Cates Industrial Park EAW

Cates Industrial Park – Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) – east of Willow Drive, north of Chippewa Road

Jeffrey and Chris Cates propose a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Concept Plan for development of approximately 665,000 sq. ft. warehouse/industrial development.

State rules require preparation of an EAW for warehouse/industrial development in excess of 300,00 sq. ft.  The purpose of an EAW is to develop an analysis and overview of the potential impacts of the development, determine if the project will cause any significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated through normal review processes, and provide information for planning and design.

Comments were accepted from the public and relevant agencies until February 3, 2022.

On March 1, 2022, the City Council made a negative declaration on the need for and Environmental Impact Statement and adopted Findings of Fact and a Record of the Decision.
