The Notice of Preparation (NOP) was issued on August 5, 2013 and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was published on September 16, 2019 for a 45-day public review period ending on October 31, 2019. The County Planning Commission held a public hearing on the DEIR on October 28, 2019. CPAC meetings were held in October and November 2019. After the end of the DEIR public review period, the Applicant requested preparation of a Recirculated DEIR to address public comments, clarify and expand upon the analysis in the DEIR, and reflect the updated regulatory context. The Recirculated DEIR was published on May 14, 2021, and includes new and revised appendices as noted below under Project Documents. The County Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Recirculated DEIR on June 28, 2021 and closed the public comment period on the Recirculated DEIR. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project on December 6, 2021, and recommended approval to the Board of Supervisors. 

The Final EIR was published on November 21, 2022, and includes Responses to Comments and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The Board of Supervisors is tentatively scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the project on December 13, 2022.
