9.4 Acre project site

Green Valley Rd bordered by Shadowfax Ln to the west

Project site is located at the southwestern corner area of Green Valley Road and Sophia Parkway in El Dorado Hills. The site is vacant and has been historically used for small scale agriculture. The site is horizontally bisected by a wetland/drainage area.

Most recently, the site was approved for a conditional use permit/planned development permit for a nursery in 2013; however, the permit was never officially executed and is currently null and void.

The property has a Commercial land use designation and the proposed use is consistent with this land use designation

Silver Springs Residential Project Subdivision Improvement Agreement & Final Map





On September 26, 2006 (Item 15), the Board approved the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) and Final Map for the development known as Silver Springs, Unit I. The SIA required completion of all subdivision improvements no later than September 26, 2008. On July 17, 2007 (Item 19), the Board of Supervisors approved the First Amendment to the SIA which allowed the Owner to substitute the original performance and labor and materialmens bonds with bonds issued by a different surety. The original bonds were released at that time.

• Subsequently, the Owner requested a one-year time extension to the required completion date. As one of several complex and interrelated agreements for the Silver Springs development… the Director of Transportation granted the time extension to September 26, 2009. Transportation, however, did not thereafter process a written amendment to the agreement.

• 2nd Amendment to SIA: April 2010, one-year time extension to the required completion date of September 26, 2010

• 3rd Amendment to SIA: September 2012, an extension to the required completion date of September 26, 2013

• 4th Amendment to SIA: November 2013, an extension to the required completion date of September 24, 2014

• 5th Amendment to SIA: September 2014, an extension to the required completion date of September 24, 2015

• 6th Amendment to SIA: October 2015, an extension to the required completion date of September 24, 2016

• 7th Amendment to SIA: January 2016, adopted Resolution 012-2016 approving the performance period extension of agreements with a performance period expiration date in the 2016 calendar year. Resolution 012-2016 authorized staff to process the SIA performance period extensions without having to bring each amendment before the Board. Amendment 7 extending the performance period to September 24, 2017 was processed under this authority





Due to changes in ownership and resultant changes to the plans and cost estimate, there has been a significant delay in obtaining all the necessary paperwork to process Amendment 8. In order to correct the performance period, with Amendment 8, staff is requesting a three year performance period to extend the performance period to September 24, 2020.

Stakeholder Meeting Update


Conceptual El Dorado Hills Costco







Costco is in the preliminary stages of considering building a warehouse in El Dorado Hills on the east side of Silva Valley Parkway. This document provides information about the process and timeline, the number of jobs created, member demographics, why this location is currently preferred by Costco, and other information.

Q: Is the decision to build in El Dorado Hills final?

A: No, Costco has an internal selection and approval process which includes the company president doing a site visit. Costco representatives said they hope to have a final decision in April.

Q: If they do select this site, how long would it be until it is open for business?

A: Costco anticipates approximately 18-24 months for environmental approvals and permitting and a year to build the warehouse for a total of approximately three years, making the opening in 2022.



Q: Why would Costco build a warehouse three miles and one freeway exit away from the existing Folsom warehouse?

A: There are several areas in California that have two warehouses within a 3-mile proximity to one another. The primary reason Costco is considering the El Dorado Hills location is to take pressure off the Folsom Costco and provide members at both warehouses with a better experience. The Folsom Costco is currently operating over ideal capacity with members from Folsom and El Dorado County. The build-out of Folsom Ranch will likely increase demands on that store, but even without it, the market allows for an additional warehouse in close proximity to serve those from El Dorado Hills and other areas throughout the County. Costco prefers to have easy freeway access where possible and Silva Valley Parkway interchange is the only A-rated interchange in the County. Other options east of Silva Valley Parkway are not ideal due to issues from inadequate interchanges to handle traffic demand and a lower supporting population base. There are approximately 40,000 Costco members in the identified trade area, so the necessary customer base already exists.



Q: How large would the warehouse be and what would it look like?

A: This warehouse would follow Costco’s typical size of 150,000 square feet. The company would hold community meetings to gather input on the design to ensure it reflects the look and feel of El Dorado Hills and infrastructure in that area. The new warehouse would have approximately 780-800 parking spaces. Additionally, there would be a fueling station on the west side of Silva Valley Parkway. Locating the fueling station across the street would result in less traffic in the warehouse parking lot and provides additional distance from existing residences and the school.

Q: How many jobs would the warehouse provide?

A: The new warehouse would employ between 200-250 people. Costco hires predominately local residents, though there will be some percentage of transfers from other stores (likely those who

live closer to the EDH than they do to the warehouse in which they currently work). Like other warehouses, approximately half of the employees will be full time, half will be part time (minimum of 24 hours per week).



Q: What is the employee wage range and benefits package?

A: The starting salary for Costco employees is $15 an hour for a Service Assistant and tops out at $28.25 for a Meat Cutter. Its average US hourly wage is $23 with a full time cashier making nearly $57,000 annually after five years. Costco offers medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, mental health, life insurance, disability, long term care, employee assistance program, flexible spending accounts, stock purchase program, 11 holidays per year, college student retention program, free Costco membership with a 2% award, and 401(k) to full time employees. Part time employees are offered core medical, dental and vacation benefits after six months. The company also promotes from within, providing great opportunity for career advancement.



Q: How does Costco plan to mitigate traffic noise and light pollution for nearby residents?

A: The entrance, parking and delivery bays all face Silva Valley Parkway, thereby directing all the noise away from the residents (see site drawing). The back of the warehouse –which would abut the residential neighborhood – would include a “buffer” zone that is free from any activity. Additionally, deliveries are very controlled; full trucks are driven in and the driver then picks up an empty truck. Costco places strict time limits on when deliveries are made and length of time to complete them. Finally, the LED lights used in the parking lot are all on the Silva Valley Parkway side of the site and are turned off approximately one hour after the warehouse closes.



Q:How would traffic on Silva Valley Parkway be impacted by a new warehouse?

A: The County Department of Transportation would develop the required traffic study parameters. They would include Silva Valley Parkway, County Club Drive, Clarksville Crossing, White Rock Road and other area roads the County deems important to study. A thorough traffic study will be required by the County as part of the Environmental Impact Report and California Environmental Quality Act process.

Q: How would traffic on nearby schools be impacted by a new warehouse?

A: The warehouse opens at 10:00 am weekdays, avoiding conflict with the start time of schools. Additionally, the peak times are weekends and holidays, which don’t conflict with school times.
