Recap and update on CVS project status:
The Pellini building has "been tagged" and CVS must remove the graffiti.
CVS had applied for a demolition permit some months ago and was informed no permit would be issued until resolution of the CVS lawsuit against the City regarding the moratorium on drive thrus. The City Council has until mid-October to either let the moratorium expire or to issue a permanent ban on drive thrus. The CVS suit against the City has been moved from State Superior Court to Federal Superior Court. This could take a long time to resolve.
CVS has now been informed that they must comply with the City's recently approved ordinance requiring solar installations on new commercial buildings .
In a separate action, the process for resolving the suit by Committee for Small Town Sebastopol has, at request of CVS, been extended 12 times since its filing in August, 2011. Currently the Administrative Record on this suit is due on July 23, and final brief by November 8, 2013. Small Town's suit claimed that the traffic study on which the Mitigated Negative Declaration was issued in July, 2011, was inadequate because The Barlow was not included in the study, nor was any traffic beyond High St. to the west of the site.
CalTrans has yet to receive from CVS a complete application for an encroachment permit to access the site from State Highways 116 and 12.
