SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment Request by the Appian Way Group
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize a General Plan Amendment review as requested by the
Appian Way Group for a 3 .7 acre parcel of land located on Appian
Way in the E1 Sobrante community.
Staff will proceed by preparing a report which will then be
scheduled for public hearing before the County Planning Commission.
Following this, the Commission would forward its recommendation to
the Board for a final determination after a public hearing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If the General Plan study is authorized by the Board, a General
Plan Amendment fee would be paid to cover the cost of processing
the amendment request.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Appian Way Group is a limited partnership that is represented
by Little & Saputo ( 49 Quail Court, Suite 311, Walnut Creek, CA
94596 ) . Little & Saputo, on behalf of the Appian Way Group, has
requested that the Board authorize a General Plan Amendment study
for a 3 .7 acre parcel of land located in E1 Sobrante (see
accompanying map) . The El Sobrante Area General Plan, adopted in
1980, designates the property in the "Multiple Family
Residential-Low Density" category (7 to 12 units per net acre) . The
parcel is included within the "Appian Way Corridor Special Concern
Area. " The E1 Sobrante Area General Plan contains detailed
development standards for this corridor.
The request is to change the General Plan designation for the
property from "Multiple, Family Residential-Low Density" to
"Public/Semi-Public" to allow the construction of a new post
office.

The Appian Way Group owns the 3 . 7 acre parcel on Appian Way near
the intersection of Argyle Road and has an agreement with the
U.S. Postal Service to sell the land to the federal agency. The
Postal Service intends to build a 16 ,000 square foot building, to
replace the inadequate current facilities in the area. The agency
desires to change the zoning of the property to a commercial
designation before they commit to buying the land. According to
Little and Saputo, the U.S. Postal Service has already completed
the first phase of the purchase, which involves the title company
taking title to the property, with the federal agency taking
title as soon as the General Plan Amendment and rezoning is
completed.
The applicant has had initial discussions with staff and a
decision has been made to request a General Plan Amendment to
designate the property "Public/Semi-Public. " A concurrent
application will then request that the County rezone the property
from "M-12" (12 units per acre) to "Neighborhood Business. "
Relationship to the General Plan Review Program
As the Board is aware, the Community Development staff and the 65
member Planning Congress have been working for the last two years
on a comprehensive, Countywide General Plan update. The Board has
previously adopted two sets of resolutions, on April 29 , 1986 and
August 5 , 1986, which give staff and the Congress direction
during the General Plan Review period. The resolutions direct
staff to discourage all General Plan Amendment requests that
would involve the conversion of open space or agricultural lands
to urban uses, until the new General Plan is adopted.
This request does not involve open space properties. The
requested General Plan Amendment is for a vacant parcel that is
located within an already developed area of El Sobrante. If
adopted, the General Plan Amendment would allow "in fill"
development to occur, which is not in conflict with the interim
policies adopted by the Board for the period prior to when the
General Plan update is completed.
