BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On May 19, 1992 , the Board of Supervisors approved the project
consisting of a permanent homeless shelter for single adults at
#2047 Arnold Industrial Way, in the North Concord area of the
County.
On December 14, 1992, the Contra Costa County Superior Court ruled
that the project was inconsistent with the General Plan, and that
preparation and consideration of an EIR, under the California
Environmental Quality Act, is required for the project.
On January 26, 1993 , the Board of Supervisors authorized a study to
consider the possibility of amending the General Plan concerning
the operation of County Homeless Shelters, including the Central
County Homeless Shelter in the North Concord area.
On February 5, 1993 , the Community Development Department issued a
Notice of Preparation (NOP) on the proposed Homeless Shelter
General Plan Amendment and North Concord Homeless Shelter and
Offices. Public comments on the NOP have been received. Staff has
selected a consultant for the EIR work.
The EIR scope of work will review, among other things, the
potential impacts of the establishment of a permanent, year-round
operation of a Homeless Shelter at the North Concord site. It will
also consider, as an alternative, a winter-only shelter operation.
