Elm Tree Station

The Elm Tree Station project, located at 874 N Wright Road in Santa Rosa, California, involves the construction of a gas station featuring six gas pumps and four electric charging stations. The development includes a 3,448-square-foot general retail space with an 806-square-foot one-bedroom apartment above, an additional 432-square-foot retail area, and park-like amenities such as a patio, trellis, benches, and a picnic area. The City of Santa Rosa approved the project following environmental reviews under the California Environmental Quality Act, determining that the project would not have a significant environmental effect. Project execution is subject to strict operational and environmental constraints. Construction activities are limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with no work permitted on Sundays or holidays. Material and fuel deliveries are restricted to weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Environmental compliance requires adherence to BAAQMD air quality standards, including limiting diesel vehicle idling to five minutes and maintaining toxic air contaminants below 10 parts per million within a 1,000-foot zone. Noise mitigation measures mandate that construction equipment be fitted with mufflers to keep noise levels below 80 dB at 50 feet. The project also requires compliance with fire, building, and health and safety codes, including a fire flow analysis and the payment of Capital Improvement fees.
