SAN JACINTO RETAIL CENTER

The San Jacinto Retail Center project, identified as PROJ23-0032, is a development proposal submitted by PM Design on behalf of AU Energy LLC for the City of San Jacinto, California. The project involves the construction and operation of a service station on a 2.2-acre lot, featuring six fuel pumps, a 4,050 square foot convenience store with alcohol sales, and a 3,099 square foot car wash. The scope of work includes minor grading, trenching, and the installation of fire hydrants and utility connections for water, sewer, gas, and electricity. To proceed, the project requires a Site Plan and Design Review, a Conditional Use Permit, and a Minor Use Permit. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been granted categorical exemptions under sections 15183, 15303, 15304, and 15332, confirming its consistency with community plans and its status as an in-fill development of small structures. Environmental compliance is supported by a series of technical assessments, including a Vehicle Miles Traveled screening analysis, a noise study, an air quality and greenhouse gas report, and a project-specific water quality management plan. The City of San Jacinto serves as the approving agency, with Yaneli Hernandez, Senior Planner, acting as the primary point of contact. The project was filed on January 24, 2025, and received approval on July 22, 2025.
