Shell Fueling Station (13435 Bowman Road, Auburn) Design Review (PLN25-00248)

The Design Site Review Agreement, identified as project PLN25-00248, authorizes the rebranding of an existing Speedway fueling station and convenience store to a Shell fueling station located at 13435 Bowman Road in Auburn, California. The project involves a 1,904 square-foot convenience store and a 1,960 square-foot fueling canopy with four gasoline pumps. The scope of work includes refacing and painting the existing facilities and canopy with Shell logos and color schemes, refacing all existing signage, and redesigning the illuminated sign located off Bowman Road. The project is managed by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, with Claudia Garcia serving as the primary technician and point of contact. An entitlement action for the design review was dated October 23, 2025, and the project was officially signed on October 27, 2025. Due to the nature of the work being minor alterations to existing facilities, the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15305, as well as Placer County Code Sections 18.36.030 and 18.36.070.
