Shell Fueling Station (13461 Bowman Road, Auburn) Design Review (PLN25-00247)

The Design Site Review Agreement, identified as project PLN25-00247, authorizes the rebranding of an existing Speedway fueling station and convenience store to a Shell fueling station located at 13461 Bowman Road in Auburn, California. The project scope involves modifications to a 1,435 square-foot convenience store and a 2,240 square-foot fueling canopy featuring four gasoline and two diesel pumps. Key deliverables include refacing and painting the facility and canopy with Shell logos and color schemes, updating all existing signage, and redesigning the illuminated sign on Bowman Road. Administered by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, the project is categorized as 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, due to the minor nature of the land use alterations. The entitlement action for the design review was dated October 23, 2025, with the official notice of exemption signed by technician Claudia Garcia on October 27, 2025.
