The original environmental documents were approved in 2007, but the firm has challenged several aspects of the analysis.
Specifically, the letter sent by an attorney from Oakland-based environmental law firm of Lozeau Drury LLP alleges a number of flaws in the environmental analysis, including that it failed to analyze the project’s reasonably foreseeable impacts from the proposed light industrial zoning and potential impacts on biological resources.
Attorney Paige Fennie called the supplemental environmental impact report “wholly inadequate” and urged the council to delay action to allow staff time to review the concerns.
Dana Eady, a city planner, said the delay would allow staff time to review the issues mentioned in the lengthy letter.

Creating a long-sought secondary access to the Elks Unocal Event Center took another step forward this week with an Orcutt Community Plan amendment to include the new section of road in its Transportation section text and circulation map.
Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the amendment, as recommended by the Planning Commission in October, at its meeting Tuesday.
Not including the unknown cost of acquiring rights of way, the project is currently estimated at $5.51 million, including $3.8 million in construction costs alone, and those figures are likely to rise before work is completed.
The roadway is widely supported by residents in Orcutt and Santa Maria as well as Santa Maria Elks Recreation Inc. and Santa Maria Joint Union High School District trustees.
