OSO had its final hearing on May 29, 2026. While the Judge issued a tentative to deny OSO’s petition, this was largely premised on the Court’s view that the City only certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Multi-Building Truck Bay Reduction Alternative (MBTRA), and not the 114-truck bay project. This week, we received the final ruling, and the judge upheld the tentative, denying our petition.
While the judge made several comments in the hearing that she believed the EIR only certified the MBTRA concept and its proposed 28 truck bays, she did not consider our evidence that suggests otherwise, including internal communications from City Staff (as featured in our video below) that the developer wanted to analyze the full intensity project to avoid a need to revise the EIR if a future tenant needed 114 truck bays, assurances from several commissioners that future expansion would be possible after approval of the MBTRA concept, and City Council Member Eric Joyce and Mayor Sanchez’s comments that explain the risk of approving the project this way.
OSO is working with our attorneys on next legal steps. We will share more information as soon as we know more.
