Mountain Brew Coffee Shop

An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the Mountain Brew Coffee Shop Project.

The Mountain Brew Coffee Shop Project (proposed project) would include the renovation of an existing 1,728-sf single-story building to develop a dine-in coffee shop with dual drive-through lanes. The coffee shop would include food and drink preparation areas, an indoor pick-up counter, indoor and outdoor seating areas, and restrooms. A total of 22 automobile parking stalls would be provided in the northern and eastern portions of the site, including one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant parking stall. Primary site access would be from two existing driveways off of Cold Stream Road, which would allow vehicles to enter and exit the project site. The project would include site improvements, including landscaping; utilities and lighting improvements; a new café sign; and a new trash, recycling, and composting enclosure.

The proposed project requires the following approvals from the Town of Truckee:

  • Use Permit
  • Zoning Clearance

Staff has prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. The document is now available for review in the Community Development Department, Planning Division and on the Town's website at the Growth and Major Development Projects page. Identified potential significant environmental impacts include air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and tribal cultural resources. However, the Town has incorporated mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the potential impacts. Additionally, the proposed project is not listed on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code as related to hazardous materials. The public review period for the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration begins on August 25, 2023 and ends on September 25, 2023.

Public Hearing: The date, time, and place of future public hearings will be appropriately notified per Town and CEQA requirements.
