CITY OF SAN MARCOS EXPERIENCE

 
Our team has worked closely with the City for many years to provide CEQA compliance services and technical report preparation. Sophia Mitchell & Associates has completed over 35 CEQA documents for the City, including Environmental Impact Reports, FEIR Addenda, Initial Study/Negative Declarations and Exemption Documentation for a variety of private developments. This includes over 10,000 residential unit of all types (single family, multi-family, affordable housing and assisted living/memory care), over 3 million s.f. of commercial, 700,000 s.f. of light industrial, and over 650 hotel rooms. Our team has supported City staff at community workshops and public hearings.
 
We have a solid understanding of the City’s environmental setting, policies, analysis thresholds, typical issues, and general community concerns. Our knowledge of the City brings a high level of expertise that benefits project applicants through quicker document preparation. We truly enjoy the work that we do and feel a great sense of satisfaction when we help our clients achieve their project goals.
