Development services staff told the Planning Commission on Sept. 24 that the Lampson development project is nearing an agreement to connect to the local sewer system and obtain base approval for certain stormwater/water quality discharges.

During staff reports a commissioner asked for an update on the Lampson project; staff said developers are "close on getting a deal with the Rossmore, Los Alamitos sewer district" to allow connections and that the military base may allow discharge tied to the project’s water quality management plan (WQMP).

Staff added that construction will entail installing a new pipeline along Lampson and that the new line will run about six feet away from the existing sewer. The presentation indicated property agreements and interagency coordination remain in process; staff described the matter as near resolution but not fully finalized.

Commissioners asked follow-up questions about whether sewer flow would be routed down Lampson and about potential construction impacts. Staff answered that the pipeline would likely be built down Lampson, with the related construction activity and temporary impacts to the roadway expected while the work is carried out.

There was no formal action recorded on this agenda item; staff said negotiations and technical approvals continue and that staff would report updates as agreements are finalized.
