The Livermore Planning Commission is set to hold a public hearing at Tuesday’s regular meeting to consider a one-year entitlement extension for a project by Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority to construct a new campus.
LAVTA, also known as Wheels, initially received approval for its Atlantis Operations & Maintenance Facility project during May of 2023.
Located at 875 Atlantis St., the approximately nine-acre site — currently used in part as a bus maintenance facility for the agency — is slated for the development of an approximately 22,400-square-foot administration building, an approximately 32,600-square-foot bus maintenance facility, a hydrogen fueling station, employee amenities, surface parking, landscaping and lighting for the agency, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore Senior Planner Ashley Vera.
Upon the commission’s approval of a site plan design review modification for the project May 2, 2023, the entitlement was set to expire two years later. Ahead of its expiration, the Livermore community development director extended the SPDRM entitlement to May 2, 2026.
Since the project approval, LAVTA has been awarded funding for the hydrogen fueling station and facilities from the Federal Transit Administration, the staff report states.
The extension request before the Planning Commission April 21 is a “final one-year extension” to the SPDRM with the goal of submitting building permit applications prior to the expiration of the extension, according to the staff report. As its second request for an entitlement extension, LAVTA must receive the Planning Commission’s approval by public hearing to be granted the additional time.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (April 21). The full agenda is available here.

As the city works to update its existing 2003 General Plan, the commission is slated to provide recommendations to the Livermore City Council regarding modifications to the Draft General Plan 2045.
The update is meant to reflect current priorities in the community and guide decision-making over the next 20 years, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore Principal Planner Andy Ross.
Prior to making recommendations on the draft, the commissioners are set to receive a presentation on the document as well as consider feedback from the community, the General Plan Advisory Committee and city staff.
