File Number: UP-95-8 Location: On the north side of Louise Avenue, 1470 feet west of Airport Way, north of Manteca Address: 2801 E. Louise Avenue, Manteca General Pian: I/L Community: Manteca Zoning: I-L APN: 198-110-02 Project Size: 80 acres Parcel Size: 80 acres Water Supply: Private well Sewage Disposal: Septic system Storm Drainage: Natural 100-Year Flood: No Williamson Act: No Supervisorial District: 3 Staff: Chandler Martin CEOA Determination: Negative Declaration Project Description The project is to establish a multi-purpose operation for the recycling of wood and green waste products and the storage of specimen nursery stock. All items will be sold wholesale. No retail is proposed. No composting is proposed. Two buildings of approximately 64,680 square feet each exist on the site with various smaller buildings. The applicant anticipates processing approximately 150,000 tons of wood and green waste annually. Approximately half of the product is expected to be shipped by rail. Proposed hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Water will be supplied by an existing well. Sewage disposal will be by septic system. Natural storm drainage is proposed. Even though the I-L zone prohibits outdoor processing, the applicant is proposing that most, not all, of the wood and green waste processing is to take place inside the buildings, with the largest pieces (e.g., logs and stumps) being processed outside. The processing, including vermiculture, will result in wood chips, mulch, landscape products, soil amendments, and other related by-products. Bagging is also proposed. The northern half of the property will be for storage. Equipment will include wheel loaders, tub grinders, chippers, screening plants to clean and classify products, forklifts, trucks, water trucks, and possibly tractors. A trailer tipping device is proposed between the two main buildings. This device will tip a semi-trailer to unload its payload of wood or green waste. These raw materials will then be transported to the main buildings by belt or other means. The southernmost portion of the property is to be used to store specimen trees. Mature.specimen trees will be transplanted from their growing locations and transported to this site for storage prior to delivery. Recommendation Approval.
