Universal Forest Products June 10,2015 (Revised June 19,2015) Ms. Corinne King, Senior Planner San Joaquin County Planning Department 1810 East Hazleton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205-6232 RE: Parking Modification Request UFP Thornton, LLC,26200 Nowell Road, Thornton, CA Dear Ms. King: Regarding the parking spaces needed for UFP Thornton, LLC, and the site plan we have submitted, please be advised that we expect the total base employment to be 95 production employees and 28 administrative/professional. During the seasonal peak production time,we anticipate that the total employment base would increase to around 334 positions, spread over 2 shifts. The peak season is usually April-November, and a 2nd shift would be employed during this period. The maximum number of employees that we forecast on any given shift is approximately 160 production employees and 28 administrative staff, for a maximum of 188 employees on the day shift(generally 5:00 a.m.— 1:30 p.m.). During the peak employment period,many of the seasonal employees ride share. We estimate that 25%of the employees ride share. Customer visits to the site are minimal, it is primarily a production facility.The facility manufactures lumber products, and the raw material requires large areas of covered storage space. Since the most parking we will require during the largest shift during the peak season is 141 spaces (75%of the peak seasonal employment base due to ride sharing), we believe that the existing parking area for 250 vehicles is more than enough to accommodate our parking needs(as shown on our submitted site plan). We appreciate your consideration of this request. Sincerely, Kevin W.
