EXHIBIT A Project Description -American Containers, Inc. 3932 Budweiser Court, Stockton Applicant American Containers, Inc. seeks to repurpose the existing, vacant 87,075+sq. ft. building located at 3932 Budweiser Court as the new location for its Stockton facility. This facility would be used for the manufacture and distribution of corrugated paper products(boxes, load securement, door filler materials, and pallets). The company started under founder Leonard Isban with a small plant in Plymouth, Indiana, over 50 years ago. In addition to improving the Indiana facility,American Containers added an east coast facility in Carrollton, GA, and then in 2006 the company opened its west coast facility at the Port of Stockton. American Containers intends to relocate that facility from the Port of Stockton to the project site which will be purchased and held by a related entity, Leonard D. Isban Properties, LLC, which is in escrow to purchase the property from current owner Unified Grocers, Inc. The applicant is informed that the project site was previously used for beverage storage and distribution by Anheuser Busch, and then for grocery storage and distribution by current owner Unified Grocers. The project would involve the manufacture and distribution of corrugated paper packaging products. This is an indoor light-duty manufacturing process which starts with the receipt of stacks of large (approx. 4' x 8') sheets of corrugated paper. These sheets are then cut to standard and custom sizes, glued, and printed (as appropriate),and then shipped to the customer. This is a M-F single shift indoor operation of approximately 30 employees, and 10 diesel trucks per day. Traffic from the project is expected to be substantially less than that generated by the prior distribution uses. The project site already receives water, sewer, and storm water services though CSA-15. The manufacture of the products does produce dust and scraps which are collected through a large cyclone separator system located immediately outside of the building. This paper-based waste is then disposed of, recycled, or reused.The property is zoned Limited Industrial and Applicant believes the project would be categorized as a "light" industrial use—which requires a "Site Approval" in this zoning district pursuant to the Development Title. i V
