3 – Project Description Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 3-4 Project Objectives Consistent with this purpose and need, the primary objectives sought by the Project are as follows: • Objective 1: Develop a jobs-producing and tax-generating land use near transportation corridors within San Joaquin County that provides diverse economic opportunities for those residing and wishing to invest within southern San Joaquin County. • Objective 2: Concentrate non-residential uses near existing roadways, highways, and freeways in an effort to isolate and reduce any potential environmental impacts related to truck traffic congestion, air emissions, and industrial noise to the greatest extent feasible. • Objective 3: Develop a fiscally sound and employment generating land use that maximizes utilization of an underutilized, previously developed industrially zoned parcel. • Objective 4: Fulfill the existing and growing demand for logistics and warehouse uses in the region. • Objective 5: Construct high-quality industrial development in an appropriate location, consistent with existing surrounding industrial land uses in the vicinity. 3.4 Proposed Project 3.4.1 Project Characteristics The Project would involve construction and operation of three single-story warehouse buildings totaling approximately 678,913 square feet (Figure 3-4, Site Plan). Building A would be located within the northwestern one-third of the Project site and would include approximately 228,313 square feet of warehouse space and 2,968 square feet of office space (231,281 square feet of building area in total). Bu ilding B would be located within the southwestern one-third of the Project site and would include approximately 278,650 square feet of warehouse space and 3,006 square feet of office space (281,656 square feet of building area in total). Building C would b e located within the eastern one-third of the Project site and would include approximately 163,012 square feet of warehouse space and 2,964 square feet of office space (165,976 square feet of building area in total). Although the future occupants of the Project are unknown at this time, the buildings would be used for light warehousing and distribution uses as defined by the County of San Joaquin Ordinance Code (Section 9-115.585), which is most commonly warehouse and distribution operations. In general, the Project would support a variety of activities associated with the three warehouse buildings, including the ingressing and egressing of passenger vehicles and trucks; the loading and unloading of trucks within designated truck courts/loading areas ; and the internal and external movement of materials around the Project site via forklifts, pallet jacks, yard hostlers, and similar equipment. In addition, the office space would support general internal office activities related to the warehouse uses. Based on typical employee densities for warehousing and distribution uses, it is expected that approximately 555 employees would work on site throughout a typical workday. At this time, no refrigeration is being proposed as part of the Project, and the Project applicant currently has no plans to lease to any tenant needing refrigerated space.
