HomeMy WebLinkAboutEDAC22-0001 Proposal_Questions PBM Supply & MFG., Inc. 324 Meyers St. Chico CA 95928 530.345.1334 PBM would like to move operations to the site of 2384 Dayton Road, Chico CA. We would like to do this in 3 phases over the next several years in a way that funding and operations allow. We understand that there will be some costs and time associated with planning and compliance, so would like to use this meeting to lay out our intents and identify what is required to achieve them so that we can budget our time and resources accordingly. PBM currently performs retail, wholesale distribution and light manufacturing operations at our Meyers st location, and we would like to move these over to the Dayton location in a phased process. Phase 1: We would like to prepare the site and lay the groundwork for our future expansion plan. Phase 1 will include the proper utility and site preparations, and the construction of a building to preform retail and wholesale agricultural distribution out of. We would like to factor in any ingress/egress, parking and utility requirements at this time. Phase 2: Phase 2 will include the construction of a facility to house our assembly operations, This will include one or two steel buildings to accommodate agricultural sprayer and trailer assembly. Phase 3: We are anticipating phase 3 to be the longest and most costly portion of our plan. Phase 3 will be the construction of buildings to house our light manufacturing operations. These operations include metal processing and coating operations (laser cutting, forming, welding, powder coating and paint). Our intent is to leave the existing residence located on the north end of the property as a caretaker unit and build out the rest of the property around it. The back half of the property will continue to be used for agricultural production. We have several questions that we would like to answer at this meeting to accommodate our budgeting concerns. Questions: Does the current zoning allow for the plan described in this document? Does an agricultural maintenance plan need to be created? Please describe the agricultural maintenance plan requirements and restrictions, associated costs, and timeline. Does a conditional use permit need to be submitted? Please describe the requirements and restrictions for a Conditional use permit, associated costs and timeline. Does an administrative use permit need to be submitted to for the caretaker unit? What is the process for an administrative permit? What does it cost? How long does it take? What are the potential conditions? Based upon PBM’s operations, can you Identify what use types will define PBM’s operations? Agricultural product sales on and off site? Agricultural support services general/light? Manufacturing general/heavy/light? There is a retail portion of PBM’s business (selling agricultural parts), is this allowed under under in the Agricultural Services zoning? Since this is a phased build-out, will we need to enter into a development agreement with the county? Will we need to go through a CEQA process (California Environmental Quality Act)? If so, please thoroughly describe the requirements, cost and timeline of this process. What are the requirements or permits needed for the following: powder coating paint booth powder coat metal fabrication resale/wholesale distribution of ag products Will our existing permits be able to be moved to the new location, or do we need to re-apply? Are there building size threshold requirements? (eg: buildings over X ft2 require…….) Are there waste water, power, fire, or utility requirements that are needed for this build? What are the surface water and drainage requirements? Can we fill in the ditch in front of the property to allow for ingress/egress? What’s the process? Can we have multiple ingress/egress points? What are the septic system requirements? What are the fire flow requirements for the buildings? What are the fire department/ emergency services access requirements? If the power lines need to be raised to accommodate for large trucks, what is the process for this?
