LU06-0126 - Expansion of Existing Nursery

Expand the operation by adding: (i) two approximately 20-acre metal and glass greenhouses to expand the existing tomato production operations; (ii) Proposed construction to support the facility expansion including approximately 45,830 square feet of new development including a proposed loading dock, cooler, packing house, office, guard shack and two 1 million gallon water tanks; (iii) 288 parking spaces, to provide a total of 344 parking spaces. Proposed access roads and parking areas would be surfaced with gravel to retain as much pervious area on the site as possible (except for required disabled parking and the loading dock); (iv) A 60-foot wide bridge to the project site from Laguna Road to provide secondary access. Currently, there are 115 workers in existing offices, coolers, and packinghouses, and 212 workers in the greenhouses, for a total of 327 employees. The applicant proposes 27 new employees for the office/packing/loading building (total of 142) and 41 new employees for each of the two proposed greenhouses (total of 294), for a total of 109 new employees. Thus, there would be a total of 436 employees at the facility after the project is completed.
