Use Permit Application No. 2009-03 - Caloy Company

This is a two part request. First this is a request to expand an existing almond and walnut oil extraction facility. The operation currently consists of a 16,400 square foot warehouse/office building, silos, loading area, and truck scales. Product currently must be shipped to a refinery site in Germany prior to retail sale. This project requests construction of a 24,750 square foot warehouse (41 feet in height) which will house equipment to allow additional processing of the nut oil. Construction of the new warehouse would occur un two phases. Phase 1, which must begin within 18 months of project approval, will include construction of approximately 9,000 square feet which will include an office, lab, boiler room, cooler and processing area. Phase 2 will include construction of the remaining square footage and will expand the processing floor area. The expansion would also increase asphalt cover by 20,400 square feet. Accessory structures such as silos and a cooling tower will also be constructed with the expansion. The business runs 24 hours a day with 13 employees on maximum shifts. No increase in traffic is anticipated as the expansion will yield the same amount of product. The operation was originally approved under Rezone Application No. 2006-13, whcih changed the zoning designation of the property from A-2-40 to Planned Deevelopment 312. The second portion of this application includes a request for an amendment to the development plan by way of a six month time extension, ending on February 15, 2010, to allow the applicant to comply with the development standards.
