Document Description
Conditional Use Permit CUP 10-007 proposes to bring the existing dairy facility into compliance with Merced County's permit requirements, and to expand the existing dairy so that the modified dairy would house a total 6,050 animals. This would represent an increase of 1,036 animals from existing numbers. The proposed project would include construction of approximately 120,000 sq. ft. of heifer pens and a cattle shade adjacent to the north edge of the operation. Construction of the proposed structures (in addition to ancillary dirt roadways & operation staging areas) would convert approximately 12 acres of existing cropland to active dairy facilities, increasing the area of operation from 53 to 65 acres.
