Document Description: The Fruit Growers Supply Company Sawmill Project proposes a CUP to allow the construction of a new sawmill, log processing area, and shipping center for the purpose of receiving and processing timber and distributing a product of pallet stock lumber. The proposed project site is abandoned and has historically been used as a lumber sawmill. In addition to remediating existing contamination-related issues associated with the site, the project is proposing a two-story, premanufactured 50,000-sf sawmill building, a premanufactured 12,000 sf truck and equipment maintenance shop, new truck weighing scales, a raw product delivery area, a sprinklered log deck/log storage area, a wood-waste storage and recovery area, a finished product and shipping area, a 45-space paved parking area, an on-site fire suppression/irrigation system, and a storm water drainage system. In addition, the project proposes to improve the existing Internal circulation system on-site, through such improvements would not include permanent pavement. The proposed project would also reuse approximately 6,000 sf of existing building space on-site for the purpose of office space. The project would operate 8 to 10 hours daily 5 days a week between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
