Wilbur-Ellis Consolidation Facility Use Permit

Wilbur-Ellis Consolidation Facility Use Permit

The proposed project is a request for a Major Use Permit to consolidate two existing agricultural retail facilities into one facility located at 38001 County Road 27 in unincorporated Yolo County. The proposed project would convert an existing seed research facility into a centralized facility for the distribution of fertilizer and agricultural products. The site currently has an existing 11,500-sf office, greenhouses, maintenance building, and parking. New construction would include a 20,000-sf chemical warehouse, 12,500-sf liquid fertilizer containment area, 7,500-sf dry fertilizer storage, expanded driveway, and truck scale. The majority of the remaining 24 acres would be used for equipment storage. The project site is located on a 69-acre Williamson Act contracted parcel and has a 45-acre conservation easement held by the Yolo County Land Trust and the City of Woodland for Swainson’s hawk mitigation. The easement area will remain in agricultural production.
