Use Permit Application No. PLN2022-0066 – Five Star Carrier Xpress, Inc.

Request to legalize a commercial truck parking facility on a 9.85± acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-10) zoning district. The applicant is proposing a parking area for 12 truck-tractor and 24 trailers. Additionally, the applicant will utilize an existing 1,326 square-foot metal shop for storing truck tires and light maintenance tools. No fueling, repairs, or maintenance of the trucks will occur on-site. The proposed parking area of the project site is 1.5± acres and currently graveled. The applicant proposes to transport dry goods such as: ladders, empty cans, and water bottles; no products will be stored on-site. Although the truck parking facility requires a Use Permit to operate, the parking of personal vehicles and agricultural equipment as proposed by the applicant is a permitted use within the A-2 zoning district. As the site is already being used for truck parking without the necessary permits and was cited by Code Enforcement, a Use Permit is required to legalize the existing use on the property. A 6-foot-tall wood fence surrounds the north and south sides of the parking area to screen and prevent trespassing onto adjacent agricultural lands. The project proposes six employees during a maximum shift and one employee during a minimum shift. No restrooms are proposed as part of this request. The proposed hours of operation are 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The project site is improved with two single-family dwellings, the balance of the property is planted in row crops. The project site is located in the City of Turlock’s LAFCO adopted Sphere of Influence. The project site has access to County-maintained Golf Road via a single driveway. The applicant proposes to utilize this driveway for both the proposed use and the existing residence. Lastly, the site is served by private well and septic system, and proposes to maintain stormwater runoff on-site through overland drainage.
