Document Description
The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of a 630,000 square foot electric school bus manufacturing facility on approximately 30 acres (SPR No. 17-003) of a 160 acre site. The facility would include 570,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 60,000 square feet of office space. The office space would be divided between the ground floor and a mezzanine level. Prep and paint booths would also be included as part of the manufacturing process. At full production levels, it is estimated that the facility would produce approximately 4,000 buses per year. A total of 138 bus parking spaces (for completed buses) would be provided on the west side of the building while employee parking would be provided along the northern and eastern portions of the project site. It is anticipated that the proposed project would employee 650 individuals; 100 office staff and 550 manufacturing staff.
A total of three drainage basins would be provided along the eastern portion of the project site between the driveway and the employee parking area. The entire perimeter would be landscaped and landscaping would be placed throughout the parking areas. Access to the project site would be from two driveways from Avenue H.
As part of the proposed project, a General Plan Amendment (GPA No. 17-007) and Zone Change (ZC No.
17-006) have been requested for the entire 160 acres. The General Plan Amendment would change the General Plan designation from NU to LI and the Zone Change would change the subject property’s zoning from RR-2.5 to LI.
