USE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. PLN2024-0017 – LAFOLLETTE TRUCKING

Request to legalize an existing truck parking facility, currently operating on a 9.81-acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. The parcel is currently developed with a 3,842 square-foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage and a 4,800 square-foot agricultural storage building that will not be used as part of the parking facility. The proposed truck parking facility will take place within a 1.27-acre graveled area with 12 employee parking stalls and 12 parking stalls for 12 tractors and 24 trailers. Four of the tractor trailer combinations proposed to be parked on-site are owned by the property owner, who also lives on the property. The trucks will transport nonhazardous dry goods consisting of almond shells, walnut shells, and wood chips. The trailers will be left empty when parked on-site between trips. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Six of the trailers will be used primarily for the transport of field run almonds and walnuts during peak harvest season (approximately three to four months out of the year). Access will be taken off County-maintained Pioneer Road via a 20-foot-wide asphalt driveway. The applicant has proposed to enclose the parking facility with either a six-foot-tall chain-link fence or screen landscaping with planting such as hedge rows a minimum six-foot-tall. No fueling or major tractor trailer maintenance, fluid changes, or washing will occur on-site, and all major repairs will be completed off-site. Minor maintenance limited to tire changes, light and windshield wiper replacements, and checking fluids will be conducted on-site. The parcel is served by an existing well, septic tank, and a 250-gallon propane tank. There will be no change to stormwater drainage, which will be maintained via overland runoff. The applicant has also proposed to install frontage landscaping at the Pioneer Road entrance.
