Document Description
Marquez Brothers International (MBI) proposes to construct a new dairy processing facility on an approximately 49.4-acre site located east of the City in Kings County, California (Project). MBI produces cheese, cream, yogurt, whey protein concentrate powder, and other dairy products. MBI’s Master Plan for the future includes new construction in nine phases over several years that would include relocating select product manufacturing from the current South 11th Avenue Hanford campus to the new facility on Lacey Boulevard.
The proposed facility would include buildings for office uses, raw processing, product processing, and warehousing, as well as a utility building. The proposed facility would also include internal roadways, parking areas, two on-site stormwater retention basins, landscaping, fencing, and three driveways along Lacey Boulevard.
The proposed Project would require approval of an annexation into the City, a Sphere of Influence (SOI) expansion, a General Plan Amendment, prezoning, and a Site Plan Review. There may be additional approvals required to accommodate construction of any development proposed on the other adjacent parcels not included as part of the Project, There is no new development or change in land use proposed on these additional parcels with this Project.
