Request to establish a farm equipment repair facility on a 19.40± acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. The site is currently improved with a 2,624± square-foot single-family dwelling with a pool, 2,989± square-foot barn, 1,632± square-foot shed, 1,440± square-foot shed, 2,800± square-foot equipment storage building, and a 6,600± square-foot shop building. The equipment repair business will utilize the shop building to make repairs to equipment consisting of a mix of agricultural equipment consisting of tractors, mowers, discs, spreaders, shakers, pickers, and elevators. The facility welds and replaces parts as needed and also machines necessary parts including shafts, hydraulic cylinders, and pins. Approximately 80% of the work is completed on-site and 20% is done on the customer’s property. The service area consists of Stanislaus and Merced County. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with three employees on a maximum shift (one shift per day), an estimated two daily customers, and one truck trip per week. The project site will include a total of nine graveled parking spaces for passenger vehicles, and a graveled area surrounding the developed footprint, which will also serve as a staging area for equipment that is awaiting repair or parts; however, any outdoor storage will be required to be adequately screened from view. No goods will be manufactured or sold on-site. The balance of the property will remain in production agriculture. Stormwater will be required to be maintained on-site and is currently proposed to be handled via overland drainage. No construction is proposed; however, building permits may be required for any change of occupancy of the existing structures. The site is served by a private well and septic system. Access to County-maintained West Harding Road is provided via an existing 16-foot-wide asphalt driveway.
