Use Permit Application No. PLN2022-0097 – Pernsteiner and Sons Fabrication, Inc

Request to permit an agricultural equipment repair business operating on a 19.40± acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. The equipment repair business will utilize an existing 6,600 square-foot agricultural storage building to make repairs to equipment consisting of a mix of agricultural equipment including tractors, mowers, discs, spreaders, shakers, pickers, and elevators. The facility welds and fabricates parts as needed. 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 Counties. The 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 (either picking up or dropping off equipment), one truck trip for the delivery of supplies per-week, and one truck trip for gas delivery every other 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. 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 will be required for multiple unrelated accessory structures constructed without a permit and the tenant improvements to the 6,600 square-foot building that were completed without a building permit. The project is also improved with a 2,624± square-foot single-family dwelling, and multiple barns and accessory 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.
