General Plan Amendment and Rezone Application No. PLN2024-0100 – Gallo Glass Company

General Plan Amendment and Rezone Application No. PLN2024-0100 – Gallo Glass Company

Project Description: Request to amend the General Plan designation of two parcels totaling 0.64± acres from Industrial Transition to Industrial and the zoning designation from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Planned Development (P-D), and to modify the development plan of P-D (373) to allow for development of a stormwater drainage basin to serve the future outdoor glass storage facility. P-D (373) was approved by the Board of Supervisors under General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Rezone (REZ) No. PLN2023-0166 – Gallo Glass Company on August 20, 2024 A detailed description of the approved GPA and REZ No. PLN2023-0166 is provided in the August 20, 2024 Board of Supervisors Report, which is available online at: https://www.stancounty.com/bos/agenda/2024/20240820/PH03.pdf. GPA and REZ No. PLN2023-0166 was approved to allow for the development of outdoor glass palletized storage, and the option to develop a 150,000± square-foot warehouse, on 24 contiguous parcels which adjoin the proposed project site to the west. The approved project included an on-site stormwater drainage basin which has not yet been developed. This 2024 GPA and REZ application has been submitted to add two additional parcels (identified as Assessor Parcel Number 035-011-002 and 035-011-003) to the storage facility footprint in order to allow reorientation and shifting of the approved basin site eastward in order to better accommodate circulation of truck traffic accessing the outdoor glass storage and future warehouse building of the approved project. No new construction, or modifications to the vehicle trips, employee numbers, or activities are proposed with this request. PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR GPA REZ PLN2023-0166 This is a request to amend the General Plan designation of 24 parcels (15.66± acres) from Industrial Transition to Industrial and zoning designation from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Planned Development (P-D) to allow for the expansion of outdoor storage associated with the adjacent Gallo Glass Company facility (Gallo). The project proposes to pave the project site and utilize the entirety of the property for outdoor storage of bulk palletized, shrink-wrapped glass containers, stacked up to four pallets high. No construction is proposed initially; however, the project includes the potential construction of a 150,000± square-foot warehouse building, up to 75-feet in height, to accommodate the growth of the Gallo Glass Company if and when additional indoor storage is required in lieu of outdoor storage at a future date. No signage is proposed; however, freestanding lighting up to 35-feet tall is proposed within the project site. Mirroring existing operations at the Gallo campus to the south and west, the project site’s hours of operations will be 24-hours per-day, seven days a week, year-round. Due to the site usage proposed as exclusively storage, the project site will be primarily unmanned, with only one employee expected to be on-site at any given time, for maintenance, pick-ups, or deliveries of bulk, shrink-wrapped, palletized glass containers. Accordingly, at the time the proposed warehouse develops, no on-site parking is proposed as any employees that visit the site for deliveries or pick-ups will park at the existing Gallo facility to the west, which has ample parking. The project anticipates 30-60 truck trips per-day, over the course of a 24-hour period. Three limited access gates along the western, southern, and eastern property lines are proposed to be installed. The primary ingress and egress to the storage facility is proposed to be from a gated-off private portion of Tenaya Avenue, which bounds the project site to the south, and secondary accesses are proposed via South Santa Cruz Avenue and the gated-off private portion of Santa Rita Avenue. Portions of the project site perimeter are currently improved with temporary seven-foot-tall chain link fencing. The project proposes to install new six-foot-tall chain link fencing with slats and two-foot-tall barbed wire treatments around the project site boundaries, to match the existing facility to the south. Vegetative screening is proposed to be planted along the shared property lines on the north and east side of the project site. Stormwater will be maintained on-site via a proposed storm drainage basin to be located at the northeast corner of the project site. The purpose of the project is to relocate existing glass storage facilities currently taking place at 720 South Riverside Drive, Modesto, approximately 1.6 miles away from the Gallo glass manufacturing facility, and 2612 Crows Landing Road, Ceres, approximately 2.8 miles away. The existing off-site material storage at these locations will be reduced and relocated to the proposed project site in order to bring additional glass storage space closer to the main facility campus and reduce drive distances.
