Hoyt Event Center

Hoyt Event Center

The project site consists of approximately 3.6 acres within a 16-acre parcel, located at 5197 Eucalyptus Avenue. Existing uses on the site include a barn, single-family residence, and ancillary structures, all of which will remain. The proposed project involves repurposing the existing 72-foot by 64-foot barn into a private event center on approximately 1.9 acres. An adjacent area of approximately 1.7 acres will be used for event parking. No new structures are proposed for the project. Physical improvements include grading and paving 1.7 acres to develop a driveway and an event parking lot to accommodate 60 spaces, including two ADA-compliant spaces. Additionally, the Merced County Department of Public Works Road Division requires the proposed project to dedicate a 10-foot right-of-way along the Eucalyptus Avenue and Buhach Road frontages of the property (Gerardo Elias, Engineering Associate, Department of Public Works, March 11, 2021), although no improvements are currently proposed within that right-of-way.
