Project Info

Title

Palisade Santee Commerce Center

Description

The proposed Project includes the demolition and removal of all existing on-site structures and the construction of a 300,145 square-foot industrial/warehousing building. The Project would include 290,145 square feet of warehouse space and 10,000 square feet of office space, up to 42 dock-high doors, four grade-level doors, two truck courts, 301 passenger-vehicle parking spaces, 30- and 40-foot-wide fire access lanes along the building perimeter, landscaping, and fencing along portions of the developed perimeter with automated gates at certain driveway locations. The Project would also include associated utility, stormwater treatment, and roadway improvements, such as project driveway widening, a new turn lane for eastbound traffic into the Project and frontage improvements along the northern side of N. Woodside Avenue. This building is designed to be used primarily to support warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, assembly, and/or research and development operations, and related office uses. Business operations would be conducted within the enclosed building, except for traffic movement, passenger and truck parking, the loading and unloading of trailers within designated truck courts/loading areas, and the internal and external movement of materials around the Project site via forklifts, pallet jacks, yard hostlers, and similar equipment. Truck trailers are expected to be primarily loaded and unloaded using the dock-high door positions in the north and south truck courts. The analysis in the EIR assumed that the building could be operational 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with exterior loading and parking areas illuminated at night. The Project is consistent with the site’s existing land use designation (IL-Light Industrial) and zoning (Light Industrial – IL). A Development Review Permit (DR) is required to allow for the demolition of the existing structures on site and for the development of a new industrial building greater than 50,000 square feet in floor area and associated improvements. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is proposed to increase the allowable building height from 40 feet to 50 feet.
