- Title
- Rezone Application No. PLN2025-0005 – West Stanislaus Irrigation District
- Description
- This is a request to rezone a parcel, 11,250 square-foot in size, from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Planned Development (P-D), to allow for the development of a 3,583± square-foot office for the West Stanislaus Irrigation District (WSID) headquarters. While facilities for public utilities are permitted in the R-1 zoning district with a use permit, the proposed office will not meet the minimum front yard setback of 15 feet from County-maintained E and Kern Streets, as required in the R-1 zoning district. Accordingly, a rezone has been requested to establish a new zoning district that will allow a reduced front and side yard setback of five feet. The new P-D district would include development of a fourteen-space paved parking lot, which exceeds their required parking of 12 parking spaces based on a requirement of one space per 300 square feet of office space, and development of ten off-site parking spaces, which will provide seven diagonal spaces on both E St. and three tandem spaces on Kern Street. Landscaping is proposed to be installed around the perimeter of the site with landscaped storm drainage swales along the eastern and southern property lines. The proposed project also proposes to install up three free standing lighting poles, no taller than 25 feet in height within the on-site parking lot. Additional lighting will be affixed to the proposed building, which will be approximately 23 feet in height. A five-foot-wide by 4-foot-high monument sign adjacent to E Street, an eight-foot-tall masonry wall along the southern property line, and one driveway on E Street are also proposed to be developed. The existing 1,302± square-foot office will be demolished as part of the project. The hours of operation for the office are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with four office and three field employees with an average of two customers visiting the site per-day.
