Request: Approval of a use permit to allow the construction of a new light industrial building with approximately 400,500 sq. ft. of floor area which includes approximately 391,934 sq. ft. of warehouse space and 8,566 sq. ft. of office space.

Exterior building materials include tex-coat concrete tilt-up wall panels with a multi-color paint scheme and multiple score lines/reveals and glass storefronts. A lot line adjustment is also proposed to create the proposed 23.2 acre development area with a 21.9 acre property to the east resulting from the lot reconfiguration.
