El Camino Project

A private company, Lone Oak – Rancho LLC, is proposing to expand an existing beverage distribution facility. Existing buildings currently occupy the southern and northern portions of the site (approx. 17.9 acres) while the central portion (a former vineyard) occupies 12.2 acres of the site. The southern portion is developed with a beverage distribution facility and two office buildings. The northern portion of the site contains an existing 62,210-square foot warehouse on approximately 3 acres. The Project applicant is proposing to demolish up to 237,895 square feet of existing buildings and construct up to 1,054,541 square feet of new manufacturing, light industrial, and office uses on the Project site across two phases of construction. Building heights will range from 34 to 131 feet and the Project will have a solar energy/battery storage system and a cogeneration system to help reduce energy consumption. Also included is a 4-story parking structure totaling 335,475 square feet and a new water well. The proposed Project includes two different development options. Phase 1, which includes the retention of one of the existing office buildings and the construction of a new Production Center (PC), Distribution Center (DC), an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and the parking structure, plus Phase 2A results in 783,741 net square feet of building area of non-residential uses (Industrial and Office), not including the new parking structure which does not generate vehicular trips or house employees. In contrast, Phase 1 plus Phase 2B results in 761,616 square feet of building area, or 22,125 less square feet than Phase 1 plus Phase 2A. The difference between the two options is that Phase 2A would reuse the existing 62,210 square-foot warehouse building while Phase 2B would demolish the existing warehouse building and construct a new 40,085 square foot light industrial building. Phase 1 also includes the construction of infrastructure, site improvements, and Project vehicle access.
