Food Share Ventura County

The City of Oxnard is facilitating the development of a new 85,845 square foot warehousing facility for Food Share Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) food bank, at 1100 East Wooley Road and 1425 Mariner Drive in Oxnard, California. The project includes a warehouse for food receiving, storage, and distribution, with an enclosed shipping and receiving yard featuring loading docks and canopies, a trash enclosure, and a dedicated bin washing and storage area. The facility will also house administrative offices, conference and meeting spaces, and a commercial kitchen for preparing meals for distribution. Landscaping and hardscaping improvements will include an employee outdoor amenity area and a fruit orchard, while 84 of the 178 proposed parking spaces will be covered by solar shade structures. The property’s lot line will be adjusted to create a 9.70-acre developed parcel and a 2.07-acre vacant parcel. The project is seeking eligibility under CEQA §21080.69, which provides a statutory exemption for nonprofit food banks operating on industrially zoned land, and has been supported by a CDFW No Effect Determination and a Notice of Exemption. The application was submitted by Tanner Shelton of Sanbell on behalf of Food Share Inc., with Daniel Houck of the City of Oxnard serving as the lead agency contact. The filing was processed through the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, with a $50 environmental filing fee paid. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included in the documentation; the process is framed as an administrative and environmental approval under local and state regulatory frameworks rather than a conventional federal procurement. The development is intended to enhance regional food distribution capacity with an emphasis on sustainability and community support.
