Linn Parking & Storage Project (CUP #25-0015, MERG #00165, IS #25-0033)

The Linn Parking and Storage project, identified by Conditional Use Permit #25-0015, Lot Merger #00165, and Initial Study #25-0033, involves the expansion of a parking and storage facility located at 1624 Gateway Road in Calexico, California. The project will merge three contiguous parcels to create a 7.1-acre site designed to accommodate up to 140 trucks and trailers and 60 passenger vehicles. The facility will operate 24/7 with approximately eight employees and will include mini-storage units for receiving customer packages from delivery companies. The expansion aims to improve traffic circulation and site safety, with projected daily traffic of 60 trucks and 30 passenger vehicles accessing the site via Gateway Road. The project was approved on September 9, 2026, following an environmental review that resulted in a Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. Construction is scheduled to begin on June 2, 2026, with a phased timeline including demolition, site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating, concluding in late November 2026. Key requirements include compliance with Imperial County Fire Department standards, the installation of fire-rated access roads and water systems, and the submission of hazardous material management plans. The applicant is responsible for all costs related to land acquisition, infrastructure relocations, and the payment of water, sewer, benefit impact, and traffic mitigation fees prior to the issuance of building or grading permits.
