Ophir Road Warehouse Project

The Ophir Road Warehouse Project, led by the City of Oroville in Butte County, California, involves the development of four one-story concrete tilt-up warehouse buildings on a 170.21-acre site located at the intersection of Ophir Road and Baggett Palermo Road. The total development encompasses approximately 3.2 million square feet, with individual buildings ranging from 774,000 to 869,200 square feet. Each facility will feature a cross-dock layout capable of being subdivided for multiple tenants, including 76 to 86 dock doors and approximately 20,000 square feet of office space. Supporting infrastructure includes 2,152 vehicle parking spaces accessed via new driveways on Ophir Road and Baggett Palermo Road, as well as off-site roadway improvements along a segment of Ophir Road. The project has undergone an environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in an Environmental Impact Report and a Notice of Determination dated October 28, 2025, confirming that the project will not have a significant environmental effect. While the Oroville Planning Commission approved the project on October 23, 2025, a Statement of Overriding Considerations was issued regarding unavoidable impacts related to toxic air contaminant emissions from heavy-duty truck traffic. Additionally, the southern portion of the site is designated to remain undeveloped for wetland mitigation. The project must comply with all applicable energy consumption and fuel efficiency regulations.
