Solicitation # CUP25-007

The Double Diamond Dairy Expansion Project seeks approval to increase the size of an existing dairy operation in unincorporated Merced County, California, by expanding the herd from approximately 9,870 to about 15,430 cattle.

The project anticipates only minor increases in truck traffic associated with the higher animal count and does not require any new utilities or external support systems beyond current operations. The application is being processed under Conditional Use Permit No. CUP25-007 through the Merced County Community and Economic Development Department. Key contacts include Planner III Mark Hamilton for municipal coordination, Principal Planning Team Lead Brandi Cummings for environmental and planning support, and General Partner Mike D.
