UP-26;3-1 Sherrill Green Waste and Landscaping Materials Storage yard

Use Permit Application UP-26;3-1 authorizes the establishment of the Sherrill Green Waste and Landscaping Materials Storage Yard, located at 22480 Highway 88, Pioneer, California. The project encompasses two parcels totaling approximately 21 acres and is designed for green waste drop-off and outdoor materials storage. The facility is permitted to operate up to seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with on-site burning allowed only between November 1st and March 31st, subject to fire suppression water service compliance. Operational requirements include specific setbacks from property lines: 50 feet for the office, 20 feet for drop-off areas, and 15 feet for material storage. All green waste received at the small drop-off site must be transferred to a larger green waste station. The project is subject to rigorous monitoring by various Amador County agencies and state entities. The Planning Department oversees operational requirements and setbacks, while the Amador County Fire Protection District and Air District monitor on-site burning and air quality compliance. Access and infrastructure are managed by Caltrans and the County Building Department, requiring the driveway to meet Highway Design Manual standards and the procurement of necessary encroachment permits. Additionally, the applicant must ensure the state drainage facility is not negatively impacted and record a right-of-way easement for legal property access. Any future ground-disturbing activity or construction will require an amendment to the use permit.
