Document Description
Hearing to consider a request by Aron Kardashian (Buckeye Processing) for an Amendment (AMEND2024-00002) to previously approved Conditional Use Permits (DRC2004-00046 and DRC2016-00040) to expand the project area of an existing recycling sorting and recovery facility to include a 3.25-acre outdoor storage yard on the adjacent property to the south and to authorize grading of approximately 4.75 acres. The additional storage area will be used for equipment storage; other uses and operational components of the existing facility and use permit will remain unchanged. The project will result in disturbance of approximately 4.75 acres on an approximately 5-acre parcel. The project site is located at 6625 Benton Road, approximately 2 miles north of the City of Paso Robles. The project is located within the Salinas River Sub-Area of the North County Planning Area.

Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is an expansion of the existing facility located immediately to the north, does not introduce any permanent structures, and is served by a roadway network that is adequate to serve the project. No additional daily trips to the facility are expected as the storage facility will store additional materials that are within the same scope as the previously permitted facility to the north. The hours of operation and processing capabilities of the existing facility will not be changing. The site is located within the Commercial Services land use designation, within the Salinas River Sub-area of the North County Planning area and is subject to the applicable sub-area standards outlined in County Code Section 22.94.080. This project, as proposed, meets all applicable community standards for development. The location is surrounded by parcels within the Commercial Services and Residential Rural land use designations, and the project is part of an existing facility on the contiguous parcel to the north, demonstrating continuity with the existing and surrounding land uses. Given the presence of development on four sides, the land has been functionally removed from agricultural production.
