Package Delivery Warehouse Planned Development Permit

Package Delivery Warehouse Planned Development Permit

The proposed Package Delivery Warehouse project, led by Seefried Industrial Properties, Inc., is planned for a 32-acre site at 1680 West Stowell Road in Santa Maria, California. Currently used for agriculture, the site would be developed with a 244,418-square-foot distribution facility featuring a main warehouse, office space, fleet service center, and various support structures. The project requires a Planned Development Permit, including a modification to exceed the 35-foot building height limit to 45 feet. The facility would operate 24/7, supporting last-mile delivery operations with up to 345 delivery vans and 34 line-haul trucks daily. It would include sustainable features such as solar panels, EV charging stations, and a battery energy storage system, while also addressing stormwater management and reabandonment of an old oil well on-site. Site improvements include drought-tolerant landscaping, advanced irrigation systems, and lighting for safety. Access would be provided via three driveways, with parking for nearly 1,000 vehicles, including delivery vans and semi-trucks. The project also includes utility upgrades, such as replacing an undersized sewer main, and off-site improvements like new travel lanes, sidewalks, and street lighting to support increased traffic and ensure safe circulation. Construction is planned for approximately March 2026 to July 2027 and would involve phased development
