Document Description
The overall Project consists of annexation of approximately 38.63 acres to the City of Visalia, a Conditional Use Permit for approximately 27.92 acres of the area to be annexed, and a Lot Line Adjustment that would result in three lots totaling 25, 11.03 and 12.53 acres respectively being merged into two lots totaling 27.93 and 19.45 acres. The lot line adjustment would involve three parcels (APNs 122-470-003, 122-480-004, and 122-480- 008). The Project will provide approximately 108,000 square feet of office and conference room space, three classrooms with a training kitchen totaling 6,200 square feet, and approximately 35,000 square feet of warehouse space. All buildings on this portion of the site will be single-story in height. A stormwater ponding basin will be constructed along the southern boundary of the property for on-site drainage. Parking facilities surrounding the development will provide 388 parking stalls, including 17 accessible spaces. Vehicular access to the site will be provided from South Mooney Boulevard/SR 63 to the west and Avenue 264/Liberty Road to the south. The primary use of this facility will be to host professional development training and workshops for District employees.
