Notice of Preparation of a Subsequent EIR / Scoping Meeting
February 23, 2023
PROJECT SUMMARY
The 40.01-acre Project site located at 11115 Hemlock Avenue,
includes Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 0237-131-25, 0237-
131-26 and 0237-131-27 within the Southwest Industrial Park
(SWIP) Specific Plan Slover Central Manufacturing/Industrial
District (SCD). The site is currently occupied by Modular Space
Corporation for light industrial uses. The proposed Project would
redevelop the site with a new warehouse totaling approximately
882,000 square feet (SF) within 2-stories. The building would be a
maximum height of 60 feet and have 114 loading docks.
Approximately 25 percent of the building square footage (220,500
SF) is analyzed for storage of refrigerated goods. The Project also
includes parking lots, landscaping, and related improvements. To
screen the loading docks and truck trailer parking areas, 14-foot-
high concrete walls would be located along the Hemlock Avenue
and Beech Avenue frontages of the Project site. Access to the site
would be from two driveways along both Hemlock Avenue and
Beech Avenue. The Project requires a Tentative Parcel Map and Design Review.
An Initial Study was prepared by the City, which indicates that the proposed Project has the potential to result in new
significant environmental effects related to: air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, transportation, tribal cultural
resources, and mandatory findings of significance. These subjects will be further evaluated in a Subsequent EIR.
