Primary auto and emergency vehicle access provided at the southwest corner at the intersection of Prosperity Way and Distribution Way, with a secondary point of access at the southeast corner to Nicholas Road. Truck access to the Project site would be provided via a primary driveway on the southeast corner at Nicholas Road, with a secondary truck access to the intersection of Prosperity Way and Distribution Way. A total of 96 truck dock doors are proposed, with 48 dock doors each along the western and eastern sides of the building. Of the total building square footage, the Project would allocate 590,000 sf for warehousing/distribution and 20,000 sf for office uses (including 10,000 sf of mezzanine). As shown in Figure 3, Site Plan, the Project is proposing to redevelop the Project site with one industrial warehouse building totaling 610,000 sf (including 10,000 sf of mezzanine) and related site improvements including landscaping, parking, and infrastructure facilities.

Local access to the Project site is currently provided by Western Knolls Avenue to the west and Nicholas Road to the southeast. Dowling Fruit Orchard is now closed and was formerly a family-owned business. Various types of fruit trees that are no longer cultivated or irrigated are present on the undeveloped portion of the Project site as well as disturbed plowed fallow land between plantings. The Project site is developed with the former Dowling Fruit Orchard that includes an abandoned produce store and sheds on the northwestern corner of the site. Regional access to the Project site is provided via the SR-60 Freeway at Potrero Boulevard and the SR-60 at Western Knolls Avenue to the west.
