Council unanimously approves Prologis warehouse project with conditions to limit neighborhood impacts

The City Council voted unanimously to approve a Prologis proposal to redevelop a 10-acre industrial property into a 213,572-square-foot warehouse with 27 dock doors, trailer parking and associated site improvements. Staff presented an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addendum and conditions of approval intended to reduce grading, traffic and noise impacts; the Planning Commission previously recommended approval.

Staff said the warehouse will generate fewer daily vehicle trips than a previously approved truck terminal: an estimated 372 two-way trips per day compared with 396 for the prior terminal plan. The council and the applicant discussed truck circulation, on-site queuing, truck idling restrictions and a 14-foot concrete screen wall to provide sound attenuation for the residential areas to the north.

Prologis emphasized local jobs; two speakers from Laborers International (LiUNA) told the council the developer will hire union labor and described the project as a generator of local opportunities. Council members asked clarifying questions about 24/7 operations and added conditions in the resolution to manage truck access, idling, signage and construction and operational impacts.

A motion to approve the project came from Council Member Tavares and was seconded by Council Member Barrios; the motion passed unanimously. Staff noted the project is designed to be configured for two tenants and is expected to employ 150–200 people when operational.

Next steps: Project permits will be finalized under the conditions set by the council; staff will monitor compliance with truck idling and noise mitigation conditions and manage community follow-up if complaints arise.
