Developer presents Manning Avenue retail and multifamily plan; council schedules Aug. 6 study follow-up
Summary
Bottom Line Group presented a study session on a multi‑phase Manning Avenue project that would add an 11,282‑sq ft market with dining, fuel, and future multifamily housing; developer said hiring would prioritize local residents and council agreed to return the matter to a noticed public hearing on Aug. 6.
A developer representative from Bottom Line Group presented an in‑depth study session to the Parlier City Council on July 16 for a proposed mixed retail and housing project along Manning Avenue. The Phase 1 concept would include an 11,282‑square‑foot general market with multiple food outlets and limited beer and wine sales (no hard liquor), a family‑oriented dining model and fuel sales to capture through traffic.
The developer said future phases could add retail pads, drive‑throughs and about 56 multifamily housing units in the rear of the site; success attracting larger national tenants would depend on demonstrated foot‑traffic and “rooftops” in the area. The representative emphasized safety, clean facilities and local hiring, saying corporate staff would be local hires where possible and committing to prioritize community employment.
Council members and staff asked about site planning, traffic capture on Manning Avenue, electric vehicle charging and process steps. The council agreed to place the project on the Aug. 6 agenda as a noticed public hearing so the full council can consider recommendations and public testimony. Staff indicated typical next steps would include site‑plan review, environmental checklist/analysis if required, and coordination with the community development department.
