Plan Commission backs ADA Foods SUP with 15‑year term, delivery hours and screening conditions
Summary
Commissioners recommended a 15‑year SUP for ADA Foods at 725 East Walnut with conditions including rooftop screening, a 10‑foot landscape buffer, relocation and screening of refuse containers, and deliveries limited to daytime hours to address neighborhood concerns.
The commission voted to recommend approval of a 15‑year specific‑use provision June 8 for ADA Foods to operate a fully enclosed food‑processing and storage facility at 725 East Walnut. Staff noted the site is in an industrial area adjacent to single‑family homes and that environmental health reviewed operations during the FIT meeting and identified USDA as the primary regulator for the processing activities.
Owner Seftab Savarjan described USDA oversight, a HACCP program and how waste is refrigerated, bagged and sealed for daily removal. Commissioners and neighbors pressed on truck delivery windows, parking capacity and screening adjacent to residences; applicant agreed to delivery‑hour limits (daytime hours) and staff included rooftop screening, refuse enclosure reorientation and a landscape buffer as conditions. Outcome: conditional approval recommended by Plan Commission (motion passed unanimously at the meeting).
