Board approves conditional‑use permit for vermafiltration system at Corona Avenue dairy
Summary
The board approved Conditional Use Permit 25‑10 to install a vermafiltration (worm‑bed) wastewater treatment system at an existing dairy at 6740 Corona Avenue; planners said the system removes 60–90% of nitrogen before discharge to croplands.
Chuck Kenny of the Community Development Agency reported the planning commission approved Conditional Use Permit 25‑10, which would allow a vermafiltration system at an existing dairy located at 6740 Corona Avenue (near Kings River Bursts Park). He explained that a vermafiltration system uses worm beds to filter wastewater and can remove between 60% and 90% of nitrogen before the water is reused on cropland.
Kenny told the board the planning commission received no negative public comments at its hearing and recommended approval. Board members had no substantive objections; the board moved, seconded and approved the planning commission’s action to grant the conditional use permit.
The decision allows the dairy to proceed with design and permits required by other agencies; staff will continue coordination and ensure compliance with any environmental or operational conditions attached to the permit.
