Sutter County planning staff are recommending approval of a land-use change for a 4.21-acre parcel at 1280 Walnut Avenue near State Highway 99.
In the April 15 Planning Commission packet, staff recommend a General Plan Amendment and rezone for Project #U24-0017 that would move the site from Estate Residential to commercial designations — from ER to COM and from ER to CM. The parcel already contains an existing 10,000-square-foot shop and lean-to, and the staff report says the change would allow future commercial or industrial use if the county ultimately approves it.
The packet identifies Pardeep Singh as the applicant for the Walnut Avenue request. It also says the proposal is paired with a proposed mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program, and that future development would still be subject to design review and other conditions outlined in the staff report.
The April 15 agenda summary lists the Singh proposal as one of three public hearings before the Planning Commission, alongside requests involving Pass Road and Stewart Road. The agenda summary does not show whether commissioners acted on the item at the meeting, and the provided material does not include any Board of Supervisors decision on the proposal.
If the recommendation moves forward, it would open the door to reuse of a long-held parcel on the edge of Yuba City in an area that already has trucking- and shop-related history, according to the staff report.
