FAIRFIELD — The Solano County supervisors on Tuesday will consider rezoning 19.88 acres near the intersection of Pedrick and Tremont roads, north of Dixon, for a green waste chipping and grinding operation – coupled with a soil blending operation.
The Planning Commission on March 2 approved the use permit and recommended the Board of Supervisors approve the rezoning and the zoning text amendment to move the project forward.
The proposal is to rezone the property from Exclusive Agriculture, 40-acre minimum, to Commercial Service, with a text amendment that will allow recycling and compost facilities in the Commercial Services zone.
Sack Holdings, with headquarters in Woodland, made the request. The operations facility would sit on about 5.25 acres of the site.
To begin with, the facil- ity would take in about 6,000 yards of material each day, the waste coming largely from landscaping operations in the Sacramento area. Once the material is processed at that facility, it is trucked to the firm’s composting locations.
The project does allow for agricultural waste, which is the target source from Solano County when the time comes.
Sack Holdings anticipates a peak operation of 200 tons per day. The project does allow for agricultural waste.
The item is during the 2 p.m. session of the board, which meets at 9 a.m. in the first-floor chamber in the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield. A closed session is scheduled after the morning session.
Also on the agenda, in the morning, is an update on the impacts of the severe winter storms, as well as presentations on Holocaust Remembrance Day and Children’s Month.
