The Sutter County Board of Supervisors has scheduled a public hearing for October 27 to consider an appeal regarding a proposed truck yard development on Garden Highway. This upcoming hearing, detailed in the board’s official agenda, will commence at 3 p.m. and will be held at the City Council Chambers, located at 1201 Civic Center Blvd. in Yuba City. This proceeding marks a critical step for a project that has drawn an appeal.
Identified within the agenda as Project U25-0019, the matter before the supervisors constitutes a request for a specific use permit. This permit, if granted, would authorize the establishment of a general truck yard. The scope of the proposed facility indicates it would be designed to accommodate a maximum of 74 trucks and trailers. In addition to vehicle parking, the project plans also include the construction of an office and a dedicated truck repair shop on the premises. The entire development is proposed to span approximately 4.88 acres. Its precise location is within the county’s agricultural district, specifically at 8220 Garden Highway. This address positions the site on the east side of Garden Highway, situated approximately 0.3 miles north of Tudor Road. The individual listed as both the applicant for the use permit and the owner of the property is Harjit Bassi.
A mitigated negative declaration has been put forth for the project, as stated in the agenda. This specific document is identified as an environmental-review document under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
However, the agenda provided does not disclose the specific reasons or grounds upon which the appeal has been filed. It also omits any pre-hearing testimony that may have been submitted, staff responses to the appeal’s points, or any prior decisions made by the board concerning Project U25-0019. Following the scheduled hearing on October 27, the ultimate outcome, including any formal vote taken by the Sutter County Board of Supervisors, will be officially confirmed. This confirmation will occur through the publication of the county’s meeting minutes or the recording of the session. These public records are the established means by which the final determinations of the board are made accessible.
