Overview
- The City Council voted 4–1 to rezone 164 acres of aging vineyards for an industrial and logistics campus near Big Break Regional Shoreline, removing data centers from the approval after hours of testimony.
- The Environmental Impact Report identifies three significant, unavoidable effects: loss of prime farmland, conflicts with regional air quality plans, and increased air pollution.
- Developers say tenants are not yet identified; reporting describes a buildout exceeding 7 million square feet with warehouses, logistics facilities and potential battery storage.
- City staff project about 3,500 permanent jobs at buildout plus thousands of construction jobs, drawing strong support from union representatives seeking local work.
- Residents and the lone dissenting councilmember warned of harms to the Delta ecosystem, truck traffic and air quality, reflecting continued opposition despite the removal of data centers.
