Document Description
Central Metal is a currently operating scrap metal processing facility at 8201 Santa Fe Avenue in the unincorporated communities of Florence-Firestone and Walnut Park. The project site is 11.28-acres, which includes the eastern 4-acre portion which currently operates as a scrap metal processing facility and western 7.28-acre portion which is currently used for truck storage. The proposed project expands the operations of the scrap metal facility operations to include the western and southern portion of the project site. The volume of scrap metal processed is projected to increase from 50,000 annual tons up to 80,000 annual tons. The site is currently developed with two main structures (a 46,500 sf warehouse and a 2,379-sf office building). The site is enclosed by a solid metal fence that varies in height from 8 to 12 feet. A railroad spur runs through the site diagonally from its northwest corner to its southeast corner. Currently, the facility has authorized hours of operation Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and the proposed operations include limited operations on Saturdays from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM. The facility is expected to employ approximately 20 workers per shift, up to 2 shifts per day. The existing scrap metal facility was authorized under CUP No. 01-262 to operate on the eastern 4-acre portion of the site in September 2002 for a grant term of ten years, and the applicant is requesting the continuance of the existing facility.
