Light industrial rezone at 5801 Bridgehead Road
Summary
Three pre-incorporation buildings on 1.36 acres can't attract business-park tenants, so owners want a Light Industrial designation matching the Oakley Logistics Center across the street. If the council agrees, a contractor facing code enforcement could operate legally.

Regular Meeting of the Oakley Planning Commission - Oct 20, 2026
A vacant 4.31-acre former contractor's yard would shift from commercial to light industrial, opening the door to warehousing, contractors' yards and light manufacturing near the Sandy Point mobile home park. Mitigation measures on noise, construction hours and equipment are attached.
City Council (Regular) - Oct 13, 2026
The council made the Bridgehead rezone official by adopting Ordinance 12-26. Fuller remains opposed after the water district presentation raised water-supply concerns.

Three existing buildings sit on land zoned for business park, forcing some tenants to operate in violation of zoning. The rezone lets them become compliant, fill empty space, and add jobs — but Fuller worried about diesel exhaust near homes.
