A storage complex that will accommodate 532 recreational vehicles is now under construction on the north side of Woodward Avenue between Atherton Drive and Moffat Boulevard in south Manteca.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The 13.68-acre project, when completed, will be the largest RV and boat storage in the South County. <\/span><\/span><\/span>It will be a full-service storage facility with a 2,400-square-foot office building, vehicle cleaning station, vehicle dumping station as well as propane and air filling stations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Access to the storage facility \u2014 located across from City of Manteca fire station No. 5 and adjacent to a city water storage tank \u2014 will be from Atherton Drive <\/span><\/span><\/span>When the project was approved in 2021, it contained provisions to allow 30,000 square feet of solar arrays. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The November 2021 approval means the developer, if they determine the financial feasibility of the solar aspect makes sense, can add it without further public review. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Should it pencil out it would provide some protection for RVs from weather much like the solar arrays in various Manteca Unified school campus parking lots. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The property most recently was a truck terminal. The land had been zoned for apartments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The developer, working with the city, rezoned land they owned at the time on the southwest corner of Union Road and Atherton Drive to accommodate apartments. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The city has since approved the 300-unit Union Crossing apartment complex at the Union Road location. Developers of that project are currently seeking financing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The zoning switch netted the city zoning for more apartments than was lost by allowing the storage facility. <\/span><\/span><\/span>It was pointed out at the time that building apartments at the Woodward\/Atherton location was unlikely given it being adjacent to railroad tracks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n There are other storage facilities approved by the city but are yet to be built as developers either seek financing or are trying to time their investment with market demand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Those projects are:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
