The project site measures an area of 14.38 acres and is owned by the City of Oakland. The facility will span an area of 170,765 square feet and rise to a height of 53 feet. The new development is designed with a front entrance facing west and surrounded by ample driving aisles and parking to facilitate heavy truck circulation. The proposed facility is a two-story building with approximately 6,000 square feet of administrative office space and education/observation areas.
The facility will be equipped with a material receiving area, a material recycling and recovery area with processing equipment, a bale storage area, a material shipping area, staff areas, a truck maintenance area including a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling compressor, and a dispatch area. Landscaped areas include bio-swales along the perimeter of the parking and loading areas.
