A Site Plan Control application for surface parking lot modifications to accommodate a total of 147 vehicle parking spaces and 316 van parking spaces on the site at 2625 Sheffield Road. The site works include a major interior renovation of the existing facility, with the existing footprint of 33,472 m2 being reduced to 28,864 m2.
The proposed use for the site is a new logistics Delivery Station which fulfills customer orders. The tenant specializes in “last mile” delivery of customer orders. Packages are shipped to the Delivery Station from large distribution centers. Packages arrive from line haul trucks, are sorted based on postal codes, and loaded into delivery vans operated by delivery service providers or personal vehicle operators.
Delivery stations operate 24/7, with sortation activity done early in the morning when the line haul trucks arrive with customer packages. At this proposed facility, the tenant anticipates approximately five lane haul trucks delivering packages to the Delivery Station between approximately 8pm and 7am. Packages are sorted by routes and placed onto movable racks. Sorting occurs in primarily two shifts, with the first occurring between 8:00 PM and 5:00 AM and second occurring between 6:30 AM to 12:30 PM with approximately 150 associates entering and departing between those times depending on the time of year.
The design for the building consists of four interior components, an office, a receiving and sorting area, a delivery van staging, and a delivery van loading area. The first shift of delivery drivers arrives at the delivery station at approximately 6:30 AM. Delivery vans will queue in the interior van staging area until they are ready to be loaded. Once they reach the loading area, delivery drivers load their delivery van and depart to deliver packages directly to customers. Each delivery wave takes about 30 minutes to load and depart. As a wave of vans prepare to depart, a new wave of vans queue and prepare for loading. The last wave of delivery drivers departs the site around 1:00PM.
