I don't see a need for a new business park located outside of the current city boundaries. Adding-up the land currently in the City suitable for research and high tech businesses, the City probably has a total of 150 to 200 acres. Davis should encourage light, clean, and safe industry to locate in these areas.
Several examples follow.
First, I support development of the business park land that is currently zoned for research and light industry in Mace Ranch. However, it seems a shame, and a waste, for a property that is located so close to Downtown and the campus, to cover so many acres with storage lockers. Third, the Hunt-Wesson site is also zoned industrial. This site is in the City and is an ideal location for research businesses and light industry. Rail access makes the Hunt-Wesson site ideal for light manufacturing and high tech manufacturing that may not be able to locate in other areas of the city.
