"Oakley Community Development Director Ken Strelo said a data center was among the several proposed uses "that could occur" at the project site. "So, I want to be clear. I know there's a flyer going around. It said, 'stop the AI center next to Vintage Parkway' or something like that. They're not proposing a data center next to Vintage Parkway," said Strelo."
"The proposed project would be on 164 acres in Northwest Oakley, with single-family residences nearby. The BNSF railroad corridor bifurcates the site, creating a 87.5-acre development area on the northern side and a 76.4-acre development area on the southern side. According to a staff report, the entire area will be rezoned as a planned unit development with potential uses such as general warehousing, parcel hub, automated sorting center, distribution and logistics facility, general manufacturing, office, industrial battery storage, data center, and more."
The Oakley Planning Commission approved the Bridgehead Industrial project by a 3-2 vote, stipulating that data centers on the site require a conditional use permit. The proposed development covers 164 acres in Northwest Oakley, divided by the BNSF railroad into 87.5-acre northern and 76.4-acre southern development areas, adjacent to single-family residences. The planned unit development zoning would allow uses including warehousing, parcel hubs, automated sorting, distribution and logistics, manufacturing, offices, industrial battery storage, and data centers. Residents raised concerns about noise, air pollution, impacts on Big Break Regional Shoreline, and strain on infrastructure. City officials noted prospective tenants are not yet identified.
