The Santa Maria Planning Commission has approved one step toward the fourth phase of a massive vegetable-growing operation on the western edge of the city.
Windset Farms wants to add two new glass greenhouses totaling more than 1.3 million square feet along with an 88,000-square-foot processing and packing shed at the site on Black Road.
Commissioners approved the development agreement this week, spelling out various conditions such as allowing continued deferrals of improvements of some roadways in the area.
