On September 18, 2024, the Development Review Committee accepted a Revised Conditional Use Permit CUPR24-00001 to modify the previously approved site design layout for a portion of the Hesperia Commerce Center II project (CUP19-00010) for the construction of a 2,517,413 square foot industrial warehouse building on 177.8 acres within the Commercial Industrial Business Park (CIBP) zone of the Main Street and Freeway Corridor Specific Plan located on the north side of Phelan Road, west of Caliente Road, south of Yucca Terrace Drive and east of the power line utility corridor in conjunction with the adoption of an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Hesperia Commerce Center II project.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
As part of the infrastructure associated with Hesperia Commerce Center II, it was required to install water, storm facilities, asphalt and concrete paving, and sewer lines. The construction of a sewer lift station at the southwest corner of Yucca Terrace Drive and US-395 was required infrastructure as part of this development. Grant Deed for Yucca Terrace Sewer Lift Station (at the location of the lift station) is required to be accepted for the City to obtain ownership of the underlying land for this infrastructure.
In addition, the construction of a traffic signal at Phelan Road and Caliente Road. The public improvements have been inspected, and they are found to be acceptable by the City Engineer.
This project also requires the construction of a signal at Yucca Terrace Drive and US-395. Due to delays associated with an adjacent SBCTA project, this signal will be constructed at a later date and is not included in this acceptance. Terms of this acceptance will be outlined in a separate agreement and brought to the Council at a future date.
