Document Description
On August 6, 2025, the Town of Apple Valley Planning Commission approved: 1) Resolution 2025-007, to adopt the Addendum to the EIR for the Town of Apple Valley 2009 General Plan and Annexations 2008-001 and 2008-002 and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; 2) Resolution 2025-008 approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 20658 and Site Plan Review No. SPR 2022-01 O; and 3) Resolution 2025-009 approving Site Plan Review No. SPR 2022-009.The project consists of the development of two non-contiguous sites known as the "East Project site" and the "West Project site", encompassing a total of approximately 200 acres in the north part of the Town, within the North Apple Valley Industrial Specific Plan area. The two sites are collectively referred to as the "Project", as their combined potential adverse environmental impacts are evaluated in one document titled "Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Town of Apple Valley 2009 General Plan and Annexations 2008-001and 2008-002". The East site consists of approximately 152.5 acres and is bounded by Johnson Road to the north, Central Road to the east, future Kensington Street to the south, and Navajo Road to the west. The West site consists of approximately 47.7 acres and is bounded by existing industrial development to the north, Navajo Road to the east, Dachshund Avenue to the west and Los Padres Road to the south. Both sites are currently vacant and undeveloped, with evidence of both native and non-native vegetation, as well as evidence of off-highway vehicle trails. The two development sites are generally surrounded by vacant undeveloped lands. Victor Valley College Regional Public Safety Training Center is located west of the East Site. An existing industrial logistics center is located immediately north of the West Site. The two sites are being considered for permits under separate Town entitlement application numbers, with the East Site as SPR 2022-010, and the West Site as SPR 2022-009. The East Site also requires a tentative parcel map (TPM No. 20658) to merge and re-subdivide its ten legal parcels into two resulting parcels. Development of three speculative warehouse buildings is proposed on the two sites, totaling approximately 3. 73 million square feet. The East Site is proposed to be developed with two buildings of 1.63 million square feet and 1.2 million square feet for a total of 2.83 million square feet. The West Site is proposed to be developed with an 896,500 square foot building. On- and off-site utilities, street dedications and improvements and other related improvements are proposed. The sites and buildings are designed to be flexible and meet the needs of a variety of potential future tenants, including a broad range of clean manufacturing and warehousing uses.
