Document Description
Project Description: The Project includes two sites:
1. Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan
The Specific Plan Area is 213 acres and is separated into two planning areas: Planning Area A and Planning Area B. Planning Area A is approximately 141.4 acres and, due to delays in the Project, has a currently proposed opening year of 2026. Planning Area B includes approximately 71.6 acres and a proposed buildout year of 2040. The Specific Plan allows development within Planning Area A to have a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.5 and a FAR of 0.05 within Planning Area B. The maximum development potential would be 3,235,836 square feet (SF).
Adoption of the proposed Specific Plan requires a Policy Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment. The land use designation of the Specific Plan area would change from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) and Low Density Residential (LDR) to Special Development (SD) and the zoning would change from Single Residential with 1-Acre Minimum Lot and Additional Agriculture Overlay (RS-1-AA) and Single Residential with 20,000 SF lot minimums (RS-20M) to Specific Plan (SP).
The proposed Project includes three separate components that will require permits and approvals (“entitlements”):
1) Bloomington Business Park Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”), which is a land-use guiding document for the development of industrial and business park uses for the necessary on- and off-site and infrastructure to serve these uses. The approximately 213-acre Specific Plan Area is divided into two planning areas: the approximately 141.4-acre Planning Area A and the approximately 71.6-acre Planning Area B;
2) Opening Year Development within the Specific Plan’s Planning Area A (“Opening Year development of Planning Area A”); and
3) Rezoning a residential site (“Upzone Site”) to a higher density in compliance with the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (Senate Bill 330) to offset the rezoning of the Specific Plan Area from residential to a non-residential use.
