Present Land Use
The Project site is located within the North Apple Valley Industrial Specific Plan (NAVISP). The entire Project site is designated as “Specific Plan” in the General Plan Land Use Map and as “SP” Specific Plan on the Town’s Zoning Map. Four of the five parcels are designated as I-SP “Specific Plan- Industrial” on the NAVISP Land Use Plan, with the southeasterly parcel (APN 0463-373-06) currently designated as C-G, “General Commercial”.
Document Description
The Project proposes three (3) industrial warehouse and distribution buildings totaling approximately 3,480,736 square feet (sf) on three parcels. Refer to Figure 3, Master Site Plan. The Project would provide approximately 548 dock doors, 3,032 automobile parking stalls and 1,565 trailer parking stalls. The Project proposes changing the current NAVISP designation of the southeasterly parcel from C-G to I-SP to align this parcel with the rest of the Project site and to best facilitate the intended use mix. Refer to Figure 4, Specific Plan Amendment Exhibit. All uses are to be conducted within enclosed structures. Outdoor storage may be permitted, if completely screened from view. The Project would include construction of the half-width plus 18-24 feet of the full street classifications of Central Road, Gustine Road and Corwin Road, as well as standard curb, gutter, and sidewalk, on the Project site frontages. A proposed tentative map would result in the abandonment of Fernandez and Somis Avenues through the site, transitioning to interior property lines, and replacing those future roadways with a 30-foot-wide public utilities easement to be dedicated to the Town. Fernandez and Somis Avenues are not designated roadways in the City’s General Plan or NAVISP; therefore, no other entitlements or approvals are required for the abandonment of these roadways. A 10’ wide sewer easement would be dedicated to the Town and would extend westerly from the terminus of Corwin Road. The Project will propose one of two off-site sewer route options to provide sewer services to the site. The primary option would be to extend the sewer line as jack and bore construction under the adjacent Apple Valley Airport runway, connecting to an existing sewer main located west of the airport. This option would require the granting of an easement from the San Bernardino County Department of Airports. A back up option would be to construct an on-site sewer lift station and provide a connection within the public right-of-way leading to an existing 15-inch sewer main located at Waalew and Camanche Roads. The proposed Project would also provide on-site sewer as well as on and off-site water, electricity, and gas infrastructure. The Project consists of the following requested approvals and land use entitlements:
• Tentative Parcel Map No. 20659 to merge parcels 0463-363-03 and -05 to form Parcel 2 and merge parcels 0463-373-04 and -06 to form Parcel 3;
• Site Plan Review 2022-003 to develop three industrial buildings totaling approximately 3.48 million square feet on a 227-acre site located at the northwest corner of Central Road and Corwin Road in the North Apple Valley Industrial Specific Plan (I-SP). (APNs: 0463-373-01, 03, 04, 05, & 06);
• Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 2023-001, to change the southeasterly parcel’s NAVISP Land Use Plan designation from C-G to I-SP;
• Development Agreement (DA) is proposed between the Project Applicant and the Town of Apple Valley to provide long-term vested right to develop industrial buildings on the Project site and to provide community benefits to the Town.
