Lime Avenue Annexation & Quarry Commerce Center

Lime Avenue Annexation & Quarry Commerce Center

Lime Avenue Annexation The proposed Lime Avenue Annexation area is located south of Arrow Boulevard (Route), north of the BNSF Railroad right-of-way, east of Lime Avenue, and approximately 625 feet west of Tokay Avenue. The approximately 62-acre annexation area comprises Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs:) 0232-161-05, -20, -23 and -24. As part of the Lime Avenue Annexation, the City of Fontana would annex APNs 0232-161-05, -20, -23 and -24 – comprising 62 acres – into the City of Fontana to establish a more logical and cohesive City boundary. The Lime Avenue Annexation also includes a General Plan Amendment to change the General Plan Land Use Map designation for APNs 0232-161-05, -20, -23 and -24 from “Open Space (OS)” to “Light Industrial (I-L),” and a Zone Change to change the pre-zoning classification for 0232-161-05, -20, -23 and -24 from “Open Space – Resources (OS-R)” to “Light Industrial (M-1).” These parcels are currently located in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, where they have a General Plan land use designation of “General Industrial (GI)” and a zoning classification of “Regional Industrial (IR).” The intent of the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is to classify the subject property for land uses that are consistent with the area’s existing land uses and, also, with planned land uses and zoning for abutting property in the City of Fontana. Quarry Commerce Center The Quarry Commerce Center site is located approximately 300 feet south of Arrow Boulevard (Route) Route/Boulevard, north of the BNSF Railroad right-of-way, west of Tokay Avenue, and east of Lime Avenue right-of-way. The approximately 59-acre Project Site spans five (5) parcels and includes Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 0232-161-23, 0232-171-09, -12, -13, and -14. The Quarry Commerce Center involves discretionary applications filed by Logistics Property Company, LLC (Project Applicant) for the development of a 59-acre site with an industrial commerce center. The entitlements for the Quarry Commerce Center include a Design Review Project, Tentative Parcel Map, and Variance. The Design Review Project and Tentative Parcel Map for the Quarry Commerce Center would allow for the development of an industrial commerce center building with approximately 827,752 square feet of floor area, including 10,000 square feet of office space and 817,752 square feet of warehouse space. The Quarry Commerce Center would operate as a cross-dock facility with 101 dock doors on the north and south sides of the building, for a total of 202 dock doors. The building would be constructed of concrete tilt-up panels and would be painted with a mixture of dark and light grey colors with blue and tan accenting and blue glass. The building features a variable roofline and would have a maximum height of approximately 56 feet above the finished pad. The building pad would be constructed within the former mining pit area and the building would be, primarily, below the grade of surrounding public streets and minimally visible. Access to the Quarry Commerce Center Site would be accommodated via one driveway located along Tokay Avenue, and one driveway located along Lime Avenue. The driveway at Lime Avenue would be utilized by trucks and features multiple entry lanes to prevent stacking/queuing outside of the Quarry Commerce Center Site. The driveway at Tokay Avenue would be utilized by passenger and emergency vehicles only. Due to topographic constraints resulting from the Quarry Commerce Center Site’s condition as a former mining pit, a Variance is proposed to allow a reduction to the width of the landscape setback along Tokay Avenue, modification of design standards for the landscape setbacks along Tokay Avenue and Lime Avenue, and modification to the wall and fencing design standards along Tokay Avenue.
