Copart 26 Acre Project

Copart, Inc. has applied to the City of Adelanto for a Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit to establish an approximately 26.73-acre overflow vehicle storage facility. Located at the southeast corner of Koala Road and Holly Road on five parcels in San Bernardino County, the project is designed to provide temporary storage for totaled vehicles to support existing Copart operations. The scope of work includes grading, the installation of a rock ballast parking surface, drainage improvements, and the construction of an eight-foot-tall tube steel perimeter fence for security and visual buffering. Additionally, the project will feature drought-tolerant landscaping along public frontages and a single gated commercial driveway on Koala Road, with internal aisles designed for medium-duty tow trucks and emergency vehicles. No permanent buildings or structures are proposed. The facility is scheduled to operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2026 and conclude by May 2027. Environmental reviews, including an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, have been conducted to address potential impacts on biological resources, cultural resources, geology, soils, and noise levels. These reviews include specific mitigation measures such as inadvertent finds procedures and specialized surveys to ensure compliance with City of Adelanto and state environmental standards.
