Dara Industrial Project (CUP22-00003)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SBR-57637-R6 to SRD Design Studio under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, authorizing activities associated with the Dara Industrial Project in Hesperia, California. The project entails the development of a 750,000-square-foot industrial facility alongside supporting infrastructure including an outdoor seating area, access road, two water retention basins, vehicle parking lots, storm drainage upgrades, and manufactured slopes to accommodate a pedestrian path. The agreement ensures compliance with environmental regulations concerning potential impacts to streambeds and aquatic habitats during construction and land modification. The project is being managed under the City of Hesperia’s zoning and planning authority, with key outreach and permitting coordination handled by senior personnel from both the city and state environmental agencies. Edgar Gonzalez, Senior Planner for the City of Hesperia, serves as the primary point of contact, while Lily Mu, Senior Environmental Scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, provides regulatory oversight. The project was forecasted in July 2026 through the CEQA Net portal, indicating its status in the environmental review and permitting process prior to full construction commencement, with all activities subject to conditions designed to mitigate ecological disruption and protect water resources.
