Hesperia Big Box Retail Project

The City of Hesperia is advancing a mixed-use commercial development project on a 16.7-acre parcel north of Amargosa Road and an adjacent 8.67-acre parcel to the south, collectively encompassing a 167,664-square-foot big box retail center with 683 parking spaces and a fuel station featuring 14 pumps and 28 fueling positions, an ancillary 205-square-foot office building, and a 2,623-square-foot automated carwash. The northern parcel, designated for the retail center, will have two access points along Amargosa Road and a single emergency-only access road connecting to Cataba Road, while the southern parcel will be accessed via two driveways on Amargosa Road and one on Key Pointe Drive. The project requires discretionary approval through a Conditional Use Permit and a Lot Merger to consolidate the affected parcels. Site preparation involves complete removal of existing vegetation and extensive grading to accommodate infrastructure. Environmental compliance is governed by California state regulations including 23 CCR 16 and CCR 66262.34 for hazardous waste handling and secondary containment, ASTM D1557 for soil compaction, and HSC 6.67 for hazardous material labeling, with inspections conducted by the San Bernardino County Fire Department under UST, HMRRP, and HW programs. Geotechnical standards such as ASCE 7-16 and the 2022 California Building Code guide foundation design, while the project site falls within the 92345 ZIP code in Hesperia, California. Contractual details regarding pricing, period of performance, payment terms, acquisition clauses, or federal procurement representations are not present; the project documentation reflects municipal land use planning and environmental compliance rather than a formal federal contract with FAR-based terms. Public comments on the Environmental Impact Report are accepted through the City’s Senior Planner and key project contacts include Edgar Gonzalez and design consultants from Kimley-Horn.
