Irwindale Brew Yard Specific Plan

The Irwindale Brew Yard Specific Plan is a regulatory development project by the City of Irwindale, California, aimed at transforming approximately 150.1 acres of land, including former sand and gravel quarries, into a mixed-use industrial and commercial hub. The project is divided into two primary planning areas: Planning Area 1, which allows for up to 3,000,000 square feet of industrial and business park uses, and Planning Area 2, which permits 12,000 square feet of commercial uses. The development includes the construction of buildings, loading docks, parking facilities, and associated infrastructure, with a phased build-out timeline extending from 2027 to 2031. The project is subject to comprehensive environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Draft Environmental Impact Report identifying impacts on air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation. Technical assessments have addressed health risks, noise monitoring, geotechnical hazards, and biological resources, while confirming that mining on the site is economically infeasible. Infrastructure planning includes a preliminary hydrology and low impact development plan, a sanitary sewer capacity study, and a water supply assessment confirming reliability through the City of Azusa. The plan also incorporates strict adherence to ADA compliance, tribal consultation requirements under AB52 and SB18, and fire safety standards mandated by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
