Master Plan Modification (00927693-PMPC) for Wal-Mart Expansion in Von Karman Plaza.

The City of Irvine has authorized a master plan modification for a 4,454-square-foot expansion to the existing Walmart store located in Von Karman Plaza, increasing the total facility size to 122,234 square feet. The expansion is designated exclusively for the storage, staging, and dispensing of online retail merchandise prepared for customer pickup, supporting the growing demand for curbside and online order fulfillment. Additional infrastructure upgrades include the installation of 19 new pick-up parking stalls, one of which is accessible, along with associated curbs, ramps, sidewalks, a dedicated trash enclosure, and landscape enhancements within the parking area and along the site boundaries. The modification is being pursued by Walmart, with Kristen Dinger listed as the project applicant, and Hernan DeSantos, Senior Planner at the City of Irvine, serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory and planning matters. The project is formally documented under Master Plan Modification number 00927693-PMPC, posted on June 30, 2025, as a forecast listing within the California Environmental Quality Act system.
