Needles OHMV Staging Area Project

The Needles OHMV Staging Area Project, managed by the City of Needles in California, involves the development of a public Off-Highway Motor Vehicle staging area on a city-owned parcel identified as APN 0185-233-60, located adjacent to the Needles Rodeo Grounds. The primary objective is to support the existing OHMV route network by providing organized parking, sanitation facilities, and visitor information. The scope of work includes the construction of a paved parking area with ADA-accessible spaces, the installation of a prefabricated restroom, international kiosks, signage, fencing, and landscaping. Additionally, the project encompasses drainage improvements and the establishment of necessary utility connections. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is located in Needles, San Bernardino County, California. It has been granted categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 and 15332, as the development is situated on a previously disturbed urban site. Administrative filings include a county documentary handling fee of 50 dollars. The primary point of contact for the project is Irene Romero, the City Planner.
