O'Reily Auto Parts Retail Store

O’Reilly Auto Enterprises, LLC is developing a single-story, 7,225 square foot retail auto parts store on a 1.94-acre vacant parcel located at 3919 Phelan Road in Phelan, California, within the unincorporated Phelan Piñon Hills community of San Bernardino County. The facility will operate as a retail parts and equipment store without vehicle maintenance or operations, with staffing of four to six employees across two shifts, and hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The project includes 20,577 square feet of paved area with 39 parking spaces, with vehicular access provided from Malpaso Road. Construction is scheduled to occur between March and August 2026, with site preparation beginning in early March and final architectural coatings completed by late August. The site, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 3066-221-01, is zoned for General Commercial use under the Phelan/Piñon Hills designation and lies within the San Bernardino Countywide Policy Plan. The property contains scattered Western Joshua Trees, which are protected under state law, necessitating an Incidental Take Permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, submitted on May 20, 2024, and requiring mitigation measures that prioritize in-place protection where feasible. Construction must comply with the 2018 California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and the Materials Manual, including achieving a minimum of 95% relative compaction for subgrade materials as verified through ASTM D1557 and CAL-216 testing. Environmental inspections are conducted at the site by San Bernardino County authorities, and the project is subject to compliance with state hazardous waste regulations, including proper labeling, manifesting, and disposal per RCRA codes such as D005, D007, D010, and H141. The contractor must adhere to spill containment requirements of five gallons, use only ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, and prohibit unnecessary diesel engine idling beyond five minutes. All construction activities must align with the approved site plan and environmental protection measures, with environmental assessments conducted under ASTM E1527-21 and subject to restrictions on third-party use without written authorization. The County of San Bernardino serves as the CEQA Lead Agency, and all performance, inspection, and acceptance activities occur on-site at the project location. No contract value
