Project PLAN23-00021 involves a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 83,369-square-foot, two-story building addition to the Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville, California. Located on C-2 General Commercial zoned property at 16850 Bear Valley Road, the expansion will feature a new Emergency Department on the first floor and a Medical-Surgical Department on the second floor. The project includes the installation of a rooftop helipad, service yards, and critical infrastructure such as a widened corridor for first-floor access and a new bridge for second-floor connectivity. Site development activities encompass grading, trenching, pile driving, landscaping, and the construction of roads and parking lots. The project was approved on September 3, 2025, by the City of Victorville Development Department. Environmental compliance was established through a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, including a formal mitigation reporting and monitoring plan. Additionally, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a Notice of Determination on November 19, 2025, granting incidental take authorization for three western Joshua trees under Permit No. 1927-ITP-2025-040-06. Primary points of contact for the project include City Planner Alex Jauregui and Regional Director of Construction Robert T. Escareno.
