The 12331 Paramount Rd. Joshua Tree Take Permit Project, identified by solicitation number 1927-ITP-2025-035-06, involves the development of a single-family residence on a 2.5-acre parcel located at 12331 Paramount Road, Phelan, in San Bernardino County, California. The scope of work includes the construction of a 1,891-square foot residence, a 336-square foot covered patio, a 77-square foot porch, and a 511-square foot garage, with total land grading covering 35,450 square feet. The project is centered at latitude 34.474136 and longitude -117.548465 on Assessor's Parcel Number 3098-551-24. A critical component of this project is the management of protected flora, as the development will result in the incidental take of four western Joshua trees. This action is authorized under Incidental Take Permit No. 1927-ITP-2025-035-06, issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Inland Deserts Region, ensuring compliance with the California Endangered Species Act and the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act. The project is managed by the County of San Bernardino as the lead agency, with administrative oversight provided by Planner Kumail Raza and Environmental Scientist Steven Recinos. The project adheres to CEQA requirements and the environmental filing fee mandates of Fish and Game Code section 711.4.
