Southwest Corner of 5th Street and Central Avenue Warehouse Project

The City of Highland has approved a three-year extension of the Conditional Use Permit for a 49,665-square-foot warehouse building and related site improvements located at the southwest corner of 5th Street and Central Avenue on a 2.43-acre parcel. Originally permitted under CUP 23-003 with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted on September 19, 2023, the extension does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, as the City determined the original environmental analysis remains valid and sufficient. The project, which involves no changes to the approved scope, is intended to provide additional time to complete development activities without altering the previously agreed-upon conditions or environmental controls. The primary point of contact for this matter is Angela Tafolla, Senior Planner at the City of Highland, with additional coordination handled by Kevin Rice of Patriot Development Partners. The project is situated in Highland, California, with a ZIP code of 92346, and is managed under the city’s land use and planning authority. No changes to the original permit conditions, site design, or environmental mitigation requirements are anticipated as a result of the extension. The notice was posted on August 3, 2026, as a forecasted action, indicating the formal approval process for the extension has been initiated under the existing entitlement framework.
