Yermo Road Industrial Project

The project involves the development of a 1.76 million square foot industrial warehouse and distribution complex on an 87.72-acre site located north of Yermo Road in the unincorporated community of Yermo, San Bernardino County, California. The site, currently zoned RL-10 for rural living with a 10-acre minimum, requires a General Plan Amendment to reclassify the land from RL to Limited Industrial and a concurrent Zoning Amendment to change from RL-10 to Community Industrial, along with a Conditional Use Permit to authorize the construction and operation of two large industrial buildings. Building one will span 1.15 million square feet with 176 truck loading docks, and building two will be 612,080 square feet with 98 docks, both with a maximum height of 50 feet to the top of the parapet. The project includes 866 vehicle parking stalls, extensive landscaping covering 683,180 square feet, and five stormwater retention basins totaling nearly 277,000 square feet. Access to the site will be provided through three driveways along Yermo Road, with internal drive aisles connecting buildings and parking areas. The project is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Notice of Preparation issued in November 2025 and a public comment period ending December 29, 2025. The Lead Agency is the San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department, coordinating with regional water quality, air quality, and fish and wildlife authorities to evaluate impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions, water supply, wildfire risk, and biological resources. Mitigation measures and compliance with state codes such as the California Building Code, CALGreen, and LRWQCB requirements will be essential to secure approval, though no federal contract clauses, funding streams, procurement structure, or financial terms are applicable as the project remains in the land use entitlement and environmental review phase.
