DHS Varner Road Specific Plan / Logistics Center (formerly Desert Land Ventures)
Description
A package of entitlements — specific plan amendment renaming the project, general plan amendment deleting Mahalo Road, a four-parcel tract map, design review, EIR addendum, and ordinance amendment — for a 1,160,989-square-foot warehouse with 28,800 square feet of office space on 83.3 acres. Recommended unanimously to the City Council.
Impact summary
Could bring 500-800 jobs with a committed logistics tenant and construction possibly finished by December 2027, but adds heavy truck traffic near the I-10/Palm Drive interchange.
