Planning Commission Meeting 09.03.26

The San Bernardino County Planning Commission held a meeting on September 3, 2026, primarily to review and approve a conditional use permit for a new retail center project proposed by ATSP LLC in the Bloomington community. The project involves constructing a 54,460 square foot retail center with up to eight tenant spaces, 120 parking spaces, and associated site improvements including demolition of existing structures and installation of a security fence. Staff presented the project as consistent with county policies and development codes, with a mitigated negative declaration addressing environmental impacts. A key discussion point involved traffic and parking management along Taylor Avenue, an unimproved road with existing safety concerns due to on-street parking. The commission added a condition requiring the road commissioner to evaluate and potentially impose parking restrictions such as red curbing along the project frontage prior to occupancy. The motion to approve the project with this added condition passed unanimously. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed.
