San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Meeting 9.22.26

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 22, 2026, which included extensive public commentary and deliberations primarily focused on land use and development projects, notably the Bloomington Business Park project. The board reviewed and approved a policy plan amendment and zoning changes to facilitate the development of a commercial shopping center with electric vehicle charging stations and a large warehouse and truck trailer parking facility in Bloomington. The project faced significant opposition from community members and environmental justice advocates concerned about increased truck traffic, air pollution, health impacts, displacement of housing, and environmental racism. Supporters, including labor unions, emphasized the creation of good-paying local jobs and economic benefits. The board passed motions requiring replacement housing units to be constructed prior to occupancy of the warehouses and removed data processing centers from the specific plan. Additionally, the board received updates on emergency preparedness for El Nino and discussed ongoing efforts to coordinate with local cities and agencies. Other agenda items included recognition of retiring county employees and public comments on in-home supportive services and street vending permits. The meeting reflected a complex balance between economic development, community health, environmental concerns, and housing policy compliance.
