Planning Commission, Oct. 6
A continued public hearing covered the CRP IV Valley Center, LLC project at 184 S. 6th Avenue and 14436 Valley Boulevard: a proposed 140,720-square-foot tilt-up concrete industrial building, described as 130,720 square feet of warehouse and 10,000 square feet of office on 6.47 acres. The commission was asked to consider recommending that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve General Plan Amendment No. 24-03, Zoning Code Amendment No. 24-09 and Development Plan No. 24-01.
The proposal includes annexing the 1.88-acre parcel at 14436 Valley Boulevard from unincorporated Los Angeles County into the City of Industry, which would require approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission of Los Angeles County (LAFCO).
