Committee approves one-year extension for truck-storage permit at 411 East Central Avenue

The City of San Bernardino Development and Environmental Review Committee on July 9 approved a one-year extension for a development permit that would allow a truck-storage facility at 411 East Central Avenue.

Chantal Chois, planner with the city’s planning division, told the committee the request — Extension of Time 25-05 for Development Permit D22-18 — covers two parcels totaling about 1.26 acres in the Industrial Light zone and that staff had determined the project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), citing guideline 15061. Staff recommended the committee adopt Resolution No. 2025-037 to approve the extension and the committee voted to adopt the resolution.

The approval sets a new expiration date of June 12, 2027, for the permit if the applicant complies with the recommended conditions of approval. Committee discussion was brief. Jerry Arlando of the Building Division asked whether the applicant had submitted a building-permit plan check; a city representative confirmed the plan check application had been filed. Arlando said the building plan-check time extension he can grant is limited by code to 180 days and asked the applicant to contact him before that period expires. Chantal Chois clarified that planning and building use separate time frames for their respective extensions.

The applicant accepted the conditions and the committee chair called for a motion. A motion to adopt Resolution No. 2025-037 was made and seconded; the committee recorded verbal approval and the motion passed. The committee did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript.

Earlier in the short session the committee approved the minutes of the June 25, 2025, meeting. The committee adjourned and scheduled its next regular meeting for July 23, 2025, at 10 a.m.
