COUNCIL GOALS:
• To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
On March 26, 2019, the City Council approved Ordinance Nos. 1800, 1801, and 1802 approving Specific Plan Amendment No. 11-003, along with certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (State Clearing House No. 2012071058) for the West Valley Logistic Specific Plan Project and included approvals for General Plan Amendment No. 11-026 and Zone Change No. 11-016 to redesignate the land use designation of the site to Light Industrial, Development Agreement No. 11-002, and Tentative Parcel Map No. 19156 (TPM No. 13-005) to subdivide the site into nine (9) parcels for the development of the Specific Plan that anticipated the development of seven (7) industrial commerce center buildings.
On August 16, 2022, the Planning Commission approved Master Case No. 21-072, Revision to Tentative Parcel Map No. 19156 (TPM No. 13-005 R1) and Design Review No. 21-027 and adopted Resolution No. PC 2022-034. To adhere to the conditions of approval, the developer has dedicated public right-of-way to the City for the widening of Locust Avenue and Armstrong Road to the width required by the General Plan and will relocate the electrical facilities to be outside the roadway at no cost to the City.
On January 13, 2026, the City Council approved a Joint Use Agreement with Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to maintain their existing prior rights for relocated electrical facilities in their new locations on Locust Avenue and Armstrong Road. These facilities include overhead transmission lines that carry more than 36 kV power and therefore are not required to be placed underground. Two (2) of the relocated power poles on Armstrong Road required additional anchoring due to the change in direction of the overhead power lines. To effectively support the two power poles, the guy anchors are required to be placed outside of the right-of-way of Armstrong Road and on City-owned property to the west. SCE is therefore requesting an easement for each guy wire location to be able to install and maintain the anchors on City Property.
