After making quick work of routine requests for time extensions for a site plan review and conditional use permit, the Yucca Valley Planning Commission heard progress reports on the status of various projects around the town. Today, managing editor Tami Roleff gives the low-down on the commercial updates. Tomorrow, updates on housing projects in the town. And in part 3, highway and roads updates…
The “lake” at Hawks Landing Golf Course has been completed and the developer expects to start filling it with water next week. It’s expected the course will be ready for play either in late fall or early winter. Grading has started on the Marshall’s and Petco stores in front of Home Depot, and the stores should be open the first of July. When Panda Express and Taco Bell open, on the southeast corner of Highway 62 and Avalon, the old Taco Bell will close. The opening of Tractor Supply in the old Wal-Mart building was delayed due additional fire protection requirements imposed by County Fire. Additional temporary parking will be added to the Warren Vista Center. Work is expected to begin soon for the new Ross store. The remodeling of the Starbucks is complete and it should re-open today. The owners of the former Chilly Willie’s restaurant have received a permit to add another restroom, as part of the health department requirements for them to seek a liquor license. Tomorrow, we’ll hear updates on housing projects in Yucca Valley.
