The Planning Commission will discuss the Building Plan Review for the “Futura Space House,” located at 57149 Farrelo Road, which includes a flying-saucer style single family residence and a similarly styled additional dwelling unit.

The Planning Commission will discuss an application to subdivide a 4.38-acre parcel into a 3.47-acre parcel with one 0.91-acre parcel on the corner of Old Woman Springs Road and Twentynine Palms Highway on the right side of the Grocery Outlet parking lot. An Environmental Assessment will be reviewed.

Finally, the Commission will discuss the construction of a new San Bernardino County Fire Station on Joshua Lane and Twentynine Palms Highway, including plans to “vacate an alleyway,” which would terminate access as a public thoroughfare.
