La Habra planning commission approves modification to allow direct truck access at 1111 S. Harbor Blvd.; vote 4-0
The Planning Commission of the City of La Habra voted to approve a modification to the Planned Commercial Industrial Precise Plan to allow direct truck access to 1111 South Harbor Boulevard, adopting a resolution and finding the amendment exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1 (existing facilities).

Vice Chair Mahecha made the motion to approve “a resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of La Habra, California approving modification 24-5 to amend Planned Commercial Industrial Precise Plan 10-1 to allow for direct truck access to 1111 South Harbor Boulevard as per the approved plans and subject to conditions and making the determination that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1.” Commissioner Cardenas seconded the motion; the motion passed, 4‑0.

Brandon Wolfe of EPD Solutions, speaking for CVS Caremark and Rexford, said the property will continue to be used as currently configured while CVS remains on site and that the driveway modifications and truck access changes would not occur until the CVS lease terminates. Wolfe said the parties coordinated with city staff and the City of Fullerton’s public works and traffic staff on conditions and timing.

City staff (Daryl, identified in the staff presentation) described parking and circulation revisions tied to the modification: a reconfiguration resulted in the loss of six stalls that were replaced elsewhere on the site; a prior parking calculation was updated from 218 to a requirement of 224 stalls and staff said the revised plan provides 224 stalls. Staff also described added landscaping (13.6 percent in parking areas versus the 7 percent requirement), maintenance of a 20‑foot frontage, added accessible stalls and a gated entry pushed back about 45 feet to create truck queuing capacity; staff said the design can accommodate queuing for up to three heavy‑vehicle wheelbases if needed.

Luis Gomez, representing Rexford Industrial, confirmed the intention to proceed with improvements and said the improvements would be completed prior to turnover after CVS vacates the site. No members of the public spoke in opposition at the hearing recorded in the transcript.

The motion passed 4‑0. The commission’s decision as recorded in the transcript is final for this action.
