On Tuesday, February 25th, the Torrance City
Council will consider an appeal of the Planning Commission approval of three
light industrial buildings at the old Costco
site at 2751 Skypark Drive. The proposed
project comprises a light industrial use that would generate approximately 125
to 157 daily heavy-duty truck trips within the region.
The proposal also includes 371 parking slots
for a warehouse project and 651 parking slots for a manufacturing project.
Bridge
Development Partners is the applicant. Bridge
Development Partners also wants to build a warehouse for an e-commerce company
(identity not revealed but rumored
to be an Amazon
fulfillment center) to receive goods by large trucks and distribute them using
smaller vans, a kind of “last mile” terminal operation in Upland, CA .
At the Planning
Commission, the question was asked if this project, in Torrance, was going to
include a fulfillment center. The question was not
answered.
