Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Hesperia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
HOA and Maintenance Requirements for Housing Tracts
Commissioners debated whether new housing tracts should be required to form HOAs so landscaping and improvements don't deteriorate after build-out. Staff will research the current split of duties between the city and the Hesperia Recreation and Park District and report back.
Tow yard on Lilac Street (CUP 24-00013)
A tow company with an existing Rialto yard — reportedly asked by CHP to expand north — got approval to build a tow yard with a small office on 1.84 industrial acres. Conditions cap passenger vehicle storage at 30 days and require paving and screen walls.
22-lot subdivision at Oak Valley and Fuente (TT 23-0004)
A new 22-home subdivision on 4.1 acres cleared the commission unanimously, with a new cul-de-sac street, required walls, water and sewer extensions and full street improvements. Commissioners welcomed continued homebuilding despite costs.
Car wash proliferation and Phelan Road commercial project
Hesperia has been flooded with new car washes, and the council had stripped the car wash from this gas station/convenience store project in April. After hearing from the developer, the council reversed course and let the car wash back in, 4-1.
