Move your Adelanto Conditional Use Permit project forward with professional project management, zoning research, application preparation, and City coordination.
Whether you’re evaluating a property, planning a commercial or industrial development, or responding to Planning Department comments, Strom Permit helps manage the entitlement process from due diligence through discretionary review.

A Conditional Use Permit in Adelanto may involve zoning research, development plans, environmental review, technical studies, and discretionary approval.
The City regulates CUPs under Municipal Code Chapter 17.130, which establishes standard and Minor Conditional Use Permit procedures.
Standard CUPs generally require Planning Commission approval, while Minor CUPs are reviewed by the Planning Director.
Strom Permit coordinates application documents, consultants, City comments, revisions, and hearing preparation.
Our focus is identifying potential approval concerns early and keeping the project organized.
An Adelanto property may appear suitable for a warehouse, manufacturing facility, retail business, medical office, school, or commercial operation while still requiring discretionary approval.
The City’s Title 17 Zoning Ordinance determines which uses are permitted, conditionally allowed, or subject to additional regulations.
Strom Permit can review:
Early due diligence helps identify restrictions before substantial money is committed to a lease, purchase, architectural design, or improvements.


An Adelanto CUP must demonstrate that the proposed use is suitable for its location and compatible with surrounding development.
Under Section 17.130.050, approval findings address General Plan consistency, neighboring uses, site adequacy, zoning compliance, and the intent of the Zoning Code.
Depending on the project, Strom Permit may evaluate:
Adelanto includes Business Park, Light Manufacturing, Manufacturing/Industrial, Airport Development District, and Desert Living zoning areas.
Properties near airport-related districts may require additional land use compatibility review.
Undeveloped desert parcels can also present infrastructure, grading, drainage, and biological resource considerations.
Understanding these requirements early can reduce unnecessary revisions.
An Adelanto CUP may involve property owners, architects, engineers, environmental consultants, Development Services staff, and the Planning Commission.
Strom Permit coordinates application preparation, supporting plans, consultant communication, City comments, environmental requirements, and hearing preparation.
Adelanto uses a Comprehensive Application for Development Review and Land Use Approval covering CUPs, Minor CUPs, Location and Development Plans, Variances, and other entitlements.
The City also offers online application submissions.
Certain projects require separate coordination with San Bernardino County Fire for plan review.
We help track application completeness, outstanding comments, revisions, and conditions of approval.


We manage standard and Minor CUP projects from zoning research and feasibility assessment through application preparation, City review, hearing coordination, and post-decision follow-up.

We review zoning classifications, permitted uses, General Plan policies, Airport Park regulations, and development standards.
This helps identify the appropriate entitlement pathway before major project expenses.

Before purchasing, leasing, or developing an Adelanto property, we investigate zoning, previous approvals, utility availability, existing entitlements, and potential land use restrictions.
Early research helps identify concerns before financial commitments.

Existing zoning, building, land use, or operational violations can complicate an entitlement.
We help identify outstanding concerns, coordinate with appropriate professionals, and organize practical compliance steps.

A discretionary Adelanto project requires consideration under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Depending on the proposal, an exemption may apply or environmental studies and documentation may be necessary.
We coordinate environmental consultants, City comments, documentation, and project revisions.

Adelanto distinguishes between standard CUPs and Minor Conditional Use Permits (CUPm).
Standard CUP: Requires Planning Commission consideration at a public hearing under Section 17.130.030.
Minor CUP: Generally receives administrative review by the Planning Director or designee.
The Zoning Code directs the Planning Director to issue a Minor CUP decision letter within 30 days after receiving a complete application.
This is an administrative decision period, not a guarantee covering environmental review, application preparation, or related approvals.
Planning Commission CUP decisions may be appealed to the City Council. Planning Director decisions may be appealed to the Planning Commission.
Adelanto’s commercial and industrial opportunities often involve large parcels, manufacturing operations, warehousing, and transportation-related uses.
The City’s Airport Development District and Airport Park Overlay introduce location-specific considerations for applicable properties.
Projects may require evaluation of airport compatibility, truck circulation, outdoor storage, access, and operational impacts.
The Adelanto North 2035 Comprehensive Sustainable Plan also addresses infrastructure, land use, environmental resources, and industrial development.
Strom Permit helps review applicable planning requirements alongside the property’s zoning and development proposal.

Medical offices, clinics, treatment facilities, laboratories, and healthcare projects requiring discretionary land use approval.

Restaurants, retail businesses, professional offices, automotive-related uses, and commercial operations requiring zoning or CUP review.
Hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, recreational facilities, and event businesses where parking, noise, or operating hours may affect approval.
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, logistics operations, and industrial projects requiring discretionary review.
Churches, schools, childcare facilities, training centers, educational businesses, and institutional projects requiring zoning approval.

An Adelanto CUP involves more than submitting an application.

Commercial and industrial properties may also require a Location and Development Plan.
Airport-related restrictions, infrastructure availability, and environmental conditions can influence project feasibility.
