The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has changed their reason for denying the review of a distribution project at San Bernardino International Airport. The amended opinion also deletes a concurring opinion that criticized the minority opinion. The minority opinion had alleged the project’s approval “reeked of environmental racism.”
The project would add a 685,500-square foot sorting, distribution and office building with 101 dock doors and 20 air cargo container doors, two 25,000-square foot maintenance buildings and 2,000 parking spots, according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) documents.
It would generate 24 daily take-offs and landings, 192 daily roundtrip truck trips, and 3,846 daily passenger-car trips in its first year
