The site is largely undeveloped with various paths and a few temporary buildings that house the Torrance Posse Equestrian facility. The majority of the site is vegetated with moderate slopes that generally slope from east to west. Historically, the Property was an out-parcel ancillary to the Torrance Oil Refinery (3700 West 190th Street). The Project site is located in the northwest portion of the City of Torrance.

The Torrance Industrial Exchange Project was recently approved immediately northwest of the Project site, allowing for the development of a 430,000 square foot (sf) industrial/warehouse complex on a 20.7-acre site. The Project Applicant, Torrance Black Beauty, LLC (TBB) is requesting approval of the following entitlements: Conditional Use Permit for the construction and operation of the Project (as it exceeds 15,000 sf); Division of Lot to consolidate the subject parcels; and Waiver to exceed the maximum allowable height for retaining walls.

The proposed building would include 80 dock doors (19 dock doors on the northwest elevation, 61 dock doors on northeast elevation facing the Union Pacific Railroad, and two 12'x14' drive-in roll-up doors). The Project would allow for a variety of warehousing uses, manufacturing, fulfillment, cold storage (up to 10%), drayage terminal, and truck terminal/storage; consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation of Heavy Industrial.
