DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) -- A new warehouse could be coming to Desert Hot Springs, despite some residents concerns. 

Desert Hot Springs Planning Commission unanimously approved the 'Snider Logistic Center' development permit and a preparation of an environmental impact report Tuesday evening.

City documents say the proposed project would consist of a 1,002,109-square-foot, two-story industrial building on an approximately 64.58-acre site located on Calle de los Romos, off 19th Ave.
