Beaumont Summit Station Specific Plan Page 3-1
3.0 PLANNING AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
The purpose of this section is to provide land use development regulations that apply to each of the land use designations of the Specific Plan. These include standards regarding permitted uses, building height limits, parking requirements, and setbacks, as well as general provisions applicable to all uses.
These development standards should be used in conjunction with Chapter 4: Design Guidelines, which describe and illustrate building designs, concepts, and features that will promote the high-quality development that is envisioned for the Specific Plan area.
3.1 General Provisions
California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 et seq.) grants authority to cities to use Specific Plans for purposes of implementing the goals and policies of a city’s General Plan. Application of these regulations is specifically intended to provide the most appropriate use of the land, create a harmonious relationship among land uses and protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The following General Provisions apply to all development in the Specific Plan area.
3.1.1 Applicability
The Summit Station Specific Plan has been developed as both a regulatory and a land use policy document, which, upon adoption by ordinance will constitute the zoning for the property. Development plans or agreements, tract or parcel maps, site plans or any other action requiring ministerial or discretionary approval for the subject property must be consistent with the Specific Plan. California Government Code, Section 65454 requires that a Specific Plan be consistent with the General Plan. Upon adoption, actions deemed to be consistent with the Specific Plan shall be judged to be consistent with the City of Beaumont General Plan as amended.
Where conflicts exist between the standards contained in this Specific Plan and those found in the City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance or Municipal Code, the regulations and standards in this Specific Plan shall take precedence.
Any area of site development, administration, review procedures, environmental review, landscaping requirements, and regulations not expressly addressed by this Specific Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the City Zoning Code, Municipal Code or General Plan, using the context and objectives of this Specific Plan as a guide.
3.1.2 Severability
If any section, subsection sentence, clause, or phrase of this Specific Plan, or future amendments or additions hereto, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Specific Plan.
3.1.3 Definitions
The meaning and construction of words, phrases, titles, and terms shall be the same as provided in the Zoning Code unless otherwise specifically provided herein. If a word is not defined in this section or in any provision of the Zoning Code, the Community Development Director shall determine the correct definition.
Bioretention Facilities. Soil and plant-based filtration devices that remove pollutants through a variety of physical,
biological, and chemical treatment processes. These facilities normally consist of a grass buffer strip, sand bed, ponding DRAFTPage 2280 of 2513
3.0 | PLANNING AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
area, organic layer or mulch layer, planting soil, and plants, or proprietary systems such as modular wetlands.
E-Commerce. E-Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services over an electronic network, primarily the
internet. This use includes internet fulfillment centers, in which orders are received from affiliated stores or other locations, processed, and filled. The number of employees, and therefore amount of employee parking, is higher than a high cube distribution center.
High Cube Warehouse/Distribution Center. High-cube
warehouses or distribution centers are primarily for the storage and/or consolidation of manufactured goods (and to a lesser extent, raw materials) prior to their distribution to retail locations or other warehouses but may also
accommodate minor assembly as an ancillary use. These
facilities are generally very large buildings characterized by a small employment count due to a high level of automation/ mechanization and truck activities are frequently outside of the peak traffic hours.
Logistics Support. Facilities that provide support services including fueling facilities and limited commercial uses oriented to truck operators serving the Specific Plan area.
Fueling facilities may include motor fuel sales.
Mezzanine. As defined herein, a mezzanine is an elevated, occupied floor above the ground floor of a larger warehouse space used for office or other enclosed workspace uses. For purposes of this Specific Plan, mechanical mezzanine
platforms (typically relocatable, freestanding steel
structures) used for high cube/e-commerce purposes are not counted in the square footage in the land use table nor counted towards the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or
parking counts.
Warehousing with Distribution. The use of a building or buildings primarily for the interim (short-term) internal storage of goods of any type, which may include sales of goods (e.g., retail sales or wholesaling). This use is generally engaged in receipt and distribution of goods, products, supplies, etc., with incidental storage and is typically identified with a quick turnaround of such goods.
3.1.4 Determination of Unlisted Uses/Interpretation
The development standards and regulations contained in this Specific Plan shall supersede the standards contained in the Beaumont Municipal Code and Zoning Code, except where specifically provided in the Specific Plan. Whenever the provisions contained in the Specific Plan conflict with the Municipal Code or Zoning Code, the provisions of the Specific Plan shall take precedence. Any ambiguity concerning the content or application of the Specific Plan shall be resolved by the City’s Community Development Department, its Director/Manager or their designee. Such interpretations shall take into account the stated goals and intent of the Specific Plan.
If requested by the builder or if referred by the Community Development Director, the Planning Commission may review any administrative interpretation, subject to appeal to the City Council.
3.1.5 Use of Design Guidelines
Development shall be designed and built in substantial conformance with the Design Guidelines contained in this document (Refer to Section 4, Design Guidelines).
3.1.6 Subsequent Building Modification
Subsequent building modification by tenant or property owners, including additions and/or projections into setback areas permitted by the Specific Plan (subject to approval of standard City permits), DRAFTPage 2281 of 2513
3.0 | PLANNING AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Beaumont Summit Station Specific Plan Page 3-3
shall match the architectural style of the primary unit and shall be constructed of the same or complementary materials and colors as the primary unit and/or in context with the overall Design Guidelines.
Building modifications are permitted up to the amount specified below:
1. A decrease of not more than twenty percent of the minimum required setback area
2. An increase of not more than ten percent of the maximum permitted building height.
3. Any deviation in the permitted maximum height or location of a fence or wall.
4. An increase of not more than ten percent of the maximum permitted lot coverage.
5. Any deviation in the applicable development standards of not more than twenty percent to allow for improved
productivity of solar energy systems.
6. Modifications in excess of those cited in subparagraph 1 through 5 above or modifications not listed above are
permitted and shall require a Director Approval.
3.1.7 Projections into Required Setbacks
Encroachments of up to two feet into required setbacks are permitted for architectural projections such as columns, cornices, door or window frames or other decorative features and eaves, so long as emergency access is not compromised. Minor modifications of up to 15 percent to any of the development standards are specifically allowed, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.6, Minor Modifications/Substantial Conformance.
3.1.8 Height
Building height means the vertical distance from the finished grade of the lot to the highest average point of the building or structure.
Rooftop equipment may extend above the allowable height as defined in Section 3.2.3 below and will be screened from view.
3.1.9 Grading
Development within the Specific Plan area shall use grading techniques as approved by the City.
3.2 Planning Areas and Regulations
Tables 3-2 and 3-4, Permitted Uses (Planning Areas 1 and 2), show the uses that may be developed on each Planning Area in the Specific Plan area. Chapter 5, Implementation provides detail on the process for determining if uses that are not stated in Table 3-1 may be permitted.

Beaumont Summit Station Specific Plan Page 4-1
4.0 DESIGN GUIDELINES
This section explains design concepts and establishes design guidelines for development in the Specific Plan area and illustrates the landscape elements of the Project.
4.1 Purpose
The Design Guidelines within this chapter describe building designs, concepts, and features that will promote the high-quality development envisioned for the Specific Plan area. The Design Guidelines in this chapter should be used in conjunction with the development standards described in Chapter 3: Development Regulations. The guidelines provide a tool for developers, builders, architects, engineers, and landscape architects and others to use in the design of new development.
Certain key design elements will contribute significantly to the visual order and consistency of the entire Specific Plan area and provide a quality development. The Design Guidelines chapter is developed primarily around two key elements: Architecture and Landscape.
These elements define the design concept, physical character, and overall theme of the Summit Station Specific Plan.
The Architectural Design Guidelines describe the intended architectural themes and styles for buildings permitted within the Specific Plan area and are intended to provide a basis for decisions regarding the built environment. These guidelines promote a high-quality ecommerce project,
including direct guidance on architectural design and details, building mass and scale, materials and exterior colors, and articulation.
The Landscape Guidelines describe general landscaping requirements, including streetscape design, entry
treatments, signage, water quality features, walls and
fencing, and lighting. The guidelines provide direction regarding the use of plant materials that are water-wise and complement the desired architectural style.
These Design Guidelines serve to promote cohesive design and enhance the Project identity. These guidelines take a flexible approach to guidance with the intent that architectural design and quality change over time. Conceptual graphics and imagery are included as visual references but do not represent the only approach that may be taken to design within the Specific Plan area. Creative approaches are encouraged.
These Design Guidelines serve the following functions:
To provide the City of Beaumont with assurance that Summit Station will be developed in accordance with the quality and character described within this Specific Plan.
To establish design guidelines for architecture, circulation, landscape, parking, lighting, and other distinguishing
features.
To provide guidance to City staff and the Planning
Commission in the review of future implementing projects within the Specific Plan area.
To provide builders, planners, architects, landscape
architects and property owners with guidelines and
recommendations to aid in maintaining a high level of project cohesiveness while still allowing for a degree of personal expression and creativity.
To encourage sustainable design solutions that reduce energy consumption, use water efficiently, and minimize waste. DRAFTPage 2293 of 2513
4.0 | DESIGN GUIDELINES
To create simple building designs that result in efficient use of space, materials, and resources while maintaining a high level of design integrity.
Within the Design Guidelines:
“Shall” indicates a mandatory provision.
“Should” indicates a provision that is encouraged but not required.

Projects within the Specific Plan area must review and incorporate the project design features (PDFs) as written in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Specific Plan area.
4.4 Architecture
Well thought-out architectural design is one of the most important components of a successful project. It can be challenging to successfully implement traditional architectural elements into larger e-commerce and commercial buildings. The large scale and logistical requirements needed to accommodate the internal use of the building are not always conducive to highlighting detailed architectural features. However, if concentrated into strategic areas of the building’s façade such as visible corners, these details can help define a building.
The guidelines within this section are intended to promote successful architectural design, both aesthetically and functionally. Builders within the Specific Plan area should review and consider each of the following guidelines.
4.4.1 Building Orientation, Mass and Form
Building form is a defining feature of architecture. Shape, massing, scale, proportion, and articulation are all components of a building’s form. Development within the Specific Plan area should consider the following principles relating to form and massing:
The overall building form should consist of simple, geometric forms.
Building design should exhibit balance, rhythm, and
symmetry.
Rectangular forms with repeating elements at entryways and marking building corners are encouraged to promote balance and visual interest. DRAFTPage 2296 of 2513
4.0 | DESIGN GUIDELINES
Beaumont Summit Station Specific Plan Page 4-5
Arbitrary, complicated building forms and rooflines should be avoided. Varied rooflines consistent with the proposed architectural style and appropriate for the building form at various points (entries, corners) are encouraged.
The following Design Guidelines relating to building scale and orientation should be incorporated into projects within the Specific Plan area.
Buildings should be organized to provide convenient access to entrances and efficient internal circulation for vehicles and pedestrians.
A parapet or other method of screening should be
considered to keep rooftop mechanical equipment screened from public streets.
Visitor parking should be located with convenient access to publicly accessible building entries.
Buildings should be oriented so that loading areas are screened from view from streets and public areas.
4.4.2 Façade Articulation and Entries
Building entries are important components of a building façade and should be defined visually through the use of enhanced architectural design features. Development within the Specific Plan area should consider the following guidelines for building entrances:
Building forms and elevations shall be articulated in a manner that will enhance the primary building entry points and create interesting rooflines, building shapes, and
patterns of shade and shadow.
Example: Prominent corners of buildings are important to denote as primary pedestrian entrances through the application of architectural features. DRAFTPage 2297 of 2513
4.0 | DESIGN GUIDELINES
Long horizontal stretches of building façade should be broken up through a push or pull of the façade, vertical banding, a change in materials, or use of other design
elements that break up the façade into smaller components.
Articulation of the façade must be consistent with the
setbacks described in the Development Regulations section. Vertical and horizontal variation should be appropriately implemented in order to add richness and variety to the overall mass of the building.
Primary building entries shall be easily identified through the use of architectural elements, signage, landscaping, lighting, canopies, roof form, hardscape, architectural projections, columns, vertical elements, or other design features that help emphasize a building’s entry.
Building entries should be clearly accessible from the adjacent vehicular parking areas.
Provide for small seating spaces designed in concert with adjacent building entries.
4.4.3 Materials and Colors
Building materials, colors, and finishes should be high quality and complement the architectural theme and styles within the Specific Plan area. Development within the Specific Plan area should consider the following guidelines for building materials and colors:
Development within the Specific Plan area should consist of high-quality materials and finishes.
Trim or decorative accent elements should complement the architectural style and be consistent in color and material throughout a building façade.
Materials applied to any elevations shall turn the corner of the building and continue until they reach a logical
termination point in relation to architectural features or massing.

Exposed roof drains and/or downspouts, except where
integrated with the building architecture through
complementary colors and materials; and
Unscreened rooftop equipment.
4.5 Commercial Guidelines (Planning Area 2)
4.5.1 Building and Site Design
The architectural style shall consist of contemporary interpretations of traditional architectural styles. Unique or landmark architecture is permitted, especially associated with a trademarked use.
Primary building entries shall provide a prominent sense of entry for easy identification. The use of architectural projections, columns, entry lobbies or other design elements are strongly encouraged.
Commercial building façades facing Cherry Valley Boulevard should show a higher level of articulation and fenestration than the e-commerce uses within the Specific Plan area. This may include changes in building materials, color, and/or decorative accents/scoring.
For buildings with two or more entrances, the primary entrance should be clearly delineated through architectural detailing, scale, lighting, or signage.
Articulation of building planes shall be provided for commercial uses which exceed two stories. This would apply to hotel or other unique commercial uses which may exhibit elements of residential-style architecture.
First floor primary elevations must include pedestrian-scaled elements such as storefront design, overhangs, awnings, arcades, etc.
Roofs should be given design consideration and treatment consistent with the primary building and the rest of the building exteriors. Roof form and rooflines should be
continuous in design throughout a commercial development. Seating areas or plaza spaces within commercial
developments are strongly encouraged.

5.0 | ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
5.2.1 Adoption
The Summit Station Specific Plan has been prepared, submitted, and approved in a manner consistent with California Government Code Section 65451(a). The Specific Plan shall be adopted by ordinance and shall serve as the zoning for the Specific Plan area. The approved Specific Plan project site will continue to be designated on the City’s Zoning Map Specific Plan. The land use and development standards identified in this Specific Plan document supersede all zoning regulations to the extent that they would be in conflict with the sections of this Specific Plan.
5.2.2 Phasing
Construction of the Project, including recordation of final subdivision map(s), and design review may be progressively implemented in stages, provided that vehicular access, public facilities, and infrastructure are constructed to adequately service the development, or as needed for public health and safety.
The Project will be phased to:
Provide for the orderly build-out of the Commerce Center based upon market demand;
Provide adequate infrastructure to serve the Project; Phases may occur concurrently so long as the associated infrastructure is provided.
5.2.3 Financing
All backbone improvements (i.e., roadways, utilities, open space) shall be constructed with private financing.
Builders may enter into an internal, private cost-sharing agreement specifying terms of financing for construction of improvements, establishment of rights-of-way and any easements for
improvements, and establishment of the basis and terms for cost sharing and reimbursement among owners.
Portions of the Specific Plan area may be sold to other builders to develop specific aspects or portions of the Specific Plan area (e.g., the individual lots, hotel, commercial uses). Sold portions would require a partial assignment and assumption of the development agreement for new owners. All infrastructure, services, facilities, and amenities shall be the responsibility of the developer for that particular portion as determined through the Tentative Map for plot plan process. It is anticipated that these would be constructed with private financing.
5.2.4 Maintenance and Ownership
Maintenance of private parking area aisles, parking area circulation, and common landscape areas will be the responsibility of a commercial association to be formed within the Specific Plan area.
The maintenance association(s) shall be responsible for private driveways, parking, open space areas, signage, landscaping, irrigation, common areas, on-site sewers, storm drains, Best Management Practices (BMPs), and other responsibilities as necessary. Generally, facilities dedicated to public agencies will be maintained by that agency, while private facilities will be maintained by property owners or a maintenance district.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdiction. Any impacts to RWQCB- and CDFW-jurisdictional stream courses (assuming agency concurrence) within Planning Area 1 and Planning Area 3 from grading for Planning Area 1 will require Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) per RWQCB and a Streambed Alteration Agreement per CDFW, depending upon the amount of area
impacted. Such permits are required prior to grading or other activities that would impact a jurisdictional stream course. Ultimate ownership and maintenance of Planning Area 3 will be determined during environmental review and/or permit processing and may be private or dedicated to an established conservation group.
5.3 Relationship to CEQA
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) classifies a specific plan as a “project” which is subject to environmental review. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required prior to adoption of this Specific Plan to analyze potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project, discuss feasible alternatives, and recommend feasible mitigation measures in compliance with the provisions of CEQA. This EIR will analyze the entire Specific Plan and address potential impacts associated with the development of the Specific Plan area. The EIR includes recommended mitigation measures and analyzes implementing actions for the development. The EIR will fulfill the requirements for environmental documentation for most subsequent discretionary and ministerial applications for development within the Specific Plan area.
The MMRP shall ensure that the Specific Plan complies with all applicable environmental mitigation and permit requirements. The final MMRP shall be adopted with EIR certification. DRAFTPage 2323 of 2513

Beaumont Summit Station Specific Plan – General Plan Consistency Table General Plan Goal/Policy Consistency
Land Use + Community Design
Non-Residential Uses
Goal 3.4
A City that maintains and expands its
commercial, industrial, and other
employment-generating land uses.
The Specific Plan encompasses approximately 188 gross acres and allows for up to 2,707,465 square feet of mixed commercial, warehouse/e-commerce, and office uses. The Specific Plan includes approximately 30.2 acres of passive open space.
The project would facilitate development of underutilized land. The underutilized land is currently planned for residential uses. This project would maximize the underutilized land by using the site as a large format e-commerce center. This e- commerce center would consist of one or more buildings with a total e-commerce building space in excess of 2,557,465 square feet in size, responding to market demand.
Policy 3.4.6
Continue to promote the maintenance and
preservation of industrial activities and
businesses that contribute to the City’s
economic and employment base.
The project would facilitate the development of underutilized land with uses that would maximize the use of the site through mixed usage. The project would bring industrial, commercial, and open space uses. The Specific Plan would encompass approximately gross 188 acres and allows for up to 2,707,465 square feet of mixed commercial, warehouse/e-commerce, and office uses. The project also would include 30.2 acres designated for natural open space. This project would contribute to the local economy through new capital investment, creation of new employment opportunities, and expansion of the tax base.
Policy 3.4.7
Encourage the continued expansion of the
City’s industrial districts to accommodate
economic development and growth.
The project would expand the City’s industrial districts by maximizing the site’s use as an e-commerce center consisting of one or more buildings with total e- commerce building space in excess of 2,557,465 square feet in size, responding to market demand.

Policy 3.4.8
Where industrial uses are near existing and
planned residential development, require
that industrial projects be designed to limit
the impact of truck traffic, air and noise
pollution on sensitive receptors, especially
in El Barrio.
The proposed land use plan would avoid sensitive resources and place compatible land uses and facilities in an appropriate location. The project would also provide access patterns that minimize traffic conflicts. The development and operation of a large format logistics center in close proximity to the I-10 would limit truck traffic disruption to sensitive receptors within the surrounding regions.
Community Design + Public Realm
Goal 3.10
A City designed to improve the quality of
the built and natural environments to
reduce disparate health and environment
impacts.
The project would incorporate appropriate buffers with the surrounding development through the use of landscaped setbacks, 30.2 acres of dedicated open space, and expanded parkways along portions of Cherry Boulevard and Brookside Avenue. The project’s internal circulation would enable access between different land uses in the planning areas. Planning Area 1 would consist of e- commerce and office uses and Planning Area 2 would consist of commercial uses.
Private drives measuring 56 feet would be designed as Industrial Collectors and have a right-of-way of 78 feet. Cherry Valley Boulevard and Brookside Avenue would be restricted access to provide better traffic flow. This internal circulation would allow for more efficient traffic flow. The restricted access and close proximity to the 1-10 would allow for truck routes to avoid sensitive land uses and to reduce disparate health and environment impacts.
Policy 3.10.4 Designate truck routes to avoid sensitive land uses, where feasible.
The project would develop internal circulation that enables access between the different land uses in the planning areas. Planning Area 1 would consist of e- commerce uses and Planning Area 2 would consist of commercial uses.

Commercial Scenarios
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT (PLANNING AREA 2)
The commercial component of the Beaumont Summit Station specific plan is an important part of creating the energy and amenities offered by the project. To respond to the variety of commercial tenants that are interested in this planning area, the specific plan has been planned and analyzed to allow for flexibility and serve the community’s needs. As demonstrated in this appendix, a number of different development scenarios could play out as tenants commit to the project. Table 2-1 in the Development Plan Section of this specific plan identifies one development scenario for hotel, general retail, and food uses and further scenarios are demonstrated in this appendix. Within the parameters and impacts studied in the EIR, Planning Area 2 may accommodate major and minor anchor retail tenants, neighborhood retail, food uses, sit down and fast-food restaurants, hotel and all other permitted uses listed in Section 3 (Development Regulations).
Potential Future Commercial Uses
All permitted commercial uses within Planning Area 2 are listed in Table 3-4 within Section 3.
Development Options
For purposes of the environmental and traffic studies associated with the specific plan, the project was analyzed to include a 220-room hotel, 25,000 square feet of general retail, and 25,000 square feet of food uses as shown in Table 2-1. This is one potential development scenario and does not represent the range of commercial uses envisioned for the Beaumont Summit Station area. Those uses will be driven largely by market demand for what is needed within the community. In response to community feedback, the specific plan also analyzes four total commercial layout options which can be developed without need for further traffic analysis. • Scenario presented in Development Plan Section: 220-room hotel, 25,000 square feet of general retail, and 25,000 square feet of food uses.
• Scenario Option 1: A 125,000 square foot general retail anchor store and 20,500 square feet of sit-down restaurant uses (shown in Exhibit C-1).
• Scenario Option 2: A 40,000 square foot general retail anchor store, 38,000 square feet of in-line retail uses, 10,000 square feet of sit- down restaurant, and 3,000 square feet of drive-thru fast food uses (shown in Exhibit C-2). • Scenario Option 3: A 25,000 square foot general retail anchor store, 19,000 square feet of in-line retail uses, a 25,000 square foot supermarket, 15,000 square feet of sit-down restaurant, and 3,000 square feet of drive-thru fast food uses (shown in Exhibit C-3).

If this is not possible, a noise barrier shall be constructed to keep noise at or below 65 dBA to avoid adverse impacts to any least Bell’s vireo nest/s.
During the least Bell’s vireo breeding season, artificial light shall not be cast into suitable habitat.
A qualified biologist shall conduct a training session for Project personnel prior to grading in conformance with MSCHP best management practices requirements.
The training shall include a description of least Bell’s vireo and its habitats, the general provisions of the Endangered Species Act (Act) and the MSHCP, the need to adhere to the provisions of the Act and the MSHCP, the penalties associated with violating the provisions of the Act, the general measures that are being implemented to conserve the spe cies of concern as they relate to the Project, and the access routes to and Project site boundaries within which the Project activities must be accomplished.
58. MM BIO-2: A qualified biologist will conduct a pre -construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to site disturbance. If burrowing owls are documented on-site, the owls will be relocated/excluded from the site outside of the breeding season following accepted protocols, as specified in the MSHCP.
CDFW will be notified within 48-hours of detection and the take of active nests will be avoided. To avoid take of active nests, a qualified biologist will develop a Burrowing Owl Plan that describes avoidance, relocation, monitoring, minimization, and/or mitigation actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites and details on proposed buffers if avoiding the burrowing owls or information on the adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls for relocation. If no suitable habitat is available nearby for relocation, details regarding the creation and funding of artificial burrows (numbers, location, and type of burrows) and management activities for relocated owls shall also be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. The Burrow ing Owl Plan will be reviewed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority.
59. MM BIO-3: To ensure compliance with California Fish and Game Code secti on 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 and to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds vegetation clearing and ground disturbing activities shall be conducted outside of the bird nesting season. If avoidance of the nesting season is not feasible, then a qualified biologist will conduct a nesting bird survey within three days prior to any disturbance of the site, including but not limited to vegetation clearing, disking, demolition activities, and grading. If active nests are identified, the biologist shall establish sui table buffers around the nests depending on the level of activity within the buffer and species observed, and the buffer areas shall be avoided until the nests are no longer occupied, and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests.
Duri ng construction activities, the qualified biologist shall continue biological monitoring activities at a frequency recommended by the qualified biologist using their best professional judgement. If nesting birds are detected, avoidance and minimization measures may be adjusted and construction activities stopped or redirected by the qualified biologist using their best professional judgement to avoid take of nesting birds.
60. MM BIO-4: Prior to any ground-disturbing activity near jurisdictional aquatic resources, applicable permits shall be obtained through the Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW for impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources. The Applicant shall implement/comply
with all permit conditions and mitigation measures required by the resource agencies. Compensatory mitigation to offset impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources may be implemented through on-site or off-site, permittee-responsible
PM2021-0009 (TPM38223)
Draft Conditions of Approval
mitigation, in-lieu fee (ILF) program or mitigation bank credit purchase, or a combination of these options depending on availability.
The proposed compensatory mitigation strategy is as follows, for a total 3:1 mitigation ratio:
1. Purchase of 4.82 credits (2:1 mitigation ratio) from an in-watershed mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program ), as available; AND
2. An additional 1:1 mitigation via one of the following measures, dependent on negotiations with the resource agencies during the permit evaluation process:
a. On-site preservation, including enhancement and revegetation within Specific Plan Planning Area 3, with a focus on removal of invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and replanting with native species such as mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia) and other appropriate species, OR
b. Purchase of 2.41 credits (1:1 mitigatio n ratio) from an in-watershed mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program), as available.
The Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW will make final determinations regarding compensatory mitigation requirements during the permit evaluation process. If mitigation credits are not available at the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program, purchase of credits at an alternative mitigation bank will be pursued in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
Additionally, if on-site enhancement is pursued, an enhancement and revegetation plan will be developed in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
61. MM BIO-5: The proposed Project is an MSHCP Covered Activity and subject to the MSHCP implementation procedures. Prior to adoption and approval of the DEIR, the City of Beaumont will ensure full implementation of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan for the Project, which includes, but is not limited to, sending a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the US Fish and Wildlife Service for a 60 -day review and response period prior to the City approving the DBESP and finalizing the DEIR.
62. MM BIO-6: Avoided riparian/riverine areas, and associated functions and values, will be conserved through the use of deed restrictions, conservation easement, or other appropriate mechanisms.
63. MM CUL-1: A qualified archaeological monitor who meets U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) will be present during Project-related ground-disturbing activities in undisturbed native sediments.
64. MM CUL-2: In the event that potentially significant cultural materials are encountered during Project-related ground-disturbing activities, all work will be halted in the vicinity of the discovery until a qualified archaeologist who meets U.S.
Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) can visit the site of discovery and assess the signi ficance of the archaeological resource.
65. MM GEO-1: Settlement Monitoring Program. A Settlement Monitoring Program would be implemented, as required by the City of Beaumont Engineering Department, consisting of the surveying of surface monuments to monitor settlement of alluvial soils left in-place and/or proposed fills deeper than 30 feet (design plus remedial grading). Survey monument readings for both deep fill areas and for fill over compressible natural ground (Qal) should be conducted following the completion of fill placement. Survey monument locations should be selected by the geotechnical consultant. Survey readings should be taken weekly for the first month and on a weekly basis thereafter until vertical movement of the fill mass achieve 90 percent of primary compression, begin secondary compression or the estimated remaining settlement is less than one inch. Construction of proposed structures would not commence until approved by the geotechnical consultant based on the results of the settlement mo nitoring. Survey benchmarks used for the monitoring would be confirmed with the geotechnical consultant prior to initial readings being performed.
Foundation and Grading Plan Review. New retaining walls with maximum heights of up to 50± feet would be constructed as part of the new development. Additional review of the global stability of the proposed site grading be performed by SCG once more detailed rough grading plans become available. An additional subsurface exploration may be required to evaluate the geotechnical design considerations of the retaining wall and new slope configurations , as determined by a qualified geologist.
Over excavation. Benching of the sidewalls would be required during fill placement.
The horizontal extent of the benching sho uld be sufficient to reduce the inclination of the native fill contact to 3h:1v or flatter. Following completion of the over excavations, the subgrade would be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to verify its suitability to serve as the structural fill subgrade. Some localized areas of deeper excavation may be required if loose, porous, or low-density materials are encountered at the base of the over excavation. Materials suitable to serve as the structural fill subgrade within the building area should consist of moderate strength alluvial soils which possess an in-situ density equal to at least 85 percent of the ASTM D -1557 maximum dry density. These materials would be moisture

Draft Conditions of Approval
conditioned to 0 to 4 percent above optimum moisture content prior to placem ent of any new fill soils. The previously excavated soils may then be replaced as compacted structural fill.
66. MM GEO-2: Paleontological Construction Monitoring and Compliance Program.
The following measures would be implemented to reduce potential impacts to paleontological resources to less than significant:
Retain a Qualified Paleontologist. Prior to initial ground disturbance, the Applicant shall retain a Project paleontologist, defined as a paleontologist who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards for Qualified Professional Paleontologist, to direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources.
Paleontological Monitoring. Ground disturbing construction activities (including grading, trenching, foundation work, and other excavations) in areas mapped as high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored on a full-time basis by a qualified paleontological monitor during initial ground disturbance. Areas mapped as low to high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored when ground-disturbing activities exceed five feet in depth, because underlying sensitive sediments could be impacted. Areas considered to have an undetermined paleontological sensitivity shall be inspected and further assessed if construction activities bring potentially sensitive geologic deposits to the surface. The Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program shall be supervised by the Project paleontologist. Monitoring must be conducted by a qualified paleontological monitor, who is defined as an individual who has experience with collection and salvage of paleontological resources. The duration and timing of the monitoring would be determined by City based on recommendation from the Project paleontologist. If the Project paleontologist determines that full-time monitoring is no longer warranted, they may recommend to the City that monitoring be reduced to periodic spot-checking or cease entirely. Monitoring would be reinstated if any new or unforeseen deeper ground disturbances are required and re duction or suspension would need to be reconsidered by the Supervising Paleontologist.
Ground disturbing activity that does not exceed five feet in depth would not require paleontological monitoring.
Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program. Aft er Project design has been finalized to determine the precise extent and location of planned ground disturbances, and prior to construction activity, a qualified paleontologist would prepare a Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program to be impleme nted during ground disturbance activity for the Project. This program would outline the procedures for construction staff Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training, paleontological monitoring extent and duration, salvage and preparation of fossils, the final mitigation and monitoring report, and paleontological staff qualifications. The program would be prepared in accordance
with the standards set forth by current Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines (2010) and with proper implementation, would reduce or eliminate potential impacts to paleontological resources.
Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the start of construction, the Project paleontologist or his/her designee shall conduct training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying paleontological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff.
The WEAP shall be presented at a preconstruction meeting that a qualified paleontologist shall attend. In the event of a fossil discovery by construction personnel, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease and a qualified paleontologist shall be contacted to evaluate the find before restarting work in the area. If it is determined that the fossil(s) is (are) scientifically significant, the qualified paleontologist shall complete the following conditions to mitigate impacts to significant fossil resources.
Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, the Project paleontologist or paleontological monitor should recover them. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case, the paleontologist would have the authority to temporarily direct, divert, or halt construction activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a safe and timely manner.
Preparation and Curation of Recovered Fossils. Once salvaged, the City would ensure that significant fossils would be identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a scientific institution with a permanent paleontological collection (such as the Western Science Center), along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Project paleontologi st. Field collection and preparation of fossil specimens would be performed by the Project paleontologist with further preparation as needed by an accredited museum repository institution at the time of curation.
Final Paleontological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground -disturbing activity (and curation of fossils, if necessary) the qualified paleontologist should prepare a final mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report should include discussion of the location, duration, and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific significance of those fossils, and where fossils were curated.
67. MM GHG-1: Phase 1 of the Project shall install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or
PM2021-0009 (TPM38223)
Draft Conditions of Approval
other source of renewable energy generation on-site, or otherwise acquire energy from the local utility that has been generated by renewable sources, that would provide 100 percent of the expected building load (i.e., the Title 24 electricity demand and the plug-load, conservatively anticipated to be approximately 8.87 kilowatt hours per year [kWh/year] per square foot).
With expected energy consumption at 8.87 kWh/sf, a PV panel array covering approximately one quarter of the proposed roof space would provide sufficient on- site renewable energy generation to offset consumption. The final PV generation facility size requires approval by Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE’s Rule 21 governs operating and metering requirements for any facility connected to SCE’s distribution system. Should SCE limit the off-site export, the proposed Project may utilize a battery energy storage system (BESS) to lower off -site export while maintaining on-site renewable generation to offset consumption.
Should the energy consumption characteristics of a future tenant differ from this projection, there is sufficient space on the rooftop for the system to roughly triple on-site generation. The building shall include an electrical system and other infrastructure sufficiently sized to accommodate the PV arrays. The electrical system and infrastructure must be clearly labeled with noticeable and permanent signage.
68. MM GHG-2: Prior to the issuance of a Phase 1 or Phase 2 building permit, the Project Applicant or successor in interest shall provide documentation to the City of Beaumont demonstrating that the Project is designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and meet or exceed CalGreen Tier 2 standards in effect at the time of building permit application.

If groundbreaking activities occur outside the least Bell’s vireo nesting season (i.e., September 16 - March 14), a qualified biologist shall perform a p resence/absence survey within suitable habitat on-site, and shall continue these surveys on a monthly basis, especially as breeding season commences.
If least Bell’s vireo nesting is discovered, either during protocol surveys, monthly presence/absence surveys, or incidentally, no Project activities shall occur within
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
300 feet of any least Bell’s vireo nest site until it has been confirmed that the young have fledged, and the nest is no longer active. A qualified biologist shall always be present when construction crews are working within 1/8 mile surrounding an identified least Bell’s vireo nest site to ensure that the birds do not react unfavorably to Project activities. If the qualified biologist observes signs of agitation stemming from Project activities, the activities shall cease and not resume until the birds’ behavior normalizes. If the birds continue to exhibit signs of agitation, Project activities shall be adjusted to avoid impacts on nesting least Bell’s vireo.
Additionally, in the presence of least Bell’s vireo nests, noise level from Project activities shall not to exceed 65 dBA at the edge of occupied habitat. If this is not possible, a noise barrier shall be constructed to keep noise at or below 65 dBA to avoid adverse impacts to any least Bell’s vireo nest/s.
During the least Bell’s vireo breeding season, artificial light shall not be cast into suitable habitat.
A qualified biologist shall conduct a training session for Project personnel prior to grading in conformance with MSCHP best management practices requirements.
The training shall include a description of least Bell’s vireo and its habitats, the general provisions of the Endangered Species Act (Act) and the MSHCP, the need to adhere to the provisions of the Act and the MSHCP, the pe nalties associated with violating the provisions of the Act, the general measures that are being implemented to conserve the species of concern as they relate to the Project, and the access routes to and Project site boundaries within which the Project activities must be accomplished.
72. MM BIO-2: A qualified biologist will conduct a pre-construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to site disturbance. If burrowing owls are documented on-site, the owls will be relocated/excluded from the site outside of the breeding season following accepted protocols, as specified in the MSHCP.
CDFW will be notified within 48-hours of detection and the take of active nests will be avoided. To avoid take of active nests, a qualified biologist will develop a Burrowing Owl Plan that describes avoidance, relocation, monitoring, minimization, and/or mitigation actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites and details on proposed buffers if avoiding the burrowing owls or information on the adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls for relocation. If no suitable habitat is available nearby for relocation, details regarding the creation and funding of artificial burrows (numbers, location, and type of burrows) and management activities for relocated owls shall also be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. The Burrowing Owl Plan will be reviewed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority.
73. MM BIO-3: To ensure compliance with California Fish and Game Code section
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
3503, 3503.5, and 3513 and to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds vegetation clearing and ground disturbing activities shall be conducted outside of the bird nesting season. If avoidance of the nesting season is not feasible, then a qualified biologist will conduct a nesting bird survey within three days prior to any disturbance of the site, including but not limited to vegetation clearing, disking, demolition activities, and grading. If active nests are identified, the biologist shall establish suitable buffers around the nests depending on the level of activity within the buffer and species observed, and the buffer areas shall be avoided until the nests are no longer occupied, and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests.
During construction activities, the qualified biologist shall continue biological monitoring activities at a frequency recommended by the qualified biologist using their best professional judgement. If nesting birds are detected, avoidance and minimization measures may be adjusted and construction activities stopped or redirected by the qualified biologist using their best professional ju dgement to avoid take of nesting birds.
74. MM BIO-4: Prior to any ground-disturbing activity near jurisdictional aquatic resources, applicable permits shall be obtained through the Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW for impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources. The Applicant shall implement/comply with all permit conditions and mitigation measures required by the resource agencies. Compensatory mitigation to offset impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources may be implemented through on-site or off-site, permittee- responsible mitigation, in-lieu fee (ILF) program or mitigation bank credit purchase, or a combination of these options depending on availability.
The proposed compensatory mitigation strategy is as follows, for a total 3:1 mitigation ratio:
1. Purchase of 4.82 credits (2:1 mitigation ratio) from an in-watershed mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program), as available; AND
2. An additional 1:1 mitigation via one of the following measures, dependent on negotiations with the resource agencies during the permit evaluation process:
a. On-site preservation, including enhancement and revegetation within Specific Plan Planning Area 3, with a focus on removal of invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and replanting with native species such as mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia) and other appropriate species, OR
b. Purchase of 2.41 credits (1:1 mitigation ratio) from an in-watershed
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program), as available.
The Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW will make final determinations regarding compensatory mitigation requirements during the permit evaluation process. If mitigation credits are not available at the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program, purchase of credits at an alternative mitigation bank will be pursued in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
Additionally, if on-site enhancement is pursued, an enhancement and revegetation plan will be developed in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
75. MM BIO-5: The proposed Project is an MSHCP Covered Activity and subject to the MSHCP implementation procedures. Prior to adoption and approval of the DEIR, the City of Beaumont will ensure full implementation of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan for the Project, which includes, but is not limited to, sending a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the US Fish and Wildlife Service for a 60-day review and response period prior to the City approving the DBESP and finalizing the DEIR.
76. MM BIO-6: Avoided riparian/riverine areas, and associated functions and values, will be conserved through the use of deed restrictions, conservation easement, or other appropriate mechanisms.
77. MM CUL-1: A qualified archaeological monitor who meets U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) will be present during Project-related ground-disturbing activities in undisturbed native sediments.
78. MM CUL-2: In the event that potentially significant cultural materials are encountered during Project-related ground-disturbing activities, all work will be halted in the vicinity of the discovery until a qualified archaeologist who meets U.S.
Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) can visit the site of discovery and assess the significance of the archaeological resource.
79. MM GEO-1: Settlement Monitoring Program. A Settlement Monitoring Program would be implemented, as required by the City of Beaumont Engineering Department, consisting of the surveying of surface monuments to monitor settlement of alluvial soils left in-place and/or proposed fills deeper than 30 feet (design plus remedial grading). Survey monument readings for both deep fill areas and for fill over compressible natural ground (Qal) should be conducted following the completion of fill placement. Survey monument locations should be selecte d by the geotechnical consultant. Survey readings should be taken weekly for the first month and on a weekly basis thereafter until vertical movement of the fill mass achieve 90 percent of primary compression, begin secondary compression or the
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
estimated remaining settlement is less than one inch. Construction of proposed structures would not commence until approved by the geotechnical consultant based on the results of the settlement monitoring. Survey benchmarks used for the monitoring would be confirmed with the geotechnical consultant prior to initial readings being performed.
Foundation and Grading Plan Review. New retaining walls with maximum heights of up to 50± feet would be constructed as part of the new development. Additional review of the global stability of the proposed site grading be performed by SCG once more detailed rough grading plans become available. An additional subsurface exploration may be required to evaluate the geotechnical design considerations of the retaining wall and new slop e configurations, as determined by a qualified geologist.
Over excavation. Benching of the sidewalls would be required during fill placement.
The horizontal extent of the benching should be sufficient to reduce the inclination of the native fill contact to 3h:1v or flatter. Following completion of the over excavations, the subgrade would be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to verify its suitability to serve as the structural fill subgrade. Some localized areas of deeper excavation may be required if loose, porous, or low-density materials are encountered at the base of the over excavation. Materials suitable to serve as the structural fill subgrade within the building area should consist of moderate strength alluvial soils which possess an in-situ density equal to at least 85 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density. These materials would be moisture conditioned to 0 to 4 percent above optimum moisture content prior to placement of any new fill soils. The previously excavated soils may then be replaced as compacted structural fill.
80. MM GEO-2: Paleontological Construction Monitoring and Compliance Program.
The following measures would be implemented to reduce potential impacts to paleontological resources to less than significant:
Retain a Qualified Paleontologist. Prior to initial ground disturbance, the Applicant shall retain a Project paleontologist, defined as a paleontologist who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards for Qualified Professional Paleontologist, to direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources.
Paleontological Monitoring. Ground disturbing construction activities (including grading, trenching, foundation work, and other excavations) in areas mapped as high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored on a full-time basis by a qualified paleontological monitor during initial ground disturbance. Areas mapped as low to high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored when ground -disturbing activities exceed five feet in depth, because underlying sensitive sediments could be impacted. Areas considered to have an undetermined paleontological
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
sensitivity shall be inspected and further assessed if construction activities bring potentially sensitive geologic deposits to the surface. The Paleo ntological Mitigation and Monitoring Program shall be supervised by the Project paleontologist. Monitoring must be conducted by a qualified paleontological monitor, who is defined as an individual who has experience with collection and salvage of paleontological resources. The duration and timing of the monitoring would be determined by City based on recommendation from the Project paleontologist. If the Project paleontologist determines that full-time monitoring is no longer warranted, they may recommend to the City that monitoring be reduced to periodic spot-checking or cease entirely. Monitoring would be reinstated if any new or unforeseen deeper ground disturbances are required and reduction or suspension would need to be reconsidered by the Supervising Paleontologist.
Ground disturbing activity that does not exceed five feet in depth would not require paleontological monitoring.
Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program. After Project design has been finalized to determine the precise extent an d location of planned ground disturbances, and prior to construction activity, a qualified paleontologist would prepare a Paleontological Mitigation and Monitoring Program to be implemented during ground disturbance activity for the Project. This program would outline the procedures for construction staff Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training, paleontological monitoring extent and duration, salvage and preparation of fossils, the final mitigation and monitoring report, and paleontological staff qualifications. The program would be prepared in accordance with the standards set forth by current Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines (2010) and with proper implementation, would reduce or eliminate potential impacts to paleontological resources.
Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the start of construction, the Project paleontologist or his/her designee shall conduct training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying paleontological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff.
The WEAP shall be presented at a preconstruction meeting that a qualified paleontologist shall attend. In the event of a fossil discovery by construction personnel, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease and a qualified paleontologist shall be contacted to evaluate the find before restarting work in the area. If it is determined that the fossil(s) is (are) scientifically significant, the qualified paleontologist shall complete the following conditions to mitigate impacts to significant fossil resources.
Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, the Project paleontologist or paleontological monitor should recover them. Typically, fossils can be saf ely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case, the
PP2021-0388
Draft Conditions of Approval
paleontologist would have the authority to temporarily direct, divert, or halt construction activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a safe and timely manner.
Preparation and Curation of Recovered Fossils. Once salvaged, the City would ensure that significant fossils would be identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a scientific institution with a permanent paleontological collection (such as the Western Science Center), along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Project paleontologist. Field collection and preparation of fossil specimens would be performed by the Project paleontologist with further preparation as needed by an accredited museum repository institution at the time of curation.
Final Paleontological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground-disturbing activity (and curation of fossils, if necessary) the qualified paleontologist should prepare a final mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report should include discussion of the location, duration, and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific significance of those fossils, and where fossils were curated.
81. MM GHG-1: Phase 1 of the Project shall install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or other source of renewable energy generation on-site, or otherwise acquire energy from the local utility that has been generated by renewable sources, that would provide 100 percent of the expected building load (i.e., the Title 24 electricity demand and the plug-load, conservatively anticipated to be approximately 8.87 kilowatt hours per year [kWh/year] per square foot).
With expected energy consumption at 8.87 kWh/sf, a PV panel array covering approximately one quarter of the proposed roof space would provide sufficient on - site renewable energy generation to offset consumption. The final PV generation facility size requires approval by Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE’s Rule 21 governs operating and metering requirements for any facility connected to SCE’s distribution system. Should SCE limit the off -site export, the proposed Project may utilize a battery energy storage system (BESS) to lower off -site export while maintaining on-site renewable generation to offset consumption.
Should the energy consumption characteristics of a future tenant differ from this projection, there is sufficient space on the rooftop for the system to roughly triple on-site generation. The building shall include an electrical system and other infrastructure sufficiently sized to accommodate the PV arrays. The electrical system and infrastructure must be clearly labeled with noticeable and permanent signage.

If groundbreaking activities occur outside the least Bell’s vireo nesting season (i.e., September 16 - March 14), a qualified biologist shall perform a presence/absence survey within suitable habitat on-site, and shall continue these surveys on a monthly basis, especially as breeding season commences.
If least Bell’s vireo nesting is discovered, either during protocol surveys, monthly presence/absence surveys, or incidentally, no Project activities shall occur within
PP2021-0390
Draft Conditions of Approval
300 feet of any least Bell’s vireo nest site until it has been confirmed that the young have fledged, and the nest is no longer active. A qualified biologist shall always be present when construction crews are working within 1/8 mile surrounding an identified least Bell’s vireo nest site to ensure that the birds do not react unfavorably to Project activities. If the qualified biologist observes signs of agitation stemming from Project activities, the activities shall cease and not resume until the birds’ behavior normalizes. If the birds continue to exhibit signs of agitation, Project activities shall be adjusted to avoid impacts on nesting least Bell’s vireo.
Additionally, in the presence of least Bell’s vireo nests, noise level from Project activities shall not to exceed 65 dBA at the edge of occupied habitat. If this is not possible, a noise barrier shall be constructed to keep noise at or below 65 dBA to avoid adverse impacts to any least Bell’s vireo nest/s.
During the least Bell’s vireo breeding season, artificial light shall not be cast into suitable habitat.
A qualified biologist shall conduct a training session for Project personnel prior to grading in conformance with MSCHP best management practices requirements.
The training shall include a description of least Bell’s vireo and its habitats, the general provisions of the Endangered Species Act (Act) and the MSHCP, the need to adhere to the provisions of the Act and the MSHCP, the pen alties associated with violating the provisions of the Act, the general measures that are being implemented to conserve the species of concern as they relate to the Project, and the access routes to and Project site boundaries within which the Project activities must be accomplished.
72. MM BIO-2: A qualified biologist will conduct a pre-construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to site disturbance. If burrowing owls are documented on-site, the owls will be relocated/excluded from the site outside of the breeding season following accepted protocols, as specified in the MSHCP.
CDFW will be notified within 48-hours of detection and the take of active nests will be avoided. To avoid take of active nests, a qualified biologist will develop a Burrowing Owl Plan that describes avoidance, relocation, monitoring, minimization, and/or mitigation actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites and details on proposed buffers if avoiding the burrowing owls or information on the adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls for relocation. If no suitable habitat is available nearby for relocation, details regarding the creation and funding of artificial burrows (numbers, location, and type of burrows) and management activities for relocated owls shall also be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. The Burrowing Owl Plan will be reviewed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority.

PP2021-0390
Draft Conditions of Approval
3503, 3503.5, and 3513 and to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds vegetation clearing and ground disturbing activities shall be conducted outside of the bird nesting season. If avoidance of the nesting season is not feasible, then a qualified biologist will conduct a nesting bird survey within three days prior to any disturbance of the site, including but not limited to vegetation clearing, disking, demolition activities, and grading. If active nests are identified, the biologist shall establish suitable buffers around the nests depending on the level of activity within the buffer and species observed, and the buffer areas shall be avoided until the nests are no longer occupied, and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests.
During construction activities, the qualified biologist shall continue biological monitoring activities at a frequency recommended by the qualified biologist using their best professional judgement. If nesting birds are detected, avoidance and minimization measures may be adjusted and construction activities stopped or redirected by the qualified biologist using their best professional judgement to avoid take of nesting birds.
74. MM BIO-4: Prior to any ground-disturbing activity near jurisdictional aquatic resources, applicable permits shall be obtained through the Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW for impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources. The Applicant shall implement/comply with all permit conditions and mitigation measures required by the resource agencies. Compensatory mitigation to offset impacts on jurisdictional aquatic resources may be implemented through on-site or off-site, permittee- responsible mitigation, in-lieu fee (ILF) program or mitigation bank credit purchase, or a combination of these options depending on availability.
The proposed compensatory mitigation strategy is as follows, for a total 3:1 mitigation ratio:
1. Purchase of 4.82 credits (2:1 mitigation ratio) from an in -watershed mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program), as available; AND
2. An additional 1:1 mitigation via one of the following measures, dependent on negotiations with the resource agencies during the permit evaluation process:
a. On-site preservation, including enhancement and revegetation within Specific Plan Planning Area 3, with a focus on removal of invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and replanting with native species such as mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia) and other appropriate species, OR
b. Purchase of 2.41 credits (1:1 mitigation ratio) from an in-watershed
PP2021-0390
Draft Conditions of Approval
mitigation bank (i.e., the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program), as available.
The Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW will make final determinations regarding compensatory mitigation requirements during the permit evaluation process. If mitigation credits are not available at the Santa Ana River Watershed ILF Program, purchase of credits at an alternative mitigation bank will be pursued in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
Additionally, if on-site enhancement is pursued, an enhancement and revegetation plan will be developed in consultation with the regulatory agencies during the aquatic resources permitting process.
75. MM BIO-5: The proposed Project is an MSHCP Covered Activity and subject to the MSHCP implementation procedures. Prior to adoption and approval of the DEIR, the City of Beaumont will ensure full implementation of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan for the Project, which includes, but is not limited to, sending a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the US Fish and Wildlife Service for a 60-day review and response period prior to the City approving the DBESP and finalizing the DEIR.
76. MM BIO-6: Avoided riparian/riverine areas, and associated functions and values, will be conserved through the use of deed restrictions, conservation easement, or other appropriate mechanisms.
77. MM CUL-1: A qualified archaeological monitor who meets U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) will be present during Project-related ground-disturbing activities in undisturbed native sediments.
78. MM CUL-2: In the event that potentially significant cultural materials are encountered during Project-related ground-disturbing activities, all work will be halted in the vicinity of the discovery until a qualified archaeologist who meets U.S.
Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI) can visit the site of discovery and assess the significance of the archaeological resource.
79. MM GEO-1: Settlement Monitoring Program. A Settlement Monitoring Program would be implemented, as required by the City of Beaumont Engineering Department, consisting of the surveying of surface monuments to monitor settlement of alluvial soils left in-place and/or proposed fills deeper than 30 feet (design plus remedial grading). Survey monument readings for both deep fill areas and for fill over compressible natural ground (Qal) should be conducted following the completion of fill placement. Survey monument locations should be selected by the geotechnical consultant. Survey readings should be taken weekly for the first month and on a weekly basis thereafter until vertical movement of the fill ma ss achieve 90 percent of primary compression, begin secondary compression or the
PP2021-0390
Draft Conditions of Approval
estimated remaining settlement is less than one inch. Construction of proposed structures would not commence until approved by the geotechnical consultant based on the results of the settlement monitoring. Survey benchmarks used for the monitoring would be confirmed with the geotechnical consultant prior to initial readings being performed.
Foundation and Grading Plan Review. New retaining walls with maximum heights of up to 50± feet would be constructed as part of the new development. Additional review of the global stability of the proposed site grading be performed by SCG once more detailed rough grading plans become available. An additional subsurface exploration may be required to evaluate the geotechnical design considerations of the retaining wall and new slope configurations , as determined by a qualified geologist.
Over excavation. Benching of the sidewalls would be required during fill placement.
The horizontal extent of the benching should be sufficient to reduce the inclination of the native fill contact to 3h:1v or flatter. Following completion of the over excavations, the subgrade would be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to verify its suitability to serve as the structural fill subgrade. Some localized areas of deeper excavation may be required if loose, porous, or low-density materials are encountered at the base of the over excavation. Materials suitable to serve as the structural fill subgrade within the building area should consist of moderate strength alluvial soils which possess an in-situ density equal to at least 85 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density. These materials would be moisture conditioned to 0 to 4 percent above optimum moisture co ntent prior to placement of any new fill soils. The previously excavated soils may then be replaced as compacted structural fill.
80. MM GEO-2: Paleontological Construction Monitoring and Compliance Program.
The following measures would be implemented to red uce potential impacts to paleontological resources to less than significant:
Retain a Qualified Paleontologist. Prior to initial ground disturbance, the Applicant shall retain a Project paleontologist, defined as a paleontologist who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards for Qualified Professional Paleontologist, to direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources.
Paleontological Monitoring. Ground disturbing construction activities (including grading, trenching, foundation work, and other excavations) in areas mapped as high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored on a full-time basis by a qualified paleontological monitor during initial ground disturbance. Areas mapped as low to high paleontological sensitivity shall be monitored when ground-disturbing activities exceed five feet in depth, because underlying sensitive sediments could be impacted. Areas considered to have an undetermined paleontological
