Enhanced with longer flight times, increased payload capability, advanced AI, and various other features, the M300 is a complete ecosystem to meet the most demanding enterprise needs. Cost: $30,398 using SLESA funds, Quantity: 2
The Matrice 300 RTK is designed to work in challenging environments. Its IP45 ingress protection means it stays hard at work despite heavier rain, dust, or particles. Operate in extreme temperatures from -4°F to 122°F, and fly through winds up to 33.5 MPH. In the unlikely event of system failure, multiple redundancies are in place to alert you and help maintain flight.
This drone also utilizes tried-and-true FAA technology for next -generation aircraft with an ADS -B AirSense receiver, anti -collision beacon, and six directional sensing and positioning sensors to support collision avoidance with a detection range of over 130 feet. For more extended missions, the M300 even allows pilot -to -pilot hand-off, helping to ensure continuous operation through large areas.
The Matrice 300 RTK is compatible with various payloads that utilize LiDAR, thermal imaging, high zoom cameras, hybrid (wide, zoom, and thermal), or third -party gimbals and spotlights. The Beaumont Police Department utilizes the Zenmuse H2OT dual thermal camera. This camera can spot subjects or terrain through smoke, fog, night, or
bad weather through a combination of payloads and picture profiles. This aircraft can also create detailed 3D maps and models for crime scenes or accident reconstruction.
Smart Track lets the drone automatically follow a subject visually and update its dynamic location on a map in real-time. Additionally, Smart Inspect can take a series of more than 65,000 waypoints and automate your positions. Smart Inspect can also replicate camera position, angle, and shot framing to track changes over time.

Staff Report

DATE April 16, 2024
SUBJECT: Commitment to Potential Match Requirement for Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grant
Description City staff requests a letter of support for the potential 50% match requirement to receive funds from the ORLP grant for the Stewart Park project P-10 Strategic Plan Target #5 Quality of Life/Well-Being and Goal #7 Complete Stewart Park.
Background and Analysis:
The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program, established in 2014 and funded through the Land and Water Conservation Fund, aims to provide grant assistance to economically disadvantaged urban communities lacking access to publicly available outdoor recreation spaces. The program supports the acquisition, development, or substantial renovation of public parks and outdoor recreation areas.
The City of Beaumont has identified the revitalization of Stewart Park as a priority project, aligning with Strategic Plan Goal Target #5: Quality of Life/Well-Being and Goal #7: Complete Stewart Park. The comprehensive renovation of Stewart Park, located in downtown Beaumont, seeks to enhance recreational opportunities for residents and visitors while promoting community engagement and well-being.
In collaboration with staff, the City's consultant, RPPG, assisted with the initial application of the ORLP grant for state consideration. Staff met with RPPG on several occasions to outline the content of the ORLP application, particularly in incorporating the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) goals such as park access, community -based planning, and health partnerships.
Proposal:
The City is pursuing grant funding through the ORLP program to support Phase 11 of the Stewart Park Improvement Project. Phase II includes essential amenities such as a small playground, basketball/pickleball courts, a stage, group picnic shelters, skate park
improvements, tiled entry plazas, accessible pathways, and additional landscaping enhancements. The total estimated cost for Phase II is $6.2M.
In order to secure funding through the ORLP program, the City must meet a 50% match requirement for the grant. The City seeks to fulfill this match requirement by reallocating funds from other projects. This strategic approach ensures compliance with the grant requirement while optimizing the use of internal resources. A comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) amendment detailing this reallocation will be presented to City Council on May 7, 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
The financial impact of this commitment will be the reallocation of funds from other projects to fulfill the potential match requirement for the ORLP grant. The exact amount of the reallocation will be specified in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) amendment presented to City Council on May 7, 2024. Below is an approximate breakdown.
Total Estimated Phase II Cost:

City's Match:
$6.2M
$3.1M
$3.1M
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the Mayor approve and sign the commitment to a potential match requirement for the ORLP grant, as outlined in this staff report. This commitment demonstrates the City's dedication to enhancing recreational opportunities for the residents of Beaumont and aligns with Strategic Plan Goal Target #5: Quality of Life/Well-Being and Goal #7: Complete Stewart Park.

April 16, 2024
To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing on behalf of the City Council of Beaumont to express our full endorsement and support for securing grant funding for Phase II of the Stewart Park Improvement Project through the Outdoor Legacy Recreation Program (ORLP).
The City Council is committed to advancing the revitalization of Stewart Park, a key initiative aligning with the City of Beaumont's Strategic Plan Goal Target #5: Quality of Life/Well-Being and Goal #7: Complete Stewart Park. Our city takes pride in offering parks and recreation services that cater to the diverse needs of every citizen. To further enhance the quality of life for our residents and accommodate the growth of our community, Beaumont has embarked on a comprehensive renovation of Stewart Park located in downtown Beaumont.
This renovation is the most significant undertaking for the 11 -acre park since its acquisition and development in 1939. Phase II of the project includes essential amenities such as multi - generational playground equipment, basketball/pickleball courts, a stage, group picnic shelters, skate park improvements, tiled entry plazas, accessible pathways, and additional landscaping enhancements. With the design for this phase now 100% complete, we are eager to proceed with the implementation of these improvements. Stewart Park will be transformed into a dynamic destination for families of all ages, offering recreational opportunities and fostering a sense of community.
In our pursuit of securing grant funding for this pivotal project, I am pleased to inform you that the Community Services Department is taking proactive measures by reallocating funds from other projects to fulfill the City's required match. This strategic initiative not only ensures compliance with the grant requirement but also optimizes the utilization of our internal resources. A comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) amendment detailing this reallocation will be presented to City Council on May 7, 2024.
Given the total estimated cost of Phase II amounting to approximately $6.2M, the City Council recognizes the importance of securing external funding to complement our investment in this project. Therefore, we fully endorse the approach of seeking grant funding to cover 50% of the project costs, with the City providing a matching contribution.
Thank you for considering our application for grant funding, and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with the National Parks Association on this transformative initiative.
Sincerely,
David Fenn
Mayor

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Sean Thuilliez, Chief of Police
DATE April 16, 2024
SUBJECT: Approve Purchase Order to 10-8 Retrofit, Inc. for Police Vehicle Outfitting Description Request to approve the purchase order to outfit 12 police vehicles with emergency equipment using pre -approved budget funding.
Background and Analysis:
The Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget includes replacing six aging police vehicles and increasing the fleet with six new police vehicles. The budget also includes the outfitting costs to equip each vehicle with necessary emergency vehicle equipment. 10-8 Retrofit, Inc. has submitted a quote to outfit all 12 vehicles at $199,999.42.
The City has already submitted payments of $67,191.62 this fiscal year to outfit police vehicles purchased during the FY 2022/23 year. This late outfitting is common due to delays in receiving new vehicles and extended wait times for outfitting due to being one of the only emergency vehicle outfitters in the Inland Empire. As only two of the twelve vehicles have been outfitted to date, some of these vehicles will likely be completed and billed next fiscal year.
Beaumont Municipal Code 3.01.100 authorizes the purchase of safety equipment and installation services for vehicles under the "No Competitive Market" exclusion to the formal bid process.
Fiscal Impact:
The purchase order to 10-8 Retrofit, Inc. will cost $199,999.42 from FY 2023/24 approved budgeted funds.
The cost of preparing this staff report is estimated at $500.
Recommended Action:
Approve the purchase order of $199,999.42 to 10-8 Retrofit, Inc.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Christina Taylor, Deputy City Manager
DATE April 16, 2024
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Consideration of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Continued from March 19, 2024
Description This item is continued from the March 19, 2024, City Council Meeting and is a request to annex 541.2 acres of unincorporated Riverside County properties within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Beaumont into the City accompanied by a Plan of Services; a pre -zone to establish a specific plan zone; amend the General Plan land use designation from Rural Residential (1 acre lots) to Industrial (I), General Commercial (GC), and Open Space (OS); a Specific Plan to allow up to 4,995,000 square feet of industrial uses within five (5) buildings plus a 35,000 square foot self - storage building, up to 246,000 square feet of general commercial uses, a 125 room hotel (approximately 90,000 square feet), for a total of approximately 5,331,000 square feet, 124.7 acres of open space and 152.4 acres of open space conservation; a development agreement between the City of Beaumont and Beaumont Pointe Partners, LLC; a purchase fifty-five (55) year lease back and a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the property as follows: 622.50 gross acres into 13 numbered lots with a range of 1.66 to 70.43 acres, 10 lettered lots with a range of 0.03 to 54.50 acres and one (1) 81.30 acre remainder parcel; a comprehensive sign program and the consideration of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) including the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and Statement of Overriding Considerations for 539.9 acres located on the south side of the 60 Freeway, west of Jack Rabbit Trail and north of the proposed extension of Fourth Street (APNs: 422-060-002, -005, -009, -010, -016 thru -018, -021, -022, 422-170-005, -007 thru -011).
Background and Analysis:
The applicant is requesting adoption/approval of several applications that have been submitted over a period of four (4) years. The individual requests are broken down below:
Annexation (PLAN2023-0931) was entered into the system on March 7, 2023. The project proposes to annex approximately 540 acres of land from unincorporated Riverside County, within the City of Beaumont Sphere of Influence, into the Beaumont
City limits. A Sphere of Influence is a planning tool adopted and used by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to designate future boundary and service area for a City or special district. The proposal also includes a request to annex into the Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD). Prior to LAFCO consideration of an annexation, the City will have to certify the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed project in addition to the pre -zoning.
Plan of Service (PLAN 2023-0932) provides the City, LAFCO, affected property owners, and other interested persons with information regarding existing and proposed local government services for the project services. The Plan of Service (POS) is a requirement for the annexation request and is provided in Attachment K.
General Plan Amendment (PLAN2019-0284) was submitted on April 11, 2019, and is required by the Beaumont Municipal Code per Section 17.02.090 and California Government Code Section 65358 to allow for the amendment of the City of Beaumont General Plan. The project is proposing to amend the 2040 Beaumont General Plan land use designation from Rural Residential — 1 Acre Minimum on 539.9 acres to Industrial on 226.3 acres, General Commercial on 28.8 acres, 269.4 acres to Open Space, and 15.4 acres of public roads. The existing General Plan Land Use Designation Map is provided as Attachment A to this staff and the proposed amendment is provided as Attachment B. The County of Riverside General Plan land use designations for the subject properties include Open Space/Rural and Rural Mountainous.
Pre -Zone (PLAN2019-0283) was submitted on April 11, 2019, and is required per Beaumont Municipal Code, Section 17.02.080.A any person who is able to demonstrate a legal vested interest in the proposed application may initiate applications for a change of zone or zoning ordinance text amendment. The proposed application is requesting to pre -zone the subject properties to Specific Plan (Beaumont Pointe). The subject properties are currently zoned W-2-20 (Controlled Development Areas) by the County of Riverside. Riverside County Ordinance 348.4997, Article XV, Section 15.1 establishes planning and zoning regulations for the W-2 zone and allows for one -family dwellings, farming operations and animal keeping.
Specific Plan (SP2019-0003) was submitted on April 11, 2019. A specific plan is defined as a planning document that contains detailed development standards and implementation measures to which future projects located within a geographic area must adhere. Government Code 65453(a) states that a "specific plan shall be prepared, adopted, and amended in the same manner as a general plan, except that a specific plan may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance and may be amended as often as deemed necessary by the legislative body.
The proposed project is requesting a specific plan on 539.9 -acres to include four (4) land uses as shown in the table below:

Note 1: The General Commercial area (PA 1 & 2 is anticipated to include a 125 -room limited -service hotel at approximately 90,000 square feet. The hotel square footage is not counted as part of the General Commercial's square footage.
The draft Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan is provided as Attachment L to this staff report and covers the project introduction, development plan, development standards, design guidelines, and the implementation plan.
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 38161 (PM2022-0012) is required by the Beaumont Municipal Code per Section 16.04.010 that all land divisions in the incorporated area of the City, as defined in this title, are subject to all of the applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the Beaumont Municipal Code. The tentative parcel map proposes to subdivide the property as follows: 622.50 gross acres into 13 numbered lots with a range of 1.66 to 70.43 acres, 10 lettered lots with a range of 0.03 to 54.50 acres and one (1) 81.30 -acre remainder parcel (APNs: 422-060-002, -005, -009, -010, -016 thru -018, -021, -022, 422-170-005, -007 thru -011 (see Attachment M)).
Development Agreement (PLAN2023-0932) Government Code, Section 65864- 65869.5 authorizes cities to enter into binding development agreements with the person having legal or equitable interests in real property for the development of such property.
The City of Beaumont Resolution No. 1987-34 establishes procedures for consideration of applications for such agreements.
A development agreement is proposed for this project (see Attachment J). The development agreement lays out certain parameters and assurances for both the City and the developer. Key points of the proposed development agreement include an initial ten (10) year term with one five (5) year extension available and no fees are waived or locked in; a community benefit contribution in the amount of one (1) dollar per square foot of industrial with $3M paid upfront within 6 months of annexation; and a requirement that the developer must participate in formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) or annex the project into an existing CFD to pay for the cost of infrastructure and services.
Sign Program (PLAN2022-0856) The Municipal Code of the City of Beaumont Section
17.07.030.L allows sign programs for specific developments, as well as special sign districts or special sign overlay zones, or in specific plans of land uses, when approved as required by applicable law, may modify the rules stated as to sign size, height, illumination, spacing, orientation or other non -communicative aspects of signs, but may not override or modify any of the basic policies. The proposed sign program is provided as Attachment 0 to this staff report.
The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Sign Program proposes four (4) 50' freeway - oriented pylon sign; 10 secondary project and tenant monumentation with 55.25 square feet of identification panels, 120.75 square feet of mural area with total dimensions of 8' by 22'; and one primary monumentation sign with 90 square feet of identification area, 132 square feet of mural area with total dimensions of 6' by 27'.
Environmental Impact Report (ENV2019-0008) (SCH#2020099007) due to the scope of the project, the City of Beaumont has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is for required for this project and no initial study is required pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15063(a).
Accordingly, and in conformance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15121(a), the purposes of this EIR are to:
1. Disclose information by informing public agency decision -makers and the public generally of the significant environmental effects associated with all phases of the project.
2. Identify possible ways to minimize or avoid those significant effects.
3. To describe a reasonable range of alternatives to the project that would feasibly attain most of the basic project objectives but would avoid or substantially lessen its significant environmental effects.
Please see the Environmental Documentation section in this staff report for more information or the following attachments:
• Attachment F — Draft Environmental Impact Report
• Attachment G — Final Environmental Impact
• Attachment H — Draft Findings of Facts of Overriding Considerations • Attachment I — Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Project Setting:
The 539.9 -acre project site is currently vacant and is located on 15 parcels (APNs: 422- 060-002, -005, -009, -010, -016 through -018, -021, -022, 422-170-005, -007 through -

1.1 Project Vision
1.2 Project Summary
1.3 Project Location
1.4 Surrounding Land Uses & Development
1.5 Document Purpose
1.6 Specific Plan Format
1.7 Planning Approach
1.8 Specific Plan Goals
1.9 Discretionary Actions and Approvals
Chapter 2 — Development Plan
Chapter two (2) provides descriptions of the Beaumont Pointe Land Use Plan, the circulation system, and the plans for infrastructure including, but not limited to potable water, reclaimed water, sewer, drainage, grading, and fire protection. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan establishes a mixture of Industrial, General Commercial, Open Space, and Open Space - Conservation Land Uses on 539.9 acres, providing approximately 5,331,000 -square feet of industrial and light manufacturing, as well as hospitality, restaurants, retail, office and recreation uses, and other employment opportunities.
The Industrial Land Use Designation encompasses a total of 232.6 acres of the Specific Plan, with a total maximum of up to 4,995,000 -square feet of industrial and light manufacturing space permitted across six Planning Areas. Buildings in Planning Areas 3-8 are envisioned to range in size from approximately 35,000 -square feet up to approximately 1,379,000 -square feet and accommodate users such as industrial incubators, light manufacturing, parcel hub, warehouse/storage, fulfillment center, high cube warehouse, cold storage warehouse, and e -commerce operations.
The Specific Plan also establishes the 30.2 -acre General Commercial designated area in Planning Areas 1 and 2, named "The Experience at Beaumont Pointe". Envisioned as a premier, state -of the -art recreation, restaurant, and hospitality destination within the City of Beaumont.
The project provides for 277.1 acres of open space, which is comprised of 124.7 acres designated "Open Space" to accommodate manufactured slopes and fuel modification areas which buffer the development area from the approximately 152.4 acres of the site designated "Open Space - Conservation". This area will be conveyed to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA), to contribute to the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) preserve within the Badlands.
Table 2-1 of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan (see Attachment M), Land Use Plan Statistical Summary, lists each Planning Area and its respective General Plan Land Use Designation, acreage, and overall development intensity (Maximum Building Square Footage) by General Plan Land Use Designations. The Specific Plan General Development Criteria, Development Standards, and Planning Area Standards provided in Chapter 3 are applicable to each Planning Area. The physical arrangement of General Plan Land Uses, acreages, Planning Areas, and the major roadways within and abutting the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan are depicted by Figure 2-1, Conceptual Land Use Plan.

Note:
1 Planning Area 2 is anticipated to also include a 125 -room limited -service hotel (approximately 90,000 square feet). The approximately 90,000 square feet of hotel use is not counted as part of the General Commercial's 246,000 Maximum Building Square Footage because the project's traffic analysis for the commercial site estimates General Commercial traffic based on square footage, while the hotels are analyzed based on the number of rooms. This 90,000 sf is counted towards the project total square footage of 5,331,000.
Circulation
Vehicular circulation is comprised of external (public) roadways and internal circulation.
The intent of the circulation plan is to ensure safe and efficient movement throughout the project, within the site to individual tenant areas, as well as to public places within the site. The site is approximately 2.5 miles west of the junction of CA -60 Freeway and Interstate 10, 3 miles from the westbound on -ramp of the Interstate 10 Freeway at Oak Valley Parkway, and 14 miles east of Interstate 215.
Primary access to the project site will be provided from the future extension of Fourth Street. Fourth Street was recently extended (as an industrial collector with a 78 -foot right-of-way and 56 -foot curb -to -curb) from Potrero Boulevard (just show of the Potrero/SR 60 interchange) through the Hidden Canyon Industrial Park which now terminates just east of the project site.
Fourth Street will be extended as part of this project as a 2 -lane modified secondary street with a 78' right-of-way and 56' curb -to -curb. All traffic including commercial, industrial and truck traffic will access the site via the Fourth Street extension.
Jack Rabbit Trail is an existing unmaintained road. Half -width realignment and improvements will be provided as part of the project and will be required in the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map conditions of approval, see Attachment O. Jack Rabbit Trail is identified as a 2 -lane Modified Industrial Collector with a 78' right-of-way, 56' of paving, 11' wide parkway on the easterly side, and 6' wide curb adjacent sidewalk and 5' of landscaping along the west side.
At the intersection with Entertainment Way, Jack Rabbit Trail will transition to its ultimate full -width as a Modified Industrial Collector (78 -foot right-of-way) and continue south until it connects with the extension of Fourth Street; this section of Jack Rabbit Trail (between Entertainment Way and Fourth Street) will be open to the public and will provide general Project circulation and direct access to PA 1 and PA 2. Jack Rabbit Trail also connects Entertainment Way to Fourth Street.
Jack Rabbit Trail is designed as a Modified Industrial Collector because there is no median and the sidewalk is only on one side of the street due to the industrial nature of the site.
Jack Rabbit Trail will be realigned within the project boundary from the Caltrans right of way to 4th Street; a new 20' wide graded dirt road connection will be constructed through Planning Area 9 to connect to the existing right of way and dirt road south of Planning Area 9. To the south of Planning Area 9, Jack Rabbit Trail remains an unmaintained Riverside County roadway.
Entertainment Way connects Jack Rabbit Trail and Fourth Street and separates the industrial uses of Planning Areas 3-9 from the recreation, leisure and entertainment uses. Entertainment Way is designated as a 2 -lane private road, with 50' of paving and 6' sidewalk along the south side and 6' of landscaped parkway on the north side of the street, outside of the right-of-way.
Industrial Way creates a looped connection from Entertainment Way at the project's eastern boundary, to Fourth Street at Planning Area 8. This private road is intended to provide secondary access to each Planning Area. Industrial Way will have a 40' right- of-way and will include 40' of paving.
Interim Fire Access Loop. secondary access to each phase of development will provided by 40' wide "Interim Fire Access Loop Connection" roads connecting Industrial Way and Fourth Street. Each "Interim Fire Access Loop Connection" will be incorporated into the parking design for each subsequent phase as a dedicated drive aisle. For Phase 1, an Interim Fire Access Loop Connection will be constructed between Planning Areas 4 and 5 and will be incorporated into the Parking for Planning Area 5 during development of Phase 2. For Phase 2, an Interim Fire Access Loop Connection will be constructed between Planning Areas 6 and 7 and will be incorporated into the parking for Planning Area 7, during development of Phase 3. For Phase 3, Fourth Street and Industrial Way shall be connected at Planning Area 8 to create a system of permanent fire and emergency access circulation loops.
Water, Sewer and Drainage
The Beaumont - Cherry Valley District (BCVWD) provides potable water service to the project. At the time this Specific Plan was prepared (2021), an Annexation application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is required for the Specific Plan area to be annexed into the Beaumont -Cherry Valley Water District's boundary.
The project will consist of general commercial/retail land uses and five (5) large industrial warehouse buildings totaling approximately 5.0 million square feet of floor space. The Project's potable water and fire flow demands are proposed to be serviced by the BCVWD's 2650 pressure zone, which currently serves the westerly part of the BCVWD service area. As part of on -going water conservation efforts and the Project's plan of service with the BCVWD, all outdoor irrigation demands will utilize non -potable water when available, distributed by the BCVWD.
The project utilizes gravity lines for wastewater collection, along with a force main and lift station to convey wastewater from within the Specific Plan to the City of Beaumont's
existing sanitary sewer system located off -site, as described below. Due to the grading limitations and topography of the Specific Plan site, the project's sewer system utilizes 8" gravity sewer main lines, located within Industrial Way, to move wastewater flows from the project's high points (at PA 8 and PA 1), to the lift station constructed at the low point between PA 5 and 6. Flows from the lift station are then conveyed in dual 6" force main lines located within Industrial Way, Entertainment Way, Jack Rabbit Trail, and Fourth Street, to the point of connection at the existing 12" gravity main line at the manhole located at the eastern boundary of the site. The on -site lift station shall be designed to ultimate capacity with no interim condition except potential pump quantity.
The watershed from the developed areas of the property flows generally to the north, offsite into 16 culverts under the CA -60 freeway. The topography of the site features steep, eroded hillside grades and natural depressed grasslands at the entrances of the culverts, which provide natural detention and mitigation areas for the culverts before the runoff confluences with San Timoteo Creek on the northern side of the CA -60 Freeway.
The project maintains the 16 existing culverts under the CA -60 Freeway as the ultimate discharge locations for the property but the runoff from the proposed buildings, parking lots, and road improvements will be collected by a proposed drainage system. The most northwestern culvert is an existing 54" CMP and the most southeastern culvert is a double 48" CMP, adjacent to the CA -60 Freeway at Jack Rabbit Tail. The proposed drainage system will consist of catch basins, grated inlets, storm drainpipes with sizes varying from 18" to 48", and four (4) detention basins. The drainage system routes the runoff from the proposed impervious surfaces to four (4) proposed stormwater treatment and mitigation basins. Each basin provides stormwater treatment and peak flow mitigation for each of their respective tributaries to prevent the post development flows from exceeding the pre -development flows. Basins will be maintained by the Master Property Owners' Association, through access and maintenance easements with owners of each property where basins are located.
Grading
The project is located west of Jack Rabbit Trail, which forms the eastern Project site boundary. Topographically, the post development of the site generally slopes from southwest to northeast, with post grading elevations within Planning Areas 1-9 ranging from a low point at approximately 2,271 feet above mean sea level (msl) the northeastern portion of the site in Planning Area 2, to a high point of approximately 2,480 feet above msl in the southern portion of the site in Planning Area 9. Planning Area 9 located in the southwestern portion of the Specific Plan is designated Open Space, which consists of manufactured slopes, fuel modification zones and natural open space to buffer Open Space - Conservation in Planning Area 10 from development impacts. The Limits of Disturbance Line forms the boundary between
Planning Areas 9 and 10, and no grading or disturbance is permitted in Planning Area
10. The conceptual grading design provides for an overall balanced earthwork condition. Site grading will be done in conformance with the recommendations of a Geotechnical Engineer and the City of Beaumont.
Fire Protection Plan
The southern half of the project is located within the "Very High" Fire Hazard Severity Zone, with the northern half located within the "High" Fire Hazard Severity Zone. CAL FIRE has released an updated version of their fire hazard severity zone maps that, if adopted, would revise the fire hazard designation of the project site and its surroundings to all Very High rather than the current combination of Very High and High. Because of these designations, a Fire Protection Plan (FPP) has been prepared (Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Fire Protection Plan, Dudek, May 2023) to ensure the protection of all development within the project site from fire hazards.
The project FPP provides this protection while at the same time creating a smooth visual transition from the natural vegetation which may be located to a building's front, side, and/or rear landscapes, to the modified fuel zones beyond. Adoption of CAL FIRE's new fire hazard zone maps would not change the findings in the FPP, which was planned and prepared for Beaumont Pointe as if it was entirely within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. After being annexed into the City of Beaumont, it is possible that the project site could be re -designated as Local Responsibility Area (LRA) in a future update of CAL FIRE's hazard severity zone maps, which would mean the City of Beaumont would have the primary responsibility for the prevention and suppression of wildland fires at the project site.
Fuel modification zones within the project site are provided adjacent to open space areas where these abut development areas. Fuel modification planting shall be in accordance with the Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) standards and requirements and utilize appropriate plant materials and irrigation treatments. Lots within Planning Areas adjacent to open space will be developed in accordance with the FPP to provide adequate buffering and fuel modification zones consistent with RCFD standards. No Fuel Modification Zones shall be established within Planning Area 10.
Fuel modification zones will be provided where the conditions outlined below exist, as per the RCFD standards.
The project Conceptual Circulation Plan (Figure 2-2 of the Specific Plan, shown in Attachment M) identifies a looped perimeter road system (Fourth Street & Industrial Way) along with a phased series of 40' wide Interim Fire Access Loop Connections, to ensure adequate fire -fighting and emergency access, during construction and operation of the site. During each phase of development, an Interim Fire Access Loop Connection
will be constructed; for Phase 1, between Planning Areas 4 and 5; for Phase 2, between Planning Areas 6 and 7; for Phase 3, the permanent looped access will be completed with construction of the connection of Industrial Way with 4th Street at Planning Area 8. Upon development of each Planning Area, the Interim Access Loop connections shall be incorporated into the parking lot design as dedicated drive aisles to allow access from Fourth Street to Industrial Way.
For projects located within areas of "Very High" and "High" wildfire risk, measures designed to manage areas of "urban-wildland interface" are critical. In order to adequately protect structures adjacent to onsite and off -site open space areas, there must be sufficient "defensible space" between the structure and the fuel associated with the open land. A total of one -hundred feet of fuel modification treatment shall be required on all lots abutting native vegetation. In those areas where 100 feet of fuel modification zones cannot be achieved due to open space protection issues or property boundary limitation, special fire protection measures (discussed below in Section 2.9.2 (3) will be implemented to help protect the structures from wildfire, subject to the review and approval of the Riverside County Fire Department.
Fuel Modification Area (FMA) — Irrigated/Paved zone (Property Owners' Association Maintained) s a 100 -foot -wide irrigated zone surrounding the building pad and is measured from the edge of the developed pad and moving outward. FMA is applicable Specific Plan -wide for every perimeter structure. Most of the landscaped areas within Industrial and General Commercial Planning Areas meet FMA standards. All highly flammable native vegetation, as listed in Table 4-2, Prohibited Plant Species, shall be removed except for species approved by the Riverside County Fire Department. FMA is planted with drought -tolerant, less flammable plants, subject to Riverside County Fire Department approval. A permanent, automatic irrigation system shall be installed in FMA to maintain hydrated plants.
Fuel Maintenance Zone (FMZ) — (Property Owner's Association Maintained) reduces the fuel load of a wildland area adjacent to the FMA, and thereby, reduces heat and ember production from wildland fires, slows fire spread, and reduces fire intensity. FMZ consists of thinning treatment and removal of plants to ensure that areas in this zone are free of any dead and dying combustible vegetation and is measured from the end of FMA's limits extending outwards 20 feet. Some areas within this zone may have irrigated vegetation on manufactured slopes, others may have native vegetation.
Special Fire Protection Features may be required for a few buildings located within the Industrial and General Commercial Planning Areas because they do not meet the minimum 100' fuel treatment setback. These Special Fire Protection Features will be based on worst case scenarios (slope, wind, native vegetation, fuel moisture, humidity, etc.) and fire fuel modeling. Any building that is located less than 100' of the setback
may, subject to review and approval by the RCFD as part of the Plot Plan review project process, include Special Fire Protection Features.
Chapter 3 — Development Standards
The purpose of this section is to establish the general development criteria, permitted, conditional, and ancillary uses, development standards, and planning area standard for the project.
Planning Areas 1 & 2 — General Commercial
Planning Areas 1 & 2 consist of 30.2 -acres and allow for development of a variety of commercial, recreation, and lodging uses. The permitted use table is provided in the Specific Plan, shown as Attachment M, as Table 3-1.
The development standards for the General Commercial area are provided in Table 3-2 of the Specific Plan. The table identifies that the project has no minimum lot area, width and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 0.75. The General Commercial Planning Area anticipates a 125 -room limited -service hotel and shall not exceeded regardless of the FAR achieved throughout the entire specific plan.
Minimum setbacks when abutting a public or private street are 25' for buildings under 35' or over 35' that apply to front, rear and side yards. Minimum setbacks at interior side yards are five (5) feet for buildings, drive aisles and passenger and truck parking.
The interior side yard setback for screened loading and storage yards is zero (0).
Planning Areas 3 through 8 — Industrial
The industrial areas of the specific plan include six (6) planning areas with buildings that range in size from 35,000 to 1,379,000 square feet, and lots size ranging from 1.8 to
67.3 -acres. The permitted uses in these planning areas include distribution, warehouses, general warehouses, and e -commerce fulfillment centers for chilled, cooled, or frozen goods. The complete list of permitted, conditional, and ancillary uses are provided in Table 3-1 of the specific plan, that is provided as Attachment M to this staff report.
The development standards for the Industrial area are provided in Table 3-3 of the Specific Plan. The table identifies that the project has no minimum lot area, width and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 0.75. The FAR shall be calculated for each Planning Area or Parcel. The overall maximum building square footage for industrial uses within
the project area shall not exceed 4,995,000 square feet regardless of the FAR achieved throughout the entire specific plan.
Minimum front setbacks when abutting a public or private street are 25' with 10' of landscaping and are zero (0) for rear and side setbacks. Minimum setbacks at interior side yards are five (5) feet for buildings, drive aisles and passenger and truck parking.
The interior side yard setback for screened loading and storage yards is zero (0).
Planning Area 9 — Open Space
Planning Area 9 consists of 124.7 -acres of open space in the southern, western, and northern portions of the specific plan. This Planning Area is intended to contain a combination of landscaped manufactured slopes, fuel modifications areas, freeway - oriented pylon signs, wildlife fencing, natural open space, and an optional 1.2 -million - gallon water tank (and booster station).
Planning Area 10 — Open Space Conservation
Located along the southern and western boundary of the specific plan, Planning Area is designated as 152.4 -acres of Open Space Conservation. This area is intended to be conveyed to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) contributing to the MSHCP preserve within the Badlands.
Chapter 4 — Design Guidelines
The design guidelines establish the concepts and features envisioned for the specific plan. The design guidelines are utilized in conjunction with the development standards when reviewing the development. The design guidelines are oriented around two main elements: landscape and architecture.
The Architectural Design Guidelines describe the intended architectural themes and styles for buildings permitted within the Specific Plan area and provide a basis for decisions regarding the aesthetic elements of the built environment. The Landscape Guidelines describe general landscaping requirements, including streetscape design, entry treatments, water quality features, walls and fencing, and lighting.
Development within the Specific Plan will be organized in a way that reduces conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular paths of travel utilizing appropriate wayfinding measures visible to pedestrians and all vehicles, including large truck traffic.
Design guidelines within the specific plan recognize buildings should be oriented so loading areas are screened from view from streets and public areas. Long, horizontal stretches of buildings or walls should be broken up through a change in materials or other elements to provide visual interest and deter vandalism. Materials and colors utilized throughout the development should be consistent.
Chapter 5 — Implementation Plan
The specific plan and related entitlements are administered and implemented by the City's Planning Department in conjunction with other City departments and external agencies. The Community Development Director or Deputy City Manager is the absence of a Community Development Director shall be responsible for administering, interpreting, and enforcing all development standards of the specific plan, including acceptance and processing of all land use permit applications.
The Community Development Director is also the approval authority for substantial conformance determinations, plot plans — administrative reviews, and amendments to the fire hazard severity zone designation or adoption into the Local Responsibility Area (LRA) to conform to approved changes to CAL Fire's fire hazard severity zones.
The Planning Commission is the approval authority for the following applications:
• Sign Programs
• Modification to Sign Programs
• Variances
• Plot Plan — Planning Commission public hearing required • Conditional Use Permit
A substantial conformance determination may be used to approve minor modifications to the specific plan text and graphics and shall be reviewed by and may be approved by the Community Development Director administratively and without a public hearing.
1. Modifications to the Specific Plan text and graphics which do not substantially change the character or intent of Specific Plan.
2. Expansion or reduction of the net acreage and/or development intensity (square footage) of Planning Area 1 through 8 of 15% provided that the overall maximum square footage for Industrial uses and for General Commercial uses within this Specific Plan is not exceeded.
3. The increase of building intensity/density or building square footage, provided that it does not exceed 0.75 FAR for any Planning Area (as the acreage of the PA may be modified consistent with the Specific Plan) and provided that the
overall maximum square footage for Industrial uses and for General Commercial uses within this Specific Plan is not exceeded.
4. Construction of buildings across Planning Area boundaries with the same Land Use Designation, which cross over into abutting Planning Areas, subject to all of the applicable Implementation Regulations and Design Guidelines of this Specific Plan. Buildings constructed across Planning Area boundaries shall not, by themselves, trigger the requirement for a Specific Plan Amendment provided that the subject Planning Areas are under the same ownership prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Lot Line Adjustment.
5. Reductions of an approved Plot Plan or Conditional Use Permit's square footage by less than 25% of that stated within the approved Plot Plan or Conditional Use Permit.
6. Modifications to landscape coverage of less than 15% of that stated within the Specific Plan.
7. Decrease in parking requirements by a maximum of 10% with a parking study reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director.
8. Changes to the proposed land use for a Planning Area from that analyzed in the EIR to another land use permitted in Table 3-1; provided that each Planning Area shall comply with on -site and off -site street improvement recommendations and mitigation measures outlined in the Traffic Study (as modified by Section 5.2.8) and the MMRP.
9. Other minor changes, deviations or modifications of a similar nature to those listed above or which are deemed minor by the Community Development Director, including (i) minor changes, deviations or modifications to landscape materials, wall materials, wall alignment, wall height, entry design and streetscape design, and (ii) minor modifications to the Implementation Regulations (except for the Permitted, Conditionally Permitted, and Ancillary Uses) and Design Guidelines set forth in this Specific Plan provided such changes, deviations or modifications are consistent with the intent of the Implementation Regulations and Design Guidelines and with the character and
10. intent of the Specific Plan, and in conformance with the City of Beaumont General Plan.
The implementation chapter of the specific plan also outlines maintenance responsibilities for areas within the project. 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.
Maintenance responsibilities are identified in Table 5-1 in the specific plan, as shown in Attachment M. Maintenance responsibilities are broken down as follows, with the Beaumont responsibilities specifically called out:
• Master Property Owners' Association
• Property Owner or Occupant
• City of Beaumont
o Public Roadways — Pavement and Curbs
o Sidewalks
o Traffic Signals
o Streetlights within the Public Right -of -Way
o Sanitary Sewer Mainlines Facilities/Infrastructure
• Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District
• Other Maintenance Entity
Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP):
The project is found to be consistent with the MSHCP per the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) Joint Project Review (JPR 23-03-15-01). On July 3, 2023, the RCA determined that the project is consistent with both the Criteria and other Plan requirements. The project's 539.87 acres include 152.41 acres of on - site conservation located in MSHCP Criteria Cells 933, 936, 1030, 1032 and 1125. The project is also proposing 78.40 acres of off -site conservation located in the County of Riverside's jurisdiction.
Criteria is defined as descriptions provided for individual Cells or Cell Groups within the Criteria Area to guide assembly of the Additional Reserve Lands. Criteria Area is the area comprised of Cells depicted on Figure 3-1 of the MSHCP, Volume I.
Criteria Refinement is described in the MSHCP as the process through which changes to the Criteria may be made, where the refined Criteria result in the same or greater Conservation value and acreage to the MSHCP Conservation Area as determined through an equivalency analysis provided in support of the refinement.
Development Review Committee (DRC):
The Development Review Committee reviewed the project for design on April 22, 2021, September 9, 2021, December 9, 2021, May 26, 2022, December 15, 2022, and March 30, 2023. Staff from the various City departments provided written comments that have been incorporated into the proposed conditions of approval.
Consistency with Adopted Goals, Plans and Programs:
General Plan Consistency:
The subject site is currently located in the City of Beaumont's Sphere of Influence as identified in the 2040 Beaumont General Plan on the Land Use Map (Figure 3.5) with a current land use designation of Rural Residential — one (1) acre minimum (see Attachment A). The land use designation Table 3.3 describes Rural Residential - one (1) acre minimum as single-family detached homes on one (1) acre lots in a hillside setting.
Chapter 3 Land Use and Community Design in the 2040 General Plan identifies the subject area as the Jack Rabbit subarea as shown in Figure 3.3 of the General Plan.
This subarea includes the mountainous range known as the San Timoteo Badlands.
This area is undeveloped and contains the western extent of SR -60 in Beaumont. The area north of SR -60 is protected open space and part of the Western Riverside County MSHCP. San Timoteo Creek runs through this site. The area to the south of SR -60 is currently undeveloped and has topographical constraints. Access is limited to the eastern end of the subarea from Jack Rabbit Trail. This subarea is entirely in the Sphere of Influence, and thus, is governed by the County of Riverside General Plan.
The designation for the area north of SR -60 is Open Space and south of SR -60 is Rural Residential (1 acre lots).
The subarea strategies include preserving San Timoteo Creek and its 100 -year flood plain as an open space resource, and to work with property owners of the southern portion of the subarea to development plans compliant with the Western Riverside County MSHCP. A specific plan is encouraged.
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for the City of Beaumont. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan Policy 3.1.6 that preserves and protects natural open space areas in south and southwest Beaumont and its sphere of influence, as defined by the Land Use Element contained in the General Plan; Policy 3.4.7 to encourage the continued expansion of the City's industrial districts to accommodate economic development and growth; and Policy
3.11.8 to work with Riverside County and adjacent cities, landowners, and conservation organizations to preserve, protect, and enhance open space and natural resources consistent with the MSHCP.
Zoning Consistency:
The subject properties are currently located in unincorporated Riverside County and have no zoning designation in the City. As part of the project proposal, the applicant is requesting that the property be pre -zoned to specific plan that is accompanied by the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan (Attachment M).
The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan will function as the zoning document for the project area and establishes the land use plan, planning areas, permitted, conditional and ancillary uses, development standards, design guidelines and implementation requirements that guide the future development of the site.
SB330 No Net Loss
On October 9, 2019, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 330 (SB330) which, among other things, adopted Government Code Section 66300, declared a housing crisis in the State of California and imposed certain requirements designed to streamline the construction of new housing, and prevent the loss of existing housing and land available for future residential use, unless replaced in other areas of the affected jurisdiction to ensure no net loss in residential capacity. SB330 became effective on January 1, 2020.
In an effort to comply with SB330 the City established a No Net Loss Program in August of 2021. This program provides, concurrent with the approval of any change in zone from a residential use to a less intensive or non-residential use, a density bonus will become available to project applicants seeking to develop property for residential use within the City. In doing so, the Program will ensure that there is no net loss of residential capacity within the City as required by SB330.
The proposed project is requesting a change in land use designation from Rural Residential (1 acre min.) to Industrial, General Commercial and Open Space. The current County of Riverside zoning is W-2 (Controlled Development) with a one (1) acre minimum lot size to a non-residential specific plan. However, the proposed change is not subject to SB330 and is not required to comply with the program as it is outside of the City's jurisdiction and outside of the urbanized area. Additionally, Government Code Section 66300(f)(4) provides that no net loss provisions do not apply in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ). More than half of the proposed project is located within the VHFHSZ.
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) (see Attachment A) has been prepared to examine the potential environmental effects of the proposed projects and its alternatives. The proposed Annexation, General Plan Amendment, Pre -Zone, Specific Plan, Tentative Parcel Map and FEIR have now been completed and the formal public review and hearing process has commenced. The DEIR was circulated for a 45 -day public review and comment period on December 22, 2022. The conclusion of the review period occurred on February 8, 2022.
The environmental consultant prepared responses to any comments made during the public review of the DEIR. The responses to the comments and any associated changes or additions to the DEIR will then be compiled into a final EIR (see Attachment B) for the City Council's consideration along with the Mitigation Monitoring Plan, Findings of Fact (see Attachment J), and Statement of Overriding Considerations (see Attachment 1).
The DEIR addresses several potential issues associated with the project, including aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, noise, public service, traffic and utilities.
Mitigation measures proposed for many of the impacts are summarized in Section 1 (Executive Summary) of the DEIR (see Attachment G). All impacts of the Project can be mitigated to less than significant levels with the exception of air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation.
Prior to the preparation of the DEIR, the City circulated a Notice of Preparation (NOP) from September 7, 2022, to October 6, 2022, and a public scoping meeting was held during the 30 -day public review period, on September 17, 2022, at 6:00 PM at the Beaumont Civic Center.
In addition to the proposed project, the DEIR analyzed five (5) project alternatives:
Section 6.2.1 No Project/No Development, Section 6.2.2 Existing City General Plan Alternative, Section 6.2.3 Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative, Section
6.2.4 Reduced Intensity Alternative, and Section 6.2.5 Truck Storage Yard Alternative.
Each of these alternatives are discussed in detail in Section 6 of the DEIR (see Attachment G).
Despite a number of project design features and mitigation measures that serve to reduce the environmental impact of the project to less than significant, the DEIR has
found that there will be impacts to the environment concerning air quality, greenhouse gas, noise and transportation that cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
Air Quality
The project would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan and has been found to be inconsistent with:
• Threshold A - Consistency Criterion No.1 identifies that the project's regional construction -source emissions would exceed the applicable regional threshold for emissions of VOC's and NOx.
• Threshold A - Consistency Criterion No. 2 states that the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) does not reflect the proposed land use designation and there is a potential for the project to exceed air quality impact assumptions in the AQMP or increments based on the years of project build -out phase.
Mitigation Measures would be required and are identified as MM 4.3-1 through MM 4.3-17, as shown in Attachment J.
• Threshold B — The project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. • The project would result in cumulatively considerable air quality impacts for construction (NOx) and operational regional emissions for VOC, NOx, CO, PMio and PM2.5.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Threshold A of the Green House Emissions section of the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations states that the project would generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that would have a significant impact on the environment (see Attachment I).
• Project GHG emissions will result in a total of approximately 63,911.07 MT CO2e per year, which would exceed the 3,000 MTCO2e per year threshold. • The Project applicant proposes the Project Design Features (PDFs) 8-1 through PDF 8-5 and Mitigation Measures MM 4.3-3 through MM 4.3-17 and MM 4.8-1 (see Attachment J) that would reduce the emissions to 60,638.09 MT CO2e per year.
Threshold B states that the project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. • The project's long-term operational GHG emissions would exceed the City's significance threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. A significant GHG impact would occur as a result of the proposed Project. The Project is required to comply with Mitigation Measures MM 4.3-3 through 4.3-17 and MM 4.8-1, which
would reduce impacts to the extent feasible, however, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable (see Attachment J).
Cumulative impacts would result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to GHG emissions.
Noise
Threshold A of the Noise section of the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations state that the project would generate a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels from off -site traffic -related noise in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies.
The Project would result in a significant impact from off -site traffic -related noise at four roadway segments (#1, #4, #5, and #6) due to the added Project traffic. Therefore, the project -related off -site traffic noise level increases at adjacent noise -sensitive land uses are considered a significant impact.
The project's contribution to off -site traffic noise would result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels and Project -related impacts on the following road segments would be significant:
• Potrero Boulevard south of Oak Valley Parkway (Segment #1). o Project Increment Increase of 1.6 dBA, which is over the threshold of 1.0 dBA.
• 4t" Street east of Potrero Boulevard. (Segment #4).
o Project Increment of 5.8 dBA, which is over the threshold of 1.0 dBA • 4t" Street east of Veile Avenue (Segment #5).
o Project Increment of 6.5 dBA, which is over the threshold of 1.0 dBA • 4t" Street west of Potrero Boulevard. (Segment #6).
o Project Increment of 21.2 dBA, which is over the threshold of 0.0 dBA (DEIR pp. 4.13-29 to 4.13-34)
The project would generate a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels from off -site traffic -related noise in the vicinity of the Project in excess of standards under cumulative conditions. No feasible mitigation measures exist to reduce or eliminate Project traffic noise impact and impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.
Transportation
Threshold B indicates that the project would conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b). The Project would result in a significant VMT impact. The Project is required to comply with Mitigation Measure MM 4.17-1, which would reduce impacts to the extent feasible; however, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.
The Project would result in a significant project generated VMT impact if the following condition is met:
• Baseline project generated VMT per service population (SP) exceeds 3% below the City of Beaumont current average VMT per service population. The City's current average VMT per service population is 27.87.
The project would result in a cumulative VMT impact since the Project was found to have a significant and unavoidable impact at the project level. The Project's baseline VMT per SP is 39.19, which would exceed the City's current VMT per service population by 45%.
The Project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure MM 4.17-1 to reduce VMT, including car/vanpool program with preferred parking; bike lockers and secure bike racks; preferential parking spaces for car -share, carpool, and ultra -low or zero emission vehicles; and installation of electric vehicle charging stations. However, for the reasons set for in Section 5.4.1, even with implementation of all feasible mitigation measures, impacts would not be substantially lessened and would remain significant and unavoidable.
With the adoption of Senate Bill (SB) 743, the State of California changed the method of traffic analysis required through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for publicly and privately initiated projects. The law changed the way local jurisdictions analyze transportation impacts from development projects and identify mitigation measures to reduce those impacts. SB 743 became effective on July 1, 2020. The previous practice of evaluating traffic transportation impacts used road congestion and delay or level of service (LOS) to determine mitigation measures. SB 743 requires the amount of driving and length of trips — as measured by "vehicle miles traveled" or VMT — be used to assess transportation impacts on the environment for CEQA review. These impacts will be reduced or "mitigated" by options such as Transportation Demand Management (TDM), increasing transit options, or providing for active transportation such as walking and biking. Due to the changes in analysis required by SB743, there are no mitigation measures required through the CEQA process.
The City of Beaumont realized the change to VMT analysis as part of CEQA would greatly reduce the City's ability to require mitigation for traffic impacts. So, as part of the General Plan Update, the City retained the right to analyze Level of Service (LOS) in addition to VMT, and to require mitigation accordingly.
General Plan Goal 4.1.2: Maintain LOS D on all auto -priority streets in Beaumont. LOS E is considered acceptable on non -auto -priority streets: Through payment of fair share fees and construction of improvements, the project is consistent with GP Goal 4.1.2.
General Plan Goal 4.6.1: Prioritize goods movement along specific routes in the city, consistent with the adopted layered network, to foster efficient freight logistics: The project will utilize the truck priority network for accessing regional routes to and from the City. GP Implementation Strategy M3 specifies TDM Plan Requirements which will be required as part of the plot plan review process.
General Plan Goal 4.6.2: Minimize or restrict heavy vehicle traffic near sensitive areas such as schools, parks, and neighborhoods: The project is constructed in an area which is industrial in nature, with a minimum of 1,000ft from the nearest sensitive receptors.
Utilizing the truck priority network will restrict heavy vehicles from driving through neighborhoods or other near areas containing sensitive receptors.
The project will also be responsible for paying its fair share for other necessary area - wide traffic improvements by paying the City's Development Impact Fees (DIF) and the Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF).
The complete list of mitigation measures for Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, Noise and Transportation along with the other sections analyzed in the DEIR can be found in the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program as an Attachment J.
The City will need to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations on these specific air quality, greenhouse gas, noise and transportation impacts identified in the DEIR in order to certify the final EIR. Responses to the public comments on the DEIR are provided in the Final EIR (see Attachment H).
During the DEIR 45 -day public review and comment period beginning December 22, 2022, and ending February 8, 2023, the City received numerous comments from area residents, public agencies and private firms for a total of 13 letters. Copies of all correspondence and responses related to the 45 -day public review have been provided were provided to the Planning Commission in the Final Environmental Impact Report, shown as Attachment G to this staff report.
At the January 10, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held and testimony taken. The Planning Commission, on a 4-1 vote, forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
Public Communications Received:
At the March 19, 2024, Council meeting, a total of seventeen (17) public comments were received (in person and in writing). Comments received prior to the City Council meeting on March 19, 2024, are included as Attachment Q. Comments received since the first meeting are included as Attachment Q(a).

Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Executive Summary
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
As stated by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15002, the basic purposes of CEQA are to:
• Inform governmental decision makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed activities involving discretionary government actions (including the approval of development projects);
• Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; • Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds the changes to be feasible; and
• Disclose to the public the reasons why a governmental agency approved the project in the manner the agency chose if significant environmental effects are involved.
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is an informational document prepared in compliance with CEQA that informs government decision -makers and the public in general about potentially significant environmental impacts that could result from a project. This EIR represents the independent judgment of the City of Beaumont (as the CEQA Lead Agency) and presents an objective evaluation of the physical environmental effects that could result from constructing and operating the proposed Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan project (the "Project").
Hereafter when the term "Project" is used in this EIR with the initial letter capitalized, the term shall mean all aspects of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan's planning, construction, and operation; and all associated legislative, discretionary, and administrative approvals and permits required by law of public agencies. When the term "Project Applicant" is used with the initial letters capitalized, the term shall mean JRT BP 1, LLC, which is the entity that submitted applications to the City of Beaumont to entitle the Project site as proposed and as evaluated in this EIR.
Governmental approvals requested from the City of Beaumont by the Project Applicant to implement the Project include a General Plan Amendment (GPA; PLAN2019-0284); Pre -zoning (PLAN2019- 0283); Adoption of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan; Sign Program; Tentative Parcel Map No. 82551; Pre -Annexation and Development Agreement (DA; No. 01-2017); approval by the City and LAFCO of annexation to the City of Beaumont and approval by BCVWD and LAFCO of annexation to the Beaumont -Cherry Valley Water District; and Minor Amendment to the MSHCP. All other related discretionary and administrative actions that are required of the City of Beaumont and other public agencies and entities to construct and operate the Project described in this EIR also are Lead Agency: City of Beaumont SCH No. 2020099007
■ ■ Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
■ D Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Executive Summary
considered part of the Project evaluated herein. Approvals and permits required of other agencies that are currently known to be needed in order to implement the Project are listed in Section 3.0, Project Description.
The City of Beaumont has determined that an EIR is required for this Project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(a), when a lead agency can determine that an EIR will be required for a project, an Initial Study is not required. An Initial Study was not prepared for this Project, however, the City of Beaumont has determined that implementation of the Project has the potential to result in significant environmental effects, and a Project EIR, as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, is required. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, a Project EIR should "...focus primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development project," and "...examine all phases of the project including planning, construction, and operation." Accordingly, and in conformance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15121(a), the purposes of this EIR are to: (1) disclose information by informing public agency decision makers and the public generally of the significant environmental effects associated with all phases of the Project, (2) identify possible ways to minimize or avoid those significant effects, and (3) to describe a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project that would feasibly attain most of the basic Project objectives but would avoid or substantially lessen its significant environmental effects.
1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
1.2.1 LOCATION AND REGIONAL SETTING
The 539.9 -acre Project site is located in unincorporated Riverside County at the western edge of the City and in the City's SOI. The City is located east of the City of Moreno Valley and unincorporated Riverside County, west of the City of Banning and unincorporated Riverside County, north of the City of San Jacinto and unincorporated Riverside County, and south of the City of Calimesa and unincorporated Riverside County. The Project site is situated astride the regional transportation network which connects the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, both major gateways for international trade, to the Inland Empire and the Western United States. State Highway (SR -60) Freeway abuts the Project site to the north, Interstate 10 (I-10) is located approximately 1.5 miles to the north of the site, and Interstate 79 (I-79) is located approximately 1.5 miles to the east of the site.
The Project site is located west of Jack Rabbit Trail and south of SR -60, as illustrated on Figure 3-2, Vicinity Map.

■ ■ Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
■ D Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Executive Summary
over the approximately 539.9 -acre Project site. The Project would achieve this goal through the following Project Objectives:
A: Develop large land areas in the City and particularly south of SR -60 and adjacent to existing industrial uses, infrastructure, and truck routes to meet the growing demand for large scale industrial and warehouse development in the City while minimizing impacts of industrial development on residential and other sensitive receptors in the City, which are primarily located north of SR -60.
B: Providing for conservation of open space habitat within MSHCP criteria cells in a manner consistent with the MSHCP requirements and providing access for wildlife movement to Caltrans constructed and proposed wildlife under -crossings along the SR -60 Freeway that abut the northern Project boundary to accommodate wildlife movement.
C: Maximizing opportunities to develop land in the City's sphere of influence to provide job opportunities and economic benefit to the City and its residents, including new sales and property tax revenues that can be used for City services and providing sufficient fiscal benefit to permit annexation of the Project site into the City.
D: Creating new job opportunities within the City of Beaumont which improves the jobs to housing balance within the City and reduces the need for members of the existing local workforce to commute long distances.
E: Fulfilling a need in the City and region wellness -based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants.
F: Developing a center that will accommodate a variety of future tenants, including light manufacturing, warehouse, distribution tenants and other businesses that rely on transportation efficiency within an industrial corridor in a location with superior access to the local and regional transportation network, thereby minimizing truck traffic on local streets and reducing vehicle miles traveled in the region.
G: Developing a project that utilizes existing investment in capital improvements for water, reclaimed water, sewer, storm drain and circulation facilities to further the planned development of land in the City and in its sphere of influence.
H: Developing a range of warehouse facility options, such as varying structure sizes and building configurations within the City with high quality businesses to facilitate local and regional distribution of goods while minimizing vehicle miles traveled, air quality and greenhouse gas impacts.
I: Minimizing the demand for water resources by creating a development -wide landscape concept that features drought -tolerant plant materials to provide for an aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment and developing a project where recycled water is planned to be available.

1.2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
The Project Applicant, JRT BP 1 LLC, proposes to entitle and develop the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project described below (Project) on a 539.9 -acre undeveloped site (Project site or site) located in unincorporated Riverside County, California (County) in the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of the City of Beaumont (City). The Project would allow for the development on the Project site of a maximum of 246,000 square feet (sf) of general commercial uses in addition to a 125 -room hotel (90,000 sf) and a maximum of 4,995,000 sf of industrial uses. The Project would provide 124.7 acres of open space to accommodate landscaped manufactured slopes, fuel modification areas, and natural open space as a buffer to adjacent conservation area and 152.4 acres of open space — conservation. The Project would conserve a total of 230.82 acres of lands that would support the function of Proposed Core 3 consistent with the MSHCP goals of providing live-in habitat and facilitating movement, including 152.42 acres on -site and 78.40 acres off -site. Associated improvements to the Project site would include, but are not limited to, paved roads, paved parking areas, drive aisles, truck courts, utility infrastructure, landscaping, water quality basins, signage, lighting, property walls, gates, and fencing, including perimeter fencing for the Project site.
The Project is primarily defined by the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan. The Specific Plan is also available for review at the City of Beaumont Planning Division at the address above. The Specific Plan identifies ten (10) Planning Areas (PAs), of which two (2) are identified and zoned for General Commercial uses (PAs 1 and 2), six (6) are identified and zoned for Industrial uses (PAs 3 through 8), and the remaining two PAs are identified and zoned for Open Space (PA 9) and Open Space — Conservation (PA 10). Refer to EIR Section 3.0, Project Description, for a detailed description of the Project.
1.3 AREAS OF CONTROVERSY AND ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED

M❑ Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Executive Summary
1.3.1 PUBLIC SCOPING MEETING
A NOP for the Project was released for public review on September 7, 2020, and an EIR Scoping Meeting was held on September 17, 2020 at the Beaumont City Hall. Refer to Table 2-2, Summary of NOP and Scoping Meeting Comments, for comments received during the NOP review period.
1.4 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
In compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, an EIR must describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the Project or to the location of the Project. Each alternative must be able to feasibly attain most of the Project's objectives and avoid or substantially lessen the Project's significant effects on the environment. A detailed description of each alternative evaluated in this EIR, as well as an analysis of the potential environmental impacts associated with each alternative, is provided in EIR Section 6.0, Alternatives. Also described in Section 6.0 is a list of alternatives that were considered but rejected from further analysis. The alternatives considered by this EIR include those listed below.
1.4.1 No PROJECT/NO DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE
The No Project/No Development Alternative assumes that no development or improvements would occur on the Project site and the entire 539.9 -acre site would remain vacant and undeveloped. This alternative was selected by the City as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(3)(B) to compare the environmental effects of the Project with an alternative that would leave the Project site in its existing condition (as described in EIR Section 3.0).
1.4.2 EXISTING CITY GENERAL PLAN ALTERNATIVE
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(3)(A), the No Project - Existing General Plan Alternative considers development of the Project site with land uses that are consistent with the existing City of Beaumont General Plan land use designation. The City of Beaumont General Plan designates the Project site as Rural Residential 1 which permits one single-family dwelling per one acre lot. The General Plan further anticipates that buildout of the Rural Residential 1 land use in the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI) would consist of up to 383 dwelling units. Accordingly, the Existing City General Plan Alternative considers a residential development of up to 383 single family units on the Project site. Under this alternative, the Project site would be graded within approximately the same boundaries as the limit of grading for the Project in order to create residential one acre lots.
1.4.3 REDUCED DEVELOPMENT AREA AND INTENSITY ALTERNATIVE The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative was selected to reduce impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in an overall 50% reduction of non -hotel, commercial development within Planning Areas 1 and 2 and an overall reduction of 995,000 sf of industrial development. The reduction in industrial development would occur by eliminating 995,000 sf in Planning Area 8 and expanding Planning Area 7 to allow an additional 305,000 sf (update to 905,000 sf) of industrial development. Overall, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would allow for up Lead Agency: City of Beaumont SCH No. 2020099007
■ ■ Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
■ u Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Executive Summary
to 123,000 sf of commercial development, a 125 -room hotel, and 4,000,000 sf of industrial development. Additionally, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in a considerable reduction in grading activities (eliminating approximately 3 million cubic yards of cut and fill)
1.4.4 REDUCED INTENSITY ALTERNATIVE
The Reduced Intensity Alternative was selected to reduce impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. The Reduced Intensity Alternative would consider development of the Project site with a 10% reduction in industrial and commercial development. Under this alternative, the Project would allow for 4,495,500 sf of industrial development, 221,400 sf of commercial development, and a 125 -room hotel. The development impact area would generally remain the same as the Project. Access to the site would be the same with a proportional reduction in the number of parking spaces.
1.4.5 TRUCK STORAGE YARD ALTERNATIVE
The Truck Storage Yard Alternative was selected to reduce impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would be the same as the Project except that it would replace the warehouse building in Planning Area 8 (approximately 1,000,000 sf) with a truck storage and lay down yard. Overall, the Project would allow for up to 246,000 sf of commercial development, a 125 -room hotel, 4,000,000 sf of industrial development, and a truck storage yard. The grading quantities and phases would be the same as the Project.
1.5 SUMMARY OF IMPACT, MITIGATION, AND LEVELS OF IMPACT Table 1-1, Summary of Impacts, Mitigation, and Levels of Impact, presents a summary of the environmental impacts resulting from the Project. The potential direct, indirect impacts, and cumulative impacts for all environmental topical areas are addressed in Sections 4.1 through 4.20 of this EIR. Growth -inducing impacts and significant irreversible environmental changes are addressed in Section 5.0, Other CEQA Considerations.
1.6 MITIGATION MONITORING
State law requires the preparation of a mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) to ensure that measures that would avoid or lessen significant environmental effects of the project are adopted as conditions of approval for the project. The mitigation measures identified in this EIR have been described in sufficient detail to provide the necessary information to identify the party or parties responsible for carrying out the mitigation, when the mitigation will be implemented, and why the mitigation has been required. An MMRP would be adopted by the City at the time of Project approval.

In summary, the content and format of this EIR is as follows:
• Section 1.0, Executive Summary includes a Project introduction; a brief description of the Project; a summary of the areas of controversy/issues to be resolved; a description of the Project alternatives; and a summary of the Project's environmental impacts, mitigation measures, and significance of impacts following the application of mitigation measures, project design features, and mandatory compliance with applicable plans, policies, and programs pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15123.
• Section 2.0, Introduction and Purpose, provides introductory information about the CEQA process and the responsibilities of the City, serving as the Lead Agency of this EIR. This section identifies the Project's potential environmental impacts and effects found not to be significant. This section also Lead Agency: City of Beaumont SCH No. 2020099007
■ ■ Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
■ D Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Introduction and Purpose includes a description of the Notice of Preparation comments received, a description of the document format, as well as the purpose of CEQA and this EIR.
• Section 3.0, Project Description, serves as the EIR's Project Description for purposes of CEQA and contains a level of specificity commensurate with the level of detail proposed by the Project. This section also describes the environmental setting, including descriptions of the Project site's physical conditions and surrounding context used as the baseline for analysis in this EIR. • Section 4.0, Environmental Analysis, provides an analysis of potential direct, indirect, and cumulatively -considerable impacts that may occur with implementation of the Project. A conclusion concerning significance is reached for each discussion; mitigation measures are presented as warranted. The environmental changes identified in Section 4.0 and throughout this EIR are referred to as "effects" or "impacts" interchangeably. The CEQA Guidelines also identify the terms "effects" and "impacts" as being synonymous (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358). In the environmental analysis subsections of Section 4.0, the environmental setting and existing baseline conditions are disclosed that are pertinent to the subject area being analyzed, accompanied by a specific analysis of physical impacts that may be caused by implementation of the proposed Project. The analyses are based in part upon technical reports that are appended to this EIR. Information also is drawn from other sources of analytical materials that directly or indirectly relate to the proposed Project and are cited in Section
7.0, References. Where the analysis demonstrates that a physical adverse environmental effect may or would occur without undue speculation after compliance with mandatory federal, State, regional, and local laws and regulations, feasible mitigation measures are recommended to reduce or avoid the significant effect. In most cases, mandatory compliance with regulatory requirements and/or the implementation of the identified mitigation measures would reduce the Project's adverse environmental impacts to below a level of significance. If mitigation measures are not available or feasible to reduce an identified impact to below a level of significance, the environmental effect is identified as a significant and unavoidable adverse impact, for which a statement of overriding considerations would need to be adopted by the City pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093.
Section 4.0 is organized by 20 issue areas (Subsections 4.1 through 4.20) for each environmental issue area with each following the below framework:
o Environmental Setting. Describes the environmental setting, including descriptions of the Project site's physical conditions, surrounding context, and applicable plans and policies applicable to the environmental issue area. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15125, the baseline environmental conditions for purposes of establishing the setting of an EIR is normally the environment as it existed at the time the EIR's Notice of Preparation (NOP) was circulated for public review. Therefore, the existing setting is defined as the condition of the Project site and surrounding area at the approximate date this EIR's NOP was released for public review on September 4, 2020.
o Notice of Preparation/Scoping Comments. Includes public comments received based on this EIR's NOP and Scoping Meeting.

• ❑ Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Introduction and Purpose o Regulatory Framework. This section describes the existing federal, state, regional, and local plans, programs, and regulations pertinent to the Project for the environmental issue area addressed.
o Thresholds of Significance. In accordance with Section 15064.7 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The City's local CEQA Guidelines are based on the CEQA checklist included in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines and may have been modified to address specific conditions in Beaumont.
o Impact Analysis. As required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(a), this EIR identifies direct, indirect, cumulatively -considerable, short-term, long-term, on -site, and/or off -site impacts of the proposed Project. A summarized "impact statement" is provided in each subsection following the analysis.
o Cumulative Impact Analysis. CEQA requires that an EIR contain an assessment of the cumulative impacts that may be associated with a proposed Project. As noted in CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(a), "an EIR shall discuss cumulative impacts of a project when the project's incremental effect is cumulatively considerable." Cumulatively considerable is defined to mean "that the incremental effects of an individual project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects." (CEQA Guidelines Section 15065.) A cumulative impact consists of an impact which is created as a result of the combination of the project evaluated in the EIR together with other projects creating related impacts" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(a)(1)). This section analyzes the Project's cumulative impacts. o Significance of Impacts before Mitigation. This section provides a conclusion of the level of significance before mitigation.
o Mitigation Measures. These include the measures proposed to mitigate any potentially significant Project impacts.
o Significance of Impacts After Mitigation. Concludes whether or not the Project's direct and cumulative impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of mitigation.
• Section 5.0, Additional Topics Required by CEQA, includes specific topics that are required by CEQA. These include a summary of the Project's significant and unavoidable environmental effects, a discussion of the significant environmental effects which cannot be avoided if the Project is implemented, significant environmental changes, and potential growth -inducing impacts of the proposed Project. .
• Section 6.0, Project Alternatives, describes and evaluates alternatives to the proposed Project that could reduce or avoid the Project's adverse environmental effects. CEQA does not require an EIR to consider every conceivable alternative to the Project but rather to consider a reasonable range of Lead Agency: City of Beaumont SCH No. 2020099007

Three alternatives were rejected from further analysis, including Alternative Sites. Five alternatives were considered for analysis and all five alternatives including the No Project Alternative are analyzed and presented as a reasonable range of alternatives in Section 6.0.
• Section 7.0, References, cites all reference sources used in preparing this EIR. • Section 8.0, List of Preparers, lists the persons who authored or participated in preparing this EIR, including agencies and persons consulted.
• Technical Appendices. CEQA Guidelines Section 15147 states that the "information contained in an EIR shall include summarized information sufficient to permit full assessment of significant environmental impacts by reviewing agencies and members of the public," and that the "placement of highly technical and specialized analysis and data in the body of an EIR shall be avoided." Therefore, the detailed technical studies, reports, and supporting documentation that were used in preparing this EIR are bound separately as Technical Appendices. The Technical Appendices are available for review at the City Planning Department, 550 E. 61h Street, Beaumont, CA 92223, during the City's regular business hours or can be requested in electronic form by contacting the City's Planning Department or are available on the City's website at https://www.beaumontca.gov/1143/Beaumont-Pointe-Specific- Plan in the Planning Projects folder during the public review period for the EIR. The individual technical studies, reports, and supporting documentation that comprise the Technical Appendices are listed below in Section 2.5, Technical Reports.
2.2 PURPOSE OF CEQA AND THIS EIR
As stated by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(a), the basic purposes of CEQA are to:
• Inform governmental decision makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed development activities involving discretionary government approvals (including the approval of private development projects);
• Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; • Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds the changes to be feasible; and
• Disclose to the public the reasons why the governmental agency approved the project in the manner the agency chose (if the project involves significant environmental effects).
While it is the City Council's decision to certify this EIR, this EIR is an informational document that represents the independent judgment of the City regarding the physical environmental effects that could result from the construction and operation of the Project (see Public Resources Code Section 21082.1). The City received applications from JRT BP 1, LLC (hereafter "Project Applicant") for the development of the Beaumont Pointe Lead Agency: City of Beaumont SCH No. 2020099007
■ ■ Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
■ D Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Introduction and Purpose Specific Plan on approximately 539.9 gross acres. The subject property (hereafter, "Project site") is located in unincorporated County of Riverside ("County"), within the City's Sphere of Influence, south of I-60 and west of Jack Rabbit Trail. The Project would also require off -site utility infrastructure connections to the existing right-of-way of 4th Street, 350 feet east of the Project boundary.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, a Project EIR should "...focus primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development project," and "...examine all phases of the project including planning, construction, and operation." As the first step in the CEQA compliance process, the City prepared an NOP pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15082. When the Lead Agency determines that an EIR will clearly be required for the project, an Initial Study is not required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15063).
Since it was determined that the Project could have a significant effect on the environment, the Lead Agency determined that an EIR was required and an Initial Study was not prepared. Public comments were received on the NOP, and the EIR will address all environmental topics provided in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G and listed below in Section 2.9, Potential Impacts of the Project Discussed in the EIR.
2.3 REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT PROJECT
When an EIR is prepared for any project that is considered to be of statewide, regional, or area -wide significance, as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15206, then the Draft EIR must be submitted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH) and the appropriate metropolitan area council of governments for review and comment.
A project is considered to be of statewide, regional, or area -wide significance if, among other criteria, it consists of a proposed local general plan, element, or amendment thereof for which an EIR was prepared.
Accordingly, the Project is considered a Regionally Significant Project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15206, as it proposes an amendment to the City of Beaumont General Plan for which an EIR is being prepared.
Therefore, in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15206, the Draft EIR will be submitted to the SCH, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) for review and comment.
2.4 INCORPORATED DOCUMENTS
CEQA Guidelines Section 15150 allows for the incorporation "by reference, all or portions of another document which is a matter of public record or is generally available to the public... [and is] most appropriate for including long, descriptive, or technical materials that provide general background but do not contribute directly to the analysis of a problem at hand." Documents, analyses, and reports that are incorporated into this EIR by reference are listed below and are also found in Section 7.0, References, of this EIR. The purpose of incorporation by reference is to assist the Lead Agency in limiting the length of an EIR.
