However, while the commercial uses under the All -Commercial Alternative would construct regional shopping uses providing shopping and restaurants, it would not provide wellness -based retail, including recreation or hospitality, thereby only partially meeting Project Objective E: Fulfilling a need in the City and region for wellness -based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants. Furthermore, this alternative would not meet the following objectives:
• •Objective 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.
• Objective 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.
• Objective 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.
Additionally, the All -Commercial Alternative was rejected from further consideration because it would not reduce or eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts for air quality, GHG emissions, or VMT. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip rate for regional shopping centers (ITE 820), the All -Commercial Alternative would result in a substantial increase in vehicle trips in comparison to the Project. For example, a 750,000 square foot regional shopping center would generate 34,786 daily trips. Although this alternative would reduce truck trips, it would nearly double the Project's 16,266 daily trips resulting in a substantial increase in air quality emissions, GHG emissions, and transportation impacts. (see DEIR Technical Appendix P). (DEIR, pp. 6-5 to 6-8) Rural Residential Alternative
A Rural Residential Alternative was considered that assumed rural residential uses consistent with the County's existing General Plan and zoning designations. The Project site is designated as Rural Mountainous (RM) in the County of Riverside General Plan, which allows single-family residential uses with a minimum lot size of 10 acres. Based on Riverside County Ordinance No. 348, the Project site is zoned Controlled Development Areas with a minimum 20 -acre lot (W-2-20). Based on the County's existing general plan and zoning designations, the 539.9 -acre Project site would be allowed to develop up to 27 rural residential units. However, the Project site is not well suited to rural development in that it lacks potable groundwater and would require use of septic tanks, which is discouraged. Although water, sewer and roadway infrastructure is available at the easternmost portion of the site, the limited number of units that could be constructed would not be able to sustain the costs Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project

needed to develop roadways or to take the infrastructure connections across the site for these homestead type developments rendering such development infeasible. In addition, development of homes in very high and high severity fire hazard zones in such a dispersed development pattern significantly increases wildfire risk and is highly discouraged, and the amount of fuel modification required could also be difficult to achieve given the limited number of units that would be permitted. Additionally, this alternative would not meet any of the Project objectives. Therefore, this alternative was rejected from further consideration in the DEIR. (DEIR, p. 6-8)
7.4.2 ALTERNATIVES UNDER CONSIDERATION
A. No Project/No Development Alternative
❑ Finding
The No Project/No Development Alternative assumes that no development or improvements would occur on the Project site and the entire site would remain vacant and undeveloped. Under this alternative, no impact would occur and all significant and unavoidable impacts would be eliminated.
However, none of the Project Objectives would be met and environmental benefits from the Project would not be constructed. Thus, The City finds that each of the reasons set forth below is an independent ground for rejecting the No Project/No Development Alternative, and by itself, independent of any other reason, justifies rejection of the No Project/No Development Alternative, and hereby rejects the No Project/No Development Alternative. ❑ Substantial Evidence
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 DEIR Section 3.0).
The No Project/No Development Alternative would result in no physical environmental impacts to the Project site. All significant and unavoidable impacts of the Project would be eliminated by the selection of the No Project/No Development Alternative. However, this alternative would not receive the environmental benefits from the permanent conservation of 152.42 acres of natural habitat consistent with the MSHCP; implementation of stormwater drainage and water quality filtration features; and ignition resistant structures and other wildfire prevention protocols, parking areas, and irrigated landscaping within a HFHSZ and VHFHSZ that would be constructed by the Project. Specifically, drainage improvements or water quality features would not be installed and runoff would continue to flow northeast across the site to the 16 existing Caltrans maintained culverts, as it does under existing conditions. The four detention basins proposed under the Project, which remove pollutants from runoff and filter the water to meet water quality standards, would not occur. The No Project/No Development Alternative would not result in the removal of existing fuel sources or development of ignition resistant structures, parking areas, and irrigated landscaping within a VHFHSZ and HFHSZ, which reduces potential wildfire risks The No Project/No Development Alternative would also fail to meet all the Project Objectives, as described in DEIR Section 6.1.1.

B. Ex/sting City General Plan Alternative
❑ Finding
The No Project - Existing General Plan Alternative considers development of the Project site with residential development of up to 383 single family units on the Project site. Under this alternative, impacts related to aesthetics, construction -related air quality, GHG emissions, energy, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation, utilities and service systems, and some impacts from wildfire would be reduced and significant and unavoidable impacts related to operational -related air quality, off -site traffic -related noise, and transportation impacts would be eliminated. However, none of the Project Objectives would be met. Thus, The City finds that each of the reasons set forth above is an independent ground for rejecting the Existing City General Plan Alternative, and by itself, independent of any other reason, justifies rejection of the Existing City General Plan Alternative, and hereby rejects the Existing City General Plan Alternative. ❑ Substantial Evidence
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's General Plan land use designation. The City's 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 that the Project site would be annexed into the City for 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.
The Existing City General Plan Alternative would reduce the number of vehicle trips by 78% and associated VMT, which is calculated based on square footage/dwelling units and the types of use.
Therefore, implementation of the Existing General Plan Alternative would result in fewer impacts from construction -related air quality and GHG emissions that would occur from implementation of the Project. Under the Existing City General Plan Alternative, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 operational -related emissions would be reduced to approximately 29.78, 21.88, 27.45, and 8.11 pounds per day during summer and 28.26, 22.66, 27.45, and 8.11 pounds per day during winter, respectively (see Technical Appendix P of the DEIR). The South Coast AQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, PM1o, and PM2.5 are 55, 55, 150, and 55, respectively. Therefore, this alternative would eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable operational air quality emissions, and impacts under this alternative would be less than significant. Moreover, the Project would result in a net increase of 60,638.09 MTCO2e per year after the implementation of mitigation measures, which would be reduced to 5,131.02 MTCO2e per year under the Existing City General Plan Alternative. This alternative would still result in significant and unavoidable GHG impacts, since it would exceed the threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, GHG emissions impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, but reduced compared to the Project.

Operational noise impacts would be reduced under this alternative for both on -site stationary noise sources and off -site traffic -related noise, since residential uses do not generate significant stationary noise sources and truck trips would be eliminated. Therefore, the Existing City General Plan Alternative would eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable off -site traffic -related noise impacts that mainly occur due to truck trips, and impacts would be less than significant. As shown in DEIR Table 6-2, this alternative would also eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable VMT impact, and impacts would be less than significant (see Technical Appendix P of the DEIR).
The Existing City General Plan Alternative would reduce impacts related to aesthetics, construction - related air quality, GHG emissions, energy, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation, utilities and service systems, and some impacts from wildfire. By constructing ignition resistant buildings in a focused area, creating defensible space, and implementing vegetation management protocols, the Project would reduce the overall risk of wildfire spread on and off site while the development of homes in very high and high severity fire hazard zones in such a dispersed development pattern significantly increases wildfire risk, and the amount of fuel modification required could also be difficult to achieve given the limited number of units.
Additionally, this alternative would eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts related to operational -related air quality, off -site traffic -related noise, and transportation impacts. The Existing City General Plan Alternative would result in greater impacts related to population and housing, public services, and recreation compared to the Project. Impacts related to agricultural and forestry resources, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, and tribal cultural resources would be similar to the Project. The Existing City General Plan Alternative would also fail to meet all the Project Objectives, as described in DEIR Section 6.1.1. (DEIR, pp. 6-15 to 6-22)
C. Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative
❑ Finding
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in a development with overall 50% reduction of commercial portion within Planning Areas 1 and 2 and an overall reduction of 995,000 sf of industrial portion. Due to the reduction in square footage, development area, and vehicular trips, impacts related to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology, and soils, GHG emissions, hydrology and water quality, noise, public services, transportation, and tribal cultural resources would be reduced. Impacts related to population and housing, therefore, would be greater under this alternative compared to the Project due to the decrease in the jobs -housing ratio. Moreover, all significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would remain. The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would meet most of the basic objectives including Project Objectives A, B, and F -I. As compared with the Project, this alternative would not meet the Project Objectives C, D, and E to the same extent, due to a reduced industrial and commercial building square footage and proportional reduction in employees and economic benefit. Thus, the City finds that each of the reasons set forth above is an independent ground for rejecting the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative, Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project

and by itself, independent of any other reason, justifies rejection of the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative, and hereby rejects the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative. ❑ Substantial Evidence
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in an overall 50% reduction of 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 (up to 905,000 sf) of industrial development. Overall, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would allow for up to 123,000 sf of commercial development, a 125 -room hotel, and 4,000,000 sf of industrial development.
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative was selected to reduce impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. 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) which would result in the less construction -related air quality impact compared to the Project.
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would reduce the number of vehicle trips by approximately 15% and associated VMT, which is calculated based on square footage and the types of use. Under the Project, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.s emissions would be 44.52, 143.99, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 1; 160.65, 461.71, 195.00,
57.71 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 2; 188.63, 470.01, 236.44, 69.23 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 3; 43.22, 151.09, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 1; 155.69, 485.80, 195.00, 57.71 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 2; and 179.96, 494.43, 236.44, 69.23 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 3. Under the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions would be reduced to approximately 156.97, 327.60, 188.64, 54.78 pounds per day respectively during summer and 149.44, 344.82, 188.64, and 54.78 pounds per day respectively during winter, respectively (see Technical Appendix P of the DEIR). The South Coast AQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 are 55, 55, 150, and 55, respectively. Under this alternative, PM2.s emissions for both summer and winter would be reduced to a less than significant level, but the Project's operational air quality emissions for VOC, NOx, PM10 emissions would remain significant and unavoidable. Moreover, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in 48,007.58 MTCO2e per year of GHG emissions (approximately 83% mobile source) compared to the Project's 63,911.07 MTCO2e per year (approximately 80% mobile source) prior to the implementation of mitigation measures. This alternative would result in a reduction of GHG emissions by approximately 24.88% but would not avoid the Project's significant and unavoidable GHG impacts, since it would significantly exceed the threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, GHG emissions impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, but substantially lessened compared to the Project.

Operational noise would also be reduced under this alternative as traffic -generated and stationary noise sources would decrease in relation to the reduction in industrial and commercial square footage.
However, Project -related off -site traffic noise level increases are considered significant and unavoidable. Noise impacts from the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would remain significant and unavoidable but reduced compared to the Project.
Construction and operation -related vehicle truck trips would be reduced under the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative and Project trip generation would decrease vehicle trips by 15% from 16,266 trips -ends per day to 13,614 trips -ends per day. This would result in a corresponding decrease in overall VMT and proportional decrease in employees. As shown, in DEIR Table 6-4, Comparison of Project VMT to the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative, this alternative would also reduce VMT per service population by approximately 7% (from 39.19 to
36.45) compared to the Project (see DEIR Technical Appendix P). However, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would continue to exceed the City's baseline VMT threshold of 27.03 and impacts would remain significant and unavoidable but reduced when compared to the Project.
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in reduced impacts related to aesthetics, energy, hydrology and water quality, and public services, , due to the reduction in overall square footage, development area, and associated vehicular trips. Impacts related to biological resources, cultural resources, geology, and soils, and tribal cultural resources would be less than significant with mitigation and reduced compared to the Project. However, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would not be avoided but would be reduced from implementation of this alternative. In addition, this alternative would not achieve the maximum improvement in jobs housing ratio. Impacts related to population and housing, therefore, would be greater under this alternative compared to the Project due to the decrease in the jobs -housing ratio. Impacts related to agriculture and forestry resources, hazardous and hazardous materials, land use and planning, mineral resources, recreation, utilities and service systems, and wildfire would be similar to the Project.
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would meet most of the basic objectives including Project Objectives A, B, and F -I, as described in Section 6.1.1 of the DEIR. As compared with the Project, this alternative would not meet Project Objectives C and D, and would not meet Project Objective E to the same extent, due to a reduced industrial and commercial building square footage and proportional reduction in employees and economic benefit:
• Objective 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. • Objective D. Creating new job opportunities within the City of Beaumont to improve and maximize the jobs to housing balance within the City and reduces the need for members of the existing local workforce to commute long distances.

• Objective E. Fulfilling a need in the City and region for wellness based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants. (DEIR, pp. 6-22 — 6-30) D. Reduced intensityAiternative
❑ Finding
The Reduced Intensity Alternative would result in a development with 4,495,500 sf of industrial development, 221,400 sf of commercial development, and a 125 -room hotel. Under this alternative, impacts related to air quality, energy, GHG emissions, noise, public services, and utilities and service systems would be reduced due to the reduction in square footage and associated vehicular trips.
However, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would continue to occur from implementation of this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazardous and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, recreation, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire would be similar to the Project. The Reduced Intensity Alternative would meet most of the basic objectives including Project Objectives A, B, and F —I, as described in DEIR Section 6.1.1. As compared with the Project, this alternative would not meet Project Objectives C, D, and E to the same extent, due to the reduced industrial and commercial building square footage and proportional reduction in employees. Thus, The City finds that each of the reasons set forth above is an independent ground for rejecting the Reduced Intensity Alternative, and by itself, independent of any other reason, justifies rejection of the Reduced Intensity Alternative, and hereby rejects the Reduced Intensity Alternative.
❑ Substantial Evidence
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. The Reduced Intensity Alternative was selected to reduce significant impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation.
The Reduced Intensity Alternative would reduce the number of vehicle trips and associated VMT by 10%, which is calculated based on square footage and the types of use. Under the Reduced Intensity Alternative, the volume of VOC, NOx, PMIo, and PM2.5 emissions would be reduced to approximately 188.63, 468.14, 236.20, 69.01 pounds per day during summer and 180.30, 491.49, 236.20, and 69.01 pounds per day during winter, respectively (see DEIR Technical Appendix P). Under the Project, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions would be 44.52, 143.99, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 1; 160.65, 461.71, 195.00, 57.71 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 2; 188.63, 470.01, 236.44, 69.23 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 3; 43.22, 151.09, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 1; 155.69, 485.80, 195.00, 57.71 pounds per day during winter of Phase 2; and 179.96, 494.43, 236.44, 69.23 Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project

pounds per day during winter of Phase 3, respectively. The South Coast AQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 are 55, 55, 150, and 55, respectively. Therefore, this alternative would reduce the Project's operational air quality emissions, but all impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. The Project would result in approximately 63,911.07 MTCO2e per year (approximately 80% mobile source) with the implementation of PDFs and prior to the implementation of mitigation measures, which would be reduced by approximately 19.33% to 51,556.08 MTCO2e per year (approximately 84% mobile source) under the Reduced Intensity Alternative (see Technical Appendix P of the DEIR). However, the Project's significant and unavoidable GHG impacts would remain, since the alternative's GHG emissions would exceed the threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, GHG emissions impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, but substantially lessened compared to the Project.
As shown, in DEIR Table 6-6, Comparison of Project VMT to the Reduced Intensity Alternative, this alternative would slightly increase VMT per service population by approximately 1.61% (from 39.19 to 39.82) compared to the Project (see DEIR Technical Appendix P). Therefore, the Reduced Intensity Alternative would continue to exceed the City's baseline VMT threshold and impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, but similar compared to the Project.
Operational noise would also be reduced under this alternative as traffic -generated and stationary noise sources would decrease in relation to the reduction in industrial and commercial square footage.
However, Project -related off -site traffic -related noise level increases would remain significant and unavoidable. Noise impacts from the Reduced Intensity Alternative would remain significant and unavoidable for off -site traffic -related noise but reduced compared to the Project.
The Reduced Intensity Alternative would result in reduced impacts related to energy public services, and utilities and service systems due to the reduction in square footage and associated vehicular trips.
However, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would not be avoided or substantially lessened from implementation of this alternative.
Impacts related to aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, hazardous and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, recreation, and wildfire would be similar to the Project. Impacts related to biological resources, cultural resources, geology, and soils, and tribal cultural resources would be less than significant with mitigation, and similar compared to the Project.
The Reduced Intensity Alternative would meet most of the basic objectives including Project Objectives A, B, and F —I, as described in DEIR Section 6.1.1.

❑ Finding
The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would result in a development of up to 246,000 sf of commercial development, a 125 -room hotel, 4,000,000 sf of industrial development, and a truck storage yard for an approximately 20% decrease in total building square footage. Under this alternative, impacts related to air quality, energy, GHG emissions, noise, public services, and utilities and service systems would be reduced due to the reduction in square footage and associated vehicular trips. However, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would continue to occur from implementation of this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazardous and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, recreation, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire would be similar to the Project; and impacts related to population and housing would be greater compared to the Project.

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 for an approximately 20% decrease in total building square footage. It is assumed that the truck storage yard would be an ancillary use to one of the adjacent industrial warehouse buildings. The Truck Storage Yard Alternative was selected to reduce impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation. The grading quantities and phases would be the same as the Project. The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would reduce the number of vehicle trips. Trip generation is calculated based on square footage and the types of use. The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would result in a total of 14,136 vehicle trips, compared to the Project's 16,266 trips (see DEIR Technical Appendix P).
The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would reduce the number of vehicle trips by 13% and associated VMT, which is calculated based on square footage and the types of use. Under the Project, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.s emissions would be 44.52, 143.99, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 1; 160.65, 461.71, 195.00, 57.71 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 2; 188.63, 470.01, 236.44, 69.23 pounds per day respectively during summer of Phase 3; 43.22, 151.09, 50.89, 15.25 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 1; 155.69, 485.80, 195.00, 57.71 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 2; and 179.96, 494.43, 236.44, 69.23 pounds per day respectively during winter of Phase 3, respectively. Under the Truck Storage Yard Alternative, the volume of VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions would be reduced to approximately 162.47, 322.85, 196.97, 57.09 pounds per day respectively during summer and 154.16, 350.34, 196.98, and 57.10 pounds per day respectively during winter, respectively. The South Coast AQMD thresholds for VOC, NOx, PM10, and PM2.s are 55, 55, 150, and 55, respectively. Therefore, this alternative would not reduce the Project's operational air quality emissions to a less than significant level and a significant unavoidable air quality impact would remain. Moreover, the Project would result in approximately 63,911.07 MTCO2e per year (approximately 80% mobile source) with the implementation of PDFs prior to the implementation of mitigation measures, which would be reduced by approximately 23.87% to 48,655.28 MTCO2e per year (approximately 83% mobile source) under the Truck Storage Yard Alternative. This alternative would still result in significant and unavoidable GHG impacts, since it would exceed the threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, GHG emissions impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, but substantially lessened compared to the Project.
Operational noise would also be reduced under this alternative as traffic -generated and stationary noise sources would decrease in relation to the reduction in industrial square footage. However, Project - related off -site traffic noise level increases are considered significant and unavoidable. Noise impacts from the Truck Storage Yard Alternative would remain significant and unavoidable but reduced compared to the Project.
As shown, in DEIR Table 6-8, Comparison of Project VMT to the Truck Storage Yard Alternative, this alternative would result in a slight increase VMT per service population by 1.76% (from 39.19 to
39.88) compared to the Project (see DEIR Technical Appendix P). Therefore, the Truck Yard Alternative would continue to exceed the City's baseline VMT threshold and impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, and similar to the Project.

0.93 to 0.88 under buildout year plus project conditions, creating a greater jobs -housing imbalance as compared to the Project, and would impede the project objective of maximizing the opportunity of increasing the jobs housing balance. Overall, impacts to population and housing would remain less than significant with this alternative, but would be greater than the Project.
The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would result in reduced impacts related to air quality, energy, GHG emissions, noise, public services, and utilities and service systems due to the reduction in square footage and associated vehicular trips. However, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would not avoid or substantially lessened from implementation of this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazardous and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, recreation, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire would be similar to the Project; and impacts related to population and housing would be greater compared to the Project. The Truck Storage Yard Alternative would meet most of the basic objectives including Project Objectives, A, B, and E —I, as described in DEIR Section
6.1.1. As compared with the Project, this alternative would not meet the Project Objectives C and D to the same extent, due to the reduced industrial and commercial building square footage and proportional reduction in employees and would not maximize opportunities to create jobs within the City, which are core components of Objectives C and D:
• Objective 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. • Objective D. Creating new job opportunities within the City of Beaumont to improve and maximize the jobs to housing balance within the City and reduces the need for members of the existing local workforce to commute long distances. (DEIR, pp. 6-37 — 6-44)
7.4.3 ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE
The City finds as follows with respect to selection of an environmentally superior alternative and, in accordance with Section 15126.5 of the CEQA Guidelines selects the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative as the environmentally superior alternative. In addition to the discussion and comparison of impacts of a proposed project and the alternatives, Section 15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an "environmentally superior" alternative be selected and the reasons for such a selection disclosed. In general, the environmentally superior alternative is the alternative that would be expected to generate the least amount of adverse impacts.
Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project
Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines states if the No project Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, then the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives.
The No Project/No Development Alternative has the least impact to the environment because it would not involve any construction activities or commercial/industrial operations. There would be no impacts associated with a cumulatively considerable increase of VOC, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 during construction and operation, and no cumulative impacts related to GHG emissions, off -site traffic - related noise, and VMT. These impacts are considered significant and unavoidable for the Project.
While this alternative would avoid the significant effects of the Project, it would not receive the environmental benefits from conservation of 152.42 acres of natural habitat; implementation of stormwater drainage and water quality filtration features; and ignition resistant structures, parking areas, and irrigated landscaping within a VHFHSZ and HFHSZ that would be constructed by the Project. Additionally, none of the Project Objectives would be met.
The Existing City General Plan Alternative would eliminate the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts related to operational -related air quality, off -site traffic -related noise, and transportation impacts. However, the Existing City General Plan Alternative would result in greater impacts related to population and housing, public services, and recreation compared to the Project due to the increase in residents. Additionally, none of the Project Objectives would be met.
The Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative is environmentally superior to the Project because the alternative reduces the commercial and industrial square footage of the Project the most (non -hotel commercial square footage by 50% and the industrial square footage of the Project by approximately 20%) and also reduces the development footprint, with resulting reductions in grading, construction and off -site vehicular travel. As shown in DEIR Table 6-9, Comparison of Alternatives and Project -related Environmental Impacts, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would result in reduced impacts related to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, GHG emissions, hydrology and water quality, noise, public services, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems, due to the reduction in overall square footage, development area, and associated vehicular trips. Despite the reductions to the Project scope under this alternative, significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, GHG emissions, noise, and transportation would be reduced but would continue to occur from implementation of this alternative. Impacts related to population and housing would be greater under this alternative compared to the Project but would not be significant. Impacts related to agriculture and forestry resources, hazardous and hazardous materials, land use and planning, mineral resources, recreation, and wildfire would be similar to the Project.
As shown on DEIR Table 6-10, Alternatives Attainment of Project Objectives, the Reduced Development Area and Intensity Alternative would meet Project Objectives A, B, and F —I, as described in Section 6.1.1 of the DEIR. As compared with the Project, this alternative would not meet the following objectives to the same extent, due to the reduced industrial and commercial building square footage and proportional reduction in employees and economic benefit and would not maximize opportunities to create jobs within the City, which are core components of Objectives C and D:

8.0 GENERAL CEQA FINDINGS
8.4.1 RECIRCULATION NOT REQUIRED
The City finds that the DEIR does not require recirculation under CEQA (CEQA Section 21092.1, CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5).
(a) CEQA requires that the lead agency recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice of its availability has previously been given but prior to its certification. "Significant new information" requiring recirculation includes, for example, a disclosure showing that:
(1) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented;
(2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance; (3)
A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project's proponents decline to adopt it; or
(4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. (b) Recirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR. (c) If the revision is limited to a few chapters or portions of the EIR, the lead agency need only recirculate the chapters or portions that have been modified. (d) Recirculation of an EIR requires notice pursuant to Section 15087, and consultation pursuant to Section 15086.
(e) A decision not to recirculate an EIR must be supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record.
The DEIR documents changes to the DEIR. The DEIR provides additional analysis that was not included in the DEIR. Furthermore, Responses to Comments contained in the DEIR fully considered and responded to comments claiming that the Project would have significant impacts or more severe impacts not disclosed in the DEIR. Furthermore, the Responses to Comments include substantial evidence that none of these comments provided substantial evidence that project would result in changed circumstances, significant new information, considerably different mitigation measures, or new or more severe significant impacts than were discussed in the DEIR. In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(b) provides that "recirculation is not required where the new information Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project
Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
added to the EIR merely clarifies and amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR." Recirculation also is not required simply because new information is added to the EIR indeed, new information is oftentimes added given CEQA's public/agency comment and response process and CEQA's post-DEIR circulation requirement of proposed responses to comments submitted by public agencies.
The City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council have thoroughly reviewed the public comments received regarding the Project and the DEIR to determine whether any of the public comments provide substantial evidence that would require recirculation of the EIR prior to its adoption.
8.4.2 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
To the extent that these Findings conclude that the proposed mitigation measures outlined in herein are feasible and have not been modified, superseded, or withdrawn, the City hereby commits to implementing these measures. These Findings, in other words, are not merely informational, but rather constitute a binding set of obligations that will come into effect when the City approves the proposed project. The mitigation measures that are referenced herein and adopted concurrently with these Findings will be effectuated through the process of construction and implementation of the proposed Project. In accordance with the Requirements of Public Resources Code § 21081.6, the City must adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program, which is described in full in Section IV of the DEIR and is incorporated herein by this reference. The City reserves the right to make amendments and/or substitutions of mitigation measures if the City determines that the amended or substituted mitigation measure will mitigate the identified potential environmental impacts to at least the same degree as the original mitigation measure, and where the amendment or substitution would not result in a new significant impact on the environment which cannot be mitigated.
8.4.3 CONSIDERATION OF RECORD; INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT
In approving the proposed Project, the City decision -makers have reviewed and considered the DEIR and appendices, the DEIR and appendices, and all other pertinent evidence in the record of proceedings. The Applicant's consultants prepared the screen check versions of the DEIR, DEIR and technical studies. All such materials and all other materials related to the EIR were extensively reviewed and, where appropriate, modified by the Planning Department or other City representatives.
As such, the DEIR, DEIR, technical studies, and all other related materials reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the Lead Agency.

9.0 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
This Section specifically addresses CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, which requires the City, acting as the Lead Agency, to balance the benefits of the Project against its significant and unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and determine whether the benefits which will accrue from the development of the Project outweigh its significant and unavoidable impacts. If the City finds that the major benefits of the Project outweigh its significant and unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, the City may approve the Project. Each of the separate benefits listed below are hereby determined to be, in itself, and independent of the Project's other benefits, the basis for overriding all significant and unavoidable environmental impacts identified in the EIR.
As set forth in Section 3.0 above, the EIR identified all of the Project's adverse environmental impacts and mitigation measures that can reduce the Project's impacts to less -than -significant level where feasible, or to the lowest feasible levels. Mitigation imposed by the City must have a proportional nexus to the Project's impacts. As further set forth in Section 5.0, the EIR presents evidence that implementing the Project would cause or contribute to impacts that would remain significant and unavoidable even after the imposition of all feasible mitigation measures. Finally, as set forth in Section
7.0, herein, there are no feasible alternatives to the Project that would mitigate the Project's significant and avoidable impacts to less -than -significant level or avoid those environmental impacts while still attaining most of the Project's basic objectives. Based on the facts presented throughout this document, the City makes the following finding:
As the CEQA Lead Agency for the proposed Project, the City has reviewed the Project description and the alternatives to the Project, as presented in the EIR, and the City fully understands the Project and its alternatives. The City finds and determines that:
(i)
the majority of the significant impacts of the Project will be reduced to less -than significant and acceptable levels by the mitigation measures described in the Final EIR and approved and adopted by these Findings;
(ii) the City's approval of the Project will result in certain significant adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided even with the incorporation of all feasible mitigation measures into the Project; and
(iii) all potential adverse environmental impacts and all feasible mitigation measures to reduce the impacts from the Project have been identified in the DEIR, Final EIR and public testimony and there are no other feasible mitigation measures or feasible Project alternatives that would further mitigate or avoid the remaining significant environmental effects. The significant effects that have not been mitigated to a less - than -significant level are therefore considered significant and unavoidable. Having considered the potential for the Project to cause or contribute to significant and unavoidable adverse impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and transportation, the City hereby determines that all feasible mitigation measures have been adopted to reduce or avoid the significant and unavoidable impacts identified in Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project
Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
the EIR, and that no additional feasible mitigation or alternatives are available to further reduce or avoid significant impacts.
(iv) economic, social, and other considerations of the Project outweigh the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts and that approval of the Project is appropriate.
Despite the potentially significant impacts, it is the City's considered judgment that the benefits offered by the proposed Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project (Project) outweigh the potentially adverse effects of the significant impacts. Each of the twelve overriding considerations set forth below constitutes a separate and independent ground for finding that the benefits of the Project outweigh its potential adverse effects and each such consideration, standing alone, warrants approval of the Project.
Each of the Project benefits separately and individually outweighs all of the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in the EIR, and the City therefore finds those impacts to be acceptable.
The Project would meet the following 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 for 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.

Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
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. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project is consistent with and will contribute to achieving the policies, goals and objectives established by the City of Beaumont General Plan. Implementing the City's General Plan as a policy is a legal and social prerogative of the City.
The Beaumont General Plan Land Use and Community Design Element designates the Project site as Rural Residential 1. The Project Applicant's proposed GPA PLAN2019-0284 would amend the City of Beaumont's General Plan Land Use Map to modify the land use designations for the Project site from "Rural Residential" to "Industrial (I)," "General Commercial (GC)," "Open Space (OS)," and "Open Space -Conservation (OS -C)." The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan policies, goals and objectives for these land use designations and other applicable General Plan policies, goals and objectives. With the approval of the proposed Project, including the Specific Plan, any future development plans and entitlement applications (tract maps, site plans, and other similar entitlements) would be required to comply with the Specific Plan and substantially conform to the standards and guidelines set forth in the other sections of the Specific Plan, as well as any other applicable City of Beaumont regulations and therefore would also be consistent with General Plan policies, goals and objectives. Although the Project would result in a change to the General Plan land use designations for the Project site to allow for implementation of the Specific Plan, these changes would not result in a conflict with applicable plans, polices, or regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or reducing an environmental effect (DEIR, Table 4.11- 1).
2. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project is consistent with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and will dedicate natural habitat to the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) pursuant to the Western Riverside County MSHCP.
The Project site is located in the MSHCP Criteria Area, within portions of independent Cells 933, 936, 1030, 1032, and 1125, as well as a portion of Cell Group A', divided between two Area Plans. The Pass Area Plan (Cells 933, 936, 1030, 1032, and 1125) and the Reche Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project
Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
Canyon/Badlands Area Plan (Cell Group A'). The Project required a Criteria Refinement to approve the Specific Plan, as designed, to be consistent with the MSHCP Reserve Assembly requirements.
The Criteria Refinement analysis was approved and determined to be in concurrence with the MSHCP by the RCA, USFWS and the CDFW on November 9, 2022. On November 9, 2022, the Wildlife Agencies issued a letter to the City of Beaumont concurring with the RCA's Findings that the proposed Revised Criteria Refinement is superior or equivalent to conservation described within Proposed Core 3. In furtherance of the findings, the Project will be constructed in compliance with the Criteria Refinement analysis and the City will condition the Project to require shielded, wildlife friendly lighting for all outdoor lighting consistent with the MSHCP Urban/Wildlife Interface Guidelines (MSHCP Volume I, Section 6.1.4).
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 open space — conservation area would be preserved as natural habitat and would be dedicated to the RCA as required by the Western Riverside County MSHCP. Additionally, 78.40 acres of off -site lands would be conserved and conveyed to the RCA.
3. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will contribute towards implementing employment opportunities in the City to improve the jobs -housing balance and to reduce unemployment within the City. Jobs for residents at a variety of income levels will be provided. The Project furthers the regional goals of Connect SoCal which designates the Beaumont area as a Job Center within a designated Priority Growth Area13.
The Project would provide job opportunities close to home for Beaumont residents, which would subsequently help achieve a better job -to -housing balance within the City and the region (DEIR, Section 4.14). At full -Project buildout, the Project is estimated to generate approximately 5,456 permanent jobs. SCAG forecasted 15,900 jobs in the City by the year 2045; the Project's proposed jobs would represent approximately 34% of SCAG's forecast.
The Project would contribute new employment to a housing -rich area contributing to an improved jobs -housing ratio of 0.92 for the City under existing plus Project conditions and
0.93 at Project buildout (DEIR, Table 4.14-4). Therefore, the Project would have a beneficial impact on the City's jobs -housing ratio and contribute to the City goal of reaching the recommended jobs -housing ratio of approximately 1.0. The Project would be within the anticipated business growth projections of the City and would contribute to a more balanced job -housing ratio.

4. Development and construction of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will create both temporary and permanent onsite jobs and will indirectly support local and regional jobs. Additionally, construction spending will create a one-time stimulus to the local and regional economies. Once the Project is completed, the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will ultimately spur the creation of both local and regional jobs, and there would be additional output and earnings to the local and regional economies.
Temporary construction and long-term operational jobs created by the Project would result in increased spending throughout the region, including in the City of Beaumont. It is anticipated that annual personal earnings would increase through the generation of new jobs, and these earnings would ripple through the local and regional economy, creating a one-time increase in output and earnings associated with construction jobs and an on -going increase in output and earnings associated with permanent jobs. Employment generation associated with operation of the proposed buildings is discussed under Item 4, above. Refer to Exhibit A, Beaumont Point Specific Plan Fiscal Impact Analysis.
5. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will provide new development that will generate revenues for the City in the years and decades ahead. Once construction is completed, the facility will annually generate additional City revenue. This increased revenue from the development will be driven by sales tax, property tax, property tax in lieu of Motor Vehicle Licensing Fees, hotel lodging tax, business license fees and other tax, license, permit charges and fees as documented in the Fiscal Impact Analysis (Exhibit A).
The Project would have a positive fiscal impact on the City of Beaumont through construction and development of the Project, as well as throughout the life of the Project. The construction and development of the site would produce an economic stimulus as a result of the payment of one-time fees and recurring revenues. An Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis was prepared for the Project in August 2023 by Development Planning & Financing Group (see Exhibit A.1).
At Project buildout, the Project is expected to generate approximately $2,092,151 per year in property tax revenue (of which the City will receive approximately $523,038 per year) and $1,476,082 in Property Taxes In lieu of Motor Vehicle License Fee (MVLF). The hotel within the Project will generate approximately $547,500 per year in transient occupancy tax for the City, and $453,000 in annual sales tax to the City from the commercial components of the Project. This amounts to over $3.5 million in gross recurring annual revenues and over $1.5 million in net recurring annual general fund surplus paid to the City. Over a twenty-year period after Project buildout, assuming a 1% growth per year in Transient Occupancy Tax Revenue and a 2% growth per year for all other revenue categories, the Project is anticipated to generate $85,113,976 in total tax revenues to the City.

In summary, as documented in the Fiscal Impact Analysis (Exhibit A):
1. Property is anticipated to have a total assessed value of approximately $1.56 Billion at build -out. (Appendix B, Table 3)
2. The Project is anticipated to increase the City's job base by 22%. (City currently has approximately 24,300 employees. The Project is anticipated to create 5,451 new employees.) (Table 3)
3. The Project is anticipated to generate an annual General Plan surplus of $1.6MM at build -out. (At build -out, the Project is projected to generate $3.6MM of recurring annual revenue to the City. The Projected is anticipated to require $2.0MM of recurring annual expenditure to the City.) (Table 2)
4. The Project is anticipated to increase key recurring tax revenue to the City by 16%. (For the City's Adopted Budget for fiscal year 2023/2024, the City expects to receive $15.6MM total per year in Secured Property Tax, Motor Vehicle In -Lieu Taxes, and Transient Occupancy Tax — Appendix B, Table 8. The Project is anticipated to contribute an additional $2.5MM per year in these categories — Table 2)
5. The Project is anticipated to increase demand on City services by only approximately
4.0%. (The City currently has demand on City services from approximately 68,890 Equivalent Residents. The Project will increase demand on City services by approximately 2,725 Equivalent Residents.) (Table 3).
6. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will help meet the existing demand for high - quality, large-scale, Class A high cube warehouse/distribution centers within a geographic area that allows for access to a multi -modal transportation system.
Regional access to the Project site is provided via the SR -60 Freeway at the Potrero Boulevard interchange, approximately 1.3 miles to the east, and the I-10 Freeway at SR -79, approximately
3.3 miles to the east. The Project site is approximately 2.5 miles west of the junction of SR -60 Freeway and I-10, 3 miles west from the westbound on -ramp of the I-10 Freeway at Oak Valley Parkway via Potrero Boulevard, and 14 miles east of Interstate 215 (I-215). The Project will help to fulfill southern California's unconstrained demand for warehousing space (i.e., demand without accounting for the amount of suitably zoned land for future development), which is estimated to be approximately 1.81 billion square feet by the year 2040, as projected by SCAG14. In doing so, the Project will further diversify the City's economy and secure the City's position in the regional, State, and international marketplace. 14 SCAG. (April 2018).

7. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will fulfill a need in the City and region with wellness -based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants.
The City currently lacks diversity in its retail market and desires to expand and diversify its retail and commercial sectors. Incorporation of wellness -based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants would diversify the City's current retail and commercial sectors consistent with City General Plan Goals 5.1, 5.5, 5.7, and 5.815 by establishing an active setting that would provide a gathering place for the community and a variety of retail, recreation and restaurants uses not currently available in the City. This would diversify and expand available commercial services for City residents, could attract visitors traveling along the SR -60 corridor, and would also diversify the City's tax revenues, stabilizing the City's revenues by expanding sources of revenue generation.
Planning Areas 1 and 2 totaling 30.2 acres are designated General Commercial. This area is intended to provide an outdoor retail experience with a variety of wellness activities for all ages unique to the City and region. "The Experience at Beaumont Pointe," includes a combination of hospitality, restaurant, and recreation commercial uses and is designed to be a multi -generational, regional destination focusing on entertainment, physical activity and wellness -based retail. A tree -lined "Promenade" featuring water features, outdoor living room seating areas, and shading devices serves as the organizing spine of the Project. The "Promenade" takes users from the hotel at one end, through each area to the next, past the "Activities Park," to its termination at a large climbing wall that has both indoor and outdoor climbing experiences. The "Activities Park" serves as the focal point of "The Experience at Beaumont Pointe," and consists of landscaping, seating, video screen walls, and programming provided by the commercial developer for wellness activities such as yoga, movies on the lawn, and "biergarten" games. The retail -use buildings feature large facade openings with large doors, to allow a dynamic interaction of indoor / outdoor activities and varied uses to spill out onto the "Promenade" and park areas. Potential activity and recreation -based retail uses proposed includes indoor go-karting, stationary surf wave pools, indoor trampoline parks, ninja obstacle course gyms, climbing gyms, training facilities, and various athletic and wellness studios. A cluster of restaurants with patio dining face the "Activities Park" and shelter it from the parking areas. The spaces between the restaurants serve as seating areas and portals into the project from the parking field.
8. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will provide significant job opportunities while providing additional infrastructure benefits to the City and local area in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
The Project is estimated to generate approximately 5,456 permanent jobs which would represent approximately 34% of SCAG's forecast. By contributing new employment to a 15 Goal 5.1: A dynamic local economy that attracts diverse business and investment. Goal 5.5: A community with vibrant shopping areas. Goal 5.7: A unique destination that celebrates Beaumont's location, history, and community.
Goal 5.8: A financially stable community.

housing -rich area, the Project will contribute to an improved jobs -housing ratio for the City and would be within the anticipated business growth projections of the City.
The Project would construct four main roadways for on -site circulation -4th Street, Jack Rabbit Trail, Entertainment Avenue, and Industrial Way. All roadways will be public right of way unless otherwise indicated in the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan; Entertainment Avenue and Industrial Way are private roads. The precise location of roadways and access points identified in the DEIR are considered conceptual in that they may be modified to meet the requirements of the City of Beaumont Public Works Depth tiuent and to address final grading requirements.
The Project Applicant would be required to pay Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF), Development Impact Fees (DIF), and fair share improvement fees that the City would use to ensure the implementation of roadway improvements in the area in order to minimize traffic congestion. In addition, these fees would fund additional traffic improvements to General Plan roadways in the Project area and would go toward the maintenance of roadway infrastructure in the Project area.
The Project would include domestic and recycled water infrastructure, sewer lines, lift station, upgrading Hidden Canyon Lift Station, storm drain infrastructure, and dry utilities which would be installed in compliance with the requirements of the respective utility providers and consistent with final plans approved by the utility providers.
The Project would provide over $2 million in fair -share contributions toward infrastructure improvements.
9. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will provide other Community Benefits.
Through the Project's Development Agreement, the Project Applicant will be providing additional Community Benefits supporting the surrounding community, including but not limited to the following:
• Full cost of build out and dedication of 4th Street and Jack Rabbit Trail on the Project site as new public roads.
• Expansion of the sewer lift station at 4th Street and Potrero Boulevard to increase capacity required to serve the Project, providing capacity for the Project and wet well available to the City.
• Payment of TUMF fees, school fees, MSHCP fees, Development Fees, and utility connection fees subject to fee credits.

• Construction of Offsite Traffic Improvements and/or payment of fair share contributions towards traffic improvements as described on Exhibit "D" of the Development Agreement.
• Conveyance of 230.82 acres of land, including 152.42 acres on the Project site (Planning Area 10) and 78.40 acres of land offsite, to RCA or to another conservation agency or non-profit organization with the approval of RCA to further wildlife interests, providing access for wildlife movement to Caltrans constructed and proposed wildlife undercrossings along the SR -60 Freeway abutting the northern Project boundary and construction of fencing around property perimeter to support the function of Proposed Core 3 of the MSHCP, consistent with the MSHCP goals of providing live-in habitat and facilitating movement of wildlife.
• Increase in local tax revenues including sales and property taxes and transit occupancy taxes.
• Increase in employment opportunities in local area.
10. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project development will facilitate the City's goal of sustainable development by being energy and water efficient in conformance with the City's Climate Action Plan.
Development within the Specific Plan will be energy efficient in conformance with the criteria from the City of Beaumont Climate Action Plan.

11. The Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project will reduce the overall risk of wildfire spread on and off site.
The Project site is undeveloped, disturbed, vacant, and has hills in the south which contain existing native and non-native vegetation that would be susceptible to wildfire. The Project site is designated within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (HFHSZ) within a State Responsibility Area (SRA) by the Riverside County General Plan and CalFire.
The Project includes a Fire Protection Plan (FPP) to ensure the protection of all development within Project from fire hazards and to reduce the overall risk of wildfire spreading off site with implementation of fire safety requirements, defensible space, and vegetation management.
The Project site improvements are designed to facilitate emergency apparatus and personnel access throughout the Project site. Driveway and road improvements with fire apparatus turnarounds provide access to the sides of every building. Water availability and flow will be Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project
Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
"ATTACHMENT 1"
consistent with requirements including fire flow and hydrant distribution required by local and state codes. These features along with the ignition resistance of all buildings, the interior sprinklers, and the pre -planning, training and awareness will assist responding firefighters through prevention, protection, and suppression capabilities. Buildings will be constructed in conformance with Riverside County codes for building within Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas that focus on preventing structure ignition from heat, flame, and burning embers.
As indicated in the FPP, all the existing fuel on the Project site and within fuel modification zone (FMZ) areas will be converted into hardscape and or partially or totally replaced with more appropriately spaced drought -tolerant, fire-resistant plants. Fuel conditions will be addressed through various vegetation management techniques, including FMZs to protect natural resources from fires in developed areas and to provide a managed area where fire spread is not facilitated toward the Project or away from the Project into wildland areas to lower the probability of burning and the potential fire size. As a result, the risk of a structure being destroyed, whether from a fire from with the development or outside the development, is significantly lower when defensible space is implemented. Fuel modification areas and fuel maintenance zone will also be implemented to minimizing the potential for an on -site fire spreading offsite. Specifically, in addition to a 100 -foot Fuel Modification Area (FMA), the Project will provide a 20 -foot wide fuel maintenance zone around the perimeter of the Project's wildland exposures. The fuel maintenance zone will be landscaped and irrigated to the pad edge, extending the protections provided by the FMA.
The Project would construct four main roadways for on -site circulation -4th Street, Jack Rabbit Trail, Entertainment Avenue, and Industrial Way. The roadways would increase access for first responses to the area. Additionally, the Project includes a looped perimeter road system (4th 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. An emergency secondary access to and from the site is provided from State Highway 60 via Jack Rabbit Trail, where an emergency access gate will be installed to provide access for firefighting and for evacuation. The emergency access gate will meet all fire code requirements including an automatic gate opener with battery backup and solar charging.
Finally, the Project buildings will be constructed of concrete which is non-combustible and highly resistant to heat.
In conclusion, the City finds after consideration of the FEIR and the evidence in the record, that each of the specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological and other benefits of the Project as set out above independently and collectively outweighs the identified significant adverse environmental impacts and is an overriding consideration warranting approval of the Project. The City further finds that each of the individual benefits discussed above outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in the EIR and, therefore, finds those impacts to be acceptable. The City further finds that each of the benefits listed above, standing alone, is sufficient justification for the City Council to override these unavoidable environmental impacts.
The reasons for approval cited above are not unitary, so that even if a court were to conclude that not every reason is supported by substantial evidence, the City determines that each remaining reason Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project

standing alone would be sufficient to justify approval of the Project. The substantial evidence supporting the various benefits can be found in the FEIR and the CEQA Findings, above, which are incorporated by reference into the documents found in the administrative record. On the basis of the Findings made in Sections 3.0 through 8.0 included herewith, and the substantial evidence in the whole record of this proceeding, it is specifically found that there are significant benefits of the Project in spite of the unavoidable significant impacts. It is further found that, as part of the process of obtaining Project approval, all significant effects on the environment from implementation of the Project have been eliminated or substantially lessened where feasible. Any remaining significant effects on the environment found to be unavoidable are found to be acceptable due to the above -discussed specific overriding economic, technical, legal, social and other considerations.

1. Purpose of Fiscal Impact Analysis
Representatives of JRT BP1, LLC have requested that DPFG, LLC. ("DPFG") prepare a Fiscal Impact Analysis ("FIA") to estimate the annual recurring net fiscal impact that the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan ("Project") is anticipated to have on the City of Beaumont, California's ("City") General Fund at the Project's buildout, as well as its cumulative impact in the 20 years after buildout, if it were to be annexed into the City. Please note that the FIA is subject to limiting conditions outlined in this Report.
2. Project Description
The proposed Project is an employment and retail entertainment development which at buildout is anticipated to include approximately 246,000 square feet of general commercial uses, a 125 -room hotel, and approximately 4,995,000 square feet of industrial and warehouse uses in five buildings ranging in size from 600,000 and 1,400,000 square feet.
Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan (SP2019-0003)
The Project includes approximately 539.9 gross acres that are predominantly located just outside the City of Beaumont in the Unincorporated Area of the County of Riverside, between Moreno Valley and Beaumont, adjacent to Jack Rabbit Trail and below SR -60. The Project is within the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan, which provides for the development of up to 539.9 acres comprising of 30.2 acres of General Commercial uses, approximately 232.6 acres of Industrial uses, and approximately 277.1 acres of Open Space. It is estimated that the Project will include an additional approximately 4,995,000 square feet of industrial uses, approximately 246,000 square feet of general commercial uses, and a 125 -room hotel upon buildout.

Using the same escalation assumptions in the Buildout + 20 Yrs summary in Table 2 an annual time - phased analysis was prepared consistent with the term of the City forecast of sixteen years. This analysis includes the anticipated absorption of the project over 5 years and is included in Appendix C.
4. FIA Recurring Revenues
The revenue estimates in this section utilize the Equivalent Resident approach, with the exception of property and sales taxes which are estimated from the number of commercial square feet, industrial square feet, and number of hotel rooms developed, as shown in detail in Appendix B.
4.1 Property Taxes
In addition to the other ad valorem chargers imposed by various local agencies, landowners in the State of California are required to pay annual property taxes of 1% on the assessed value of their 5
Fiscal Impact Analysis
August 2023 Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
property pursuant to Proposition 13. Each county in California is divided into tax rate areas ("TRA").
After the basic 1% property tax is collected by the County, the tax is allocated to various local agencies based on their respective share of the basic tax within the applicable TRA. Due to the Project being located within multiple TRA's, this analysis calculates a weighted average percentage of the share of the basic tax that would be allocated to the City if the Project were to be annexed. Property taxes are estimated by applying estimated assessed values to the number of commercial square feet, industrial square feet, and hotel rooms built within the Project. If it were to be annexed into the City, the Project is estimated to generate $523,038 in annual recurring revenues at buildout and $12,708,439 in cumulative annual revenues during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix B Table 4.
4.2 Property Taxes In -Lieu of MVLF
In May 2004, Governor Schwarzenegger proposed a swap of city and county VLF revenue for additional property tax share as part of a budget agreement between the State and local governments.
The swap was included in the 2004 budget package. Under this legislation, property tax in -lieu of VLF is allocated to Cities and Counties pursuant to a complex formula involving each agencies relative share of assessed value. The property tax in -lieu of VLF revenue that will be generated by the Project can be estimated by determining the (i) percentage growth in the total assessed value of the City attributable to the Project and multiplying by (ii) the property tax in -lieu of VLF revenue of $6,762,693 expected to be received by the City in FY 2023-24 per the City Budget. Based on these calculations, the Project is anticipated to generate $1,476,082 in annual recurring revenue at buildout and $35,864,922 in cumulative annual revenues during the 20 years after buildout, as shown in Appendix B Table 5.
4.3 Sales Taxes
4.3.1 Transient Occupancy Taxes
Lodging Taxes are estimated from the number of hotel rooms built within the Project. Lodging tax revenues of 10.0% on all hotel rooms rented within the Project are collected by the City. This revenue estimate utilizes a 125 -room hotel, an average hotel room rate of $160 and an occupancy rate of
75.0%. Based on the total hotel lodging taxes, if it were to be annexed into the City, the Project is estimated to generate $547,500 in annual recurring revenue at buildout and $12,055,405 in cumulative annual revenues during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix B Table 6.
4.3.2 Commercial Retail Sales Taxes
Commercial retail sales taxes are estimated from the number of square feet of retail space built within the Project. If it were to be annexed into the City, the Project is estimated to generate $453,000 in annual recurring revenue at buildout. If it were to be annexed into the City, the Project is anticipated to generate $11,006,709 in cumulative annual revenue during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix B Table 7.
4.4 Other Revenues
The City receives revenues from other budgetary items for which case studies were not conducted upon. These revenues are in the form of Other Taxes, Licenses, Permits, and Fees, Charges for 6
Fiscal Impact Analysis
August 2023 Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan
Service, Fines and Forfeitures, Cost Recovery, and Miscellaneous Revenue. Other Revenues are estimated using the estimated Project Equivalent Residents of 2,622. The Project is estimated to generate $554,731 in annual recurring revenue at buildout and $13,478,502 in cumulative annual revenues during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix Table 8.
5. FIA Recurring Costs
The cost estimates in this section utilize the Equivalent Resident approach, as shown in detail in Appendix B.
5.1 Non Departmental
Transfers Out are the only expense that makes up the Non -Departmental cost category. Costs are estimated using a Per Capita & 50% Employee Multiplier. This analysis assumes that 0% of the non -Departmental costs for Transfers Out are estimated to be impacted by the Project. The Project is estimated to generate $0 in annual recurring costs at buildout and $0 in cumulative annual costs during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix B, Table 9.
5.2 Administration
The Administration cost category includes all expenses incurred by the City for Administrative services, City Council, City Clerk, Administration, Communication, IT Department, Risk and Human Resources, Legal services, and Finance and Budgeting. Costs are estimated by using a Per Capita & 50% Employee Multiplier, and 50.0% of the budgeted costs are estimated to be impacted by the Project. The Project is estimated to generate $226,753 in annual recurring costs at buildout and $6,092,928 in cumulative annual costs during the 20 years after buildout as shown in Appendix B, Table 9.
5.3 Community Development
The Community Development cost category includes all expenses related to the Planning Department, Community Enhancement, Building and Safety, and Economic Development, and is responsible for administering the City's planning and construction and code regulation programs.

7. General Sources of Information and FIA Methodology
Annual recurring revenues/costs were calculated using the City of Beaumont's Fiscal Year 2024 Adopted Budget ("Budget"), as this was the most recent budget available. Annual recurring revenue/cost impacts to the City General Fund are estimated in 2023 dollars, and by using primarily either per person ("Per Capita") or equivalent resident ("Equivalent Resident") methodologies. In some simpler instances the FIA estimates impacts based on the number of Project commercial square feet, industrial square feet, or number of hotel rooms.
The Equivalent Resident approach is used for annual recurring revenues/costs that are impacted by the number of Project employees. This approach uses the Budget's revenues/costs, as well as the City's number of residents plus 50.0% of the employees in 2023 to establish an Equivalent Resident Factor. The Equivalent Resident Factor is then applied to the number of Project residents plus 50.0% of Project employees to estimate annual recurring fiscal impacts. 50.0% is estimated to be the percentage of Project employees that will live and shop in the City.
These approaches are summarized on Table -3.

CEQA Requirements
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that when a public agency completes an environmental document that includes measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects, the public agency must adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the changes to the project that it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant environmental impacts. The appropriate reporting or monitoring plan must be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation (Public Resources Code §21081.6).
The City of Beaumont will coordinate the monitoring of the mitigation measures and regulatory requirements with each applicable City department or division, while various City departments/divisions would be responsible for monitoring and verifying compliance of specific mitigation measures and regulatory requirements (see the beginning on page 4). Monitoring will include: 1) verification that each mitigation measure and regulatory requirement has been implemented; 2) recordation of the actions taken to implement each mitigation measure and regulatory requirement; and 3) retention of records in the project file.
Project Objectives
The objectives of the proposed Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan (the "Project") include the following:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Fulfilling a need in the City and region wellness -based retail, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants.
Lead Agency: City of Beaumont
SCH No. 2020099007
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
Overview of the Project
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.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan
This MMRP delegates responsibilities for monitoring the implementation of the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project mitigation measures and applicable regulatory requirements and allows responsible City entities flexibility and discretion in determining how best to monitor implementation.
Monitoring procedures will vary according to the type of mitigation measure or regulatory requirement.
The timing for monitoring and reporting is described in the monitoring and reporting summary table, below. Adequate monitoring requires demonstration of monitoring procedures and implementation of mitigation measures and regulatory requirements.
In order to enhance the effectiveness of the monitoring program, the City will utilize existing systems where appropriate. These inspectors are familiar with a broad range of regulatory issues and will provide first line oversight for much of the monitoring program during construction activities.
Program Changes
If minor changes are required to this MMRP, they will be made in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and would be permitted after further review by the City. Such changes could include reassignment of monitoring and reporting responsibilities and/or minor modifications to mitigation measures that achieve the same or better end results. No change will be permitted unless the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program continues to satisfy the requirements of Public Resources Code §21081.6.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
THE CITY OF BEAUMONT AND
BEAUMONT POINTE PARTNERS LLC
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into this day of , 2024 by and between the CITY OF BEAUMONT, a municipal corporation ("City"), and BEAUMONT POINTE PARTNERS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as further described in Section 1.2 below, "Owner"). This Agreement is made pursuant to the Development Agreement Laws (defined below). This Agreement refers to the City and Owner collectively as the "Parties" and singularly as the "Party."
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Laws to authorize any city, county or city and county to enter into a development agreement with an applicant for a development project, establishing certain development rights in the property which is the subject of the development project application.
B. Owner has a legal and equitable interest in approximately 539.9 acres of land located south of the 60 Freeway and west of Jack Rabbit Trail in the County of Riverside, State of California legally described and depicted on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Property"). The Property is in the unincorporated area of the County of Riverside and in the Sphere of Influence as such term is defined in Govt. Code Section 56076 ("SOI") of the City of Beaumont.
C. Owner desires to develop the Property in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, "Specific Plan"). The Specific Plan divides the Property into ten (10) planning areas ("Planning Areas"). Planning Areas 1 and 2 comprise approximately
30.2 acres and are proposed to be developed for commercial uses as "The Experience at Beaumont Pointe", such as community recreation, commercial, retail, restaurant and hospitality land uses, and a 125- room hotel along with related amenities. Planning Areas 3 through 8 comprise approximately 232.6 acres and are proposed to be developed with industrial uses to accommodate users such as industrial incubators, light manufacturing, parcel hub, warehouse/storage, fulfillment center, high cube warehouse, cold storage warehouse, and e -commerce operations ("Industrial Uses"). The list of uses permitted and conditionally permitted on the Property is provided in the Specific Plan. In addition, the Project provides approximately 277.1 acres of open space area along the Property's northern and southern boundaries of which approximately 152.4 acres (Planning Area 10) are designated "Open Space- Conservation" and proposed to be conveyed to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority ("RCA") or another conservation agency or non-profit organization with the approval of RCA pursuant to the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Conservation Plan ("MSHCP"). The remaining open space (Planning Area 9) is designed to accommodate landscaped manufactured slopes, fuel modification areas, project signage, optional water tank and natural open space to act as a buffer for Planning Area 10. The Development Agreement

buildout of the Property as described in the Specific Plan is referred to in this Agreement as the "Proj ect".
D. Owner is seeking to annex the Property into the City of Beaumont through the Local Agency Formation Commission for Riverside County ("LAFCO") pursuant to the Cortese - Knox -Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, Govt. Code Section 56000 et seq.
Owner intends to file the application for such annexation ("Annexation Applications") with LAFCO following the City's consideration and approval of the Entitlement Applications (defined below). Govt. Code Section 65865(b) provides that a city may enter into a development agreement with respect to unincorporated territory within that city's Sphere of Influence. The City and Owner intend to cooperate in processing the Annexation Application to effectuate the annexation of the Property into the City.("Annexation"). The Parties jointly understand, intend and agree that this Agreement shall, to the extent legally permissible, serve and be the equivalent of a "Pre - Annexation Agreement" by and between them, and may be interpreted and relied upon as such.
E. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by Owner to implement the General Plan of the City of Beaumont and in consideration of the rights conferred and the procedures specified herein for the development of the Property. This Agreement is voluntarily entered into by the City in the exercise of its legislative discretion to implement the General Plan and in consideration of the agreements and undertakings of Owner hereunder.
F. On , 2024, the City Council of the City of Beaumont ("City Council") adopted the following land use related entitlements and development rights via approval of: (a) Resolution No. certifying the Beaumont Pointe Specific Plan Project EIR (ENV2019-0008), SCH Number 2020099007 and adopting findings, a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP"); (b) Resolution No. for a General Plan Amendment (PLAN2019-0284) changing the General Plan land use designations of the Property to commercial, industrial and open space ("GPA"); (c) Ordinance No. for Pre -Zoning the Property to specific plan (PLAN2019-0283); (d) Ordinance No. for Adoption of the Specific Plan (SP2019-0003); (e) Ordinance No. for adoption of the Beaumont Pointe Sign Program (PLAN2022-0856) ("Sign Program"); (g) Resolution No. for adoption of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 38161 (PM2022-0014) ("TPM"); (g) Ordinance No. for adoption of this Agreement (PLAN2023-0906) and (h) Resolution No. for Minor Amendment to the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; (collectively, Owner's application for this Agreement and its related applications for the GPA, Pre -Zoning, Specific Plan, Sign Program, TPM, and EIR inclusive of the MMRP are referenced in the aggregate as the "Entitlement Applications"). The approvals granted as requested by the Entitlement Applications in connection with the development of the Project as intended and proposed, whether effective upon the Effective Date or upon Annexation, and as further itemized on Exhibit "B" are referenced in the aggregate herein as the "Existing Project Approvals".
G. The City has given public notice of its intention to adopt this Agreement, has conducted public hearings thereon pursuant to Govt. Code Section 65867 and the Development Agreement Laws. The City has found that the provisions of this Agreement and its purposes are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan as amended by the Existing Project Approvals and that the terms and conditions of this Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
2 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
Agreement have undergone extensive review by the City, including the City Council, and have been found to be fair, just and reasonable. The City has further concluded that the pursuit of the Project will promote the health, safety and welfare of the City and its citizens and provide substantial benefits to the City and its residents by, among other things, (a) providing the specific public benefits described below, including without limitation the Public Benefit Fee (defined below); (b) providing retail opportunities not currently sufficiently available in the community, including entertainment, recreation, hospitality, and restaurants; (c) creating employment opportunities in the commercial, retail, restaurant, hospitality and warehouse/industrial sectors; (d) conserving 230.82 acres of open space within and adjacent to MSHCP criteria cells and providing access for wildlife movement to Caltrans constructed and proposed wildlife undercrossings along the SR -60 Freeway abutting the northern Project boundary; (e) providing new economic benefit to the City and its residents, including new sales tax, property tax and transit occupancy tax revenues that can be used for City services and sufficient to permit annexation of the Property into the City; (f) creating transportation efficiencies by adding industrial uses along an existing 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; and (g) utilizing 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 to facilitate local and regional distribution of goods, while minimizing impacts to residents by locating new commercial and industrial facilities at a distance from residences.
H. It is the intent of the City and Owner that this Agreement be a legally binding contract which shall prevail over the provisions of any subsequently enacted moratoria, statutes, ordinances, limitations, or other measures, whether or not enacted by the City, or under the authority of the City by voter initiative or referendum, and whether or not such initiative, moratorium, referendum, statute, ordinance, limitation, or other measure relates, in whole or in part, to the rate, timing, sequence, or phasing of the development or construction of all or part of the Project or the improvements or affecting parcel or subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other entitlement or authorization to use the Property or to provide utilities which are issued by the City, subject only to the rights and powers reserved to the City under the terms of this Agreement and the requirements of California law.
I. The Project will require the construction of substantial public and private improvements, some of which improvements will benefit the Project, other property and developments within the vicinity of the Property and the entirety of the City. This Agreement will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and securing orderly development of the Project, provide the certainty necessary for Owner to make significant investments in public infrastructure and other improvements, assure the timely and progressive installation of necessary improvements, provide significant public benefits to the City that the City would not be entitled to receive without this Agreement and provide public services appropriate to each stage of development. Either of the Parties could easily be discouraged and deterred from making the long-term commitments inherent to the process of developing the Project on the Property. Both Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to reduce and/or eliminate as many development risks and uncertainties as possible.
J. As permitted by law through the City's consideration and approval of the Entitlement Applications filed by Owner and/or by this Agreement, the Parties desire to establish Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
3 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
development standards and design guidelines for the Project, the permitted uses for the Project, and to identify the scope of improvements to be required for the Project and, where appropriate, to provide for the payment or the specification of certain fees.
K. This Agreement will promote and encourage the development of the Property by providing Owner and its lenders and investors with a greater degree of certainty of Owner's ability to expeditiously and economically complete the Project and will provide the City, among other things, with certain public benefits that it could not otherwise obtain. The Parties agree that the consideration to be received by the City pursuant to this Agreement and the rights secured to Owner hereunder constitute sufficient consideration to support the mutual and respective covenants and agreements of the Parties.
L. In exchange for the benefits to the City, Owner desires to receive the assurance that it may proceed with the Project in accordance with the existing land use ordinances, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and to secure the benefits afforded Owner by the Development Agreement Laws with respect to the Project. These assurances are of vital concern to Owner to offset or remove the disincentives and uncertainties inherent in development of the Project.

If the City wishes to disapprove any proposed Assignment, the City shall set forth in writing and in reasonable detail the grounds for such disapproval. Failure by the City to approve or disapprove the proposed Assignment by the later of the second regularly scheduled City Council meeting following the delivery to the City of Owner's written request for Assignment shall be deemed to be approval of the proposed Assignment by the City if the request for Assignment includes the following warning printed in bold type not smaller than 12 points:

In addition, if bonds or other security are then in place to secure obligations under a subdivision map or other obligation, Assignee shall provide for the Assignment of existing security and bonds or issuance of new substitute security or bonds prior to the effective date of such Assignment. However, no act or omission of any Owner ("Defaulting Owner") shall by itself constitute a default by another Owner, and the City shall have no obligation whatsoever to cure any such default for the benefit of any other Owner within the Project.
1.6 Notices. Formal written notices, demands, correspondence and communications between the City and Owner shall be sufficiently given if dispatched by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the principal offices of the City and Owner by the means set forth in Section 8 hereof.
Such written notices, demands, correspondence and communications may be directed in the same manner to such other Persons and addresses as either Party may from time to time designate.
Owner shall give written notice to the City concurrently with the close of escrow and no later than five (5) calendar days following the Assignment of any portion of the Property and/or Assignment of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, setting forth the portion of the Property Assigned, the name of Assignee and Assignee's mailing address, the name and address of a single person to whom any notice relating to this Agreement shall be given, the effective date of the Assignment and any other information reasonably necessary for the City to consider the approval or any other action the City is required to take under this Agreement.

May 28, 2024
8 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
her delegee shall have the authority to determine if an amendment is a Major Amendment subject to this section or a Minor Amendment subject to Section 1.8.2 below. The City Manager's determination may be appealed to the City Council. Major Amendments shall apply to the matters outlined in this Section 1.8.1 but shall not apply to modifications specifically called out within the Specific Plan, including but not limited to certain substantial conformance determinations and minor modifications pursuant to Section 5.2.2 of the Specific Plan (note that certain other substantial conformance determinations require Planning Commission Approval) and further, adoption by the City of a Specific Plan Amendment shall not, in and of itself, require a Major Amendment or Minor Amendment to this Agreement.
1.8.2 Minor Amendments. The Parties acknowledge that refinement and further implementation of the Project may demonstrate that certain minor changes may be appropriate with respect to the details and performance of the Parties under this Agreement when a Major Amendment is not required ("Minor Amendment"). The Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to the details of the Project and with respect to those items covered in the general terms of this Agreement. If and when the Parties find that clarifications, minor changes, or minor adjustments are necessary or appropriate and do not constitute a Major Amendment under Section 1.8.1 above, they shall effectuate such clarifications, minor changes or minor adjustments through a written Minor Amendment approved in writing by Owner and the City Manager. Unless otherwise required by law, no such Minor Amendment shall require prior notice or hearing, nor shall it constitute an amendment to this Agreement. The Authority to enter into such Minor Amendments is hereby delegated to the City Manager and the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute any Minor Amendments without further City Council action.
2. Development of the Property.
2.1 Vested Rights; Permitted Uses and Development Standards. In accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Owner shall have the vested right to develop the Project and the Property for the uses and in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Project Rules. The City covenants that it will not initiate, so long as this Agreement remains in effect, any amendment to the General Plan or the Project's zoning as established by the Specific Plan in a manner that is inconsistent with the Project Rules.
To carry out the intent of the Specific Plan, which creates a framework for development that allows for subsequent submittals of plot plans and signage approvals by phase, the Applicable Rules shall apply to and govern the Subsequent Project Approvals. The full list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses is established in the Specific Plan. The City acknowledges that Buildings in the commercial and industrial areas of the Property will be leased and/or conveyed to third parties and that such Buildings may be used for the range of uses described in the Specific Plan.
2.2 Specific Plan Implementation Regulations. The Specific Plan establishes certain implementation regulations including but not limited to development criteria, infrastructure improvement standards, permitted and conditionally permitted uses, development standards and Planning Area standards and provides for a variety of determinations including but not limited to substantial conformance determinations, and approvals with respect to signage, plot plans and other permits and approvals that are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and are part of the vested rights. The City agrees that it shall process subsequent discretionary approvals Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
9 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
and Ministerial Approvals in accordance with such provisions to the extent applicable. Designation of an item in the Specific Plan as subject to administrative review is not a determination that such approval is a discretionary action, provided that the City does not waive its discretion under applicable law. The ultimate uses, densities and intensities of use shall be consistent on an overall basis with the applicable sections of the Specific Plan and any density transfer or change in the size, density, floor area or land use of the Planning Areas or any of them shall fully conform with the requirements of the Specific Plan and this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed or interpreted to permit development in Planning Area 10. Owner shall have the right to change the use of or modify the size of any Planning Area and/or to increase the density and intensity of use of any Planning Area in excess of the density and intensity limitations specified under the Existing Project Approvals subject to a Specific Plan Amendment under Section 5.2.4 thereof changing the land use or reallocating the density or intensity of uses with the Planning Areas; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require an amendment of the Specific Plan if the modification of the land use, size, density or intensity of use of any Planning Area requested is authorized pursuant to an alternative modification procedure established by Section 3.3.1, 3.4.1 or 5.2 of the Specific Plan or otherwise. The City shall establish and Owner shall comply with procedures for review and approval of and maintenance of a record of any increase or reduction in the net acreage and/or development intensity of each Planning Area pursuant to a substantial conformance determination under Section 5.2.4 of the Specific Plan or other amendment or modification to the Specific Plan to ensure that the Project does not exceed the authorized development envelope set forth in the Specific Plan and to assure that the rights of each and every Owner within the Property are not adversely affected by such modification without its prior consent. Such procedure shall also allow the City to record lift station flows from each proposed Building and any change in land use in a Planning Area from land uses analyzed in the EIR, and to require compliance with Section 5.2.8 of the Specific Plan as part of Owner's application. The Parties agree that such procedures and modifications do not independently trigger a requirement for new environmental analysis or subject the Project to additional burdens not addressed in the Specific Plan. Additionally, notwithstanding the language of this Section or any other language in this Agreement, all specifications, standards and policies regarding the design and construction of Public Improvements, if any, shall be those that are in effect at the time the applicable Public Improvement plans are being processed for approval.
2.3 Subsequent Project Approvals.
2.3.1 Discretionary Approvals. The vested right to develop the Project granted to Owner pursuant to this Agreement may require the Owner seek subsequent discretionary approvals. In reviewing and acting upon these subsequent discretionary approvals, and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the City shall not impose any conditions that preclude the development of the Project for the uses or the density and intensity of use set forth in the Specific Plan. Any subsequent discretionary approvals, including conditional use permits and plot plan approvals, shall become part of the Project Approvals once approved and after all appeal periods have expired or, if an appeal is filed, after the appeal is decided in favor of the approval. In reviewing and approving applications for subsequent discretionary approvals, the City may exercise its discretionary review and may attach such conditions and requirements as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to carry out the policies, goals, standards and objectives of the General Plan and to comply with legal requirements and policies of the City pertaining to such Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
10 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
reserved discretionary approvals, so long as such conditions and requirements do not preclude the uses and/or the density and intensity of use set forth in this Agreement and are not inconsistent with the Applicable Rules. The City shall fully comply with the applicable provisions of the Permit Streamlining Act with respect to the review of proposed quasi-judicial permit applications. The City shall process and take final action on Owner's applications for other Subsequent Project Approvals in accordance with all applicable laws. The City shall employ all lawful actions capable of being undertaken by the City to promptly acknowledge all complete applications for Subsequent Project Approvals and process such applications in accordance with the Applicable Rules.
Subsequent Project Approvals for the Project shall not be disapproved, conditioned or delayed by City for reasons inconsistent with the Applicable Rules in effect at the time as a Subsequent Project Approval applicable to the Property is approved by the City in accordance with this Agreement.
Any such approval shall become subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be treated as a Project Approval and shall be vested under this Agreement.
2.3.2 Ministerial Approvals. The City shall use reasonable efforts to expedite the processing of requests for and the issuance of all Ministerial Approvals after application is made therefor and, in all events, shall process such requests consistent with City's normal processing timelines for similar permits and approvals.
2.3.3 Expedited Processing of Entitlement Applications and Plan Check.
The City shall use reasonable efforts to provide expedited processing of entitlement applications, including for discretionary approvals and Ministerial Approvals, and an expedited plan check process for the review of improvement plans and building plans for the Project, and may hire third - party reviewers for such purpose. Within two (2) weeks of a written request by Owner, the City shall determine whether expedited processing or plan check is feasible for the requested work. If the City determines that expedited processing or plan check is feasible and requires the retention of an outside consultant(s) for review of Owner's improvement plans and building plans, and provided that Owner executes a reimbursement agreement whereby it deposits in advance monies needed to retain and pay such outside consultants, the City shall retain such outside consultant(s).
The outside consultant(s) shall be at the sole selection of the City and shall be paid for at the sole cost and expense of Owner as further provided in the reimbursement agreement. Upon written request, Owner shall advance a deposit sufficient to cover the City's estimated costs of retaining the outside consultant(s). Such deposit shall be replenished as necessary, from time to time, to assure that the City shall not bear any of the cost of the outside consultant.
2.4 Duration of Maps and Project Approvals. Pursuant to Govt. Code Section 66452.6(a), the duration of all tentative maps filed by Owner with respect to the Property or any portion thereof and approved by the City shall remain in effect for the Term of this Agreement and shall terminate concurrently with the termination of this Agreement if no final map is then recorded. If Owner, in its sole and absolute discretion, chooses to process vesting tentative maps, City shall process such vesting maps in accordance with the Applicable Rules and the Subdivision Map Act. Tentative maps, either vesting or non -vesting, may be processed in phases subject to the Applicable Rules and Subdivision Map Act. In addition, all Existing Project Approvals and all plot plans, conditional use permits, substantial conformance determinations and other permits and approvals issued by the City with respect to the Property pursuant to the Specific Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
11 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
Plan shall automatically be extended, without the need for filing extension applications, and shall remain in effect for Term of this Agreement.
2.5 CEQA. The evaluation of environmental impacts for the BEAUMONT POINTE Specific Plan is contained in the project's Environmental Impact Report (ENV2019-0008), a project level environmental impact report certified by the City concurrently with the approval of the Existing Project Approvals. It is the intent of the City, as set forth in the Specific Plan Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.6, that applications for plot plans, substantial conformance approvals and other entitlements that are contemplated by and generally consistent with the Specific Plan shall be addressed administratively. The need for subsequent environmental review shall be evaluated by the Community Development Director pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21166 and the relevant provisions of the CEQA Guidelines. The Community Development Director shall make the determination as to the level of CEQA documentation, if any, (exemption, addendum, supplemental EIR, supplemental MND, or subsequent EIR) that is appropriate and may request and obtain technical information as necessary to make this determination. Further, because the Project has already been extensively analyzed in the EIR, no new CEQA analysis for Subsequent Project Approvals, including but not limited to individual Buildings or phases of the Project is intended to be required, provided that (a) such Buildings or phases comply with the terms and conditions of the Project Rules and this Agreement, and (b) none of the conditions are present that require further environmental review under CEQA on the Effective Date, in particular Public Resources Code Section 21166.
2.6 Development Timing and Phasing.
2.6.1 Generally. The Parties acknowledge that Owner cannot at this time predict with certainty when or the rate at which phases of the Property would be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not all within the control of Owner, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, competition and other factors. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. the City of Camarillo, 37 Ca1.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the Parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development controlling the Parties' agreement, it is the intent of the City and Owner to hereby acknowledge and provide for the right of Owner to develop the Project in such order and at such rate and times as Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective business judgment, subject to the terms, requirements and conditions of the Project Rules, including but not limited to the infrastructure phasing requirements therein, and this Agreement. The City acknowledges that such a right is consistent with the intent, purpose and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement, and that without such a right, Owner's development of the Project would be subject to the uncertainties sought to be avoided by the Development Agreement Laws and this Agreement. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with its reasonable business judgment and taking into consideration market conditions and other economic factors influencing Owner's sole and subjective business judgment, to commence or to continue development, and to develop the Project in a regular, progressive and timely manner in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement and with the Project Rules, however, Owner shall not, by reason of its entry into this Agreement or commencement of any phase of the Project, have an obligation to commence construction of any Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
12 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
phase or portion of the Improvements other than Improvements already commenced and related infrastructure.
2.6.2 Project Not Subject to Restrictions. Subject to Development Agreement Laws, Owner and the City intend that, except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall vest the Project Rules against subsequent City resolutions, ordinances, growth control measures, initiatives and referenda (other than a referendum that specifically overturns the City's approval of the Project Approvals) that would directly or indirectly limit the rate, timing or sequencing of development, or would prevent or conflict with the land use designations, permitted or conditionally permitted uses on the Property, design requirements, density and intensity of uses as set forth in the Project Rules, and that any such resolution, ordinance, measure, initiative or referendum shall not apply to the Project Approvals and the Project. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Specific Plan, this Agreement shall control to the extent of such conflict. The orderly and measured build -out of the Project and the Project Rules will allow for the absorption of the new development into the community and the integration of the Project into the community.
2.6.3 Infrastructure Improvements and Phasing. Consistent with this Agreement and the Project Approvals, each final map implementing the TPM shall include a detailed description of the infrastructure improvements and other requirements for the phase shown in the particular final map. As necessary for orderly development of the Project, the City may modify the Public Improvement requirements necessary to serve each phase as shown on particular final maps so long as such modifications substantially comply with the intent of this Agreement and the Applicable Rules. The infrastructure phasing plan for Public Improvements set forth in Section 5.3 of the Specific Plan has been proposed in response to market demands. The exact order in which the Public Improvements are constructed is dependent upon the location of each Planning Area and its expected development timing. The phasing schedules and figures in the Specific Plan are preliminary and conceptual only and may undergo modification as construction commences. The City agrees that Owner may employ phased final maps, approved in accordance with Govt. Code Section 66452.6, in order to implement the TPM. Construction of the development permitted hereby, including but not limited to coordination of final subdivision maps, may be done progressively in stages in any phasing order, provided the Public Improvements are constructed to adequately service the development and as needed to preserve the public health, safety and welfare in each phase of development and further provided that such phase of development conforms substantially with the intent and purpose of the Specific Plan. Due to possible unforeseen changes in market conditions and absorption rates, actual development of the Project may occur at an accelerated or slower rate in fewer or more phases. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Owner may modify the phasing plan at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, as long as each phase or each Building in each phase is adequately serviced with all necessary Public Improvements. Modifications to the phasing plan shall be not require an amendment to this Agreement or the Specific Plan unless such phasing is inconsistent with this Agreement or the Specific Plan.
2.6.4 Development of Commercial Parcel. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the Project, Owner shall improve and complete the commercial parcel (Planning Area 1) by grading the pad, installing curbs, gutters, storm drains, Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
13 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
surrounding streets and installing utilities in the streets including water, sewer, electricity, natural gas (if applicable), fire lines, telephone lines, and cable as needed to procure building permits for the commercial parcel as required by the Specific Plan. ("Infrastructure Improvements"). The Infrastructure Improvements shall be substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and applicable law.
2.7 Property Acquisition for Offsite Infrastructure. Owner shall, in a timely manner as determined by the City and consistent with the requirements of the Project and the conditions of approval for the Project, acquire the property rights necessary to construct or otherwise provide the Public Improvements contemplated by this Agreement and the Project Approvals. In any instance where Owner is required to construct any Public Improvement on land within the municipal limits of the City, as same are determined following the Annexation of the Property into the City, and to which neither Owner nor the City has sufficient title or interest, including fee title, an easement, right of way or license determined necessary by the City, Owner shall make reasonable, good faith efforts to acquire such title or interest for at least 90 days. For the purposes of this Section, "reasonable good faith efforts" shall include proof that Owner made a written offer to purchase the property interest at fair market value, in accordance with an appraisal conducted by an MAI appraiser. If Owner is unable to acquire such title or interest despite demonstrating to the City such reasonable, good faith efforts, Owner may request of the City in writing and the City shall, subject to compliance with all applicable laws governing notice, hearing and deliberation, consider the acquisition of such title or interest by condemnation provided Owner funds the cost of such activities in advance. If the City intends to approve the acquisition of such title or interest by condemnation, Owner shall first be required to enter into a reimbursement agreement with City whereby Owner deposits monies with City to all costs associated with such acquisition or condemnation proceedings including but not limited to attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, cost of the property interest being acquired and jury awards of any kind and all of the legal, appraisal and other costs reasonably incurred by City related to the acquisition of such title or interest by condemnation in accordance with applicable law. Upon acquisition of the necessary interest in land, or upon obtaining a right of entry, either by agreement or court order, Owner shall commence and complete the public improvements. This requirement shall be included, and, if necessary, detailed, in any subdivision improvement agreement entered into between Owner and the City pursuant to Govt. Code § 66462. If Owner does not perform its obligations under this Agreement after the City Council approves the proposed acquisition through adoption of a resolution of necessity to condemn, the City, in its discretion, may suspend the issuance and effectiveness of the Project Approvals, entitlements and subsequent discretionary approvals (if any) for the Property.
2.8 Fee Credits and/or Reimbursement for Construction of Certain Facilities.
2.8.1 Traffic and Transportation Improvements. Subject to the terms of Section 5.2.8 of the Specific Plan and as a condition to issuance by the City of a certificate of occupancy for the first Building in the phase of the Project for which that improvement or fee is identified in the Traffic Analysis dated September 22, 2023, prepared by Urban Crossroads Inc. ("Traffic Study"), Owner shall (a) pay for and, if requested by the City, construct the traffic and transportation improvements listed on Exhibit "D" to this Agreement ("Offsite Traffic Improvements") and (b) pay Fair Share Fees, other Development Fees and Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees ("TUMF"), applicable to the Project as identified in Table Development Agreement
May 28, 2024
14 City of Beaumont/ Beaumont Pointe
1-4 of the Traffic Study. All Fair Share Fees and other Development Fee payments made by Owner shall be dedicated by the City to funding the cost to construct such improvements. TUMF is administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments ("WRCOG").
2.8.2 Fee Credits. The Offsite Traffic Improvements to be constructed directly by Owner are oversized Public Improvements in that Owner is conditioned to construct such improvements that the Parties agree are identified in the DIF Study and for which the cost will exceed the fees due for such improvements from the Project as specifically provided in the Traffic Study and approved by the City. In consideration for Owner, at its own cost and expense or through a community facilities district, funding and, if requested by the City, constructing such oversized Offsite Traffic Improvements, Owner shall receive credits towards the payment of amounts otherwise due and payable by Owner as Development Fees ("Owner's Fee Credit") provided the oversized Offsite Traffic Improvements are specifically identified in the DIF Study.
TUMF credits are subject to the approval of WRCOG and only WRCOG can grant fee credits to TUMF in its discretion and subject to its rules. The City has no liability or obligations to collect or administer TUMF fees at this time. Alternatively, at the election of the Owner, oversized Public Improvements may be recovered by Owner under the procedures in Section 2.8.3(b) applicable to Additional Capacity
2.8.3 Crossroads Lift Station Upgrades; Reimbursement Agreement. (a) Crossroads Lift Station Upgrade Requirements. Prior to receiving the first certificate of occupancy for any Building on the Property, Owner will be required to make certain upgrades and improvements ("Crossroads Lift Station Upgrades") to the existing off -site Beaumont Crossroads sewer lift station ("Crossroads Lift Station") as specified in the Preliminary Design Memorandum for the Improvements to the Beaumont Crossroads Lift Station dated October 4, 2023 ("Crossroads Design Memorandum").
