Staff Report
Meeting Date: February 3, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Dawn Miller, Assistant to the City Manager Item Name: CDBG Project Prioritization Fiscal Year 2026-2027 - Time and Place Fixed to Consider a Public Hearing to Approve and Adopt a Resolution, Prioritizing Projects to be Funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027, Resolution No. R-01-26.
Recommended Action:
At the duly noticed Public Hearing, the City Council is requested to accept all public testimony regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding proposals, adopt Resolution R-01-26 approving the final prioritized list of recommended CDBG projects for Fiscal Year 2026–2027, and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to implement this action.
Background:
Since the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) program’s inception in 1974, it has provided financial assistance to grantees for a variety of community development purposes. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) uses a formula to calculate the grant amount for each metropolitan city, urban county and state. CDBG funds can be used to benefit low and moderate income residents by building roads, parks, repairing or rehabilitating housing in target areas, by providing new or increased public services to income-qualifying residents, or by funding initiatives that generate new jobs. The County of San Bernardino’s Community Development and Housing Department (“CDH”) currently provides project oversight for CDBG projects through the Urban County program, in which Colton is a partner and joint recipient.
Staff met with the CDBG Ad-hoc Committee on October 14, 2025 to review projects proposed by staff for submittal to CDH by the November 14, 2025 deadline. The CDBG Ad-hoc Committee consists of Mayor Navarro, Councilmember Gonzalez, and Planning Commissioners Baden and Grossich and various staff members. The committee members present approved the list of projects, and an application was submitted for each project to CDH prior to the deadline.
CDH completed its review of Colton applications, and on January 12, 2026, provided a list of eligible project applications. All projects submitted by Colton were deemed eligible for funding.
CDH has requested that Colton submit its list of funding recommendations by February 12, 2026. This list is to be submitted on the Cooperating City Recommended Projects Form and must be formally approved by the City Council. The completed Cooperating City Recommended Projects Form is included as an attachment to Resolution R-01-26.
Issues/Analysis:
The list of eligible project applications provided by CDH includes all projects submitted by the City. This is the same list that was reviewed and approved by the CDBG Ad-hoc Committee on January 13, 2026. As such, staff is recommending that the City Council formally approve this list of projects for formal submission back to CDH prior to the February 12, 2026 deadline. An approved Cooperating City Recommended Projects Form, along with City Council meeting minutes from the applicable City Council meeting, showing this approval, is the required documentation to be submitted to CDH.
Fiscal Impacts:
The City’s anticipated allocation of CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is $250,570, with $37,586 eligible for Public Service projects. CDBG funded projects completed by the City are 100% reimbursable, up to the approved project limit. Funded capital improvement projects will be included in the 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program and will be included in the City’s budget. Funded Public Service projects will be included in the City’s budget by the Community Services Department.
Alternatives:
Provide alternative direction to staff.

City of Colton (San Bernardino Superior Court, Case No. CIVSB2317228) involving the development of two warehouse/office buildings located at 1400 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road within in the Agua Mansa Historic District and within the M-2 (Heavy Industrial) Zone within the City of Colton (“Project”), and
2. To consider approvals of the two industrial projects located at 1400 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road after revision to plans and environmental documents have been updated based on the Superior Court Order above.
Item 1 Superior Court Order.
On September 15, 2020, MIG, Inc., on behalf of Lineage Logistics, LLC and IDI Agua Mansa, LLC, (hereinafter “Applicant”) submitted an application for the Project. The Project required the following entitlements: (1) Architectural and Site Plan Review allowing the construction of two buildings; (2) conditional use permit (“CUP”) allowing one building to exceed the applicable height limit and reach a height of 95 feet; (3) variance allowing one building to provide 114
parking spaces instead of the 314 parking spaces required by the City’s Municipal Code; (4) Major Historic Certificate of Appropriateness allowing development within the Agua Mansa Historic District; and (5) Tentative Parcel Map consolidating 11 parcels into two parcels.
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15183, projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified “shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” Based on the fact that an environmental impact report (“EIR”) was completed as part of the 2013 General Plan Update and that the prior analysis evaluated buildout of the Project site with industrial uses, the City prepared an Initial Study/15183 Analysis (“15183 Analysis”) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21083.3. and State CEQA Guidelines section 15183.
On May 9, 2023, Planning Commission approved the Project, including adoption of the 15183 Analysis. The Planning Commission also recommended that the City Council approve Development Agreements with the Applicant.
Two appeals were then filed: First, the Applicant appealed the Planning Commission’s approval of the CUP, requesting the City Council amend the approval to allow a height of 130 feet because the approved height of 95 feet for one building was insufficient (“Applicant Appeal”).
Second, Marlene Salazar Pongs appealed the Planning Commission’s approval of the Project to City Council (“Pongs Appeal”), alleging violations of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the General Plan, Historic Preservation Act, and other zoning and land use provisions.
On June 20, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. R-60-23, which denied the Pongs Appeal and upheld the Planning Commission’s approvals. The approval included the City Council’s approval and adoption of the 15183 Analysis.
On July 18, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. R-73-23, which granted the Applicant Appeal and modified the CUP to allow one of the buildings to have a maximum height of 130 feet, and approved the Development Agreements.
Subsequently, on July 21, 2023, South Colton Families First and Marlene Salazar Pongs (“Petitioners”) challenged the City Council’s approval of the Project in the Superior Court. The Superior Court issued its ruling on June 3, 2024, finding most of the challenges were without merit but ruled that the 15183 Analysis failed to engage in mitigation analysis as it pertains to operational air quality impacts and that the City’s findings in support of the parking variance were insufficient. On November 19, 2025, the Superior Court entered judgment and a peremptory writ of mandate directing the City to void, vacate, and set aside “the approvals set forth in Resolution Nos. R-60-23 and R-73-23, and any other resolutions related to the Project that rely on findings that [the 15183 Analysis] applies as it relates to significant operational air quality impacts” and the variance granted in Resolution No. R-60-23.
Pending this litigation, on April 2, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. R-15-24,
approving a Modification of Architectural and Site Plan Review, Resolution No. R-16-24, approving a Modification of Zoning Entitlements related to Architectural and Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit and Variance, and Resolution No. R-17-24, approving a Modification of Tentative Parcel Map No. 20358. These actions modified Condition of Approval 1.b, which originally required the dedication of a 90-feet wide full street right of way for construction of Agua Mansa Road along the full length of the Project frontage, to instead provide for a half- street width of 45 feet.
Item 2 - Consideration of Project Approvals for 1400 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road. Staff has noticed and completed the required mailing of letters to property owners/residents within 660 feet of the project area for the City Council's consideration of the four project actions as related to each address. Staff has modified/updated the condition related to development of the 90-foot right-of-way as a condition 1B to 66-foot right-of-way; therefore, a separate action will not be necessary for this clarification. Finally, the City has revised the supporting environmental document related to State CEQA Guidelines section 15183 "Revised 15183 Analysis" as ordered by the Court and attached to this staff report as part of the project consideration.
Issues/Analysis:
Item 1. Superior Court Order. In response to the Superior Court’s peremptory writ of mandate, staff is recommending City Council void, vacate, and set aside the original Project approvals as set forth in Resolution Nos. R-60-23, R-73-23, and Ordinances No.s O-05-23 and O-06-23, including vacation of the parking variance, and vacation of the 15183 Analysis as it relates to significant operational air quality impacts. In addition, because Resolution Nos. R-15-24, R-16- 24, and R-17-24, which modified Condition of Approval 1.b, relied on the 15183 Analysis, staff further recommends City Council void, vacate, and set aside these resolutions.
The City has revised the 15183 Analysis as it pertains to significant operational air quality impacts in compliance with the writ, which is being submitted to City Council for consideration, along with proposed Project approvals, as part of Item 2, discussed further below. Attached in this staff report are excerpts of the Final Initial Study / Consistency Checklist for the Project (See Attachment 2 Exhibit A-1 Excerpts) The entire Final Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Sections and Appendixes are available electronically at the following website link:
https://www.coltonca.gov/779/Environmental-Documents
Attachment 3 includes updated plans for the project which comply with all City Development Standards. The plans are for both 1400 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road and are labeled to differentiate the specific plan types. 1500 W. Agua Mansa Road now includes 314 vehicle parking spaces instead of truck parking, but there still remains a total of 340 parking spaces for truck trailers measuring 12 feet in width by 50 feet in length.
Item 2. Consideration of Project Review for 1400 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road. The recommended actions for Item 2 of this staff report are broken up into multiple areas similar to what was approved in 2023 by the City Council, except the Applicant has provided the required automobile parking instead of truck parking and, as such, the parking variance is no longer needed. Further, the City has prepared a Revised 15183 Analysis described in more detail within
the Environment Review section of this staff report. (Exhibit A-1 is included in each of the City Council Actions)
The following actions proposed for the City Council's consideration are as follows:
• Approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 20358 to allow consolidation of 11 lots into two lots. (See Attachment 4)
• Approval of Major Certificates of Appropriateness Finding that the project is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance, not detrimental to the Historic District, and is consistent with the Colton General Plan. (See Attachment 5) • Approval of the Architectural and Site Plan Review as it pertains to the on-site improvements, landscaping, off-site improvements and Conditional Use Permit as it relates to allowing a 130-foot-high, 474,021 square foot, cold storage warehouse/office building on property located at 1500 Agua Mansa Road. The project will include the provision of 314 vehicle parking stalls and Condition of Approval Number 1B has been updated to reflect the correct the right-of-way development width of 66-feet. (See Attachment 6)
• Approval of the Architectural and Site Plan Review as it pertains to the on-site improvements, landscaping, off-site improvements as it relates to 456,445 square foot warehouse/office building on property located at 1400 Agua Mansa Road. The only change for this project will include the Condition of Approval Number X updated to reflect the correct right-of-way development width of 90-feet. (See Attachment 7) • Approval on first reading Ordinance No. O-03-26 to approve a Development Agreement between the City and IDI Agua Mansa, LLC for the Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project for property generally located at 1400 Agua Mansa Road in the City; (See Attachment 8)
• Approval on first reading Ordinance No,. O-04-26 to approve a Development Agreement between the City and Lineage Logistics, LLC for the Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project, for property generally located at 1500 Agua Mansa Road in the City. (See Attachment 9)
• Development Agreements (DA):
DA No. O-03-26 is for 1500 Agua Mansa Road has been updated with new case number and Ordinance for the City Council to consider. The terms of the agreement are the same as what was approved in 2023 which include:
Assurances:
• Freeze all entitlements for a period of 15 years; and • Freeze existing impact fees for a period of 5 years.
• Public Benefits:
• One-time payment of $4,000,000 to the City;
• One-time contribution of $350,000 to the City for fire truck apparatus; • Assurance that a minimum electric utility transfer payment to the City’s general fund does not fall below $250,000 annually (to be adjusted annually by actual City electric rate
increases), whether or not the solar panels are installed on the structure. This requirement will be in effect as long as the building is in operation; and • Agreement to annex into the City’s Maintenance and Public Safety Community Facilities Districts (subject to 3% annual tax increase).
• It is the opinion of staff that, should the Project entitlements be approved, the negotiated public benefits contained in the Development Agreement are in the short- and long-term interests of the City.
DA No. O-04-26 is for 1400 Agua Mansa Road has been updated with new case number and Ordinance for the City Council to consider. The terms of the agreement are the same as what was approved in 2023 which include:
Assurances:
Freeze all entitlements for a period of 15 years; and
• Freeze existing impact fees for a period of 5 years.

This requirement will be in effect as long as the building is in operation.
It is the opinion of staff that, should the Project entitlements be approved, the negotiated public benefits contained in the Development Agreement are in the short- and long-term interests of the City.
Environmental Review:
The adoption of Resolution No. R-04-26 to void, vacate and set aside the project approvals does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines sections 150609c)(3) and 15378(b)(5) since approval of this Resolution does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), the approval of Resolution No. R-04-26 is exempt from CEQA because there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment.
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15183, projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified shall not require additional
environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project- specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. Here, for purposes of CEQA, the approvals for 14500 and 1500 Agua Mansa Road (Resolution Nos. R-10-26, R-11- 26, R-12-26, and R-13-26, as well as the CUP Resolution and, on first reading, Ordinances Nos.
X and X) is a project subject to CEQA. The City has prepared a revised 15183 Analysis to address the Writ of Mandate issued on November 19, 2025 by the Superior Court related to operational air quality impacts. (See Exhibit A-1 for the Project is available online at:
https://www.coltonca.gov/779/Environmental-Documents) Pursuant to this Revised 15183 Analysis, the City has concluded that the project is in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the General Plan EIR certified by the City Council on August 20, 2013 (Resolution No. R-60-13). Specifically, the Revised 15183 Analysis found that there are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the General Plan EIR and that there are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the General Plan EIR.
Fiscal Impacts:
Approval of the proposed resolutions, ordinances, and Development Agreements for the Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project will result in significant one-time and ongoing community benefits to the City.
Pursuant to the Development Agreement with Lineage Logistics, LLC (Ordinance No. O-03- 26), the City will receive:
o A one-time payment of $4,000,000 to the City prior to issuance of the Project's first building permit;
o A one-time contribution of $350,000 toward fire apparatus prior to the issuance of a grading permit;
o Guaranteed annual payments to the General Fund in the event solar panels are installed on the project; and
o Annexation of the property into the City’s Maintenance and Public Safety Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), resulting in ongoing special tax revenue.
Pursuant to the Development Agreement with IDI Agua Mansa, LLC (Ordinance No. O-04-26), the City will receive:
o A one-time payment of $2,000,000 to the City prior to issuance of the Project's first building permit;
o A one-time capital contribution of $245,000 toward widening of the Rialto Channel Bridge;
o A minimum solar offset payment to the General Fund; and o Annexation of the property into the City’s Maintenance and Public Safety Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), resulting in ongoing special tax revenue.
In addition to these Development Agreement benefits, the Project is anticipated to generate ongoing property tax and employment-related economic activity consistent with the development of industrial logistics facilities of this scale.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
This Initial Study, Consistency Checklist, and attached supporting documents have been prepared to determine whether and to what extent the certified 2013 General Plan Update Program Environmental Impact Report (General Plan EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2012031037) prepared for the City of Colton remains sufficient to address the potential impacts of the proposed Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project (Proposed Project), or whether additional documentation is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000, et seq.).
1.1 - CEQA Assessment
The following Environmental Checklist has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) to determine whether the Proposed Project requires additional environmental review.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified (in this case, the General Plan EIR) shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.
1.2 - Summary of Results
In approving a project which is consistent with the requirements contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as discussed in Section 1.1, CEQA Assessment, the lead agency limits its examination of environmental effects to those which the lead agency has determined meet the following criteria:
1. Effects that are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located;
2. Effects that were not analyzed as significant impacts in the prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, community plan with which the project is consistent;
3. Effects that would result in potentially significant off-site impacts or cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan, or zoning action; or
4. Effects that were previously identified as significant impacts which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time of the prior EIR’s certification, are determined to have a more severe or adverse impacts than discussed in the prior EIR.
Thus, if an impact of the Proposed Project is not peculiar to the parcel or the project, has been addressed as a significant impact in the General Plan EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the implementation of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR does not need to be prepared for the Proposed Project solely on the basis of that impact.

Introduction Initial Study/Consistency Checklist
2 FirstCarbon Solutions
As demonstrated in the following Environmental Checklist in Section 5, the Proposed Project is consistent under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and is found to be in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the General Plan EIR. The checklist analysis found that there are no new significant effects that are peculiar to the Proposed Project or its site and that there are no new significant effects that were not previously evaluated in the General Plan EIR. Additionally, the checklist analysis found that there are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the General Plan EIR, and that there are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the General Plan EIR. This evaluation supports the conclusion that the Proposed Project is within the scope of the General Plan EIR and the approval of the discretionary review and permits required for the Proposed Project. Therefore, no further CEQA documentation is required. The General Plan EIR is available at:

SECTION 2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 - Project Location and Setting
2.1.1 - Project Location
Regional Location
The City of Colton (City) is located in southwestern San Bernardino County, California, approximately 57 miles east of Los Angeles, in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The City is bordered to the east by the City of San Bernardino and the City of Loma Linda; to the south by the City of Grand Terrace, the City of Riverside, and unincorporated Riverside County; to the west by the City of Rialto; and to the north by the City of San Bernardino (Exhibit 1). The planning area of the City, which includes the City boundary and Sphere of Influence (SOI), encompasses approximately 18 square miles.
1 Major highway networks provide regional access, including Interstate 10 (I-10) to the north of the site and Interstate 215 (I-215) to the east.
Local Setting
The project site encompasses approximately 59 acres within the western portion of the City. Much of the area surrounding the project site consists of industrial uses. Industrial land uses serve as the foundation of the City and prioritizing the development of a strong and highly competitive industrial base, especially along the Agua Mansa Road Corridor, is a goal of the City’s 2013 General Plan Update (General Plan) Land Use Element.2 As shown in Exhibit 2, the project site is located north of the Santa Ana River, south of Agua Mansa Road, east of South Rancho Avenue, and west of South Riverside Avenue. The project site is located on the San Bernardino South, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map/Jurupa (Stearns) Land Grant and within Township 1S South, Range 5W in the southeast quarter of Section 25 as well as Township 1S, Range 4W, and in the southwest quarter of Section 30.
The project site is addressed at 1400-1500 West Agua Mansa Road and consists of 11 Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs):
APN 0260-072-08
APNs 0260-072-12 and -13
APNs 0275-041-07, -08, and -09
APNs 0275-041-27, -28, -29, -30, and -31
2.1.2 - Existing Development and Land Use Activities
The project site is currently vacant and is located within an industrial area of the City. The site is relatively flat and was previously graded into rough pads under the ownership of CalPortland. 3 Scattered vegetation occurs along the perimeter of the site. There are no existing structures present.

A 30-foot easement for North Riverside and Jurupa Canal runs through the center of the site in a northwest-to-southeast direction.
Two dirt driveways enter the project site from Agua Mansa Road and several dirt paths extend across the project site. Two concrete foundations associated with former buildings were once located on the northeastern portion of the project site; based on aerial imagery, these foundations no longer exist at the time of this writing.
Several retention basins are located on the project site. The basins previously received stormwater/wastewater runoff from CalPortland Cement Company, located to the north of Agua Mansa Road. The approval of the previous Agua Mansa Grading Project, which occurred on the project site while under the ownership of CalPortland, resulted in the diversion of stormwater to be retained on-site and required that the new drainage system be designed to meet a 50-year storm event. The City requires that residential, commercial, and industrial projects retain all stormwater on-site, and that the new drainage system be designed to meet a 50-year storm event. In accordance with this requirement, the currently proposed drainage system design was reviewed by the City Public Works Department to ensure adequate capacity for the proposed use, in compliance with City standards.4
Concrete and dirt piles, tires, and debris are scattered throughout the project site. Electrical transmission lines are located on the southern and western boundaries and cross the southeast corner of the project site. The project site is bordered to the south by a levee and the Santa Ana River. Access to the subject property is via an entrance gate along Agua Mansa Road.5 The subject property has been owned by the CalPortland Company for approximately 30 years and was used as a buffer property between the Santa Ana River and the cement facility located north of Agua Mansa Road. By 1975, construction of a levee had been completed along the site’s southern boundary. The CalPortland Company leased the site for agricultural use, 6 and the site was previously
developed with at least three residences and several associated agricultural buildings, which are all currently vacant, along the northeastern boundary of the site, from 1931 until 1989.
2.1.3 - Project Site Land Uses, General Plan, and Zoning Designations The project site is located in an area with existing industrial uses, vacant land, warehouses, and similar uses. A residential property is located approximately 2,700 feet east of the project site; however, no areas in the general vicinity are designated for residential use.7 The project site is located within the Agua Mansa Historic District but is not designated as a historic site.8 The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Heavy Industrial and is zoned Heavy Industrial (M-2)

(Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4, respectively). According to the City of Colton Zoning Map, the western portion of the project site also has an MCS-Marijuana Candidate Sites Overlay.9 The Heavy Industrial designation allows land uses including heavy manufacturing, distribution, assembly, resource mining, storage, and similar activities. These types of uses are not normally compatible with residential development and are therefore typically located at some distance from residential development. According to the General Plan, Heavy Industrial development within established areas should be buffered from residential neighborhoods by Light Industrial or Business Park development wherever possible.10 According to General Plan Policy LU-11.5, the City encourages heavy industrial uses and uses that are incompatible with residential or commercial development to be located along the Agua Mansa Road Corridor, defined as the area along the Santa Ana River south to South Riverside Avenue, with West Agua Mansa Road on the west. 11 The M-2 zone permits warehousing uses. According to the City’s Code of Ordinances (Code of Ordinances), the M-2 zone is consistent with the Heavy Industrial General Plan designation proposed as part of this application. The Code of Ordinances also specifies additional landscaping, parking, and setback requirements for the M-2 zone.
12 The M-2 zone includes a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.5 and a maximum building height of three stories or 50 feet. As part of the project application, the project applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow one of the Proposed Project’s two buildings to exceed the 50-foot height limit. The proposed building would have a maximum height of approximately 130 feet.
2.1.4 - Surrounding Land Uses, General Plan, and Zoning Designations North
The project site is bound by Agua Mansa Road to the north. The Colton Aggregate Plant and quarry site of CalPortland, a manufacturer of cement, ready mixed concrete, aggregates, asphalt, and building and construction supplies is located north across Agua Mansa Road, in unincorporated San Bernardino County. Aggregates mined north of the project site include sand, gravel, and crushed stone.13 The areas north of the project site are designated General Industrial (GI) in the San Bernardino County General Plan and are zoned Agua Mansa Specific Plan/Heavy Industrial (AM/SP-H IND).14

Areas zoned for Heavy Industrial in the Agua Mansa Industrial Corridor Specific Plan are utilized for manufacturing, resource extraction, compounding of material, packaging, treatment, processing, or assembly of goods. Heavy industrial uses generally are more land intensive than lighter Industrial uses and usually employ processes which produce more measurable externalities. Activities in the heavy industrial areas are likely to have frequent rail and/or truck traffic and involve the transportation of heavy, large-scale products.
South
The Santa Ana River, the Santa Ana River Trail, the former Colton Sanitary Landfill, and La Loma Hills are located south of the project site. As shown on Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4, the Santa Ana River corridor has a General Plan land use designation of Open Space-Resource and is zoned Open Space Resources (OS-RS) and Public/Institution (P-I) for the areas immediately to the south of the Santa Ana River. Similarly, these areas are designated and zoned OS-RS and P-I, respectively.
The OS-RS designation applies to open space areas necessary for the protection and preservation of unique areas for such purposes as groundwater recharge, flood control, wildlife habitat conservation, and hillside protection. Designated areas include the Santa Ana River and its floodplain, storm drain channels, conservation areas designated for the protection of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly, and steep hillsides and rock outcroppings within the La Loma Hills and Reche Canyon areas. Complementary uses within the OS-RS designation include cemeteries and recreation and equestrian uses.
15 The Public/Institutional designation generally includes all major public, quasi-public, and institutional land uses, including the Civic Center, fire stations, hospitals, libraries, community centers, water treatment facilities, waste disposal facilities, and public schools.
East
To the east, the project site is bound by a wastewater treatment plant, truck and trailer storage facility, and a legal, nonconforming single-family residence. Further east are South Rancho Avenue, manufacturing facilities, warehouse facilities, automobile parts and repair shops, a concrete supplier, and a recycling center. The General Plan land use designations for these areas include Heavy Industrial, Public/Institution, and Light Industrial. The areas east of the project site are zoned Light Industrial (M-1), M-2, and P-I.
The Light Industrial designation supports a variety of fabrication, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, and warehouse uses and, to a lesser degree, supporting commercial and office uses.
The designation is intended for uses that are compatible with those in nearby commercial and residential districts, and do not produce substantial environmental nuisances (noise, odor, dust/smoke, glare, etc.). Uses may include low-intensity packing, assembly, storage, and similar uses that do not adversely affect surrounding residential, office, educational or commercial land uses.

West
Immediately west of the project site is a Walmart warehouse distribution center and associated parking lot. Beyond the Walmart distribution center is a culvert and vacant lands. This area is designated by the General Plan as Heavy Industrial and Public/Institution and is zoned M-2 with an MCS-Marijuana Candidate Sites Overlay. The city limit of the City of Rialto is located approximately
0.43 mile west of the project site with land designated in the City of Rialto’s General Plan and Zoning Map as GI

2.2 - Project Background and Previous Environmental Review
2.2.1 - General Plan
The General Plan is a long-range planning program to guide the orderly growth and development of the Colton planning area over the long term. It is intended to establish the applicable development density and zoning classifications within the City. The General Plan communicates the City’s vision of its future and to establish a policy framework to govern decision-making concerning the physical development of the community, including assurances that the community at large will be supported by an adequate range of public services and infrastructure systems. 18 2.2.2 - General Plan Environmental Impact Report
The City prepared an EIR for the General Plan, which was certified by the City of Colton in 2013. The General Plan EIR is a Program EIR that addresses the environmental impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan, as well as ways the impacts could be reduced to less than significant through implementation of General Plan policies and mitigation measures. A Program EIR is described in Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines as an analytical framework to assess the cumulative environmental effects of the full plan, in a first-tier level of analysis, to identify broad concerns and sets of impacts, and to define/develop regulatory standards and programmatic procedures that reduce impacts and help achieve environmental goals and objectives.19 Later activities proposed pursuant to the goals and policies of the General Plan will be reviewed in light of the General Plan EIR and may focus on those site-specific and localized environmental issues that could not be examined in sufficient detail as part of the General Plan EIR.20 The majority of impacts associated with development consistent with the General Plan were either less than significant (with no need for mitigation) or reduced to less than significant levels by the mitigation measures proposed. The General Plan EIR identified significant and unavoidable environmental impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, recreation, and transportation. The General Plan EIR’s conclusions regarding each topical area are listed in Section 5:

Environmental Checklist, of this document. These impacts and the relevant mitigation measures proposed in the General Plan EIR are discussed under each section in this Consistency Checklist. The City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the General Plan EIR for any remaining impacts that were determined to be significant and unavoidable.
The CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 exemption applies only to the extent that all feasible mitigation measures for a significant effect specified in the General Plan EIR are or will be undertaken by the public agency having jurisdiction to implement such mitigation measures. (CEQA Guidelines § 15183(e)(1),(2)).
To the extent that mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR have not already been implemented and remain applicable to the Proposed Project to ensure identified impacts remain mitigated as analyzed, applicable mitigation measures that apply to the Proposed Project are listed under each section. Accordingly, only the mitigation measures that are applicable to the Proposed Project are listed. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) prepared for the General Plan EIR remains in effect. To facilitate implementation of applicable mitigation measures, a project-specific MMRP has been prepared, identifying the relevant General Plan EIR mitigation measures.
2.3 - Project Description
2.3.1 - Court Ruling Background
On July 18, 2023, the City approved the Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project as detailed more fully below. Following the City’s approval of the Project, South Colton Families First and Marlene Salazar Pongs filed an action alleging that the previous CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist failed to comply with CEQA and that a parking variance was approved in violation of law. (South Colton Families First, et al. v. City of Colton, et al., San Bernardino County Superior Court Case No.
CIVSB2317228.)
On June 3, 2024, the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino (Court) upheld the adequacy of the previous CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist in all aspects with the exception that:
(1) S ignificant operational air quality impacts found in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist were not demonstrated to be substantially mitigated by previously adopted and uniformly applied policies and procedures, such that they are not peculiar environmental effects; and
(2) The CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist analysis failed to demonstrate that feasible mitigation measures for operational air quality impacts were considered in light of the General Plan EIR requirements.
The Court concluded that “[i]t appears that if the City is unable to implement feasible mitigation measures specified in the EIR or find uniformly applied development policies or standards previously adopted by the City will substantially mitigate environmental effects, then the Section 15183 exemption does not apply to significant operational air quality impacts.”
City of Colton–Agua Mansa Logistics Center Project
Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Project Description
FirstCarbon Solutions 9
This revised CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist does both by applying additional environmental measures. This revised checklist (1) implements feasible mitigation measures specified in the EIR and (2) finds that uniformly applied development policies or standards previously adopted by the City will substantially mitigate environmental effects.
The Court also held that the factors and evidence the City considered were insufficient to meet the requirements for a parking variance under Government Code Section 65906. The Proposed Project has withdrawn the request for a parking variance and this revised CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist deletes any reference to the prior variance request.
The Court entered its Judgment and Writ on November 19, 2025. The Court’s retained jurisdiction on the revised CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist is limited to ensuring the City has complied with the Court’s June 3, 2024, ruling:
[T]he trial court’s retained jurisdiction under Public Resources Code Section 21168.9, subdivision (b) is limited to ensuring compliance with the peremptory writ of mandate. After considering the petitioner’s challenges to an EIR or other agency action and rendering a final judgment and peremptory writ of mandate, a trial court evaluating a return to the writ may not consider any newly asserted challenges arising from the same material facts in existence at the time of the judgment. To do so would undermine the finality of the judgment.
Accordingly, we conclude that any challenge to an EIR or other agency action arising from facts in existence before the entry of judgment must be asserted in the proceeding before the entry of judgment. The failure to assert such a challenge before the entry of judgment or the failure to successfully appeal the judgment on an issue arising from facts in existence before the entry of judgment precludes a party from asserting the challenge in connection with post-judgment proceedings concerning compliance with the writ.
(Ballona Wetlands Land Trust v. City of Los Angeles (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 455, 480-481).)
2.3.2 - Development Summary
The project applicants, Lineage Logistics and IDI Logistics, propose to develop two industrial warehouse buildings totaling approximately 930,466 square feet and associated driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, curbs, fencing, gates, lighting, and landscaping on the approximately 59-acre project site (Exhibit 5). As shown on Exhibit 6a and Exhibit 6b, the Proposed Project would dedicate portions of Agua Mansa Road to the City and would vacate portions of this roadway in order to realign Agua Mansa Road with the northern boundary of the project site. Easements for Southern California Edison (SCE), as well as for storm drains, reciprocal access, water, sewer, pipelines, telecommunications, and County flood control would be located primarily on the east and southeast sides of the project site and along the southern boundary. The Proposed Project would require City approval of the project applicants’ request for an Architectural/Site Plan Review, Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate lots (including any easements, dedications, etc.), CUP to allow for the

construction of a building that would be approximately 130 feet in height, Major Historic Certificate of Appropriateness, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), and Development Agreement.
Building 1 would be a 2-story, approximately 474,021-square-foot automated freezer facility with approximately 77,564 square feet of mezzanine space located on approximately 35 acres in the western portion of the project site. Lineage Logistics has applied for a CUP to allow the maximum height of Building 1 to be approximately 130 feet. The freezer facility would be operated by Lineage Logistics. The majority of Building 1 would be a freezer capable of maintaining lows of -20°F (degrees Fahrenheit) but typically operating at -5°F, with dock temperatures ranging from 38°F to 45°F. The freezer facility would operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and would employ approximately 60 employees in two 12-hour shifts. No employees would work in the freezer unit, except during routine maintenance, as the freezer unit would be fully automated. The dock would have approximately 25 to 30 employees in this area at a time, and the automated dock mezzanine would be staffed with five employees at a time. The mechanical area would be staffed by one maintenance person. The office area would consist of two levels. The first level would support the loading dock and employees, and the second level would be for office administration, with a staff of approximately 10 to 15 employees. Because 90 percent of this facility would either be automated or mechanical, the total occupant load would be greatly reduced (compared to typical warehouse operations) with a total of approximately 60 people per shift.
Building 2 would be an approximately 456,445-square-foot speculative concrete tilt-up structure constructed on approximately 24 acres in the eastern portion of the project site. Building 2 would consist of 114,000 square feet of High-Cube Cold Storage Warehouse use (25 percent of total building square footage) and 342,000 square feet of High-Cube Fulfillment Center Warehouse use (75 percent of total building square footage). Building 2 would be a rear-loaded building, with all the dock loading doors facing away from the street, which would allow for additional on-site queueing for both in-bound and out-bound trucks and reduce the visual impact of the trucks from the public street. Building 2 would have a maximum height of approximately 50 feet which is consistent with the maximum allowable height limits of the M-2 zone.
The specifications for Buildings 1 and 2 are summarized in Table 1, below.

2.3.3 - Parking and Circulation
Local access to the project site is provided by Agua Mansa Road, which intersects Main Street and South Rancho Avenue near the project site. The primary truck access points to the local freeway system would be from I-215 at the La Cadena Drive interchange and from State Route (SR) 60 at the Main Street exit.
The main access driveway for trucks entering and exiting the project site would be the existing 50- foot driveway on Agua Mansa Road. A new approximately 26-foot driveway would provide passenger vehicle access to Building 1 in the western portion of the project site, and a new approximately 40- foot driveway would provide passenger vehicle and truck access to Building 2. A large parking lot would be constructed in the center of the project site, between Building 1 and Building 2.
The Code of Ordinances outlines parking requirements for each zoning classification to ensure an adequate number of parking stalls are provided. Within the M-2 zone, the first 10,000 square feet of warehouse space requires one parking stall for every 1,000 square feet. After the first 10,000 square feet, one parking stall is required per every 2,000 square feet. The Code of Ordinances also requires one parking space for every 250 square feet of office space. The total required parking spaces would be 314 stalls for Building 1 and 269 stalls for Building 2. The Proposed Project would provide a total of 314 automobile parking spaces for Building 1, and 270 automobile parking spaces for Building 2, for a total of 584 automobile parking spaces, which meets the parking requirements outlined in the Code of Ordinances.
The Proposed Project would provide 481 trailer stalls: 340 stalls for Building 1, and 141 stalls for Building 2. Bicycle racks would also be provided. Additionally, 2022 California Green Building Standard Codes (CALGreen) would be applicable to the Proposed Project, including 130 or more designated parking spaces for clean air vehicles (any combination of low-emitting, fuel-efficient, and carpool/vanpool vehicles), and installation of electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment to support future charging stations.

2.3.4 - Emergency System and Access
The high freezer portion of Building 1 would have a 100 percent fully automatic dry double-lock pre- action fire suppression system. The building would have a standard sprinkler system, a smoke aspiration detection system with detection points on the roof and inside the racking, and standard smoke detection systems. Emergency access would be provided via a fire access road that would allow emergency vehicles to access the entire perimeter of the facility at any time. The building would have fire access doors with fire signals located every 100 feet around the perimeter of the facility.
The refrigeration system of Building 1 would be a completely closed ammonia system with a central machine room located in the mechanical wing of the facility. This room would be on a mezzanine level located and surrounded by concrete panel walls, concrete floor, and standard roof framing system. In the event of an emergency, the system will automatically shut down, the ammonia would be purged from inside the building directly to the high-pressure receiver located on the exterior of the facility, and the emergency prevention/safety protocol plan would be put in place.
2.3.5 - Landscaping and Fencing
The City requires that a minimum of 15 percent of the project site be utilized for landscaping purposes, which equates to approximately 385,506 square feet of landscaping for both proposed buildings. The Proposed Project includes approximately 419,097 square feet of landscaping, well in excess of the minimum requirements. Project landscaping would be located along setbacks, in parking lots, and along the frontage of buildings. Trees, shrubs, and groundcover would include native plants and vegetation to reduce water use, such as blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida), desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), California pepper tree (Schinus mole), Mexican sage (Salvia leucantha), and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) (Exhibit 7). The landscape area for Building 1 would be approximately 237,372 square feet, or 15.57 percent of the project site, and the landscape area for Building 2 would be approximately 181,725 square feet, or 17.38 percent of the project site.
The landscape for both buildings would be coordinated by a single landscape architect to ensure a continuous aesthetic. Landscaping along the street frontage would be approximately 20 feet from sidewalk to the auto parking area, with a mix of plantings including 36-inch and 24-inch box trees at 20 feet on center and groundcover and shrubbery to soften the streetscape.
Fencing on the project site would include an approximately 8-foot-tall black tubular steel picket fence that would be installed around the western and southern perimeters of the project site, as well as an approximately 14-foot-tall painted concrete screen wall that would be installed just outside the required 20-foot front yard minimum setback along the northern perimeter of the project site, extending around the parking lot in the center of the site (Exhibit 8).
2.3.6 - Building Design and Appearance
A complex construction method called a “rack supported system” would be required for the proposed Building 1. Under the rack supported system, racking that is used to store product on pallets would also support the building walls, roof, refrigeration, and automation systems. This construction method is used for single-story, fully automated buildings from 85 feet to 160 feet tall,

and not occupied by personnel. This method eliminates the need for structural steel columns, structural roof joist, and column foundations and is appropriate for seismic areas.
The proposed warehouse buildings would be painted with gray and metal exteriors (Exhibit 9). The two buildings would use complementary colors and materials to the extent possible due to the unique operational qualities of Building 1. Colors and materials for Building 2 would be light gray concrete walls with blue glass and clear anodized accent canopies at the main building entries.
Building 2 would also have vertical and horizontal articulation in order to create visual interest and break up the mass of the building facing the street. Both of the proposed buildings would be energy- efficient and would utilize modern technology. Building 1 would also utilize highly advanced automation and cold freezer technology.
The approximately 130-foot height limit for Building 1 is required to accommodate the rack supported automated freezer and loading dock, automated internal cranes, and internal refrigeration equipment that enables long-term storage of frozen products on pallets. The approximately 56-foot height portion of the building would consist of an automated cold dock, mechanical area, and an office. The exterior architectural wall system for Building 1 would be constructed from a lightweight freezer panel, which would allow the panels to be hung from the rack supported frame instead of being mounted to the exterior.
The ground and mezzanine levels of Building 1 would be framed using decorative/structural concrete exterior wall panels, standard structural columns, and standard structural roof framing. The shipping and receiving areas and advanced automation sorting and distribution hubs would be located on the ground and mezzanine level, inside the dock. Products would be loaded and unloaded manually from the freezer trucks and transferred to the automation hub, where it would either be distributed into the freezer for storage or discharged to a trailer to be manually loaded. The mezzanine level would also contain an additional automation system that would receive pallets directly from the freezer which would then be sorted and returned to the freezer for storage or to the ground level for discharge. A mechanical support area connected to the loading dock would house the electrical, fire protection, refrigeration, and maintenance support for the entire facility. An office consisting of a ground floor and mezzanine would be connected to the dock.
2.3.7 - Utilities
The City provides electric, water, and wastewater services to the project site.21 The City contracts with the CR&R, Inc. Inland Regional Material Recovery Facility, located at 2059 East Steel Road in Colton, for solid waste, green waste, organic, and recycling disposal.22 Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) provides natural gas services to properties within the city limits within the Southern System—West of Moreno service zone.23

Proposed storm drain easements would be located along the southern perimeter of the project site and along the eastern border of the project site. A proposed sewer easement would be located on the northeast corner of the project site.
Wastewater would be conveyed to a 21-inch City trunk main (gravity) at the intersection of Agua Mansa Road and Rancho Avenue northeast of the project site. This 21-inch main conveys flows south about 1,000 feet, before discharging at the City of Colton’s sewer waste treatment plant which abuts the east property line of the project site. As part of the Proposed Project, this design feature would improve plant operations to divert flows from the 21-inch City main directly to the main plant sump and lift station, and allowing the flows in the 21-inch main to drawdown quicker, creating upstream capacity for the overall system.
2.3.8 - Off-site Improvements
The City is in the process of upgrading the sewer waste treatment plant; however, the precise design and timing for implementation of the improvements is unknown and too speculative to analyze in this evaluation. Accordingly, the Proposed Project would also include off-site improvements to public infrastructure, to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic induced by the Proposed Project.
Proposed off-site improvements include the following and are shown on Exhibit 10:
• Installation of a traffic signal at Driveway 3 of Agua Mansa Road. • Construction of Agua Mansa Road at its ultimate half-width (96-foot right-of-way) from the project site’s western boundary to the eastern boundary, and 3 additional feet for a landscaping easement along the entire south side of the entire project frontage to be maintained by the developer.
• Modification to Driveway 1, 3, and 4 to provide a 45-foot curb radius. The Driveway 1 drive aisle would be shifted by 14 feet and the Driveway 4 drive aisle would be shifted by 5 feet.
Other off-site improvements include capacity improvements to the sewer system that serves the project site. These improvements would accommodate the discharge from the Proposed Project until such time as planned upgrades are completed to the City’s sewer waste treatment plant. These improvements include modifications to the plant operations, diverting flows from the 21-inch City main directly to the main plant sump and lift station, and allowing the flows in the 21-inch main to drawdown quicker, creating upstream capacity for the overall system.
Additionally, the project applicants would dedicate portions of Agua Mansa Road to the City and would vacate portions of this roadway to realign Agua Mansa Road with the northern boundary of the project site. Easements for SCE, as well as for storm drains, reciprocal access, water, sewer, pipelines, telecommunications, and County flood control would be located primarily along the east and southeast boundaries of the project site and along the southern boundary.
