No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this Section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation or compensation for a project work order is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation or compensation for a project work order, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety.

Contractor and its subcontractors shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws. Pursuant to SB 854, which amended the Prevailing Wage Laws, this Agreement would also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Beginning April 1, 2015, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded this Agreement unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5.

Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the Contractor’s principal place of business and at the Project site. It is most efficient for the Contractor to obtain a copy of the prevailing wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement from the website of the Division of Labor Statistics and Research of the DIR located at www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/. In the alternative, Contractor may obtain a copy of the prevailing wages from the City’s Representative.

c. Retain the Labor and Material Security for six months beyond the acceptance of the improvements and automatically release the security unless claims are filed. (Bond No. 0733866 LM, 0733867 LM and 1155938 LM)
d. Release Grading and Erosion Control Securities. (Bond No. 1155939 FP, 1155940 FP, AND R10194)
e. Release the survey monumentation security associated with Tract Map 31373 (Bond No. 0733869)
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Tract Map 31373 subdivided 18.10 acres into 26 single-family residential lots in the A14.4 (Single Family Residential, 14,400 square foot minimum lot size) Zone. The tentative map was originally approved by the City Council on December 6, 2006, and the final map was approved by the City Council on July 18, 2018.
On July 18, 2018, Corona-Upper Drive 25, LLC entered into Improvement and Survey Monumentation Agreements with the City and posted securities for the construction of the street and public improvements, and survey monumentation required for the project.
On June 19, 2019, Corona-Upper Drive 25, LLC, entered into Grading and Improvement Agreements with the City and posted securities for the development of Tract Map 31373.
On September 2, 2020, the City Council approved the reduction of both the Faithful Performance and the Labor and Material Securities by thirty percent (30%) for the NonMaster Planned Public Improvement secured by Bond 0733866. The action also reduced both the Faithful Performance and Labor and Material Securities by fifty percent (50%) for the off-site Public Improvement secured by Bond 1155938. At that time, the master developer had constructed a portion of the improvements secured by the securities.
ANALYSIS:
The project site was graded according to City standards and the approved grading plans.
Therefore, it is appropriate for the City to release the grading and erosion control securities posted for the properties by the applicant. Additionally, the improvements secured by these agreements have been completed and inspected to ensure conformity with City specifications.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Faithful Performance Security for the public improvements will be retained for a period of one year to guarantee repair or replacement of any improvements that fail before the end of the one year. Any written claims against the performance security must be made before the end of the one-year guarantee period, which is set to expire on January 15, 2026. City Staff will release the Faithful Performance Security one year after acceptance of the improvements by the City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 66499.9 (c).
It is necessary to retain the Labor and Material Security for a period of six months, according to the State Subdivision Map Act.
The survey monumentation has been set; therefore, it is appropriate to release the survey monumentation security at this time.
The following is a summary of the securities:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This specific action before the City Council is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely reduces the securities posted for Tract Map 31373.
Since there is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION CERTIFYING THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION AND ADDING TERRITORY TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2016-1 (PUBLIC SERVICES) OF THE CITY OF CORONA (ANNEXATION NO. 25)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The property owner requests annexation into the City’s Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) to provide police protection services (including but not limited to criminal justice services), fire protection and suppression services, and paramedic services (“Public Services”) within and in the area of the District.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-005, certifying the results of an election and adding territory to Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) of the City of Corona (Annexation No. 25).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) (“CFD No. 2016-1” or “District”) was formed by the City Council on March 2, 2016, pursuant to the provisions of the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”), to provide Public Services within and in the area of the District. As part of the formation process and in accordance with the Act, the City Council also established an area designated as the “Future Annexation Area” for CFD No. 2016-1. Further, authorization was provided for annexing parcels within the
Future Annexation Area to CFD No. 2016-1. This would be accomplished upon the unanimous approval and election of the owner(s) of any such parcel authorizing the levy of special taxes upon said parcel and adoption of a resolution by the City Council certifying the results of an election annexing said parcel to CFD No. 2016-1. The annexation of parcels within the Future Annexation Area can be accomplished without any further public hearings or additional proceedings.
ANALYSIS:
FPG Tricon Citron Corona Property, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”) is the owner of a development comprised of 19 single-family residential lots in the City of Corona, County of Riverside, State of California. The net acreage for the entire property in the boundary area is approximately 4.72 acres (“Property”).
The Owner has agreed to annex the Property into CFD No. 2016-1 for the purpose of providing Public Services within and in the area of the District, which is necessary to serve new development within the Property. The Property is within the Future Annexation Area and, thus, can be annexed to CFD No. 2016-1 with the unanimous approval and election of the Owner with tonight’s action.
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the Owner executed the Consent and Waiver to Shortening of Time for Conducting a Special Election, which is on file in the City Clerk’s office and submitted ballots, which authorize the annexation of the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 and the levy of special taxes on the Property to pay for the Public Services.
The attached resolution will certify the results of the election on the annexation of the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 and annex the Property to CFD No. 2016-1.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Per the tax rate set by the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”) of CFD No. 2016- 1, maximum special tax rate for CFD No. 2016-1 is $753.02 per single-family and $522.45 per multi-family residential unit for Fiscal Year 2025. The RMA provides for an annual escalation up to the greater of 4% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on July 1 of each year, subject to the approval of the City Manager.
On March 1 of each year, every residential building for which a building permit has been issued will be subject to special taxes in the ensuing fiscal year. Approval of the attached resolution is anticipated to result in approximately $14,307 of additional annual special tax revenue per year when the Property is fully developed as planned.
The total annexation cost is paid by the Owner.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to
projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely annexes the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 in order to provide funding for police protection, fire protection and suppression and paramedic services and there is no possibility that adopting this resolution will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION CERTIFYING THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION AND ADDING TERRITORY TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2016-1 (PUBLIC SERVICES) OF THE CITY OF CORONA (ANNEXATION NO. 26)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The property owner requests annexation into the City’s Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) to provide police protection services (including but not limited to criminal justice services), fire protection and suppression services, and paramedic services (“Public Services”) within and in the area of the District.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-006, certifying the results of an election and adding territory to Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) of the City of Corona (Annexation No. 26).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Public Services) (“CFD No. 2016-1” or “District”) was formed by the City Council on March 2, 2016, pursuant to the provisions of the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”), to provide Public Services within and in the area of the District. As part of the formation process and in accordance with the Act, the City Council also established an area designated as the “Future Annexation Area” for CFD No. 2016-1. Further, authorization was provided for annexing parcels within the
Future Annexation Area to CFD No. 2016-1. This would be accomplished upon the unanimous approval and election of the owner(s) of any such parcel authorizing the levy of special taxes upon said parcel and adoption of a resolution by the City Council certifying the results of an election annexing said parcel to CFD No. 2016-1. The annexation of parcels within the Future Annexation Area can be accomplished without any further public hearings or additional proceedings.
ANALYSIS:
Sajid Bari Syed and Memona Begum Syeda, and Pacific Premier Trust (“Owners”) are the owners of a 2-lot subdivided residential lot in the City of Corona, County of Riverside, State of California. The net acreage for the entire property in the boundary area is approximately 1.80 acres (“Property”).
The Owner has agreed to annex the Property into CFD No. 2016-1 to provide Public Services within and in the area of the District, which is necessary to serve new development within the Property. The Property is within the Future Annexation Area and, thus, can be annexed to CFD No. 2016-1 with the unanimous approval and election of the Owner with tonight’s action.
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the Owner executed the Consent and Waiver to Shortening of Time for Conducting a Special Election, which is on file in the City Clerk’s office and submitted ballots, which authorize the annexation of the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 and the levy of special taxes on the Property to pay for the Public Services.
The attached resolution will certify the results of the election on the annexation of the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 and annex the Property to CFD No. 2016-1.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Per the tax rate set by the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”) of CFD No. 2016- 1, maximum special tax rate for CFD No. 2016-1 is $753.02 per single-family and $522.45 per multi-family residential unit for Fiscal Year 2025. The RMA provides for an annual escalation up to the greater of 4% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on July 1 of each year, subject to the approval of the City Manager.
On March 1 of each year, every residential building for which a building permit has been issued will be subject to special taxes in the ensuing fiscal year. Approval of the attached resolution is anticipated to result in approximately $1,506 of additional annual special tax revenue per year when the Property is fully developed as planned.
The total annexation cost is paid by the Owner.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to
projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely annexes the Property to CFD No. 2016-1 in order to provide funding for police protection, fire protection and suppression and paramedic services and there is no possibility that adopting this resolution will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING AND ELECTION FOR ANNEXATION NO. 40 INTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2016-3 (MAINTENANCE SERVICES)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to consider the property owner’s annexation request into the City’s Community Facilities District No. 2016-3 (Maintenance Services) to provide maintenance services for public facilities within and for the benefit of the proposed development.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-001, calling a special election and submitting to the qualified electors of the territory proposed to be annexed to Community Facility District No. 2016-3 (Maintenance Services) of the City of Corona the question of levying special taxes within the territory proposed to be annexed (Annexation No. 40).
b. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-002, declaring the results of the special election for Community Facilities District No. 2016-3 (Maintenance Services) of the City of Corona on the proposition of the annual levy of special taxes within the territory proposed to be annexed to said Community Facilities District to pay the costs of certain services to be provided by the Community Facilities District, determining
that the territory proposed to be annexed is added to and part of said Community Facilities District with full legal effect (Annexation No. 40).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On December 7, 2016, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2016-112 establishing Community Facilities District No. 2016-3 (Maintenance Services) of the City of Corona ("CFD No. 2016-3" or "District") for the purpose of levying special taxes on parcels of taxable property to provide certain services which are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City.
On November 20, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-103, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory to CFD No. 2016-3 and commence the annexation proceedings for the territory to be annexed, also shown as Annexation No. 40. A public hearing was set for January 15, 2025, to conduct an election for the landowners and to declare the results of that election.
As required by the Resolution of Intention, an annexation map was recorded on November 26, 2024, at 1:06 p.m. in Book 94 Page 76, Document No. 2024-0363437, and the potential annexation area boundary map was recorded on November 7, 2016, at 4:40 p.m. in Book 80 Page 23, Document No. 2016-0494013 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts with the Riverside County Recorder.
ANALYSIS:
The City Council adopted the Resolution of Intention in response to the Petition filed by FPG Tricon Citron Corona Property, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), property owner of APN 110-342-031 within the City, who have requested that the City assist in annexing territory into CFD No. 2016-3 to cover the costs associated with the maintenance of public improvements. The improvements proposed to be maintained include items such as landscaping, lighting, streets, drainage, parks, and graffiti abatement.
The area proposed within Annexation No. 40 will encompass a development comprised of 4.72 gross acres which will include 19 residential units (“Property”). The Property proposed to be annexed into CFD No. 2016-3 will be included in Tax Zone 40. This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $991 per unit per year for maintenance services of public facilities. No services are being funded by the levy of Special Tax B for contingent services. The Maximum Special Taxes are proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%.
The Petition, including the waiver and consent by the Owners, is on file in the City Clerk's office, and authorizes the City to: (1) hold the election and declare election results; (2) shorten election time requirements; (3) waive analysis and arguments; and (4) waive all noticing requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing scheduled for January 15, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
On June 1 of each year, every building for which a building permit has been issued will be subject to the special taxes in the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be on property with recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property.
The proposed total maximum assessment rate for Tax Zone 40 for Special Tax A is $991 per unit per year. The assessment rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. This annexation will yield an estimate of $18,824 annually in special assessment revenue for the District at build-out as planned.
The total annexation cost is being paid by the property owner.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely annexes the Property to CFD No. 2016-3 and there is no possibility that adopting this resolution will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On December 7, 2016, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2016-112 establishing Community Facilities District No. 2016-3 (Maintenance Services) of the City of Corona ("CFD No. 2016-3" or "District") to levy special taxes on parcels of taxable property to provide certain services necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City.
On November 20, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-104, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory to CFD No. 2016-3 and commence the annexation proceedings for the territory to be annexed, also shown as Annexation No. 41. A public hearing was set for January 15, 2025, to conduct an election for the landowners and to declare the results of that election.
As required by the Resolution of Intention, an annexation map was recorded on November 26, 2024, at 1:06 p.m. in Book 94 Page 77, Document No. 2024-0363438, and the potential annexation area boundary map was recorded on November 7, 2016, at 4:40 p.m. in Book 80 Page 23, Document No. 2016-0494013 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts with the Riverside County Recorder.
ANALYSIS:
The City Council adopted the Resolution of Intention in response to the Petition filed by Sajid Bari Syed and Memona Begum Syeda, and Pacific Premier Trust (“Owners”), property owners of APN 116-320-029 within the City, who have requested that the City assist in annexing territory into CFD No. 2016-3 to cover the costs associated with the maintenance of public improvements. The improvements proposed to be maintained include items such as landscaping, lighting, streets, parks, and graffiti abatement.
The area proposed within Annexation No. 41 will encompass a development comprised of 1.80 gross acres which will include 2 residential units (“Property”). The Property proposed to be annexed into CFD No. 2016-3 will be included in Tax Zone 41. This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $3,547 per unit per year for maintenance services of public facilities. There are no services being funded by the levy of Special Tax B for contingent services. The Maximum Special Taxes are proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%.
The Petition, including the waiver and consent by the Owners, is on file in the City Clerk's office, and authorizes the City to: (1) hold the election and declare election results; (2) shorten election time requirements; (3) waive analysis and arguments; and (4) waive all noticing requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing scheduled for January 15, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
On June 1 of each year, every building for which a building permit has been issued will be subject to the special taxes in the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be on property with recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property.
The proposed total maximum assessment rate for Tax Zone 41 for Special Tax A is $3,547 per unit per year. The assessment rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. This annexation will yield an estimate of $7,095 annually in special assessment revenue for the District at build-out as planned.
The total annexation cost is being paid by the property owner.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the resolutions may have a significant effect on the environment, the action is not subject to CEQA. This action merely annexes the Property to CFD No. 2016-3 and there is no possibility that adopting the above resolution will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
CANVAS ON THE CURB PILOT PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to receive an update on the Canvas on the Curb Pilot Program and provide direction on the future of the Program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council provide direction on the future of the Canvas on the Curb Program.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On January 12, 2022, the City Council was presented with information on program options to transform existing utility cabinets into public art displays. The presentation included information gathered from programs at eight (8) different public agencies, pros and cons for various options on administering the program, and requested direction on proceeding with a pilot program for the City of Corona. The City Council provided feedback to staff, which was utilized to design a pilot program. On June 8, 2022, the City Council received the proposed Utility Box Art Program information, provided direction for the City to fund the wrapping of the first box to kick off the program, and approved proceeding with the project.
The project was renamed the “Canvas on the Curb” program, and it sought to beautify seven (7) existing City-owned traffic signal cabinets during its pilot phase with vinyl wrap using local artists’ work. All areas of the City, except Grand Blvd., were eligible for the program, totaling 144 possible artwork locations. The City agreed to fund 50% of the
program costs for the first year. Program materials and guidelines were developed and attached to this staff report. Subsequently, a call for artists was announced on social media on September 15, 2022. Staff also contacted the Corona Art Association and high school art teachers at Corona, Centennial, and Santiago High Schools.
ANALYSIS:
38 artwork submissions were received by the October 19, 2022, deadline, with the artist's preferred locations for their artwork. City staff from the Public Works Department, Community Services Department, and Communications Office narrowed down the submissions to 15 semifinalists. On February 28, 2023, the City launched an online poll for the public to vote for their favorite artwork. When the survey closed on March 18, 2023, a total of 678 votes had been received, and the top seven (7) pieces of artwork were identified and presented to the City Council for their review and approval.
Upon the City Council's approval of the artwork, the seven (7) utility boxes were wrapped.
The canvases display the artist's name, the name of the art piece, and the name of the sponsor.
With the pilot phase in completion, staff is seeking direction on the program's continuation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Continuation of the program in its current form will result in a fiscal impact of $16,240 for seven (7) boxes per year. Staff will seek sponsorships to offset the cost of each box by $1,500, which can reduce the financial impact by up to $10,500. Sufficient funding is available in the Community Services Department operating budget within the General Fund 110 to support this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to provide direction on the continuation of the Canvas on the Curb program, and there is no possibility that approving this agreement will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

PROGRAM GUIDELINES
PROGRAM GOALS
The City of Corona’s Canvas on the Curb Program (“Program”) seeks to showcase local artists by transforming seven (7) City-owned traffic signal cabinets into public works of art. The goals of the Program are to build community, highlight the talent of Corona’s artists, and enrich the community through displays of art that embodies Corona’s rich diversity and history.
PROGRAM PROCESS
1. Artists will be required to submit a Canvas on the Curb Submission Form, signed waiver, and a picture or conceptual sketch of the artwork or planned design in the template provided. The artist will be required to identify three preferred locations for the installation of the artwork from the list of traffic signal locations provided on the Program website. The City retains sole authority to determine which, if any, artwork designs will be installed and the locations of where each selected artwork will be installed. There is no guarantee that the artist’s artwork will be installed at any of the artist’s preferred locations.
2. Art submissions will be reviewed by City staff and provided to the City Council for final approval. Make sure to review the Do’s and Don’t section before submitting your form.
3. Artists will be notified if their artwork has been selected for placement on a traffic signal cabinet. Artist will be required to sign an artist license agreement with the City. Each selected artist will receive a $300 stipend. Upon request, artists shall provide their artwork to the City in a high-quality print-ready format.
4. The City will issue a call for sponsors to the public, inviting businesses, service organizations and the community to sponsor a piece of artwork with a $1,500 donation.
5. The City of Corona will work with a contractor to digitize the selected artwork, if necessary, convert the selected artwork to a vinyl wrap, and install the selected artwork on a traffic signal cabinet.
6. Information on the artist and sponsor will be posted on the traffic signal cabinet in a 4” x 6” space on the sidewalk side of the cabinet, as well as the City’s website.
Additionally, all Program participants, including selected artists and sponsors, will be recognized at a City Council meeting.
7. The City of Corona is responsible for the maintenance of the cabinets. Any graffiti will be removed by the City at the City’s expense. Artwork will be guaranteed to be installed for a one-year period. If the cabinet is damaged or replaced, artwork may be replaced after one year at the City’s sole discretion and expense.
ARTIST ELIGIBILITY
The Program is open to all Corona residents that are:
Professional artists;
Amateur artists 16 years or older; and
High school art, digital or graphic arts and photography teachers and their students (ages 16 and above).
To be considered for the Program, all artists shall complete and submit the submission form with basic information and a sketch (using the included template) of the artwork.
The proposed artwork should cover all four sides and the top of the traffic signal cabinet.
The artist will also be asked to provide a brief summary on why they’d like to be a part of the Program. All artists will be required to certify that they are the original creators of the artwork, sign a waiver and execute a license agreement allowing the City to utilize the artwork for installation on a traffic signal cabinet and for purposes of advertising the Program. The original art and all rights thereto will be retained by the artist.
Artists whose artwork is selected for the Program will be notified and will be asked to complete a W-9 Form in order to receive the stipend payment from the City of Corona.
ARTWORK GUIDELINES
All artwork will be digitized and used to create vinyl wraps that are applied to traffic signal cabinets owned by the City of Corona. Traffic signal cabinets may vary in size; see the submission form for the basic size. The vinyl wrap will be installed by a professional contractor and will contain a protective UV coating to reduce sun damage and allow for easy removal of graffiti.
The artwork design may not restrict any vents or airflow through the cabinets. If necessary, layout edits to the artwork may be required to ensure vents and airflow are not restricted. The City must be able to fully access the cabinet and the components and
equipment inside the cabinet at all times. Any concrete bases shall not be included in the available area for art.
When artwork is placed on the City’s traffic signal cabinets pursuant to the Program, the artwork constitutes City speech. By establishing the Program, the City does not intend to create any type of forum for private speech.
Artwork Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
Provide family-friendly artwork suitable for viewing by all ages. Use bright colors and images that can be visible from a distance. Consider incorporating Corona’s heritage, events, landmarks, milestones, and images that highlight the local community and activities. Seek to build community, improve the quality of life and highlight Corona’s cultural uniqueness.
Create images of nature, inspiration, and beauty.
Ensure that space. 4” x 6” in area, is available on the sidewalk side of your design for the placement of a plaque that recognizes both the artist and the sponsor. If no space is left, the City will select a spot on the sidewalk side of the box. Be original, creative and have fun. Artwork medium can be paint, pastels, digital, photography or just about anything that can be digitized and printed on vinyl wrap.
Don’t:
Use profanity or violent images.
Advertise a business, political view or religion.
Use a copyrighted or trademarked image.
Defame or invade the rights of any person or group, living or dead. Leave any sides or top of the cabinet blank – use the whole canvas.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ARTWORK
Apply online at www.CoronaCA.gov/ARTWORK or by downloading the forms and emailing [email protected].
All submissions are due by XXXX. All artists will be notified if their artwork has been selected or not.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2023-0001 ESTABLISHING A BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE FACILITY ON A COMBINED 5.5 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF COTA STREET AND RINCON STREET IN THE M-1 (LIGHT MANUFACTURING) ZONE (APNS: 119-190-002, 003 & 011) (APPLICANT: CIRCLE
CITY ENERGY STORAGE, LLC)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to affirm the decision by the Planning and Housing Commission in granting Conditional Use Permit 2023-0001 (CUP2023-0001) establishing a battery energy storage facility that would connect to Southern California Edison’s (SCE) electrical grid supporting renewable energy resource generation and electric reliability.
The combined project site is 5.5 acres located at the northwest corner of Cota Street and Rincon Street in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Take no action, thereby affirming the Planning and Housing Commission’s action granting CUP2023-0001, based on the finding contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.
OR
b. Set the item for review at a subsequent meeting.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The project site is currently occupied by two tenants, Trench Shoring Company and Sully’s Precision Grading. The site currently contains an office, modular units, and heavy equipment storage, on land unimproved. All existing structures and equipment will be removed to support the development of the project proposed by CUP2023-0001. The project site consists of three parcels totaling 5.5 acres and are the remaining parcels to be developed in this general area.
ANALYSIS:
The battery energy storage facility would connect to the existing Southern California Edison (SCE) electrical grid through an agreement with SCE to provide additional capacity to the existing electrical grid in the area. The project is designed to input or output electricity via several battery storage containers with associated on-site support facilities consisting of a project substation (denoted as Fretboard substation on the site plan), inverters, collector lines, fencing, access roads, operations and maintenance building, supervisory control, a SCADA system, a SCE owned switchyard / substation (denoted as Headstock switchyard on the site plan), and other ancillary facilities or equipment. The facility would assist with serving the load during periods of peak demand by charging when demand is low and discharging when demand is high.
The project site will be graded with 4.22 acres accommodating the battery storage facility, and 1.19 acres consisting of a combination of low maintenance, self-treating ground cover and compacted aggregate base. The project will consist of 120 battery energy storage enclosures and power conversion system (PCS) units. Each battery energy storage enclosure would have insulation, a module cooling system, a battery management system, and fire detection with a separate PCS enclosure containing the electronic controls, inverters, and transformer. The battery energy storage enclosures (BESS) would be designed such that the periodic maintenance and replacement of underperforming battery components can be easily performed on an as-needed basis without replacing the entire module.
The BESS units are approximately 28 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10.5 feet tall (including a one-foot base). The project’s 1,260 square foot substation (fretboard substation), measuring 35 feet in height, is proposed along the eastern portion of the site. The 2,401 square foot SCE headstock switchyard, measuring 28 feet in height, is also proposed along the eastern portion of the site.
Electric energy would be transferred from the existing power grid to the project batteries during a battery charging cycle, and from the project batteries to the power grid during a battery discharge cycle. The fretboard substation would be the termination point of the collection system of 34.5 kV electricity and would convert it to 66 kV at the step-up
transformer. The power would then be sent through the SCE headstock switchyard and transferred to existing SCE facilities located along Cota Street.
Once constructed, the project would operate seven days per week, 365 days per year, and the facility would be operated remotely by the applicant. Maintenance staff would visit the substation periodically for general operational activities. Maintenance trucks would be utilized to perform routine maintenance, including but not limited to equipment testing, monitoring, repair, routine procedures to ensure service continuity, and standard preventative maintenance. Routine operations would require one or two workers in a light utility truck to visit the facility on a weekly basis. Typically, one major maintenance inspection would take place annually.
Power Poles
Two existing wooden SCE utility poles measuring approximately 70 and 75 feet in height would be replaced with 85- and 95-foot-tall utility poles on the west and east sides of Cota Street. The replacement poles would be constructed of steel and will not increase the total number of poles within the city’s right-of-way. The pole will include fiber optic cable, including both overhead and underground facilities within the project site and SCE franchise right-of-way.
While not related to this CUP, for the project to interconnect to SCE facilities, improvements and distribution upgrades will need to be completed within existing SCE substations located elsewhere, including the Corona Substation located at the northeast corner of Railroad St. and Cota St. Improvements along Cota Street between Railroad Street and River Road include the reconductoring of approximately 2,600 feet of existing 66 kV facilities and potential replacement of nine wood poles with wood or light steel poles of a similar height.
Walls and Fencing
Decorative perimeter split face masonry walls ranging from nine to 11.5 feet high as measured from the highest grade along Rincon Street and Cota Streets is proposed behind the required landscaped setback areas. Several portions of the walls will be structural retaining walls, particularly through the middle of the site where the east and west lots are separated. Interior walls will stand a minimum of nine feet in height to screen the BESS units and SCE headstock switchyard and fretboard station.
The wall setback along Rincon Street is 20 feet behind the site’s landscaping, and 40- foot behind a SCE public utility easement along Cota Street. The walls will provide security and screening of the project site and include decorative caps and pilasters spaced 50 feet on- center.
Access and Public Right-of-Way Improvements
Both vehicular and pedestrian access to the project site will be provided by two proposed driveways from Rincon Street, in addition to one proposed driveway along Cota Street, which provides dedicated access to SCE’s headstock switchyard. Per the City’s General Plan Circulation Element, both Rincon and Cota Streets are identified as collector streets with an overall right-of-way width of 68 feet. The project will be required to dedicate four feet along both street frontages of Rincon and Cota Streets to provide the 34-foot half width street requirement, which includes a five-foot sidewalk and 6.6-foot landscaped parkway with curb and gutter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The applicant paid the application processing fees of $7,813.14 to cover the cost of the Conditional Use Permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Per Sections 15332, 15301, 15302, 15303 and 15304 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.28 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because the project qualifies as a Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects), Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 3 (New Construction or Alteration of Small Structures), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) categorical exemption. The project will occur within city limits and proposes to grade 4.22 acres of onsite area and 0.12 acres which will be dedicated to the city for right-of-way purposes.
The project also includes 1.19 acres of undeveloped area to be landscaped for water quality treatment purposes. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Furthermore, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Per Figure 2-6 of the Corona General Plan, the project site has a high potential for containing the presence of paleontological resources (i.e., fossils). To mitigate impacts to paleontological resources, the project is required to comply with the requirements set forth in the Corona General Plan 2019 Draft Environmental Impact Report that pertain to mitigating impacts to paleontological resources.

BACKGROUND
CUP2023-0001 is a proposal to construct and operate a battery energy storage facility on three parcels totaling 5.5 gross acres located at the northwest corner of Cota Street and Rincon Street. The applicant is Circle City Energy Storage, LLC. The battery energy storage facility would connect to the existing Southern California Edison (SCE) electrical grid through an agreement with SCE to provide additional capacity to the existing electrical grid in the area. The facility would assist with serving load during periods of peak demand by charging when demand is low and discharging when demand is high. Per the applicant, the battery technology utilized by the project is similar to the technology used in electric vehicles. Per Section 17.92.030 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC), public utility structures and installations are permitted in any zone with approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
The project site is currently occupied by two tenants - Trench Shoring Company and Sully’s Precision Grading. The site currently contains an office, modular units and heavy equipment storage, which will be removed. The project site’s western topography is relatively flat and varies between 595 to 592 feet above mean sea level (MSL) along the western portion. The eastern portion of the site ranges from 591 to 584 feet above MSL. The project will be graded with a cut of approximately 26,585 cubic yards and a fill of 5,584 cubic yards, with an export of 21,000 cubic yards, according to the project’s grading plan, Exhibit 7.
The project was initially reviewed by the Development Plan Review (DPR) Committee on June 16, 2022. The applicant formally submitted the CUP application on February 9, 2023, and the application was reviewed by the Project and Environmental Review Committee (PRC) on March 2, 2023. The applicant modified the plans on several occasions based on numerous comments provided by city staff. Revised plans were subsequently submitted, and the application was deemed complete on November 7, 2024.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is an infill property currently utilized as a heavy equipment storage yard by two companies. The applicant proposes a long term lease with the property owner to construct and operate a battery energy storage facility (Circle City Battery Energy Storage System ([BESS]).
The project includes energy storage facilities that would be utilized to provide grid reliability and associated public service to both the local and regional electrical grid. The project is designed to input or output electricity via several battery storage containers with associated on-site support facilities consisting of a project substation (denoted as Fretboard substation
on the site plan), inverters, collector lines, fencing, access roads, operations and maintenance building, supervisory control, a SCADA system, a SCE owned switchyard / substation (denoted as Headstock switchyard on the site plan), and other ancillary facilities or equipment. See Exhibit 3 (Site Plan). The project supports renewable energy resource generation that would ensure electric reliability throughout the city as specified in the city’s Climate Action Plan.
Once constructed, the project would operate seven days per week, 365 days per year, and the facility would be operated remotely by the applicant. Maintenance staff would visit the substation periodically for general operational activities. Maintenance trucks would be utilized to perform routine maintenance, including but not limited to equipment testing, monitoring, repair, routine procedures to ensure service continuity, and standard preventative maintenance. Routine operations would require one or two workers in a light utility truck to visit the facility on a weekly basis. Typically, one major maintenance inspection would take place annually. Per the Corona Municipal Code, there are no parking requirements for public utility structures and installations use.
Site Plan
The site plan depicts several rectangular-shaped battery energy storage enclosures (BESS units) and power conversion system (PCS) units located along the center of the subject site.
The BESS units are approximately 28 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10.5 feet tall (including a one-foot base). See Exhibit 5. The project’s 1,260 square foot substation (fretboard substation), measuring 35 feet in height, is proposed along the eastern portion of the site.
See Exhibit 6. The 2,401 square foot SCE headstock switchyard, measuring 28 feet in height, is also proposed along the eastern portion of the site. The headstock switchyard is included in the photo simulations, Exhibit 8. The existing Verizon cell tower located along the northern portion of the site will remain and direct access will be provided from one of the proposed driveways along Rincon Street.
In order to accommodate the project, the site will be graded with 4.22 acres accommodating the project, 1.19 acres improved with a combination of low maintenance, self-treating ground cover and compacted aggregate base, and the remainder acreage reserved for public improvements outside of the project area. Exhibit 4 depicts a colored representation of the project site. As stated, the project site is fairly level, however, the corner lot closest to Rincon and Cota Streets has an existing sloped drop from the other two adjoining lots, and as a result, grading would be required throughout most of the site, including for the construction of roads, the onsite substation, battery enclosures and inverter pads. The site and grading plans are provided as Exhibits 3 and 7, respectively.
The site plan complies with the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) development standards including the required 15-foot landscaped setbacks along Rincon and Cota Steets. Although the BESS units, fretboard substation and SCE headstock switchyard are not buildings as defined by the Corona Municipal Code, the structures within the project are below the M-1 zone’s 40- foot building height limit.
Project Characteristics
The project includes the placement of 120 battery energy storage enclosures and power conversion system (PCS) units. Each battery energy storage enclosure would have insulation, a module cooling system, a battery management system, and fire detection with a separate PCS enclosure containing the electronic controls, inverters, and transformer. The BESS enclosures would be designed such that the periodic maintenance and replacement of underperforming battery components can be easily performed on an as-needed basis without replacing the entire module.
Electric energy would be transferred from the existing power grid to the project batteries during a battery charging cycle, and from the project batteries to the power grid during a battery discharge cycle. The fretboard substation would be the termination point of the collection system of 34.5 kV electricity and would convert it to 66 kV at the step up transformer. The power would then be sent through the SCE headstock switchyard and transferred to existing SCE facilities located along Cota Street.
To facilitate the power transfer, two existing wooden SCE utility poles measuring approximately 70 and 75 feet in height would be replaced with 85- and 95-foot-tall utility poles installed in locations on both the west and east sides of Cota Street. The replacement poles would be constructed of steel and will not result in an increase in the total number of poles within the city’s right-of-way. The pole will include fiber optic cable, including both overhead and underground facilities within the project site and SCE franchise right-of-way.
Colored photo-simulations are provided in Exhibit 8.
While not related to this CUP, in order for the project to interconnect to SCE facilities, improvements and distribution upgrades will need to be completed within existing SCE substations located elsewhere, including the Corona Substation located at the northeast corner of Railroad St. and Cota St. Improvements along Cota Street between Railroad Street and River Road include the reconductoring of approximately 2,600 feet of existing 66 kV facilities and potential replacement of nine wood poles with wood or light steel poles of a similar height. See Exhibit 9.
Lighting and Security
The project proposes motion sensor security lighting and includes four 360 degree security cameras. Exact locations of these cameras are not specified on the project layout due to
security purposes. Lighting is proposed in areas for optimal safety, security, or operations, and would be directed onsite and include shielding as necessary to minimize illumination of the night sky or potential impacts to surrounding viewers. A photometric plan has been conditioned to be submitted during plan check.
As the project is actively pulling and injecting energy into the grid, the site will be remotely monitored on a 24/7/365 basis in an offsite control room. If there were to be a security incident, the applicant would be able to immediately identify the issue and alert necessary parties.
Walls and Fencing
The project proposes decorative perimeter split face masonry walls that range from nine to
11.5 feet in height as measured from the highest grade along Rincon Street and Cota Streets, behind the required landscaped setback areas. Several portions of the walls will be structural retaining walls, particularly through the middle of the site where the east and west lots are separated. Interior walls will stand a minimum of nine feet in height to screen the BESS units and SCE headstock switchyard and fretboard station.
Along Rincon Street, the wall is proposed behind a 20-foot landscaped setback and; along Cota Street, the wall is proposed behind a 40-foot SCE public utility easement. The walls will provide security and screening of the project site and include decorative caps and pilasters spaced 50 feet on center.
The project also includes wrought iron gates with dense mesh screening at all driveways.
Along the western and northern property lines, existing chain link fencing not owned by the applicant will remain. Proposed walls and fencing comply with the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) development standards and with the City’s Industrial Design Guidelines, which call for screen walls to not to exceed 12 feet in height. The Wall and Fence Plan is provided as Exhibit
10. Landscaping
The Conceptual Landscape Plan is provided as Exhibit 11 and proposes the following:
• Within the 20-foot landscaped setback along Rincon Street, 36-inch box Canary Island Pine trees, a variety of shrubs and ground cover are proposed. These trees reach an average mature height of approximately 80 feet. • Within the northern portion of the site, existing mature trees will remain and serve to screen the proposed SCE headstock switchyard and fretboard substation.
• Along Cota Street, a variety of tree specimens are proposed (located outside of the 40-foot SCE utility easement), with screen shrubs and decomposed granite between the trees and the screen wall located along the eastern portion of the site. • A 14-foot wide decomposed granite setback is proposed within the SCE easement (located behind the proposed five-foot wide public sidewalk) to match the setback in the industrial development located to the south of Rincon Street. • Within the 1.19-acre area located at the western and northwestern portions of the site, a combination of drought tolerant ground cover with compacted aggregate base material is proposed.
Access and Public Right-of-Way Improvements
Both vehicular and pedestrian access to the project site will be provided by two proposed driveways along Rincon Street, in addition to one proposed driveway along Cota Street – the latter providing dedicated access to SCE’s headstock switchyard. Per the City’s General Plan Circulation Element, both Rincon and Cota Streets are identified as collector streets with an overall right-of-way width of 68 feet. The project will be required to dedicate fourfeet along both street frontages of Rincon and Cota Streets to provide the 34-foot halfwidth street requirement, which includes a five-foot sidewalk and 6.6-foot landscaped parkway with curb and gutter.
Distribution of Plans
The proposed development plans were circulated to service providers (Corona Fire Department, Corona Police Department, etc.) and utility companies, allowing each entity the opportunity to review the proposal and determine the impacts of the development relative to their services. In addition, the plans were circulated to internal divisions/departments such as Development Services, Traffic, Building and Public Works.
Comments from these agencies have been considered and incorporated as modifications to the plans and/or were included as recommended conditions to this project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Per Sections 15332, 15301, 15302, 15303 and 15304 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.28 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because the project qualifies as a Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects), Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 3 (New Construction or Alteration of Small Structures), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) categorical exemption. The project will occur within city limits and proposes to grade 4.22 acres of onsite area and 0.12 acres which
will be dedicated to the city for right-of-way purposes. The project also includes 1.19 acres of undeveloped area to be landscaped for water quality treatment purposes. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Furthermore, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Per Figure 2-6 of the Corona General Plan, the project site has a high potential for containing the presence of paleontological resources (i.e., fossils). To mitigate impacts to paleontological resources, the project is required to comply with the requirements set forth in the Corona General Plan 2019 Draft Environmental Impact Report that pertain to mitigating impacts to paleontological resources.
FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant has paid the applicable application processing fees for the project.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants within a 500-foot radius of the project site, as well as advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News and posted at the project site. As of the preparation of this report, the Planning and Development Department received two letters in support of this project, Exhibit 14.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes an infill development project (a new battery energy storage facility) that will redevelop three underutilized industrial parcels with substantial public right-of-way improvements and onsite improvements consisting of decorative screen walls and dense landscaping throughout the perimeter of the project site. Implementation of the project would be consistent with the City’s 2019 Climate Action Plan and assist in meeting the State’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals by 2030, as required by the California Global Warming Solutions Act (Assembly Bill 32). The project also assists the State in achieving its switch from fossil-fuel powered generation by providing electricity from renewables to be stored and discharged back to the grid when necessary.
The project, as proposed by CUP2023-0001, complies with the Corona Municipal Code including objective development standards within the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone. The project is also consistent with the Light Industrial (LI) land use designation within the General Plan. Additionally, the project is not expected to have a significant impact on the environment as the project meets the infill and minor alterations to land exemption criteria prescribed by CEQA.
The Planning and Development Department therefore recommends approval of CUP2023- 0001 based on the findings of approval below and the recommended conditions of approval in Exhibit 12.
FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR CUP2023-0001

This Class 4 exemption applies to landscaping in the public right of way outside the 5.53-acre project site, and drought-tolerant groundcover in 1.19-acre undeveloped portion of the project site (the selftreating area). e. The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The project development will occur within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. And the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. This Class 32 exemption applies to the battery energy storage containers and associated onsite support facilities consisting of a project substation (denoted as Fretboard substation on site plan), inverters, collector lines, fencing, access roads, operations and maintenance building, supervisory control, a SCADA system, a Southern California Edison (SCE) owned switchyard / substation (denoted as the Headstock switchyard on the site plan), a 66 kV gen-tie line, telecommunication line, and other ancillary facilities or equipment within the
4.22-acre developed portion of the project site.
f. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions listed under Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines apply, as the project will not: impact a designated, mapped, and officially adopted environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern; result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time; have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway; be located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; nor cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
2. All of the conditions necessary for granting a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in Section 17.92.110 of the CMC do exist in reference to CUP2023-0001 for the following reasons:
a. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare because battery energy storage is a passive utility use that has no emissions, noise, night lighting or onsite employees, and is similar to other permissible uses in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone. In particular, the proposed use consists of utility buildings, structures, and facilities that are common with utilities and consistent with the bulk and scale of other structures in the surrounding M-1 zone, and which will be developed per the development standards of the CMC. Furthermore, the proposal is in harmony with the various elements and objectives in the General Plan, as the proposed use will be utilized to provide grid reliability and associated public service to both the local and regional electrical grid, and will support renewable energy resource generation that would ensure the city can advance its commitments as specified in the city’s Climate Action Plan. b. The proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental to the other existing and permitted uses in the general area because the proposed use consists of utility buildings, structures, and facilities that are common with utilities and consistent with the bulk and scale of other structures in the surrounding M-1 zone. In addition, the proposed location was selected because of its proximity to existing transmission lines located along Cota Street immediately adjacent to the eastern project boundary and because the location is suitable to meet the increasing demand for energy storage in the region. The project site is capable of accommodating the project, and there are no sensitive land uses located immediately adjacent to the project site. c. The project is subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit 12, which are necessary and desirable for the purpose of protecting public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the public, in accordance with the intent and purpose of the city’s zoning regulations.
3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
a. The Light Industrial (LI) land use designation allows operations involving light assembly and manufacturing, wholesaling, warehousing and distribution, and industrial processing within structures. The project proposes a battery energy storage facility that is a passive utility use similar in nature to such permitted use and is, therefore, consistent with the General Plan.
b. The project is consistent with Goal LU-12 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it develops an industrial land use that provides revenues to sustain the City’s economy by providing construction and operational employment opportunities and economic output activity in the City. c. The project is consistent with Goal LU-12.4 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it encourages the reuse of a parcel with underutilized, vacant, or obsolete industrial buildings with higher value uses that are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The project establishes a battery energy storage facility that will facilitate grid reliability and associated public service to both the local and regional electrical grid. The project would also support renewable energy resource generation that would ensure electric reliability throughout the city as specified in the city’s Climate Action Plan.
4. The proposal is consistent with the M-1 zone for the following reasons:
a. The battery energy storage use is permitted in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
b. The project meets the objective development standards prescribed by the Corona Municipal Code for the M-1 zone with respect to building setbacks, parking, building height, fencing, and landscaping to ensure orderly development of the site.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CORONA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. CEQA Findings. As the decision-making body for this CUP2023- 0001, the Planning and Housing Commission has determined that this project does not require further environmental assessment because the project qualifies as an exemption under CEQA per Sections 15332, 15301, 15302, 15303, and 15304 of the State CEQA Guidelines as a Class 32 (InFill Development Projects), Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 3 (New Construction or Alteration of Small Structures), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 3.28 of the City of Corona adopted Local Guidelines for implementing CEQA.
There is no evidence presented to the city that the project will have any significant effects on the environment.
SECTION 2. Conditional Use Permit Findings. Pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) Section 17.92.110 and based on the entire record before the Planning and Housing Commission, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Commission, the Commission hereby makes and adopts the following findings:
1. A preliminary exemption assessment has been conducted by the City of Corona and it has shown that this project does not require further environmental assessment because the project qualifies as a Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 3 (New Construction or Alteration of Small Structures), and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) categorical exemptions per Sections 15301, 15302, 15303, and 15304 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and a Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects) categorical exemption per Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines, and pursuant to Section 3.28 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines for the following reasons:
a. The project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. This Class 1 exemption applies to offsite improvements to facilitate project interconnection to the electrical grid that will be made within existing SCE substations including the Mira Loma Substation, Pedley Substation and Corona Substation. All of these improvements will be completed within the existing SCE facility fence lines and will include replacing circuit breakers, relay equipment, voltage transformers telecommunication upgrades, and upgrading disconnect switches. In addition, improvements along Cota Street between Railroad Street and River Road include the reconductoring of approximately 2,600 feet of existing 66 kV facilities and potential replacement of nine wood poles with wood or light steel poles of a similar height. b. The project consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. This Class 2 exemption applies to offsite improvements described in 1.a, above.
RESOLUTION NO. 2653
APPLICATION NO. CUP2023-0001
PAGE | 3
c. The project consists of electrical and other utility extensions of reasonable length.
This Class 3 exemption applies to the 66 kV gen-tie and telecommunications line that will connect the onsite SCE substation to the existing 66 kV electrical lines and telecommunication line along Cota Street.
d. The project consists of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation, which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees. This Class 4 exemption applies to landscaping in the public right of way outside the 5.53-acre project site, and drought-tolerant groundcover in 1.19-acre undeveloped portion of the project site (the self-treating area). e. The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The project development will occur within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. And the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. This Class 32 exemption applies to the battery energy storage containers and associated onsite support facilities consisting of a project substation (denoted as Fretboard substation on site plan), inverters, collector lines, fencing, access roads, operations and maintenance building, supervisory control, a SCADA system, a Southern California Edison (SCE) owned switchyard / substation (denoted as the Headstock switchyard on the site plan), a 66 kV gen-tie line, telecommunication line, and other ancillary facilities or equipment within the 4.22- acre developed portion of the project site.
f. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions listed under Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines apply, as the project will not: impact a designated, mapped, and officially adopted environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern; result in a significant cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time; have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; damage a scenic highway or scenic resources within a state scenic highway; be located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; nor cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
2. All of the conditions necessary for granting a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in Section
17.92.110 of the CMC do exist in reference to CUP2023-0001 for the following reasons:
a. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare because battery energy storage is a passive utility use that has no emissions, noise, night lighting or onsite employees, and is similar to other
RESOLUTION NO. 2653
APPLICATION NO. CUP2023-0001
PAGE | 4
permissible uses in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone. In particular, the proposed use consists of utility buildings, structures, and facilities that are common with utilities and consistent with the bulk and scale of other structures in the surrounding M-1 zone, and which will be developed per the development standards of the CMC. Furthermore, the proposal is in harmony with the various elements and objectives in the General Plan, as the proposed use will be utilized to provide grid reliability and associated public service to both the local and regional electrical grid, and will support renewable energy resource generation that would ensure the city can advance its commitments as specified in the city’s Climate Action Plan.
b. The proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental to the other existing and permitted uses in the general area because the proposed use consists of utility buildings, structures, and facilities that are common with utilities and consistent with the bulk and scale of other structures in the surrounding M-1 zone. In addition, the proposed location was selected because of its proximity to existing transmission lines located along Cota Street immediately adjacent to the eastern project boundary and because the location is suitable to meet the increasing demand for energy storage in the region. The project site is capable of accommodating the project, and there are no sensitive land uses located immediately adjacent to the project site. c. The project is subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit 12, which are necessary and desirable for the purpose of protecting public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the public, in accordance with the intent and purpose of the city’s zoning regulations.
3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
a. The Light Industrial (LI) land use designation allows operations involving light assembly and manufacturing, wholesaling, warehousing and distribution, and industrial processing within structures. The project proposes a battery energy storage facility that is a passive utility use similar in nature to such permitted use and is, therefore, consistent with the General Plan. b. The project is consistent with Goal LU-12 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it develops an industrial land use that provides revenues to sustain the City’s economy by providing construction and operational employment opportunities and economic output activity in the City. c. The project is consistent with Goal LU-12.4 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it encourages the reuse of a parcel with underutilized, vacant, or obsolete industrial buildings with higher value uses that are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The project establishes a battery energy storage facility that will facilitate grid reliability and associated public service to both the local and regional electrical grid. The project would also
RESOLUTION NO. 2653
APPLICATION NO. CUP2023-0001
PAGE | 5
support renewable energy resource generation that would ensure electric reliability throughout the City as specified in the City’s Climate Action Plan.
4. The proposal is consistent with the M-1 zone for the following reasons:
a. The battery energy storage use is permitted in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone with the approval of a conditional use permit.
b. The project meets the objective development standards prescribed by the Corona Municipal Code for the M-1 zone with respect to building setbacks, parking, building height, fencing, and landscaping to ensure orderly development of the site.
SECTION 3. Effective Date. CUP2023-0001 will not become effective until the City Council either takes no action on the report or otherwise makes a decision after a City Council initiated review.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be delivered to the City Clerk of said City and a copy thereof be sent to the applicant therefore at the address of said applicant as set forth in the application for said Conditional Use Permit.
