None, we already have too many homes. We have several elementary schools feeding into only two intermediate schools feeding into only one high school. Student population at the only high school is reaching five thousand students. That is way too much! Stop building homes and bring in more businesses so people can live closer to where they work. That would keep more of Eastvale's tax revenue in Eastvale!

Speaks bad news for a change in environment. More affordability with Apartments , duplex’s and live-work areas means bringing in more chaos on what should remain a plain of peaceful diversity sprinkled with the right amount of services. More crime and unexpected surge of renters will slowly take over Eastvale.

I've always noticed the exclusivity of large housing in Eastvale. Our current structure cuts out single people, young lower earning families starting out, and seniors. However, family diversity only strengthens communities. We should be more inclusive of more people at different stages of their lives. It will only make us stronger.

As a resident home owner, we experience daily the feel of overcrowding in the City of Eastvale. We feel it with traffic, streets plastered with cars lining both sides of the streets, schools that have reached maximum occupancy, homes that have 4-5 families living in one single family home. I beg you to put all the pieces together. We have participated in the Vision series and adding more housing and potentially more traffic does not align with better quality of life, reduced traffic, and increased safety. As a resident I would NOT want to see more garage conversions that look tacky and bring down neighborhoods, overpopulate our schools, and increase unknown cars on streets. As a tax payer, I want to know what the amount of money the city receives for this lower level entry housing and Additional dwelling, compared to what it costs in extra law enforcement, crowded schools, and decreases in home values.

I believe you can make housing more affordable and it doesn’t have to be a duplex. Eastvale has a ton of BIG BOXES. Why not build an affordable community of 3 br 2 bth 1500/1800 sq ft houses on good size lots with backyards. Create the Americana that we love here in Eastvale, but also meet the cities need of an affordable middle group for entry level home buying.

When it rains it’s truly horrible. Please also create more park and rides where car/vanpoolers can safely park while at work.

I think Dan has a point when it comes to affordability. Within my age range there are a lot of individuals that are saving up money to purchase these homes but cannot afford them. While others do have the amount f money needed to purchase these 660,000 + homes some of them are not because of the lot size. overall good presentation and great descriptions of what might to come.

Entertainment for families, man made lake/parks, shopping mall like Victoria Gardens. No to apartments. I moved to Eastvale because it’s a peaceful, safe, & a friendly community that is nice to up bring my family. I came from a big city from San Francisco. Having apartments can disrupt the peace in the community. What we have & the current plans are good enough for me. But once I see it becoming crowded & disruptive city chances are we are moving out & find a safe & peaceful place to live for my family.

Bring more white color businesses and facilitated car-pooling/van-pool opportunities to Eastvale, in order to reduce commute times, which would help reduce the biggest trade-off of living in such a wonderful city.

We don't grow our wealth by property value's increasing; unless we decide to sell our home and move out from this city. So this question is a false question. We grow wealth by getting a higher-paid jobs so we can afford our 2% tax which also increased 2% every year. City of Eastvale should focus on providing that. And stop thinking about increasing individual's property taxes.

Thank you.

It's not about what kind of mixed uses buildings. It's about how we see our city's future. Having a plaza like South Coast Plaza in Eastvale should be considered as an anchor. To build a plaza like South Coast Plaza after Pandemic(Our windy and extreme environment is not pleasant for a plaza like Victoria Garden), we will need to attract more high-end business to come and companies with better benefits/pays to stay. Warehouse jobs like Amazon cannot make this city a better place. It's never too late to adjust our direction. Thank you.

- We are paying 2% tax which is way higher than other cities. If the city plans to have residents own the road privately and start our own HOA, the tax rate should be decreased to 1.1-1.4% like Irvine. (Since we'll be paying HOA to maintain our won roads and city won't help with that anymore) - And 2% tax should be able to do more. Please focus on making our city a healthier place to stay. Options like inviting restaurants with healthier(or vegan) dining options would be great.

My culture does not need to be “seen”. If I want to be seen in the community then I need to put myself in the community (start a business, volunteer, classes, council meetings). It is not your job to use tax payer money to make the lazy seen.

1) No not yet. It seems like a bunch of “friends” are on city council and lacking different cultures and women 2)Culture - where someone is from and embracing their country and views 3)A place where there are multiple people from different cultures, backgrounds and status having fun embracing each other

The city doesn’t look like me or many others yet, but I do believe we are getting there, I believe that we need more diversity in our city council as everyone seems to be friends or friends of a friend voted in as if there is a members only club, I believe if you don’t live in the city you work for how can you truly be passionate about it, how can you truly understand the wants and needs of those who wake up in the city of Eastvale, so I think city jobs should go to those who live in the city because they would have a better understanding on the city they live in. And someone who is a foodie and music lover I believe a few food and music festival would be great for the city during the summer early fall months and of course once Covid-19 is over.

I’ve been to hundreds of food music festivals and you’d be shocked how diverse a crowd could be when it comes to good food from other cultures along with the different genre of music, I believe food and music breaks down Barrier that allows for dialogue that get avoided and pushed under the rug. I think the city of Eastvale has the perfect opportunity with the new projects coming into our city to be in the for front of togetherness and what a diverse city truly is. I believe the city has the capacity to show people from other cities this is what diversity and togetherness truly is and what it looks like. It’s not about you it’s not about me but it’s about US. As for the future of Eastvale and my future here it looks bright but it remains to be seen if we can take the necessary steps to come together as a community and learn to agree to disagree and compromise and sustain our integrity as a community as a whole. I believe we need to get to know our neighbors not just in our surroundings neighborhood but in other neighborhoods within Eastvale as well. And I believe more community outings like festivals coming to our city allows for that. So I’ll end it with this, it’s truly 1 word that answers all 5 questions and it’s TOGETHERNESS. That 1 word when put into action has the power to move mountains.

Diversity and Inclusion to me, means that there is awareness, acknowledgment, and equitable resources for those of varying backgrounds and ethnicities. By being able to learn about each other, we can then get closer to calling ourselves a community or even a family.

Eastvale needs to focus on technology. Cell coverage is horrible in many parts of the city. Smart city and IOT is not even an option here due to our ridiculous planning commission.

1. The city needs to focus on financial sustainability and providing basic services to residents (water, roads, police, fire, medical etc. 2. Culture is where your from and traditions you were raised with. 3. Community is a group living in close proximity. 4. Diversity is the difference between cultures 5.

Inclusion in this region of the world is a way for lazy people to use the “victim card” to try and get others to like them. I do not care where you came from. I care about your character. I learn your character by seeing you at your business, volunteering, city events, or while conducting personal business. It takes personal responsibility to get out there and show people your character. Inclusion is the individuals responsibility, not the taxpayer.

We are all diverse and equal. Inclusion is at the personal level. Do not spend a dime of taxpayer money trying bring “inclusion” to those too lazy to get out and show the community their character.

Making Eastvale city known for healthy lifestyles. Making the environment around us enticing for walking and biking and enjoying outdoor activities. It is doing that already. However; the heat is still a big factor for us not getting out as much as we would like. Ideas for making that easier: To save on water; possibly colorful shade sails overhead along sidewalks, and ♀ biking trails.

The sunlight shining through the sails would be beautiful!!!! More tree lined streets. The trees are not shady enough. More shady trees in parks!!! Anonymous

Having a mini “Central Park”. Having outdoor 3 day jazz , pop music festivals like the yearly ones in LA, Downtown Brea, and Temecula. The Music center in LA draws a lot of business during the dancing amongst the stars events over the summer. Live outdoor performances. Places where families can enjoy ☺ walking around and dancing. Eating yummy food from different cultures. I think it could draw revenue for the city. Especially with outdoor eating. How to do it safely and affordably is challenging. If it can be done

We are not a urban downtown area. Do not think it would fit with our city. I would like a restaurant like a Mr Tempo that would bring urban art within the decor of their restaurants

The presenter spoke about “Bario Logan” in San Diego as an example. If you know the history and nature of the art- it exemplifies a non-example of creating a community art feel. That area is predominantly Hispanic. I don’t want art in our community to become a point of contention or a feel of separating cultures. Bring us a performing arts building to benefit the whole community. Keep our city looking like a small town suburban city. Not a metropolitan urban place

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this local hazard mitigation plan is to identify the City’s hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences, and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people, property, and the environment from natural and man-made hazards.

The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs.

The City of Eastvale’s continual efforts to maintain a disaster-mitigation strategy are ongoing. The City’s goal is to develop and maintain an all-inclusive plan that considers current and future hazards and all impacted residents, businesses, and the environment.

The City’s planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and Cal OES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) comprised of participating Federal, State, and local jurisdictions, agencies, special districts, school districts, businesses, tribes, and the general public. The City promoted public involvement in the LHMP through outreach during public meetings and events, City website updates, meetings with local business members, and City Council and Public Safety Commission updates.

The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources, identifies mitigation shortcomings, and provides future mitigation planning and maintenance of the existing plan.

The plan will be implemented upon FEMA approval and adoption by the Eastvale City Council. 1414

1.2GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE DESCRIPTION
Eastvale is located in western Riverside County near the junction of the 91 Freeway and Interstate 15, about 50 miles south and east of Los Angeles. Nearby cities include Norco (4 miles), Corona (4 miles), Jurupa Valley (5.1 miles), Ontario (9.8 miles), Chino (10.8 miles), and Riverside (11.4 miles).

The geography of Eastvale is a mostly flat area of former dairy land with silt and sand soil. The Santa Ana River follows along the City’s southern border, below its river bluff. The Prado Dam is on the Santa Ana River just south of Eastvale boundaries. The northern and western sides of the city are bordered by the San Bernardino/Riverside County line. Interstate 15 creates the eastern border of Eastvale. Eastvale is located in the Chino Groundwater Basin area.

The climate in Eastvale is Hot-Summer Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild, relatively wet winters. Hot spells in the summer may exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit with low humidity and winter temperatures rarely drop below 40 degrees.

Projected future changes to the highs and lows can be seen on the California Heat Assessment Tool at https://www.calheat.org/. While the projections on cal-heat.org show that Eastvale is not affected to the degree other Southern California areas are, the surrounding areas are projected to get hotter and more arid with time and this could affect the city.

1.3BRIEF HISTORY
Eastvale is one of the newest cities in Western Riverside County. Eastvale was incorporated on October 1, 2010, and has a growing population of over 69,929 residents. Eastvale is 13.2 square miles strategically poised between Interstate 15 and California State Routes 91, 60, and 71, making access easy for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. Residents and visitors find the proximity of Ontario International Airport to be a metropolitan advantage yet enjoy the small-town, neighborly charm of our young community.

City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 3 Eastvale’s history is tied to that of its neighbors—Corona, Norco, Chino, Jurupa Valley, and Ontario. For at least the last 176 years, the land was used for farming and the dairy industry.

Today, Eastvale is still tied to Corona and Norco as a member of the Corona-Norco Unified School District and shares a zip code with the City of Corona, 92880, and with the previously unincorporated area known as Mira Loma, 91752. Until
incorporation, Eastvale was a community residing in an
unincorporated area of Western Riverside County. Many
residents incorrectly believed that since they received their mail from the Corona Post Office and shared the zip code with Corona, they were indeed residents of the City of Corona. The same was true for residents living in the area serviced by the Mira Loma Post Office. This was not the case. Now, Eastvale is independent and free to chart its future.

1.4 ECONOMY DESCRIPTION
The City of Eastvale is a relatively new city in Western Riverside County. The City of Eastvale was incorporated on October 1, 2010, and has an ever-growing population of over 69,929 residents.

The City of Eastvale is adjacent to Orange County and boasts the highest median household income in Riverside County (source: US Census data). Eastvale offers a diverse choice of housing options with most of the nation’s top ten residential developers choosing Eastvale for new housing starts.

Eastvale is mostly within the Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) boundaries. CNUSD is the largest school district in Riverside County and the largest school district in the State of California. The elementary schools in Eastvale are multi-track year-round schools. The City of Eastvale has five elementary schools (three of which are California Distinguished Schools), two intermediate schools, and one high school. A small portion of Eastvale is serviced by the Jurupa Unified School District; however, no Jurupa Unified School District schools are within the City’s boundaries.

The landscape of the community has changed over the years from a former dairy enclave to a diverse, well-appointed community with highly desired amenities. With our newly constructed, modern, award-winning schools and thirteen beautiful parks, Eastvale stands as the premiere location to raise a family and enjoy business success. The variety of surrounding communities provides for a diversified consumer base and a culturally enriched experience.

The City of Eastvale recognizes that a strong and healthy local economy is one of the most important funding mechanisms in providing essential services and amenities to meet the current and future needs of the city.

1.5 POPULATION AND HOUSING
Figure 3 Population Statistics

1.6BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS
The most prominent hazards faced by residents of the City of Eastvale are a major earthquake, flooding potential from larger than 100-year storm events in winter months along the Santa Ana riverbank, and windstorms causing power outages. A longterm power outage in summer months could produce lifethreatening extreme heat conditions for residents without access to air conditioning. The City of Eastvale could also be impacted by terrorism or bioterrorism that initially targets the Ontario or Chino Airports and then spreads the impact to surrounding communities. Another pandemic event is also a likely occurrence.

Riverside County has experienced severe flooding many times throughout its history, resulting in the loss of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. Floods are caused by rivers and creeks overrunning their banks, and most property damage has occurred where development has been allowed without regard for flood hazards.

In the developed areas of Eastvale, flood control facilities are in place that will protect homes and businesses from flooding.

Inundation areas are also in place in areas throughout the City, focused near Hellman and Chandler, to help in storm events greater than the 500-year storm event that could result in flooding due to the Prado Dam.

Earthquake risk in Eastvale is “relatively high” to “very high”.

No known fault zones run through the City, but two of
California’s most active faults: the San Andreas and San Jacinto are in close proximity to the City.
1420
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 5 Most of the loss of life and injuries from earthquakes are due to damage and collapse of buildings and structures. Building codes have been made more stringent following damaging
earthquakes. Because most of Eastvale was built after 1990, problems which exist in other parts of Riverside County related to older buildings are either nonexistent or very limited in the city.

All of Eastvale has been identified as having a moderate to high susceptibility to liquefaction, a very destructive secondary effect of strong seismic shaking. Liquefaction occurs primarily in saturated, loose, fine- to medium-grained soils in areas where the groundwater table is within approximately 50 feet of the surface. Shaking causes the soil to lose strength and behave as a liquid. Excess water pressure is vented upward through fissures and soil cracks, and a water-soil slurry bubbles onto the ground surface.

The portion of Eastvale near the Santa Ana River has been identified as having a moderate susceptibility to wildfire, due to the presence of wild vegetation along the river.

Wildland fires which occur while Santa Ana winds are present constitute a worst-case fire suppression scenario. Because of dry vegetation conditions and Santa Ana winds, the fire danger for Riverside County is considered extremely high for 25% of each year. Therefore, there is a statistically significant chance that this worst-case fire suppression scenario could occur.

Unique hazards that have impacted the City of Eastvale:
• High winds reaching up to 65mph affect the community
but have not yet caused catastrophic damage.
• Significant rainfall affected the State of California and the City of Eastvale during the February 2019 storm
season to which there was a Presidential Declaration in May 2019.

While the City of Eastvale does not possess an abundance of natural hazards, the city is not immune. As a relatively new City, Eastvale does not yet own much of the critical infrastructure within our jurisdiction, such as schools, community center, parks, or libraries. With the exception of the schools, these entities are owned and operated by Jurupa Community
Services District. The city does own the newest Fire Station, and it has been built to standard. We do not have or own a City Hall and currently rent retail space to conduct daily operations. Our land is mostly flat and does not typically cause catastrophic flooding nor do we have an airport within City limits.

1.7DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND LAND USE
Since the last approved plan, there have been 16 industrial warehouse buildings, and 625 residential units built or planned.

This new development will increase the overall vulnerability in the event of a magnitude 6.5 or greater earthquake due to the ground movement and potential damages to buildings. There have been no other developments or planned developments in hazard prone areas that would increase or decrease the City’s overall vulnerability. New developments were not built in flood hazard zones or fire zones but could increase the susceptibility to both due to the decrease of permeable surfaces and drought conditions leading to higher fire and flood frequency.
1421
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 6 As of today, it is estimated that approximately 93% of the City’s residential areas have already been built and much of the remaining industrial and commercial land is under
construction. With even a modest rebound in the current pace of growth in the regional economy and non-residential
development in Eastvale, the build-out of Eastvale the city could easily occur in the next decade. Eastvale, therefore, finds itself approaching a change in emphasis from the construction of new homes and businesses to maintaining these uses and the systems that support them.

As this occurs, the City’s focus will shift from being primarily centered on the quality of new development to ensuring that the developed neighborhoods, retail centers, and industrial areas remain desirable and able to compete with newer
neighborhoods in other cities. This will involve watching demographic and economic trends that will affect the types of homes that families will want to buy and live in (and whether they want to buy or rent), how they will want to shop, what businesses want, and what types of jobs are needed, and adjusting land use and other policies as needed.

2.1 LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS
The overall approach to the City of Eastvale’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was to develop an understanding of the natural hazards to the city and determine ways to reduce those risks and prioritize and outline potential mitigation strategies.

To complete these objectives, the City of Eastvale’s Community Safety Department coordinated and collaborated with City departments, local agencies, neighboring communities, and other stakeholders. During the process, staff participated in Operational Area Planning Committee meetings and workshops where the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan process was discussed with multiple agencies throughout Riverside County.

The 2023 update to the city’s LHMP was undertaken and
prepared in accordance with FEMA standards and 44 CFR
§201.6(d)(3). In mid-2022, staff from the Community Safety Department began the informal process of the five-year update of the LHMP. Department-level contacts and personnel from City departments were identified for participation in the update process. Concurrently, a more in-depth review of the existing plan was undertaken to identify areas of update and areas needing improvement or additional shoring. Several outdated metrics and maps were immediately identified and added to the update task list.

On November 7, 2022, the City’s Emergency Management
Specialist sent an email to all City department heads, the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Division Chief, the Jurupa
Community Services District Safety & Emergency Response Officer, and the City’s Riverside County Emergency
Management Department Emergency Services Coordinator
with an invitation to an upcoming LHMP meeting, the 2018 LHMP, a summary of policy changes, and an explanation of the update.

On December 13, 2022, the City’s Emergency Management
Specialist hosted the formal LHMP Planning Meeting.

Attendees included the LHMP Planning Team comprised of City departments and divisions as well as staff from the Riverside County Emergency Management Department Planning section (see Table 1). This meeting served to reintroduce the LHMP and outline the List of Duties by Department, expectations, and project deadlines.

Shortly after the LHMP Planning Meeting, each chapter and section of the plan was dissected and assigned to an
appropriate City department staff member. The departmental revisions were then added to the revised draft.

City staff continued to collaborate to review hazards, conduct risk assessment/analysis for each hazard, and identify and outline possible mitigation strategies. Discussions also included an updated history of disasters, mitigation efforts, and a ranking of local hazards. These meetings included discussion of municipal laws and the upcoming adoption of building codes, as related to hazard mitigation.

As sections were finalized and established thresholds met, the draft revision of the LHMP update was readied for public release and discussion.

2.2 PARTICIPATION IN THE REGIONAL (OA)

PLANNING PROCESS
The City of Eastvale participated in the Regional LHMP planning process with the Riverside County Operational Area (OA) by attending LHMP meetings and public hearings.

The City of Eastvale participated in Riverside County
workshops, conferences, and meetings, including:
• On May 5, 2022, Riverside County Emergency
Management Department reached out to the City of
Eastvale to request a formal letter of commitment
to participate in the County update.
• On June 13, 2022, the City of Eastvale received an
invitation to participate in the Riverside County
LHMP OA Kick-Off Meeting that was scheduled to
occur on June 15, 2022, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.
• On June 15, 2022, the City of Eastvale’s Emergency
Management Specialist participated in the Riverside
County LHMP Kick-Off Meeting to begin the
planning process. During this meeting, the City of
Eastvale Planning Committee met and
communicated over the next several weeks to
discuss the plan and its needs. Subsequently, the
City’s hazards were identified, and mitigation
strategies were developed.
• The City’s Emergency Management Specialist
attended the subsequent Riverside County LHMP
workshops on August 16, 2022, and the LHMP
Steering Committee meetings on August 3, 2022,
and October 5, 2022.
• The City identified collaboration partners (see Table 2 below)

3.2 ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSS
The most vulnerable structures in the City are the two (2) fire stations, City Hall, business structures, industrial sites, and schools. The close proximity to the San Andreas Fault is sure to cause damage to any of these facilities in the event of a major earthquake.

The City's transportation network of roads, freeways, rail lines, and the nearby airport provides additional associated risks and potential loss to the city.

3.3 TABLE REPLACEMENT VALUES
Many of the assets and critical infrastructure that would be at risk due to the identified hazards are not owned nor operated by the City and thus have a limited capability to produce a complete value loss table. In lieu of this the City used the Riverside County Assessors Office’s interactive map to
determine the total value of all building and property values within the planning area. Figure 6 displays the total values.

Table 5 Critical Facility Replacement Values shows the

3.4 IDENTIFICATION OF RISKS AND VULNERABILITIES
The Planning Committee conducted a hazard identification study to determine the hazards that pose the greatest threat to the Planning Area. As a starting point, a National Risk Index Comparison Report for the census tracts within the city was run to identify hazards of concern. Building upon this data, historical knowledge from residents and staff was gathered about past incidents. Based on this data, the Planning team rated each event based on significance from High to Low. Additionally, the Planning Team considered some technological hazards that had the most significant impact on the city based on the main transportation corridors that border the city. To quantify the values the methodology in Table 6 Severity and Probability Methodology Table was used. Table 7 Risk Hazard Identification for City of Eastvale displays the results of this hazard identification.

SEVERITY PROBABILITY SIGNIFICANCE
0 – Does not apply 0 – Does not apply High – Widespread potential impact 1 – Negligible damage/injuries 1 – Unlikely to happen Medium – Moderate potential damage 2 – Limited damage/injuries 2 – Possible (1% to 10% chance in next ten years) Low – minimal potential damage 3 – Critical damage/injuries 3 – Likely (10%-100% chance in next 10 years) 4 – Catastrophic 4 – Highly likely (near 100% in next year) Table 6 Severity and Probability Methodology Table

3.5 EARTHQUAKE
Severity – 4, Probability – 2, Ranking – 2
As with most cities in the Inland Empire, one of the primary concerns is the impact of a large earthquake in the region. The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) in 2007
concluded that there is a 99.7 % probability that an earthquake of M6.7 or greater will hit California within 30 years. An earthquake would most likely originate from the San Andreas fault. The City will be impacted by the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore faults. There are no known faults in Eastvale’s jurisdiction, but the possibility of one being discovered in the future cannot be ruled out. In Eastvale, earthquake-triggered geologic effects may include ground shaking, landslides, liquefaction, and subsidence.

California Building Codes have been made more stringent following damaging earthquakes. Because most of Eastvale was built after 1990, problems with unreinforced masonry, which exist in other parts of Riverside County related to older buildings, are either nonexistent or very limited in the city.

All of Eastvale has been identified as having a moderate to high susceptibility to liquefaction, a very destructive secondary effect of strong seismic shaking. Liquefaction occurs primarily in saturated, loose, fine- to medium-grained soils in areas where the groundwater table is within approximately 50 feet of 1437
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 22 the surface. Shaking causes the soils to lose strength and behave as liquid. Excess water pressure is vented upward through fissures and soil cracks, and a water- soil slurry bubbles onto the ground surface. Liquefaction-related effects include loss of bearing strength, ground oscillations, lateral spreading, and flow failures or slumping. Site-specific geotechnical studies are the only practical and reliable way of determining the specific liquefaction potential of a site; however, a
determination of general risk potential can be provided based on soil type and depth of groundwater.

The severity rating for this hazard is a 4, which means that there is a potential for catastrophic damage, causing multiple deaths, complete shutdown of critical facilities for 30 days or more and/or more than 50% of property has a potential to be
damaged.

3.5.1 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: A magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake would impact the entire Planning Area including all of the critical facilities identified in Table 6 on page 25, due to the intense ground shaking there could be both structural damage and lose of utilities services that support critical operations. Local bridges and overpasses could be structurally comprised and reduce the capability to receive or provide mutual aid to and from adjacent cities.

Overall community impact: A earthquake of this magnitude would be catastrophic to the entire community. There would be large spread damage to housing and community lifelines.

The potential road damage would make it difficult for
transportation in the affected areas or first responders to access. The aging population and those under the age of five would be the most impacted.

3.6 FLOOD
Severity – 2, Probability – 3, Ranking – 3
Riverside County has experienced severe flooding many times throughout its history, resulting in the loss of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. Floods are caused by rivers and creeks overrunning their banks, and most property damage has occurred where development has been allowed without regard for flood hazards.

Flood risk is a concern because of the Santa Ana River and a large number of dams and reservoirs in and close to the city.

Severe storms can cause disturbances in existing infrastructure or the environment. In the 2017 floods, Eastvale experienced sinkholes along with multiple potholes, which resulted from the storm. Eastvale’s new infrastructure ensured that the damage was minor, but a stronger storm and aging infrastructure could cause more of an impact in the future.

The 100- and 500-year floodplains in Eastvale include the Santa Ana riverbeds as well as some residential properties adjacent to this area, Crossroads Riverview Park, Prado Basin Park, Eastvale Community Park, Swan Lake, and a portion of I-15.

During large storm events, Harada Park and James C. Huber Park are designed to be used as detention basins and may be closed to the public.
1438
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 23 Flood hazard areas along the Santa Ana River are planned (please see the Land Use Chapter of the General Plan) for uses consistent with periodic flooding (such as open space and parks). In the developed areas of Eastvale, flood control facilities are in place that will protect homes and businesses from flooding. See Figure 7 City of Eastvale Flood Hazard Map (Source: FEMA Resilience Analysis and Planning Tool (RAPT) 2023)for flood hazard maps for City of Eastvale.

The severity rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is a potential for limited damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses, a complete shutdown of critical facilities for more than one week, and/or 10% of the property is severely
damaged. Flooding could cause cascading hazards such as landslides, pipeline hazards, transportation incidents, power outages, hazardous materials incidents, civil unrest, diseases, and insect infestations.

3.6.1 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: The city does not own or operate any critical infrastructure in a flood zone area. The biggest impact to critical infrastructure would be on the roads and transportation corridors in the city due to storm water runoff in the event of a 1,000-year flood event.

Overall community impact: Flooding could have an impact on the transportation capability of the City, impacting those that rely on public transportation. The unhoused population within the City, is concentrated in the Santa Ana Riverbed area and flooding in this area could cause potential displacement and/or loss of life.

3.7 FIRE
Severity – 3, Probability – 4, Ranking – 1
The portion of Eastvale near the Santa Ana River has been identified as having a moderate susceptibility to wildfire. The Santa Ana riverbeds provide an untapped fuel base for the City’s yearly round of wildfires largely due to vegetation.

Because of dry vegetation conditions and Santa Ana winds, the fire danger for Riverside County is considered extremely high for 25% of each year.

Fire protection in Eastvale is provided by the Riverside County Fire Department, which operates in coordination with CAL FIRE.

The City enforces Building or Fire codes, to ensure that proposed construction shall meet minimum standards for fire safety as defined based on building type, design, occupancy, and use.

The probability rating for this hazard is a 3, which means that there is a 10% to 100% chance that it will occur within the next year. The potential for large and damaging fires to Eastvale is present throughout much of the year, specifically in the Santa Ana Riverbed. In autumn and winter, when the Santa Ana winds typically blow, the potential for a large and damaging wildfire fire is increased significantly.

As the southern region of California continues to oscillate in and out of record drought conditions due to lower-than-expected rainfall totals, the potential for large vegetation fires near the City of Eastvale is highly predictable for major fires. With the population size and dense residential housing in the city, the threat of larger financial loss is also highly predictable. 1441

3.7.1 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: The City does not own or operate any critical infrastructure in in a HSFZ; however, all of the City’s facilities could be affected by smoke, poor air quality, or potential power outages caused by a wildfire.

Overall community impact: A wildfire would have significant impact on the community due to air quality and potential evacuations. The greatest impact will be to those with
breathing issues and limited mobility, living near the Santa Ana Riverbed, where a fast-moving fire could spread to the housing areas located just north of the riverbed. Additionally, the 1442
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 27 unhoused population within the City, is concentrated in the Santa Ana Riverbed area and fast-moving wildfire could
potentially cause fatalities within this population.

Depending on the location of the fire transportation corridors and evacuation routes could be impacted. Those residents that do not have vehicles would be at the highest risk.

Figure 9 riskfactor.com

3.8 SEVERE WEATHER: EXTREME HEAT/COLD
Severity – 2, Probability – 4, Ranking – 4
The City of Eastvale collaborates on the strategic planning for the activation of Cooling and Warming Centers in the city. The centers will be activated based on the following conditions:
• The forecast anticipated temperatures of 100+ degrees for three consecutive days or extreme cold.
• The Riverside County Emergency Management
Department, after contact with the National Weather
Service, issues a “Heat Warning” for affected areas.
• Heat warning announcements are posted on media
outlets: television, radio, local newspaper, and posting on the Summer Crisis Hotline.
• Activation of Cooling or Warming Centers by the
Community Action Partnership of Riverside County.

The severity rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is a potential for limited damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses, a complete shutdown of critical facilities for more than one week, and/or 10% of the property is severely
damaged.

Extreme weather can cause cascading hazards such as pipeline incidents, transportation incidents, power outages, hazardous materials incidents, and civil unrest which can cause direct impacts on the community, population, and businesses.

3.8.1 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: All of the critical infrastructure within the City is at risk from extreme heat, due to potential power outage that be caused by a heat wave. These facilities should have backup generator power to ensure continuity of operations.

Overall community impact: Many of the residents within the Planning Area would be susceptible to heat waves. The most vulnerable populations would be the unhoused population, infants, and children under 5, elderly, and those individuals with disabilities. Additionally, heat waves with high winds 1443
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 28 could cause Public Safety Power Shutoff events, which would increase the vulnerability and exceed capacity of current cooling centers.

3.9DROUGHT
Severity – 2, Probability – 4, Ranking – 4
In response to the drought conditions that impact Riverside County, the City of Eastvale has measures in place that encourage the installation of water-conserving systems such as dry wells and gray water systems, where feasible, especially in new developments. The installation of cisterns or infiltrators shall also be encouraged to capture rainwater from roofs for irrigation in the dry season and flood control during heavy storms. Also, the city encourages the decrease of stormwater runoff by reducing pavement in development areas, and by design practices such as permeable parking bays and porous parking lots with bermed storage areas for rainwater
detention.

The severity rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is a potential for limited damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses, a complete shutdown of critical facilities for more than one week, and/or 10% of property that is severely
damaged. Climate change not only alters the annual amount of precipitation and seasonal distribution but also changes seasonal variability, which is projected to increase the severity and frequency of drought events. Drought conditions can exacerbate other hazards such as wildfire, flooding, and extreme heat. In terms of environmental impacts, drought and extreme temperatures can affect aquatic habitats and animals by reducing stream and reservoir levels and increasing water temperatures, resulting in the loss of aquatic life. The combination of reduced soil moisture and heat stress can also be especially hard on trees, crops, and other vegetation. Low water levels in bodies of water impact their ability to flush out contaminants and increase waterborne pollutants.

3.9.1 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: A severe drought could have an impact on the water supply system within the city provided by Jurupa Community Services District, which could impact
availability of water to conduct firefighting operations and schools throughout the city.

Overall community impact: A long term drought could impact water availability, affecting the water supply for drinking and local irrigation, increasing the risk of heat illness, hygiene, dustrelated raspatory illnesses, and fire hazards. The highest risk population would be the population with pre-existing
conditions, children under the age of 5, and the unhoused population.

3.10 TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Severity – 3, Probability – 2, Ranking – 6

3.10.1 Interstate 15
The City’s transportation network connects to other parts of Riverside and San Bernardino County and extends well beyond the city’s borders. Recreational travel and freight movement through the city require a flexible roadway system capable of meeting a wide range of needs. Not only must the
transportation system accommodate the traffic that is
generated by homes and businesses here, it also must
accommodate regional traffic that passes through Eastvale.

The City of Eastvale has incorporated into the General Plan and strategic plans alternate circulation plans.

The probability rating for this hazard is a 3, which means that there is a 10% to 100% chance that it will occur within the next year. The surrounding main thoroughfares pose a direct hazard to the City of Eastvale, with a potential for limited damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses, a complete shutdown of critical facilities for more than one week, and/or 10% of the property is severely damaged.

Highways, arterial roads, and streets as well as air and/or rail incidents could cause severe injuries and/or deaths which would impact the community and population. They could also cause burns and/or illness due to exposure to fires and/or potentially hazardous materials on board. Structures could be damaged or could be used for sheltering.

In working with the Public Works Department, the city will work to minimize potential transportation impacts by adjusting intersection signal timing during peak periods or around special events and develop and implement a Commercial Vehicle
Enforcement program.

3.10.2 Railroads
There are several rail lines to the north and south of the city with one class 1 rail line passing through the industrial part of the city just north of Highway 60. The Union Pacific is a commercial freight transportation system. Large quantities and numerous types of hazardous materials are transported
through the jurisdiction by rail daily. Due to the increased rail 1445

City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 30 and vehicle traffic in the city, this type of accident may occur in the future.

The severity rating for this hazard is a 3, which means that there is a potential for critical damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses resulting in permanent disability, a complete shutdown of critical facilities for two weeks, and/or 25% to 49% of the property is severely damaged. The city will continue to develop partnerships with surrounding jurisdictions and allied agencies, including railroads that surround and pass through the City of Eastvale. These efforts will also include a public information and education component.

3.10.3 Planning Area Vulnerability
Critical Infrastructure at Risk: City Hall, Fire Station 27, and three schools are within a 1-miles proximity to the I-15 transportation corridor which could be at risk from a hazardous materials spill caused by a transportation incident. If a tanker spill did occur in this area, City Hall and potentially three schools would be either evacuated or required to shelter in place affecting the capability to provide critical services. There would be limited damage to buildings but a high potential of contamination to staff. Additionally, depending on the type of hazardous material could have a significant impact on the retail base located along the transportation corridor.

Overall community impact: A transportation incident involving hazardous material along the I-15 corridor with a westerly direction wind would cause the greatest impact to the
unhoused population in the Santa Ana Riverbed area who do not have the ability to shelter in place.

5.4MITIGATION OUTREACH AND

PARTNERSHIPS
The City of Eastvale trains residents in emergency preparedness through CERT classes that are available to residents two or more times a year. CERT training prepares residents to assist the city and emergency personnel during hazardous situations and mitigates the likelihood of loss of life or injury in the process.

The city partners with the Riverside County Fire Department and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to share relevant and timely advice on potential environmental or social hazards, to prepare and advise residents on actions that address preventable consequences. The city provides resources and staff to these departments’ outreach efforts such as National Night Out and Coffee with a Cop events.

The City partners with the Jurupa Community Services District, local trash haulers, and the Western Riverside Council of Governments, as well as relevant State and Federal agencies to disseminate information on drought regulation, water
conservation, ground water contamination prevention, and any other local environmental hazard preventive and mitigating actions that residents can take and become aware of. The city cooperates with these organizations on events such as:

Community Clean Up Day, Used Oil Recycling, Holiday LED Lights Exchange.

The city also partners with the Corona-Norco Unified School District as well as local groups concerned with the city youth such as UNITY to share and disseminate timely information related to youth safety concerns and foreseeable hazard mitigation.

Expand and Improve Upon Mitigation Capabilities: to expand mitigation outreach and partnerships, the City can partner with gas and power companies to bring awareness to residents, partner with schools by including preparedness events or outreach to children, seniors, non-English speakers (via community organizations like the Eastvale Chinese American Association), and other AFN populations that are vulnerable in PSPS or other utility events connected to natural hazards.

5.5 FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Measure A – Measure A is generated by a Riverside County one-half percent sales tax approved by the voters in 1989. This money is used to maintain and construct local streets and roads.

Air Quality Management District - Revenues received resulting from Assembly Bill 2766 which imposed an additional
registration fee on motor vehicles. These revenues are used to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles.

Landscape/Lighting Maintenance District - Revenue collected through special assessments levied to benefit property owners to cover the cost associated with providing landscape and lighting maintenance.

City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 38 Gas Tax – Revenue received from a tax imposed on the sale of gas. Gas Tax funds are the most flexible transportation-related funding source. Gas Tax funds are used for various
transportation purposes including street-related projects, construction, or maintenance.

Zone 2 Storm Drain Funding – the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”) is divided into several geographical zones, where property taxes are collected separately, and area drainage plan fees are charged on development projects. Monies raised in one zone must be spent in only that zone. Located within the District’s Zone 2, the City of Eastvale is entitled to this funding source to design and construct drainage facilities to provide long-term benefits to the Eastvale community.

Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee – multi-jurisdiction fee program that ensures that new development pays its fair share for the increased traffic that it creates. Under the TUMF, Western Riverside County is divided into five zones. The TUMF is structured so that 48.7% of funds generated in each zone go back to that zone to be programmed for projects.

Federal and State Earmark Requests – Every year, cities can request federal and state legislators to include specific projects to be funded by the federal and state budget bills.

FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants, BRIC – Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) will support states, local communities, tribes, and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. The BRIC program guiding principles are supporting communities through capability- and capacitybuilding; encouraging and enabling innovation; promoting partnerships; enabling large projects; maintaining flexibility; and providing consistency.

FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants, FMA – Flood Mitigation
Assistance is a competitive grant program that provides funding to states, local communities, federally recognized tribes, and territories. Funds can be used for projects that reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings insured by the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA
requires state, local, tribal and territorial governments to develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for hazard mitigation assistance projects.

FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants, HMGP – FEMA’s Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program provides funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments so they can develop hazard
mitigation plans and rebuild in a way that reduces, or mitigates, future disaster losses in their communities. This grant funding is available after a presidentially declared disaster. All state, local, tribal and territorial governments must develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans to receive funding for hazard mitigation project application.

FEMA Preparedness Grants, EMPG – The Emergency
Management Performance Grant (EMPG) provides state, local, tribal and territorial emergency management agencies with the resources required for implementation of the National
Preparedness System and works toward the National
Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. The EMPG’s 1454

FEMA Preparedness Grants, HSGP/SHSP – The Homeland
Security Grant includes a suite of risk-based grants to assist state, local, tribal and territorial efforts in preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to and recovering from acts of terrorism and other threats. The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) provides funding to support the implementation of risk-driven, capabilities-based State Homeland Security Strategies to address capability targets.

CalOES Grants, Listos – The purpose of the Listos California Community Resilience Campaign (LX) Program is to build an awareness campaign that engages the most vulnerable
Californians with key social vulnerability factors located in areas at moderate to high risk from natural hazard. The work is intended to increase their communities’ disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities.

6.2MITIGATION ACTIONS
The Planning Committee for the City of Eastvale identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions based on the risk assessment. Background information and information on how each action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and schedule are included in Table 11 2023 Mitigation Actions below. Each action is
associated with a Priority of High, Medium, or Low. Priority for actions was calculated by using a STAPLEE review tool (Social, Technical, Administrative, Legal, Economic, and Environmental criteria) as well as potential for saving lives, potential for saving property and infrastructure, and the potential to reduce risk/hazard). The STAPLEE tool was used to provide number values to the actions based on how well the action fulfills the STAPLEE criteria. The values were then ranked from highest to lowest, 1-14, where 1 met more of the STAPLEE criteria and 14 met the least. Of that ranking, 1-5 became “High”, 6-10 – “Medium”, and 10-14 “Low” Priority, which were mapped to table below. The priority review ranked high significance hazards over those of medium significance. Hazards lower in significance did not get corresponding actions in this plan.

MECHANISMS
The City incorporated the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by adoption into the Safety Element of the City’s General Plan in 2012. The Safety Element in the General Plan includes
discussion of fire, earthquake, flooding, and landslide hazards.

The 2018 LHMP was not integrated into other plans due to the COVID-19 disaster and turnover of staff in the jurisdiction but was brought to the attention of all the involved departments in 2019 and 2021 for updates to mitigation actions. The City is developing the mechanisms for annual review to keep the LHMP in a state of visibility to all relevant City departments and partner agencies. The City is currently preparing a 10-year 2024 General Plan update, which will incorporate the 2023 update of the LHMP into the Safety Element. The updated LHMP will also be implemented into the following mechanisms by including the emergency manager in the planning update process by the Building and Public Works Departments and by reviewing these plans at annual LHMP updates and bringing suggestions to the team members in charge of updating the plans.
• Building and Construction Codes
• Fire Codes
• Capital Improvements Plan
• Storm Drain Master Plan
• Water Quality Management Plan
The LHMP will be reviewed annually by key staff to identify potential incorporation of mitigation actions into plans that have not been identified or new plans that are being developed to reduce the overall impact to the community.
8 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND

MAINTENANCE PROCESS
While this plan contains many worthwhile actions, the City must decide which action(s) to undertake first. Two factors will help make that decision: the priority assigned to the actions in the planning process and funding availability. Low or no-cost actions most easily demonstrate progress toward successful plan implementation.

An important implementation mechanism that is highly
effective and low-cost is incorporation of the hazard mitigation plan recommendations and their underlying principles into other plans and mechanisms, such as general plans, earthquake and stormwater plans, Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs), evacuation plans, and other hazard and emergency
management planning efforts for the City.

The appointed department directors and staff appointed to head each department within the City are charged with
implementation of various activities in the Plan Update. During the annual reviews described later in this section, an
assessment of progress on each goal and activity in this LHMP should be determined and noted. However, the priorities and standing of activities may change based on a change in the environment or funding opportunities.
1462
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 47 The primary duty of the City is to see the LHMP successfully carried out and to report to their governing board and the public on the status of plan implementation and mitigation opportunities. Other duties include reviewing and promoting mitigation proposals, considering stakeholder concerns about hazard mitigation, passing concerns on to appropriate entities, and posting relevant information on the City website.

The City’s Community Safety Department is responsible for initiating plan reviews for the planning area. To monitor progress and update the mitigation strategies identified in the mitigation action plan, The City Emergency Manager will revisit this Plan annually each year or following a hazard event. This LHMP is anticipated to be fully approved and adopted in late2023. The next LHMP update for the Planning Area will occur in 2028. The City’s Community Safety Department will begin the next 5-year update by identifying and convening a new
Planning Team.

Criteria for Annual Reviews:
• Renovations to city infrastructure, including water,
sewer, drainage, roads, bridges, gas lines, and buildings. • Natural hazard occurrences that required activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), whether or
not the event resulted in a presidential disaster
declaration.
• Natural hazard occurrences that were not of a
magnitude to warrant activation of the EOC or a federal disaster declaration but were severe enough to cause
damage in the City or closure of offices, schools, or
public services.

If the City identifies changes that have occurred during the evaluation, we will update the LHMP Revision Page, and notify Riverside County EMD to update our Annex.

The Riverside County Emergency Management Department will coordinate the monitoring, evaluation, and update of the MJLHMP.
9 CONTINUED PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The city identified stakeholder groups in the community with wide-ranging interests and facilitated stakeholder group meetings to solicit input and ideas about mitigation strategies.

The City will continue to include stakeholders in the review process to review and provide public comment opportunities on an annual basis through Public Hearings at the Planning Commission, Public Safety Commission, and City Council
meetings.

Additionally, the City of Eastvale will maintain public involvement opportunity notifications on the city’s website and through the following other formats:
• Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter): The
City of Eastvale's residents rely heavily on the internet and social networking sites for information and
community-building. The city will utilize Facebook,
Instagram, and Twitter as part of its effort to reach out and notify citizens of updates and changes to the plan. 1463

Executive Summary
City of Eastvale ES-1
ES-1 INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15123, this section summarizes the proposed project, significant impacts, and proposed mitigation measures, as well as the project alternatives evaluated in this Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The summary is organized around the following topics:
• Purpose of the EIR
• Project Synopsis
• Issues Raised During Scoping
• Summary of Project Alternatives
ES-2 PURPOSE OF THE EIR
This EIR has been prepared for the City of Eastvale (City), acting as the lead agency under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15050 and 15367, to analyze the potential environmental effects associated with implementation of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan project (collectively known as the project or the proposed project).

An EIR is a public informational document used in the planning and decision-making process. The purpose of the EIR is to demonstrate that the City has made a good faith effort at disclosing the potential for the project to result in significant impacts to the physical environment. As such, the EIR does not consider potential fiscal impacts, cost-benefit assessment, or social impacts, nor does the EIR present recommendations to the decision-making bodies for approval or denial of the project based on the environmental findings. Rather, the EIR is intended to provide additional information about the project when, if, and at which time it is reviewed and considered by the City in its discretionary decision-making for the project.

The City of Eastvale City Council will consider the information in the EIR, public and agency comments on the EIR, and testimony at public hearings in their decision-making process. The public review comments will be incorporated and addressed in the Final EIR. As a legislative action, the final decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposed project is made by the City Council. The purpose of an EIR is to identify:
• Significant impacts of the proposed project on the environment and indicate the manner in which those significant impacts can be avoided or mitigated. 1484
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
ES Executive Summary Environmental Impact Report
ES-2 City of Eastvale
• Any unavoidable adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated. • Reasonable and feasible alternatives to the proposed project that would eliminate any significant adverse environmental impacts or reduce such impacts to a less than significant level.

An EIR also discloses cumulative impacts, growth-inducing impacts, and impacts found not to be significant. CEQA requires that an EIR reflect the independent judgment of the lead agency regarding the impacts, disclose the level of significance of the impacts both without and with mitigation, and discuss the mitigation measures proposed to reduce the impacts.

The EIR is circulated to the public and other agencies that may have jurisdiction over affected lands or resources, such as the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The purposes of public and agency review of an EIR include sharing expertise, disclosing agency analyses, checking for accuracy, detecting omissions, discovering public concerns, and soliciting counter proposals.

This EIR is being distributed to agencies, organizations, and interested groups and persons for a 45-day review period in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15087. The City will consider and respond to all written comments received during the review period prior to any action being taken on the project.

ES-3 PROJECT SYNOPSIS
California State law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan. The General Plan is the official policy statement of the City for use by the Council to guide private and public development in the City, as well as the City’s own operations and decisions.

State law requires that the City’s ordinances regulating land use be consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code, individual project proposals, and other related plans and City ordinances must be consistent with the goals and policies in this General Plan.

The General Plan projects conditions and needs into the future as a basis for determining longterm objectives and policies and shorter-term decision making, budgeting and prioritization of implementation programs. The General Plan is considered “long-term” since it looks 20 years or further into the future. The City’s current General Plan was adopted in 2012. As such, the City is undertaking the development of a new General Plan known as Eastvale 2040 to help guide future development and plan for future needs for services in the City.

The Eastvale 2040 General Plan will update all the state-required General Plan elements, including Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. The Eastvale 2040 General Plan also addresses urban design, environmental justice, economic 1485

development, public health, and sustainability. As a matter of information, on June 21, 2022, the State Department of Housing Community and Development found the Eastvale 2021-2029 Housing Element update consistent with State law; thus, no changes are proposed to the Housing Element.

Major components of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan include:
• Update existing conditions, with year 2022 serving as the baseline year. • Update the General Plan development projections to the year 2040, the Eastvale 2040 planning period.
• Reorganization of the State-mandated General Plan elements into the following Eastvale 2040 General Plan subsections:
o Partnerships and Collaboration
o Built Environment
o Nature and Conservation
o Implementation
• Update the Land Use Element and Land Use Map with new land use designations and policy areas.
• Update existing General Plan Elements to reflect current conditions and new development projections.
• Add, delete, or modify existing General Plan Element goals and policies.

ES-4 ISSUES RAISED DURING SCOPING
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15082, the City prepared and distributed a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project that was circulated for public review on August 5, 2022 for a minimum period of 30 days (ending September 6, 2022). The NOP comment period is intended to notify responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and the public that the City, acting as the lead agency, would be preparing an EIR for the project. The City determined the scope of the analysis for this EIR as a result of initial project review and consideration of agency and public comments received in response to the NOP. For more information regarding the NOP process, refer to Section 1.0, Introduction. The NOP and the NOP comments are included as Appendix A to this EIR. A public scoping meeting was held on August 16, 2022; however, no public agencies attended.
1486
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
ES Executive Summary Environmental Impact Report
ES-4 City of Eastvale
Key areas of environmental concern, as conveyed during the NOP process, include, but are not limited to:
• Air quality analysis and mitigation
• Impacts to biological resources, such as habitat and protected species • Tribal consultation for future development associated with buildout of the project • Water needs and conservation
• Traffic control and concerns with traffic light wait times ES-5 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS
Section 15126.2(a) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR discuss any significant impacts associated with the project.

Section 3.0, Environmental Analysis, of this EIR describes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level, where feasible. The executive summary includes Table ES-1, which summarizes the environmental impacts, mitigation measures, and levels of significance before and after mitigation.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(c) requires that an EIR describe any significant impacts that cannot be avoided, even with the implementation of feasible mitigation measures. The environmental effects of the proposed project on various aspects of the environment are discussed in detail in Section 3.0. Based on the analysis in this EIR, all significant environmental impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level with exception of the following:

AIR QUALITY
Impact 3.1-1 The project would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable.

Impact 3.1-2 The project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable.

Impact 3.1-3 The project would result in localized emissions impacts or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable.
1487
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report ES Executive Summary
City of Eastvale ES-5
Impact 3.1-5 The project would result in a cumulatively considerable impact regarding consistency with an applicable air quality plan.

Impact 3.1-6 The project would result in cumulative impacts due to short-term construction air emissions.

Impact 3.1-7 The project would result in cumulative impacts due to long-term operational air emissions.

LAND USE AND PLANNING
Impact 3.7-2 The project would cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

ES-6 ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED BY THE DECISION-MAKING BODY
An EIR is an informational document intended to inform decision-makers and the public of the significant effects of a project, identify possible ways to minimize the significant effects, and describe reasonable alternatives to the proposed project. As the lead agency, the City of Eastvale must respond to each significant effect identified in this EIR by making “findings” for each significant effect. As part of the decision-making process, the City must determine whether or how to mitigate the associated significant effects of the project, including whether to implement a project alternative. Approval of the project despite identified significant and unavoidable environmental impacts requires a Statement of Overriding Considerations, explaining why the benefits of the project outweigh the environmental effects, as set forth in this document. 1488

ES-8 SUMMARY OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6 requires that an EIR describe a range of reasonable alternatives to a project that could feasibly attain the basic objectives of a project and avoid or lessen the environmental effects of a project. Further, CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e) requires that a “no project” alternative be evaluated in an EIR as well as any alternatives that were considered by the lead agency but were rejected as infeasible during the scoping process. Section 5.0, Alternatives, of this EIR includes a detailed discussion and a qualitative analysis of alternatives that have been rejected by the City, as well as the following scenarios considered to be feasible alternatives to the project as proposed.

ES-9 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The following alternatives have been identified for analysis in compliance with CEQA: Alternative 1 - No Project/Existing General Plan; Alternative 2 – Dispersed Development.

The No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative is required to discuss the existing conditions at the time the notice of preparation is published and evaluate what would reasonably be expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the proposed project is not approved (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.6(e)). Pursuant to CEQA, this alternative is also based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure and community services. Therefore, the No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative assumes that the Eastvale 2040 General Plan would not be adopted, and the land uses and development intensity assumed in the existing 2012 General Plan would be followed.

Under the Eastvale 2040 General Plan, new development would be focused in areas that are either vacant or located in suitable areas with existing land uses and infrastructure that can support more intensive development. This alternative was chosen to provide a counterpoint to the design approach taken in the proposed Eastvale 2040 plan. Rather than emphasizing growth in the identified policy areas, the Dispersed Development Alternative would redistribute density throughout the City. Some of this future growth would occur on the limited available vacant land within the City boundaries. The remainder would occur by changing the existing density/intensity of the assigned land use designation(s).

Table ES-2, Comparison of Project Alternative Impacts to the Proposed Project, summarizes the potential impact of each alternative on the environmental resources evaluated in the EIR that were identified as potentially significant as compared to the proposed project. 1503

Notes:
= Impact is equivalent to impact of proposed project (neither environmentally superior nor inferior). < Impact is less than impact of proposed project (environmentally superior). > Impact is greater than impact of proposed project (environmentally inferior). 1 Transportation impacts are based upon VMT (not total traffic volume) impacts. Refer to Section 3.11, Transportation.

As identified in Table ES-2 and elaborated in Section 5.0, the No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative. However, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2), a secondary alternative must be identified if the No Project Alternative is environmentally superior. Therefore, the Dispersed Development Alternative is identified as the environmentally superior alternative. This alternative would have similar significant and unavoidable land use and planning impacts as compared to the proposed project.

This alternative would involve greater significant and unavoidable impacts relative to air quality and transportation.

This alternative would meet the majority of the project objectives, including fulfilling the City’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment housing goals by increasing the residential development potential in the project area by 4,173 dwelling units through redesignating land uses through 2040; promoting a variety of housing choices to achieve the City’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment housing goals; and implementing new California State law General Plan requirements. This alternative would also achieve the objectives of enhancing and activating public/quasi-public land uses, including resources unique to the City of Eastvale such as the Santa Ana Riverfront; and creating a sustainable multi-modal transportation network that includes walkable, bicycle-friendly environments, but to a lesser degree than would the proposed project.

Section 1.0
Introduction
City of Eastvale 1.0-1

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE EIR
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that all State and local agencies consider the potential environmental impacts of projects over which they have discretionary authority. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is intended to provide decision-makers and the public with information concerning the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project, possible ways to reduce or avoid the possible significant environmental impacts and identify alternatives to the project. An EIR must also disclose significant impacts that cannot be avoided; growth inducing impacts; effects found not to be significant; as well as significant cumulative impacts of all past, present, and reasonably anticipated future projects.

The City of Eastvale (City) is the Lead Agency under CEQA and is responsible for preparing this Program EIR for the General Plan Update (State Clearinghouse No. 2022080090). This EIR has been prepared in conformance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), and the rules, regulations, and procedures for implementation of CEQA, as adopted by the City. The principal CEQA Guidelines sections governing content of this document are Sections 15120 through 15132 (Contents of Environmental Impact Reports), and Section 15168 (Program EIR).

The purpose of this EIR is to establish existing conditions, analyze potential environmental impacts from implementation of the proposed Eastvale 2040 General Plan (proposed project), and identify mitigation measures, as necessary, to reduce any identified significant environmental impacts. For more detailed information regarding the proposed project, refer to Section 2.0, Project Description.

The City, which has the principal responsibility for processing and approving the project, and other public (i.e., responsible and trustee) agencies that may use this EIR in the decision-making or permit process will consider the information in this EIR, along with other information that may be presented during the CEQA process.

Environmental impacts are not always able to be mitigated to a level considered less than significant; in those cases, impacts are considered significant and unavoidable impacts. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15093(b), if a public agency approves a project that has significant impacts that cannot be mitigated (i.e., significant unavoidable impacts), the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons for approving the project, based on the Final EIR and any other information in the public record for the project. This is termed, per CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, a “statement of overriding considerations.” 1506
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

1.0 Introduction Environmental Impact Report

1.0-2 City of Eastvale
This document analyzes the environmental effects of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan to the degree of specificity appropriate to the current proposed actions, as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15146. The analysis considers the activities associated with the project to determine the short-term and long-term effects associated with their implementation. This EIR discusses both the direct and indirect impacts of this project, as well as the cumulative impacts associated with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects at a programmatic level.

This EIR has been prepared as a Program EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, which states the following:
(a) General. A program EIR is an EIR which may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project and are related either:
(1) Geographically,
(2) As logical parts in the chain of contemplated actions, (3) In connection with issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing program, or (4) As individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority and having generally similar environmental effects which can be mitigated in similar ways.
(b) Advantages. Use of a program EIR can provide the following advantages. The program EIR can:
(1) Provide an occasion for a more exhaustive consideration of effects and alternatives than would be practical in an EIR on an individual action, (2) Ensure consideration of cumulative impacts that might be slighted in a caseby-case analysis, (3) Avoid duplicative reconsideration of basic policy considerations, (4) Allow the Lead Agency to consider broad policy alternatives and program-wide mitigation measures at an early time when the agency has greater flexibility to deal with basic problems or cumulative impacts, and
(5) Allow reduction in paperwork.
1507
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 1.0 Introduction
City of Eastvale 1.0-3
(c) Use with Later Activities. Subsequent activities in the program must be examined in the light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.
(1) If a later activity would have effects that were not examined in the Program EIR, a new Initial Study would need to be prepared leading to either an EIR or a Negative Declaration.
(2) If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required.
(3) An agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into subsequent actions in the program. (4) Where the subsequent activities involve site-specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operations were covered in the program EIR.
(5) A program EIR will be most helpful in dealing with subsequent activities if it deals with the effects of the program as specifically and comprehensively as possible. With a good and detailed analysis of the program, many subsequent activities could be found to be within the scope of the project described in the program EIR, and no further environmental documents would be required. (d) Use with Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations. A program EIR can be used to simplify the task of preparing environmental documents on later parts of the program.

The program EIR can:
(1) Provide the basis in an Initial Study for determining whether the later activity may have any significant impacts.
(2) Be incorporated by reference to deal with regional influences, secondary effects, cumulative impacts, broad alternatives, and other factors that apply to the program as a whole.
(3) Focus an EIR on a subsequent project to permit discussion solely of new effects which had not been considered before.

1.2 INTENDED USES OF THE EIR
The City will use this EIR analysis to focus later CEQA documents prepared for future projects through the use of tiering. PRC Section 21068.5 defines “tiering” as “the coverage of general matters and environmental impacts in an environmental impact report [EIR] prepared for a policy, plan, program, or ordinance followed by narrower or site-specific environmental impact reports [EIRs] which incorporate by reference the discussion in any prior environmental impact report [EIR] and which concentrate on the environmental impacts which (a) are capable of being mitigated, or (b) were not analyzed as a significant impact on the environment in the prior environmental impact report [EIR].”
CEQA Guidelines Section 15152(c) states that when a lead agency is using the tiering process in connection with an EIR for a large-scale planning approval, such as a general plan or component thereof (e.g., an area plan or community plan), the development of detailed, site-specific information may not be feasible and can be deferred, in many instances, to a project-specific CEQA document. For future projects, the City will determine the appropriate CEQA document (e.g., EIR or Negative Declaration) that would evaluate the environmental impacts of the project being proposed at that time. Subsequent environmental documents may incorporate this EIR by reference as a streamlining tool to focus on the site-specific issues related to the particular project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15152).

This EIR identifies General Plan goals and policies and mitigation measures and related performance standards that the City would apply to future projects. In future site-specific review, the City would apply the performance standards set forth in this EIR to confirm that one or more mitigation measures proposed in the EIR would effectively avoid or reduce particular environmental impacts of the future project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(a)(1)(b)).

1.3 EIR SCOPE, ISSUES, CONCERNS
To determine the scope of this EIR, the City took the following actions:
• Distributed a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed project to request input from public agencies on the scope of the evaluation to be undertaken in the EIR. • Held a scoping meeting to request input from public agencies on the scope of the evaluation to be undertaken in the EIR.

The NOP and response letters and scoping meeting summary are provided in Appendix A, Notice of Preparation and Scoping Documents.

Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-1

2.1 PROJECT LOCATION
Eastvale is located in the Inland Empire in northwestern Riverside County, California; refer to Exhibit 2.0-1, Regional Vicinity. The City is approximately 13 square miles in size and its boundaries extend from Hellman Avenue to the west (the San Bernardino county line), Philadelphia Avenue to the north (also the San Bernardino county line), the Santa Ana River and the City of Norco to the south, and Interstate 15 (I-15) to the east. This “planning area” or “project area” includes all land within the City limits; refer to Exhibit 2.0-2, Local Vicinity. Interstate and regional access to the City is provided by I-15, which runs in a north-south direction along the City’s eastern boundary, and State Route 60 (SR-60), which bisects the City’s northern limits in an east-west direction.

2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Eastvale has been primarily developed with single-family residential homes and commercial shopping centers prior to its incorporation in 2010. As of today, it is estimated that over 90 percent of the City’s available lands have already been built, leaving little opportunity for significant new development. Existing on-the-ground development within the City includes 18,396 residential dwelling units and approximately 15,779,566 square feet (362.25 acres) of non-residential uses.

2.3 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The current City of Eastvale General Plan (2012 General Plan) was adopted on June 13, 2012 and consists of the following State-mandated and optional elements:
• Land Use
• Circulation and Infrastructure
• Design
• Economic Development
• Air Quality and Conservation
• Healthy Community
• Housing
• Noise
• Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
• Safety
• Sustainability
The Housing Element was last updated in April 2022 in compliance with the State-mandated 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for cities within the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region. No changes are proposed to the Housing 1514

Notes:

1. Nomenclature reflects Existing General Plan terminology.

2. The 2012 General Plan has a greater Total Acreage than the Eastvale 2040 General Plan (proposed project) since the existing 2012 General Plan did not separate right of way as its own land use type.

According to the 2012 General Plan, General Plan buildout was anticipated to result in the development of 17,720 dwelling units, resulting in a population of 61,698 within the planning area. The 2012 General Plan did not expect growth for the City’s commercial land uses, which constituted approximately three percent of the City, or office land uses and industrial land uses, which constituted approximately five and eight percent of the City, respectively. Since its adoption over 10 years ago, the City has changed and evolved. As a result, a strategic update to 1515
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-3
the 2012 General Plan is warranted to address outdated information, projections, and policy direction.

The Eastvale 2040 General Plan (proposed project) was developed through a process involving community engagement activities, working sessions with City staff, and meetings with various stakeholder groups. To draft the Eastvale 2040 General Plan, a public engagement program solicited input from community members on their vision for the future. Over the past two years, several outreach methods were used, including:
• Community Champion Stakeholder Interviews, which gathered feedback from a diverse set of City of Eastvale community champions;
• Eastvale 2040 General Plan Clear Vision Speaker Series, a series of presentations by experts in the fields of urban planning, community design, community diversity, and economic strategy;
• Explore Eastvale, which invited community members to assess segments of the City’s streets using an online survey tool;
• Engage Eastvale, the City’s online engagement platform which hosted a number of surveys and forms for community members to provide feedback; • Community Visioning Workshop, a public workshop designed to reintroduce community members to the Eastvale 2040 General Plan and allow them to provide input on certain focus topics of the General Plan;
• Advisory Circles, four stakeholder meetings held to deliberate on the focus topics of land use, circulation, the Chandler area, as well as open space and conservation; • Planning Commission and City Council Workshops, which gathered feedback from the City’s appointed and elected officials;
• Pop-ups, at local events to provide community members with an impromptu opportunity to provide input on the future of Eastvale; and
• General Plan Open House, a “drop-in” open house where community members could share input on draft plans and map concepts of the key elements in the City’s General Plan.

Participants provided positive feedback on elements of Eastvale that work well, ranging from its diversity to its smaller size and sense of community, to the approachability of leadership and amenities such as the river walk and other recreational opportunities. 1516
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

2.0 Project Description Environmental Impact Report

2.4 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15124(b), the EIR project description must include a statement of objectives sought by the proposed project. The CEQA Guidelines note that “a clearly written statement of objectives will help the lead agency develop a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in the EIR and will aid the decision makers in preparing findings or a statement of overriding considerations, if necessary. The statement of objectives should include the underlying purpose of the project and may discuss the project benefits.” The City’s objectives for the Eastvale 2040 General Plan are to:
• Direct future growth in designated focus areas in a manner which preserves existing neighborhoods, enhances quality of life, and maintains a balance of land uses which benefits residents and businesses;
• Preserve Eastvale’s suburban character and promote development that embraces the City’s diversity, history, and sense of community;
• Enhance and activate public/quasi-public land uses, including resources unique to the City of Eastvale such as the Santa Ana Riverfront;
• Create a sustainable multi-modal transportation network that includes walkable, bicyclefriendly environments; • Increase residential development potential to meet regional housing needs; • Promote a variety of housing choices to achieve the City’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment housing goals; and
• Implement new California State law General Plan requirements.

2.5 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
California State law requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan. The General Plan is the official policy statement of the City for use by the Council to guide private and public development in the City, as well as the City’s own operations and decisions.

State law requires that the City’s ordinances regulating land use be consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code, individual project proposals, and other related plans and City ordinances must be consistent with the goals and policies in this General Plan.

The General Plan projects conditions and needs into the future as a basis for determining longterm objectives and policies and shorter-term decision making, budgeting and prioritization of 1517
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-5
implementation programs. The General Plan is considered “long-term” since it looks 20 years or further into the future. The City’s current General Plan was adopted in 2012. As such, the City is undertaking the development of a new General Plan known as Eastvale 2040 to help guide future development and plan for future needs for services in the City. This section of the EIR only summarizes relevant Eastvale 2040 General Plan components. The proposed General Plan Update (Eastvale 2040 General Plan) is an inherent companion document to this EIR as it constitutes the full extent of the project. The Eastvale 2040 General Plan and its supporting documentation are available on the City’s website at: https://www.eastvaleca.gov/ourcity/what-s-new/eastvale-2040.

The vision for the Eastvale 2040 General Plan is:
“Eastvale is an innovative and family-friendly city with an abundance of diverse entertainment, recreation, arts, mobility, housing, education, and business opportunities that, combined with its small-town character, makes it a coveted hub in the region. The close-knit community honors its roots as it fosters sustainable economic growth for future generations.”

2.5.1GENERAL PLAN UPDATE COMPONENTS
The Eastvale 2040 General Plan will update all the state-required General Plan elements, including Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. The Eastvale 2040 General Plan also addresses urban design, environmental justice, economic development, public health, and sustainability. As a matter of information, on June 21, 2022, the State Department of Housing Community and Development found the Eastvale 2021-2029 Housing Element update consistent with State law; thus, no changes are proposed to the Housing Element.

Major components of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan include:
• Update existing conditions, with year 2022 serving as the baseline year. • Update the General Plan development projections to the year 2040, the Eastvale 2040 planning period.
• Reorganization of the State-mandated General Plan elements into the following Eastvale 2040 General Plan subsections:
o Partnerships and Collaboration
o Built Environment
1518
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

2.0 Project Description Environmental Impact Report

o Nature and Conservation
o Implementation
• Update the Land Use Element and Land Use Map with new land use designations and policy areas.
• Update existing General Plan Elements to reflect current conditions and new development projections.
• Add, delete, or modify existing General Plan Element goals and policies.

2.5.2GENERAL PLAN UPDATE ELEMENTS
The Eastvale 2040 General Plan takes the State-mandated general plan requirements and divides them into the following major sections:
• Partnerships and Collaboration. Recognition that Eastvale must partner with community and business groups, faith-based organizations, and local and regional agencies to achieve its vision. This section starts the environmental justice discussion, an important theme of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan that carries through each section. • Built Environment. As the City is largely developed, this section introduces the land use and housing element requirements of state law and introduces focus areas that are expected to be the area of growth for the next 20 years and means of protection of established neighborhoods. The built environment also addresses the mobility element, recognizing the role of the automobile in Eastvale, while developing other mobility options.
• Nature and Conservation. While most of the City issuburban in design, opportunities exist to connect to the Santa Ana River and extend the connections throughout the City. This section includes the required open space, conservation, safety, and noise elements.

Eastvale has a fantastic opportunity for trails, interpretive centers, rewilding parts of the Santa Ana River, and developing a “grand” park. Connecting the City to the river is an exciting goal of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan.
• Implementation. Realizing the vision of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan will require actions ranging from changes to Municipal Code, to partnering with other agencies. The implementation section is not an exhaustive “to-do” list for implementing the Eastvale 2040 General Plan, but rather a means of prioritizing efforts needed to realize the vision. 1519
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-7
Each section is divided into chapters that focus on a topic area important to the City. Each chapter follows the same format:
• Introduction. A brief explanation of what the chapter will address. • Eastvale Essence. A short summary of the intent of the chapter and how it relates to the rest of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan.
• Requirements. A summary of the legal requirements for each topic area. • Big Ideas. The “big ideas” gathered from project scoping that inform the chapter are explained, along with any connectivity to other chapters or topics. • Key Points. Some topics are easily described in one or two paragraphs, while other topic areas require a bit more discussion. The intent of the key point discussions is to support the goals in each chapter.
• Goals and Policies. The goals and policies provide support for development codes and standards, as well as provide guidance to decision makers.

Each Eastvale 2040 Element has a specific purpose and focus, as described below. Together, they present a consistent policy platform, as required by law. No single element or subject supersedes any other, and all are internally consistent.

Housing Element
The Housing Element presents the City of Eastvale’s goals, quantified objectives, and policies relative to the development, improvement, and maintenance of housing within the incorporated areas of the City, during the period of 2021 to 2029.

The Housing Element’s goals, objectives, policies, and programs aim to ensure that the housing inventory of Eastvale is available, adequate, and affordable. A summary of the element is included in the Eastvale 2040 General Plan, while the entirety of the 2021-2029 Housing Element can be found in Volume 2 of the General Plan.

Land Use Element
The purpose of the Land Use Element is to provide a long-range guide for the physical development of the City, reflecting the community’s vision for a high quality of life through the built environment. This chapter identifies the range of allowed land uses in the City and designates where they are to be located. Land is finite and a valuable resource – its use dictates the City’s economic and fiscal future, which in turn results in City amenities and services that are provided to residents.
1520
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

2.0 Project Description Environmental Impact Report

The Land Use Element, and in particular the Land Use Map, describe both the type of development the community expects over time and where that development should occur.

Different uses of the land such as housing, offices, or stores are assigned standards such as housing units per acre, or a ratio of floor square footage to parcel size, so that the approximate size and extent of future development can be predicted. While not all of the standards are absolute, the descriptions in this element can be used to determine the number of new people and jobs expected in the next planning horizon. These estimates are then used to determine what services are needed.

Much of Eastvale is fully developed and is not expected to change significantly over the planning horizon. Established residential neighborhoods will remain as they exist today. However, there are three main areas of the city that are yet to develop: Downtown Eastvale, Chandler Area, and Riverfront. These areas each offer an opportunity to bring unique and creative land uses that will usher Eastvale into the next phase of its history.

Land Use Plan
The Eastvale 2040 General Plan Land Use Map identifies the type, location, and density/intensity of future development within the City; refer to Exhibit 2.0-4, Proposed Land Use Plan. The proposed land use plan assigns all land in the City of Eastvale to one of the 14 land use designations that are organized into four place types as described below.

Neighborhood
The Neighborhood place types represent the neighborhoods of Eastvale. Residential uses comprise most of the City. Each residential place type designation includes a range of allowable densities, calculated as the number of dwelling units allowed per net acres (units/acre). The maximum density represents a potential maximum number of residential units that could be achieved based on the provisions of both the General Plan and Zoning Code. Each residential place type also includes a minimum density.

Residential - Very Low (R-VL)
The intent of this designation is to respect the existing residential homes on larger lots. In addition to single-family homes, this designation also allows for the keeping of animals and limited agriculture. Preferred uses and development standards include:
• Single-family housing less than 4 units/acre
• Keeping of animals and limited agriculture
• Parks, trails, and other compatible public uses
1521
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-9
• Buildings limited to two stories in height
Residential - Low (R-L)
This designation encompasses the more traditional detached and attached single-family homes, but also allows for other forms of single-family up to eight (8) units per acre, including cluster homes, patio homes, and other single-family detached and attached configurations. Townhomes are also allowed in this category up to 8 units per acre. Preferred uses and development standards include:
• Detached and attached single-family housing from 4.1 to 8 units/acre • Parks, trails, schools, and other compatible public uses • Buildings limited to two stories in height
Residential - Moderate (R-M):

This designation provides for single-family detached and attached housing, including small-lot single- family homes, duplexes, triplexes, cluster homes, patio homes, townhomes, and other detached and attached configurations. Also provides for multifamily housing including courtyard housing, and stacked flats up to 20 units per acre. Preferred uses and development standards include:
• Single-family and multi-family homes from 8.1 to 20 units/acre • Parks, trails, schools, and other compatible public uses • Buildings limited to three stories in height
Residential – High (R-H)
The intent of this designation is to allow for a range of multi-family housing types (either for-sale or for-rent) including motor-courts, green-courts, stacked flats, and other configurations up to 40 units per acre. It is suitable as a buffer use between less intense neighborhoods and commercial areas. This housing designation is only allowed within two of the of the Policy Areas – the Downtown West and Downtown East Policy Areas. Site design and building design should contribute to walkable streets by incorporating pedestrian-oriented building frontages. Preferred uses and development standards include:
• Multi-family residential from 20.1 to 40 units/acre
• Usable common and private open space
1522
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

2.0 Project Description Environmental Impact Report

• Internal and external pedestrian connectivity to provide convenient access to the street and adjacent uses
• Parks, trails, schools, daycare, and other compatible public uses • Buildings limited to six stories in height
Employment
The land use place types that constitute the employment uses include commercial retail centers, industrial areas, and office uses. Development intensity for non-residential areas is defined by Floor Area Ratio (FAR), which is the ratio of total gross floor area of all buildings on a lot compared to the total area of that lot. Higher FARs generally indicate larger buildings and/or more stories.

The driver in determining FAR is the amount of parking that is required and how that parking is satisfied on a site (either surface parking, in a structure, or underground). Each of the employment place types are defined below.

Commercial Retail (CR)The Commercial Retail designation provides for highly visible and accessible retail, services and dining opportunities along arterial corridors that serve the needs of residents locally and in surrounding communities. These centers also support nearby businesses and employees. Typical uses also include public uses (e.g., City Hall), cultural and entertainment uses, professional offices, and hospitality services.

Development standards include:
• Development intensity or FAR of 0.25 – 0.50
• Maximum height of 50 feet, with certain exemptions per the Zoning Code • Design for internal walkability between uses and for easy pedestrian access from surrounding residential neighborhoods
Industrial Flex (IF)
The Industrial Flex designation provides for light or limited industrial and manufacturing activities where operations are typically enclosed in a structure and limited exterior storage or operations are fully screened from public view. Exceptions would include commercial nursery or agricultural operations. This designation is also suitable for employee-intensive uses, such as corporate offices, research and development, and technology centers with supporting retail uses. It also provides a suitable location for start-up businesses, recreational businesses, and “maker” spaces for breweries, arts & crafts, clothing, food, and similar small-scale industries. Adaptive re-use of older industrial buildings to accommodate the broader mix of uses allowed is encouraged. 1523
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-11
Development standards include:
• Development intensity or FAR from 0.25 – 0.60
• Maximum height of 40 feet
Business – Professional (B-P)
The Business-Professional designation provides for employee-intensive uses, including research and development, technology centers, medical facilities, corporate and professional office uses, “clean” industry, and supporting retail uses. This place type also provides a suitable location for innovative start-up businesses and creative design offices in the arts, engineering, media, among others. Maker spaces for breweries, arts & crafts, clothing, food, and similar small-scale industries is also allowed.
• Development standards include:
• Development intensity or FAR from 0.25 – 0.60
• Maximum height of 75 feet
Open Space
The land use place types that constitute the Open Space category apply to land and water areas that are generally undeveloped or developed with very low-intensity uses. Depending on their function, the open space place types may be used for passive or active recreation, conservation, or flood control.

Water (W)
The Water designation applies to natural, man-made, and altered water courses, including the Santa Ana River, stream channels, and flood control facilities. The purpose is to designate the location of a water course and ensure that special policies associated with surrounding open space or habitat protection are considered. There is no development allowed within the Water designation, other than flood control facilities as deemed necessary by the governing agency.

Open Space – Recreation (OS-R)
The Open Space – Recreation designation is intended to provide for and preserve publicly owned land for passive and active recreational uses including parks, trails, and athletic fields. In addition to the neighborhood parks in Eastvale, it has also been applied to the electric utility easement on the north end of the City where trails and landscaping are allowed with the approval of the utility company. This designation may also be applied to private outdoor recreation facilities. Land within the Open Space – Recreation designation can be subject to occasional flooding. 1524
Eastvale 2040 General Plan

2.0 Project Description Environmental Impact Report

Riverfront Policy Area (RF-PA)
The Riverfront Policy Area provides for the conservation of natural resource areas including watersheds, habitat areas and corridors, and areas within flood zones. It also aims to activate the entire interface of the Santa River with various recreational uses to take full advantage of this unique natural asset. This category has been applied to the Santa Ana River watershed, associated habitat areas, and parcels prone to flooding and owned by the Flood Control District.

Potential uses within the Riverfront Policy Area include athletic fields, trails, and other types of recreation uses subject to the approval of the Flood Control District. In addition, agriculture may be an appropriate use, if allowed, on flood control land along Hellman Avenue.

Unique
The land use place types within the Unique category encompass four policy areas where there are opportunities for new development to take place over time. Two of the policy areas are currently vacant (Downtown West and Citrus), while the other two have the potential to transition with infill development (Downtown East and Chandler Area). Each policy area requires additional study – either through a future Specific Plan or similar planning/regulatory tool.

Below is the General Plan guidance for the focus areas. The guidance includes the mix of land uses envisioned, maximum density and intensity standards, and design direction.

Downtown West Policy Area
The Downtown West Policy Area is part of a 153.1-acre area along Limonite that is envisioned as the center piece of Eastvale’s future downtown. The property, located at the northwest intersection of Limonite and Hamner Avenues is intended to provide for a range of housing, retail, restaurants, hospitality, entertainment, and civic uses in a walkable urban environment. The property may also be suitable for a satellite college or university campus, or medical related uses.

A range of housing types between 20.1 and 40 dwelling units per acre is allowed, with a minimum requirement of 2,500 units. Non-residential uses can range from 0.25 to 1.5 FAR.

At the heart of Downtown West is a 16.5-acre area at the corner of Limonite and Hamner Avenues. In May 2022, the City Council approved a Development Agreement between The New Home Company and the City to designate the 16.5-acre area under an option agreement for development of a city hall building, outdoor amphitheater and civic park area, police station, library, hotel, office uses, and a variety of restaurants and retail uses totaling 495,000 square feet. Detailed planning and development of the entire Downtown West Policy Area is guided by the adopted Leal Master Plan.
1525
Eastvale 2040 General Plan
Environmental Impact Report 2.0 Project Description
City of Eastvale Page 2.0-13
Downtown East Policy Area
The Downtown East Policy area is located across Hamner Avenue to the east of the Downtown West Policy Area and includes three existing shopping centers including the Cloverdale shopping center, Eastvale Gateway North shopping center, and Eastvale Gateway South shopping center.

This community commercial center has an abundance of parking that could accommodate new residential development. The intent is to allow for a transition to an integrated, walkable, mixeduse environment for commercial retail and services, entertainment, and residential uses, along with a variety of public open space amenities.

Looking south across Limonite Avenue, is a vacant, 20-acre parcel of land that is at the main entrance to the City from I-15. This important site is proximate to shopping, entertainment, and services, as well as transit. The area is intended to become a mix of low-moderate housing up to 40 dwelling units per acre on the southern half of the parcel, with commercial and office uses on the northern half of the site up to 1.5 FAR.

While a specific plan may be considered for the Downtown East Policy area, the Eastvale 2040 General Plan already provides for the ability of these sites to develop with mixed-use. Because of these sites being located near I-15, it is likely that design considerations will be needed to protect against noise and diesel emissions associated with the Interstate.

Chandler Policy Area
The Chandler Policy Area, named for the roadway that forms its southern boundary, is one of two areas of Eastvale that provided housing for dairy workers until the late 1990s when many of the dairies began relocating outside of Eastvale. The Chandler Policy Area contains a mix of land uses that reflect the community’s agricultural heritage, including homes on large lots, agriculturerelated businesses, horse corrals, barns, and farm animals. The western boundary of this area is formed by land owned by the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) and is not available for development; however, open space and some urban agricultural use could be allowed. The OCFCD is the lead agency appointed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to manage the improvements at Prado Dam and its effect on communities upstream from the dam.

The Chandler Policy Area encourages a broader mix of low-intensity uses, that are compatible with the rural character of the area. The businesses could have housing or offices above them in the same building, or in a separate building nearby. Toward the west where the flooding restricts development potential, agricultural businesses that could farm the land are encouraged. The area is envisioned to allow maker spaces for incubator businesses, artisans, and craft restaurants and breweries. The open space nearby could also be used for festivals and gatherings celebrating the diversity of the community. An important aspect of development in the Chandler Area will be to respect and support the continuation of the existing agricultural and residential uses. A 1526

specific plan will be required to guide how new residential and non-residential development can occur sensitively and in a way that creates a unique place in the City. New residential will be allowed up to 20 dwelling units per acre, with a minimum project size of 2 acres. Non-residential uses can range up to 0.35 FAR, also with a 2-acre minimum size project.

Citrus Policy Area
The Citrus Policy Area serves as one anchor to the improved Santa Ana River trail and adjacent recreation amenities. A goal of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan is to enhance the river with more trails, recreational opportunity, and rewilding. While some of the Citrus Policy Area will accommodate senior housing, most of this area is in the floodplain and unlikely to have more than recreational uses. Working with Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD), the plan is to expand recreational activities, river access, and improve the quality of the riparian area along the Santa Ana River. As a focal point for the river, the Citrus Policy Area will serve as a trail hub, informational site, and be truly integrated into the Santa Ana River Trail. This Policy Area also includes approximately 20 acres of land owned by the City and should support and be integrated with the recreation and community-serving uses in this area. Visitor-serving uses, including a hotel, could be accommodated in this area. The Citrus Policy Area on the east will balance the ‘grand park’ proposed in the west along Hellman Avenue. The Santa Ana River will connect the two, as will existing and new trails and pathways through the City.

Noise Element
The Noise Element guides the location of future planned noise-sensitive land uses and considers noise exposure when placing facilities that generate significant volumes of noise. For purposes of the Noise Element, "noise-sensitive areas and uses" include residential areas, parks, schools, places of worship, churches, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. It is also important that noise generating uses from industry and commerce be protected from incompatible noise sensitive uses.

Specific topics addressed in the Noise Element include:
• Noise Environment and Measurements;
• Transportation Noise Sources;
• Fixed Noise Sources; and
• Vibration.

Open Space and Conservation Element
The amount and quality of open space defines the character of a community. The City enjoys many parks, and roughly four miles of frontage along the Santa Ana River. The continued stewardship of these resources is important to maintaining the quality of life in Eastvale as the City grows. This chapter of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan sets goals and direction for both open space and conservation of natural resources. Conservation also includes stewardship air and water, and the other essential elements to life. This chapter includes high level policies that address these issues and ensure that land use decisions are made with the environment of Eastvale in mind.

Partnerships and Collaboration Element
Eastvale is surrounded by four other cities and is situated at the western edge of Riverside County, bordered by San Bernardino County. Success for Eastvale needs the partnership and collaboration of others. Examples include the partnership with Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) for regional transportation planning, Orange County Flood Control for use of land that will someday become the “grand park,” and the Santa Ana River Conservancy that will help Eastvale activate the riverfront. This chapter includes policies that continue longstanding collaboration and open the door for new partnerships.

Safety Element
The Safety Element is a state-mandated General Plan element that must identify potential natural and human-created hazards that could affect the City’s residents, businesses, and services. The purpose of the Safety Element is to establish a framework that anticipates these hazards and prepares the community to minimize exposure to these risks.

Mobility Element
The purpose of the Mobility Element is to provide a long-range guide for providing transportation options that support the community’s vision for a sustainable, healthy community. This chapter identifies the range of transportation options that include walking, bicycling, micro-mobility, driving and riding transit. Creating a network of integrated roads, trails, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities is essential to reducing emissions and improving air quality, creating safe and healthy streets, and connecting the community to activity centers and resources. 1528
