Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-221
Final EIR
April 2025
Comment O3.14: The comment states that the Draft EIR does not include any analysis regarding the inconsistency of the proposed Project with some of the General Plan goals and policies related to Mixed Use and does not comply with CEQA’s requirements for meaningful disclosure, including the potentially significant impacts.

Response O3.14: The comment is introductory in nature and does not raise a specific issue with the adequacy of the Draft EIR. The Project includes a General Plan Amendment to change the site’s Mixed Use designation to Business Park. Thus, the EIR appropriately evaluates the proposed Project, which is the proposed development and the proposed Business Park General Plan designation that would be consistent with the existing zoning designation. Pursuant to state law, a general plan and zoning designation require consistency and any inconsistency be brought into conformance in a prompt manner. Accordingly, the Applicant is simply seeking compliance with state law to harmonize the land use designations. The proposed General Plan Amendment would result in consistency with the existing zoning and would not result in an environmental effect. Further, a land use designation in and of itself does not constitute a "land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect." It is a designation to provide development standards for projects. Therefore, the Project’s proposed General Plan Amendment does not constitute a conflict with the policies of the General Plan.

Additionally, the Draft EIR does provide an analysis of buildout of the Project site pursuant to the existing Mixed Use Land Use designation. As detailed on page 8-21 of the Draft EIR, implementation of this alternative would bring more occupants and vehicle trips to the Project site that would result in an increase in air quality emissions, energy, and noise.

The Draft EIR also identifies all potentially significant as well as significant and unavoidable impacts in relation to the proposed Project. The reader is referred to Section 1.0 Executive Summary of the DEIR and Chapter 4 MMRP of this Final EIR for a description of the potential impacts and related mitigation.

Comment O3.15: The comment states that the proposed Project would not be consistent with the General Plan and its visions for the Mixed Use Area #4. The comment states that the EIR must be revised to show the inconsistencies with the Land Use District.

Response O3.15: As detailed in the previous response, the EIR appropriately evaluates the proposed Project, which is the proposed development and the proposed Business Park General Plan designation that would be consistent with the existing zoning designation. The proposed General Plan Amendment would result in consistency with the existing zoning. Development assumptions and scenarios presented in the General Plan and its program-level EIR should not be considered a “cap” on permissible acreage or square footage buildout, but simply serve as a framework upon which future project-level environmental analyses may be based. The General Amendment was discussed in the Draft EIR on pages 3-13, 3-35, 5.11-19, and

5.13-6. Potential General Plan inconsistencies that could result in an environmental effect are detailed within Table 5.11-2.

In addition, CEQA case law recognizes that the Lead Agency has the responsibility of determining whether any project is consistent with the lead agencies general plan, “the body which adopted the general plan policies in its legislative capacity has unique competence to interpret those policies when applying them in its adjudicatory capacity.” (Save Our Peninsula Com. v. County of Monterey (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 142.) Thus, the Lead Agency has decided that the proposed Project is consistent with the policy mentioned in the comment due to the reasons mentioned above.

Comment O3.16: The comment states that the proposed Project is not consistent with General Plan Policy LU

1.12 Flexibility Over Time. The comment explains that the project would exceed the established intensity allowed in the general Plan and increase building square footage by 7%. The comment also states that the

7.A.

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-222
Final EIR
April 2025
EIR does not analyze the surrounding land use designations and must be revised to show inconsistency with the surrounding area.

Response O3.16: The comment confuses the General Plan Land Use and zoning designations. The site and surrounding areas are zoned for business park and mixed uses. There are different and sometimes inconsistent land use designations. As detailed on Draft EIR page 5.11-21, Building 1 would result in a FAR of 0.47 and Building 2 would result in a FAR of 0.39 which is below the maximum FAR of 0.60 allowed by the Business Park zoning. The General Amendment was discussed in the Draft EIR on page 3-13, 3-35, 5.11- 19, and 5.13-6. As discussed in Section 3.0, Project Description, the proposed Project site has an existing zoning designation of Business Park and pursuant to state law, a general plan and zoning designation require consistency and any inconsistency be brought into conformance in a prompt manner. Accordingly, the Applicant is simply seeking compliance with state law to harmonize the land use designations.

The comment also incorrectly states that there are no other parcels zoned for Business Park uses surrounding the Project site. However, two parcels, one adjacent to the southwest and one across Simpson Road to the northeast of the proposed Project site are each zoned for Business Park uses. In addition, the City of Hemet is a housing rich City. Thus, the inclusion of additional industrial jobs into the City due to employment markets would be consistent with the General Plan Policy mentioned in the comment.

CEQA case law recognizes that the Lead Agency has the responsibility of determining whether any project is consistent with the lead agencies General Plan, “the body which adopted the general plan policies in its legislative capacity has unique competence to interpret those policies when applying them in its adjudicatory capacity.” (Save Our Peninsula Com. v. County of Monterey (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 142.) Thus, the Lead Agency has decided that the proposed Project is consistent with the Policy mentioned in the comment due to the reasons mentioned above.

Comment O3.17: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Policy LU 1.13 Build a Strong Community as the Draft EIR does not provide any information of the City’s jobs/housing balance and would have a significant and unavoidable VMT impact.

Response O3.17: The comment incorrectly states that the EIR does not provide any information regarding the City’s job/housing balance. The City’s jobs/housing balance is laid out in Table 5.13-5 in Section 5.13, Population and Housing. Both the table and the analysis within the section illustrate that the City is housing rich. Thus, additional employment from the Project would provide a benefit. As discussed in Section 5.15.7 Cumulative Impacts, while the proposed Project would result in a significant and unavoidable Project specific VMT impact, implementation of the proposed Project would reduce VMT on a City-wide basis due to the City’s current lack of jobs for citizens residing in the area and that the Project would provide employment for local residents. Thus, the Project would not be inconsistent with the General Plan Policy mentioned in the comment and no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.18: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Goal LU-3 Avoid Land Use Conflict and provide compatible development, as the Project’s proposed business park land use is not compatible with the surrounding mixed uses surrounding the site. The comment states that Mixed Use Area #4 is envisioned to create a residential and retail/business park node and the proposed Project does not align with this vision. The comment also notes that the proposed Project would not be consistent with General Plan Policy LU 2.4, Concentrate Land Uses, as the Project site is located in an isolated part of the city surrounded by rural land.

Response O3.18: As discussed in Section 3.0, Project Description, the proposed Project site has an existing zoning designation of Business Park, and a General Plan Amendment would be required for the site’s General Plan Land Use designation to be consistent with the existing zoning. Approval of the proposed amendment would resolve the inconsistency with the existing Zoning Map. As discussed above, there are two

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments

Final EIR

parcels, one adjacent to the southwest and one across Simpson Road to the Northeast that are each zoned for Business Park uses. In addition, parcels surrounding the Project are currently vacant or used for agricultural purposes. There are currently no proposed projects within the Project vicinity, including within the adjacent parcels which have a Business Park zoning designation and Mixed Use General Plan Land Use designation.

The Project proposes the development of two industrial warehouses on a site that is currently zoned for Business Park uses. The General Plan does not limit light industrial uses to parcels owned by the Metropolitan Water District, as inferred by the comment. In addition, residential land uses are allowed under the mixeduse land use designation but they are not required. Thus, the proposed industrial uses onsite would be consistent with the existing MU land use designation of the site as it is listed as an allowed use. The Project site is zoned for Business Park uses and located adjacent to two truck routes designated by the General Plan and conveniently located in proximity to Highway 74 and Highway 79 and has access to available infrastructure, including roads and utilities to accommodate the growing need for goods movement within southern California. Thus, the Project site is located in a prime location for the proposed industrial uses and is consistent with the smart growth concepts envisioned by the General Plan.

Contrary to the comment’s assumption that the change in land use would increase impacts in comparison to the Project, the Draft EIR provides an analysis of buildout of the Project site pursuant to the existing Mixed Use Land Use designation. As detailed on page 8-21 of Section 8.0, Alternatives of the Draft EIR, implementation of this alternative would result in the same impacts to agriculture and would bring more occupants and vehicle trips to the Project site that would result in an increase in air quality emissions, energy, and noise. Further, development of the site consistent with the existing zoning designation would not result in an incompatible development.

Comment O3.19: The comment states that the EIR does not have meaningful evidence to support its conclusions that there would be a less than significant impact related to a safety hazard or excessive noise within two miles of a public airport. The comment explains that the Project is required to be reviewed by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (RCALUC) after the EIR public Review period, which is deferred mitigation. The comment also notes that the building heights listed in the EIR (60 feet) are different from those in the RCALUC application (52 feet).

Response O3.19: As discussed above in Response O3.10, the proposed Project was approved by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission on June 13, 2024. This information has been included in Chapter 3.0, Errata. Thus, the proposed Project would be consistent with the General Plan Policy mentioned in the comment. In addition, the Draft EIR analyzed the proposed Project buildings at a height of 60 feet in order to include the most conservative analysis. In accordance with the Conditions of Approval provided by the RCALUC, any changes to building area or intensity are subject to an amended review to evaluate consistency with the ALUCP compatibility criteria. Thus, this comment does not contain any information requiring further changes to the EIR. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.20: The comment states that the Draft EIR does not support the conclusions the proposed Project would be consistent with General Plan Policy LU 11.1, Attract New Businesses, as the Draft EIR does not provide any information about the wages of the employees, the tax revenue generated from the Project, or evidence that the unemployed population is qualified or interested in work in the industrial sector.

Response O3.20: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with the physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The project merits, including any economic and social effects of the project are not treated as effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)). Therefore, consistent with CEQA, the Draft EIR includes an analysis of the project’s potentially significant physical impacts

7.A.

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-224
Final EIR
April 2025
on the environment and does not include a discussion of tax revenue or employee wages. Furthermore, CEQA Guidelines Section 15204(a) states that when responding to comments, lead agencies need only respond to significant environmental issues and do not need to provide all information requested by reviewers. Thus, information related to employee wages and tax revenue is not provided.

An analysis of the City’s unemployment rate was discussed in Section 5.13, Population and Housing. The Draft EIR stated “the employees that would fill these roles are anticipated to come from within the City or the region, as the unemployment rate of the City of Hemet as of August 2023 was 6.3%, and the County of Riverside was 5.4% (BLS, 2023). Due to these levels of unemployment, it is anticipated that new employees at the Project site would already reside within commuting distance and would not generate substantial needs for any housing.” Draft EIR page 6-3 describes that most of the new jobs that would be created by the Project would be positions that do not require a specialized workforce, and this type of workforce exists in the City of Hemet and surrounding communities. As discussed in further detail in Section 5.13, Population and Housing, on Table 5.13-4, the transportation and warehousing and utilities industries account for the third largest employment sector within the City of Hemet. Due to existing unemployment and the availability of a workforce, it is anticipated that new jobs that would be generated from Project implementation would be filled by people within the City of Hemet and surrounding communities. Thus, the proposed Project would bring jobs to the community that would be filled by members of the community, consistent with the General Plan Policy mentioned in the comment. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.21: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Policy LU 11.9, Consider Industrial Use Locations, because the Project site is located in a prime location and would require a General Plan Amendment. The comment concludes that the revenue or benefits provided to the City is not discussed in the EIR and the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts and thus the Project is inconsistent with the Policy.

Response O3.21: The commenter incorrectly equates the use of prime location in the General Plan referring to sensitive sites used in the General Plan with the use in the Draft EIR which describes the Project site. The Project site is located adjacent to two truck routes designated by the General Plan and conveniently located in proximity to Highway 74 and Highway 79 and has access to available infrastructure, including roads and utilities to accommodate the growing need for goods movement within southern California. Thus, the Project site is located in a prime location for the proposed industrial uses that are consistent with the site’s existing Business Park zoning designation. As stated previously, the General Plan Amendment is required for the Project site to be consistent with the site’s Business Park zoning designation.

As described previously, the Draft EIR includes an analysis of the buildout of the Project site pursuant to the existing Mixed Use Land Use designation. As detailed on page 8-21 of Section 8.0, Alternatives of the Draft EIR, implementation of this alternative would result in the same impacts to agriculture and would bring more occupants and vehicle trips to the Project site that would result in an increase in air quality emissions, energy, and noise in comparison to the proposed Project.

Ultimately, it is up to the City to determine what the Project benefits are and if they would outweigh any potential significant and unavoidable impacts. In accordance with CEQA Section 21081(b) and CEQA Guideline Section 15093, in order to approve the Project, the City is required to determine that the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified above may be considered acceptable due to specific considerations which outweigh the unavoidable, adverse environmental impacts of the Project. If the City approves a project which will result in the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the final EIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened, the City shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. This Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. If the City decides to approve the project and makes a SOC, the statement will be included in the record of the project approval and will be mentioned in the notice of determination.

Per Public Resources Code § 21002.1 (a), the purpose of an environmental impact report is to identify the significant effects on the environment of a project, to identify alternatives to the project, and to indicate the manner in which those significant effects can be mitigated or avoided.” Therefore, the Draft EIR is not intended to serve as the justification for adopting a SOC or as basis for the approval or denial of the Project, but to disclose the environmental consequences of approving the Project and a SOC. Through the public hearing process, the decision-makers within the City will take into consideration the environmental impacts caused by the Project in if it decides to approve the Project, a SOC will be required.

Comment O3.22: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Policy C 1.3, Traffic Flow, as implementation of the proposed Project would result in an unsatisfactory service level for 3 intersections, one of which is a Caltrans intersection. The comment states that the paying of fair share for road improvement does not count as mitigation as the improvements associated with the fees are not planned to occur at any certain time.

Response O3.22: As part of the 2019 amendments to the CEQA Guidelines, SB 743 directed that the revised CEQA Guidelines “shall promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses” (Public Resources Code Section 21099[b][1]); and that “automobile delay, as described solely by level of service or similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic congestion, shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment” (Public Resources Code Section 21099[b][2]). As such, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21099(b)(2), the Draft EIR is not required to analyze impacts related to traffic congestion as it shall not be considered an impact on the environment. Thus, Policy C 1.3 does not warrant a consistency analysis related to a potential environmental impact.

The comment states that identification of the Project’s fair share of identified improvements is not adequate if the improvement is not included in an existing DIF/TUMF program. As noted in above, level of service is not considered an environmental impact under CEQA, and therefore any recommended roadway improvements, as well as Project fair-share payments, would not be part of the CEQA process or subject to the mitigation measures or mitigation monitoring as part of the Draft EIR. No further response is required.

Comment O3.23: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Policy C 4.6, Vehicle Mile Reduction, as the proposed Project would result in a significant and unavoidable VMT impact.

Response O3.23: While the proposed Project would result in a project specific significant and unavoidable VMT impacts, the proposed Project would reduce VMT on a City-wide basis due to the provision of employment for City residents. The Project would include California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) measures with the goal of reducing VMT in accordance with Senate Bill 375 and CARB, consistent with the General Plan Policy mentioned in the comment. Thus, while the Project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact to Project specific VMT, the Project would be consistent with General Plan Policy O

3.23 in implementing measures to reduce VMT at a Citywide level. No further response warranted.

Comment O3.24: The comment states that the proposed Project fails to comply with the Housing Crisis Act/ Senate Bill (SB) 330/SB 8 as the Project does not provide replacement capacity for the reduced residential development as a result of the proposed Project. The comment supports this by stating the R-4 Zoning district permits the development of 3,199 dwelling units. The comment concludes that the Project must provide 3,199 replacement units elsewhere in the city in accordance with SB 330 and the loss of residential capacity should be included as a finding of significance.

Response O3.24: The commenter erroneously applies the requirements of SB 330 to the proposed Project.

As discussed on page 3-13 of the Draft EIR, the Project site has a zoning of Business Park (B-P) and not R-4.

Thus, there is no residential density assigned to the Project site. The General Plan Amendment is required in

7.A.

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-226
Final EIR
April 2025
order for the site’s General Plan Designation to be consistent with its existing zoning. As set forth in Government Code Section 65860, a jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance is required to be consistent with the General Plan. As such, the proposed Project would be consistent with the provisions of Government Code Section 65860 and is not required to upzone a different site or identify a replacement housing site pursuant to SB 330. The comment does not contain any information requiring changes to the Draft EIR. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.25: This comment states that the Draft EIR failed to analyze the construction and operation of replacement housing that is required by SB 330 and thus is piecemealed. The comment concludes by stating that the ERI must analyze the whole of an action and include the analysis of the replacement units.

Response O3.25: As discussed above in Response O3.24, implementation of the proposed Project would not require the construction or operation of replacement sites, therefore they do not need to be included within the CEQA analysis. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.26: The comment states that the proposed Project must provide a quantified analysis of the Project’s growth compared to the General Plan’s buildout. The comment requests that a revised EIR include an analysis of buildout of the Project and projects “in the pipeline” and their development intensity to determine if they would exceed the projected buildout scenario.

Response O3.26: This comment is a dupicate of Comment O3.11, please see Response O3.11.

Comment O3.27: The comment states that the proposed Project would result in an imbalance of jobs housing by adding additional jobs in a job-rich community.

Response O3.27: The commenter incorrectly states that the projected jobs/housing ratio in the City of Hemet is 2.47 in 2016 and projected to be 2.26 in 2045. As seen in Table 5.13-5 of the Draft EIR, as of 2021, the City of Hemet has a jobs/housing ratio of 0.59 and is projected to have a jobs-housing ratio of 0.75. As stated in Section 5.13, Population and Housing, communities with a jobs-housing ratio of less than 1.19 are considered to be housing rich, thus the proposed Project would help the City reach a better job/housing balance by creating additional jobs in the community.

Comment O3.28: The comment states that the Draft EIR must include a cumulative analysis of the impact of the proposed Project in combination with previous projects since 2016 and projects “in the pipeline” to determine if the Project would result in a cumulative exceedance of employment and population growth forecasts.

Response O3.28: Development assumptions and scenarios presented in the General Plan and its programlevel EIR should not be considered a “cap” on permissible acreage or square footage buildout, but simply serve as a framework upon which future project-level environmental analyses may be based. Cumulative projects, including the Newland Kirby project, are properly included in Table 5-1 of the Draft EIR and accounted for throughout the analysis of the Draft EIR,. All previously constructed projects (i.e., completed prior to issuance of the 2023 Notice of Preparation for the Draft EIR) are considered part of the environmental baseline and have therefore been accounted for as part of the existing conditions.

Growth-inducing potential of a project would be considered significant if it fosters growth or a concentration of population in excess of what is assumed in master plans, land use plans, or in projections made by regional planning agencies, such as SCAG. According to SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS population and household growth forecast for Hemet, between 2016 and 2045, SCAG anticipates an employment increase of 18,500 additional jobs (from 21,700 to 40,200), yielding an 85% growth rate. SCAG also anticipates a population increase of 42,500 between 2016 and 2045 (from 81,500 to 124,000). The proposed Project would generate the need for approximately 1,158 employees, which represents approximately 2.72% of the forecasted population growth between 2016 and 2045 and approximately 6.26% of the forecasted

7.A.

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-227
Final EIR
April 2025
employment growth between 2016 and 2045 for the City. According to the Employment Development Department, as of August 2023, Hemet’s unemployment rate was approximately 6.3%. Additionally, as detailed on Draft EIR page 5.11-21, Building 1 would result in a FAR of 0.47 and Building 2 would result in a FAR of 0.39 which is below the maximum FAR of 0.60 allowed by the Business Park zoning, and related employment projections. Thus, although the Project would generate additional long-term employment in the Project area, the new employment opportunities would be within the forecasted and planned growth of the City.

Comment O3.29: The comment states that the Draft EIR does not provide sufficient evidence to support the claim that the employees are expected to come from within the City or region, and the Draft EIR should be revised to support this claim with evidence of the available workforce and provide a definition for “commuting distance.”
Response O3.29: See previous Response O3.20. Despite the fact that the proposed Project would require a General Plan Amendment, these actions are not considered to be precedent setting actions (defined as any act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations), as they are commonly undertaken on a regular basis by many jurisdictions and relate specifically to the Project site.

Further, as elaborated above and throughout the Draft EIR in Section 5.3, Air Quality, 5.11, Land Use and Planning, and Section 5.13, Population and Housing, the Project would not induce substantial population growth in an area beyond what is forecasted, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure).

Draft EIR page 6-3 describes that most of the new jobs that would be created by the Project would be positions that do not require a specialized workforce, and this type of workforce exists in the City of Hemet and surrounding communities. As discussed in further detail in Section 5.13, Population and Housing, on Table

5.13-4, the transportation and warehousing and utilities industries account for the third largest employment sector within the City of Hemet. Thus, due to existing unemployment and the availability of a workforce, it is anticipated that new jobs that would be generated from Project implementation would be filled by people within the City of Hemet and surrounding communities.

Comment O3.30: The comment states that the proposed Project would be inconsistent with General Plan Policy C 1.3, Traffic Flow, as implementation of the proposed Project would result in an unsatisfactory service level for 3 intersections. The comment states that the paying of fair share for road improvement does not count as mitigation as the improvements associated with the fees are not planned to occur at any certain time. The comment notes that some improvements associated with the fair share fees are listed in the Draft EIR, however some of the recommendations from Appendix N have been excluded and the Draft EIR should be revised to include all traffic improvements recommended in the report.

Response O3.30: As stated above in Response O3.22, SB 743 directed that the revised CEQA Guidelines “shall promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses” (Public Resources Code Section 21099[b][1]); and that “automobile delay, as described solely by level of service or similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic congestion, shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment” (Public Resources Code Section 21099[b][2]).

As such, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21099(b)(2), the Draft EIR is not required to analyze impacts related to traffic congestion, as it does not constitute a potential impact to the environment. Thus, Policy C 1.3 does not warrant a consistency analysis related to potential environmental impacts.

The comment states that identification of the Project’s fair share of identified improvements is not adequate if the improvement is not included in an existing DIF/TUMF program. As noted in above, level of service is not considered an environmental impact under CEQA, and therefore any recommended roadway improvements, as well as Project fair-share payments, would not be part of the CEQA process or subject to the mitigation measures or mitigation monitoring as part of the Draft EIR. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.31: The comment states that the Projects VMT analysis was underestimated as it did not include truck/trailer/delivery van activity. The comment concludes in saying that a revised EIR must be prepared to with a revised VMT analysis to include truck/trailer/and delivery van activity.

Response O3.31: Based on local and State guidance as well as the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, VMT is an evaluation of passenger cars, not truck trips. The VMT analysis conducted therefore, only analyzed VMT/Employee for home-based-work trips as per the County Guidelines. This is consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(a) which states “For the purpose of this section, “vehicle miles traveled” refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project.” Here, the term “automobile” refers to on-road passenger vehicles, specifically cars and light trucks. Hence the VMT analysis only includes and represents the impacts of automobile travel as a result of the proposed Project using RIVCOM and is not required to include truck trips as a part of the VMT analysis. Nevertheless, a Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared for the Project and is publicly available on the City’s Project website included as Appendix N to the Draft EIR. The comment does not contain any information requiring changes to the Draft EIR. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.32: This comment states that the Draft EIR does not adequately analyze the Projects potential impacts regarding hazards due to a geometric design feature. The comment explains that there are areas of overlap between truck movements and an inadequate depiction of the onsite turning radius for truck moving through the site.

Response O3.32: Building 1 would be accessible via Simpson Road from two driveways for trucks and passenger vehicles, each 40 feet in width, and one 26-foot-wide driveway for passenger vehicles. Internal circulation would be provided by 26-foot to 40-foot drive aisles. Building 2 would be accessible via Simpson Road from a 40-foot-wide driveway for trucks and passenger vehicles and 26-foot-wide driveway for passenger vehicles. Internal circulation would be provided by 26-foot to 70-foot drive aisles. Access to the proposed trailer parking lot beyond Warren Road to the east would be via Simpson Road from a 40-foot driveway. The proposed trailer parking lot would include 70-foot-wide drive aisles. There are no unique bends or obstacles along Simpson Road and Warren Road. The onsite circulation design provides truck accessibility and turning ability throughout the site. Therefore, there is no geometric design feature that would prevent trucks or result in impacts from trucks accessing the site. In addition, the plans provided in the Draft EIR are conceptual plans. Should the Project be approved, design level civil engineering plans would be prepared and reviewed by the City’s engineering staff prior to issuance of construction related permitting to ensure that all applicable turning and access standards are met, which include both California Fire Code and California Building Code requirements, as included in the City’s Municipal Code (Sections14-75 and 14- 40).

Comment O3.33: The comment states that the Draft EIR is deterring analysis by stating that development plans would be reviewed by the Hemet Fire Protection District prior to approval. The comment concludes that the Draft EIR should be revised to include the HFPD determination/review of the Project site.

Response O3.33: Figure 3-7, Proposed Conceptual Site Plan, of the Draft EIR, depicts emergency vehicle access to the site. As detailed in Section 3.0, Project Description, the proposed Project would provide emergency access to the site from six driveways located along Simpson Road. Building 1 would be accessible via Simpson Road from two driveways for trucks and passenger vehicles, each 40 feet in width, and one 26- foot-wide driveway for passenger vehicles. Internal circulation would be provided by 26-foot to 40-foot drive aisles. Building 2 would be accessible via Simpson Road from a 40-foot-wide driveway for trucks and passenger vehicles and 26-foot-wide driveway for passenger vehicles. As detailed in Response O1.32, the proposed onsite conceptual circulation design provides emergency vehicle accessibility and turning ability throughout the site and does not identify potential significant environmental impacts. Should the Project be approved, design level civil engineering plans would be prepared and reviewed by the City’s engineering staff prior to issuance of construction related permitting to ensure that all applicable emergency access

standards are met, which include both California Fire Code and California Building Code requirements, as included in the City’s Municipal Code (Sections 14-75 and 14-40). This is not a deferral of analysis, but the City’s standard development review and permitting process to ensure that all applicable design requirements are met, including emergency access.

Comment O3.34: This comment states that the Project has not provided any analysis of horizontal and vertical sight distance at the intersection of Project driveways and adjacent streets.

Response O3.34: Issues related to horizontal and vertical sight distance are design level civil engineering issues that are to be verified by the City’s engineering division during permitting of development projects and are regulated by the California Fire and Building Codes, which are included in the City’s Municipal Code as detailed previously. As detailed on Figure 3-7, Proposed Conceptual Site Plan, the proposed Project would include a landscape setback of approximately 20 feet along the northern border of the site along Simpson Road, building setbacks of approximately 185 feet from the east and west property lines, a landscape setback of approximately 20 feet along the western property line, and a landscape setback of approximately 5 feet along the southern property line. This proposed conceptual design does not identify potential significant environmental impacts. The City’s traffic engineering division would review and approve plans prior to issuance of construction-related permitting to ensure that all applicable sight distance standards are met. Thus, potential impacts related to geometric designs that involve site distance would not occur.

Comment O3.35: The comment states that the Draft EIR must include a cumulative analysis of the impact of the proposed Project in combination with previous projects since 2016 and projects “in the pipeline” to determine if the Project would result in a cumulative exceedance of employment and population growth forecasts. The comment also states that since there is no known tenant for the proposed buildings, there is no assurance that the new jobs associated with the Project would not require a specialized workforce, and a finding of significance must be made.

Response O3.35: Development assumptions and scenarios presented in the General Plan and its programlevel EIR should not be considered a “cap” on permissible acreage or square footage buildout, but simply serve as a framework upon which future project-level environmental analyses may be based. Cumulative projects are properly included in Table 5-1 of the Draft EIR and accounted for throughout the analysis of the Draft EIR, including the Newland Kirby project. All previously constructed projects (i.e., completed prior to issuance of the 2023 Notice of Preparation for the Draft EIR) are considered part of the environmental baseline and have therefore been accounted for as part of the existing conditions.

Growth-inducing potential of a project would be considered significant if it fosters growth or a concentration of population in excess of what is assumed in master plans, land use plans, or in projections made by regional planning agencies, such as SCAG. According to SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS population and household growth forecast for Hemet, between 2016 and 2045, SCAG anticipates an employment increase of 18,500 additional jobs (from 21,700 to 40,200), yielding a 85% growth rate. SCAG also anticipates a population increase of 42,500 between 2016 and 2045 (from 81,500 to 124,000). The proposed Project would generate the need for approximately 1,158 employees, which represents approximately 2.72% of the forecasted population growth between 2016 and 2045 and approximately 6.26% of the forecasted employment growth between 2016 and 2045 for the City. According to the Employment Development Department, as of August 2023, the City of Hemet’s unemployment rate was approximately 6.3%. As discussed in further detail in Section 5.13, Population and Housing, on Table 5.13-4, the transportation and warehousing and utilities industries account for the third largest employment sector within the City of Hemet.

Additionally, as detailed on Draft EIR page 5.11-21, Building 1 would result in a FAR of 0.47 and Building 2 would result in a FAR of 0.39 which is below the maximum FAR of 0.60 allowed by the Business Park zoning, and related employment projections. Thus, although the Project would generate additional long-term

employment in the Project area, the new employment opportunities would be within the forecasted and planned growth of the City.

Comment O3.36: The comment states that the proposed Project must provide a quantified analysis of the Project’s growth compared to the General Plan’s buildout. The comment requests that a revised EIR include an analysis of buildout of the Project and projects “in the pipeline” and their development intensity to determine if they would exceed the projected buildout scenario.

Response O3.36: This comment is a dupicate of Comment O3.11, please see Response O3.11.

Comment O3.37: The comment states that the Draft EIR must be revised to include a Significant and Unavoidable impact for the removal of the Mixed Use land use designation for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

Response O3.37: This comment is conclusive in nature and does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a new significant environmental impact. Despite the fact that the proposed Project would require a General Plan Amendment, these actions are not considered to be precedent setting actions (defined as any act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations), as they are commonly undertaken on a regular basis by many jurisdictions and relate specifically to a particular Project site. The Project includes a General Plan Amendment to change the site’s Mixed Use designation to Business park; however, a land use designation in and of itself does not constitute a "land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect." It is a designation to provide development standards for projects. Therefore, the Project’s proposed General Plan Amendment does not constitute a conflict with the policies of the General Plan. Significant and unavoidable impacts under the proposed Project are only related to agriculture, noise, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and are disclosed in the Draft EIR. As described previously, the Draft EIR includes an analysis of the buildout of the Project site pursuant to the existing Mixed Use land use designation. As detailed on page 8-21 of the Draft EIR, buildout of the existing Mixed Use land use designation would result in the same impacts to agriculture and would bring more occupants and vehicle trips to the Project site that would result in an increase in air quality emissions, energy, and noise in comparison to the proposed Project.

Comment O3.38: The comment states that a revised Draft EIR must be completed that includes an alternative that evaluate an alternative that meets the Projects objectives and eliminates all the Project’s significant and unavoidable impacts. The comment also states that the Draft EIR must also be revised to provide a quantitative analysis of the alternatives for impacts such as GHG.

Response O3.38: The Draft EIR included a comprehensive analysis of Project Alternatives as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6. The “range of alternatives” to be evaluated is governed by the “rule of reason” and feasibility, which requires the EIR to set forth only those alternatives that are feasible and necessary to permit an informed and reasoned choice by the Lead Agency and to foster meaningful public participation (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(f)). Additionally, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(b) emphasizes that the selection of project alternatives be based primarily on the ability to reduce impacts relative to the proposed project.

As detailed in Draft EIR Section 8.0, Alternatives, the proposed Project is consistent with the current zoning of the site and would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to agriculture, greenhouse gas emissions, noise and transportation. One alternative (Alternate Site Alternative) was considered but rejected due to its infeasibility and lack of ability to meaningfully reduce Project impacts while meeting Project objectives. Instead, a No Project/ No Development Alternative, a Reduced Project alternative, and a No Project/ Buildout of Existing Land Use Alternative. As such, the alternatives utilized by the EIR provide a reasonable range of alternatives pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6.

Newland Simpson Road Project 2.0 Response to Comments
City of Hemet 2-231
Final EIR
April 2025
Draft EIR Page 8-1 states that a pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(d), discussion of each alternative presented in this Draft EIR section is intended “to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis, and comparison with the proposed project.” As permitted by CEQA, the significant effects of each alternative are discussed in less detail than those of the proposed Project, but in enough detail to provide perspective and allow for a reasoned choice among alternatives to the proposed Project. The qualitative analysis provided is sufficient to support the impacts claims.

As shown on Table 8-1, Alternative 2 is expected to generate approximately 479 daily trips, compared to the proposed Projects 2,539. Since trips are calculated based on building square footage, an 81% decrease in building area with the same proposed use would result in an 81% decrease in trips. Given that a majority of GHG emissions are from mobile emissions, it is expected that this reduction would be greatly reduced compared to the proposed Project.

Comment O3.39: This comment states that GSEJA believes the EIR is flawed and must be revised and recirculated for public review. GSEJA also requests to be added to the public interest list for the proposed Project.

Response O3.39: The comment is conclusionary in nature and as stated above GSEJA will be added to the public interest list for the proposed Project. As substantiated by the previous responses above and below, none of the conditions arise which would require recirculation of the Draft EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. Therefore, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.40: This comment states that SWAPE has reviewed the Draft EIR and states that the EIR fails to adequately evaluate the air quality, health risk, and greenhouse gas impacts and suggests that a revised EIR be prepared.

Response O3.40: This comment is introductory in nature and introduces the inadequacies of the Draft EIR that will be further discussed within the comment. Because the comment does not raise any specific concerns with the adequacy of the Draft EIR or raise any other CEQA issue. Thus, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.41: The comment states that since the Project site is located on a site that has historically been used for agricultural purposes, a revised EIR including soil sampling for residual concentrations of pesticides must be included.

Response O3.41: As detailed by the comment, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared for the site did not identify any evidence of excessive pesticide use and concentrations were recorded below regulatory levels and background concentrations. This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. Section 152049(c) of the CEQA Guidelines advises that comments should be accompanied by factual support, stating “[r]eviewers should explain the basis for their comments and should submit data or references offering facts, reasonable assumptions based on facts, or expert opinion supported by facts in support of the comments. Pursuant to Section 15064, an effect shall not be considered significant in the absence of substantial evidence.” Where comments provide no facts or other substantial evidence to support an assertion, or where comments do not explain why the evidence supporting a conclusion in the Draft EIR is not substantial evidence, the Final EIR is not required to alter a significance determination of the Draft EIR. While CEQA permits disagreements of opinion with respect to environmental issues addressed in the EIR (see Section 15151 of the CEQA Guidelines [“disagreement among experts does not make an EIR inadequate… the courts have looked not for perfection but for adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure”].) The Draft EIR for the proposed Project provides an adequate, complete, and good faith effort at full disclosure of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed Project and the conclusions are based upon substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Thus, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.42: This comment states that the CalEEMod default data was changed for modeling of the proposed Project and that CEQA requires such changes be justified by substantial evidence. The comment states that when default values in the program are changed, output files are produced which disclose to the reader which values within the program have been changed.

Response O3.42: The comment is informational in nature and does not raise any specific concerns with the adequacy of the Draft EIR or raise any other specific CEQA issue. It is typical in the modelling method, that default CalEEMod data is revised, so that the modeling accurately depicts construction and/or operation of each proposed Project. No revisions per this comment are required and no further response is warranted..

Comment O3.43: This comment states that CalEEMod provides recommended default values based on sitespecific information and that the user can change the default values and input project-specific values, but CEQA requires that such changes be justified by substantial evidence. The comment states that once all of the values are inputted into the model, the project’s construction and operational emissions are calculated, and “output files” are generated that disclose what parameters are utilized in calculating the project’s air pollutant emissions and make known which default values are changed as well as provide justification for the values selected. The comment claims that CalEEMod version 2022.1 is relied upon to estimate project emissions, which poses a problem as the currently available version of CalEEMod 2022.1 is described as a “soft release” which fails to provide complete output files. Further, the comment states that the “User Changes to Default Data” table no longer provides the quantitative counterparts to the changes to the default values and that previous CalEEMod Versions, such as 2020.4.0, include the specific numeric changes to the model’s default values. The commenter claims that to remedy this issue, the Draft EIR should have provided access to the model’s “.JSON” output files, which allow third parties to review the model’s revised input parameters.

Response O3.43: The commenter is incorrect that CalEEMod 2022.1 is a “soft release.” As indicated in the CalEEMod release notes, CalEEMod version 2022.1 was approved for full launch on 12/21/2022 and the “soft release” message was removed.2 As such, CalEEMod version 2022.1 is appropriate for use and the analysis is adequate as presented.

In addition, as discussed on pages 10 and 11 of the CalEEMod User’s Guide for CalEEMod version 2022.1, CalEEMod was designed to allow the user to change the defaults to reflect site- or project-specific information when available. Thus, modifications to CalEEMod defaults are used when more detailed information is known about a project such as the construction timeline and the mix of equipment use.

Modifications made to the CalEEMod defaults as a part of this Project were done in order to provide an accurate snapshot of the Project’s construction and operational details. Modifications to defaults and the explanations are noted in the output report. Pages 43 of the CalEEMod outputs (Appendix 3.1 of the Air Quality Impact Analysis) identifies the user changes that were made CalEEMod. The “.JSON” files are input files, not output files. As such, all output files were included in Appendix 3.1 of the Air Quality Impact Analysis.

Comment O3.44: The comment states that the comments discovered inconsistencies between the model inputs and the information within the Draft EIR, thus a revised Draft EIR must be prepared to include an updated air quality analysis.

Response O3.44: The comment does not raise any specific concerns with the adequacy of the Draft EIR or raise any other CEQA issue. As discussed throughout these responses and the Air Quality Report and Health Risk Analysis (Appendix C and D of the Draft EIR), the Project was properly modeled and analyzed and the 2 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA).

proposed Project would not result in potentially significant air quality or health risk impacts. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.45: The comment states that since there are no known tenants for the proposed buildings, the modeling should include refrigerated warehouse space, which would result in increased emissions or provide substantial evidence for not including cold storage in the analysis.

Response O3.45: As identified on page 3-33 of Section 3.0, Project Description Draft EIR, the building is not designed to accommodate and would not include any warehouse cold storage or refrigerated uses. As such, cold storage is not included as part of this Project. Additionally, the Project would be conditioned to prohibit future cold storage uses. Should the Project later be modified to propose cold storage, the analysis would be revised under subsequent CEQA evaluation to evaluate the Project change, including air toxic emissions and health impacts from cold storage and TRUs.

Comment O3.46: The comment states that the CalEEMod output files show unsubstantiated changes to the default operational vehicle fleet mix, and they must be revised to show the percentages used to calculate the Project’s operational emissions.

Response O3.46: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. Section 152049(c) of the CEQA Guidelines advises that comments should be accompanied by factual support, stating “[r]eviewers should explain the basis for their comments and should submit data or references offering facts, reasonable assumptions based on facts, or expert opinion supported by facts in support of the comments. Pursuant to Section 15064, an effect shall not be considered significant in the absence of substantial evidence.” Where comments provide no facts or other substantial evidence to support an assertion, or where comments do not explain why the evidence supporting a conclusion in the Draft EIR is not substantial evidence, the Final EIR is not required to alter a significance determination of the Draft EIR. While CEQA permits disagreements of opinion with respect to environmental issues addressed in the EIR (see Section 15151 of the CEQA Guidelines [“disagreement among experts does not make an EIR inadequate . . . the courts have looked not for perfection but for adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure”].) The Draft EIR for the proposed Project provides an adequate, complete, and good faith effort at full disclosure of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and the conclusions are based upon substantial evidence in light of the whole record.

As discussed on page 34 of Appendix 3.2 of the Air Quality Impact Analysis (Appendix B of the Draft EIR), trip generation rates used in CalEEMod for the Project were based on the Project’s VMT Analysis (Appendix O of the Draft EIR), which identifies that the proposed Project would generate approximately 2,539 average daily trips, including 2,087 passenger vehicle trips, 96 two-axle truck trips, 61 three-axle truck trips, 33 four-axle truck trips, and 259 five+-axle truck trips.

Therefore, the modeling is conservative as it increases the percentage of medium duty truck trips from the default 1.73% to 2.5% and increases the percentage of heavy heavy duty (HHD) truck trips from the default of 1.76% to assume 11.50% consistent with the VMT Analysis prepared for the proposed Project. As such, the commenter is incorrect that the modeling included unsubstantiated changes that may underestimate the Project’s mobile source emissions. Therefore, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.47: This comment states that the commenter prepared an updated CalEEMod model, using the Project-specific information provided by the Draft EIR, omitting the changes to operational fleet mixes and states that NOx emissions would increase by approximately 27.4% and exceed the applicable significance threshold resulting in a potentially significant air quality impact that was not previously identified or addressed in the Draft EIR.

Response O3.47: The comment does not raise any specific concerns with the adequacy of the Draft EIR or raise any other issue related to requirements under State CEQA Guidelines. As discussed throughout

responses O3.40 to O3.46, and the Air Quality Report and Health Risk Analysis (Appendix C and D of the Draft EIR), the Project has been properly modeled and analyzed and the analysis has determined that the proposed Project would not result in potentially significant air quality or health risk impacts. The modeling provided by the comment included default operational fleet mix values that are not specific to the proposed Project as determined by the Lead Agency. As these values do not represent the Project, the increased emissions that result from them are also not applicable. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.48: This comment states that the less than significant health risk impact based on the Mobile Health Risk Assessment in Appendix D to the Draft EIR is incorrect based off two reasons.

Response O3.48: The comment is introductory in nature and does not identify the specific issue with the adequacy of the Draft EIR. Because the comment does not express the specific concern or question regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.49: This comment states that the first reason the Health Risk Assessment is flawed is that it relies upon a flawed air model based on the comments mentioned above (in Comment O3.46) and thus should not be relied upon.

Response O3.49: Refer to Response O3.46. As discussed throughout these responses, and the Air Quality Report and Health Risk Analysis (Appendix C and D of the Draft EIR), the Project was properly modeled and analyzed, and the proposed Project would not result in potentially significant air quality or health risk impacts. No further response is warranted.

Comment O3.50: This comment states that the Draft EIR underestimates the exposure assumptions for fraction of time at home.

Response O3.50: As detailed in Section 5.3, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR, the HRA that was completed for the Project provides the appropriate conservative analysis pursuant to SCAQMD, CARB, and OEHHA recommended methodology. Per OEHHA methodology, the HRA included refinements to identify potential effects to smaller human body weights and breathing rates to assess risk to children, which was done as detailed in the methodology provided on page 22 and 23 of the HRA (Appendix D of the Draft EIR). In addition, the HRA provides a conservative analysis by evaluating the closest receptors with the maximum potential emissions and continuous exposure (24-hours per day). Thus, stringent significance thresholds and methodology that is consistent with resource agency direction was utilized in the Draft EIR to determine potential impacts to residents and school children, which determined that impacts would be less than significant, and mitigation is not required. The thresholds utilized were based on the City’s discretion (as Lead Agency) and are supported by substantial evidence from SCAQMD, CARB, and OEHHA.

Comment O3.51: This comment states that the Draft EIR fails to implement all feasible mitigation measures related to the Projects significant and unavoidable impacts related to NOx emissions and provides a list of mitigation measures found in the 2020 SCAG RTP/SCS Program EIR and the Department of Justice that incorporate feasible ways to include lower-emitting design features into the Project.

Response O3.51: As discussed throughout these responses, and the Air Quality Report and Health Risk Analysis (Appendix C and D of the Draft EIR), the Project was properly modeled and analyzed and the proposed Project would not result in significant air quality or health risk impacts with implementation of identified mitigation. Significant and unavoidable impacts related to NOx would not occur. Thus, there is no nexus to provide additional mitigation measures such as limiting the amount of grading surface area to reduce NOx emissions. Thus, no further response is warranted.

Comment O3.52: This comment states that the commenter has received limited discovery regarding the Project, additional information may become available in the future; and the commentor retains the right to revise or amend this report when additional information becomes available.

Final EIR
April 2025

3. Revisions to the Draft EIR
This section contains revisions to the Draft EIR based on: (1) clarifications required to prepare a response to a specific comment; and/or (2) typographical errors. The revisions do not alter any of the significance conclusions that were previously disclosed in the Draft EIR. Changes made to the Draft EIR are identified here in strikeout text to indicate deletions and in bold and double underlined text to indicate additions.

3.1 REVISIONS IN RESPONSE TO WRITTEN COMMENTS AND CITY

CHANGES TO TEXT
The following text, organized by Draft EIR Chapters and Sections, have been revised based on response to comments received on the Draft EIR and corrections identified by the City of Hemet.

Chapter 3.0, Project Description
The second paragraph on page 3-16, in Section 3.0, Project Description, is revised as follows:

The proposed Project would include approximately 483,977 SF (or 11.11 acres) of landscaping that would cover about 24.5-percent of the Project site. Proposed landscaping would include 24-inch box and 15-gallon trees along with various shrubs, and groundcover to screen the proposed buildings, parking, and loading areas from off-site viewpoints. Landscaping would be provided along the perimeter of each building and throughout the parking areas and site boundaries as shown in Figure 3-10, Conceptual Landscape Plan. The Project would also include lighting throughout the parking areas, which would be hooded or oriented away from the property boundaries pursuant to City of Hemet Municipal Code Section 90-1046(e).

The Project would include fencing surrounding proposed buildings and the truck trailer lot, and a six-foothigh concrete screen wall along the western property line.

Chapter 5.1, Aesthetics
The first paragraph on page 5.1-8, in Section 5.1, Aesthetics, is revised as follows:

The Project would develop two industrial warehouse buildings that would be approximately 60-feet tall and would be set back from the adjacent streets so as not to encroach into the existing public long-distance views.

The proposed Project has a minimum landscaped setback of 30-feet along Simpson Road and 20 feet from Warren Road, building setbacks of approximately 185-feet from the east and west property lines, and a landscape setback of approximately 10-feet along the southern property line. The building setbacks would ensure that public views along the nearby roads would not be impacted, and landscaping would ensure that views of the site would be broken up and avoid monotonous views of the large walls of the buildings. In addition, the Project would also install a 12-foot-wide sidewalk on all Project frontages on Warren Road and Simpson Road. The proposed Project’s six-foot-high concrete wall along the western property line would be perpendicular to any public views facing south on Simpson Road and would therefore not interfere with any long-range views. The building height, massing, setbacks, new sidewalks and layered landscaping along Simpson Road and Warren would ensure that public views of the Domenigoni Mountains remain visible to vehicles and pedestrians traveling along Warren Road and Simpson Road, as shown in Figure 5.1-1.

Chapter 5.6, Energy

Prior to tenant occupancy for each building/occupancy, issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for each building/occupancy providing for 250 or more employees, each owner/tenant shall develop a use/occupant-specific transportation demand management (TDM) program. The TDM program shall be submitted to the City Planning Division and City Building & Safety Division for review and approval as part of tenant improvements plan(s) documentation. Recommended California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) TDM program elements are listed below:
• Provide pedestrian and bicycle network improvements within the development connecting to existing offsite facilities. • Where applicable ensure design of key intersections and roadways encourage the use of walking, biking and where applicable transit.
• Commute trip reduction (CTR) programs offered to encourage the use of vanpools, carpooling, public transit, and biking.
• Provide CTR program marketing including information sharing and marketing to promote and educate employees about their travel choices to the employment location. • CTR programs may also provide for alternative work or compressed work schedules to reduce the number of days an employee commutes to work.
• Provision of on-site facilities to provide end of trip services for bicycling such as secure bike parking and storage lockers.

• Provide reserved preferential parking spaces for car-share, carpool, and ultra-low or zero emission vehicles.

Chapter 5.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials

Due to the nature of the required City approvals (i.e., the proposed General Plan Amendment), the City of Hemet is required, pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 21676, to refer the proposed Project to the ALUC for ALUC review. On June 13, 2024, the proposed Project was found to be consistent with the 2017 Hemet-Ryan Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan by RCALUC. The proposed Project would comply with this ALUC notification and all other applicable rules and regulations as they pertain to the Hemet-Ryan Airport and airport safety. Overall, because the proposed Project is not located within compatibility zones A through D of the Hemet-Ryan Land Use Compatibility Plan or the designated Hemet-Ryan Airport noise contours; and it would not result in hazards related to excessive glare, light, steam, smoke, dust, or electronic interference, the proposed Project would not introduce a safety hazard associated with airport operations for people residing, working, and visiting the Project site.

• #1- SR 79/SR 74: Restripe the northbound-left to an exclusive left-turn lane, exclusive thru lane, and exclusive right-turn lane northbound left-thru lane, restripe northbound thru-right lane to exclusive rightturn lane, add right-turn overlap phasing. • #3- SR 79/Domenigoni Parkway: Add right-turn overlap to northbound right, add eastbound thru-lane.

Restrict U-turn on all approaches. Accommodate an additional westbound turn receiving lane by expanding the width of westbound intersection departure section by four feet. • #5- Warren Road/Domenigoni Parkway: Restripe the westbound right-turn lane to a shared thru-right lane.
• #7- Warren Road/Stetson Avenue: Install traffic signal, add northbound, southbound, and eastbound left-turn lane.
o Left-turn lanes are required for safety reasons on the southbound approach, due to the high southbound left-turn volume.

Left-turn lanes are recommended for better intersection operations on the northbound and eastbound approaches.

4. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

4.1 INTRODUCTION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead or public agency that approves or carries out a project for which an Environmental Impact Report has been certified which identifies one or more significant adverse environmental effects and where findings with respect to changes or alterations in the project have been made, to adopt a “…reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Public Resources Code Sections 21081, 21081.6).

A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was prepared to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are successfully implemented for the Newland Simpson Road Project (Project). The City of Hemet (City) is the Lead Agency for the Project and is responsible for implementation of the MMRP. This report describes the MMRP for the Project and identifies the parties that will be responsible for monitoring implementation of the individual mitigation measures in the MMRP.

4.2 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
The MMRP for the Project will be active through all phases of the Project, including design, construction, and operation. The attached table identifies the mitigation program that would be required to be implemented by the City for the Newland Simpson Road Project. The table identifies the Project Design Features (PDFs), Plans, Programs, or Policies (PPPs), and Mitigation Measures (MMs) required by the City to mitigate or avoid significant adverse impacts associated with the implementation of the Project; the timing of implementation; and the responsible party or parties for monitoring compliance.

The MMRP also includes a column that will be used by the compliance monitor (individual responsible for monitoring compliance) to document when implementation of the measure is completed. As the PDFs, PPPs, and Mitigation Measures are completed, the compliance monitor will sign and date the MMRP, indicating that the required actions have been completed.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1: A pre-construction/ clearance burrowing owl survey shall be performed not more than 30 days prior to initial ground disturbance activity to determine presence/absence of the species. A qualified biologist shall survey the Project site and a buffer zone, 500-feet outside the Project limits for burrows that could be used by burrowing owls.

If the burrow is determined to be occupied, the burrow shall be flagged, and a 160-foot diameter buffer shall be established during nonbreeding season or a 250-foot diameter buffer during the breeding season. If burrows onsite are unoccupied, construction may proceed.

If the site survey determines the presence of burrowing owl, mitigation in accordance with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) shall be implemented as follows:
• If burrowing owls are identified as being resident on-site outside the breeding season (September 1 to February 14) they may be relocated to other sites by a permitted biologist (permitted by CDFW), as allowed in the CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (March 2012). • If an active burrow is found during the breeding season, the burrow shall be treated as a nest site and temporary fencing shall be installed at a distance from the active burrow, to be determined by the biologist, to prevent disturbance during grading or construction. Installation and removal of the fencing shall be done with a biological monitor present. • Active relocation and eviction/passive relocation shall require the preservation and maintenance of suitable burrowing owl habitat determined through coordination with the Wildlife Agencies.

qualified biologist(s) within three days of vegetation removal. If active nests are observed, a qualified biologist shall determine appropriate minimum disturbance buffers and other adaptive mitigation techniques (e.g., biological monitoring of active nests during construction-related activities, staggered schedules, etc.) to ensure that impacts to nesting birds are avoided until the nest is no longer active. At a minimum, construction activities shall stay outside of a 200-foot buffer around the active nests. The approved buffer zone shall be marked in the field with construction fencing, within which no vegetation clearing or ground disturbance shall commence until the qualified biologist and Riverside County Environmental Programs Department verify that the nests are no longer occupied, and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests. Once the young have fledged and left the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, normal construction activities may occur.

CULTURAL RESOURCES
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Cultural Resources Monitoring Program. Prior to issuance of grading permits the applicant/developer shall provide evidence to the City of Hemet Planning Division that a qualified professional archeologist meeting the Secretary of Interior’s PQS for Archaeology (as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 CFR Part 61) has been retained to prepare a Cultural Resource Monitoring Program (CRMP) and to conduct monitoring of rough grading activities. The CRMP shall be developed in coordination with the consulting tribe(s) and address the details of all activities and provides procedures that must be followed in order to reduce the impacts to cultural, tribal cultural and historic resources to a level that is less than significant as well as address potential impacts to undiscovered buried archaeological resources associated with this Project. The Archaeologist shall conduct a Cultural Resource Sensitivity Training, in conjunction with the Tribe(s) Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), and/or designated Tribal Representative. The training session shall focus on the archaeological and tribal cultural resources that may be encountered during ground-disturbing activities as well as the procedures to be followed in such an event.

Mitigation Measure PAL-1: Paleontological Monitoring. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall provide a letter to the City, or City designee, from a professional paleontologist, stating that a qualified paleontologist (who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s (SVP, 2020) definition for qualified profession paleontologist) has been retained to provide services for the proposed Project. The paleontologist shall develop a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Plan (PRIMP) to mitigate the potential impacts to unknown buried paleontological resources that may exist onsite. The PRIMP shall be provided to the City for review and approval. The PRIMP shall require that the paleontologist be present at the pre-grading conference to establish procedures for paleontological resource surveillance.

Prior to commencement of grading activities, the City of Hemet Planning Division, or designee, shall verify that all Project grading and construction plans specify the requirements herein related to the PRIMP and the unanticipated discovery of paleontological resources.

The PRIMP shall also require that in areas mapped as late to middle Pleistocene old alluvial fan deposits, monitoringshall be conducted full-time in undisturbed alluvium starting at the surface. In areas mapped as Holocene to late Pleistocene young alluvial valley deposits, monitoring shall be conducted full-time in undisturbed alluvium starting at a depth of five feet below the surface during grading or excavation activities. In the event paleontological resources are encountered, ground disturbing activity within 50 feet of the area shall cease. The paleontologist shall examine the materials encountered, assess the nature and extent of the find, and recommend a course of action to further investigate and protect or recover and salvage those resources that have been encountered pursuant to the guidelines of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP, 2010).

Criteria for discarding specific fossil specimens shall be made explicit in the PRIMP. If the qualified paleontologist determines that impacts to a sample containing significant paleontological resources cannot be avoided by Project construction, then recovery techniques shall be applied. Actions include recovering a sample of the fossiliferous material prior to construction, monitoring construction activities and halting construction if an important fossil needs to be recovered, and/or cleaning, identifying, and cataloging specimens for curation and research purposes. Recovery, salvage, and treatment shall be done at the Applicant’s expense.

• The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed areas within the Project are watered at least three (3) times daily during dry weather.

Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at least three times a day, preferably in the mid-morning, afternoon, and after work is done for the day.
• The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and Project site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less.
137. Plan, Program, or Policy PPP AQ-3: Rule 402. The Project is required to comply with the provisions of South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 402. The Project shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a

7.A.

City of Hemet –Draft Conditions of Approval
Newland Simpson Project

natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. 138. Mitigation Measure BIO-1: A pre-construction/ clearance burrowing owl survey shall be performed not more than 30 days prior to initial ground disturbance activity to determine presence/absence of the species. A qualified biologist shall survey the Project site and a buffer zone, 500-feet outside the Project limits for burrows that could be used by burrowing owls. If the burrow is determined to be occupied, the burrow shall be flagged, and a 160-foot diameter buffer shall be established during nonbreeding season or a 250- foot diameter buffer during the breeding season. If burrows onsite are unoccupied, construction may proceed.

If the site survey determines the presence of burrowing owl, mitigation in accordance with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) shall be implemented as follows:
• If burrowing owls are identified as being resident on-site outside the breeding season (September 1 to February 14) they may be relocated to other sites by a permitted biologist (permitted by CDFW), as allowed in the CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (March 2012).
• If an active burrow is found during the breeding season, the burrow shall be treated as a nest site and temporary fencing shall be installed at a distance from the active burrow, to be determined by the biologist, to prevent disturbance during grading or construction. Installation and removal of the fencing shall be done with a biological monitor present.
• Active relocation and eviction/passive relocation shall require the preservation and maintenance of suitable burrowing owl habitat determined through coordination with the Wildlife Agencies.
139. Mitigation Measure BIO-2: Nesting Bird Survey. Vegetation removal should occur outside of the nesting bird season (generally between February 1 and August 31). If vegetation removal is required during the nesting bird season, the applicant shall conduct take avoidance surveys for nesting birds prior to initiating vegetation removal/clearing. Surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist(s) within three days of vegetation removal. If active nests are observed, a qualified biologist shall determine appropriate minimum disturbance buffers and other adaptive mitigation techniques (e.g., biological monitoring of active nests during construction-related activities, staggered schedules, etc.) to ensure that impacts to nesting birds are avoided until the nest is no longer active. At a minimum, construction activities shall stay outside of a 200-foot buffer around the active nests. The approved buffer zone shall be marked in the field with construction fencing, within which no vegetation clearing or ground disturbance shall commence until the qualified biologist and Riverside County Environmental Programs Department verify that the nests are no longer occupied, and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests. Once the young have fledged and left the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, normal construction activities may occur.

Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall provide a letter to the City, or City designee, from a professional paleontologist, stating that a qualified paleontologist (who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s (SVP, 2020) definition for qualified profession paleontologist) has been retained to provide services for the proposed Project. The paleontologist shall develop a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Plan (PRIMP) to mitigate the potential impacts to unknown buried paleontological resources that may exist onsite. The PRIMP shall be provided to the City for review and approval.

The PRIMP shall require that the paleontologist be present at the pre-grading conference to establish procedures for paleontological resource surveillance. Prior to commencement of grading activities, the City of Hemet Planning Division, or designee, shall verify that all Project grading and construction plans specify the requirements herein related to the PRIMP and the unanticipated discovery of paleontological resources.

The PRIMP shall also require that in areas mapped as late to middle Pleistocene old alluvial fan deposits, monitoring shall be conducted full-time in undisturbed alluvium starting at the surface. In areas mapped as Holocene to late Pleistocene young alluvial valley deposits, monitoring shall be conducted full-time in undisturbed alluvium starting at a depth of five feet below the surface during grading or excavation activities. In the event paleontological resources are encountered, ground disturbing activity within 50 feet of the area shall cease. The paleontologist shall examine the materials encountered, assess the nature and extent of the find, and recommend a course of action to further investigate and protect or recover and salvage those resources that have been encountered pursuant to the guidelines of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP, 2010).

Criteria for discarding specific fossil specimens shall be made explicit in the PRIMP. If the qualified paleontologist determines that impacts to a sample containing significant paleontological resources cannot be avoided by Project construction, then recovery techniques shall be applied. Actions include recovering a sample of the fossiliferous material prior to construction, monitoring construction activities and halting construction if an important fossil needs to be recovered, and/or cleaning, identifying, and cataloging specimens for curation and research purposes. Recovery, salvage, and treatment shall be done at the Applicant’s expense. All recovered and salvaged resources shall be prepared to the point of identification and permanent preservation by the paleontologist.

Resources shall be identified and curated into an established accredited professional repository. The paleontologist shall have a repository agreement in hand prior to initiating recovery of the resource. If no institution accepts the fossil(s), they shall be donated to a local school in the area for educational purposes. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be filed at the repository and/or school. A report documenting the results of the monitoring, including any salvage activities and the significance of any fossils, shall be prepared and submitted to the City, or City designee.

Mitigation Measure BIO-2: A pre-construction/ clearance burrowing owl survey shall be performed not more than 30 days prior to initial ground disturbance activity to determine presence/absence of the species. A qualified biologist will survey the Project site and a

7.A.

City of Hemet –Draft Conditions of Approval
Newland Simpson Project

buffer zone, 500-feet outside the project limits for burrows that could be used by burrowing owls. If the burrow is determined to be occupied, the burrow will be flagged, and a 160-foot diameter buffer will be established during nonbreeding season or a 250- foot diameter buffer during the breeding season. If burrows onsite are unoccupied, construction may proceed.

If the site survey determines the presence of burrowing owl, mitigation in accordance with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife CDFW shall be implemented as follows:
a. If burrowing owls are identified as being resident on-site outside the breeding season (September 1 to February 14) they may be relocated to other sites by a permitted biologist (permitted by CDFW), as allowed in the CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (March 2012).
b. If an active burrow is found during the breeding season, the burrow shall be treated as a nest site and temporary fencing shall be installed at a distance from the active burrow, to be determined by the biologist, to prevent disturbance during grading or construction. Installation and removal of the fencing shall be done with a biological monitor present.
c. Active relocation and eviction/passive relocation require the preservation and maintenance of suitable burrowing owl habitat determined through coordination with the Wildlife Agencies.
175. Mitigation Measure BIO-3: Vegetation removal activities shall be conducted outside the nesting season (September 1 to February 14 for songbirds; September 1 to January 14 for raptors) to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds. Any construction activities that occur during the nesting season (February 15 to August 31 for songbirds; January 15 to August 31 for raptors) will require that all suitable habitats be thoroughly surveyed for the presence of nesting birds by a qualified biologist within three days before commencement of vegetation clearing/ground disturbance activities. If any active nests are detected a buffer of 500 feet of an active listed species or raptor nest, 300 feet of other sensitive bird nests (non-listed), and 100 feet of most common songbird nests will be delineated, flagged, and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete. The buffer may be modified and/or other recommendations proposed as determined appropriate by the biological monitor to minimize impacts.
176. Mitigation Measure PAL-1: Paleontological Monitoring. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall provide a letter to the City, or City designee, from a professional paleontologist, stating that a qualified paleontologist (who meets the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s (SVP, 2020) definition for qualified profession paleontologist) has been retained to provide services for the proposed Project. The paleontologist shall develop a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Plan (PRIMP) to mitigate the potential impacts to unknown buried paleontological resources that may exist onsite. The PRIMP shall be provided to the City for review and approval.

The PRIMP shall require that the paleontologist be present at the pre-grading conference to establish procedures for paleontological resource surveillance. Prior to commencement of grading activities, the City of Hemet Planning Division, or designee,

7.A.

The report and inventory, when submitted to the City of Hemet Planning Division, shall signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to paleontological resources. 177. Mitigation Measure NOI-1: The City shall require future developments to implement the following measures to reduce the potential for human annoyance and architectural/structural damage resulting from elevated groundborne noise and vibration levels.
a. Pile driving within a 50-foot radius of historic structures shall utilize alternative installation methods where possible (e.g., pile cushioning, jetting, predrilling, cast-in-place systems, resonance-free vibratory pile drivers). b. The preexisting condition of all designated historic buildings within a 50- foot radius of proposed construction activities shall be evaluated during a preconstruction survey. The preconstruction survey shall determine conditions that exist before construction begins for use in evaluating damage caused by construction activities. Fixtures and finishes within a 50-foot radius of

7.A.

City of Hemet –Draft Conditions of Approval

construction activities susceptible to damage shall be documented (photographically and in writing) prior to construction. All damage shall be repaired back to its preexisting condition.
c. Vibration monitoring shall be conducted prior to and during pile driving operations occurring within 100 feet of the historic structures. Every attempt shall be made to limit construction-generated vibration levels in accordance with Caltrans recommendations during pile driving and impact activities in the vicinity of the historic structures.

Status: Satisfied through the project-specific Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis prepared October 2022 by LSA (LSA 2022) and included as Appendix I which determined that while pile driving is not proposed within 50 feet of a historic structure, as a condition of approval, construction of the proposed Project would not use large bulldozers or loaded heavy trucks within 30 feet of surrounding residential uses. Based on information from the manufacturer Caterpillar, a large bulldozer is a D9 and larger (53 tons or more). With the operation of smaller bulldozers within 35 feet of surrounding structures, vibration levels are expected to be less than 0.04 in/sec RMS.
