Section 4. California Environmental Quality Act Findings . The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley make s the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Project:
(a) Pursuant California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code § 21000 et seq.) and Section 15162 of the State Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15000 et seq.), City staff has considered the potential environmental impacts of the Project.
On September 7, 2017, the Jurupa Valley City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-14 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025, for the Jurupa Valley General Plan. City staff reviewed the FEIR for the Jurupa Valley General Plan, including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein, and prepared a Previous Environmental Document Review Determination in accordance with CEQA for the Project. Based on that review, the City of Jurupa Valley Planning Department has determined that the Project and the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken do not involve substantial changes which will result in new significant environmental effects, and that the Project does not involve new information of substantial importance which shows that the Project will have significant effe cts not discussed in the F EIR. All potential environmental i mpacts associated with the Project are adequately addressed by the FEIR, and the mitigation measures contained in the FEIR will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. (b) The City Council has independently reviewed the Previous Environm ental Document Review Determination, and based upon the whole record before it, the Previous Environmental Document Review Determination, and its independent review and judgment, finds that that the Project is not subject to further environmental review pu rsuant to the Guidelines because:
1) The Project and the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken do not involve substantial changes which will result in new significant environmental effects, and that the Project does not involve new information of substantial importance which shows that the Project will have significant effects not discussed in the FEIR; and 2) All potential environmental impacts associated with the Project are adequately addressed by the FEIR, and the mitigation measures contained in the FEIR will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. (c) The custodian of records for the FEIR, and all other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council determination is based, is the Community
-4-
Development Department of the City of Jurupa Valley. Those documents are available for public review in the Community Development Department located at 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, California 92509.
Section 5. Findings for Approval of Change of Zone. The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley hereby finds and determines that Change of Zone No. 23003 should be adopted because Change of Zone No. 23003 is consistent with the City of Jurupa Valley General Plan in that the site is zoned I-P (Industrial Park) and has a land use designation of Business Park. Change of Zone No. 23003 will change the zoning of the site to B-P (Business Park) to provide consistency between the General Plan Map and zoning designation.
Section 6. Approval of Change of Zone. Based on the for egoing, the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley hereby:
1) Approves Change of Zone No. 23003 (CZ23003) consisting of 3.86 acres located near the northwest intersection of Bellegrave Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard and west of the Bain Drainage Channel (APNs 156-370-001, -002, -003, -004, -005, -006, -008,-009, -010, -011, -014, -015) from I-P (Industrial Park) to B -P (Business Park) as depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto; and

RECO
MMENDATION
That
the City Council approve the purchase of two used, all -wheel drive vehicles, for an amount not to exceed $80,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Santa Ana River Encampment Resolution Grant (SAR), and authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase agreements and other related documents on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the County of Riverside held a request for proposals to address homelessness in the Santa Ana River bed. City Staff met with Path of Life Ministries (POL) and put forth a proposal to address the urgent need in and around the Santa Ana R iver in the City of Jurupa Valley. The City of Jurupa Valley was the main recipient with POL as the sub- recipient. The grant was awarded to the City in the amount of $485,892 for outreach for the unsheltered specifically in the Santa Ana River.
With this grant funding, POL is configuring two outreach teams that will be layered with a seasoned outreach navigator, a mental health/peer specialist and a housing locator specialist.
a. A seasoned navigator has experience in the intake processes, available services, existing relationships with providers and is acclimated to the reality of street outreach.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
b. A mental health/ peer specialist brings advocacy and support that is client - centered. The mental health/peer specialist is understanding and is versed in the recovery process and individual stories.
c. A housing locator will specialize in housing services necessary to this outreach work.
ANALYSIS
A component of this grant is the purchase of two vehicles for the new outreach teams.
The Santa Ana River area is a rough terrain and requires all-wheel drive and the vehicles need space to accommodate up to three people. As part of the approved budget for the SAR grant, POL is permitted to purchase two mid-sized SUV vehicles. As a smaller non- profit with limited purchasing capacity , they are requesting that the City purchase these vehicles on their behalf. The funding used to purchase the vehicles is fully reimbursable from the County of Riverside.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact as a result of this action. The purchase of these vehicles will be reimbursed from Riverside County through the Santa Ana River Encampment Resolution Grant.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve the Agreement by and between the City of Jurupa Valley and Path of Life Ministries , Inc. for Administration of the Crisis Stabilization Units.
2. Provide alternate direction to Staff.

BACKGROUND
Government Code section 65358(b) states that “Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (c) or (d), no mandatory element of a general plan shall be amended more frequently than four times during any calendar year. Subject to that limitation, an amendment may be made at any time, as determined by the legislative body. Each amendment may include more than one change to the general plan.” Due to the amount of project applications and advance planning efforts the City has undertaken that would require General Plan Amendments, the Community Development Department is “batching” or “grouping” multiple amendments to comply with the limitation set forth in Government Coe section 65358(b).
OVERVIEW OF PROCESS
Each batch of General Plan Amendment projects are included in a single agenda item for City Council consideration. Each individual project is a sub-item in a single agenda item and will be presented to the City Council individually. There is allotted time for discussion and public participation for each individual project. The City Council will take a preliminary action/vote at the conclusion of each individual project. After all the projects are heard, the City Council will take a final action for the individual projects. The final decision on the General Plan Amendments is contained in one resolution included as Attachment 4.
SUMMARY OF PROJECTS
For this agenda item, there are three projects that include a General Plan Amendment.
This section provides a brief summary introducing the projects. Each of the project’s staff reports are attached.
A. MA20219 Proposed Mini -Storage Facility (Van Buren Blvd. & Clay St.). The applicant, Platinum Storage Group, is proposing a mini -storage facility on 4.73 acres of vacant land (APN: 163 -400-046) located on the east side of Van Buren Blvd. and north of Clay St. It is proposed adjacent to an existing mini-storage facility on Clay St. The applications include a General Plan Amendment, Change of Zone, Site Development Permit, and a Setback Adjustment. The recommendation is to approve the entitlements to construct the mini -storage facility. The staff report is Attachment 1.
B. Shopping Center at Van Buren Blvd. & Jurupa Rd. An existing shopping center, located on east of Van Buren Blvd, north of Jurupa Road, and west of Felspar St, has a General Plan land use designation of Business Park and a zoning classification of Manufacturing -Service Commercial. These designations were inherited from the County upon incorporation. As part of the City’s efforts to encourage economic development and resolve inconsistency, the recommendation is to adopt a Commercial Retail designation and C -P-S zone. The staff report is Attachment 2.
C. Amendments to Implement the 6 th Cycle Housing Element. The City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element on December 2, 2021 for the 8-year period of 2021 through 2029. The Housing Element was subsequently certified by the

BACKGROUND
Project Site . The site , see Exhibit B, was previously disturbed and used as the Robertson’s Ready Mix concrete batch facility from the mid -1970’s until the late 2000’s when the use was vacated. Although there is no evidence of any prior structures constructed on the site, historic aerial photo s show that the entire site was graded and stockpiled with sand, gravel, and concrete batch implements. The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment prepared for the project (“Phase 1 ESA – Jurupa Self-Storage” prepared by Lilburn Corporation, March 2020) states that no Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC’s) are present, which includes no evidence of the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products on the property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum projects in to the ground, groundwater, or surface of the property.
Page | 3
Planning Commission’s Recommendation . On February 8, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of MA No. 2 0219 (this project) to the City Council by a vote of 4-0. In their deliberations, the Planning Commission recommended that the Applicant continue to work with the City to improve the architectural detailing for the building facing Van Buren Boulevard. This building must be designed to be more consistent with the Pedley Town Center historic them e.
Additionally, the Commission made minor revisions to two of the Engineering conditions of approval, at the request of the Applicant.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant, Platinum Storage Group, is seeking approval for a new self-storage facility on 4.73 acres of vacant land. The project includes the construction of approximately 98,157 square feet of new self-storage buildings (four 1 -story buildings, one 2 -story building, including a manager ’s office), six customer parking spaces, and perimeter landscaping and fencing improvements. A General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Business Park to Light Industrial, and a corresponding Change of Zone from M-H (Manufacturing – Heavy) to I-P (Industrial Park) is proposed. A setback adjustment is needed to reduce the required 50-foot rear yard setback from 50 feet to 23 feet along the rear property boundary (adjacent to the Railroad). And, a Site Development Permit is required to allow a self -storage facility in the IP zone (§9.145.020(A)1(g)viii).
See Exhibit A for a site plan of the proposal.
EXHIBIT A – PLATINUM STORAGE SITE PLAN
There will be five self-storage buildings with a total of 763 individual storage units ranging in size from 25 square feet to 300 square feet. The predominant units consist of the 50 square foot and 100 square foot units. One of the internal buildings will have a two-story N
Page | 4
portion, and the remainder buildings are all one-story buildings. The public entrance into the facility would be from Clay Street where a manager’s office will be open during normal business hours. A parking lot with six parking spaces is proposed in front of the manager’s office. There will be two gated entries into the storage unit buildings from the front parking lot, as shown in the blow-up exhibit below:
The proposed project would require the following entitlements and plan:
1. General Plan Amendment: To amend the land use designation of the project site from Business Park to Light Industrial.
2. Change of Zone : Change the zoning from M -H (Manufacturing -Heavy) to I -P (Industrial Park).
3. Setback Adjustment: To reduce the required rear yard setback from 50 feet to a range of 23 - 35 feet.
4. Site Development Permit: To authorize the development of a 98,157 square foot self-storage facility in the I-P zone.
PROJECT LOCATION AND SURROUNDING AREA
The property is located on the east side of Van Buren Boulevard, and north of Clay Street.
Surrounding land uses include the Union Pacific Railroad and vacant land to the north, a mini-storage facility and restaurant buildings to the south (old Sizzler’s Restaurant, In-n- Out Burger), Riverside County Animal Shelter to the west/southwest across Van Buren Boulevard, light industrial /business park uses to the east, and vacant heavy industrial / vacant land to the south across Cl ay Street. Nearby projects include the “Appaloosa Springs” residential development (under construction), “Rexco Townhomes” site, and the “General Drive Industrial Park ” site. Existing buildings in the immediate vicinity include the “De -Anza Self -Storage” facility, former “Sizzler” building, “In -N-Out” burger, See Exhibit B for site location with surrounding projects.

ANALYSIS
I. GENERAL PLAN. The project, as proposed, is consistent with the General Plan.
Light Industrial Land Use Designation . The proposed Light Industrial land use designation allows for industrial, service -commercial, research and development, assembly and light manufacturing, repair facilities, and supporting retail uses.
The General Plan ’s Light Industrial land use designation allows a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.25 – 0.60 and the proposed project has an FAR of 0.47. Some of the other applicable General Plan policies, and the project’s consistency with these policies, are listed below.
LU 3.12 Industrial and Business Park Development. Accommodate the continuation of existing and the development of new industrial, manufacturing, research and development, and professional offices in areas designated by the General Plan, spe cific plans, community and town center plans.
Project: The project represents the addition of a new mini -storage facility with manager ’s office, adjacent to an existing mini - storage facility to the south and an industrial park use to the east. The proje ct would allow for construction of a new mini -storage facility with street improvements for Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street, and a public entrance and public parking accessed from Clay Street.
LU 3.14 Encroachment. Protect industrial and business park designated areas from encroachment by incompatible or noise-sensitive uses that could be impacted by industrial activity, such as housing and schools.
Project: The proposed project site is abutting the Union Pacific Railroad along the northern property boundary, which forms a physical barrier to future residential uses to the north, and the site is surrounded to the east, south, and west by commercial and industrial uses that would not introduce noise-sensitive uses.
LU 3.17 Toxic Materials. Prohibit the development of industrial and business park uses that use, store, produce, or transport toxic substances, or that generate unacceptable levels of noise or air pollution.
Project: The proposed project does not introduce the storage, production, or transport of any toxic substances. The mini - storage facility is for storage of household personal items only and there will be no storage of hazardous materials allowed, as regulated by the owner’s rules for mini -storage and the City ’s Fire Departmen t for this type of building occupancy.
Page | 7
LU 3.18 Infrastructure. Require that new industrial and business park developers provide adequate parking, transportation facilities, including sidewalks and trails, street trees, water resources, sewer facilities, an d other utilities to serve new industrial and business park businesses in addition to meeting the needs of existing residents and businesses.
Project: The proposed project will bring substantial street improvements along Van Buren Boulevard north of Clay Street where there are existing blighted conditions, and does not introduce the storage, production, or transport of any toxic substances. The mini- storage facility is for storage of household personal items only and there will be no storage of hazardous materials allowed.
Pedley Town Center Overlay
The site is located on the southern boundary of the General Plan ’s “Pedley Town Center Overlay.” The Pedley Town Center Overlay includes the location of City Hall and the Jurupa Valley/Pedley train station. The goals and objectives are to preserve the City ’s h istorical heritage and establish a Downtown environment that attracts locals to shop, dine and socialize. A Town Center plan for Pedley Town Center will be developed over the next 9 to 12 months, in anticipation of creating a development guide for a cohesi ve center that will anchor the City and help solidify its internal identity with its citizens.
The vicinity of the project site is a gateway into the Pedley Town Center, and could include future special monumentation on street medians, wayfinding signage, decorative lighting, or similar amenities as part of future capital projects for Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street. The project will provide new street improvements that will enhance the public realm, and the new storage buildings facing the streets will have attractive architectural treatments that are compatible with the adjoining structures and uses, creating a cohesive gateway entrance into the City’s Downtown area. A recommended condition of approval to enhance the architectural elevations for Bui lding A, facing Van Buren Boulevard, is included in the resolution. The condition would require the incorporation of additional tower elements with standing seam metal roofing, faux wood brackets and exposed rafter tails, for improved compatibility with the architecture of the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter building located on the west side of Van Buren Boulevard.
II. ZONING CODE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. The project
complies with all development standards of the I -P (Industrial Park) zoning district, and Section 9.240.470 of the Zoning Code as shown in Table 2 below.

Setback Adjustment. The applicant has requested a Setback Adjustment (SBA) to reduce the minimum 50 -foot setback required along the rear (north) property line, to 23 - 35 feet, as shown in Exhibit C.
The Zoning Code requires a 50 -foot rear setback in the I-P zone when adjacent to a “residential” zone. The Railroad property is currently zoned R-R (Rural Residential), triggering this requirement. The subject site has an irregular shape and a sloping terrain in the rear. Additionally, the railroad property cannot be used for residential uses, and any future residential uses north of the railroad will have a substantial separation from the mini-storage buildings. Strict application of the 50-foot setback would reduce the buildable area on the site to an un reasonably small
Page | 10
area on the site. For these reasons, findings for approval of the SBA are made and included in the attached Resolution.
EXHIBIT C. SETBACK ADJUSTMENT
III. PROJECT DESIGN.
a. Site Design. The property has an irregular shape (“dumbbell shape”) and has street frontages on Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street. Accordingly, the site envelopes the side and rear lot lines of an existing mini -storage facility that fronts on Clay Street. There is an existing abandoned restaurant build ing, former Sizzler’s, at the northeast corner of Clay Street and Van Buren Boulevard that is south of the project along Van Buren Boulevard. The proposed site plan shows the main entry drive at Clay Street, giving public access to six parking spaces and t he manager’s office. Behind the public parking, there are two tubular steel security gates that give access to the storage buildings. An EVO (emergency vehicle only) driveway is proposed on the Van Buren Boulevard frontage.
Future residents in the “Appaloosa” development by D.R. Horton, to the north, would have a view to the south of the perimeter decorative masonry wall on the south side of the railroad. The storage buildings would be largely screened from view to the residents, except for two story wi ndows which would have a view of the top portion of the storage buildings.

b. Architecture & Floor Plans. The proposed architecture for the new buildings is a contemporary industrial design with a parapet wall system and flat roofs, with gable -roof tower elements. The exterior walls use a combination of painted (gray) split -face masonry walls and ribbed metal panels with horizontal and vertical ribbed patterns. The metal panels would have a gray and natural patina finish color. The manager’s office would have aluminum-framed storefront glazing and a metal awning on two sides of the building facing, visible to Clay Street. The floor plans show a total of 763 individual storage units ranging in size from 25 square feet to 300 square feet. The predominant units consist of the 50 square foot and 100 square foot units. Building A would be enhanced in accordance to a recommended condition of approval.

c. Landscaping. The Conceptual Landscape Plan shows perimeter landscaping along all street frontages, in the rear yard setback area, and at the customer parking area near Clay Street. The plant palette includes 24 -inch box shade trees including “Coast Live Oak,” and “California Sycamore” trees. Accent trees include “Crape Myrtle” and “Eastern Redbud” trees. Additionally, there are eight (8) water-efficient shrub species with a variety of color including “Blue Hibiscus”, “Red Tiger Paw”, “Texas Ranger”, “Dwarf Callistemon”, “Fortnight Lily”, two trailing shrubs including “New Gold Lantana” and “Creeping Myoporum”, on e “Agave” succulent plant, and perennial grasses/sedge species including “Regal Mist” “Autumn Moor Grass”, “California Gray Rush” and “Clustered Sledge”.
Staff has included a condition of approval requiring all street trees to be 36-inch box trees, decora tive up -lights on entrance trees, and decorative pavers at entrances.
d. Public Right -of-Way Improvements. The project would be conditioned to BUILDING E – NORTH ELEVATION (facing Railroad)
BUILDING A – SOUTH ELEVATION-Part 1 (Facing Van Buren Blvd.) BUILDING A – SOUTH ELEVATION-Part 2 (Facing Van Buren Blvd.) *
Page | 13
improve the public right -of-way along both street frontages to include new curb/gutter sidewalks (where missing), ADA ramps, street lights, and perimeter landscaping. There is a recommended condition of approval requiring all street trees to be 36-inch box trees.
• Van Buren Boulevard. Van Buren Boulevard along the project’s frontage is currently substandard in dimension and design. This project is conditioned to improve Van Buren Boulevard to an 80-foot, half-street, Expressway Corridor with 6 lanes of traffic and landscaped median, six- foot sidewalk and 19 -foot landscaped parkway, per the City’s General Plan. This proje ct would provide connecting roadway, new curb/gutter/sidewalk, street lights, and parkway landscaping improvements. A landscaped setback of 61.5 feet, measured from back of sidewalk to the buildings/perimeter fence will be installed along Van Buren Street. The northerly portion of the site’s frontage on Van Buren Boulevard would be improved with a pavement transition from new 6 - lane improvements to the existing 4-lanes.
• Clay Street. The street along the project’s frontage would be improved as a Major Roadway, per the City’s General Plan, with an ultimate half right-of-way width of 59 feet. New road and parkway improvements including a 32-ft paved section from edge of raised median to curb, and a 27-ft landscaped parkway with 6-ft sidewalk. A landscaped setback of 45 feet, measured from back of sidewalk to the buildings/perimeter fence will be installed along Clay Street.
e. Operations. The self-storage facility offers the convenience of key -code entry for customers who rent a storage unit. Each renter is responsible for providing their own lock for their unit. The manager’s office will operate between the hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Saturday, with two on-site employees.
The security gates can be opened by customers to access their storage unit only between the hours of 5:00 am to 9:00 pm daily. No late -evening hour use (between 9:00 pm and 5:00 am) of storage units is allowed and security gate keys will be disabled during these times . Additionally, there will be 24 -hour recorded video sur veillance and outdoor wall pack lighting facing the internal driveways on all buildings.
IV. Interagency Review. The project was circulated for Interagency Review. This included reviews by other City departments, service providers (County Fire Department, Riverside County Sheriff Department, Jurupa Unified School District, etc.) and utility companies, allowing each entity the opportunity to review the proposal and determine the impacts of the development relative to their services. The project was also reviewed and approved by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission on October 13, 2022 with recommended conditions of approval. Comments from these agencies have been considered and incorporated as modifications and/or conditions to this project.
V. TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. The landowners are eager to start construction as soon as entitlements and construction drawings are approved
Page | 14
and in effect. If approved, the project is tentatively scheduled for commencement of construction in late fall 2023, with an expected 12 to 15 months of construction, and completion on or about December 2024.
VI. WATER UTILITY AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. The Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) would provide water service to the project site. The JCSD issued an initial water and sewer availability letter dated August 10, 2020.
Additionally, the District provided fire flow calculations on October 13, 2022 based on the existing infrastructure modeling, to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal’s Office. The hydraulic analysis for the fire flow test was performed using JCSD’s water modeling software which simulated the existing fire hydrant located about 60 feet south of the subject site, on Clay Street. The analysis indicated that the water system could provide at least 2,875 GPM for 2 hours at a minimum of 20 psi, as required by the Fire Marshal’s office.
The Project’s proposed drainage improvements include a series of storm drains and pipes with bioretention basins, for water quality and stormwater basin located at the southwest and southeast corners of the site. Storm water conveyance would be through the storm drain system to the bioretention basins with high flows conveyed to an existing storm drain and system located within the Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street right-of-ways. The eastern portion of the property drains to Clay Street via a proposed 18-inch storm drain, while the western portion of the site drains to an existing 48 -inch corrugated metal pipe.
Each of these outlets has mechanical filters installed to mitigate for water quality.
VII. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANTING OF A SETBACK ADJUSTMENT. A setback adjustment shall not be granted unless all of the following items are determined in the affirmative:
(a) That the adjustment is consistent with the intent and purposes of the Zoning Code;
(b) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including such factors as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that justify the approval of the adjustment of the setback requirement; and, (c) That the adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community or be detrimental to property in the vicinity of the parcel for which the adjustment is requested.
The Zoning Code requires a 50-foot rear yard setback because the site abuts the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) which is zoned R -R (Rural Residential). The B - P Zone is intended to provide for research and development, light manufacturing, business sales and services and other business -supporting commercial uses.
Accordingly, this adjustment would allow a new mini -storage facility which is a service use for community. The proposed buildings within 23 to 35 feet of the railroad right-of-way are consistent with the intent and purpose statements of the I-P zone, and not i n conflict with the intended separation between residential uses and business park uses because no residential uses can be developed on the railroad.
Page | 15
The site has an irregular shape (“dumbbell”) with sloping topography towards the street. The central portion of the site is too narrow to accommodate any buildings.
Additionally, the site fronts on two major streets which require substantial street dedications. There is a need for flexibility in the 50 -foot rear yard setback requirement for any development on the subject site because strict application of the Code would reduce building size to an unreasonably small portion on the site.
The adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community or be detrimental to pr operty in the vicinity of the parcel for which the adjustment is requested. The proposed development site is adjacent to an existing mini-storage facility and abuts a railroad on the rear. The project will be designed to comply with all current building and fire codes making it safe for the public. The project will include solid masonry walls and buildings along the perimeter of the site with adequate exterior lighting making it a secure place of business for the public.
VIII. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVAL O F A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (SDP). A site development permit shall not be granted unless the project complies with the following standards:
(a) The proposed use must conform to all the requirements of the Jurupa Valley General Plan and with all applicable re quirements of state law and the ordinances of the city.
(b) The overall development of the land shall be designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; to conform to the logical development of the land; and to be compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. The plan shall consider the location and need for dedication and improvement of necessary streets and sidewalks, including the avoidance of traffic congestion; and shall take into acco unt topographical and drainage conditions, including the need for dedication and improvements of necessary structures as a part thereof.
(c) All site development permits which permit the construction of more than one structure on a single legally divided parce l shall, in addition to all other requirements, be subject to a condition which prohibits the sale of any existing or subsequently constructed structures on the parcel until the parcel is divided and a final map recorded in accordance with Title 7 in such a manner that each building is located on a separate legally divided parcel.
As explained above in this staff report, the proposed mini-storage facility project is consistent with the policies and objectives of the City’s General Plan, based in part on the proposed General Plan Amendment from a Business Park to a Light Industrial land use designation. The site plan shows compliance with all zoning ordinance regulations with a Setback Adjustment.
The proposed development of the land is designed for the pro tection of the public health, safety and general welfare, in that the site will have new buildings
Page | 16
that conform to the latest building and fire codes. There will be solid masonry walls and new storage buildings erected around the perimeter of the site with adequate exterior lighting, making it a secure and safe place of business for the public.
The project conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. The site is irregular in shape and abuts the UPRR on the north. There is an existing mini-storage facility that abuts the subject site on two sides of the site. Based on these circumstances, the proposed use of a mini -storage facility, having its main entry from Clay Street represents a logical and compatible use for the vicinity.
The subject site is proposed on a single parcel of land and there is no intention by the owners to subdivide or sell the property. The owners intend to own and operate the facility.
IX. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is supported by an Initial Study that evaluated potential effects with respect to Aesthetics, Agriculture Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Ge ology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilit ies and Service Systems, and Wildfire. The proposed MND determines that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been required or revisions in the Project have been made or agreed to by the Applicant.
Public Review Period. The public review period started on December 7, 2022 and ended on December 27, 2022. The Mitigated Negative Declaratio n was published on December 7, 2022 and is available for review at City Hall and on the City’s website. There were no comment letters received from any agencies or interested parties during the public review.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Public hearing notices were sent to surrounding property owners within 1,000 feet from the boundaries of the project site . Additionally, legal advertisements were published in the Press Enterprise on Sunday, April 23, 2023. No comments have been received at the time of this report.

4 1.0 Finding
Based on this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed use COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be recommended for adoption.
I find that although the proposal could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the Project have been made by or agreed to by the Project Applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be recommended for adoption.
I find that the proposal MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposal MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets if the effect is a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated.” An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effect (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, pursuant to all applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures are imposed upon the proposed Project, nothing further is required.

5 2.0 Introduction
2.1-Purpose of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that for a project that is not exempt from CEQA, that a preliminary analysis of the proposed project be conducted to determine whether a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared for the project. This preliminary analysis is called an “Initial Study”.
Based on the Initial Study prepared for this Project, the City of Jurupa Valley Planning Department is recommending that a Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted for this Project by the City Council. A Mitigated negative Declaration is a written statement by the City that the Initial Study identified potentially significant environmental effects of the Project, but the Project is revised or mitigation measures are required to eliminate or mitigate impacts to less than significant levels.
2.2- Environmental Impacts Requiring Mitigation
Table 2.1 identifies the environmental impacts that require mitigation. All other topics either have “No Impact” or a “Less than Significant Impact” as identified throughout this Initial Study.

b. Curb and gutter shall be constructed per Riverside County Road Standard No. 201 along the project’s frontage and any existing and damaged curb and gutter shall be replaced. It shall be located 48-ft from median curb.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
8 c. Parkway shall be landscaped, and irrigation improvements shall be installed. d. Applicant shall also be responsible to landscape the existing raised median on Van Buren Boulevard.
e. Note that if the project is constructed after the Van Buren Widening Project, any pavement cuts will be subject to pavement requirements as determined by the City Engineer.
Internal Streets
Proposed internal streets will be private roads . Dedication at entrance to accommodate public improvements will be required (i.e., curb ramps).
Water and Sewer Improvements
Water Service
The Project will connect to the existing 8-inch diameter waterline in Van Buren Boulevard and an existing 12-inch diameter waterline in Clay Street.
Sewer Service
The Project will connect to the existing 8-inch diameter sewer line in Van Buren Boulevard and an 8-inch diameter sewer line in Clay Street.
Storm Drainage Improvements
The Project’s drainage plan includes a series of storm drains and pipes with Bioretention basins, for water quality and stormwater basin located at the southwest and southeast corner s of the site. Storm water conveyance will be through the storm drain system to the bioretention basins with high flows conveyed to an existing storm drain and system locate within the Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street right-of-ways. the eastern portion of the property drains to Clay Street via a proposed 18" storm drain, while the western portion of the site drains to an existing 48" CMP. Each of these outlets has mechanical filters installed to mitigate for water quality.
3.4- Construction and Operational Characteristics
Construction
Construction of the Project is expected to take approximately 13 months. 1 The natural
topography of the Project site gently slopes from the northeast to southwest. Estimated earthwork consists of overexcavation and recompaction and as much as 30 feet of undocumented fill will require removal and replacement with compacted fill to provide an
1 Air Quality Assessment, CalEEMod Datasheets Construction Detail. Appendix A.

9 acceptable building area. Heavy equipment used for grading is estimated to require 1 excavator, 1 grader, 1 rubber tired dozer, and 2 tractors/loaders/backhoes. Heavy equipment used for building construction is estimated to require 1 crane, 2 forklifts, 2 tractors/loaders/backhoes, 1 generator set, and 1 welder.
During all phases of construction, all construction equipment and materials storage would occur within the Project site. No off-site staging area for trucks or equipment would be required during construction activities. To avoid or minimize temporary const ruction-related traffic impacts throughout site preparation and construction activities, the Project Applicant would be required to prepare and implement a City-approved construction traffic management plan.
Operations
Typical operations include vehicle trips from customers, employees, service , and delivery vehicles, and the operation of lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and maintenance equipment associated with similar storage facility uses.

3.5-Environmental Setting
CEQA Guidelines section 15125 establishes requirements for defining the environmental setting to which the environmental effects of a proposed project must be compared. The environmental setting is defined as “…the physical environmental conditions in the vicinity of the project, as they exist at the time the Notice of Preparation is published, or if no Notice of Preparation is published, at the time the environmental analysis is commenced…” (CEQA Guidelines §15125[a]). Because a Notice of Preparation was not required, the environmental setting for the Project is August 12, 2021, which is the date that the Project’s environmental analysis commenced.
The Project site consists of vacant land with no improvements on the northeast intersection of Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street which a re paved 4-lane roadways with curb and gutter adjacent to the southern and southeastern boundaries of the site.
Project site elevation is approximately 742 feet above mean sea level (MSL) sloping from the northeastern portion of the site to the south-southwest corner. The site contains no native vegetation communities, only non-native grassland and as a result of decades of site disturbance.
Previous and current anthropogenic activities and invasion of nonnative plant species have contributed to the disturbed condition of many vegetation communities within the site. 2 Onsite and adjacent land uses, General Plan land use designations, and zoning classifications are shown in Table 3.1.

4.0 Environmental Analysis
The Project is evaluated based on its potential effect on twenty- one (21) environmental topics.
Each of the above environmental topics are analyzed by responding to a series of questions pertaining to the impact of the Project on the particular topic. Based on the results of the Impact Analysis, the effects of the Project are then placed in one of the following four categories, which are each followed by a summary to substantiate the factual reasons why the impact was placed in a certain category.
Potentially Significant or

No Impact
Significant or Potentially
significant impact(s) have been
identified or anticipated that
cannot be mitigated to a level of
insignificance. An Environmental
Impact Report must therefore be
prepared.
Potentially significant
impact(s) have been
identified or anticipated,
but mitigation is possible to
reduce impact(s) to a less
than significant category.
Mitigation measures must
then be identified.
No “significant”
impact(s) identified or
anticipated. Therefore,
no mitigation is
necessary.
No impact(s) identified or
anticipated. Therefore, no
mitigation is necessary.
Throughout the impact analysis in this Initial Study, reference is made to the following:
• Plans, Policies, Programs (PPP) − These include existing regulatory requirements such as plans, policies, or programs applied to the Project based on the basis of federal, state, or Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
4 local law currently in place which effectively reduce environmental impacts. If applicable, they will be identified in the Analysis section for each topic. • Mitigation Measures (MM) − These measures include requirements that are imposed where the impact analysis determines that implementation of the proposed Project would result in significant impacts. Mitigation measures are proposed to reduce impacts to less than significant levels in accordance with the requirements of CEQA.
If applicable to the analysis for a certain environmental topic, Plans, Policies, or Programs (PPP) were assumed and accounted for in the assessment of impacts for each issue area. Mitigation Measures were formulated only for those issue areas where the re sults of the impact analysis identified significant impacts. Both types of measures described above will be required to be implemented as part of the Project if so indicated in the analysis.

PPP 4.1.1 As required by Municipal Code Section 9.145.050 the maximum height of all structures, including buildings, shall be thirty -five (35) feet at the yard setback line. Any portion of a structure that exceeds thirty -five (35) feet in height shall be set back from each yard setback line not less than two (2) feet for each one (1) foot in height that is in excess of thirty -five (35) feet. All buildings and structures shall not exceed fifty (50) feet in height, unless a height up to seventy - five (75) feet for buildings, or one hundred and five (105) feet for other structures is specifically permitted under the provisions of Section 9.240.370.
PPP 4.1-2 Municipal Code Section 9.240.470. – Mini-warehouses, Development Standards establish requirements for but not limited to: setbacks, walls, surface coverings, roofing, lighting, gates, landscaping, caretaker’s residence, prohibited materials, and prohibited facilities.

5 PPP 4.1-3 As required by Jurupa Valley Municipal Code section 7.50.010, all utilities serving and within the Project site shall be placed underground unless exempted by this section.
The City’s General Plan defines scenic vistas as “points or corridors that are accessible to the public and that provide a view of scenic areas and/or landscapes.” Specifically, the City identifies publicly accessible vantage points of the Santa Ana River, Jurupa Mountains, and the Pedley Hills as scenic vistas
3. Fro
m the Project site, the Santa Ana River is located approximately 0.25 miles south, the Jurupa Mountains are located approximately 4.25 miles north, and obscured by the Pedley Hills which are located approximately 1.5 miles northeast.
The Project site provides limited views of the Jurupa Mountains and Pedley Hills in the distant horizon. PPP 4.1-1, 4.1-2, and 4.1-3, above will limit building height and provide building setbacks between structures that would serve to limit blocking the existing views. Views of the Santa Ana River are not available because of intervening development, and topography . Based on the preceding analysis , public views of a scenic vista would not be significantly or permanently blocked with implementation of the Project.

Impact Analysis
According to the California Department of Transportation, the Project site is not located along a State scenic highway4. Additionally, no trees, rock outcroppings, historic buildings or other kinds of scenic resources of significant value are located on the Project site. As such, there is no impact.
In addition, according to the General Plan, the Project site is not located within or adjacent to a scenic corridor or roadway5.

As such, the Project is subject to the City’s applicable regulations governing scenic quality.
P
lans, Policies, and Programs
The following apply to the Project and would help reduce impacts related to scenic quality. These measures will be included in the Project’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure compliance:
PPP 4.1-1
, PPP 4.1-2, and PPP 4.1-3 shall apply.
The Planning Department has reviewed the Project Site and Development Plans submitted by the Applicant and determined that all applicable design and development standards have been met.
With implementation of PPP 4.1- 1 and 4.1-2, the Project would not conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality.

7 Outdoor Lighting and Glare
The Project would increase the amount of light in the area above what is being generated by the vacant site by directly adding new sources of illumination including security and decorative lighting for the proposed structures. With implementation of PPP 4.1-4, impacts relating to light and glare are less than significant.
Building Material Glare
The primary exterior of the future structures will be typical of small warehouse/storage facilities and consist of non-reflective materials including painted precision and split face CMU, coated metal siding, and coated metal roofing materials. Therefore, potential glare from the proposed Project is considered to be less than significant.
4.2 Agriculture Resources

to non-agricultural use?
Impact Analysis
The Project site is designated as “ Urban and Built-Up Land” by the State Department of Conservation7. As such, the Project site does not contain any lands designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance as mapped by the State Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. In addition, no properties abutting the Project site are classified as Farmland. The City of Jurupa Valley’s General Plan considers agricultural land to be an appropriate use of land until such time as a property owner considers farming to be no longer economically viable which is why the General Plan designates agricultural land for eventual suburban and urban uses. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in the conversion of any Farmland to non-agricultural use. Therefore, there are no impacts.

Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
Impact Analysis
Agricultural Zoning
The current zoning classification for the site is M-H (Manufacturing-Heavy) and classified as BP (Business Park) in the General Plan Land Use Element, which is intended to promote and attract local serving retail and service use activities. As such, the Manufacturing-Heavy Zone is not considered a primary agricultural zone.
The site is currently not being used for agricultural purposes. The Project is proposing a change of zone to IP ( Industrial Park ). The IP Zone is not considered a primary agriculture zone.
Therefore, the Project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use.
Williamson Act
A Williamson Act Contract enables private landowners to voluntarily enter contracts with local governments for the purpose of establishing agricultural preserves. According to the County of Riverside, the site is not within an agricultural preserve . 8 Existing surrounding uses include s,
commercial, industrial, and residential uses. Since the Project site does not have any current agricultural use and is not identified as farmland, implementation of the proposed Project will not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non -agricultural use. The Project therefore will have no impacts on existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract.

Impact Analysis
The Project site is located in an area largely characterized by a mix of commercial, industrial, and residential developments. There is no land being used primarily for agricultural purposes in the vicinity of the site ; therefore, development of the site would not convert existing farmland to non-agricultural uses.
4.3 Air Quality
The following analysis is based in part on the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) data sheets included as Appendix A.
Background
Air Pollutants
Air Pollutants are the amounts of foreign and/or natural substances occurring in the atmosphere that may result in adverse effects to humans, animals, vegetation and/or materials. The Air Pollutants regulated by the SCAQMD are described below. 9 Carbon Monoxide (CO). A colorless, odorless gas resulting from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Over 80 percent of the CO emitted in urban areas is contributed by motor vehicles.
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx). Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a byproduct of fuel combustion. The principal form of nitrogen oxide produced by combustion is nitric oxide (NO), but NO reacts quickly to form NO2, creating the mixture of NO and NO2 commonly called NOx.
Particulate Matter (PM 2.5 and PM10): One type of particulate matter is the soot seen in vehicle exhaust. Fine particles — less than one -tenth the diameter of a human hair — pose a serious threat to human health, as they can penetrate deep into the lungs. PM can be a primary pollutant
9 http://www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
10 or a secondary pollutant from hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxides. Diesel exhaust is a major contributor to PM pollution.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). A strong smelling, colorless gas that is formed by the combustion of fossil fuels. Power plants, which may use coal or oil high in sulfur content, can be major sources of SO2.
Ozone: Ozone is formed when several gaseous pollutants react in the presence of sunlight. Most of these gases are emitted from vehicle tailpipe emissions.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs contribute to the forma tion of smog and/or may themselves be toxic. VOCs often have an odor and some examples include gasoline, alcohol, and the solvents used in paints.
Federal and State Air Quality Standards
Under the federal Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes health - based air quality standards for the above -described air pollutants that all states must achieve.
The California Clean Air Act also establishes requirements for cities and counties to meet.
South Coast Air Quality Management District Standards
South Coast AQMD was created by the state legislature to facilitate compliance with the federal Clean Air Act and to implement the state air quality program. Toward that end, South Coast AQMD develops regulations designed to achieve these public health standards by reducing emissions from business and industry. The City of Jurupa Valley is located within the South Coast Air Basin which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast AQMD. Table 4 .3-1 describes the regional significance thresholds established by the South Coast AQMD to meet national and state air quality standards.

11 Attainment Designation
An “attainment” designation for an area signifies that criteria pollutant concentrations did not exceed the established standard. In contrast to attainment, a “nonattainment” designation indicates that a criteria pollutant concentration has exceeded the established standard. Table

Impact
Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
Impact Analysis
The South Coast Air Quality Management District is required to produce air quality management plans directing how the South Coast Air Basin’s air quality will be brought into attainment with the national and state ambient air quality standards. The most r ecent air quality management plan is 2016 Air Quality Management Plan
10 and it is applicable to City of Jurupa Valley. The
purpose of the plan is to achieve and maintain both the national and state ambient air quality standards described above.
In
order to determine if a project is consistent with the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has established consistency criterion which are
10 http://www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality/clean-air-plans/air-quality-mgt-plan Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
12 defined in Chapter 12, Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook and are discussed below.
Consistency Criterion No. 1: The proposed project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay the timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the 2012 Air Quality Management Plan.
Consistency Criterion No. 1 refers to violations of the California Ambient Air Quality Standards and National Ambient Air Quality Standards. As evaluated under Issues 4 .3.3 (b) below, the Project would not exceed regional or localized significance thresholds for any criteria pollutant during construction or during long
-te
rm operation. Accordingly, the Project is determined to be consistent with the first criterion.
Consistency Criterion No. 2: The proposed project will not exceed the assumptions in the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan.
Consistency with 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) The SCAQMD adopted the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) in March 2017. The growth assumptions used in the AQMP to project future air quality emissions levels are based on the projections of the Regional Transportation Model utilized by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), which incorporates land use data provided by lead agency general plan documentation, as well as assumptions regarding population number, location of population growth, and a regional housing needs assessment. When the 2016 RTP/SCS and the 2016 AQMP were prepared, the General Plan Land Use designation for the Project site was BP (Business Park), and this was the land use incorporated into the 2016 AQMP This second AQMP consistency criterion requires that the proposed Project does not exceed the growth assumptions in the AQMP.
The Project site is currently designated in the City General Plan as Business Park (BP) and City zoning as Manufacturing - Heavy (M-H). This designation allows a variety of industrial and related uses that would generate employment but would not directly generate any housing or population growth. A General Plan Amendment and a Change of Zone are being proposed to change the land use/zoning designations of this property to Light Industrial (LI) with a zoning of as Industrial Park (IP), which would allow for development of the proposed self-storage facility. Currently, forecasts indicate that the SCAG region will experience a population growth of 7 percent between 2012 and 2023, with a 7 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and a population growth of 12 percent by the year 2031 with an 8 percent increase in VMT. 11 11 P 3-18
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
13 Consistency with Forecasted Emissions
Air emissions are categorized into the following categories:
Stationary Sources: Stationary sources can be divided into two major subcategories:
Point and Area sources. Point sources primarily consist of permitted facilities with one or more emission sources at an identified location (e.g., power plants, refineries). Area sources consist of many small emission sources (e.g., water heaters, architectural coatings, consumer products and permitted sources that are smaller than the above thresholds) which are distributed across the region and are not required to individually report their emissions. Typical stationary emissions sources result primarily from the combustion of fuels, evaporation of solvents or fuels, and processing of materials. Hence, stationary sources are grouped under fuel combustion, waste disposal, cleaning and surface coatings, petroleum production and marketing, industrial processes, solvent evaporation, and other miscellaneous processes.
Mobile Sources: Mobile sources consist of two subcategories: on- road sources and off- road sources. On-road sources are primarily passenger cars, trucks, and buses. Off -road sources are locomotives, ocean going vessels, commercial harbor craft, pleasure craft and off-highway Recreational Vehicles, cargo handling equipment, farm equipment and aircraft.
12. U
nder the current land use designation of Business Park, the primary emissions sources would be from mobile emissions (traffic). Under the proposed land use of Light Industrial the emissions sources would not change from mobile emissions.
The change in land use was modeled using CalEEMod and as presented in Table 4.3-4, the South Coast AQMD thresholds for operations emissions are not exceeded. As such, the Project would not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, delay the timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the Final 2016 AQMP.
Consistency with 2022 AQMP
The Draft 2022 AQMP has been prepared by SCAQMD and has been released for public review but has not yet been finalized or is under public review and is anticipated to be considered for adoption by either the SCAQMD or /and CARB as of the time of this writing in September 2022.
Although the Project is not required to demonstrate consistency with the 2022 AQMP because it has not been adopted, the following analysis is provided for informational purposes in light of the probability it will be adopted in the near future. The Draft 2022 AQMP builds upon measures already in place from previous AQMPs and includes a variety of additional proposed strategies such as regulation, accelerated deployment of available cleaner technologies (e.g., zero emission technologies, when cost-effective and feasible, and low NOx technologies in other applications), best management practices, co -benefits from existing programs (e.g., climate and energy efficiency), incentives, and other CAA measures to achieve the 2015 8 -hour ozone standard,

The SCAG region is diverse and large, and the types and classifications of land use used by one jurisdiction often differ from those used by another. The result is that there are many different land use types and classifications that SCAG must organize for its own analysis.
Given the number of square miles the SCAG region encompasses, SCAG developed a simplified series of Land Development Categories (LDCs) to represent the dominant themes taken from the region’s many General Plans. This was developed in order to facilitate regional modeling of land use information from nearly 200 distinct jurisdictions. The LDCs employed in the RTP/SCS are not intended to represent detailed land use policies, but are used to describe the general conditions likely to occur within a specific area if recently emerging trends, such as transit -oriented development, were to continue in concert with the implementation of the 2016 RTP/SCS.
SCAG then classified the Place Types into three LDCs. The agency used these categories to describe the general co nditions that exist and/or are likely to exist within a specific area. They reflect the varied conditions of buildings and roadways, transportation options, and the mix of housing and employment throughout the region. The three LDCs that SCAG used are:
1. Urban: These areas are often found within and directly adjacent to moderate and high-density urban centers. Nearly all urban growth in these areas would be considered infill or redevelopment. The majority of housing is multifamily and attached single -family (townhome), which tend to consume less water and energy than the larger types found in greater proportion in less urban locations. These areas are supported by high levels of regional and local transit service. They have well-connected street networks, and the mix and intensity of uses result in a highly walkable environment. These areas offer enhanced access and connectivity for people who choose not to drive or do not have access to a vehicle.
2. Compact: These areas are less dense than those in the Urban LDC, but they are highly walkable with a rich mix of retail, commercial, residential and civic uses. These areas are most likely to occur as new growth on the urban edge, or as large -scale redevelopment. They have a rich mix of housing, from multifamily and attached single -family (townhome) to small- and medium lot single-family homes. These areas are well served by regional and local transit service, but they may not benefit from as much service as urban growth areas and are less likely to occur around major multimodal hubs. Streets in these areas are well connected and walkable, and destinations such as schools, shopping and entertainment areas can typically be reached by walking, biking, taking transit, or with a short auto trip.
3. Standard: These areas comprise the majority of separate -use, auto-oriented developments that have characterized the American suburban landscape for decades. Densities in these areas tend to be lower than those in the Com pact LDC , and they are generally not highly mixed.
Medium- and larger-lot single-family homes comprise the majority of this development form.
Standard areas are not typically well served by regional transit service, and most trips are made by automobile.

15 According to Exhibit 29, Forecasted Regional Development Types by Land Development Categories (2012)-Western Riverside County, the City of Jurupa Valley is classified as being within the Standard LDC.13
The
zone change amendment does not result in the site being considered as being in the Urban or Compact LDC for purposes o f growth projections used for modeling air quality emission assumptions in the 2016 AQMP. As such, the Project is consistent with the growth projections in City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and is considered to be consistent with the 2016 AQMP.
Buildout of the Project is consistent with the Standard LDC and would not be greater than assumed by SCAG’s regional forecast projections and also the AQMP growth projections. In order to exceed the growth assumptions, the Project would have to increase the intensity of development to the degree it would result in the entire city to be reclassified to the Urban or Compact LDC. As detailed in Section 5.13, Population and Housing, the development would not increase the City’s population. As such, the General Plan Amendment and zone change does not result in the site being considered as being in the Urban or Compact LDC for purposes of growth projections used for modeling air quality emission assumptions in the 2016 AQMP. As such, the Project is consistent with the growth projections in City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and is considered to be consistent with the proposed 2022 AQMP.

PPP 4.3-2 The Project is required to comply with the provisions of South Coast Air Quality District Rule 431.2, “Sulphur Content and Liquid Fuels.” The purpose of this rule is to limit the sulfur content in diesel and other liquid fuels for the purpose of both reducing the formation of sulfur oxides and parti cles during combustion and to enable the use of add- on control devices for diesel fueled internal combustion engines.
PPP 4.3-3 The Project is required to comply with the provisions of South Coast Air Quality Management Dis trict Rule 1113, “Architectural Coatings” Rule 1113 limits the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere during painting and application of other surface coatings.

Adherence to Rule 1186 and Rule 1186.1 reduces the release of criteria pollutant emissions into the atmosphere during construction.
Im
pact Analysis
T
he Project has the potential to generate pollutant concentrations during both construction activities and long-t
erm operation. Both construction and operational emissions for the Project were estimated by using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) which is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for government agencies to quantify potential criteria pollutant emissions associated with both construction and operations from a variety of land use projects. The model can be used for a variety of situations where an air quality analysis is necessary or desirable such as California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents and is authorized for use by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
C
onstruction activities associated with the Project will result in emissions of VOCs, NOX, SOX, CO, PM10, and PM2.5. Construction related emissions are expected from the following construction activities:
• Site Preparation
• Grading
• Building Construction
• Paving
• Architectural Coating

Long-Term Regional Operation Related Impacts
Long-term emissions are categorized as area source emissions, energy demand emissions, and operational emissions. Operational emissions will result from automobile, truck, and other vehicle sources associated with daily trips to and from the Project site. Area source emissions are the combination of many small emission sources that include use of outdoor landscape maintenance equipment, use of consumer products such as cleaning products, and periodic repainting of the prop osed commercial facility. Energy demand emissions result from use of electricity and natural gas. The results of the CalEEMod model for operation of the Project site are summarized in Table 4.3-4.

Localized Air Quality Impacts
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has established Localized Significance Thresholds (LST) which are used to determine whether or not a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts for both construction and on -site operations. For the purposes of a CEQA analysis, the SCAQMD considers a sensitive receptor to be to be a receptor such as residential, hospital, convalescent facility where it is possible that an individual could remain for 24 hours If the calculated emissions for the proposed construction or operational activities are below the LST emission thresholds then the proposed construction or operation activity is not significant for air quality. (SCAQMD) For purposes of this analysis, the nearest offsite sensitive receptors are a senior living facility located north and single-family homes on the east side of the area of the project site that will be disturbed during construction or subsequent occupation.

CO Hot Spot Analysis
C
O Hot Spots are typically associated with idling vehicles at extremely busy intersections (i.e., intersections with an excess of 100,000 vehicle trips per day). There are no intersections in the vicinity of the Project site which exceed the 100,000 vehicle per day threshold typically associated with CO Hot Spots. In addition, the South Coast Air Basin has been designated as an attainment area for CO since 2007. Therefore, Project
-re
lated vehicular emissions would not create a Hot
Spot and would not substantially contribute to an existing or projected CO Hot Spot.

Impact Analysis
According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook , land uses associated with odor complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding. The Project does not propose any of the above-described uses.
Potential odor sources associated with the proposed Project may result from construction equipment exhaust and the application of asphalt and architectural coatings during construction activities and the temporary storage of typical solid waste (refuse) associated with the proposed Project’s long-term operational uses.
The construction odor emissions would be temporary, short-term, and intermittent in nature and would cease upon completion of the respective phase of construction and is thus considered less than significant. It is expected that Project- generated refuse would be stored in covered containers and removed at regular intervals in compliance with the City’s solid waste regulations.
Therefore, odors associated with the proposed Project construction and operations would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

A preconstruction survey should be conducted of the eucalyptus and palm trees located along the Van Buren Boulevard right -of-way to ensure that roosting western yellow bats are not present. A pre-construction Western Yellow Bat Survey will be required as indicated in Mitigation Measure (MM) BIO-1.
MM- BIO-1: Pre-construction Western Yellow Bat Survey/Protection.
Prior to construction, the one palm that is present on the Project Site and an appropriate survey buffer shall be surveyed for the presence of bat roosts by a qualified bat biologist. Surveys are recommended as follows:
− (1) Initial surveys are recommended to be conducted at least six months prior to the initiation of vegetation removal and ground disturbing activities, ideally during the maternity season (typically March 1 to August 31), to allow time to prepare mitigatio n and/or exclusion plans if needed, and
− (2) Pre-construction surveys shall be conducted by a qualified bat biologist no more than two weeks prior to the initiation of vegetation removal and ground disturbing activities.
Surveys may entail direct inspection of the trees/suitable habitat or nighttime surveys.
BIO-2.a: If active bat roosts are present, a qualified bat biologist shall determine the species of bats present and the type of roost (i.e., day roost, night roost, maternity roost). If the biologist determines that the roosting bats are not a special-status species and the roost is not being used as a maternity roost, then the bats may be evicted from the roost by a qualified bat biologist experienced in developing and implementing bat mitigation and exclusion plans. • BIO-1 a.i: If special-status bat species or a maternity roost of any bat species is present, but no direct removal of active roosts will occur, a qualified bat biologist shall determine appropriate avoidance measures, which may include implementation of a construction - free buffer around the active roost.
• BIO-1 a.ii.: If special-status bat species or a maternity roost of any bat species is present and direct removal of habitat (roost location) will occur, then a qualified bat biologist Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
3 experienced in developing bat mitigation and exclusion plans shall develop a mitigation plan to compensate for the lost roost site. Removal of the roost shall only occur when the mitigation plan has been approved by the City of Jurupa Valley and only when bats are not present in the roost. The mitigation plan shall detail the methods of excluding bats from the roost and the plans for a replacement roost in the vicinity of the project site. The mitigation plan shall be submitt ed to the City for approval prior to implementation. The plan shall include: (1) a description of the species targeted for mitigation; (2) a description of the existing roost or roost sites; (3) methods to be used to exclude the bats if necessary; (4) meth ods to be used to secure the existing roost site to prevent its reuse prior to removal; (5) the location for a replacement roost structure; (6) design details for the construction of the replacement roost; (7) monitoring protocols for assessing replacement roost use; (8) a schedule for excluding bats, demolishing of the existing roost, and construction of the replacement roost; and (9) contingency measures to be implemented if the replacement roosts do not function as designed.
BIO-1.b.: Pre-construction surveys shall be conducted by a qualified bat biologist no more than two weeks prior to the initiation of vegetation removal and ground disturbing activities. If no active roosts are present, then trees/suitable habitat shall be removed within two weeks following the pre-construction survey. If active roosts are present, then follow BIO-3.a.
BIO-1.c.: All potential roost trees shall be removed in a manner approved by a qualified bat biologist, which may include presence of a biological monitor.

Impact Analysis
Wildlife corridors link together areas of suitable habitat that are otherwise separated by rugged terrain, changes in vegetation, or human disturbance. Corridors effectively act as links between different populations of a species. The Project Site proposed for development does not represent a wildlife travel route, crossing or regional movement corridor between large open space habitats. The Project Site is bordered by existing roads, industrial, commercial, and residential development. As such, the Project will not i nterfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident wildlife corridors.
The site supports nesting opportunities for common migratory bird species. All migratory bird species, whether listed or not, also receive protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918

7 Fairy Shrimp (MSHCP Section 6.1.2) Three species are covered by the MSHCP including the Riverside fairy shrimp ( Streptocephalus woottoni), Santa Rosa Plateau fairy shrimp (Linderiella santarosae), and vernal pool fairy shrimp ( Branchinecta lynchi). According to the MSHCP, vernal pool fairy shrimp habitat is limited to vernal pools and alkali vernal pools, and Santa Rosa Plateau fairy shrimp are limited to vernal pools formed on basalt flows. No portion of the Project site is described as having an alkali complex or basalt flows. In addition, no vernal pools are considered to be present on the Project site and therefore Santa Rosa Plateau and vernal pool fairy shrimp are not either.
No potential fairy shrimp habitat was detected and due to the lack of suitable habitat on the Project site, no impacts to fairy shrimp are anticipated.

Impact Analysis
Historic resources generally consist of buildings, structures, improvements, and remnants associated with a significant historic event or person(s) and/or have a historically significant style, design, or achievement. Damaging or demolition of historic res ources is typically considered to be a significant impact. Impacts to historic resources can occur through direct impacts, such as destruction or removal, and indirect impacts, such as a change in the setting of a historic resource.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
8 CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(a) clarifies that historical resources include the following:
1. A resource listed in or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources.
2. A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code, or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements [of] section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code.

Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California.
Historic Setting
The Project site is located in a general location associated with Native American occupation and/or use during prehistoric and protohistoric periods. It is also an area associated with historic Mexican period rancho activity, American period ranching and farming activity, and, more recently, recreational activity.
Historically, the Project area was owned by the C lay family as a ranch for raising and breeding horses, and has been vacant for many years.
Research and Conclusions
A record search was conducted at the University of California, Riverside, Eastern Information Center, Riverside, for the Project area. This search included a review of all recorded historic and prehistoric archaeological sites within a one -mile radius of the P roject site. In addition, the California Points of Historical Interest (PHI), the listing of California Historical Landmarks (CHL) , the California Register of Historic Resources Inventory (HRI) were checked . Historic maps were also reviewed.
The California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) indicated that 19 surveys were completed within a half -mile radius of the Van Buren Blvd., and Clay Street area. The EIC records search and literature review revealed 11 cultural resources recorded within ½ mile of the Project Area. Of these 2 were recorded within ¼ mile of the Project Site referenced as 33-015968 NW Pipe Co. Mill Building (Destroyed) and 33-015969 NW Pipe Co.
Production Warehouse (Destroyed), both of which were determined to be not eligible for protection and razed in 2006. None of the other recorded resources will be impacted by the proposed Project. In addition, research failed to identify any National Register of Historic Places properties; no California State Landmarks; no California Register of Historical Resources; nor any California Points of Historical Interest in the immediate vicinity of the Project site.

Archaeological Setting
Archaeological sites are locations that contain resources associated with former human activities, and may contain such resources as human skeletal remains, waste from tool manufacture, tool concentrations, and/or discoloration or accumulation of soil or food remains.
Research and Conclusions
A standard archaeological records check was completed through the University of California, Riverside, Eastern Information Center . This research was designed to compile data on previous studies, the identification of nearby architectural resources, and to place the P roject site in a context for assessing the sensitivity of the Project site to yield evidence of archaeologi cal resources.
Recent research for projects within ¼ mile identified the P roject area as having a low level of sensitivity for prehistoric archaeological resources and a moderate level of sensitivity for evidence of historic archaeological resources. The intensive survey of the property failed to yield any evidence of prehistoric or historic archaeological resources. While there is always a potential for buried resources, the potential is relatively low and, with no evidence of bedrock outcroppings and the extensive farming conducted over decades, it is unlikely buried resources will be identified within the P roject site. However, since the area is still considered slightly sensitive (resources have been recorded within one mile), should any evidence of prehistoric archaeological resources be encountered during grading activities, the following mitigation measures are required:
Mitigation Measure(s)
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the following notes shall be placed on the grading plan:
MM-CR-1: Archaeological Monitoring. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Permit Applicant shall provide evidence to the City of Jurupa Valley Community Develop ment Department that a qualified professional archaeologist (Professional Archaeologist) that is listed on the City of Jurupa Valley Cultural Resources Consultant List or the Cultural Resource Consultant List Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
10 maintained by the County of Riverside Planning Department, has been contracted to implement Archaeological Monitoring for the area of impact for the Project. Monitoring shall be conducted in coordination with the Consulting Tribe(s), defined as a Tribe that initiated the tribal consultation process for the Project as provided for in Public Resources Code §21080.3.1(b) (“AB52”) and has not opted out of the AB 52 consultation process, and has completed AB 52 consultation with the City. Monitoring shall address the details of all ground-disturbing activities and provides procedures that must be followed to avoid or reduce potential impacts on cultural, archaeological, and tribal cultural resources to a level that is less than significant.
A
fully executed copy of the Archaeological Monitoring Agreement shall be provided to the City of Jurupa Valley Planning Department to ensure compliance with this measure. If the resource is significant, Mitigation Measure CR-2
shall apply.
MM-CR-2: Archaeological Treatment Plan. The Project Archaeologist shall prepare and implement a treatment plan to protect the identified archaeological resource(s) from damage and destruction. The treatment plan shall be per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f) for historical resources and Public Resources Code Section 21083.2(b) for unique archaeological resources.
Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementing archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource and subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. If historic Native American tribal cultural resources are involved, the Treatment Plan shall be coordinated with the Consulting Native American Tribe(s) as described in Mitigation Measure TCR-1 through TCR-3 of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for MA20219.
MM-CR-3: Final Plan. A final report containing the significance and treatment findings shall be prepared by the Project Archaeologist and submitted to the City of Jurupa Valley Community Development Department and the Eastern Information Center, University of California, Riverside.
If a historic tribal cultural resource is involved, a copy shall be provided to the Consulting Native American Tribe(s) as d escribed in Mitigation Measure TCR -1 through 3 of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for MA20219.

Result in potentially significant environmental impact
due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary

Impact Analysis
Construction Energy Analysis
Construction of the Project would require the use of fuel and electric powered equipment and vehicles for construction activities. The majority of activities would use fuel powered equipment and vehicles that would consume gasoline or diesel fuel. Heavy construction equipment ( e.g., dozers, graders, backhoes, dump trucks) would be diesel powered, while smaller construction vehicles, such as pick -up trucks and personal vehicles used by workers would be gasoline powered. The majority of electricity use would be from power tools. The anticipated construction schedule assumes the Project would be built in approximately 13 months . The consumption of energy would be temporary in nature and would not represent a significant demand on available supplies. There are no unusual characteristics that would necessitate the use of fuel or electricity that would be less energy efficient than at comparable construction sites in the region or State.
Starting in 2014, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the nation's first regulation aimed at cleaning up off-road construction equipment such as bulldozers, graders, and backhoes.
These requirements ensure fleets gradually turnover the oldest and dirtiest equipment to newer, cleaner models and prevent fleets from adding older, dirtier equipment. As such, the equipment used for Project construction would conform to CARB regulations and California emissions standards as fuel efficiencies gradually rise. It should also be noted that there are no unusual Project characteristics or construction processes that would require the use of equipment that would be more energy intensive than is used for comparable activities; or equipment that would not conform to current emissions standards (and related fuel efficiencies). Equipment employed in construction of the Project would therefore not result in inefficient , wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of fuel.
In addition, as requir ed by state law
19, idling times of co nstruction vehicles is limited to no more than f ive minu tes, there by minimizing, or eliminating u nnecessary and wasteful consumption of fuel due to unproduct ive idling of construction e quipment. Equipment

2 employed in construction of the Project would therefore not result in inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of fuel.
Operation Energy Analysis
Energy consumption in support of or related to Project operations would include transportation energy demands and operational energy demands.
Transportation Energy Demands
E
nergy that would be consumed by Project
-g
enerated traffic is a function of total vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) and estimated vehicle fuel economies of vehicles a ccessing the Project site. The Project will result in: 2,072,365 annual VMT and an estimated annual fuel consumption of 79,706 gallons of fuel.20
E
nhanced fuel economies realized pursuant to federal and state regulatory actions, and related transition of vehicles to alternative energy sources (e.g., electricity, natural gas, biofuels, hydrogen cells) would likely decrease future gasoline fuel demands per VMT. Location of the Project proximate to regional and local roadway systems tends to reduce VMT within the region, acting to reduce regional vehicle energy demands. As supported by the preceding discussions, Project transportation energy consumption would not be considered inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary.
Operational Energy Demands
Occupancy of the project would result in the consumption of natural gas and electricity. E nergy demands are estimated using CalEEMod for General Light Industry, at 2,888,300 kBTU/year of natural gas and 904,275 kWh/year of electricit y a self -storage facility would produce a lower demand and as such these estimates present a worse -case scenario . 21 Natural gas would be
supplied to the Project by SoCalGas and electricity would be supplied by S outhern C alifornia Edison (SCE) . The Project p roposes self-storage facility and does not propose uses that are inherently energy intensive and the energy demands in total would be comparable to other similar land use projects of similar scale and configuration. Lastly, the Project will comply with the applicable Title 24 standards. Compliance itself with applicable Title 24 standards will ensure that the Project energy demands would not be inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary.
I
n summary, as supported by the preceding analysis, neither construction nor operation of the Project would r esult in w asteful, ineff icient, or un necessary consumption of en ergy, or wasteful u se of en ergy resources.

24. The plan will
identify potential sources of erosion and sedimentation loss of topsoil during construction, and identify erosion control measures to reduce or eliminate the erosion and loss of topsoil, such as use of silt fencing, fiber rolls, or gravel bags, stabilized construction entrance/exit, hydroseeding.
Th
rough compliance with the Municipal Code, construction impacts related to erosion and loss of topsoil would be less than significant.
Operation
The proposed Project includes installation of landscaping throughout the Project site and areas of loose topsoil that could erode by wind or water would not exist upon operation of the Project.

Plans, Policies, or Programs (PPP)
The following apply to the Project and would reduce impacts relating to an unstable geologic unit. These measures will be included in the Project’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure compliance:
PPP 4.7-1 shall apply.
Landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, and collapse as a result of an earthquake are largely dependent on the underlying geologic conditions (e.g., bedrock, type of soil, and the depth of the water table). The site is composed of artificial fill material and cementitious slope fill materials which are considered undocumented fill. Underlying the fill materials are older alluvial fan deposits consisting of silts, sands, and clays with gravel with bedrock. The water table is at a depth greater than 50 feet bgs.
Landslides: The Preliminary Geotechnical Soils Evaluation for the Project site states that the proposed development is in an area of relatively flat terrain and a significant distance from any up-gradient steep slopes, and no landslides have been mapped in the immediate Thus, the potential for landslides is considered negligible for design purposes.
Lateral Spreading : When subsurface sand layers lose strength because of liquefaction, lateral spreading can occur in overlying sediments allowing them to move down even the gentlest slopes. The potential for and magnitude of lateral spreading is dependent upon many conditions, including the presence of a relatively thick, continuous, potentially liquefiable sand layer and high slopes. Subsurface information obtained for the Preliminary Geotechnical Soils Evaluation indicate that the soil deposits underlying the property has a low susceptibility to liquefaction or seismically-induced settlement. Based on currently available procedures, the site does not appear to be susceptible to (lateral spread) ground surface disruption during a moderate seismic event.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
7 Subsidence/Collapse: Land subsidence can occur in various ways during an earthquake.
Large areas of land can subside drastically during an earthquake because of offset along fault lines. Land subsidence can also occur as a result of settling and compacting of unconsolidated sediment from the shaking of an earthquake. Cohesive soils such as clay and silt are particularly likely to cause subsidence since they shrink and swell depending on their moisture content. According to the USGS Land Subsidence in California Map, the Project site is not located in an area where subsidence has occurred.25
Liquefaction: The occurrence of liquefaction is restricted to certain geologic and hydrologic environments, primarily in areas with recently deposited sands and silts (usually less than 10,000 years old) with high ground- water levels. It is most common where the water table is at a depth of less than 30- feet. As noted in the response to Threshold 4.7 (a2), according to General Plan 26 the Project site has a high potential for liquefaction. The Preliminary Geotechnical Soils Evaluation for the Project found that Groundwater is expected at a depth greater than 50-ft bgs. The subject site is underlain by dense to very dense old alluvial fan deposits at the ground surface underlain by very dense granitic bedrock. The Preliminary Geotechnical Soils Evaluation determined that the potential for liquefaction at the subject site is considered negligible.27

8 PPP 4.7-1 shall apply.
Expansive soils are characterized by their ability to undergo significant volume changes (shrink or swell) due to variations in moisture content. Changes in soil moisture content can result from precipitation, landscape irrigation, utility leakage, roof drainage, perched groundwater, drought, or other factors and may result in unacceptable settlement or heave of structures or concrete slabs supported on grade.
The expansion index, EI, value is used by engineers and other professionals as an indicator of the soil’s swelling potential. According to American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) Standard D4829, soil having an expansion potential of greater than 91 is considered to be expansive soil.
Based on laboratory testing, the materials present near the ground surface have an Expansion Index EI=25 which is less than an Expansion Index of greater than 91. As such, risks from expansive soils are considered to be low. Notwithstanding, the Project would be required to construct the proposed structures in accordance with the approved recommendations included in the Geotechnical Investigation prepared for the project (Appendix B).

9 Resources Assessments in the area of the project , paleontological overviews were prepared by Dr. Samuel McLeod of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The overviews included a review of applicable literature, geologic maps, and the identification of local resources known to the Museum.
McLeod (2020) indicated that excavations in the exposed igneous rocks will not uncover any recognizable fossils, shallow excavations into older Quatemary Alluvium may not encounter significant vertebrate fossils, however deeper excavations ma y encounter fossil vertebrates.
Therefore, the following mitigation measures are required.
Mitigation Measures (MM):
MM-GEO-1: Paleontological Monitoring. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a qualified Paleontologist shall be retained to conduct monitoring as necessary during ground -disturbing activities such as vegetation removal, grading, and other excavations related to the project. The Paleontologist shall be present at the pre -grade conference and shall establish a schedule for paleontological resource surveillance based on the nature of planned activities. The Paleontologist shall establish, in cooperation with the lead agency, procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work, if any is ongoing, to permit the sampling, identification, and evaluation of cultural resources as appropriate. If the paleontological resources are found to be significant, the Paleontologist/Monitor shall determine appropriate actions, in cooperation with the lead agency, for exploration and/or salvage. Significant sites that cannot be avoided will require data recovery measures and shall be completed upon approval of a Data Recovery Plan.
MM-GEO-2: Paleontological Treatment Plan. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a qualified paleontologist shall be retained to observe ground- disturbing activities and recover fossil resources as necessary when construction activities will impact the older Quaternary Alluvium.
The Paleontologist will attend the pre-grade conference and establish procedures and protocols for paleontological monitoring and to temporarily halt ground -disturbing activities to permit sampling, evaluation, and recovery of any discovery. Substantial excavations below the uppermost layers (more than 3 feet below surface) should be monitored. Sediment samples should be recovered to determine the small -fossil potential of the site. If a discovery is determined to be significant, additional excavations and salvage of the fossil may be necessary to ensure that any impacts to it are mitigated to a less than significant level.
Unique Geologic Feature
The Project site is relatively flat. The subject site is underlain by dense to very dense Old Alluvial fan deposits at underlain by very dense granitic bedrock. As such, the Project does not contain a geologic feature that is unique or exclusive locally or regionally. With implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-GEO-1 and MM-GEO-2, impacts are less than significant.

No single land use project could generate enough greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to noticeably change the global average temperature. Cumulative GHG emissions, however, contribute to global climate change and its significant adverse environmental impacts. Thus, the primary goal in adopting GHG significance thresholds, analytical methodologies, and mitigation measures is to ensure new land use development provides its fair share of the GHG reductions needed to address cumulative environmental impacts from those emissions.
Thresholds of Significance
A final numerical threshold for determining the significance of greenhouse gas emissions in the South Coast Air Basin has not been established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. General Plan Policy AQ 9.5 requires the City to utilize the SCAQMD Draft GHG thresholds to evaluate development proposals until the City adopts a Climate Action Plan (CAP) . The City Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
11 ha s determined that the SCAQMD’s dra ft threshold of 3, 000 MTCO 2e p er year is appropriate for industrial and warehouse land u se de velopment p rojects. The 3,000 M TCO2e thres hold is b ased on the SCAQMD staff’s p roposed GHG screening threshold for station ary source emissions f or non- industrial pr ojects, as desc ribed in the SCAQMD’s Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold f or S tationary Sources, Rules and Plans (“SCAQMD Int erim GHG Threshold”).

Determining a project’s consistency with plans, policies or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions plans presents unique challenges because the impact is global and solutions require both global, federal, state, and local action. The following are the primary plans adopted at the State level that serve to reduce GHG emissions:
• The California Air Resources Board (CAR B) Scoping Plan is the state’s overall strategy in the form of measures that apply to emission sectors that comprise the state’s greenhouse gas emission inventory. The state’s implementation strategy primarily takes the form of source-specific regulations for energy producers fuel suppliers, and vehicle manufacturers. For example , California Light -Duty Vehicle GHG Standards and Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The Scoping Plan envisions a limited role for local government in implementing the state’s GHG reduction strategy, focusing on local government’s authority over land use and some transportation projects.
• The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (Sustainable Communities Act, SB 375, Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) supports the State's cli mate action goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through coordinated transportation and land use planning with the goal of more sustainable communities. To this end, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), has adopted the Connect SoCal – The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy which charts a course for closely integrating land use and transportation to increase mobility options and achieve a more sustainable growth pattern.
Implementation of Connect SoCal depends on partnerships with our local jurisdictions and County Transportation Commissions (CTCs). The land use strategies in Connect SoCal are based on a growth vision that was developed through extensive consultation with local communities, which proposes multiple different types of Priority Growth Areas, as well as identifying regional growth constraints. SCAG provides resources to help local jurisdictions align local plans and programs with the regional growth vision through a series of technical assistance and funding programs.
Certain measures of the Scoping Plan and Connect SoCal are supported by the Project, such as energy conservation and energy efficiency measures. Other measures, while not directly applicable, would not be obstructed by Project implementation. The City is in the process of Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
2 preparing a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in conjunction with WRCOG which will identify specific policies and regulations that are directed at the project level. Until such time that the City adopts a CAP, the Project is evaluated for consistency with the following plans, policies, or regulations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as shown in Table 4.8.2 , Consistency with GHG Reduction Measures.

Impact Analysis
Plans, Policies, and Programs
The following applies to the Project and would reduce impacts relating to the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. This measure will be included in the Project’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure compliance:
PPP 4.9-1 As required by Health and Safety Code Section 25507, a business shall establish and implement a business plan for emergency response to a release or threatened release of a hazardous material in accordance with the standards prescribed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
4 regulations adopted pursuant to Section 25503 if the business handles a hazardous material or a mixture containing a hazardous material that has a quantity at any one time above the thresholds described in Section 25507(a) (1) through (6).
Existing Conditions
An on-site survey/property evaluation was conducted on February 14, 2020. The subject site was observed by foot and adjacent properties were observed from the subject site. The purpose of the subject site reconnaissance was to observe the present site use and conditions as they relate to the possible presence of potentially hazardous substances and petroleum products. In addition, adjoining properties and roads were visually observed from the subject site to identify land uses and the potential presence of structures, operations, activities, or environmental conditions that may involve the use, treatment, storage, disposal, or generation of hazardous wastes and/or petroleum products that may pose an environmental concern to the subject site.

Construction Activities
Heavy equipment that would be used during construction of the proposed Project would be fueled and maintained by substances such as oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, and other liquid materials that would be considered hazardous if improperly stored or handled. In addition, materials such as paints, roofing materials, solvents, and other substances typically used in building construction would be located on the Project site during construction. Improper use, storage, or transportation of hazardous materials could result in accidental releases or spills, potentially posing health risks to workers, the public, and the environment. The potential for accidental releases and spills of hazardous materials during construction is a standard risk on all Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
5 construction sites, and there would be no greater risk for improper handling, transportation, or spills associated with future development that would be a reasonably consequence of the proposed Project than would occur on any other similar construction site.
Construction contractors are required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials, including but not limited to requirements imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, South Coast Air Quality Management District, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board. As such, impacts due to construction activities would not cause a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. A less than significant impact would occur.
Operational Activities
In accordance with the City’s Municipal Code Sec. 9.240.470: Mini-warehouse facilities shall be designated and operated for the storage of goods in individual compartments or rooms, which are available for use by the general public on a rental or lease basis. In no case shall storage spaces be used for manufacturing, retail or wholesale selling, compounding, office functions, other business or service uses, or human habitation. Individual storage spaces within a mini-warehouse shall have a maximum gross floor area of 500 square feet. The following facilities shall not be permitted in mini-warehouses: 1) No, water, sanitary facilities, or electricity, with the exception of lighting fixtures, shall be provided in individual storage units. 2) Prefabricated shipping containers shall not be used as mini-warehouse facilities. The following prohibited materials shall not be stored in mini-warehouse facilities: 1) Flammable or explosive matter or materials. 2) Matter or material which create obnoxious dust, odor, or fumes. 3) Hazardous or extremely hazardous waste, as defined by applicable provisions of the Hazardous Waste Control Law (Health and Safety Code Section 25100, et. seq.)
Accordingly, the Project would not expose people or the environment to significant hazards associated with the dispos al of hazardous materials at the Project site. Long -term operation of the Project would not expose the public or the environment to significant hazards associated with the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials.

PPP 4.10-1 As required by Municipal Code Chapter 6.05.050, Storm Water/Urban Runoff Management and Discharge Controls, Section B (1), any person performing construction work in the city shall comply with the provisions of this chapter, and shall control storm water runoff so as to prevent any likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment. The City Engineer shall identify the BMPs that may be implemented to prevent such deterioration and shall identify the manner of implementation. Documentation on the effectiveness of BMPs implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the MS4 shall be required when requested by the City Engineer.
PPP 4.10-2 As required by Municipal Code Chapter 6.05.050, Storm Water/Urban Runoff Management and Discharge Controls, Section B (2), any person performing construction work in the city shall be regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board in a manner pursuant t o and consistent with applicable requirements contained in the General Permit No. CAS000002, State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 2009-0009-DWQ. The city may notify the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage

Water Quality Standards
The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act
31 defines water quality objectives (i.e., standards)
as “…the limits or levels of water quality constituents or characteristics which are established for the reasonable protection of beneficial uses of water or the prevention of nuisance within a specific area” [(§13050 (h)].
32 Construction Impacts (Water Quality Standards)
C
onstruction of the Project would involve clearing, grading, paving, utility installation, building construction, and the installation of landscaping, which would result in the generation of potential water quality pollutants such as silt, debris, chemicals, paints, and other solvents with the potential to adversely affect water quality. As such, short -te
rm water quality impacts have
the potential to occur during construction activities in the absence of any protective or avoidance measures.
T
he Municipal Code requires the Project to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Stormwater Permit for construction activities 33. The permit is required for all Projects that include construction activities, such as clearing, grading, and/or excavation that disturb at least one acre of total land area.
C
ompliance with the permit requires the preparation and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for construction
-r
elated activities, including grading. The plan would
specify the measures that would be required to implement during construction activities to ensure that all potential pollutants of concern are prevented, minimized, and/or otherwise appropriately treated prior to being discharged from the site.

3 Operational Impacts (Water Quality Requirements)
Storm water pollutants commonly associated with the type of land uses that could occupy the proposed structures include sediments, nutrients, trash and debris, bacteria and viruses, oil and grease, and pesticides. Pursuant to the requirements of the Municipal Code 34, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is required for managing the quality of storm water or urban runoff that flows from a developed site after construction is completed and the facilities or structures are occupied and/or operational. The Preliminary WQMP prepared for the Project (Appendix E), proposes to divert surface runoff to the water quality and storm bio detention basins located at the southwest and southeast corners of the site.
Wa
ste Discharge Requirements
Waste Discharge Requirements are issued by the Santa Ana Regional Board under the provisions of the California Water Code, Division 7 “Water Quality,” Article 4 “Waste Discharge Requirements.”
35 These requirements regulate the discharge of wastes which have not made to surface waters, but which may impact the region’s water quality by affecting underlying groundwater basins. Discharge requirements are issued for Publicly Owned Treatment Works’ wastewater reclamation operations, discharges of wastes from industries, subsurface waste discharges such as septic systems, sanitary landfills, dairies, and a variety of other activities which can affect water quality.
O
perational Impacts (Waste Discharge Requirements)
To facilitate proper funding and management of sanitary sewer systems, the Jurupa Community Services District has adopted Sewer System Management Plan WDID 8SSO1058236 (SSMP) that
includes provisions to provide proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of sanitary sewer systems . Additionally, the SSMP contains a spill response plan that establishes standard procedures for immediate response to a sanitary sewer overflow in a manner designed to minimize water quality impacts and potential nuisance conditions. By connecting to the Jurupa Community Services District sewer system, the Project will not violate any waste discharge requirements.

Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such
that the project may impede sustainable groundwater
management of the basin?
Impact Analysis
Groundwater Supplies
Water service will be provided to the Project by the Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD).
The district’s wells are located within the Chino Ground Water Basin. The Basin is adjudicated, which means if JCSD extracts water that exceeds the safe yield (i.e., the rate at which groundwater can be withdrawn without causing long-term decline of water levels), JCSD may incur a replenishment obligation, which is used by the Watermaster to recharge the ground water basin with State Water Project water. The Basin has been maintained by the Watermaster in a safe yield condition under this method of operation. Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to contribute to a substantial depletion of groundwater supplies.
Sustainable Groundwater Management
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act requires governments and water agencies of high and medium priority basins to halt overdraft and bring groundwater basins into balanced levels of pumping and recharge. The act requires the prioritization of basins and subbasins based on a variety of factors such as population and number of water wells in a basin. Basins are ranked from very -low to high -priority. Basins ranking high - or medium -priority are required to form Groundwater Sustainability Agencies to manage basins sustainably and requires tho se agencies to adopt Groundwater Sustainability Plans.
As noted above, the Project’s groundwater supplies come from an adjudicated basin. Adjudicated basins are exempt from the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) because such basins already operate under a court -ordered management plan to ensure the long -term sustainability of the B asin. No component of the Project would obstruct with or prevent implementation of the management plan for the Basin . As such, the Project’s construction and operation would not conflict with any sustainable groundwater management plan. Impacts would be less than significant

A General Plan Amendment (GPA) is being proposed to change the designation of this property to Light Industrial (LI) and corresponding change of zone (CZ) is also proposed to reclassify the site as Industrial Park ( IP). The proposed Project would implement these new designations through a development plan that consists 5 buildings totaling approximately 98,157 square feet with 763 mini storage units as shown in the proposed site plan (see previous Figure 3.2, Conceptual Site Plan).
The applicable plans and policies relating to a conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the Project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect are summarized below.

According to the General Plan39 the Project site is located within Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ ) 3, which is defined as “Areas containing known or inferred mineral occurrences of undetermined mineral resources significance.” However, no mineral resource extraction activity is known to have ever occurred on the Project site. Accordingly, implementation of the Project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region or the residents of the State of California.

Existing Ambient Noise Levels
The primary source of noise in the area is from vehicle traffic from Clay Street and the Metrolink/BNSF Railroad which ranges from 63.3-73.2 dBA and was measured at 53.4 LAeq at the proposed Project site.
Construction Noise Impact Analysis
Noise levels associated with the construction will vary with the different types of construction equipment. Table 4.13-1, Typical Cons truction Equipm ent No ise Levels identifies the level of noise generated by construction equipment.

The City’s criteria for determining if construction noise results in a significant CEQA impact is as follows:
1) The project is inconsistent with General Plan Policy NE 3.5: Construction Noise which states:
“Limit commercial construction activities adjacent to or within 200 feet of residential uses to weekdays, between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and limit high- noise-generating construction activities (e.g., grading, demolition, pile driving) near sensitive receptors to weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.”
Residential uses and sensitive receptors are located greater than 200 feet from the Project site’s southwestern and therefore, consistent with General Plan Policy NE 3.5.
2) Construction noise levels exceed the levels identified in the latest version of the Federal Transit Administration Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual.
Construction noise will have a temporary or periodic increase in the ambient noise level above the existing within the Project vicinity. Typical operating cycles for these types of construction equipment may involve one or two minutes of full power operation followed by three to four minutes at lower power settings. Noise levels will be loudest during grading phase. The construction noise levels are expected to range from 54.8 to 72.6 dBA Leq, and the highest construction levels would be attenuated below 45 dBA Leq at the closest sensitive receiver locations southwest of the site. The con struction noise at that the nearest sensitive receiver locations will satisfy the reasonable daytime 80 dBA Leq significance threshold established by the Federal Transit Administration Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
5 nearby sensitive receiver locations would experience less than significant impacts due to Project construction noise levels.
Off-Site Operational Traffic Noise Impacts
According to Caltrans, the human ear is able to begin to detect sound level increases of 3 decibels (dB) in typical noisy environments. 41 A doubling of sound energy (e.g., doubling the volume of traffic on a highway) that would result in a 3 -dBA increase in sound, would generally be barely detectable.
T
he Project expects to generate approximately 142 daily trips at full occupancy. It takes a doubling of traffic to create a +3 dBA noise impact. Primary site access is via Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street which are substantially trafficked roads with a current daily traffic count presented in Table 4.13-2. The addition of 142 trips would create a minimal noise increase of less than the 3 dBA significance threshold.

Conclusion
The Project’s noise impacts will not result in the generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project more than standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies.

Generate excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-
borne noise levels?
Impact Analysis
This analysis focuses on the potential ground-borne vibration associated with vehicular traffic and construction activities. Ground-borne vibration levels from automobile traffic are generally overshadowed by vibration generated by heavy trucks that roll over the same uneven roadway surfaces. However, due to the r apid drop-off rate of ground-borne vibration and the short duration of the a ssociated events, vehicular traffic-induced ground-borne vibration is ra rely perceptible beyond the roadway right-of-way, and r arely results in vibration levels that c ause damage to buildings in t he vicin ity. However, while vehicular traffic is rarely perceptible, construction has the potenti al to re sult in varying degrees of t emporary ground v ibration, depending on the specific construction activities and equipment used. Ground vibration le vels associated with various types of constructi on equipment are summarized in Table 4.13-3.

For a project located within the vicinity of a private
airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public
airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing
or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
Impact Analysis
The Project consists of single -family residences and will not expose people to excessive aircraft noise. The nearest airport is Riverside Municipal Airport located approximately 1.25 miles southeast of the Project site. According to Map RI-3, Noise Compatibility Contours Riverside Municipal Airport, Land Use Compatibility Plan, t he southwest section of the Project site is located within the 60 CNEL Noise Impact Zone. Standard building design and construction methods would provide adequate noise attenuation to comply with the indoor noise standard of 45 CNEL and thereby not expose residents of the Project to excessive noise levels. 42 4.14 Population And Housing

2 According to the General Plan, the City is a net exporter of jobs, with more residents working outside the City than non- residents working inside the City. 43 Thus, it is anticipated that new employees generated by the Project would be within commuting distance and would not generate needs for any housing.
T
ypically, growth would be considered a significant impact pursuant to CEQA if it directly or indirectly affects the ability of agencies to provide needed public services and requires the expansion or new construction of public facilities and utilities.
Water and sewer service to the Project site will be provided by the Rubidoux Community Services District. No additional water or sewer infrastructure will be needed to serve the Project other than connection to the existing water and sewer lines in the imme diate vicinity of the Project site.
In addition, the analysis in Section 4.15, Public Services, of this Initial Study demonstrates that the impacts on public services are less than significant so the public service provider’s ability to provide services will not be reduced.

2 The Riverside County Fire Department provides fire protection services to the Project area. The Project would be primarily served by the Riverside County City of Jurupa Valley Fire Station No. 16 located approximately 1.4 roadway miles east of the Project site at 9270 Limonite Avenue.
Development of the Project would impact fire protection services by placing an additional demand on existing fire protection resources should its resources not be augmented. To offset the increased demand for fire protection services, the Project would be conditioned by the City to provide a minimum of fire safety and support fire suppression activities, including compliance with State and local fire codes, fire sprinklers, a fire hydrant system, paved access, and secondary access routes.
In addition, as required by the City’s Inter -Agency Project Review Request process, the Project plans were routed to the Fire Department for review and comment on the impacts to providing fire protection services. The Fire Department did not indicate that the Project would result in the need for new or physically altered fire facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives.
Furthermore, the Municipal Code requires payment of the Development Impact Fee to assist the City in providing for fire protection services.
44 Payment of the Development Impact Fee would
ensure that the Project provides fair share funds for the provision of additional public services, including fire protection services, which may be applied to fire facilities and/or equipment, to offset the incremental increase in the demand for fire protection services that would be created by the Project.

This statewide mandate took effect July 1, 2020. Impacts related to LOS will be evaluated through the City’s development review process apart from CEQA.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
2 The Jurupa Valley Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines provide several screening thresholds for determining if a VMT analysis is required. A project VMT analysis would not be required if a project is located in a Transit Priority Area (TPA) or a low VMT area, or if the project is a local serving retail project or other neighborhood use, including projects that generate fewer than 250 daily trips.
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis:
The City’s Traffic Analyst determined the project would be considered local serving and would not generate traffic at a level that would be expected to have a significant VMT impact.
The proposed project is considered to be a local-serving land use and is expected to generate primarily locally-oriented trips at a rate that that would not be expected to increase the city’s total vehicle miles travelled (VMT). The project is consistent with the trip making characteristics for this site in the City’s General Plan and is consistent with the Sustainable Communities Strategy.
Additionally, the VMT Screening Assessment determined that the proposed project is forecast to generate a total of approximately 142 daily trips, including 9 trips during the AM peak hour and 15 trips during the PM peak hour. Therefore, the proposed project is forecast to generate fewer than 50 peak hour trips or 250 daily trips.
The proposed project satisfies the City-established screening criteria for project type and is presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact .

4 Research and Conclusions
A record search was conducted at the University of California, Riverside, Eastern Information Center, Riverside, for the Project site. This search included a review of all recorded historic and prehistoric archaeological sites within a one -mile radius of the P roject site. In addition, the California Points of Historical Interest (PHI), the listing of California Historical Landmarks (CHL), the California Register of Historic Resources Inventory (HRI) were checked . Historic maps were also reviewed.
The California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) indicated that 19 surveys were completed within a half -mile radius of the project site. The research indicates that of the 19 surveys 8 of which were at least partially within the Project boundary and 3 of the 8 included surveys for the entire project site. The EIC research and literature review revealed 11 cultural resources recorded within ½ mile of the Project Site. No sites were recorded within the Project Site, the nearest 2 were recorded to the west across Clay Street referenced as 33-015968 NW Pipe Co. Mill Bu ilding (Destroyed) and 33-015969 NW Pipe Co. Production Warehouse (Destroyed), both of which were determined to be not eligible for protection and razed in 2006. None of the recorded resources will be impacted by the proposed Project. In addition, research failed to identify any National Register of Historic Places properties; no California State Landmarks; no California Register of Historical Resources; nor any California Points of Historical Interest in the immediate vicinity of the Project site.

So
lid waste from Jurupa Valley is transported to the Robert A. Nelson Transfer Station and Material Recovery Facility at 1830 Agua Mansa Road. From there, recyclable materials are transferred to third- party providers, and waste materials are transported to various landfills in Riverside County. Solid waste generated during long
-te
rm operation of the Project would
primarily be disposed at the Badlands Sanitary Landfill and/or El Sobrante Landfill. Table 4.19-1 describes the capacity and remaining capacity of these landfills.

Construction Related Impacts
The California Green Building Standards Code (“ CAL Green ’), requires all newly constructed buildings to prepare a Waste Management Plan and divert construction waste through recycling and source reduction methods. The City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department reviews and approves all new construction projects required to submit a Waste Management Plan.
Mandatory compliance with CAL Green solid waste requirements as required by PPP 4.19 -1 will ensure that construction waste impacts are less than significant.
In addition, as shown in Table 4.19- 1 above, the landfills serving the Project site receive well below their maximum permitted daily disposal volume and demolition and construction waste generated by the Project is not anticipated to cause these landfills to exceed their maximum permitted daily disposal volume. Furthermore, none of these regional landfill facilities are expected to reach their total maximum permitted disposal capacities during the Project’s construction period. As such, these regional landfill facilities would have sufficient daily capacity to accept construction solid waste generated by the Project.
Operational Related Impacts
Based on solid waste generation usage obtained from the Project’s CalEEMod Datasheets from the Project’s GHG Assessment ( Appendix A), the Project would generate approximately 110.24 tons of solid waste per year or 0.30 tons per day. T able 14.19-2 compares the Project’s waste generation against the remaining landfill capacity

Badlands Sanitary Landfill 4,800 0.30 0.006%
El Sobrante Landfill 16,054 0.30 0.002%
As shown on Table 4.19 -2, the Project’s solid waste generation will add a minimal amount of additional solid waste of the remaining capacity of the Badlands Sanitary Landfill or the El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill. As such, the Project is not anticipated to cause these landfills to exceed their remaining capacities.

Is the project located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones?
Impact Analysis
A wildfire is a nonstructural fire that occurs in vegetative fuels, excluding prescribed fire. Wildfires can occur in undeveloped areas and spread to urban areas where the landscape and structures are not designed and maintained to be ignition resistant. As stated in the State of California’s General Plan Guidelines: “ California’s increasing population and expansion of development into previously undeveloped areas is creating more ’wildland- urban interface’ issues with a corresponding increased risk of loss to human life, natural resources, and economic assets associated with wildland fires.” To address this issue, the state passed Senate Bill 1241 to require Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
13 that General Plan Safety Elements address the fire severity risks in State Responsibility Areas (SRAs) and Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs).
According to General Plan Figure 8-11, Wildfire Severity Zones in Jurupa Valley, the Project site is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones. As such, Thresholds 4.20 (a) through 4.20 (d) below require no response.

Have impacts that are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental
effects of a Project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects,
and the effects of probable future projects)?
The cumulative impacts analysis provided here is consistent with §15130(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, in which the study of cumulative effects of a project is based on two determinations:
• Are the combined impact of this project and other projects significant? • If so, is the project’s incremental effect cumulatively considerable, causing the combined impact of the projects evaluated to become significant? The cumulative impact must be analyzed only if the combined effects are significant, and the Project’s incremental effect is found to be cumulatively considerable (CEQA Guidelines 15130(a)(2) and (3)).
The analysis of potential environmental impacts in Section 4.0, Environmental Analysis, of this Initial Study concluded that the Project would have no impact or a less than significant impact for all environmental topics, except Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources), Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Service Systems (installation of facilities that involves disturbance of previously undisturbed land). For these resources, Mitigation Measures are required to reduce impacts to less than significant levels as discussed below.
Biological Resources
As discussed in Section 4.4, Biological Resources, of this Initial Study, future development will impact the available biological resources present on the site. All the vegetation will be removed during future construction activities. However, because construction may not occur immediately, the potential exists for colonization of burrowing owls in the days or weeks preceding ground disturbing activities. Therefore, Mitigation Measure MM-BIO-1: Pre-construction Western Yellow Bat Survey/Protection, MM-BIO-2: Nesting Bird Protection are required.
Development activities will also impact wildlife, and those with limited mobility (i.e., small mammals and reptiles) will experience increases in mortality during the construction phase.
More mobile species (i.e., birds, large mammals) will be displaced into adjacent areas and will likely experience minimal impacts. However, the Yellow Bat and Nesting Birds are known to be located within the regional area. Due to their transient nature, they have the potential to inhabit the site in the future . Therefore, Mitigation Measures BIO -1, and BIO-2, are required to ensure any impacts remain less than significant.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
16 Overall, the loss of areas of disturbed unvegetated and areas dominated by non -native ruderal species is not expected to have a significant cumulative impact on the overall biological resources in the region, given the presence of similar habitat throughout the surrounding desert region.
Based on the preceding analysis, the Project’s impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Cultural Resources
As discussed in Section 4.5, Cultural Resources, of this Initial Study, the records search, and recently conducted area field surve ys did not identify any cultural resources, including historic and prehistoric sites or historic -period buildings within the project site boundaries. Research results, combined with surface conditions, have failed to indicate sensitivity for buried cultural resources. No additional cultural resources work or monitoring is necessary during proposed activities associated with the development of the earthmoving activities. If previously undocumented cultural resources are identified during earthmoving activities , in that case, a qualified archaeologist should be contacted to assess the nature and significance of the find, diverting construction excavation, if necessary, as required by Mitigation Measures CR-1 through CR-3. Based on the preceding analysis, the Pro ject’s impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources)
As discussed in Section 4.7, Geology and Soils, of this Initial Study, the property is situated in the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province. The Peninsular Ranges province is one of the largest geomorphic units in western North America. It extends from the point of contact with the Transverse Ranges geomorphic province, southerly to the tip of Baja California. Based on field exploration, the area of anticipated improvements is underlain by older alluvium. Alluvium has the potential to contain paleontologic al resources. Therefore, Mitigation Measures GEO -1 and GEO-2 are required. Based on the preceding analysis, the Project’s impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Tribal Cultural Resources
As discussed in Section 4.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, of this Initial Study, construction and operation of the Project would include activities limited to the confines of the Project site. The tribal consultation conducted through the SB -18 and AB5-2 consultation processes determined that the Project is unlikely to adversely affect tribal cultural resources by implementing Mitigation Measures TCR-1 through TCR-3. Based on the preceding analysis, the Project’s impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Utilities and Service Systems
As discussed in Section 4. 19, Utilities and Service Systems, of this Initial Study, the installation and construction of the sewer, water, storm drainage facilities described below will result in earth moving that may impact Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology, and So ils (Paleontological Resources), and Tribal Cultural Resources. Potential impacts to these resources are mitigated by Mitigation Measures BIO -1, BIO-2, CR-1, CR-2, CR-3, GEO-1, GEO-2, and TCR-1 through TCR-3. Based on the preceding analysis, the Project’s impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration MA20219 Platinum Storage
17 In instances where impacts have been identified, the Plans, Policies, or Programs were applied to the Project based on federal, state, or local law currently in place that effectively reduces environmental impacts, or Mitigation Measures are required to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Therefore, potential adverse environmental impacts of the Project, in combination with the impacts of other past, present, and future projects, would not contribute to cumulatively significant effects.

either directly or indirectly?
Under this threshold, the types of impacts analyzed consist of those that affect human health and well -being. As indicated by this Initial Study, the Project may cause or result in certain potentially significant environmental impacts that directly affect human beings for construction noise. The construction noise levels are expected to range from 54.8 to 72.6 dBA Leq, and the highest construction levels would be attenuated below 40 dBA Leq at the closest sensitive receiver locations southwest of the site. The construction noise analysis shows that the nearest sensitive receiver locations will satisfy the reasonable daytime 80 dBA Leq significance threshold established by the Federal Transit Administration Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual and nearby sensitive receiver locations would experience less than significant impacts due to Project construction noise levels.

(a) The application for MA No. 20219 was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State law and Jurupa Valley Ordinances.
-4-
(b) On February 8, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Jurupa Valley held a public hearing on MA No. 20219, at which time all persons interested in the Project had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission on these matters. Following the receipt of public testimony, the Planning Commission closed the public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2023-02 on a 4 -0 vote (with Commissioner Newman absent) recommending approval of the Project, subject to conditions of approval.
(c) On April 6, 2023, the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley held a public hearing on MA No. 20219, at which time all persons interested in the Project had the opportunity and did address the City Council on these matters. Following the receipt of public testimony, the City Council closed the public hearing.
(d) All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 5. California Environmental Quality Act Findings and Recommendation for Adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The City C ouncil of the City of Jurupa Valley hereby makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Project:
(a) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Cal. Pub.
Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and the State Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15000 et seq.), City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the approval of the Project as described in the Initial Study. Based upon the findings contained in that Study, City staff determined that, with the incorporation of mitigation measures, there was no substantial evidence that the Project could have a significant effect on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) was prepared by the City in full compliance with CEQA.
(b) On May 4, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023 -28 adopting the MND and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) for the Project. Resolution No. 2023-28 is incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
Section 6. Findings for Approval of Setback Adjustment. The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley finds and determines that Setback Adjustment No. 23001 should be granted because:
(a) The adjustment is consistent with the intent and purposes of Chapter 9.240 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code in that Section 9.240.360 of Chapter 9.240 allows modifications of the front, rear or side yard minimum setback requirements of the various zone classifications in Jurupa Valley Municipal Code;
(b) There are special ci rcumstances applicable to the subject property, including such factors as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that justify the approval of the adjustment of the setback requireme nt in that the subject property has an irregular shape (“dumbbell”) with sloping topography towards the street. The central portion of the Project site is too narrow to accommodate any buildings. Additionally, the Project site fronts on two (2) major streets that require substantial street dedications. There is a need for flexibility in the 50-foot rear yard setback requirement for any development on the subject site because strict application of the
-5-
Zoning Code development standards would reduce building size to an unreasonably small portion on the site; and
(c) The adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety , and general welfare of the community or be detrimental to property in the vicinity of the parcel for whi ch the adjustment is requested. The Project site is adjacent to an existing mini-storage facility and abuts a railroad on the rear. The Project will be designed to comply with all current building and fire codes making it safe for the public. The Project will include solid masonry walls and bui ldings along the perimeter of the site with adequate exterior lighting making it a secure place of business for the public.
Section 7. Findings for Approval of Site Development Permit. The City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley finds and determines that Site Development Permit No. 23008 should be approved because:
(a) The proposed use will conform to all the requirements of the 2017 Jurupa Valley General Plan and the IP land use designation , as amended by General Plan Amendment No. 20003.
(b) The proposed use will conform to all applicable requirements of State law in that the Project will be designed to conform to all applicable requirements of State law as required by State law and conditions of approval.
(c) The proposed use will conform to all applicable requirement s of the ordinances of the City of Jurupa Valley , subject to approval of Setback Adjustment No. 23001.
The Project site i s currently zoned Manufacturing - Heavy (M-H). The P roject includes an application for a Change of Zone from M-H to I-P. The proposed development of a gated mini- storage facility is an allowed use in the I-P Zone, subject to the development standards set forth in Sections 9.145.050 and 9.240.470 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code. (d) The proposed overall development of the land , as demon strated in the Project site plan(s), is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare.
The combination of the site design, building design, compliance with all applicable development standards, mitigation measures, and conditions of approval will ensure that the Project is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. There will be solid masonry walls and new storage buildings erected around the perimeter of the site with adequate exterior lighting, making it a secure and safe place of business for the public. (e) The proposed overall development of the land is designed to conform to the logical development of the land in that the subject site is irregular in shape and is ad jacent to an existing mini-storage facility to the south. The proposed use will have access from Clay Street, similar to the adjoining businesses. The site has limited visibility and cannot easily accommodate other commercial or industrial uses due to its irregular shape and topography. (f) The proposed overall development of the land is designed to be compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property in that a mini-storage facility at the proposed location is in keeping with the established pattern of development. There is an existing mini -storage facility adjacent to and south of the subject site , and there is a light
-6-
industrial business park to the east. The irregular-shaped lot configuration makes development of other commercial or industri al uses infeasible because buildings footprints are substantially reduced and access is limited on Van Buren Boulevard. The blighted, abandoned restaurant at the northeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street will need to be substantially reconstructed in order to accommodate a new commercial development when this occurs at a later date. The proposed mini-storage buildings will be treated architecturally to be compatible with adjoining buildings in the vicinity.
(g) The proposed site development plans consider the location and need for dedication and improvement of necessary streets and sidewalks, including the avoidance of traffic congestion in tha t the P roject will require new street widening dedications on Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street and will require new improvements on both street frontages to include with new sidewalks, curb, gutters, street lights and public landscaping. (h) The proposed site development plans take into account topographical and drainage conditions, including the need for d edication and improvements of necessary structures as a part thereof in that the conceptual grading plan shows storm water will flow through the internal driveway system of the project and be conveyed to the southwest and southeast portions of the site towards the water quality and detention basins. The bio -detention basins reduce the potential for stormwater to erode topsoil downstream, and will mitigate the overflow of water onto the streets.
(i) The proposed site development plans do not permit the construction of more than one structure on a single legally divided parcel. The proposed Project has been conditioned to prohibit the applicant from selling any constructed structures until the parcel on which the buildings are located is divided and a final m ap is recorded. There is no intention by the owners to sell the property because they will own and operate the facility, and they do not intend to subdivide the land in the future for individual sale of a storage building.
Section 8. Approval of Setback Adjustment N o. 23001 and Site Development Permit No. 23008 with Conditions. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves Setback Adjustment No. 23001 and Site Development Permit No. 23008 to permit the construction of a ninety-eight thousand one hundred fifty-seven (98,157) square foot gated mini-storage facility with five (5) storage buildings, a manager’s office, customer parking, and perimeter walls and landscaping on approximately 4.73 acres of real property located on the east side of Van Buren Boulevard north of Clay Street (APN: 163-400-046), subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”
(a) The City Council’s approval of Setback Adjustment No. 23001 and Site Development Permit No. 23008 shall not be effective until the effective date of the ordinance adopting Change of Zone No. 21002 and this approval is contingent upon the City Council approving General Plan Amendment No. 20003.
Section 9. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

NOTE: There will only be one action taken on Resolution No. 2023 -32. The findings for approval of GPA No. 22008 can be found in Exhibit B to Resolution No. 2023-32.
BACKGROUND
By law, a City’s Zoning Map must be consistent with its General Plan Land Use Map.
When the City incorporated in 2011, it inherited the County of Riverside’s Zoning and General Plan Land Use Maps for the area of Jurupa Valley. As time progressed and applications were submitted to the City, the existing inconsistencies between the two maps and actual existing land uses became more apparent. In particular, property containing JD’s Steakhouse (located at 4947 Felspar Street) developed as a shopping center but is zoned for Manufacturing - Service Commercial (M-SC) with a General Plan Land Use designation of Business Park (BP) . Exhibit 1 provides an aerial view of the site.
It is important to note that the City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application for a new business at Page | 3
this site. Table 1 provides a summary of the approximate project lot size and both zoning and General Plan information.

and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center. A copy of Chapter
9.148 (M-SC Zone) is attached for reference as well as Chapter 9.125 (C-P-S Zone).
Planning Commission Recommendation. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 2 2, 2023 and voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the action to the City Council.
ANALYSIS
The GPA and CZ are recommended for three parcels of approximately 3.86 acres located near the northeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Road west of Felspar Street (Assessor Parcel Numbers 167 -160-004, 167 -160-019 and 167 -160-020). The intent of the GPA and CZ is to permit commercial and retail uses in this shopping center.
With the existing land use designation and zoning, it would permit industrial uses with entitlements. CZ22004 involves changing the zoning map from MS -C (Manufacturing Service - Commercial) to C -P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial). GPA22008 involves changing the Land Use Map from Business Park (BP) to Commercial Retail (C-R). Exhibit 2 provides an illustration of the existing zoning, while Exhibit 3 provides an illustration of the proposed zoning.
EXHIBIT 2. EXISTING M-SC ZONING
Page | 5
EXHIBIT 3 – PROPOSED C-P-S ZONING
As the above map shows, zoning the property for C -P-S is a logical continuation of the existing commercially zoned properties to the east and the west.
The General Plan for the property is Business Park (BP), however, this designation is not considered appropriate given the existing shopping center and the fact that its size is not conducive to typical business park development. Exhibit 4 shows the existing General Plan designation of Business Park (BP) and Exhibit 5 shows the proposed General Plan designation of Commercial Retail (CR).
Changing the Zoning Map and General Plan Land Use Map will correct the inconsistency between the zoning and the existing shopping center as well as increase the financial viability of the properties. Equally as important, the action will provide compliance with State law.

167-160-019 AND 167-160-020)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Council does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On September 7, 2017, the Jurupa Valley City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-14 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), State Clearinghou se No. 2016021025, for the Jurupa Valley General Plan.
B. The City has initiated General Plan Amendment No. 2200 8 to change the General Plan land use designation of approximately 3.86 acres located near the northeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Avenue west of Felspar Street (APNs 167-160-019 and 167-160-020) from Business Park (BP) to Commercial Retail (C -R), and Change of Zone No. 22004 to change the zoning map from M -SC (Manufacturing - Service Commercial) to C -P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial) (collectively, “Project”).
C. The City has caused an Addendum to be prepared to the previously certified FEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 because the approval of the Project does not require the preparation of a new or Supplemental Environmental Impact Report pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
D. An Addendum need not be circulated for public review but is attached to the FEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
E. The City Council has reviewed and considered the Addendum in conjunction with the FEIR.
-2-
12774-0007\2778340v2.doc
F. On February 22, 2023, the Planning Commission of the City of Jurupa Valley held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Addendum to the FEIR and the Project, at which time all persons interested in these acti ons had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission. After hearing all written and oral testimony on the proposed actions and duly considering the comments, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2023 -05, on a 4 -0 vote (with Commission er Newman absent) recommending that the City Council adopt an Addendum to the FEIR and approve the Project. Resolution No. 2023 -05 is hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full.
G. On May 4, 2023, the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Addendum to the FEIR and the Project at which time all persons interested in the Project had the opportunity and address the City Council.
H. The City Council has reviewed the findings made in this Resolution and finds that they are based upon substantial evidence that has been presented to the City Council in the record of proceedings. The documents, staff report, and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which this Resolution is based are on file and available for public examination on the City’s website at www.Jurupa ValleyCA.gov. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the contents the Addendum to the FEIR prior to deciding whether to approve the Project.
Section 2. Further Findings. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City Council finds and determines that an Addendum to the FEIR is the appropriate environmental document to analyze the Project because:
A. Some changes or additions to the FEIR are necessary, but none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
B. There are no substantial changes proposed by the Project that will require major revisions of the previously certified FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; C. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circums tances under which the Project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the previously certified FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and D. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the FEIR was adopted showing that: (a) the changes proposed with the Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR; (b) there are significant effects previously examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR; (c) there are mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those -3-
12774-0007\2778340v2.doc
analyzed in the FEIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
E. The custodian of records for the FEIR and Addendum, and all other m aterials that constitute the record of proceedings is the Community Development Department of the City of Jurupa Valley. Those documents are available for public review in the Community Development Department located at 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, California 92509.
Section 3. Adoption of Addendum. The City Council hereby adopts the Addendum to the FEIR which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley on this 4th day of May, 2023.

Jurupa Valley General Plan Amendment 22008 and Change of Zone 22004 – January 2023 Page | 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Background This Addendum to the Certified City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and Supporting Documents Final Program Environmental Impact Report (GP FPEIR) (LSA, February 14, 2017 ) (State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025) has been prepared by the City of Jurupa Valley in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.), the CEQA Guidelines(Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Chapter 3 § 15000 et seq.), and City of Jurupa Valley CEQA Guidelines to address minor changes to the General Plan Program (as defined below), as a result of the proposed amendment to the General Land Use Element. By law, a City’s Zoning Map must be consistent with its General Plan Land Use Map. When the City incorporated in 2011, it inherited the County of Riverside’s Zoning and General Plan Land Use Maps for the area of Jurupa Valley. As time progressed and development applications were submitted to the Community Development Department, inconsistencies between the two maps and actual existing land uses have surfaced. In particular, property containing JD’s Steakhouse (located at 4947 Felspar Street) is developed as a shopping center but is zoned for Manufacturing- Service Commercial (M-SC) with a General Plan Land Use designation of Business Park (BP). The City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application. Change of Zone 22004 and General Plan Land Use Plan Amendment 22008 will correct the inconsistency with the existing land uses of the shopping center and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center. CZ22004 and GPA22008 consist of three parcels with approximately 3.86 acres located near the northeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Avenue west of Felspar Street (Assessor Parcel Numbers 167-160-004, 167-160-019 and 167-160-020). CZ22004 involves changing the zoning map from MS-C (Manufacturing Service - Commercial) to C-P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial). GPA22008 involves changing the Land Use Map from Business Park (BP) to Commercial Retail (C-R). 1.2 Prior CEQA Documents The Jurupa Valley General Plan (General Plan) was adopted by Resolution No. 2017-14 on September 7, 2017. The City of Jurupa Valley General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (GP FEIR); LSA, February 14, 2016, State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025, was certified by Resolution No 2017-14 on September 7, 2017.

1.3 CEQA Requirements for Use of an Addendum The City’s consideration of the potential environmental impacts resulting from the Project is consistent with CEQA Guidelines §15164 and §15162, which state the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR. CEQA Guidelines §15164 • The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. • An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. • An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. • The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. • A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. CEQA Guidelines §15162 a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
1.0 Introduction
Jurupa Valley General Plan Amendment 22008 and Change of Zone 22004 – January 2023 Page | 3
A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or D. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. When only some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines §15162 are met, CEQA allows the lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR (CEQA Guidelines §15164(a)). 1.4 Incorporation by Reference CEQA Guidelines § 15150 encourage environmental documents to incorporate by reference other documents that provide relevant data and analysis. The documents outlined below, which were utilized during preparation of this second Addendum to the GP FEIR, are a matter of public record and are herebyincorporated by reference. These documents are available for review at the City of Jurupa Valley, 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, CA. 92509 and on the City’s website at http:// www.jurupavalley.org • Jurupa Valley General Plan – Adopted by Resolution No. 2017-14 on September 7, 2017. • City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and Supporting Documents Final Environmental Impact Report (LSA, February 14, 2016) – State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025. Certified by Resolution No. 2017-14 on September 7, 2017 1.5 Summary of Analysis and Findings for the Addendum Based upon the analysis of potential environmental consequences anticipated to occur as a result of Project implementation, the City has determined that the Project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the prior 2017 General Plan FEIR. For these reasons, the Project would not satisfy any of the conditions that warrant preparation of a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR.
1.0 Introduction
Jurupa Valley General Plan Amendment 22008 and Change of Zone 22004 – January 2023 Page | 4
Therefore, as Lead Agency, the City has determined that preparation of an Addendum is appropriate.
2.0 Project Description Summary
Jurupa Valley General Plan Amendment 22008 and Change of Zone 22004 – January 2023 Page | 5
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY 2.1 General Plan Land Use Element Amendment The City is proposing to amend the General Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps. The whole of the Project involves one focused area identified in Figure 2.1, General Plan Amendment Area. The purpose of the Project is to correct inconsistency with the existing land use on the site. The City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application. Change of Zone 22004 and General Plan Land Use Plan Amendment 22008 will correct the inconsistency with the existing land uses of the shopping center and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST JURUPA VALLEY GENERAL PLAN 3.1 Project Description The Project is a component of General Plan Amendment No. 22008 and Change of Zone No. 22004. CZ22004 and GPA22008 consist of three parcels with approximately 3.86 acres located near the northeast corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Avenue west of Felspar Street (Assessor Parcel Numbers 167-160-004, 167-160-019 and 167-160-020), as shown in Figure 2.1, General Plan Amendment Area. CZ22004 involves changing the zoning map from MS-C (Manufacturing Service - Commercial) to C- P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial). GPA22008 involves changing the Land Use Map from Business Park (BP) to Commercial Retail (C-R). 3.2 Approach to the Analysis This impact evaluation provides the basis for determining whether the amendment to the City of Jurupa Valley 2017 General Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps (“Project”) would have any significant environmental impacts that were not previously addressed in the 2017 General Plan Final EIR SCH # 2016021025, was certified by Resolution No 2017-14 on September 7, 2017. The Project is evaluated based on its potential effect on the environmental topics contained in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Each of the environmental topics addressed in this Addendum is analyzed by responding to a series of questions pertaining to the impact of the Project on the particular topic. Based on the results of the Impact Analysis, the effects of the Project are then placed in one of the following four categories, which are each followed by a summary to substantiate the factual reasons why the impact was placed in a certain category.

This column indicates that minor changes to the mitigation measures contained in the previous EIR are required to ensure that the impacts remain less than significant.
This column indicates that changes in CEQA requirement or changes in environ- mental conditions or circumstances have reduced impacts as compared to the previous EIR.
This column indicates that the level of environmental impact remains the same as identified in the previous EIR.
Changes in CEQA Analysis Requirements The California Supreme Court concluded in the California Building Industry Association vs. Bay Area Air Quality Management District (CBIA vs. BAAQMD) case that “CEQA generally does not require an analysis of how existing environmental conditions will impact a project’s future users or residents.” The Court held that “agencies subject to CEQA generally are not required to analyze the impact of existing environmental conditions on a project’s future users or residents. But when a proposed project risks exacerbating those environmental hazards or conditions that already exist, an agency must analyze the potential impact of such hazards on future residents or users. In those specific instances, it is the project’s impact on the environment – and not the environment’s impact on the project – that compels an evaluation of how future residents or users could be affected by exacerbated conditions.” As a result of this case, there are instances where an impact analyzed in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, may have been identified as a “significant and unavoidable” impact or a “less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated,” but said impact is no longer considered a significant impact under current CEQA requirements. For example, elevated noise or air quality impacts from stationary or mobile sources to residential development may have been identified as an impact under previous CEQA requirements, but is no longer an impact now. 3.3 Environmental Setting CEQA Guidelines §15125 establishes requirements for defining the environmental setting to which the environmental effects of a proposed project must be compared. The environmental setting is defined as “…the physical environmental conditions in the vicinity of the project, as they exist at the time the Notice of Preparation is published, or if no Notice of Preparation is published, at the time the environmental analysis is commenced…” (CEQA Guidelines §15125[a]). Because a Notice of Preparation was not required, the environmental setting for the Project is January 2, 2023, which is the date that the Project’s environmental analysis commenced.

3.4.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to aesthetics were determined to be less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified. No substantial changes in the environment related to aesthetics will occur with the land use and zoning changes that would lead to more significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required. 3.4.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis 3.4 (a) Adverse Effect on Scenic Vista Implementation of the proposed General Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps Update is not expected to degrade views of scenic resources in the City. At full buildout, development in many parts of the City would intensify urban development in currently undeveloped areas. The General Plan indicates the City contains the following important visual and aesthetic resources: • Santa Ana River • Jurupa Mountains • Pedley Hills The City’s Open Space and Conservation Element incorporates two state-mandated general plan elements to help protect local natural resources, including viewsheds and other aesthetics resources. With incorporation of the City’s General Plan Elements, Policies, Ordinances, and Municipal Codes, impacts on scenic vistas is less than significant. 3.4 (b) Substantially Damage Scenic Resources Implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would not result in damage to any historic buildings or significant rock outcroppings or degrade resources within a State Scenic Highway. The City is committed to preserving the environment and its natural resources, which are important to the heritage, character, economy, and overall quality of life of the community. The City’s goal is that scenic corridors and viewsheds are preserved and protected from change that would diminish the aesthetic value. Policies and actions in the General Plan express the City’s vision for balanced growth and ensure that new development is integrated into the natural topography. Adherence to the design standards of the City’s ordinances and commercial design guidelines and implementation of the policies of the General Plan would ensure that future development that would be accommodated by the General Plan would be developed in a manner that would not cause significant impacts on scenic resources. New projects would be required to preserve viewsheds and view corridors. Impacts of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update are considered to be less than significant.

3.4 (c) Degrades Visual Character Implementation of the Land Use and Zoning Maps Update could substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the Project Area. Future development would be required to implement the General Plan’s goals, programs, and policies, and would be subject to design review consistent with the City Plans, Grading, and Municipal Codes. Thus, negative impacts to visual character would be less than significant. 3.4 (d) Source of Light and Glare Sources of light and glare exist within the confines of the City, including building lighting (interior and exterior), security lighting, sign illumination, and parking-area lighting. These sources are mostly associated with the multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Single-family, rural, and semirural residential development spread across the valley are also sources of nighttime light. Other sources of nighttime light and glare include streetlights and vehicular traffic along roadways. Additionally, some ambient lighting exists from surrounding communities and roadways. The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would allow consistency with a currently developed parcel and for the future development of currently undeveloped parcels. The lighting associated with improvements and structures of future development projects could increase nighttime light and glare within the City. Sources of light and glare from new development would include lighting needed to provide nighttime street and building illumination, security lighting, nighttime traffic, sign illumination, and lighting associated with construction activities. All future development projects that would be accommodated by the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update will be required that all outdoor lighting shall be designed and installed to comply with California Green Building Standard Code Section 5.106 or with a local ordinance lawfully enacted pursuant to California Green Building Standard Code Section 101.7, whichever is more stringent. Adherence to City regulations and implementation of the policies of the General Plan would ensure that light and glare from new development and redevelopment projects accommodated by the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would be minimized and that significant impacts would not occur. 3.4.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to aesthetics were determined to be less than significant, and no mitigation measures were identified. No substantial changes in the environment related to aesthetics will occur with the land use change that would lead to more significant impacts, and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.4.7 Conclusion Development in the City has the potential to impact visual and scenic resources. Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to Scenic Vistas, Scenic Resources, Visual Character, and Light and Glare that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR. The 2017 General Plan and related implementing actions established goals and policies for future residential, commercial, mixed-use, manufacturing, and industrial development throughout the Project Area. The General Plan did not authorize any site-specific land-altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current views. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies. The purpose of the Project is to correct inconsistency with the existing land use on the site. The City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application. Change of Zone 22004 and General Plan Land Use Plan Amendment 22008 will correct the inconsistency with the existing land uses of the shopping center and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center. As such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on aesthetics, including scenic vistas, scenic resources, visual character, and light and glare that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

Future development will also remove 2,077 acres of land classified as farmland of local importance (i.e., not prime farmland) which is not considered a significant impact of General Plan implementation. 3.5.B The small amount of land under Williamson Act contracts is being removed and the 2017 General Plan does not propose any agricultural zones. 3.5. C&D There are no forest resources within the City, so there will be no significant impacts would occur to forest zoned land from the implementation of the proposed General Plan. 3.5.E The City is underlain by approximately 2,000 acres of Class I-III soils which can support agricultural or farmland activities according to the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Future development will eventually cover over these soils with rural and suburban development. The goals and policies of the 2017 General Plan establish a process for the eventual transition of land from agriculture to development based on market conditions, and impacts of this conversion process will be less than significant.

3.5.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Implementation of the General Plan goals, policies, and programs regarding agriculture will not reduce environmental impacts related to loss of prime agricultural soils to less than significant levels, and there is no feasible mitigation for this eventual loss (e.g., no long-term preservation programs for agriculture). 3.5.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies COS 4.1.1 Use agricultural land conservation programs to improve the viability of farms COS 4.1.2 Discourage the conversion of productive agricultural land COS 4.1.3 Encourage placement of uses compatible with agriculture on adjacent land LUE 1.3 Encourage conservation of Prime Farmland and productive agricultural lands. LUE 1.4 Adhere to the Riverside County Right-To-Farm Ordinance. 3.5.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to agricultural resources were less than significant with implementation of existing and proposed policies, standards, regulations, and implementing programs with the exception of loss of prime farmland which would have significant and unavoidable impacts with no feasible mitigation available. 3.5.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis 3.5 (a) Conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), The Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would not result in the conversion of designated Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland to a non-agricultural use. It is the City’s intent to preserve productive agricultural land wherever possible and to discourage the conversion of productive agricultural land unless there are overarching community-wide benefits from conversion of agricultural land to urban uses. The prime farmland is mainly located in the western portion of the City (just east of the I-15 Freeway north of Limonite Avenue) and the land designated as farmland of local importance located in the west, southeast, and northeast portions of the City. The Parcels that make up the Project are not designated as prime farmland or farmland of local importance, therefore, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions will not result in any impacts related to farmland.

3.5 (b) California Land and Conservation Act (Williamson Act) A Williamson Act Contract enables private landowners to voluntarily enter contracts with local governments for the purpose of establishing agricultural preserves. According to the County of Riverside, the site is not within an agricultural preserve. 1 Existing surrounding uses include commercial development to the north and east, Clay Street with future planned residential to the west, and commercial to the to the south. Since the Project site does not have any current agricultural use and is not identified as farmland, implementation of the proposed Project will not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. The Project therefore will have no impacts on existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract. 3.5 (c, d, e) Rezone of Conversion of Forest Land or Timberland; Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest? There are no forest or timberland resources zoned within the City of Jurupa Valley, therefore impacts related to conversion of forest or timberland would be less than significant. The Parcels that make up the Project are not designated as prime farmland or farmland of local importance, therefore, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions will not result in any impacts related to farmland. 3.5.6 New Additional Mitigation Measures No substantial changes in the environment related to agricultural, forestry, or timberland resources will occur with the land use and zone change that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required. 3.5.7 Conclusion Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to Agriculture and Forestry Resources that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR. 1 California Department of Conservation Riverside County Important Farmland Data Availability, Important Farmland Maps Riverside West 2018, https://www.conservation.ca.gov/dlrp/fmmp/Pages/Riverside.aspx, accessed January 7,2023.

Future development will emit air pollutants in amounts far in excess of SCAQMD regional thresholds for ROG, NOx, CO, PM10, and PM2.5. Implementation of the 2017 General Plan will help reduce future emissions to the greatest extent feasible at a programmatic level but will not be able to reduce them below SCAQMD thresholds for criterial pollutants. 3.6.C Air pollutant emissions from future development, including trucks from warehouse projects, may cause short- or long-term impacts on sensitive land uses that may be adjacent to construction sites. Sensitive land uses along major roadways may also experience air quality impacts as traffic increases from local growth. The goals and policies of the 2017 General Plan will help protect sensitive receptors along major roadways, so impacts will be less than significant in this regard. During construction associated with future growth, there may be short-term construction-related air pollutant emissions that may impact adjacent sensitive uses. The goals of the General Plan will help minimize potential impacts by regulating

construction equipment and providing buffers between adjacent land uses where necessary 3.8.D Future development may add uses in the City that produce short-term odors, but no significant long-term sources are expected. The 2017 General Plan policies restrict or regulate potential future uses to minimize impacts like odors. 3.6.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts Individual projects will have to identify and implement their own project-specific mitigation but there are no additional programmatic measures available other than the goals, policies, and programs of the Air Quality Element and other elements of the 2017 General Plan that will help reduce air pollution from future development. Future development project may exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds even with project-specific mitigation, so this long-term impact remains significant. 3.6.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies AQ 1.1.1 Regional Participation. Promote and participate with regional, subregional and state agencies, both public and private, in all areas to protect and improve air quality, including enforcement of all regulations.

The most recent air quality management plan is 2016 Air Quality Management Plan2 and it is applicable to City of Jurupa Valley. The purpose of the plan is to achieve and maintain both the national and state ambient air quality standards described above. In order to determine if a project is consistent with the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has established consistency criterion which are defined in Chapter 12, Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook and are discussed below. Consistency Criterion No. 1: The proposed project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations or delay the timely 2 http://www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality/clean-air-plans/air-quality-mgt-plan
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.6 Air Quality Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 20
attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan. Consistency Criterion No. 1 refers to violations of the California Ambient Air Quality Standards and National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The 2017 General Plan FEIR found the General Plan Land Use consistent with AQMP. The proposed project does not Accordingly, the Project is determined to be consistent with the first criterion. Consistency Criterion No. 2: The proposed project will not exceed the assumptions in the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan. Consistency with 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) The SCAQMD adopted the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) in March 2017. The growth assumptions used in the AQMP to project future air quality emissions levels are based on the projections of the Regional Transportation Model utilized by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), which incorporates land use data provided by lead agency general plan documentation, as well as assumptions regarding population number, location of population growth, and a regional housing needs assessment. When the 2016 RTP/SCS and the 2016 AQMP were prepared, the General Plan Land Use designation for the Project site was Light Agriculture (A1), and this was the land use incorporated into the 2016 AQMP. This second AQMP consistency criterion requires that the proposed Project does not exceed the growth assumptions in the AQMP. The Project site is currently designated in the City General Plan as Business Park (BP) and City zoning as MS-C (Manufacturing Service -Commercial) . This designation allows a variety of employee intensive uses, including research and development, technology centers, corporate offices, clean industry, and supporting retail uses with a FAR of 0.25 to 0.60, that would generate employment but would not directly generate any housing or population growth. A General Plan Amendment and a Change of Zone are being proposed to change the land use/zoning designations of this property to Commercial Retail (C-R) with a zoning of as C-P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial), which would allow for development of local- and regional- serving retail and service uses with a FAR of 0.20 to 0.35. Currently, forecasts indicate that the SCAG region will experience a population growth of 7 percent between 2012 and 2023, with a 7 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and a population growth of 12 percent by the year 2031 with an 8 percent increase in VMT.3 Consistency with Forecasted Emissions Air emissions are categorized into the following categories: Stationary Sources: Stationary sources can be divided into two major subcategories: Point and Area sources. Point sources primarily consist of permitted facilities with one or more 3 P 3-18
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.6 Air Quality Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 21
emission sources at an identified location (e.g., power plants, refineries). Area sources consist of many small emission sources (e.g., residential water heaters, architectural coatings, consumer products and permitted sources that are smaller than the above thresholds) which are distributed across the region and are not required to individually report their emissions. Typical stationary emissions sources result primarily from the combustion of fuels, evaporation of solvents or fuels, and processing of materials. Hence, stationary sources are grouped under fuel combustion, waste disposal, cleaning and surface coatings, petroleum production and marketing, industrial processes, solvent evaporation, and other miscellaneous processes. Mobile Sources: Mobile sources consist of two subcategories: on-road sources and off-road sources. On-road sources are primarily passenger cars, trucks, and buses. Off-road sources are locomotives, ocean going vessels, commercial harbor craft, pleasure craft and off- highway Recreational Vehicles, cargo handling equipment, farm equipment and aircraft. 4. Under the current land use designation of Business Park, the primary emissions sources would be primarily from passenger car traffic. Under the proposed land use of Commercial Retail, the emissions sources would not change from passenger cars. With respect to air emissions, a development at the maximum floor area ratio on the site would have an overall decrease in emissions because it would generate less passenger car vehicle trips, which are a major source of emissions. As such, the Project would not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, delay the timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the Final 2016 AQMP. Consistency with 2022 AQMP The Draft 2022 AQMP has been prepared by SCAQMD and has been released for public review but has not yet been finalized or is under public review and is anticipated to be considered for adoption by either the SCAQMD o rand CARB as of the time of this writing in September 2022. Although the Project is not required to demonstrate consistency with the 2022 AQMP because it has not been adopted, the following analysis is provided for informational purposes in light of the probability it will be adopted in the near future. The Draft 2022 AQMP builds upon measures already in place from previous AQMPs and includes a variety of additional proposed strategies such as regulation, accelerated deployment of available cleaner technologies (e.g., zero emission technologies, when cost-effective and feasible, and low NOx technologies in other applications), best management practices, co-benefits from existing programs (e.g., climate and energy efficiency), incentives, and other CAA measures to achieve the 2015 8-hour ozone standard, which is the most stringent standard to date. The SCAG region is diverse and large, and the types and classifications of land use used by one jurisdiction often differ from those used by another. The result is that there are many different land 4 2016 AQMP, p. 3-2, 3-6.
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.6 Air Quality Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 22
use types and classifications that SCAG must organize for its own analyses. Given the number of square miles the SCAG region encompasses, SCAG developed a simplified series of Land Development Categories (LDCs) to represent the dominant themes taken from the region’s many General Plans. This was developed in order to facilitate regional modeling of land use information from nearly 200 distinct jurisdictions. The LDCs employed in the RTP/SCS are not intended to represent detailed land use policies, but are used to describe the general conditions likely to occur within a specific area if recently emerging trends, such as transit-oriented development, were to continue in concert with the implementation of the 2016 RTP/SCS. SCAG then classified the Place Types into three LDCs. The agency used these categories to describe the general conditions that exist and/or are likely to exist within a specific area. They reflect the varied conditions of buildings and roadways, transportation options, and the mix of housing and employment throughout the region. The three LDCs that SCAG used are: 1. Urban: These areas are often found within and directly adjacent to moderate and high-density urban centers. Nearly all urban growth in these areas would be considered infill or redevelopment. The majority of housing is multifamily and attached single-family (townhome), which tend to consume less water and energy than the larger types found in greater proportion in less urban locations. These areas are supported by high levels of regional and local transit service. They have well-connected street networks, and the mix and intensity of uses result in a highly walkable environment. These areas offer enhanced access and connectivity for people who choose not to drive or do not have access to a vehicle. 2. Compact: These areas are less dense than those in the Urban LDC, but they are highly walkable with a rich mix of retail, commercial, residential, and civic uses. These areas are most likely to occur as new growth on the urban edge, or as large-scale redevelopment. They have a rich mix of housing, from multifamily and attached single-family (townhome) to small- and medium lot single-family homes. These areas are well served by regional and local transit service, but they may not benefit from as much service as urban growth areas and are less likely to occur around major multimodal hubs. Streets in these areas are well connected and walkable, and destinations such as schools, shopping and entertainment areas can typically be reached by walking, biking, taking transit, or with a short auto trip. 3. Standard: These areas comprise the majority of separate-use, auto-oriented developments that have characterized the American suburban landscape for decades. Densities in these areas tend to be lower than those in the Compact LDC, and they are generally not highly mixed. Medium- and larger-lot single-family homes comprise the majority of this development form. Standard areas are not typically well served by regional transit service, and most trips are made by automobile.

According to Exhibit 29, Forecasted Regional Development Types by Land Development Categories (2012)-Western Riverside County, the City of Jurupa Valley is classified as being within the Standard LDC.5 The general plan or zone change amendment does not result in the site being considered as being in the Urban or Compact LDC for purposes of growth projections used for modeling air quality emission assumptions in the 2022 AQMP. As such, the Project is consistent with the growth projections in City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and is considered to be consistent with the 2022 AQMP. Buildout of the Project is consistent with the Standard LDC and would not be greater than assumed by SCAG’s regional forecast projections and also the AQMP growth projections. In order to exceed the growth assumptions, the Project would have to increase the intensity of development to the degree it would result in the entire city to be reclassified to the Urban or Compact LDC. As such, the Project is consistent with the growth projections in City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and is considered to be consistent with the proposed 2022 AQMP. Construction Emissions The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions do not authorize any development or other land-altering activity that could result in construction-related emissions. Potential emissions due to future construction activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site-specific air quality and GHG emissions studies and mitigation measures recommended as appropriate. This will occur in the project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate potentially significant air quality and GHG impacts o f the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update. Operational Emissions The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions do not authorize any development or other land-altering activity that could result in operational-related emissions. Potential emissions due to future operational activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site-specific air quality and GHG emissions studies and mitigation measures recommended as appropriate. This will occur in the project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate potentially significant air quality and GHG impacts o f the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update. 5 https://planning.lacity.org/odocument/2a7e374a-5c53-4db8-8ea1-a75f12a73b31/Appendix_L_SCAGs_2016- 2040_RTP_SCS_Background_Documentation.pdf

Consistency with Control Measures The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) maintains a set of Rules & Regulations to improve and maintain healthy air quality for the entire population within its jurisdiction. When developing new regulations, the SCAQMD must comply with complex procedures established by statutes in federal and state codes. The following are some of the Rules that would apply to future construction of residential development. Rule 201 Permit to Construct A person shall not build, erect, install, alter, or replace any equipment, the use of which may cause the issuance of air contaminants or the use of which may eliminate, reduce or control the issuance of air contaminants without first obtaining written authorization for such construction from the Air Pollution Control Officer. A permit to construct shall remain in effect until the permit to operate the equipment for which the application was filed is granted or denied, or the application is canceled. Rule 203 Permit to Operate A person shall not operate or use any equipment, the use of which may cause the issuance of air contaminants or the use of which may reduce or control the issuance of air contaminants, without first obtaining a written permit from the Air Pollution Control Office. The equipment shall not be operated contrary to the conditions specified in the permit to operate. Rule 204 Permit Conditions To assure compliance with all applicable regulations, the Air Pollution Control Officer may impose written conditions on any permit. Commencing work or operation under such a permit shall be deemed acceptance of all the conditions so specified. Rule 401 Visible Emissions. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any air contaminant for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour which is: (A) As dark or darker in shade as that designated No. 1 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of Mines; or (B) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than does smoke described in subparagraph (b)(1)(A) of this rule. Rule 402 Nuisance. A person 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 natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property.

Rule 403 Fugitive Dust Control The purpose of this rule is to reduce the amount of PM10 entrained in the ambient air from anthropogenic Fugitive Dust sources within the District by requiring actions to prevent, reduce, or mitigate Fugitive Dust. Rule 1113 Architectural Coatings. The purpose of this rule is to limit the quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in Architectural Coatings. Projects within the City are required to comply with the SCAQMD rules, regulations, and control measures; therefore, the Project is consistent with Criterion 1. Consistency with Growth Forecasts The SCAQMD’s Attainment Plans are based on several assumptions, of which population may be one of the factors. Factors used to generate emission projections may include, for example, the number of days an air quality standard is exceeded, the number and type of stationary sources (e.g., types of industries) the condition of roadways (e.g., paved or unpaved), the amount of construction and demolition activity, vehicle miles traveled, and meteorology. The California Air Resources Board (CARB), also disseminates the following types of Emissions Data for use by Air Districts for preparing Attainment Plans: ▪ Annual Statewide Emissions Summaries for mobile, stationary, and areawide. ▪ Facility Emissions Data for individual facility emissions by region, industrial sector, or name. ▪ Regional Emission Summaries for the state, air districts, air basins, counties, and by neighborhood. ▪ Neighborhood Emissions Data mapping with the Community Health Air Pollution Information System and Regional Emission Summaries. ▪ Trends in Emissions for historical data and future years. As such, a project would result in development that results in greater than anticipated growth projections, would not necessarily result in an inconsistency that may obstruct or conflict with the SCAQMD Attainment Plans based on an increase in population. 3.6 (c) Sensitive Receptors The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and related implementing actions would not authorize any specific construction; however, future development projects constructed pursuant to land use policies could potentially expose sensitive receptors to temporary, localized pollutant concentrations in excess of air quality standards, even if the broader region is in attainment. Examples include emissions of fugitive dust and vehicle and machinery exhaust during large-scale grading activities and roadway construction. Under limited circumstances, large-scale construction activities could result in emissions of fugitive dust, nitrogen oxides, and other criteria pollutants that could exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds of significance and thereby could result in a significant impact. Emissions of fugitive dust near sensitive receptors are a primary concern because, unlike gaseous pollutants that quickly rise and affect the upper atmosphere, particulate matter tends to remain close to the ground.
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.6 Air Quality Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 26
Pursuant to CEQA and implementation of the SCAQMD Rule Book, individual development projects will be assessed to determine if potential emissions could impact sensitive receptors or otherwise violate air quality rules. Such analyses will include project-specific mitigation measures, as appropriate. Furthermore, future construction activities will be subject to routine control measures as required by SCAQMD (including but limited to Rules 402, 403, and 1113). It should be noted that SCAQMD provides guidance regarding analysis of localized criteria pollutant impacts through the use of Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs); therefore, future construction projects will be assessed for localized criteria pollutant impacts. as part of the environmental review process. 3.6 (d) Odors Land uses that have the potential to generate substantial odor complaints include wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, composting facilities, confined animal facility, and food manufacturing and chemical plants. The City has designated zoning for industrial development, primarily to accommodate warehousing, manufacturing, and other light industrial land uses. These developments would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402. However, additional measures may be necessary to prevent an odor nuisance. Therefore, land uses associated with the 2017 General Plan may generate a potentially significant odor impact to a substantial number of people. Future industrial development associated with the proposed Land Use and Zoning Map Updates would involve minor odor-generating activities, such as lawn mower exhaust, application of exterior paints for building improvement, and cooking odors (e.g., restaurants). However, unlike industrial land uses, these land uses are not considered potential generators of odor that could affect a substantial number of people. Therefore, impacts from potential odors generated from commercial land uses associated with the General Plan are considered less than significant. During construction activities, construction equipment exhaust and application of asphalt and architectural coatings would temporarily generate odors. Any construction-related odor emissions would be temporary and intermittent in nature. Additionally, noxious odors would be confined to the immediate vicinity of the construction equipment. By the time such emissions reach any sensitive receptor sites, they would be diluted to well below any level of air quality concern. Furthermore, short-term construction-related odors are expected to cease upon the drying or hardening of the odor-producing materials. Therefore, impacts associated with construction- generated odors are considered less than significant 3.6.6 New Additional Mitigation Measures As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to air quality were determined to be less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.6 Air Quality Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 27
No substantial changes in the environment related to air quality will occur with the land use changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required. 3.6.7 Conclusion Development in the City has the potential to impact air quality. Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Map Update changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to air quality that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR. The General Plan and related implementing actions established goals and policies for future development throughout the Project Area. The Land Use and Zoning Maps Update does not authorize any site-specific land altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current air quality. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies. The purpose of the Project is to correct inconsistency with the existing land use on the site. The City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application. Change of Zone 22004 and General Plan Land Use Plan Amendment 22008 will correct the inconsistency with the existing land uses of the shopping center and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center. As such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on air quality that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.7.1 Summary of 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions 3.7.A Endangered and Threatened Species: The City contains habitat for several listed species and additional sensitive species, especially associated with the Santa Ana River and the Jurupa Hills. Future development will have to evaluate site-specific impacts and provide mitigation. The General Plan land use plan is sensitive to the biological constraints of the resource agencies and the County’s MSHCP. Candidate, Non-listed Sensitive, or Special-Status Species: Future development may impact sensitive species, but the policies in the General Plan require developers to provide studies evaluating impacts on these species and recommending appropriate project-level mitigation. 3.7.B The City contains riparian and other sensitive habitat, mainly along the Santa Ana River and its tributaries. General Plan policies require protection Proposed Plan would affect

riparian habitat through the discharge of water from drainage facilities into adjacent waters The City does contain jurisdictional drainages and is within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana RWQCB. Under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the RWQCB must certify that the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States does not violate Federal, State, and local water quality standards. 3.7.C The City does contain jurisdictional drainages and is within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana RWQCB. Under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the RWQCB must certify that the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States does not violate Federal, State, and local water quality standards. 3.7.D Wildlife moves along the Santa Ana River and the Jurupa Hills, but future development would not be expected to fragment habitat or restrict wildlife movement as long as the policies of the General Plan in this regard are implemented. 3.7.E The City’s 2017 General Plan policies relative to biological resources are consistent with the County General Plan, Jurupa Area Plan, and the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) for western Riverside County. 3.7.F The City’s 2017 General Plan policies relative to biological resources are consistent with the County’s Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) for western Riverside County. 3.7.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts There are no unavoidable adverse impacts. 3.7.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies CO 2.1 The County will coordinate with state and federal agencies and departments to ensure that their programs to preserve rare and endangered species and protect areas of special habitat value, as well as conserve populations and habitats of commonly occurring species, are reflected in reviews and approvals of development programs. COS 1.1.1 Habitat Conservation. Conserve key habitats, including existing wetlands and California native plant communities, with a focus on protecting and restoring the following endangered species habitats: A. Conserve alluvial fan sage scrub associated with the Santa Ana River to support key populations of Santa Ana River woolly-star (Eriastrum densifolium, ssp. sanctorum). B. Conserve clay soils to support key populations of Many-Stemmed Live-Forever plants (Dudleya multicaulis) known to occur along the Jurupa Valley portion of the Santa Ana River.
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.7 Biological Resources Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 30
C. Conserve known populations of Least Bell’s Vireo (Vireo bellii ssp. pusillus) and southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii ssp. extimus) along the Santa Ana River. D. Conserve large intact habitat areas consisting of coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grasslands to support known locations of Coastal California Gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica). E. Conserve grassland and coastal sage scrub supporting known populations of San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys merriami ssp. parvus) in the Jurupa Mountains. F. Conserve grasslands adjacent to sage scrub for foraging habitat for raptors. COS 1.1.2 Protection of Significant Trees. Protect and preserve significant trees, as determined by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Significant trees are those trees that make substantial contributions to natural habitat or to the urban landscape due to their species, size, or rarity. In particularly, California native trees are protected. COS 1.1.3 Other Significant Vegetation. Maintain and conserve superior examples of agricultural windrows, street trees, stands of mature native and non-native trees, and other features of ecological, aesthetic, and conservation value. COS 2.1.1 MSHCP Implementation. Implement provisions of the MSHCP when conducting review of development applications, General Plan amendments/Zoning changes transportation or other infrastructure projects that are covered activities in the MSHCP. COS 2.1.2 Wildlife Corridors. Identify and maintain a continuous wildlife corridor along the City’s northern boundary through the Jurupa Mountains and along the Santa Ana River from the northern boundary to the City’s western boundary. Condition development approvals to ensure important corridors for wildlife movement and dispersal are protected. Features of particular importance to wildlife include riparian corridors, wetlands, streams, springs and protected natural areas with cover and water. Linkages and corridors shall be provided to maintain connections between habitat areas. COS 2.1.3 Biological Reports. For development projects with the potential to affect adversely wildlife habitat and that require discretionary approvals, require the preparation of biological reports to assess the impacts of such development and provide mitigation for impacts to biological resources. COS 3.1.6 Landscaping with Native Plants. Encourage the use of California Native Plants for drought-resistant landscape planting.

3.7.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan FEIR determined that impacts related to biological resources were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified. 3.7.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis 3.7 (a) Endangered and Threatened Species / 3.9 (b) Riparian and Other Sensitive Communities The Project Area consists of current commercial development and vacant land with opportunity to support native wildlife or special status species. The City is a permittee of the Riverside County Multiple-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and must thereby comply with the reserve assembly provisions as well as the provisions in Sections 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.3.2, of the MSHCP for projects proposed within the City. The implementation of the MSHCP at the project-specific level would minimize direct and indirect species impacts of future projects proposed in accordance with the General Plan. Implementation of the General Plan goals, policies, and programs as future development occurs will help ensure that potential impacts to listed species within the City will be less than significant. The 2017 GP FEIR states that the most important policies in this regard will be protection of listed species (Policy COS 1.1.1), implementation of the MSHCP (Policy COS 2.1.1), and preparing biological reports to identify and protect site-specific resources (Policy COS 2.1.3 Additionally, payment of the mitigation fee and compliance with all applicable requirements of the MSHCP provides full mitigation under California Environmental Quality Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Endangered Species Act, and California Endangered Species Act for impacts to MSHCP-covered species and habitats. The MSHCP also addresses indirect impacts through cores and linkages, criteria cells, and MSHCP fees. Impacts to MSHCP-covered species would be potentially significant without mitigation. Potential impacts to special status species and their habitats caused by future development provided for by the Project will be less than significant with implementation of existing policies and programs. 3.7 (c) Jurisdictional Waters or Resources Project implementation may directly and indirectly affect State and Federal protected waters. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires an applicant to obtain certification for any activity that may result in a discharge of a pollutant into waters of the United States. As a result, proposed fill in waters and wetlands require coordination with the appropriate state Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) that administers Section 401 and provides certification. The RWQCB also plays a role in review of water quality and wetland issues, including avoidance and minimization of
3.0 Environmental Checklist for GPA22008 & CZ22004 3.7 Biological Resources Jurupa Valley Land Use and Zoning Maps Update – January 2023 Page | 32
impacts. Section 401 certification is required prior to the issuance of a Section 404 permit, as discussed below. Under Section 404 of the CWA the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) has jurisdiction over “Wetlands” and “Waters of the United States.” Permitting of activities that could discharge fill or dredge materials or otherwise adversely modify wetlands or other waters of the United States and associated habitat is required. Permits authorized by ACOE under the Act typically involve mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts on wetlands and other waters of the United States in a manner that achieves no net loss of wetland acres or values. If development is in wetland areas, state and federal laws and regulations would be implemented to protect resources from development through the Corps Section 404 permitting process, the California Wetlands Conservation Policy, and compliance with applicable MSHCP policies. The California Wetlands ConservationPolicy is intended to ensure no net loss of wetlands occurs within the State. Additionally, wetlands are protected under Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP , which outlines the requirements and protection of riparian areas and/or vernal pools. Future development projects would comply with conditions of any required permits from RWQCB, Corps, and CDFW, and provisions of the MSHCP. The proposed Project includes General Plan Policy COS 2.1.3, which requires that a qualified biologist survey the areas to be impacted for future projects to determine impacts to hydrological features. With implementation of General Plan Policy COS 2.1.3, impacts will be less than significant. 3.7 (d) Wildlife Corridors The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions do not include any land use policies or circulation changes that could fragment or impede local or migratory wildlife corridors. There are no wildlife nurseries in the Project Area. No impacts will occur. 3.7 (e & f) Conflicts with a Local Policies or other Conservation Plans Local Polices or Ordinances 2017 General Plan, specifically Policies COS 2.1.1 and 2.1.3, require future development to be consistent with the MSHCP and provide assessments of onsite biological resources. With implementation of these policies, potential impacts of future development on adopted habitat conservation plans will be less than significant, and no mitigation is needed

3.7.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures No substantial changes in the environment related to biological resources will occur with the land use and zoning map changes that would lead to more significant impacts the new mitigation measure required. 3.7.7 Conclusion Development in the City has the potential to impact biological resources. At a programmatic level, the City requires all future development to protect biological resources. Implementing existing Programs and Policies as well as required regulations will ensure the protection of biological resources to be mitigated to less than significant levels. Given required compliance with local and state regulations and implementation of the proposed Implementing Programs, impacts associated with development supported by the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions will be less than significant. The Land Use and Zoning Maps Update does not authorize any site-specific land altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current biological resources. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the 2017 General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies. The purpose of the Project is to correct inconsistency with the existing land use on the site. The City would be inconsistent with State Planning and Zoning laws if it were to approve a new discretionary land use application. Change of Zone 22004 and General Plan Land Use Plan Amendment 22008 will correct the inconsistency with the existing land uses of the shopping center and increase the financial viability of the existing shopping center. As such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on biological resources that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

COS 7.1.8 Native American Monitoring. Include Native American participation in the City's guidelines for resource assessment and impact mitigation. Native American representatives should be present during archaeological excavation and during construction in an area likely to contain cultural resources. The Native American community shall be consulted as knowledge of cultural resources expands and as the City considers updates or significant changes to its General Plan. COS 7.1.9 Archaeological Resources Mitigation. Require a mitigation plan to protect resources when a preliminary site survey finds substantial archaeological resources before permitting construction. Possible mitigation measures include presence of a qualified professional during initial grading or trenching; project redesign; covering with a layer of fill; excavation, removal and curation in an appropriate facility under the direction of a qualified professional.

The following Mitigation Measures were included to reduce impacts to less than significant: Historical Resources Mitigation Measure: Prior to issuance of a demolition permit for any structure older than 45 years at the time of application and according to City building records or other official

documentation, a project applicant shall provide an historical assessment of the structure prepared by a qualified professional (i.e., certified historian or architectural historian) with a determination whether the structure represents a significant historical resource according to Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The assessment shall include contact with a local historical society regarding the structure’s potential local significance. If the structure is determined to not be historic or potentially historic, either at a state or local level, the structure may be demolished without further documentation. If the structure is not historic on a state level but has local historical significance, the structure may be demolished with City Council approval, provide that the property is photo-recorded and archived prior to demolition. If the structure has state historical significance, the project historian shall prepare a preservation plan which shall address in-place or onsite preservation, relocation to an appropriate offsite location, or demolition only if it can be clearly demonstrated that preservation in place is not physically, or structurally feasible. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Planning Department. Paleontological Resources Mitigation Measure: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a project applicant must demonstrate if the proposed project grading will impact underlying soil units or geologic formations that have a moderate to high potential to yield fossiliferous materials. If the potential for fossil discovery is low, no pre-grading monitoring needs to be established. If the potential for fossil discovery is moderate to high, the applicant must provide a paleontological monitor during rough grading of the project. If a paleontologist is not onsite and possible fossil materials are found, work shall be halted in that area until the material can be assessed by a qualified professional. If materials are found onsite during grading, a qualified professional shall evaluate the find and determine if it represents a significant paleontological resource. If the resource is determined to be significant, the paleontologist shall supervise removal of the material and determine the most appropriate archival storage of the material. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Planning Department. 3.8.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis 3.8 (a) Historical Resources Treatment of Historic Properties. Historic structures and sites that are eligible for National Register of Historic Resources listing may be vulnerable to development activities associated with buildout. Historical resources are buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts of significance in history, archaeology, architecture, and culture. These resources include intact structures of any type that are 50 years or more of age, which are sometimes called the built environment and can include, in addition to houses, structures such as irrigation works and engineering features. Historical resources are preserved because they provide a link to a region’s past and a frame of reference for a community. Often these sites are a source of pride for a city.

At the time development or redevelopment projects are proposed, the project-level CEQA document would need to identify impacts to known or potential historic sites and structures. The CEQA Guidelines require a project that will have potentially adverse impacts on historical resources to conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historical Properties. Implementation of the existing General Plan Policies included as part of the Land Use and Zoning Maps Update provides protection and preservation of Historical Resources, and impacts are less than significant. 3.8 (b) Archaeological Resources Long-term development and redevelopment, including grading, of sensitive areas could impact archaeological resources. Thus, there is a potential to uncover archaeological resources within the Project Area during development activities. The land within the City has the potential to yield archaeological resources or tribal cultural resources from past Native American activities. State regulations requires consultation with local Native American tribal groups under both SB 18 and AB 52. Implementation of the existing 2017 General Plan Policies along with Tribal Consultation provides protection and preservation of Archaeological Resources and impacts of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update are less than significant. 3.8 (c) Paleontological Resources There is a potential to uncover undiscovered paleontological resources as the City of Jurupa Valley. contains geologic formations known potentially to contain paleontological resources. Future development of vacant land throughout the City may uncover previously undiscovered fossiliferous materials, so this impact is potentially significant. With implementation of the identified policies, plus the regulatory requirements of the state, potential impacts to paleontological resources from future development within the Project Area will be reduced to less than significant levels. 3.8 (d) Disturbance of Human Remains Implementation of the Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would allow development and redevelopment, including grading, possibly disturbing human remains, including those outside of formal cemeteries. Existing regulations, including the California Public Resources Code §5097.98, Health and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code §21083.2 and CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(f) are required and would afford protection for human remains discovered during development activities. In addition, review and protection are afforded by CEQA for projects subject to discretionary action, particularly for activities that could potentially disturb human remains. AB 52 and SB 18 requires consultation regarding Native American sites and artifacts, but the potential for project-level impacts to unidentified and unrecorded tribal cultural places remains moderate to high. The excavation and grading activities of the proposed project could result in impacts to human

remains. However, Public Resources Code §5097.98, Health and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code §21083.2 and CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(f), mandates the process to be followed in the event of a discovery of any human remains. Impacts to human remains would be less than significant. Post 2017 General Plan FEIR Certification Thresholds Since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification, CEQA Guidelines Appendix G has been revised to include a new Tribal Cultural Resources threshold; refer to Section 3.21, Tribal Cultural Resources, for further discussion. 3.8.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures No substantial changes in the environment related to cultural resources with the land use and zoning map changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required. 3.8.7 Conclusion Development in the City has the potential to impact historic, archaeological, paleontological, and tribal cultural resources. At a programmatic level, the City requires all future development to protect cultural resources, including archaeological, historical, and paleontological materials or artifacts. Implementing existing Programs and Policies will ensure the protection of historic resources by requiring that a records search be performed prior to construction activities affecting historical resources and by requiring that impacts to historic resources be mitigated to less than significant levels. Given required compliance with local and state regulations and implementation of the proposed Implementing Programs, impacts associated with development supported by the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update and implementing actions will be less than significant. The existing General Plan policies, outlined above, will provide sufficient programmatic protection for undiscovered archaeological resources or artifacts that may be present within the City. Additionally, consultation and coordination with local Native American tribal representatives prior to grading for future development is a regulatory requirement, therefore impacts related to these resources will be reduced to less than significant levels, and no new mitigation is required. The proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update plans for but does not directly propose, the construction of new residential, commercial, or industrial development. Therefore, the proposed changes would not affect cultural resources. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning cultural resources has been discovered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, implementation of the proposed Land Use and Zoning Maps Update would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning cultural resources than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no new mitigation is required.

The 2017 General Plan FEIR contained an analysis of long-term effects that included Energy Conservation in section 5.4 and summarized below. In this case, the “project” is the proposed 2017 General Plan for the City, which will provide a framework for future land use changes and growth rather than act as a type of separate development project. Therefore, standard calculations and an assessment of the project’s level of energy conservation of consistency with energy conservation laws or regulations is inappropriate at this programmatic level. 3.9.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts There are no unavoidable adverse impacts identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR. 3.9.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies AQ 5.1.1 Reduce Solid Waste. Utilize source reduction, recycling, and other appropriate measures to reduce the amount of solid waste disposed of in landfills. AQ 5.1.2 Energy Conservation. Encourage advanced energy conservation techniques and the incorporation of energy-efficient design elements for private and public developments, including appropriate site orientation and the use of shade and windbreak trees to reduce fuel consumption for heating and cooling and offer incentives, as appropriate. COS 5.1.5 Energy Efficiency and Green Building. Encourage energy-efficient “green buildings” as certified by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Program or equivalent certification. COS 5.1.6 Energy Efficiency Incentives. Support standards and incentives that encourage developers, designers, and property owners to design, build, and operate buildings to achieve energy savings that exceed Title 24 requirements of the State Building Code.
