5.7.2.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Construction greenhouse gas emissions are taken to be proportional to grading area and total building area. Total building area would be approximately 3.5 percent lower in this alternative than in the proposed Project (see Table 5.7-2 above). The area graded would be very slightly less in this alternative than in the proposed Project; thus, grading effort would not differ substantially between the two scenarios. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable for both scenarios.
Nearly 75 percent of project greenhouse gas emissions would be from passenger cars and trucks.
Thus, operational GHG emissions are consider ed here to be proportional to trip generation. This alternative would increase trip generation by approximately 20 percent compared to the proposed Project (see Table 5.7- 3). Thus, operational GHG emissions are estimated to be increased by approximately 20 percent in this alternative compared to the proposed Project . Impacts would be significant and unavoidable for both scenarios.
5.7.2.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
This alternative and the proposed Project would each involve site clearance and grading of, and construction on, virtually the entire Project site . Therefore, construction hazardous materials impacts of this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed Project.
This alternative would inc lude commercial, storage, and residential uses. Storage uses may store substantial amounts of hazardous materials ; land use limitations for storage uses are to be determined. However, the use of hazardous materials in storage use areas is expected to be li mited to small amounts for cleaning and maintenance purposes. Residential uses would likewise utilize SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-34 June 2023
small quantities of hazardous materials for cleaning and maintenance purposes. The amounts of hazardous materials used by operation of this alternative would be slightly reduced by the deletion of industrial uses. Hazardous materials impacts of this alternative would be slightly reduced compared to the proposed Project and would be less than significant in both scenarios.
5.7.2.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
This a lternative and the proposed Project would each involve construction on nearly the entire Project site . Each scenario would involve implementation of construction BMPs to minimize construction water quality impacts. Neither scenario would exacerbate flood hazards. Hydrology and water quality impacts of each of the two scenarios would be similar and less than significant.
The storage uses in this alternative are expected to use fewer hazardous materials than the industrial uses in the proposed Project. Otherwise, the amounts and types of water pollutants are not expected to differ substantially between the two scenarios. Each of the two scenarios would include LID, source control, and treatment control BMPs. Hydrology and water quality impacts of this alternative would be slightly reduced compared to those of the proposed Project , and less than significant for both scenarios.
5.7.2.10 Land Use and Planning
This alternative would be a Specific Plan; the proposed land use types and intensities in this alternative would conform with City of Jurupa Valley general plan and zoning policies upon approval of the Specific Plan. The same is true of the proposed Project . Land use and planning impacts would be similar and less than significant in both scenarios.
5.7.2.11 Mineral Resources
The Project site was designated for development in 2005 with approval of the EMRSP. The California Geological Survey does not consider land designated for development to be available for mining. No mine is identified on or near the Project site in the City of Jurupa General Plan. Neither this alternative nor the proposed Project would cause a loss of availability of a mine identified by the City of Jurupa Valley. Therefore, neither this alternative nor the proposed Project would cause significant impacts to the availability of mineral resources. Impacts would be similar for both scenarios.
5.7.2.12 Noise
Onsite construction noise impacts of this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed Project. The construction effort under this alternative would be simi lar to that of the proposed Project.
Onsite operational noise impacts of this alternative would be somewhat reduced compared to those of the proposed Project . This alternative involves replacing industrial uses in the proposed Project with residential, storage, neighborhood commercial, and open space uses. Each of those uses would generate somewhat less noise than would the industrial uses they would replace. Impacts would be less than significant after mitigation in both scenarios.
Operational traffic noise impacts are assumed to be proportional to trip generation. Trip generation by this alternative would be increased by approximately 20 percent compared to that of the proposed SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-35 June 2023
Project, as shown above in Table 5.7-3. Traffic noise impacts would be increased by this alternative beyond the significant and unavoidable cumulative offsite roadway noise impact that would occur under the proposed Project.
5.7.2.13 Population and Housing
This alternative would add 525 additional housing units compared to the proposed Proj ect and would add 1,948 additional residents to the City of Jurupa Valley at the average household size in the City of 3.71 persons. Operation of this alternative is estimated to generate 2,994 jobs, as shown below in Table 5.7-5. Population and employment estimates for this alternative are each within regional projections for the City of Jurupa Valley. Population and housing impacts of this alternative would be similar for this alternative compared to those of the proposed Project and would be less than significant in both scenarios.

5.7.2.14 Public Services
Demands for public services are generated by the population in the agencies’ service areas except for police and fire protect ion, which are generated by the population plus the total building area. This alternative would add approximately 6,385 persons to the city of Jurupa Valley based on the average household size of 3.71 persons. This alternative would substitute 525 resident ial units, 750,000 square feet of storage uses, and 10 acres of neighborhood commercial uses for 1.5 million square feet of industrial uses; the difference in total building area would be minor. This alternative would SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-36 June 2023
generate slight increases in demands f or public services due to the increase in population. As with the proposed Project , with implementation of PPPs 4.14 -4 through 4.14 -7 and Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Chapter 3.75, impacts to fire, police, parks, and library facilities would be less than significant. Impacts would be similar between the two scenarios.
Regarding impacts to school facilities, student generation for this alternative would be proportional to the number of housing units. This alternative is estimated to generate 1,202 students, that is, 369 more than the 833 the proposed Project is estimated to generate. As with the proposed Project , payment of school impact fees is considered complete mitigation for impacts to school facilities.
Impacts would be less than significant for each of the two scenarios.
5.7.2.15 Recreation
This alternative would add approximately 6,385 persons to the city of Jurupa Valley. At the City’s standard of three acres of parkland per 1,000 population this alternative would generate demand for approximately 19.2 acres o f parkland. This alternative would include 12.2 acres of open space, leaving a remaining need for approximately seven acres of parkland. As with the proposed Project , this alternative would be required to dedicate parkland and/or pay in-lieu fees for acquisition and/or improvement of parkland pursuant to Jurupa Valley Municipal Code § 7.25.020. Impacts would be slightly reduced in this alternative compared to those of the proposed Project, and would be less than significant for both scenarios.
5.7.2.16 Transportation
Construction transportation impacts are taken here to vary total building area. Total building area for this alternative would be approximately 3.5 percent less than that of the proposed Project .
Construction transportation impacts of this alternative w ould be very slightly reduced compared to those of the proposed Project.
This alternative would retain the regional retail uses that generate the significant and unavoidable VMT impact of the proposed Project . Therefore, VMT impacts of this alternative would also be significant and unavoidable.
5.7.2.17 Tribal Cultural Resources
This alternative, as with the proposed Project, would involve grading and construction on nearly the entire Project site. Tribal cultural resources could be present in site soils and could be damaged by soil disturbance during construction. Implementation of mitigation measure CUL-1, CUL-2 and TCR- 1 would reduce these impacts to less than significant; likewise for the proposed Project . Impacts of this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed Project.
5.7.2.18 Utilities and Service Systems
Operational utility demands of this alternative are estimated here based on service population (numbers of residents plus workers) compared to those of the proposed Project . The service population of this alternative would be 6,385 residents plus 2,994 workers for a total of 9,379. The service population of the proposed Project would be 4,422 residents plus 3,241 workers for a total of 7,663. The difference in service population, 1, 716, is approximately 22 percent of that for the proposed Project. Utilities demands from operation of this alternative, therefore, are estimated at SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-37 June 2023
approximately 22 percent greater than those of the proposed Project . Impacts would be less than significant for each of the two scenarios.
5.7.3 Comparison of Alternative 4 to the Proposed Project Implementation of the Reduced Industrial Uses Alternative would slightly reduce impacts to aesthetics, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and onsite operational noise compared to impacts of the proposed Project.
This alternative would create similar impacts to biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, land use, mineral resources, construction noise, population and housing, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems compared to impacts of the proposed Project.
This alternative would generate slightly increased impacts to air quality, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, offsite roadway noise, public services, and utilities compared to those of the proposed Project.
5.7.4 Relationship of the Alternative to Project Objectives The Reduced Industrial Uses Alternative would achieve all of the objectives of the proposed Project as described in subsection 5.1.3.
5.8 Analysis of Alternative 5: No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative
5.8.1 Description of Alternative
In this alternative , all of the commercial, business park, and industrial uses in the Specific Plan (totaling 177 acres) are replaced with open space. The types of open space uses are undetermined but could include passive (natural) open space and/or a sports park. Commercial open space, such as a golf course, is not envisioned as part of this alternative. All of the open space would be developed in Phase 2 of this alternative, as would the open space in the proposed Specific Plan (Gorham, 2023).
See Table 5.8-1 below. This alternative is intended to reduce the significant and unavoidable VMT and air quality impacts of the proposed Project.

5.8.2 Environmental Impacts
5.8.2.1 Aesthetics
Impacts of this alternative on scenic vistas would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project. In this alternative 75 percent of the Project site would be designated open space. Structures would be limited to the 41.6 acres of residential development and ancillary structures within open space areas.
Impacts of this alternative on visual character would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project. This analysis assumes that most of the existing visual resources onsite —such as trees— would remain.
Operational light and glare impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project. Approximately 75 percent of the site would be designated as open space. While some of that area may be active recreational facilities that may include field and court lighting, most of the open space is assumed to be natural open space and/or passive recreational areas without night lighting.
5.8.2.2 Air Quality
Construction emissions depend on construction effort including the proportion of the site graded and the total building area. This alternative would involve grading 63.2 acres, that is, approximately 25 percent of the Project site . Total building area for this alternative is estimated at approximately 1 .2 million square feet, that is, approximately 3 million square feet – or 72 percent – less than the proposed Project, as shown below in Table 5.8-2. This alternative would decrease construction air pollutant emissions.

Overall operational emissions are considered proportional to trip generation. Operation of this alternative is estimated to generate approximately 6,829 trips per day, that is, a reduction of 28,187 trips or 80.5 percent compared to the proposed Project. Operational emissions would be reduced by this alternative. The criteria pollutant emission by the proposed Project that is greatest compared to the threshold amount for that pollutant is nitrogen oxides (NO x); mitigated NOx emissions at project buildout would be 290.82 pounds per day compared to the threshold of 55 pounds per day. Emissions would be approximately 5.3 times the threshold. Thus, emissions would need to be reduced by approximately 81 percent to bring mitigated NO
x emissions below the significance threshold. The
percentage reduction in vehicle trips (80.5 percent) would be sufficient to reduce operational criteria emissions impacts of this alternative to less than significant , and would avoid the significant and unavoidable air quality impact that would occur under the proposed Project.

5.8.2.3 Biological Resources
The biological resources impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project. Under this alternative 75 percent of the site would be designated open space; it is assumed here that most of that area would be natural open space or passive recreational areas.
5.8.2.4 Cultural Resources
Neither this alternative nor the proposed Project would cause impacts on historical resources, and impacts would be similar for both scenarios. This alternative would reduce impacts on archaeological resources compared to those of the proposed Project , as 75 percent of the site would be designated open space and most of that area would not be developed. Impacts would be less than significant without mitigation in each of the two scenarios.
5.8.2.5 Energy
Construction energy use, taken to be proportional to total building area, would be approximately 72 percent lower in this alternative than in the proposed Project (see Table 5.8-2 above).
Operation of this alternative would decrease electricity and natural gas demands, as shown below in Table 5.8-4. This alternative would also decrease operational transportation fuels use, taken to be SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-40 June 2023
proportional to vehicle trip generation, by approximately 80 percent (see Table 5.8 -3 above).
Overall, operational energy use by this alternative would be much lower than that of the proposed Project and would be less than significant in both scenarios.

5.8.2.6 Geology and Soils
This alternative consists of development of approximately 25 percent of the Project site . In each of the two scenarios development would not exacerbate existing seismic hazards or hazards related to unstable soils. Impacts would be similar, and less than significant, for each of the two scenarios.
Regarding impacts on paleontological resources, ground disturbance may be to somewhat shallower depths in this alternative, as the maximum allowable building height for multifamily residences would be 50 feet compared to 75 feet for industrial and some commercial uses. Fossils are likely present in site soils at depths of 15 feet or greater. Impacts of this alternative on paleontological resources would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project, and would be less than significant after mitigation in both scenarios.
5.8.2.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Construction greenhouse gas emissions are taken to be proportional to grading area and to total building area. Total building area would be approximately 72 percent lower in this alternative than in the proposed Project (see Table 5.8-2 above). The area graded would be approximately 75 percent less in this alternative than in the proposed Project. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable for both scenarios.
Nearly 75 percent of project greenhouse gas emissions would be from passenger cars and trucks.
Thus, operational GHG emissions are estimated here to be proportional to trip generation. This alternative would decrease trip generation by approximately 80 percent compared to the proposed Project (see Table 5.8-3 ). Thus, operational GHG emissions are estimated to be decreased by approximately 80 percent in this alternative compared to the proposed Project. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable for both scenarios.
5.8.2.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Construction hazardous materials impacts of this alternative would be reduced in this alternative due to the reduced development footprint compared to the proposed Project. SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-41 June 2023
The residential uses in this alternative would likely u tilize hazardous materials for cleaning and maintenance purposes and in smaller quantities than would be used by commercial and industrial uses in the proposed Project . Hazardous materials impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to the proposed Project and would be less than significant in both scenarios.
5.8.2.9 Hydrology and Water Quality
This alternative would involve a much smaller development footprint than the proposed Project would. Each scenario would involve implementation of construction BMPs to minimize construction water quality impacts. Neither scenario would exacerbate flood hazards. Hydrology and water quality impacts would be reduced in this alternative compared to the proposed Project.
Development of this alternative is expected to generate fewer pollutants that could contaminate stormwater due to both the dramatically reduced development footprint and the types of land uses to be developed (residential and open space only in this alternative, whereas the proposed Project would also include commercial and industrial uses that would be expected to generate more pollutants per acre than residential uses would). Hydrology and water quality impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project, and less than significant for both scenarios.
5.8.2.10 Land Use and Planning
This alternative would be a Specific Plan; the proposed land use types and intensities in this alternative would conform with City of Jurupa Valley general plan and zoning policies upon approval of the Specific Plan. The same is true of the proposed Project . Land use and planning impacts would be similar and less than significant in both scenarios.
5.8.2.11 Mineral Resources
The Project site was designated for development in 2005 with approval of the EMRSP. The California Geological Survey does not consider land designated for development to be available for mining. No mine is identified on or near the Project site in the City of Jurupa General Plan. Neither this alternative nor the proposed Project would cause a loss of availability of a mine identified by the City of Jurupa Valley. Therefore, neither this alternative nor the proposed Project would cause significant impacts to the availability of mineral resources. Impacts would be similar for both scenarios.
5.8.2.12 Noise
Onsite construction noise impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project due to the smaller development footprint and reduced development intensity.
Onsite operational noise impacts of this alternative woul d be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project . Proposed project impacts arising from onsite stationary noise sources would require mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant. It is expected that impacts of this alternative would be less than significant without mitigation due to the deletion of the more noise - intensive uses (industrial and commercial) in the proposed Project.
Operational traffic noise impacts are assumed to be proportional to trip generation. Trip generation by this alt ernative would be decreased by approximately 80 percent compared to that of the SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-42 June 2023
proposed Project, as shown above in Table 5.8-3. Traffic noise impacts would be decreased by this alternative and would therefore avoid the significant and unavoidable cumulati ve offsite roadway noise impact that would occur under the proposed Project.
5.8.2.13 Population and Housing
This alternative would consist of development of 1,196 housing units estimated to house 4,422 persons at buildout. This alternative would not generate employment (indirect employment arising from operation of the residences is not addressed here, and we have no generation factor to estimate such employment). The estimated population increase is within the regional projection for the City of Jurupa Valley, and would thus not be a significant impact. Population and housing impacts would be slightly greater for this alternative than for the proposed Project in that this alternative omits employment-generating uses to accompany the proposed residential development . Impacts would be less than significant in both scenarios.
5.8.2.14 Public Services
This alternative would generate smaller impacts than the proposed Project would regarding demands for fire and police facilities. Demands for such facilities are generated by the populations and total building area within the agencies’ service areas, and this alternative omits all of the commercial, industrial, and business park uses of the proposed Project (totaling approximately 3 million square feet). This alternative would have the same impacts as the proposed Project on demands for schools, parks, and libraries. Demands for parks and libraries are determined by the population within the facilities’ service areas, and demands for schools are based on the number of households within the schools’ service areas. This alternative would involve development of the same number of residential units—1,196—as would the proposed Project . Public services impacts would be less than significant for each of the two scenarios.
5.8.2.15 Recreation
Development of this alternative would cause the same impacts on recreational facilities as the proposed Project would. Such impacts are generated by the populations in the facilities’ service areas, and this alternative would involve development of the same numbe r of residential units, 1,196, as the proposed Project. Impacts would be less than significant for each of the two scenarios.
5.8.2.16 Transportation
Construction transportation impacts would be reduced compared with impacts of the proposed Project due to the greatly reduced grading quantity and total building area. This alternative would omit the regional retail uses that would generate the significant and unavoidable VMT) impact by the proposed Project . Therefore, VMT impacts of this alternative would be less than significant.
Mitigation measure TRANS-2, required for the proposed Project to reduce VMT impact from regional retail uses, would not be required for this alternative.
5.8.2.17 Tribal Cultural Resources
Tribal cultural resources impacts of this alternative would be reduced compared to those of the proposed Project, as nearly 75 percent of the Project site under this alternative would remain open space. It is assumed that a small, to -be-determined portion of the 185 acres of open space in this alternative would be developed with active recreational uses such as a sports park, and that the SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-43 June 2023
remainder would be natural open space. Tribal cultural resources impacts of this alternative and the proposed Project would each be less than significant after mitigation.
5.8.2.18 Utilities and Service Systems
Operational utility demands of this alternative are estimated here based on service population (numbers of residents plus workers) compared to those of th e proposed Project . The service population of this alternative would be 4,422 residents compared to a service population of 7,663 (4,422 residents plus 3,241 workers) for the proposed Project. Thus, utility demands for this alternative are estimated to be reduced by approximately 42 percent compared to the proposed Project. Utilities demands would be less than significant for both of these scenarios.
5.8.3 Comparison of Alternative 5 to the Proposed Project Development of this alternative, compared to the propos ed Project , would reduce impacts on aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, public services, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems. This alternative would avoid significant and unavoidable air quality and transportation impacts of the proposed Project.
This alternative would have similar impacts on land use, mineral resources, and recreation compared to those of the proposed Project.
This alternative would cause slightly greater impacts on population and housing compared to impacts of the proposed Project.
5.8.4 Relationship of the Alternative to Project Objectives Development of the No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative would fully meet the following project objectives:
• Transform the area into a visually attractive, welcoming, and safe development and environment.
• Define the appropriate location, maximum intensity, an d mix of uses through new development standards.
• Create guidelines and standards for architecture that reinforces the unique character and identity of the City of Jurupa Valley characterized by high quality architectural forms and material and emphasize a Southern California lifestyle that maximizes the outdoor spaces. • Establish an open space plan that accommodates passive recreation amenities and areas for the community to gather for outdoor venues.
• Create guidelines and standards for safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian movement; and minimize impacts of truck traffic and circulation throughout the site and adjoining areas. • Establish infrastructure improvements for water, sewer, storm drains, utilities, roads, intersections, and other facilities to adequately support development. SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-44 June 2023
Development of this alternative would partially meet the following objectives:
• Respond to the physical and market-driven aspects of future development opportunities. • Encourage compatible land uses and interface with adjacent properties by incorporating natural buffers with expanded parkways, trails, drives, and/or local streets. • Capitalize on predictable and marketable future development opportunities that provide the City with economic benefits through employment, tax revenu es and infrastructure improvements.
• Create a multimodal circulation network within the site to adequately service envisioned uses, and activities and contain vehicular impacts.
• Provide flexible parking standards to encourage parking facilities that meet th e parking demand for all users at all times, avoid excess and unnecessary parking, and ensure no overflow parking on public streets.
• Create a sustainable environment by incorporating strategies that minimize consumption of natural resources, conserve energy and water, incorporate natural systems and minimize the release of pollutants into the environment.
Development of this alternative would not achieve the following objectives:
• Facilitate a balance of job-to-housing growth within the City of Jurupa Valley.
5.9 Environmentally Superior Alternative
Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines indicates that an analysis of alternatives to a project shall identify an Environmentally Superior Alternative among the alternatives evaluated in an EIR.
The CEQA Guidelines also state that should it be determined that the No Project/No Build Alternative is the Environmentally Superior Alternative, the EIR shall identify another Environmentally Superior Alternative among the remaining alternatives.
With respect to i dentifying an Environmentally Superior Alternative among those analyzed in this Draft EIR, the range of feasible alternatives includes:
• No Project/No Development Alternative (Alternative 1) • No Project/Existing Specific Plan Alternative (Alternative 2) • Reduced Commercial Uses Alternative (Alternative 3)
• Reduced Industrial Uses Alternative (Alternative 4)
• No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative (Alternative 5).
Table 5.3-1 provides a summary of the description of alternatives and a comparison of the different project components. Table 5.3-2 provides a summary comparison, by environmental topic, of the Project impacts and the impacts of each of the alternatives. Table 5.3-3 provides a summary SECTION 5.0 – ALTERNATIVES
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 5-45 June 2023
comparison of each of the alternatives’ ability to meet the objectives of the Project . A more detailed description of the potential impacts associated with each alternative is provided above. Pursuant to § 15126.6(c) of the CEQA Guideli nes, the analysis below addresses the ability of the alternatives to "avoid or substantially lessen one or more of the significant effects" of the Project.
Of the alternatives analyzed in this Draft EIR, Alternative 1, the No Project/No Development Alternative would avoid all of the Project's significant environmental impacts, including the Project's significant and unavoidable air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative offsite roadway noise and vehicle miles traveled impacts. Although Alternative 1 would reduce most of the Project 's less- than-significant and less -than-significant-with-mitigation impacts , it would not meet any of the Project's objectives.
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines requirement to identify an Environmentally Superior Alternative other than the No Project/No Build Alternative, a comparative evaluation of the remaining alternatives indicates that Alternative 5, the No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative, would be the Environmentally Superior Alternative . Alternative 5 would reduce three significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Project to less than significant: operational air quality impacts, cumulative offsite roadway noise and vehicle miles traveled impacts.
As described in Section 5.8.4, Alternative 5 would fully meet four of the objectives for the Project, would only partially meet seven of the objectives, and would not meet the objective of f acilitating a balance of job-to-housing growth within the City of Jurupa Valley.

6.0 OTHER CEQA CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Significant Unavoidable Impacts
This section includes a description of the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Project. § 15126.2(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that the EIR describe any significant impacts, including those that can be mitigated but not reduced to less-than-significant levels.
Potential environmental effects of the proposed Project and proposed mitigation measures are discussed in Sections 4.1 through 4.18 of this document. This EIR determined that there would be unavoidable significant adverse impacts related to air quality (Section 4.2) from operations and from Phase 1 operations and Phase 2 construction combined; greenhouse gas emissions (Section 4.7) ; cumulative offsite roadway noise (Sect ion 4.12); and vehicle miles traveled (Section 4.16) After implementation of mitigation measures, the proposed Project would still have significant environment effects, which would require the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations for these impacts.
6.2 Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes
The environmental effects of the proposed project are summarized in the Executive Summary and are analyzed in detail in Section 3, Environmental Impact Analysis, of this Draft EIR.
As mandated by the CEQA Guidelines, the EIR must address any significant irreversible environmental change that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Specifically, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(d), such an impact would occur if:
• The proposed project would involve a large commitment of nonrenewable resources; • Primary and secondary impacts would generally commit future generations to similar uses; • The proposed project involves uses in which irreversible damage could result from any potential environmental accidents associated with the project; or • The proposed consumption of resources is not justified (e.g., the project results in the wasteful use of energy).
The proposed project consists of a master planned residential community that would incl ude up to 1,192 dwelling units, 1.27 million square feet of light industrial uses, and 1.43 million square feet of business park uses. Implementation of the proposed project would require the long -term commitment of natural resources and land, as discussed in the following paragraphs.
Approval and implementation of actions related to the proposed project would result in an irretrievable commitment of nonrenewable resources such as energy supplies and other construction-related materials. The energy resource demands would be used for construction, heating, and cooling of buildings; transportation of people and goods; heating and refrigeration; lighting; and other associated energy needs.
Environmental changes with implementation of the proposed project would occur as the physical environment is altered through continued commitments of land and construction materials to urban development. There would be an irretrievable commitment of materials used in construction.
Nonrenewable resources would be committed primarily in the form of fossil fuels and would include SECTION 6.0 – OTHER CEQA CONSIDERATIONS
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 6-2 June 2023
fuel, oil, natural gas, and gasoline used by vehicles and equipment associated with implementation of the proposed project. Refer to Section 3.6, Energy for detailed discussion of energy consumption.
The consumption of other nonrenewable or slowly renewable resources would result from the development of the proposed project. These resources would include but would not be limited to lumber and other forest products, sand and gravel, asphalt, steel, copper, lead, and water. These resources are available in abundance in the Riverside -San Bernardino region and the proposed project would not require a need for new supplies to be secured. Furthermore, the proposed project would be designed and constructed in accordance with the California Building Standards Code, which includes energy and water efficiency standards. Thus, excessive and wasteful consumption would not occur.
The proposed project is not anticipated to result in significant irreversible environmental damage because, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(d), the proposed project does not meet any of the scenarios listed above. Irreversible damage is not anticipated from environmental accidents associated with the proposed project, as it would comp ly with all applicable local and State regulations regarding handling and storage of hazardous materials. While a large commitment to nonrenewable resources would be required, the proposed project would use the energy efficiently and would not result in the wasteful use of energy.
6.3 Growth Inducing Impacts
In compliance with CEQA regulations, this section discusses the growth inducing impacts of a project.
CEQA Guidelines § 15126.2(e) requires a discussion of potential growth inducing impacts of a project.
Growth-inducing impacts are defined by CEQA as the ways in which a project could directly or indirectly foster economic or population growth or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Included in this are projects which would remove obstacles to population growth. In addition, as discussed in the CEQA Guidelines, increases in the population may tax existing community service facilities, thus requiring construction of new facilities that could cause significant environmental effects. It must not be assumed that growth in an area is necessarily beneficial, detrimental, or of little significance to the environment.
6.3.1 Population and Housing
The Project proposes development of 1,192 residential units that are estimated to house approximately 4,422 persons at project buildout. The Project site is already designated Specific Plan and the proposed Project would include the same number of residential units as are permitted under the existing Specific Plan. Therefore, proposed Project development would not remove an obstacle to population growth.
6.3.2 Employment
The proposed Project would have the potential to generate indirect population growth as a r esult of the temporary construction employment opportunities and employment opportunities associated with project operation.
The proposed Project would create temporary construction- related jobs. Due to the specialized nature and expertise of their work, construction workers remain at a job site for the time during which their specific skills are utilized to complete a particular phase of project construction.
Construction workers are not anticipated to relocate to the Project vicinity due to the temporary SECTION 6.0 – OTHER CEQA CONSIDERATIONS
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 6-3 June 2023
nature of construction work. Therefore, project construction employment would not be considered growth inducing.
Project operation is estimated to generate jobs (see Section 4.13 for further discussion). Employment in the city of Jurupa Valley is forecas t to increase by approximately 4,200 between 2016 and 2045 (SCAG, 2020). Project-generated employment would not exceed the regional forecast for the City. The unemployment rate in Riverside County in March 2022 was estimated at 4.3 percent (EDD, 2022). It is anticipated that project employment would be absorbed from the regional labor force and would not attract substantial numbers of workers to move into the region. Therefore, employment impacts would be less than significant.
6.3.3 Utility Infrastructure Improvements
The Project site contains infrastructure such as water, sewer, gas and electrical service to the existing residences onsite. The Project proposes water, wastewater, and storm drainage improvements described in Section 2.5.2, Utilities. The utility improvements would serve only the Project site and would not extend into land not served by utilities other than portions of the Project site. Therefore, project development would not require utilities improvements that would be growth -inducing and impacts would be less than significant.
6.3.4 Conclusion
The proposed Project would not cause population growth exceeding the regional forecast for the City; would not extend infrastructure into areas not already designated for development; and would not remove an obstacle to population growth. While project development would generate employment, such employment would be within the regional forecast for the City. The Project site is an infill site in a part of Jurupa Valley that is already partly urbanized. Therefore , direct and indirect growth - inducing impacts of the Project would be less than significant.

SECTION 11.0 – MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 11-1 June 2023
11.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
11.1 Introduction
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires all state and local agencies to establish monitoring or reporting programs whenever approval of a project relies upon a mitigated negative declaration or an environmental impact report (EIR). The monitoring or reporting program must ensure implementation of the measures being imposed to mitigate or avoid the significant adverse environmental impacts identified in the mitigated negative declaration or EIR.
The mitigation measures will be implemented by the Project proponent or other agencies such as the City of Jurupa Valley at different times during the implementation of the Project. Some mitigation will require implementation prior to the issuance of any permits, while other measures will be implemented during construction, and others throughout all the phases. The following table lists the potentially significant environmental impacts, the mitigation measures, the level of significance after mitigation, the responsible parties and monitoring parties, and the phase in which mitigation is to be implemented. The areas requiring mitigation are:
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources)
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Noise
• Transportation
• Tribal Cultural Resources
Those environmental topics for which there are less than significant impacts without mitigation are discussed in their respective sections of this document but are not included in the table below because no mitigation is warranted. Those environmental topics include:
• Aesthetics
• Energy
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Mineral Resources
• Population and Housing
• Public Services (Fire Protection, Schools, and Libraries) • Recreation
• Utilities and Service Systems
In addition to mitigation measures, the Project includes Plans, Policies, and Programs (PPPs) for the following environmental topics, which are listed in the table below:
• Aesthetics
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
SECTION 11.0 – MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Draft EIR Page 11-2 June 2023
• Cultural Resources

Threshold a) (Cont’d) PPP 4.2-3: Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust). This rule is intended to reduce the amount of PM entrained in the
ambient air from anthropogenic (manmade) fugitive dust
sources by requiring actions to prevent, reduce, or
mitigate fugitive dust emissions. Rule 403 applies to any activity or manmade condition capable of generating
fugitive dust. Some specific requirements of Rule 403 that apply to all construction projects, regardless of the size of their disturbed areas, are addressed below:
• No person shall cause or allow emissions of fugitive
dust to remain visible in the atmosphere beyond the
property line of the emission source or to exceed 20
percent opacity if the dust emission is a result of a
moving motorized vehicle.
• Apply applicable Best Available Control Measures in
Table 1 of Rule 403 to minimize fugitive dust
emissions during active operation.
• No person shall cause or allow PM10 levels to exceed
50 micrograms per cubic meter when determined as
the difference between upwind and downwind
samples collected on high volume PM samplers or
other USEPA approved equivalent method for PM10
monitoring at the Project limits for a five hour period during the time of Active Operations. Sampling will
only occur if a complaint is reported to the SCAQMD,
in which case the decision to conduct sampling will
be made by SCAQMD, and SCAQMD will conduct
sampling.
• No person shall allow track out to extend 25 feet or
more in cumulative length from the point of origin
from an active operation, and all track out from an
active operation shall be removed at the end of each
workday or evening shift.
• No person shall conduct an active operation with a
disturbed surface area of five or more acres, or with a daily import or export of 100 cubic yards or more of

Threshold a) (Cont’d) PPP 4.2-11: Rule 2305 (Warehouse Indirect Source Rule). Rule 2305 was adopted by the SCAQMD Governing
Board on May 7, 2021, to reduce NOX and particulate
matter emissions associated with warehouses and mobile
sources attracted to warehouses. This rule applies to all existing and proposed warehouses over 100,000 square
feet located in the SCAQMD. Rule 2305 requires
warehouse operators to track annual vehicle miles
traveled associated with truck trips to and from the
warehouse. These trip miles are used to calculate the
warehouse’s WAIRE (Warehouse Actions and Investments
to Reduce Emissions) Points Compliance Obligation.

I. INTRODUCTION
In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15089, the City of Jurupa Valley, the Lead Agency, must prepare a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) before approving a project. The purpose of a Final EIR is to provide an opportunity for the lead agency to respond to comments made by the public and agencies regarding The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Project Draft EIR. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15132, this Final EIR includes revisions to the Draft EIR; a list of persons, organizations, and agencies that provided comments on the Draft EIR; comments and recommendations received regarding the Draft EIR; and responses to significant environmental points raised in the comments received. The Final EIR also includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
This Final EIR constitutes the second part of the EIR for the Project and is intended to be a companion to the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR for the Project, which circulated for public review and comment from June 16, 2023 to July 31, 2023, constitutes the first part of the EIR and is incorporated by reference and bound separately.
1.1 Organization of the Final EIR
This Final EIR is organized into the following four sections:
Section I. Introduction—This section describes the purpose of the Final EIR, outlines the contents of the Final EIR, summarizes the Final EIR process, and provides a summary of the proposed Project.
Section II. Responses to Comments—This section provides a matrix depicting those individuals and entities that commented on the Draft EIR and the issues that they raised. This matrix is followed by verbatim numbered copies of the comments followed by numbered responses to each of the written comments made about the Draft EIR. Copies of the full original comment letters (bracketed) are provided in Appendix FEIR-7 of this Final EIR.
Section III. Revisions, Clarifications, and Corrections—This section provides a list of revisions made to the Draft EIR based on public comments and other items requiring revision.
These changes are minor and do not add significant new information that would affect the analysis or conclusions presented in the Draft EIR. Section 15088.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines specifically states:
New information added to an EIR is not “significant” unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project’s proponents have declined to implement. “Significant new information” requiring recirculation include, for example, a disclosure showing that:
• A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
• A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted t hat reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
❖ INTRODUCTION ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page I-2 August 2023
• A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it. • The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(b) states that “[r]ecirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR.”
As detailed in this Final EIR, neither the comments submitted on the Draft EIR, the responses to these comments, nor the corrections and additions presented in Section III of this Final EIR, constitute new significant information warranting recirculation of the Draft EIR as set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. Rather, the Draft EIR is comprehensive and has been prepared in accordance with CEQA.
Section IV. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)—This section provides the full MMRP for the proposed Project. The MMRP lists project design features and mitigation measures by environmental topic and identifies the level of significance after mitigation, the responsible party/monitoring party and the implementation stage.
This Final EIR includes the following appendices:

1.2 Public Review Process
In accordance with CEQA, the environmental review process for the Project commenced with solicitation of comments from identified responsible and trustee agencies, as well as interested parties on the scope of the DEIR, through a Notice of Preparation (NOP) process. The NOP was circulated for public comment to the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning and Research, responsible agencies, owners, City of Jurupa Valley addresses, and other interested parties on March 31, 2022 to April 29, 2022 . The NOP also provided notice that a scoping meeting for the proposed project was scheduled to occur on April 20, 2022, 2020 at 2:00 PM at the City of Jurupa Valley, City Council Chamber located at 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, CA. The NOP was Appendix A2 in the Draft EIR and the public comments received on the Initial Study were included as Appendix C2 in the Draft EIR.
Consistent with the requirements of Section 15087 of the CEQA Guidelines, the Draft EIR was submitted to the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning and Research for distribution to state agencies and was circulated for a 45-day public review commencing on June 16, 2023, and ending on July 31, 2023 . A Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was published in The Press -Enterprise Newspaper on Ju ne 16, 2023, and emailed to those interested parties who attended the scoping meeting and/or requested notice. The Draft EIR was made available for review on the City of Jurupa Valley’s website (https://www.jurupavalley.org/DocumentCenter/Index/68) and at the City of Jurupa Valley’s City Hall at 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, CA . Following the Draft EIR public comment period, this Final EIR has been prepared and includes responses to the com ments raised regarding the Draft EIR.

Notes:
1. Gross Acreage includes Existing Non-Conforming properties. Future redevelopment of the non-conforming properties would default to the respective Specific Plan land use designation. Gross Acreages is inclusive of roadway and access easements. Gross Averages are rounded to the nearest tenths based on the TTM.
2. Hotel Square Feet is estimated for purpose of FAR calculation only. Subsequent development applications may exceed the total square feet, provided that the maximum Land Use FAR is not exceeded.
3. Hotel Rooms are the basis of trip generation for technical study purpose and represents the maximum number of hotel rooms within the Land Use area.
4. Adjustments to Commercial Tourist and Business Park total square feet can be made if the maximum FAR is maintained and in accordance with Section 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 as appropriate, and Section 5.5.2.
5. Includes 52.4 acres of Commercial Retail-Integrated Overlay.
The uses within the Specific Plan include the following:
Residential. The residential area of the Specific Plan would consist of 1,192 new dwelling units including both multi-family and single-family unit types, and assumed 4 existing units, on 42 acres.
The residential uses would be clustered in the southeast portion of th e Project site adjacent to existing residential uses and away from the adjacent freeway. The Specific Plan would include requirements for community amenities (i.e., pools, children play area, social gathering spots, etc.) for the residents, and traffic cal ming devices designed to divert truck traffic away from the proposed residential neighborhoods as well as existing residential neighborhoods in the vicinity of the Project site. Buffer areas will be required between residential uses and any industrial and warehousing uses.
Commercial. The commercial area of the Specific Plan would include Commercial Neighborhood, Commercial Retail, and Commercial Tourist land uses. The Commercial Neighborhood would include a neighborhood shopping center to serve the local area with a grocery store, restaurants, retail stores, and community services. The Commercial Retail area would be designated for larger big-box retailers to serve regional consumers that may include furniture and product showrooms with on -site assembly and inventory storage. The Commercial Retail area would also include an integrated -use overlay to allow a business that combine their various business operations into a single business operation at one site including a traditional “brick and mortar” retail showroom for display and sale of products to the public and may include product assembly/light manufacturing; warehousing; customer pick-up and/or shipping/receiving. The Commercial Tourist area would include a hotel, exhibit/concert hall, tourist visitor ce nter, or other hospitality and entertainment-related uses. The total commercial area would encompass approximately 98 acres.
Industrial & Business Park. The industrial area would have a maximum of 1.5 million square feet of building area intended to provi de a wide range of industrial uses including research and development; light manufacturing, assembly and processing of manufactured goods and materials; warehousing and distribution including e-commerce, high-cube logistics and cross-dock facilities. on approximately 67 acres. An approximately 30,000 square foot business park intended for research and development, technology centers, corporate offices, clean industry, and supporting retail uses would be included on approximately 8 acres. There would be an o pen space buffer between the industrial/logistics use and the residential uses to the south. Truck traffic into and out of this area would be prohibited from traveling into the proposed and existing residential areas.
Open Space. The Project would provide approximately 11 acres of both active and passive open space for residents, employees, and visitors in the form of neighborhood parks, urban parks, recreational facilities, community centers, play areas, greenbelts, and off -street trails. The Open ❖ INTRODUCTION ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page I-6 August 2023
Space L and Use Area also incorporates landscape buffers and other water quality management practices to treat stormwater.
Signage and Monuments. The Project would include standards for signage that could be installed within each land use area. Signage standards may include but not be limited to commercial/industrial signs (wall and monument), directional signage, entry features/monuments, and freeway -oriented signs, including Project pylon signs and billboards. The goal would be to provide a comprehensive and cohesive approach to signage throughout the Project site.
Circulation. The circulation system would be designed to minimize traffic on the adjacent neighborhood streets and provide for efficient circulation throughout the Project site and divert truck traffic away from the proposed and existing residential neighborhoods. Through the EIR process on -site and off -site improvements aimed to improve traffic flows on the adjacent local roadways and the adjoining SR -60 are evaluated. Project street improvements would include both on-site and off -site roadways as well as the vacation of certain existing roads or portions of street rights-of-way within the Project site boundaries.
Infrastructure/Utilities. The Project would be required to install sewer, water, storm drain and dry utilities throughout the site in size and capacity to meet the requirements of the development. The EIR analyzes both on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements required for the Project.
1.3.3 Discretionary and Ministerial Approvals
Each development project undertaken pursuant to the Specific Plan would require a Site Development Permit; a may require an additional Tentative Tract Map or a Conditional Use Permit(s) depending on the proposed land use types.

COMMENT LETTER A
Matthew Taylor, Principal Planner
City of Riverside, Community Development Department, Planning Division 3900 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92522 Phone: (951) 826- 5944, [email protected] This comment below was received in the form of a pdf letter attached to an email from Matthew Taylor sent on July 31, 2023.
Comment A-1
Dear Mr. Gorham: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan project. The City of Riverside (City) unders tands that the proposed The District at Jurupa Valley project consists of a new specific plan (The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan) that would replace the Emerald Meadows Ranch Specific Plan and EIR that was approved by Riverside County in 2005. We also understand that the new specific plan will permit the development of up to 1,192 residential units; 3 million square feet of commercial and industrial land uses; a hotel with conference and hospitality area; and 7 acres of parks and open space.
Response to Comment A-1:
This is introduction information. Comment noted.
Comment A-2:
MM AQ-3: Vehicle Trip Reduction – TDM Requirements for Non -Residential Uses: Begins with “The Project Applicant shall consult with the local transit service provider” – Consultation is not an effective or adequate measure to reduce vehicle trip generation associated with the project. The actual reduction in vehicle trips generated by the act of “consultation” must be quantified. If this is not possible, the mitigation measure should be modified to require specific action on the part of the Project Applicant related to multimodal transit accessibility and/or readiness that can be shown to have a measurable effect on trip generation.
Response to Comment A-2:
The requirement for consulting with the local transit provider in Draft EIR MM AQ-3 is just one of the numerous Traffic Demand Management (TDM) measures. This particular measure is recommended by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in their TDM Ordinance Guide (2009).
Consulting with the transit service provider would facilitate the need to provide infrastructure to connect the Project with transit services (including installing bus turnouts, shelters, or bus stops at the site). This measure is not directly responsible for a reduction in vehicle trips or trip lengths; however, it would support the overall TDM plan required in MM AQ -3. The TDM plan required by MM AQ-3 also requires non -residential uses to include measures such as ride -matching assistance, preferential carpool parking, flexible work schedules for carpools, half -time transportation coordinators, providing a web site or message board for coordinating rides, designating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas for ride-sharing vehicles, and including bicycle end of trip facilities. The measures may be updated as new methods become available. The emissions ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-20 August 2023
reductions from MM AQ -3 were quantified in CalEEMod 2022 using the methods, criteria, and formulas within the C alifornia Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity: Designed for Local Governments, Communities, and Project Developers (2021).
Comment A-3
MM TRANS -1: Transportation Demand Management Program – 1. Consultation with Riverside Transit Authority: The Project Application shall fund a study on behalf of RTA to determine whether adding bus service would be warranted – Evidence of compliance should be completion and publication of the study itself – not merely correspondence between the Applicant and the transit agency.
Response to Comment A-3
There is bus service to the project site on Rubidoux Boulevard at Frontage Road. Draft EIR Section
4.16.6 includes the Public Transit Impact Analysis that discusses the potential for future bus routes into and through the Project site. This analysis states that the Project is proposing additional bus stops in the Project site and would place thos e bus stops in locations approved by the Riverside Transit Authority as part of the site specific planning phases. The Commentor is citing to only a single portion of MM TRANS-1 and does not include the full text of that portion of the mitigation measure.
MM TRANS-1, below in full, as written requires “correspondence from the transit agency regarding the need for installing bus turnouts, shelters or bus stops at the site.” The mitigation measure as written has definite and measurable compliance terms and no modifications are necessary.
MM TRANS-1: Transportation Demand Management Program. Prior to recordation of the Final Map, the Property Owner shall provide assurances that the transportation demand management measures described below, will be perpetually implemented, regardless of property ownership, and a mechanism for informing subsequent property owners of the transportation demand management plan requirements. These requirements may be accomplished through recordation of covenants, conditions and restrictions and/or the formation of a transportation management association which assumes responsibility for implementation and monitoring of the transportation demand management measures or other measures deemed acceptable by the City.
TDM Requirements for Non-Residential Uses:
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for any phase, the Project Applicant shall consult with the Riverside Transit Authority (RTA) on the need to provide infrastructure to connect the Project with transit services and to relocate the existing bus stop on northbound Rubidoux Boulevard at Frontage Road southward to the intersection of Rubidoux Boulevard and proposed A Street. The applicant shall fund such relocation. The Project Applicant shall fund a study on behalf of RTA to determ ine whether adding bus service along proposed A Street in the Project site would be warranted by potential ridership and be practicable for RTA. Evidence of compliance with this requirement may include correspondence from the local transit provider(s) regarding the potential need for installing bus turnouts, shelters, or bus stops at the site.
Prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for any commercial use, future tenants in employment- generating land uses developed pursuant to the proposed Project shal l implement measures including, but not be limited to, the following: ride-matching assistance; preferential carpool parking; flexible work schedules for carpools; transportation coordinators; providing a web site or message ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-21 August 2023
board for coordinating rides; d esignating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas for ride-sharing vehicles; and including bicycle end of trip facilities including bike parking, bike lockers, showers, and personal lockers. The measures chosen must achieve a total esti mated VMT reduction of not less than 8.3 percent. This list may be updated as new methods become available.
Comment A-4:
The Commenter states that the Project Description does not state the total acreage within the Commercial Retail designation that will receive the Integrated Use Overlay, nor does it disclose what quantity of the anticipated 1.2 million square feet of development in the Commercial Retail designation is attributable to development within the Integrated Use Overlay.
Response to Comment A-4:
The Commercial Retail-Integrated Use designation is a General Plan overlay which will be applied to
52.4 acres of the Commercial Retail Use area, as shown on the revised Table 3.4-1 on page 3-1 and in the second paragraph text on page 3-9 within the Errata.
Comment A-5:
The commenter states that based on the intent and typical uses allowed within the CR – Integrated Use Overlay, this is describing primarily industrial land use with a strong orientation toward logistics and goods movement uses with a nominal amount of ancillary retail activity.
Response to Comment A-5:
Strictly by way of example, a furniture store such as Ashley, Living Spaces, Mathis Brothers, Ikea, etc. would meet the criteria and intent for inclusion within the CR – Integrated Use Overlay. These types of businesses are not considered “industrial” simply because their merchandise (i.e., larger furniture items) requires additional stockroom/warehousing area that is ancillary to the retail sale of furniture to customers, which often requires home delivery to local customers due to the nature of the items sold. This type of use is properly classified as commercial and is illustrative of the t ypes of uses contemplated within the CR – Integrated Use Overlay.
In addition, as discussed more fully in response to Comment A -6, due in part to the way that the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) operates, and the inputs required, the Draft EIR conservatively assumed that 900,000 square feet of the Overlay area could include industrial warehouse uses and modeled potential impacts based on that assumption. As a result, the Draft EIR conservatively did not assume commercial uses for the entirety of the Overlay. Because the Draft EIR already provided a conservative analysis, there is no need to revise the EIR to address the issue raised in the comment.
Comment A-6:
The commenter reiterates the breakdown of proposed uses within the Specific Pla n area and claims that based on land use assumptions provided in the Traffic Impact Analysis, the Project involves an additional approximately 900,000 square feet of industrial land use activity outside of the Industrial land use designation – which must b e assumed to be anticipated within the Retail - Integrated Use Overlay as none of the other proposed land use districts would permit these types of uses. ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-22 August 2023
Response to Comment A-6:
Refer to Response A-5, above. The commenter accurately points out that the T raffic Impact Analysis includes 900,000 square foot of warehouse which would be part of an Commercial Retail - Integrated Use and is listed in Table 2A, Summary of Project Trip Generation Estimates -The District at Jurupa Valley-Phase 1, of the TIA under th e Residential and Commercial Uses heading as "Furniture Warehousing". For purposes of the air quality analysis, the air quality report based emissions on the following Land Use Types identified in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod):
Industrial-Unrefrigerated Warehouse-No Rail: = 2,250,000 SF.
Industrial-Refrigerated Warehouse-No Rail = 150,000 SF.
Total = 2,400,000 SF.
Of this total, up to 900,000 SF was conservatively modeled to analyze air emissions generated by retail with light ma nufacturing, assembly, warehouse and distribution uses as permitted by the Integrated Use Overlay on a portion of the Commercial Retail use area. CalEEMod does not have a specific land use category to describe a combination furniture store/warehouse use. T herefore, it was necessary to use a combination of Commercial -Home Improvement Superstore and Industrial - Unrefrigerated Warehouse-No Rail to accurately model the air emissions.
The Integrated Retail use would be permitted by the Specific Plan within the Commercial Retail Zone within the boundaries of the Overlay. The components would comprise a Commercial Integrated – retail uses, including the warehouse component, have been properly identified and analyzed in the Draft EIR. More specifically, the technical reports supporting the Draft EIR conservatively did not assume commercial uses for the entirety of the Overlay, and instead assumed and analyzed potential industrial warehouse uses on 900,000 square feet of the Overlay area. Because the Draft EIR already provided a conservative analysis, there is no need to revise the EIR to address the issue raised in the comment.
Comment A-7:
The commenter incorrectly states that based on Comments A-4 to A-6, the Draft EIR must be revised and recirculated to analyze th e potential environmental impacts of 2.4 million square feet of industrial (logistics, goods movement, warehousing, etc.) development – not 1.5 million square feet of industrial and 1.2 million square feet of “commercial retail” development.
Response to Comment A-7:
Refer to Responses A-4 to A-6. Industrial - only uses are not proposed within the CR – Integrated Use Overlay. Total commercial development will not exceed the 1.2 million square feet as stated in the EIR, regardless of the overlay classificati on. The technical analyses within the Draft EIR accounted for the maximum possible development. The impact conclusions of the Draft EIR remain unchanged and represent a conservative, worst-case scenario. The maximum square footage and characteristics of al l proposed land uses were accurately included within the Project Description. Therefore, providing clarification regarding the precise acreage intended for the Commercial Retail Integrated Use overlay does not trigger the need for recirculation. ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-23 August 2023
Comment A-8:
The commenter states that the Draft EIR Project Description states that the Project involves four free- standing freeway -oriented billboard signs – three digital and one static. Figure 3.4 -9, however, depicts three combination digital and static sign l ocations and one existing freestanding sign (type not specified). The Project Description, the corresponding Figure, or both should be revised to correct this discrepancy.
Response to Comment A-8:
Clarifying text has been added to the Errata, Page 3-12, last paragraph, under Section 3.4.3, Signage and Monuments.
Comment A-9:
The commenter states that the Project Description also does not indicate whether the proposed freeway signage will permit off -site advertising for hire or if it will be limited to on-site signage for tenant identification purposes. The Project Description should be revised to clarify and, if off -site advertising for hire is proposed, the EIR should address potential visual and aesthetic impacts of billboard signage in the appropriate sections of the EIR. Mitigation for potential impacts related to light pollution and traffic safety hazards that stem from digital billboard signage should be identified and applied as necessary. CalTrans should be listed as a Trustee/Responsi ble Agency and the required Landscaped Freeway Declassification and Outdoor Advertising Permit requests listed as required discretionary approvals for the Project.
Response to Comment A-9:
Signage is discussed in Section 3.9 of the Draft Specific Plan. As discussed at Section 3, page 26 of the Specific Plan, a Master Sign Program (MSP) will provide standards for freeway signs for both Project tenant identification (on -premises) and non -tenant off-premises advertising (billboards). Caltrans review will be required for any billboards located within 660 feet of Caltrans right -of-way. Freeway sign lighting is discussed at page 4.1-27 of the EIR as follows:
“Section 4.9.2, Lighting and Display Requirements, of the Specific Plan requires that all digital billboa rds must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning
brightness, including, without limitation, California Vehicle Code Section 21466.5, and as amended and that signs are to be oriented primarily for viewing from the freeway and shall be oriented, and adequately shielded if necessary, to prevent the trespass of light and glare upon any residential land use (within 500 feet of the sign), including those in mixed -use districts, as exists on the date of building permit issuance.
With implementation of PPP 4.1.3, impacts would be less than significant.”
The preceding text in the Draft EIR mistakenly refers to Section 4.9.2 of the Specific Plan for the Lighting and Display Requirements; this is actually included within Section 4.10.1 (4) of the Sp ecific Plan; this correction is reflected within the Errata of this Final EIR. For ease of reference, relevant text found at Section 4, page 51-52 of the Specific Plan is provided here:

4.10.1 General Design Requirements for Freestanding Freeway Signs
2. Each freestanding freeway sign must be oriented primarily for viewing from the freeway and shall be oriented, and adequately shielded if necessary, to prevent the trespass of light and glare upon any residential land use (within 500 feet of the sign), as exists on the date of building permit issuance.
4. Lighting and Display Requirements
a. All freestanding freeway signs where determined applicable must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning brightness, including, without limit ation, California Vehicle Code Section 21466.5, and as amended.
b. Signs shall establish a maximum foot -candle over ambient light levels as determined appropriate by the Community Development Director to confirm compliance with 4a above.
c. The display brightness shall be controlled by a photocell or light sensor that adjusts the brightness to the required level based on ambient light conditions without the need for human input. Use of other brightness adjustment methods, such as timer - or calendar- based systems, shall only be used as a backup system.
d. The display shall be factory -certified as capable of complying with the above brightness standards. Such certification shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or his/her designee.
e. The sign owner shall provide to the City, upon request, certification by or compensation for an independent contractor to verify that the brightness levels of the digital billboard follow industry standards.
f. All signs shall be equipped with a control system that, in the event of a display or control malfunction, "freezes" the display on either a single, unchanging message, or a blank screen. An emergency shutoff switch shall be provided.
g. Any sign area not comprising the digital displa y panel is prohibited, except for identification of the “City of Jurupa Valley” as determined by the Master Sign Program.
This area includes, but is not limited to, static sign area, appendages, cutout letters, and figures. A frame surrounding the display panel up to twelve (12) inches in width shall be permitted; it shall not contain any sign copy or graphics and shall not count toward the sign area.
h. Where screen transitions are used, such transitions shall not give the appearance of moving text or images. The sign copy shall not use flashing, intermittent or moving lights or produce the optical illusion of movement or use animation.
i. Each sign copy shall be displayed for a minimum of four (4) seconds. The still images may not move or present the ap pearance of motion and may not use flashing, scintillating, blinking, or traveling lights or any other means not providing constant illumination. ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-25 August 2023
Transition or blank screen time between one (1) still image and the next may not exceed one (1) second.
j. Signage shall have dimming capabilities during flex alert to cut back or shift electricity during peak hours.
6. Prohibited Features
Freeway oriented billboards shall not contain any of the following features:
a. Moving parts.
b. Lights that flash, shimmer, glitter or give the appearance of flashing, shimmering or glittering.
Exceptions to this restriction include time, temperature and smog index units.
c. Walls or screens at the base of the sign which create a hazard to public safety or provide an attractive nuisance.
d. Copy which simulates any traffic sign in a manner which confuses the public.
e. Devices which emit audible sound, or odor or particulate matter.
CalTrans is already listed as a responsible and trustee agency in the Draft EIR on page 2-9 in Table
2.6-1 as “ Responsible for issuance of encroachment permits if required ”. The words “ and Outdoor Advertising Permit” were added to the right column.
Commenter’s request to list CalTrans as a Trustee/Responsible Agency and to include an Outdoor Advertising Permit as a required discretionary approval for the Project has been incorporated into the Errata of this Final EIR (page 3 -23, Table 3.6 -1). Appendi x FEIR -8 includes a freeway sign classification exhibit for illustration. On January 18, 2023, Caltrans approved a declassification of the Landscaped Freeway designation for the relevant segment of the Route 60 Freeway. A copy of the approval letter and a map of the declassified segment are included in the Errata as Appendix D24 (included in Appendix FEIR-9).
Comment A-10:
Commenter expresses concern that views of the Project site may be negatively impacted as seen from higher elevations along the hiking trail that ascends the northern face of Mount Rubidoux, and requests that the Draft EIR evaluate how views onto the Project site from higher elevations on the Mount Rubidoux hiking trail could be impacted by development of buildings up to 75 feet in heigh t in this area. The commenter states that photo simulations, cross -sections and other simulated, schematic, or diagrammatic illustrations of areas affected by this scale of development should be provided to substantiate these conclusions. Appropriate mitig ation measures, up to and including limitations of allowed building height, should be applied as necessary.
Response to Comment A-10:
Mount Rubidoux is located approximately one mile to the east of the Project site. From this distance, and particularly at higher elevations as suggested by the commenter, the proposed Project buildings would not obstruct views from this vantage point. The mere fact that Project buildings may be visible ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-26 August 2023
from higher elevations on the Mount Rubidoux hiking trail would not resul t in a potentially significant impact under CEQA under the applicable thresholds of significance, as the Project site itself is not considered a scenic vista. (See Draft EIR at 4.1 -7 to 4.1 -10). Photo simulations and additional renderings are not warranted; “CEQA does not require a lead agency to conduct every test or perform all research, study, and experimentation recommended or demanded by commentors.” (CEQA Guidelines § 15204). No further response is necessary.
Comment A-11:
The commenter claims that t he Draft EIR does not address whether the Master Sign Program 1) includes off -site advertising for hire (i.e., billboards); 2) whether such billboards will require Declassification of a Classified Landscaped Freeway by CalTrans; and 3) whether such billboards will further require, and would comply with the specific regulations for, an Outdoor Advertising Permit from CalTrans (California Business and Professions Code Sections 5200-5486 and California Code of Regulations Sections 2240-2519). The Draft EIR should be revised to address compliance with these State regulations as they apply to the Project and its proposed freeway signage. Appropriate mitigation measures should be identified and applied as necessary.
Response to Comment A-11:
Refer to Response A-9.
Comment A-12:
The commenter expresses concern that with regard to Draft EIR Section 4.17 (Cumulative Impacts), buildings constructed within the Project area may potentially obstruct views of Mount Rubidoux from within the Project site, from State Route 60, and from other adjacent areas. The Draft EIR should be revised to address these potential impacts or provide substantial evidence to the contrary.
Response to Comment A-12:
The individual, Project -level impact to views of Mt. Rubidoux was found to be less than significant based on the analysis contained at Draft EIR page 4.1-10. Therefore, the Draft EIR properly concluded that the Project, in conjunction with other planned or approved projects, would not have cumulatively considerable impacts on scenic vistas.

Project Design Feature 4.2 -10 – LEED Buildings . This Project Design Feature does not specify which level of LEED Certification buildings constructed within the Project will be required to attain; as such, it is ineffective as a Project Design Feature in that it lacks the necessary specificity to quantify the anticipated reduction in any environmental impact.
Response to Comment A-15
The Industrial building on the Project will be designed to meet an equivalent of LEED® Certification level which requires 40-49 points. Text in PDF 4.2-10 on pages 4.2-21 and in the MMRP Table (Table

MM AQ-3 – Vehicle Trip Reduction – TDM Requirements for Non-Residential Uses begins with “The Project Applicant shall consult with the local transit service provider” – consultation does nothing to mitigate vehicle trip generation associated with the project. The actual reduction in vehicle trips, and concomitant reductions in air quality pollutants, generated by the act of “consultation” must be quantified. If this is not possible, the mitigation measure should be modified to require specific action on the part of the Project Applicant related to multimodal transit accessibility and/or readiness that can be shown to have a measurable effect on trip generation and air quality impacts.

Comment A-17:
The commenter expresses concern that nighttime lighting related to the proposed freestanding digital billboard signage nearest to the Santa Ana River might have a detrimental impact to sensitive species or habitat that could require mitigation either during construction or operation of the Project and that the Project Design Feature which states that “Night lighting will be directed away from MSHCP Conservation Areas, including the adjacent Santa Ana River corridor, with appropria te shielding being incorporated in project design,” is not substantiated. The commenter states that potential impact of nighttime lighting emanating from the digital billboard proposed for this location on sensitive species and habitat must be evaluated an d reduced to the extent feasible through changes to the Project design, up to and including the relocation of this proposed digital billboard sign, or adequately mitigated.
❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-28 August 2023
Response to Comment A-17:
Section 4.10.1 of Specific Plan provides for general design requirements for the freestanding freeway signs. These include the following:
4a. All freestanding freeway signs where determined applicable must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning brightness, including, without limitation, California Vehicle Code Section 21466.5, and as amended. 4b. Signs shall establish a maximum foot -candle over ambient light levels as determined appropriate by the Community Development Director to confirm compliance with 4a above.
A lighting study will be re quired to be completed as part of the final Project approvals and will address the compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, which include the requirement to protect the biological integrity of the MSHCP conserved lands as detailed in Section 4. 3, Biological Resources, MSHCP Section 6.1.4 addresses requirements related to indirect impacts for projects within or adjacent to a MSHCP Criteria Area, Criteria Cell, or Conservation Area. A portion of Criteria Cell 187 falls within the Project area. In addition, the Project area’s eastern boundary is adjacent to Public/Quasi-Public Conservation Lands associated with the Santa Ana River channel. As such, the Project would be required to be in compliance with the guidelines described in Section 6.1.4 of th e MSHCP which states: “Night lighting will be directed away from MSHCP Conservation Areas, including the adjacent Santa Ana River corridor, with appropriate shielding being incorporated in project design. This also complies with City Municipal Code Section 9.145.050.(14), which requires that all site lighting be shielded to prevent glare and direct illumination on adjoining properties (RECON, 2023a, p. 37). In the proposed Specific Plan, Section 3.7, Lighting Requirements (City of Jurupa Valley, 2022a; Sect ion 3, p. 20), includes the following requirements that comply with City Municipal Code Section 9.145.050.(14). These are included as PDF 4.1-5, PDF 4.1-6, and PDF 4.1-7, in Section 4.1, Aesthetics. • Orientation: All exterior lighting fixtures shall be di rected downward to illuminate pedestrian pathways and parking areas and avoid unnecessary glare and light pollution.
However, up lighting effects to promote nighttime identity and character are allowed provided such exterior lighting features utilize indirect or hidden lighting.
Implementation of these requirements, which will be applied to the digital billboards as applicable and verified by a study and coordination with City staff prior to the issuance of building permits will ensure that the digital bill boards, especially the easternmost sign located closest to the Santa Ana River, will not significantly impact sensitive species and habitats within the conserved lands.
Comment A-18:
The commenter states that the proposed digital billboard sign located adjacent to the Santa Ana River will be up to 65 feet in height, which clearly exceeds the limitations prescribed by the Municipal Code.
The EIR does not address how potential impacts related to an illuminated sign in this location will be adequately mitigated or reduced through compliance with the Municipal Code. Additional mitigation measures, up to and including relocation of this proposed digital billboard sign, should be identified, and applied.
Response to Comment A-18:
As stated in Section 3.9 of the Specific Plan: “The regulating signage document for the Specific Plan will be a Master Sign Program (MSP). Project level signage will require a site -specific Sign Plan in ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-29 August 2023
conformance with the MSP and in accordance with Sections 3.8, 4.8 and 5.5.4 of the S pecific Plan. In the event of conflict between the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code and the Specific Plan, the Specific Plan shall prevail.” (Emphasis added). The MSP required per the Specific Plan will regulate lighting and require that each freestanding freeway sign must be oriented primarily for viewing from the freeway and shall be oriented, and adequately shielded, if necessary, to prevent the trespass of light and glare on residential uses. In addition, the MSP has established lighting and display require ments such as (a) Lighting and Display Requirements: All freestanding freeway signs where determined applicable must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning brightness, including, without limitation, California Vehicle Code Section 21466 .5, and as amended, (b) Signs shall establish a maximum foot -candle over ambient light levels as determined appropriate by the Community Development Director to confirm compliance with 4a above, (c ) The display brightness shall be controlled by a photocel l or light sensor that adjusts the brightness to the required level based on ambient light conditions without the need for human input. Use of other brightness adjustment methods, such as timer - or calendar-based systems, shall only be used as a backup sys tem, (d) The display shall be factory-certified as capable of complying with the above brightness standards. Such certification shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of the Planning and Building Agency, or his/her designee, and (h) Where sc reen transitions are used, such transitions shall not give the appearance of moving text or images. The sign copy shall not use flashing, intermittent or moving lights or produce the optical illusion of movement or use animation. Establishment of the above Lighting and Display requirements will ensure that any proposed Digital Billboards will be compliant with all regulatory code provisions in place.

Comment A-19:
Table 4.7-5, Goal 6: Support healthy and equitable communities. The analysis provided in the Draft EIR does not substantiate how or why the Project is consistent with the Goal of the SCAG RTP -SCS.
Discussion is limited to how the Project does not violate localized thresholds for criteria pollutants but goes no further to discuss how the project supports healthy and equitable communities. The Draft EIR should be revised to include additional analysis as to whether and, if so, how the project is consistent with this Goal.
Response to Comment A-19:
The discussion of consistency with SCAG RTP/SCS Goal 6 is focused on the Project’s potential to affect healthy and equitable communities. As discussed in the Draft EIR, the Project would not generate emissions that would negatively affect healthy and equitable communities because the Project does not exceed health-related localized air quality thresholds.
The way a community is designed impacts the likelihood that a person will bike or walk to school, work, or local shops; have access to healthy food or parks; and breathe air that is free of pollutants.
The project includes 11.1 acres of open space. The Open Space land use area accommodates open spaces areas for residents, employees, and visitors in the form of neighborhood parks, urban parks, recreational facilities, community centers, play areas, greenbelts, and off -street trails. The Open Space Land Use Area also incorporates landscape buffers and other water quality management practices to treat stormwater . The Project’s circulation plan includes street, pedestrian, and bicycle facility improvements that would allow easy access to the other proposed mixed -uses. The Project incorporates community serving pedestrian and bicycle pathways through a multi -use tr ail and sidewalks along A and B Streets. The Project proposes healthy communities’ components including pedestrian paths and bicycle trails.

Furthermore, the Project would implement mitigation measures that include, but are not limited to, MM AQ-3 which requires implementation of a TDM program to reduce single occupant vehicle trips and encourage public transit. These measures support reductions in mobile emissions and more equitable transportation options.
Comment A-20:
The commenter states that the Project proposes demolition of existing housing units and as such, the Draft EIR should address applicable California statutes related to preservation and replacement of existing housing units pursuant to Senate Bills 330 and 8 (Housing Crisis Act of 2019). Spe cifically, projects that propose to remove existing housing units are obligated to identify whether any of the units proposed for removal are Protected Units pursuant to the Statute and, if so, provide an accounting of the Households Income Level and plans for replacement of the removed housing units at the same income level.
Response to Comment A-20:
This comment is inapplicable; the homeowners of the single -family residences proposed for demolition voluntarily negotiated the sale of their properties and are therefore able to purchase replacement housing elsewhere. As discussed in the EIR, the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) determined that there is a need for 4,497 housing units in order to meet the City’s housing needs. The proposed Proje ct would provide a net increase of 1,192 housing units, which would help to support the housing needs of the City consistent with the City’s RHNA Allocation. The City has further established incentives and standards to encourage the development of affordab le housing in its 2021-2029 Housing Element. No further response is necessary.
Comment A-21:
The commenter reiterates its concern that the Draft EIR should evaluate whether the units proposed for demolition are occupied by lower -income households and, if so, propose a plan to replace the demolished units with units that are affordable to households with the same income level as the eliminated units.

Discuss the Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement project and the trail facilities to be included in the District Plan to facilitate trail travel between the Project area and Riverside. This topic is discussed in Section 4.16.1, Existing Conditions, above.”
Response to Comment A-22:
The trail network is described in the Specific Plan, Section 2.6.4, Trail Network. As described, the Specific Plan will provide multi-use pedestrian trails and bike paths/lanes as a means of connecting residents, visitors, and employees with the various land uses in the Specific Plan area. The multi-use pedestrian trail is strategically aligned with the bus stop placement of proposed and relocated stops to allow for greater community access to the public amenities.
The proposed Project will facilitate trail travel between the District of Jurupa Valley and Riverside with a network of trails through a combination of multi -use trail (Class I), pedestrian walkways and bike routes. A Class III bike route will be improved along Crestmore Road that will provide connection from Mission Boulevard to 34th Street and to the proposed Class I multi-use trail that will run through the Project, ultimately connecting with existing Hall Avenue.
As detailed in Section 4.16, Transportation, the Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement project identifies the improvement and continuation of Santa Ana River trail along the east side of Santa Ana River (City of Riverside). The County of Riverside, in cooperation with the Cities of Riverside and Jurupa Valley, is planned to replace the existing Mission Bo ulevard Bridge over the Santa Ana River.
The proposed project will accommodate two 12 -foot lanes, two 14-foot lanes, two 8-foot shoulders, and a 4-foot median. A 12- foot multipurpose trail with barrier separation from vehicular traffic will be located along the south side of the bridge in lieu of standard sidewalks on each side. Construction of the Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement is estimated to start Winter of 2023, with completion in Winter of 2026.
Comment A-23:
Consistency with the City of River side’s Trails Master Plan is not substantively discussed or addressed in Section 4.15 (Recreation). The Draft EIR should be revised to address this comment.
Response to Comment A-23:
As noted in Response to A -22, the proposed Project facilitates trail tra vel between the District of Jurupa Valley and Riverside.

Comment A-26:
With regard to Alternative 4 (Reduced Industrial Uses Alternative), the commenter states that the description of “storage” uses is not specific enough to facilitate an adequate comparison between what the Project proposes and what this Alternative would provide. Further to this point, the Draft EIR states that “industrial use in the Specific Plan was used to calculate proportion for storage in this alternative.” This suggests that, despite the Draft EIR’s claim that “long-term commercial or industrial storage that would involve far fewer truck trips than, for example, fulfillment center use,” the land use evaluated i n this Alternative is still industrial in nature and should be evaluated as such; alternatively, the Draft EIR should be revised to analyze a project alternative that does not actually involve any industrial land uses as the name of this Alternative sugges ts it attempts to do. The Draft EIR further does not substantiate how or why “long -term commercial or industrial storage would involve far fewer truck trips” than other industrial land uses described in the Draft EIR.
Response to Comment A-26:
The type of long-term commercial or industrial storage contemplated by this alternative would include self-storage, including boat, RV and/or heavy equipment storage. These examples have been included within the Errata of this Final EIR for clarification (page 5-29). The Draft EIR accurately states that these uses would involve far fewer truck trips, as storage facilities are typically accessed by passenger vehicles and light -duty trucks rather than heavy trucks. Therefore, characterizing this alternative as including “reduced” industrial uses is accurate, as storage uses are less intense than other types of industrial development. Alternative 5 (No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative) does not include any industrial uses. (Draft EIR at 5-37). No further response is necessary. ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-33 August 2023
Comment A-27:
The commenter states that Alternative 4 does not legitimately exclude industrial uses, but Table 5.7- 3 (Trip Generation Estimate – Reduced Industrial Uses Alternative) still includes one million square feet of industrial ware house uses. The comment also states that the analysis may overestimate the trip generation, and, by extension, potential greenhouse gas emissions impacts of an Alternative to the Project that genuinely excludes industrial uses.
Response to Comment A-27:
As explained in Draft EIR Section 5.7 (page 5 -29), Alternative 4 is a reduced industrial uses alternative and would not eliminate warehouses. The 900,000 square feet of warehouse under Regional Commercial in Table 5.7 -3 is representative of a furniture ware house, which would be retained in the alternative. Therefore, the comment incorrectly indicates that this analysis may overestimate trip generation and associated greenhouse gas emissions impacts. Also, refer to Response A-26 regarding the type of storage in this alternative.
Comment A-28:
The commenter reiterates that the Draft EIR should be revised to include an alternative that does not include any industrial land uses, whether or not those uses are located within the Commercial land use designation wit h the Integrated Use Overlay or not, and the corresponding analysis should be revised to provide a true comparison between the proposed Project and an alternative that does not include any industrial land uses, be they warehousing, logistics, manufacturing , or any other type of industrial use.
Response to Comment A-28:
Refer to Response A -26. Alternative 5 (No Commercial and Industrial Uses Alternative) does not include any industrial uses. (Draft EIR at 5-37). No further response is necessary.
Comment A-29:
The focused traffic analysis memo indicates that “This memo augments the original District at Jurupa Valley Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) completed by Kimley-Horn dated July 2022.” However, it appears that the City of Riverside PW Traffic Division has not received the original TIA for review. Considering project’s vicinity from the Mission Inn Boulevard, the Traffic Engineering Division would like to review and comment on the TIA.
Response to Comment A-29:
The focused traffic analysis memo was included and circulated as part of the Notice of Preparation circulated March 31, 2022.
Comment A-30:
The focused traffic analysis does not include the roadway segment of Mission Inn and intersections located in the City of Riverside(i.e., Mt Rubidoux Dr ive at Mission Inn Boulevard.) Please add a roadway volume to capacity ratio analysis for all traffic scenarios along Mission Inn Boulevard between Crestmore Road and Redwood Drive.
❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-34 August 2023
Response to Comment A-30:
Roadway segment analysis is not required for tr ansportation impacts per CEQA Guidelines Section CEQA 15064.3. which pertains to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and accessibility for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes of travel. However, for informational purposes, the intersection analysis (LOS) was determined to be adequate for the analysis of local circulation.
Comment A-31:
Please also include the intersection of Mission Inn Boulevard and Redwood Drive as one of the study area intersections in the traffic study.
Response to Comment A-31:
At the commenter’s request, additional analysis was completed for this intersection, which indicates that with the Project and the addition of a growth factor and cumulative projects, additional delay would occur above the City’s threshold of two seconds. Level of Service (LOS) would remain LOS E (refer to the Supplemental Letter Memorandum included within the RTC FEIR as Appendix FEIR-10).
This additional analysis and Supplemental Letter Memorandum are for informational purposes only and do not change the text or mitigation in the Draft EIR nor do they change the results of the Draft EIR.
Consistent with the 2018 CEQA Guidelines update and Senate Bill 743, vehicle miles traveled replaced LOS for pu rposes of determining significance under CEQA. Therefore, impacts to intersection LOS delay no longer constitute a significant transportation impact under CEQA. The City of Riverside 2025 General Plan Map (Figure CCM -4) does not depict Redwood Drive, as it is not designated as an arterial. Therefore, City of Riverside General Plan Policy CCM -2.3 does not apply to Redwood Drive as a local street:
Policy CCM-2.3: Maintain LOS D or better on Arterial Streets wherever possible. At key locations, such as City A rterials that are used by regional freeway bypass traffic and at heavily traveled freeway interchanges, allow LOS E at peak hours as the acceptable standard on a case -by-case basis. (Emphasis added).
Even as to Mission Inn Avenue (which is classified as a n arterial), the language of Policy CCM -2.3 is not mandatory, as it simply encourages that this LOS be achieved “wherever possible”. Furthermore, City of Riverside General Plan Policy CCM -2.2 recognizes that short -term delays at peak hours may be tolerated when balanced with other considerations:
Policy CCM-2.2: Balance the need for free traffic flow with economic realities and environmental and aesthetic considerations, such that streets are designed to handle normal traffic flows with tolerances to allow for potential short-term delays at peak-flow hours.
This policy was likely due to the conclusions of the City of Riverside 2025 General Plan EIR (certified in 2007, prior to SB 743 and the 2018 update to the CEQA Guidelines), which acknowledged significant and unavoidable City -wide transportation impacts related to the following thresholds:
increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system; and exceedance, either individually or cumulatively , a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways (see City of Riverside General Plan EIR at pages 5.15-24 to 5.15-36; 5.15-41). ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-35 August 2023
Reasoning for these significant and unavoidable impact con clusions included the fact that “the City will experience a higher rate of growth in travel than the southern California region as a whole, which reflects the fact that portions of the City are still growing more rapidly than the rate at which the remaining region is developing” and that “[the] comparison between existing and proposed Project traffic indicate an increase in traffic which is substantial, at least 50 percent, in relation to the existing traffic load” (Id. at 5.15-24 to -25).
Therefore, even if the additional delay at the Mission Inn Boulevard/Redwood Drive intersection constituted a significant impact under CEQA (which it does not), any such impact would have already been accounted for and disclosed within the City of Riverside’s General Plan EIR. The overall LOS will remain unchanged. No new impacts under CEQA have been identified for the Project, and recirculation of the Draft EIR is not required simply due to the fact that the requested intersection analysis has been provided for informational purposes.
Even if a general plan contains an LOS standard and a project is found to exceed that standard, that conflict should not be analyzed under CEQA. CEQA is focused on planning conflicts that lead to environmental impacts. Auto delay, on its own , is no longer an environmental impact under CEQA. (See Pub. Resources Code § 21099(b)(2).) However, this impact will be addressed with a condition of approval imposed by the City of Jurupa Valley, as discussed in the Supplemental Letter Memorandum.
Comment A-32:
The trip distribution for residential and retail components only shows 5% and 2% traffic routed through Mission Inn Boulevard which seems unreasonable considering the Mission Bridge Project which will improve traffic circulation.
Response to Comment A-32:
As stated in Response A -30, trip distribution for purposes of Level of Service (LOS) analysis is not required under CEQA. However, for informational purposes, with the Project’s proximity to SR -60, Project trips are anticipated to utilize the freeway, as it relates to the residential and regional retail.
Local retail is anticipated to attract a small percentage trips from Riverside, which is approximately 5%.
Comment A-33:
The Truck Circulation Plan shows that the trucks will not utilize Missi on Inn Avenue/Mission Boulevard. However, the study does not address which measures will be implemented to restrict heavy vehicle traffic on Mission Inn Avenue/Mission Boulevard towards the City of Riverside. The City of Jurupa Valley should implement heav y vehicle restrictions to limit heavy vehicle traffic on Mission Inn Avenue/Mission Boulevard towards the City of Riverside.
Response to Comment A-33:
Section 2.6.3, Truck Circulation, of the Specific Plan describes the traffic control measures to direct trucks. Street designs will be implemented to discourage trucks from entering or traveling through the Residential Land Use Area or on existing 34th Street (which connects to Mission Boulevard).
Traffic calming devices will also be incorporate and include the following:

The comme nter has provided no specific data to support the statement that the buildings (both residential and non - ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-38 August 2023
residential) will not be built in compliance with the 2022 Scoping Plan. Appendix D of the 2022 Scoping Plan provides a framework for local jurisdictions to determine consistency with the Plan. As discussed in Section 4.7, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the Project implements several features that contribute to meeting the goals of Assembly Bill 1279 , including but not limited to, providing EV charging infrastructure; is located on an infill site that is surrounded by existing urban uses that is presently served by existing utilities and essential public services (e.g., transit, streets, water, sewer); does not result in the loss or conversion of natural and working lands; provides transit -supportive densities (minimum of 20 residential dwelling units per acre); and is in proximity to existing transit stops (within a half mile). (Also refer to Response B-5).
A Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Report prepare d by Kimley Horn evaluated that Project impact significance was determined by comparing project design and sustainability features to priority GHG reduction strategies outlined in the 2022 California Air Resources Board Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Ne utrality (2022 Scoping Plan), adopted for achieving statewide emissions reduction goals outlined in Assembly Bill (AB) 1279, and local plans to achieve GHG targets.
Specifically, the project is compared 2022 Scoping Plan Appendix D, Local Actions, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) goals. The 2022 CARB Scoping Plan identifies three priority areas that local jurisdictions should prioritize when creating a CAP and implementing sustainability measures associated with projects.
The three priority areas are: 1. T ransportation Electrification 2. VMT Reduction and 3. Building Decarbonization.
Transportation Electrification. Table 3 in the 2022 Scoping Plan, Appendix D, notes that to be clearly consistent with the State’s goals, projects should provide EV charging infrastructure that, at minimum, meets the most ambitious voluntary standard in the CALGreen code. The Project is consistent with this attribute as MM GHG -2 requires project EV charging to meet CALGreen Tier 2 standards (Kimley-Horn, 2023c, p. 39).
VMT Reduction. The Scoping Plan notes that to be consistent with the VMT reduction attribute, projects should be locate d on sites that are surrounded by existing urban uses and reuses or redevelops previously undeveloped or underutilized land; do not result in the loss or conversion of natural and working lands; and consist of transit -supportive densities (minimum of 20 re sidential dwelling units per acre). The proposed Project is surrounded by existing urban uses, does not result in the loss of natural and working lands (i.e., it would redevelop underutilized vacant disturbed land, with limited previous development of olde r residential properties), and has a density of approximately 30 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the Project site is located in close proximity to existing transit routes and the Riverside City Center. Furthermore, MM AQ -3 (see the Project Air Quality Assessment) would reduce mobile source emissions through the implementation of a TDM program (Kimley-Horn, 2023c, p. 39-40).
Building Decarbonization. Building decarbonization involves maximizing energy efficiency and eliminating use of fossil fuel ener gy. MM GHG -1 requires the Project to include renewable solar energy, MM GHG -2 requires the Project to meet CALGreen Tier 2 energy efficiency standards, MM AQ-5 requires the use of electric landscape equipment, MM GHG-3 requires electric Energy Star rated appliances, and MM AQ -13 prohibits natural gas use in residential structures (Kimley -Horn, 2023c, p. 40).
The proposed Project would include the ARB 2022 Scoping Plan Appendix D key residential and mixed-use project attributes as design features or mitigation (refer to MM GHG-1 through MM GHG- ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-39 August 2023
4). As noted above, these measures include EV charging stations, TDM measures, transit -supportive densities, and building decarbonization, as well as prohibiting wood -burning fireplaces, requiring solar panels, requiri ng energy conserving appliances, and requiring low -flow toilets and faucets (Kimley-Horn, 2023c, p. 40).
The city has not adopted a net zero threshold for land development projects where the vast majority of operational GHG emissions result from mobile -source emissions. As discussed in Response to Comment B-16, it is not currently feasible to entirely mitigate the Project’s mobile-source emissions due to current jurisdictional and technological constraints. Nonetheless, the City is still requiring all feasible mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s GHG emissions to the maximum extent practicable and anticipates that the Project’s GHG emissions will reduce over time as more stringent regulations come into effect and technology improves and becomes more widespread.
Comment B-5:
The commenter refers to two unrelated development projects which voluntarily chose to be “net - zero”, and refers to text in the 2017 CARB Scoping Plan that indicates that no net additional increase in GHG emissions is an appropriate overall objective.
Response to Comment B-5:
With regard to the projects referenced by the commenter, the 2022 CARB Scoping Plan notes that “…the Newhall and Tejon Ranch projects do not necessarily represent the type of development that California most needs to simultaneously tackle the housing and c limate crises…”. The 2022 CARB Scoping Plan notes that a number of key State actions should be accounted for in local target-setting, including zero -emission light -duty vehicles (relevant to transportation electrification); smart growth/VMT reduction (rele vant to vehicle miles traveled reduction); and new and existing residential and commercial buildings (relevant to building decarbonization). 1 The Scoping Plan cautions using net-zero targets and specifically notes that jurisdictions considering a net-zero target should carefully consider the implications it may have on emissions in neighboring communities and beyond. Appendix D page 18 of the Scoping Plan states the following:
Jurisdictions should also avoid creating targets that are impossible to meet as a basis to determine significance. For example, a net -zero target may imply that the GHG emissions of any project that are not reduced or offset to zero would be considered potentially significant. This may lead to undue burdens and frustrate project appr oval processes, which may be particularly problematic for residential development in climate-smart, infill areas. In addition, some jurisdictions have more land capacity to remove and store carbon, while others host GHG-emitting facilities that serve necessary functions and will take time to transition to new technology (e.g., municipal wastewater treatment plants, landfills, energy generation facilities).
Local governments have the discretion to adopt targets that apply to their jurisdictions as long as those targets are supported by substantial evidence.2

Draft EIR page 4.7 -24 through page 4.7 -28 discusses the Project’s consistency with CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan. As discussed in the Draft EIR, the Project would provide EV Charging infrastructure that wo uld exce ed building code requirements ( MM GHG -2) to facilitate transportation electrification; reduce VMT by providing high density residential development with a mix of uses and surrounded by existing development and requiring a Transportation Demand Mana gement (TDM) plan ( MM AQ -3); and facilitate building decarbonization by requiring energy efficient buildings exceeding building code standards ( MM AQ-5) and prohibiting the use of natural gas in residential structures (MM AQ-13).
As described above and in the Draft EIR, Project mitigation includes EV charging stations, TDM measures, transit-supportive densities, and building decarbonization, as well as prohibiting wood - burning fireplaces, requiring solar panels, requiring energy conserving appliances, and requiring low-flow toilets and faucets to minimize GHG emissions and ensure consistency with the State GHG reduction goals outlined in the CARB Scoping Plan.
The Project would be directly affected by the outcomes of existing regulations to reduce vehicle a nd energy emissions (vehicle trips and energy consumption would be less carbon intensive due to statewide compliance with future low carbon fuel standard amendments and increasingly stringent Renewable Portfolio Standards).

❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-41 August 2023
The commenter attempts to quantify the Project’s lifetime GHG emissions as a basis for suggesting that additional mitigation is warranted.
Response to Comment B-9:
The comment incorrectly applies an estimate for warehouse lifetime to the entire project.
Warehousing is just one component of the Project, which also includes residential, retail, hotel, and business park. Additional ly, according to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(a), mitigation measures must be feasible, roughly proportional, not inappropriately deferred, capable of being monitored or reported, fully enforceable, and based on substantial evidence. They must als o have a nexus to a legitimate governmental interest. Commenter does not suggest any such additional mitigation measures meeting this criteria that have not already been included for the Project.
Comment B-10:
The comment is a heading generally stating t he commenter’s opinion that the EIR identifies ineffective and insufficient mitigation.
Response to Comment B-10:
Refer to Response B-11.
Comment B-11:
The commenter claims that MM AQ-133 (sic) is vague and unenforceable.
Response to Comment B-11:
It is assumed that the commenter is referring to MM AQ-13, which specifically prohibits the use of natural gas in residential development and enforcement and verification is tied to building permits.
The building permit application process requires the submittal of plans for City review. As required by MM AQ -13, the City Building Department would confirm that plans do not show natural gas connections for residential development before permits can be issued. This measure is verified by the City through the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and enforced t hrough the development review and building inspection process. The comment does not provide any evidence that MM AQ-13 is vague and unenforceable.
Comment B-12:
The comment generally indicates that some of the GHG mitigation measures only apply to air quality and would not reduce GHG emissions.
Response to Comment B-12:
The comment does not identify a specific mitigation measure. See below for responses to specific comments.
Comment B-13:
❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖

The comment incorrectly states that MM GHG-5 is not likely to have a large impact of GHG emissions (sic).
Response to Comment B-13:
Presumably, commenter intended to state that MM GHG -5 would not have a large impact on GHG emissions. However, using all e lectric landscape equipment will progressively lower the Project’s carbon footprint as California increasingly obtains its electricity from renewable sources.
Comment B-14:
The comment is a heading generally stating the commenter’s opinion that the infea sibility finding lacks substantial evidence.

Refer to Response B-16.
Comment B-15:
The comment makes a general statement that there are other readily available mitigation measures to further reduce the Project’s GHG emissions. This comment is an introduction to comments that follow.
Response to Comment B-15:
Refer to Response B-16.
Comment B-16:
The commenter provides examples of additional mitigation measures it claims to be feasible.
Response to Comment B-16:
The best available emissions control technology suggested in the comment include requiring fleets to use alternative fuel types, limiting the use of heavy duty -diesel trucks, requiring the use of non - diesel fuels, and requiring the use of zero-emission commercial vehicles. The suggested measures are directed at reducing vehicle emissions. The Draft EIR includes numerous mitigation measure to reduce vehicle emissions. For example, MM AQ -3 through MM AQ -13 would be implemented to reduce operational emissions to the gre atest amount feasible. MM AQ -3 incorporates implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, MM AQ-4 prohibits the use of natural gas and wood burning fireplaces, and MM AQ-5 requires the use of electric landscape equipment. However, eve n with mitigation, operational emissions would remain above the SCAQMD’s thresholds for ROG, NOX, and CO. In addition, MM AQ-6 through MM AQ-12 are related to warehouse operations. MM AQ-6 requires the buildings’ electrical room to be sufficiently sized to hold additional panels that may be needed to supply power for the future installation of electric vehicle (EV) truck charging stations on the site and supply power to trailers with transport refrigeration units (TRUs) during the loading/unloading of refrigerated goods. MM AQ-7 requires all TRUs entering the Project site to be plug -in capable. MM AQ-8 requires that a ll truck access gates and loading docks within the Project site shall have a sign posted that requires the driver to turn off ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖

their engines when not in use. MM AQ -9 requires that vendor trucks for the industrial buildings include energy efficiency improvem ent features through the Carl Moyer Program. MM AQ -10 requires residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to provide electric vehicle (passenger car) charging stations and a minimum of 12 percent carpool parking spaces at each building. MM AQ-11 requires all outdoor cargo handling equipment shall be zero emission/powered by electricity and standard emergency generators to be Tier 4 certified. MM AQ -12 requires industrial tenants to comply with the SCAQMD Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (Rule 2305). MM AQ-13 would prohibit natural gas use in residential structures.
As noted on Draft EIR page 4.2 -19 and page 4.7 -9, SCAQMD Rule 2305 would require the implementation of reduction strategies for the proposed warehouse, which include requiring ZE/NZE truck vi sits, ZE yard trucks (already required by MM AQ-11), on-site ZE charging/fueling infrastructure, on-site energy systems, among others. Warehouse operators that do include enough measures would be required to pay a mitigation fee. Funds from the mitigation fee will be used to incentivize the purchase of cleaner trucks and charging/fueling infrastructure in communities nearby.
Additionally, the Draft EIR includes mitigation measure in Section 4.7, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, that would reduce emissions. MM GHG -1 requires the installation of photovoltaic solar panels to offset energy emissions . MM GHG -2 requires the Project to meet or exceed CALGreen Tier 2 standards to further improve energy efficiency (i.e., exceed the mandatory measures of the State Building Code); MM GHG-3 requires the residential projects to utilize energy efficient appliances; and MM GHG-4 requires the Project to divert 75 percent of waste from landfills.
Also, the State of California is regulating and requiring the use of cleaner trucks. C ARB’s Truck and Bus Regulation, which was adopted by CARB in 2008, requires that all diesel truck fleets operating in California adhere to an aggressive schedule for upgrading and replacing heavy -duty truck engines.
Beginning January 1, 2023, all heavy tru cks operating on California roads must have engines that meet 2010 emissions standards. Lighter trucks (those with a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,001 to 26,000 pounds) adhered to a similar schedule and were all replaced by 2020. Furthermore, in mid- 2022, CARB passed a landmark rule that will require all trucks sold in California to be zero-emission by 2045. 3 As stated by CARB, “The ‘Heavy -Duty Low NO X Omnibus Regulation’ will require manufacturers to comply with tougher emissions standards, overhaul engine testing procedures, and further extend engine warranties to ensure that emissions of NOX are reduced. CARB then-Chair Mary D. Nichols is quoted stating that “[t]his regulation ensures that conventional diesel trucks will run as cleanly as possible at every point in their duty cycle. It takes a significant bite out of smog -forming pollution in every region in the state….”.4
The imposition of additional mitigation measures by the City to control mobile source GHG emissions above and beyond those presen ted in the Draft EIR are either not feasible or are not necessary because the progression toward clean truck technologies is already occurring as regulated by the State. Compliance with State regulations as well as MM AQ-6 (EV truck charging infrastructure), MM AQ-7 (TRUs to be plug-in capable), and MM AQ-9 (energy efficiency for trucks/Carl Moyer Program) assure that the warehouse component of the Project will be highly progressive in attracting clean trucks.

❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-44 August 2023
While mitigation measures are included to reduc e mobile source emissions from heavy -duty trucks to the extent feasible, it is important to note that both the Project Applicant, future tenants, and the City are limited in their ability to regulate and enforce the types of vehicles that would access the Project site, and current industry practices and technological constraints preclude the inclusion of a mitigation measure that places in broad strokes restrictions on the types of trucks that would access the Project.
First, the vast majority of trucks tra veling throughout the State and nation are diesel -fueled, as currently permitted by State and federal laws and regulations. CARB and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are the only two agencies empowered to regulate mobile sources (i.e., automobiles and trucks). These agencies have consistently set more stringent regulations to reduce mobile source emissions and are expected to continue to do so; however, current regulations do allow for the use of diesel-fueled trucks, and the City nor Project Applic ant do not have the jurisdictional authority to regulate the types of vehicles that would access the Project site. If CARB’s desire is to require cleaner- than-presently-required engines, it is within CARB’s ability to do so. At present, CARB’s Truck and Bus Regulation is in place, which would require the Project’s future building tenants to comply with the applicable phase-in timelines required by state regulation to ensure that any heavy trucks serving the Project would meet engine requirements. Additionally, in June 2020, CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation that requires truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks and vans to electric zero-emission trucks beginning in 2024. By 2045, every new truck sold in California will be required to be zero-emission. When commercial availability of electric-powered long-haul trucks is more readily available in the future, it is expected that such trucks will be part of the Project’s operation, and mitigation measures are in place to require that the Project is accommodating of these vehicles in the future with electric charging infrastructure (MM AQ-6).
Additionally, the regional and nation -wide goods movement sector inherently relies on a combination of various truck fleets composed of primarily diesel-powered trucks to deliver goods to their destinations. Warehouse tenants typically rely on a mix of both corporate fleets and independent owner -operator trucks to deliver goods to their destinations. While some tenants of industrial facilities have t heir own fleets, many tenants rely on a mix of both corporate fleets and independent owner-operators, and they can thus not control the types of trucks that are accessing their facilities.
Current technologies further preclude the inclusion of mitigation measures that place exclusions on the types of vehicles that would access the Project site, beyond those regulations currently enacted by the State. The City acknowledges that the transporta tion sector is making strides in developing technologies that will reduce air pollutant and GHG emissions over time, and the City will promote and advance their use as they are developed and implemented on a wide scale; however, many of these advancements, such as electric trucks that would eliminate and/or substantially reduce the Project’s air pollutant and GHG emissions, are in their early stages and not yet commercially available or viable in mass. The suggestion to require prospective tenants to mainta in a fully alternatively fueled or electrified fleet that powers itself through solar panels on warehouse roofs is not yet feasible given the lack of availability of electric heavy -duty trucks. Moreover, there is not yet a sufficient network of electric ve hicle charging stations in the region to support long -distance haul tips. While the market share of electric heavy -duty trucks is anticipated to increase significantly in the coming years, placing a restriction on vehicles accessing the Project site would not be feasible.
Nonetheless, it is anticipated that the current mitigation measures that would be required of the Project will lead to discrete reductions in mobile-source emissions in the short-term, as well as lay a foundation for substantial reductions in air pollutant and GHG emissions in the future by providing ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-45 August 2023
the necessary infrastructure for the electrification of the goods movement sector. However, the City at this time cannot exclude diesel heavy -duty trucks, which are currently legal to operate i n California, from accessing the Project.
Comment B-17:
The comment asserts that there are mitigation measures available beyond those listed in the Draft EIR that could be imposed on the Project to reduce GHG emissions.
Response to Comment B-17:
The City has carefully considered all public comments suggesting additional mitigation measures including those suggested in the comment, and has identified all feasible mitigation measures.
Specifically, the comment identifies solar panels, solar water he aters, automatic light switches as possible mitigation measures. Draft EIR MM GHG-1 requires the installation of photovoltaic solar panels to offset energy emissions. MM GHG-2 requires the Project to meet or exceed CALGreen Tier 2 standards to further impr ove energy efficiency, MM GHG -3 requires the residential projects to utilize energy efficient appliances, and MM GHG-4 requires the Project to divert 75 percent of waste from landfills. Therefore, the Draft EIR incorporates the measures suggested by the co mment.
Meeting or exceeding CALGreen Tier 2 standards require homes to meet stringent efficiency standards including water heating and lighting. The City has imposed every mitigation measure that is feasible and is within its jurisdictional authority to impose and enforce.
Comment B-18:
The comment generally indicates existing mitigation measures can be strengthened and more measures may be added to the extent feasible.
Response to Comment B-18:
The comment does not identify specific measures. Refer to Response B-19 below.
Comment B-19:
The comment suggests that as MM AQ -5 requires landscaping equipment to be 100 percent electrically powered, other industrial equipment should also be required to be electrically powered.
The commenter also states that the prohibition of natural gas should be extended to commercial and industrial structures as well, and claims that there is no basis for why diversion of 75% of landfill waste is the maximum extent feasible for the Project.
Response to Comment B-19:
This is already required by Draft EIR MM AQ-11. MM AQ-11 requires All outdoor cargo handling equipment (including yard trucks, hostlers, yard goats, pallet jacks, and forklifts) are zero emission/powered by electricity.
MM AQ-13 – prohibits natural gas usage in residential structures MM GHG-3 – requires energy efficiency for residential appliances ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-46 August 2023
MM GHG-4 requires diverting 75 percent of landfill waste to be consistent with the State’s goal established in AB 341. The comment speculates that further diversion c ould be feasible but does not provide a recommendation or any support for that claim.
Comment B-20:
The commenter suggests that the Project could go beyond the mandatory measures of the California Green Building Standards Code and incorporate voluntary measures as mitigation.
Response to Comment B-20:
MM GHG -2 requires the project to meet the Tier 2 voluntary standards of the Green Building Standards Code. The Tier 2 voluntary standards add additional requirements beyond the mandatory and Tier 1 voluntary measures. Therefore, pursuant to MM GHG-2 the Project would go beyond the mandatory measures and incorporated voluntary measures, as requested in the comment. The comment also suggests including green roof strategies; however, the comment does not provid e indicate if this measure would be feasible in Jurupa Valley. Additionally, roof space would be occupied by solar panels, mechanical equipment, and skylights, which limit the feasibility of green roofs for the Project.
Comment B-21:
The commenter states that the Project should implement incentives to provide free or reduced parking rates for registered carpools or vanpools, provide on-site carsharing vehicles or bikes, allow for flexible or alternative work hours and provide access to convenient services within walking distance of the site.
Response to Comment B-21:
Draft EIR MM AQ-3 incorporates implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program. MM AQ -3 requires the TDM plan to discourage single -occupancy vehicle trips and encourage alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, taking transit, walking, and biking.
The TDM plan is required to include various measures to incentivize carpooling, including ride - matching assistance, preferential carpool parking, flexible work sched ules for carpools, half -time transportation coordinators, providing a web site or message board for coordinating rides, designating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas for ride -sharing vehicles, and including bicycle end of trip facilities. Additionally, MM AQ-10 requires residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to provide electric vehicle (passenger car) charging stations and a minimum of 12 percent carpool parking spaces at each building.
Comment B-22:
The comment makes an other general statement that there are other available mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s GHG emissions beyond those identified in the Draft EIR.
Response to Comment B-22:
The commenter is referred to Response to Comment B -16 for a summary of all mitigation measures that would reduce GHG emissions.
❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-47 August 2023
Comment B-23:
The comment is a heading generally stating the commenter’s opinion that solar panel installation is a feasible mitigation measure.
Response to Comment B-23:
Refer to Response B-24.
Comment B-24:
The comment requests solar panels.
Response to Comment B-24:
Draft EIR MM GHG-1 requires renewable energy generation (i.e., solar photovoltaic panels). Plans Policies, and Programs (PPP) 4.7-4 is a requirement in the California Building Code. MM GHG-1 goes beyond the building code requirement of requiring the buildings to be solar ready. The Project’s mitigation requires installation of solar panels on the entire solar ready zone (as defined by Section 110.10 of the 2022 California Energy Code). The comment incorrectly states that Draft EIR relies on an arbitrary 15 percent roof area.
Comment B-25:
The comment incorrectly states that the Draft EIR does not comment on the feasibility of solar mitigation measures.
Response to Comment B-25:
As stated in response B -24, Draft EIR MM GHG-1 requires installation of s olar panels on the entire rooftop solar ready zone (i.e., the maximum available roof space).
Comment B-26:
The comment is a heading generally stating the commenter’s opinion that offsets are feasible.
Response to Comment B-26:
Refer to Response B-27.
Comment B-27:
The commenter claims that the City can meet the additionality requirement by using a carbon registry which tracks offsets to ensure that they are additional and have not been claimed by anyone else.
Response to Comment B-27:
The comment asserts, without elaboration, that “[t]here are many available sources for the purchase of CEQA-compliant offsets …”. Although it is true that it is possible to purchase carbon offsets, even offset credits purchased from CARB -approved offset project registrie s have been determined in ❖ RESPONSES TO COMMENTS ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page II-48 August 2023
certain circumstances to not adequately assure that purchased offset credits accurately and reliably represent actual emissions reductions, or to not guarantee that such reductions are not already required by law. As discussed in the Draft EIR (pages 4.7 -18 through 4.7-19), this is due to the fact that “over -crediting” can occur based on the generation of credits from actions that would have happened regardless of the offset program. If an offset program generates credits from redu ctions that would have happened regardless of the offset program, and this causes the protocols to generate more credits than actual reductions in emissions, the emitter’s emissions are not truly offset, 5 and therefore would not be considered adequate mitigation under CEQA.
In addition, it should be noted that the vast majority of emissions that will be generated by the Project, including mobile emissions and energy emissions, are subject to the California Cap and Trade program, which places an economy-wide “cap” on major sources of GHG emissions, such as refineries, power plants, industrial facilities and transportation fuels. For example, “’Fuel suppliers’ are responsible for the carbon pollution from fuels under the Cap -and-Trade Program” and thus must acquire “allowances” to cover all carbon pollution from such fuels. 6 They may also purchase certain approved offsets to fulfill up to 8 percent of their compliance obligation. 7 Given that more than 95 percent of the emissions that will be generated by the Project are covered by Cap and Trade and thus are already subject to a regulatory program that includes offsets, Rather (Refer to Response B -4 for Consistency with 2022 Scoping Plan). The City has authority as lead agency under CEQA to exercise discretion in determining the efficacy of mitigation measures.
Comment B-28:
The commenter suggests that the City has enforcement authority related to carbon offsets.
Response to Comment B-28:
Refer to Response to Comment B -16 and B -27. Neither the City nor Project Applicant have the jurisdictional authority to regulate the types of vehicles that would access the Project site. CARB currently implements regulations to reduce emissions from mobile sources, which make up the majority of the Project’s emissions.
Comment B-29:
The commenter claims that CEQA does not restrict mitigation to local measures and that the Project can also create its own measures to sequester GHG emissions or offset Project emissions, such as a conservation easement or restoration.
Response to Comment B-29:
The Project includes 11.1 acres of open space, which would be dedicated as public park space. Also, refer to Response to Comment B-5. The Project is consistent with the local actions identified by CARB to be consistent with GHG reduction goals by i mplementing transportation electrification, VMT

In this alternative the industrial uses in the proposed Specific Plan are replaced wi th residential, storage, neighborhood commercial, and open space uses. The storage use would be long -term commercial or industrial storage that would involve far fewer truck trips than, for example, fulfillment center use. The type of long-term commercial or industrial storage contemplated by this alternative would include self -storage, including boat, RV and/or heavy equipment storage. The proportions of residential, storage, neighborhood commercial, and open space uses in the area converted from industria l use in this alternative would be the same as those for the four land use types in the proposed Specific Plan ; industrial use in the Specific Plan was used to calculate proportion for storage in this alternative. That is, the 67.3 acres of industrial use in the Specific Plan would be converted to 21 .0 acres of residential, 37 .0 acres of storage, 10 .0 acres of neighborhood commercial, and three acres of open space. The additional residential use in this alternative would be at the same density as the resid ential uses in the proposed Specific Plan (i.e., 25 units per acre ) and would all be developed in Phase 2 (Gorham, 2023).

3.2 Effect of Corrections and Revisions
The above technical corrections clarify and refine the EIR and provide supplemental information to the decision-makers and the public. CEQA requires recirculation of a Draft EIR only when “significant new information” is added to a Draft EIR after public notice of the availability of the Draft EIR has occurred (refer to California Public Resources Code Section 21092.1 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5), but before the EIR is certified. Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines specifically states:
❖ REVISIONS, CLARIFICATIONS, AND CORRECTIONS TO THE DRAFT EIR❖ 7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page III-7 August 2023
New information added to an EIR is not “significant” unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible wa y to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project’s proponents have declined to implement. “Significant new information” requiring recirculation includes, for example, a disclosure showing that:
• A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
• A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted to reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
• A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it. • The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 also provides that “[r]ecirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR... A decision not to recirculate an EIR must be supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record.”
The information added pursuant to th is Errata does not contain significant new information that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the Project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect that the Applicant has declined to adopt. Additionally, information provided in this Errata does not present a feasible Project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed in the EIR. All of the information added pursuant to this Errata merely clarifies, corrects, adds to, deletes, or makes insignificant modifications to information in the EIR. The City of Jurupa Valley has reviewed the information in this Errata and has determined that it does not change any of the basic findings or conclusions of the EIR, does not constitute “significant new information” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, and does not require recirculation of the Draft EIR.
IV. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
❖ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page IV-1 August 2023
IV. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
4.1 Introduction
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, which requires a Lead Agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” Additionally, Section 15097(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that a public agency adopt a program for monitoring or reporting mitigation measures and project revisions, which it has required to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects. This MMRP has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This MMRP has been updated based on changes made earlier in this Final EIR. New text is shown in underline and deleted text is shown in strikeout in the MMRP below.
The City of Jurupa Valley is the Lead Agency for the Project and is therefore responsible for administering and implementing the MMRP. A public agency may delegate reporting or monitoring responsibilities to another public agency or to a private entity that accepts the delegation; however, until mitigation measures have been completed, the Lead Agency remains responsible for ensuring implementation of mitigation measures in accordance with the MMRP.
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the Project. The evaluation of the Project’s impacts in the EIR applies mitigation measures (MMs) needed to avoid or redu ce potentially significant environmental impacts. This MMRP allows for monitoring implementation of the MMs required for the Project.
4.2 Organization
As shown on the following pages, each identified PDF and MM for the Project is organized by environmental impact area, with the following details:
• Responsible Party—the party that is responsible for implementing the project design feature or mitigation measure.
• Monitoring Party—the agency to which reports involving feasibility, compliance, implementation, and development are made.
• Implementation Stage—the phase of the Project during which mitigation measure shall be monitored.
4.3 Administrative Procedures and Enforcement
This MMRP shall be enforced throughout all phases of the Project, as applicable . The project Applicant shall be responsible for implementing each MM and shall be obligated to provide certification, as identified below, to the applicable monitoring and enforcement agencies.
Furthermore, the Applicant shall maintain records demonstrating compliance with each MM. Such records shall be made available to the City of Jurupa Valley upon request.
During the construction phase and prior to the issuance of building permits, the Applicant shall retain an independent Construction Monitor (either via the City or through a third -party consultant), ❖ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ❖
7124/The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan Final EIR Page IV-2 August 2023
approved by the City of Jurupa Valley, who shall be responsible for monitoring implementation of MMs during construction activities consistent with the monitoring p hase and frequency set forth in this MMRP.
The Construction Monitor shall also prepare documentation of the Applicant’s compliance with the PDFs during construction every 90 days in a form satisfactory to the City of Jurupa Valley . The documentation must be signed by the Applicant and Construction Monitor and be included as part of the Applicant’s Compliance Report. The Construction Monitor shall be obligated to immediately report to the Enforcement Agency any non -compliance with the MMs within two businesses days if the Applicant does not correct the non -compliance within a reasonable time of notification to the Applicant by the monitor or if the non -compliance is repeated. Such non -compliance shall be appropriately addressed by the Enforcement Agency.
4.4 Program Modification
After review and approval of the final MM RP by the Lead Agency, minor changes and modifications to the MMRP are permitted, but can only be made subject to approval by the Lead Agency. The Lead Agency, in conjunction with any appropriate agencies or departments, will determine the adequacy of any proposed change or modification. This flexibility is necessary in light of the nature of the MMRP and the need to protect the environment. No changes will be permitted unless the MMRP continues to satisfy the requirements of CEQA, as determined by the Lead Agency.
The Project shall be in substantial conformance with the PDFs contained in this MMRP. The enforcing departments or agencies may determine substantial conforma nce with MMs in the MM RP, at their discretion and within reason. If the department or agency cannot find substantial conformance, a MM is allowed to be modified or deleted as follows: the enforcing department or agency, or the decision maker for a subsequent discretionary project related approval finds that the modification or deletion complies with CEQA, including CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, which could include the preparation of an addendum or subsequent environmental clearance, if necessary , to analyze the impacts from the modifications to or deletion of the MMs. Any addendum or subsequent CEQA clearance shall explain why the MM is no longer needed, not feasible, or the other basis for modifying or deleting the MM. Under this process, the modification or deletion of a MM shall not, in and of itself, require a modification to any Project discretionary approval unless the City of Jurupa Valley also finds that the change to the MM results in a substantial change to the Project or the non -environmental conditions of approval.

PROJECT LOCATION
The City of Jurupa Valley covers approximately 43.5 square miles within the County of Riverside.
The City is bordered by unincorporated County of San Bernardino and the City of Fontana to the north, the City of Riverside to the east and south, and the City of Eastvale to the west. The Project site is approximately 248 acres of predominately vacant land located in the eastern portion of the City of Jurupa Valley, near the Santa Ana River and State Route 60 (SR -60), in the County of
2 Riverside (the “Project site”). (See attached Exhibit 1, Regional Location Map and Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity Map).
The Project site is generally bordered by SR-60 to the north, the Santa Ana River to the east, 34th Street to the south, and Rubidoux Boulevard to the west. Internal to the Site is Wallace Street where it crosses 34 th Street to the south and continues northeast to northwest , intersecting with Hall Avenue near the northern site boundary. Hall Avenue is also located within the Specific Plan area between Frontage Road to the west and Wallace Street to the east; Hall Avenue continues north over SR-60.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project consists of a new Specific Plan (The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan) (“Specific Plan”) that would replace the Emerald Meadows Ranch Specific Plan (SP-337) and EIR (SCH 2004031007) that was approved by Riverside County in 2005, prior to the City’s incorporation.
The new Specific Plan would permit development of up to 1,192 new residential units; approximately 3 million square feet of commercial and industrial land uses (including warehouse and logistic uses); a hotel with conference and hospitality area; and approximately 11 acres of parks and open space (the “Project”). The proposed Specific Plan includes the following land use components as shown in Table 1 below and depicted in Exhibit 4 attached.

Residential. The residential area of the Specific Plan would consist of 1,192 new dwelling units including both multi-family and single-family unit types, and assumed 4 existing units, on 42 acres.
The residential uses would be clustered in the southeast portion of the Project site adjacent to existing residential uses and away from the adjacent freeway. The Specific Plan would include requirements for community amenities (i.e., pools, children play area, social gathering spots, etc.) for the residents, and traffic calming devices designed to divert truck traffic away from the proposed residential neighborhoods as well as existing residential neighborhoods in the vicinity of the Project site. Buffer areas will be required between residential uses and any industrial and warehousing uses.
Commercial. The commercial area of the Specific Plan would include Commercial Neighborhood, Commercial Retail, and Commercial Tourist land uses. The Commercial Neighborhood would include a neighborhood shopping center to serve the local area with a grocery store, restaurants, retail stores, and community services. The Commercial Retail area would be designated for larger big-box retailers to serve regional consumers that may include furniture and product showrooms with on-site assembly and inventory storage. The Commercial Retail area would also include an integrated-use overlay to allow a business that combine their various business operations into a single business operation at one site including a traditional “brick and mortar” retail showroom for display and sale of products to the public and may include product assembly/light manufacturing; warehousing; customer pick -up and/or shipping/receivin g. The Commercial Tourist area would include a hotel, exhibit/concert hall, tourist visitor center, or other hospitality and entertainment- related uses. The total commercial area would encompass approximately 98 acres.
Industrial & Business Park . The industrial area would have a maximum of 1.5 million square feet of building area intended to provide a wide range of industrial uses including research and development; light manufacturing, assembly and processing of manufactured goods and materials; w arehousing and distribution including e -commerce, high-cube logistics and cross - dock facilities. on approximately 67 acres. An approximately 30,000 square foot business park intended for research and development, technology centers, corporate offices, clean industry, and supporting retail uses would be included on approximately 8 acres. There would be an open
4 space buffer between the industrial/logistics use and the residential uses to the south. Truck traffic into and out of this area would be prohibited from traveling into the proposed and existing residential areas.
Open Space. The Project would provide approximately 11 acres of both active and passive open space for residents, employees , and visitors in the form of neighborhood parks, urban parks, recreational facilities, community centers, play areas, greenbelts, and off-street trails. The Open Space Land Use Area also incorporates landscape buffers and other water quality management practices to treat stormwater.
Signage and Monuments . The Project would include standards for sig nage that could be installed within each land use area. Signage standards may include but not be limited to commercial/industrial signs (wall and monument), directional signage, entry features/monuments, and freeway-oriented signs, including Project pylon signs and billboards. The goal would be to provide a comprehensive and cohesive approach to signage throughout the Project site.
Circulation. The circulation system would be designed to minimize traffic on the adjacent neighborhood streets and provide for efficient circulation throughout the Project site and divert truck traffic away from the proposed and existing residential neighborhoods. Thro ugh the EIR process on-site and off -site improvements aimed to improve traffic flows on the adjacent local roadways and the adjoining SR-60 are evaluated. Project street improvements would include both on-site and off-site roadways as well as the vacation of certain existing roads or portions of street rights-of-way within the Project site boundaries.
Infrastructure/Utilities. The Project would be required to install sewer, water, storm drain and dry utilities throughout the site in size and capacity to meet the requirements of the development.
The EIR analyzes both on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements required for the Project.
Project Phasing. The Project would be phased through multiple projects over many years. Phase 1 is envisioned to start with demolition in 2023, with completion of buildings in 2025. Start of construction of Phase 2 is envisioned with grading in 2026; building completion will be in 2028 Required Entitlements. The following entitlements are required for the proposed Project:
1. New Specific Plan (The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan) and repeal of the existing Emerald Meadows Specific Plan (SP-337).
2. General Plan Amendment to change the underlyi ng land use designations to accommodate the proposed multi -use Project; create a new General Plan Overlay, the "Commercial Retail -Integrated Use Overlay and establish the Commercial Retail - Integrated Use Overlay on a portion of the Project site; and to est ablish the Agua Mansa Warehouse and Distribution Center Overlay Zone on a portion of the Project site.
3. Change of Zone to modify the existing Specific Plan Zone from the Emerald Meadows Ranch Specific Plan to the new District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan
4. Development Agreement to vest the Project and allow for the orderly development within the Specific Plan area.
5. Tentative Maps(s) to subdivide the Project site into several parcels with varying land uses and including street vacations.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. CEQA Guidelines Section 15063 provides that if a Lead Agency determines that an EIR will clearly be required for a project, an Initial Study is not required. The DEIR prepared for the proposed Project is a full-scope EIR, and has included each of the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G topical issue areas listed below.
5 • Aesthetics • Land Use and Planning
• Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Mineral Resources • Air Quality • Noise
• Biological Resources • Population and Housing
• Cultural Resources • Public Services
• Energy • Recreation
• Geology and Soil • Transportation
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Tribal Cultural Resources
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Utilities and Service Systems • Hydrology and Water Quality • Wildfire
The DEIR addressed the short -term and long -term effects of the proposed Project on the environment. The DEIR evaluated the potential for the proposed Project to cause direct and indirect growth-inducing impacts, as well as cumulative impacts. Alternatives to the proposed Project were also evaluated in the DEIR.
Mitigation measures for those impacts that are determined to be potentially significant are included in the DEIR. And, a mitigation monitoring and report program (MMRP) has been developed as required by Section 15097 of the CEQA Guidelines.
