UBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.A
STUDY SESSION: OVERVIEW OF RECENT L EGISLATIVE

DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive a presentation and conduct a study session regarding affordable housing.

BACKGROUND
The California State Legislature has in recent years enacted numerous legislative reforms aimed at addressing persistent challenges in housing affordability and availability statewide. These legislative efforts reflect a concerted push to streamline the development process, encourage greater housing production and housing types , and enhance housing equity across the state. Given the potential impact of these statewide reforms on our city's planning and zoning regulations, it is essential for local stakeholders to stay informed.

Today’s City Coun cil workshop will provide an overview of recent legislative developments so that our City may reflect on the potential effects they may have on our city's housing dynamics as well as any impacts on future policy discussions and decision- making processes.

In addition to covering legislative changes at the state level, staff will provide an overview of affordable housing projects currently located within the City and where the public can find further information about affordable housing resources. Staff will also provide the commonly understood definition of affordable housing, and briefly describe the benefits these types of development provide our community.

Assembly Bill 101 states that LBNC’s must be allowed in mixed use and non -residential zones where multi -family uses are allowed with a ministerial process . Ms.

Campbell reported that City staff conducted a citywide land use survey to identify potential sites for LBNC’s. The commercial neighborhood zone (C -N) was identified as the one zone that qualifies for this type of facility; however, there are currently no parcels in the City t hat have this zone designation . In looking at the C-N zone, City staff are also recommending various revisions, which could improve compatibility for LBNC facilities. Ms. Campbell provided three possible sites, which could be rezoned to the C-N zone.

Further discussion followed regarding how the C-N zone could negatively impact residential areas.

By consensus, the C ity Council receive d and file d the staff presentation on Low Barrier Navigation Centers (LBNCs) and provide d input and direction to comply with state law and a Housing Element certification mandate to provide for LBNCs.

O
n June 30, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom approved statutory changes to Health and Safety Code (HSC), commencing with Section 50780, which establishes the Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization (MORE) Program. The intent of this legislation is to ensure that Mobilehome Parks can continue to provide a significant source of affordable homeownership for California residents.

Key policy goals of the MORE program include:
- Rehabilitation of Mobilehome Parks that have the most severe health and safety concerns;
- Providing funding for the rehabilitation and/or replacement of individual Mobilehomes;
- The creation of Affordability Restrictions for assisted Mobilehome Parks.

At the conclusion of a statewide competitive grant application process, Jurupa Valley was awarded $3 million from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to complete the activities between December 18, 2023 and April 5, 2026
On April 18, 2024, the City Council authorized the acceptance of the MORE program funding from HCD.

ANALYSIS

To assure the success of the MORE p rogram, staff recommends agreements for consultant services included as attachments to this report. The consultant services are completely funded by the grant.

Each year, GRC has assisted the City with the administration of the Affordable Homeowner Rehabilitation Grants Program funded through the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation. Similar to the MORE program, t he Homeowner Rehabilitation Program provides grants to qualified income residents to make needed repairs on their homes. GRC has provided exemplary performance for that program, that included:

• Project Management and Coordination
• Grant Processing
• Grant Documents
• Property Inspection/Work Write-Up
• Bid Package
• Construction Management
• Grant Portfolio Management

For the MORE program, GRC, with bilingual staff available, will conduct the initial inspection of the home with the applicant to identify any existing code violations and repairs or improvements requested by the applicant that are eligible through the program.

GRC will prepare the line -item cost estimat e of the proposed work and photograph all needed repairs . Once the grant is approved by City Staff, GRC will provide the homeowner with a list of licensed contractors that are in good standing with the City and State. GRC will direct the bidding process, answer contractor questions and verify that all work is completed and satisfactory to the homeowner.

Tripepi Smith has successfully assisted the City in the past with citywide communication services specializing in public affairs, marketing, technology, social media, photography, videography, and website development.

To raise awareness of the program and provide helpful application tips for mobilehome/ manufactured homeowners, staff worked with Tripepi Smith to design a marketing campaign, which includes an animated video, social media posts, a logo and educational flyers. Tripepi staff is bilingual and will provide all materials in English and Spanish.

The following deliverables will convey key messaging surrounding the MORE program, with the ultimate goal of increasing program participation among eligible residents. These estimates are subject to change based upon the level of support needed and number of revisions; details on our approach to billing and hourly rates can be found on page 5.

PROVAL OF FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH

FIRSTCARBON SOLUTIONS CORPORATION FOR THE

PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR
THE PROPOSED “RIO VISTA SPECIFIC PLAN” PROJECT, (CASE
NUMBER: MA16045), (APPLICANT: RICHLAND COMMUNITIES)
RE

COMMENDATION
1) That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Fifth Amendment to the Agreement with First Carbon Solutions Corporation for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed “ Rio Vista Specific Plan ” project in an amount not t o exceed $549,650.00, to be funded entirely by the applicant’s advance deposit sufficient to cover the EIR administrative costs.

BACKGROUND
On July 21, 2016, the City Council approved an agreement between the City and First Carbon Solutions for consultant services for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Rio Vista Specific Plan, a project proposed by Richland Communities (“Agreement”). The original Agreement amount for the scope of services was $172,249.

On April 4, 2019, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the Agreement for additional studies and additional tasks in the amount of $10,250.

In February of 2021, applicant Richland Communities submitted a revised land use plan that added industrial and business parkland uses to the Specific Plan, which required a Second Amendment to the Agreement to cover the additional scope of work. On June 7, 2021, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the agreement in the amount of $147,180, bringing the total contract amount to $329,679.

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

On June 16, 2022, the City Council approved a Third Amendment for $83,635 plus a $12,546 contingency for a total of $425,860. This amount was needed due to expanded scope and additional biological technical studies related to the Palmer Oak tree.

On November 2, 2023 the City Council approved a F ourth Amendment for $69,800, bringing the total contract amount to $ 495,660. The amount was necessary to pay for increased coordination and the complexity of the project and additional review cycles of the administrative draft EIR.

ANALYSIS
First Carbon Solutions Corporation is requesting a Fifth Amendment to the Agreement to cover additional labor costs for completing the preparation of the Final EIR.

See Exhibit A-5 of Attachment 1 (Fifth Amendment to FirstCarbon Solutions Corporation Agreement for Rio Vista Specific Plan EIR) for details of the additional scope of services. The cost of the services to be provided by FirstCarbon Solutions Corporation under the Fifth Amendment is $53,990 bringing the total contract amount to $549,650.

STATUS OF PROJECT
The City is preparing the Final Environmental Impact Report including the response to comments. The Project is tentatively scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on May 22, 2024, and a City Council public hearing in June 2024.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed Fifth Amendment augmented cost of $53.990 will have no effect on City costs or revenues. Full cost recovery will occur inasmuch as the City will require the applicant to deposit the total contract value with the City prior to the commencement of work. The applicant is aware of the proposed Fifth Amendment and has agreed to deposit the necessary funds to cover the additional work.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Decline to authorize the City Manager to execute the Fifth Amendment and give appropriate direction; (No action, maintaining the status quo)

2. Defer action and request additional information.

HIRD AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF

JURUPA VALLEY AND CIVICA LAW GROUP, APC, FOR ON -CALL

LEGAL SERVICES
RE

COMMENDATION
1) T
hat the City Council approve the Third Amendment to the A greement between the City of Jurupa Valley and Civica Law Group, APC (CIVICA) for On-Call Legal Services and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement in substantially the form and format attached and as approved by the City Attorney.

ACKGROUND
T
he City of J urupa Valley has a contract for specialized code cases with Civica Law Group, APC, who assists the City with several code enforcement matters and projects to enhance community standards and update the City’s processes to comply with new legislation.

AN
ALYSIS
Civ
ica Law has been assisting City Code Enforcement staff with current on-going litigation on a code compliance case. The current agreement calls for a not to exceed amount of $100,000 per fiscal year on the Special Legal Services account . The city has virtually exhausted its financial resources within the division due to the on- going litigation and complexity of the code cases that the City has assigned to Civica Law.

Staff is proposing the Third Amendment to the Agreement to extend the budget limit so the City can continue its defense of the litigation and pursue code compliance, as directed by the City Council. The proposed Amendment will increase Civica’s Agreement by $40,000 to a total of $140,000 for the remainder of this Fiscal Year 2023- 2024, then reduce the annual budget to $125,000 for the following fiscal year, as it is anticipated that

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

the litigation on both cases will be reduced during the next fiscal year, although legal services on the compliance case and others will still be needed. The Amendment adjusts the hourly rate for legal services to bring compensation more in line with market rates for attorney services, although the rates are still well below market.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

If the Second Amendment is approved, the not to exceed amount will be increased to $140,000.00 for the remainder of this fiscal year and then to $125,000.000 for the following fiscal years throughout the term of the Agreement. The majority of services provided will continue to be for on-going litigation for the cases and updates to the City’s processes to comply with changing laws involving code enforcement . Should the City prevail, the costs incurred during litigation could then go through a cost recovery process once cases are resolved.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Approve the Third Amendment between the City and CIVICA LAW GROUP APC

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

UBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER T HE COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ( CDBG) ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025
RE

COMMENDATION

1. T
hat the City Council conduct a public hearing and receive any public testimony; and

2. That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-26, entitled:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY ADOPTING THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (202 4-2025) FOR THE CITY’S

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM

BACKGROUND
O
n July 20, 2017, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD ) informed the City of its eligibility to become a direct grantee entitlement city for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Subsequently, the City of Jurupa Valley successfully began the process to become HUD direct grantee entitlement city. Prior to 2018, the County of Riverside managed the City’s CDBG program.

Th
e City of Jurupa Valley adopted and submitted its first Con solidated Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the 2018-22 period on July 7, 2018. On April 20, 2023, the City adopted and submitted the second Consolidated Plan (2023-2028).

A
s a Community Development Block Grant recipient, the City is required to adopt and submit an Annual Action Plan each year that implements the goals of the Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan is a budgetary document that describes how the City will spend their CDBG allocation. The budget is developed within the guidelines that HUD

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

sets forth. There are three areas of expenditures that are permitted for the CDBG program:

Administration – Administrative costs that the City incurs to operate the CDBG program are fundable, but are capped at 20% of the City’s total allocation. These funds help cover the staff , legal, and environmental review costs incurred to manage the day -to-day operation of the CDBG program.

Public Services – Public service funds are distributed by the City to grantees in the form of Public Service Grants. These funds are capped at 15% of the City’s total allocation.

Grantees typically w ork on social issues such as poverty, homelessness, access to affordable housing and community health.

Public Infrastructure & Buildings – Public infrastructure and building funds provide financing for infrastructure rehabilitation projects. HUD guidelines largely dictate the nature and location of these projects. So far, the City has used these funds to provide ADA-related upgrades and perform major pavement rehabilitation in low -moderate income areas. These funds are also used to finance the City’s home rehabilitation program, which helps low -moderate income homeowners make needed repairs to their property.

ANALYSIS

Staff is pleased to report that the City of Jurupa Valley CDBG Program is in compliance with all HUD requirements.

During the previous five fiscal years, the City has received approximately $1.2 million per year in CDBG funds. Prior to Jurupa Valley becoming an entitlement city, Jurupa received significantly less CDBG funds ($354,778 in 2017-18 fiscal year). To date, the City has not received the official letter fro m HUD with the exact total of CDBG Funds for fiscal year 2024-2025.

( No official notification of the HUD allocation for FY 2024-25 received at time of Staff Report)
* Under the Riverside County CDBG program

As required by HUD, a City Council public hearing must be held in order to gather input on the 202 4-25 Draft Annual Action Plan . The 2024-25 Draft Annual Action Plan was subject to a formal noticing and public hearing period. The document is available on the City’s website and the City Hall front counter . Per the Citizen Participation Plan, this document was also made available at the Louis Robidoux Library and the Glen Avon Library.

The Draft 2024-25 Annual Action Plan was published on April 2, 2024. Before adopting the Draft 202 4-25 Annual Action Plan, the City must conduct a 30 -day public hearing period and accept public comments. As part of the publication requirements to advertise the public hearing period, the City published a notice in the Press Enterprise newspaper and the City’s website. The notice was also posted at City Hall and the City’s website.

The deadline for the City to approve and submit their finalized Annual Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2024. While relatively small compared to the City’s total General Fund, the Draft 2024-25 Annual Action Plan provides an important funding source for low-moderate income seniors , children and property owners, the homeless, and persons at risk of becoming homeles s due to housing instability . The 2024 -25 Annual Action Plan also provides a key source of infrastructure funding directed at the City’s low-moderate income areas, which will generate construction activity and help stimulate the local economy.

The Draft 2024-25 Annual Action Plan outlines the planned expenditures of CDBG funds for the 2024-25 program year. Please note: The final CDBG budget allocation has not yet been provided by HUD to the City of Jurupa Valley. Allocations by administrative (capped at 20% of total) and public services (capped at 15% of total) budget categories will be finalized when City receives actual allocation of CDBG funds from HUD.

CDBG Annual Allocation (2024-25)

Activities % Amount
Administration 13% $140,000
Public Service Grants (maximum
is 15% of annual allocation) 15%
$160,000
Other Projects 72% $750,000
Total Allocation - 2024-2025 100% $1,050,000

The Action Plan implements the goals of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan for 2023-28 includes the following main goals for the next five years:

1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for the City of Jurupa Valley ("City") satisfies federal requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate- income individuals.

Each activity to be undertaken with CDBG funds must meet one of the three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or • Meet a community need having a particular urgency.

In order to receive CDBG funds, the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a multi-year strategic plan that identifies priority housing and community needs. It also identifies the activities the City will implement over a five-year period to address needs. The Action Plan, a component of the Consolidated Plan, is the City's annual expenditure plan for the use of CDBG funds to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.

City received from HUD a CDBG allocation of approximately $1,050,000( estimate), which is approximately 50,000 less than the City's 2023 grant. In addition, approximately $25,000 in prior year uncommitted CDBG funds are available for programming, resulting in a total of approximately $1,075,000 available for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

The 2024-2025 Action Plan details the specific activities the City will undertake with CDBG funds to address housing and community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Planned activities include housing rehabilitation, public infrastructure improvements, public social services grants, and program administration (including fair housing services).

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The City's overall objective for the CDBG program, as specified in the Consolidated Plan section, mirrors HUD's overall objective for the program: to create a viable community by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate- income. To accomplish these objectives, the following Consolidated Plan goals have been identified based on the input of residents and other community stakeholders:
• Conserve the existing supply of affordable housing by supporting federal rental assistance vouchers and certificates administered by the Housing Authority of Riverside County. • Assist with the preservation of the City's owner-occupied single-family housing stock. • Support housing and services for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. • Support community social services benefitting low- and moderate- income persons and those with special needs.
• Provide needed public infrastructure and facility improvements benefitting low- and moderate- income persons and those with special needs.
• Ensure quality, professional administration of federal funds, including the provision of fair housing services to address discriminatory actions that impede access to housing.

1. Introduction
The City of Jurupa Valley has taken several steps to obtain the input of community residents and stakeholders to develop the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. Consultation efforts include community meetings, and public notices and hearings. The City also consulted with state and regional agencies and local service providers. Additionally, the City utilized its internet webpage, social media, and the local community newspaper to notify residents of the opportunity to review and comment on the draft 2024- 2025 Annual Action Plan. Actions taken by the City are consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan which is incorporated into the Consolidated Plan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified Jurupa Valley’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element on April 22, 2022. The Housing Element emphasizes coordination with the Riverside County Housing Authority to pursue grant funding and other incentives to promote and assist the nonprofit and/or private production of housing affordable to lower income households. Among assisted housing providers, Jurupa Valley partners with the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (HACR), which assists renter households with HUD-funded housing assistance vouchers and certificates.

The City of Jurupa Valley has a total of 340 vouchers being utilized within City limits.

With respect to service agencies, the City has various agreements in place with non-profits to provide homeless and other services. City intends to continue to work with service providers and is also exploring working with other nearby cities to provide more comprehensive services to meet community needs.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

As a “Participating City” in the Urban County CDBG program, Jurupa Valley contributed to the Riverside County Continuum of Care (RC-CoC) planning process through the County of Riverside. As a direct CDBG grantee, the City will continue to participate in the RC-CoC by contributing to the regional CoC planning process. Additionally, the City initiated the process to build relationships with local CoC service providers in order to address the needs of the City’s homeless.

The City implemented its Citizen Participation Plan to obtain a broad range of resident input during the preparation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.

Community Meetings: The City Council has established the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), a five-member committee of City residents charged with evaluating and recommending public service grants for the Council's consideration. On January 11, 2024, an informal meeting was held by the City to provide basic CDBG information and advise committee members, public service grant applicants, and the community of the upcoming grant application process. On February 8, 2024, CDAC held its first meeting at which grant applicants presented their request for public service grant funding, and the Committee accepted additional public input regarding CDBG public service grant funding. Finally, on February 22, 2024, the CDAC meet for a second time to hear additional public input regarding CDBG public service grant funding. During this meeting, the Committee developed funding recommendations for the City Council's consideration.

Notices/Website: On April 2, 2024, notices in English and Spanish were published in the Press Enterprise announcing the required 30-day public comment period for the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The notices also announced the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan public hearing to be held by the City Council on May 2, 2024. See Attachment 2, for a copy of the notices and a summary of public comments.

Public Hearings: The City Council held a public hearing at a regularly noticed and scheduled meeting (May 2, 2024) to obtain public input regarding the draft Annual Action Plan and the proposed use of 2024-2025 CDBG funds.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Other resources that are available to carry out activities that address the goals of the Consolidated Plan are limited:
• HARC reports that 416 Jurupa Valley households received rental assistance during the January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 calendar year period. It is anticipated that approximately 416 households will be assisted by HARC annually. • On August 18th, 2022, the City adopted its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO). This program requires that one of every 25 new units (4%) be reserved for households at the 50% area median income level. Projects of six or more units are required to participate in the program. Affordable units must be provided on-site, off-site, or through the payment of an in-lieu fee. To date, the IHO has not resulted in new affordable units – though – the City does have some pending projects where the developers have committed to pay the fees.

CDBG does not require matching funds.

15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City conducted a detailed inventory of potential housing sites as part of the 2017 General Plan process. This study evaluated specific parcels, development constraints, and potential development capacity. The analysis indicated that 902 vacant parcels (or 2,432 vacant acres) in the City appear to be developable for housing. Additionally, parts of 73 additional parcels appear to be developable. These parcels, which are classified as Partially Constrained Parcels, include approximately 677 acres of additional land that could be used to accommodate new residential development in the City. A comprehensive list of these parcels is found in the City’s General Plan Appendices.

Discussion
Funding resources to implement the City’s Consolidated Plan are limited. It is anticipated that CDBG funding will continue to be reduced. With respect to other resources, the City will continue to support HARC’s efforts to secure new rental assistance resources. As outlined above, an inventory of vacant land has been developed by the City. Additionally, the City’s Housing Element indicates the City will continue to implement an Inclusionary Housing Program, which will ensure the creation of affordable housing units and/or the accumulation of in-lieu-fees that can be used to assist with the development of affordable housing.

FY 2024-2025 is the seventh year the City will administer CDBG funds on its own. The City worked with Riverside County staff to implement several Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) related projects, public facility improvement projects, and public services. The City will continue to utilize CDBG funds to construct street and sidewalk improvements to improve accessibility and mobility for individuals with disabilities and to improve neighborhoods within the CDBG eligible Census Tract Block Groups.

In addition to funding services to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, public service grants funding in 2024-2025 includes funding for senior services and youth services. Fair housing services will provide residents, landlords, and property managers with information and knowledge regarding fair housing laws with the goal of reducing or eliminating housing discrimination. This program will benefit all Jurupa Valley residents including protected classes such as individuals with disabilities and families with children. Finally, as indicated in the Consolidated Plan, the City will implement a housing rehabilitation program for qualified low- and moderate- income homeowners.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Approximately 91% of planned CDBG-expenditures during FY 2024-2025 will be available on a citywide basis. These activities include housing rehabilitation, homeless services, public services, fair housing services, and program administration. Public infrastructure improvements slated for funding are eligible due to the percentage of low- and moderate- income residents residing in the project's service area. A map of the City's CDBG Eligible Areas is provided as Attachment 3.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City will utilize a portion of CDBG funds during FY 2024-2025 to support agencies that provide homeless services.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City will utilize CDBG funds to fund homeless outreach services specifically targeting chronic homeless individuals. These services will be provided by Path of Life Ministries, which will utilize its mobile outreach team to connect with 75 homeless individuals and provide a variety of services and referrals designed to meet basic needs and emergency shelter. This outreach staff will also conduct vulnerability assessments to determine if homeless individuals are ready to enter rapid rehousing or permanent supportive housing.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons There are no emergency or transitional housing beds in Jurupa Valley; however, during FY 2024-2025, the City will partner with Path of Life which will provide a minimum of four shelter beds (1,000 bed nights) for Jurupa Valley homeless individuals on any given night. An estimated 50 individuals will benefit from these services.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
HUD's 2022 Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs Housing Inventory Count Report indicates there are 1,506 permanent supportive housing beds throughout the Riverside County Continuum of Care. Most beds (824) are tied to the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) rental housing voucher program that is administered by the HARC. As of February, 2024 (for the January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 calendar year period), HARC reports 416 Jurupa Valley households currently receive rental assistance, including 19 Jurupa Valley veteran households receive rental assistance (7 veterans are on the rental assistance waitlist). HARC also reports that 724 self-reported homeless individuals with ties to Jurupa Valley are on the waitlist for federal rental assistance. The City will continue to

Annual Action Plan
2024-25
29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
support HARC and its efforts to secure additional VASH vouchers, Shelter Plus Care vouchers, and rental assistance vouchers and certificates in an effort to address the needs of these homeless individuals and households.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

According to HUD's Strategies for Preventing Homelessness, "Homelessness prevention is an essential element of any effort to end homelessness either locally or nationwide." This HUD report indicates it is less expensive and disruptive to keep a household housed-in-place. To this end, the City will allocate CDBG funds to Path of Life to support their homelessness prevention program. The City will also participate in regional homeless planning efforts, including the RC-CoC's Discharge Plan, which aims to prevent individuals leaving institutions, hospitals, etc., from becoming homeless.

Discussion
The City's homeless strategy is to help prevent homelessness and to support local service providers as they engage and assess the needs of the City's homeless population. Significant CDBG funding is allocated to Path of Life Ministries to provide an array of homeless services, including outreach, engagement, short-term shelter, and support services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome barriers are listed in the City's Housing Element and were outlined in the Consolidated Plan – a summary is provided below.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The Jurupa Valley Housing Element (2021-2029), certified by the state in April 2022, identifies actions the City has planned to reduce barriers to the development of affordable housing. To encourage lower- cost housing production, the City has identified various incentives to consider for property owners and developers. Among these possible incentives are modifications to development standards, reduced development fees, expedited permit processing, and direct financial assistance from in-lieu Inclusionary Housing Program (IHP) fees. In addition, the City has established a goal to create incentives to encourage creative housing solutions such as single room occupancy dwellings, tiny homes and other emerging housing products targeted to homeless persons, seniors, persons with disabilities and other low-income persons. No projects are currently underway that are utilizing these incentives.

Discussion:

The City's Housing Element and Consolidated Plan identify several barriers to the creation of affordable housing opportunities. The Housing Element has also identified several actions the City can take to reduce the impact of these barriers on affordable housing development; however, no projects are currently under development that are using these incentives. On August 18th, 2022, the City of Jurupa Valley adopted its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO). The ordinance applies to all residential or mixed-use development projects approved after September 17, 2022, which requires that a minimum of 7% of the units within a project be affordable to lower income households for at least 55 years for rental units and 45 years for for-sale units. The ordinance describes alternative compliance methods that allow developers to comply by paying an in-lieu fee, constructing units off-site, dedicating land, converting market-rate units to affordable, preserving at-risk housing, increasing affordability levels, and other alternatives.

Regarding Affordable Housing Underway: there are two that have submitted applications; however, they are not under construction and are still assembling financing. Two projects expected by the County (major funder) projected to be completed in 2025.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

Outlined below are the actions the City will implement during FY 2024-2025 to address the sub- strategies of the Consolidated Plan.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs During FY 2024-2025, the City will encourage and support HARC's efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for senior, disabled, and low-income households. CDBG-funded public facility improvements will improve residential neighborhoods with the rehabilitation or installation of streets and sidewalks. Additionally, funding will be allocated to support meal services for seniors. Finally, fair housing services will help ensure all households can secure safe and decent housing that they desire and can afford, without regard to their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, disability, age, source of income or other characteristics protected by laws.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As previously outlined, the City will utilize CDBG funds to continue its homeowner housing rehabilitation grant program during FY 2024-2025. The City will also continue to support HARC's administration of HUD's voucher and certificate rental assistance program.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
A significant percentage of the City's housing stock was constructed before 1980 and may contain lead- based paint hazards. The City will ensure that information is available to community residents regarding the health impacts of lead-based hazards, especially for young children. As the City implements its housing rehabilitation program, it will ensure that HUD's regulations regarding lead-based paint hazards are incorporated into program policies and procedures to ensure lead-paint hazards are addressed during the property rehabilitation.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families According to the U. S. Census Bureau, approximately 10.3% of the City's population lives at or below the poverty level, including 24.4% of children under 18. During FY 2024-2025, the City will support several activities that aim to reduce the number of households living in poverty:
• Support HARC's administration of rental assistance programs for very low-income renters. • Support social service programs that assist households at risk of becoming homeless and those

Annual Action Plan
2024-25
32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
that are homeless.
• Funding for free/low-cost meal services for seniors.
• Support fair housing services to ensure households have access to safe and decent housing free of discrimination.
• Provide rehabilitation grants to qualified home owners.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
As the City prepared to become a CDBG grantee community in 2018, it initiated efforts to develop an institutional structure to help identify and access resources to improve the community. The City solicited the input of local service providers by hosting a community workshop to discuss community needs and future funding opportunities. The City will continue to assist the HARC to implement its Five-year Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan for the provision of rental assistance vouchers and certificates. The City will also engage neighboring HUD-grantee communities to explore and participate in regional planning and program initiatives.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City of Jurupa Valley does not operate public housing. HARC provides rental assistance in the community. Federal legislation requires that the Housing Authority prepare five-year and one-year plans that highlight its mission, goals, and objectives related to public and assisted housing programs. The City will review the Authority's plans and will provide HARC the opportunity to review and consult with the City regarding its Consolidated Plan. The goal of this cross-consultation is to provide consistent and coordinated housing services for City residents.

As stated above, Jurupa Valley has developed working relationships with several local nonprofits. As the City expands its CDBG program to provide public service grant funding, it will coordinate efforts with nonprofit partners to promote the efficient and effective use of limited public resources.

Discussion:

Prior to 2018, the City was part of the Riverside Urban County CDBG program. As a participating jurisdiction, the County's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing incorporated the City. In 2024, the City of Jurupa Valley completed its second AI, which is summarized in Attachment 4. Action steps to be taken by the City during FY 2024-2025 to address identified impediments are also found in Attachment

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29
Summary and Recommendations

The Jurupa Valley AI evaluates a wide range of housing issues and potential barriers to fair housing.

The following section builds upon this analysis, outlines conclusions, and provides recommendations for the City and its community partners to address id entified impediments to fair housing choice.

Summary of Conclusions/Findings
The following summarizes the key findings from the AI:

Community Profile
• In 20 22, 21.1 percent of the City’s population was under the age of 18 years and 1 1.4 percent was 65 years and over. These two age groups are an indicator of the reliance of children and senior citizens on the working age population, also known as the dependency ratio. Lower the dependency ratio, the lesser the “burden” is on a community’s working age residents.
• The Hispanic ethnic population represent 72.0 percent of the City’s total population, which is higher than the countywide total of 50.8 percent. All minority groups in the City account for over three-quarters of the City total population. • The majority (57.3%) of Jurupa Valley households spoke a language other than English at home. Most Jurupa Valley residents (54.3%) speak Spanish as their primary language. • The Section 8 Housing Voucher Program administered by the Housing Authority of Riverside County (HARC) assisted 416 low-income renters living in Jurupa Valley. The majority of these renters are senior and/or disabled households. The Hispanic population is under represented in the program. Approximately one -quarter of the voucher holders identified as Hispanic; however, the Hispanic ethnic population represents two -third of the City’s total population. In 2023, approximately 2,551 households were on the waitlist for federal rental assistance.
• Seniors (age 65+) represent 11.4 percent of Jurupa Valley’s population . Some of the characteristics of elderly residents included: limited mobility; increased medical attention due to health complications; and, restricted fixed income, such as Social Security, pension programs and retirement income. In Jurupa Valley, the most commonly occurring disability amongst seniors 65 and older was an ambulatory disability, experienced by 28.1 percent of Jurupa Valley's seniors
• Approximately 22 percent of Jurupa Valley residents age five years old and older had some type of disability. The top three disabilities among persons age five and older include those with ambulatory difficulty, independent living difficulty, and cognitive difficulty.

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29
• Approximately 42 percent of the owner-occupied units in the City were built before 1980, and 18% were built before 1960 , per the Housing Element . Of the City’s renter -occupied units, 47% were built before 1980, and 21% were built before 1960. In general, homes built more than 30 years ago are likely to require structural renovation and increased maintenance, resulting in greater costs for the owner. Older homes can also create health and safety problems for occupants, as many deteriorated structures often do not meet current building code standards and lack safety features such as fire suppression, home security devices, and seismic safety retrofits. In addition, there are greater lead -based paint related health risks. Based on housing age alone, a significant portion of Jurupa Valley’s housing stock could require rehabilitation in the upcoming decade. • The 2023 Point-In-Time Homeless Count reported there were 79 unsheltered homeless individuals counted in the City of Jurupa Valley. Over 80 percent of homeless person were White and almost half (46%) Hispanic (many of the Hispanics were also considered White).

Approximately 62 percent were chronically homeless, 19 percent had a mental health condition, and approximately half had a physical or developmental disability. No children or families with children were interviewed in the count. • The average household size in Jurupa Valley was 3.90. Over 30 percent of the City’s households were considered large households (5 or more persons per household). Large households are a special needs group because of the lack of available affordable housing of adequate size. To save for necessities such as food, clothing, transpo rtation, and medical care, lower- and moderate-income large households may reside in smaller units, resulting in overcrowding.
• Overcrowding (defined as more than one person per room) occurred in 11 .7 percent of the City’s total occupied units and severe overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room) occurred in 4.1 percent of the total occupied units. Approximately double the figure of severe overcrowding occurred in rental units than owner -occupied units. This indicates the need for larger rental units and/or more rental subsidies to allow large households to afford adequately sized units.
• The most prevalent housing problem facing Jurupa Valley households was overpayment on housing cost. A household is considered to be overpaying for housing if housing costs (rent plus utilities) make up more than 30 percent of the household’s gross monthly income. Overpaying occurred with 36.1 percent of the total occupied units. Renter households tended to overpay more for housing than owners occupied households.

Fair Housing Profile
• Fair housing education and outreach to housing providers and owners is provided through the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (FHCRC), the California Apartment Owner’s Association (CAA), and for properties with Section 8 rent vouchers, the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (HACR). Given the characteristics of Jurupa Valley’s apartment stock as predominately older and in smaller complexes, a large segment of the City’s rentals are not managed by professional management companies and small “mom and pop” mangers may not be trained in fair housing laws. As small property managers/owners City of Jurupa Valley

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29
are typically the primary violators of fair housing laws, targeted outreach to this group by the FHCRC remains critical.
• In Jurupa Valley, there have been not housing discrimination cases opened in recent years.

Most housing complaints are regarding increases in rent or other landlord -tenant issues.

However, It will be important to monitor discrimination complaints in the City over time to make sure that if any discrimination cases arise – that they are properly addressed. • Hispanics comprise 72 percent of Jurupa Valley’s population, which reflect well the percentage of the landlord/tenant calls (75%) received by the FHCRC over the past year.

This could indicate that the City's Hispanic population is fully aware of the landlord/tenant services available to them.

Public Sector Impediments
• There is currently no mechanism specified in the Zoning Code to allow reasonable accommodation exceptions to zoning requirements for individuals with disabilities.

Currently, the City considers requests for reasonable accommodation when requests are made, without a formal application and approval process. As part of this Housing Element’s Programs, the City will adopt a formal reasonable accommodation ordinance into the Zoning Code.
• The narrow definition of "family" in the City's Zoning Code was removed as it was too constraining to the diverse household types in the City. . The City instead used a housing element program to allow for a more open-ended interpretation of what a family is under the housing element and City code. There is no current plan to create a new definition for family in the City of Jurupa Valley due to the possibility of creating unnecessary restrictions to options for housing in the City.
• Providing development opportunities for a variety of housing types helps to address the diverse range of housing needs present in a community. Senior citizens, persons with disabilities, veterans, and persons suffering from homelessness, among others, may require non-traditional housing types. As required under state and federal law, Jurupa Valley’s Zoning Code has been amended to better facilitate the following types of housing:
residential care facilities, SROs, transitional and supportive housing, emergency homeless shelters, and farm worker/employee housing.
• Based on the affordability gap analysis conducted in the City’s Housing Element, market rents in Jurupa Valley are beyond the level of affor dability of lower income (<80% AMI) households, and housing sales prices are beyond the level of affordability of moderate income (<120% AMI) households. Local tools including inclusionary zoning and density bonuses can be used to facilitate the production of units affordable to low- and moderate- income households, and further goals for economic integration.

Private Sector Impediments
• The approval rate for home purchase loans in Jurupa Valley in 2022 was 79.5 percent.

City of Jurupa Valley

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29
• The mortgage loan denial rate in Jurupa Valley was 20.5 percent. The lowest denial rates in Jurupa Valley were among by Asians (1 4.8%), and Whites (1 9.5%). Denial rates of Hispanics were at 23.1%, African Americans at 27.1%, with the Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders having the highest denial rates at 40.0%.
• Realtors and Property Managers participating in the City’s AI outreach efforts were not aware of any discriminatory practices in Jurupa Valley. • City and Other Staff that has extensive con tact with residents of Jurupa Valley, in departments such as City Planning, Development Services/Economic Development, Engineering, Building and Safety, and Police (Riverside Sheriff’s Department) were not aware of any discriminatory practices in Jurupa Va lley. They had not received any complaints from residents.

Action 1.3: Encourage the FHCRC and Housing Authorit y of Riverside County work to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited English proficiency.

For the federal CDBG program, the City will provide public notices in English and Spanish, and ensure translators are available at public meetings.

Action 1.4: Contact the Housing Authority of Riverside County (HARC) regarding the apparent under-representation of Hispanic households in the Housing Choice Voucher program. As warranted, request that HARC conduct targeted outreach as defined in its Administrative Plan.

2. Enforcement Activities
Action 2.1: Continue to provide investigation and response to allegations of illegal housing discrimination through the FHCRC. For cases that cannot be conciliated, the FHCRC will refer case to the Department of Fair Housin g and Employment (DFEH), U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), small claims court, or to a private attorney, as warranted.

Action 2.2: On an annual basis and in coordination with the FHCRC, review discrimination complaints to assess Juru pa Valley trends and patterns over time, and tailor fair housing education and outreach accordingly.

Action 2.3: Continue to work with FHCRC to provide general counseling and referrals over the phone regarding tenant-landlord issues.

3. Monitoring Lending, Housing Providers, and Local Real Estate Practices Action 3.1: City shall continue to monitor mortgage loan denial rates among African American households and other racial/ethnic groups. As warranted, contact the City’s major mortgage lenders to discuss the City’s concerns.

Action 3.2: City may contract with an organization to h elp protect homeowners from mortgage rescue fraud by promoting the use of HUD -certified, non-profit mortgage counseling agencies on the City’s website and other means.

Action 3.3: City may contract with an organization to help coordinate with local realtors and conduct outreach to the local real estate community on predatory mortgage lending practices, loan modification scams, and the rights of tenants in foreclosed properties.

The Jurupa Valley Chamber of Commerce, which has members that are realtors and real estate lenders, could be a key organization to contact for this Action.

Action 3.4: Through the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (FHCRC), monitor on-line advertising of rental housing for fair housing violations on a quarterly basis, investigate if warranted, and refer to California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) for possible enforcement. Take steps to encourage the Press Enterprise to publish a Fair Housing Notice and a "no pets" disclaimer in the For Rent Classified section.

Action 3.5: Continue to include non -discriminatory and fair housing language in all City affordable housing contracts and agreements.

City of Jurupa Valley

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29

4. Land Use Policies to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Action 4.1: Currently, the City considers requests for reasonable accommodation when requests are made, without a formal application and approval process. As part of this Housing Element’s Programs, the City will adopt a formal reasonable accommodation ordinance into the Zoning Code.

Action 4.2: As part of the previous housing element, the City removed the definition of “family” as it was too constraining to the diverse household types in the Jurupa Valley.

The City inst ead used a housing element program to allow for a more open -ended interpretation of what a family is under the housing element and City code. There is no current plan to create a new definition for family in the City of Jurupa Valley due to the possibility of creating unnecessary restrictions to options for housing in the City.

Action 4.3: The City is also amending the current zoning code to include the necessary provisions to meet the Lanterman Act and will include and allow for group homes, boarding homes for person with disabilities.

Action 4.4: As a means of expanding housing choice for extremely low income renters, including persons with disabilities and veterans, amend the Zoning Code to include provisions for single room occupancy units (SROs). SRO State law mandates that local jurisdictions address the provision of housing options for extremely low -income households, including Single Room Occupancy units (SRO). SRO units are typically one room units intended for occupancy by a single individual. They are distinct from a studio or efficiency unit, in that a studio is a one-room unit that must contain a kitchen and a bathroom. Although SRO units are not required to have a kitchen or bathroom, many SROs have one or the other. There are minimum standards for SROs (including a minimum floor area requirement) under the California Health and Safety Code. The City of Jurupa Valley’s Zoning Code does not specifically address SROs. As part of this Housing Element, the City will include provisions to address SRO housing.

Action 4.5: State law establishes transitional and supportive housing as residential uses and therefore, local governments cannot treat these uses differently from other similar types of residential uses (e.g., requiring a use permit when other residential uses of similar function do not require a use permit). As part of the development of the City’s Housing Element, Jurupa Valley will include provisions for transitional and supportive housing, pursuant to current state law.

Action 4.6: In cooperation with nonprofit organizations, adjacent cities, and with Riverside County, encourage the development of a homeless shelter to meet Jurupa Valley’s and adjacent communities’ homeless shelter needs. Per City’s certified Housing Element, Jurupa Valley will work on a homeless shelter plan within the next 24 months.

Action 4.7: Amend the Zoning Code for consistency with t he California Employee Housing Act which requires that housing for six or fewer employees – including the need to address the need for farmworker housing - be treated as a regular residential use.

City of Jurupa Valley

City of Jurupa Valley Analysis of Impediments 2024-29
Action 4.8: Amend the Zoning Code to eliminate the requirement for discretionary review for multi -family development in multi -family residential zones to better facilitate permit processing for projects that conform to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance development standards. In 2020, the City adopted objective multifamily residential development standards to facilitate the ministeri al review of multifamily housing projects that reserve a minimum of 10% of the units affordable to lower income households. As of the preparation of the Housing Element, the City is in the process of formalizing the process through the preparation of an ap plication and other procedures. Applicants for affordable multi -family projects that conform with underlying general plan and zoning designations need only to submit for building permits. Applications are routed to the Community Development Department to determine conformance with the City’s objective multifamily development standards.

Staff will work with applicants directly on any minor design changes needed to ensure conformance thus allowing projects to remain in an expedited ministerial building permit review process. This process eliminates the need for a discretionary Site Development Permit and CEQA for affordable housing projects, but still requires impact studies where site conditions warrant them.

5. Increasing Geographic Choice in Housing
Action 5.1: While housing affordability is not a fair housing issue per se, providing a variety of housing opportunities can help lessen the likelihood of housing discrimination by increasing the supply. Jurupa Valley may facilitate the provision of affordable housing throughout the community through: 1) available financial assistance; 2) flexible development standards; 3) density bonuses; and 4) consideration of development fee waivers.

Action 5.2: Implement the new Mixed-Use Overlay and Town Center Overlay land use designations (applied to three historic core areas, namely Rubidoux, Pedley, and Glen Avon) established as part of the City’s General Plan . Continue to w ork with the Riverside County Housing Authority, housing non -profits and housing developers to identify specific sites for developing housing suitable to very low-income households, including seniors, disabled persons, veterans, farm workers and the homeless.

Action 5.3: Complete a study for an inclusionary housing ordinance to be developed and implemented in the City. P reviously an inclusionary housing ordinance was administered by the County of Riverside . As the City continues to grow and attempts to accommodate the development of its various communities, it is a key goal to make the effort to provide better housing for all income levels.

Action 5.4: Continue to implement the City’s density bonus, which reflects the current State density bonus law to better facilitate the provision of mixed income housing.

The State density bonus law requires local governments to grant a density bonus and additional incentives and reductions in parking requirements to a developer of a qualifying housing project – for example, applicants that agree to provide a certain percentage of very low-income units, low-income units, or moderate-income units.

ARTICLE XIII D OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION

BACKGROUND
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) and Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”), requires the City Council conduct proceedings to annex territory into an assessment district formed under the Act and to levy assessments within such

RETURN TO AGENDA

Page | 2

territory.

In connection with the City’s incorporation in 2011, the Local Agency Formation Commission of Riverside County (LAFCO) adopted its Resolution No. 12- 10 on July 22, 2010, to establish the Terms and Conditi ons of Incorporation, which require that the authority and responsibility for special assessment districts within the incorporated City associated with any County Landscape Maintenance District be transferred to the City upon its incorporation.

By its Reso lution No. 2011-26, adopted on July 1, 2011, the City Council assumed all authority and responsibility for the special assessment districts within the incorporated City associated with any County Landscape Maintenance District and specifically assumed responsibility for any and all special assessments levied in connection with such districts.

The County’s Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89 -1-Consolidated (the “County District”), established pursuant to the provisions of the Act includes various territories located both within the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “City Territory”) and outside the incorporated boundaries of the City (the “County Territory”). Pursuant to its Resolution No. 2016-01 adopted on February 4, 2016, the Cit y declared that the City Territory is a district under the 1972 Act, which is separate and distinct from the County Territory, and designated such territory as the “Jurupa Valley Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89-1-Consolidated.”
At its March 7, 2024 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-09 initiating proceedings for the annexation of territory to the Jurupa Valley Landscape and Lighting Maintenace District No. 89-1-Consolidated (the “District”) as Zone 2- H and the levy and collection of assessments within such territory. Zone 2- H includes two (2) assessable parcels, generally located on the northwest corner of Cantu- Galleano Ranch Road and Pier Enterprises Way intersection.

Further, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-11 declaring its intention to annex territory to the District and to levy and collect assessments within such territory for fiscal year 2024-25. Resolution No. 2024- 11 set May 2, 2024 (or as soon thereafter) as the public hearing date for protests to the levy of annual assessments and the annexation.

Subsequent to the March 7 meeting and in accordance with the Act and Proposition 218, notice was mailed to the owners of the properties within the territory to be annexed, along with an assessment ballot for such owners to indicate support for, or opposition to, the proposed annexation. The notice indicated the amount of the proposed assessment for their respective parcels and the date, time and place of the public hearing.

ANALYSIS
It is proposed to include the additional parcels within the boundaries of the District and to levy assessments within such territory for fiscal year 2024-25. Such territory is shown on a map on file in the office of the City Clerk and is open to public inspection.

Page | 3

At the public hearing, the City Council must hear and consider all oral and written statements, protests, objections or other communications made or filed with respect to the annexation of territory to the District and the levy and collection of annual assessments within such territory.

The assessment ballots must be tabulated at the public hearing. A majority protest exists if ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment and annexation exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment and annexation. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property. In the absence of a majority protest, the City Council may adopt a resolution ordering the annexation and levy and collection of assessments within the territory.

OTHER INFORMATION
• The owner entered into a landscape maintenance agreement with the City for the maintenance of landscape improvements fronting the properties within Parcel Map No. 37679.
• City Council initiated proceedings for this annexation on March 7, 2024.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The property owners are responsible for the annual payments of the special assessment.

The City will file the special assessment with the County Auditor -Controller for collection via the annual property tax bills. The property owners have posted a deposit with their application to form Zone 2-H, in order to cover City costs incurred in connection with the annexation. Approval of this resolution does not in any way commit the City to any financial contribution or liability for the Zone 2 -H. The City’s cost to administer Zone 2- H annually will be reimbursed through the special assessment charged to property owners.

The fiscal year 2024-25 (base year) streetlighting maximum assessment for each parcel is $394 and is subject to escalation beginning in FY 2025 -26 to account for reasonable increase cost for maintenance and inflation.

The revenue from this special assessment will be deposited into City of Jurupa Valley L&LMD 89-1-C and will be used to pay for the services provided in Zone 2- H. Both the revenue and expenses will be part of the City’s FY 2024 -25 Adopted Budget, and there is no anticipated impact to the general fund.

Zone 2-H shall consist of a benefit zone encompassing the properties within the commercial development known as Cantu Gas and Parcel Map No. 37679. The proposed improvements described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans provided as of the date of this Report.

Zone 2-H is generally located on the northwest corner of Cantu Galleano Ranch Road and Pier Enterprises Way intersection, in the City of Jurupa Valley, in the County of Riverside, State of California. At the time of this assessment, the assessment zone consists of 2 assessable (legal) parcels and zero non-assessable parcels.

PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY L&LMD NO. 89-1-C VOLUME 2 ZONE 2-H

The services to be funded by City of Jurupa Valley L&LMD No. 89 -1-C Volume 2 ZONE AA include the landscape and streetlight maintenance related to the commercial development designated as Cantu Gas and subdivision identified as Parcel Map No. 37679. The proposed improvements, the associated costs, and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified, and allocated based on:
a. Level of Service
b. Improvement Types
c. Proximity to Improvement
d. Levels of Special Benefit from Zone (on Public versus Private) The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of public lights, landscaping, dedicated easements for landscape use, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lot(s) or parcel(s) of land within an assessment district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel f rom the improvements rather than by assessed value.

It was determined that the improvements identified by this report will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within ZONE 2-H. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct , operate, and maintain landscape and lighting improvements within the existing district as well as provide for annual maintenance of those improvements and the assessment revenues generated by the Zone will be used solely for such purpose.

STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
The assessment will provide for the operating energy cost and maintenance of the streetlights servicing the commercial development along the public right-of-way, Cantu Gas PM 37679, as shown in the Street Improvement Plans prepared for the development and approved by the City Engineer, IP21-013.

The benefits associated with streetlight improvements include:

1. Enhanced deterrence of crime such as vandalism and other criminal activities which would reduce damage to improvements or property.

2. Improved visibility to assist police in the protection of property.

3. Improved visibility for egress from and ingress to the property.

There are three (3) streetlights considered for this assessment. The streetlights are located along the north side of Cantu Galleano Ranch Road.
8 | P a g e

PART III – FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION
The formula used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services provided by the Zone 2-H to fairly apportion the costs based on the estimated benefit to each parcel.

The streetlighting improvements included on this assessment for ZONE 2-H provide direct and special benefit to the lots or parcels within the Zone. Furthermore, the streetlights are not part of a planned City project. Therefore, the maintenance of these improvements also provides direct and special benefit by maintaining the functionality of the improvements and allowing the improvements to operate in a proper manner.

Because all benefiting properties consist of a uniform land use, it is determined that all (any) parcels (2) benefit equally from the improvements and the costs and expenses for the maintenance and servicing of landscaping and streetlight are apportioned on a per parcel basis.

The total benefit from the works of improvement is a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the Zone and the general benefits to the public at large and to adjacent property owners. A portion of the total maintenance costs for the street lights, if any, associated with general benefits will not be assessed to the parcels in the Zone, but will be paid from other City of Jurupa Valley funds.

No property is assessed in excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that property. Additionally, because the benefiting properties consist of a uniform land use (commercial), it is determined that each of the parcels within the Zone benefit equally form the improvements.

Therefore, the proportionate share of the costs and expenses for the provisions of landscaping, as well as costs and expenses for the maintenance of the landscaping, are apportioned equally on a per parcel basis.

MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The following methodology was adopted by City Council in Resolution No. 2016 -01 dated February 4, 2016. Such methodology has been maintained in preparation of this Report. The purpose of establishing a Maximum Assessment formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustments to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which would add to the Zone 2-H costs and assessments.

The Maximum Assessment formula shall be applied to all assessable parcels of land within the Zone. For Zone 2-H, the initial Maximum Assessment(s) for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 are as follows:

1. The initial Total Maximum Assessment established within Zone 2-H shall be $788.00.

2. The initial Maximum Assessment per assessable parcel shall be $394.00.

The initial Maximum Assessment is subject to an annual inflator starting in Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The initial Maximum Assessment shall be adjusted by the greater of two percent (2%) or the cumulative 9 | P a g e

percentage increase in the CPI -U Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario.

The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of Zone 2-H’s annual budget and proposed annual assessment. The proposed annual assessment (rate per assessable parcel) applied in any fiscal year is not considered to be an increased assessment if less than or equal to the Maximum Assessment amount. In no case shall the annual assessment exceed the Maximum Assessment.

Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual Zone 2-H assessments may remain virtually unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish reasonable limits on Zone 2-H assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not require or facilitate an increase of the annual assessment and neither does it restrict assessments to the adjusted maximum amount. If the budget and assessments for the fiscal year require an increase and the increase is more than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, it is considered an increased assessment.

To impose an increase assessment, the City of Jurupa Valley must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owner through the balloting process must approve the proposed assessment increase. If the proposed assessment is approved, then a new Maximum Assessment is established for Zone 2-H. If the proposed assessment is not approve d, the City may not levy an assessment greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment previously established for Zone 2-H.

COST ESTIMATE
The Ad Valorem reduction is the corresponding general benefit value of the improvements, and it is determined by identifying the general public benefit from the installation and upkeep of the improvements identified on this report. All proposed landscape and lighting improvements contained within this report and shown on the development plans are located directly in front of the assessed zone and the construction and installation of the improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the Zone. Therefore, it was determined that any public access or use of these local improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the one or to the public at large. The Ad Valorem reduction for these improvements is zero.

The Assessment for Zone 2-H is calculated by dividing the total Annual Balance (maintenance and incidental cost) minus the Ad Valorem Reduction by the total number of assessable parcels within Zone 2-H to determine the Annual Assessment per assessable parcel.

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 (𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 & 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡) − 𝐴𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚 𝑅𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑠 = 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑙

BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element on December 2, 2021 for the 8- year period of 2021 through 2029. The Housing Element was subseq uently certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as being fully compliant with state law on April 21, 2022. The Housing Element includes a number of follow-up implementation items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law. This report addresses the following housing implementation items to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA): amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map.

The deadline for adopting these amendments is October 15, 2024. Senate Bill (SB) 197, which was signed into law on June 30, 2022, changed the rezoning deadlines for jurisdictions with statutory housing element deadlines in 2021, which applied to jurisdictions in the SCAG region. Before SB 197, jurisdictions had 120 days from the housing element adoption deadline to complete any necessary rezoning. Now, jurisdictions have three years from the applicable housing element adoption deadline to complete required rezoning when the City adopts a substantially compliant sixth revision of the housing element within a year of the applicable deadline. These recommended amendments will continue to ensure the City of Jurupa Valley remains compliant with State Housing Law, and maintains its 2021-2024 Housing Element Certification.

The recommended sites were discussed in public meetings as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update process at the following meetings:
• Joint City Council/Planning Commission Study Session on Housing Element on May 20, 2021
• Planning Commission public hearing on November 10, 2021 • City Council public hearing on December 2, 2021
An overview of the process that was used to analyze the sites was discussed as part of the 6
th Cycle Housing Element Update process at the following meetings:
• Planning Commission Study Session on March 10, 2021
• City Council Study Session on April 15, 2021
• Public Workshops on April 5 and April 6, 2021
On April 10, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously voted (5-0) to adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt the General Plan Land Use Amendments and Changes of Zone to implement Program HE 1.1.1 of the 2021-2029 (6
th Cycle) Housing Element.

Page | 3

ANALYSIS
The 18 sites proposed for redesignation and/or rezone to meet RHNA include approximately 65 acres, which could accommodate up to 1,047 residential dwelling units.

Most of the sites are vacant or minimally developed and are proposed for redesignation and rezone t o a higher potential density , which will help meet the City’s Very Low and Low income RHNA requirement. Figure 1 illustrates the location of all of the sites within the City and Table 1 provides an overview of the General Plan and Zoning Changes proposed for each site. A description of each of the sites follows. The City Council directed staff to redesignate and rezone these sites with the adoption of the 2021-2029 (6th Cycle) Housing Element on December 2, 2021.

Figure 1: Proposed General Plan Redesignation & Zone Change Sites

The 2021-2029 Housing Element identified an additional site to meet the RHNA deficit, which was identified as Site A -01 and includes 6.0 acres located at the western limit of Jurupa Valley on the west side of Pats Ranch Road at t he western terminus of Park Center Drive within the I-15 Corridor Specific Plan. This site was subsequently entitled as part of the Vernola Ranch Specific Plan to allow for residential uses and no longer requires rezoning to help meet the City’s RHNA defic it. The City Council approved and adopted the change of zone on December 21, 2023 and the second reading for the change of zone Ordinance was adopted on January 18, 2024.

Description of Sites

1. B- 01 (GPA22011 & CZ22001) and B-02 (GP22012 & CZ22012) Sites B-01 and B-02 are located on the east side of Country Village Drive, and north of SR-60 and Granite Hill Drive at the eastern terminus of Country Club Drive (Figure 2).

Site B-01 includes 2.3 acres and Site B -02 includes 3.5 acres. Both parcels are vacant and contain sloping topography that rises above the street level. Surrounding land uses include vacant land to the northeast, east, and southeast, and the Country Village Apartment complex across Country Village Road to the west.

Figure 2: Sites B-01 and B-02 - Aerial Photograph

Sites B -01 and B -02 are currently designated Public Facility/Institutional (PF) by the Jurupa Valley General Plan and are zoned Residential Agriculture (R -A-20). Based on the land use designation, residential development is not permitted on either site. General Plan Amendments are proposed to redesignate each site to HHDR which would allow a theoretical maximum of 57 residential units on Site B -01 and 87 units on Site B -02.

However, based on direction from HCD, the Housing Element assumed a more conservative net density of 17.5 du/ac for all proposed HHDR sites located outside of

Page | 7

Specific Plan areas. Based on this density, Site B -01 could accommodate 40 units and Site B-02 could accommodate 61 units. Zoning Changes to R -3 are also proposed for both sites to be consistent with the HHDR designation.

Table 2 below provides a summary of Sites B -01 and B -02 and their existing and proposed general plan and zoning designations. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the existing and proposed General Plan and Zoning designations for each site.

Sites C-01, C-02, C-04 and C-05 include a total of 13.5 acres located on the north side of Granite Hill Drive at the northern terminus of Pedley Road. All sites are vacant and gently slope up to the Jurupa Mountains further to the north. To the south is Granite Hill Drive, vacant land and a motel. To the west are vacant land and single-family homes.

Sites C-01 and C-02 are designated Low Density Residential (LDR) by the General Plan and are zoned Controlled Development Areas (W -2). Based on the current land use designation, both sites could accommodate one dwelling unit. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate the sites to HHDR and a Zone Change is

Page | 8

proposed to rezone the sites to R -3. Based on t he proposed land use designation, the sites could yield a maximum potential of 27 units. However, as previously described, a net density of 17.5 du/ac was assumed in the Housing Element to reflect a more realistic development scenario for sites outside of specific plans. Based on this density, the sites could potentially yield 19 dwelling units.

Figure 5: Sites C-01, C-02, C-04 and C-05 - Aerial Photograph

Sites C-04 and C-05 are located adjacent to each other immediately north of Granite Hill Drive. Both sites are vacant and gently slope up to the Jurupa Mountains to the north.

To the east is the Riverside Heights Healthcare Center and single- family residential development. To the south is Granite Hill Drive, vacant land and the SR-60 freeway. To the west is the land outlined above which was redesignated and rezoned to HHDR and R-3 as part of the 5
th Cycle Housing Element Update process. Sites C-04 and C-05 are designated Commercial Retail (CR) by the General Plan and are zoned Scenic Highway Commercial (C-P-S). Based on the current land use designation, residential development would not be permitted on the sites.

During the public hearings on the Housing Element, Sites C-04 and C-05 were proposed for redesignation to HHDR to help meet the City’s RHNA obligation. Initially, the City Council removed sites C-04 and C-05 from the list of potential sites to be redesignated to meet the City’s RHNA obligation. This was due to their location at the Granite Hill Drive/Pedley Road intersection and a concern that the sites should be reserved for freeway-oriented commercial uses, such as restaurants. However, when it became apparent that the sites were needed to meet RHNA, the Council added the sites back in with the caveat that the frontage of each site should be reserved for freeway -oriented commercial uses with residential development permitted on the rear half of each lot.

To respond to Council direction, the existing CR land use designation is proposed to be retained on the southern half of Sites C -04 a nd C -05 to preserve the ability to build commercial development. The northern half of each site would be redesignated to HHDR and a Mixed Use General Plan Overlay would be applied to the entirety of each site to alert staff, decision makers and potential developers that any future development should include a mix of commercial and residential uses. In terms of zoning, the C -P-S zone would be retained on the southern portion of each site and the northern half would be

Page | 9

rezoned to R -3. If a mixed -use zoning district is developed in the future, it may be appropriate to rezone the entirety of each site to the mixed use zone to more clearly specify the types of land uses and development regulations for a mixed use development project.

Based on the HHDR land use designation, the northern half of Site C -04 would have a theoretical maximum capacity of 69 dwelling units and Site C-05 would have a maximum capacity of 86 units. However, as previously described, a net density of 17.5 du/ac was assumed in the Housing Element to reflect a more realistic and conservative development scenario. Based on this density, Site C-04 would have a capacity of 48 units and Site C- 05 would have a capacity of 60 units.

Sites C-01, C-02, C-04 and C-05 are well suited for residential density for several reasons.

They are located adjacent to Granite Hill Drive and SR -60 which provide local and regional access to the sites. In addition, they are vacant which would allow residential development without the need for the demolition of existing development.

In response to property owner notices for the Planning Commission hearing on April 10, 2024, an interested party who is in escrow on land adjacent to the “C” Sites requested that APN 173- 160-005 (identified as Site 3 in Figure 6 below) be included with the “C” Sites redesignation to HHDR and rezone to R -3. APN 173-160-004 directly to the north of this site is already zoned for the highest density residential (HHDR General Plan designation/R-3 Zoning).

Figure 6: Site 3

APN 173-160-005 was originally recommended by staff to be redesignated to HHDR and rezoned to R-3 as part of the 2021-2029 (6
th Cycle) Housing Element process. At the City
Council meeting on December 2, 2021 to adopt the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City Council removed this site from the 6th Cycle Housing Element Sites Inventory due to concerns about losing the opportunity for freeway fronting commercial uses in this area.

At the same public hearing, City Council provided direction to allow for commercial us es on the southern half of Sites C -04 and C -05. The Planning Commission did not recommend the addition of APN 173-160-005 to this action.

Sites D-01 through D-06 include a total of 22 acres of land located on the north side of Granite Hill Drive between Pedley Road and Pyrite Street. Site D-01 through D-06 slope up from Granite Hill Drive to the north. To the north are the Jurupa Mountains , which include steeply sloping topography. Other surrounding land uses include similarly sloping vacant land to the east, Granite Hill Drive and SR -60 to the south and a plant nursery single-family residential development to the west.

Figure 11: Sites D-01 through D-06 - Aerial Photograph

Sites D-01 through D-06 are currently designated Light Industrial (LI) by the General Plan and are zoned Controlled Development Areas (W -2). Based on the current land use designation, residential development would not be permitted on the sites. General Plan Amendments are proposed to redesignate each site to HHDR , which would allow a net

Page | 12

density of 17.5 du/ac, the sites could accommodate 382 units as outlined in Table 4 below.

Zone Changes to R -3 are also proposed for each site consistent with the HHDR designation.

Total: 382

Sites D-01 through D-06 are well suited for residential density because they are located adjacent to Granite Hill Drive and SR -60 which provide local and regional access to the sites. In addition, they are vacant which would allow residential development without the need for the demolition of existing development.

There is an application in process on the “D” Sites. An application for a General Plan amendment, Change of Zone, and a Tentative Tract M ap was filed with the City on February 2, 2024, and the application was deemed complete. The proposed General Plan Amendment would redesignate the site as Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) from Light Industrial (LI). The Medium High Density Residential Land Use designation would provide for the development of housing with a density range of 5 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Change of Zone would rezone the site as Planned Unit Development (PUD) from Controlled Development Areas (W -2). The PUD zone is consistent with the MHDR General Plan Designation per the General Plan Consistency Table. The proposed Tentative Tract Map would create 99 individual lots for 165 market rate units, including 78 single family detached homes and 14 buildings containing 87 townhomes.

The applicant informed staff that portions of sites D -01, D-02 and D -03 were recently conveyed to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) for conservation. Therefore, the new parcel sizes are smaller and do not have the same development potential as originally calc ulated in the 2021 -2029 Housing Element. This staff report includes the new APNs and correct parcel sizes and configurations. The applicant has also raised other feasibility concerns for higher density affordable housing, which are outlined in their letter dated March 12, 2024. See Attachment 2 for the letter.

4. Sites E -01 (GPA22023/CZ22023), E -02 (GPA22024/CZ22024) and E -03 (GPA22025/ CZ22025)

Sites E-01 through E-03 include a total of 7 acres of land located on either side of Mission Boulevard west of Pedley Road. Each site is proposed to be redesignated to HHDR and rezoned to R-3 and could potentially accommodate a total of 121 multifamily residential units. A description of each site is provided below.

Site E -01 includes 3.5 acres of land, which includes the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. It should be noted that during the hearings on the Housing Element, this site only included the vacant 1.9 acres in the northern portion of the parcel but has since been expanded to include the church site as well, especially since recent state laws (AB 1851 and AB 2244) have encouraged housing development on church sites, and National CORE has expressed intent to file entitlement applications to propose approximately 100 affordable housing units on both sites. The site includes a driveway, the church building, parking lot, turfed area and vacant land. Land uses surrounding the site include a mobile home park to the north and east, site E-02 to the southeast, the Riverside/Jurupa Valley Community Health Center across Mission Blvd. to the south, and vacant land (entitled for Habitat for Humanity’s 26- unit single -family homes for veterans) and commercial establishments to the west.

Page | 16

Figure 18: Sites E-01, E-02 and E-03 - Aerial Photograph

The northern 1.9- acres of Site E -01 is designated Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) and the southern 1.64 acres of the site is designated Commercial Retail (CR).

In addition, the site is located within the Glen Avon Overlay reflecting its location wi thin the Glen Avon Town Center. Regarding zoning, the northern portion of the site is zoned R-D and the southern portion of the site is zoned C -1/C-P. Based on the land use designations, the northern portion of the site could accommodate 15 units and residential development would not be allowed on the southern portion of the site. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate the entire site to HHDR but retain the Glen Avon Overlay which would yield a theoretical maximum of allow 88 units, or 62 units based on the more conservative estimate of 17.5 du/ac. A Zone Change is also proposed to rezone the site from R-D and C-1/C-P to R-3 consistent with the HHDR designation.

Site E-02 includes 1.0 acre of land on the north side of Mission Blvd., immediately east of Grace Evangelical Church as shown in Figure 19. The site is vacant and relatively flat with some perimeter walls and fencing and a few shrubby plans. Other surrounding uses are the same as those described above for Site E-01. Site E-02 is designated Commercial Retail (CR), is within the Glen Avon Town Center Overlay and is zoned C -1/C-P. Based on the land use designations, residential development would not be permitted on the site.

A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate Site E-02 to HHDR which would yield a theoretical maximum of allow 25 units. However, based on the net density of 17.5 du/ac, the site is more likely to yield a total of 17 dwelling units. A Zone Change is also proposed to rezone the site from C-1/C-P to R-3 consistent with the HHDR designation.

Site E-03 is 2.5 acres in size and is located on the south side of Mission Blvd., southwest of Sites E-01 and E-02. The site is vacant and relatively level except for a few scattered shrubs and dumpsters. Surrounding uses i nclude commercial establishments and Mission Village Senior apartments to the north, the Riverside/Jurupa Valley Community Health Center to the east, single-family homes to the south, and vacant land to the west.

Site E-03 is designated Commercial Retail (CR), is within the Glen Avon Town Center Overlay and is zoned C -P-S. Based on the land use designations, residential development would not be permitted on the site. A General Plan Amendment is proposed

Page | 17

to redesignate the Site E-03 to HHDR which would yield a theoretical maximum of allow 62 units or a more realistic yield of 44 dwelling units. A Zone Change is also proposed to rezone the site from C-P-S to R-3 to be consistent with the HHDR designation.

Sites E -01, E -02 and E -03 are well suited for residen tial density for several reasons.

There would be more residential units in the near future including affordable housing units. Habitat for Humanity continues to work towards building the 26 single- family unit veterans community project, and National CORE is intending to submit entitlement applications for approximately 100-unit apartment complex project on Sites E -01 and E-

02. These sites are located adjacent to Mission Boulevard, which provides easy access to the site. In addition, they are primarily vac ant which would allow residential development without the need for large- scale demolition of existing development. In addition, the sites are located in close proximity to a commercial development and other community amenities and facilities, which would further support residential uses on the site. Table 6 and Figures 19-21 below provides a summary of Site E-01, E-02 and E-03 and their existing and proposed general plan and zoning designations.

5. Site F-01 (GPA22026/CZ22026)

Site F-01 consists of 4.7 acres located at 7981 Mission Boulevard on the north side of Mission Boulevard approximately one-quarter mile east of Pyrite Street. The rectangularly shaped site is relatively flat and contains two detached single-family residential structures – one in the southwest corner of the site and one in the northeast corner of the site. The remainder of the site is vacant but contains some asphalt paving, a temporary structure, and scattered vehicles, equipment and shrubs and trees. Until recently, the site was also used for truck parking, as indicated on Figure 22. Land uses surrounding the site include vacant land to the north, Glen Avon Heritage Park to the east and a religious institution across Mission Boulevard to the south. Land immediately west of the site is currently vacant but has been approved for the Shops at Jurupa Valley commercial development project.

Figure 22: Site F-01 - Aerial Photograph

Site F-01 is currently designated Business Park (BP) by the Jurupa Valley General Plan and is zoned Light Agriculture (A -1). The Business Park (BP) designation allows employee intensive uses including corporate offices, technology centers, clean industry and retail uses and does not allow new residential development. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate the site to HHDR, which would allow 117 residential units on the site. However, as previously described, a net density of 17.5 du/ac was assumed for most sites in the Housing Element to reflect a more realistic development scenario. Based on this density, the site could potentially yield 82 dwelling units. A Zone Change is also proposed to rezone the site from A-1 to R-3 to be consistent with the HHDR designation.

The site is well suited for increased residential density for several reasons. The site is located adjacent to Mission Boulevard, which provides easy access to the site. In addition, the site is primarily vacant which would allow residential development without

Page | 20

the need for large-scale demolition of existing development. The two existing residential units could be retained or removed and redeveloped. In addition, the site is located in close proximity to a park and planned commer cial development , which would further support residential uses on the site.

6. Site G-01 (GPA22027/CZ22027)

Site G-01 is a 2.4- acre elongated parcel of vacant land bordered by Avalon Street, 34 th Street and Pioneer Drive in the Rubidoux community as shown in Figure 24. The site is relatively flat and contains a small drainage area, scattered shrubby weeds and a few parked cars. Surrounding land uses include single- family homes to the north, east , and south, and a mobile home park to the southwest. A 25- unit single -family residential subdivision named Avalon Court is immediately to the west.

Figure 24: Site G-01 - Aerial Photograph

The site is currently designated Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) by the Jurupa Valley General Plan and zoned is R-2. Based on the land use designation, the maximum number of residential units that could currently be built on the site is 19. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate the site to HHDR, which would allow 60 units.

However, as previously described, a net density of 17.5 du/ac was assumed in the Housing Element to reflect a more realistic development scenario. Based on this density, the sites could potentially yield 42 dwelling units. A rezone is also proposed to rezone the site from R-2 to R-3 to be consistent with the HHDR designation.

The site is well suited for increased residential density for several reasons. The site is located adjacent to Avalon and 34
th Streets, which provide easy access to the site. In
addition, the site is currently vacant which would allow residential development without the need to demolish or collocate with other uses. In addition, the site is located in a mixed-density residential area and although more dense than other residential uses, would fit in with the mixed, eclectic character of the area.

A resident and property owner on Pioneer Drive submitted an email in response to the notice for the Planning Commission hearing on April 10, 2024 (s ee Attachment 2). She

Page | 22

is concerned about the zone change to R -3 on the “G” Site due to narrow neighborhood streets, lack of streets trees and parks, and already high population density in this area of Rubidoux.

7. Site H-01 (GPA22028)

Site H-01 is a 7.4- acre, triangular -shaped parcel located on the east side of Limonite Avenue at the terminus of Pacific Avenue as shown in Figure 26. The site is relatively flat and contains a small drainage swale and a few scattered weeds and shrubs.

Surrounding land uses include a flood control channel along the sites

Page | 23

eastern/northeastern boundary with multi -family residential development further to the east/northeast, single-family residential development to the south, and Limonite Avenue and single-family residential neighborhoods to the west.

Figure 26: Site H-01 - Aerial Photograph

The site is currently designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) by the Jurupa Valley General Plan and is zoned R -3. Based on the land use designation, the maximum number of residential units that could be built on the site is 37. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate the site to HHDR which would allow 185 units.

However, as previously described, a net density of 17.5 du/ac was assumed for the site, which could potentially yield 129 dwelling units. No Zone Change is proposed because the site is already zoned R-3 which is compatible with HHDR.

The site is well suited for increased residential density because the site is located adjacent to Limonite Avenue which provides easy multimodal access to the site. In addition, the site is currently vacant which would allow residential development without the need to demolish or collocate with other uses. Finally, the site is located in a mixed- density residential area and would be compatible with surrounding uses.

In 2022, a Pre- Application Revie w (PAR) was completed for a proposed 195- unit apartment complex, and a Planning Commission study session. The Planning Commission provided general feedback to the applicant regarding increasing the number of affordable units, gated community, and traffic o n Limonite Avenue. The applicant revised the project to 98 market rate townhomes at a density of 18 units per acre. The proposed density is lower than the minimum required by the proposed HHDR designation (20 units per acre). Prior to formal submittal of the project, the applicant is requesting the site be redesignated to VHDR to accommodate their proposed design and housing product type.

(a) Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City Council finds and determines that an Addendum to the FEIR is the app ropriate environmental document to analyze the Project because:
1) Some changes or additions to the FEIR are necessary, but none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
2) There are no substantial changes proposed by the Project that will require major revisions of the previously certified FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified s ignificant effects;
3) No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the previously certified FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effe cts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and 4) There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the FEIR was adopted showing that: (a) the changes proposed with the Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR; (b) there are significant effects previously examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR; (c) there are mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alt ernative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the FEIR would substantially reduce one or more -4-

significant effects on the environment, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
(b) The custodian of records for the FEIR and Addendum, and all other materials that constitute the record of proceedings is the Community Development Department of the City of Jurupa Valley. Those documents are available for public review in the C ommunity Development Department located at 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, California 92509. (c) The Community Development Director is authorized and directed to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with CEQA.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose and Background
This Addendum to the Certified City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and Supporting Documents Final Program Environmental Impact Report (GP FPEIR) ( LSA, February 14, 2017 ) ( State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025) has been prepared by the City of Jurupa Valley in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.), the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Chapter 3 § 15000 et seq.), and City of Jurupa Valley CEQA Guidelines to address minor changes to the General Plan Program (as defined below), as a result of the proposed amendment to the General Land Use Element.

Background
The City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element on December 2, 2021 for the 8-year period of 2021 through 2029. The Housing Element was subsequently certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as being fully compliant with State Law on April 21, 2022. The Housing Element includes a number of follow -up implementation items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law.

This Addendum addresses three follow- up housing implementation items: 1) amendments to the Development Code, 2) amendments to the General Plan Community Safety, Service s and Facilities Element; and 3) amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map and are discussed in Section 2.0 Project Description Summary.

1.2 Prior CEQA Documents
The Jurupa Valley General Plan (General Plan) was adopted by Resolution No. 2017- 14 on September 7, 2017. The City of Jurupa Valley General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (GP FEIR); LSA, February 14, 2016, State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025, was certified by Resolution No 2017-14 on September 7, 2017.

1.3 CEQA Requirements for Use of an Addendum
The City’s consideration of the potential environmental impacts resulting from the Project is consistent with CEQA Guidelines §15164 and §15162, which state the following with respect to an Addendum to an EIR.

1.0 Introduction
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 2 CEQA Guidelines §15164
• The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. • An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. • An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
• The decision -making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. • A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substanti al evidence.

CEQA Guidelines §15162
a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:

A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of

1.0 Introduction
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 3 the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
D. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation.

When only some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines §15162 are met, CEQA allows the lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR (CEQA Guidelines §15164(a)).

1.4 Incorporation by Reference
CEQA Guidelines § 15150 encourage environmental documents to incorporate by reference other documents that provide relevant data and analysis. The documents outlined below, which were utilized during preparation of this second Addendum to the GP FEIR, are a matter of public record and are hereby incorporated by reference. These documents are available for review at the City of Jurupa Valley, 8930 Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley, CA. 92509 and on the City’s website at http:// www.jurupavalley.org

• Jurupa Valley General Plan – Adopted by Resolution No. 2017-14 on September 7, 2017.
• City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and Supporting Documents Final Environmental Impact Report (LSA, February 14, 2016) – State Clearinghouse No. 2016021025. Certified by Resolution No. 2017-14 on September 7, 2017

1.5 Summary of Analysis and Findings for the Addendum
Based upon the analysis of potential environmental consequences anticipated to occur as a result of Project implementation , the City has determined that the Project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the prior 2017 General Plan FEIR. For these reasons, the Project would not satisfy any of the conditions that warrant preparation of a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR.

Therefore, as Lead Agency, the City has determined that preparation of an Addendum is appropriate.

2.0 Project Description Summary

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

2.1 General Plan Land Use Element Amendment

The City is proposing to amend the Development Code, amend the General Plan Community Safety, Services and Facilities Element, and amend the General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map.

Proposed Development Code Updates

Upon the adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element of the Jurupa Valley General Plan, the City is required to make specific updates to its Development Code, as identified in the Housing Action Plan section of the Housing Element. Specifically, the proposed Development Code Amendments address the following Housing Action items:

1. HE 1.1.5 Employee Housing Act Ordinance. Update the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code to include provisions for work force housing/employee housing to ensure consistency with state law, including all requirements for the Employee Housing Act.

2. HE 1.1.8 Density Provisions. Update the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code and General Plan density provisions to ensure consistency with government codes, including minimum density requirements and density bonuses, as required by state law, to encourage production of smaller, affordable housing, particularly in Town Centers and in higher density, mixed -use and other areas where appropriate and compatible with adjacent development.

3. HE 1.1.17 Update the I- P Zone Parking Standards for Emergency Shelters. Update the I -P Zone parking requirements of the Development Code for Emergency Shelters to accommodate all staff working in emergency shelters, provided they do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other commercial uses within the I-P zone.

4. HE 1.1.23 Lanterman Act Ordinance. Update the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code disability accessibility provisions to ensure consistency with state law, including all requirements for the Lanterman Act. In addition to allowing residential care facilities of six or fewer persons through a minist erial process, larger group homes of seven or more persons must be permitted ministerially in at least one zone.

5. HE 1.1.26 Transitional, Temporary and Permanent Supportive Housing, and Low Barrier Navigation Centers. Review and update the City’s Development Code to ensure that transitional, temporary and permanent supportive housing and low barrier navigation centers are allowed by -right in zones allowing similar types of residential development as required by state law.

6. HE 3.1.7 Reasonable Accommodations. Establish a written procedure for providing reasonable accommodations in zoning and land use.

2.0 Project Description Summary
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 5 In addition, the Governor signed Senate Bill 897 and Assembly Bill 2221 in October 2022 which updated certain provisions of state law related to the local permitting of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The City’s ADU standards have been updated in accordance with the updated state law.

Proposed Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element Senate Bill (SB) 1241 (2012) requires General Plan Safety Elements to be updated at the time of a Housing Element update to address the risk of fire. The City’s “Safety Element” is Chapter 8, Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, of the General Plan. As part of this update process, staff and the consultant team worked with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) to receive technical assistance related to fire hazard planning and address the most recent legislation, SB 99 (2019) and Assembly Bill (AB) 747 (2019), related to emergency evacuation. SB 99 requires local governments to identify residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two evacuation routes (i.e., ingress/egress). AB 747 requires c ities to identify emergency evacuation routes for a range of emergency scenarios. The City’s Traffic Engineer conducted a thorough review of the City’s subdivisions and circulation routes and found that all residential neighborhoods have at least two points of access to identified emergency evacuation routes. In addition, SB 379 requires additional updates to address climate adaptation and resiliency strategies that are locally applicable in conjunction with an update to the Housing Element.

The proposed updates to the Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element were reviewed and approved by The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection at their Board hearing on June 7, 2022.

Proposed General Plan Land Use and Zoning Amendments to Meet RHNA

As part of the Housing Element Update process, the City was required to address how it would accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 4,497 for the 2021 to 2029 planning period. The City is not required to physically build the number of housing units ascribed to it, but rather, is only required to ensure that its general plan land use map and zoning map designations have adequate capacity to allow for the development of the required units.

Table 2.1
City of Jurupa Valley 2021-2029 RHNA

2.0 Project Description Summary
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 6 The City conducted a comprehensive assessment of land within Jurupa Valley to determine how many residential dwelling units could be potentially developed within the 2021 to 2029 Housing Element planning period. The assessment determined that all of the City’s moderate and above moderate housing allocation would be met through a combination of planned and potential development. However, it was determined that the City would fall short of its very low Income and low-Income allocation by 883 dwelling units (529 very low and 354 low.) In order to make up for the shortfall, the City evaluated sires that could be redesignated and/or rezoned to make up the shortfall. Staff vetted the ir ideas with the Planning Commission, City Council and the public which resulted in some sites being added and some sites being removed. The adopted Housing Element includes an action item to redesignate and rezone 19 sites to ensure the City meets its RHNA.

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map would not authorize any specific development project or other form of land use approval or any kind of public facilities or capital facilities expenditures or improvements. Any future development proposed will be subject to CEQA review on a project-by-project basis

3.2 Approach to the Analysis
This impact evaluation provides the basis for determining whether the amendments to the City of Jurupa Valley 2017 Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map. (“Project”) would have any significant environmental impacts that were not previously addressed in the 2017 General Plan Final EIR SCH # 2016021025, was certified by Resolution No 2017-14 on September 7, 2017.

The Project is evaluated based on its potential effect on the environmental topics contained in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Each of the environmental topics addressed in this Addendum is analyzed by responding to a series of questions pertaining to the impact of the Project on the particular topic. Based on the results of the Impact Analysis, the effects of the Project are then placed in one of the following four categories, which are each followed by a summary to substantiate the factual reasons why the impact was placed in a certain category.

Changes in CEQA Analysis Requirements
The California Supreme Court concluded in the California Building Industry Association vs. Bay Area Air Quality Management District (CBIA vs. BAAQMD) case that “CEQA generally does not require an analysis of how existing environmental conditions will impact a project’s future users or residents.” The Court held that “ agencies subject to CEQA generally are not required to analyze the impact of existing environmental conditions on a project ’s future users or residents. But when a proposed

3.0 Environmental Checklist
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 10 project risks exacerbating those environmental hazards or conditions that already exist, an agency must analyze the potential impact of such hazards on future residents or users. In those specific instances, it is the project’s impact on the environment – and not the environment’s impact on the project – that compels an evaluation of how future residents or users could be affected by exacerbated conditions.”

As a result of this case, there are instances where an impact analyzed in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, may have been identified as a “significant and unavoidable” impact or a “less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated,” but said impact is no longer considered a significant impact under current CEQA requirements. For example, elevated noise or air quality impacts from stationary or mobile sources to residential development may have been identified as an impact under previous CEQA requirements, but is no longer an impact now.

3.3 Environmental Setting
CEQA Guidelines §15125 establishes requirements for defining the environmental setting to which the environmental effects of a proposed project must be compared. The environmental setting is defined as “…the physical environmental conditions in the vicinity of the project, as they exist at the time the Notice of Preparation is published, or if no Notice of Preparation is published, at the time the environmental analysis is commenced…” (CEQA Guidelines §15125[a]). Because a Notice of Preparation was not required, the environmental setting for the Project is January 2, 2023, which is the date that the Project’s environmental analysis commenced.

3.4.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to aesthetics were determined to be less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.

No substantial changes in the environment related to aesthetics will occur with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map, changes that would lead to more significant impacts , and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.4.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.4 (a) Adverse Effect on Scenic Vista
Implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map is not expected to degrade views of scenic resources in the City. At full buildout, development in many parts of the City would intensify urban development in currently undeveloped areas.

The General Plan indicates the City contains the following important visual and aesthetic resources:
• Santa Ana River
• Jurupa Mountains
• Pedley Hills

The City’s Open Space and Conservation Element incorporates two state -mandated general plan elements to help protect local natural resources, including viewsheds and other aesthetic s resources. With incorporation of the City’s General Plan Elements, Policies, Ordinances, and Municipal Codes, impacts on scenic vistas is less than significant.

3.4 (b) Substantially Damage Scenic Resources
Implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map, would not result in damage to any historic buildings or significant rock outcroppings or degrade resources within a State Scenic Highway.

The City is committed to preserving the environment and its natural resources, which are important to the heritage, character, economy, and overall quality of life of the community. The City’s goal is that scenic corridors and viewsheds are preserved and protected from change that would diminish the aesthetic value. Policies and actions in the General Plan express the City’s vision for balanced growth and ensure that new development is integrated into the natural topography. Adherence to the design standards of the City’s ordinances and commercial design guidelines and implementation of the policies of the General Plan would ensure that future development that would be accommodated by the General Plan would be developed in a manner that would not cause

3.0 Environmental Checklist for

3.4 Aesthetics
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 13 significant impacts on scenic resources. New projects would be required to preserve viewsheds and view corridors. Impacts of the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map, are considered to be less than significant.

3.4 (c) Degrades Visual Character
Implementation of t he amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map, could substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the Project Area. Future development would be required to implement the General Plan’s goals, programs, and policies, and would be subject to design review consistent with the City Plans, Grading, and Municipal Codes. Thus, negative impacts to visual character would be less than significant.

3.4 (d) Source of Light and Glare
Sources of light and glare exist within the confines of the City, including building lighting (interior and exterior), security lighting, sign illumination, and parking-area lighting. These sources are mostly associated with the multi -family residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Single -family, rural, and semirural residential development spread across the valley are also sources of nighttime light.

Other sources of nighttime light and glare include streetlights and vehicular traffic along roadways.

Additionally, some ambient lighting exists from surrounding communities and roadways.

The lighting associated with improvements and structures of future development projects could increase nighttime light and glare within the City. Sources of light and glare from new development would include lighting needed to provide nighttime street and b uilding illumination, security lighting, nighttime traffic, sign illumination, and lighting associated with construction activities.

All future development projects that would be accommodated by the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will be required that all outdoor lighting shall be designed and installed to comply with California Green Building Standard Code Section 5.106 or with a local ordinance lawfully enacted pursuant to California Green Building Standard Code Section 101.7, whichever is more stringent.

Adherence to City regulations and implementation of the policies of the General Plan would ensure that light and glare from new development and redevelopment projects accommodated by the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would be minimized and that significant impacts would not occur.

3.0 Environmental Checklist for

3.4 Aesthetics
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 14

3.4.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to aesthetics were determined to be less than significant, and no mitigation measures were identified.

No substantial changes in the environment related to aesthetics will occur with amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map changes that would lead to more significant impacts , and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.4.7 Conclusion
Development in the City has the potential to impact visual and scenic resources. Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to Scenic Vistas, Scenic Resources, Visual Character, and Light and Glare that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

The 2017 General Plan and related implementing actions established goals and policies for future residential, commercial, mixed-use, manufacturing, and industrial development throughout the City. The General Plan did not authorize any site -specific land-altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current views. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies.

The purpose of the Project is to implement items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law. The three follow -up housing implementation items: 1) amendments to the Development Code, 2) amendments to the General Plan Community Safety, Services and Facilities Element; and 3) amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map, and the Zoning Map. As such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on aesthetics, including scenic vistas, scenic resources, visual character, and light and glare that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.5.1 Summary of 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.5.A The State Department of Conservation (SDOC) designates 612 acres of land in the City as prime farmlands and their loss is considered a significant impact because the SDOC believes these soils are a significant regional or state -wide resource. Future development will also remove 2,077 acres of land classified as farmland of local importance (i.e., not prime farmland) which is not considered a significant impact of General Plan implementation.

3.5.B The small amount of land under Williamson Act contracts is being removed and the 2017 General Plan does not propose any agricultural zones.

3.5.C&D There are no forest resources within the City, so there will be no significant impacts would occur to forest zoned land from the implementation of the proposed General Plan.

3.5.E The City is underlain by approximately 2,000 acres of Class I-III soils which can support agricultural or farmland activities according to the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Future development will eventually cover over these soils with rural and suburban development. The goals and policies of the 2017 General Plan establish a process for the eventual transition of land from agriculture to development based on market conditions, and impacts of this conversion process will be less than significant.

3.5.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
Implementation of the General Plan goals, policies, and programs regarding agriculture will not reduce environmental impacts related to loss of prime agricultural soils to less than significant levels, and there is no feasible mitigation for this eventual loss ( e.g., no long -term preservation programs for agriculture).

3.5.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
COS 4.1.1 Use agricultural land conservation programs to improve the viability of farms COS 4.1.2 Discourage the conversion of productive agricultural land.

COS 4.1.3 Encourage placement of uses compatible with agriculture on adjacent land LUE 1.3 Encourage conservation of Prime Farmland and productive agricultural lands.

LUE 1.4 Adhere to the Riverside County Right-To-Farm Ordinance.

3.5.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to agricultural resources were less than significant with implementation of existing and proposed policies, standards, regulations, and implementing programs with the exception of loss of prime farmland which would have significant and unavoidable impacts with no feasible mitigation available.

3.5.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.5 (a) Conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
The amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would not result in the conversion of designated Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland to a non - agricultural use. It is the City’s intent to preserve productive agricultural land wherever possible and to discourage the conv ersion of productive agricultural land unless there are overarching community-wide benefits from conversion of agricultural land to urban uses.

The prime farmland is mainly located in the western portion of the City (just east of the I-15 Freeway north of Limonite Avenue) and the land designated as farmland of local importance located in the west, southeast, and northeast portions of the City. T he Parcels that make up the Project are not designated as prime farmland or farmland of local importance . Therefore, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions will not result in significant impacts related to farmland than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan and 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.5 (b) California Land and Conservation Act (Williamson Act) A Williamson Act Contract enables private landowners to voluntarily enter contracts with local governments for the purpose of establishing agricultural preserves. According to the County of Riverside, the site is not within an agricultural preserve. 1 Existing surrounding uses at the proposed
Project Sites include residential, commercial, light industrial and vacant land . The Parcels that make up the Project are not designated as prime farmland or farmland of local importance. The Project therefore will have no impacts on existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract.

3.5 (c, d, e) Rezone of Conversion of Forest Land or Timberland; Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest? There are no forest or timberland resources zoned within the City of Jurupa Valley , therefore impacts related to conversion of forest or timberland would be less than significant.

The Parcels that make up the Project are not designated as prime farmland or farmland of local importance. Therefore, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map , and Zoning Map, and implementing actions will not result in significant impacts related to farmland than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan and 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.5.6 New Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to agricultural, forestry, or timberland resources will occur with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.5.7 Conclusion
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to Agriculture and Forestry Resources that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.6.1 Summary of 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.6.A The proposed land uses are generally consistent with existing uses which were used to prepare the AQMP, and the goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan will substantially improve the jobs/housing balance in the City consistent with the SCAG RCP Guidelines and the goals of the SCAQMD AQMP.

3.6.B The project’s long-term daily operational VOC emissions would exceed the SCAQMD’s thresholds; therefore, the Proposed Plan would contribute to significant long -term cumulative air quality impacts.

Future development will emit air pollutants in amounts far in excess of SCAQMD regional thresholds for ROG, NOx, CO, PM10, and PM2.5. Implementation of the 2017 General Plan will help reduce future emissions to the greatest extent feasible at a programmatic level but will not be able to reduce them below SCAQMD thresholds for criterial pollutants.

3.6.C Air pollutant emissions from future development, including trucks from warehouse projects, may cause short - or long-term impacts on sensitive land uses that may be adjacent to construction sites. Sensitive land uses along major roadways may also experience air quality impacts as traffic increases from local growth. The goals and policies of the 2017 General Plan will help protect sensitive receptors along major roadways, so impacts will be less than significant in this regard.

During construction associated with future growth, there may be short -term construction-related air pollutant emissions that may impact adjacent sensitive uses.

The goals of the General Plan will help minimize potential impacts by regulating

3.8.D Future development may add uses in the City that produce short-term odors, but no significant long-term sources are expected. The 2017 General Plan policies restrict or regulate potential future uses to minimize impacts like odors.

3.6.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
Individual projects will have to identify and implement thei r own project -specific mitigation but there are no additional programmatic measures available othe r than the goals, policies, and programs of the Air Quality Element and other elements of the 201 7 General Plan that will help reduce air pollution from future development. Future development project may exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds even with project-specific mitigation, so this long-term impact remains significant.

3.6.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.6 (a & b) Conflict with Air Quality Plan
Conformity with Air Quality Management Plans
Consistency with 2022 AQMP
The 2022 AQMP has been prepared by SCAQMD and adopted on December 2, 2022. The 2022 AQMP builds upon measures already in place from previous AQMPs and includes a variety of additional proposed strategies such as regulation, accelerated deployment of available cleaner technologies (e.g., zero emission technologies, when cost -effective and feasible, and low NOx technologies in other applications), best management practices, co -benefits from existing programs (e.g., climate and energy efficiency), incentives, and other CAA measures to achieve the 2015 8 -hour ozone standard, which is the most stringent standard to date.

The SCAG region is diverse and large, and the types and classifications of land use used by one jurisdiction often differ from those used by another. The result is that there are many different land use types and classifications that SCAG must organize for its own analyses.

Given the number of square miles the SCAG region encompasses, SCAG developed a simplified series of Land Development Categories (LDCs) to represent the dominant themes taken from the region’s many General Plans. This was developed in order to facilitate regional modeling of land use

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.6 Air Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 22 information from nearly 200 distinct jurisdictions. The LDCs employed in the RTP/SCS are not intended to represent detailed land use policies but are used to describe the general conditions likely to occur within a specific area if recently emerging trends, such as transit -oriented development, were to continue in concert with the implementation of the 2016 RTP/SCS.

SCAG then classified the Place Types into three LDCs. The agency used these categories to describe the general conditions that exist and/or are likely to exist within a specific area. They reflect the varied conditions of buildings and roadways, transporta tion options, and the mix of housing and employment throughout the region. The three LDCs that SCAG used are:

1. Urban: These areas are often found within and directly adjacent to moderate and high- density urban centers. Nearly all urban growth in these areas would be considered infill or redevelopment.

The majority of housing is multifamily and attached single -family (town home), which tend to consume less water and energy than the larger types found in greater proportion in less urban locations. These areas are supported by high levels of regional and local transit service. They have well-connected street networks , and the mix and intensity of uses result in a highly walkable environment. These areas offer enhanced access and connectivity for people who choose not to drive or do not have access to a vehicle.

2. Compact: These areas are less dense than those in the Urban LDC , but they are highly walkable with a rich mix of retail, commercial, residential, and civic uses. These areas are most likely to occur as new growth on the urban edge, or as large-scale redevelopment. They have a rich mix of housing, from multifamily and attached single -family (townhome) to small- and medium lot single -family homes. These areas are well served by regional and local transit service, but they may not benefit from as much service as urban growth areas and are less likely to occur around major multimodal hubs. Streets in these areas are well connected and walkable, and destinations such as schools, shopping and entertainment areas can typically be reached by walking, biking, taking transit, or with a short auto trip.

3. Standard: These areas comprise the majority of separate -use, auto-oriented developments that have characterized the American suburban landscape for decades. Densities in these areas tend to be lower than those in the Com pact LDC, and they are generally not highly mixed. Medium- and larger-lot single-family homes comprise the majority of this development form. Standard areas are not typically well served by regional transit service, and most trips are made by automobile.

According to Exhibit 29, Forecasted Regional Development Types by Land Development Categor ies (2012)-Western Riverside County, the City of Jurupa Valley is classified as being within the Standard LDC.

Buildout of the Project is consistent with the Standard LDC and would not be greater than assumed by SCAG’s regional forecast projections and also the AQMP growth projections. In order to exceed the growth assumptions, the Project would have to increase the intensity of development to the degree it would result in the entire city to be reclassified to the Urban or Compact LDC. As such, the Project is consistent with the growth projections in City of Jurupa Valley General Plan and is considered to be consistent with the proposed 2022 AQMP.

Construction Emissions
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not authorize any development or other land-altering activity that could result in construction- related emissions. Potential emissions due to future construction activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site-specific air quality and GHG emissions studies and mitigation measures recommended as appropriate. This will occur in t he project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate potentially significant air quality and GHG impacts o f the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, .

Consistency with Control Measures
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) maintains a set of Rules & Regulations to improve and maintain healthy air quality for the entire population within its jurisdiction. When developing new regulations, the SC AQMD must comply with complex procedures established by

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.6 Air Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 24 statutes in federal and state codes. The following are some of the Rules that would apply to future construction of residential development.

Rule 201 Permit to Construct A person shall not build, erect, install, alter, or replace any equipment, the use of which may cause the issuance of air contaminants or the use of which may eliminate, reduce or control the issuance of air contaminants without first obtaining written authorization for such construction from the Air Po llution Control Officer. A permit to construct shall remain in effect until the permit to operate the equipment for which the application was filed is granted or denied, or the application is canceled.

Rule 203 Permit to Operate A person shall not operate or use any equipment, the use of which may cause the issuance of air contaminants or the use of which may reduce or control the issuance of air contaminants, without first obtaining a written permit from the Air Pollution Control Office. The equipment shall not be operated contrary to the conditions specified in the permit to operate.

Rule 204 Permit Conditions To assure compliance with all applicable regulations, the Air Pollution Control Officer may impose written conditions on any permit. Commencing work or operation under such a permit shall be deemed acceptance of all the conditions so specified.

Rule 401 Visible Emissions. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any air contaminant for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour which is:
(A) As dark or darker in shade as that designated No. 1 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of Mines; or
(B) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than does smoke described in subparagraph (b)(1)(A) of this rule.

Rule 402 Nuisance. A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property.

Rule 403 Fugitive Dust Control The purpose of this rule is to reduce the amount of PM10 entrained in the ambient air from anthropogenic Fugitive Dust sources within the District by requiring actions to prevent, reduce, or mitigate Fugitive Dust.

Rule 1113 Architectural Coatings. The purpose of this rule is to limit the quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in Architectural Coatings.

3.6 Air Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 25 Projects within the City are required to comply with the SCAQMD rules, regulations, and control measures; therefore, the Project is consistent with Criterion 1. Consistency with Growth Forecasts The SCAQMD’s Attainment Plans are based on several assumptions, of which population may be one of the factors. Factors used to generate emission projections may include, for example, the number of days an air quality standard is exceeded, the number and type of stationary sources (e.g., types of industries) the condition of roadways (e.g., paved or unpaved), the amount of construction and demolition activity, vehicle miles traveled, and meteorology. The California Air Resources Board (CARB), also disseminates the following types of Emissions Data for use by Air Districts for preparing Attainment Plans:
 Annual Statewide Emissions Summaries for mobile, stationary, and areawide.  Facility Emissions Data for individual facility emissions by region, industrial sector, or name.  Regional Emission Summaries for the state, air districts, air basins, counties, and by neighborhood.
 Neighborhood Emissions Data mapping with the Community Health Air Pollution Information System and Regional Emission Summaries.
 Trends in Emissions for historical data and future years.

As such, a project would result in development that results in greater than anticipated growth projections, would not necessarily result in an inconsistency that may obstruct or conflict with the SCAQMD Attainment Plans based on an increase in population.

3.6 (c) Sensitive Receptors
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and related implementing actions would not authorize any specific construction; however, future development projects constructed pursuant to land use policies could potentially expose sensitive receptors to temporary, localized pollutant concentrations in excess of air quality standards, even if the broader region is in attainment. Examples include emissions of fugitive dust and vehicle and machinery exhaust during large-scale grading activities and roadway construction. Under limited circumstances, large -scale construction activities could result in emissions of fugitive dust, nitrogen oxides, and other criteria pollutants that could exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds of significance and thereby could result in a significant impact. Emissions of fugitive dust near sensitive receptors are a primary concern because, unlike gaseous pollutants that quickly rise and affect the upper atmosphere, particul ate matter tends to remain close to the ground.

Pursuant to CEQA and implementation of the SCAQMD Rule Book, individual development projects will be assessed to determine if potential emissions could impact sensitive receptors or otherwise violate air quality rules. Such analyses will include project -specific mitigation measures, as appropriate. Furthermore, future construction activities will be subject to routine control measures as required by SCAQMD (including but limited to Rules 402, 403, and 1113). It should be noted that SCAQMD provides guidance regarding analysis of localized criteria pollutant impacts through the

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.6 Air Quality

3.6 (d) Odors
Land uses that have the potential to generate substantial odor complaints include wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, composting facilities, confined animal facility, and food manufacturing and chemical plants.

The City has designated zoning for industrial development, primarily to accommodate warehousing, manufacturing, and other light industrial land uses. These developments would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402. However, additional measures may be necessary to prevent an odor nuisance. Therefore, land uses associated with the 2017 General Plan may generate a potentially significant odor impact to a substantial number of people.

Future development associated with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I and Zoning Map, would involve minor odor- generating activities, such as lawn mower exhaust, application of exterior paints for building improvement, and cooking odors . However, unlike industrial land uses, these land uses are not considered potential generators of odor that could affect a substantial number of people. Therefore, impacts from potential odors generated from commercial land uses associated with the General Plan are considered less than significant.

During construction activities, construction equipment exhaust and application of asphalt and architectural coatings would temporarily generate odors. Any construction- related odor emissions would be temporary and intermittent in nature. Additionally, noxious odors would be confined to the immediate vicinity of the construction equipment. By the time such emissions reach any sensitive receptor sites, they would be diluted to well below any level of air quality c oncern.

Furthermore, short -term construction -related odors are expected to cease upon the drying or hardening of the odor -producing materials. Therefore, impacts associated with construction - generated odors are considered less than significant

3.6.6 New Additional Mitigation Measures
As described in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, impacts related to air quality were determined to be less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.

No substantial changes in the environment related to air quality will occur with amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map , that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.6.7 Conclusion
Development in the City has the potential to impact air quality. Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to air quality that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

The General Plan and related implementing actions established goals and policies for future development throughout the Project Area. The amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, does not authorize any site -specific land altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current air quality. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies.

The purpose of the Project is to implement items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law. The three follow- up housing implementation items: 1) amendments to the Development Code, 2) amendments to the General Plan Community Safety, Services and Facilities Element; and 3) amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map, and the Zoning Map. A s such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on air quality that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.7.1 Summary of 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.7.A Endangered and Threatened Species: The City contains habitat for several listed species and additional sensitive species, especially associated with the Santa Ana River and the Jurupa Hills. Future development will have to evaluate site -specific impacts and provide mitigation.

D. Conserve large intact habitat areas consisting of coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grasslands to support known locations of Coastal California Gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica).

E. Conserve grassland and coastal sage scrub supporting known populations of San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys merriami ssp. parvus) in the Jurupa Mountains.

F. Conserve grasslands adjacent to sage scrub for foraging habitat for raptors.

COS 1.1.2 Protection of Significant Trees. Protect and preserve significant trees, as determined by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Significant trees are those trees that make substantial contributions to natural habitat or to the urban landscape due to their species, size, or rarity. In particularly, California native trees are protected.

COS 1.1.3 Other Significant Vegetation. Maintain and conserve superior examples o f agricultural windrows, street trees, stands of mature native and non -native trees, and other features of ecological, aesthetic, and conservation value.

COS 2.1.1 MSHCP Implementation. Implement provisions of the MSHCP when conducting review of development applications, General Plan amendments/Zoning changes transportation or other infrastructure projects that are covered activities in the MSHCP.

COS 2.1.2 Wildlife Corridors. Identify and maintain a continuous wildlife corridor along th e City’s northern boundary through the Jurupa Mountains and along the Santa Ana River from the northern boundary to the City’s western boundary. Conditio n development approvals to ensure important corridors for wildlife movement and dispersal are protected. Features of particular importance to wildlife include riparian corridors, wetlands, streams, springs and protected natural areas with cover and water. Linkages and corridors shall be provided to maintain connections between habitat areas.

COS 2.1.3 Biological Reports. For development projects with the potential to affect adversely wildlife habitat and that require discretionary approvals, require the preparation of biological reports to assess the impacts of such development and provide mitigation for impacts to biological resources.

COS 3.1.6 Landscaping with Native Plants. Encourage the use of California Native Plants for drought-resistant landscape planting.

3.7.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan FEIR determined that impacts related to biological resources were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.

3.7.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.7 (a) Endangered and Threatened Species / 3.9 (b) Riparian and Other Sensitive Communities The City is a permittee of the Riverside County Multiple-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and must thereby comply with the reserve assembly provisions as well as the provisions in Sections

6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.3.2, of the MSHCP for projects proposed within the City. The implementation of the MSHCP at the project- specific level would minimize direct and indirect species impacts of future projects proposed in accordance with the General Plan.

Implementation of the General Plan goals, policies, and programs as future development occurs will help ensure that potential impacts to listed species within the City will be less than significant. The 2017 GP FEIR states that the most important policies in this regard will be protection of listed species (Policy COS 1.1.1), implementation of the MSHCP (Policy COS 2.1.1), and preparing biological reports to identify and protect site-specific resources (Policy COS 2.1.3

Additionally, payment of the mitigation fee and compliance with all applicable requirements of the MSHCP provides full mitigation under California Environmental Quality Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Endangered Species Act, and California Endangered Species Act for impacts to MSHCP-covered species and habitats. The MSHCP also addresses indirect impacts through cores and linkages, criteria cells, and MSHCP fees. Impacts to MSHCP-covered species would be potentially significant without mitigation.

Potential impacts to special status species and their habitats caused by future development provided for by the Project will be less than significant with implementation of existing policies and programs.

3.7 (c) Jurisdictional Waters or Resources
Project implementation may directly and indirectly affect State and Federal protected waters with future development.

Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires an applicant to obtain certification for any activity that may result in a discharge of a pollutant into waters of the United States. As a result, proposed fill in waters and wetlands require coordination with the appropriate state Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) that administers Section 401 and provides certification. The RWQCB also plays a role in review of water quality and wetland issues, including avoidance and minimization of impacts. Section 40 1 certification is required prior to the issuance of a Section 404 permit, as discussed below.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.7 Biological Resources
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 32

Under Section 404 of the CWA the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) has jurisdiction over “Wetlands” and “Waters of the United States.” Permitting of activities that could discharge fill or dredge materials or otherwise adversely modify wetlands or other waters of the United States and associated habitat is required. Permits authorized by ACOE under the Act typically involve mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts on wetlands and other waters of the United States in a manner that achieves no net loss of wetland acres or values.

If development is in wetland areas, state and federal laws and regulations would be implemented to protect resources from development through the Corps Section 404 permitting process, the California Wetlands Conservation Policy, and compliance with applicable MSHCP policies. The California Wetlands Conservation Policy is intended to ensure no net loss of wetlands occurs within the State.

Additionally, wetlands are protected under Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP , which outlines the requirements and protection of riparian areas and/or vernal pools. Future development projects would comply with conditions of any required permits from RWQCB, Corps, and CDFW, and provisions of the MSHCP.

The proposed Project includes General Plan Policy COS 2.1.3, which requires that a qualified biologist survey the areas to be impacted for future projects to determine impacts to hydrological features.

With implementation of General Plan Policy COS 2.1.3, impacts will be less than significant.

3.7 (d) Wildlife Corridors
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not include any land use policies or circulation changes that could fragment or impede local or migratory wildlife corridors.

3.7 (e & f) Conflicts with a Local Policies or other Conservation Plans Local Polices or Ordinances

2017 General Plan, specifically Policies COS 2.1.1 and 2.1.3, require future development to be consistent with the MSHCP and provide assessments of onsite biological resources. With implementation of these policies, potential impacts of future development on adopted habitat conservation plans will be less than significant, and no mitigation is needed

3.7.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to biological resources will occur with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities

3.7.7 Conclusion
Development in the City has the potential to impact biological resources. At a programmatic level, the City requires all future development to protect biological resources. Implementing existing Programs and Policies as well as required regulations will en sure the protection of biological resources to be mitigated to less than significant levels. Given required compliance with local and state regulations and implementation of the proposed Implementing Programs, impacts associated with development supported by the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions will be less than significant.

The amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, does not authorize any site -specific land altering activities or any particular development project, infrastructure improvement, or community facility and thus will have no direct impact on current biological resources. Future development projects will be constructed in light of the policies of the 2017 General Plan, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and policies.

The purpose of the Project is to implement items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law. The three follow -up housing implementation items: 1) amendments to the Development Code, 2) amendments to the General Plan Community Safety, Services and Facilities Element; and 3) amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map, and the Zoning Map. As such there will be no changes that would increase impacts on biological resources that were not considered in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.8.1 Summary of Jurupa Valley North 2035 Plan EIR Conclusions

3.8.A The City contains a number of historic and potentially historic facilities that will be protected as development occurs, including surveys of buildings older than 45 years.

3.8.B The City overlaps the ranges of three Native American tribal groups and may contain archaeological artifacts which will be protected by the various policies of the General Plan relative to Native American resources.

3.8.C The City is underlain by younger Holocene alluvium and older Pleistocene alluvial sediments – these older materials may yield paleontological resources which will be protected by the policies established in the General Plan.

3.8.D If human remains are discovered during grading for future development, the developer will comply with State law (Health and Safety Code § 7050.5) (HSC § 7050.5).

3.8.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
There are no unavoidable adverse impacts.

3.8.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
CUL 1.3 The city will place developers responsible for the destruction of historic and archaeologically significant resources on file with the County of Riverside and the State of California, Office of Historic Preservation.

COS 7.1.1 Preservation of Significant Cultural Resources. Identify, protect, and where necessary, archive significant paleontological, archaeological, and historical resources.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.8 Cultural Resources
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 35 COS 7.1.3 Development Review. Evaluate project sites for archaeological sensitivity and for a project’s potential to uncover or disturb cultural resources as part of development review.

COS 7.1.4 Site Confidentiality. Protect the confidentiality and prevent inappropriate public exposure or release of information on locations or contents of paleontological and archaeological resource sites.

COS 7.1.5 Native American Consultation. Refer development projects for Native American tribal review and consultation as part of the environmental review process, in compliance with State law.

COS 7.1.7 Qualified archaeologist present. Cease construction or grading activities in and around sites where substantial archaeological resources are discovered until a qualified archaeologist knowledgeable in Native American cultures can determine the significance of the resource and recommend alternative mitigation measures.

COS 7.1.8 Native American Monitoring. Include Native American participation in the City's guidelines for resource assessment and impact mitigation. Native American representatives should be present during archaeological excavation and during construction in an area likely to contain cultural resources. The Native American community shall be consulted as knowledge of cultural resources expands and as the City considers updates or significant changes to its General Plan.

COS 7.1.9 Archaeological Resources Mitigation. Require a mitigation plan to protect resources when a preliminary site survey finds substantial archaeological resources before permitting construction. Possible mitigation measures include presence of a qualified professional during initial grading or trenching; project redesign; covering with a layer of fill; excavation, removal and curation in an appropriate facility under the direction of a qualified professional.

COS 7.1.10 Historically significant buildings. Prohibit the demolition or substantial alteration in outward appearance of historically significant buildings and structures unless doing so is necessary to remove a threat to health and safety and other means to elimina te or reduce the threat to acceptable levels are infeasible. (See GP Table COS-20 for a listing of Historic and Potentially Historic Structures)

3.8.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to cultural resources were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified with the exception of Historic and Paleontological Resources. The following Mitigation Measures were included to reduce impacts to less than significant:

Historical Resources Mitigation Measure: Prior to issuance of a demolition permit for any structure older than 45 years at the time of application and according to City building records or other official

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.8 Cultural Resources
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 36 documentation, a project applicant shall provide an historical assessment of the structure prepared by a qualified professional (i.e., certified historian or architectural historian) with a determination whether the structure represents a significant historical resource according to Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The assessment shall include contact with a local historical society regarding the structure’s potential local significance.

If the structure is determined to not be historic or potentially historic, either at a state or local level, the structure may be demolished without further documentation. If the structure is not historic on a state level but has local historical significance, the structure may be demolished with City Council approval, provide that the property is photo-recorded and archived prior to demolition. If the structure has state historical significance, the project historian shall prepare a preservation plan which shall address in-place or onsite preservation, relocation to an appropriate offsite location, or demolition only if it can be clearly demonstrated that preservation in place is not physically, or structurally feasible. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Planning Department.

Paleontological Resources Mitigation Measure: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a project applicant must demonstrate if the proposed project grading will impact underlying soil units or geologic formations that have a moderate to high potential to yield fossiliferous materials. If the potential for fossil discovery is low, no pre -grading monitoring needs to be established. If the potential for fossil discovery is moderate to high, the applicant must provide a paleontological monitor during rough gradin g of the project. If a paleontologist is not onsite and possible fossil materials are found, work shall be halted in that area until the material can be assessed by a qualified professional. If materials are found onsite during grading, a qualified professional shall evaluate the find and determine if it represents a significant paleontological resource. If the resource is determined to be significant, the paleontologist shall supervise removal of the material and determine the most appropriate archival sto rage of the material. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Planning Department.

3.8.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.8 (a) Historical Resources
Treatment of Historic Properties. Historic structures and sites that are eligible for National Register of Historic Resources listing may be vulnerable to development activities associated with buildout.

Historical resources are buildings, structures, obje cts, sites, and districts of significance in history, archaeology, architecture, and culture. These resources include intact structures of any type that are 50 years or more of age, which are sometimes called the built environment and can include, in addition to houses, structures such as irrigation works and engineering features. Historical resources are preserved because they provide a link to a region’s past and a frame of reference for a community. Often these sites are a source of pride for a city.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.8 Cultural Resources
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 37 At the time development or redevelopment projects are proposed, the project -level CEQA document would need to identify impacts to known or potential historic sites and structures. The CEQA Guidelines require a project that will have potentially adverse impacts on historical resources to conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historical Properties.

Implementation of the existing G eneral Plan Policies included as part of the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan C ommunity Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, provides protection and preservation of Historical Resources, and impacts are less than significant.

3.8 (b) Archaeological Resources
Long-term development and redevelopment, including grading, of sensitive areas could impact archaeological resources. Thus, there is a potential to uncover archaeological resources within the Project Area during development activities.

The land within the City has the potential to yield archaeological resources or tribal cultural resources from past Native American activities. State regulations requires consultation with local Native American tribal groups under both SB 18 and AB 52. Imp lementation of the existing 2017 General Plan Policies along with Tribal Consultation provides protection and preservation of Archaeological Resources and impacts of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, are less than significant.

3.8 (c) Paleontological Resources
There is a potential to uncover undiscovered paleontological resources as the City of Jurupa Valley. contains geologic formations known potentially to contain paleontological resources. Future development of vacant land throughout the City may uncover previously undiscovered fossiliferous materials, so this impact is potentially significant.

With implementation of the identified policies, plus the regulatory requirements of the state , potential impacts to paleontological resources from future development within the Project Areas will be reduced to less than significant levels.

3.8 (d) Disturbance of Human Remains
Implementation of the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would allow development and redevelopment, including grading, possibly disturbing human remains, including those outside of formal cemeteries. Existing regulations, including the California Public Resources Code § 5097.98, Health and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code §21083.2 and CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(f) are required and would afford protection for human remains discovered during development activities. In addition, review and protection are afforded by CEQA for projects subject to discretionary action, particularly for

3.8 Cultural Resources
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 38 activities that could potentially disturb human remains. AB 52 and SB 18 requires consultation regarding Native American sites and artifacts, but the potential for project -level impacts to unidentified and unrecorded tribal cultural places remains moderate to high. The excavation and grading activities of the proposed project could result in impacts to human remains. However, Public Resources Code § 5097.98, Health and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code § 21083.2 and CEQA Guidelines § 15064.5(f), mandates the process to be followed in the event of a discovery of any human remains. Impacts to human remains would be less than significant.

Post 2017 General Plan FEIR Certification Thresholds
Since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification, CEQA Guidelines Appendix G has been revised to include a new Tribal Cultural Resources threshold; refer to Section 3 .21, Tribal Cultural Resources, for further discussion.

3.8.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to cultural resources with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.8.7 Conclusion
Development in the City has the potential to impact historic, archaeological, paleontological, and tribal cultural resources. At a programmatic level, the City requires all future development to protect cultural resources, including archaeological, historical, and paleontological materials or artifacts.

Implementing existing Programs and Policies will ensure the protection of historic resources by requiring that a records search be performed prior to construction activities affecting historical resources and by requiring that impacts to historic resources be mitigated to less than significant levels. Given required compliance with local and state regulations and implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, impacts associated with development and implementing actions will be less than significant.

The existing General Plan policies, outlined above , will provide sufficient programmatic protection for undiscovered archaeological resources or artifacts that may be present within the City.

Additionally, consultation and coordination with local Native American tribal representatives prior to grading for future development is a regulatory requirement, therefore impacts related to these resources will be reduced to less than significant levels, and no new mitigation is required.

Therefore, the proposed changes would not affect cultural resources. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning cultural resources has been discovered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, implementation of the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning cultural resources than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no new mitigation is required.

3.9.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions
The CEQA Energy section was not implemented and added to the CEQA environmental review until 2019 ( §15126.2(b)). The 2017 General Plan FEIR contained an analysis of long -term effects that included Energy Conservation in section 5.4 and summarized below.

In this case, the “project” is the proposed 2017 General Plan for the City, which will provide a framework for future land use changes and growth rather than act as a type of separate development project. Therefore, standard calculations and an assessment of the project’s level of energy conservation of consistency with energy conservation laws or regulations is inappropriate at this programmatic level.

There are no unavoidable adverse impacts identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.9.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
AQ 5.1.1 Reduce Solid Waste. Utilize source reduction, recycling, and other appropriate measures to reduce the amount of solid waste disposed of in landfills.

AQ 5.1.2 Energy Conservation. Encourage advanced energy conservation techniques and the incorporation of energy-efficient design elements for private and public developments, including appropriate site orientation and the use of shade and windbreak trees to reduce fuel consumption for heating and cooling and offer incentives, as appropriate.

COS 5.1.5 Energy Efficiency and Green Building. Encourage energy -efficient “green buildings” as certified by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Program or equivalent certification.

3.9.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.9 (a) Wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation:

Electricity and Natural Gas
Construction – Future development under the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would require the use of electric power tools. The consumption of electricity would be temporary in nature and would not represent a significant demand on available supplies. The use of natural gas is not typically anticipated to be used during construction.

Operations – Occupancy of the commercial facilities would result in the consumption of natural gas and electricity. Natural gas would be supplied to the Project by Southwest Gas Corporation and electricity would be supplied by SCE. The amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, does not propose uses that are inherently energy intensive, and the energy demands in future development would be comparable to other land use projects of similar scale and configuration. Future development under the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will also be required to comply with the applicable Title 24 standards.

Motor Vehicle Fuels
Construction – Most activities would use fuel powered equipment and vehicles that would consume gasoline or diesel fuel. Heavy construction equipment (e.g., dozers, graders, backhoes, dump trucks) would be diesel powered, while smaller construction vehicles, such as pick -up trucks and personal vehicles used by workers would be gasoline powered.

The consumption of fuel would be temporary in nature and would not represent a significant demand on available supplies. As required by state law, 3 idling times of construction vehicles is limited to no more than 5 minutes, thereby minimizing, or eliminating unnecessary and wasteful consumption of fuel due to unproductive idling of construction equipment. Equipment employed in construction of future developments under the proposed amendments to the Development Code,

Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 42 General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map , would therefore not result in inefficient wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of fuel.

Operations – Fuel that would be consumed by Project-generated traffic is a function of total vehicles miles traveled (VMT) and estimated vehicle fuel economies of vehicles accessing the Project Areas.

Enhanced fuel economies realized pursuant to federal and state regulatory actions, and related transition of vehicles to alternative energy sources (e.g., electricity, natural gas, biofuels, hydrogen cells) would likely decrease future gasoline fuel demands per VMT.

3.9 (b) State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency Residential Projects
The regulations directly applicable to the Project are Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6, CALGreen Title 24, Part 11. As an element of both Part 6 and Part 1 1 there are mandatory requirements for planning and design, energy efficiency, water efficiency and conservation, material conservation & resource efficiency, and environmental quality. These regulations include but are not limited to the use of energy efficient heating and cooling systems, water conserving plumbing and water -efficient irrigation systems. Future development under the Plan is required to demonstrate compliance with these regulations as part of the building permit and inspection process.

3.9.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to energy will occur with the land use and zoning map changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.9.7 Conclusion
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, plans for but does not directly propose the construction of new development. No new information of substantial importance concerning energy has been discovered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, Project implementation would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impac ts concerning recreation than anticipated in the General Plan FEIR, and no mitigation is required.

3.10.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.10.A.i There are no major regional faults or Earthquake Fault Zones as defined by the State of California in the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Act in the City, and the goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan must still address fault-related issues that will face future development within the City.

3.10.A.ii Similar to the entire Southern California region, the City will be subject to moderate to severe ground shaking as a result of numerous regional faults. The 2017 General Plan addresses potential impacts to future residents and development that will be built in the City.

3.10.A.iii Land in the City has low to moderate susceptibility to lateral displacement or is susceptible to differential settlement from liquefaction. The 2017 General Plan goals,

3.10.A.iv The City contains a number of upland areas associated with the Jurupa Hills in the central and northern portions of the City. The 2017 General Plan contains goals, policies, and programs to address these potential hazards on future development.

3.10.B Grading for future development could result in erosion on unprotected slopes and cleared areas. The 2017 General Plan outlines requirements of other regulatory agencies (i.e., SWPPP, WQMP) to protect the City from erosion in the future as development occurs.

3.10.C Impacts related to ground failure will be less than significant with implementation of existing city policies and regulations.

3.10.D The City contains limited areas with expansive soils, and the 2017 General Plan provides goals, policies, and programs for future development to follow that will reduce potential risks in this regard to less than significant levels.

3.10.E Use of septic facilities would be very limited or precluded under the 2017 General Plan, so new development in the future would have less than significant impacts in this regard.

3.10.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
There are no unavoidable adverse impacts.

3.10.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
CS 1.1.1 Fault Rupture Hazards. When reviewing new development, minimize fault rupture hazards through enforcement of Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act provisions and the following requirements:
a. Require geologic studies or analyses for new, critical structures, such as schools, medical facilities, senior or disabled housing or other high -risk occupancies located within 0.5 miles of all active or potentially active faults. b. Require geologic trenching studies for new developments within all designated Earthquake Fault Studies Zones unless adequate evidence is presented and accepted by the City Engineer or Building Official. The City may also require geologic trenching for new development located outside of designated fault zones for especially critical or vulnerable structures or lifelines. c. Require that critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges and utilities be designed to resist, without failure, their crossing of a fault, should fault rupture occur. d. Encourage and support efforts by the geologic research community to better define better the locations and risks of County faults. Such efforts could include data sharing

CS 1.1.2 Geologic Investigations. Require geological and geotechnical investigations as part of the environmental and development review process. This requirement shall apply to the development of any structure proposed for human occupancy or to unoccupied structures, whose damage could cause secondary hazards in areas with potential for earthquake-induced liquefaction, landslides, or settlement.

CS 1.1.5 Hillside Development. Encourage, and where possible require mitigation of potential erosion, landslide and settlement hazards for existing public and private development located on unstable hillside areas, especially slopes with recurring failures where City property or public right-of-way is threatened from slope instability or were considered appropriate and urgent by the City Engineer, Cal Fire, or County Sheriff’s Department.

AQ 3.1.5 Fugitive Dust Reduction Measures. Apply, as appropriate, measures contained in the County's Fugitive Dust Reduction to the entire City.

AQ 3.1.6 Grading in High Winds. Suspend all grading when wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour.

3.10.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan FEIR determined that impacts related to geology and soils were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified with the exception of potential fault rupture and ground shaking impacts and the following mitigation measures were identified:

Potential Seismic Hazards Site Specific Geotechnical Evaluation: Before a project is approved or otherwise permitted within an A- P Zone or within 15 feet of any other active or potentially active fault mapped in a published United States Geologic Survey (USGS) or CGS reports, or within other potential earthquake hazard area (as determined by the City), a site -specific geologic investigation shall be prepared to assess potential seismic hazards resulting from development of the project sites. Where and when required, the geotechnical investigation shall address the issue(s), hazard(s), and geographic area(s) determined by the City of Jurupa Valley Planning and Building Departments to be relevant to each development. The site-specific geotechnical investigation shall incorporate up-to-date data from government and non- government sources. Based on the site -specific geotechnical investigation, no structures intended for human occupancy shall be constructed across active faults. This site-specific evaluation and written report shall be prepared by a licensed geologist and shall be submitted to City of Jurupa Valley Planning and Building Departments for review and approval as part of the environmental and entitlement process and prior to the issuance of building permits. If an active fault is discovered, any structure intended for human occupancy shall be set back at least 50 feet from the fault. A larger or smaller setback may be established if such a setback is supported by adequate evidence as presented to and accepted by the City.

3.10.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.10 (a) Exposure to Adverse Effects of Earthquakes
Each development project considered for approval by the City under the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would be required to comply with seismic safety provisions of the California Building Code (CBC) (Title 24, Part 2 of the California Code of Regulations) and have a geotechnical investigation conducted for the affected project site. The geote chnical investigation would calculate seismic design parameters pursuant to CBC requirements and would include foundation and structural design recommendations, as needed, to reduce hazards to people and structures arising from ground shaking. Impacts would be less than significant.

3.10 (b) Soil Erosion and Loss of Topsoil
Grading and construction of development and redevelopment projects could expose large amounts of soil and could result in soil erosion if effective erosion control measures were not used. Best management practices (BMPs) for erosion control are required un der National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act. NPDES requirements for construction projects one acre or more in area are set forth in the General Construction Permit issued by the State Wate r Resources Control Board (SRWCB; Order No. 2009 - 0009- DWQ).

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.10 Geology and Soils
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 47 New development within the City is required to prepare a site-specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). The WQMP contains post -construction measures, which will help reduce potential impacts to soil erosion to less than significant levels and identifies measures to treat and/or limit the entry of contaminants into the storm drain system.

Furthermore, demolition, land clearing, grading, and construction activities of projects approved pursuant to the proposed General Plan would be required to comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District Rules 403 and 403.2 regulating fugitive dust emissions, thus minimizing wind erosion from such ground -disturbing activities. Construction activities would not generate substantial erosion. Soil erosion impacts would be less than significant.

3.10 (c,d) Unstable and Expansive Soils
Subsidence
Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the earth’s surface due to subsurface movement of earth materials. More than 80 percent of identified subsidence in the United States is caused through overdrafting of groundwater. Drainage of organic soils, underground mining, natural compaction, and thawing o f permafrost can also cause subsidence. Similar to collapse and settlement, subsidence causes large areas of land to sink, thereby potentially damaging foundations, walls, and floors.

Soil Collapse
Collapsible soils consist of loose, dry, low -density materials that collapse and compact with the addition of water or excessive loading. Such soils are typical in areas of young alluvial fans, debris flow sediments, and aeolian deposits. Collapse occurs when subsurface soils are excessively saturated at levels deeper than those reached by an average rainfall and the clay bonds holding the soil grains together are eliminated. Collapse can result in cracked foundations, floors, and walls.

Collapse could occur within the Project Area in any area dominated by young alluvial sediments and could be exacerbated by human activities such as excessive irrigation.

Expansive Soils
Expansive soil and rock are characterized by the shrinking and swelling of clayey material as the materials dry or become wet. Shrink-swell potential is the potential for volume change in a soil with a loss or gain in moisture. Volume change occurs mainly because of the interaction of clay minerals with water and varies with the amount and type of clay minerals in the soil. The size and the load on the soil and the magnitude of the change in soil moisture content influence the amount of swelling of soils in place. If shrink -swell potential is rated moderate to very high, damage to buildings, roads, and other structures may occur. Special building design is often needed to counteract the impacts of expansive soils.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.10 Geology and Soils
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 48 Map, and implementing actions will not directly subject people or structures to hazards associated with expansive soils because it does not authorize any construction project, any development plan, or any other land alteration activities. Soils testing to deter mine expansive characteristics are required for new development, pursuant to CBC and future iterations of the CBC. Mitigation of expansive conditions is also required and must be fully defined in the routine grading permit process. The city will continue to administer these CBC regulations, and any updates thereto, for all new development in the Project Area. This ongoing regulatory program will avoid significant impacts involving expansive soils.

3.10 (e) Septic Systems
All new development within the City would be required to connect to the local Community Service Districts’ sewer systems. There are no policies related to septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems in the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map . Because septic tanks and alternative wastewater treatment facilities would not be allowed for new development, soils incapable of supporting such facilities are not of concern and no significant impacts are expected or likely. There is no impact because new development would not be allowed to install septic tanks or alternative wastewater treatment facilities.

Paleontological Resources
Paleontological Resources is covered in Section 3.8 – Cultural Resources .

3.10.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to geology and soils with amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes have been identified that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.10.7 Conclusion
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, plans for but does not directly propose the construction of new residential development. The amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, includes the existing goal s, programs, and policies to guide new development. Therefore, the proposed changes would not affect the potential exposure to seismic or geologic hazards. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning seismic or geologic hazards has been discov ered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community

3.11.1 Summary of 2017 General Plan Final EIR Conclusions

3.11.A Future development in the City will result in substantial increases in GHG emissions from additional vehicular trips and more residents and businesses. These emissions are projected to be 717,018 MT CO2e compared to adjusted “Business As Usual” emissions of 744,674 MT CO2e so City -wide GHG emissions will not exceed the SCAMD’s service area significance threshold and impacts will be less than significant.

Based on its location, the City is not expected to experience significant impacts related to global climate change as a result of implementing the 2017 General Plan.

3.11.B The goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan relative to GHG are consistent and will not in conflict with GHG reduction goals under AB 32 or other State regulations.

3.11.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.11 (a, b) Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Greenhouse Gas Plans Construction and operation of future development would generate greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions, with the majority of energy consumption (and associated generation of GHG emissions) occurring during operation (as opposed to during its construction) of future land uses. Typically, more than 80 percent of total operational energy consumption takes place during the use of a building, and less than 20 percent of energy is consumed during construction. As of yet, there is no study that quantitatively assesses all of the GHG emissions associated with each phase of the construction and use of an individual development. Overall, the construction and operational activities associated with new development could directly or indirectly contribute to the generation of GHG emissions.

GHG emissions associated with future new development would occur over the short- term from construction activities and would consist primarily of emissions from equipment exhaust. There would also be long -term regional emissions associated with specific pro ject-related new vehicular trips and stationary source emissions, such as natural gas used for heating and electricity usage for lighting. There are no established GHG thresholds at present for construction emissions.

Long-term operation of the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would generate GHG emissions from area and mobile sources and indirect emissions from stationary sources associated with energy consumption.

Mobile-source emissions of GHGs would include project -generated vehicle trips associated with residential and comme rcial activities. Area -source emissions would be associated with activities such as landscaping and maintenance of proposed land uses, natural gas for heating, and other sources. Increases in stationary -source emissions would also occur at off -site utility providers as a result of demand for electricity, natural gas, and water by the proposed uses. In addition, methane generated from wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal.

Human activities contribute to increasing concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere. Measures to reduce potential impacts of criteria air pollutants, which indirectly also help reduce GHG emissions, are included throughout the City’s 2017 General Plan and the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map. In addition to the Air Quality Element, the Land Use & Planning Element; the Population & Housing Element; the Transportation Element; the Hydrology and Water Quality Element; and the Utilities and Service Systems Element include policies and programs to reduce GHG emissions and help slow the progression of climate change. The policies listed above in Section 3.11.3 are specifically related to minimizing GHG emissions to the greatest degree practical.

Existing General Plan policies that support the Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan are contained above in Section 3.11.3, Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies.

3.11.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to greenhouse gas emissions will occur with the land use changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.11.7 Conclusion
The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, plans for but does not directly propose the construction of new development.

Therefore, the Project’s implementation would not conflict with facilitation or implementation of the City’s 2017 General Plan. No additional information of substantial importance concerning GHG has been discovered, since the 2017 G eneral Plan FEIR certification. Thus, Project implementation would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning GHG than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no mitigation is required.

3.12.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.12.A, B, C Future land uses in the City, especially industrial development in the northwest and northeast portions, would store, manufacture, or handle hazardous materials.

However, implementation of the 2017 General Plan, along with federal, state, and local regulations, will help assure potential impacts from hazardous materials in the City are reduced to less than significant levels.

3.12.D The former Stringfellow Pits are on the federal Superfund list for ongoing remediation.

The Jurupa Valley also contains a number of facilities that handle hazardous materials that are included on several regulatory databases.

3.12.E The Flabob Airport is located in the eastern portion of the City, and the Riverside Municipal Airport is located immediately south of the City across the Santa Ana River.

The safety zones of both facilities overlap portions of the City. For example, the RMA Land Use Compatibility (ALUC) Plan Zone E does include the southeast portion of the

3.12.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan FEIR determined that impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.

3.12.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.12 (a, b): Hazardous Material Use, Transport and Storage, Accidental Release There is a possibility that future development in the City, especially industrial projects, could accidentally release hazardous materials within the City during routine use, transport, or disposal.

The most likely method of release would be a traffic accident involving one or more vehicles hauling hazardous materials. Additionally, there are many vacant parcels which could be the site of earlier development or unknown dumping of potentially hazardous materials. Properties in the City may have been developed prior to existing federal and state laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials. As these properties are redeveloped in the future, there is a possibility that hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead-based paint, etc. could be encountered.

Current federal and state regulations as well as County and City ordinances would regulate the handling of hazardous substances to reduce potential releases; exposure; and risks of transporting, storing, treating, and disposing of hazardous materials and wastes. Impacts would be less than significant.

3.12 (c) Hazards within ¼ mile of schools
There are no existing schools withing ¼ mile of any of site proposed for redesignation and/or rezone.

The City does not have jurisdiction with respect to the location, design, or construction of school facilities, however, f uture development in proximity to an existing or already planned school site would be subject to City review concerning potential environmental effects, in accordance with the City’s routine CEQA compliance procedures. Through the existing planning process, impacts involving manufacture, use, transport, storage, or disposal of hazardous substances and wastes near a school site will be considered. If potentially significant effects are identified, measures to avoid or reduce impacts to less than significant levels would also need to be identified, and the City would be required to consider feasible mitigation measures and make specific findings to document that consideration.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.12 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 57

3.12 (d) Hazardous Materials Sites
Since the Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and related implementing actions allow for but do not authorize any specific development project or any other land use altering proposal, the project would not result in any direct impacts involving a development project on a site known to be contaminated and reported as such under California Government Code §65962.5. The proposed project identifies sites for future development on both vacant and existing commercial use properties. Depending on current or past uses, site contamination may have occurred. Development on contaminated sites not only poses a threat to persons on the site but also prevents the contamination from being cleaned, allowing it to continue to transport through the soil and eventually to groundwater resources.

However, properties contaminated by hazardous substances are regulated at the local, state, and federal level and are subject to compliance with stringent laws and regulations for investigation and remediation. For example, compliance with the CERCLA, RCRA, California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and related requirements would remedy any potential impacts caused by hazardous substance contamination. All environmental investigations, sampling, and/or remediation for projects within the City would be conduc ted under the oversight of a regulatory agency that has jurisdiction.

Impacts would be less than significant.

3.12 (e) Public & Private Airport Safety Hazard
Safety zones of two public airports, Riverside Municipal Airport (RMA) and the Flabob Airport, overlap portions of the City of Jurupa Valley. The Flabob Airport is located in the eastern portion of the City just north of the Santa Ana River. The RMA is loc ated south of the eastern portion of the City across the Santa Ana River.

At the time of development or redevelopment projects are proposed, the project level CEQA document would need to identify impacts with ALUP Compliance and Consistency. General Plan Policies LUE 5.53, LUE 5.54, and LUE 5.56 would require development review for compliance and consistency with the ALUP.

3.12 (f) Adopted Emergency Response Plan
Impairment of emergency or evacuation procedures can result in increased property damage and/or personal injury by slowing emergency services response times or preventing the public from being able to escape emergency situations. The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not include any proposed changes in the physical organization of the Project Area that could interfere with the City’s emergency response or evacuation procedures pursuant to NIMS, SEMS, or the City’s emergency response plan. Disaster response procedures are designed to be flexible in nature to adapt to the volatile and unpredicta ble nature of disasters and hazards. This flexibility allows for

3.12 (g) Wildland Fires
The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and related implementation will not directly expose people or property to the threat of wildland fires. Impacts associated with wildland fires include property damage and personal injury.

The City has adopted Section 701A of the California Building Code to minimize the potential for property destruction due to wildland fires by requiring materials and construction methods that are fire resistant. The Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will not interfere with the implementation of these regulations.

Therefore, with the continued enforcement of existing regulations, impacts due to wildland fires will be less than significant.

3.12.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to hazards and hazardous materials were identified or will occur with the land use changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.12.7 Conclusion
The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map plans for but does not directly propose the construction of new residential, development. Therefore, the proposed changes would not result in greater exposure to hazards and hazardous materials. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning hazards and hazardous materials has been discovered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning hazards and hazardous materials than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no new mitigation is required.

3.13.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.13.A,B& E Existing and future activities in the City, including new development, will not result in significant impacts on local groundwater supplies according to the Urban Water Management Plans for the serving agencies. The goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan will support the long -range planning of the local serving agencies in this regard, both directly or through the use of imported water.

Continued growth is anticipated to occur in the City and surrounding areas and all new development will be required to minimize its individual impacts to water quality and pollutant transport through implementation of BMPs. The 2017 General Plan requires all new development to mitigate project-specific impacts to water quality, resulting in a less than significant cumulative impact to drainage and water quality.

3.13.C&D As future development occurs, some local drainages and existing drainage patterns may be altered and exceed capacity of designed storm drain systems, or result in

3.13 Hydrology and Water Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 60 water pollution. Implementing the goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan will help protect local drainages and preserve water quality.

Dam Inundation Impacts: The City is adjacent to the Santa Ana River but is not located within an identified or mapped dam inundation area after construction of the Seven Oaks Dam upstream of the City. Future development under the 2017 General Plan will not have any significant impacts related to inundation by dam failure.

Seismic-R elated Impacts: Like all of Southern California, the City would be subject to moderate to severe ground shaking in the event of a major seismic event. The City is not at risk of inundation by a tsunami as it is located approximately 33 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. The City also does not contain any major enclosed bodies of water and therefore, is not subject to a seiche during a seismic event (although there are some smaller reservoir tanks present). The northern and east-central portions of the City (Jurupa Hills) contain some steep slopes and rock outcrops that could potentially become unstable during a seismic event. The goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan identifies procedures for new development to follow to help ensure potential risks from such hazards will not be significant. 100-Y
ear Flooding -Related Impacts: The City contains a number of flood zones identified by FEMA and Riverside County. As growth occurs, some areas of future development may be subject to flooding -related impacts. The 2017 General Plan contains goals, policies, and programs which will help assure existing and future land uses are not subject to significant 100-year flooding impacts.

3.13.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
There are no unavoidable adverse impacts.

This measure may also be applied to institutional uses on a discretionary basis depending on the amount of parking area required.

3.13.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.13 (a & e) Violate Water Quality Standards
Buildout of the proposed sites in accordance with the a mendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I- 15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would generate pollutants during the construction and operation of individual projects.

Construction Impacts
Construction of the future p rojects would involve clearing, grading, paving, utility installation, building construction, and the installation of landscaping, which would result in the generation of potential water quality pollutants such as silt, debris, chemicals, paints, and other solvents with the potential to adversely affect water quality. As such, short -term water quality impacts have the potential to occur during construction activities in the absence of any protective or avoidance measures.

Future development will require that Projects obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit for construction activities. The permit is required for all Projects that include construction activities, such as clearing, grading, and/or excavation that disturb at least one acre of total land area.

Compliance with the permit requires the preparation and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will identify construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented to prevent soil erosion and the discharge of sediment into the local storm drains during the project’s construction phase. Typical BMPs measures include, but are not limited to, p reserving natural vegetation, stabilizing exposed soils, use of sandbags, and installation of temporary silt fencing.

New construction and development of land uses designated in the proposed General Plan would require projects to plan BMPs for four general phases of construction: (1) grading and land development (e.g., mass grade and rough grade), (2) utility and road ins tallation, (3) vertical construction, and (4) final stabilization and landscaping. Therefore, BMP implementation for new construction can be evaluated in this general context. Site-specific details on individual BMPs would be dependent on the scope and breadth of each future project, which are not known at this time.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.13 Hydrology and Water Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 63 Operational Impacts
Storm water pollutants commonly associated with the type of land uses that could occupy the proposed structures include sediments, nutrients, trash and debris, bacteria and viruses, oil and grease, and pesticides . Pursuant to the requirements of the Municipal Code 4, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is required for managing the quality of storm water or urban runoff that flows from a developed site after construction is completed and the facilities or structures are occupied and/or operational.

Since the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, do not include a specific development plan, project -specific WQMPs cannot be developed at this time. Future project-specific WQMPs would be prepared at the time of project application. Moreover, LID and water quality treatment solutions prescribed in project - specific WQMPs would be designed to support or enhance the regio nal BMPs and efforts implemented by the City. Surface water quality impacts would be less than significant.

3.13 (b) Groundwater Supplies
Jurupa Valley does not rely on imported water to provide its domestic needs but rather uses local groundwater from the Santa Ana River Basin. Three agencies provide potable water to the City of Jurupa Valley. They are the Jurupa Community Services District (JUSD), the Rubidoux Community Services District (RCSD), and the Santa Ana River Water Company (SARWC).

Ground Water Supply Discussion

Jurupa Community Service District (JCSD): A large portion of the City is within the service area of the Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) which owns, operates, and maintains its own water system. Water supplied within the JCSD service area is entirely from groundwater production. The largest source of groundwater within JCSD’s service area is the Chino Groundwater Basin, which supplies all of the District’s potable wells. A small portion of JCSD’s service area overlies the Riverside Groundwater Basin.

The Chino Basin is designated as a High Priority Basin under CASGEM. The Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Bernardino adjudicated the Chino Groundwater Basin on January 27, 1978. The principal function of the adjudication is to control the use of the water source in order to ensure the source is utilized in an optimum manner. Operation of the basin is governed by the Judgment and agreement among producers, whereby producers are allotted a “Base Water Right” to a certain amount of the operating “Safe Yield” of the basin. According to the Judgment, participating entities including JCSD, can pump in excess of their allotted “Base Water Right” but must pay a replenishment assessment to the Watermaster to cover the cost to replenish any overdraft caused by the excess pumping. The provisions of the Judgment and the monitoring of the

4 Ibid.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.13 Hydrology and Water Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 64 basin are carried out by the court - appointed Chino Basin Watermaster. The Watermaster files an annual report to the court that addresses pumping and replenishment.

According to the JCSD 2020 UWMP, the District can meet the demands of normal, single dry, and multiple dry years with excess supplies until the year 2040.

Rubidoux Community Service District (RCSD): The RCSD serves the northeastern portion of City located around SR -60 at Rubidoux Boulevard serving more than 3,000 water service connections and more than 3,000 acre -feet of water per year and therefore meets the definition of an “urban water supplier”.

RCSD obtains all of its water supply from the local groundwater basin. This basin is identified as the “Riverside South Basin” and has been historically stable and sufficient to meet the needs of the District. Recorded groundwater levels show the basin is resilient to short -term and long -term drought conditions. The water quality in the basin however is impacted and requires treatment prior to distribution unless it is used for irrigation from a non-potable well. RCSD is currently adding additional treatment systems to meet current state notification limits for a new group of emerging contaminants called PFAS. With these additional treatment systems, the District will continue meeting state and federal limits to provide safe drinking water to all residents.

The Riverside Basin is adjudicated by two Judgments; first, the Judgment in Case No. 117628, Orange County Water District vs. City of Chino, et al., entered April 17, 1969 (“Orange County Judgment”). Second, the pumping rights to the San Bernardino, Colton and Riverside Groundwater Basins are set forth in the Judgment in Case No. 78426 -County of Riverside, Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County et al., v. East San Bernardino County Water District et al., entered April 17, 1969 (“Western-San Bernardino Judgment”). The Judgment does not specify the volume of water in the Riverside Basin that the District can extract or is limited to.

By 2025, the District plans to finalize agreements with Western to purchase imported potable water supplies (i.e., State Water Project water supplied to Western by Metropolitan) that would then be wheeled through City of Riverside’s distribution system (pe nding final agreements). Connection to the District would be via the forthcoming Mission Avenue Bridge Project. The County of Riverside Transportation Department is undertaking the Mission Avenue Bridge Project in cooperation with the Cities of Riverside a nd Jurupa Valley to replace the existing Mission Boulevard Bridge over the Santa Ana River by 2025 and expand it to approximately 88 feet wide and 1,100 feet long and include space for additional pipelines. The purpose of the District’s RPU Connection Proj ect is to blend imported water that has lower TDS concentrations with the District’s water that has higher TDS concentrations so that the District’s wastewater delivered to RWQCP meets the TDS threshold concentration of 650 mg/L. Anticipated demand for imported water is approximately 1,200 AFY to 2,000 AFY at buildout. Because Western has characterized imported water supplies from Metropolitan to be reliable in normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years (WMWD(a)), this supply is assumed to be available to RCSD in normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.13 Hydrology and Water Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 65 According to the RCSD 2015 UWMP, RCSD anticipates having adequate water supplies to meet future demands during normal, single -dry, and multiple -dry years through the 20 -year planning period.

Santa Ana River Water Company (SARWC): The SARWC is a mutual water company that serves portions of "Old Mira Loma" which is now in the City of Jurupa Valley. This water company does not have enough connections to qualify as a retail water supplier (i.e., serving more than 3,000 water service co nnections and more than 3,000 acre -feet of water per year). It does not meet the definition of an “urban water supplier” so it has not prepared an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP).

3.13 (c) Alter Drainage Patterns & Create or Contribute to Runoff Water; Housing in 100-Year Flood Hazard Area; Levee or Dam Failure
Alter Drainage Patterns & Create or Contribute to Runoff Water The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will not directly change drainage patterns in the Project Area because no land altering activities are authorized by the a mendments. Future development within the Project Area is likely to change drainage patterns that could have the potential to result in on- or off-site erosion, siltation, or flooding.

A portion of the Project Area is vaca nt with limited drainage infrastructure in place. Vacant land within the Project Area contributes to localized drainage conditions, however, development of these lands will not result in the major alteration of any streams or drainage courses because of the existing drainage infrastructure.

Policies CS 1.1.9 and CS 1.1.11 address impacts on local drainages by requiring the review of new construction and substantial improvements that could affect these drainages or overall runoff patterns in general. In addition, Policy CS 1.1.12 requires that flood control improvements must be in place to protect not only existing development but future development in the City.

Implementation of these flood-related goals, policies, and programs, the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Com munity Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will adequately address potential flooding issues within the City.

Adherence to Construction General Permit requirements to reduce runoff and protect channels and Jurupa Valley standards regulating erosion, and sedimentation impacts would reduce impacts as development occurs in the Project Area. Development of storm drainage facilities is subject to the standard designs of the City’s Engineering Division. Implementation of these standards ensures that drainage facilities are designed to effectively transport storm water and thereby minimize on -site and off -site flooding du e to development associated with changes in drainage patterns. Impacts related to drainage and on- or off-site flooding and sedimentation will be less than significant.

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.13 Hydrology and Water Quality
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 66 Housing in 100-Year Flood Hazard Area
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) identify areas subject to flooding during the 100 -year flood. The one percent annual, or 100 -year flood, is the flood that has a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The GP and GP FEIR identified flood zones in the City, including areas within the 100 -year flood zone adjacent to the Santa Ana River and in the western portions of the City. Future development in the City in these flood zones could be significantly impacted by flooding, especially during a 100 -year event.

Since completion of the Seven Oaks Dam, the City is no longer subject to catastrophic flooding along the Santa Ana River.

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, does include land use changes that would place structures in areas designated in a flood hazard zone. Impacts will be less than significant with implementation of existing standards.

Levee or Dam Failure
The City is not located in a currently mapped dam inundation area. The nearest dam to the City is the Prado Dam, located ten miles downstream to the southwest. In 2001, the Army Corps of Engineers completed the Seven Oaks Dam in Mentone to protect the uppe r stretch of the river.

Seven oaks is a “dry” dam that almost exclusively provides flood protection for Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, including Jurupa Valley. Since completion of the Seven Oaks Dam, the lower portion of the Santa Ana Rive r has not experienced severe flooding and is not expected to be subject to flooding under expected future conditions.

Due to the presence of the Seven Oaks Dam, future development, residents, or businesses within the City would not subject to risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding as a result of failure of a nearby dam or other water retention facility
.

3.13 (d) Seiche, Tsunami, or Mudflow
The City is not at risk of inundation by a tsunami as it is located approximately 33 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The City is also not located downstream of or near any enclosed body of water and could be subject to a seiche during a seismic event. There are several small reservoirs and water tanks in the City, and residences or businesses immediately down slope may be impacted by seiche events or standing waves within the enclosed water facility if they were to fail during a large seismic event. However, this would likely be an isolated event and it is not considered a substantial risk to public health or safety. Given these factors, impacts associated with seiche events are less than significant.

The Project Areas A, B, E, F, G and H are not located in an area with steep slopes and rock outcrops that could potentially become unstable during a seismic event. The northern and eastern potions of Project Areas C and D are located at the base of the Jurupa Mountains and future development proposed on these sites will be subject to CEQA review. Including site specific geotechnical reports

Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 67 on a project-by-project basis. Impacts associated with landslides, rockfalls, or mudslides and to new development in the future would be less than significant with implementation of the 2017 General Plan Policies, adopted 2017 General Plan EIR Mitigation Measures, and City building codes.

Due to the Project Area’s distance from the Pacific Ocean, no portion of the city is subject to tsunami hazards. There are no open reservoirs or other bodies of water within the Planning Area that could expose development to seiche hazards.

3.13.6 New Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to hydrology and water quality will occur with amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map changes proposed that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.13.7 Conclusion
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, plans for but does not directly propose the construction of new development.

Therefore, the proposed changes would not affect hydrology or water quality. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning hydrology or water quality has b een discovered since 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, implementation of the proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning hydrology or water quality than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no mitigation is required.

3.14.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.14 (a) Physically Divide an Established Community
Division of a neighborhood may occur if the construction of a new freeway, railway, flood control channel, or other infrastructure project is constructed through a community. Redevelopment may also lead to the fracturing of a community, for example, when r esidential units are acquired and cleared for construction of commercial uses and new streets. Impacts associated within the division of an established community include a loss of community identity, disruption or loss of connectivity, and a degradation of the character of the area.

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, will ensure future development is compatible with the current land uses and zoning adjacent to the Project sites . The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoni ng Map, do not include any new transportation routes or facilities outside of existing or previously planned rights of way. No other types of major corridors are proposed that could require removal of existing development within established communities.

No impacts related to the division of established communities will occur.

3.14 (b) Conflict with Land Use Plans, Policies, or Regulations The purpose of the Project is to implement items that must be undertaken within specific timelines to ensure the City remains compliant with State Housing Law. The three follow -up housing implementation items: 1) amendments to the Development Code, 2) amendments to the General Plan Community Safety, Services and Facilities Element; and 3) amendments to the General Plan Land Use Map, and the Zoning Map.

State law requires that when the sites inventory identifies that existing sites and projects would not be adequate to meet the RHNA, that the City identify additional sites to make up the shortfall. In order to do this, the City undertook a comprehensive analysis of the City to determine what areas could be redesignated and/or rezoned to make up the shortfall. The sites proposed for redesignation

3.14 Land Use and Planning
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 74 and rezone were most suitable for housing and included locations that met all or most of the following criteria:

• Vacant or minimal land improvements
• On or near transportation corridors
• Proximity to transit
• Proximity to shopping and food outlets
• Proximity to parks and/or open space
• Predominately outside of rural and equestrian areas
• Minimal exposure to hazards (i.e., very high fire hazard, flood risk)

The Project’s implementation is to ensure future City compliance with Land Use Plans, Policies, and Regulations.

3.14 (c) Conflict with Habitat Conservation Plan
The 2017 General Plan FEIR Section 4 .4, Biological Resources, describes the compatibility and consistency of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, with the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). As concluded in Section 3. 7, Biological Resources, future development that would be accommodated under the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, would not conflict or interfere with the Western Riverside MSHCP.

3.14.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to land use and planning will occur with amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.14.7 Conclusion
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts have related to Land Use and Planning that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

The 2017 General Plan and related implementing actions established goals and policies for future development throughout the Project sites. The proposed amendments to the Development Code,

3.15.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.15.A Mining has occurred in the northern portions of the City in the past, and there are two areas with identified Mineral Resource Zones (MRZ-2) in the City: in the southeastern portion of the City, along the Santa Ana River, and in a small area in the northwest portion of the City, while the rest of the City has unidentified or potential mineral resources (MRZ-2). The areas along the Santa Ana River are considered public/quasi- public and so are not available for mining. Implementation of the 2017 General Plan will not result in the removal of any available significant mineral resources.

3.15.B Implementation of the 2017 General Plan, in conjunction with future development in and around the City, will not result in the loss of any available, identified and significant mineral resource areas, so the General Plan will have a less than significant cumulative impact in this regard.

3.15.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
There are no unavoidable adverse impacts.

3.15.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
There are no 2017 General Plan Policies that would be applicable to the proposed Project.

3.15.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to mineral resources were less than significant and no mitigation measures were identified.

3.15.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.15 (a & b) – Regionally and Locally Significant Mineral Resource Loss A portion of the land along the Santa Ana River in the southeastern portion of the City has been designated as MRZ -2. This area contains undetermined amounts of construction aggregate (i.e., sand and gravel), but is designated for public use associated with the Santa Ana River, and so aggregate deposits are not readily available for mining in this area. In addition, the rest of the City including the Project Area is designated as MRZ-3, which means the significance of any deposits is unknown. Mining would b e an incompatible land use with surrounding land uses. Future development would not result in the loss of identified regional or local mineral resources, conversion of an identified mineral resource use, or conflict with existing mineral resource extraction activities. Therefore, future development in the Project sites vacant and available land would not result in a loss of statewide, regional, or locally important mineral resources. No significant impacts associated with this issue would occur and no mitigation is required.

3.15.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to mineral resources with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.15.7 Conclusion
The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map plan for but do not directly propose the construction of new development.

Therefore, the proposed changes would not affect mineral resources. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning mineral resources has been discovered since the 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, project implementation would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning mineral resources than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no mitigation is required.

3.16.1 Summary of 2917 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.16 A Short-Term Construction Noise Impacts: Construction of future development may result in significant noise impacts if work is adjacent to sensitive receptors. The goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan will help protect sensitive adjacent uses from significant noise impacts during construction, so there will be less than significant impacts in this regard.

Long-T erm Noise Impacts: Future development within the City may result in noise levels along major roadways that result in significant noise impacts in the future as growth occurs. The goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan are intended to reduce these impacts to the greatest degree practical, but it may not reduce them to less than significant levels due to physical limitations of roadways, intersections, or adjacent properties.

Cumulative Noise Impacts: Fu ture noise impacts from local traffic as growth occurs may contribute to regional incremental noise impacts in combination with growth and traffic increases in other nearby communities.

3.16 B Construction of future development may result in significant vibration impacts if work is adjacent to sensitive receptors. The goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan will help protect sensitive adjacent uses from significant vibration impacts during construction, so there will be less than significant impacts in this regard.

3.16 C The Flabob Airport is located in the eastern portion of the City while the Riverside Municipal Airport (RMA) is located south of the eastern portion of the City. Existing and future land uses in the City may be affected by noise from operations at these airports.

However, the goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan require new development or redevelopment of existing uses to consider potential airport -related noise impacts in project design.

3.16 Noise
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 79

3.16.2 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
The 2017 General Plan EIR determined that impacts related to noise were less than significant with implementation of existing and proposed policies, standards, regulations, and implementing programs with the exception of long-term and cumulative noise impacts which would have significant and unavoidable impacts with no feasible mitigation available.

3.16.3 Applicable 2017 General Plan Policies
NE 1.1.1 Land Use/Noise Compatibility. Utilize the Land Use/Noise Compatibility Matrix, Table NE-2, to determine the compatibility of proposed general plan amendments and rezones with existing noise -sensitive land uses and/or noise exposure due to transportation sources.

NE 1.1.2 New Development and Stationary Noise Sources. New development of noise sensitive land uses near existing stationary noise sources may be permitted only where their location or design allow the development to meet the standards of Table NE-1.

NE 1.1.3 New or Modified Stationary Noise Sources. Noise created by new, stationary noise sources, or by existing stationary noise sources that undergo modifications that may increase noise levels, shall be mitigated to not exceed the noise level standards of Table NE-1, for noise-sensitive uses. This policy does not apply to noise levels associated with agricultural operations existing in 2016.

NE 1.1.8 Airport Noise Compatibility. Ensure that new land use development within Airport Influence Areas complies with airport land use noise compatibility criteria contained in the applicable Airport Land Use Compatibility (ALUC) plan for the area.

NE 1.1.9 Acoustic Site Planning and Design. Incorporate acoustic site planning into the design and placement of new development, particularly large scale, mixed -use, or master- planned development, including building orientation, berming, special noise resistant walls, window and door assemblies, and other appropriate measures.

NE 2.1.2 Commercial Truck Deliveries. Require commercial or industrial truck delivery hours be limited to least-sensitive times of the day when adjacent to noise-sensitive land uses, unless there is no feasible alternative or there are overriding transportation benefits, as determined by the Planning Director.

NE 2.1.6 Noise Contours. Check all proposed development projects for possible location within roadway, railroad, and airport noise contours.

NE 2.1.7 Airport Compatibility. Comply with applicable noise mitigation policies contained in the Airport Land Use Compatibility (ALUC) Plans for Flabob Airport, Riverside Municipal Airport, and the LA/Ontario International Airport.

NE 2.1.8 Preferred Noise Mitigation Methods. When approving new development of noise sensitive uses or noise -generating uses, the City will require noise mitigation in the order of preference, as listed below, with “1” being most preferred. For example, when mitigating outdoor noise exposure, providing distance between source and recipient is

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.16 Noise
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 80 preferred to providing berms and walls. Before approving a less desirable approach, the City approval body must make a finding that more desirable approaches are not effective or that it is not practical to use the preferred approaches consistent with other design criteria based on the General Plan.

A. Mitigating Noise Generation

1. Design the site of the noise -producing project so that buildings or other solid structures shield neighboring noise-sensitive uses;

2. Limit the operating times of noise-producing activities;

3. Provide features, such as walls, with a primary purpose of blocking noise.

B. Mitigating Outdoor Noise Exposure

1. Provide distance between noise source and recipient;

2. Provide distance plus planted earthen berms;

3. Provide distance and planted earthen berms, combined with sound walls;

4. Provide earthen berms combined with sound walls;

5. Provide sound walls only;

6. Integrate buildings and sound walls to create a continuous noise barrier.

NE 2.1.9 Noise Walls. Noise mitigation walls (sound walls) should be used only when it is shown that preferred approaches are not effective or that it is not practical to use the preferred approaches consistent with other design criteria based on the General Plan.

Where noise walls are used, they should be designed to enhance community character, protect significant views, discourage graffiti, and help create an attractive pedestrian, residential setting through features such as setbacks, changes in vertical and horizontal alignment, detail and texture, public art, walkways or trails, and landscaping. The height of such walls should be minimized, and where sound attenuation requires that a buffer that exceeds ten feet in height, the sound buffer should consist of a combination of berms and a wall, or two or more retaining walls stepped back to allow intervening landscaping.

NE 3.1.1 Noise Analysis. Require that a noise analysis be conducted by an acoustical specialist for all proposed development projects that have the potential to generate significant noise near a noise-sensitive land use, or on or near land designated for noise-sensitive land uses, and ensure that recommended mitigation measures are implemented.

NE 3.1.2 Truck Loading, Shipping, and Parking. Require that the loading, shipping or parking facilities of commercial and industrial land uses, which abut residential parcels, be located and designed to minimize potential noise impacts upon residents. Overnight Commercial Truck parking areas shall be regulated in the Zoning Ordinance as a commercial use.

NE 3.1.3 Noise Buffers. Require major stationary noise -generating sources to install noise buffering or reduction mechanisms within their facilities to reduce noise generation

3.0 Environmental Checklist

3.16 Noise
Jurupa Valley HEU Implementation Project– February 2023 (Revised January 2024) Page | 81 levels to the lowest level practical as a condition of the approval or renewal of project entitlements.

NE 3.1.4 Construction Equipment. Require that all construction equipment utilize noise reduction features (i.e., mufflers and engine shrouds) that are at least as effective as those originally installed by the manufacturer.

NE 3.1.5 Construction Noise. Limit commercial construction activities near residential uses to weekdays, between 7:00 am and 6:00 p.m., and limit high -noise generating construction activities (e.g., grading, demolition, pile driving) near sensitive receptors to weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

NE 4.1.2 Vibration Producing Land Uses. Avoid the placement of vibration -producing land uses near sensitive receptors.

NE 4.1.3 Truck Idling. Restrict truck idling near sensitive vibration receptors.

3.16.4 Applicable 2017 General Plan Final EIR Mitigation Measures The 2017 General Plan FEIR concluded that e xcluding noise generated from long -term noise and cumulative noise impacts , potentially significant noise impacts will be avoided through implementation of existing General Plan policies, and the Municipal Code. No feasible mitigation is available to reduce long-term and cumulative noise impacts.

3.16.5 Proposed Project Impact Analysis

3.16 (a) Noise Exposure in Excess of Established Standards; Temporary Increase in Ambient Noise Levels
Ambient Noise
Future development within the Project A reas would have the potential to increase ambient noise levels. The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not authorize any construction or other land-altering activity that could result in construction-related noise. Potential noise and increases in ambient levels due to future development and operational activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site-specific noise studies and the recommended design and mitigation measures as required. This will occur in the project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate potentially significant noise impacts of the Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map.

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not authorize any construction or other land-altering activity that could result in increasing traffic noise levels. Potential noise due to future construction and operational activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site-specific noise studies and the recommended design and mitigation measures as required. This will occur in the project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate po tentially significant vibration impacts of future development under the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map.

3.16 (b) Exposure or Generation of Excessive Ground borne Vibration Future development under the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, could generate substantial noise and vibration near construction sites, and if sensitive receptors or land uses are adjacent to these sites, significant impacts could occur from noise or vibration. Construction activities can produce vibration that may be felt by adjacent land uses. As long as construction of a particular development did not require the use of equipment, such as pile drivers, known to generate substantial construction vibration levels, the primary source of vibration during construction would likely be from bulldozer operation.

A small bulldozer has a vibration impact of 0.003 inches per second peak particle velocity (PPV) at 25 feet and 0.035 inches per second PPV is considered barely perceptive. It is possible that future development could result in significant vibration impacts if large construction proj ects are located adjacent to residential or other sensitive uses.

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing action do not authorize any construction or other land-altering activity that could result in construction- related vibration. Potential vibration due to future construction activities would be assessed in conjunction with the City’s routine review of site - specific noise studies and the recom mended design and mitigation measures as required. This will occur in the project planning process, prior to project approval, for projects subject to review under CEQA, and this will provide an adequate mechanism to require special measures to mitigate potentially significant vibration impacts of future development under the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I-15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map.

3.16 (c) Exposure to Excessive Public & Private Airport Noise Levels Safety zones of two public airports, Riverside Municipal Airport (RMA) and the Flabob Airport, overlap portions of the City of Jurupa Valley. The Flabob Airport is located in the eastern portion of

The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, and implementing actions do not authorize any new development within the airport influence area . At the time development or redevelopment projects are proposed, the project-level CEQA document would need to identify impacts would not result in the direct exposure of airport noise to residents.

3.16.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to noise will occur with the land use and zoning map changes that would lead to more significant impacts than previously identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.16.7 Conclusion
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the 2017 General Plan FEIR, implementation of the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes would not substantially increase the severity of significant noise and ground-borne vibration impacts previously identified, nor would new significant impacts related to noise that were not identified in the 2017 General Plan FEIR.

3.17.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.17.A Consistent with General Plan Growth Policies: The 2017 General Plan is consistent with the growth assumptions and projections of regional planning agencies (SCAG, WRCOG), and will improve the jobs/housing balance in the City as growth occurs, so it will not have any significant impacts relative to regional growth policies.

Population Growth: F
uture development would add up to 49,275 new residents to the City as growth occurs over the next 20 years, and this level of growth is consistent with that projected by SCAG for the region over the same period. Therefore the 2017 General Plan will not have significant impacts regarding population growth.

Cumulative Population and Housing Impacts: F
uture growth of housing, population,
and employment in the City is expected to be consistent with that anticipated by SCAG in its regional planning documents, and the jobs/housing balance in this area is expected to improve for this housing rich area. Therefore, the City will not make a significant contribution to cumulatively considerable regional housing or population impacts in the coming years.

3.17.B Future development will add up to 13,140 new residential units and up to 49,275 additional residents to the City over the next 20 years. Development will occur primarily on vacant land or underutilized properties, so the 2017 General Plan will not result in substantial displacement of existing housing or residents is expected in the future as growth occurs. This will result in less than significant impacts in this regard.

The Project sites are located in a developed area of the City and is served by existing water and sewer facilities, gas and electric utilities, and improved roadways. No additional infrastructure will be needed to serve the Project other than connection to infrastructure adjacent to the site.

The proposed Amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, do not plan for or propose the construction of new residential development and is for future commercial development which will not have a significant impact on population growth.

3.17 (b) Displace Existing Housing or Substantial Numbers of People The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, propose to change the land use designations and/or zoning to residential and/or higher residential density on approximately 70.84 acres of primarily vacant land.

Displacement, in the context of housing, can generally be defined as persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence. The change in land use designation would not remove land designated or zoned for residential uses and does not force existing residents from their homes.

As a programmatic document, the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, do not propose any specific development. In addition, the proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, do not propose any polic ies that are intended to or would indirectly result in displacement or demolition of any permanent or temporary residential structures. As such, there is no forced or obliged removal of persons, and therefore no displacement. Implementation of the proposed amendments upon development would increase the number of dwelling units available within the City rather than displace housing and occupants. Impacts will be less than significant.

3.17.6 New or Additional Mitigation Measures
No substantial changes in the environment related to population and housing resources with the amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, changes that would lead to more significant impacts and no new mitigation measures are required.

3.17.7 Conclusion
The proposed amendments to the Development Code, General Plan Community Safety, Services, and Facilities Element, and General Plan Land Use Map, I -15 Corridor Specific Plan Land Use Map, and Zoning Map, do not propose the demolition or construction of new residential development(s).

The proposed changes would not substantially affect population or housing growth. In addition, no new information of substantial importance concerning population and housing has been discovered since 2017 General Plan FEIR certification. Thus, Project implementation would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts concerning population and housing than anticipated in the 2017 General Plan FEIR, and no mitigation is required.

3.18.1 Summary of the 2017 General Plan EIR Conclusions

3.18.Ai Future development under the 2017 General Plan would be required to be designed, constructed, and operated per applicable fire prevention/protection standards established by the City. Also, all new development would be required to pay DIFs to the City, so there will be no significant impacts related to fire protection from implementation of the 2017 General Plan.

3.18.Aii New development will increase property tax and DIF revenues to the City which will help fund expanded police services in the future. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts related to police protection from implementation of the 2017 General Plan.

3.18.Aiii New development will generate additional students at all grade levels that will need to be housed and served by local school districts. New development will pay school impact fees, and the goals, policies, and programs of the 2017 General Plan support coordination with the local school districts to assure adequate facilities for future students. Therefore, the 2017 General Plan will have less than significant impacts on schools.
