the process (i.e. pay the annexation fee or use the alternative identified at the time of the special financing district formation) to provide an ongoing funding source for the construction and maintenance of major infrastructure improvements, which may include but is not limited to thoroughfares, bridges, and certain flood control improvements. This condition will be applicable provided said district is under development at the time this project applies for the 1st Building Permit. This condition must be fully satisfied prior to issuance of the 1st Certificate of Occupancy. This condition will be satisfied with the successful annexation/formation (i.e. special election process) into a special financing district and payment of all costs associated with the special election process.

Annexation into a special financing district requires an annual payment of the annual special tax, assessment, or fee levied against the property tax bill, or other lawful means, of the parcels of the project for such district. At the time of the public hearing to consider annexation into or formation of the district, the qualified elector(s) will not protest the annexation or formation, but will retain the right to object to any eventual tax/assessment/fee that is not equitable should the financial burden of the tax/assessment/fee not be reasonably proportionate to the benefit the affected property receives from the improvements to be installed and/or maintained or services provided. The special election requires a minimum 90-day process in compliance with the provisions of Article 13C of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, or other applicable legislation, and consistent with the scheduling for City Council meetings.
An alternative to satisfying this funding source will be identified at such time as a special financing district has been established. At the time of development, the developer must contact Special Districts Administration at 951.413.3470 or at [email protected] to determine if this condition is applicable. 153. Public Safety Funding. Prior to applying for the 1st Building Permit, the qualified elector (e.g. property owner) must initiate the process (i.e. pay the annexation fee or use the alternative identified at the time of the special financing district formation ) to provide an ongoing funding source for Public Safety services, which may include but is not limited to Police, Fire Protection, Paramedic Services, Park Rangers, and 27 of 31

This Notice of Intent (NOI) has been prepared to notify agencies and interested parties that the City of Moreno Valley as the Lead Agency has prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the project as described below.

restaurant (2,310 square feet), and PEN03-0112 for a fuel station with a convenience store with beer, wine, and spirits sales.
The City’s Municipal Code allows for auto service station s and restaurants with drive - throughs within the Downtown Center (DC) District, subject to the approval of a CUP.
A CUP allows the City to impose special development requirements to ensure that certain uses will not be detrimental to the Proposed Project’s surrounding properties. A CUP also allows the City to ensure that conditionally permitted uses are compatible with existing land uses.
The following summarizes the Project’s design elements that are intended to minimize impacts on the residential districts to the east and south:
A. Perimeter landscape parkways, fences, and screening tree rows along the site’s property lines.
B. A six-foot decorative block wall along the east property line.
The Proposed Project as designed and conditioned satisfies all re quirements of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.
Site and Surrounding Area
The Project Site is relatively flat vacant land located on the northeast corner of Cactus Avenue and Nason Street within the Downtown Center (DC) District. The property directly to the north of the Project Site is also vacant within the Downtown Center (DC) District. Existing single-family homes are located directly east and south with a zoning of Residential Agricultural 2 (RA2) District. Directly west is a medical building and a vacant lot adjacent to the Riverside University Health System Medical Center , also within the Downtown Center (DC) District.
Access/Parking
Proposed Project access is from three (3) new driveways: two (2) on Cactus Avenue and one (1) on Nason Street. Driveways are right-in and right-out except for one (1) full- access driveway on Cactus Avenue. The north driveway on Nason Street is currently signalized and will allow for inbound movements only per the project design.
The Project, as designed, will incorporate reciprocal access and parking. The Proposed Project includes a total of 442 parking spaces, consistent with Municipal Code requirements.
Design/Landscaping
The Proposed Project includes four (4) approximately 28-foot tall one-story commercial buildings, one (1) approximately 47-foot tall, 3-story commercial/office building, and two (2) approximately 35-foot tall 2 -story medical/office buildings.

The Proposed Project, as designed, conforms to all development standards of the Downtown Center (DC) District and the design guidelines for commercial developments prescribed in the City’s Municipal Code and City Landscape Standards.
The landscape el ements of the Proposed Project will include the landscape setback along Nason Street and Cactus Avenue to include street trees and shrubs, with on -site trees and shrubs in the internal site and parking lot landscape areas designed per the Landscape Requirements.
REVIEW PROCESS
As part of the standard review process, all appropriate outside agencies have considered the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project was reviewed by the Project Review Staff Committee as required by the Municipal Code. Following subse quent revisions and reviews by staff, the Proposed Project was deemed complete.
ENVIRONMENTAL
An Initial Study was prepared by ECORP Consulting Services, Inc. in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and its guidelines. The Initia l Study examined the potential impacts of the Proposed Project on the environment. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) serves as the appropriate CEQA documentation for the Proposed Project. With the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, the Proposed Project will have a less than significant effect on the environment. Technical studies prepared in support of the IS/MND include the following:
Air Quality Impact Analysis, Biological Resources Assessment, Cultural Resource Report, Noise Impact Assessment, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and a Traffic Report Addendum. Copies of the appendices to the IS/MND can be accessed from the link attached to this staff report. The documents can be reviewed at City Hall during operating hours.
Mitigation measures are recommended for the Proposed Project in the following areas:
Biological Resources, Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, and Transportation, all of which are incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The measures for cultural resources have been included to address input from the Tribal governments. The measures are intended to ensure that potential resources that might be discovered are protected. However, the se measures are not required to address a known significant impact. Based on the Initial Study and with the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, the Proposed Project will not cause any significant impacts to the environment.
The public comme nt period for the Notice of Availability of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration began on June 1 4, 2023, and ended on July 5, 2023, (State Clearing House Number 2023050246) which satisfies the required 20-day review period F.2.o
