His expertise focuses on the fate and transport of environmental contaminants, human health risk, exposure assessment, and ecological restoration. Dr.
Rosenfeld has evaluated and modeled emissions from unconventional oil drilling operations, oil spills, landfills, boilers and incinerators, process stacks, storage tanks, confined animal feeding operations, and many other industrial and agricultural sources. His project experience ranges from monitoring and modeling of pollution sources to evaluating impacts of pollution on workers at industrial facilities and residents in surrounding communities.
Dr. Rosenfeld has investigated and designed remediation programs and risk assessments for contaminated sites containing lead, heavy metals, mold, bacteria, particulate matter, petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, radioactive waste, dioxins and furans, semi- and volatile organic compounds, PCBs, PAHs, perchlorate, asbestos, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFOA/PFOS), unusual polymers, fuel oxygenates (MTBE), among other pollutants. Dr. Rosenfeld also has experience evaluating greenhouse gas emissions from various projects and is an expert on the assessment of odors from industrial and agricultural sites, as well as the evaluation of odor nuisance impacts and technologies for abatement of odorous emissions. As a principal scientist at SWAPE, Dr. Rosenfeld directs air dispersion modeling and exposure assessments. He has served as an expert witness and testified about pollution sources causing nuisance and/or personal injury at dozens of sites and has testified as an expert witness on more than ten cases involving exposure to air contaminants from industrial sources.

RESPONSES TO COMMENT LETTER G:
Mitchell M. Tsai Law Firm (on behalf of Western States Regional Council of Carpenters) G-1 This comment summarizes the proposed Project description and introduces the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters (Western Carpenters) and notes that members of the Western Carpenters live, work and recreate in the City and surrounding communities. The comment states that the commenter reserves the right to supplement these comments at or before hearings on the Project, and requests notification of all future notices issued under CEQA regarding the Project. The commenter has been added to the Ci ty’s list for future public notices regarding the proposed Project as requested.
This comment also incorrectly identifies that there was a prior Mitigated Negative Declaration and Environmental Impact Report for the Project. There has been no prior Project -specific analysis conducted for the proposed TCMV Specific Plan.
This comment does not raise any specific issues or questions on the environmental analysis provided in the Draft EIR.
G-2 This comment requests the City require the Project to utilize local workers meeting certain apprenticeship requirements to build the proposed development. This comment asserts that local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements can provide commu nity benefits, improve the jobs -housing balance, help reduce environmental impacts associated with worker/vendor trips and vehicular emissions, and provide local economic benefits (i.e., short- term construction jobs for local workers). The comment also discusses that other jurisdictions have tied local hire and other workforce policies to local development permits to address transportation issues (e.g., City of Berkeley). The comment also refers to an attachment to the comment letter identified as Exhib it A, which is a March 8, 2021, SWAPE letter to Mitchell M. Tsai re. Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling. Refer to response to comment G-21, which addresses the attachments to the comment letter.
The Draft EIR includes analyses regarding the Project’s impact on GHG emissions, air quality, and transportation. Regarding transportation impacts, the Draft EIR determined that transportation impacts, including VMT impacts, would be less than significant. Further, as discussed in Draft EIR Section 4.14, Population and Housing, it is anticipated that general construction labor would be available from the local and regional labor pool as suggested by the comment. As discussed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15126 .4(a)(3), CEQA does not require mitigation measures for effects determined to be less than significant.
The Project’s air quality impacts during construction were analyzed in Draft EIR Section 4.3, and GHG emissions impacts were analyzed in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As discussed, the Project’s construction-related emissions are anticipated to exceed the established South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regional thresholds of significance for volatile organic compounds (VOC) primarily due to emissions associated with architectural coatings (not vehicular trips). The total amount of Project -related GHG emissions from direct and indirect sources combined would exceed the SCAQMD recommended interim screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO 2e per year, which is used for Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
purposes of the Draft EIR analysis. However, as with air quality, these emissions are not due to vehicular trips during construction but are primarily associated with operations; construction emissions are estimated to be 147.43 MTCO2e per year, which would be less than significant.
As discussed in the Draft EIR, the Project would be required to implement air quality and GHG mitigation measures to reduce emissions, including during construction activities. In addition, the Project is in proximity to transit facilities, including site adjacent bus stops that would facilitate workers using transit to access the Project site during construction.
The Project would not result in construction -related air quality or GHG emissions impacts associated with vehicular trips during construction , as such, the commenter’s suggested mitigation in the form of employing local construction workers would not materially alter Project-related air quality or GHG emissions or change the conclusions in the Draft EIR.
Further, while the Project and the City do not have the ability to regulate vehicle emissions, state and federal regulations will continue to improve engin e efficiency and thus emissions.
California has set a goal of requiring all new vehicles sold in 2035 and beyond to be zero - emission vehicles. Therefore, as vehicle emissions decrease in the future, air quality and GHG impacts associated with the Project would also decrease.
G-3 This comment raises concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for Project- related construction activities to create a public health risk for construction workers. The comment cites materials from 2020 and recommends the City incorporate ad ditional training and other requirements to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases during construction activities. The comment recommends measures related to construction site design, testing procedures, response plans, and worker safety training to reduce COVID-19 risk.
Effects of the environment on a project are not subject to CEQA review (Public Resources Code Sections 21065 and 21068). The effects the existing environment might have on proposed projects are generally not treated as changes in the physical environment u nder CEQA (California Bldg. Indus. Assn. v. Bay Area Air Quality Mgmt. Dist., 62 Cal. 4th 369, 378 (2015).
CEQA does not require analysis of impacts that existing environmental conditions might have on a project, its residents, or its users, except when re quired by specific statutory exception .
Therefore, the City does not have to analyze the impact of COVID -19, an existing condition, on the Project. Moreover, in the absence of any applicable methodology, such an analysis would be speculative.
Nonetheless, the City recognizes the unprecedented nature of COVID -19 and the potential public health impacts associated with it. It is acknowledged that the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, terminated the State’s COVID -19 State of Emergency on March 1, 2023.
However, any projects being constructed during a period of time in which emergency measures or orders are in place would be required to adhere to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) workplace guidelines for construction workers. Adherence to these measures would ensure that potential health impacts during the period of time in which emergency measures or orders are in place would be minimized during construction.
Furthermore, any projects being developed are required to adhere to the applicable City of Moreno Valley and County of Riverside workplace guidelines at the time of groundbreaking.
No revisions to the Draft EIR analysis are required.

G-4 This comment suggests that the City should enter into a Development Agreement with the Project Applicant to secure additional community benefits (including local hire and apprenticeship requirements) and additional environmental mitigation. California Planning and Zoning Law and specifically, Government Code section 65864 et seq. governs the authority and contents of development agreements . While the City has the authority to enter into a Development Agreement, and a project applicant has the option to request one, a Development Agreement is voluntary. A Development Agreement is not required for the Project .
Development pursuant to the TCMV Specific Plan would result in a mixed-use community with up to 800 dwelling units, commercial, civic, and open space uses as envisioned by the City. As such, consistent with the commenter’s suggestion, the Project already includes substantial community benefits. Further, with regard to environmental mitigation, the Draft EIR identifies and includes mitigation measures to address the Project’s potential environmental impacts, consistent with the requirements of CEQA. These mitigation measures are set forth in the MMRP (refer to Section 4.0 of this document ). No revisions to the Draft EIR analysis are required.
G-5 This comment discusses general information regarding CEQA and the commenter’s understanding regarding preparation of EIRs including when an EIR should be prepared, and CEQA’s requirements for environmental analysis and reducing environmental impacts.
Several court cases are cited. The comment also describes the commenter’s understanding of the standard of review that courts apply to determine the sufficiency of an EIR. The comment states that an EIR must include sufficient information so that foreseeable impacts can be understood and the public can comment on them. The comment also describes its view of the “fair argument” standard and when it is to be applied.
The comment’s general description of CEQA’s goals and requirements is noted. With respect to when an EIR should be prepared, an EIR has been prepared for the Project that is compliant with CEQA. With respect to the description of the standard of review ap plicable to a court’s review of the sufficiency of an EIR, the City notes that an EIR’s adequacy with respect to, for example, methodology, baseline conditions, scope of environmental impact analysis, and adequacy of mitigation measures is reviewed under the substantial evidence standard. Vineyard Area Citizens for Responsible Growth v. City of Rancho Cordova (2007) 40 Cal.4th 412, 435; Mission Bay All. v. Office of Cmty. Inv. & Infrastructure (2016) 6 Cal.App.5th 160, 192, 206; CEQA Guidelines §15384(a). Disagreements among experts do not invalidate an EIR, and the lead agency may adopt the environmental conclusions reached by the experts that prepared the EIR, even though others may disagree with the underlying data, analysis, or conclusions.
Laurel Heights Improvement Assn. v. Regents of Univ. of California (1988) 47 Cal.3d 376, 407-08. “To the extent factual questions (such as the agency's decision which methodologies to employ for analyzing an environmental effect) predominate, a substantial evidence standard of review will apply.” South of Market Community Action Network v. City and County of San Francisco (2019) 33 Cal.App.5th 321, 330-331. Only with respect to questions about whether the agency complied with the legal requirements of CEQA is the agency ’s action reviewed under a less deferential standard to determine whether the agency failed to proceed in a manner required by law.

No comment was made specific to the Project, or the adequacy and completeness of the Draft EIR.
G-6 This comment refers to the CEQA Guidelines regarding the standard for recirculation and expresses the commenter’s opinion that recirculation of the Draft EIR is required. As presented in the responses to comments above and below, the findings and conclusions of the Draft EIR are not affected by any of the comments contained herein. Therefore, there are no changes or revisions to the Draft EIR that would require recirculation of the Draft EIR. Specific comments provided by the commenter regarding the Draft EIR are provided and responded to below. The Draft EIR is comprehensive, and none of the circumstances requiring recirculation of a Draft EIR set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 have been met.
G-7 The comment makes various general statements regarding an EIR’s analysis of potentially significant impacts and requirements to eliminate or lessen the impacts and cites to various legal cases. This comment also suggests that the Draft EIR fails to comply with the identified CEQA requirements based on the subsequent comments provided in the comment letter.
Responses to the referenced comments are provided below (see responses to comment G -8 through G-10 below).
G-8 This comment suggests that while the Draft EIR acknowledges that the Project would have significant impacts on air quality, it “fails to describe with sufficient specificity how the Project would contribute to exceeding those thresholds, and further fails to provide sufficient analysis regarding the sources of those emissions . (DEIR, p. S -10).” This comment is citing the summary section of the Draft EIR, which is not intended to or required to provide the level of detail suggested in this comment. A detailed analysis of the Project’s air quality impacts is appropriately provided in Draft EIR Se ction 4.3, Air Quality, and Draft EIR Technical Appendix B, which is summarized in the Draft EIR section. Draft EIR Section 4.3 clearly identifies the sources of criteria pollutant emissions resulting from the Project’s construction activities and operations. Notably, with respect to the Project’s significant and unavoidable air quality impacts, Draft EIR Section 4.3, Air Quality, identifies operational emissions would be expected from the following primary sources: area source emissions, energy source emissions, and mobile source emissions, as further described in Section 5.4 of the Air Quality Impact Analysis included in Draft EIR Technical Appendix B. The Draft EIR also identifies that t he majority of the Project’s operational emissions are from mobile so urces (passenger car and truck vehicle trips generated by the Project). Draft EIR Section 4.3, Air Quality , further identifies w ith implementation of mitigation measure s MM 4.3 -2 through MM 4.3 -6, the Project’s operational related VOC, NO X, and CO emissions would be reduced, but not to a level below SCAQMD’s regional thresholds for these criteria pollutants. As explained in the Draft EIR, since the majority of the operational emissions are from vehicle trips and neither the Project Applicant nor the City ha ve regulatory authority to control tailpipe emissions, no feasible mitigation measures beyond the measures identified exist that would reduce emissions to levels that are less than significant. Therefore, the Project would result in a significant and unavoidable cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the Project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. No further analysis or information with respect to this issue is required.

G-9 This comment incorrectly asserts that : the Draft EIR only cursorily evaluates the Project’s potential GHG emissions impacts; the Draft EIR does not provide a comprehensive analysis of the Project’s potential GHG emissions; and the Draft EIR does not provide a thorough breakdown of how the Proj ect GHG emissions were calculated. On the contrary, GHG emissions were comprehensively evaluated in the Draft EIR consistent with the requirements of CEQA.
When noting the Draft EIR conclusions, the commenter refers only to the Draft EIR Executive Summary and neglects to cite extensive detailed discussion of Project GHG emissions presented in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and appended suppo rting technical analysis (Draft EIR Appendix G, Greenhouse Gas Analysis, GHGA).
The commenter cites various CEQA Guidelines sections addressing qualitative and quantitative methodologies for evaluating GHG emissions impacts. The City is aware of CEQA Guidelines GHG qualitative and quantitative analytic methodologies. Relevant CEQA Guidelines direction is specifically acknowledged in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and within the GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G.
The commenter also suggests incorrectly that the “DEIR does not rely on any quantitative analysis” in evaluation of the Project’s compliance with numerical GHG emissions thresholds, and instead “relies on the Project’s purported consistency with various la nd use plans and regulatory schemes.” First, the commenter appears to conflate quantified GHG impact significance criteria and GHG impact policy/plan significance criteria used by the City for this Project. The City has determined that each of the CEQA threshold criteria establish a separate and independent basis upon which to substantiate the significance of the Project’s potential GHG emissions impacts.
Project GHG Emissions in Context of Numeric Thresholds
Quantified Project GHG emissions in context of applicable numerical thresholds is presented in the Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Detailed modeling and quantification of Project GHG emissions in the context of applicable numerical thresholds is presented in the GHGA Section 5.3 (Construction Emissions), GHGA Section 5.4 (Operational Emissions), and GHGA Appendix 5.1 (CalEEMod Annual Emissions Model Outputs). All GHG emissions quantification and analyses have been prepared by accredited pro fessionals with extensive background in CEQA greenhouse gas analyses.
The City of Moreno Valley and the Project site are located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin). The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the CEQA responsible agency for review and assessment of GHG analyses for developments in the Basin.
All Draft EIR GHG analyses comply with accepted methodologies and protocols established by the SCAQMD. In combination, the Draft EIR and GHGA provide detailed quantified Project GHG emissions and present those emissions in context of applicable numer ic thresholds.

Project GHG Emissions in Context of GHG Reduction Plans and Policies
GHG emission reduction plans and policies applicable to the Project and Draft EIR analyses comprise plans and policies articulated in the adopted 2006 City of Moreno Valley General Plan, the previously adopted 2040 General Plan, Connect SoCal 2024, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2022 Scoping Plan. Project consistency with these plans and policies is substantiated in detail in the Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and the GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G. The commenter is r eferred also to correlating discussions presented at Draft EIR Section 4.11 (Land Use and Planning), Draft EIR Section
4.14 (Population and Housing), and Draft EIR Section 4.16 (Transportation).
As such, contrary to the commenter’s assertions, the Draft EIR does not inappropriately rely “on purported consistency with various land use plans and regulatory schemes” in determination of the Project’s GHG impact significance.
This comment also summarizes various CEQA Guidelines sections addressing GHG emissions analyses in context of adopted GHG emissions reduction plans (e.g., Climate Action Plans), and CEQA direction regarding development and implementation of GHG reduction p lans.
Accompanying footnote citations are also provided in the comment (commenter footnotes 10, 11). The comment summarizes features of effective GHG reduction plans, and beneficial aspects of plan implementation. The City is aware of CEQA Guidelines direc tion regarding GHG emissions analyses in context of adopted GHG emissions reduction plans, and CEQA direction regarding development and implementation of GHG reduction plans such as a Climate Action Plan (CAP). As discussed in the Draft EIR Section 4.8, Gr eenhouse Gas Emissions, and the GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G, the City of Moreno Valley is in the process of developing a CAP. At present, there is no adopted City CAP allowing for comparative evaluation of the Project’s GHG emissions. Accordingly, the Draft EIR does not rely on CAP compliance in determination of Project GHG emissions policy/plan consistency.
Because the Draft EIR does not rely on CAP compliance in determination of Project GHG policy/plan impact significance, there is no “analytical gap” as asserted by the commenter. As noted previously, Project consistency with applicable GHG emissions reduction plans and policies is substantiated in detail in the Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and the GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G.
In addition to the general discussion regarding CAPs, the comment also incorrectly infers that the Draft EIR conclusions regarding the Project GHG impact significance are based solely on determination of Project compliance with a GHG reduction plan. The basis for determining the Project’s GHG emissions impact significance is clearly delineated in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As discussed in the Draft EIR, quantified Project GHG emissions exceeding the SCAQMD 3,000 MTCO2e/year numeric thr eshold would be potentially significant. Quantified Project GHG emissions in context of applicable numerical thresholds is summarized in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Detailed modeling and quantification of Project GHG emissions in the c ontext of applicable numerical thresholds is presented in the GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G (GHGA Section 5.3 [Construction Emissions], GHGA Section 5.4 [Operational Emissions], and GHGA Appendix 5.1 [CalEEMod Annual Emissions Model Outputs]). The Draft EIR analysis substantiates that Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
even with application of mitigation, quantified Project GHG emissions would exceed the applicable SCAQMD numeric threshold. Accordingly, as disclosed in the Draft EIR Section
4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, quantified Project GHG emissions impacts would be individually and cumulatively significant and unavoidable.
With regard to Project consistency with applicable GHG reduction plans and policies, relevant plans and policies comprise those presented in the adopted 2006 City of Moreno Valley General Plan, the previously adopted 2040 General Plan, Connect SoCal SoCal 2024, and the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan. Project consistency with GHG reduction plans and policies is substantiated in detail at Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and GHGA included in Draft EIR Appendix G. Accordingly, the Project is determined to be consistent with applicable GHG reduction plans and policies. Impacts in this regard would therefore be individually and cumulatively less than significant. The commenter is referred also to correlating discussions presented at Draft EIR Section 4.11, Land Use and Planning; Draft EIR Section 4.14, Population and Housing; and Draft EIR Section 4.16, Transportation.
In summary, substantial evidence supporting the Draft EIR GHG analysis and conclusions includes:
• Detailed modeling and quantification of GHG emissions in Draft EIR Section 4.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Table 4.8 -3, Amortized Annual Construction Emissions Summary; Table 4.8-4, Project GHG Emissions – Without Mitigation; GHGA Section
5.3, Construction E missions; GHGA Section 5.4, Operational Emissions; GHGA Appendix 5.1, CalEEMod Annual Emissions Model Outputs; and • Discussion presented at Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions; GHGA Section 5, Project Greenhouse Gas Analysis; GHGA Section 6, GHG Emissions Findings and Recommendations; and GHGA Appendix 5.1, CalEEMod Annual Emissions Model Outputs.
Based on analysis and evidence presented in the Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the Lead Agency has appropriately concluded that even with application of mitigation, quantified Project GHG emissions impacts would exceed applicable numeric thresholds. Quantified Project GHG emissions impacts would therefore be individually and cumulatively significant and unavoidable. Based on analysis and evidence presented in the Draft EIR, the Lead Agency has appropriately concluded that the Project would not conflict with an applicable plan adopted for purposes of reducing GHG emissions. Project impacts in this regard would therefore be individually and cumulatively less than significant.
As discussed above, contrary to the commenter’s suggestion, further GHG analysis is not required.
G-10 The comment incorrectly asserts that the Draft EIR does not contain sufficient analysis of Project construction-source and operational-source diesel emissions impacts. With respect to operations, the Project does not propose significant operational sources of diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions or other toxic air contaminants (TACs), such as freeways and high - traffic roads, distribution centers, warehouses, rail yards, ports, refineries, chrome platers, or Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
gasoline stations. Only diesel delivery trucks would be considered a TAC source, of which the mixed-use Project would generate a limited amount that would not result in a health risk at the nearby residential receptors.
With respect to construction- related air quality analysis stemming from diesel trucks and other diesel equipment, a Project -specific Construction Health Risk Assessment (HRA) was prepared, which confirms that the Project would result in a less than significant construction health risk impact and no mitigation would be required. Specifically, the Construction HRA concludes that w ithout mitigation, at the maximally exposed individual receptor (MEIR), maximally exposed individual worker (MEIW) , and maximally exposed individual school child (MEISC) , the maximum incremental cancer risk attributable to Project construction - source DPM emissions would be less than the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) significance threshold of 10 in one million. The non -cancer risks were all calculated to be ≤0.01, which would not exceed the applicable significance threshold of 1.0 .
The HRA is included in Appendix A to this Final EIR. Notwithstanding, Draft EIR MM 4.3-1 requires the use of Tier 4 Final equipment and implementation of MM 4.3-1 would provide the benefit of reducing DPM emissions from construction equipment and would therefore further reduce cancer and non -cancer risk. As identified in the Construction HRA, with implementation of Draft EIR MM 4-3.1, the maximum incremental cancer risk attributable to Project construction-source DPM emissions would be further reduced.
Further, as discussed in the Draft EIR Section 4.3, Air Quality, and Section 4.11, Land Use and Planning, and identified in Draft EIR MM 4.3 -2, Project diesel emissions would be effectively controlled by mandated compliance with existing CARB anti -idling regulations.
Compliance with existing CARB regulations ensures that potential effects of diesel emissions are maintained at levels that would be less than significant.
The comment provides no evidentiary support indicating that Project diesel -source emissions would somehow result in potentially significant impacts. Here, consistent with CEQA direction, the Draft EIR analysis of construction and operational -source emissions focuses on potentially substantial adverse effects of the Project, and not on effects that are clearly insignificant or speculative. By focusing on potentially significant effects, the Draft EIR avoids unnecessary expenditure of time and resources on ef fects that do not warrant detailed study.
This aligns with CEQA’s intent for efficient and effective environmental review.
This comment also summarizes estimated diesel fuel consumption of the Project.
Environmental effects of Project energy consumption, including diesel fuel consumption, are addressed at Draft EIR Section 4.6, Energy, and Draft EIR Appendix E, Energy Analysis. The Draft EIR analysis substantiates that the Project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to provision or consumption of energy. This includes potential effects associated with provision and consumption of diesel fuel.
As discussed above, contrary to the commenter’s suggestion, air quality impacts related to diesel vehicles and equipment are properly disclosed and analyzed, and further analysis is not required.

G-11 The comment makes various statements regarding requirements for the identification of mitigation measures to minimize a Project’s significant environmental effects and cites various provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines as well as legal cases. This comment makes a general statement that the Draft EIR mitigation measures are inadequate based on the subsequent comments provided in the comment letter. Responses to the referenced comments are provided below (see responses to comment G-12 through G-15 below).
G-12 This comment discusses deferred mitigation generally, outlines CEQA requirements relative to mitigation, and suggests that the Draft EIR mitigation measures are improperly deferred for various impact categories. The comment does not identify mitigation measures by number but appears to be referring to Draft EIR Mitigation Measures 4.3-3, 4.4-1, 4.5-1, 4.7-1, and 4.8-1.
The mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR have been developed in accordance with the requirements outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(c), which indicate that the public agency may choose whether its program will monitor mitigation, report on mitigation, or both. “Reporting” generally consists of a written compliance review that is presented to the decision making body or authorized staff person. A report may be required at various stages during project implementation or upon completion of the mitigation measure. “Monitoring” is generally an ongoing or periodic process of project oversight. The choice of program may be guided by the following:
(1) Reporting is suited to projects which have readily measurable or quantitative mitigation measures or which already involve regular review. For example, a report may be required upon issuance of final occupancy to a project whose mitigation measures were confirmed by building inspection.
(2) Monitoring is suited to projects with complex mitigation measures, such as wetlands restoration or archeological protection, which may exceed the expertise of the local agency to oversee, are expected to be implemented over a period of time, or require careful implementation to assure compliance.
(3) Reporting and monitoring are suited to all but the most simple projects. Monitoring ensures that project compliance is checked on a regular basis during and, if necessary after, implementation. Reporting ensures that the approving agency is informed of compliance with mitigation requirements.
As indicated, there are project activities and subsequent (non-discretionary) approvals after a project’s discretionary actions have been approved that are the appropriate time for implementation of mitigation measures (such as during construction or as part of building plan review). Retaining technical experts for monitoring construction activities, protection of resources found during construction activities, ensuring design features are incorporated into building plans, etc. , and demonstrating compliance with identif ied mitigation after project approval is not deferral as suggested by the comment . As required, the Project -specific mitigation monitoring and report ing program (MMRP) included in Section 4.0 of this document clearly identifies the action required for each mitigation measure, the responsible parties for implementing the mitigation measure and monitoring implementation, and when the mitigation measure should be implemented. The City of Moreno Valley is responsible for Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
ensuring compliance with the MMRP after project approval. The MMRP provides for monitoring, implementation, and enforcement of all mitigation measures.
G-13 This comment discusses CEQA requirements regarding mitigation measures generally (including repetition of similar statements in Comment G -11) and asserts without specificity that the Draft EIR fails to consider and deploy all feasible mitigation measu res. Per PRC Sections 21002 and 21002.1(b), CEQA does not require adoption of every imaginable feasible mitigation measure. CEQA’s requirement applies only to feasible mitigation that will “substantially lessen” a project’s significant effects. Further, the comment does not provide any suggestions for additional mitigation. Notwithstanding, as identified in Section 3.0, Draft EIR Clarifications and Revisions , additional mitigation to further reduce the Project’s operational air quality and GHG emission impacts have been identified.
G-14 This comment discusses mitigation measures and project design features generally and incorrectly indicates without specificity that the Draft EIR improperly mischaracterizes mitigation measures as “project design features.” The Project does not identify any Project Design Features (or PDFs) as mitigation measures, and the commenter has not provided any specific example of where this has occurred in the Draft EIR. No revisions to the Draft EIR analysis are required.
G-15 This comment incorrectly indicates that the Project improperly relies on model or optional rules that are not legally enforceable or binding rather than mandatory mitigation measures.
The only example referenced in the comment is mitigation measure MM 4.8-1 in Draft EIR Section 4.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions. MM 4.8-1 is presented below and the text referred to in the comment is presented as bold -faced text for emphasis. Contrary to the commenter’s assertion that this mitigation measure is voluntary, th is mandatory mitigation measure, which is included in the Project’s MMRP (refer to Section 4.0 of this document) is requiring implementation of these measures, which would otherwise be voluntary. The MMRP provides for monitoring, implementation, and enforcement of all mitigation measures.
MM 4.8-1 The project applicant shall design and build future non -residential development to meet/include the following:
• The project will utilize on -site renewable energy sources such as solar, to reduce electrical demand as per Division A5.211, Renewable Energy, of Appendix A5, Nonresidential Voluntary Measures , of the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code.
• The project will incorporate measures to reduce the overall use of potable water within the building by 12% as per Division A5.3, Water Efficiency and Conservation, as outlined under Section A5.303.2.3.1 of Appendix A5, Nonresidential Voluntary Measures, of the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code.
Prior to the issuance of building permits for new development projects within the project site, the project applicant shall provide documentation (e.g., building plans, site plans) to the City of Moreno Valley Planning Division to verify implementation of the applicable design requirements specified in this mitigation Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report

measure. Prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy, the City shall verify implementation of these design requirements.
G-16 This comment includes speculative remarks regarding the Project construction schedule and potential air quality impacts that could result should Project construction timing and sequencing differ from the construction schedule presented in the Draft EI R. This comment also suggests that a time and duration -specific Project construction schedule should be mandated.
To the contrary, as explained in the Draft EIR, Section 3.0, Project Description, the proposed TCMV Specific Plan is designed to provide flexibility for development within the Specific Plan area. The proposed Specific Plan provides the regulatory framework to implement the proposed Project, recognizing that the market demand for the exact type and amount of uses may change. Further, as discussed in the Draft EIR, development pursuant to the proposed TCMV Specific Plan would occur in phases based on market demands. A reasonable potential buildout development scenario and the estimated construction schedule are set forth in the Draft EIR for purposes of analysis. Analysis of air quality impacts presented at Draft EIR Section 4.3, Air Quality, and Draft EIR App endix B, Air Quality Impact Analysis ( AQIA), including impacts based on the assumed Project construction schedule, are based on the best available information and reflect the Project and Project context described in the Draft EIR Section 3.0, Project Descr iption. All AQIA modeling, including impact modeling predicated on the assumed Project construction schedule, has been prepared by accredited professionals in conformance with adopted CalEEMod and SCAQMD protocols and best practices. The City considers the AQIA included in Draft EIR Appendix B, including all air emissions modeling related to Project construction scheduling and construction sequencing, to accurately and adequately reflect potential Project construction-source air quality impacts.
As noted above, the comment is speculative. The commenter offers no evidentiary support indicating that alteration of the Project construction schedule and Project construction sequencing assumed in the Draft EIR and AQIA would somehow result in potentiall y significant impacts, or in any impacts not already considered and addressed in the Draft EIR and AQIA.
Additionally, variables (notably weather and economic factors) beyond the control of the City and Project Applicant can substantially affect construction activities and their scheduling. The City on this basis considers imposition of a time and duration -specific Project construction schedule to be infeasible.
Finally, with regard to the commenter’s concern about delay, the estimated construction schedule represents a conservative analysis scenario should construction occur any time after the respective dates assumed in the analysis since emission factors for co nstruction decrease as time passes and the analysis year increases due to emission regulations becoming more stringent. No revisions to the Draft EIR analysis are required.
G-17 This comment generally discusses CEQA requirements for the cumulative impact analysis, identifies various court cases addressing this issue, and states generally, without specificity, Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
that the Draft EIR fails to adequately evaluate the Projects cumulative impacts. However, no comment was made regarding a specific cumulative impact analysis (i.e., for which topical issue) and no specific cumulative projects that should be considered in the analysis were identified (including completed past projects) . T herefore, a specific response to these comments cannot be provided. A detailed description of the cumulative analysis approach used in the Draft EIR is provided in Section 4.0.2, Scope of Cumulative Effects Analysis. As explained in the Draft EIR, CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(b)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines states that the information utilized in an analysis of cumulative impacts should come from one of two sources, either:
A. A list of past, present, and probable future projects producing related or cumulative impacts, including, if necessary, those projects outside the control of the agency, or B. A summary of projections contained in an adopted local, regional, or Statewide plan, or related planning document, that describes or evaluates conditions contributing to the cumulative effect.
There is no requirement to consider all cumulative projects within a certain distance of a Project, as asserted by the commenter. Cumulative impacts are addressed for each topic analyzed in Section 4.1 through Section 4.19 of the Draft EIR. The analysis em ploys both methods of analysis prescribed by the CEQA Guidelines. Contrary to the commenter’s assertion that the Draft EIR does not analyze related cumulative projects, where appropriate to the analysis in question, cumulative impacts are assessed with reference to a list of cumulative projects. For example, the cumulative impacts analysis provided in Section 4.1, Aesthetics; Section 4. 11, Land Use and Planning; and Section 4. 13, Noise, specifically address the potential for cumulative impacts resulting from the Project in conjunction with adjacent and nearby cumulative projects. A comprehensive cumulative project list was compiled based on information provided by the City of Moreno Valley Planning and Engineering Departments.
Draft EIR Figure 4.0-1, Cumulative Projects Location Map, illustrates the location of identified cumulative development with respect to the Project site. A summary of cumulative development projects and their proposed land uses are provided in Draft EIR Table 4.0-1, List of Cumulative Projects. With respect to completed past projects, these projects are considered in the Draft EIR as part of the existing/baseline condition, as appropriate. No revisions to the Draft EIR analysis are required.
G-18 This comment discusses general plans generally and states that the Project is inconsistent and in conflict with land use plans for the Project site, including the General Plan and Housing Element. The comment asserts that Draft EIR fails to support its consistency finding with substantial evidence as required and further asserts that the Project cannot rely upon approval of its requested changes to conclude that the Project is consistent with the General and Specific Plans. The City has broad discretio n in determining a project’s consistency with its own General Plan, and the courts have repeatedly acknowledged that the body which adopted general plan policies has unique competence to interpret those policies when applying them.

The Draft EIR includes detailed discussions throughout the document about the City’s existing 2006 General Plan, the 2040 General Plan that was previously adopted by the City but set aside Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
in response to a court decision, and the City’s current project to adopt a new General Plan (refer to the discussion provided in Draft EIR Section 3.1, Project Background). As described in Draft EIR Section 3.4.1, General Plan Amendment, the Project does require an amendment to the General Plan due to the current “Public Facilities” land use designation under the 2006 General Plan. However, contrary to the commenter’s assertion, the approval of a General Plan is not the basis for analysis or for the conclusion that the Project would not conflict with the General Plan. As identified in Draft EIR Section 4.11, Land Use and Planning, under the analysis of Threshold “b,” the State’s general rule for a General Plan consistency determination is that “an action, program, or project is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all its aspects, it will further the objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstru ct their attainment.” Therefore, a detailed General Plan policy consistency analysis is pro vided for both the 2006 General Plan, and the City’s previous 2040 General Plan (refer to Draft EIR Table 4.11-1 and Table 4.11-2, respectively), which the City is considering readopting. Additionally, similar General Plan policy consistency analysis is provided in Draft EIR Section 4.1, Aesthetics, and Section 4.16, Transportation, as there are thresholds of significance for these topics related to consistency with General Plan policies related to scenic quality and circulation, respectively.
As presented in the detailed consistency analysis, the Project would not conflict with any applicable General Plan policies identified in the 2006 General Plan or previous 2040 General Plan for the respect ive General Plan elements; therefore, the Project was determined to be consistent with these General Plans.
G-
19 The comment discusses CEQA requirements relative to regulatory compliance and references a number of related court cases, repeating prior general comments . The commenter fails to explain that compliance with relevant regulatory standards can provide a basis for determining that the Project will not have a significant environmental impact. Tracy First v. City of Tracy (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 912; Oakland Heritage Alliance v. City of Oakland (2011) 195 Cal.App.4th 884, 906 (“a condition requiring compliance with regulations is a common and reasonable mitigation measure and may be proper where it is reasonable to expect compliance.”) This comment states generally, without specificity, that the Draft EIR improperly relies on future compliance with regulatory standards to support its findings regarding lack of significant impacts; however, the comment does not provide any specific identification of where this occurs in the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR appropriately analyzes the Project and its potential impacts and considers regulatory compliance where it is proper and reasonable to do so in compliance with CEQA.

20 The comment is conclusory in nature and reflects the commenter’s opinion that recirculation of the Draft EIR is required. As presented in the responses to comments in this document, the Draft EIR adequately analyzed the proposed Project and evaluated and disclosed the potential environmental impacts of the Project, consistent with the requirements of CEQA. The findings and conclusions of the Draft EIR are not affected by any of the comments contained herein, or the revisions to the Draft EIR identified in Section 3.0, Draft EIR Clarifications and Revisions.
None of the circumstances set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 have been met .
Specifically, based on the comments and responses within the Final EIR, no new significant impacts or substantial increases in already identified significant impacts have been identified.
Therefore, recirculation of the Draft EIR is not required.

G-21 The comment consists of three attachments to the comment letter. The first attachment (Exhibit A to the comment letter) is the March 8, 2021, SWAPE letter to Mitchell Tsai regarding local hire requirements and considerations for GHG modeling. The SWAPE letter is more than four years old, and it does not reference this particular Project, its impacts, or mitigation. The City and its consultants have thoroughly reviewed the SWAPE letter. It explains how the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) calculates emissions from construction-related vehicle trips and discusses the relationship between trip length and GHG emissions. It is a generalized discussion, not made applicable to this Project. The SWAPE letter also provides an example of a local hi re requirement for an example project. However, the example is not applicable to this Project in the City of Moreno Valley; therefore, while considered, it is inapplicable and does not raise any specific environmental issue related to the adequacy of the Draft EIR. The SWAPE letter also conducts an exercise using its sample project and the potential impacts of local hire requirements on estimated sample project-level GHG emissions, though it does not state that local hire requirements would result in reduced construction - related GHG emissions for all projects in all geographic areas. In short, the SWAPE letter is general and not applicable to the Project. Finally, the comment includes a disclaimer by SWAPE—the technical preparer. The disclaimer provides that as additional information is made available, SWAPE may amend its technical report.

Section 4.15, Public Services
and Recreation 4.15-12
The proposed TCMV Specific Plan includes approximately 4.9 acres of designated park area, including an approximately 3.5- acre area to be centrally located and open to the public, and an approximately 1.3
1.4-acre linear park.
4.16, Transportation
4.16-36
The Project, which includes roadway improvements, and features to encourage non-vehicular travel and use of transit, would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, and/or policy addressing the circulation system, including SCAG’s Connect SoCal, the 2006 or 2040 General Plan s, and the MVMC resulting in a less than significant impact.
5.0, Other CEQA
Considerations 5-3
The 2006 and 2040 General Plan s and Moreno Valley zoning ordinance anticipate development of the Project site. Implementation of the Project would commit the Project site to a mixed -use development consisting of residential, commercial/civic, and park uses.
5.0, Other CEQA
Considerations 5-5
With respect to parks, the proposed TCMV Specific Plan includes approximately 4.8 4.9 acres of public open space area, including an approximately 3.5-acre area to be centrally located within the Project site and an approximately 1.3 1.4-acre linear park.
5.0, Other CEQA
Considerations 5-6
However, this type of growth is already anticipated in the City’s 2006 and 2040 General Plan s, and as identified on Figure 4.0- 1, Cumulative Projects Location Map , is already being proposed.
Therefore, implementation of residential and non - residential uses allowed by the proposed TCMV Specific Plan would support existing uses in the area, and could encourage or facilitate the growth envisioned in the 2006 and 2040 General Plans.
6.0, Alternatives 6-19
As with the Project, the Reduced Development – Less Residential Alternative would comply with City requirements and would not conflict with 2006 or 2040 General Plan policies related to transportation and circulation, including the construction of adjacent roadways and access improvements necessary to serve the Project, and the construction of improvements to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel, and transit use.
6.0, Alternatives 6-28
As with the Project, the Reduced Development – Less Commercial Alternative would comply with City requirements and would not conflict with 2006 or 2040 General Plan policies related to transportation and circulation, including construction of adjacent roadways and access improvements necessary to serve the Project, Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan

and construction of improvements to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel, and transit use.
6.0, Alternatives 6-31
As with the Project, this Alternative would have less than significant impacts related to impacts on a scenic vista, and conflict with goals or policies outlined in the 2006 and 2040 General Plans or MVMC requirements that regulate scenic quality, and no impact related to degrading scenic resources within a State Scenic Highway.
6.0, Alternatives 6-36
As with the Project, the Reduced Development – Less Residential and Less Commercial Alternative would comply with City requirements and would not conflict with 2006 or 2040 General Plan policies related to transportation and circulation, including construction of adjacent roadways and access improvements necessary to serve the Project, and construction of improvements to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel, and transit use.
3.1 NO RECIRCULATION OF DRAFT EIR REQUIRED
CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 describes the conditions under which a draft EIR that was circulated for public review is required to be re -circulated for additional public review and comment.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(a) states that “[ n]ew information added to an EIR is not ‘significant’ unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project’s proponents have declined to implement. ‘Significant new information’ requiring recirculation include[s], for example, a disclosure showing that:
(1) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
(2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. (3) A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it.
(4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.”
Based on the comment letters received by the City of Moreno Valley and the responses thereto (presented in Section 2.0, above) and the minor revisions made to the Draft EIR (presented in Table 3- 1 above), there were no public comments or changes to the text or analysis presented in the Draft EIR that resulted in the identification of any new significant environmental effect or a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental effect that were disclosed in the Draft EIR. In response to comments received on the Draft EIR, two of the Project’s mitigation measures were altered (MM 4.8-1 and 4.8- Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Plan
Final Environmental Impact Report
City of Moreno Valley
2, as described in Table 3-1); however, the changes to the mitigation measures did not substantially alter the mitigation actions required of the Project Applicant or create new impacts. Additionally, the Draft EIR was fundamentally and basically adequate, and all conclusions within the D raft EIR were supported by evidence provided within the D raft EIR or the administrative record for the Project.
Furthermore, public comment letters on the Draft EIR did not identify any alternatives to the proposed Project which were considerably different from those analyzed in the D raft EIR that would substantially lessen the significant environmental impacts of the proposed Project while still attaining the Project’s basic objectives. Based on the foregoing, recirculation of the Draft EIR is not warranted according to the guidance set forth in Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.

4.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for use in ensuring the implementation of the required mitigation for the Town Center at Moreno Valley (TCMV) Specific Plan Project (Project). The MMRP has been prepared in compliance with State law and the Town Center at Moreno Valley Specific Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2022040417).
CEQA requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the Project or conditions of Project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment (PRC Section 21081.6). The law states that the reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during Project implementation.
This MMRP includes mitigation measures (MMs) from the TCMV Specific Plan Final EIR.
4.2 MITIGATION MONITORING AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Lead Agency, the City of Moreno Valley (City) is responsible for ensuring full compliance with the mitigation measures adopted for the Project. The City will monitor and report on all mitigation activities. Mitigation measures will be implemented at different stages of development throughout the Project site. In this regard, the responsibilities for implementation have been assigned to the Property Owner/Developer, Contractor, or a combination thereof.

4.1 AESTHETICS
Threshold a: Less than Significant Impact. The Project
site is not within a City-designated view corridor, and the Project does not involve any development within
or adjacent to any scenic resources that define a scenic vista. The public views available from Nason Street,
Alessandro Boulevard, and
Cottonwood Avenue
adjacent to the Project site would largely be retained, and the Project’s potential impacts to scenic views of
distant mountains and Moreno Peak would be less
than significant.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA Less than Significant Impact.
Threshold b: No Impact. The Project site is not within
the viewshed of a State scenic highway; therefore, the
Project would not degrade scenic resources within a
State scenic highway. No impact would occur.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA No Impact.
Threshold c: Less than Significant Impact. Future
development implementing the proposed TCMV
Specific Plan would adhere to the established
Development Standards and Design Guidelines
included in the TCMV Specific Plan and would not
conflict with goals or policies outlined in the General Plan or MV MC requirements that regulate scenic
quality. This impact would be less than significant.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA Less than Significant Impact.
Threshold d: Potentially Significant Impact
(Construction)/Less than Significant Impact
(Operation). Construction-related lighting has the
potential to create substantial light, which could
adversely affect adjacent residential uses, resulting in a potentially significant temporary impact.
Future development implementing the proposed
TCMV Specific Plan would adhere to established
Development Standards and Design Guidelines and
MVMC requirements related to lighting and non -
reflective building materials and would not create a
new source of sub stantial light or glare that would
adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.
Impacts would be less than significant.
MM 4.1-1 Prior to the issuance of grading permits,
the Property Owner/Developer shall
provide evidence to the City that the
contractor specifications require that the
construction staging area be located as
far as possible from the existing
residential development surrounding
the Project site to minimize light
intrusion. Temporary nighttime lighting
installed during construction for
security or any other purpose shall be
downward-facing and hooded or
shielded to prevent light from spilling

4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
Threshold a: No Impact. The Project site does not
contain Farmland (Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance) and
there are no agricultural activities onsite. The Project would not convert Farmland to non -agricultural uses
and no impact would occur.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA No Impact.
Threshold b: No Impact. The City does not contain
areas zoned for agricultural uses and the Project site
does not contain land under a Williamson Act
Contract. The Project would not conflict with a
Williamson Act Contract or agricultural zoning and no
impact would occur.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA No Impact.
Threshold c: No Impact. The City does not have a
forest land zone; therefore, the Project would not
conflict with any forest land zoning and no impact
would occur.

4.3 AIR QUALITY
Threshold a: Significant Project and Cumulative
Impact. The Project could result in or cause NAAQS
or CAAQS violations because operational -source
emissions would exceed the applicable SCAQMD
regional thresholds for VOC, NOX, and CO. As such,
the Project is conservatively considered to have the
potential to conflict with the AQMP and a significant
impact would occur with respect to this threshold.
MM 4.3-2 Legible, durable, weather -proof signs
shall be placed at commercial loading
docks and truck parking areas that
identify applicable CARB anti- idling
regulations. At a minimum, each sign
shall include: 1) instructions for truck
drivers to shut off engines when not in
use; 2) instructions for drivers of diesel
trucks to restrict idling to no more than
five (5) minutes
once the vehicle is
stopped, the transmission is set to
"neutral" or "park," and the parking
brake is engaged; and 3) telephone
numbers of the building facilities
manager and CARB to report
violations. Prior to the issuance of an
occupancy permit, the Cit y shall
conduct a site inspection to ensure that
the signs are in place.
MM 4.3-3 Prior to the issuing of each building
permit, the Project proponent and its
contractors shall provide plans and

Threshold b: Significant Project and Cumulative
Impact. Prior to mitigation, the Project would exceed
the applicable SCAQMD regional thresholds for VOC
during construction, and VOC, NO
X, and CO during
operation. Therefore, construction and operation of
the Project would contribute to existing violations of
the O3 standard (VOC and NOX are O3 precursors) and
would result in a significant cumulatively
considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for
which the Project region is nonattainment under an

with SCAQMD Rule 402, which prohibits the
discharge of odorous emissions that would create a
public nuisance.
No mitigation is required. NA NA NA Less than Significant Impact.
4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Threshold a: Potentially Significant Impact. No
sensitive plant species were detected within the
Project area and potential impacts to the San Diego
tarplant, a CRPR 4.2 species, would be less than
significant.
One special- status species (Cooper’s hawk) was
observed within the Project area during the biological
survey and has a low potential to nest in the trees
within the Project area. The Project area has suitable
foraging and nesting habitat for BUOW and roost ing
habitat for the western mastiff bat. Construction
activities also have the potential to result in indirect noise impacts to roosting western mastiff bats in trees near the Project area. If any of these species, active
nests, or roosts are present withi n the Project area
during construction, impacts to the biological
resources would be potentially significant.
MM 4.4-1 Prior to the issuance of grading permits,
the Property Owner/Developer shall
provide the City with proof of retention
of a qualified biologist to implement
this mitigation measure. If the removal
of any trees, shrubs, or any other
potential nestin g and foraging habitat
for avian species, including sensitive
species and raptor nests, is to be
conducted within the nesting season
(September 1 to February 14 for
songbirds; September 1 to January 14
for raptors), a nesting bird survey shall
be required within three days prior to
start of work. If active nests are
identified, the biologist will establish
appropriate buffers around the area
(typically 500 feet for raptors and
sensitive species, and 200 feet for non-
raptors/non-
sensitive species). All
work within these buffers will be halted
until the nesting effort is finished (i.e.,
the juveniles are surviving independent
from the nest). The on -
site biologist
will review and verify compliance with

these nesting boundaries and verify the
nesting effort has finished. Work can
resume within the buffer area when no
other active nests are found.
Alternatively, a qualified biologist may
determine that certain work can be
permitted within the buffer areas and
develop a monitoring plan to prevent
any impacts while the nest continues to
be active (eggs, chicks, etc.). If
vegetation clearing is not initiated
within 72 hours of a negative survey
during nesting season, the nesting
survey must be repeated to confirm the
absence of nesting birds. If vegetation
removal occurs outside of nesting
season or if no nesting birds are found,
no further action will be required.
MM 4.4-2 Prior to the issuance of grading permits,
the Property Owner/Developer shall
provide the City with proof of retention

where suitable habitat is present shall
be conducted by a qualified biologist
within 30 days prior to the
commencement of ground -disturbing
activities. If active BUOW burrows are
detected during the breeding season, all
work within an appropriate buffer
(typically a minimum of 300 feet) of
any active burrow will be halted. If
there is an active nest at the burrow,
work will not proceed within the buffer
until that nesting effort is finished. The
on-site biologist will review and verify
compliance with these boundaries and
will verify the nesting effort has
finished. Work can resume in the buffer
