City Council,

Redeveloping the festival center has been great for Moreno Valley. It has been an eye sore for a long time but I’ve notice the improvement lately.

That part of town seems like it’s doing better and more business are around and thriving. The construction has also provided a lot of local jobs for people I know

My intention for this email is to encourage you all to vote to continue the work at and around the festival center

Best,

Brett Dawson

Re: PEN23-0063, PEN23-0042 and PEN24-0167— Building 5 at The District Moreno Valley

Mr. C at a l di

As the VP of Strategic Growth at Rancho Family Medical Group, I am proud to say we are opening our ﬁrst location in the City of Moreno Valley at The District. I wanted the City to know that we support the approval of the proposed Building 5 at The District.

In addition to the freeway visibility and easy access, one of the primary beneﬁts of this location was the proximity to the four (4) building Moreno Valley Business Park and the other high quality retail tenants. Being immediately adjacent to existing businesses o ffers incredible convenience for potential new customers. We want to see this area continue to grow and prosper and are very excited about our new location at The District. Approving Building 5 will continue this positive trend .

Please approve this project.

Sincerely,

Charlie Wall

Re: Public Comments on Agenda Item I.1 - Moreno Valley Business Park Project (PEN23-0063, PEN23-0092, PEN23-0042, PEN24-0167) including Final Environmental Impact Report

To the City of Moreno Valley Planning Commission:

Please accept these comments on behalf of the Sierra Club –San Gorgonio Chapter regarding the Moreno Valley Business Park Project1 (PEN23-0063) (“the Project”) including the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR” or “Final EIR”). This Project is scheduled for hearing before the Planning Commission today, September 11, 2025, Agenda Item I.1. For the reasons outlined in this letter and our previous letters, we urge the Planning Commission to deny this Project until further analysis and mitigation of the Project’s environmental impacts is undertaken.

The Project is an application by LCG10MV, LLC for the construction and operation of a 220,390 square foot industrial warehouse building on 9.98 acres at the southwest corner of Heacock Street and Ironwood Avenue. The Project includes a request for a General Plan Amendment redesignating the site from Commercial to Business Park/Light Industrial as well as a Specific Plan Amendment amending the Moreno Valley Festival Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 205).

The Project will operate as a logistics warehouse directly across the street from single family residences on both the Project’s north and west sides. The “development concept” includes 31 truck dock doors. Truck driveways are located on Heacock Avenue and Ironwood Avenue. It is assumed the Project will be operational 24 per days, seven days per week.

1 The Project is sometimes referred to in the record as The District, the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project, and the Moreno Valley Business Park– Phase II Project.

Sierra Club comments – Moreno Valley Business Park Project September 11, 2025 Planning Comm’n Meeting

I. Failure to Respond To Comments Received During Public Comment Period on Draft EIR.

Sierra Club submitted written comments during the public comment period that were not responded to in the Final EIR. On March 3, 2025, George Hague of Sierra Club submitted comments on Draft EIR by e-mail to the e-mail address provided on public notices relating to the Project (letter attached here). Mr. Hague’s letter was not included in the Final EIR and no written responses were provided.

The City is obligated under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) to respond to written comments received during the public comment period. CEQA Guidelines Section 15088 requires that lead agencies evaluate all comments on environmental issues received on the Draft EIR and prepare a written response. The written response must address the environmental issues raised and provide a detailed response. (Guidelines, § 15088 (b), (c).) In addition, the written response must be a good faith and reasoned analysis. (id.) The City has not complied with this requirement as there is no written response in the record to Sierra Club’s March 3, 2025 letter.

II. Assembly Bill 98 Should Be Considered in the Design of the Project The Project requests a General Plan amendment to allow a warehouse distribution building within 200 feet of existing homes. We previously commented that the Project must satisfy the requirements of Assembly Bill 98 “Warehouse Design and Build Standards”. The Final EIR Response to Comment (“RTC”) SCA-2 states that the City “would require that the Final Project designs comport with provisions of AB 98.” (FEIR p. 3-88.) All applicable and relevant provisions of AB 98 (Government Code, § 65098 et seq .) should be considered in the design and implementation of the proposed Project, including, for instance, the “21 st Century warehouse” standards, requiring, among other things, that all forklifts shall be zero emission by January 1, 2030 (Gov. Code, § 65098 (a)(5)). Other requirements may include:

- “21st Century Warehouse” design elements,
- a separate entrance for heavy-duty trucks
- at least 100 feet of landscape buffering along sensitive receptors - truck loading bays setback 500 feet from any property line abutting a sensitive receptor (See, Government Code § 65098.1 (c)(1)-(6), (d).)

III. Errors and Omissions Should Be Corrected With Respect to the Project’s Online Record and the Disclosure of Relevant Information

The Project apparently seeks a “Mix of Uses” zoning designation under the Moreno Valley Festival (“MVP”) Specific Plan as part of the Amendment No. 2 application. We previously commented that Mix-of-Uses does not appear to be a zoning designation under the MVF. The Final EIR states that the “Land Use designation for the Project is at the discretion of the Lead Agency” (p. 3-89). The City’s response does not address the issue that requested land use designation described in the EIR (“Mix -of-Uses”) does not appear to be a permitted land use under the MVF Specific Plan.

Sierra Club comments – Moreno Valley Business Park Project September 11, 2025 Planning Comm’n Meeting

The Final EIR acknowledges that, per our previous comments, that the majority of the “technical studies” supporting the EIR were prepared prior to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of EIR. These studies do not adequately describe or evaluate current environmental conditions.

The City apparently updated the Air Quality Analysis, which was not circulated for public review, but did not update any of the other technical studies. Under CEQA, the “environmental baseline”, i.e., the baseline physical conditions by which an agency determines whether an impact is significant, is generally the “physical environmental conditions as they exist at the time of the notice of preparation.” (Guidelines, § 15125 (a)(1).) Here, the technical studies pre- date the NOP in many instances. They appear to be copies of, or heavily reliant on, studies prepared for development of the MVF Festival Specific Plan planning area (not the Project site or proposed warehouse use) or otherwise not current or reflective of existing conditions, both physical and regulatory.

The Final EIR acknowledges, per our comments, that there are “internet posting discrepancies” with respect to the online links to the EIR’s technical documents ( see, RTC SCA-5) but the errors identified in our previous letter have not been corrected. For instance, as of the writing of this letter, Appendix G is still described online as the “Noise Analysis,” but Appendix G is a link to a soils report. RTC SCA -5 acknowledges that documents are “incorrectly linked on the City’s website.” This should be corrected.

Similarly, we commented that Appendix B referred to as “Amendment No. 2” to the EIR on the City’s planning website is a link to “Amendment to Specific Plan 205” dated February 21, 2021. This document (“Appendix B”) does not include the proposed Project and is not updated to reflect the proposed industrial use. We still not able to locate a document entitled “Amendment No. 2” (to the Festival Specific Plan/MVF) with the EIR documents available online. The Final EIR does not address this comment or the omission of Amendment No. 2 from the available online documents.

IV. The Project as Proposed Appears to Be Inconsistent with the MVF Specific Plan Design Guidelines
We previously commented that the Project’s design, particularly circulation elements such points of ingress and egress (driveways) are inconsistent with the “MVF” Specific Plan document (See, Draft EIR, Appendix B, p. 57). This figure shows a “major entry” point on Heacock Street with a “minor entry” point at Davis Street, not the two truck driveways indicated on the rendering in the EIR. Yet MVF Specific Plan Section 5.2.3 states that all properties within the “MVF” shall be developed in conformance with the Specific Plan. We commented that the Project must be conditioned to be 55 feet in height consistent with the Building Height provisions of the “MVF” Specific Pl an (Appendix B, p. 63); and we commented that the Project should likewise follow the Business Park Design Standards listed in the “MVF” Specific Plan, including that “a variety of building sizes and setbacks should be provided in order to avoid long monotonous building facades and to create diversity.” We also commented that the “MVF” Specific Plan indicates that “along the Ironwood Avenue and Heacock Street boundary, 8’ high solid fencing shall be used to restrict access and view to the residential areas and provide a sound buffer from traffic noise.” In short, we commented that these and other design elements from the MVF Specific Plan must be carried over to the Sierra Club comments – Moreno Valley Business Park Project September 11, 2025 Planning Comm’n Meeting

Project’s design to ensure consistency with the governing land use plan. The Final EIR does not address the comment that there is a lack of conformity with the MVF Specific Plan design guidelines despite the Project seeking to be amended to the MVF Specific Plan and therefore subject to its design guidelines. Specifically, RTC SCA-7 does not address this comment, and “Figure 1” does not somehow resolve the lack of conformance with the Specific Plan design guidelines. As one purpose of a specific plan in general is to provide comprehensive and/or uniform design guidelines for a particular planning area, with the purpose of bringing cohesion to design and development across all aspects of the subject area, the failure of the Project to meet the “design guidelines” of the MVT Specific Plan must be addressed.

V. General Plan Inconsistency

Among other instances of inconsistency with the General Plan, we previously commented that the Project is inconsistent with the City’s General Plan in terms of failing to provide necessary traffic studies. The General Plan requires a traffic study with res pect to certain intersections in the vicinity of the Project. This study has not been done. RTC SCA -9 states that “LOS” is not a “CEQA consideration.” Even if true, the extant General Plan requires these studies, and it is a basic tenant of planning law th at a project must be consistent with the general plan. “The propriety of virtually any local decision affecting land use and development depends upon consistency with the applicable general plan and its elements.” (Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 Cal.3d 553, 570 -571.) Thus, apart from the issue of whether traffic studies are required by CEQA, the General Plan requires these studies. ( See, City of Moreno Valley General Plan MM AA-10 and General Plan Policy 9.5.3.) It is the City’s obligation to ensure that projects are carried out in a manner that is consistent with its own general plan. We submit that siting a warehouse distribution facil ity in a residential area warrants at least the preparation of the required traffic studies.

VI. Cumulative Air Quality Impacts

We reiterate that the EIR must evaluate the cumulative air quality effects of this warehouse development in combination with the millions of square feet (50+ million square feet) approved or in process of approval by the City in the last fifteen years. The EIR does not contain either a qualitative or quantitative discussion of cumulative projects or their associated air quality emissions. The failure to evaluate the combined effects of the thousands of diesel trucks in and around Moreno Valley is a failure to confront the reality of the harmful and long -term consequences of the City’s land use decisions. The environmental and public health consequences of the City’s decisions should be evaluated in connection with all projects that will contribute to cumulatively significant air quality conditions. The EIR is incomplete and fails on an informational basis without a cumulative air quality impact analysis.

As a threshold of significance for air quality impacts, the EIR asks whether the Project will have a potentially significant cumulative air quality impact. However, the discussion that follows the threshold does not list or identify any cumulative projects that could, in combination with the Project, contribute to cumulatively significant air quality impacts; nor is there any analysis of cumulative projects in combination with the Project’s air quality impacts. Rather, there is only the blanket conclusion that cumulative air quality impacts need not be analyzed

Sierra Club comments – Moreno Valley Business Park
Project September 11, 2025 Planning Comm’n
Meeting

because purportedly there are no individually significant air quality impacts. CEQA, however, defines a “cumulative impact” as one that may be individually limited but cumulatively considerable when considered with past, present, and foreseeable future projects. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15130 (a), 15355 (b).) The term “’cumulative impacts’ refer[s] to two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts.” (Guidelines, § 15355.) The Project adds to the more than 50 million square feet of warehouse development approved in Moreno Valley; yet the EIR does not disclose or evaluate air quality impacts on a cumulative level.

Moreno Valley actively promotes itself as a “Major Distribution Hub” for “Logistics & Distribution”. 2 For example, Moreno Valley’s website states that “[t]he City led Riverside County with 5 million square feet of industrial space absorption in the past two years.” (id.) The City’s website lists more than 20 million square feet of warehouse facility space not including the World Logistics Center campus at 40.6 million square feet. ( id.) Areas of concentrated warehouse development include in the Centerpointe Industrial Area, the Moreno Valley Industrial Area, the SR -60 Corridor area and the World Logistics Center campus. 3 The EIR should list these cumulative warehouse projects, and evaluate the Project’s air emissions in combination with cumulative air quality conditions.

Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

Sincerely,

Abigail Smith

Appreciate this opportunity to provide a few comments on the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project Draft EIR and all discretionary actions. The July 2023 Initial study on page 2-6 reads as follows: 2.3.2.1 General Plan Land Use General Plan Land Use and Zoning designations for the Project site and vicinity properties are depicted at Figures 2.3-3 and 2.3-4, respectively. The General Plan Land Use Designation of the Project site is “Business Park/Light Industrial.” The Project would be allowed under the Business Park/Light Industrial General Plan Land Use designation. More specifically, as described in the General Plan, “[t]he primary purpose of areas designated Business Park/Industrial is to provide for manufacturing, research and development, warehousing and distribution, as well as office and support commercial activities. The zoning regulations shall identify the particular uses permitted on each parcel of land. Development intensity should not exceed a Floor Area Ratio [FAR] of 1.00 and the average FAR should be significantly less . . .” (City of Moreno Valley General Plan, p. 2-14). The General Plan Land use Designation of Business Park/Light Industrial is inaccurate and the Initial Study needs to be redone as should the Notice of Preparation because neither indicate a General Plan Amendment was necessary so those commenting have accurate information on which to base what they submit. The Moreno Valley Business Park was first taken to public hearings to the Planning Commission in December, 2020, and the City Council in February, 2021. At that time, it was pointed out to the city that the Initial Study was prepared without supporting studies. Instead, the project’s environments assessments based the Initial Study findings on studies not relevant to the project or studies prepared for Moreno Valley Festival Amendment 205 dated February 15th, 2018 that did not evaluate the approximately 10 acres proposed for the Moreno Valley Business Park warehouse. That project was approved by the city and they proceed to amend the Moreno Valley Festival Specific Plan 205 dated January 19, 2021 — listed as “Appendix B: SP 205 Amendment 2” in latest Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project documents. Because of inadequate Initial Study the project was litigated by local community groups and the court sided with the 2 plaintiffs requiring the project to be rescinded by the City. The City, however, would not comply with the court order and has let the 2021 edition of the Specific Plan remain unchanged and publicly available despite it not being valid. How is this justified? Therefore the February 15, 2018 Amendment in the link found above must be used for this project. It also questions the entire premise that the proposed project is justified for this location and is now part of the Festival Specific Plan no. 205. Both the Notice of Preparation and the Notice of Availability read “the Project site comprises approximately 9.98 acres within Specific Plan no. 205”. This is false because it is not within the Amendment to Festival Specific Plan 205 (February 15, 2018) that must be used. It also cannot use any of the analysis of SP 205 or tier off of it to justify this project's environmental analysis. Neither the Initial Study (IS) nor the Notice of Preparation (NOP) let the agencies or the public know that a General Plan Amendment was needed as is part of the Notice of Availability. Both the IS and NOP need to be recirculated so all agencies and the pubic have the correct information for their comments. The fact that all these documents also mislead everyone about the project being within the Specific Plan 205 makes it imperative that a recirculation of everything must be done prior to allowing this project to move forward with its environmental review. The title of the project tries to give the impression that this is part of a larger project when in fact this project site as part of Amendment to Festival Specific Plan 205 (February 15, 2018) was excluded and therefore should not include “Building 5” in its title. When the previous version of the Moreno Valley Business Park (MVBP) was initiated and while going through environmental review there was a water tank on the project site which was later moved to another location. Both the tank and all its infrastructure removal and re-installation also needed to be part of that MVBP environmental review as well as this one. The fact that the water tank/infra-structure removal and re-installation was not part of MVBC’s or this project’s environmental analysis/review indicates both projects are being segmented. The environmental documents for this new version of the MVBP must include all impacts related to the water tank/infrastructure’s removal/re-installation or it will be inadequate. This project must now include the cumulative impacts of all projects that currently exist or proposed for the area. This must include, but not limited to the Sprouts building, Starbucks, Woodspring Suites hotel, the gas station/connivance store at Hemlock Ave/Heacock Street and the new building currently under construction in the NE portion of the SP. There are many times when I and others try to turn right onto Heacock St from the SR-60 west bound offramp there is no place to turn because of traffic has backed up from the signal at Hemlock Ave/Heacock St. This has only become worse since the service station/connivence store was built a few months ago. The idea of even just one semi-truck added to the mix will make it a nightmare. With all the stop and go traffic semi-trucks need to be counted as the equivalent of five passenger cars. The Level of Service (LOS) for all on/off ramps from SR-60 to Heacock Street need to be fully analyzed at peak travel times of the day and year or the EIR will be inadequate. In fact the LOS all of Heacock St and its intersections from south of Sunnymead Blvd to north of Ironwood Ave needs to be fully analyzed because this roadway already is seriously congested at all times of the day —including weekends. The project must provide solutions to these currently intolerable road condition and not try to add to the problem without developing/implementing solutions to make things significantly better. The analysis of Hemlock Ave/Indian Street intersection and Ironwood Ave/Davis Street intersection must also be fully analyzed with solutions provided to improve their degradation. Davis Street and Hemlock Ave are supposed to collect almost all traffic leaving building sites with in the SP so they do not impact Ironwood Ave and Heackcock Street. Figure 3-1.2 Circulation Plan on 3 page 23 of Moreno Valley Festival SP 205 February 15, 2018 in the first link found above and incorporated by reference shows with arrows that the project site is supposed to be able to enter/exit from its SE corner to Davis Street to avoid affecting families living along Ironwood Ave with health-impacting diesel pollution. The project’s traffic could then use Hemlock Ave/Heacock Street to reach SR-60. The traffic/circulation as well as air quality studies must show this as part of the analysis or the Final EIR will be inadequate. Previous approval of the SP 205 required the following: "Mitigation Measure No. 3 (Biological Resources Impacts). Future developers must consult with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board to determine the need for permits that must be obtained prior to initiation of construction of a proposed project.” The current almost ten acre site shows a stream bed going through it to a large detention basin on the east side of Davis Street. The current list of agencies sent the document doesn’t include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board. Both of those agencies need to be sent the documents because the project site was not included when the above was written. This project’s Final EIR must include all those consultation required of Mitigation Measure No. 3 (Biological Resources Impacts) shown above with all three agencies along with their dates included or it will be inadequate. It is expected that the FEIR will have a response from all three agencies on this project as well as the previously approved Amendment to Festival Specific Plan 205 (February 15, 2018). In December 2018, in the case of Sierra Club v. County of Fresno (2018) 6 Cal.5th 502, the California Supreme Court held that an Environmental Impact Report’s (EIR) air quality analysis must meaningfully connect the identified air quality impacts to the human health consequences of those impacts, or meaningfully explain why that analysis cannot be provided. (Friant Ranch Case) Most local agencies, including the City of Moreno Valley, lack the data to do their own assessment of potential health impacts from criteria air pollutant emissions, as would be required to establish customized, locally-specific thresholds of significance based on potential health impacts from an individual development project. The use of national or “generic” data to fill the gap of missing local data would not yield accurate results because such data does not capture local air patterns, local background conditions, or local population characteristics, all of which play a role in how a population experiences air pollution. Because it is impracticable to accurately isolate the exact cause of a human disease (for example, the role a particular air pollutant plays compared to the role of other allergens and genetics in causing asthma), existing scientific tools cannot accurately estimate health impacts of the Project’s air emissions without undue speculation. Instead, readers are directed to the Project’s air quality impact analysis above, which provides extensive information concerning the quantifiable and non-quantifiable health risks related to the Project’s construction and long-term operation. It is unacceptable that Moreno Valley with a populations of about 210,000 and probably 50 million sq ft of approved warehouses lacks the data to do their own assessment of potential health impacts from criteria air pollutant emissions, as would be required to establish customized, locally-specific thresholds of significance based on potential health impacts from an individual development project. If Moreno Valley had this data the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project would likely be shown to impact the health of the Environmental Justice community in which the developer has decided to build. In response to the judgement mentioned above the city of Moreno Valley is currently revising their General Plan and redoing Climate Action Plan. During this process they need to generate the data to do their own assessment of potential health impacts from projects like this. 4 The project's Phase II Greenhouse Gas (GHG) study was done in 2022 when the City had a General Plan and Climate Action Plan (CAP) that was later told by the courts were inadequate. The very fact that sections of the report are labeled "City of Moreno Valley General Plan Consistency" shows how out of date it is. They also point out that 15% of the project will be cold storage which usually requires generators which were not fully analyzed for their additional GHG impacts. The noise impacts from Cold Storage were also not adequately analyzed and the assumption are not valid. Roof-top Air conditioning units are not the same as what is needed for cold storage—especially in our over 100 degree summers. The noise analysis is inadequate because it lacks an analysis of the significant 24/7 noise generated by cold storage as well as their possible generators. There should also be a sensitive receiver location at the NW corner of Ironwood Ave and Davis Street. There are several noise attenuations measure that could be taken to further reduce impacts on employees, surrounding businesses and nearby families. Those should be explained in the Final EIR to make it a better informational document for the public. The Energy Analysis is over three years old and only tries to provide information on what happens during construction which makes it inadequate. The settlement on the Moreno Valley Compass Danbe Centerpointe warehouse found below shows many ways to reduce a warehouse's carbon footprint for a project like this. The energy analysis should help guide the project to reduce its demand of petroleum products and increase self-sufficiency with maximum use of solar panels. The Energy Analysis needs to be significantly updated. Below is a 13 page settlement agreement signed less than two month ago by the developer of the Moreno Valley Compass Danbe Centerpointe warehouse – located just down Alessandro Blvd just a couple of miles from this project. This settlement shows what is feasible and what the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project warehouse must also do to reduce the pollution burdens on this Disadvantaged Community as well as the environment. My NOP letter showed how the project site and surrounding area’s CalEnviroScreen Overall Percentile is 86, Ozone 99 and Cardiovascular 91. How will the project do its best to reduce its impacts on global warming? What else can it do to reduce its use of petroleum products and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)? It is expected that the Final EIR will address each of the settlement points found below to show how its implementations will reduce the project’s impact on the disadvantaged community, its employees and the environment. One of the first listed is the need for solid screen of 50 foot evergreen trees around the perimeter. These trees will reduce light, noise and diesel pollution and must be incorporated into the project as must most other parts of the settlement. Another is to make the building all electric as well as every piece of equipment with maximum permitted solar. The timeline to have all electric heavy duty trucks and vans in the near future and will benefit both the nearby families, employees as well as the environment. Agreeing to not have cold storage as part of the warehouse will significantly reduce noise and truck traffic. The Final EIR must compare the project’s noise pollution caused by the proposed amount of cold storage as well as truck traffic vs no cold storage or it will be inadequate. I expect to see many other parts of this feasible settlement agreement found below as part of the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project Final EIR in order to protect nearby families, workers and the environment. It is the responsibility of all Planning Commissioners and City Council members to protect the Health, Safety and Welfare of Moreno Valley residents. This includes the environment in which we live and the air we breathe. All individuals on those decision making bodies need to encourage and if necessary direct our planning staff to include most of what is found in the next 13 pages in their staff report for the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project– especially those that reduce GHG, use of petroleum products, and other forms of pollution. 5 6

The current zoning is more appropriate for land use in the area as opposed to another warehouse which could easily be 50 feet tall – a five story building-- as they want to build to accommodate High Cube cold storage as part of the warehouse. This would be on the corner of Ironwood Ave and Heacock St near residential. A building like this is not appropriate in this location and so close to this major intersection. Other businesses must be provided in the alternatives and not just another version of a warehouse. Businesses that do not need a General Plan Amendment need to be suggested as an alternative. This is an ideal location for apartments and needs to be included as an alternative. There is nearby transit with a variety of stores and restaurants. Even a variety of employment opportunities within walking distance. The Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project warehouse Final EIR needs to compare the proposed plan’s polluJon levels – including, but not limited to noise, air, GHG, odor, and light -- with one that incorporates all of the above from the Compass Danbe Centerpointe seUlement agreement during the ﬁrst ten years of operaJon or it will be inadequate. The fact that another Moreno Valley warehouse developer signed the seUlement agreement proves they are considered feasible. Please keep me informed of all meeJngs and documents related to the Moreo Valley Business Park Building 5 Project warehouse.

Green Jobs & Clean Communities 10 September 2025 Planning Commission City of Moreno Valley 14177 Frederick Street Moreno Valley, CA 92553 Delivered via email to: [email protected] [email protected] Re: Supplemental Comments on Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR), SCH 2023081366 Commissioners, Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance (GSEJA) has presented arguments regarding the aforementioned project in the form of a: • Comment Letter dated 27 February 2025, which objects to the EIR and documents systematic California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) violations including project segmentation, deficient air quality modeling, absence of environmental justice analysis, inadequate General Plan consistency review, insufficient transportation impact evaluation, and failure to address cumulative impacts on a disadvantaged community already experiencing severe pollution burdens. GSEJA also provided technical review comments dated 25 February 2025 prepared by Soil Water Air Protection Enterprise (SWAPE), which concluded that the project's air quality and health risk impacts may be underestimated due to unjustified modifications in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). SWAPE's independent analysis reveals that correcting these modeling parameters results in construction Reactive Organic Gas (ROG) emissions of approximately 395 pounds/day—more than five times the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) significance threshold of 75 pounds/day. Most critically, there was a failure to respond to this detailed technical analysis, violating CEQA Guidelines Section 15088 requirements for good faith responses to substantive comments. GSEJA's comprehensive technical review reveals critical deficiencies that warrant the Planning Commission’s rejection of this proposed 220,390 ft² warehouse development. The project site is in census tract 6065042404, which ranks in the 69th percentile of California's most polluted areas with 99th percentile asthma rates and 86th percentile diesel particulate matter burden, while 2 the EIR systematically underestimates air quality impacts in this already overburdened disadvantaged community. Adding Pollution to California's Most Overburdened Community This warehouse project would be built in census tract 6065042404, a community that already bears some of the most severe environmental burdens in the entire state of California. According to the California Environmental Protection Agency's CalEnviroScreen 4.0 analysis, this community suffers from the following factors:
§ Environmental Health Crisis: o 99th percentile for ozone burden - virtually no community in California has higher asthma rates o 86th percentile for diesel particulate matter - indicating massive industrial contamination o 60th percentile for traffic burden - showing dangerously poor air quality o 58th percentile for cleanup sites - reflecting the health toll of chronic pollution exposure § Community Vulnerability Factors: o 81% poverty rate - demonstrating economic vulnerability that limits residents' ability to escape pollution o 79% lack high school education - indicating reduced access to resources and advocacy

3 o 69% Hispanic and 6% African-American residents - populations historically targeted for environmental racism o 61% linguistic isolation - creating barriers to meaningful participation in planning processes § Health Impact Evidence: o 70th percentile for cardiovascular disease - reflecting pollution's toll on community health o 56th percentile for asthma incidence - in addition to the 99th percentile burden rates o Multiple SB 535 Disadvantaged Community designations - clearly identifying this as a disadvantaged community under state law Senate Bill (SB) 1000, California's environmental justice law, was specifically designed to protect communities like this from additional pollution burdens. The law requires local governments to identify disadvantaged communities and implement policies to reduce cumulative health risks rather than worsen them. Government Code Section 65302(h) mandates that local agencies "identify objectives and policies to reduce the unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities" through measures including "reduction of pollution exposure" and "improvement of air quality."

4 In response to comments to our original comment letter, the claim that 'CEQA focuses on physical environmental impacts rather than EJ issues' directly contradicts SB 1000 requirements and Government Code Section 65302(h), demonstrating failure to comply with state environmental justice law. The EIR ignores these existing conditions and the local community's legal protections. It fails to analyze how warehouse truck traffic, diesel emissions, and round-the-clock industrial operations will worsen health outcomes for residents who already face the worst air quality and highest disease rates in California. This breaches CEQA's fundamental mandate under Public Resources Code Section 21001(b) to "take all action necessary to provide the people of this state with clean air and water" and Section 21000(g) requiring "major consideration to preventing environmental damage, while providing a decent home and satisfying living environment for every Californian." When a community already ranks in the 99th percentile for asthma and 86th percentile for diesel pollution exposure, adding more pollution sources is not just poor planning—it is a violation of civil rights and the right to breathe clean air. Environmental Racism and the Cumulative Impact of Warehouse Concentration This warehouse project continues a decades-long pattern of environmental racism that has systematically concentrated polluting facilities in communities of color and low-income areas while protecting wealthier, predominantly white neighborhoods from industrial development. The Inland Empire, like many other inland California communities, has become a dumping ground for logistics facilities that serve the consumption needs of affluent coastal communities while imposing health burdens on working-class families and communities of color. The EIR fails to acknowledge or analyze this pattern of discriminatory land use decisions. It provides no cumulative impact analysis of the multiple warehouse and industrial projects that have been approved in the area, creating what environmental justice advocates recognize as a "sacrifice zone" - an area where residents are expected to bear health burdens that would never be tolerated in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, or other affluent communities. Documented Pattern of Warehouse Concentration The EIR provides no analysis of cumulative warehouse impacts despite documented regional projects that collectively generate over 25,000 employees in a concentrated geographic area, including: • Old 215 Business Park (345 employees) • Compass Danbe Centerpointe Warehouse (677 employees) • Cottonwood and Edgemont (175 employees) • World Logistics Center (20,300+ direct jobs) 5 • Bay and Day Commerce Center (163 employees) • Multiple SP 205 industrial developments (425,000 ft2 ; 413 employees) This discriminatory pattern violates the Fair Housing Act and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, which prohibit land use decisions that have a disparate impact on protected classes. As the California Attorney General has noted, "the burdens of pollution should not be focused on sensitive populations or on communities that already are experiencing its adverse effects." Yet that is precisely what this project would do. The cumulative health impacts from multiple warehouse facilities include: • Concentrated diesel truck traffic creating corridors of toxic air pollution, contributing to what health experts term “diesel death zones”, where cumulative pollution exposure creates severe public health consequences. • 24/7 industrial noise disrupting sleep and contributing to stress-related health problems. • Increased particulate matter worsening respiratory conditions in a community with 99th percentile asthma rates. • Traffic safety hazards on residential streets not designed for heavy truck traffic. • Economic displacement as industrial uses drives out community-serving businesses. The Planning Commission must reject this pattern of environmental injustice. Communities of color and low-income families deserve the same environmental protections as wealthy neighborhoods. Children deserve to breathe clean air and attend schools not surrounded by diesel trucks. Deficient Technical Analysis The EIR's technical analysis systematically underestimates health risks to our community's most vulnerable residents - children, pregnant women, elderly residents, and those already suffering from respiratory conditions. Most critically, the City failed to respond to detailed technical analysis provided by SWAPE, which demonstrated specific modeling errors resulting in vastly underestimated emissions. This is not simply a technical error, it is a deliberate attempt to conceal the true health consequences of this project from public scrutiny, while also violating CEQA Guidelines Section 15088. This unrefuted technical evidence stands as fact, which includes: • Air Quality Manipulation, in which the EIR modifies construction schedules in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) without proper justification, extending the timeframe to reduce daily emission calculations. When proper modeling 6 parameters are used, reactive organic gas (ROG) emissions reach approximately 395 pounds per day – more than five times the SCAQMD threshold of 75 pounds per day. This represents a significant air quality impact that triggers Environmental Impact Report requirements under CEQA. • Health Risk Underestimation: The health risk assessment uses inappropriate "Fraction of Time at Home" values that underestimate cancer risks to children and pregnant women. The analysis assumes children spend less time in their neighborhood than SCAQMD guidelines require, artificially reducing calculated cancer risks from diesel particulate matter exposure. • Missing Vulnerability Analysis: Most critically, the EIR fails to acknowledge that health risks from any level of additional pollution are magnified in a community where 99% of residents already suffer from asthma and cardiovascular disease. Children who already

7 struggle to breathe face exponentially greater harm from additional diesel emissions than healthy children in clean-air communities. • Project Piecemealing: Evidence shows the same developer (Ledo Capital Group) is implementing multiple related projects that cumulatively create massive industrial concentration. This includes documented development of over 425,000 square feet of additional warehouse/industrial space facilitated by associated land use changes, yet the EIR analyzes this project in isolation. These analytical failures prevent the community from understanding the true health consequences of this project and deny the opportunity to demand adequate protection measures. In a community already bearing the highest pollution burdens in California, even "small" additional exposures can trigger severe health consequences including asthma attacks, emergency room visits, and premature death. The Planning Commission has a responsibility to demand honest, conservative health impact analysis that protects the most vulnerable members of the community, not industry-friendly assessments designed to minimize apparent impacts. The responses to our February 2025 technical comments demonstrate a pattern of CEQA violations, including complete failure to provide good faith responses to substantive technical evidence as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15088. The dismissal of the unrefuted SWAPE technical analysis showing emissions five times above significance thresholds constitutes a failure to respond to substantial evidence, requiring EIR recirculation. Given these systematic failures to protect a community already bearing the worst pollution burdens in California, any warehouse development must achieve net zero carbon emissions. Recommendation The Planning Commission must reject the inadequate EIR and require preparation of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that mandates net zero carbon emissions, and includes: • Honest assessment of air quality impacts utilizing proper modeling parameters and addressing unrefuted SWAPE evidence. • Comprehensive cumulative impact analysis of warehouse concentration in environmental justice communities. • Meaningful environmental justice analysis as required by SB 1000 and Government Code 65302(h). • Complete project description with all required technical details for informed decision-making. 8 • Enhanced mitigation measures that are specifically designed to protect disadvantaged communities. The Planning Commission should conduct meaningful community engagement and outreach, as required by SB 1000, which involves holding public workshops (in both English and Spanish) accessible to community members at convenient hours, as well as partner with trusted and rooted community organizations and canvass affected neighborhoods on foot, as a way to meet the requirements of SB 1000, as well as understanding the ramifications of implementing such a large scale change in an impacted community. Additionally, the Planning Commission should also consider implementing enhanced mitigation measures that protect community health, such as embarking on zero emission vehicle requirements for all project-related traffic, prioritizing local community member employment, and provide health monitoring and reporting systems to reduce the impact of these types of projects, both now and in the future. Conclusion Due to the above-mentioned reasons as well as the reasons listed in the original comment letter to the EIR, GSEJA believes the EIR is flawed, and a new, comprehensive EIR must be prepared for the proposed project and circulated for public review. The health of our children and the future of our community are in your hands. Onwards.

Good morning Planning Commoner, 10:21 am September 11, 2025 Re: Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5,
The developer wants/needs you to change the current zoning of Commercial which brings in tax revenue to Business Park to perfmiit his five story warehouse near Sprouts with its toxic diesel trucks. Vote no to a General Plan Amendment to
change the zoning.

Moreno Valley already has 35 approved warehouses that
have not been built.

Re: Building 5 – Moreno Valley Business Park, The District - PEN23-0063, PEN23-0042, and PEN24-0167

Mr. Cataldi (City Council & Planning Commission)

As a resident and the former president of the CSEA Union , as well as a retired Supervisor for Moreno Valley with 43 years of experience, I strongly support the approval of the Building 5 project at The District. The history of The District (formerly the Festival Center ) is well known. For decades, it sat idle, creating an eyesore and continuing problems instead of opportunities. In recent years, redevelopment has brought new life and changed the perception of the area.

The ﬁrst phase of the business/ industrial park was a critical turning point. It provided the area with stability and laid a foundation for the old retail center to ﬁnd success and encourage new development. The District is an excellent example of a public/ private partnership producing great results for the community.

As the former CSEA Union President and retired Supervisor for the Moreno Valley school district, I ask the developer to do one thing for the area. It is an area where people can walk in the evening, and adding a small outdoor workout park would be beneﬁcial for both the District and the community. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have good local job opportunities, and this development will provide them .

For these reasons, I strongly support the approval of Building 5 of the Moreno Valley Business Park.

Best regards,

Re: Building 5 of the Moreno Valley Business Park at The District Moreno Valley – PEN23- 0063

Mr. Cataldi and Councilmembers

As a long time resident and business owner, I would like to express my strong support for the above mentioned project. The transformation of the former Festival Center has been remarkable to watch over the past several years. This was after more than two decades of decay at the old Festival Center.

This new project will provide significantly important jobs to the community. This is a first class business park and now a well performing retail center with much needed amenities.

It is a pleasure to have new, high image buildings in Moreno Valley.

Please approve this project.

Sincerely,

Vote no to a General Plan Amendment to
change the zoning.

Moreno Valley already has 35 approved warehouses that
have not been built.

Why change our General Plan zoning to allow another
warehouse?
Do we really need another warehouse in Addition to the 35 already approved and waiting to be built?
Please protect the Health, Safety and Welfare of our
residents from all the cumulative impacts of this warehouse when added to the 35 others that have been approved and waiting to be built — Vote to Deny this warehouse as did two Planning Commissioners

Good afternoon City Council Members,
Re: Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 on your October 7th agenda.

Why change the zone from commercial to allow another warehouse In Sprouts Shopping Center at a major intersection (SE Heacock St/Ironwood Ave) when we already have 35 approved waiting to be built. The unions will have plenty of work on these and it is time to protect the Health, Safety and Welfare of our residents — especially children and the elderly.

Two Planning Commissioners voted No on the Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 and it would be good if you did the same on October 7th.

Do we really need any of the FIVE warehouse projects found below now going through planning added to the more than 35 that our city already approved and waiting to be built?
The following 35 Moreno Valley warehouses that are already approved and waiting to be built with their more than 13,000 Daily toxic Diesel Truck Trips will further clog SR-60 & make our city very unhealthy.

The Following 35 warehouses are already approved and waiting to be built #1 Approved - World Logistic Center (WLC) 40 million sq ft across several streets from many homes with ground broken in 2024/2025 for first warehouses’ infra-structure.

This single project will be able to add at least 30 warehouses with each more than a million plus square feet & adding more than 12,000 Daily toxic Diesel Truck Trips to SR-60 and our local streets.
#2 Approved - Moreno Valley Business Center next to family homes in the Environmental Justice (EJ) Community of Edgemont
#3 Approved Compass Danbe Centerpointe - two warehouses #4 Approved Cottonwood & Edgemont twin warehouses next to homes in the Environmental Justice (EJ) Community of Edgemont
The following FIVE warehouses still going through environmental review and need your vote:
#5 Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 Project 220,309 sq ft Needs Zone change - adding slow moving diesel trucks to already clogged Heacock St and passing homes on Ironwood Ave
#6 -The Bay and Day warehouse in the Environmental Justice (EJ) Community of Edgemont - Needs Zone change next to homes
#7 Merwin Properties 991,047 sq warehouse — Across the street from family homes and Needs Zone change
#8 Heacock Commerce Center two warehouses totaling 873,967 sq ft adjacent to homes. #9 First Industrial Warehouse at Day Street Project 164,968 sq ft The project site would be better for apartments and/or more commercial.

Commercial on the lower level and apartments above.

Sincerely,
George Hague
P.S. Before voting on the Revised General Plan Update you need to know how many acres are zoned for even more warehouses and be provided a map showing those locations.

Good afternoon/evening city council member,

Re: Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 warehouse - Tuesday October 7th agenda.

Do Not Change the current Commercial Zoning in the Sprouts Shopping Center to allow the 5 Story tall Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 warehouse before you Tuesday October 7th. The SE corner of Ironwood Ave and Heacock St deserve more than a 5 story tall warehouse and since Moreno Valley already has 35 approved warehouses waiting to be built we do not need to change zones to allow another.

I hope you read the article on how automation is taking over and how warehouse workers are being left behind.

We will eventually be a city of large cement boxes full of automation/robotics and our residents on the road looking for work.

Please vote to deny the five story tall Moreno Valley Business Park Building 5 City warehouse.

Sincerely,

George Hague

UC Riverside researcher sees growth in high- and
low-paying jobs but a weak middle

The average rank-and-file warehouse worker in the Inland Empire earns 75% of what other workers make in the region, according to a report that lauds what it calls “historic gains” those in the logistic industry made last year.

The report, “State of the Unions: California Labor in 2024,” includes a chapter on efforts in recent years to protect workers from extreme heat and to unionize employees at Amazon’s San Bernardino air hub.
“The IE appears to be growing with either high-paying or low-paying jobs, but there is no growth for middle-class jobs,” said David Mickey-Pabello, research director at UC Riverside’s Inland Empire Labor and Community Center, which wrote the chapter about warehouse workers in the report by UCLA’s Institute for Research on Labor and Employment.
“We generally believe that a more diverse economy would greatly benefit the area, as an over-reliance on logistics could expose us to the risks associated with that industry, for example, tariffs and automation,” Mickey-Pabello added in a news release about the report.

While logistics “plays a central role in the Inland Empire’s economy, (it) continues to leave its workers behind,” the report states.

In an emailed statement, Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards said the company “strongly question(s) the validity and objectivity of the recently published report on Inland Empire warehouse workers because it relies heavily on data and citations from labor organizations with clear agendas, raising significant concerns about its accuracy and impartiality.” According to the report, one in 15 Inland Empire workers is employed in warehousing. The average warehouse worker who’s not in management earns just under $45,000 a year, with growth in non-management warehouse jobs outpacing jobs in other industries between 2014 and 2023, according to the report, which cited census data when referencing wages.

During that timeframe, the number of warehouse hand packers and packagers grew 125.8%, but the average wage of that job — $42,850 — was the lowest in the logistics industry, the report added.

Latinos, who make up 42% of the Inland workforce, are 62% of warehouse workers, according to the report.

Researchers also recapped the showdown between the Teamsters and Amazon over the union’s push to represent workers at the San Bernardino air hub, also known as KSBD.

Organizing workers “is necessary to support warehouse workers’ ongoing efforts to gain union recognition, good contracts, and workplace safety,” the report concluded.

In December, the Teamsters announced it represented more than 1,000 air hub workers. Amazon disputes this, saying the Teamsters have never been chosen in a National Labor Relations Board election to represent air hub employees and that the board hasn’t ordered Amazon to bargain with the Teamsters.
“We respect our employees’ right to choose whether or not to join a union, and the report’s characterization of organizing efforts fails to acknowledge that the vast majority of our employees have consistently chosen direct relationships with Amazon,” Hards said.
“The fact is, Amazon already offers what many unions are requesting:
competitive pay, health benefits on day one, and opportunities for career growth. We look forward to working directly with our team to continue making Amazon a great place to work.”
The report also praises a state board’s January 2024 decision to fine Amazon $14,000 for not doing enough to protect air hub workers from excessive heat.

Amazon disputed the findings that led to the fine.

Amazon has said it trains workers on spotting and preventing heat illness and takes a number of steps to protect employees from excessive heat.

These include heat breaks for employees, providing heat-fighting apparel such as cooling sleeves, installing shade structures and misting fans on the air hub tarmac and policies to ensure air hub employees are never more than a minute away from water and that the air hub’s indoor temperature doesn’t exceed 72 degrees.

Moreno Valley's already 35 approved but not built warehouses will add more than 13,000 Daily Toxic Diesel Truck Trips — according to their own environmental documents.

Why add even more Diesel Trucks to our local roads and SR-60 — Both Heacock St and our section of SR-60 are already clogged.

To City Council , the redevelopment of the former Festival Center has been giant leap forward in revitalizing our community. Ever since I could remember this site has been a vacant hotspot for the homeless , but in recent years the progress has been abundantly clear.

The initial buildings at the business park facilitated the infrastructure needed for nearby retail stores to succeed. What has always been a rough area is becoming more and more inviting , as well as providing jobs for the community.

This next project is definitely what Moreno Valley needs , I respectfully request you move forward with this project.

The former Festival center and its redevelopment was and still is a very important step for Moreno Valley. There wasn't much there but lately over these past few years progress can be clear. All of the buildings have allowed all other retail businesses to flourish and the area is now appealing. Most of all though it has provided lots of jobs which I why I also want it to be for the carpenters so that we could all grow and thats including the city at the same time.

The redevelopment of the former Festival Center represents a significant step forward for Moreno Valley. For decades, this site remained vacant and was often used by the homeless, but in recent years, meaningful progress has been made.

The initial development of the business park created a strong foundation that supported the growth of nearby retail, transforming a challenging area into one that is safer, more welcoming, and more vibrant. This redevelopment has also generated valuable job opportunities for the local community.

The next phase of this project presents another exciting opportunity for Moreno Valley, and we strongly support its continued progress.

RE: Proposed Building 5 at Moreno Valley Business Park - PEN23-0063, PEN23-0042 and PEN24-0167

Dear City Council,

I have followed the changes at the former Festival Center with high interest. I shared a portion of my upbringing in Moreno Valley as did my family before me, and we have come to this shopping center for years, dating back to when the WSS nearby used to be a Red Lobster. I have also had family who were employees at several of the businesses in the center now known as The District Development. For many years, the property was in decline, and it affected the surrounding community in negative ways. The redevelopment that has been taking place has clearly reversed that trend and has restored our faith in this area of the city which has helped reduce homeless and vagrants and has increased the quality of national brands moving into the center and providing services for our community. The landlords dramatic investments in this center have completely set it apart from several other centers in town and the changes have been noticeable to anyone who spends time in this part of the city.

The first phase of the business park brought activity, improved safety, and encouraged retail to return.

For these reasons, I support approval of the current project and am hopeful you will overwhelmingly agree.

Best Regards,
Eddie Quezada
