E. REPORT OF ACTION FROM CLOSED SESSION, IF ANY, BY CITY
ATTORNEY
City Attorney Steven Quintanilla made an announcement in regards to item D.3." The City Council voted 5-0 to approve the following settlement terms: that the Box Springs Mutual Water Company will continue to collect utility tax from its users and remit the tax to the City and the City is going to waive all penalties and interest for the delinquent taxes owed to the City. The reason for that is that there was concern that the water company would pass on that cost to the customers, which the City Council does not want to happen. The settlement also provides that the City will assist with the forms that families with low incomes can submit to be exempt from paying the tax. The City Manager will have his staff work on those forms and we will rely on the low-income determinations made by other agencies with respect to determining whether someone is qualified; that includes forms that are filled out for Medi-Cal, Medicaid, CalFresh or SNAP programs." F. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Cabrera adjourned the meeting at 5:32 pm.

150-UNIT AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT

(REPORT OF: FINANCIAL & MANAGEMENT
SERVICES) (DISTRICT 3)
TITLE SUMMARY: Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2026-XX
DISTRICT: District 3
Recommendation(s)
The City Council:
1. Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2026 -XX approving the Site Control Award Letter with Option Agreement issued by the City of Moreno Valley to Rancho Belago Developers, Inc., a California corporation (“RBD” or “Developer”) or its affiliate for development of the Legacy Ridge Senior Affordable Housing Project, including authority for the City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney to exec ute and implement the Site Control Award Letter and Option Agreement.
SUMMARY
Staff presents to the City Council and recommends adoption of City Council Resolution approving a Site Control Award Letter with Option Agreement . The Award Letter with Option Agreement intends to fulfill the requirements of RBD’s application to the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (“HACR”) for its Request for Proposals, RFP No. 2026-001, that requires RBD, as applicant, to HACR to evidence “site control” of the Site, which will be provided by the Award Letter and Option Agreement (Legacy Ridge Site) between the City and RBD in the form presented with this agenda matter. 40 ID:26-0165 Page 2
The proposed Legacy Ridge Project will be a 150-unit affordable senior apartment complex to be developed on the “Site”, that is an approximate 8.47 -acre single vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Alessan dro Boulevard and Lasselle Avenue (APN 486-280-044).
The Project will be undertaken by a limited partnership to be formed by RBD, as administrative general partner, and Kingdom Development, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“KDI”), a s managing general partner, and the tax credit investor(s) as limited partner. RBD and KDI are experienced in the construction, development, operation, and management of high-quality housing in Southern California, including multiple affordable housing projects located in the City.
DISCUSSION
As to the Site, the City ha s undertaken the procedures under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Section 54220, et seq . (“SLA”), including (i) iss uing the Notice of Availability on September 30, 2024, with a deadline to submit a statement by December 2, 2024; (ii) receiving a written statement of interest from RBD on December 1, 2024 with respect to the Site; (iii) receiving two additional statements of interest during the response period, and on Janua ry 17, 2025, issuing identical letters to all interested parties requesting supplemental information regarding the development of the Site by February 21, 2025; (iv) receiving the requested data from RBD by the established deadline, while the other develop ment entities withdrew due to business reasons attributed to current workload and difference s in business model focus; (v) initiating good faith negotiations with RBD regarding the purchase and sale of the Site and the development and operation of the Legacy Ridge Project, including proposed development plans, financing strategies with project proformas, and development schedules; and (vi) submitting RBD’s proposal, as the selected developer, proposal to, and obtaining written approval letter and authorization to sell the Site to RBD as issued by the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by letter dated February 10, 2026 pursuant to the SLA.
Pursuant to the Site Control Award Letter with Option Agreement that was prepared by Special Counsel, Celeste Stahl Brady from Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, LLP , RBD intends to apply to the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (“HACR”) for an allocation and award of 37 Section 8 project-based housing vouchers (“PBVs”) pursuant to a HACR Request for Proposals RFP No. 2026 -001, which application is due on or before April 30, 2026. The RFP requires RBD evidence its “site control” of the Site, which is the subject of the Site Control Award Letter with Option Ag reement. The PBVs, if awarded, will be utilized for Extremely Low and Very Low income tenant household, for occupancy by persons who at time of application for tenancy are homeless, at -risk of homelessness, and/or military veterans, which terms and condit ions will be established by HACR, and the provisions in the later negotiated Disposition, Development and Affordable Housing Agreement (“AHA”) between the RBD and KDI limited partnership and the City and Housing Authority.
Developer intends to develop Legacy Ridge Project on the Site, and the City desires to issue to Developer the Site Control Award Letter with Option Agreement, with the HACR PBVs, if awarded, to be part of the Project financing, and later site control is necessary for the RBD and KDI limit ed partnership’s application to California Tax Credit Allocation 41 ID:26-0165 Page 3
Committee (“TCAC”) for a reservation of 4% tax credits, to be paired with an application to California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) for a bond allocation. Under the Award Letter and Option Agreement, the City grants an Option to RBD to acquire the Site for the construction, development, and operation of the Project.
Further, for informational purposes related to the Site Control Award Letter, the letter explains the City ’s (and H ousing Authority ) desire to later consider for approval a MoVal Funding Award Letter to provide an “enforceable financial commitment” to the RBD and KDI limited partnership to issue a residual receipts loan (“MoVal Loan”) for an estimated loan amount of up to Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($ 9,600,000.00), or an amount as may be determined by the completion of a financial gap analysis and set forth in the later, subsequent Funding Award Letter with funds estimated to be sourced f rom: (A) Authority’s low to moderate income housing asset fund (“LMIHAF”), ( B) Prohousing Investment Program funds (“PIP”), (C) City’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (“PLHA”) annual allocation and/or the City’s future supplemental funds deposited to PLHA account per the Settlement Agreement dated July 15, 2024 by and between the City of Moreno Valley and HCD ; and/or (D) other funding sources, plus, (ii) potential carry back financing of the purchase price for the Site at its appraised value established not less than 60 days prior to the limited partnership’s applications to TCAC and CDLAC, plus (iii) the cumulative fees, costs, and expenses incurred by MoVal, if any, for preparation of the Site for development as incurred during the period commencing on September 30, 2024 to the date of Closing of Financing, such as but not limited to environmental assessment, clearance or remediation (if any), engineering, economic analysis, and other consulting or professional services, but excluding in -house staff tim e, incurred during the period commencing on September 30, 2024 and ending on the date of the Closing of Financing.
Developer proposes to plan, design, construct, complete, and operate the Project, a new approximately 150-unit affordable senior housing development (148 rental units plus two on-site manager units).

There will be 135 standard and 25 van accessible on -site vehicular parking spaces. The Project will provide a robust , supportive, and social services package to the r esidents in partnership with the Developer’s service providers, with an emphasis on residents’ health and wellness.
The Award Letter with Option Agreement will facilitate sale of the Site for development and operation of the Project , will further the goals and objectives set forth in the City’s Housing Element of the General Plan, will achieve additional covenanted housing units to satisfy in part the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment obligation and allocation, and will impleme nt state law for continued development of affordable housing in the community.

(“Authority”), to later submit application(s) for (i) a reservation of 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (or 9%) from the California Tax Allocation Credit Committee (“TCAC”), and (ii) paired with its application to TCAC for 4% tax credits, Developer will apply to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) for an allocation and authorization to issue tax-exempt multifamily revenue housing bonds to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”). More specifically, Developer intends to first apply in “Round 3” for a TCAC reservation of 4% tax credits and to CDLAC for an allocation to issued tax exempt bonds paired with such credits. If not successful in Round 3, then Developer may submit one or more applications to TCAC and/or CDLAC during 2027 Rounds, and if successful will close construction financing by 2028.
4 Also, Developer, in cooperation with City, will apply to the City for the land use entitlement(s) (whether discretionary and/or ministerial) for construction and operation of the Legacy Ridge Project on the Site. The City's General Plan, already designates, and the Site is zoned, “R- 30” (30/DUA) for residential development. In connection with such land use entitlement, compliance and determination under CEQA underta ken, albeit it appears Legacy Ridge will qualify as an exempt “by right” project, 100% affordable housing under CEQA, and if applicable as an exclusion project under NEPA.
In addition, Developer intends to apply for funding sources at the federal and state level by end of 2027 and close construction financing by 2028 in compliance with HACR RFP No. 2026-001. City is informed by Developer that Developer intends to submit one or more applications for state and federal enforceable financial commitments from TCAC and CDLAC as described above and in footnote 4., and/or other or additional state or federal funding sources.
HACR does not require Developer to identify local level funding sources (such as HOME, PLHA, PIP), nonetheless, this Award Letter informs HACR that, subject to the award of PBVs by HACR, the City desires in a subsequent award letter (“MoVal Funding Award”) to be considered and acted on by the City Council (and Authority board) in their sole discretion, which if approved, will provide an enforceable financial commitment of funds through a subordinate, residual receipts loan as supplemental financing for development and operation of Legacy Ridge. The MoVal Funding Award, if approved, will authorize issuance of a “MoVal Loan”, the principal amount for which will be sourced from, and be comprised of:
(i) fair market value of Site with carry back financing, (ii) Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (“PLHA”) funds, either or both through City’s annual PLHA allocation or from PLHA funds deposited pursuant to the Settlement Agreement dated July 15, 2024 between the City and HCD, (iii) Prohousing Incentive Program (“PIP”) funds, and (iv) Authority’s low to moderate income housing asset fund (“LMIHAF”) for construction, development, and operation of Legacy Ridge Project.
4 The Project will be undertaken by a limit ed partnership to be formed by RBD, as administrative general partner, and Kingdom Development, Inc., a California nonprofit pu blic benefit corporation (“KDI”), as managing general partner, and the tax credit investor(s) as limited part ner. RBD and KDI are experienced in the construction, development, operation and management of high-quality hous ing in Southern California, including multiple affordable housing projects located in the City. T he new limited partnership entity when formed will be the “applicant” and “developer” in applications to TCAC, CDLAC, and County of Riverside.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Felicia London, Chief Financial Officer/City Treasurer
AGENDA DATE: April 21, 2026
TITLE: ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN PARCELS INTO CFD NO.
2014-01 (MAINTENANCE SERVICES) AND CFD NO.
2023-01 (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES) (REPORT OF:
FINANCIAL & MANAGEMENT SERVICES) (DISTRICT:
1, 2, 3)
TITLE SUMMARY: Pursuant to Landowner Petitions, Annex Certain Parcels into Community Facilities District No. 2014-01 (Maintenance Services) and Community Facilities District No. 2023-01 (Public Safety Services) (Reso No. 202 6-XX and Reso No. 2026-XX)
DISTRICT: Districts 1-3
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Acting as the legislative body of Community Facilities District No. 2014 -01 (Maintenance Services), adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX, a Resolution of the City Council of the City o f Moreno Valley, California, ordering the annexation of territory to City of Moreno Valley Community Facilities District No. 2014 -01 (Maintenance Services) and approving the amended maps for said District, for the specific propert ies as listed in the Discussion section of this staff report and as previously approved by the Landowner and certified by the City’s Election Official (Amendment No. 94 and 95).
2. Acting as the legislative body of Community Facilities District No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services), adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Moreno Valley, California, ordering the annexation of territory to the City of Moreno 79 ID: 26-0145 Page 2
Valley Community Facilities District, for the specific properties as listed in the Discussion section of this staff report and as previously approved by the Landowner and certified by the City's Election Official (Amendments Nos. 123, 148, 154-157, and 159-161).
SUMMARY
Adoption of the resolutions (Attachments 1 and 2) will order the annexation of a total of 14 parcels into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2014-01 (Maintenance Services) and Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services) (t he “Districts”). This action impacts only the property owners identified below, not the general citizens or taxpayers of the City.
DISCUSSION
As conditions of approval for the development projects, property owners are required to provide an ongoing funding source for certain public services (i.e., public street lighting, public landscape maintenance, streets and drainage maintenance services as well as public safety services ). The funding mitigates the costs of impacts created by the proposed development.
On March 25, 2014, pursuant to the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, the City Council formed CFD No. 2014 -01 (Maintenance Services) and on November 21, 2023, they formed CFD No. 2023 -01 (Public Safety Services) to provide alternative funding tools for the development community to mitigate the impact of their proposed development. Annexation into the Districts provides property owners a mechanism to fund public street lighting, landscape, and streets & drainage services and public safety services, through an annual special tax.
On April 20, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 980, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation area for CFD 2014 -01 and on March 5, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1007, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation area for CFD 2023-01. With the future annexation areas designated, annexations can occur without an additional public hearing as long as the annexing landowners provide unanimous consent.
A property owner has the following options to satisfy the development conditions requiring a funding source for certain public services:
1. Annex the territory into the applicable CFD(s). (This option is generally only available if there are fewer than 12 registered voters living within the proposed annexation area); or
2. Create a permanent, prefunded, and irrevocable endowment that will yield an annual revenue stream to meet the annual obligation and provide for the ongoing operational services.
CFD 2014 -01 also offers the option of establishing a homeowner or property owner 80 ID: 26-0145 Page 3
association to provide the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements.
If a landowner elects to annex their property into the Districts and the City Council approves the annexation(s), the City is authorized to levy special taxes onto the annual property tax bill to fund the services related to or impacted by their development.
The following property owners have elected to annex into the Districts to satisfy their condition(s) of approval:

The Office of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters confirmed there were less than 12 registered voters residing at each property, allowing a special election of the landowner.
Adoption of the attached resolutions (Attachments 1 and 2) amend each District and adds the property/properties, with a special tax rate based on property type, in the Fiscal Impact section of this report and directs the recordation of the boundary maps and amended notices of special tax lien for the amendments. The City Clerk received and reviewed the Landowner Petitions and confirmed the Property Owners unanimously approved the annexations of their property into the Districts (Attachment 3).
Successful completion of the annexation process satisfies the project’s conditions of approval requirements to provide a funding source for the operation and maintenance of public services including street lighting, landscaping, streets and drainage and public safety services.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the resolutions. Staff recommends this alternative as it will annex the property/properties into CFD No. 2014-01 and CFD 2023-01 at the request of the Property Owners and satisfy the conditions of approval for the proposed developments.
2. Do not adopt the resolutions. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it is contrary to the request of the Property Owners, will not satisfy the conditions of approval and may delay development of the projects.
3. Do not adopt the resolutions but rather continue the item to a future regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will delay the Property Owners from satisfying the condition of approval and may delay development of the projects.
82 ID: 26-0145 Page 5
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue received from the special taxes are restricted and can only be used to fund services within each District. The special tax can only be applied to a property tax bill of a parcel wherein the qualified electors (i.e., landowners or registered voters, depending upon the number of registered voters) have previously provided approval. The maximum special tax rate is detailed below. If the projected revenue from the maximum special tax exceeds what is necessary to fund the services, a lower amount will be applied to the property tax bill.

1The special tax applied to the property tax bill will be based on the needs of the District. The applied special tax rate cannot exceed the maximum special tax rate.
Final rates for CFD 2014-01 are subject to change upon final approved plans and/or conditions of approval.
The maximum special tax rates are subject to an annual inflation adjustment based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or five percent (5%), whichever is greater.
However, the annual adjustment cannot be applied unless the City Council annually authorizes such adjustment. The increase to the maximum special tax rates cannot exceed the annual inflationary adjustment without a two -thirds approval of the qualified electors.

Report to City Council
ID: 26-0144 Page 1
TO: Mayor and City Council Acting in its Capacity as
President and Members of the Board of Directors of
the Moreno Valley Community Services District (CSD)
FROM: Felicia London, Chief Financial Officer/City Treasurer
AGENDA DATE: April 21, 2026
TITLE: ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN PARCELS INTO CFD NO.
2021-01 (PARKS MAINTENANCE) (REPORT OF:
FINANCIAL & MANAGEMENT SERVICES) (DISTRICT:
1, 2, 3)
TITLE SUMMARY: Pursuant to Landowner Petitions, Annex Certain Parcels into Community Facilities District No. 2021 -01 (Parks
Maintenance) (Reso No. CSD 2026-XX)
DISTRICT: Districts 1-3
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. CSD 2026 -XX, a Resolution of Board for the Moreno Valley Community Services District of the City of Moreno Valley, California, ordering the annexation of t erritory to Moreno Valley Community Services District Community Facilities No. 2021 -01 (Parks Maintenance) and approving the amended maps for said District, for the specific properties as listed in the Discussion section of this staff report and as previously approved by the Landowner and certified by the City's Election Official (Amendment Nos. 302, 325, 331, 332, 334, and 336).
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution (Attachment 1) will certify the annexation of 8 parcels into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2021 -01 (Parks Maintenance) (“District”). This 120
ID: 26-0144 Page 2
action impacts only the property owners identified below, not the general citizens or taxpayers of the City.
DISCUSSION
As a condition of approval for development projects, the property owners are required to provide an ongoing funding source for maintenance of certain public facilities (e.g., parks).
The funding mitigates the cost of the impacts created by the proposed development.
On June 1, 2021, the CSD Board formed CFD No. 2021-01, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The District was created to provide the development community with an alternative funding tool to mitigate the impacts of their proposed development. If a property owner elects to annex the parcels of their development into the District, they also authorize the CSD annually levy a special tax, collected on the annual property tax bill, against property in the development project. Thus, satisfying the condition of approval.
On December 21, 2021, the CSD Board adopted Ordinance No. 56, which designated the entire territory of the City as a future annexation area for the District. With the future annexation area designated, annexations can occur without an additional public hea ring as long as the annexing landowner provides unanimous consent. Once annexed, parcels are subject to the annual special tax to fund the service they are receiving.
An applicant has two options to satisfy the condition(s) of approval:
1. The property o wner submits a Landowner Petition unanimously approving annexation of the property into the District. Approval of the petition and special tax rate allows the City to annually levy the special tax on the property tax bill of the property. This option is only available if there are fewer than 12 registered voters living within the proposed annexation area; or
2. The applicant funds an endowment in an amount sufficient to yield an annual revenue stream that meets the annual obligation and provides for the ongo ing operation and maintenance of park facilities.

The Property Owners listed above elected to annex their property into CFD No. 2021-01 and have the special tax applied to the ir annual property tax bill. The office of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters confirmed the number of registered voters residing at each property, allowing a special election of the landowner. Adoption of the resolution (Attachment 1) amends the District and adds the property to the tax rate area identified in the Fiscal Impact section of this report. The resolution also directs the recordation of the boundary maps (included within the resolution) and amended notice of special tax liens for the amendments. The Election Official confirmed the Property Owners unanimously approved the annexation of their property into the District (Attachment 2).
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the resolution. Staff recommends this alternative since it will annex the properties into CFD No. 2021 -01 at the request of the Property Owners and satisfy the condition of approval for the proposed developments.
2. Do not adopt the resolution. Staff does not recommend this alternative because it is contrary to the request of the Property Owners, will not satisfy the condition of approval, and may delay development of the projects.
3. Do not adopt the resolution but rather continue the item to a future regular scheduled City Council meeting. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will delay the Property Owners from satisfying the condition of approval and may delay development of the projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue received from the special tax is restricted and can only be used to fund the services for each tax rate area within the District. The special tax can only be applied to 122
ID: 26-0144 Page 4
a property tax bill of a parcel wherein the qualified electors (i.e., landowners or registered voters, depending upon the number of registered voters) have previously provided approval. If the projected revenue from the maximum special tax exceeds what is necessary to fund the services within the tax rate area, a lower amount will be applied to the property tax bill for all of the properties within the affected tax rate area. The maximum special tax rates are detailed below.

1The special tax applied to the property tax bill will be based on the needs of the District. The applied special tax rate cannot exceed the maximum special tax rate.
The maximum special tax rate is subject to an annual inflation adjustment based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or five percent (5%), whichever is greater.
However, the annual adjustment cannot be applied unless the CSD Board annually authorizes such adjustment. The increase to the maximum special tax rate cannot exceed the annual inflationary adjustment without a two -thirds approval of the qualified electors within the affected tax rate area.

TITLE: ACCEPT ONE -TIME 21ST CENTURY COMMUNITY
LEARNING CENTERS SUPPLEMENTAL GRANT
FUNDING FROM CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION FOR THE AFTER SCHOOL EDUCATION
AND SAFETY (ASES) PROGRAM (REPORT OF:
PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES) (DISTRICT: ALL
DISTRICTS)
TITLE SUMMARY: Acceptance of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Supplemental Grant Funding from California
Department of Education for the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program.
DISTRICT: All Districts
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council and CSD:
1. Accept the 21st Century Community Learning Centers supplemental one-time grant award in the amount of $2,700,000 from the California Department of Education for the enhancement of the existing After School Education and Safety Program (ASES);
2. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to enter into an agreement and any subsequent amendments with Think Together, Inc. for operation of the existing After 150
ID: 26-0132 Page 2
School Education and Safety (ASES) Program at the Moreno Valley Unified School District and Val Verde Unified School District grant approved sites; and issuance of associated Purchase Order once the Agreement has been fully executed; and
3. Approve budget adjustments as set forth in the Fiscal Impact section of this report.
SUMMARY
The City of Moreno Valley (City) received a Final Intent to Award notification on February 12, 2026 from the California Department of Education (CDE) identifying the City as a recipient of $2,700,000 in supplemental grant funding.
This 21st Century Community Lea rning Centers supplemental one-time grant will allow the City, in partnership with Think Together, Inc., Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD), and Val Verde Unified School District (VVUSD) , to enhance existing ASES programs by providing additional academic enrichment opportunities, physical activities, and evidence-based programs during non-school hours.
Funding will be used to strengthen existing after-school and supplemental learning programs in alignment with applicable federal and state program requirements.
BACKGROUND
In late 2025, the CDE released a Request for Applications for a one -time 21st Century Community Learning Centers supplemental funding opportunity, which was designed to enhance existing expanded learning programs serving the elementary and middle school students at Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD) and Val Verde Unified School District (VVUSD). The funding is intended to strengthen current programs by expanding in areas such as academic enrichment, tuto ring, mentoring, physical activity , and other evidence-based educational activities that support student success.
The City applied for this supplemental funding opportunity on behalf of 43 existing expanded learning program sites. Following the CDE review process, 18 sites were selected for funding based on each school's percentage of students eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Meals (FRPM). Of the funded sites, 5 are in VVUSD and 13 are in MVUSD. Each site was awarded $150,000, for a total award amount of $2,700,000.
In accordance with the program guidelines, applicants were invited to request funding to enhance services through existing After School Education and Safety (ASES) programs, with funds required to supplement rather than replace existing services.
On January 20, 2026, the City Council approved the transition of fiscal administration of the ASES program from the City of Moreno Valley to the Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD) and Val Verde Unified School District (VVUSD), effective July 01, 2026.
While the ASES program will transition to the school districts at the conclusion of the current program year, the City remains eligible to receive and administer certain expanded learning grant funds during the remaining grant performance period. 151
ID: 26-0132 Page 3
The grant performance period runs from July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 ; however, the City’s agreement with Think Together, Inc. extends only through June 30, 2026. As a result, grant funds administered to Think Together, Inc. must be expended during the term of the City’s agreement. The one -time supplemental grant funding described in this report will support enhancements to existing programming during this period in accordance with the California Department of Education requirements.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the recommendations as listed in this staff report. Staff recommends this alternative as it will allow for enhanced child care and development services to existing programs for school-age children.
2. Do not approve the recommendations as listed in this staff report. Staff does not recommend this alternative.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. In addition, no match is required. The ASES Grant is a State education funding source that is reimbursed based on eligible program expenditures and may only be used for allowable program and administrative costs. The Parks and Community Services Department wishes to establish revenue and expenditure budget appropriations for the grant term, in Fund 2202, ASES Grant Program, as outlined below:

Nothing herein shall be deemed or interpre ted to limit a CalPERS retiree’s obligations under applicable law, rules or regulations.
M. CalPERS Indemnity . To the fullest extent permitted by law, in addition to obligations set forth in this section, in the event that any person providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or CalPERS to be eligible for enrollment in CalPERS as an employee of the CSD, to the fullest extent of the law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CSD for any costs and expenses incurred by CSD, including without limitation, payment that CSD is required as a result to make to CalPERS, whether in the form of employee and/or employer contributions, taxes, or any similar obligations, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest.
N. CalPERS Participation. As set forth in this Agreement and in the Request for Qualifications, CSD has an obligation to treat all persons working for or under the direction of Contractor as an independent Contractor of CSD and agents and employees of Contractor, and not as agents or employees of CSD. Contractor and CSD acknowledge and agree that CSD participates in a defined benefit plan (“CalPERS”), and that it is possible that CalPERS may find that persons providing services pursuant to this Agreement are employees of CSD and sh ould be registered with the CalPERS as employees of CSD.
O. Civil Code Section 1542 Waiver. Contractor expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
This waiver shall be effective as a bar to any and all actions, fees, damages, losses, claims, liabilities and demands of whatsoever character, nature and kind that are known or unknown, or suspected or unsuspected, including, without limitation, claims of entitlements under CalPERS that are only afforded to employees and not independent contractors. Contractor further represents and warrants that it DRAFT
159
understands this waiver and that if it does not understand this waiver, it shall seek the advice of a qualified attorney before executing this Agreement.
P. Joint Cooperation . In the event that CalPERS initiates an inquiry that includes examination of whether individuals providing services under this Agreement to CSD are CSD’s employees, Contractor shall reply within five days and share all communications and documents from CalPERS that it may legally share. In the event that either Contractor or CSD files an appeal or court challenge, Contractor and CSD each agree to cooperate with each other in responding to the inquiry and any subsequent administrative app eal or court challenge of an adverse determination.
Q. Insurance Requirements. Throughout the life of this Agreement, Contractors shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required.
If at any time during the life of this Agreement or any extension, Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Contractor shall be withheld until notice is received by CSD that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to CSD. Any f ailure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CSD to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CSD pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase "fail to maintain any required insurance" shall include, without limitation, notification received by CSD that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify CSD shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.

SUMMARY
This report recommends approval of a Cooperative Agreement between the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), the City of Moreno Valley (City), and D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company, Inc. (Developer) to allow for the construction of storm drain facilities. As a condition of approval for PEN22 -0130 (Tentative Tract Map 38443) and PEN22 -0131 (Tentative Tract Map 38442), the Developer is required to construct public improvements necessary to provide flood protection and drainage associated with the proposed development. The Cooperative Agreement establishes the roles and responsibilities of the District, City, and Developer for the construction, inspection, and maintenance of master storm drain facilities, and provides for the allocation of applicable drainage fee credits.
DISCUSSION
On July 25, 2024, the Moreno Valley Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map 38443, a project to construct 135 single-family lots on approximately 30.0 acres through a Planned Unit Development (PUD), and on November 9, 2023, approved Tentative Tract Map 38442, a project to construct 108 single -family lots on 20.01 acres through a PUD.
The two developments are adjacent to each other, generally east of Nason Street between Cottonwood Avenue and Alessandro Boulevard.
A condition of approval for both PEN22-0130 (Tract Map 38443) and PEN22-0131 (Tract Map 38442), required the same master drainage plan facilities to be constructed to provide proper flood protection and drainage. The required storm dra in facility improvements include the construction of Moreno MDP – Line H, Stage 3, consisting of approximately 3,300 lineal feet of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) ranging in size from 48- inches to 78-inches in diameter and associated structures that connec t the City’s Cottonwood Avenue Desilting Basin to the District’s existing Moreno MDP – Line H, Stage 2 storm drain in Alessandro Boulevard. The District’s maintenance responsibility shall consist of Line H, Stage 3 mainline.
DR Horton, Los Angeles Holding Company, is the owner of both tracts , and for reasons of orderly development and economy of scale, processed one set of plans (LCO24-0028) for both projects. The Developer has prepared plans and specifications in accordance with the District and the City’s standards and received approval from the City and District.
To expedite delivery, the developer executed a right -of-entry and inspection agreement with the District, which provided for District inspection and thereby allowed the developer to begin construction of the drainage improvements.
The cooperative agreement establishes maintenance responsibilities for the respective parties. It formalizes the terms and conditions for District and City acceptance of the drainage improvements for operations and maintenance.
The developer has already posted Faithful Performance bonds and Labor and Material bonds for the improvement and executed an Agreement f or Public Improvements, as approved by the Public Works Director/City Engineer for PEN22-0130 and PEN22-0131.
The bonds will be held by the City until completion and acceptance of the storm drain 182

Installation of new and upgraded security systems
24-hour monitoring services
Preventive maintenance and emergency repairs
System troubleshooting and technical support
Leveraging the Sourcewell cooperative agreement allows the City to benefit from competitively solicited pricing, reduces administrative procurement time, and ensures access to a vetted and experienced service provider.
The proposed five -year agreement will provide continuity of ser vice, improve system reliability, and support the City’s ongoing commitment to safety and security across all City-owned facilities.

SUMMARY
The purpose of this City Council Public Hearing is to consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to: (a) approve the proposed 2024 General Plan Update, Associated Zoning Text and Atlas Amendment, and 2024 Climate Action Plan, known as the “MoVal 2040 Project,” (PEN25 -0020) and (b) certify the MoVal 2040 Project’s Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report (“2024 RFEIR”).
DISCUSSION
Proposed Project – MoVal 2040 Project
The Proposed Project, collectively known as “MoVal 2040 Project” (PEN25 -0020) consists of:
1. 2024 General Plan Update (“2024 GPU”), which is a comprehensive General Plan Update, that articulates a vision for the City’s growth over the next 20 years, which includes the implementation of five new General Plan land use designations consisting of Business -Flex, Corridor Mixed Use, Center Mixed Use, Downtown Center, and Highway Office/Commercial;
2. A 2024 Climate Action Plan (“2024 CAP”) that describes and d emonstrates how the City will comply with the State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction standards and goals and streamline environmental review of certain future development projects; and
3. Associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments to implement the land use policies and regulations, such as but not limited to zoning and development standards, and the goals and objectives set forth and described in the 2024 GPU.
MoVal 2040 Project’s CEQA Review
The City, acting as Lead Agency pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, prepared and circulated a 2024 Revised Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (“2024 RDEIR”) for public review and comment, and thereafter prepared the 2024 RFEIR which includes responses to comments and describes and analyzes the potential significant environmental impacts of the MoVal 2040 Project, and identifies ways that the potential significant environmental impacts of the MoVal 2040 Project can be avoided or significantly reduced or pre vented through an analysis of project alternatives and the imposition of mitigation measures, including those mitigation measures negotiated with the California Attorney General’s Office (“AGO”) in connection with the Statement of Decision, embodied in the Judgment and Writ issued on May 6, 2024 (“Court Ruling”), in Sierra Club v. The City of Moreno Valley, Case No.
CVRI2103300 (“CEQA Case”).
Planning Commission Recommendation
Initially, consideration of the MoVal 2040 Project (PEN25 -0020) and the 2024 RFEI R were scheduled for a Planning Commission Public Hearing on October 9, 2025, during a 237
ID: 26-0159 Page 3
Planning Commission regular meeting. However, due to the receipt of a letter from the AGO on October 7, 2025, regarding the proposed 2024 CAP and various air quality issues and mitigation measures, the City Attorney recommended that the Planning Commission continue the October 9th Planning Commission Public Hearing to provide staff sufficient time to respond to the various issues and mitigation measures addres sed in the AGO’s October 7th letter. As such, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (7 -0) to continue the October 9 th Planning Commission Public Hearing to the Planning Commission’s regular meeting, scheduled for October 23, 2025.
At the October 23 rd Planning Commission Public Hearing, after hearing a staff report, receiving public testimony and engaging in deliberation, the Planning Commission voted (6-1) to: (a) adopt Resolution No. 2025-14, recommending that the City Council adopt the Findings of Fac t, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations and certify the 2024 RFEIR for the MoVal 2040 Project (PEN25-0020); and (b) adopt Resolution No. 2025 -15, recommending that the City Council approve the MoVal 2040 Project (PEN25-0020).
Negotiations with California Attorney General’s Office
Following the Planning Commission’s October 7 th Public Hearing, the City Attorney, Assistant City Manager (Development) and the Community Development Director engaged in negotiations with the AGO regarding various issues raised in the October 7th AGO letter, which included the AGO’s initial concerns regarding the 2024 CAP, which the AGO subsequently acknowledged that the City adequately addressed. In addition to the October 7 th AGO letter, the City received a letter from the AGO, dated November 17, 2025, recommending incorporation of various air quality mitigation measures that the AGO opined were necessary to ensure compliance with the Court Ruling. Specifically, the AGO recommended the following mitigation measures for air quality impacts be applied to all logistic -type warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU, which exceed the minimal requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 98:
Setbacks: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall be located at least 1,000 feet from sensitive receptors.

Tree Coverage: All logistic warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall ensure that the project parking lots have at least 35 percent of the tree shade cover within 15 years of commencement of operations.
Air Filtration Abatement Fund: The City shall create an abatement fund for subsidizing air filtration and/or HVAC systems for residents within 1,000 feet of any warehouse or truck route, thereby abating air quality impacts for the most impacted sensitive receptors. The City may c hoose to administer the abatement fund or designate its administration to a third party which may require an additional 10 percent administrative fee. All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU 238

Yard Equipment: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall use 100% ZEV for forklifts, yard trucks, and other on-site equipment. Idling Limits: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall have signage noting a 3 -minute idling limit and include the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) complaint line to submit idling complaints. Construction Equipment and Operations: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall take steps to control construction emissions, including using zero emission construction equi pment where feasible, and requiring facility operators to provide charging equipment for electric construction equipment to facilitate their use. However, where zero -emission equipment is infeasible, the facility shall use equipment certified to CARB Tier 4 and use of low-polluting fuels (e.g., low NO X diesel). All construction equipment idling shall be limited to 3 minutes and all smaller equipment, including hand tools and power washers, shall be zero emission. In addition, grading operations shall be pro hibited on days with an Air Quality Index greater than 100.
Generators: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall be prohibited from using diesel except for emergencies.
Worker Transit Programs: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall provide workers with secure bike storage facilities with outlets for e-bikes and on-site meals or lunch shuttle programs. Facilities shall also provide workers with transit route information and incentives to carpool, such as dedicated carpo ol parking spaces. Facilities over 400,000 square feet shall maintain a lounge for truck operators with amenities including restrooms, vending machines, and air 239
ID: 26-0159 Page 5
conditioning to reduce the need for additional truck trips to find these services elsewhere.
Worker Training Programs: All warehouse projects developed under the 2024 GPU shall implement training programs for managers and employees on efficient scheduling and load management to minimize truck queuing and idling.
In light of the foregoing, the City and the AGO, as parties to the CEQA Case, proceeded to engage in negotiations over the subject mitigation measures, which concluded in April 2026. As negotiated with the AGO, all of the above mitigation measures were added to the Mitigation Monitoring and R eporting Program (“MMRP”) of the 2024 RFEIR.
Specifically, Mitigation Measure AQ -5 of the MMRP has been enhanced to include additional design, construction, and operational requirements for logistics use developments developed under the 2024 GPU, as negoti ated with the AGO. The negotiated mitigation measures added to Mitigation Measure AQ -5, which include Mitigation Measures AQ-5a through AQ-5b, will not result in any new significant impacts identified in the 2024 RFEIR, nor will they create any new or more severe impacts.
Moreover, the additions to Mitigation Measure AQ-5, as negotiated with the AGO, do not rise to the level of significant new information in that they have all been adequately addressed in the 2024 RFEIR in a manner that did not necessitate recirculation of the 2024 RDEIR.
Attached to this Staff Report is a Matrix that identifies the air quality -related mitigation measures requested by the AGO . The Matrix also indicates how staff proposes each mitigation measure be implemented, and any differences between the two. It is important to note that all mitigation measures meet and/or exceed the basic requirements of both Assembly Bill 98 and Senate Bill 415. The negotiated mitigation measures, as described in the Matrix, have been memorialized in the context of the attached proposed ordinance, which will amend Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) of the Moreno Valley Municipal Code by adding a new chapter titled “ Logistics Use Facilities Mitigation Measures .” Once the ordinance takes effect, it will a pply prospectively to all logistic -type facilities approved under the newly amended General Plan, as required by law and negotiated with the AGO.
The attached ordinance will be presented to both the Planning Commission and the City Council in the context of duly noticed public hearings. As required by State law, the City will provide at least 20 days’ advanced notice of the Planning Commission Public Hearing and ten days ’ advanced notice of the City Council Public Hearing. If the City Council approves the staff’s recommendation on April 21, 2026, as described in this staff report, the plan is to present the Logistics Use Facilities Mitigation Measures Ordinance to the Planning Commission on May 14, 2026, for a recommendation to the City Council, and thereafter it will be presented to the City Council on May 26, 2026, assuming that the Planning Commission takes action on the Ordinance at its May 26, 2026, Public Hearing.
In light of the foregoing this will provide the public and interested parties with at least 39 days (commencing April 17, 2026, through May 26, 202) too review, inspect and comment on the mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, as set forth in the attached Logistics Use Facilities Mitigation Measures Ordinance.
Assembly Bill 98 – Circulation Element Amendment
240
ID: 26-0159 Page 6
On September 29, 2024, the Governor signed AB 98 into law. AB 98, in part, requires that General Plan Circulation Elements of the jurisdictions located within the Warehouse Concentration Region, established by AB 98, be update d by January 1, 2026. The purpose of the amendment is to identify and establish specific truck routes in order to safely accommodate logistics warehouse truck traffic which avoid sensitive receptors, and maximize the use of interstate or State divided high ways, or maximize use of arterial roads, major thoroughfares, and predominantly commercially -oriented local streets. AB 98 describes “sensitive receptors” to include the following: (1) a residence, including, but not limited to, a private home, apartment, condominium unit, group home, dormitory unit, or retirement home; (2) a school, including, but not limited to, a preschool, prekindergarten, or school maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive; (3) a daycare facility, including, but not limited to, in -home daycare; (4) publicly owned parks, playgrounds, and recreational areas or facilities primarily used by children, excepting parks and recreation areas included as a condition of approval for the logistics use development; (5) nursing hom es, long-term care facilities, hospices, convalescent facilities, or similar live-in housing; and (6) hospitals, as defined in Section 128700 of the Health and Safety Code.
The AGO is aware of the City’s plan to defer the amendment of the 2024 GPU’s Circulation Element, as mandated by AB 98, to a later date which will coincide with the proposed adoption of a new truck route map that includes the elimination of a multitude of truck routes that do not currently comply with the “truck route” provisions of AB 9 8.
Consistent with the community engagement provisions of AB 98, staff has in part presented the proposed truck route changes at community “pop-up events” in November 2025, during meetings of the Traffic Safety Commission and Planning Commission, and individual meetings with representatives of the City’s two School Districts and various community groups and non -profit organizations. Staff has also dispatched letters to various local social organizations, the Chambers of Commerce and local Tribes offering to provide presentations on the proposed truck route changes at their respective governing body meetings. In addition, staff has created a page on the City’s website that includes background information, an interactive truck route map, a public comments link and a list of Frequently Asked Questions.
It is anticipated that once sufficient community engagement has been completed, staff will be presenting the requisite amendment to the Circulation Element concurrently with an ordinance adopting the official changes to the City’s current truck route map. 2021 GPU
In 2019, the City Council authorized staff to prepare a comprehensive update to the City’s 2006 General Plan, which included adding two new State -mandated General Plan Elements and preparing various associated documents, including but not limited to a Climate Action Plan.
The City retained Dyett & Bhatia (D&B), an urban planning consulting firm based in California, to prepare the comprehensive General Plan Update (“2021 GPU”) and related documents, fo r the City’s review, consideration and approval, which included collaborating with City staff and various City consultants, the City’s former General Plan 241
ID: 26-0159 Page 7
Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, the City Council, community stakeholders and the general public for their input and perspectives regarding the City’s future as a vibrant, engaging, productive, healthy and safe community. In summary, D&B provided the City with technical advice and assistance in the areas of zoning, environmental review and com munity engagement, which included: 1) stakeholder and public outreach; 2) visioning; 3) identifying community issues and goals; 4) preparing an existing conditions analysis, 5) preparing all necessary background and baseline reports; 6) analyzing project alternatives; 7) preparing a Program EIR which included updating the text, statistics, tables, maps and graphics for each General Plan Element (“2021 DEIR”); and 8) drafting the necessary fiscal reports related to any recommended actions.
In June 2021, the City Council approved and adopted the City’s 2021 GPU and associated Zone Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments, along with a 2021 Climate Action Plan (“2021 GPU Project”), based on its concurrent approval and certification of a Final Program EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2020039022) (“2021 FEIR”).
2021 CEQA Case and Court Ruling
On October 28, 2021, a Petition for Writ of Mandate was filed against the City by the Sierra Club in Riverside County Superior Court. The Sierra Club challenged the validity of the 2021 CAP and the 2021 FEIR (CEQA Case). In addition, on June 21, 2022, the AGO intervened in the case, and on July 11, 2022, filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate-in- Intervention. On March 5, 2024, the Court issued the Court Ruling, which granted the petition, a lbeit the scope of the Court Ruling was limited to the issues of 1) baseline (existing conditions analysis), 2) air quality, 3) climate change ( GHG emissions), and 4) energy use. What is significant, however, is that the Court Ruling flatly rejected and denied the Sierra Club’s arguments regarding the issues of land use analysis and zoning.
Specifically, the Court Ruling identified that the 2021 FEIR was deficient for the following reasons:
Baseline: The baseline used in the 2021 FEIR failed to describe the 2021 GPU Project’s environmental impacts as they existed at the time that the notice of preparation of the 2021 DEIR was published;
Air Quality: The Air Quality section failed to compare the 2021 GPU Project’s environmental impacts against existing conditions and instead compared them to assumed impacts under the 2006 General Plan, which the Court opined that it understated the impacts of the 2021 GPU Project;
Energy: The Energy section failed to compare the 2021 GPU Project’s environmental impacts against existing conditions and instead compared them to assumed impacts under the 2006 General Plan, which the Court opined that it understated the impacts of the 2021 GPU Project; and
GHG Emissions : The GHG emissions section failed to include mitigation measures, relying instead on an inadequate 2021 CAP, which the Court opined that it failed to comply with requirements of the CEQA Guidelines. 242
ID: 26-0159 Page 8
In response to the Court Ruling, in May 2024, the City Council set aside its 2021 GPU Project approvals and its prior ce rtification of the 2021 FEIR, subject to keeping the October 2022 Housing Element intact and operative. The adoption of Resolution No. 2022-67 in October 2022, approving the City's current Housing Element, was not subject to any legal challenge. Although t he Sierra Club directly attacked the adequacy of the City’s Housing Element, it did not challenge the version approved in October 2022.
MoVal 2040 Project
The City retained Kimley-Horn and Rincon Consultants to prepare the 2024 RDEIR and the 2024 CAP for the MoVal 2040 Project, and to incorporate any necessary provisions in the 2024 GPU and 2024 CAP currently mandated by State law, and all revisions mandated by the Court Ruling.
The 2024 GPU is one of three separate documents that comprise the MoVal 2040 Project; the other two documents include the 2024 GPU’s Associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments and 2024 CAP. The 2024 GPU incorporates changes to the policy framework and land use designations of the existing 2006 General Plan to guide development and conservation through 2040 and to comply with all applicable new State laws; it also included redlined revisions mandated by the Court Ruling. The Associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments are necessary for implementing the land use policies and regulations set forth and described in the 2024 GPU, such as but not limited to zoning and development standards, and the goals and objectives set forth and described in the 2024 GPU.
Goals of the 2024 GPU include:
Responding to changes in the City’s demographic and economic circumstances. Incorporating previously adopted amendments to the 2006 General Plan and associated zone text and Zoning Atlas amendments.
Addressing new State legislation signed into law since the 2021 GPU was adopted. Identifying additional residential capacity to comply with the Housing Element requirements recently mandated by State law, including the requirements of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
Ensuring that the City complies with requirements of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
Creating added flexibility for new businesses within the City. Implementing the vision for the City of Moreno Valley that was articulated by residents, other interested parties, and the City Council during the public outreach and community engagement activities and events.
The land use concept areas presented in the 2024 GPU include the following:
A new Downtown Center with a large central park was created to implement the City’s vision of a vibrant downtown at the heart of the City to serve as a focal point for the community. This Downtown Center will allow for a mix of uses to create the setting for business, entertainment, residential, cultural, and civic uses, making the Downtown Center an activity hub during daytime and evening hours. 243
ID: 26-0159 Page 9
Center Mixed Uses were developed around the Moreno Valley Mall and the District shopping areas to expand the City’s housing opportunities and provide for the addition of appropriate commercial uses.
Corridor Mixed Uses were developed to encourage mixed u ses along corridors such as Perris Boulevard, including added residential to expand the City’s housing opportunities and to help meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) obligation as well as to encourage activity in commercial areas. The Business Flex area consists of business park and commercial uses created to ensure that uses in the Airport Land Use Commission Plan area comply with ALUC requirements.
Highway/Office Commercial was developed to enhance the existing office zone north of the SR-60 around Moreno Beach Drive and Redlands Boulevard. Residential Density Increases were planned for in additional designated areas in order to help the City meet RHNA requirements and provide additional housing opportunities in compliance with AB 686, signed into law in 2018 (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing) which mandates increasing housing choice and opportunity.
Highlights of other 2024 GPU Elements include:
Circulation: Actions include planning to maximize the benefit to the public of new transportation technology, and implementing pilot programs to leverage new transportation technology.
Economic Development: Policies include focusing business attraction efforts on emerging industries, actively promoting Moreno Valley’s assets to position the City as a destination, and promoting and supporting recreational, sporting, cultural, and entertainment events in and around Moreno Valley.
Parks and Public Services: Actions include prioritizing the creation of parks and designing the multi -use trail net work to connect parks, plazas and open spaces within the community.
Healthy Communities : Policies include promoting broad awareness of the recreation opportunities offered in Moreno Valley and promoting public spaces that foster positive human interaction and healthy lifestyle.
The 2024 GPU and associated documents can be viewed at: https://www.moreno- valley.ca.us/cdd/documents/about-projects.html under the heading Moreno Vall ey 2040 Project.
The 2024 CAP acts as an evolving guide to help the City build upon existing efforts to reduce GHG emissions in accordance with the community’s and State of California’s aligned climate goals. The 2024 CAP establishes measures and actions s pecifically 244
ID: 26-0159 Page 10
designed to reduce Moreno Valley’s communitywide GHG emissions in line with the State’s goal of reducing GHG emission levels by 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 32 (2016). These measures and actions also guide t he City in making substantial progress with reducing community-wide GHG emissions to carbon neutrality by 2045, consistent with the State’s 2045 goal pursuant to AB 1279 (2022). The measures and actions emphasize practical, measurable, and time -bound strat egies, providing a framework that can be implemented, monitored and adjusted to best serve the community.
By aligning with the State’s GHG emissions reduction goals and meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), the 2024 CAP analyzes and mitigates the GHG emissions at a programmatic level and provides CEQA GHG emissions analysis streamlining. The 2024 CAP also meets the requirements of the 2024 RDEIR and 2024 RFEIR and is intended to help guide the community towards proactive, long-term investments that will result in sustainable economic development and carbon neutrality in the City. It’s widely recognized in the State of California that the ability to reach carbon neutrality at the local and State levels will require additional legislation, funding, and technological advancements. As required in the 2024 CAP, future CAP updates will reference regulation updates and additional policies to further address GHG emissions reduction beyond 2030 and prepare the community to achieve the 2045 carbon neutrality target.
In summary, the 2024 CAP, as mandated under State law, describes and demonstrates how the City will comply with the State’s GHG emission reduction standards and goals and presents the opportunity to streamline environmental r eview of certain future development projects; the 2024 CAP also includes redlined revisions mandated by the Court Ruling.
As discussed above, in the AGO’s October 7, 2025 letter, the AGO had some initial concerns regarding the 2024 CAP, which the AGO subse quently acknowledged that the City adequately addressed.
The Climate Action Plan can be found at the following link:
https://www.moreno-
valley.ca.us/cdd/pdfs/projects/mv2040/MoValClimateActionPlan- Final.pdf Zoning consistency with the General Plan is a requirement of State law and zoning must be changed to re-establish consistency “within a reasonable time” upon adoption of a new General Plan Land Use Element (Government Code Section 65860(c)). The Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation suggests that when possible, general plan amendments and related zoning changes should be considered simultaneously.
The MoVal 2040 Project’s associated Zone Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments will implement the newly established 2024 GPU zoning designations. Towards this end, the following new zoning designations have been developed:
DC - Downtown Center
COMU - Corridor Mixed Use
CEMU - Center Mixed Use
245
ID: 26-0159 Page 11
B-F - Business Flex
H O/C - Highway Office/Commercial
A list of permitted uses and development regulations associated with the new zoning designations has been developed consistent with the 2024 GPU policies and vision for each zoning designation. Generally, the zoning designations presented allow for mixed commercial and residential uses. The Business Flex and Highway Office/Commercial zones do not include residential uses, and the Business Flex zone is the only new zone to permit business park/light industrial uses.

California Government Code Section 65300 et seq. mandates that all counties and cities prepare a general p lan that establishes policies and standards for future development, housing affordability, and resource protection. State law encourages cities to keep general plans current through periodic updates. The 2040 GPU includes an update to the 2006 General Plan that will guide future land use decisions in the City, provide a long - term vision for the City, and provide policies and implementing actions that will allow the City to achieve this vision through 2040, the lif e of the General Plan. The 2024 GPU will be the primary policy document guiding growth and development within the City through the planning horizon year of 2040. Together with the Zoning Ordinance and related sections of the Municipal Code, the 2024 GPU will serve as the basis for planning-related decisions made by City staff, the Moreno Valley Planning Commission, and the Moreno Valley City Council.
A General Plan must include eight (8) mandated elements: Land Use; Circulation; Housing; Conservation; Open Space; Noise; Safety; and Environmental Justice. State law mandates that certain elements of the General Plan be updated as set forth below. Land Use Element
The purpose of the Land Use Element is to designate the type, intensity, and general distribution of uses of land for housing, business, industry, open space, education, public buildings and grounds, waste disposal facilities, and other categories of public and private uses.
246
ID: 26-0159 Page 12
Circulation Element
The purpose of the Circulation Element is to identify the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities in a manner that correlates with the Land Use Element.
As a result of the passage of Senate Bill 74 3, signed into law in 2013, the Circulation Element must include metrics for traffic impact analyses based on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) methodology which has replaced the Level of Service (LOS) methodology that was the former standard used to evaluate a nd analyze traffic impacts. SB 932, signed into law in 2022, requires the incorporation of the principles of the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe System Approach.
Additionally, it requires the development of bicycle plans, pedestrian plans, and traffic calming plans based on the policies and goals in the Circulation Element that, among other things, sets goals for initiation and completion of all actions identified in the plans within 25 years of the date of adoption of the modified Circulation Element.
AB 98 also requires jurisdictions within the State’s designated Warehouse Concentration Regions, which includes the City of Moreno Valley, to update their Circulation Elements by January 1, 2026, to identify and establish designated truck routes for the movement of goods. AB 98 specifies that routes should avoid residential areas and sensitive receptors, maximize use of interstates, highways, and arterials, and include conspicuous signage for truck routes, truck parking, and truck idling restrictions. Whe re a truck route cannot avoid a residential area or sensitive receptor, the jurisdiction must adopt mitigation measures to minimize impacts. Jurisdictions must also provide truck route maps in GIS format and condition approvals for logistics uses on compli ance with warehouse design standards, housing replacement, air quality monitoring, and truck routing requirements. As discussed above, the AGO is aware of the City’s plan to defer the amendment of the 2024 GPU’s Circulation Element, as mandated by AB 98, to a later date which will coincide with the proposed adoption of a new truck route map that includes the elimination of a multitude of truck routes that do not currently comply with the “truck route” provisions of AB 98.
Housing Element
The purpose of the Housing Element is to assess current and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community, including low -income households and those households with special needs. In addition, the Housing Element embodies policies for providing adequate housing and includes action programs for that purpose. By statute, the Housing Element must be updated every, five or eight years, according to a schedule set by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Moreno Valley’s Housing Element (which is currently in effect) was certified by the Department on October 11, 2022, and garnered the City the distinguished 247
ID: 26-0159 Page 13
designation as a “Prohousing Jurisdiction.” The Housing Element presents a plan for accommodating Moreno Valley’s share of the regiona l housing need through 2029, projected by the State of California to be 13,595 new homes. The deadline for the next Housing Element is October of 2029. Again, the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-67 in October 2022, approving the City's current Housing Elem ent, was not subject to any legal challenge. Although the Sierra Club directly attacked the adequacy of the City’s Housing Element, it did not challenge the version approved in October 2022.
Conservation Element
The purpose of the Conservation Element is t o address the conservation, development, and use of natural resources, including water, forests, soils, rivers, and mineral deposits.
Open Space Element
The purpose of the Open Space Element is to detail plans and measures for the long–range preservation a nd conservation of open –space lands, including open space for the preservation of natural resources, the managed production of resources, agriculture, outdoor recreation, and public health and safety. Noise Element
The purpose of the Noise Element is to identify and appraise noise problems within the community which forms the basis for land use distribution determinations. Safety Element
The purpose of the Safety Element is to establish policies and programs to protect the community from risks associated wi th seismic, geologic, flood, and wildfire hazards, as well as from other concerns such as drought.
SB 379, signed into law in 2015, requires that upon revision of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan on or after January 1, 2017, the General Plan’s Safety Element must be updated to consider and address flood hazards, wildfire hazards, and hazard mitigation. Moreno Valley’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was last updated in July 2025.
Environmental Justice Element
The purpose of the Environmental Justice Element is t o identify objectives and policies to reduce pollution exposure, improve air quality, promote public facilities, improve food access, advance access to housing, and increase physical activity in identified disadvantaged communities.
Environmental Justice became a mandatory element under SB 1000, signed into law in 2016. SB 1000 requires that as of January 2018, California cities with 248
ID: 26-0159 Page 14
disadvantaged communities are mandated to incorporate environmental justice policies into their General Plans either by adopt ing an Environmental Justice Element, or by integrating Environmental Justice goals and policies into the other elements of their General Plans upon concurrent adoption or revision of two or more elements.
The General Plan must be internally consistent to ensure that all the mandatory elements are integrated and compatible. There should be no policy conflicts between the elements of the General Plan and all elements of the General Plan shall have equal legal status.
Basically, the concept of internal consis tency ensures that the General Plan will be effective and provide the community with a clear understanding of the future development plans of the community. Moreover, as a General Law City, the City is required to make specific findings that all land use e ntitlements considered by staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council are consistent with the applicable policies of the General Plan.
Failure to comply with statutory requirements related to the General Plan could result in a court compelling ado ption and/or injunctions limiting approval of subdivision maps, rezoning, public works projects, or even the issuance of building permits (State of California 2017 General Plan Guidelines p. 258).
In addition to above regulatory mandates that apply to the General Plan Elements, General Plans must be consistent with any applicable Airport Land Use Compatibility (ALUC) Plans. This has been addressed through consultation with the local Airport Land Use Commission staff and the local Airport Land Use Commission.
Public Outreach and Engagement
Significant community public outreach and engagement activities and events were conducted during the development of the 2021 GPU. Additionally, input from a variety of outside agencies was received including the Board of Fo restry regarding the Safety Element, and the Airport Land Use Commission. City staff at all levels were actively involved in document preparation, review, and finalization.
Prior to commencing work on the 2021 GPU in 2019, a series of public outreach and engagement activities and events were conducted. The public outreach and engagement activities included, but were not limited to, the following:
Posting video on social media informing the community of the upcoming 2021 GPU.
Disseminating flyers at the City ’s public counter and throughout the community’s three library branches, grocery stores, coffee shops, bookstores, physical fitness facilities, etc.).
Holding pop-up events throughout the City, including booths at the City’s Snow Day, Hound Town event, the City’s Senior Center, Moreno Valley Mall, Moreno Valley College, and a Census event held at the Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center.
Interviewing designated stakeholders.
Conducting public workshops (four in person, one online) which included the public 249
ID: 26-0159 Page 15
scoping meeting which was held during the Notice of Preparation review period. Holding six General Plan Advisory Committee meetings that were all open to the public.
Conducting two online surveys.
Providing a presentation for the Planning Commission. Providing two presentations to the City Council.
Preparing Executive Summaries of the 2021 GPU in both English and Spanish, which were made available at the City’s three public library branches and on the City’s website.
Dispatching email blasts to th e General Plan’s interest list on a regular basis to inform interested parties of the progress of the General Plan update. Consulting with local Tribes in 2024 and 2025, as mandated by CEQA.
With respect to the MoVal 2040 Project, the objective was to limi t revisions to the 2021 GPU, 2021 CAP and 2021 RFEIR in a manner consistent with the Court Ruling and the air quality mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, which exceed the basic mandates of AB 98, but are wholly consistent with the Court Ruling and have been adequately analysis in the 2024 RFEIR.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The 2024 RDEIR was prepared for the MoVal 2040 Project and circulated for the State mandated 45-day public review period, commencing July 14, 2025, through August 21, 2025. The 2024 RDEIR was sent to all required State and local agencies, interested parties, and those who commented on the Notice of Preparation, consistent with the requirements of the CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and was posted on the City’s website. The Notice of Availability was published in the Press-Enterprise Newspaper, and the 2024 RDEIR was posted to the State CEQA Clearinghouse for electronic distribution to State agencies and public viewing.
The 2024 RDEIR identifies that the MoVal 2040 Project will result in environment al impacts. Mitigation measures are included to reduce the level of environmental impacts.
A summary of impacts, level of significance, and relevant mitigation measures is outlined below:
Agricultural Resources: The MoVal 2040 Project would have the potent ial to impact Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance or Unique Farmland to non -farming uses and result in indirect conversion of potential farmland resources to non -agricultural uses. No feasible mitigation exists, and impacts would remain signif icant and unavoidable.
Air Quality: Impacts on air quality would be significant and unavoidable in regard to impacts to air quality plans, ambient air quality standards, and sensitive receptors.
Impacts would remain significant and unavoidable with implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1, AQ-2, AQ-3, AQ4, and AQ-5a through AQ-5d.
Biological Resources: The MoVal 2040 Project would have the potential to impact sensitive species, riparian habitats, and wetlands. Mitigation was proposed (BIO -1 and 250
ID: 26-0159 Page 16
BIO-2), but impacts were determined to remain significant and unavoidable.
Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources: The MoVal 2040 Project would have the potential to impact historic resources, archaeological resources, human remains, and cultural and Tribal cultural resources. Mitigation was proposed (CUL-1, CUL-2, CUL-3, CUL-4, CUL-5, CUL-6, CUL-7, CUL-8, CUL-9, CUL-10, and CUL-11); however, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Impacts to greenhouse gas emissions would be significant and unavoidable in regard to GHG emissions and GHG plans. Implementation of mitigation measures GHG-1 and GHG -2 and adoption of the 2024 CAP would reduce impacts to less than significant.
Noise: Impacts to noise would be significant and unavoidable in regard to traffic noise, construction noise, and construction -related vibration. The MoVal 2040 Project would implement mitigation measures NOS-1 and NOS-2. Impacts to construction noise would remain significant and unavoidable in regard to construction noise with implementation of mitigation measure NOS-1. Implementation of mitigation measure NOS -2 would reduce construction-related vibration impacts to a level less than significant.
Transportation: Impacts on vehicle miles traveled would be significant and unavoidable.
The 2024 RFEIR was prepared after the conclusion of the review period for the 2024 RDEIR and includes responses to all public comments received during the review period which can be reviewed at the following locations:

https://www.moreno-valley.ca.us/cdd/pdfs/projects/mv2040/AppD-updated.pdf In cases where impacts cannot be reduced to less than significant levels, CEQA allows the Lead Agency to consider adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Findings (SOC). CEQA requires that, in order to approve a project that has significant unmitigated environmental impacts, the Lead Agency must adopt an SOC which demonstrates that the Lead Agency has balanced e conomic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental impacts.
This would include project benefits such as creation of jobs or other desired beneficial 251

project features versus project impacts th at cannot be feasibly mitigated to less than significant levels. If the Lead Agency determines benefits of a proposed project outweigh its unavoidable adverse environmental effects, it may adopt an SOC and approve the project. The SOC prepared for the MoVa l 2040 Project provides specific documentation of economic benefits the MoVal 2040 Project provides, including annual taxes, job creation and roadway infrastructure improvements.
Incidentally, the 2024 RFEIR includes the revisions made to the 2021 FEIR, t hat represent minor changes to the Project Description, changes or additions in response to comments received on the 2024 RDEIR, edits to provide clarification, revisions mandated by the Court Ruling, and additions memorializing the air quality mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO. These revisions are shown with strikethrough text for deletions and double underline text for additions.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Conduct a public hearing providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the applications received for projects for the PY 2026/27 Annual Action Plan and provide an opportunity for the City Council to review the project applications. Staff recommends this alternative as it will allow the grant funds to be allocated and approved within HUDs requirements.
2. Do Not conduct a public hearing providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the applications received for the PY 2026/27 Annual Action Plan, and NOT provide an opportunity for City Council to review the project applications.
Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will not allow the grant funds to be allocated and approved within HUDs requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Expenses for these programs are reimbursed by the Federal grants. The ESG program requires a 100% match that the City requires its ESG subrecipients to meet. Based on the recommended actions, there is no impact on the General Fund.
