Western Riverside County MSHCP Fee Collection for December 2025 and January 2026;
Joint Project Review Status;
Acquisition Status;
Monthly Investment for December 2025 and January 2026; Consultant Reports Fiscal Year 2026 Second Quarter; and State and Federal Legislative Update.
Staff provided an update on Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Local Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF), TUMF, and proposed Budget adjustments.
Additionally, Historical Performance data charts of TUMF and LDMF by fiscal year and quarter were provided. LDMF fee schedule automatically adjusts each July 1st by the increase in CPI.

Further, the Board received a presentation on the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan 2024 Annual Report.
The presentation highlighted the following:
2024 Acquisitions, 2,409 acres acquired, and 70,502 acres acquired between inception of the MSHCP through 2024;

45 22
Staff recommended the Board of Directors to receive and file the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan 2024 Annual Report.
The Board also received a presentation on the Interstate 15 (I-15) Rainbow Canyon Wildlife Crossing Update planning project which is located on I-15 at the Riverside-San Diego County line. The roadway acts as an almost impenetrable barrier to wildlife movement, severing the Santa Ana-Palomar Mountains linkage that is essential for the long-term viability of wide-ranging species, particularly mountain lions. Recent genetic analysis of mountains lions indicates significant genetic restriction and minimal evidence of movement of individual mountain lions between the Santa Ana Mountains and Peninsular Range to the east.
The I-15 Rainbow Canyon Wildlife Crossing is vital to the success of the MSHCP reserve system by aiding connectivity and helping protect a variety of covered species. RCA staff will continue to support the effort by participating in a committee with various stakeholders to assist with the planning process. The RCA and conservation partners have been working on and will continue to acquire and protect habitat on both sides of I-15 to ensure that wildlife, and critically, mountain lions, have a connected network of protected habitats.

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 demonstrates 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.
At the April 21 City Council Public Hearing, the City Council took the following actions:
1. Adopted Resolution No. 2026-19, approving and adopting the Findings of Fact, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Certifying the 2024 Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report of the MoVal 2040 Project;
2. Adopted Resolution No. 2026-20, approving the 2024 General Plan Update and 2024 Climate Action Plan; and
3. Introduced (First Reading) Ordinance No. 2026 -1042, approving Associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments
The proposed action involves the passage and adoption (Second Reading) of Ordinance No. 1042 which amends the text of Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) of the Moreno Valley Municipal Code and the City’s official Zoning Atlas to ensure that the text of Title 9 and the zoning designations depicted in the Zoning Atlas are consistent with the land use policies and regulations set forth and described in the 2024 General Plan Update, which the City Council approved by Resolution No 2026-20 on April 21, 2026.
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 Sect ion 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 Amen dments will implement the newly established 2024 GPU zoning regulations and designations.
Towards this end, the following new zoning designations have been developed:
68 ID: 26-0185 Page 3
DC - Downtown Center
COMU - Corridor Mixed Use
CEMU - Center Mixed Use
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.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Conduct Second Reading and Pass and Adopt Ordinance No. 1042, by title only, adopting the associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments to implement the land use policies and regulations set forth and described in the 2024 General Plan Update approved by the City Council . ( Staff recommends this alternative since State law requires consistency between the City’s General Plan and the City’s Municipal Code and Zoning Atlas.)
2. Do not Pass and Adopt Ordinance No. 1042. (Staff DOES NOT recommend this alternative since State law requires consistency between the City’s General Plan and the City’s Municipal Code and Zoning Atlas.)
3. Direct staff to make any recommended changes approved by a majority vote of the City Council. (Staff DOES NOT recommend this alternative because it will cause further delay which wil l create uncertainty for the public and other stakeholders regarding future development proposals, plus the City Council retains the right to make necessary amendments in the future.)
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the recommended action.

Notes:
* Further restrictions/regulations per the 2014 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), which include prohibited uses, restricted heights, and restricted FARs. The Business-Flex (BF) District is comprised of portions of the B1, B2, and C1 zones in said plan.
B. Downtown Center (DC)
1. Purpose and Intent. The Downtown Center is envisioned as the primary hub and focal point of Moreno Valley and an economic and cultural engine in the region. The district establishes standards to foster development of a vibrant Downtown Center at the heart of the city to serve as a focal point of the community and destination for people from around the region. The district allows for a vibrant mix of business, entertainment, residential, cultural, and civic uses with the focus of the highest intensity of development along Nason Street. It integrates existing uses and layers compatible new land uses and public amenities together at various scales and intensities to foster a mix of uses that encourages people to live, work, play, and shop within the Downtown Center.
83 6
The Downtown Center will integrate the existing hospi tal complexes and provide visual and physical connections to Moreno Valley College, Lake Perris, and other key destinations within the community.
Visibility is a critical design consideration for the Downtown Center. Design standards for development at the core of the Downtown Center. The district seeks to take advantage of the relatively flat terrain and promote higher building heights to help build visual connections from other locations within the community and enhance the prominence of the Downtown Center as an important destination. Additionally, public plazas and other vantage points within the Downtown Center should be designed to allow for view of the scenic hills surrounding the city, enhancing sense of place.
2. Property Development Standards. The intent is to allow for development of a downtown that will include commercial, office, vertical and horizontal mixed use, higher density multi-family development, and lower density residential on the periphery. The most intense development is expected to be focused towards Nason Street. The zone is intended to:
a. Ensure orderly and thorough planning and review procedures that will result in quality design; and b. The creation and improvement of common open space and coordination of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation; and
c. Establish a procedure for the development of land under unified control to achieve efficient land use patterns while permitting creative and innovative approaches to the development of residential, commercial, and mixed-use in the designated DC District in order to create a central downtown business atmosphere towards Nason Street; and
d. Encourage mixed development patterns and avoid monotony in large developments by allowing greater flexibility in selecting the means to provide access, light, open space, and amenities; and e. Decrease the burden created by new development on utilities and other infrastructure systems by permitting mixed use development consistent with policies of the General Plan; and
3. Applicability: The Downtown Center zone applies primarily to parcels in the area generally bounded by Lasselle Street, Iris Avenue, Nason Street, and extending to Cottonwood Avenue at some locations.
The portion of the Downtown Cen ter area covered by the Moreno Valley Town Center Specific Plan (SP 222) and Aquabella Specific Plan (SP 218) are excluded from the Downtown Center (DC) Zone and will continue to be regulated under the provisions of SP 218 and SP 222.
4. Special Requirements. In order to implement the Downtown Center (DC) District General Plan policies, an area plan will be required demonstrating consistency with the principles outlined in the Land Use and Community Character (LUCC) Element, Table LCC-2 and the illustrative development program shown in the LUCC Element, Table LCC-3 prior to approval. For large projects, an existing or proposed Specific Plan may be used in lieu of an Area Plan. Development on smaller parcels and multi-family housing projects may satisfy this requirement with a site plan as determined by the Community Development Director, and development of residential projects on the periphery of the Downtown Center may satisfy the requirement through approval of a Planned Unit Development application.
a. The Floating Zone Concept.
A floating zone is a zone that delineates a general area within DC where certain conditions would need to be considered before a development proposal is approved. There are two types of Floating Zones allowed with DC- Floating PUDs and Floating Plazas. These are described below. 84 7
b. Floating PUDs
The Floating Planned Unit Development (DC-PUD) designation allows for the development of single- family housing and less dense multi -family housing (up to 20 units per acre) on the periphery of the Downtown Center. This will support development of the more intense development (greater than 20 dwelling units per acre) along portions of Alessandro Boulevard towards Nason Street and allow for residential mixed-use projects with ground-floor commercial uses in proximity to the intersection of Nason Street and Alessandro Boulevard.
The designation for the Floating Planned Unit Development zone is indicated on the Official Zoning Map with a circle border and the letters “DC-PUD”. This symbol represents a “floating” designation and is only intended to indicate a general area within which a PUD could be located. It does not preclude other development or uses that would otherwise be permitted within the Downtown Center.
The purpose and intent of the PUD Floating Zone is to provide flexibility in planning for residential development of projects.
c. Floating Plazas
The Floating Parks and Plazas (DC -PPL) zone is used to designate lands that can be publicly or privately- owned and are intended to be programmed for low intensity, publicly accessible open space uses. Parks and Plazas represent a creative solution to provide more public space in the Downtown Center zone. Plazas and pocket parks will generally be spaces that are developed and maintained privately, but open to the public. Opportunities for the creation of these types of plazas will occur as properties in the DC zone develop with higher intensity uses.
The designation for the park or plaza is indicated on the Official Zoning Map with a circle border and the letters “DC-PPL”. This symbol represents a “floating” designation and is only intended to indicate a general area within which a park or plaza site should be located. The specific size, exact location and configuration of such park or plaza site will be finalized only through future development of specific parcels in the DC District through an area plan, Specific Plan, or a site plan. Until such time that these properties are privately developed as a publicly accessible park or plaza space or purchased by the City, development is allowed consistent with the DC zone.
5. Site Development Standards
A. General Requirements. The following sets forth minimum site development standards for the Downtown Center. In addition, projects must comply with the special requirements enumerated in subsection B.3, the performance standards included in Chapter 9.10, and other applicable ordinances, policies, and programs.

C. Corridor Mixed Use (COMU)
1. Purpose and Intent. The Mixed-Use Community Corridor (COMU) zone is intended to create vibrant boulevards that are both a destination and a place where people can work and live. This will consist of buildings that emphasize street-oriented frontages, pedestrian-scaled buildings, creative use of open spaces and building design, and engaging, well-crafted areas for pedestrian activity, such as plazas and walkways.
The integration of residential and commercial uses into a mix of vertical and horizontal buildings will encourage businesses to relocate and establish a presence in Moreno Valley, whereby pedestrians will work, live, shop, and enjoy an array of entertainment experiences. The Mixed-Use Corridors will facilitate transit and bicycle use, and pedestrian activity.
2. Property Development Standards.
The Corridor Mixed- Use District is generally located on Alessandro Boulevard, Perris Boulevard, and Sunnymead Boulevard. For Sunnymead Boulevard, the Village Specific Plan (SP204) provides mixed-use standards that are consistent with the intent of this section.
Alessandro Boulevard and Perris Boulevard (COMU) are major entryways into Moreno Valley, providing gateways to the City, such that these corridors should:
a. Facilitate a pedestrian-scaled environment with buildings that emphasize active and street -oriented frontages, well-scaled and designed buildings, and engaging outdoor spaces and landscaping. b. Allow for higher intensity residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings to provide the appropriate height relative to the width of the street.
c. Provide increased opportunities in Moreno Valley for residents to live near goods, services, transit, and entertainment while also ensuring a high standard and quality of life for residents. d. Ensure that consideration and proper transition is designed to adjacent lower-density residential uses.
3. Applicability. For Alessandro Boulevard and Perris Boulevard, the building design standards, site design guidelines, and all other land use and development requirements, standards, or other provisions set forth in MC 9.07.010 shall apply to all development within the Corridor Mixed Use zone (COMU).
The portion of COMU covered by the Village Specific Plan (SP 204) is excluded from the Corridor Mixed- Use (COMU) Zone and will continue to be regulated under the provisions of SP 204. Within the COMU- SP 204 CC zone, commercial uses and development standards of the SP204 CC shall apply, and in addition, 87 10
residential and mixed use are permitted consistent with the standards of the SP 204 VCR.
4. Special Requirements. A mix of uses is not required on every site but is desired on sites at intersections in order to foster nodes of commercial mixed-use development along the corridor. Commercial uses should be concentrated at intersections and limited to no more than 25 percent of the maximum permitted FAR, excluding parking. No residential uses in a vertical mixed-use project are permitted on the ground floor.
5. Site Development Standards
A. General Requirements. The following table sets forth minimum site development for the Corridor Mixed-Use Zone. For the Village Specific Plan (SP204), the development standards of the Village Specific Plan will apply as described above. In addition, projects must comply with the special requirements enumerated in subsection B.4, the performance standards included in Chapter 9.10, and other applicable ordinances, policies, and programs. The parking standards in MC 9.11.040 off-street parking requirements shall apply.

1. Mixed -Use Corridor Development - Specific Design Regulations. Mixed -Use that is vertically integrated into one (1) building or horizontally integrated on the same site shall comply with the development standards listed in this section] as they pertain to Mixed -Use, in addition to the standards below.
a. Massing and Articulation with following requirements. • Buildings shall incorporate articulation techniques such as columns, recessed or projected walls, vertically offset windows, and shading elements with a minimum depth of one foot. These features should be applied frequently—at intervals of 25 to 35 feet along the façade—to maintain pedestrian interest and visual variety. • For mixed-use buildings, at least 70 percent of the ground floor street-facing façade shall be transparent. Continuous and blank curtain wall façades are prohibited. • Ground floor entry and exit corridors, garage openings, and all other recesses shall provide a finished appearance with exterior finishes wrapping into the openings for the entire depth of the recess or 10 feet whichever is greater b. Entrances. When nonresidential and residential uses are in the same building, separate pedestrian entrances shall be provided for each use. The entrances for nonresidential uses shall be designed to be visually distinct from the entrances for residential uses. The entrance for nonresidential shall be oriented toward the street highest in hierarchy.
c. Lighting Standards. Lighting for nonresidential uses shall be oriented downward to illuminate the sidewalks and roadways, with minimal scattered light. Shields can be installed to deflect light so they do not negatively impact the residential uses in the development nor any adjacent residential uses and shall be consistent with all provisions of MC 9.08.100 (Lighting). d. Recycling and Refuse Storage Facilities Standards. Recycling and refuse storage facilities for nonresidential uses shall be located as far as possible from residential units and shall be completely screened from view from the residential portion of the development. Recycling and refuse storage facilities for nonresidential uses shall be compatible in architectural design and details with the overall project.
C. New Streets and Pathways Regulations.

1. Street and Pathway Connectivity. New development shall maintain and enhance pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicle connectivity with a hierarchy of streets and pathways, consistent with the street typology identified in the Moreno Valley General Plan (Map C -1). Primary pedestrian access to buildings shall be from the sidewalk.
a. Enhanced Streetscapes. Streetscapes shall be enhanced with enriched streetscape elements, including but not limited to a variety of landscaping and pedestrian amenities, such as benches, pedestrian - scaled lighting, trash enclosures, and bicycle storage.
2. Pedestrian -Oriented Design/Pedestrian Access. The design of new projects shall promote walkability and connectivity to include design and orientation standards such as:
91 14
a. Internal Connections. A system of pedestrian walkways shall connect all buildings on a site to each other, including on-site automobile and bicycle parking areas, and any on-site open space areas and pedestrian amenities.
b. Internal Pedestrian Walkways Width. Internal walkways shall be a minimum of six (6) feet wide adjacent to any common open space areas. Internal walkways elsewhere on the property shall be a minimum of four (4) feet wide and paved with permeable materials, unless walkways are located near swimming pools or in heavily trafficked areas.
c. Lighting. Lighting shall be incorporated along sidewalks or other pedestrian walkways to enhance the pedestrian environment and provide for public safety. Lighting shall be low mounted, downward casting to reduce light trespass onto adjacent properties, and shall be consistent with all provisions of MC 9.08.100 (Lighting).
d. Connections to Primary Street. Connections between on-site walkways and the public sidewalk shall be provided. An on- site walkway shall connect the primary building entry or entries to a public sidewalk on each street frontage. Such walkway shall be the shortest practical distance between the primary entry and sidewalk, generally no more than one hundred twenty-five (125) percent of the straight-line distance.
D. Center Mixed Use (CEMU)
1. Purpose and Intent. This designation provides for the redevelopment of existing commercial centers and adjacent uses to complement existing development at prominent entry points into the community. The Centers are envisioned as integrated, pedestrian -oriented places with a mix of uses including retail, dining, entertainment, offices, lodging, recreational and cultural facilities that cater to both motorists passing through and residents of surrounding neighborhoods. It is expected that the Moreno Valley Mall at Towngate and commercial areas at the Festival Specific Plan (SP205) will have opportunities to incorporate higher -density housing on- site to support the vitality of commercial uses and activate the areas.
2. Applicability. The Center Mixed Use zone is located entirely within the existing extent of adopted Specific Plans: The Towngate Specific Plan (SP200) and the commercial areas of Festival Specific Plan (SP 205), known as “The District.” The permitted uses of the underlying Specific Plan shall apply except that multi-family residential use (20 to 35 dwelling units per acre) is additionally permitted within the Moreno Valley Mall Planning Area (CEMU – SP200 on the City’s Zoning Map) of the Towngate Specific Plan, and within the areas identified as CEMU (CEMU – SP 205 on the City’s Zoning Map) within the Festival Specific Plan (SP 205) in conjunction with a mixed use project. It is expected that a Specific Plan amendment will be completed for any mixed-use project within the CEMU. However, a master plot plan may be used to determine the standards for the mixed use project if the Community Development Director finds that the project is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Center Mixed Use General Plan designation.
3. Property Development Standards. The Center Mixed Use (CEMU) zone applies primarily to the mall site within the Towngate Specific Plan (SP200) and commercial areas of the Festival Specific Plan (SP205), known as “The District.” The maximum permitted FAR in the CEMU designation is 1.25 with a residential range of 20 to 35 dwelling units per acre. On smaller parcels, additional FAR may be permitted to achieve the desired vision of the area. The underlying standards of the applicable Specific Plan will otherwise apply.

9.07.060 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this chapter is to establish and implement the requirements of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport that affects land uses within the City of Moreno Valley and to encourage future development that is compatible with the continued operation of March Air Reserve Base. It is also the intent of the ALUCP to recognize and implement the purpose for the guidelines contained in the March Air Reserve Base air installation compatible use zone report.
B. Applicability. The provisions of the ALUCP shall apply in addition to the provisions of the underlying district. If there are inconsistencies between the underlying zone and the ALUCP, the ALUCP shall take precedence.
C. Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC).
1. The purpose of an Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) is to conduct airport land use compatibility planning in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports. The statutes governing ALUCs are set forth in Division 9, Part 1, Chapter 4, Article 3.5, Sections 21670—21679.5 of the California Public Utilities Code (PUC).
2. The Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission has two principal duties, which include:
a. Preparing and adopting the ALUCP;
b. Reviewing plans, regulations, and other actions of local agencies, and airport operators to ensure consistency with the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (RCALUCP).
D. Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). The Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) is a State-required, long-range master plan that reflects the anticipated growth of an airport over a 20-year time period. State law requires general and specific plans to be consistent with any ALUCP affecting the City. The requirements are established to limit noise impacts on noise -sensitive uses and to protect and preserve airports and aviation safety, as well as public safety, from aviation-related hazards.
The RCALUCP, designates zones of airport influence areas and provides a series of policies and compatibility criteria to ensure that both aviation uses, and surrounding areas may continue, and are compatible. In 2014, the ALUC adopted the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Compatibility Plan which includes compatibility criteria and maps for influence areas of the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport.
The RCALUCP establishes specific criteria for eac h of the airport compatibility zones described in this chapter. For property located within a compatibility zone and subject to airport land use compatibility plan policies and criteria, the ALUCP may be more restrictive than what would otherwise be allowed per City zoning designation applicable to the property. In addition to complying with the zoning requirements of this title, proposed uses and development on property within an airport compatibility zone must be 98 21
determined to be consistent with, and comply with the compatibility criteria of the applicable compatibility zone and airport land use compatibility plan.
E. Actions which require ALUC Review. As required by State law, the following types of actions shall be referred to t he Airport Land Use Commission for determination of consistency with the applicable Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan prior to approval by the City.
1. The adoption or approval of any amendment to a general or specific plan affecting the property within an airport influence area (Public Utilities Code Section 21676(b)).
2. The adoption or approval of a zoning ordinance or building regulation which affects property within an airport influence area, and involves the types of airport impact concerns listed in Section 1.4 of the March ALUCP (Public Utilities Code Section 21676(b)). These are impacts related to:
a. Exposure to aircraft noise;
b. Land use safety with respect both to people on the ground and the occupants of aircraft; c. Protection of airport airspace; and
d. General concerns related to aircraft overflights.
3. Adoption or modification of a master plan for an existing public-use airport (Public Utilities Code Section 21676(c)).
4. Any proposal for expansion of an existing airport or heliport if such expansion will require an amended airport permit from the State of California (Public Utilities Code Section 21664.5).
5. Any proposal for a new airport or heliport whether for public use or private use if the facility requires a State airport permit (Public Utilities Code Section 21661.5).
F. Other land use actions subject to ALUC Review. In addition to the above types of land use actions for which ALUC review is mandatory, other types of land use actions are subject to review under the circumstances described in Section 1.5 of Chapter 2 Countywide Policies of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
G. Timing of ALUC Review. Proposed projects requiring ALUC review should be submitted to ALUC as early in the process as possible so that the Commission's (or ALUC Executive Director's) review can be considered by the City before taking formal action on a project. The timing may vary depending upon the nature of the specific project. However, all projects requiring ALUC review must be submitted to ALUC for review prior to final approval by the City.
H. Actions not subject to ALUC Review —City ALUCP Compatibility Review. For discretionary actions on property within an airport influence area and compatibility zone, but which are not subject to ALUC review as described in Sections E - G above, the City shall review such action for consistency with the applicable ALUCP, and make a finding of project consistency or inconsistency with the applicable airport compatibility plan based on the basic land use compatibility criteria described below. Where there is uncertainty with regard to compatibility of a proposed use or project with the applicable airport land use compatibility plan, the City shall consult with ALUC staff, or defer such matter to ALUC for a consistency determination.
99 22
I. Compatibility zones and criteria for March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport. For uses proposed within airport influence areas of the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport, refer to the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (March ALUCP) to determine whether a particular use is compatible with the applicable airport and a permissible use.
1. Airport Compatibility Zones . The 2014 March ALUCP establishes eight separate Compatibility Zones for March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport. A general description of each compatibility zone is provided in the following table.
Table 9.07.060.I.1 - March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Compatibility Zones
Compatibility Zones Description
M Military
A Clear Zone
B1 Inner Approach/Departure Zone
B2 High Noise Zone
C1 Primary Approach/Departure Zone
C2 Flight Corridor Zone
D Flight Corridor Buffer
E Other Airport Environs
2. The Compatibility Zones for the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport are established per Map MA-1 within Volume 1 of the 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
The safety zone boundaries, shown in the map below are consistent with the adopted 2014 Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
100
23 3. Land use compatibility criteria for March Air Reserve Base/March Inland Port Airport. The criteria for assessing whether a project is compatible with the March ARB/IPA are set forth in the Compatibility Zone Factors matrix, Table MA-1 within Volume 1 of the March ALUCP, within Chapter 3 of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, or as amended. These criteria are to be used in conjunction with the compatibility map and policies for the March ARB/IPA as presented in Chapter 3 of the Riverside County ALUCP, or as amended. The basic compatibility criteria listed in Table 2A of Chapter 2 of the Riverside County ALUCP does not apply to the environs of March ARB/IPA.
4. Accident Potential Zones (APZ's). In addition to the compatibility zones described above, Map MA- 1 within Volume 1 of the March ALUCP identifies two Accident Potential Zones (APZ's I and II) for the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport. The Department of Defense (DoD) Air Force Instruction AFI 32-7063 - December 18, 2015 describes Clear Zones, and APZ's as areas off the end of DOD runways that were developed based on past Air Force aircraft accidents and reflect land areas at greater risk of an aircraft accident. The Clear Zone and the APZs represent areas where an accident is most likely to occur, if one would occur; however, they are not predictors of accidents. More specifically, the Clear Zone, and Accident Potential Zones (APZ's) are defined as follows:
a. The Clear Zone begins at the end of the runway and is the area of highest accident potential; it has few uses that are compatible.
b. APZ I lies beyond the Clear Zone [and] is in area of lower but still considerable accident potential.
c. APZ II is beyond APZ I and possesses less accident potential.
5. Department of Defense Requirements for March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Accident Potential Zones (APZ's). For discretionary actions proposed within March ARB/IPA Accident Potential 101
24 Zones (APZ I & II) or within the Clear Zone, the proposed use and/or development shall, in addition to meeting the compatibility criteria of the March ALUCP, be consistent with current Air Force Guidance including:
a. Department of Defense Instruction 4165.57 for Air Installations Compatible Use Zones, March 12, 2015, or as amended, and
b. Air Force Instruction AFI 32-7063 for Air Installations Compatible Use Zones Program, December 18, 2015, or as amended. Specifically AFI 32- 7063, Table A.2.1 of Attachment 2 - Land Use Compatibility Recommendations for APZS, generally identifi es land uses acceptable or not acceptable within the Clear Zone, APZ I, and APZ II, and establishes maximum residential density, or nonresidential floor area ratio requirements applicable to each use and APZ. c. Where a discretionary action is proposed within an APZ, or Clear Zone, the Department of the Air Force, 452d Air Mobility Wing (AFRC) March Air Reserve Base shall be consulted to determine whether the proposed discretionary action is consistent with the Air Force Guidance referenced above. Such consultation would be in addition to, and shall not be in lieu of requirements of the March ALUCP, or any review for airport land use compatibility that may be required by the Riverside County ALUC.
J. Overrule Procedures. When ALUC disapproves or finds an action, regulation, or permit, to be inconsistent with the ALUCP, ALUC shall notify the City within 30 days of such action pursuant to Public Utilities Code (PUC) 21675.1(d). The City Council may overrule ALUC decision, by a two-thirds vote and shall make specific findings that the proposed action, regulation, or permit is consistent with the purposes of Article 3.5, as stated in Section 21670 of the PUC.
A City Council proposed overrule of an ALUC action must provide a copy of the proposed decision and findings to both ALUC and the California Division of Aeronautics, a minimum of 45 days' prior to the decision to overrule ALUC. These agencies have 30 days in which to provide comments to City Council pursuant to PUC Sections 21676(a) and (b).

9.07.080 Primary animal keeping overlay (PAKO).
A. Purpose and Intent. The primary purpose of the primary animal keeping overlay district is to maintain animal keeping and the rural character of the areas noted within the overlay district and designate a portion of the parcel for medium and large animal keeping.
B. Applicability. The primary animal keeping overlay (PAKO) district and standards shall apply to animal keeping activities in the RR (rural residential), R1 (residential-1) and RA2 (residential agricultural- 2) land use districts only within an area bounded by Nason Street to the west, Theodore Street to the east, the city limit line to the north and Cottonwood Avenue to the south.
C. Zoning Map Designation. The primary animal keeping overlay district shall be designated on the zoning map by the symbol “PAKO.”
D. Development Standards.
1. Lots within the designated animal keeping overlay district shal l include a primary animal keeping area (PAKA) of three thousand (3,000) square feet. The PAKA may be located in the rear, side or front yard, subject to the standards within this section. PAKAs within the front yard will only be allowed when the main habitable structure maintains a minimum setback of seventy-five (75) feet 102
25 from the front property line. PAKAs on individual lots shall be grouped together and placed immediately adjacent to those located on an adjoining lot. If unique site constraints exist on a lot, the PAKA may be located on another portion of the lot as approved by the community and economic development director.
2. No non-animal related structures shall be allowed in the PAKA. Animal -related structures located within the PAKA shall not exceed forty (40) percent of the PAKA.
3. A dedicated primary animal keeping area (PAKA) shall be recorded on each newly created lot and included within the project CC&Rs if applicable.
4. All PAKAs shall have a twenty (20) foot minimum setback from any habitable structure.
5. All PAKAs shall be located on flat usable land with a slope no greater than four percent.
6. A minimum width of fifteen (15) feet shall be provided for vehicle access on one side of the lot, with clear access to the PAKA.
7. PAKAs that are developed at a lower or higher grade than the residence pad shall include an access ramp with a slope no greater than twenty-five (25) percent, and a minimum travel width of twelve (12) feet.
8. Lots within the PAKO shall adhere to the minimum lot standards within the underlying zoning district, including planned unit developments (PUDs).
9. Developments within the PAKO shall include feeder trails on one side of the street.
10. The above standards only apply to newly created residential subdivisions within the primary animal keeping overlay (PAKO) district. Specific primary animal keeping areas (PAKAs) shall be designated on all tentative maps and recorded on all final subdivision maps. (Ord. 731 § 3.2, 2007; Ord. 981 § 3, 2021; Ord. 984 § 3, 2022)
Article II. Mixed-Use Overlay Districts
9.07.91 Purpose and intent.
A. Purpose. The purpose of this chapter to provide regulations that implement the goals and policies of the general plan, the Alessandro Boulevard Corridor Vision Plan (accepted by the Moreno Valley City Council on June 30, 2010), and other similar long-range planning documents aimed at encouraging mixed- use development within the city.
B. Intent. The mixed-use overlay districts are intended to:
1. Stimulate economic development and reinvestment through regulations based upon recognized urban design principles that allow property owners to respond with flexibility to market forces;
2. Create specific development nodes at street intersections with a pedestrian-oriented mix of uses with convenient access between area neighborhoods, housing, employment centers, and retail services;
3. Accommodate intensities and patterns of development that can support multiple modes of transportation including public transit, bicycles, and walking;
4. Facilitate well- designed new mixed- use development projects that combine residential and nonresidential uses (e.g., office, retail, business services, personal services, public spaces and uses, other community amenities, etc.) to promote a better balance of jobs and housing; 103
26 5. Ensure compatibility with adjacent existing single-family neighborhoods and harmonious integration with existing commercial areas;
6. Encourage the development of unique district character through a streetscape that provides attractive features (e.g., landscaping, street furniture, niche or linear parks, public places, courtyards, public transportation shelters, etc.) designed to integrate the public realm (e.g., streets, sidewalks, etc.) with adjacent development on private property; and
7. Provide additional property rights while preserving existing property rights. This intent is achieved by providing additional development rights in compliance with this chapter, which property owners may exercise under certain conditions, while retaining all development rights conferred by the underlying district to property owners in the mixed- use overlay districts. Incentives and advantages include allowing a greater range and mix of uses; more permissive dimensional specifications ( e.g., greater floor area ratio, lot coverage ratio, and height; reduced setbacks; etc.); exemption from certain design review requirements; and fee reductions or waivers. (Ord. 864 § 3.3, 2013; Ord. 981 § 3, 2021)
9.07.92 Applicability.
This section describes the applicability of mixed -use overlay district standards to a property when the property is located within two districts – a base district (e.g., commercial (C), office (O), business park/light industrial (BP), etc.) and a mixed-use overlay district.
A. Relationship Between Overlay District Standards and Base District Standards. For property within a mixed -use overlay district, the regulations in this chapter allow mixed- use development as an alternative to the type of development allowed under the base (underlying) district standards.
B. Base District Standards.
1. The provisions in this chapter shall apply to all properties within their respective mixed- use overlay districts, but the provisions do not supersede the underlying base district provisions until a property is developed in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
2. New projects may be developed in compliance with the existing underlying base district, provided that all standards and requirements of the underlying base district are met.
3. Regulations, development standards, and requirements in the underlying base district shall continue to apply to those projects that are currently developed according to the existing standards.
4. For legal nonconforming uses (i.e., uses that do not comply with the provisions of the base district or this chapter), the provisions in Section 9.02.180 (Legal nonconforming uses, improvements, and parcels) shall apply.
C. Option to Apply Mixed-Use Overlay District Standards.
1. The owner or developer of any property within any mixed- use overlay district may choose to develop in compliance with the standards and procedures in this chapter that apply to the particular mixed-use overlay district in which the property is located.
2. In order to exercise the option to develop under the provisions in this chapter, approval of a development review application shall be required in compliance with Section 9.02.030 (Development review process). In granting the approval, the review authority shall find that:
a. The proposed development is in compliance with the provisions in this chapter; and 104
27 b. Approval of the project will not reduce the amount of land available in mixed- use overlay zone areas to a point where the city’s affordable housing needs under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) cannot be met.
D. Other Applicable Regulations. Other applicable regulations can be found in Section 9.09.250 (Live- work development) and Section 9.09.260 (Mixed-use development).
E. Applicable Regulations After Completion of Development. Once a property is developed in compliance with the provisions in this chapter, the provisions of this chapter completely supersede the provisions of the underlying base district. Whenever the requirements of the overlay district impose a more or less restrictive standard than the provisions of the underlying base district, the requirements of the overlay district shall govern.
F. Use of Photographs. Photographs and illustrations are include d in this chapter for illustrative purposes only. Specific development standards in this chapter are the controlling language for purposes of development regulation. (Ord. 864 § 3.3, 2013; Ord. 981 § 3, 2021)
Purposes of mixed-use overlay districts.
This section describes the purpose and intent of each mixed-use overlay district.
A. Mixed-Use Institutional Anchor (MUI) Overlay District. The mixed- use institutional anchor (MUI) overlay district applies to areas around prominent anchor institutions, such as civic centers, medical centers, and educational campuses. The intent is to build upon the role of the institutions by providing opportunities for urban, high- intensity development that serves the needs of visitors, employees, and residents affiliated with the anchor institution and the surrounding region. Development is allowed up to five stories in height with building frontages near or at the sidewalk, wide sidewalks, and parking under or behind buildings. Vertical mixed-use development (ground-floor retail with offices or housing above) is required at important street intersections. Horizontally -integrated or vertically- integrated mixed-use development, with no requirement for ground- floor retail, is allowed in other locations. The overlay district name may be expanded to include the name of the type of anchor institution (e.g., “MUI—Medical Center”). See Figure 9.07.093- 1 (Examples of Development in Mixed -Use Institutional Anchor (MUI) Overlay District).
B. Mixed-Use Community (MUC) Overlay District. The mixed- use community (MUC) overlay district applies to areas along major arterials and arterials. The intent is to provide opportunities for the development of pedestrian- oriented blocks with medium -intense development that serves the needs of residents, visitors, and employees from the surrounding community. Development is allowed up to four stories in height with building frontages near or at the sidewalk, wide sidewalks, and parking under or behind buildings. Vertical mixed-use development (ground-floor retail with offices or housing above) is required at importan t street intersections. Horizontally -integrated or vertically -integrated mixed -use development, with no requirement for ground- floor retail, is allowed in other locations. The overlay district name may be expanded to include the community name (e.g., “MUC —East Alessandro”). See Figure 9.07.093-2 (Examples of Development in Mixed-Use Community (MUC) Overlay District).
C. Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MUN) Overlay District. The mixed- use neighborhood (MUN) overlay district applies to areas along arterials and minor ar terials. The intent is to provide an area for low-rise mixed -use development that serves the needs of residents, visitors, and employees from the surrounding immediate neighborhood. Development is allowed up to three stories in height with building 105
28 frontages near or at the sidewalk, wide sidewalks, and parking under or behind buildings. Vertical mixed- use development (ground- floor retail with offices or housing above) is required at important street intersections. Horizontally -integrated or vertically -integrated mixed- use development, with no requirement for ground- floor retail, is allowed in oth er locations. The overlay district name may be expanded to include the neighborhood name (e.g., “MUN —Lasselle Crossing”). See Figure 9.07.093- 3 (Examples of Development in Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MUN) Overlay District). 106

39 9.07.95 Building frontage type standards.
This section provides frontage type standards for buildings in the mixed-use overlay districts. Table
9.07.095-10 specifies allowable building frontage types for each mixed-use overlay district.
A. Types of Building Frontages.
1. Live-Work/Office Fronts. A frontage that reinforces both residential and work activities that can occur in the building. The elevation of the ground floor is located at or near the grade of sidewalk to provide direct public access to the building. Entrances and windows are provided on the front of the façade to provide eyes on the street and direct sidewalk access to commercial and office uses. The front setback (if provided) may be improved with landsca ping or as an extension of the public sidewalk to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment. See also Section 9.09.250 (Live-work development).
2. Residential Fronts. A frontage that reinforces the residential character and use of the building. The elevation of the ground floor is elevated above the grade of the lot to provide privacy for residences by preventing direct views into the home from the sidewalk. Entrances and windows are provided on the front of the façade to provide eyes on the street and direct sidewalk access to the building. Stoops are allowed to project into the front setback to enhance entrances. The front setback is primarily improved with landscaping.
3. Storefronts. A frontage that reinforces the commercial character and use of the ground floor of the building. The elevation of the ground floor is located at or near the grade of sidewalk to provide direct public access into the building. Large storefronts display windows are provided on the front of the façade to encourage visual access to merchandise displays and to encourage window shopping. Awnings or marquees are provided over storefront windows and entrances.
The front setback (if provided) is primarily improved as an extension of the public sidewalk to create a more pedestrian friendly environment.
B. Live-Work/Office Frontage Standards (1) Figure 9.07.096-10 Elevation of Ground Floor (A) The ground floor elevation shall be located near the elevation of the sidewalk to minimize the need for external steps and external ADA ramps at public entrances.

H. Design Criteria.
1. A mixed-use development project shall be designed and constructed to:
a. Be pedestrian in its focus by:
i. Providing direct pedestrian linkages to adjacent public sidewalks. ii. Creating enhanced pedestrian connections throughout the project between residential and nonresidential uses and parking areas.
iii. Providing enhanced pedestrian amenities throughout the project, including seating, pedestrian area lighting, special paving, public art, water features, common open space, directories, and similar items to create a pleasant pedestrian experience. iv. Incorporating architectural design elements and materials that relate to a pedestrian scale. b. Locate uses in proximity to one another without large intervening parking lots so that it is convenient for people to walk between the various uses and park their vehicles only once. c. Create a pedestrian scale and character of development along the street by providing significant wall articulation and varying roof heights, incorporating pedestrian scale elements (e.g., doors, windows, lighting, landscaping), and locating storefronts and common open space areas (e.g., plaza, courtyard, outdoor dining) near the public sidewalk to contribute to an active street environment. d. Provide a transition to adjacent residential uses in compliance with the standards provided in Table
9.07.095-10 (Mixed-Use Overlay District Development Standards).
2. Consistent Use of Architectural Details and Materials. Architectural style and use of quality materials shall be compatible and consistent throughout an entire mixed -use project. However, differences in architectural details and materials may occur to differentiate between the residential and nonresidential portions of the project. The overall project design and site layout shall be one that promotes a strong pedestrian environment and active street frontage. This can be accomplished by incorporating features into the project as outlined in paragraph 3 of this subsection.
3. Features.
a. Street Level Features. Variations in the front building plane shall be incorpora ted through the use of varying building setbacks, variations in wall planes, and the inclusion of pedestrian amenities (e.g., plaza, courtyard, outdoor dining, landscaping). Long expanses of blank walls shall be prohibited. 133
56 b. Pedestrian-Oriented Features. At least seventy -five (75) percent of the building frontage facing a public street, primary pedestrian way, or parking lot shall be devoted to pedestrian- oriented features (
e.g., storefronts, pedestrian entrances to nonresidential uses, transpa rent display windows, landscaping).
c. Upper Level Features. Upper floor balconies, bays, and windows shall be provided whenever opportunities exist for these types of features.
d. Entrances. When nonresidential and residential uses are located in a vertical mix ed use structure, separate pedestrian entrances shall be provided for each use. The entrances for nonresidential uses shall be designed to be visually distinct from the entrances for residential uses. Entrances to individual residential units in a vertical mixed use project shall not be allowed along a street frontage. Instea d sh
ared entrances to residential units located above the ground floor shall be from lobbies that serv e m
ultiple units.
e. Neighborhood Interface. The design of new infill development shal l be sensitive to the scale and design characteristics of established structures in abutting residential neighborhoods, with the objective of
achieving a harmonious transition between the new development and existing neighborhood.
Consideration shall be given to factors including, but not limited to, orientation of architectural features, building articulation, and exterior building treatments. f. Lighting. Lighting shall be incorporated along sidewalks or other pedestrian walkways, plazas, paseos, courtyards, and other common open areas to enhance the pedestrian environment and increase publ
ic safety. Lighting for nonresidential uses shall be designed, located, and shielded to ensure that they do not adversely impact the re sidential uses, but shall provide sufficient illumination for access and security purposes consistent with the provisions of Section
9.08.100 (Lighting).
g. Security. Projects shall be designed to minimize security risks to residents and to minimize the opportunities for vandalism and theft. This may be accomplished by:
i. Maximizing visibility to common open space areas, internal walkways, and public sidewalks. Use oppor
tunities for natural surveillance to increase visibility. ii. Using walkways, low fences, lighting, signage, and landscaping to clearly guide people and ve
hicles to and from
the proper entrances.
iii. Eliminating areas of concealment, hiding places,
and dead spaces.
iv. Using lighting to improve the visibility of common areas while enhancing the pedestr ian e
nvironment. Lighting should not be overly bright and should provide a uniform level of light over the subject area to eliminate dark spaces. (Ord. 864 § 3.3, 2013; Ord. 981 § 3, 2021) 134

SUMMARY
This report recommends approval and award of a professional services agreement with SVA Architects Inc. for interior design and space planning services related to the Business and Employment Resource Center Relocation and Expansion Project (Project No. 803 0073).
DISCUSSION
In accordance with the adopted Economic Development Strategic Plan, the City of Moreno Valley has identified workforce development as a critical initiative to attract new industries and businesses, critical to the City’s Economic Development aspirations.
Workforce Development provides training and upskilling for our residents, ensurin g our region's talent pipeline aligns with industry needs.
The Business and Employment Resource Center (BERC) first opened in 2009 as a one- stop job resource center operated by the City of Moreno Valley, in partnership with Riverside County. The 3,500 -square-foot facility is used for workshops and trainings, recruitment events, career assessment s, a resource library, computer and internet access, and Veterans’ employment services and resources.
In 2021, the BERC became the State of California’s newest compr ehensive America’s Job Center of California (AJCC). Moreno Valley is unique in that we are one of only a few comprehensive AJCCs across the State of California operated by a City.
Since becoming an AJCC, o ver the past 5 years, programming at the BERC has increased with 16 new partners and various new programs, including:
Veteran Tuesday;
Financial and digital literacy
Financial wellness;
Google Career Certificates;
Business consulting;
One-on-one workforce development coaching;
Unemployment, disability, and family leave assistance; 181
ID: 26-0150 Page 3
Legal aid services;
Skills programming for veterans; and
Entrepreneurship accelerator programs.
Total attendance at BERC events and training sessions has increased by 54% since becoming an AJCC.
Total BERC Attendance
Year 2021 2025 Increase
Attendance 17,595 27,075 54%
This steady growth strongly reflects the success of our staff and our partnerships, increasing demand for the various programs and training offer ed by the BERC to residents at no cost. Given the success of the BERC, certain hosted events have experienced challenges due to increased community interest and high attendance numbers. At 3,500 square feet in overall size the occupancy capacity of the existing facility is limited. The large tr aining room has a maximum occupancy of 24 people ; the small training room accommodates 20 people. Even when utilizing both spaces for some events, the space is inadequate, resulting in residents waiting in line outside to attend.
In February 2025, the City of Moreno Valley entered into a lease agreement for the bottom floor of the space formerly occupied by Sears in the Moreno Valley Mall. This facility lease was performed to serve two primary goals established in the 2024 Economic Development Strategic Pl an: 1) to create a new destination museum and art space (currently under construction), and 2) to relocate and expand the City’s BERC to be able to enhance services to the City’s businesses and residents.
To increase the BERC’s capacity to serve Moreno Va lley’s residents and businesses, approximately 20,000 square feet of the lease d space has been reserved for the BERC relocation and expansion. Moving the BERC to a new location and expanding the available space will set a new standard for workforce and business development centers in the Inland Empire and Southern California. The first step in the process is to conduct spatial analysis and interior architectural design to align current and future programming goals with the City’s growing workforce and business community by providing enhanced job placement services, training programs, business assistance, and community resources, all within a single, modern space.
On July 3, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation for interior design services for the BERC relocation and expansion. The RFP was advertised widely on the City's online bid portal, OpenGov, to ensure an open and competitive process.
Proposal responses were due on July 24, 2025. A total of eight (8) proposals were received in response to the solicitation.
According to the City’s Municipal Code requirements for professional services procurement, and after a thorough evaluation of all proposals, it was determined that SVA Architects, Inc., could fulfill the City's requirements f or design and space -planning consultant services. Once SVA Architects was determined to be the highest -qualified consultant, city staff met with company representatives to negotiate the final cost and 182
ID: 26-0150 Page 4
terms of the contract, including which optional scope o f services from the RFP would be included in the final project scope. The revised cost and scope have been incorporated into the proposed agreement, totaling $469,782.00.
The City intends to enter into a one -year agreement with SVA Architects, Inc., commencing on May 1, 2026, and concluding on June 30, 2027.
