Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

SUMMARY
This report provides for the receipt and filing of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Clean California Community Cleanup and Employment Pathway Restricted Grant Agreement in the amount of $200,000 for the City’s Bright Futures Clean Streets, Project Number GR PW CCEP.

The Community Cleanup and Employment Pathway (CCEP) Grant Program is a signature initiative designed to support public space beautification effort s such as 624

ID: 26-0261 Page 2
community-led litter and graffiti abatements on locally owned public right s-of-way while creating workforce development opportunities for individuals facing barriers to employment.

DISCUSSION
In support of Caltrans' statewide Clean California Com munity initiative to make communities cleaner, safer, and more sustainable, the Public Works Maintenance and Operations Division , in partnership with the City’s Grants Division, submitted a grant proposal for the Community Cleanup and Employment Pathways (CCEP) Grant Program in October 2025 . The application sought funding for the City’s Bright Futures Clean Streets Project, and in March 2026, the Maintenance and Operations Division was notified that the City had been selected as a grant recipient under the program.

The Bright Futures Clean Streets Project will focus on areas throughout the City that regularly experience litter and graffiti, including Sunnymead Boulevard, Frederick Street, and freeway -adjacent corridors. Project activities will include litte r removal, graffiti abatement, and general cleanup efforts. The project will also support three “Let’s Beautify MoVal Together” community cleanup eve nts, encouraging community engagement and civic pride.

A core component of the project is workforce development. Through partnerships with the City’s Business and Employment Resource Center (BERC) and the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) - a nationally recognized workforce development organization, local businesses, and community organizations, the C ity will recruit temporary workers through referrals from these entities. Recruitment efforts will focus on individuals who face barriers to employment, including low-income individuals, persons experiencing homelessness , and justice -impacted individuals. Participants will receive paid on-the-job training and gain experience in litter abatement, graffiti removal, and basic maintenance activities. In addition, participants will receive job -readiness support, resume development, interview preparation, and job placement assistance through BERC.

In addition to cleanup activities, the project incorporates education, community outreach, and workforce development opportunities, complemented by landscaping and beautification enhancements designed to improve publi c spaces and strengthen neighborhood pride.

The project is expected to remove approximately 300 tons of litter and debris, address graffiti at approximately 100 locations, and improve the appearance of public spaces throughout the community. Project planning and community outreach began in late spring 2026, with recruitment and training efforts to continue through June 2026. Cleanup and beautification activities will begin in July 2026 and continue through March 2027.

In December of 2025, Caltrans official ly recognized the City of Moreno Valley as a designated Clean California Community. This distinction is awarded to cities that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to enhancing public spaces, reducing litter, and fostering community pride.
625

ID: 26-0261 Page 3
While the Clean California Community designation was not a requirement for eligibility under the Community Cleanup and Employment Pathways (CCEP) Grant Program, it reinforced the City’s demonstrated commitment to the Beautify MoVal Initiative and its continued investment in maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming neighborhoods.

Report to City Council

ID: 26-0271 Page 1

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Angelica Frausto-Lupo, Community Development
Department

AGENDA DATE: June 16, 2026

TITLE: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT (PEN26 -0059)
(REPORT OF: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT)
(DISTRICT: ALL DISTRICTS)

TITLE SUMMARY: Municipal Code Amendments To Amend Various Sections Within Title 9 Planning and Zoning , Including Chapter 9.02 (Permits and Approvals), and Chapter 9.03 (Residential
Districts), of the Moreno Valley Municipal Code.

DISTRICT: All Districts

Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

1. Find that the proposed amendments to the Moreno Valley Municipal Code are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines; and

2. Introduce (First Reading) Ordinance No. [next in order] at the conclusion of the Public Hearing and adopt (Second Reading) the same at a subsequent City Council meeting, revising Title 9 (Planning and Zoning), specifically Chapter 9.02 (Permits and Approvals), and Chapter 9.03 (Residential Districts).

743

ID: 26-0271 Page 2

SUMMARY

On May 28, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended on a 4 to 0 vote, with one Planning Commissioner absent, that the City Council introduce and adopt the proposed Ordinance amending various sections of Title 9 based on the finding that the proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

DISCUSSION

The discussion of the sections below generally corresponds to the order of the text amendments set forth in the attached Ordinances.

Title 9 Amendment

Section 9.02.150 (Temporary Use Permits)

The proposed revisions to Section 9.0 2.150 (Temporary Use Permits ) would add “Homeless Resources Fair/Outreach Event, including those with Mobile Shower Units” to the list of permitted temporary uses with a Temporary Use Permit.

Section 9.03.040 (Residential Site Development Standards)

The proposed amendments to Section 9.03.040 (Residential Site Development Standards) would remove the current requirement that a minimum of 35 percent of the total site area within multifamily residential developme nts be landscaped. Landscaping requirements for multifamily residential projects would instead be governed by the provisions of Section 9.17.080 (Multifamily Residential Development), whi ch provides more flexible standards for site landscaping. Pursuant to these requirements, setback areas adjacent to public streets must be appropriately landscaped and continuously maintained in compliance with the City of Moreno Valley Objective Design Standards for Multiple-Family and Mixed-Use Residential Developments and the applicable provisions of Chapter 9.17.

In addition, corresponding amendments are proposed to the Landscape Standards handbook to remove the existing requirement that multifamily residential developments maintain a minimum landscaped area equal to 35 percent of the total site area.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The proposed Municipal Code Amendments (PEN26-0059) are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines in that the amendments involve general policy and procedure making, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

744

ID: 26-0271 Page 3

§ 9.03.040 Residential site development standards.

The following standards shall apply to land and permitted or conditionally permitted buildings and structures located within the herein described residential districts. The standards stated herein are not intended to prevent more restrictive private site development standards contained in the covenants, conditions and restrictions or other private consensual restrictions imposed on any property or dwelling unit. However, in no case shall private deed or other property restrictions be applied or recognized so as to permit a lesser standard than the minimum standards established in this title or to otherwise revise the standards established by this title.

A. Rural Residential Requirements.

1. Slope-Density-Natural Area Relationship. The maximum density (du/ac) and the minimum percent of a site to remain in a natural state shall be determined by a slope analysis applied to the Slope - Density-Natural Area Table, as defined below.
a. Slope-Density-Natural Area Table 9.03.040-4.

Slope Class
Allowable Density
(DU/Acre)
Amount of Open Space
Required
Greater than 25% 0.05 (1 du/20 ac) 60%

15.1% to 25% 0.10 (1 du/10 ac) 50%
10% to 15% 0.20 (1 du/5 ac) 35%
Less than 10% 0.40 (1 du/2.5 ac) n/a
b. Slope analysis calculations and mapping shall be provided by the applicant as described under subsection C of this section. The slope analysis shall be certified by a qualified civil engineer or licensed surveyor.
c. The total number of dwelling units permitted within a project area shall be the sum of the allowable dwelling units within each slope class. For example, if 10 acres of the project falls within the 10 to 15% slope class and five acres falls within the 15.1% to 25% slope class, then the total permitted yield shall be two dwelling units (10 ac x 0.10 du/ac plus 5 ac x 0.20 du/ac).

2. Minimum Lot Size. Minimum lot size shall be one dwelling unit per two and one-half acres within a slope category of 10% or less unless determined to be reduced by an approved slope analysis.

Based on the outcome of a slope analysis, minimum lot size within the rural residential district may be reduced to 20,000 square feet, or the minimum lot size of the adjacent zone, whichever is greater, if clustered on slopes of less than 10% and the lots are part of a project that preserves the steeper slope classes as natural open space by dedication to an appropriate governmental entity, open space easement, transfer of development rights or other means approved by the city. The ongoing maintenance of such open space areas shall be ensured through a mechanism approved by the city.

3. Subdivision Design and Future Land Divisions.
a. Subdivisions shall be compatible with the surrounding development pattern. A subdivision shall be considered compatible if the lots created along the outside boundary of the project are no smaller than the average lot size within 300 feet of the project boundary. Parcels greater than five acres in area shall be excluded from the calculations when determining the average lot size within 300 feet of the project boundary.
b. Subdivisions shall be designed in such a way as to transfer development density to the lower slope classes and preserve the steeper slopes for very low density and/or open space.

Subdivisions created in this way are prohibited from further division so as not to circumvent the density transfer and the purpose of the district. This restriction shall be binding on the 757 subdivider and subsequent land owners. Therefore, this restriction shall be secured by development agreement or other type of recorded deed restriction approved by the city.

4. Building Height. Dwellings and other accessory structures shall not exceed 30 feet in overall height, provided that on slopes of less than 10%, the overall height shall not exceed 35 feet.

5. Setbacks and Other Site Development Criteria. Front, side and rear setbacks and other site development standards not specifically referenced in this section shall be subject to the following standards:

Lot Size Standards
Under 40,000 s.f. R2 district standards
40,000 s.f. or greater R1 district standards

6. Grading within the rural residential district shall be performed as described under the hillside residential requirements, subsection (B)(6) of this section.

B. Hillside Residential Requirements.

1. Slope-Density-Natural Area Relationship. The maximum density (du/ac) and the percent of a site to remain in a natural state shall be determined by a slope analysis applied to the Slope -Density- Natural Area Table, as defined below.
a. Slope-Density-Natural Area Table 9.03.040-5.

Slope Class
Allowable Density
(DU/Acre)
Minimum Amount of
Open Space Required
Greater than 25% 0.10 (1 du/10 ac) 60%

15.1% to 25% 0.25 (1 du/4 ac) 50%
10% to 15% 0.50 (1 du/2 ac) 35%
Less than 10% 1.00 (1 du/ac) n/a
b. Slope analysis calculations and mapping shall be provided by the applicant as described under subsection C of this section. The community development director may require the slope analysis to be certified by a qualified civil engineer or licensed surveyor. c. The total number of dwelling units permitted within a project area shall be the sum of the allowable dwelling units within each slope class. For example, if 10 acres of the project falls within the 15.1% to 25% slope class and five acres falls within the greater than 25% slope class, then the total permitted yield shall be three dwelling units (10 ac x 0.25 du/ac plus 5 ac x 0.10 du/ac).

2. Minimum Lot Size. Minimum lot size shall be one acre within a slope category of 10% or less unless determined to be reduced by an approved slope analysis. Based on the outcome of a slope analysis, the lot size within the hillside residential district may b e reduced to 10,000 square feet or the minimum lot size of the adjacent zone, whichever is greater, if clustered on slopes of less than 10% and the lots are part of a project that preserves the steeper slope classes as natural open space by dedication to an appropriate governmental entity, open space easement, transfer of development rights or other means approved by the city. The ongoing maintenance of such open space areas shall be ensured through a mechanism approved by the city.

3. Subdivision Design and Future Land Divisions.
a. Subdivisions shall be compatible with the surrounding development pattern. A subdivision shall be considered compatible if the lots created along the outside boundary of the project are 758 no smaller than the average lot size within 300 feet of the project boundary. Parcels greater than five acres in area shall be excluded from the calculations when determining the average lot size within 300 feet of the project boundary.
b. Subdivisions shall be designed in such a way as to transfer development density to the lower slope classes and preserve the steeper slopes for very low density and/or open space.

Subdivisions created in this way are prohibited from further division so as not to circumvent the density transfer and the purpose of the district. This restriction shall be binding on the subdivider and subsequent land owners. Therefore, this restriction shall be secured by development agreement or other type of recorded deed restriction approved by the city.

4. Building Height. Dwellings and other accessory structures shall not exceed 30 feet in overall height, provided that on slopes of less than 10%, the overall height shall not exceed 35 feet.

Lot Size Standards
Less than 20,000 s.f. R-3 district standards
20,000 s.f. to 40,000 s.f. R-2 district standards
40,000 s.f. or greater R-1 district standards

6. Grading of any site shall be minimized and shall conform to the provisions contained in the city of Moreno Valley design guidelines, Ch. 9.16, under applications for hillside development, Article IV, Sections 9.16.170 through 9.16.235 of this title, and the following standards:

Slope Class Standards

15.1—25% Padded building sites may be allowed, but maximum use of custom foundations and split level designs shall be employed to reduce the need for large, padded building areas.

Above 25% Mass grading is not permitted. Special hillside architectural and design techniques are expected in order to conform to the natural landform. Homes constructed on lots within this terrain shall use custom, multiple -level foundations.

For all areas All graded areas shall be protected from wind and water erosion through acceptable slope stabilization methods such as planting, walls or jute netting.

C. Slope Calculations. For the purposes of this section, the following method will be used to determine slope.

1. "Slope" is defined as the relationship between the change in elevation (rise) of the land and the horizontal distance (run) over which that change in elevation occurs. The percent of any given slope is determined by dividing the rise by the run on the natural slope of land, multiplied by 100.

2. a. For the purpose of determining the amount and location of land falling into each slope category, the applicant shall submit to the community development department, at the time of application, a base topographic map of the subject site prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. Such a map shall have a scale of not less than one inch to 200 feet and a contour interval of not more than 10 feet. b. This base topographic map shall include all adjoining properties within 300 feet of the site 759 boundaries. Slope bands in the range of less than 10%, 10 to 15%, 15 to 25%, and greater than 25% shall be delineated on the topographic map. The map shall be accompanied by a tabulation of the land area in each slope category specified in acres. The exact method for computing the percent slope and area by percent slope category is to be sufficiently described and presented so that a review can readily be made.

3. Slope Mapping Method.
a. The percent slope of any particular piece of land shall be plotted on the map as described in this subsection.
b. In preparing a slope map, those portions of ravines, ridges and terraces of less area generally sloping at 25% slope or greater, shall be regarded as part of the bordering 25% slope or greater band.

D. General Residential Requirements. The following tables sets forth minimum site development standards for residential development projects in the specified residential districts. In addition, projects must comply with the special development standards enumerated in this section, the performance standards included in Chapter 9.10 and any other applicable city ordinances, policies and standards.

Usable common open space is open space and/or recreational amenities under joint (common) ownership, including, but not necessarily limited to, landscaped areas, trails, playgrounds, tennis courts, swimming pools and recreational buildings. A homeowners' association shall be established to provide continual maintenance of the commonly owned facilities.

6. For all developments within the R5 land use district, a buffer of lots held to the development standards of the R3 land use district shall be included for all portions of a subdivision located adjacent to lower density single-family residential land use districts, including the R1, R2, RA-2, and RR zones.

7. For all single-family residential developments in the R10, R15, R20, and R30 districts a planned unit development application shall be submitted to establish the applicable development standards.

8.

Table 9.03.040-8
Designation Minimum Density* Maximum Density
R10 8 units/acre 10 units/acre
R15 12 units/acre 15 units/acre
R20 16 units/acre 20 units/acre
R30 24 units/acre 30 units/acre

* Eighty percent of allowable density must be achieved by all multiple-family residential developments.

E. General Multiple-Family Guidelines.

1. Opposing garages or carports should be turned to avoid the monotony of alley-like parking corridors.

2. Parking areas should be staggered and landscaped to add visual interest, and opportunities for accent treatments.

3. Parking spaces within multifamily areas shall be located within 250 feet of the dwellings they serve.

4. Multifamily parking lots shall be limited to two double aisles of cars to help reduce expanses of paving. Parking lots shall provide openings in curbs to convey surface drainage into landscape areas for water quality, retention and absorption.

5. Open parking areas should be clustered and treated as landscaped plazas and courts.

6. Landscaping shall be used around the perimeter of the lot, as well as within the lot, reducing paved area and providing for a more pedestrian oriented site.

7. No more than four units for a two-story structure should be served by one entry.

8. Each multiple-family unit shall have at least 150 square feet of private open space per downstairs 765
15 unit and a minimum of 100 square feet of private open space per upstairs unit. Private open space may consist of a fenced yard area, patio or balcony. Fenced yards and patios shall have a minimum dimension of at least eight feet. Balconies shall be at least five feet deep.

9. Common open space at a minimum of 300 square feet per each residential dwelling in the project is required.

10. Individual units should have a porch or porch-like space at the front door.

11. Trash enclosures shall be located to provide a maximum walking distance of 250 feet from the units they serve.

12. Trash enclosures shall include solid roofs and be designed to be compatible with the project's architecture.

13. Trash enclosures shall not be located on dead end drive aisles, unless adequate turnaround is provided for collection vehicles.

14. There shall be at least one double-bin trash enclosure for every 48 residential units.

15. Mail boxes should be located at various places on the site and treated to match the building's architecture, avoiding the institutional and monumental "gang box" appearance, while conforming to post office guidelines.

16. Drive aisles should be curved and should incorporate landscaping and paving treatments to reduce vehicle speed. Landscaping treatments may include pinched planters and a mix of canopy and vertical trees. Paving treatments may include interlocking paver ban ds or etchings across drives.

Speed bumps or Botts' dots are not an acceptable alternative.

17. Freestanding structures, like gazebos or pergolas, should be located to define activity areas at pathway intersections or in secluded landscape areas.

18. Drive aisles shall be at least 24 feet wide for two -way traffic and shall be at least 20 feet wide for one-way traffic.

19. Buffer setbacks and landscaping shall be provided along all property lines. Buffers may also be appropriate within the complex, separating recreational areas from units and limiting lines of sight between balconies and into parking areas.

20. Multiple-family projects warrant special design considerations, including:
a. Intimate, shaded outdoor seating areas;
b. A network of pathways, providing interesting walking experiences; c. Gentle slopes for outdoor pathways and ramps to entry doors and between floors; d. Convenient and attractive access to transit, including porte cocheres, information kiosks, seating areas and water elements;
e. Security;
f. Direct ambulance access (senior housing projects);
g. Parking close to units;
h. Elevators (senior housing projects).

21. Multifamily units shall be clustered to minimize grading and to help maintain the natural 766
16 landscape.

22. Multifamily projects shall be designed for the needs of the intended residents. For example, children's needs would require open space, tot lots, handrails, and enclosed yards on ground floor units. Disabled or elderly needs would require ramps, parking close to units, minimum and gradual elevation changes and elevators.

23. Architectural features should be used to increase privacy from nearby units and common or public spaces.

24. Roof forms should be mixed and combined to vary the perception of building height, to differentiate units and to add interest to building mass. The long, straight roofline of a single gable is not permitted.

25. A diagram of the complex showing the location of the viewer and the building designations shall be positioned at each visitor entrance of a multiple-family development.

26. Buildings shall provide for a variety of colors and architectural features to break up the massing of buildings and provide visual interest.

AGENDA DATE: June 16, 2026

TITLE: AMENDMENT TO THE VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN 204
(SP 204) (PEN26-0019) (REPORT OF: COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT) (DISTRICT: 1)

TITLE SUMMARY: An Amendment to the Village Specific Plan 204 (SP 204), implementing the City’s Housing Element programs and
aligning with the updated zoning framework approved as part of the MoVal 2040 General Plan.

DISTRICT: District 1

Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

1. Find that the Addendum prepared to the MoVal 2040 Revised Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020039022), which was certified by the Moreno Valley City Council on April 21, 2026, complies with the applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and

SUMMARY

On May 28, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended on a 4 to 0 vote, with one 800

ID: 26-0273 Page 2
planning commissioner absent, that the City Council introduce and adopt the proposed Ordinance amending the Village Specific Plan 204 (SP 204).

The Amendment to the Village Specific Plan 204 (SP 204; “Project”) is based on direction established in the MoVal 2040 General Plan and the City’s Housing Element (2021 – 2029). The MoVal 2040 General Plan established the zoning framework for increasing allowable residential den sities from 15 to 20 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the Housing Element (2021-2029) includes Program 3-D (Lot Consolidation), which calls for updates to the Village Specific Plan 204 (SP 204) to facilitate additional housing capacity as part of add ressing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The project received funding through the State Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) funding program. The Amendment to SP 204 includes increasing densities from 15 to 20 dwelling units per acre on Village Residential (VR) parcels by applying the R20-VR SP 204 zoning approved April 21, 2026, with the MoVal 2040 General Plan Update, updating development standards, and introducing incentives to facilitate lot consolidation and improve development feasib ility. Together, these changes are intended to support new housing production and accommodate a broader range of housing choices throughout the SP 204 area.

DISCUSSION

Proposed Project

The original Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 was adopted in May 1987 and limited to the Sunnymead Boulevard corridor. In May 1998, the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 was merged with the Village at Sunnymead Overlay to become the Village Specif ic Plan 204 (SP 204). The goal of the Specific Plan was to facilitate development in the Village Plan, to provide the necessary flexibility for the special Village mixed-use and mixed -density zones and development standards, and to enhance the strategies that identify the Village as a special place.

The Proposed Amendment (PEN26 -0019) to the Village Specific Plan 204 (SP 204) expands housing options and choices in the Specific Plan Area while creating consistency with the City’s General Plan and adopted H ousing Element. While the City has already met its 6th Cycle (2021-2029) RHNA obligations, the update addresses an identified need for additional housing types that serve empty nesters, multigenerational households, students, and residents seeking more aff ordable options . Rising housing costs and ongoing demand underscore the importance of providing a broader mix of units, particularly in areas with aging neighborhood amenities. The Amendment to the SP 204 largely focuses on R-20 VR (also known as VR) parcels, previously zoned as VR, which allowed 15 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). Many existing Village Residential (VR) lots are already developed with a single -family home and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or with small two- to four-unit buildings, demonstrating the area’s suitability for incremental infill. The update modernizes development standards and aligns VR parcels with the Residential 20 ( R20) zoning district’s density within the 2040 MoVal General Plan and better supports the previously mentione d housing types. The update also includes new lot consolidation incentives to facilitate medium-density development and implement 801

ID: 26-0273 Page 3
Housing Element Program 3-D (described below). Together, these actions help to remove local constraints, promote reinvestment, and help deliver a more diverse and attainable housing supply for the community.

Program 3-D: Offer incentives to encourage the development of higher-density housing in the Sunnymead Village area, which has numerous small vacant and underutilized lots in proximity to transit stops, parks, and shopping. Incentives may include reductions in development standards (e.g., parking, common open space), expedited permit processing, or subsidizing a portion of development costs with available funding.

Responsible Agency: City of Moreno Valley Planning Division and Moreno Valley Housing Authority

Objective: Encourage the consolidation of smaller, adjacent lots in a centrally located area of the city where higher density would support retail vitality and more fr equent/reliable transit service.

Site and Surrounding Area

The Village Specific Plan Area (Plan Area) is located south of State Route 60. The Plan Area is generally bounded by State Route 60 to the north, Frederick Street and Heacock Street to the west, Perris Boulevard to the east, and Dracaea Avenue to the south.

As such, t here are approximately 714 parcels designated as Village Residential (VR) within the Plan Area (also referred to as R20 -SP 204 VR). Approximately 11 percent of these parcels are vacant. The median parcel size is 0.29 acres (or 12,875 s quare feet); however, because more than 90 percent of VR parcels are developed, the typical lot is better represented by non-vacant parcels, which have a median size of 13,000 s quare feet. Many VR parcels (72 percent) are occupied by single-family homes, with or without accessory dwelling units. Small multifamily buildings with two to four units account for a modest but meaningful share of the existing development pattern, indicating that low - scale multifamily development is already established in VR neighborhoods.

Grant Funding

The Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 program provides grant funding to support local jurisdictions in advancing housing, sustainability, and climate -resilient planning efforts. Through this program, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) collaborates with regional partners, such as the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), to distribute resources and provide technical assistance. The City of Moreno Valley applied for REAP funding to implement the Village Specific Plan Update, which accomplishes the following local and regional goals, including:
 Supporting housing production and affordability
 Updating planning tools to remove barriers to development  Promoting infill and mixed-use development
802

ID: 26-0273 Page 4

The partnership between SCAG and WRCOG ensures that the project benefits from both regional coordination and local expertise, helping to create a plan that is implementable, community-focused, and consistent with statewide priorities. The grant funding expenditure deadline is June 30, 2026.

The Specific Plan Amendment aims to modernize development standards and align Village Residential (VR) or R20-VR parcels with the district to better support a m ore diverse range of housing options. Updates include flexible development standards related to parking, setbacks, and site design. The update also includes new lot consolidation incentives to facilitate additional development and implement Housing Element Program 3-D. Together, these actions help remove local constraints, promote reinvestment, and deliver a more diverse and attainable housing supply for the community.

Public Outreach

Outreach efforts included two Community Open Houses held on April 22 an d April 23, 2026, at the Moreno Valley Conference & Recreation Center. Both events featured Spanish interpretation and bilingual materials. To promote attendance, the City distributed over 900 bilingual mailers, posted flyers at community spaces, emailed e lected officials and interested parties, and promoted the events on social media. The open houses drew approximately 13 attendees, including three City Planning Commissioners, property owners, and developers.

The project team also conducted interviews wit h experienced local developers and community partners to gather insight into market conditions, development constraints, and feasibility within the Project area. These conversations helped inform the Village Specific Plan Update.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Proposed Project has been evaluated in compliance with the criteria set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. An Addendum has been prepared for the MoVal 2040 Revised Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2020039022), which was certified by the Moreno Valley City Council on April 21, 2026. The MoVal 2040 Revised Program EIR was prepared to address the environmental impacts associated with three long-term plans that will be implemented as policy documents guiding future development activities and related City actions, including:
the General Plan Update (GPU); Associated Zoning Text Amendments to Title 9 of the City’s Municipal Code (Planning & Zoning) and Zoning Atlas Amendments; and the 2024 Climate Action Plan (CAP). Per CEQA Section 15164, this Addendum evaluates whether modifications associated with the Village Specific Plan Update (Proposed Project) would result in new or substantially more adverse significant effects or require new mitigation measures not identified in the MoVal 2040 Revised Program EIR. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that implementation of the Proposed Project does not propose substantial changes to the approved project, no substantial changes in 803

ID: 26-0273 Page 5
circumstances would occur which would require major revisions to the MoVal 2040 Revised Program EIR, and no new information of substantial importance has been revealed since approval of the MoVal 2040 Revised Program EIR that would result in new significant effects.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Introduce the Ordinances as presented to and recommended by the Planning Commission and adopt the Ordinances at a subsequent City Council meeting. Staff prefer this alternative.

2. Do not introduce and adopt the Ordinances. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impacts are anticipated from the approval and adoption of the p roposed Ordinance. However, it is anticipated that the proposed modifications will streamline housing regulations, which is expected to positively impact residential development and yield a positive fiscal impact for the City.

NOTIFICATION

Consistent wi th the public hearing notice requirements of the City of Moreno Valley Municipal Code provisions, a public hearing notice was published in the Press Enterprise Newspaper on June 5, 2026, at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. As of the preparation o f this Staff Report, no public comment has been received regarding the proposed Project.

- City of Moreno Valley, California -

PROLOGUE
In the late 1970s and through the 1980s western Riverside County, including the City of Moreno Valley (see Exhibit A), experienced a phenomenal increase in new development. This development, which had its origins in Los Angeles and Orange counties, had spread east in response to lower prices for land, and provided affordable housing and commercial resources for the increase in population that was taking place in Southern California.

At the apex of this development wave, Moreno Valley, incorporated in 1984, was teeming with construction activity.

Developers came from all over to invest. It was said that Moreno Valley at that time typified one of the boomtowns of the early west. During this boom time, the City's first General Plan was being developed, and City leaders were optimistic and confident as they identified their visions for the future and created the City's guidelines. This optimism and confidence were reflected in their direction for the existing Sunnymead Boulevard commercial area and the Village at Sunnymead Overlay District, a residential district south of the Boulevard (see Exhibit B).

Fast forward to today, Moreno Valley is the second most populous city in Riverside County with over 205,000 residents. As reflected in the MoVal 2040 General Plan, this can be attributed to a range of quality housing options including higher -end executive homes, affordable single -family homes, and condominiums ; a family -friendly lifestyle; good schools; and impressive quality-of-life amenities and growing job centers. Since 2000, the City has added over 15,000 new homes, and with 8,900 acres of vacant land within the City limit, there is considerable opportunity for housing and employment -related development in the future. The strategic updates provided as part of the Village Specific Plan 204 Update (2026) recognize and honor the vision, guiding principles, and objectives in the MoVal 2040 General Plan and the City’s latest Housing Element (2021–2029), and serve as an implementation tool to diversify and grow the range of housing opportunities in the Specific Plan area.

Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan – The City Council, aware that adoption of the General Plan was possibly several years in the future and knowing that a plan was needed immediately to direct new development and redevelopment in the older core areas of the City, adopted an action plan for Su nnymead Boulevard in the form of the Sunnymead Boulevard 818
The Village Prologue Page ii
Specific Plan in 1987. (The General Plan was adopted in 1988.) The Plan identified an architectural and design format and a project approval process that proved later to hinder renovation and/or expansion of existing development as well as some new development.

Village at Sunnymead Overlay District – At the time the General Plan was adopted, there was the perception that new development could be steered to the older Sunnymead residential area through the creation of the Village at Sunnymead Overlay District. Although there was existing development in this area, there were many vacant or under-utilized lots. This District identified a large area just south of the Boulevard for office uses which would act as a transition area between the commercial Boulevard and the residential area to the south. It was anticipated that developers would consolidate the small parcels, perhaps eliminate some substandard housing, and update existing infrastructures while developing new office projects. The rest of the District was identified as mixed density residential with a density potential of 4 detached dwelling units per acre (du/ac) to 15 attached du/ac. This range of densities was intended to encourage lot consolidation and multi-family development by increasing the density of dwelling units in proportion to lot size. Several multi-family complexes have been developed since the District has been in place. With the downswing in development that southern California has experienced in the 1990s, it was time to reassess this area and identify whether the former vision for the Boulevard and the Village at Sunnymead is still viable. While new development has taken place on the Boulevard, much more was expected. The Office zoning in the Village area has not resulted in office development. The mixed density concept for the residential zone in the Village, however, has resulted in some new development. In recognition of the above, City Council directed staff to conduct a reassessment of the commercial and residential areas of Sunnymead in the context of current trends, economic realities and changes that have taken place in the community and the region and to identify visions and goals for the future of these two areas through community input. As a result of this reassessment, a new action plan was developed. The Village Plan, a new look at commercial and residential revitalization for the historic community of Sunnymead, proposes: unique zoning opportunities, planning policies, and development standards to help revitalization take place; and an implementation schedule identifying alternative funding mechanisms for outdated or needed infrastructure and other revitalization elements. To facilitate planning future development in the Village, a three- part Village document has been created as follows:
819
The Village Prologue Page iii
A. PART I – The Village Concept
In recognition of the historic character of the Sunnymead Boulevard commercial district and the residential community of Sunnymead and to address the need for commercial revitalization, the Village Concept reviews the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan, the Village at Sunnymead Overlay District, and the revitalization strategies which were used to create the Village Plan. The Village Concept acts as the introduction, background and intent of the Village Plan and functions as the Staff Report or text.

B. PART II – The Village Plan
The Village Plan is the Design Man ual for the Village. It establishes innovative zoning and development standards and policies for the Village and provides for the unique mixed land use and density opportunities. It creates a potential stimulus for new development, redevelopment, and upgrading of properties in the Village area and provides a catalyst to help develop the critical mass necessary for mixed-use development.

C. PART III – The Village Implementation Schedule
The Village Implementation Schedule identi fies a yearly strategy for identifying and funding needed infrastructure improvements in the Village. Although the Schedule identifies a wish list for City Council consideration, each Village project must still compete with other projects and areas of the City for limited yearly funding available.

1. PART I – THE VILLAGE

CONCEPT

The Village Concept Page I 1

1. PART I – THE VILLAGE CONCEPT
- The City of Moreno Valley, California -

1.1 BACKGROUND
The Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 has guided the development of the Sunnymead Boulevard corridor since its adoption on May 26, 1987. In the following years, the economic viability of the Boulevard, a two mile long "strip" commercial district, has been impacted by the development of the TownGate commercial area at the Boulevard's western terminus and other commercial centers throughout the City.

In response to City Council recognition of the need for revitalization of the Sunnymead Boulevard commercial and residential areas and from community input, a three-part Village Concept /Plan/Implementation Schedule has been developed.

The Village Specific Plan Update (2026) is based on direction established in the MoVal 2040 General Plan and the City’s Housing Element (2021–2029). The MoVal 2040 General Plan established the framework for increasing allowable residential densities from 15 du/ac to 20 du/ac. Consistent with this direction, the Housing Element (2021–2029) includes Program 3-D (Lot Consolidation), which calls for updates to this specific plan to facilitate additional housing capacity.

Program 3-D: Offer incentives to encourage the development of higher density housing in the Sunnymead Village area, which has numerous small vacant and underutilized lots in proximity to transit stops, parks, and shopping. Incentives may include reductions in development standards (e.g., parking, common open space), expedited permit processing, or subsidizing a portion of development costs with available funding.

Responsible Agency: City of Moreno Valley Planning Division and Moreno Valley Housing Authority Objective: Encourage the consolidation of smaller, adjacent lots in a centrally located area of the city where higher density would support retail vitality and more frequent/reliable transit service.

The Village Specific Plan Update (2026) implements the MoVal 2040 General Plan and the City’s Housing Element by increasing densities on residential parcels, updating development standards , and introducing incentives to facilitate lot 824
The Village Concept Page I 2
consolidation and improve development feasibility. Together, these changes are in tended to support new housing production and accommodate a broader range of housing choices throughout the Plan area.

1.1.1 The City of Moreno Valley General Plan
The General Plan, adopted September 20, 1988, identified Sunnymead Boulevard as a major gateway into the City.

The Boulevard initially acted as a freeway-oriented commercial focal point and provided a wide variety of office, retail and service-related uses and employment opportunities. Earlier General plan iterations anticipated that Sunnymead Boulevard would function as Moreno Valley's "downtown" area. Today’s landscape highlights Sunnymead Boulevard as a local commercial spine lined with retail centers, malls, restaurants, older commercial corridors, and high-density residential neighborhoods along with small essential community businesses.

Since the City first adopted its general plan in 1988, there have been several updates , the most recent being the MoVal 2040 General Plan (adopted in 2026). Building on prior efforts, the current update reinforces a corridor-focused growth strategy that prioritizes reinvestment along key arterials such as Sunnymead Boulevard. Within the specific plan area, the General Plan promotes higher -density residential and mixed -use development, encourages the redevelopment of underutilized and aging commercial parcels, and calls for enhanced urban design, walkability, and streetscape improvements to transform the corridor into a more cohesive and vibrant environment.

1.1.2 Redevelopment Plan
Adopted by the City Council on December 29, 1987, the purpose of the Redevelopment Plan was to focus community resources on improving certain deteriorated or underutilized property. The Plan states that areas within the Redevelopment Project Area were targeted for redevelopment, rehabilitation, and revitalization and were to be accomplished through the use of the powers, duties and obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency. Effective February 1, 2012, the State of California ceased operating local redevelopment agencies. The goals for the Project Area include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. To eliminate and prevent blight and deterioration through conservation, rehabilitation and redevelopment. 825
The Village Concept Page I 3

2. To promote new and continuing private sector investment thereby preventing loss of commercial sales activity and facilitating capture of additional sales.

3. To achieve a positive visual image by promoting a high standard for design, architecture, and landscape through mutual cooperation and assistance of property owners, businesses and public agencies.

4. To retain and/or expand as many existing businesses as p ossible by utilizing redevelopment and rehabilitation activities.

5. To create and develop local job opportunities and to preserve and expand the City's existing employment base.

6. To improve inadequate or antiquated infrastructure adversely affecting the project area.

7. To improve housing supplies (including opportunities for low and moderate-income households and seniors), child care opportunities, and useable parkland accessibility within the project area.

The Redevelopment Plan identified the Sunnymead Boulevard corridor and the residential area to the south as part of the City's redevelopment Project Area. Although the Redevelo pment Agency has since been dissolved, the underlying goals of the Redevelopment Plan remain relevant and continue to inform planning efforts in the Plan Area.

The Village Plan works hand-in-hand with many of the goals of the Redevelopment Plan.

1.1.3 Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204
Adopted by the City Council in May of 1987, the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 was i ntended as a self - contained land use plan with design standards and guidelines for the development of the Sunnymead Boulevard commercial corridor. The standards and guidelines were created to enhance the "community gateway" and "commercial focal point" concepts.

The Specific Plan was intended as Phase I of an ultimate Specific Plan (Phase II) for the Boulevard. Phase I would remain in effect until the General Plan and a Redevelopment Plan were adopted. Then Phase II would be developed to conform with the adopted plans. The Village Plan fulfills the intent of Phase II and also addresses current concerns for revitalization.
826
The Village Concept Page I 4
Phase I proposed the following elements be addressed by Phase II:

1. Refinement of land uses and design standards/guidelines based on the adopted Moreno Valley General Plan and Redevelopment Plans.

2. Plan development and phasing of a median island along Sunnymead Boulevard.

3. Development of incentive programs for the consolidation of existing lots and drive entries.

4. Creation of site-specific design guidelines and proposals for various properties within the corridor.

5. Development plans, requirements and phasing of bus turnouts and acceleration/deceleration lanes along Sunnymead Boulevard.

In 1994, City Council directed staff to review and revise the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 with consideration of the elements to be addressed in the ultimate plan—Phase II. Staff was to evaluate the plan, existing policies and their viability with respect to current market trends and redevelopment opportunities. In addition, staff was directed to obtain public input from prope rty owners, business owner s, residents and interested citizens regarding their vision for the area.

1.1.4 The Village at Sunnymead Overlay District
The General Plan designated the area south of the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 to Dracaea Avenu e between Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard as the Village at Sunnymead. The intent was to provide opportunities for a variety of residential, commercial, office, cultural, and recreational activities. The goals include the following:

1. To encourage a diversity of uses appropriate to a suburban "central city" area.

2. To reconfigure and consolidate elongated or flag parcels.

3. To foster logical and gradual replacement of older land uses functioning at less than their market potential.

4. To support or require consolidation of access points and creation of reciprocal access.

5. To advocate projects which strengthen the City's economic base and provide local job opportunities.

6. To encourage distinctive, high image/value commercial clusters at important intersections.

7. To develop harmonious transitions between commercial, office and residential uses. 827
The Village Concept Page I 5

8. To create a sense of human scale and provide pedestrian-oriented amenities.

9. Permit a mixed density residential area based on square footage of the proposed parcel.

City Council directed staff to include the Village at Sunnymead and the above goals for consideration in the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 review and revision. The Council felt that it was important to include the residential area as well as the commercial area in any studies undertaken because of the potential impacts each had on the vitality of the other. The importance of this was reiterated by participants during community workshops.

1.2 COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS

1.2.1 Step One – Community Involvement
The first step in the reassessment of the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan 204 and the Village at Sunnymead was to involve the community. The City's former Redevelopment Agency conducted two public information gathering workshops t o identify issues, visions, and options for the areas. Flyers announcing the workshops were sent to property owners within the two areas and to business owners on the Boulevard. Ads and articles about the workshops were published in the local Valley Times and regional Press-Enterprise newspapers. Announcements were made on cable/public access TV, and flyers were distributed at City Hall. Both workshops, well attended by residents, property owners and businessmen, were facilitated by an outside consultant a nd with the assistance of City staff. Results of the workshops were presented to City Council at a Study Session on July 5, 1994.

1.2.1.1 Workshop No. 1
Community Issues and Visions (April 25, 1994) Attendance - 78 (exclusive of staff) The goal of this workshop was to focus on visions for the Boulevard and Village. Small group discussions were held for each area on the following:
a. Land Use/Activities
b. Circulation
c. Landscaping
828
The Village Concept Page I 6
d. Design
e. Infrastructure

1.2.1.2 Workshop No. 2
Planning and Design Options (May 23, 1994) Attendance - 67 (exclusive of staff) The goal of this workshop was to rank options identified during Workshop No. 1 and establish direction for changes, modifications and revisions to the Specific Plan and Overlay District. T he options were divided into the following categories:
a. The Boulevard

1. Alternative Boulevard Themes

2. Segment Themes

3. Entry Statements

4. Median Options

5. Street Trees

6. Planting Strips

7. Pedestrian Amenities

8. Building Placement and Orientation

9. Building Heights

10. Parking and Site Access

11. Street Signs

12. Strategic Sites for Community Facilities
b. The Village

1. Image and Identity

2. Streetscape

3. Flood Control Channel
829
The Village Concept Page I 7

4. Zoning

1.2.1.3 Summary Report – Workshop Nos. 1 and 2
A Summary Report of the workshop process and findings was created by the consultant in June 1994. The Report identified the participants preferences as follows:
a. Overall Study Area

1. Consider addressing the Boulevard and the Village areas as one planning area.

2. Improve the connection between the Boulevard and the Village through street and pedestrian improvements.
b. The Boulevard

1. Create a unique identity and character along the Boulevard.

2. Achieve a unified, rather than a uniform, appearance along the Boulevard through flexible design with guidelines for architectural elements and landscaping.

3. Establish a pedestrian-oriented shopping area or zone along the Boulevard.

4. Include people-friendly spaces, smaller scale building design, and landscaping amenities in the pedestrian-oriented area.

5. Establish entry statements at key locations throughout the study area.

6. Encourage community and civic facilities in the pedestrian-oriented zone.

7. Encourage mid-rise buildings in the auto-oriented zone.

8. Refrain from building continuous medians along the Boulevard.

9. Further study the advantages and disadvantages of on street parking along the Boulevard. c. The Village

1. Improve the connection to the Boulevard.

2. Retain the residential nature of the Village.
830
The Village Concept Page I 8

3. Use unique signs, tree planting, street lighting and sidewalks to help bolster the identity of the Village area.

4. Study the feasibility of creating a public bike/pedestrian trail along the flood control channel.

1.2.2 Step Two – Community Involvement
After the two public workshops and City Council discussions, the Village Concept and Plan began to evolve. With direction from the public and Council, City staff explored the mixed use and mixed density (residential) concepts, developed a draft land use/zoning plan, identified potential land use conflicts, generated design guidelines and development standard, and presented them to the residents, business and property owners and interested ci tizens at a third Community Meeting held for discussion and input.

1.2.2.1 Workshop No. 3
The Village Concept and Plan (May 8, 1995) Attendance - 48 (exclusive of staff) The goal of the third workshop was to familiarize the participants with the Village Concept and Plan and to receive confirmation and/or comment on the direction in which the plan was being developed.

1.2.2.2 Proposed Village Concept and Plan
The Village Concept and Plan were well received by the workshop participants , which included two Moreno Valley Planning Commissioners. Comments and suggestions, as well as neighborhood problems, were discussed. The following list identifies comments, concerns and suggestions offered at the meeting with a comment in parentheses as to the action taken by staff regarding the issue:
a. Provide more crosswalks on Sunnymead Boulevard in conjunction with medianettes. (This issue was addressed in the Traffic Study for the Village.)
b. Continue infrastructure and street improvements in the V illage area. (The Village Implementation Schedule will address continued improvements in infrastructure and street improvements as funding becomes available. New development will also assist with improvements when applicable.) 831
The Village Concept Page I 9
c. Retain the Sunnymead Boulevard name - keep the historic character of the Boulevard in place. (There is no name change proposed.)
d. Explore a zone change to Office on the southeast corner of Heacock and Eucalyptus. (The parcel i n question is an office building which was approved and constructed under Ordinance 348, the Riverside County zoning ordinance in place at the time. With adoption of the City’s General Plan, the area was designated as residential which has no provision for office uses. Thus, the office became a legal non - conforming use. It is not necessary to change the zone to accommodate this existing use.) e. Develop a looped trolley/bus line on the Boulevard and within the City. (This issue will be explored with the Riverside Transit Agency as bus routes are periodically reviewed within the City.) f. Improve the view and identification of the Village from the freeway with signs and landscape. (This will be an ongoing project as Caltrans implements their landscape plans for the Moreno Valley Freeway between Day Street and Na son Street and by proposed entry monument signs at each end of the Village.)
g. Explore the possibility of the Village Office/Residential (VOR) land use designation on both sides of Indian Street. (The VOR zone has been expanded to include this area.) h. Promote history of Moreno Valley with museums and cultural activities on the Boulevard. (Part of the Village downtown or pedestrian oriented area scenario is to encourage such uses and activities.) i. Explore east-west access, such as rear parking lots and alleyways/drive aisles south of Sunnymead Boulevard to develop drainage facilities and access to the rear of properties fronting on the Boulevard. (This is to be encouraged and has been developed as a Village Policy). j. Explore all parking alternatives to allow for new and expansion of existing development. (This issue is addressed in the Village Plan in the Section titled Development Standards.) k. Security is an issue to consider when increasing pedestrian activities. (Security is always an issue when developing new proposals. Overall security issues are addressed in the City’s Municipal Code and will be specifically addressed when individual projects are reviewed.) Note: The feasibility of creating a public bike/pedestrian trail along the flood control channel was considered during City Council/Planning Commission Joint Study Sessions. It was deleted as an option in the Village Plan at this time due to security concerns.

l. The Heacock Street/Postal Avenue intersection was identified in the community workshops as an issue to be reviewed since it is very congested. (This issue is under consideration by the Public Works Department as a separate issue from the Village Plan.)

1.2.3 Step Three – Community Involvement
As part of the City’s Sixth Cycle Housing Element implementation, the City included Housing Element Program (3 -D) focused on updating the Village Specific Plan (SP -204) to support additional housing capacity and advance State housing goals. This update proactively increases residential capacity identified in the 2026 update to the City’s General Plan, the MoVal 2040 General Plan, by increasing allowable densities on Village Residential (VR) from 15 du/ac to 20 du/ac through the implementation of the R -20 zone. Funding for this effort was provided through the State’s Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 grant program.

As part of the Village Specific Plan (SP-204) update, the City conducted two public workshops (Workshop No. 4 and Workshop No. 5, respectively) to share information and gather community input on the future of the plan area. The City hosted two open house events on April 22, 2026 , and April 23, 2026. Both events featured Spanish interpretation and bilingual materials. To drive attendance, the City distributed over 900 bilingual mailers, posted flyers at community spaces, emailed elected officials and interested parties, and promoted the events on social media. The open houses drew approximately 13 attendees, including 3 City Commissioners, property owners, and developers.

Community feedback highlighted interest in a range of neighborhood amenities, including better access to high-quality transit and safe bike infrastructure, additional shade features and improved neighborhood lighting, access to daily needs and services (such as local markets, sit down restaurants, and childcare) , and additional community gathering spaces within the Plan area. The Open Houses also provided opportunities for attendees to meet one -on-one with the project team. Through these conversations, the project team talked to multiple property owners and prospective developers within the Plan area, all of which were energized by the opportunity to modernize and update the Village Specific Plan.

These conversations revealed near-term interest in developing or redeveloping their properties and affirmed support for updating and modernizing development standards (specifically related to parking, site design, open space, and lot consolidation incentives).
833
The Village Concept Page I 11

Balancing community feedback received through the public workshops, the City also conducted three interviews with developers and community partners to better understand the constraints and opportunities associated with developing in the Plan area. Interviewees included developers with past and/or current experience building in the City and therefore are familiar with the City’s existing development landscape. Input from these interviews demonstrated development interest in the Plan area and confirmed the need for missing-middle housing types (e.g., duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and accessory dwelling units as an attractive housing option. The conversations highlighted key barriers to development, including limited financing availability, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure deficiencies that increase project costs and timelines. Participants also identified lot consolidation incentives that could improve feasibility, such as density bonuses, reduced parking requirements, and more streamlined approval processes.

1.3 THE VILLAGE REVITALIZATION STRATEGIES
A strong message heard from the participants in the community workshops was to consider addressing the Boulevard and the Overlay District as one planning area. Another strong message was to encourage a mix of uses on the same piece of property, even within the same structure, to explore the possibility of living and working in the same building, "like in the past when you lived above your shop." These messages mesh strongly with the basic precepts found in revitalization plans for older areas: the need to increase the number of people living and working in the area; the need to decrease dependence on the auto; the need to provide opportunities for public, bicycle and pedestrian transit; and the need to provide opportunities for rehabilitation and expansion of existing structures without onerous requirements; and to provide incentives for new developments.

1.3.1 Revitalization Strategies
There are several strategies currently identified for commercial as well as community revitalization. Common to all of the strategies is the identification that the people—the residents, the business owners and the property owners— of the community must be involved in the plan. The strategies state that community meetings should be held to bring citizens together in an open forum to discuss their visions and concerns. The goal of the meetings should be to create a sense of community and to identify a common list of project goals. The Village Plan was developed utilizing concepts from each of the following revitalization strategies to create a unique, viable approach for the Village—the Sunnymead Boulevard commercial center and the residential community of Sunnymead Boulevard. 834
The Village Concept Page I 12

1.3.1.1 Heterogeneity
The idea of multi-activities in one space, or heterogeneity, has been identified as a modern-day reincarnation of a lifestyle common earlier in the twentieth century. This concept is found in compact, walkable communities and is a model for revitalization of older developments. It is a reversal of the "separate uses/separate zones" concept which is a basic axiom of most suburban land use plans. The Federal government popularized low cost new home loans for returning GI’s after World War II. As a result, middle -class Americans moved out to the suburbs to buy into the American dream - a developer built, freestanding, single family home with a large lawn located in neighborhoods removed from shopping and the work place. The result was decay of existing homes and cities which did not qualify for the loans and the creation of exclusive dependence on the automobile because everything was now separated out.

1.3.1.2 New Urbanism
"New Urbanism," a term coupled with "livable communities," "healthy cities," "sustainable growth," and "neo- traditional town planning ," also reflects infill development, transit -orientated development , and complete communities. Plans guided by these principles typically support a mix of land uses and housing types , designed with high -quality urban design to encourage social and comm unity interaction and accessibility.

Development is designed to accommodate multiple modes of travel, including walking, bicycling, transit, and vehicles.

This concept, with adap tation for modern life, is based on town planning principles of the 1920s, which emphasized compact, walkable neighborhood design. That time was typified by the following:
a. Narrow streets
b. Houses and buildings oriented to the sidewalk and to the neighbors while still providing privacy c. Neighborhoods with a variety of uses
d. Buildings of civic importance
Communities planned with these principles are intended to support more efficient land use patterns, reduce reliance on long vehicle trips, and enhance overall livability by improving access to daily needs, services, and amenities.
835
The Village Concept Page I 13

1.3.1.3 Ahwahnee Principles
Another popular revitalization concept is based on the Ahwahnee Principles. This strategy was the subject of an article in the September 1994, issue of Western City published by the League of California Cities. A group of architects developed a set of community principles and defined how these principles might be implemented to provide an alternative to the problem of urban sprawl. The principles, divided into community, regional and implementation categories were presented to about 100 local elected o fficials at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. They were subsequently identified as the Ahwahnee Principles.

The principles developed for the return to the walkable city at the community, or Village level, are as follows:
a. All planning should be in the form of complete and integrated communities containing housing, shops, work places, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the residents. b. Community size should be designed so that housing, jobs, daily needs and other activities a re within easy walking distance of each other.
c. As many activities as possible should be located within easy walking distance of transit stops. d. A community should contain a diversity of housing types to enable citizens from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to live within its boundaries. e. Business within the community should provide a range of job types for the community's residents. f. The location and character of the community should be consistent with a larger transit network. g. The community should have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural and recreational uses.
h. The community should contain an ample supply of specialized open space in the form of squares, greens and parks whose frequent use is encouraged through placement and design. i. Public spaces should be designed to encourage the attention and presence of people at all hours of the day and night.
j. Each community or cluster of communities should have a well -defined edge, such as agricultural greenbelts or wildlife corridors, permanently protected from development. 836
The Village Concept Page I 14
k. Streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths should contribute to a system of fully -connected and interesting routes to all destinations, Their design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being small and spatially defined by buildings, trees and lighting; and by discouraging high speed traffic. l. Whenever possible, the natural terrain, drainage, and vegetation of the community should be preserved. Superior examples should be contained within parks or greenbelts. m. The community design should help conserve resources and minimize waste. n. Communities should provide for the efficient use of water through the use of natural drainage, drought tolerant landscaping and recycling.
o. The street orientation, placement of buildings, and use of shading should contribute to the energy efficiency of the community.

1.3.2 The Village Concept and Plan
The Village incorporates most of the above strategies as well as other current strategies for commercial and community revitalization in its Concept and Plan. The emphasis of these strategies is directed, however, primarily toward the commercial area of Sunnymead Boulevard betwee n Heacock Street and Indian Street. This  mile long portion has been identified as having the potential for a pedestrian oriented downtown concept. It is the center of the Village Plan area, or rather the Village Center, and has a current mix of existing residential uses and small business found on narrow lots within small structures. This area provides a higher density than anywhere else on the Boulevard. The concept of mixed use, an important component of any downtown revitalization strategy, is alre ady existing. Expanding on that concept allows for new mixed use opportunities, as well as expansion of older structures and/or uses, to increase density and economic viability.

The concept of heterogeneity, which is mixed uses and mixed density, will impart a sense of a "special place." Utilizing the concepts of New Urbanism, including special setbacks and development standards, a pedestrian -oriented area in the Village will be possible. The Ahwahnee Community Principles give direction for site planning and give relevance to community-oriented policies within the Village.

Independent and without knowledge of the above revitalization strategies, the participants in the Community Workshops expressed a desire to go back in time to the "olden days" when you could live behind or above your 837
The Village Concept Page I 15
shop or office. This concept was abandoned during the explosive residential building boom in the United States which occurred after the Second World War. The postwar idyllic life style occurred away from the heterogeneous city, away from the work place; it occurred in the newly created suburbs. As was stated before, this attempt at creating an exemplary life style created separate zones for separate uses. This type of land use planning has its limitations. Separation of uses makes it impossible to live an independent life style, independent, that is, of the automobile. Now, however, people are finding it more economic and less time consuming to live in mixed use developments - walkable cities.

Citizen input, current planning land use theory, and the existing land uses in the area provided the direction to propose mixed land use opportunities in the Village - the development of a neighborhood commercial area within walking distance of most of the Village, be it the Boulevard or at the intersection of Indian Street and Eucalyptus Avenue. By retaining and encouraging residential uses, the number of users in close proximity can be increased. In response to the mixed uses, the Village Plan is designed to encouraged pedestrian uses to create a sense of neighborhood.

Building on these foundational concepts and community input, the Specific Plan focuses on targeted regulatory and land use changes to support reinvestment and housing production within the Village. This includes the introduction of implementing zones aligned with updated land use designations, as well as increases in allowable residential densities to better reflect current market conditions and community needs. The update places a strong emphasis on expanding housing opportunities, including affordable housing, through a broader range of housing types, including clustered development, zero lot line homes, and “missing middle” formats such as duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-unit buildings. These changes respond to shifting demographics, evolving household preferences, and the need for more diverse and attainable housing options. Collectively, the updated framework is intended to reinforce the Village Center as a more active, walkable, and inclusive mixed-use environment.

1.3.3 The Village Plan Format
With more than 750 acres involved in t he Village Plan area, it is important to identify the planning tool or vehicle by which this revitalization plan can be facilitated. The California Government Code (Sections 65450, et. seq.) identifies the specific plan as a significant tool available to cities to aid in the development of large scale planned development which includes heterogeneity, that is, the concept of mixed uses. To facilitate development of the Village Plan, to 838
The Village Concept Page I 16
provide the necessary flexibility for the special Village mixed use and m ixed density zones and development standards, and to enhance the strategies that identify the Village as a special place, it is necessary to utilize the specific plan format. This format will ensure that the Village:

1. Complies with the City’s existing General Plan goals and objectives.

2. Creates the zoning and development standards unique only to the Village.

3. Expands the existing RDA implementation program through the creation of a focused Village Implementation Schedule.

4. Identifies alternative funding mechanisms for new and redevelopment.

1.4 THE PROJECT AREA

1.4.1 Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan Area
The Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan area consists of approximately 250 acres of older, mostly strip commercial development and, for many years, served as the commercial and residential center of the Valley. With the phenomenal growth experienced in the region in the 1980s, residential development took place in other areas of the City and commercial centers developed in those areas to service them. Examples of commercial growth include the Moreno Valley Mall at TownGate, strip centers and shopping centers found along A lessandro Boulevard, Heacock Street, Perris Boulevard, at TownGate and north of the freeway along Ironwood Avenue.

As a result, portions of the Sunnymead Boulevard corridor have experienced limited reinvestment over time and today are characterized by aging commercial development, fragmented parcel patterns, and underutilized sites.

These conditions present a significant opportunity for targeted reinvestment, particularly through the introduction of new housing, mixed-use development, and improved urban design.

Although the majority of development adjacent to the Boulevard predates the City's incorporation, ultimate right -of- way, sidewalks and streetlights are existing for all reaches on the south side of the Boulevard. Most of the north side needs to be widened to bring it into compliance with the current standard for Sunnymead Boulevard: a 100 foot right- of-way with a 76 foot curb separation and median. This standard has been achieved in some areas of the Boulevard 839
The Village Concept Page I 17
by newer development and various local, State and Federal programs. Small areas are left to improve. However, many of the streets and much of the infrastructure directly north o f the Boulevard to State Highway 60 remain substandard.

1.4.2 Village Overlay District
The Village Overlay District, located south of the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan to Dracaea Avenue between Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard, consists of approx imately 500 acres of primarily older housing stock with minimum street improvements and antiquated infrastructure. The district is unique as it contains many elongated parcels, flag lots, and a mixed density from single family residences to duplexes, tripl exes and on up. The mixed density frequently occurs on the same parcel and is intermixed with almost a homogenous checkerboard of vacant land throughout the area.

With the adoption of the General Plan, a large area in the Overlay District was zoned Office in anticipation of bringing new development to the area. This new development would bring consolidation of parcels and infrastructure improvements. Office development, as anticipated, has not taken place, and the residential nature of the V illage Overlay District has remained intact.

Through special programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Measure A (special gasoline tax), and federal surface transportation program, funding has been available for some sidewalks, streetlights, curb and gutter, and water line replacements, and for flood control measures. As funding becomes available, additional improvements will be installed.

1.4.3 Existing Setting
California State Planning and Zoning Law (Article 8, Section 65451) requires that a large project, such as this, identify the proposed distribution, location, extent and intensity of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities to be located within the plan area, and those needed to support the land uses described in the plan. The premise of this requirement is directed primarily toward the impac t that new development will have on existing and future facility planning. The Village Plan involves an existing urban setting with opportunities for demolition of substandard structures and/or uses, rehabilitation and/or expansion of 840
The Village Concept Page I 18
existing structures a nd uses, and new development as in fill. The General Plan and General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) considered build -out of this area with uses as proposed through the Sunnymead Boulevard Specific Plan and the Village at Sunnymead Overlay District.

1.4.3.1 Land Use Pattern
The existing Village land use pattern identifies a checkerboard of developed land and vacant land , with the majority of parcels as developed but underutilized, often characterized by low building intensity relative to parcel size. Uses are mixed with residential in the commercial and office areas and densities are mixed in the residential area. The existing land use pattern clearly identifies that the mixed density concept in the Overlay residential zone encouraged de velopment, primarily of multi -family complexes, since the concept was approved. Just as clearly, the pattern shows that no office development took place in the Office zone with the exception of a small area adjacent to Heacock Street.

1.4.3.2 Circulation
A north-south/east-west grid system was established for the parcels and streets in the Village years before the City incorporated in 1984. In the Village, parcels are commonly 66 feet wide (street frontage) with a depth of 300 feet.
a. North-South Streets - North-south streets are on a half -mile spacing starting with Frederick Street on the west, then Graham Street, Heacock Street, Indian Avenue and Perris Boulevard on the east. Only a few additional north-south streets occur in the Village. They are short and do not offer opportunities for through traffic. They are:

1. Ruby Court and Mead Court - two cul -de-sacs, each a half block long on the north side of Myers Avenue.

2. Val View Street is comprised of two legs, each half a block long, either side of Webster Avenue.

The southern portion is a cul-de-sac.

3. Ross and Lee Streets - each a block long between Fir Avenue and Myers Avenue just east of Indian Avenue.

4. Back Way (in the Village Center) - extends north from the Boulevard to Postal Avenue. 841
The Village Concept Page I 19

5. Loraine Terrace (on the west -end of the Village) - a short cul-de-sac which extends north from the Boulevard.

6. On the west-end - two private streets, Strip Drive and Beacon Drive, connect properties north of the Boulevard
b. East-West Streets - East-west streets are spaced at approximately 660 feet and include Sunnymead Boulevard on the north, Webster, Fir, Myers, Eucalyptus, Atwood and Dracaea Avenues. Dracaea Avenue is the southern most boundary of the Village. There are a few additional east -west streets.

They are short and do not offer opportunities for through traffic.

1. Starcrest Drive - a short street which ends in a cul-de-sac east of Val View Street.

2. Postal Avenue - extends east-west to connect Back Way with Heacock Street to the west on the north side of the Boulevard.

3. Olive Wood Plaza Drive (west side of the Village) - extends north from the Boulevard and then east to connect with Graham Street.

4. On the west end - two private streets, Flight Street and Tower Street, connect properties north of the Boulevard between Strip Drive and Beacon Drive.

1.4.3.3 Current Resources and Infrastructure
The resources and infrastructure for the Village are discussed in the General Plan and General Plan EIR.

The following list identifies the Village resource, responsible agency, and status of infrastructure as of 2026:
a. Water – Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) supplies water and has prepared an Urban Water Management Plan to demonstrate sufficient supply to meet projected demand in their service areas through the year 2040 under normal, dry, and multiple dry year scenarios. b. Sewers – Sewage collection, treatment, and disposal services within the Village are under the jurisdiction of EMWD. Treatment takes place in the southeast corner of Moreno Valley at Eastern Moreno Valley Reclamation Plant. EMWD has prepared a Wastewater Collection System Master Plan that identifies collection and conveyance improvements. It is not anticipated that redevelopment within 842
The Village Concept Page I 20
the ECSD service area will require any substantial upgrades. Sewer mains of 12 to 21 inches in size currently serve the area. Some older structures in the Village, primarily within the residential areas, may still rely on septic tanks. As development occurs, whether new, expansion or rehabilitation, connection to the sewer will be required where applicable. The existing sewer system in the Village area is adequate for the increase in residential land use designations with the new zones. c. Electricity – Southern California Edison (SCE) and the Moreno Valley Electric Utility (MVU) provide electricity. Electricity is delivered from two nearby substations. A local network of overhead and underground service lines emanates from the two substations and distributes 33KV to customers. d. Natural Gas – SoCalGas, the nation’s largest natural gas distribution utility, provides Moreno Valley with natural gas service s. Southern California Edison (SCE) and the Moreno Valley Electric Utility (MVU) provide electricity to the city.
e. Telecommunications and Internet Services – Frontier, Spectrum and AT&T provide telecommunications/internet to the Village. Additionally, in October 2020, the City launched the CLiC Initiative (Computer Learning & Internet Connectivity) intended to bring more residents into the digital age, including 150 Wi-Fi hotspots that can be borrowed from the City’s three library branches; creation of Wi-Fi Garden locations (free Wi-Fi access at various City facilities); public-use computers at libraries and the Senior Center; and a free, comprehensive virtual community portal with information to help build users’ computer knowledge and skills. The CLiC portal, located on the City’s website and available in both English and Spanish, provides information for free and low-cost ways of getting a computer and accessing the internet and also free resources to help users take advantage of their internet access to enhance learning, seek employment, manage their finances, do business, and have fun online. f. Solid Waste – Waste Management provides trash, recycling, composting, and special waste handling services to local residents and businesses. The majority of solid waste generat ed within the city is disposed of at El Sobrante Landfill, which has sufficient capacity to accommodate the community. g. Flood Control – The Village is located in the Sunnymead Area Drainage Plan as defined by and under the jurisdiction of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. h. Transportation/Traffic
843
The Village Concept Page I 21
A Village Plan Traffic Study was completed in October 1998. The study was required to assess impacts from the following elements identified as necessary for the commercial and residential revitalization strategies to be implemented in the Village:

1. The proposed zone changes in the Village Plan, and

2. The proposed street modifications, and alternatives, to Sunnymead Boulevard within the Village Center.

The study stated that the anticipated increased traffic generation from build out of the proposed zones in comparison with build out of the existing General Plan land uses would be an increase in traffic volumes of approximately 14%. This added congestion would be the result of t he effects of an overall increase of 836 residential units and 227,900 square feet of retail commercial development and a decrease of 814,100 square feet of professional office space with the new Village zoning. These figures would be at maximum build -out of the Village which is unlikely due to the existing pattern of development and parcelization of the lots within the Village.

The Village Specific Plan has been designed specifically for commercial and residential revitalization of the Village as a whole. However, the alternative land uses and new zones that affect the entire Village are only part of the strategy for revitalization. Another very important part of the revitalization strategy is to concentrate commercial activity on both sides of the Boulevard. Field analysis of this area shows a mix of small commercial and residential uses. There are vacant areas, and there is the potential for new development, as well as enhancement of the existing uses. It was identified that the area between Heacock Street and Indian Street showed the most potential for revitalization, hence the development of a Village Center there with special zoning and development standards.

With the above in mind, the Village Plan Traffic Study was directed to explore street modifi cations including such elements as on-street parking, installation of raised medians, and mid -block signalized pedestrian crosswalks to effect desired traffic calming between Heacock Street and Indian Street.

These elements were to slow traffic speeds on the Boulevard by discouraging cross town traffic and to encourage more pedestrian activity. The study identified that the traffic calming elements proposed in the alternatives would strategically reduce the role of Sunnymead Boulevard as a regional roadway or 844
The Village Concept Page I 22
as a bypass to State Highway 60 during congested peak hours. Instead, the roadway would facilitate local access and circulation, and support the local land uses.

The study assessed potential traffic related impacts of the proposed project on surroundin g roads particularly at peak hours at key intersections. The study identified measures to mitigate identified impacts. Of issue is the current status of Sunnymead Boulevard which plays a dual role in the City ’s circulation system. It acts as an alternativ e to Highway 60 during peak congestion hours and is classified as an arterial in the City’s circulation plan. Currently it has the capacity to accommodate both local and regional traffic, however, downsizing the roadway in the Village Center to a local street will cause a decrease in levels of service better matching traffic volumes to capacity to achieve slower speeds - traffic calming - desired for increased visibility and access to the commercial uses in the Village Center.

The major traffic calming devices that are proposed in the Village Center are: primary consideration of single lane of traffic in each direction; raised, landscaped medians; on-street parking; a signalized mid- block pedestrian crosswalk between Heacock Street and Back Way; and a lane standard. The proposed modifications would not create impacts beyond those already anticipat ed by build-out of the City wide General. Specific street cross-section designs will be determined subsequent to approval of the Village Specific Plan. Additional information on these issues is found in Chapter 2, Part II – The Village Plan. i. Parking – As development occurs, parking in both residential and commercial areas will be provided as required by the Village Plan Development Standards and the Municipal Code (see Parking in Section

2.3.3, Village Development Policies).

2.1 VILLAGE PROJECT APPROVAL PROCESS
The Village Specific Plan is intended as a land use plan with development standards and design guidelines specifically tailored for commercial and residential revitalization of the Village. The Village Specific Plan, upon being adopted by the City Council, shall be binding upon any person or persons, company, agency, or entity which intends to alter a land use or construct, reconstruct, or modify any permanent or temporary improvement within the Village.

For all issues such as, but not limited to, project approval process and development policies and standards not covered specifically in the Village Plan, the project shall defer to the City's Municipal Code in place at the time the application is deemed complete by the City.

2.2 VILLAGE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
The following land use designations have been identified for the Village (see Exhibit B)for a complete map of the Village land use designations).

2.2.1 Community Commercial

2.2.1.1 Location
Community Commercial (CC) land use designations occur at each end of the Boulevard commercial district (see Exhibit C). They are located on both sides of the Boulevard between Frederick and Heacock Streets and between Indian Avenue and Perris Boulevard. In addition, CC is located south of the Boulevard on the west side of Perris Boulevard and the east side of Heacock Street.
/
847
The Village Plan Page II 2

2.2.1.2 Intent
The size and scope of the CC areas of the Village require vehicular movement of the users. It allows for a “grander scale" in size and height of projects. It contains most of the new development projects on the Boulevard and serves as both the eastern and western entrances to the Village. Those areas on Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard just south of Sunnymead Boulevard provide additional commercial opportunities.

2.2.1.3 Primary Focus
The primary focus of the CC land use designation is to provide for the general shopping and service needs of freeway travelers, area residents, and workers by providing a wide variety of travel related and local business services which include motels, gas stations, fast food and sit-down restaurants, general retail and personal uses.

CC is the basic commercial zoning for the City of Moreno Valley and the Village.

2.2.1.4 Governing Document for Development
The CC areas within the Village are subject to the development standards and permitted uses table of the City's Municipal Code.

2.2.2 Village Commercial/Residential

2.2.2.1 Location
The Village Commercial/Residential (VCR) land use designation IS located on either side of the Boulevard between Heacock Street and lndia Street and north to State Highway 60 (see Exhibit D). Parcels designated as VCR are also located at the intersection of Indian Street and Eucalyptus Avenue.

2.2.2.2 Intent
The intent of this designation is to encourage the development of a pedestrian oriented shopping area with smaller, service related and specialty types of businesses with an allowance for residential as a secondary land use to the primary commercial use. The addition of the residential component is to increase the level of activity in the central commercial area and provide better linkages and compatibility with the adjacent residential neighborhoods in the Village. The small VCR area at the intersection of Indian Street and Eucalyptus Avenue is to provide opportunities for neighborhood commercial activities in the middle of the residential area of the Village.

2.2.2.3 Primary Focus
The primary focus of the VCR land use designation is to provide opportunities for small scale commercial uses to enhance and service an older, mixed density residential neighborhood. The concept of a mixed use zone with both commercial and residential uses recognizes the existing mixed uses in the area and provides for enhancement of each component–residential or commercial–and the opportunity to develop new mixed uses in various combinations.

Residential uses are permitted with commercial uses on a separate parcel or in a separ ate structure, as part of the same structure (shop in the front, residence in the back, for example); and/or as a mixed use large scale development.

It allows for the addition of, or expansion in, the number of residential units on a parcel with existing r esidences heretofore prohibited because of the commercial-only zoning designation. The underlying focus of parcels designated as VCR , however, is enhancement of commercial opportunities with residential as a secondary use. Therefore, 850
The Village Plan Page II 5
commercial uses should occur on the first floor facing the Boulevard whenever possible. Residential uses should occur above the first floor and/or be located away from the Boulevard.

2.2.2.4 Governing Documents for Development
The land use requirements for VCR are found in Section 2.3, Village Land Use Requirements. Development on parcels designated as VCR shall comply with the development standards and permitted uses established by this Specific Plan. The corresponding COMU–SP-204 VCR zoning district applies. Where this Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code shall apply.

The permitted uses for this zone are the same as the Neighborhood Commercial uses found in the Municipal Code except as specified below:

Additional Permitted Uses:
▪ Residential (not permitted on first floor along the Sunnymead Boulevard frontage) ▪ Bed and Breakfast
▪ Parking Lot
▪ Hotels (with or without kitchens in guest rooms)
Uses Not Permitted:
▪ Auto Service Station/Gas Station
▪ Auto, Boat, Motorcycle and RV Repair
▪ Auto Supply Stores
▪ Bail Bond Service
▪ Car Wash
▪ Drive Through Facilities of Any Kind
▪ Kennels and Catteries
851
The Village Plan Page II 6

2.2.3 Village Office/Residential

2.2.3.1 Location
The VOR land use designation is located south of the VCR designation along Sunnymead Boulevard and the east side of Heacock south of the CC designation (see Exhibit E).

2.2.3.2 Intent
The intent of the VOR land use is to create a transition or buffer zone between the high activity commercial district to the north and the residential district to the south. While the office development remains the primary intent, it is anticipated that the addition of the residential component as a secondary use will increase the level of activity in this area and provide better linkage and compatibility with the adjacent residential neighborhoods in the Village.

2.2.3.3 Primary Focus
The primary focus of the VOR land use designation is to provide opportunities for small scale office uses as well as for larger office complexes. The concept of a mixed area with both office and residential uses provides for enhancement of each component–residential or office–and the opportunity to develop each use or mix uses in various combinations. Residential uses are permitted with office uses on a separate parcel or in a separate structure, as part of the same structure (office in the front, residence in the back, for example), and/or as a mixed use large scale development. It allows for expansion in the number of residential units on a parcel with existing residences, heretofore, prohibited because of the office-only zoning designation.

I \

2.2.3.4 Governing Document for Development
The land use requirements for VOR are found in Section 2.3, Village Land Use Requirements . Development on parcels designated as VOR shall comply with the development standards and permitted uses established by this Specific Plan. The corresponding COMU–SP-204 VOR zoning district applies. Where this Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code shall apply
854

2.2.4 Village Residential

2.2.4.1 Location
The VR land use designation occupies the balance of the Village Plan area with the exception identified in Section F below (see Exhibit F).

2.2.4.2 Intent
The intent of the VR land use designation is to allow for a mix of densities that addresses the wide ranges of parcel sizes and lot configurations in this area of the Village. It encourages higher densities than typical in suburban areas in order to support the Village commercial areas. It recognizes the wide range of housing types that have evolved over time in the area, including the existing mix of housing types found, even on the same parcel. Throughout the Village there are examples of successful "mini neighborhoods" composed of combinations of single family detached units, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes all with common courtyards. In addition, there are single family detached residences surrounded by duplexes and multi-family complexes within single family neighborhoods.

2.2.4.3 Primary Focus
The VR land use designation provides for a range of densities from small, single family lots with detached homes to attached multi-family complexes. Additional uses are provided for in residential zones such as day care centers, churches and recreational facilities.

2.2.4.4 Governing Document for Development
The land use requirements for the VR designation are found in Section 2.3, Village Land Use Requirements.

Development on parcels designated as VR shall comply with the development standards and permitted uses established by this Specific Plan. The corresponding R-20 SP-204 VR zoning district applies. Where this Specific Plan is silent, the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code shall apply.

The additional permitted uses for this zone are the full range of uses found in other residential zones in the City's Municipal Code.

2.2.5 Public

2.2.5.1 Location
There is one Public (P) land use designation proposed within the Village Plan, heretofore identified as an Open Space zone. It is located at the northwest corner of Perris Boulevard and Fir Avenue.

2.2.5.2 Intent
The primary purpose of this designation is to provide for the conduct of public and institutional activities and to protect designated areas for public and
institutional facilities.

2.2.5.3 Primary Focus
Sunnymead Park, the oldest park in the City of Moreno
Valley, completely occupies the proposed P zone.

Renovation of the park was completed in 1998 and now
includes a neighborhood park adjacent to the Webster
Street neighborhood in the northwest corner of the site.

2.2.5.4 Governing Document for Development
The P area within the Village is subject to the permitted uses table and development standards of the City's Municipal Code.

2.3 VILLAGE LAND USE REQUIREMENTS
The Village land use requirements have been established: in response to the unique mixed use and mixed density zones; to provide flexibility for those uses and densities; to ensure and maintain quality of life; to create a "Village" identity; and to 859
The Village Plan Page II 14
provide adequate light, air, privacy, open space, protection from objectionable noise and odors for each dwelling unit and mixed use. The land use requirements are grouped into: General, Density, Site/Structure (Policies and Standards), and Design Elements (Boulevard Calming Devices, Streetscape, Signage, Banner Program and Lane Concept).

Qualifying residential and mixed-use projects may elect to comply with the City of Moreno Valley’s adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS). For such projects, compliance with the ODS shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy the design requirements of this Specific Plan, and any conflicting design-related policies of this Specific Plan shall not apply. Projects that do not utilize the ODS shall be reviewed for consistency with the design policies of this Specific Plan.

2.3.1 General
All projects in the Village shall be subject to and shall be developed in compliance with all current model codes as adopted by the City to include the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electrical Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Americans with Disabilities Act, Title 24, and all other applicable State and Federal codes.

2.3.2 Site/Structure
Discretionary projects in the Village are subject to Municipal Code Section 9.02 regarding permits and approval.

The decision making body identified by the code for the project shall have the authority to reasonably condition any such project to ensure proper transition and compatibility with adjacent developments, existing or proposed, in the Village. Projects located within the VCR, VOR, and VR zones shall be subject to the following Village Development policies and standards (Table 1). If the Village Plan is silent on an issue, the issue is subject to the provisions of the City's Municipal Code.

2.3.3 Village Development Policies

1. Whenever possible, consideration shall be made to increase circulation and drainage capabilities within the Village by the addition of linkages, that is, by the addition of east-west and north-south streets, lanes (Section 2.3.6, The Lane Concept) and drive aisles between projects and areas. 860
The Village Plan Page II 15

2. Streetlights, sidewalks, curb and gutter shall be required per City standards. Barring special circumstances, the right-of-way is encouraged to end at the back edge of the sidewalk a. Village Residential – In the residential portion of the Village, a minimum sidewalk width of 4 feet is permitted if unobstructed (no signs, streetlights, fire hydrants, and the like). The standard width is 6 feet, or as required to meet local, state and federal standards, and provide minimum 4 feet unobstructed. b. Village Center – In the Village Center, the sidewalk shall extend from the back of curb to the right-of-way line. A wider sidewalk may be permitted to the building face in lieu of landscaping to provide for pedestrian activities and view sheds into commercial projects. Street furniture, plazas, planters, enhanced paving and the like are amenities to be located in this area.

3. All signs within the Village shall be subject to the City's Municipal Code Sign Regulations (Section 9.12) and Chapter D.3 of the Village Plan with the following exception: freeway pole signs shall be prohibited within 350 feet of the centerline of Sunnymead Boulevard between Heacock Street on the west and Indian Avenue on the east.

4. The following parking strategies, although potentially available in other areas, are strongly encouraged in the Village Center to provide additional parking opportunities. They shall be subject to City review and approval:
a. Consolidation of driveways/entries may be required to provide the following: a more directed and less confusing access to and from projects and to provide more on-site parking. b. Shared Parking – Shared parking is encouraged where applicable. A parking study shall be prepared in accordance with the standards provided in the City's Municipal Code. c. Off-Site Parking – Off-site parking may provide required parking; however, it must occur within 300 feet of a reasonable access point or entrance to a use or structure. d. Community Parking Lots – One or more community parking lots may be located within the Village Center.

Such lots are located off-site and must be within 300 feet of a reasonable access point or entrance to a use or structure if used to provide required parking. Identification of and funding for community parking lots will be determined through the Village Implementation Schedule. 861
The Village Plan Page II 16
e. On-street parking on Sunnymead Boulevard in the Village Center will be permitted where space permits.

5. Commercial and Mixed Use Zones – In the commercial and mixed use zones, architecture and design of new development, redevelopment, rehabilitation and expansion shall rely on color to preserve, a sense of place. Light, natural earth tones are identified. While the architecture and design are not restricted to one style, they are required to be compatible with adjoining development and shall address items listed below. a. Projects shall avoid monotonous facades by incorporating variety, articulation, vertical elements, color and material changes.
b. Architectural treatments shall be carried around all sides of a structure. c. Roofs
i. Flat roofs without parapets are discouraged.
ii. Terra cotta colored tile is encouraged for roofs in the Village, however, natural earth tones such as gray or brown may be used.
d. Color Palette
i. Walls shall retain natural light earth colors such as ivory, cream, sand, beige and gray. ii. Trim tones cand colors shall complement the dominant building color. iii. Accent colors are encouraged in limit areas.
e. Architectural use of neon lighting is subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission.

6. Village Center – Within the Village Center the following elements shall be considered to achieve a "Village" like atmosphere. At least two elements from the architectural list and one from the accent list shall be included in the design of each project:
862
The Village Plan Page II 17
a. Architectural Elements
i. Balconies and/or decks
ii. Towers
iii. Recessed window openings
iv. Lattice overheads/covered walkways
v. Plazas and/or fountains
b. Accent Elements
i. Panel treatments
ii. Awnings
iii. Decorative windows
iv. Window boxes
v. Benches, seating walls and other street furniture
vi. Raised planters, flower pots, hanging pots
vii. Pedestrian scale lighting in plazas, walkways, etc., viii. Pavement treatments (such as entries, pedestrian walkways, plazas). 863
The Village Plan Page II 18

7. Village Center – Site landscape requirements within the Village Center will remain consistent with the Municipal Code. However, rather than requiring large landscape setbacks which could account for the bulk of the landscape, landscaping is intended as a means of creating pleasant people spaces, gardens, courtyards, seating areas, roof gardens, and walkways.
864
The Village Plan Page II 19

8. Mixed Use – Security and safety should be addressed in mixed use development through the following:
a. Public, semi-private and private spaces should be clearly defined. Public and semi-private space should be configured to maximize visibility.
865
The Village Plan Page II 20
b. Separate main or primary access points, circulation and parking should be provided for commercial and residential uses. These access points should be visible from the street. c. On corner sites, a side street residential entry or entries should be provided. At mid-block, residential entries should be separate and distinct from retail or office entries or lobbies.

9. Mixed Use – Any mixed use on or near the Boulevard may be subject to noise impacts from vehicular and pedestrian traffic as well as from adjacent or nearby commercial activity. Design of the residential component shall address excessive noise as follows:
a. Bedrooms should be oriented away from noise sources. b. Sound-deadening construction materials and techniques should be used where appropriate.

10. Mixed Use – Common space, sometimes referred to as "active" or "social" open space, should be designed primarily for the use of the residents components by attention to the following:
a. In courtyard projects, common open space should serve as a combination of functions—for circulation, as a buffer between units, and as a source of daylight and air to courtyard-facing rooms. b. Common open space for residents should be provided wherever possible with access to residents only. c. Common rooftop decks above the second floor are encouraged.

11. Mixed Use – If any residential units are proposed or existing within the VCR, VOR or VR zones, any new construction and/or expansion of an existing structure or a use shall comply with the requirements for common and private open space as identified in the Village Development Standards to ensure that the expansion retains the potential for those elements, whether existing or not. In multi-family projects, the common open space shall include plant material (trees, shrubs, ground cover) and should include people places such as a "tot lot" or tables or benches to provide residents with quality "green" space in a setting with potentially limited "outdoor" space. 866
The Village Plan Page II 21

12. Mixed Use – Landscaping should address the need for green space for the residential component by providing:
a. Special landscaped areas such as roof decks or gardens and screening at the property line at the first and second floor levels to provide privacy from or for neighboring sites. b. Landscaping adjacent to rear drive aisles or walk ways to buffer adjacent uses. 867
The Village Plan Page II 22

13. Mixed Use – The project design should consider privacy for the resident component with respect to other residential units, passersby, and adjacent development:
a. Windows, balconies and decks should be oriented to
reduce direct view or overlook of adjacent residential
uses, and they should be designed to maximize
sunlight into units.
b. In mixed use areas minimum setbacks (see Table 1)
shall be maintained for the first story of a residential use (except-a stairway) from the front property line.

14. Mixed Use – Off-street parking and loading areas should be designed to have as little impact on the residential component as possible. Such areas should be located away from the residences and/or be screened effectively from any adjacent residential uses. Depending on the specific site, this may include covered parking to minimize noise and visual impacts to dwelling units above, and screen walls, gates and landscaping along travel ways to reduce impacts on adjacent dwelling units.

15. Lot Consolidation Incentives: The purpose of the incentives listed below is to encourage the consolidation of adjacent Village Residential parcels to enable coordinated site planning, increase development feasibility on small and mid-sized sites, and facilitate missing middle and small-scale multifamily housing. a. Eligibility Criteria. Projects may qualify for lot consolidation incentives when all of the following criteria are met:
i. Parcel Consolidation: A minimum of two contiguous legal parcels are consolidated, resulting in a combined site area of at least 20,000 square feet.
868
The Village Plan Page II 23
ii. Land Use Consistency: The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and applicable Village Residential (VR) zoning standards. iii. Unified Development: The consolidated parcels are developed as a single project under common ownership or control.
iv. Displacement Protections: The project does not result in the displacement of protected residential units unless replacement units are provided in compliance with California Government Code Section 7060 et seq.
b. Menu of Incentives. Eligible lot consolidation projects may request one or more of the following incentives, subject to review and approval by the Community Development Director or Planning Commission, depending on the entitlement path. Projects that meet the eligibility criteria may utilize one or more of the following incentives, subject to compliance with applicable development standards:
i. Density Incentive: Up to a 5 percent increase over the base allowable density, with a minimum of one additional unit permitted for sites of at least 20,000 square feet.

1. Density shall be calculated based on the underlying zoning at the time of application.

2. This incentive shall be applied prior to any additional incentives granted under State Density Bonus Law and shall not be combined with other density increases except as permitted by state law.
ii. Setback Flexibility: Required side and rear yard setbacks may be reduced by up to 25 percent, provided all applicable building, fire, and life safety standards are met. iii. Lot Coverage Adjustment: Maximum lot coverage may be increased by up to 10 percent for consolidated sites.
iv. Parking Reduction: Required parking may be reduced by up to 10 percent. 869

Some of the items to be included in a Banner Program would be design, funding, replacement, and sponsorships. 875
The Village Plan Page II 30

2.3.6 The Lane Concept
The lane concept is intended to facilitate efficient access, circulation, and infrastructure coordination in areas characterized by narrow, elongated, or irregular parcels. Lanes are particularly encouraged where development is proposed on consolidated or assembled parcels, as a means of reducing redundant access points, improving internal circulation, and supporting
higher-intensity infill and redevelopment consistent with the Village Plan.

The lane concept is a "mini-street" for the Village and has been designed for areas where a linkage is desired, but less than 60 feet (40 foot paved section curb to curb) is available. On-street parking may be limited or facilitated with new designs such as parking bays or alternating rights-of-way, or may not be permitted depending on the amount of right-of-way available and the need to ensure adequate space for emergency vehicle access. Creative parking areas, hammerhead turnarounds, and T-shaped plotting of parcels may be used in conjunction with lanes to create links and still provide some on street parking and emergency
vehicle access.

The use of lanes may be prioritized or required by the City where two or more legal parcels are consolidated or developed as a unified project. Consolidated parcels utilizing lane access may be eligible for greater flexibility in site layout, access configuration, and parking design, subject to review and approval by the Public Works Director and/or City Engineer.
876
The Village Plan Page II 31
Lanes are subject to the approval of the Public Works Director and/or City Engineer and shall comply with the following standards:

1. Maintain a minimum offset of 100 feet with adjacent intersections.

2. Maintain the following minimum paved widths:
a. 24 feet for two-way traffic, no on-street parking
b. 32 feet for two-way traffic, on-street parallel parking on one side. 877

The Village Implementation Schedule Page III 1

3. PART III – THE VILLAGE IMPLEMENTATION

SCHEDULE
- The City of Moreno Valley, California -

3.1 VILLAGE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
Most of the Village area is part of the City’s redevelopment project area. The major portion of the residential area is located within the Community Development Block Grant target area (CDBG). With both designations, property owners in the Village can benefit from a number of Federal, State and local assistance programs to fund infrastructure improvements like street improvements and street lights. Funding is also available for facade upgrades and landscaping.

In addition, there are funding opportunities for affordable residential development.

Programs and grants to address new development and redevelopment vary with time. To effectively utilize the myriad of funding mechanisms available, the Village revitalization strategy includes an Implementation Schedule. The Village Implementation Schedule will be, by necessity, a living document - always changing in response to current conditions, priorities and available funding. Since this will need frequent updating and revision in order to meet the goals and objectives of the Village Plan, it is important to develop it as a separate document and provide for its yearly review to reflect the current needs of the Village. The Schedule shall be reviewed each year and be revised as needed. Village projects will compete with other projects throughout the City for funding.

Following is a list of programs that have been used to implement improvements in the Village. It is an example of the type of elements that would be included in the Implementation Schedule.

3.1.1 Programs and Funded Improvements

1. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
CDBG funds are provided by the Federal Government for use in projects and programs which benefit low and moderate income persons and neighborhoods. The residential portions of the area bounded by Perris 879

The Village Implementation Schedule Page III 2
Boulevard on the east, Dracaea Avenue on the south, H eacock Street on the west, and the Moreno Valley Freeway on the north are identified as low and moderate income neighborhoods and qualify for the use of CDBG funds. Several other areas in the City qualify as well . Projects in the proposed Village area that have been funded through the CDBG program include the following: the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk on Ross and Lee Streets; the expansion and reconstruction of Sunnymead Park; the Neighborhood Policing Program; and the installation of full str eet improvements on Webster Avenue between Indian and Val View Streets. CDBG also funds an enhanced code enforcement program for the Village area. Most of the projects have been completed to date or are currently funded. CDBG funds are allocated on an ann ual basis by the City Council.

2. Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program provides funding to local governments in California for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities. The program provides formula grants to entitlement and non-entitlement jurisdictions and competitive grants to non-entitlement jurisdictions. In 2023, the City received $679,000 to accelerate affordable housing by funding multifamily rental development and preservation, operating support, and down payment assistance for lower‑income households.

3. Measure A Transportation Program
Measure A funds are provided through a special one half-cent sales tax approved by the voters of Riverside County for transportation improvements. Most public streets in the City of Moreno Valley qualify for the use of Measure A funds. The funds are generally allocated based on the City's priorities, but must also be approved by the Riverside County Transportation Commission.

Funded projects include the following: the installation of street improvements on Indian Street between Sunnymead Boulevard and Fir Avenue (completed); storm drain improvements and pavement reconstruction on Perris Boulevard from Webster Avenue to Dracaea Avenue; and installation of full street improvements on Fir Avenue between Perris Boulevard and Heacock Street (completed). 880

The Village Implementation Schedule Page III 3
Measure A projects are identified on an annual basis by the City Council, and then they are submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission for final approval.

4. Federal Surface Transportation Authorization Programs Federal transportation funding for improvements to major and secondary arterial streets is provided through the federal surface transportation authorization program, which is reauthorized periodically by Congress.

These funds support improvements to key roadway corridors that enhance safety, mobility, and regional connectivity among other objectives.

Funded and completed projects in the Village include the following: the installation of street improvements on Eucalyptus Avenue between Perris Boulevard and Heacock Street and the reconstruction and widening of Heacock Street between Sunnymead Boulevard and Dracaea Avenue.

Projects are identified annually by the City Council. Project funding is awarded on a competitive basis based on an application. The Riverside County Transportation Commission reviews all Riverside County applications and makes recommendations to the State Transportation Commission. The State Commission makes the final decision on those projects to be funded within the State.

5. Redevelopment General Funds
Redevelopment general funds were historically provided through redevelopment tax increment financing for use within the redevelopment project area. Redevelopment funding is no longer available, as redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved pursuant to State law. The improvements described below reflect previously funded and completed projects within the Village Plan Area and are included for historical reference only. Redevelopment general funds were provided from redevelopment tax increment monies and were previously available for use within the redevelopment project area. The redevelopment tax increment originally came from a reallocation of increases in local property taxes paid on parcels located within the boundaries of the redevelopment project area. The reallocation reflected the need to reinvest in the older neighborhoods to improve their ability to compete effectively with other portions of the community. With the exception of Moreno Valley Plaza, located on the southwest corner of Sunnymead Boulevard and Heacock 881

The Village Implementation Schedule Page III 4
Street, the entire Village Plan area is located within the redevelopment project area. In addition, street improvements on Indian Street between Fir and Dracaea Avenues were funded.

Previously completed projects include: street lights on Sunnymead Boulevard; sidewalks along portions of Sunnymead Boulevard; widening of Perris Boulevard from Sunnymead Boulevard to Dracaea Avenue; upgrades to the overpasses and off ramps at Perris Boulevard and Heacock Street with the Moreno Valley Freeway (State Highway 60); upgraded waterlines on Webster Avenue (east of Indian Street), Eucalyptus Avenue, Indian Street, and Atwood Avenue; storm drain improvements on Webster Avenue, Fir Avenue, Eucalyptus Avenue and Perris Boulevard; and street improvements on Indian Street between Fir Avenue and Sunnymead Boulevard.

Funded projects include the following: the construction of upgraded waterlines on Myers between Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard; the installation of streetlights on Indian Street north of Sunnymead Boulevard and on Postal Avenue; the expansion and reconstruction of Sunnymead Park; and installation of a storm drain along Perris Boulevard from Webster Avenue to Dracaea Avenue. Completed projects include the following: the construction of upgraded waterlines on Indian Street from Sunnymead Boulevard to Dracaea Avenue, upgraded waterlines on Atwood Avenue between Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard; Webster Avenue east of Indian Street, and Eucalyptus Avenue between Heacock Street and Indian Street; sidewalks and decorative streetlights along Sunnymead Boulevard; and street improvements along Atwood Avenue and Dracaea Avenue between Heacock Street and Indian Street for approximately 300 feet and along Sunnymead Boulevard near Back Way for approximately 400 feet. Five commercial properties have also received facade and property improvement loans from the former Redevelopment Agency’s Commercial Rehabilitation Program.

6. Redevelopment Housing Funds
Redevelopment Housing Funds were historically generated through a required set‑aside of redevelopment tax increment to support affordable housing activities. This funding source is no longer available, following the dissolution of redevelopment agencies.
882

The Village Implementation Schedule Page III 5
The housing programs and activities described below reflect prior investments and initiatives within the Village Plan Area and are included for background and historical context.

Funded programs that were previously available in the Village include the following: rehabilitation loan programs for single family ownership and rental properties; a first time buyer home ownership program; and a single family home ownership program through Habitat for Humanity, a national nonprofit organization.

The Agency has assisted in the development of three Habitat for Humanity homes in the Village located on Scotty Lane. Two additional homes are planned on Eucalyptus Avenue. In addition, the Agency owns properties on Eucalyptus Avenue, Atwood Avenue, Myers Avenue and Fir Avenue purchased with housing funds for use in future affordable housing developments.

7. Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) Grant Program of 2021 REAP grant funds are provided by the State of California through the Department of Housing and Community Development to support broader planning and implementation investments that support infill development to facilitate housing supply, choices and affordability. REAP grant funding has been used for the 2026 updates of the Village Specific Plan. These updates included redesignating VR–zoned parcels to allow up to 20 du/ac through application of the R‑20 zoning designation. In addition, the City updated development standards to promote a wider variety of housing types and development options on individual lots. REAP was a one‑time grant program; funding availability and program requirements are subject to change over time based on State priorities and legislative appropriations.

8. Private Investment
Most improvements in the City are provided by private investment, whether for new construction, new business development, rehabilitation or maintenance. One major intent of this implementation program is to use limited public funds and development strategies to leverage private investment funding.

3.1.2 Potential Programs – Assessment Districts
Although not in place at this time, the following listed programs are widely used in commercial rehabilitation and could greatly augment potential Village improvement funds. Formation of any type of special district to provide funding for 883

AGENDA DATE: April 21, 2026

TITLE: ANNUAL AB 2561 STAFFING VACANCIES REPORT
(REPORT OF: HUMAN RESOURCES) (DISTRICT: NOT

APPLICABLE)

TITLE SUMMARY: Annual AB 2561 Staffing Vacancies Report

DISTRICT: Not Applicable

Recommendation(s)

1. Conduct the Public Hearing on the City of Moreno Valley Workforce Recruitment, Retention, and Vacancy Trends presentation and receive and file the presentation.

SUMMARY

In September 2024, Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 (Gov. Code § 3502.3) was signed by the governor of California. AB 2561 requires a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, allowing recognized employee organizations to present at the hearing. This report outlines the City of Moreno Valley’s legal obligation under AB2561, which took effect January 01, 2025.

AB2561 was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing.

889

ID: 26-0233 Page 2
As of December 202 5, the City of Moreno Valley had Sixty-seven (67) staff vacancies , representing a 14.5% vacancy rate. The number of vacancies includes budgeted positions we are continuously recruiting on a continuous basis, for example, part -time crossing guards.

 In 2025, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) had a 9.3% vacancy rate.

 In 202 5, the Moreno Valley Management Association ( MVMA) had a 16.4% vacancy rate.

 In 2025, the Moreno Valley Confidential Management Employees (MVMCE) had a

20.7% vacancy rate.

The MVCME bargaining unit exceeded the 20% vacancy threshold during the reporting period, driven by six vacancies created between August and December 2025. Of these, three positions were filled with an average time ‑ to‑ fill of approximately 119 days, while three remain open, each aged 160 –208 days, significantly contributing to the elevated vacancy rate. Vacancies stemmed from a mix of internal promotions (50%), involuntary separations, and one voluntary separation, with all recruitments conducted via external and internal processes.

The high proportion of promotion ‑ driven backfills, combined wi th long-standing open positions in administrative and technical classifications, continues to place operational strain on the unit and is the primary cause of the unit's failure to meet the AB2561 20% vacancy threshold.

As of today, three of the six vacan cies have been filled, and we are actively recruiting for the remaining positions. Current efforts include accelerating backfills for promotion‑ driven vacancies, utilizing internal candidate pools, and maintaining ongoing recruitments for high‑ need classifications.

DISCUSSION

In compliance with AB 2561, the City of Moreno Valley is required to undertake the following actions:

1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information re garding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)).

If the City Council adopts an annual budget during the fiscal year, the presentation must occur before the adoption of the final budget. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(2)).

2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing 890

ID: 26-0233 Page 3
concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts.

There are three (3) represent ed bargaining units at the City. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b)).

3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies in a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full -time positions, the City must provide additional reporting at the request of the employee organization, including:

 Total number of vacancies
 Number of applicants
 Average time to fill positions
 Opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c)).

Policy Implications:

The administrative policy for the public hearing on City vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (“Policy”) establishes protocols for the City’s public hearings on vacancies to ensure a fair, orderly, and efficient hearing process.

The Policy sets forth specific requirements concerning matters such as the provision of notice to recognized employee organizations regarding the public hearing and their right to make a presentation at the hearing, the length and order of the City’s and the employee organizations’ presentations, and the standards of discourse during the public hearing.

Position Data:

Fiscal Year 2025/26, the City of Moreno Valley was budgeted for 462 full-time employees.

For Calendar Year 2026, the City of Moreno Valley had:
 181 full-time vacancies
 141 full-time vacancies filled

As of May 2026, the City is currently recruiting for 59 vacancies.

Recruitment Efforts:

In 2025, the City of Moreno Valley enhanced recruitment efforts, including:

 Adopting a recruitment framework for the City of Moreno Valley titled, Building, Nurturing, and Maintaining the Workforce of the Future.  Utilizing NEOGOV to manage and attract applicants.
 Prioritizing recruitments by training hiring managers on NEOGOV.  Leveraging LinkedIn to market and attract applicants to the City’s job postings.  Implementing a new onboarding process developed by the newly formed Human 891

ID: 26-0233 Page 4
Resources team, providing a structured introduction to the City's mission and operations.
 Creating a mentorship program to support employee development and career growth.
 Developing a benefits summary program to educate prospective employees on the City’s offerings.
 Increasing knowledge through lunch and learn sessions to engage employees in professional development.
 Expanding leadership training initiatives to build internal talent pipelines.

Retention Efforts:

The City also implemented strategies to improve retention, including:

 Establishing an onboarding program that introduces new employees to the City's mission and customer service standards, emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and customer service (CICS).
 Providing continuing education and training opportunities.  Expanding mentorship programs and increasing internships.  Enhancing employee wellness programs, including ment al health resources and fitness incentives.
 Offering tuition reimbursement programs to support employee career development.
 Increasing opportunities for internal promotions and career path planning.  Recognizing employee contributions through employee appre ciation events and award programs.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Open a public hearing to receive and respond to any comments from the public and/or recognized employee bargaining organizations; close the public hearing; and accept the vacancies, recruitment, and retenti on report from Human Resources. Staff recommends this alternative.

2. Do not open a public hearing to receive and respond to any comments from the public and/or recognized employee bargaining organizations; close the public hearing; and accept the vacancies, recruitment, and retention report from Human Resources. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the public hearing required under Government Code section 3205.3. However, addressing recruitment and retention issues may involve future budget and bargaining considerations, which will be presented to the City Council as necessary.

Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

ID: 26-0216 Page 2

DISCUSSION

The applicant, NWB Moreno Valley, LLC, submitted a request for the vacation of a portion of Alessandro Boulevard. Said portion is a five -foot (5’) wide strip along the existing southerly Alessandro Boulevard right -of-way, located west of Moreno Beach Drive. Per the Conditions of Approval for PEN23-0103, the developer is required to vacate a portion of Alessandro Boulevard along its project frontage. City staff, therefore, support the request to vacate said portion of Alessandro Boulevard. Prior to the vacation, the California Government Code requires the Planning Commission to find that the vacation conforms with the General Plan.

On March 26, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve the street vacation for a portion of Alessandro Boulevard, in accor dance with provisions of Division 9, Part 3, Chapter 3 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, designated the “Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law”. A recommendation from the Planning Commission is required prior to formal review and action by the City Council on the requested street vacation. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed full vacation of this portion of Alessandro Boulevard and found that vacating this portion of Alessandro Boulevard was in con formance with the General Plan and Zoning Regulations. In addition, the City Council approved the Notice of Intent to Vacate (Resolution 2026-21) on May 5, 2026.

The City Council’s approval to vacate this portion of Alessandro Boulevard would abandon all of the City’s rights for public use, with the exception of reserving easements as requested by Crown Castle Communications and Charter Spectrum for existing communication facilities. An access easement will be reserved for EMWD for access to its property. Vacation of the five feet of right -of-way along Alessandro Boulevard, as described and shown in the exhibits attached to the proposed resolution, is in accordance with the Streets and Highways Code.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Approve and adopt the recommended action s as presented in this staff report.

Staff recommend this alternative as this would allow the street vacation process to move forward.

2. Do not approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report. Staff do not recommend this alt ernative as this would not allow the street vacation process to move forward as required by the project’s Conditions of Approval.

FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact is anticipated.

AGENDA DATE: June 16, 2026

TITLE: DISCUSSION TO EVALUATE LAYERED SECURITY

MEASURES TO ENHANCE SAFETY AT CITY HALL
(REPORT OF: PUBLIC WORKS) ( DISTRICT: DISTRICT
1)

TITLE SUMMARY: Discussion To Evaluate Potential Layered Security Screening Technologies, And Consider Implementing A Pilot Program, Including Policy Direction, Technology,
Infrastructure Requirements, Staffing, Fiscal Impact s, Security Assessment

DISTRICT: District 1

Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

1. Receive and file the staff report regarding the evaluation of potential security screening technologies and metal detection systems as part of the City’s broader layered security approach for public facilities; and

2. Consider implementing a pilot prog ram to evaluate the effectiveness and impacts of metal detectors; and

3. Provide direction to staff following a motion, second, and vote by the City Council.

SUMMARY
This staff report is presented to facilitate discussion regarding potential enhancements to safety and security at public facilities , including options, operational impacts, and long - 920

ID: 26-0241 Page 2
term feasibility before any implementation decisions are considered.

This initiative is part of the City of Moreno Valley’s ongoing efforts to improve safety for residents, visitors , elected officials, and employees while maintaining accessible and welcoming public facilities . S taff is evaluating security screening technologies as one component of a broader layered -security approach. No procurement or implem entation action is being requested at this time.

DISCUSSION
The City of Moreno Valley is committed to maintaining safe and accessible public facilities for residents, visitors, elected officials, and employees. While City facilities currently employ a variety of security measures, including surveillance systems, access controls, and security personne l, the City remains committed to maintaining public facilities that are both safe and welcoming. As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance safety and security at public facilities, staff are evaluating security screening technologies as one component of a broader layered-security approach.

This item was taken before the Public Safety Sub Committee (PSSC) on May 19, 2026, where a motion was approved to bring forward a discussion item to the City Council, including consideration of a pilot program specific to City Hall and the Council Chambers.

The City Council may wish to continue evaluating layered-security measures intended to enhance safety while maintaining welcoming and accessible public facilities for employees, elected officials, residents, and visitors. Any potential implementation would also require evaluation of available screening technologies.

Staff may assess traditional walk-through metal detectors, which represent a proven and lower-cost technology commonly used in government facilities, but may involve slower screening processes, increased nuisance alarms, and more staffing-intensive operations.

Traditional systems generally range from approximately $6,000 to $15,000 per screening lane, excluding infrastructure and staffing costs.

Staff may also evaluate AI -assisted screening systems that provide faster throughput, reduced false alarms, and a less intrusive visitor experience, but ge nerally involve significantly higher acquisition costs, ongoing subscription expenses, and increased infrastructure requirements. AI-assisted systems may range from approximately $75,000 to $200,000 or more per installation, in addition to annual software, maintenance, construction, and staffing expenses.

Potential implementation may also require facility modifications and infrastructure improvements to accommodate screening operations. Considerations may include designated queueing areas, controlled public entry points, electrical and network connectivity, ADA -compliant access routes, emergency egress requirements, and impacts on customer service operations and public meeting access. Operational staffing requirements would also be a consideration. Depending on the scope of implementation and technology selected, the City may need to evaluate staffing models involving existing personnel, contracted security services, additional staffing resources, or hybrid 921

ID: 26-0241 Page 3
approaches. Traditional screening systems may requir e greater staffing interaction and secondary screening procedures, while AI-assisted technologies may improve throughput but still require trained personnel for monitoring, incident response, and operational oversight.

Given the complexity of these conside rations, staff recommends that the City Council provide policy direction regarding desired security objectives and authorize a comprehensive security assessment to evaluate facility needs, technology options, infrastructure requirements, staffing impacts, operational feasibility, and associated costs.

Staff further recommends consideration of a phased pilot program prior to any broader implementation in order to evaluate effectiveness, operational impacts, and community response before determining whether citywide deployment is appropriate.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Consider a pilot program to evaluate layered security measures such as threat detection systems to enhance safety while maintaining accessible and welcoming public facilities. Staff recommends this alternative.

2. Do not consider a pilot program to evaluate layered security measures such as threat detection systems to enhance safety while maintaining accessible and welcoming public facilities. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no costs associated with this discussion item. However, future costs could be incurred by the City if it moves forward with the option to consider a pilot program to evaluate layered security measures, such as threat detection systems to enhance safety while maintaining accessible and welcoming public facilities.

FROM: Melissa Walker, Public Works Director/City Engineer

AGENDA DATE: June 16, 2026

TITLE: DISCUSSION OF THE POTENTIAL INCORPORATION
OF VARIOUS ALLEYWAYS INTO THE CITY’S
MAINTAINED ROAD SYSTEM (REPORT OF: PUBLIC
WORKS) (DISTRICTS 1 AND 4)

TITLE SUMMARY: Discussion Of The Potential Impacts, Liability, And Maintenance Costs Associated With The Incorporation Of 21 Alleyways Located Throughout The City Into The City’s
Maintained Road System

DISTRICT: District 1 and 4

Recommendation(s)

That the City Council:

1. Discuss the potential impacts, liability, and maintenance costs associated with the incorporation of 21 alleyways located throughout the City into the City’s maintained road system; and

2. Provide direction to staff following a motion, second, and vote by the City Council.

SUMMARY
This staff report is presented to facilitate discussion regarding potential impacts, liability, and maintenance costs associated with incorporating a series of 21 alleyways located throughout the City into the City’s maintained road system . The alleyways were considered private property and were not accepted as a public right-of-way by the County of Riverside before the City’s incorporation. As such, these alleyways were not grandfathered into the City’s maintained road system upon incorporation. 925

ID: 26-0238 Page 2

DISCUSSION
There are several alleyways throughout the City that were developed prior to the City’s incorporation. These alleyways were never accepted for maintenance by the County of Riverside (County) at the time of development . Consequently, the alleyways were not grandfathered into the City’s maintained road system upon the City’s incorporation. These alleyways were mapped by the developers as separate legal lettered lots when the developments were buil t, an d they legally remain under the ownership of the original developers. They are therefore considered private property.

Staff was tasked with investigating maintenance responsibility for the alleyways parallel to Postal Avenue, as well as other alleyways throughout the City. The City evaluated the steps necessary to maintain these alleyways, including associated costs and liability. The investigation identified a total of 21 alleyways, including tho se off Postal Avenue, that were not grandfathered into the City’s maintained road system.

Unlike typical public right-of-way dedications, these alleyway areas appear to have been created as “fee -owned or fee simple parcels”, rather than standard street dedications.

Fee-owned or fee simple ownership represents th e highest form of property ownership, granting the owner absolute, unconditional, and perpetual ownership of both land and structures. No evidence has been identified indicating that the City , or the County, prior to incorporation, formally accepted these lots as public right -of-way. Additionally, these alleyways were often not constructed to City standards.

Regarding the ownership of the lettered lots, in the absence of formal dedication acceptance, these lots remain private property, likely vested in the original subdivider or successors' interest. If the original owners have lapsed in practice (e.g., defunct entity), the title remains valid until transferred through tax sale or legal transfer. The original owners do not appear to be in practice, and no successor companies were found.

Because these lots were not accepted as public right-of-way, maintenance responsibility rests with the property owner(s) . T he City has no maintenance obligation for the alleyways. However, it retains authority to enforce Municipal Code nuisance provisions , undertake abatement actions when necessary, and record liens for cost recovery.

The options to address this issue are the following:
 The City does not accept the alleyways for maintenance. The alleyways would remain private and should be maintained by the private owners.  The City does not accept the alleyways for maintenance , but does a one-time pothole repair project estimated at $10, 000. The one-time project could be construed as accepting the maintenance responsibility and liability, placing the City at risk. The alleyways would remain private , and any additional or annual maintenance would be by the private owners.
 The City could incorporate the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system .

The cost to bring the m up to City standards is estimated at $6.4 million . There is also an estimated annual maintenance cost of $36,000.
926

ID: 26-0238 Page 3
 The City could incorporate the alleyways for maintenance but not bring them up to City standards. The maintenance costs would be significantly higher, estimated at $335,000 annually.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Do not incorporate the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system. This option would maintain ownership of the alleyways as private and keep maintenance responsibility with the private property owners . This alternative is recommended as it is the least fiscally impactful option and would avoid burdening the City with construction and mainten ance costs, while also reducing the City’s exposure to liability.

2. Do not incorporate the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system, but do a one-time pothole maintenance project at a cost of approximately $10,000. This option would maintain ownership of the alleyways as private and keep annual maintenance responsibility with the private property owners . However, this would potentially place the City at risk of liability. This alternative is not recommended, as it burdens the City with potential exposure to liability.

3. Direct staff to prepare an item for City Council consideration to accept the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system and approve funding in the amount of $6.4 million to bring the alleyways up to City standards, as well as approximately $36,000 annually for ongoing maintenance. This alternative is not recommended, as it would result in significant cost and increased liability for the City.

4. Direct staff to prepare an item for City Council consideration to accept the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system, without bringing the alleyways up to City standards, and approve approximately $335,000 in annual funding for ongoing maintenance. This alternative is not recommended, as it would result in high annual costs and increased liability for the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no associated costs with this discussion item. However, significant future costs could be incurred by the City if it moves forward with the options to accept the alleyways into the City’s maintained road system.
