2.2 AB 98 and SB 415
On September 29, 2024, Assembly Bill 98 (AB 98) was signed into law by Governor Newsom and requires jurisdictions within the State’s designated logistics warehouse concentration regions (which include the City of Moreno Valley) to update their General Plan Circulation Elements by January 1, 2026, to identify and establish designated truck routes for the movement of goods. AB 98 responds to the public health, environmental, and quality-of-life impacts stemming from the growth of logistics warehouse facilities. AB 98 requires local jurisdictions to designate truck routes that prioritize the use of major arterials and highways, avoid sensitive land uses such as, but not limited to, homes, schools, and healthcare facilities, and include public signage and accessible mapping. AB 98 also imposes new development standards for logistics warehouse facilities, including setbacks, buffers, air-quality mitigation, and the use of zeroemission equipment. The intent of AB 98 is to create a more equitable and sustainable approach to goods movement associated with logistics warehouse facilities. AB 98 aims to reduce disproportionate burdens on vulnerable communities, promote cleaner industrial practices, and balance economic development with public health and environmental justice.
On October 3, 2025, Governor Newsom then signed into law Senate Bill 415 (SB 415), which defined various standards initially introduced in AB 98.1SB 415 defines specific logistics warehouse development standards, truck route ordinance requirements, and environmental protection requirements, including those pertaining to air quality and health impacts. However, at the time AB 98 and SB 415 were signed into law, the City was in the process of preparing the 2024 Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report (2024 RFEIR) in response to a Judgment and Writ issued by Riverside County Superior Court on May 6, 2024 (Case No. CVRI2103300).
In June 2021 and August 2021, the City Council approved the previous MoVal 2040 Project which consisted of the 2021 General Plan Update (2021 GPU), 2021 Climate Action Plan (2021 CAP), and related 2021 Associated Zoning Text and Zoning Atlas Amendments (2021 Zoning Amendments), (collectively, the 2021 MoVal 2040 Project) and certified 2021 Final Program Environmental Impact Report (2021 FEIR) prepared for 2021 MoVal 2040 Project. Thereafter, the Sierra Club filed a Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory Relief in the Riverside County Superior Court (Case No. CVRI2103300), challenging the City’s decision to certify the 2021 FEIR and approve the 2021 MoVal 2040 Project.
Subsequently, the California Attorney General intervened in the case through the filing of a Petition for Writ of Mandate-in-Intervention.
The case was concluded with a Statement of Decision from the Riverside County Superior Court (Court), dated March 5, 2024, in which the Court granted the petition on the issues limited to baseline (existing conditions analysis), air quality, climate change (greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions), and energy use. The Statement of Decision was followed by the Judgment and Writ issued by the Court on May 6, 2024 (Case No. CVRI2103300). The Writ commanded the City to set aside the City Council’s certification of the 2021 FEIR and approval of the 2021 GPU (excepting the City’s Housing Element adopted in October 2022), the 1 California Legislative Information, Senate Bill No. 415, Planning and Zoning, Logistics Use Development Truck Routes, https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB415.

In the City’s Final Return to the Writ and Request for Discharge of the Writ, the City confirmed that, in compliance with the Writ, it took the appropriate actions to set aside certification of the 2021 FEIR and approval of the 2021 GPU (excepting the City’s Housing Element adopted in October 2022), the 2021 CAP and 2021 Zoning Amendments. All parties stipulated to the City’s compliance with the Writ which Court then fully discharged on September 19, 2024.
Immediately after the Court’s discharge of the Writ, the City commenced the preparation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project (consisting of the 2024 GPU, 2024 CAP, and 2024 Zoning Amendments) and the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project Project’s Revised Draft Program EIR (2024 RDEIR), to correct the deficiencies identified in the Writ, consistent with the Statement of Decision. On August 14, 2025, a public scoping meeting was held to solicit input from the public and interested agencies on the scope of the necessary environmental analysis for the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Following the scoping meeting, the 2024 RDEIR was prepared and circulated for a 45-day public review period, commencing July 7, 2025, through August 21, 2025, followed by a duly noticed public hearing of the Moreno Valley Planning Commission (Planning Commission) on October 9, 2025, to consider the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and the 2024 RDEIR. However, due to the receipt of a letter from the State of California Office of the Attorney General Office (AGO) on October 7, 2025, regarding the proposed 2024 CAP and the 2024 RDEIR’s various air quality issues and mitigation measures, the Moreno Valley City Attorney recommended that the Planning Commission continue the October 9, 2025 Planning Commission public hearing to provide staff sufficient time to respond to the various issues and mitigation measures raised by the AGO. As such, the Planning Commission continued the October 9, 2025 Planning Commission public hearing to the Planning Commission’s regular meeting, scheduled for October 23, 2025. At the duly noticed October 23, 2025 public hearing, after hearing a staff report, receiving public testimony and engaging in deliberation, the Planning Commission voted to: (a) adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt the Findings of Fact, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations and certify the 2024 RFEIR; and (b) adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Thereafter, at a duly noticed public hearing of the Moreno Valley City Council, the City Council voted to adopt the Findings of Fact, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations and certify the 2024 RFEIR; and (b) approve the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project (PEN25-0020).
Notwithstanding the certification of the 2024 RFEIR and approval of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, and the ongoing negotiations with the AGO, from November 2025 through April 2026, the City was simultaneously committed to engaging the public and interested stakeholders in the preparation of a revised truck route map and related amendment to the Circulation Element of the 2024 GPU in compliance with the mandates set forth in AB 98 and SB 415. However, due to the City’s concentrated efforts and time and resources committed to analyzing and preparing the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and 2024 RDEIR and 2024 RFIER and the ongoing negotiations with the AGO, the City informed the AGO that it was necessary that the City be provided additional time to conduct the necessary community engagement to solicit thorough and meaningful input from the public and other interested stakeholders on revisions to the City current truck routes map to ensure that the proper changes are made not only in compliance with the mandates of AB 98 and SB 415, but also consistent with the plans and policies of the various elements of the City’s recently approved 2024 GPU, 2024 CAP and 2024 Zoning Amendments and the applicable mitigation measures (PEN26-0055) set forth in the 2024 RFIER and the objectives of the airBackground 2021CAP and 2021 Zoning Amendments. In the City’s Final Return to the Writ and Request for Discharge of the Writ, the City confirmed that, in compliance with the Writ, it took the appropriate actions to set aside certification of the 2021 FEIR and approval of the 2021 GPU (excepting the City’s Housing Element adopted in October 2022), the 2021CAP and 2021Zoning Amendments. All parties stipulated to the City’s compliance with the Writ which Court then fully discharged on September 19, 2024.
Immediately after the Court’s discharge of the Writ, the City commenced the preparation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project (consisting of the 2024 GPU, 2024 CAP, and 2024 Zoning Amendments) and the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project Project's Revised Draft Program EIR {2024 RDEIR), to correct the deficiencies identified in the Writ, consistent with the Statement of Decision. On August 14, 2025, a public scoping meeting was held to solicit input from the public and interested agencies on the scope of the necessary environmental analysis for the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Following the scoping meeting, the 2024 RDEIR was prepared and circulated for a 45-day public review period, commencing July 7, 2025, through August 21, 2025, followed by a duly noticed public hearing of the Moreno Valley Planning Commission (Planning Commission) on October 9, 2025, to consider the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and the 2024 RDEIR. However, due to the receipt of a letter from the State of California Office of the Attorney General Office (AGO) on October 7, 2025, regarding the proposed 2024 CAP and the 2024 RDEIR’s various air quality issues and mitigation measures, the Moreno Valley City Attorney recommended that the Planning Commission continue the October 9, 2025 Planning Commission public hearing to provide staff sufficient time to respond to the various issues and mitigation measures raised by the AGO. As such, the Planning Commission continued the October 9, 2025 Planning Commission public hearing to the Planning Commission’s regular meeting, scheduled for October 23, 2025. At the duly noticed October 23, 2025 public hearing, after hearing a staff report, receiving public testimony and engaging in deliberation, the Planning Commission voted to: (a) adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt the Findings of Fact, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations and certify the 2024 RFEIR;and (b) adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Thereafter, at a duly noticed public hearing of the Moreno Valley City Council, the City Council voted to adopt the Findings of Fact, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations and certify the 2024 RFEIR; and (b) approve the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project (PEN25-0020).
Notwithstanding the certification of the 2024 RFEIR and approval of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, and the ongoing negotiations with the AGO, from November 2025 through April 2026, the City was simultaneously committed to engaging the public and interested stakeholders in the preparation of a revised truck route map and related amendment to the Circulation Element of the 2024 GPU in compliance with the mandates set forth in AB 98 and SB 415. However, due to the City’s concentrated efforts and time and resources committed to analyzing and preparing the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and 2024 RDEIR and 2024 RFIER and the ongoing negotiations with the AGO, the City informed the AGO that it was necessary that the City be provided additional time to conduct the necessary community engagement to solicit thorough and meaningful input from the public and other interested stakeholders on revisions to the City current truck routes map to ensure that the proper changes are made not only in compliance with the mandates of AB 98 and SB 415, but also consistent with the plans and policies of the various elements of the City’s recently approved 2024 GPU, 2024 CAP and 2024 Zoning Amendments and the applicable mitigation measures (PEN26-0055) set forth in the 2024 RFIER and the objectives of the airSupporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 4 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report Background

2.3 Circulation Element Amendment and Truck Route Map Update Ordinance
AB 98 and SB 415 call for cities to clearly identify truck routes that can safely handle goods movement while minimizing impacts on neighborhoods, schools, and other sensitive receptor areas, in relation to logistics warehouse facilities. The City proposes to comply with AB 98 and SB 415 by revising the Circulation Element and amending Chapter 36 of the Title 12 of the City’s Municipal Code regarding truck routes (“Truck Route Ordinance”), as described in Section 3, below (collectively, the “Project”). The City’s Circulation Element Update satisfies the statutory requirements for the General Plan Circulation Element and provides a circulation diagram identifying major thoroughfares; transportation routes for vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians; and also a military airport. The Circulation Element Update also includes policies for “complete streets,” which provide a balanced, multimodal transportation network serving all users and abilities and supports other chapters of the General Plan by providing and enhancing multimodal transportation options and supporting adjacent land uses.
This Addendum analyzes potential impacts of the Project as described herein, as compared to impacts identified and evaluated in the 2024 RFEIR. As identified above, pursuant to provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City is the “Lead Agency” charged with the responsibility of deciding whether to approve the Project. As part of its decision-making process, the City is required to review and consider whether the Project would create new significant impacts or more severe significant impacts than those previously disclosed, analyzed and mitigated for in the in the 2024 RFEIR. Additional CEQA review beyond this Addendum would only be triggered if the Project would result in new significant impacts or more severe significant impacts than those disclosed, analyzed and mitigated for in the 2024 RFEIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a) states that an Addendum is the appropriate CEQA document for the Project, if the City finds that major revisions to the 2024 RFEIR are not necessary and that none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR (SEIR) are triggered.
As detailed herein, the Project would not result in any new significant impacts and/or more severe impacts that were not disclosed, analyzed and mitigated for in the 2024 RFEIR. As demonstrated in this Addendum, the potential impacts associated with the Project would either be the same or less than those described in the 2024 RFEIR. In addition, there are no substantial changes to the circumstances under which the Project would be undertaken that would result in new or more severe environmental impacts than those previously addressed in the 2024 RFEIR, nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts been identified.

The Project consists of: (1) a proposed amendment, as mandated by AB 98 and SB 415, to the Circulation Element of the 2024 GPU, approved as part of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, to include revisions to the revisions to the discussion, policies, actions and exhibits and corrections of grammatical errors contained in or associated with the Circulation Element’s and exhibits, and corrections of grammatical errors contained in or associated with the Circulation Element’s Goods Movement section; and (2) a proposed Truck Route Ordinance containing revisions to the City’s designated truck routes map and truck route provisions contained in the Moreno Valley Municipal Code consistent with the City’s amended Circulation Element and in compliance with the pertinent provisions of AB 98 and SB 415 and consistent with the AGO Negotiated Mitigation Measures Ordinance.
3.1 Project Setting and Location
3.1.1 Regional Location
The City is located in the western part of Riverside County. Interstate 215 (I-215) lies west of the City and State Route 60 (SR 60) runs through the northern portion of the City; see Figure 1: Regional Location Map.
These highways are accessed by multiple on/off ramps throughout the City and intersect in the western portion of the City (west of the Moreno Valley Mall) just outside of the City limits. The northern border of the City backs up to the Reche Canyon/Box Springs Mountain Reserve, which is just south of the Riverside/San Bernardino County line. To the east of the City lies the City of Beaumont, to the south is the City of Perris, and to the west is the City of Riverside.
3.1.2 Moreno Valley Truck Routes
The City’s ready access to the regional transportation network, which is supported by rail, air, and freeway connections, makes it a desirable location for goods movement. Goods movement in the City occurs primarily on major highways that bisect and border the City, including SR 60 and I-215. Truck traffic on City streets is restricted to specific routes that are designated for through traffic of trucks over three tons; the truck network system is identified in the City’s Municipal Code. These truck routes help facilitate the movement of goods throughout the City, while providing a connection between major highway facilities (i.e., SR 60 and I-215) to local roadways, such as Alessandro Boulevard, Heacock Street and Perris Boulevard. Truck traffic is restricted to these designated roadways, unless otherwise authorized by the California Vehicle Code, in order to minimize degradation of City streets and promote safety on residential streets. In addition, the City supports improvements to regional goods-movement facilities, such as aviation cargo operations at March Air Reserve Base/March Inland Port.
Existing Truck Routes
The City’s existing truck routes are shown on Figure 2: Existing Truck Routes and Sensitive Receptors within 1,000 Feet. This figure shows areas of potential conflict where sensitive receptors, as defined in AB 98 and SB 415 (e.g., schools, parks, care facilities, and residential areas), are located within 1,000 feet of an existing truck route. As shown in Figure 2, SR 60 and I-215 are part of the federally designated National Network Route. The key segments of the City’s existing truck routes are Perris Boulevard, Alessandro Boulevard, Frederick Street, and Heacock Street, which carry some of the highest truck volumes in the City, with daily truck traffic exceeding approximately 1,300 to 1,600 trucks.

These segments pass through established residential neighborhoods and areas with a concentration of schools and community facilities, which are considered sensitive receptors. Alessandro Boulevard, which serves as a major east–west corridor, is largely commercial in character; however, segments, particularly east of Heacock Street, interface with residential uses and schools. Frederick Street and portions of Redlands Boulevard exhibit a similar pattern, where commercial uses are interspersed with residential neighborhoods, increasing the potential for conflicts with sensitive receptors.
3.2 Project Description
As discussed in Section 2, Background, of this Addendum, AB 98 and SB 415 require cities to clearly identify truck routes that can safely handle goods movement while minimizing impacts on neighborhoods, schools, and other sensitive areas. The Project updates the existing truck routes network in the City to better align with the goals of AB 98 and SB 415.
3.2.1 Proposed Truck Routes
The Project proposes to revise the City’s truck routes network as shown on Figure 3: Proposed Truck Routes and Sensitive Receptors within 1,000 Feet. The existing truck routes that will be eliminated as officially designated truck routes from the proposed truck route network are shown in Figure 4, Proposed Existing Truck Routes to Be Eliminated and Sensitive Receptors Within 1,000 Feet. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, with the elimination of a multitude of existing truck routes, the realignment of others, and the addition of segments of Eucalyptus Avenue east of Redlands Boulevard and Redlands Boulevard between Eucalyptus Avenue and SR 60, the proposed truck routes network would reduce truck travel activity on local streets and nearby sensitive receptors and shift freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215 while prioritizing access to industrial areas that permit logistics warehouse facilities. The proposed truck routes network, as shown in Figure 3, are mainly limited to the portions of Alessandro Boulevard, Cactus Avenue, Perris Boulevard, and several future interior streets in the World Logistics Center Project, which were approved for truck travel under previously approved land use entitlements on land that remains zoned for industrial and business park uses.
The World Logistics Center Specific Plan (WLC Specific Plan) includes a circulation network intended to move large vehicles efficiently between the regional highway network and businesses within the Specific Plan Area while directing heavy truck traffic away from nearby residential neighborhoods and other sensitive receptors. Heavy truck traffic associated with the WLC Specific Plan is directed to State Route (SR) 60, Gilman Springs Road, the segment of Redlands Boulevard between SR 60 and Eucalyptus Avenue, and Eucalyptus Avenue between Redlands Boulevard and World Logistics Center Parkway. These roadways, together with the WLC Specific Plan Area’s internal roadway network that has yet to be fully constructed, are designated as truck routes within the Specific Plan and will be designated as such on the City’s Truck Route Map. Development and occupancy of the WLC Specific Plan area are anticipated to occur over the next 10 years.
Due to existing development patterns and limited alternative corridors, complete avoidance of sensitive receptors is not feasible in all locations. As such, the City will implement a combination of mitigation and operational strategies, including signage, buffering, and traffic management measures. The Circulation Element Amendment also indicates that the City will require new logistics developments to prepare truck routing plans consistent with the designated truck routes network, which will be subject to periodic review Description of the Proposed Project

As discussed in Section 2, Background, of this Addendum, AB 98 and SB415 require cities to clearly identify truck routes that can safely handle goods movement while minimizing impacts on neighborhoods, schools, and other sensitive areas. The Project updates the existing truck routes network in the City to better align with the goals of AB 98 and SB 415.

Truck routes in adjacent jurisdictions may not align with the Project’s proposed truck route network; however, in such cases (as discussed below), trucks are permitted to utilize non-designated local streets within the City to access the nearest designated truck route. In addition, trucks serving local commercial and industrial uses will continue to utilize the most direct routes where necessary, as alternative designated routes may not provide feasible access to final destinations. 2 3.2.2 Proposed Policies and Actions
The Project would also revise the policies and actions that support Goal C-6 of the Circulation Element, which directs the City to provide for safe, efficient goods movement by road, air, and rail. The following new actions are proposed to support Goal C-6:
• Maintain and regularly update a publicly accessible Truck Route Map, including GIS data, to clearly identify designated routes and support enforcement and coordination with regional agencies. • Require new logistics warehouse developments to be located and designed to minimize reliance on local streets and avoid creating new truck traffic conflicts with sensitive receptors. • Coordinate with Caltrans, neighboring jurisdictions, and regional agencies to align truck routes and minimize the need for trucks servicing logistics warehouse developments to use nondesignated local streets.
Additionally, the Project would revise existing actions outlined in the Circulation Element to maintain internal consistency amongst the other proposed revisions to the Circulation Element, which further define actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided. Together, these revisions incorporate the development and siting standards required by AB 98 and SB 415 and are consistent with the air qualityrelated mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, as set forth in the AGO Negotiated Mitigation Ordinance. As such, these actions are included to support Goal C-6:
• Avoid routing truck traffic through or adjacent to sensitive land uses to the extent feasible; where avoidance is not feasible due to existing conditions, implement mitigation measures such as buffering, signage, and operational controls.
• Continue to require all new or expanded logistics warehouse developments to comply with the air quality-related mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, as set forth in the AGO Negotiated Mitigation Measures Ordinance.
2 California Vehicle Code § 35703 mandates that no city may adopt a truck route ordinance that prohibits "any commercial vehicles coming from an unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been obtained." Moreover, 49 USCS § 31114(a) requires that "[a] State may not enact or enforce a law denying to a commercial motor vehicle subject to this subchapter [49 USCS §§ 31111 et seq.] or subchapter I of this chapter [49 USCS §§ 31101 et seq.] reasonable access between—the Dwight D.

3.2.2 Proposed Policies and Actions
The Project would also revise the policies and actions that support Goal C-6 of the Circulation Element, which directs the City to provide for safe, efficient goods movement by road, air, and rail. The following new actions are proposed to support Goal C-6:
eo Maintain and regularly update a publicly accessible Truck Route Map, including GISdata,to clearly identify designated routes and support enforcement and coordination with regional agencies. eo Require new logistics warehouse developments to be located and designed to minimize reliance on local streets and avoid creating new truck traffic conflicts with sensitive receptors. e Coordinate with Caltrans, neighboring jurisdictions, and regional agencies to align truck routes and minimize the need for trucks servicing logistics warehouse developments to use nondesignated local streets.
Additionally, the Project would revise existing actions outlined in the Circulation Element to maintain internal consistency amongst the other proposed revisions to the Circulation Element, which further define actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided. Together, these revisions incorporate the development and siting standards required by AB 98 and SB 415 and are consistent with the air qualityrelated mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, as set forth in the AGO Negotiated Mitigation Ordinance. As such, these actions are included to support Goal C-6:
e Avoid routing truck traffic through or adjacent to sensitive land uses to the extent feasible; where avoidance is not feasible due to existing conditions, implement mitigation measures such as buffering, signage, and operational controls.
e Continue to require all new or expanded logistics warehouse developments to comply with the air quality-related mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO, as set forth in the AGO Negotiated Mitigation Measures Ordinance.
2 California Vehicle Code § 35703 mandates that no city may adopt a truck route ordinance that prohibits "any commercial vehicles coming from an unrestricted street having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any building or structure upon the restricted street for which a building permit has previously been obtained." Moreover, 49 USCS § 31114(a) requires that "[a] State may not enact or enforce a law denying to a commercial motor vehicle subject to this subchapter [49 USCS§§ 31111 et seq.] or subchapter | of this chapter [49 USCS§§ 31101et seq.] reasonable access between—the Dwight D.Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways {except a segment exempted under section 31111(f) or 31113{e) of this title [49 USCS§ 31111(f) or 31113(e}]} and other qualifying Federal-aid Primary System highways designated by the Secretary of Transportation; and terminals, facilities for food, fuel, repairs, and rest, and points of loading and unloading for household goods carriers, motor carriers of passengers, any towaway trailer transporter combination (as defined in section 31111(a) [49 USCS§ 31111(a}]}, or any truck tractor-semitrailer combination in which the semitrailer has a length of not more than 28.5 feet and that generally operates as part of a vehicle combination described in section 31111(c} of this title [49 USCS § 31111{(c)]."

3.3 Project Approvals
The City is the Lead Agency as set forth in CEQA Statute Section 21067 and is responsible for reviewing and approving the Addendum to the 2024 RFEIR. In order to implement the Project, the City would need to take the following discretionary actions:
• Adopt a Resolution Approving the Addendum to the 2024 RFEIR; • Adopt a Resolution Approving the Circulation Element Update; and • Introduce and subsequently Pass/Adopt a Truck Route Ordinance and a Truck Routes Map containing revisions to the provisions contained in the Moreno Valley Municipal Code, consistent with the City’s amended Circulation Element and in compliance with the pertinent provisions of AB 98 and SB 415 and the Mitigation Measures Ordinance negotiated with the California Attorney General’s Office.

The scope of the City’s review of the Project is set forth in CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. This review is limited to evaluating the environmental effects associated with the Project when compared to the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project as described in the 2024 RFEIR. This Addendum also reviews new information, based on the subsequent review of vested development entitlements, which warrants the need to eliminate and/or realign some existing truck routes,add segments of Eucalyptus Avenue east of Redlands Boulevard and Redlands Boulevard between Eucalyptus Avenue and SR-60, and acknowledge that several future interior streets in the World Logistics Center Project were approved for truck travel under previously approved land use entitlements on land that remains zoned for industrial and business park uses. This new information is of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable due diligence at the time the 2024 RFEIR was certified. This evaluation includes a determination as to whether the changes proposed for the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in any new significant impacts or more severe significant impact.
Although CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 does not stipulate the format or content of an Addendum, the topical areas evaluated in the 2024 RFEIR were used as guidance for this Addendum. In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) states that “A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the Project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.” This comparative analysis provides the City with the factual basis for determining whether any changes to the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, any changes in circumstances, or any new information since the 2024 RFEIR was certified would require additional environmental review or preparation of a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City has determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that implementation of the Project does not propose substantial changes from what was studied and reviewed for the 2024 RFEIR, no substantial changes in circumstances would occur which would require major revisions to the 2024 RFEIR, and no new information of substantial importance has been revealed since the certification of 2024 RFEIR that would result in either new significant effects or an increase in the severity of previously analyzed significant effects.
Again, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was adopted as a part of the 2024 RFEIR that minimized impacts associated with the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. The relevant and previously adopted 2024 RFEIR MMRP will be imposed as conditions of the Project. The MMRP is contained in Appendix A.

5.1.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
In summary, the 2024 RFEIR concluded that impacts regarding scenic vistas, visual character, and glare impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. There would be no impact regarding scenic resources within a State scenic highway because there are no State-designated or eligible scenic highways within the Planning Area for the 2024 RFEIR. Compliance with local plans; the City’s Municipal Code, requiring standard design measures as well as lighting and landscaping requirements; Title 24 of the California Building Standards Code, which serves as the basis for the design and construction of buildings in California; and the 2024 GPU policies would be required for future development under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Therefore, with consistency with all relevant regulations, impacts related to aesthetics would be less than significant.

5.1.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Threshold (b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? Threshold (c) Would the project, if in a non-urbanized area, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
Threshold (d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
No New or More Severe Significant Impact
According to the 2024 RFEIR, impacts regarding scenic vistas, visual character, and glare impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications that would impact scenic vistas, visual character, or glare.
Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any of the 2024 GPU policies or programs specific to aesthetics or scenic vistas.
No aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts to aesthetics, such impacts would be less than significant.
Applicable Mitigation Measures from 2024 RFEIR:
No mitigation measures are required.

5.2.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would impact Prime Farmland and Farmland of Local Importance within the proposed Concept Areas. The 2024 RFEIR determined that the continued development of properties under the land use designations that would remain unchanged would also have the potential to convert additional land designated as Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance or Unique Farmland to non-farming uses. Although the conversion of Farmland was anticipated and evaluated under the general plan prior to the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, the 2006 General Plan EIR, some vacant Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program designations remain that could be converted to non-agricultural uses, which would be considered significant.
The 2024 RFEIR determined that there would be no conflicts with agricultural zoning as the City does not have any exclusive agricultural zones and the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project does not include any rezoning.
Additionally, the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project did not propose any land use changes within or adjacent to any land subject to a Williamson Act Contract. Therefore, impacts related to agricultural zoning and Williamson Act Contracts would be less than significant. Additionally, no impacts would occur in regard to forest zoning and forest land.
Lastly, the 2024 RFEIR concluded that the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would intensify uses within the Planning Area in a manner that would reduce the feasibility of agricultural production.
Furthermore, the continued development of land under the land use designations that would remain unchanged could also indirectly affect the feasibility of agricultural production through continued urbanization. Therefore, the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would potentially result in indirect conversion of potential farmland resources to non-agricultural uses, which would be considered a significant impact.

No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
According to the 2024 RFEIR, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would impact Prime Farmland and Farmland of Local Importance within the Planning Area. Implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project does not propose any land use changes within or adjacent to a Williamson Act Contract.
Therefore, impacts related to agricultural zoning and Williamson Act Contracts would be less than significant. The City also does not possess any zoning classifications for forestland, timberland, or timberland production zones, nor does the Planning Area possess any forestland. Future development could accelerate the conversion of agricultural land. Implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would intensify uses within the Planning Area in a manner that would further reduce the feasibility of agricultural production. Furthermore, the continued development of land under the land use designations that would remain unchanged could also indirectly affect the feasibility of agricultural production through urbanization due to the introduction of a higher intensity land use.
The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications that would impact Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance; would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications that would impact land within or adjacent to any land subject to a Williamson Act Contract; would not impact forest zoning or forest land; and would not affect the feasibility of agricultural production.
Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any 2024 GPU policies or programs specific to agriculture and forestry resources.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts to agriculture and forestry resources, such impacts would be less than significant.

The 2024 RFEIR concluded that the buildout under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not be consistent with the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) because it would increase vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per service population when compared to existing conditions, resulting in significant and unavoidable transportation impacts related to VMT. However, at a programmatic level of analysis, there are no feasible mitigation measures that would reduce air quality impacts associated with development facilitated by the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. As such, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not be consistent with the AQMP, and impacts would be significant and unavoidable.
The 2024 RFEIR also determined that construction and operations associated with future development that would be accommodated under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project could generate both short-term (construction) and long-term (operations) emissions in excess of the South Coast Air Quality Management Environmental Impact Analysis

The 2024 RFEIR also determined that construction and operations associated with future development that would be accommodated under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project could generate both short-term (construction) and long-term (operations) emissions in excess of the South Coast Air Quality Management Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 25 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report Environmental Impact Analysis
Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 26 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report District’s (SCAQMD) threshold criteria. For short-term emissions, implementing MM AQ-1 through MM AQ-5 and complying with the 2024 GPU goals and policies would reduce construction-related air pollutant emissions. However, individual projects could implement these mitigation measures and still exceed the SCAQMD regional significance thresholds. Therefore, the 2024 RFEIR construction-related regional air quality impacts of developments that would be accommodated by the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would remain significant and unavoidable. For long-term operations, MM AQ-5, in addition to the 2024 GPU goals and policies, would reduce air pollutant emissions. The conditions and policies covering topics such as expansion of the pedestrian and bicycle networks, promotion of public and active transit, and support to increase building energy efficiency and energy conservation would also reduce criteria air pollutants within the City. However, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable due to the magnitude of the overall land use development associated with the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project.
Similarly, localized construction and operational emissions associated with future development could exceed the SCAQMD’s localized significance thresholds (LST) and health risk thresholds. Cumulative development within the City would exceed the regional significance thresholds; therefore, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project could contribute to an increase in health effects in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) until the attainment standards are met in the Basin. As such, the 2024 RFEIR concluded that the regional air quality would remain significant and unavoidable even with mitigation implemented. MM AQ-5 would also result in a reduction of localized construction- and operation-related criteria air pollutant emissions to the extent logistically and technologically feasible. However, because existing sensitive receptors may be near construction activities and large emitters of on-site operationrelated criteria air pollutant emissions generated by individual development projects accommodated by the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, construction and operation emissions generated by such projects have the potential to exceed SCAQMD’s LSTs. Overall, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.
Regarding health risk, implementation of MM AQ-5 also has the potential to reduce construction and operational health risk; however, construction and operation health risk generated by projects under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would still have the potential to exceed SCAQMD’s health risk. Overall, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable for construction risk and less than significant with mitigation for operational health risk.
Regarding odor, the 2024 RFEIR found that impacts related to construction and operational odor impacts would be less than significant with compliance with 2024 GPU policies and SCAQMD Rules 402 and 1113.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
At a programmatic level of analysis, there are no feasible mitigation measures that would reduce air quality impacts associated with development facilitated by the 2024 GPU.

Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The truck route modifications would not change the total number of truck trips overall but rather reroute these trips along different roadway segments. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to air quality. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215 and prioritizing access to industrial areas. As described in Appendix B: Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment of this Addendum, the modification of the truck routes would result in a VMT increase of approximately 2.8 percent and an increase of mobile source emissions of criteria pollutants of less than 1 percent due to the minor increase in VMT. 3 Neither increase
is considered substantial because the shifting of truck trips would decrease the incremental carcinogenic risk for the majority of sensitive receptors. A few receptors areas may have incremental higher risk; however, such risk would remain below South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 10 in one million incremental thresholds. The increase in emissions is negligible in magnitude and does not result in a new or more severe impact. Impacts related to operational air quality emissions would remain significant and unavoidable, consistent with the conclusions in the 2024 RFEIR.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on an applicable air quality plan, such impacts would continue to be significant and unavoidable.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 33 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report As discussed in the 2024 RFEIR, future development resulting from the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in air pollutant emissions generated during construction activities. Similarly, operations of future development projects under implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in emissions of area sources (e.g., consumer products, architectural coating, and landscape equipment), energy sources (i.e., natural gas usage for space and water heating and cooking), and mobile sources (i.e., motor vehicles from vehicle trips generated by implementation of the proposed Project).
Although no specific development projects are proposed as part of the Project, future development operational emissions would be associated with area sources, energy sources, and mobile sources.
As detailed in Appendix B: Air Quality and Health Risk Assessment, modification of the proposed truck routes would result in a minor increase in mobile source emissions due to the small VMT increase with the shifting of truck trips.

Applicable Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
No mitigation measures are required.
Threshold (c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? No New or More Severe Significant Impact
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts for construction and less than significant with mitigation incorporated during operations. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications.
Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes network and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. Moreover, since the Project would be located within the existing public right-of-way, there would be no construction on existing roads, other than the future development of several interior streets in the World Logistics Center Project, which were approved for truck travel under previously approved land use entitlements on land that remains zoned for industrial and business park uses and analyzed in the context of World Logistics Center Revised Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2012021045).
As described in Appendix B, the truck route modifications proposed by the Project would change the number of truck trips along the studied roadway segments, which in turn will change the carcinogenic risk assessment, cancer burden, and chronic hazard assessment. The majority of the receptors surrounding said segments will see a reduction incremental carcinogenic risk. However, while a few receptors may be exposed to any incremental higher risk on the order of 0.04 to 2.88 in one million, the risk would remain below SCAQMD 10 in one million incremental thresholds, which is not considered substantial.

Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes network and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. Moreover, since the Project would be located within the existing public right-of-way, there would be no construction on existing roads, other than the future development of several interior streets in the World Logistics Center Project, which were approved for truck travel under previously approved land use entitlements on land that remains zoned for industrial and business park uses and analyzed in the context of World Logistics Center Revised Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2012021045).
As described in Appendix B, the truck route modifications proposed by the Project would change the number of truck trips along the studied roadway segments, which in turn will change the carcinogenic risk assessment, cancer burden, and chronic hazard assessment. The majority of the receptors surrounding said segments will see a reduction incremental carcinogenic risk. However, while a few receptors may be exposed to any incremental higher risk on the order of 0.04 to 2.88 in one million, the risk would remain below SCAQMD 10 in one million incremental thresholds, which is not considered substantial.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 35 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, such impacts would be less than significant.
Applicable Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
No mitigation measures are required.
Threshold (d) Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in lessthan-significant impacts, including emissions of odors, affecting a substantial number of people. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways, which would result in other emissions, such as those leading to odors. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to odors. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215 and prioritizing access to industrial areas. In summary, the proposed revised truck routes network would shift truck trips farther away from the majority of sensitive receptors and closer to smaller sensitive receptor populations. Therefore, the net impact of potential odors from trucks would be reduced, and the Project would not result in emissions (such as those leading to odors) that would adversely affect a substantial number of people.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on other emissions that would lead to odors, such impacts would be less than significant.

5.4.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that the buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would have the potential to directly or indirectly impact candidate, sensitive, or special status species, sensitive riparian habitats, and jurisdictional wetlands and waters. However, implementation of MM BIO-1 and MM BIO-2 would reduce impacts on sensitive and special status species and sensitive riparian habitats. Mitigation would be provided on a project-by-project basis. Therefore, impacts to candidate, sensitive, or special status species, sensitive riparian habitats, and jurisdictional wetlands and waters would remain significant and unavoidable. The 2024 RFEIR determined that buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would have less than significant impacts on wildfire corridors, local policies and ordinances, and the adopted Habitat Conservation Plan.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
MM BIO-1 would require a site-specific biology survey for sites with the potential for sensitive biological resources to be present. This survey would occur at the time future projects are proposed, based on sitespecific conditions at the time of application. The measures provide a framework for future development consistent with the 2024 GPU to reduce potentially significant impacts to the extent feasible.
MM BIO-1 Applications for future development of vacant properties (and portions thereof), wherein the Director of Community Development or his or her designee has determined a potential for impacts to sensitive biological resources, shall be required to prepare a sitespecific general biological resources survey to identify the presence of any sensitive biological resources, including any sensitive plant or wildlife species. The report shall identify the need for focused presence/absence surveys and identify the presence of state or federal regulated wetlands or waters. If potentially significant impacts to sensitive biological resources, including sensitive species and/or wetlands are identified, the report shall also recommend appropriate mitigation to reduce the impacts to below a level of significance.
MM BIO-2 Applications for future development, wherein the Director of Community Development or his or her designee has determined a potential for impacts to mature trees and/or native vegetation suitable for nesting birds, shall be required to restrict removal of sensitive habitat and vegetation to outside the breeding seasons of any sensitive species identified within adjacent properties (typical bird breeding season is February 1– September 1. as early as January 1 for some raptors).

5.4.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No New or More Severe Significant Impact: The 2024 RFEIR found that impacts on candidate, sensitive, or special-status species were significant and unavoidable.

Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
MM CUL-1 Prior to the issuance of any permit for a future development site-specific project that would directly or indirectly affect a building/structure in excess of 50 years of age, the City or a qualified architectural historian shall determine whether the affected building/structure is historically significant. The evaluation shall be based on criteria such as age, location, context, association with an important person or event, uniqueness, or structural integrity, as indicated in the CEQA Guidelines. If the evaluation determines that building/structure is not historic, no further evaluation or mitigation would be required.
If the building/structure is determined to be historically significant, the preferred mitigation would be to avoid the resource through project redesign. If the resource cannot be avoided, all prudent and feasible measures to minimize or mitigate harm to the resource shall be taken per recommendations of the qualified architectural historian..
MM CUL-2 Prior to issuance of any permit for a future site-specific project that would potentially have a direct or indirect affect an archaeological resource, the City shall require the following steps be taken to determine: (1) the presence of archaeological resources, and (2) the appropriate mitigation for any significant resources which may be impacted by project development. The following steps would help determine the presence or absence of archaeological resources.
Step 1: An archaeologist shall conduct records and background research at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC) for a list of recorded resources and request a sacred lands file search from the Native American Heritage Commission.
Step 2: After review of this data, a pedestrian survey shall be conducted by a qualified archaeologist.
Step 3: If through the research and the field survey, archaeological resources are identified, then an evaluation of significance shall be completed by a qualified archaeologist. The evaluation program generally will include excavation to determine depth, extent, integrity, and content of the subsurface cultural material.
Step 4: The results of the excavation will be evaluated using the Thresholds above in Section 4.5.4.
Step 5: If an archaeological resource is determined significant and avoidance through project redesign is not feasible, a data recovery and construction monitoring program must be implemented to reduce the impacts the archaeological resource to below a significant level. The data recovery program must be approved by the City.
Step 6: A final data recovery and/monitoring report shall be completed in accordance with the California Office of Historic Preservation’s Archaeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Content and Format. Confidential attachments must be submitted under separate covers. Artifacts collected during the evaluation and data recovery phases must be curated at an appropriate facility consistent with state (California State Historic Resources Commission’s Environmental Impact Analysis

5.6.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR determined that impacts to energy would be less than significant. Specifically, the 2024 RFEIR confirmed that impacts to energy consumption would be less than significant as there are no unusual characteristics that would necessitate the use of construction equipment that would be less energy efficient than at comparable construction sites in the region or State. Therefore, it is expected that construction fuel consumption associated with implementation of the Project would not be any more inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary than other similar projects of this nature. Therefore, impacts to energy resources associated with the future developments’ construction activities would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. Future development projects under implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would permanently increase the operational energy demand when compared to existing conditions; however, impacts to energy consumption during Project operations would be less than significant.
Buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in increased consumption of energy; however future development would be required to at minimum to meet the mandatory energy requirements of CALGreen and the California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6 of the CCR) in effect at the time of development, and would benefit from the efficiencies associated with these regulations as they relate to building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) mechanical systems, water heating systems, and lighting.
Additionally, the 2024 CAP includes a number of GHG reduction goals related to energy use and energy conservation. Therefore, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not create a land use pattern that would result in a wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary use of building-related energy, and impacts would be less than significant.
Future development would be required at a minimum to meet the mandatory energy requirements of CALGreen and the California Energy Code in effect at the time of development. Therefore, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of CALGreen and California Energy Code, or with Southern California Edison’s (SCE) and Moreno Valley Electric Utility’s Environmental Impact Analysis

5.6.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation, and
Threshold (b) Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency?
No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts related to energy to be less than significant. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways, which would increase energy consumption. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to energy use and energy conservation. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215 and prioritizing access to industrial areas. Therefore, the Project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy during Project operations.
As previously discussed, the Project would result in a net increase in Citywide Truck VMT by approximately
2.8 percent. Assuming similar vehicle fleet characteristics and operating conditions, the increase in VMT would be expected to result in a corresponding increase in fuel consumption. Therefore, the Project change would marginally increase regional fuel use; however, this increase would be negligible in magnitude and would not result in new or more severe impacts.
Additionally, the Project revises existing actions in the City’s Circulation Element, further defining actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided, consistent with the Logistics Use Facilities Mitigation Measure Ordinance. Therefore, the Project would not result in site specific development or wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources and would not conflict with a state or local plan for renewable energy.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to Environmental Impact Analysis

5.7.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in less than significant impacts to seismic ground shaking and seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction, substantial soil erosion, or the loss of topsoil, on-site or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse, and expansive soils. The 2024 RFEIR concluded that impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant with implementation of MM PAL-1.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
MM PAL-1: Applications for future development, wherein the Community Development Director or his or her designee has determined a potential for impacts to paleontological resources, shall review the underlying geology and paleontological sensitivity of the site. If it is determined that the potential exists that sensitive paleontological resources are present, the applicant shall be required to comply with the following mitigation framework.
A qualified paleontological monitor shall be present during grading in project areas where a project specific geological technical study has determined that such monitoring is necessary due to the potential for paleontological resources to reside within the underlying geologic formations.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 56 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts to geological hazards, including seismic hazards and unstable geology, expansive soils, and soil erosion to be less than significant. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies specific to geology and soils. As such, the Project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rapture of a known earthquake fault, strong seismic ground shaking, seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction or landslides. In addition, the Project would not result in substantial soil erosion. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on geological hazards, including seismic hazards and unstable geology, expansive soils, and soil erosion, such impacts would be less than significant.
Applicable Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
No mitigation measures are required.
Threshold (e) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts related to paleontological resources to be potentially significant. However, implementation of MM PAL-1 would reduce impacts to paleontological resources and unique geology to less than significant levels. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications. Specifically, the Project proposes to revise the City’s truck routes and policies and actions to the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies specific to unique paleontological resources. As such, the Project would not directly or indirectly cause impacts to unique paleontological resources.

5.8.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR determined that the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project is on track to meet SB 32 (40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030) but not on track to meet AB 1279 (net neutrality by 2045) target goals for 2030 or 2045. Therefore, GHG emissions would be less than significant with implementation of MM GHG-1 and MM GHG-2. According to the 2024 RFEIR, the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not be consistent with applicable plans, policies, and regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions such as AB 1279 and CARB 2022 Scoping Plan. The 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would however be consistent with SB
32. Therefore, consistency with applicable GHG plans is potentially significant with implementation of MM GHG-1 and MM GHG-2, and impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR

Specifically, the City shall:
a) Monitor continuously and report annually on CAP implementation activities. The annual monitoring report shall include the implementation status of each Action and Measure b) Calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions annually and monitor progress towards achieving the performance targets of each Action and Measure c) Update the community-wide GHG emissions inventories and targets aligned with SB 32 and AB 1279 every two to three years, in alignment with the five-year cycle specified below

5.8.1 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
According to the 2024 RFEIR, future development associated with the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project is expected to result in increased GHG emissions, largely due to increased VMT, as well as stationary area sources, energy consumption, water supply, and solid waste generation. The 2024 RFEIR concludes that the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project is on track to meet SB 32 (40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030) but not on track to meet AB 1279 (net neutrality by 2045) target goals for 2030 or 2045. Therefore, impacts on GHG emissions would be potentially significant. With implementation of MM GHG-1 and MM GHG-2, similar to the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, impacts would be reduced to less than significant.
The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways, which would significantly increase GHG emissions. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415.

Additionally, as previously discussed, the Project would result in a net increase in Citywide Truck VMT by approximately 2.8 percent. Because GHG emissions from on-road vehicles are generally correlated with the amount of vehicle travel, the increase in VMT would result in a corresponding increase in transportation-related GHG emissions. Therefore, the project change would be expected to cause a minor increase in GHG emissions as vehicles travel a greater total distance. However, this increase would be negligible in magnitude and would not result in new or more severe impacts.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.

In summary, the 2024 RFEIR concluded that implementation of 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not result in significant impacts relative to hazardous materials. There would be less than significant impacts to routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials and release of hazardous materials, as future development would be required to adhere to federal, state, county, and local regulations relating to the use, storage, handling, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials and contamination would reduce the potential risk of hazardous materials exposure to a less than significant level. Additionally, adherence with applicable federal, state, regional, and local plans and regulations, as well as 2024 GPU policies, would ensure that future development would not result in an accidental release of hazardous materials or emissions of hazardous substance near existing or proposed schools, and impacts would be less than significant. Adherence to applicable clean-up and/or remediation requirements and regulations would ensure that future development under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not create a significant hazard associated with known hazardous materials sites, and impacts would be less than significant.
Furthermore, adherence to applicable federal, state, regional, and local plans and regulations as well as the 2024 GPU policies would ensure that impacts to airport hazards, emergency response, and wildfires would be less than significant.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 64 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report No New or More Severe Significant Impact: According to the 2024 RFEIR, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in less than significant impacts regarding hazards and hazardous materials. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways or roadway classifications.
Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to hazards and hazardous materials. Furthermore, site included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 are associated with specific development properties; there are no public rights-of-way identified on the Cortese list.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on hazards or hazardous materials, such impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
No mitigation measures are required.
5.9.3 Conclusion
Since the Project would not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials than those disclosed in the 2024 RFEIR for the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, no new or revised mitigation is required. There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known at the time the 2024 RFEIR was prepared. Finally, there are no changes to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that would result in more significant hazard and hazardous materials impacts than were previously analyzed.

5.10.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
In summary, the 2024 RFEIR concluded that impacts regarding hydrology and water quality would be less than significant. The 2024 RFEIR determined that future developments would be required to adhere to applicable rules, relevant plans and programs. Pursuant to the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB-SAR) and Municipal Code requirements would ensure that future development would not violate water quality standards or degrade surface or ground water quality, and construction-related impacts. Additionally, pursuant to Moreno Valley Municipal Code Chapter 8.10, future development would be required to implement a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and demonstrate compliance with the City’s MS4 Permit and to minimize the release of potential waterborne pollutants. Future developments would be required to adhere to the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project Open Space and Resource Conservation (OSRC) Element, which includes the goal to minimize water pollution and policies. Therefore, adherence to relevant plans would ensure that future development would not violate any water quality standards or degrade surface or ground water quality, and operational impacts would be less than significant.
The 2024 RFEIR determined that adherence to applicable 2024 GPU policies would ensure that future development would not deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge, result in substantial erosion or siltation, increase surface runoff, and exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems. Future development would also be required to adhere to regional and local plans, programs, and regulations relating to storm water runoff and volume flow. and impacts would be less than significant. Furthermore, the 2024 RFEIR determined that future development would not result in risks associated with flooding and would be less than significant.
Therefore, the 2024 RFEIR determined that the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not result in significant impacts relative to hydrology and water quality, and no mitigation is necessary to reduce potential impacts.

Since the Project will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts related to land use and planning than those disclosed in the 2024 RFEIR for the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, no new or revised mitigation is required. There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known at the time the 2024 RFEIR was prepared. Finally, there are no changes to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that would result in more significant land use and planning impacts than were previously analyzed. No further environmental evaluation is required.

5.12.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR stated that implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would focus future development and redevelopment within Concept Areas, areas largely within or surrounded by existing urbanization, which would make them infeasible for mining. As identified within the 2024 RFEIR, the majority of the land within the Planning Area is designated as MRZ-3, land for which the significance of mineral resources cannot be determined, or MRZ-1, land for which adequate geologic information indicates that no significant deposits are present. As there are no mineral resource extractions within the Planning Area, the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not result in the loss of a designated mineral recovery site. Therefore, the implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not result in the loss of availability of regionally valuable mineral resources and impacts would be less than significant. No impacts would occur in regard to mineral resource recovery sites.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 71 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts to mineral resources to be less than significant in respect to the loss of available known mineral resources and found no impact regarding the loss of a designated mineral recovery site. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to mineral resources. Project implementation would result in less than significant impacts in regards to the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State and no impacts to mineral resource recovery sites.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Since Project implementation will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on mineral resources, such impacts would be less than significant.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 73 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report would be to existing homes and other noise-sensitive uses in an already urbanized area, there is no feasible mitigation. Therefore, impacts to existing sensitive land uses would remain significant and unavoidable. The 2024 RFEIR concluded that railroad noise and stationary noise would be less than significant. Impacts related to construction noise would be significant and unavoidable with implementation of MM NOS-1.
In regard to vibration, impacts related to construction vibration would be potentially significant, and implementation of MM NOS-2 would be applied to future development to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Additionally, there would be less than significant impacts to railroad sources, stationary sources, and airports, and no mitigation would be required.
Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
MM NOS-1: The Director of Community Development or his or her designee shall require applicants to demonstrate whether the project has the potential to exceed noise standards contained in Sections 8.14.040 and 11.80.030 of the Municipal Code. If a project may exceed standards or is located adjacent to sensitive receptors, the City shall require the applicant to prepare a Noise Analysis that estimates construction noise and identifies noise reduction measures that would ensure compliance with Municipal Code standards.
Construction plans submitted to the City shall identify applicable measures on demolition, grading, and construction plans submitted to the City. Noise reduction measures can include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Demolition, construction, site preparation, and related activities that would generate noise perceptible at the property line of the subject property are limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. from Monday through Friday excluding holidays and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The building inspector may issue an exception to this limitation on hours in cases of urgent necessity where the public health and safety will not be substantially impaired.
2. Idling times for noise-generating equipment used in demolition, construction, site preparation, and related activities shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes.
3. Demolition, construction, site preparation, and related activities within 70 feet from the edge of properties with existing, occupied noise-sensitive uses shall incorporate all feasible strategies to reduce noise exposure for noise-sensitive uses, including:
a.Provide written notice to all known occupied noise-sensitive uses within 400 feet of the edge of the project site boundary at least 2 weeks prior to the start of each construction phase of the construction schedule; b.Ensure that construction equipment is properly maintained and equipped with noise control components, such as mufflers, in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications;

No New or More Severe Impact:
As discussed above, the 2024 RFEIR found impacts related to ambient noise levels and vibration to be less than significant for railroad, stationary noise, and airports and significant and unavoidable for traffic and construction noise. According to the Project-specific traffic noise assessment prepared for the Project (see Appendix C: Traffic Noise Assessment), noise impacts for the Project were determined by comparing the change in noise levels between the buildout of the 2024 GPU with no change to the truck routes (Without Project) and the proposed truck route modifications as discussed in this addendum (With Project). As indicated in Table 1 and Table 2 of Appendix C, the largest increase in Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) calculated at 50 feet from the center of the roadway center would be 1.0 CNEL along Gilman Springs Road south of Alessandro Boulevard. The largest decrease in CNEL calculated at 50 feet would be
2.4 CNEL along Iris Avenue, between Perris Boulevard and Kitching Street. Based on the methodology and assumptions, the analysis provides a roadway-specific assessment of how the City’s proposed truck prohibitions on internal streets affect traffic noise along segments with potentially significant traffic noise increases. As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the With Project scenario would not increase traffic noise by more than 1.0 dBA along any roadway or freeway segment analyzed. Additionally, many roadway segments would have reduced traffic noise levels as compared to the 2024 GPU analysis, as a result of the Project (truck route circulation update). Therefore, because the human ear doesn’t hear a noise increase of less than 3 dBA, the increase in traffic noise would not be perceptible.
The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to noise. Furthermore, the Project would remain consistent with the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project policies to minimize the potential noise sources and impacts generated by vehicular traffic on existing roadways. Policies include considering the compatibility of proposed land uses with the noise environment, requiring mitigation where sensitive uses are to be placed along transportation routes to ensure that noise levels are minimized, encouraging the proper site planning and architecture to reduce noise impacts, and employing noise mitigation practices when designing future streets and highways.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

Finally, there are no changes to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that would result in more significant noise impacts than were previously analyzed. No further environmental evaluation is required.

5.14.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
According to the 2024 RFEIR, implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project could result in the development of 22,052 new homes and an additional 38,915 employees within the 2024 GPU Planning Area. The 2024 MoVal 2040 Project had been designed to primarily focus future development and redevelopment within Concept Areas that consist of vacant or underutilized land along major transit corridors. Future development outside of the Concept Areas would occur in areas that are already served by infrastructure and would not require extensions into unserved portions of the Planning Area. Overall, the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would exceed the State’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements, would reduce future population and household growth compared to 2040 Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) projections, and would locate future infrastructure along major transit corridors that are already served. Future redevelopment within the Concept Areas would exceed the City’s RHNA allocation and would provide additional housing that would accommodate residents that could be displayed by future development projects and ensure no net loss of housing.
Therefore, the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not induce unplanned population growth and the displacement of housing and people associated with the project would not exceed the amount of housing that would be constructed under the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

5.14.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
Threshold (b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts related to population and housing to be less than significant. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to population and housing. The 2024 GPU policies and actions would reduce impacts associated with increased population and housing within the City and would not result in any direct or indirect displacement of existing people or housing necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The proposed revisions to the City’s truck routes and Circulation Element would not conflict with implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project, and impacts would be less than significant.
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
Project implementation would not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts that could have a substantial adverse effect on population and housing. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Applicable Mitigation Measures from the 2024 RFEIR
No mitigation measures are required.
5.14.3 Conclusion
Sine the Project will not result in any new or substantially more significant impacts related to population and housing than those disclosed in the 2024 RFEIR, no new or revised mitigation is required. There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known at the Environmental Impact Analysis

Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to public services and recreation. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215, prioritizing access to industrial areas.
The proposed revisions to the City’s truck routes and Circulation Element would not conflict with implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and would not result in an increase in population or housing that would lead to an increased need in public services. Additionally, the Project revises existing actions in the City’s Circulation Element, further defining actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided and reflecting the City’s approval of the Logistics Facilities Mitigation Measure Ordinance.
Therefore, the Project would not result in an increase in population which would result in the need for new or physically altered fire protection, police protection, schools, parks and recreational facilities, or other public facilities.

5.16.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR determined that the Project would not conflict with a plan, ordinance, or policy addressing transit circulation, and impacts would be less than significant. Regarding VMT, the 2024 RFEIR determined that impacts would be significant and unavoidable, as implementation of the 2024 GPU would exceed thresholds of significance related to VMT, resulting in an increase in total VMT and VMT per Service Population. As a result of some metrics that exceeded the significance criteria based on certain analysis methodologies, impacts would be significant. The 2024 GPU includes transportation demand management (TDM) goals, policies, and actions that would support VMT reductions; however, anticipated VMT reductions associated with proposed TDM measures would not be large enough to guarantee that significant impacts could be fully mitigated. Therefore, projected VMT generated under buildout of the 2024 GPU would be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), and impacts would be significant and unavoidable.
The 2024 MoVal 2040 Project includes policies and actions that would ensure future transportation facilities would not introduce hazards onto the circulation network, and future development and redevelopment would also be designed consistent with all safety requirements pertaining to ingress and egress onto the circulation network. Therefore, the Project would not substantially increase hazards, and impacts would be less than significant.

5.16.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
Threshold (a) Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Threshold (b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)?
Threshold (c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
Threshold (d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts to the circulation system, hazards due to geometric design, and emergency access to be less than significant and VMT impacts to be significant and unavoidable.
The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways, or conflict with a program, plan, or policy addressing the circulation system, substantially increase hazards due to geometric design features, or result in inadequate emergency access. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215, prioritizing access to industrial areas.
The proposed revisions to the City’s truck routes and Circulation Element would not conflict with implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Additionally, the Project revises existing actions in the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project Circulation Element, further defining actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided and reflecting the City’s approval of the Logistics Facilities Mitigation Measure Ordinance.
Therefore, the Project would not result in any conflicts with a program, plan, or ordinance addressing the circulation system, increase hazards, or result in inadequate emergency access.
The Project would result in a minor increase in Truck VMT. 4 As discussed in Appendix D: Vehicle Miles
Traveled Analysis, the latest version of the Riverside County Travel Demand Model (RIVCOM) (Version
4.0.1) was utilized to model isolated truck trips for the five truck route scenarios selected for this analysis.
As part of the analysis, RIVCOM 2040 Horizon General Plan scenario was used to determine all truck origins-destinations (OD) trips used by the current designated routes (No Project Scenario) using the 4 While the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR), now known as the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, guidance does not characterize truck trips as “automobiles” subject to VMT analysis under CEQA. As such, the VMT analysis for truck contained in this addendum is provided for informational purposes. Refer to the OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA, dated December 2018, for more information.

The 2024 RFEIR found impacts to the circulation system, hazards due to geometric design, and emergency access to be less than significant and VMT impacts to be significant and unavoidable.
The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways, or conflict with a program, plan, or policy addressing the circulation system, substantially increase hazards due to geometric design features, or result in inadequate emergency access. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and 1-215, prioritizing access to industrial areas.
The proposed revisions to the City’s truck routes and Circulation Element would not conflict with implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project. Additionally, the Project revises existing actions in the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project Circulation Element, further defining actions when sensitive receptors cannot be avoided and reflecting the City’s approval of the Logistics Facilities Mitigation Measure Ordinance.
Therefore, the Project would not result in any conflicts with a program, plan, or ordinance addressing the circulation system, increase hazards, or result in inadequate emergency access.
The Project would result in a minor increase in Truck VMT.* As discussed in Appendix D: Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis, the latest version of the Riverside County Travel Demand Model (RIVCOM) {Version
4.0.1) was utilized to model isolated truck trips for the five truck route scenarios selected for this analysis.
As part of the analysis, RIVCOM 2040 Horizon General Plan scenario was used to determine all truck origins-destinations (OD) trips used by the current designated routes (No Project Scenario} using the 4 While the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR), now known as the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, guidance does not characterize truck trips as “automobiles” subject to VMT analysis under CEQA.As such, the VMT analysis for truck contained in this addendum is provided for informational purposes. Refer to the OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA,dated December 2018, for more information.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 85 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report select-link analysis conducted for each study route. The OD trips were then isolated for the analysis. A With Project Scenario model network was prepared by applying truck route modifications to internal Citywide streets as directed by the City (truck-restricted links coded to prohibit truck assignment). The route-specific truck OD trip matrix developed earlier through select-link analysis was assigned to the modified network. The resulting daily truck traffic volumes by link were extracted from the model outputs.
Total daily Truck VMT was computed for all the study area links included in the studied routes and route choices for both the With Project and No Project Scenarios. Table 2: Change in 2040 Daily Truck VMT on Selected Routes & Truck Trip Origins summarizes the isolated Truck VMT results for the studied routes included in the analysis. As shown in the table, the proposed truck route modifications will result in an increase in 2040 daily Truck VMT from the truck trip origins and truck routes subject to the proposed route modifications that were selected for this analysis. Local serving truck trips were not accounted for as they would continue to use local routes to serve commercial uses and Truck VMT on these routes would remain the same and would not be affected and are therefore not included in this analysis.

This increase in Truck VMT for the selected studied routes and trip origins was then applied to the Citywide total Truck VMT to determine the net change in overall Citywide Truck VMT. Table 3: Net Change in Total Citywide Daily Truck VMT summarizes the Truck VMT results for base year and horizon year conditions.
The base year Truck VMT estimates were derived by applying the proportional change in total Citywide Truck VMT estimates between base year and future year Truck VMT results derived as part of the 2024 General Plan Update. As shown in the table, the proposed truck route modifications are expected to result in a net increase in Citywide Truck VMT by approximately 2.8 percent, which is not considered substantial.
Therefore, VMT impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.

5.17.1 Summary of Previous Environmental Analysis
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that implementation of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would result in less than significant impacts relative to utilities and service systems. As described in the 2024 RFEIR, buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would generate an increase of approximately 43,882 people, 22,052 new homes, 38,915 jobs by 2040, which would necessitate construction of future water supply infrastructure.

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 88 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report environment, reducing impacts associated with the relocation or construction of new or expanded water and wastewater facilities to less than significant.
The 2024 RFEIR concluded that buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not exceed forecasted water demand projections for the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), because it would reduce future population and household growth compared to 2040 SCAG projections. Similarly, the project is not expected to exceed forecasted water demand projections for the Box Spring Mutual Water Company (BSMWC), because it would reduce future population and household growth compared to SCAG projections. Therefore, buildout of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would have sufficient water supplies available to serve the development from the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years, and impacts would be less than significant.
Additionally, the 2024 RFEIR determined that the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards or more than the capacity of local infrastructure. As described in Section 4.17.2.4.d of the 2024 RFEIR, the City’s Building Code requires development projects to complete and submit a Waste Management and Recycling Plan for approval prior to issuance of building permits. Therefore, the project would not generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, exceed the capacity of local infrastructure, or conflict with federal, state, or local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste, and impacts would be less than significant.
Therefore, impacts regarding utilities and service systems would be less than significant.

5.18.2 Analysis of Proposed Project
If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project:
Threshold (a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Threshold (b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
Threshold (c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Threshold (d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes?
No New or More Severe Significant Impact:
The 2024 RFEIR found impacts related to wildfires to be less than significant. The Project does not propose site-specific development and would not result in any modifications to existing land use designations or modify any existing roadways. Specifically, the Project proposes revising the City’s truck routes and the policies and actions of the Circulation Element to align with AB 98 and SB 415. The Project would not modify any General Plan policies or programs specific to safety or wildfires. The Project proposes to reassign truck activity on local streets and near sensitive receptors, shifting freight movement to the regional corridors such as SR 60 and I-215, prioritizing access to industrial areas. The Project would not result in site-specific development within a high fire hazard severity zone since the Project would be located within the existing public right-of-way and there would be no construction on existing roads, other than the future development of several interior streets in the World Logistics Center Project, which were approved for truck travel under previously approved land use entitlements on land that remains zoned for industrial and business park uses and analyzed in the context of World Logistics Center Revised Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2012021045).
Additionally, no aspect of the Project triggers any of the following conditions from CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 relating to this issue:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; Environmental Impact Analysis

Supporting MoVal 2040 Circulation Element Update, Truck Route Ordinance, and Truck Routes Map Project 94 Addendum No. 2 to the Revised Final Program Environmental Impact Report consistent with the impacts disclosed in the 2024 RFEIR. The truck route modifications would not change the total number of truck trips overall but rather reroute these trips along different roadway segments.
The shifting of truck trips would decrease exposure to criteria air pollutants, odor-causing pollutants, roadway noise, and incremental carcinogenic risk for the majority of sensitive receptors. A few receptors areas may have slightly increased exposure and incremental higher carcinogenic risk; however, such carcinogenic risk would remain below SCAQMD incremental thresholds. The minor increase in greenhouse gas emissions from the minor increase in Truck VMT is not substantial as it would be negligible in magnitude and would not result in new or more severe impacts. Odor and roadway noise impacts would remain less than significant. Implementation of the Project within the context of the 2024 MoVal 2040 Project would not substantially increase the severity of previously identified impacts. (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or No new feasible mitigation measures or alternatives were identified. (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
No new or different mitigation measures or feasible alternatives have been identified to substantially reduce significant impacts.
(b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under subsection (a). Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation.
After certification of the 2024 RFEIR in April 2026, additional technical analyses were performed for the Project and are the subject of this Addendum. Based on the analysis in this document, the Project would not result in any new significant environmental effects, nor would it substantially increase the severity of significant effects previously identified in the 2024 RFEIR. None of the conditions listed under subsection (a) would occur that would require preparation of a SEIR. (c) Once a project has been approved, the lead agency’s role in project approval is completed, unless further discretionary approval on that project is required. Information appearing after an approval does not require reopening of that approval. If after the project is approved, any of the conditions described in subsection (a) occurs, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall only be prepared by the public agency which grants the next discretionary approval for the project, if any. In this situation, no other Responsible Agency shall grant an approval for the project until the subsequent EIR has been certified or subsequent negative declaration adopted.
None of the conditions listed in subsection (a) would occur as a result of the Project. No SEIR is required.

4.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) be adopted upon certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR; including associated Findings), to ensure that the associated mitigation measures are implemented. Table 4-1, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, identifies the mitigation measures and specifies the entity (or entities) responsible for monitoring and reporting. Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21081.6, an MMRP is only required for impacts identified as significant or potentially significant in the EIR analysis. The environmental analysis resulted in the identification of a programmatic mitigation framework, which would reduce potentially significant impacts, but not to below a level of significance for all the environmental topics. Programmatic mitigation measures have been identified for air quality, biological resources, cultural and Tribal cultural resources, geology/soils, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise.
In response to the aforementioned settlement negotiations between the City of Moreno Valley and the State of California Office of the Attorney General (AGO), which concluded in April 2026, related to various air quality mitigation measures the AGO opined were necessary to ensure compliance with the Statement of Decision, embodied in the Judgment and Writ issued on May 6, 2024, in Sierra Club v. The City of Moreno Valley, Case No. CVRI2103300 (CEQA Case), this MMRP was revised to memorialize the negotiated mitigation measures as enhancements to Mitigation Measure (MM) AQ-5. However, since the negotiated mitigation measures added to MM AQ-5 will not result in any new significant impacts than identified in the Revised Final EIR (September 2025), and since they will not create any new or more severe impacts, the revisions do not necessitate recirculation. These enhancements and minor editorial revisions are demonstrated in red underline.

4.3 Air Quality
AQ-1: Proposed development projects that are not exempt from CEQA shall have construction and operational air quality impacts analyzed using the latest available air emissions model, or other analytical method determined in conjunction with the SCAQMD. The results of the air quality impact analysis shall be included in the development project’s CEQA documentation. To address potential localized impacts, the air quality analysis shall incorporate SCAQMD’s Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis or other appropriate analyses as determined in conjunction with the SCAQMD. If such analyses identify potentially significant regional or local air quality impacts, the City shall require the incorporation of appropriate mitigation to reduce such impacts to the greatest extent feasible.
Technical analysis required
prior to project approval.

AQ-2: Applicants for future discretionary development projects which will generate construction-related fugitive dust emissions that exceed applicable thresholds shall include, but are not limited to, the mitigation measures recommended by SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook, to the extent technically and logistically feasible and applicable. The measures shall be included as notes on the grading and/or demolition plans:
• The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation operations shall be minimized to prevent excess amounts of dust.
• Pre-grading/excavation activities shall include watering the area to be graded or excavated before commencement of grading or excavation operations. Application of watering (preferably reclaimed water, if available) should penetrate sufficiently to minimize fugitive dust during grading activities. This measure can achieve PM10 reductions of 61 percent through application of water every three hours to disturbed areas.
• Fugitive dust produced during grading, excavation, and construction activities shall be controlled by the following activities:

The results of the air quality impact analysis shall be included in the development project's CEQA documentation. To address potential localized impacts, the air quality analysis shall incorporate SCAQMD’s Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis or other appropriate analyses as determined in conjunction with the SCAQMD. If such analyses identify potentially significant regional or local air quality impacts, the City shall require the incorporation of appropriate mitigation to reduce such impacts to the greatest extent feasible.
AQ-2: Applicants for future discretionary development projects which will | Technical analysis required | City generate construction-related fugitive dust emissions that exceed | prior to project approval applicable thresholds shall include, but are not limited to, the mitigation measures recommended by SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook, to the extent technically and logistically feasible and applicable. The measures shall be included as notes on the grading and/or demolition plans:
e The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation operations shall be minimized to prevent excess amounts of dust. e Pre-grading/excavation activities shall include watering the area to be graded or excavated before commencement of grading or excavation operations. Application of watering (preferably reclaimed water, if available) should penetrate sufficiently to minimize fugitive dust during grading activities. This measure can achieve PM10 reductions of 61 percent through application of water every three hours to disturbed areas.
eo Fugitive dust produced during grading, excavation, and construction activities shall be controlled by the following activities:
