BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

MEETING DATE: September 29, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration to Adopt Resolution Number (next in order) and Introduce and Conduct the First Reading by Title Only of Ordinance Number (next in order) regarding Planned Development (PD) Overlay Zone 22-05152, Tentative Tract Map 22-05153 (TTM 37907), Development Plan Review 22-00014 – A proposal to consider a gated residential development on 13.61 gross acres, located north of Metz Road between McKimball Road and “A” Street. Applicant: Anthony Arnest of Pacific Communities.

REQUESTED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. (next in order) adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2398 and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and approve Tentative Tract Map 22-05153 (TTM 37907), and Development Plan Review 22-00014 to facilitate the construction of a gated 91-detached single-family residential development on 13.61 gross acres, based on the findings contained herein and subject to the Conditions of Approval; and
Introduce the First Reading of Ordinance No. (next in order) approving Planned Development Overlay Zone 22-05152 to allow flexibility from the R-6,000 Single Family Residential development standards for the construction of a gated 91-detached single-family residential development on 13.61 gross acres, based on the findings contained herein and subject to the Conditions of Approval.

CONTACT: Kenneth Phung, Director of Development Services On September 2, 2026, the Planning Commission voted 4–0-1 (Hammond, Abstained) to recommend approval to the City Council of the proposed Pacific Lantana project consisting of 91 detached singlefamily residences with amenities consisting of a clubhouse, a swimming pool and spa, a children’s play area/tot-lot, a half basketball court, a picnic pavilion with BBQ, and a dog park on 13.61 gross acres (12.8 net acres), located north of Metz Road between McKimball Road and “A” Street requiring the following entitlements: 1) Planned Development Overlay to allow flexibility from the R-6,000 Single .
464
Family Residential development standards; 2) Tentative Tract Map to subdivide 13.61 gross acres into 91 residential lots; and 4) Development Plan Review for review of the site plan and building elevations.

The Planning Commission (PC) supported the project subject to modification to the conditions of approval including the following: 1) additional dog waste stations, separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, and a shade structure within the dog park; 2) use of “Day Spa” as an accent color rather than the primary color for the Modern Farmhouse architecture; 3) additional landscaping and site design enhancements, including evergreen trees, an enhanced entry roundabout, replacement of palm trees around the clubhouse and pool deck, and natural grass within the dog park; and 4) enhancements to the project entry monument sign, including complementary materials, individual lettering, architectural detailing, layered landscaping, and integrated low-profile lighting.

Public Comment:

No public comments were received during the Planning Commission meeting; however, prior to the meeting, staff received an email from an adjacent resident opposing the Planned Development Overlay Zone and requesting single-story homes as a buffer between the proposed development and existing homes to the north, as well as a perimeter walking path (Attachment 10).

In response to the concerns raised in the email, the project provides 20- to 25-foot rear-yard setbacks along the site perimeter, consistent with the R-6,000 Zone's minimum setback requirement of 20 feet.

Additionally, the applicant has agreed to plant two (2) evergreen trees within the rear yard of each lot that adjoins an existing home to the north of the site to provide additional privacy. While the commenter requested a single-story buffer, the R-6,000 Zone permits two-story residences, and three (3) of the nine (9) existing homes bordering the site to the north are two-story; therefore, the proposed building heights comply with applicable zoning regulations. The project also provides pedestrian connectivity through internal walkways and sidewalks along all street frontages, making an additional perimeter walking path unnecessary.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Planned Development Overlay (PDO) Zone and Residential Development The project proposes to rezone 13.61 gross acres (12.8 net acres) from the Residential R-6,000 Zone to the Residential R-6,000 Planned Development Overlay (PDO) Zone. The purpose of the PDO is to allow flexibility with the development and lot standards to facilitate implementation of the proposed 91- unit single-family residential development with lots ranging from 3,769 to 6,713 square feet. The PDO also includes provisions to calculate the project's density using gross acreage methodology instead of the net acreage used by the General Plan, resulting in a density of 6.69 dwelling units per gross acre.

This density is within the 4 to 7 dwelling units per acre range established for the R-6,000 Zone.

Therefore, the proposed 91-unit development is consistent with the applicable density standards. The proposed residential units range from 2,166 to 2,577 square feet and include an attached two-car garage, a maximum of five bedrooms, and, in some units, the option to convert the ground-level bedroom into a junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU), three full bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a front 465
porch. Additionally, the proposal includes 90 parking spaces for guests throughout the development and adjacent to the clubhouse.

Project Amenities
Amenities include 29,461 square feet of recreation area, including a 2,020-square-foot single-story clubhouse/sales office, an activity lawn, a swimming pool and spa, a children’s play area/tot-lot, a half basketball court, a picnic pavilion with BBQ, and a dog park.

Circulation and Access
Primary access to the site will be provided from “A” Street, with secondary access from McKimball Road for egress and fire access only. Both access points will feature stamped concrete, while the primary entrance will include a raised, landscaped center median. A private gated main-loop road and two (2) interior streets will provide access to each lot within the subdivision. The roadway system will include curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, along with traffic-calming measures such as choked intersections, bulb-out street corners, and 90 on-street visitor parking spaces. The project site will be secured by a 6- foot-high perimeter block wall with pilasters and automatic gates.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

An Initial Study was prepared for the project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which concluded that all potential significant environmental effects could be reduced to less than significant levels with mitigation measures. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (NOI) was published with a 30-day public review period starting on May 22, 2026, and ending on June 22, 2026. The NOI was also posted on the City's website and at City Hall and sent to public agencies and property owners within a 300-foot radius of the Project site. During the 30-day comment period, the City received five (5) comment letters regarding this project (Attachment 9):

1. March Inland Port Airport Authority – Noted minor typographical errors, which have been corrected in the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration, and noted that the project should be reviewed by ALUC. ALUC reviewed the project on August 11, 2026, and determined it to be conditionally consistent with the Airport Plan.

2. Riverside County Flood Control District and Water Conservation District (First and Second Letters) - Both letters are generally informational. As requested in the letter, the Applicant will enter a cooperative agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) regarding the proposed project-related Master Drainage Plan facilities and obtain an encroachment permit for any construction-related activities within District right-of-way and/or facilities. Riverside County Transit Agency – Provided an acknowledgment of their review of the IS/MND and had no comments.

3. United States Fish and Wildlife Service – Provided information that a burrowing owl protocol survey is required even if construction during the breeding season is avoided. In response, the mitigation measures have been revised to include the survey protocols. 466
BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT:

None of the letters raised environmental concerns not already addressed in the IS/MND. Responses to comments have been included in the Final MND as Appendix “H” (Attachment 10).

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:

A Notice of Public Hearing for the City Council meeting was published in the local newspaper and sent to agencies and property owners within 300 feet of the project site (Attachment 11). As of the writing of the staff report, staff has not received additional comments regarding this project.

RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution Number (next in order), adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2398 and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approving Planned Development Overlay Zone 22-05152, Tentative Tract Map 22-05153 (TTM 37907) and Development Plan Review 22-00014 to facilitate the construction of a gated 91 detached single-family residential development on 13.61 gross acres (12.8 net acres), located north of Metz Road between McKimball Road and “A” Street, based on the findings contained in the Resolution and subject to the Conditions of Approval.

There is no fiscal impact associated with this project since all project costs are borne by the applicant.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

MEETING DATE: October 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve a Lease Agreement for property located at 129 East 10th Street, APN 313-272-005 between the City of Perris and Edgar and Stephanie Arredondo.

REQUESTED ACTION: That the City Council 1) Approve a Lease Agreement between the City of Perris and Edgar and Stephanie Arredondo, for the property located at 129 East 10th Street, APN 313-272-005; and 2) Authorize the City Manager or her designee to finalize and execute the Agreement, subject to City Attorney approval as to form.

CONTACT: Benigno Sandoval - Economic Development Director Property & Tenancy Overview: The City of Perris owns the single-family home with an attached garage located at 129 East 10th Street (APN 313-272-005). The home was constructed in August 2020 utilizing grant funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) and remains under City of Perris ownership.

Housing Division Staff conducted a lottery on September 14, 2020, to randomly select a tenant, and the City Council approved the initial Lease Agreement on September 29, 2020, for a one-year term commencing October 1, 2020.

Lease Renewal Request: The tenant has remained in good standing with the City of Perris, with all monthly rent payments submitted early or on time. The tenant has formally expressed their desire to continue occupying the home to support ongoing housing stability. The City Council has approved subsequent annual renewals with the existing tenants under the same terms. The current Lease Agreement expires September 30, 2026.

Proposed Lease Terms:

Edgar and Stephanie Arredondo: One-year term commencing October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The monthly rent will remain $1,648, calculated using Section 8 Guidelines, or roughly thirty percent (30%) of the household income.

Economic Development Context & Strategic Alignment
468
BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT:

Retaining this tenant supports the City's housing objectives by keeping a HUD-funded, Neighborhood Stabilization Program home in stable, productive residential use.

Continuous, good-standing occupancy protects the City's investment, sustains rent revenue for operational and maintenance costs, and advances the neighborhood stabilization goals the home was built to serve.

Lease Agreement revenue will generate $19,776 to the Housing Authority Budget for ongoing operational and maintenance costs related to the property.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On June 9, 2026, the City Council voted unanimously, 5-0, to direct staff to initiate amendments to the City’s codes to consider a citywide prohibition on data centers. This direction was provided after considering (1) Public testimony from 27 speakers in support of the prohibition; (2) Staff presentation that one City in California outright ban data center citywide, and four cities in California permit them subject to a Conditional Use Permit, CEQA review and additional setback and landscaping requirements (see Attachment 3); and (3) Staff presentation on the high demand for electricity and water consumption, and noise impact associated with a data center, plus the potential as a revenue source and living wage job for data center development.

On September 16, 2026, the Planning Commission voted unanimously, 5-0, to recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 and Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 to prohibit data centers throughout the City of Perris, with amendment to the definition for a Data Center.

This direction was provided after considering:

1. Public testimony from 25 public speakers in support of the proposed prohibition.

2. Large-scale data centers can consume 20–100 MW of continuous electricity, placing significant demands on limited grid capacity and potentially requiring costly infrastructure upgrades. In Perris, this concern is heightened by the City’s proximity to March Air Reserve Base, where maintaining power for critical military operations could take priority during a rolling blackout.

Such outages could leave residents without air conditioning, emergency communications, and other essential services, creating potential safety risks.

3. Data centers can require 200,000 to several million gallons of water daily for cooling, compared with 5,000–50,000 gallons for a similarly sized warehouse and 150–300 gallons for a typical household. This demand can strain water supplies, require costly infrastructure, and reduce flexibility during droughts or shortages, even where recycled water is available. These concerns is greater in Perris due to the area’s hot climate.

4. Data centers operate continuously, with cooling, electrical, and backup systems generating persistent low-frequency noise. Unlike intermittent warehouse activity, this noise can affect nearby residents and sensitive receptors even when modeled levels meet property-line standards.

5. Large-scale data centers can generate substantially more property tax revenue than similarly sized warehouses because their assessed value includes specialized equipment and infrastructure. For example, an 800,000-square-foot Perris warehouse assessed at $187 million could generate approximately $187,000 annually for the City, while a data center assessed at six times that value ($1.122 billion) could generate approximately $1.12 million annually under the same assumptions.

6. Although, data center positions require specialized technical expertise offering higher salary jobs, they typically need between 50 to 100 employees compared to 1,000 of employees associated with a typical industrial use therefore offer less employment opportunities.

In summary, the Planning Commission determined that while data centers may provide property 480
investment, property tax revenue, and living-wage employment, those benefits do not outweigh the City’s responsibility to maintain adequate and reliable services, which would be jeopardized due to infrastructure capacity strains related to electricity and water demand of data centers, and the need for a balanced mix of land uses contemplated by the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans.

RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL WELFARE AND BASIS FOR CITYWIDE

PROHIBITION
The proposed amendments would establish a citywide prohibition on data centers to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare and support the City’s long-term planning objectives to provide a balanced mix of land uses throughout the City. Allowing data centers that are characterized by high, continuous electricity and water demand; continuous mechanical and generator operations; potential requirements for substantial off-site infrastructure; and relatively low employment intensity can place sustained demands on limited utility and public resources and create impacts beyond the project site, including significant environmental impacts associated with the excessive water and electricity usage and noise generation. The proposed amendments provide a way to address these anticipated conditions and avoid these environmental impacts through prospective land-use planning rather than relying solely on site-specific review.

Additionally, although a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement would allow the City to evaluate individual proposals, but imposing project-specific conditions cannot eliminate the underlying utility demands of data centers, ensure that capacity remains available for other planned community needs, or address the cumulative effects of multiple facilities. Similarly, limiting data centers to industrial zones or areas away from sensitive receptors could reduce localized compatibility concerns but would not address systemic demands for electricity, water, infrastructure, or emergency reliability. Allowing smaller data centers would not necessarily avoid these concerns, because electricity and water use can vary depending on facility design, cooling systems, equipment, and potential for future expansion.

Based on these considerations, a citywide prohibition would provide a consistent and predictable approach to addressing the identified concerns before substantial private investment or infrastructure commitments occur. While data centers may provide property investment, tax revenue, and specialized employment, these benefits must be balanced against the City’s responsibility to maintain adequate and reliable services and preserve land and infrastructure capacity for the balanced mix of uses contemplated by the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans. The proposed amendment would therefore protect against development inconsistent with the General Plan and preserve and advance the City’s land use objectives.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The proposed Zone Text Amendment would amend Chapters 19.08 (Definitions), 19.36 (CN Zone),

19.38 (CC Zone), and 19.44 (Industrial Zones) of the Zoning Code (Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code). The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would amend the following Specific Plans: Perris Valley Commerce Center (PVCCSP), Downtown Perris (DPSP), Green Valley (GVSP), Harvest Landing (HLSP), New Perris (NPSP), and Riverglen (RSP). Collectively, these two actions would 481
BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT:
prohibit data centers citywide.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A Notice of Public Hearing for the City Council meeting was published in the local newspaper as an eight-page ad, in compliance with the Zoning Code's notice requirements for citywide projects. As of the preparation of the staff report, staff has not received any comments regarding this project.

RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that the Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 and Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 are not subject to CEQA or alternatively, are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the Common Sense Exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendments may have a significant effect on the environment, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, as an action taken a regulatory agency to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment; and approve Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 to amend the Zoning Code, and Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 to amend the Perris Valley Commerce Center, Downtown Perris, Green Valley, Harvest Landing, New Perris, and Riverglen Specific Plans to prohibit Data Centers citywide, based on the findings contained herein.

Staff time for preparing the staff report is budgeted in the 2026-2027 Development Services Budget.

OF PERRIS, COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE, STATE OF

CALIFORNIA, FINDING AN EXEMPTION FROM CEQA

AND ADOPTING, BASED ON THE FINDINGS NOTED
HEREIN, ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 26-00002,
AMENDING CHAPTERS 19.08 (DEFINITIONS) 19.36 (CN
ZONE), 19.38 (CC ZONE) AND 19.44 (INDUSTRIAL

ZONES) OF THE ZONING CODE OF THE PERRIS

MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT DATA CENTERS

WITHIN THE CIT OF PERRIS
WHEREAS, the City of Perris (“City”) is a general law city within the State of California; and WHEREAS, the City of Perris initiated a Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 to prohibit data centers as part of the Zoning Code, Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 and its attachments, (collectively hereafter referred to as “Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002”) are proposed to amend Chapters 19.08 (Definitions), 19.36 (CN Zone), 19.38 (CC Zone) and 19.44 (Industrial Zones) of the Zoning Code, Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code, to prohibit data centers within the City; and WHEREAS, the purpose of Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 is to protect public health, safety, and general welfare from the adverse effects of data centers; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that Data Centers have defining operational characteristics that may place disproportionate and long-duration demands on electricity, water, and supporting public infrastructure; expose nearby properties and sensitive receptors to continuous mechanical and generator noise; consume substantial industrial or commercial land while producing relatively few on-site jobs; and require long-term utility and land-use commitments that may be difficult to reverse; and WHEREAS, these reasonably anticipated effects bear directly on the City’s responsibility to plan for reliable essential services, orderly growth, compatible land uses, economic opportunity, and resilience during constrained-supply or emergency conditions, and the City need not wait for a service failure or sitespecific impact before adopting a prospective land-use policy; and WHEREAS, although a Conditional Use Permit requirement could regulate site-specific impacts such as ensuring appropriate setbacks, screening, equipment placement, and specified operating standards for an individual site, such a requirement would leave open a substantial possibility of development and operation of data centers in the City without (i) eliminating the continuous and substantial electricity and water (for cooling) demands of data centers, (ii) guaranteeing that long-term utility capacity remains available for other planned community needs, (iii) avoiding the significant adverse environmental impacts that data centers can cause, or (iv) preventing the cumulative commitment of infrastructure capacity as applications are approved over time; and
484
ORDINANCE NO. Page 2
WHEREAS, project-by-project review would require repeated compatibility and utility-capacity decisions without an adopted Citywide allocation framework for scarce utility resources and without assurance that mitigation imposed on one facility would address the combined effects of other existing or future facilities; and
WHEREAS, limiting Data Centers to industrial zones away from sensitive receptors would reduce certain immediate compatibility concerns but would not address systemwide electricity and water demand, infrastructure upgrades, emergency reliability, land consumption, or low employment intensity, and a size threshold would not reliably predict operational impact because electricity density, cooling technology, equipment configuration, expansion potential, and the combined effects of multiple smaller facilities vary substantially; and
WHEREAS, the proposed text amendments to prohibit data centers apply to Chapters 19.08 (Definitions), 19.36 (CN Zone), 19.38 (CC Zone), and 19.44 (Industrial Zones) of Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code, and by a separate-but-related City resolution (considered concurrently herewith) to adopt Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 26-00002, to the Perris Valley Commerce Center, Downtown Perris, Green Valley, Harvest Landing, New Perris, and Riverglen Specific Plan areas, because the identified demands affect interconnected systems serving the City and are not reliably confined or predicted by zoning designation, building size, or distance from a sensitive receptor; and WHEREAS, on September 16, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a legally noticed public hearing for Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002, and thereafter adopted Resolution No. 26-17 recommending that the City Council find a CEQA exemption and adopt said Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002; and
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2026, the City Council conducted a legally noticed public hearing for Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002, and having done so, now sees fit and intends to find a CEQA exemption and adopt Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 as provided herein; and WHEREAS, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65352.3 (Senate Bill 18), the City of Perris provided formal notification for tribal consultation regarding the amendment to those California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission as being traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project area and WHEREAS, on July 13, 2026, the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) determined that the amendment is consistent with the 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (MARB ALUCP) and the 2010 Perris Valley Airport ALUCP; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites for the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PERRIS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The above recitals are all true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of act.

Section 2. The City Council finds, based on the whole administrative record, that the proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical 485
ORDINANCE NO. Page 3
change in the environment, and constitutes organizational or administrative activities of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, as further detailed below; and that, alternatively, the proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), which provides that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Class 8 Categorical Exemption - Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). Class 8 consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 constitutes an action by the City as a regulatory agency, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002, by prohibiting data center land uses, assures the protection of the environment from significant environmental impacts that are commonly caused by data centers’ continuous and high demand for water and electricity and generation of noise, vibration, and diesel generator emissions, among other impacts. The water demand would be even greater for a facility located in the City of Perris given the areas hot climate. No exception to the categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies.

Section 3. The City Council further finds as follows:

A. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare and support the City’s long-term planning objectives, and constitutes a valid exercise of the City’s police power pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution.

B. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment would prospectively prohibit data centers, a land use whose continuous, substantial and potentially cumulative demands on electricity, water, cooling, and supporting infrastructure; long-duration mechanical and generator noise; substantial land consumption; and comparatively low on-site employment intensity would conflict with the City’s adopted land-use, infrastructure, service-reliability, economic-opportunity, and emergency-resilience priorities. Although Data Centers may provide property investment, property tax revenue and living-wage employment, those benefits do not outweigh the City’s responsibility to maintain adequate and reliable services, which would be jeopardized due to infrastructure capacity strains related to electricity and water demand of data centers, and the need for a balanced mix of land uses contemplated by the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans. The water demand would be even greater for a facility located in the City of Perris given the areas hot climate.

Electricity demand is of particular interest for Perris, as the City is next to March Air Reserve Base. Any rolling blackout would hit Perris and surrounding communities first, as the most critical priority is preserving electricity needs for the March Air Reserve Base, which supports US military operations by providing airlift refueling, deployment, training and logistics capabilities. This could in turn create safety risks in the City including loss of air conditioning in the City’s hot climate and loss of emergency communication and response capabilities. The City is not required to wait for a service failure or a site-specific impact to occur before addressing reasonably anticipated effects through legislation. 486
ORDINANCE NO. Page 4
C. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, and advances numerous goals, policies, and implementation measures set forth therein, including Goal IV of the Land Use Element, Goal 3.1 of the Environmental Justice Element and Goal V of the Noise Element, by achieving consistency among all planning documents, ensuring that the amendment reduces negative impacts associated with certain land uses and ensuring that future non-residential uses are compatible with noise sensitive land uses. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment also advances Goal II of the Land Use Element, which is “New development consistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities.” Allowing development of Data Centers as a matter of policy would be inconsistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities, and therefore would be incompatible with Land Use Element Goal II. The proposed prohibition therefore protects against development inconsistent with the General Plan and preserves and advances the City’s land use objectives.

D. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment will enhance, rather than diminish, public health, safety, and the general welfare. A Conditional Use Permit requirement would allow the City to evaluate individual proposals, but imposing project-specific conditions cannot eliminate the underlying utility demands of Data Centers, ensure that capacity remains available for other planned community needs, or address the cumulative effects of multiple facilities. Limiting Data Centers to industrial zones away from sensitive receptors likewise would not address systemwide demands for electricity, water, infrastructure, or emergency reliability. A size-based exemption would not provide equivalent protection because operational impact is not reliably predicted by building area and may vary with electricity density, cooling technology, equipment configuration, expansion potential, and the combined effects of multiple smaller facilities. The Citywide prohibition is therefore a reasonable legislative means of avoiding identified impacts before substantial private investment or public and utility commitments become difficult to reverse.

E. The availability of electricity or water service to an individual project, or evidence that a particular facility could satisfy an applicable numerical noise standard or generate less noise than another warehouse-type use, does not resolve the broader legislative concerns.

The amendment rests on the use’s continuous, substantial and potentially cumulative resource demands, long-term infrastructure commitments, land-consumption and employment characteristics, emergency-reliability implications, and the absence of assurance that individualized mitigation would preserve capacity or provide equivalent protection across the City. The existence of less restrictive approaches therefore does not negate the reasonable relationship between the uniform prohibition and the general welfare.

Section 4. Based upon the foregoing and the whole administrative record, including but not limited to, all statements and reports (including all attachments and exhibits) presented at its public hearing on October 13, 2026, the City Council approves Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 as follows:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PERRIS, COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE, STATE OF

CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING, BASED UPON THE FINDINGS
NOTED HEREIN, SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 26-00002

TO AMEND THE PERRIS VALLEY COMMERCE CENTER

SPECIFIC PLAN (PVCCSP), DOWNTOWN PERRIS

SPECIFIC PLAN (DTSP), GREEN VALLEY SPECIFIC PLAN
(GVSP), HARVEST LANDING SPECIFIC PLAN (HLSP),

SPECIFIC PLAN TO PROHIBIT DATA CENTERS IN THE

CITY OF PERRIS, AND MAKING FINDINGS RELATED
THERETO.

WHEREAS, the City of Perris (“City”) is a general law city within the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the City of Perris (“Applicant”) initiated Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 26-00002 to prohibit data centers within the City of Perris within the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCCSP), Downtown Perris Specific Plan, Green Valley Specific Plan, Harvest Landing Specific Plan, New Perris Specific Plan, and Riverglen Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 and its attachments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (collectively hereafter referred to as “Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002” or the “SPA”) are proposed to amend Chapter 2.0 (Land Use Plan) and Chapter 13.0 (Implementation and Administration) of the PVCCSP; Chapter 5 (Regulating Code) of the Downtown Perris Specific Plan (DPSP); Chapter 3 (Specific Plan Zoning) of the Green Valley Specific Plan (GVSP), Chapter 2 (Land Use Plan) of the Harvest Landing Specific Plan, Chapter 4 (Planning Area Development) of the New Perris Specific Plan and Chapter 4 (Development Regulations) of the Riverglen Specific Plan to prohibit data centers in the City of Perris; and WHEREAS, the proposed SPA is intended to prohibit data centers within the City of Perris; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 is to protect public health, safety, and general welfare from the adverse effects of data centers; and WHEREAS, the proposed SPA 26-00002 is considered a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that Data Centers have defining operational characteristics that may place disproportionate and long-duration demands on electricity, water, cooling systems, and supporting public infrastructure; expose nearby properties and sensitive receptors to continuous mechanical and generator noise; consume substantial industrial or 525
RESOLUTION NUMBER (next in order) Page 2
commercial land while producing comparatively few on-site jobs; and require long-term utility and land-use commitments that may be difficult to reverse; and WHEREAS, these reasonably anticipated effects bear directly on the City’s responsibility to plan for reliable essential services, orderly growth, compatible land uses, economic opportunity, and resilience during constrained-supply or emergency conditions, and the City need not wait for a service failure or site-specific impact before adopting a prospective land-use policy; and
WHEREAS, although a Conditional Use Permit could regulate setbacks, screening, equipment placement, and specified operating standards for an individual site, such conditions would not eliminate continuous electricity and cooling demands, guarantee that longterm utility capacity remains available for other planned community needs, or prevent the cumulative commitment of infrastructure capacity as multiple applications are approved over time; and
WHEREAS, project-by-project review would require the City to make repeated compatibility and utility-capacity decisions without an adopted citywide allocation framework for constrained utility resources and without assurance that mitigation imposed on one facility would address the combined effects of other existing or future facilities; and WHEREAS, limiting Data Centers to industrial zones away from sensitive receptors would reduce certain immediate compatibility concerns but would not address systemwide electricity and water demand, infrastructure upgrades, emergency reliability, land consumption, or low employment intensity, and a size threshold would not reliably predict operational impact because electricity density, cooling technology, equipment configuration, expansion potential, and the combined effects of multiple smaller facilities vary substantially; and
WHEREAS, the geographic scope of the amendments corresponds to the nature of the identified impacts because demands on electricity, water, and supporting infrastructure affect interconnected systems serving the City and are not reliably confined or predicted by zoning designation, building size, or distance from a sensitive receptor; and WHEREAS, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65352.3 (Senate Bill 18), the City of Perris provided formal notification for tribal consultation regarding the amendment to those California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission as being traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCCSP), Downtown Perris Specific Plan (DPSP), and Green Valley Specific Plan (GVSP); Harvest Landing Specific Plan (HLSP), New Perris Specific Plan (NPSP), Riverglen Specific Plan (RGSP); and
WHEREAS, the proposed SPA 26-00002 is considered a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and

RESOLUTION NUMBER (next in order) Page 3
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing for Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002, and considered public testimony and materials in the staff reports and accompanying documents and exhibits; and, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; and WHEREAS, on July 13, 2026, the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) determined that SPA 26-00002 is consistent with the 2014 March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (MARB ALUCP); and WHEREAS, on October 13, 2026, the City Council conducted a legally noticed public hearing for Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002, and having done so, now sees fit to adopt the amendment as provided herein; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PERRIS
FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The above recitals are all true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 2. The City Council finds, based on the whole administrative record, that:

A. Specific Plan Amenendment 26-00002 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), which provides that CEQA applies only to activities that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, because the amendment prohibits data centers within the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan, Downtown Perris Specific Plan, Green Valley Specific Plan, Harvest Landing Specific Plan and the New Perris Specific Plan, Riverglen Specific Plan and does not approve, authorize, or result in any specific development or increase in land use intensity.

Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 prohibits data centers within the PVCCSP, the DPSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP and RGSP. Data centers are not currently expressly permitted by Title 19 of the Municipal Code or any Specific Plan, and there are no pending data center projects in the City. Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 is not proposing or allowing any new development or land use, only making clear that data center land uses are prohibited in the City.

B. Alternatively, the proposed Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Class 8 Categorical Exemption - Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). Class 8 consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves 527
RESOLUTION NUMBER (next in order) Page 4
procedures for protection of the environment. Specific Plan Amendment 26-00002 constitutes an action by the City as a regulatory agency, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. Specific Plan Amendment 26- 00002, by prohibiting data center land uses, assures the protection of the environment from significant environmental impacts that are commonly caused by data centers’ continuous and high demand for water and electricity and generation of noise, vibration, and diesel generator emissions, among other impacts. The water demand would be even greater for a facility located in the City of Perris given the areas’ hot climate. No exception to the categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies.

Section 3. Findings. Based upon the foregoing, all oral and written testimony (including without limitation testimony by members of the public and City staff and the related agenda submittal and exhibits/attachments presented to the City Council), the City Council hereby finds, with respect to the SPA, as follows:

A. The Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and applicable General Plan objectives, policies, and programs.

The proposed amendment to the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCCSP), Downtown Perris Specific Plan (DTSP), Green Valley Specific Plan (GVSP), Harvest Landing Specific Plan (HLSP), New Perris Specific Plan (NPSP) and Riverglen Specific Plan (RGSP) is to prohibit data centers to protect the quality of life for the residents of the City. The proposed SPA is consistent intent and spirit of the General Plan. The proposed SPA promotes Goal IV of the Land Use Element, Goal 3.1 of the Environmental Justice Element and Goal V of the Noise Element which are as follows:

Goal IV (Land Use Element): Consistency among all planning documents.

Goal 3.1 (Environmental Justice Element): A community that reduces the negative impacts of land use changes, environmental hazards and climate change on disadvantaged communities.

Goal V- Stationary Source Noise (Noise Element): Future non-residential land uses compatible with noise sensitive land uses.

The proposed SPA is intended to make the PVCCSP, DTSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP, and RGSP consistent with the proposed Perris Zoning Code text amendment. The proposed SPA will continue to be consistent with the General Plan objectives, policies, and programs. The proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, and advances numerous goals, policies, and implementation measures set forth therein, including Goal IV of the Land Use Element, Goal 3.1 of the Environmental Justice Element and Goal V of the Noise Element, by achieving consistency among all planning documents, ensuring that the amendment reduces negative impacts associated with certain land uses and ensuring that future non-residential uses are compatible with noise sensitive land uses. 528
RESOLUTION NUMBER (next in order) Page 5
The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment also advances Goal II of the Land Use Element, which is “New development consistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities.” Allowing development of Data Centers as a matter of policy would be inconsistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities, and therefore would be incompatible with Land Use Element Goal II. The proposed prohibition therefore protects against development inconsistent with the General Plan and preserves and advances the City’s land use objectives.

B. The Specific Plan provides adequate text and diagrams to adequately address the following issues in detail:

1. The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the Plan.

The SPA is proposing to amend the Specific Plans (PVCCSP, DTSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP and RGSP) to prohibit data centers within the PVCCSP, DTSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP and RGSP areas. As a result, the Specific Plans will continue to be consistent with Zoning Code Text Amendment 26-00002 amending Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code. The SPA will incorporate minor text changes to prohibit data centers as part of Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code.

2. The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the Plan and needed to support the land uses described in the Plan.

The proposed SPA will not modify these aspects of the Specific Plans. The Specific Plans as amended by the proposed SPA will continue to satisfy this criterion, in that, the proposed Amendment will enhance, rather than diminish, public health, safety, and the general welfare. A Conditional Use Permit requirement would allow the City to evaluate individual proposals, but imposing project-specific conditions cannot eliminate the underlying utility demands of Data Centers, ensure that capacity remains available for other planned community needs, or address the cumulative effects of multiple facilities. Limiting Data Centers to industrial zones away from sensitive receptors likewise would not address systemwide demands for electricity, water, infrastructure, or emergency reliability. A size-based exemption would not provide equivalent protection because operational impact is not reliably predicted by building area and may vary with electricity density, cooling technology, equipment configuration, expansion potential, and the combined effects of multiple smaller facilities. The water demand would be even greater for a facility located in the City of Perris given the areas’ hot climate. The Citywide prohibition is therefore a reasonable legislative means of avoiding identified impacts before substantial private investment or public and utility commitments become difficult to reverse. The availability of electricity or water service to an individual project, or evidence that a particular facility could satisfy an applicable numerical noise standard or generate less noise than another warehouse-type use, does 529
RESOLUTION NUMBER (next in order) Page 6
not resolve the broader legislative concerns. The amendment rests on the use’s continuous, substantial and potentially cumulative resource demands, long-term infrastructure commitments, land-consumption and employment characteristics, emergency-reliability implications, and the absence of assurance that individualized mitigation would preserve capacity or provide equivalent protection across the City.

The existence of less restrictive approaches therefore does not negate the reasonable relationship between the uniform prohibition and the general welfare.

3. Standards and criteria by which development will proceed and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.

The proposed SPA will amend the Specific Plans (PVCCSP, DTSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP, RGSP) to prohibit data centers within the City. With the proposed amendments, the Specific Plans will continue to remain consistent and correspond with Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code.

4. A program of implementation measures including regulation, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out the provisions contained in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above.

The proposed SPA will not modify these aspects of the PVCCSP, DTSP, GVSP, HLSP, NPSP and the RGSP. The Specific Plans as amended by the proposed SPA will continue to satisfy this criterion.

Section 4. Based upon the foregoing and the whole administrative record, including but not limited to, all statements and reports (including all attachments and exhibits) presented at its public hearing on October 13, 2026, the City Council approves Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 26-00002, amending the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan, Downtown Perris Specific Plan, Green Valley Specific Plan, Harvest Landing Specific Plan, New Perris Specific Plan and Riverglen Specific Plan as shown in Exhibits 1 through 6 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, with additions indicated in redline or red text and deletions shown in strikethrough font.

Section 5. This Resolution shall take effect upon effectiveness of Ordinance No. ____.

Section 6. The City Council declares that should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence, or word of this Resolution be rendered or declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, and words of this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 7. The Mayor shall sign this Resolution, and the City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

PERRIS VALLEY COMMERCE CENTER LAND USE PLAN

2.0 LAND USE PLAN

2.1 Perris Valley Commerce Center Land Use Designations The Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan is designed to encourage a thoughtful mix of land uses that provide interrelated opportunities. Although the City has zoning designations that correspond to the land use designations, some modifications to the allowable uses and development standards are provided in the Standards and Guidelines (Section 4.0 – Section

10.0). The commerce center land use designations include: General Industrial (GI), Light Industrial (LI), Business/Professional Office (BPO) and Commercial (C). There are two areas of residential designations that are intended to recognize the existing communities: Residential (R) for the community located south of Markham, east of Webster, and north of Ramona Expressway; and Multi-Family Residential (MFR-14) for the mobile home community located north of Dawes and easterly of Perris Boulevard. Additionally, there is a designation to allow for public facilities: Public (P). There are two overlays including the Freeway Corridor, the Major Roadway Visual Zones and an Airport Overlay Zone which defines allowable land uses and intensity of development within the Flight Corridor as shown in Figure 2.0-1.

2.1.1 Industrial Uses
General Industrial (GI): This zone provides for the development of basic industrial uses which may support a wide range of manufacturing and non-manufacturing uses, from large-scale warehouse and warehouse/distribution facilities to outdoor industrial activities. This zone correlates with the “General Industrial” General Plan Land Use designation.

Light Industrial (LI): This zone provides for light industrial uses and related activities including manufacturing, research, warehouse and distribution, assembly of non-hazardous materials and retail related to manufacturing. This zone correlates with the ‘Light Industrial’ General Plan Land Use designation.

2.1.2 Business/Professional Office Uses
Business/Professional Office (BPO): This zone provides for uses associated with business, professional or administrative services located in areas of high visibility from major roadways with convenient access for automobiles and public transit service. Small-scale warehousing and light manufacturing are also allowed. This zone combines the General Plan Land Use designations of Business Park and Professional Office.

2.1.3 Commercial Uses
Commercial (C): This zoning designation provides for retail, professional office, and service oriented business activities which serve the entire City, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods.

This zone combines the General Plan Land Use designation of Community Commercial and Commercial Neighborhood.

2.1.4 Residential Uses
Residential (R): This zone recognizes the existing detached residential community at the northeast corner of Ramona Expressway and Webster Avenue. This zone shall be applicable to and correlate with the General Plan Land Use designation of R-20,000 Single Family Residential.

The continued use of this area as residential is allowed, but other business and commercialrelated activities are encouraged. Further subdivision in this land use category is discouraged.

Multi-Family Residential (MFR-14): This zone recognizes the existing mobile home park within the specific plan area. The continued use of this area as a mobile home park is allowed. Further subdivision in this land use category is discouraged.

2.1.5 Public Uses
Public (P): This zone is to provide for a wide range of public and semi-public uses such as schools and administrative offices, government facilities, public utilities, recreational facilities, and religious institutions. This zone shall be applicable to and correlate with the General Plan Land Use designation of Public/Semi-Public Facilities/Utilities.

Potential Basin Areas: Master Drainage Plan facilities identified potential basins in accordance with the Perris Valley Storm Drain and Perris Valley Commerce Center Master Drainage Plan being adopted by Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and City of Perris respectively. Remnant parcels of land currently designated as potential basin parcels that are determined not to be required for use as part of the basins, shall revert back to the surrounding land use.

2.1.6 Airport Overlay Zone
The Airport Overlay Zone extends from the south end of the runway at March Field, through the central part of the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan, terminating in the area adjacent to the Rider Street/Perris Boulevard intersection. It is comprised of three distinct areas with specific land uses and land use densities within their respective category. These three areas correspond to the Airport Safety Zones, as established by the 2005 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study for March Air Reserve Base. For a complete listing of those land uses prohibited or permitted with restrictions within those zones, see Tables 2.0-2 and 12.0-1. Amending this Specific Plan shall require additional review by the Airport Land Use Commission. Refer to Section

12.0 for further information on the Airport Overlay Zone.

Clear Zone (CZ): This zone prohibits new development of any kind, although it should be noted that there is some existing development in this area.

Accident Potential Zone I (APZ-I): This zone prohibits many uses that involve hazardous materials (such as gas stations), and those uses that have higher densities of people per acre. Nonresidential development will be limited to those uses that have not more than 25 persons per acre such as office parks, warehouses and distribution centers or similar uses. This zone prohibits 535
PVCC SPA12| LAND USE PLAN Section 2.0-4

PERRIS VALLEY COMMERCE CENTER LAND USE PLAN
new residential development, schools or churches. It should be noted that there is some existing residential development in this area.

Accident Potential Zone II (APZ-II): This zone prohibits many uses that involve hazardous materials (such as gas stations), and those uses that have higher densities of people per acre.

Non-residential development will be limited to those uses that have not more than 50 persons per acre at any time, including hotels and motels. This zone prohibits new residential development, schools or churches.

2.2 Summary of Perris Valley Commerce Center Land Use Comparison Generally, the City of Perris General Plan Land Use designations correspond with the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan land use designations with the following exceptions. The Community Commercial (CC) and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) have been combined into one designation – Commercial (C). Business Park (BP) and Professional Office (PO) have been combined to form one designation – Business/Professional Office (BPO). Public/SemiPublic/Utilities (P) and Park, Recreational, and Natural Open Space (OS) have been combined to Public (P). Table 2.0-1 as shown below, provides a comparison of the land use between the City of Perris existing General Plan designations and the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan designations.

BACKGROUND
On June 9, 2026, the City Council, by unanimous 5-0 vote, directed staff to initiate a code amendment to consider prohibiting Data Centers citywide, after hearing 27 public testimonies in support of the prohibition, and staff’s presentation on how other jurisdictions in California have regulated such uses, their operational characteristics and impacts to infrastructure related to electricity demand, water consumption, and noise; plus potentially as a revenue source through property tax and living wage jobs as summarized below:

1. Survey of California Cities' Approach to Regulation of Data Center Data centers generally consist of large, industrial-looking buildings that house servers, networking equipment, and other digital infrastructure supporting cloud computing, artificial intelligence, online services, and data storage. They are generally defined as:
“A facility that houses and operates computer systems, servers, and related equipment for the storage, processing, and transmission of data, typically for commercial, industrial, or governmental purposes”.

Jurisdictions with regulations for data centers in California have either outright banned them city-wide or only allowed them primarily in industrial zones or planned development areas, subject to a Conditional Use Permit application. Below are different approaches to regulating Data Centers:
• Monterey Park (Ban City Wide): In April of 2026, the City of Monterey Park became the first City in California to adopt ordinances to prohibit Data Centers. The City subsequently placed the prohibition on the June 2, 2026 ballot as Measure NDC. Monterey Park voters approved Measure NDC, permanently prohibiting Data Centers citywide. • Santa Clara (Subject to CUP): In 2025, the City of Santa Clara updated its Zoning Code to formally define and regulate Data Centers. Data centers are permitted in industrial and office zoning districts, subject to a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review. • San Jose (Subject to CUP): The City of San Jose does not have development standards to regulate Data Centers. Data centers are permitted in Light Industrial and Commercial Zones and Planned Development Districts, subject to a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review.
• El Segundo (Subject to CUP): The City of El Segundo allows Data Centers within its industrial zoning districts, subject to a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA environmental review. Where a project abuts residentially zoned property, additional compatibility measures may apply, including reduced height limits of 40 feet, increased setbacks of up to 100 feet, and a minimum 25-foot landscape buffer.
• Vernon (Subject to CUP): The City of Vernon, which is mostly industrial, classifies Data Centers as a heavy industrial or utility-intensive industrial use, permitted in the City’s industrial zoning districts, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, and CEQA environmental review and separation distance of at least 500 feet from K–12 school property lines. 602
01006.0005 2192768.2
However, it should be noted that there are currently no large-scale Data Centers in Riverside County. Large-scale Data Centers are predominantly concentrated in Silicon Valley and the East Coast, with additional facilities located in Los Angeles County.

2. Electricity Demand
Data Centers can impose unusually large, continuous electricity loads associated with operating and cooling computing equipment. A large-scale Data Center, generally between 500,000 and 1,500,000 square feet, may consume approximately 20 to 100 megawatts (MW), compared with approximately 2 to 10 MW for a warehouse of similar size. For perspective, 1 megawatt can provide electricity for approximately 750 to 1,000 homes. Although an electric utility may be able to serve to an individual facility after early coordination and potentially substantial grid upgrades, the technical ability to extend service does not eliminate the broader land-use concern. Committing limited system capacity to a use with exceptionally high, continuous demand may require major infrastructure, increase dependence on new generation and transmission capacity, constrain (and increase cost) of service available for planned housing, businesses, and public facilities, and create cumulative impacts not confined to the project site.

Electricity demand is of particular interest for Perris, as the City is next to March Air Reserve Base. Any rolling blackout would hit Perris and surrounding communities first, as the most critical priority is preserving electricity needs for the March Air Reserve Base, which supports US military operations by providing airlift refueling, deployment, training and logistics capabilities. This could in turn create safety risks in the City including loss of air conditioning in the City’s hot climate and loss of emergency communication and response capabilities.

3. Water Consumption
Data Centers can require substantial quantities of water for cooling, ranging from approximately 200,000 to several million gallons per day, compared with approximately 5,000 to 50,000 gallons per day for a warehouse of similar size and approximately 150 to 300 gallons per day for a typical household. A water provider’s ability to identify a potential service connection, recycled-water option, or project-specific improvement does not establish that the use is compatible with the City’s long-term land-use objectives. Data Center demand may compete with planned residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses; require costly extensions or upgrades; and reduce operational flexibility during drought, emergency, or supply-constrained conditions. These concerns remain even where recycled water could be extended, because supply, conveyance, storage, and reliability constraints are systemwide and cumulative. This demand would be even greater for a facility located in the City of Perris given the areas hot climate.

4. Noise
Data Centers operate continuously and rely on cooling equipment, air-handling systems, electrical equipment, and periodic testing or operation of backup generators. These sources can create persistent low-frequency noise that differs from the intermittent truck and loading activity associated with many warehouse uses. Even when modeled sound levels comply with a numerical standard at a property line, continuous operation and the combined effect of multiple mechanical sources may affect nearby residents and other sensitive receptors. Site 603

design and conditions of approval may reduce, but cannot necessarily eliminate, these operational characteristics over the life of a facility as equipment is replaced, expanded, or operated under peak conditions.

5. Revenue Source
Data Centers do not generate point-of-sale activity in the same manner as commercial or ecommerce operations that may sometimes occur within a large-scale warehouse or distribution facility. However, large-scale Data Centers may generate substantial property tax revenue that can be six times higher than that of an equivalent-sized warehouse building due to the assessed value of the property, which can include investment in servers, electrical systems, network equipment, cooling systems, and other specialized infrastructure.

For comparison, an 800,000-square-foot warehouse building in Perris was assessed at $187 million. Assuming a property tax rate of approximately one percent and roughly 10% of the 1% base property tax going to the City, the property would generate approximately $187,000 in annual base property tax revenue to the City. If a Data Center of the same size were hypothetically assessed at six times the value of the warehouse, or approximately $1,122,000,000, the property tax portion payable to the City could be approximately $1,122,000 (e.g., 10% of the approximately 1% property valuation at $1,122 billion).

6. Living Wage Salary Jobs
Data centers generally employ fewer workers than similar-sized warehouse or distribution facilities. A large Data Center may employ 50 to100 workers, while a similarly sized warehouse or distribution facility may employ hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of workers. Additionally, many Data Center positions require specialized technical expertise and offer high salaries, which means companies may recruit from established technology markets and may limit local employment opportunities.

In summary, while Data Centers may provide property investment, property tax revenue and living-wage employment, those benefits do not outweigh the City’s responsibility to maintain adequate and reliable services, which would be jeopardized due to infrastructure capacity strains related to electricity and water demand of data centers, and the need for a balanced mix of land uses contemplated by the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans.

RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL WELFARE AND BASIS FOR CITYWIDE

PROHIBITION
The proposed amendments would establish a citywide prohibition on Data Centers to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare and support the City’s long-term planning objectives.

Data Centers are characterized by high and continuous electricity and water demand, continuous mechanical and generator operations, potential requirements for substantial off-site infrastructure, and relatively low employment intensity. These characteristics can place sustained demands on limited utility and public resources and create impacts beyond the project site, including significant environmental impacts associated with the excessive water and electricity usage and noise generation. The proposed amendments provide a means of addressing these anticipated conditions and avoiding these environmental impacts through prospective land-use planning rather than relying solely on site-specific review.
604
01006.0005 2192768.2
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement would allow the City to evaluate individual proposals, but imposing project-specific conditions cannot eliminate the underlying utility demands of Data Centers, ensure that capacity remains available for other planned community needs, or address the cumulative effects of multiple facilities. Similarly, limiting Data Centers to industrial zones or areas away from sensitive receptors could reduce localized compatibility concerns but would not address systemic demands for electricity, water, infrastructure, or emergency reliability. Allowing smaller Data Centers would not necessarily avoid these concerns, because electricity and water use can vary depending on facility design, cooling systems, equipment, and potential for future expansion.

Based on these considerations, a citywide prohibition provides a consistent and predictable approach to addressing the identified concerns before substantial private investment or infrastructure commitments occur. While Data Centers may provide property investment, tax revenue, and specialized employment, those benefits must be balanced against the City’s responsibility to maintain adequate and reliable services and preserve land and infrastructure capacity for the balanced mix of uses contemplated by the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans.

The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, and advances numerous goals, policies, and implementation measures set forth therein, including Goal IV of the Land Use Element, Goal 3.1 of the Environmental Justice Element and Goal V of the Noise Element, by achieving consistency among all planning documents, ensuring that the amendment reduces negative impacts associated with certain land uses and ensuring that future non-residential uses are compatible with noise sensitive land uses. The proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment also advances Goal II of the Land Use Element, which is “New development consistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities.” Allowing development of Data Centers as a matter of policy would be inconsistent with infrastructure capacity and municipal service capabilities, and therefore would be incompatible with Land Use Element Goal II. The proposed prohibition therefore protects against development inconsistent with the General Plan and preserves and advances the City’s land use objectives.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The proposed Zone Text Amendment would amend Chapters 19.08 (Definitions), 19.36 (CN Zone), 19.38 (CC Zone), and 19.44 (Industrial Zones) of the Zoning Code (Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code). The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would amend the following Specific Plans: Perris Valley Commerce Center (PVCCSP), Downtown Perris (DPSP), Green Valley (GVSP), Harvest Landing (HLSP), New Perris (NPSP), and Riverglen (RSP). Collectively, these two actions would prohibit Data Centers citywide.

The proposed amendments would establish a consistent citywide prohibition on Data Centers across the Zoning Code and applicable Specific Plans. The amendments are intended to ensure that Data Centers are not permitted in individual zoning districts or Specific Plan areas based on differences in land use designation, location, or development standards. The proposed changes are summarized below.

MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion to consider prohibiting data centers REQUESTED ACTION: The City Council is requested to consider, discuss, and provide direction on the prohibition of data centers.

CONTACT: Kenneth Phung, Director of Development Services BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On January 13, 2026, Councilmember Rabb directed staff to research the impacts of data centers, to potentially prohibit these types of uses, if the Perris Municipal Code (PMC) does not already address this in our land use code. In reviewing both the PMC and Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCC Specific Plan), there is currently no land use restriction or definition for a “data center,” as this is a relatively new, emerging land use. Jurisdictions with regulations for data centers in California have only allowed them primarily in industrial zones or planned development areas, subject to a Conditional Use Permit application, and generally defined them as:
“A facility that houses and operates computer systems, servers, and related equipment for the storage, processing, and transmission of data, typically for commercial, industrial, or governmental purposes”.

Additionally, data centers can generally be classified as either large-scale or regional facilities. A large-scale data center would typically be 250,000 square feet to over 1 million square feet within a campus setting that supports cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and streaming services for some of the world’s largest companies. A regional data center is a smaller building/facility that supports backup data services for local businesses.

Riverside County has no large-scale (e.g., hyperscale) data centers; instead, the facilities in Riverside County are generally less than 40,000 square feet to support backup data services. The large-scale data centers are predominantly in Silicon Valley and on the East Coast, with some facilities in Los Angeles County. This report provides an overview of data center operations, summarizes how other jurisdictions regulate these facilities, and outlines a range of regulatory approaches for the Council to direct staff on how to proceed.

ANALYSIS:

Overview of Data Centers' Aesthetic and Operational Characteristics Data centers are generally large, industrial-looking facilities that house servers, networking equipment, and digital infrastructure supporting cloud computing, artificial intelligence, online services, and data storage. Although many larger square-footage data center buildings resemble warehouses, their aesthetics and operational characteristics differ from those of a typical warehouse.

Data centers do not need truck doors or parking for semi-trucks to transport merchandise, as they house data processing and computing equipment. As for operational characteristics, they often require only a limited number of employees, consisting of server technicians, network engineers, facility managers, and others, to troubleshoot equipment failures and ensure all equipment is functioning optimally.

Additionally, data centers are distinct from those of a typical warehouse in the following ways:
• Electricity Demand. They have a high demand for electricity as a large-scale data center, generally between 500,000 and 1,500,000 square feet, can consume between 20 and 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity to cool the facility and run the computer system. While a typical warehouse with the same square footage generates between 2 and 10 megawatts.

For perspective, 1 megawatt can roughly power between 750 and 1,000 homes. Although there is high demand for electricity for a data center, Southern California Edison (SCE) indicated that power could be provided, subject to an early partnership with them to ensure that the electrical grid is upgraded to accommodate this use. • Water Consumption. They have high water consumption demands associated with the cooling facility, which can consume anywhere between 200,000 and a few million gallons a day. While a typical warehouse with the same square footage needs between 5,000 and 50,000 gallons of water per day. For perspective, a typical house uses 150 to 300 gallons of water a day. Although there is high demand for water, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) indicated that water for cooling a data center could potentially be provided, subject to early consultation, and that a recycled water system is available and would be constructed.
• Noise Activity. Although a fully operational data center is usually much quieter than a warehouse, the operation can generate a constant mechanical hum as the air conditioning unit creates a steady white noise 24 hours a day, while a warehouse will create intermittent noise associated with truck trips, truck engines, and forklifts. • Revenue Source. Data centers do not create a point-of-sale business, such as an ecommerce business, which sometimes occurs within a large-scale warehouse building.

However, large-scale data centers generate property tax revenues that can be six times higher than those of an equivalent-sized warehouse building due to assessed values based 611
on the additional cost of server infrastructure (e.g., electrical systems, network equipment, cooling systems, etc.).

With property tax assessed at approximately 1% of the property's total assessed value, and roughly 10% of that 1% base property tax going to the City, this could create an additional revenue source for the City. As an example, last year, an 800,000-square-foot warehouse building in Perris was assessed at $187 million, resulting in a distribution of $187,000 (10% of the approximately 1% of the property evaluation at $187,000,000) to the City. If that same warehouse building were a data center building, the property evaluation could hypothetically be valued at $1,122,000,000 billion, or 6 times higher than an equivalentsized warehouse building evaluation. Therefore, the property tax portion payable to the City could hypothetically be up to $1,122,000 (e.g., 10% of the approximately 1% property evaluation at $1,122,000 billion).
• Living Wage Salary Jobs. Data centers can bring high-paying jobs in fields such as systems engineering, cybersecurity, and facility operations, often with salaries above the local average. However, compared to warehouses or distribution centers, they create fewer jobs. Modern data centers are highly automated and may require only 50–100 employees to operate a large facility, while similarly sized warehouses can employ hundreds or thousands of workers. In addition, many positions require specialized technical expertise, which means companies often recruit from established tech markets, reducing local hiring opportunities.

Survey of California Cities Approaches
As demand for data centers continues to grow, one city has outright banned data centers under its land-use codes, and other cities have adopted zoning regulations and operational standards to address concerns about infrastructure demand, water and energy consumption, noise, and land-use compatibility. Examples include:
• Monterey Park: In April of 2026, the City of Monterey Park became the first City in California to adopt ordinances to outright prohibit data centers. Additionally, the prohibition was placed on the June 2026 ballot, so if the ballot measure is approved, it would ensure the ban could only be overturned by another ballot measure. • Santa Clara: In 2025, the City of Santa Clara updated its Zoning Code to formally regulate and define data centers. Data centers are permitted in industrial and office zoning districts, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Applicable development standards include façade articulation requirements and structural noise mitigation measures for cooling equipment and other mechanical systems, such as noise-reducing screening, including perimeter walls.
• San Jose: The City of San Jose has no standards specific to data centers. Data centers are permitted in Light Industrial and Commercial Zones and Planned Development Districts.

They are treated as industrial/commercial uses and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis through Planned Development Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit, CEQA environmental 612
review, project-specific conditions of approval, and the standards of the underlying zoning district. Projects must address operational impacts, including noise from cooling equipment, HVAC systems, backup generators, and electrical substations. • El Segundo: The City of El Segundo allows data centers within its industrial zoning districts. El Segundo does not have development standards specific to data centers; instead, they are regulated by the underlying industrial zoning regulations and the project-specific conditions of approval. Data center projects are subject to Conditional Use Permit and CEQA environmental review. Where a project abuts residentially zoned property, height limits may be reduced to 40 feet, setbacks may be increased to 100 feet, and a minimum 25-foot landscaped buffer may be required to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses.

Additionally, projects must address operational impacts, including noise from cooling equipment, HVAC systems, backup generators, and electrical substations. • Vernon: The City of Vernon is mostly industrial, and data centers are classified as a heavy industrial or utility-intensive industrial use, permitted in the City’s industrial zoning districts. Vernon does not have development standards specific to data centers; instead, they are regulated by the underlying industrial zoning regulations and project-specific conditions of approval. Data center projects are subject to Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit, and CEQA environmental review. Vernon relies on performance standards to mitigate operational and compatibility impacts related to noise, visual screening, and hazardous materials. These standards include requirements for 6-foot-high solid masonry walls, a minimum 5-foot landscaped setback, and a hazardous-material separation distance of at least 500 feet from K–12 school property lines.

City of Perris Regulatory Framework
Under the current Perris Municipal Code (PMC) and the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCCSP), data centers are not specifically identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted land use. Generally, uses not expressly listed within a zoning district are prohibited.

However, PMC Section 19.44.020 authorizes the Director of Development Services to evaluate unlisted uses and determine whether they are substantially similar to existing permitted or conditionally permitted uses within the applicable zone.

Currently, there are no large-scale or colocation data centers operating within the City of Perris.

Based on the approach of other cities, the City Council may consider that staff move forward with the following options:

1. Prohibit Data Centers Citywide

2. Allow data centers with a Conditional Use Permit in Industrial Zones (LI and GI Zones). A Conditional Use Permit is discretionary, on a case-by-case basis, as the size and location will vary based on the type of data center proposed and infrastructure availability nearby to accommodate a data center facility. A water and energy usage projections plan would be required to ensure infrastructure capacity.
613

3. Allow them by right in the LI and GI Zones, subject to standard zoning regulations for warehouses. The recent regulations update for warehouses to data centers, including limiting the size of the building based on proximity to sensitive receptors, would apply.

4. Combine Options 2 and 3: Require a Conditional Use Permit and apply warehousing regulations in the LI and GI Zones.

If the direction is to move forward with prohibiting or regulating a data center under Options 2, 3 or 4, the Zoning Code and Specific Plans will be required to be updated. This will include a 90- day of tribal consultation required for Specific Plan Amendment updates, and then scheduling the item before the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for final approval.

This process could take up to six months before the code update could be presented for Council consideration.

RECOMMENDATION:

Based on the information presented, the City Council is requested to consider, discuss, and provide direction on the potential prohibition of data centers.

BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT: Staff time for the preparation of the staff report is covered by the 2025-2026 Development Services Department budget.

I am writing to express my strong support for a complete ban on data centers in the City of Perris.

As a resident and member of the surrounding community, I believe data centers are not an appropriate type of development for Perris. These facilities can place significant demands on our community’s water and electricity resources while also bringing concerns regarding noise, environmental impacts, infrastructure, traffic, and the long-term quality of life for residents.

Perris is already experiencing significant growth, and I believe our city should prioritize development that directly benefits the people who live here and is compatible with our community.

I respectfully urge the City Council to take a firm position against data centers and support a complete prohibition of data center development within Perris. I also ask that the concerns and voices of local residents be given serious consideration before any data center projects are approved.

I strongly support protecting Perris from this type of development and hope our elected officials will stand with the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Jazmine Rodriguez

Hello, my name is Laura. I have been a resident of Perris for a few years now and appreciated how much it is growing and developing. However, I don't believe that data centers have a place in Perris. Data centers consume a massive amount of electricity and will put even more strain on an already unstable grid. Perris often has power outages during the summer and adverse weather conditions, data centers will only exacerbate that. These facilities also require exorbitant amounts of water for cooling, worsening the drought in our area. Data centers are not necessary in our city and should be banned. 621

Good evening Planning Commissioners, staff and community, my name is Janet Bernabe, a 30 year resident and I am writing to urge the ban of data centers/amending any land zoning in the city of Perris and nearby communities. These centers will have negative impacts on our environment, public health, and local communities through high energy and water use, pollution, and noise and light disturbances. Our communities are already overwhelmed with the built environment (warehouses, traffic, pollution and so on. We need better decision making for a better Perris and it starts with making the right decision /vote that will benefit constituents/residents, like myself and family.

Thank you again, as I urge the Planning commission to urge the ban of data centers/amending any land zoning in the city of Perris and nearby communities.

Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Perris will hold a Public Hearing on the item below:

CASES: Zoning Code Text Amendment
26-00002
Specific Plan Amendment
26-00002
APPLICANT: City of Perris
101 North “D” Street
Perris, CA 92570
LOCATION: Citywide
PROPOSAL: A city-initiated proposal to amend Title 19
(Zoning Code) of the Municipal Code and the Perris Valley Commerce Center, Downtown Perris, Harvest Landing, Green Valley, New Perris, and Riverglen Specific Plans to prohibit data centers citywide.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed
project has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), which
provides that CEQA does not apply to activities that CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment, and Section 15308 as an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency to assure the maintenance,
restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for
protection of the environment. The proposed amendment
consists of text changes to the City’s Zoning Code for
compliance with State law. These actions do not authorize or result in any specific development, entitlement, or physical change to the environment and therefore do not constitute a project under CEQA.

PUBLIC HEARING: The City Council is scheduled to
consider this project on October 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. The Planning Commission considered the project on September 16, 2026, and recommended approval of the project to the City Council by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 noes.

All information is available for review at the Development Services Department, Planning Division, located at 135 North D Street, Perris. Any person affected or concerned by this application may submit written comments to the Office of the City Clerk before the City Council hearing by 5:00 p.m. At the public hearing, any person may appear and be heard in support of or in opposition to the project. At the hearing or during deliberations, the City Council could recommend approval of an alternative proposal for the above project, including any changes to the proposal. Any person challenging this project in court may be limited to raising only those issues identified at the public hearing described in this notice or in writing delivered to the City Council prior to the public hearing.

AGENDA SUBMITTAL

11.B
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

MEETING DATE: October 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration to Issue the 10-Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the prior 10-month and 15-day Industrial Moratorium extension on the approval, establishment, and expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution uses, and adopting an Interim Urgency Ordinance, by title, extending the Moratorium for an additional year until December 9, 2027.

REQUESTED ACTION: Issue the 10-Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the Initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium established through Ordinance No. 1466 adopted on December 9, 2025, and the subsequent 10-month 15-day extension established through Ordinance No. 1470 adopted on January 13, 2026; and
Adopt Interim Urgency Ordinance Number (next in order), extending a temporary moratorium on approval, establishment, and expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution uses for an additional one year and making findings related thereto.

CONTACT: Kenneth Phung, Director of Development Services The City Council on January 13, 2026, unanimously voted 5-0 to adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1470, to extend the initial 45-day industrial moratorium adopted on December 9, 2025, an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days until December 9, 2026, pausing the approval, establishment, and expansion of all industrial warehouse and distribution uses in the City of Perris except for projects with vested rights, which include a Development Agreement, Vesting Map, or grading or building permit ready to start construction.

The proposed Ordinance now is to consider extending the industrial moratorium due to expire on December 9, 2026, for an additional one year until December 9, 2027, in order to allow the City additional time to study, address, and mitigate the conditions that led to the current and imminent threat to public, health, safety and welfare as provided in the Ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858.
625
The first step before considering extending the Moratorium, is for the Council to issue a 10-Day Report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the moratorium, as required by Government Code Section 65858(d), 10 days prior to expiration or any extension of the Industrial Moratorium (Attachment 1). A 10-day report must be issued regardless of whether the Council decides to extend the moratorium.

The next step is for the Council is to consider adopting the proposed ordinance extending the Industrial Moratorium for an additional year pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a) until December 9, 2027, which requires a 4/5 vote. The proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance to extend the Moratorium is Attachment 2 to this Report. The proposed one-year extension would be the last extension allowed under Government Code Section 65858. If the Council does not approve this extension, the moratorium is scheduled to expire on December 9, 2026.

Projects Subject to the Industrial Moratorium
At the January 13, 2026, Council meeting, the decision was made that all industrial warehouse and distribution uses, regardless of square footage, would be subject to the moratorium, which is the same framework for this industrial moratorium. Therefore, the industrial moratorium would apply to all the projects summarized below and further detailed in Attachment 3.

Approved Industrial Projects – In Plan Check and No Permits: A total of 9 projects totaling 1.9 million square feet.

Approved Industrial Projects – No Plan Check and No Permits: A total of 4 projects totaling 1.2 million square feet.

Projects in the Entitlement Process: A total of 13 projects totaling 9.6 million square feet.

Newly Submitted Projects in the Entitlement Process: A total of 2 projects totaling 2 million square feet.

Automatic Tolling/Extension of Maps During Industrial Moratorium Under the Subdivision Map Act, a Tentative Map is generally valid for 2 years with up to six (6) available one-year extensions, for a total of up to eight (8) years. However, under the Subdivision Map Act, the time period for effectiveness of tentative maps that were approved prior to imposition of the moratorium shall not include any period of time during which the moratorium is in effect. Once the moratorium is terminated, any such tentative map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time that the moratorium was imposed. Therefore, the proposed ordinance makes clear that the effective period does not run (i.e., is tolled or paused) for the duration of the moratorium, including any extension.

However, for the Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit application that is generally associated with the approval of industrial warehousing and distribution development projects, there is no state statute that automatically tolls/extends the effective period of the Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit approval, nor does the existing moratorium or the proposed extension provide any such tolling. Therefore, this component of any approved industrial project application will need to 626
process an extension application for Director approval while the moratorium is in place if the effective period of the approval is scheduled to expire while the moratorium is in effect. A Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit approval is valid for an initial 36-month period, with a maximum of three one-year extensions (not exceeding a total of 36 months) allowed. Extensions are available during effectiveness of the existing moratorium and the proposed extension. Staff has confirmed that none of the approved Development Plan Reviews or Conditional Use Permits that are subject to the moratorium are scheduled to expire and run out of available extensions during or soon after the proposed moratorium extension period (Attachment 3).
10-Day Report
In accordance with the California Government Code Section 65858, at least 10 days prior to expiration or any extension of the Industrial Moratorium, the City Council is required to issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of the Ordinance. The proposed 10-Day Report has been prepared and is included as Attachment 1. The report identifies the measures completed or initiated to date, as well as the additional measures Staff intends to undertake during the proposed 12-month extension of the Industrial Moratorium. These measures are summarized below.

Measures Completed or Initiated

1. On December 9, 2025, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1468 for the modification of the industrial development standards for warehouses and distribution centers to improve development standards further when in proximity to sensitive receptors. The City Council conducted the second reading and adopted the ordinance on January 13, 2026. The development code amendment became effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

2. On December 9, 2025, the City Council additionally approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1467 for the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for any warehouse or distribution center exceeding 50,000 square feet, with the City Council designated as the approval authority. The City Council conducted the second reading and adopted the ordinance on January 13, 2026. The development code amendment became effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

3. On November 19, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted an Environmental Scoping Meeting on the City’s Circulation Element update to further address truck route compliance with Assembly Bill 98 and Senate Bill 415, so that industrial developments are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential communities. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was later finalized and circulated for public review; however, in response to comments received, the DEIR was updated and recirculated for public review on September 11, 2026. The City anticipates completing the Circulation Element update in early 2027.

4. Staff has initiated coordination with environmental and traffic consultants to quantify the impacts of the high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City compared to 627
the relatively modest growth in commercial or multiple-family development. The purpose of these studies is to quantify the increase in truck traffic, the extensive damage to local streets, the adverse effects on air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in the City. The findings in these reports, when completed, will assist staff in determining whether further updates to the General Plan, Specific Plan, and/or zoning regulations related to industrial land use and development are warranted, including (without limitation) potentially changing roadway design standards for industrial development, establishing a fee for roadway maintenance, or broadening the land uses allowed in the Light Industrial and General Industrial zones so that there are more permitted uses that will be less impactful than warehousing and distribution uses on the surrounding areas.

Ongoing Measures Remaining to be Completed During the Proposed 12-Month Extension

5. During the proposed 12-month extension, in addition to completing the Circulation Element update, Staff will complete the environmental and traffic studies described above and evaluate the findings to determine whether additional land use, development, and circulation regulations are warranted, as discussed above. Staff’s evaluation will also include review of the General Plan, applicable Specific Plans, and Zoning Code to identify potential amendments to address the location, intensity, and impacts of warehousing and distribution uses and promote the City’s public health, safety, and welfare. Such proposals may include, without limitation:

A comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, which was adopted in 2005, and potential amendments to the Zoning Map and Specific Plans to ensure that industrial developments are located in areas that minimize potential adverse impacts on residential areas and other sensitive receptors.

Zoning Code and Specific Plans text amendments to expand the list of permitted land uses, excluding warehousing and distribution uses, within the City’s industrial zones, in order to incentivize and facilitate development of such other land uses rather than development of warehousing and distribution uses.

In summary, the measures completed and initiated to date, together with the additional studies and regulatory evaluations anticipated to be completed and any resulting actions that may be taken during the proposed 12-month extension, are intended to further identify and address the conditions that led to the adoption of the Industrial Moratorium. Upon completion of these efforts, the findings will assist Staff in developing and recommending appropriate proposed, alternative, and/or additional regulations for consideration by the City Council. Such requirements could help ensure the City has the necessary Planning oversight and decision-making authority to require industrial warehouse and distribution projects to be compatible with the surrounding areas and avoid negative impacts of any future warehousing and development uses or expansions on public health, safety, and welfare, including for the sensitive receptors nearby and the surrounding areas. Completing the required analyses, as well as developing and implementing the appropriate changes, is anticipated to take at least several months from the date of this report.
628
Extension of Urgency Ordinance Legislative Findings
In adopting the initial 45-day Interim Urgency Ordinance and the subsequent 10 month-and-15-day extension, the City Council found that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval and proliferation of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City under its current regulations, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning ordinance regulations for such uses. By adopting the proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance extending the moratorium for one additional year, the City Council would be making similar findings with respect to the extension, as required by Government Code Section 65858 and detailed in the proposed ordinance.

There remains a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning regulations. The high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City under current regulations have caused increased truck traffic, extensive damage to local streets, adverse effects to air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental effects on public health, safety, and welfare in the City, as further detailed in the recitals of the proposed ordinance, and threatens to cause further and exacerbated effects of this nature if allowed to resume without sufficient regulation after the expiration of the current Industrial Moratorium without the proposed extension. More time is needed for the City to analyze, develop and act upon the contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposals outlined in the ordinance, including studies on the impact of trucking activity on City roadways. Therefore, without an extension of the moratorium, the continued/resumed approval and proliferation of these uses which would be required for the City to comply with its zoning ordinance would result in that current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. The proposed ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety against such threats.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:

On October 2, 2026, Staff notified local resident groups, including Perris Neighbors in Action and the Inland Valley Alliance for Environmental Justice, by email regarding the proposed extension of the Industrial Moratorium. On October 2, 2026, Staff similarly contacted representatives of the industrial community to provide information regarding the proposed extension and solicit comments. As of the date of this report, Staff has not received any comments regarding the proposed extension.

A public hearing for the City Council’s consideration of the moratorium extension was duly noticed in accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a).

RECOMMENDATION:

City staff request that Council: (1) issue the 10 Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate 629
BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT:
the conditions that led to the adoption of the Industrial Moratorium established through Ordinance No. 1466 adopted on December 9, 2025 and Ordinance 1470 extending the Industrial Moratorium on January 13, 2026 (Attachment 1); and (2) adopt the Interim Urgency Ordinance Number extending the Industrial Moratorium for one additional year to December 9, 2027, on the approval, establishment, and expansion of warehouse and distribution facilities in the City of Perris, which will require a 4/5 vote (Attachment 2).

No impact to the General Fund, as costs for staff preparation of this item have been budgeted in the 2026-2027 Development Services Budget.

10-Day Report on Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1470 (Industrial Warehousing and Distribution Moratorium)
Date: October 13, 2026
Background:

The City Council on January 13, 2026, unanimously voted 5-0 to adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1470 (“Ordinance”), to extend the initial 45-day industrial moratorium adopted on December 9, 2026, an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days until December 9, 2026, pausing the approval, establishment, and expansion of all industrial warehouse and distribution uses in the City of Perris except for projects with vested rights, which include a Development Agreement, Vesting Map, or grading or building permit ready to start construction. The moratorium was enacted pursuant to Section 65858 of the California Government Code, took effect immediately, and will expire on December 9, 2026, unless extended by the Council.

Overview:

Among other things, during the moratorium the City has commenced effortsto study and quantify the impacts of the high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City, compared with the relatively modest growth in commercial or multi-family development in the past 20 years. More time is needed to complete these studies. The studies will quantify the increase in truck traffic, the extensive damage to local streets, the adverse effects on air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in the City. The findings in these reports, when completed, will assist staff in determining whether further updates to the General Plan, Specific Plan, and/or zoning regulations related to industrial land use and development are warranted, such as by changing roadway design standards for industrial development, establishing a fee for roadway maintenance, or broadening the land uses allowed in the Light Industrial and General Industrial zones so that there are more permitted uses that would be less impactful than warehousing and distribution uses on the surrounding areas. The potential updates will enable the City to adequately and appropriately protect the public peace, health, safety, and welfare, as well as environmental justice and environmental quality, in connection with any future warehousing and distribution uses.

Measures Taken Since the Extension of Industrial Moratorium:

Subdivision (d) of Section 65858 of the Government Code provides that “[t]en days prior to the expiration of that interim ordinance or any extension, the legislative body shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance.” This report complies with the requirements of Government Code section 65858(d).

During the period the moratorium has been in place, the City has taken the following measures to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the Ordinance:

1. On December 9, 2025, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1468 for the modification of the industrial development standards for warehouses and distribution centers to improve development standards further when in proximity to sensitive receptors.

The City Council conducted the second reading and adopted the ordinance on January 13, 632
01006.0005 2202076.1
2026. The development code amendment became effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

2. On December 9, 2025, the City Council additionally approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1467 for the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for any warehouse or distribution center exceeding 50,000 square feet, with the City Council designated as the approval authority. The City Council conducted the second reading and adopted the ordinance on January 13, 2026. The development code amendment became effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

3. On November 19, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted an Environmental Scoping Meeting on the City’s Circulation Element update to further address truck route compliance with Assembly Bill 98 and Senate Bill 415, so that industrial developments are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential communities. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was later finalized and circulated for public review; however, in response to comments received, the DEIR was updated and recirculated for public review on September 11, 2026. The City anticipates completing the Circulation Element update in early 2027.

4. Staff has initiated coordination with environmental and traffic consultants to quantify the impacts of the high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City compared to the relatively modest growth in commercial or multiple-family development. The purpose of these studies is to quantify the increase in truck traffic, the extensive damage to local streets, the adverse effects on air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in the City. The findings in these reports, when completed, will assist staff in determining whether further updates to the General Plan, Specific Plan, and/or zoning regulations related to industrial land use and development are warranted, including (without limitation) potentially changing roadway design standards for industrial development, establishing a fee for roadway maintenance, or broadening the land uses allowed in the Light Industrial and General Industrial zones so that there are more permitted uses that will be less impactful than warehousing and distribution uses on the surrounding areas.

Ongoing Measures Remaining to be Completed During the Proposed 12-Month Extension

5. During the proposed 12-month extension, in addition to completing the Circulation Element update, Staff will complete the environmental and traffic studies described above and evaluate the findings to determine whether additional land use, development, and circulation regulations are warranted, as discussed above. Staff’s evaluation will also include review of the General Plan, applicable Specific Plans, and Zoning Code to identify potential amendments to address the location, intensity, and impacts of warehousing and distribution uses and promote the City’s public health, safety, and welfare.

Next Step
In summary, the measures completed and initiated to date, together with the additional studies and 633
01006.0005 2202076.1
regulatory evaluations anticipated to be completed and any resulting actions that may be taken during the proposed 12-month extension, are intended to further identify and address the conditions that led to the adoption of the Industrial Moratorium. Upon completion of these efforts, the findings will assist Staff in developing and recommending appropriate proposed, alternative, and/or additional regulations for consideration by the City Council. Such requirements could help ensure the City has the necessary Planning oversight and decision-making authority to require industrial warehouse and distribution projects to be compatible with the surrounding areas and avoid negative impacts of any future warehousing and development uses or expansions on public health, safety, and welfare, including for the sensitive receptors nearby and the surrounding areas.

Completing the required analyses, as well as developing and implementing the appropriate changes, is anticipated to take at least several months from the date of this report.

AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PERRIS, COUNTY OF

RIVERSIDE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING A

TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON APPROVAL,

ESTABLISHMENT AND EXPANSION OF

WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION USES FOR AN
ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR; AND MAKING FINDINGS
RELATED THERETO.

WHEREAS, the City of Perris (“City”) is a general law city within the State of California; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents; and WHEREAS, Government Code Sections 36934, 36937, and 65858 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety, and to prohibit any use that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and WHEREAS, there are many pending applications for development projects for warehousing and distribution land uses in the City, and many more that have received approvals under the City’s Subdivision Ordinance (Title 18 of the Perris Municipal Code) and/or Development Code (Title 19 of the Perris Municipal Code), but have not yet obtained grading or building permits; and WHEREAS, “warehousing and distribution,” as used and referred to in this Ordinance, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Perris Municipal Code Section 19.08.010, which is as follows: “a building or premises in which goods, merchandise or equipment are stored for eventual distribution”; and WHEREAS, the City is considering or studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time, several General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals to adopt new or amended land use and zoning regulations and development standards that would be applicable to warehousing and distribution developments and uses, to ensure the protection of public peace, health, safety, and welfare, environmental quality, and environmental justice in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, the development and operation of warehousing and distribution uses in the City, if allowed to continue without sufficient regulation, will increase the risk of negative public health and safety outcomes and other adverse impacts in the City, including the following:
• The exacerbation of pollution levels, including emissions of diesel particulate matter and nitrogen oxides (which are pollutants linked to respiratory diseases and other health problems), caused by the heavy trucking activity that is associated with warehousing and distribution uses, and therefore health impacts in already overburdened, vulnerable communities that have been identified by the California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) as “disadvantaged” in its Cal Enviro Screen model;
655
ORDINANCE NO. Page 2
• Trucks affect air quality, as their emissions are many times those of passenger vehicles, and thus are also likely to have concomitant health effects. Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, including both gaseous and solid material. The solid material in diesel exhaust is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM). DPM is considered a subset of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). Most PM2.5 derives from combustion, such as use of gasoline and diesel fuels by motor vehicles, burning of natural gas to generate electricity, and wood burning. DPM is most concentrated adjacent to freeways, truck routes, and roadways traveled by trucks. PM2.5 is the size of ambient particulate matter air pollution most associated with adverse health effects of the air pollutants that have ambient air quality standards. These health effects include cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, and premature death; • Increased noise and vibration impacts on adjacent residential and commercial properties.

Trucks also cause noise and vibration, which cause disturbances and potential damage to businesses and homes that are near truck route roads. The City needs to conduct the appropriate studies to identify these impacts and provide recommendations for mitigation measures. The City will review mitigation measures that may include, but are not limited to, sound walls and double pane window retrofits along truck routes. In addition, proper road maintenance helps reduce vibrations caused by heavy vehicles traveling on roads adjacent to sensitive uses. City will study on how to improve road conditions adjacent to residential uses; • Increased public safety risks, including pollution and traffic collision risks, for drivers of passenger vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists, including school-age children traveling to and from public schools and residents traveling to and from adjacent public parks and facilities; • Damage to roadways due to the weight of the vehicles associated with warehousing and distribution uses in stop-and-go traffic, causing distress on pavement, resulting in premature deterioration and degradation, leading to potholes and pavement failure; • Truck traffic increases the maintenance costs on roads for the City. For example, a 1999 study for the City of Irwindale concluded that one loaded mining truck causes street damage equivalent to that caused by 10,000 automobiles. City of Irwindale Mining Reclamation Impact Study, prepared by Greystone, March 1999, Vol. I, p. iii @ 2.a., and Vol. II., pp. 25-29. A loaded mining truck weighs approximately 80,000 pounds, which is comparable to the average weight of loaded 18-wheeler trucks that commonly traverse the City to and from logistics facilities. This finding was also made as early as the late 1970s in the federal Comptroller General’s Report to the Congress, Excessive Truck Weight: An Expensive Burden We Can No Longer Afford. The City intends to further research this issue and determine the impacts of specific to the type of truck traffic (e.g., drayage, intermodal, long haul) on the types of roads in the City;
• Damage to City streets and property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported), such as street lights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.; • Traffic congestion and reduced levels of service on public streets and at public intersections; • Increased public safety impacts from improperly over-loaded trucks; and • Mental health impacts associated with the aesthetics of large warehouse buildings, particularly when in close proximity to residences. The close proximity of warehousing and distribution uses to schools and residential uses causes a decline in aesthetic standards and visual quality to those living in the residences and going to the schools; and WHEREAS, the City has additional concerns regarding the compatibility of warehousing and distribution uses that are adjacent to sensitive receptors and residential zones, as warehousing and distribution uses oftentimes operate on a 24-hour basis and cause deteriorating air quality, health, noise, vibration, and other threats and disruptions to the peace and quiet that is necessary for the enjoyment of residential neighborhoods and efficacy of educational uses; and 656
ORDINANCE NO. Page 3
WHEREAS, warehousing and distribution uses have a detrimental impact upon the City’s residents, which are not being addressed by the City’s current ordinances and land use/zoning regulations; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to study and develop policy guidance and/or regulations to ensure there is a logical relationship between the placement of warehouses (including the areas zoned or approved for same) and the City’s designated truck routes, to avoid the deleterious effects of routing trucks past sensitive uses; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to update the City’s general plan, specific plan and Development Code regulations to further address the potential adverse effects of warehousing and distribution uses on public health, safety and welfare. Although the City has already commenced certain studies and proposals to this end, more time is needed to fully study existing and proposed regulations and the potential adverse impacts of warehousing and distribution developments and uses on the environment, traffic, aesthetics, and visual quality of properties within the City, make recommendations on the appropriate proposed, alternative and/or additional regulations, and ultimately to complete the measures necessary to alleviate the conditions which have led to the need for adoption, and now extension, of this moratorium; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, on December 9, 2025, the City Council unanimously adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1466, on an urgency basis, to temporarily prohibit approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution uses and the issuance of approvals, permits and entitlements for same, except as otherwise provided therein (the “Moratorium”); and WHEREAS, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1466 was enacted pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by Government Code Section 65858, and was introduced and adopted at the same meeting and effective immediately upon its adoption, and was effective for an initial 45-day period; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, on January 13, 2026, the City Council unanimously adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1470, on an urgency basis, to extend the Moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858(a) authorizes the City Council to extend the Moratorium for a further one-year period upon notice and a public hearing, upon a four-fifths vote, and upon a finding that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, building permits, development plan reviews, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d), the City Council issued its 10-day report on October 13, 2026, outlining what actions have been taken in furtherance of the goals of the moratorium. As detailed in the 10-day report, completing the necessary studies and developing and adopting the necessary regulatory modifications is anticipated to take at least several months. Therefore, an additional one year of effectiveness of the moratorium is necessary to fully address the current and immediate threat to public health and safety articulated in Interim Urgency Ordinance No’s. 1466 and 1470; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the conditions which necessitated Interim Urgency Ordinance No’s. 1466 and 1470 continue to exist, there remains a current and immediate threat to public health and safety, and the City requires more time to conduct the necessary studies and develop and adopt the necessary regulations to address that threat; and
657
ORDINANCE NO. Page 4
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires, on an urgency basis, to extend the Moratorium for an additional one year pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a); and WHEREAS, this extension of the Moratorium is pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by Government Code Section 65858(a), and may be introduced and adopted at the same meeting and be effective immediately upon adoption if passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites for this extension of the Moratorium have occurred. On October 13, 2026, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council for consideration of this extension in accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a).

NOW, THEREFORE, City Council of the City of Perris does ordain as follows:

Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are all true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of fact.

Section 2. CEQA Findings. With respect to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council finds, based on the whole administrative record, that:

A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this Ordinance does not constitute a CEQA “project”, because: (i) the whole of the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, which are required parts of the definition of “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), and because the action constitutes administrative or maintenance activities of the City, such as general policy and procedure making, which are excluded from the definition of “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a). This action merely temporarily prohibits approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution land uses (aside from those which are exempted from this Ordinance) for an additional one-year period while the City studies and considers the general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals referenced in this Ordinance, to ensure that no such uses are approved or commence which may be in conflict with such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals. The purpose of such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals is to protect public peace, health, safety, and welfare, as well as environmental quality and environmental justice, in connection with warehousing and distribution developments and uses; and B. In the event this Ordinance is deemed to constitute a CEQA “project,” it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. “Significant effect on the environment” is defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15382 as “a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance.” It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. This Ordinance merely temporarily prohibits approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution land uses (aside from those which are exempted from this Ordinance) for an additional one-year period while the City studies and considers the general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals referenced in this Ordinance, 658
ORDINANCE NO. Page 5
to ensure that no such uses are approved or commence which may be in conflict with such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals. The purpose of such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals is to protect public peace, health, safety, and welfare, as well as environmental quality and environmental justice, in connection with warehousing and distribution developments and uses.

C. Also in the event this Ordinance is deemed to constitute a CEQA “project,” it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, which exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies for the protection of the environment. This Ordinance merely temporarily prohibits approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution land uses (aside from those which are exempted from this Ordinance) for an additional one-year period while the City studies and considers the general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals referenced above, to ensure that no such uses are approved or commence which may be in conflict with such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals. The purpose of such contemplated general plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals is to protect public peace, health, safety, welfare, as well as environmental quality and environmental justice, in connection with warehousing and distribution developments and uses. No exception to this categorical exemption applies under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Section 3. Urgency Findings. The City Council further finds as follows:

A. There is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning regulations. The high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City under current regulations has caused increased truck traffic, extensive damage to local streets, adverse effects to air quality, noise and aesthetics, and other detrimental effects on public health, safety and welfare in the City as further detailed in the recitals of this Ordinance, and threatens to cause further and exacerbated effects of this nature if allowed to continue without sufficient regulation. Absent this Ordinance and new or amended regulations resulting from the General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals being studied, the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, building permits, development plan reviews, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required for the City to comply with its Zoning Ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety and welfare. The City Council also finds and declares that this Ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety against such threats.

B. The City is considering and studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time, General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals applicable to warehousing and distribution developments and uses in order to protect public health, safety and welfare from adverse impacts of same. Such proposals include the following, without limitation:

1. Comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, which was adopted in 2005, and potential associated Development Code, specific plan or zoning map changes, to ensure that industrial developments are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on adjacent uses.
659
ORDINANCE NO. Page 6

2. Development Code and specific plan text amendments to designate an expanded list or range of land uses, excluding warehousing and distribution uses, as permitted uses in the City’s industrial zones, in order to incentivize and facilitate development of such other land uses rather than development of warehousing and distribution uses.

3. General Plan Circulation Element amendment to update the City’s truck route plan in compliance with AB 98 and SB 415, along with potential Land Use Element and associated zoning changes as referenced above, so that industrial developments and their truck routes are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential areas and sensitive receptors.

C. The City needs additional time to study, develop, revise and complete the contemplated General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals before they can be adopted and implemented.

Such studies and information will help guide the City’s preparation, consideration and action upon the contemplated General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals, including by enabling the City to have a better understanding of how to best avoid negative effects of development and operation of additional warehousing and distribution uses on public health, safety and welfare.

D. The Moratorium was adopted, and is now being extended, in order to allow the City time to thoroughly study, develop, revise, and adopt General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning regulations related to development and operation of additional warehousing and distribution uses, to enable the City to adequately and appropriately protect and preserve the health, safety and welfare of the communities and residents of the City.

E. The approval, establishment or expansion of additional warehousing and distribution uses during the effectiveness of this Ordinance may be in conflict with the contemplated General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals described above, and as such there is a need to prohibit such uses and approvals temporarily to allow the City sufficient time to complete the necessary studies and take the necessary actions to protect the public health, safety and welfare as it relates to warehousing and distribution uses.

F. As a result of the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare, it is necessary to extend the Moratorium for an additional one year, resulting in a total of two years from date of effectiveness of the Moratorium as initially imposed by Interim Ordinance No. 1466, as detailed in Section 5 below. This Interim Urgency Ordinance is necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare against the current and immediate threat to same as described above.

Section 4. Authority and Effect. Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City, in order to protect public safety, health, and welfare, to adopt, and subsequently extend, an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a four-fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended in accordance with Government Code Section 65858. Government Code Section 65858(a) provides that after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and 660
ORDINANCE NO. Page 7
public hearing, the legislative body may extend the interim urgency ordinance for 10 months and 15 days, and subsequently for one year, which is the authority for this extension.

Section 5. Moratorium. During the effective period of this Ordinance, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 below, approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution uses is prohibited City-wide, and the City (including any City official, officer, employee, agent, department, commission, or legislative body) shall not issue or approve any subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, building permits, development plan reviews, or any other applicable entitlement for use for approval, establishment or expansion of any warehousing or distribution use. “Expansion” as used in this Ordinance includes any modification to an approved warehousing and distribution use that would increase the square footage of the use or constitute a major modification within the meaning of Perris Municipal Code Section 19.54.030.

Section 6. Exemptions. This Ordinance does not apply to any of the following:

A. Warehousing and distribution development projects that have a statutory development agreement with the City, a vesting tentative subdivision map approved by the City, or a grading permit or building permit approved by the City, or the resulting warehousing and distribution uses consistent with those approvals.

B. Requests or approvals for extensions of time for effectiveness of existing entitlements, permits, or approvals.

C. Requests or approvals for extensions of time for effectiveness of pending building permit applications.

D. Continued operation of lawfully-established existing warehousing and distribution uses, including minor modifications within the meaning of Perris Municipal Code Section 19.54.030 that do not increase the square footage of the use.

E. High-Cube Parcel Hubs, as described in Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition Land Use Code 156.

F. As provided in Government Code Section 66452.6(b) of the Subdivision Map Act, the time period for effectiveness of tentative maps that were approved prior to imposition of the Moratorium shall not include any period of time during which the Moratorium is in effect. Once the Moratorium is terminated, any such tentative map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time that the moratorium was imposed.

However, if the remaining time is less than 120 days, such tentative map shall be valid for 120 days following the termination of the Moratorium. This exemption is intended to be merely declaratory of the aforementioned state law and not to create or confer any rights or privileges beyond the aforementioned state law.

Section 7. Study and Development. During the effective period of this Ordinance, the City shall study, develop and consider any necessary General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning 661
ORDINANCE NO. Page 8
regulations related to warehousing and distribution developments and uses and the associated trucking activity, including (without limitation) studies on the impact to City roadway degradation associated with a high concentration of warehousing and distribution uses and studies, development or consideration of the other matters referenced in Section 3.B above, that will enable the City to adequately and appropriately protect the public peace, health, safety, and welfare, as well as environmental justice and environmental quality, in connection with such developments and uses.

Section 8. Extension; Effectiveness. The Moratorium is hereby extended for one year, effective December 9, 2026. The Moratorium, as extended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect until December 9, 2027, unless further extended in accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a). Not later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Moratorium as extended hereby, the City Council shall issue a written report as required by Government Code Section 65858(d).

Section 9. Severability. Should any provision, portion, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, portions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, and words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each provision, portion, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, clause or word hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more provisions, portions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, or words hereof may be rendered or declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 10. Publication. The Mayor shall sign this Ordinance and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published and posted pursuant to the provisions of law in this regard. [signatures on the following page]

MEETING DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBJECT: Urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on approval, establishment and expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution uses
REQUESTED ACTION: Adoption of an Urgency Ordinance Establishing a 45-day moratorium on approval, establishment and expansion of warehouse and distribution facilities within the City.

CONTACT: Kenneth Phung, Director of Development Services BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City Council at the November 18, 2025, meeting directed staff to proceed with an Urgency Ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on approval, establishment, and expansion of all industrial warehouse and distribution uses in the City of Perris except for projects with vested rights, which include a Development Agreement, Vesting Map, or grading or building permit ready to start construction. An Urgency Ordinance is now before the Council and requires a 4/5 vote. Approval of the Urgency Ordinance would pause issuance or approval of any subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, building permits, development plan reviews, or any other entitlement for use for approval, establishment, or expansion of any warehousing or distribution use. The exception would be for a Minor Modification to a vested project or an existing constructed warehouse and distribution building requesting a modification to the parking layout, interior tenant improvements, or a reduction in the building's square footage to meet a tenant's needs.

The moratorium would be temporary and would be in effect for an initial 45-day period, after which staff would bring forth an item for consideration of a potential extension, before the expiration of the initial 45 days. The initial extension period would be limited to 10 months and 15 days, and a potential second extension for a period of one year could then be considered, prior to the expiration of the first extension period. Any extension would also require a 4/5 vote, and only two extensions are permitted.

If the moratorium ordinance is adopted, the moratorium cannot apply to projects with vested rights pursuant to a Development Agreement a Vesting Map, or reliance on construction permits. To ensure the moratorium is not applied to vested projects, the proposed moratorium ordinance expressly notes that projects that have a development agreement, a vesting map, or a grading or building permit are exempt.

The Council indicated the need for the urgency ordinance citing the cumulative effects and impacts of industrial projects, of which 30 million square feet of industrial developments have already been constructed, 3.6 million square feet of industrial warehouse and distribution developments are

currently under construction, 4.3 million square feet have been approved and currently in plan check for permits, 5.6 million square feet have been approved but no plan check in process to obtain a permit, and 11.3 million square feet are in the entitlement process waiting for completion of the environmental process before the project can be considered by the Planning Commission and/or City Council.

Urgency Ordinance Legislative Findings
In calling for the Urgency Ordinance, the City Council cited that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval and proliferation of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning to regulate such uses. The high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City under current regulations have caused increased truck traffic, extensive damage to local streets, adverse effects to air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental effects on public health, safety, and welfare in the City, as further detailed in the recitals of the attached Ordinance. Therefore, without a pause to further analyze the public health, safety, and welfare, the proliferation of these uses threatens to cause further and exacerbated effects if allowed to continue without sufficient regulation.

Absent this Ordinance and new or amended regulations resulting from the General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning proposals being studied, including studies on the impact of trucking activity on city roadways, the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, grading permits, building permits, development plan reviews, or any other entitlement for use which is required for the City to comply with its Zoning Ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety and welfare.

Potential Studies While a Moratorium Is in Place
Although the City has already commenced studies and proposals to this end, more time is needed to fully study existing and proposed regulations and the potential adverse impacts of warehousing and distribution developments and uses on the environment, traffic, aesthetics, and visual quality of properties within the City. These studies, when completed, will assist staff in making recommendations on the appropriate proposed, alternative, and/or additional regulations to alleviate the conditions that have led to the need for adoption of this Ordinance.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:

On November 25, 2025, staff emailed the resident groups, including Perris Neighbors in Action and the Inland Valley Alliance for Environmental Justice, regarding the upcoming industrial moratorium.

Staff then reached out to representatives of the industrial community via email on November 26, 2025. To date, staff has not received any comments regarding this proposal.

Staff met with the industrial community group on November 20, 2025, at their request, as they wish to ask for the postponement of the industrial moratorium, as they stated the city is already working on the following amendments: 1) Modification of the industrial development standards for warehouses and distribution centers to improve development standards further when in proximity to sensitive receptors; 2) requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for any warehouse or distribution 669
01006.0005 2069062.1
center exceeding 50,000 square feet, with the City Council designated as the approval authority; 3) update to the City’s truck route plan in compliance with Assembly Bill 98, so that industrial developments are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential communities.

Although city staff is in the process of making these updates, additional time and analysis is needed.

Also, additional updates may be warranted after completion of studies on the impact on roadways and environmental effects associated with the high concentration and pace of warehouse and distribution development in Perris, which is uncommon with residential and commercial developments.

Additionally, the industrial community requested clarification on the following two notable concerns, with staff’s response:

Developer Concern 1
▪ Developer Concern: If the industrial moratorium extends past the approval period of the project, would the entitlement expire?
▪ Staff Response: To the extent extensions of time are available under applicable law, those could still be requested and approved under applicable law during the period of the moratorium.

However, the moratorium does not itself toll or extend the effective period of entitlements or allow for additional extension periods beyond what is available under applicable law, so it is possible that an entitlement could expire if the effective period of the entitlement and any/all extensions available under applicable law expire before the moratorium ends. However, the initial effective period of the moratorium is only 45 days, and no industrial projects are scheduled to expire within the next 45 days. A public hearing will be conducted prior to any extension of the moratorium beyond the initial 45-day period.

Developer Concern Number 2
▪ Developer Concern: If a project isin the plan check process and close to the issuance of a grading or building permit, which is typically valid for one year from the time of issuance, and the industrial moratorium prevents the city from issuing permits, would the plans still be valid if the Building Code or Construction regulations change, resulting in having to update the plans? ▪ Staff Response: If a pending building or engineering application would otherwise expire during the moratorium, the applicant may request an additional extension beyond the typical effectiveness of the building or engineering permit application, and the Building Official or City Engineer may act on such request in accordance with applicable law. If no such request is made, or if a request is made and is not approved under applicable law, then a new application would need to be submitted, which would be subject to the codes in effect at the time of application submittal. As noted above, the initial effective period of the moratorium is only 45 days, and a public hearing will be conducted prior to any extension of the moratorium beyond the initial 45- day period.

PUBLIC COMMENT LETTER:

Staff received a letter from the law firm Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP on December 1, 2025, stating that the Newcastle Project (e.g., DPR 22-00018), generally located at the Ellis Avenue and Case Road project, should be exempt from the moratorium, as it has already been entitled. Therefore, they are entitled to obtain building permits. However, it should be noted that since the developer has recently obtained a permit to start grading of the project site, they are considered a project with vested rights and can move forward with a permit to start building construction.

RECOMMENDATION:

City staff request that Council adopt an Urgency Ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on approval, establishment and expansion of warehouse and distribution uses within the City, which will require a 4/5 vote.

BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT: No impact to the General Fund, as costs for staff preparation of this item have been budgeted in the 2025 – 2026 Development Services Budget.

MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Issue the 10-Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium on the approval, establishment, and expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution uses, and adopt an Interim Urgency Ordinance extending the initial Moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days until December 9, 2026.

REQUESTED ACTION: Issue the 10-Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the Initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium established through Ordinance No. 1466 adopted on December 9, 2025; and
Adopt Interim Urgency Ordinance Number (Next In Order), extending a temporary moratorium on approval, establishment, and expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution uses for an additional 10 months and 15 days; and making findings related thereto.

CONTACT: Kenneth Phung, Director of Development Services BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City Council on December 9, 2025, voted 5-0 to unanimously adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1466, establishing a 45-day industrial moratorium pausing the approval, establishment, and expansion of all industrial warehouse and distribution uses in the City of Perris except for projects with vested rights, which include a Development Agreement, Vesting Map, or grading or building permit ready to start construction. The decision was made after considering public comments in support and opposition, and five (5) written public comments submitted after release of the Council staff report, of which three (3) letters were in support from the Inland Valley Alliance, the Sierra Club of San Gorgonio Chapter, and the Perris Neighbor in Action, and two (2) letters in opposition from Allen Matkins Attorney at Law on behalf of CH Realty and from the Perris Chamber of Commerce.

The next step, which is part of this agenda item, is for the Council to issue a 10-Day Report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the moratorium, as required by Government Code Section 65858(d) 10 days prior to expiration or any extension of the initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium. The proposed 10-day report is Attachment 1 to this Report. A 10-day report must be issued regardless of whether the Council decides to extend the moratorium.

Additionally, this item is for the Council to hold a public hearing and consider extending the initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a) until December 9, 2026, which requires a 4/5 vote. The proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance to extend the Moratorium is Attachment 1 to this Report. If the Council moves to approve this extension, there is a potential for one final extension for an additional year (to December 9, 2027) prior to the expiration of the moratorium, which would also require a 4/5 vote. If the Council does not approve this extension, the moratorium is scheduled to expire on January 23, 2026.

Parameters to Revisit for the Potential Extension of the Industrial Moratorium At the December 9, 2025, meeting, Councilmember Rabb suggested that all industrial warehouse and distribution uses, regardless of square footage, should be subject to the moratorium and commented that the Council could revisit the parameters for the industrial moratorium when it’s up for an extension or provide the same option. Previously, the following options were presented on December 9, 2025.

The full updated list of projects that are currently subject to and not subject to the industrial moratorium is provided in Attachment 3.

Automatic Tolling/Extension of Maps During Industrial Moratorium Under the Subdivision Map Act, a Tentative Map is generally valid for 2 years with up to six (6) available one-year extensions, for a total of up to eight (8) years. However, under the Subdivision Map Act, the time period for effectiveness of tentative maps that were approved prior to imposition of the moratorium shall not include any period of time during which the moratorium is in effect. Once the moratorium is terminated, any such tentative map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time that the moratorium was imposed. Therefore, the proposed ordinance makes clear that the effective period does not run (i.e., is tolled or paused) for the duration of the moratorium, including any extension.
675
01006.0005 2076847.1
However, for the Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit application that is generally associated with the approval of industrial warehousing and distribution development projects, there is no state statute that automatically tolls/extends the effective period of the Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit approval. Therefore, this component of any approved industrial project application will need to process an extension application while the moratorium is in place, if the effective period of the approval is scheduled to expire while the moratorium is in effect. A Development Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit approval is valid for an initial 36-month period, with a maximum of three one-year extensions (not exceeding a total of 36 months) allowed. Staff has confirmed that none of the approved Development Plan Reviews or Conditional Use Permits noted in the Table Below that are subject to the moratorium are scheduled to expire and run out of available extensions during or soon after the proposed moratorium extension period.

10-Day Report
In accordance with the California Government Code, 10 days prior to expiration or any extension of the initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium, the City Council is required to issue a 10-Day Report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of the Ordinance. The proposed report has been prepared and is included as Attachment 1. In summary, the following measures have been taken:

1. On December 9, 2025, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1468 for the modification of the industrial development standards for warehouses and distribution centers to improve development standards further when in proximity to sensitive receptors.

The Council is scheduled to consider the second reading and adoption of the ordinance on 676
01006.0005 2076847.1
January 13, 2026, with the development code amendment becoming effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

2. On December 9, 2025, the City Council additionally approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1467 for the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for any warehouse or distribution center exceeding 50,000 square feet, with the City Council designated as the approval authority. The Council is scheduled to consider the second reading and adoption of the ordinance on January 13, 2026, with the development code amendment becoming effective 30 days thereafter, on February 12, 2026.

3. On November 19, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted an Environmental Scoping Meeting on the City’s Circulation Element update to further address truck routes compliance with Assembly Bill 98, so that industrial developments are situated in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential communities. The DEIR for this update is being finalized and is anticipated to be released in January of 2026, so that the Circulation Element can be updated by mid-2026.

4. Staff has reached out to an environmental consultant and traffic consultant to quantify the impacts of the high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City compared to the relatively modest growth in commercial or multiple-family development.

The purpose of these studies is to quantify the increase in truck traffic, the extensive damage to local streets, the adverse effects on air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental impacts on public health, safety, and welfare in the City. The findings in these reports, when completed, will assist staff in determining whether further updates to the industrial development are warranted, changing roadway design standards for industrial development, establishing a fee for roadway maintenance or broadening the land use allowed in the Light Industrial and General Industrial zone for uses so that there are more permitted uses that will be less impactful on the surrounding areas.

In summary, when completed, these studies will assist staff in recommending appropriate proposed, alternative, and/or additional regulations to alleviate the conditions that led to the need for the adoption of this Ordinance.

Extension of Urgency Ordinance Legislative Findings
In adopting the initial 45-day Interim Urgency Ordinance, the City Council found that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval and proliferation of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City under its current regulations, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning ordinance regulations forsuch uses. By adopting the proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance extending the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, the City Council would be making similar findings with respect to the extension, as required by Government Code Section 65858 and detailed in the proposed ordinance.

There remains a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by continued approval, establishment and expansion of warehousing and distribution developments and uses in the City, due to the high demand for such uses and the insufficiency of the City’s current General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning regulations. The high volume and rate of development of warehousing and distribution uses in the City under current regulations have caused increased truck traffic, extensive 677
01006.0005 2076847.1
damage to local streets, adverse effects to air quality, noise, and aesthetics, and other detrimental effects on public health, safety, and welfare in the City, as further detailed in the recitals of the attached ordinance, and threatens to cause further and exacerbated effects of this nature if allowed to resume without sufficient regulation after the initial 45-day period. More time is needed for the City to analyze, develop and act upon the contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposals outlined in the ordinance, including studies on the impact of trucking activity on City roadways. Therefore, without an extension of the moratorium, the continued/resumed approval and proliferation of these uses which would be required for the City to comply with its zoning ordinance would result in that current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. The ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety against such threats.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:

On December 29, 2025, staff emailed the resident groups, including Perris Neighbors in Action and the Inland Valley Alliance for Environmental Justice, regarding the proposed industrial moratorium extension. Staff then reached out to representatives of the industrial community via email on December 30, 2025. To date, staff have not received any comments regarding this proposal.

A public hearing for the City Council’s consideration of the moratorium extension was duly noticed in accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a).

RECOMMENDATION:

City staff request that Council: (1) issue the 10 Day Report identifying the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the initial 45-day Industrial Moratorium established through Ordinance No. 1466 adopted on December 9, 2025 (Attachment 1); and (2) adopt the Interim Urgency Ordinance Number (Next in Order) Extending the Initial 45-day Moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days until December 9, 2026, on the approval, establishment, and expansion of warehouse and distribution facilities in Perris, which will require a 4/5 vote (Attachment 2).

BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT: No impact to the General Fund, as costs for staff preparation of this item have been budgeted in the 2025 – 2026 Development Services Budget.

CASE NO: Extension of Temporary Moratorium
APPLICANT: City of Perris
101 North “D” Street
Perris, CA 92570
LOCATION: Citywide
PROPOSAL: A proposal to consider adoption of an
Interim Urgency Ordinance extending Ordinance No.
1470 adopted on January 13, 2025, which imposed a ten
(10) months and fifteen (15) days moratorium until
December 9, 2026, on the approval, establishment, and
expansion of industrial warehousing and distribution
uses in the City of Perris. The proposed Ordinance
would extend the moratorium an additional one year
until December 9, 2027, in order to allow the City
additional time to study, address, and mitigate the
conditions that led to a current and imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare as provided in the
Ordinance pursuant to California Government Code
Section 65858
Furthermore, staff recommends that the City Council
issue the required report under California Government
Code Section 65858(d) at least ten (10) days before the interim ordinance expires.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The moratorium extension is proposed pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65858, which
authorizes interim urgency ordinances and extensions
thereof upon specified findings.

is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and therefore is not
subject to CEQA, pursuant to Public Resources Code
21080 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378.

Alternatively, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense
Exemption), and is categorically exempt from CEQA
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Perris, acting in its capacity as the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 2018-02 (Public Services District) of the City of Perris, California, as follows:

Section 1. That the above recitals are all true and correct.

Section 2. Written protests against the annexation of the Property to the District, or against the furnishing of specified services or the levying of a specified special tax within the District, have not been filed by fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters, or six (6) registered voters, whichever is greater, residing within the boundaries of the proposed annexation, nor by owners representing one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land proposed to be annexed to the District. All protests and objections, if any, are hereby overruled.

Section 3. The Legislative Body does declare the annexation of the Property to the existing District, to be known and designated as “Community Facilities District No. 2018-02 (Public Services District) of the City of Perris, Annexation No. 31.” The Legislative Body hereby finds and determines that all prior proceedings taken with respect to the annexation of the Property to the District were valid and in conformity with the requirements of law, including the Act. This finding is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 53325.1 of the Act.

Section 4. The boundaries and parcels of land to be annexed and in which the public services are to be provided and on which the special taxes will be levied in order to pay the costs and expenses for said public services are generally described as all that territory proposed to be annexed to the existing District as said property is shown on a map as previously approved by the 700
RESOLUTION NUMBER XXXX Page 4
Legislative Body, said map designated “Annexation Map No. 31 to Community Facilities District No. 2018-02 (Public Services District),” a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and shall remain open for public inspection. The map of the proposed boundaries of Annexation No. 31 to the District has been recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Riverside County, California in Book 99, Page 89 of the Book of Maps of Assessments and Community Facilities Districts (Document Number 2026-0277728).

Section 5. The Council finds that the services authorized to be funded by the District and paid by the special taxes levied within the District (the “Services”) shall incorporate and have the meaning given to the term “services” in Section 53313 of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as set forth in Exhibit “B” hereto are necessary to meet the increased demand put upon the City as a result of the development within Annexation No. 31.

Section 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax is hereby authorized, subject to the approval of the landowners as the eligible electors of the District, to levy annually in accordance with procedures contained in the Act, a special tax within the District, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the District, sufficient to pay for the Services and Incidental Expenses. The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the special tax within the District is described in detail in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Exhibit “A” allows each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.

Section 7. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the special tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within the District will place on the Services, on the cost of making the Services available to each parcel within the Property, and on other factors. The Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax set forth in Exhibit “A” to be reasonable. The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not based upon the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2018-02 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified on Exhibit “A,” the Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2018-02, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in Exhibit “A,” to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the District which is not delinquent or exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described herein. Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 3114.5, continuing lien to secure each levy of the special tax will attach to all nonexempt parcels within the Property and the lien shall continue in force and effect until the special tax obligation is permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with the law or until collection of the special tax by the Legislative Body ceases.

Section 8. Pursuant to Section 53325.7 and 53326 of the Act, a special election is hereby called on behalf of the District on the proposition of levying the special tax on the territory within Annexation No. 31 to the District and establishing an appropriation limit therein. The proposition relating to the District authorizing the levy of the special tax on the Property and 701
RESOLUTION NUMBER XXXX Page 5
establishing an appropriations limit shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.”
Section 9. The special election for the District on the proposition of authorizing the levy of the special tax on the Property and establishing an appropriations limit shall be held on October 13, 2026.

Section 10. It is hereby found that there were not at least twelve (12) registered voters that resided within the territory of the proposed Annexation No. 31 during each of the ninety (90) days preceding the closing of the October 13, 2026 public hearing regarding the levy of the special tax on the territory within Annexation No. 31 and establishing an appropriations limit therein and, pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act, the ballots for the special election shall be distributed by personal service, or by mail, with return postage prepaid, by the Election Official, to the landowners of record within the District as of the close of the public hearing. Each landowner shall have one (1) vote for each acre or portion thereof that he or she owns within the District, as provided in Section 53326 of the Act and may return the ballot by mail or in person to the Election Official not later than 6:30 p.m. on October 13, 2026, or 6:30 p.m. on another election day mutually agreed to by the Election Official and the landowners. In accordance with Section 53326(d) of the Act, the election shall be closed and the results certified by the Election Official as soon as all qualified electors have voted.

Section 11. If two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast upon the question of levying such special tax and establishing such appropriations limit are cast in favor of levying such special tax within the District as determined by the Legislative Body after the canvass of the returns of such election, the Legislative Body may levy such special tax within the District under the Act in the amount and for the purposes as specified in this Resolution. Such special tax may be levied only at the rate and may be apportioned only in the manner specified in this Resolution, subject to the Act, except that the special tax may be levied at a rate lower than that specified herein and the maximum annual tax rate may be lowered. Such special tax may be levied so long as it is needed to pay for the financing of the services.

Section 12. If special taxes of the District are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum special tax rate shall not be increased over time except that it may be increased by an amount not to exceed two percent (2.00%) per year to the extent permitted in the rate and method of apportionment; (ii) such tax shall be levied in perpetuity, as further described in Exhibit “A” hereto; and (iii) under no circumstances will such special tax be increased more than ten percent (10%) as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcels within the District by more than ten percent.

Section 13. In the event that a portion of the property in the District shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified in Exhibit “A” the Council shall, on behalf of the District, increase the levy to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the District which is not delinquent or exempt in order to yield the required payments, subject to the maximum tax.
702
RESOLUTION NUMBER XXXX Page 6
Section 14. The Council finds that there is not an ad valorem property tax currently being levied on property within the proposed District for the exclusive purpose of financing the provision of the same services to the territory of the District as provided by the Services.

Section 15. An appropriations limit for the District is hereby established as an amount equal to all the proceeds of the special tax collected annually and as defined by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living and changes in population.

Section 16. The Elections Official shall cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation the text of Proposition A, along with a description of the election proceedings.

The publication shall also state that only the qualified electors in the District may vote on the proposition and that the canvass of the election will take place in the office of the City Clerk following the close of the election. Pursuant to the petition and request, the publication of such notice has been waived by the property owner.

Section 17. The question of levying a special tax and establishing an appropriations limit shall constitute a single election pursuant to Sections 53325.7, 53326 and 53353 of the Act for the purpose of holding said election. Following the close of the election, the election shall be canvassed at the office of the City Clerk, 101 North “D” Street, Perris, California 92570.

During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination.

If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property and/or provide a refund to the appellant. If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has thirty (30) days in which to appeal to the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the City, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the appellant’s disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination. The CFD Administrator may charge the appellant a reasonable fee for processing the appeal.

The City may interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals. Any decision of the City will be final and binding as to all persons.

G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary or otherwise advisable to meet its financial obligations for CFD No. 2018- 02, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.

H. FUTURE ANNEXATIONS
It is anticipated that additional properties will be annexed to CFD No. 2018-02 from time to time. As each annexation is proposed, an analysis may be prepared to determine the annual cost for providing Authorized Servicesto such parcels. Based on this analysis, any parcels to be annexed, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53339 et seq. will be assigned the approximate Maximum Special Tax rates when annexed and included in Exhibit A.

BUDGET (or FISCAL) IMPACT:

At its meeting on August 25, 2026, the City Council of the City of Perris (the “City Council”), acting as Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 1-S (South Perris Public Services) (the “District”), adopted Resolution No. 6830 (“Resolution of Intention”), Declaring its Intention to Annex Certain Territory to the District and setting the date of the public hearing to October 13, 2026 as the date for conducting the hearing in connection with the annexation of territory to the District. These actions were taken, as required by law, pursuant to petitions submitted to the property owners (the “Owners”) of the territory proposed for annexation to the District. The Owners, pursuant to the petitions submitted concurrently with the Resolution of Intention, submitted a waiver concurrently herewith, waiving certain time periods and noticing requirements required by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“the Act”) and the Elections Code of the State of California.

The holding of the Public Hearing and adopting of the resolutions submitted with this report and the conduct of this election will complete the annexation of territory to the District.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Perris, acting in its capacity as the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 1-S (South Perris Public Services) of the City of Perris, California, as follows:

Section 1. That the above recitals are all true and correct.

Section 2. Written protests against the annexation of the Property to the District, or against the furnishing of specified services or the levying of a specified special tax within the District, have not been filed by fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters, or six (6) registered voters, whichever is greater, residing within the boundaries of the proposed annexation or within the existing District, nor by owners representing one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land proposed to be annexed to the District or of the existing District. All protests and objections, if any, are hereby overruled.

Section 3. The Legislative Body does declare the annexation of the Property to the existing District, to be known and designated as “Community Facilities District No. 1-S (South Perris Public Services) of the City of Perris, Annexation No. 17.” The Legislative Body hereby finds and determines that all prior proceedings taken with respect to the annexation of the Property to the District were valid and in conformity with the requirements of law, including the Act.

RESOLUTION NUMBER XXXX Page 4
open for public inspection. The map of the proposed boundaries of Annexation No. 17 to the District has been recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of Riverside County, California in Book 99, Page 88 of the Book of Maps of Assessments and Community Facilities Districts (Document Number 2026-0277727).

Section 5. The Council finds that the Services, generally described as fire protection and suppression services, and ambulance and paramedic services, including all furnishings, equipment and supplies related thereto; police protection services, including, but not limited to, criminal justice services, including all furnishings, equipment and supplies related thereto; park maintenance services, including all furnishings, equipment and supplies related thereto, as set forth in Exhibit “B” hereto, are necessary to meet the increased demand put upon the City as a result of the development within the District.

Section 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax is hereby authorized, subject to the approval of the landowners as the eligible electors of the District, to levy annually in accordance with procedures contained in the Act, a special tax within the District, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the District, sufficient to pay for the Services and Incidental Expenses. The rate and method of apportionment and manner of collection of the special tax within the District is described in detail in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Exhibit “A” allows each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.

Section 7. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the special tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within the District will place on the Services, on the cost of making the Services available to each parcel within the Property, and on other factors. The Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax set forth in Exhibit “A” to be reasonable. The special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not based upon the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 1-S shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified on Exhibit “A,” the Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 1-S, cause the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in Exhibit “A,” to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the District which is not delinquent or exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described herein. The obligation to pay special taxes may be prepaid as set forth in Exhibit “A.” Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 3114.5, continuing lien to secure each levy of the special tax will attach to all nonexempt parcels within the Property and the lien shall continue in force and effect until the special tax obligation is permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with the law or until collection of the special tax by the Legislative Body ceases.

Section 8. Pursuant to Section 53325.7 and 53326 of the Act, a special election is hereby called on behalf of the District on the proposition of levying the special tax on the territory within Annexation No. 17 to the District and establishing an appropriations limit therein. The proposition relating to the District authorizing the levy of the special tax on the Property and 729
RESOLUTION NUMBER XXXX Page 5
establishing an appropriations limit shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.”
Section 9. The special election for the District on the proposition of authorizing the levy of the special tax on the Property and establishing an appropriations limit shall be held on October 13, 2026.

Section 10. It is hereby found that there were not at least twelve (12) registered voters that resided within the territory of the proposed Annexation No. 17 during each of the ninety (90) days preceding the closing of the October 13, 2026 public hearing regarding the levy of the special tax on the territory within Annexation No. 17 and establishing an appropriations limit therein and, pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act, the ballots for the special election shall be distributed by personal service, or by mail, with return postage prepaid, by the Election Official, to the landowners of record within the District as of the close of the public hearing. Each landowner shall have one (1) vote for each acre or portion thereof that he or she owns within the District, as provided in Section 53326 of the Act and may return the ballot by mail or in person to the Election Official not later than 6:30 p.m. on October 13, 2026, or 6:30 p.m. on another election day mutually agreed to by the Election Official and the landowners. In accordance with Section 53326(d) of the Act, the election shall be closed and the results certified by the Election Official as soon as all qualified electors have voted.

Second: Levy on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property the amount calculated above. No Special Tax shall be levied on Exempt Property.

It shall be the burden of the landowner to correct any errors in the determination of the Assessor’s Parcels subject to the tax and their Special Tax assignments.

If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any by the CFD Administrator, the landowner believes such error still exists, such person may file a written notice with the City Manager or designee of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon the receipt of such notice, the City Manager or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal.
