considerable and significant GHG emissions contribution even after the incorporation of mitigation measures.

In addition to the GHG -specific mitigation measures, the City shall also require the applicant to implement Mitigation Measures AIR-2C, Reduce Light-Duty Vehicle Trip Emissions, AIR-2D/TRA- 1, Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan, and AIR -2E, Reduce Truck Trip Emissions, which would increase the amount of passenger vehicle and truck EV charging infrastructure installed at the Project site and reduce employee trips and associated VMT by approximately 5% (DEIR page

4.8-39).

The EIR recommended the following mitigation measure s in an attempt to reduce these greenhouse gas emission impacts to less than significant levels:

MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact GHG- 1 above).

MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact GHG-1 above).

MM-AIR-2C: Reduce Light-duty Vehicle Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).

MM-AIR-2D: Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan (SAME AS TRA-1). (see Impact AIR-1 above).

MM-AIR-2E: Reduce Truck Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).

Finding:

Even with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, cumulative greenhouse gas emissions of the Project would not be reduced to less than significant levels and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required. Impacts are significant and unavoidable.

6 ALTERNATIVES

This section contains a discussion of the alternatives considered and rejected in the El Camino Project DEIR, including the No Project – No Development; Expand Existing Facility (Alternative 1); Reduced Intensity (Alternative 2); and Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential/Office)(Alternative 3). For alternative locations, “only locations that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project need be considered for inclusion in the EIR” (Section 15126.6(f)(2)(A)). The significant impacts of the proposed Project (NOx and GHG emissions) are based on the type and size of the proposed use so this project on any other site would still result in significant impacts identified in the EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15126.6(a), this EIR does not evaluate every conceivable alternative. A feasible range of alternatives that will allow decision-makers to make a reasoned choice and that meet most of the Project’s guiding principles has been evaluated.

Project Objectives

The Project is intended to implement the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The purpose of this Project is to implement the vision laid out in the Project objectives. The Project would generally increase the City’s production capacity and furth er fortify the economic base of the City. It would also revitalize a portion of the City with new and renovated industry and production. The Project is proposed to be developed to accomplish the following objectives:

Objective 1: Facilitate the continued operation of the existing distribution facility with expanded operations and employment capacity.

Objective 2: Redevelop an existing industrial site with modern and sustainable facilities, including large -scale buildings, intricate manufacturing processes, and large employment opportunities.

Objective 3: Develop and operate an attractive state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facility in the City that meets industry standards to be competitive with similar facilities in the region.

Objective 4: Maximize the efficiency of the existing operations during the expansion process by providing interim manufacturing steps within the same building envelope.

Objective 5: Develop and operate a production and bottling facility that positively contributes to the local economy through new capital investment and the creation of new employment opportunities, including opportunities for highly-trained workers.

Objective 6: Develop an industrial and manufacturing facility that is in close proximity to Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and other major transportation arterial roadways, to support the production of consumer goods and the distribution of manufactured goods throughout the region.

Objective 7: Implement a microgrid energy production system via cogeneration at an existing manufacturing site to minimize manufacturing waste and to reduce the demand on existing public services and systems while employing carbon -reducing technologies and reduce the f acility’s potential climate impact.

Selection of Alternatives

To provide a basis for further understanding of the environmental effects of a proposed project and possible approaches to reducing its identified significant impacts, the CEQA Guidelines require an EIR to also “describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives.” In addition to the No Project-No Development Alternative, which is essentially existing conditions on the site at the time the NOP was issued, the following three alternatives were selected for detailed evaluation in comparison to the proposed Project:

Alternative 1 - Expand Existing Facility. This alternative would almost double the area of the existing beverage distribution facility to 400,000 square feet for new non -residential uses and provide beverage bottling in addition to and in conjunction with the current distribution facility. It would have no residential units and would allow the existing beverage warehouse/distribution building to continue operation. This plan would utilize surface parking and the new building would have a maximum height of approximately 35 -40 feet. The land not nee ded for the new building footprint or parking would be landscaped with walkways for employees and possibly public use if such areas were created along the boundaries of the site (i.e., along adjacent roadways). This alternative would also include use/reuse of the existing warehouse on the Phase 2 property. This alternative includes a new CVWD well but not cogeneration.

Alternative 2 - Reduced Intensity. This alternative would develop about 540,000 square feet of light industrial (non-residential) use, which is approximately 30% less new building area compared to the proposed Project. This plan would have no residential units but require demolition of the existing beverage distribution facility. This plan would eliminate the proposed parking structure and use the remaining non -built area of the site for surface parking. This plan would have landscaping and outdoor use area s for employees consistent with the City General Plan and Development Code requirements. This alternative includes cogeneration and a new CVWD well.

Alternative 3 - Mixed Use (C/R/O). This alternative would develop 675,000 square feet of new office and commercial uses on the first two floors of three new four -story buildings on the site (commercial on ground floor and offices on the 2nd floor). This plan would also have 270 residential units on the top two floors of the three new buildings. The remainder of the site would have covered and uncovered surface parking, landscaping, and employee and tenant and public use areas on the remainder of the site (play equipment, pickleball courts, walkways, dog park, etc.).

The site would be developed according to the General Plan and Development Code requirements for the site with a small internal street east off Haven Avenue visually dividing the property which would be consistent with the development code and general plan block network standards and policies. This alternative is consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation (21st Century Employment District) and the existing zoning classification (ME2). While there are other possible variations of land plans that meet the General Plan and zoning designations, this one was selected as a reasonable alternate land plan for evaluation in the EIR.

Evaluation of Alternatives

Substantial Evidence:

No Project Alternative

The No Project Alternative represents existing conditions on the site and would have no impacts or less than significant impacts compared to those of the proposed Project due to the fact there would be no new development and only a continuation of uses under this Alternative, and it would result in no significant and unavoidable impacts. It would also not achieve any of the Project Objectives which would involve some type of new development on the site.

Alternative 1: Expand Existing Facility

DEIR Section 5.5 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:

Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.

DEIR Section 5.5 also c oncluded that Alternative 1 would have the following reduced and less than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project since it involves less intense development: Aesthetics; Air Quality (health risks, odors) ; Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality ; Land Use and Planning ; P opulation, Housing, and Employment; Noise and Vibration ; Public Services; Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems ; Transportation; and Wildfire

Alternative 1 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative NOx emissions) ; and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Alternative 2: Reduced Intensity

DEIR Section 5.6 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:

Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.

DEIR Section 5.6 also concluded that Alternative 2 would have the following reduced and less than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project since it involves less intense development: Aesthetics; Air Quality (health risks, odors) ; Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality ; Land Use and Planning ; P opulation, Housing, and Employment; Noise and Vibration ; Public Services; Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems ; Transportation; and Wildfire

Alternative 2 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative NOx emissions) ; and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Revised September 24, 2025
Alternative 3: Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential/Office)

DEIR Section 5.7 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:

Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.

DEIR Section 5.7 also concluded that Alternative 3 would have the following reduced and less than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project based on the analysis of the mix of land use proposed for this alternative (i.e., commercial, office, and residential): Aesthetics; Air Quality (health risks, odors) ; Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials ; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning ; Population, Housing, and Employment ; Public Services ; Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems; Transportation; and Wildfire.

Alternative 3 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative VOC, NOx, CO, PM10, and PM 2.5 emissions); Greenhouse Gas Emissions ; and Noise and Vibration (from increased vehicular traffic)

Meeting Project Objectives

DEIR Section 5.9 indicated the No Project Alternative does not meet the Project Objectives since it involves no development. Alternatives 1 and 2 do not meet the Project Objectives to nearly the same degree as the proposed Project because they do not provide sufficient additional space to adequately manufacture, bottle, and distribute the planned beverages on the scale envisioned by the Project. In addition, Alternative 3 does not meet the Objectives of the Project because it proposes land uses that are consistent with the General Pla n and zoning but do not provide for expanded beverage distribution and new bottling capabilities which is proposed by the Project.

Environmentally Superior Alternative

The No Project Alternative eliminates the significant impacts of the Project, so it is environmentally superior to the Project but it does not achieve any of the Project Objectives. Therefore, one of the development alternatives must be identified as an environmentally superior alternative as well.

Alternative 1 – Expand Existing Facility, reduces potential impacts of the Project to the greatest extent practical although it does not eliminate or reduce either of the significant and unavoidable impacts of the Project (air quality and greenhouse gas em issions) to less than significant levels.

Alternative 2 also reduces impacts of the proposed Project but not nearly to the same degree as Alternative 1 and also does not eliminate either of the significant impacts of the Project. In addition, Alternative 3 would likely result in significant noise impacts due to its substantial increase in vehicular traffic so it would result in three significant and unavoidable impacts compared to the two significant impacts of Alternatives 1 and 2 and the proposed Project.

Alternatives 1 and 2 do not meet the Project Objectives to nearly the same degree as the proposed Project because they do not provide sufficient space to create a unified beverage manufacturing, bottling, and distribution facility as envisioned by the proposed Project. Alternative 3 does not meet the Objectives of the Project because it proposes a mix of land uses that do not include a larger beverage bottling and distribution facility as included in the proposed Project.

City of Rancho Cucamonga
For these reasons, The EIR determined that Alternative 1 – Expand Existing Facility, is the Environmentally Superior Alternative to the proposed Project.

Findings:

DEIR Section 5.10 found Alternative 1 to be environmentally superior to the Project although it did not eliminate or reduce either of the significant impacts of the Project (NOx and greenhouse gas emissions) to less than significant levels. In addition, Alternative 1 does not meet the Project Objectives to nearly the same degree as the proposed Project because it does not provide sufficient additional space to adequately manufacture, bottle, and distribute the planned beverages on the scale envisioned by the Project or needed for the existing facility to operate at peak efficiency. For these reasons, the City determines that Alternative 1 is less desirable than the proposed Project and therefore rejects the alternative per Public Resources Code § 21081(a)(3); CEQA Guidelines, §15091(a)(3).

7 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS

CEQA requires that a Lead Agency balance the benefits of a project against its adverse and unavoidable effects in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse effects, those effects may be considered “acceptable” pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15093(a). CEQA requires that a Lead Agency support, in writing, the specific reasons for considering a project acceptable when significant impacts are infeasible to mitigate. Those reasons must be based on sub stantial evidence in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or elsewhere in the administrative record pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15093(b). The Lead Agency’s written reasons are referred to as a Statement of Overriding Considerations. For those significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance, the Lead Agency is required to find that the specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the significant impacts on t he environment.

Regarding a Statement of Overriding Considerations, Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines provides the following:

1. CEQA requires the decision -making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits including region -wide or statewide environmental benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable."

2. When the lead agency approves a project that will result in the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the Final EIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. The statement of overriding considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record.

3. If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the statement should be included in the record of the project approval and should be mentioned in the Notice of Determination. This statement does not substitute for, and shall be in addition to, findings required pursuant to Section 15091.

The City will approve the El Camino Project and has prepared a Final EIR that satisfies the requirements of CEQA. The following adverse impacts of the project are considered significant and unavoidable based on the analysis in the Draft EIR (DEIR), Final EIR (FEIR), and the Findings of Fact.
• Impact AIR-1: Conflict with or Obstruct Implementation of Applicable Air Quality Plans because it would exceed the growth assumption of the 20 22 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions would exceed SCAQMD’s regional threshold, thereby impeding AQMP attainment. (Regional operational and combined phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction).

• Impact AIR-2: Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of non-attainment criteria pollutants for which the project region is in non -attainment (including NOx). (Regional operational and combined Phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction).

City of Rancho Cucamonga

• Impact AIR-5: Cause adverse substantial adverse cumulative impacts with respect to air quality (Cumulative Impact from NOx operational emissions).

• Impact GHG-1: Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.

• Impact GHG -3: Cause a substantial adverse cumulative impact with respect to greenhouse gas emissions (Cumulative Impact).

The City has determined that the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified above are acceptable because those impacts are outweighed by the economic, social, technological, and other benefits of the Project, listed below.

• The project will maintain the City’s economic viability and productivity over the long term by encouraging efficient and sustainable use of the overall site, a portion of which at present is vacant.

• The project increases an employment generating use thereby increasing employment opportunities within Rancho Cucamonga.

• The project provides for expanded and comprehensive siting of an important employer and business to help sustain a strong local economy, with design qualities that contribute to its success.

• The project will expand a n industrial and manufacturing facility with ready access to Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and other major transportation arterial roadways, to support the production of consumer goods and the distribution of manufactured goods throughout the region.

• The project provides for the development and maintenance of a citywide bicycle network of off -street bike paths, off-street sidewalks, and on-street bike lanes, including along Haven Avenue, 6th Street, 7th Street, and Utica Avenue.

• The project proportionally supports a connected, balanced, integrated, safe, and multi - modal transportation system that accommodates all travel options.

• The project promotes the use of transit within the City as a means of reducing local traffic congestion, achieving greenhouse gases reduction targets, and connecting the community physically and socially.

• The project includes e nergy efficiency and conservation systems and measures that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

• The project will Implement a microgrid energy production system via cogeneration at an existing manufacturing site to minimize manufacturing waste and to reduce the demand on existing public services and systems while employing carbon -reducing technologies and reduce the facility’s potential climate impacts.

• The project will increase the potential for beverage manufacturing as a revenue- generating land use for the City.

The City Council hereby finds that the foregoing benefits provided to the public through the approval of the project outweigh the identified significant adverse environmental impacts of the project that cannot be mitigated. The City Council finds that each of the Project benefits separately and individually outweighs all of the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in the EIR and therefore finds those impacts to be acceptable. The City Council further finds that no feasible alternative exists that both would provide all of the foregoing benefits to the public and reduce environmental impacts when compared to the Project.
