Document Description
The proposed project would be amendment to the Meridian (formerly March Business Center) Specific Plan. The Meridian Specific Plan (aka Meridian) is a business park located in the northwestern portion of Riverside County, California. Meridian is situated west of I-215 and south of Alessandro Boulevard, on land that was formerly a part of the March Air Force Base (MAFB). The environmental consequences of the Meridian Specific Plan were disclosed, together with approved mitigation measures, in the March Business Center Focused EIR (February 2003) (SCH# 2002071089). The focused EIR provided a Project level environmental review. Following FEIR certification and permitting, development commenced on the 669-acre North Campus area of Meridian, which is located on the west side of I-215, to the south of Alessandro Boulevard and to the north of Van Buren Boulevard. Numerous parcels have been developed and occupied since 2003, while others are in various stages of development.
The previous focused EIR for the Meridian Specific plan was a Project level review. The SEIR prepared for the proposed Amendment will also provide a project-level review of environmental impacts associated with the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. The proposed Amendment is limited to a subset of the lots contained in the Meridian North Campus area; no changes are proposed in the South Campus. The Amendment consists of the following changes, revisions, and new information.
