Document Description
The Project site is located on the south side of Alessandro Boulevard, east of Merwin Street, and north of Cactus Avenue in southeast Moreno Valley, Riverside County, California and comprises approximately 100 acres of vacant undeveloped land. The land uses surrounding the Project site includes residential, agricultural, and open space uses. The proposed Project site is located near single-family residential uses to the west and south; agricultural lands to the west, north and east; and natural open space to the southeast. The Project includes the following discretionary actions under consideration by the City of Moreno Valley: • PEN23-0153 (General Plan Amendment) would amend the City of Moreno Valley General Plan Land Use Map to change the current land use designations from “R2 Residential” to “Business Park/Light Industrial” and “R5 Residential,” “R10 Residential,” and “Hillside Residential” to “R20 Residential” and “Parks/Open Space.” • PEN23-0154 (Change of Zone) would amend the City of Moreno Valley Zoning Map to change the current zoning from “Residential Agriculture 2 District (RA2)” to “Light Industrial (LI)” and “Residential 5 District (R5),” “Residential 10 District (R10),” and “Hillside Residential District” to “Residential 20 District (R20)” and “Open Space District (OS).” • PEN23-0152 (Plot Plan) provides a development plan for the development of an approximately 991,047 SF logistics building including 9,932 SF of office space on approximately 60 acres of the Project site. The logistics building site would include 181 truck trailer stalls at the northern and southern portions of the building, a total of 150 dock high door positions, and approximately 321 auto stalls (parking) on the west side of the building. • PEN23-0156 (Tentative Parcel Map) proposes a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for the creation of two parcels for the logistics component and a future multi-family residential component. Note that the analysis in the EIR will be based on 1,100,000 SF with associated office space and other on-site infrastructure.
