4 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose and Background This Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street (EIR No ), which was certified by the Perris City Council on August 28, 2018, has been prepared by the ( City ) in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, et seq.) ( CEQA ), the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regulations, Title 14, Chapter et seq.) to address minor changes to the Project evaluated in EIR No (the EIR) related to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Case No. PLN Specifically, this Addendum analyzes the effects associated with the operation of Coronado Stone. Coronado Stone is a manufacturer of architectural stone veneer, thin brick, tile, and precast products. On August 28, 2018, in addition to certifying EIR No , the Perris City Council approved Specific Plan Amendment No (to the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan), Tentative Parcel Map (TPM No ), and Development Plan Review (DPR) for the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street project. This approval allows the development of two industrial buildings encompassing a total of 1,077,230 square feet (sf) on approximately 55 acres at the southeast corner of Perris Boulevard and Markham Street (Figure 1 Approved Project Site). Building 1 was approved for an approximately 1,016,030 sf high cube warehouse and Building 2 was approved for an approximate 61,200 sf general light industrial building as shown on Figure 2 Approved Project. The Project evaluated in the EIR also included the following on- and off-site recycled water, potable water, and wastewater improvements: extending a recycled water pipeline along the Approved Project site frontage within Perry Street or Markham Street; construction of approximately one-half mile of 8-inch diameter domestic (potable) water pipeline in Perry Street to connect to the terminus of an existing water pipeline; two sanitary sewer connections to existing 10-inch diameter sanitary sewer mains within Markham Street and Perris Boulevard, near the northeast and southwest corners of the Approved Project site, respectively. With regard to drainage, the Approved Project included the construction of subsurface storm to direct all on-site stormwater and nuisance runoff in subsurface storm drains to two water quality treatment basins located on the northern edge of the Approved Project Site as shown on Figure 2 Approved Project. The basins will be designed to drain within 48 hours and will provide the volume needed to accommodate the Approved Project s discharge. The Approved Project will provide improvements to Markham Street and Perry Boulevard. On Markham Street from Perris Boulevard to Johnson Street the Approved Project will provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements on its southern side and 14 additional feet of asphalt. On Perry Street along the Project site s frontage, the Approved Project will provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements on its northern side and 36 feet of asphalt. In addition to the street improvements described above, the Approved Project will be subject to the City s standard condition of approval (COA) requiring Class 2 bike lanes on Perris Boulevard, Markham Street, and Redlands Avenue 1

7 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR 1.2 CEQA Requirements for Use of an Addendum When a lead agency has already prepared an EIR, CEQA mandates that "no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report shall be required by the lead agency or any responsible agency, unless one or more of the following events occurs: (a) substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the environmental impact report; (b) substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in the environmental impact report; (c) new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the environmental impact report was certified as complete, becomes available." (Cal. Pub. Res. Code, ). State CEQA Guidelines clarifies that a subsequent EIR or supplement to an EIR is only required when "substantial changes" occur to a project or the circumstances surrounding a project, or "new information" about a project implicates "new significant environmental effects" or a "substantial increase in the severity of previously significant effects." When only some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary and none of the conditions described in Public Resources Code or of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR are met, CEQA allows the lead agency to prepare and adopt an addendum. (CEQA Guidelines, 15164(a).) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15164(a), this Addendum is the appropriate environmental documentation for the proposed CUP Case No. PLN Since the August 28, 2018 certification of the EIR, there have been no substantial changes that would affect the analysis, no substantial changes to the circumstances under which the project was undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance that would require subsequent environmental review under CEQA or CEQA Guidelines The City has reviewed the Modified Project in light of the requirements defined within the CEQA Guidelines and the analysis contained in Section 3 of this Addendum, and determined that none of the above conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR apply. 4

8 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Section 2 Modified Project Description The Modified Project is CUP PLN (the CUP ) for Coronado Stone. Coronado Stone is a manufacturer of architectural stone veneer, thin brick, tile, and precast products. Coronado Stone has been in business since 1959 and currently operates seven manufacturing plants nationwide. Coronado Stone opened its Perris facility at 2770 N. Perris Boulevard in Coronado Stone is being forced to relocate from its current facility as a result of the planned widening of Placentia Avenue. Coronado Stone proposes to relocate their existing operations to an approximately eight (8) acre-site located on the easternmost portion of the Approved Project Site as shown on Figure 3 Modified Project Site. Coronado Stone currently employs 130 people at its current facility. Normal operating hours are from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, with shortened hours often being worked on Saturday. Coronado Stone proposes to conduct activities that are the same, or similar to its current operations, which includes: manufacturing pre cast concrete based wall veneer products; manufacturing rubber based molds to be used in the wall veneer manufacturing process; outdoor storage of bulk aggregates and finished goods; silo storage of Portland cement used in the manufacturing process; 1 daily shipping of finished goods via a company-owned fleet of tractor/trailers and straight trucks, as well as contract carriers arranged by out of area customers; recycling of defective products by grinding concrete for reuse in manufacturing process; 2 and maintenance of the company owned fleet, forklifts and yard equipment. The grinding of defective products will occur outside approximately twice a week. The materials to be ground are placed on a conveyor belt and fed into an electric-powered jaw crusher. Because outdoor storage is a component of the Modified Project, a conditional use permit is required by the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan (PVCCSP). The site plan for CUP PLN is shown on Figure 4 Modified Project Site Plan. The manufacturing (production) and office functions will take place within an approximately 62,560 sf building. The outdoor storage, silo storage, and recycling of defective products will take place outside north of the proposed building. Employee parking will be located between Perry Street and the building. Coronado Stone anticipates an increase in the number of people employed in Perris, both production and office staff, after the business relocates into the proposed larger facility.. 1 Refer to Attachment A for the specification sheet for the silos. The Modified Project includes two Model 1080 silos. 2 Refer to Attachment A for the specification sheet for the crusher. 5

11 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR In addition to the operations described (on the pages preceding Figures 3 and 4), the Modified Project proposes to increase the size of Building 2 as shown on Figure 2 from 61,200 sf to 62,560 sf. For purposes of the Traffic Memorandum prepared to support this Addendum (included as Attachment A), Building 1 is evaluated as a 1,016,030 sf 3 high cube warehouse. Additional changes to the Approved Project include adding an entrance on Markham Street and Perry Street to provide separate access to the Modified Project site as shown on Figure 4 3 The sizes for Building 1 and Building 2 represent the largest proposed sizes so as to accommodate possible shifting in square footage as plans are finalized. The actual sizes of these buildings will likely be smaller. 8

12 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Section 3 Environmental Impact Analysis 3.1 Effects Found Not to be Significant During Preparation of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) The Initial Study prepared and circulated for public review regarding the Duke Warehouse at Perris Avenue and Markham Street concluded that the Project would not result in significant impacts to the all or some of the thresholds for the following environmental issues: Aesthetics, Agricultural and Forestry Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing, Public Services, and Recreation Aesthetics Threshold: Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Threshold: Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? Threshold: Would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. Land uses adjacent to and surrounding the Approved Project site consist of warehousing development and vacant land, which are consistent with existing and planned development within the area. The Approved Project site is not a scenic vista, and the Approved Project s construction will not block views of a scenic vista. The closest scenic resource is 20 miles east of the Approved Project site. (IS, p. 25.) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in Initial Study, the certified EIR and approved by the City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with scenic vista, scenic resources, or visual character would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The Approved Project would result in a new source of light; however, this potential impact will be reduced to a less than significant level through the City s standard project review and approval process and implementation of mitigation measure MM AES 1. (IS, pp ; DEIR, p. 4-1.) 9

13 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR MM AES 1: Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Project developer shall provide evidence to the City that any temporary nighttime lighting installed for security purposes shall be downward facing and hooded or shielded to prevent security light spillage outside of the staging area or direct broadcast of security light into the sky. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the Initial Study, certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with creating a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new or no more severe significant impacts, no additional mitigation is required Agriculture and Forestry Resources Threshold: Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? Threshold: Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? Threshold: Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? Threshold: Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Threshold: Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project site is identified as Farmland of Local Importance by the Farmland Mapping Management Program (FMMP) of the California Resources Agency and does not contain any Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared by the FMMP. The Approved Project site is not covered under a Williamson Act Contract. The Approved Project site is designated as Light Industrial and Business Park by the PVCCSP No forest land or timberland is present on the Approved Project site or within the City. Implementation of the Approved Project would not result in the conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or the conversion of forest land to non-forest use. (IS, pp ) 10

14 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with agricultural resources would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Air Quality Threshold: Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project s uses are not common sources of odor complaints as outlined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Odors occurring from construction equipment exhaust would be limited to the immediate vicinity of the Approved Project site and are short-term. The area immediately surrounding the Approved Project site is dominated by industrial land uses and vacant land and does not contain any sensitive receptors. (IS, p. 30.) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with creating objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Biological Resources Threshold: Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Threshold: Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? 11

15 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. No Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Program (MSHCP) riparian, riverine or vernal pool resources were documented within or immediately adjacent to the Approved Project site or off-site study area. No features regulated by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife and United States Army Corps of Engineers were documented within or immediately adjacent to the Approved Project site or off-site study area. (IS, pp ) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with adversely affecting any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community, or effecting federally protected wetlands would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? Threshold: Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project site is not located adjacent to extensive native open space habitats and does not represent a wildlife corridor between large open space habitats. The Project site and adjacent agricultural/ruderal land is bordered on all sides by existing road-networks, existing industrial development, and vacant land. The Approved Project applicant will be required to pay applicable MSHCP fees pursuant to Ordinance No and will adhere to General Plan policies for the protection of biological resources. Through compliance with the MSHCP and Ordinance No. 1123, development within the PVCCSP area will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with wildlife movement or conservation plan conflicts would occur. 12

16 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Geology and Soils Threshold: Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Threshold: Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Threshold: Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in onsite or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? Threshold: Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. There are no mapped Alquist-Priolo Zones within the City and there are no County of Riversidedesignated special status studies fault zones. The Approved Project site is located approximately 7.2 miles west of the San Jacinto Fault Zone and approximately 7.6 miles west of the nearest County Fault Zone. Although seismic activity is known to exist throughout Southern California, there are no known faults through or near the site that would result in substantial effects. The Approved Project was designed according to the current California Building Codes, which require structures to be designed to meet or exceed the seismic safety standards set forth therein. The liquefaction analysis conducted at the Approved Project site indicate that liquefaction is not considered to be a significant design concern because the static groundwater table is considered to have existed at a depth in excess of approximately 30 feet. No soil erosion is anticipated with long-term operation of the site. Short-term erosional impacts associated with construction will be minimized through compliance with standard erosion control practices and NPDES permit requirements for construction, which include preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The Approved Project site is located in a relatively flat area, and does not pose significant landslide risk. Some of the near surface soils have been determined to be low expansive. Site specific recommendations will be incorporated and the Approved Project developer will be required to prepare and submit detailed grading plans for the Approved Project prior to issuance of grading permits. These plans will be prepared in conformance with applicable standards of the City s Grading Ordinance and the recommendations in the Geotechnical Report. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City 13

17 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with exposing people or structures to a known earthquake fault, strong seismic shaking, or seismic- related ground failure; resulting in substantial soil erosion; unstable soil; or expansive soil would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides? Threshold: Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project site is located an area that is relatively flat and it is not located near any areas that possess potential landslide characteristics. The Approved Project will connect to the existing sewer system and will not require use of a septic tank. (IS, pp ) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with landslides or septic tanks would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Hazards and Hazards Materials Threshold: Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Threshold: Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Threshold: For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? Threshold: Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? Threshold: Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? 14

18 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Threshold: Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. Hazardous materials such as petroleum products, pesticides, fertilizer, and other household hazardous products may be stored and transported to and from the proposed warehouse or industrial building. However, these hazardous materials would not be manufactured at the Approved Project site and would only be stored short-term before transport. Further, the storage and transport of these products would be regulated by federal, state, and local policies regarding storage and transportation of hazardous waste. Although the Approved Project site was historically used for agricultural purposes, it is likely that residual agricultural chemicals (if any) would have degraded since the site was last utilized for agricultural purposes. Furthermore, because the Approved Project involves industrial development and not a sensitive receptor land-use, the possible former use of agricultural chemicals is not expected to represent a significant environmental concern. There are no Federal National Priorities List (NPL) sites within a one-mile radius of the Project site and no Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) listed sites within a half-mile radius of the Project site. (IS, p ) The Approved Project was reviewed by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) on May 11, 2017, and determined to be consistent with the MARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan (LUCP) subject to lighting, uses and activities restrictions, notices to potential buyers, and safety and noise constraints. The Approved Project site is located approximately five miles north of the Perris Valley Airport Influence Area and will not result in a safety hazard from operations at the Perris Valley Airport. (IS, pp ) Emergency access to the Project site will be maintained via driveways along Perris Boulevard, Markham Street, and Perry Street, consistent with requirements outlined in the Riverside County Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP). The Approved Project site is not adjacent to any wildlands or undeveloped hillsides where wildland fires might be expected. Further, the City s GP does not designate this area to be at risk from wildland fires. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with hazards and hazardous materials would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter-mile of an existing or proposed school? 15

19 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR Threshold: For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter-mile of an existing or proposed school. The Approved Project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip. (IS, pp. 42, 45.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with hazards would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Hydrology and Water Quality Threshold: Would the project substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted? Threshold: Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation onsite or offsite? Threshold: Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding onsite or offsite? Threshold: Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? Threshold: Would the project inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The majority of the increased water demand from the Approved Project will be met by the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) through the use of imported water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). There are no streams or rivers at the Approved Project site that would be altered. Although the Approved Project site is located just inside of the Dam Inundation Area for the Perris Reservoir, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) completed a major retrofit to the Perris Dam designed to withstand a magnitude 7.5 earthquake in April 2018, Due to the location and topography of the Approved Project site inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow are unlikely. (IS, pp , DWR.) 16

20 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with groundwater depletion, altering existing drainage patters, dam failure, and inundation would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project would not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area since the Approved Project involves the construction and operation of non-residential buildings (i.e. a warehouse and industrial building). (IS, p. 50.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with placing housing within a 100-year flood hazards would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Land Use and Planning Threshold: Would the project physically divide an established community? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project would not physically divide an established community. (IS, p. 51.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different 17

21 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with dividing an established community would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Mineral Resources Threshold: Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? Threshold: Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project site is located within Mineral Resource Zone Three (MRZ-3), as classified by the State Mining and Geology Board. Within MRZ-3, available geologic information suggests that mineral deposits exist, or are likely to exist; however, the significance of the deposit is unknown. Due to the existing warehouses and other developments in proximity to the Approved Project site, it is unlikely that a mining operation could feasibly function if significant resources were discovered in the future. Further, there are no locally-important mineral resource recovery sites designated or identified on any local plan. (IS, p. 52.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with the loss of a known or locally important mineral resource would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Noise Threshold: Would the project result in exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The types of construction activities that may be sources of groundborne vibration are not anticipated. There are no existing sources of excessive groundborne vibration or noise, such as trains, located within the Approved Project vicinity that would expose people to excessive noise levels. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. 18

22 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with groundborne vibration or groundborne noise would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project site is not located in the immediate vicinity of a private air strip or its influence area. (IS, p. 54.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with excessive noise levels from private airstrips would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Population and Housing Threshold: Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through the extension of roads or other infrastructure)? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project does not involve construction of any new homes and will not contribute to a direct increase in the City s population. It is anticipated that the majority of new jobs would be filled by workers who already reside in the Approved Project vicinity and that the Approved Project would not attract a significant amount of new residents to the City. Although the Approved Project will include some expansion of infrastructure, this new infrastructure will all be constructed to serve the Approved Project s needs and will not cause additional growth. (IS, p. 55.) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. 19

23 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with population growth would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required. Threshold: Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Threshold: Would the project displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Initial Study Conclusion: No Impact. The Approved Project site is currently vacant and as such the Approved Project will not displace any existing housing or people and will not necessitate construction of replacement housing elsewhere. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated. (IS, p. 56.) Because there are no impacts, no mitigation is required. Implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with displacing housing or people would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Public Services Threshold: Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered government facilities, need for new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services? a) Fire protection? b) Police Protection? c) Schools? d) Parks? 20

24 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street EIR e) Other Public Facilities? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project applicant will be required to comply with Ordinance No and pay established developer impact fees to mitigate the cost of public facilities. The Approved Project applicant will also be required to pay appropriate developer impact fees, as required by state law, to the Val Verde Unified School District for impacts to schools. On July 11, 2017, the Perris City Council adopted an updated Park and Recreation Facilities development impact fee, which will be assessed on the Approved Project and paid towards parks and public recreation facilities. The Approved Project also includes a basketball half-court. The Approved Project would not directly increase the demand for library or other public services because it does not propose new residential uses. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with fire protection services, police protection services, school services, parks services, or others public facilities services would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Recreation Threshold: Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? Threshold: Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project is a warehouse and industrial use and will not directly result in an increase in the use of public recreational facilities or require the expansion of existing facilities. Although the Approved Project may indirectly affect public recreational facilities by creating new jobs in the area which may draw new residents to the area, it is anticipated that the majority of jobs will be filled by individuals already residing in the Project vicinity. Additionally, the Approved Project will incorporate recreational amenities as required by the PVCCSP, such as a basketball half-court for employees. Indirect impacts to park and/or recreational facilities will be offset through payment of the applicable Park and Recreation Facilities developer impact fees of $0.94 per SF of industrial space. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. 21

25 Addendum No. 1 to the Duke Warehouse at Perris Boulevard and Markham Street DEIR Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with recreational facilities services would occur. Because the Modified Project has no new impacts, no mitigation is required Transportation Threshold: Would the project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Threshold: Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Threshold: Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Threshold: Would the project conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? Initial Study Conclusion: Less Than Significant Impact. The Approved Project does not create the need for more air traffic at MARB/IP. The approved buildings and anticipated operations would not interfere with existing aircraft flight patterns or operations at MARB/IPA. All proposed streets and intersections in the vicinity of the Approved Project are required to meet City standards, including standards for safe turning movements and site distances. Implementation of the Approved Project will not introduce incompatible uses to the Project area or result in a design feature or change that will increase traffic hazards. The design and location of the Approved Project driveways will be reviewed by the City as part of the design review process to ensure that adequate sight distance is provided. The approved street improvements to (i) Markham Street from Perris Boulevard to Johnson Street and (ii) Perry Street along the frontage of the Project site will be designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with City standards. In addition, all Project trucks will be restricted to access the Harley Knox interchange as the one and only truck route. Emergency access will be maintained and provided in accordance with the County s MHFP. The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) operates Routes 18, 19, 20, and 41 in the Project vicinity, which will not be impacted by construction or operation of the Approved Project. (IS, pp ) Because impacts are less than significant, no mitigation is required. Approval and implementation of the proposed CUP and site plan would not change the location or type, or increase the amount of development originally evaluated in the certified EIR and approved by the City of Perris City Council. As such, the impacts of the Project as modified by the CUP and site plan would be no different or greater than those evaluated in the certified EIR, and no new impacts associated with air traffic patterns; design hazards, and incompatible uses; inadequate emergency access; or conflict with adopted public transit policies would occur. 22
