The project site is located in the southern portion of the city, south of Grove View Road on the west side of Indian Street. The project includes a Plot Plan (PA16-0002) for a 446,350 square feet warehouse/manufacturing building on 19.64 acres. As currently proposed, 347,080 square feet of the project building area would be allocated for distribution warehouse uses; 89,270 square feet would be assigned to manufacturing uses; and 10,000 square feet would be assigned to office uses. Associated improvements to the property include loading docks, surface parking areas including automobile, trucks and truck trailer parking, drive aisles, roadway improvements, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting and water quality features. An Initial Study was prepared for the project. The City of Moreno Valley, as the Lead Agency, has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required for the project.

During the 45-day public review period, public agencies and other interested organizations and individuals have the opportunity to comment on the Draft EIR. Comments on the Draft EIR must be submitted no later than 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 to: Julia Descoteaux, Associate Planner, City of Moreno Valley, 14177 Frederick Street, P.O. Box 88005, Moreno Valley, CA 92552-0805. The document is available on the city's website at www.moval.
