Moreno Valley Logistics Use Facility Mitigation Measures Ordinance

The City of Moreno Valley adopted an amendment to the Moreno Valley Municipal Code, Title 9, on September 1, 2026, to implement the Moreno Valley Logistics Use Facility Mitigation Measures Ordinance. This project establishes stringent development and design standards for new or expanded logistics facilities to ensure they do not cause undue impacts to local residents. The ordinance adheres to Assembly Bill 98 and Senate Bill 415 and incorporates air quality mitigation measures negotiated with the California Attorney General's Office as part of the settlement for Sierra Club v. The City of Moreno Valley. These measures expand upon the air quality mitigations found in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program of the MoVal 2040 Project's Revised Final Environmental Impact Report, which was certified on April 21, 2026. Key requirements of the ordinance include a minimum development size of 30 acres within the city and the application of building design standards that significantly reduce environmental impacts compared to typical local standards. The project is citywide in scope and has been deemed exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under categorical exemption Section 15308 and statutory exemption Section 15061(b)(3). Administrative oversight is managed by the Community Development Director, Angelica Frausto-Lupo, and Associate Planner Claudia Manrique. Regulatory filings for the project were completed in September 2026 with the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder.
