Tentative Tract Map No. 38955 for Condominium Purposes (PEN24-0058), Plot Plan (PEN24-0059), PEN24-0144 (Variance)

The City of Moreno Valley has approved Tentative Tract Map No. 38955, Plot Plan PEN24-0059, and Variance PEN24-0144 for the development of the Farm Bureau residential project. Located on 9.33 gross acres north of Box Springs Road, the project involves the demolition of existing structures to make way for 139 attached multifamily residential condominium units. The development will include a clubhouse, pool, gym, a 1.04-acre common open space area, and 21,165 square feet of private decks or patios. A specific variance was granted to allow a 50-foot rear yard setback between the northern property line and the adjacent residential subdivision within the R15 District. The project has undergone extensive environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Key assessments include a Trip Generation Assessment and VMT analysis confirming minimal traffic impacts, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identifying only de minimis hazardous materials, and specialized biological surveys for burrowing owls and Crotch's bumblebees. The project is subject to a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to manage impacts on air quality, noise, and cultural resources. Strict protocols are in place for the discovery of cultural artifacts or human remains, requiring immediate work stoppage and coordination with the County Coroner and Native American Heritage Commission. Additional compliance measures include a Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan and a Preliminary Fire Protection Plan to ensure regional safety and environmental standards are met.
