Truck Route Plan Update

The City of Perris is undertaking a comprehensive environmental review process to update its designated truck routes in accordance with Assembly Bill 98 and to ensure alignment with the 2022 General Plan and Municipal Code. This initiative involves amending the Circulation Element of the General Plan and modifying Title 10 of the Perris Municipal Code to add one new segment and remove three existing truck route designations within the urbanized area, without any physical construction or land use changes. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, triggering the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report following a Notice of Preparation issued on November 4, 2025, and a public scoping period running from November 7 to December 8, 2025. Environmental assessments will evaluate impacts across multiple categories including air quality, noise, vehicle miles traveled, hazardous materials, and greenhouse gas emissions, with determinations made under CEQA Guidelines, particularly Section 15064.3 for VMT analysis, and guided by the CEQA Appendix G checklist and South Coast Air Quality Management District standards. The lead agency, the City of Perris, is responsible for all compliance, approval, and documentation, with Principal Planner Rafael Garcia serving as the primary point of contact for public and regulatory inquiries. All submissions must be mailed to the State Clearinghouse in Sacramento, as no electronic portal or digital submission system is established. The project does not involve formal procurement, contract types, pricing, or contractor selection, as it is a municipal planning and environmental compliance effort rather than a goods or service acquisition. No contract clauses, deliverables, inspection criteria, payment terms, or procurement representations are applicable, as the work is internally managed by city staff and guided solely by state environmental law and local land use regulations.
