STATE AND LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS
CALIFORNIA
On September 1, the Moreno Valley City Council will hold a public hearing on amendments to the General Plan Circulation Element, Municipal Code and citywide truck-route map intended to implement requirements under California AB 98 and SB 415. The proposed changes are intended to designate truck routes and redirect heavy truck traffic away from sensitive receptors where feasible.
The Council will also conduct the second reading of a separate Logistics Facilities Mitigation Measures Ordinance negotiated with the California Attorney General’s Office. The ordinance would add new standards for logistics facilities under the city's industrial zoning regulations, including truck-routing plans, anti-idling measures and other operational controls intended to address air-quality and community impacts near sensitive uses.
