Center for Community Action & Environmental Justice v. City of Moreno Valley

Environmental groups and the developer of a 2,610-acre warehouse project in the City of Moreno Valley in southern California reached an agreement that resolves pending California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) claims of the environmental groups. Claims brought by other parties are still pending, but the environmental groups agreed not to oppose the project should the courts require reconsideration of its approvals. The settlement agreement requires the developer to ensure that specified actions to address greenhouse gas emissions and air quality are carried out, as well as actions related to biological resources and community benefits. The greenhouse gas emissions and air quality measures include grant programs for electric trucks and cars; on-site solar generation commitments; contributions to a solar advocacy fund; on-site electric vehicle chargers; electrification of equipment; and provision of lower-carbon hydrogen to tenants if available under commercially reasonable terms.
