Describe the project site as it exists before the project, including information on topography, soil stability, plants, and animals, and any cultural or scenic aspects. Alberhill Development, LLC. is proposing a Specific Plan Amendment to the Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan and an Industrial Design Review for the West Nichols Logistics Center. The Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Amendment includes the expansion of the specific plan boundary by adding approximately 46.8 acres to Planning Areas 2. Additionally, the amendment will revise the land use plan by adding an Industrial land use and remove the Neighborhood Commercial land use. The application also includes an Industrial Design Review package for the development of a 60.7-acre industrial site that would accommodate an approximately 1 million square foot logistics center. Environmental Resource Finding Aesthetics Historically, the project site and adjacent areas have been subjected to mining activities. Clay and coal were discovered in the project vicinity in the 1800s. Most properties north of the project site are undeveloped or were used for past mining activities. To the east, low density residential development exists. The predominant type of housing is single-family detached south of the project site. To the west of Planning Area #3, Pacific Clay Products-operates its ceramic factory near the Lake Street interchange. Clay mining operations also are in process in this area. The majority of recent development has occurred south and west of the site. Source: Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, Amendment#2 Airports The nearest airport to the property is the Perris Valley Airport L-65, located about 15 miles east of the subject property. According to the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission, the property is not within a compatibility zone. Source: Riverside Co. Airport Land Use Commission Soils The geology of the site includes Santiago Peak Volcanics, Alluvium, and the Pauba Formation in Planning Areas #1 and #2 and Alluvium in Planning Area #1. According to geotechnical investigation conducted for Alberhill Ranch,the project site is suitable for development from a geotechnical standpoint. See Exhibit 1. Source: Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, Amendment#2 Hazards There is one closed LUST Cleanup Site in Planning Area 3. See Exhibit 2.

Describe any existing structures onsite and use of these structures. Single-family homes, an elementary school, parks, and supporting infrastructure (e.g. water tanks) are existing on Planning Area 1. Planning Areas 2 and 3 are undeveloped. 3. Describe the surrounding properties, including information on plants and animals and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. The surrounding properties are historic mining areas. Mining in the Alberhill area, including the Pacific Clay mine, began roughly around the same time that the region's first railroad, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad, was completed in the 1880s. The railroad, along with various mining opportunities, greatly increased migration to the Lake Elsinore area. Portions of Lake Street and Coal Road (now named Nichols Road) are generally aligned with a section of the railroad that has since been removed in that area. Pacific Clay still conducts mining operations within the Alberhill Villages Specific Plan area, bounded by Lake Street to the east and Temescal Canyon Road to the north. Properties to the south continue to be developed as residential, commercial, and institutional uses. Properties to the east remain mostly undeveloped. 4. Describe the types of surrounding land use, intensity of land use, and sale of development.
