PLANNING CASE: PR-2024-001800 (EIR): Proposal by the City of Riverside to

consider the Draft Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and

Reporting Program for the future redevelopment of the Riverside Convention Center

and Lot 33 (Riverside Alive project). The 10.28-acre project site is located at 3637

Fifth Street, on the superblock bound by Market Street, Third Street, Orange Street,

and Fifth Street, in Ward 1 comprised of six parcels (213-111-016; 213-111-012;

213-111-015; 213-111-017; 213-111-011; and 213-111-014).

The necessary environmental analysis has been conducted pursuant to the

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on the proposed maximum

development envelopes. There is no development project under consideration at this

time. Future development of the site will require further entitlements, as applicable.

Only the Draft Environmental Impact Report will be presented for consideration. The

Draft Environmental Impact Report determined that, even with feasible mitigation

measures, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions would result in significant

and unavoidable environmental impacts. Copies of the Draft Environmental Impact

Re-port are available for inspection at (1) the Planning Division of the Community &

Economic Development Department, City Hall, 3900 Main Street, Riverside; (2) the

Riverside Main Public Library, 3911 University Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501; (3)

the Riverside Public Library, Marcy Branch, 6927 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, CA
