The Project Team has begun the environmental review phase for the Northside Specific Plan. The first step is the completion of the Initial Study (IS) checklist, and the release of a Notice of Preparation (NOP). On March 29, 2019, the NOP and Initial Study Checklist was distributed to responsible and trustee agencies, and made available for public review. The agencies and general public will have 30 days to provide comment as to what environmental conditions should be considered in the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). A public scoping meeting will be held within the 30 day timeframe, to provide information and receive comment. The City anticipates a draft of the PEIR to be released in Summer, 2019.

The Scoping Meeting was held on April 17, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at the Springbrook Clubhouse (1011 Orange Street, Riverside, CA).
