Both proposed projects require the City to comply with the California Environmental Qualiry Act (CEQA) to assess any potential environmental impacts. The Community Sports Pazk and the additional commercial parcels are located on vacan[ property that has been identified as potential habitat for the Dellu sands flower-loving fly (DSF), by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The DSF is a federally listed endangered species.

The proposed expansion/addition to the Inland Composting and Organic Recycling Facility will be located on 22.4 acres of land that was previously used as the Christmas Tree Farm, located at 2110 Agua Mansa Road. In order to define the appropriate CEQA process for modifying the previously approved composting and organic recycling facility, an Initial Study is required.
