PUBLIC SCOPING SESSION: 2:30 p.m. or as soon as possible thereafter. The Scoping Session is not a public hearing on the merit of the proposed project and NO DECISION on the project will be made. Public testimony is limited to identifying issues regarding the project and its potential environmental impacts.

COMMERCIAL WECS PERMIT NO.118 / GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 837 / CHANGE OF ZONE NO. 7450 / VARIANCE NO. 1811 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 494 (State Clearinghouse No.: 2007111091) - The project site is in the unincorporated area of Riverside County. The overall project area is generally located near or upon the northerly slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains, south of Interstate 10, east of the Cabazon community, and west of the Snow Creek community and the City of Palm Springs, and within Section 13 , T3S, R2E, SBBM, and Sections 17, 18, and 19, T3S, R3E, SBBM.

Commercial WECS Permit No. 118 (hereafter WCS00118) proposes fifty-two (52) 3.0 megawatt Vestas Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) or forty-two (42) 3.6 megawatt Siemens WTGs, for a total rated output of 156 or 151 megawatts, respectively. The WTG total height ranges up to approximately 438 feet. Depending on the turbine selected, six to seven of the WTGs are referred to as "Ridge Turbines," fifteen to nineteen of the WTGs are referred to as "Upland Turbines," and twenty-one to twenty-six of the WTGs are referred to as "Ground Turbines." The submitted facility layout is for the Vestas turbine, and either turbine type would be sited within the construction corridors surveyed during environmental studies.

General Plan Amendment No. 837 proposes changes to the text of the Riverside County General Plan to the following current policies: CVAP 2.3, which states, "Except in the area designated Public Facilities on Edom Hill, prohibit the placement of commercial wind turbine areas east of Indian Avenue, north of Pierson Boulevard, and south of Highway 111", which policy is proposed to remove the prohibition south of Highway 111 by deleting reference to "south of Highway 111"; and 2) WCVAP 2.5, which states, "Prohibit the location of wind turbines within the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument", which policy is proposed to be changed to limit the prohibition against the location of wind turbines within the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument "to public lands".

Change of Zone No. 7450 proposes changing the zoning designations of APN(s) 522-020-004, 522-020-006, 522-020-008, 522-020-010 522-020-011, 522-020-013, 522-020-014, and 522-090-001 from Rural Residential (R-R) to Wind Energy Resource Zone (W-E).

Variance Case No. 1811 proposes to reduce safety setbacks for eight to ten of the WTGs from approximately 451 feet to 0 feet. Several off-site access roads and drives are proposed by the project, which roads cross adjoining federal land administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Such access routes include APN 522-090-006 and APN 522-020-009, for example. No WTGs are proposed within BLM lands as part of the project. Coordination with the BLM with regards to environmental review and process will be included in the EIR.
