III Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation
Earth
.8.
No. The project site will be graded as part of a mass grading effort.
There will be substantial grading for this project, which includes
171,898 cubic yards of excavation and 171,532 cubic yards of fill.
However, a conceptual mass grading plan for the project was reviewed
and approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's standards and the Conditions of Approval include mitigation
measures in regards to grading. Therefore, the proposed project will not
create an unstable earth condition or change the geologic substructure.
1.5.
Yes. The proposed development disrupts the soil profile and results in
soil displacement, compaction, and overcovering. However, a slope
stability report was prepared for this project, in which specific
recommendation were made in order to develop the project. Therefore,
this impact is not considered significant, due to the fact that the
Conditions of Approval include mitigation measures in regards to all
grading.
1 .c-d.
Yes. The project site is located within a fairly prominent natural hillside
of Temecula. However, the mass grading effort was designed to adhere
to the gross natural topography of the site in its original condition. While
substantial grading and recontouring of this site, which includes 171,898
c.y. of excavation and 171,532 c.y. of fill, will occur in the immediate
area, the overall plan is intended to promote preservation of site
topography. Therefore, this impact is not considered significant.
1 .e.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted
and the proposed drainage facilities are constructed. The wind erosion
impact is considered significant but will be mitigated through the use of
watering trucks and erosion control planting of disturbed areas after
grading. After the project is completed, water will be channeled to
drainage easements. Appropriate drainage control devices will have to
be approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's standards and the Conditions of Approval. Therefore, this
impact is not considered to be significant, due to the fact that
appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the project.
1.f,
No. The project site is'not adjacent to any creek or stream bed.
Therefore, a significant impact will not occur.

.C.
Maybe. The subject site is not located within a subsidence or
liquefaction zone and is not subject to liquefaction and subsidence by the
Riverside County General Plan. However, to mitigate any potential
hazards, a geological report will be prepared prior to any construction of
the property. The report will include mitigation measures. Therefore,
this impact is not considered to be significant.
Maybe. The proposed project consisting of 34 residential units will
generate an increase in vehicle trips to the site. The increased vehicle
trips will increase the carbon monoxide emissions and particulates in the
area. However, since the ambient air quality in the project vicinity is
currently very good due to the local wind patterns, this potential impact
is not considered significant. The proposed project will not by itself
deteriorate the local area's or regional air quality, but will add to the
cumulative impact on air quality due to the substantial growth in the
area.
No. The proposed project will not create any objectionable odors or alter
the area's climate.
No. The proposed project will not impact any body of water.
Yes. The proposed project will increase the amount of impermeable
surfaces on the site and the existing drainage pattern will be altered.
However, water will be channeled to drainage easements and streets
through drainage facilities and control devices which will have to be
approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's Standards and the Conditions of Approval. Therefore, this
impact is not considered to be significant since apprc~riate mitigation
measures have been implemented with the project.
No. Flood waters will continue to be directed to the streets and flood
channels. However, in order to mitigate the downstream impacts
brought about by runoff and the proposed drainage facilities, the
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (the
District) has indicated that the project will be required to pay a flood

mitigation charge (Area Drainage Plan fee), which has been included as
a Condition of Approval. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be
significant since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented
with the project. Drainage plans for the site will have to meet the
requirements of the City's Engineer.
Yes. During construction, the proposed project will increase turbidity in
local surface waters. This impact is temporary and is not considered
significant. After the project is completed, water will be channeled to
drainage easements and streets, which will have to be approved by the
City Engineer. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant
since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the
project.
No. The proposed project will not alter the rate of flow of ground water.
No. Although the proposed project will increase the amount of
impermeable surfaces on the site, the addition of irrigation for the
landscape areas will help to off-set any loss of water absorbed' into the
ground. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant.
No. The proposed project will not significantly affect the public water
supply.
Maybe. Conditions of Approval are included for this project which
require proper design and installation of drainage conveyance devices.
Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant since
appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the project.
Yes. The proposed project involves a mass grading of the subject site
which will eliminate all of the existing native plants; and the proposal
includes landscaping and erosion control which will be designed to City
standards. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant
since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the
project.
No. No sensitive vegetational associations or species were identified on-
site.
No. No agricultural production occurred on-site.

A survey for Stephen's Kangaroo Rat prepared for this
project analyzed biologic resources on-site. In that no
individuals of the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat were found there
is no occupied habitat within the bounds of the tract map.
Implementation of the tract as proposed will not result in a
taking nor would it result in any adverse effect on the
species or on the species' habitat. In that surrounding
lands to the north, south, east and west have previously
been developed at urban levels of use or are presently being
developed at such levels of use, preservation of this site as
a reserve is inappropriate. In addition, the site is now
isolated from all other known colonies by impassable
residential and other barriers and reinvasion of the site is
virtually impossible. Implementation of the project as
proposed will not have a significant effect and no mitigation
other than payment of fees under the Stepben's Kangaroo
Rat Fee Ordinance is required.
Noise
6.a-b.
No. A noise assessment was prepared for this project.
Analysis indicates that the project site is exposed to significant levels of
noise as a result of traffic on Pauba and Margarita Roads. However, it
is concluded that the project design, as recommended herein, will
comply with the interior noise exposure standard placed on residential
construction by the County of Riverside and the State's noise insulation
standards.
It is further recommended that the final engineering design of the project
be reviewed by a recognized acoustical engineer to ensure compliance
with the County's noise standards.
Light and Glare
Land Use
Yes. However, the project has been conditioned to comply with
applicable lighting standards. Therefore, this impact is not considered
to be significant since appropriate mitigation measures have been
implemented with the project.
S\STAFFRPT~25892.TTM
No. Project is consistent with both the zoning designation and the
Southwest Area Community Plan.
Natural Resources
9.a-b,
No, This project itself will not significantly increase the rate of use of
natural resources. Construction materials and petroleum products will
be used extensively to support the specific plan project overall.
Risk of Upset
10.a-b.
No. The proposed project will not promote a risk of explosion or release
hazardous substances nor will it interfere with emergency response plan
or an emergency evaluation plan.
Population
11.
Yes. Although the project proposes to increase the density to 102 lots,
the proposed project is consistent with the City Land Use Designation
which allows a maximum of 283 lots (according to SWAP). Therefore,
this impact is not considered to be significant.
Housing
12.
No. Since the proposed project creates housing, the proposed land use
will not create a demand for additional housing.
Transportation/Circulation
1 3. a. Yes.

human health.
Aesthetics
18.
No. Because the proposed project has been designed to be compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood, there will be no significant impact
on aesthetics.
Recreation
19.
Yes. The proposed project will result in an impact upon existing
recreational opportunities. However, the proposed project provides
adequate recreational facilities for the subject residents and appropriate
Quimby fees will be paid. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be
significant since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented
with the project.
Cultural Resources
20.a-d. No impact.
Mandatory Findings of Significance
21 .a.
Maybe. The proposed project may have a significant impact on plant or
wildlife species. However, the project is located within an area
designated by the Riverside County as habitat for the endangered
Stephen's Kangaroo Rat, the project will be subject to mitigation fees for
the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan. In addition,
during grading activities, a qualified paleontologist shall be present.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
