111. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
that"the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery or
signs in exterior areas. Within a building,the arrangement of furniture and color definition can
serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones.
Persons need to be able to identity when they are moving from public to semi-public to private
space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where there
is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe
activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the location less attractive
to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e. Place unsafe activities in
safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural surveillance or controlled access
will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel safer.f. Redesign the use of space
to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may conflict with each other (outdoor
basketball court and children's play area, for example) by distance, natural terrain or other
functions to avoid such conflict.g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space
can reduce the risk for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of
surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural
surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible
intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide such a perception of
surveillance. I. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications(portable two-way radios,for example)and design efficiencies, such
as the location of restrooms in a public building.
112 Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)

The District does not normally recommend conditions for land divisions or other land use cases in incorporated
Cities. The District also does not plan check City land use caves,or provide State Division of Real Estate letters
or other flood hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such cases are normally
limited to items of specific interest tc the District including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other
regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or extension of a
master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In addition,
information of a general nature is provided.
' The District has not reviewed the proposed project in detail and the following comments do not in any way
constitute or Imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard, public
health and safety,or any other such issu.::
T'he entire sag is within the 100 year Zme AE floodplain limits for Murrieta Creek as delineated on Panel No.
Q60t5C-32850 dated 8/28/2008 of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued in conjunction with the National
Flood Insurance Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A District
flood study in 1987 determined the base flood elevation for the master plan flow rate of 38.3 cfs to be 1006.33
(NGVD 29)at the location.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with the District and the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta are working
at ::IC.iusign of the Murrlefa Creek Flood Control, Environmental Restoration and Recreation project(PrcilwA
which has been Congressionally authorized. The proposed development is located within Phase 2 of the
Project, which is scheduled to begin construction in summer of 2015 pending Federally allocated funding.
Questions regarding the Project may be addressed to Albert Martinez of our office at 951.955.1299.
X Until the proposed Project has been constructed, all new buildings should be floodproofed by
elevating the finished floor a minimum of 12 inches above the Districfs/FEMA's floodplain
elevation of 1007.
The site is located within the Lmits of the Project. The right of way required for the Project shall be
dedicated to the public prior to the issuance of any permits. The developer shall submit to the
District the preliminary title reports, plats and legal descriptions for all right of way to be conveyed
to the District and ensure that right of way meets the satisfaction of the District.
This project is located within the limits of the District's Murrieta Creek/Temecu a Valley Area Drainage Plan for
which drainage fees have been adopted: applicable fees should be paid prior to the issuance of grading permits.
Fees to be paid should be at the rate in effect at the time of issuance of the actual permit.

SUBJECT: WATER AVAILABILITY
4' STREET AND FRONT STREET BUILDING;
LOT NOS. 1 AND 2 IN BLOCK 21 OF OLD TOWN
TEMECULA;PALS-0694;APN 922-033-021
Dear Mr. Jones,
Please be advised that the above-referenced project/property is located within
the service boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD/Distriet).
The subject project/property fronts an existing 12-inch diameter water pipeline
(1305 Pressure Zone) within Old Town Front Street, an existing 6-inch
diameter water pipeline (1305 Pressure Zone)within 40'Street, and an existing
12-inch water pipeline lateral (1305 Pressure Zone) fronts a portion of the
property within the alley way.
Water service to the subject project/property does not exist. Additions or
modifications to water/sewer service arrangements are subject to the Rules and
Regulations (governing) Water System Facilities and Service, as well as the
completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner.
I
Where private on-site water facilities (for water service, fire service, irrigation,
or other purpose) will cross or will be shared amongst multiple lots/project
units (only by special variance of the Rules and Regulations), and/or where
such 'common' facilities will be owned and maintained by a Property Owners'
Association, RCWD requires execution and recordation of a Reciprocal
Easement and Maintenance Agreement or equivalent document of covenants,
codes,and restrictions.
Water availability is contingent upon the property owner(s) signing an Agency
Agreement that assigns water management rights, if any, to RCWD. In
addition, water availability is subject to water supply shortage
contingency measures in effect (pursuant to RCWD's Water Shortage
Contingency Plan or other applicable ordinances and policy), and/or the
adoption of a required Water Supply Assessment for the development, as
determined by the Lead Agency.

There is no recycled water currently available within the limits established by Resolution 2007-
10-5. Should recycled water become available in the future, the project/property may be required
to retrofit its facilities to make use of this availability in accordance with Resolution 2007-10-5.
Recycled water service, therefore, would be available upon construction of any required on-site
and/or off-site recycled water facilities and the completion of financial arrangements between
RCWD and the property owner. Requirements for the use of recycled water are available from
RCWD.
l
As soon as feasible, and prior to the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)documents, the project proponent should contact RCWD for a determination of existing
water system capability, based upon project-specific demands and/or fire flow requirements, as
well as a determination of proposed water facilities configuration. If new facilities are required
for service, fire protection,or other purposes,the project proponent should contact RCWD for an
assessment of project-specific fees and requirements. Please note that separate water meters will
be required for all landscape irrigation.
Sewer service to the subject project/property, if available, would be provided by Eastern
Municipal Water District. If no sewer service is currently available to the subject
project/property, all proposed waste discharge systems must comply with the State Water
Resources Control Board and/or health department requirements.

These documents are herein incorporated in GECO2461.
GEO02461 concluded
1. The project area is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault (Special Studies)
Zone
2. No active faults with the potential for surface fault rupture are known to pass directly
beneath the site.
3 Landslide debris was not observed during site reconnaissance, geologic mapping,
aerial photo review, and a review of publisi red geologic maps
4 The potential for earthquake induced liquefaction and lateral spreading beneath the
proposed structures is considered very low to remote due to the recommended
compacted fig, absence of shallow grourx!water, and the dense nature of the deeper
onsite earth materials.
5. The potential for subsidence is considered low to remote.
' GEO02461 recommended
1 For each area to receive compacted fill, tha removal of low density, compressible earth
materials, such as topsoil and undocumented artificial fill, should continue until firm
competent bedrock is encountered.
2 In general, the anticipated removal depths should vary from 4 to 6 feet below existing
grade.
3 Slot cut grading (ABC method) may be implemented along the northeastern property
fine to ensure stability of the existing structure
4. All excavations should be stabilized within 30 days of initial excavation
