cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the archaeological report(s)
and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to Project approval, the following
procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are defined, for this condition only, as
being multiple artifacts in close association with each other, but may include fewer artifacts if
the area of the find is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural importance
as determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
i. All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural resources shall
be halted until a meeting is convened between the Project Applicant, the Project
Archaeologist, the Tribal Representative(s) and the Planning Director to discuss the
significance of the find.
ii. At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and after
consultation with the Tribal Representative(s) and the Project Archaeologist, a decision
shall be made, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, as to the appropriate
mitigation (documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.)for the cultural resources.

Cultural Resources Management Plan and Monitoring Agreements entered into with the
appropriate tribes. This may include avoidance of the cultural resources through project
design, in-place preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial
on the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity as
identified in Non-Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
v. If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been achieved,
a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the Project Archeologist, in
consultation with the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for their review and approval
prior to implementation of the said plan.
vi. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred method of
preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources. If the Project Applicant
and the Tribe cannot agree on the significance or the mitigation for the archaeological or
cultural resources, these issues will be presented to the City Planning Director for
decision. The City Planning Director shall make the determination based on the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to archaeological resources,
recommendations of the project archeologist and shall take into account the cultural and
religious principles and practices of the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other rights available
under the law, the decision of the City Community Development Director shall be
appealable to the City Planning Commission and/or City Council."
Evidence of compliance with this mitigation measure, if a significant archaeological resource is
found, shall be provided to City of Temecula upon the completion of a treatment plan and final
report detailing the significance and treatment finding.

process shall be culturally appropriate. Listing of contents and location of the reburial
shall be included in the confidential Phase IV report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed
with the City under a confidential cover and not subject to Public Records Request.

Grading Plan: "No grubbing/clearing of the site shall occur prior to scheduling the pre-grading
meeting with Public Works. All project sites containing suitable habitat for burrowing owls,
whether owls were found or not, require a 30-day preconstruction survey that shall be
conducted within 30 days prior to ground disturbance to avoid direct take of burrowing owls. If
the results of the survey indicate that no burrowing owls are present on-site, then the project
may move forward with grading, upon Planning Division approval. If burrowing owls are found
to be present or nesting on-site during the preconstruction survey, then the following
recommendations must be adhered to: Exclusion and relocation activities may not occur
during the breeding season, which is defined as March 1 through August 31, with the following
exception: From March 1 through March 15 and from August 1 through August 31 exclusion
and relocation activities may take place if it is proven to the City and appropriate regulatory

activities, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance
shall occur until the Riverside County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin.
Further, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in place
and free from disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment and disposition has been
made. The project applicant shall comply with provisions of Public Resources Code Section
5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. The Riverside County Coroner shall be
notified immediately upon discovery of human remains. If the remains are determined to be
human remains, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) shall be notified to as per

addressing plotted on a nine-inch grid pattern with 45-inch tall numerals spaced nine inches
apart. The numerals shall be painted with a standard nine-inch paint roller using fluorescent
yellow paint applied over a contrasting background. The address shall be oriented to the
street and placed as closely as possible to the edge of the building closest to the street.
147. Public Telephones. Any public telephones located on the exterior of the buildings shall be
placed in a well-lit, highly visible area, and installed with a "call-out only" feature to deter
loitering. This feature is not required for public telephones installed within the interior of the
buildings.
148. ADA Parking. All disabled parking stalls on the premises shall be marked in accordance with
Section 22511.8 of the California Vehicle Code.
149. 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 identify 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.
