SUBJECT: Selection of Chair and Vice-Chair of the Commission for 2023 Calendar Year
PREPARED BY: Luke Watson, Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission select its Chair and Vice-Chair to
serve calendar year 2023.
BACKGROUND: As we get started on the New Year and we welcome one new
Commissioner, staff recommends that the Planning Commission select a Chair and Vice-Chair to
serve the calendar year 2023. Gary Watts served as Chair for 2022 with Lanae Turley-Trejo
serving as Vice-Chair. Among other duties, the Chair presides over the regular Commission
meetings and represents the Commission at Council, and the Vice-Chair assumes those duties
when the Chair is unavailable.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
Item No. 3
PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Isaac Garibay, Director Human Resources & Risk Management
DATE: February 1, 2023
SUBJECT: Receive a Presentation on Final Draft of 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
PREPARED BY: Mikel Alford, Emergency Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission receive and file the Final Draft of the
2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
BACKGROUND: The Disaster Mitigation and Cost Recovery Act of 2000 (DMA
2000) amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by placing
a new emphasis on hazard mitigation planning, primarily moving from post-disaster mitigation to
pre-disaster mitigation.
As part of DMA 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now responsible
for coordinating the implementation of the Act requiring local government, state, and special
jurisdictions to develop and maintain hazard mitigation plans. In order to qualify for future hazard
mitigation grants, each jurisdiction must prepare, and have approved by the Federal Government
a local hazard mitigation plan. A local hazard mitigation plan must be approved every five years
per DMA 2000. While the County of Riverside is responsible for adopting the 2022 Riverside
County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the City of Temecula
is responsible for providing a local annex to the County’s plan – more specifically, the 2022 City
of Temecula Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Riverside County's efforts to update the 2022 Riverside County Operational Area Multi-
Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan began in mid-2022. The County’s goal was to bring
all stakeholders of the Riverside County Operational Area (e.g., the County, cities, special districts
local businesses, tribes, and the public) together to create a comprehensive and cohesive, multi-
jurisdictional plan that identifies and assesses the hazards in the County of Riverside.
The County of Riverside’s current planning process evaluates the potential impact of each
identified hazard in the County, including those within city, special district, and tribal jurisdictions.
All participating jurisdictions help establish a list of potential mitigation efforts via their LHMP
Annex. Temecula will prioritize our project efforts based on the needs of our jurisdiction. In
addition, Temecula will develop a specific hazard mitigation strategy based on information from
2017 through 2022.
FEMA requires a formal resolution from the City adopting the City of Temecula Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan Annex as a part of the City's hazard planning process. The City of Temecula Local
Hazard Mitigation Plan is being presented to the Planning Commission in preparation for City
Council’s review and approval, then the plan will be submitted to FEMA for final approval before
implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Disasters can cause loss of life, damage buildings and infrastructure, and have devastating
consequences for a community’s economic, social, and environmental well -being. Hazard
mitigation, actions taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life, property, and the
environment from hazards, can significantly reduce these impacts. Impacts from hazards are a
challenge to many jurisdictions, its leaders, and its citizens. After catastrophic disaster events ,
communities can experience power outages, loss of water and sewer service, loss of
telecommunications, limited access to fuel, and closed roadways. Depending on the magnitude
of the event, recovery from these events can take weeks,
months, and in some cases, years. The goal of many
communities is to reduce the potential impacts from disaster
events thus effectively shortening the recovery time. In
emergency management, this is generally called mitigation.
Mitigation is defined by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) – Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) as “any action taken to reduce and/or eliminate the
long-term risk to human life and property from natural
hazards.” Mitigation is one of the primary phases of the
Disaster Cycle and is the only phase specifically dedicated to
breaking the cycle of damage. The goal of mitigation is to build resiliency within the community,
enabling a more efficient and effective response to and recovery from disasters and/or major
emergencies.
To assist communities become more resilient to hazards, FEMA developed a program and
guidance around the creation of Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMPs). LHMPs promote a
comprehensive planning process, requiring an assessment of local capabilities against impacts
from hazards in order to identify potential projects and/or strategies.
Within an approved and adopted LHMP, cities, counties, and special districts are eligible for
Federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants offered through FEMA: Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program (HMGP), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC; formerly Pre-
Disaster Mitigation – PDM), and Flood Management Assistance (FMA). The HMA grants are a
great source of funding to help implement local mitigation actions identified in the LHMP.
This update to the City of Temecula LHMP is built upon previous mitigation efforts within the City
and incorporated new, relevant information into the plan. Part of this update process includes
reassessing and reevaluating: local capabilities (personnel resources, governance, technical skills,
and fiscal resources); community hazards (identification, impacts, and prioritization); and
mitigation goals, objectives, and measures/actions. Significant consideration was given to
acknowledging new (and existing) challenges and issues facing the City (i.e., pandemic, civil
PREFACE
Page|2
disturbance, technology disruption, and wind driven fire events). During this update, the city tried
to take a more comprehensive, strategic approach to the LHMP. This led to reorganizing the plan
and also adding, renaming, and expanding hazards as well as mitigation actions.
Because the LHMP must include information to meet federal requirements and guidance , it
includes information not traditionally found in other planning documents. This can lead to a large,
cumbersome document, making it difficult to easily access specific information. In an attempt to
ensure the LHMP contains all required information and is user-friendly; it has been organized as
follows:
Chapter 1: Introduction – provides information on the purpose of the plan, outlines the scope
of the work, and presents the adoption process and authority.
Chapter 2: Planning Process – provides information on the methodology used to prepare the
LHMP, including a list of the Planning Team members and the public outreach
efforts.
Chapter 3: Community Profile – provides background information on the city, ensuring all
Planning Team members have a common understanding of the dynamics within
the community.
Chapter 4: Capability Assessment – provides information on the current mitigation efforts by
the city, including department roles and responsibilities, existing
plans/programs/codes, and available funding.
Chapter 5: Hazard Assessment – provides information on hazards within the city and
assesses the priority of each hazard.
Chapter 6: Vulnerability Assessment – provides information on the potential impacts,
through exposure and loss (damage) estimates for each hazard within the city.
Chapter 7: Mitigation Strategies – provides information on the actions/projects the city is
proposing to address the vulnerabilities to the high-risk hazards within the city.
Chapter 8: Plan Administration – provides information on how the city intends to keep the
LHMP current, incorporate it into other efforts, and share it with the public.
Page|3
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a “living document” that should be reviewed,
reevaluated, monitored, and revised to reflect changing conditions and new information. As
required, the LHMP must be updated every five (5) years to remain in compliance with
regulations to receive Federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants. At a minimum, this
plan shall be reviewed annually. The City of Temecula has had several approved and adopted
LHMP’s, the last being in 2017. This LHMP is an update to the 2017 City of Temecula LHMP.
The City of Temecula’s efforts to update the LHMP began in early 2022. The goal was to bring all
members of the city (local business, community members) together to create a plan that
identified and assessed the various hazards within the city. The desire was to have the city
develop a comprehensive LHMP that was inclusive of all potential hazards that could affect the
city.
1.1 Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of this plan is to outline a mitigation strategy to help reduce and/or eliminate
impacts from hazards within the City of Temecula.
1.2 Scope of the Plan
The scope of this plan is to: 1) assess relevant existing conditions and capabilities within the city;
2) identify potential hazards and their impacts to the city; and 3) propose additional mitigation
measures to address the impacts to the high-priority hazards within the city. In support of this
scope, this update will: evaluate mitigation progress since the approved and adopted LHMP;
implement and document a comprehensive planning process; present actions to maintain and
integrate the LHMP with other City plans; and establish methods to continuously inform and
educate the public on hazards and actions that can be taken to reduce and/or eliminate the
impact.
1.3 Hazard Mitigation Planning Directive
In 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) adopted revisions to Title 44 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR). This revision is known as “Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA)
2000”. Section 322 (a-d) of DMA 2000 requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving
federal disaster mitigation funds, have an approved and adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP)
that describes the process for assessing hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities; identifying and
prioritizing mitigation actions; and soliciting input from the community (public), key stakeholders,
and adjacent jurisdictions/agencies.
A LHMP must be approved every five (5) years per DMA 2000. While the County of Riverside is
responsible for adopting the 2022 Riverside County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local
1. INTRODUCTION
Page|4
Hazard Mitigation Plan, the City of Temecula is responsible for adopting the annex to the County’s
plan – more specifically, the 2022 City of Temecula Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
1.4 Promulgation Authority
The City Council is the legislative body of the City of Temecula. It decides policy for the municipal
government, enacts laws, and oversees all activities of the City. The City Council also serves as
the governing body of the City of Temecula Redevelopment Agency. This promulgation authority
is vested in the members of the City Council. A list of members of the Temecula City Council
include:
Mayor Council Member Bredan Kalfus
Mayor Pro Tem Zack Schwank Council Member James “Stew” Stewart
Council Member Jessica Alexander
1.5 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Adoption
The City of Temecula will submit plans to the Riverside County Emergency Management
Department (EMD) who will review and collate prior to forwarding to the California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for review prior to being submitted to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The City of Temecula will wait to receive an “Approval
Pending Adoption” letter from FEMA before taking the plan to the City Council for adoption.
The update of the City of Temecula LHMP was reviewed and adopted by the City Council on DATE
under Resolution NUMBER. A copy of the Resolution is located in Appendix 1.

2.1 Overview
This section demonstrates the methodology used by the City of Temecula to develop the LHMP.
FEMA’s LHMP development guidance outlines recommended actions, emphasizing the “whole
community” approach in the planning process. The whole community concept promotes
inclusion of not only emergency managers but other City department representatives (e.g., public
works, economic development, community development, planning, building & safety), as well as
outside partners (e.g., surrounding cities, special districts, business leaders) to participate in the
LHMP planning effort. Soliciting and considering input from diverse interests is essential to
building a comprehensive plan and gaining community-wide support for the plan.
2.2 Methodology and Timeline
To complete the update of the LHMP, the City of Temecula incorporated a three (3) phase
planning process: 1) Prepare; 2) Develop; and 3) Finalize (Figure 2.1). Phase 2 – Develop, has
three (3) sub-phases that establish the current conditions, determine the risk and vulnerabilities,
and identifies strategies and projects. In addition, Figure 2.2 depicts the timeline to complete the
project. While this methodology is in alignment with the FEMA guidance, sequence and naming
of the phases were adjusted to better suit the needs of the City of Temecula.

Figure 2.2 – Planning Timeline
Under the Prepare phase, general project tasks were completed. This included conducting an
Administrative Kick-Off meeting with the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT), an
identification of the Public Outreach effort, and a Kick-Off meeting with the city’s executive team.
As mentioned, the Develop phase had three (3) sub-phases. During the Existing Conditions sub-
phase, the Planning Team confirmed current City mitigation capabilities, including identification
of departments supporting mitigation, current governance guiding mitigation efforts,
identification of fiscal resource availability to possibly support mitigation, discussion of key
assets, and identification and description of local hazards within the City. Under the Risk
Assessment sub-phase, the Planning Team reviewed exposure and impacts of hazards within the
City, and prioritized hazards. The final sub-phase, Mitigation Strategies, had the Planning Team
discuss previous mitigation efforts, identify, and prioritize new mitigation projects, and develop
and implementation plan for each project.
Throughout the Develop Phase, plans and other documents, both internal and external, were also
analyzed and leveraged to ensure decisions were based on the best available information and
that proposed actions were compatible with other efforts. And conversely, efforts were made to
encourage results from the LHMP planning process were considered and incorporated into other
planning efforts.
The last phase of the planning process methodology was Finalize. During this phase, the Planning
Team reviewed and provided additional comments on the complete LHMP before being
forwarded to the County of Riverside, California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal
OES) and FEMA. This phase also included addressing both Cal OES and FEMA comments and
working with the City Council to adopt the LHMP.
Page|7
During the planning process, draft LHMP sections (i.e., capabilities, hazards, vulnerability,
mitigation strategies) were disseminated for review and comment as the Planning Team moved
through each phase and sub-phase. This helped the Planning Team focus their review on the
subject matter at hand and enforced the relationship between the phases. At the end of the
planning process, another review cycle was provided, this time with all draft sections under one
cover.
2.2.1 Participation in Regional (OA) Planning Process
The City of Temecula participated in the Regional LHMP planning process with the Riverside
County Operational Area by attending LHMP meetings and public hearings.
The City of Temecula participated in Riverside County workshops, conferences, and meetings,
including:
• 1 May 2022: Riverside County Emergency Management Department reached out to the
City of Temecula to ascertain their intent to participate in the multi-jurisdiction LHMP
planning process and obtain a letter of commitment.
• 17 May 2022: The City of Temecula processed their letter of commitment to participate
in the Riverside County Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP Planning Process and provided it to the
Riverside County Emergency Management Department.
• 1 June 2022: The City of Temecula received an invitation to participate in the Riverside
County LHMP Multi-Jurisdiction Workshop that was scheduled to occur on 15 June 2022.
• 15 June 2022: The City of Temecula participated in the Riverside County LHMP Jurisdiction
Workshop to begin the planning process.
o During this meeting an introduction to the OA planning process was introduced.
Numerous tools were provided to the participants to ensure they had a building
block in which to begin their individual planning processes
• 14 July 2022: Attended the Riverside County Emergency Managers Association (RCEMA)
Meeting where the OA LHMP was discussed.
• 5 Oct 2022: Attended the Riverside County OA LHMP Steering Committee Planning
Meeting where the membership continued to discuss the process, where the OA was at
within the planning process, and discussed measures to assist the local jurisdictions in
completing their individual plans.
• 4 Jan 2023: Attended the Riverside County LHMP Steering Committee Meeting

2.3 Planning Team
Building on the whole community concept, a Planning Team was established to assist with the
updating of the City of Temecula LHMP. The primary goal of the Planning Team is to help define
and identify the strategies within the LHMP. The Planning Team was led by representatives from
the Office of Emergency Management. The Office of Emergency Management representatives
took on the responsibility of Project Manager and facilitated and coordinated Planning Team
activities. Additionally, the City of Temecula Office of Emergency Management utilized their
organic Emergency Manager to provide technical support and provide the final updated LHMP.
2.3.1 Members
The City of Temecula Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) was comprised of subject matter
experts who could provide the greatest benefit to the team or represented specific topics
covered by the LHMP. Leveraging the list of Planning Team members during the last update to
the LHMP, the Office of Emergency Management evaluated, expanded, and confirmed the list of
Planning Team members. An email invite was sent out to each Planning Team member and a
series of follow-up phone calls were conducted to discuss the project and confirm participation.
Keeping the Planning Team to a manageable number of members while ensu ring that all
perspectives are captured and/or included in the process is challenging. To balance this, the
Planning Team members were urged to act as liaisons to community groups with whom they
regularly interact with, exchanging thoughts on the LHMP with other groups in the community.
Planning Team members were encouraged to communicate the direction and status of the
planning effort to their outside members and in return they were expected to bring outside
perspectives to the Planning Team. The City of Temecula took great efforts to engage and include
as many Planning Team members as possible. A list of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team
members can be found in Appendix 2.
2.3.2 Meetings
There were a series of meetings held with the Planning Team. Each meeting had a primary focus
and provided an opportunity to discuss/review information and exchange ideas. Below is a list of
the Planning Team meetings (Table 2.1) and Planning Team member attendance at each meeting
can be found at Appendix 3.

2.4 Community Stakeholder Involvement
2.4.1 Recurring Coordination
The City of Temecula attends and coordinates several meetings with community stakeholders
focused on Emergency Management topics (i.e., response, recovery, mitigation, preparedness,
and prevention). Prior to the LHMP update process, the city leverages these meetings to
announce and discuss the City’s intent to update its LHMP and solicit participation from
stakeholder representatives. A large number of these stakeholder meetings are organized by the
Riverside County Emergency Management Department (RIVCO EM D). The Riverside County EMD
leads the Riverside County Operational Area (OA) efforts. It’s role as lead is to support local
governments response and recovery operations. The Riverside County EMD also encourages
coordination across local governments and community stakeholders. Some of these efforts
include:
• Riverside County LHMP Steering Committee – meetings focused on maintaining,
coordinating, and updating the OA Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP and the individual agency
LHMP annexes.
• Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) – The OAPC was established by the County
of Riverside Emergency Management Department (EMD) as the lead County department
to ensure coordinated operation area level activities and administer the Emergency
Management Program on behalf of the County of Riverside, Operational Area (OA), and
the Director of Emergency Services.
• Riverside County Emergency Managers Association (RCEMA) – To coordinate notification
and information management for the Operational Area (OA); to maximize situational
awareness; and to provide a common operating picture for all emergency management
participants and stakeholders.
• City of Temecula Planning Commission - The Planning Commission (PC), serving as the
designated statutory planning agency for the City of Temecula, reviews and makes
recommendations on topics related to subdivisions, specific plans, zone changes, plot
plans and conducts legally required public hearings.
• City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission - The Public/Traffic Safety Commission
(PTSC) reviews and makes recommendations on topics related to speed zones, stop signs,
signals, pavement markings, traffic design and engineering.
• Citizen Corps Advisory Board - The Temecula Citizens Corps (TCC) Advisory Board is an
important and vital volunteer group that directly supports the TCC’s efforts to be a more
Page|10
prepared and disaster ready volunteer group within the city. As an advisory component,
the team provides mentorship, advise, guidance and support in growing the program,
increasing membership, and showcasing abilities and capabilities across the region.
The City of Temecula also meets quarterly with the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
(VOAD) group. The Riverside County chapter of the VOAD group is a community network of non-
partisan membership organizations that serves as the forum to share knowledge and resources
to help communities prepare for and recover from disasters. Further, VOAD fosters efficient
delivery of available member resources to persons with unmet needs affected by disaster.
At the local level, the City of Temecula meets with the faith-based organizations monthly through
the Murrieta/Temecula Valley Interfaith Council. This group coordinates all faith-based
organizations within the City of Temecula. The group promotes positive interfaith relationships,
enhances non-violent attitudes and behavior, supports peace, and promotes goodwill in
Temecula and surrounding communities. During disasters, this group supports this city not only
in having volunteers, but also in providing emotional and religious support upon request.
2.4.2 Stakeholder Mitigation Related Planning Resources
To ensure consistency with the region, the City of Temecula’s Office of Emergency Management
ensured the Planning Team reviewed and was aware of the State of California’s Hazard Mitigation
Plan (HMP) and several LHMP’s from surrounding urisdictions. This list included:
• State of California Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Riverside County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
• City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
• City of Murrieta Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians Tribal Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Rancho California Water District Hazard Mitigation Plan
While not technically considered a mitigation plan, the Planning Team also reviewed the new
draft of the City’s Emergency Operations Plan, the General Plan and Quality of Life Master Plan.
The value of reviewing EOP’s is to understand how the City of Temecula and other communities
within the region will respond to events and the type of equipment and facilities that they will
rely on. Gaining this perspective, the Planning Team was able to incorporate these considerations
into its LHMP. Although there is a concerted effort to incorporate LHMP information into the
General Plan Safety Elements, that is not always the case. A review of the Safety Elements can
provide additional insight into hazards within the community and present a closer tie to
community-wide goals and objectives.
Page|11
2.5 Public Outreach
For the purposes of the LHMP, the public is defined as any person within the jurisdiction or
adjacent areas, not part of the planning team, not acting in an official capacity of a recognized
form or level of government. There were two (2) different Public Outreach campaigns used
during the City of Temecula LHMP update process: first informing the community of the efforts
to update the LHMP and the second by educating the community of hazards and mitigation
process. Below is a summary of the campaigns.
2.5.1 LHMP Awareness Campaign
This campaign presents the strategy for how the City of Temecula engaged the public during the
LHMP update process. A significant piece of FEMA’s LHMP guidance is to ensure the “whole
community” is involved. A significant element of FEMA’s “whole community” is based on the
general public.
The public outreach strategy worked in conjunction with the LHMP planning process and the
timeline. As the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) completed critical milestones, key
information was disseminated to the public for consideration and input. This informati on was
published via the Office of Emergency Management webpage. All public outreach event s were
conducted in person and within the local community. The City of Temecula held three (3) public
meetings: one (1) at the start of the project; and two (2) at the end of the project. In addition to
the public meetings, pop-up booths at events across the city were used in providing update
information on the LHMP to the general public in keeping with the intent of including the “whole
community.” In between these meetings were a series of status updates provided through the
city website, keeping the general public aware of the progress and status of the project.
This outreach strategy shared information about the project kickoff, hazards and potential
impacts within the community, current mitigation capabilities, and proposed mitigation actions.
The information was shared through presentations, status updates, and a community -based
survey. Additionally, social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Nextdoor)
and email blasts were used heavily to promote the update to the plan and the need for the
community’s input ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive plan.
The for the update process, the City of Temecula leveraged the Public/Traffic Safety Commission
to engage the public. This commission holds regular, ongoing meetings with the public and its
purpose was in alignment with the LHMP efforts in promoting the public safety. On October 20,
2022, the City of Temecula published the commission agenda to the public announcing the LHMP
as an agenda item for the October 27th Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting.
A second public outreach meeting was held on XX Jan 23 and presented to the Public/Traffic
Safety Commission to provide an overview of the draft LHMP; a meeting announcement went
out on XX Jan 23. The presentation informed the community of the LHMP planning process and
the hazards identified for validation for the updated plan . The presentation provided an overview
Page|12
of the chapters in the LHMP, highlighting the proposed mitigation actions; inviting the public to
review and submit comments on the draft LHMP.
A third public outreach meeting was held on XX Jan 23 and presented to the City of Temecula
Planning Commission to provide an overview of the draft LHMP; a meeting announcement went
out on XX Jan 23. The presentation informed the commission and the community of the LHMP
planning process and the hazards identified for prioritization and validation for the updated plan.
The presentation provided an overview of the chapters in the LHMP, highlighting the proposed
mitigation actions; inviting the public to review and submit comments on the draft LHMP.
Attendance at the three Public Outreach meetings were nominal. The presentations were
prepared for each meeting to inform the public on mitigation, the LHMP update planning process,
and to walk the public through the LHMP content. During the meetings, some comments were
received, most requesting clarification of the content provided within the LHMP pres ented
material as well as a few questions on local topics. The draft LHMP was made available through
the City of Temecula’s Office of Emergency Management website. This website also provided a
function that allowed the public to submit comments on the LHMP after their review. The HMPT
received TBD comments during the Public Outreach review and comment period.
Comments received requesting to ……. All comments were shared with the HMPT; and revisions
were incorporated into the LHMP where appropriate. The public announcements and
presentations for all meetings can be found at Appendix 4.
2.5.2 Mitigation Awareness Campaign
Over the last 2 years, the City of Temecula has established both regular and AdHoc meetings and
events geared towards the exchange of information on preparedness and mitigation efforts.
AdHoc meetings/events consist of events run by the city or other organizations that may provide
opportunities to share and exchange information about hazard mitigation. The City organized
and/or participated in a number of local initiatives to inform the public of hazards in the
community and discussed possible mitigation actions. The City sponsor s and staff information
booths at local events, annual State of the City addresses, and volunteer events where the
promotion of hazard mitigation is one of the components to regular outreach. The City
encourages increased participation within our Citizen Corps Council, the Temecula Citizen Corps,
and promotes preparedness through the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program
of instruction. CERT training helps educate the community about hazards and trains citizens to
be self-sufficient and resilient immediately following a major emergency or disaster. The Office
of Emergency Management conducted a citizen survey during the LHMP process to gauge and
determine the level of knowledge local citizens have about potential disasters and assess areas
of vulnerability to various types of disasters within their individual communities. The survey
further discussed the level of preparedness from each respondent to determine the readiness
level of families which will lead to better engagement of the publics needs during emergencies.
Page|13
The city also leverages its social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), media (print,
broadcast), and other general public announcements to disseminate vital information about
hazards in the community, relevant programs being undertaken to safeguard the public from
effects of hazards, and actions the public can take to protect themselves during an emergent
event.

Page|15
The purpose of this section is to present an overview of the City of Temecula, providing the
Planning Team with a common understanding of the existing conditions and perspective on select
aspects within the community. Gaining a common understanding of the existing conditions
provides the basis on which the Planning Team can assess the impacts of hazards, as well as
identify needed mitigation actions.

Figure 3.3 – Physical Features Surrounding the City of Temecula
There are two (2) principal streams/creeks that drain into the City of Temecula, each present
identifiable hazards at peak flows:
• Temecula Creek – The Temecula Creek, formerly known as the Temecula River, runs 32.6
miles through southern Riverside County, California, nited States, past the rural
communities of Sage and Aguanga, and ending 0.5 miles southeast of the original city
center of Temecula. The creek is filled with boulders and is typically dry and sandy. It is a
relatively undeveloped coastal-draining watershed. Until the 1920s, water flowed in
Temecula Creek year-round.
• Murrieta Creek - The Murrieta Creek runs 13 miles southeasterly through
southwestern Riverside County, through the cities of ildomar, Murrieta, and Temecula,
ending 0.5 miles southeast of the city center of Temecula, where it has its conf luence
with Temecula Creek and forms the head of the Santa Margarita River. Murrieta Creek
Page|18
drains over 220 square miles. The creek has several minor tributaries, including flows
from Lake Skinner whose outlet is Tucalota Creek below the reservoir, which th en flows
to Santa Gertrudis Creek, then Murrieta Creek.
The Santa Margarita River, one of the last free-flowing rivers in Southern California extends 30.9
miles from the confluence of Temecula Creek and Murrieta Creek and is formed as a river where
the creeks meet. It flows southwest through the 5 miles of the Temecula Canyon at the south
end of the Santa Ana Mountains. Along its lower 10 miles the river forms a large floodplain as it
crosses Marine Corps Installations-West (MCI-West) Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (MCB
Camp Pendleton). It enters the Gulf of Santa Catalina on the Pacific Ocean approximately 3 miles
northwest of the City of Oceanside.
There are three (3) primary reservoirs that surround the City of Temecula that possess the ability
to catastrophically flood the city along the north, west, and southern sections of the city limits.
These are:
• Vail Lake Reservoir – Vail Lake sits to the east of Temecula City at a surface elevation of
1,460’. The lake has a holding capacity of 45,000 acre-feet but due to drought currently
holds 1/3 of its capacity. Temecula Creek and Wilson Creek provide inflow, and the lake
outflows back into Temecula Creek.
• Lake Skinner Reservoir - 10 miles northeast of the city at a surface elevation of 1,500 ‘.
The lake has a capacity of 44,200 acre-feet. The lake is supplied by the Colorado River
Aqueduct and the State Water Project and outflows into Tucalota Creek and the Santa
Margarita River.
• Diamond Valley Lake - Northeast of Temecula in unincorporated Hemet is one of the
largest reservoirs in Southern California. The lake has a surface elevation of 1,748’ and a
capacity of 800,000 acre-feet. The reservoir is supplied by the State Water Project and
supplies potable water to the Metropolitan Water District customers.
3.3 History
Temecula is one of the most historic communities in Southern California. Rancho California was
incorporated into a city on the 1st of December in 1989 and the citizens themselves voted to
officially name their city
"Temecula". Today, Temecula is a
vibrant and healthy City, culturally
diverse and encompassing all the
elements that represent a high
quality of life: built and natural
environment, economic and
educational opportunities,
recreation, shopping and
entertainment resources, and the
Page|19
ability to have a safe and healthy lifestyle. Yet despite such rapid growth, the City of Temecula
retains a sense of its past and a connection to its history. Since incorpor ation, Temecula has
grown from a small bedroom community to a regional center of business and economic growth,
which continues to prioritize a high quality of life for its 110,000 residents. In its 30+ years as a
City, the Temecula City Government, in partnership with residents, has set high standards for
excellence and clear priorities of safety that have made Temecula a great place to live, work and
play. The City’s approach to safety continues to evolve to meet the everchanging needs of its
residents and businesses as exampled by the creation of the City of Temecula comprehensive
Emergency Management Program and the update to our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan so that
Temecula may be a well-prepared and resilient City in the event of natural and other disasters.
Sustaining a safe community is the City’s most important obligation and number one priority.
3.4 Climate
Temecula’s climate is typical of Southern California inland areas. Residents of the City experience
hot, arid summers and mostly clear winters that are long, cool, and partly cloudy. The
temperature typically varies from 41 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit and is rarely below 34 degrees
Fahrenheit or above 96 degrees Fahrenheit. (Table 3.1)

3.7.3 Development Trends
The residential growth of the City of Temecula will continue to expand as there are many people
attracted to the City and the amenities it offers within the community. Steady growth has
occurred within the City of Temecula since the adopted 2017 LHMP. As anticipated, light
commercial growth will follow residential growth in these parts of the city, such as along the
Jefferson Corridor. Heavy commercial and industrial growth will continue to develop along the
western portions of the city, along the base of the hills making up the Santa Margarita Ecological
Preserve and along Interstate 15 and Highway 79. All development occurring over the past few
years was constructed in accordance with all local land use, building codes, zoning, and
environmental requirements, and applicable State and Federal regulations. Because of this
growth and rigorous project review over the past five (5) years, there have been no changes to
the community’s vulnerability.
Because much of the City of Temecula has already been developed , no major growth is
anticipated over the next five (5) years. Projected development is expected to center around the
Page|30
Jefferson Corridor and the Promenade Mall. The City has prepared specific plans for both of these
areas to ensure measured and safe development. The City anticipates adding more than 4,000
housing units by 2028, which will increase the population by more than 12,000 residents. Many
of these units will be pedestrian oriented multi-family housing.
According to the 2012 General Plan (currently under revision), the projected population at
buildout in the City of Temecula is approximately 118,900 persons. Buildout projections in the
2012 General Plan only factor in the potential maximums based on Land Use and Zoning
designations; it does not consider other factors that may limit growth (e.g., downturn in the
economy, building material shortages, etc.).
3.8 Key Assets
A subset of the general building stock are key buildings the City will rely on when responding to
and recovering from disaster events. Because of the role and importance of these facilities, the
City needs to ensure the facilities are maintained and will be functional during and after disasters.
Also, part of these key assets are systems and equipment used to perform certain functions
and/or operations. The list of key assets includes, but are not limited to: Police Stations, Fire
Stations, City Hall, Water facilities, Hospitals/Medical facilities, Community Centers, Maintenance
Yards, Mass Care & Shelter Sites, Libraries and Schools. A list of key assets can be found in
Appendix 5.

water quality by implementing programs that systematically reduce and eliminate
pollutants from urban runoff before reaching our local creeks. These creeks
historically receive untreated runoff through numerous storm-drain systems
throughout the city. Flows from each creek drain into the Santa Margarita River,
which ultimately discharges into the Pacific Ocean.
4.1.2 Contractors
The City of Temecula is able to hire contract employees. A contract employee is an individual
retained by the City for a predetermined time and price. Benefits of hiring contract employees
include:
• Ability to hire workers for short-term projects, on an as needed basis
• Ability to hire highly skilled individuals for which there is no one in -house qualifications
o Little to no downtime as noticed with onboarding new staff
• Lower overhead operating costs
o Do not need to pay taxes (social security, workers compensation) or provide
benefits (unemployment, health, sick leave, vacation time or retirement)
o Usually do not need to provide office space or equipment
Disadvantages of hiring contract employees include:
• May work for several employers simultaneously and may not be available when needed
• Integrating with City staff can be difficult because of remote working and unfamiliar with
city organization and resources
4.1.3 Volunteers
The City of Temecula has the ability to leverage volunteer workers. A volunteer worker generally
means anyone who agrees to work for free, California labor laws narrow in on a more specific
Page|43
definition of a volunteer. According to California Labor Code Sect ion 1720.4, which defines
volunteering in California’s labor law, an individual must perform services freely and without
coercion for a civic, humanitarian, or charitable purpose to be considered a volunteer. The legally
volunteer, an individual must offer his/her services to a public agency or non-profit organization.
Businesses may not legally utilize volunteers.
California Labor Law permits the extension of workers’ compensation to volunteers during their
time in service. orkers’ compensation is a type of insurance that covers employees in the event
of industrial or occupational injury. Often, public agencies will grant volunteers insurance
protection under workers’ compensation to help encourage volunteering and avoid the potential
for lawsuits. In order to be deemed an employee for workers’ compensation, the organization –
whether public or private – usually must declare a volunteer as such prior to an injury incident.
Under the law, this declaration should be in writing through a resolution of the gov erning body
of the organization or agency, such as its board of directors.
Unpaid internships are another volunteer opportunity the City can leverage; however, some
criteria must be met California Labor Relations Department has provided some clarification
regarding unpaid internships. Unpaid internships are a type of volunteering that is intended to
provide educational opportunities – and in some cases, school credit – for volunteers. As of April
of 2010, the California Labor Relations Department applies six (6) criteria based on federal law
when determining the legality of an unpaid internship: 1) the experience must resemble those of
vocational schools, 2) the experience is primarily for the benefit of the intern, 3) the intern does
not displace a regular employee, 4) the intern’s services provide no immediate advantage to the
employer, 5) the intern is not entitled to a job at the end of his/her internship, and 6) both the
employer and intern have a mutual understanding that no compensation is expected f or the
internship.
4.1.4 Mutual Aid
The City of Temecula has several mutual aid agreements, most focused on public safety and
emergency management. An emergency management mutual aid agreement defines and
formalizes the arrangement to lend assistance across jurisdictional boundaries in situations that
have exhausted internal resources or there is a need for increased capabilities. Some of the City
of Temecula mutual aid agreements are with the State of California. This enables the state to
request or fulfill requests for mutual aid from one region to another; enabling locals to maintain
their readiness in their region.
4.1.5 Partnerships
The City of Temecula has the ability to enter into partnerships with surrounding cities and
counties, outside agencies, special districts, and companies. Partnerships are an arrangement
where parties agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests. In most cases, partnerships
are done through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining the scope of work, the
mission, and roles and responsibilities.
Page|44
4.2 Mitigation Governance Resources
There are a variety of governance that are directly related to or influence mitigation efforts. This
governance falls under: 1) Laws, Regulations, Codes, and Ordinances; 2) Plans, Studie s, and
Reports; and 3) Programs. While the intent is to capture city-level information, there are some
state-level and/or county-level information that has direct implications on the city. As can be
expected, the city has greater ability to revise, adjust, add, and remove governance to better
reflect the needs of governance and its sponsors. The city regularly assesses and evaluates the
effectiveness of its governance and incorporates changes to help meet the intended goal. The
city does provide input and comments on governance sponsored by other organizations but
because the intended audience of the governance is usually greater than the city, it is not always
incorporated. To ensure that there is a comprehensive list of governance, relevant state -level
and/or county-level information is also captured.

4.3 Technical Resources
4.3.1 Proficiencies and Expertise
The City of Temecula has many proficiencies and expertise that can be leveraged in support of
mitigation efforts. In addition to public safety and fire suppression capabilities, the City has access
to staff with skills in Engineering/Construction, Planning, En vironmental, Risk Management,
Page|50
Project/Grant Management, Economic Development, Debris Removal, and Emergency
Management.
4.3.2 Technology
As with many jurisdictions, the City of Temecula has been increasing its technology capabilities.
This includes providing secure platforms to store and access information, means of ensuring
continuity of government, cyber security, and general technical support. A significant capability
available to support mitigation efforts is through the Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
section of the Information Technology and Support Systems (ITSS) Department. GIS is a computer
system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on the Earth’s
surface. By relating seemingly unrelated data, GIS can help individuals and organizations better
understand spatial patterns and relationships. The GIS section of ITSS is able to analyze and
generate reports of critical data (land use, built environment, natural environment), able to
demonstrate potential ramifications of actions or events, and generate graphic representations
of results.
4.3.3 Communications
The City of Temecula has several platforms in which to communicate with staff, surrounding
jurisdictions, and the general public. In addition to the standard methods (telephone/cellular
telephone, emails), the City has interoperable communications capabilities (radio
communications and satellite communications). In addition to the above 2-way communications
platforms, there are several “push” platforms that can be used. These consist of television (city
owned TV channel), broadcast radio, websites, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram).
The City of Temecula’s Emergency Mass Notification System, Temecula ALERT, will communicate
emergency and other urgent messages to residents of Temecula and any others that have opted
into our system thought the self-registration portal or SRP. The system uses both text and voice
message to keep residents in Temecula informed in case of emergencies that affect are as in
which they live or work. With this information, residents and businesses can make informed
decisions that help ensure the safety of family members, employees, pets, and property in the
event of fires, flood, earthquakes, or other types of disasters. In the event of an emergency,
residents will receive a message with the latest information and safety instruction. The system is
programmed to know whether or not the message has been delivered to a person, recorded to
voicemail, or was not delivered due to a telephone system error. The system will continue to
attempt to deliver its messages until the message is successfully delivered to a person, or until
the message expires. The system utilizes the area’s 9-1-1 database, provided by the local
telephone company, and thus is able to contact land-line telephones whether listed or unlisted.

4.4 Fiscal Resources
The financial resources of the City of Temecula are allocated to and accounted for in various
funds based upon the purposes for which the funds are to be spent and the means by which
spending activities are controlled. The various funds include: Governmental Funds; Proprietary
Funds; and, Fiduciary Funds.
• Governmental Funds - Used for most of city governmental functions. There are four (4)
types of Governmental Funds: General Fund; Special Fund; Debt Services Fund; and
Capital Project Funds.
o General Fund - The operating fund used to account for all activities, expect those
requires to be accounted for in another fund
o Special Fund - Used for proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted to
expenditures of special purposes
o Debt Services Fund - Used for accumulation of resources and the payment of
principal, interest, and related costs of general long-0term debt
o Capital Project Funds - Used for resources for the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities
• Proprietary Funds - Used for government’s business-type activities. These funds recover
the cost of providing services through fees and charges on those who use their serv ices.
There are two (2) types of Proprietary Funds: Enterprise Funds, and Internal Services
Funds.
o Enterprise Funds - used for services provided primarily to external customers and
legal requirements or management policy required services, including capital, be
fully recovered through fees and charges
o Internal Services Funds - used for services provided to other funds, departments,
or agencies of the government. Costs are allocated to the benefitting funds in the
form of fees and charges in order to recover the full cost of providing services
• Fiduciary Funds - used for assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for outside parties,
including individuals, private organizations, and other government.
4.4.1 Government Fund
The primary account for the City of Temecula under the Government Fund is the General Fund.
Reallocation of funds from the General Fund is the main source of funds the City can access to
implement mitigation projects. For the City of Temecula, the General Fund forecast over the
coming (5) five years is balanced, with its Reserve for Economic Uncertainty and its Secondary
Reserve fully funded in all (5) five years.
The City’s General Fund is pro ected to increase by 3.2% over the prior year. Our tax revenu es
are projected to increase by 4.3% (Figure 4.3) providing for the City’s stability and ability to fund
mitigation projects should an immediate need arise.
Page|52
Figure 4.3 – General Fund Projections
The majority of Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund revenue is made up of Sales Tax, Property Tax,
Property Tax in Lieu of ehicle License Fees, and contributions from the City’s one-percent
Transactions and se Tax (Measure S). The City’s Sales Tax base is fairly well diversified with 28%
coming from the Autos and Transportation sector, 22% from General Consumer Goods, 15% from
the County Pool which include sales tax from online retail sales, another 11% from Restaurants
and Hotels, and the remainder from Business and Industry, Food and Drugs and the Construction
sector of the local economy.
Figure 4.4 – General Fund Revenue
The largest expenditure of the General Fund is Public Safety, making up 57% of total General
Fund expenditures. In accordance with the Measure S ballot language and City Council
appropriation guidelines, the City has invested heavily in Public Safety over the past several years
and continues to hold Public Safety as its highest priority.
Page|53
Overall, the General Fund remains structurally balanced, with revenues exceeding expenditures,
and reserves are fully-funded each year of the ensuing five-year financial forecast. The City
continues to budget in a conservative, yet realistic, manner while keeping close watch on several
economic indicators. As conditions change, adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 revenue or
expenditure budgets will be recommended and presented to the City Council for their approval.
Figure 4.5 – General Fund Expenditures
4.4.1.1 City of Temecula Measure S Fund
With the approval of a one-cent transactions and use tax measure in November 2016, the
Measure S Fund was established to account for this new revenue source. Fiscal Year 2022-23
Measure S revenue is projected to increase by 4.0% to $37,610,081, as the local economy
continues to expand.
Measure S appropriations of $38,044,429 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 reflect the priorities established
in Budget Policy IV – Transactions and Use Tax Funding. The ending fund balance within the
Measure S Fund is projected to be $11,021,315, which will carry-forward to the ensuing fiscal
year. Over the ensuing five-year period, Measure S is projected to have adequate resources to
fund public safety, asset management, capital projects and general services.
As depicted in Figure 4.6 Measure S is an additional source of funding locally that provides for
the City’s ability to fund mitigation projects should federal or state hazard mitigation funding is
unavailable.
Page|54
Figure 4.6 – Measure S Appropriations
4.4.2 Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
Other means to implementing mitigation projects is the utilization of Proprietary and Fiduciary
Funds. While there are a variety of options that the City may be able to access under these funds,
the primary funds will be those secured through project grants, such as the FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs - Hazard Mitigation Grant Program - HMGP, Flood
Mitigation Assistance - FMA, or Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities - BRIC
(formerly, the Pre-Disaster Mitigation- PDM program). Currently, the City has not received any
FEMA HMA grants over the past five (5) years.
4.4.3 Education and Outreach Capabilities
Table 4.1 lists the City of Temecula’s financial and public outreach capabilities. These capabilities
include programs such as fire safety programs, hazard awareness campaigns, public information,
or communications offices. Education and outreach capabilities can be used to inform the public

AE, AH, D, and X, which are Special Flood Hazard Zones and Non-Special Flood Hazard Areas.
Areas located within Zones D and X are not in any immediate danger from flooding caused by
overflowing rivers or hard rains. However, it is noted that structures within a Non -Special Flood
Hazard Area are still at risk. Because the City is within Zone(s) A, AE, AH, D, and X, insurance
purchase is required for those locations residing within zones that begin with an A.
Notwithstanding, the City participates in the NFIP.

Special Flood Hazard Area(s)
• Zone A: The flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 1% annual chance
floodplains. No base (1% annual chance) flood elevations or depths are shown within this
zone.
• Zone AE: The flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 1% annual chance
floodplains.
• Zone AH: The flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the areas of 1% annual
chance shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1
and 3 feet.
• Other Areas of Flood Hazard
• Zone D (Areas of Undetermined Flood Hazard): The flood insurance rate zone that
corresponds to unstudied areas where flood hazards are undetermined, but possible.
• Zone X: Areas of 0.2% annual chance flood hazards and areas of 1% annual chance flood
hazards with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square
mile.

5.1 Overview
The purpose of this section is to capture the approach used by the City of Temecula’s Hazard
Mitigation Planning Team to identify and prioritize (screen) hazards within its community. This is
an important step to ensure all potential hazards are considered and relevant hazards ranked as
to the greatest concern within the community.
This section also presents relevant information (profiles) on each hazard in the community. The
“Hazard Profiles” provide a description of the hazard, the location and or extent of the hazard
within the community, the history of the hazard within the community, the probability of the
hazard occurring in the community, and a discussion of any considerations needed due to
changing conditions (i.e., climate). This information was ref erenced when prioritizing hazards.
5.2 Hazard Identification
The HMPT went through an extensive effort to identify all of the hazards present in the
community. The Planning Team started with the list of hazards in the City of Temecula 2017 LHMP
and augmented the list as necessary. This augmentation considered adding, removing, and
renaming of hazards to create a list of all potential hazards in the community. The HMPT utilized
several external resources to ensure they were considering all potential hazards. These resources
included the State of California HMP (2018), the Riverside County OA LHMP (2017), and several
other surrounding community LHMPs (i.e., Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Menifee). This helped the
Planning Team understand statewide, countywide, and surrounding area hazard concerns. Each
hazard identified in the external resources were reviewed and considered by the Planning Team.
After careful review and consideration, the Planning Team identified the following top 10 hazards
for inclusion in the City of Temecula’s LHMP update:
• Transportation Failure
• Fire (Wildfire)
• Earthquake
• Electrical Failure (Public Safety Power Shutoff)
• Flooding
• Communications Failure
• Pandemic
• Hazardous Materials Incident
• Extreme Weather – Heat
• Drought
As a note, no hazards from the City of Temecula’s 2017 LHMP were removed, however, the
Planning Team did re-prioritize the list of hazards as listed above. It is also important to note that
5. HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Page|58
the Planning Team did revise the name and description of some haz ards to provide more clarity
and understanding of the hazard. This step also led to separating and creating distinct individual
hazards (i.e., Power Outage (PSPS)/Extreme Weather - Heat). The changes to the hazard
descriptions and other relevant hazard information are captured under sub section 5.4 - Hazard
Profiles.
5.3 Hazard Screening and Prioritization
After the list of hazards was identified, the Planning Team went through a process to prioritize
(screen) the hazards to determine which hazards created the greatest concern in the community.
The Planning Team utilized a non-numerical ranking system that was implemented during this
update to the City of Temecula LHMP. This process consists of generating a qualitative ranking,
High, Medium, or Low rating for: 1) Probability; and 2) Impact from each hazard. As part of this
process, the following criteria (definitions) were applied:
• Probability
o High: (Highly Likely/Likely) There may or may not have been historic
occurrences of the hazard in the community or region, but experts feel that it is
likely that the hazard will occur in the community. Citizens feel that there is a
likelihood of occurrence.
o Medium: (Possible) There may or may not have been a historic occurrence of the
hazard in the community or region, but experts feel that it is possible that the
hazard could occur in the community. Citizens may feel that there is a likelihood
of occurrence.
o Low: (Unlikely) There have been no historic occurrences of the hazard in the
community or region and both experts and citizens agree that it is highly unlikely
that the hazard will occur in the community.
• Impact
o High: (Catastrophic/Critical) Both experts and citizens feel that the consequences
will be significant in terms of building damage and loss of life.
o Medium: (Limited, but not insignificant) Consequences are thought to be modest
in terms of building damage and loss of life, limited either in geographic extent or
magnitude.
o Low: (Negligible) Consequences are thought to be minimal in terms of building
damage and loss of life, limited either in geographic extent or magnitude.
After each hazard was ranked using the above criteria, the results were displayed in a graph to
assist the Planning Team validate the results (Figure 5.1). The Planning Team determined all
hazards falling within the gray-colored boxes were Tier I priority hazards, those within the blue-
colored boxes were Tier II priority hazards, and those within the purple-colored boxes were Tier
III priority hazards. The higher priority hazards (Tier I and Tier II), reflect those hazards the
Planning Team determined the community should focus on over the next five (5) years. This does
Page|59
not mean that the community will not address the lower priority hazards. It means if resources
are limited (i.e., funding, staffing), the primary focus will be on the higher priority hazards.

5.4 Hazard Profiles
The Hazard Profiles include the incorporation of all new information, material, and reports to
better help the Planning Team and the community understand the hazard. The hazards are
organized alphabetically as identified in the hazard priority matrix. The top 10 hazards assessed
by the Planning Team are summarized below:
5.4.1 Top 10 Hazards
The hazards, in alphabetical order, include Communications Failure; Drought; Earthquake;
Electrical Failure; Extreme Weather – Heat; Fire (Wildfire); Flooding; Hazardous Materials
Incident; Pandemic; and Transportation Failure.
5.4.1.1 Communications Failure
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - Medium
• Description
Page|60
Technology disruption includes both deliberate (cyber -attacks) or accidental (equipment failure
or human error) actions that can cause the loss of use of technology and/or data. A cyber
threat/attack is a circumstance or event that has or indicates the potential to exploit technology
vulnerabilities and to adversely impact organizational operations, organizational assets (including
information and information systems), individuals, other organizations, or society. Crit ical
infrastructure, such as utilities and telecommunications, are also potential targets. Cyber
threats/attacks are most easily described as either external threats (where attacks originate
outside of established networks) or internal/insider threats (where attacks originate from users
who have existing access to an internal network). Examples of cyber threats/attacks include
malware and hacking, phishing, denial of service attacks, ransomware, and state -sponsored
hacking. Any one of these threats, if initiated, and successful, can produce a cyber-attack that has
major implications throughout the organization. Recent report produced by Verizon (2020)
analyzes 32,002 security incidents and 3,950 confirmed breaches from 81 global contributors
from 81 countries and indicate the following trends:
✓ 86% of data breaches for financial gain - up from 71% in 2019
✓ Cloud-based data under attack – web application attacks double to 43%
✓ 67% of breaches caused by credential theft, errors, and social attacks
✓ Clearly identified cyber-breach pathways enable a “Defender Advantage” in the fight
against cyber-crime
✓ On-going patching successful - fewer than 1 in 20 breaches exploit vulnerabilities
✓ 37% of credential theft breaches used stolen or weak credentials
✓ 25% involved phishing
✓ Human error accounted for 22%
• Location and Extent
Technology disruptions can happen anywhere within the City but will generally be targeted
towards larger corporations or government organizations.
• History
While there have been several smaller cyber threats and hacking, none have reached a level of
significance. However, the frequency of cyber-attacks on public and private sector organizations
in general, continues to rise.
• Probability
The probability of technology disruptions is on the rise globally, national, and locally. The
probability of occurrence of cyber threats is rapidly increasing, especially with increased reliance
on the Internet and cloud-based computing. However, cyber security threats/attacks will
generally be targeted towards larger corporations or state/national governments which are not
located within the county.
Page|61
Local governments are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals on the basis that they have
fewer resources to defend themselves. Unlike natural hazards, where there is historical data, and
some predictive modeling can occur, cyber-attacks are an emerging hazard, which are more
challenging to anticipate.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there is little evidence to link climate change to increase in occurrences of cyber security
threats/attacks, the target could be related to persons/groups with issues with individuals or
companies they perceive to have effect on the climate (i.e., greenhouse gas producers) within
the community. And much like terrorism, depending on the consequence of the cyber -attack, it
could hinder the response and recovery efforts.
5.4.1.2 Drought
• Ranking: Probability – High; Impact - Medium
• Description
Drought can best be thought of as a condition of water shortage for a particular user in a
particular location. Drought is a gradual phenomenon and generally are not signified by one or
two dry years. California’s extensive system of water supply infrastructure (reservoirs,
groundwater basins, and interregional conveyance facilities) generally mitigates the effects of
short‐term dry periods for most water users. However, drought conditions are present when a
region receives below-average precipitation, resulting in prolonged shortages in its water supply,
whether its water supply is provided by atmospheric, surface, or ground water means. A drought
can last for months or years or may be declared after as few as 15 days.
Drought is not a purely physical phenomenon, but rather an interplay between natural water
availability and human demands for water supply. The precise definition of drought is made
complex owing to political considerations, but there are generally four (4) types of conditions
that are referred to as drought:
• Meteorological drought is brought about when there is a prolonged period with less
than average precipitation.
• Agricultural drought is brought about when there is insufficient moisture for average
crop or range production. This condition can arise, even in times of average
precipitation, owing to soil conditions or agricultural techniques.
• Hydrologic drought is brought about when the water reserves available in sources such
as aquifers, lakes, and reservoirs fall below the statistical average. This condition can
arise, even in times of average (or above average) precipitation, when increased usage
of water diminishes the reserves.
• Socioeconomic drought associates the supply and demand of water services with
elements of meteorological, hydrologic, and agricultural drought. Socioeconomic
Page|62
drought occurs when the demand for water exceeds the supply as a result of weather-
related supply shortfall.
The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of drought conditions produced
jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, and the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The map is based on measurements of climatic, hydrologic and soil conditions as well as reported
impacts and observations from more than 350 contributors around the country. Droughts are
generally categorized into five (5) categories: D1) Abnormally Dry, D2) Moderate Drought; D3)
Severe Drought; D4) Extreme Drought; and D5) Exceptional Drought. There are many
considerations that are factored into the determining the drought status; these include
consideration of status on the: Palmer Drought Severity Index; CPC Soil Moisture Model; USGS
Weekly Streamflow; Standardized Precipitation Index; and Objective Drought Indicator Blends.
• Location and Extent
The entire City of Temecula is subject to drought conditions and water shortage s.
Figure(s) 5.2 and 5.3 – Riverside County / Temecula Current Drought Conditions
Page|63
• History
It was only recently that the State of California emerged from a proclaimed a State of Emergency
due to extremely dry conditions. The longest duration of drought (D1-D4) in California lasted 376
weeks beginning on December 27, 2011 and ending on March 5, 2019. The most intense period
of drought occurred 2014 and 2017, where at its peak over 50% of the land in California was
under Exceptional Drought (D4) conditions. The City of Temecula has experienced several
droughts, most recently during the statewide drought from 2011-2019. In March of 2022, the
Governor of California re-issued a proclamation and orders from previous years placing
communities back into water conservation efforts state-wide.
• Probability
In any given year, California and the City of Temecula can be subject to drought conditions and
water shortages. This is especially true since much of the water is provided by outside resources,
resources that are shared with others. It is also important to note that droughts do not h appen
overnight, they are a slow buildup of conditions. On average, seventy -five percent (75%) of the
state’s annual precipitation occurs in the “wet season”- November thru March. December,
January, and February generally see the most precipitation but the re have been many early and
late season storms that bring in a substantial amount of precipitation. One of the best ways to
predict drought conditions is to study the status of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
patterns. In California. ENSO is a periodic shifting of ocean atmosphere conditions in the tropical
Pacific that ranges from El Niño (warm phase) to neutral to La Niña (cold phase). La Niña
conditions tend to favor a drier outlook for Southern California; while the El Niño conditions favor
stronger, and wetter storms.
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate change has the potential to make drought events more common in the West, including
California. Extreme heat creates conditions more conducive for evaporation of moisture from the
ground, thereby increasing the possibility of drought. A warming planet could lead to earlier
melting of winter snowpacks, leaving lower stream flows and drier conditions in the late spring
and summer. Snowpacks are important in terms of providing water storage and ensuring
adequate supply in the summer when water is most needed. Changing precipitation distribution
and intensity have the potential to cause more of the precipitation that does fall to run-off rather
than be stored. The result of these processes is an incr eased potential for more frequent and
more severe periods of drought.
5.4.1.3 Earthquake
• Ranking: Probability – High; Impact - High
• Description
The City of Temecula is located near several known active and potentially active earthquake faults
including the Elsinore Fault, San Jacinto Fault, San Andreas Fault, and the Rose Canyon Fault. The
Page|64
major potential for earthquake damage to Temecula is from activity along the San Jacinto Fault.
The San Jacinto fault line is located approximately 50 miles to the East of Temecula.
In the event of an earthquake, the location of the epicenter as well as the time of day could have
a profound effect on the potential number of deaths and casualties. An earthquake occurring in
or near this area could result in property damage, environmental damage, and disruption of
normal government and community services and activities. The effects could be exacerbated by
collateral damage such as fires, flooding, hazardous materials spills, utility disruptions, landslides,
transportation failures and possible dam failures.
Significant damage to buildings and infrastructure could occur due to severe ground shaking. The
community needs could quickly exceed the response capability of the City of Temecula’s
emergency management organization, requiring mutual aid from across the county and/or
region. Response and disaster relief support could be required from the county, state, and fede ral
government.
The primary consideration during an earthquake is the preservation of life. Emergency response
will include providing shelter to displaced citizens and restoring basic needs and services. A major
effort will be made to remove debris and clearing of roadways, demolition of unsafe structures,
assisting in the reestablishment of public services and utilities while providing care for affected
citizens. After any earthquake, there could be a loss of income. Individuals could lose wages due
to business closure or damage to goods. Economic recovery is critical to our community.
A fault is a fracture in the earth’s crust whereby two blocks of the crust have slipped with respect
to each other. Faults are divided into three main groups, depending on how they move.
A: Strike-slip (lateral) Faults – These occur in response to
either type of stress. The blocks move horizontally past one
another.
B: Normal Faults – These occur in response to pulling or
tension. The overlying block moves down the dip of the fault
plane.
C: Thrust (reverse) Faults – These occur in response to
squeezing or compression. The overlying block moves up
the dip of the fault plane.
The effect of an earthquake on various locations throughout the felt
area is called the intensity. The intensity scale consists of a series of
certain key responses such as people awakening, movement of furniture, damage to chimneys,
and total destruction of property. The scale currently used in the United States is the Modified
Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale (Table 5.1). It was developed in 1931 by the American
seismologists Harry Wood and Frank Neumann. This scale is composed of increasing levels of
intensity designated by Roman numerals that range from imperceptible shaking (MMI I) to
Page|65
catastrophic destruction (MMI X). It does not have a mathematical basis; instead, it is an empirical
scale based on observed effects.
Table 5.1 – Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale
However, most people are familiar with the Richter scale, a method of rating earthquakes based
on the amplitude of seismic waves - an indirect measure of energy released (Table 5.2). The
Richter scale is logarithmic. Each one-point increase corresponds to a 10-fold increase in the
amplitude of the seismic shock waves and a 32-fold increase in energy released. For example, an
earthquake registering magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale releases over 1,000 times more energy
than an earthquake registering magnitude 5.0. It should be noted that while an earthquake may
have many intensity values across the impacted area, there is just one Richter magnitude
associated with each event.
Table 5.2 – Richter Scale
Page|66
Ground shaking and ground deformation (i.e., surface fault rupture, landslides, and
liquefaction) are the specific hazards associated with earthquakes. The severity of these
hazards depends on several factors, including soil and slope conditions, proximity to the fault,
magnitude, and the type of earthquake.
• Ground Shaking- Ground shaking is the motion felt on the earth's surface caused by
seismic waves generated by the earthquake. It is the primary cause of earthquake
damage. The strength of ground shaking depends on the magnitude of the earthquake,
the type of fault, distance from the epicenter (where the earthquake originates), and
local soil conditions. Soils and soft sedimentary rocks near the earth's surface can
amplify earthquake ground shaking. Amplification increases the magnitude of the
seismic waves generated by the earthquake. The amount of amplification is influenced
by the thickness of geologic materials and their physical properties. Buildings and
structures built on soft and unconsolidated soils can face greater risk. Amplification can
also occur in areas with deep sediment filled basins and on ridge tops. Peak Ground
Acceleration (PGA) is a measure of the strength of ground shaking. Larger PGAs result in
greater damage to structures. PGA is used to depict the risk of damage from future
earthquakes by showing earthquake ground motions that have a specified probability
(10%, 5%, or 2%) of being exceeded in 50 years return period. These values are often
used for reference in construction design, and in assessing relative hazards when
making economic and safety decisions.
• Surface Fault Rupture- As previously mentioned, the sudden sliding of one part of the
earth’s crust past another releases the vast storage of elastic energy in the rocks as an
earthquake. The resulting fracture is known as a fault, while the sl iding movement of
earth on either side of a fault is called fault rupture. Fault rupture generally begins
below the ground surface at the earthquake hypocenter, typically between three and
ten miles below the ground surface in California. If an earthquake is large enough, the
fault rupture will reach the ground surface (referred to as “surface fault rupture”),
wreaking havoc on structures built across its path. Structures built across the fault are a
risk of significant damage from surface fault rupture. In California, the 1972 Alquist-
Priola Earthquake Fault Zoning Act prohibits the siting of most structures for human
occupancy across traces of active faults that constitute a potential hazard to structures
from surface faulting. Recent large earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan have shown that
few structures built across the surface traces of faults can withstand the large
displacements that may occur during an earthquake.
• Landslides- Earthquake-induced landslides are secondary earthquake hazards that
occur from ground shaking. They can destroy the roads, buildings, utilities, and other
critical facilities necessary to respond and recover from an earthquake. Many
communities in Southern California have a high likelihood of encountering such risks,
especially in areas with steep slopes. (NOTE: while mentioned here, landslides are
covered under a separate hazard)
Page|67
• Liquefaction- Liquefaction is the phenomenon that occurs when ground shaking
causes loose, saturated soils to lose strength and act like viscous fluid. Liquefaction
causes two types of ground failure: lateral spread and loss of bearing strength. Lateral
spreads develop on gentle slopes and entail the sidelong movement of large masses of
soil as an underlying layer liquefies. Loss of bearing strength occurs when the soil
supporting structures liquefy, causing the structures to settle, resulting in damage and,
in some cases, collapse.
• Location and Extent
There are several fault lines that pass through or are near the City of Temecula. The fault of most
interest is the Elsinore Fault. The Elsinore Fault line passes through the western portion of the
city and spans both sides of the I-15 Freeway. The fault is a right-lateral strike slip fault and is
about 180km in length with a slip rate of roughly 4.0 mm/year. The Elsinore fault has the
capability of producing a temblor of a 6.5 to 7.5 magnitude. The most recent rupture on record
was recorded on the 15th of May of 1910 and was a magnitude 6.0.
The Elsinore fault zone is one of the largest in southern California, and in historical times, has
been one of the quietest. The southeastern extension of the Elsinore fault zone, t he Laguna
Salada fault, ruptured in 1892 in a magnitude 7 quake, but the main trace of the Elsinore fault
zone has only seen one historical event greater than magnitude 5.2 -- the earthquake of 1910, a
magnitude 6 shock near Temescal Valley, which produced no known surface rupture and did little
damage.
Figure 5.4 – Elsinore Fault Line – City of Temecula
The San Jacinto Fault extends 125 miles from near El Centro to near San Bernardino intersecting
freeways 10, 215, and 60. This fault is a right-lateral strike-slip and minor right-reverse fault. The
slip rate is typically between 7 and 17mm/year and capable of producing an earthquake between
Page|68
6.5M and 7.5M. The last known quake on this fault line was on the 9 th of April 1968 and registered
a magnitude 6.5 on the Coyote Creek segment of the fault line.
Figure 5.5 – Temecula Fault Lines
The San Andreas Fault passes between 80-100 miles to the east of Temecula. There are only two
large known historic earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault in Southern CA, the most recent in
1857, and before that one in 1812. With about 45 years between the historic earthquakes but
about 160 years since the last one, it is clear that the fault does not behave like a clock with a
regular beat. Historic information doesn’t provide enough data to establish whether or not there
is a pattern in the timing of earthquakes, but paleoseismology has provided an abundance of
data.
Along the southernmost San Andreas, from Palm Springs to the Salton Sea, earthquakes happen
infrequently, about every 200-300 years. The most recent earthquake occurred during the time
of Spanish exploration, about 300 years ago, but there is no historic record of the event. Instead,
radiocarbon dating provides the age of the most recent earthquake and six more that occurred
since about 800 A.D. In total, the fault stretches from Northern California to the Mexican b order
and is over 600 miles long. The San Andreas Fault has the potential for producing an 8.3
magnitude earthquake.
• History
There are 45 states and territories in the nited States at “moderate” to “very high” risk from
earthquakes, and they are located in every region of the country. California experiences the most
frequent damaging earthquakes; however, Alaska experiences the greatest number of large
Page|69
earthquakes—most located in uninhabited areas. The largest earthquakes felt in the United
States were along the New Madrid Fault in Missouri, where a three-month long series of quakes
from 1811 to 1812 included three quakes larger than a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale. These
earthquakes were felt over the entire Eastern United States, with Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi experiencing the strongest ground
shaking.
Historical and geological records show that California has a long history of seismic events . In
California, movement between the North American and the Pacific tectonic plates manifest
primarily along a region known as the San Andreas Fault system. Experts believe the San Andreas
Fault is capable of producing an earthquake of magnitude 8.0+ over the next few years. The San
Andreas Fault is considered the “Master Fault” because it has frequent (geologically speaking),
large earthquakes, and it controls the seismic hazard in southern California. Faults in the San
Andreas Fault zone that passes through Los Angeles County are part of the very active southern
segment. This segment includes historically active, active, potentially active, and inactive faults.
In June of 1992, the M7.3 Landers Earthquake ruptured 85 km (53 miles) along a series of faults
in a roughly contiguous fault system, including the Johnson Valley, Landers, Homestead Valley,
Emerson, and Camp Rock faults. The largest aftershock of the Landers e arthquake was the M6.4
Big Bear Earthquake, which caused damage and landslides in the Big Bear area. Other significant
earthquake events in the region included:
• Newport-Inglewood Earthquake, 6.4m (1933)- 120 deaths, over $50 million in damage
• San Fernando (Sylmar) Earthquake, 6.5m (1971)- 65 deaths, over $500 million in damage
• Whittier Narrows Earthquake 5.9m (1987)- 8 deaths, over $358 million in damage
• Sierra Madre Earthquake 5.8m (1991)- 2 deaths, over $40 million in damage
• Chino Hills Earthquake 5.4m (2008)- no casualties and only minor damage
• City of Los Angeles Earthquake 4.7m (2009)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• El Mayor Cucapah Earthquake 7.2m (2010)- major damages to the area and Imperial County
• Calimesa 4.1m (2011)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• La Habra Earthquake 5.1m (2014)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Fontana Earthquake 4.4m (2014)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Running Springs 4.6m (2014)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Fontana 4.2m (2015)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Big Bear Lake 4.0m (2015)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Muscoy 4.4m (2015)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Banning 4.4m (2016)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Cabazon 4.5m (2017)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Big Bear 3.5m (2018)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Trona (2019)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage
• Ridgecrest 7.1m (2019)- no casualties and minor to moderate damage

Figure 5.6 – San Andreas Fault – Historical Timeline
Southern California area has experienced several earthquakes, two very large earthquakes, the
Fort Tejon in 1857 (M7.9) and the Owens Valley in 1872 (M7.6) are evidence of the tremendously
damaging potential of earthquakes in Southern California. The Fort Tejon earthquake surface
rupture broke the portions of the central and southern segments of the San Andreas Fault system
(Cholame, Carrizo, and Mojave segments), resulting in displacements of as much as 27 feet (9
meters) along the rupture zone. These fault segments are thought to have an incident recurrence
interval of between 104 and 296 years. The most recent significant earthquake event affecting
the region was the Northridge Earthquake. At 4:31 A.M. on Monday, January 17, 1994, a very
damaging earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 struck the San Fernando Valley. In the following
days and weeks, thousands of aftershocks occurred, causing additional damage to affected
structures. Effects of the earthquake were felt north into Ventura County, south in Orange
County, and east into Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
• Probability
Earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and
at any time of the day or night. On a yearly basis, 70 to 75 damaging earthquakes occur
throughout the world. Recent estimates of expected annualized earthquake loss for the U.S.
totals $5.3 billion per year, with 66% ($3.5 billion) concentrated within the State of California,
and $397 million in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (FEMA, 2008).
The probability of a significant (M6.7 or greater) earthquake occurring in Southern California in
the next 30 years has been estimated to be 97% by the 2007 California Working Group on
Earthquake Probability, as shown in Figure 5.7. California Area 30-Year Earthquake Probabilities.
(USGS Open-File Report 2007-1437).
Page|71
Figure 5.7 – California 30-Year Earthquake Probabilities
• Climate Change Considerations
To date, no credible evidence has been provided that links climate to earthquakes. However,
climate and weather does play a significant role in the response and recovery from earthquakes.
Effects from climate change could create cascading complications and impacts.
5.4.1.4 Electrical Failure
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - High
• Description
For the purposes of this LHMP, Electrical Failure hazards are confined to rolling blackouts or
brownouts and Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS) events. While some accidents can cause
energy electrical failures, they are usually smaller, localized events and are not part of this
assessment. Additionally, electrical failures hazards can be consequences from other events.
These electrical outage consequences are discussed under the primary hazard event (high winds,
wildfire, earthquake). A brownout is a partial, temporary reduction in total system capacity, while
a blackout is a complete interruption in power. A brownout is caused by high electricity demand
that is near or above a utility’s production capacity. hen this occurs, the utility may reduce the
Page|72
flow of electricity to certain areas to prevent a blackout. The state of California has also
implemented “Flex Alerts” to bring awareness to times in which supply and demand of power
could become an issue. A blackout is a large-scale service interruption that can happen as a result
of severe weather or equipment failure at power plants. There are several factors that can play
into electrical failures: 1) increased demand within the city; and 2) increased demand elsewhere.
Because Southern California Edison is part of the western power grid, increases in other parts in
the west region could curtail the energy available to the City.
PSPS events are initiated by power utility companies and are implemented in response to severe
weather events. The purpose is to mitigate the increased fire risk during “red flag” weather
conditions. Red flag weather conditions include high winds, low humidity, and high
temperatures. By shutting off power, the utility companies are ensuring that electrical
equipment, which can arc and spark, during severe events, will not exacerbate or start a fire.
• Location and Extent
A Power Outage event can occur throughout the en tire city at any time.
• History
Southern California has experienced a population growth over the years. This coupled with
changes to daily lifestyles (heavier reliance on power) and changing weather patterns have
contributed to a higher demand for power over recent years. Because of this, the City of
Temecula, like other parts of California, have had power outage events related to the failure of
the statewide or regional systems not being able to meet demand. Electrical failure events usually
occur during the warmer summer months and have lasted for a few hours and in some cases
days. Recently, the City has experienced several power outages and electrical events due to the
power company’s implementing PSPS events in response to Red Flag weather conditions. Similar
to the power outage during the summer months, these PSPS power outage s are relativity short
in duration.
• Probability
There are no studies that predict the probability of electrical failure events; however, it is
expected that there is a higher probability of events occurring during the warmer summer
months and during Red Flag (high temperatures, low humidity, high wind) events.
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate can play a significant role in Electrical Failure and Outage events. As temperatures rise
due to changing conditions, it will have significant impacts on energy supply and demand.
Additionally, changing climate conditions can create more Red Flag events, causing the power
companies to consider turning off power to lessen the potential fire threat.

5.4.1.5 Extreme Weather – Heat
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - High
• Description
Extreme Heat conditions, according to the EPA and CDC, is defined as weather that is much hotter
and more humid than average for a particular time and place. The heat index is a measure of how
hot it feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air tempe rature (Figure 5.8).
Relative humidity is the percentage of moisture in the air compared with the maximum amount
of moisture the air can hold. Humidity is an important factor in how hot it feels because when
humidity is high, water doesn’t evaporate as easily, so it’s harder for your body to cool off by
sweating.
Figure 5.8 – NO ’ N W h H
Extreme heat is not just a nuisance; it kills hundreds of Americans every year and causes many
more to become seriously ill. Measures to prevent illness are generally common sense, including
staying cool indoors, keeping hydrated, limiting physical activity, and monitoring those at highest
risk.
• Location and Extent
The entire city is subject to Extreme Weather (Heat) conditions. While this will affect humans, a
significant impact would be felt on livestock and agriculture. The City of Temecula is home to the
Page|74
Temecula Wine Country and has several wineries and growers that produce grapes and other
crops.
• History
The City of Temecula experiences extreme temperatures on an annual basis. In most instances,
the events are short in duration and do not create significant impacts on the community. Some
of the minor events do require the City to act including dissemination of Public Service
Announcements, checking in with vulnerable populations (elderly, homeless), and opening
and/or coordinate with others to open cooling centers. Some of the more significant extreme
weather events in the region include:
• In August of 2022 an extreme heat event occurred impacting the Southwestern
Region of Riverside County which includes Temecula.
• In September of 2020 a severe early-September heat wave challenged record high
temperatures across the region with local communities recording record high
temperatures.
• Probability
In any given year Temecula could experience extreme heat events.
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate plays a significant role in Excessive Heat events. As temperatures rise and fall due to
changing conditions, Californians will face greater possibility of Extreme Heat. By mid‐century,
extreme heat events in urban centers could cause two to three times more heat ‐related deaths
than occur today. By 2100, The California Energy Commission is projecting hotter temperatures
are expected throughout the state, with an increase of 3 to 5.5°F under the lower emissions
scenario and 8 to 10.5°F under the higher emissions scenario (Figure 5.9).
Figure 5.9 – Comparison between Historic and Projected Temperatures
Page|75
According to the EPA and CDC, the chances are increasing that an Extreme Heat event could
happen where you live because, the average temperatures are rising, both in the United States
and around the world:
✓ Globally, the annual average temperature has been rising since the beginning of the
20th century, and temperatures are expected to continue to rise through the end of
this century.
✓ Worldwide, 15 of the 16 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000, with the
exception of 1998
5.4.1.6 Fire (Wildfire)
• Ranking: Probability – High; Impact - High
• Description
Wildfires can be started by natural and mad-made causes. There are three (3) different classes
of wild land or wildfires: 1) surface; 2) ground; and 3) crown. A “Surface fire” is the most common
type and burns along the floor of a forest, moving slowly and killing or damaging trees. A “Ground
fire”; usually started by lightning, are fed by subterranean roots, and smolder on or below the
forest floor. A “Crown fire” spread rapidly by wind and move quickly by umping along the tops
of trees.
Wildfires can be classified as either a wildland fire or a wildland -urban interface (WUI) fire.
Wildland fires involve situations where a fire occurs in an area that is relatively undeveloped
except for the possible existence of basic infrastructure such as roads and power lines. A WUI fire
includes situations in which a wildland fire enters an area that is developed with structures and
other human developments. In WUI fires, the fire is fueled by both naturally occurring vegetation
and the urban structural elements themselves. According to the National Fire Plan issued by the
U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior, the wildland-urban interface is defined as “…the
line, area, or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with
undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels.”
The WUI fire can be subdivided into three (3) categories (NWUIFPP, 1998): 1) classic wildland-
urban interface; 2) the mixed wildland-urban interface; and 3) the occluded wildland-urban
interface. The classic wildland-urban interface exists where well-defined urban and suburban
development presses up against open expanses of wildland areas. The mixed wildland-urban
interface is characterized by isolated homes, subdivisions, and small communities situated
predominantly in wildland settings. The occluded wildland- urban interface exists where islands
of wildland vegetation occur inside a largely urbanized area. Generally, many of the areas at risk
within the City of Temecula fall into the classic wildland-urban interface category.
Certain conditions must be present for a wildfire hazard to occur; a large source of fuel must be
present, the weather must be conducive (generally hot, dry, and windy), and fire suppression
sources must not be able to easily suppress and control the fire. The c ause of a majority of
Page|76
wildfires is human-induced or lightning; however, once burning, wildfire behavior is based on
three (3) primary factors: 1) fuel; 2) topography; and 3) weather. Fuel will affect the potential
size and behavior of a wildfire depending on the amount present, its burning qualities (e.g., level
of moisture), and its horizontal and vertical continuity. Topography affects the movement of air,
and thus the fire, over the ground surface. The terrain can also change the speed at which the
fire travels, and the ability of firefighters to reach and extinguish the fire. Weather as manifested
in temperature, humidity, and wind (both short and long term) affect the probability, severity,
and duration of wildfires. Other factors that create concern ar e drought conditions and
development (the build environment). Drought conditions bring on contributing concerns in that
it can lead to relatively drier conditions and leave reservoirs and water tables lower; thus,
creating hotter fires and less water to fight the fires. The expansion of the built environment into
previously unoccupied areas introduces more people to the hazard and in some cases make
response actions more challenging.
• Location and Extent
The climate, topography, and vegetation in Temecula is conducive to annual wildfire events.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program
(CDF-FRAP) was established and mandated to map areas of significant fire hazards based on fuels
(vegetation), terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. These zones, referred to as Fire Hazard
Severity Zones (FHSZ), define the application of various mitigation strategies to reduce risk
associated with wildland fires. CDF-FRAP developed data that displays the relative risk to areas
of significant population density from wildfire. This data is created by intersecting residential
housing unit density with proximate fire threat, to give a relative measure of potential loss of
structures and threats to public safety from wildfire. The map below (shown on next page)
depicts the “very high” Fire Hazard Severity Zone(s) located in Temecula for state and local
responsibility areas (Figure 5.10).
Page|77
Figure 5.10 – Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Response Area (LRA)
Due to a combination of topography, weather, and fuel, and exacerbated by potentially high
winds and limited access, the western portion of the City of Temecula is highly susceptible to
wildland fire hazards. The slopes of the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve, the hills between
Rancho California Road and Temecula Parkway are not only difficult for firefighters and their
equipment to reach, but the hill’s steepness and configuration can result in the rapid upslope
spread of fire.
Limited rainfall, low humidity, and seasonal high temperatures continue to contribute to the
desiccation of the grasses and chaparral which cover the foothills, providing prime fuel for
intense burns. Although some of the canyons are shielded from the direct impact of the powerful ,
dry Santa Ana winds, their occurrence generally aggravates the fire hazard. In addition, the
Page|78
presence of human activities in or near a wildland area dramatically increases the risk of a major
fire due to careless smokers, homeless encampments, illegal campfires, and other related risks.
• History
Historically, fires in the City of Temecula have started in either the creek beds and burn from a
western to easterly direction, driven by prevailing winds and topography or above the city in the
hills of the unincorporated area of DeLuz. Table 5.3 shows the year and acres of reported
wildfires in the City of Temecula since 2000.

• Probability
The majority of work done to estimate the probability of wildfire occurrence has been around
identifying the potential areas for wildfire to occur. As previously mentioned, vegetation,
weather, and topography were the significant elements in identifying areas of potential threat to
wildfire occurrences. The area south and west of the City of Temecula is marked by mountains,
foothills, and canyons that are covered in susceptible vegetation. A large amount of the native
vegetation in the Temecula area is commonly called chaparral, it is a dense and scrubby bush that
has evolved to persist in a fire-prone habitat. Chaparral plants will eventually age and die;
however, they will not be replaced by new growth until a fire rejuvenates the area. Chamise,
manzanita and ceanothus are all examples of chaparral which are quite common in the Temecula
area. The City of Temecula’s climate, with its warm and dry summers, contributes to low relative
humidity and low fuel moistures. When combined with high fuel loading, the potential for a
catastrophic wildfire event is significant. Three (3) weather conditions specific to Temecula that
may cause the ignition and/or impact the behavior of wildfires are as follows:
• Thunderstorms and the associated lightning are a significant source of fire starts,
and usually occurs mid to late summer
• High winds can become steady up to 20 mph and gust up to 30-40 mph
throughout the year but are most likely to exacerbate wildland fires during the
months of August through October when dry vegetation conditions are generally
present
• Hot, dry conditions most commonly occur in August and September
Page|79
This knowledge and understanding are a key driver in the methodology of the CDF-FRAP program.
According to the CDF, the FRAP “very high” Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps are based on data
and models of, potential fuels over a 30- to 50-year time horizon and their associated expected
fire behavior and expected burn probabilities to quantify the likelihood and nature of vegetation
fore exposure to buildings. This indicates a very high likelihood of wildfire occurrence in the area.
As such, Temecula is susceptible to annual wildfire risk. An aspect of wildfires that needs greater
consideration within the City of Temecula is man-made caused wildfires. Over the past few years,
the City has noticed an increase in the number of wildfires started by arsonists, illegal homele ss
encampments, and improper use of fireworks. All of these factors have increased the probability
of wildfires in the City.
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate change plays a significant role in wildfire hazards. The changing conditions from wet to
dry can create more fuel; the increased possibility of high winds increase risk and present a
challenge, and drought conditions could hinder ability to contain fires. Large wildfires also have
several indirect effects beyond those of a smaller, local fire. These may include air quality and
health issues, road closures, business closures, and other forms of losses. Furthermore, large
wildfires increase the threat of other disasters such as landslide and flooding.
5.4.1.7 Flooding
• Ranking: Probability – High; Impact - Medium
• Description
A flood is a temporary condition (short-duration or long-duration) of partial or complete
inundation on land that is normally dry. This condition is generally caused by precipitation (i.e.,
rainfall). Several factors determine the severity of floods, including rainfall intensity and duration,
antecedent moisture conditions, surface permeability, and geographic characteristics of the
watershed such as shape and slope. Other causes of flooding can include a ruptured dam or levee,
rapid ice or snow melting in the mountains, under-engineered infrastructure, or even a poorly
placed beaver dam can overwhelm a river or channel and send water spreading over adjacent
land or floodplains. According to FEMA, there are sev eral different types of floods and under
some there are subtypes. The flooding types and subtypes include:
• Riverine Flooding- River/Stream Overbank Flooding, Flash Floods, Dam and Levee Failure,
Alluvia Fans, Ice Jam Flooding, Moveable Bed Streams
• Urban Drainage- Drainage system capacity deficiencies
• Ground Failures- Mud flood and Mud flows, Subsidence, Liquefaction
• Fluctuating Lake Levels- Increase volume caused by rain, snowmelt, and other runoffs
• Coastal Flooding and Erosion- Storm Surge
Page|80
In California, some of the more common types of flooding fall under Riverine Flooding (i.e., flash
flooding), Urban Flooding, and Coastal Flooding (i.e., storm surge). Floods can take several hours
to days to develop. A flash flood is a flood occurring in a watershed where the time of travel of
the peak of flow from one end of the watershed to the other is less than six hours. Coastal
flooding occurs when storms produce large ocean waves that sweep across coastlines making
landfall. The following flood characterization designates the amount of time for response:
• Flood Watch- a flood is possible in the area. Advanced warning
• Flood Warning- flooding is already occurring or will occur soon in the area.
• Flash Flood Watch- a flash flood is possible in the area. Little-to-no advanced warning
• Flash Flood Warning- flooding is already occurring or will occur soon in the area. Little-
to-no advanced warning
• Location and Extent
The geographical location, climate, and topography of the City of Temecula make the city prone
to flooding. In Temecula, floods usually occur during the winter “wet” season, the time of year
with the highest precipitation totals or heavy rainfalls. During significant rainfall years, the season
is characterized by high intensity rainfalls and rapid runoffs or discharge. These storm events
have inundated streams; flooded areas; created debris flows (i.e., sediment, rock, dead trees)
that have plugged culverts and damaged bridges/overpasses; and/or, eroded or scared the
landscape. The common types of flooding in the City of Temecula are:
• Flash Flood- A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas, rivers and streams
that is caused by the intense rainfall associated with a thunderstorm, or multiple
thunderstorms. Flash floods also occur when a man-made structure, such as a
dam, collapses. Flash flooding occurs when the ground under a storm becomes
saturated with water so quickly that it cannot be absorbed. The runoff collects in
low-lying areas and flows rapidly downhill. As a result, anything in its path is
suddenly in rising water. A typical flash flood begins with a slow -moving
thunderstorm. This usually takes longer to move out of the affected areas and
causes the area to endure a greater amount of rainfall for a longer period of time.
In addition, a thunderstorm may pass over an affected area repeatedly, dumping
even more rainfall. A large amount of rainfall in a short time can result in flash
flood conditions, as can a dam failure or other sudden spill. The National Weather
Service’s definition of a flash flood is a flood occurring in a watershed where the
time of travel of the peak of flow from one end of the watershed to the other is
less than six hours.
• Urban Drainage- The heavy rainfall associated with these storm systems
contributes to urban flooding in a number of ways. Primarily, heavy rainfall will
often overwhelm the capacity of the conventional drainage system made up of
storm drains, catch basins, sewers, and additional natural mechanisms for storm-
Page|81
water management. These systems typically cannot handle more than one or two
inches of rainfall per hour before they begin to backup and overflow. This amount
is further diminished if the storm drains, and other components of the storm-
water management system, have not been adequately maintained, are clogged
with debris such as trash or natural waste, or are old and in a state of disrepair.
Heavy rainfall, combined with storm-water runoff, can cause local waterways to
rise and overflow their banks.
• History
The City of Temecula has had a long history with heavy rains. The possibility of flood for the city
stems from its location between two major drainage channels: the Murrieta Creek to the north
and west of the city and the Temecula Creek on the south end. Both channels come together to
form the Santa Margarita River in the southwest corner of the city. The last major flood
experienced from these two creeks was in 1993. The city has taken steps to control flooding
through vegetation reduction, creek maintenance, and bridge upkeep.
While not always a significant event, floods inundate portions of the City of Temecula almost
every year. These smaller flood events create issues for local residents and business with
everything from traffic congestion to localized water damage. Most of the smaller flood events
do not rise to the level of significance (i.e., requiring local, county, state, or federal declarations)
and do not require activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The City has not
experienced a significant flood event since 2019. The significant flood events have been known
to create considerable impacts. During some significant flood events the flood waters from the
Temecula/Murrieta Creek were responsible for extensive damage to Old Town Temecula, ranging
from severe ponding to high flood waters, to extensive, permanent damages from uncontrollable
runoff. The following information provides a summary of the available historic significant flooding
events in the City of Temecula:
• FEMA 4431-DR-CA: (February 2019) The City of Temecula sustained more than
$130,000 in damages and costs associated with emergency repair and debris
removal. The amounts included salaries, benefits, overtime and other professional
and contractual services for repairs and maintenance supplies.
The southern portion of the city along highway 79 south (Temecula Parkway) is subject to a 100 -
year flood, meaning that a flood of that intensity might occur once in one hundred years (1%
chance of occurring in any given year). Considering these features and other factors, FEMA has
developed Flood Hazard Maps. The most common flood hazard map is the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year flood zone map (Figure 5.11). The 100-year flood zone
map (utilizing FEMA flood hazard zones) depicts areas within the City of Temecula that may be
prone to flooding. Definitions of FEMA’s flood zone designations are provided in Table 5.4.
Page|82
Figure 5.11 – Temecula 100 Year Flood Map
Page|83
Table 5.4 – FEMA Flood Zone Designations
• Probability
Flooding tends to occur in the summer and early fall because of the monsoon and is typified by
increased humidity and high summer temperatures. The standard measure for flooding is the
"100-year flood", a benchmark used by the FEMA to establish a standard of flood control in
communities throughout the country. The 100-year flood is also referred to as the "regulatory"
or "base" flood. The term 100-year flood is often incorrectly used and can be misleading. The
correct designation is “the 1% annual chance flood”, meaning there is a 1% chance that a flood
of that intensity and elevation will occur in any given year, not that the flood will occur once
every hundred years.
The 100-year Flood map of the City of Temecula is shown in Figure 5.11 above. As defined by
FEMA, Zone A, AE, AE Floodway, AH, and AO (lighter shades of blue) indicate a 1% annual chance
of flooding, while Zone Shaded X (dark blue) indicates a 0.2% of annual chance of flooding.
Page|84
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate change acts as an amplifier to flood hazards. Extreme weather events have become more
frequent over the past 40 to 50 years and this trend is projected to continue. Rising sea levels
and shifting weather patterns (temperate, winds) are expected to have a significant impa ct on
rainfall frequency, intensity, and distribution, which in turn will have a significant impact on the
frequency of flood occurrences. Additionally, warmer weather patterns increase snowmelt,
which in turn produces more runoff to the lower elevations.
5.4.1.8 Hazardous Materials Incident
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - High
• Description
Hazardous materials are any substance or combination of substances that may pose a risk to
human health and safety or the environment. Hazardous materials include toxic, corrosive,
infectious, flammable, explosive and radioactive substances. Federal, state , and local
governments have enacted a variety of laws and established programs to deal with the transport,
use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials to reduce the risks to the public health and
environment.
Hazardous materials incidents can happen anywhere and at any time, however, there are certain
areas within the city that are at a higher risk than others. Roadways and railways that are used
to transport hazardous materials have increasing potential as well as industrial facilities that use,
store, and dispose of such materials. Releases of explosive, caustic, and flammable materials can
cause many injuries and deaths as well as large-scale evacuations to sheltering-in-place.
Hazardous materials are used and/or created in manufacturing, agriculture, service industries
(e.g., gas stations, dry cleaners), and health care facilities. Several household products such as
cleaning supplies and paint are also considered hazardous materials. These chemicals and
hazardous materials may be corrosive or otherwise damaging over time. The US Department of
Transportation (US DOT) classifies hazard chemicals/materials into the following classification
system:
✓ Class 1- Explosives
✓ Class 2- Flammable, non-flammable, and poisonous gases
✓ Class 3- Flammable liquids
✓ Class 4- Flammable, spontaneously combustible, and dangerous when wet solids
✓ Class 5- Oxidizers and organic peroxides
✓ Class 6- Toxic (poisonous) substances
✓ Class 7- Radioactive materials
✓ Class 8- Corrosive substances
✓ Class 9- Miscellaneous dangerous goods/hazardous materials and articles
Page|85
The release of these chemicals and/or materials into a community can have devastating effects.
A hazardous materials release could also result in public health risks, fires, and/or explosions.
Contamination may be carried out of the immediate area of the incident by people, vehicles,
wind, and water. Weather conditions can increase the size and intensity of the Hazardous
Materials Release. Typography, such as hills and canyons, can increase the size of the release or
make it more difficult to contain. There are several types of hazardous materials releases:
✓ Fixed-Site Releases- releases involving the production and manufacturing, handling,
and storage of a hazardous product at a single facility as well as any releases that
may occur at a designated hazardous waste disposal site.
✓ Transportation-Related Releases- Includes releases that occur while the hazardous
material is in transit from one facility to another or en route to be disposed of at a
designated hazardous waste disposal site (e.g., on highways, railways, airports, or in
pipelines).
✓ Intentional Releases- includes criminal acts and acts of terrorism in which a
hazardous material is used to intentionally cause injuries and/or fatalities, damage
the environment and/or property, or advance a political or social agenda.
• Location and Extent
As outlined above, hazardous materials can be found throughout the community. The location
and identity of facilities that store hazardous materials must be reported to local and federal
governments as required by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
Many facilities have their own hazardous materials guides and response plans, including
transportation companies who transport hazardous materials. The release of hazardous
materials into the environment can cause a multitude of problems. Although these incidents ca n
happen almost anywhere, certain areas of Redlands are at higher risk, such as near roadways
that are frequently used to transport hazardous materials and locations with industrial facilities
that use, store, and/or dispose of such materials. Areas crossed by railways, waterways, airways,
and pipelines also have increased potential for mishaps.
• History
Within the City of Temecula, the CALFire / Riverside County Fire Department has the
responsibility for responding to hazardous materials incidents. The City of Temecula Fire Division
has responded to a series of hazardous material incidents over the years. While most are routine
in nature and do not require significant resources, there have been a handful of incidents that
have required greater response and recovery coordination/effort.
• Probability
The release of chemicals and hazardous materials can occur anywhere in the city but are more
likely on or near major transportation corridors. Incidences can occur during production, storage,
transportation, and/or during use or disposal of materials. Communities can be at risk if a
Page|86
chemical is used unsafely or released in harmful amounts into the environment. Hazardous
materials can cause death, serious injury, long lasting health effects, and dam age to buildings,
the environment, homes, and other property.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there is little evidence to link climate change increase occurrences of chemical and
hazardous material releases, weather plays a significant factor in certain aspects of chemical and
hazardous material releases. Changing conditions can create more mishaps and accidents with
production, storage, transportation, use, and disposal of chemicals and hazardous materials.
Additionally, changing conditions could impact the response and recovery efforts after releases.
5.4.1.9 Pandemic
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - High
• Description
Infectious Disease is a broad term used to describe illness caused by a specific type of bacterium, parasite,
virus, or fungus organisms. Below is a brief overview of the main infectious disease types:
• Bacterial Infections- Responsible for a variety of diseases from strep throat to meningitis and
tuberculosis.
• Fungal Infections- There are roughly 300 types of fungi known to cause infectious disease.
Common types include ringworm, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and pneumocystis
pneumonia.
• Parasitic Infections- Responsible for a variety of diseases including malaria, Chagas disease,
and toxocariasis.
• Viral Infections- Responsible for a variety of diseases including the common cold, influenza,
mononucleosis, smallpox, and HIV/AIDS.
These organisms can be transmitted:
• Person-to-person (e.g., measles, mumps, meningococcal disease, tuberculosis)
• By consuming contaminated food or water, also known as foodborne (e.g.: salmonella,
E.coli, botulinum toxin)
• Through animal bites (i.e., mosquito, ticks, fleas) also known as vector-borne (e.g.:
West Nile virus, dengue, Zika, malaria).
Newly emerging infectious diseases include Ebola, Zika, Severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), avian influenza. The current pandemic (COVID-
19) is linked to the SARS virus. The SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a virus identified in 2003.
SARS-CoV is thought to be an animal virus from an as-yet-uncertain animal reservoir, perhaps
bats, that spread to other animals (civet cats) and first infected humans in the Guangdong
province of southern China in 2002. In 2019, in Wuhan China a new coronavirus was discovered.
The coronavirus is closely related to the SARS coronavirus. The new virus goes by both COVID -
19, standing for coronavirus disease 2019, and SARS CoV-2. Additional detail about the impacts
of the COVID 19 can be found under the History section.
Page|87
Also, of concern are the threats of potential biological terrorism (bioterrorism), the intentional
release or spread of disease (or toxins). Bioterrorism, also known as biological warfare, is not new
and has been used for centuries. As early as 600 BC, military leaders have implemented practices
to poison water supplies and infect citizens/soldiers to gain strategic advantages in their efforts
to conquer territories. Today there have been occurrences are both at the large scale (by military)
and small scale (by terrorist organizations or individuals). No matter the purpose, the release of
organisms could have devastating effects on an international, national, state, or local level if it is
a highly infectious disease.
• Location and Extent
An emergent disease can occur throughout the entire city at any given time during the year.
• History
Infectious diseases have been of concern for many years. It is only recently, because of COVID-
19 that the potential risk has been heightened. As cited by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the 20th century saw three (3) pandemics, the most notable of which was the
1918 Spanish influenza pandemic that was responsible for 20 million deaths throughout the
world. The pandemics are now known to represent three (3) different antigenic subtypes of
influenza A virus: H1N1 (in 1918), H2N2 (Asian Influenza in 1957), and H3N2 (Hong Kong Influenza
in 1968). Not classified as true pandemics are three (3) notable epidemics: a pseudo pandemic
in 1947 with low death rates, an epidemic in 1977 that was a pandemic in children, and an
abortive epidemic of swine influenza in 1976 that was feared to have pandemic potential. Major
influenza epidemics show no predictable periodicity or pattern, and all differ from one another.
Evidence suggests that true pandemics with changes in hemagglutinin subtypes arise fr om
genetic reassortment with animal influenza A viruses.
The world is still dealing with the rolling effects of COVID-19 and identified sub-types. According
to the CDC, COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Although most
people who have COVID-19 have mild symptoms, COVID-19 can also cause severe illness and
even death. Some groups, including older adults and people who have certain underlying medical
conditions, are at increased risk of severe illness. Because it is a new virus, scientists are learning
more and more about it each day. New cases of and death rates from COVID-19 are rising globally
daily but not at the rate it was during 2020 and 2021.
Locally, the City of Temecula was impacted by COVID-19 both from an economic and community-
based standpoint. Other infectious disease events that have impacted the city and operational
area include the 2009 H1N1, 2003 Avian Flu, 2015-17 Zika, 2014-16 West African Ebola, 2015
West Nile, 2013 large scale Tuberculosis, 2004 botulism Type A, 2003 West Nile, and the 2020
Hepatitis A outbreak.

• Probability
There is an annual risk of experiencing an infectious disease outbreak in the City of Temecula.
While there is a continued threat from a novel influenza virus , the potential threat of outbreaks
and epidemics have been increased due expanding global trade and accessible national and
international travel. Infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics occur on an ongoing basis.
Aside from the City of Temecula currently recovering from the effects from COVID-19, annual
outbreaks of the seasonal flu usually occur during the late fall through early spring. Most people
have natural immunity, and a seasonal flu vaccine is generally available. According to the CDC, in
a typical year, approximately 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu and flu -
related deaths range from 3,300 to 48,600 (average 23,600).
Bird flu (H5N1) is an influenza A virus subtype that is highly contagious among birds; although
rare, some human infections with the Bird flu virus have occurred. Most confirmed cases have
occurred in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Europe, and the Near East. According to the CDC, there are
currently no confirmed human cases of Bird flu infections, but it remains a serious concern with
the potential to cause a deadly pandemic.
Swine flu (H1N1) was first detected in the United States in April 2009. This virus was a unique
combination of influenza virus genes never previously identified in either animals or people. The
Swine flu virus caused more illness in young people and pregnant women than is usual for prior
flu seasons and was declared a Worldwide Pandemic by the World Health Organization.
• Climate Change Considerations
While many vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and murine typhus,
are rarely seen in the United States, the United States is susceptible to these vector-borne
diseases. Many vector-borne diseases are climate sensitive and ecological shifts associated with
climate change are expected to impact the distribution and incidences of these diseases. Changes
in temperature and precipitation directly affect vector born disease transmission through
pathogen-host interaction, and indirectly through ecosystem changes and species composition.
As temperatures increases vectors can spread into new areas that were previously too cold. For
example, two (2) mosquito vectors that carry malaria are now found at the U.S.-Mexico border.
5.4.1.10 Transportation Failure
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - High
• Description
Transportation systems in or near Temecula include airways and roadways. These systems
provide services on a regional and local level. A major accident is possible with these two
methods of transportation through the city. Large accidents are investigated by the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is an independent Federal agency charged by
Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant
accidents in the other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline – and
Page|89
issuing safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. The Safety Board
determines the probable cause of:
• All U.S. civil aviation accidents and certain public-use aircraft accidents
• Selected highway accidents
• Railroad accidents involving passenger trains or any train accident that results in at
least one fatality or major property damage
• Major marine accidents and any marine accident involving a public and nonpublic
vessel
• Pipeline accidents involving a fatality or substantial property damage
• Releases of hazardous materials in all forms of transportation
• Selected transportation accidents that involve problems of a recurring nature
Since its inception in 1967, the NTSB has investigated more than 132,000 aviatio n accidents and
thousands of surface transportation accidents.
The trucking industry has consistently increased in size over the last century. Today, there are
more trucks on the road than 20 years ago. “In 2000, one out of every eight fatal car accidents
involved a large truck. This can be attributed not only to the size and weight of these trucks but
also to significant blind spots in the field of view of truck drivers (Trucking Accident Info Center,
2003).” According to the .S. Department of Transport ation National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), on average in the country and as of 2020, large trucks made up 9 percent
of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes. The NHTSA says that large trucks were much more likely
to be involved in a fatal multiple-vehicle crash.
In 2020, The NHTSA reported that there were 4,965 people killed in crashes involving large trucks.
This was a 1 percent decrease from 5,032 in 2019. 71 percent of all people killed in large truck
crashes in 2020 were occupants of other vehicles. 17 percent were occupants of large trucks and
13 percent were non-occupants (pedestrians, cyclists, or other non-occupants). Since 2002,
13,966 fatalities were attributed to large trucks.
Over a 10-year period, there was an unfortunate increase in the total number of people killed in
large truck crashes, from 3,781 fatalities in 2011 to 4,965 fatalities in 2020. Of the fatalities in
2020:
• 71 percent (3,512) were occupants of other vehicles
• 17 percent (831) were occupants of large trucks
• 13 percent (622) were non-occupants (pedestrians, pedal cyclists, etc.)
From 2019 to 2020, there was a 7-percent decrease in the number of occupants of other vehicles
killed in crashes involving large trucks. This is the first decrease in large -truck occupants killed,
and occupants of other vehicles killed since 2013 to 2014. From 2019 to 2020 there was a 9 -
percent increase in the number of non-occupants killed. The 622 killed is large truck crashes in
2020 is the highest number of non-occupants killed in the most recent 10-year period.

Statistics and Analysis.

The concern with an airplane crash in the City of Temecula is the potential for human casualties.
A disabled aircraft striking the ground could result in explosions and fire. Temecula would need
to address the medical needs as well as the mental health nee ds of victims and their families.
• Location and Extent
The City of Temecula is located within Riverside County and is served by one major freeway from
the south, Interstate 15, and splits at the north end of the city into Interstate 15 and Interstate
215. All freeways run north and south through Temecula and serves as a major corridor from San
Diego County to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The closest airfield to Temecula is operated by the
French Valley Airport Economic Development Agency. The French Valley Airport is located in
Southwest Riverside County adjacent to the communities of Temecula, Murrieta, and
Winchester. The airport is located on Highway 79 and is only minutes away from Interstates 15
and 215 which is Northeast of Temecula. The flight operations present a potential risk for air
crashes. The greatest risk is immediately under the takeoff and landing zone located at the south
end of the airfield which is adjacent to the Somers Bend development.
Page|91
• History
In June of 2018, a major crash involving a large truck,
resulted in a 10-hour closure creating chaos on the
freeway with traffic backing up for miles. The driver
attempted to bring his truck to a stop when vehicles in
front of him collided, but he could not and clipped the
car causing his truck to veer across all lanes of traffic
and drove through a guardrail and partially plunged
down an embankment at the Temecula Creek.
Fortunately, there were no deaths as a result of the
crash. (Temecula Patch, 2022)
In November of 2021, a small privately owned aircraft
enroute to the French Valley Airport crashed in a field
just yards from a major housing development
resulting in the death of the pilot. There was no
damage to property beside the plan itself (Press
Enterprise, 2022).
• Probability
The possibility of an aircraft accident/incident occurring or major transportation
accident/incident on the freeway in the City of Temecula will continue to exist due to the location
(and existing use) of the French Valley Airport and the I-15 Freeway. Based on historic events and
known increases in safety standards, it is anticipated that future accidents/incidents will be
minimal. The risk to the City of Temecula associated with these types of accidents/incidents is
similar to other general aviation airports in Southern California as well as freeways across the
nation. The issue is the fact that the current state of frontage roads and other routes of
transportation from San Diego County into Riverside County increase the probability and
dangers.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there are many devices that monitor and/or track weather conditions, it is expected that
changing conditions are going to impact air travel but not affect ground transportation as heavily.
From the simplest of impacts from temperatures altering takeoffs and landing, to increase in
rains and winds altering flight patterns, changes in our environment could increase the likelihood
of an aircraft accidents/incidents.

5.4.2 Other Hazards of Significance
For the purposes of this LHMP, the following hazards are detailed as they are significant to the
City of Temecula and pertinent to the local area.
5.4.2.1 Tornado (Windstorm)
• Ranking: Probability – Low; Impact - High
• Description
Winds are often referred to according to their strength, and the direction from which they are
blowing. Wind is caused by the difference in pressure from one point on the earth's surface to
another. ind is created by air moving from the area of “higher” pressure to the area of “lower”
pressure; the difference in pressure over a certain distance, determines the strength of the wind.
Air does not move directly from the point of highest pressure to the point of lowest pressure.
The earth's rotation affects the air flow by deflecting it to the right. This effect is called the Coriolis
Effect. In the Northern Hemisphere, this causes air to flow clockwise around high -pressure areas
and counterclockwise around low-pressure areas.
Winds are categorized by types and each type is associated with wind speeds: breeze (<0-31
mph), gale (32-65 mph), storm (66-72 mph), and hurricane (73-139> mph). Within each category
are sub classifications with differential names depending on geographic location (i.e., tropical
depression, tropical storm/cyclone) and/or categories (i.e., category 3 hurricane). Damage from
winds account for half of all severe reports in the lower 48 states and is more common than
damage from tornadoes. Winds are also measured using the Beaufort Scale. The Beaufort Sc ale
categories winds by wind speed, using Force categories between 0-12 to measure speed and
summarize descriptions (Table 5.5).

For the purposes of the LHMP, windstorms include both 1) cyclonic winds and 2) significant
straight-line, with little-to-no precipitation.
Cyclonic winds are the wind which swirl counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere or
clockwise in the southern hemisphere. The biggest differences between hurricanes and
tornadoes are how big they are and how long they last. Hurricanes are typically hundreds of miles
in diameter, with high winds and heavy rains over the entire region. Hurricanes can last for days
or even weeks. Tornadoes usually last no more than a few minutes.
• Hurricane- A rotating low-pressure weather system (storm) that has organized
thunderstorms but no fronts (a boundary separating two air masses of different
densities. Hurricanes originate in the Atlantic basin, which includes the Atlantic
Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, the eastern North Pacific Ocean, and, less
frequently, the central North Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes develop in stages, working
their way up to hurricane status:
✓ Tropical Wave- A low-pressure trough moving generally westward with the trade
winds.
✓ Tropical Disturbance- An organized area of thunderstorms that usually forms in
the tropics. Typically, they maintain their identity for 24 hours and are
accompanied by heavy rains and gusty winds.
✓ Tropical Cyclone- A generic term for any organized low pressure that develops
over tropical and sometimes sub-tropical waters. Tropical depressions, tropical
storms, and hurricanes are all example of tropical cyclones.
Page|94
✓ Tropical Depression- An organized area of low pressure in which sustained winds
are 38 mph or less.
✓ Tropical Storm- A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speeds that
range from 39 to 73 mph.
✓ Hurricane- A tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
After the storm reaches Hurricane status, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is used to
categorizes hurricanes by sustained wind speeds (Table 5.6).

Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to
roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches
of trees will snap, and shallowly rooted trees may be

likely will result in power outages that could last a
few to several days.
2 96 - 110 Moderate
Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major
roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees

outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of
the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
5 > 156 Catastrophic
A high percentage of framed homes will be
destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse.
Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential
areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly
months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for
weeks or months.
Page|95
✓ Tornado- A tornado is a rapidly (violent) rotating column of air that is in contact with
both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of
a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes and are often visible in
the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud,
with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it. Most tornadoes have wind speeds
less than 110 miles per hour, are about 250 feet across, and travel a few miles before
dissipating. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with
wind speeds of up to 300 mph. They can destroy large buildings, uproot trees, and
throw vehicles hundreds of yards. They can also drive straw into trees. Damage paths
can be in excess of one mile wide to 50 miles long.
Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. They need warm, moist air from the Gulf
of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet, they
create instability in the atmosphere. A change in wind direction and an increase in
wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in
the lower atmosphere. Rising air within the updraft tilts the rotating air from
horizontal to vertical. An area of rotation, 2-6 miles wide, now extends through much
of the storm. Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong
rotation. Tornadoes are measured by the Fujita Tornado Scale (Table 5.7) which
classifies tornadoes by intensity categories, based on the maximum winds occurring
within the funnel.
Table 5.7 - Fujita Tornado Scale
Page|96
Straight-line winds are common with the gust front of a thunderstorm or originate with a
downburst from a thunderstorm. The winds can gust to 130 mph and winds of 58 mph or more
and can last for more than twenty minutes. Straight-line wind events are most common during
the spring when instability is highest and weather fronts routinely cross the country. These
storms have wind speeds capable of reaching up to 100 mph, capable of producing a path of
damage extending for hundreds of miles. Terms and characteristics of damaging straight -line
wind events include:
✓ Derecho- Derechos, Spanish for “straight”, are a widespread, long -lived, straight-line
windstorm event that is associated with a land -based, fast-moving group of severe
thunderstorms. Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains,
and flash floods. A warm-weather phenomenon, derechos occur mostly in summer,
especially during June, July, and August.
✓ Updrafts/Downdraft- Localized regions of warm or cool air will exhibit vertical
movement (updrafts downdrafts). pdrafts are small‐scale current of rising air, often
within a cloud. A mass of warm air will typically be less dense than the surrounding
region, and so will rise until it reaches air that is either warmer or less dense than
itself. The converse will occur for a mass of cool air and is known as subsidence. This
movement of large volumes of air, especially when regions of hot, wet air rise, can
create large clouds, and is the central source of thunderstorms. Drafts can also be
conceived by low or high-pressure regions. A low-pressure region will attract air from
the surrounding area, which will move towards the center and then rise, creating an
updraft. A high-pressure region will then attract air from the surrounding area, which
will move towards the center and sink, spawning a downdraft.
✓ Downburst- Strong, downdraft winds flowing out of a thunderstorm cell. A
downburst is a straight- direction surface wind in excess of 39 miles per hour caused
by a small-scale, strong downdraft from the base of convective thundershowers and
thunderstorms. Downbursts of all sizes descend from the upper regions of severe
thunderstorms when the air accelerates downward through either exceptionally
strong evaporative cooling or by very heavy rain, which drags dry air down with it.
When the rapidly descending air strikes the ground, it spreads outward in all
directions, like a fast-running faucet stream hitting the bottom of the sink.
There are two (2) sub-categories of downbursts: the larger macrobursts and small
microbursts.
Page|97
Macroburst - Macrobursts are downbursts with winds up to 117 miles per hour which
spread across a path greater than 2.5 miles wide at the surface and which last from 5
to 30 minutes.
Microburst- Microbursts are strong, damaging winds which strike the ground and
often give the impression a tornado has struck. They frequently occur during intense
thunderstorms. The origin of a microburst is downward moving air from a
thunderstorm’s core. But unlike a tornado, they affect only a rather small area, less
than 2.5 miles in diameter from the initial point of downdraft impact. An intense
microburst can result in damaging winds near 170 miles per hour and often lasts for
less than five minutes. There are two (2) types of microburst windstorms: dry and wet.
✓ Gust Front- A gust front is the leading edge of rain-cooled air that clashes with warmer
thunderstorm inflow. Gust fronts are characterized by a wind shift, temperature drop,
and gusty winds out ahead of a thunderstorm. Sometimes the winds push up air above
them, forming a shelf cloud or detached roll cloud.
✓ Haboob- Haboobs, Arabic for blasting/drifting, is a type of intense dust storm carried
on an atmospheric gravity current (i.e., thunderstorm), also known as a weather front.
When a thunderstorm collapses, and begins to release precipitation, wind directions
reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the
direction of the storm's travel. Haboobs occur regularly in arid regions throughout the
world.
In Southern California, Santa Ana winds are considered a windstorm event. Santa Ana winds are
katabatic winds- Greek for “flowing downhill”. These winds occur below the passes and canyons
of the coastal ranges of Southern California and in the Los Angeles basin. Santa Ana winds often
blow with exceptional speed in the Santa Ana Canyon (the canyon from which it derives its name).
Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry (low humidity) down-slope winds that originate from
cool, dry high pressure air masses in the Great Basin region (the high plateau east of the Sierra
Mountains and west of the Rocky Mountains, including most of Nevada and Utah) and affect
Southern California. These winds come up, over, and are pulled southward down the eastern side
of the Sierra Nevada’s and into the Southern California region. The air warms as it descends
toward the California coast at the rate of 5 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet due to
compressional heating. Thus, compressional heating provides the primary source of warming.
The air is dry since it originated in the desert, and it dries out even more as it is heated.
Page|98
Forecasters at the National Weather Service offices in Oxnard and San Diego usually place speed
minimums on these winds and reserve the use of “Santa Ana” for winds greater than 25 knots.
These winds accelerate to speeds of 35 knots as they move through canyons and passes, with
gusts to 50 or even 60 knots. Santa Ana winds can happen anytime during the year but are most
prevalent in the autumn and winter months. The most significant hazard associated with Santa
Ana winds is an increased wildfire danger, but Santa Ana winds can also cause downed trees and
power lines, and property damage, as well as causing potentially hazardous conditions for R ’s,
semi-trailers, aircraft, and boaters.
• Location and Extent
Although tornadoes and hurricanes are rare, the entire City of Temecula is susceptible to various
types of windstorms
• History
As mentioned, tornadoes and hurricanes are rare in the area, but the City of Temecula has
experienced significant straight-line winds events as well as one tornado. In February of 2005, an
F1 tornado brought between 70 and 100 mile per hour winds to the area along with pouring rain
and some hail according to residents and news coverage. The event lasted approximately five (5)
minutes with the majority of the damage isolated to a single square mile area.
Over the past five (5) years, the City has noticed an increase in local straight -line wind events.
Many of the straight-line wind events do not rise to the level of significance or require the
activation of the City’s EOC but they do leave behind a trail of damage. The straight-line wind
events range in strength of wind and duration but they all have similar impacts, downed trees
and powerlines, injuries, and minor structural damage. These straight-line wind events create
issues for local resident and business, including prope rty damage and traffic congestion.
• Probability
The City of Temecula is at risk of windstorms at any given time during the calendar year. However,
as previously mentioned, they are more prevalent in the autumn and winter months. Santa Ana
winds, which commonly occur between October and February, and can reach speeds of mor e
than 100 miles per hour. Tornadoes and/or Hurricanes occur infrequently in California, which has
a statewide average of just 5 tornadoes/hurricanes a year. This is significantly less than states
located in the S’ “tornado alley”, which can experience as many as 50–100 tornadoes per year
or along the southern Atlantic US/Gulf of Mexico region which can experience twelve (12) named
storms, six (6) hurricanes, and three (3) major hurricanes each year. In addition, most California
tornadoes and hurricanes are considered “weak”; the historical average occurrence rate of
Strong – Violent events in California is zero.
Page|99
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate change will play a significant role with windstorm events. The changing conditions are
expected to cause a significant amplification to many existing conditions. Because of this, climate
change might impact the frequency and intensity of windstorms. Climate change, although still
being studied, could have an effect on high - and low-pressure zones. High- and low-pressure
zones are created by many factors, but many are related to uneven heating of the earth’s surface
by the sun. Many of the factors that go into the heating of the earth’s surface, but many may be
impacted by Climate change (i.e., type of vegetation in areas impact ability to absorb heat,
amount of snow cover which reflects heat). In addition to altering and possibly increasing
frequency of significant winds in the area. This indicates that the City of Temecula could
experience a greater number of windstorm events in the future.
5.4.2.2 Dam Failure
• Ranking: Probability – Low; Impact - High
• Description
Dam failure is the collapse or failure that causes significant downstream flooding. Dam failure
may be caused by a severe storm, earthquakes, erosion or piping or foundation, loss of structural
integrity, or landslides flowing into the dam. The main consequences of dam failure are inju ry,
loss of life, and significant downstream property damage. Evacuations and extensive rescue
efforts would be necessary to save the lives of those in or around the downstream areas. A major
dam failure would require mutual aid from other local, state, an d federal governments and
agencies.
• Location and Extent
Dam inundation is a potential flood hazard in several portions of the Temecula Valley. There are
four specific locations of concern in Temecula, and they are:
• Vail Lake Dam – Failure at this dam could result in extensive and catastrophic flooding
along the downstream watercourse. Dam failure is limited to times during and
immediately following major storms, however, seismic activity on any of the local fault
lines have the potential to cause the dam to fail. The Vail Lake Dam, built in 1949, is a
water storage reservoir that is located east of Temecula on the Temecula Creek. The
reservoir has a storage capacity of approximately 45,000 acre-feet (AF); however, due
to the long-term drought effects, there is approximately 15,000 AF currently stored at
the lake. The reservoir itself covers and estimated 1,078 acres and if in failure, the
water contained within will cover a drainage area of approximately 306 square miles.
Its crest elevation is 1,482.60 feet with a crest length of 788 feet and width of 4 feet.
• In 2013, the dam was found to be seismically insufficient and vulnerable to failure.
The Vail Dam Seismic and Hydrologic Remediation Project will construct a new
straight-axis concrete dam located downstream of the existing arch dam. The current
Page|100
spillway is insufficient to pass the probable maximum flood without overtopping the
dam, and the existing concrete arch dam would not resist the stresses induced by the
maximum credible earthquake. The project purpose is to replace aging infrastructure,
provide flood control from a major earthquake, and provide a locally water supply.
Figure 5.13 - Vail Dam Flood Inundation Map
Page|101
• Skinner Lake Dam – The Skinner Reservoir, also known as Lake Skinner, is a reservoir
that is situated approximately 10 miles northeast of Temecula. Originally constructed
in 1973 and expanded in 1991, the lake has a current capacity of 43,800 acre-feet of
water (14,274,420,000 gallons). The reservoir surface area is 860 acres with a drainage
capability of 51 square miles. The crest elevation is 1,493 feet with a width of 30 feet.
The dam’s height sits at 109 feet.
• A large seismic event occurring on one of the two fault lines located in southwest
Riverside County is capable of causing the dam infrastructure to fail thus creating
catastrophic flooding downstream from the dam. While flooding from a failure of this
dam in comparison to the Vail dam is minimal, there will still be a significant enough
of an impact to place the community at risk down the Highway 79 corridor leading to
the Temecula/Murrieta Creek as it descends into Old Town and out to the Pacific
Ocean.
Figure 5.14 - Skinner Dam Inundation Map
Page|102
• Diamond Valley Lake - The Diamond Valley Lake is a man-made off-stream reservoir
that is located near Hemet, California. Diamond Valley Lake (DVL) is one of the largest
reservoirs in Southern California with a capacity of 800,000 -acre feet of water. With
this capacity, the lake nearly doubled the area’s surface water storage capacity and
provides additional water supplies for drought, peak summer, and emergency needs.
DVL features three earth fill dams, two located on either side of the valley and one
along the north rim.
• While this lake and its dams are 24 miles away from Temecula, the hazard it poses to
the Temecula Valley during a catastrophic seismic event is worth noting. The design
and construction of the dams took into consideration the threat of earthquakes with
the San Jacinto Fault Zone, located approximately 4 miles from the reservoir, and the
San Andreas Fault located about 19 miles from the reservoir.
• Diamond Valley Lake (Saddle Dam) - The saddle
dam rises 130 feet above the lowest point in the
Domenigoni Mountains ridgeline of the north rim
and is around ½ mile long. The dam was built to
increase the storage capacity of the lake, which
would have been limited dur to the low ridge in this
area.
• Diamond Valley Lake (West Dam) - The west dam
rises to 285 feet above the valley floor. It spans 1.5
miles in length and its foundation was extended 90
feet below the original ground surface to remove
liquefaction soils that would have made th e dam
unstable in an earthquake.
Page|103
As depicted in the map to the right, the
Inundation from the Saddle and West side
dams will result in heavy flooding across the
region. Flooding from a catastrophic failure will
impact the City of Temecula primarily along the
79N (Winchester Road) through French Valley
and the Warm Springs Creek before ending at
the Murrieta Creek and dumping into the
Uptown District of Temecula, Old Town, and
across the I-15 freeway impacting the
Promenade Mall and businesses along Ynez
Road. The sunny day failure scenario places
Temecula at approximately 3 hours from
failure to the receipt of water in our area.
Figure 5.15 - Diamond Valley Lake Dam Inundation Map(s)
Page|104
• History
No significant historical incidents to report to date.
• Probability
There are no studies that predict the probability of dam structural failure. However, there has
been a study done that correlates earthquake activity to potential.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there is no direct linkage between climate change and dam rupture, there could be indirect
linkages. As climate change impacts are either felt or perceived to be felt it could directly impact
the dam and its ability to hold back large quantitie s of water from winter storms and runoff.
5.4.2.3 Terrorism
• Ranking: Probability – Low; Impact - High
• Description
Terrorism, as defined by the FBI is "the unlawful use of force against persons or property to
intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in the
furtherance of political or social objectives". The act of terrorism could involve biological agents,
nuclear technology, incendiary devices, chemicals, or explosives.
The public does not perceive that terrorism is thriving in the United States because few incidents
have been spectacular, a high violence rate makes terrorist actions routine, and terrorist actions
are typically against property (bombings) rather than people. U.S. terrorist incidents have
included the joint effort of the Black Liberation Army and the Weather Underground to rob an
armored car in Nyack, N.Y., on October 20, 1981; the 1983 bombing in the Capitol building; and
bombings of abortion centers.
A likely target category of future terrorist attacks is the nuclear power plant, given the number
of demonstrations against them. Transnational terrorists funded by foreign governments could
easily enter the United States and mount attacks. There are 6,000 miles of border that can be
easily crossed and many ethnic populations which enable foreign terrorists to move about
without suspicion.
In 2018, most ideologically motivated murders in the United States were linked to right -wing
extremism. As of 2020, right-wing terrorism accounted for the majority of terrorist attacks and
plots in the U.S. and has killed more people in the continental U.S. since the September 11 attacks
than Islamic terrorism (Antidefamation League, 2022). The Department of Homeland Security
reported in October of 2020 that white supremacists posed the top domestic terrorism threat
(Washington Post, 2021).
Page|105
• Location and Extent
Terrorism can occur throughout the entire city but due to terrorisms’ intended purpose to cause
the greatest amount of destruction it would most likely happen in more populous areas (high
value, visually recognized targets) where more devastation, fear, and chaos will ensue.
• History
There are no significant historical events that have occurred to date.
• Probability
All City businesses and facilities are perceived as a soft target; however, due to the intended
purpose of terrorism, it would most likely happen in more populous urban areas where more
devastation (and fear) will ensue.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there is little evidence to link climate change increasing occurrences of terrorism. However,
depending on the type of attack, it could intensify the incident (i.e., Improvised Explosive Device -
IED during high wind event), and hinder the response and recovery efforts (i.e., evacuation during
flooding).
5.4.2.4 Insect Infestation
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - Low
• Description
Agricultural pests and disease infestation occur when an undesirable organism inhabits an area
in a manner that causes serious harm to agriculture crops, livestock or poultry, and wild land
vegetation or animals. Countless insects and diseases live on, in, and around plants and animals
in all environments. Most are harmless, while some can cause significant damage and loss. Under
some conditions, insects and diseases that have been relatively harmless can become hazardous.
For example, severe drought conditions can weaken trees and make them more susceptible to
destruction from insect attacks than they would be under normal conditions.
• Location and Extent
The City of Temecula has several agriculture crops (grapes) that are on the edges of the eastern
end of the city and limited commercial livestock, predominantly horses. However, the City of
Temecula, much like most cities have areas and vegetation susceptible to infestations. Impacts
to local plants happen throughout the entire city. Impacts on wildland vegetation or animals
generally happen in interface areas along edges of the community.
• History
Page|106
As mentioned, the city is vulnerable to insect infestation. Infestations of the Mediterranean
Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly, Gypsy Moth, Glassy-winged Sharpshooter, Asian Citrus Psyllid, and
Light-Brown Apple Moth have all occurred in the last 30 years; however, there are no detailed
records to list each event. Diseases such as Chrysanthemum hite Rust and Pierce’s Disease of
Grapes have caused significant losses to local plants and impacts on wildland vegetation or
animals.
Emergencies related to insect infestation have impacted Riverside County and its local
jurisdictions in the last decade, including an increased fire risk due to Bark Beetle infestation of
trees in 2003, and mosquito-borne West Nile Virus in 2007. Since 2002, the Bark Beetle
infestation has required removal of thousands of acres of affected trees in the Angeles National
Forest, as well as on private lands. However, both the Bark Beetle and West Nile Virus infestations
are under control and did not seriously impact the City of Temecula. Additionally, while future
infestation issues are possible, the impact on the City of Temecula is generally expected to be
limited and no major impact to the community.
• Probability
Due to its interaction with the global economy, its mild Mediterranean and temperate climate,
its diversified agricultural and native landscape, the City of Temecula can experience impacts
from agricultural pests and diseases annually.
• Climate Change Considerations
Continued climate change is likely to alter the abundance and types of pests, lengthen pests’
breeding season, and increase pathogen growth rates. For example, the pink bollworm, a
common pest of cotton crops, is currently a problem only in southern desert valleys because it
cannot survive winter frosts elsewhere in the state. Howev er, if winter temperatures rise 3 to
4.5°F, the pink bollworm’s range would likely expand northward, which could lead to substantial
economic and ecological consequences for the state.
Temperature is not the only climatic influence on pests. For example, some insects are unable to
cope in extreme drought, while others cannot survive in extremely wet conditions. Furthermore,
while warming speeds up the lifecycles of many insects, suggesting that pest problems could
increase, some insects may grow more slowly as elevated carbon dioxide levels decrease the
protein content of the leaves on which they feed (California Climate Change Center 2006).
5.4.2.5 Landslide
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - Low
• Description
Landslides can be defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down an incline.
According to the SGS, the term “landslide” encompasses five (5) modes of slope movement:
falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows.
Page|107
✓ Falls are masses of soil or rock that dislodge from steep slopes and free-fall, bounce,
or roll downslope.
✓ Topples move by the forward pivoting of a mass around an axis below the displaced
mass.
✓ Spreads (lateral) commonly induced by liquefaction of material in an earthquake,
move by horizontal extension and shear or tensile fractures.
✓ Slides displace masses of material along one or more discrete planes.
– In “rotational” sliding, the slide plane is curved, and the mass rotates backwards
around an axis parallel to the slope.
– In “translational” sliding, the failure surface is more or less planar and the mass
moves parallel to the ground surface.
✓ Flows mobilize as a deforming, viscous mass without a discrete failure plane.
Landslides can be caused by natural processes or by man-made activities. Landslides occurs when
down-slope forces (gravity) exceed the resistance (strength) of the earth materials. Landslides
can be initiated by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground
water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of
these factors. Two (2) of the more common types of landslides include:
✓ Mudflows- defined as flows or rivers of liquid mud down a hillside on the surface of
normally dry land. They occur when water saturates the ground, usually following
long and heavy rain falls, or rapid snow melt. Mud forms and flows down slope if
there is no ground cover such as brush or trees to hold the soil in place.
✓ Debris Flow- defined when water begins to wash material from a slope or wh en
water sheets off of a newly burned stretch of land. Chaparral land is especially
susceptible to debris flows after a fire. The flow will pick up speed and debris as it
descends the slope. As the system gradually picks up speed it takes on the
characteristics of a basic river system, carrying everything in its path along with it.
Fast-moving (or rapidly moving) landslides present the greatest risk to human life, and people
living in or traveling through areas prone to rapidly moving landslides are at increased risk of
serious injury. Debris- flows can travel down a hillside with speeds up to 200 miles per hour
(though more commonly, 30-50 miles per hour), depending on the slope angle and type of earth
and debris in the flow.
Slow-moving landslides can occur on relatively gentle slopes and can cause significant property
damage but are less likely to result in serious human injuries. Slow-moving slides include
rotational slides, where sliding material moves along a curved surface, and translational slides,
where movement occurs along a flat surface. These slides are generally slow-moving and can be
deep. Slumps are small rotational slides that are generally shallow.
The size of a landslide usually depends on the geology and the initial cause of the landslide.
Landslides vary greatly in their volume of rock and soil; the length, width, and depth of the area
Page|108
affected; frequency of occurrence; and speed of movement. Some characteristics that
determine the type of landslide are slope of the hillside, moisture content, and the nature of
the underlying materials. Landslides are given different names, depending on the type of failure
and their composition and characteristics.
Many landslides are difficult to mitigate, particularly in areas of large historic mov ement with
weak underlying geologic materials. As communities continue to modify the terrain and influence
natural processes, it is important to be aware of the physical properties of the underlying soils as
they, along with climate, create landslide hazards. Proper planning cannot completely eliminate
the threat of landslides to the safety of people, property, and infrastructure; however, without
proper planning, landslide hazards will be even more common and more destructive.
• Location and Extent
The California Geological Survey is in the process of recording and mapping historical and potential
landslides in the state. The location and extent of landslides are extremely difficult to predict and are
usually based on historical event and/or soil type and topography. Landslides have the potential to occur
in areas with one or more of the following conditions:
✓ On or close to steep hills
✓ Steep road-cuts or excavations
✓ Existing landslides or places of known historic landslides (such sites often have tilted
power lines, trees tilted in various directions, cracks in the ground, and irregular-
surfaced ground)
✓ Steep areas where surface runoff is channeled, such as below culverts, V -shaped
valleys, canyon bottoms, and steep stream channels
✓ Fan-shaped areas of sediment and boulder accumulation at the outlets of canyons
✓ Canyon areas below hillside and mountains that have recently (within 1-6 years)
been subjected to a wildland fire.
• History
There have been no known previous occurrences of landslides documented in the City of
Temecula.
• Probability
Landslides are a common hazard in California. Weathering and the decomposition of geologic
materials produce conditions conducive to landslides, and human activity further exacerbates
many landslide problems. It is difficult to estimate the probability of occurrence for landslide as
no landslide susceptibility maps have been prepared for Temecula. However, recently there has
been increased probability for mud flows and debris flows due to wildfire events in the area.
Page|109
• Climate Change Considerations
Climate change can increase the probability, frequency, and/or intensity of landslides. Changes
in precipitation, specifically the increased frequency of intense precipitation, can result in
significant water run-off, which may cause landslides. Additionally, increase in wildfire hazards
will result in loss of hillside vegetation. The loss of hillside vegetation will increase the likelihood
of debris and mudflows. This could result in landslides occurring in areas not previously identified.
5.4.2.6 Nuclear Event
• Ranking: Probability – Medium; Impact - Low
• Description
Radioactive materials are routinely transported in California, whether the materials are for
medical or industrial use. Nuclear incidents can occur wherever radioactive materials are used,
stored, or transported. In addition to nuclear plants, hospitals, universities, research laboratories,
industry, highway transportation, railroads, and shipping yards could be the site of a nuclear
transportation incident. Nuclear incidents might involve a nuclear power generating plant, a
nuclear weapon, nuclear waste, or a ‘dirty bomb’.
Nuclear Power Plants – In California, there are two nuclear power plants: Diablo Canyon, which
is located in San Luis Obispo County and San Onofre, which is located in the northwestern corner
of San Diego County along Interstate 5. For purposes of this plan, San Onofre will be discussed.
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is a
three-unit site, 10 miles south of San Clemente. Unit 1,
which operated for 25 years, was shut down in 1992.
Units 2 and 3 were pressured water reactor designs that
were capable of producing enough power to serve the
needs of the 2.75 million households. Unit 2 was started
in 1983 and Unit 3 was started in 1984. Upgrades had
been made that would increase their life of use to 20
years and was completed in 2010. However, both
reactors were shut down in January of 2012 after premature wear was identified on more than
3 thousand tubes in replacement steam generators that were installed in 2010-2011 (Wikipedia,
2022).
In 2013, Southern California Edison (SCE) announced the permanent retirement of San Onofre
Units 2 and 3. Today, SONGS is in the process of decommissioning which will take up to 20 years
to complete. All spent radioactive fuel would be held on -site indefinitely in dry casks while low-
level radiation would be transported and disposed of in Texas and Utah. The threat of sabotage
or terrorism is real and multiple scenarios have been discussed. However, while the potential and
reality exist, the probability of an attack at this location are low (Th e Orange County Register,
2010).
Page|110
Because of the potential health hazard associated with this type of fuel, power plants are built
with multiple physical barriers to prevent the escape of radioactive material. Still, the possibility
exists for an accidental release of radiation into the atmosphere. People could breathe
contaminated air and radioactive particles could be deposited on the ground, in water, on
property and on agricultural crops. Food and dairy animals could graze on contaminated pasture,
passing on the contamination to consumers through milk and meat.
• Location and Extent
The City of Temecula is located within the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (Figure 5.16) for the
San Onofre Nuclear Generating System (SONGS).
Following an incident at San Onofre Nuclear Generating System (SONGS), the public will be
notified of precautions to take with food and water. Home grown or commercial fruits and
vegetables should be washed, scrubbed, and peeled to avoid contamination. For drinking water,
bottled water or juices should be consumed. Avoid drinking water from the surface of lakes,
streams, and water wells. As of September 2022, there are no known commercial dairy farms
located in Temecula. There are other livestock ranches within our sphere of influence located
within the Temecula Valley Wine Country. In order to avoid contamination, livestock owners will
be notified to take precautions. Lactating cows should be removed f rom pastures and fed
substituted, uncontaminated feed.
Figure 5.16 – San Onofre Nuclear Zone Map
Page|111
• History
There is no record of any nuclear incident that has impacted the City of Temecula. The proximity
of SONGS to the city presents an increased potential for exposure due to prevailing winds.
• Probability
The release of nuclear materials can occur anywhere, however, in Temecula it is unlikely as this
facility resides in another county yet its impacts to the community from a release are certain.
Communities can be at risk if nuclear material is not handled safely or released in harmful
amounts into the environment. Exposure to nuclear material can cause death, serious injury, and
long-lasting health effects.
• Climate Change Considerations
There is no evidence to link climate change occurrences with the rel ease of hazardous nuclear
material. Changing conditions can create more mishaps and accidents with the erosion of the
beaches that the plant sits on and from degradation of materials.
5.4.2.7 Civil Disorder
• Ranking: Probability – Low; Impact - Low
• Description
Civil Disturbance is a term generally used to describe disorderly conduct or a breakdown of
orderly society by a large group of people. Civil Disturbance can range from a form of protest
against major socio-political problems to riots.
• Location and Extent
Civil Disturbance can occur in any part of the City of Temecula. However, it is generally located
within larger, more concentrated, commercial areas along Ynez Road as well as City Hall.
• History
No significant historical incidents to report to date. However, there have been a few small
incidents that have occurred due to recent social and political movements.
• Probability
There are no studies that predict the probability of civil disturbance occurrences.
• Climate Change Considerations
While there is no direct linkage between climate change and civil disturbances, there could be
indirect linkages. As climate change impacts are either felt or perceived to be felt it could ignite
passions within people to demonstrate against possible causes or e nablers.

6.1 Overview
As defined by FEMA, risk is a combination of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure. “It is the impact
that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and structures in a community and refers
to the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an adverse condition that causes injury or
damage.” The risk assessment process identifies and profiles relevant hazards and assesses the
exposure of lives, property, and infrastructure to these hazards. The process allows for a better
understanding of a urisdiction’s potential risk to hazards and provides a framework for
developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events.
6.2 City Disaster Proclamation History
One method to identify hazards based upon past occurrences is to look at what events triggered
federal and/or state disaster declarations within the City (though disaster declarations are
declared on a county basis). Disaster declarations are granted when the severity and magnitude
of the event’s impact surpass the ability of the local government to respond and recover. Disaster
assistance is supplemental and sequential.
When the local government’s capacity has been surpassed, a state disaster declaration may be
issued, following the local agency’s declaration, allowing for the provision of state assistance.
Should the disaster be so severe that both the local and state government’s capacity is exceeded,
a federal disaster declaration may be issued allowing for the provision of federal disaster
assistance. The federal government may issue a disaster declaration through FEMA, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), and/or the Small Business Administration (SBA). FEMA also
issues emergency declarations, which are more limited in scope and without the long-term
federal recovery programs of major disaster declarations. The quantity and types of damage are
the determining factors. This section focuses on state and federal disasters and emergency
declarations.

6.3 Disaster Proclamation Process
When there is a condition of extreme peril or potential peril to the safety of persons and property,
and the condition is beyond the capability of the local jurisdiction to control effectively, the local
governing body (i.e., city council, board of supervisors or a person authorized by ordinance) may
proclaim that a local emergency exists. The local government may request the California Office
of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Director to concur in their proclamation of a local emergency
and to provide assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA).
The City of Temecula has proclaimed four (4) local emergencies since its incorporation in 1989.
Most recently, on March 17, 2020, the City Manager in his capacity as Director of Emergency
Services signed Proclamation No. 20-17 to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The City Council
ratified the City Manager’s Proclamation by adopting Resolution No. 20 -17 on March 24, 2020.
A copy of the resolution must be provided to the Riverside County Operational Area as soon as
possible for transmission of the resolution to Cal OES. When a county proclaims a local
emergency pursuant to Section 8630 of the Government Code, based upon conditions which
include both incorporated and unincorporated territory of the county, it is not necessary for the
cities to also proclaim the existence of a local emergency independently.
If sufficient conditions occur, the State may proclaim a state of emergency to fully commit state
and mutual aid assistance and provide resources to assist local government. Following the
proclamation of a state of emergency, the California OES Director may recommend that the
Governor request a Presidential declaration of a major disaster under the authority of Public Law
93-288. The Governor’s request to the president is submitted through the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
Since 1965, Riverside County has had over 45 Federal Disaster Declarations. The most recent
Federally Declared Disaster was in September of 2022 as a result of the Fairview Fire which
directly impacted the City of Temecula due to the establishment of two mass care and shelte r
sites to service the 22,000 homes that were evacuated into the City.
Page|115
6.4 Vulnerability Assessment
With Temecula’s hazards identified and profiled, the HMPC conducted a vulnerability assessment
to describe the impact that each priority hazard would have on the City. The vulnerability
assessment quantifies, to the extent feasible using best available data, assets at risk to natural
hazards and estimates potential losses.
This vulnerability assessment followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication
Understanding Your Risks—Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses. The vulnerability
assessment first describes the total vulnerability of the City and values at risk and then discusses
vulnerability by hazard.
6.5 Hazard Risk Rating
A risk assessment involves evaluating vulnerable assets, describing potential impacts, and
estimating losses for each hazard. The intention of a risk assessment is to help the community
understand the greatest risks facing the City of Temecula. The risk assessment defines and
quantifies vulnerable populations, building, critical facilities, and other assets at risk from hazards
and is based on the best available data and the significance of the hazard. The risk assessment
further examines the impact of the identified hazards on the City, determines which areas of the
City are most vulnerable to each hazard and estimates potential losses to City facilities for each
hazard.
For the 2022 LHMP the risk for each hazard was rated using the Calculated Priority Ris k Index
(CPRI). The CPRI examines four (4) criteria for each hazard (probability, magnitude/severity,
warning time, and duration) as show below in Table 6.2. For each hazard, an index value is
assigned for each CPRI category from 0 to 4 with “0” being the least hazardous and “4” being the
most hazardous situation. This value is then assigned a weighting factor and the result is a hazard
ranking score as shows in Table 6.3. Table 6.4 is an overall summary of the hazard evaluations
for the City.

The requirements for hazard profiles are stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing
regulations. The hazards that the HMPT selected for this update of the LHMP have been profiled
using federal, state, regional, and local resources that have been mapped, d ocumented, or
reported on hazards. Both natural and man-made hazards are included.
The hazards that exist in the City of Temecula are profiled in Section 5 Hazard Assessment. Each
hazard includes a description of the type, location and extent, and previous history. Maps and
graphs are used throughout this plan to display hazard identific ation data.
Page|118
6.6 f T u ’ Vu
This section of the LHMP meets requirements for hazard profiles and a risk assessment as
provided in the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 44, 201.6(c)(2)(i).
6.6.1 Identification of Critical Facilities and Assets
The location and operations of high-risk facilities such as critical infrastructure and key assets in
or near Temecula are a significant concern with respect to a disaster. The HMPT used FEMA’s
“Public Assistance Guide” (FEMA 322) that defines critical facilities such as shelters, hospitals,
EOCs, data centers, utility plants or highly hazardous materials facilities. They also used the FEMA
Hazard Mitigation Handbook which describes three categories of facilities for analysis to revise
and update the list. Section 3.8 of this plan discusses Temecula’s key assets and critical facilities.
These locations are identified in Appendix 5.
The City’s Fire Marshall maintains and extensive list of childcare facilities, churches, elder care
facilities and facilities containing hazardous materials.
6.6.2 Cultural and Natural Resources Inventory
Historical Resources are those improvements, buildings, structures, signs, features, Historic
Districts, landmarks, trees, or other objects of cultural, architectural, or historical significance to
the City that are at least fifty (50) years old, and which have been determined to be eligible for
historic designation and deemed appropriate by the Temecula History Museum. The Temecula
Museum maintains a current list. There are many current local designated Historic Points of
Interest in Old Town Temecula.
These and other designated points of interest as well as future locally designated historic places
shall be protected and not permitted to be modified, demolished (unless declared a public hazard
by the Development Department i.e., Code Enforcement, Building or Fire), altered, renovated,
remodeled, improved, or expanded unless approved by review. The review of the modification
shall utilize the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Pro perties with
Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.
6.6.3 Risk Assessment and Potential Loss
A risk assessment determines the vulnerability of assets within the City by evaluating the
inventory of City-owned existing property and the population exposed to a hazard. A quantitative
vulnerability assessment is limited to the exposure of people, buildings, and infrastructure to the
identified hazards. This risk assessment includes only those hazards that have the ability to cause
damage to buildings and infrastructure. More detailed assessments of risk that would include
deaths and injuries, and economic losses, are beyond the scope of this plan.

* Pandemic and Electrical Failure (PSPS) hazards do not have associated values for potential
losses as they generally do not result in physical damage to infrastructure and facilities. Both can
result in substantial costs for emergency protective measures and other response activities.
6.6.4 Analysis of Potential Losses
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards to include the
number of potential structures impacted by the hazards and the total potential costs. The
analysis of potential losses calculated in Table 6.6 used the best data currently available to
produce the estimations of loss. These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from
hazards and potential losses. There are uncertainties in any loss estimation method, resulting
from lack of scientific study and the exact result of hazard effects on the built environment, and
from the use of approximations that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.
In addition, this assessment does not include analysis of non-City owned facilities, even though
they are deemed critical. The City does not have replacement or content values or insured values
for critical infrastructure, private businesses, schools, and churches. A mitigation action was
developed to acquire that information so a complete analysis of critical facilities can be
completed to show total potential loss in the City.
A quantitative assessment has been prepared for the critical facilities affected by each hazard
assessed and multiplied by a value of percent damage. The percent damage was determ ined by
the geographic area at stake, previous history of damage from the type of hazard, and potential
for severity from the hazard profiles.

7.1 Overview
The mitigation strategy for the City of Temecula is based on informed assumptions, recognizing
both mitigation challenges and opportunities, with the ultimate mission of creating a disaster
resistant and sustainable community for the future. The mitigation strategy is derived from an
in-depth understanding of possible deficiencies between potential vulnerabilities and existing
capabilities, with the mitigation objectives in mind. The mitigation strategy builds upon the
previous mitigation actions identified by the City of Temecula 2017 LHMP and was expanded to
consider current needs.
7.2 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
To better assist with the identification of mitigation measures, mitigation goals and objectives
were developed. The mitigation goals and ob ectives support the City’s mitigation mission to
create a disaster ready, disaster resilient and sustainable community while remaining aligned
with the Operational Area. As a result, some of the goals and objectives were removed and/or
reworded. Well defined goals and objectives were used by the Planning Team as a starting point
prior to identifying mitigation measures. The goals and objectives include:
• Goal 1: Minimize Loss of Life and Injuries
o Objective 1.1: Provide timely notification and direction to the public in preparation
for imminent and potential hazards.
o Objective 1.2: Protect public health and safety through mitigation, preparing for,
responding to, and recovering from the effect of natural, technological, or man -
made disasters.
o Objective 1.3: Reduce hazard impacts and protect life, property, and the
environment from damages.
o Objective 1.4: Improve understanding of the type, location, and effects of hazards
and vulnerabilities, as well as measures needed to protect life.
o Objective 1.5: Improve community transportation corridors to allow for better
evacuation routes for public and better access for emergency responders.
o Objective 1.6: Develop policies and procedures to better serve disadvantaged and
vulnerable populations.
7. MITIGATION STRATEGY
Page|124
• Goal 2: Improve Community and Agency Awareness
o Objective 2.1: Increase public awareness about the natura and extent of hazards
they are exposed to, where they occur, what is vulnerable, and recommended
response to identified hazards.
o Objective 2.2: Improve mitigation and hazard related outreach to businesses, city
departments, and stakeholders to increase their understanding of the threats
within the city.
o Objective 2.3: Establish and maintain partnerships between all levels of local
government, the private sector, the business community, community groups, and
institutions of higher learning that exchange information on hazards and the
benefits of mitigation measures.
• G : h u ’ Capability to Mitigate Hazards and Reduce Exposure
to Hazard Related Losses
o Objective 3.1: Reduce hazard related property losses by enforcing strong building
codes.
o Objective 3.2: Reduce repetitive losses for fire, flood, and earthquakes by
encouraging community protective measures and by anticipating future events.
o Objective 3.3: Reduce hazard impacts to critical facilities, utilities, and services
through the implementation of low-cost mitigation strategies.
o Objective 3.4: Continue to strengthen land use regulations in high hazard areas.
• Goal 4: Reduce Hazard Related Property Losses
o Objective 4.1: Reduce hazard impacts to critical facilities, utilities, and services
through the implementation of low-cost mitigation strategies.
o Objective 4.2: Continue to strengthen land use regulations in high hazard areas.
• Goal 5: Maintain Coordination for Disaster Planning and Integrated Public Policy
o Objective 5.1: Incorporate changes with CalOES and FEMA that may affect public
policy and planning.
o Objective 5.2: Incorporate mitigation related activities into other disaster planning
mechanisms, such as the General Plan and Capital Improvement Plan.
• Goal 6: Improve Emergency Management Capability
o Objective 6.1: Identify the need for, and acquire, any special emergency
management equipment to enhance response capabilities for specific hazards.
o Objective 6.2: Develop and maintain emergency plans (Response, Recovery,
Preparedness, Prevention, Mitigation).
o Objective 6.3: Establish and maintain emergency management systems and
facilities.
o Objective 6.4: Develop and maintain Public-Private Partnerships.
o Objective 6.5: Develop and maintain Memorandums of Understanding/Mutual
Aid Agreements.
Page|125
o Objective 6.6: Develop, maintain, and share essential data (demographics,
hazards, buildings, resources, personnel).
o Objective 6.7: Develop, maintain, and implement emergency management
training curriculum.
o Objective 6.8: Design and implement disaster response exercises (tabletop,
functional, full-scale).
7.3 Progress Implementing Mitigation Measures
As part of the LHMP update process, the Planning Team reviewed the mitigation actions included
in the previous plan. The review included identifying the status of the mitigation action
(completed, not started, in progress, or no longer needed). Those mitigation actions that were
determined to be “on-going” were placed under the Mitigation Governance section of
Capabilities Assessment chapter. In other words, the Planning Team deemed that since the
measure did not have a stop or start date, it should not be placed under these sections and should
be captured in the Mitigation Governance with the other ongoing mitigation programs. If deemed
“as needed”, the mitigation measure was carried over to the new list of mitigation measures.
Additionally, descriptions of the carried over, needed mitigation actions were reviewed, and in
some cases, the name was changed, the scope was expanded, and/or the mitigation measure
was merged with another (public outreach for all-hazards, not just flooding or fires). Table 7.1
indicated the status of each of the mitigation measures from the previous plan.

7.4 Mitigation Measure Prioritization
The HMPT used the STAPLEE Criteria (Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic,
and Environmental) to evaluate the feasibility of each of the mitigation measures being
considered for inclusion in the LHMP update. The STAPLEE process helped the HMPT understand
possible challenges that could hinder the ability to implement the mitigation measure. The
STAPLEE Criteria includes the following considerations:
Page|126
• Social
o Is the proposed action socially acceptable to the community?
o Are there equity issues involved that would mean that one segment of the
community is treated unfairly?
o Will the action cause social disruption?
• Technical
o Will the proposed action work?
o Will it create more problems that it will solve?
o Does it involve a problem or only a symptom?
o Is it the most useful action in light of other community goals?
• Administrative
o Can the community implement the action?
o Is there someone to coordinate and lead the effort?
o Is there sufficient funding, staff, and technical support available?
o Are there ongoing administrative requirements that need t o be met?
• Political
o Is the action politically acceptable?
o Is there public support both to implement and to maintain the project?
• Legal
o Is the community authorized to implement the proposed action? Is there a clear
legal basis or precedent for this activity?
o Are there legal side effects? Could the activity be construed as a taking?
o Is the proposed action allowed by the general plan, or must the general plan be
amended to allow the proposed action?
o Will the community be liable for action or lack of action?
o Will the activity be challenged?
• Economic
o What are the costs and benefits of this action?
o Do the benefits exceed the costs?
o Are initial, maintenance, and administrative costs considered?
o Has funding been secured for the proposed action? If not, what are the potential
sources (public, non-profit, and private)?
o How will this action affect the fiscal capability of the community?
o What burden will this action place on the tax base or local economy?
o What are the budget and revenue effects of this activity?
o Does the action contribute to other community goals, such as capital
improvements or economic development?
o What benefits will the action provide?
Page|127
• Environmental
o How will the action affect the environment?
o Will the action need environmental regulatory approvals?
o Will it meet local and state regulatory requirements?
o Are endangered or threatened species likely to be affected?
Each proposed mitigation measure was assessed and given a score between 1-5 where 5 is
favorable/beneficial (or no major issues/opposition) and 1 is unfavorable/not beneficial (or major
issues/opposition) for each of the STAPLEE criteria. The scores were then totaled, and a final
score was established for each mitigation measure. A relative comparison of mitigation measures
helps understand which mitigation measure may have the greatest potential for implementation.
However, the HMPT recognized that this ranking does not (and should not) preclude the City
from funding mitigation actions lower on the list first, especially if funding is available.
7.5 Mitigation Measures & Projects
The focus of the mitigation measures was on the “high” priority (Tier I) hazards (Transportation
Failure, Energy Shortage/Power Outage, Flood, Wildfire, and Earthquake); however, some
mitigation measures do address other hazards or cut across all hazards. Mitigation measures
were identified by assessing the effectiveness of current capabilities (existing plans, policies, and
programs) against the expected impacts (vulnerabilities). Table 7.2 represents the proposed
mitigation measures identified by the Planning Team.

The HMPT made assessments to determine if plans, policies, and/or programs needed to be
expanded and/or improved; and whether those changes would support reducing the hazard. Any
recommended changes to plans, policies, and programs are reflective in Table 7.2. It is also worth
to note, that consideration was also given to needed plans, policies, and programs. They too are
also included in Table 7.2.
In addition to the proposed mitigation actions above, the HMPT decided to focus on three (3)
mitigation projects that will support lessening the impact and reduction of hazards from floods
Page|129
and wildfires. These Mitigation projects were identified by assessing the top hazards affecting
the City of Temecula and validating their existence against curr ent capabilities (existing plans,
policies, and programs) against the expected impacts (vulnerabilities ). Table 7.3 represents the
proposed mitigation projects identified by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team.

7.6 Mitigation Measure Implementation Plan
Table 7.4 reflects the implementation plan for each mitigation measure. The implementation
plan identifies the lead department responsible for the action, the estimated cost, potential
funding source to support the action, and the proposed timeframe for completion. It is important
to note that while a lead department is identified that some other City departments (i.e.,
Information Technology, Police, Fire, or Facilities) may actually take the lead depending on the
project (i.e., Memorandums of Understanding- MOUs and Business Continuity Plan- BCPs).
Emergency Management may coordinate the effort, but the other City departments may actually
take the lead to complete the particular MOU or BCP. Additionally, the City inte nds to actively
search for other possible funding source to help implement the mitigation measures, but those
resources are not known at this time to be listed. It is also worth to note that Temecula has listed
Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants under several of the mitigation measures. The City
recognizes that HMA grants include the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Building
Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) funding.
It was deemed better by the Planning Team to list it collectively, instead of only selecting 1 or 2
of the grant programs as to not limit consideration under the other grant programs.

8.1 Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan
The City of Temecula Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will lead the effort and will be
responsible for ensuring that this plan is being monitored and evaluated over the next five (5)
years. While there is not a confirmed meeting schedule, OEM will ensu re that at a minimum,
there is an annual meeting of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) and possibly other
interested stakeholders to discuss the LHMP and any possible changes to hazards or
vulnerabilities. The first annual meeting will occur at the beginning of the year following the date
of FEMA approval. The annual review with the HMPT will include but not be limited to:
• Status on progress towards implementing mitigation measures
• The need for additional and/or removal of mitigation measures
• Adjustments to the mitigation measure and/or implementation plan
• Addition to the goals and/or objectives
• Revisions to the hazard profiles, primarily focused on description, history, and location
In addition to the annual meetings, OEM may also leverage existing meetings to review, evaluate,
and discuss progress on the mitigation actions set forth in this plan. OEM will ensure that the
LHMP is an agenda item or incorporated into the discussion notes in those meetings where
appropriate.
The HMPT will also visit the LHMP after significant hazard events; ensuring Lessons Learned and
other vital information is captured for incorporation into future LHMP revisions. This will provide
the HMPT with an opportunity to evaluate the value of any implemented mitigation actions,
validate the needs of the remaining mitigation actions, and possibly identify additional mitigation
actions.
Information obtained from all of these meetings will be captured by OEM and made available for
the next LHMP update.
8.1.1 Coordinating Body
OEM will also lead the effort to update the LHMP. The City of Temecula specific Hazard Mitigation
Planning Team will continue to be responsible for Plan maintenance. The Temecula Team is made
up of representatives from the following departments:
• City Manager’s Office Economic Development
• City Clerk’s Office
• Finance Department
• Community Services
• Community Development / Building & Safety
8. PLAN ADMINISTRATION
Page|134
• Office of Emergency Management
• Public Works
• Information Technology
• Riverside County Sheriff's Department
• Temecula Fire Department (CALFire / Riverside County Fire Department)
Understanding the need not to have the LHMP expire, OEM will begin the process of updating
the LHMP two (2) years prior to the plan expiration date. OEM may or may not seek a Hazard
Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant or the assistance of a consultant to support this effort. If this
is true, OEM will incorporate appropriate time to account for this need.
8.2 Incorporating into other Planning Efforts
The City of Temecula is aware of the hazards that face its community, as historic incidents prove
that disasters continue to evolve as a common occurrence in this area. The City will continue to
strive toward protecting the life, property, and economy of the City of Temecula. Temecula also
supports an all-hazard approach, encouraging information sharing between City Departments to
incorporate into other planning efforts. As other plans are developed, the LHMP information will
be leveraged and incorporated when other plans could benefit from a better understanding of
hazards and the potential mitigation measures that can be taken. Over the past five (5) years,
personnel challenges have limited the City’s ability to fully incorporate the LHMP into other plans.
While previous planning team members have championed and shared LHMP information during
other planning efforts, there has not been a formalized process to truly integrate the LHMP
information into other plans. The City, through the hiring of its first professional emergency
manager, is committed to keep pushing for better integration of LHMP information. The City of
Temecula is anticipating incorporating and/or leveraging the information from the LHMP into
the:
• Emergency Operations Plan
• General Plan
• Climate Action Plan
• Storm Water Collection Plan
• Continuity of Government/Operations Plan
• Wildland Vegetation Management Plan
• Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Plan(s)
The City of Temecula will be incorporating the LHMP into the City’s update to the General Plan
Safety Element. As opportunities present themselves, the City will make every effort to
incorporate the new LHMP information into other plans where appropriate. In the meantime,
the LHMP will be utilized to assess future developments in accordance with the General Plan. In
addition to reviewing future development against relevant land use and zoning regulations,
building codes and fire codes, and environmental and engineering standards, it will also be
Page|135
reviewed against the LHMP. Proposed development projects will be assessed to determine
exposure (or risk) to community hazards. The LHMP will also serve as a reference for suggested
mitigation measure to reduce and/or eliminate risk from those hazards.
8.3 Continued Stakeholder and Public Involvement
As mentioned under Section 2.4 and 2.5, the City of Temecula will organize and/or participate in
a variety of meetings/events to share and exchange information about mitigation with
stakeholders and the public. The City will use its social media platforms and when appropriate,
leverage stakeholder and community social media platforms to announce the meetings/events.
This City will also continue to provide public forums which gives the public and local emergency
managers the opportunity to collaborate and coordinate prior to an emergency occurri ng.

•Probability
o High:(Highly Likely/Likely)There may or may not have been historic occurrences of the hazard in the community or region,
but experts feel that it is likely that the hazard will occur in the community.Citizens feel that there is a likelihood of occurrence.
o Medium:(Possible)There may or may not have been a historic occurrence of the hazard in the community or region,but
experts feel that it is possible that the hazard could occur in the community.Citizens may feel that there is a likelihood of
occurrence.
o Low:(Unlikely)There have been no historic occurrences of the hazard in the community or region and both experts and citizens
agree that it is highly unlikely that the hazard will occur in the community.
•Impact
o High:(Catastrophic/Critical)Both experts and citizens feel that the consequences will be significant in terms of building damage
and loss of life.
o Medium:(Limited,but not insignificant)Consequences are thought to be modest in terms of building damage and loss of life,

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On February 20, 2019, the City of Temecula Planning Commission approved Planning Application
PA18-0081 and PA18-0497. This approval allowed for a three-story affordable multi-family
housing project and related Tentative Parcel Map. The project totaled sixty units with fifteen units
available for special needs occupants (twelve units for autism and three units for sensory) and
created one lot from three. On October 19, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved
revisions to the original Conditions of Approval for this project as well as revisions to the
elevations.
On December 7, 2022, Jarrod Sharp submitted Planning Application PA22-1101, a Modification
application to the approved development plan to allow an additional revision to the previously
approved Conditions of Approval for PA18-0081. The applicant is seeking financial incentives
from the State of California. The State has set timing thresholds for project milestones in order to
remain eligible for the incentives. This revision has been requested by the applicant to facilitate
timing compliance with State of California requirements.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The modification application will allow for a revision to the previously approved Conditions of
Approval (COA) for the Development Plan. The COA amendment will focus on adjusting the
implementation timing of COA No. 43. The language for this COA is as follows:
Creek Access: The project shall obtain all necessary approvals to provide pedestrian access for
residents to the Murrieta Creek Trail.
3
As originally approved, this COA must be satisfied prior to the issuance of a building permit. The
modification will revise the timing threshold to prior to certificate of occupancy.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in The Press-Enterprise on January 19, 2023 and
mailed to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the previously approved Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) and is exempt from further environmental review (Section 15162,
Subsequent EIRS and Negative Declarations).
A MND was prepared under staff’s direction by Environmental Science Associates (ESA) as part
of the original project approval. The MND was approved by the Planning Commission on
February 20, 2019, and identified no areas where impacts were considered Significant and
Unavoidable. The current modification application will allow for a revision to the previously
approved Conditions of Approval. The revision is not anticipated to intensify impacts to the
previously analyzed and approved MND. In addition, the modification will not impact any of the
mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared as
part of the original project approval documents.
FINDINGS
Modifications (Section 17.05.030.E)
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable
requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City.
The project was originally approved as an attached affordable multi-family housing development
within the Neighborhood Residential District of the Old Town Specific Plan. Attached multi-family
housing is permitted in the Neighborhood Residential District. Both the General Plan and Zoning
designation refer to the specific plan for zoning/use requirements. The modification will allow for
a revision to the previously approved Conditions of Approval (COA) for the Development Plan.
The COA amendment will adjust the implementation timing for when trail access must be made
available for residents of the project. The project will remain an affordable housing development
upon completion of the modification and thus in conformance with the specific plan, General Plan,
and Development Code. Negative impacts are not anticipated.
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and
general welfare.
When the project was initially approved it was determined to be designed for the protection of the
Public health, safety, and general welfare. The project has been designed so that it complies with
the Building and Development Codes. These codes contain provisions designed to ensure for the
public health, safety, and general welfare. The revision to the condition of approval will only
4
adjust the implementation timing for when trail access must be made available for residents of the
project. The revision does not impact the design of the project.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On October 25, 2022, MS-Mountain View, LLC submitted Planning Application PA22-1034, a
Development Plan for the construction of an approximately 17,110 square foot industrial
building located at 27562 Via Industria.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The project is located in the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district. The applicant seeks to
construct a new approximately 17,110 square foot industrial building. The project is consistent
with the City of Temecula Design Guidelines for industrial development in that the loading areas
are screened from public view by an 8’-0” fence and a sliding access gate.
The vehicular access to the project is from a single driveway on Via Industria that utilizes
enhanced paving with score lines. The project is required to provide 22 parking spaces for an
office/warehouse use per Table 17.24.040 of the City of Temecula Development Code. The
project proposes 38 parking spaces.
The project provides an outdoor employee break area that includes tables with seats, umbrellas, a
trash receptacle, and enhanced paving.
Architecture
The architectural design of the project features four-sided architecture that incorporates painted
concrete, anodized aluminum, metal canopies, and a prominent entrance to the building using an
eye-catching color and window glazing. The building is architecturally designed to match other
buildings proposed along Avenida Alvarado and Via Industria and is complementary to other
recently approved industrial buildings within the City of Temecula.
Landscaping
The project, when completed, would provide 23% landscaping which exceeds the minimum 20%
landscape requirement of the development code. Plant types include fern pine, palo verde,
Mexican honeysuckle, Texas ranger, and creeping fig.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise on January 19, 2023, and
mailed to the property owners within a 600-foot radius.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15332, In-Fill
Development Projects);
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable
general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because industrial
buildings are an allowable use within the Industrial Park designation. The project also meets all
applicable General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five
acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The project is located within City limits and is located on a site that is 1.16 acres in size. The
proposed project is substantially surrounded by industrial development, vacant land zoned for
industrial development, and major roadways.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not located within a Multi Species Habitation Conservation Strategy
(MSHCP) criteria cell and therefore is not required by the Regional Conservation Authority and
State and Federal agencies to take place in the Joint Project Review process. Therefore, the
project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality.
The proposed project was required to prepare a Project-Specific Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP) that was reviewed and conceptually accepted for entitlement by City Staff as the
WQMP meets the requirements of the City of Temecula. A traffic analysis was not required as
part of this project as the proposed use is allowed within the Light Industrial z oning district, and
there is nothing unique about this project that would trigger the need for a traffic analysis.
Therefore, the project is not anticipated to result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality as the project is an allowed use per the City of Temecula
General Plan, and the zoning district.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is surrounded by development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities
and public services.

Police 24-hour dispatch Center at (951) 696-HELP.
113.
Alarm System. Upon completion of construction, the buildings shall have a monitored alarm
system installed and monitored 24 hours a day by a designated private alarm company to

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.
116.
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 int erior of the
buildings.
117.

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 aware 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.
120.
Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
695-2773.

Project Title: MS-Mountain View Building 15 (PA22-1034)
Description of Project: A Development Plan for the construction of an approximately 17,110 square foot
industrial building
Project Location: APN: 909-290-048
Applicant/Proponent: City of Temecula, County of Riverside
The Planning Commission approved the above described project on February 1, 2023 and found that the project
is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended.
Exempt Status: (check one)
Ministerial (Section 21080(b)(1); Section 15268);
Declared Emergency (Section 21080(b)(3); Section 15269(a));
Emergency Project (Section 21080(b)(4); Section 15269(b)(c));
Statutory Exemptions (Section Number: )
Categorical Exemption: (Section Number 15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects)
Other:
Statement of Reasons Supporting the Finding that the Project is Exempt:
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable gener al plan policies
as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because industrial buildings are an
allowable use within the Industrial Park designation. The project also meets all applicable General Plan and
Zoning policies and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses.
The project is located within City limits and is located on a site that is 1.16 acres in size. The proposed project
is substantially surrounded by industrial development, vacant land zoned for industrial development, and major
roadways.
2
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not located within a Multi Species Habitation Conservation Strategy (MSHCP) criteria cell
and therefore is not required by the Regional Conservation Authority and State and Federal agencies to take
place in the Joint Project Review process. Therefore, the project site has no value as habitat for endangered,
rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or
water quality.
The proposed project was required to prepare a Project-Specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) that
was reviewed and conceptually accepted for entitlement by City Staff as the WQMP meets the requirements of
the City of Temecula. A traffic analysis was not required as part of this project as the proposed use is allowed
within the Light Industrial zoning district, and there is nothing unique about this project that would trigger the
need for a traffic analysis. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality as the project is an allowed use per the City of Temecula General
Plan, and the zoning district.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is surrounded by development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities and public

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On October 25, 2022, MS-Mountain View, LLC submitted Planning Application PA22-1035, a
Development Plan for the construction of an approximately 20,825 square foot industrial
building located at 27550 Via Industria.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The project is located in the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district. The applicant seeks to
construct a new approximately 20,825 square foot industrial building. The project is consistent
with the City of Temecula Design Guidelines for industrial development in that the loading areas
are screened from public view by an 8’-0” fence and a sliding access gate.
The vehicular access to the project is from a single driveway on Via Industria that utilizes
enhanced paving with score lines. The project is required to provide 26 parking spaces for an
office/warehouse use per Table 17.24.040 of the City of Temecula Development Code. The
project proposes 30 parking spaces.
The project provides an outdoor employee break area that includes tables with seats, umbrellas, a
trash receptacle, and enhanced paving.
Architecture
The architectural design of the project features four-sided architecture that incorporates painted
concrete, anodized aluminum, metal canopies, and a prominent entrance to the building using an
captivating color and window glazing. The building is architecturally designed to match other
buildings proposed along Avenida Alvarado and Via Industria and is complementary to other
recently approved industrial buildings within the City of Temecula.
Landscaping
The project, when completed, would provide 28% landscaping which exceeds the minimum 20%
landscape requirement of the development code. Plant types include Mediterranean cypress,
palo verde, Mexican honeysuckle, lantana gold rush, and creeping fig.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise on January 19, 2023, and
mailed to the property owners within a 600-foot radius.

resources. Any newly discovered cultural resource deposits shall be subject to a cultural
resources evaluation. The archaeological monitor's authority to stop and redirect grading will
be exercised in consultation with the Pechanga Tribe in order to evaluate the significance of
any potential resources discovered on the property. Pechanga and archaeological monitors
shall be allowed to monitor all grading, excavation and groundbreaking activities, and shall
also have the limited authority to stop and redirect grading activities should an inadvertent
cultural resource be identified. The archaeologist shall provide a final monitoring report at the
end of all earthmoving activities to the City of Temecula, the Pechanga Tribe and the Eastern

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 aware 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

Riverside, CA 92501-0751 Temecula, CA 92590
Project Title: MS-Mountain View Building 16 (PA22-1035)
Description of Project: A Development Plan for the construction of an approximately 20,825 square foot
industrial building
Project Location: APN: 909-290-023
Applicant/Proponent: City of Temecula, County of Riverside
The Planning Commission approved the above described project on February 1, 2023 and found that the project
is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended.
Exempt Status: (check one)
Ministerial (Section 21080(b)(1); Section 15268);
Declared Emergency (Section 21080(b)(3); Section 15269(a));
Emergency Project (Section 21080(b)(4); Section 15269(b)(c));
Statutory Exemptions (Section Number: )
Categorical Exemption: (Section Number 15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects)
Other:
Statement of Reasons Supporting the Finding that the Project is Exempt:
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies
as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because industrial buildings are an
allowable use within the Industrial Park designation. The project also meets all applicable General Plan and
Zoning policies and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses.
The project is located within City limits and is located on a site that is 1.20 acres in size. The proposed project
is substantially surrounded by industrial development, vacant land zoned for industrial development, and major
roadways.
2
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not located within a Multi Species Habitation Conservation Strategy (MSHCP) criteria cell
and therefore is not required by the Regional Conservation Authority and State and Federal agencies to take
place in the Joint Project Review process. Therefore, the project site has no value as habitat for endangered,
rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or
water quality.
The proposed project was required to prepare a Project-Specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) that
was reviewed and conceptually accepted for entitlement by City Staff as the WQMP meets the requirements of
the City of Temecula. A traffic analysis was not required as part of this project as the proposed use is allowed
within the Light Industrial zoning district, and there is nothing unique about this project that would trigger the
need for a traffic analysis. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality as the project is an allowed use per the City of Temecula General
Plan, and the zoning district.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is surrounded by development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities and public
services.
