Executive Summary
1.0 Executive Summary
The Project
The proposed project analyzed in this Program EIR is the adoption and implementation of the City
of Temecula General Plan Update. The updated General Plan establishes an overall development
capacity for the City and surrounding areas, and serves as a policy guide for determining the
appropriate physical development and character of the City for the next 20 years. The Land Use
Element establishes land use designations to identify the types and nature of future development
permitted throughout the Planning Area. The Circulation Element describes how T emecula
residents and employees get around using automobiles, public transit, bicycles, airplanes, sidewalks
and trails, and railways. In addition, it presents the City's plan for future roadways that provide
adequate capacity to accommodate travel needs resulting from development pursuant to the Land
Use Element. All of the elements combined establish a vision for the City, emphasizing a family-
focused lifestyle while promoting a strong local business community and agricultural, technological,
and manufacturing industries, so that the community remains an attractive and enjoyable place to
live, work, and play.
Project location
T emecula is located in southwestern Riverside County. The City is bordered by the De Luz area to
the west, the City of Murrieta to the north, unincorporated County of Riverside land to the east, and
the Pechanga Indian Reservation, Bureau of Land Management lands, and unincorporated portions
of San Diego County to the south. Figure 3-1 in Section 3.0, Project Description, shows T emecula in
a regional context and outlines the Planning Area.
The Planning Area encompasses approximately 62 square miles (39,680 gross acres), and it consists
of properties contained within the City's corporate limits and sphere of influence, as well as portions
of unincorporated Riverside County currently outside the City's sphere of influence. The present
City boundary encompasses approximately 28 square miles (17,955 gross acres). Twenty-four
square miles are within the sphere of influence and the remainder of the Planning Area.
The sphere of influence was established by the Riverside County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) to identify unincorporated areas that will most likely annex to the City of
T emecula in the future, on a project-by-project basis. The sphere of influence consists of open
space, undeveloped land, some residential development, vineyards/agricultural land, the French
Valley Airport, and the Pechanga Indian Reservation. The remainder of the Planning Area consists
primarily of undeveloped land and vineyards/agricultural land.

Executive Summary
Project Objectives
The General Plan establishes a comprehensive community vision for Temecula with regard to land
use, housing, circulation, safety, open space/conservation, noise, growth management, economic
development, and community design. The vision for the community is based on the following
principles:
. A family-focused lifestyle enjoyed by residents while promoting a strong local business
community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries.
. The community continues to be a regional destination for those seeking the desirable
atmosphere of the wineries and historic Old Town.
. A strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and cultural
amenities make T emecula a desirable place for higher education facilities to locate.
. The local circulation system meets thc nccds of Tcmccu/a rcsidcnts and busincsscs
whilc calming traffic in residcntial ncighborhoods and ncar schools. Within this
circulation system, pedestrians and cyclists arc able to travel safcly and quickly
throughout the community and appropriate pedcstrian-oricnted mixcd commercial
and office uses are concentrated within village centers.
. Commercial, office, and light industrial uses locate and thrive in Temecula, providing
fiscal stability to the City and a revenue sourcc to finance community improvements
and open space resources, including cultural art centers, community centers, and
parks.
. Diverse housing options are available to meet the needs of all segments of the
community while protecting the character and value of single-family neighborhoods.
. High quality education is offered and children are provided strong role models and
training for a successful future.
. Properties are well maintained so the community remains an attractivc and enjoyable
place to live, work, and play.
Based on these principles, long-term community goals and decision-making policies are defined
using text and maps within ten General Plan elements (or chapters). Each element also includes
implementation programs describing actions or strategies corresponding to adopted goals and
policies. The recommended implementation programs serve as the basis for future programming
decisions related to the assignment of staff and expenditure of City funds.

Executive Summary
Project Characteristics
In terms of guiding physical development within the Planning Area, the General Plan elements of
most importance are the land Use and Circulation Elements. Other sections of the General Plan
address open space/conservation, growth management, public safety, noise, air quality, community
design, economic development, and housing. The issues addressed in each subject area often
overlap. A general description of each subject area is provided below.
land Use Element
The land Use Element describes the economic, social, physical, and cultural aspects of the
T emecula Planning Area. Determining the future location, type, and intensity of new development
and reuse projects, and establishing the desired mix and relationship between such projects are the
primary objectives. Figure 3-2 in Section 3.0, Project Description depicts the proposed land Use
Policy Map. The land Use Element establishes land use designations to identify the types and
nature of development permitted throughout the Planning Area, providing a mix of land uses to
achieve a suitable inventory of housing for a range of income groups, a viable commercial and
employment base for residents and surrounding communities, ample open space and recreational
opportunities, adequate public facilities and services, and high-quality urban, suburban and rural
lifestyles for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Considerable future development potential exists both within the City's corporate limits, and within
the sphere of influence and remainder of the Planning Area. An estimated 25,005 net new
residential units may be constructed in the next 20 years pursuant to General Plan policy, resulting
in as many as 54,687 total residential units at buildout in 2025. During this time, approximately
36.2 million square feet of net new nonresidential development is expected to be developed,
resulting in just over 78.3 million square feet of nonresidential development within the Planning
Area. The General Plan has been designed to manage the pace and direct the location of future
development using goals, policies, and implementation programs that ensure preservation of a high
quality of life as the City faces increased growth pressures.
Circulation Element
The Circulation Eleme~t describes how T emecula residents and employees get around using
automobiles, public transit, bicycles, airplanes, sidewalks and trails, and railways. The City strives to
reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on roadways, to provide useful travel alternatives to
the automobile, and to provide better access to regional travel routes.
The proposed Roadway Plan established within the Circulation Element is illustrated in Figure 3-3 in
Section 3.0, Project Description. Future roadways have been designed to provide adequate capacity
to accommodate travel needs resulting from development pursuant to the land Use Element within
the T emecula Planning Area, as well as attempting to anticipate future development in the County
of Riverside and the City of Murrieta. The Circulation Element establishes eight types of roadways,
ranging from eight-lane high capacity divided roadways to two-lane undivided roadways.
Improvements needed to upgrade Temecula's roadways to achieve the Roadway Plan are detailed
in the Traffic and Circulation Report for this EIR (Appendix 8), and summarized in Section 5.13,

Executive Summary
Transportation of this EIR. These improvements will be programmed within the City's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
The extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road as a Limited
Secondary Arterial is not part of the project. The roadway extension is an issue of concern to many
within the community who feel it may lead to additional vehicle trips, noise, and loss of open space
within established low- and low-medium density residential neighborhoods. Thus, the extension of
North General Kearney Road is discussed as an alternative to the proposed project in Section 6.0 of
the EIR.
Housing Element
The City's Housing Element was recently updated in 2002. The City adopted a Negative
Declaration for the Housing Element. Therefore no comprehensive update to this Element is
included in the project.
Open Space/Conservation Element
The Open Space/Conservation Element contains goals, policies and implementation programs that
encourage conservation and management of natural resources, including: biological/ecological
resources, water resources, energy resources, agricultural resources, and open space. The Element
also ensures the provision of parks and recreation opportunities and preservation of the City's
historic and cultural heritage. The conservation component contains goals and policies that further
the protection and maintenance of the State's resources in the Temecula Planning Area. These
resources include water, soils, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources that should be
considered to prevent wasteful exploitation, degradation, and destruction. The Open
Space/Conservation Element also incorporates goals and policies related to parks and recreation.
This section of the Element focuses on the relationship of park space to the entire T emecula open
space system and on the dedication and provision of parkland, trails, and recreation facilities.
Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
The purpose of the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element is to promote orderly growth and
development based on the City's ability to provide adequate public facilities and services. This
Element sets forth policies and standards to ensure that future development is coordinated with
public facilities and services at desired levels of service. Other aspects of growth management are
found within the Land Use, Circulation, Air Quality and other elements of the General Plan. Taken
together, these sections will influence growth and development within the City and surrounding
areas to achieve the quality of life embodied in the Plan. The growth management component of
this Element addresses local and regional growth management issues, including compliance with
State laws affecting growth in T emecula. The public facilities component addresses both
infrastructure and public services. Infrastructure includes sewer, water, storm drain systems, as well
as public facilities. Public services include police, fire, emergency medical, public schools, solid and
hazardous waste disposal, and civic and cultural facilities.

Executive Summary
Public Safety Element
The purpose of the Public Safety Element is to identify and address natural features, characteristics
and human activities in or near T emecula that represent potential hazards to residents, structures,
public facilities, and infrastructure. The Public Safety Element establishes policies to minimize
potential danger to persons and property, establishes programs to regulate development in hazard-
prone areas, and identifies actions to manage emergency situations. Potential natural hazards
addressed in the Element include geologic instability, seismic events, wild land fires, flooding, and
dam failures. Potential human-caused hazards addressed in the Element include hazardous
materials and waste handling, nuclear power production (at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station,
located 25 miles west of the Planning Area). and criminal activity.
Noise Element
The City strives to reduce the impacts of noise through a combination of land use planning, site
criteria, noise reduction and enforcement strategies. The policies and programs provided in the
Noise Element are designed to protect the quality of life within residential neighborhoods, schools,
and other noise-sensitive uses, and to protect these sensitive areas from the persistent hazards of
excessive noise. Potential noise sources are identified and programs established to avoid or
mitigate noise impacts associated with community development. Future noise conditions
associated with both short- and long-term growth are quantified and identilied within noise
exposure contours. The contours serve as the basis for developing guidelines to identify compatible
land uses
Air Quality Element
The Air Quality Element establishes a policy foundation to implement local air quality improvement
measures and provides a framework for coordination of air quality planning efforts with surrounding
jurisdictions. The City has important roles and commitments to the implementation of the AQMP
and Sub-Regional Air Quality Implementation Program. Continued efforts to provide regional
public transit and high speed rail systems in the area will also lead to reductions in vehicle trips and
improved air quality. The Air Quality Element outlines the City's plan to improve the quality of
Temecula's air for the health and benefit of all residents.
Community Design Element
The Community Design Element addresses the physical aspects of T emecula that contribute to the
image and character of the natural and built environments. This Element establishes a policy
foundation to implement both city-wide and focused area design criteria. The Community Design
Element addresses physical aspects of T emecula that contribute to the image and character of the
natural and built environments. Community Design Element policies provide the framework for:
.
Overall city image enhancement,
Preservation and enhancement of districts and neighborhoods,
Design of public spaces and improvements such as community gathering areas and
the streetscape system, and
Preservation of significant natural features and public viewsheds.

Executive Summary
Alternatives to the Proposed Project
The City has considered alternatives to the proposed General Plan. Through the comparison of
potential alternatives to the proposed project, the relative advantages of each can be weighed and
analyzed. The CEQA Guidelines require that a range of alternatives addressed be "governed by a
rule of reason that requires the EIR to set forth only those alternatives necessary to permit a
reasoned choice" (Section 15126.6[a]). This EIR does not consider an alternative site because the
project involves all properties within the Planning Area. The following alternatives are examined in
the EIR:
Alternative 1: No Project - 1993 General Plan
The No Project Alternative assumes that the 1993 General Plan remains as the adopted long-range
planning policy document for the Planning Area. The No Project Alternative represents conditions
that would exist in the year 2025 if development with the Planning Area and the region continued
to grow at the pace and extent permitted in the 1993 General Plan, and if the 1993 General Plan
policies were implemented by the year 2025.
Development pursuant to the No Project Alternative would not implement the policies and
programs of the proposed General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements. Development would
continue pursuant to the policies of the 1993 General Plan. As a result, the local circulation system
would not meet the needs of T emecula residents and businesses nor calm traffic in residential
neighborhoods and near schools because the existing transportation system is not sufficient to
provide for the efficient flow of traffic throughout the Planning Area. The No Project Alternative
does not specifically provide for mixed-use areas, but rather designates numerous "village centers"
throughout T emecula, several of which have already developed into other more traditional
commercial uses. Therefore, concentrated areas adjacent to 1-15 with an appropriate pedestrian-
oriented mix of commercial, office, and residential uses would not result under the No Project
Alternative. Further, the No Project Alternative would not establish agricultural preservation areas,
the lack of which would hinder the City's objective to be a regional historical and viticultural
destination. The No Project Alternative would not meet most of the identified project objectives.
The No Project Alternative generally would have the same significant unavoidable impacts as the
proposed project and would introduce several new significant impacts related to agricultural
resources, air quality, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services and
recreation, transportation, and utilities and service systems. Further, the No Project Alternative
would fail to meet many of the project objectives.
f
Alternative 2: Extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima
Road to Nicolas Road
Alternative 2 was conceived as a means of reducing traffic/circulation impacts along several
roadway segments and at intersections in the northwestern portion of the City. In the Meadowview
neighborhood, a number of streets originally planned to provide access into and out of the
community are currently closed. The extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima
Road to Nicolas Road would add a roadway connection to an area where intersection levels of

Executive Summary
service are close to or worse than' LOS D. With Alternative 2, all other provisions of the General
Plan update would be implemented.
During preparation of the General Plan, the public expressed an interest to keep selected streets in
the Meadowview area closed to through traffic. The extension of North General Kearney Road
from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road was thus not included on the Circulation Element Roadway
Plan. Alternative 2 would add the extension of North General Kearney Road to the Roadway Plan;
this extension would improve the operating conditions of surrounding roadway segments and
intersections. Alternative 2 would not, however, achieve the project objective of creating a local
circulation system that meets the needs of T emecula residents and businesses while calming traffic
in the residential neighborhoods of the Meadowview area.
Alternative 2 has the potential to achieve a modest reduction in air pollutant emissions, but this
impact reduction cannot be reliably quantified or predicted. As such, comparable or increased
traffic and air quality impacts must be assumed. However, this alternative does achieve most
project objectives.
Alternative 3: 15 Percent Growth Reduction
This alternative was conceived as a means of reducing environmental impacts of the proposed
project by reducing development capacity within the Planning Area to levels comparable to
projections published by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).
T emecula has a 2004 total population of 77,460 persons" In the year 2025, SCAG projects a
population of 96,967 persons within Temecula's corporate boundaries] These forecasts do not
include areas within the sphere of influence or other unincorporated parts of the Planning Area.
The population growth rate between 2005 and 2025 estimated by SCAG is 2.9 percent per year for
Riverside County. Therefore, with this Alternative 3, the City would adopt the proposed General
Plan, but modifications would be made to the proposed Land Use Element and map and the
Circulation Element Roadway Plan such that net new residential development would be reduced by
15 percent citywide relative to the proposed project. This would result in a total population of
approximately 96,407 persons living in 31,141 housing units within the current City limits, and a
total of 143,806 persons living in 46,484 housing units within the Planning Area in the year 2025.
These figures are more comparable to the adopted SCAG 2025 forecasts for Temecula than the
proposed project. All other goals and policies of the proposed project would remain the same,
including the establishment of Mixed Use Overlay Areas, Rural Preservation Areas, and the French
Valley Future Growth Area, as well as the introduction of the Vineyards/Agriculture designation.
The ability of Alternative 3 to address significant unavoidable cumulative traffic and air quality
impacts is uncertain. Growth pressure in western Riverside County is strong; reduced development
in T emecula would likely lead to increased pressure for development north of the Planning Area,
which would use roadways and freeways traversing the City. This alternative would, however, result
in reduced environmental impacts relative to aesthetics, land use and planning, noise, population

The CEQA Guidelines Section 15355 define a cumulative impact as an "impact which is created as
a result of the combination of the project evaluated in the EIR together with other projects causing
related impacts." Implementation of T emecula General Plan will result in significant unavoidable
project-level impacts in the following areas: .
.
Implementation of mitigation measures and land use policies identified in Section 5.0 of this EIR will
reduce these impacts to the extent feasible. However, because Temecula lies within an air basin
that is a nonattainment area for State and federal air quality standards, increased emissions will
result in a significant impact on regional air quality. Implementation of the recommended
circulation system improvements in the Circulation Element will help reduce traffic impacts;
nonetheless, combined with the regional increase in traffic volumes, the project will result in a
significant impact. Future development will generate construction noise from individual
development projects that may affect adjoining uses in the short term. Increased traffic noise may
have significant impact to residences and schools near the freeways in the long term. While policies
included in the Draft General Plan will reduce these impacts to the extent possible, the residual
impacts will remain significant.

2.0 Introduction
This Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a first-tier evaluation of the environmental effects
associated with adoption and implementation of the updated City of T emecula General Plan. The
City began a comprehensive General Plan Update in 2001 and completed a public review draft
revision of the General Plan in 2004. The adoption and implementation of a General Plan
constitutes a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
State CEQA Guidelines.
legal Requirements
This EIR has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970
(Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.) and the Guidelines for Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines) published by the Public Resources Agency
of the State of California (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), and in
accordance with the City of Temecula's CEQA Guidelines. The City of Temecula is the lead agency
for this EIR, as defined in Section 21067 of CEQA.
This EIR was prepared by environmental planning consultants under contract to the City of
T emecula and under the direction of City staff. All information, analysis, and conclusions contained
in this document reflect the independent review and judgment of the City.
This EIR meets the content and analysis requirements of a Program EIR, as defined in Section 15168
of the State CEQA Guidelines. A Program EIR allows for review of a series of actions that can be
characterized as one large project, are related geographically, and as logical parts in the chain of
actions contemplated in connection with issuance of rules, regulations or plans. The Program EIR
allows for a more exhaustive consideration of the effects and alternatives than would be practical in
an EIR on separate individual actions and ensures consideration of cumulative impacts that might be
slighted on a case-by-case basis.
Purposes of the EIR
According to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, an "EIR
is an informational document which will inform public agencies, decision makers, and the public
generally of the significant environmental effects of a project on the environment, identify possible
ways to minimize the significant effects, and describe alternatives to the project."
This Program EIR provides a first tier analysis of the environmental effects of the Temecula General
Plan. Section 15152 of the CEQA Guidelines indicates that tiering is appropriate when the
sequence of analysis is from an EIR prepared for a general plan, policy or program to an EIR or
negative declaration for another plan, policy or program of lesser scope, or to a site specific EIR or
negative declaration. Subsequent activities related to the General Plan must be examined in light of
this Program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental analysis must be conducted and

Introduction
documentation prepared. If all of the subsequent project's potentially significant effects are
determined to have been adequately analyzed by this EIR, no additional analysis is required.
If a subsequent project or later activity would have effects that were not examined in this Program
EIR, or not examined at an appropriate level of detail to adequately evaluate impacts associated
with the later activity, an initial study would be required. Based on the initial study, the City may
reach anyone of the following conclusions regarding subsequent projects:
1) No significant impacts are identified and a negative declaration may be adopted (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15152);
2) Changes or additions are required, but the subsequent project is within the scope of the
project covered by this Program EJR and no substantial change leading to major revisions of
this Program EIR is required, thus an Addendum to this Program EIR may be adopted (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15164); or
3) Additional significant environmental effects could occur that were not adequately addressed
in this Program EIR, and a subsequent or supplemental EIR is required (CEQA Guidelines
Section's 15162 and 15163).
Accordingly, this Program EIR is an informational document to be used by decision makers, public
agencies, and the general public. It is not a policy document of the City of T emecula. The
document provides information regarding the potential environmental impacts related to
implementation of the General Plan. The EIR will be used by the City of T emecula to assess impacts
of the proposed project prior to adoption of the General Plan.
Scope of the Project
The project analyzed in this EIR is the adoption and implementation of the General Plan to guide
planning decisions in T emecula over a 20-year period. The General Plan is a comprehensive, long-
term guide for the physical development of the T emecula Planning Area, which consists of the
incorporated City, its sphere of influence, and other contiguous areas that bear direct economic
relationship to the City and its planning decisions. The Planning Area encompasses 31,286 acres,
with 14,805 acres within the City corporate limits and 16,481 acres within the sphere of influence
and the remainder of the Planning Area.

3.0 Project Description
The Project
The proposed project analyzed in this Program EIR is the adoption and implementation of the City
of Temecula General Plan update, referred to herein as the Draft General Plan, Plan, or project. The
General Plan update addresses the seven State mandated general plan elem'ents (land use, housing,
circulation, safety, open space, conservation, and noise), as well as other issues that are important
to the community, including growth management, economic development, air quality, and
community design. The Housing Element was recently updated in 2002 and thus has not been
updated as part of this project.
The updated General Plan establishes an overall development capacity for the City and surrounding
areas, and serves as a policy guide for determining the appropriate physical development and
character of the City for the next 20 years. The General Plan establishes a vision for the City that
emphasizes a family-focused lifestyle while promoting a strong local business community comprised
of agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries so that the community remains an
attractive and enjoyable place to live, work, and play.
Regional Setting
T emecula is located in southwestern Riverside County. The City is bordered by the unincorporated
De Luz area to the west, the City of Murrieta to the north, unincorporated County of Riverside land
to the east, and the Pechanga Indian Reservation, Bureau of Land Management lands, and
unincorporated portions of San Diego County to the south. Interstate 15 (1-15) bisects the western
portion of Temecula from north to south. State Route 79 (SR-79) North (Winchester Road) provides
regional access between Temecula and the HemetfSan Jacinto area. The two major east-west
roadways are SR-79 South and Rancho California Road. Figure 3-1 shows T emecula in a regional
context and outlines the Planning Area.
Temecula Planning Area
The Planning Area encompasses approximately 62 square miles (39,680 gross acres) and consists of
properties contained within the City's corporate limits and sphere of influence, as well as portions of
unincorporated Riverside County currently outside the City's sphere of influence. The present City
boundary encompasses approximately 28 square miles (17,955 gross acres). Twenty-four square
miles are within the sphere of influence and the remainder of the Planning Area.
The sphere of influence was established by the Riverside County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) to identify unincorporated areas that will most likely annex to the City of
T emecula in the future, on a project-by-project basis. The sphere of influence consists of open
space, undeveloped land, some residential development, vineyards/agricultural land, the French

Valley Airport, and the Pechanga Indian Reservation. The remainder of the Planning Area consists
primarily of undeveloped land and vineyards/agricultural land.
Purpose and Objectives of the General Plan
The General Plan establishes a comprehensive community vision for Temecula with regard to land
use, housing, circulation, safety, open space/conservation, noise, growth management, economic
development, and community design. The vision for the community is based on the following
principles:
. A family-focused lifestyle en;oyed by residents while promoting a strong local business
community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries.
. The community continues to be a regional destination for those seeking the desirable
atmosphere of the wineries and historic Old Town.
. A strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and cultural
amenities make Temecula a desirable place for higher education facilities to locate.
. The local circulation system meets the needs of Temecula residents and businesses
while calming traffic in residential neighborhoods and near schools. Within this
circulation system, pedestrians and cyclists are able to travel safely and quickly
throughout the community and appropriate pedestrian-oriented mixed commercial
and office uses are concentrated within village centers.
. Commercial, office, and light industrial uses locate and thrive in T emecula, providing
fiscal stability to the City and a revenue source to finance community improvements
and open space resources, including cultural art centers, community centers, and
parks.
. Diverse housing options are available to meet the needs of all segments of the
community while protecting the character and value of single-family neighborhoods.
. Nigh quality education is offered and children are provided strong role models and
training for a successful future.
. Properties are well maintained so the community remains an attractive and en;oyable
place to live, work, and play.
Based on these principles, long-term community goals and decision-making policies are defined
using text and maps within ten General Plan elements (or chapters). Each element also includes
implementation programs describing actions or strategies corresponding to adopted goals and
policies. The recommended implementation programs serve as the basis for future programming
decisions related to the assignment of staff and expenditure of City funds.

Project Characteristics
In terms of guiding physical development within the Planning Area, the General Plan elements of
most importance are the Land Use and Circulation Elements. Other sections of the General Plan
address open space/conservation, growth management, public safety, noise, air quality, community
design, economic development, and housing. The issues addressed in each subject area often
overlap. A general description of each subject area is provided below.
land Use Element
The Land Use Element describes the economic, social, physical, and cultural aspects of the
Temecula Planning Area. Determining the future. location, type, and intensity of new development
and reuse projects, and establishing the desired mix and relationship between such projects are the
primary objectives. Figure 3-2 depicts the proposed Land Use Policy Map. Table 3-1 compares the
development capacity resulting from long-term implementation of General Plan policy to existing
(2002) land use conditions_
The Land Use Element establishes land use designations to identify the types and nature of
development permitted throughout the Planning Area, providing a mix of land uses to achieve a
suitable inventory of housing for a range of income groups, a viable commercial and employment
base for residents and surrounding communities, ample open space and recreational opportunities,
adequate public facilities and services, and high-quality urban, suburban and rural lifestyles for
residents and visitors to enjoy.
The residential land use designations are:
. HR - Hillside Residential (0 - 0.1 dwelling units/acre)
. RR - Rural Residential (0 - 0.2 dwelling units/acre)
. VL - Very Low Density Residential (0.2 - 0.4 dwelling units/acre)
. L - Low Density Residential (0.5 - 2.9 dwelling units/acre)
. LM - Low Medium Density Residential (3 - 6.9 dwelling units/acre)
. M - Medium Density Residential (7 - 12.9 dwelling units/acre)
. H - High Density Residential (13 - 20 dwelling units/acre)
Commercial and industrial designations include the following, with intensity of development
allowed within each designation expressed as a range of floor-area ratios, or FARs:
. NC - Neighborhood Commercial (0.20 - 0.40 FAR)
. CC - Community Commercial (0.25 - 1.0 FAR)
. HT - Highway/Tourist Commercial (0.25 - 1.0 FAR)
. SC - Service Commercial (0.25 - 1_5 FAR)
. PO - Professional Office (0.30 - 1.0 FAR)
. 1P - Industrial Park (0.30 - 1.5 FAR)

resulting in just over 75.4 million square feet of nonresidential development within the Planning
Area. The General Plan has been designed to manage the pace and direct the location of future
development using goals, policies, and implementation programs that ensure preservation of a high
quality of life as the City faces increased growth pressures.
The Land Use Element addresses infill residential and commercial development within the City
through the designation of three Mixed Use Overlay Areas. These areas are located within the
City's Redevelopment Project Area and generally surround the 1-15 corridor. These overlay areas
provide for development with a mix of residential and non residential uses guided by underlying
land use designations. Each Mixed Use Overlay Area has different density and intensity standards,
responding directly to the available capacity of the surrounding roadway network, defined using a
daily trip cap applicable to each area. Within the daily trip cap, flexible, high-quality design and
creative mixes of adjacent uses are encouraged.
Rural areas are addressed in the Land Use Element through the designation of three Rural
Preservation Areas, with the following specific goals for each area:
. Nicolas Valley: Promote continued development of large lot, Very Low Density Residential
units, provision of rural infrastructure services, and conservation of open space surrounding
Santa Gertrudis Creek.
. T emecu/a Wine Country: Recognize the important role that wineries and agriculture play in
the history and future success of T emecula by designating a large portion of the area
Vineyards/Agriculture, and promote only Rural and Very Low Density Residential
development that is compatible with these uses.
. South Anza Road at SR-79: Preserve rural residential densities in the area surrounding the
Morgan Hill Specific Plan by promoting only Rural Residential development, supplemented
by open space buffers and greenways defining the urban edge of T emecula.
Land Use Element policy also establishes a French Valley Future Growth Area, located north of the
current City boundary. Within this area, the City will adopt a land use plan (shown in Figure 3-2,
Land Use Policy Map) to direct development in the area in order to improve traffic conditions
within the City, avoid developing more land than necessary at urban densities, and meet
infrastructure needs.
Circulation Element
The Circulation Element describes how Temecula residents and employees get around using
automobiles, public transit, bicycles, airplanes, sidewalks and trails, and railways. The City strives to
reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on roadways, to provide useful travel alternatives to
the automobile, and to provide better access to regional travel routes.
A well-developed system of local roadways provides access to and circulation within many
residential areas of the City, and substantial efforts have been made in recent years to improve
traffic conditions on local roadways and to encourage alternative means of travel. However,
Ternecula needs better roadway circulation between residential areas and commercial/employment

centers and more efficient connections to regional transportation routes. Pass-through traffic
accessing these regional routes from unincorporated areas is also a significant concern. The
Circulation Element policies and plans aim to ensure that current transportation facilities will be
improved and new facilities constructed to adequately serve traffic generated by planned
development.
The proposed Roadway Plan established within the Circulation Element is illustrated in Figure 3-3.
Future roadways have been designed to provide adequate capacity to accommodate travel needs
resulting from development pursuant to the Land Use Element within the T emecula Planning Area,
as well as attempting to anticipate future development in the County of Riverside and the City of
Murrieta. The Circulation Element establishes eight types of roadways, ranging from eight-lane high-
capacity divided roadways to two-lane undivided roadways. The classifications are:
. Urban Arterial (8-10 lanes divided within 134' right-of-way)
. Principal Arterial (6 lanes divided within 110' right-of-way)
. Major Arterial (4 lanes divided within 100' right-of-way)
. Secondary Arterial (4 lanes undivided within 88' right-of-way)
. Modified Secondary Arterial (4 lanes separated within 88' right-of-way, no curb and gutter)
. Limited Secondary Arterial (2 lanes divided with turn lanes where needed within 88' right-of-
way)
. Collector (2 lanes undivided within 66' right-of-way in residential areas, within 78' right-of-
way in industrial areas)
. Rural Highway (2 lanes undivided within 88-150' right-of-way)
Improvements needed to upgrade Temecula's roadways to achieve the Roadway Plan are detailed
in the Traffic and Circulation Report for this EIR (Appendix B) and summarized in Section 5.13,
Traffic and Circulation of this EIR. These improvements will be programmed within the City's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
The extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road as a Limited
Secondary Arterial is not part of the project. The roadway extension is an issue of concern to many
within the community who feel it may lead to additional vehicle trips, noise, and loss of open space
within established low- and low-medium density residential neighborhoods. Thus, the extension of
North General Kearney Road is discussed as an alternative to the proposed project in Section 6.0 of
the EIR.

Project Description
The Circulation Element also establishes guidelines to determine the required number of lanes at
intersections, includes policies requiri~g the City to identify and monitor the performance of critical
intersections over time, and sets performance 'criteria for intersections and freeway ramps within the
Planning Area.
In addition to meeting the need for a roadway system, the goals, policies, and programs in the
Circulation Element emphasize the need for alternative modes of transportation. The Element
establishes the foundation for the Citywide Multi.Use Trail and Bikeway system, offering both
recreational and commuting opportunities to City residents, and identifies public transit facilities and
. services in T emecula.
Housing Element
The City's Housing Element was updated in 2002. The City adopted a Negative Declaration for the
Housing Element Therefore, no update to this Element is included in this update program.
Open Space/Conservation Element
The Open Space/Conservation Element contains goals, policies and implementation programs that
encourage conservation and management. of natural resources, including biological/ecological
resources, water resources, energy resources, agricultural resources, and open space. The Element
also ensures the provision of parks and recreation opportunities and preservation of the City's
historic and cultural heritage. The purposes of the Open Space/Conservation Element are to:
.
Assure continued availability of predominantly open land for enjoyment of scenic
beauty, for recreation, and to conserve natural resources and agriculture
Guide development in order to make wise and prudent use of natural,
environmental, and cultural resources
Maintain and enhance valuable natural resource areas necessary for the continued
survival of significant wildlife and vegetation through proactive open space planning;
Provide the foundation for a comprehensive open space management system
involving designated categories of open space
Maintain and promote the cultural, historic, and archaeological heritage of T emecula
.
.
.
.
The Open Space/Conservation Element overlaps with provisions found in the land Use, Public
Safety, and Growth Management/Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan. However, it differs
by being almost exclusively oriented toward natural resources. The conservation component
contains goals and policies that further the protection and maintenance of the State's resources
within the Temecula Planning Area. These resources include water, soils, wildlife, minerals, and
other natural resources that should be considered to prevent wasteful exploitation, degradation, and
destruction. The Open Space/Conservation Element also incorporates goals and policies related to
parks and recreation. This section of the Element focuses on the relationship of park space to the
entire T emecula open space system and on the dedication and provision of parkland, trails, and
recreation facilities.

Projecl Description
Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
The purpose of the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element is to promote orderly growth and
development based on the City's ability to provide adequate public facilities and services. This
Element sets forth policies and standards to ensure that future development is coordinated with
public facilities and services at desired levels of service. Other aspects of growth management are
found within the Land Use, Circulation, Air Quality and other elements. Taken together, these
sections will influence growth and development within the City and surrounding areas to achieve
the quality of life embodied in the Plan. The growth management component of this Element
addresses local and regional growth management issues, including compliance with State laws
affecting growth in T emecula. The public facilities component addresses both infrastructure and
public services. Infrastructure includes sewer, water, storm drain systems, as well as public facilities.
Public services include police, fire, emergency medical, public schools, solid and hazardous waste
disposal, and civic and cultural facilities.
Public Safety Element
The Public Safety Element identifies and addresses natural features, characteristics and human
activities in or near T emecula that represent potential hazards to residents, structures, public
facilities, and infrastructure. The Public Safety Element establishes policies to minimize potential
danger to persons and property, establishes programs to regulate development in hazard-prone
areas, and identifies actions to manage emergency situations. Potential natural hazards addressed
in the Element include geologic instability, seismic events, wild land fires, flooding, and dam failures.
Potential human-caused hazards addressed in the Element include hazardous materials and waste
handling, nuclear power production (at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station located 25 miles
west of the Planning Area), and criminal activity.
Noise Element
The City strives to reduce the impacts of noise through a combination of land use planning, site
criteria, and noise reduction and enforcement strategies. The policies and programs provided in the
Noise Element are designed to protect the quality of life within residential neighborhoods and to
protect sensitive areas like schools and hospitals from the persistent hazards of excessive noise.
Potential noise sources are identified and programs established to avoid or mitigate noise impacts
associated with community development. Future noise conditions associated with both short- and
long-term growth are quantified and identified within noise exposure contours. The contours serve
as the basis for developing guidelines to identify compatible land uses
Air Qualify Element
The Air Quality Element establishes a policy foundation to implement local air quality improvement
measures and provides a framework for coordination of air quality planning efforts with surrounding
jurisdictions. The City has important roles and commitments to the implementation of the regional
Air Quality Management Plan and Sub-Regional Air Quality Implementation Program. Continued
efforts to provide regional public transit and high speed rail systems in the area will also lead to
reductions in vehicle trips and improved air quality. The Air Quality Element outlines the City's plan
to improve the quality of Temecula's air for the health and benefit of all residents.

Relationship to Local and Regional Plans
Temecula Development Code
The Development Code (Title 17 of the Municipal Code) regulates development intensity using a
variety of tools such as building height limits, minimum setbacks, and specific design standards. The
is a significant implementation tool for the General Plan. Following adoption of the. General Plan
Update, both the zoning map and Title 17 will be revised to implement the changes to the General
Plan.
Temecula Redevelopment Plan
Prior to Temecula's incorporation in 1989, the County of Riverside established a Redevelopment
Project Area. After incorporation, the City of T emecula assumed responsibility for administering the
Project Area. The Redevelopment Plan Area centers on the Interstate 15 corridor and includes
Promenade Mall, Old Town, and industrial and business park areas west of 1-15 between
Winchester and Rancho California Roads. The Temecula Redevelopment Agency has prepared an

French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and operated by the County of Riverside.
The airport occupies approximately 261 acres east of Winchester Road and is located five miles
north of Temecula's city center and one and one-quarter mile northwest of the City limits within the
sphere of influence.
French Valley Airport is one of 16 airports in Riverside County governed by the Riverside County
Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). In November 2004, the ALUC adopted the Riverside
County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy Document, which establishes policies
applicable to land use compatibility planning in the vicinity of airports throughout Riverside County,
including compatibility criteria and maps for the influence areas of individual airports. The ALUCP

also establishes procedural requirements for compatibility review of development proposals. The
basic function of airport land use compatibility plans is to promote compatibility between airports
and the land uses that surround them. Compatibility plans serve as a tool for airport land use
commissions in reviewing proposed development plans for airports and surrounding land uses.
Additionally, compatibility plans establish criteria for local agencies to use when preparing or
amending land use plans and ordinances and for landowners (including special district and other
local government entities as well as private parties) to use when designing new development
projects.
State law requires each local agency having jurisdiction over land uses within an ALUCs planning
area to modify its general plan and any affected specific plans to be consistent with the
compatibility plan, or to overrule the ALUC by a two-thirds vote of its governing body after making
findings that the agency's plans are consistent with the intent of State airport land use planning
statutes.
Southwest Area Plan
The Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) is part of the Riverside County Integrated Program (RCIP) and
provides land use goals and policies which serve as the County's General Plan for unincorporated
portions of the Temecula Planning Area. Temecula's General Plan expands on the SWAP goals and
policies for these areas to establish a more comprehensive policy framework favorable to the long-
range growth and development of the City.
Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP)/Community and
Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP)
Western Riverside County is projected to grow from a current population of about 1.2 million to 2
million in 2020. In an effort to improve the quality of life for current and future residents, the
County of Riverside, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, together with Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTe) and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
embarked on a planning process to determine future placement of buildings, roads and open
spaces within the County. This process was named the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP)
and resulted in three interrelated plans: a General Plan for land use and housing, a Multiple Species
Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) to determine open spaces and conservation areas, and the
Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP), which identifies
improvements for highways and transit systems. The integration of these distinct planning efforts
will improve their ultimate effectiveness.
The main goals of CET AP are to: 1) identify and set aside areas for major transportation facilities; 2)
ensure that transportation infrastructure will be in place to foster the economic development of
Riverside County; and 3) provide access to schools, jobs, shopping and other daily activities. A
major focus of the CET AP is to identify the location for the Winchester to T emecula Corridor, which
will involve widening of the 1-15 and 1-215, as well as construction of French Valley Parkway,
connecting the French Valley Future Growth Area to 1-21 S and providing an alternate freeway
access point to Winchester Road. Other goals include providing expanded rail service and express
bus service throughout Riverside County. Decisions reached through the CET AP will affect
transportation facilities and opportunities within T emecula.

Project Description
SCAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a multi-modal, long-range planning document prepared by
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The RTP includes programs and
policies for congestion management, transit, bicycles and pedestrians, roadways, freight, and
finances. The RTP is prepared every three years and addresses a 20-year projection of needs.
Each agency responsible for transportation, including the City of T emecula, has implementation
responsibilities under the RTP. The RTP relies on local plans and policies governing circulation and
transportation to identify the region's future multi-modal transportation system.
Riverside County Congestion Management Program
Urbanized areas such as Riverside County are required to adopt a Congestion Management
Program (CMP). The Riverside County Congestion Management Program (CMP) is updated every
two years, in accordance with Proposition 111. The goals of the CMP are to reduce traffic
congestion, to improve air quality, and to provide a mechanism for coordinating land use
development and transportation improvement decisions. The Congestion Management Program is
administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTe).
In 1997, RCTC significantly modified the original CMP to focus on meeting federal Congestion
Management System (CMS) guidelines. This has led to the development of an Enhanced Traffic
Monitoring System in which real-time traffic count data can be accessed by RCTC to evaluate the
condition of the CMS, as well as meet other monitoring requirements at the state and federal levels.
South Coast Air Quality Management Plan
The South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) mandates a variety of measures to reduce
traffic congestion and improve air quality. The Circulation Element identifies Circulation Programs
to be implemented in Temecula that may help improve regional air quality. The plan for the South
Coast Air Basin, which includes T emecula and western Riverside County, was prepared by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and SCAG.
Intended Uses of the Program EIR
This Program EIR serves as the basis for environmental review and impact mitigation for adoption
and implementation of the Temecula General Plan. The City will review subsequent projects for
consistency with the Program EIR and prepare appropriate environmental documentation pursuant
to CEQA provisions for Program EIRs and subsequent projects. Subsequent projects under the
Program EIR may include (but are not limited to) the following activities:

4.0 Environmental Setting
This seCtion provides an .overview of the regional and environmental setting of the T emecula
Planning Area. Detailed descriptions of the environmental setting for each category of potential
impact are included in the environmental impact analysis in Section 5.0.
The Temecula Valley is located in southwest Riverside.County below the eastern slope of the Santa
Rosa Plateau. It is approximately 85 miles southeast of Los Angeles, 60 miles northeast of San
Diego and 20 miles inland frorn the cities of San Juan Capistrano and Oceanside. The City of
T emecula is situated at the southern end of the valley, just north of the San Diego County line. The
City is bordered by the unincorporated De Luz area to the west, the City of Murrieta to the north,
unincorporated County of Riverside land to the east, and the Pechanga Indian Reservation, Bureau
of Land Management lands, and unincorporated portions of San Diego County to the south.
Interstate 15 (1-15) bisects the western portion of Temecula from north to south. State Route 79
(SR-79) North (Winchester Road) provides regional access between Temecula and the HernetjSan
Jacinto area. The two major east-west roadways are SR-79 South and Rancho California Road.
Temecula's incorporated area, which encompasses 17,955 gross acres (28 square miles), consists of
residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Single-family residential neighborhoods, comprising
approxirnately 31 percent of Temecula's land area, make up a significant portion of the City. The
areas in the center and in the eastern portions of T emecula are primarily residential. Densities range
from very low to low/medium, with low/medium densities making up the highest percentage of
residential housing units (65 percent). Several pockets of medium and high density residential areas
are located near the center of the City. The Nicolas Valley area, along with the residential
development east of 1-1 5 and south of Santiago Road, consists of larger-lot, lower-density residential
uses mixed with vacant parcels. Commercial and industrial development covers about ten percent
of the land area in T emecula. The largest commercial areas in the City are located adjacent to the
two 1-15/SR-79 junctions. Industrial parks and buildings are concentrated at the west end of the
City.
The unincorporated portions of the Planning Area, comprising 16,480 acres (26 square miles), are
more rural and agricultural in character. The large area west of Anza Road and east of the current
City boundary includes many of the major wineries in the Temecula Valley. Approxirnately 13
percent of the unincorporated Planning Area is devoted to vineyards and agriculture. More than
half (51 percent) of the unincorporated Planning Area consists of vacant land and open space.
The Temecula Valley enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with year-round temperatures averaging
in the mid-70s (F). Summer temperatures, which can average in the mid-80 degrees or the mid 90s
during the day, are often cooled by afternoon ocean breezes blowing into the valley through gaps
in the Santa Ana foothills to the west. Although separated from the Pacific Ocean by the Santa
Rosa mountain range, the Rainbow Gap funnels the mild beach climate into the valley. Mild
wintertime temperatures average in the mid-60s. Yearly average rainfall in T emecula is
approximately 14 inches, as reported by the Rancho California Water District.

Environmental Selling
The quality of air in the Temecula Valley is consistently better than that of surrounding communities.
Ocean breezes flow through the Rainbow Gap almost every day, sweeping away smog. In the
summer, Pacific winds yield temperatures up to ten degrees lower than in towns just a few miles
away.
Biological diversity in the region is great, with 13 vegetation commUnities located in Temecula.
Native vegetation communities include Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub, Riversidian Sage Scrub,
Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, Disturbed Alluvial Chaparral, Vernal Pool, Southern
Cottonwood-willow Riparian, Southern Sycamore-alder Riparian Woodland, Riparian Scrub, Mule
Fat Scrub, Southern Willow Scrub, and Oak woodland.
The Rancho California Water District and Eastern Municipal Water District supply water to the City.
A portion of the water is drawn from the Murrieta-Temecula groundwater basin and from wells in
Hemet and San Jacinto. The remainder of the water supply consists of imported water delivered by
the Metropolitan Water District.
The City presently contracts for solid waste disposal. Waste is transported to the EI Sobrante and
Badlands Landfills, located in unincorporated Riverside County. T emecula offers recycling and
composting waste services. Recyclable and compost materials are source separated from household
trash. Household waste is transported to a processing center in the Orange County city of Stanton,
and commercial/industrial waste is transported to a processing center in Perris.
Regional flood control facilities, including major channels and storm drains, are under the jurisdiction of
the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.
Motor vehicles in Temecula are the dominant source of continuous noise. Interstate 15, SR-79,
Rancho California Road, Jefferson Avenue/Front Street, and Winchester Road carry appreciable
volumes of commuter traffic. The French Valley Airport also contributes to community noise levels.
Temecula is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), which includes all of Orange County
and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Both the
federal and State governments have set health based ambient air quality standards for six pollutants:
sulfur dioxide, lead, carbon monoxide, fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. The
basin fails to rneet air quality standards for two of the six pollutants: ozone and fine particulate
matter.
Existing land uses generate approximately 711,000 vehicle trips per day. Approximately 39 percent
of existing vehicle trips is attributed to residential land uses, with the remaining 61 percent to non-
residential uses. With the exception of Jefferson Avenue and Winchester Road (Level of Service, or
LOS E at PM Peak Hour), Nicolas Road and Winchester Road (LOS E at AM Peak Hour), and Old
Town Front Street and Rancho California Road (LOS E at PM Peak Hour), intersections within the
Planning Area operate at a LOS D or better. With the exception of the northbound on-ramp at SR-
79 South, and the southbound off-ramps at Winchester Road and Rancho California Road, all 1-15
freeway ramps within the Planning Area operate at a LOS E or better.

5.0 Environmental Impacts and
Mitigation Measures
This section of the EIR examines potentially significant effects associated with adoption and
implementation of the General Plan update, including any subsequent amendments to Title 17
(Zoning) of the Municipal Code, and identifies mitigation measures to reduce impacts found to be
potentially significant in the EIR analysis. Each environmental issue for which the Initial Study (see
Appendix A) identified a potentially significant impact is discussed in the following manner:
Environmental Selling describes the existing environmental conditions in the City in baseline year
2002 to provide a foundation for comparing "before the project" and "after the project"
environmental conditions.
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact defines and lists specific criteria used to determine
whether an impact is considered to be potentially significant. Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines;
local, State, federal or other standards applicable to that impact area; and officially established
thresholds of significance are the major sources used in crafting criteria appropriate to the specifics
of a project, since "... an ironclad definition of significant effect is not always possible because the
significance of an activity may vary with the setting" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064 [b]).
Principally, ". .. a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical
conditions within an area affected by the project, including land, air, water, flora, fauna, ambient
noise, and objects of historic and aesthetic significance" constitutes a significant impact (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15382).
Environmental Impact presents evidence, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual
data, about the cause and effect relationship between the project and the potential changes in the
environment. The exact magnitude, duration, extent, frequency, range, or other parameters of a
potential impact are ascertained to the extent possible to provide facts in support of finding the
impact to be or not to be significant. In determining whether impacts may be significant, all the
potential effects, including direct effects, reasonably foreseeable indirect effects, and considerable
contributions to cumulative effects, are considered. If, after thorough investigation, a particular
impact is too speculative for evaluation, that conclusion is noted (CEQA Guidelines Section 15145).
Such may be the case for a number of issue areas given that the project is a 20-year plan, and
inherent uncertainties arise in predicting land use activities so far in the future. The Plan was
prepared through a process which considered possible environmental impacts, allowing mitigation
to be addressed by Plan policies. When a specific feature of the General Plan, whether it be a
policy, standard, or guideline, avoids or reduces an environmental impact, that feature is identified.
Mitigation Measures identify mitigation measures that can reduce or avoid the potentially
significant impact in cases where the EIR analysis determines impacts to be potentially significant.
Standard existing regulations, requirements, and procedures that are applied to all similar projects
are taken into account in identifying what additional project-specific mitigation may be needed to
reduce significant impacts. Mitigation, in addition to measures that the lead agency will implement,

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
GENERAL PIAN UPDATE

Environmentallmpacrs and Mitigation Measures
can also include measures that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public
agency (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 [a][2)).
level of Impact after Mitigation indicates what effects will remain after application of mitigation
measures, and whether the remaining effects are considered significant. When these impacts, even
with the inclusion of mitigation measures, cannot be mitigated to a level considered less than
significant, th'ey are identified as "unavoidable significant impacts." In order to approve a project
with significant unavoidable impacts, the lead agency must adopt a Statement of Overriding
Considerations. In adopting such a statement, the lead agency finds that it has reviewed the EIR,
has balanced the benefits of the project against its significant effects, and has concluded that the
benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, and thus, the
adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15093
[a]).
Potentially significant impacts to the issue area Mandatory Findings of Significance (see Initial Study)
are addressed generally throughout this section of the EIR, or specifically in Section 7.0, Analysis of
Long-Term Effects, of this EIR.

5. 1 Aesthetics
This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will create new sources of light
and glare and if so, how such light sources may affect uses within the Planning Area and regional
facilities such as the Palomar Observatory. As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the
project will result in a less than significant impact on scenic resources and visual character.
Environmental Setting
The natural features of the T emecula Planning Area provide a scenic setting for the community.
Topographic features include western escarpment and southern ridgelines, hillsides in the northern
area, and water features including Murrieta and Temecula Creeks and the Santa Margarita River.
While the City itself contains large residential areas, surrounding areas are more rural and
agricultural in nature. Many golf courses throughout the area and the wineries located in the
easternmost part of the Planning Area contribute to the atmosphere of a resort community.
Much of Temecula is comprised of urbanized areas developed primarily with low-density residential
development. Densities range from very low to low/medium, with low/medium densities making
up the highest percentage of existing housing units (65 percent). Several pockets of apartment and
townhouse residential areas are located near the center of the City. The Nicolas Valley area and
residential east of 1-15 and south of Santiago Road consist of large lot, lower density residential uses.
Temecula's largest commercial areas are located adjacent to the two 1-15/SR-79 junctions. The 1-15/
SR-79 junction at Winchester Road, Jefferson Avenue south of Winchester Road, and the area
surrounding the Rancho California/Ynez Rd intersection contain the major commercial areas.
Industrial parks and buildings are concentrated at the western end of the City. This includes a mix
of industrial buildings and vacant land. The area along Jefferson Avenue south of Winchester Road
consists of an aging mixed retail, service, and industrial corridor characterized primarily by auto-
oriented services.
A large portion of the Planning Area is either vacant or devoted to open space and agricultural uses.
Vacant land is most predominant near the City boundary and among new residential developments.
Thus, nighttime lighting is concentrated in the center of the City.
Limited sources of artificial light in the Temecula Valley is one of the reasons the California Institute
of Technology chose in 1934 to locate the Palomar Observatory in the mountains south of
T emecula. The dark skies around Palomar Mountain make it possible to observe distant galaxies
without the interference of urban lights. Generally, observatory sites need to be located 30 to 40
miles from large lighted areas so that the nighttime sky will not be brightened.' Figure 5.1-1 shows
the location of the Planning Area in relation to the Palomar Observatory.

Aes/helics
In support of the Palomar Observatory, the City adopted Riverside County's Outdoor Lighting
Regulations, which restrict nighttime lighting for areas within a 15-mile radius and a 45-mile radius of
the facility.' As shown in Figure 5.1-1, the majority of the Planning Area is located within the 45-
mile radius (Zone B), and southeastern portions of the Planning Area lie within a 15-mile radius of
the Observatory. Those areas within 15 miles of the Observatory (Zone A) are subject to stringent
lighting controls and limitation of uses that may generate significant amounts of light and glare. The
use of most types of outdoor lighting is prohibited after 11 :00 P.M., and outdoor lighting must be
shielded and focused on the objectto be illuminated. The ordinance also establishes the type of
lighting that may be used in Zones A and B, such as low pressure sodium lighting. The ordinance
provides exemptions for holiday decorative lights, nonconforming uses, and light directly related to
the combustion of fossil fuels.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact if it will create a new source of
light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.
Environmental Impact
Light levels within the Planning Area will increase as new housing units and commercial, industrial
and institutional projects are developed pursuant to the General Plan. In addition, new
development in previously undeveloped or sparsely developed areas, particularly within the sphere
of influence, has the potential to create new lighting impacts associated with the introduction of
vehicle headlights and nighttime lighting. New structures could create glare effects if they
incorporate reflective building materials. Depending upon the location and scope of individual
development projects, the impact to surrounding uses could be significant, and a mitigation
measure is required.
The General Plan acknowledges the importance of the Palomar Observatory through policies that
continue the City's participation in Palomar Observatory's dark sky conservation requirements. The
General Plan policies also state that the City will work with the County of Riverside and California
Institute of Technology to ensure preservation procedures for dark skies are implemented within the
City's development review process. Nevertheless, if future development pursuant to the General
Plan increases the amount of nighttime lighting in the Planning Area, effectiveness of Palomar
Observatory may be reduced. Therefore, a mitigation measure has been included to reduce the
impact of light and glare from new development pursuant to the General Plan to a less than
significant level.

5.2 Agricultural Resources
I
I
This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will result in the conversion of
farmland to non agricultural use. As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the project will
result in a less than significant impact with regard to Williamson Act contract lands, as there are no
Williamson Act contracts in the Planning Area.
I
I
Environmental Setting
I
Agriculture and related activities form a large portion of Riverside County's economic base.
Currently, Riverside County ranks ninth in California in terms of agricultural production. The County
is divided into four agricultural districts: Coach ell a Valley, Palo Verde Valley, Riverside/Corona, and
San )acintojT emecula.'
I
In 1982, the California Department of Conservation enacted the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program (FMMP) database in response to a critical need to assess the location, quality, and quantity
of agricultural lands and conversion of these lands over time. FMMP is a non-regulatory program
and provides a consistent and impartial analysis of agricultural land use and land use changes
throughout California. Through the FMMP, agricultural resources are separated into the following
categories'
I
I
I
Prime Farmland: Prime Farmland is land which has the best combination of physical and chemical
characteristics for the production of crops. It has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture
supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including
water management, according to current farming methods.
I
Farmland of Statewide Importance: Farmland of Statewide Importance is land other than Prime
Farmland which has a good combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production
of crops. It must have been used for the production of irrigated crops at some time during the two
update cycles prior to the mapping date. It does not include publicly owned lands for which there
is an adopted policy preventing agricultural use.
I
I
Unique Farmland: Unique Farmland is land which does not meet the criteria for Prime Farmland or
Farmland of Statewide Importance, that has been used for the production of specific high economic
value crops at some time during the two update cycles prior to the mapping date. It has the special
combination of soil quality, location, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce
sustained high quality and/or high yields of a specific crop when treated and managed according to
current farming methods.

Agricultural Resources
Farmland of local Importance: Farmland of local Importance is either currently producing crops,
has the capability of production, or is used for the production of confined livestock. Farmland of
Local Importance is land other than Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance or Unique
Farmland. This land may be important to the local economy due to its productivity or value. It does
not include publicly owned lands for which there is an adopted policy preventing agricultural use. In
a few counties the local advisory committee has elected to additionally define areas of Local
Potential (LP) farmland. This land includes soils which qualify for Prime Farmland or Farmland of
Statewide Importance, but generally are not cultivated or irrigated.
Grazing land: Grazing Land is defined in California Government Code Section 65570(b)(3) as
"...Iand on which the existing vegetation, whether grown naturally or through management, is
suitable for grazing or browsing of livestock."
Urban growth pressures in Riverside County in recent decades have resulted in the conversion of
farmland to urban uses. Table 5.2-1 summarizes the changes in agricultural land in Riverside
County between 2000 and 2002. Riverside County had 13,166 fewer acres of farmland in 2002
than in 2000. Most of this loss was due to urbanization.

Much of the land designated for agricultural purposes in Temecula has already been developed or
entitled prior to the City's incorporation. Figure 5.2-1 shows the location of agricultural resources in
the Planning Area as of 2002. Only small portions of significant farmland remain in T emecula.
Approximately 1,500 acres of Prime Farmland and some small areas designated as Unique Farmland
are located in the southern and eastern portions of the Planning Area and in the western hillsides
within the City. Farmland of Local Importance is mostly located in the northern part of the sphere
of influence in the French Valley area, although small parcels are located within the City. Table 5.2-
2 sumrnarizes the amount of significant farmland in T emecula. T emecula had a total of 12,693
acres of significant farmland as of 2002, the most recent year for which complete data are available.

Currently, 18 wineries are located in and adjacent to the eastern portion of the Planning Area, also
known as Temecula Valley. These wineries constitute the most important wine-making region in
Southern California and make important contributions to the City in terms of trade, tourism, and the
aesthetic character of the area. The General Plan land Use Element includes a new
Vineyards/Agriculture land use designation to identify areas east of the City which are used as
vineyards, or as citrus and avocado groves, and to protect them from residential development
pressures. Vineyard/Agriculture areas are shown in Figure 3.2 Land Use Policy Map (page 3-5 of
Section 3.0, Project Description). Currently 2,223 acres of Vineyard/Agricultural land exist within
the Planning Area. As shown in Figure 5.2-1, the Vineyard/Agricultural designation includes some
of the prime farmland and unique farmland within Temecula.
Thresholds Use to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact on agricultural resources will occur if the project will:
. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-
agricultural use, or
. Involve other changes in the existing environment that, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
to non-agricultural use.
Environmental Impact
The updated General Plan continues to recognize agricultural uses as important historic uses within
the Planning Area and allows the continuation of agricultural businesses that wish to operate in the
short-term or indefinitely. For example, Policy 7.4 discourages urban development in agricultural
areas outside built-up areas of the City. The General Plan also calls for evaluating scenic or resource
conservation easements as suitable means for protecting prime farmland located adjacent to
residential areas and where the property does not qualify for inclusion in an agriculture preserve
program. The General Plan creates three agricultural preservation areas in which community
members have expressed a desire to keep these areas rural; rural preservation areas listed in the

Agricultural Resources
General Plan are: Nicolas Valley, East Rancho California, and Anza Road @ SR-79. In these areas,
the City will encourage developers to provide open space or landscaped buffers between rural
residential and agricultural areas and will limit the number and size of accessory structures on large
lots to enhance the rural character of these areas.
Future development within the Planning Area pursuant to the land use policies of the updated
General Plan may result in the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of
State and Local Importance to non-agricultural use. Of the areas currently identified as
Vineyard/Agriculture, approximately four acres may be converted to Rural Residential uses as a
result of adoption and implementation of the draft General Plan. This is approximately 0.01 percent
(one one-hundredth of one percent) of the land currently in agricultural use. Impact will be less
than significant with implementation of the following mitigation measure.
Mitigation Measures
AG-l. The City will preserve agricultural lands by:
. Developing effective zoning regulations or other land use mechanisms that control the
expansion of intensive non-agricultural development onto productive or potentially
productive agricultural lands.
. Recognizing existing agriculture preserve contracts and promoting additional preservation
contracts for prime agriculture land.
(General Plan Implementation Program 05-28)

5.3 Air Quality
This section examines the potential for implementation of the General Plan to violate any air quality
standard, result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant, or expose
sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Through the Initial Study process, issues
regarding potential conflicts with the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan and creating
objectionable odors were found to have a less than significant impact. Air quality worksheets are
included in Appendix B of this EJR.
Environmental Setting
Temecula lies within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), as shown in Figure 5.3-1. The Basin is a
6,600-square-miJe area bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the San Gabriel, San
Bernardino, and San Jacinto mountains on the north and east. The Basin includes the non-desert
portions of Riverside, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties and all of Orange County. Within
the Basin, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the regional agency
responsible for air quality monitoring and stationary source control.
The topography and climate of Southern Califomia combine to create an area of high air pollution
potential in the Basin. During the summer months, a warm air mass frequently descends over the
cool, moist marine layer produced by the interaction between the ocean's surface and the lowest
layer of the atmosphere. The warm upper layer forms a cup over the cool marine layer, which
prevents pollution from dispersing upward. This inversion allows pollutants to accumulate within
the lower layer. Light winds during the summer further limit ventilation from occurring.
Due to the low average wind speeds in the summer and a persistent daytime temperature inversion,
emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen have an opportunity to combine with sunlight in
a complex series of reactions. These reactions produce a photochemical oxidant commonly known
as "smog." Since the Basin experiences more days of sunlight than any other major urban area in
the United States, except Phoenix, the smog potential in the region is higher than in most other
major metropolitan areas in the country.
Climate and Meteorology
The climate in and around T emecula, as well as most of Southern California, is controlled largely by
the strength and position of the subtropical high-pressure cell over the Pacific Ocean. This high-
pressure cell produces a typical Mediterranean climate with warm summers, mild winters, and
moderate rainfall. This pattern is infrequently interrupted by periods of extremely hot weather
brought in by Santa Ana winds. Almost all precipitation occurs between November and April,
although during these months, it is sunny or partly sunny a majority of the time. Cyclic land and sea
breezes are the primary factors affecting the region's mild climate. The daytime winds are normally
sea breezes, predominantly from the west, that flow at relatively low velocities. Within the Lake
Elsinore Convergence Zone, located north of T emecula and south of Lake Elsinore, coastal winds
often block air pollutants originating from the rest of the Basin from entering the Temecula Valley.

Air Quality
Air Pollution Control Effects
Both the federal and State governments have set health-based ambient air quality standards for the
following 6 pollutants:
. Sulfur dioxide (SO,)
. Lead (Pb)
. Carbon monoxide (CO)
. Fine particulate matter (PMlO)
. Oxides of Nitrogen (NO,)
. Ozone (03)
The standards are designed to protect the most sensitive persons from illness or discomfort with a
margin of safety. The California standards are more stringent than federal standards and in the case
of PMlO and sulfur dioxide, far more stringent. Table 5.3-1 outlines current federal and State
ambient air quality standards.
Despite the existence of many strict controls, the South Coast Air Basin still fails to meet federal air
quality standards for two of the six criteria pollutants including 03 and PMlO. Because lead-based
gasoline has been phased out of California, airborne lead pollution is no longer a problem in the
Basin, nor is sulfur dioxide pollution.
Nearly all pollution control programs developed to date have relied on the development and
application of cleaner technology and add-on emissions control devices to clean up vehicular and
industrial sources, such as catalytic converters for automobiles. Recent efforts include new
programs monitoring high-emitting vehicles and industries (e.g. the Vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance Program and mandatory maintenance procedures on industrial sources), and attempts
to reduce overall vehicle activity (e.g. High Occupancy Vehicle [HOV] lanes).
Past air quality programs have been effective in improving the Basin's air quality. Although the
magnitude of the problem depends heavily on the weather conditions in a given year, and
improvements can only be compared for the same air monitoring station, ozone levels have
declined by almost half over the past 30 years. However, ozone levels within the Basin remain at or
near the top of all pollution concentrations within urban areas in the United States.
Air Quality Monitoring
The nearest air quality monitoring station to T emecula is located at Lake Elsinore (See figure 5.3-1).
Table 5.3-2 shows monitored air quality for CO, 03, and NO, at the Lake Elsinore station. The data
indicates that State standards are rarely exceeded for CO or NOx, yet frequently exceeded for 03.
PMlO measurements are not taken at the Lake Elsinore station. The nearest air quality monitoring
station for PMlO is located in the Perris Valley. Table 5.3-3 shows the maximum concentrations of
PMlO and the number of days samples exceeded State standards at the Perris Valley station.

Air Quality
Sensitive Receptors
SCAQMD identifies sensitive receptors as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of air
pollution than the general population. Sensitive receptors located in or near the vicinity of known
air emissions sources, including freeways and intersections, are of particular concern. Sensitive
receptors are located throughout the project area, as shown in Figure 5.3-2. Sensitive receptors in
T emecula include the following:
. hospitals
. libraries
. child care centers
. adult assisted care facilities
. schools
land use compatibility issues relative to siting of pollution-emitting uses or siting of sensitive
receptors must be considered.
Carbon Monoxide Hot Spots
Carbon monoxide (CO) hot spots, or areas where carbon monoxide is concentrated, typically occur
near congested intersections, parking garages, and other spaces where a substantial number of
vehicles remain idle. Petroleum-powered vehicles emit carbon monoxide, an unhealthy gas (see
Table 5.3-1), which disperses based on wind speed, temperature, traffic speeds, local topography,
and other variables. As vehicles idle in traffic congestion or in enclosed spaces, CO can accumulate
to create CO hot spots that can impact sensitive receptors.
Toxic Air Pollutants
Toxic air pollutants, such as asbestos, can be emitted during the demolition of buildings that contain
toxic contaminants, and during the operation of certain industrial processes that utilize toxic
substances. Federal and State governments have implemented a number of programs to control
toxic air emissions. For example, the federal Clean Air Act provides a program for the control of
hazardous air pollutants. In addition, the California legislature enacted programs including the
Tanner T oxics Act (Health and Safety Code Section 25300 et. seq.), the Air T oxics Hot Spot
Assessment Program (Health and Safety Code Section 44300 el. seq.), the Toxics Emissions Near
Schools Program (Public Resources Code Section 21151.8), and the Disposal Site Air Monitoring
Program (Health and Safety Code Section 41800 el. seq.).
SCAQMD has developed and implements rules to control emissions of toxic air pollutants from
specific sources. These include Rule 1401 (New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants) which
requires certain businesses to obtain a permit to emit toxic air pollutants, and Rule 1403 (Asbestos
Emissions from Renovation/Demolition Activities) which regulates asbestos emissions during
construction activities.

Air Quality
Related Plans and Programs
Air Quality Management Plan
Both California and the federal government require non-attainment areas, such as the South Coast
Air Basin, to prepare an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) to reduce air pollution to healthful
levels. The California Clean Air Act of 1988 and amendments to the federal Clean Air Act in 1990
require strict air pollution control efforts. For example, the State of California must submit plans to
the federal government showing how non-attainment areas in California will meet federal air quality
standards by specific deadlines.
The 1994 and 1997 South Coast Air Basin AQMPs incorporate a number of measures to reduce air
pollution in the Basin in order to meet federal and State requirements. These measures include
strategies to meet federal and State standards for CO, PM 10, NO" and 03; control of toxic air
contaminants and acutely hazardous emissions; and control of global warming and ozone depleting
gases. These measures are updated periodically.
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact if it will:
. Violate any air quality standard or contributes substantially to an existing air quality violation
. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant
. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations
The SCAQMD has established air pollutant emission thresholds to assist lead agencies in
determining whether or not the construction or operation of a project results in significant impacts.
If the lead agency finds that the project has the potential to exceed these thresholds, the project is
considered to 'have a significant impact on air quality. These thresholds are summarized in Table
5.3-4.

Air Quality
In addition, implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact related to CO hot
spots if it will:
. Allow sensitive receptors to locate adjacent to intersections identified as CO hot spots, and/or
. Result in localized carbon monoxide concentrations near existing sensitive receptors
The State of California CO concentration standards, shown in Table 5.3-1, are 9 parts per million
(ppm) during an 8.hour period, and 20-ppm during a l-hour period. If CO hot spots currently exist,
then a l-ppm increase attributable to the project over "no project" conditions for the one-hour
period is considered a significant impact.
Environmental Impact
Air quality impacts from future development pursuant to the General Plan can be classified as either
short-term or long-term impacts. Short-term impacts are associated with construction activities, and
long-term impacts are associated with the operation of developed land uses and associated
vehicular trips.
Shorf-Term Impacts
For any construction project, short-term pollutant emissions could be produced from the following
sources: construction equipment, dust from grading and earthmoving operations, workers' vehicles,
and architectural coatings such as paints.
Construction-related air quality impacts will occur periodically throughout implementation of the
General Plan as individual development projects are constructed. Construction activity will
primarily generate airborne dust, carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In addition,
architectural coatings, exterior paints, and asphalt may release volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Because the General Plan identifies future permitted land uses and does not identify specific
development proposals, construction-related emissions of individual future developments cannot be
quantified at this time. Assuming relatively robust economic conditions through 2025, construction
activity will be a constant throughout the T emecula Planning Area, particularly at locations where
land use policy focuses development. While individual development projects will be required to
employ construction approaches that minimize pollutant emissions (e.g., watering for dust control,
tuning of equipment and limiting truck traffic to non-peak hours), on a cumulative basis over the
next 20 years, pollutant emissions associated with construction activity will be significant, and
mitigation is required.
Long-Term Impacts
Development through 2025 consistent with proposed General Plan land use policies will result in
the addition of approximately 25,005 units to Temecula's existing housing stock, for a total of
54,687 units, and an additional 36.2 million square feet of nonresidential development, for a total of
75.5 million square feet. This development will generate additional emissions from both stationary
sources and vehicle trips. Stationary sources are defined by SCAQMD to be those sources that
emit pollution from industrial or commercial processes, or use of various types of equipment.

Table 5.3-5 reports the estimated air pollution emissions associated with the change in land uses as
a result of implementation of the proposed General Plan in 2025. Future pollutant emissions were

As evident from Table 5.3-5, for all pollutant categories except PMlO, long-term pollutant emissions
in year 2025 are projected to decrease relative to 2002. This can be explained by several factors,
including effective efforts of the SCAQMD to improve the Basin's air quality. Factors that will
contribute to this reduction, in spite of new development within the Planning Area and the region,
include:
. Phase-out of older automobiles from the vehicle fleet
. Improvement of vehicle emissions-control technology, particularly within diesel vehicles
. Beller control of VOC release from all sources
. Improvement in emissions-control technologies for commercial and industrial operations
PMJO typically originates from the stationary combustion of solid fuels, construction activities,
industrial processes, and atmospheric chemical reactions. A possible explanation for PMJO
increasing over the next 20 years is a lack of specific legal control measures for this pollutant. PMlO
will continue exhaust and tire wear, which are difficult to regulate. Levels of PM 10 have exceeded
State standards regularly in the past and are expected to continue exceeding these standards in the
future. Therefore, long-term air quality impacts resulting from adoption and implementation of the
proposed General Plan will be significant, and mitigation measures are required.

Air Qua/ily
Carbon Monoxide Hot Spots
Intersections within the Planning Area projected to experience the worst level of service (LOS)'
conditions, in combination with proximity to sensitive receptors were selected for CO hot spot
analysis. The following intersections were analyzed:
. Rancho California Road & Old Town Front Street
. Ynez Road & Rancho California Road
. Ynez Road & Rancho Vista Road
. SR-79 North & 1-15
Using the CO model CALlNE-4, a l-hour emission scenario was analyzed for the selected
intersections (see Appendix B). CALlNE-4 is a dispersion model used to predict CO levels near
highways and arterial streets. Downwind concentration of CO is estimated for the worst-case
atmospheric conditions resulting in the least dispersion of pollutants. These atmospheric conditions,
which may occur on up to 5 to 10 days per year, typically occur during the morning hours from
7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. or 11 :00 A.M., when low wind speeds (less than 1 meter per second), stable
air, and constant wind direction combine to minimize dispersal of pollutants. In more typical
morning conditions, less stable air and substantially more variation in wind direction disperse
pollutants over a much wider area, minimizing the area exposed to the highest pollutant levels.
During other times of the day, much lower stability and higher wind speeds are typical.
The CALlNE-4 analysis shows that while all study intersections will experience some level of CO
concentration, ranging from 0.1 ppm to 1.5 ppm during the l-hour period, no intersections are
anticipated to exceed SCAQMD thresholds for l-hour standard. Therefore, implementation of the
proposed General Plan will not result in a significant impact with regard to CO hot spots.'
The General Plan Air Quality Element includes goals and policies addressing regional air quality
improvement, the consideration of air quality impacts in land use planning and development
approval decisions, reduction of air pollutant emissions from automobiles, and energy conservation
practices. In addition, several policies within the Land Use and Circulation Elements encourage
techniques designed to reduce air pollution in the T emecula Planning Area.
Mitigation Measures
AQ-l. The City will support regional transit initiatives and promote development of high-speed rail
service connecting T emecula to San Diego and Los Angeles; actively participate in efforts to
protect and improve air quality in the region; and attend meetings with the County of
Riverside, WRCOG, SCAQMD, SCAG, and other agencies as required to support these
objectives and fulfill Temecula's requirements and obligations under the AQMP and Sub-
Regional Air Quality Implementation Program (General Plan Implementation Program AQ-
1).
AQ-2. The City will continue to involve the general public, environmental groups, the business
community, and special interest groups in the formulation and implementation of air quality

5.4 Biological Resources
This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the General Plan to affect biological
resources within the Planning Area. As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the project will
not conflict with any local policies, ordinances, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat
conservation plan. The following is summarized from Biological Existing Conditions (May 2002) and
Biological Resources Section (September 2003) prepared by Merkel & Associates. These reports are
provided in Appendix C of this EIR.
Environmental Setting
The majority of the T emecula region is topographically characterized by flat terrain with elevations
gradually rising towards the southeast in the foothills of the Agua Tibia Mountains. Areas within the
current City limits primarily consist of urban developed lands, intermixed with native and non-native
vegetation. Surrounding agricultural and undisturbed lands are located to the northeast, with native
vegetation to the southeast and southwest. To the northwest are urban developed lands within the
City of Murrieta. The Planning Area encompasses habitats ranging from disturbed to very good
quality native vegetation communities. Within the City limits, a predominance of urban
development and road bisections contains or eliminates habitat connectivity, thereby decreasing
the wildlife value of much of the Planning Area. Regions of prime importance to wildlife are
generally concentrated within the sphere of influence, particularly within the French Valley area, as
well as southeast and southwest of T emecula.
The City and Planning Area lie within the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan .(MSHCP) area. The MSHCP serves as a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional
Habitat Conservation Plan, pursuant to Section (a)(1 )(b) of the federal Endangered Species Act of
2001. The plan encompasses all unincorporated County land west of the crest of the San Jacinto
Mountains to the Orange County line, as well as the jurisdictional areas of the cities of T ernecula,
Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Norco, Corona, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Banning,
Beaumont, Calimesa, Perris, Hemet, and San Jacinto. The overall biological goal of the MSHCP is to
maintain and restore biological diversity and the natural ecosystem processes which support this
diversity, to natural areas within Western Riverside County which are known to support threatened,
endangered, or key sensitive populations of plant and wildlife speciesl
Regional Vegetation Communities
Thirteen vegetation communities have been identified within the Planning Area: Diegan Coastal
Sage Scrub, Riversidean Sage Scrub, Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, Disturbed Alluvial,
Chaparral, Vernal Pool, Southern Cottonwood-willow Riparian Woodland, Southern Sycamore-alder
Riparian Woodland, Riparian Scrub, Mule Fat Scrub, Southern Willow Scrub, Oak Woodland, and
Non-native Grassland. Four additional categories consisting primarily of non-native vegetation with

Biological Resources
Coastal Sage Scrub/Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub
Coastal Sage scrub has been substantially reduced in Southern California largely due to urban and
agricultural development. Sage scrub vegetation communities provide habitat for the federally
listed, threatened California gnatcatcher (Polioptila cali/omica), as well as several other State and
locally sensitive species. In addition, sage scrub habitats often include rocky outcrops which
increase species diversity by creating microhabitats that are regularly used as basking and perch
sites by a number of sensitive butterfly, reptile, and raptor species. The majority of the sage scrub
habitat within the Planning Area has been fragmented by development, reducing wildlife value.
However, several of the sage scrub patches throughout the City, and particularly in the French
Valley, may provide narrow habitat linkages or stepping stones enabling wildlife species to disperse
to larger areas of native habitat within the region.
Vernal Pools/Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest/Open Water, Reservoir, Pond
Vernal pools, riparian vegetation, and water are wetland habitat types that have extremely high
wildljfe values, are naturally limited in distribution, and have been substantially depleted within
Southern California. Numerous species are dependent on wetland and riparian areas for food,
cover and breeding, and several additional species, although not dependent on these habitats,
utilize these areas on a regular basis. Several wetland and riparian habitats are located throughout
the Planning Area along the various creeks and tributaries, and vernal pools are located at Skunk
Hollow in the French Valley. Although these habitats are typically constrained by peripheral
development, thereby reducing wildlife value, these areas are vital to maintaining existing habitat
connectivity and wildlife corridor value throughout the region.
Coast live Oak Woodland
Oak woodlands also have extremely high wildlife value, are naturally limited in distribution, and
have been substantially depleted throughout Southern California. Oak woodlands vary in terms of
species composition, density, understory, and regeneration capacity. This habitat diversity will
typically influence wildlife abundance and habitat quality, but regardless of quality, oaks that form
woodlands are generally considered to have high biological value for numerous wildlife species. In
addition, oak trees are susceptible to indirect long-term impacts from disease, pollution, and
changes in water availability, causing loss of regenerative ability within individual oak stands. Oak
woodlands are limited within the Planning Area, but those that occur or abut creeks have increased
wildlife value. Additionally, oak woodlands adjacent to more open vegetation, such as coastal sage
scrub and non-native grasslands with a high abundance of rodent prey items, have increased wildlife
value, particularly for raptor species.
Raptor Wintering/Foraging Habitat
Although non-native grasslands and agric'ultural lands are not typically considered sensitive habitat
types, they are considered sensitive if they support listed sensitive species (e.g., some raptors) or are
of particular biological value to these species. These vegetation communities, particularly when
located adjacent to woodland habitats, provide a good prey base and suitable hunting habitat for
resident, wintering, and transient raptor populations. Within the Planning Area, potential raptor
wintering and foraging habitat is primarily located in the French Valley area and south of the City.

Designated Critical Habitat
The Planning Area is partially located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) designated
critical habitat for the federally listed, threatened California gnatcatcher and endangered Quino
checker~pot butterfly, as shown in Figure 5.4-1.
Unit 10 of the California Gnatcatcher Critical Habitat encompasses approximately 199,940 acres of
land within the Western Riverside County MSHCP area. The Temecula/Murrieta/Lake Skinner
subunit is partially located within the T emecula Planning Area and consists of essential linkages
between core gnatcatcher populations. Two linkages are located in the French Valley that connect
habitat to the north and northeast of the City boundary. An additional linkage is located in
T emecula Valley (1-15 corridor) that connects habitat to the south into San Diego County.
Unit 2 of the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly Critical Habitat encompasses approximately 85,950
acres of land within southwestern Riverside County and northern San Diego County. The
Temecula/Murrieta/Oak Grove subunit is partially located within the Planning Area and extends
east from 1-215 across French Valley to Hemet on the north and Oak Grove Valley in San Diego
County to the south. Recent (2004) Quino observations have been recorded throughout the
subunit, indicating that the landscape provides some measure of habitat connectivity essential to
the conservation of the Quino checkerspot butterfly.
MSHCP Conservation Area/Core Linkages
The T emecula Planning Area is partially located within subunits 1, 2, 5, and 6 of the MSHCP
Southwest Area Plan, as shown in Figure 5.4-2. Each subunit identifies conceptual MSHCP reserve
designs, applicable cores and linkages, and biological issues and considerations.
Subunit 1 Murrieta Creek
The focus of subunit 1 is to maintain habitat connectivity within Murrieta Creek at the confluence of
Pechanga Creek, T ernecula Creek, and the Santa Margarita River, as well as between Murrieta
Creek and Lower Warm Springs Creek, to facilitate wildlife movement and conserve wetland
species. Murrieta Creek functions as a constrained local wildlife corridor that connects the Santa
Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, located northwest of T emecula, to upland native habitat which
connects to the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve, located southwest of the Planning Area.
Murrieta Creek is located within Temecula Valley and is predominantly constrained by urban
development; however, quality riparian habitat is present along the edges of the creek.
Subunit 2 Temecula and Pechanga Creeks
Within the Planning Area, the focus of conservation for subunit 2 is to maintain habitat connectivity
within T emecula and Pechanga Creeks to facilitate wildlife movement. The portions of T emecula
and Pechanga Creeks located in the southwestern portion of the City function as constrained local
wildlife corridors that connect to upland native habitat and the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve.
The part of T emecula Creek east of Redhawk Parkway and west of Pauba Road functions as a
constrained local wildlife corridor that connects to core biological resource areas in Wilson Valley
east of the City boundary. Temecula and Pechanga Creeks are located within Pauba Valley and
primarily consist of quality riparian habitat constrained by urban development.

Subunit 5 French Valley/Lower Sedco Hills
Within the Planning Area, the focus of conservation for subunit 5 is to maintain core and linkage
habitat for the federally listed, endangered Riverside fairy shrimp and Quino checkerspot butterfly in
French Valley. The Skunk Hollow area and lower Tucaloca Creek consist of land in a conservation
easement that connects French Valley to Antelope Valley in the west and Johnson Ranch in the
east. These linkages are constrained primarily by agricultural lands.
Subunit 6 Santa Rosa Plateau
Maintenance of large blocks of core and linkage native habitat is the focus of conservation for
subunit 6. The land to the southwest of Murrieta Creek in Temecula Valley functions as an upland
habitat connection between the Santa Rosa Plateau and Santa Margarita Ecological Reserves. This
area primarily consists of native coastal sage scrub and chaparral habitat.
Rare, Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Species
Regulatory authority is issued over sensitive species designated as endangered or threatened under
the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and/or California Endangered Species Act (CESA), while
other sensitivity listings by the State, local jurisdictions and private groups are generally advisory in
nature. The following discussion is based on the review of existing MSHCP data, including
information compiled from USFWS and California Departrnent of Fish and Game (CDFG) data,
California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and museum records, environmental impact
reports, published and unpublished accounts, and field notes of local naturalists.
Sensitive Flora
Eight sensitive flora species listed under the federal ESA and/or CESA, or by the California Native
Plant Society (CNPS), are known to occur within the Planning Area, as described in Table 5.4-2.
Twenty-four additional flora species have been reported within the vicinity of Temecula and are

Munz's Onion is endemic to southwestern Riverside County and ranges from southeast of Corona,
along the Elsinore Fault Zone, to the southwestern foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. It is
known to occur within the Planning Area at Skunk Hollow.
San Diego Ambrosia is distributed from western Riverside County to western San Diego County,
and along the coast of Baja California, Mexico. A key population of San Diego Ambrosia is located
within the Planning Area in a conservation bank at Skunk Hollow.
Rainbow Manzanita is restricted to southwestern Riverside County, south of Pauba Valley and
northwestern San Diego County, north of the San Luis Rey River. Populations are currently stable;
however, the flowers and fruits of this plant are susceptible to boring insects from continued
orchard expansion. Rainbow Manzanita is known to occur within the T emecula region near the
Pechanga Indian Reservation and Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve.
Nevin's Barberry is endemic to southwestern Southern California and occurs in restricted localized
populations. Nevin's Barberry is known to occur within the Temecula region at the base of the
Agua Tiba Mountains.
Long.spined Spineflower occurs frorn western Riverside County south, through San Diego County,
to the vicinity of Oso Negros, east of Ensenada, Mexico. The status of this species is presumed to
be declining based on considerable urban expansion within the Los Angeles basin. Long-spined
Spineflower is known to occur within the Planning Area in the clay soils at Skunk Hollow.
The geographic range of Srnall.flowered Morning.glory extends from the central, coastal regions of
California to Baja California, Mexico. Currently, development is reducing the potential habitat of
this rare species. Small.flowered Morning.glory is known to occur within the Planning Area, west of

The historic range of the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly (QCB) extends along the foothills of the
Transverse and Peninsular ranges in California, southeast of the Santa Monica Mountains and Santa
Clarita Valley to northern Baja California, Mexico. Fragmentation of suitable QCB habitat appears
to be one factor resulting in the decline of the species.
Fairy shrimp are found in vernal pools and are adapted for survival in relatively short-lived water
bodies. Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp are restricted to short-lived, seasonal, cool-water vernal pools, and
are primarily found in the Central Valley and foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern
California; in southern California, the species is only known to occur in western Riverside County.
Riverside Fairy Shrimp are restricted to deep, seasonal, warm-water vernal pools that remain filled
for extended periods of time, including ephemeral and stock ponds. Key populations of both of
these species are known to occur within the Planning Area at Skunk Hollow.
The Southwestern Pond Turtle currently ranges from San Francisco Bay to northern Baja California,
Mexico. The species has seriously declined in Southern California and is becoming extremely rare
due to the general destruction of lowland riparian areas and human disturbance. Furthermore,
there is evidence that the remaining populations suffer from a lack of recruitment, possibly due to
predation by non-native bullfrogs. A key population of the Southwestern Pond Turtle is known to
occur within the City at the confluence of Murrieta and T emecula Creeks.
The Ringneck Snake is widespread throughout California, except in the Central Valley, in high
mountains, desert, and areas east of the Sierra-Cascade crest. The species is presumed to be

declining given the number of historical collections from locations that are now largely urban. The
Ringneck Snake is known to occur along Murrieta Creek in the City.
The Two-striped Garter Snake ranges from Monterey County southward along the drainages within
the coast and peninsular ranges, to Mission San Fernando Velicata in northwestern Baja California,
Mexico. The snake is found in the vicinity of creeks, rivers, and freshwater marshes, and
occasionally in stock ponds or vernal pools adjacent to mesic areas. The Two-striped Garter Snake
is known to occur within and approximately one mile south of the City.
The California Horned Lark ranges throughout northern America. The bird is a common breeding
resident and abundant migrant and winter visitor in Southern California. It is typically found near
sandy shores, bare ground, grasslands, open agricultural land and open scrubland. The California
Horned Lark is known to occur in areas of suitable habitat within the City.
The Coastal California Gnatcatcher currently ranges from Orange, Riverside and San Diego
Counties, south to Baja California, Mexico. The species has seriously declined due to loss of habitat
from urban or agricultural development, and has already been nearly extirpated from the counties
of Ventura, San Bernardino, and most of Los Angeles. The Coastal California Gnatcatcher has been
recorded in areas of suitable habitat within the City.
The Northwestern San Diego Pocket Mouse ranges from San Onofre north to Claremont, northeast
to Banning, then south to Jacumba and on into Baja California to San Quentin, Mexico. This pocket
mouse inhabits primarily coastal sage scrub, as well as sage scrub/grassland ecotones and chaparral
communities. The status of this species is not well documented, but it is believed to be declining
due to extensive urban and agricultural development. The Northwestern San Diego Pocket Mouse
is known to occur in southern T emecula and to the east in the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve.
The Los Angeles Pocket Mouse extends eastward of the San Gorgonio Pass in Riverside County,
southeast to Hemet and Aguanga, and possibly to Oak Grove, in north-central San Diego County.
The Los Angeles Pocket Mouse is known to occur in the French Valley Area at Skunk Hollow, and
key populations of this species are located within the City.

Biological Resources
Environmental Impact
A number of sensitive habitats and species are known to exist within the Planning Area. Although
all sensitive species and habitats are subject to regulation by the USFWS and CDFG, adoption and
implementation of the General Plan update could result in significant impacts to a variety of
sensitive habitats and species. Impacts could occur as a result of grading, excavation, and
construction activities associated with construction of community facilities, private developments,
and street and utility improvements facilitated by General Plan policy. In addition, implementation
and adoption of the proposed General Plan could produce deleterious edge effects that will
adversely modify native vegetation located adjacent to development areas. To minimize impacts to
biological resources, the General Plan policies require development proposals to identify significant
biological resources and provide mitigation, including the use of adequate buffering and sensitive
site planning techniques, selective preservation, provision of replacement habitats; and other
appropriate measures to protect sensitive habitats (General Plan Policy 05-3.1). The General Plan
also calls for the City to work with nonprofit groups, the County, and other interested parties to set
aside and enhance areas containing significant biological resources (General Plan Policy 05-3.2).
On of the key features of biological resource protection is the City's inclusion of the policies and
programs of the MSHCP into the General Plan. As a signatory agency, the City will continue to
work with the County of Riverside and other implementing agencies to ensure that sensitive
biological areas throughout the County are protected from future development and habitat
conservation measures are incorporated into the development review process. Specifically,
implementation of the General Plan will have the following impacts to biological resources:
Impacts to Regional Sensitive Habitats
Development pursuant to implementation and adoption of the General Plan will result in adverse
significant impacts if such development results in the modification or removal of regional sensitive
habitats within the Planning Area, including:
. Coastal Sage Scrub/Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub
. Vernal Pools/Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest/Open Water, Reservoir, Pond
. Coast Live Oak Woodland
. Raptor ForagingjWintering Habitat
Impacts to non-native grassland and agricultural land will be significant if the habitat is determined
to provide high wildlife value for raptor wintering and foraging, or to support federally or State
listed, endangered or threatened species (see Tables 5.4-2, 5.4-3, 5.4-4, and 5.4-5). Mitigation
measures are required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
Designated Critical Habitat
As shown in Figure 5.4-1, the T emecula Planning Area encompasses designated critical habitat for
the California gnatcatcher and Quino checkerspot butterfly, as determined by USFWS. Critical
habitat is primarily located in the northern portion of the Planning Area in French Valley where low-
medium residential development. Therefore, implementation of the General Plan will result in
significant impacts to designated critical habitat, as shown in Figure 5.4-1.

The Planning Area encompasses four MSHCP conservation areas and core linkages. Portions of
MSHCP conservation areas within French Valley (subunit 5), Pauba Valley (subunit 2), and
Temecula Valley (subunits 1 and 6) will incur permanent, indirect impacts from development-
associated increases in the amount of fragmented habitat, artificial nighttime illumination, and
human intrusion into natural habitats. In addition, impacts to chaparral will be significant if the
habitat is located within a MSHCP conservation, core, or linkage area (e.g., Pauba Valley or
Temecula Valley), as shown on Figure 5.4-2. The General Plan provides for development in these
areas; at a Plan level, impact may be significant.
Rare, Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Species
Development associated with implementation of the General Plan will result in permanent indirect
impacts to sensitive flora and fauna species present within the Planning Area where development
encroaches into habitat or directly affects the following species:
. Munz's onion . Quino checkerspot butterfly
. San Diego ambrosia . Arroyo toad
. Nevin's barberry . Southwester willow flycatcher
. Vail Lake ceanothus . American peregrine falcon
. Slender-horned spineflower . Bald eagle
. San Diego button-celery . Coastal California gnatchatcher
. Spreading navarretia . Least bell's vireo
. California orcutt grass . Stephen's kangaroo rat
. San Miguel savory
I
I
Impacts to federally and State-listed, rare, endangered and threatened species will be significant and
adverse. Mitigation measures are required to reduce adverse impacts to a less than significant level.
Impacts to lower sensitivity species will be significant if it is determined that the proposed future
development will substantially reduce the species' population stability or conflict with the MSCHP
conditions of coverage. Mitigation measures are required to provide further environmental review
of individual future development projects. .

5.5 Cultural Resources
This section evaluates the potential for implementation of the General Plan to affect historical,
archeological, and paleontological resources or human remains within the Planning Area.
Environmental Setting
The name Temecula comes from the Luiseno Indian word "Temecunga" - "temet" meaning "sun" and
"-ngna" which means "place of." The Spanish interpreted and spelled the word as ''1 emecula." Over
the years, the meaning of "T emecula" has been translated into several different versions of this
interpretation, including the most popular, which is "Where the sun breaks through the mist."
Temecula is the only city in California to still retain its original Indian name'
The Luiseno Indians inhabited Temecula in the 1700s when the Spanish padres visited. By the mid-
1840s it became apparent that Mexico's hold on California could no longer be retained and
governors of the province began the process of making land grants to individuals. In 1845, Rancho
Temecula was granted to Felix Valdez. The passing of the ranchos into private ownership brought
the romantic era of rancheros and vaqueros, for which early California is best known, into full
bloom. It was a short-lived era, but perhaps nowhere in California did its aura linger longer than
within the Temecula Valley.'
In 1858, T emecula became a stop on the Bullerfield Overland Stage route. The stages brought new
selllers to the area and mail became an important link with the rest of the country. On April 22,
1859, the first inland Southern California post office was established in T emecula in the Magee
Store. This was the second post office in the State, the first being sited in San Francisco. The
T emecula post office was destined for a number of moves over the ensuing years; its present
locations are the seventh and eighth sites it has occupied. While the United States mail delivery in
T emecula was being transformed from stagecoaches to military couriers and from saddle pouches
to wagons, other phases of history were also transpiring. Born of discontent bred by the Civil War,
in the late 1860s, a great migration reached Temecula Valley. It was also during this period that the
historic Mormon March, the longest non military march in U.S. history, passed through Temecula on
the way to San Diego.'
In 1875, the local Indians were evicted from their lands as a result of petitions signed by area
ranchers. Ten years after the eviction, in 1885, the 4,125-acre Pechanga Indian reservation was
created some eight miles from downtown Temecula.
The Civil War put an end to the great Bullerfield Overland Stage Service, but shortly thereafter a rail
line from National City to T emecula was completed in 1882. A minor business boom began in

T emecula with the advent of rail service. At the turn of the century T emecula gained a place of
importance as a shipping point for grain and cattle'
In 1904, Walter Vail migrated to California and with various partners began buying vast acreages in
Southern California. He purchased 87,500 acres in Riverside County which included the township
of Temecula. For years, the Vail family had dreamed of building a dam to catch the Temecula
Creek water which ran its course to the Pacific Ocean. In 1948, at a cost of more that $1 million,
the dam was completed, and Vail Lake was created. Through the mid-1960s, the economy of the
Temecula Valley centered on the Vail Ranch; the cattle business and agriculture were the stimuli for
most business ventures. In 1964, the Vail Ranch was sold to Kaiser Development Company and the
Temecula Valley was transformed. Soon, the valley became known as the site of Rancho
California.'
Interstate 15 between Los Angeles County and San Diego was completed in the early 1980s,
sparking the subdivision land boom. When Rancho California incorporated in December, 1989, the
citizens voted to officially narne their city T ernecula6

Archaeological Resources
Archaeological sites are locations that contain significant resources that identify human activity.
Generally, a site is defined by a significant accumulation or presence of one or more of the
following criteria: human skeletal remains, waste from the manufacturing of tools, tool
concentrations or alignments of stones, modification of rock service, unusual discoloration or
accumulation of soil, or food remains.
According to the California Archaeological Inventory, 23 archaeological sites are recorded within
the City boundaries. Archaeological sites are classified into three categories: prehistoric,
ethnographic, and historical. These categories describe the time period in which they were
occupied and imply the type of evidence available. Prehistoric sites are resources for which no
written documentation exists, nor does any evidence of Euro-American contact. Ethnographic sites
are Native American sites associated with the early settlement period by Euro-Americans. Historical
sites are associated with the advent of written documents and are considered Euro-American sites.
Prehistoric occupation in the T emecula area dates back at least 4,000 years before present. Native
American villages in the area were described by early European and Euro-American explorers. The
types of sites associated with Native American occupation of Temecula Valley range from single
bedrock milling slicks (used to process plants and animals), to scatters of tools and flaked stone, to a
large village site containing tools of many types, and midden (soil which has been chemically
changed by longer human occupation.) Local Native Americans are actively concerned with the
identification and proper treatment of their ancestors' remains.

Cultural Resources
The ethnographic period includes Native American village sites that were occupied during the stage
of European and Euro-American contact. These sites occasionally contain structures and trade
items, in addition to more traditional stone tools."
The historic period of Temecula Valley dates back to the Rancho Temecula land grant in 1835.
Under State guidelines, an archaeological site must be at least 45 years old. The cultural resources
associated with the Euro-American occupation include sites of all types, from early ranching adobes
and the two-story Vail Ranch "Big House," to cattle ramps, stage coach stops, and trash-dumps, and
more recent World War II-era structures.
The Temecula Valley has been long considered an optimal place to live due to the presence of
reliable water sources and a fertile valley floor. Prehistoric sites in the City tend to be long-term
occupation sites. Most of these village sites have been destroyed by Euro-American development
prior to laws passed to protect them. Because village sites contain more remains of daily living than
do smaller short-term habitation sites, they are valuable to researchers for their evidence about past
cultures.12
Furthermore, it is not unusual in the T emecula area for a single location to contain evidence of
occupation from the prehistoric through the historical period. The location of the first Euro-
American birth in Riverside County occurred at an historical-era Native American site. The first
location of historical T emecula Was a prehistoric Native American village. Burials are often
associated with the village sites of the periods. Isolated prehistoric and historical human remains
have been found in the T emecula area, as well as those associated with known cemeteriesB
Paleontological Resources
Within the Temecula Valley region, sedimentary rock units contain significant fossil records that
date back three million years. Scientists speculate that the region may have been a major migration
route for animals moving between North and South America. This exchange played a significant
role in the evolution of mammals on both continents.
An Unnamed Sandstone (middle Pleistocene, dates one million years to 450,000 years ago) is
evidenced between Murrieta and Pauba Valley. According to the San Bernardino County Museum
Regional Paleontologic Locality Inventory, this unit contains a number of vertebrate fossil resource
localities. Large Ice Age Mammals, such as mammoth, mastodon, horse, camel, antelope, and
coyote, are located in this unit. Small vertebrate fossils found in this unit include bat, shrew, rabbit,
rodent, lizard, snake, frogs, toads, salamanders, and fish. Sediments in this formation consist of
Bishop Tuff (700,000 years before present) and youngest Irvingtonian Land Mammal Age (450,000
years before present).14
The Planning Area also contains Pauba Sandstone (early to late Pleistocene, 300,000 years before
present). Fossil records indicate that the Pauba Formation spans the period at the end of the
Pleistocene period, when there was a major extinction of land animals. The Pauba Formation is

well-exposed from Pauba Valley northwestward to Elsinore. The Regional Paleontologic local
Inventory indicates that this formation contains more than 30 resource deposits. Fossils in the
Pauba Formation represent the Rancholabrean land Mammal Age and may date 300,000 years
before present
The Pauba Formation is overlain by Pleistocene Alluvium (late Pleistocene, 10,000 years before
present). At Diamond Valley and near lake Elsinore, fossil horse and mammoth have been
recorded at several localities.
Unnamed Sandstone and Pauba Formation are sensJlJve paleontologic resources, as they have a
high potential to contain significant non-renewable paleontologic resources. Unnamed Sandstone
and Pauba Formation occur throughout a large percentage of the Planning Area. Cretaceous and
pre-cretaceous rock formations occur southwest of Murrieta Creek, along the southern edge of the
City limits. Quarternary recent alluvium, in varying degrees of thickness, occurs along river and
stream channels in the Planning Area. River and stream channels are marked as having low
sensitivity. Recent alluvium in these areas does not have the potential to contain paleontologic
resources; however, it often covers older Pleistocene sediments of paleontologic significance.
Previous resource assessments conducted within the city indicate a wide range of vertebrate fauna
from the Rancholabrean North American land Mammal Age, including horse skulls and mammoth
bones. Resource assessments in the southern sphere of influence have produced typical
Irvingtonian faunal assemblages, including horse.15
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
For the purposes of this EIR, a significant impact will occur if implementation of the proposed
General Plan will:
. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource,
. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource,
. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature, or
. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries.

Environmental Impact
Historic Resources
Adoption and implementation of the Temecula General Plan will result in an estimated 25,005 net
new residential units and approximately 36.2 million square feet of net new nonresidential
development. Development pursuant to the General Plan will occur mostly on vacant sites within
the Planning Area that do not contain existing structures, as well as within currently urbanized
Mixed-Use Overlay Areas and Village Centers identified in the Land Use Element. In addition, the
General Plan strives to preserve existing historic resources through the maintenance of a historic
properties inventory, assistance to property owners in seeking State and/or federal registration and
appropriate zoning for historic sites and assets, and acquisition and preservation of historical
buildings for public facilities in accordance with the Old Town Specific Plan when possible. The
General Plan also calls for an integrated approach to historic preservation in coordination with other
affected jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations for areas within the Planning Area and
surrounding region that seeks to establish linkages between historic sites or buildings with other
historic features such as roads, trails, ridges, and seasonal waterways. Nevertheless, small urban
infill development or redevelopment projects that are not subject to discretionary review by the City
may also occur that could involve the removal or alteration of existing structures with historical
value or significance elsewhere within City limits. Thus, mitigation is required to minimize impacts
to historic resources from adoption and implementation of the General Plan. With mitigation,
impact will be less than significant.
Archaeological and Paleontological Resources
As described in the Environmental Setting, T emecula has a rich past, and portions of the Planning
Area contain known archaeological and paleontological resources. Implementation of the General
Plan is expected to result in new development in vacant areas where no structures currently exist,
as well as infill development within focus areas located throughout the Planning Area. Therefore,
the General Plan Open Space Element calls for the City to work to preserve or salvage potential
archeological and paleontological resources on sites proposed for future development through the
development review and mitigation monitoring processes, as well as maintain an inventory of areas
with archaeological/paleontological sensitivity, and historic sites in the Planning Area. However,
unknown archaeological sites, structures, and fossils may be unearthed during excavation and
grading activities for specific projects. If previously undiscovered artifacts or remains are uncovered
during excavation or construction, impact will be significant. Mitigation measures are required to
reduce the impact to archaeological and paleontological resources to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measures
CR-l The City shall use the development and environmental review process to:
a. Ensure that appropriate archaeological and paleontological surveying and
documentation of findings is provided prior to project approval.
b. Require effective mitigation where development may affect archaeological or
paleontological resources.

c. Require that an archaeologist or paleontologist be retained to observe grading
activities in areas where the probable presence of archaeological or paleontological
resources is identified.
d. Enforce CEQA provisions regarding preservation or salvage of significant
archaeological and paleontological sites discovered during construction activities.
e. Require monitoring of new developments andreporting to the City on completion
of mitigation and resource protection measures (General Plan Implementation
Program 05-26).
CR-2 The City shall enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Eastern Information Center
of the University of California, Riverside to establish procedures for reviewing the
archaeological sensitivity of sites proposed for development (General Plan Implementation
Program 05-37).
CR-3 The City shall continue to implement a historic preservation ordinance in the Old Town area
to protect historically significant buildings, sites, roads/trails, and other landscape elements,
and to encourage their re-use, where appropriate. Preservation of other historic resources
will also be considered (General Plan Implementation Program 05-27).
CR-4 The City will encourage owners of local sites to apply for recognition in the State Historic
Resources Inventory, as Riverside County Landmarks, as State Points of Historic Interest, as
State Landmarks, and as sites on the National Register of Historic Places, as deemed
necessary (General Plan Implementation Program 05-27).
level of Impact after Mitigation
At the time individual development projects proceed, if such excavation or grading uncovers
archaeological resources, developers will be required to comply with CEQA Section 21083.2 and
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 regarding the discovery sensitive archaeological resources.
Generally, excavation/grading activity will have to be temporarily suspended to allow for an
assessment of the resource and appropriate mitigation. Compliance with these existing regulations
for individual development projects will result in less than significant impact.

5.6 Geology/Soils
This section examines whether adoption and implementation of the City of T emecula General Plan
will expose people or structures to hazardous geologic or seismic conditions. 1
Environmental Setting
Geology and Soils
Temecula is located in a natural geomorphic province in southwestern California known as the
Peninsular Range. This range extends north from the tip of Baja California to the San Gabriel
Mountains. This province is characterized by northwest-trending landforms and underlying geologic
structures typical of the series of faults associated with the San Andreas Fault system. The
development of the province began with a thick accumulation of predominantly marine
sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Following this accumulation, in the mid-Cretaceous time, the
province underwent a pronounced episode of mountain building. The thick accumulation of
sedimentary and volcanic rocks was metamorphosed and invaded by igneous intrusions. These
intrusive rocks, Southern California batholiths, now constitute the dominant terrain of the province.
A period of erosion followed the mountain-building episode, during which sedimentary and
subordinate volcanic rocks were deposited on the eroded surface of the batholithic and pre-
batholithic rocks. Marine sediment, which was deposited when the area was under water, overlies
the basement rock.
T emecula is underlain by two relatively weak semi-consolidated sedimentary bedrocks in the hilly
mountainous areas and loose, unconsolidated, often saturated, alluvial sediments in the valleys and
along streams. The sedimentary units in T emecula are composed primarily of granular soils (silty
sand, sand, and gravel) which contain a low to moderately low range for expansion potential.
However, every sedimentary unit in the area contains lenses or layers of fine-grained soils (clays and
silty clays) that are typically in the moderate to highly expansive range. The younger alluvial and
possibly the older alluvial sediments contain strata that are susceptible to collapse. Ground failure,
earth fissures, and surface faults have all been identified within the T emecula Planning Area.

Papers {or fhe T cmecula General Plan are on file with the City and are available for review at the City of T emecula Planning

Geology and Soils
Seismicity
T emecula is located in one of the most seismically active areas of Southern California. Figure 5.6-1
illustrates the seismic hazards in the City of Ternecula Planning Area. The City is traversed by the
Elsinore fault and has historically experienced earthquakes of moderate magnitude. 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, the Laguna Salada fault, ruptured in 1892 in a
magnitude 7.0 earthquake, but the main trace of the Elsinore fault zone has only seen one historical
event greater than magnitude 5.2: the magnitude 6.0 earthquake of 1910 near Temescal Valley,
which produced no known surface rupture and did little damage. Other faults surrounding
Temecula include the San Andreas, San Jacinto, San Gabriel, Newport-Inglewood, Sierra Madre-
Santa Susana-Cucamonga, Rose Canyon, Coronado Banks, San Diego Trough, and San Clemente
Island faults.
The Elsinore fault is designated as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone by the California
Geological Survey. This designation, pursuant to California's Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning
Act (Public Resources Code, Section 2621 et. seq.) limits the types of construction and other
activities that can occur within the Elsinore fault zone to prevent damage associated with ground
surface rupture. Before a project within the fault zone can be permitted by the City, completion of
geologic investigation by a State-licensed engineering geologist is required to demonstrate that the
proposed structure(s) will not be constructed across the fault. If an active fault is found, a structure
for human occupancy cannot be placed over the trace of the fault and must be set back from the
fault.'
The fact that a property is located within an earthquake fault zone must be disclosed to a potential
buyer before the sales process is complete. The real estate agent is legally bound to present this
information to the buyer. When no realtor is involved, the seller must inform the buyer directly.
This is usually done at the time an offer is made or accepted. Effective June 1, 1998, the Natural
Hazards Disclosure Act requires that sellers of real property and their agents provide prospective
buyers with a "Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement" when the property is being sold lies within one
or more State-mapped hazard areas, including Earthquake Fault Zones.'
The County of Riverside has zoned fault systems and required similar special studies prior to
development. These are referred to as County Fault Zones. They generally represent zones that
have been identified from groundwater studies and should be viewed as doubtful. However, until
solid field evidence is generated to prove or disprove their existence, they should continue to be
considered a hazard. The Agua Caliente fault extends from Murrieta Hot Springs southeast to a
matrix in the vicinity of Vail Lake. It is a County Fault Hazard Zone, which means that it is thought
to be either an active or potentially active fault, but requires further study'

Geologic Hazards from Seismic Groundshaking
liquefaction
Liquefaction typically occurs in loose, saturated sediments consisting primarily of sandy composition
in the presence of ground accelerations caused by earthquakes. When liquefaction occurs, the
sediments involved have a total or substantial loss of shear strength and behave like a liquid or semi-
viscous substance. Three general conditions must be met for liquefaction to occur: (1) strong
seismic groundshaking of relatively long duration; (2) loose, or unconsolidated, recently deposited
sediments consisting primarily of silty sand and sand; and (3) water-saturated sediments within
about 50 feet of the surface.
In accordance with the Seismic Safety Mapping Act, the California Geological Survey has evaluated
the liquefaction susceptibility for the T emecula area. Areas near existing stream channels, such as
along the Santa Gertrudis and T emecula Creeks, may be especially vulnerable to liquefaction
because these areas contain loose, recently deposited sediments. Areas subject to liquefaction are
shown in Figure 5.6-15
Subsidence
Strong groundshaking can cause the densification of soils, resulting in local or regional settlement of
the ground surface. During strong groundshaking, soil grains may become more tightly packed due
to the collapse of voids or pore spaces, resulting in a reduction in the thickness of the soil column.
This type of ground failure typically occurs in loose granular, cohesion less soils, and can occur in
either wet or dry conditions. Artificial fills may also experience seismically induced settlement.
Those portions of T emecula that may be susceptible to seismically induced settlement are the
alluvial surfaces and larger drainages that are underlain by late Quarternary alluvial sediments,
similar to the liquefaction-susceptible areas. Sites along the margins of the larger drainage channels
may be particularly vulnerable.
landslides
Strong ground motions can worsen existing unstable slope conditions, particularly if coupled with
saturated ground conditions. Although numerous types of earthquake-induced landslides have
been identified, the most widespread type generally consists of shallow failures involving surficial
soils and the uppermost weathered bedrock in moderate to steep hillside terrain. Rock falls and
rock slides on very steep slopes are also common.
Although no recent landslides have occurred in the area, potential landslide conditions exist in
hillside areas in southwest T emecula where slopes are greater than 15 percent (see Figure 5.6-1).

Geology and Soils
Erosion
Erosion is' the process by which the land surface is carried away through either wind or moving
water. Soils with a low permeability and/or a high amount of runoff are particularly susceptible to
water erosion and soils consisting of fine particles, as well as drained alluvial surfaces, are
susceptible to wind erosion. Erosion removes the smaller and/or lighter soil particles first, which are
typically humus and clay particles, leaving the coarse, sandy soils. The underlying surficial geology
in T emecula is predominantly composed of well-drained fine sandy loams, sandy loams and gravelly
silt loams which are subject to erosion. Soils in exposed areas, particularly those on slopes, are at a
greater risk of erosion than flat surfaces, as indicated on Figure 5.6-1.
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact if it will:
. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving rupture of a known
earthquake fault, strong seismic groundshaking, or seismic-related ground failure, including
landslides and liquefaction,
. Place people or structures on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable and potentially results in on-
or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, expansion, liquefaction or collapse,
. Result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil, or
. Allow development on soils incapable of supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative
wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available.
Environmental Impact
Seismicity
Temecula is located in a seismically active area, as is all of Southern California. Projects developed
pursuant to General Plan land use policies will expose additional people and structures to
groundshaking hazards associated with earthquakes. Any groundshaking that will occur will be
similar throughout the City and is not considered an unusual or unique risk. Per City and State
building codes, all new development will be required to incorporate appropriate design and
construction measures to guard against groundshaking hazards. All projects and structures will be
constructed in compliance with existing seismic safety regulations of the California Uniform Building
Code, which requires the use of site-specific engineering and construction standards identified for
each class of seismic hazard.
The proposed General Plan Public Safety Element includes goals, policies and programs that direct
the City to identify and mitigate adverse impacts of ground surface rupture at the project level, to
apply and enforce seismic design standards and building construction codes for new development,

and to monitor the potential for seismic events. Impact will be less than significant with
implementation of these policies and the implementation programs listed below as, mitigation
measures.
Geologic Hazards from Seismic Groundshaking
Seismic activity along regional faults creates the potential for groundshaking impacts within the
Planning Area. As shown in Figure 5.6-1, portions of the Planning Area are underlain with weak,
semi-consolidated bedrock and loose, unconsolidated and often saturated alluvial sediments. These
soil types have the potential to liquefy or collapse in the event of a major groundshaking event. The
fine-grained components of the bedrock units are potentially expansive. The weak soil, combined
with steep slopes and saturated drainage channels, make areas of T emecula susceptible to
landslides and mudflows.
The General Plan Public Safety Element includes goals, policies and programs that direct the City to
identify and mitigate potential adverse impacts of liquefaction and landslides at the project level, to
apply and enforce seismic design standards and building construction codes for new development,
to work with property owners to remediate hazardous buildings, and to establish development
management techniques to lessen the potential for erosion and landslides. The City requires
geological and geotechnical investigations on properties where new development is proposed and
seismic and geologic hazards are of concern. Liquefaction assessment studies are also required in
areas identified as susceptible to liquefaction. Compliance with General Plan Safety Element goals
and policies and implementation of existing regulations will ensure that impacts can be avoided.
Impact will be less than significant through the application of these policies and continued standard
permit review and building practices.
During the construction phase of development projects consistent with General Plan policies,
grading could subject temporarily expose soil surfaces to erosion through stormwater runoff and
wind. Long-term soil loss could also occur from the increased peak flows and total runoff produced
by paved or landscaped surfaces in the T emecula Planning Area. Uncontrolled flows could result in
scouring or down-cutting of stream channels in sections where runoff velocities and volumes are
high. The General Plan Public Safety Element includes goals, policies, and programs that direct the
City to establish development management techniques to lessen the potential for erosion and
landslides. Nevertheless, development activities may lead to increased erosion or loss of top soil.
Therefore, mitigation measures are required to reduce the impact to a level below significance_
Mitigation Measures
The following measures are necessary to ensure long-term implementation of General Plan policies
aimed at minimizing or avoiding impacts related to geologic hazards and soil conditions.
GS-l The City shall work with the County of Riverside and California Geological Survey to
monitor and compile information on faults located within the Planning Area (General Plan
Implementation Program PS-4).

5.7 Hazards and Hazardous
Materials
This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will create a significant hazard
to the public or the environment through the transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials;
through conditions that may release hazardous materials into the environment, particularly near
schools; or through the development of sites included on State and federal hazardous materials sites
lists. The section also evaluates safety hazards related to airport uses, floodplains, and wildland fires.
Environmental Setting
A hazardous material is a material that because of its quality, concentration or physical or chemical
characteristics poses a significant potential hazard to human health or safety or to the environment.
Such materials may be released through spilling, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging,
injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment.'
Hazardous Materials
Leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) are one of the greatest environmental concerns of the
past several decades. In the 1990s, the State of California's Department of Toxic Substances
Control aggressively pursued a program to identify and force remediation of leaking underground
storage tanks throughout the State. According to the State Regional Water Quality Control Board
(SWRCB) Leaking Underground Fuel Tank database, 23 current open fuel leak cases are
documented in or adjacent to Temecula (Table 5.7-1)2
A majority of the identified contaminated sites are gasoline stations. Fuel leaks from these storage
tanks can result in substantial soil and groundwater contamination. Other LUST cases have been
remediated in compliance with State and federal regulations and are now closed. No site in or
adjacent to the Planning Area is listed on the California Department of Toxic Substances Control
Hazardous Waste and Substances List (Cortese List).'
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Planning Area contains
four facilities producing and releasing air pollutants, 12 facilities with reported toxic releases, 101
facilities with reported hazardous waste activities, and two facilities that have been issued permits to
discharge to waters of the United States' Hazardous materials are used for a variety of purposes,
including service industries, small businesses, schools and households.. Many chemicals used in

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating System (SONGS) is located on the Camp Pendleton u.S.
Marine Corps Base in San Diego County, approximately 25 miles west of Temecula. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the California Office of Emergency Services (OES)
regulate SONGS activity. An Interjurisdictional Planning Committee comprised of several local
jurisdictions coordinates emergency response plans. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has
identified the area surrounding every nuclear generating station as an Emergency Planning Zone
(EPZ). The State of California has defined the area outside and adjacent to the EPZ as a Public

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
County Agricultural Commission, California Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of
Pesticide Regulation are the major enforcement agencies responsible for controlling and monitoring
pesticide use. Both the federal government and the State of California require all businesses that
handie more than a specific amount of hazardous materials or extremely hazardous materials to
submit a business risk management plan to its local Certified Unified Program Agency. Additionally,
the City of T ernecula Multi-Hazard Functional Plan addresses the City's planned response to
extraordinary emergency situations associated with possible hazardous materials incidents.
Flooding
T emecula contains several FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). These areas, corresponding
to the 1 DO-year floodplain, have the potential to become flooded when major rainstorms cause
streams to overflow. Murrieta Creek is the most flood-prone of the T emecula creeks. However,
Temecula Creek, Pechanga Creek, Tucalota Creek, long Valley Wash, and Santa Gertrudis Creek
are also subject to flooding. In addition, three dams located in areas surrounding T emecula have
the potential to impact Temecula in the event of accidental release: lake Skinner Dam, Vail lake
Dam, and Diamond Valley lake Darn. Figure 5.7-1 depicts the potential darn failure and SFHAs
within the Planning Area.
Airports
French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and operated by the County of Riverside.
The airport occupies approximately 261 acres east of Winchester Road. located five miles north of
Temecula's city center and one and one-quarter mile northwest of the city limits, the airport lies
within the City's Sphere of Influence.
As described in Section S.9, Land Use and Planning of this EIR, French Valley Airport is one of 16
airports in Riverside County governed by the Riverside County Airport land Use Commission
(AlUC), which administers the French Valley Airport land Use Compatibility Plan (AlUCP). The
AlUCP's basic compatibility criteria indicate that Zone D prohibits highly noise-sensitive outdoor
nonresidential uses such as amphitheaters and any flight hazards, including physical, visual, and
electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Development projects that
may lead to increased attraction of birds are also prohibited. Additionally, for all structures greater
than 70 feet tall, airspace review is required. Deed notices are also required, and the construction
of children's schools, hospitals, and nursing homes are discouraged. Zone E, within which the
majority of the overlapping portion of T emecula lies, prohibits only hazards to aircraft flight. Other
development conditions include required airspace review for all structures over 100 feet tail.
Construction of major spectator-oriented sports stadiums, amphitheaters, or concert halls is also
discouraged beneath principal flight tracks.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Wildland Fires
Due to climate, topography, and native vegetation, the entire Southern California area is at risk from
wildland fires. The fires that occurred throughout the southland during October of 2003 revealed
the severity of the risk and the devastation that can result The extended droughts characteristic of
California's Mediterranean climate result in large areas of dry vegetation that provide fuel for
wildland fires. The most critical times of year for wildland fires are late summer and fall when Santa
Ana winds bring hot, dry desert air into the region. The air temperature quickly dries vegetation,
thereby increasing the amount of natural fuel. Development pressures increase the threat of
wildland fire on human populations and property as development pushes to the fringes of major
forests and brush areas. Increased human presence in wildland areas likewise increases the
potential for human-induced wildland fires.
The Planning Area is surrounded by rolling foothills and mountains subject to potential natural
wildland fires. The predominant land use in T emecula is low-density residential development. The
Planning Area has experienced rapid development in past decades, and this trend is expected to
continue. As the number of structures increases, so does the incidence of fire. Building conditions
that affect fire control include type and use of structure, area of building; number of stories, roof
covering materials, and adjacent uses.
Certain development patterns pose more difficult fire problems. These include multi-story, wood
frame, high-density apartment development; large continuous developed areas with combustible
roofing materials; and facilities that use and/or store hazardous materials. Several older residential
tracts in the City feature wood shake roofs, which increase the potential for both ignition and
spread of fire.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A'significant impact will occur if implementation of the General Plan will:
.
Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials,
.
Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment,
.
Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or
waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school,
.
Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites,
.
Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam,
.
Result in a safety hazard for people residing or working within two miles of a public airport or
public use airport, or

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
. Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires.
Environmental Impact
Hazardous Materials
Implementation of the General Plan will result in the development of new residential, commercial,
and industrial land uses throughout the Planning Area. In recognition of the potential risks
associated with hazardous materials, the General Plan Public Safety Element includes policies and
implementation programs that direct the City to minimize the risks associated with commercial,
industrial and household use of hazardous materials, to enforce zoning regulations applicable to
businesses that use or manufacture hazardous materials or produce hazardous wastes, to comply
with existing federal, State, and County regulations, including the Riverside County Hazardous
Waste Management Plan.
However, development pursuant to the General Plan could occur on contaminated sites located
throughout the Planning Area as the City continues to urbanize. In accordance with City, State, and
federal requirements, any new development that involves contaminated property will necessitate
the clean up and/or remediation of the property in accordance with applicable federal, State, and
local requirements and regulations. No construction will be permitted to occur at such locations
until a "no further action" or similar determination is issued by the City's Fire Department,
Department of Toxic Substances Control, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and/or other
responsible agency. Compliance with existing regulations will ensure a level of safety to current
standards, and impact will be less than significant.
New development could result in the increased use, transport, and disposal volumes of hazardous
materials within the Planning Area. However, the current regulatory environment provides a high
level of protection from the hazardous materials manufactured within, transported to and stored in
industrial and educational facilities within the Planning Area. The City will continue to enforce
disclosure laws that require all users, producers and transporters of hazardous materials and wastes
to clearly identify the materials that they store, use or transport, and to notify the appropriate City,
county, State and federal agencies in the event of a violation. By recognizing these hazards and
ensuring that an educated public can work with City officials to minimize risks associated with
hazardous materials in the urban environment, the City can maintain safe conditions area-wide.
Compliance with existing regulations will ensure a less than significant impact.
Flooding
Several FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas traverse the Planning Area. These areas, corresponding
to the 100-year floodplain, have the potential to become flooded when major rainstorms cause
streams to overflow. Murrieta Creek is the most flood-prone of the T emecula creeks. T emecula
Creek, Pechanga Creek, T ucalota Creek, Long Valley Wash, and Santa Gertrudis Creek are also
subject to flooding. Lake Skinner Dam is an earthen dam that contains a 43,800 acre-foot surface
reservoir located northeast of Temecula. As shown in Figure 5.7-1, failure of Lake Skinner Dam
could result in flooding along Tucalota Creek and Benton Road. Vail Lake is located east of
Temecula. Dam failure of this Sl,OOO-acre-foot facility could cause flooding in the Pauba and

Temecula Valleys. Interstate 15 and an adjacent three-mile area could also flood. Diamond Valley
Lake, located north of T emecula, is impounded by two earthen dams and is the largest reservoir in
Southern California. Failure of the western dam could result in flooding in the northern parts of the
Planning Area.
Currently, the City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, enforces its Development
Code (Title 17 of the Municipal Code) regulations regarding development in the floodplain and
floodway, and maintains a dam inundation evacuation plan. Compliance with existing federal,
State, and local regulations and plans, including the City's Multi-Hazard Functional Plan, will result in
a less than significant impact.
Airports
French Valley Airport is located within the City of T ernecula Sphere of Influence, east of Winchester
Road. The General Plan proposes new development within the airport area of influence through
creation of the Airport Overlay Ordinance. By establishing an overlay area, the City will be able to
more strictly control development in the French Valley Airport area of influence. Annexations of
. properties in this portion of the French Valley will ensure that the City can regulate development in
accordance with the French Valley Airport CLUP. All land use developrnent entitlernents within the
area of influence must be approved by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission; must
be consistent with the French Valley Airport ALUCP to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare; must ensure continued orderly use of the Airport; and rnust prevent the creation of new
noise and safety problerns. Compliance with the existing ALUCP, which is supported by numerous
policies within the proposed General Plan, will ensure a less than significant impact.
Wildland Fires
Fire in undeveloped areas results from the ignition of accumulated brush and vegetation. The most
critical tirnes of year for wildland fires are late summer and fall when Santa Ana winds bring hot, dry
desert air into the region. The air temperature quickly dries vegetation, thereby increasing the
arnount of natural fuel. Undeveloped areas, such as in the eastern, southern, and southeastern
portions of the Planning Area, have greater fire danger due to expansive areas of vegetation to fuel
a fire. Any new development in the Planning Area, no maller how limited, will expose additional
people and structures to wildland fire hazards.
For these reasons, the City adopted the Hazardous Vegetation Ordinance (City of Temecula
Municipal Code Title 8 Section 16), requiring every property owner to remove all hazardous or
flammable vegetation on the property constituting a fire hazard that may endanger or damage
neighboring property. In addition, the T emecula Fire Department and the County of Riverside Fire
Department sponsor outreach and awareness programs to educate residents about fire dangers and
whey they can do to protect themselves and their homes.
The General Plan Public Safety Element includes policies and implementation programs that direct
the City to reduce the potential for dangerous fires by concentrating development in previously
developed areas where the risk of wildland fire is lower; to protect hillside areas from expansion of
the urban-wildland interface; to encourage residents to plant and maintain drought-resistant, fire-
retardant landscape species on slopes to reduce the risk of brush fire and soil erosion; and to work

5.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will alter eXisting drainage
patterns and create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems. Water supply is addressed in Section 5.14, Utilities and
Service Systems of this EIR. Flooding is discussed in Section 5.7, Hazards and Hazardous Materials.
As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the project will result in a less than significant impact
with regard to water quality standards or dam/levee failure.
Environmental Setting
The Planning Area lies within the San Diego Basin, known as Region 9 of the State of California
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Basin consists of 11 major drainage basins, which
encompass most of San Diego County, parts of southwestern Riverside County, and portions of
southwestern Orange County. Temecula is located within the Santa Margarita Hydrologic Unit,' a
rectangular area of about 750 square miles encompassing portions of Camp Pendleton, as well as
the civilian population centers of Murrieta, T emecula, and portions of Fallbrook in San Diego
County. The unit is drained largely by the Santa Margarita River, Murrieta Creek, and T emecula
River. The only coastal lagoon within the unit is the Santa Margarita Lagoon, which lies entirely
within the Camp Pendleton Naval Reservation of the U.S. Marine Corps.'
Groundwater
The Rancho California Water District (RCWD) and Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD)
provide water services within the Planning Area. Figure 5.8-1 shows the service areas of RCWD
and EMWD. RCWD overlies two major aquifers, the Temecula and the Pauba, which have been
subject to water supply planning since 1980. RCWD's rights to use much the groundwater and the
water stored in Vail Lake are defined in the 1940 Stipulated Judgment in Santa Margarita v. Vail and
Appropriations Permit 7032 issued by the State Water Resources Control Board. RCWD currently
has 52 wells producing potable water. The year 2000 safe yield of the groundwater basin was
estimated by RCWD to be 29,500 acre-feet per year. Peak flow delivery capability from the native
groundwater wells was approximately 44 million gallons per day. To prevent depletion of
groundwater wells, RCWD imports raw water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) and
from the Camp Pendleton Agreement into percolation ponds.3 RCWD also uses recycled water to
irrigate playgrounds, other outdoor recreation areas, selected fodder and liber crops, pastures, and
many other uses.'

Hydrology and Water Quality
EMWD obtains imported water from MWD and draws groundwater from wells located in Hemet
and San Jacinto. EMWD also manages wells in the Moreno Valley, Perris Valley, and Murrieta
areas. EMWD's 24 production wells produce over 17,000 acre-feet per year (af/yr) of native
groundwater. The majority of this supply is produced from groundwater subbasins in the
Hemet/San Jacinto area and is used locally. EMWD produces just over 3,000 af/yr within the Perris
and Perris South subbasins and combines this water with imported sources to meet demand in the
western portions of the District.s EMWD stretches its groundwater supply to the maximum extent
possible through conservation. In addition, under its groundwater management plan, EMWD local
groundwater basins are recharged using State Water Project water from Northern California.6
EMWD also maximizes its supply through a water recycling program.
Surface Hydrology
Surface water consists of water in lakes and streams, as well as runoff resulting from precipitation.
The Santa Margarita River, located west of T emecula, is the primary drainage course within the
Planning Area. The main tributaries of this southwesterly flowing river are T emecula and Murrieta
Creeks. The creeks drain the inland portion of the Santa Margarita River Basin and join with the
Santa Margarita River at T emecula Canyon. The lack of continually flowing water, snowpacks
melting in the summer months, and relatively intense periods of precipitation followed by extended
dry periods result in the seasonal, or intermittent, character of the streams within the City, including
Murrieta Creek, Warm Springs Creek, Tucalota Creek, Santa Gertudis Creek, Long Valley Wash,
T emecula Creek, and Pechanga Creek. During periods of intense precipitation, flooding is known
to occur in T emecula. Thus, stormwater drainage in T emecula is governed by the Riverside County
Flood Control District, Zone 7-'
Flooding problems in the Murrieta Creek watershed are common and related to inadequate
capacity of the existing drainage network, particularly in Old Town. Frequent overtopping of the
Murrieta Creek channel by floodwaters in a number of channel reaches, flood inundation of
structures with attendant damages, and other water-related problems are caused during major
rainstorms, resulting in increased emergency costs, automobile damage, and traffic disruption.
Murrieta Creek has been altered since the late 1800s and has been channelized for flood control
purposes since the 1930s. Restoration of the natural functions of the creek is planned, including the
banks, channel invert, tributaries and floodplain. Several resource agencies, including the U.s. Fish
and Wildlife Service and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have stipulated that Murrieta Creek
is one of the last high-quality, minimally disturbed, riverine environments in Southern California. The
resource agencies have also indicated that prior to the destructive floods of 1993, a much higher
quality riparian environment was associated with the creek in many areas, particularly downstream
of Warm Springs Creek. The ecological resources of Murrieta Creek have been affected by natural
flood events as well as emergency channel repairs and on-going channel maintenance necessary to
provide sufficient flood control for the cities of Murrieta and T emecula-'

Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will occur if implementation of the proposed General Plan will:
. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge,
. Lead to substantial alteration of the existing drainage pattern in the area, including the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off-site, or increase the amount of surface runoff that would result
in flooding on- or off-site, or
. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff.
Environmental Impact
Groundwater
Development pursuant to implementation of the General Plan will result in approximately 25,005
net new residential units and 36 million net new nonresidential square of development within the
Planning Area over the next 20 years. General Plan land use policy establishes land capacity for
Temecula's population to reach 169,184 persons by 2025. As described in Section 5.14, Utilities
and Service Systems, new development pursuant to the General Plan will result in approximately
15,800 af/yr of additional water demand (based on the gallons per day per capita average of
EMWD and RCWD).
To avoid groundwater depletion, a conjunctive use program has been negotiated among RCWD,
EMWD, and Western Municipal Water District to recharge the Murrieta-Ternecula groundwater
basin and other groundwater basins serving the City. A conjunctive use program was developed to
manage the basin, which refers to the planned use of groundwater in conjunction with surface
and/or imported water to optimize total water resources and improve water supply reliability_ In
the winter months, low cost excess State Water Project water is purchased from the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California by the water service providers. This supply can be stored in
local groundwater subbasins to be pumped for later use, thereby increasing supply reliability by
utilizing available groundwater storage. This program allows imported water to be injected into the
basin to ensure maintenance of a minimum level of groundwater within the basin and adequate
supplies of available water without depleting the wells.
As described under Environmental Setting, the 1940 Stipulated Judgment in Santa Margarita v. Vail
and Appropriations Permit 7032 issued by the State Water Resources Control Board establish yearly
s'afe yield groundwater withdrawal amounts for each of the water service providers? The water
master determines the safe annual yield based on annual audits of the groundwater basin, including
how much water was withdrawn from and recharged to the aquifer. Water service providers must

purchase imported water or utilize recycled water supplies based on the water master's yearly
determination. Compliance with these existing agreements will ensure a less than significant impact
on groundwater resources.
To further ensure that groundwater supplies will not be impacted by future development pursuant
to implementation of the General Plan, mitigation measures, although not required, are
recommended to guarantee that the City work with RCWD and EMWD to investigate additional
measures to maintain supply and prevent groundwater depletion.
To maintain the maximum level of water available for use and to ensure the quality of its potable
water supply, RCWD protects its groundwater sources from two primary sources of contamination:
septic tanks and underground storage tanks. Portions of the City and Planning Area are not
connected to the sewer system and use conventional septic tanks and subsurface disposal systems
for the disposal of wastewaterW These include areas that are designated Vineyard/Agriculture,
Rural, and Very Low Density Residential in the proposed Land Use Element. Underground storage
tanks are typically associated with gas stations, as described in Section 5.7, Hazards and Hazardous
Materia/s. The location of septic systems and underground storage tanks in soils with excessive
permeability or shallow water tables might allow pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and hazardous
chemicals and solvents to enter the groundwater. These areas have been designated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as Zone A Wellhead Protection Areas in accordance with
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996." Since the General Plan allows for
new development within Zone A of the EPA wellhead protection area, impact could be significant.
Mitigation measures have been included that require all proposed development projects using
septic tanks and subsurface disposal systems for the disposal of wastewater to provide detailed
geotechnical analysis of the project site and siting recommendations that will ensure no impact to
potable water production wells.
Surface Water
Construction of new housing units and commercial and industrial projects throughout the Planning
Area, especially on currently undeveloped lots, will increase the amount of impervious surfaces,
thereby increasing the amount and speed of runoff. Development projects implementing General
Plan land use policy will affect drainage systems throughout the Planning Area. New development
will result in greater areas of impervious surface such as streets, roofs, sidewalks, and parking lots.
The absorption rate for impervious surfaces is less than the rate for natural lands. Instead of being
absorbed into the ground, stormwater on impervious surfaces is conveyed into local surface streams
and improved channels. Increased runoff volumes and speeds may create nuisance flooding in
areas lacking adequate drainage facilities.
To ensure that adequate flood control capacity is available to support new development, all
proposed development projects within the Planning Area are reviewed by the Riverside County
Flood Control District prior to approval by the City of Temecula or Riverside County. New
development projects are required to provide on-site drainage and to pay area drainage fees of
$2,291 per acre of development. Drainage fee revenues are used to support capacity expansion

The City will work with the water districts to promote water conservation and ultimately
reduce the demand for peak-hour water supply wastewater capacity, review the
adopted Uniform Building Code, and require water conservation measures to reduce
water consumption. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, the use of
plumbing fixtures that reduce water use, low-flow toilets, drip irrigation systems, and
xeriscape landscaping that maximizes the use of drought-tolerant plant species (General
Plan Implementation Program 05-4).
The City shall review individual development projects to ensure that adequate
stormwater detention facilities are provided to accommodate surface water runoff
generated by the project, and where needed, incorporate detention of stormwater
runoff at the point of origin (General Plan Implementation Program 05-6).
The City will require drought-tolerant landscaping in new development and where

5.9 Land Use and Planning
This section examines whether implementation of the City of T emecula General Plan will conflict
with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the
Temecula Planning Area. The General Plan was found to conflict with the Western Riverside
County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, the impacts and mitigation measures of which
are addressed in Section S.4, Biological Resources. As discussed in the Initial Study (Appendix A to
this EIR), implementation of the General Plan will not result in physical division of an established
community.
Environmental Setting
A number of plans, policies, and regulations have been adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over
properties within the T emecula Planning Area. These plans and programs, administered by federal,
State, County and other local agencies, have been adopted to guide growth and development,
protect resources, and guard against creation of land use conflicts.
Riverside County Southwest Area Plan
The Southwest Area Plan (SWAP), originally adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors
in November, 1989 as a part of the Riverside County Comprehensive General Plan, was updated as
part of the Riverside County Integrated Program (RClP) effort in 2003. The SWAP applies to
unincorporated lands surrounding T emecula, within its sphere of influence, as indicated in Figure
5.9-1. Within the French Valley portions of the Planning Area, the SWAP generally calls for rural,
low-, and low-medium density residential development, supported by neighborhood commercial
and light industrial uses. Within the southern and western portions of the unincorporated Planning
Area, the SWAP generally calls for rural and hillside residential development, along with
conservation of resource lands in the southeastern portion of the Planning Area.
Temecula Development Code and Riverside County Zoning Ordinance
The T emecula Development Code (Municipal Code Title 17) establishes zoning districts and
regulations applicable to properties in the City and based upon General Plan land use policy. The
Development Code includes zoning regulations, subdivision regulations, environmental review
procedures, and the sign code. Development Code regulations and maps must be consistent with
the land uses, policies, and implementation programs of the General Plan. Areas within the
Planning Area that lie beyond the City limits are subject to provisions of the Riverside County
Zoning Ordinance.

Land Use and Planning
Temecula Redevelopment Plan
Prior to Temecula's incorporation in 1989, the County of Riverside established a Redevelopment
Project Area pursuant to California Community Redevelopment law to eliminate blight within
designated areas. Generally, the Redevelopment Project Area centers on the 1-15 corridor and
includes the Promenade Mall, Old Town, and industrial and business park areas west of the freeway
between Winchester and Rancho California Roads, as shown in Figure 5.9-2. When established,
the Project Area encompassed sections of the community with conditions, such as abandoned
buildings, substandard housing, empty parcels, and vandalism, which could impede the City's
economic growth.
After incorporation, T emecula assumed responsibility for administering the Redevelopment Project
Area. With the adoption of Assembly Bill 1290, the T emecula Redevelopment Agency has
prepared an implementation plan for the area. The Redevelopment Plan is one of the tools the City
uses to implement land Use Element policies.
Riverside County Airport land Use Compatibility Plan Policy Document -
French Valley Airport
French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and operated by the County of Riverside.
The airport occupies approximately 261 acres east of Winchester Road. The airport is located five
miles north of Temecula's city center and one and one-quarter rnile northwest of the City limits
within the City's sphere of influence.
French Valley Airport is one of 16 airports in Riverside County governed by the Riverside County
Airport land Use Commission (AlUC). In April 2004, the AlUC adopted the Riverside County
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy Document, which establishes policies applicable
to land use compatibility planning in the vicinity of airports throughout Riverside County, including
compatibility criteria and maps for the influence areas of individual airports. Figure 5.9-3 shows the
French Valley Airport land use compatibility zone as adopted by the Airport land Use Commission
on November 18, 2004.
The Compatibility Plan also establishes procedural requirements for compatibility review of
development proposals. The basic function of airport land use compatibility plans is to promote
compatibility between airports and the land uses that surround them. Compatibility plans serve as a
tool for airport land use commissions in reviewing proposed development plans for airports and
surrounding land uses. Additionally, compatibility plans establish criteria for local agencies to use
when preparing or amending land use plans and ordinances and for landowners (including special
district and other local government entities as well as private parties) to use when designing new
development projects.'

Land Use and Planning
State law requires each local agency having jurisdiction over land uses within an ALUCs planning
area to modify its general plan and any affected specific plans to be consistent with the
compatibility plan, or to overrule the ALUC by a two-thirds vote of its governing body after making
findings that the agency's plans are consistent with the intent of State airport land use planning
statutes.' The ALUCP for the French Valley Airport has been adopted to protect the public health,
safety and welfare, ensure continued orderly use of the airport, and prevent the creation of new
noise and safety problems.
In addition, the following City actions are subject to ALUC advisory review, should they occur
within the French Valley Airport area of influence:'
. Actions affecting land uses within any compatibility zone.
. Proposed expansion of the City's sphere of influence.
. Proposed pre-zoning associated with future annexation.
. Proposed development agreements or amendments to such agreements.
. Proposed residential development, including land divisions, consisting of five or
more dwelling units or parcels.
. Discretionary development proposals for projects having a building floor area of
20,000 square feet or greater.
. Major capital improvements (e.g., water, sewer, or roads) which would promote
urban uses in undeveloped or agricultural areas to the extent that such uses are not
reflected in a previously reviewed general or specific plan.
. Proposed land acquisition by a government entity for any facility accommodating a
congregation of people (for example, a school or hospital).
. Any off-airport, non-aviation use of land within Compatibility Zone A of the airport.
. Proposals for new development (including buildings, antennas, and other structures)
having a height of more than:
o 3S feet within Compatibility Zone B1, B2, or a Height Review Overlay Zone;
o 70 feet within Compatibility Zone C; or
o 150 feet within Compatibility Zone D or E.
. Any obstruction reviewed by the Federal Aviation Administration in accordance with
Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations that receives a finding of anything other
than "not a hazard to air navigation."
. Any project having the potential to create electrical or visual hazards to aircraft in
flight, including:
o Electrical interference with radio communications or navigational signals;
o Lighting which could be mistaken for airport lighting;
o Glare in the eyes of pilots of aircraft using the airport; and
o Impaired visibility near the airport.
. Projects that may potentially attract birds or other wildlife hazardous to aircraft
operations increased within the vicinity of an airport.
. Proposed non-aviation development of airport property.
. Regardless of location, any proposal for construction or alteration of a structure
(including antennas) taller than 200 feet above the ground level at the site.
. Any other proposed land use action, as determined by the City, involving a question
of compatibility with airport activities.

Temecula Capital Improvement Program
Temecula's Capital Improvement Program (OP) serves as a planning tool for coordinating the
financing and scheduling of major projects to be undertaken by the City. These projects generally
include land and right-ofway acquisition; design, construction or rehabilitation of public buildings,
facilities, and parks; public infrastructure design and construction; and redevelopment projects.
Some projects are included which are not capital improvements per se, but are being considered
for allocation of redevelopment tax increment funds. The Capital Improvement Program is used in
the preparation of the land Use and Circulation Elements, as well as other elements of the General
Plan.
Southern California Association of Governments
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is responsible for most regional
planning in Southern California. SCAG has been preparing long-range growth and development
plans for the Southern California region since the early 1970s as part of the ongoing Development
Guide Program. This program provides a framework to coordinate local and regional decisions
regarding future growth and development. An important component of this process is the
preparation of growth forecasts at intervals ranging from three to five years.
The adopted growth forecasts become the basis for SCAG's functional plans (transportation,
housing, air and water) for the region. The population totals and growth distribution are used to
plan the future capacity of highways and transit systems, quantity and location of housing, water
supply, and siting and sizing of sewage treatment systems.
SCAG has developed a Growth Management Plan that recommends methods to redirect regional
growth to minimize traffic congestion and better protect environmental quality. While SCAG has
no authority to mandate implementation of the Growth Management Plan, the Plan's goals have
implications upon the land use composition of the T emecula Planning Area.
Riverside County local Agency Formation Commission
Provisions of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 are
applied by the Riverside County local Agency Formation Commission (lAFCO) in making decisions
regarding future City annexations of land within the T ernecula sphere of influence (SOl) and to any
reorganization of other service districts within Temecula's sphere of influence. The Commission's
efforts are directed to seeing that services are provided efficiently and economically, while
protecting agricultural and open space lands.
California Water Code Sections 10910-10915
Sections 10910-10915 of the California Wat~r Code identify consultation, noticing, and water
supply assessment and provision requirements for proposed projects meeting specific criteria
identified in Sections 10910 and 10913 of the Code. The City must consult with local and regional
water agencies to assess whether the water demand associated with the project is included in an
agency's most recent Urban Water Management Plan, and whether existing supplies can meet the
project's demand for water. Based on the entire record, the City will determine within an EIR
CITY OF TEMECULA
ENVIRONMENTAL !MPACT REPORT
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
5.9-7
Land Use and Planning
whether projected water supplies available during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry water years
will be sufficient to satisfy the demands of the proposed project, in addition to existing and planned
future uses.
Specific Plans
Many areas within the City and Planning Area are subject to the plans, policies and implementation
measures of currently adopted or anticipated future specific plans. The purpose of specific plans is
to provide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent with the General Plan. Twenty-five
specific plans or areas subject to future specific plans have been identified T emecula Planning Area
properties which, because of size, location, and/or special development opportunities, require a
coordinated and comprehensive planning approach. In specific plan areas of 100 or more acres,
approval of a specific plan is required prior to approval of any discretionary land use entitlement or
issuance of any building or grading permit. In some areas, Village Center Plans, which allow greater
intensities, can also be used. Planned development overlays can be used for smaller areas.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact if it will conflict with any
applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.
Regarding the ALUCP, a general plan must do two things in order to be considered consistent with
the ALUCP: .
.
Address compatibility planning issues, either directly or through reference to a zoning ordinance
or other policy document, or
.
Avoid direct conflicts with compatibility planning criteria.
Environmental Impact
Implementation of the proposed General Plan may conflict with other land use plans and policies
that apply within the Planning Area. Potential conflicts are described below.

Land Use and Planning
Southwest Area Plan
The updated Southwest Area Plan envisions substantial amounts of new development surrounding
Temecula. The City's General Plan land Use Policy Map incorporates the Southwest Area Plan
(SWAP) recommended uses for unincorporated areas, and no direct conflicts result. However,
development in unincorporated areas pursuant to the SWAP, particularly within the French Valley
area, will result in significant impacts on traffic, air quality, and resources that are beyond the City's
ability to control.
Temecula's primary opportunity to control phasing of development, project design, and
infrastructure improvements is by annexing properties into the City prior to project approvals by the
County. Through annexation, the City can ensure that new development projects are designed in a
manner that reduces traffic, air quality and resource impacts, and are compatible with overall City
economic and quality of life objectives. Without annexation, projects would continue to be
approved by the County, and may not adequately reduce impacts to the City's roadway
infrastructure and natural resources to the extent that they would if under the City's jurisdiction, fully
subject to policies and implementation programs within the General Plan.
Thus, the City has developed a land use plan for the French Valley Area (shown on the proposed
land Use Policy Map), and has designated this area as a Future Growth Area. This part of the land
use plan is substantially similar to the County General Plan in this area. The intent of these steps is
to ensure that future annexations are beneficial additions to the City, and to minimize impacts of
future development in the area on City roads and infrastructure. Therefore, a mitigation measure is
included that describes annexation requirements for surrounding areas.
Temecula Development Code and Riverside County Zoning Ordinance
Proposed General Plan may conflict with provisions of the current City Development Code and
Riverside County Zoning Ordinance, particularly with regard to land use designation/zoning
consistency. For example, areas designated on the land Use Policy Map as Rural Residential or
Vineyards/Agricultural conflict with current zoning, as these are new designations and do not have
corresponding zoning districts within the City's Development Code.
Mitigation measures are included that require the City to review and update the Development
Code to be consistent with the updated General Plan. Also, whenever the City annexes lands
rezoning will occur to achieve General Plan/zoning consistency. Impact can be reduced to a less
than significant level with these actions.
Temecula Redevelopment PIon
The T emecula Redevelopment Plan includes a set of goals and objectives to guide the revitalization
efforts for the project area, as described under Environmental Setting. The Redevelopment Project
Area encompasses sections of the community with conditions that often impede the City's
development, as they contain abandoned buildings, substandard housing, empty parcels, and
evidence of neglect and vandalism. Redevelopment activities for the area range from public
improvements such as sidewalks, traffic signals, and crosswalks, to commercial, industrial, and
residential renovation incentives. Other activities include acquisition and combination of land for
CITY OF TEMECULA
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

Land Use and Planning
various types of development. The goal of these activities is to facilitate physical and economic
enhancement of the area.
The General Plan includes three Mixed-Use Overlay Areas, identified within the Land Use Element
of the proposed General Plan, that apply within the Temecula Redevelopment Project Area. In
some cases, the Overlay Areas provide for the addition of residential units within existing shopping
centers. On other properties, new mixed-use projects will be constructed. In both scenarios,
residential units will likely be introduced within the Redevelopment Project Area, and development
intensity may increase.
The Redevelopment Plan does not address mixed-use development, as it was adopted prior to
consideration of such development methods. However, the General Plan goal to promote mixed
commercial, office, and residential development projects at key locations surrounding the 1-15
corridor4do not directly conflict with the goals and intentions of the Redevelopment Plan. Although
the Redevelopment Plan does not explicitly call for mixed-use development, implementation of
General Plan policies within the Redevelopment Area will complement current redevelopment
goals and further encourage the growth and development that the Redevelopment Plan seeks. Infill
development will support the original goals of the City Redevelopment Plan and help to attain the
goal of facilitating economic growth and physical enhancement of blighted areas.
The General Plan Implementation Program calls for the Redevelopment Plan to be updated to
establish consistency with the General plan policies and amended Development Code. This
Implementation Program is included as a mitigation measure to require the Redevelopment Agency
to revise the Redevelopment Plan. Impact will be less than significant with implementation of this
measure.
Riverside County Airport land Use Compatibility Plan Policy Document -
French Valley Airport
The ALUCP for French Valley Airport establishes an area of influence surrounding the Airport, as
illustrated in Figure 5.9-4. As indicated on the map, compatibility zones "D" and "E" cover
properties within Temecula. The Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Policy
Document's Compatibility Criteria for Land Use Actions section, relevant components of which are
discussed below, delineates the criteria for assessing whether a land use plan, ordinance, or
development proposal is to be judged compatible with a nearby airport.
As indicated in Table 5.9-1, the Basic Compatibility Criteria indicate that Zone D prohibits highly
noise-sensitive outdoor nonresidential uses, such as amphitheaters, and any flight hazards, including
physical, visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations.
Development projects that may increase attraction of birds are also prohibited. Additionally, for all
structures greater than 70 feet tall, airspace review is required. The construction of children's
schools, hospitals, and nursing homes are discouraged. All properties within Zone D are required to
have recorded deeds reflecting these restrictions to alert potential property owners of the
restrictions.

Notes: J Two options are provided for residential densities in Compatibility Zone D. Option (1) has a density limit of 0.2 dwelling
units per acre (i.e., an average parcel size of at least 5.0 gross acres). Option (2) requires that the density be greater than 5.0
dwelling units per acre (i.e., an average parcel size less than 0.2 gross acres). The choice between these two options is at the
discretion of the local land use jurisdiction. See Table 28 {in Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Policy
Document} for explanation of rationale. All other criteria for Zone 0 apply to both options.
2. Examples of highly noise-sensitive outdoor nonresidential uses that should be prohibited include amphitheaters and drive-in
theaters. Caution should be exercised with respect to uses such as poultry farms and nature preserves.
3 Hazards to flight include physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft
operations. land use development that may cause the attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited.
4 This height criterion is for general guidance. Shorter objects normally will not be airspace obstructions unless situated at a
ground elevation well above that of the airport. Taller objects may be acceptable jf determined not be obstructions.
5 Discouraged uses should generally not be permitted unless no feasible alternative is available.
f. Although no explicit upper limit on usage intensity is defined for Zone E, land uses of the types listed-uses that attract very high
concentrations of people in confined areas-are discouraged in locations below or near the pHncipal arrival and departure flight
tracks. This limitation notwithstanding, no use shall be prohibited in Zone E if its usage intensity is such that it would be permitted
in Zone D.

Zone E, which affects the majority of the overlapping portion of T emecula, prohibits only hazards to
aircraft flight. Other development conditions include required airspace review for all structures over
100 feet tall. The construction of major spectator-oriented sports stadiums, amphitheaters, and
concert halls are also discouraged beneath principal flight tracks.
According to the Compatibility Plan:
State law requires each local agency having jurisdiction over land uses within an AlUCs
planning area to modify its general plan and any affected specific plans to be consistent with
the compatibility plan. The law says that the local agency must take this action within 180
days of when the AlUC adopts or amends its plan. The only other course of action
available to local agencies is to overrule the AlUC by a two-thirds vote of its governing
body after making findings that the agency's plans are consistent with the intent of state
airport land use planning statutes. Additionally, the local agency must notify both the AlUC
and the California Division of Aeronautics at least 4S days in advance of its decision to
overrule and must hold a public hearing on the proposed overruling (Public Utilities Code
Section 21676[aJ and [b]}5
Accordingly, the General Plan includes the following goal, policy, and implementation program to
assure that implementation of the Plan will not adversely impact French Valley airport operations:
Goal 8:
A City compatible and coordinated with regional land use and transportation
, patterns.
Policy 8.3

Implementation of the above policies and programs will ensure that development pursuant to the
General Plan within the French Valley Airport area of influence does not conflict with the current
French Valley Airport CLUP. Implementation Program LU-24 is required as a mitigation measure to
ensure consistency between the General Plan and CLUP. Impact will be less than significant with
implementation of this measure.
Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide
The SCAG Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide (RCPG) contains policies applicable to the
General Plan, as discussed below. The RCPG policies are numbered.
Growth Management
3.01 The population, housing and jobs forecasts, which are adopted by SCAG's Regional
Council, and that reflect local plans and policies shall be used by SCAG in all phases of
implementation and review.
This policy and any environmental impacts are addressed in Section 5.11 Population and Housing of
this EIR.
3.03 The tIming, financing, and location of public facilities, utility systems, and transportation
systems shall be used by SCAG to implement the region's growth policies.
Policies and programs contained in the Land Use, Circulation, Growth Management/Public Facilities
Elements and elsewhere throughout the General Plan address the timing, financing, and location of
public facilities, utility systems, and transportation systems. In addition, the Growth
Management/Public Services Element includes Implementation Programs that require the City to
participate in the preparation of plans and programs that address regional issues and partnerships
with regional agencies when planningjdesigning facilities and services for new developments. The
General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.03.
3.05 Encourage patterns of urban development and land use that reduce costs on infrastructure
construction and make better use of existing facilities.
3.09 Support local jurisdictions' efforts to minimize the cost of infrastructure and public service
delivery and efforts to seek new sources of funding for development and the provision of
services.
The General Plan Growth Management/Public Facilities Element includes a Growth Management
Program that establishes guidelines for phasing and financing needed public facilities and
infrastructure concurrent with and in anticipation of development. Growth Management/Public
Facilities Element policies and implementation programs direct the City to require development
projects to pay their fair share of the costs of facilities and services related to growth, to encourage
mixed-use developments that reduce public service costs, and to establish priority growth areas
within the City and sphere of influence where near-term urbanization will be encouraged. Thus, the
General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policies 3.05 and 3.09.

Land Use and Planning
3.10 Support local jurisdictions' actions to minimize red tape and expedite the permitting process
to maintain economic vitality and competitiveness.
land Use and Economic Development Element policies direct the City to encourage flexible zoning
techniques in appropriate locations to encourage mixed use development, and to encourage the
growth or relocation of industries that generate local tax and employment advantages. The General
Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.10.
3.12 Encourage existing or proposed local jurisdictions' programs aimed at designing land uses
which encourage the use of transit and thus reduce the need for roadway expansion, reduce
the number of auto trips and vehicle miles traveled, and create opportunities for residents to
walk and bike.
land Use and Circulation Element policies and implementation programs direct the City to
encourage the use and expansion of transit. Additionally, Circulation and Open
Space/Conservation Element policies direct the City to implement the recently adopted Multi-Use
Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, which will result in design and construction of a comprehensive
alternative transportation network. Implementation programs within these elements require the City
to promote safe use of the trail system and to ensure accessibility of pedestrian facilities to the
elderly and disabled. The General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.12.
3.13 Encourage local jurisdictions' plans that maximize the use of existing urbanized areas
accessible to transit through infill and redevelopment.
The land Use Plan directs the City to encourage development of high-quality, well-designed mixed
use residential and commercial projects within three Mixed Use Overlay areas adjacent to the 1-15
corridor. Although no regional commuter rail system or activity center is currently located within
T emecula, implementation of the General Plan will create opportunities for increased density in
areas surrounding local activity centers. Circulation Element policies direct the City to identify and
reserve necessary rights-of-way for future regional transit lines and facilities, and to encourage the
provision of regional public transportation services and support facilities, particularly near the 1-15
freeway and within Mixed Use Overlay areas. Implementation programs direct the City to work
with regional planning agencies to ensure that the Mixed Use Overlay areas are linked to any future
commuter or high-speed rail service connecting T emecula to other parts of the region. The General
Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.13.
3.16 Encourage developments in and around activity centers, transportation corridors,
underutilized infrastructure systems, and areas needing recycling and redevelopment.
The land Use Plan directs the City to encourage development of mixed commercial, office, and
residential development projects at key locations surrounding the 1-15 corridor. This approach
complements' and builds upon the Village Center development strategy employed in T emecula
throughout the 1990s, where concentrations and mixtures of compatible retail, office, public
facilities, open space, and housing are encouraged at activity nodes located throughout the City.
The General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.16.

Policies and programs within the General Plan lay the foundation for developing a sustainable
community. Goals and policies reinforced by implementation programs are designed to encourage
energy conservation and facilitate equal access to housing opportunities, public education,
recreational facilities, law enforcement and fire protection. Implementation of the General Plan will
not impede access by any members of society to health care and social or other services. The
General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 3.27.
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
SCAG's RTP includes several policies relevant to Temecula, as discussed below.
1. Transportation investments shall be based on SCAG's adopted Regional Performance
Indicators: Mobility, Accessibility, Reliability, Safety, Cost Effectiveness, Productivity,
Sustain ability, Preservation, Environmental, and Environmental Justice.
The land Use and Circulation Elements contain policies and implementation programs that assist
implementation of the RTP. The City has established policies to maintain and improve local and
regional roadways, encourage use of alternative transportation options, and facilitate expanded use
of non-vehicular transportation options. The General Plan is consistent with this RTP policy.
2. Ensuring safety, adequate maintenance, and efficiency of operations on the existing multi-
modal transportation system will be RTP priorities and will be balanced against the need for
system expansion investments.
The Circulation Element includes policies and implementation programs that direct the City to
prioritize safety, maintenance and efficiency of the roadway system and alternative transportation
modes, in addition to expanding capacity. Circulation Element policies direct the City to enforce
vehicle speed restrictions, to minimize conflicts between off-street bicycle and equestrian trails and
automobile cross-traffic, and to actively monitor the capacity of critical intersections within the City
and prioritize improvement of those intersections when needed. The proposed General Plan is
consistent with this RTP policy.
3. RTP land use and growth strategies that differ from currently expected trends will require a
collaborative implementation program that identifies required actions and policies by all
affected agencies and sub-regions.

enhanced use of telecommunications, provision of community based shuttle services,
provision of demand management based programs, or vehicle-miles-traveledjemission fees)
so that options to command and control regulations can be addressed.
The Air Quality Element includes policies and implementation programs that direct the City to
support regional transit initiatives including the development of high-speed rail service, to promote
the use of alternative work weeks, flextime, telecommuting, work-at-home programs, employee
rideshare and transit incentives, and use of alternative fueled vehicles as methods of improving
regional air quality. The General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 5.07.
5.11 Through the environmental document review process, ensure that plans at all levels of
government (regional, air basin, County, subregional, and local) consider air quality, land
use, transportation and economic relationships to ensure consistency and minimize
conflicts.
The General Plan supports this policy by establishing policies and programs which will require
analysis of air quality impacts on a project-by-project basis as part of the development and
environmental review process. These issues related to implementation of the General Plan itself are
analyzed throughout this EIR. The General Plan is consistent with RCPG Policy 5.11.

Growth Visioning
Principle 1: Improve mobility for all residents.
. Encourage transportation investments and land use decisions that are mutually supportive.
. Locate new housing near existing jobs and new jobs near existing housing.
. Encourage transit-oriented development.
. Promote a variety of travel choices.
,
The Circulation Element Roadway Plan is directly responsive to the Land Use Plan put forth in the
Land Use Element. The Circulation Element includes policies and programs that direct the City to
use the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process to program, finance, and construct
roadway improvements identified in the Circulation Element.
Land Use Element policy supports provision of new housing near existing employment centers in
T emecula. The Plan also identifies three Mixed Use Overlay areas surrounding the 1-1 S corridor that
can accommodate approximately 2,245 additional housing units, if vehicle trip caps associated with
these projects (identified within the Land Use Element) can be met. This approach complements
and builds upon the village center development strategy employed in T emecula throughout the
1990s, where concentrations and mixtures of compatible retail, office, public facilities, open space,
and housing are encouraged at activity nodes located throughout the City.
Although no regional commuter rail system is currently located within Temecula, implementation of
the General Plan creates opportunities for increased density in areas surrounding local activity
centers. Circulation Element policies direct the City to identify and reserve necessary rights-of-way
for future regional transit lines and facilities, and to encourage the provision of regional public
transportation services and support facilities, particularly near the 1-15 freeway and within Mixed
Use Overlay areas. Implementation programs direct the City to work with regional planning

Growth Visioning Principle 4.
As stated in the above discussion, the General Plan is consistent with the Regional Comprehensive
Plan and Guide administered by SCAG. Impact is less than significant. No mitigation is required.
Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission
Development pursuant to the General Plan may result in annexations of lands, as well as additional
public service needs in areas located within Temecula's sphere of influence, particularly within the
French Valley Future Growth Area identified in the Land Use Element. In addition, reorganization of
service districts within the sphere of influence may be necessary to provide the required services
efficiently and effectively, in keeping with General Plan policies expressed the Growth
Management/Public Facilities Element. Such activities may conflict with established Riverside
County LAFCO plans and priorities. This represents a significant impact, and mitigation is required.
Mitigation measures have been included that: 1) describe annexation requirements for surrounding
areas, and 2) require the City to cooperate with Riverside County LAFCO and the County of
Riverside to direct growth outside the City limits to the French Valley Future Growth Area, on lands
that are served or are planned to be served with a full range of urban services, such as public water
and sewer, local and regional road networks demonstrating adequate capacity, safety and
emergency response services, parks, trails and open spaces. Impact will be less than significant with
implementation of these measures.
California Water Code Sections 10910-10915
In compliance with California Water Code Section 10910-10915, all future development projects
pursuant to the proposed General Plan that meet criteria specified in the law are required to
determine whether projected water supplies available during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry
water years will be sufficient to satisfy demands of the proposed project, in addition to existing and
planned future uses. No major development project will be permitted to proceed unless required
determinations can be made. Compliance with existing regulations will minimize the potential for
impact.
Specific Plans
Development pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Element could be inconsistent with some of
the development standards outlined in currently adopted specific plans, particularly those under the
jurisdiction of the County of Riverside within the City's sphere of influence.
To avoid conflict, mitigation measures are included that: 1) describe annexation requirements for
surrounding areas, 2) require the City to periodically review and update the General Plan Land Use
Policy Map, and to review and update the Development Code and Specific Plans to be consistent
with the updated General Plan and 3) require the City to continue to implement the procedures,
requirements, and contents of specific plans contained in the Development Code. Impact will be

5. 10 Noise
This section examines whether long-term implementation of the General Plan will generate or
expose persons to noise levels in excess of City standards, or create a substantial permanent or
periodic increase in ambient noise within the Planning Area.
Appendix E includes detailed noise measurement worksheets compiled by Wieland Associates that
provide the basis for the following analysis.
Environmental Setting
The T emecula Planning Area experiences typical urban noises, such as noise generated by traffic,
heavy machinery, and day-to-day outdoor activities. Noise in the community is the cumulative
effect of noise from transportation activities and stationary sources. Transportation noise refers to
noise from automobile use, trucking, airport operations and rail operations. Stationary noise refers
to noise from sources such as commercial establishments, machinery, air conditioning systems,
compressors, and landscape maintenance equipment. Regardless of the type of noise, the noise
levels are highest near the source and decrease with distance.
Noise Standards
Noise is most often defined as unwanted sound. Although sound can be measured, perceptibility is
subjective and the physical response to sound complicates the analysis of its impact on people.
People judge the relative magnitude of sound sensation in subjective terms such as "noisy" or
"loud." Sound magnitude is measured and quantified using a logarithmic ratio of pressures, the
scale of which gives the level of sound in decibels (dB). The human hearing system is not equally
sensitive to sound at all frequencies. Therefore, to approximate this human, frequency-dependent
response, the A-weighting filter system is used to adjust measured sound levels and is expressed as
dBA.
Noise consists of pitch, loudness, and duration; therefore, it is difficult to describe noise with a
single unit of measure. Federal and State agencies have established noise and land use
compatibility guidelines that use averaging approaches to noise measurement. Two measurement
scales commonly used in California are the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) and the day-
night level (Ldo). To account for increased human sensitivity at night, the CNEL level includes a five
dB penalty on noise during the 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. time period and a ten dB penalty on noise
during the 10;00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. time period. The Ldo level includes only the ten dB weighting for
late-night noise. These values are nearly identical for all but unusual noise sources.
In 1974, the California Commission on Housing and Community Development adopted noise
insulation standards for residential buildings (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations). Title
24 establishes standards for interior room noise attributable to outside noise sources. Title 24 also
specifies that acoustical studies be prepared whenever a residential building or structure is
proposed to be located within exterior CNEL or Ldo contours of 60 dB or greater attributable to an
existing or adopted freeway, expressway, parkway, major street, thoroughfare, rail line, rapid transit

designed to limit intruding noise to an interior CNEL or Ld" of 45 dB. Table 5.10-1 outlines the

2. Indoor standard with windows closed. Mechanical ventilation would be provided per UBC requirements to
provide a habitable environment.
3. Indoor environment excluding bathrooms, toilets, closets, and corridors.
4. Outdoor environment limited to rear yard of single-family homes, multi-family patios and balconies (with a
depth of 6' or more) and common recreation areas.
5. Outdoor environment limited to playground areas, picnic area, and other areas of frequent human use.
County of Riverside General Plan Noise Element
Properties within the unincorporated portion of the Planning Area are subject to the Riverside
County Noise Element, which establishes parameters for compatibility of noise and various land
uses, and the location of new development. For new residential construction, exterior noise must
be reduced to 65 dB or less, and interior noise must be reduced to 45 dB or less.
City of Temecula Noise Control Ordinance
The City has adopted the County of Riverside Noise Control Ordinance (No. 457.73), which
establishes interior and exterior noise standards for residential areas. The ordinance provides
controls for excessive and annoying noise from stationary sources such as industrial plants, pumps,
compressors and refrigeration units. In addition, specific noise standards for daytime and nighttime

I
The Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) is responsible for land use planning
around the French Valley Airport, located within the Temecula Planning Area. The ALUC regulates
the area of influence around the airport according to noise regulations set forth in the French Valley
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
Sensitive land Uses
Noise is particularly problematic when noise-sensitive land uses are affected. Noise.sensitive land
uses are defined as uses supporting activities that are interrupted by noise such as residences,
schools, hospitals, religious facilities, and recreation areas. Noise-sensitive land uses in T emecula
are identified in Figure 5.10-1.
The City uses land use compatibility standards when planning and making development decisions.
Table 5.10-2 summarizes City noise standards for each land use designation defined in the Land
Use Element and shown on the Land Use Policy Map. The standards represent the maximum
acceptable exterior noise level, as measured at the property boundary, which is used to determine
noise impacts.
The City's goal is to minimize exposure of residents to unhealthful or excessive noise levels to the
extent possible. To this end, the current Noise Element establishes noise/land use compatibility
guidelines based on cumulative noise criteria for outdoor noise. Table 5.10-2 outlines these criteria,
which the City uses to review development proposals. In addition, new residential development
projects are required to comply with Title 24 standards of the California Code of Regulations. These
standards establish maximum interior noise levels for new residential development, requiring that
sufficient insulation be provided to reduce interior ambient noise levels to 45 CNEL Higher exterior
noise levels are permitted for multiple-family housing than for single.family houses, as multiple-family
complexes are generally set back farther from property boundaries, and a more integrated mix of
activity (residential and commercial) is often desired near such locations.
In addition, properties within the airport influence area surrounding French Valley Airport are also
subject to the more stringent noise/land use compatibility standards of the French Valley Airport
Land Use Compatibility Plan.

Existing Noise
I
Noise from transportation activity is the primary component of the noise environment in T emecula.
Transportation noise is associated with the major transportation corridors that traverse the
community. Aircraft operations at the French Valley Airport, located north of the City within
Temecula's sphere of influence, also contribute to the noise environment.
I
A study of baseline noise sources and levels was completed in April, 2002. Noise level
measurements were collected during a typical weekday at 20 locations throughout the Planning
Area. Criteria for site selection included geographical distribution, land uses suspected of noisy
activities, proximity to transportation facilities and sensitive receptor locations. The primary purpose
of noise monitoring was to establish a noise profile for the Planning Area that could be used to
estimate the level of current and future noise impact.

Noise
I
Measurements represent motor vehicle noise emanating from Interstate 15, the local master
planned roadway network, and aircraft associated with the French Valley Airport. Sensitive receptor
locations monitored include single-family homes, schools, and parks. Noise levels were monitored
during the peak traffic hour to represent maximum noise levels or during off-peak conditions and
then modified to reflect peak traffic conditions. Table 5.10-3 provides a summary of existing (2002)
noise level measurements in T emecula.
I
I
The existing noise environment can also be described using contours derived from monitoring
major sources of noise. Noise contours define areas of equal noise exposure. As shown in Figure
5.10-1, land uses adjacent to many roadway segments are located within a 60 dB or higher noise
contour, potentially exposing residents or visitors to excessive ambient noise levels.
I
I
The French Valley Airport is also a major source of noise_ Figure 5.10-2 displays the existing (2004)
airport noise contours_ The aircraft mix at this airport includes mostly single-engine aircraft,
although some multi-engine aircraft and a small number of business jets and helicopters also use the
airport. Larger aircraft represent a more intrusive noise source. Impacted future uses include office
park areas and residential neighborhoods.

Environmental Impact
Noise Standards
Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for within the Planning Area for up to 25,005
net new housing units and 36.2 million net new square feet of nonresidential development over the
next 20 years. New development pursuant to the General Plan will generate additional traffic that
will increase noise levels along the roadway network. Figure 5.10-3 depicts anticipated buildout
roadway noise contours within the Planning Area. Future noise contours have been estimated
based on information about existing and projected transportation activity. Appendix E of this EIR
includes a table comparing existing and buildout noise contour distances for each analyzed
roadway segment.
The City's noise standards, listed in Table 5.10-2 above, are the basis for land use compatibility
guidelines in the General Plan Noise Element. These guidelines are summarized in the land use
compatibility matrix presented in Table 5.10-4. As described in the General Plan Noise Element,
future projects pursuant to the General Plan will be considered compatible with the noise
environment if noise levels in the area where the project will be constructed fall within the
"normally acceptable" or "conditionally acceptable" noise exposure levels. If the anticipated noise
environment is categorized as "normally acceptable," no mitigation is typically needed. If the
anticipated noise level falls within the "conditionally acceptable" range, minor mitigation may be
required to meet City and State Title 24 noise standards. If the noise level falls within the "normally
unacceptable" range, substantial mitigation may be necessary to meet City noise standards. Project
specific mitigation could include construction of noise barriers, and/or the inclusion of substantial
building sound insulation. If noise levels fall within or above the "clearly unacceptable" level, the
project is incompatible with the noise environment and new construction of the particular land use
should not be undertaken.
I
I
I
I
I
Future noise levels along major streets in the City are projected to range from approximately 60
dB(A) to 75 dB(A) CNEL. In some portions of the community, the 60 dB noise contour could
expand by as much as 395 feet. Although some roadway segments could experience a decrease,
wide-ranging variability exists across the roadway network. As a result, new development pursuant
to the proposed General Plan could conflict with adopted noise standards. This is considered a
significant impact, and mitigation is required.

Groundborne Vibration or Noise
long-term implementation of the General Plan could expose persons to excessive groundborne
vibration and/or noise. Problems could arise in cases where noise-producing uses are located
immediately adjacent to sensitive uses, such as business park areas near residences or schools.
Mixed-use projects, such as those encouraged within four Mixed Use Overlay Areas identified in the
General Plan land Use Element, also present unique concerns, such as when restaurants with
nighttime entertainment are located close to residential units. In addition, construction-related
activities will be short-term sources of groundborne noise that could affect occupants of
neighboring uses_ These are potentially significant impacts at the project level, and mitigation is
required_
Ambient Noise levels
Permanent
Transportation-related noise is the strongest contributor to ambient noise levels within the Temecula
Planning Area. As noted in Appendix E and in Figures 5.10-1 and 5.10-3, future noise levels along
major streets within the City are projected to increase due to additional trips on the roadway.
Nearly all of the roadway segments analyzed in Section 5.13, Transportation and Traffic will carry
additional trips in the future, which will produce additional noise. In some portions of the
community, the 60 dB noise contour could expand by as much as 395 feet. In addition, new
transportation facilities shown on the City's Roadway Plan will contribute new sources of noise,
including but not limited to the Southern Bypass, the Western Bypass, two new 1-1 S freeway
interchanges, and the French Valley Parkway connection to Murrieta Hot Springs Road. New noise
levels associated with these and other new transportation facilities are estimated in Appendix E.
These increases in permanent ambient noise levels are considered a significant impact, and
mitigation is required.
Temporary
long-term implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for additional development within
the Planning Area, which could result in substantial temporary or periodic increases in ambient
noise levels due to construction activities.
Table 5.10-5 illustrates typical noise levels associated with the operation of construction equipment
at a distance of 50 feet. As shown, construction equipment generates high levels of intermittent
noise ranging from 70 dB(A) to 105 dB(A), and thus will result in a significant impact where noise-
sensitive land uses adjoin construction sites. Although construction-related noise will be short term
for each specific construction project and will cease upon completion of construction, the'
cumulative impact over time could be significant at specific locations.

Airport/Land Use Compatibility
The Land Use Policy Map (Figure 3-2 in Section 3.0, Project Description) and implementing zoning
regulations restrict development of intensive new uses within airport influence areas. Development
controls within the City's Development Code include limiting development within areas subject to
high noise levels and limiting the intensity and height of development within aircraft hazard zones.
These controls are consistent with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for French
Valley Airport, adopted by the ALUC, which designates airport influence areas and zones for every
airport in Riverside County, and provides a series of policies and compatibility criteria to ensure that
both aviation uses and surrounding areas may continue. Figure 5.10-4 depicts the future (2013)
noise impacts projected for the French Valley Airport in the April 2004 draft of the ALUCP.
The General Plan Noise Element includes goals and policies that direct the City to comply with the
French Valley ALUCP. Ongoing compliance with the ALUCP and implementation of General Plan
policy will ensure a less than significant impact.
Mitigation Measures
N-l The City will review residential and other noise-sensitive development proposals to ensure
that noise standards and compatibility criteria are met, and will require incorporation of
noise-mitigating features identified in acoustical studies prepared for development projects
including, but not limited to, the following measures identified in the Noise Element
(General Plan Implementation Programs N-l, N-3, N-S and N-?).
. Use of building setbacks to increase distance between noise sources and receivers
. Placing noise tolerant land uses such as parking lots, maintenance facilities, and utility
areas between noise sources and receptors.
. Orienting or clustering buildings to shield outdoor spaces from noise sources.
. Placing bedrooms on the side of a house, facing away from major roadways.
. Placement of noise tolerant rooms (e.g. garages, bathrooms and kitchens) to shield
noise-sensitive portions of homes.
. Use of additional insulation and double-pane windows when bedrooms cannot be
located on the side of a house away from a major roadway.
. Avoid placement of balconies facing major travel routes.
N-2 Where architectural design treatments described in Mitigation Measure N-l fail to
adequately reduce adverse noise levels or will significantly increase the costs of land
development, the City will require the combined use of noise barriers and landscaped
berms (General Plan Implementation Program N-?).

N-3 The City will require all non-emergency construction activity to comply with the limits
(maximum noise levels, hours and days of activity) established in State and City noise
regulations (Title 24 California Code of Regulations, T emecula Development Code and
Chapter 8.32 of the Municipal Code), and will require proposed industrial or commercial

N-S The City will 1) incorporate noise control measures, such as sound walls and berms, into
roadway improvement projects to mitigate impacts to adjacent development; 2) provide
noise control for City streets within the Planning Area experiencing unique noise problems;
3) use the ultimate roadway capacity at LOS C and the posted speed limit to estimate
maximum future noise impacts; and 4) Coordinate with the Riverside County Sheriff's

5. 11 Population and Housing
This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will induce substantial
population growth within the Planning Area. As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the
project will not displace people or housing.
Environmental Setting
Over the last decade, the City of T emecula and western Riverside County have experienced
significant population growth. In 1990, Temecula's population was approximately 27,099. By
2000, the population had increased to 53,791. Similarly, the number of housing units grew from
10,659 in 1990 to 18,534 in 2000. By this account, the population increased approximately 9.8
percent per year. Since 2000, annexation has also contributed substantially to the growth of the
City. In 2002, Temecula annexed Vail Ranch, adding approximately 6,000 residents to the City's
population, an 18 percent increase over 2001'. In 2003, the City annexed the largely undeveloped
Roripaugh Ranch area, which added negligible population'- In July 2005, the City will annex the
Redhawk area, which includes approximately 8,000 residents3.
According to California Department of Finance, January 2004 estimates, 77,460 persons reside in
24,984 housing units in Temecula4 Between 1990 and 2000, the average household size increased
from 2.97 to 3.39; however, in the last few years, the number of persons per household has
decreased to 3.24 persons per household in 2004.
According to SCAG growth projections, the City's population will be 78,252 in the year 2005.5 This
forecast applies only to the corporate City and does not include areas within the sphere of influence
or other portions of the Planning Area. SCAG estirnates that in 2005, Temecula will have 24,095
households and 29,596 jobs, resulting in a jobs/housing ratio of 1.22 jobs per household. Riverside
County averages a jobs/housing ratio of 1.03, while the Western Riverside Council of Governments
averages a 1.25 jobs/housing ratio. As a whole, the five.county SCAG region has a current
jobs/housing ratio of 1.37.'

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
5.11.1
Population and Housing
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will occur if implementation of the General Plan induces substantial population
growth in an area, either directly or indirectly.
Environmental Impact
General Plan land use policy establishes capacity for 25,005 net new housing units and 36.2 million
net new square feet of nonresidential development over the next 20 years. Directing how and
where development occurs has great impact on the quality of life and economic well-being of the
community. To accommodate the anticipated population increase over the next 20 years, the
General Plan Land Use Element directs most new development into the French Valley Future
Growth Area. The Land Use Element also includes policies that encourage development of mixed-
use projects within three established Mixed-Use Overlay Areas to promote infill development and
redevelopment of vacantjunderutilized sites and aging commercial developments. In addition, Land
Use Element policies establish a number of strategies designed to preserve rural areas and protect
existing single-family residential neighborhoods.
In the year 2025, 5CAG projects a population of 96,967 persons within Temecula's corporate
boundaries. SCAG also estimates that T emecula will have 32,658 households and 62,416 jobs in
2025. This will produce a ratio of 1.70 jobs per household.' These forecasts do not include areas
within the sphere of influence or other non-incorporated parts of the Planning Area. The population
growth rate between 2005 and 2025 estimated by SCAG will be 1.2 percent per year for the City
and 2.9 percent per year for Riverside County. The General Plan Land Use Element provides
capacity for a population of 113,421 within the current City limits in 2025 based on 13,094 net new
housing units, an average of 3.223 persons per household, an occupancy rate of 95.8 percent, and
an existing population of 72,715 as of January, 2002. If buildout is achieved by 2025, development
pursuant to the General Plan results in a population increase of about 2.4 percent per year, or
double 5CAG's projections for the City. This 16.9 percent difference from SCAG projections
represents 16,454 additional persons. The apparent inconsistency is accounted for as follows.
The General Plan's estimated increase to 113,421 persons by the year 2025 is based on planned
land uses - specifically, new housing units. By definition, these units, along with all planned
development and additional amenities described in the General Plan, will accommodate the
population growth. Additionally, land designated for housing will in many places be developed at a
higher density than what was typical in the past throughout the City, thus providing housing for a
greater number of people per acre. The capacity to accommodate the expected population is
therefore sufficient and consistent with growth management policies contained in 5CAG's Regional
Comprehensive Plan and Guide, as described in Section 5.9, Land Use and Planning.
T emecula also intends to accommodate future planned development within City boundaries to the
extent feasible. As described in General Plan Implementation Program LU-15, prior to annexation
of land to the City, an annexation plan and fiscal analysis must be completed to demonstrate how
adequate levels of public services and facilities will be provided to serve the new development.
Therefore all additional land - and proposed development on that land - added to the City's

jurisdiction will be carefully considered and analyzed to ensure that future annexations are
beneficial additions to the City and impacts are minimized.
SCAG's projections for the region allocate Riverside County a proportionally greater increase in
population in the future, when compared to Temecula. SCAG estimates that the County's
population will increase by 76 percent between 2002 and 2025, while Temecula's population will
increase by 33 percent. However, historical trends indicate that Temecula has typically experienced
a much greater rate of growth than the County. For example, T emecula grew at an average of
3,062 people a year from 1990 to 2000, an increase of 113 percent. Between 1990 and 2000, the
County population grew by 32 percent.
Thus, the General Plan land Use Element includes policies and programs designed to
accommodate City and regional population growth forecast to occur within the Planning Area by
the year 2025. Considering these factors, Temecula's future population appears to be better
represented by estimates derived from the land capacity established within the General Plan.
Given historical growth patterns and growth management policies contained within the General
Plan, implementation of the Plan will not substantially increase population beyond that already
projected to occur within the Planning Area. Furthermore, as described in Section 5.9, Land Use
and Planning, the General Plan is consistent with SCAG's growth management policies. Impact will
be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
Impact will be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.

inspections for all new construction and building improvements to ensure fire-safe environments for
all citizens. In addition to the five fire stations serving T emecula, the City began the FAS.T.
program (Faster Ambulance Service in Temecula) on July 27, 1999. The program consists of a
paramedic squad vehicle which responds to calls inside the City limits within five minutes. The
Emergency Response Program handles all fire, life, and environmental emergencies within five
minutes.'
Police Protection
Temecula contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services.
The current contract provides for the assignment of 76 sworn officers and 12 non-sworn officers to
the City. Other resources such as bomb disposal, an emergency services team, and internal affairs
investigations are provided through various divisions with the Sheriff's Department. The current
personnel to population ratio established by the City is one full-time officer per 1,000 residents.'
Figure 5.12-1 identifies the location of Sheriff's Department facilities in Temecula. Law enforcement
services are coordinated from the Southwest Station, supplemented by three store-front office
locations in Old Town Temecula, the Promenade Mall, and Temecula Town Center. Additionally,
the Department operates a traffic unit, detective bureau, and special teams addressing drugs and
gang-related issues. The Department offers innovative prevention and enforcement programs
including "TAG" (Temecula Against Graffiti), a volunteer anti-graffiti program; "Trash busters," a joint
Volunteer/Reserve/POP (problem-Oriented Policing) team program focusing on illegal dumping;
"ERACIT" (Enforce Responsible Alcohol Consumption in Temecula), a program using the traffic unit,
POP teams, and reserve officers to target alcohol related enforcement; and the "ORV Program,"
which utilizes reserve officers, POP teams, and the mounted posse for off road vehicle enforcement.
In addition, the Department sponsors a variety of citizen-based outreach and patrol programs.4
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of General Plan policy will result in a significant impact if the provision of new or
physically altered government facilities is necessary in order to maintain acceptable emergency
service levels, and the construction of such facilities results in substantial adverse physical impacts.
Environmental Impact
Fire Protection
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 25,005 net new
housing units and 36.2 million net new square feet of nonresidential development over the next 20
years. Development projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan policy will result in
increased demand for fire protection services and facilities, as well as increased demand for water
resources for fire protection and other emergencies. This represents a significant impact.

The Fire Department conducts final construction plan check reviews and issues certificates of
occupancy for all new development projects. Projects within the City limits are also required to pay
Development Impact Fees (DIF) to fund the expansion of fire protection and emergency services.
Nonetheless, mitigation measures are required to reduce impact to a level below significance.
The specific environmental impacts of constructing fire stations in the City cannot be determined at
this level of analysis because no specific projects are proposed. However, the Riverside County Fire

PSR-1. The City will periodically evaluate levels of sheriff, fire and emergency medical services,
based on changes in population and development, and will: 1) provide a minimum of one
full-time officer per 1,000 residents for police protection services; 2) maintain facilities,
staffing, and equipment necessary to maintain a five-minute response time for 90 percent of
all emergencies; and 3) implement new programs to meet the changing needs of residents
(General Plan Implementation Program GM-4).
PSR-2. As part of the development review process, the City will require new development projects
to address fire and police protection proactively, through all-weather access street design,
orientation of entryways, siting of structures, landscaping, lighting, and other security
features; and will require illuminated addresses on new construction (General Plan
Implementation Program GM-5).

In addition to public schools, T emecula has eight private schools, including Brentwood Montessori,
Carden Academy, Hillcrest Academy, Linfield School, Rancho Community Christian School, St.
Jeanne de Lestonnac School, Temecula Christian School, and Van Avery Prep Elementary School.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of General Plan will have in a significant impact on schools if the generation of new
students results in the need for development of new or expanded school facilities, the construction
of which could result in potentially significant physical impacts to the environment.
Environmental Impact
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 2S,005 net new
housing units over the next 20 years. Residential development projects anticipated to occur
pursuant to General Plan policy will result in demand for new or expanded education facilities to
adequately accommodate new students. Table 5.12-3 reports the student generation rates used by
the TVUSD to estimate the impact on TVUSD schools resulting from new residential development
within its jurisdiction.

Notes: The General Plan proposes approximately 24,925 new residential dwelling units. The distribution among
dwelling unit type was determined by Cotton/Bridges/Associates based on the following assumptions: 1) New
units in Hillside (HR); Rural (RR) and Very Low (VL) land use designations are entirely Single-Family Detached; 2)
% of new units proposed in Low (L) density residential land use designation are Single-Family Detached and %
are Single-Family Attached; 3) 112 of new units proposed in Low Medium (LM) and Medium (M) density
residential are Single-Family Attached and V2 are Multi-Family; and 4) All units proposed in High (H) density
residential and the Mixed-Use Overlay (MIX) are Multi-Family_

As shown in Table 5.12-3, implementation of the General Plan will result in approximately 4,919 net
new elementary school students, 2,532 middle school students, and 2,846 high school students.
The total number of students will be divided among all of TVUSD's current and future elementary,
middle, and high schools. Capacity and enrollment figures also fluctuate within the district
depending on the location and type of students, and capacity of nearby schools.

To meet future educational needs, TVUSD prepares Five-Year Facility Construction Plans. Future
school construction projects within the current plan are summarized in Table 5.12-4. The projected
opening date of schools may change as a result of changes in school enrollment, levels of new
home construction, and the availability of State funds for school construction/renovation.

With adoption of Senate Bill 50 and Proposition 1 A in 1998, school districts that meet certain
requirements now have the option of adopting alternative school fees, also known as level 2 Fees
and level 3 Fees (Public Resources Code Sections 65995.5, 65995.6 and 65995.7). In general,
alternative school fees, which are calculated for each school district, apply solely to residential
construction within a school district. In order to impose alternative school fees on new residential
construction within the District, TVUSD annually prepares and adopts a School Facilities Needs
Analysis (SFNA) as required by State law. Additionally, the City works with developers and TVUSD
to designate school facility locations when new residential projects are proposed. TVUSD meets
the educational needs of its student population through both permanent and interim facilities.
Payment of alternative school fees will be used to offset the cost to TVUSD of providing education
facilities to future students. The environmental effects of expansion, construction, and operation of
additional school facilities will be evaluated by TVUSD in its efforts to plan for construction of new
schools or expansion of existing facilities. SB 50 states that for CEQA purposes, payment of fees to
the affected school district reduces school facility impacts to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation beyond the payment of school fees is required.

libraries
Environmental Setting
The City of T emecula is a member of the Riverside County Library District, which operates 38
libraries throughout Riverside County. The T emecula Library is a full-service library offering a wide
range of materials, programs, and services for all ages. The library's collection of over 80,000 items
supports the needs of customers seeking in-depth information, leisure reading, children's books,
videos, DVDs, magazines, and many other types of materials. As a member of the County Library
System, the library affords customers access to over two million items located in branches
throughout the system. A reference staff is on duty at all times to assist patrons, and the library
offers Internet access on multiple workstations.'
The new T emecula Public Library, scheduled for completion in 2006, will be located on Pauba Road
overlooking the Ronald Reagan Sports Park and adjacent to Fire Station 84. The new library will
encompass over 34,000 square feet and upon opening, will be equipped with 96 computers. One
of the many highlights of this building's design is the incorporation of a homework and technology
center. This space will allow for 24 workstations configured with high-speed Internet and OPAC
access, as well as software necessary to complete various homework-related tasks. In addition to
this area, the T emecula Public Library will have a large community room with over 2,000 square
feet. This space will accommodate up to 200 people and will allow for special events, programs and
large civic meetings. The Community Room will also be equipped with video conferencing
capabilities to enhance educational, cultural and commerce goals well into the twenty-first century.
The Riverside County Branch located off Winchester Road will remain open to service customers as
well'
Riverside County Library District standards call for 1.2 volumes and 0.5 square feet of library space
per capita. The District currently provides 0.97 volumes and 0.13 square feet per capita
Countywide.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact on libraries if the increased
demand results in the need to construct new library facilities or expand existing facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts.

Public Services and Recreation
Environmental Impact
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 25,00S net new
housing units over the next 20 years. As described in Section 3.11, Population and Housing, the
General Plan provides capacity for up to 169,184 persons within the Planning Area. This
population level would require 203,020 volumes and 84,S92 square feet of library space based on
Riverside County Library District standards. The new T emecula Public Library will have 34,000
square feet of library space and 80,000 volumes. Additional volumes are available through the
Library District's branch library system and interlibrary loan agreements. Nevertheless, residential
development projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan policy will result in demand for
library resources beyond provided by the new T emecula Public Library. Even with the opening of
the new library, the new development associated with implementation of the General Plan will
require the construction of new or expanded library facilities. Impact will be significant and
mitigation measures have been added to the project.
The specific impacts of constructing new library facilities in the Planning Area cannot be determined
at this first-tier level of analysis because no specific project is proposed. However, Riverside County
Library District will be required to conduct project-level analysis of potential impacts.
Mitigation Measures
PSR-3. The City will identify and solicit funding from additional sources to supplement library
facilities and services. Such funding sources may include: State and federal grants and loans,
public and private donations, sponsorships by local and national corporations, and other
private individuals and groups (General Plan Implementation Program GM-7).
PSR-4. The City will coordinate with the County to determine location, facilities, and services of
new branch libraries needed to serve the community (General Plan Implementation
Program GM-7).
level of Impact after Mitigation
Implementation of Mitigation Measures PSR-3 and PSR-4 will reduce the impact to library facilities
to a less than significant level.
Parks and Recreation
Environmental Setting
The City owns and maintains 31 parks, including a skate park and roller hockey arena. The City also
has two recreation centers, an outdoor amphitheater, a gymnasium, two swimming pools, a senior

Public SelVices and Recreation
T emecula has 22 neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks are intended to provide for the daily
recreation needs of residents in the immediate area of the park. The neighborhood park usually
serves residents within a half-mile radius. Neighborhood park facilities include open field play areas,
picnic areas, and tot lots. The optimum size of a neighborhood park is from three to ten acres, and
the park should be easily accessible by pedestrians and bicyclists.
I
I
The City also offers two specialty and five sports parks. Specialty parks are facilities that support
one or two activities, such as the T emecula Skate Park designed to meet the needs of skateboarders
and in.line skaters. Sports parks are larger and offer facilities for a variety of sports, including
basketball, football, soccer, and/or tennis. The largest sports park in Temecula is the Ronald Reagan
Sports Park, which encompasses over 73 acres. In addition, the City maintains six recreational
facilities, including a recreation center with an outdoor amphitheater, a community center, a senior
center, two museums, and a historic chapel. T emecula has a total of 200 acres of park land and
60,000 square feet of recreational space.
I
I
I
The City has a joint-use agreement with the Temecula Valley Unified School District which allows
the City to light and utilize school facilities. These facilities are generally open to the public during
non-school hours, weekends, and vacations, and as such are considered adjuncts to the citywide
park system. The following school sites are presently joint-use facilities:
.
Temecula Middle School (illuminated baseball and soccer fields)
T emecula Elementary School (pool)
Temecula Valley High (illuminated tennis courts)

Private recreation facilities are included in several planned communities and apartment complexes.
These facilities usually include tennis or basketball courts. The existing facilities are limited, but they
help meet the demand for parks and recreation facilities within the community.
Several commercial recreation facilities, including three golf courses, are located within the City and
Planning Area. These facilities include the T emecula Creek Inn Golf Resort, T emeku Hills Golf
Course, and the Redhawk Golf Club. T emecula residents can also enjoy the 600-acre Lake Skinner
Regional Park, located several miles east of T emecula. The park offers overnight camping, fishing,
swimming, sailing, picnicking, and other activities. Additional regional recreation facilities include
the Cleveland National Forest southeast of the City.
Given the City's current population of 72,715 residents and the parkland standard of five acres of
City-owned parkland per 1,000 residents, the City should offer 364 acres of parkland. With only
200 acres of parkland, the City has a current deficit of 164 acres of parkland.
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in a significant impact if it will:
.
Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such
that substantial physical deterioration would occur or be accelerated, or
.
Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of facilities, which might
have an adverse physical impact on the environment.

Public Services and Recreation
The basic park acreage standard for the City of T emecula is 5.0 acres of usable City-owned parkland
per 1,000 residents. This standard does not include special use facilities, natural open space, or
trails.
Environmental Impact
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 25,005 net new
housing units and 40,706 net new residents over the next 20 years. Residential development
projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan policy will require the City to provide 204
net new acres of parkland in addition to the existing 164-acre deficit. Sufficient acreage to meet the
needs of existing residents is anticipated by the year 2013 through the acquisition and dedication of
parks and school facilities within identified specific plan areaslO However, new development
projects pursuant to the General Plan will result in increased use of existing neighborhood and
regional parks, other recreational facilities, and trails that may cause or accelerate substantial
physical deterioration of these facilities. Impact will be significant, and mitigation measures are
required.
Mitigation Measures
PSR-5. The City will identify potential sites for additional park land, monitor demand for park land
and facilities concurrent with development approvals, and prioritize potential parkland
acquisitions, expansions, and improvements within the five year Capital Improvement
Program, consistent with the adopted Parks and Recreation Master Plan (General Plan
Implementation Program OS-l).
PSR-6. The City shall continue to implement a local code that incorporates standards for parkland
dedication and development. Specifically the City shall: 1) require the dedication of
parkland or the payment of in-lieu fees and the development of recreation facilities for all
new development; and 2) require developers of residential projects greater than 200 units
to dedicate land based on the park acre standard of five acres of usable parkland to 1,000
residents (General Plan Implementation Program OS-2).
PSR-7. The City shall 1) implement policies and standards of the Parks and Recreation and Multi-
Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plans, including trail classifications, design standards,
implementation mechanisms, and capital improvement programming; and 2) ensure that
bike routes are provided or reserved concurrent with new development (General Plan
Implementation Program OS-29).
level of Impact after Mitigation
Implementation of Mitigation Measures PSR-4 through PSR-7 will reduce the impact to parks and
recreation to a less than significant level.

5.13 Transportation
This section of the EIR examines whether implementation of the General Plan will result in increased
vehicle trips or traffic congestion, or exceed a level of service standard established by the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTe) and/or City of Temecula for designated roads or
highways. As indicated in the Initial Study (Appendix A), the project will not result in a change in air
traffic patterns, increase hazards due to road design features, result in inadequate emergency access
or parking capacity, or conflict with adopted alternative transportation policies or plans.
The information presented in this section is summarized from the City of Temecula General Plan
Update Circulation Element Traffic Study (Austin-Foust Associates, Inc., November, 2004) included as
Appendix D of this EIR.
Environmental Setting
Temecula's circulation network includes freeways, principal arterials, and a well-developed local
road system. Interstate 15 (1-15) bisects the western portion of the Planning Area and provides
connections to other regional freeways in Riverside County, San Diego County, San Bernardino
County, and beyond. Interstate 21 S (1-215), located north of the Planning Area, provides direct
access to the communities of Moreno Valley and Riverside. State Route 79 North (SR-79) provides
access to Hemet and San Jacinto, while SR-79 South provides access to eastern Riverside and San
Diego Counties.
1-15 traverses north-south through the western portion of the Planning Area. Freeway interchanges
along 1-15 within the Planning Area include Winchester Road (SR-79 North), Rancho California
Road, and SR-79 South. Within the Planning Area, Benton Road, Murrieta Hot Springs Road,
Nicolas Road, Rancho California Road, and SR-79 South serve as the primary east-west arterials.
Primary north-south arterials include Winchester Road (designated as SR-79 North), Butterfield Stage
Road, Meadows Parkway, Margarita Road, Ynez Road, Jefferson Avenue/Old Town Front Street,
Diaz Road, and Pechanga Parkway.
The City's non-motorized transportation facilities include bicycle routes, trails, and sidewalks. The
City has an extensive network of multi-use trails providing connections for pedestrians, equestrians,
and bicyclists. In addition to the multi-use trails, many of Temecula's roadways are designed to
support bikeways of various types. The trail and bikeway system is composed of a network of Class
I off-road trails located parallel to roadways and within residential subdivisions, and Class II and III
bike lanes and routes located on arterial roadways. Class I facilities include bicycle paths with
exclusive rights-of-way intended to serve cyclists with the safest means of travel. Pedestrians and
equestrians also use these routes. Class II facilities are bicycle lanes along the curb lane of a street
or highway; the path provides for one-way travel and is generally delineated with special striping
and signs. Class III facilities are bike routes for shared use with pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic.
Signs are posted which indicate that the road also serves as a bike route, although no special
striping is provided for bicyclists.

Public transportation first became available in Temecula in 1991 when RTA established a local
transit route within Temecula and initiated a pilot program providing commuter service between
T emecula and Corona with stops in Murrieta and Lake Elsinore. To meet the needs of a growing
population, public transit services have since been expanded. Table 5.13-1 summarizes the

Methodology
Two primary measures are used to evaluate the existing and planned capacity of the existing and
planned roadway system within the Planning Area: volume and capacity. Volume is established
either by a traffic count (in the case of existing volumes) or by a forecast for a future point in time.
Capacity refers to the vehicle carrying ability of a roadway at free flow speed. The ratio between
volume and capacity (VIe) is used to establish a level of service (LOS) for roadway facilities. LOS is
a qualitative description of traffic operations for roadway facilities. LOS" An indicates free flow
conditions with little or no delay. LOS "F" indicates a high level of delay with severe congestion.
LOS "e" indicates moderate delay. LOS "D" indicates marginally acceptable traffic operations in
urban areas. The threshold of LOS "En is the theoretical capacity of the street or intersection.
Performance criteria are provided for two components of the circulation system: arterial roadways
and freeway ramps. The following sections outline the performance criteria employed to analyze
arterial roadways and freeway ramps.
Arterial Roadways
Analysis of the arterial road system is based on intersection capacity since intersections are the
primary limiting factor within the roadway system. Levels of service for arterial roadway
intersections are determined based on operating conditions during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours.
The intersection capacity utilization (ICU) methodology is applied using peak hour volumes and
considers the geometric configuration of intersections when measuring capacity. The ICU method
sums the V IC ratios for the critical movements of an intersection and is generally compatible with
the intersection capacity analysis methodology outlined in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual.
Table 5.13-2 summarizes ICU ranges and corresponding LOS descriptions.

The City of T emecula has established an intersection capacity performance standard of 0.90 for
peak-hour intersection operation impacts. This standard means that an intersection is operating at
90 percent of its capacity, corresponding to LOS D.
Freeway Ramps
Performance criteria for freeway ramps accessing 1-15 are based on A.M. and P.M. peak hour V IC
ratios for each ramp. Carrying capacities for each ramp configuration within the Planning Area are
based on information contained in the July 1995 Caltrans Highway Design Manual and the January
2000 Caltrans Ramp Meter Design Manual. Caltrans' performance standard for freeway ramps is a
maximum peak hour V IC of 1.00, corresponding to LOS E.
Existing Traffic Conditions
Traffic flow patterns within the Planning Area are oriented around components of the regional
roadway system, including 1-15 and SR-79. 1-15 traverses the western portion of the Planning Area.
SR-79 passes through the Planning Area in two separate north and south arterial highway segments,
with 1-15 serving as a link between the two. Volumes on Winchester Road (SR-79 North) reach
62,000 average daily trips (ADT) near 1-15. Volumes on SR-79 South reach 47,000 ADT near 1-15.
Freeway interchanges on 1-15 within the Planning Area are located at Winchester Road (SR-79
North), Rancho California Road, and SR-79 South. Figure 5.13-1 depicts current (2002) ADT
volumes on the roadway system.
As discussed above in Methodology, L05 is defined according to peak-hour intersection
performance using ICU values. Figure 5.13-2 identifies the intersections included in this evaluation,
and Table 5.13-3 lists current ICU and corresponding L05 values for each intersection.'

Related Regional Plans
SCAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a multi-modal, long-range planning document prepared by
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The RTP includes programs and
policies for congestion management, transit, bicycles and pedestrians, roadways, freight, and
financing. The RTP is prepared every three years to address a 20-year projection of needs. Each
agency responsible for building and managing transportation facilities, including the City of
T emecula, has implementation responsibilities under the RTP. The RTP relies on local plans and

policies governing circulation and transportation to identify the region's future multi-modal
transportation system.
Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP)/Community and Environmental
Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP)
Western Riverside County is projected to grow from a current population of about 1.2 million to 2
million in 2020. In an effort to improve the quality of life for current and future residents, the
County of Riverside, the RCTC, and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
embarked on a planning process to determine future placement of buildings, roads and open
spaces within the County. This process was named the Riverside County Integrated Project (RClP)
and resulted in three interrelated plans: a Riverside County General Plan for land use and housing,
a Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) to determine open spaces and conservation
areas, and the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP), which
identifies improvements for highways and transit systems.
The main goals of CETAP are to: 1) identify and set aside areas for major transportation facilities; 2)
ensure that transportation infrastructure will be in place to foster the economic development of
Riverside County; and 3) provide access to schools, jobs, shopping and other daily activities. One
major component of the CETAP is to identify a location for the Winchester to Temecula Corridor,
which will involve widening of 1-15 and 1-215, as well as construction of French Valley Parkway,
connecting the French Valley Future Growth Area to 1-215 and providing an alternate freeway
access point to Winchester Road. Other goals include providing expanded rail service and express
bus service throughout Riverside County. Decisions reached through the CET AP will affect
transportation facilities and opportunities within Temecula.
Riverside County Congestion Management Program
Urbanized areas such as Riverside County are required under State law to adopt a Congestion
Management Program (CMP). The Riverside County Congestion Management Program (CMP) is
updated every two years. The goals of the CMP are to reduce traffic congestion, to improve air
quality, and to provide a coordination mechanism between land development and transportation
improvement decisions. The CMP is administered by the RCTC In 1997, RCTC significantly
modified the original CMP to meet federal Congestion Management System (CMS) guidelines. This
effort included development of an Enhanced Traffic Monitoring System, in which real-time traffic
count data can be accessed by RCTC to evaluate the condition of the CMS, as well as meet other
monitoring requirements at the State and federal levels. As a result, the submittal of Traffic Impact
Assessments (TIAs) for development proposals to RCTe is no longer required. However, the City is
required to maintain minimum LOS thresholds identified in the General Plan and continues to
require TIAs on development projects.

Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
The Temecu/a General Plan Circulation Element and the Riverside County CMP recognize LOS D as
the minimum acceptable standard at signalized intersections. Caltrans typically uses the
performance standard of LOS E for freeway ramps. Thus, long-term implementation of the
Temecula General Plan will have a significant impact on the roadway network if it:
. Causes an intersection to operate at LOS E or F (peak hour ICU greater than 0.90) or
. Causes a freeway ramp to operate at LOS F (peak hour V IC greater than 1.00).
Environmental Impact
Proposed Roadway Plan
Community concerns expressed during the General Plan process indicate that T emecula needs
better roadway circulation between residential areas and commercial/employment centers, and
more efficient connections to regional transportation routes. Pass-through traffic accessing these
regional routes from unincorporated areas is also a significant concern to residents.
As discussed in Section 3.0, Proiect Description, the General Plan Circulation Element is comprised
of the Roadway Plan (illustrated in Figure 3-3 in the Project Description), long-range plans for transit
facilities and multi-use trails, and goals, policies, and programs to ensure that current transportation
facilities will be improved and new facilities constructed that provide adequate capacity to
accommodate travel needs resulting from future development pursuant to the Land Use Element.
Improvements to current roadways and construction of future roadways have also been designed to
anticipate future development in the County of Riverside and the City of Murrieta.
The Circulation Element establishes eight types of roadways, ranging from eight-lane high-capacity
divided roadways to two-lane undivided roadways. The classifications are:
.
Urban Arterial (8-10 lanes divided within 134' right-of-way)
Principal Arterial (6 lanes divided within 110' right-of-way)
Major Arterial (4 lanes divided within 100' right-of-way)
Secondary Arterial (4 lanes undivided within 88' right-of-way)
Modified Secondary Arterial (4 lanes separated within 88' right-of-way, no curb and gutter)
Limited Secondary Arterial (2 lanes divided with turn lanes where needed within 88' right-of-
way)
Collector (2 lanes undivided within 66' right-of-way in residential areas, within 78' right-of-
way in industrial areas)
Rural Highway (2 lanes undivided within 88-150' right-of-way)
.
.
.
.
.

.
The Roadway Plan identifies several new roadways and intersection enhancements in addition to
defining roadway classifications and widths. Proposed new roadways are identified in Figure 5.13-
3.

Key features of the proposed Roadway Plan include the following:
River/Freeway Crossings
The Roadway Plan includes two new crossings of Murrieta Creek at Overland Drive and Rancho
Way. The Rancho Way crossing will also extend over Jefferson Avenue and 1-15 to intersect with
Ynez Road and then further extend to Margarita Road.
New Freeway Interchanges
Two new 1-15 interchanges are included in the Roadway Plan. Caltrans has completed preliminary
studies for the proposed French Valley Parkway interchange in the northwest portion of the
Planning Area. This interchange will provide freeway access for a new north-south principal arterial
roadway (French Valley Parkway) extending from Murrieta Hot Springs Road to Diaz Road. At the
south end of the Planning Area, a new interchange is proposed near the intersection of the current
City boundary and 1-15. This interchange will provide freeway access for a new principal arterial
roadway (the Southern Bypass) extending from '-15 to Pechanga Parkway, and a further eastward
connection as a secondary arterial roadway to Anza Road.
Southern/Eastern Bypass
The Roadway Plan proposes that current Anza Road be classified as a Rural Highway, providing a
continuous eastern and southern bypass route from Auld Road in the northern part of the Planning
Area to the new 1-15 interchange at the City's southern boundary.
Western Bypass
The Roadway Plan includes a western bypass route that connects the new French Valley Parkway at
Diaz Road to Old Town Front Street and SR-79 South at the 1-15 interchange. This roadway is
proposed as a major arterial around the southwestern edge of the City. A short portion is currently
built (Via Industria), and the remainder will be built as a new four-lane roadway.
Principal Intersections
The orientation of Temecula's street system funnels many trips through a few key intersections.
Failure of these intersections to perform at adopted performance standards significantly impairs the
overall effectiveness of the transportation network. The Circulation Element refers to a set of
principal intersections that are subject to regular monitoring. Priority would then be given to any
principal intersection that is not meeting LOS criteria when implementing roadway improvements.
Figure 5.13-4 identifies the principal intersections. This initial set of principal intersections
corresponds to those analyzed within this traffic analysis. In the future, the City may add or remove
intersections from the principal intersections list as traffic conditions in the Planning Area change in
response to approved development projects and regional growth.

Future Traffic Conditions
Long-range implementation of the General Plan will create capacity for up to 25,005 net new
housing units and 36.2 million net new square feet of nonresidential development in the Planning
Area over the next 20 years. Development projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan
policy will result in as many as 699,558 additional vehicle trips per day, for a total trip generation of
approximately 1.43 million vehicle trips per day. This represents an increase of 96 percent over
existing (year 2002) conditions, as shown in Table 5.13-5.

Other land uses include hotel/motel, schools, mining/agriculture, natural open spaces, institutional, goff
courses, and Pechanga Entertainment Center.
Source: Austin-Foust Associates, November 2004.
As shown in Table 5.13-5, approximately 33 percent of the projected vehicle trips are attributed to
residential land uses and the remaining 67 percent to non-residential uses. These proportions are
roughly similar to current conditions, indicating a comparable composition of residential and non-
residential land uses, and a slight expansion of non-residential uses as a proportion of total trip
generation.
Long-range ADT volumes for the Roadway Plan are shown in Figure 5.13-5. These volumes
represent buildout of the Planning Area pursuant to the Land Use Element, the substantial 2025
land use projections for the surrounding area according to the RCIP, the San Diego County General
Plan, and the City of Murietta General Plan. Comparing the future volumes to existing volumes
shows the effect of additional trips generated by buildout of the proposed General Plan. For
example, Table 5.13-6 shows aggregate east-west volumes just east of the 1-15 freeway.

As shown in Table 5.13-6, new roadways and freeway connections proposed in the Roadway Plan
will haye a key role in expanding system capacity because existing facilities, particularly Winchester
Road and Rancho California Road, currently operate near capacity. The need for Butterfield Stage
Road and Anza Road as north-south bypass routes due to additional development north and east of
the City is demonstrated by projected future ADT yolumes. Butterfield Stage Road has projected
volumes that are within the capacity of the proposed Major Arterial classification. Likewise, Anza
Road has adequate capacity as a proposed Rural Highway.
Future daily and peak-hour traffic volumes on the proposed roadway network were estimated using
General Plan land uses and traffic forecasts produced by the Temecula Traffic Model {TTMJ.
Projected A.M. and P.M. peak-hour intersection performance of the City's proposed Critical
Intersections in the year 2025 is summarized in Table 5.13-7.
As discussed above in Existing Traffic Conditions, the intersection of Old Town Front Street and
Rancho California Road currently operates at a deficient LOS E condition. As shown in Table 5.13-
7, this intersection will continue to operate at LOS E in 2025, although implementation of the
General Plan is anticipated to improve the operation of the intersection from 0.96 ICU in 2002 to
0.91 ICU in 2025. The project does not create a new LOS E condition at this intersection or worsen
its operation to LOS F. Impact to Old Town Front Street at Rancho California Road is therefore less
than significant.
Howeyer, long-range implementation of the General Plan will create new deficiencies at the
following three locations:
. Ynez Road & Winchester Road - LOS E at P.M. peak hour
. Ynez Road & Solana Way - LOS E at P.M. peak hour
. Ynez Road & Rancho California Road - LOS E at P.M. peak hour
Impact will be significant at these intersections. Mitigation measures are required to reduce the
level of impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
GENERAL PlAN UPDATE
5.13-17
T-1. The City will: 1) prioritize, secure funding, design, and build new roadways and complete
roadway improvements using the established Capital Improvement Plan process to
implement the circulation system shown on the proposed Roadway Plan concurrent with
land development; and 2) require that new roadways meet roadway classification design
specifications and performance criteria established in the proposed Circulation Element.

As discussed in Existing Traffic Conditions, the SR-79 northbound on-ramp, Winchester Road
southbound off-ramp, and Rancho California Road southbound off-ramp are all currently operating
at a deficient LOS F condition. As shown in Table 5.13-8, these ramps will continue to operate at
LOS F in 202S. Long-range implementation of the General Plan does not create a new LOS F
condition at these ramps. Impact to these ramps is therefore less than significant.
However, as shown in Table 5.13.8, long-range implementation of the General Plan will create new
deficiencies at the following six freeway ramps:
. Winchester Road Direct northbound on-ramp - LOS F at P.M. peak hour
. Winchester Road Loop northbound on-ramp - LOS F P.M. peak hour
. Southern Bypass/ Anza Road southbound on-ramp - LOS F at A.M. peak hour
. Winchester Road northbound off-ramp - LOS F at A.M. peak hour
. French Valley Parkway southbound off-ramp - LOS F at A.M. peak hour
. Winchester Road southbound off-ramp - LOS F at A.M. and P.M. peak hours
Impact will be significant at these freeway ramps. Mitigation measures are required to reduce the
level of impact.
Gradually shifting the reliance of T emecula residents and employees from the private automobile to
public transit would assist in reducing, but would not eliminate, these long-range impacts. The City
of T emecula coordinates with RT A to develop future transit schedules and routes in T emecula, and
provides important transit support facilities, including park-and-ride lots and bus shelters. These
ongoing actions are supported and expanded upon within the Circulation Element by policies
directing the City to coo'rdinate with public and private transit operators to provide fixed route
transit service connecting major activity centers; to coordinate with WRCOG to identify, protect,
and pursue opportunities for light rail or high speed regional rail transit serving T emecula; to identify
and reserve necessary rights-of-way for future regional transit facilities; and' to encourage
development of transit support facilities, such as park-and-ride lots, near the 1-1 S Freeway and within
Mixed Use Overlay Areas established in the Land Use. Element (See Appendix F). Long-term
implementation of these policies is a key priority established by the City within the proposed
General Plan update.
Mitigation Measures
The Roadway Plan in the General Plan Circulation Element will help manage automobile, transit,
and truck flow on the City's street system to accommodate new development anticipated within the
proposed General Plan Land Use Element. In addition to implementation of the Roadway Plan, the
following mitigation measures are required to reduce significant impacts to three intersections and
six freeway ramps:

Table 5.13-9 summarizes new roadways and arterial widening projects required to
implement the proposed Roadway Plan' (General Plan Implementation Program C-l).
The City will monitor the performance of Principal Intersections on an ongoing basis and
ensure that Principal Intersections approaching level of Service D are prioritized for
improvement within the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (General Plan
Implementation Program C-3).
The City will: 1) continue to update the Capital Improvement Plan on an annual basis to
plan for and fund future improvements to the roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle systems; 2)
identify available funding sources and establish a financing plan to guide construction and
funding of transportation system improvements, and 3) require new development projects
to construct and/or fund in whole or in part necessary traffic improvements associated with
the proposed project, through the assessment and collection of traffic impact fees. Such
improvements should address both automotive, as well as alternative means of
transportation (General Plan Implementation Program C-5).
The City will require additional dedication of right-of-way on all approaches to Principal
Intersections. Such right-of-way shall be preserved for future intersection improvements that
may be required at these intersections, such as full width auxiliary turn lanes and/or dual-Ielt
turn lanes (General Plan Implementation Program C-4).
The City will implement the following procedures and requirements to minimize impacts of
proposed development projects on the City's circulation system, and to encourage
increased use of alternative transportation:
. Evaluate development proposals for potential impacts to the transportation and
infrastructure system.
. Require mitigation in the form of physical improvements and/or impact fees for
significant impacts prior to or concurrent with project development.
. Require dedication of adequate right-of-way along new roadways to permit pedestrian
and bicycle facilities.
. Require new development to incorporate design features that facilitate transit service
and encourage transit ridership, such as bus pullout areas, covered bus stop facilities,
efficient trail systems through projects to transit stops, installation of bike lanes,
bikeways, and bicycle parking, and incorporation of pedestrian walkways that pass
through subdivision boundary walls, as appropriate.
. Require new specific plans and other projects to provide an internal system of pathways
and trails. Trails should link schools, shopping centers, transit, and other public facilities
in residential areas.
. Require transportation demand management plans to be submitted for preliminary
review at the Specific Plan or Development Plan stage of site development and
submitted for final approval prior to issuance of building permits (General Plan
Implementation Program C-6).
I
2 The improvements described in Table 5.13-9 respond to the likely future operating conditions of the roadway network.
Details regarding the configuration of proposed improvements represent the best options available based on current
information. Actual improvements, particularly those at intersections, will be established through engineering design.

This section examines whether implementation of the General Plan will require the construction of
new water supply, wastewater treatment, or stormwater drainage facilities, exceed the projected
water supply, or generate substantial refuse volumes that cannot be accommodated by current or
planned landfills.
Water Supply
Environmental Setting
Temecula is served by two water companies: the Rancho California Water District (RCWD) and
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD). Figure 5.8-1 in Section 5.8, Hydrology and Water Quality
identifies the service areas for both districts within the T emecula Planning Area.
RCWD's service area encompasses almost 100,000 acres. RCWD provides retail water supply for a
variety of agricultural, industrial, and residential uses in the City, portions of the City of Murrieta,
and unincorporated Riverside County. RCWD's water supplies are derived from water from local
groundwater sources and imported water from Metropolitan Water District (Metropolitan). The
T emecula and Pauba aquifers underlying the region represent significant groundwater sources.
RCWD currently has 52 wells producing potable water from these aquifers. It also imports 77
million gallons per day of treated water from Metropolitan, has an artificial recharge/recovery
project, and operates a recycled water system.' Present and future projected water supply sources
are listed in Table 5.14-1.

domestic water consumption was 21,545 acre-feet (af), with an estimated population of 82,000
persons within RCWD's service area. Thus, RCWD assumes an average water consumption rate of
234 gallons per day (gpd) per capita.'
The EMWD was formed in 1950 and annexed to Metropolitan in 1951. EMWD serves a 555-square-
mile area including six incorporated cities and unincorporated portions of Riverside County, including
French Valley. EMWD utilizes a variety of water supplies to meet the needs of its customers. Current
supplies include imported water purchased from Metropolitan, locally produced groundwater, and
recycled water produced by five regional water reclamation facilities. The majority of groundwater
supply is produced from groundwater subbasins in the Hemet/San Jacinto area. Slightly over 3,000
af per year are produced from the Perris and Perris South subbasins and blended with imported
water for use in the western portions of EMWD's service area.' The current and projected water
supplies for EMWD through 2020 are shown in Table 5.14-2.

af were consumed by domestic nonagricultural users. With an estimated service area population of
438,345 persons in 2000, water consumption is estimated to be 129 gpd per person4
In accordance with the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act, the City requires that all landscape
designs facilitate the implementation of landscape maintenance practices which foster long-term
conservation. All development proposals must include landscaping and irrigation plans that comply
with the water purveyor's water-efficient landscaping requirements.'
Thresholds Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will result if long-term implementation of the General Plan will result in demand
for water that exceeds planned future supply.

Environmental Impact
General Plan implementation will over the long term, result in new residential and non-residential
development that will demand additional domestic water. RCWD's planned water supplies include
groundwater, imported treated and raw water from Metropolitan, and recycled water' Table 5.14-
1 shows the District's planned water resources in 2020. RCWD anticipates supplying water to
167,460 persons within its service area in 2020. Projected future demand for water within the
district in 2020 is estimated to be 116,800 af/yr, of which 55,991 af/yr will be consumed by
domestic users? The General Plan assumes a year 2025 population of 169,184 within the Planning
Area, a portion of which will be served by RCWD. The RCWO 2000 Urban Water Management Plan
estimates that total system per capita domestic water use averages 234 gpd, therefore, users within
the Planning Area will have a total demand of 44,350 af/yr, a portion of which will be served by
RCWD. Buildout of the General Plan will not result in demand for water service that exceeds
RCWD's planned future supply in 2020. Impact on the RCWD's ability to provide water will be less
than significant. However, increased demand by agriculture and other water users within RCWD's
service area could lead to an impact on future water supply. Therefore, mitigation measures are
recommended that direct the City to assist RCWD in planning for future water supplies, to promote
water conservation programs, and to maximize City use of recycled water.
To meet increased customer service demand through 2020, EMWO plans to bolster water supplies
by desalinating brackish groundwater and expanding groundwater recharge programs. These
planned programs, in conjunction with continued expansion of the District's water recycling
program, will provide a high degree of supply flexibility to meet the growing demand for water
within the district's service area'- Table 5.14-2 shows the District's planned water supplies through
2020. EMWD anticipates supplying water to 756,699 persons within its service area in 2020.
Projected future demand for water is estimated to be 105,421 af/yr of water, excluding agricultural
uses' The General Plan assumes a year 2025 population of 169,184 within the Planning Area, a
portion of which will be served by EMWD. The EMWO 2000 Urban Water Management Plan
estimates that total system per capita domestic water use averages 123 gpd; therefore, users within
the Planning Area will have a total demand of 24,736 af/yr, a portion of which will be served by
EMWD. Buildout of the General Plan will not result in demand for water service that exceeds
EMWD's planned future supply. Impact on EMWD's ability to provide water will be less than
significant. However, increased demand by other water users in the district's service area could
lead to an impact on future water 'supply. Therefore, mitigation measures are recommended that
direct the City to assist EMWD in planning for future water supplies, to promote water conservation
programs, and to maximize City use of recycled water.

Wastewater
Environmental Setting
Wastewater treatment services within the Planning Area are provided by EMWD under regulations
enforced by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. EMWD's Temecula Valley Regional
Water Reclamation Facility serves Temecula, and portions of the city of Murrieta. The facility has
capacity to treat 13.2 million of gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater and to store an additional 25
million gallons on site. Because the T emecula facility is the smallest of EMWD's five reclamation plants,
some wastewater is pumped from the Temecula facility ten miles north to a 450-million-gallon storage
facility in WinchesterlO Currently, EMWD is expanding the wastewater facility from 13.2 mgd to 19.8

mgd. The next expansion of the facility is anticipated to occur around 2014 and will provide
approximately 24 mgd of capacity. I I EMWD projects the 2004 wastewater flow at approximately 11.1
mgd in the service area, which includes the City of Murrieta. EWMD's projection of wastewater
produced within their service area for the General Plan buildout year in 2025 is 16.4 mgd.12
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will occur if long-term implementation of the General Plan will result in demand
for wastewater service that exceeds planned future capacity.
Environmental Impact
Implementation of the General Plan will result in up to 77,504 net new residents, 25,005 net new
dwelling units and 36.2 million net new square feet of non-residential construction over the 20-year
horizon of the General Plan within the Planning Area. The increase in population and development
will require additional wastewater treatment capabilities. EMWD uses generation factors of 300
gallons per day per person for residential development and 3,000 gallons per day per acre of
commercial development to estimate sewage generation. Residential development will be the
major generator of wastewater, with a maximum additional population of 77,504 persons
generating an additional 23.2 mgd. New commercial projects within the Planning Area constructed
pursuant to the General Plan will result in development of up to an additional 932 acres and will
generate approximately 2.8 mgd. Combined with existing wastewater generation within the
Planning Area (11.1 mgd), future wastewater generation under the proposed General Plan will be
approximately 37.1 mgd. The ultimate planned expansion of EMWD's Temecula Valley Regional
Water Reclamation Facility is projected provide a capacity of 54 mgd.13 Estimated future wastewater
treatment demand required to support the project is within the existing capacity of District facilities
currently serving T emecula, and represents roughly 69 percent of the capacity of the planned
, expansion of the Temecula Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility. Impact will be less than
significant.
Mitigation Measures
Impact will be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
level of Impact after Mitigation
Impact is less than significant.

Utilities and Service Systems
Stormwater Drainage
Environmental Setting
The City's Department of Public Works Maintenance Division is responsible for the maintenance of
storm drains and sewers, including pumping stations and catch basins." The City does not maintain a
master drainage plan or a system to assess drainage fees. New developments are required to build the
appropriate infrastructure to connect to the City's storm drain system. The City's stormwater drainage
infrastructure consists of underground systems and a channel system and is designed to handle a 100-
year flood storm event.
As described in Section 5.7, Hazards and Hazardous Materials and Section 5.8, Hydrology and Water
Quality, regional flood control facilities, including major channels and storm drains, are under the
jurisdiction of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD). In
most cases, RCFCWCD does not maintain storm drain inlets or pipes less than 42 inches in
diameter. The RCFCWCD is also responsible for construction of new facilities called for in its
adopted Master Drainage Plan. The Murrieta Creek Area Drainage Plan, implemented by the
RFCWCD, requires collection of drainage fees for developments. Fee revenues are used to support
infrastructure improvements and expansion within the City of T emecula.
Murrieta Creek presents some flood control concerns even though it has been channelized (in part)
and improved for flood control since the 1930s. Flooding problems in the Murrieta Creek
watershed are common and related to inadequate capacity of the existing drainage network,
particularly in Old Town. Frequent overtopping of the Murrieta Creek channel by floodwaters in a
number of channel reaches, flood inundation of structures with attendant damages, and other
water-related problems are caused during major rainstorms, resulting in increased emergency costs,
automobile damage, and traffic disruption. 15
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will occur if long-term implementation of the General Plan will require or result
in the construction of new stormwater drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental effects.
Environmental Impact
Construction of new housing units and commercial and industrial projects throughout the Planning
Area, especially on currently undeveloped lots, will increase the amount of impervious surfaces,
thereby increasing the amount and speed of runoff. Development projects implementing General
Plan land use policy will require construction of additional stormwater drainage facilities throughout
the Planning Area.

The RCFCWCD is addressing the flood control within Temecula through an improvement project in
progress through a contract with the The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The ACOE is
currently working on Phase 1 of the Murrieta Creek Flood Control Environmental Restoration and
Recreation Project, extending downstream from Old Town Temecula to just short of the 1" Street
Bridge. This phase of the ACOE flood control project is addressing the past flooding problems
within the channel reaches that affect T emecula through channel improvements such as bank
enhancements and developing channel capacity to accommodate a 1 DO-year flood. 16
To ensure that adequate flood control capacity is available to support new development, all
proposed development projects within the Planning Area are reviewed by the District prior to
approval by the City of T emecula or Riverside County. New development projects are required to
provide on-site drainage connecting to the City's drainage system and to pay area drainage fees of
$2,291 per acre of development. Drainage fee revenues from the Murrieta Creek Area Drainage
Plan are used to support capacity expansion within the local storm drain system." In addition, all
proposed development projects are reviewed by the RCFCWCD.
Proposed General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs address the impact to City
storm drain facilities. Implementation Program GM-9 directs the City to maintain an effective, safe,
and environmentally compatible flood control system through the following actions:
. Reviewing developer-funded improvements to determine compatibility with existing and
proposed regional, primary and secondary flood control facilities.
. Identifying and prioritizing areas of excessive flooding, and working with the County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District to construct appropriate flood control facilities to
ensure public safety.
. Participating in the preparation of a master drainage plan to establish a basis for funding and
construction of primary and secondary flood control facilities.
Compliance with existing regulations and General Plan Implementation Program GM-9 will ensure a
less than significant impact.

Utilities and Service Systems
Energy
Environmental Setting
Southern California Edison (SCE) supplies electricity to users in T emecula via both underground and
overhead lines. SCE's main substation is located on Mira Lama Drive in Temecula. SCE is a public
utility and therefore functions on demand. Natural gas is provided by the Southern California Gas
Company (Gas Company). Plastic and steel underground lines are located throughout the City. A
small number or residents not serviced by the Gas Company utilize bottled propane or butane fuel.
Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will occur if long-range implementation of the General Plan results in demand
for energy that exceeds the capacity of existing distribution systems or treatment facilities.
Environmental Impact
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 25,005 net new
housing units and 36.2 million net new square feet of nonresidential development over the next 20
years. Development projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan policy will result in
increased demand for energy resources. Tables 5.14-3 and 5.14-4 report the anticipated increases
in demand for electricity and natural gas.

The demand for natural gas is anticipated to increase by approximately 104.49 million cubic feet
(md) per month. The Gas Company will work with the community as new developments are
proposed to construct additional natural gas infrastructure as necessary to meet demand. The Gas
Company will need to consider the future gas supply for their service areas with attentive
consideration since the majority of gas consumed in California is transported from out of state
sources. Individual development projects proposed pursuant to the General Plan will be required to .
assess project impacts during the environmental review process to ensure that the Gas Company
has sufficient natural gas supplies to meet demand.
Proposed General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs address the impact of new
development to energy services. The General Plan emphasizes the efficient development and use
of modern technologies that can minimize energy demand and consumption.
To ensure that future energy supplies are available to support additional development pursuant to
the General Plan, mitigation measures are required. With implementation of mitigation, impact on
energy supplies will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures

Company, and other responsible companies to provide for the continued maintenance,
development, and expansion of electricity and natural gas systems (General Plan

Solid Waste
Environmental Setting
Temecula currently contracts for solid waste disposal with CR&R, Inc. The City offers residential
curbside recyclable and greenwaste collection.18 In 2002, T emecula diverted 47 percent of the
waste generated within the City from landfills to recycling or composting programs." The City has
provided curbside recycling. services since 1991. Curbside recycling is the easiest, most convenient
method of recycling. Recyclable materials are picked up and transported to a center in Stanton for
processing. Garden materials are hauled to a separate facility for composting, and the remaining
waste is hauled to the EI Sobrante and Badlands Landfills in Riverside County. T emecula adopted a
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) in 1993 and continues to use the SRRE to address
issues related to solid waste disposal.
Temecula's nonrecyclable solid waste is transported to the EI Sobrante and Badlands Sanitary
Landfills. EI Sobrante Landfill began operating in 1986 and has a disposal area of 90 acres. The
landfill is authorized to accept as much as 10,000 tons of waste per day; however, the facility
currently accepts on average 8,000 tons of waste per day on weekdays and about 4,000 tons on
Saturdays. At current rates, EI Sobrante has approximately one year of capacity left. The landfill has
proposed a 405-acre expansion, which could extend landfill capacity to 203S.20 Badlands Sanitary

Threshold Used to Determine level of Impact
A significant impact will result if long-term implementation of the General Plan generates solid waste
in a quantity that exceeds local and/or regional disposal capacity.
Environmental Impact
General Plan policies establish land capacity to accommodate substantial new development within
the Planning Area. Implementation of the General Plan creates capacity for up to 25,005 net new
housing units and 36.1 million net new square feet of nonresidential development over the next 20
years. Development projects anticipated to occur pursuant to General Plan policy will result in
increased demand for both solid waste collection and disposal capacity. Table 5.14-5 compares
existing solid waste generation to projected solid waste generation at buildout of the General Plan.
As shown in Table 5.14-5, solid waste generation is anticipated to increase by 425,271 pounds per
day, for a total of about 876,443 pounds per day at General Plan buildout. The City currently offers

6.0 Alternatives to the Project
The following discussion considers alternatives to the proposed General Plan and examines the
potential environmental impacts associated with each alternative. Through comparison of these
alternatives to the project, the relative advantage of each can be weighed and analyzed. The CEQA
Guidelines require that a range of alternatives be addressed, "governed by a rule of reason that
requires the EIR set forth only those alternatives necessary to permit a reasoned choice" (Section
15126.6[f]).
The CEQA Guidelines also state that the discussion of alternatives must focus on alternatives
capable of either eliminating any significant environmental effects of the proposed project or
reducing them to a less than significant level while achieving most of the major project objectives.
The analysis presented in the prior sections of this EIR indicates that adoption and implementation
of the updated General Plan will result in significant, unavoidable short- and long-term air quality
impacts and significant, unavoidable impacts on certain roadway intersections and freeway ramps.
All other impacts will be less than significant or can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
The following analysis also examines variations of the General Plan considered during preparation
of the Plan and that may be considered further during the public hearing process. The following
project alternatives are examined here:
Alternative 1: No Project - 1993 General Plan
Alternative 2: Extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road
Alternative 3: 15 Percent Growth Reduction
None of the above alternatives involves an alternative location. The goals and policies of the
T emecula General Plan are specific to the geographic context of the planning area, which consists
of properties contained within the City's corporate limits and sphere of influence, as well as portions
of unincorporated Riverside County currently outside the City's sphere of influence.
Implementation of the proposed General Plan will achieve the following project objectives drawn
from the General Plan community vision, as outlined in Section 3, Project Description of this EIR:
. A family-focused lifestyle enjoyed by residents while promoting a strong local business
community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries.
. The community continues to be a regional destination for those seeking the desirable
atmosphere of the wineries and historic Old Town.
. A strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and cultural
amenities make T emecula a desirable place for higher education facilities to locate.
. The local circulation system meets the needs of T emecu(a residents and businesses
while calming traffic in residential neighborhoods and near schools. Within this
circulation system, pedestrians and cyclists are able to travel safely and quickly
throughout the community and appropriate pedestrian-oriented mixed commercial
and office uses are concentrated within village centers.

The alternatives analyzed in this EIR are general in nature, as is the project. The degree of specificity
used in the alternatives analysis parallels the approach used for the project, which is programmatic.
The CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.6(d) states, "The EIR shall include sufficient information about
each alternative to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis, and comparison with the proposed project
... If an alternative would cause one or more significant environmental effects in addition to those
that would be caused by the project as proposed, the significant effects of the alternative shall be
discussed, but in less detail than the significant effects of the proposed project (County of Inyo v.
City of Los Angeles [1981)124 Cal.App.3d I)."
No alternative was considered and rejected as part of the General Plan process.

that would exist in the year 2025 if development with the Planning Area and the region continued
to grow at the pace and extent permitted in the 1993 General Plan, and if the 1993 General Plan

Alternatives to the Project
The No Project Alternative, similar to the proposed project, would not have significant impacts with
regard to hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, geology and soils, and
cultural resources since the 1993 Plan provides for basically the same land use patterns as the
proposed Plan, and the analysis in this EIR indicates that the proposed Plan will not create significant
impacts in these areas. Also, with implementation of either the proposed project or the No Project
Alternative, all new development projects would be subject to City, State, and federal regulations
applicable to these issue areas. Compliance with these existing regulations would result in less than
significant levels of impact.
Aesthetics
As with the project, the No Project Alternative would result in additional development throughout
the Planning Area. Future development would result in increased nighttime lighting impacts due to
streetlights, automobile headlights, and security and outdoor lighting. The 1993 General Plan
includes policies and programs to minimize nighttime lighting to protect Palomar Observatory
operations and to minimize impact on surrounding uses. These policies parallel those in the
proposed Plan. Thus, this alternative would have aesthetic impacts similar to those of the proposed
project.
Agricultural Resources
The 1993 General Plan does not designate Rural Preservation Areas, whereas the land Use Element
of the proposed General Plan does. Thus, the No Project Alternative would not protect rural areas
and vineyards/agricultural lands from conversion to residential uses as effectively as the proposed
General Plan. Development of parcels identified within Rural Preservation Areas would proceed in
accordance with current underlying zoning designations. The No Project Alternative would
therefore result in a greater impact on agricultural resources compared to the project.
Air Quality
Air pollutant emissions are tied to traffic volumes. With the No Project Alternative, traffic volumes
on key roadways throughout the Planning Area would increase, as the No Project Alternative would
place a similar number of vehicle trips on a roadway network that does not include the intersection
improvements and proposed roadway widening projects proposed in the Circulation Element
Roadway Plan, nor does the 1993 Plan include new policies addressing the need for public transit
and increased emphasis on the need for regional rail solutions in T emecula. Increased vehicle trips
and increased delays at intersections throughout the Planning Area would increase emissions of
PMlO. CO hot spots could also be created at some intersections due to increased delays. Thus, the
No Project Alternative would result in greater air quality impacts.
Biological Resources
The City of T emecula is a participant in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The MSHCP was ratified in 2003. All new development within the
Planning Area subject to either the proposed project or the No Project Alternative would be
expected to comply with the Western Riverside MSHCP. Therefore, the No Project Alternative
would have similar impacts on biological resources as the project.

However, as discussed in Section 5.9, Land Use and Planning, development pursuant to the SWAP,
particularly within the French Valley area, will result in significant impacts relative to traffic, air
quality, and resources that will be beyond the City's ability to contro/. In addition, the 1993 General
Plan contains policies and programs to ensure that development within the French Valley Airport
area of influence does not conflict with the previously adopted French Valley Airport AlUCP, but
does not include diagrams, policies and programs responsive to the 2004 update of the AlUCP,
which are found in the proposed project.
The No Project Alternative would not implement the proposed Circulation Element Roadway Plan,
which has been developed to improve traffic flow consistent with SCAG's Regional Transportation
Plan. This alternative would not provide for mixed-use development, which is intended to reduce
vehicle trips and intensify development in close proximity to employment centers. In addition, it
would allow for a larger population than is anticipated by the SCAG Regional Comprehensive Plan
and Guide. Therefore, the No Project Alternative would conflict with applicable SCAG plans and
policies, as well as with the currently adopted French Valley Airport AlUCP. Impacts on land use
and planning would thus be greater with the No Project Alternative than with the proposed project.
Noise
New development will generate additional traffic that will increase noise levels along the roadway
network. As described above, the No Project Alternative will result in more housing units and
nonresidential development than the proposed Project. Thus, the No Project Alternative would be
expected to have greater noise impacts associated with vehicle trips and stationary sources.
Population and Housing
The 1993 General Plan was intended to accommodate housing, employment, and public services
for 193,909 persons within the City and Sphere of Influence, which roughly approximates the
Planning Area boundary for the proposed project. This is approximately 24,725 more persons than
is expected to result from implementation of the proposed General Plan. Therefore, population and
housing impacts would be greater with the No Project Alternative than with the proposed project.
Public Services and Recreation
The No Project Alternative would result in 24,725 more persons than the proposed project. Thus,
impacts on public services, including parks and recreational facilities, police and fire services,
libraries, and schools, would be greater with the No Project Alternative.

Alternatives to the Project
Transportation
According to the traffic analysis described in Section 5.13, Transportation, three intersections
(Jefferson Avenue at Winchester Road, Nicolas Road at Winchester Road, and Old Town Front
Street at Rancho California Road) do not currently meet the performance standard of LOS D or
belter. Three freeway ramps (SR-79 South Northbound on-ramp, Winchester Road Southbound off-
ramp, and Rancho California Road Southbound off-ramp) do not meet Caltrans' performance
standard of LOS E. With the No Project Alternative, impacts to these intersections would not be
mitigated through the traffic improvements incorporated in the proposed project, as such measures
are not included in the 1993 Plan. Therefore, these intersections would continue to operate below
the applicable performance standard.
The traffic analysis indicates that a 90 percent increase in average daily trips will occur over the 20-
year planning horizon based on the average growth rate (see page 5.13-12). As described in
Section 5.13, Transportation the project will result in significant and unavoidable impacts at three
intersections and six freeway ramps. Proposed Circulation Element policies direct the City to
identify and reserve necessary rights-of-way for future regional transit lines and facilities, and to
encourage the provision of regional public transportation services and support facilities, particularly
near the 1-15 freeway and within Mixed Use Overlay areas (see Appendix F). Focusing a portion of
future growth within the identified Mixed Use Overlay Areas would contribute fewer vehicle trips
relative to comparable developments along the urban periphery. Further, the proposed Circulation
Element includes numerous roadway improvements that are identified on the Roadway Plan (see
Figure 3-3 in Section 3.0, Project Description) and detailed in Table 5.13-9. The proposed roadway
improvements are expected to correct existing operational deficiencies and help the City better
accommodate existing and anticipated new development throughout the Planning Area. Because
the No Project Alternative would provide for more development than the proposed project and the
updated Roadway Plan - with the enhancements identified above - would not be implemented, the
No Project alternative would have greater traffic/circulation impacts than the proposed project.
Utilities and Service Systems
With the No Project Alternative, buildout would result in a total population of 193,909 persons by
the year 2025. This would result in 24,725 more persons than anticipated with the proposed
project. This additional population would increase demands on water supply, wastewater facilities,
. solid waste facilities, and energy supplies. Although all new development pursuant to the No
Project Alternative would comply with local, State, and federal requirements, including the City's
solid waste reduction ordinance and mandatory water conservation measures, the relatively higher
number of new residents would result in greater impact on utilities and service systems than the
proposed project.
Conclusion:
Development pursuant to the No Project Alternative would not implement the policies and
programs of the proposed General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements. Development would
continue pursuant to the policies of the 1993 General Plan. As a result, the local circulation system
would not meet the needs of T emecula residents and businesses nor calm traffic in residential
neighborhoods and near schools because the existing transportation system is not sufficient to
provide for the efficient flow of traffic throughout the Planning Area. The No Project Alternative
does not specifically provide for mixed-use areas, but rather designates numerous "village centers"

throughout T emecula, several of which have already developed into other more traditional
commercial uses. Therefore, concentrated areas adjacent to 1-15 with an appropriate pedestrian-
oriented mix of commercial, office, and residential uses would not result under the No Project
Alternative. Further, the No Project Alternative would not establish agricultural preservation areas,
the lack of which would hinder the City's objective to be a regional historical and viticultural
destination. In summary, the No Project Alternative would not meet most of the identified project
objectives.
Alternative 2: Extension of North General Kearney Road
from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road
This alternative was conceived as a means of reducing traffic/circulation impacts along several
roadway segments and at intersections in the northwestern portion of the City. In the Meadowview
neighborhood, a number of streets originally planned to provide access into and out of the
community are currently closed. The extension of North General Kearney Road from La Colima
Road to Nicolas Road would add a roadway connection to an area where intersection levels of
service are close to or worse than LOS D. With this Alternative 2, all other provisions of the
General Plan update would be implemented_

The intersection of Ynez Road and Winchester Road is in the vicinity of the North General Kearny
Road extension.
Since the proposed Land Use Policy map does not differ between the proposed project and
Alternative 2, Alternative 2 would not reduce overall trip generation within the Planning Area. As
shown in Table 6-2, under Alternative 2, ADT volumes would decrease on three roadway segments:
Winchester Road south of Nicolas Road, Nicolas Road east of Winchester Road, and Margarita
Road south of Winchester Road. Also, trallic would be redirected to three other roadway segments
- Overland Road west of Margarita Road, General Kearney Road east of Margarita Road, and
General Kearney Road south of Nicolas Road - with a lower base case ADT.
Table 6-3 shows peak A.M. and P.M. ICU both for the base case and with the extension at the three
closest study intersections to the North General Kearny Road extension. While all three
intersections would be expected to decrease ICU under Alternative 2, the Ynez Road and
Winchester Road intersection would remain deficient and would operate at LOS E during the P.M.
peak hour. Thus, traffic/circulation impacts would be similar with Alternative 2 relative to the
proposed project.
Air Quality
Air quality impacts are closely tied to traffic volumes. Because no change is proposed to the Land
Use Policy Map, the trip generation for Alternative 2 would remain the same as for the proposed
project. Similar to the proposed project, as a result of increased vehicle trips and increased delays
at intersections located throughout the Planning Area, air pollutant emissions of PMlO would be
expected to increase in excess of the SCAQMD threshold of significance. More efficient
functioning of the intersections surrounding the proposed extension may lead to reduced idling
times and lower emissions in the localized area. However, this impact requction cannot be reliably
predicted. Therefore, air quality impacts must be considered similar to those associated with the
proposed project.

Alternatives to the Project
Alternative 2 would have comparable environmental impacts in all other issue areas because all
other provisions of the proposed project would be implemented.
Conclusion:
During preparation of the General Plan, the public expressed an interest to keep selected streets in
the Meadowview area closed to through traffic. The extension of North General Kearney Road
from La Colima Road to Nicolas Road was thus not included on the Circulation Element Roadway
Plan. Alternative 2 would add the extension of North General Kearney Road to the Roadway Plan;
this extension would improve the operating conditions of surrounding roadway segments and
intersections. Alternative 2 would not, however, achieve the project objective of creating a local
circulation system that meets the needs of T emecula residents and businesses while calming traffic
in the residential neighborhoods of the Meadowview area.

Alternative 3: 15 Percent Growth Reduction
This alternative was conceived as a means of reducing environmental impacts of the proposed
project by reducing development capacity within the Planning Area to levels comparable to
projections published by SCAG.
Similar to the proposed project, Alternative 3 would not result in significant impacts with regard to
hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, geology and soils, and cultural
resources. All future development would be subject to City, State, and federal regulations

As discussed in Section 5.11, Population and Housing, T emecula has a 2004 total population of
77,460 persons.' In the year 2025, SCAG projects a population of 96,967 persons within
Temecula's corporate boundaries.' These forecasts do not include areas within the sphere of
influence or other unincorporated parts of the Planning Area. The population growth rate between
2005 and 2025 estimated by SCAG is 2.9 percent per year for Riverside County. Therefore, with
this Alternative 3, the City would adopt the proposed General Plan, but modifications would be
made to the proposed Land Use Element and map and the Circulation Element Roadway Plan such
that net new residential development would be reduced by 15 percent citywide relative to the
proposed project. This would result in a total population of approximately 96,407 persons living in
31,141 housing units within the current City limits, and a total of 143,806 persons living in 46,484
housing units within the Planning Area in the year 2025. These figures are more comparable to the
adopted SCAG 2025 forecasts for T emecula than the proposed project. All other goals and policies
of the proposed project would remain the same, including the establishment of Mixed Use Overlay
Areas, Rural Preservation Areas, and the French Valley Future Growth Area, as well as the
introduction of the Vineyards/Agriculture designation.

Alternatives to the Pro;ect
applicable to these issue areas. Compliance with these existing regulations would result in less than
significant impacts.
Aesthetics
As with the proposed project, Alternative 3 would result in additional development throughout the
Planning Area, which would increase the amount of nighttime lighting. Development within the
Planning Area would continue to be guided by proposed General Plan policy and City
Development Code requirements restricting the type of lighting than can be used within the
Palomar Observatory lighting impact lones. As this alternative would result in less overall
development than the proposed project, Alternative 3 would have reduced lighting impacts.
Agricultural Resources
Alternative 3 would result in approximately 15 percent less development than the proposed project
but would not affect the land use designation of areas east of T emecula as Vineyards! Agriculture;
neither would Alternative 3 affect the assignment of valuable farmland areas to Rural Preservation
Areas, as described in the proposed land Use Element. Thus, Alternative 3 would not result in
additional conversion of land from agricultural to nonagricultural uses compared to the project, and
impact on agricultural resources would be similar under this alternative.
Air Quality
Air quality impacts are closely tied to traffic volumes. Alternative 3 would lead to 15 percent less
growth than the proposed project and would therefore be expected to result in fewer vehicle trips.
Air pollutant emissions of PMlO would also be expected to decrease relative to the proposed
project. However, given strong regional growth forecasts for Western Riverside County, the
imposition by the City of Temecula of a growth limitation would most likely lead to increased
development pressure in surrounding and nearby communities, including within sphere areas
currently controlled by Riverside County, and possibly within the City of Murrieta. With the 1-15
Freeway and SR-79 passing through the City, increased growth outside of Temecula would still
generate substantial traffic and yield significant and adverse air quality impacts within the Planning
Area. Therefore, Alternative 3 would be expected to have a similar air quality impacts to the
project.
Biological Resources
All new development pursuant to Alternative 3 would be expected to comply with provisions of the
Western Riverside County MSHCP and biological resource implementation programs established
within the General Plan and described in Section 5.4, Biological Resources of this EJR. Therefore,
Alternative 3 would have similar impacts on biological resources as the project.
land Use and Planning
Alternative 3 would allow future development to occur at a level consistent with projections
adopted for SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide and Regional Transportation Plan.
Therefore, this alternative would not exceed SCAG growth projections.

Noise
I
I
I
Alternatives to the Project
Noise impacts are closely tied to traffic volumes. Alternative 3 would create capacity for
development generating approximately 85 percent of the total traffic volume of the proposed
project. Therefore, this alternative would have a reduced noise impact relative to the project.
I
I
Population and Housing
As described above, this alternative assumes growth in accordance with SCAG population
projections, which would result in 25,378 fewer persons than the proposed project. Therefore,
Alternative 3 would result in reduced population and housing relative to the proposed project.
Public Services and Recreation
I
I
I
I
I
I
Alternative 3 would result in 25,378 fewer persons than the proposed project, resulting in a
decreased demand for public facilities relative to the proposed project. Impacts on public facilities,
including parks and recreational facilities, police and fire services, libraries, and schools would thus
be reduced with Alternative 3 relative to the project.
Transportation
Changes in allowable densities and land use designations required within the Land Use Element
with Alternative 3 would result in reduced development levels and therefore fewer average daily
vehicle trips compared to the project. This could reduce identified traffic impacts on roadways,
freeways, and intersections. However, given strong regional growth forecasts for Western Riverside
County, the imposition by the City of T emecula of such a growth limitation would most likely lead
to increased development pressure in surrounding and nearby communities, including within sphere
areas currently controlled by Riverside County, and possibly within the City of Murrieta. With the 1-
15 freeway and SR-79 passing through the City, increased growth outside of T emecula could still
yield significant and adverse transportation impacts within the Planning Area. Therefore, Alternative
3 would be expected to have a similar transportation impacts relative to the project.
Utilities and Service Systems
I
I
I
I
Alternative 3 would result in reduced demand for all utilities and service systems, including water
supply, wastewater service, solid waste disposal service, and energy supplies. All new development,
like the proposed project, would be required to comply with existing federal, State, and local
regulations regarding solid waste diversion, and General Plan policies directing the City to
encourage the use of low-flow toilets and other applicable water conservation measures would still
be required. However, a reduced buildout population would reduce impacts on utilities and service
systems relative to the proposed project.
Conclusion:
I
I
Although development in accordance with SCAG population projections would reduce impacts
with regard to aesthetics, land use and planning, public facilities and recreation, and utilities and
service systems, it would not achieve a number of critical project objectives. Alternative 3 would
not fully implement the proposed Circulation Element Roadway Plan, which is intended to ensure
that the local circulation system meets the needs of T emecula residents and businesses while

Alternatives to the Project
calming traffic in residential neighborhoods and near schools; not all identified roadway
improvements may be required under the reduced trip generation associated with this Alternative.
Reduced development may not provided for a greater diversity of housing options to meet the
needs of all segments of the community, as residential densities may need to be reduced and
housing construction may need to be restricted to ensure that population targets are not exceeded.
Both of these actions may lead to higher housing costs and restrict the diversity of housing options
available in T emecula for all income ranges. Further, Alternative 3 could compromise the
development of a strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and
cultural amenities that make T emecula a desirable place to locate because development would be
restricted in such a way that not all aspects of the City would be permitted to grow. Alternative 3
would reduce population growth to a level more consistent with SCAG projections. However, it
does not achieve many of the most critical project objectives as effectively as the proposed project.
Environmentally Preferred Alternative
Table 6-4 summarizes the impacts of each of the Alternatives relative to the project.
Based on the above analysis, the proposed project is the Environmentally Preferred Alternative. The
No Project Alternative generally would have the same significant unavoidable impacts as the
proposed project and would introduce several new significant impacts related to agricultural
resources, air quality, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services and
recreation, transportation, and utilities and service systems. Further, the No Project Alternative
would fail to meet many of the project objectives.
Alternative 2 has the potential to achieve a modest reduction in air pollutant emissions, but this
impact reduction cannot be reliably quantified or predicted. As such, comparable or increased
traffic and air quality impacts must be assumed. However, this alternative does achieve most
project objectives.
The ability of Alternative 3 to address significant unavoidable cumulative traffic and air quality
impacts is also uncertain. Growth pressure in western Riverside County is strong; reduced
development in T emecula would likely lead to increased pressure for development north of the
Planning Area, which would use roadways and freeways traversing the City. This alternative would,
however, result in reduced environmental impacts relative to aesthetics, land use and planning,
noise, population and housing, public services and recreation, and utilities and service systems. This
alternative would fail to meet many critical project objectives.
The proposed project is thus the Environmentally Preferred Alternative in that it results in the lowest
level of significant unavoidable impacts and best achieves the project objectives relative to the
other alternatives considered.

7.0 Cumulative and
Long-Term Effects
The CEQA Guidelines Section 15130 et.seq. requires the discussion of cumulative impacts, growth-
inducing impacts, and significant irreversible environmental changes of a project. The following
sections address each of these issues as they relate to adoption and implementation of the General
Plan.
Cumulative Effects
The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15355) define a cumulative impact as "an impact which is created as
a result of the combination of the project evaluated in the EIR together with other projects causing
related impacts." The Guidelines further state that" an EIR should not discuss impacts which do not
result in part from the evaluated project."
Section 15130(a) of the CEQA Guidelines requires a discussion of cumulative impacts of a project
"when the project's incremental effect is cumulatively considerable." Cumulatively considerable, as
defined by Section 15065(c), "means that the incremental effects of an individual project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future projects."
The Guidelines allow for the use of two alternative methods to determine the scope of projects for
the cumulative impact analysis:
. List Method - A list of past, present and probable future projects producing related or
cumulative impacts, including, if necessary, those projects outside the control of the agency.
. Regional Growth Projections Method - A summary of projects contained in an adopted
general plan or related planning document or in a prior environmental document which has
been adopted or certified, which described or evaluated regional or area wide conditions
contributing to the cumulative impact (Section 15130).
The project is a comprehensive update of the T emecula General Plan, which affects the City and
surrounding areas within and beyond the City's sphere of influence (referred to together as the
Planning Area) as a whole. Cumulative citywide impacts have been addressed in the preceding
analysis in this EIR. A broader examination of cumulative impacts considering the project together
with growth within the region is also required. Therefore, the Regional Growth Projections Method
is an appropriate methodology for evaluating cumulative impacts as it provides general growth
projections for the region and considers long-term growth.
Table 7-1 shows SCAG population and household projections for the City ofTemecula (a portion of
the Planning Area) and the Western Riverside County Council of Governments (WRCOG) region

Geographic Scope of Cumulative Impact Analysis
Except where noted, the Western Riverside Couhcil of Governments (WRCOG) generally defines
the geographic scope of the cumulative analysis.' In the following discussion, the WRCOG area is
referred to as "the region." .

I
Aesthetics
Light levels throughout the Temecula Valley will increase as new housing units and commercial,
industrial and institutional projects are developed pursuant to the General Plans of T emecula,
Murrieta, and Riverside County. Depending upon the location and scope of individual
development projects, the impact to surrounding uses could be significant, and mitigation measures
are required. If future development increases the amount of nighttime lighting throughout the
region, operations of the Palomar Observatory may be compromised. The City'of Temecula has'
addressed its contribution to potential light pollution through the implementation of mitigation
measures identified. in Section 5.1, Aesthetics. Riverside County and Murrieta have. adopted similar
regulations. Therefore, no cumulative impact will result.
I
I
Future development throughout the region will result in the continued conversion of agricultural
land to nonagricultural uses. As discussed in Section 5.2, Agricultural Resources, within the
Temecula Planning Area, land use policy will result in the conversion of approximately 0.01 percent
(one one-hundredth of one percent) of the land currently in agricultural use.. The Temecula General
Plan includes several policies that recognize agricultural uses and vineyards both as important
historic uses within the Planning Area, as well as valuable contributors to the region's economy.
The General Plan also allows continuation of agricultural businesses that wish to operate in the short
term or indefinitely. Since the City will implement the mitigation.measuresidentified in Section 5.1,
Aesthetics, it will not contribute to any cumulatively significant loss of agricultural resources.

Cumulative and Long-Term Effects
Air Quality
The geographic scope for air quality is the South Coast Air Basin (the Basin). Air pollutant levels in
the Basin regularly exceed State and federal air quality standards. Development forecast for the
region will generate increased emission levels from construction, transportation, and stationary
sources. Cumulative impacts will be partially reduced by the implementation and achievement of
emissions levels identified in the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan and air quality
components within the County of Riverside General Plan and General Plans of other local
jurisdictions. However, combined emissions from T emecula and other developed areas within the
Basin are expected to continue to exceed State and federal standards. Potential short- and long-
term cumulative air quality impacts will be significant and unavoidable despite mitigation
incorporation described in Section 5.3, Air Quality.
Biological Resources
Several sensitive habitats and species are known to exist within the Planning Area and throughout
the region. Although all sensitive species and habitats are protected by CEQA and are subject to
regulation by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and
Game (CDFG), adoption and implementation of the General Plan, together with implementation of
General Plans of other regional jurisdictions, could result in cumulatively significant impacts to a
variety of sensitive habitats and species as a result of grading, excavation, and construction activities
associated with construction of community facilities, private development projects, and street and
utility improvements. In addition, implementation of development projects could produce
deleterious edge effects that will adversely modify native vegetation located adjacent to
development areas.
To address regional biological resource preservation and protection concerns, Riverside County,
T emecula, and other jurisdictions in the region are active participants in the Riverside County
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Direct and indirect cumulative impacts on
biological resources will generally be reduced to a less than significant level through compliance
with existing federal and State regulations, implementation of the MSHCP, and implementation of
the mitigation measures detailed in Section 5.4, Biological Resources. With these measures,
cumulative biological resources impacts will be less than significant.
Cultural Resources
Development pursuant to the T emecula General Plan and General Plans of other regional
jurisdictions will occur on vacant sites that could contain archaeological or paleontological
resources. Unknown archaeological sites, structures, and fossils could be unearthed during
excavation and grading activities for development projects. In developed areas, development
activity facilitated by Plan policies could impact historic resources. At the regional level, compliance
with CEQA requirements regarding prehistoric resources, as set forth in Sections 21083.2 and
15064.5, will avoid impact. T emecula will guard against impact on historic and paleontological
resources through long-term application of mitigation measures identified in Section 5.5, Cultural
Resources. No cumulative impact will result.

Geology and Soils
The General Plan Public Safety Element includes goals, policies and programs that direct the City to
identify and mitigate adverse impacts of geologic hazards at the project level, to apply and enforce
seismic design standards and building construction codes for new development, to monitor the
potential for seismic events, and to establish development management techniques to lessen the
potential for erosion and landslides. Nevertheless, development pursuant to the General Plan,
combined with similar development activities throughout the reigon, may lead to increased erosion
or loss of top soil. Within T emecula, impact will be reduced to a less than significant level with
implementation of mitigation measures identified in Section 5.5, Geology and Soils. Regionally,
developers will be required to comply with local grading and runoff control regulations. Cumulative
impact will be less than significant.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
I
I
I
I
Development of new residential, commercial, and industrial land uses throughout the Temecula
Planning Area and the region will result in increased use of hazardous materials and increased
transport of such materials regionally. Such materials are strictly regulated to avoid risk of upset and
exposure of persons to associated hazards. Development activity may also result in the reuse of
contaminated properties. Any new development that involves contaminated property will
necessitate the clean up and/or remediation of the property in accordance with applicable federal,
State, and local requirements and regulations.
All land use development entitlements within the area of influence of French Valley Airport must be
approved by the Riverside County Airport land Use Commission (AlUC) to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare, ensure continued orderly use of the airport, and prevent the creation of
new noise and safety problems. With regard to wildland fire hazards, the City will continue to
reduce the potential for dangerous fires by concentrating development in previously developed
areas where the risk of wildland fire is lower; by protecting hillside areas from further expansion of
the urban-wildland interface; by encouraging residents to plant and maintain drought-resistant, fire-
retardant landscape species on slopes to reduce the risk of brush fire and soil erosion; and by
working with the County Fire Department to control hazardous vegetation. Regional jurisdictions
that rely upon the County Fire Department for service will be subject to similar requirements.
Compliance with existing federal, State, and local regulations and plans regarding hazardous
materials, flooding, and wildland fire will result in a less than significant cumulative impact.
Hydrology and Water Quality

To avoid groundwater depletion, a conjunctive use program has been negotiated between RCWD,
EMWD, and Western Municipal Water District to recharge the Murrieta-Temecula groundwater
basin and other groundwater basins serving the City and other jurisdictions served by these water
agencies. The 1940 Stipulated Judgment in Santa Margarita v. Vail and Appropriations Permit 7032
issued by the State Water Resources Control Board establish yearly safe yield groundwater
withdrawal amounts for each of the water service providers. The water master determines the safe
annual yield based on annual audits of the groundwater basin, including how much water was
withdrawn from and recharged to the aquifer. Water service providers must purchase imported
water or utilize recycled water supplies based on the water master's yearly determination.

supply. However, increased development throughout region, especially on currently undeveloped
lots, will increase the amount of impervious surfaces, thereby increasing the amount and speed of
runoff, which may impact water quality. Thus, new development projects are required to provide
on-site drainage and pay area drainage fees. Compliance with existing regulations, including NPDES
regulations applicable to construction activities and larger developments, will ensure a less than
significant cumulative water quality and supply impact.
land Use and Planning
The T emecula General Plan has been drafted with recognition of land use policies of surrounding
jurisdictions, particularly at interface areas. Implementation of policies within the Land Use Element
will not alter existing land use pattems in well-established parts of the City, and will establish a
framework to control phasing of development, project design, and infrastructure improvements in
the French Valley area through a long-range annexation strategy. Mitigation measures identified in
Section 5.9, Land Use and Planning will ensure compatibility with the Southwest Area Plan,
Redevelopment Plan, and Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Cumulative
impact will be less than significant.
Noise
Increased development at the regionai"level will increase traffic volumes and associated noise levels.
Significant noise levels already exist along many of the transportation corridors traversing the
Planning Area and the region. Implementing the City and County noise ordinances, constructing
buildings according to State acoustical standards, and implementing the Land Use Plan to avoid
land/use noise compatibility conflicts will ensure cumulative noise impacts will be less than
significant.
Population and Housing
The proposed General Plan creates capacity for development of up to 25,005 net new residential
dwelling units, providing housing for up to 77,504 additional persons. As shown previously in Table
7-1, Temecula comprised approximately 5 percent of overall WRCOG population and households
in 2000. At buildout of the proposed General Plan in 2025, these proportions are projected to
remain constant.
Proposed General Plan Land Use Element policies and programs are designed to accommodate
City and regional population growth forecast to occur within the Planning Area by the year 2025.
Given historical growth patterns and growth management policies contained within the proposed
General Plan, implementation of the Plan will not substantially increase population beyond that
already projected to occur within the Planning Area. Furthermore, as described in Section 5.9, Land
Use and Planning, the proposed General Plan is consistent with SCAG's growth management
policies. The proposed General Plan will not contribute to significant cumulative population and
housing impacts.
Public Services and Recreation
Future regional growth will result in increased demand for law enforcement services, fire protection
and emergency services, schools, libraries, parks and recreation, and other public facilities. Service

providers must continue to evaluate the levels of service desired and the funding sources available
to meet increases in demand. Although the ability of local service providers to provide specific
levels of service varies throughout the region, each jurisdiction within the region must coordinate
with service providers. General Plan policies for T emecula direct the City to meet the public service
and recreation needs of future residents in a measured manner to pace development with the
availability of services Through implementation of such policies and the mitigation measures
identified in Section 5.12, Public Services and Recreation, T emecula will do its part to reduce
potential cumulative impacts to a less than significant level.
Transportation
The traffic analysis conducted for this project accounts for both new trips generated by the project,
and regional growth through 2025 according to land use plans within the RClP, the San Diego
County General Plan, and the City of Murietta General Plan. As described in Appendix C and
summarized in Section 5.13, Transportation, the analysis indicates that significant impacts will result
at three intersections and six freeway ramps at buildout in 2025.. As development occurs within the
Planning Area pursuant to the General Plan and within the region pursuant to plans adopted by
neighboring jurisdictions, traffic volumes carried by the regional circulation system will increase.
While implementation of the proposed Circulation Element Roadway Plan will reduce cumulative
transportation impacts to some extent, traffic generated by new development in the Planning Area
and throughout the WRCOG region over the next 20 years will continue to contribute to overall
traffic congestion in the region. Cumulative impact on roadways and intersections will be significant
and unavoidable.
New development throughout the region must comply with the Rancho California Water District's
and/or Eastern Municipal Water District's water and sewer service master plans. Fees will be paid as
required to fund infrastructure and thus avoid cumulative impact.
Future development in the region will add substantial volumes of solid waste to the waste stream.
The California Waste Management Act of 1989 .(AS 939) requires all cities to reduce waste within
their boundaries through source reduction and recycling. All jurisdictions within the region will be
required to continue to reduce waste generation and divert materials from regional landfills.
Compliance with existing local, county, and State regulations ensures a less than significant
cumulative impact.

Cumulative and Long-Term Effects
Growth-Inducing Impacts
CEQA Guidelines Section 1 S126.2(d) requires that an EIR discuss the growth-inducing impact of the
project. Growth inducement includes, "ways in which the proposed project could foster economic
or population growth, or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the
surrounding environment. Included in this are projects which could remove obstacles to population
growth (a major expansion of a waste water treatment plant might, for example, allow for more
construction in service areas)."
The General Plan will allow for an increase of approximately 25,005 net new housing units and 36.2
million net new square feet of nonresidential development. The associated increase in population
and employment-generating uses has the potential to induce growth in areas outside of the Planning
Area through extension of urban development and services. However, the Planning Area is already
surrounded by residential uses in unincorporated Riverside County. Future growth in these areas is
controlled by the County of Riverside General Plan land use policies and transportation plans, as
described in Section 5.9, Land Use and Planning.
The General Plan is specifically intended to provide for orderly development and redevelopment in
Temecula, to define the limits of such development, and to act as a mechanism to accommodate
and control future development. The project does not have the potential to induce growth in
surrounding areas since these areas have been and will continue to be developed pursuant to the
Southwest Area Plan, which is part of the County of Riverside General Plan. The General Plan
represents the City's primary opportunity to control phasing of development, project design, and
infrastructure improvements by annexing properties into the City prior to project approvals by the
County. To achieve these purposes, the City has developed a land use plan for the French Valley
Area (shown on the Land Use Policy Map) and has designated this area as a Future Growth Area.
The intent of these steps is to ensure that future annexations are beneficial additions to the City and
to minimize impacts of future development in unincorporated Riverside County on City roads and
infrastructure. Thus, the General Plan is not deemed to have any growth-inducing effect.
Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes
For EIRs prepared for the adoption of a plan, CEQA Guidelines Section 15127 requires a discussion
of irreversible environmental changes. Development pursuant to the General Plan will result in
consumption of non-renewable energy resources and thus will have an irreversible effect on such
resources. The General Plan will result in development of urban uses in areas that are currently
vacant. Once land is developed, reverting to a less urban use or open space is highly unlikely.
Development in the Planning Area pursuant to the General Plan will also constrain future land use
options.
Several irreversible commitments of limited resources will result from implementation of the
General Plan. These resources include, but are not limited to the following: lumber and other
related forest products; sand, gravel, and concrete; asphalt; petrochemical construction materials;
steel, copper, lead and other metals; and water consumption. Development pursuant to the
General Plan will result in a long-term commitment to the consumption of fossil fuel oil, natural gas,

and gasoline. These increased energy demands relate to construction, lighting, heating and cooling

The analysis in Section 5 of this EIR concludes that implementation of the General Plan will result in
significant, unavoidable, project-level and cumulative impacts in the following areas:

Description of the Project
The City of Temecula adopted its first General Plan in 1993. In 2001, the City began a comprehensive update
program for the General Plan. The project is the adoption and implementation of the City of Temecula General
Plan Update. The updated General Plan addresses the seven State mandated general plan elements (land
use, housing, circulation, safety, open space, conservation, and noise), as well as other issues that are
important to the community, including growth management, economic development, air quality, and community
design. The Housing Element was recently updated in 2002, and thus is not being comprehensively updated
as part of this program. .
The updated General Plan will guide physical development within the Temecula Planning Area over the next
20 years. The General Plan establishes a vision for the City, emphasizing a family-focused lifestyle while
promoting a strong local business community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries, so
that the community remains an attractive and enjoyable place to live, work, and play.
Regional Setting
Temecula is located in southwestern Riverside County. The City is bordered by the De Luz area to the west,
the City of Murrieta and Murrieta Hot Springs to the north, unincorporated County of Riverside land to the east,
and the Pechanga Indian Reservation, Bureau of Land Management lands, and unincorporated portions of San
Diego County to the south. Interstate 15 bisects the western portion of Ternecula from north to south. SR-79
North (Winchester Road) provides regional access between Ternecula and the Hernet/San Jacinto area. The
two major east-west roadways are SR-79 South and Rancho California Road. Figure 1 shows the city's
location in a regional context and outlines the Planning Area.

Planning Area
The Temecula Planning Area consists of properties contained within the City's corporate limits and sphere of
infiuence, as well as portions of unincorporated Riverside County currently outside the City's sphere of
influence. The sphere of influence consists of open space, undeveloped land, some residential development,
vineyards/agricultural land, the French Valley Airport, and the Pechanga Indian Reservation. The remainder of
the Planning Area consists primarily of undeveloped land and vineyards/agricultural land. The entire Planning
Area encompasses 31,542 net acres, with 14,766 acres within the City corporate limits and 16,776 acres within
the sphere of influence and the remainder of the Planning Area.
Purpose and Objectives of the General Plan
The General Plan establishes a comprehensive community vision for Temecula with regard to land use,
housing, circulation, safety, open space/conservation, noise, growth management, and economic
development. The vision for the community is based on the following principles:
. A family-focused lifestyle enjoyed by residents while promoting a strong local business community and
agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries.
. The community continues to be a regional destination for those seeking the desirable atmosphere of the
wineries and historic Old Town.
. A strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and cultural amenities make
Temecula a desirable place for higher education facilities to locate.
. The local circulation system meets the needs of Temecula residents and businesses while calming traffic in
residential neighborhoods and near schools. Within this circulation system, pedestrians and cyclists are
able to travel safely and quickly throughout the community and appropriate pedestrian-oriented mixed
commercial and office uses are concentrated within village centers.
. Commercial, office, and light industrial uses locate and thrive in Temecula, providing fiscal stability to the
City and a revenue source to finance community improvements and open space resources, including
cultural art centers, community centers, and parks.
. Diverse housing options are available to meet the needs of all segments of the community while protecting
the character and value of single-family neighborhoods.
. High quality education is offered and children are provided strong role models and training for a successful
future.
. Properties are well maintained so the community remains an attractive and enjoyable place to live, work,
and play.
Based on these principles, the General Plan defines long-term community goals and decision-making policies
through text and maps in each of ten elements (or chapters). Each element also includes implementation
programs describing actions or strategies corresponding to adopted goals and policies. The recommended
implementation programs serve as the basis for future programming decisions related to the assignment of
staff and expenditure of City funds.

I Project Characteristics
Iln terms of guiding physical development within the Planning Area, the General Plan components of primary
importance are the Land Use and Circulation Elements. Other Elements of the General Plan are Open
Space/Conservation, Growth Management, Public Safety, Noise, Air Quality, Community Design, Economic
I Development, and Housing. The General Plan also contains an Introduction chapter that establishes the
planning context for Temecula and defines an overall vision to guide planning and decision making.
Land Use Element
I The Land Use Element describes the economic, social, physical, and cultural aspects of the Temecula
Planning Area. Determining the future location, type, and intensity of new development and reuse projects,
I and establishing the desired mix and relationship between such projects are the primary objectives.. The
proposed land use designations identify the types and nature of development permitted throughout the
Planning Area, providing a mix of land uses to achieve a suitable inventory of housing for a range of income
I groups, a viable commercial and employment base for residents and surrounding communities, ample open
space and recreational opportunities, adequate public facilities and services, and high-quality urban and rural
lifestyles for residents and visitors to enjoy.
I The residential land use designations are:

I The Land Use Element addresses infill residential and commercial development within the City through the
designation of three Mixed Use Overlay Areas. These areas are located within the City's Redevelopment
Project Area and generally surround the 1-15 corridor. These overlay areas provide for development with a
I mix of residential and non-residential uses guided by underlying land use designations. Each Mixed Use
Overlay Area has different density and intensity standards, responding directly to the available capacity of the
surrounding roadway network, defined using a daily trip cap applicable to each area. Within the daily trip cap,
I flexible, high-quality design and creative mixes of adjacent uses are encouraged. .
Rural areas are addressed in the Limd Use Element through the designation of four Rural Preservation Areas,
I with the following specific goals for each area:
. Nicolas Valley: Promote continued development of large lot, Very Low Density Residential units;
provision of rural infrastructure services; and conservation of open space surrounding Santa Gertrudis
Creek.
Rainbow Canyon and Great Oak Ranch: Preserve the hillsides in the southern portion of the Planning
Area and prevent residential encroachment upon BLM preservation areas by promoting only Hillside,
Rural, Very Low or Low Density Residential development, and conserving a significant portion of the
area as open space.
I Land Use Element policies also establish a French Valley Future Growth Area, located north of the current City
boundary. Within this area, the City will adopt a land use plan (shown on the Preliminary Draft Land Use
Policy Map) to direct development in the area in order to improve traffic conditions within the City, avoid
I developing more land than necessary at urban densities, and meet infrastructure needs.
Circulation Element
I The Circulation Element addresses needed improvements to the existing transportation system, including local
and regional roadways, transit, railways, and multi-use trails, to meet increased demands over the next 20
I years.
Open Space/Conservation Element
I The Open Space/Conservation Element contains goals, policies and implementation programs that encourage
conservation and management of natural resources, including: biological/ecological resources, water
I resources, ener.gy resources, agricultural resources, and open space. The Element also ensures the provision
of parks and recreation opportunities and preservation of the City's historic and cultural heritage.

Public Safety Element
The purpose of the Public Safety Element is to identify and address natural features, characteristics and
human activities in or near Temecula that represent potential hazards to residents, structures, public facilities,
and infrastructure. The Public Safety Element establishes policies to minimize potential danger to persons and
property, establishes programs to regulate development in hazard-prone areas, and identifies actions to
manage emergency situations. Potential natural hazards addressed in the Element include geologic instability,
seismic events, wild land fires, flooding, and dam failures. Potential human-caused hazards addressed in the
Element include hazardous materials and waste handling, nuclear power production (at San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station, located 25 miles west of the Planning Area), and criminal activity.
Noise Element
The policies and programs provided in the Noise Element are designed to protect the quality of life within
residential neighborhoods, schools, and other noise-sensitive uses, and to protect these sensitive areas from
the persistent hazards of excessive noise.
Air Quality Element
The Air Quality Element establishes a policy foundation to implement local air quality improvement measures
and provides a framework for coordination of air quality planning efforts with surrounding jurisdictions.
Community Design Element
The Community Design Element addresses the physical aspects of Temecula that contribute to the image and
character of the natural and built environments. This element establishes a policy foundation to implement
both city-wide and focused area design criteria.
Economic Development Element
The Economic Development Element provides policies to improve the economic viability of Temecula through
the provision of balanced employment and housing opportunities, the attrC!ction and retention of businesses,
and the promotion of fiscal strength and stability in the community.

1.3. through 1.c. The natural features of the Temecula Planning Area provide a scenic setting for the community.
Topographical features include the western and southern ridgelines, hillsides in the northern area, and water features
including Murrieta and Temecula Creeks and the Santa Margarita River. The Planning Area contains a number of
wineries and agricultural resources, as well large expanses of open space, particularly in the sphere of influence. The
City's built environment contains parkways and slopes along roadways that function as open space amenities.
Temecula's location and natural selling provide spectacular views of local wineries, agriculture and the rolling hills of the
southern, eastern, and western areas, as well as of Murrieta and Temecula Creeks.
I
I
The goals and policies of the Open Space/Conservation Element are intended to conserve open space areas for a
balance of recreation, scenic enjoyment, and protection of natural resources and features. The Land Use Element
contains Rural Preservation Areas to preserve the rural nature of specific areas, including viticulture within the Planning
Area. The Community Design Element preserves the natural and historical aspects of the community's rural character
and viewsheds through the following goals and policies:
I
I
Goal 5 Protection of public views of significant natural features.
I
Policy 5.1 Work with the County of Riverside to protect surrounding hillside areas from inappropriate grading and
development that affects the visual backdrop of the valley.
I
Policy 5.2 Retain critical escarpment and major hillside areas to preserve open space areas on the west and south
edges of the City.
I
Policy 5.3 Establish a program to acquire, or permanently protect, critical hillside areas from development.
Policy 5.4 Promote development of turn-outs on scenic roads.
I
Policy 5.5 Require re-vegetation and maintenance of graded slope areas.
Policy 5.6 Promote and implement underground utilities (cable, power, etc.) where feasible.
I
To preserve public views of significant natural resources, all new public and private development projects will be reviewed
to ensure that they will not obstruct public views of scenic resources, such as the hillsides, scenic roads, or significant I
open space areas. During the review of individual projects, the Community Development Department may require site
redesign or place height limits on projects that have the potential to block views. New projects will also be reviewed to
ensure that the proposed landscaping and tree planting will not obstruct views of significant natural resources. I
Implementation of the identified policies through this review process will ensure that impact will be less than significant on
a project-by-project basis.
1.d. Some future development pursuant to the General Plan may generate shadows or glare depending on the type of I
building materials used and/or placement of the building. This issue will be addressed in the EIR.

2.a. and 2.c. The Planning Area contains approximately 2,247 acres of land designated for agriculture and vineyard use,
. some of which is Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland according to the California
Resources Agency. Agricultural land in the Planning Area is used primarily for viticulture in vineyard areas.
Future development pursuant to land use designations established in the proposed Land Use Element may result in the
. conversion of approximately 17 acres of farmland to non-agricultural use. The General Plan Land Use Element goals and
policies are intended to maintain as much existing farmland as possible because the vineyards and agricultural resources
of Temecula are an important part of the City's rural culture. In addition, the Land Use Element provides for four Rural
. Preservation Areas, two of which are dedicated to maintaining the rural character of agricultural and vineyard areas.
However, some limited residential and agriculture-related development may occur on lands currently used for agricultural
purposes. These issues will be addressed in the EIR.
.2.b. There are no Williamson Act contracts in the Planning Area. No impact will result.

3.a. The Air Quality Element of the General Plan addresses compliance with the current Air Quality Management Plan for
the South Coast Air Basin. The Air Quality Element is designed to ensure City land use decisions work to implement and
comply with federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to air quality. No conflict with the regional air quality plan will
result, and no adverse impact will occur.
I
I
3.b. through 3.d. The increase in population and growth facilitated by the General Plan will generate additional vehicular
trips that will produce exhaust emissions. These emissions may affect sensitive receptors, result in carbon monoxide hot
spots, and contribute to regional pollutant emissions. Impact may be significant given that the South Coast Air Basin is a
non-attainment area for ozone and PM10. These issues will be addressed in the EIR.
I
3.e. Development anticipated to occur pursuant to the Generai Plan will be predominantly residential and commercial
uses consisting of retail stores, offices and business parks. Each new development will be required to comply with the
South Coast Air Quality Management District's guidelines regarding odor control. Compliance with these existing
regulations will ensure that impact will be less than significant..

14.a. through 4.d. Temecula is located within an area largely developed for r.esidential, commercial, and agricultural uses,
which limits the extent and connectivity of wildlife habitat. Identified native vegetation communities, and to some extent
the non-native categories, are expected to support a suite of locally common, as well as sensitive species. Thirteen
vegetation communities have been identified in the Planning Area. Temecula is also located in the Western Riverside
1 County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) area. The overall goal of the MSHCP is to maintain and
restore biological diversity and natural ecosystem processes that support diversity in natural areas within Western
Riverside County known to support threatened, endangered, or key sensitive populations of plant and wildlife species.
I The MSHCP identifies five locations within the Planning Area that may contain regional wildlife corridor linkages. Since
development of the Planning Area pursuant to the General Plan may affect some of these locations, impact may be
potentially significant and this issue will be examined in the EIR.
14.e and 4.1. All new development will comply with City policies and ordinances protecting biological resources, including
tree preservation policies. The updated General Plan provides policies and implementation programs that fully support
adopted habitat conservation plans. No impact will result.

16.a.i. and 6.a.li. Temecula is located in a seismically active area of Southern California. The City is traversed by several
active traces of the Elsinore fault and has historically experienced earthquakes of moderate magnitude. The Elsinore fault
zone has been designated an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone by the California Geological Survey. This designation,
I under State law, limits the types of construction and other activities that can occur within the fault zone. Other regional
faults located around Temecula include the San Andreas, San Jacinto, San Gabriel, Newport-Inglewood, and Sierra
Madre-Santa Susana-Cucamonga faults.
I Since Temecula is located in a seismically active area, projects developed pursuant to the General Plan will expose
additional people and structures to groundshaking hazards associated with earthquakes. These issues will be addressed
in the EIR.
16.a."i. and 6.a.iv. Liquefaction can occur in locations where high groundwater levels interact with loose, unconsolidated
soils, causing them to lose cohesion when subject to seismic groundshaking. In accordance with the Seismic Hazards
Mapping Act, the California Geological Survey has evaluated liquefaction and landslide susceptibility for the Planning
I Area. Portions of the Planning Area are mapped as liquefaction zones, including areas along Santa Gertrudis Creek and
Temecula Creek. Landslides are most likely to occur on hillside locations where rock strata parallels surface slopes, high
clay content absorbs excess water, displacement has fractured a fault zone, or the base of a slope has been removed by
I erosion or people. Areas along floodplains and large drainages have generally been designated as areas where historic
occurrences of liquefaction, or local geological, geotechnical, and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for
permanent ground displacements.
I Strong groundshaking may cause the densificatlon of soils, resulting in local and regional settlement of the ground
surface. During strong groundshaklng, soil grains may become more tightly packed due to the collapse of voids or pore
spaces, resulting in a reduction of the thickness of the soil column. This type of ground failure typically occurs in loose
I granular, cohesionless soils, and can occur in wet or dry conditions. Portions of the Temecula Planning Area that may be
susceptible to seismically induced settlement are generally the fioodplains and larger drainages underlain by late
Quarternary alluvial sediments, such as Santa Gertrudis and Temecula creeks.
I Strong ground motions can worsen existing unstable slope conditions, particularly if coupled with saturated ground
conditions. The most widespread type of landslide generally consists of shallow failures involving surfclal soils.

landslide conditions exist in the hillside areas located in the southwestern portion of the City, although no recent
landslides have occurred in the area.
I
These issues will be addressed in the EIR.
6.b. Future development may occur on undeveloped land. During the construction phase of individual projects, grading
and earthwork will be necessary to prepare sites for development and exposed rock and soil may increase the chance of
soil erosion, mudslides, and landslides if these surfaces are left unprotected during periods of high winds and rain. This
issue will be addressed in the EIR.
I
6.c. and 6.d. Portions of Temecula are located on relatively loose, unconsolidated soils that are susceptible to
liquefaction, subsidence, and landslides. The potential for liquefaction and subsidence is particularly high along Santa
Gertrudis and Temecula creeks. landslides are likely to occur in the hillside areas located in the southwestern portion of
Temecula. These issues will be addressed in the EIR.
I
I
6.e. All development in the City is connected to a sewer system for the disposal of wastewater. Development in the
Planning Area pursuant to the General Plan will also be connected to a sewer system, with the exception of some
Vineyards/Agriculture, Rural and Very low Density Residentiai designated areas. Septic systems may be used in those
areas and this issue will be addressed in the EIR.

17.a. through 7.c. Businesses and operations involving the use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials will only
proceed in strict compliance with extensive federal, State, and local hazardous materials regulations. The General Plan
maintains the goal of protecting "the public and environmental resources from hazards related to hazard materials and
I waste, and nuclear power production" (Goal 2, Public Safety Element). Four policies are included to carry out this goal:
Policy 2.1 Minimize the risks associated with hazardous materials through careful land use planning and coordination
I with responsible federal, State, and County agencies.
Policy 2.2 Participate in local and regional programs that facilitate the proper disposal of household hazardous waste.

7.e. and 7.f. The French Valley Airport is located within Temecula's sphere of influence, east of Winchester Road. The I
Airport is owned and operated by the County of Riverside. The French Valley Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP) establishes an area of influence surrounding the airport. All land use development entitlements within the area of
infiuence must be approved by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission in order to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare, ensure continued orderly use of the Airport, and prevent the creation of new noise and safety I
problems. The General Plan proposes new development within the area of influence. This issue will be addressed in the
EIR.
7.g. Temecula has adopted a Multi-Hazard Functional Plan to ensure the effective management of City personnel and I
resources in responding to emergency situations stemming from natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear
defense emergencies. The plan includes a responsibility matrix that delineates specific responsibilities to City I
departments or personnel in the event of an emergency. The plan also includes a comprehensive hazard analysis that
addresses the following potential hazards: earthquake, hazardous materials incident, fiooding, dam failure, major
fire/wildfire, nuclear incident, and transportation incident. The Public Safety Element of the General Plan includes the goal
of "an effective response of emergency services following a disaster" (Goal 4, Public Safety Element), and five policies to I
carry out this goal as follows:
Policy 4.1 Provide for and maintain a coordinated emergency services response to reduce community risks and property
damage in the event of a disaster.
I
Policy 4.2 Support the development and implementation of local preparedness plans and multi-jurisdictional cooperation
for emergency situations consistent with the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS).
I
Policy 4.3 Coordinate emergency response planning with Riverside County and the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA).
I
Policy 4.4 Encourage community-wide emergency preparedness among City residents and the business community.
Policy 4.5 Regulate location of critical facilities to ensure they continue to function after a disaster.
I
Implementation of these policies, along with the continued implementation of the City's Multi-Hazard Functional Plan, will
ensure a less than significant impact with regard to emergency preparedness.
7.h. The Temecula Planning Area is subject to potential natural wild land fires. The most critical times of year for wild
land fires are late summer and fall when Santa Ana winds bring hot, dry desert air into the region. Increased human
presence in wild land areas and development on the fringes of major forests and brush areas increases the potential for
human-induced wild land fires. This issue will be addressed in the EIR.

S. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project:
Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge
re uirements?
Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would
be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing
nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support
existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been
ranted ?
Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or
area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream
or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion
or siltation on- or off-site?
Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or
area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream
or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface
runoff in a manner which wouid result in flood in on- or off-site?
Create or contribute runoff water which wouid exceed the
capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems
or rovide substantial additional sources of olluted runoff?
Otherwise substantiall de rade water ualit?
Place housing within a 1 DO-year flood hazard area as mapped
on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate
Ma or other flood hazard delineation ma ?
Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which
would im ede or redirect flood flows?
Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury
or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the
failure of a levee or dam?
Inundation b seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?

S.a. All new development will be required to comply with existing water quality standards and waste discharge regulations
I set forth by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego region. Impact will be less than significant.
S.b. The Rancho California Water District supplies most of the domestic and commercial water to Temecula. RCWD
I water is drawn from the Murrieta-Temecula groundwater basin and supplemented with imported water from the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD). Temecula is also served by the Eastern Municipal Water District, which derives its
water primarily from MWD but also draws groundwater from wells in the Hemet and San Jacinto areas. Since new
development in the Planning Area will increase consumption of ground water, this potentially significant impact will be
I examined in the EIR.
S.c. through S.e. Future development throughout the Temecula Planning Area, especially on currently undeveloped land,
I will increase the amount of impervious surfaces, thereby increasing the amount and speed of stormwater runoff.
Increased runoff volumes and speeds may create nuisance flooding in areas without adequate drainage facilities. These
potentially significant impacts will be evaluated in the EIR.
Is.f. Each new development will be required to comply with stormwater regulations set forth by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board, San Diego region, including NPDES regulations. Compliance with existing regulations on a project-by-
project basis will reduce potential impact to a less than significant level.
Is.g. through S.i. Temecula contains several FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). These areas, corresponding
to the 100-year floodplain, have the potential to become flooded when major rainstorms cause streams to overflow.

Murrieta Creek is the most flood-prone creek in Temecula, and Temecula Creek and Santa Gertrudis Creek are also
subject to flooding. Therefore, specific building standards apply to flood prone areas, including anchoring, building with
flood resistant materials, providing adequate drainage paths, and elevating the structure to or above the base flood
elevation. The City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes flood insurance available
to affected property owners within the 1 DO-year floodplain. The City also reviews development plans for projects within
the floodplain to ensure compliance with City and FEMA floodplain development requirements. No development of any
kind will be allowed in the floodway portion of the 1 DO-year floodplain. These measures will reduce the risk from flooding
to a less than significant level.
I
I
Portions of Temecula are subject to flood inundation from dam failure. Lake Skinner is a 43,800 acre-feet earthen dam
located northeast of Temecula. Failure of the Lake Skinner Dam could result in flooding along Tucatota Creek and
Benton Road. Vail Lake is located to the east of Temecula. Dam failure of this 51,000 acre-feet facility could cause
flooding in the Pauba and Temecula valleys. 1-15 and an adjacent 3-mile area could also flood. The City maintains a
Dam Inundation Evacuation Plan as part of the Multi-Hazard Functional Plan and coordinates with the State Office of
Emergency Services to ensure that dam safety plans reflect the level of development within the community. In addition,
the General Plan Public Safety Element includes a policy to "provide and maintain adequate flood control facilities and
limit development within the 1 DO-year floodplain and potential dam inundation areas" (Policy 1.6, Public Safety Element).
Therefore, impact will be less than significant.
I
I
I
a.j. The Planning Area is not subject to tsunamis due to its inland location. Seiches have not historically occurred within
the Planning Area. The potential for mud and debris flows is addressed in Section 6.c. - Geology and Soils. Impact will
be less than significant.

9. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:
Ph sicall divide an established communit ?
Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation
of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not
limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program,
or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
miti atin an environmental effect?
Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan?
x
x
x
9.a. The majority of undeveloped land in the Planning Area is located north of Temecula in the sphere of influence. No
physical division would result from development pursuant to the General Plan. No impact will result.
19.b. The unincorporated portions of the Temecula Planning Area are within the jurisdiction of the County of Riverside.
Within these unincorporated areas, previously-approved specific plans and the County's Southwest Area Plan (SWAP)
I determine future land uses. The updated Temecula General Plan defers to previously-approved specific plans to
determine future land uses. However, the City's General Plan land use designations differ from those proposed by the
SWAP at a few locations within the sphere of influence and Planning Area that are not the subject of specific plans. This
issue will be addressed in the EIR.
19.C. Temec~la is located within the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP)
planning area. The overall goal of the MSHCP is to maintain and restore biological diversity and natural ecosystem
I processes that support diversity in natural areas within Western Riverside County known to support threatened,
endangered, or key sensitive populations of plants and wildlife species. The MSHCP establishes a Conservation Area
, and implementation program to preserve biological diversity and maintain the region's quality of life. In response to the
. MSHCP, the Open Space/Conservation Element of the General Plan includes the goal of "conservation of important
'1 biological habitats and protection of plant and animal species of concern, wildlife movement corridors, and general
biodiversity' (Goal 3, Open Space/Conservation Element). This goal is supported by policy to "coordinate with the County
of Riverside and other relevant agencies in the implementation of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
1 Conservation Plan" (Policy 3.3, Open Space/Conservation Element). The General Plan supports applicable habitat
conservation plans and no impact will result.

For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where
such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public
airport or public use airport, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the
project expose people residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
1 11.a. through 11.f. The primary source of noise in the City is vehicular traffic. Traffic is projected to increase on 1-15,
Winchester Road, SR-79 South, Pechanga Parkway, and other City roads. The French Valley Airport is located north of
the city within Temecula's sphere of influence. The sphere of influence consists mostly of undeveloped land that is
I expected to be developed during the 20-year planning period of the General Plan. Aircraft will continue to use the French
Valley Airport while the area surrounding the airport will become increasingly developed. Thus, noise levels will increase
both in the short- and long-term, and may exceed standards established in the General Plan Noise Element. These
I issues will be addressed in the EIR.

The Lead Agency should identify any potential adverse air quality impacts that could occur from
all phases of the project and all air pollutant sources related to the project. Air quality impacts
from both construction and operations should be considered. Construction-related air quality
impacts typically include, but are not limited to, emissions from the use of heavy-duty equipment
from grading, earth-loading/unloading, paving, architectural coatings, off-road mobile sources
(e.g., heavy-duty construction equipment) and on-road mobile sources (e.g., construction worker
vehicle trips, material transport trips). Operation-related air quality impacts may include, but are
not limited to, emissions from stationary sources (e.g., boilers), area sources (e.g., solvents and
coatings), and vehicular trips (e.g., on- and off-road tailpipe emissions and entrained dust). Air
quality impacts from indirect sources, that is, sources that generate or attract vehicular trips
should be included in the evaluation. An analysis of all toxic air contaminant impacts due to the
decommissioning or use of equipment potentially generating such air pollutants should also be
included.

Dear Mr. Hogan:
Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for
Temecula General Plan Update
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) appreciates the opportunity to
comment on the above-mentioned document. The AQMD's comments are recommendations
regarding the analysis of potential air quality impacts from the proposed project that should be
included in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Air Qualitv Analvsis
The AQMD adopted its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Air Quality Handbook in
1993 to assist other public agencies with the preparation of air quality analyses. The AQMD
recommends that the Lead Agency use this Handbook as guidance when preparing its air quality
analysis. Copies of the Handbook are available from the AQMD's Subscription Services
Department by calling (909) 396-3720.

Mitil!3tion Measures
In the event that the project generates significant adverse air quality impacts, CEQA requires that
all feasible mitigation measures be utilized during project construction and operation to minimize
or eliminate significant adverse air quality impacts. To assist the Lead Agency with identifYing
possible mitigation measures for the project, please refer to Chapter 11 of the AQMD CEQA Air
Quality Handbook for sample air quality mitigation measures. Additionally, AQMD's Rule 403
- Fugitive Dust, and the Implementation Handbook contain numerous measures for controlling
construction-related emissions that should be considered for use as CEQA mitigation if not
otherwise required. Pursuant to state CEQA Guidelines 915126.4 (a)(l)(D), any impacts
resulting from mitigation measures must also be discussed.
Data Sources
AQMD rules and relevant air quality reports and data are available by calling the AQMD's
Public Information Center at (909) 396-2039. Much of the information available through the
Public Information Center is also available via the AQMD's World Wide Web Homepage
(htto:/ /www.aqmd.gov).
The AQMD is willing to work with the Lead Agency to ensure that project-related emissions are
accurately identified, categorized, and evaluated. Please call Charles Blankson, Ph.D., Air
Quality Specialist, CEQA Section, at (909) 396-3304 if you have any questions regarding this
letter.
Sincerely,

Re: Notice of Preparation of Draft Environmental Impact Report - Temecula General Plan
Update
Dear Mr, Hogan:
The Department of Fish and Game (Department) appreciates this opportunity to comment on the
Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the above-referenced
project with regards to impacts to biological resources, The proposed project is a General Plan Update
that addresses the seven State mandated general plan elements (land use, housing, circulation, safety,
open space, conservation, and noise), as well as other issues that are important to the community,
including growth management, economic development, air quality, and community design, The updated
General Plan will guide physical development within the Temecula Planning Area ovedhe next 20 years.
The General plan establishes a vision lor the City, emphasizing a family-focused lifestyle while promoting
a strong local business community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries, so that
the community remains an attractive and enjoyable place to live, work, and play, The project site is
located in southwestern Riverside County The City is bordered by the De Luz area to the west, the City of
Murrieta and Murrieta Hot Springs to the north, unincorporated County 01 Riverside land to the east, and
the Pechanga Indian Reservation, Bureau of Land Management lands, and unincorporated portions of
San Diego County to the south
. The Department is responding as a Trustee Agency lor fish and wildlife resources [Fish and Game
Code sections 711 ,7 and 1802 and the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA) section
15386] and as a Responsible Agency regarding any discretionary actions (CEQA Guidelines section
15381),
A review of records lrom the California Natural Diversity Database and other area resources indicate
that the following sensitive species and habitat types occur in the project vicinity and may be affected by
the proposed project: California gnatcatcher (Polioptila ea/itomica), least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusil/us),
western burrowing owl (Athene eun/cu/aria hypugaea), bald eagle (Ha/iaeetus /eucocepha/us), golden

Southern Coast Live Oak Riparian Forest, Southern Sycamore Alder Riparian Woodland, Southern Interior
Basalt Flow Vernal Pool. The Department recommends that the potential direct and indirect impacts to the
above-mentioned sensitive species and habitats be analyzed in the DEIR.
To enable Department staff to adequately review and comment on the proposed project, we
suggest that updated biological studies be conducted prior to any environmental or discretionary
approvals, The following information should be included In any focused biological report or supplemental
environmental report:
1. A complete assessment of the flora and fauna within and adjacent to the project area, with particular
emphasis upon identifying endangered, threatened, and sensitive species and sensitive habitats.
a. Conduct an updated (within the last 2 years) general biological study of the site to determine if
any sensitive species or habitat (including, but not limited to, those mentioned above) may be
potentially impacted by the proposed project. A complete assessment of sensitive fish, Wildlife,
reptile, and amphibian species should be included in the DEIR. Seasonal variations in use of the
project area should also be addressed;
b. If appropriate habitat for any listed species occurs on the site, have a qualified biologist conduct
focused surveys according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) andlor Department
protocol;
c. Have a qualified botanist conduct a focused rare plant survey durinQ the appropriate time of vear
following USFWS andlor Department protocols;
d. The Department's California Natural Diversity Data Base in Sacramento should be contacted at
(916) 327-5960 to obtain current information on any previouslY reported sensitive species and
habitat, including Significant Natural Areas identified under Chapter 12 of the Fish and Game
Code.
e, If any listed species will potentially be impacted by the proposed project, consultation with the
Department and/or the USFWS will be required to establish appropriate mitigation measures to
avoid, minimize, or compensate for impacts. An incidental take permit may be required pursuant
to Fish and Game Code Section 2080 et seq and/or Section 7 or 10 of the Federal Endangered
Species Act (ESA). Early consultation with the Department is recommended, since modification
of the proposed project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to listed species. Please
refer to Item 4 below for more detailed information regarding compliance with the California
Endangered Species Act (CESA).
I
NOP, DEIR for Temecula General Plan Update
June 25, 2003

I
I
f. The Department requests that impacts to State- and Federally-listed species and potential
avoidance, alternative and mitigation measures be addressed in the CEQA document and not
solely in subsequent negotiations between the applicant and the agencies.
I
I
2. A thorough discussion of direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts expected to adversely affect
biological resources, with specific measures to offset such impacts.
a. CEQA Guidelines, 15125(a), direct that knowledge of the regional setting is critical to an
assessment of environmental impacts and that special emphasis should be placed on resources
that are rare or unique to the region.
I
b. Project impacts should be analyzed relative to their effects on off-site habitats. Specifically, this
should include nearby river, streams, or lakes located downstream of the project, public lands,
open space, adjacent natural habitats, and riparian ecosystems. Impacts to and maintenance of
wildlife corridor/movement areas, including access to undisturbed habitat in adjacent areas,
should be fully evaluated and provided.
I
c. The zoning of areas for development projects or other uses that are nearby or adjacent to natural
areas may inadvertently contribute to wildlife-human interactions. A discussion of possible
conflicts and mitigation measures to reduce these conflicts should be included in the
environmental document.
I
I
d. A cumulative effects analysis should be developed as described under CEOA Guidelines, 15130.
General and specific plans, as well as past, present, and anticipated future projects, should be
analyzed relative to their impacts on similar plant communities and wildlife habitats.
I
e. The DEIR should include an analysis of the effect that the project may have on completion and
implementation of regional and/or subregional conservation programs. Under 2800-2840 of the
Fish and Game Code, the Department, through the Natural Communities Conservation Planning
(NCCP) program is coordinating with local jurisdictions, landowners, and the Federal Government
to preserve local and regional biological diversity. Coastal sage scrub is the first natural
community to be planned for under the NCCP program. The Department recommends that the
lead agency ensure that the development of this and other proposed projects do not preclude
long-term preserve planning options and that projects conform with other requirements of the
NCCP program. Jurisdictions participating in the NCCP should assess specific projects for
consistency with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines.
I
I
3. A range of alternatives should be analyzed to ensure that alternatives to the proposed project are
fully considered and evaluated. A range of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize impacts to
sensitive biological resources should be induded. Specific alternative locations should also be
evaluated in areas with lower resource sensitivity where appropriate.
I
I
I
a. Mitigation measures for project impacts to sensitive plants, animals, and habitats should
emphasize evaluation and selection of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize project
impacts. Off-site compensation for unavoidable impacts through acquisition and protection of
high-qualily habitat elsewhere should be addressed.
b. The Department considers Rare Natural Communities as threatened habitats having both
regionai and local significance. Thus, these communities should be fully avoided and otherwise
protected from project-reiated impacts.
I
I
I
I
I
I
NOP, DEIR for Temecula General Plan Update

Page4of5
c. The Department generally does not support the use of relocation, salvage, and/or transplantation
as mitigation for impacts to rare, threatened, or endangered species. Department studies have
shown that these efforts are experimental in nature and largely unsuccessful.
I
I
4. A CESA Incidental Take Permit is required when a project has the potential to result in "take" of
species of plants or animals listed under CESA, either during construction or over the life of the
project. CESA Permits are issued to conserve, protect, enhance, and restore State-listed threatened
or endangered species and their habitats. Early consultation is encouraged, as significant
modification to' the proposed project and mitigation measures may be required in order to obtain a
CESA Permrt. Revisions to the Fish and Game Code, effective January 1998, require that the
Department issue a separate CEQA document for the issuance of a CESA permit unless the project
CEQA document addresses all project impacts to listed species and specifies a mitigation monitoring
and reporting program that will meet the requirements of a CESA pennrt. For these reasons, the
Department recommends including the following information:
I
I
I
I
a. Biological mitigation monitoring and reporting proposals should be of sufficient detail and
resolution to satisfy the requirements for a CESA Permit.
I
b. A Mitigation Agreement and Mitigation Plan, approved by the Department, are required for plants
listed as rare under the Native Plant Protection Act.
I
5. The Department opposes the elimination of watercourses and/or their channelization or conversion to
subsurface drains All wetlands and watercourses, whether intermittent or perennial, should be
retained and provided with substantial setbacks which preserve the riparian and aquatic values and
maintain their value to on-site and off.site wildlife populations.
I
a. Under Section 1600 et seq of the Fish and Game Code, the Department requires the project
applicant to notify the Department of any activity that will divert, obstruct or change the natural
flow orthe bed, channel, or bank (which includes associated riparian resources) of a river, stream
or lake, or use material from a streambed prior to the applicant's commencement of the activity.
Streams include, but are not limited to, intermittent and ephemeral streams, rivers, creeks, dry
washes, sloughs, blue"line streams, and watercourses with subsurface flow. The Department's
issuance of a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for a project that is subject to CEQA will
require CEQA compliance actions by the Department as a responsible agency. The Department,
as a responsible agency under CEQA, may consider the local jurisdiction's (lead agency)
Negative Declaration or EIR for the project. However, if the CEQA document does not fully
identify potential impacts to lakes, streams, and associated resources (including, but not limited
to, riparian and alluvial fan sage scrub habitat) and provide adequate avoidance, mitigation,
monitoring and reporting commitments, additional CEQA documentation will be required prior to
execution (signing) ofthe Streambed Alteration Agreement. In order to avoid delays or repe~tion
of the CEOA process, potential impacts to a lake or stream, as well as avoidance and mitigation
measures need to be discussed within this CEQA document. The Department recommends the
following measures to avoid subsequent CEQA documentation and project delays:
(1) Incorporate all information regarding impacts to lakes, streams and associated habitat
within theDEIR. Information that needs to be included within this document includes: (a)
a delineation of lakes, streams, and associated habitat that will be directly or indirectly
impacted by the proposed project; (b) details on the biological resources (flora and fauna)
associated with the lakes and/or streams; (c) identification of the presence or absence of
sensrtive plants, animals, or natural communities; (d) a discussion of environmental
alternatives; (e) a discussion of avoidance measures to reduce project impacts; and (f) a
discussion of potential mitigation measures required to reduce the project impacts to a

level of insignificance. The applicant and lead agency should keep in mind that the State
also has a policy of no net loss of wetlands.
I
(2) Include in the DEIR a discussion of potential adverse impacts from any increased runoff,
sedimentation, soil erosion, and/or urban pollutants on streams and watercourses on or
near the project site, with mitigation measures proposed to alleviate such impacts must be
included.
I
(3) The Department recommends that the project applicant and/or lead agency consult with
the Department to discuss potential project impacts and avoidance and mitigation
measures. Early consultation with the Department is recommended, since modification of
the proposed project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to fish and wildlife
resources. To obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement Notification package, please call
(562) 590-5880.

Dear Mr. Hogan:

Initial Study and Notice of Prcparation of an
Enviromnental Imvact Report Jor the Temecula General Plan Uodate
I
TIle Mctropolitan Watcr District of Southern California (Mctropolitan) has reviewed a copy of
the Initial Study and Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EnvirolIDlentaJ Impact Report for the
Temccula Gcneral Plan Update. The City of Temeeula (City) is the lead agency for this project.
This project consists of the adoption and inlplcmentation of the City's Gcncral Plan Update. Thc
updaled General Plan will address the seven Slate-mandaled general plan elements (land use,
hQusing, circuJation~ safety, open space, conservatio~, and noise), as weIl as other issues that are
important to the community, including gwwth management, economic development, air quality,
and community design. The Housing Element was recently updated in 2002, and thus is not
being comprehensively updated as part of this prol,'1:am. The General Plan Update, which will
guide physical development within the Temecula Plarming Area over the next 20 years,
establishes a vision for the City, emphasizing a family-focused lifestyle, while promoting a
strong local business community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries.
TIus Icttcr contains Metropolitan's response to the Initial Study and NOP a5 both a potentially
affected agency and responsible agency.
I
I
I
I
I
Metropolitan owns and operales five water conveyance facilities within the boundaries of the
area covered by the General Plan Update. Metropolitan's San Diego Pipeline nos. 1,2, 3, 4, and
5 extend in a generally northeast-southwest direction through the City. In addition, Metropolitan
is planning to construct a seven-mile strctch of the approved San Diego Pipeline No.6 Project,
from Lake Skinner to De Portola Road, along the east boundary of the planning area.
Metropolitan's facilities are within both pemlanent easement and fee-owned property within the
boundaries of the General Plan Update area. In addition, Metropolitan owns property to the west
of Lakc Skinner, a pOltion of which iR located outRide ofthe city limits, but within the Planning

Area for this document. This property is part of the operations area for Lake Skinner and serves
to accommodate releases from Lake Skilmer,
I
Metropolitan is concerned with potential impacts to our facilities, easements, and property that
may occur a result of thc proposed General Plan Update. Metropolitan requests that the City
. consider Metropolitan's facilities and property in its planning and identify and avoid potential
impacts that may occur as a result oFPlan implementation. Metropolitan must be allowed to
maintain. its right-of-way and access to our facilities at all times in order to repair and maintain
the current condition of those facilities. lfimpacts are not able to be avoided, then Metropolil'l1l
requests that the City consider alternatives in the Draft ElR that rcduce or avoid the impacts or
that they develop, in consultation with Metropolitan, measures to mitigate the impacts. Thc City
states in its proposed Growth ManagementlPublie Facilities Element, "The purpose of the
Growth ManagementlPublic Facilities Element is to promotc orderly growth and development
dependent on the provision of adequate public tacilitics and scrvices. This element sets forth
goals, policics, implementation progr<llIl and perl:onnance standards that ensurc futurc
development is coordinated with the availability of pub lie facilities and services operating at
desired levels."
I
I
I
I
I
As such, Metropolitan rcquests that its facilities and property be given a land use designation
similar to the City's public facilities (c.g., roadways). This land use designation should set forth
that development in and around Metropolitan's facilities shall be consistcnt with the express use
of OlIT pipelines as public facilities. Metropolitan requesl' this designation based on the land
uses shown on Figure 2 of the Proposed General Plan Update, which indicates "Open Space"
across Metropolitan's San Diego Pipeline Nos. 1 through 5 innumerous locations. In addition,
Figure 2 also identifies Metropolitan's property west of Lake Skinner as Open Space. These
lands are not intended for open space use nor should they be implied as such. Metropolitan
requires unobstructed access to our pipelines and property for routine and emergency
maintenance and operations, and hence any designation other then "Public Facilities" is
inaccurate.
I
In order to aVOId potential conflicts with Metropolitan's rights-of-way, we require that any desi!,,'11
plans for any activity in the area of Metropolitan's pipelines or facilities be submitted for our
review and written approval.
I
I
I
I
The City and individual project applicants may obtain detailed prints of drawings of
Metropolitan's pipelines and rights-of-way by calling Metropolitan's Substructures Information
Line at (213) 217.6564. To assist the City and project applicants inpreparlng plans that are
compatible with Metropolitan's facilities and easements, we have enclosed a copy of the
"Guidelines for Developments in the Arca of Facilities, Fee Properties, and/or Easements of The
Metropolitan Watcr District of Southern California." Please note that all submitted designs or
plans must clearly idel,tify Metropolitan's facilities and rights-of-way.

Metropolitan also requests that the City analyze the consistency of the proposed project with the
growth management plan adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG). Metropolitan uses SCAG's population, housing, and employment projections to
dctcrmine future water demand.
In addi tion, Metropolitan encourages projects within its service area to include water
conservation measures. Water conservation, reclaimed water use, and groundwater recharge
programs are integral components to regional water supply planning. Metropolitan supports
mitigation measures such as using water efficient fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, and
reclaimed water to offset any increase in water use associated with the proposed project.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to your planning process and we look forward to
receiving future environmcntal documentation, including a copy of the Draft EIR, for this
project. If we can be offurther assistance, please contact Mr. John Vrsalovich at (213) 217-6066.

4. Easements On Metropolitan's Property
a. We encourage the USe of Metropolitan's fee rights-
of-way by governmental agencies for public street and
utility purposes, pro~ided that such use does not interfere
with Metropolitan's Use of the property, the entire width of
the property is accepted into the agency's public street
system and fair market value is paid for such use of the
right-of-way.
b. Please contact the Director of Metropolitan's
Right of Way and Land Division, telephone (213) 250-6302,
concerning easements for landscaping, street, storm drain,
sewer, water or other public facilities proposed within
Metropolitan's fee properties. A map and legal description
of the requested easements must be submitted. Also, written
evidence must be submitted that shows the city or county
will accept the easement" for the specific purposes into its
public system. The grant of the easell1ent ...ill be subject to
Metropolitan's rights to use its land for water pipelines
and related purposes to the 5ame ~xtent as if 5uch grant had
not been made. There will be a charge for the easement.
P1ease note that, if entry is required on the property prior
to issuance of the easeme~t, an entry permit must be
obt.ained. There will also be a charge for the entry permit.
5 . Landscaping
Metropolitan's landscape guidelines for its fee
properties and/or easements are as f~llows:
a. A green belt may be allowed within Metropolitan's
fee property or easement.
I
b. All landscape plans shall show the location and
size of Metropolitan's fee property and/or easement and the
location and size of Metropolitan's pipeline or other
facilities therein.
I
- 5 -
I
I
I
I
I
I
a. Permanent structures, including catch basins,
manholes, power poles, telephone riser boxes, etc., shall
not be located within its fee properties and/or easements.
b. We request that permanent utility structures
within public streets, in which Metropolitan's facilities
are constructed under the Metropolitan Water District
Act, be placed as far from our pipeline as possible, but
not closer than 5 feet from the outside of our pipeline.
c. The installation of utilities over or under
Metropolitan's pipeU.ne{s) must be in accordance with the
requirements shown on the enclosed prints of Drawing,;
Nos. C-11632 and C-9547. Whenever possible we request a
minimum of one foot clearance between Metropolitan's pipe
and your facility. Temporary support of Metropolitan's
pipe may also be required at undercrossings of its pipe
in an open trench. The temporary support plans must be
reviewed and approved by Metropolitan.
do Lateral utility crossings of Metropolitan's
pipelines must be as perpendicular to its pipeline
alinement as practical. Prior to any excavation our
pipeline shall be located manually and any excavation
within two feet of our pipeline must be done by hand.
This shall be noted on the appropriate drawings.
f. When piping is jacked or installed in jacked
casing or tunnel under MetropOlitan's pipe, there must be
at least two feet of vertical clearance between the
bottom of Metropolitan 's pipe and the top of the jacked
pipe, jacked casing or tunnel. We also require that
detail drawings of.the shoring for the jacking or
tunneling pits be submitted for our review and approval.
Provisions must be made to grout any voids around the
exterior of the jacked pipe, jacked casing or. tunnel. If
the piping is installed in a jacked casing or tunnel the
annular space between the piping and the jacked casing or
tunnel must be filled with grout.
I

o. Control cables connected with the operation of
Metropolitan's system are buried within streets, its fee
properties and/or easements. The locations and elevations
of these cables shall be shown on the drawings. The
drawings shall note that prior to any excavation in the
area, the control cables shall be located and measures
shall be taken by the contractor to protect the cables in
place. .
p. Metropolitan is a member of Underground Service
Alert (USA). The contractor (excavator) shall contact
USA at 1-800-422-4133 (Southern California) at least 48
hours prior to starting any excavation work. The contractor
will be liable for any damage to Metropolitan's facilities
as a result of the construction.

Paramount Riqht
Facilities constructed within Metropolitan's fee
properties and/or easements shall be subject to the
. paramount right of Metropolitan to use its fee properties
and/or easements for the purpose for which they were
acquire<;1-'-_-.!!mat any time Metropolitan__Qr__it_s assigns _
should, in the exercise of their rights, find it necessary
to remove any of the facilities from the fee properties
and/or easements, such removal and replacement shall be at
the expense of the owner of the facility.
9.
Modification of Metropolitan's Facilities
When a ~ole or other of MetropOlitan's facilities
must be modified to accommodate your construction or recons-
truction, Metropolitan will modify the facilities with its
forces. This should be noted on the construction plans. The
estimated cost to perform this modification will be given to
you and we will require a deposit for this amount before the
work is performed. Once the deposit is received, we will
schedule the work. OUr forces will coordinate the work with
your contractor. Our final hilling will be based on actual
cost incur~ed, and will include materials, construction,
engineering plan review, inspection, and administrative
overhead charges calculated in accordance with Metropolitan's
standard accounting practices. If the cost is less than the
deposit, a refund will be. made~ however, if the cost exceeds
the deposit, an invoice will be forwarded for payment of the
additional amount.

imposes loads no greater than AASHTO H-lO. If the cover is
between two and three feet, equipment must be restricted to
that of a Caterpillar D-4 tract-type tractor. If the cover
is less than two feet, only hand equipment may be used.
Also, if the contractor plans to use any equipment over
Metro~litan's pipeline which will impose loads greater than
AASHTO H-20, it will be necessary to submit the specifications
of such equipment for our review and approval at least one
week prior to its use. More restrictive requirements may
apply to the loading guideline over the San Diego Pipelines
land 2, portions of the Orange County Feeder, and the
Colorado River Aqueduct. Please contact us for loading
restrictions on all of Metropolitan's pipelines and
conduits~
b. The e^isting cover over the pipeline shall be
maintained unless Metropolitan determines that proposed
changes do not pose a ha~ard to the integrity of the
pipeline or an impediment to its maintenance.
Blasting
a. At least 20 days prior to the start of any
drilling for rock excavation blasting, or any blasting, in
the vicinity of Metropolitan'S facilities, a two-part
preliminary conceptual plan shall be submitted to
Metropolitan as follows.:
b.
complete
storage,
Part 1 of the conceptual plan shall include a
summary of_proposed transportation, handling,
and use of explosions.
c. Part 2 shall include the proposed general COncept
for blasting, including controlled blasting techniques and
controls of .noise, fly ro~k, airblast, and ground vibration.
CEQA Requirements
a. When Environmental Documents nave Not Been
Prepared
1) Regulations implementing the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) require that
_ Metropolitan haVe an opportunity to consult with the
agency or consultants preparing any environmental
documentation. We are required to review and consider
the environmental effects of the project as shoWn in
the-Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) prepared for your project before committing
Metropolitan to approve your request.
- 13 -
giving Metropolitan's comments, requirements and/or approval
that will require 8 man-hours or less of effort is typicallv
performed at no cost to the developer, unless a facility -
must be modified where Metropolitan has superior rights. If
an engineering review and letter response requires more than
8 man-hours of effort by Metropolitan to determine if the
proposed facility or development is compatible with its
facilities, or if modifications to Metropolitan's manholeCs)
or other facilities will ~ required, then all of
Metropolitan's costs associated with the project must be
paid by the developer, unless the developer has superior
rights.
b. A deposit of funds will be required from the
developer before Metropolitan can begin its detailed
engineering plan review that will exceed 8 hours. The
amount of the required deposit will be determined after a
cursory review of the plans for the proposed development.
c. Metropolitan's final billing will be based on
actual cost incurred, and will include engineering plan
review, inspection, materials, construction, and
administrative overhead charges calculated in accordance
with Metropolitan's standard accounting practices. If the
cost is less than the deposit, .a refund will be made;
however, if the cost exceeds the deposit, an invoice will be
forwarded for payment of the additional amount. Additional
deposits may be required if the cost of Metropolitan'S
review exceeds the amount of the initial deposit.
16. Caution
We advise you that Metropolitan's plan reviews and
responses are based upon information available to
Metropolitan which was prepared by or on behalf of
Metropolitan for general record purposes only. Such
information may not be sufficiently detailed or accurate for
your purposes. No warranty ~f any kind, eith~r express or
implied, is attached to the ~nformation there~n conveyed as
to its accuracy, and no inference should be drawn from
Metropolitan's failure to comment on any aspect of your
project. You are therefore cautioned to make such surveys
and other field investigations as you may deem prudent to
assure yourself that any plans for your project are correct.

SUBJECT: CITY OF TEMECULA GENERAL PLAN - NOTICE OF
PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT
Dear Mr. Hogan:
Rancho California Water District (RCWD) appreciates the opportunity to
provide comments on the Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) and Initial Study for the City of Temecula Gcncral Plan. RCWD's
comments arc as follows:
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Earlier CEOA Analvses
Section 18 of the Initial Study indicates that no earlier California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) analyses were used. Therefore, RCWD's comments are
based upon the assumption that a new environmental impact report (EIR) will be
prepared by the City of Temecula, in lieu of a supplemental ETR or tiered ETR.
Water Resources
Thc explanation for Section 16.d of the Initial Study indicates that a potentially
significant impact may occur to water supplies. Therefore, during the
preparation of the Draft ETR, RCWD requests that the Draft EID. should provide
a detailed site-specific analysis of water supply impacts based upon the proposed
modifications to the General Plan Land Use designations. Please be aware that
the water agencies serving the City of Temecula are required by the California
State Water Code (Section 10610.10657) to prepare an Urban Water
Management Plan. The proposed revisions to the General Plan Land Use
designations will directly affect the adequacy of the existing Urban Water
Management Plans. In order to detemline the impact of water supply reliability,
as required by the State Water Code for the development impacts of the updated
General Plan, the City of Temecula needs to analyze the impacts to water supply
within the Draft EID. using the proposed General Plan Land Use designations,
prior to adoption of the ElR and any General Plan amendment. Per the request
of your consultant, CottonfBridges/Associates, RCWD will provide an
assessment ofRCWD's water supply for your use in preparing the Draft EID..

Wastewater Disposal
The explanation for Section 6.e of the Initial Study is incorrect. Significant portions of existing
developments within the City of Temecula are not connected to a sewer system and these
developments use conventional septic tankfsubsurface disposal systems for the disposal of
wastewater. Therefore, during the preparation of the Draft Em, RCWD requests that the Draft
EIR should provide a detailed analysis regarding this potentially significant impact to watcr
supplies.
Furthermore, RCWD requests the City of Tcmccula include a mitigation measure for
convcntional septic tankfsubsurface disposal systems to be prohibited in any area designated
within Zone A of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EP A) wellhead
protection area. Zonc A is classified by the EP A as a potential area of direct microbiological and
chemical contamination dLLe to an estimated two-year timc of travel distance within the aquifcr
from the wellbcad to the potential source of contamination.
I
I
I
It is RCWD's opinion that waste discharges from conventional septic tanklsubsurface disposal
systems located within EPA's Wellhead Protection Area Zone A for any potable water
production well violates Section 13280-13285 of the State Water Code. It is also RCWD's
opinion that waste discharges from conventional septic tankfsubsurface disposal systems located
within Zonc A for any potable water production well violates the public interest since this type of
discharge will adversely affcct both the quality and beneficial use of the waters of the State of
California.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
The City of TemecLLla relies upon the County of Riverside's existing regulations for a 100-foot
horizontal setback of conventional septic tank/subsurface disposal systems from water supply
wells. This regulation is not consistent with the reconnnelldations in the EPA's Dcsign Manual
On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems. Upon rcvicw of the EPA Design Manual
for On-Sire Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems. it is clearly evident those standard
setbacks are not rccommended and that performance-based requirements based upon risk
management are reqtlired for on-site treatmcnt and disposal systems. The following excerpts are
from the EP A's Design Manual, On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems:
The movement of subsurface aqueous containment plumes is highly depcndent
on the soil type, soil layering, underlying gcology, topography, and rainfall.
Some onsite system setback/separation codes are based on plume movement
models or measured relationships that have not been supported by recent field
data. (page 3-24)
In soils with excessive permeability or shallow water tables, inadequatc
treatment in the unsaturated soil ~onc might allow pathogenic bacteria and
viruses to enter the ground water if no mitigating measures are taken. (page 3-
24)

Given the tendcncy of on-site wastewater treatment system effluent plnmes to
remain relatively intact over long distances (more than 300 feet), dilution
models commonly used in the past to calculate uitrate attenuation in the
vadose zone are probably unrealistic. State codes that specity 100-foot
separation distances between conventional subsurface wastcwater infiltration
system trcatment units and down-gradient wells or surface waters should not
be expected to always protcct these resources from dissolved, highly mobilc
contaminants such as nitrates. Moreover, publishcd data indicate that
viruses that reach groundwater can travel at least 220 fcet vcrtically and
1,338 fcct laterally in some porous soils and still remain effective. (page 3-25)
It is difficult to predict removal rates for wastewater-borne nitrate or other
nitrogen compounds in the soil matrix. In general, however, nitrate
concentrations in subsurface wastewater infIltratiou system effluent can and
often do exceed the 10 mgfL drinking water standard. ...The limited ahility
of conventional subsurface wastewater infiltration systems to achieve
cnhanced nitrate reduction and the difficulty in predicting soil nitrogen
removal rates means that systems sited in drinking water aquifers or near
sensitive aquatic areas should incorporate additional nitrogen removal
technologies prior to final soil discharge. (page 3-30)
RCWD requests the City of Temecula include a mitigation measure for conventional septic
tank/subsurface disposal systems to be prohibited in any area designated within Zone A of a EP A
wellhead protection area. Alternatives for development within Zone A of a wellhead protection
area would require either the extension of a sanitary sewer collection system or additional on-site
waslewater treatment (primarily enhanccd nitrogen rcmoval and disinfection) beyond that of a
conventional septic tank/subsurface disposal system.
Wastewater Service
The explanation for Section 16.a of the Initial Study is incorrect. A portion of the City of
Temecula (primarily the Westside Business Centre area) is within RCWD's waStewater service
area Any proposed changes within this area that would affect the. quantity of wastewater
produced should be addressed in the Draft EIR.
Flood Hazards
The explanation for Section 8.g to 8.i of the Initial Study is incorrect. A flood hazard analysis
should be performed within the Draft EIR that would include flood inundation resulting from
failure of Vail Dam, located in Temecula Creek upstr= of the City ofTemecula.

Water Conservation in Landseaoing Act
The water supply analyses prepared for the Draft EIR, as noted in Section l6.d of the Initial
Study, should address the existing legislation entitled the Water Conservation in Landscaping
Act. Please be aware that the water supply in thc Statc of Califomia and the City of Temecula is
limited and a water-efficient landscape ordinilllce is required by State law to be adopted by local
agencies to promote the conservation and efficient use of water. Therefore, RCWD requests the
inclusion of a mitigation measure for the City of Temeeula to modify its existing water efficient
landscaping ordinance to be completely consistent with thc provisions of the "model" watcr
efficient landscaping ordinance drafted by the Stale of Cali fomia.
Water Rccvcling in Landscaping Act
The water supply analyses preparcd for the Draft EIR, as noted in Section 16.d of the Initial
Study, should address the existing legislation entitled the Water Recycling in Landscaping Act
and conformancc with Section 13550-13556 of the State Water Code.
The City of TemecuJa was previously notified in December 2000, as required undcr Senate Bill
.2095 the "Water Recycling in Landscaping Act" that recycled watcr is available for certain areas
within theCity of Temeeula. It is RCWD's understanding that the City of Tcmecula has yet to
adopt a recycled water ordinance in aecordanec with the requirements of Senate Bill 2095.
RCWD therefore rcqucsts the City of Temecula include a mitigation measure to prepare and
adopt a recycled water ordinance in accordance with the requirements of Senate Bill 2095.
Although the City of Tcmecula comprises only 20% of RCWD's service area, the City of
Temeeula is RCWD's single largest water user. The majority of this water usc is for non-
domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. In accordance with Section 13550-13556 of the
State Water Code, this type of water use is a waste or unreasonable use of domestic water.
RCWD therefore requests the City of Tcmeeula include a mitigation measure to convert existing
City of Temecula non-domestic water uses to recycled water use where reasonably feasible, in
accordance with the requircmcnts of Section 13550-13556 of the State Water Code.
Underground Storage Tanks
During the preparation of the Draft EIR, RCWD. requests that the Draft EIR should provide a
detailed analysis of water supply impacts caused by leaking underground storage tanks, based
upon the proposed modifications tq the General Plan Land Use designations. Please be awarc
that significant water quality impacts have already occurred within the City of Temeeula due to
leaking underground storage tanks. Furthermore, RCWD requests the City of Temeeula include
a mitigation measure for new underground storage tanks to be prohibited in any area designated
within Zonc A of an EP A wellhead protection area.

Dear Mr. Hogan:
Re: City ofTemecula General Plan Updare; Inirial Study/Norice of Prepararion
SCH# 2003061041
Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Depmtmellt), Division of
Aeronautics, in the environmental rcview process for the above-referenced project. We have
reviewed the Initial SrudyINotice of Preparation for an Environmental Impact Report, dated
June 2003, and offer the following comments relati ve to airport land use compatibility planning:
1. The project is the adoption and implementation of the General Plan of the City of Temccula
to guide local planning dccisions over a 20-yem' pcriod. The planning m'ea includes the
City's incorporated limits and approximately 16,776 acres in the City's sphere of influence_
The Gencral Plan addresses the seven State-mandated general plan elements, as well as other
issues that are important to the community, such as growth management, economic
development, air quality, and community design. The Gencral Plan establishes a vision for
the City and promotes a strong local business community and agricultural and manufacturing
industries. The French Valley Airport is in the incorporated area of the City of Temecula.
2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section
21096, the Department's Airport Land Use Planning Handbook must be utilized as a resource
in the preparation of an environmental document for a proposed project within an airport land
use compatibility plan. For your refercnce, the Handbook can be viewed on-line at
h ttp:ffwww.dot.ca.govfhqfplanninfdaeronautfhtmlfilc/landuse.html.
3. The environmental document should be submitted to the French Valley Airport Manager's
office and the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission for a consistency
determination. The City should identify all potential encroachment issues of the planned
development. into thc basic safety · compatibility zoriesof. the French Valley Airport.
The proposed housing, land use; and trahSportationelememsof the General Plan should be
consistent with the applicable policies of the French Valley Airport Land Use COmpatibility
Plan (Government Code 65302.5). D ~. ~ [E D \IJ [Em

4. We are looking forward to reviewing the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed
General Plan Update. The need for compatible land uses near airports in Califomia is both a
local and State issue. Along with protecting individuals who reside or work near an airport,
the Division of Aeronautics views all public use airports in California as a part of the
statewide transportation system. This role will no doubt increase as California's population
continues to grow and the need for efficient mobility becomes more crucial. We strongly feci
that the protection of airports from the encroachment of incompatible land uses is vital to the
safety of airport operations, to the well being of community surrounding aviation facilities,
and to California's economic future.
These comments rcncet the areas of concern to the Department's Division of Aeronautics with
respect to airport-related noise and airport land use/safety compatibility issues. We advise you to
contact ow' District 08 office concerning sUlface transportation issues.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this environmental document. If you
have any questions, please call me at (916) 654-5253.
Sincerely,
-C. G,L...o...,.,...

the need for system expansion investments.
· RTP land use and growth strategies that differ from currently expected trends will
require a collaborative implementation program that identifies required actions and
policies by all affected agencies and sub-regions.
· HOV. gap closures that significantly increase transit and rideshare usage will be
supported and encouraged, subject to Policy #1.

WATER QUALITY CHAPTER RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLlCY OPTIONS
The Water Quality Chapter core recommendations and policy options relate to the two
water quality goals: to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity
of the nation's water; and, to achieve and maintain water quality objectives that are
necessary to protect all beneficial uses of all waters.
11.07 Encourage water reclamation throughout the region where it. is cost-effective,
feasible, and appropriate to reduce reliance on Imported water and wastewater
discharges. Current administrative impediments to increased use of wastewater
should be addressed.
GROWTH VISIONING
The fundamental goal of the Growth Visioning effort is to make the SCAG region a better
place to live, work and play for all residents regardless of race, ethnicity or income class.
Thus, decisions regarding growth, transportation, land use, and economic development
should be made to promote and sustain for future generations the region's mobility,
livability and prosperity. The following "Regional Growth Principles" are proposed to
provide a framework for local and regional decision making that improves the quality of
life for all SCAG residents. Each principle is followed by a specific set of. strategies
intended to achieve this goal.
Principle 1: Improve mobility for all residents
· Encourage transportation investments and land use decisions that are mutually
supportive.
· Locate new housing near existing jobs and new jobs near existing housing.
· Encourage transit-oriented development.
· Promote a variety of travel choices

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
PROJECT LOCA nON
The Temecula Planning Area consists of approximately 39,905 acres of land, located within the City
of Temecula (approximately 17,955 acres), as well as the City's surrounding Sphere of Influence
(approximately 15,341 acres) and Planning Area (approximately 6,609 acres) ((CBA Figure #}).
The City of Temecula is bounded on the north by the French Valley Region; on the northeast by the
Rancho California Region; on the southeast by the Pauba Valley Region; on the south by the Auga
Tiba Mountain Region; on the southwest by the Temecula Valley Region; and on the northwest by
the City of Murrieta.
The Temecula Planning Area is entirely located within the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation
Plan (MSHCP) area for western Riverside County. The MSHCP serves as a comprehensive, multi-
jurisdictional Habitat Conservation Plan, pursuant to Section (a)(1)(B) of the federal Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as well as a Natural Communities Conservation Plan (NCCP) under the NCCP
Act of 200 I (Dudek 2003a, p. 1-1). The plan "encompasses all unincorporated County land west of
the crest of the San Jacinto Mountains to the Orange County line, as weIl as the jurisdictional areas of
the Cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Norco, Corona, Riverside, Moreno
Valley, Banning Beaumont, Calimesa, Perris, Hemet, and San Jacinto." The overaIl biological goal
of the MSHCP is to conserve covered species and their habitats, as well as maintain biological
diversity and ecological processes while allowing for future economic growth within a rapidly
urbanizing region (Dudek 2003a, pp. I-I and 1-17).
GENERAL PHYSIOGRAPHY
The majority ofthe Temecula area is topographically characterized as flat terrain, with the elevation
gradually rising towards the southeast in the foothiIls of the Agua Tiba Mountains, ranging from
approximately 1000 to 1600 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) (USGS 1988, 1979, 1975, 1973).
Underlying surficial geology is predominantly mapped as Pleistocene nonmarine (Rogers 1966), and
general soils are mapped in the Friant-Cieneba-Exchequer association, including fine sandy loams,
sandy loams, and gravelly silt loams (Knecht 1971). The City of Temecula predominantly consists
of urban developed lands intermixed with native and non-native vegetation, and the City's
surrounding Sphere of Influence and Planning Area primarily comprise of agriculture lands to the
northeast and native vegetation to the southeast/southwest (Dudek 2003a, pp. 2-2 and 2-48).
French Valley Region
The French Valley Region is situated north of the City of Temecula, and a portion of this region is
located within the City's surrounding Sphere of Influence and Planning Area. This region consists of
relatively flat terrain at an approximate elevation of 1300 feet above MSL, with isolated buttes that
rise above the adjacent lands to approximately 1600 feet above MSL (USGS 1973). Tucaloca Creek
runs Jrom Lake Skinner, located to the east, to the northern boundary of the City of Temecula.
Dominant soil types include Arlington and Greenfield fine sandy loams, Monserate sandy loam, and
Placentia fine sandy loams; Escondido fine sandy loams and GrangeviIle fine sandy loams within
Auld VaIley; and Ramona and Buren loams, and Cajalco rocky fine sandy loam along Tucaloca

Creek (Knecht 1971). The region is comprised predominately of agricultural lands, as well as
patches of native and non-native vegetation (Dudek 2003a, pp. 2-2 and 2-48).
Rancho California Region
The Rancho California Region extends northeast of Rancho California Road and Interstate Highway
15 to the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, and a portion of this region is located within the City
of Temecula, as well as the City's surrounding Planning Area. The elevation generally rises from
west to east, at approximately 1400 to 1600 feet above MSL (USGS 1973). Empire Creek runs
east/west along Rancho California Road and merges with Murrieta Creek, which runs north/south
along the western side of Interstate Highway 15 in the City of Temecula. Santa Gertrudis Creek
. merges with Tucaloca Creek along the City's northern boundary, and merges with Murrieta Creek
west of Interstate Highway 15. Dominant soil types include Arlington and Greenfield fine sandy
loams, Grangeville fine sandy loam, and Greenfield sandy loam; and Hanford coarse sandy loam and
Ramona sandy loam along the creek beds (Knecht 1971). The majority of the region is comprised of
urban developed lands and small canyons of native and non-native vegetation, with a few agricultural
lands located near Interstate Highway 15 and Santa Gertrudis Creek, as well as east of the City of
Temecula (Dudek 2003a, pp. 2-2 and 2-48).
Pauba Valley Region
The Pauba Valley Region extends southeast of Rancho California Road and the Elisnore Fault Zone
to Vail Lake and the Agua Calienta Fault Zone, and a portion of this region is located within the City
of Temecula, as well as the City's surrounding Planning Area. The relatively flat terrain ranges from
an approximate low elevation of 1000 feet above MSL to a high elevation of 1300 feet MSL in the
eastern foothills (USGS 1988). Temecula Creek runs from Vail Lake along the City's southern
boundary. Pechanga Creek runs through the Pechanga Indian Reservation southeast of Temecula,
and merges with Temecula Creek east of Interstate Highway 15. Dominant soil types include
Arlington and Greenfield fine sandy loams, Grangeville fine sandy loam, Greenfield sandy loam, and
Visalia fine sandy loam within Pauba Valley; Riverwash along Temecula Creek; and Hanford coarse
sandy loam south of Pauba Valley (Knecht 1971). Urban developed lands and canyons of native and
non-native vegetation comprise the majority of the region, with a few agricultural lands located near
Temecula Creek to the east of the City ofTemecula (Dudek 2003a, pp. 2-2 and 2-48).
Agua Tibia Mountain Region
The Agua Tibia Mountain Region is situated south of the City of Temecula, and a portion of this
region is located within the City's surrounding Sphere of Influence. The elevation is generally
higher than 1200 feet above MSL in the mountain terrain (USGS 1988, 1975). Dominant soil types
include Cienaba sandy loam and Rock land (Knecht 1971). The region is primarily comprised of
native vegetation (Dudek 2003a, pp. 2-2 and 2-48).
Temecula Valley Region
The Temecula Valley Region is situated to the southwest of the City of Temecula, and a portion of
this region is located within the City of Temecula, as well as the City's surrounding Sphere of
Influence. Temecula Valley follows the Elsinore Fault Zone between .the eastern side of the Santa
Ana Mountains and the City's western boundary, ranging in elevation from approximately 1000 to.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
A total of 19 vegetation types, based on the most current Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
data available for the Temecula region, have been delineated within the Planning Area (Table I;
(CBA Figure #}) (KTU+A and PSBS 1995; as cited in Dudek 2003a, p. 2-1). For the purposes of
planning analysis, the vegetation types have been collapsed into 10 vegetation categories and are
classified according to the Holland Code (HC) classification system (Holland 1986), consistent with
the format provided in the MSHCP. The following text generally discusses the characteristics of the
vegetation classifications and associated floral resources (Hickman 1993), representative of the
original regional mapping effort conducted in 1995, as well as ground-truthing conducted by Merkel
& Associates, Inc. on August 14 and 15,2003. Existing site-specific conditions may slightly differ
from these representations.

Coastal Sage Scrub
Coastal Sage Scrub occupies a total of approximately 3,430 acres of land throughout the Planning
Area, and includes two sub-associations, Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub and Riversidean Sage Scrub.
Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub
The majority of the sage scrub vegetation found along the County of Riverside/San Diego border and
in the foothills of the southeastern Santa Ana Mountains consists of Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (HC
32500). This phase of sage scrub is a low-lying, relatively open scrub with desert affinities, and is
comprised of soft-woody, drought deciduous species that provide the majority of the vegetative
cover. Characteristic flora species include California Sagebrush (Artemisia cal(fornica), Flat-top
Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis), Deerweed (Lotus
scoparius), White Sage (Salvia apiana), California Encelia (Encelia californica), Goldenbush
(Isocoma menziesii), Laurel Sumac (Malosma laurina), Foothill Needlegrass (Nassella lepida),
Lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia), Black Sage (Salvia mellifera), San Diego Monkeyflower
(Mimulus aurantiacus), and California Brickellbush (Brickellia californica). Diegan Coastal Sage
Scrub occupies a relatively small portion of land, approximately 671 acres, within the southern
portion of the Planning Area, along the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains and north of Pechanga
Indian Reservation. The quality of the sage scrub habitat in these areas is considered to be good
given the generally undisturbed nature of the vegetation, contiguous with other native habitat to the
south of the Planning Area.
Riversidean Sage Snub
Riversidean Sage Scrub (HC 32700) occurs extensively on the plains of western Riverside County,
and throughout much of the Temecula region. This phase of sage scrub is similar to Diegan Coastal
Sage Scrub; however, characteristic flora species can differ and include Brittlebush (Encelia
farinosa), Boundary Goldenbush (Ericameria bruchylcpis), Yellow Bush Penstemon (Keckiella
antirrhinoides), and Parry Cholla (Opuntia parryi). Riversidean Sage Scrub occupies approximately
2,759 acres of land throughout the Planning Area, inCluding patches of sage scrub located within the
southern portion of the French Valley Region, as well as within the City of Temecula, south of
Rancho California Road between Margarita Road and Ynez Road, and along Butterfield Stage Road.
The quality of the sage scrub habitat is considered to be good in the French Valley Region, and varies
within the City of Temecula, dependent on the presence of adjacent nati ve habitats.
Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub
Tracts of Riversidean Alluvial Fan Scrub (HC 32720), a sub-association of Riversidean Sage Scrub,
were once found along'several major tributaries in the Temecula region; however, this vegetation
type is now almost extirpated from the area. The scrub is restricted to floodplains and the periphery
of drainages where deeply bedded, sandy alluvium is occupied by flora species which thrive in soils
that are generally poor in nutrients. Characteristic flora species include Scale-broom (Lepidospartum
squamatum), Sand-wash Butterweed (Senecio flaccidus var. douglasii), Woolly Lotus (Lotus
heermannii), Common Croton (Croton californicus), and Smooth Tarplant (Deinandra pungens ssp.
laevis). A few small areas of Riversidean Alluvial Fan Scrub, approximately 229 acres, are still
found along Temecula Creek, as well as Santa Gertrudis Creek and the southern portion of Tucaloca
Creek. The quality of the scrub habitat is generally considered to be poor given the constrained
nature of the habitat by urban development.

Environmental Analysis
Biological Resources
Disturbed Alluvial
This disturbance-associated vegetation community, which occupies approximately 49 acres of the
Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub mapped along Temecula Creek, typically occurs where
extensive impacts have denuded a broad sandy floodplain removing most of the vegetative cover,
such as with sand mining activities. Although such lands may eventually recover to a form of
riparian habitat, flooding is often necessary to introduce the wetland seed components. Small xeric-
adapted annuals, such as species of Everlasting (Gnaphalium sp.), may occur sporadically in this
open terrain, and Mule Fat (Baccharis salicifolia) is usually the first wetland species to pioneer in
substantial numbers.
Chaparral
Chaparral (HC 37000) occupies a total of approximately 4,641 acres of land located primarily in the
southern and southwestern portions of the Planning Area. It is likely that these areas consist of
several different chaparral sub-associations, including Chamise Chaparral, Southern Mixed
Chaparral, and Red Shank Chaparral, which have not been mapped, in detail. In general, chaparral
vegetation occurs on dry, rocky, and often steep north-facing slopes, and is dominated by relatively
tall (between 1.5-3 meters), broad-leaved, deep-rooted, woody shrubs. Chaparral vegetation located
on south-facing slopes is typically more open and can form a mosaic with sage scrub vegetation. The
chaparral vegetation types within the Planning Area are relatively undisturbed and contiguous with
other native habitat; therefore, the quality of the vegetation is generally considered to be very good.
Chamise Chaparral
Chamise Chaparral (HC 37200) is locally common on poorly developed soils throughout the
Temecula area, and is a lower growing chaparral dominated by Chamise (Adenostomafasciculatum),
with comparatively limited shrub diversity and arid understory conditions.
Southern Mixed Chaparral
Southern Mixed Chaparral (HC 37120), potentially located in the foothills at the extreme southern
portion of the Planning Area, is a mid-sized to tall chaparral, with limited shrub diversity in drier
areas, but. a floristically varied understory with numerous species of subshrubs, herbaceous
perennials, bulbs, and annuals in shaded and weller areas. Characteristic flora species include
Rainbow Manzanita (Arctostaphylos rainbowensis), Ramona Ceanothus (Ceanothus tomentosus),
San Diego Mountain-mahogany (Cercocarpus minutiflorus), Holly-leaf Redberry (Rhamnus
ilicifolia), Sugar Bush (Rhus ovata), and Fuchsia-flowered Gooseberry (Ribes speciosum).
Red Shank Chaparral
Isolated tracts of. Red Shank Chaparral (HC 37300), a taller growing chaparral type with limited
shrub diversity, dominated by Red Shank (Adenostoma sparsifolium), may occur at higher elevations
within the extreme southeastern portions of the Planning Area.
Non-Native Grassland
Non-Native grasslands (HC 42200) are widely dispersed throughout. the Temecula region, covering
approximately 8,436 acres of land within the Planning Area. This "introduced" grassland consists of
a dense to open cover of predominantly Eurasian grasses that have become widespread on disturbed
or heavily grazed lands. Non-native grasses include brome species such as Bromus madritensis ssp.
rubens, B. hordeaceus, B. diandrus, and Slender Wild Oat (Avena barbata), as well as forbs, such as

mustard (Hirshfeldia incana and Brassica nigra), and filarees such as Erodium brachycarpum, E.
cicutarium, and E. moschatum. Patches of Non-Native Grassland Occur within the French Valley
Region, as well as throughout the City of Temecula. The quality of these grasslands is expected to
coincide with the quality of the surrounding vegetation communities and land uses, and the
vegetation has a potential to support wildlife species that are grassland specialists, as well as provide
foraging habitat and habitat connectivity for wildlife species.
Vernal Pools
Vernal Pools (HC 44000) are a rare vegetation community type comprised of seasonally flooded
depressions generally found in grasslands that are ponded long enough during the wetter portion of
the growing season to support wetland hydrophytic vegetation, as well as many sensitive species.
Characteristic flora species include Woolly Marbles (Psilocarphus brevissimus), Downingia
(Downingia belial, Parish's Meadowfoam (Limnanthes gracilis spp. parishii), and Skunkweed
(Navarretia prostrata). Vernal pools vary in size and are typically located on low permeable,
bedrock or hard clay soils that aid in retaining water. Native annuals often bloom in circles that
coincide with the receding shoreline of the pools, and the pools may be completely dry during the
majority of the season. Vernal pools have been documented within the Planning Area at Skunk
Hollow, in the French Valley Region north of Murrieta Hot Springs Road, and comprise
approximately 16 acres of land.
Riparian Scrub, Woodland, Forest
Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest occupies a total of approximately 515 acres of land
throughout the Planning Area, and includes five sub-associations, Southern CottonwoodlWillow
Riparian Forest, Southern Sycamore/Alder Riparian Forest, Riparian Scrub, Mule Fat Scrub, and
Southern Willow Scrub.
Southern Cottonwood/Willow Riparian Forest
Southern CottonwoodlWillow Riparian Forest (HC 61300) occupies floodplains and bottomlands
where seasonal rainfall runoff is generally substantial, and is dominated by sizeable trees, with a rich,
diverse floristic understory. This riparian forest can include a mix of mature trees, including such
species as Goodding's Black Willow (Salix gooddingii), Arroyo Willow (Salix lasiolepis), Lance-leaf
Willow (Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra), Fremont Cottonwood (Populus fremontii), and Coast Live Oak
(Quercus agrifolia). Characteristic understory flora species include California Blackberry (Rubus
,,,sinus), Mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana), Mule Fat, and Hoary Nettle (Urtica dioica ssp.
holosericea). Three locales, consisting of approximately 67 acres, are located within the Planning
Area along Santa Gertrudis Creek and Temecula Creek. The quality of the riparian habitat is
considered to be moderate given the constrained nature of the habitat by agricultural lands and urban
development.
Southern Sycamore/Alder Riparian Woodland
Southern Sycamore/Alder Riparian Woodland (HC 62400) is an open deciduous woodland located
on broad alluvial or rocky drainages and floodplains. Generally rainfall runoff is substantial but
seasonal, and the water table may be high when no surficial flows are present. Western Sycamores
(Platanus racemosa) dominate this riparian woodland, with scattered clumps of willows' and
occasional thickets of riparian understory components. Additional characteristic flora species
include Blue Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana), Western Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum),'

Oak Mistletoe (Phoradendron villosum), Desert Wild Grape (Vitis girdiana), and Emory's Baccharis
(Baccharis emaryi). A single, isolated stand of moderate to low quality riparian woodland comprises
approximately 4 acres of land northeast of Pechanga Creek, at the southern boundary of the City of
Temecula. .
Riparian Scrub
Riparian Scrub (HC 63000) is a mix of younger successional, low-growing riparian forest trees and
shrubs, generally restricted to a relatively narrow. streamcourse or seasonal drainage. Characteristic
flora species can include several different species, such as Box Elder (Acer negunda ssp.
califarnicum), Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifalia), White Alder (Alnus rhambifalia), Sycamore,
Fremont Cottonwood, Southern California Black Walnut (Juglans calif arnica var. californica), Blue
Elderberry, Desert Wild Grape, Western Poison Oak, and Great Marsh Evening Primrose (Genathera
elata). Approximately 158 acres of moderate quality riparian scrub are located within the Planning
Area along Murrieta Creek and unnamed drainages in the French Valley Region.
Mule Fat Scrub
Mule Fat Scrub (HC 63310) consists of riparian scrub dominated by Mule Fat, with patchy
understory development. The scrub is typically scattered along intermittent streams with frequent
flooding, which prevents succession to riparian forest or woodlands. Additional characteristic flora
species include"Arroyo Willow, Sedge (Carex sp.), and Hoary Nettle. Moderate quality Mule Fat
Scrub is primarily located along Temecula Creek, as well as the southern portion of Murrieta Creek,
and comprises approximately 116 acres of land within the Planning Area.
Southern Willow Scrub
Southern Willow Scrub (HC 63320) consists of winter-deciduous thickets of riparian scrub
dominated by Arroyo Willow, Red Willow (Salix laevigata), Lance-leaf Willow, and Narrow-leaved
Willow (Salix exigua), with limited understory development and scattered inclusions of emergent
Fremont Cottonwoods and Western Sycamores. This scrub typically occurs along narrow riparian
channels with repeated flooding that prevents succession to Southern Cottonwood-Sycamore
Riparian Forest, and the limited understory is often readily degraded and invaded by invasive weedy
species, such as Tamarisk (Tamarisk sp.), Giant Reed (Arunda danax), and Pampas Grass
(Cortaderia sellaana). Approximately 170 acres of moderate quality Southern Willow Scrub are
located within the Planning Area, primarily along Temecula Creek, as well as Tucaloca Creek.
Coast Live Oak Woodland
Coast Live Oak Woodland (HC 71160) is primarily located in the foothills of the Agua Tiba and
Santa Ana Mountains. This vegetation community is an evergreen woodland primarily dominated by
Coast Live Oak, with a relatively open and low-growing understory that can support both upland and

Characteristic tlora species include Western Poison Oak, California Blackberry, San Diego Sedge
(Carex spissa), California Coffeeberry (Rhamnus ~alijornica), California Rose (Rosa califarnica),
Nodding Needlegrass (Nassella cernua), and Large Clarkia (Clarkia purpurea). Coastal Live Oak
woodland occupies approximately 584 acres of land within the southern portion of the Planning
Area. The quality of this habitat is considered to be very good given its location within relatively
undisturbed areas.

Open Water/Reservoir/Pond
Within the Planning Area, this vegetation category primarily includes stream channels consisting of
standing water adjacent to riparian and upland vegetation communities, as well as artificially created
bodies of water, such as stock ponds. These areas are typically devoid of flowering flora, and
vegetation consists of floating aquatic plants. Characteristic flora species include Pondweed
(Potamogeton sp.), Duckweed (Lemna sp.), Pacific Mosquitofern (Azolla Jiliculoides), Common
Waternymph (Najas guadalupensis), and Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum). Approximately 94
acres of open water, reservoirs, or stock ponds are located within the Planning Area, and the majority
of these areas are isolated by urban development.
Residential/Urban/Exotic Land
A large portion of the Planning Area, approximately 13,555 acres, is comprised of
ResidentiallUrbanlExotic lands, which consist of urban/developed lands, non-native/exotic
vegetation, eucalyptus woodland, and disturbed habitat. Urban and semi-urban areas contain
numerous and varied horticultural plantings located within residential yards, active-use parklands,
and golf courses. In the older, urbanized portions of the Temecula Valley, tall exotic plantings, .such
as Australian Eucalyptus trees (Eucalyptus sp.) form well-developed, dense woodlands.
Occasionally, other planted woodlands, such as introduced pines, elms, and African Tamarisk
(Tamarix aphylla) are used as windbreaks. Disturbed areas are typically located adjacent to
urbanization and contain a high percentage of bare ground or mix of invasive broad-leaved, non-
native forb and annual species, usually found pioneering On recently disturbed soils. Characteristic
non-native species include Prickly Sow Thistle (Sonchus asper), Common Sow Thistle (Sonchus
olcraceus), Bristly Ox-tongue (Pieris echioides), Russian Thistle (Salsola tragus), Giant Reed,
Hottentot-Fig (Carpobrotus edulis), Wild Lettuce (Lactuca serriola), Tree Tobacco (Nicotiana
glauca), Castor-bean (Ricinus communis), Pampas Grass, Smooth Cat's-ear (Hypochoeris glabra),
Red-stem Filaree (Erodium cicutariwn), Short-beak Filaree (Erodium brachycarpum), and
White-stem Filaree (Erodium moschatum). ResidentiallUrbanlExotic lands do not typically contain
native vegetation or provide essential habitat connectivity; however, exotic woodland habitats do
provide nesting and perching habitat for many avian species, particularly raptors.
Agricultural Land
Agricultural Land occupies a total of approximately 8,405 acres of land throughout the Planning
Area, and includes two agricultural land use types, Field Croplands and Groves/Orchards.
Field Croplands
Field Croplands, consisting of extensive agricultural lands used as unoccupied field/pasture areas or
for herbaceous crops, occupy approximately 6,343 acres within the Planning Area. The majority of
these lands are located within the French Valley Region, and along the northern and southeastern
boundaries of the City of Temecula. TheField Croplands are situated on relatively flat terrain, where
soils are suitable for agricultural planting, and where nearby watercourses, such as TucaJoca Creek,
Santa Gertrudis Creek, and Temecula Creek, are present for irrigation access. Field/pastureareas
contain remnant native and non-native weedy species and common herbaceous crops, such as barely,
tomatoes, potatoes, and onions. Field Croplands do not typically contain native vegetation; however,
these lands do provide foraging ground and habitat for raptorial birds and small mammal species, and

, Groves/Orchards
Approximately 2,062 acres within the Planning Area are comprised of Groves/Orchards, consisting
primarily of woody crops such as citrus fruits and avocados. The majority of these crops are located
to the east of the City of Temecula, within the City's surrounding Sphere of Influence and Planning
Area. The crops are typically grown on areas with steeper slopes, fertile soils, and irrigation access
to nearby watercourses, such as Murrietta Creek. Herbaceous understories may be planted or occur
naturally, but the understories are open in density to facilitate with crop harvesting. Although
Groves/Orchards do not typically contain native vegetation, they do provide cover for wildlife
movement, as well as perch and nest sites for raptorial and passerine bird species.

Regional Wildlife HabitaUFauna
The value of the aforementioned vegetation communities for wildlife is primarily dependent on both
physical and biological factors, including locations to relative land uses, the quality of habitat within
and adjacent to the region, and the uniqueness of the habitat within a regional context. The Planning
Area encompasses habitats ranging from disturbed, to' very good quality, native vegetation
communities. Within the City of Temecula, a predominance of urban development and road
bisections constrains or eliminates habitat connectivity, thereby decreasing the wildlife value of
much of the Planning Area. Regions of prime importance to wildlife are generally concentrated
within the City's surrounding Sphere of Influence, particularly within the French Valley Region, as
well as southeast and southwest of the City of Temecula. The following text generally discusses the
fauna species known or with a potential to occur in the Planning Area, based on the general
knowledge of regional species occurrences in the identified habitats, as well as accepted standard
references (freshwater fishes: Hendrickson 1998; butterflies: Opler 1999; amphibians and reptiles:
Crother 2001; birds: American Ornithologsts' Union 2002 and 1998; mammals: Wilson 1993).
Fauna species are discussed in a regi.onal context; therefore, existing site-specific conditions may
differ since species presence cannot be predicted by vegetation community presence alone.
Invertebrates
Limited information is available to provide a thorough description of all invertebrate fauna found
within the Temecula region; however, butterfly species and vernal pool brachiopods have been fairly
well documented (Table 2). Butterfly species occur in a wide range of habitats; including sage scrub
and chaparral, open areas devoid of substantial shrub cover such as non-native grasslands and
agricultural/disturbed land, as well as more densely vegetated areas such as riparian habitat and oak
woodlands. These habitats provide various host-specific plants suitable for larval development, adult
nectar resources, and topographical features, such' as hilltops or open ground that aid in courtship and
mating. In contrast, vernal pool brachiopods are strongly restricted to vernal pool habitat, and
consequently, many of these species are considered to be sensitive. Quality habitat for a diverse
assemblage of butterflies is generally located in the extreme northern, southern, and western portions
, of the Planning Area; while vernal pool locations are concentrated to the north, in the French Valley
Region.

Fisbes
Insufficient information exists to provide a complete description of all fish species found within the
Temecula region. Local fish mostly include non-native species, such as introduced game fish (e.g.,
Large-mouth Bass) and fish introduced for specific beneficial purposes (e.g., Mosquitofish). Native
fish species are limited within the Planning Area due to the introduction of these non-native species,
and potentially include such species as the sensitive, Arroyo Chub (Gila orcutti), known to occur
near the Santa Margarita River.
Amphibians
Amphibians typically occur in riparian habitats with peripheral upland vegetation. Riparian
ecosystems often provide temporary ponding water utilized as breeding habitat by various
amphibious species, as well as abundant vegetation for cover and foraging. Amphibians will also
create burrows in adjacept upland habitats, such as sage scrub and non-native grasslands, where they
will aestivate (or spend time. in a dormant state, similar to hibernation). Amphibian species with a
potential to occur in the Planning Area include native species such as the Garden Slender Salamander
(Batrachoseps major), Arboreal Salamander (Aneides lugubris), Western Toad (Bufo boreas),
California Chorus Frog (Pseudacris cadaverina), and Pacific Chorus Frog (Pseudacris regiUa); non-

Reptiles
Reptiles occur in a variety of habitats, including riparian, oak woodland, sage scrub, and chaparral
habitats, as well as grasslands and agricultural/disturbed lands (Table 3). Lizards and snakes utilize
rock crevices for cover within the habitat, and feed on small insects and insect larvae among the leaf
litter. Quality reptilian habitat is generally located in the southern and southwestern portions of the
Planning Area; however, the non-native grasslands throughout the City of Temecula, as well as the
agricultural lands located in the French Valley Region, are also expected to support several reptilian
species.

Birds
Several vegetation communities provide habitat fonlllmerous species of resident and migratory birds
(Table 4). A number of avian species breed within sage scrub and chaparral habitats, and forage
among the leaf litter in the vegetative understory. Rocky outcrops, particularly on undisturbed slopes
or peaks can provide perching or roosting sites for raptors; and grasslands and agricultural lands
located adjacent to woodland areas provide foraging habitat for resident, wintering, and migrant
raptors. Avian diversity and abundance is substantial within riparian and oak woodland habitats.
These habitats are comprised of several horizontal niches including canopy, shrub, herb, and ground,
which provide a network of valuable roosting, foraging, and breeding areas for birds. Quality avian
habitat within the Planning Area is concentrated in the areas where the vegetation is less disturbed
and provides habitat connectivity; however, the various creeks and tributaries within the City of
Temecula, as well as the French Valley Region, also provide some measure of habitat connectivity,
and potential avian breeding and foraging areas.

Mammals
Without trapping, the presence of mammal species must be discerned through habitat suitability,
species range and biological records; many mammals are nocturnal and secreti ve, and indirect signs
for a number of species, particularly rodents, can be similar. Small mammal species typically occur
in sage scrub, chaparral, grasslands and agricultural/disturbed areas, and several of these species will
intermittently utilize riparian and woodland habitats for foraging and cover (Table 5). Various
species of bats will also forage in grasslands and woodland habitats. Larger mammals often require
greater blocks of connected habitat for hunting and travel within their range. Quality habitat for
small mammal species is generally located throughout the Planning Area; however, the only areas
consisting of wider, connected blocks of habitat suitable for larger mammal species are located in the
southern and southwestern portions of the Planning Area.

Regional Sensitive Habitats
Sensitive habitats include vegetation communities that support rare and endangered species, and/or
have been substantially depleted by development, or are naturally limited in distribution within a
certain region (California Resources Agency 200 I, (15380). Five regionally sensitive habitats are
identified within the Planning Area: I) Coastal Sage Scrub/Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub; 2)
Vernal Pools/Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest/Open Water, Reservoir, Pond 3) Coast Live Oak
Woodland; 4) Raptor Foraging/Wintering Habitat; and 5) Designated Critical Habitat.
Coastal Sage Scrub/Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub
Coastal sage scrub has been substantially reduced in southern California largely due to urban and
agricultural development, and several sensitive wildlife species are dependent on this habitat. Sage
scrub vegetation communities provide habitat for the federally-listed, threatened California
Gnatcatcher, as well' as several other state and locally sensitive species. In addition, sage scrub
habitats often include rocky outcrops, which increase species diversity by creating microhabitats that
are regularly used by sensitive butterfly, reptile, and raptor species. The majority of the sage scrub
habitat within the Planning Area has been fragmented by development, reducing wildlife value;
however, several of the sage scrub patches throughout the City of Temecula, and particularly in the
French Valley Region, may provide narrow habitat linkages or stepping stone connections enabling
wildlife species to disperse to larger areas of native habitat within the region.
Vernal Pools/Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest/Open Water, Reservoir, Pond
Vernal pools, riparian vegetation, and water are wetland habitat types that have extremely high
wildlife values, are naturally limited in distribution, and also have been substantially depleted within
southern California. . Numerous species, including several sensitive species, are dependent on these
habitats for food, cover, and breeding, and several additional species, although not dependent on
these habitats, utilize these areas on a regular basis. Wetland and riparian habitats are located
throughout the Planning Area along the various creeks and tributaries, and vernal pools are located at
Skunk Hollow in the French Valley Region. Although these habitats are typically constrained by
peripheral development, thereby reducing wildlife value, these areas are vital in maintaining existing
habitat connectivity and wildlife corridor value throughout the region.
Coast Live Oak Woodland
Oak woodlands also have extremely high wildlife value, are naturally limited in distribution, and
have been substantially depleted within southern California. Oak woodlands vary in terms of species
composition, density, understory, and regeneration capacity. This variance typically influences
wildlife .abundance and habitat quality, but regardless of quality, oaks that form woodlands are
generally considered to have high biological value for numerous wildlife species. In addition, oak
trees are susceptible to indirect long-term impacts from disease, pollution, and changes in water
availability, causing loss of regenerative ability within individual oak stands (Johnson 1995). Oak
. .
woodlands are limited within the Planning Area, but those .that occur along or abut creeks have
increased wildlife value. Additionally, oak woodlands adjacent to more open vegetation, such as
coastal sage scrub and non-native grasslands with a high abundance of rodent prey items, have
increased wildlife value, particularly for raptor species.

Raptor Wintering/Foraging Habitat
Although non-native grasslands and agricultural lands would not typically be considered sensitive
habitat types, they would be considered sensitive if they were to supp'ort listed sensitive species (e.g.,
some raptors), or were of particular biological value to these species. These vegetation communities,
particularly when located adjacent to woodland habitats, provide a good prey base and suitable
hunting habitat for resident, wintering, and transient raptor populations. Within the Planning Area,
potential raptor wintering and foraging habitat is primarily located in the French Valley Region and
south of the City of Temecula.
Designated Critical Habitat
The Planning Area is partially located within United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
designated critical habitat for the federally-listed, threatened, California Gnatcatcher and endangered,
Quino Checkerspot Butterfly (ICBA Figure #)).
Unit 10 of the California Gnatcatcher Critical Habitat encompasses approximately 199,940 acres of
land within the Western Riverside County MSHCP area (USFWS 2000, p. 63686). The
TemeculalMurrietalLake Skinner subunit is partially located within the Temecula Planning Area and
consists of essential linkages between core gnatcatcher populations. Two linkages' are located in the
French Valley Region, connecting habitat to the north and northeast of the City of Temecula, and one
linkage is located in the Temecula Valley Region (1-15 corridor), connecting habitat to the south of
the City of Temecula into the County of San Diego.
Unit 2 of the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly Critical Habitat encompasses approximately 85,950 acres
of land within southwestern Riverside County and northern San Diego County (USFWS 2002, pp.
18364-18365). The TemeculalMurrieta/Oak Grove subunit is partially located within the Temecula
Planning Area, and extends east from Interstate Highway 215, across the French Valley Region, and
then north to the town of Hemet in Riverside County and south to Oak Grove Valley in San Diego
County. Recent quino observations have been recorded throughout this subunit, indicating that the
landscape provides some measure of habitat connectivity essential to the conservation of the Quino
Checkerspot Butterfly.
MSHCP Conservation Area/Cores and Linkages/Wildlife Corridors
The Temecula Planning Area is partially located within subunits I, 2, 5, and 6 of the MSHCP,
Southwest Area Plan (( CBA Figure #)) (Dudek 20ma, p. 3-380). Each these subunits identify
conceptual MSHCP reserve designs, as well as applicable cores and linkages, and biological issues
and considerations.
Subunit 1, Murrieta Creek
Within the Temecula Planning Area, the focus of conservation for Subunit I is to maintain habitat
. connectivity within Murrieta Creek at the confluence of Pechanga Creek, Temecula Creek, and the
Santa Margarita River, as well as between Murrieta Creek and Lower Warm Springs Creek, to
facilitate wildlife movement and conserve wetland species (Dudek 20ma, p. 3-382). Murrieta Creek
functions as a constrained local wildlife corridor (Proposed Constrained Linkage 13) that connects
the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve (Existing Core F), located to the northwest of the City of
Temecula, to upland native habitat (Proposed Linkage 10) which connects to the Santa Margarita
Ecological Reserve (Existing Core G), located to the southwest of the City of Temecula (Dudek
2003a; p. 3-85). Murrieta Creek is located within the Temecula Valley Region of Planning Area, and

is predominately constrained by urban development; however, quality riparian habitat is present
along the edges of the creek.
Subunit 2, Temecula and Pecbanga Creeks
Within the Temecula Planning Area, the focus of conservation for Subunit 2 is to maintain habitat
connectivity within Temecula and Pechanga Creeks to facilitate wildlife movement (Dudek 2003a, p.
3-383). The portions of Pechanga and Temecula Creeks located in the southwestern section of the
City of Temecula function as constrained local wildlife corridors (Proposed Constrained Linkage 14)
that connect to upland native habitat and the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve (Dudek 2003a, p. 3-
86). The portion of Temecula creek east of Redhawk Parkway and west of Pauba Road functions as
a constrained local wildlife corridor (Proposed Constrained Linkage 24) that connects to core
biological resource areas in Wilson Valley, located to the east of the City of Temecula (Dudek
2003a, p. 3-95). Temecula and Pechanga Creeks are located within the Pauba Valley Region of the
Planning Area, and primarily consist of quality riparian habitat constrained by urban development.
Subunit 5, French Valley/Lower Sedco Hills
Within the Temecula Planning Area, the focus of conservation for Subunit 5 is to maintain core and
linkage habitat for the federally-listed, endangered, Riverside Fairy Shrimp and Quino Checkerspot
Butterfly in the French Valley Region, respectively (Dudek 2003a, p. 3-388). The Skunk Hollow
area (Existing Constrained Linkage A) and lower Tucaloca Creek (Existing Constrained Linkage E)
consist of land in a conservation easement that connect the French Valley Region to Antelope Valley
(Proposed Core 2) in the west and Johnson Ranch (Existing Core J) in the east (Dudek 2003a, pp. 3-
52 and 3-56, respectively). These linkages are constrained primarily by agricultural lands.
Subunit 6, Santa Rosa Plateau
Within the Temecula Planning Area, the focus of conservation for Subunit 6 is maintenance of large
blocks of core and linkage native habitat (Dudek 2003a, p. 3-390). The land to the southwest of
Murrieta Creek in the Temecula Valley Region of the Planning Area functions as an upland habitat
connection (Proposed Linkage 10) between the Santa Rosa Plateau and Santa Margarita Ecological
Reserves (Dudek 2003 a, p. 3-105). This area primarily consists of native coastal sage scrub and
chaparral habitat.
Rare, Threatened, Endangered, Endemic, and/or Sensitive Species, or MSHCP
Covered Species
Regulatory authority is issued over sensitive species listed as endangered or threatened under the
federal Endangered Species Act and/or California Endangered Species Act, while other sensitivity
listings by the state, local jurisdictions, and/or private groups are generally advisory in nature. Table
6 summarizes the rare, threatened, endangered, endemic, 'and/or sensitive species, or MSHCP
covered species, known or with a potential to Occur in the Planning Area, based on existing MSHCP
and California Department of Fish and Game Natural Diversity Database data, as well as general
knowledge of sensitive species occurrences in the identified habitats.

Issues
Issue 1: To what extent would the Project result in impacts to sensitive habitat or a reduction in
the number of any unique, rare, endangered, sensitive, or fully protected species of plants,
vegetation communities, or animals?
I
Issue 2: To what extent would the Project affect the long-term conservation of biological
resources?
I
Thresholds of Significance
I
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 815065 state that a project may have
a significant effect on the environment if:
I
o 'The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish and wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population
to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce
the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare or threatened species, or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory."
I
I
o "The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of
long-term environmental goals."
I
o "The project has possible environmental effects which are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable."
.'
Biological resources generally considered significant include: vegetation communities that support
sensitive flora or fauna species; unique vegetation communities that are limited in distribution and
have a critical ecological role; and habitats supporting species considered rare or threatened by the
agencies that enforce the Federal and California Endangered Species Act. It is important to note that
the significance of a given activity is variable according to the environmental setting.
I
I
For the purposes of this EIS/EIR, a significant biological resources impact would occur if
implementation of the project would result in:
I
o Impacts to regionally sensitive habitats;
o Impacts to designated critical habitat, where the proposed activity requires a Federal permit or
funding;
o Impacts to lands within a MSHCP Conservation/Core or Linkage Area;
o Impacts to federally or state listed species, including impacts to occupied habitats;
o Impacts to MSHCP narrow endemic species;
o Loss of a "significa[lt population" of a sensitive species; where the loss would substantially
reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the species; and,
o Violation of the policies and conditions of the MSHCP within the City limits of Temecula and
surrounding Sphere of Influence and Planning Area.

Environmental Analysis
Biological Resources
Impacts and Significance of Impacts
The proposed project is being evaluated at a General Plan EIS/EIR tier level; therefore, biological
impacts resulting from project implementation are assessed on the basis of proposed General Plan
land use policy amendments. For the purposes of this analysis, potential biological impacts are being
evaluated according to the five designated regions within the Planning Area. The following text
provides a qualitative approach to a plan-to-ground impact analysis, based on the potential for direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts to existing biological conditions under the proposed planning
actions, as well as a determination of biological significance for each potential impact per CEQA and
the MSHCP.
Direct Impacts
CEQA guidelines define a "direct impact or primary effect" as "effects which are caused by the
project and occur at the same time and place" that can produce a temporary or permanent
biologically significant, "physical change" in the environment (California Resources Agency 2001,
815358). .
Adoption of this General Plan Amendment EIS/EIR would not result in significant, temporary or
permanent direct impacts to existing biological resources; however, adoption of this document will
lead to potential direct impacts in the future through approval of development projects. Therefore,
this analysis identifies potential future impacts that could occur through increased future
development, and these impacts are cited as potential future "indirect impacts." Planning actions
ultimately resulting in quantifiable direct impacts to biological resources would be addressed
subsequently through analysis at a lower tier, project-specific level of environmental review.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures I through 3 would provide for completion of further
environmental review at the project-specific level to minimize the risk of inadvertent or unmitigated
direct impacts being authorized through adoption of this General Plan Amendment EIS/EIR.
Indirect Impacts
CEQA guidelines define an "indirect impact or secondary effect" as "effects which are caused by the
project and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable" that
can produce a temporary or permanent biologically significant, "physical change" in the environment
(California Resources Agency 2001, 815358).
Vegetation Communitv Permanent, Indirect Impacts
Proposed planning actions would result in the permanent loss of habitat due to future development.
In addition, proposed planning actions have the potential to produce deleterious edge effects that
could adversely mo.dify native vegetation located adjacent to development areas. For example, turf
and landscape irrigation could alter the localized natural moisture regime of the vegetation, thus
increasing weedy vegetation and adjacent plant susceptibility to disease, pests, or fungus, and
modifying the composition of native habitats. Increased urban runoff and pollution risks from the
use of fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides in maintaining turf and landscaping could
adversely affect water quality, flora, and fauna, as well as increase the source material for exotic
plant invasions. And human intrusion into habitats and the associated degradation of habitat through

trampling could foster an increase in weedy, non-native plant species. Table 7 summarizes the
potential permanent, indirect impacts to vegetation communities within the Planning Area.

Significance of Impacts
Proposed planning actions resulting in impacts to Coastal Sage Scrub, Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage
Scrub, Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest, Coast Live Oak Woodland, and Open
Water/Reservoir/Pond would be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP,and would
require that mitigation measures reduce impacts to a level below significant. Impacts to Chaparral
would be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSCHP if the habitat were located within a
MSHCP conservation, core or linkage area (e.g. Pauba Valley and Temecula Valley Regions), or
were determined to support federally or state listed, endangered or. threatened species, MSHCP
narrow endemic species, or a critical population of a sensitivity species. Impacts to Non-Native
Grassland and Agricultural Land would be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP if the
habitat were determined40 provide high wildlife value for raptor wintering and foraging, or support
federally or state listed, endangered or threatened species. Impacts to designated critical habitat (e.g.
French Valley Region) would be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP if the proposed
activity involved a federal nexus, requiring a Federal permit or funding. Impacts to
Residential/UrbanlExotic Land would not be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures I through 8 would provide for further environmental.review

and acquisition of applicable permits from regulating agencies at the site-specific level to minimize
the risk of permanent, indirect impacts to sensitive habitats.
MSHCP Conservation Area Permanent, Indirect Impacts
Portions of MSCHP Conservation Areas within the French Valley Region (Subunit 5), Pauba Valley
Region (Subunit 2), and Temecula Valley Region (Subunits I and 6) would incur permanent, indirect
impacts from development-associated increases in the amount of fragmented habitat, artificial night
illumination, and human intrusion into natural habitats. These edge effects alter the value of the area
for wildlife, by causing an increase in susceptibility to depredation, brood parasitism, and
competition for nesting areas from non-native species. The introduction of artificial night lighting
could produce physiological and behavioral alterations in resident wildlife located adjacent to the
development areas by artificially increasing depredation rates on vulnerable species (Buchanan 1993;
Frank 1998; Rydell and Baagoe 1996). Increases in human intrusion into natural habitats could
result in associated degradation of wildlife habitat and a decrease in reptile, passerine and small
mammal abundance due to meso-predator release (Crooks and Soule 2000). These permanent,
indirect impacts to MSHCP Conservation Areas would be considered biologically significant per
CEQA and the MSHCP, and would require that mitigation measures reduce impacts to a level below
significant. Implementation of Mitigation Measures I through 3, and 9 would provide for further
environmental review at the site-specific level to ensure compliance with MSHCP reserve and buffer
design requirements and land use adjacency guidelines.

Sensitive Species Permanent, Indirect Impacts
I
I
I
Proposed planning actions have the potential to result in permanent, indirect impacts to sensitive
fiora and fauna species present within the Planning Area. Development and
transportation/infrastructure modification could result in permanent, indirect impacts to habitat areas
consisting of sensitive plants, eggs and larvae of sensitive butterflies, upland vegetation for sensitive
amphibians, and nest-eggs of sensitive birds. Impacts to fed~rally and state listed, endangered and
threatened species and MSCHP narrow endemic species, including Munz's Onion, San Diego
Ambrosia, Nevin's Barberry, Vail Lake Ceanothus, Slender-horned Spinefiower, San Diego Button-
celery, Spreading Navarretia, Calfiornia Orcutt Grass, San Miguel Savory, Quino Checkerspot
Butterfiy, Arroyo Toad, Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Ammerican Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle,
Coastal Calfiornia Gnatcatcher, Least Bell's Vireo, and Stephens' Kangaroo Rat would be
biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP,. and would require that mitigation measures
reduce impacts to a level below significant. Impacts to lower sensitivity species would be
biologically significant per CEQAand the MSHCP if it were determined that the proposed activity
would substantially reduce the species' population stability or not meet MSHCP conditions of
coverage. Implementation of Mitigation Measures I through 3, 10 and 11 would provide reasonable
avenues for completion of further environmental review at the site-specific level to provide adequate
protection of sensitive species.

construction activities occurring within a close proximity to potential nesting habitat for sensitive
species could adversely affect wildlife during the breeding season by causing them to abandon their
nests, thus increasing the potential for eggs or nestlings to be lost to predators or environmental
exposure and reducing the reproductive potential of individuals through significant disruption in
breeding behavior. Potential temporary, indirect impacts to MSHCP Conservation Areas and/or
sensitive species would be biologically significant per CEQA and the MSHCP, and would require
that mitigation measures reduce impacts to a level below significant. Implementation of Mitigation
Measures I through 3 and 9 through II would provide for further environmental review at the site-
specific level to ensure compliance with MSHCP reserve and buffer design requirements and land
use adjacency guidelines, and to provide adequate protection of sensitive species.
Cumulative Impacts
CEQA guidelines define "cumulative impacts or effects" as "two or more individual effects which,
when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental
impacts (Cal ifornia Resources Agency 2001, (15355)."
The MSHCP has been designed to compensate for the loss of biological resources throughout
western Riverside County, and cumulative impacts to existing biological resources resulting through
increased future development have been addressed in the MSHCP Final EIRJEIS dated June 17,
2003. Therefore, this General Plan Amendment EIS/EIR, as well as future development projects
within the Temecula Planning Area that conform to the MSHCP would not result in cumulatively
considerable impacts for those biological resources adequately covered by the MSHCP.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures I through 12 would provide for further environmental
review to ensure conformance with the MSHCP and future City of Temecula implementing
plans/ordinances at the project-specific level.
Mitigation Measures
The following measures have been developed to provide assurances, at the General Plan EIS/EIR tier
level, that potential significant biological impacts associated with the proposed project will be
mitigated. In some instances, this assurance is obtained by incorporation of planning policies at the
General Plan level, with subsequent verification to occur at lower tiers of environmental review. In
other instances, specific mitigation measures are incorporated to reduce impacts at the site-specific
level. Finally, in some instances, it is not possible at the General Plan level to determine if biological
impacts would occur from implementation of proposed planning actions; for these situations,
mitigation measures provide for further review of the concerns at the plan or project-specific level. It
is intended that increased planning detail developed through subsequent EIS/EIR and Mitigated
Negative Declaration documents submitted for approval, will identify site-specific impacts .and
mitigation measures. Therefore; the following measures are not intended to restrict the identification
of significant biological impacts, or the development of. appropriate mitigation measures as
determined through analysis at a lower tier of environmental review.
I) Planning policies shall include a requirement to make use of project designs, engineering, and
construction practices that minimize impacts to sensitive habitats, MSHCP Conservation Areas,
and sensiti ve species.

2) Further environmental review shall be conducted in accordance with appropriate NEPAICEQA
documentation requirements where specific actions would result in impacts to sensitive habitats,
MSHCP Conservation Areas, and/or sensitive species. These reviews shall be conducted at the
earliest possible period of tiered project review to ensure the most flexibility in planning and
project design, and resolve conflicts with significant biological resources.
3) Prior to the implementation of any projects within areas under the jurisdiction of federal, state, or
local biological resource regulatory agencies, the project applicant for the specific work shall
obtain any and all applicable resource agency permits which may include, but are not limited to,
Clean Water Act 0404 and 0401 permits, USFWS Habitat Loss Permit pursuant to 04(d) of the
Endangered Species Act, and California Fish and Game Code 81601 and 81603 streambed
alteration agreements.
4) Impacts to Coastal Sage Scrub and Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub shall be minimized and
mitigated consistent with the MSHCP and future mitigation ratios established by the City of
Temecula. Since mitigation ratios have not currently been established by the City of Temecula, it
is recommended that impacts be mitigated as follows: for impacts located inside of the MSHCP
Conservation Area, a I: I out-of-kind mitigation ratio if preserved inside of the MSHCP
Conservation Area or a 2: I in-kind mitigation ratio if preserved outside of the MSHCP
Conservation area; for impacts located outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a I: I out-of-
kind mitigation ratio if preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a J .5: I in-kind
mitigation ratio if preserved outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area. Mitigation should be
completed through I) on-site preservation; 2) off-site acquisition of mitigation land located
within the City of Temecula and preferably inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area; or 3)
habitat restoration (degraded sage scrub vegetation only) that increases the habitat quality and
biological function of the site.
5) Significant impacts to Chaparral shall be minimized and mitigated consistent with the MSHCP
and future mitigation ratios established by the City of Temecula. Since mitigation ratios have not
currently been established by the City of Temecula, it is recommended that impacts be mitigated
as follows: for impacts located inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a I: I out-of-kind
mitigation ratio if preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a 1.5: I in-kind
mitigation ratio of preserved outside of the MSHCP Conservation' area; for impacts located
outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a 0.5: I out-of-kind mitigation ratio if preserved inside
of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a I: I in-kind mitigation ratio if preserved outside ofthe
MSHCP Conservation Area. Mitigation should be completed through 1) on-site preservation; or
2) off-site acquisition of mitigation land located within the City. of Temecula and preferably
. inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area;
6) Significant impacts to Non-Native Grassland shall be minimized and mitigated consistent with
the MSHCP and future mitigation ratios established by the City of Temecula. Since mitigation
ratios have not currently been established by the City of Temecula, it is recommended that
impacts be mitigated- as follows: for impacts located inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a
I: I out-of-kind mitigation ratio if preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a 1.5:1
in-kind mitigation ratio of preserved outside of the MSHCP Conservation area; for impacts
located outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a 0.5: I out-of-kind mitigation ratio if
preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a 1: I in-kind mitigation ratio if preserved
outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area. Mitigation should be completed through 1) on-site

preservation; or 2) off-site acquisition of mitigation land located within the City of Temecula and
preferably inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area.
7) Impacts to Riparian Scrub, Woodland, and Forest and Water shall be avoided to the maximum
extent possible. Unavoidable impacts shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable, and
be mitigated consistent with the MSHCP and future mitigation ratios established by the City of
Temecula. Since mitigation ratios have not currently been established by the City of Temecula, it
is recommended that impacts be mitigated, consistent with expected federal and state permitting
agency requirements, at a minimum 2: I in-kind ratio through I) wetland creation in an upland
area; 2) wetland restoration that re-establishes the habitat functions of a former wetland; or 3)
wetland enhancement that improves the self-sustaining habitat functions of an existing wetland.
Mitigation shall achieve a "no-net loss" of wetland function and values.
8) Impacts to Coast Live Oak Woodland shall be avoided to the maximum extent possible.
Unavoidable impacts shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable and be mitigated
consistent with the MSHCP, as well as future mitigation ratios and oak tree management
guidelines established by the City of Temecula. Since mitigation ratios have not currently been
established by the City of Temecula, it is recommended that impacts be mitigated as follows: for
impacts located inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area, a 2: I in-kind mitigation ratio if
preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation Area or a 3: 1 in-kind mitigation ratio of preserved
outside of the MSHCP Conservation area; for impacts located outside of the MSHCP
Conservation Area, a I: 1 in-kind mitigation ratio if preserved inside of the MSHCP Conservation
Area or a 2: I in,kind mitigation ratio if preserved outside of the MSHCP Conservation Area.
Mitigation should be completed through I) on-site preservation, or 2) off-site acquisition of
mitigation land located within the City of Temecula and preferably inside of the MSHCP
Conservation Area. In addition, the following guidelines are recommended and adapted from the
Riverside County Oak Tree Management Guidclines:
. Construction and development activities should be avoided within the root zone (e.g.
encompassing an area one-third larger than the drip line [Johnson 1995]) of an oak tree;
. Landscaping, trenching, or irrigation systems should be avoided within the root zone;
. Land uses that would cause excessive soil compaction within the root zone should be
avoided;
. Manufactured slopes should not be located in the root zone;
. Redirection of surface moisture which alters the soil moisture within the root zone for an
extended period should be avoided;
. Filling around- the bases of oak trees should be avoided through sedimentation and siltation
control;
. Dead and dying oak trees should be retained in place unless determined to pose a health or
safety hazard;
. Relocation of trees should not constitute mitigation;
. Oak _ protection should be oriented toward protection of the life cycle of oak trees and
woodland.
9) Development-associated impacts to MSHCP Conservation Areas shall be reviewed for
consistency with the MSHCP reserve and buffer development requirements, and comply with the
following MSHCP UrbanfWildlife Interface Guidelines (Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP Plan,

. "Drainage: Proposed developments in proximity to the MSHCP Conservation Area shall
incorporate measures, including measures required through the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, to ensure that the quantity and quality of runoff
discharged to the MSHCP Conservation Area is not altered in an adverse way when
compared with existing conditions. In particular, measures shall be put in place to avoid
discharge of untreated surface runoff from developed and paved areas into the MSHCP
Conservation Area. Storm water systems shall be designed to prevent the release of toxins,
chemicals, petroleum products, exotic plant materials or other elements that might degrade or
harm biological resources or ecosystem processes within the MSHCP Conservation Area.
This can be accomplished using a variety of methods including natural detention basins, grass
swales or mechanical trapping devices. Regular maintenance shall occur to ensure effective
operations of runoff control systems."
. "Toxics: Land uses proposed in proximity to the MSHCP Conservation Area that use
chemicals or generate bioproducts such as manure that are potentially toxic or may adversely
affect wildlife species, habitat, or water quality shall incorporate measures to ensure that
application of such chemicals does not result in discharge to the MSHCP Conservation Area.
Measures such as those employed to address drainage issues shall be implemented."
. "Lighting: Night lighting shall be directed away from the MSHCP Conservation Area to
protect species within the MSHCP Conservation Area from direct night lighting. Shielding
shall be incorporated in project designs to ensure ambient lighting in the MSHCP
Conservation Area is not increased."
. "Noise: Proposed noise generating land uses affecting the MSHCP Conservation Area shall
incorporate setbacks, berms, or walls to minimize the effects of noise on MSHCP
Conservation Area resources pursuant to applicable rules, regulations, and guidelines related
to land use noise standards. For planning purposes, wildlife within the MSHCP Conservation
Area should not be subject to noise that would exceed residential noise standards."
. "Invasives: When approving landscape plans for development that is proposed adjacent to the
MSHCP Conservation Area, permittees shall consider the invasive, non-native plant species
listed in Table 6-2 of the MSHCP and shall require revisions to .landscape plans (subject to
the limitations of their jurisdiction) to avoid the use of invasive species for the portions of
development that are adjacent to the MSHCP Conservation Area. Considerations in
reviewing the applicability of this list shall include proximity of planting areas to the MSHCP
Conservation Areas, species considered in the planting plans, resources being protected
within the MSHCP Conservation Area and their relative sensitivity to invasion, and barriers
to plant and seed dispersal, such as walls, topography and other features."
. "Barriers: Proposed land uses adjacent to the MSHCP Conservation Area shall incorporate
barriers, where appropriate in individual project designs to minimize unauthorized public
access, domestic animal predation, illegal trespass, or dumping in the MSHCP Conservation
Area. Such barriers may include native landscaping, rocks/boulders, fencing, walls,.signage
and/or other appropriate mechanisms."
. "Grading/Land Development: Manufactured slopes associated with proposed site
development shall not extend into the MSHCP Conservation Area."
10) Where potential impacts to federally and state listed, endangered and threatened species, MSHCP
narrow.endemic species, and/or critical populations of sensitivity species occur as a result of
proposed planning actions, the City of Temecula shall coordinate with responsible listing
agencies (USFWS and/or CDFG) as early as possible and in conjunction with, or prior to, the
CEQA process for actions which may affect those species. Specific actions necessary to protect

I I) Project actions rcsulting in potential impacts to nesting migratory birds (as defined under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act) shall require work corridor surveys to identify active nests. Active
nests shall be avoidcd if practical, and if nccessary, seasonal timing constraints for any riparian
habitat clearing and a MBTA Special Purpose Permit (50 CFR 021.27) shall be required prior to
removal of acti ve nests of MET A covered specics.
12) All future specific project actions undertaken shall be reviewed for consistency with the MSHCP
and City of Temccula implementing plans/ordinances.
Impact Significance after Mitigation
With implementation of the aforementioned mitigation measures, biological impacts associated with
the proposed project are expected to bc mitigated to a Icvcl below significant at thc General Plan
EIS/EIR tier level. However, specific actions at lower tiers of environmental review may be
determined to result in significant biological impacts requiring further mitigation.

This report presents the results of a traffic study carried out for the City of Temecula General
Plan Update. It provides the technical background material for the Circulation Element update and
accompanying EIR.
I
BACKGROUND
I
This Circulation Element Traffic Study analyzes the circulation system needs associated with the
Land Use Element of the City's General Plan. It describes the methodology and technical analysis results
pertaining to the arterial highway component of the Circulation Element update, and thereby provides a
resource document for the update and the accompanying ElR.
I
I
I
The area addressed in this traffic study includes the City and its sphere of influence. In the
General Plan update it is referred to as the "Planning Area" and in this traffic study it is referred to as the
Planning Area or the "Study Area." It is the area within which a detailed traffic analysis has been carried
out and recommendations made with respect to a long-range transportation plan. One of the primary
goals of the roadway system recommendations presented here is to ensure that land use and circulation as
portrayed in their respective General Plan Elements are in "balance."

To derive traffic forecasts for this analysis, use has been made of the City of Temecula Traffic
Model (TTM). This traffic model covers a large portion of western Riverside County with particular
focus on the City of Temecula. It produces average daily traffic (ADT) forecasts for the roadway system
and peak hour forecasts for major intersections and for freeway ramps. Land use data from the updated
Land Use Element has been used as the basis for the traffic forecasts, thereby showing future needs in
relation to future land use projections.
I
I
I
Detailed information on the traffic forecasting procedures can be found in the traffic model report
(Reference I at the end of this chapter). Additionally, the traffic model technical notebook (Reference 2
at the end of this chapter) provides information on the land use and trip generation inputs for the traffic
forecasting process.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
To evaluate the Circulation Element roadway system in relation to the Land Use Element, use is
made of performance criteria. These criteria include "performance standards" and "thresholds of
significance" the latter being used for identifying project impacts in an EIR context. The performance
standards form part of the City Policy (e.g, in the Circulation Element) and represent desired operating
conditions for the City's roadway system. For the Circulation Element to be in "balance" with the Land
Use Element, the circulation system must achieve such criteria.
I
I
I
I
The performance criteria used here are based on two primary measures. The first is "capacity"
which establishes the vehicle carrying ability of a roadway and the second is "volume." The volume
measure is either a traffic count (in the case of existing volumes) or a forecast for a future point in time.
The ratio between the volume and the capacity gives a volume/capacity (VIe) ratio and based on that VlC
ratio, a corresponding level of service (LOS) is defined. The end of this chapter contains level of service
descriptions for arterial roadways and freeways as contained in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual
(HCM 2000) which is the primary source for capacity analysis guidelines (see Reference 3 at the end of
this chapter).
I
I
I
I
For use in this traffic study, performance criteria are defined for arterial streets and for freeway
ramps. Peak hour data (AM and PM) is used in both cases to establish VIC and LOS measures. The
following sections outline the criteria for each.
I
Arterial Streets
I
For the arterial street system, peak hour volumes are used for roadway performance evaluation
and a number of techniques are available to establish suitable VIC ratios and defme the corresponding
LOS's. Those defined here are considered appropriate for planning level analyses (rather than detailed
traffic operations analyses).
I
I
The analysis of the arterial road system is based on intersection capacity since this is the defining
capacity limitation on an arterial highway system. Levels of service for arterial roadway intersections are
determined based on operating conditions during the AM and PM peak hours. The intersection capacity
utilization (ICU) methodology is applied using peak hour volumes and the geometric configuration of the

intersection. This methodology sums the V/C ratios for the critical movements of an intersection and is
generally compatible with the intersection capacity analysis methodology outlined in the HCM 2000.
I
The ICU calculation methodology and associated impact criteria used for the study area arterial
system are summarized in Table I-I. The saturation flow rate and clearance interval parameters used
here are representative values for plarming purposes.
I
I
Freeway Ramps
I
Similar to the arterial system evaluation, the peak hour is also the accepted time period used for
capacity evaluation of freeway interchange ramps. For this study, levels of service for freeway ramps
within the traffic analysis study area are based on AM and PM peak hour V/C ratios. Carrying capacities
for the various ramp configurations on the freeway system within the traffic analysis study area are based
on information contained in the July 1995 Caltrans Highway Design Manual and the January 2000
Caltrans Ramp Meter Design Manual.
I
I
I
The capacities for calculating ramp V/C ratios are summarized in Table 1-2 together with the
overall impact criteria for freeway ramps within the study area. The LOS "E" performance standard listed
in the table is typically used by Caltrans as the operating standard for freeway ramps.

LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRJPTIONS - URBAN STREETS
I
The average travel speed along an urban street is the determinant of the operating level of service (LOS). The
travel speed along a segment, section, or entire length of an urban street is dependent on the running speed between
signalized intersections and the amount of control delay incurred at signalized intersections. The following general
statements characterize WS along urban streets and show the relationship to free flow speeds (FFS)
LOS
DESCRIPTION
I
PERCENT
OF FFS
I
90
A
WS A describes primarily free-flow operations at average travel speeds, usually about 90 percent
of the FFS for the given street class. V chicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to
maneuver within the traffic stream. Control delay at signalized intersections is normal.
B
LOS B describes reasonably unimpeded operations at average travel speeds, usually about 70
percent of the FFS for the street class. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to
maneuver with the traffic stream. Control delay at signalized intersections is minimal.
C
LOS C describes stable operations; however, ability to maneuver and change lanes in midblock
locations may be more restricted that at LOS B, and longer queues, adverse signal coordination, or
both may contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50 percent of the FFS for the street
class.
D
LOS D borders on a range in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in delay
and decreases in travel speed. LOS D may be due to adverse signal progression, inappropriate
signal timing, high volumes, or a combination of these factors. Average travel speeds are about 40
percent of FFS
E
LOS E is characterized by significant delays and average travel speeds of 33 percent or less of the
FFS. Such operations are caused by a combination of adverse progression, high signal density, high
volumes, extensive delays at critical intersections, and inappropriate signal timing.
F
LOS F is characterized by urban street flow at extremely low speeds, typically one-third to one-
fourth of the FFS. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locations, with high delays,
high volumes, and extensive queuing.

LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS - SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
Levels of service (LOS) for signalized intersections are defined in terms of control delay as follows:
LOS
DESCRIPTION
DELAY PER
VEHICLE (sees)
I
<10
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
A
LOS A describes operations with low control delay, up to 10 seconds per vehicle. This LOS
occurs when progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive durjng the green phase.
Many vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may tend to contribute to low delay values.
B
LOS B describes operations with control delay greater than 10 and up to 20 seconds per vehicle.
This level generally occurs with good progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles
stop than the LOS A, causing higher levels of delay.
C
illS C describes operations with control delay greater than 20 and up to 35 seconds per vehicle.
These higher delays may result from only fair progression, longer cycle lengths, or both.
Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. Cyele failure occurs when a given
green phase does not serve queued vehicles, and overflows occur. The number of vehicles
stopping is significant at this level, though many still pass through the intersection without
stopping.
D
WS D describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to 55 seconds per vehicle.
At LOS D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from
some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, and high VIC ratios. Many
vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are
noticeable.
E
LOS E describes operations with control delay greater than 55 and up to 80 seconds per vehicle.
These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high VIC
ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent.
F
WS F describes operations with control delay in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. This level,
considered unacceptable to most drivers, often occurs with oversaturation, that is, when arrival
flow rates exceed the capacity of lane groups. It may also occur at high V IC ratios with many
individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also contribute
significantly to high delay levels.

TRANSPORTATION SETTING
I
I
This chapter discusses the transportation setting for the City of Temecula roadway system.
Existing conditions are described including traffic volumes on the City's street system and peak hour
volumes and levels of service for the key intersections within the City and freeway interchanges serving
the City. Information on future land use and the increase in study area trip generation is also given and
discussed in relation to its growth implications.
I
I
DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUMES
I
I
Figure 2-1 shows the existing (2002) average daily traffic (ADT) volumes on the City's roadway
system. The traffic flow patterns are oriented to regional components of the roadway system, which
include Interstate 15 (I-IS) and State Route 79 (SR-79). The 1-15 Freeway traverses the western portion
of the City, while SR-79 passes through the study area in two separate north and south arterial highway
segments with I-IS serving as a link between the two. Volumes on the northern segment (Winchester
Road) reach 62,000 ADT near the freeway and on the southern segment reach 47,000 near the freeway.
Freeway interchanges serving the City are located at Winchester Road (SR-79 north), Rancho California
Road, and SR-79 south. Overland Road and Santiago Road provide local crossings of the freeway,
carrying 16,000 ADT and 5,000 ADT, respectively. Other roadways carrying relatively high traffic
volumes are Rancho California Road (58,000 ADT near the freeway) and Ynez Road (36,000 acljacent to
the mall and surrounding commercial area).

EXISTING LEVELS OF SERVICE
I
As discussed in the performance criteria section of Chapter 1.0, level of service (LOS) is defined
according to peak hour intersection performance using intersection capacity utilization (ICU) values.
Figure 2-2 shows the intersections included in this evaluation and Table 2-1 lists the current ICUs and
corresponding LOS values. As can be seen here, three locations do not meet the performance standard of
LOS "0" or better, Nicolas and Winchester, Jefferson and Winchester, and Old Town Front Street and
Rancho California.

It should be noted that the ICU values are calculated on the assumption of ideal operating
conditions. Short roadway sections, which cause vehicle queues to block adjacent intersections or
inadequate turn pockets, can prevent ideal conditions from occurring. Examples are Winchester Road on
both sides of the 1-15 Freeway interchange and Rancho California Road on both sides of the freeway
interchange.
I
I
I
The City has a continuing program to monitor traffic and implement improvements to maiotaio
adequate levels of service. Deficiencies identified here are beiog addressed in this process, and
improvements will be made as part of this Citywide program.
I
Table 2-2 summarizes the existing peak hour freeway ramp volumes and VIC values. Several
deficiencies are noted here, one at each of the three interchanges. Some discussion ofthese is given in the
special issues section at the end of Chapter 4.0.

FUTURE TRAFFIC GROWTH
I
Existing and future land use data for the planning area (see map io Figure 2-3) was prepared as
part of the General Plan Land Use Element update process. Additional ioforrnation for the surrounding
area was then obtained from sources such as the City of Murrieta and countywide demographic data
projections. This land use data formed the basis for prepariog the future traffic volumes used in this
traffic study.
I
I
I
The amount of traffic generated by a certaio type of land use is estimated by applying a
representative trip generation rate to the amount of land use in the area under consideration. The
Temecula Traffic Model (TTM) uses a set of such trip generation rates to calculate both peak hour and
ADT trips by land use. These rates are presented in the model description report (see Reference I at the
end of Chapter 1.0).
I
I
For traffic forecasting purposes, land use is specified geographically accordiog to a set of traffic
zones. Application of the trip generation rates to the land use in each zone then results in zonal estimates
of daily and peak hour trips. Detailed information on land use and trip generation data can be found in
the TIM Technical Notebook (see Reference 2 at the end of Chapter 1.0).

Table 2-3 summarizes the existing and future land uses and trip generation for the planning area
by four land use categories: residential, commercial, office/industrial, and other (primarily schools and
institutional uses). Today, the total ADT trip generation for the planning area is close to 730,000 vehicle
trips per day. Approximately 39 percent of this is attributed to residential land uses, and the remaining 61
percent to non-residential uses, primarily office and commercial.
I
I
Buildout of the City's General Plan will translate to a total trip generation of just under 1,430,000
vehicle trips per day, an increase of 96 percent over existing. Approximately 33 percent of the projected
vehicle trips will be attributed to residential land uses, and the remaining 67 percent to non-residential
uses. These proportions are similar to existing, indicating a comparable growth in residential and non-
residential land uses. In Chapter 4.0, these land use projections are converted to future traffic volumes on
the roadway system.

Chapter 3.0
PROPOSED HIGHW A Y PLAN
I
I
This chapter describes the proposed highway component of the Circulation Element. Referred to
as the "Arterial Highway Plan" or simply the "Highway Plan," it defines the future street system for the
Temecula Planning Area.
ROADWAY CLASSIFICA nONS
I
The highway plan is defined using a hierarchy of arterial roadway classifications. Each is
described by size and function, and has specific physical dimensions. The Plan establishes eight
classifications of arterial roadways, ranging from eight-lane divided roadways to two-lane undivided
roadways. These classifications are listed in Table 3-1 and representative cross-sections are illustrated in
Figure 3-1, except for the Modified Secondary arterial, as the dimensions are similar to those of the
Secondary arterial. The following are brief descriptions of each classification.
I,
v'
I
I
Urban Arterial
I
Urban arterials are eight-lane roadways with raised landscaped medians. Access may vary
depending on where the facility is located, but is typically limited to adjacent commercial properties at
signal-controlled intersections. Curbside parking is prohibited. Traffic carrying capacities of 70,000+
vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of access control, peak period traffic loadings,
and lane configurations at the major intersections.
I
I
I
I
I
I
Principal Arterial
Principal arterials are six-lane roadways with raised landscaped medians. Unsignalized minor
street and driveway access may be allowed but signalized access is preferred, and left-turn restrictions are
typically placed at unsignalized access locations. Curbside parking is prohibited. Traffic carrying
capacities of 54,00lti vehicles per can be achieved depending on the degree of access control, the peak
period loadings, and the configurations of the major intersections.

I
I
Major Arterial
I
Major arterials are four-lane roadways with raised landscaped medians. Left tnrn restrictions will
generally be placed at minor unsignalized driveways. As a primary traffic carrier, curbside parking may
not be appropriate along some of the more heavily traveled major arterial street segments within the City.
Traffic carrying capacities of 36,000", vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of access
control and peak period loadings.
I
I
Secondary Arterial
I
Secondary arterial are four-lane roadways without medians (undivided). Direct access from
private residential properties should be avoided where possible unless medians can be provided at such
access points. While the secondary roadway provides for curbside parking, such parking should be
prohibited near intersections where left tnrn lane striping is provided. Traffic carrying capacities of
30,OOOct vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of access allowed and peak period
traffic loadings.
I
I
I
Modified Secondary Arterial
I
Along DePortola Road between Santiago and Margarita Roads, a Modified Secondary Arterial
cross-section is shown on the Circulation Element. The modified secondary arterial featnres four
separated lanes. This roadway classification is intended to help preserve the rural character of the area,
while accommodating local circulation needs.
I
Limited Secondary Arterial
I
I
A Limited Secondary Arterial features two lanes with a median within a similar right-of-way to
the four-lane Secondary Arterial. The reduced cross-section anticipates one lane in each direction, with
the potential to add a left turn pocket, and separated trail. This designation is used on Secondary Arterial
roadways that feature a more rural appearance and have lower traffic volumes. Traffic carrying capacity is
around 20,000I vehicles per day.

I
Collector
I
Collectors are two lane roadways with painted medians for two-way left turn movements. The
right-of-way width for collectors varies from 66 feet to 78 feet, depending on location. The 78-foot cross
sections are typically applied to collectors located within industrial areas, whereas a smaller dimension
may be appropriate for residential areas. Collectors provide for curbside parking, but parking should be
restricted near intersection approaches where a separate right-turn lane is provided Traffic carrying
capacities of l6,00iBo vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of access control and
peak period traffic loadings.
I
I
I
Rural Highway
I,
I
The rural highway classification is applied to roads within Rural Preservation Areas (RP As)
identified in the Land Use Element. Surrounding areas are primarily designated as vineyards/agriculture,
hillside, rural, very low, or low density residential in the General Plan.
I
I
I;
Rural highways feature two or four lanes within a right-of-way of 88 to 110 feet. For safety
reasons, left turn lanes should be provided at major access points (such as intersections) and the curb-to-
curb width allows this to occur without the need for additional pavement width. Bike lanes can be located
along only one side of the roadway to form a continuous system along each street, when needed. The
carrying capacity of rural highways is approximately 10,000 - 20,000 vehicles per day, this relatively
high capacity being achieved because of few signalized intersections and minimum side friction.
I
Most rural highways will initially be constructed to two lanes, and the intent of the rural highway
classification is to preserve sufficient right-of-way for construction of additional lanes, either as future
secondary, major or principal arterials, or as four lane highways having a rural character.
I,
I
I
Local Street
I
Local streets are two-lane roadways without medians. Centerline striping is typically not
provided, and curbside parking is allowed. While the traffic carrying capacity is similar to a collector
roadway, the qualitative limit of acceptable traffic volumes in a residential environment is substantially
lower (less than 5,000 vehicles per day). Local streets are not shown on the Circulation Plan.

I
ROADWAY DIMENSIONS
I
I
The roadway sections shown earlier represent the desirable standards, but variations in right-of-
way width and specific roadway improvements will occur in certain cases due to physical constraints
and/or right-of-way limitations. In some situations, additional right-of-way may be required for bikeways
and trails.
I
I
The roadway classifications may deviate from the standards where physical constraints exist,
where preservation of community character dictates special treatment, or on approaches to Principal
Intersections (discussed below). Bikeways and sidewalks also affect the specific standards applied to
various roadways. However, the overriding circulation goal is that all roadways carry the designed
volumes of traffic at desired performance levels. In addition, the median width of major and secondary
roadways will vary according to the area being served, right-of-way constraints and turn lane
requirements.
I
I
Intersection Dimensions
I
I
The standard cross-sections presented here show midblock dimensions. Right-of-way needs at
intersections are typically greater than for midblock, and Table 3-2 shows the intended guidelines for the
number of intersection lanes:
I
I
I
In most cases the right-of-way shown on the midblock cross-section will be adequate to
accommodate the through and left turn lanes shown here. Right turn lanes will typically require some
additional right-of-way on one side (the entering side of the intersection). The additional right-of-way
should be a minimum of six feet and ideally 10 feet and should extend for at least 250 feet back from the
intersection curb face.
I
PRINCIPAL INTERSECTIONS
I
I
The General Plan Circulation Element refers to a set of Principal Intersections. These generally
determine the overall performance of the City's roadway system, and are thereby considered to have
strategic importance within the overall Highway Plan. The intent is that these intersections be regularly
monitored and that priority be given to them in implementing roadway improvements. A set of Principal
Intersections are identified here, but changes to this initial set may occur over time, and such changes are

PROPOSED HIGHWAY PLAN
.'
Figure 3-2 shows the proposed arterial highway component of the Circulation Element (the
Highway Plan). Illustrated here by color and by line width is the complete arterial classification system
for the Temecula Planning Area. New roadways featured on this plan can be seen from Figure 3-3, and a
listing of all new roadways and roadway widenings required to implement this plan can be found in the
next chapter. Some key features of the proposed Highway Plan are as follows:
I
I
I
Urban Arterials. Three roadway sections are classifled as eight-lane urban arterials, these being
Winchester Road from Hunter Road to Jefferson Road, Rancho California Road north and south of the l-
IS Freeway, and SR-79 South from Pechanga Parkway to the I-IS Freeway. These classiflcations are in
response to the high forecast volumes on these roadways as they approach the freeway.
I:
I
River/Freeway Crossings. The plan features two new Murrieta Creek crossings, Overland Drive
and Rancho Way. The latter will also extend over Jefferson Avenue and the freeway to intersect with
Ynez Road and then further extend to Margarita Road.
I
Eastern Bypass. It is proposed that Anza Road be classifled as a Rural Highway and provide a
continuous eastern bypass from Auld Road in the northern part of the Planning Area to the new I-IS
southerly interchange.
I
,I
I
I
I
New Freeway Interchanges. Two new I-IS interchanges are included in the proposed Highway
Plan. At the northern end of the City, the French Valley Parkway interchange has already undergone
preliminary studies with Caltrans. It will form the freeway connection for a new north-south roadway
extending from Murrieta Hot Springs Road to Diaz Road At the south end of the City, a new interchange
is proposed near where the southerly boundary of the City crosses I-IS. It will have a new roadway from
that interchange to Rainbow Canyon Road and a further eastward extension from Rainbow Canyon Road
to Pechanga Parkway, connecting as the south leg of the Anza Road intersection.
I
Western Bypass Corridor. This roadway will connect from the new French Valley Parkway
southerly termination point at Diaz Road to Old Town Front Road around the southwestern periphery of

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
I
I
This chapter presents long-range traffic data for the proposed highway plan. Future levels of
service findings are discussed and the improvements needed to implement the plan are summarized.
Special issues with respect to the plan are also discussed.
I
LONG-RANGE TRAFFIC VOLUMES
I
I
Future daily and peak hour traffic volumes on the analysis area circulation system were estimated
for the General Plan land uses using traffic forecasts produced by the Temecula Traffic Model (TTM).
They were derived for the roadway system described in the previous chapter, with intersection lanes for
the Principal Intersections being specified so as to provide adequate capacity for the forecast demand.
I
I
Long-range ADT volumes for this highway plan are shown in Figure 4-1. They are labeled here
as 2025 and represent buildout land uses for the planning area and 2025 land use projections in the
surrounding area. A comparison with the 2003 volumes presented in Chapter 2.0 shows the effect of the
increase in traffic associated with buildout of the General Plan Land Use Element (see discussion at end
of Chapter 2.0). For example, total east-west volumes just east of the freeway compare as follows:

With growth north and east of the City, the role of Butterfield Stage and Anza Road as north-
south bypass routes can be clearly seen from these future ADT volumes. Butterfield Stage has volumes
that are within the capacity of the proposed Major Arterial classification, and likewise, Anza Road has
adequate capacity as a Rural Highway.
I
I
The corresponding 2025 AM and PM peak hour ICU values for the Principal Intersection are
summarized in Table 4- I (Figure 4-2 shows the locations of these intersections). All intersections operate
at the desired level of service standard ("D" or better) with the proposed improvements with four
exceptions. The following intersections will remain deficient even with the proposed improvements.

I
I

10. Ynez & Solana

15. Ynez & Rancho California
I
Under the proposed land use and circulation plan, those intersections will require improvements
beyond those identified here. They should be monitored over time and future traffic studies carried out to
analyze the type of improvements needed.
I
I
Table 4-2 shows the corresponding peak hour information for the freeway interchange ramps, and
shows a number of locations with deficiencies. These will also need to be monitored over time and
improvements made in conjunction with the corresponding intersection improvements (see discussion
later in this chapter).
I
I
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
I
Roadway improvements in the form of new roadways, roadway widening, and intersection
enhancements will be needed to build out the proposed Highway Plan. Table 4-3 summarizes the new
roadways plus the arterial widenings, and Table 4-4 identifies potential intersection improvements for the
principal intersections. These improvements are intended only as a guide at this time, and actual
improvements, particularly those at intersections, will be established at the time that engineering design
work is carried out.

SPECIAL ISSUES
I
There are a number of special issues with respect to the findings and recommendations presented
in this report. These are discussed here to provide background information and pertinent findings in
relation to the Circulation Element.
I
Freeway Performance
I
While the traffic analysis addresses freeway access (peak hour freeway ramp performance) it
does not address freeway performance. This is a regional issue, largely outside the control of the City.
However, traffic volumes on I-IS through the City are exceeding the capacity ofthe freeway during peak
periods, and this is starting to affect freeway interchange performance. Over time, as the situation
worsens, interchange performance will be further compromised and the performance of key intersections
in proximity to those interchanges will deteriorate.
I
I
I
There are current studies aimed at seeking long-term freeway improvements. The intent is for
demand to be matched by capacity increases and that freeway levels of service can improve, or at best not
worsen. This analysis has assumed that such improvements will occur over time, and that in the future,
freeway levels of service will not be worse than existing. While this assumption may not carry any
certainty with it, to assume otherwise would require formulating a highway plan that responded to severe
freeway congestion and the resulting problems due to City streets being used as "freeway avoidance"
routes. The more rational approach is to have a balanced plan in which local trips and regional trips each
use their respective components of the highway system and that improvements are made to both over
time.
I
I
I
I
I
Freeway Interchanges
I
This analysis has shown existing and future deficiencies at the freeway interchanges serving the
City. While the two proposed new interchanges will help address this problem, some improvements will
also be needed at the three existing interchanges. Such improvements include added intersection lanes,
added ramp lanes, and freeway auxiliary lanes to enhance ramp capacity. Such needs should be addressed
as part of future freeway planning to ensure that access needs are considered in any future freeway
improvement plans.

Meadowview Area Street System
I
In the Meadowview area, a number of streets originally planned to provide access into and out of
the community, are currently closed. This has occurred in response to a concern regarding traffic
volumes on residential streets, and in particular, cut-through traffic.
I
A special analysis was carried out to examine the affect on the local circulation system if the
General Kearny Road connection is built. Year 2025 volumes were forecast for a network with the
General Kearny connection and the comparative ADT volumes on selected roadway links are as follows:

As seen here, all three intersections show improvements with the General Kearny connection,
although Y nez at Winchester remains deficient.
I
French Valley Parkway Connection to Murrieta Hot Springs Road
I
The short section of Murrieta Hot Springs Road between Winchester Road and the northerly
termination point of French Parkway is shown to have a future demand of 82,000 ADT. This high
volume, particularly with the weaving and turn volumes involved, will be difficult to accommodate with a
conventional at-grade roadway. Nor does some form of grade separation appear feasible. Accordingly,
the Highway Plan includes an east-west Secondary Arterial connection between French Valley Parkway
and Winchester Road just south of Murrieta Hot Springs Road. This will provide an opportunity to
implement a special operational plan that can distribute the left turns and thereby create the necessnry
capacity at this critical location. The City will need to work with the City of Murrieta to ensure that
adequate right-of-way is reserved to construct this roadway and implement such a plan.

Appendix A
INTERSECTION CAPACITY
UTILIZATION WORKSHEETS
I
I
Peak hour intersection volume/capacity ratios are calculated by means of intersection capacity
utilization (ICU) values. ICU calculations were performed for the intersections shown in Figure A-I. For
simplicity, signalization is assumed at each intersection. Precise ICU calculations of existing non-
signalized intersections would require a more detailed analysis.
I
I
I
The procedure is based on the critical movement methodology, and shows the amount of capacity
utilized by each critical move. A capacity of 1750 vehicles per hour (VPH) per lane is assumed together
with a .10 clearance interval. A "de-facto" right-turn lane is used in the ICU calculation for cases where a
curb lane is wide enough to separately serve both thru and right-turn traffic (typically with a width of 19
feet from curb to outside of tbm-Iane with parking prohibited during peak periods). Such lanes are treated
the same as striped right-turn lanes during the ICU calculations, but they are denoted on the ICU
calculation worksheets using the letter "d" in place of a numerical entry for right-turn lanes.
I
I
I
The methodology also incorporates a check for right-turn capacity utilization. Both right-turn-on-
green (RTOG) and right-turn-on-red (RTOR) capacity availability are calculated and checked against the
total right-turn capacity need. If insufficient capacity is available, then an adjustment is made to the total
capacity utilization value. The following example shows how this adjustment is made.
I
I
Example For Northbound Right
I. Right-Turn-On-Grccn (RTOG)
I
IfNBT is critical move, then:
RTOG ~ VIC (NET)
Otherwise,
RTOG~ VIC (NEL) + VIC (SBT) - VIC (SBL)

2. Right-Turn-On-Red (RTOR)
I
IfWBL is critical move, then:
RTOR = V/C (WBL)
Otherwise,
RTOR = VlC (EBL) + VlC (WBT) - V/C (EBT)
I
3. Right-Turn Overlao Adiustment
I
If the northbound right is assumed to overlap with the adjacent westbound left, adjustments to the
RTOG and RTOR values are made as follows:
I
RTOG = RTOG + V/C (WBL)
RTOR = RTOR - V/C (WBL)
4. Total Right-Turn Caoacity (RTC) Availability For NBR
I
RTC = RTOG + factor x RTOR
Where factor = RTOR saturation flow factor (75%)
I
Right-turn adjustment is then as follows: Additional ICU = V/C (NBR) - RTC
I
A zero or negative value indicates that adequate capacity is available and no adjustment is
necessary. A positive value indicates that the available RTOR and RTOG capacity does not adequately
accommodate the right-turn V/C, therefore the right-turn is essentially considered to be a critical
movement. In such cases, the right-turn adjustment is noted on the ICU worksheet and it is included in
the total capacity utilization value. When it is determined that a right-turn adjustment is required for more
than one right-turn movement, the word "multi" is printed on the worksheet instead of an actual right-turn
movement reference, and the right-turn adjustments are cumulatively added to the total capacity
utilization value. In such cases, further operational evaluation is typically carried out to determine if
under actual operational conditions, the critical right-turns would operate simultaneously, and therefore a
right-turn adjustment credit should be applied.

Shared Lane V/C Methodology
I
For intersection approaches where shared usage of a lane is permitted by more than one turn
movement (e.g., left/thru, thru/right, left/thru/right), the individual turn volumes are evaluated to
determine whether dedication of the shared lane is warranted to anyone given turn movement. The
following example demonstrates how this evaluation is carried out

I
I
I
Example for Shared LeftlThru Lane
1. Average Lane Volume (AL V)
I
ALV= Left-Turn Volume+Thru Volume
Total Left + Thru Approach Lanes (including shared lane)
I
2. AL V for Each Approach
I
AL V (Left) = Left-Turn Volume
Left Approach Lanes (including shared lane)
I
ALV(Thru)~ ThruVolume
Thru Approach Lanes (including shared lane)
I
3. Lane Dedication is Warranted
If AL V (Left) is greater than AL V then full dedication of the shared lane to the left-turn
approach is warranted. Left-turn and thru V/C ratios for this case are calculated as follows:
I
V/C (Left) ~ Left-Turn Volume
Left Approach Capacity (including shared lane)
I
V/C (Thru) = Thru Volume
Thru Approach Capacity (excluding shared lane)
I
Similarly, if AL V (Thru) is greater than AL V then full dedication to the thru approach is
warranted, and left-turn and thru V/C ratios are calculated as follows:
I
V/C (Left) = Left-Turn Volume
Left Approach Capacity (excluding shared lane)
I
I
I
V/C (Thru) = Thru Volume
Thru Approach Capacity (including shared lane)
4. Lane Dedication is not Warranted
If AL V (Left) and AL V (Thru) are both less than AL V, the left/thru lane is asswned to be
truly shared and each left, left/thru or thru approach lane carries an evenly distributed volume
oftraffic equal to AL V. A combined left/thru VlC ratio is calculated as follows:
VlC (LeftlThru) = Left-Turn Volume + Thru Volume
Total Left + Thru Approach Capacity (including shared lane)
I
This VlC (LeftlThru) ratio is assigned as the VlC (Thru) ratio for the critical movement
analysis and ICU summary listing.

I
I
I
I
If split phasing has not been designated for this approach, the relative proportion of V/C
(Thru) that is attributed to the left-turn volume is estimated as follows:
I
If approach has more than one left-turn (including shared lane), then:
V/C (Left) = V/C (Thru)
I
If approach has only one left-turn lane (shared lane), then:
V/C (Left) ~ Left-Turn Volume
Single Approach Lane Capacity
I
If this left-turn movement is determined to be a critical movement, the V/C (Left) value is
posted in brackets on the ICU summary printout.
I
These Same steps are carried out for shared thru/right lanes. If full dedication of a shared
thru/right lane to the right-turn movement is warranted, the right-turn V/C value calculated in step three is
checked against the RTOR and RTOG capacity availability if the option to include right-turns in the V/C
ratio calculations is selected. If the vie value that is determined using the shared lane methodology
described here is reduced due to RTOR and RTOG capacity availability, the VlC value for the thm/right
lanes is posted in brackets.

-& INTRODUCTION
TO THE GENERAL PLAN
T emecula combines urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles
within a unique natural setting. Incorporated on December
1, 1989 as a General Law City, Temecula has become one of
the fastest growing cities in the State of California, as well as
the Nation. Located in the southwestern corner of Riverside
County, the City provides a peaceful setting embracing the rich
history of the area and encompassing those values into the growth
of the community. More than any single idea within the Temecula
General Plan is the commitment to the preservation and
enhancement of a high quality of living in the Temecula Valley.
Physical identity and cohesion, adequate services and facilities, high
quality development, and a wide. range of community activities all
underlie this ideal. T emecula was planned to offer the best
amenities of a city, while preserving the topography of the
surrounding area. These complementary features have resulted in
both a high quality of life and prosperity for the residents and
businesses within the community. Recent growth pressures within
the City and in surrounding jurisdictions have established a need
for Temecula to update long range plans for development.
WHAT IS THE GENERAL PLAN
Temecula's General Plan identifies a community vision
for the future and establishes a framework to guide future
decisions regarding development, resource management,
public safety, public services, and the overall quality of
the community. During creation of the General Plan, the
community worked together to craft and define this
vision through text and illustrations. The General Plan
reflects the planning desires and values of Temecula
residents, the business community, and public officials.
The Temecula General Plan describes how citizens will
work to retain the natural and aesthetic qualities that
make their City unique, and at the same time, respond to
the dynamics of regional growth and meet changing
community needs. The General Plan serves as a policy
guide, balancing these inter-related factors to Temecula's
community vision.

PlANNING AREA
Temecula's Planning Area totals approximately
62 square miles and is shown in Figure 1-2. The
present City boundary encompasses
approximately 28 square miles. The 24 square
mile Sphere of Influence, established by the
County's Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO), includes unincorporated areas that will
most likely be annexed in the future, on a project
by project basis, by the City of Temecula. The
Planning Area provides a reasonable measure of
the City's present region of interest.

Importantly, this General Plan addresses not just lands within the
City's corporate limits, but also unincorporated Riverside County
properties surrounding Temecula, both within and beyond the
City's Sphere of Influence. Throughout the General Plan, this
combined area is referred to as the "Planning Area," illustrated in
Figure 1.1. While properties beyond the City limits are under the
jurisdiction of Riverside County agencies, they bear a critical
relationship to Temecula's planning activities, and from a visual
standpoint, form a significant backdrop to the community. One
day, they may become part of the City, and planning for service
extensions, integrated infrastructure, and high design quality is
timely and prudent.

Little is known of Temecula's first inhabitants, the Luisefio Indians.
These Native American people were present in the Temecula area in
the 1700s when the first Spanish padres visited. It is believed that
these hunter-gatberers first arrived and established settlements
around 900 A.D. It is also known that from these people, Temecula
was given its name, which comes from the Luisefio Indian word,
Temecunga, literally translated as Place if the Sun. The Spanish
interpreted and spelled the word as Temecula. Over the years, the
meaning of "Temecula" has been translated using several
interpretations, including the most popular: WOere the Sun Breaks
Through the Mist. T emecula is the only city in California to still
retain an original Indian name.
In the early 1800s, with California under Spanish then Mexican
control, much of what we geographically know as Southern
California was divided into ranches or Ranchos. In 1835, the
Spanish Governor Figueroa first granted Rancho Temecula to Jose
Antonio Estudillo. With the transition of California from a
Spanish colony to a newly independent Mexican state, the 26,000-
acre Rancho Temecula was granted to a Mexican army officer, Felix
Valdex, in the 1840s. In 1846, the Rancho was sold to Louis Vignes,
one of California's first commercial winemakers.
The transition from Rancho to town of the Old West came with
incorporation of California as a U.S. state and the resulting western
expansion by stagecoach and later, by railroad. This expansion
began in the 1850s, when the first American settlers arrived in
T emecula, and accelerated between 1858 and 1861 with the
operation of the Butterfield Overland Stage. With the opening of
the California Southern Railroad Line in 1882, Temecula became
established as a historical western town. In 1905, the railroad
brought Walter Vail to the Temecula Valley to begin ranching
operations on the 87,000-acre Vail Ranch.
In 1964, Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical purchased Vail Ranch,
beginning T emecula's transition from avocado orchards, vineyards,
and other agricultural uses, to an urbanized community by
preparing the Rancho California Development Plan. The overall
land use pattern and circulation system of T emecula today has
largely been guided by this plan. In 1989, T emecula incorporated as
a General Law City. The City of today encompasses both Old Town
Teme~ula and a portion of the planned community of Rancho
California. Since incorporation, the City has improved upon the
good parts of this original blueprint to create a desirable

TEMECULA'S VISION FOR lHE FUTURE
Building upon the City's history, and upon the vision statement
from the City's first General Plan, the Vision jOr the Future provides a
foundation for the General Plan, and a basis for goals, policies, and
programs. The vision is an expression of what the community
wants to maintain or become:
Temecula supports a family-focused lifestyle enjoyed by its
residents, while promoting a strong local business community and
agricultura~ technologica~ and manufacturing industries. The
community continues to be a regional destination jOr those seeking the
desirable atmosphere established by wineries and historic Old Town. A
strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open
space, and cultural amenities make Temecula a desirable place
jOr higher education facilities to locate. Cleanliness, positive
community identity, and low crime rate make residents fiel safi
in their neighborhoods, commercial districts, and schools.

The local circulation system meets the needs af Temecula
residents and businesses while calming traffic in residential
neighborhoods and near schools. Within this circulation system,
pedestrians and ryclists are able to travel safily and quickly
throughout the community. Appropriate pedestrian-oriented commercial
and '!!fice uses are concentrated within village centers, and mixed use
commercial and residential developments are encouraged.
Commercial, '!!fice, and light industrial/manufacturing uses locate and
thrive in Temecula, providing fiscal stability to the City and a revenue
source to finance community improvements and open space resources,
including cultural art centers, community centers, and parks. Financial
stability provides a high quality af public and private services and activities
meeting the needs af a wide array af interests, ages, and lifestyles. These
beneficial businesses also operate in harmony with surrounding residential
neighborhoods. Diverse housing options are available to meet the needs af
all segments af the community, while protecting the character and value af
singlefamily neighborhoods,

PuRPOSE OF ruE GENERAL PLAN
Under California law, every city must adopt a comprehensive, long-
term General Plan to guide physical development within the
incorporated area, as well as to plan for land beyond the municipal
boundaries that bear a relationship to the city's planning activities.
In essence, a city's General Plan serves as the blueprint for future
growth and development. The plan must contain policies and
programs to provide decision makers with a solid basis for future
decisions related to land use and development.
State law further indicates that the General Plan is the primary
document a jurisdiction must use to regulate land use.
Consequently, the Development Code, specific plans, and
individual public and private development proposals must be
consistent with General Plan goals, policies, and standards.
To ensure that every city and county prepares General Plans that are
comprehensive and long-term in perspective, State statutes establish
requirements for the minimum contents of a General Plan.
(Sections 65350 through 65590 of the Government Code.) By law, a
General Plan must contain the following seven "elements", which
must be internally consistent:
.:. Land Use
.:. Circulation
.:. Housing
.:. Conservation
.:. Open Space
.:. Noise
.:. Safety
Jurisdictions may prepare and adopt any other General Plan
element or address any other subject of particular local relevance or
interest, with the understanding that these optional elements must

be implemented with the same vigor - and are subject to the same . ,,",
legal scrutiny - as the mandatory elements, The City of Temecula
has elected to address economic development, community design,
public facilities and services, growth management, and air quality
within the General Plan as additional elements,
The Land Use Element establishes a framework for growth and
development within the Planning Area, and provides for the types,
intensity, density, and distribution ofIand uses found in Temecula.
The Circulation Element establishes the transportation network
needed to support the travel demands associated with land uses.
The Housing Element describes current housing will be conserved
and new housing will be produced. This element defines local
housing problems and needs and identifies necessary programs to
achieve housing objectives.
The Open Space/Conservation Element establishes polices and
implementation programs to encourage the conservation, protection
and management of natural resources within the Planning Area.
This element also addresses the parks and recreation system needed
to serve the community.
The Growth Management/Public Facilities Element addresses
public services and infrastructure requirements needed to serve
development in a timely manner. This element also addresses local
and regional growth management issues, including compliance with
State laws.
The Public Safety Element provides a planning framework for the
protection of the community from natural and human activity
hazards.
The Noise Element identifies noise sensitive land uses and noise
sources, and establishes programs to protect the community from
the adverse affects of excessive noise.
The Air Quality Element establishes a policy foundation to
implement local government control measures, as required by the
Air QIality Management Plan.
The Community Design Element provides design policies and
criteria that address issues to enhance and preserve the community-
wide appearance and character of T emecula, including visual
compatibility between land uses, preservation of neighborhoods and

General Plan are identified that may be used to achieve specific
goals. The relationship of the element to other General Plan
elements is also discussed in the Introduction,
Each element also contains an Issues section. This section offers an
overview of the City's approach to significant planning issues. For
example, the Land Use Element indicates the types and intensities of
land use permitted in the City. The Circulation Element describes
the overall circulation system required to meet the future needs of
T emecula. Wherever possible, this section contains illustrative
maps, diagrams, and tables. This section also contains "Plans in
Action" which describe measures that the City has put in place to
implement identified goals and policies.
The Goals and Policies section of each element contains a
description of identified goals and policies related to the element
topic, based on input received from the community, members of
the Planning Commission and City Council, City staff, and other
public agencies.
Goals are broad statements of community desires, purpose or
direction. Policies serve as guides to the City Council, Planning
Commission, other City commissions and boards, and City staff in
reviewing development proposals and making other decisions that
affect the future growth and development ofTemecula.
Following the Goals, and Policies section of each Element are
Implementation Programs which identifY specific actions to achieve
the goals, policies, and plans identified in each General Plan
element. These programs identifY and describe specific actions and
responsible parties to ensure that General Plan goals, policies, and
plans are implemented.
The Glossary is an appendix to the General Plan (Appendix A),
providing a set of definitions for technical terms used in the Plan,
The organization of the General Plan allows users to turn to the

Public participation played an important role III the Temecula
General Plan program. Because the General Plan reflects
community goals, citizen input was essential to identifY issues and
formulate goals. Public participation in the General Plan
preparation process occurred through the following methods:
I
I
I
.:. Three Community Workshops involving City staff,
consultants, and the public. Community members were
invited to the Workshops to discuss their visions for the
future of T emecula, to review land use, circulation, and
housing alternatives and policies, and to comment on a
preliminary draft of this General Plan.
I
I
,I
.:. A Newsletter summarizing the Draft General Plan was
prepared and distributed to provide residents with a brief
description of the proposed General Plan.
.:. The public was able to address decision makers regarding the
General Plan at four Joint Planning Commission/City
Council Workshops. These workshops were conducted to:
review the vision for the future and confirm major issues;
review draft goals and policies; review land use, circulation,
and housing alternatives; and review the preliminary Draft
General Plan prior to public hearings.

-4 LAND USE
ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Land use describes the economic, social, physical and cultural
dimensions of activity in T emecula. The City is fortunate to
have a good mix of affordable housing, high-paying jobs,
quality parks, tourist activities, and public facilities.
Determining the future location, type, and intensity of new
development and reuse projects, and establishing the desired mix
and relationship between such projects are objectives of the General
Plan Land Use Element.
Several key community" identity and development questions
currently face the City, including:
.:. Where and how should the City encourage mixed use
commercial and residential projects?
.:. Where and how can the City preserve rural communities
within and surrounding Temecula?
.:. How can the City influence the type, location and character
of future growth in the French Valley area?
.:. How will Temecula preserve the quality and value of single-
family neighborhoods?
.:. How can the City ensure that surrounding natural resources
and the aesthetic look and feel of T emecuIa are maintained
in the face of future growth?
.:. What is the future role of Old Town in relation to the rest
of the community?
.:. How can the quality of life in Temecula benefit from or be
hurt by future regional land use and transportation plans
and decisions?

Goals, policies and programs presented in this Element seek to
answer these questions and provide a long-term strategy to ensure
that land use relationships in Temecula are improved and
contribute to the community's outstanding quality oflife.
I

I
I
I
I
I
I
State law requires that T emecula prepare and adopt a General Plan
as the primary tool for the City to manage growth and
development. The Land Use Element is a mandatory element, or
chapter, of the General Plan used to describe present and planned
land uses and their relationship to the community's long-range
goals for the future. The Land Use Element identifies the proposed
general distribution, location, and extent of land uses including
residential, commercial and office, light industrial,
public/institutional, and open space areas. The element consists of
text, maps, and diagrams outlining future land uses within the City
and showing how uses are integrated with other General Plan
elements and policies.
The Land Use Element is often considered the "umbrella" element
of the General Plan, encompassing issues and policies that are
considered in greater detail in other elements. For example, land
use policies both within the City and in the French Valley area have
a direct bearing on the planned local street system shown in the
Circulation Element. Issues and needs identified in the Housing
Element have led to an emphasis on accommodating future mixed
use development in areas surrounding 1-15. Potential infrastructure
and service impacts of development consistent with the Land Use
Plan determine the policies and implementation programs of the
Growth Management/Public Facilities Element. Other General Plan
issues regarding safety, noise and the natural environment directly
relate to the policies and Land Use Plan contained in this Element.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
The Land Use Policy Map (Figure LU-2) is a particularly important
feature of the element, since it shows the locations and types of
development within the City. The element also describes the
intensity or density of development planned for various areas
within the community. General locations for mixed use
development, rural preservation, and future growth are identified,
and policies are established to achieve these diverse objectives within
specified areas.

o
To describe the intensity of use - how much development exists on
a property (and presumably, what the associated activity level is) -
land use planners have developed quantitative measures called
density and intensity_ '
u
S
E
The term density typically applies to residential uses and refers to the
population and development capacity of residential land, Density is
described in terms of dwelling units per net acre of land (du/ac).
Net acreage corresponds to the gross project or lot area, less that
portion of the site used for arterial or collector roadways; andlor
the floodway portion of a flood plain_

FIGURE LU-I
ExAMPLES OF FLOOR.-AREA RATIO (FAR)
For commercial, industrial, and other
nonresidential uses, intensity describes the
degree to which a property is developed.
The measure of intensity T emecula has
adopted is the floor-area ratio. The floor-
area ratio, or FAR, describes the
relationship between the total square
footage of development on a lot and the
area of that lot. Floor area does not
include area within parking structures. The
FAR is determined by dividing the gross
floor area of all buildings on a lot by the
gross land area of the lot, less any portion
used for arterial or collector roads.
FAR and factors such as building square
footage, building height, and the percent of
lot coverage are all inter-related. For
example, a 20,000-square-foot building on a
40,000-square-foot lot yields an FAR of
0.50. This 0.50 FAR can accommodate a
singie-story building that covers half the
lot, or a two-story building with reduced
lot coverage. Figure LV-! illustrates
different FAR calculations.

SolITHWFSf AREA PLAN
The Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) was originally adopted by the
Riverside County Board of Supervisors in November, 1989 as a part
of the Riverside County Comprehensive General Plan. It was
updated as part of the Riverside County Integrated Program (RCIP)
effort in 2003. The updated County plan envisions substantial
amounts of new development around the City. The analysis of
circulation issues is expected to be completed in 2004.
Development in unincorporated areas represents a source of
substantial impact to the community that is beyond the City's
ability to control.
TEMECULA DEVaOPMENf CoDE
The Temecula Development Code establishes detailed zoning
districts and regulations based upon the General Plan. The
Development Code includes all of the City's zoning ordinance
provisions, and has been supplemented over time to include other
related procedures such as subdivision regulations, environmental
review procedures and a sign code. Development Code regulations
and maps must be consistent with the land uses, policies, and
implementation programs of the General Plan. It is anticipated that
the Development Code will be updated to reflect the land use and
development policies contained in this Element.
TEMECULA REDEVaOPMENf PLAN
Prior to Temecula's incorporation in 1989, the County of Riverside
established a Redevelopment Project Area in accordance with
California Community Redevelopment Law to eliminate blight
within designated areas. Generally, the Redevelopment Project Area
centers on the 1-15 corridor and includes the Promenade Mall, Old
Town, and industrial and business park areas west of the freeway

established, the Project Area encompassed sections of the
community with conditions, such as abandoned buildings,
substandard housing, empty parcels, and vandalism that may

After incorporation, the City of Temecula assumed responsibility .
for administering the Project Area. With the adoption of Assembly
Bill 1290, the Temecula Redevelopment Agency has prepared an
implementation plan for the area. The Redevelopment Plan is one
of the tools the City uses to implement Land Use Element policies.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND GIlIDELINFS
The California Environmental QIality Act (CEQA) was adopted by U

POLICY DoCUMENT - fRENCH VALLEY AIRPoRT
French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and
operated by the County of Riverside. The airport occupies
approximately 261 acres east of Winchester Road and is located five
miles north of Temecula's city center and one and one-quarter mile
northwest of the City limits within the sphere of influence.
French Valley Airport is one of 16 airports in Riverside County
governed by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission
(ALUC). In November 2004, the ALUC adopted the Riverside
County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy
Document, which establishes policies applicable to land use
compatibility planning in the vicinity of airports throughout
Riverside County, including compatibility criteria and maps for the
infl uence areas of individual airports. The ALUCP also establishes
procedural requirements for compatibility review of development
proposals. The basic function of airport land use compatibility
plans is to promote compatibility between airports and the land
uses that surround them. Compatibility plans serve as a tool for
airport land use commissions in reviewing proposed development
plans for airports and surrounding land uses. Additionally,
compatibility plans establish criteria for local agencies to use when
preparing or amending land use plans and ordinances and for
landowners (including special district and other local government
entities as well as private parties) to use when designing new
development projects.

State law requires each local agency having jurisdiction over land

any affected specific plans to be consistent with the compatibility
plan, or to overrule the ALUC by a two-thirds vote of its governing
body after making findings that the agency's plans are consistent

TEMECULA CAPITAL IMPR.OVFMENT PROGRAM
The City's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is for fiscal
years 2003-2008. The CIP serves as a planning tool to coordinate
the financing and scheduling of major projects to be undertaken by
the City. These projects generally include: land and right-of-way
acquisition; design, construction or rehabilitation of public
buildings, facilities, and parks; public infrastructure design and
construction; and redevelopment projects. Some projects are
included which are not capital improvements per se, but are being
considered for allocation of redevelopment tax increment funds.
The Capital Improvement Program is used in the preparation of the
Land Use Element, as well as other elements of the General Plan.
REGIONAL CoMPREHENSM PLAN AND GtnDE
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
undertakes regional planning efforts for the six-<:ounty SCAG region
which includes Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Imperial, Los
Angeles, and Ventura Counties. SCAG's efforts focus on developing
strategies to minimize traffic congestion, protect environmental
quality, and provide adequate housing throughout the region. The
Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide - developed with active
participation from local agencies, elected officials, the business
community, community groups, private institutions, and citizens -
sets forth broad goals and objectives intended to be implemented by
participating jurisdictions and agencies, such as the South Coast Air
Q!tality Management District and Riverside Transit Agency.

NATIONAL POlLUfANf DIscHARGE AND ELIMINATION SYSTFM
Temecula is under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Regional Water
Qiality Control Board (SDRWQ!l), which implements the National
Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) permit for
the San Diego area (including the southernmost portion of
Riverside County). The NPDES permit, a requirement under the
Clean Water Act, addresses pollution from urban runoff that
impacts water quality of receiving waters (such as streams and lakes).
Under the NPDES permit, each jurisdiction must implement
measures to reduce urban runoff during all phases of development:
planning, construction, and current uses. Requirements include
incorporating Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce runoff
from construction and current uses, reporting any violations to the
SDRWQ!l, and education regarding the potential negative water
quality impacts of urban runoff.
LAND UsE PLAN
The Land Use Plan for Temecula addresses the manner in which the
City will grow over the next 20 years. Land Uses are classified and
mapped, showing where the City anticipates residential, commercial
and industrial development, and identifYing areas set aside for
community purposes, such as parks, schools, and open spaces. The
Plan also includes provisions allowing high-quality, well-designed
mixed use projects adjacent to the 1-15 Corridor, and provides
standards for the preservation of several rural areas unique to
Temecula that help to define the City's character. At the same time,
the Plan outlines measures the City can take to preserve single-
family neighborhoods, conserve natural and aesthetic resources,
establish a long-term role for Old Town within the fabric of the
community, and ensure that regional land use and transportation
planning decisions have positive benefits for the City. Other
General Plan elements also expand on these key objectives, working
to achieve the City's vision for a sustainable, high-quality urban and
rural community.
Specific actions the City will take to achieve these objectives are
outlined in the Land Use Implementation Programs, listed at the
conclusion of the Land Use Element.

DIVERSE LAND
UsES
Beyond these fiscal considerations, diversity of land use also has
positive benefits for community livability and quality of life.
Temecula is fortunate to have good shopping and entertainment
options for residents and visitors alike, as well as a large, relatively
new supply of housing. City businesses benefit from the large
number of visitors to the region associated with the wineries and
Pechanga Entertainment Center. Maintaining a variety of
complimentary land uses within the City remains a high priority for
Temecula.
The diversity of land uses within
Temecula affects an important
balance between generation of
public revenues and provision of
public services and facilities.
Achieving and maintaining a
diverse and desirable balance of
land uses can ensure the City's
fiscal viability and also promote a
desirable community in which
people work, shop, live, visit and
recreate.

The Land Use Policy Map (Figure LU-2) graphically represents the
planned distribution and intensity of land uses in the Planning
Area. The colors shown on the map correspond to sixteen land use
designations describing the amount, type and nature of
development allowed in Temecula, and recommended for the
Sphere of Influence and Planning Area. While terms like
"residential", "commercial", and "industrial" are generally
understood, State General Plan law requires a clear and concise
description of the designations and categories shown on the Land
Use Policy Map. In addition, population and intensity standards
must be specified.

maximum allowable development on individual parcels is governed
by these measures. Land use designations are implemented through
detailed regulations and requirements for permitted uses and
development standards within the City's Development Code.

The Hillside Residential category is intended to
provide for the development of very low density
single-family detached housing in areas that are best
suited for open space or have severe constraints to
development, such as steep hillsides with slopes over
twenty-five percent, limited access and public services,
fire hazards and other environmental concerns. The
typical lot size for the Hillside Residential
designation is 10 acres for sites with minimal slopes
with one dwelling unit permitted per lot, however,
clustering of development may be appropriate to
minimize grading requirements and impacts to
environmentally sensitive areas. Larger lot sizes are
anticipated in areas with substantial site constraints.

RR - RURAL REsIDENTIAL
Density Range:
Target Density:
0.1-0.2 units/net acre
0.2 units/net acre
The Rural Residential designation is intended to
provide for development of very low density housing
compatible with light agricultural activities and
vineyards surrounding the City. These areas
typically are characterized by limited access and rural
services, and a portion of the land on each lot may
be utilized for agricultural purposes. The minimum
lot size for the Rural Residential designation is 5
acres 'with one dwelling unit permitted per lot,
however, clustering of development may be
appropriate to preserve valuable agricultural or
vineyard lands. This designation is also consistent
with large lot residences that keep horses and other
animals, or utilize a portion of the land for
agricultural production. Larger lot sizes are expected
to be found in areas with steep topography or other
site constraints.

The Very Low Density Residential designation
provides for single-family detached residential
development on large lots. This designation is also
consistent with large lot residences that keep horses
and other animals, or utilize a portion of the land
for agricultural production. Typical lot sizes are 2.5
acres, however, clustering of development may be
appropriate to minimize grading requirements and
impacts to environmentally sensitive areas.

The Recreation Commercial Overlay designation
may be applied to properties designated for Open
Space use. This designation provides for operation
and development of resort or amusement oriented
commercial and recreational uses of regional interest
that draw visitors from throughout the City and
region. Permitted uses include commercial
recreation, conference centers, golf courses,
clubhouses, hotels, resorts, restaurants, parks, camp
grounds, open spaces and community facilities.
Restaurants, hotels, and resort uses are accessory to
the underlying open space uses.
TARGET DENsmEs AND INrENSITIFS
For various reasons, many parcels in the community have not been
developed to their maximum density or intensity. Future
development is expected to occur at the target level of density or
intensity stated in Table LU-l for each land use designation. For
residential projects, development at a density between the target and
maximum levels may only occur for the Hillside, Rural, Very Low,
Low and Low Medium designations, at the discretion of the
Planning Commission and City Council. In malcing a
determination of density beyond the target in these zones, the
following community benefits may be considered:
.:. Additional active parkland, trails or open space.
.:. Preservation of historic buildings or sites.
.:. Preservation and enhancement of natural habitat.

These amenities are intended to satisfY a need over and above the
minimum requirements of the General Plan and other City policies
and regulations. Some residential development is expected to occur
below the target level of density and some development is expected
to occur above the target level, based on provision of public
amenities (such as schools and parks) within areas designated for
residential uses. For area-wide planning purposes, the target level of
density for each residential land use designation and the target FAR
for each non-residential land use designation is assumed.
A target level of density is not established for the Medium and High
density residential designations, so as not to preclude or discourage
the development of affordable housing. However, for area-wide
planning purposes, a probable level of development within the
Medium and High designations is assumed.
Development at densities or intensities varying from these land use
designations is permitted within Mixed Use Overlay Areas and
Specific Plan Areas identified in the Land Use Element at the
discretion of the Planning Commission and City Council without
the need for a General Plan Amendment.
DEV8..0PMENT CAPACITY
The Land Use Plan for Temecula includes target levels of residential
and non-residential development, where all land in the planning
area is developed according to the Land Use Policy Map. The target
levels of development establish a capacity for the Land Use Plan
that is expressed as estimates of total dwelling units, total
population, and total square footage of non-residential development
in the future.

SPECIFIC PLANs
Many areas within the City and Planning Area are subject to the
plans, policies and implementation measures of currently adopted
or anticipated future Specific Plans. The purpose of Specific Plans
is to provide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent with
the General Plan. A Specific Plan area designation is used to
identifY 25 such areas within the Temecula Planning Area, which
because of size, location, and/or special development opportunities
require a coordinated and comprehensive planning approach (see
Figure LU-3). In identified Specific Plan areas of 100 or more acres,
approval of a Specific Plan is required prior to approval of any
discretionary land use entitlement or issuance of any building or
grading permit. In some areas, Village Center Plans, which allow
greater intensities, can also be used. Planned development overlays
can be used for smaller areas.
Specific Plans must be prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Section 65451 of the California Government Code
and the City's Development Code, which contains some additional
requirements tailored to meet local needs and conditions.
Designated areas will require detailed plans indicating land uses,
circulation, major infrastructure and facilities, open space and
parks, and appropriate implementation measures. All Specific Plans
will be evaluated for consistency with the goals, policies, plans and
programs of the General Plan.
Approved Specific Plan Areas - As shown in Table LU4, a total of
23 Specific Plans have been approved within the planning area as of
May, 2003. Specific Plan documents for each of these areas are
available for reference at the City Planning Department. Approved
land uses for each Specific Plan are shown on the Land Use Policy
Map.

ENCOURAGING
MIxEo UsE
Future Specific Plan Areas - The Land Use Plan provides a
guideline for future Specific Plan areas in terms of the
recommended land use and circulation pattern, maximum density
and intensity of development, desired mix of uses and other factors.
Future proposals for these Specific Plan areas are expected to
include a land use plan that is consistent with the goals and policies
of the General Plan. The Development Code contains requirements
for the content and processing procedure for Specific Plans. The
Planned Development Overlay and Village Center Plan processes,
detailed in the Development Code, may also be used to satisfY
Specific Plan requirements for development within these areas.
Table LU-5 provides additional direction concerning future Specific
Plan areas.

As part of the General Plan process, community members decided
that Temecula should encourage mixed commercial, office, and
residential development projects at key locations surrounding the 1-
15 corridor. This approach complements alld builds upon the
village center development strategy employed in Temecula
throughout the last decade, where concentrations and mixtures of
compatible retail, office, public facilities, open space and housing
are encouraged at activity nodes located throughout the City. Most
of the village centers proposed by the City have either been
developed or are the subject of approved Specific Plans and will be
developed in the future.
The Land Use Plan addresses infill residential and commercial
development within the City of Temecula through designation of
three Mixed Use Overlay Areas, shown on Figure LU-4, and listed in
Table LU-6. These areas, located within the City's Redevelopment
Project Area and generally surrounding the 1-15 corridor, are
characterized either by aging commercial centers, traditional
commercial development, or vacant/underutilized land. They
provide opportunities for creative mixed reuse as commercial,
residential, office, or employment centers. Such reuse has become
popular among developers and residents alike in recent years.
Notable examples of this style of development have recently been
constructed throughout California.

BACKGROUND
Mixed use in Temecula is a long-range planning concept. In some
cases, residential units would be added within shopping centers and
districts. In other cases, new mixed use projects would be
constructed. In either case, residential units may be introduced and
development intensity will likely increase from current conditions.
Permitted uses are defined
using the underlying land use
designation for non-residential
uses. An additional residential
component is also required for
projects within the Mixed Use
Overlay Areas. As an example,
in an area with a Community
Commercial base designation
and a Mixed Use Overlay, such as Town Center/fower Plaza, the
Community Commercial designation establishes the permitted uses:
retail, professional offices, and service-oriented businesses. The
Mixed Use overlay adds residential as a permitted use, and increases
the maximum and target FARs that apply to the site, pending
approval of a Development Plan.
As shown in Table LU-6, each Mixed Use Overlay Area has different
density and intensity standards, responding directly to the available
capacity of the surrounding roadway system. For each area, a daily
trip cap is defined, expressing the maximum number of daily trips
permitted. Within the daily trip cap for each area, flexible, high-
quality design and creative mixes of adjacent uses are encouraged,
consistent with the ranges expressed in Table LU-5. Development
project proposals that exceed the specified trip caps shall not be
approved.

Mixed use areas and village centers will also be linked via multi-use
trails, and regional and local transit service. The City will work
with regional planning agencies to ensure that mixed use areas are
linked to any future commuter or high speed rail service connecting
T emecula to other parts of the region.
PREsERVING
RURAL AREAs
Rural areas within the planning area are of special economic and
aesthetic importance to the City. Community members have
considered future land use options within three Rural Preservation
Areas, and have expressed a desire to keep these areas rural. Rural
Preservation Areas are identified in Figure LU-4, and listed in Table
LU-7.

Two of the three Rural Preservation Areas are located outside the
current City boundary, under the jurisdiction of the County of
Riverside. Future uses for these areas are also proposed in the
Southwest Area Plan (SWAP), a component of the Riverside County
Integrated Project (RCIP). Interagency coordination and
monitoring of County development plans in these areas is essential
to the preservation of rural character development.

Each of these areas is characterized by rural
development. Public services and utilities are
present in some areas, but are not built to support
urban levels of service. Residents within many of
these areas have grown accustomed to a rural
lifestyle, and have in the past expressed an interest
in the areas remaining rural. The City will
encourage developers to provide open space or
landscaped buffers between rural residential and
agricultural areas, and will limit the number and
size of accessory structures on large lots to
enhance the rural character of these areas.

The Nicolas Valley area, located within the current City boundary,
was the subject of a recent special planning study which concluded
that rural residential land uses was the desired plan for the area.
Another area to the east of T emecula contains many of the wineries
and agricultural properties located along Rancho California Road.
In this area, the goal of rural preservation is to ensure that urban
uses do not encroach on winery operations and that residential
property densities remain ruraL

The rural preservation area located southeast of the City represents
an area where urban growth could expand and create additional
land use conflicts and infrastructure problems.
Over the last decade, Temecula and western Riverside County have
grown at a significant rate. Understanding that 'growth will occur in
the future, directing how and where growth will occur is important,
as it will have a great impact on the quality of life and economic
well-being of the community. To prepare for population increases
in the next 20 years, Temecula will direct growth into the French
Valley Future Growth Area (see Figure LU4). By concentrating
growth here, the City hopes to improve traffic and circulation
conditions, avoid developing more land than necessary at urban
densities, and meet urban infrastructure needs (i.e. roads, park,
police and fire, etc.).
Developing and promoting a land use, plan for the French Valley
area expresses the City's planning objectives and recognizes that
how this area develops in the future, has a direct impact on quality
of life in Temecula. In the future the City will attempt to convert
previously approved unplanned urban uses into a functional high
quality urban area. This area is currently under the jurisdiction of
the County of Riverside but is within Temecula's sphere of
influence, meaning that the City must be consulted regarding
proposed development projects. Approved Specific Plans covering
most of the Future Growth Area (see Figure LU-3) determine the
future land uses.
Temecula is composed largely of single-family residential
neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are the building blocks upon
which the quality of life enjoyed by all T emecula residents is based.
Preserving the desirable characteristics of quiet, calm, safe, family-
oriented neighborhoods is a high priority for the City.
The City will consider the compatibility of future development
projects on surrounding residential neighborhoods in the
development review process, including analysis of projects under the

California Environmental QIality Act (CEQA). Additionally,
traffic impact reports are required for major development projects
to identify mitigation measures that ensure adverse traffic impacts
of major development projects in residential neighborhoods are
minimized.
Land use decisions in T emecula also must consider the natural
conditions and resources present in the planning area, as well as the
valuable hillside and scenic resources present in the community.
These issues are addressed in detail in the Open Space/Conservation
Element of the General Plan, but they merit attention from a land
use policy perspective as well.
The City will preserve the quality of hillsides and reduce potential
hazards associated with hillside development by incorporating
hillside development standards within the Development Code. The
Land Use Policy Map identifies potential areas where hillside
standards are appropriate using the Hillside Residential land use
designation.
T emecula will promote use of alternative flood control techniques,
such as construction of soft-bottom channels, to reduce the capital
and maintenance costs of providing adequate flood control services.
This has the added potential benefit of improving the quality of
open space resources along Santa Gertrudis, Murrieta and Temecula
Creeks and the Santa Margarita River. The City will coordinate
with the County of Riverside to ensure that alternative means of
flood control are employed within unincorporated portions of the
planning area, when feasible.
Urban development can affect the environment in many ways,
including water quality, which can be impacted by pollutants from
urban runoff. Pollutants such as heavy metals, petroleum products,
animal waste and trash can be carried through the storm drain
system into receiving waters, such as Santa Gertrudis, Murrieta, and
Temecula Creeks, and into the Santa Margarita River. These
pollutants affect the beneficial uses of these receiving waters
including recreation, aesthetic enjoyment and preservation of fish
and wildlife habitat. To address this problem, the federal Clean
Water Act was amended in 1987 to include the National Pollutant
Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This permit,
implemented within the Santa Margarita River watershed by the San
Diego Regional Water QIality Control Board (SDRWQCB) requires
Temecula to enforce requirements reducing polluted runoff during
all phases of development. The City will continue to implement the
most recent provisions adopted and mandated by the SDRWQCB.

Old Town Temecula continues
to be a strong identification
point for the City. This historic
area is an attractive destination,
located immediately adjacent to
I-IS, where visitors to the region
can shop, dine, or attend a talk,
program or tour of the area
offered by the Temecula Valley Historical Museum. A recent
Specific Plan was adopted for Old Town, providing a detailed land
use plan and development standards for the area. Implementation
of the Specific Plan is resulting in successful restoration of older
buildings, streetscape improvements, and integration of civic uses,
such as the Post Office and Historical Museum with other
commercial, administrative/professional and residential uses. The
City desires to ensure that Old Town remains a focal point for
social, cultural, civic, tourist and economic development activities.
The Old Town Specific Plan and the City's Redevelopment Plan
provide effective tools to achieve these purposes.
The City will continue to implement the Old Town Specific Plan
and will modify or amend it as needed to respond to development
trends in the area. Implementation of the Westside Specific Plan
and potential Mixed Use development in the South of Old Town
area can also encourage economic growth within Old Town by
expanding residential opportunities and creating a nighttime
population on the west side off-IS.

Temecula makes substantial contributions to the southern
California economy and affordable housing market, and is subject
to more than its share of regional development impacts in terms of
air quality, traffic, and natural resource conservation. Proactive
participation in regional planning activities is the best way to ensure
that positive benefits result for City residents and businesses. The
City will continue to coordinate planning decisions with the actions
of surrounding jurisdictions, including the City of Murrieta, and
the counties of Riverside and San Diego. Specifically, the City will
participate in regional planning efforts for open spaces, multi-use
trails, multi-species habitat conservation, air quality reduction, water
quality improvement, watershed planning, and statewide and
regional transit efforts.
The French Valley Airport is located north of the City, just east of
Winchester Road. A Master Plan has been adopted for the airport,
as well as a County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP).
Following annexations of areas within the area of influence, the
City will create an-Airport Overlay Zoning District for newly-
annexed parcels within the Area of Influence.
GoAlB AND POUCIFS
Preserving the high quality of life that has attracted so many
residents and businesses to Temecula over the years is the primary
purpose of the General Plan. The following goals and policies are
designed to achieve this objective by addressing eight major issues
facing the City: 1) encouraging diverse, high-quality land uses, 2)
encouraging mixed use development in limited corridors
surrounding 1-15, 3) preserving the characteristics of rural and
historical areas within the City and Planning Area, 4) carefully
managing future growth in the French Valley area, 5) preservinl}WlC:
character and value of single-family neighborhoods, 6) con'strving
natural resources and improving the visual appeal of Temecula, 7)
defining the role of Old Town T emecula relative to the rest of the
City, and 8) ensuring City interests are achieved by major regional
land use and circulation policy.
A well-balanced community provides a broad range of planned land
uSeS in desirable patterns and intensities. By providing for a diverse
mix of land uses, the City can achieve a suitable inventory of
housing for a range of income groups, a viable commercial and
employment base for residents and surrounding communities,
ample open space and recreational opportunities, adequate public

Policy 1.8
Encourage future development of a community
hospital and related services, as well as a community
college, major college or university.
Policy 1.9
Establish paseos, greenbelts, linear parks and trails
within buffer areas between developments and at the
City's edge.
Policy 1.1 0
Distribute high density housing throughout the
community around transit nodes.
As Temecula begins to age, development opportunities are emerging
within older commercial corridors on both sides of 1-15. These
areas provide opportunities for creative reuse as commercial,
residential, office, employment/technology, or mixed use centers.
Three Mixed Use Overlay Areas are identified in the Land Use Plan:
Jefferson Avenue, Town CenterfTower Plaza, and south of Old
Town. Future development options for these areas are directly tied
to potential vehicular traffic impacts, ability of current
infrastructure to serve the areas, high-quality pedestrian-oriented
design, and full integration of alternative transportation modes.
Successful completion of high-quality mixed use projects in
Temecula will assist the City in accomplishing multiple housing,
circulation, and land use objectives.
Goal 2
Successful, high-quality mixed use development
projects containing a mix of residential,
commercial/office, and civic land uses, supported
by alternative modes of transportation.
Policy 2.1
Encourage development of mixed use projects to
revitalize older commercial and industrial areas or to
create village centers, provided that adequate capacity
is available on the roadway system to support such
projects.
Policy 2.2
Require mixed use projects proposed within Mixed
Use Overlay Areas to include a residential
component, to contain a mixture of compatible uses,
and to provide necessary supporting public and
community facilities.

many residents want to maintain. Three of these areas, located at
the periphery of the City, are designated as Rural Preservation Areas
in the Land Use Plan: Nicolas Valley, and the winery and
agricultural properties east of T emecula. At these locations, rural
residential, light agricultural, and vineyard uses will be preserved.
Historical resources in the community, including Old Town
Temecula and the Butterfield Stage Stop along SR-79 South, are also
valued and should be preserved. Future project approvals within or
adjacent to Rural Preservation Areas and historical areas will affect
the long-term integrity of both resources.

Unincorporated areas in the City's northern Sphere of Influence are
largely proposed for development through specific plans under the
jurisdiction of Riverside County. Temecula has an opportunity to
control land uses, phasing of development, project design, and
infrastructure improvements by annexing these properties prior to
project approval by the County. To achieve these purposes, the City
has developed a land use plan for the French Valley area (shown on
the Land Use Policy Map), and has designated this area as a Future
Growth Area. The intent of these steps is to ensure that future
annexations are beneficial additions to the City, and to minimize
impacts of future development in the area on City roads and
infrastructure.

Continue to interact and develop strong working
relationships and effective inter-governmental review
procedures with entities such as the Pechanga Band,
City of Murrieta, and County of Riverside.
The predominant land use in Temecula is the single-family detached
home, ranging from two to eight dwelling units per acre. Many
neighborhoods exhibit distinguishable character in terms of design,
landscaping, and hardscape improvements. Future residential and
non-residential development should be compatible with the natural
features of the site and the adjacent uses, so that the character and
value ofTemecula's single-family residential areas are maintained.
GoalS
A land use pattern that protects and enhances
residential neighborhoods.
Consider the compatibility of proposed projects on
surrounding uses in terms of the size and
configuration of buildings, use of materials and
landscaping, preservation of existing vegetation and
landform, the location of access routes, noise
impacts, traffic impacts, and other environmental
conditions.
Require parcels developed for commercial or
industrial uses to incorporate buffers that minimize
the impacts of noise, light, visibility of activity and
vehicular traffic on surrounding residential uses.
Require proposed development to evaluate the
incremental traffic impacts on local roads
throughout the proposed project phasing in order to
ensure that any adverse impacts to local roads in
residential areas are avoided or adequately mitigated.

Old Town Temecula came into being in the 1880's as a stop on the
first railroad line to San Diego. Old Town represents the largest
concentration of historic buildings within the community. The
City adopted the Old Town Specific Plan in 1994 to preserve and
enhance this historic district. The primary goal of the Specific Plan
is to create a dynamic "Old Town" commercial and residential core
that is attractive and of high quality, respectful of its historic
buildings and unifying design theme and providing an
economically viable setting for a mixture of local and tourist
commercial uses, administrative/professional and residential uses
with safe, efficient circulation and access. Policies and programs for
Old Town are included in the General Plan as well, to emphasize
the importance of this area within the City, and to establish the
area's role in Temecula's future.

PURPOSE OF THE
CIRCULATION
ELEMENT
4&
CIR.CULATION
ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Circulation Element describes how Temecula residents
and local employees get around using automobiles, public
transit and bicycles on sidewalks, trails, and current and
future railways. A well-developed system of local roadways
provides access to and circulation within many residential areas of
the City. The City has made substantial efforts in recent years to
improve traffic conditions on local roadways, and to encourage
alternative means of travel. However, Temecula needs better
roadway circulation between residential areas and
commercial/employment centers, and more efficient connections to
regional transportation routes. Pass-through traffic accessing these
regional routes from unincorporated areas is also a significant
concern. Effective solutions are needed to manage the growth of
surrounding areas, provide circulation alternatives for current and
future residents, and improve this critical aspect of quality of life.
The City strives to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on
roadways, to provide useful travel alternatives to the automobile,
and to provide better access to regional travel routes.
Accomplishing these objectives requires effective land use planning,
roadway monitoring and improvement, transportation system and
demand management, and regional coordination. The policies and
programs in this Element emphasize maintenance of a balanced,
multi-modal transportation system that responds to the demands of
current and planned land uses, as set forth in the Land Use
Element. The Element also addresses the high levels of pass-through
traffic associated with development in surrounding areas that
accesses Interstate 15 through the City.
The Circulation Element is firmly linked to the Land Use Element
as the uses identified on the Land Use Policy Map provide the basis
for determining future roadway improvements. Moreover, planned
roadway alignments can influence or even determine future land
uses along arterials within the City. The Circulation policies and
plans attempt to ensure that current transportation facilities will be
improved and new facilities will be constructed to adequately serve
traffic generated by planned development. An efficient and well

The Circulation Element provides the foundation for the Citywide
Multi-Use Trail and Bikeway system, offering both recreational and
commuting opportunities to City residents. Provision of a Multi-
Use Trail system also relates to the Air Qyality Element because the
trail system supports walking and bicycling, both of which reduce
demands placed on the automobile transportation system and
improve air quality.
State General Plan guidelines suggest that Circulation Element
policies and plans:
.:. Coordinate transportation and circulation systems with planned
land uses
.:. Promote the safe and efficient transport of goods and the safe
and effective movement of all populations
.:. Make efficient use of existing transportation facilities
.:. Protect environmental quality and promote the wIse and
equitable use of economic and natural resources
The Circulation Element addresses the City's anticipated future
transportation and circulation needs in the context of the following
topics:
.:. Roadway Circulation
.:. Traffic Safety
.:. Regional Mobility
.:. Transportation System and Demand Management
.:. Parking
.:. Non-Motorized and Alternative Circulation
.:. Truck Circulation
Along with the circulation system, State law requires infrastructure
to be addressed in the General Plan. Rather than treat public
utilities within the Circulation Element, utilities and public services
are addressed in the Growth Management and Public Facilities

MEASURlNG
TRAmc FLow
Within the Circulation Element, two measures are used to describe
traffic flow on Temecula's roadways and freeway access points:
Volume to Capacity Ratios 01/c) and Intersection Capacity
Utilization (ICU). These measures are used to establish Level of
Service (LOS) categories describing the performance of roadways
and access points throughout the community. Each of these
measures is described briefly below.
VOLUME TO CAPACITY RATIO 01/c)
This measure, consisting of a ratio between volume and theoretic
capacity, is used to measure the performance of roadway facilities.
Volume is established either by a traffic count (in. the case of
current volumes) or by a forecast for a future point in time.
Capacity refers to the vehicle carrying ability of a roadway at free
flow speed, and is a critical component of roadway design. For
example, a roadway that carries 16,000 vehicles per day, with the
capacity to accommodate 20,000 vehicles per day at free flow speed,
has a VIC of 0.80.
INTERSECTION CAPACITY UTILIZATION (leU)
This measure is applied using peak hour volumes and considers the
geometric configuration of intersections when measuring capacity.
Intersection Capacity Utilization sums the. VIC ratios for the
critical movements of an intersection, and thus accounts for the
overall performance of intersections, which are the most critical
limitations within the City roadway system.
LEVEL OF SERVICE
Level of Service (LOS) describes the efficiency and quality of traffic
operations. Six categories of LOS - the letter designations A to F -
are used to identifY traffic conditions, with LOS A representing
excellent conditions and LOS F representing extreme congestion.
The LOS designations are based upon VIC ratios calculated for
freeway access ramps and roadway segments, as well as ICU values
calculated for intersections. Table G1 shows VIC and ICU ranges
and the corresponding LOS, with a description of corresponding
traffic conditions.

Transportation planning and management require cooperation and
coordination among many State, County and regional agencies.
Relevant agencies include Caltrans, the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCfC), the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG), and the South Coast Air
Qrality Management District (SCAQMD), which addresses air
quality issues associated with vehicle traffic. These agencies have
federal and State mandates to adopt transportation-related programs
that affect Temecula (and other jurisdictions throughout the area).

SCAG REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP)
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a multi-modal, long-
range planning document prepared by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG). The RTP includes programs
and policies for congestion management, transit, bicycles and
pedestrians, roadways, freight, and financing. The RTP is prepared
every three years to address a 20-year projection of needs.
Each agency responsible for building and managing transportation
facilities, including the City of Temecula, has implementation
responsibilities under the RTP. The RTP relies on local plans and
policies governing circulation and transportation to identify the
region's future multi-modal transportation system.
SoUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
The South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) mandates
a variety of measures to reduce traffic congestion and improve air
quality. The Circulation Element identifies Circulation Programs
to be implemented in Temecula that may help improve regional air
quality. The plan for the South Coast Air Basin, which includes
Temecula and western Riverside County, was prepared by the South
Coast Air Qiality Management District (SCAQMD) and SCAG.
RIVERSIDE COUNIT INTEGRATED PROJECT (ROP) / COMMUNITY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORTATION ACCEPTABILITY PROCESS
(Crr AP)
Western Riverside County is' projected to grow from a current
population of about 1.2 million to 2 million in 2020. In an effort
to improve the quality of life for current and future residents, the
County of Riverside, the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTe) and Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) embarked on a planning process to determine
future placement of buildings, roads and open spaces within the
County. This process was named the Riverside County Integrated
Project (RCIP) and resulted in three interrelated plans: a General
Plan for land use and housing, a Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP) to determine open spaces and
conservation areas, and the Community and Environmental
Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP), which identifies
improvements for highways and transit systems. The integration of
these distinct planning efforts will improve their ultimate
effectiveness.

The main goals of CETAP are to: 1) identifY and set aside areas for
major transportation facilities; 2) ensure that transportation
infrastructure will be in place to foster the economic development
of Riverside County; and 3) provide access to schools, jobs,
shopping and other daily activities. One major component of the
CETAP is to identifY a location for the Winchester to Temecula
Corridor, which will involve widening of both 1-15 and 1-215, as
well as construction of French Valley Parkway, connecting the
French Valley Future Growth Area to 1-215 and providing an
alternate freeway access point to Winchester Road. Other goals
include providing expanded rail service and express bus service
throughout Riverside County. Decisions reached through the
CETAP will affect transportation facilities and opportunities within
Temecula.

R.IVERSIDE COUNTY ClR.CULATION ELEMENT
The Riverside County Circulation Element forms part of the
County General Plan and is supposed to identifY the system of
regional arterials and bikeways in unincorporated portions of the
Planning Area.
The bikeways system is guided through the application of the
General Plan's policies, programs and standards in conjunction with
adopted bicycle routes. County designated Class I Bike Paths follow
the courses of Murrieta and Temecula Creeks. The City's
Circulation Plan calls for establishment and implementation of a
bikeway plan that links to County routes.
R.IVERSIDE COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PR.OGRAM
Urbanized areas such as Riverside County are required to adopt a
Congestion Management Program (CMP). The Riverside County
Congestion Management Program (CMP) is updated every two
years, pursuant to Proposition 111. The goals of the CMP are to
reduce traffic congestion, to improve air quality, and to provide a
coordination mechanism between land development and
transportation improvement decisions. The Congestion
Management Program is administered by the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC).
In 1997, RCTC significantly modified the original CMP to meet
federal Congestion Management System (CMS) guidelines. This
effort included development of an Enhanced Traffic Monitoring
System, in which real-time traffic count data can be accessed by

RCTC to evaluate the condition of the CMS, as well as meet other
monitoring requirements at the State and federal levels.
As a result, the submittal of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs) for
development proposals to RCTC is no longer required. However,
the City is required to maintain minimum LOS thresholds
identified in the General Plan and continues to require TIAs on
development projects.
MEAsUIli A, TRANSPORT ^ T10N IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
In 1988, Riverside County voters approved Measure A, a half-cent
sales tax program that creates funding for a wide variety of
transportation projects and services throughout Riverside County,
RCTC is responsible for administering the program. Measure A
dollars are spent in accordance with a voter-approved expenditure
plan that was adopted as part of the 1988 election, None of the
originally programmed improvement projects are located within
the Planning Area,
Riverside County voters approved an extension of the current
Measure A program for an additional 30 years in November, 2003,
Improvement projects within the Planning Area include adding one
lane in each direction to 1-15 within the Planning Area, and
constructing arterial connections between SR-79 and 1-215 at French
Valley Parkway and Clinton Keith Road,
TEMECULA FIVE YEAR. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City's Capital Improvement Program (ClP) is a planning tool
used to coordinate the financing and scheduling of major projects,
including transportation improvements, to be undertaken by the
City, Not all projects included in the ClP have budget approval.
The City's ClP is revised on an annual basis to meet changing
needs, priorities, and financial conditions,
The following CIP designated projects have particular relevance to
the Circulation Element:

Temecula has adopted a Trip Reduction Ordinance, pursuant to the
requirements of the State Health and Safety Code. The Ordinance
enables the City to receive revenues from State vehicle registration
fees to administer air pollution reduction programs. The Municipal
Code also mandates the provision of carpool, bicycle, rideshare,
van pool, transit, child care, transportation system management,
and/or telecommuting facilities for both new and current
development projects within the City where 100 or more persons
are employed. Strategies to provide these facilities are detailed in
Trip Reduction Plans (TRPs) prepared by employers, either as a
condition of development review, or upon issuance of a business
license. Businesses with fewer than 100 employees are also
encouraged to participate on a voluntary basis.

ROADWAY
CtRCULA TION
TEMECULA MULTI-USE TRAILS AND BIKEWAYS MAsTER PLAN
The Temecula Multi-Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan is a
separate document from the General Plan that provides a number
of options to implement the general policy direction established by
the General Plan. Key aspects of the adopted Master Plan are
incorporated within the Circulation and Open Space/Conservation
Elements of the General Plan. However, due to changes to the
standard roadway cross-sections, the location and feasibility of
providing future bike lanes may need to be re-evaluated.
CIRCULATION PLAN
Temecula's circulation network consists of roadways, transit
services, multi-use trails and bikeways, and air Jraffic at French
Valley Airport. Other facilities, such as park-and-ride lots, transit
shelters, and public and private parking lots support these methods
of traveL The Circulation Plan is carried out by goals, policies, and
implementation programs presented at the conclusion of the
Circulation Element.
Roadway and alternative mode mobility plans have been designed
that provide adequate capacity to accommodate travel needs
resulting from development pursuant to the Land Use Element
within the Temecula Planning Area, as well as attempting to
anticipate future development in the County of Riverside, and the
City of Murrieta.
Roadways in Temecula are defined using a hierarchical classification
system. Each type of roadway is described by size, function, and
capacity. The Circulation Plan establishes eight types of roadways,
ranging from eight-lane high capacity divided roadways to two-lane
undivided roadways. Some roadway types will have a standard rural
cross-section for use in selected areas. The standard roadway
classifications are listed in Table G2, and described in the
paragraphs that follow. The typical non-intersection cross sections
are illustrated in Figure Gl. Additional rights-of:way (beyond the
standard width) may be required at higher volume intersections and
to provide for safe turning movements.
FREEWAY
Interstate 15 freeway design standards are dictated by Caltrans
District 8. Interchange improvements identified in the Circulation
Plan will need to be coordinated and approved by Caltrans.

URBAN ARTERIALS
Urban Arterials are eight-lane roadways with raised landscaped
medians. In some circumstances, ten lanes may be required. Access
to Urban Arterials may vary depending on where the facility is
located within the City, but is typically limited to adjacent
commercial properties at signal-controlled intersections. Generally,
one-quarter mile intersection spacing should be considered as a
minimum. Where overriding circumstances will not allow the
desired intersection spacing policy to be met, left turn restrictions
should be considered at all unsignalized intersections and "high-
speed" design features should be incorporated into the intersection
design (e.g. curb radii and acceleration/deceleration lanes where
appropriate.) In most situations, bicycle lanes will not be provided
along Urban Arterials when alternate routes are available.
Curbside parking is prohibited. Traffic carrying capacities of
70,000+ vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of
access control, peak period traffic loadings, and lane configurations
at the major intersections.
PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS
Principal Arterials are six lane roadways with raised landscaped
medians. Desirable minimum spacing for street intersections along
a Principal Arterial is approximately one quarter mile. Un signalized
minor street and driveway access may be allowed but signalized
access is preferred, and left-turn restrictions are typically placed at
unsignalized access locations.
Curbside parking is prohibited. Traffic carrying capaCities of
54,000I vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree of
access control, peak period loadings, and lane configurations at the
major intersections.

landscaped medians. Minimum spacing for intersections along

Major Arterial streets should be one-eighth mile. Left turn
restrictions will generally be placed at minor unsignalized
driveways.
As a primary traffic carrier, curbside parking may not be
appropriate along some of the more heavily traveled Major Arterial
street segments within the City. Traffic carrying capacities of
36,000:t vehicles per day can be achieved depending on the degree
of access control and peak period loadings.
SECONDARY ARTERw.5
Secondary Arterials are four-lane roadways without medians
(undivided). Minimum intersection spacing along Secondary
Roadways should be approximately one-sixteenth mile (330 feet).
Direct access from private residential properties should be avoided
where possible unless medians can be provided at such access
points.
While the Secondary Arterial provides for curbside parking, such
parking should be prohibited near intersections where left-turn lane
striping is provided. In some locations, secondary arterials may
include a limited median, or be re-striped to provide a left-turn
. pocket. While the Secondary Arterial provides for curbside parking,
there may be localized circumstances which would warrant parking
restrictions. Traffic carrying capacities of 30,000:t vehicles per day
can be achieved depending on the degree of access allowed and peak
period traffic loadings.
MODIFIED SECONDARY AR TERw.5
Along DePortola Road between Santiago and Margarita Roads, a
Modified Secondary Arterial cross-section is anticipated. This cross-
section is intended to help preserve the rural character of the area,
while accommodating local circulation needs.
LIMITED SECONDARY ARTERw.5
A Limited Secondary Arterial features two lanes with a median
within a similar right-of-way to the four-lane Secondary Arterial.
The reduced cross-section anticipates one lane in each direction,
with the potential to add a left turn pocket, and separated trail.
This designation is used on Secondary Arterial roadways that feature
a more rural appearance and have lower traffic volumes. T raffie
carrying capacity is around 20,000:t vehicles per day.

Collector streets often provide access to local streets from the
arterial roadway network. Collectors are two-lane roadways that
sometimes have painted medians for left turn movements.
The right-of-way width for collectors varies from 66 feet to 78 feet,
depending on location within the City. Direct access from
individual private residential properties should be avoided where
possible. The 78 foot cross sections are typically applied to
Collectors located within light industrial and commercial areas,
whereas a smaller dimension may be appropriate for residential
areas. The desirable intersection spacing for Collectors is
approximately 330 feet. Minimum intersection/access spacing on
all Collector facilities should be 200 feet.
Collectors provide for curbside parking. Parking should be
restricted near. intersection approaches where a separate right-turn
lane is provided. Traffic carrying capacities of 16,000:t vehicles per
day can be achieved depending on the degree of access control and
peak period traffic loadings. Not all collector streets are shown on
the Circulation Plan.
RURAL HIGHWAYS
The Rural Highway standard may be applied to roads within Rural
Preservation Areas (RPAs) identified in the Land Use Element, as
well as semi-rural neighborhoods within the City. Surrounding
areas are primarily designated as Vineyards/Agriculture, Hillside,
Rural, Very Low, or Low Density Residential in the General Plan.
Rural Highways feature a two lane 50-foot curb-to-curb cross section
within a right of way of 88 to 150 feet or more. For safety reasons,
left turn lanes may be required at major access points (such as
intersections) and the 50-foot curb-to-curb width allows this to
occur without the need for additional pavement width. Bike lanes
can be located along only one side of the roadway to form a
continuous system along each street, when needed. Minimum
intersection/access spacing along Rural Highways should be
approximately one-sixteenth of a mile (330 feet). Direct access from
private residential properties should be avoided where possible. The
carrying capacity of Rural Highways is approximately 20,000
vehicles per day. This relatively high capacity can be achieved due
to few signalized intersections and minimum side friction.

The intent of the Rural Highway classification is to preserve
sufficient right,of-way for construction of future Secondary, Major
or Principal Arterials, while enabling use of these facilities to
support rural development in the short term. Should future traffic
volumes on streets constructed to a Rural Highway standard reach
the threshold noted above, the roadway should be improved to full
arterial standards.
LOCAL STREETS
Local Streets are two-lane roadways without medians. Centerline
striping is typically not provided, and curbside parking is allowed.
Minimum intersection spacing on Local Streets should be
approximately 200 feet and curbside parking should be provided.
Traffic carrying capacity is physically similar to a Collector
roadway, however the qualitative limit of acceptable traffic volumes
in a residential environment is substantially lower (less than 5,000
vehicles per day). Local streets are not shown on the Circulation
Plan.
ItOADWAY DIMENSIONS
Figure C-l shows schematic cross-sections of each category of
roadway. These sections represent the desirable standards, but
variations in right-of-way width and specific roadway improvements
will occur in certain cases due to physical constraints and/or right-
of-way limitations. In some situations, additional right-of-way may
be required for bikeways and trails.
The roadway classifications may deviate from the standards where
physical constraints exist, where preservation of community
character dictates special treatment, or on approaches to Principal
Intersections (discussed later in this Element). Bikeways and
sidewalks also affect the specific standards applied to various
roadways. However, the overriding circulation goal is that all
roadways carry the designed volumes of traffic at desired
performance levels. In addition, the median width of Major and
Secondary roadways will vary according to the area being served,
right-of-way constraints and turn-lane requirements.

In most cases, the right-of-way shown on the mid-block cross-
sections in Figure G 1 will be adequate to accommodate the
through and left turn lanes shown in Table G3. Right turn lanes
will typically require some additional right-of-way on one side (the
entering side of the intersection). The ~dditional right-of-way shall
be a minimum of six feet (10 feet is preferable), and shall extend
for at least 250 feet back from the intersection curb face.
PER.FORMANCE CIUTERlA
Evaluating the ability of the circulation system to serve Temecula's
residents and businesses requires establishing suitable performance
criteria. Performance criteria have a policy component that
establishes a desired level of service (LOS) and a technical
component that specifies how traffic forecast data can be used to
measure criteria achievement.
The performance criteria used for evaluating volumes and capacities
on the City street system are based on peak hour intersection data,
since intersections are the primary limiting factor affecting traffic
flow on City roadways. Performance criteria for freeway ramps
accessing I-IS are based on VIC ratios for each ramp. The
performance standards are summarized in Table C4.
TABLE C-4
C1R.CULATION SYSTEM PffiFORMANCE CR.ITffiIA
Peak Hour Intersection Criteria
Intersection capacity utilization (ICU) not to exceed 0.90 (LOS D)
Saturation flow rate 1,750 vehicles per hour per lane
Clearance interval 0.101CU
Peak Hour Freeway Ramp Criteria
Volume-to-capacity (VIe) ratio not to exceed 1.00 (LOS E)
Source: Austin-Foust Associates, Inc., September 2003.
The City of Temecula has an intersection capacity performance
standard of 0.90 lCU for peak hour intersection operation impacts.
This standard means that an intersection is operating at 90 percent
of its capacity, corresponding to LOS D. In addition to this lCU
analysis, freeway ramps require a special traffic operations analysis.
For freeway ramps, the maximum peak hour VIC is 1.00.

GENERAL PLAN ROADWAY SYSTEM
Circulation Element goals and policies emphasize the need for a
better circulation system, capable of serving both current and future
local and regional traffic. The Roadway Plan for the Temecula
Planning Area is illustrated in Figure G2. Alignments shown for
future planned roadways are preliminary and are subject to
refinement based on future engineering studies. The Roadway Plan
accommodates anticipated traffic levels and the hierarchical roadway
classification system is used to avoid community impacts. Roadway
improvements needed to achieve performance criteria and avoid
roadway and intersection impacts within the Planning Area are
prioritized, funded, and completed using the City's 5-year Capital
Improvement Plan process.

'I
PRINOPAL INTERSECTIONS
The orientation of Temecula's street system funnels many trips
through a few key intersections. Failure of these intersections to
perform at adopted performance standards significantly impairs the
overall effectiveness of the transportation network. Principal
Intersections identified by the City as critical to the function of the
entire local and regional transportation network are regularly
monitored and priority is given to them in implementing roadway
improvements.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Right-of-way and roadway widths specified in Table G2 shall vary
on all approaches to Principal Intersections identified by the City to
accommodate intersection improvements, such as full width
auxiliary turn lanes and/or dual-left turn lanes, as needed. Parking
shall also be restricted on all approaches to Principal Intersections,
to ensure adequate space to develop such improvements.

Western Riverside County has grown at a tremendous rate over the
past two decades, and a high rate of continued growth is expected.
Effective regional transportation strategies are needed to
successfully implement City and County plans accommodating
future growth. Such strategies must link T emecula with other
regional employment and commercial centers, as well as airports
and other transportation hubs, and should include alternative
modes of travel. T emecula is well connected to the regional vehicle
circulation system, but lacks effective alternatives to the
automobile.
Interstate 15 bisects the western portion of the Planning Area and
provides connections to other regional freeways in Riverside
County, San Diego County, San Bernardino County and beyond.
Interstate 215, located north of the Planning Area, provides direct
access to the communities of Moreno Valley and Riverside. SR-79
North provides access to Hemet and San Jacinto, while SR-79 South
provides access to eastern Riverside and San Diego Counties. No
regional or national passenger rail service is provided in T emecula.
The Winchester to Temecula Corridor, which is currently being
planned in the CETAP process, is expected to provide additional
freeway access and capacity. This corridor involves widening both l-
IS and 1-215, as well as construction of French Valley Parkway,
connecting the French Valley Future Growth Area to 1-215 and
providing an alternate freeway access point to Winchester Road. In
addition, proposed regional improvements included in the Measure
A Extension would provide additional access to 1-215 at Clinton
Keith Road. As a result, some local transportation patterns may
change as traffic using 1-15 and 1-215 is redirected from Winchester
Road to these alternate routes.
Ensuring adequate regional circulation for residents and businesses
will require coordination with regional and State transportation
planning efforts. To achieve this, the City will work with partners
such as Caltrans, Riverside Transit Agency, the Western Riverside
Council of Governments, the City of Murrieta, the Pechanga Band,
and the County of Riverside to pursue opportunities for light rail
or high speed rail service, and to improve access to regional
freeways.

TRUCK
CIRCULATION
Efficiency of the circulation system will be maximized with.
transportation system management (TSM) and transportation
demand management (ruM) strategies. TSM involves physical
improvements to the circulation infrastructure to expand capacity
and increase traffic flow, while TDM involves reducing the demand
for vehicular transportation. In addition to enhancing the
operation of the circulation system, TSM and TDM strategies
provide relief from increasing demands for more improvements to
transportation facilities.

TSM and ruM solutions for Temecula include traffic signal
coordination and spacing, discouraging on-street parking along
Principal roadways, providing and maintaining bikeways and bike
lanes, and encouraging additional regional public transportation
services and support facilities, such as park and ride lots. ..
CLOSED STR.EETS
When Temecula incorporated in 1989, the citywide road network
was incomplete. The gaps in the road network forced through
traffic onto local streets. Higher traffic volumes and excessive
speeds generated numerous complaints and requests for City action.
In response, the City began approving street closures to minimize
potential conflicts. An unintended consequence of this was the
further concentration of vehicle trips onto a limited number of
arterial routes.
Since that time, the City's road network has undergone significant
improvement. The completion of Margarita Road, and
improvements to Rancho California, Winchester, and Ynez Roads
have all resulted in a more functional road network and better
traffic flow. However, to continue to improve local circulation, new
internal connecting routes are required in some areas to maximize
the capacity of the overall road network. These enhancements to
the local road network should be balanced with the need to
minimize outside through traffic onto local streets that provide
driveway access to single-family residences.
An efficient and effective goods movement system is essential to the
economic livelihood of the Temecula area. Trucking dominates
goods movement within and through the southern California
region. Temecula experiences moderate amounts of truck traffic
generated by commercial and light industrial uses on the west side
and agricultural and vineyard uses in the eastern portion of the
Planning Area.

Truck traffic is expected to continue to increase as new businesses
open in the community. Noise impacts and congestion can be
caused by truck traffic in urban areas. Such impacts are expected
on Temecula streets heavily used by trucks: including Diaz Road,
Jefferson Avenue, Winchester Road, Rancho California Road, I-IS,
SR-79 South and several Principal Collectors located west ofl-15.
A key component of Temecula's Circulation Plan is to promote the
use of alternative modes such as transit, bicycling and walking.
Increasing use of alternative modes produces a number of
community benefits, including reduced traffic, less need for costly
roadway improvement projects and improved air quality. Facilities
constructed for biking or walking provide important recreational
opportunities as well. Crossings of Interstate 15 that do not
include on- or off-ramps should incorporate additional bikeway
and pedestrian facilities.
PUBLIC TRANSIT
Public bus service in Temecula is currently provided by Riverside
Transit Agency (RTA), and will become an increasingly important
component of the transportation system. A well-balanced public
transportation system offers many benefits, including increased
mobility, energy savings, decreased pollution, and decreased
congestion through more efficient use of roadway capacity.
Public transportation first became available in Temecula in 1991
when RTA established a local transit route within Temecula and
initiated a pilot program providing commuter service between
T emecula and Corona with stops in Murrieta and Lake Elsinore.
To meet the needs of a growing population, public transit services
have since been expanded. Current routes serving Temecula are
shown on Figure G3, and Table G5 summarizes the approximate
origin and destination for each route.

In addition to local routes, RTA provides limited stop service to
Riverside, Corona, and Oceanside on CommuterLink. The City is
committed to ensuring that public transportation becomes and
remains a viable travel alternative to the automobile, and is taking
steps to ensure that transit accessibility is a foremost consideration
within new mixed use development proposals. To facilitate use of
these public transportation resources, the City will encourage the
development of park-and-ride lots along the 1-15 corridor and at
other locations within Temecula, and will seek to maximize
opportunities presented by joint-use of existing parking facilities.
MULTI-USE TRAILS AND BIKEWAYS
The City has an extensive network of multi-use trails providing
connections for pedestrians, equestrians and bicyclists. In addition
to the multi-use trails, many of Temecula's roadways are designed
to support bikeways of various types. The current and planned
system of multi-use trails and bikeways is shown on Figure G4.
Table G6 provides descriptions of the multi-use trails and bikeways
present within the City. Cross sections for each type of facility are
contained in Temecula's Multi-Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan.
The trail and bikeway system is composed of a network of Class I
off-road trails located parallel to roadways and within residential
subdivisions, and Class II and III bike lanes and routes located on
arterial roadways. In addition, the Riverside County bikeways plan
identifies a future Class I Regional Trail crossing the City from
north to south along the power transmission easement.
The City will continue to improve the bikeway system as new
roadways are constructed, and to build Class I facilities identified in
the Multi-Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. Many enhanced
local bicycle and pedestrian links are planned, and the City will
work to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety through application
of uniform trail standards and signs. Restrictions apply to
motorized vehicles accessing the trails network, and potential
conflicts between off-street bicycles and pedestrians will be
minimized through the construction of overhead trail crossings,
where feasible.

PARKING
PLANS IN ACTION
The City enforces parking

and shared or joint
parking in mixed use areas
and village centers.

Traffic accidents can have tragic impacts and can negatively affect
the lifestyle of Temecula residents if they occur on a routine or
repeated basis. Accidents typically occur as a result of driver
distractions, such as cell phones; excessive automobile speed; traffic
congestion; poorly-designed driveway/roadway interface areas;
and/or poor placement of pedestrian or bicycle facilities relative to
high-speed vehicle travel lanes.
Traffic safety problems are most acute at major intersections along
the SR-79 North and South corridors, freeway interchanges along l-
IS, and locations where vehicle traffic both occurs within short peak
periods, such as schools, churches, or community centers. The City
is committed to reducing porential traffic safety hazards through a
variety of improvement and education strategies.
. Parking typically is considered a separate issue from vehicle
circulation. However, the presence of on-street parking has a direct
effect on roadway capacity. In addition, off-street parking
deficiencies can cause vehicles to re-circulate on public streets, which
also increases traffic volumes and congestion by reducing capacity
for through traffic.
The City's Development Code includes parking requirements to
ensure that an adequate number of spaces are provided on-site for
most Uses. The Code also establishes minimum stall dimensions
consistent with current standards for other jurisdictions. These

GOALS AND POLICIES
Roadway congestion is a major concern to local residents and
businesses. The City responds to local concerns regarding roadway
congestion through the identification of acceptable performance
standards for City roadways and intersections, as well as access
points to regional highways, such as 1-15. The stated performance
standard serves as the foundation for providing a street network
that moves people and goods safely and efficiently throughout the
City while ensuring that traffic delays are kept to a minimum.

CONSER V A nON ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The rolling hills, championship golf courses, hot-air
ballooning activities, picturesque wineries and open space all
help define the character of Temecula and the lifestyle
preference of City residents, Protecting and enhancing these
defining features contribute to the quality of life desired by the
community,
The Open Space/Conservation Element contains goals and policies
to encourage the conservation and proper management of
community resources, Furthermore, the Element ensures the
provision of parks and recreation opportunities, as well as
preservation of cultural heritage for residents,
The purpose of the Open Space/Conservation Element is to:
.:. Assure continued availability of predominantly open land for
enjoyment of scenic beauty, for recreation, and to conserve
natural resources and agriculture;
.:. Guide development in order to make wise and prudent use of
natural, environmental, and cultural resources;
.:. Maintain and enhance valuable natural resource areas necessary
for the continued survival of significant wildlife and vegetation
through proactive open space planning;
.:. Provide the foundation for a comprehensive open space
management system involving designated categories of open
space;

State legislation mandates that an Open Space Element and a
Conservation Element be included in all local government general
plans. Due to the interrelationship of the goals and policies of the
Open Space Element and Conservation Element and the overlap in
State requirements, these two Elements are combined into a single
Element.
The Open Space Element contains goals and policies concerned
with managing all open space areas, including undeveloped
wilderness lands and outdoor recreation uses. The Government
Code defines that open space should be preserved for:
.:. Preservation of natural resources;
.:. Managed production of resources;
.:. Recreation; and
.:. Public health and safety.
These requirements ensure that cities and counties recogmze that
open space land is a limited valuable resource that must be
conserved wherever possible. They also assure that every local
jurisdiction prepare and carry out open-space plans which, along
with State and regional open space plans, accomplish the objectives
of a comprehensive open space program.
The Government Code requires a Conservation Element for the
conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources,
including water and its hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers, and
other waters, harbors, fisheries, wildlife, minerals, and other natural
resources. The Conservation Element may further address the
control of soil erosion, the conservation of watersheds, and flood
control methods to protect land in floodplains.
The Open Space/Conservation Element overlaps with proVISIOns
found in the Land Use, Public Safety, and Growth
Management/Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan.
However, it differs by being almost exclusively oriented toward
natural resources. The conservation component contains goals

State's resources in the T emecula Planning Area, These resources 0
include water, soils, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources P
that should be considered to prevent wasteful exploitation, E
degradation, and destruction, N
The Open Space/Conservation Element also incorporates goals and
policies related to parks and recreation, This section of the Element
focuses on the relationship of park space to the entire Temecula
open space system and on the dedication and provision of parkland,
trails, and recreation facilities.
A number of other plans and programs enacted through federal,
State and local legislation relate directly to the goals of the Open
Space/Conservation Element.
FEDERAL ENDANGERED SPECIF$ ACT
The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), administered by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, applies to federally listed species and
habitat occupied by federally listed species. ESA Section 9 forbids
specified acts that directly or indirectly harm listed species. Section
9 also prohibits "taking" any species of wildlife or fish listed as
endangered. These restriCtions apply to all federal agencies and all
persons subject to United States jurisdiction.
u.s. FISH AND WWLIFE SERVICE AND Sf ATE DEPARTMENT OF FISH
AND GAME REClllATIONS
Both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department
of Fish and Game have regulations to protect wildlife resources.
Special permits are required for alteration, dredging, or any activity
in a lake or stream, as well as other activities that may affect fish
and game habitat. Both agencies also regulate impacts to sensitive
plant and animal species. Future development in Temecula that has
the potential to affect wildlife habitat will be subject to the
regulations of these federal and State agencies.

NATIONAL POlLUfANf DISCHARGE EuMlNATION SYSTFM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit, a requirement under the Clean Water Act, addresses
pollution from urban runoff that impacts water quality of receiving
waters (such as streams and lakes). Under NPDES, each jurisdiction
must take measures to reduce urban runoff during all phases of
development: planning, construction, and operation. Requirements
include incorporating Best Management Practices to reduce runoff
from construction and operation, reporting any violations to the
San Diego Regional Water Qlality Control Board (SDRWQCB)
and education regarding the negative water quality impacts from
urban runoff.
CALIFoRNIA fNvIR.ONMENT AL QllALITY ACT
The California Environmental Qlality Act (CEQA) was adopted by
the State legislature in response to a public mandate for thorough
environmental analysis of projects impacting the environment. The
provisions of the law and environmental review procedures are
described in the CEQA statutes and CEQA Guidelines. CEQA will
continue to be instrumental in ensuring that the environmental
impacts associated with local development projects are appropriately
assessed and mitigated.

CALiFORNIA SUBDIVISION MAP Acr
Section 66477 of the Government Code provides local jurisdictions
with the authority to acquire parklands in association with new land
divisions. This provision of State law allows a city, by ordinance, to
require the dedication of land, dedication of improvements,
payment of an in-lieu fee, or any combination of these items, for
park and recreational purposes as a condition on approving a
subdivision map. These provisions have also been included in a
local ordinance.
em OF TEMEClILA PARKS AND RECREATION MAsTER PLAN
The City has prepared a Master Plan of Parks and Recreation to
comprehensively address the long-term park and recreation needs of
residents. The Master Plan contains: a) current and projected
recreational needs; b) park development and design standards; c) a
park and trails classification system; d) parks, trails and recreation
facilities improvements; e) target locations for acquisition of future
parkland; future trail connections to the regional trail system; f) a
Citywide bicycle route and recreation trails system; g) timing and
phasing of parks, recreation facilities and trails; and h) cost
estimates for park acquisition and development costs. The Master
Plan will support implementation of the goals and policies in the
Open Space/Conservation Element.
em OF TEMEClILA MULTI-USE TRAIl.5 AND BIKEWAYS MAsTER
PLAN
The City has also completed a trail master plan to address local trail
and bikeway needs. The Plan establishes a trail network and sets
facility standards for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian users. The
Master Plan also addresses trail connections to the countywide trail
network. The Multi-Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan further
supports implementation of the goals and policies of the Open
Space/Conservation Element.

The Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP) IS a comprehensive, multi-
jurisdictional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) focusing on
conservation of species and their associated habitats in Western
Riverside County. This Plan is one of several large, multi-
jurisdictional habitat-planning efforts in Southern California, with
the overall goal of maintaining biological and ecological diversity
within a rapidly urbanizing region. The MSHCP will allow
Riverside County and the cities within the County to better control
local land-use decisions and maintain a strong economic climate in
the region while addressing the requirements of the State and federal
Endangered Species Acts.

the crest of the San Jacinto Mountains to the Orange County line.
It includes the cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Canyon
Lake, Norco, Corona, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Banning,
Beaumont, Calimesa, Perris, Hemet, and San Jacinto. The HCP
covers multiple species and multiple habitats within a diverse
landscape, from urban centers to undeveloped foothills and forests,
under multiple jurisdictions. The Plan extends across many
bioregions, including the Santa Ana Mountains, Riverside
Lowlands, San Jacinto Foothills, San Jacinto Mountains, Agua Tibia
Mountains, Desert Transition, and San Bernardino Mountains and
establishes a coordinated implementation program to preserve
biological diversity and maintain the region's quality of life.
NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARK AssocIATION
The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is a
membership organization that focuses on advancing parks,
recreation and environmental conservation efforts that enhance the
quality of life for all people. The NRPAprovides many services
related to parks and recreation, including the development of youth
programs, parks and recreation career information, safety and
education. The NRPA also publishes national guidelines for parks
and recreation development and conservation.

OPEN SPAcFlCoNSER V AllON PLAN
The Open Space/Conservation Element establishes an approach to
protect and enhance Temecula's park, recreation trail, water,
biological, energy, open space, historical and cultural, agricultural,
and other resources.
Parks and recreational facilities offer a broad range of benefits for
residents including:
.:. Improving health and wellness, building self esteem, reducing
stress and providing opportunities for learning, and living a
more balanced productive life.
.:. Building stronger families and enhancing community spirit.
.:. Protecting open space areas and natural resources, enhancing air
and water quality, providing and protecting wildlife habitat, and
improving overall community livability.
.:. Attracting business relocation and expansion, contributing to a
healthy and productive work force, attracting tourists and
retirees and enhancing real estate values.
The City of Temecula owns 31 parks with a total of area of
approximately 200 acres and about 60,000 square feet of recreational
space. These facilities include two recreation centers, an outdoor
amphitheater, a gymnasium, two swimming pools, a senior center,
as well as the Temecula Valley and Temecula Children's Museums.
Table OS-I provides a summary of the existing parks and
recreational facilities within Temecula. Locations of these parks and
facilities are shown on Figure OS-I.
Temecula has 22 neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks are
intended to provide for the daily recreation needs of residents in the
immediate area of the park. The neighborhood park usually serves
residents within a half-mile radius. The optimum size of the park is
from three to ten acres. The facilities should include open field
play areas, picnic areas and tot lots. Neighborhood parks should be
easily accessible by pedestrians and bicyclists.

historic chapel.
The City has a joint-use agreement with the Temecula Valley
Unified School District which allows the City to light and utilize
school facilities. These facilities are generally open to the public
during non-school hours, weekends and vacations, and as such are
considered adjuncts to the citywide park system. The following
school sites are presently joint-use facilities:
.:. Temecula Middle School (Illuminated baseball and soccer
fields)
.:. Temecula Elementary School (Pool)
.:. Temecula Valley High (Illuminated tennis courts)
.:. Chaparral High School (Pool)
Private recreation facilities are found primarily in planned
communities and apartment complexes. These facilities usually
include tennis or basketball courts. The existing facilities are
limited, but they help meet the demand for parks and recreation
facilities within the community.
Several commercial recreation facilities,
including three golf courses, are located
within the City and Planning Area.
These facilities include the Temecula
Creek Inn Golf Resort, Temeku Hills
Golf Course, and the Redhawk Golf
Club.

Temecula residents can also enjoy the 600-acre Lake Skinner .
Regional Park, located several miles east of Temecula. The park 0
offers overnight camping, fishing, swimming, sailing, picnicking, P
and other activities. Additional regional recreation facilities include E
the Cleveland National Forest to the southeast of the City. The N
U:S. Forest Service is responsible for the long-term management of
recreation activities, vegetation, water and air quality, wilderness
resources, fire safety, historical and cultural resources, and land use
within forest boundaries. Demand for the types of activities and
experiences offered in the Cleveland National Forest is strong.
The basic park acreage standard for the City of Temecula is 5.0 acres
of usable City-owned parkland per 1,000 residents. This standard
does not include special use facilities, natural open space or trails.
Sufficient acreage to meet the needs of residents is anticipated by
the year 2013 through the acquisition and dedication of parks and
school facilities within specific plan areas.
Protection of water quality and the
adequate water supplies are critical for
the health and quality of life of
Temecula residents, employees, and
visitors. Within Temecula, surface
waters requiring conservation and
management to protect quality and
quantity include the Santa Margarita River, Temecula
Murrieta Creek, Pechanga Creek, and Santa Gertrudis Creek.
Creek,
Surface water sources are subject to pollutants and sediment carried
in runoff. Pollutants such as heavy metals, petroleum products,
animal waste, and trash can be carried through the storm drain
system into receiving waters. These pollutants affect the beneficial
uses of the receiving waters, including recreation, aesthetic
enjoyment and preservation of fish and wildlife habitat.
To address the problem of urban runoff, the Clean Water Act was
amended in 1987. One of the amendments included the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit (NPDES). This permit
requires jurisdictions to enforce requirements reducing polluted
urban runoff during all phases of development.

for the community through
program coordination with
RCWD and EMWD, as
well as other responsible
regiona4 State, and federal
agenCleJ.
The local ground water basin is the Murrieta-Temecula Basin, which
is the largest groundwater basin in the San Diego water region. This
aquifer is recharged by underflow, surface flow from the creeks in
the area, and by direct precipitation in the valley.

Water drawn from underground aquifers may be susceptible to
pollutants originating at industrial sites. Water from wells is treated
and examined regularly to ensure public safety. One well is known
to be contaminated with MTBE and is being rehabilitated. Other
wells will be rehabilitated to meet new standards as they are
established.
Water quality is a regional issue regulated at the county, State and
federal levels. The Rancho California Water District (RCWD)
supplies most of the domestic and commercial water to Temecula,
paid for by user fees. Water supply to the City is drawn from the
Murrieta-Temecula groundwater basin and supplemented with
imported water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
Other sources include reclaimed water and untreated MWD water
used for groundwater recharge. The current and future projected
distribution of water sources are provided below. The local water
agency expects that there will not be a shortage of water supplies in
the future.

The City is also served by the Eastern Municipal Water District
(EMWD), which derives its water primarily from MWD but also
draws groundwater from its wells in the Hemet and San Jacinto
area. Some of these wells have limited production as a result of the
Fruitvale Judgment and Decree, which limits the amount the
Fruitvale Mutual Water Company, now part of EMWD, can
withdraw from these wells. The current distribution of EMWD
water sources is provided in Table 05-3. EMWD also has wells

Although much of Temecula is
comprised of urbanized and/or
disturbed areas that generally
have low habitat value for native
wildlife, a great variety of
sensitive biological resources are
known to exist or potentially
exist within remaining
undeveloped portions of the
Planning Area. Some sensitive
biological resources, as well as wildlife corridors are found in the
City. Sensitive resources in the Planning Area are closely associated
with coastal sage scrub and riparian communities. In general,
identified resources are threatened, deteriorated or damaged
primarily due to the effects of urbanization, hillside agriculture and
an expanding population base.
Thirteen vegetation communities have been identified within the
Temecula Planning Area. Native vegetation communities include: a)
Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub, b) Riversidian Sage Scrub, c)
Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, d) Disturbed Alluvial, e)
Chaparral, f) Vernal Pool, g) Southern Cottonwood-willow
Riparian, h) Southern Sycamore-alder Riparian Woodland, i)
Riparian Scrub, j) Mule Fat Scrub, k) Southern Willow Scrub and
1) Oak Woodland. Four additional categories, consisting primarily
of non-native vegetation with reduced biological value, were also
identified within the Planning Area. Non-native Grassland is
considered to be a semi-native vegetation community because
remnants of these other vegetation communities may be found in
grassland areas. These categories also include areas of Open Water/
Reservoir/Pond, Residential/Urban/Exotic lands, Field Croplands
and Groves/Orchards.

Temecula is located within the Western Riverside County Multiple
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) area. The overall
biological goal of the MSHCP is to maintain and restore biological
diversity and natural ecosystem processes that support diversity in
natural areas within Western Riverside County known to support
threatened, endangered or key sensitive populations of plant and
wildlife species. The MSHCP identifies five geographic locations
within the planning area that contain potential regional wildlife
corridor linkages, including French Valley, Lower Tucalota Creek,
T emecula Creek, Pechanga Creek, and Murrieta Creek.
Sensitive habitats in the T emecula
Planning A:1ea include, but are
not limited to: a) alkali sink
scrub; b) native grassland; c)
alkali meadows; d) alkali and
freshwater seeps; e) freshwater
marshes; f) vernal pools; g)
riparian vegetation including
cottonwood-willow riparian forests, willow riparian forests, coast
live oak riparian forest, southern sycamore riparian woodland;
southern riparian scrub, and riparian herb communities; h) coast
live oak woodland; and i) Englemann oak woodland. These
vegetative communities are considered important for sustaining an
ecologically viable habitat in the region.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (April 2003), the following plant
species that were historically located in
the Planning Area are endangered: the
slender-horned spineflower, California
Orcutt grass, and Munz's onion. In
addition, the following animal species are listed by the federal
government as endangered and/or by the State government as
threatened: Stephens' kangaroo rat, California gnatcatcher,
southwestern pond turtle, orange-throated whiptail lizard, and
Riverside fairy shrimp. The Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973
prohibits any action tha.t would harm, harass, kill, or further
endanger a listed species or its habitat.

The historic core ofTemecula is in Old Town, This area contained
the first railroad station and civic uses, and constituted all of 0
Temecula until the 1950's, The City adopted the Old Town Specific P
Plan in 1994 to protect the remaining historic structures and E
maintain the area's historic character, The City continues to work N
with the local historical society to identifY and protect significant
historic resources outside of the Old Town area.
Agriculture and related activities
form a large portion of Riverside
County's economic base. Riverside
County ranks ninth among
Counties in California in terms of
agricultural production. Riverside
County is divided into four
agricultural districts: Coachella
Valley, Palo Verde Valley, Riverside/Corona

and
San
The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP)
administered by the California Department of Conservation assigns
one of four designations to significant farmlands: Prime Farmlands,
Farmlands of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmlands and
Farmlands of Local Importance. Urban growth pressures in
Riverside County in recent decades have resulted in the conversion
of farmland to urban uses. Table 054 summarizes the changes in
agricultural land in Riverside County between 2000 and 2002.
Riverside County had 13,166 fewer arces of farmland in 2002 than
in 2000. Most of this loss was due to urbanization.

Riverside County designates all properties with Williamson Act
contracts as Agricultural Preserves. Under a Williamson Act
contract, the local jurisdiction and landowners agree to continue
agricultural activities for at least ten years. In return, the
jurisdiction agrees to assess the property at agricultural value rather
than at market value. Termination of the contract may be initiated
by either the property owner or jurisdiction.
There are currently 18 wineries located in and adjacent to the
eastern Planning Area. These wineries constitute the most
important wine-making region in Southern California, and make
important contributions to the City in terms of trade, tourism and
the aesthetic character of the area. The farmland and wineries in the
Planning Area offer opportunities for both agricultural innovation
and business development within the City.
Recreation or transportation-oriented trails for walking, horseback
riding, and bicycling provide City residents and visitors with
increased opportunity for physical activities. Exercise gained in

Because of the relatively dispersed land use and development
patterns that have shaped T emecula, the trail and bikeway system
would indeed be primarily for recreational use, but it is intended to
serve a commuting purpose as well. People who currently commute
by bike will benefit from future planned system expansions,
especially those that may include more bike-friendly crossings of l-
IS.
The City has just completed a Multi-Use Trails and Bikeways Master
Plan. In planning for future bike and recreation trail facilities,
residents have expressed a strong desire for well-defined trails that
link with regional routes and connect neighborhoods to parks,
schools and commercial uses. Residents place a high priority on the
development of trails that provide loops wherever possible and
follow creeks and utility easements where feasible.
The current and planned system of multi-use trails and bikeways is
illustrated in the Circulation Element on Figure C-4. Trail and
Bikeway standards are illustrated in the Multi-Use Trails and
Bikeways Master Plan.
The City is within close proxImIty to the Palomar Observatory
which requires unique nighttime lighting restrictions. Generally,
Observatory sites need to be 30 to 40 miles from large lighted areas
so that the nighttime sky will not be brightened.
The City has adopted an ordinance restricting night-time lighting
for areas within a IS-mile radius and a 4S-mile radius of Palomar
Observatory. Southeastern portions of the Planning Area are within
a IS-mile radius of the Observatory and are subject to

State law requires the General Plan to
address the need for conserving
mineral resources within the General
Plan Planning Area. The State
Division of Mines and Geology has
prepared mineral resource reports
designating the mineral deposits of
Statewide or regional significance that are to be used to address
mineral resources within the Planning Area. The report entitled,
Mineral Land Classification qfthe Temescal Valley Area, Riverside County
CalifOrnia, Special Report 165, evaluates the mineral deposits of the
T emecula Planning Area. This report was prepared in accordance
with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975,
The State Geologist has classified areas into Mineral Resource Zones
(MRZ) and Scientific Resource Zones (SZ). The zones identifY the
Statewide or regional significance of mineral deposits based on the
economic value of the deposits and accessibility. Within the
Temecula Planning Area, the zoning classification of MRZ-3a has
been applied by the State. MRZ-3 areas contain sedimentary
deposits that have the potential to supply sand and gravel for
concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, these areas are
not considered to contain deposits of significant economic value,
based on available data.

A quality parks and recreation system is a high priority for
Temecula residents. Implementation of a Parks and Recreation
Master Plan is critical to achieving this goal. The Master Plan
would strive to attain a balance between quantitative and qualitative
levels of service. This balance involves providing an acceptable
amount of useable parkland, in close proximity to residents, as well
as the appropriate type and number of facilities to meet the
recreation needs and desires of residents. The City's parks and
recreation facilities are supplemented by other local and regional
facilities, which may be influenced and fostered through inter-
governmental cooperation.
Goal 1
A high quality parks and recreation system that
meets the diverse recreation needs of residents.
Policy 1.1
Ensure sufficient parkland and recreation facilities to
support new development through acquisition
and/or dedication that meets the requirement for 5
acres of useable park land per 1,000 population.
Policy 1.2
Pursue the joint use of public lands available and
suitable for recreation purposes, including lands
under the jurisdiction of the Riverside County Flood
Control District, Southern California Edison, water
districts, school districts, and other public agencies.
Policy 1.3
Encourage the enhancement and preservation of
historic structures and landscape, and significant
natural features, such as riparian areas, rock
outcroppings, sensitive habitat areas, and viewpoints
through park design and site development.
Policy 1.4
Encourage public safety and compatibility with
adjacent uses in park design and development,
including location of buildings, activity areas,
lighting, and parking.

As the Temecula Planning Area approaches build-out, development
impacts on water resources and water quality may be significant.
The waterways within the community, particularly the Temecula,
Pechanga, Santa Gertrudis and Murrieta Creeks, and the Santa
Margarita River, provide for recreation and scenic enjoyment and
serve as habitats for sensitive plant and animal species.
Protecting these waterways from development impacts is critical to
conserving these invaluable resources, In addition, given Temecula's
reliance on groundwater, ensuring that recharge areas are protected
and water conservation measures implemented are important steps
to reduce the City's dependence on imported water.
Goal 2

The interrelationship between the built and natural environments
has a strong influence on the character and quality of life in
Temecula. Permanent dedication of open spaces in and around the
Planning Area should aim to conserve resources of significance,
provide recreational opportunities, and safeguard viable ecological
connections between significant natural areas. Preserving natural
resources helps maintain biological diversity; provide passive
recreation and educational opportunities; facilitate the maintenance
of natural, life-sustaining systems; and provide residents with the
opportunity to observe wildlife in natural environs. Wildlife
corridors can exist in conjunction with recreation trails and other
open space uses. This multiple function leverages the protection of
species of concern by simultaneously providing open space and
meeting the recreational needs of residents.
Goal 3
Conservation of important biological habitats and
protection of plant and animal species of concern,
wildlife movement corridors, and general
biodiversity.
Policy 3.1
Require development proposals to identifY
significant biological resources and provide
mitigation, including the use of adequate buffering
and sensitive site planning techniques, selective
preservation, provision of replacement habitats; and
other appropriate measures.
Policy 3.2
Work with State, regional and non-profit
and organizations to preserve and

significant contributions to local culture, history and public art.
Temecula's heritage lies in the abundance of historical and cultural
resources still remaining in the Planning Area. The City intends to
ensure that these resources are preserved because they provide a link
to the community's past, as well as a frame of reference for the
future.
Historic preservation should be pursued using a comprehensive

T emecula residents walk, hike, jog and bicycle more frequently than
participating in other forms of recreation. This level of interest is
significant considering that the City does not offer a formal,
developed trail system. Many opportunities remain for the City to
implement a recreation trail system concurrent with new
development, road improvements, and flood control improvements.

Palomar Observatory is owned and operated by the California
Institute of Technology (Caltech) and is used to support scientific
research programs. Light pollution is an increasing problem for
observatories everywhere. One of the reasons Palomar Mountain
was selected as the site for the ZOO-inch telescope was dark skies that
would allow observation of the faintest galaxies without the
interference of city lights. Rapid urbanization of southern
California has resulted in a significant increase in the amount of
sky glow. If such light pollution continues to increase, it will
seriously reduce the effectiveness of the Palomar Observatory.

INIRODUCTION
T emecula is a highly desirable community in which to live
and work. As a result, the City experienced substantial
growth during the past decade. To maintain quality of life
for residents and businesses, growth must be well-managed,
guided, and directed. The City must influence, directly or
indirectly, the amount, type (nature and mix of uses), pattern,
location, timing or phasing, density, intensity, and quality of
growth. The key factor distinguishing growth management from
land use planning in general is the deliberate intent to augment
market forces in shaping the pace and conditions under which
Temecula will mature.
The purpose of the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
is to promote orderly growth and development based on the City's
ability to provide adequate public facilities and services. This
Element sets forth policies and standards to ensure that future
development is coordinated with public facilities and services at
desired levels of service. Other aspects of growth management are
found within the Land Use, Circulation, Air Qyality and other
elements of the General Plan. Taken together, these sections will
influence growth and development within the City and surrounding
areas to achieve the quality oflife embodied in the Plan.
California Government Code, Section 65303, states that "the general
plan may include any other elements or address any other subjects
which, in the judgment of the City Council, relate to the physical
development of the ... city." Temecula, along with an increasing
number of cities, has opted to include growth management and
public facilities elements in the General Plan. This Growth
Management/Public Facilities Element carries the same force and
effect as a required element and is internally consistent with the
other elements of the General Plan.

growth visioning program titled "Compass for Southern California:
the course for a sustainable Southland." Results of the visioning
program served as a foundation for the 2004 Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP) update and Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) process.
The fundamental goal of the growth visioning effort is to make the
SCAG region a better place to live and work for all residents.
Decisions regarding growth, transportation, land use, and economic
development should be made to ensure a sustained environment for
future generations.
RIvERsIDE CollNJY SoLID WASTE MANAGfMENT PLAN
In 1972, the State Legislature adopted the California Solid Waste
Management and Resource Recovery Act, requiring each county
within the State to prepare a solid waste management plan for all
waste generated in the county and disposed of in or outside of the
county. In compliance with the Act, the Riverside County Solid
Waste Management Plan was prepared, and serves as the general
guideline for waste management in the County.
CITY OF TFMECl.ILA SollR.CE RmuCTIONIRECYCLING fLfMENT
Pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of
1989 (AB 939), the City prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling
Element (SSRE). The purpose of the SSRE was to establish a local
plan to reduce solid waste by 25 percent by 1995 and 50 percent by
the year 2000. The Element contains source reduction, recycling
and composting strategies to meet the diversion goal. In October
1991, the City began implementation of a curbside residential waste
separation program. Recyclable and compost materials are
separated from household trash. Household waste is transported to
a processing center in Stanton, and commercial/industrial waste is
transported to a processing center in Perris. The General Plan
contains goals and policies that are designed to further the
reduction objectives of the SSRE.

California law requires cities and counties to develop programs to
address household hazardous waste under AB 2707, a companion
bill to the Integrated Solid Waste Management Act (AB 939), and
under the Tanner hazardous waste management planning legislation
(AB 2948). The City prepared a Household Hazardous Waste
Element (HHWE), which identifies a program for the safe
collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes
generated by households in the City. The City's HHWE contains
goals and objectives to address household hazardous waste. The
program includes semi-annual roundups of household hazardous
waste. The City also cooperates with ongoing County household
hazardous waste programs. The General Plan is consistent with the
objectives of the HHWE.

The City contracts with the Riverside County Fire Department
(RCFD) for fire protection services. Fire Department operations are
governed by the Comprehensive Fire Protection Master Plan. The
Master Plan provides guidance for the provision of fire protection
and emergency services in cities and the unincorporated areas served
by the RCFD. The Plan provides a description of current and
projected fire protection and the emergency services environment.
Countywide goals and objectives related to the provision of fire

To plan for future facility needs, school districts typically take a
long-range planning approach. Long-range facility plans and master
plans allow school districts to estimate the number of additional
students that new development will generate and plan for needed
improvements to meet demand. The plans may also consider
demographic trends, such as increased household size, that can
affect the need for future school services. Coordination with the
school districts to provide adequate educational facilities is an issue
addressed in this Element.
URBAN WATER. MANAGFMENT PLANs AND WATER. MAsTER. PLANs
Water districts use a variety of planning processes to plan for the
provision of water within their service areas. Urban Water
Management Plans and Water Master Plans are typically used to
estimate future demand for water and required improvements to
meet future need. Sources of water, and other issues that affect the
provision of water within the service are addressed in the plans. The
Growth Management/Public Facilities Element addresses the need
to coordinate with the water districts' planning processes to ensure
adequate water is available for development.
GRowrn MANAGEMENT PLAN
The City has two responsibilities with regard to managing growth:
1) a responsibility within the community to ensure that facilities
and services are in place when needed to serve growth; and 2) a
responsibility within Riverside County to join in a cooperative
growth management effort to effectively address the regional
implications of local land use decisions and facility planning. The
purposes of growth management planning are to achieve agreed
upon physical, social, economic, environmental, and fiscal goals in
a cost effective, equitable, and politically stable

growth management strategy. Critics contend that certain growth
management techniques are inflationary, exclusionary, and often
motivated by residents' desires for self-enrichment at the expense of
newcomers, especially the less affluent. On the other hand, the lack
of a proactive growth management program can lead to public
frustration and backlash against growth, as has been the case in

Managing growth does not mean stopping change or closing the
doors to new residents or businesses. Properly designed and
implemented, a comprehensive growth management program
provides a framework that will enable Temecula to balance and
accommodate diverse and competing interests, while ensuring the
quality of life expected by residents of the community.
The General Plan establishes a plan for managing growth in
Temecula, embodied in the goals and policies of this Element. The
City's growth management plan is comprised of the following
components:
LEva OF SERVICE SfANDARDS
Level of service standards have been established for facilities and
services that are under the direct responsibility of the City. These
include: fire protection, police protection, paramedic services,
recreation and park land, (see Open Space/Conservation Element)
local flood control and drainage, and local government facilities
(civic center). Level of service standards are dependent upon a
number of key factors, which change over time including:

City has to forego the opportunity to provide additional recreation
facilities, and other services. For facilities and services such as
libraries, schools, and water supply, coordination and negotiation
with the providers is required to set and maintain standards
adequate for the community. The GMP includes a system for
achieving adequacy, which addresses the following considerations:
.:. Steps to plan, finance, and build facilities;
.:. Strategies to reduce existing or projected demand; and
.:. Establishment and modification of desired level of service
standards.
PHAsING PuBuc FACILITIfS AND SFR VICFS TO SUPPORT
DEVFLOPMENT
Guidelines are established requiring the needed public facilities and
infrastructure to be phased in relation to development. Phasing
requirements are tailored to individual projects prior to project
approval. Specific plans should include phasing plans that specifY
when facilities and infrastructure improvements will be
implemented to satisfY level of service standards. Large scale
development projects should also define phasing requirements in
relation to regional infrastructure and facilities plans.
!NrER.-jURlSDICTIONAL AGREFMENfS
Agreements will be sought as necessary with the County of
Riverside, the City of Murrieta, and the County of San Diego to
address land use, facilities, and infrastructure decisions that have
cross-jurisdictional impacts. The agreements may involve joint
planning and review efforts to ensure that new development can be
adequately served. Additionally, the agreements may involve joint
measures to provide regionally significant open space corridors and
the conservation of rural and agricultural lands.

New development and rehabilitation can be directed to the
urbanized portion of the Planning Area. The GMP evaluates and
provides incentives for infill development and intensification where
appropriate, in the urbanized area. Alternative incentives include
such devices as: the potential use of lower fees, development
agreements, joint public/private projects, and density bonuses. The
key reasons for focusing development within urbanized areas are to
improve and/or complete infrastructure systems (roads, sewer and
water); to discourage inefficient leap-frog development; and to
conserve significant open space and agricultural resources. The
GMP defines primary growth areas over the next five- to ten-year
period. Proposed development outside the primary growth areas
should be evaluated based on the following considerations:
.:. Does the project contribute to the completion of an existing
infrastructure system?
.:. Does infrastructure exist nearby that can readily be extended
to serve the project?
.:. Will the project contribute to the housing supply for low
and moderate income households?
.:. How soon after entitlement will the project likely be
constructed?
.:. Will the project help to stimulate local or regional economic
growth?
MIxED UsE OVERLAy AREAs AND VIll.AGE CENTERs
Primary growth areas include the Mixed Use Overlay Areas
described in the Land Use Element. Within these areas, a higher
intensity mix of residential, employment, shopping and service uses
is encouraged. Mixed use areas will be designed with a pedestrian
orientation to permit a useful share of local trips to be made by
foot or bicycle. The design of mixed-use developments should make
pedestrian access to transit stops more convenient. In larger areas,
village center plans can accomplish the same result.

evaluation of the policies and implementation programs provided ,-.-,
in the Open Space/Conservation Element is required. A wide range G
of available techniques can be effective at conserving resources. For it
example, transferring development rights from open space edges to 0
the urban core Can result in more compact development and more W
protected open space. T
H
This is a critical component of the GMP due to the significance of
these resources to long-term quality of life within the community.
Prior to incorporation, the City experienced a severe loss of open
space, and a shortage of parks and recreation facilities, due to
inadequate park planning. Repetition of this situation can be
avoided through proactive growth management planning.
PuBLIC FACn..mffi PLAN

The differences are significant in terms of the City's ability to control
policies, programs and budgets related to these functions. The City
has direct control over services in the first category and therefore
exercises direct authority over level of service standards. Where
contract services are provided, such as fire and police protection, the
City may address level of service standards through the contract
process. However, the City may only influence decisions regarding
the second category through negotiations.
An additional consideration is the degree of control the City has over
placing conditions of approval on proposed development projects
regarding public services that are impacted by a project. Again, the
City has the ability to impose conditions directly regarding the first
category and only indirectly in the second.
The Riverside County Fire
Department (RCFD), operating in
conjunction with the California
Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (CDF), provides fire
protection services on a contract basis
to the City. The City contract
provides funding for 55 firefighters, 7
engine companies, 2 paramedic
squads, and one truck company.
As of 2003, there were five fire stations serving the T emecula area. The
stations are staffed by both paid and volunteer personnel. Table GM-
1 identifies these fire facilities.

The City contracts with the
Riverside County Sheriff's
Department for law enforcement
services. The current contract
provides for the assignment of 76
sworn officers and 12 non-sworn
officers to the City. Other
manpower resources such as bomb disposal, emergency services team,
and internal affairs investigation are provided through various
divisions with the Sheriff's Department.
Temecula is served by the Southwest Station. The current personnel
to population ratio established by the City is one full-time officer per
1,000 residents. This LOS standard is currendy ,being met within the
City. Among the innovative prevention and enforcement programs
offered by the Department are "TAG" (f emecula Against Graffiti), a
volunteer anti-graffiti program; "Trashbusters," a joint Volunteer/
Reserve/POP (Problem-Oriented Policing) team program focusing on
illegal dumping; "ERACIT," (Enforce Responsible Alcohol
Consumption in Temecula), a program using the traffic unit, POP
teams, and reserve. officers to target
alcohol related enforcement; and the
"ORV Program," which utilizes reserve
officers, POP teams, and the mounted
posse for off road vehicle enforcement.
The Department also sponsors a variety
of citizen-based outreach and patrol
programs.
Temecula currently has three store-front
office locations (Old Town Temecula, the Promenade Mall, and
Temecula Town Center), a traffic unit, detective bureau, and special
teams to deal with drugs and gang-related issues.

PLANs IN ACTION
Temecula adopted a Source
Reduction and Rerycling
Element (SSRE) in 1993,
and continues to use the
SSRE to address issues
related to solid waste
disposal
LIBRARIES
PLANs IN ACTION
A new 34,000 square fOot
fUll-service library is
planned fOr on Pauba
Road. This full service
faeiliry will feature over
1,000 square ftet dedicated
as a homework center with
24 high-speed internet
terminals.
The City presendy contracts
for solid waste disposal. The
City's waste goes to the EI
Sobrante and Badlands
Landfills, located in unincor-
porated Riverside County.
Temecula began a curbside recycling program in 1991. The purpose
of this program is to reduce solid waste disposal by recycling and
composting waste. Curbside recycling is the easiest, most convenient
method of recycling. Recyclable materials are picked up and
transported to a center in Perris for processing. Garden materials are
hauled to a separate facility for composting, and the remaining waste
is hauled to the EI Sobrante and Badlands Landfills.
The City is a member of the Riverside County Library District, which
operates 38 libraries throughout Riverside County, in both
unincorporated and incorporated areas.
The Temecula Library is a full-service library offering a wide range of
materials, programs, and services for all ages. The library's collection
of over 80,000 items supports the needs of customers seeking in-depth
information, leisure reading, children's books, videos, DVDs,
magazines, and many other types of materials. As a member of the
County Library System, the Library affords customers access to over
two million items located in branches throughout the system. A
reference staff is on duty at all times to assist patrons, and the library
offers Internet access on multiple workstations.
The issue of greatest
importance to the Riverside
County Library District is
adequate funding to
provide for adopted library
service standards. The
standards call for 1.2
volumes and 0.5 square feet
of library space per capita.
The District currendy provides only 0.97 volumes and 0.13 square feet
per capita Countywide. Revenue for the Library District is obtained
from a Special District tax collected by the County. However, the
District competes with other County agencies for this funding,

The Rancho California Water District (RCWD) supplies most of the
domestic and commercial water to Temecula, paid for by user fees.
Water to supply the City is drawn from the Murrieta-Temecula
groundwater basin and supplemented with imported water from the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD). Other sources include
reclaimed water and untreated MWD water used for groundwater
recharge. The distribution of RCWD water sources is described in the
Open Space/Conservation Element. No shortage of water supply is
expected in the near future.
The City is also served by the Eastern Municipal Water District
(EMWD), which obtains water primarily from MWD but also draws
groundwater from wells in the Hemet and San Jacinto area. Some of .'
these wells have limited production as a result of the Fruitvale
Judgment and Decree, which limits the amount the Fruitvale Mutual
Water Company, now part ofEMWD, can withdraw from these wells.
EMWD also has wells in the Moreno Valley, Perris Valley, and
Murrieta areas, and is working to increase supplies of recycled water.
Distribution of EMWD water sources is described in the Open
Space/Conservation Element.
Wastewater facilities for the Temecula Planning Area are provided by
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), under the purview of the
San Diego Regional Water Qpality Control Board. The Water District
is currently meeting treatment demand in the T emecula area.
The Temecula Valley Regional Water
Reclamation Facility is located within
the central commercial area of
T emecula, within the Santa Margarita
watershed. Temporary treatment
began in 1969, with a permanent
facility open for service and with a
capacity of 1 million gallons per day
(mgd) in 1973. Present tertiary
facilities are rated at 10 mgd, although the plant's secondary facilities
have a 8 mgd limit. A $32 million expansion increased the plant's
overall capacity to 12 mgd in June 2003.

Regional flood control facilities, including
major channels and storm drains, are
under the jurisdiction of the Riverside
County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District. The District is in
the process of completing the Murrieta
Creek Flood Control, Environmental
Restoration and Recreation Project. The
primary goal of this project is to make
flood control improvements to Murrieta Creek (located in the Santa
Margarita watershed) and its major tributaries.
The largest known flood in the Santa Margarita watershed was in
1862, and the second greatest was in 1884. Other major floods
occurred in 1916, 1938, 1943, 1969, 1978, 1980, 1991 1992, and

1993. In early 1993, Riverside County was hit by severe storms. The . .
resulting major flood event resulted in two to six feet of sediment G
deposition in the Murrieta Creek streambed from Winchester Road R.
south into Old Town. Breakout of floodwaters was caused largely by 0
the magnitude of the event, the vegetation density, and W
sediment/debris accumulations within the channel that severely T
reduced flow-carrying capacity. The storm caused over $10 million in I-l
damage to public facilities along Murrieta Creek. In addition, the
Flood Control District incurred $450,000 and the City of T emecula
and the Kemper Corporation expended over $1 million in flood
clean-up and facility repair costs.
Flooding problems in the Murrieta Creek watershed are related to
inadequate capacity of the drainage network, particularly in the Old
Town. The problem manifests itself as frequent overtopping of the
Murrieta Creek channel by floodwaters in a number of channel
reaches, flood inundation of structures with attendant damages, and
other water-related problems caused by these events.
The location and size of Murrieta Creek has been altered since the late
1800s. Restoration along the creek banks, within the channel invert
and in and around the tributaries and floodplain would restore
historic habitat functions, including surface and sub-surface
hydrology, and additionally invite a large array of desired wildlife and
plant species, including sensitive species. Restoration may also
potentially reduce the presence of undesirable exotic species.
Ecological resources within Murrieta Creek and adjacent areas are
important characteristics of the community.
Although currently a source of contention as to the extent, there is no
doubt that the ecological resources of Murrieta Creek have suffered
from the effects of natural flood events as well as from emergency
channel repairs and on1;oing channel maintenance necessary to
provide sufficient flood control for Murrieta and Temecula. As a
result, there is a significant opportunity to restore degraded habitat
along Murrieta Creek in concert with flood damage reduction
measures.
A continuous un-maintained vegetated corridor will be established
along the entire 7-mile length of Murrieta Creek Channel. The width
of the corridor will vary from 20 to 50 feet within the narrowest areas
in Old Town Temecula, opening up to widths averaging 150 to 175
feet through the less developed stretches of channel through the City
of Murrieta. In some instances the widths of the proposed vegetated

Policies and implementation measures within this Element address the
need for construction of safe, effective, and environmentally
compatible flood control facilities. Issues involved in planning these
facilities include the following:
.:. Applicability of approved master drainage plans;
.:. Joint cooperation between the City and Flood Control
District;
.:. Evaluation and compatibility of current and proposed land
uses in and around existing floodplains and floodways; and
.:. Establishing guidelines and criteria for the preservation of
natural watercourses and the development of greenbelt areas.
Q!Iasi-public uses include: churches,
counseling centers, cultural facilities
(theatres, auditoriums, museums, zoos,
etc.), day-<:are facilities, medical facilities,
social service centers, and similar public-
serving uses. Q!Iasi-public uses are
frequently, though not always, funded
and operated by non-profit organizations. Such uses differ from
public facilities and services in that they do not typically have legally
prescribed planning standards and are not normally required as a
condition of approval for private development projects.
Generally, these uses do not have level of service standards.
Q!Ialitative standards are part of the evaluation and negotiation
process associated with each proposed development project.
Clustering quasi-public uses in activity centers, where the facilities can
reinforce other activities (such as retail or service businesses) and
benefit from the availability of other services (such as public
transportation), is desirable.

Southern California Edison (SCE)
supplies electricity to the Temecula
Planning Area via underground and
overhead lines. SCE's main substation is
located on Mira Lorna Drive in Temecula.
SCE is a public utility, and therefore
functions on demand. The hierarchy of
establishing electrical power lines from generation stations to
customers is as follows: transmission line; sub-transmission line; and
service line.
Natural gas is provided by the Southern
California Gas Company (SCGC).
Plastic and steel underground lines are
located throughout the Planning Area.
A small number of residents not
serviced by SCGC utilize bottled
propane or butane fuel.
Extensions for electrical and gas service to new developments are
governed by rules established by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC). CPUC regulates investor-owned
telecommunications, gas, electric and water companies as well as
transportation services such as household goods movers, airport
shuttles, limousines and tour buses. CPUC also oversees the safety of
electric transmission lines, gas pipelines and railroads.

Policy 6.7
Work with local wastewater agenCies to extend a
brine line into the City.
As urbanization increases, so does the potential for disruption
caused by flooding and inadequate flood control facilities. Local
and regional flood control facilities need to be comprehensively
planned to protect development from flood hazards. As urban and
suburban development increases, runoff increases as permeable
surfaces are replaced with pavement and structures. The potential of
overloading existing drainage facilities is a concern that must be
addressed in the Planning Area.
Goal 7
An effective, safe and environmentally compatible
flood control system.
Policy 7.1
Work with the Riverside County Flood Control
District and other agencies involved with Murrieta
Creek flood control improvements to implement a
solution that maximizes retention of natural
resources and provision of recreation opportunities
along the Creek.
Policy 7.2
Develop master drainage plans, when appropriate,
for the Sphere of Influence, in conjunction with the
Flood Control District.
Policy 7.3
Wherever possible, give pnonty to flood control
methods that maintain natural areas, maximize the
beneficial uses of water through natural systems, and
provide additional trail opportunities.
Increasing amounts of solid waste disposed of yearly, and the
growing lack of landfill sites has resulted in awareness of the need

ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Quality of life in Temecula is influenced in part by the
sense of security that exists among City residents and
businesses. The community must be prepared to address
issues such as uncontrollable natural hazards, crime and
violence, and other human caused hazards. The Public Safety
Element establishes goals, policies, and a plan to identifY potential
hazards and to ensure adequate, coordinated, and timely response to
public safety concerns. The provision of public services which
would respond to these hazards are addressed in the Growth
Management/Public Facilities Element.
The purpose of the Public Safety Element is to identifY and address
features or characteristics in or near Temecula that represent a
potential hazard to community residents, structures, public
facilities, and infrastructure. The Public Safety Element establishes
policies to minimize potential danger to residents, workers, and
visitors, and identifies actions needed to manage crisis situations,
such as earthquakes, fires, and floods. The Element also focuses on
preventing criminal activity before it occurs. In addition specific
policies and programs are provided to regulate development in
hazard-prone areas. Continuing education for City officials and
residents about emergency preparedness is also addressed.
The Public Safety Element satisfies the requirements of State
planning law and is a mandated component of the City's General
Plan. Government Code section 65302(g) sets forth a list of hazards
that the Element must cover, if they pertain to conditions in the
City. These hazards include:
.:. Seismically induced conditions including ground
shaking, surface rupture, ground failure, tsunami, seiche,
and dam failure
.:. Slope instability leading to mudslides and landslides
.:. Subsidence, liquefaction, and other geologic hazards

Generating Station
The Public Safety Element must be consistent with the other
General Plan elements, and most closely relates to the Land Use and
Circulation Elements. Potential hazards are identified and action
programs established in the Public Safety Element to avoid or
mitigate public safety hazards associated with planned development.
The Land Use Element contains policies to ensure that
environmental conditions, including hazards, are considered in all
land use decisions. The distribution of residential and other
sensitive land uses on the Land Use Policy Map is designed to avoid
areas where hazardous conditions have been identified.
Evacuation routes utilizing the City circulation system are also
described in the Public Safety Element. The provision of viable
evacuation routes within the City is inextricably linked to the
planned circulation system described in the Circulation Element.
There is a complex body of State and federal legislation relating to
the protection of public health and safety and environmental
resources. The fol1owing section briefly summarizes related
legislation that guides City decision-making with regard to land use
and physical development.
CALIFoRNIA FNvIR.ONMENTAL QI..IALITY ACT (CEQA) GUlD8...INFS
The California Environmental Qiality Act (CEQ!.) was adopted by
the State legislature in response to a public mandate for a thorough
environmental analysis of projects that might adversely affect the
environment. Provisions of the law, required procedures, and any
subsequent analysis are described in the CEQ!. Statutes and
Guidelines. Safety hazards are recognized as environmental impacts

ALQUIST-PIuOLO EARlliQUAKE FAULT ZONING ACT
The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act requires the State
Geologist to identifY earthquake fault zones along traces of both
recently and potentially active major faults. Cities and counties that
contain such zones must inform the public regarding the location
of these zones, which are usually one-quarter mile or less in width.
Proposed development plans within these earthquake fault zones
must be accompanied by a geotechnical report prepared by a
qualified geologist describing the likelihood of surface rupture.
SBSMIC HAzARDs MAPPING ACT
Pursuant to the. Seismic Hazards Mapping Act, the State Geologist
prepares maps identifYing seismic hazard zones. Development in
seismic hazard areas is subject to policies and criteria established by
the State Mining and Geology Board. In addition, approval of
development on a site within a seismic hazard area requires the
preparation of a geotechnical report and local agency consideration
of the policies and criteria set forth by the State Mining and
Geology Board (Public Resources Code Section 2690 et. seq.).
LANDSLIDE HAzARD IDFNllFICATION PROGRAM
The Landslide Hazard Identification Program requires the State
Geologist to prepare maps of landslide hazards within urbanizing
areas. According to the Public Resources Code Section 2687 (a),
public agencies are encouraged to use these maps for land use
planning and for decisions regarding building, grading and
development permits.
COBEY-ALQUIST FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMFNT ACT
The Cobey-Alquist Floodplain Management Act encourages local

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NAP)
Temecula participates in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP), which is administered by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). NFIP provides federal flood
insurance and federally financed loans for property owners in flood
prone areas. To qualifY for federal flood insurance, the City must
identifY flood hazard areas and implement a system of protective
controls.
RIvERsIDE CoUNIY HAzARDous W ASfE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Developed pursuant to the Tanner Act (AB 2948), the Riverside
County Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) identifies
current and projected future hazardous waste generation and
management needs throughout the County. The HWMP provides a
framework for the development of facilities to manage hazardous
wastes, i.e. facility siting criteria. The HWMP also includes a
Households Hazardous Waste Element that is designed to divert
household hazardous wastes from the County's landfills.
The County HWMP addresses only those hazardous waste issues
with which local governments have responsibilities, namely land use
decisions. The County and cities are required to implement facility
siting policies and criteria within local planning and permitting
processes. The City is required to take one of three actions:
.:. Adopt a City hazardous waste management plan
.:. Incorporate by reference all applicable portions of the
County Plan into its General Plan
.:. Enact an ordinance requiring all applicable land use
permitting and decisions to be consistent with the siting
criteria set forth in the County HWMP
The City has adopted by reference the applicable portions of the
County HWMP.

SAN ONoFRE NuCLEAR. GENERATING STATION (SONGS)
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is located
near the southern boundary of Orange County, approximately 25
miles west of Temecula. SONGS is a jointly owned enterprise
among Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric,
and the cities of Riverside and Anaheim. For hazard mitigation
purposes, the federal and State governments have created three levels
of emergency zones surrounding nuclear facilities:
.:. Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ): The federal government
requires that communities within approximately 10 miles of
a nuclear power plant be included in an EPZ. Within this
zone, specific emergency protective plans have been
developed.
.:. Public Education Zone (PEZ): The State of California has
defined a broader area between 10 to 20 miles from a plant
as a PEZ. Within this zone, the public is informed on
preparedness plans. The distance from the plant, however,
would make evacuation highly unlikely.
.:. Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ): Temecula is located within
this zone which covers the areas within 50 miles of SONGS.
The purpose of this zone is to prevent the accidental
ingestion of deposited radioactive materials by humans and
livestock. Southern California Edison, who operates
SONGS, will provide notification to all affected
jurisdictions within 15 minutes of declaration of any
emergency.
MlU..TI-HAzARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The City adopted a Multi-Hazard Functional Plan in 1996 pursuant
to the California Emergency Services Act. The primary objective of
the plan is to ensure the effective management of City personnel
and resources in responding to emergency situations stemming
from natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense
emergencies. The adoption and implementation of the Multi-
Hazard Functional Plan also lends protection to the City from
liability claims.

The City has adopted the California Building Code, California
Mechanical Code, Uniform Fire Code, the National Electrical Code
and other related codes that contain structural requirements for
existing and new buildings. The codes are designed to insure
structure integrity during seismic and other hazardous events and to
prevent personal injury, loss of life and substantial property
damage. To protect the public, planned development in Temecula
is subject to these structural codes.
PuBLIC SAFElY PLAN
As in all communities, human activities and natural conditions
occurring in T emecula have an effect on residents' quality of life.
Providing an environment where businesses and residents can
prosper and feel safe, and being prepared for emergency situations
are essential. The City can minimize hazards and protect public
health and private property through emergency preparedness
planning.
Natural hazards addressed in the Public Safety Element include
seismic, geologic, flood, dam failure and wild land fire hazards.
SBSMIC HAzARDs
The Elsinore fault traverses the City, which has historically
experienced earthquakes of moderate magnitude (See Figure PS-1).
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, the Laguna Salada
fault, ruptured in 1892 in a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, but the main
trace of the Elsinore fault zone has only seen one historical event
greater than magnitude 5ol-the magnitude 6.0 earthquake of 1910
near Temescal Valley, which produced no known surface rupture
and did little damage. Other faults surrounding Temecula include
the San Andreas, San Jacinto, San Gabriel, Newport-Inglewood,
Sierra Madre-Santa Susana-Cucamonga, Rose Canyon, Coronado
Banks, San Diego Trough and San Clemente Island faults.

Fault Rupture. The Elsinore fault
zone is an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake
Fault Zone, governed by specific State
development criteria designed to
prevent damage associated with ground
surface rupture. Structures intended for human occupancy are not
permitted on an active fault. Before a project can be permitted, the
City requires a geologic investigation to demonstrate that proposed
buildings will not be constructed across the fault.

Ground Shaking. Severe ground shaking is possible in Temecula
due to the presence of loosely consolidated alluvial soils. Ground
shaking causes structural damage, and is the major cause of soil
instability hazards, such as liquefaction, subsidence, or slope failure.
Riverside County has established Ground Shaking Zones indicating
the relative level of risk based on distance from faults and geologic
characteristics of an area. Development proposals are evaluated
using guidelines, which indicate the suitability of locating land uses
in various ground shaking zones. The Temecula Planning Area is
located in Ground Shaking Zone II, where shaking is expected to
vary from moderate to intense levels in the event of an earthquake,
depending on the composition of underlying geologic formations,
the earthquake's epicenter, and the order of magnitude of the
seismic event.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures and adobe block
construction are particularly susceptible to failure and/or collapse
during an earthquake. New structures conforming to California
Building Code standards can withstand ground shaking with little
or no structural damage. Older buildings can also be retrofitted to
improve structural integrity. To identify structures most prone to
failure, the City conducted a seismic inventory of structures in Old
Town, where buildings are least likely to be able to withstand
moderate ground shaking.
GEOLOGIC HAzARDs
Ground shaking following an earthquake leads to other potential
geologic hazards such as liquefaction, landslides, and subsidence.
The potential for these hazards depends upon the severity of

ground shaking and underlying geologic conditions. Temecula is
subject to the following potential geologic hazards.
Liquefaction. The potential for liquefaction in an area IS a
function of soil type and depth of groundwater. Poorly
consolidated soils combine with groundwater during an earthquake,
losing their shear strength and taking on the properties of a heavy
liquid. This process, termed liquefaction, can result in the loss of
foundation support, ground failure due to lateral spreading, and
settlement of affected soils. Three general conditions must be met
for liquefaction to occur: (1) strong ground shaking of relatively
long duration; (2) loose, or unconsolidated, recently deposited
sediments consisting primarily of silty sand and sand; and (3) water
saturated sediments within about 50 feet of the surface.
As shown in Figure PS-l, there is a possibility that liquefaction
could occur in the T emecula area, particularly along Santa Gertrudis
and Temecula Creeks. California law requires identification of
Liquefaction Zones where the stability of foundation soils must be
investigated, and countermeasures undertaken in the design and
construction of buildings for human occupancy.
Landslides. Slope stability is related to a variety of factors
including steepness; strength of geologic materials to resist the
downward pull of gravity; characteristics of bedding planes, joints
and faults; surface and ground water conditions; and other factors.
Landslides are most likely to occur on hillside locations where rock
strata parallels surface slopes, high clay content absorbs excess water,
displacement has fractured a fault zone, or the base of a slope has
been removed.
Although no recent landslides have occurred in the area, potential
landslide conditions exist in hillside areas in southwest T emecula
where existing slopes are greater than 15 percent (see Figure PS-l).
California law requires identification of Landslide Zones where the
stability of hill slopes must be evaluated, and countermeasures
undertaken in the design and construction of buildings for human
occupancy.
Subsidence. Subsidence occurs when earth material shrinks due to
natural or artificial removal of underlying support. This process
occurs in poor, unconsolidated soils and poorly

Gertrudis and T emecula Creeks.
Erosion. The underlying surficial geology in T emecula is
predominantly composed of well-drained fine sandy loams, sandy
loams and gravelly silt loams. Soils characterized by low
permeability or high runoff are susceptible to erosion.
Additionally, the well-drained alluvium surfaces are susceptible to
wind erosion.
TE1\\ECUL!\
P5-IO
The City will enact programs to reduce geologic hazards and protect
public safety. To minimize hazards resulting from earthquakes, the
most recent State seismic guidelines will be implemented for
structural design. During the review of development proposals
involving steep slopes, grading, unstable soils and other hazardous
conditions, surveys of soil and geologic conditions by a state-
licensed engineering geologist will be required. Based on the results
of the survey, mitigation measures will be incorporated into projects
to minimize geologic hazards. The City will take actions to make
seismic and geologic hazard mitigation a part of land use planning
efforts, such as working with property owners to remediate
hazardous buildings, requiring disclosure of hazard zone status as
part of real estate transactions, working with County and State
agencies to monitor and compile information on seismic hazards,
and adopting hillside development standards.
Flood hazards in Temecula can be divided into three categories:
natural flooding, dam failure, and mud debris flows.

Dam Failure. Flooding from dam failure can result from natural
and human causes including earthquakes, erosion, improper siting
and/or design and rapidly rising floodwater during heavy storms.
The type of failure, ranging from instantaneous to gradual, is
dependent on the building material of the dam. Dam failure can
potentially cause loss of life and property damage. Other effects
include displacement of persons residing in the inundation path
and damage to infrastructure.
Three dams are located in areas surrounding T emecula:
.:. Lake Skinner is a 43,80G-acre feet earthen dam located
northeast of Temecula. Failure of the Lake Skinner Dam
would result in flooding along T ucalota Creek and Benton
Road.
.:. Vail Lake is located to the east of Temecula. Dam failure of
this 51,OOO-acre foot facility would cause flooding in the
Pauba and Temecula Valleys. Interstate 15 and an adjacent
3-mile area would also flood.
.:. Diamond Valley Lake, impounded by two earthen dams, is
the largest reservoir in Southern California and is located
north of Temecula. Failure of the western dam would result
in flooding in the northern parts of the Planning Area.
The failure of Lake Skinner or Diamond Valley Lake could also
result in substantial flooding along parts of Santa Gertrudis and
Warm Springs Creeks. Areas along 1-15 and Murrieta Creek could
also be substantially affected.
Mud and Debris Flows. Mud and debris flows originate in hillside
areas characterized by deep topsoil and/or poor drainage. The
potential for mud and debris flows exists in the hilly southern and
western portions of T emecula.
The City will continue to participate in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes flood insurance available
to affected property owners within the lOG-year flood plain. The
City will also review development plans for

Plan, will update the Multi-Hazard Functional Plan as needed to
address flood hazards, and will coordinate with the State Office of
Emergency Services to ensure that dam safety plans reflect the level
of development within the community.
FIRE HAZARDS
Temecula is subject to both natural and urban fires. The Planning
Area is surrounded by rolling foothills and mountains subject to
potential natural wild land fires.
Wild Land Fires. Fire in
undeveloped areas results from
the ignition of accumulated
brush and vegetation. The
most critical times of year for
wildland fires are late summer
and fall when Santa Ana winds
bring hot, dry desert air into
the region. The air temperature quickly dries vegetation, thereby
increasing the amount of natural fuel. Development pressures
increase the threat of wildland fire on human populations and
property as development pushes to the fringes of major forests and
brush areas. Increased human presence in wildland areas likewise
increases the potential for human-induced wildland fires.
Urban Fires. The predominant land use in the Temecula area is
low density residential development. The area has experienced rapid
development in past decades, and this trend is expected to continue.
As the number of structures increases, so does the incidence of fire.
Building conditions that affect fire control include: type and use of
structure; area of building; number of stories; roof covering
materials; and adjacent uses.
Certain development patterns pose more difficult fire problems.
These include: multi-story, wood frame, high density apartment
development; large continuous developed areas with combustible

Areas posing a significant risk to the City are subject to the
California Public Resources Code, Sections 4291-4299, which
require property owners to conduct periodic maintenance to reduce
the fire danger. The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD),
through a cooperative agreement, provides fire protection, fire
prevention, and emergency medical rescue services in the City of
Temecula. The City will continue to reduce the potential for
dangerous fires by coordinating with the RCFD to conduct fire
hazard education, and administer fire protection and fuel

Human activity hazards addressed in the Safety Plan include
hazardous materials and nuclear power production.
HAzARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous materials are used in T emecula for a variety of purposes,
including service industries, small businesses, schools and
households. Many chemicals used in household cleaning,.
construction, dry cleaning, film processing, landscaping, and
automotive maintenance and repair are considered hazardous.
Accidents can also occur in the production, use, transport and
disposal of hazardous waste.
In order to effectively manage hazardous materials and wastes, the
City implements applicable portions of the Riverside County
Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). Both the federal and
State governments require all businesses that handle more than a
specified amount of hazardous materials to submit an annual
business plan to the local Certified Unified Program Agency
(CUPA). The CUPA with responsibility for the City of Temecula is
the Riverside County Environmental Health Department.
The City will work to minimize accidents and health risks from
hazardous materials using the following approaches:

.:. Implement the Multi-Hazard Functional Plan for accidents
involving hazardous materials.
NUCLEAR POWER PRODUCTION
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating System (SONGS) is located on
the Camp Pendleton U.S. Marine Corps Base in San Diego County,
approximately 25 miles west of Temecula. SONGS operations are
regulated by FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services
(OES). An Interjurisdictional Planning Committee (IPq,
comprised of several local jurisdictions, was established to
coordinate emergency response plans.
SONGS byproducts are radioactive,
with the exception of small
quantities of radioactive gas
released into the air and liquids
into the Pacific Ocean. The
releases are monitored by SONGS
personnel. According to SONGS,
radiation exposure due to material
releases is less than the typical
exposure from natural background radiation. The two most likely
sources of radiation contamination are incidents involving
transport of radioactive materials, and uncontrolled releases at the
plant site.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified the area
surrounding every nuclear generating station as an Emergency
Planning Zone (EPZ). The State of California has defined the area
outside, and adjacent to the EPZ as a Public Education Zone (PEZ).
The federal government establishes the area with a 50-mile radius
around every nuclear generating station as an Ingestion Pathway

The Temecula planning area is located within the IPZ of the San
Onofre Station. Education programs coordinated by the State and
Southern California Edison are administered in this zone to ensure
that residents are prepared for any potential problems associated
with the facility.
Criminal activity in Temecula
is lower than in some other
parts of Riverside County.
Protecting residents and
businesses from criminal
actIvIty is a priority in
T emecula. Police protection is
provided by the Riverside
County Sheriffs Department (RCSD). Temecula has three store-
front office locations (Old Town Temecula, Promenade MalI, and
Temecula Town Center). The City wilI ensure that contracted
staffing levels are compatible with the City population and needs.
Crime prevention programs include police services for residents and
businesses, and citizen-based volunteer programs and patrols.
Local Emergency Preparedness Plans serve as extensions of the
California Emergency Plan and the Emergency Resource
Management Plan. The City has adopted a Multi-Hazard
Functional Plan to ensure the effective management of City
personnel and resources in responding to emergency situations
stemming from natural disasters, technological incidents, and
nuclear defense emergencies.
The plan includes a responsibility matrix that delineates specific
responsibilities to City departments or personnel in the event of an
emergency. The plan also includes a comprehensive hazard analysis
that addresses the folIowing potential hazards: earthquake,
hazardous material incident, flooding, dam failure, major
fire/wildfire, nuclear incident, and transportation incident.

TERRORISM
RFAoINESS AND
RFsPONSE
The Multi-Hazard Functional Plan provides general guidelines for
evacuation routes in the event of a natural or human-caused
disaster. Due to the unpredictability of the impact of a disaster on
streets and highways, appropriate evacuation routes cannot be pre-
determined. In general, all traffic will be channeled to the nearby
freeways, state highways, and other major arterials. 1-15 will serve as
the primary north-south evacuation channel. Winchester and
Rancho California Roads will be used for east-west evacuation.
Once the decision to evacuate is made, the public will be alerted and
given evacuation instructions by various means, including school
alert/monitor receivers, radio and television announcements, sirens,
mobile loud speakers, and personal contact.
Educating residents and businesses about potential disasters and the
Multi-Hazard Functional Plan can increase the effectiveness of
response efforts. An educated public will. know how to prevent
injury and property damage during and after emergencies and also
know how to find help.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the
City of Temecula's emergency preparedness and response services
have become an even more critical function to address terrorism
issues that confront the nation and local communities. Since the
events of 9/11, a considerable amount of information has been
generated on potential vulnerabilities, protective measures, and anti-
terrorism/security technologies. The Riverside County Sheriffs and
Fire Departments, which currently provide police and fire services
to T emecula, recognizes the need not only to learn from the lessons
from 9/11, but also to collectively address the terrorism planning
and policy issues that most affect Temecula residents. The goals,
policies and implementation programs associated with emergency
preparedness also apply to terrorism .readiness and response.
GoAL') AND POUCIES
Certain natural conditions and human activities in Temecula create
risks to individuals and properties within the community. Excessive
risk from such hazards can be reduced or avoided through
implementation of policies in the Public Safety Element.

Due to location within a seismically active region and the presence
of floodplains and hillsides, Temecula is potentially subject to
several types of natural hazards, including earthquakes, liquefaction,
flooding, wild land fires, landslides, and erosion. Potential damage
can be reduced through appropriate land use planning,
development engineering, and building construction practices.
The Planning Area contains Alquist-Priolo fault zones and County
Fault Hazard Zones. These zones identifY areas potentially
impacted by groundshaking and 'surface-rupture. Seismic events
occurring within and outside of the Planning Area also have the
potential to trigger such secondary impacts as liquefaction and
subsidence. Other natural hazards impacting the Planning Area
include flooding and dam inundation.
Goal 1
Protection from natural hazards associated with
geologic instability, seismic events, wild land fires,
flooding, and dam failures.
Policy 1.1
IdentifY and mitigate potential adverse impacts of
ground surface rupture, liquefaction, and landslides
at the project level.
Policy 1.2
Apply and enforce seismic design standards and
building construction codes for new development.
Policy 1.3
Work with property owners to remediate hazardous
buildings throughout the City.
Policy 1.4

EMER.GENCY
PREPAREDNESS
The perception of personal safety and the security of property are
central to the quality of life in a community. Realizing these
objectives requires both proactive and reactive involvement by
citizens, as well as fire and law enforcement personnel. The risk of
exposure to criminal activity or fire can be reduced through
planning, education and regulation of human activity, and by
providing paved road access throughout the City. In addition, the
design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a
reduction in fear and the incidence of both crime and fire,
improving the quality of life, and helping create a secure sense of
community.
Goal 3
A safe and secure community free from the threat
of personal injury and loss of property.
Policy 3.1
Ensure adequate facilities and police and fire service
personnel are provided in the City.
Policy 3.2
Continue to work with the community in operating
citizen involved programs and patrols that promote
mutual assistance and crime prevention activities
among residents.
Policy 3.3
Incorporate crime prevention and defensible space
into site plans and building designs for new
development.
Policy 3.4
Ensure that all-weather and appropriate secondary
access is provided to ensure timely emergency
response. Require all residential development with
35 or more dwelling units to provide all-weather
secondary access that meets City standards.
Major emergencies occur periodically in all communities. Timely
and coordinated action by agencies charged with responsibilities in
the event of a disaster is necessary to mitigate the effect of a disaster
on the human population and environment. Preventive measures
and preparatory responses before an emergency occurs will hasten
recovery.

NOISE ELEMENT
INlRODUCTION
T emecula residents have come to the community for the
peaceful lifestyle, that is less affected by many of the loud
nuisances of other southern California communities.
However, the City is not spared from all noisy activities,
particularly those associated with automobile transportation.
Traffic is projected to increase on 1-15, Winchester Road, Highway
79 south, Pechanga Parkway and other City roads, and aircraft will
continue to use French Valley Airport. Without City actions to
protect residents, surrounding areas will become noisy, making it
difficult to sleep, work, and learn, and gradually eroding the quality
of our community. Noise also does not recognize property or
zoning boundaries. Reducing noise impacts from one property on
another or between adjacent land uses is necessary.
The City strives to reduce the impacts of noise through a
combination of land use planning, site criteria, noise reduction and
enforcement strategies. The policies and programs detailed in this
Element focus on protecting the quality of life found within our
residential neighborhoods, schools and other noise-sensitive uses
from the persistent hazards of excessive noise.
The State recognizes the relationship between noise and noise
sensitive uses and has adopted guidelines for Noise Elements. This
Noise Element satisfies the requirements of State planning law and
is a mandated component of the General Plan. Government Code
Section 65302(f) establishes the required components of the Noise
Element. The Element also complies with CalifOrnia Health and
Safety Code Section 56050.1 guidelines for Noise Elements.
Potential noise sources are identified and programs established to
avoid or mitigate noise impacts associated with community
development. Future noise conditions associated with both short-
and long-term growth are quantified and identified within noise
exposure contours. The contours serve as the basis for: developing
guidelines to identify compatible land uses; identifying the

Concurrently, the Land Use Element contains policies to ensure
that environmental conditions, including noise, are considered in
all land use decisions. The Noise Element is also linked to the
transportation policies in the Circulation Element. The projected
noise contours identified in Figure N-2 within this Element directly
correspond to the Circulation Plan and the projected traffic
generated from proposed land uses. Both the Noise and
Circulation Elements contain policies and programs to minimize
the effects of transportation noise.
The Noise Element also relates to the Conservation/Open Space
Element. Excessive noise can diminish enjoyment of parks and
other designated open space. Because of this, noise levels are
considered in the planning of new recreational and open space
areas. Additionally, open space areas can be used to separate and
buffer noise sensitive land uses from noise producers.
Noise generally is defined as unwanted or intrusive sound, Because
noise consists of pitch, loudness, and duration, describing noise
with a single unit of measure presents a challenge. The A-weighted
decibel scale (dB(A)) has been developed to describe the loudness of
a sound or sound environment based on the sensitivity of the
human ear,
The dB(A) descriptor only reports noise from a single source or
combination of sources at a point in time. To allow a more
comprehensive description of the noise environment, Federal and
State agencies have established noise and land use compatibility
guidelines that use averaging approaches to noise measurement.
Two measurement scales commonly used in California are the
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) and the day-night level
(Ldn). To account for increased human sensitivity at night, the
CNEL level includes a 5-decibel penalty on noise during the 7:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. time period and a lO-decibel penalty on noise
during the 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. time period. The Ldn level
includes only the 10 decibel weighting for late-night noise. These
values are nearly identical for all but unusual noise sources.

CALiFORNIA ENvIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUlDELINF5
The California Environmental Qyality Act (CEQA) was adopted by
the State legislature in response to a public mandate for thorough
environmental analysis of projects that might affect the
environment. Excessive noise is considered an environmental
impact under CEQA The provisions of the law and environmental
review procedures are described in the CEQA Statutes and the
CEQA Guidelines. Implementation of CEQA ensures that during
the decision making stage of development, City officials and the
general public will be able to assess the noise impacts associated
with public and private development projects.
CALIFORNIA NOISE INsULATION STANDARDS ([ITLE 24)
The California Commission of Housing and Community
Development officially adopted noise standards in 1974. In 1988,
the Building Standards Commission approved revisions to the
standards (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations). As
revised, Title 24 establishes an interior noise standard of 45 dB(A)
for residential space (CNEL or Ldn). Acoustical studies must be
prepared for residential structures that are to be located within noise
contours of 60 dB(A) or greater from freeways, major streets,
thoroughfares, rail lines, rapid transit lines or industrial noise
sources. The studies must demonstrate that the building is designed
to reduce interior noise to 45 dB(A) or lower.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFElY AND HEAL1H ADMINlSfRATION (OSHA)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
provides worker regulations for protection against the effects of
noise exposure. The maximum exposure is provided according to
health and psychological effects with a reasonable margin of safety.
OSHA also identifies whether the threshold applies to activity
interference, hearing loss consideration, or both effects.

The unincorporated portion of the Planning Area is subject to the
Riverside County Noise Element, which establishes parameters for
compatibility of noise and various land uses, and the location of
new development. For new residential construction, exterior noise
must be reduced to 65 dB or less, and interior noise must be
reduced to 45 dB or less.
Cm OF TFMEClILA NOISE CoNIROL ORDINANCE
The City has adopted the County of Riverside Noise Control
Ordinance (No. 457.73), which establishes interior and exterior
noise standards for residential areas. The ordinance provides
controls for excessive and annoying noise from stationary sources
such as industrial plants, pumps, compressors and refrigeration
units. In addition, specific noise standards for daytime and
nighttime hours are provided. Certain noise sources are prohibited
and the ordinance establishes an enforcement process.
RNERsIDE CoUNIY AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBII.JIY PLAN
POUCy DocUMENT - FRENQ-I VAlLEY AIRPORT
French Valley Airport is a general aviation airport owned and
operated by the County of Riverside. The airport occupies
approximately 261 acres east of Winchester Road and is located five
miles north of Temecula's city center and one and one-quarter mile
northwest of the City limits within the sphere of influence.
French Valley Airport is one of 16 airports in Riverside County
governed by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission
(ALUe). In November 2004, the ALUC adopted the Riverside
County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) Policy
Document, which establishes land use, noise and safety policies in
the vicinity of airports throughout Riverside County, including
compatibility criteria and maps for the influence areas of individual
airports. The ALUCP also establishes procedural requirements for
compatibility review of development proposals.
NOISE PLAN
T emecula, like most developed suburban areas, experiences increased
noise levels associated with transportation and other sources. As
noise levels in various parts of the community rise, the City must
seek ways to safeguard the population from excessive noise levels.

SENSITIVE
RECEPTORS
PLANs IN ACTION
Temecula uses the noise!
land use compatibility
guidelines in Tables N-I
and N-2, as well as
interior noise standards in
the State Health and Safety
Code to determine the
appropriate location and
desigu of ftture land uses.
This minimizes potential
impacts of noisy businesses
and industries on
residential neighborhoods
or other sensitive receptors.
Noise in the community is the cumulative effect of noise from
transportation activities and stationary sources. Stationary noise
typically refers to noise from commercial establishments,
machinery, air conditioning systems, compressors, residential and
recreational uses, and landscape maintenance equipment.
Regardless of the type of noise, levels are highest near the source
and decrease with distance. Noise becomes a problem when sources
and noise sensitive land uses are located in adjacent areas.
Residential uses are generally the most sensitive to noise. Other
noise-sensitive land uses include schools, libraries, offices, hospitals,
churches, hotels, motels, and outdoor recreational areas. Most noise
impacts can be avoided when noise sources, sensitive land uses, and
information about the future noise environment are considered in
planning and development decisions.
NOISE SfANDARDS AND LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
To ensure that noise producers do not adversely affect sensitive
receptors, the City uses land use compatibility standards when
planning and making development decisions. Table N-l
summarizes City noise standards for each land use classification
defined in the Land Use Element and expressed on the Land Use
Policy Map. The standards represent the maximum acceptable
exterior noise level, as measured at the property boundary, which is
used to determine noise impacts.
The City's primary goal with regard to community noise is to
minimize the exposure of residents to unhealthful or excessive noise
levels to the extent possible. To this end, the Noise Element
establishes noise/land use compatibility guidelines based on
cumulative noise criteria for outdoor noise. Table N-2 outlines
rhese criteria, which the City will use to review development
proposals. In addition, new residential development will comply
with Title 24 standards of the State Health and Safety Code. These
standards establish maximum interior noise levels for new
residential development, requiring that sufficient insulation be
provided to reduce interior ambient noise levels to 45 CNEL.
Higher exterior noise levels are permitted for multiple-family
housing than for single-family houses, as multiple-family complexes
are generally set back farther from property boundaries, and a more
integrated mix of activity (residential and commercial) is often
desired near such locations.

NOISE CONTOURS AND iMPACT AREAs
The community noise environment can be described with contours
derived from monitoring major sources of noise. Noise contours
define areas of equal noise exposure. Future noise contours have
been estimated with information about baseline and projected land
use development with transportation activity. The contours assist in
setting policies for distribution of land uses and establishment of
development standards.
A study of baseline noise sources and levels was completed in April,
2002. Noise level measurements were collected during a typical
weekday at twenty locations throughout Temecula. Criteria for site
selection included geographical distribution, land uses suspected of
noisy activities, proximity to transportation facilities and sensitive
receptor locations. The primary purpose of noise monitoring was
to establish a noise profile for the Planning Area that could be used
to estimate the level of current and future noise impact.
Measurements represent motor vehicle noise emanating from
Interstate 15, the local master planned roadway network and aircraft
associated with the French Valley Airport. Sensitive receptor
locations monitored include: single.family homes, schools, and
parks. Noise levels were monitored during the peak traffic hour to
represent maximum noise levels or during off-peak conditions and
then modified to reflect peak traffic conditions.
Figure N.! shows the CNEL contours for baseline year 2002, and
identifies noise monitoring locations. As the Figure illustrates,
major arterials, as well as the railroad and Interstate 15 represent the
major sources of noise. A number of residential neighborhoods are
exposed to traffic noise from arterials, such as Winchester Road,
Margarita Road, Ynez Road, Rancho California Road and Pechanga
Parkway.
The Land Use Element indicates that the Planning Area will
accommodate substantial future growth, accompanied by an
increase in citywide traffic volumes. Traffic volume increases
represent the only anticipated measurable new noise source in the
community over the long term.

Figure N-3 identifies the estimated CNEL noise contours associated
with current operations at the French Valley Airport. Figure N-4
identifies the projected future CNEL noise levels associated with
Airport operations in 2013. These figures should be used in
conjunction with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan to
determine land use compatibility and potential noise mitigation
requirements for projects that fall within a noise contour area
associated with the Airport.
CONSTRUCTION SrANDARDS
The provisions of the State Noise Insulation Standards (Title 24,
Part 2, California Code of Regulations) are enforced in Temecula.
Title 24 specifies that combined indoor noise for multi-family living
spaces shall not exceed 45 CNEL. This standard must be
implemented when the outdoor noise level exceeds 60 CNEL. Title
24 requires that the same standard be applied to all new hotels,
motels, apartment houses, and multi-family projects. Furthermore,
construction activity shall be limited during the early morning, late.
evening, weekends and holidays to prevent noise intrusion during
these periods. Parameters for these limitations are provided in the
City's Noise Control Ordinance (Section 8.32 of the Temecula
Municipal Code).
The City also has the opportunity to control noise and vibration
transfers between adjacent land uses. Particular problems arise in
cases where noise-producing uses are located immediately adjacent
to sensitive uses, such as industrial areas near residences or schools.
Mixed-use projects often present unique problems in this area, such
as when restaurants with nighttime entertainment are located below
residential units.
Sensitive receptors must be protected from excessive noise generated
by commercial and industrial centers, restaurants and bars, and civic
centers. Other noise sources commonly referred to as nuisance
noises also contribute to the overall noise environment. Noise
generated by new development is most appropriately controlled
through the site design review process, and compliance with CEQA,
and noise standards contained in the Noise Element. During
preliminary stages of the development process, potential noise
impacts and mitigation measures must be identified.

When reviewing a proposed industrial, commercial or public
project, noise generation and potential impacts to surrounding
development are considered in accordance with CEQA. Common
mitigation measures include acoustically treated and quiet-design
furnaces, fans, motors, compressors, valves, and pumps. The City
may also require limited delivery and operation hours in order to
minimize impacts to adjacent residential users or other sensitive
receptors.
.

In addition, all City departments must comply with State and
federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

NUISANCE NOISES
Several noise sources can contribute to the overall noise
environment in the community, including barking dogs, loud audio
equipment, defective or modified auto and motorcycle mufflers and
activities at parks and civic, community or religious institutions.
These nuisance noises can be addressed through strict enforcement
of City's Noise Control Ordinance, while potential new noise
impacts may be avoided or reduced through the site design review.
process, review of proposed developments per CEQA and
mitigation of potential nuisance noise impacts.
Motor vehicles are the dominant source of continuous nOIse.
Interstate 15, SR-79, Rancho California Road, Jefferson
Avenue/Front Street, Winchester Road, and Pechanga Parkway all
carry appreciable volumes of commuter traffic. Neighborhoods
bordering these roadways are thus subject to loud noise levels.
Properties adjacent to freeways can experience decibels as high as 70
to 75 dB(A). Sound attenuation walls, landscaped buffers, and dirt
mounds all help to reduce the sound intensity of the freeway.
The French Valley Airport is also a source of noise in Temecula.
The aircraft mix at this airport includes mostly single-engine
aircraft, although some multi-engine aircraft and a small number of
business jets and helicopters also use the Airport. Larger aircraft
represent a more intrusive noise source. Impacted future uses
include office park areas and residential neighborhoods.

......."'.'-'Py):.;:~ -~
The most efficient and effective means of controlling noise from
transportation systems is to reduce noise at the source. However,
the City has limited direct control over noise produced by
transportation sources because State noise regulations preempt local
regulations. Because the City cannot control noise at the source,
City noise programs focus on reducing the impact of transportation
noise reception sites.
N
o
I
S
E
During the planning stages of the development process, potential
impacts from transportation noise will be identified and mitigation
measures required as needed to meet City noise standards. Site
planning, landscaping, topography and the design and construction
of noise barriers are the most common method of alleviating
vehicular traffic noise impacts. Setbacks and buffers can also be
used to reduce noise.
Noise-attenuating barriers are
commonly incorporated into
projects and can be extremely
effective in reducing noise levels.
The effectiveness of barriers
depends on: 1) the relative height
and materials of the barrier; 2)
the noise source; 3) the affected
area; and 4) the horizontal distance between the barrier and the
affected area. Noise barriers should also be included in the design
of freeway/tollway, roadway and rail improvements.
Although noise barriers can be effective, the aesthetic effect of
barriers on neighborhoods must be considered during the
preliminary stages of the development process. Potentially
significant visual impacts associated with noise barriers must be
addressed and mitigated through landscaping or other project
design measures in all new public and private projects.
NOISE CONfROL AT lHE SoURCE
The California Vehicle Code contains noise regulations pertaining
to the operation of all vehicles on public roads. These standards for
cars, trucks, and motorcycles are enforced through coordination
with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Riverside
County Sheriffs Department

Four major issues are addressed in the Noise Element: 1) ensuring
the separation of significant noise generators and sensitive receptors
including residential areas and schools, 2) noise and vibration
transfers between adjacent land uses such as residences located
upstairs from nighttime commercial uses in mixed use
environments, 3) considering noise in the land use planning
process, and 4) minimizing the impacts of transportation-related
nOIse.
Separating noise generators from sensitive receptors will result in
exterior environments that require minimal mitigation to meet
acceptable noise levels. Land use planning will ensure that sensitive
receptors are not impacted by noise hazards by locating these land
uses distant from each other. Noise hazard areas will be considered
to include locations within the 65 CNEL contour of master planned
roadways, railroad corridors, aircraft flight paths, and industrial
facilities.
Goal 1
Separate significant nOise generators from
sensitive receptors.
I
J
j
I
I
I
I
I
Policy 1.1
Discourage noise sensitive land uses in noisy exterior
environments unless measures can be implemented
to reduce exterior and interior noise to acceptable
levels. Alternatively, encourage less sensitive uses in
areas adjacent to major noise generators but require
sound-appropriate interior working environments.
Policy 1.2
Limit the hours of construction activity next to
residential areas to reduce noise intrusion in the
early morning, late evening, weekends and holidays.
Policy 1.3
Use information from the noise contour map in the
General Plan in the development review process to
prevent the location of sensitive land uses near major
stationary noise sources,
Exterior and interior noise standards determine the design and
location of various land uses. The City has the opportunity to
control noise between land uses through use of the City Noise
Control Ordinance or other means.

ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Throughout much of Southern California, air quality does
not meet federal standards. Poor air quality results in
potential health hazards and often produces a hazy,
unattractive ceiling of smog above the basin. Unlike most
of Southern California, Temecula's air quality is very good. Air
quality monitoring in T emecula in the early 1990's indicated that
days with air quality standard violations were rare. This is due to
the Lake Elsinore Convergence Zone, where coastal winds block air
pollutants from the rest of the South Coast Air Basin. These
conditions provide an environment where residents can breathe
clean, fresh air, improving the quality of life. The City can do its
part to improve regional air quality through effective land use
planning, automobile trip reduction strategies, energy conservation,
and participation in regional efforts to achieve measurable air
quality improvements.
The Air QIality Element establishes a policy foundation to
implement local air quality improvement measures and provides a
framework for coordination of air quality planning efforts with
surrounding jurisdictions.
Preparation of an Air QIality Element is not required under State
law, but the Government Code authorizes cities and counties to
adopt additional elements as deemed relevant and necessary. State
General Plan Guidelines include air quality as a suggested topic in
both the Circulation and Safety Elements. The South Coast Air
Qpality Management District (SCAQMD) also recommends that
jurisdictions adopt an Air QIality Element to implement control
measures. If a jurisdiction prepares an optional Air QIality
Element, that element must be consistent with the other General
Plan elements.

Temecula lies within the South Coast Air Basin, a geographic area
that extends from the Pacific Ocean to the San Jacinto Mountains
on the east, and south from the San Gabriel Mountains. The three
pollutants of greatest concern within the South Coast Air Basin are
carbon monoxide, ozone (which is formed when sunlight reacts
with pollutants), and particulate matter. These pollutants and
associated health effects are described below.

.:. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is formed by the incomplete
combustion of fossil fuels, almost entirely from
automobiles. It is an odorless gas that can cause dizziness,
fatigue, and impairments to central nervous system
functions. CO passes through the lungs into the blood
stream where it interferes with the transfer of oxygen to
body tissues.
.:. Ozone (smog) is formed by photochemical reactions
between nitrogen oxide (NOx) and reactive organic gases,
rather than being directly emitted. Ozone is a pungent,
colorless gas typically found in Southern California smog.
Elevated zone concentrations result in reduced lung
function, particularly during vigorous physical activity. This
health problem is particularly acute in sensitive receptors,
such as the sick, elderly and young children. Ozone levels
peak during the summer and early fall months.
.:. Particulate Matter (PMIO) refers to small suspended
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ten
microns or less which is not readily filtered by the lungs.
Nitrates and sulfates, as well as dust particulates, are major
components of PMlO" These small particles can be directly
emitted into the atmosphere as a by-product of fuel
combustion, through abrasion such as wear on tires or brake
linings, or through fugitive dust (wind erosion from soil and
dirt roads). They can also be formed in the atmosphere
through chemical reactions. Particulates may carry
carcinogens and other toxic compounds that adhere to the
particle surfaces and can enter the human body through the
lungs.
A number of related plans and programs administered by federal,
State, and special purpose agencies support or influence the goals of
the Air Qlality Element.

The Federal Clean Air Act, enacted in 1970 and amended thereafter,
establishes the framework for air pollution control. The Act directs
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish national
ambient air quality standards (NAA~) for six pollutants: ozone,
carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and
sulphur dioxide. These standards are set at a level that protects
public health and welfare. Areas exceeding the federal standards
more than two times per year are designated "nonattainment" areas.
Such areas are subject to more stringent planning and pollution
control requirements.
States are required to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for
areas that exceed the NAA~. The SIP must demonstrate how the
NAA~ will be achieved. Failure to submit a plan or secure
approval could lead to denial of federal funding or permits for
infrastructure requiring federal approval.
CALIFoRNIA CLEAN AIR. ACT
The California Clean Air Act (CCAA, 1988) establishes standards
for the six federal criteria pollutants, as well as for hydrogen
sulphide, sulphate and vinyl chloride. State standards for these nine
pollutants are more stringent than federal standards. The CCAA
requires regional emissions to be reduced by five percent per year,
averaged over a three-year period, until attainment can be
demonstrated. Each region that does not meet a national or State
air quality standard is required to prepare a plan that demonstrates
how the 5-percent reduction is to be achieved. The California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and local air pollution control districts are
responsible for ensuring that State standards will be achieved within
designated timeframes.
Scum CoAST AIR. QUALnY MANAGEMENf PLAN
In response to regional planning requirements of the California
Clean Air Act, the South Coast Air Q1Jality Management Plan
(AQMP) is the primary planning tool for achieving State and
federal air quality standards. The AQMP carries out federal and
State mandates with respect to air quality standards through a series
of control measures which are aimed at reducing pollutants from a
specific source. The plan for the South Coast Air Basin, which
includes Western Riverside County, was prepared by the South
Coast Air Q1Jality Management District (SCAQMD) and the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

The Western Riverside Sub-Regional Air O!Jality Implementation
Program serves as a framework for local government
implementation of the control measures contained in the AQMP.
The planning effort was initiated in response to a desire among
local governments to retain autonomy in implementing the AQMP
control measures. The Plan includes a Model Air O!JaIity Element
that is intended to be incorporated by participating jurisdictions
into their General Plan. The Implementation Program also includes
four model ordinances: Development Review and Mitigation;
Employment Related Trip Reduction; Particulate Emission
Reduction; and Energy Conservation. Procedures necessary for
local jurisdictions to implement air quality measures are also
contained in the Implementation Program.
Temecula is a'member of the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG) and participated in this coordinated air
quality planning effort. The City's Air O!Jality Element
incorporates the goals, policies and programs from the WRCOG
that are applicable within the Planning Area. The policies and
implementation programs, however,' have been tailored to reflect
local circumstances.
TFMECULA TRIP REDUCTION ORDINANCE
Temecula has adopted a Trip Reduction Ordinance, pursuant to
requirements of the State Health and Safety Code. The Ordinance
enables the City to receive revenues from vehicle registration fees to
administer air pollution reduction programs. The Municipal Code
also mandates the provision of carpool, bicycle, rideshare, vanpool,
transit, child care, transportation system management, and/or
telecommuting facilities for both new and current development
projects within the City where 100 or more persons are employed.
Strategies to provide these facilities are detailed in Trip Reduction
Plans (TRPs) prepared by employers, either as a condition of
development review, or upon issuance of a business license.
Businesses with fewer than 100 employees are also encouraged to
participate on a voluntary basis.

COUNTY OF RNERsIDE AIR. QUALITY fLEMENr
The Air Q1Jality Element of the Riverside County General Plan
identifies issues, goals, and programs to improve countywide air
quality. The County's Air Q1Jality Element includes policies and
programs addressing each of the following topics: multi-
jurisdictional cooperation, sensitive receptors, mobile pollution
sources, stationary pollution sources, energy efficiency and
conservation, jobs and housing, transportation demand
management, transportation systems management, transportation
facility development, and particulate matter.
The Riverside County Air Q1Jality Element has no authority over
the actions taken by the City of T emecula. However, the policies
and programs related to the coordination of air quality planning
efforts on the local and regional level have been considered and are
incorporated in Temecula's Air Q1Jality Element.
AIR QUALITY PLAN
Good air quality is vital for the health of Temecula residents. To
date, most efforts at improving air quality have relied on emissions
control devices and development of cleaner manufacturing and
transportation technologies. While these efforts have been
successful in reducing emissions, population growth experienced by
the region threatens these gains. In addition, despite these
improvements, federal air quality standards have not been met.
Air quality efforts are increasingly directed at the relationship
between growth, land use activities, and air quality. Land use
patterns directly influence transportation demand which, in turn,
impacts air quality. Local government has the unique authority to
regulate land use, and the South Coast Air Q1Jality Management
District (SCAQMD) calls upon local governments to implement
measures to achieve emissions reductions to reduce the high ozone
levels the T emecula area sometimes experiences.
The City has important roles and commitments to the
implementation of the AQMP and Sub-Regional Air Q1Jality
Implementation Program. Continued efforts to provide regional
public transit and high speed rail systems in the area will also lead
to reductions in vehicle trips and improved air quality. Temecula
will be an active participant in regional planning efforts with the
County, WRCOG, SCAQMD and SCAG to support
accomplishment of these objectives.

T emecula is the lead agency for local land use decisions. As such,
the City has the authority and responsibility to ensure that such
decisions consider potential air quality impacts and are contingent
on reliable mitigation strategies. The integral relationships between
land use intensity, circulation patterns, and the reliance of residents
on automobile travel make land use decisions a very important
determinant of future air quality.
I

The primary tools available to the City to encourage air quality
mitigation strategies are the development review process and the
California Environmental Q1lality Act (CEqf.). The City will
continue to encourage development that provides both employment
and housing' opportunities so that residents do not have to drive
long distances between home and work. Promoting infill housing,
encouraging development of Mixed Use Overlay Areas, and
minimizing potential land use conflicts between pollution emitters
and sensitive receptors (identified in Figure AQ2) are additional
strategies the City will use to contribute to regional reductions in air
pollutants.

Riverside County generates the lowest volume
of annual emissions of any county in the South
Coast Air Basin. However, because of
topographical and climatological factors,
County residents are exposed to greater health
risks from air pollution than other residents in
the Basin. Automobile travel in Los Angeles
and Orange Counties is the primary cause of
air pollution in the region. Emissions are
transported to western Riverside County by prevailing wind patterns
(see Figure AQl). .

Air pollutants do not recognize political boundaries. Often the -..
policies of one community may adversely impact another A
community. This is particularly true with respect to air pollution, I
and underscores the need for regional and sub-regional
implementation of effective air quality strategies. Coordination R-
among regional agencies, the business community, special interest
groups, and individuals will ensure that measures with the greatest
emission reduction potential are addressed.
Goal 1
Continue coordination of air
improvement efforts in the Western
area.

Riverside
Policy 1.1
Coordinate planning efforts with other local,
regional and State agencies, including the County of
Riverside, WRCOG, SCAQMD and SCAG.
Policy 1.2
Encourage participation of local Cluzens, the
business community and interested groups and
individuals in air quality planning and
implementation efforts.
Policy 1.3
Promote programs that educate the public about
regional air quality lssues, opportunities and
solutions.
The number, location, and type of land uses in the Temecula
Planning Area have long-term air quality implications. A pattern of
land uses that facilitates an efficient urban form is essential to
improving and maintaining air quality. Placing complementary
land uses in proximity to one another can reduce the length and
number of vehicle trips. For example, neighborhood parks and
schools can encourage residents to walk or bike from their home to
these often-used facilities.
Goal 2
Improve air quality through effective land use
planning in Temecula.
Policy 2.1
Encourage new development that provides
employment opportunities for Temecula residents to
improve the balance of jobs relative to housing.

Mitigate air quality impacts associated with
development projects to the greatest extent feasible.
Automobile use is the single greatest contributor to air pollution in
California. Most of our air quality problems stem from our
dependence on automobiles. According to SCAG, vehicle miles
traveled have increased dramatically over past decades, with mobile
pollution sources comprising about 60 percent of air pollution in
the region. The most effective strategy for improving air quality is
making fewer automobile trips and when such trips are necessary,
making them shorter. Provision and availability of alternative
modes of transportation are essential to the success of this strategy.
Alternative transportation demand strategies can increase the
efficiency of the transportation system, reduce congestion, and
. improve regional air quality.
Goal 3
Enhance mobility to mlmmlze air pollutant
emissions.
Use transportation demand reduction techniques to
reduce motor vehicle trips.
Use transportation systems management techniques
to maintain an orderly flow of traffic and improve
mobility.
Pursue development of a public transit system
consisting of local shuttle and bus routes, as well as
bicycle and pedestrian trails that are linked to the
regional transit network.
Establish a convenient and efficient system of bicycle
routes and pedestrian walkways.
Promote the use of alternative clean-fueled vehicles,
new transportation technologies, and combustion
engine alternatives for personal and business use.
Develop and implement programs that reduce local
traffic congestion at peak hours and during special
events.

INTRODUCTION
T emecula has a rich tradition and an outstanding natural
environmental setting. Physical development can enhance
this character or it can negatively affect it. Community
design objectives define how we perceive the community,
what we experience and those characteristics that we want to
preserve. Effective community design and planning combines
important spatial considerations of land use and circulation
patterns to achieve community beautification, community pride,
and quality of life.
Community design issues related to Temecula's recent growth and
expansion remain a significant concern. These community design
issues include visual compatibility between land uses, preservation
of neighborhoods and significant natural features, quality design
treatment of existing land uses and new land use concepts, such as
mixed-use development, and provision of public improvements and
community spaces required for an evolving community.
Community design policies and criteria that address these issues can
enhance and preserve the community-wide appearance and character
of Temecula, as well as improve the quality oflife.
The Community Design Element addresses physical aspects of
Temecula that contribute to the image and character of the natural
and built environments. This Element establishes a policy
foundation to implement city-wide and focus area design criteria.
These policies provide the frameWork for:
.:. Overall city image enhancement,
.:. Preservation and enhancement of districts and neighborhoods,
.:. Design of public spaces and improvements such as
community gathering areas and the streetscape system, and
.:. Preservation of significant natural features and public
viewsheds.

Under State planning law, if a jurisdiction prepares an optional
Community Design Element, that element must be consistent with
the other General Plan elements. For example, the Land Use,
Housing, Circulation, and Conservation/Open Space Elements all
address design issues and concerns to a degree. However, the bulk
of the policies, programs, and concepts concerning community
design are found in this Element.
A number of other plans and programs help to achieve the goals of
the Community Design Element. These plans and programs are
administered by the City ofTemecula and the County of Riverside.
CITY OF TFMECill.A CITYwIDE DESIGN GUIDELINES .
Temecula's Citywide Design Guidelines provide site planning,
architectural design, and landscape design criteria for commercial,
industrial, and residential development. The guidelines also
establish criteria for unique design characteristics found within
specialized development types, such as specific commercial and
public uses. The design standards and criteria contained within the
guidelines are the primary tool for implementing the policies
contained within the Community Design Element.
CITY OF TFMECill.A DEYFLOPMENT CoDE
The Development Code is also an important implementation tool
for the Community Design Element. The Development Code
includes the City's zoning ordinance provisions, subdivision

APPROVID SPECIAC PLANs
Many -areas within the City and planning area are subject to the
plans, policies and implementation measures of currently adopted
or anticipated future Specific Plans. The purpose of Specific Plans
is to provide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent with
the General Plan. A Specific Plan area designation is used to
identifY 25 such .areas within the Temecula planning area, which
because of size, location, and/or special development opportunities
require a coordinated and comprehensive planning approach. In
identified Specific Plan areas of 100 or more acres, approval of a
Specific Plan is required prior to approval of any discretionary land
use entitlement or issuance of any building or grading permit.

At a citywide level, programs and improvements will be pursued
that enhance the visual character of Temecula and create a distinct
identity. A community design strategy utilizing these programs and
improvements provides a framework for Temecula's visual character
and distinct identity. This strategy identifies an urban form that is
functional, conveys a "sense of place," is aesthetically pleasing, and
compliments the natural environmental character of the area.
Primary city-wide community design concepts include:
.:. Effective use of open space linkages and corridors of the City
to provide conriections between activity areas including living,
working, and community spaces,

.:. Preservation of the natural and historical aspects of the
community's rural character and viewsheds, and
.:. Neighborhood compatibility between the character of existing

The Open Space System described within the Open
Space/Conservation Element of the General Plan, in combination C
with the circulation plan, provides the structural framework for 0
linking the community. These links consist of roadways defining M
major and minor streetscapes, bikeways, trails, and pedestrian
corridors that provide access to the activity nodes, as well as to other M
living and working spaces and public, open space, and recreation U
facilities. Activity nodes, including major employment centers, N
commercial centers, and civic spaces, serve as focal points that are
interconnected by the open space and circulation linkages. Focal I
intersections, where major streetscapes converge, also provide T
identity and character to the urban form. y
The landscape character of the community is determined as a result
of the design treatment of these open space areas, linkages and I)
corridors. Consideration for the interconnection of open spaces
and landscaped corridors E
should be applied to all S
development proposals. I
G
N
Major Streetscape
The visual image of the City is expressed through major entry
points and the corridors extending throughout the community.
The concept of "celebration of entry" is a basic design consideration
and has transcended ages of city design. The primary entrances or
"gateways" to the City should be clearly defined through
monumentation, signage, and extensive landscape design features.
The landscape design features
should then be extended
throughout the City along the
major streets and open space
corridors. Major streets can
be developed as a landscape
corridor with a distinctive'
visual image. These gateways,
in concert with the landscaped
corridors, also can provide
effective buffering and softening in the transition of land uses.

MIxED USE
DESIGN CONCEPT
I
The Land Use Element describes the concept of mixed use
development taking place in several projected Mixed Use Overlay
Areas. The intent of the following Mixed Use Design Concept is to
provide opportunities for development of mixtures of commercial
and residential uses that minimize vehicular circulation trips, avoid
sprawling commercial development, and offer incentives for high
quality community design. While these mixed use areas may
develop with different criteria, regulations, and visual themes, there
are certain common elements that should be addressed. The
following discussion illustrates these common considerations, or
what could be described as the "palette" of design concepts for
mixed use development. Many of these design concepts are also
applicable to development projects outside the mixed use areas. The
development of beneficial mixtures of uses, shared parking facilities,
and pedestrian-oriented design are examples of the concepts that
should be encouraged throughout the community.

LAND USES
Mixed use development consists of different types of land uses
blended together. While commercial/retail may be the primary land
use, mixed use areas will also provide additional employment
opportunities such as offices and commercial services, as well as
residential opportunities. Community meeting centers may be
included for private or public activities. These mixtures of land
uses may be in separate structures or combined within a single
building. One possibility is to have retail use on the ground floor
level, with office and/or residential uses on the upper levels. Also,
studies have demonstrated that civic or public uses and transit
accessibility greatly improve the success of mixed use development
and will be incorporated in these projects when an opportunity is
presented.

BUILDING ScALE AND DFsIGN
Mixed use areas are not intended to be developed suburban
shopping centers or strip commercial developments. The mixture
of uses, concentration of activities, and height and scale of
structures may be greater than that found in typical shopping
plazas. Multi-story structures beyond two stories may be
appropriate. By increasing the scale and height of buildings, the
ground floor area is then made available for open space, plazas and
increased pedestrian uses. These increases would allow for more
innovation in architectural and landscape design.
INCRFASED BUILDING HEIGHT
Increasing the height of buildings in the Mixed Use Overlay Areas
will allow for potential increases in both commercial and residential
development. The allowable height increases in the mixed use
areas should be designed to not adversely impact surrounding low
density residential areas. If mixed use abuts a single-family area,
new development should be stepped back and reduced in height to
remain sensitive to the scale of the adjacent residential
neighborhood. In addition, the increased development would
improve the feasibility of mass transit service options for the mixed
use areas. By allowing the possibility of workforce housing in the
mixed use areas, opportunities for diverse housing types can be
increased, consistent with the City's Housing Element objectives.
PARKING DESIGN
Treatment of parking areas is a fundamental element in achieving
effective design of any project. Parking facilities in mixed use areas
should not be the dominant visual image of the project. Vast
expanses of paving for parking in front of buildings are not
aesthetically pleasing.
The mixture of uses and potential development in these areas creates
opportunities for creative parking approaches. Efforts should be
made to minimize the number of required parking spaces through
shared parking where adjacent uses create parking demand at
different time periods. Joint parking facilities should also be
encouraged to avoid proliferation of parking lots. Subterranean
parking/parking structures should also be encouraged. Surface
parking areas should be oriented internal to the mixed use area
rather than on the perimeter of the development, as is typically seen
in suburban shopping and strip malls. Commercial patron and
resident parking should be separated or differentiated when needed.

INCENTIVES FOR HIGH QUALITY INNOVATIVE DESIGNS
Planned developments within the Mixed Use Overlay Areas will be
implemented through discretionary permitting procedures
established by the City. High quality, well-integrated design will be
considered to be a minimum requirement for development
approval. While the City development approval procedures, as well
as the Citywide Design Guidelines, provide requirements for
acceptable design, the City desires to encourage the highest quality
of building and site design.
Development in the mixed use areas can receive consideration for
increased floor area ratios and building heights for commercial
development and increased residential densities for projects that
meet some of the following criteria:
.:. Efforts are made to encourage mixtures of land uses (e.g.,
residential uses that will result in decreased traffic generation
from the project);
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
.:. Private efforts are made to incorporate transit systems within
or serving the project, such as, local jitney services, shuttle
loops, or non-motorized vehicle trails within the project areas;
.:. Special landscape design improvements are included, such as:
streetscape design in the public right of way, pedestrian plazas
and courtyards, sidewalk cafes, and overall landscape design of
the project's open space;
.:. Opportunities are created to provide affordable housing; or
.:. Public park facilities, pedestrian connections and easements,
and/or bicycle routes are provided that complement the open
space links between activity centers and other mixed use areas.

Significant effort should be placed upon encouraging site planning "
and design in commercial and business areas that is sensitive to the C
needs of the pedestrian. Typically, commercial development has 0
emphasized the automobile rather than the needs of pedestrians.
Building design can more effectively serve pedestrian needs through M
architecture that provides relief, and articulation at the first floor M
level. Retail uses at this level can provide streets cape contiguity U
amenable to the pedestrian. Continuous expanses of blank walls or
sharp unbroken vertical surfaces create an uncomfortable N
atmosphere for the pedestrian. Components that further I
pedestrian-oriented design include the following: T

Site planning for 0

pedestrian circulation
patterns. Pedestrian areas G
should be linked whenever Pedestrian Corridor N
possible to the community open space and multi-use trail system to
facilitate travel by walking, biking or other non-motorized means.
BUILDING FACADES
The design of building facades should be architecturally interesting
and in scale with the pedestrian. Ground floor elevations should
avoid large blank walls, and windows and entrances should be
located at frequent intervals. Large wall surfaces should be divided
by offsets to create distinctive shadow lines. The linear pedestrian
linkage of building facades along major streets should not be
disrupted.
STREETSCAPE DESIGN
Design of streetscape is another
factor contributing to the needs
of the pedestrian. The effective
design of the streetscape along
exterior streets, as well as interior streets is essential for the creation
of a convenient pedestrian environment. Continuity in landscape
design, placement of street furniture, sitting areas, and use of
interesting paving patterns and lighting are factors to be considered
in streetscape design.

Pedestrian plazas that are effectively placed within a commercial
development can be pleasant spaces for resting or having lunch
between shopping trips or errands. Employees should have
convenient access to places for lunch breaks. Placement of
pedestrian plazas must be carefully planned to assure their most
effective use. For this reason,
consideration must be given
to the location of plazas
relative to pedestrian
circulation patterns, sunlight
conditions, wind patterns
and the selection of building
and landscape materials.
T E M E c: U L A
CD.12
Public art can help create a sense of place and a unique identity for
neighborhoods and areas of pedestrian orientation, as well as the
community as a whole. The City encourages the provision of public
art, such as murals, mosaics, fountains, and sculpture into public
and private projects. In some instances, such as projects that are
located at the primary gateways to the community, public art will be
a required component of project design. Specific Plan areas should
have specific public art and design recommendations. As projects
are proposed in these Specific Plan areas, the public art and design
components of the projects will be subject to the review and
approval of the City.
The City will also strive to include public art within all public
projects and open space and recreation areas.
The most important element in creating
viable pedestrian spaces has to do with how
the space supports its own use and not the
actual physical design of the space. If a
space is to be conducive to pedestrian
activity, there must be opportunities for
pedestrian events and activities. Therefore,
efforts to plan and organize festivals, events, special sidewalk sales,
entertainment and cultural displays should be made to help create
desired pedestrian activity. Private marketing efforts should be
encouraged to promote these types of community events.

SIGNS
A comprehensive sign program applicable to all land uses has been
established in Temecula's Development Code. However, further
design considerations pertaining to mixed use developments should
include, at a minimum, two levels of signage. First, a minimum
number of signs should announce the identity of the mixed use
development. At the second level, a common identification sign
could locate the individual tenants within the development.
Materials for signs should be uniform through the project area.
Signs should also be designed at a scale that is not overpowering
from the pedestrian's perspective. For example, small signs with a
unique texture, shape, or interesting features can be more effective
than large, massive or glaring signs.
TRAN@TALTERNATIV2/0PTIONS
One of the primary objectives of village centers and mixed use
developments is the creation of density thresholds and a mixture of
uses that can support links between centers with mass transit. Types
of mass transit could range from a simple taxi or loop shuttle
system connecting to regional bus routes in the short term, to future
regional high speed rail transit along the 1-15 corridor.
Temecula Valley wineries and other agri-tourism businesses have
greatly increased the City's potential for tourist visits. Other tourist
commercial activities that add to
the City's character and identity
include hot air ballooning, Old
Town Temecula, and the
Pechanga Entertainment Center.
Design considerations for these
businesses will also enhance the
local economic base.

While the City of Temecula has experienced substantial..'
development since its incorporation, there remain specific areas of C
the community that have retained their original rural residential 0
character. The Land Use Element defines several of these areas as
Rural Preservation Areas (RPAs). As the City refines development M
and engineering standards, such standards should be tailored in M
RP As to preserve the rural character as well as to protect public U
safety. While most community standards are appropriate for
urbanized areas, rural residential areas may require modified zoning N
regulations and engineering/public improvement standards. Such I
standards should also focus on maintaining the rural character and T
achieving a gradual transition between rural areas and
suburban/urban development. This transJtlOn, accomplished Y
through the use of open space buffers and other techniques, is
important to ensuring compatibility between land uses. The
methods identified below should be incorporated within the
Development Code, and applied.
.:.
Reductions to the minimum width of roadways and of street
lighting requirements.
.:.
Modifications to road design standards including: elimination
of vertical curbs, paved gutters, and sidewalks (alternative
drainage techniques may be considered if adequate drainage
conditions are provided).
.:. Provision of open space and recreation buffers, increased
setbacks, landscape screening, and sensitive site planning
should be considered in the design of commercial and
employment uses, and higher density residential projects.
Similar product types and a step back in heights may also be
appropriate for new residential projects adjacent to large lot
residential areas.
.:. Where rural
residential areas
are near or
adjacent to
commercial or
employment uses,
site and building
design should
minimize the
intrusion of light,

Temecula's location and natural setting provide opportunities for
spectacular views of local agriculture and the rolling hills of
southern, eastern and western areas, as well as Murrieta and
T emecula Creeks. People traveling on regional roadways such as
Interstate 15 and Highway 79 also have direct views into the City.
With Temecula's recent rapid growth and development, the City
needs to ensure the preservation of viewsheds.
TEMECUL;\
CD-16
In order to preserve public views of significant natural resources, all
new public and private development projects will be reviewed to
ensure that they will not obstruct public views' of scenic resources,
such as the hillsides, prominent western and southern ridgelines,
scenic roads, or significant open space areas. During review of
projects, the Community Development Department may require site
redesign or place height limits
on projects that would have the
potential to block views. New
projects will also be reviewed to
ensure that the proposed
landscaping and tree planting
will not detract from the views
of significant natural resources,
including the western and
southern ridgelines.
Special attention has been given in the General Plan to the interface
between rural residential and urban development. The
compatibility between the character of single-family neighborhoods
and adjacent commercial projects is also an important consideration
within the community. Key considerations in the planning and
design of projects adjacent to single-family neighborhoods include
the following:
.:. Proposed land use densities should provide a density

Old Town Temecula represents a great opportunity for the City to
preserve its heritage while promoting local tourism. The Old Town
area is recognized as the heart of the City and a separate Specific
Plan has been prepared for the area. While the area no longer
functions as a "Town Center" or "Downtown," many of the
attributes of Old Town help to establish the area as a special place
within the City ofTemecula. The placement of additional civic and
cultural uses in Old Town
would help revitalize and
restore the area.
The Land Use Element designates areas adjacent to SR-79 South for
professional office development with limited retail convenience
services. Special design considerations are necessary to ensure that
office development is compatible with adjoining residential areas
and also creates an attractive visual image from the street. Key
considerations in the planning and design of these areas should
include the following:
.:. A garden office atmosphere should be created.
.:. Building scale should be compatible with adjacent residential
buildings.
.:. Extensive landscaping should be provided along frontages
adjacent to the roadways.
.:. Screening and landscaping are to be required adjacent to
residential areas.
.:. Parking lots should be oriented to the side or rear of the
Office/Commercial area in order to preserve landscaped front
yard setbacks.

.:. Curb cuts to Highway 79 should be minimized. Consider
internal circulation roads and common access points as
alternatives to providing direct access from each lot.
The Chaparral Area is characterized by moderately sloped hillsides
above dry washbeds. Existing development consists of segmented
lot patterns of varying sizes. This area provides an opportunity to
transition down from the larger lots found in the Los Ranchitos
and Santiago Estates areas to the south and west.
Special development considerations are necessary to
assure development does not exceed the carrying
capacity of the area, while still providing
appropriate transition of density. The following
development requirements apply within the
Chaparral Area:
CHAPARRAL AREA
.:. In areas with one unit per acre gross density, half-acre (20,000
square feet) lots may be allowed when the remaining property
is set aside and preserved for open space and habitat purposes.
All project approvals shall include conditions of approval and
requirements to ensure the long term protection and
maintenance of these open space and habitat areas.
.:. In areas with two units per acre gross density, projects shall
incorporate and support, to the maximum extent feasible, an
internal road network intended to minimize internal vehicle
trips using, and vehicular turning movement conflicts along,
Ynez Road.
.:. As part of the design review process, all future developments
shall provide trail right-of-way dedications and/or easements
for, as well as construct or agree to fund the future
construction of, the approved citywide trail network in and
adjacent to a particular development project.
.:. Constraint Areas are recognized as having the following
characteristics:
· Areas with natural slopes of 25 percent or greater.
. Areas within natural drainage courses.

The Land Use Element designates the Chaparral Area as Low
Residential, however, much of the Chaparral Area is inappropriate
for development of half-acre lots. The Development Code
implements the Low Residential designation through two zoning
districts. These districts have different development standards, such
as half-acre and one-acre minimum lot sizes. Much of the
Chaparral Area is zoned for the larger one-acre lot size.
GoAlS AND POLICIES
Temecula's Community Design goals and policies address seven
issues: 1) City image enhancement, 2) design excellence; 3)
district/neighborhood preservation and enhancement, 4) streetscape
system enhancement, 5) public views of significant natural features,
6) public spaces/resources, and 7) community gathering areas.
Land use and development decisions should make the most of the
natural assets of a given location. Preserving the remaining hillsides
and ridge lines found in the City and surrounding areas is
important to many residents and results in a more enjoyable and
satisfYing urban environment. The transition between the
urbanized areas and rural areas is particularly important in creating
a cohesive image of the community. There is a need for hillside
development standards to encourage innovative site and building
design, to enhance the visual quality of development, and to
preserve significant natural features or special habitat areas. The
City also has the opportunity to enhance links between parks, water
features and other open space lands.

A ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
T emecula's local economy contributes greatly to the overall
quality ofIife experienced by the City's residents. A healthy
local economy consists of a highly trained and educated
workforce, diversified businesses, accessibility to major
highways and freeways, available housing, financial assistance to
businesses, and infrastructure ready to serve technologically
advanced businesses. Temecula's accessible location along the 1-15/1-
215 freeway corridors, business-friendly outlook, and excellent
quality of life make it one of the most attractive cities in Southern
California for business location. Using these incentives, the City
has a valuable opportunity to attract, retain, and expand the local
business community. This will in turn ensure Temecula's fiscal and
financial health, allowing for a high level of public services and
programs. Economic development goals and policies set the tone
and direction for the City's business community.
The Economic Development Element provides policy to improve
the economic viability of Temecula through provision of balanced
employment and housing opportunities, attraction and retention of
businesses, and promotion of fiscal strength and stability in the
community.
Preparation of an Economic Development Element is not required
under State law, but the Government Code authorizes cities and
counties to adopt additional elements as deemed relevant and
necessary. State General Plan Guidelines include Economic
Development as a suggested topic to promote fiscal stability and
economic growth. If a jurisdiction prepares an optional Economic
Development Element, that element must be consistent with the
other General Plan elements. The Economic Development Element
is most directly related .to goals, policies, and implementation
programs within Temecula's Land Use, Circulation, Housing, and
Community Design Elements.

Economic Alliance to promote economic and job growth in the
Temecula area. The Alliance includes the Cities of Murrieta, Lake
Elsinore and the County of Riverside.
Cm OF TEMECill.A FAST TRACK PROGRAM
T emecula promotes the business advantages of locating in the City
with the Fast Track Program. The program provides a means of
expediting a commercial project in an efficient and timely manner.
Priority treatment is given to qualified applicants to accelerate land

projects that require expediting due to funding constraints, escrow
timelines or internal business timelines.
OLD TOWN SPECIAC PLAN
The Old Town area provides an important retail environment
within a historic setting, and is a key component of Temecula's
tourism industry. The Old Town Specific Plan was completed in
part to provide economic development incentives and guidance.
The Old Town Specific Plan implements the goals and policies of
the General Plan within the Old Town Area. Goals, policies and
programs relating to the Old Town Area are included in the Land
Use, Community Design, and Economic Development Elements of
the General Plan.
CULTURAL ARTS MASTER. PLAN
The Cultural Arts Master Plan was prepared in 1998. The Plan
examined the cultural and civic amenities that enhance the quality
of life for local residents. Issues considered included the need to
provide and support a wide range of art and cultural programs, to
encourage the provision and enhancement of public spaces, and to
promote the local historic legacy. These represent some of the
intangible factors that help make Temecula a desirable place to live
and work.

Temecula has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades.
The City has had great success in diversifYing the manufacturing
base, significandy expanding retailing opportunities, and
broadening both residential and tourist opportunities. However,
new growth pressures within the Planning Area have created new
challenges and opportunities. The City's economic development
efforts must focus on attracting and retaining businesses that:
.:. Complement Temecula's character and take advantage of the
City's supply of quality housing and locational benefits.
.:. Stimulate jobs, economic growth, and fiscal stability.
.:. Serve local employment, shopping, and entertainment needs.
.:. Expand the selection of conveniently located goods and
semces.
The City's economic profile and the population and income
characteristics suggest that the following economic development
- challenges face the City:
.:. The revitalization of older commercial districts.
.:. Transition to a professional office/financial district
environment while maintaining the diversified manufacturing
base.
.:. Improving circulation, particularly to the industrial areas and
along the SR-79 corridor, as well as better regional, high speed
transportation solutions.
.:. Preserving and building upon tourist opportunities, such as
the wineries, Old Town Temecula, and the Pechanga
Entertainment Center.
Public and private efforts will be required to ensure the fiscal
strength and stability of the City and to meet market demand. The
goals and policies of this Element address these challenges.
Additionally, the following programs are proposed:

Temecula's Redevelopment
Agenry has prepared an
implementation plan for
the Redevelopment Project
Area. This Redevelopment
Plan is one of the tools the
City uses to achieve
economlC development
objectives.
PLANs IN ACTION
The City works with
several organizations to
obtain input from the
business community
regarding the best means
for assisting local businesses
and maintaining a healtby
business environment.
TEMECULA RIDEVaOPMENT AGENCY
The Temecula Redevelopment Agency was formed to provide a tool
to eliminate blighting conditions and ensure that the City's
economic base would grow and remain healthy through new public
improvements, commercial development, and affordable housing.
Prior to Temecula's incorporation in 1989, the County of Riverside
established a Redevelopment Project Area in accordance with
California Community Redevelopment Law to eliminate blight
within designated areas. After incorporation, the City of Temecula
assumed responsibility for administering the Project Area shown in
Figure ED-I. The Project Area encompasses sections of the
community with conditions that often impede the City's
development: such as abandoned buildings, substandard housing,
empty parcels, and vandalism.
CoORDINATION wrrn REGIONAL EcONOMIC
DEVaOPMENT AGENCIFS
The City coordinates with the Southwest California Economic
Development Alliance, Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce,
and the Economic Development Corporation of Southwest
Riverside County to address the needs of businesses in the
community.
EcONOMIC DEVaOPMENT ACTION PLAN
The City has developed an Economic Development Action Plan
that will be periodically updated to attract new businesses and retain
existing businesses. Based on ongoing research performed by the
City, the Economic Development Action Plan may address the
following concerns:
.:. Monitoring retail and meeting demand. The City has over 3
million square feet of retail centers including regional centers
such as The Plaza and The Commons. Both centers have large
value-oriented retailers, such as Lowes, Office Depot, Circuit
City and Costco.
.:. Maintaining a strong retail poslnon. Taxable sales data
from the California State Board of Equalization indicates that
the City nearly doubled taxable retail sales in recent decades.
Non-retail (business-to-business) taxable sales also increased

C
This Appendix describes T emecula' s overall economic profile in
terms of standard economic indices: population growth,
employment and salary trends, future employment growth,
employment and wage growth trends, taxable retail sales, and non-
retail sales.
As mentioned above, Temecula experienced tremendous population
growth from 1990 to 2002, increasing from 27,099 to 72,715 people,
or by 168.3 percent. During the same time period, the City's
employment rose from 13,590 to 33,105 (up 19,515 jobs or 143.6
percent). Riverside County was California's fastest growing major
County during this period, with population increasing by more
than 30 percent. The City's focus is on developing a vision that will
address the quality of life while maintaining control in areas where
it has achieved economic strength, such as the industrial base and
retail centers.
Growth has resulted in circulation issues, with high traffic volumes
at major intersections and ramps along 1-15. Although the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) expects
the City to experience slower growth in the future, the
unincorporated areas are expected to develop at a rapid pace.
SCAG also indicates that the local employment will grow faster
than population. According to SCAG, the City's population is
projected to grow at an average annual rate of 0.7 percent from
2005 to 2020 while employment is projected to grow at an average
annual rate of 2.9 percent.
Development in the County has also impacted the City at its
boundaries and adjacent areas. Unplanned development of nearby
areas such as Red Hawk and Vail Ranch, and in the French Valley
continues to pose issues for the City. Growth pressure on the
wineries at the City's edge is also a major concern. Coordination
with the County will be critical to ensuring that growth patterns are
compatible with the City's vision.

TRENDS
T emecula's emergence as a center of job growth is primarily the
result of the migration of firms and people to the Inland Empire
from the Southland's coastal counties. This migration is occurring
as the density of land development in San Diego, Orange and Los
Angeles counties has created a shortage of manufacturing and
housing space, and increased space costs. Temecula is unique in
that the major impetus for the growth is coming north out of San
Diego County and secondarily from Orange or Los Angeles'
counties. Also, the jobs coming to the City are better paying than
the Inland Empire average.

As shown in Table ED-I, employment in Temecula rose from about
13,570 jobs in 1991 to about 25,140 in 1999. This represents a total
increase of almost 11,570 jobs or an 85.3 percent increase in total
employment. Retail and Manufacturing showed the largest increase
in jobs from 1991 to 1999, adding 2,551 and 2,449 positions,
respectively.

The large increase in Employment Agencies is due to the increasing , ""~
reliability of firms on outside agencies to recruit, train and supply E
new workers. The Hotel and Amusement - sector also grew C
dramatically, in large part due to the Pechanga Entertainment
Center. Only the Agriculture and Engineering and Management 0
sectors lost jobs, declining by 0.4 percent and 46.9 percent, N
respectively. While Manufacturing employment grew strongly and 0
remained the largest sector in 1999, its share of total jobs declined M
from 25.2 percent to 23.3 percent from 1991 to 1999 as the
economic base became more diversified. Retail employment I
increased its share of the total jobs in this period from 20.8 percent C
to 21.4 percent and has expanded further with the opening of the
Promenade Mall.
Average pay per worker in Temecula increased from $28,695 in 1991
to $33,349 in 1999 in constant 2001 dollars. This represents an
increase of 16.2 percent. As shown in Figure ED-2, the highest
salary per worker in 1999 was in the Manufacturing and Utilities
sectors. This is the result of the concentration of biotechnology,
medical and computer chip firms in the City. The City's other
relatively higher paying sectors were Finance, Insurance and Real
Estate, Engineering and Management, and Education. Those
averaging below $20,000 included the Retail, Hotel & Am'usement
and the fast growing Employment Agencies sectors.

TAXABLE
REf AIL SALES
Based ona 1997/98 survey jointly conducted by the clues of
Murrieta and Temecula, about 32.0 percent of the labor force was
employed in the Services industry, 18.0 percent in Manufacturing,
and 9.0 percent in Retail. Also, the City for the most part has a
high-skilled labor force. The survey indicated that about 60.0
percent of the adult area labor force holds a professional, technical,
or managerial position with an additional 20.0 percent in clerical
and sales occupations. Office development in the City would be
compatible with much of this type of labor force.

Based on survey commuting data, a large percentage of the area
labor force is commuting to jobs outside of the area. The survey
indicated that about 68.0 percent of the area's adult working
. residents commute away from the Temecula or Murrieta area to
.. their work site, with an average one-way commute of 36 miles.
Retail trade increased in Temecula every year since the City's 1989
incorporation, even during Southern California's recession. As a
result, the City's retail sales growth has exceeded that of Riverside
County throughout the decade. Temecula has shown tremendous
retail activity and taxable retail sales in the City have grown by 174
percent from 1991 to 2000 in year 2000 constant dollars. As shown
in Table ED-2, total taxable retail sales in T emecula have increased
in real dollars from 1991 to 2000 from about $442.1 million to
about $1.20 billion. Taxable retail sales in the County increased by
57.2 percent during this time period. Additionally, one of the
City's strengths is a growing base of manufacturing firms that
generate non-retail taxable goods through taxable sales to other
businesses and the public. The City has also been attracting new
retail merchants as well as large General Merchandise stores.
Increased residential development in the City will continue to
provide support for retail growth.
As shown in Table ED-2, taxable sales in Temecula in all categories
have increased dramatically, particularly in Home Furnishings,
General Merchandise, and Auto Dealers. The largest portions of the
City's retail sales tax were from Auto Dealers and General
Merchandise stores, which comprised about 24 percent and 21
percent respectively, of the total taxable retail sales during 2000.

Per capita retail sales are a rough estimate of the change in retail
sales, and are calculated by dividing the total retail sales by the
City's total population. This is a good indicator of a community's
ability to provide services to its population as the sales tax is the
primary source of municipal finance in California. Figure ED-3
shows per capita taxable retail sales in 1991 and 2000 in constant
2000 dollars for the City of Temecula, selected nearby communities
and the County. As shown, Temecula's per capita taxable retail
sales has increased from $15,481 to $20,037 from 1991 to 2000. Per
capita taxable retail sales in the cities of Lake Elsinore and Hemet
also rose in real dollars by 28.9 percent and 9.3 percent, while the
County's per capita taxable retail sales rose by 24.4 percent. Per
capita taxable retail sales in Corona fell slightly, by 0.5 percent.

Another common indicator of a community's economic position
is the value of commercial land used for non-retail uses,
specifically industrial/manufacturing and office, within the City.
This market provides employment beyond the retail and service
industries, and also tends to be more stable across economic
cycles.

Temecula is part of the Inland Empire's industrial real estate
market, which is among the strongest in the United States. The
City's attractive setting, industrial marketing policies, and position
on the 1-15 freeway equidistant from San Diego and Orange
Counties, has allowed it to draw upscale manufacturing firms that
might otherwise have located in more intensely urbanized areas of
the Inland Empire. The City's close proximity to 1-15 provides
access to key transportation facilities needed by industrial firms, as
well as job opportunities for those living in T emecula and nearby
communities. The City also offers companies access to logistics
centers such as the Ontario International Airport and Burlington
Northern Santa Fe's (BNSF) Intermodal Rail Yard in San
Bernardino. Additionally, the area offers land and lease price
advantages.
Coldwell Banker estimates that in April 2000, Temecula had 7.8
million square feet of strictly manufacturing and distribution space,
representing 3.3 percent of the Inland Empire's inventory.
Temecula's inventory of industrial space increases to about 9.9
million square feet if multi-tenant sites are included. This
represents an increase of about 58.4 percent from the 6.25 million
square feet of industrial space in 1990.
From 1992 to 1999, the onset of firms into the Inland Empire
reduced Temecula's industrial vacancy rate from 14.0 percent to 6.0
percent. In April 2000, Temecula's industrial space vacancy rate was
estimated at 10.8 percent. This ranks it in the middle of the 18
Inland Empire sub-markets. By size, Temecula's highest vacancy
rate was in 50,000 to 99,999 square feet category at 21.5 percent. In
the 100,000 square feet and greater category, the rate was about 6.0
percent.
The Inland Empire's industrial properties enjoy an advantage in
terms of space costs. Manufacturing and distribution firms find that
the Inland Empire is the only place where large new facilities can be
built. Grubb & Ellis estimates that Temecula's industrial space has
an average lease rate of $0.39 per square foot per month. This is
lower than the rates in any of Southern California's coastal sub-
markets. In San Diego County's Escondido and Vista markets, the
average is $0.55 per square foot. Within the Inland Empire,
Temecula's $0.39 rate is above the region's $0.33 average. It is also
slightly higher than the nearest comparable costs in Corona at $0.37
and Fontana and Chino at $0.35.

Recent data on the office market in T emecula is provided by CB
Richard Ellis, which includes Temecula as part of the San Diego
County Office Market. As shown in Table ED-3, as of 4th quarter
2001 the Temecula sub-market comprised about 1.13 million square
feet, or about 2.7 percent of the San Diego Office Market's total
45.6 million square feet. The estimated vacancy rate of 2.7 percent
for the Temecula sub-market was one of the lowest of all the sub-
markets, and was less than the total market area's 9.7 percent.
Similar to the industrial market, the office market in Temecula also
has cost advantages. The average lease rate for T emecula office space
was $1.26 per square foot per month, compared to the market
average of $ 1.80 per square foot per month. These lower average
lease rates could attract new office development in the City,
providing reduced commute times for those working outside the
area.
Trends indicate that the office market in T emecula will continue to
remain strong. The Temecula office sub-market increased its share of
the total San Diego market area from 1.8 percent at year-end 1999 to
2.5 percent of the total at year-end 2001. The vacancy rate in
Temecula declined from 1999 to 2001, compared to the market area,
which showed an increased vacancy rate during this time period.

The characteristics of different uses or activities that permit them to~1i~
be located near each other in harmony and without conflict. Some
elements affecting compatibility include: intensity of occupancy as
measured by dwelling units per acre; pedestrian or vehicular traffic
generated; volume of goods handled; and such environmental effects
as noise, vibration, glare, air pollution, or the presence of hazardous
materials. On the other hand, many aspects of compatibility are
based on personal preference and are much harder to measure
quantitatively, at least for regulatory purposes.
A building, or group of buildings, in which units are owned
individually, and the structure, common areas and facilities are
owned by all the owners on a proportional, undivided basis.
A mechanism employing growth management techniques, including
traffic level of service requirements, development mitigation
programs, transportation systems management, and capital
improvement programming, for the purpose of controlling and/or
reducing the cumulative regional traffic impacts of development.

is a generic term and includes (1) non-<:onforming structures (by
virtue of size, type of construction, location on land, or proximity
to other structures), (2) non-<:onforming use of a conforming
building, (3) non-<:onforming use of a non-<:onforming building,
and (4) non-<:onforming use of land. Thus, any use lawfully existing
on any piece of property that is inconsistent with a new or amended
General Plan, and that in turn is a violation of a zoning ordinance
amendment subsequently adopted in conformance with the General

(Section 65302) requires that General Plans describe the objectives,
principles, "standards," and proposals of the General Plan.
Examples of standards might include the number of acres of park
land per 1,000 population that the community will attempt to
acquire and improve. (2) Requirements in a zoning ordinance that
govern building and development as distinguished from use
restrictions; for example, site-<lesign regulations such as lot area,
height limit, frontage, landscaping, and floor area ratio.
A non-mobile emitter of pollution.
The visual image defined by the edges of development projects and
the physical improvements within the boundaries of the street right-
of-way (e.g. parking, lights, landscape, signs).
Anything constructed or erected which requires location on the
ground (excluding swimming pools, fences, and walls used as
fences).
The division of a lot, tract or parcel of land that is the subject of an
application for subdivision.
Division 2 (Sections 66410 et seq) of the California Government
Code. This act vests in local legislative bodies the regulation and
control of the design and improvement of subdivisions, including
requirements for tentative and final maps. See "Subdivision."

the like.
Configuration of a surface, including relief and the position of
natural and built features.
A strategy for reducing demand on the road system by reducing the
number of vehicles using the roadways and/or increasing the
number of persons per vehicle. TDM attempts to reduce the
number of persons who drive alone on the roadway during the
commute period and to increase the number in carpools, vanpools,
buses and trains, and those walking and biking. TDM can be an
element ofTSM. See below.
Individual actions or comprehensive plans to reduce the number of
vehicular trips generated by or attracted to new or existing
development. TSM measures attempt to reduce the number of
vehicle trips by increasing bicycle or pedestrian trips or by
expanding the use of bus, transit, carpool, vanpool, or other high
occupancy vehicles.
A one-way journey that proceeds from an origin to a destination via
a single mode of transportation. Each trip has one "production
end," (or origin - often from home, but n6t always), and one
"attraction end," (destination).
Areas, designated by overlay zones within the Development Code,
set aside for development characterized by a concentration and
mixture of compatible uses including: retail commercial, office,
public facilities, recreation uses, and housing, designed to encourage
non-automotive modes of transportation.
