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

meeting with Public Works. All project sites containing suitable habitat for burrowing owls,
whether owls were found or not, require a 30-day preconstruction survey that shall be
conducted within 30 days prior to ground disturbance to avoid direct take of burrowing owls. If
the results of the survey indicate that no burrowing owls are present on-site, then the project
may move forward with grading, upon Planning Division approval. If burrowing owls are found
to be present or nesting on-site during the preconstruction survey, then the following
recommendations must be adhered to: Exclusion and relocation activities may not occur

138. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
that "the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may
include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of
furniture and color definition can serve as a means of identifying controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they
are moving from public to semi-public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where there is
good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location
and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and
possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural
surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel
safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may conflict
with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for example) by distance,
natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal
users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to
be aware of the risk of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight
serve to provide such a perception of surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through improved
communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and design efficiencies, such as the
location of restrooms in a public building.
139. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their location
can contact the Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police Department at (951)
695-2773.
140. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
695-2773.

Criteria and Project Information
Criteria Comments:
a. As stated in Section 3.2.3 of the MSHCP, "Proposed Constrained Linkage 13 consists of Murrieta
Creek, located in the southwestern region of the Plan Area. This Constrained Linkage connects Existing
Core F (Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve) in the north to Proposed Linkage 10 in the south. This
Linkage is constrained along most of its length by existing urban Development and agricultural use and
the planned land use surrounding the Linkage consists of city (Murrieta and Temecula). Therefore, care
must be taken to maintain high quality riparian Habitat within the Linkage and along the edges for
species such as yellow warbler, yellow-breasted chat, and least Bell's vireo, which have key populations
located in or along the creek. Maintenance of existing floodplain processes and water quality along the
creek is also important to western pond turtle and arroyo chub in this area. Guidelines Pertaining to
Urban/Wildlands Interface for the management of edge factors such as lighting, urban runoff, toxics,
and domestic predators are presented in Section 6.1.4 of this document" [MSHCP].
b. The project site is located partially within Cell 6891 and partially outside of the criteria area. As
stated in Section 3.3.15 of the MSHCP, "Conservation within this Cell will contribute to assembly
According to the JPR application,the site is 8.48 acres. However,the other materials provided state 8.62 acres. For the purposes
of this JPR,the acreage estimates for these findings will be the numbers provided by the Permittee.

of Proposed Constrained Linkage 13. Conservation within this Cell will focus on riparian scrub,
woodland, forest, Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub and grassland habitat along Murrieta Creek.
Areas conserved within this Cell will be connected to Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub, riparian
scrub, woodland and forest habitat proposed for conservation in Cell 6890 to the west and to
riparian scrub, woodland and forest habitat proposed for conservation in Cell 7021 to the south.
Conservation within this Cell will range from 15% to 25% of the Cell focusing in the
southwestern portion of the Cell."
c. Rough Step: The proposed project is within Rough Step Units 5 and 6. Rough Step 5 encompasses
91,734 acres within the southwestern corner of western Riverside County and includes the Santa Rosa
Plateau, the Tenaja Corridor, and Murrieta Creek. It is bounded by Interstate 15 to the northeast, San
Diego County to the south and the Santa Ana Mountains in the Cleveland National Forest to the west.
Within Rough Step 5, 24,326 acres are located within the Criteria Area. Key vegetation communities
within Rough Step Unit 5 include coastal sage scrub; grasslands; riparian scrub, woodland, forest; and
Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub and woodlands and forests. Based on the 2014 MSHCP Annual
Report, all vegetation categories are "in" rough step. Based on the MSHCP vegetation mapping,
vegetation on the proposed project site is mostly grassland with some agricultural areas. Therefore,
development on the project site will not conflict with or interfere with the Rough Step Status of Unit 5.
In addition, Rough Step 6 encompasses 101,542 acres within the south-central region of western
Riverside County and includes Antelope Valley, Warm Springs Creek, Paloma Creek, Lake Skinner,
Johnson Ranch, and Diamond Valley Lake. Rough Step Unit 6 is bounded by Interstate 15 to the
northwest, Bundy Canyon Road and Olive Avenue to the north, and Palm Avenue to the west. Within
Rough Step 6, 24,836 acres are located within the Criteria Area. Key vegetation communities within
Rough Step Unit 6 include coastal sage scrub; grasslands; riparian scrub, woodland, forest; and
woodlands and forests. Based on the 2014 MSHCP Annual Report, all vegetation categories are "in"
rough step. Based on the MSHCP vegetation mapping, vegetation on the proposed project site is mostly
grassland with some agricultural areas. Therefore, development on the project site will not conflict with
or interfere with the Rough Step Status of Unit 6.

Western Riverside County Date: 07/13/17
directly east of Interstate 15 (I-15), at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of Rancho
Drive and DLR Drive in the City of Temecula. Auto dealerships are located to the east and
commercial/industrial uses to the south. There are two non-contiguous lots totaling 8.48 acres, located on
either side of and partially encompassing Empire Creek. Currently there is no development plan; however
it is anticipated that 6.0 acres of the north parcel will be developed as a commercial truck sales facility
with a showroom and office space surrounded by new and used truck lots. The remainder of the north
parcel, and the entire south parcel, will remain in its existing condition (2.48 acres). The entire project
footprint will be enclosed by chain-link fencing. This fencing will be constructed along the top of the
existing elevated berm that parallels the north bank of Empire Creek. This fence will serve as a physical
barrier between the future Area to be Developed and the Area of Avoidance on the north parcel. As the
north parcel will be developed as a commercial truck sales facility, it will not result in unauthorized public
access, domestic animal predation, illegal trespass,or dumping in Empire Creek.
The site is currently vacant and undeveloped, and has been permitted for grading twice in the past, once in
1999 and again in 2003. There are two retention basins in the northwest and southwest corners of the north
parcel. In addition, a catch basin has been excavated in the southern portion of this parcel. The drain pipe
from the catch basin opens into Empire Creek. Piles of dirt, discarded construction materials, and a dirt
track used to test drive off-road vehicles are also present on the north parcel. An Eastern Municipal Water
District sewer line and access road are present along the parcel's west property line adjacent to the I-15.
Portions of both parcels are in or near the banks and channel of Empire Creek. According to the Principe
Analysis, vegetation present on the two parcels is described as Residential/Urban/Exotic (6.8 acres) and
Riparian Forest (1.7 acres). The ruderal community is growing on heavily compacted soils throughout the
north parcel and in the southeast corner of the south parcel and is dominated with invasive non-native
species but also consists of some native species, including those growing in the retention basins that are
usually associated with seasonally wet areas. Non-natives within the ruderal community include, but are
not limited to, shortpod mustard (Brassica geniculata), brome grasses (Bromus diandrus and B.
madritensis subsp. rubens), tocalote (Centaurea melitensis), filarees (Erodium botrys and B. cicutarium),
and Russian-thistle (Salsola tragus). Native species are mostly confined to the manufactured banks of
Empire Creek and the retention basins and include annual burweed (Ambrosia acanthicarpa), western
ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya var. californica), common horseweed (Conyza canadensis), paniculate
tarplant (Deinandra paniculata), leafy daisy (Erigeron foliosus var. foliosus), interior California
buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum subsp.foliolosum), alkali heliotrope (Heliotropium curassavicum
subsp. oculatum), telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandora), and coastal deerweed (Lotus scoparius
subsp. Scoparius). The Riparian forest community is growing within Empire Creek on sandy and loamy
alluvial soils and includes a tree canopy of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp), western sycamore (Platanus
racemosa), western cottonwood (Populus fremontii subsp.fremontii), black willow (Salix gooddingii),
red willow (Salix laevigata), and Mediterranean tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) with an understory of
western ragweed, yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica), California mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana),
mule fat (Baccharis salicifolia), interior California buckwheat, arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis var.

lasiolepis), narrow-leaved willow (Salix exigua), Mexican elderberry (Sambucus mexicana), Peruvian
pepper tree (Schinus molle), and cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium var. canadense), and a number of the
nonnative species listed above.
e. Reserve Assembly: As mentioned above, the project site is located within Cell 6891. Conservation within
this Cell will contribute to assembly of Proposed Constrained Linkage 13, and will range from 15% to
25%of the Cell focusing in the southwestern portion of the Cell. The focus is on riparian scrub, woodland,
forest, Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub and grassland habitat along Murrieta Creek. Areas conserved
within this Cell will be connected to Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub, riparian scrub, woodland and
forest habitat proposed for conservation in Cell 6890 to the west and to riparian scrub, woodland and forest
habitat proposed for conservation in Cell 7021 to the south.
Using the mid-range of the area described for conservation (20%) within Cell 6891, approximately 32
acres are described for conservation with the focus being on Murrieta Creek. The project site is located
east of the area described for conservation, separated from Murrieta Creek by existing development and
the I-15. Furthermore, more than half of the proposed project site is located outside of the Criteria Area.
Given the location of the project outside of the area described for conservation, its location bound by the I-
15 and existing and pending development, the proposed project would not impede the Reserve Assembly
goals for Proposed Constrained Linkage 13.

Other Plan Requirement Comments:
a. Section 6.1.2: According to the Principe Analysis, riparian/riverine resources were observed on the site.
One riparian/riverine resource, Empire Creek and associated riparian forest vegetation, was evaluated
within the proposed project site. According to the Analysis, there is a total of 1.68 acres of riparian/riverine
resources located within the project site. According to the Proposed Land Use Map in the Analysis, direct
impacts to the ephemeral Empire Creek will be avoided. Drainage on the south parcel is by gravity flow
down Empire Creek and into Murrieta Creek via a network of culverts and underground storm drain
systems constructed downstream of its source located northeast of Rancho California Road. See Section
6.1.4 below relative to indirect impacts to Empire Creek and Murrieta Creek.
Fairy Shrimp: Two retention basins and four road ruts were determined to potentially support suitable
habitat for listed fairy shrimp. Therefore, wet and dry season surveys for the two retention basins and
four road ruts were conducted in in accordance with Survey Guidelines for Listed Large Branchiopods
(USFWS 2015). Results of both wet and dry season sampling were determined to be negative for the
federally listed threatened vernal pool fairy shrimp (Brachinecta lynchi) and the federally listed
endangered Riverside fairy shrimp (Streptocephalus woottoni).
Wet season surveys were conducted from December 21, 2016 through April 19, 2017. During the
2016/2017 wet season surveys, four road rut features were identified as potential suitable fairy shrimp
habitat; therefore, these road ruts were included in the 2016/2017 wet season surveys. Retention basin
1 results included identification of Napulii fairy shrimp and immature Branchinecta sp. on January 4,
2017. On January 11, 2017, mature fairy shrimp were collected and identified as the common fairy
shrimp (Branchinecta lindahli) and were subsequently collected and identified from this feature on
January 18, 25, February 1, 8, 15, 22, and March 15, 2017. Retention basin 2 results included
identification of Napulii fairy shrimp on December 28, 2016. On January 4, 2017, mature fairy shrimp
were collected and identified as the common fairy shrimp and were subsequently collected and
identified from this feature on January 11, 18, 25, February 1, 8, 15, 22, and March 15, 2017. Road rut
1 results included the collection and identification of common fairy shrimp on January 4, 2017 with
subsequent collections and identifications on January 11, 18, and 25, 2017. No fairy shrimp or other
aquatic species were collected or observed from road ruts 2, 3, or 4.
A dry season survey for the two retention basins was completed on September 27, 2016 and a dry
season survey was completed on May 27, 2017 for the four road ruts. The surveys consisted of soil
collection, soil storage, soil analysis, cyst identification, and preservation where applicable. According
to the Results of the Dry Season Fairy Shrimp Survey dated November 18, 2016, no eggs were found in
any of the samples from the two retention basins. According to the Results of the Road Rut Dry Season
Fairy Shrimp Survey dated July 7, 2017, no Streptocephalus sp. eggs were observed; however,
Branchinecta sp. eggs were identified from road rut 1. These findings were determined to be
consistent with the wet season survey results where Branchinecta lindahli were found within road rut

1. The 2015 protocol indicates Branchinecta sp. eggs may need to be identified to species level via
DNA analysis2, or culturing. Culturing is possible, but it would just replicate results gathered in the
wet season, which in this case found only the common fairy shrimp, Branchinecta lindahli to be
present. In addition, there were no basins containing cysts in the dry season, that didn't have fairy
shrimp in the wet season.
Riparian Birds: A field assessment determined that suitable least Bell's vireo habitat (e.g., riparian
forest) is present on the site, along an approximately 680-foot long reach of Empire Creek. Eight surveys
were conducted in the morning at least 10 days apart between April 21 and July 6, 2016, following the
Least Bell's Vireo Survey Guidelines (USFWS, 2001). According to Principe, least Bell's vireo (LBVI)
was not observed nor heard calling during any of the nesting season surveys. Southwestern willow
flycatchers (Empidonax traillii extimus) and/or yellow-billed cuckoos (Coccyzus americanus) were also
not observed nor heard calling during any of the nesting season surveys. Furthermore, no LBVI nests or
nests of any bird species were found in the riparian forest habitat, including in the shrub layer present 2
to 10 feet above the ground.
Based on the information provided by Principe and Finium, the project demonstrates compliance with
Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP.
b. Section 6.1.3: The project site is not located within a Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Area
(NEPSSA). The project demonstrates compliance with Section 6.1.3 of the MSHCP.
c. Section 6.3.2: The project site is not within a Criteria Area Species Survey Area (CASSA). The project
is located within the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures Areas for burrowing owl. Using the
Burrowing Owl Survey Instructions for the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation
Plan Area(March 29, 2006), an assessment was made of the presence of suitable burrowing owl habitat
on the two parcels and in a 150-meter buffer zone around the project boundary. The assessment
determined that the north parcel and the buffer zone provide suitable burrowing owl habitat consisting of
open expanses of sparsely vegetated areas on gentle rolling and level terrain with active small mammal
burrows. Small mammal signs discovered on the site (i.e., mounds, burrows, nests, etc.) indicated the
presence of Botta's pocket gophers (Thomomys bottae), pocket mice (Perognathus sp.), deer mice
(Peromyscus sp.), and woodrats (Neotoma sp.); however, the natural burrows measured less than three
inches in diameter. In addition, no California ground squirrel burrows measuring greater than 4 inches in
diameter were observed. Features capable of being used for roosting and/or nesting are present on north
parcel and in the buffer zone, and include artificial burrows created by piles of construction materials.
Four burrowing surveys were conducted during morning hours on April 23, April 30, May 11, and May
18, 2016 during weather that was conducive to observing burrowing owls outside of their burrows, and
detecting burrowing owl sign. Surveys were not conducted within five days, or during high winds (> 20
mph), dense fog, or temperatures over 90°F. Surveys were conducted by slowly walking through
2 DNA analysis is not an option per Stacey Love(USFWS)as indicated via email that there are no laboratories/entities authorized
or available to conduct DNA analyses on branchiopod cysts.

suitable habitats on the north parcel and in the buffer zone. The survey transects were spaced to allow
100 percent visual coverage of the ground surface. Because topography throughout the site is basically
flat-lying and featureless, the distance between transect center lines was approximately 30 meters.
According to Principe, no burrowing owls were observed, and features capable of being used for
roosting or nesting were not being used (e.g., artificial burrows). Burrowing owl sign was not discovered
anywhere on the north parcel or in the buffer zone (e.g., molted feathers, cast pellets, prey remains,
eggshell fragments, and/or excrement at or near a burrow entrance). There was no evidence of either
active habitats presently being used by burrowing owls, or habitats abandoned within the last year. An
updated focused burrowing owl survey was conducted during morning hours on May 13, 20, and 27 and
June 3, 2017 during weather that was conducive to observing burrowing owls outside of their burrows,
and detecting burrowing owl sign. According to Principe, no burrowing owls were observed, and
features capable of being used for roosting or nesting were not being used (e.g., artificial burrows).
Burrowing owl sign was not discovered anywhere on the north parcel or in the buffer zone (e.g., molted
feathers, cast pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, and/or excrement at or near a burrow entrance).
There was no evidence of either active habitats presently being used by burrowing owls, or habitats
abandoned within the last year.
A 30-day pre-construction survey for burrowing owls is required prior to initial ground-disturbing
activities to ensure that no owls have colonized the site in the days or weeks preceding construction. If
burrowing owls have colonized the project site prior to the initiation of construction, the project
proponent should immediately inform the Wildlife Agencies and the Western Riverside Regional
Conservation Association (RCA), and would need to prepare a Burrowing Owl Protection and
Relocation Plan for approval by the Wildlife Agencies prior to initiating ground disturbance.
Based on the information provided by Principe, the project demonstrates consistency with Section 6.3.2
of the MSHCP.
d. Section 6.1.4: Future and existing Conservation Areas are not located directly adjacent to the project
site. However, the site is located adjacent to Empire Creek which is directly connected to Murrieta
Creek described for conservation. As such there is connectivity, especially relative to water quality, run-
off, potential pollutants, and invasive species. To preserve the integrity of areas dedicated as MSHCP
Conservation Areas, guidelines in Section 6.1.4 do apply to the proposed project and shall be
implemented by the Permittee in their actions relative to the project. Specifically, the Permittee should
include as project conditions of approval the following measures.
i. Incorporate measures to control the quantity and quality of runoff from the site entering the
MSHCP Conservation Area or any tributaries to the Conservation Area. In particular, measures
shall be put in place to avoid discharge of untreated surface runoff from developed and paved
areas into MSHCP Conservation Areas (Murrieta Creek) or into areas, such as Empire Creek,
connected to Conservation Areas. This would include, at a minimum, compliance with National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System requirements and preparation and implementation of a

Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prepared pursuant to San Diego Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements. The WQMP will also comply with City of Temecula and
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District requirements for the 2010
Santa Margarita Region Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. Any water
quality or other drainage discharges must be reviewed by RCA prior to conveyance into
the MSHCP Conservation Area. This condition is applicable to areas either already
dedicated to conservation or those described for conservation.
ii. Avoided riparian/riverine areas should be protected pursuant to a conservation easement or other
mechanism. Subsequently,all avoided areas should be mapped by the Permittee as conservation areas.
iii. 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. The greatest risk is from
landscaping fertilization overspray and runoff.
iv. 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.
v. 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.
vi. Consider the invasive, non-native plant species listed in Table 6-2 of the MSHCP in approving
landscape plans to avoid the use of invasive species for the portions of the project 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.
vii. 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 into existing and future MSHCP Conservation Areas. Such
barriers may include native landscaping, rocks/boulders, fencing, walls, signage, and/or other
appropriate mechanisms.
viii. Manufactured slopes associated with proposed site development shall not extend into the
MSHCP Conservation Area.
ix. Weed abatement and fuel modification activities are not permitted in the Conservation Area.

Dear Case Planner:
William E.Plummer
Bill Wilson Please be advised that the above-referenced project/property is located within
the service boundaries of Rancho California Water District (Rancho
officcrs Water/District). The subject project/property fronts an existing 12-inch diameter
Robert S.Grantham water pipeline(1305 Pressure Zone)within DLR Drive. Please refer to the enclosed
General Manager exhibit map.
Kathleen M.Naylor
Chief Financial Officer Water service to the subject project/property does not exist. Additions or
KeiliE.Garcia modifications to water service arrangements are subject to the Rules and
District Secretary Regulations (governing) Water System Facilities and Service, as well as the
James B.Gilpin completion of financial arrangements between Rancho Water and the property
Best Best&Krieger LIP
General Counsel owner.
Water service to individual lots will require the extension of water facilities within
dedicated public and/or private right-of-ways. Individual water meters will be
required for each lot and/or project unit, including separate water
services/meters for domestic service,fire service,and landscape irrigation service,
as applicable. Beginning in 2018, newly constructed multi-unit residential
structures are required to measure the quantity of water supplied to each
individual residential dwelling unit.
Where private on-site water facilities (for water service, fire service, irrigation, or
other purpose) will cross or will be shared amongst multiple lots/project units
(only by special variance of the Rules and Regulations), and/or where such
'common' facilities will be owned and maintained by a Property Owners'
Association, Rancho Water requires execution and recordation of a Reciprocal
Easement and Maintenance Agreement or equivalent document of covenants,
codes, and restrictions.

Water availability is contingent upon the property owner(s) signing an Agency Agreement that
assigns water management rights, if any, to Rancho Water. In addition, water availability is
subject to water supply shortage contingency measures in effect (pursuant to Rancho Water's
Water Shortage Contingency Plan or other applicable ordinances and policy), and/or the
adoption of a required Water Supply Assessment for the development, as determined by the
Lead Agency.
There is no recycled water currently available within the limits established by Resolution 2007-
10-5. Should recycled water become available in the future, the project/property may be
required to retrofit its facilities to make use of this availability in accordance with Resolution
2007-10-5. Recycled water service, therefore, would be available upon construction of any
required on-site and/or off-site recycled water facilities and the completion of financial
arrangements between Rancho Water and the property owner. Requirements for the use of
recycled water are available from Rancho Water.
As soon as feasible, and prior to the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
documents, the project proponent should contact Rancho Water for a determination of existing
water system capability, based upon project-specific demands and/or fire flow requirements, as
well as a determination of proposed water facilities configuration. If new facilities are required
for service, fire protection, or other purposes, the project proponent should contact Rancho
Water for an assessment of project-specific fees and requirements.
Sewer service to the subject project/property, if available, would be provided by Eastern
Municipal Water District. If no sewer service is currently available to the subject project/property,
all proposed waste discharge systems must comply with the State Water Resources Control
Board, health department, and/or other requirements as they relate to the protection of
groundwater quality, pursuant to Rancho Water's Groundwater Protection Policy.
If you should have any questions or need additional information, please contact an Engineering
Technician at the District office at (951) 296-6900.

In accordance with your request, we performed a review of the above submitted response to
our peer review comments dated January 18, 2023. Based on this review, the above
referenced geotechnical report and response are considered satisfactory from a geotechnical
perspective. However, we recommend that Geocon be required to review the presumed
Geopier and geogrid reinforcement system and confirm compliance with their findings and
recommendations. In addition, the above response should be considered as an addendum to
the project geotechnical report for design and construction purposes. Alternatively, Geocon
should incorporate revised calculations/recommendations included in their response into an
updated report along with their review of the Geopier and geogrid reinforcement system.
Please note that our above opinion/peer review is to help the City in their review process and
the consultant remains solely responsible for their findings and recommendations.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to City and please do not hesitate to call us if
you have any question.
