Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. DESCRIPTION The water park will operate approximately four months of the calendar year, seven days a week, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The park will also be open a couple of weekends before Memorial Day and after Labor Day, dependiO{! on the weather. The water park will retain a full time staff of 15 employees and 300 seasonal employees, and will concentrate on recruiting mainly younger employees that live in the area. Access to the site will be from Ynez Road, towards the eastern property line. The park will propose three lanes on site accessing to the park including a bus lane. The park will accommodate .433 vehicles with an additional nine handicapped parking spaces, which is in compliance with the City's parking standards. The water park will charge a nominal parking fee upon entering the site. Parking attendants will be located onsite to accept payment and direct park attendees entering and leaving the site at all times. It is anticipated that that average daily attendance will be 2,000 people. Based on previous water park experience, the applicant estimates that 50% of the attendance (approximately 185 vehicles) will arrive at the park between the hours G:IPlanningl2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Water Park CUPlPlanninglPC Staff Report.doc 2 of 9:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Eighty-five percent of the daily attendance (approximately 130 cars) will arrive before 3:30 p.m. The remaining 15% (approximately 55 vehicles) will arrive between 3:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. According to the Traffic Analysis, mostly all trips generated by the operation of the water park will not be during peak hours, which are betw~en 11 :30 a.m. and 1 :30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. ANALYSIS Development Plan Site Desian The site is zoned Service Commercial and "Sports and Recreational Facilities" are permitted with a Conditional Use Permit. The development of the proposed water park is consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, and Design Guidelines. All buildings, mechanical enclosures, and rides meet the 50 foot maximum height requirement and main building setbacks. The front yard building setback (facing Ynez Road) will vary from 27 feet to more than 80 feet. The water park ride portion of the site will be enclosed by a seven foot tall perimeter wall with portions being tubular steel. The wall will include setback variations in addition to variation in materials. The north and east sides (facing Ynez Road) will include black tubular steel material and a slump block wall with river rock veneer pilasters. The south side of the properly (facing Gold's Gym) will be enclosed strictly by a slump block wall, while the west side of the properly (facing 1-15) will be enclosed by a tubular steel fence. In addition to the tubular steel fence, the project will propose a 15-foot high keystone retaining wall with plantablecells along the 1-15 freeway. Plantings will also be planted at the base of the retaining wall to further soften the wall elevation. The project proposes two slide rides (Drop Slides and Boomerango/Superbowl), Matt Racer, Wave Pool, Lazy River, Water Spray Park, Tots Play Area, and a smaller slide ride (Rainfortress). There are two areas (one towards the east side and the other towards the west) designated as future ride attractions that will be developed at a later date. All rides will be conditioned to not exceed the maximum building height of 50 feet. In association to the water and rides, the site will provide food service buildings and vending carts along with shade structures, picnic areas, lockers, changing rooms, and two separate areas for restrooms. Access/Parkina. Ingress/egress to the site will be from Ynez Road. Ingress will consist of three separate onsite lanes, in addition to a bus lane. Egress will be provided by a separate driveway location to the north of the entry point, and consist of a right tum lane onto Ynez Road. The Department of Public Works and Fire Department have reviewed the project and have determined that there is adequate onsite circulation for vehicles and emergency access. Parking attendants will greet the vehicles entering the site, accept the parking fee, and direct the vehicles to the appropriate parking locations. G:IPlanningl2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Water ParK CUPlPlanninglPC Staff Report.doc 3 Parking is based on the City's Dev.elopment Code requirements for a commercial recreation pool of one space per 1,000 square feet of park area plus one space per 300 square feet of related administration building area. This would equate to 393 required parking spaces. The project proposes 433 parking spaces. Parking is located towards the north property line, adjacent to the neighboring parking lot. Landscaoinc. The project meets the 20% minimum landscape requirement for proposed development in the Service Commercial Zone. Landscaping is used for aesthetic purposes by providing specimen trees at the main entries such as Crape Myrtles, Purple-leaf Plums, and Southern Live Oaks. Pedestrian crossings are enhanced by using raised planters, specimen trees, and enhanced interlocking pavers. Landscaping is also used to help screen the project. Berming is used at a minimum of three feet along Ynez Road to screen the entry drive to the park, in addition to the 20 foot wide landscape setback that is also proposed along Ynez Road. Trees such as California Sycamore, Lemon Bottlebrush, Afghan Pine, Yew Pine, and Silver Dollar Gum are planted along the perimeter of the project in addition to shrubs and vines that are proposed to be planted adjacent to and on all walVfences. Architecture The water park is a unique facility targeted for amusement and entertainment. The project proposes a light hearted "Ranch/Western" architectural theme and is consistent with City-Wide Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines state that "main entries accessible to the public should be pronounced and easily recognizable." The water park proposes a 43 foot tall steel frame shade structure with open web steel trusses to enhance the main entry to the park. Associated buildings (such as the administrative offices, party barn, etc.) consist of vertical wood and "hardie-plank" siding. Details such as a clock element, porch overhangs, decorative vents, and variation of window placement and size create architectural interest. The Design Guidelines state "variation in roof form is encouraged to create interest, and lessen the mass of the building." The water park achieves this goal by creating various roof heights and pitches. Dormers are also added to create additional interest. The various roofs are constructed of standing seam metal, corrugated galvanized sheet metal, and asphalt shingle roofing. Some portions of the buildings (including roofs) and the'slides will be painted in colors of red, yellow, blue, and green to generate excitement and energy. Conditional Use Permit According to Section 17.10.020 of the Development Code, Commercial Recreational Uses are permitted in the Service Commercial Zone with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Staff has reviewed the application and determined that the findings for approval can be made. The proposed water park is consistent with the surrounding uses and structures and will not adversely impact the existing buildings and uses because recreational uses already exist in the area. Immediately adjacent to the southern property line is Gold's Gym, a recreational workout facility open to the public. Less than one mile north of the project site is the Harveston Sports park, a public recreational facility which includes soccer fields and baseball fields. Approximately four miles east of the project site is the Harveston Community Park, a recreational lake with associated trails for City residents. In addition, the water park will only G:\Planningl2006IPA06-o213 Temecula Water Park CUPlPlanningIPC Staff Reportdoc 4 be open approximately four months of the calendar year, which will greatly reduce the impact to businesses immediately adjacent to the project. The use is also adequate in size and shape to accommodate the facility. The project proposes a 13,000 square foot water park on 15 acres and is considered a relatively small project compared to existing water parks in California. The water park will meet all Development Code regulations in regards to floor area ratio, lot coverage, setbacks, height regulations, and parking regulations. Over 30% of the site will be landscaped, which exceeds the required 20%. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Staff has reviewed the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and based on an Initial Study, determined the project will not have a significant impact on the environment if mitigation measures are incorporated into the project. Traffic A Traffic Study was conducted by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., dated September 2006. Under existing conditions, all intersections evaluated in the Traffic Study are functioning at LOS D or better during existing peak hour conditions except for the following intersections: Winchester Road at 1-15 NB Ramp (weekday evening peak hour), Winchester Road at Ynez Road (weekday evening at peak hour), Winchester Road at Promenade Mall East (weekday evening peak hour), Winchester Road at Margarita Road (weekday evening peak hour). With the addition of the project to the existing conditions, all intersections would continue to operate at LOS D or better except for those listed above that were already operating below acceptable levels per the City standards. The intersection of Ynez Road and County Center Drive warrants signalization under current conditions and is scheduled for signalization in the near future. City staff has directed that an annual ambient growth rate of 2% per year, be applied to existing (2006) peak hour traffic volumes. Assuming the project is constructed and operational in 2007, all intersections would function at LOS D or better during peak hours with the exception of the intersections forecasted to operate at an unacceptable LOS without the project, and will continue to do so with the addition of project traffic. The project will contribute to intersections already operating at a deficient LOS, but will not cause any intersection to worsen to an unacceptable LOS, or to fall to a lower LOS. The over-capacity conditions along Winchester Road will be improved with the completion of the French Valley Parkway Interchange, which will result in a new interchange with the 1-15 Freeway one mile to the north. The construction of the French Valley Parkway Interchange project will result in substantial improvement of peak hour intersection traffic along Winchester to an acceptable LOS. The Winchester northbound ramp intersection and the WinchesterlYnez. intersection will continue to operate at a LOS "P during the evening peak hour; the total average daily vehicle delay will be reduced by as much as 30-90 seconds per vehicle. With the French Valley Parkway Interchange in place, some traffic that currently uses the Winchester Road interchange will shift to the north, providing some relief. Likewise, it is expected that the portion of the Temecula Water Park traffic that was forecasted to approach the site from the north will also shift from the Winchester Interchange to the French Valley Parkway Interchange, which would further reduce any project contribution to congestion on Winchester Road. . G:lPlanningI2OO6\PA06-Q213 Temecula Waler Part< CUPlPlannlnglPC Staff Report.doc 5 The proposed project developed as a water park generates average weekday entering vehicles of 630 over the course of the day, for a total of 1,260 trips. Average Saturday entering vehicles is 802 vehicles, for a total daily trip generation of 1,604 trips. The project site is currently zoned Service Commercial. The Service Commercial designation would allow many different types of development, including office and retail uses. Assuming the Target Floor Area Ration of .30, the 15.4 acre site could be developed with up to 201,247 square feet of commercial or office uses. An office use would bring 2,216 daily weekday trips/83 weekend trips and a department store could bring in 11,274 daily weekday trips/1 ,008 weekend trips per day. The proposed water park use would generate less traffic each day during the peak hours (additionally, the water park does not open until 10:00 a.m.) than most other uses, since any other type of development would typically be open 5 to 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. The proposed water park is anticipated to generate significantly less traffic on an annual basis than any other allowed use. Over the long-term, the proposed project will contribute to LOS F traffic flows at the locations identified above, even after above mentioned improvements are implemented. However, this project will not significantly worsen the traffic flow after implementation of mitigation. In addition, the project is required to pay a fair share contribution to circulation system components that are impacted by cumulative traffic growth in the Temecula region through the payment of mitigation fees. Based on the identified project specific and cumulative impacts of the proposed project, staff concludes that potential project specific and cumulative effects of the project are effectively mitigated to a less than significant impact level based on the mitigation measures identified below, including payment of fair share fees for circulation system impacts that result from cumulative traffic growth. With implementation of the above condition of approval, the project's specific and cumulative circulation system impacts will be offset or mitigated to a less than significant level of impact. Recommended Mitigation Measures: 1. An Irrevocable Offer of Dedication shall be approved and recorded for the future French Valley Interchange right-of-way along the westerly property boundary. 2. Improve Ynez Road along property frontage to include installation of sidewalk, signing and striping, utilities (including but not limited to water and sewer), and a 14-foot wide raised landscaped median. 3. The signal at the intersection of Ynez Road and County Center Drive shall be modified to accommodate full movement. 4. Provide dedicated right turn lane on Ynez Road onto the project's main entry 10-feet wide by 150 feet long with a 120 feet transition. 5. A construction area Traffic Control Plan shall be designed by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer and reviewed by the Director of the Department of Public Works for any street closure and detour or other disruption to traffic circulation as required by the Department of Public Works. 6. The Developer shall pay to the City the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee as required by, and in accordance with, Chapter 15.06 of the Temecula Municipal Code and all Resolutions implementing Chapter 15.06. G:\Planningl2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Wale! Pari< CUPlPlanninglPC Staff Reportdoc 6 7. The Developer shall pay to the City the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program as required by, and in accordance with, Chapter 15.08 of the Temecula Municipal Code and all Resolutions implementing Chapter 15.08. Noise Based on a Noise Study that was prepared, the project will generate a maximum noise level of 65.8 dBA at the property lines with mitigation measures, which is less than the maximum threshold limit of 70 dBA specified in the General Plan Noise Element. Recommended Mitigation Measures: 1. Applicant shall establish a noise complaint response program and shall respond to any noise complaints received for this project by measuring the noise levels at the affected receptor site. 2. Applicant will require that all construction equipment be operated with mandated noise control equipment (mufflers or silencers). Air Qualitv Based in the Air Quality report prepared for the project, the project will not exceed the thresholds of the South Coast Air Basin with the following mitigations: Recommended Mitigation Measures: 1. During construction of the proposed improvements, construction equipment will be properly maintained at an offsite location and includes proper tuning and timing of engines. Equipment maintenance records and equipment design specification data sheets shall be kept onsite during construction. 2. During construction of the proposed improvements, all contractors will be advised not to idle construction equipment on site for more than ten minutes. 3. Prior to construction of the proposed improvements, the project proponent will provide a Dust Control Plan that will describe the application of standard best management practices to control dust during construction. Based on the above mitigation measures, staff recommends the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and attached Mitigation Monitoring Program. CONCLUSIONlRECOMMENDATION Staff has determined that this project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and Design guidelines and recommends approval based on the following findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. G:\Planningl2006\PA06-0213 Temecula Water Pari< CUPlPlanninglPC Staff Report.doc 7 FINDINGS Development Plan (Code Section 17.05.01O.F) 1. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances of the City. The proposed water park is permitted in the Service Commercial Zone based on the standards contained in the City's Development Code, which includes approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the proposed water park. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes; 2. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The overall design of the water park, including the site, buildings, parking, circulation, and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health and safety of those living and working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, Building Code, and Fire Prevention Codes to ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. Conditional Use Permit (Code Section 17.04.010.E) 1. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. The proposed water park is permitted in the Service Commercial Zone based on the standards contained in the City's Development Code, which includes approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the proposed water park. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes. 2. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, or structures. The proposed water park is consistent with the surrounding uses and structures and will not adversely impact the existing buildings and uses because recreational uses already exist in the area. Immediately adjacent to the southern property line is Gold's Gym, a recreational workout facility open to the public. Less than one mile north of the project site is the Harveston Sports Park, a public recreational facility which includes soccer fields and baseball fields. Approximately four miles east of the project site is the G:IPlanning\2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Water Pari< CUPlPlanninglPC Staff Report.doc 8 Harveston Community Park, a recreational lake with associated trails for City residents. In addition, the water park will only be open approximately four months of the calendar year, which will greatly reduce the impact to businesses immediately adjacent to the project. With existing recreational uses already existing in the area and the short term operation season, the water park will not adversely affect adjacent uses or structures. 3. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and required by Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood. The project proposes a 13,000 square foot water park on 15 acres and is considered a relatively smaller project compared to existing water parks in California. The water park will meet all Development Code regulations in regards to floor area ratio, lot coverage, setbacks; height regulations, and parking regulations. Over 30% of the site will be landscaped, which exceeds the required 20%. 4. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the Development Code, Universal Building Code (UBC), and Fire Prevention Code for compliance with all applicable requirements. Staff has found the proposed water park is not detrimental to the heath, safety, or general welfare of the community. In addition, Fire Prevention has reviewed the circulation and drive aisle widths and has determined that the site will be able to be adequately served by the Fire Department in an emergency situation.

Findinos. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application hereby makes the following findings as required by Sections 17.05.010.F and 17.04.010.E of the Development Code. Development Plan (Code Section 17.05.010.F) A. . The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances of the City; G:\Planning\2006\PA08-0213 Temecula Water Park CUPlPlanning\PC RESOLUTION #1.doc 1 The proposed Water Park is permitted in the Service Commercial zone based on the standards contained in the City's Development Code, which includes approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the proposed Water Park. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes. B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare; The overall design of the Water Park, including the site, buildings, parking, circulation, and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health and safety of those living and working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, ahs been found to be consistent with the City's general Plan, Development Code, Building Code, and Fire Prevention Codes to ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. Conditional Use Permit (Code Section 17.04.010.E) A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code; The proposed Water Park is permitted in the Service Commercial zone based on the standards contained in the City's Development Code, which includes approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the proposed Water Park. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes. B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, or structures; . The proposed 'Water Park is consistent with the surrounding uses and structures and will f!of adversely impact the existing buildings and uses because recreational uses already exist in the area. Immediately adjacent to the southern property line is Gold's Gym, a recreational workout facility open to the public. Less than one mile north of the project site is the Harveston Sports park, a public recreational facility which includes soccer fields and baseball fields. Approximately four miles east of the project site is the Harveston Community Park, a recreational lake with associated trails for City residents. In addition, the Water Park will only be open approximately four months of the calendar year, which will greatly reduce the impact to businesses immediately adjacent to the project. With existing recreational uses already existing in the area and the short term operafion season, the Water Park will not adversely affect adjacent uses or structures. C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, G:\PlanningI2006IPA06-0213 Temecula Water Part< CUPIPlanninglPC RESOLUTION #1.doc 2 landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and ,required by Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood; The project proposes a 13,000 square foot Water Park on 15 acres and is considered a relatively smaller project compared to existing Water Parks in California. The Water park will meet all Development Code regulations in regards to floor area ratio, lot coverage, setbacks, height regulations, and parking regulations. Over 30% of the site will be landscaped, which exceeds the required 20%. D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community; The project has been reviewed for compliance with the Development Code, Universal Building Code (UBC), and Fire Prevention Code for compliance with all applicable requirements. Staff has found the proposed Water Park is not detrimental to the heath, safety, or general weffare of the community. In addition, Fire Prevention has reviewed the circulation and drive aisle widths and has determined that the site will be able to be adequately seNed by the Fire Department in an emergency situation. Section 8. Environmental Comoliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, it has been determined that, with this mitigation, this project as proposed will not have a significant impact upon the environment. As a result, a Negative Declaration with a Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared. Section 9. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA06-0213, including the Initial Study with a Mitigation Monitoring Program, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: d. Issues and SUDoortina InfOrmation Sources Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildinos within a state scenic hiohwav? Substantially degrade the existing visual character or oualitv of the site and its surroundinos? Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Potentially Significam lnu>acl Potentially Slgnificanl Unless ;MitigatiOn' lncol'DOf8ted .. Less Than Significant lmoacr Nolmoacl .; . I a. b. I c. . . Comments: 1.a. No Impact: The proposed project is on vacant land. No scenic vistas have been identified per the City's General Plan or will be adversely impacted from developing the proposed project. No impacts are expected. 1.b. No Impact: No major rock outcroppings or historic buildings exist on the project site. The project site is not located on a scenic highway. No impacts are expected. 1.c. Less Than Significant Impact: The area surrounding the project consists of the Interstate 15 freeway directly to the west, a church and an industrial building to the north, and industriaVoffice buildings to the east and south. The Harveston Specific Plan is located less than 1 mile north of the project site, however residents within that Specific Plan will have a low aesthetic impact from the proposed development since existing industrial and office buildings block the views. The water park will be partially visible to the traffic on the Interstate 15 northbound and southbound, specifically the rides located near the west side of the properly. The existing landscaping located adjacent to the freeway and a proposed garden wall with additional landscaping will aid.in screening the project. Employees and visitors driving to the industrial buildings located adjacent to the site will be affected the most and the water park will substantially change the existing character of the surrounding area. This project, however, will not degrade the existing character of the area. The City's Development Code and Design Guidelines establish design and landscaping standards which will ensure that the project site is developed in a manner consistent with the City's standards. The project site will have landscaped screening and decorative walls around the entire perimeter of the site to help screen the project from the surrounding area. Based on fulfilling these design standards, project aesthetic impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. . 1.d. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project site is currently vacant with no sources of light or glare. The proposed project will' introduce new generators of light and glare. However, the surrounding uses will typically not be open for business in the evening. In addition this project will be constructed in accordance with zoning development standards including maximum height, landscape buffers, and the Mount Palomar Lighting Ordinance. The City of Temecula requires all new development to comply with the Riverside County Mount Palomar Ordinance 655. Ordinance 655 requires lighting to be shielded, directed down to avoid glare onto adjacent properties and emit low levels of glare into the sky. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the project. G:\Plannlngl2OO6IPA08-0213 Temecuia Water Part< CUPlPianningUnitial Environmental Study.doc 3 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: b. Issues and SUoDortii1alnfoim-atioriSoui'ceS Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of. Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the Calffornia Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?

Less Than Significant Impact: According to Figure 5.2-1 labeled "Agricultural Resources" in. the Agricultural Resources, Section OS-30 of the General Plan, the project is in an area of farmland of local importance. However, the 15 acre site is surrounded by industrial development and there are no other immediate properties in the vicinity of the project which have been allocated for farmland use. . The subject site is not currently being used for agricultural purposes, and the City's General Plan Land Use Element has designated the site for Service Commercial uses. Therefore, there will be less than significant impacts as a result from the project. . 2.b-c. No Impact The site is not under a Williamson Act contract nor is it zoned for agricultural uses. This property is not considered prime or unique farmland of statewide or local importance as identified by the State Department of Conservation and the City of Temecula General Plan. In addition, the project will not involve changes in the existing environment, which would result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. No impact is anticipated from this proposed project. G:\Planningl2006IPA06-0213 Temecula Water Part< CUPlPlanning~nitial Environmental Sludy.doc 4 I a. I d. Ie. 3. AIR QUALITY.

No Impact: An Air Quality Impact Analysis Report was prepared by Michael Brandman Associates dated August 21, 2006. The proposed project will not conflict or obstruct the implementation of the Air Quality Management Plan for the South Coast Air Basin. Furthermore, the project will comply with the provisions of the Plan and the City's General Plan Air Quality Element policies and goals. As a result, no adverse impacts are forecast and no mitigation is required. 3.b-c. Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated: Some short term construction-related air quality impacts are expected to occur as a result of this project. These short term impacts are eXpected to occur from onsite grading activities and from the actual construction of the project. The potential air quality impacts of this project were assessed using the Air Quality Management District's URBEMIS 2002 model. Short-term emissions were evaluated with the URBEMIS 2002 for Windows computer program. The URBEMIS 2002 model sets default values for worker trips and the use of asphalt. Model inputs include the projected type of land use, the year in which construction is to begin, and the length of the construction period. For the purpose of this analysis as a worst-case scenario, it is assumed that painting and asphalt paving would occur simultaneous with building activities. Construction is slated to begin in 2006 and the construction period is anticipated to require approximately one year to complete. Tables 3 through 5 summarize the results of these evaluations.

The primary source of NOx is heavy equipment. In an effort to reduce estimated NOx emissions related to construction activities, a range of mitigation measures were considered. Effective NOx emission reduction measures include the use of construction equipment with lean NOx oxidation catalyst and/or reduction in equipment horsepower hours per day, providing temporary traffic control (e.g., flag person) during transport activities, properly maintaining construction equipment, prohibit truck and equipment idling in excess of five minutes, provide on-site meals during lunch to construction workers by arranging to have a lunch wagon visit the site during work breaks, and use temporary electric power for electric power tools.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a localized problem requiring additional analysis beyond total project emissions quantification. Projects with sensitive receptors or projects that could negatively impact levels of service (LOS) of existing roads need to use the "California Department of Transportation Carbon Monoxide Protocol" (hereafter referred to as the CO protocol) to determine the potential to create a CO hot spot. A CO hot spot is a localized concentration of CO that is above the State or Federal one-hour or eight-hour ambient air standards. Localized high levels of CO are associated with traffic congestion and idling or slow-moving vehicles. The CO protocol recommends using CALlNE4, the fourth generation California Line Source Roadway Dispersion Model developed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to estimate one-hour CO concentrations from roadway traffic. Input data for this model includes meteorology, street network geometrics, traffic information, and emissions generation rates. Meteorological data required includes average temperatures, wind direction, sigma theta (standard deviation of wind direction), and wind speed. Street network geometrics require the use of an x, y coordinate system onto which the modeled roadways can be overlain in order to identify the relative. G:\PlanningI2OO6IPA06-0213 Temecula Walel Park CUPlPlanningllnitial Environmental Study.doc 8 Required traffic information was taken from the project specific traffic study and includes peak hour traffic volumes arid levels of service. Emission factors were calculated in grams/mile/vehicle using the EMFAC2002 computer model. According to the CO protocol, the CALlNE4 model should simulate intersections by using a reduced speed to represent intersection speeds and waits. Therefore, the slowing speed approaching an intersection was calculated at an average speed of five miles per hour (mph) within 249 feet. This value was derived by calculating the time it would take for a vehicle to slow from 28 mph at a rate of 4.6 mph/second and doubling this distance to account for any vehicles which have already stopped at the intersection. Vehicles outside of the 249-foot intersection approaches were assumed to be at a cruise speed of 28 mph as directed by the CO protocol for suburban traffic. The peak hour traffic volumes, when the worst-case LOS value occurred at each intersection, were used in this analysis because they represent the highest traffic volumes for both the project area and the proposed project. Typically, the LOS at an intersection producing a hot spot is at D or worse during the peak hour. Five intersections meet this criterion including: . Winchester Road at Jefferson Avenue . Winchester Road at 1-15 NB Ramps Winchester Road at Ynez Road Winchester Road at Promenade Mall East Driveway Winchester Road at Margarita . . . The model procedure that was followed combined the results of the traffic analysis assuming very restrictive dispersion conditions in order to generate a worst-case impact assessment. Output from the CALlNE4 model is in one-hour CO concentrations in ppm at the selected receptor locations. The predicted one-hour CO concentrations were determined by adding the ambient background one-hour CO concentrations to the model projected one-hour CO concentration. The eight-hour CO concentration was estimated by multiplying the one- hour model estimate by the persistence factor for the project area (0.6) and adding the ambient background eight-hour CO concentration. Assuming worst-case conditions, the estimated one-hour and eight-hour average CO concentrations in combination with background concentrations are below the State and Federal ambient air quality standards. No CO hot spots are anticipated as a result of traffic generated emissions by the proposed project in combination with other anticipated development in the area. The AQMP contains performance standards and emissions reduction targets necessary to attain the state and federal AAQS. According to CARB's transportation performance standards, the rate of growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and trips should be held to the rate of population growth. Compliance with this performance standard for residential projects is one way suggested in the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook of showing compliance with the AQMP and is assessed by determining the population, vehicle trips generated (VT) and VMT for the project at build-out year and comparing that to the disaggregated population, VT and VMT for the project area assumed in the AQMP. If the total VMT generated by the proposed project at project build-out year is at or below the disaggregated total VMT for the project site assumed in the AQMP, then the proposed project is consistent with the AQMP. The URBEMIS 2002 model assigns trip generation and miles traveled for particular land uses. The SCA6population projections for year 2010 used in the AQMP for the City of Temecula assumes land use designations in the General Plan and includes build-out of the site. The project site under the current General Plan land use designation (Service Commercial) would accommodate up to a total of 339,420 square feet of commercial floor space. Table 9 compares the proposed project with the assumptions in the AQMP. G:\planningI2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Water Park CUP\Planning\ln~ial Environmental Sludy.doc 9 Table 9: AQMP Population, VT, and VMT Comparison With Proposed Project I Variables AQMP Assumptions for Site Proposed Project at Build Out I Land Use Designation Service Commercial Water Park Density 350,000 sq.ft. of floor space 15 acres of water park ITE Trip Generation Rate 10.07 ADTs per TSF See Traffic Study Average Daily Trips (ADTs) 3,525 802 VMT 20,191 I 4,595 Sources: SCAQMD CEQA Handbook (1993), ITE Trip Generation /' Edition The proposed project is below the number of VMT assumed in the AQMP based on the Service Commercial zoning. For this reason, it is appropriate to conclude that the proposed project is in compliance with the AQMP and there will be less than significant impacts with the following mitigation measures proposed: Prior to construction of the proposed improvements, the project proponent will provide a traffic control plan thatwill describe safe detours around the project construction site and provide temporary traffic control (i.e., flag person) during construction related truck hauling activities. During construction of the proposed improvements, construction equipment will be properly maintained at an offsite location and includes proper tuning and timing of engines. Equipment maintenance records and equipment design specification data sheets shall be kept onsite during construction. During construction of the proposed improvements, all contractors will be advised not to idle construction equipment on site for more than 10 minutes. During construction of the proposed improvements, the project applicant will provide on-site meals to construction workers by arranging a lunch wagon to visit the construction site during work breaks including the lunch break. Prior to construction of the proposed improvements, the project proponent will provide a Dust Control Plan that will describe the application of standard best management practices to control dust during construction. Best management practices will Include: . Application of water on disturbed soils and unpaved roadways a minimum of three times per day . Usingtrack-out prevention devices at construction site access points . Stabilizing construction area exit points . Covering haul vehicles . Restricting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour (mph) . Replanting disturbed areas as soon as practical and other measures, as deemed appropriate to the site, to control fugitive dust 3.d. No Impact: Sensitive receptors include the very young, elderly, and persons suffering from illness and are normally associated with locations such as schools, daycare facilities, convalescent care facilities, medical facilities, and residential areas. The closest potentially sensitive receptor is a church. Diesel emissions during the short-term construction activities are too low to pose an acute significant toxic air contaminant health hazard and they will not occur over the long-term. As a result, no significant impacts are expected with this project. G:\Planningl2006IPA06-Q213 Temecula Wale, Park CUPlPlanningllnitial Environmental Study.doc 10 With no significant potential exposure to toxic substances or to CO "Hotspots", the proposed project is not forecast to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations that would be considered significant and adverse or exceed air quality significance thresholds with the inclusion of the identified mitigation measures. 3.e. No Impact: During construction the proposed project will contain operations that will produce odors associated with equipment and materials. The site is located within the vicinity of sensitive receptors, a church; however, the odors associated with this type project are normally not considered so offensive as to cause sensitive receptors to complain. Diesel fuel combustion odors from construction equipment, operation equipment, and new asphalt paving fall into this category. Both based on the short-term of the emissions and the characteristics of these emissions, no significant odor impacts will result from implementing the proposed project.

'" e. '" f. Background: Riverside County adopted the Western Riverside County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) on June 17, 2003. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Biological Opinion in favor Qf adopting the MSHCP was released on June 22,2004. The City of Temecula is a signatory to the MSHCP, and therefore, the project is required to comply with the MSHCP. Section 6.0 of the MSHCP identifies the local implementation measures.. Section 6.1.6 details the County and Cities Obligations and corresponds with Section 13.2 of the Biological Opinion issued by the USFWS. The program requires the City to undertake the following steps to insure compliance with the requirements of the MSHCP. . Payment of local development mitigation fees and other relevant fees (Section 8.5) · Comply with the Habitat Assessment program (HANS) processor equivalent process to satisfy local acquisition obligation . Comply with the survey requirements (Section 6.3.2) . Comply with the policies of the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools (Section 6.1.2) . Comply with the policies of the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species (Section 6.1.3) . Comply with the policies of the UrbanlWildlands Interface (Section 6.1.4) . Comply with the Best Management Practices (Section 7.0; Appendix C) G:\PlanningI2006\PA06-Q213 Temecula Water Park CUPlP1anning~nitial Environmental Sludy.doc 12 The project site is in the Southwest Area Plan of the MSHCP. The project site is not within a Criteria Cell of the MSHCP and no HANS review is required. The closest Criteria Cell (6783) of the MSHCP is approximately .3 mile to the south and will not be affected by project activities. The MSHCP does not have any habitat assessment requirements for the project sit!!. so no additional wildlife or plant surveys are necessary. A review of the property and its relation to the conservation goals of the MSHCP concluded that no portions of the property fall within any land that is required for long-term conservation within the area. Comments: . 4.a. Less Than Significant Impact: Proposed development within Criteria Cells and Cell Groups is subject to review under the HANS process. Project applicants whose site falls within Criteria Areas are required to file a HANS application, which includes a habitat assessment of their project site to determine if all or part of the property is necessary for inclusion in any MSHCP conservation areas. If it is determined by the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA), the County, Cities, or various State and Federal Agencies that all or part of the property is needed for inclusion in the MSHCP Conservation Area, the property owner will enter in negotiations with such agencies to determine the extent of development allowed within the project area that will not significantly impact the function of the conservation areas in question. The project site does not occur within a Criteria Cell of the MSHCP and no HANS review is required. The project site has been previously grubbed and disturbed for many years to comply with the City's weed abatement ordinance (Ord. 8.16). . There are some grasses on the project site; however they are not considered sensitive habitat, nor is the site part of a wildlife corridor. Less than significant impact is anticipated from the proposed project. 4.b. No Impact: Section 6.1.2 of the Western Riverside County MSHCP requires an assessment of the potentially significant effects of a project on covered species occupying riparian/riverine areas and vernal pools. The project biologist (Michael Brandman and Associates) conducted a riparian/riverine and vernal pool habitat assessment of the project site. There are no jurisdictional drainage features or riparian/riverine habitat occurs on the project site. No blue-line streams are mapped on the Temecula USGS topographic map. Therefore, there will be no significant impact. 4.c. No Impact: No depressions or areas where water would pool were observed on the site. No vernal pools occur on the project site. Further, there are no ponded areas or depression onsite that could support fairy shrimp habitat. No. impact is expected. 4.d. No Impact: The development of the site will not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or species or within the wildlife corridors because this project has not been identified as a linkage, block, or core in the MSHCP. No significant impacts are proposed for this site. 4.e. Less Than Significant Impact: There are ornamental trees in the western edge of the property, which is partially developed as an overflow parking lot from the adjacent lot. Species include: Eucalyptus species, pine species, and the Peruvian pepper tree. These trees are not identified either by the MSHCP or the City as species that need to be preserved; therefore less than significant impact is proposed. 4.f. No Impact: The burrowing owl is a California state species of concern. Due to lack of adequate information for known recorded surveys for the Burrowing Owl, the MSHCP has assigned specific conservation objectives, including a required habitat assessment for this species. This project is not within a Criteria Cell of the MSHCP and no HANS Review is required. The MSHCP does not have any habitat assessment requirements for the project site, so no additional wildlife or plants surveys are necessary. No significant impacts are expected.

I d. " Comments: 5.a-d. Less Than Significant Impact: The City of Temecula General Plan identifies the project site as a potential for sensitive archaeological resource area and area of high paleontological sensitivity (Figure 5-6 and 5-7, respectively). The San Diego Natural History Museum indicated in a letter dated August 2, 2006 that the existing site conditions make paleontological mitigation unnecessary. The majority of the site is underlain by unfossiliferous, undocumented fill materials. The project site consists of land that has been previously disturbed as a result of previous maintenance activities, and other human-related disturbances. Cultural resources of either prehistoric or historical origin were not observed within the site boundaries. Due to the potential for such resources to occur on the property, the following conditions will be implemented: If any cultural resources are exposed during initial grading and ground disturbance activities the City will be contacted, and a qualified archaeologist will evaluate the resources. If discovered resources merit long-term consideration, adequate funding will be provided to collect, curate and report these resources in accordance with standard archaeological management requirements. The Pechanga Band of Luisei'io Indians shall be contacted to develop a management plan for any resources that may be unearthed, to afford the Band an opportunity to monitor ground-disturbing activities and to participate in the decisions regarding collection and curation of any such resources. If any human remains are encountered during initial grading activities, all ground disturbing activities In the vicinity of the discovery will be terminated immediately and the County Coroner's office will be contacted to manage such remains. 6.

'" '" '" '" '" Comments: 6.a.i. Less Than Significantlmpact: According to the City's General Plan EIR, the site is not located within an Earthquake Fault Hazard Zone. Additionally, the site is not located within the Riverside County Earthquake Fault Zone. The site could, however, be subjected to significant shaking in the event of a major earthquake on the San Jacinto fault or other nearby regional faults: As a standard condition of approval, the applicant is required to build the structures in accordance with the current UBC seismic codes and local ordinances. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. 6a.ii-iii. Less Than Significant Impact: The principal seismic considerations for most structures in southern California are surface rupturing of fault traces and damage caused by ground shaking or seismically induced ground settlement. The possibility of damage due to ground rupture is considered low since active faults are not known to cross the site. Lurching due to ground shaking from distant seismic events in not considered a significant hazard. The project will be required to comply with all building code requirements per the State Building Code to help mitigate the risk of damage during strong seismic ground shaking. Less then significant impacts are anticipated. Portions of the subsurface soils are potentially susceptible to liquefaction. Given the relative thickness of the potential liquefiable soils compared to the thickness of the overlying nonliquefiable soil, surface manifestations resulting from soil liquefaction are not likely. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. 6.a.iv. Less Than Significant Impact: There is a low potential for earthquake induced landslides or rockfalls on the project site because the site and its surroundings are essentially flat. As a result, no impacts will occur or mitigation is required for landslides or rock falls and there will be less than a significant impact. 6.b. Less Than Significant Impact: The development of the project site will expose it to potential erosion and downstream sedimentation. The General Plan requires mitigation for projects to control erosion. Further, the state-wide NPDES program requires every project with ground disturbance greater than five acres to implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) during project construction and operation. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are identified in the SWPPP to control erosion on a site and any sedimentation generated by disturbing the site for development with conformance to the NPDES program, less than significant impacts are expected. 6.c-d. Less Than Significant Impact: The project is not located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of this project, and potentially result in on or off-site grading landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. The applicant will be required to prepare soils reports prior to issuance of a grading permit. Less than significant impacts are expected. 6.e. No Impact: The project site will be served by a sewer collection system owned by Eastern Municipal Water District. No impact is expected.

Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project will use the existing Ynez Road as the ingress and egress point. The project does propose the use of chlorine and muratic acid and will store these liquids in above ground double contained containers on site. However, chemicals stored, used, and handled at facilities are required to ensure that proper types of fire and life safety protection systems and procedures are in place. The applicant has submitted a chemical classification packet to the City as required by the California Fire Code and California Building Code for compliance with these requirements. The Fire Department has found that the access storage and leak protection plan is acceptable. Therefore, there will be no significant hazard to the public or the environment from the routine transportation, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result from this project. 7.b. Less Than Significant Impact: It is not anticipated that the project would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. G:\Planningl2006IPAoa-Q213 Ternecula Water Park CUPlPlanningllnilial Environmental Sludy.doc 16 7.c. No Impact: No schools are located within one quarter mile of the site. The proposed construction on the property does not include any activities or uses that would pose a potential health hazard to the local population or the nearby school. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated. 7.d. No Impact: Review of available data (site appearance, USGS map, California Department of Toxic Substance Control's (DTSC) Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List (Cortese List), the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Information System (LUSTIS) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicates no past uses that may have involved hazardous materials. Based upon the available data and the historical land use, there is no evidence to support that hazardous wastes would be present on the site. No impacts are anticipated. 7.e-f. No Impact: The project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public or private airstrip according to Figure 5.9-4 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. No impact upon airport.uses will result from this proposal. 7.g. No Impact: The proposed project is not located in an area and is not a portion of an emergency response or evacuation plan and will be designed to allow for adequate emergency vehicle access to the site. Therefore, the project would not impair the implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. No impact is anticipated as a result of the proposed project. 7.h. No Impact: The proposed project is not located in or near a wildland area that would be subject to fire hazards.

This type of development typically generates domestic and/or municipal wastewater that does not require pretreatment or waste discharge requirements. No water quality standards are forecast to be violated by implementing the proposed project which will deliver its wastewater flows to the region!!l wastewater plant. Wastewater will be delivered to the regional treatment plant for treatment under waste discharge requirements established by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. During construction and occupancy, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented which will control storm water runoff pollution to a level of no significance, therefore less than significant impacts are anticipated.

Less Than Significant Impact Groundwater related problems are not expected to be encountered during site development. If shallow perched groundwater is encountered during construction, it can be managed with the use of sump pumps placed in the bottom of excavations which will be incorporated. the proposed project does not include any extraction of groundwater, so no adverse direct impact can result from implementing the proposed project. The GPEIR addresses water demand from development in the City of Temecula. The GPEIR concludes that cumulative water demand within the City can be met by the City's two purveyors without having a significant adverse impact on the environment, including depletion of the areas groundwater supplies. This is verified by the Rancho Califomia Water District's Urban Water Master Plan which defines the resources available to the District to meet future cumulative demand within its service area. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan designation for the property and thus, is considered consistent with the GPEIR. Therefore, the proposed project will not contribute to a significant cumulative, indirect adverse impact on the area groundwater aquifers. In addition, some water will be used for dust control during the grading process. The property owner has indicated that recycled water will be used for construction purposes if available. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. 8.c. Less Than SIgnificant Impact: Through the implementation of the project SWPPP, erosion and siltation issues are controlled toa less than significant impact level and this project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off-site. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. 8.d-f. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project would increase runoff as a result of increasing the impervious surface on the project site. The City imposes standard mitigation to detain surface runoff on the property to ensure that the maximum runoff volume from the site is not significantly increased. The project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements established by the State of California. However, the project is required to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) pursuant to the Municipal Separate Storm-Sewer permit (MS4 permit) issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. A preliminary plan has been submitted and the project will comply with RWQCB standards as designed. Based upon the information presented above, no significant adverse impact to either downstream flows or water quality is forecast to affect properties downstream of the site from developing the project as proposed. Less than significant impacts are proposed. ' 8.g-h. Less Than Significant Impact: No buildings or structures will be located within the 1 OO-year floodplain according to the City's General Plan as a result of implementing this project. No significant flood hazards are expected to occur from developing the project site as proposed. No significant flood hazards are expected to occur from developing the project site as proposed. Less that significant impacts are proposed. 8.i. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project would not 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. The subject property is not located within a dam inundation area per the City's General Plan. In addition, the City has implemented a multi-hazard functional plan pursuant to the California Emergency Services, Act. The proposed project does not contain critical or essential facilities. Less than significant impacts are proposed. 8.j. No .Impact: Due to the project area's distance from the ocean and elevation, there is no potential for a tsunami. The project area is not located near a large surface water body and there is no potential for inundation by seiche or mudflow. No impacts are anticipated.

Less Than Significant Impact The project site will not divide the physical arrangement of an established community. The project site is vacant and surrounded by existing service commercial, industrial, and office buildings. Just north of the property are a church and an industriaVoffice building. The Harveston Specific Plan is located further north of the site. This area of the Specific Plan is zoned Service Commercial and is vacant with no proposals currently submitted to the City. East of the project site, there are existing office and light industrial buildings located within the Industrial Park zoning designation. West of the property is the 1- 15 Freeway, and to the south of the property is an existing service commercial building. The proposed water park site is zoned Service Commercial (SC). The City of Temecula Development Code allows Sports and Recreational Facilities to be permitted in the SC zone with an approved Conditional Use Permit (Table 17.08.030). The project is consistent with the zoning standards of the City's General Plan and Development Code, the location of the project eliminate any possibility of physically dividing an established community. Impacts from all General Plan Land Use designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City comments on the scope of the analysis contained with the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR have been applied to this project where necessary. Furthermore, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are being given the opportunity to comment on the project, and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or policies. Less than significant impacts are anticipated from this project. 9.c. Less Than Significant Impact The project site is riot within a Criteria Cell of the Westem Riverside County MSHCP. The property does not fall within any MSHCP Consistency Habitat assessment area. No jurisClictional drainage features or riparian/riverine habitat occur inside the project site. No vemal pools or fairy shrimp habitat were observed on the project site. :rhe project site is also located within the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Plan for Stephen's kangaroo rat, and therefore, a mandatory per acreage development fee will be assessed for the project. Please refer to the Biological Section for a full discussion of this item and details of the mitigation measures required. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result from this project.

Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated: According to the Acoustical Analysis Report prepared by Michael Brandman Associates dated August 16, 2006, development of the project would require site preparation (i.e. land clearing, grading, excavation, and trenching) and construction of the buildings and infrastructure. These construction activities would generate noise that would be heard both on and off the project site. The proposed project is not forecast to generate severe noise levels over the long-term. The project will create some noise levels over that currently emanating from the vacant land. However, those G:\Planningl2006\PA08-0213 Temecula Water Part< CUP\Planning~nilial Environmental Study.doc 21 noises are not anticipated to create a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. Since this project does not involve any pile driving or other severe noise generating activities, this project is not forecast to generate severe noise levels that would impact the nearby church, businesses, or residential noise receptors. In general, the trucks and earth-moving sources are noisiest with equipment noise ranging up to about '90 dBA at 50 feet from the source. Noise emissions tend to be more associated with periodic events under full load rather than continuous noise exposure. Spherically radiating point sources of noise emissions are atmospherically attenuated by a factor of 6 dB per doubling, of distance, or about 20 dB in 500 feet of propagation. The loudest earth-moving noise sources will therefore sometimes be temporarily detectable above the local background beyond 1,000 feet from the noise source. An extensive noise impact envelope requires a clear line of sight from source to receiver. Any terrain, topography or structures between the source and receiver would limit line of sight. Construction noise impacts are therefore less than predicted under theoretical maximum input conditions. Construction noise sources are not strictly relatable to a noise standard because they occur only during selected times and the source strength varies sharply with time. The penalty associated with noise disturbance during quiet hours, and the nuisance factor accompanying such disturbance, usually leads to time limits on grading activity imposed as a condition on grading permits. The City of Temecula provides specific standards for preventing construction noise nuisance which will be incorporated as mitigation measures: The applicant shall establish a noise complaint response program and shall respond to any noise complaints received for this project by measuring noise levels at the affected receptor site. If the noise level exceeds an Ldn of 65 dBA exterior or an Ldn of 45 dBA Interior at the receptor, the applicant will implement adequate measures (which may include portable sound attenuation walls, use of quieter equipment, shift of construction schedule to avoid the presence of sensitive receptors, etc.) to reduce noise levels to the greatest extent feasible. The applicant will require that all construction equipment be operated with mandated noise control equipment (mufflers or silencers). Enforcement will be accomplished by random field inspections by applicant personnel during construction activities. Compliance with the above standard conditions measures will ensure that construction noise impacts are controlled to a less than significant level. These measures are set as conditions on the project grading permits. Compliance with these criteria will preclude creation of a significant temporary noise impact during construction. 11.b. Less Than Significant Impact: This project does not include any construction activities that would generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise. No potential exists for significant groundborne noise/vibration impacts associated with the proposed project. Less than significant impacts are expected from this project. 11.c. Less Than Significant Impact: In reviewing project impacts, future noise levels will be compared with the City standards for commercial uses since these are the land uses in the project area. Project related impacts are minimal (all less than 1.0 dBA) as shown in the right hand column of Table 3. All predicted noise levels are within the City's Noise Standards with the exception of Winchester Road between 1- 15 and Margarita Road. Noise levels along this roadway segment violate the City's Noise Standards for commercial 'and uses in the existing conditions and project generated impacts are extremely small (0.10 dBA) and is not considered a significant project impact. The greatest roadway noise impact generated by the project occurs on Ynez Road between County Center Drive and Winchester Road where the project increases the noise levels by 0.50 dBA with an estimated cumulative roadway noise level of 69.1 dBA CNEL. This section of roadway is bordered entirely by commercial land uses and is within the City's Noise Standard for commercial land uses. Predicted noise levels at noise sensitive land uses (residential) are all within the City's Noise Standards in the future with project condition and project impacts are extremely small (less than 0.01 dBA) in these locations. For these reasons, project generated roadway noise impacts are less than significant.

Onslte Noise Levels. In addition to roadway noise impacts, the analysis needs to address noise impacts to residential land used closest to the. site related to the onsite activities. The primary sources of noise onsite include vehicles in the parking lot, pumps and compressors associated with the pools and water rides, and periodic enouncements on the public address system. Some noise sources such as the public address system will be periodic, while others such as pumps and compressors will be fairly constant throughout the day. Noise from children and adults visiting the park is expected, however the noise levels will be consistent with the City's General Plan noise dBA. The park will be surrounded by a seven foot tall fence which will be constructed of a block material on the north, south, and west sides. The east side will have partial block and partial tubular steel.

The noise study prepared for the project indicates that the proposed project will not have any significant impact to off-site noise levels along the project's adjacent roadways or other sensitive land uses in the area. There is a church adjacent to the property; however, their parking lot and drive aisle is located on the subject parcel away from the park activities. H.d. Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation: Temporary construction noise impacts vary because the noise strength of construction equipment ranges as a function of the equipment used and its activity level. Short-term construction noise impacts tend to occur in discreet phases dominated initially by earth-moving sources, then by foundation and parking area construction, and finally for finish construction. In general, earth-moving sources are noisiest with equipment noise ranging up to about 90 dBA at 50 feet from the source. Pile drivers, jack hammers and rock drills are also noisy, with the peak noise from a pile driver exceeding 100 dBA at 50 feet and jack hammers and rock drills exceeding 90 dBA. (For more specific information on construction equipment noise generation, please refer to the noise study in the technical appendices). Spherically radiating point sources of noise emissions are atmospherically attenuated by a factor of 6 dB per doubling of distance, or about 20 dB in 500 feet of propagation. The loudest earth-moving noise sources will therefore sometimes be temporarily detectable above the local background beyond 1 ,000 feet from the noise source. An extensive noise impact envelope requires a clear line of sight from source to receiver. Any terrain, topography or structures between the source and receiver would limit line of sight. Construction noise impacts are therefore less than predicted under theoretical maximum input conditions.

The penalty associated with noise disturbance during quiet hours, and the nuisance factor accompanying such disturbance, usually leads to time limits on grading activity imposed as a condition on grading permits. The following mitigation measures will be imposed on the project: The applicant shall require that construction activities be limited to no more than the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. No construction can occur outside of these hours or on Sundays or holidays except in the event of emergency. The applicant shall establish a noise complaint response program and shall respond to any noise complaints received for this project by measuring noise levels at the affected receptor site. If the noise level exceeds an Ldn of 65 dBA exterior or an Ldn of 45 dBA interior at the receptor, the applicant will implement adequate measures (which may include portable sound attenuation walls, use of quieter equipment, shift of construction schedule to avoid the presence of sensitive receptors, etc.) to reduce noise levels to the greatest extent feasible. The applicant will require that all construction equipment be operated with mandated noise control equipment (mufflers or silencers). Enforcement will be accomplished by random field inspections by applicant personnel during construction activities. Compliance with the above time limits will ensure that construction noise impacts are controlled to a less than significant level. These time limits are set as conditions on the project grading permits. Compliance with these criteria will preclude creation of a significant temporary noise impact during construction; therefore less than significant impacts are expected from this project. 11.e-f. No Impact: This project is not within two miles of a public airport or public or private use airport. According to Figure 5.10-4 of the French Valley Airport Future Noise Contours in the Noise Element of the General Plan, the project is not located in the noise impact area for the French Valley Airport. In addition, the project is not located in the French Valley Airport Land Use Compatibility Zone according to Figure 5.9-3 in the Land Use and Planning Element of the. General Plan. Therefore, people within the project area will not be exposed to excessive noise levels generated by an airport and less than significant impacts will result from this project.

The water park will only be open during the summer months, which will greatly decrease the need for public services for the water park the rest of the year. In addition, the water park will have life guards on duty for safety. The project will also contribute its fair share through the City's Development Impact Fees to the maintenance or provision of services from these entities.

Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated: A Traffic Study was conducted by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., dated September 2006. Under existing conditions, all intersections evaluated in the Traffic Study are functioning at LOS D or better during existing peak hour conditions except for the following intersections: Winchester Road at 1-15 NB Ramp (weekday evening peak hour), Winchester Road at Ynez Road (weekday evening at peak hour), Winchester Road at Promenade Mall East (weekday evening peak hour), Winchester Road at Margarita Road (weekday evening peak hour). With the addition of the project to the existing conditions, all intersections would continue to operate at LOS D or better except for those listed above that were already operating below acceptable levels per the City standards. The interseCtion of Ynez Road and County Center Drive warrants signalization under current conditions and is scheduled for signalization in the near future. City staff has directed that an annual ambient growth rate of 2% per year be applied to existing (2006) peak hour, traffic volumes. Assuming the project is constructed and operational in 2007, all intersections would function at LOS D or better during peak hours with the exception of the intersections forecasted to operate at an. una""",!-,;"'ble LOS without the project, and will continue to do so with the addition of project traffic. The project will contribute to intersections already operating at a deficient LOS, but will not cause any intersection to worsen to an unacceptable LOS, or to fall to a lower LOS. The over-capacity conditions along Winchester Road will be improved with the completion of the French Valley Parkway Interchange, which will result in a new interchange with the 1-15 Freeway one mile to the north. The construction of the French Valley Parkway Interchange project will result in substantial improvement of peak hour intersection traffic along Winchester to an acceptable LOS. The. Winchester northbound ramp intersection and the WinchesterNnez intersection will continue to operate at a LOS "P' during the evening peak hour; the total average daily vehicle delay will be reduced by as much as 30-90 seconds per vehicle. With the French Valley Parkway Interchange in place, some traffic that currently uses the Winchester Road interchange will shift to the north, providing some relief. Likewise, it is expected that the portion of the G:\PlannlngI2OO6IPA06-Q213 Temecula Wale' Park CUP\Plannlng~nitial Environmenlal Study.doc 28 Temecula Water Park traffic that was forecasted to approach the site from the north will also shift from the Winchester Interchange to the French Valley Parkway Interchange, which would further reduce any project contribution to congestion on Winchester Road. The proposed project developed as a water park generates average weekday entering vehicles of 630 over the course of the day, for a total of 1,260 trips. Average Saturday entering vehicles is 802 vehicles, for a total daily trip generation of 1,604 trips. The project site is currently zoned Service Commercial. The Service Commercial designation would allow many different types of development, including office and retail uses. Assuming the Target Floor Area Ration of .30, the 15.4 acre site could be developed with up to 201,247 square feet of commercial or office uses. An office use would bring 2,216 daily weekday trips/83 weekend trips and a department store could bring in 11,274 daily weekday trips/1 ,008 weekend trips per day. The proposed water park use would generate less traffic each day during the peak hours (additionally, the water park does not open until 10:00 a.m.) than most other uses, since any other type of development would typically be open 5 to 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. The proposed water park is anticipated to generate significantly less traffic on an annual basis than any other allowed use. Over the long-term, the proposed project will contribute to LOS F traffic flows at the locations identified above, even after above mentioned improvements are implemented. However, this project will not significantly worsen the traffic flow after implementation of mitigation. In addition, the project is required to pay fair share to circulation system, components that are impacted by cumulative traffic growth in the Temecula region. Based on the identified project specific and cumulative impacts of the proposed project, the City concludes that potential project specific and cumulative effects of the project are effectively mitigated to a less than significant impact level based on the mitigation measures identified below, including payment of fair share fees for circulation system impacts that result from cumulative traffic growth. With implementation of the above condition of approval, the project's specific and cumulative circulation system impacts will be offset or mitigated to a less than significant level of impact. 15.c. No Impact: The project site is located approximately seven miles from the nearest airport, French Valley, and therefore project implementation has no potential to adversely impact any air traffic patterns. No railroads occur adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the project site. No impact can be identified, and no mitigation is required. 15.d. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed circulation system improvements associated with the project will be i.nstalled in conformance with the City's circulation system requirements. The Traffic Study recommends implementation of the following conditions relative to the new circulation system components. Complete the internal circulation system per the City of Temecula standards. Sight distance at the project accesses shall be reviewed with respect to standard City of Temecula sight distance standards and constructed in conformance with these standards. Traffic signing/striping shall be defined at the time detailed construction plans are completed and implemented prior to occupancy. Stop signs, stop bars and stop legends shall be provided at the project access points. Implementation of these measures will ensure that no residual traffic hazards result from the construction of the roadways in conjunction with the proposed project. Therefore, less than significant impacts are projected. 15.e. No Impact: A review of the site plan design indicates that emergency access is provided by one ingress and one egress outlet from Ynez Road. The Fire Department and the Department of Public Works has reviewed the project and has determined that there is adequate internal emergency vehicle access. The G:\Planningl2006IPA06-0213 Temecula Wale' Park CUPlPtannlngllnitial Environmental Study.doc 29 proposed development will have no effect on emergency access to adjacent parcels after development. No impacts are anticipated. 15.f. No Impact: The project is consistent with the parking requirements of the City's Development Code. The project proposes 433 parking spaces. The Development Code requires 393 parking spaces. No adverse parking capacity impacts are forecast to occur. No impact is anticipated as a result of this project. 15.g. No Impact: The City of Temecula mass transit is provided by the Riverside Transit Authority (RTA). The project will be required to be designed consistent with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting this alternative transportation. No conflict or adverse impact to adopted alternative transportation policies, plans or programs is forecast to occur from implementing the proposed project. No impact is anticipated as a result of this project. I a. I g. 16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: b.

Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project will deliver wastewater to the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) wastewater treatment plant in Temecula. EMWD is in the process of improving sewer capacity to be able to convey the expected peak flows at full development of the areas it services. Through the payment of annexation fees, sewer connection fees, development impact fees (for water facilities), the impact of implementing the proposed project on sewage systems is forecast to be less than significant. 16.b. Less Than Significant Impact: Through the payment of ,water district fees, sewer connection fees, development impact fees (for water facilities) and meter installation fees, the impact of implementing the proposed project on sewage systems is forecast to be less than significant. Adequate capacity exists in each G:\PlanningI2006IPA06-0213 Temecula Water Pal1< CUP\Planning~nilial Environmental Study.doc 30 system for this project to be implemented without causing significant adverse impacts to these systems. Less than significant impact is expected as a result from this project. 16.c. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project would increase runoff as a result of increasing the impervious surface on the project site. The City imposes standard mitigation to detain surface runoff on the property to ensure that the maximum runoff volume from the site is not significantly increased. Based upon the information presented above, the project will not result in the need for construction of new storm water drainage facilities other than those discussed above and analyzed as part of the project. Less than significant impact is expected from this project. 16.d. Less Than Significant Impact: Adequate water supplies have been identified by the Rancho California Water District to meet the current and immediate future demands in its service area, including the proposed project. Therefore, a less than significant impact is expected. 16.e. Less Than Significant Impact: Adequate wastewater treatment capacity has been identified by the EMWD to meet the current and immediate future demands in its service area, including the proposed project. Therefore, less than a significant impact is expected. 16.f. No Impact: According to the General Plan and the County Solid Waste Management Plan adequate landfill disposal capacity exists within the regional landfills to meet current and future demands. Solid waste mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR (Measures 2 and 3) must be implemented by all projects in the City to meetthe City's source reduction requirements. No impact is expected. 16.g. Less Than Significant Impact: By participating in the City's source reduction and recycling element, the proposed project will comply with all statutes and regulations for management of solid waste. The proposed commercial and residential project does not pose any significant or unique management requirements. Therefore, less than significant impact is expected as a result from this project.

Sign~tp~ss . "Mitigation" IncOrDoraled Nolmoact ,LEiss Than Significant Im")8Ct .; 0(' 0(' 17.a-c. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project is the construction and development of a 13,000 square foot water park on 15 acres. The project will be accessed via a one way entrance and a one way exit off of Ynez Road. This project will provide a commercial recreational outlet for the City of Temecula if it is approved for development. A water park use is allowed by Conditional Use Permit approval in the Service Commercial land use designation if approved by the City. Potential impacts include short-term construction effects and the long-term effects that result from converting a property from its existing disturbed, pastoral setting to a commercial recreational use. Most of the potential adverse impacts are either not significant without mitigation or they can be controlled to a less than significant impact with identified mitigation measures. Several potential impacts (air quality, transportation/circulation) require extensive mitigation, including modification of the construction schedule, to ensure that impacts are controlled to a less than significant level. Traffic impacts are limited, but when combined with the effects of past projects approved in the immediate area, the cumulative result is considerable. The applicant will be required to pay standard mitigation fees that will be used to help ease the traffic impacts in the City. With the identified mitigation required to be implemented, the proposed project is not forecast to cause any significant adverse environmental impacts to any of the environmental resource issues addressed in this Initial Study. The City of Temecula proposes to issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration with mitigation as the appropriate environmental determination for this projeqt to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City will issue a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and distribute this document for public review. Assuming potential project impacts remain less than significant after receipt of comments and development of responses, the City will consider adopting the Mitigated Negative Oeclaration prior to issuance of any of the entitlements for this project to be developed on the project site.

TEMECULA WATER PARK ATTACHMENT NO.5 STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS G:\Planning\2006IPAOe-0213 Temecula Water Pal1< CUPlPlanning\PC Staff Report.doc 14 " TEMECULA WATERPARK Statement of Operations Clearwater Waterpark Development is pleased to submit for your review a statement of operations for the development of a waterpark located on Ynez Rd at the intersection of Ynez Rd. and County Center Dr. and near the intersection of Yunez Rd. and Winchester Rd. The park we be developed on approximately +/-15 acres. The site is designed to accommodate approximately +/- 8.5 acres of waterpark with the balance allotted for access, and parking. Following is a partial listing of the key points accompanied by a brief description of the operations that would affect the property under which Clearwater anticipates working: 1. Hours and Days of Operation- The waterpark operating season is about four months of a calendar year. It is anticipated the Temecula Park will be open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Additionally, the park will open for a few weekends prior to Memorial Day and after Labor Day depending on the weather. 2. Number of Employees- It is anticipated the park will retain a full time staff of 15 employees and 300 seasonal or part-time employees. The full time staff will oversee the year round operation and maintenance of the park. The 300 seasonal employee work forces will primarily be youth recruited from within the local community. 3. Number of Required Parking- Parking will be based on the City's code for a community/recreational pool of 1 space per 1,000 s.t. of recreational area for the park, and standard parking requirements for the administration buildings. This would equate to approximately 370 stalls for the park and an additional 48 for the administration and food service buildings totaling 418 stalls. Currently the park is designed to accommodate 438 vehicles with an additional 14 handicap stalls. 4. Average Daily Peak Trips Generated-. Clearwater anticipates the average daily attendance to be 2,000 people. 50% of the attendance or approximately 185 vehicles will arrive at the park between the hours of 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. 85% of the daily attendance or approximately 130 cars will arrive before 3:30 PM. The remaining 15% or 55 vehicles will arrive at the park between the hours 3:30 PM and 8:00 PM. According to a parking and traffic, nearly all trips generated by the operation of the Temecula Park will not be during peak hours. . 5. Type of Equipment or Process Used- There is not special equipment or processes used in the operation of a waterpark. 6. Description of Hazardous Materials- In order to maintain standards set forth by local health codes, a storage area for liquid chlorine will be designed into the park. This storage area will be located at the SE corner of the park behind the wave pool. In addition to liquid chlorine, a small quantity of muriatic acid will stored and used on site. Clearwater Waterpark Development feels the development of a waterpark in the City of Temecula will prove to be a tremendous asset to the community. It will not only provide wholesome family recreation for the residents of Temecula , but provide employment opportunities to hundreds of youth. Clearwater Waterpark Development looks forward to working with the City of Temecula and successfully constructing a Temecula's own premier waterpark.
