BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On December 15, 2010, Karen Raftery submitted Planning Application No. PA10-0348,
Tentative Parcel Map No. 36098. The Map was originally designed to create financing
opportunities for Linfield Christian School. On May 6, 2014, the applicant presented a final
submission of the project to staff. This submittal represented a Phased Map consisting of five
separate phases. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been
addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Tentative Parcel Map (No. 36098) will subdivide the existing four parcels of the Linfield Christian
School campus and create a five -phased Tentative Parcel Map. The original four parcels total
91.08 gross acres. Phase 1 of the Map will contain three parcels. Phases 2 through 5 will
contain one parcel respectively. No physical development is proposed as part of the project.
The map indicates that proposed land uses for the newly created parcels will remain consistent
with the Linfield Christian School Planned Development Overlay (PDO).
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the UT -San Diego on August 7, 2014 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600 -foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project has
been deemed to be consistent with the previously prepared Mitigated Negative Declaration that
was prepared for the Linfield Christian School PDO.
The PDO for Linfield Christian School was submitted on November 12, 2002. This application
was accompanied by a Conditional Use Permit and a Development Plan. Staff reviewed the
applications and determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was needed in order
to satisfy CEQA requirements. The MND for the project was circulated for public review from
April 28, 2003 to May 27, 2003 (State Clearing House Number: 2003041174) and was adopted
on August 23, 2003.
The Phased Tentative Parcel Map will require that all proposed uses and development
standards for the new parcels be consistent with the PDO. These uses were evaluated with the
G:\PLANNING\2010\PA10-0348 Linfield School TM\Planning\Hearing\STAFF REPORT.doc
2
rest of the PDO as part of the original MND. In addition, any future construction and uses will
be required to adhere to the adopted mitigation measures of the MND. Further environmental
review should take place if and when a use is proposed that is not consistent with the PDO.
FINDINGS
Tentative Map (Section 16.09.0140)
The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision are consistent
with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan, and the City of
Temecula Municipal Code.
The proposed Phasing Map is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance, Temecula General
Plan, and the City of Temecula Municipal Code.
The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into
pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.
The proposed map does not impact land designated for conservation or agricultural use.
The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed by
the tentative map.
The proposed map subdivides four existing parcels totaling 91.08 gross acres into a Phased
Tentative Parcel Map. No development is proposed as part of the project. The proposed
Tentative Parcel Map design is consistent with the Temecula General Plan, and the City of
Temecula Municipal Code.
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with conditions of approval, are
not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
The project consists of a Phased Tentative Parcel Map. No construction or grading is proposed
as part of the project. As conditioned, the subdivision is not likely to cause significant
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The project has been reviewed by the Fire, Public Works, Planning, and Building and Safety
Departments. As a result, the project is consistent or has been conditioned to be consistent
with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code which contain provisions to protect the health,
safety, and welfare of the Public. Furthermore, all future development will be required to adhere
to the Mitigation Monitoring Program adopted as part of the original PDO approval process.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The Phased Tentative Parcel Map does not include new construction or grading.
GAPLANNING\2010\PA10-0348 Linfield School TM\Planning\Hearing\STAFF REPORT.doc

The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those
previously acquired by the public will be provided.
All acquired rights-of-way and easements have been provided on the phased Tentative Map.
The City has reviewed these easements and has found no potential conflicts.
The subdivision is consistent with the City's Parkland Dedication requirements (Quimby Act).
The project does not involve the construction of any residential uses and is therefore not subject
to the City's Parkland Dedication requirements.

Description of Project
PA02-0612 is a Planned Development Overlay (PDO -7) proposal to
modify the land use standards to allow for a mix of uses on 93.77
acres including educational, recreational, institutional and residential
facilities.
PA01-0653 is a (Master) Conditional Use Permit/Development Plan
application. The Master CUP application applies to the overall project
and phasing. In addition, the Master CUP establishes design
guidelines and provides a "blueprint" for future site layout. The
overall proposal includes 120,374 square feet of new high school
facilities, 11,243 square feet of new middle school facilities, 9,100
square feet of new elementary school facilities, 19,000 square feet of
new kindergarten and pre-school facilities, one new junior varsity
baseball field. one new middle school soccer field, one new
football/track stadium, 6 new tennis courts, 3 new outdoor ball
courts, 10,189 square feet of middle school lockers, courts and
student store, 28,114 square foot gymnasium and pool, and 15,000
square feet of various sports and accessory structures. The project
also includes a sensitive resource area proposed for preservation.
The development plan proposal is for the design of phase A-1 as
outlined in the Master CUP document. The Master CUP establishes
the overall site into 3 planning areas. Area 1A is broken down into
various phases beginning with phase A-1 (High School) to phase F-2
(Superintendent/Caretaker housing).

Comments:
1.a. No Impact. The existing property has not been identified as a scenic vista in the City of Temecula's
General Plan.
1.b. No Impact. Rancho Vista Road and Pauba Road are not designated as scenic resources nor is the
site within the view of a state scenic highway. As a consequence, no significant impact to scenic
resources will result from the proposed project or future development of the site.
I.C. No Impact. The general character of the site will be maintained through site design and by maintaining
an abundance of the existing landscaping and mature trees. Additional trees and landscaping have
been proposed to maintain the rural character and blend with the existing site. The design of the site
has been proposed which maintains the rural components of the site, including landscaping, on-site
pond, open space and athletic fields.
1.d. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will introduce new lighting in the area that could impact
adjacent residences and Mount Palomar observatory unless mitigated. Conditions of approval have
been implemented which require the athletic field lighting to have limited hours of operation (10:00 PM)
and all security and parking lot lighting will be conditioned to comply with Mount Palomar Lighting
Ordinance.
2. Agricultural Resources. in determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant

Comments:
2a. -c. No Impact. The project site is not currently in agricultural production and in the historic past the site
has not been used for agricultural purposes. 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. Therefore, there is no significant impact
related to this issue.

Comments:
3.a, No Impact. The proposed project will not conflict with the air quality plan. The land use and proposed
density are consistent with the City's general plan air quality element because the use is consistent with
the general plan land use designation and the 26 residential units proposed are considered secondary
to the primary use because the residential units are proposed only for students and/or faculty of the
school.
3.b. c. Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigations_ The project will not create an unreasonable amount
of vehicle trips per day than already existing for the site and will not produce additional air pollution than
currently existing for the site because the site will continue to be primarily used as a school facility with
secondary residential uses. The project is not identified as a major source of air pollution. Temporary
impacts due to construction of the site may be expected, however the impacts are not considered
significant and conditions of approval have been incorporated that will mitigate these temporary
impacts.
3.d. Less Than Significant Impact. As proposed the project will not expose sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrators. The proposed project will fall below the significance levels
established by SCAQMD for construction and operational emissions. As a consequence a less than
significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
3.e. No Impact. Typical construction odors may be present during construction activities, however these
impacts are considered temporary and will not contribute significant long-term impacts. No other
objectionable odors are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

The project will be required to provide a water truck to continuously "water down" the graded
areas to reduce the amount of dust from excavation. During grading activities, site shall be
watered down no less than three times per day in order to comply with AQMD Rule 403 -Fugitive
Dust. In addition, all heavy equipment must be regularly maintained to reduce emissions.

Comments
4.a. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The General Plan does not designate
the project site as a potentially sensitive habitat site, however a current biological survey of the site (A
General Biological Resources Survey and Jurisdictional Delineation on APN # 955-002-002, The
Linfield School Project, L & L Environmental, Inc., August, 2001) has identified the project site as
potentially environmentally sensitive habitat areas for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly (QCB),
southwestern willow flycatcher and least Bell's vireo. In addition a follow-up focused raptor survey was
recommended. A follow-up study has been completed for the QBC (Focused Survey For The Quino
Checkerspot Butterfly on APN # 955-002-002, The Linfield School, L & L Environmental, Inc., June
2002), however the results indicated that it is unlikely that QBC individuals or a QBC breeding
population currently utilize the subject property. In a follow up letter from L & L Environmental, Inc.,
dated February 19, 2003, it was determined that further studies are not necessary for least Bell's vireo
and southwestern willow flycatcher since the area determined to provide habitat for these species lies
RAP 0 012002\02-0612 Linfid6nitial study-l-Revised.dm
within a resource area to be preserved. A follow-up focused raptor survey has been complete (Results
of a focused raptor nesting survey for APN # 955-002-002, The Linfield Project, L & L Environmental,
Inc., March 21, 2002) and has determined that while a single raptor nest was observed on the project it
was determined to be abandoned or currently unoccupied. The report recommends a follow-up site visit
is necessary to determine if the nest has become occupied. As a mitigation measure and condition of
approval, the applicant, prior to issuance of a grading permit shall perform a follow-up site visit by a
qualified biologist to determine if the nest has become occupied by a raptor. In addition, the riparian
trees and riparian habitat and associated drainages are regulated under state and federal permits
which are required for this project. The biological survey (August 2001) submitted for the project as
mentioned above has identified on-site wetlands as defined by the Clean Water Act and the necessary
permits are required prior to commencement of various construction on the project site. The necessary
studies have been completed for the project site, as well as focused follow-up studies and have
determined that no significant impacts will occur as a result of the proposed development. Mitigation
Measures have been applied.
At the request of the California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Department of Fish and
Wildlife, the applicant has prepared a focused Survey for the Least Bell's Vireo and Southwestern
Willow Flycatcher (Focused survey for the Least Bell's Vireo and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher on
the Linfield Christian School, L & L Environmental, Inc., August 2003), and an ongoing focused survey
for the Coastal California Gnatcatcher (Status of the Ongoing Focused survey report for the Coastal
California Gnatcatcher on the Linfield Christian School, L & L Environmental, Inc., July 31, 2003), which
is anticipated for completion in October of 2003. The U.S. Department of Fish and Game authorized
compressed scheduling for the U.S.F.W.S. protocol studies to include eight surveys, five days apart for
Least Bell's Vireo. Also approved by the U.S.F.W.S. was an amended protocol survey for the
Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, which included missing survey period one and conducting a fifth site
visit July 17 — July 25.
The focused survey for Least Bells Vireo and Southwestern Flycatcher were conducted within areas of
suitable habitat during the months of June to July of 2003. During this time no Least Bell's Vireos or
Southwestern Willow Flycatchers were observed or detected. The study concluded that neither of
theses species do not currently occupy the project site. No further studies or mitigations have been
proposed or recommended for these particular species.
The particular area of concern in regard to the Coastal California Gnatcatcher is the southwestern
portion of the project site, which includes Planning Area 2 of the Master Plan. This area is not proposed
for development at this time, but is included in the Master Plan as a residential area for future
development. The area in question will require a subsequent development plan application prior to any
disturbance to this area. The applicant is in the process of completing the required Coastal California
Gnatcatcher studies for this particular area. However, four of the required nine surveys have been
complete. During the course of the four completed surveys, no Coastal California Gnatcatchers have
been observed or detected on the project site. As a Condition of Approval and Mitigation Measure, the
applicant will complete the nine surveys for the project site and submit a summary report with
conclusions and recommended mitigation measures it necessary. Upon the request for development in
the area, the Coastal California Gnatcatcher study will be complete and mitigations measures and
Conditions of Approval will be implemented. Mitigation Measures have been applied.
4.b. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated The project site contains a mixed
riparian habitat within the project site that falls within the state jurisdictional area. A significant amount
of the mixed riparian area will be preserved as a result of the proposed project or it is in a currently
developed area, but will be maintained as an open space area. As a part of the proposed project, a
resource area has been set aside for preservation on the project site. This area will remain
undeveloped and is designated as a sensitive resource area. Mitigation Measures have been applied.
4.c. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated The project site contains wetland areas
on the project site. There are a total of 2.85 acres of streambeds or wetlands per the definition of the
State criteria for judicial streambeds and .57 acres that meet the federal criteria for Waters of the United
RAP D 012002\02-0612 Unfieldlinitial study-l-Revised.doc
States. Approximately 1.09 acres of state streambeds, 1.81 acres of state wetlands and .83 acres of
federal wetlands will be impacted by the project as currently proposed. The remaining wetland and
streambed acreage will be maintained as open space and will be identified as such on the master plan.
Mitigation Measures have been applied.
4.d. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site includes riparian
woodlands, streambeds and wetlands. The study (A General Biological Resources Survey and
Jurisdictional Delineation on APN #'955-002-002, The Linfield School Project, L & L Environmental,
Inc., August, 2001) identified three fish species of special status, however no habitat occurs on the site
for any fish species. No special status mammals were noted during the biological survey. The project
site does not contain a significant open grassland area, habitat for the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat, listed
as Threatened, Endangered or a candidate for listing. The project site is, however, within the Riverside
County Habitat Conservation Plan for this species. Seventeen bird species were observed on the
project site, including several special status raptors. A follow-up study has been complete and found a
single raptor nest was identified, however it was either abandoned or unoccupied at the time the study
was performed. Additionally, the study area includes riparian habitat and drainages that are regulated
under state and federal jurisdiction. State and Federal permits are required for this project. Two
amphibian species (western toad and pacific tree frog) were observed on the project site. No reptiles
were observed on the project site, however no species known to be Endangered, Threatened or on a
candidate list are expected to be found on the site. Habitat for Quino checkerspot butterfly is very poor.
A focused study was complete and found that while the site does support Quino checkerspot larval host
plant resources, no adult, ova, larvae or pupae were detected during the six week study and it is
unlikely that Quino checkerspot butterfly individuals or a breeding population currently utilize the project
site. Since no Endangered, Threatened or species on the candidate list were observed on the project
site, the impacts are less than significant, however Mitigation Measures have been applied for areas
under state and federal jurisdiction.
4.0. No Impact. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. The
project will be conditioned to comply with provisions of Chapter 8.24 of the Temecula Municipal Code
(Habitat Conservation), which requires payment of the Stephens Kangaroo Rat fee. This will serve as
suitable impact mitigation.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
1. The project is required to apply for and obtain the necessary state and federal permits, including a
section 401 permit, 1603 streambed alteration agreement, and a Corps Nationwide 39 permit as
recommended in the Biological resource survey by L & L Environmental Inc. (August, 2001, August
24, 2001, March 2002, and June 2002).
2. The project has established a resource area that will be preserved and will not be developed. The
resource area shall remain in its current state unless development is proposed in the resource area,
which will be subject to additional environmental review and a public hearing.
3. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a follow-up site visit from a qualified biologist shall be
conducted to determine if the raptor nest has been occupied. A report with recommendations shall
be provided prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
4. The proper habitat conservation and Stephens Kangaroo Rat fee shall be paid prior to the issuance
of a grading permit.
5. All Coastal Sage Scrub habitat on the site including the patch in the southwest corner, between the
riparian corridor and the road as well as the approximately .05 acres of hillside/top habitat in the
northwest portion of the project site shall be avoided. In addition, a 150 -foot buffer between the
habitat areas and any proposed development shall also be avoided. In the event that the proponent
submits a grading plan application for development or grading in either of the Coastal Sage Scrub
habitat areas, the proponent shall also submit to the City and the U.S.F.W.S, a completed focused,
full protocol study, either nesting or non -nesting season with negative finding and a conclusion by
RAP D 012002\02-0612 UnfieldvniUal study-t-Revised.doc
the U.S.F.W.S. permitted biologist that the species will not be negatively impacted by the proposed
development plan and/or grading plan. In the event that the site is found to be occupied and a
survey with positive findings is produced, no work within the Coastal Sage Scrub habitat or the 150 -
foot buffer area shall occur until a formal consultation with the U.S.F.W.S. has occurred and a
permit for incidental take has been issued.

Comments:
5.a. Less than Significant Impact With Mitigations Incorporated. The subject site does not meet the
criteria of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 of the California Environmental Quality
Act. In addition the City of Temecula General Plan and associated EIR does not identify the site as a
historical resource area. The General Plan has identified the project site as a highly sensitive site for
paleontological resource area. An archaeological and paleontological survey (A Phase I Archaeological
and Paleontological Survey Report on the Linfield Christian School Expansion Site, APN # 955-002-
002, L & L Environmental, Inc., February 11, 2003) has been complete for the project site. The results
of the records search indicated that there are no previously recorded archaeological sites within the
subject parcel. The report did recognize that an important lithologic deposit underlies the ground
surface area of the project site and has the potential for yielding scientifically significant specimens.
Mitigations have been recommended including paleontological and archaeological monitoring during all
earthmoving activities of the site.
5.b -d. Less Than Significant Impact A phase I archaeological and paleontological study (A Phase I
Archaeological and Paleontological Survey Report on the Linfield Christian School Expansion Site,
APN # 955-002-002, L & L Environmental, Inc., February 11, 2003) was completed for the project site.
According to the study, while there were no materials identified during the field survey, the study
concluded there is a low probability that prehistoric or historic resources will be impacted by continued
development of the project site. Additionally, neither the City of Temecula General Plan Environmental
Impact Report nor the City's General Plan identifies this project site as an area of significant cultural
resources. The project will include conditions of approval to provide a paleontologist and an
archaeologist or representative monitor present during all earthmoving phases with the authority to
temporarily divert, redirect or halt grading activity to allow recovery of fossils.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES/CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The applicant shall comply with all the mitigations measures as recommended in the phase I
archaeological and paleontological survey, prepared by L & L Environmental, Inc., dated
February 11, 2003.
2. The applicant shall provide an on-site archaeological and paleontological monitoring during all
phases of earthmoving activities as recommended in the Phase I archaeological report by L & L
Environmental, Inc. (February 2003).
R:tP D 012002W2-0612 LinfieMnitiat study-l-Revised.doc
3. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant must enter into an agreement with the
Pechanga Band that addresses the treatment and disposition of all cultural resources and
human resources and human remains discovered on-site.
4. Prior to the completion of the project a phase II, and if warranted a phase III survey shall be
performed.
5. The landowner agrees to relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including archaeological
artifacts found on the project site, to the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians for proper treatment
and disposition.

Comments
6.a. Less Than Significant Impact. . The project site is not within any known fault zones as recognized in
the City of Temecula General Plan. The nearest known fault to the project site is the Wildomar Fault
zone, and is located approximately 1-2 miles to the west. According to the General Plan EIR (GPEIR),
the City of Temecula is in Ground shaking Zone ll, which will experience moderate to intense ground
shaking in the event of a major regional earthquake. Any potential significant impacts will be mitigated
through building construction, which is consistent with the Uniform Building Code standards. In addition,
the project will be conditioned to provide a soils report prior to grading and recommendations contained
in said report are followed during construction.
6.b. No Impact. The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental
Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or
mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result
of this project.

6.c.d.e. No Impact. Potential impacts will be mitigated by the building construction, which requires new
construction to comply with the Uniform Building Code standards. A soils report shall be required as
part of the development and shall contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will
serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure
(including liquefaction), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation,
grading or fill and expansive soils. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of
approval for development projects at the site. Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation,
grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of proper compaction of the soils and landscaping.
6.d. Less Than Significant Impact. Any potential significant impacts will be mitigated through building
construction, consistent with the Uniform Building Code standards. Further, the project will be
conditioned to provide soil reports prior to grading and recommendations contained in this report are
complied with during construction. The soil reports will also contain recommendations for the
compaction of the soil, which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic
ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils.
6.e. No Impact. Additional septic sewage disposal systems are not proposed for this project. The project
will be connected to the existing public sewer system in Pauba Road; therefore, no impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments
7.a Less Than Significant Impact. The project may include some remedial hazardous materials on the
project site such as lead based paints, fertilizers, pesticides or other typical agricultural and/or
maintenance materials on the project site. Since the site is predominately undisturbed, the impacts are
less than significant, however a mitigation measure is added to comply with California environmental
regulations.
7.b -h No Impact The project will not create a significant impact in the creation of any health hazard,
potential health hazard, risk of explosion, release of hazardous substances and it is not located near,
nor is it a site on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section
65962.5 that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. The project site has not
included historic or current uses that result in the release of hazardous wastes/substances that are
considered potentially significant in causing harm. The project site is not known to maintain any
potentially contaminated material that would pose a threat to human health or the environment. The
project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public or private
airstrip. The project will take access from maintained public streets and will therefore not impede
emergency response or evacuation plans. The project will not create a fire hazard in an area with
flammable brush, grass, or trees. While there are existing trees and brush on the site, the site is not
considered a wild land area subject to significant risk of loss due to fire. The project will be reviewed for
compliance with all applicable health laws during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued
unless the project is found to be consistent with all applicable laws. No impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES/CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Any hazardous wastes/materials encountered during construction shall be remediated in accordance
with local, state and federal regulations. Prior to any initiating any construction activities, an
environmental assessment shall be conducted to determine if a release of hazardous
wastes/substances exists on the project site. Proper investigation and remedial actions shall be
conducted at the site prior to its new development.

Comments:
8.a. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements. The project is required to comply with the requirements of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control
Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is
shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be
mitigated to a level that is less than significant. A less than significant impact is anticipated as a result
of this project.
8.b.f. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The project will not have an affect on the
quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals or through
interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge
capability. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact
on ground waters or aquifer volume. A less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this
project.
8.c.d. Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern of the site, however it would not result in substantial erosion or siltation and/or flooding on- or
off-site. Some changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff
is expected whenever development occurs on previously permeable ground. Much of the proposed
project will maintain its permeable surface, such as athletic fields and open space. Previously
permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of structures, accompanying hardscape
and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts shall be
mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances are required for the project to safely and
adequately handle runoff that is created. As conditioned, the proposed project would have a less than
significant impact on the existing facilities.
8.e. Less Than Significant Impact. The project is not anticipated to create or contribute runoff water
which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems, or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The project is conditioned to accommodate the
drainage created as a result of the development of the subject site. In addition, the project is
conditioned so that the drainage will not impact surrounding properties. A less than significant impact is
associated with this project.
8.g. No Impact. This project represents a development plan for a public institutional use within an area
zoned for public institutional uses. Some residential uses are permitted uses and may be developed in
the future, however the project site is not located within a flood plain or an area prone to flooding as
identified on the FEMA maps. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
8.h. No Impact The project will have no impact on people or property to water related hazards such as
flooding because the project site is located outside of the 100 -year floodway as identified in the City of
Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (Figure 7-3) and the Flood Insurance Rate
Map Community -Panel Number 06074200058 and 0607420010B. No potential for exposure to
RAP D 012002\02-0612 Unfielddnibal study- 1-Revised.doc
14
significant flood hazards will occur from developing the project site as proposed. Therefore, no impacts
are anticipated as a result of this project.
S.i.j. No Impact The project site is not subject to inundation by sieche, tsunami, or mudflow, as these
events are not known to happen in this region. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments
9.a. No Impact The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established
community. The property to the west is a public high school, which provides many of the same
amenities as the proposed project. On the south and north side of the street are single-family
residences. To the east of the project site are low-density residences with various vacant lots. The
development of this site, as proposed, will be consistent with the intended use of the property and
compatible with the surrounding properties. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
9.b. . Less Than Significant Impact The project will not conflict with the General Plan designation,
environmental plans or policies adopted be agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project
includes a zone change to PDO -7, which allows for flexibility in the uses permitted. The primary use of
the area will remain institutional, as a private school and administrative offices. The associated uses
permitted within the PDO are secondary uses to the primary institutional uses and/or they are as
allowed under the public institutional zoning and general plan designation. Impacts from all General
Plan land use designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan. A
subsequent traffic study has been prepared by the applicant to address the potential impacts from the
residential area proposed by the applicant. Implementation of PDO -7 and the development of Linfield
Christian School do not appear to have the potential to conflict with any agency plans or policies that
have been adopted in order to avoid or mitigate an environmental effect. Agencies with jurisdiction
within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses
would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved for the EIR, such as development
impact fees, will be applied to this project where necessary. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over
the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on this project, and is anticipated the
appropriate comments will be received as to how this project relates to their specific environmental
plans and/or policies. Significant portions of the project site have been previously disturbed and used
for educational and recreational purposes and services are currently in place for the proposed project.
With the mitigation measures in place there will be less than significant impacts on adopted
environmental plans or policies
9.c. No Impact. The proposed project will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or
natural community conservation plan. The site is not within any applicable habitat conservation plan or
natural community conservation plan. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

City of Temecula a classification of MRZ-3a, containing areas of sedimentary deposits, which have the
potential for supplying sand and gravel for concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, it has
been determined that this area contains no deposits of significant economic value based upon available
data in a report entitled Mineral Land Classification of the Temescal Valley Area, Riverside County,
California, Special Report 165, prepared in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act
(SMARA) of 1975. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
11.a Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures. The proposed project is located on an
approximately 94 -acre (Minus 23 -acre land lease area) site directly adjacent to single-family
residences and an existing public high school. The City of Temecula's General Plan has identified
residents as sensitive receptors. A 65 CNEL has been adopted as the maximum exterior noise level
RAP 0 0\2002\02-0612 Linfield\initial study-l-Ravised.doc
16
acceptable for sensitive receptors. The CNEL is an average equivalent A -weighted sound level during
a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of five decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m. and after addition of ten decibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 a.m. and after
10:00 p.m. The proposed site and residences are separated by a 90 to 95 foot right-of-way, including a
street, a 20 foot landscape slope on the residential side and a 20 foot setback on the PDO -7 side,
grade elevations varying from 1 -foot to greater than 35 feet and a combination of solid and wrought iron
fencing. Noise levels as measured from an adjacent similar facility (Temecula Valley High School, 59.3
measured and 61.2 adjusted) do not exceed the 65 dBA CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) as
noted for the existing residential homes and as adopted in the Noise Element of the General Plan. The
addition of a new ball field should not increase the noise dba above the maximum 65 dba allowed since
sporting events are not expected to occur beyond 10:00 PM. Other athletic courts and fields are
proposed, however they are no less than 180 feet from the right-of-way and are separated by slopes
and riparian and woodland area to be maintained. The following mitigation measures will be
implemented.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
1. All outdoor events and public gatherings must cease from 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.
,
11.b. Less Than Significant Impact The uses proposed by the project are not activities that would expose
persons to, or generate excessive ground -borne vibration or ground -borne noise levels. Although there
will be an increase in ground -borne vibration and noise during grading and construction, these will be of
a temporary and short in duration. Due to the limited nature of this exposure and by maintaining
compliance with the City Noise Ordinance there will be a less than significant impacts.
11.c.d. Less Than Significant Impact. The project may result in temporary or periodic increases in ambient
noise levels during construction and thereafter. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise
in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet, which is considered annoying. However, this source of noise
from construction of the project will be of short duration and therefore would not be considered
significant. Furthermore, the project will comply with City ordinances regulating the hours of
construction activity from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 P.M. Monday through Friday and 7:00 A.M. to 3:60 P.M. on
Saturdays. Construction will not be permitted on Sundays and nationally recognized holidays. A less
than significant impact is anticipated at this time.
ti.e.f. No Impact. This project is not within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, therefore,
student, teachers and other persons within the area will not be exposed to excessive noise levels
generated by an airport. Consequently no impact is anticipated as a result of this project.

13.f. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a
need for new or altered public facilities. The Rancho California Water District and the Riverside
Department of Environmental Health have been made aware of this project. A condition of approval
has been placed on this project that will require the proponent to obtain "Will Serve" letters from all of
the public utilities agencies. Service is currently provided for the surrounding residential development,
so extending service to this site is possible, which would result in less than significant impacts as a

Comments
15.a -c. Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigations Incorporated. The project site is currently zoned
Public Institutional, which is also the land use assumed in the City's Circulation Element of the General
Plan. According to the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by the traffic -engineering firm Linscott Law &
Greenspan, the proposed project will decrease the level of service (LOS) for AM/PM peak hour traffic
from D to E. However, the required mitigation measures should improve the LOS to D once the
mitigation measures are constructed. With mitigation measures in place, the project is consistent with
General Plan goals and polices of maintaining a Level of Service "D" or better at all intersections within
the City during peak hours. The proposed project is not anticipated to cause significant impacts to the
RAP D 02002102-0612 Unfielcivnfial study-l-Revised.doc
19
existing traffic system within the City of Temecula. Additionally, the City's Traffic Engineer reviewed the
cumulative impacts during the approval process and has determined that the project's traffic impacts
warrant no further study or mitigations beyond those recommended by the traffic analysis. The following
Mitigation Measures will be implemented:
Mitigation Measures:
1. Restripe the southbound approach of Margarita Road to provide an additional southbound left turn
lane (dual southbound left turn lanes) at the intersection of Pauba Road and Margarita Road.
2. Provide a traffic signal at the realigned intersection of Via Rami/Linfield Way @ Pauba Road.
3. Improve Pauba Road (Secondary Highway Standards - 88' R/W) to include dedication of half -width
street right-of-way, installation of half -width street improvements 720' west of Linfield Way to the
West Boundary, paving, curb and gutter, sidewalk, street lights, drainage facilities, signing and
striping, utilities (including but not limited to water and sewer).
4. Improve Rancho Vista Road (Secondary Highway Standards — 88' R/W) to include dedication of
half -width street right-of-way, installation of half -width street improvements along the North
Boundary frontage, paving, curb and gutter, sidewalk, street lights, drainage facilities, signing and
striping, utilities (including but not limited to water and sewer).
5. Improve Green Tree Road (Local Road Standards — 60' R/W) to include dedication of half -width
street right-of-way, installation of haft -width street improvement from Margarita Road to the North
Boundary, paving, curb and gutter, sidewalk, street light, drainage facilities, signing and striping,
utilities (including but not limited to water and sewer).,
6. Future traffic studies may be required to determine the precise timing of each Mitigation Measure if
the City determines it is necessary.
7. A school zone and striping plan, per Caltrans standards, shall be designed by a registered Civil
Engineer for the school site within this project and included in the street improvements for this
project. Design shall also include a warrant analysis for a flashing yellow beacon and if warrants are
met, shall be installed by developer.
8. Payment of the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF).
15.d -g. No Impact. The proposed development of this property will not result in a change in air traffic patterns
by increasing the traffic levels in the vicinity. The site is not within the French Valley Airport's flight
overlay district. The design of the project will not pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the
people utilizing the roads in the vicinity of the project because there are no sharp curves or dangerous
intersections proposed. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.e. No Impact. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses. The
project, as designed, complies with current City standards and has adequate emergency access. No
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.f. No Impact. The proposed development complies with the City's Development Code parking
requirements for public institutional uses. Many of the uses, such as athletic fields will only be used
during off-peak hours and therefore shared parking will be utilized. Therefore, no significant impacts
are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.g. No Impact The proposed project does not propose to provide public transportation or a public
transportation turnout. Since the proposed project is a private school, it is not anticipated that a
significant need for public transportation will occur. The project as proposed does not conflict with
adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. Because the project does
not propose to significantly increase its employee base, alternative transportation programs specifically
designed for this project are not necessary. The project will be required to provide bicycle racks at a
rate of 1 rack per 20 required parking space per the Development Code.

Comments:
16.a.b.e.
Less Than Significant Impact The project will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements,
require the construction of new treatment facilities, nor affect the capacity of treatment providers. The
project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. Since the project is consistent with the
City's General Plan, less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
16.c. Less Than Significant Impact The project will require on-site storm drains to be constructed. The
project will require various State and Federal Permits. The project will include the construction of
underground storm drains and drainage swales in various location within the project site. No off-site
storm drains or expansion of existing facilities are required as a result of this project. Riverside County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District has reviewed the proposed plan and has determined
that the proposed project would not be impacted by District Master Drainage Plan facilities. Less than
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
16.d. Less Than Significant Impact The project will not significantly impact existing water supplies nor
require expanded water entitlements. The project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems.
While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Rancho California Water
District has provided "water available' letters to the City indicating water resources are available to
serve to proposed project, provided the applicant signs an Agency Agreement with the Water District.
The proposed project is also consistent with the General Plan and the General Plan Final EIR in
regards to use and policies. Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
16.f.g. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not result in a need for new landfill capacity. Any
potential impacts from solid waste created by this development can be mitigated through participation in
Source Reduction and Recycling Programs, which are implemented by the City. Less than significant
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments
17.a. Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. . The project has the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment on site or in the vicinity of the project. The site includes natural drainage
courses and areas identified as riparian woodland. Environmental studies have been completed and
have identified an area to be set aside a resource area. The developer is required to obtain various
State and Federal Permits including, a Section 1602 permit from the Department of Fish and Game,
Clean Water Act Section 401 permit from the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers and clearance from the
Department of Fish and Wildlife for various biological concerns on the project site. A cultural resources
monitor is required to be present on the project site during all earthmoving activities. A traffic analysis
has complete and was reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer to identify traffic calming devices and
mitigation measures to maintain an acceptable level of service as required in the General Plan.
17.b. Less Than Significant Impact. The individual effects from the project are less than significant with
Mitigation Measures incorporated into the project. The project will not have a cumulative effect on the
environment since the project site is an isolated area, surrounded by development. All cumulative
effects for the various land uses of the subject site as well as the surrounding developments were
analyzed in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report. With the mitigation measures in place, the
project will be consistent with the General Plan and Development Code, the cumulative impacts related
to the future development will not have a significant impact.
17.c. No Impact. The project will not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, directly or indirectly. The institutional facility will be designed and developed
consistent with the Development Code, PDO, and the General Plan. No impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
18. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR,
or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or
negative declaration. Section 15083(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following
on attached sheets.
