PD -16. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through
environmental design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute
(NCPI) supports the concept that "the proper design and effective use of the built
environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an
improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary strategies that support this
concept are included as conditions below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition
may include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the
arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means of identifying
controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify
when they are moving from public to semi - public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a
location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users
due to observation and possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of
natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the
users of the areas feel safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that
may conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area,
for example) by distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk
for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance
and intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal
users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention.
Windows and clear lines -of -sight serve to provide such a perception of
surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications (portable two -way radios, for example) and design
efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
PD -17. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their
location can contact the Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police
Department at (951) 506 -5132.
PD -18. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should
be directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at
(951) 506 -5132.

tribes be consulted with regard to issues which impact cultural and spiritual resources, as well as
other governmental concerns. The responsibility to consult with Indian tribes stems from the
unique government -to- government relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. This
arises when tribal interests are affected by the actions of governmental agencies and departments.
In this case, it is undisputed that the project lies within the Pechanga Tribe's traditional territory.
Therefore, in order to comply with CEQA and other applicable Federal and California law, it is
imperative that the City of Temecula consult with the Tribe in order to guarantee an adequate
knowledge base for an appropriate evaluation of the Project effects, as well as generating
adequate mitigation measures.
PECHANGA CULTURAL AFFILIATION TO PROJECT AREA
The Pechanga Tribe asserts that the Project area is part of Payomlanvichum (Luiseno),
and therefore the Tribe's, aboriginal territory as evidenced by the existence of Payomkawichum
place names, toota yixelval (rock art, pictographs, petroglyphs), and an extensive Luiseno artifact
record in the vicinity of the Project. This culturally sensitive area is affiliated with the Pechanga
Band of Luiseno Indians because of the Tribe's cultural ties to this area as well as extensive
history with both this Project and other projects within the area.
The Pechanga Tribe's knowledge of our ancestral boundaries is based on reliable
information passed down to us from our elders; published academic works in the areas of
anthropology, history and ethno- history; and through recorded ethnographic and linguistic
accounts. Of the many anthropologists and historians who have presented boundaries of the
Luiseno traditional territory, none have excluded the City of Temecula from their descriptions
(Sparkman 1908; Kroeber 1925; White 1963; Harvey 1974; Oxendine 1983; Smith and Freers
1994), and such territory descriptions correspond almost identically with that communicated to
the Pechanga people by our elders. While historic accounts and anthropological and linguistic
theories are important in determining traditional Luiseno territory, the most critical sources of
information used to define our traditional territories are our songs, creation accounts, and oral
traditions.
Luiseno history originates with the creation of all things at 'exva Temeeku, in the present
day City of Temecula, and dispersing out to all comers of creation (what is today known as
Luiseno territory). It was at Temecula that the Luiseno deity Wuyoot lived and taught the people,
and here that he became sick, finally expiring at Lake Elsinore. Many of our songs relate the tale
of the people taking the dying Wuyoot to the many hot springs at Elsinore, where he died
(DuBois 1908). He was cremated at 'exva Temeeku. It is the Luiseno creation account that
connects Elsinore to Temecula, and thus to the Temecula people who were evicted and moved to
Indian Tribal Governments, Executive Memorandum of September 23, 2004 on Government -to- Government
Relationships with Tribal Governments, and Executive Memorandum of November 5, 2009 on Tribal Consultation.

the Pechanga Reservation, and now known as the Pechanga Band of Luisetio Mission Indians
(the Pechanga Tribe). From Elsinore, the people spread out, establishing villages and marking
their territories. The first people also became the mountains, plants, animals and heavenly
bodies.
Many traditions and stories are passed from generation to generation by songs. One of
the Luiseno songs recounts the travels of the people to Elsinore after a great flood (DuBois
1908). From here, they again spread out to the north, south, east and west. Three songs, called
Moniivol, are songs of the places and landmarks that were destinations of the Luiseno ancestors,
several of which are located near the Project area. They describe the exact route of the Temecula
(Pechanga) people and the landmarks made by each to claim title to places in their migrations
(DuBois 1908:110). In addition, Pechanga elders state that the Temecula /Pechanga people had
usage /gathering rights to an area extending from Rawson Canyon on the east, over to Lake
Mathews on the northwest, down Temescal Canyon to Temecula, eastward to Aguanga, and then
along the crest of the Cahuilla range back to Rawson Canyon. The Project area is located within
the southern portion of this culturally affiliated territory. The Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) Most Likely Descendent (MLD) files substantiate this habitation and
migration record from oral tradition. These examples illustrate a direct correlation between the
oral tradition and the physical place; proving the importance of songs and stories as a valid
source of information outside of the published anthropological data.
Mora yixilval (rock art) is also an important element in the determination of Luiseno
territorial boundaries. T6ota yixilval can consist of petroglyphs (incised) elements, or
pictographs (painted) elements. The science of archaeology tells us that places can be described
through these elements. Riverside and Northern San Diego Counties are home to red - pigmented
pictograph panels. Archaeologists have adopted the name for these pictograph - versions, as
defined by Ken Hedges of the Museum of Man, as the San Luis Rey style. The San Luis Rey
style incorporates elements which include chevrons, zig -zags, dot patterns, sunbursts, handprints,
net/chain, anthropomorphic (human-like) and zoomorphic (animal -like) designs. Tribal
historians and photographs inform us that some design elements are reminiscent of Luiseno
ground paintings. A few of these design elements, particularly the flower motifs, the net/chain
and zig -zags, were sometimes depicted in Luiseno basket designs and can be observed in
remaining baskets and textiles today.
An additional type of toota yixilval, identified by archaeologists also as rock art or
petroglyphs, are cupules. Throughout Luiseno territory, there are certain hypes of large boulders,
taking the shape of mushrooms or waves, which contain numerous small pecked and ground
indentations, or cupules. Many of these cupule boulders have been identified within a few miles
of the Project. Additionally, according to historian Constance DuBois:
When the people scattered from Ekvo Temeko, Temecula, they were very
powerful. When they got to a place, they would sing a song to make water come
there, and would call that place theirs; or they would scoop out a hollow in a rock

with their hands to have that for their mark as a claim upon the land. The
different parties of people had their own marks. For instance, Albanas's ancestors
had theirs, and Lucario's people had theirs, and their own songs of Munival to tell
how they traveled from Temecula, of the spots where they stopped and about the
different places they claimed (1908:158).
The Tribe knows that the Project area is located within the Luiseno named place of
WaSdava and within a very close proximity to the village of Nemevla. Our songs and stories,
our indigenous place names, as well as academic works, demonstrate that the Luiseno people
who occupied what we know today as the City of Temecula are ancestors of the present -day
Luiseno /Pechanga people, and as such, Pechanga is culturally affiliated to this geographic area.
The Tribe welcomes the opportunity to meet with the City to further explain and provide
documentation concerning our specific cultural affiliation to lands within your jurisdiction.
PROJECT IMPACTS TO CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Project is located in a highly sensitive region of Luiseno territory and the Tribe
believes that the possibility for recovering subsurface resources during ground- disturbing
activities is high. The Tribe has over thirty-five (35) years of experience in working with various
types of construction projects throughout its territory. The combination of this knowledge and
experience, along with the knowledge of the culturally- sensitive areas and oral tradition, is what
the Tribe relies on to make fairly accurate predictions regarding the likelihood of subsurface
resources in a particular location.
The Tribe is not opposed to this Project; however, we are opposed to any direct, indirect
and cumulative impacts this Project may have to tribal cultural resources. The Tribe's primary
' concerns stem from the Project's proposed impacts on Native American cultural resources. The
Tribe is concerned about both the protection of unique and irreplaceable cultural resources, such
as Luiseno village sites, sacred sites and archaeological items which would be displaced by
ground disturbing work on the Project, and on the proper and lawful treatment of cultural items,
Native American human remains and sacred items likely to be discovered in the course of the
work.
The Tribe requests to be involved and participate with the City of Temecula in assuring
that an adequate environmental assessment is completed, and in developing all monitoring and
mitigation plans and measures for the duration of the Project. In addition, given the sensitivity of
the Project area, it is the position of the Pechanga Tribe that professional Pechanga tribal
monitors be required to be present during all ground- disturbing activities conducted in
connection with the Project, including any additional archeological excavations performed.

The CEQA Guidelines state that lead agencies should make provisions for inadvertent
discoveries of cultural resources (CEQA Guidelines § 15064.5). As such, it is the position of the
Pechanga Tribe that an agreement specifying appropriate treatment of inadvertent discoveries of
cultural resources be executed between the Project Applicant/Developer and the Pechanga Tribe.
The Tribe believes that adequate cultural resources assessments and management must
always include a component which addresses inadvertent discoveries. Every major State and
Federal law dealing with cultural resources includes provisions addressing inadvertent
discoveries (See e.g.: CEQA (Cal. Pub. Resources Code §21083.2(i); 14 CCR §1506.5(f));
Section 106 (36 CFR §800.13); NAGPRA (,43 CFR §10.4). Moreover, most state and federal
agencies have guidelines or provisions for addressing inadvertent discoveries (See e.g.: FHWA,
Section 4(f) Regulations - 771.135(g); CALTRANS, Standard Environmental Reference - 5-
10.2 and 5- 10.3). Because of the extensive presence of the Tribe's ancestors within the Project
area, it is not unreasonable to expect to find vestiges of that presence. Such cultural resources
and artifacts are significant to the Tribe as they are reminders of their ancestors. Moreover, the
Tribe is expected to protect and assure that all cultural sites of its ancestors are appropriately
treated in a respectful manner. Therefore, as noted previously, it is crucial to adequately address
the potential for inadvertent discoveries.
Further, the Pechanga Tribe believes that if human remains are discovered, State law
would apply and the mitigation measures for the permit must account for this. According to the
California Public Resources Code, § 5097.98; if Native American human remains are discovered,
the Native American Heritage Commission must name a "most likely descendant," who shall be
consulted as to the appropriate disposition of the remains. Given the Project's location in
Pechanga territory, the Pechanga Tribe intends to assert its right pursuant to California law with
regard to any remains or items discovered in the course of this Project.
PROJECT MITIGATION MEASURES
The Project is located in a sensitive area of Payontkawichum territory and we believe that the
potential to impact subsurface cultural resources is high, given that the Project area has not been
previously developed. At this time. the Tribe asks that, at a minimum, the City include the following
mitigation measures in its environmental assessment documents:
MM I Prior to beginning project construction, the Project Applicant shall retain a
Riverside County qualified archaeological monitor to monitor all ground -
disturbing activities in an effort to identify any unknown archaeological
resources. Any newly discovered cultural resource deposits shall be subject to a
cultural resources evaluation.
MM 2 At least 30 days prior to beginning project construction, the Project Applicant
shall contact the Pechanga Tribe to notify the Tribe of grading, excavation and the

monitoring program, and to develop a Cultural Resources Treatment and
Monitoring Agreement between the Applicant/Developer and the Tribe. The
Agreement shall address the treatment of known cultural resources, the
designation, responsibilities, and participation of professional Native American
Tribal monitors during grading; excavation and ground disturbing activities;
project grading and development scheduling; terms of compensation for the
monitors; and treatment and final disposition of any cultural resources, sacred
sites, and human remains discovered on the site.
MM 3 Prior to beginning project construction, the Project Archaeologist shall file a pre -
grading report with the City of'1'emecula (if required) to document the proposed
methodology for grading activity observation which will be determined in
consultation with the Pechanga 'tribe. Said methodology shall include the
requirement for a qualified archaeological monitor to be present and to have the
authority to stop and redirect grading activities. In accordance with the agreement
required in MM 2, the archaeological monitor's authority to stop and redirect
grading will he exercised in consultation with the Pechanga Tribe in order to
evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources discovered on the
property. Tribal and archaeological monitors shall be allowed to monitor all
grading, excavation and.. groundbreaking activities, and shall also have the
authority to stop and redirect grading activities.
MM 4 If human remains are encountered; California Health and Safety Code Section
7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the Riverside County
Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin. Further, pursuant to
California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in
place and free from disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment and
disposition has been made. If the Riverside County Coroner determines the
remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission must
be contacted within 24 hours. The Native American Heritage Commission must
then immediately identify the "most likely descendant(s)" of receiving
notification of the discovery. The most likely descendant(s) shall then make
recommendations within 48 hours, and engage in consultations concerning the
treatment of the remains as provided in Public Resources Code 5097.98 and the
Treatment Agreement described in MM 2.
MM 5 The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including
sacred items, burial goods and all archaeological artifacts that are found on the
project area to the appropriate Tribe for proper treatment and disposition.
MM 6 All cultural materials, that are collected during the grading monitoring program
and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the project site,
with the exception of sacred items, burial goods and human remains which will be

addressed in the Treatment Agreement required in MM2 shall be tribally curated
according to the current professional repository standards by the Pechanga Tribe.
The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including title, to the
Pechanga Tribe's curation facility which meets the standards set forth in 36 CRF
Part 79 for federal repositories. All sacred sites, should they be encountered
within the project area, shall be avoided and preserved as the preferred mitigation,
if feasible.
MM 7 If inadvertent discoveries of subsurface archaeologicaUcultural resources are
discovered during grading, the Developer, the project archaeologist, and the Tribe
shall assess the significance of such resources and shall meet and confer regarding
the mitigation for such resources. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(6)
avoidance is the preferred method of preservation for archaeological resources. If
the Developer, the project archaeologist and the Tribe cannot agree on the
significance or the mitigation for such resources, these issues will be presented to
the Planning Director for decision. The Planning Director shall make the
determination based on the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act with respect to archaeological resources and shall take into account the
religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other
rights available under the law, the decision of the Planning Director shall be
appealable to the Planning Commission and /or City Council.
The Tribe reserves the right to fully participate in the environmental review process, as
well as to provide further comment on the Project's impacts to cultural resources and potential
mitigation for such impacts. Further, the Tribe reserves the right to participate in the regulatory
process and provide comment on issues pertaining to the regulatory process and Project
approval.
The Pechanga Tribe looks forward to working together with the City of Temecula in
protecting the invaluable Pechanga cultural resources found in the Project area. Please contact
me at 951 -770 -8104 or at ahoover @ pechanga - nsn.gov once you have had a chance to review
these comments so that we might address the issues concerning the mitigation language. Thank
you.
