recordation and that prior to recordation of the final map
the City and the developer enter into an agreement
specifying park site improvements at the time of
recordation, in accordance with the development standards
in effect.
ROBERT KEMBLE indicated the applicant's concurrence with

NOES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Blair, Fahey, Noagland
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that this item was brought back
to the Commission to look at TCSD working out a mitigated
park measure with the developer and not densities proposed
by the tentative map design.
The Commission questioned what action they could take,
in regards to their general concerns regarding the
residential density proposed.
JOHN CAVANAUGH advised that in order to take action in
the form of denial of the tentative tract map, the
Commission would have to make findings that the proposed
application is somehow not consistent with or deviates
from the standards of the Development Agreement as it
applies to the governing Specific Plan.
Mr. Cavanaugh added that the Commission could also
continue this item to allow staff to make findings for
denial, continue the project indefinitely or reconsider
the Commission's original motion.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF moved to reconsider his previous
motion.

Conditions No. 25, No. 26 and No. 79, seconded by
COMMISSIONER PORD.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated that although she would
support the motion, she still had concerns about the
overall lack of park land in this area; however, the
revised Tentative Map, including the proposed park site
dedication, reflects the intent of the approved Specific
Plan and Development Agreement, and cannot be changed by
the Commission.
COMMISSIONER BLAIR stated that she would not support the
motion based on the fact that the project is increasing
densities without allowing for adequate park lands.
COMMISSIONER HOAGLAND stated that he was dissatisfied
with the options left available to the Commission on
this item. He added that although he feels that staff
could not come up with valid findings for denial, the
Commission has voiced valid problems as they generally
relate to densities and small residential lot sizes when
not supported by additional park sites or recreational
amenities.

COMMISSIONER FORD requested clarification from Gary King
about the statement regarding the 7.79 acres and
discussions with the applicant on what is being proposed.
Commissioner Ford clarified that this would not be in lieu
of other park sites and amenities for this project.
GARY KING stated that previously TCSD understood they
would be receiving a 7.79 acre park site dedication within
this tract; however, the applicant is requesting TCSD to
recalculate the proposal's Quimby dedication requirements
based on reduction in residential acreage developed
subsequent to dedication of the proposed 7.79 acre park
site.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 7:58 P.M.
ROBERT KEMBLE, Robert Bien, William Frost & Associates,
28765 Single Oak Drive, Temecula, representing the
applicant, requested clarification on the actual
acreage that would be required under Quimby. Mr. Kemble
stated that they were willing to comply with the Quimby
Act.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF suggested that the applicant
might consider submitting a development plan on the
parcels so that the Commission might determine whether
the applicant is providing adequate park land dedication.
COMMISSIONER FAREY stated that there was clearly
confusion between staff and the applicant on an
understanding of what the requirement for park land
dedication would be and therefore, the project would be
impossible to approve at this juncture. COMMISSIONER FORD
added that he was confused with the project Conditions of
Approval and felt that there is a misunderstanding
between staff and the applicant. COMMISSIONER BLAIR
concurred and COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF added that staff
needed the opportunity to review full, detailed site
specific development plans before approving the proposal.

CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 8:30 P.M.
LARRY SMITH, Coleman Homes, 43180 Business Park Drive,
Temecula, representing the Temecula Homebuilders
Association, stated their concurrence with the sign

not provide specific distances from the intersection.
COMMISSIONER FORD agreed that there needs to be more
panels allowed. He stated that he felt there are
to many inconsistencies and should go back to staff
for further work.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that he felt that the
penalties were not appropriate and should be raised.

COMMISSIONER FORD questioned delineating lot 215 into
two separate lots through conditioning.
GARY THORNHILL advised that they could condition that
separation.
CHAIRMAN EOAGLAMD stated that the City would be able
to accept the 2.75 acre park site; however, deny or
accept the wet land area through dedication.

interior open spaces.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY questioned Condition No. 2 being
redundant to TCSD condition requiring land dedication.
GARY KING concurred with Commissioner Fahey and stated
that Condition No. 2 could be deleted.
GARY THORNHILL recommended deleting Condition 18, D & E,
and amend with a condition stating that the Homeowners
Association shall maintain non-arterial slopes.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated he was unclear how the City was
going to develop park land on what appeared to be the
sump area of the wet lands.
DOUG STEWART stated that staff will investigate the sump
location prior to approving the park land.
COMMISSIONER FORD suggested conditioning that applicant
will work with Engineering and TCSD to get the wet land
area into useable land.

TOM AWBREY advised that the site is to be used for truck
fueling and maintenance only. Mr. Awbrey added that there
would be a 14' high screen wall around the site as well.
COMMISSIONER BLAIR questioned why the applicant changed
from a stucco/masonry wall to the metal wall.

COMMISSION MINUTE8
SEPTEMBER 16, 1991
TOM AWBREY stated that originally they were considering
a masonry wall with a split face finish and the metal
panel above; however, how they were now proposing the all
metal, 14' screen wall as a viable design solution based
on previous use of the proposed materials and construction
type.
The Commission as a whole expressed a concern for the
proposed screen wall materials.
GARY THORNHILL stated that the Commission could condition
the applicant to have the wall match the building or,
require enhanced landscaping to screen the wall, or they
could approve a combination wall.
COMMISSIONER FAREY moved to close the public hearing at
9:30 P.M. and Adopt Negative Declaration for Plot Plan
No. 232 and Adopt Resolution PC 91-(next) approving Plot
Plan No. 232 with the modification that the wall be
stucco/masonry to match the construction of the building
as well as enhanced landscaping to screen the wall,
seconded by COMMISSIONER BLAIR.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND requested the applicant's concurrence
to the modifications.
TOM AUBREY offered that a combination wall might be more
attractive.
COMMISSIONER FORD suggested that the applicant use some
banding on the wall as well as the enhanced landscaping.
The maker of the motion and the second concurred.

reasons: grading, higher density, increased traffic flow,
contamination of the small lake area, etc. Marcia
Slavin, president of the Lakeview Homeowners
Association brought in water samples from the lake
which shows past and present water contamination.
ROBERT KEMBLE stated that the applicant came back to the
Commission after addressing issues and concerns raised by
the Commission in the January meeting; however,
consideration of alternative uses was not a concern the
applicant was requested to address. Mr. Kemble added that
the problem with the lake were not as a result of the
Acacia development up stream.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated that she had expressed
concerns at the January hearing that she feels have
not been adequately addressed and added that she
felt there was a probable inconsistency with the
future General Plan due to the proposed change in density
on a prominent ridgeling and that the requested increase
in density vs. the existing zoning of the project site
has the potential of a negative environmental impact that
cannot be mitigated.
Commissioner Fahey indicated that project Conditions of
Approval relating to drainage to the Lake Village area and
increased traffic flow on Pauba Road were inadequate to
mitigate potential project impacts, and concluded that she
could not support this project.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that this site has
been designated residential since the early 1980's.

APPLICANT:
City of Temecula
PROPOSAL:
Expand Old Town Historical District Boundary.
LOCATION:
Old Town Historic District, generally located between
Murrietta (River Street) Creek and Hwy 15, between
2nd and 6th Streets.
EXISTING ZONING:
C-1 (General Commercial)
C-P (Restricted Commercial)
M-SC (Manufacturing-Service Commercial)
R-1 (One Family Dwellings)
PROPOSED ZONING:
No Change Proposed
EXISTING LAND USES:
Commercial
Residential
Vacant
BACKGROUND:
On October 11, 1979, the Riverside County Board of
Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 578 which sets
the parameter for establishing Historic Preservation
Districts. The Temecula Historic Preservation District
(District) was then established by the Riverside
County Board of Supervisors on October 8, 1980.
The Historical District boundary was established to
coincide with the historical Temecula city boundary.
JRM~MEYERJR\CZ19.M1P I
PROPOSED BOUNDARY:
ANALYSIS:
Ordinance No. 578 provided for the establishment of
a Local Review Board (Board) to oversee preservation
activities and review development proposals within
the District. The Board serves in an advisory
capacity to the Planning Director, who has the
responsibility to issue Certificates of Historical
Appropriateness. Although specific design standards
for Old Town have not been adopted, general
guidelines encourage development to conform to a
late 1800's/early 1900's style of architecture and
building materials.
Development outside the District boundary may have
a significant impact on the character of Old Town.
With the current boundary configuration, key sites
fall outside the jurisdiction of the District. Therefore,
the City Council has directed Staff to expand the
existing boundary and initiate a process to prepare a
specific plan for Old Town. The expansion and
subsequent specific plan are intended to strengthen
the preservation effort and promote Old Town as a
significant community resource.
With direction from the City Council, staff
recommends the following boundary expansion:
North to Rancho California Road.
South to First Street/Santiago Road.
East - No change
West to include the area within the Murrietta Creek
Channel.
The existing and proposed boundaries are shown in
Exhibit I.
As mentioned above, development outside the
District boundary may have a significant impact on
the character of Old Town. The expansion of the
Old Town Historic District will provide a more
comprehensive review of development proposals that
relate to the original Old Town.
JRM\MEYERJR~CZ19.M1P 2
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
The purpose of expanding northerly to Rancho
California Road is to create an Old Town gateway
statement at a freeway interchange, by providing
better signage and identification. It will also allow
for review of any major remodels of the existing
commercial development. The expansion to the
south will provide for a better delineation or "break
point" of the district boundary.
The Murrietta Creek provides a logical boundary and
buffer for Old Town. By including the area within
the channel within the District any future
improvements within the channel will be subject to
the Old Town guidelines.
This project has been determined to be a Statutory
Exemption per Section 15262 of CEQA. An
Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative
Declaration will be prepared as part of the specific
plan.
The subject item is recommended for approval
subject to the following findings:
The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with
the preparation of the general plan.
The proposed boundary expansion will not
have a significant adverse effect on the
environment, as determined in the Initial Study
for this project.
There is a reasonable probability that the
boundary expansion will be consistent with
the future General Plan.
The proposed boundary expansion will likely
be consistent with the goals, policies and
action programs which will be contained in the
General Plan when it is ultimately adopted.
The area of the proposed boundary expansion
is suitable to accommodate all the land uses
currently permitted in the zoning district.

SUBJECT: Change of Zone No. 17 and First Extension of

Change of Zone No. 17 and First Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125
were presented before the Planning Commission on July 15, 1991. Both applications were
unanimously motioned to be continued to the following Planning Commission meeting in order for
both Staff and applicant to address slopes, H.O.A., and acceptability of the proposed park site for
the subject project.
In response to the Commission's direction to reduce the slopes on the subject tract map, the
applicant feels that a re-design of the project in order to reduce slopes would be an extreme
hardship, due to the tentative and final map approvals that have been obtained over the past three
years at a cost of approximately $728,000.00 for consultants and agency fees alone.
The Temecula Community Services District (TCSD) has reviewed the subject tract and has
concluded that interior slopes within Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125 shall be maintained
by an established H.O.A. However, the exterior slopes may be dedicated to the City of Temecula
Community Services District (TCSD) by way of an irrevocable offer of dedication for maintenance.
In either case, the slopes proposed shall comply with existing standards as approved by the TCSD.
The proposed tract consists of 212 single family residential homes. The parkland dedication
requirement (Quimby) is 2.75 acres or payment of the equivalent fair market value plus 20% for
off-site improvements. The proposed tract has approximately 18 acres of open space to the east
of the project and is proposing to improve 2.75 acres for active park use. Therefore, the applicant
meets the required parkland dedication. The remaining open space will retain its natural condition
and will be maintained by the TCSD.

However, due to an oversight by the County, the
Zone Change was acted upon on May 29, 1990,
after the official incorporation date of the City of
Temecula (December 1, 1989). Therefore, the Zone
Change was never officially adopted. The applicant
submitted a new application, Change of Zone No.
17, to the City of Temecula Planning Department on
May 21, 1991.
First Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 23125 was submitted to the City of
Temecula on July 6, 1990 and was processed
through Pre-DRC (Development Review Committee)
at which time the zone change issue was identified.
The Extension was then put on hold until the Zone
Change could be resolved. Therefore, both Change
of Zone No. 17 and First Extension of Time for
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125 are being
processed concurrently.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Change of Zone No. 17
The applicant is proposing to change the zone on
88.4 acres of land situated at the northeast corner of
De Portola Road and Butterfield Stage Road, which
is identical to the original Zone Change No. 5122.
The land use breakdown is as follows:
R-l, One-Family Dwellings - 61.61 acres.
This zoning permits single family dwellings.
R-5, Open Area Combining Zone Residential
Developments - 22 acres. This zone allows
for the development of parkland uses.
The proposed zoning will be consistent with projects
approved in the area such as the Crowne Hill project
(Change of Zone No. 4814, Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 23143) located immediately adjacent to the
north. This project was approved by the Board of
Supervisors on August 16, 1988, and will ultimately
create 1,092 R-1 residential lots, 26 R-A-2 1/2 lots
and 11 open space lots for parks, a school, and open
area. The Paloma Del Sol Plan (SP 219) is located
directly to the west of the project site, across
Butterfield Stage Road. This specific plan covers
1,389 acres and will allow up to a maximum of
5,611 dwelling units. The area of this specific plan
nearest to the proposed project site calls for Medium
density residential, 2-5 dwelling units per acre.
First Extension of Time for
Vesting Tentative Tract MaD No. 23125
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125 proposes to
subdivide the subject 88.4 acre site into a residential
development consisting of 212 residential lots and 3
open space lots, with an overall density of 2.3 units
per acre. The proposed development has been
designed in accordance with the standards of the R-
1 zone (One-Family Dwellings).
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 8
ANALYSIS:
The project site is located at the Northeast corner of
De Portola Road and Butterfield Stage Road. At
present, the site is vacant.
ChanQe of Zone No. 17
The subject site is currently zoned R-A-2 1/2
(Residential Agricultural, 2 1/2 Acres Minimum) and
designated 2-4 DU/AC by the SWAP (Southwest
Area Community Plan) Map. Surrounding properties
adjacent to the subject site are designated by SWAP
as being 2-4 DU/AC, Commercial and Specific Plan
uses. Currently, there is an approved specific plan
(Paloma Del Sol) situated to the west, and a 1,092
residential subdivision (VTM 23143) directly to the
north of the subject site, which consists of similar
developments and densities being proposed by the
applicant.
The applicant is proposing to zone the areas adjacent
to Butterfield Stage Road and De Portola Road R-5 in
order to provide for adequate open space between
the proposed roads and residential development.
The interior of the subject site is entirely zoned R-1.
In addition, Staff has reviewed the proposed zoning
for the subject site and has found it to be acceptable
due to the proposed density being consistent with
the SWAP and approved projects adjacent to the
subject site.
First Extension of Time
Vesting Tentative Tract MaD No. 23125
Design Considerations
The proposed subdivision has been designed in
accordance with the standards of the R-1 (One-
Family Dwellings) zone and Ordinance Nos. 348 and
460. The main access to the project is provided by
De Portola Road.
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 9
FUTURE GENERAL PLAN
AND SWAP CONSISTENCY:
Ooen Space/Slopes
The Temecula Community Services District (TCSD)
has reviewed that subject tract and has concluded
that Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125 shall be
maintained by an established H.O.A. However, the
H.O.A. may, at a later date, elect to have the slopes
dedicated to the City of Temecula, Community
Services District (TCSD) by way of an irrevocable
offer of dedication for maintenance. In either case
the slopes proposed shall comply with existing
standards as approved by the TCSD.
Density
The proposed subdivision (Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 23125) has a density of 2.3 DU/AC. The
Southwest Area Community Plan (SWAP) calls for 2-
4 DU/AC, thus, meeting the SWAP residential
Density requirement.
Quimby Act
The proposed tract consists of 212 single family
residential homes, The parkland dedication
requirement (Quimby) is 2.75 acres or payment of
the equivalent fair market value plus 20% for off-site
improvements. The proposed tract has identified a
proposed 2 acre park. With the required parkland
dedication of 2.75 acres, the 2 acre park has a
shortage of .75 acres. The applicant has agreed to
increase the park to 2.75 acres in lieu of parkland
fees.
The proposed Change of Zone and density of 2.3
units per acre is consistent with the Southwest Area
Community Plan designation of 2-4 units per acre.
In addition, Staff finds it probable that this project
will be consistent with the new General Plan when
it is adopted.
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 10
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
In accordance with the procedures of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Environmental
Impact Report No. 263 was prepared in connection
with the proposed project. All significant effect of
the project on the environment and measures
necessary to avoid or substantially lessen such effect
was evaluated in accordance with the Riverside
County Rules to implement CEQA.
Certification of Environmental Impact Report No.
263, was approved by the Riverside Board of
Supervisors on October 25, 1988.
Change of Zone No. 17
The proposed zone change will not have a
significant adverse effect on the environment,
as determined in the Environmental Impact
Report for this project.
There is a reasonable probability that the zone
change from R-A-2 1/2 to R-1 and R-5 will be
consistent with the future General Plan.
Further, densities and uses proposed are
similar to existing densities and uses in the
vicinity of the project site.
There is not a reasonable probability of
substantial detriment to, or interference with,
the future and adopted General Plan, if the
proposed use or action is ultimately
inconsistent with the plan due to the fact that
the proposal is consistent with surrounding
land uses.
The proposed change in district classification
is reasonable and beneficial at this time as it
is a logical expansion of residential uses which
exist adjacent to, and in the vicinity of, the
project site.
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 11
The proposed change in district classification
will likely be consistent with the goals,
policies and action programs which will be
contained in the General Plan when it is
ultimately adopted. The density and land use
proposed are consistent with the Southwest
Area Plan and approved and proposed
adjacent specific plans.
The site of the proposed change in district
classification is suitable to accommodate all
the land uses currently permitted in the
proposed zoning district as it is of adequate
size and shape for the proposed residential
use. Possible land use conflicts are not likely
to arise as the project proposes residential
uses similar to those existing in the general
vicinity of the subject site.
Adequate access exists for the proposed
residential land use from Butterfield Stage
Road and De Portola Road. Additional internal
access and required road improvements to
proposed lots will be designed and
constructed in conformance with Riverside
County standards.
Said findings are supported by analysis,
minutes, maps, exhibits, and environmental
documents associated with this application
and herein incorporated by reference.
First Extension of Time for
Vesting Tentative Tract MaD No, 23125
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the City's
future General Plan, which will be completed
in a reasonable time and in accordance with
State law, due to the fact that the project is
consistent with existing site development
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 12
standards in that it proposes articulated
design features and site amenities
commensurate with existing and anticipated
residential development standards.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
and adopted general plan, if the proposed use
or action is ultimately inconsistent with the
plan, due to the fact that the project is in
conformance with existing and anticipated
land use and design guidelines standards.
The proposed use or action complies with
state planning and zoning laws, due to the
fact that the proposed use conforms with
those uses listed as "allowed" within the
project site's existing land use designation.
'he site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configuration, circulation
patterns, access, and density, due to the fact
that; adequate area is provided for all
proposed residential structures; adequate
landscaping is provided along the project's
public and private frontages; and the internal
circulation plan should not create traffic
conflicts as design provisions are in
conformance with adopted City standards.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the public health or
welfare, due to the fact that the conditions
stated in the approval are based on mitigation
measures necessary to reduce or eliminate
potential adverse impacts of the project.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23125 is
compatible with surrounding land uses. The
harmony in scale, bulk, height, density and
coverage creates a compatible physical
relationship with adjoining properties, due to
the fact that the proposal is similar in
S\STAFFRPT\23125A.VTM 13
10.
compatibility with surrounding land uses; and
adequate area and design features provide for
siting of proposed development in terms of
landscaping and internal traffic circulation.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property because it does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area, due to the
fact that the proposed project is consistent
with the current zoning of the subject site,
and also consistent with the adopted
Southwest Area Community Plan (SWAP)
designation.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the built or natural
environment as determined in the Negative
Declaration adopted by the County for the
project, due to the fact that impact mitigation
is realized by conformance with the project's
Conditions of Approval.
The project has acceptable access to a
dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and
useable by, vehicular traffic, due to the fact
that the project currently proposes two
independent access points from De Portola
Road which has been determined to be
adequate by the City Engineer.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed projects, due to
the fact that this is clearly represented in the
site plan and the project analysis.

RE: File Number 91-201-MJ
Gentlemen:
This is in reply to your application dated June 29, 1991 for
a Department of the Army Permit to place 20,000 c.y. of fill
material in 0.56 acre of waters of the United States, of which
0.15 acre of wetland habitat. As mitigation, 0.3 acre of wetland
habitat will be created on-site. The project is located in the
streambed of an unnamed tributary of Temecula Creek,
approximately 6000' west-northwest of State Highway 79 bridge
crossing over Temecula Creek, in the city and county of
Riverside, California.
Regulations for our permit program, published in the Federal
Register, include Part 330 - Nationwide Permits (see the
enclosure). The Corps of Engineers has determined that your
proposed activity complies with the terms and conditions of the
nationwide permit at Part 330.5(a)(26) for discharges of dredged
or fill material into waters of the United States, including
wetlands, that are located above the headwaters or are isolated
waters and which would cause loss or substantial adverse
modification of less than one acre of such waters.
As long as you comply with the nationwide permit conditions
described in Part 330.5(b) and submit mitigation site reports to
the Corps every year for the next three years after mitigation
has been completed, an individual permit is not required. This
letter of verification is valid until the nationwide permit is
modified, reissued, or revoked. All the nationwide permits are
scheduled to be modified, reissued or revoked prior to 13 January
1992. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to
the nationwide permits. We will issue a public notice announcing
the changes when they occur. Furthermore, if you commence or are
under contract to commence this activity before the date the
nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve
months from the date of the modification or revocation to
-2-
complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of
this nationwide permit.
A nationwide permit does not grant any property rights or
exclusive privileges. Also, it does not authorize any injury to
the property or rights of others or authorize interference with
any existing or proposed Federal project. Furthermore, it does
not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, state, or local
authorizations required by law.
If you have any questions please contact Mike Jewel1 of my
staff at (213) 894-5606.
Sincerely,
Diane K. Node ~ o f'

The staff report was presented by Steve Jiannino.
Commissioner Chiniaeff questioned the maximum height of the slopes proposed and
asked who would have maintenance responsibility for these slopes. Staff advised that
the slopes range from 30 to 60 feet and that ultimate maintenance responsibility has
not been determined.
Commissioner Ford expressed concern with the lack of information regarding the parks
dedications proposed.
Chairman Hoagland opened the public hearing at 6:22 PM.
Dave James, representing Ranpac Engineering, 24727 Enterprise Circle West,
representing the applicant stated that the applicant agrees with the conditions of
approval and advised that the map is conditioned to allow for the Quimby fees to be
negotiated at the time the design development guidelines are addressed prior to
recordation of the final map.
Commissioner Chiniaeff again outlined his concerns regarding the maintenance of the
slopes which are shown to be on private residential parcels. Planning Director Thornhill
suggested that a homeowners association be required for this purpose.
Mike Gray, Riverside County Fire Department, stated that the County's slope
maintenance program is very difficult to administer where individual private parcels are
involved. He advised that in some instances the problems have been unsolvable.

In response to a question from Commissioner Fahey, Assistant City Attorney John
Cevanaugh advised that if a homeowners association is in place and is given the
responsibility to properly maintain the slopes, the association should require that an
easement be granted which allows them access to the private property.
It was moved by Commissioner Chiniaeff, seconded by Commiasioner Blair to continue
the public hearing on this matter to the meeting of August 19, 1991, with direction
given to staff to 1 ) work with the developer on the design with the goal of reducing
the severe slopes, 2) to condition the project to require a homeowners association, and

and the required supplemental material in order to
address the Pre-DRC's concerns.
After dicussing the project with the staff, the
applicant decided to withdraw the application for
Change of Zone No. 5736; reduce the number of
residential lots from 37 to 34; provide a minimum lot
size of 21,780 square feet; eliminate an interior loop
street design; and reduce the amount of grading.
On July 18, 1991, Tentative Tract Map No. 25892
was reviewed by the Formal Development Review
Committee; and, it was determined that the project,
as designed, can be adequately conditioned to
mitigate the DRC's concerns. The DRC has
forwarded a recommendation of approval subject to
conditions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
As noted above, Tentative Tract Map No. 25892
proposes to subdivide the subject 20 acre parcel into
34 single family residential lots. The proposed
subdivision has been designed in accordance with
the standards of the R-R (Rural Residential - 20,000
square foot minimum) zone, as well as Ordinance
Nos. 348 and 460.
ANALYSIS:
Traffic Imoacts
The Transportation Engineering Staff has reviewed
this project and has determined that the proposed
project will have a minimal impact to the existing
road system and there will be no adverse unmitigable
significant traffic impacts resulting from the
development of this proposed project.
S\STAFFRPT\25892,TTM 3
Land Use and Zoning
The subject site is currently vacant. Surrounding
land uses include single family residential homes to
the west and south (1/2 and 1 acre lots); to the
north is Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 25320,
which is proposing 7,200 square foot minimum lot
sizes; and to the east is the Paloma Del Sol Specific
Plan area.
Access and Circulation
Pauba Road will be improved along the subject site
with a half width street. Access from Pauba Road
will be provided by Streets "A" and "B", which have
a sixty (60') foot right-of-way; and are cul-de-sac
streets. The circulation design has been approved by
both the Traffic Engineering Department and the
Riverside County Fire Department.
Grading and Landform Alteration
The project site is located within a fairly prominent
natural hillside area of Temecula. However, the
mass grading effort was designed to adhere to the
gross natural topography of the site in its original
condition. While substantial grading and
recontouring of this site, which includes 171,898
cubic yards of excavation and 171,532 cubic yards
of fill will occur in the immediate area, the overall
plan is intended to promote preservation of site
topography. It should be noted that a recommended
condition of approval has been included to require
that all slopes over five (5') feet in height shall be
landscaped immediately upon the completion of
grading and shall be maintained by the homeowner's
association.
S\STAFFRPT\25892 .TTM 4
Slopes
Planting shall commence as soon as slopes are
completed on any portion of the site and shall
provide for rapid short term coverage of the slope as
well as long-term establishment cover per City of
Temecula standards.
Cut slopes equal to or greater than five (5') feet in
vertical height and fill slopes equal to or greater than
three (3') feet in vertical height will be planted with
a ground cover to provide stability and protect the
slope from erosion. Slopes exceeding fifteen (15')
feet in vertical height will be planted with shrubs,
spaced not more than ten (10') feet on center or
trees spaced not to exceed twenty (20') feet on
center or a combination of shrubs and trees at
equivalent spacings, in addition to the ground cover.
Special consideration will be given to the slopes
along the southern side of the tract where a variety
of plant types and sizes will be provided for visual
and aesthetic purposes.
The plants selected and planting methods employed
shall be suitable for the soil and climatic conditions.
All areas required to be landscaped shall be planted
with turf, ground cover, shrub or tree materials
selected from the plant palette contained in the
guidelines.
Drainaae
The existing surface run-off currently flows towards
the south. The proposed drainage plan has been
designed to maintain the existing flows through the
use of catch basins and terrace drains.
S\STAFFRPT\25892 .TTM 5
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
The proposed project density of is consistent
with the SWAP Land Use Designation of 2-5
DU/AC. In addition, Staff finds it probable
that this project will be consistent with the
new General Plan when it is adopted since the
proposed subdivision is consistent with the
existing zoning and surrounding
developments.
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION: An Initial Study was performed for this project which
determined that although the proposed project could have
a significant effect on the environment, no significant
impact would result to the natural or built environment in
the City because the mitigation measures described in the
Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and
a Negative Declaration has been recommended for
adoption.
FINDINGS: 1.
The proposed Tract Map will not have a
significant negative impact on the
environment, as determined in the Initial Study
performed for the project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the General
Plan being prepared at this time, due to the
fact that the project is consistent with the
surrounding residential developments.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with, the future
adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan, due to
the fact that the project is consistent with
surrounding developments.
The proposed use complies with State
planning and zoning law, due to the fact that
the project conforms to the current zoning for
the site and to Ordinance No. 460, Schedule
A.
S\STAFFRPT\25892.TTM 6
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configurations, access, and
density, due to the fact that the project has
access to public roads and the subdivision has
been designed to the standards of the R-R
(Rural Residential) zone.
The design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or
substantially and unavoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat as determined in the
initial study.
The design of the subdivision is consistent
with the State Map Act in regard to future
passive energy control opportunities due to
the fact that the lots are large enough to
provide sufficient southern exposure.
All lots have acceptable access to existing and
proposed dedicated rights-of-way which are
open to, and are useable by, vehicular traffic,
access is provided from Pauba Road.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed project as
conditioned.
10.
The lawful conditions stated in the project's
Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary
to protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
11.
Said findings are supported by minutes, maps,
exhibits, and environmental documents
associated with these applications and herein
incorporated by reference.

No. The project site will be graded as part of a mass grading effort.
There will be substantial grading for this project, which includes
171,898 cubic yards of excavation and 171,532 cubic yards of fill.
However, a conceptual mass grading plan for the project was reviewed
and approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's standards and the Conditions of Approval include mitigation
measures in regards to grading. Therefore, the proposed project will not
create an unstable earth condition or change the geologic substructure.
Yes. The proposed development disrupts the soil profile and results in
soil displacement, compaction, and overcovering. However, a slope
stability report was prepared for this project, in which specific
recommendation were made in order to develop the project. Therefore,
this impact is not considered significant, due to the fact that the
Conditions of Approval include mitigation measures in regards to all
grading.
Yes. The project site is located within a fairly prominent natural hillside
of Temecula. However, the mass grading effort was designed to adhere
to the gross natural topography of the site in its original condition. While
substantial grading and recontouringofthis site, which includes 171,898
c.y. of excavation and 171,532 c.y. of fill, will occur in the immediate
area, the overall plan is intended to promote preservation of site
topography. Therefore, this impact is not considered significant.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted
and the proposed drainage facilities are constructed. The wind erosion
impact is considered significant but will be mitigated through the use of
watering trucks and erosion control planting of disturbed areas after
grading. After the project is completed, water will be channeled to
drainage easements. Appropriate drainage control devices will have to
be approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's standards and the Conditions of Approval. Therefore, this
impact is not considered to be significant, due to the fact that
appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the project.
No. The project site is not adjacent to any creek or stream bed.
Therefore, a significant impact will not occur.

Maybe. The subject site is not located within a subsidence or
liquefaction zone and is not subject to liquefaction and subsidence by the
Riverside County General Plan. However, to mitigate any potential
hazards, a geological report will be prepared prior to any construction of
the property. The report will include mitigation measures. Therefore,
this impact is not considered to be significant.
Maybe. The proposed project consisting of 34 residential units will
generate an increase in vehicle trips to the site. The increased vehicle
trips will increase the carbon monoxide emissions and particulates in the
area. However, since the ambient air quality in the project vicinity is
currently very good due to the local wind patterns, this potential impact
is not considered significant. The proposed project will not by itself
deteriorate the local area's or regional air quality, but will add to the
cumulative impact on air quality due to the substantial growth in the
area.
No. The proposed project will not create any objectionable odors or alter
the area's climate.
No. The proposed project will not impact any body of water.
Yes. The proposed project will increase the amount of impermeable
surfaces on the site and the existing drainage pattern will be altered.
However, water will be channeled to drainage easements and streets
through drainage facilities and control devices which will have to be
approved by the City Engineer and designed in accordance with
Temecula's Standards and the Conditions of Approval. Therefore, this
impact is not considered to be significant since appropriate mitigation
measures have been implemented with the project.
No. Flood waters will continue to be directed to the streets and flood
channels. However, in order to mitigate the downstream impacts
brought about by runoff and the proposed drainage facilities, the
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (the
District) has indicated that the project will be required to pay a flood

a Condition of Approval. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be
significant since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented
with the project. Drainage plans for the site will have to meet the
requirements of the City's Engineer.
Yes. During construction, the proposed project will increase turbidity in
local surface waters. This impact is temporary and is not considered
significant. After the project is completed, water will be channeled to
drainage easements and streets, which will have to be approved by the
City Engineer. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant
since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the
project.
No. The proposed project will not alter the rate of flow of ground water.
No. Although the proposed project will increase the amount of
impermeable surfaces on the site, the addition of irrigation for the
landscape areas will help to off-set any loss of water absorbed into the
ground. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant.
No. The proposed project will not significantly affect the public water
supply.
Maybe. Conditions of Approval are included for this project which
require proper design and installation of drainage conveyance devices.
Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant since
appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the project.
Yes. The proposed project involves a mass grading of the subject site
which will eliminate all of the existing native plants; and the proposal
includes landscaping and erosion control which will be designed to City
standards. Therefore, this impact is not considered to be significant
since appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented with the
project.
No. No sensitive vegetational associations or species were identified on-
site.
No. No agricultural production occurred on-site.

Wildlife
No.
Maybe.
A survey for Stephen's Kangaroo Rat prepared for this
project analyzed biologic resources on-site. In that no
individuals of the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat were found there
is no occupied habitat within the bounds of the tract map.
Implementation of the tract as proposed will not result in a
taking nor would it result in any adverse effect on the
species or on the species' habitat. In that surrounding
lands to the north, south, east and west have previously
been developed at urban levels of use or are presently being
developed at such levels of use, preservation of this site as
a reserve is inappropriate. In addition, the site is now
isolated from all other known colonies by impassable
residential and other barriers and reinvasion of the site is
virtually impossible. Implementation of the project as
proposed will not have a significant effect and no mitigation
other than payment of fees under the Stephen's Kangaroo
Rat Fee Ordinance is required.
Noise
6.a-b.
No. A noise assessment was prepared for this project.
Analysis indicates that the project site is exposed to significant levels of
noise as a result of traffic on Pauba and Margarita Roads. However, it
is concluded that the project design, as recommended herein, will
comply with the interior noise exposure standard placed on residential
construction by the County of Riverside and the State's noise insulation
standards.
It is further recommended that the final engineering design of the project
be reviewed by a recognized acoustical engineer to ensure compliance
with the County's noise standards.
Light and Glare
Yes. However, the project has been conditioned to comply with
applicable lighting standards. Therefore, this impact is not considered
to be significant since appropriate mitigation measures have been
implemented with the project.

No. The proposed project will not promote a risk of explosion or release
hazardous substances nor will it interfere with emergency response plan
or an emergency evaluation plan.
Population

Yes. Although the project proposes to increase the density to 102 lots,
the proposed project is consistent with the City Land Use Designation
which allows a maximum of 283 lots (according to SWAP). Therefore,
this impact is not considered to be significant.
Housing

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.

I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

Dear Ms. Ubnoski:
I'm of the understanding that you are recently in charge (on behalf
of the City) of processing a Tentative Tract Map on which I would
like to comment. The subject property is known as proposed
Tentative Tract 25892 (approximately 20 acres fronting Pauba Road;
Southwest corner of Pauba and Margarita Roads).
My family and I own two homes and eight parcels of property in the
immediate vicinity comprising approximately 37 acres of land. We
personally constructed our two homes of approximately 4,000 square
feet each with the finest of architecture and material in mind.
These homes are presently situated on lots approved for the same
density (1/2 acre) at the Tentative Tract Map stage that Mr.
Pearson's Tentative Tract Map 25892 proposes.
I have reviewed Map 25892 and find it to be well planned in terms
of lotting layout, street configuration and surrounding land uses.
This project certainly provides a compatible "upper-end" transition
between Santiago Rancho and Los Ranchitos to the South and the
Paloma Del Sol project and the school facilities to the North. I
certainly envision nice custom homes on lots not too large to
maintain, occupied with families eager to locate in the center of
our fine community.
In short, I strongly sup ort the adoption of Tentative Tract Map
25892 a 111 be in attendan on September 16, 1991 at 6:00 p.m.
to v alize the same.

Dear Ms. Ubnoske:
Please allow me to respond to the notice recently sent to me
regarding proposed Tentative Tract Map # 25892.
I presently own a one acre parcel immediately to the south of the
subject property. My current intentions are to construct my
personal residence approximately 4 - 5,000 square feet in size.
Behind my property is Santiago Ranches with its large custom homes.
I perceive this proposed development as being consistent with not
only the Swap Map, but also with the existing development in our
area. It is important to the homeowners in our community to
maintain our exclusivity.
This project should offer its own community environment because of
its size, number of lots and location. Mr. Pearson's project
provides an appropriate transition between the activities at
Margarita and Pauba Roads and my immediate area.
Finally, Mr. Pearson's project receives my full support because of
its well-planned community of 1/2 acre lots. I believe this will
be an asset to our r~g!~n be~,,~e of the rural setting for large
custom homes it provides while allowing for parcel sizes a
homeowner can reasonably be expected to fully maintain.
Yours truly,

On January 15, 1991, the City Council approved
Parcel Map No. 25059 and the associated Plot Plan
No. 34. Both projects were conditioned for a traffic
signal at the intersection of Rancho California Road
and Ridge Park Drive. The applicant contends that
the signal requirement is inappropriate for the Parcel
Map due to the fact that the map does not cause a
traffic impact. The development of the office
building, Plot Plan No. 34, is what will cause the
traffic impact and result in the necessity for a traffic
signal.
The applicant is requesting deletion of Engineering
Condition Numbers 37 through 43 for Parcel Map
No. 25059 regarding a traffic signal at the
intersection of Rancho California Road and Ridge
Park Drive, including street striping.
According to Engineering Staff, it is a standard
practice to require bonding and improvement plans
when map recordation occurs. Since improvements
are required with the parcel map, design and bonding
for the improvements would be appropriate upon
recordation of the map. With the establishment of
three small parcels and one large parcel, the need for
a bond is increased to guarantee that the required
street and traffic improvements are constructed and
installed in a timely manner.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the
application of Minor Change No. 1 for Parcel Map
No. 25029 regarding the traffic signal at the
intersection of Rancho California Road and Ridge
Park Drive, including street striping
conditions, Engineering Staff recommends that
modification and deletion of
S\STAFFRPT\25059.PM 2
Conditions of Approval Nos. 37 through 43 for
Parcel Map No. 25059 be made in lieu of the
applicant's proposal to delete Conditions of Approval
Nos. 37 through 43.
Attached are modified conditions of approval per the
Engineering Department (see attachment I). Planning
Staff concurs with the Engineering Department
recommendation.

Plot Plan No. 239 was submitted to the City of
Temecula Planning Department on June 17, 1991.
The project, as originally proposed, conformed
substantially with applicable design standards and
zoning ordinances. Review, comment and concerns
STAFFF~PT\239PP 2
regarding the proposal focused primarily on
determination of traffic impact mitigation necessary
to support the project. Further, as the subject site
consists of 13 separate lots, or portions thereof, the
applicant is also required to process a parcel map to
effect a "Reversion to Acreage" in order to effect the
project as configured. Both of the aforementioned
concerns are addressed in the following project
analysis.
ANALYSIS:
Land Use and Architectural ComDatibilitv
The proposed use is identified as one of those
permitted, subject to plot plan approval, under the
subject site's current zoning designation of
Manufacturing-Service Commercial (M-SC)
(Reference Exhibit B). Adjacent properties are
currently vacant, but will likely be developed with
similar commercial/industrial projects based on recent
development patterns within the City. Project
materials and design elements proposed by the
applicant are considered compatible with the design
guidelines currently observed by the City. As such,
the project is considered compatible with applicable
City development standards and ordinances affecting
the proposal site and neighboring properties, as well
as probable future development of surrounding
parcels.
LandscaDinQ
Appropriately, on-site planting and irrigation schemes
are in keeping with City policies regarding water
conservation and use of drought-tolerant vegetative
species. The project site also includes a
"Demonstration Garden", evidencing the Water
District's commitment to regional water-
conservation; employing drought tolerant species in
locally appropriate applications.
Site Access
The site is accessible by recently improved rights of
way for Avenida De Ventas and Winchester Road
STAFFRPT\239,PP 3
extensions. Improvements for these rights of way
have been approved by the City of Temecula in
conjunction with the underlying Parcel Map 21383.
Primary project site ingress and egress for employees
and visitors is provided by 2, two-way commercial-
width drives accessing Winchester Road at the
southwesterly corner of the project site, as indicated
on the project site plan (Reference Exhibit D).
Access to dedicated employee parking areas, is card-
controlled via a secondary internal entrance point
also indicated on Exhibit D.
District maintenance vehicle access is provided via 3
separate commercial width drives leading into the
district vehicle storage yard as shown on the project
site plan; one drive fronts Winchester Road, while
two are proposed on the Avenida De Ventas
frontage. Ingress/egress at these points is controlled
by rolling gates, also indicated on the project site
plan.
Traffic Imoacts
At the request of the Public Works Department, the
applicant submitted a focused traffic analysis based
upon the original traffic study prepared by the
subdivider. Project related traffic impacts, as
documented by the traffic study submitted by the
applicant, are mitigated by signalization and public
facilities fees, specified in the attached Conditions of
Approval. (Reference also Attachment No. 5 - "Fee
Checklist". )
Parking and On-Site Circulation
The structure, as designed, is user-specific, with
parking facilities designed to support administrative
and maintenance functions of the Rancho California
Water District. Employee/visitor parking exceeds the
minimum of 270 spaces required by ordinance; 287
are provided. Parking for district vehicles is
proposed at 250 spaces based on current
requirements, and allowing for programmed
STAFFRPT\239.PP 4
expansion of services support activities per R.C.W.D.
specifications.
As conditioned, on-site circulation patterns and drive
aisle designs are considered adequate to support the
project.
Gradina and Drainaqe
The existing site is essentially level, having been
rough graded in accordance with grading plans for
the underlying Parcel Map No. 21383.
Toxic/Hazardous Materials Use & Storage
The applicant proposes on-site temporary holding of
used vehicle lubricants employing a reclaimed oil
system. The system will consist of an above grade
tank covered with a concrete envelope. This tank
will be periodically drained by a licensed contractor,
and final disposition of used oil and related by
products will be the contractor's responsibility.
Location of the proposed reclaimed oil storage tank
is indicated on the project site plan (Reference
Exhibit D).
Plans for temporary holding and recycling of used
petroleum products have been reviewed and
approved by the County Fire and Health
Departments, as mitigated by the attached project
Conditions of Approval.
Uniform Building Code and State MaD Act Comoliance
Pursuant to section 504 of the Uniform Building
Code (UBC), the applicant is required to eliminate the
property lines currently subdividing the project site.
In summary, the referenced UBC section prohibits
single structures from crossing property lines as is
currently proposed by the applicant (Reference
Exhibit D.1 .) The formal process to accomplish this
("Reversion to Acreage", per Chapter 6 of the State
Map Act) entails redescription of the property and
recordation of a new map reflecting the project site
STAFFRPT\239,PP 5
EXISTING ZONING,
FUTURE GENERAL PLAN
AND SWAP CONSISTENCY:
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
as a single parcel. Recordation of this map is
conditioned to issuance of Building Permits
(Reference Condition of Approval No. 39.)
The project site as currently indicated also reflects a
lot line adjustment along the proposal's westerly
boundary. Existing and adjusted property lines are
indicated in Exhibit H. Lot Line Adjustment No. 21
filed independently by Johnson + Johnson, the
project site owner, will effect the adjusted property
lines as proposed by Plot Plan No. 239.
Approval of LLA No. 21 is also required prior to
issuance of Building Permits (Reference Condition
No. 38.)
The project, as conditioned, conforms with existing
zoning and subdivision ordinances affecting the
subject property, and is compatible with Southwest
Area Plan (SWAP) land use recommendations for the
site (Reference Exhibit C). As discussed previously,
the proposal is also compatible with existing and
anticipated development in its immediate vicinity.
As such, Plot Plan No. 239 will likely be consistent
with the City's General Plan recommendations for
the property in question, upon the Plan's final
adoption.
Pursuant to applicable portions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial
Environmental Assessment was prepared for Plot
Plan No, 239. Based on findings contained in that
assessment, it was determined the project in
question will not have a significant impact on the
built or natural environment; a Negative Declaration
of potential environmental impacts is recommended
for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that Plot Plan
No. 239 will be consistent with the City's
future General Plan, which will be completed
in a reasonable time and in accordance with
STAFFRPT\239,PP 6
State law. The project, as conditioned,
conforms with existing applicable city zoning
ordinances and development standards.
Further, the proposal is characteristic of
similar development approved by the City to
date and that anticipated in it's vicinity based
on current development trends.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with the City's
future General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the Plan. The
project is compatible with existing
development standards which will likely be
included in the City's future General Plan.
Substantial inconsistency is unlikely.
The proposed use or action as conditioned
complies with State planning and zoning laws.
Reference local Ordinances No. 348,460; and
California Governmental Code Sections
65000-66009 (Planning and Zoning Law).
As conditioned, the site is suitable to
accommodate the proposed land use in terms
of the size and shape of the lot configuration,
circulation patterns, access, and intensity of
use. A reversion to acreage and lot line
adjustment affecting underlying parcels are
required prior to issuance of building permits.
Adequate site circulation, parking, and
landscaping are provided, as well as sufficient
area to appropriately construct the proposed
structures (Reference Exhibits D and E.)
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the public health or
welfare. Reference the proposal's Initial
Environmental Assessment, (Attachment No.
3), and project Conditions of Approval
(Attachment No. 2).
6. The proposal will not have an adverse effect
STAFFRPT\239,PP 7
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property. It does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area. As
conditioned, the project conforms with
applicable land use and development
regulations, and reflects design elements
currently existing within the City.
The project has acceptable access to
dedicated rights-of-way which are open to,
and useable by, vehicular traffic. The proiect
draws access from Winchester Road and
Avertida de Ventas, improved dedicated City
rights-of-way. Project access, as designed
and conditioned, conforms with applicable
City Engineering standards and ordinances.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the built or natural
environment as determined in the Initial Study
performed for this project. Reference the
attached Initial Environmental Study and
Conditions of Approval for Plot Plan No. 239.
Said findings are supported by minutes, maps,
exhibits and environmental documents
associated with this application and herein
incorporated by reference. Supporting
documentation is attached.

Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant.)
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

No. Construction is not proposed at depths sufficient to adversely affect
geologic substructures of the site. Similarly significant grading/fill
activities are not proposed - no significant impacts.
Yes. Compaction and overcovering of soil is necessary to implement the
proposal. The relatively nominal scale of this project does not indicate
likelihood of significant impacts on regional topography or soil
characteristics.
No. Reference Items 1 .a and 1 .b. The subject site is essentially level at
present. Further, fill activities of significance are not proposed.
N0. No unique geologic or topographic features currently exist on the
subject site.
No. Nominal alterations in regional surface erosion patterns can be
expected if this project is eventually realized. Proposed additional on-site
structures and paving will likely reduce erosion at the project site;
resulting in additional off-site drainage discharge volumes. Impacts on
regional drainage characteristics are insignificant as mitigated by project
specific drainage conveyances. (Reference City of Temecula Engineering
Department Conditions of Approval.)
No. Construction is not proposed that would logically affect distant
beach sands. Neither should the project produce deposition/erosion
potentially modifying stream channels or lake beds.
N0. The subject site is not affected by known earthquake, landslide,
mudslide or ground failure hazards. Further, all proposed fill/compaction
and subsurface construction shall conform to applicable City and Uniform
Building Code standards.
No. Addition of localized air pollutants will result from increased vehicle
traffic accessing the project site with little or no noticeable regional
impacts. Short term increases in localized pollutants and associated
noxious odors are likely during construction activities. Impacts are not
considered significant regionally.

No. The proposed structure is not located within defined marine or fresh
water flows.
No. Currently permeable ground will be rendered impervious as a result
of this proposal. Consequently, surface runoff and absorption rates on
the project site itself will change. Site drainage shall conform with plans
approved by the City of Temecula. Necessary improvements to effect
proper site drainage shall be as indicated in the attached drainage plans
and project conditions of approval. No significant impacts on drainage
patterns are anticipated. Reference also Item 1 .e.
No. Plans proposed at this time indicate no potential adverse on or off
site flooding impacts. Proposed drainage plans and all related necessary
improvements shall be as specified by the City Engineering Department.
No. Increased runoff from the project site may nominally increase
surface levels and turbidity of off-site bodies of water with no impacts
of significance.
NO. Reduced permeation at the project site may eventually affect
underlying groundwater. Impacts of this project individually are
considered insignificant.
No. Water consumption rates typical of small commercial/industrial
projects is proposed. All water consumption activities are subject to
monitoring and allowances specified by the applicable purveyor.
Proposed vehicle washing activities shall utilize recycled water per
applicable local and state requirements, Landscaping and irrigation shall
respect current drought conditions affecting the City as specified in the
project Conditions of Approval and exhibited by the proposed project
landscape and irrigation plan concepts.
N0. Reference Item No. 3.c.
No. The project site is currently barren of all vegetation, new plant
species which may be introduced as a result of required site landscaping
cannot be considered invasive because of the referenced lack of existing
on-site vegetation. Similarly, no impacts are anticipated on agricultural
assets.
S\STAF~RPT\239.PP 36
Animal Life
No. Minor losses of common urban species, e.g., small lizards, insects,
rodents, and their habitats may result from this project. Numerically and
qualitatively, these losses are considered environmentally insignificant.
Further, if not previously paid, the applicant is required to submit
Stephen's Kangaroo Rat habitat procuremerit fees in the amount
specified by City ordinance. Such monies are to be used for purchase
of suitable habitat for the Kangaroo Rat as it is gradually displaced due
to generalized development of the Temecula Valley. This proposal
contributes incrementally to regional displacement of the Kangaroo Rat.
Noise
8.a.
Maybe. Minor increases in local ambient noise levels will occur.
No. subsequent to project implementation and commercial/industrial
occupancy of the project site. Area-wide noise impacts will be
insignificant. Proposed hours of operation shall conform with normal
business hours of operations, generally considered to be between 7:00
A.M. and 8:00 P.M. Short term construction noise levels generated may
result in temporary localized disturbances considered insignificant as
adjacent properties are currently vacant.
Lioht and Glare
No. While the project could potentially impact night skies, the proposal
is required to comply with applicable City/Palomar Observatory lighting
policies and ordinance(s). These policies and ordinances address
potential night-sky lighting impacts of development proposals that might
logically affect activities of the Mr. Palomar Astronomical Observatory.
Land Use
NO. The project is consistent with underlying land use ordinances and
Southwest Area Plan guidelines affecting the subject property. No
change in Land Use designations is proposed in conjunction with this
project; no anticipated impacts.
Natural Resources
9.a,b.
No. The proposal is of limited scale and will not logically deplete
substantial amounts of renewable or non-renewable natural resources.
S\STAFFRPT\239,PP 37
Risk of UPset
lO.a,b.
No. Use and storage of hazardous substances e.g. waste oil/petroleum
products proposed has been reviewed and approved in concept by the
Riverside County Fire Department and the Riverside County Department
of Environmental Health Services. Potential risk of upset involving
hazardous substances e.g. fuel, oil, petroleum wastes, is reduced to
insignificance through compliance with the attached project Conditions
of Approval.
Population
11.
No. The project does not contain population relocation elements.
Housinq
12.
NO. No housing is proposed to be added nor deleted.
Transportation/Circulation
13.a,c.
No. Commercial/industrial construction of relatively limited scale is
proposed, generating similarly limited amounts of destination traffic.
Traffic generated will consist primarily of daily Rancho California Water
District operations vehicles and commuting employees. Nominal
amounts of visitor traffic can also be expected, Regionally, traffic
impacts of this individual project are determined to be insignificant.
Further, the project is required to contribute monies to area-wide, as well
as localized public improvements (e.g., signalization mitigation)
proportionate to the proposal's anticipated impacts as determined by the
City Public Works Department.
13.b.
Yes. In compliance with City ordinance and project specific
requirements,the project provides a total of 537 additional off-street,
improved parking spaces as referenced in the proposal's Conditions of
Approval (attached), and as indicated on Staff Report Exhibit D.
13.d.
NO. The project will attract additional destination traffic, primarily
employees and service vehicles, to the subject site upon its
implementation. Impacts on regional circulation patterns are expected
to be insignificant given the proposal's limited scale, Reference also
Item 13.a.
13.e.
No. The project is not in a location which will logically affect
waterborne, rail or air traffic, nor does it propose addition 3r deletion of
such facilities.
S\STAFFRPT\239,PP 38
13.f.
Maybe. Increases in traffic generated by this proposal may consequently
increase the possibility of traffic accidents. Impacts are likely to be
unnoticeable in view of the proposal's limited scope and proposed
infrastructure improvements supporting the project.
Public Services
14.a-c.
Maybe. New commercial/industrial development may generate at least
nominal increased demands for police and fire protection services, utility
provisions and, indirectly, schools. Mitigation is realized through project-
specific building permit fees, assessment districts, property taxes, and
similar funding mechanisms.
14. d.
Maybe. Construction is not proposed which will directly impact schools
or parks. However, the applicant is required by state law to contribute
applicable school fees as partial mitigation for secondary impacts on
school systems resulting from the commercial/industrial development
proposed.
14.e.
Ye~. Construction of new roads and associated increases in road
maintenance activities in the immediate vicinity of the proposal will be
required due to proportionate increases in traffic generated locally.
Mitigation of such impacts are as specified by the City Public Works
Department in the project's Conditions of Approval, attached.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

Tentative Parcel Map No. 24085 was submitted to
the County on November 22, 1988. The application
was continued at the Land Development Committee
(LDC) meeting of January 12, 1989 pending
submittal of paleontological and biological surveys,
additional grading information, geology and
liquefaction reports, flood plain information, and a
traffic study. The LDC continued Parcel Map No.
24085 at four subsequent meetings, pending
clearance from the County Geologist and the County
Traffic Engineer, submittal of a paleontological
report, submittal of a slope stability report, additional
information regarding liquefaction, and clearance of
the biological survey.
Parcel Map No. 24085 was transmitted to the City
on April 11, 1990. City Staff requested a copy of
the geologic report showing a restricted use zone, a
traffic study, an archaelolgy report, information
regarding property boundaries and the alignment of
Winchester Road, and landscape and architecture
standards.
The proposal is to create 57 parcels with an average
parcel size of approximately one acre on a site with
a gross area of 72.6 acres. There is an open space
area 150 feet in width reflecting the restricted use
S\STAFFRPT\24085 2
zone recommended in the geologic report. The
easterly side of the site comprises a Murrieta Creek
channel easement and a flood control easement to
the County of Riverside.
ANALYSIS:
Traffic linDacts
Future development of the site of Parcel Map No.
24085 is expected to generate 5,340 vehicle trip
ends per day. The traffic study prepared in
conjunction with the project determined that
projected future traffic based on existing traffic,
project generated traffic, and traffic generated by
other growth in the area will result in a peak hour
Level of Service D or better at all intersections within
the scope of the traffic study if recommended
improvements are implemented. The
recommendations include contributing to the
extension of Diaz Road, providing traffic signals at
certain intersection, contributing to the signalization
of other intersections, providing a signing and
striping plan, and contributing to the construction of
the Overland overcrossing and the restriping of
Winchester Road to six lanes. These improvements
are incorporated in the Conditions of Approval.
Fault Hazards
The site is traversed by a potentially active fault
which was previously unmapped. The geologic
report prepared in conjunction with the parcel map
defines a fault zone with two branches and
recommends the establishment of a restricted use
zone to include observed faults, their in-line
projections, and a buffer zone. The larger branch of
the restricted use zone is shown on the tentative
parcel map as an open space area 150 feet in width.
No habitable structure shall be constructed within
either branch of the restricted use zone.
S\STAFFRPT\24085 3
Liquefaction Potential
Liquefiable soils are present in the lower lying portion
of the site. Liquefaction may induce surface
subsidence on the site in the range of 0.1 to 1.4
inches. The geologic report recommends that thte
effects of liquefaction, including the loss of bearing
capacity, surface subsidence, and lateral spreading
be re-evaluated for each individual structure on the
site when grading and building plans become
available. Soils reports addressing the issues
delineated above shall be a condition of approval of
the subject parcel map and of any future
development proposals on the site.
Flood Hazard
A portion of the proposed parcels are located within
the 100 year flood plain limits of Murrieta Creek.
Measures to remove the project from the 100 year
flood plain are listed in the Conditions of Approval
(see County Flood Control District letter of November
16, 1990).
Drainage
The site is located within the limits of the Murrieta
Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan and
payment of drainage fees is required. All lots are
required to drain toward adjacent streets or an
adequate outlet approved by the City Engineer.
Parcel Map 21383 is located adjacent to and upslope
from the site. If development of the subject property
occurs before development of the site of Parcel Map
No. 21383, adequate inlet facilities shall be
constructed to collect all tributary flows and convey
them to Murrieta Creek. On-site grading shall be
designed to penetrate existing tributary drainage
areas and outlet points, and development of the
subject and adjacent properties shall be coordinated
S\STAFFRPT\24085 4
to ensure that water courses remain unobstructed
and that stormwaters are not diverted from one
watershed to another. The site, including each
phase if phasing occurs, shall be protected from 100
year tributary storm flows.
Gradina
Parcel Map No. 24085 will involve 363,000 cubic
yards of cut and fill. Cut slopes will be up to 25 feet
in height, and fill slopes be up to 10 feet high.
Some cut will penetrate into the Pauba formation
which consists of sandstone and siltstone. No cut or
fill slopes will exceed a slope ratio of 2:1. The slope
stability report determined that the proposed 2:1 cut
slopes will be grossly stable to a maximum height of
29 feet, and surficial erosion potential should be
mitigated by directing drainage away from the slope
faces and installing landscape planting on the slopes.
The recommendations of the slope stability report
are included in the conditions of approval.
Biological Impacts
Biological surveys of the site found no evidence of
the presence of any plant or animal species classified
as rare or endangered. The project will involve the
loss of foraging habitat for a number of species of
birds, reptiles, and mammals. This is an
incrementally adverse but regionally non-significant
impact which is mitigated by the retention of an
open space park area in the larger restricted use
zone. Further mitigations may be required by State
and Federal resource agencies relative to channel
improvements for Murrieta Creek. The use of native
California shrubs and trees in the landscaping will
enhance reoccupation of the bird community.
S\STAFFRPT\24085 5
Landscape and Architectural Standards
The applicant has provided a set of landscape and
architectural standards to ensure that development
of the site maintains a consistent level of quality.
Conformity with the lanscape and architechural
standards will be required of all future development
of the site.
Water and Sewer Availabilitv
Water and sewer service will be available from the
Rancho California Water District upon completion of
financial arrangements between the property owner
and the District.
Lot Line Adjustments and Street Realignments
The formation of Assessment District 155 included
a realignment of the right of way for the future
extension of Winchester Road west of Diaz Road.
Since the centerline of the right of way constituted
the boundary between properties, the realignment
resulting in changes to property boundaries. The
subject parcel map was affected by a realignment
resulted in changes to property boundaries. The
subject parcel map was affected by a realignment of
Winchester Road at the intersection with Avenida de
Venta. In order to prevent discrepancies in the legal
descriptions of the property at the time of
recordation of the map, Staff has required that the
applicant and other affected property owners
eliminate the discrepancies by filing lot line
adjustments, street vacations, and offers of
rededication reflecting the new alignment of
Winchester Road and the resulting changes in
property boundaries. These requirements shall be
completed prior to map recordation.
S\STAFFRPT\24085 6
Lot Size
All proposed lots encompass approximately one acre
and are adequate to satisfy the minimum lot size of
7,000 square feet where sewers are available. All
lots are over 100 feet wide and meet the minimum
width requirement of 65 feet where sewers are
available.
Access
All proposed parcels abut upon a street offered for
public dedication. Access to the site is taken from
Diaz Road and from the future extension of
Winchester Road west of Diaz Road through streets
"A", "B" and "C". No parcels shall take direct
access from Winchester Road or Diaz Road.
Archaeological Resources
The site of Parcel Map No. 24085 contains a
recorded archaeological site (CA-RIV-237) which is
believed to encompass approximately 70,000 square
meters, part of which is outside of the subject
property. During an archaeological surface survey of
the site conducted in June of 1991, many pieces of
basalt and quartz debitage, fragmented manos and
metares, fire-affected rocks, pestles, hammerstones,
and fragments of bowls and pottery were observed.
The recommendations of the Archaeological
Assessment are to conduct a surface collection of
the site and to excavate a sufficient number of one
cubic meter subsurface units to determine the depth,
spatial extent, and significance of the site. The
resulting information shall be used to determine what
additional measures may need to be implemented to
preserve cultural resources prior to grading. The
Archaeological Assessment also includes the
recommendation that an archaeologist be consulted
S\STAFFRPT\24085 7
for any future grading activities. These
recommendations shall be incorporated as Conditions
of Approval for Parcel Map No. 24085. In addition,
a Native American representative shall be present
during the archaeological excavation and also during
grading.
Fossil Resources
The site is located in the fossiliferous Pauba
Formation. In accordance with the recommendation
of the San Bernardino County Museum, the
subdivider shall retain a paleontologist to monitor
grading operations, evaluate any fossils encountered
during grading, prepare a report of findings, and
provide for preservation and curation of recovered
specimens.

The design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidable injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat as determined in the
Initial Study prepared for this project.
The design of the subdivision is consistent
with the State Map Act in regard to future
passive energy control opportunities in that all
parcels have adequate southerly exposure.
All lots have acceptable access to existing and
proposed dedicated right-of-ways which are
open to, and are useable by, vehicular traffic.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed project.
The lawful conditions stated in the project's
Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary
to protect the public hearlth, safety and
general welfare.
These findings are supported by minutes,

Ladies and Gentlemen: Re:
Parcel Map 24085
Amended No. 3
Dated August 7, 1990
This is a proposal to divide 72.6 acres into commercial parcels
in the City of Temecula. The site is located west of Diaz Road
about 1100 feet south of Winchester Road.
This property is
approximately one
year flood plain
located adjacent to Murrieta Creek and
half of the parcels are located within
limits of the creek.
the 100
The District is currently developing a final design for
improvement of Murrieta Creek with the assistance of a seven
member citizens' committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
Because of the complexity of the hydraulic and environmental
factors involved, and to ensure orderly development, the District
will design the entire Murrieta Creek improvement. Piecemeal
design of portions of this major regional flood control project
is not acceptable to the District. Following development of an
acceptable design, the District intends to pursue a funding
mechanism for the required improvements, probably by means of an
assessment district over the flood plain.
The right of way needed for Murrieta Creek in this area is 250
feet each side of the centerline. This includes a 50 foot
habitat mitigation strip on each side which will be returned if
it is not needed. This is shown correctly on Amended Map No. 3.
This site also receives offsite runoff from the hills to the
southwest. Tentative Parcel Map 21383 is proposed in the
hillside area west of this property. This map shows that the
storm drain in Winchester Road would extend up the hill. Much of
the offsite runoff tributary to this site would then be collected
by the development of Parcel Map 21383 and conveyed to the storm
drain system. Should Parcel Map 21383 not be constructed,
adequate inlet facilities will need to be constructed to collect
all of the tributary flows and convey them to Murrieta Creek.
The storm drain in Winchester Road is proposed to continue nortl
into Parcel Map 24086. Onsite flows are proposed to be collected
and conveyed to the Creek by several storm drain systems.

Following are the District's recommendations:
A portion of the proposed project is in a floodplain and
may affect "waters of the United States", "wetlands" or
"jurisdictional streambeds", therefore, in accordance
with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance
Program and Related Regulations (44 CFR, Parts 59 through
73) and County Ordinance No. 458:
A flood study consisting of HEC-2 calculations, cross
sections, ~aps and other data should be prepared to
the satisfaction of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the District for the purpose of
revising the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map of
the project site. The submittal of the study should
be concurrent with the initial submittal of the
related project improvement plans and final District
approval will not be given until a Conditional Letter
of Map Revision (CLOMR) has been received from FEMA.
A copy of appropriate correspondence and necessary
permits from those government agencies from which
approval is required by Federal or State law (such as
Corps of Engineers 404 permit or Department of Fish
and Game 1603 agreement) should be provided to the
District prior to the final District approval of the
project.
This parcel map is located within the limits of the
Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan for
which drainage fees have been adopted by the Board.
Drainage fees shall be paid as set forth under the
provisions of the "Rules and Regulations for
Administration of Area Drainage Plans", amended February
16, 1988:
Drainage fees shall be paid to the Transportation
Commissioner as part of the filing for record of the
subdivision final map or parcel map, or if the
recording of a final parcel map is waived, drainage
fees shall be paid as a condition of the waiver prior
to recording a certificate of compliance evidencing
the waiver of the parcel map; or

At the option of the land divider, upon filing a
required affidavit requesting deferment of the
payment of fees, the drainage fees may be paid to the
Building Director at the time of issuance of a
grading permit or building permit for each approved
parcel, whichever may be first obtained after the
recording of the subdivision final map or parcel map;
provided however, this option to defer the fees may
not be exercised for any parcel where grading or
structures have been initiated on the parcel within
the prior 3 year period, or permits for either
activity have been issued on that parcel which remain
active.
Murrieta Creek Channel should be constructed through the
proposed project in conformance with the District's
approved design including habitat mitigation measures
which may be required by the various resource agencies.
In lieu of constructing the channel improvements the
applicant shall cooperate in the formation of and
participate in a financial mechanism such as a community
facilities district or an assessment district to pay for
the cost of the District's proposed Murrieta Creek
Channel improvements.
The right of way for Murrieta Creek, including the area
required for habitat mitigation should be dedicated to
the District. The right of way needed for Murrieta Creek
in this area is 250 feet each s~.~e of the centerline.
This includes a 50 foot habitat mitigation strip on each

Offsite drainage facilities should be located within
dedicated drainage easements obtained from the affected
property owners. The documents should be recorded and a
copy submitted to the District prior to recordation of
the final map.
All lots should be graded to drain to the adjacent street
or an adequate outlet.
10.
The 10 year storm flow should be contained within the
curb and the 100 year storm flow should be contained
within the street right of way. When either of these
criteria is exceeded, additional drainage facilities
should be installed.
11.
Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions should be
designed to convey the tributary 100 year storm flows.
Additional emergency escape should also be provided.
12.
The property's street and lot grading should be designed
in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural
drainage patterns with respect to tributary drainage area
and outlet points.
13.
An encroachment permit should be obtained for any work on
District facilities or within District right of way. The
encroachment permit application should be processed and
approved concurrently with the improvement plans.
14.
Prior to initiation of the final construction drawings
for those facilities required to be built as part of the
Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan, the
developer should contact the Riverside County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District to ascertain the
terms and conditions of design, construction, inspection,
transfer of rights of way, project credit in lieu of fees
and reimbursement schedules which may apply. Title
reports and title insurance must be provided for all
right of way to be transferred to the District. The
developer should note that if the estimated cost for
required area drainage plan facilities exceeds the
required drainage fees and the developer wishes to
receive credit for reimbursement in excess of his fees,
the facilities will be constructed as a public works
contract. Scheduling for construction of these
facilities will be at the discretion of the District.

Development of this property should be coordinated with
the development of adjacent properties to ensure that
watercourses remain unobstructed and stormwaters are not
diverted from one watershed to another. This may require
the construction of temporary drainage facilities or
offsite construction and grading.
Master Drainage Plan facilities to be constructed as part
of this development's improvement obligation are to be
inspected, operated and maintained by the Riverside
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.
The developer should enter into an agreement with the
District establishing the terms and conditions covering
their inspection, operation and maintenance.
Inspection and maintenance of the storm drain system to
be built with this tract must be performed by either the
County Transportation Department or the Flood Control
District. The engineer (owner) must request (in writing)
that one of these agencies accept the proposed storm
drain system. The request should note the tract number,
location, and briefly describe the system (sizes and
lengths). Request to the District should be addressed to
Kenneth L. Edwards, Chief Engineer, Attn: Frank Peairs,
Planning Engineer. If the District is willing to accept
the system, an agreement between the owner and the
District must be executed. A request to draw up an
agreement must be sent to the District to the attention
of Michael Rawson.
All flood control facilities should be constructed to
District standards. All facilities that the District
will assume for maintenance will require the payment of a
one time maintenance charge equal to the "present worth"
of maintenance costs from the time of acceptance through
1998.

June 7, 1989 and )mur responses to County Geologic Review, dated August 15,
1989 and September 21, 1989.
It should be noted that previous reports prepared for this property were
entitled 1.) 'Preliminary Geotechntcal Investigation, Proposed
Industrial/Cofirnercial Site, West of Cherry Street and Diaz Road, A.D. No. 155,
Rancho California, Riverside County, CA' by Leighton and Associates, dated June

Anticipated Alluvial Removals, Proposed Industrial/Coemercial Site, AD No. 155,
Rancho California, Riverside County, CA,' by Leighton and Associates, dated
August 18, 1987. This report did not recognize or address the potential for
ground flssuring in the area, which occurred in late 1987. It is understood
that your report now supercedes these previous reports for the subject
property.
Your report determined that:
The surface trace of a previously unmapped, through going fault extends
northwest-southeast across the center of the property. A short branch
of this fault trends more northerly, coincident with a strong
photolineament and the 1987 ground fissure. These faults are
delineated on Plate 1, Geotechnical Map, revised 8-15-89/9-21-Bg, in
your report.
2. These faults are considered to be active in accordance with State of
California, Division of Mines and G~blogy criteria.
3. The Willard fault traces located at higher elevations on the westerly
portion of the site are Judged to be pre-Holocene in age.

The Whtttler-Elstnore fault zone ts considered capable of the htghest
ground mottons at the site. A lO0-year probable magnitude earthquake
of 6.3 on thts fault weuld result In a peak horizontal ground
acceleration of 0.41g at the site.
Ltqueftable and marginally ltqueftable zones are present in the
lower-lying portion of the site, below a depth of approximately
fee~. The liquefiable areas are delineated on Plate 1, Geotechnical
Map, revised 8o15-Bg/g-21-Bg.
Surface subsidence my be induced by liquefaction and the settlement is
estimated to be in the range of 0.1 inch to 1.4 inches, however
reduction of bearing capacity for shallow spread footings is not
anticipated. The potential for lateral spreading is considered low
based on the present geometry of the Murrieta Creek Channel relative to
the liqueftable zones at the site.
7. The potential for selches, earthquake-induced flooding and lurching is
considered to be extremely low at this site.
8. The mapped landslide at the northwest portion of the property is a
shallow, surficial failure.
Ground ~tssuring will mast likely occur along the establish traces of
historic and Holocene fault displacements. It is not expected that
ground fissures will occur in portions of the property away from
pre-exlsting Holocene faults.
Your report recommended that:
No habitable structures shall be placed acrossed the active (Holocene)
faults and ground fissures.
A Restricted Use Zone (R.U.Z.) shall be established to include the
observed faults, their tn-ltne projections and buffer zone. The total
width and extent of the R.U.Z. is shown on Plate 1, Seotechnlcal Map,
revised 8-15-89/9-Z1-89.
The effects of soil liquefaction, including loss of bearing capacity,
surface subsidence and lateral spreading shall be ro-evaluated for each

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant.)
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

1.g.
Yes. Parcel Map No. 24085 will involve 363,000 cubic yards of cut and
fill, and Parcel Map No. 24086 will involve 349,000 cubic yards of cut
and fill. Some cut will penetrate into the Pauba Formation which
consists of sandstone and siltstone. Mitigation of liquefaction potential
on the site may involve removal and recompaction of soil on the site. All
cut and fill slopes will not exceed a 2:1 grade. Cut slopes on the site of
Parcel Map No. 24085 will be up to 25 feet in height and fill slopes will
be approximately 10 feet high. Cut and fill slopes on the site of Parcel
Map No. 24086 will be less than 30 feet in height. The Slope Stability
Report determined that the proposed 2:1 cut slopes will be grossly stable
to a maximum height of 29 feet, and surficial erosion potential should be
mitigated by directing drainage away from the slope faces and installing
landscape planting on the slopes. The recommendations of the Slope
Stability Report shall be included in the conditions of approval for the
subject parcel maps.
No. There are no unique geologic or physical features on the site.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted.
The wind erosion impact is considered high and significant but will be
mitigated through minimal grading, retention of natural vegetation
whenever feasible, and use of watering trucks and hydroseeding
disturbed areas after grading. After construction of the project, water
run-off is likely to increase due to the addition of impermeable surfaces.
Appropriate drainage control devices will have to be approved through
the Engineering Department and will have to be designed in accordance
with Temecula's standards and the conditions of approval.
No. Any drainage into the Murrieta Creek channel will be via drainage
improvements as approved by the City Engineer and will not result in
erosion or siltation.
Yes. Portions of the site are susceptible to liquefaction and subsidence,
and the site is traversed by a potentially active fault. The Geology
Report recommends that the effects of liquefaction, including loss of
bearing capacity, surface subsidence and lateral spreading should be re-
evaluated for each individual structure when grading and building plans
become available. In accordance with the requirements of state law, a
restricted use zone based on the geology report is shown on the map.
The restricted use zone represents a setback from the earthquake fault

on the site, and no structures for human occupancy will be permitted
within the restricted use zone. Hazards to buildings outside of the
restricted use zone due to groundshaking associated with the fault are
addressed by the requirements of the Uniform Building Code. The
geologic hazard mitigations recommended in the Geology Report and the
County Geologists letter shall be conditions of approval.
No. The proposed parcel map will not result in any impacts to air quality
or the climate. Subsequent development proposals will be assessed for
potential impacts to air quality and mitigation measures will be required
if necessary.
No. The portion of the property necessary for the future construction of
Murrieta Creek flood control facilities is indicated on the tentative parcel
map as a County Channel Easement. There will be no change in the
course or direction of water in Murrieta Creek.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in changes in the amount of
surface runoff. The improvement of the site will provide for adequate
drainage facilities as approved by the City Engineer.
No. The project will result in minor, localized redirection of flood waters
to the extent necessary to elevate the site above the 1 O0 year flood
plain elevation, but the overall direction and flow of flood waters will not
be changed.
Maybe. Grading and future development of the site may increase the
amount of surface runoff flowing into the Murrieta Creek channel. This
is not considered a significant impact and is consistent with the
provisions of the Murrieta Creek Area Drainage Plan and Assessment
District 155.
Yes. Grading may result in an increase in turbidity in local surface water.
This impact is temporary and is not considered significant.
No. Recompaction of soil to mitigate the potential for liquefaction is not
expected to result in a significant impact on the direction or rate of flow
of ground waters.
No. The proposed parcel map will not result in any impact on public
water supplies.

No. Prior to recordation of the proposed parcel map, the applicant shall
obtain a Letter of Map Revision from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency indicating that grading of the site or other
improvements are adequate to ensure that the site will be above the 1 O0
year flood plain elevation.
No. A botanical survey of the site found no sensitive plant species on
the site. Grazing and the introduction of non-native grasses have
previously disturbed the natural native flora on the site.
Maybe. Landscaping of the site may introduce some non-native species.
This is not considered a significant impact.
No. The site is not currently used as crop land.
No. A biology survey of the site did not reveal the presence or any
indications of any species classified as rare or endangered.
Yes. The project will involve a loss of grass land and chaparral which
provides foraging habitat for birds, mammals, and reptiles. In regional
terms, the loss of foraging habitat is an incrementally adverse but non-
significant impact. The biology report recommends the use of native
California shrubs and trees to revegetate graded and open areas in order
to enhance reoccupation of the bird community. Use of native plant life
shall be a condition of approval.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in increased noise levels during
grading. This impact will be temporary and is not considered significant
because the site is not near any noise sensitive land uses.
No. Future development will be reviewed for potential noise impacts,
and land uses which generate severe noise impacts will be prohibited or
required to provide adequate noise mitigation.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not cause new light or glare, and
subsequent development of the site will be subject to standard
conditions prohibiting lighting from impacting adjacent properties and
requiring low-glare sodium vapor lights.
No. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zone and the land
use designation in which the property is located.
No. The project will not involve a substantial increase in the rate of
consumption of natural or non-renewable resources.

of the site will help address the irabalance of local jobs in relation to
existing and approved housing.
Yes. Future development of the site of Parcel Map No. 24085 is
expected to generate 5,340 vehicle trip ends per day. 5,150 trip ends
per day are expected as a result of development of the site of Parcel
Map No. 24086. The traffic study prepared in conjunction with the
project determined that intersections and roadways in the vicinity will
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service if recommended
improvements are implemented. The following recommended traffic
impact mitigations are incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for
Parcel Map No. 24085. A signing and striping plan shall be designed by
a registered Civil Engineer and approved by the Department of Public
Works and shall be included in the street imporvements plans. Plans for
traffic signals shall be designed by a registered Civil Engineer and
approved by the Department of Public Works for the intersections of
Avenida de Ventas at Diaz Road and Avenida de Ventas at Winchester
Road, and shall be included in the street improverant plans with the
second plan check submittal. The developer shall execute a
Reimbursement Agreement for the design and construction of traffic
signals for the intersections of Winchester Road at Diaz Road,
Winchester Road at Enterprise Circle West and Winchester Road at
Enterprise Circle East. The subdivider shall enter into an agreement with
the City of Temecula to contribute a pro-rata share to the construction
of the extension of Diaz Road to Washington Street/Rancon Center
Boulevard overcrossing, the Overland overcrossing, Winchester Road
restriping to six lanes, and the western bypass corridor as determined by
a focused traffic analysis approved by the Deaprtment of Public Works.
No. Future development of the site will be required to provide adequate
off-street parking as appropriate for the particular land use proposed.
No. The project will have no impact upon existing transportation
systems or upon water, rail, or air traffic.

subject property, During an archaeological surface survey of the site
conducted in June of 1991, many pieces of basalt and quartz debitage,
fragmented manos and metates, fire-affected rocks, pestles,
hammerstores, and fragments of bowls and pottery were observed. The
recommendations of the Archaeological Assessment are to conduct a
surface collection of the site and to excavate a sufficient number of one
cubic meter subsurface units to determine the depth, spatial extent, and
S\STAFFRPT~24085 13
significance of the site. The resulting information shall be used to
determine whether the site is a unique resource for the area and whether
measures to preserve the site or salvage some percentage of the cultural
resources should be implemented. The Archaeological Assessment
includes the recommendation that an archaeologist be consulted for any
future grading activities, These recommendations shall be incorporated
as Conditions of Approval for Parcel Maps 24805 and 24806. In
addition, a Native American representative shall be present during
archaeological excavation and also during grading.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

BACKGROUND:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 24086 was submitted to
the County on November 22, 1988. The application
was continued at the Land Development Committee
(LDC) meeting of January 12, 1989 pending
submittal of paleontological and biological surveys,
additional grading information, geology and
liquefaction reports, flood plain information, and a
traffic study. The LDC continued Parcel Map No.
24086 at four subsequent meetings, pending
clearance from the County Geologist and the County
Traffic Engineer, submittal of a paleontological-
report, submittal of a slope stability report, additional
information regarding liquefaction, and clearance of
the biological survey.
Parcel Map No. 24086 was transmitted to the City
on April 11, 1990. City staff requested a copy of
the geologic report showing a restricted use zone, a
traffic study, an archeology report, information
regarding property boundaries and the alignment of
Winchester Road, and landscape and architecture
standards.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposal is to create 49 parcels with an average
parcel size of approximately one acre on a site with
a gross area of 69.7 acres. There is an open space
area 150 feet in width reflecting the restricted use
zone recommended in the geologic report. The
easterly side of the site in Murrieta Creek comprises
a channel easement and a flood control easement to
the County of Riverside.
S\STAFFRPT\24086.PM 2
ANALYSIS:
Traffic Impacts
Future development of the site of Parcel Map No.
24086 is expected to generate 5,150 vehicle trip
ends per day. The traffic study prepared in
conjunction with the project determined that
projected future traffic based on existing traffic,
project generated traffic, and traffic generated by
other growth in the area will result in a peak hour
Level of Service D or better at all intersections within
the scope of the traffic study if recommended
improvements are implemented. The
recommendation include contributing to the
extension of Diaz Road, providing traffic signals at
certain intersection contributing to the signalization
of other intersection, providing a signing and striping
plan, and contributing to the construction of the
Overland overcrossing and the restriping of
Winchester Road to six lanes. These improvements
are incorporated in the Conditions of Approval.
Fault Hazards
The site is traversed by a potentially active fault
which was previously unmapped. The geologic
report prepared in conjunction with the parcel map
defines a fault zone with two branches and
recommends the establishment of a restricted use
zone to include observed faults, their in-line
projections, and a buffer zone. The restricted use
zone is shown on the tentative parcel map as an
open space area 150 feet in width. No habitable
structure shall be constructed within either branch of
the restricted use zone.
Li~3uefaction Potential
Liquefiable soils are present in the lower lying portion
of the site. Liquefaction may induce surface
subsidence on the site in the range of 0.1 to 1.4
inches. The geologic report recommends that the
effects of liquefaction, including the loss of bearing
capacity, surface subsidence, and lateral spreading
be re-evaluated for each individual structure on the
S\STAFFRPT~24086 .PM 3
site when grading and building plans become
available. Soil reports addressing the issues
delineated above shall be a condition of approval of
the subject parcel map and of any future
development proposals on the site.
Flood Hazard
Approximately one half of the proposed parcels are
located within the 100 year flood plain limits of
Murrieta Creek. Measures to remove the project
from the 100 year flood plain are listed in the
conditions of approval (see County Flood Control
District letter of November 16, 1990).
Drainage
The site is located within the limits of the Murrieta
Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan and
payment of drainage fees is required. All lots are-
required to drain toward adjacent streets or an
adequate outlet approved by the City Engineer.
Parcel Map No. 24086 is located adjacent to and
upslope from the site. If development of the subject
property occurs before development of the site of
Parcel Map No. 24086 adequate inlet facilities shall
be constructed to collect all tributary flows and
convey them to Murrieta Creek. On-site grading
shall be designed to penetrate existing tributary
drainage areas and outlet points, and development of
the subject and adjacent properties shall be
coordinated to ensure that water courses remain
unobstructed and that stormwaters are not diverted
from one watershed to another. The site, including
each phase if phasing occurs, shall be protected
from 100 year tributary storm flows.
Grading
Parcel Map No. 24086 will involve 349,000 cubic
yards of cut and fill. Cut slopes will be less than 30
feet in height, and fill slopes be up to 10 feet high.
S\STAFFRPT\24086 .PM 4
Some cut will penetrate into the Pauba formation
which consists of sandstone and siltstone. No cut of
fill slopes will exceed a slope ratio of 2: 1. The slope
stability report determined that the proposed 2:1 cut
slopes will be grossly stable to a maximum height of
29 feet, and surficial erosion potential should be
mitigated by directing drainage away from the slope
faces and installing landscape planting on the slopes.
The recommendations of the slope stability report
shall be included in the conditions of approval.
Biological Imoacts
Biological surveys of the site found no evidence of
the presence of any plant or animal species classified
as rare or endangered. The project will involve the
loss of foraging habitat for a number of species of
birds, reptiles, and mammals. This is an
incrementally adverse but regionally non-significant
impact which is mitigated by the retention of an-
open space park area in the larger restrict use zone.
Further mitigations may be required by State and
Federal resource agencies relative to channel
improvements for Murrieta Creek. The use of native
California shrubs and trees in the landscaping will
enhance reoccupation of the bird community.
LandscaPe and Architectural Standards
The applicant has provided a set of landscape and
architectural standards to ensure that development
of the site maintains a consistent level of quality.
Conformity with the landscape and architectural
standards will be required of all future development
of the site.
Water and Sewer Availability
Water and sewer service will be available from the
Rancho California Water District upon completion of
financial arrangements between the property owner
and the District.
S\STAFFRPT\24086.PM 5
Lot Line Adjustments and Street Realignments
The formation of Assessment District 155 included
a realignment of the right of way for the future
extension of Winchester Road west of Diaz Road,
Since the centerline of the right of way constituted
the boundary between properties, the realignment
which resulted in changes to property boundaries.
The subject parcel map was affected by a
realignment which resulted in changes to property
boundaries. The subject parcel map was affected by
a realignment of Winchester Road at the intersection
with Avenida de Venta. In order to prevent
discrepancies in the legal descriptions of the property
at the time of recordation, staff has required that the
applicant and other affected property owners
eliminate the discrepancies by filing lot line
adjustments, street vacations, and offers of
rededication reflecting the new alignment of
Winchester Road and the resulting changes in-
property boundaries. These requirements shall be
completed prior to map recordation.
Lot Size
All proposed lots encompass approximately one acre
and are adequate to satisfy the minimum lot size of
7,000 square feet where sewers are available. All
lots are over 100 feet wide and meet the minimum
width requirement of 65 feet where sewers are
available.
Access
All proposed parcels abut upon a street offered for
public dedication. Access to the site is taken from
Diaz Road and from the future extension of
Winchester Road west of Diaz Road through streets
"A", "B" and "C". No parcels shall take direct
access from Winchester Road or Diaz Road.
S\STAFFRPT\24086 .PM 6
Archaeological Resources
The site of Parcel Map No. 24086 contains a
recorded archaeological site (CA-RIV-237) which is
believed to encompass approximately 70,000 square
meters, part of which is out site of the subject
property. During an archaeological surface survey of
the site conducted in June of 1891, many pieces of
basalt and quartz debitage, fragmented manos and
metares, fire-affected rocks, pestles, hammerstones,
and fragments of bowls and pottery were observed.
The recommendations of the Archaeological
Assessment are to conduct a surface collection of
the site and to excavate a sufficient number of one
cubic meter subsurface units to determine the depth,
spatial extent, and significance of the site. The
resulting information shall be used to determine
whether the site is a unique resource for the area
and whether measures to preserve the site or

GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
Parcel Map No. 24086 is consistent with the
Southwest Area Plan designation of the site for light
industrial uses. The parcel map conforms to the
requirements of the M-SC, Manufacturing-Service
Commercial Zone. There is a reasonable probability
that the project will be consistent with the future
General Plan in that the project is consistent with a
existing land uses and approved subdivisions in the
vicinity.
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
The Initial Study prepared for Parcel Map No. 24086
indicates that the project will not have any impacts
on the environment which cannot be mitigated to a
level of insignificance, and Staff recommends
adoption of a Negative Declaration.
FINDINGS:
The proposed Parcel Map will not have a
significant negative impact on the-
environment, as determined in the Initial Study
performed for the project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the General
Plan being prepared at this time in that the
proposed commercia-industrial subdivision is
consistent with the SWAP Light Industrial
Land Use designation, the Manufacturing-
Service Commercial Zone, and existing land
uses in the vicinity.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with, the future
adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the proposed commercial/industrial parcel map
is consistent with existing and approved uses
and subdivisions in the vicinity.

The proposed use complies with State
planning and zoning law. The project
conforms to the current zoning for the site
and Ordinance No. 460, Schedule "E".
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configurations, access, and
density.
The design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat as determined in the
Initial Study prepared for this project.
The design of the subdivision is consistent
with the State Map Act in regard to future
passive energy control opportunities in that all -
parcels have adequate southerly exposure.
All lots have acceptable access to existing and
proposed dedicated right-of-ways which are
open to, and are useable by, vehicular traffic.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed project.
The lawful conditions stated in the project's
Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary
to protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re:
Parcel Map 24086
Amended No. 3
Dated August 7, 1990
This is a proposal to divide 69.7 acres into commercial parcels in the City of
Temecula. The site is located southwest of the intersection of Diaz Road and
Winchester Road.
This property is located adjacent to Murrieta Creek and approximately one half
of the parcels are located within the 100 year flood plain limits of the
creek.
The District is currently developing a final design for improvement of
Murrieta Creek with the assistance of a seven member citizens' committee
appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Because of the complexity of the
hydraulic and environmental factors involved, and to ensure orderly
development, the District will design the entire Marrieta Creek improvement.
Piecemeal design of portions of this major regional flood control project is
not acceptable to the District. Following development of an acceptable
design, the District intends to pursue a funding mechanism for the required
improvements, probably by means of an assessment district over the flood
plain.
The right of way needed for Murrieta Creek in this area is 250 feet each side
of the centerline. This includes a 50 foot habitat mitigation strip on each
side which will be returned if it is not needed. This is shown correctly on
Amended Map No. 3.
This site also receives offsite runoff from the hills to the southwest. This
development assumes that Parcel ~p 21029 will be constructed and the
tributary flows will be collected in Winchester Road. Should Parcel Map 21029
not be constructed, adequate inlet facilities will need to be constructed to
collect all of the tributary flows. Access for maintenance purposes should be
provided to all inlet and outlet structures.
Following are the District's recommendations:
A portion of the proposed project is in a floodplain and may affect
"waters of the United States", "wetlands" or "jurisdictional
streambeds", therefore, in accordance with the requirements of the
National Flood Insurance Program and Related Regulations (44 CFR,
Parts 59 through 73) and County Ordinance No. 458:

A flood study consisting of HEC-2 calculations, cross sections,
maps and other data should be prepared to the satisfaction of the
Federal Emergency ~nagement Agency (FEMA) and the District for
the purpose of revising the effective Flood insurance Rate Map of
the project site. The submittal of the study should be concurrent
with the initial submittal of the related project improvement
plans and final District approval will not be given until a
Conditional Letter of Map Revision ~CLOMR) has been received from
FEM~.
A copy of appropriate correspondence and necessary permits from
those government agencies from which approval is required by
Federal or State law (such as Corps of Engineers 404 permit or
Department of Fish and Game 1603 agreement) should be provided to
the District prior to the final District approval of the project.
This parcel map is located within the limits of the Murrieta
Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan for which drainage fees have
been adopted by the Board. Drainage fees shall be paid as set forth
under the provisions of the "Rules and Regulations for Administration
of Area Drainage Plans", amended February 16, 19~8:
Drainage fees shall be paid to the Transportation Commissioner as
part of the filing for record of the subdivision final map or par-
cel map, or if the recording of a final parcel map is waived,
drainage fees shall be paid as a condition of the waiver prior to
recording a certificate of compliance evidencing the waiver of the
parcel map; or
At the option of the land divider, upon filing a required af-
fidavit requesting deferment of the payment of fees, the drainage
f~es may be paid to the Building Director at the time of issuance
of a grading permit or building permit for each approved parcel,
whichever may be first obtained after the recording of the sub-
division final map or parcel map; provided however, this option to
defer the fees may not be exercised for any parcel where grading
or structures have been initiated on the parcel within the prior 3
year period, or permits for either activity have been issued on
that parcel which remain active.
~I~rrieta Creek Channel should be constructed through the proposed
project in conformance with the District's approved design including
habitat mitigation measures which may be required by the various
resource agencies. In lieu of constructing the channel improvements
the applicant shall cooperate in the formation of and participate in a
financial mechanism such as a co~nunity facilities district or an
assessment district to pay for the cost of the District's proposed
Murrieta Cree~ Channel improvements.

The right of way for Murrieta Creek, including the area required for
habitat mitigation should be dedicated to the District. The right of
way needed for Murrieta Creek in this area is 250 feet each side of
the centerline. This includes a 50 foot habitat mitigation strip on
each side which will be returned if it is not needed.
This development assumes that Parcel Map 21029 will be constructed and
the tributary flows will be collected in Winchester Road. Should
Parcel Map 21029 not be constructed, adequate inlet facilities will
need to be constructed to collect all of the tributary flows. Access
for maintenance purposes should be provided to all inlet and outlet
structures.
Pads on this site should be elevated 12 inches above the 100 year
water surface elevation in Murrieta Creek.
Onsite drainage facilities located outside of road right of way should
be contained within drainage easements shown on the final map. A note
should be added to the final map stating, "Drainage easements shall be
kept free of buildings and obstructions".
Offsite drainage facilities should be located within dedicated
drainage easements obtained from the affected property owners. The
documents should be recorded and a copy submitted to the District
prior to recordation of the final map.
All lots should be graded to drain to the adjacent street or an
adequate outlet.
The 10 year storm flow should be contained within the curb and the 100
year storm flow should be contained within the street right of way.
~nen either of these criteria is exceeded, additional drainage
facilities should be installed.
Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions should be designed to
convey the tributary 100 year storm flows. Additional emergency
escape should also be provided.
The property's street and lot grading should be designed in a manner
that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns with respect
to tributary drainage area and outlet points.
An encroachment permit should be obtained for any work on District
facilities or within District right of way. The encroachment permit
application should be processed and approved concurrently with the
improvement plans.

Prior to initiation of the final construction drawings for those
facilities required to be built as part of the Murrieta Creek/Temecula
Valley Area Drainage Plan, the developer should contact the Riverside
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to ascertain the
terms and conditions of design, construction, inspection, transfer of
rights of way, project credit in lieu of fees and reimbursement
schedules which may apply. Title reports and title insurance must be
provided for all right of way to be transferred to the District. The
developer should note that if the estimated cost for required area
drainage plan facilities exceeds the required drainage fees and the
developer wishes to receive credit for reimbursement in excess of his
fees, the facilities will be constructed as a public works contract.
Scheduling for construction of these facilities will be at the
discretion of the District.
15. If the tract is built in phases, each phase shall be protected from
the 1 in 100 year tributary storm flows.
16.
Temporary erosion control measures should be implemented immediately
following rough grading to prevent deposition of debris onto
downstream properties or drainage facilities.
Development of this property should be coordinated with the
development of adjacent properties to ensure that watercourses remain
unobstructed and stormwaters are not diverted from one watershed to
another. This may require the construction of temporary drainage
facilities or offsite construction and grading.
18.
~ster Drainage Plan facilities to be constructed as part of this
development's improvement obligation are to be inspected, operated and
maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District. The developer should enter into an agreement
with the District establishing the terms and conditions covering their
inspection, operation and maintenance.
19.
Inspection and maintenance of the storm drain system to be built with
this tract must be performed by either the County Transportation
Department or the Flood Control District. The engineer (owner) must
request (in writing) that one of these agencies accept the proposed
storm drain system. The request should note the tract number,
location, and briefly describe the system (sizes and lengths).
Request to the District should be addressed to Kenneth L. Edwards,
Chief Engineer, Attn: Frank Peairs, Planning Engineer. If the
District is willing to accept the system, an agreement between the
owner and the District must be executed. A request to draw up an
agreement must be sent to the District to the attention of Michael
Rawson.

The applicant's engineer should contact the District's Plan Check
section to schedule a pre-design meeting before the engineer starts
detailed project design.

Tentative Parcel Maps 24085 and 24086
Slope Stability Report No. 149
The following report has been reviewed relative to slope stability at the
subject site:
"Slope Stability Assessment, Tentative Parcel Maps 24085, 24086, Rancho
California, Riverside County, CA," by Schaefer Dixon Associates dated August
t6, 1989.
This report determined that:
Tentative Parcel Map 24085 will be graded with cut slopes ranging up to
25 feet high and fill slopes approximBtely 10 feet high, both at 2:1
{horizontal: vertical).
2. Tentative Parcel Map 24086 will be graded with 2:1 (H:V) cut and fill
slopes less than 30 feet high.
The Pauba formation in the planned cut areas consists primarily of
moderately hard to hard, moderately fractured, locally friable
sandstones and siltstones.
Proposed cut slopes fade in Pauba fonmtton sediments, having
favorable-oriented bedding planes, are expected to be grossly stable at
2:1 {H:V) to a mximum height of 29 feet.
5. Surficial erosion is possible in both cut and fill slopes of granular
Pauba formation mterials.
This report recommended that:
1. Cut slope excavations should be observed during grading by the project
engineering geologist.
John Chiu - 2 - September 6, 1989
Drainage on cut and fill slopes should be dl rected away from the slope
face. Drainage devices should be constructed as per the Uniform
Building Code.
3. Proper landscaping should be established immediately after construction
and maintained.
4. Slope wash and topsoil materials exposed in cut slopes should be
removed and replaced with compacted fill materials.
This report satisfies the General Plan requirement for a slope stability
report. the recommendations made in this report should be adhered to in the
design and construction of this project.

Industrial/Commercial Site, West of Cherry Street and Diaz Road, A.D. No. 155,
Rancho California, Riverside County, CA" by Leighton and Associates, dated June
23, 1986, and 2.) "Engineering Geologic Investigation of Faulting and
Anticipated Alluvial Removals, Proposed Industrial/Commercial Site, AD No. 155,
Rancho California, Riverside County, CA," by Leighton and Associates, dated
August 18, 1987. This report did not recognize or address the potential for
ground fissuring in the area, which occurred in late 1987. It is understood
that your report now supercedes these previous reports for the subject
property.
Your report determined that:
The surface trace of a previously unmapped, through going fault extends
northwest-southeast across the center of the property. A short branch
of this fault trends more northerly, coincident with a strong
photolineament and the 1987 ground fissure. These faults are
delineated on Plate 1, Geotechnical Map, revised 8-15-89/9-21-89, in
your report.
2. These faults are considered to be active in accordance with State of
California, Division of Mines and Geology criteria.
3. The Willard fault traces located at higher elevations on the westerly
portion of the site are judged to be pre-Holocene in age.

Schaefer Dixon Associates - 2 - October 16, 1989
The Whittier-Elsinore fault zone is considered capable of the highest
ground motions at the site. A lO0-year probable magnitude earthquake
of 6.3 on this fault would result in a peak horizontal ground
acceleration of 0.41g at the site.
Liquefiable and marginally liquefiable zones are present in the
lower-lying portion of the site, below a depth of approximately 15
feet. The liquefiable areas are delineated on Plate 1, Geotechnical
Map, revised 8-15-89/9-21-89.
Surface subsidence may be induced by liquefaction and the settlement is
estimated to be in the range of 0.1 inch to 1.4 inches, however
reduction of bearing capacity for shallow spread footings is not
anticipated. The potential for lateral spreading is considered low
based on the present geometry of the Murrieta Creek Channel relative to
the liquefiable zones at the site.
7. The potential for seiches, earthquake-induced flooding and lurching is
considered to be extremely low at this site.
8. The mapped landslide at the northwest portion of the property is a
shallow, surficial failure.
Ground fissuring will most likely occur along the establish traces of
historic and Holocene fault displacements. It is not expected that
ground fissures will occur in portions of the property away from
pre-existing Holocene faults.
Your report recommended that:
No habitable structures shall be placed acrossed the active {Holocene)
faults and ground fissures.
A Restricted Use Zone {R.U.Z.) shall be established to include the
observed faults, their in-line projections and buffer zone. The total
width and extent of the R.U.Z. is shown on Plate 1, Geotechnical Map,
revised 8-15-89/9-21-8g.
The effects of soil liquefaction, including loss of bearing capacity,
surface subsidence and lateral spreading shall be re-evaluated for each
individual structure on the site when grading and building plans become
available.
The mapped landslide at the northwest portion of the property shall be
delineated on the project grading plans. In addition, the disturbed
surficial materials shall be completely removed during grading, in
conformance with standard earthwork practices.
Schaefer Dixon Associates - 3 - October 16, I989
Recommendations for removing the uncontrolled fill from the exploratory
trenches, and for placement of structures adjacent to or astride any of
these trenches, should be specifically provided as part of the
geotechnical grading plan review report for the subject projects.
6. Final plans and specifications should be reviewed by the geotechnical
consultant prior to site construction.
It is our opinion that the report was prepared in a competent manner and
satisfies the additional information requested under the California
Environmental Quality Act review and the Riverside County Comprehensive General
Plan. Final approval of the report is hereby given.
We recommend that the following conditions be satisfied before recordation of
Tentative Parcel Maps 24085 and 24086 and/or issuance any County permits
associated with this project:
The recommended Restricted Use Zone shown on Plate 1, Geotechnical Map,
revised B-15-89/9-21-89 in the report shall be delineated on the
project maps and/or Environmental Constraints Sheet {E.C.S.). The
areas within the Recommended Restricted Use Zone shall be labeled
"FAULT AND GROUND FISSURE HAZARD AREA."
2. The following notes shall be placed on the E.C.S. and/or Subdivision
maps:
"The property is affected by earthquake faulting and ground
fissures. Structures for human occupancy shall not be allowed in
the Fault and Ground Fissure Hazard Area."
(b)
"County Geologic Report No. 627 was prepared for this property on
June 7, 1989 by Schafer Dixon Associates, and is on file at the
Riverside County Planning Department. Specific items of concern
are as follows: earthquake faulting, fissuring and ground
subsidence, liquefaction, landsliding, and uncompacted trench
backfill."
3. The E.C.S. and/or project maps shall be submitted to the Planning
Department Engineering Geologist for review and approval.
4. The exploratory trench backfill shall be addressed by the project
geotechnical engineering prior to issuance of grading permits.
Liquefaction reports for individual structures shall be submitted to
the Planning Department Engineering Geologist for review and approval
prior to Plot Plan approval.

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant.)
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

1.g.
Yes. Parcel Map No. 24085 will involve 363,000 cubic yards of cut and
fill, and Parcel Map No. 24086 will involve 349,000 cubic yards of cut
and fill. Some cut will penetrate into the Pauba Formation which
consists of sandstone and siltstone. Mitigation of liquefaction potential
on the site may involve removal and recompaction of soil on the site. All
cut and fill slopes will not exceed a 2:1 grade. Cut slopes on the site of
Parcel Map No. 24085 will be up to 25 feet in height and fill slopes will
be approximately 10 feet high. Cut and fill slopes on the site of Parcel
Map No. 24086 will be less than 30 feet in height. The Slope Stability
Report determined that the proposed 2:1 cut slopes will be grossly stable
to a maximum height of 29 feet, and surficial erosion potential should be
mitigated by directing drainage away from the slope faces and installing
landscape planting on the slopes. The recommendations of the Slope
Stability Report shall be included in the conditions of approval for the
subject parcel maps.
No. There are no unique geologic or physical features on the site.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted.
The wind erosion impact is considered high and significant but will be
mitigated through minimal grading, retention of natural vegetation
whenever feasible, and use of watering trucks and hydroseeding
disturbed areas after grading. After construction of the project, water
run-off is likely to increase due to the addition of impermeable surfaces.
Appropriate drainage control devices will have to be approved through
the Engineering Department and will have to be designed in accordance
with Temecula's standards and the conditions of approval.
No. Any drainage into the Murrieta Creek channel will be via drainage
improvements as approved by the City Engineer and will not result in
erosion or siltation.
Yes. Portions of the site are susceptible to liquefaction and subsidence,
and the site is traversed by a potentially active fault. The Geology
Report recommends that the effects of liquefaction, including loss of
bearing capacity, surface subsidence and lateral spreading should be re-
evaluated for each individual structure when grading and building plans
become available. In accordance with the requirements of state law, a
restricted use zone based on the geology report is shown on the map.
The restricted use zone represents a setback from the earthquake fault

on the site, and no structures for human occupancy will be permitted
within the restricted use zone. Hazards to buildings outside of the
restricted use zone due to groundshaking associated with the fault are
addressed by the requirements of the Uniform Building Code. The
geologic hazard mitigations recommended in the Geology Report and the
County Geologists letter shall be conditions of approval.
No. The proposed parcel map will not result in any impacts to air quality
or the climate. Subsequent development proposals will be assessed for
potential impacts to air quality and mitigation measures will be required
if necessary.
No. The portion of the property necessary for the future construction of
Murrieta Creek flood control facilities is indicated on the tentative parcel
map as a County Channel Easement, There will be no change in the
course or direction of water in Murrieta Creek.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in changes in the amount of
surface runoff. The improvement of the site will provide for adequate
drainage facilities as approved by the City Engineer.
No. The project will result in minor, localized redirection of flood waters
to the extent necessary to elevate the site above the 1 O0 year flood
plain elevation, but the overall direction and flow of flood waters will not
be changed.
Maybe. Grading and future development of the site may increase the
amount of surface runoff flowing into the Murrieta Creek channel. This
is not considered a significant impact and is consistent with the
provisions of the Murrieta Creek Area Drainage Plan and Assessment
District 155.
Yes. Grading may result in an increase in turbidity in local surface water.
This impact is temporary and is not considered significant.
No. Recompaction of soil to mitigate the potential for liquefaction is not
expected to result in a significant impact on the direction or rate of flow
of ground waters.
No. The proposed parcel map will not result in any impact on public
water supplies.

No. Prior to recordation of the proposed parcel map, the applicant shall
obtain a Letter of Map Revision from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency indicating that grading of the site or other
improvements are adequate to ensure that the site will be above the 100
year flood plain elevation.
No. A botanical survey of the site found no sensitive plant species on
the site. Grazing and the introduction of non-native grasses have
previously disturbed the natural native flora on the site.
Maybe. Landscaping of the site may introduce some non-native species.
This is not considered a significant impact.
No. The site is not currently used as crop land.
No. A biology survey of the site did not reveal the presence or any
indications of any species classified as rare or endangered.
Yes. The project will involve a loss of grass land and chaparral which
provides foraging habitat for birds, mammals, and reptiles. In regional
terms, the loss of foraging habitat is an incrementally adverse but non-
significant impact. The biology report recommends the use of native
California shrubs and trees to revegetate graded and open areas in order
to enhance reoccupation of the bird community. Use of native plant life
shall be a condition of approval.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in increased noise levels during
grading. This impact will be temporary and is not considered significant
because the site is not near any noise sensitive land uses.
No. Future development will be reviewed for potential noise impacts,
and land uses which generate severe noise impacts will be prohibited or
required to provide adequate noise mitigation.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not cause new light or glare, and
subsequent development of the site will be subject to standard
conditions prohibiting lighting from impacting adjacent properties and
requiring low-glare sodium vapor lights.
No. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zone and the land
use designation in which the property is located.
No. The project will not involve a substantial increase in the rate of
consumption of natural or non-renewable resources.

No. The proposed parcel map will not involve the use of hazardous
materials or interference with emergency response or evacuation plans.
No. The proposal is not likely to alter the distribution or growth rate of
the population or create a demand for new housing. Future development
of the site will help address the irabalance of local jobs in relation to
existing and approved housing.
Yes. Future development of the site of Parcel Map No. 24085 is
expected to generate 5,340 vehicle trip ends per day. 5, 150 trip ends
per day are expected as a result of development of the site of Parcel
Map No. 24086. The traffic study prepared in conjunction with the
project determined that intersections and roadways in the vicinity will
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service if recommended
improvements are implemented. The following recommended traffic
impact mitigations are incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for
Parcel Map No. 24085. A signing and striping plan shall be designed by
a registered Civil Engineer and approved by the Department of Public
Works and shall be included in the street imporvements plans. Plans for
traffic signals shall be designed by a registered Civil Engineer and
approved by the Department of Public Works for the intersections of
Avenida de Ventas at Diaz Road and Avenida de Ventas at Winchester
Road, and shall be included in the street improverant plans with the
second plan check submittal. The developer shall execute a
Reimbursement Agreement for the design and construction of traffic
signals for the intersections of Winchester Road at Diaz Road,
Winchester Road at Enterprise Circle West and Winchester Road at
Enterprise Circle East. The subdivider shall enter into an agreement with
the City of Temecula to contribute a pro-rata share to the construction
of the extension of Diaz Road to Washington Street/Rancon Center
Boulevard overcrossing, the Overland overcrossing, Winchester Road
restriping to six lanes, and the western bypass corridor as determined by
a focused traffic analysis approved by the Deaprtment of Public Works.
No. Future development of the site will be required to provide adequate
off-street parking as appropriate for the particular land use proposed,
No. The project will have no impact upon existing transportation
systems or upon water, rail, or air traffic.
No. The proposed parcel maps will not alter present patterns of
circulation.

No. The project will not result in a need for new public services. Future
development will generate an increase in the need for public services in
the areas of fire and police protection and road maintenance. Payment
of the required traffic signal mitigation fee, the facility fee, and property
taxes will fund the additional public services.
No, The project will not result in a substantial use or increase in demand
for fuel or other energy sources.
No. Future development of the site will require only hook up to or
service by existing utility systems and will not result in a need for new
or substantially altered utility systems.
Yes. The proposed Parcels Maps will involve the construction of the
Murrieta Creek Channel through the site. The construction of channel
improvements will be in compliance with the recommendations of the
County Flood Control District and will be provided by the developer or by
the developer's participation in an assessment district.
No. The proposed parcel map will not result in any potential health
hazards. Future development will be assessed for potential health
hazards, and mitigations, if needed, shall be required.
No. The proposal will not result in the obstruction of any scenic views,
Future development will be reviewed in order to prevent the construction
of aesthetically offensive structures or site layouts.
No. The site is not currently used for recreational purposes.
Maybe. The site of Parcel Maps 24085 and 24086 contain a recorded
archaeological site (CA-RIV-237) which is beleived to encompass
approximately 70,000 square meters, part of which is outside of the
subject property. During an archaeological surface survey of the site
conducted in June of 1991, many pieces of basalt and quartz debitage,
fragmented manos and metates, fire-affected rocks, pestles,
hammerstores, and fragments of bowls and pottery were observed. The
recommendations of the Archaeological Assessment are to conduct a
surface collection of the site and to excavate a sufficient number of one
cubic meter subsurface units to determine the depth, spatial extent, and
S\STAFFRPT\24086.PM 46

significance of the site. The resulting information shall be used to
determine whether the site is a unique resource for the area and whether
measures to preserve the site or salvage some percentage of the cultural
resources should be implemented. The Archaeological Assessment
includes the recommendation that an archaeologist be consulted for any
future grading activities. These recommendations shall be incorporated
as Conditions of Approval for Parcel Maps 24805 and 24806. In
addition, a Native American representative shall be present during
archaeological excavation and also during grading.
No. The site is not used for any religious or sacred purposes.
No. Although the project will result in a reduction of foraging habitat,
this impact is not considered regionally significant. The inclusion of
native trees and shrubs in the landscaping will provide adequate
mitigations for potential biological impacts due to reduction of foraging
habitat.
No, The long term and cumulative traffic impacts of the project will be
adequately mitigated by the street improvements recommendeG by the
traffic study which are conditions of approval for the proposed parcel
map. Streets and intersections in the vicinity will continue to operate at
acceptable levels of service.
No. The proposed parcel map will not create any health hazards.
Environmental review of future development of the site will address any
potential health hazards and mitigations, if necessary, will be required.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ticant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ticant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.

I find the proposed project MAY have e significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

BACKGROUND:
Tentative Parcel Map 25139 was submitted to the
County on August 15, 1989. The County Land
Development Committee (CLDC) reviewed the
application on September 21, 1989 and requested
clearance letters for the paleontology survey and the
geology and liquefaction reports as well as
clarification of the site's status as an agricultural
preserve. The LDC continued the case on November
2, 1989 pending receipt of updated clearance letters
for the biology, geology, and liquefaction reports and
the need for additional information regarding the
flood plain, slopes, agricultural preserve, review of
the design manual, and a redesign to address
concerns of the County Flood Control District,
The file was transmitted to the City on April 18,
1990. City staff requested a traffic study, landscape
and architecture standards, an updated letter from
the County Flood Control District, and information
regarding slope stability, soil export, archaeological
resources, property boundaries, and the alignment of
Winchester Road.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposal is to create 66 parcels between 0.51
acre and 3.7 acres in size with an average parcel size
of 0.98 acre. There will be an undisturbed 6.8 acre
open space on the southwesterly side of the site in
order to retain some hillside chaparral habitat.
Parcels 58 through 66 will involve substantial cuts
into the hillside and will be separated from the open
space area by slopes over 1 O0 feet high with a slope

ANALYSIS:
ratio of 1.5:1. The site is traversed by a fault
setback zone within which no structures for human
occupancy will be allowed. The easterly side of the
site lies within the Murrieta Creek Channel and is
indicated as a channel easement to the County of
Riverside.
Grading and Slope Stabilitv
The project will entail 1,430,000 cubic yards of cut
and 880,000 cubic yards of fill and will create 1.5:1
cut slopes up to 120 feet high. The project will
involve the export of 550,000 cubic yards of soil
from the site. It shall be a Condition of Approval for
Parcel Map 25139 that information regarding the
number of truckloads, the haul route, the destination
point, and a stockpile permit or an approved grading
plan for the recipient site shall be submitted and haul
route permit obtained from the City prior to issuance
of grading permits. The final disposition of the
export soil will be subject to environmental review in
conjunction with the project which will use the
export soil as fill.
The revised Slope Stability Analysis prepared for this
project states that the cut slopes will be stable under
normal and seismic conditions, provided they are free
of adverse geologic conditions. The Revised Slope
Stability Analysis includes recommendations that an
engineering geologist conduct geological mapping
during grading to verify that the soils and geologic
conditions encountered do not differ significantly
from those assumed in the Slope Stability Analysis.
If significant differences are encountered, buttressing
may be required to stabilize the slope. Cut and fill
slopes should be provided with appropriate surface
drainage and landscaped as soon as possible after
grading. The Tentative Map shows a brow ditch and
bench drain at 30 foot intervals in the cut slope.
The recommendations of the Slope Stability Analysis
shall be Conditions of Approval for Parcel Map
25139.
S\S\25139.TPM 3
Staff has concerns relative to grading on this site.
However, with the absence of policy relative to
grading, Staff's recommendation is to condition the
map in such a way as to initiate the greatest extent
possible, grading impaction mitigation measures
relative to grading are determined in the Conditions
of Approval.
With respect to this issue, the City's General Plan
effort will most likely include policies relative to
grading.
Flood Hazards
A portion of the site is located in the 100 year flood
plain. Measures to remove the project from the 100
year flood plain are listed in the conditions of
approval (see County Flood Control District letter of
July 9, 1990).
Drainaoe
The site is located within the limits of the Murrieta
Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan and
payment of drainage fees is required. All lots are
required to drain toward adjacent streets or an
adequate outlet approved by the City Engineer. On-
site grading shall be designed to perpetuate existing
tributary drainage areas and outlet points, and
development of the subject and adjacent properties
shall be coordinated to ensure that watercourses
remain unobstructed and that storm waters are not
diverted from one watershed to another. The site,
including each phase if phasing occurs, shall be
protected from 100 year tributary storm flows. Off-
site drainage facilities shall be located within
dedicated drainage easements obtained from the
affected property owner(s). Said easements shall be
recorded and a copy submitted to the Flood Control
District prior to map recordation. Drainage facilities
collecting and conveying flows down the steep cut
slopes shall be designed in accordance with the
District's Drainage Standards for high cut slopes
dated November 8, 1990.
S\S\25139.TPM 4
Geologic and Liauefaction Hazards
A fault hazard and subsidence investigation was
prepared for an earlier parcel map application on the
subject property. The report determined that the site
is traversed by an active branch of the Elsinore Fault,
and that the possibility of ground rupture is high in
the vicinity of the fault. The potential for fissuring
and ground subsidence due to water withdrawal are
high in the vicinity of the fault. There is also a
potentially active Pre-Holocene fault which transects
the extreme western portion of the site which will be
maintained as open space. The report recommended
a fault and fissure setback zone along the active
trace of the branch of the Elsinore Fault in which no
structures for human occupancy will be allowed.
Other recommendations included continuation of a
program to monitor ground movement associated
with subsidence and use of at least 5 feet of
recompacted fill and post-tensioned slabs for all
structures within 200 feet of the fault setback zone.
The liquefaction report prepared for an earlier parcel
map on the site determined that the potential for
liquefaction exists on the site. The reports
recommendations included placement of fill on the
lots susceptible to liquefaction or densification of
subsurface alluvium to at least 92% relative
compaction.
The Riverside County Geologist reviewed both
reports and found that they satisfy the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act and
County General Plan Policies regarding geological
hazards. The recommendations of the reports shall
be Conditions of Approval for Parcel Map 25139.
Traffic and Circulation
Future development of the site is expected to
generate 5, 180 vehicle trip ends per day. The traffic
study prepared in conjunction with the project
determined that projected future traffic based on
existing traffic, project generated traffic, and traffic
S\S\25139.TPM 5
generated by other growth in the area will result in
a peak hour level of Service D or better at all
intersections within the scope of the traffic study if
recommended improvements are implemented. The
recommendations include contributing to the
extension of Diaz Road, providing traffic signals at
certain intersections and contributing to the
signalization of other intersections, providing a
signing and striping plan, and contributing to the
construction of the Overland overcrossing and the
restriping Winchester Road to six lanes. These
improvements are incorporated in the Conditions of
Approval.
Additionally, this project, along with PM 25408, will
be constructing the first portion of the western
bypass corridor from the City's northerly boundary at
Douglas Avenue. This portion of the proposed
alignment of the corridor has been reviewed and
approved by the City's Department of Public Work
and found acceptable.
Access
Access to the site will be taken from Winchester
Road and Via Industria. All proposed parcels will
have frontage on and take access from dedicated
streets. Parcels fronting Winchester Road, Diaz
Road, Via Industria, and Cherry Street shall limit
access to joint use access driveways.
Parcel Size and Dimensions
Development standards in the M-SC Zone require a
minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet and an
average width of at least 65 feet where sewers are
available and will be utilized. The proposed parcels
range from 0.51 acre to 1.37 acres and have an
average lot widths of over 1 O0 feet.
S\S\25139.TPM 6
Fossil Resources
The site is located on the fossilferous Pauba
Formation. In accordance with the recommendation
of the San Bernardino County Museum, the
subdivider shall retain a paleontologist to monitor
grading operations, evaluate any fossils encountered
during grading, prepare a report of findings, and
provide for preservation and curatjon of recovered
specimens.
Archaeological Resources
The site of Parcel Map 25139 contains a recorded
archaeological site {CA-RIV-237) which is believed to
encompass approximately 70,000 square meters,
part of which is outside of the subject property.
During an archaeological surface survey of the site
conducted in June of 1991, many pieces of basalt
and quartz debitage, fragmented manos and metares,
fire-affected rocks, pestles, hammerstones, and
fragments of bowls and pottery were observed. The
recommendations of the archaeological assessment
are to conduct a surface collection of the site and to
excavate a sufficient number of one cubic meter
subsurface units to determine the depth, spatial
extent, and significance of the site. The resulting
information shall be used to determine what
additional measures should be implemented to
preserve cultural resources. The archaeological
assessment also includes the recommendation that
an archaeologist be consulted for any future grading
activities. These recommendations shall be
incorporated as Conditions of Approval for Parcel
Map 25139. In addition, a Native American
representative shall be present during the
archaeological excavation and also during grading.
S\S\25139.TPM 7
The property in question also contains another site
(WSP-1) which contains a 3/4 circle rock enclosure.
The site is possibly a late period campsite. A 100%
surface collection, mapping, soils testing, and
subsurface testing by excavating 8-10 cubic meters
of earth is recommended. In this case, testing
procedures are likely to constitute final mitigation.
Biological Imoacts
A biological survey of the site found no sensitive
plant species. Two sensitive bird species were
observed or detected on the site: the Long-eared
Owl and the Grasshopper Sparrow. Neither bird had
an official status as a sensitive species, but both
were listed by experts as declining species. The
Grasshopper Sparrow will be impacted by a
reduction in foraging habitat which is considered a
non-significant but incrementally adverse impact.
Impacts on the Long-eared Owl are more difficult to
assess. Recommended measures to reduce habitat
impacts are maintenance of an undisturbed open
space area on the western side of the site and
enhancement of Murrieta Creek riparian corridor by
planting Cottonwood and Sycamore trees adjacent to
Diaz Road. The tentative map indicates an open
space area on the western side of the site. The
recommended planting of Cottonwood and Sycamore
trees adjacent to Diaz Road may conflict with the
need to use more drought resistant, low maintenance
type of vegetation with less invasive root systems
which would be less detrimental to public
improvements. Appropriate alternatives to
cottonwood or sycamore trees should be identified
and planted.
Water and Sewer Availability
A will serve letter from the Rancho Water District
indicates that water and sewer service are available
to the site upon completion of financial arrangements
and satisfaction of the District's other requirements.
S\S\25139.TPM 8
Aaricultural Preserve Status
The site is designated as an Agricultural Preserve.
Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act would
normally preclude approval of a parcel map creating
parcels of insufficient size for agricultural use.
However, Section 66474.4 (d.3.) exempts lands
subject to a Notice of Non-Renewal indicating that
the Agricultural Preserve contract is due to expire
within three years. The County Assessor's Office
has informed City Staff that a Notice of Non-
Renewal indicates that the contract for the property
in question is due to expire on January 1, 1992.
The same exemption is provided in Section 7.1
(H.3.b) of Ordinance 460.
Lot Line Adjustments and Street Realignments
The formation of Assessment District 155 included
a realignment of the right of way for the future
extension of Winchester Road west of Diaz Road.
Since the centerline of the right of way constituted
the boundary between properties, the realignment
resulted in changes to property boundaries. The
subject Parcel Map was affected by a realignment of
Winchester Road adjacent to Tentative Parcel Maps
25408 and 24086. In order to prevent discrepancies
in the legal descriptions of the property at the item
of recordation, staff has required that the applicant
and other affected property owners eliminate the
discrepancies by filing Lot Line Adjustments, Street
Vacations, and offers of Rededication reflecting the
new alignment of Winchester Road and the resulting
changes in property boundaries. These requirements
must be completed prior to map recordation.

SOUTHWEST AREA PLAN AND
ZONING CONSISTENCY: The proposed parcels conform to the development
standards of the M-SC Zone. The M-SC Zone is
consistent with the SWAP designation of Light
Industrial. There is a reasonable probability that the
project will be consistent with the future General
Plan in that the project is consistent with existing
and approved developments and subdivisions in the
area.
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
The Initial Study prepared for Parcel Map 25139
indicates that the project will not result in any
environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated to
a level of insignificance, and a Negative Declaration
is recommended.
FINDINGS:
The proposed parcel map will not have a
significant negative impact on the
environment, as determined in the Initial Study
performed for the project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the General
Plan being prepared at this time in that the
proposed commercial - industrial subdivision is
consistent with the SWAP Light Industrial
Land Use Designation, the Manufacturing -
Service Commercial Zone, and existing land
uses in the vicinity.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with, the future
adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the proposed commercial/industrial parcel map
is consistent with existing and approved uses
and subdivision's in the vicinity.
S\S%25139,TPM
The proposed use complies with State
planning and zoning law. The project
conforms to the current zoning for the site
and to Ordinance No. 460, Schedule E.
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lots, access, and density.
The design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat as determined in the
Initial Study prepared for this project.
The design of the subdivision is consistent
with the State Map Act in regard to future
passive energy control opportunities in that all
parcels have adequate southern exposure.
All lots have acceptable access to existing and
proposed dedicated right-of-ways which are
open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed project.

This is a proposal to divide 97.3 acres into commercial parcels
located south of the intersection of Diaz Road and Cherry Street.
This property is located adjacent to Murrieta Creek and approxi-
mately one half of the parcels are located within the 100 year flood
plain limits of the creek.
The District is currently developing a final design for improvement
of Murrieta Creek with the assistance of a seven member citizens'
committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Because of the
complexity of the hydraulic and environmental factor involved, and
to ensure orderly development, the District will design the entire
Murrieta Creek improvement. Piecemeal design of portions of this
major regional flood control project is not acceptable to the
District. Following development of an acceptable design, the
District intends to pursue a funding mechanism for the required
improvements, probably by means of an aesessment district over the
flood plain.
The right of way needed for Murrieta Creek in this area is 250 feet
each side of the centerline. This includes a 50-foot habitat
mitigation strip on each side which wilt be returned if it is not
needed.
This property is also affected by the runoff which approaches it
from the hills to the eouthwest. High, steep cut slopes up to 116
feet are proposed here which intersect flows from several canyons.
These canyons can produce debris laden flows which must be safely
and reliably collected and conveyed down the steep slopes to ensure
protection of the proposed project. The collection/conveyance
system for these slopes as proposed is not sufficient to meet the
District's concerns.

Gentlemen:
We have reviewed your report entitled "Phase I Preliminary Geotechnical
Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential for Parcel Map 21502, Rancho California,
Riverside County, CA," dated June 23, 1988.
Your report determined that the potential for liquefaction exists on the site
for an earthquake of 6.0 magnitude and horizontal ground acceleration of 0.369.
The site is within one mile of the Wildomar fault. The zone of liquefaction is
shown on Plate 1, Geotechnical Map of your report.
Your report recommended that one of the following alternatives should be
considered.
Placement of fill (approximately 10 feet in thickness total to an
approximate elevation of 1,033 feet m.s.1} on Lots 48 through 51 (
Tentative Parcel Map 21502} to increase the overburden pressure. Based
on the preliminary plans, the remaining lots identified as in the
liquefiable zone will have between 15 feet to 28 feet of fill placed.
This appears to be of adequate depth for mitigating the liquefaction
potential.
Densification of the alluvium between 20 feet to 40 feet of the
subsurface cohesionless material to at least 92 percent relative
compaction as determined by ASDTM D1557-78, by vibrofl otation dynamic
compaction, or other techniques.
3. Placement of the structures on piles to bypass the liquefiable zone.
4. Utilizing post tensioned slabs for the proposed structures.

Alternatives I and 2 will reduce the potential for liquefaction of the
cohesionless material found in borings B-4 and B-5. Alternatives 3 and 4 will
not mitigate the liquefaction potential, but will allow measures for mitigation
should liquefaction occur.
It is our opinion that the report was prepared in a competent manner and
satisfies the additional information requested under the California
Environmental Quality Act review and the Riverside County Comprehensive General
Plan. Final approval of the report is hereby given.
We recommend that the following note be placed on the Parcel Map prior to its
recordation: "County Geologic Report No. 527 was prepared for this property on
June 23, 1988 by Leighton and Associates and is on file at the Riverside County
Planning Department. The specific items of interest are liquefaction and
seismic design of structures. These items affect Parcels 1 through 9, 18

The recommendations made in your report for mitigation of liquefaction
potential shall be adhered to in the design and construction of this project.

County Geologic Report No. 527 F

Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the fault hazard aspects of your report entitled "Geotechnical
Report for a Phase II Fissure and Subsidence Investigation and Phase III
Geotechnical Investigation for Parcel Map No. 21507, Rancho California,
Riverside County, CA," dated August 29, 1988, your revised report dated
November 17, 1988, and your response to County review dated November 17, 1988.
Your report determined that:
A previously unmapped, active branch of the E1sinore fault zone was
encountered in exploratory trenches excavated on this project. This branch
is tentatively being called the "Murrieta Creek Fault." Therefore, the
possibility of damage due to ground rupture is high in the vicinity of this
fault.
The Willard Branch of the Elsinore Fault Zone transects the extreme western
portion of the property in a northeasterly to southwesterly direction and
was determined to be potentially active or Pre-Holocene.
A peak bedrock acceleration of 0.61g could occur at the site should a
magnitude 6.0 earthquake occur along the Wildomar fault, located 3200 feet
northeast.
4. No landslide deposits were encountered nor are any ancient landslides known
to exist at the site.
5. The eastern one-third of the site is located within the 100 year flood
plain.
6. The possibility of seiches, tsunamis and inundation due to failure of large
water storage facilities is considered very low.

Leighton and Associates - 2 - January 19, 1989
(Revised November 3, 1989)
A zone of open fissuring approximately 20 feet wide was observed within
the alluvium in the exploratory trenching. The potential for fissuring
and ground subsidence due to ground water withdrawal is considered to
be high in the vicinity of the "Murrieta Creek fault."
Your report recommended that:
A fault and fissure setback zone should be established along the active
trace of the "Murrieta Creek fault" encountered on the site. The
setback zone should be established 50 feet from the furthest limits of
faulting. Within the fault setback zone, structures for human
occupancy may not be constructed. The location of the fault setback
zone is shown on the Geotechnical Map, Plate 1 in your November 17,
1988 report.
A monitoring program has been initiated at the site to evaluate the
amount of ground movement associated with subsidence and possible
variations in the depth to groundwater. The readings from this
monitoring program will continue to be taken on a weekly basis until
such time that site construction and development precludes procutting
additional data, or the readings remain substantially unchanged.
Proposed structures within 200 feet of the fault setback zone should be
constructed with post-tensioned floor slabs to help mitigate potential
problems with ground cracking. The post-tensioned slabs should be
constructed in accordance with the recommendations of a qualified
structural engineer. The engineer should design the slabs to withstand
a i inch differential settlement in 5 horizontal feet. In addition,
all building pads within 200 feet of the fault setback zone should have
a 5 foot minimum fill below the pad. All cut lots and all fill lots
with less than 5 feet of fill will need to be overexcavated and
recompacted to provide the 5 foot minimum. This special foundation
zone is shown on the Geotechnical Maps, Plate I in your report.
4. All surface runoff should be collected and directed offsite.
Uncompacted, exploratory trench backfill should be completely removed
and recompacted prior to placement of fills, where exposed at the pad
finished grade or within 10 feet in depth from the pad finished grade
to the top of the trenches.
It is our opinion that the report was prepared in a competent manner and
satisfies the additional information requested under the California
Environmental Quality Act review and the Riverside County Comprehensive General
Plan.
We recommend that the following conditions be satisfied before final
recordation of the map or issuance of any County permits associated with this
project:
Leighton and Associates - 3 - January 19, 1989
(Revised November 3, 1989}
The Recommended Fault Setback Limits shown on the Geotechnical Map,
Plate 1 in the report shall be delineated on the Environmental
Constraints Sheet (E.C.S.}. The areas within the Recommended Fault
Setback Limits shall be labeled "FAULT HAZARD AREA."
2. The following notes be placed on the E.C.S.:
(A)
"This property is affected by earthquake faulting. Structures
for human occupancy shall not be allowed in the Fault Hazard
Area. This constraint affects parcel numbers 8, 9, 10, 18, 19,
39, 40, 46 and 47."
(b)
"County Geologic Report No. 527F was prepared for this property
on November 17, 1988 by Leighton and Associates, and is on file
at the Riverside County Planning Department. Specific items of
concern are as follows: earthquake faulting, fissuring and
ground subsidence, seismic design of structures, flooding, and
uncompacted trench backfill."
Notes 2(a) and 2(b) above shall also be placed on the final Parcel Map
with the following addition to Note No. 2(a) "...as shown on the
accompanying Environmental Constraints Sheet, the original of which is
on file at the office of the Riverside County Surveyor."
A copy of the final map and Environmental Constraints Sheet shall be

Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant.)
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse affects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Yes Maybe N.o

III Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation
1.a,b,c.
Yes. The project will entail 1,430,000 cubic yards of cut and 880,000
cubic yards of fill and will create 1.5:1 cut slopes up to 120 feet high.
The revised Slope Stability Analysis prepared for this project states that
the cut slopes will be stable against deep-seated failure, arcuate failure
under seismic conditions, and surficial failure provided it is free of
adverse geologic conditions. The Revised Slope Stability Analysis
includes recommendations that an engineering geologist conduct
geological mapping during grading to verify that the soils and geologic
conditions encountered do not differ significantly from those assumed in
the Slope Stability Analysis. If significant differences are encountered,
buttressing may be required to stabilize the slope. Cut and fill slopes
should be provided with appropriate surface drainage and landscaped as
soon as possible after grading. The Tentative Map shows a brow ditch
and bench drain at 30 foot intervals in the cut slope.
The project will involve the export of 550,000 cubic yards of soil from
the site. It shall be a Condition of Approval for Parcel Map 25139 that
information regarding the number of truckloads, the haul route, the
destination point, and a stockpile permit or an approved grading plan for
the recipient site shall be submitted and haul route permit obtained from
the City prior to issuance of grading permits. The final disposition of the
export soil will be subject to environmental review in conjunction with
the project which will use the export soil as fill.
1.d.
No. There are no unique geologic or physical features on the site.
1.6.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted.
The wind erosion impact is considered high and significant but will be
mitigated through retention of natural vegetation whenever feasible, and
use of watering trucks and landscaping disturbed areas after grading.
After construction of the project, water run-off is likely to increase due
to the addition of impermeable surfaces. Appropriate drainage control
devices will have to be approved through the Engineering Department
and will have to be designed in accordance with Temecula's standards
and the Conditions of Approval.
1.f.
No. The subject site is not located near any channel, lake or ocean that
would be impacted by deposition or erosion as a result of this project.
Drainage improvements and landscaping will prevent soil erosion.

3.f,g.
Yes. Portions of the site are susceptible to liquefaction and the site is
traversed by an earthquake fault. Liquefaction mitigation measures were
described above in item 1 b. In accordance with the requirements of
state law, a restricted use zone based on the geology report is shown on
the map. The restricted use zone represents a setback from the
earthquake fault on the site, and no structures for human occupancy will
be permitted within the restricted use zone.
Groundshaking hazards to buildings outside of the restricted use zone are
addressed by the requirements of the Uniform Building Code.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not result in any impacts to air quality
or the climate. Subsequent development proposals will be assessed for
potential impacts to air quality and mitigation measures will be required
if necessary.
No. The portion of the property necessary for the future construction of
Murrieta Creek flood control facilities is indicated on the Tentative Parcel
Map as a County Channel Easement. There will be no change in the
course or direction of water in Murrieta Creek.
Yes. The proposed Parcel Map will result in changes in the amount of
surface run-off. Improvement of the site will provide for adequate
drainage facilities as approved by the City Engineer.
No. The project will result in minor, localized redirection of flood waters
to the extent necessary to elevate the site above the 1 O0 year flood
plain elevation, but the overall course and flow of floodwaters will not
be changed.
Maybe. Grading and future development of the site may increase the
amount of surface run-off flowing into the Murrieta Creek channel. This
is not considered a significant impact and is consistent with the
provisions of the Murrieta Creek Area Drainage Plan and Assessment
District 155.
Yes. Grading may result in an increase in turbidity in local surface water.
This impact is temporary and is not considered significant.
No. Recompaction of soil to mitigate the potential for liquefaction is not
expected to result in a significant impact on the direction or rate of flow
of ground waters.

No. A botanical survey of the site found no sensitive plant species on
the site.
Maybe. Landscaping of the site may introduce some non-native species.
This is not considered a significant impact.
No. The site is not currently used as crop land.
Maybe. Three grasshopper sparrows and evidence of breeding by the
Iong-eared owl were observed on the site during the biological survey of
the site. Although neither species had any official status when the
biology report was written, they have been listed by the Audobon
Society as declining species. The recommended mitigation is to retain
an intact open area on the west side of the site. T' =~ Tentative Parcel
Map shows a 6.8 acre open space area on the west side of the site.
Yes. The project will involve a los of grass land and chaparral which
provides foraging habitat for birds, mammals, and reptiles. In regional
terms the loss of foraging habitat is an incrementally adverse but non-
significant impact which will be mitigated by the measures described
above in section 5b.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in increased noise levels during
grading. This impact will be temporary and is not considered significan~
because the site is not near any noise sensitive land uses.
No. Future development proposals will be reviewed for potential noise
impacts and land uses which generate severe noise will be prohibited or
required to provide adequate noise mitigation.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not cause new light or glare, and
subsequent development of the site will be subject to standard
conditions prohibiting lighting from impacting adjacent properties and
requiring low-glare sodium rapor lights.

No. The proposal is not likely to alter the distribution or growth rate of
the population or create a demand for new housing. Future development
of the site will help address the imbalance of local jobs in relation to
existing and approved housing.
Yes. Future development of the site is expected to generate
approximately 5, 180 vehicle trip ends per day. Via Industria is part of
a western corridor bypass road which will alter present patterns of
circulation. The purpose of the by pass road is to relieve congestion on
existing streets. The traffic study prepared in conjunction with the
project determined that intersections and roadways in the vicinity will
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service if recommended
improvements are implemented, and Via Industria will help to mitigate
traffic impacts on Winchester Road approaching I-15. Recommended
improvements include the extension of Diaz Road to the City limits,
traffic signals at the intersections of Winchester Road and Enterprise
Circle, Winchester Road and Diaz Road, Via Industria and Cherry Street,
Diaz Road and Winchester Road north, and "A" Street and Diaz Road.
These improvements shall be Conditions of Approval.
No. Future development of the site will be required to provide adequate
off-street parking as appropriate for the particular land use proposed.
No. The project will have no impact upon existing transportation
systems or upon water, rail, or air traffic.
No. The streets and intersections in the vicinity will continue to operate

Yes. The proposed Parcel Maps will involve the construction of the
Murrieta Creek channel through the site. The construction of channel
improvements will be in compliance with the recommendations of the
County Flood Control District and will be provided by the developer or by
the developer's participation in an assessment district.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not result in any potential health

the construction of aesthetically offensive structures or site lay outs.
Cut slopes will be landscaped as soon as possible after grading.
No. The site is not currently usecl for recreational purposes.
Maybe. The site of Parcel Map 25139 contains a recorded
archaeological site (CA-RIV-237) which is believed to encompass
approximately 70,000 square meters, part of which is out site of the
subject property. During an archaeological surface survey of the site
conducted in June of 1991, many pieces of basalt and quartz debitage,
fragmented manos and metares, fire-affected rocks, pestles,
hammerstones, and fragments of bowls and pottery were observed. The
recommendations of the Archaeological Assessment are to conduct a
surface collection of the site and to excavate a sufficient number of one
cubic meter subsurface units to determine the depth, spatial extent, and
significance of the site. The resulting information shall be used to
determine whether the site is a unique resource for the area and whether
measures to preserve the site or salvage some percentage of the cultural
resources should be implemented. The Archaeological Assessment also
20.d.

includes the recommendation that an archaeologist be consulted for any
future grading activities. These recommendations shall be incorporated
as Conditions of Approval for Parcel Map 25139. In addition, a Native
American representative shall be present during the archaeological
excavation and also during grading.
The property in question also contains another site (WSP-1) which
contain a 3/4 circle rock enclosure. The site is possibly a late period
campsite. A 100% surface collection, mapping, soils testing, and
subsurface testing by excavating 8-10 cubic meters of earth are
recommended. In this case, testing procedures are likely to constitute
final mitigation.
No. The site is not used for any religious or sacred purposes.
No. Although the project will result in a reduction or foraging habitat,
this impact is not considered regionally significant. The 6.8 acres of
undisturbed open space on the westerly side of the site for potential
biological impacts due to reduction of foraging habitat.
No. The long term and cumulative traffic impacts of the project will be
adequately mitigated by the street improvements recommended by the
traffic study which are Conditions of Approval for the proposed Parcel
Map. Streets and intersections in the vicinity will continue to operate at
acceptable levels of service.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not create any health hazards.
Environmental review of future development of the site will address any
potential health hazards and mitigations, if necessary, will be required.

Tentative Parcel Map 25408 was submitted to the
County on November 14, 1989. The application
was reviewed by the County Land Development
Committee on December 12, 1989 and was
continued pending submittal of the following
information: a traffic study, biological and
paleontological surveys, soil and liquefaction reports,
a slope stability report, and a Planned Industrial
Development design manual.
Parcel Map 25408 was transmitted to the City on
May 1, 1990. City staff requested a traffic study
and information regarding property boundaries, the
alignment of Winchester Road, slope stability, soil
export, archaeological resources, and landscape and
architecture standards.
The proposal is to create 20 parcels ranging in size
from 0.95 acre to 1.39 acres with a total gross area
of 36.21 acres. The site is zoned M-SC,
Manufacturing - Service Commercial. A 6.52 acre
area located in the southwesterly portion of the site
will be maintained as an open space area comprising
some undisturbed land and some 1.5: 1 cut slopes 80
to 100 feet in height.
Grading
The project will involve 1,800,000 cubic yards of
cut, 500,000 cubic yards of fill and 1,300,000 cubic
yards of soil export. The Engineering Department
S\Staffrpt\25408.PM 2
Conditions of Approval include the requirement to
obtain a haul route permit and provide information
regarding truck loads, the proposed haul route,
destination site and stockpile permits and/or
approved grading plan at the recipient site with the
property owner's permission. These requirements
shall be satisfied prior to issuance of grading permits.
Staff has concerns relative to grading on this site.
However, with the absence of policy relative to
grading, Staff's recommendation is to condition the
map in such a way as to mitigate, the greatest
extent possible, grading impacts of this project.
Mitigation measures relative to grading are contained
in the project Conditions of Approval.
With respect to this issue, the City's General Plan
effort will most likely include policies relative to
grading.
Slope Stability
The cut slopes at the southwesterly side of the site
are indicated on the tentative map with slope ratios
of 1.5:1. The revised slope stability analysis
prepared for this project states that the cut slopes
will be stable under normal and seismic conditions,
provided it is free of adverse geologic conditions.
The revised slope stability analysis included
recommendations that an engineering geologist
conduct geological mapping during grading to verify
that the soils and geologic conditions encountered do
not differ significantly from those assumed in the
slope stability analysis. If significant differences are
encountered, buttressing may be required to stabilize
the slope. Cut and fill slopes should be provided
with appropriate surface drainage and landscaped as
soon as possible after grading. The Tentative Map
shows a brow ditch and bench drain at 30 foot
intervals in the cut slope. The recommendations of
the slope stability analysis are Conditions of
Approval for the Tentative Parcel Map
S\Steffrpt\25408 .PM 3
Traffic and Circulation
Future development of the site is expected to
generate 1,730 vehicle trip ends per day. The traffic
study prepared in conjunction with the project
determined that projected future traffic based on
existing traffic, project generated traffic, and traffic
generated by other growth in the area will result in
a peak hour level of Service D or better at all
intersections within the scope of the traffic study if
recommended improvements are implemented. The
recommendations include contributing to the
extension of Diaz Road, providing traffic signals at
certain intersections and contributing to the
signalization of other intersections, providing a
signing and striping plan, and contributing to the
construction of the Overland overcrossing and the
restriping Winchester Road to six lanes. These
improvements are incorporated in the Conditions of
Approval.
Additionally, this project, along with PM 25139, will
be constructing the first portion of the western
bypass corridor from the City's northerly boundary at
Douglas Avenue. This portion of the proposed
alignment of the corridor has been reviewed and
approved by the City's Department of Public Works
and found acceptable.
Access
Access to the site will be taken from Winchester
Road and Via Industria. All proposed parcels will
have frontage on and take access from dedicated
streets. Parcels fronting Via Industria shall limit
access to joint use access driveways as approved by
the Department of Public Works.
S\Staffrpt~2S4OB.PM 4
Parcel Size and Dimensions
Development standards in the M-SC zone require a
minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet and an
average width of at least 65 feet where sewers are
available and will be utilized. The proposed parcels
range from 0.95 acre to 1.41 acres and have
average lot widths of over 100 feet.
Drainage
The site is located within the limits of the Murrieta
Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan and
drainage fees shall be paid. All lots shall be graded
to drain to the street or an adequate outlet as
approved by the City Engineer. Drainage facilities
must be designed to covey 1 O0 year storm flows,
including 100 year storm runoff tributary to the site,
to Murrieta Creek. Street and lot grading will
perpetuate existing natural drainage patterns.
Evidence of a viable drainage facility maintenance
mechanism must be submitted to the County Flood
Control District prior to final map recordation.
Fossil and Cultural Resources
The archaeological assessment states that the site
has low potential to be a small food processing site
which could address limited archaeological research
questions and recommends a 100% surface
collection, soils testing, subsurface testing and
mapping and 3 to 5 cubic meters of excavation.
The site is located on the fossiliferous Pauba
Formation. In accordance with the recommendation
of the San Bernardino County Museum, the
subdivider shall retain a paleontologist to provide
monitoring during excavation as well as recovery,
reporting, and preservation of specimens found
during grading.
S\Staffrpt\25408 .PM 5
Biological ImPacts
The project will result in loss of grassland and
chaparral which typically provides foraging habitat
for raptors, sparrows, rabbits, gophers, ground
squirrels and reptiles, The only sensitive vertebrate
observed during the biological survey was a golden
eagle. The biologist recommended that a portion of
the site abutting the up slope chaparral be
maintained in a natural state in order to preserve
some foraging habitat. Part of the open space slope
at the southwesterly side of the site will be
maintained in a natural condition.
Although the Biological Survey of the site failed to
disclose the presence or signs of Stephens Kangaroo
Rats, the Conditions of Approval require the
developer to submit a report by a certified Stephens
Kangaroo Rat Specialist prior to issuance of grading
permits. If any Stephens Kangaroo rats inhabit the
site, a l O(a) permit for incidental take must be
obtained prior to issuance of grading permits.
The only plant specimen on the site worthy of note
in the biological report is an adolescent Engelmann
oak. The oak tree shall be preserved, relocated or
replaced at a 10 to 1 ratio or as approved by the
Planning Director.
Landscape and Architectural Standards
The applicant has provided a set of landscape and
architectural standards to ensure that development
of the site maintains a consistent level of quality.
Conformity with the landscape and architectural
standards will be required of all future development
on the site. The landscape and architectural
standards shall be incorporated by reference into the
project's Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions.

SOUTHWEST AREA PLAN
AND ZONING
CONSISTENCY:
Water and Sewer Availability
The Rancho California Water District has an
interagency agreement with the Eastern Municipal
Water District to provide sewer service to the area in
which the site is located.
Water and sewer service will be available from the
Rancho California Water District upon completion of
financial arrangements between the property owner
and the District.
Lot Line Adiustments and Street Realignments
The formation of Assessment District 155 included
a realignment of the right of way for the future
extension of Winchester Road west of Diaz Road.
Since the centerline of the right of way constituted
the boundary between properties, the realignment
resulted in changes to property boundaries. The
subject parcel map was affected by a realignment of
Winchester Road. In order to prevent discrepancies
in the legal descriptions of the property at the time
of recordation, staff has required that the applicant
and other affected property owners eliminate the
discrepancies by filing lot line adjustments, street
vacations, and offers of rededication reflecting the
new alignment of Winchester Road and the resulting
changes in property boundaries. These requirements
must be met prior to final map recordation.
The proposed parcels conform to the development
standards of the M-SC Zone. The M-SC Zone is
consistent with the Light Industrial Land Use
Designation in which the site is located. There is a
reasonable probability that the project will be
consistent with the Future General Plan in that the
project is consistent with existing development and
approved subdivisions in the area.
S\Staffrpt\25408.PM 7
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
The Initial Study prepared for Parcel Map 25408
indicates that the project will not result in any
environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated to
a level of insignificance and a Negative Declaration
in recommended.
The proposed parcel map will not have a
significant negative impact on the
environment, as determined in the Initial Study
performed for the project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the Future
General Plan being prepared at this time in
that the proposed commercial-industrial
subdivision is consistent with the Swap Light
Industrial Land Use Designation, the
Manufacturing-Service Zone and existing land
uses in the vicinity.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with, the future
adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the proposed commercial/industrial parcel map
is consistent with existing and approved uses
and subdivisions in the vicinity.
The proposed use complies with State
planning and zoning law. The project
conforms to the current zoning for the site
and to Ordinance No. 460, Schedule E.
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configurations, access and
density.

general plan, if all of the following requirements are met:
(1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the
preparation of the general plan.
S\Staffrpt\25408,PM 11
(2) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and
taking other actions, including the issuance of building
permits, each of the following:
(a)
There is a reasonable probability that the land
use or action proposed will be consistent with
the general plan proposal being considered or
studied or which will be studied within a
reasonable time.
(b)
There is little or no probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
adopted general plan if the proposed use or
action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan.
(c)
The proposed use or action complied with all
other applicable requirements of state law and
local ordinances.
B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the
Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted
prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the
southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within the
boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as its
General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely fashion
with the preparation of its General Plan.

SWAP and meets the requirements set forth in Section 65360 of the
Government Code, to wit:
(1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with a
preparation of the general plan.
(2) The Planning Commission finds, in recommending
approval of projects and taking other actions, including the
issuance of building permits, pursuant to this title, each of
the following:
(a)
There is reasonable probability that Tentative
Parcel Map No. 25408 proposed will be
consistent with the general plan proposal
being considered or studied or which will be
studied within a reasonable time.
S\Staffrpt\25408.PM 12
(b)
There is little or no probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
adopted general plan if the proposed use or
action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan.
(c)
The proposed use or action complies with all
other applicable requirements of state law and
local ordinances.

460, no subdivision may be approved unless the following findings are
made:
a)
That the proposed land division is consistent
with applicable general and specific plans.
b)
That the design or improvement of the
proposed land division is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans.
c)
That the site of the proposed land division is
physically suitable for the type of

That the site of the proposed land division is
physically suitable for the proposed density of
the development.
e)
That the design of the proposed land division
or proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and unavoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
f)
That the design of the proposed land division
or the type of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
g)
That the design of the proposed land division
or 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 land division. A land
division may be approved if it is found that
S\Staffrpt\25408.PM 13
alternate easements for access or for use will
be provided and that they will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the
public. This subsection shall apply only to
easements of record or to easements
established by judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(2) The Planning Commission in recommending approval
of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map, makes the following findings, to

performed for the project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
project will be consistent with the Future
General Plan being prepared at this time in
that the proposed commercial-industrial
subdivision is consistent with the Swap Light
Industrial Land Use Designation, the
Manufacturing-Service Zone and existing land
uses in the vicinity.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to, or interference with, the future
adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the proposed commercial/industrial parcel map
is consistent with existing and approved uses
and subdivisions in the vicinity.
The proposed use complies with State
planning and zoning law. The project
conforms to the current zoning for the site
and to Ordinance No. 460, Schedule E.
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configurations, access and
density.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re: Parcel Map 25408
Amended No. 1
This is a proposal to divide 40 acres for manufacturing and com-
mercial use in the Murrieta area. The site is located on the
northwest corner of Winchester Road and Calle Consumidor.
The site lies at the base of steep hills. Several natural water-
courses are tributary to the southwest property line. The
developer proposes to collect offsite flows tributary to Lot 8 in
a storm drain. The storm drain as proposed would need to be con-
structed to Murrieta Creek by this development or by Assessment
District 155.
Storm flows tributary to Lot 6 and Lot 7 would be collected in
storm drains and outletted to the street. This conflicts with
the approved Assessment District 155 storm drain plans which
would convey the offsite runoff to the storm drain in Calle
Consumidor. The assessment district plans will need to be amen-
ded to reflect this map. A storm drain in Winchester Road would
collect the street flows and outlet to Murrieta Creek.
Grading shown on the tentative map would require a considerable
amount of offsite grading on adjacent properties. The grading
proposed does not agree with the approved Assessment District 155
plans.
Following are the District's recommendations:
This parcel map is located within the limits of the
Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan for
which drainage fees have been adopted by the Board.
Drainage fees shall be paid ~s set forth under the provi-
sions of the "Rules and Regulations for Administration of
Area Drainage Plans", amended February 16, 1988:
Drainage fees shall be paid to the Transportation
Commissioner as part of the filing for record of the
subdivision final map or parcel map, or if the
recording of a final parcel map is waived, drainage
fees shall be paid as a condition of the waiver prior
to recording a certificate of compliance evidencing
the waiver of the parcel map; or
Riverside County
Planning Department
Re: Parcel Map 25408
Amended No. 1
-2- May 1, 1990
At the option of the land divider, upon filing a re-
quired affidavit requesting deferment of the payment
of fees, the drainage fees may be paid to the Build-
ing Director at the time of issuance of a grading
permit or building permit for each approved parcel,
whichever may be first obtained after the recording
of the subdivision final map or parcel map; provided
however, this option to defer the fees may not be
exercised for any parcel where grading or structures
have been initiated on the parcel within the prior 3
year period, or permits for either activity have been
issued on that parcel which remain active.
Provisions should be made to collect the 100 year offsite
runoff tributary to the site and, with onsite runoff,
safely convey it to Murrieta Creek. This should be done
by either this development or by amended Assessment
District 155.
Evidence of a viable maintenance mechanism should be
submitted to the District and County for review and
approval prior to recordation of the final map. In this
case, this will probably be a property owners
association.
The property's street and lot grading should be designed
in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural
drainage patterns with respect to tributary drainage
area, outlet points and outlet conditions, otherwise, a
drainage easement should be obtained from the affected
property owners for the release of concentrated or di-
verted storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage
easement should be submitted to the District for review
prior to the recordation of the final map.
Temporary erosion control measures should be implemented
immediately following rough grading to prevent deposition
of debris onto downstream properties or drainage
facilities.
Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions should be
designed to convey the tributary 100 year storm flows.
Additional emergency escape should also be provided.
The 10 year storm flow should be contained within the
curb and the 100 year storm flow should be contained
within the street right of way. When either of these
criteria is exceeded, additional drainage facilities
should be installed.
Riverside County
Planning Department
Re: Parcel Map 25408
Amended No. 1

8. All lots should be graded to drain to the adjacent street
or an adequate outlet.
Offsite drainage facilities should be located within
dedicated drainage easements obtained from the affected
property owners. The documents should be recorded and a
copy submitted to the District prior to recordation of
the final map.
10.
Onsite drainage facilities located outside of road right
of way should be contained within drainage easements
shown on the final map. A note should be added to the
final map stating, "Drainage easements shall be kept free
of buildings and obstructions"
11.
A copy of the improvement plans, grading plans and final
map along with supporting hydrologic and hydraulic cal-
culations should be submitted to the District via the
Transportation Department for review and approval prior
to recordation of the final map. Grading plans should be
approved prior to issuance of grading permits.

RE: Tentative Parcel Map 25408
Slope Stability Report No. 230
The following report has been reviewed relative to slope stability
at the subject site:
"GeotechnicalAnalysis of Slope Stability, Tentative Parcel Map No.
25408, ±40 Acre Site, Proposed Industrial/Commercial Development,
Winchester Road, Temecula, Riverside County, CA," by Leighton and
Associates, dated March 8, 1990, and Response to County Review
Letter, by Leighton and Associates, dated April 5, 1990.
This report determined that:
1. Cut and fill slopes are planned at 2:1 (horizontal:
vertical) with maximum heights of 20 and 80 feet,
respectively.
2. Fill and fill-over-cut slopes will be stable
against both deep-seated failure and su~ficial
failure.
Proposed cut slopes will expose fanglomerate facies
of the Pauba formation.
4. Proposed cut slopes should be grossly and
surficially stable under both static and seismic
conditions.
This report recommended that:
Cut slopes shall be mapped by an engineering
geologist during grading to verify the soil and
geologic conditions.
Cut and fill slopes shall be provided with
appropriate surface drainage features and
landscaped with drought-tolerant vegetation as soon
as possible after grading.
Berms shall be provided at the top of fill slopes
and brow ditches shall be constructed at the top of
cut slopes.
4. Lot drainage shall be directed such that surface
runoff on the slope face is minimized.
The outer portion of fill slopes shall be either
overbuilt by 2 feet (minimum) and trimmed back to
the finished slope or compacted in increments of 5
feet (maximum) by a sheepsfoot roller as the fill
is placed and then trackwalked to achieve the final
configuration.
This report satisfies the General Plan requirement for a slope
stability report. The recommendations made in this report shall be
adhered to in the design and construction of this project.

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant.)
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Yes Maybe No

Ill Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation
1.a,b,c
Yes. The project will involve 1,800,000 cubic yards of cut and 500,000
cubic yard of fill and will create 80-100 foot high 1.5:1 cut slopes in the
southwesterly portion of the site.
The Slope Stability Analysis prepared for this project states that the
proposed cut slopes will be stable against deep seated failure, arcuate
failure under seismic conditions, and surficial failure provided it is free of
adverse geologic conditions. The Analysis recommends that an
engineering geologist conduct geological mapping of the slopes during
grading to verify that soils and geological conditions encountered during
grading do not significantly differ from the assumptions of the Slope
Stability Analysis. If significant differences are found, buttressing may
be required to stabilize the slope. Cut and fill slopes should be provided
with appropriate surface drainage and landscaped with drought tolerant
vegetation as soon as possible after grading. The Tentative Map
indicates bench drains at 30 foot intervals in the cut slope. All fill slopes
have a slope ratio of 2:1 and should be stable due to their limited
height.
The project will involve exporting 1,300,000 cubic yards of earth from
the site. It shall be a Condition of Approval for Parcel Map 25408 that
information regarding the number of truckloads, the haul route, the
destination point, and a stock pile permit or an approved grading plan for
the recipient site shall be submitted and a haul route permit obtained
from the City prior to issuance of grading permits. The final disposition
of the export soil will be subject to environmental review in conjunction
with the project which will use the export soil as fill.
1.d.
No. There are no unique geologic or physical features on the site.
1.e.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed areas are replanted.
The wind erosion impact is considered high and significant but will be
mitigated through retention of natural vegetation whenever feasible, and
use of watering trucks and landscaping disturbed areas after grading.
After construction of the project, water run-off is likely to increase due
to the addition of impermeable surfaces. Appropriate drainage control
devices will have to be approved through the Engineering Department
and will have to be designed in accordance with Temecula's standards
and the Conditions of Approval.

No. The subject site is not located near any channel, lake or ocean that
would be impacted by deposition or erosion. Drainage improvements
and landscaping will prevent soil erosion.
No. The site is not located in a fault hazard zone or an area susceptible
to liquefaction. Hazards due to groundshaking associated with a nearby
fault are addressed by the requirements of the Uniform Building Code.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not result in any impacts to air quality
or the climate. Subsequent development proposals will be assessed for
potential impacts to air quality and the climate.
No. There are no currents or bodies of water on the site. The site is not
located in a flood plain. Therefore there will be no impact on the
direction of water currents or flood waters or the amount of water in any
water body. Neither people nor property will be exposed to flood
hazards.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in changes in the amount of
surface runoff. The improvement of the site will provide for adequate
drainage facilities as approved by the City Engineer.
Yes. Grading may result in an increase in turbidity in local surface water.
This impact is temporary and is not considered significant.
No. Excavation is not expected to encounter groundwater. There will
be no impact to the direction or flow of groundwater.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not result in any impact on public
water supplies.
No. The only plant specimen on the site worthy of note in the biological
report is an engelmann oak. The oak tree shall be preserved, relocated,
or replaced at a 10 to I ratio or as approved by the Planning Director.
Maybe. Landscaping of the site may introduce some non-native species.
This is not considered a significant impact.
No. The site is not currently used as crop land.
No. No evidence of rare or endangered species was found on the site.

Maybe. Although the biology survey encountered no sign of the
presence of stephens kangaroo rats on the site, the biologist
recommended that a certified stephens kangaroo rat biologist ascertain
if they inhabit the site. A report by a certified specialist shall be required
prior to issuance of grading permits. If any stephen kangaroo rats are
found, a lO(a) permit for incidental take must be obtained prior to
issuance of grading permits.
Yes. The project will result in loss of grass land and chaparral which
typically provides foraging habitat for raptors, sparrows, rabbits,
gophers, ground squirrels, and reptiles.
The only sensitive vertebrate observed during the survey was a golden
eagle soaring high above the site. The biologist recommended that a
portion of the site abutting the upslope chaparral be maintained in a
natural state in order to preserve some foraging habitat. Part of the open
space slope at the southwesterly side of the site will be maintained in a
natural condition.
Yes. The proposed parcel map will result in increased noise levels during
grading. This impact will be temporary and is not considered significant
because the site is not near any noise sensitive land uses.
No. Future development proposals will be reviewed for potential noise
impacts and land uses which generate severe noise will be prohibited or
required to provide adequate noise mitigation.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not cause new light or glare, and
subsequent development of the site will be subject to standard
conditions prohibiting lighting from impacting adjacent properties and
requiring low-glare sodium rapor lights.
No. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zone and the land
use designation in which the property is located.
No. The project will not involve a substantial increase in the rate of
consumption of natural or non-renewable resources.
No. The proposed Parcel Map will not involve the use of hazardous
materials or interference with emergency response or evacuation plans.

existing and approved housing.
Yes. Future development of the site is expected to generate
approximately 1,730 vehicle trip ends per day. Via Industria is part of
a western corridor bypass road which will alter present patterns of
circulation. The purpose of the by-pass road is to relieve congestion on
existing streets. The traffic study prepared in conjunction with the
project determined that intersections and roadways in the vicinity will
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service if recommended
improvements are implemented. The recommendations of the traffic
study are incorporated as conditions of approval.
No. Future development of the site will be required to provide adequate
off-street parking as appropriate for the particular land use proposed.
No. The project will have no impact upon existing transportation
systems or upon water, rail, or air traffic.
No. The streets and intersections in the vicinity will continue to operate
at acceptable levels of service if recommended street improvements are
implemented. The street improvements will be Conditions of Approval
for the proposed Parcel Map. Parcels fronting Via Industria shall limit
access to joint use driveways.
No. The project will not result in a need for new public services. Future
development will generate an increase in the need for public services in
the areas of fire and police protection and road maintenance. Fire impact
mitigation fee, the public facility fee, and taxes will fund the additional
public services.
No. The project will not result in a substantial use or increase in demand
for fuel or other energy sources.
16.a.-f.
17.a,b.
No. Future development of the site will require only hook up to or
service by existing utility systems and will not result in a need for new

Cut slopes will be landscaped as soon as possible after grading.
No. The site is not currently used for recreational purposes.
Maybe. The site contains a lithic scatter encompassing approximately
200 square meters which yielded a projectile point and 6 pieces of basalt
debitages during the archaeological survey. The Archaeological
Assessments states that the site has low potential to be a small food
processing site which could address limited archaeological research
questions and recommends a 100% surface collection, soils testing,
subsurface testing and mapping and 3 to 5 cubic meters of excavation.
These procedures are expected to constitute final mitigation and shall be
incorporated as Conditions of Approval for Parcel Map 25408.
No. There are no existing religious or sacred uses of the site or in the
vicinity.
No. Although the biology survey encountered no sign of the presence
of stephens kangaroo rats on the site, the biologist recommended that
a certified stephens kangaroo rat biologist ascertain if they inhabit the
site. A report by a certified specialist shall be required prior to issuance

of Approval for the proposed parcel map. The project will result in loss
of grass land and chaparral which typically provides foraging habitat for
raptors, sparrows and reptiles. The only sensitive vertebrate observed
during the survey was a golden eagle soaring high above the site. The
biologist recommended that a portion of the site abutting the upslope

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

BACKGROUND:
On August 5, 1991, the Planning Commission considered
the applicant's proposal. During the public hearing, the Los
Ranchitos Homeowners Association expressed its
opposition regarding the rezoning of the subject property
due to its inconsistency with the Association's C,C & R's.
In rebuttal to the Association's opposition, the applicant
indicated that he has documentation stating that his
property is not within the Los Ranchitos Homeowners
Association. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission continued this item in order to allow
Staff the opportunity to research this issue. The
Commission also required that this item be renoticed.
DISCUSSION:
Since the Planning Commission meeting of August 5, the
applicant and the City Attorney have had several
conversations regarding this matter. Based on these
conversations, the City Attorney directed the Planning Staff
to schedule and advertise this item for the Planning
Commission meeting of October 7, 1991, in which he will
make a oral presentation to the Planning Commission during-
the public hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission:
RECOMMEND ADOPTION of Negative
Declaration for Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2; and
ADOPT Resolution No. 91- recommending
approval of Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2; and
RECOMMEND Adoption of Ordinance No. 91-

WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Commission hearing, the Commission
recommended approval of said Change of Zone and Specific Plan Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby
makes the following findings:
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly
incorporated city shall adopt a general plan within thirty (30) months
following incorporation. During that 30-month period of time, the city
is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the
requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the
general plan, if all of the following requirements are met:
S\STAFFRPT\219SP-18.CZ 4
(1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the
preparation of the general plan.
(2) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and
taking other actions, including the issuance of building
permits, each of the following:
a)
There is a reasonable probability that the land
use or action proposed will be consistent with
the general plan proposal being considered or
studied or which will be studied within a
reasonable time.
b)
There is little or no probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
adopted general plan if the proposed use or
action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan.
c)
The proposed use or action complied with all
other applicable requirements of state law and-
local ordinances.
B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the
Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted
prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the
southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within the
boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as its
General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely fashion
with the preparation of its General Plan.
C. The Planning Commission in recommending approval of the
proposed Change of Zone and Specific Plan Amendment, makes the
following findings, to wit:
a)
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 18 and Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 2 will be consistent with the
City's future General Plan, which will be
completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with State law, due to the fact
that the subject request is consistent with the
SWAP Designation of Specific Plan and is
consistent with SP 219, Amendment No. 1.
~AFFRPT\219SP-18.CZ 5
b)
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan, if Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment
No. 2 are ultimately inconsistent with the
plan, due to the fact that an approval of such
a zone change and amendment may be
consistent with the goals and/or policies of
the City's future General Plan.
c)
The project is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The project creates a compatible
physical relationship with adjoining properties,
due to the fact that the adjoining properties
were designed as an overall concept for
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 1 and
the proposed project is consistent with
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 1.
d)
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the planned
land use of the area, due to the fact that the
proposed land use is consistent with the
overall concept of Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 1.
D. The Change of Zone and Specific Plan Amendment are
compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. Environmental Comoliance.
An Initial Study prepared for this project indicates that although the
proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in EIR
235 and in the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative
Declaration, therefore, is hereby recommended for adoption.

BACKGROUND:
On September 6, 1988, the Riverside County Board
of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 88-470
approving Specific Plan No. 219 (Paloma Del Sol,
formerly the Meadows). In addition, the Board of
Supervisors certified Environmental Impact Report
No. 235, for Specific Plan No. 219, as an accurate
and objective statement that complies with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Furthermore, a statement of overriding findings was
made for the Air Quality Impacts.
On April 9, 1991, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 91-36 approving Change of Zone No,
5621 and Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 1
amending the boundaries and land use designations
of Planning Areas 1, 2, 5 and 6 of Specific Plan No.
219. Subsequently, on April 23, 1991, the City
Council adopted Ordinance No. 91-13 amending
Zoning Ordinance No. 90-04 pertaining to Ordinance
No. 348.2919 (Specific Plan No. 219) as it relates to
zoning.
S\STAFFRPT~219SP-18,CZ 16
On June 10, 1991, the applicant filed Change of
Zone No. 18 and Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment
No. 2.
On June 20, 1991, Change of Zone No. 18; and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2 was
reviewed by the Formal Development Review
Committee; and, it was determined that the Specific
Plan document was acceptable to proceed with the
Public Hearing process and that the project, as
designed, can be adequately conditioned to mitigate
the DRC's concerns. The DRC has forwarded a
recommendation of approval subject to conditions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
As noted above, Change of Zone No. 18; and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2 proposes
to change the zoning designation of the subject 2.5
acre site from R-A-2 1/2 to Specific Plan; and amend
the boundary of Specific Plan No, 219, Amendment-
No. I to include the subject property as Planning
Area No. 36.
ANALYSIS:
Land Use Modifications
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2 proposes
to modify the Land Use Plan (see Figure 3
Approved and Amended - pages 17 and 18) by
increasing the total commercial acreage from 51
acres to 53.5 acres.
Circulation Plan Modifications
As illustrated on Figures 4 and 15kk (pages 20-1 and
162-3 respectively), Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 2, proposes to provide access to
Planning Area No. 36 from both Margarita and De
Portola Roads. However, it should be noted that
these access points have been identified as
"potential" access points only; and that the exact
number and location of driveways for Planning Area
No. 36 will be determined during the review of a plot
plan application.

SPECIFIC PLAN,
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
Road ImProvements
Margarita Road will be constructed by the project
developer from east of the centerline to the curb,
between Pauba Road and Highway 79.
Traffic Imoacts
The Transportation Engineering Staff has reviewed
this project; and has determined that the proposed
project is consistent with the traffic mitigation
measures of EIR 235 adopted for Specific Plan No.
219 and there will be no additional adverse
unmitigable significant traffic impacts resulting from
the development of this proposed project.
Develooment Standards
Pursuant tot he request of the Planning Department
Staff, the applicant has prepared detailed-
Development Standards for Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 2, as opposed to referencing Zoning
Ordinance No. 348. These standards have been
tailored to specifically address development within
the Meadows by taking into consideration the lot
sizes and adjacent land uses, within and surrounding
the Specific Plan Area.
The proposed project is consistent with the SWAP
Land Use Designation of Specific Plan; and is
consistent with the overall concept of Specific Plan
No. 219, Amendment No. 1, in that the total number
of commercial acreage has increased by only 2.5
acres and the adjacent Planning Area (No. 1 ) is also
Neighborhood Commercial. In addition, Staff finds it
probable that this project will be consistent with the
new General Plan when it is adopted.
S\STAFFRPT\219SP-18,CZ 18
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION: An Initial Study was performed for this project which
determined that although the proposed project could have
a significant effect on the environment, no significant
impact would result to the natural or built environment in
the City because the mitigation measures described in EIR
235 and in the Conditions of Approval have been added to
the project, and a Negative Declaration has been
recommended for adoption.
FINDINGS: 1.
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 18 and Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 2 will be consistent with the
City's future General Plan, which will be
completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with State law, due to the fact
that the subject request is consistent with the
SWAP Designation of Specific Plan and is
consistent with SP 219, Amendment No. 1.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan, if Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2 are
ultimately inconsistent with the plan, due to
the fact that an approval of such a zone
change and amendment may be consistent
with the goals and/or policies of the City's
future General Plan.
The project is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The harmony creates a compatible
physical relationship with adjoining properties,
due to the fact that the adjoining properties
were designed as an overall concept for
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 1 and
the proposed project is consistent with
Specific Plan No. 219.
,rAFFRPT\219SP-18.CZ 19
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the planned
land use of the area, due to the fact that the
proposed land use is consistent with the
overall concept of Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 1.
The Planning Department Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission:
RECOMMEND ADOPTION of Negative
Declaration for Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2; and
ADOPT Resolution No. 91- recommending
approval of Change of Zone No. 18 and
Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2; and
RECOMMEND Adoption of Ordinance No. 91-'
, entitled "An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Temecula, California,

AMENDMENT NO. 2
Proposal is to amend the boundary of the Paloma Del Sol (formerly the
Meadows) Specific Plan to include planning area No. 36. The project is located
at the southeast corner of Margarita Road and DePortola Road.
Oliver Mujica provided staff report and reported it was consistent with the
Meadow Specific Plan and felt it would maintain the continuity of the specific
plan.
Chairman Hoagland opened the public comment at 8:00
Keith L. McCann, Jr., agent for owner gave a summary of reasons he felt that
this property should be zoned commercial, he stated that 35 acres around it
were commercial and this home backs up to that commercial. He stated that
the owner received a letter from Los Ranchitos Homeowner's Association
several years ago stating this property was not in the Association.
Mr. Donald Rohrobacker, 44281 Flowers Drive, President Los Ranchitos
Homeowner's Association. Mr. Rohrobacker stated that this property was in
the association and that they were very opposed to any zone change. He
stated that they do not want to set precedent. He also wanted the
Homeowner's Association notified of all hearings. He gave the address of the
Homeowner's Association as: P.O. Box 471, Temecula, California 92593.
Commissioner Chiniaeff was concerned about amount of Commercial in that
area.
Commissioner Blair was concerned about type of business that would be
allowed.
Chairman Hoagland asked if owner opposed Specific Plan 219, Mr. McCann
answered no.
Hermon Thorne, 30851 DePortola Rd., Temecula stated that this property is on
lot 25, he lives on lot 32 felt CC&R's governed and that they should be
followed as 2-1/2 acres single family residence. An approval of a
change would require by 51% of owners to approve. He felt that there was
enough commercial in neighborhood.
Rebecca Weersing, 41775 Yorba Avenue, Los Ranchitos, opposed to violation
of CC&R's, should be kept rural.
Gary Thornhill stated that the Specific Plan designation rules apply to any
development on that property and the City can extend boundaries.
Chairman Hoagland asked city attorney if CC&R's vehicle attach to the land?
Terry Kaufmann, representative, city attorney, stated that CC&R's are with
property owners. Any problem is not problem with the City, but between
homeowners and should not affect commission decisions.
Commissioner Fahey made a motion to continue item until homeowner's issue
is researched and documents produced if property is in association or not.
Commissioner Blair seconded the motion. Commissioner Ford wanted record
to reflect homeowner's conflict.
Commissioner Chinlaeff felt issue should be reviewed by land use designation
and if it was appropriate zoning, commission should not be concerned with civil
matters.
Commissioner Hoagland restated motion to continue item off calendar to
renotice item. notify Los Ranchitos Homeowner's Association and have staff
research if property was in Los Ranchitos Homeowner's association.

III. Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation
The following environmental impacts associated with Specific Plan No. 219 are
insignificant in that the design of the project includes the necessary mitigation
measures which have been adopted within EIR 235:
Water and Sewer:
The project will have an average daily consumption of
domestic water of 1,683,300 gallons at 300
gallons/d.u./day. The project will generation between 1.81
and 3.08 million gallons per day of sewage flow. Onsite
wastewater collection facilities will be constructed to tie
into Eastern Municipal Water District's master planned
facilities being constructed through the Rancho Villages
Assessment District. Construction of all structures within
the project will conform to state laws requiring water
efficient plumbing fixtures.
Utilities:
Gas, electricity, and telephone service will be provided by
respective purveyors of the service. Lines for electrical and
telephone services, and mains for natural gas are located-
along the project boundaries.
Energy Resources:
The project will increase consumption of energy for motor
vehicle movement, space and water heating, air
conditioning, use of home appliances, and operation of
construction equipment. The project will adhere to State
Code Title 24 energy conservation standards and will
employ site design, when possible, for additional energy
conservation. Non vehicular pathways are included within,
and adjacent to, the project site. Commercial and
employment centers are in proximity to the project site.
Parks and Recreation:
Project residents will create a demand for parks and
recreation facilities, and for open space. The project
design provides 242 +/- acres of recreation areas,
parkway greenbelts, and paseo open space.
The following environmental impacts associated with Specific Plan No. 219 are
potentially significant, but will be avoided or substantially lessened by the identified
mitigation measures which have been adopted within EIR 235:
S\STAFFRPT\219SP-18.CZ 33
Seismic Safety
1. Impact:
2. Mitigation:
Slopes and Erosion
1. Impact:
2. Mitigation:
Although faults have been previously mapped on-
site, they have been determined to be inactive and
the risk of ground rupture due to faulting on the
project is considered nil. Liquefaction potential
exists along the entire flat alluviated area of
Temecula Creek within the southern site boundary.
During site development, additional geologic
evaluation shall be continued in order to verify the
extent and relative age of fault activity. Mitigation
of the liquefaction potential within the southern
portion of the site will occur as a result of project
development, which will lower artificially high
groundwater levels by removal of recharge ponds, as
well as increase overburden as a result of site
grading.
The Meadows Specific Plan will unavoidably alter
some of the existing landforms. Owing to the
general granular nature of graded slopes, a moderate
to severe erosion potential exists if slopes are
unprotected. Removal and recompaction of portions
of alluvial/colluvial soils within fill areas and shallow
cut areas will be necessary.
Temporary groundcover shall be provided to prevent
erosion during the construction phase. Permanent
vegetation shall be planted as soon as possible after
grading. Specific requirements for alluvial/colluvial
soils removal shall be developed during tentative map
studies and incorporated into project grading. The
three small possible landslide areas shall be
investigated during design level studies and all
mitigation measures identified as a result of that
investigation will be incorporated into future
development approvals. Remedial grading
recommendations to provide for the long term
stability will be provided based upon a finalized
grading design.
S\STAFFRPT~219SP-le,CZ 34
Flooding
1. Impact:
2. Mitigation:
Noise
1. Impact:
2. Mitigation:
Water Quality
1. Impact:
Development of the Meadows Specific Plan will alter
the existing drainage patterns and will increase
runoff to Temecula Creek and, to a lesser extent,
Murrieta Creek.
A master drainage plan has been developed to
respond to the hydrological constraints of the site.
A more in-depth assessment of the Temecula
floodplain shall be conducted during the final design
and preparation of the tentative tract maps, and all
mitigation measures identified as a result of that
assessment will be incorporated into future
development approvals. Erosion control devices shall
be utilized in hillside development areas to mitigate
the effect of increased runoff at points of discharge.
If required, the project applicant will contribute
Drainage Improvement Fees as appropriate.
Noise generated from the project will derive from
two sources, construction and vehicular traffic, but
is not anticipated to result in unacceptable noise
levels to existing or proposed off-site uses. Onsite
areas adjacent to high volume roadways may be
subject to noise impacts.
A noise analysis shall be required in planning areas
adjacent to high volume perimeter roads. If
indicated, noise attenuation will be incorporated into
project design.
Implementation of the project will alter the
composition of surface runoff by grading the site
surfaces; by construction of impervious streets,
roofs and parking facilities; and by the irrigation of
landscaped areas. Runoff conveyed to Temecula
and Murrieta Creeks will contain minor amounts of
pollutants.
S\STAFFRPT\219SP-18,CZ 35
2. Mitigation:
The project will employ erosion control devices
during grading, such as temporary berms, culverts,
sand bagging or desilting basins. Urban runoff will
be mitigated through implementation of a street
cleaning program.
Wildlife/Vegetation
1. Impact:
As a consequence of grassland and coastal sage
scrub vegetation removal, existing wildlife will either
be destroyed or displaced. Impacts upon habitat
containing a population of the Stephen's Kangaroo
Rat will result.
2. Mitigation:
The project applicant will participate in any in-place
County program which provides for off-site
mitigation of impacts to the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat,
or enter into a Memorandum of Understanding wit
the California Department of Fish and Game.
Historic and Prehistoric Sites
1. Impact:
Without proper mitigation, implementation of the
Meadows Specific Plan could potentially destroy
archaeological/historical sites on the property.
2. Mitigation:
Prior to the approval of any additional implementing
processes, the applicant/developer will meet with the
County Historical Commission to determine
appropriate measures to mitigate potential impacts to
archaeological/historicalsites; all mitigation measures
identified as a result of the meeting(s) will be
incorporated into future development approvals.
Circulation
1. Impact:
The Meadows Specific Plan is anticipated to
generate 47,600 vehicle trips per day at project
completion. Approximately 40,000 of these trips
would be external to the site.
2. Mitigation:
Construction of the proposed circulation network will

1. Impact:
2. Mitigation:
The project site would be subject to Category II
urban development requirements with regard to fire
protection services.
The project site will be served by a proposed fire
station, to be constructed near Highway 79. The
developer will pay mitigation fees as required by the
Board of Supervisors.
Project residents will impose increased demands on
law enforcement and sheriff services.
Project design will incorporate appropriate lighting,
site design, security hardware and such design
features as will promote optimal security. The
developer will pay mitigation fees as required by the-
Board of Supervisors.
The project will generate an estimated 3,109
students in grades K-8 and 1,187 students in grades
9-12, impacting the Temecula Valley Unified School
District.
The project has designated four elementary school
sites and one junior high school site. The developer
will pay school mitigation fees as required.
Project residents, estimated at 14,587, will generate
approximately 58 tons per day of solid waste,
incrementally shortening the life of County landfill
sites.
The County Solid Waste Management Plan includes
programs for reducing the quantity of wastes being
landfilled, including source reduction and business
and residential separation of recoverables. These
programs may be implemented by project residents
and businesses.

M. Libraries
1. Impact:
The project's population will increase demand for
library facilities and services.
2. Mitigation:
The developer will pay library mitigation fees as
required by the Board of Supervisors.
The following environmental impact associated with Specific Plan No. 219 cannot be
fully mitigated and a statement of overriding findings has been adopted within EIR
235:
Air Quality
1. Impact:
At project build-out, daily motor vehicle emissions
for the project will total approximately 7,754
Ibs/day. Power plant emissions for electrical energy
consumed on-site will total 175 Ibs/day. Natural gas
emissions for project consumption will total 163.6
Ibs per day. Approximately 1 O0 Ibs of dust per acre-
will be generated each day of construction in
addition to an undetermined amount of motor
emissions during site preparation an construction.
2. Mitigation:
Because most of the project-related air pollution
emissions are generated by automobiles, effective
mitigation is limited. On-site provisions for schools,
shopping, and recreation has been incorporated into
project design. Sufficient acreage has been zoned
for industrial use in the Rancho California/Temecula
area to provide employment opportunities. project
design includes a circulation plan designed for
efficient and direct traffic flows and alternative
transit modes including pedestrian, bicycle, and
equestrian trails. The Rancho Villages Policy Plan, to
which this project is subject, requires pedestrian and
bus stop facilities for commercial areas. These
requirements will be implemented at the
development application stage. Particulate matter
and other pollutants generated during grading and
construction will be reduced through compliance
with County Ordinance No. 457 which specifies
watering during construction, and planting of ground
Cover.
S\STAFFRPT~ZlgSP-~S,CZ 38
IV. Conclusion
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
No. 235 in conjunction with the approval of Specific Plan No. 219 and Change of
Zone No. 5140. The EIR included mitigation measures to reduce environmental
impacts to levels of insignificance. The Board of Supervisors also adopted statements
of overriding considerations for the air quality impacts. Specific Plan No. 219,
Amendment No. 2 has increased the neighborhood commercial acreage by only 2.5
acres and proposes to modify the boundaries of Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment
No. 1 to include Planning Area No. 36; and will not result in additional impacts to the
environment. The Conditions of Approval are adequate to mitigate any potential
significant impacts to levels of insignificance.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act and Condition
of Approval No. 12 of Specific Plan No. 219, this Initial Study has been prepared to
demonstrate that the changes resulting from the proposed Specific Plan Amendment
will not result in new or substantially increased significant impacts, that there have
been no changes in the circumstances surrounding the project that would require
important revisions to the EIR due to new significant impacts, and that no new
information has arisen which would indicate that the project will have significant-
effects not previously discussed or underestimated, or that alternatives or mitigation
measures not previously considered would substantially reduce any significant
impacts.
S\STAFFRPT\219SP-18.CZ 39
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets, which were adopted for EIR 235,
and in the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
ANALYSIS:
On November 19, 1990, the Planning Commission
approved Plot Plan No. 18, a proposal to develop the
a 5.1 acre site with a 46,613 square foot shopping
center, as follows:
Building "A" - Restaurant
Building "B" - Bank
Building "C" - Retail
6,500 sq.ft.
4,831 sq.ft.
35,282 sq.ft.
On April 15, 1991, the Planning Commission
approved Plot Plan No. 18, Revision No. 1. This plot
plan was a request to increase the total square
footage of the shopping center from 46,613 to
47,412 square feet and to change the uses as
follows:
Building "A" - Restaurant(PAD)
Building "B" - Restaurant(PAD)
Building "C" - Retail
7,203 sq.ft.
6,300 sq.ft.
33,909 sq.ft.
Location
Plot Plan No. 240 is a proposal to construct a 6,300
square foot restaurant on building pad "B" of Plot
Plan No. 18, Revision No. 1. The proposed
restaurant provides a total of 232 seats.
Proiect Desian
The architectural style of the proposed restaurant is
compatible with the mediterranean style of the
commercial center. The proposed building design
provides variety of form, color, and building material,
and each elevation is well articulated.
Landscaping
Landscaping is provided along the perimeter of the
proposed building. The proposed landscaping is
consistent with the planting pallet and conceptual
landscape plan of the overall commercial center.
S%STAFFRPT\240 .PP 2
Parkina
The overall commercial center provides a total of
289 parking spaces. The total parking for the center
was calculated on the basis of retail and restaurant
floor areas. The parking for the whole center
therefore meets or exceeds the applicable parking
requirements.
FUTURE GENERAL PLAN
AND SWAP CONSISTENCY:
The proposed project is consistent with the SWAP
Land Use Designation of Commercial, which includes
restaurant uses. In addition, Staff finds it probable
that this project will be consistent with the new
General Plan when it is adopted in that adjacent land
uses are retail and office commercial uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
An Initial Study was performed for Plot Plan No. 18
which determined that although the proposed project
could have a significant effect on the environment,
no significant impact would result to the natural or
built environment in the City because mitigation
measures were incorporated in the Conditions of
Approval, and a Negative Declaration was adopted
by the Planning Commission. Since Plot Plan No.
240 will not result in additional impacts to the
environment, the Planning Department Staff has
determined that the project is exempt from CEQA
under Section 15061 (b)(3).
FINDINGS:
There is a reasonable probability that Plot Plan
No. 240 will be consistent with the City's
future General Plan, which will be completed
in a reasonable time and in accordance with
State law due to the fact that the proposed
restaurant is consistent with the existing
zoning and the SWAP Land Use Designation
of Commercial.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan, if the proposed use is ultimately
S\STAFFRPT\240,PP 3
inconsistent with the plan, in that the
proposed restaurant is consistent with the
existing zoning, the SWAP Land Use
Designation of Commercial, and the permitted
uses of the surrounding area.
The proposed use or action complies with
State planning and zoning laws, in that the
proposed use complies with Ordinance No.
348.
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configuration, circulation
patterns, access, and intensity of use, in that
the proposed restaurant complies with the
standards of Ordinance No. 348.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the public health or
welfare, in that the Conditions of Approval
include mitigation measures.
The project is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The harmony in scale, bulk, height,
intensity, and coverage creates a compatible
physical relationship with adjoining properties.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area.
The project has acceptable access to
dedicated rights-of-way which are open to,
and useable by, vehicular traffic, namely
Lyndie Lane and Rancho California Road.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the built or natural
environment as determined in the expanded
initial study performed for Plot Plan No. 18.

Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce .
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the pro)ect have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental 9oais? {A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future. )
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project~s
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant. )
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

1.g.
Air
2.a.
No. However, development on the site will require a substantial amount
of grading and an overall change in topography will occur. Cut and fill
slopes will occur as a result of the extensive grading. This impact is
not considered significant. Manufactured slope will have to be properly
landscaped.
Yes. All development disrupts the soil profile to some degree and
results in soil displacement, compaction and overcovering. Further
analysis will determine if additional analysis will determine if mitigetions
are required.
No. There are no unique geologic or physical features on the site.
Maybe. Wind and water erosion potentials will increase during the
construction phase and remain high until disturbed ar-~ are
replanted. The wind erosion impact is considered high and signiflca,~t
but will be mitigated through replanting vegetation and use of watering
trucks and hydro-seeding disturbed ar~-~ after grading. After
construction of the project, water run-off is likely to increase due to
the addition of impermeable surfaces. Appropriate drainage control
devices will have to be approved through the Engineering Department
and will have to be designed in accordance with Temecula's standards
and the conditions d approval.
No. The subject site is net located near any channel, lake or ocean that
would be impacted by deposition or erosion.
No. the subject site is net located within a fault hazard zone,
liquefaction or subsidence area according to the Riverside County
General Plan Geologic Map.
Yes. The addition of approximately ~6,613 square feet of commercial
space will generate a significant amount of new vehicle traffic to the site
and area. The vehicle traffic will increase the amount of carbon
monoxide and particulate emissions in the area. The proposed project
will not by itself deteriorate the local area~s or regional air quality, but
will add to the cumulative impact on air quality due to the substantial
growth in the awea.
No. The proposed project will not create any objectionable odors or
alter the areass climate.

No. The proposed project will not impact any body of water.
Yes Development of the subject site will increase the amount of
impermeable surfaces which will decr-=-e the amount of water absorbed
into the ground which will reduce the amount of ground water. Due to
the vast amount of existing ground water in the area, this impact is
considered insignificant.
No. Flood waters will continue to be directed to the streets and flood
channels. Drainage plans for the site will have to meet the
requirements of the City's Engineer.
No. The proposed project will not alter the rate of flow of ground
water,
No. The proposed project will not significantly affect the public water
supply.
No. The Riverside County General Plan Flood Management Map does not
designate the site in a hazardous area.
No. Although the development of the site will remove any of the plant
species that currently exist on the site, no unique, rare or endangered
species should be affected. New species Of plants will be introduced to
the site as part of the landscape requirements for the project. The
addition of the new species is not considered a negative impact. The
site is not currently being used for agricultural purposes.
No. The proposed project is located in an area that has been
experiencing urbanization for a number of years. It is anticipated that
the only animal life on or in th~ vicinity of the site includes squirrels,
rabbits, lizards and other common animals. It is highly unlikely that
an endangered specie habitat-- the site.
Yes. On-site noise levels will increase temporarily durin9
construction. Long-term noise impacts will occur due to increased
traffic volumes. This impact is not considered to be significant since
the surrounding land uses are not noise sensitive.
No. Severe noise will not be generated by the proposed project.
STAFFRPT\PP18 9
Liqht and Glare
Maybe. The proposed project is located within the Mr. Palomar
Observatory Street Lighting Policy Area which recommends the use of
low pressure sodium vapor (LPSV) lights to help avoid interference
with the Mt. Palomar telescope known as ~'skygloWI'. The use of LPSV
lights will reduce the light and glare produced by the proposed project.
Land Use
No. The Southwest Area Plan designates the subject site for commercial
development.
Natural Resources
9.a-b.
No. The proposed commercial use will not increase the consumption rate
of any natural or non-renewable natural resource.
Risk of Upset
10.a-b.
No. The proposed commercial uses on the subject site will not require
the use of any hazardous substances. During construction, it should
not be necessary to close any streets which would interfere with
emergency vehicles.
Population
11o
No. The proposed L16,613 square foot commercial facility will generate
some jobs but not a significant amount to alter the area's population.
Housinq
12.
No. The proposed ~,6,613 square foot commercial facility will not
generate a significant number of jobs to create a demand fop additional
housing.
TransportationJ Circulation
13.a,d,f.
Yes. The proposed project will generate a substantial amount of vehicle
tr~[Fic to the site. This impact is considered significant due to the
current traffic problems which exist in the vicinity of the site.
Through traffic on Randno California Road, with one lane in each
direction, is congested due to the traffic turning into the neighboring
commercial facility and vehicle volume. Until Randno California Road is
widened to four lanes at the subject site, traffic will continue to be
bottle necked and traffic hazards will increase. A traffic study dated
April 26, 1990, was conducted by Kunzman Associates. The study
recommends widening Randno California Road and Lyndie Lane in
conjunction with development of the project; a 200 foot left turn pockat
in Rancho California Road; limited access to site and participation in
STAFFRPT\PP18 10
traffic signal fees. With these recommendations, it is anticipated that
1991 traffic at the site will operate at LOS~D~. However, it is not clear
if the future traffic inctudes the new residential developments east of
the site and weekend traffic to the wineries. )f not, the traffic study
should be reevaluated.
13.b.
Yes. The proposed project will require the addition of parking space
which should be consistent with the adopted parking cede for
commercial uses. The proposed plot plan is consistent with the parking
code except that the handicapped space should be designated along
with the additional three toecling spaces for the project.
13.d-e.
No. The proposed project will not effect the present pattern or
circulation of goeds or people.
Public Services
lu,.a,b,e.
Yes. The proposed u,6,613 square foot commercial facility will require
public services in the areas of police, fire and maintenance of roads and
public facilities. This impact is not considered significant. The
incremental impact should be evaluated and the appropriate fees
assessed. Property taxes should mitigate the impact and continuing '
need for services ~ver the long term.
Energy
15.a-b.
No. The proposed project will not result ~n the substantial use or j,
increase in demand of fuel or energy.
Utilities
16.a-f.
No. The proposed pro}ect requires the use of utilities but will not
require substantial alteration to the existing systems.
Human Health
17 .a-b.
No. The proposed project will not create a health hazard or increase
human exposure to hazardous materials.
Aesthetics
No. Development of the subject site will not obstruct any scenic vista
or view that is open to the public.
Recreation
19,
No. The subject site is not currently used for recreational uses.
STAFFRPT\PP18 11
Cultural Resources
20.a.
Maybe. The proposed project may impact an unknown cultural resource
site. If a site is discovered during grading. an archaeologist or
paleontologist should be called on site to supervise the digging and
determine if the site is significant.
20.b-d.
No. The proposed project will not impact any building of historic
significance. affect unique ethnic cultural values or restrict sacred
uses.
Mandatory Findinqs of Siqnificance
21 .a-c.
No. The proposed project will not have a significant impact of the
quality of the area's natural environment nor will the project achieve
short term environmental goals to the disaclvantage of Ion9 term goals.
In addition. the project does not cumulatively considerable impacts.
21 ,d.
Yes. The proposed project has the poterrtial of exposing human beings
to increased traffic hazards. The location of the project is at the top
of a blind hill and a bottle-neck where tr,rfic is already a concern. The
additional traffic generated by the proposed project will significantly
increase the potential for accidents at the subject location unl--- the
mitigation measures as recommended in the supporting traffic study are
implemented.
STAFFRPT\PP18 12
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION Will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
