COMMISSION BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS 4 Plannine Application No. PA99-0382 {Lame Family Day Care Home Facility Ordinance) Citywide ordinance amendine the Development Code - Senior Planner Dave Hoean RECOMMENDATION: 4.1 Adopt a resolution entitled: PC RESOLUTION NO. 200O- A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA, AMENDING THE SEVERAL CHAPTERS OF THE TITLE 17 RELATING TO THE STANDARDS FOR LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOME FACITIIES" (PLANNING APPLICATION PA99-0382) Senior Planner Hogan presented a detailed overview of the staff report (of record), noting staff's efforts to modify the existing ordinance regarding large family day care home facilities; advised that the State governed the authodty in which local government could regulate these facilities, relaying three approaches (per agenda material) the City could utilize in regulating the facilities, as follows: Approach No. 1) to classify the facilities as a permitted use (with no additional standards). Approach No. 2) to grant a non-discretionarypermit, which is an approval similar to the process the City utilizes for granting businesses licenses, or Approach No. 3) to issue a permit after notice was given to the property owners within a hundred foot parameter in order for those individuals to have an opportunity to indicate whether or not they desired a public headng; and noted that the agenda material was inclusive of three draft ordinances, one for each of the three approaches, relaying that certain aspects of one draft ordinance could be added to another. Seeing that there ware no members of the public wishing to speak on this item, Chairman GuerTiero closed the public headng at this time. Based on previous Commission comments regarding large family day care home facility uses, Commissioner Fahey, echoed by Commissioners Mathewson and Telesio, recommended that R:Pianningminutes~020200 3 there be regulations associated with the permitting, and that there be a review and approval process. For Commissioner Telesio, Senior Planner Hogan specified that the cam of seven (7) children constituted a large day care home fadlily, noting that fourteen (14) was the maximum number of children permitted in the day care facilities per State law; and dadfled that small day care facilities (constituting the care of less than seven (7) childran) were not required to be permitted. Commissioner Webster relayed that this issue was being ddven by State law; advised that small day care home facilities should be permitted in residential areas, noting his opinion that large day care facilities did not belong in residential areas since this use was essentially a commercial business; acknowledged that per State law, local government did not have the jurisdiction to opt against permitting the large day care facilities in residential areas; recommended that the Commission choose the draft ordinance, and approach option at tonight's meeting in order to provide staff with the avenue to pursue, providing comments regarding modifications, and then that the issue be continued in order for staff to address the requested revisions. Chairman Guerdere relayed concurrence with continuing this item in order to obtain additional date regarding specificity with regard to regulating square footage, play equipment. fencing, on- street parking, restroom facilities, and in order to address the safety aspects of this matter. Referencing State legislation, Attomey Cudey relayed the restricted parameters the State had mandated with respect to the City's discretion; advised that the review process could be inclusive of the following criteria: spacing concentration, traffic control, and parking and noise control; relayed that the legislation precluded the City from plating restrictions on building height, setbacks, or lot dimensions unless the same standard applied to all single family houses; advised that CEQA review was inapplicable with respect to this matter; and concurred with the recommendation that the Commission relay its recommended modifications, in order for staff to researrJn the specific legal restrictions associated with regulating this use and for staff to bring the matter back before the Commission. In response to Commissioner Mathewson's queries regarding an article he had recently read, Attorney Cudey relayed that he could investigate pubfished articles regarding proposed legislation which addressed the local judsdiction's concern regarding the lack of regulatory power with respect to this matter, and update the Commission at the next meeting. in light of the lack of regulatory power of the City, Commissioner Fahey relayed her reluctance to recommend that the review and approval process be conducted at a public headng due to that fact that it implied that the publids comments and concams could be tadored into the governing body's derision on whether to permit the use, whereas in reality, the City had extremely restricted jurisdiction with respect to these particular uses; reiterated that to conduct the review process in a public headng implied that the public's comments would be taken into consideration; and clarified that while she recommended a permitting process to ensure that certain criteria was met, she was opposed to the review process being a public hearing. in response to Commissioner Fahey, Attomey Cudey advised that if the review process were conducted via an administrative level the same standards would apply, noting that the only variant would be the entity permitting the use. For Commissioner Telesio, Attorney Cudey dadfled the State mandates regarding the regulations the City placed on the large day care home facilities, advising that there could be no R:Planningminutes%020200 4 differentiation from the regulations placed on altemata residential structures; reiterated that the State permitted the local jurisdictions to develop reasonable standards for the following: spacing and concentration. traffic control, and parking and noise control. clarifying that those specific areas could be regulated within reasonable standards with respect to the large family day cere facilities; and specified the areas that could not be uniquely regulated for day cere facilities. W'~h respect to noise control, for Commissioner Mathewson, Attorney Cudey dadfled the parameters for restricting this impact; and for Commissioner Fahey, confirmed that if there was analysis completed regarding the demand in the community, and the street capacity, then objective criteda could be developed regarding the spacing of the uses. Concurring with Commissioner Fahey's recommendation to concentrate on spacing parameters, Chairman Guerdero relayed the number of these particular uses the State indicated was needed. For Chairman Guerdero, Attomey Cudey relayed that if the City could support reasonable spacing and concentration standards via analysis and data, the City would be in compliance with legislation. For Commissioner Mathewson, Attomey Cudey clarified the 100-foot paremeter distance for public notification, noting that it was a State standard. In response to Commissioner Telesio's quedes regarding the standards denoted in Approach Nos. 2, and 3 with respect to fenced play areas, and lighting standards, Senior Planner Hogan relayed the efforts to apply vadous minimal standards. Attorney Cudey provided additional information with respect to regulating these issues. Commissioner Fahey reiterated her opposition with respect to the review process being conducted at a public headng, noting that any public member could address his or her concems regarding any matter at a Planning Commission meeting if they so desired; and relayed that she strongly supported Approach No. 2 (denoted in the agenda material), advising that there be additional specificity developed regarding regulating traffic and spacing. MOTION: Commissioner Mathewson moved to have staff draft an ordinance based on Approach No. 3 (per agenda material) and that staff investigate the development of specific cdteda with regard to the following: spacing issues, on-site parking requirements, noise impacts, the size of the play areas (inside and outside of a facility). Fire Marshall requirements. days and hours of operation limitations, the number of supervisors required on a per child basis, requirement to utilize the garage for the parking of the applicent's personal vehicles, Title 22 health and safety issues, and front yard fencing. based on the legal parameters appropriate for this permitting process, and that the matter be continued in order for staff to investigate the aforementioned issues. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster and voice vote reflected denial due to Commissioners Fahey, Guerdero, and Telesio voting no. MOTION: Commissioner Fahey moved to have staff draft an ordinance utilizing Approach No. 2 (per agenda material), developing additional speci~city regarding the previously mentioned issues (see above motlion), and that the matter be continued in order for staff to investigate the requested regulatory issues from a legal standpoint. Chairman Guerdero seconded the motion. (This motion was ultimately withdrawn.) R:Planningrninutes%020200 5 For Commissioner Mathewson, Attomey Cudey provided additional information regarding Approach No. 3. For Commissioner Telesio, Senior Planner Hogan relayed that Approach No. 3 provided an opportunity for public members to express their comments and concorns at a public headng (i.e., Director's hearing). Attorney Cudey advised that per City Code, a Directors headng decision was applicable for the appeal process; for Commissioner Mathewson, relayed that with Approach No. 2 the Planning Director would make an administrative derision and it would not go through the directors headng process, noting that it would be the issuance of a non-discretionary permit; for informational purposes, provided clarification with respect to a public member filing a wdt of mandate, to appeal a decision on either side of this issue; and darffied that with Approach No. 3 the public would have an opportunity to express their comments at a hearing. Commissioner Telesio relayed that while he was in favor of the pubtic being able to voice their comments regarding this issue, if the local governing agency had no regulatory power a headng would be ineffectual; and queded whether staff could address the regulatory issues, investigating the range of authority legally permitted pdor to the Commission choosing Approach Nos. 2, or 3. It was noted that at this time that the previous motion was withdrawn. MOTION: Commissioner Fahey moved to have staff research the regulatory issues previously discussed (see page 5, under the first motion), and to continue this item in order for staff to address these matters, and that the Commission would subsequently choose the approach option to be pursued at the time the item was brought back to the Commission, and make recommended revisions to the ordinance at that time.

PREPARED BY: Thomas Thornsley, Project Planner RECOMMENDATION: Request input from the Planning Commission. BACKGROUND: In July of 1999, the Planning Commission turned down On The Border Restaurant's request for a western theme mural measuring 12 foot by 26 foot on back of their building facing Winchester Road (Planning Application No. PA99-0079). PROPOSAL: At this time, the restaurant is under construction and the applicant is interested in doing something creative on the blank wall of their building where the mural had been proposed. Building construction is approaching a critical point and the builder must commit to the final electrical and fixture placement on that portion of the building as a request. They am requesting that the Planning Commission consider their request to place a back lit silhouette of cowboys around a fire on the wall of the building. Attached is a color elevation of an On The Border Restaurant where the silhouettes are used as building adornment. The "right" elevation is what they would like to have considered on their Temecula restaurant. The silhouette is made of steel and is held off the building about six inches. Neon lights will be mounted behind the silhouette casting a halo of light on the wall. Attachment: 1.

Prepared by: John De Gange, Project Planner SURROUNDING ZONING: North: Retail Commercial within Specific Plan No. 263 (Temecula Regional Center) South: Business Park within Specific Plan No. 263 (Temecula Regional Center) East: Retail Commercial within Specific Plan No. 263 (Temecula Regional Center) West: Light Industrial (LI) and Community Commercial (CC) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: CC Community Commercial EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: The Promenade Mall Site South: Vacant East: Vacant West: Palm Plaza BACKGROUND The applicant, Costco Wholesale, is requesting that the Planning Commission make a finding of public convenience or necessity for the transfer of their current license for off sale consumption of alcoholic beverages to their new location at 26610 Ynez Road. This finding is required as part of the permitting process by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ARC). State law requires a local finding of public convenience or necessity before a beverage sales license will be transferred/issued by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. The applicant is requesting a Type 21 permit which allows the general retail off sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits. This request represents a transfer of Costco's existing Type 21 license from its current location at 40435 Margarita Road to it new location at 26610 Ynez Road, which is currently under construction ANALYSIS The Planning Commission has developed criteria to determine whether or not a finding of public convenience or necessity can be made. The criteria and staffs preliminary responses are as follows: F:\DeptS%PLANNING\STAFFRPTXCostCOPN&C.pc .doc Criteria to JustiN Makincl a Findincl of Public Convenience or Necessity Q. Does the proposed establishment have any unique features, which are not found in other similar uses in the community (i.e. types of games, types of food, and other special services)? A. No. Costco is a wholesale retail store with general retail items and food items. This facility is intended to serve the residential communities within the area as well as the within the region. Q. Does the proposed establishment cater to an under-served population (i.e., Patrons of a different socio-economic class)? A. No. Costco serves all socio-economic classes. Q. Does the proposed establishment provide entertainment that would fill a niche in the community (i.e. comedy club, jazz club, etc)? A. No. The sale of alcoholic beverages in this facility is not associated with entertainment. This criterion is not applicable. Q. Are there any geographical boundaries (i.e. rivers, hillsides) or traffic barriers (i.e. freeways, major reads, major intersections) separating the proposed establishment from other establishments ? A. No. This facility is sited within the commercial core of the City which consists of a number of different commercial uses some of which have on and off sate licenses to sell alcohol. Q. Is the proposed establishment located in an area where there is a significant influx of population during certain seasonal periods? No. Population in the area is seasonally stable, but increasing as residential areas within the vicinity develop. Influx may occur in the near future as a result of the completion of the Diamond Valley Reservoir and its preposed recreational components. Criteria to Not Justify Makincl a Findincl of Pubic Convenience or Necessity Q. Is there a proliferation of licensed establishments within a quarter mile of the proposed establishment? A. No. The site lies within District 432-04 according to the Alcohol Beverage Control office in Riverside. Twenty (20) licenses are allowed in this census tract, and thirty-three (33) active licenses have been issued. Since this is a transfer of an existing license, approval of this request will not add to the existing number of licenses in the overall area. This request will remove an active license from District 432-02 and add an active license to District 432-04. Q. Are there any sensitive uses (i.e. schools, parks, hospitals, churches) in close proximity (600 feet) to the proposed establishment? A. No. There are neither churches nor schools within 600 feet of the proposed site. Q. Would the proposed establishment interfere with the quiet enjoyment of their property by the residents of the area? A. It is unlikely that the proposed Costco will interfere with the five residences that are located F:\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~CostcoPN&C.pc.doc 2 within 600 feet to the east of the proposed facility. Q. Will the proposed establishment add to law enforcement problems in the area ? A. No. According to the Police Department, this request is not expected to create or exacerbate law enforcement problems in the area. Number of Similar uses within the Citv There are currently 20 off sale licenses issued to grocery store/general retail uses within the City of Temecula. Number of other licensed establishments within 1 mile and 3 miles There are seven (7) off-sale and fourteen (15) on-sale licenses within a one (1) mile radius of the subject establishment. These licensed establishments include restaurants, bars, mini-marts and grocery stores. The three mile (3) radius encompasses the remainder of the licensed establishments within the City of Temecula. CONCLUSION Staff recommends the Planning Commission review the information included in this report and make the finding of public convenience or necessity based upon the fact that the applicant will be transferring an existing license along with the relocation of the business.

Costco Wholesale ("Costco") sells alcoholic beverages for off sale consumption at its current Temecula warehouse location. Costco has a history of service to many California communities and would continue to operate in the same manner it always has. The community has been accustomed to the services provided by the current Temecula warehouse and Costco only seeks to ensure the same level of amenities consistent with our other location. Costco's request to sell alcoholic beverages for off sale consumption will not jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to public health, safety or general welfare. The approval for this use should not create any significant detrimental impact on the surrounding community. We do not believe it will hinder the achievement of the community development goals, nor will it negatively affect the character or development of the immediate neighborhood. We respectfully request the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control find in support of Public Convenience and Necessity for the relocation of the Temecula warehouse and determine that such finding will be served by the issuance of the license.

That the Temecula Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No. PA98-0389 (Tentative Tract Map No. 29133, hereby makes the following findings as required in the City's Subdivision Ordinance. A. The proposed land division is compatible with the General Plan designation and zoning. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is L (Low Density Residential). Tentative Tract Map No. 29133 proposes eight (8) residential lots, which comply with the minimum lot size requirement of ¼ acre and the unit density of .5 to 2 units per acre. F:\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPT%389PA98 PC memo 4-19.doc B. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with the City's General Plan, Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance. The project proposes one cul- de-sac street taking access from Ynez Road, and is consistent with these documents. Conditions of approval have been placed on the project accordingly to assure that the development conforms to City Standards. C. 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. The project will take direct access from Ynez Road and will not obstruct any easements. D. The map as proposed, conforms to the logical subdivision of the site, and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. The subdivision is compatible with the surrounding areas as the site will be developed pursuant to the General Plan, and the Development Code, all of which regulate residential parcels and development. Future development of residential units will be compatible and sensitive to the surrounding residential development. In addition, the proposed subdivision provides adequate access and circulation for emergency vehicles and will not impact existing circulation or emergency vehicle access. The project as conditioned, will comply with the City's Development Code, General Plan and subdivision requirements. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. 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 the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.

APPLICATION INFORMATION APPLICANT: PROPOSAL: LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: SURROUNDING ZONING: J. Michael Lanni Planning Application No. PA98-0389 is a request for a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide 4.99 acres of land into eight (8) residential lots. Located on the east side of Ynez Road, 707 feet south of Calle Halcon and Ynez Road (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 945-060-024) L-2 (Low Density Residential) North: M (Low Medium Density Residential) South: L-1 (Low Density Residential) East: L-1 (Low Density Residential) West: SP-8 [Specific Plan 8 (Rancho Highlands)] \\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~389pa98,doc GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: L (Low Density Residential) EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: Low Medium Density Residential South: Low Medium Density Residential East: Low Medium Density Residential West: Medium Density Residential. BACKGROUND Planning Application No. PA98-0389 for Tentative Tract Map No. 29133, with 8 lots, was submitted on September 18, 1998. (The City previously approved this map in 1991 under Tentative Tract Map No. 24172. One Extension of Time was processed for this map in 1993 and the map officially expired in 1997.) Development Review Committee (DRC) meetings were held on October 15, 1998 and November t 1, 1999. The first review determined that the map submitted was the old map that had expired and was prepared by a firm no longer in business. The applicant was informed that a new map would have to be prepared so that there would be an official engineer of record for the map. The map was deemed complete on February 28, 2000. ANALYSIS Access and Circulation The subdivision proposes one cul-de-sac street taking access from Ynez Road. All lots are on the south side of the street or the end of the cul-de-sacs. No lots take access from Ynez Road. Development Standards Pursuant to Table 17.06.040, of the City of Temecula's Development Code, the minimum lot size for Low Density Residential zoned parcels is .5 acre gross lot area. The proposed parcels range in size from 20,000 square feet to 25,391 square feet. All lots are consistent with the Development Code's lot sizes requirements of .5 to 1.0 acres net. The subdivision proposes to have 1.6 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), which is within the General Plan's range of .5 to 2 du/ac. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION 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. The mitigation measures described in the Mitigation Monitoring Program, and the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the project provide mitigation, and a Negative Declaration is hereby granted. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The proposed map provides adequate access, circulation and developable lots. The proposed lots comply with the minimum lot size requirements of the Low Density Residential zoning classification pursuant to Chapter 17, Table 17.06.040 of the Development Code. The parcels are consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and the zoning map. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 29133 based upon the following findings: \\TEMEC_FS101WOL1\DeptS\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~389pa98.dOC FINDINGS The proposed land division is compatible with the General Plan designation and zoning. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is L (Low Density Residential). Tentative Tract Map No. 29133 proposes eight (8) residential lots, which comply with the minimum lot size requirement of .5 acre (gross) and the unit density of .5 to 2 units per acre. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with the City's General Plan, Development Code and Subdivision. The project proposes one cul-de- sac street taking access from Ynez Road, and is consistent with these documents. Conditions of approval have been placed on the project accordingly to assure that the development conforms to City Standards. 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. The project will take direct access from Ynez Road and will not obstruct any easements. The map as proposed, conforms to the logical subdivision of the site, and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. The subdivision is compatible with the surrounding areas as the site will be developed pursuant to the General Plan, and the Development Code, all of which regulate residential parcels and development. Future development of residential units will be compatible and sensitive to the surrounding residential development. In addition, the proposed subdivision provides adequate access and circulation for emergency vehicles and will not impact existing circulation or emergency vehicle access. The project as conditioned, will comply with the City's Development Code, General Plan and subdivision requirements. Attachments: 1.

This infrastructure includes State highways and freeways. It also includes both direct and cumulative traffic impacts. All jurisdictions should take measures available to fund improvements and reduce total trips generated. In view of the fact there are limited funds available for infrastructure improvements, we recommend the City of Temecula take the lead in developing a fair-share mechanism in which each project can fund improvements for the decrease in Level of Service (LOS) for which it is responsible.

Office Box 9033 Temecula, California 92589-9033 Dear Mr. Thornsley: Project Notice The Department of Fish and Game (Department) appreciates this opportunity to comment on the above-referenced project, relative to impacts to biological resources. To enable Department staff to adequately review and comment on the proposed project, we recommend the following information be included in "any environment document prepared for the proposed project:" A complete assessment of the flora and fauna within and adjacent to the project area, with particular emphasis upon identifying endangered, threatened, and locally unique species and sensitive habitats. A thorough assessment of rare plants and rare natural communities, following the Department's May 1984 Guidelines for Assessing Impacts to Rare Plants and Rare Natural Communities (Attachment 1). A complete assessment of sensitive fish, wildlife, reptile, and amphibian species. Seasonal variations in use of the project area should also be addressed. Focused species-specific surveys, conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, are required. Acceptable species-specific survey procedures should be developed in conSultatiOn with the Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Rare, threatened. and endangered species to be addressed should include all those which meet the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) definition (see CEQA Guidelines, § 15380). Mr. Thomas Thornsley, Project Planner October 21, 1998 Page Two The Department's California Natural Diversity Data Base in Sacramento should be contacted at (916) 327-5960 to obtain current information on any previously reported sensitive species and habitat, including Significant Natural Areas identified under Chapter 12 of the Fish and Game Code.. A thorough discussion of direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts expected to adversely affect biological resources, with specific measures to offset such impacts. CEQA Guidelines, § 15125(a), direct that knowledge of the regional setting is critical to an assessment of environmental impacts and that special emphasis should be placed on resources that are rare or unique to the region. Project impacts should be analyzed relative to their effects on off-site habitats. Specifically, this should include nearby public lands, open space, adjacent natural habitats, and dpadan ecosystems. Impacts to and maintenance of wildlife comdor/movement areas, including access to undisturbed habitat in adjacent areas, should be fully evaluated and provided. The zoning of areas for development projects or other uses that are nearby or adjacent to natural areas may inadvertently contribute to wildlife-human interactions. A discussion of possible conflicts and mitigation measures to reduce these conflicts should be included in the environmental document. A cumulative effects analysis should be developed as described under CEQA Guidelines, § 15130. General and specific plans, as well as past, present, and anticipated future projects, should be analyzed relative to their impacts on similar plant communities and wildlife habitats. The document should include an analysis of the effect that the project may have on completion and implementation of regional and/or subregional conservation programs. Under § 2800- §2840 of the Fish and Game Code, the Department, through the Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) program, is coordinating with local jurisdictions, landowners, and the Federal Government to preserve local and regional biological diversity. Coastal sage scrub is the first natural community to be planned for under the NCCP program. The Department recommends that the lead agency ensure that the development of this and other proposed projects does not preclude long-term preserve planning options and that projects conform with other requirements of the NCCP program. Jurisdictions participating in the NCCP should assess specific projects for consistency with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines. Mr. Thomas Thornsley, Project Planner October 21, 1998 Page Three A range of alternatives should be analyzed to ensure that alternatives to the proposed project are fully considered and evaluated. A range of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize impacts to sensitive biological resources should be included. Specific alternative locations should also be evaluated in areas with lower resource sensitivity where appropriate. Mitigation measures for project impacts to sensitive plants, animals, and habitats should emphasize evaluation and selection of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize project impacts. Off-site compensation for unavoidable impacts through acquisition and protection of high-quality habitat elsewhere should be addressed. The Department considers Rare Natural Communities as threatened habitats having both regional and local significance. Thus, these communities should be fully avoided and otherwise protected from project-related impacts (Attachment 2). The Department generally does not support the use of relocation, salvage, and/or transplantation as mitigation for impacts to rare, threatened, or endangered species. Department studies have shown that these efforts are experimental in nature and largely unsuccessful. A California Endangered Species Act (CESA) Permit must be obtained, if the project has the potential to result in "take" of species of plants or animals listed under CESA, either during construction or over the life of the project. CESA Permits are issued to conserve, protect, enhance, and restore State-listed threatened or endangered species and their habitats. Eady consultation is encouraged, as significant modification to the proposed project and mitigation measures may be required in order to obtain a CESA Permit. Revisions to the Fish and Game Code, effective January 1998, require that the Department issue a separate CEQA document for the issuance of a CESA permit unless the project CEQA document addresses all project impacts to listed species and specifies a m!tigation monitoring and reporting program that will meet the requirements of a CESA permit. For these reasons, the following information is requested: Biological mitigation monitodng and reporting proposals should be of sufficient detail and resolution to satisfy the requirements for a CESA Permit. A Department-approved Mitigation Agreement and Mitigation Plan are required for plants listed as rare under the Native Plant Protection Act. 5. The Department opposes the elimination of watercourses and/or their channelization or conversion to subsurface drains. All wetlands and watercourses, whether intermittent or Mr. Thomas Thornsley, Project Planner October 21, 1998 Page Four perennial, must be retained and provided with substantial setbacks which preserve the dpadan and aquatic values and maintain their value to on-site and off-site wildlife populations. The Department has direct authority under Fish and Game Code § 1600 et seq. in regard to any proposed activity which would divert, obstruct, or affect the natural flow or change the bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream, or lake. Early consultation is recommended, since modification of the proposed project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. A discussion of potential adverse impacts from any increased runoff, sedimentation, soil erosion, and/or urban pollutants on streams and watercourses on or near the project site, with mitigation measures proposed to alleviate such impacts must be included. The Department holds regularly scheduled pre-project planning/early consultation meetings. To make an appointment, please call our regional office at (562) 590-5137. Thank you for this opportunity to comment. Questions regarding this letter and further coordination on these issues should be directed to Mr, Raul Roddguez, Fishery Biologist. at (909) 597-1008.

A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially impacts(a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Would the project: Issues and Supporting Information Sources Physically divide an established community? Conflict with applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigation an environmental effect? Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? Potentially Signlhcant Impact Potentially Significant Less Than No CommeFits; 1,a, The project will not disrupt of divide the physical arrangement of an established community. The project site is vacant and surrounded by single family homes. The development of this site will be consistent with the surrounding properties. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.b. The project will not conflict with applicable General Plan designation, environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation of L (Low Density Residential .5-2 du/acre) as well as the zoning of L-2 (Low Density Residential .5-.1 du/acre). Impacts from all General Plan land use designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project where necessary. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project, and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or policies. The project site has been not been previously graded; however, services are available into the area. There will be no impacts on adopted environmental plans or policies. 1.C. The proposed project will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. The site has been grubbed for weed abatement and fire protection due to its proximity to adjacent residential units. This site is not within any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural com~nunity conservation plan. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL1 \Depts\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 3 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension ~ of roads or other infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing ! elsewhere? [c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Potent~atlv Potentially S~gnificant Less Than Signihcant Unless M~tigat~on Significant Impact Incorporated ~mpact No Impact Comments: 2,a. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation of Low Density Residential (L). The proposed subdivision will eventually result in the development of new single family homes, which will cause some people to relocate to, or within Temecula, However, due to its limited scale (eight lots), it will not induce substantial growth beyond what is projected in the City's General Plan. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.b, c. The project will not displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing as the site is vacant property zoned Low Medium Density Residential. Therefore, the project will neither displace housing nor people necessitating the construction of replacement housing. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC FS101\VOLl\Depts\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 4 3. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project? i) ii) iii) iv) issues and Supporting information Sources Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. Strong seismic ground shaking? Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Landslides? Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 1801-B of the Uniform Building Code (1998), creating substantial risks to life or property? Have soil incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? Potentially S~gnihcant Impact Unless Mitrgat~on Incorporated No The Wildomar earthquake fault is plotted through this property on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. Because of the proximity of the fault line the owner had a Preliminary Geotechnical Fault Investigation carried out by Leighton and Associates, Inc. The results of this report dated August 23, 1988, indicated that there was no evidence of active faulting in the exploratory trenches excavated on site. This report wac approved by the Riverside County Engineering Geologist, Steve Kupferman, on march 20, 1990. Mr. Kupferman reaffirmed the validity of this report in a fax to the project planner dated January 13, 2000. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. iii, b., and d. There may be a potentially significant impact from seismic ground shaking, ground failure, soil erosion or expansive soils. Although, there are no known fault hazard zones on the property, the project is located in Southern California, an area that is seismically active. Any potential significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction, which is consistent with the Uniform Building Code standards. Further, the project will be conditioned to provide soil reports prior to grading and recommendations contained in this report are followed during construction. The soil reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil, which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS101 \VOL1 \Depts\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 5 3.a. iv, c. The City's General Plan does not identify the subject site as being within an area of subsidence, landslides or liquefaction hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Septic sewage disposal systems are not proposed for this project. The project will be required to hook up to the existing public sewer system. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Unless Mitigation S~gn~hcant d. ,f Issues and Supporteng information Sources Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? Substantially alter the existing drainage pattem of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? NO f. ,/ g. ~ ~ I j' Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? Corflments; 4.a. The project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. The subdivision, and subsequent development, will be required to comply with the requirements of the %',TEMEC_FS101%VOL1%DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA~389pa98 new IES.doc 6 4.b.,f. 4.c,d. 4.j. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The project will not have an affect on the quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters or aquifer volume, No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation and/or flooding on-site or off-site. Some changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff is expected whenever development occurs on previously permeable ground. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hard scape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoff which is created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Due to the small scale of the proposed subdivision, and ultimately the future single family residential development, the project will not create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The project will be conditioned to accommodate the drainage created as a result of the subject site. In addition, the project will be conditioned so that the drainage will not impact surrounding properties. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have no impact on people or property to water related hazards such as flooding because the project site is located outside of the 1 O0 year floodway and the dam inundation area as identified in 'the City of Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project site will not be subject to inundation by sieche, tsunami, or mudflow as these events are not known to happen in this region. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\DeDts\PLANNING\CEQA\389Da98 new IES.doc 7 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: issues and SupporI~ng Information Sources Conflict with or obstruct imptementation of the applicable air quality plan? Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation IncorOorated Less Than Significant Impact ,f NO ,/ ,/ ,/ Comments: The project will not conflict with applicable air quality plans nor violate air quality or pollution standards. The project proposes to subdivide a 4.99 acres into 8 residentially zoned lots. The subdivision, and future development, are anticipated to be within the number of dwelling units threshold for potentially significant air quality impact established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District as depicted in SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook (Source 3) page 6-10, Table 6.2. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.d. There are no known sensitive receptors to pollutant concentrations in the immediate vicinity. The future development of the project for single family homes will create minor pollutants during the grading and construction phase of the project emanating from fugitive dust and small quantities of construction equipment pollutants. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. The future residents are not likely to generate significant pollutants. Therefore, impacts will be less than significant as a result of this project. 5,e. The project may create objectionable odors during the grading and construction of single family home, however, these impacts are anticipated to be of short duration and should have less than a significant impact. \\TEMEC_FS101 \VOL1%DeptS%PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 8 6. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: C= Issues and SuODortjng information Sources Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections? Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Result in inadequate emergency access? Result in inadequate parking capacity? Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks? Less Than Significant ImDaC~ NO Comments: 6.a, b. There will be an increase in vehicle trips on adjacent streets once the proposed subdivision 6.c 6.d 6.e. 6.f is developed. Due to the number of lots the vehicle trip count per, the City's Traffic Engineer and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) estimates the total vehicle trips per day for 8 single- family residences would be approximately 80 daily trips, The City's Traffic Engineer indicated that the future single family development will have a less than significant impact to the existing road system due to the maximum capacity of the existing road system, The existing roadways have been developed in anticipation of the proposed residential development, No further traffic studies were required for this project, The development of tract will be required to contribute traffic signal and public facility development impact fees prior to the issuance of any building permits. No significant impacts are anticipated. Neither the tract map nor the future development of this property will result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks. This site is not within the French Valley Airport's flight overlay district and therefore will have no impact on the project. The project will not result in hazards to safety from design features. The project is designed to current City standards and does not propose any hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or inadequate access to nearby uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. The project does not interfere with access to nearby uses and will install improvements to Ynez Road. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The proposed project is for the subdivision of land; therefore no parking is required. Subsequent development of the proposed parcels will be required to comply with the City's Development Code parking requirements for the residential use. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL 1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389Da98 new IES ,doc 9 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the project: C, Issues and Supl~omn9 inforrnat~on Sources Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California DeparLment of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? Have a substantial adverse effect of federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filing, hydrological interruption, or other means? Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? Conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Comments: 7.a-d. 7.e. 7.f. The project site for the tract map does not lie within in an area designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as potential habitat for any Federally listed endangered species. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, including, but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds. The project site has been previously disturbed and graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on the site. Further, there is no indication that any wildlife species exist at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species, provide a barrier to the migration of animals or deteriorate existing habitat. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated species. Locally designated species are protected in the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan; however, they are not protected elsewhere in the City. Since this project is not located in Old Town, and since there are no locally designated species on site, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. The project will be conditioned to comply with provisions of Chapter 8.24 of the Temecula Municipal Code (Habitat Conservation) which requires payment of the Stephens Kangaroo Rat fee. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL 1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389Da98 new IES .dec 10 8. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: ~ssues and Suppomng Information Sources Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Comments: 8.a,b. The project will not result in the loss of available, known mineral resources nor in the loss of an available, locally important mineral resource recovery site. The State Geologist has classified the City of Temecula a classification of MRZ-3a, containing areas of sedimentary deposits, which have the potential for supplying sand and gravel for concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, these areas are determined as not containing deposits of significant economic value based upon available data in reports prepared in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: Issues and Supporting Information Sources i Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transportation, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one- quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? \\TEMEC_FS 101 ~VOL 1 \DeDts\PLANNING~CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Unless Mitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact No Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Comments: The project is for the future development of single family homes in a residential area. The streets leading to this subdivision are not transportation routes designated for commercial haulors who may be transporting hazardous materials. Because the property and the surrounding area are and will be used for single family homes, this project is not likely to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transportation, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.b. The future development associated with this project will be single family homes. As such it is reasonably expected that residents will not will not store or house large quantities of hazardous material that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.c. The future use of this project site is designated for single family homes. This site is not within one- quarter mile of an existing school. The operation of construction equipment and machinery during the development of this site may emit some hazardous emissions and or handle some hazardous material. However, these emissions and material should be of limited quantities over a short duration of time. Although, this project site in within one-quarter mile of an existing school, it will not continue to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste, therefore, no impacts are anticipated. 9.d. This project site is not nor is it located near a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 that would it create a significant hazard tO the public or the environment. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.e, f. The project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public or private airstrip. No impact upon airport uses will result from this proposal. 9.g. The project will take access from maintained public streets and will therefore not impede emergency response or evacuation plans. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.h. This project site in an area entirely surrounded by existing single family homes and is not adjacent to any wildlands. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS101 \VOL1 \Delats\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 10. NOISE. Would the project result in: f, Issues and Supporung Information Sources Exposure of people to severe noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Potentially : J S~gnificant ~ Less Than Unless Mitigation p S~gnsficant ~ NO Comments: 10.a. This project site is designated for the development of single family homes. The site is currently vacant and development of the land logically will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. However, long- term noise generated by this project would be within the limits of the General Plan standards for residential development. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 10.b. This project site is designated for the development of single family homes. There will be no activities on this site that would exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. No impacts are anticipated. 10.c. The project will ultimately result in the development of 24 single family homes which will create some noise levels over that currently emanating from the vacant land. However, those noises will not be substantial nor permanent and are not anticipated to create a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. Therefore, only less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. lO.d. The project may result in temporary or periodic increases in ambient noise levels during construction. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying. However, this source of noise from construction of the project will be of short duration and therefore would not be considered significant. Furthermore, construction activity will comply with City ordinances regulating the hours of activity in residential areas. No significant impacts are anticipated. 10.e. This project is not within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, therefore, people residing in the project area will not be to excessive noise levels generated by an airport. \\TEMEC_FS101 \VOL1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES,doc 13 11. PUBLIC SERVICES: Would the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered Government services in any of the following areas: Isst.le$ and SuPPorting Information Sources 'Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associates with the provisions of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services? b. Fire protection? NO , linDact c. Police protection? d. ',Schools? ,/' e. Parks? ,/' f' i Other public facilities? ,/' Comments: 11.a., b., c., e. and f. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered fire, police, recreation or other public facilities. The project will incrementally increase the need for these services. However, the project will contribute its fair share through the City's Development Impact Fees to the maintenance or provision of services from these entities. Due to its small scale, less than significant impacts are anticipated. 11.d. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City. The cumulative effect from the project will be mitigated through the payment of applicable School Fees. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. \\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project: ~ssues and Supporting Information Sources Exceed wastewater treatment. requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Less Than Signihcant 12.a., b. and e. The project will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements, require the construction of new treatment facilities, nor affect the capacity of treatment providers. The project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. However, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Moreover, the project will be conditioned to comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board standards that will be monitored by the Department of Public Works. No significant impacts are anticipated. 12.c. The project will not result in the need for new storm water drainage facilities. The development of the tract will require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities on site that will connect to the existing system currently in place along Via La Vida and at the southwest comer of the site. The design of the existing system is sufficient handle this project and will not require the expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. Drainage fees are required by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to reimburse the county for the Murrieta Creek/Temecuia Valley Area Drainage Plan. No significant impacts are anticipated. 12.d. The project will not significantly impact existing water supplies nor require expanded water entitlements. The project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's Generat Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to ~\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL 1 \Depts\PLANNI NG\CEQA\389pa98 new IES .doc supply as much water as iS required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project, 12.f,g. The project will not result in a need for new landfill capacity. Any potential impacts from solid wastar created by this development can be mitigated through participation in Source Reduction and Recycling Programs, which are implemented by the City. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13, AESTHETICS. Would the project: Issues and Supporting Information Sources Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Potentially Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Unless Mitigation Significant impact Incorporated impact No Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcropping, and historic building within a state scenic highway? Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: 13.a. The project will not affect a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in an area where there is a scenic vista. The City does not have any designated scenic highways. No impacts are ar~ticipated as a result of this project. 13.b-c.The project site has no unique physical attributes, therefore the future development will not substantially degrade any scenic resources, or alter the visual character. When the residential structures are built, the design of the homes will be reviewed by the Planning Department to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area and a high quality architectural design. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.d. The project will have a potentially significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in light and glare with the installation of new light sources. All light and glare has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. The future development of the project site will be conditioned to comply with Ordinance No. 655 Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution. After mitigation is performed, less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. \\TEMEC_FS101 ~VOL1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 14. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: Issues an~ Supoorhng informarson Sources Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 1506.5? Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 1506.5? Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of format cemeteries? Less Than Signdlcant Impact No Comments: 14 a thru d The site is located in an area that has high archaelogical sensitivity pursuant to the General Plan (Source 1, Figure, 5-6). Figure 5-7 of the General Plan indicates that the subject site is located within an area of potential paleontological sensitivity. The Eastern Information Center of the University of California at Riverside (UCR) has reviewed the project and has determined that a Phase I cultural resource study identified no cultural resources. UCR recommends that if, during construction, cultural resources are encountered, work should be halted or diverted in the immediate area while a qualified archaeologist evaluated the finds and makes recommendations. Therefore, with appropriate mitigation measures placed on the project and review of UCR, a less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project. 15. RECREATION. Would the project: Potentsally Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Unless Mitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact Issues and Supporting information Sources Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require ,/ the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Comments: 15.a,b. The project will have an impact on the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities, or affect existing recreational opportunities. However, the project will be conditioned to pay in- lieu (Quimby) fees, which will be used for park land acquisition of future park land and/or improvements of existing parks. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. ',\TEMEC_FS 101 \VOL1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA\389pa98 new IES.doc 16. Agricultural Resources. Would the project: Issues and Supporting Info{mat~on Sources Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? Conflict with the existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion , of farmland, to non-agricultural use? Less Than Significant impact Impact Comments: 16a,c. The project site is not currently in agricultural production and in the historic past has not ever formerly been used for agricultural purposes. In addition this property is not considered prime or unique of Farmland of statewide importance pursuant the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency or the City of Temecula's General Plan. Therefore, there are no impacts related to this issue, 16b. The project site does not have an agricultural zoning designation by the City of Temecula, and the site is not regulated by a Williamson Act contract. As a consequence there are no impacts related to this issue. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Issues and Supporting Information Sources 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 community, reduce the number of restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects? Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Potentially Potentially Signihcant Less Than Significant UnlessMitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact NO Impact \%TEMEC_FS101 \VOL1 \DeptS\PLANNING\CEQA%389pa98 new IES.doc 18 Cornmerits; 17.a. This site has been previously graded and is completely surrounded by residential development and does not contain any viable habitat for fish or wildlife species. This is an in-fill development and it does not 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 community, reduce the number of restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 17.b. The cumulative effects from the project are not considered significant because the subject site is being development in conformance with the City of Temecula's General Plan and Development Code. All cumulative effects for the various land uses of the subject site as well as the surrounding developments were analyzed in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Given the projects consistency with the General Plan and Development Code, the cumulative impact related to the development of the 8 residential lots will not have a significant impact. 17.c. The tract map and the future development of single family homes will not ha~,e environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, directly or indirectly, The subdivision is designed and will be developed consistent with the Development Code and General Plan. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 18. EARLIER ANALYSES.
