That the design of the proposed land division or
the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
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 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

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 commemial/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
D~ted August 7, 1990
This is a proposal to divide 69.7 acres into co~mercial parcels in the City of
Temecula. The site is located southwest of the intersection of Diaz Road and
Winchester Road.
This property is located adjanent 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 Murrieta Creek improvement.
Piecemeal design of portions of this major regional flood control project is
not acceptable to the District. Following development ofan 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 Murrleta 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 t~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 ,~e the District's reco~nendations:
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:
City of Temecula -2- November 16, 1990
Re: Parcel Map 24086
Amended No. 3
Dated August 7, 1990
a. 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
FEMA.
b. A copy of appropriate correspondence and necessary permlts 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.
2. This parcel map is located within the limits of the M~rrieta
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:
a. Drainage fees shall be pald to the Transportation Comaiss£oner 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
b. ~t the option of the land divider, upon filing a required af-
fidavit 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,
whiehever 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.
3. 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 ohannel 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.

Re: Parcel ~p 24086
Amended No. 3
Dated August 7, 1990
-3- November 16, 1990
The right of way for ~urrieta Creek, including the area required for
habitat mitigat£on 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. T~ls includes a 50 foot habitat mitigation strip on
each side which will be returned if it is not needed.
This development assumes that Parcel M~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.
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".
8. 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 recordat£on of the final map.
9. 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.
'~nen either of these criteria is exceeded, additional drainage
facilities should be installed.
12.
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 m~nner
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 we 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.
17.
Development of this property should be coordinated with the
development of adjacent propert£es 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.
~ster Drainage Plan facilities to be constructed as part of this
deveIopment'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 t~eir
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
D~strict 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.
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.
A copy of the improvement plans, grading plans and final map along
with supporting hydrologic and hydraulic calculations 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.

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
16, 1282.
This report determined that:
Tentative Parcel Map 24085 will be graded with cut slopes ranging up to
25 feet high and fill slopes approximately 10 feet high, both at 2:!
(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, mederately fractured, locally friable
sandstones and siltstones.
4. Proposed cut slopes made in Pauba formation sediments, having
favorable-oriented bedding planes, are expected to be grossly stable at
2:1 (H:V) to a mxin~m height of 29 feet.
5. Surfictal erosion is possible in both cut and fill slopes of granular
Pauba formation mtertals.
This report recommended that:
I. Cut slope excavations should be observed during grading by the project
engineering geologist.
John Chtu - Z -
September 6, 1989
2. Drainage on cut and fill slopes should be directed away from the slope
face. Oratnage devices should be constructed as per the Uniform
Butldtng Code.
3. Proper landscaping should be established t~medlately after construction
and nalntalned.
4. Slope wash and topsotl ~eterlals exposed in cut slopes should be
removed and replaced wtth compacted ftll materials.
This report satisfies the General Plan requirement for a slope stability

Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the seismic-geologic aspects of your report entitled "Report
on Geotechnical Investigation, Assessment District No. 155, Parcel Map 24085,
24086, 21029, 21382, and 21383, Rancho California, Riverside County, CA," dated
June 7, 1989 and your 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 Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed
Industrial/Commercial Site, West of Cherry Street and Otaz 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:
1. 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.

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.
The potential for seiches, earthquake-induced flooding and lurching is
considered to be extremely low at this site.
The mapped landslide at the northwest portion of the property is a
shallow, surfictal 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 l, Geotechnical Map,
revised 8-1S-S9/g-gl-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 net,rials shall be c~mpletely removed during grading, in
conformance with standard earthwork practices.

5. 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:
