On December 17, 1996, the City Council approved the Temecula Regional Center Development Agreement. On September 26, 2006, the City Council approved a Development Agreement Amendment and Environmental Impact Report Addendum to extend the term of the Development Agreement an additional three years, to expire in January, 2010, for subsequent G:\Plannlng\2OO6\PAOfl.{)293 Promenade Mall Expansion DP CUPlPlannlngIPC STAFF REPORT rev 2.21.07.doc 2 construction of the final phase of retail commercial space and parking facilities within the Temecula Regional Center core commercial area. As part of the approval of the First Amendment, the City Council found that a supplemental or subsequent EIR need not be prepared, and that the City may rely on the Addendum to approve the proposed extension to the Development Agreement and the construction of the Final Phase of the Specific Plan. On October 3, 2006, Forest City Development submitted Planning Application No. PA06-0293. Staff met with the applicant on October 16, 2006, October 30,2006 and on November 7,2006 to discuss design issues with the Development Review Committee. A Planning Commission subcommittee (Commissioners Chiniaeff and Guerriero) also met with the applicant on October 30, 2006. On January 9. 2007, staff and the project applicant met with the owners of Bel Villaggio, Power Center 1 ("Temecula Commons") and Power Center 2 to discuss the project. Several meetings with the owners of the adjacent Bel Villaggio development and the project applicant were held between January and February to discuss concerns over site design and impacts to Bel Villaggio. In addition, City Council and Planning Commission members toured the recently opened Otay Ranch Town Center with the project applicant to visit a similarly designed facility. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. ANALYSIS DeveloDment Plan The proposed project would be developed within Planning Area 2 of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan (SP 263) located primarily between the current Macy's department store and Edwards Cinema, and also on the north side of the Edwards Cinema within the current core shopping area. The Temecula Regional Center SpeCific Plan allows for the construction of 2,483,000 square feet of retaiVcommercial space, with 1,375,000 square feet to be within the retail core ("Mall"). To date. 2,117,545 square feet have been approved and constructed within the Specific Plan and 1,248,604 square feet within the retail core ("Mall"), leaving a remainder of 126,396 square feet to be constructed within the retail C()re. Consistent with the approved Specific Plan, the proposed project includes the development of 125,950 square feet of retail space and 2 parking structures to support the additional square footage. Site Desion The proposed expansion is designed as an outdoor life-style main street shopping center to accommodate both pedestrians and vehicles. The existing parking lot between Macy's and the EdWards Cinema, and the existing outdoor plaza at the Edwards Cinema, would be reconfigured to accommodate the proposed expansion. The project is designed with two parking structures at the west and east boundaries of the expansion area, new retail buildings flanking the Main Street (which will wrap in front of the Edwards Cinema), and a new retail building to the east of the existing cinema. The new retail buildings would be constructed to create a pedestrian and vehicular "main street." Several new plazas, paseos and courtyards would be created within the project. A new ou1door plaza would be created between Buildings A and B where a new mall entrance will be created. In addition, a new entrance to the Macy's building would be provided from the proposed plaza between Buildings A and C. The existing plaza at the EdWards Cinema will be reconfigured to provide for a 'park-like' setting. Paseos will be provided to connect the parking structures with the retail component of the project. G:\Plannlng\2006\PA0fl.{)293 Promenade Mall Expansion DP CUPlPlannlnglPC STAFF REPORT rev 2.21.07.doc 3 The main street design concept achieves the goal of the Specific Plan by encouraging "public gathering places, plazas, sitting areas, public art and water features." Pedestrian connectivity to the adjacent Bel Villaggio site will be provided via enhanced pavers at the "main streef' entrance and the entrance to Bel Villaggio across the Loop Road. The project conforms to the development regulations of the T emecula Regional Center Specific Plan (SP-7) zoning ordinance. The building setbacks, separations, and heights meet the minimum requirements of the Specific Plan. The Floor Area Ratio is below the target ratio for the zoning district and the proposed lot coverage is below the maximum permitted lot coverage. Circulation and Parkinq The Department of Public Works has analyzed the traffic impacts of the proposed project and has determined that the impacts are consistent with the traffic volumes projected for the site by the previously approved City of Temecula General Plan EIR (as updated) and Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan EIR. The Fire Department has also reviewed the plan and determined that there is proper access and circulation to provide emergency services to the site. Primary access to the proposed expansion would be from Camino Campos Verdes LanelLoop Road. Vehicular access would traverse the 'main street' of the proposed life-style shopping center, providing a connection through the site from Camino Campos Verdes back to the Mall Loop Road (to the secondary access drive at the Loop Road, across from Bel Villaggio). An internal street will also provide additional access around the rear of the Cinemas. The east and west parking structures would not provide direct access to the Mall Loop Road. Instead, vehicles would enter the structures from the internal parking lot drive aisles. The west structure provides one access point along the east side of the Macy's store. The east structure will provide two access points, one along the eastern-most elevation of the structure and the other along the east elevation closest to the Cinemas. Loading/service areas are proposed behind Buildings A, B, C, and D. Staff has conditioned that these areas be adequately screened from public view and adequate signage be provided to prohibit public access to these areas. The proposed site plan provides adequate circulation for vehicles and pedestrians, and the Fire Department has reviewed the plan and determined that there is proper access and circulation to provide emergency services to the site. The proposed expansion would result in the temporary loss of surface parking spaces. ,However, these spaces would be regained through the construction of the two proposed parking structures. As a result of the expansion, an excess of 153 parking spaces will be provided on-site. The proposed expansion will also provide motorcycle and bicycle parking dispersed throughout the project site, per the requirements of the Development Code. Architecture The proposed architecture includes conceptual elevations and architectural details for the ou1door spaces. The conceptual architecture is consistent with the Specific Plan requirements for earth tone colors and materials such as timbers, stone and stucco finish. The design of the buildings incorporate varied roof heights and elements (towers), trellises, varied stucco finishes, varied building materials (tile; brick, stone, siding), window awnings, and varied roof materials (substantial cornices and seam metal). As proposed, each tenant space will have a defined (yet integrated) faQ8de. The parking structures, as desigped, will incorporate colored concrete columns, and stucco pop-out enhancements with architectural detailing to break up the mass of the structures. The applicant has not provided elevations for all four sides of the G:\Planning\2OO6\PAOfl.{)293 Promenade Mall Expansion DP CUPlPlannlnglPC STAFF REPORT rev 2.21.07.doc 4 retail buildings or parking structures. Therefore, the project has been conditioned that the final architectural plans for each building, including the parking structures, shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Landscaoino The landscape plan conforms to the landscape requirements of the Specific Plan and City- wide Design Guidelines. Tree and shrub placement will serye to define plaza and entry areas, effectively screen onsite parking areas and soften building elevations. The project proposes to landscape 181,086 square feet or 20 percent of the site. The project will include a variety of trees, including Lemon scented gum, Washington Palm, Pepper Trees, and Crepe Myrtles. In addition, decorative paving, lighting, water features, fireplaces, and outdoor seating areas with shade structures are proposed to enhance the commercial center. The Specific Plan calls for 50% shading of the parking areas by trees. The intent of the shading requirement is to reduce the heat gain present with a large expanse of hard-scape paving. Providing an adequate amount of shading will reduce the heat gain, however the current plan does not provide this level of shading. The tree proposed for the parking areas is predominantly Eucalyptus citriodora. The citriodora species is tall and graceful and will be an asset to placing the 45-foot high movie complex in scale. However, the Eucalyptus citriodora provides little shade, and is used uniformly throughou1 the parking area. To address this concern, staff recommends conditioning the project to provide additional lower growing trees to provide more shade closer to the ground. A Condition of Approval has been included that requires the construction landscape plans to include additional trees that complement the Eucalyptus citriodora, such as Ulmus parvifolia 'Drake' or Platanus acerifolia, both of which are on the approved plant list in the Specific Plan. With the above changes incorporated, the project is consistent with and meets the intent of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan landscape standarqs. Conditional Use Permit - ParkinG Structures The Specific Plan requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for parking structures. The proposed project includes two parking structures (west structure with 2 levels, 90,800 square feet, and 241 spaces and the east structure with 4 levels, 332,500 square feet, and 934 spaces). Staff has determined that the parking structures are an integral component of the proposed expansion and that the findings for approval can be made. The proposed parking structures are consistent with the surrounding uses and will not adversely impact 'the existing buildings or uses. . ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The application for the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use p.ermit has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines. This review included the Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan No. 263, approved by the City Council as EIR No. 340 on October 11, 1994, including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein, the City Council's approval of the Addendum to the FEIR on September 26, 2006, and the subsequent environmental reviews of development plans for the Mall following approval of the Development Agreement. Based on that review" staff recommends that the Planning G:\Planhlng\2006\PA0fl.{)293 Promenade Mall Expansion OP CUPlPlanningIPC STAFF REPORT rev 2.21.07.doc 5 - Commission find that the .proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit does not require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration as none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEOA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist. The proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit do not involve significant new effects, do not change the baseline environmental conditions, and do not represent new information of substantial importance which shows that the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed in the FEIR and Addendum. The Development Agreement provides that the Developer has vested rights to proceed with the proposed expansion of the Mall and the parking structures. All potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit are adequately addressed by the prior FEIR, and the Addendum approved as part of the extension of the Developrrient Agreement. Any impacts concerning aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water. quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic, utilities and service systems, were all studied as part of the FEIR and Addendum. The prior approvals of the Development Agreement and the extension of the term of the Development Agreement by the First Amendment to the Development Agreement establish that the mitigation measures contained in the FEIR and the terms of the Development Agreement will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. The Application for PA 06-293 is,the vehicle by which the City confirms that the standards and requirements established in the Development Agreement for the Developer's vested right to construct the expansion of the Mall and the parking structures have been properly implemented and does not provide for any new structures or uses not fully contemplated and addressed in the Development Agreement. Therefore, a Notice of Determination pursuant to Section15162 of the CEOA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15164) is the appropriate type of CEOA documentation for the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit, and no additional environmental documentation "is required.' Although not required as part of the CEOA review, the Staff reviewed a Supplemental Traffic Analysis for the Promenade Mall Expansion, prepared by RBF Consulting which determined "that cumulative trip generation estimated for the approved Promenade Mall/Power Center I and II, Costco, Bel VillaggiolOverland Corporate Center, and proposed Promenade Mall Expansion pr.oject falls within the Specific Plan total included in the original EIR Traffic Study previously approved by the City." The analysis concluded that "the Promenade Mall Expansion project, as currently proposed, is consistent with the original Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan EIR Traffic Study." In additio,n to the mitigation measures incorporated into the project by the FEIR, the Specific Plan and the City's General Plan, the City entered into a Settlement Agreement with the County of Riverside, dated as of May 2005, in which the CountY. has agreed to require development in the 1-215 Area to become part of a fully and funded Community Facilities District for the construction of various roadways designed to reduce. the traffic on Winchester Road. CONCLUSIONIRECOMMENDATION Staff has determined that the project is consistent with the General Plan and conforms to the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan, the Development Agreement, and the applicable provisions of the Development Code. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution approving the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit subject to the attached conditions of approval.

The General Plan has listed the proposed uses, including retail, professional office and service-oriented businesses, as typical uses in the Community Commercial designation. The Land Use Element of the General Plan and Design Guidelines of the Specific Plan requires that proposed buildings be compatible with existing buildings. The proposed commercial uses are compatible with the surrounding commercial buildings currently located adjacent to the proposed site.

The Development Agreernent establishes that the Developer has a vested right to construct the proposed additional structures in accordance -with the requirements of the Development Agreement. The project as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable requirements of the Development Agreement, State law and local ordinance. G:\Planning\2006\P A0IKl293 Promenade Mall Expansion DP CUPlPlanninglPC Resolution from PThorson 2-10-07 2 B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures; The proposed project is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the project has been designed to integrate with the adjacent architecture and screened in a manner consistent with the Development Code with landscaping.

Section 3. Environmental Determinations. A. hi accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and consiqered the Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan No. 263, approved by the Council as EIR No. 340 on October 11, 1994, including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein, the City Council's approval of the Addendum to the FEIR on September 26, 2006, and the subsequent environmental reviews of development plans for the Mall following approval of the Development Agreement. Based on that review, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit does not require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration as none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist. ' S. Specifically, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit do not involve significant new effects, do not change th!3 baseline environmental conditions, and do not represent new information of substantial importance which shows that the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed in the FEIR and Addendum. The Development Agreement provides that the Developer has vested rights to proceed with the proposed expansion of the G:\Planning\2006\PA06-0293 Promenade Mall Expansion DP CUPlPlanning\PC Resolution from PThorson 2.10-07 3 Mall and the parking structures. All potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit are adequately addressed by the prior FEIR and the Addendum approved as part of the extension of the Development Agreement. Any impacts concerning aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic, u1i1ities and service systems, were all studied as part of the FEIR and Addendum. The prior app'rovals of the Development Agreement and the extension of the term of the Development Agreement by the First Amendment to the Development Agreement based on the FEIR and Addendum establish that the mitigation measures contained in the FEIR and the terms of the Development Agreement will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. The Application for PA 06-293 is the vehicle by which the City confirms that the standards and requirements established in the Development Agreement for the Developer's vested right to construct the expansion of the Mall and the parking structures have been properly implemented and does not provide for any new structures or uses not fully contemplated and addressed in the Development Agreement. Therefore, a Notice of Determination pursuant to Sectiont5162 of theCEOA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15164) is the appropriate type of CEOA documentation for the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit, and no additional environmental documentation is required. C. Although not required as part of the C-EOA review, the Commission reviewed a Supplemental Traffic Analysis for the Promenade Mall Expansion, prepared by RBF Consulting . which dete,rmined "that cumulative trip generation estimated for the approved Promenade MalVPower Center I and II, Costco, Bel Villagio/Overland Corporate Center, and proposed Promenade Mall Expansion project falls within the Specific Plan total included in the original EIR Traffic Study previously approved by the City." The analysis concluded that "the Promenade Mall Expansion project, as currently proposed, is consistent with the original Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan EIR Traffic Study". In addition to the mitigation measures incorporated into the project by the FEIR, the Specific Plan and the City's General Plan, the City entered into a Settlement Agreement with the County of Riverside, dated as of May 2005, in which the County has agreed to required development in the 1-215 Area to become part of a fully and funded Community Facilities District for the construction of various roadways designed to reduce the traffic on Winchester Road.

Project Description Summary: A proposed Development Agreement Amendment to extend the term of the Temecula Regional Center Development Agreement an additional three years to provide for the future development of the remaining square footage allowed under the final phase of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. 6. projecrt Sponsor: Temecula Towne Center Associates, L.P. II. PROJECT ASSESSMENT Background, Purpose, and Need The City of Tem6Cula proposes to extend a Development Agreement (due to expire in January 2007) for a periOd of three years to expire on January 16, 2010, for subsequent construction of the final phase ofretail commercial space and parking facilities within the T emecula Regional Center core commercial area in an area currently existing as a paved parking lot. The proposed project would be developed within Planning Area 2 of the T emecula Regional Center Specific Plan (SP 263) located primarily between the current Macy's department store and Edwards Cinema and also on the north side of the Edwards Cinema within the current core shopping area. The existing Regional Center currently has 2,117,545 square feet of existing and approved development. The approved Specific Plan for the T emecula Regional Center allows up to 2,483,000 square feet of development. The extension of the Development Agreement would coritinue the agreement with the City under T_ReglonalCenlsr 1_ Study1083106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY which the development of the remaining square footage allowed under the final phase of the Specific Plan would be implemented. In 1993 the City of Temecula certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the construction and occupancy of a new regional retail center, business and office center, and hotel and residential area, entitled the "Temecula Regional Center EIR". The EIR addressed the construction and operation of all allowed uses and intensities of uses for the proposed regional center. These land uses and intensities are listed in Table 1. The land use intensities adopted in the preferred alternative are somewhat less than would be allowed by the general land use guidelines based on the floor to area ratio given of Table 1- Detailed Land Use Summary - of the Specific Plan.

Under the proposed Development Agreement, the final phase of Specific Plan implementation would occur, allowing for buildout of the Specific Plan. The additional, square footage of retail space would be developed as part of the Temecula Regional Center, consistent with the approved Specific Plan in the same manner required by the current Development Agreement. The proposed Development Agreement outlines the responsibilities of the developer, Temecula Towne Center Associates, L.P., and the City to complete the Specific Plan process. Project Location The proposed project is located within the 179 acres (excluding roads) T emecula Regional Center Specific Plan (SP No. 263) in the City of Temecula bound by Winchester Road to the north, Margarita Road to the east, OvE!rland Road to the south and Ynez Road to the west. Construction Scenario Construction will consist of the final phase of development and parking structures that would occur at the Temecula Regional Center within the core retail area, central mall. The exact schedule would depend upon market conditions and availability of materials. CConstruction is envisioned as occurring between early 2007 and late 2009 and is estimated to encompass approximately one year to complete during this peiiod. During construction, detours and other traffic management methods would be employed as necessary within the constraints of the surrounding site as needed. No off-site traffic would be disturbed during construction. Temecula RegIonal Cemr InIIIaI SIudy/003106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center IN mAL STUDY Existing Surrounding Land Uses The land uses in the vicinity of the project are high-intensity urban uses. There is a mixture of commercial, office, and residential land uses consisting of multifamily residences, retail commercial areas, office and industrial development. The proposed project site is within the Temecula Regional Center, known locally as the 'Promenade Mall'. The Temecula Regional Center is completely disturbed, graded, and/or paved. Interstate 15, a primary north-south transportation corridor, is within one quarter mile of the site. Utility infrastl1,lcture (electricity, water, sewer, and natural gas) exists at the project site throughout the Specific Plan area. Winchester Road, Ynez Road, Margarita Road and Overfand Drive provide general access to the project vicinity. Other Agencies Whose Approval May Be Required The developer must submit a Notice of'lntent (NOI) to the State Water Resources Control Board for a construction NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit. This permit is granted automatically by submittal of an NOI to the State Board, but is enforced through a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that identifies construction best management practices for the site. The San Diego Regional Board enforces the SWPPP. ' The project occurs within the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) area, however, it will not be subjectto review by the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority as it is would be built on a completely disturbed and paved site with no habitat value for biology resources covered under the MSHCP. ' No other permits have been identified for the development of this site. Procedural Considerations As previously stated, the City of T emecula certified and adopted an Environmental Impact Report for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan in 1993 which included construction and operation of a regional retail center, business and office uses and other mixed uses including residential and hotel development. The EIR evaluated the impact of the development of the uses listed in Table 1. The existing and approved development associated with the Specific Plan is listed in Table 2. The first amendment to the Development Agreement and implementation of the final phase of development for the T emecula Regional Center may, therefore, be considered a second-tier project being implemented under the existing certified EIR. The City must determine whether the proposed project results in new significant impacts not evaluated in the certified EIR and must decide what the appropriate CEQA environmental determination is to make if it chooses to approve and implement this second-tier project. In this case, the T emecula Regional Center EIR describes the whole project in terms of objectives and facilities and evaluates the cumulative impact of implementing the total project overtime with all its elements. Under this, implementation of specific project components can be reviewed in the context of the certifiedEIR findings. In this instance, the specific project being considered by the City at this time is the extension of the approved Development Agreement for an additional three years and IlOnstructi6n of the final phase of the Temecula Mall as provided for in the Temecula , , Temocula RegIonal Center lnlllal Study1083106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES I City ofT emecula Temecula Regional Cenler INITIAL STUDY Regional Center certified EIR. Where activities or facilities being implemented for this project fall within the scope of impacts identified in the certified EIR, the CEOA review process for this facility can be minimized through reliance on the certified EIR to determine whether the potential impacts from project implementation were sufficiently evaluated in the original EIR to fully address significant impacts. The Temecula Regional Center EIR provides a baseline and cumulative environmental evaluation and determination for all the activities required to support the construction and full development and occupancy of the Promenade Mall and the surrounding uses within the Specific Plan. The City can rely upon the certified EIR and review the proposed project for consistency with the project evaluated in the EIR, which allows 'tiering' of any future environmental review as provided in Sections 15152 and 15385 of the State CEQA Guidelines, if subsequent environmental review is required (Section 15162, CEOA Guidelines). Existing cOnditions used to make impact forecasts in this Initial Study are not necessarily assumed to be the same as those in the EIR, as the project site for the final phase of development is now within the existing regional center. Analysis presented in this Initial Study will use 'a combination of existing conditions used in the EIR and existing today, depending on the most appropriate baseline for a conservative analysis. Section 15162 of the State CEOA Guidelines states: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless that lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record,' one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of neW significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of tbe previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was- certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: . (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration; (8) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or altematives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mItigation measure or altematives; or T emecuIa Regional Center I_StudyI083IOG TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES Cily oITemeoula Temeoula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY (D) Mitigation measures or altematives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Section 15163 requires a supplement to an EIR in the following circumstances: (a) The Lead or Responsible Agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if; (1) Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and (2) Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation. The City ofTemecula was the, Lead Agency for the certified EIR. Thus, in this case the City, acting as the CEOA Lead Agency for development of Specific Plan 263 - Temecula Regional Center, can , rely upon the EIR certified in 1993. Determining consistency with the certified EIR encompasses two tests. The first test entails a reevaluation of the plans for the implementation of the proposed project, as described in detail above, with all of the environmental issues addressed in the EIR. An analysis of each of the environmental issues is presented in this Initial Study which compares the proposed effects from constructing and operating the proposed project with the facts and findings of the EIR. To facilitate this process, the City hereby incorporates the certified EIR for the 'Temecula Regional Center' as part of this Initial Study. As is permitted by Section 15150 of the State CEOA Guidelines. the EIR is incorporated by reference into this Initial Study. The required summaries of the pertinent data for all issues are provided in the Initial Study evaluation which follows. Copies of , the EIR are available at the City of Temecula, 43200 Business Park Drive. Temecula, CA 92590 The s~cond test that may be used to determine whether a second-tier project falls within the scope of an'EIR is to determine whether new circumstances or reassessment of previously identified impacts may result in new significant impacts. As the text in Sections 15162(a) indicates "no subsequentEIR shall be prepare!l for that project unless that lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (Paraphrases of the State CEOA Guidelines follow). 1. Substantial changes in the project that may cause new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously .identified significant effects; 2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken and which may result in new significant environmental effects or substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or 3. New information of substantial importance shows the project will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed. (See specific project description). These tests will be applied to the proposed project and a determination made regarding the appropriate CEOA procedure to implement for the proposed project. To comply with CEOA and the CEOA Guidelines, this Initial Study is being prepared to determine if environmental impacts of the TernecUa Regional Center l...al StudylO83l06 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY proposed project were encompassed by the impact analyses contained in the EIR prepared for the Temecula Regional Center. Based on the evaluation provided in this Initial Study, the City will make one of the following environmental determinations to comply with CEOA for this project: . The proposed projecfs environmental effects were encompassed by the environmental evaluation in the EIR. No new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects beyond those evaluated and mitigated in the EIR will result from implementing this project. No further environmental review or determination is required. . The project and associated impacts fall within the scope of impacts identified for the entire Specific Plan. However, due to more detailed, project-specific information not available at the time the EIR was prepared, impacts and mitigation not addressed in that document are identified in the Initial Study. Adequate measures, however, are provided in the Initial Study to mitigate potential impacts to a level of less than significant and a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEOA determination. . The project requires some minor changes and/or additions to clarify impacts under current conditions but none of the current conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Under this circumstance, an Addendum to 'a previously certified EIR can be prepared and adopted. . The Initial Study identifies potential impacts that fall outside the impact forecast in the EIR and since such impact(s) cannot be mitigated below a less than significant level, a subsequent EIR must be prepared.

A 'No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced Information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A 'No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). A 'No Impact' answer does not require a source listing if it is clearly apparent by a reasonable person that the project does not affect a particular issue (e.g. the construction of infrastructure will not impact parking capacity). The source reference in the parentheses would be 'not applicable' or (N1A).

If there are one or more 'Potentially Significant Impacf entries when the determination is made, an EIRis req'uired. 4) 'Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated' applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from 'Potentially Significant Impacf to a 'Less than Significant Impact'. The Planning Department must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.

Issues (and SUpportIng information Sources): "-ally Sl_ "- Potentially Significant Unless Mligated Less than Significant No ,."... "- 1. LAND USE & PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? (1 a, 2,15) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdictions over the project? (1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11) y y c) Affect agricultural resources or operations? (1a, 1d, 2) y d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including a low- income or minority community)? (1, 2, 14) y e) Be compatible with existing land use In the vicinity? (1,2,14) y Substantiation: The general impacts to land use and planning of the Temecula Regional Center, of which the proposed project is a component, are for9C8St on pages V-1 to V-ll and V-70 to V.76 and throughout the Temecula Regional Center EIR. Land use impacts, both direct and indirect, were identilied as being less than significant, with one exception, from implementing the proposed regional center. The EIR concluded that the utilization of this site would result in the loss of approximately 201.3 acres of pasture crops and dryland grains and lands designated as 'Local Important farmland' and Prime Farmland. This was identified as an unavoidable, significant adverse land use impact of constructing and operating the Temecula Regional Center (TRC). 1 a. Imoacts Remain the Same or Less Than as Characterized in the TRC EIFi.; The proposed development agreement and implementation of the final phase of the approved specific plan for the Temecula . Regional Center would not conflict with the general plan designation or specific plan zoning. The final phase of development of the Temecula Regional Center is part of the implementation of the approved specific plan for the site and General Plan designation for commercial development. The proposed. project would develop the final phase of the specific plan in accordance. with policies contained in the specific plan and meet all other city requirements. 1 b. Imoacts Remain the Same or Less Than Chara~;o. ;LOj in the TRC ElF!. The proposed project would be required to abide with the applicable environmental plans and policies of other agencies with regulatory authority over environmental resources. These agencies Include the Air Quality Management District, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the State Water Resources Control Board. These issues were addressed in the appropriate subchapters of the EIR.. The project must also prepare and submit a Notice of Intent to the State Water Resources Control Board and prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Temecula Regional Center ,..... Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY In general, all projects In western Riverside County are subject to the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). However, the Temecula Regional Center site is completely disturbed, paved, or in the process of development and contains no resources protected under the MSHCP. The site is not within the jurisdiction of the Airport Land Use Commission as tt is not within the airport influence area of any airport. lc. Imoacts Remain the Same or Less Than Characterized in the TRC EIR. Prior to development of the regional center, the site was used for dry-land farming and pasture and was considered plime farmland and local important farmland. Therefore, the EIR considered development of the site potentially significant to agricultural resources. The site is now completely disturbed with most of the stte paved for parking lots or covered with structures. As such, tt is no longer considered valuable agricultural property or classified as important farm land by any local or state entity. Therefore, the development of the final phase of the Temecula Regional Center would not be considered significant to agriculture. ld. Im~cts Remain the Same or Less Than Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project is in the west-central part of the City. Surrounding uses include varying densities of residential uses, commercial uses, industrial and office uses, and the 1-15 freeway. The proposed project is withili the approved specific plan and would complete the implementation of the specific plan. The project would not divide an established community. It would implement part of the General Plan land use element and provide and opportunity for the City to collect more sales tax to support benefits for the community at large. The proposed project has no potential to cause a significant physical division in the existing community. 1 e. ImDacts Remain the Same or Less Than as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The" project site is wiihin an area developed with amix of uses, Including the regional shopping facilities and high density residential uses and industlial uses. The development agreement and development proposed would complete the implementation of land uses envisioned by the specific plan approved for the site. As a resulI, utilization of the stte would be optfmlzed and would support the existing and proposed land uses in the project area. Thus, it will not be Incompatible with the existing land uses. The final phase of development of the Temecula Regional Centerwoukl bEi completed duling operation of the remaining portions of the Regional Center and some disturbance of on-stte traffic would occur. However, no long-term land use incompatibility with surrounding uses would result from project implementation. Traffic Impacts on the surrounding area during construction would be reduced through implementation of a traffic management plan approved by the City. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of " development will be Implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, land use and planning issues, related specifically to the proposed development agreement and buildout of the final phase of the Temecula Regional Center, remain consistent with the approved specific plan and will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation greater than those anticipated by the TRC Final EIR. All land use and planning issues are forecast to experience less than significant impacts if the project is approved and implemented. No land use mitigation is required for this project. This finding is consistent with the data contained in the TRC Final EIR. Tomocula Regional 0._ lrlllal Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES --^' ...~ ,...

PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an effect upon or resuff in a need for new or altered governmental services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? (1,2,14,15) b) Police protection? (1,2,14,15) c) Schools? (1,14) y y y d) Parks or other recreational facilities? (1,2,14,15) y e) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? (1,2,14,15) . y f) Other governmental services? (1,14) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to public services from development of .the project as part of implementation of the General Plan arefor9C8St on pages V.93 through V-151 of the certified Temecula Regional Center EIR (TRC EIR). The analysis of the regional center, including the proposed final development phase, concluded that the project would not result in significant adverse impacts to any publiC services. However, the cumulative Impacts would be signifICant. The City of T emecula provides certain public services to the City's residents that are an essential component of the area's transition to a modem urban/suburban community. The services provided by or contracted by the City include: fire protection, law enforcement services (police protection), recreation, and library services. Other services are provided by special districts, or private service entities. These include: schools and medical services. Many of these services are self-supporting, i.e., users of the service pay a direct fee to a commercial operator. Others are funded collectively by the community residents through taxes or payment of Development Impact Fees. "2a. ImDacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project site is served by the Riverside County Fire Department and California Department of Forestry on a contract basis with the, City. "Five fire stations serve the T emecula area and are staffed by both paid and volunteer personnel. ' The closest ,,;..~~.. to respond to emergencies at the project site is the station located at 27415 Enterprise Circle West with back-up from the station at 28330 Mercedes Street. These stations are within a five minute response time of the project site. This project site has been generally included in the City Fire Protection Master Plan's facility improvements and staffing increases for T emecula. It is not expected that any new physical facilities for fire protection will be required to serve the project. The project site is not within a Wildland Fire Protection Area,l.e., an identified special hazard area that requires additional services be available from the California Department of Forestry. Mitigation was required to address emergency management plans for the Temecula Regional Center in the EIR. These resulted in a less than significant impact in this area. TemetIJa Regional Center InlUaJ Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES City ofTemecula Temecula RegionalCenter INITIAL STUDY The proposed extension of time and completion of the final phase of the mall is not forecast to cause significant adverse impacts to fire protection services and no additional mitigation is required beyond the standard City code and design requirements. 2b. Imoa.cts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EII1. The proposed project would be required to meet the City of Temecula General Plan policies and design standards that optimize safety. The proposed project would incorporate these elements. The site design will be examined by the City to ensure compliance with City circulation policies in the specific plan. Measures included to mitigate traffic impacts in the EIR, would also improve safety and may decrease demand for poliqe services in response to local traffic accidents. The City contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for police services. The Sheriffs Department has a Southwest Station located at 30755-A Auld Road near the French Valley Airport. A store-front station is located within the Temecula Regional Center at the Promenade Mall. The project site also has other law enforcement services available from the California Highway Patrol. The Callfomia Highway Patrol has jurisdiction along the Interstate 15 freeway. Mitigation was identified in the EIR to reduce impacts In this area. The proposed project is not forecast to cause significant adverse impacts to police services and no additional mitigation is required for this project. 2c. Im~cts Remain the Same or less than Characterized in the TRG. EIR. The Temecula Unified School District provides public elementary, junior high and high school education for the area surrol,lnding the project area. The proposed project would create no demand for school capacity as the proposed development would be retail commercial development. No housing is proposed as part of the final phase of development. No school facilities would be displaced. No mitigation would be required and no adverse impact to school facilities is forecast to result from implementing the proposed project. 2d. Imoacts Remain the Same or less than as Characterized in the TRC EIR. There are no existing parks close to the project site. Extensive regional park and recreation facilities are located within the area. These include Lake Elsinore, Lake Perris and Lake Skinner, the latter being the closest. These facilities offer camping, fishing,biking, picnicking, swimming and other related outdoor recreation activities. Additional open space recreation activities are located on the Santa Rosa Plateau at the nature park operated for hiking and educational purposes. The proposed project would not place any demand on existing local or regional park and recreation facilities as no housing is proposed as part of the final phase of the specific plan implementation. It would also not displace any existing or known proposed recreational facilities. No mitigation is required. 2e.lmwcts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project would result in the buildout of an approved specific plan. The City has funding sources in place to maintain roadways and allocates maintenance funds on an annual basis from its general fund. The ,..,w,..w..ad project would pay for and/or provide public road improvements and maintenance of roadways through sales taxes generated and provisions of the development agreement. The project is forecast to place a less than significant demand on the circulation system maintenance in the City. 21. Imoacts Remain the Same or less than as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Impacts to health services, libraries or other public services are anticipated to b6 less than significant as a result of implementing the proposed project. No housing is proposed as part of the final phase of development for the specific plan. A commercial development does not result in an increase in population or demand for health services. Therefore, no impact on library operations has been identified such that additional mitigation is required. Temecuta Regional Center InlUaJ Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES .. _. --,- ~. ... . City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY No housing .is proposed as part of the final" phase of specific plan development. A commercial development does not result in an increase in POPUlation or demand for library services. Therefore, no impact on library operations has been identified such that additional mitigation is required. No other impacts to public services are anticipated as a result of project implementation. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of , development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, public service issues related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All public service issues are forecast to experience less than significant impacts If the project is approved and implemented. No additional public service mitigation is required.

Would the proposal result in a need for new systems, or substantia/alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? (1, 2, 14, 15) b) Communication systems? ((1,2,14,15) c) Sewer or septic tanks? ((1, 2, 14, 15) d) Solid waste and disposal? ((1,2,14,15) y y y y e) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? ((1, 2, 14, 15) f) Storm water drainage? ((1,2,14,15) y y Substantiation: The general impacts related to utilities from development of the project as part of implementation of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-93 through V-151 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the FEIR concluded that no significant adverse impacts would affect any utililies. However, cumulative impacts would remain significant. Standard conditions and a few mitigation measures were identified to address project specific potential adverse impacts that were identified in the analysis. The proposed project may adversely impact utilities in one of two ways: first, during construction existing utility lines may be affected by construction and the lines relocated, either within the existing alignment or along another alignment; and second, over the long-term the project would utilize a particular utility service, such as power consumption for street lights, or may alter an existing utility function, such as the drainage system. This project will cause both of these effects and they are evaluated on a case-by-case basis below. The City of T emecula obtains utility services from a variety of providers, ranging from public utilities (electricity, natural gas and telephone) and publiC entities providing water and sewer service, to the City and County which T emecuIa Regional Center InI1IaI Study_'06 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City ofTemecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY provide for flood control and solid waste disposal services. These utility services are similar to the public service systems because they have limited capacity which must be compared to the demand proposed by a new project. As in the case of some public services, most of the utility service systems are self-supporting, i.e., users of the service pay a direct fee to the operator, which commonly includes a fee or a portion of the fee available to expand the capacity of the utility service system. Thus, for the water and wastewater system, a connection fee provides the capital to fund future improvements and capacity expansion to meet future forecast demand. Other than the ongoing storm water drainage management system, none of the utility systems, including solid waste collection and disposal, is funded collectively by the community residents through taxes or payment of Development Impact Fees (DIF). As discussed below, any disturbance and/or relocation of utility infrastructure would be coordinated with the appropriate utility. 38. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Southern Califomla Edison (SCE) is the electricity provider for the proposed project area. Some demand for electricity would be created by the need to supply energy for the proposed b.uildout of commercial space in the approved specific plan. The project and associated energy needs are part of the impacts analyzed for the buildout scenario in the TRC EIR and General Plan EIR. The electricity demand for this final phase of the project would be considered less than significant. SCE has local distribution lines on site. Potential relocation of lines within the specific plan area is not forecast to cause any additional adverse impacts due to the disturbance related to the proposed project. Southern California Gas is the natural gas provider to the project site. Demand for natural gas would increase as a result of developing the final phase of specific plan buildout. Any natural gas Infrastructure located within the project disturbance area would be protected and/or relocated during project implementation. Based on the overall energy circumstances affecting the proposed project, the energy resources are expected to be on line to serve the energy needs of the region, as already acknowledged by the local suppliers, SCE and The Gas Company. No significant energy impacts are forecast to result from implementing the proposed project. 3b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Communication systems including telephone, cable and high-speed internet lines, are available in the vicinity of the project area and would be used as part of project implementation. Any lines within the project disturbance area would remain in place, be removed and relocated outside the project area, or removed and placed at a depth that would protect them within the project area. In any case, the potential relocation is not forecast to cause any' significant adverse impacts. 3c. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR.. Demand for wastewater services would result from the proposed project. No septic systems would be used to serve this project. Sewer infrastructure is located within the project area and wastewater would be treated at Eastem Municipal Water District=s Temecula Valley Wastewater Reclamation Facility. Any sewer or infrastructure within the project area would be protected or relocated during project implementation. No recycled water lines exist within or near the project area. Wastewater services impacts were analyzed in the FEIR. No significant changes to buildout wastewater demand would occur as a result of the proposed time extension of the development agreement and construction and operation of the final phase of specific plan. 3d. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIA. The proposed project will generate demand for solid waste service system capacity during construction and operation. The buildout impacts of the proposed project on solid waste services were analyzed within the TRC EIR and found to be less than significant applying standard conditions and with mitigation incorporated. Solid waste T_Reglonal~ InlUaJ Study1083106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY capacity in area landfills, particularly the Ei Sobrante Landfill, has been expanded to provide adequate disposal capacity for cumulative demand. EI Sobr8nte has more than 20 years of capacitY available and licensed at this time. Combined wtth the City=s mandatory source reduction and recycling program and policies and programs for promoting recycling and waste reduction, the proposed project is not forecast to cause a significant adverse impact to the waste disposal system. 3e. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project is located within the boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). The p~oposed project would require water during general construction activities and during operation. Commercial development would require water for general operations, fire flows (if required), restaurant and other food service uses and landscaping in parking lots and other outside areas. The impacts of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan on water demand were analyzed in the EIR. Mitigation measures were recommended to reduce water impacts of the project such as complying with any requirements to install reclaimed/recycled water infrastructure if .applicable and installing water saving fixtures and irrigation systems. With implementation of mttigation measures, impacts to water were considered less than significant. Water lines are available at the site and any relOcation of water lines would be coordinated with RCWD. Recycled water may be made available as recycled water lines are extended to new areas near the project site. If available, it can be utilized within the project boundaries. 31. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Drainage improvements connecting the final phase of the specific plan to the master dralnage plan on-site and to the existing region-wide flood controVstorm runoff drainage system would be constructed as part of the proposed project and as analyzed in the ErR. Please refer to a detailed discussion of this Issue in Section 6, Water. The proposed project would comply wtth all Riverside County Conservation and Flood Control District regulations including provision for no net increase in incremental discharge volumes from the stte and for water quality r~uirements. Note that since the project area being converted for the final phase is already paved, no increase in storm water runoff will result from completing this phase of the project. Onsite runoff will be detained in accordance with Flood Control District requirements. The project would also have to meet the City requirements. The project will not increase the volume of flows downstream of the project and no significant project specific or cumulative significant adverse Impact is forecast for the storm water drainage system If the project is implemented as proposed. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during Which the final phase of development will be implemenied. Based on the analysis presented above utility isslles related specifically to the proposed project and incorporation of mitigation in the EIR, there wouid be no potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation All utilitY issues are forecast to experience less than significant Impacts If the project is approved and implemented. This finding is consistent with the data contained in the TRC Final EIR.

Impacts ReJYlain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project is the time extension of a development agreement and the subsequent completion of the final phase of specific plan development and will riot provide housing or lead to a significant increase In population or housing. This project has no potential to cause population growth that would exceed official regional or local population projections. The specific plan does allow for some residential uses, but these uses will not be implemented on the project site. Implementation of the proposed action will enhance the jobslhousing balance for the City by increasing the total square footage of development within the specific plan area closer to the tiuildout square footage identified in Tables 1 and 2 in this document. However, the proposed development only includes retail commercial uses at this time. 4b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project does not provide housing. The site is within the current developed area In the City and surrounding community. It will complete the construction of the specific plan previously approved and was included in the T emecuia General Plan Update and General Plan EIR in addition to being analyzed in the TRC EIR. As such, the proposed project is considered to be consistent with the General Plan growth projections. No significant extension of utilities and services will be required as part of the project. Existing utilities located on site may be relocated as part of the project to accommodate the final phase of development. The needs of existing and projected population for retail commercial services as anticipated by the General Plan will be partiaUyfuffilled by completing the final phase of the Temecula Regional Center. As it serves existing and planned needs, the proposed project has no possibility of inducing substantial growth within the City or project area in general. 4c. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIFi. There are no residences within the proposed project site that would be demolished as part of the construction of the final phase of the specific plan. The project site is an existing shopping center with no residential uses. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase 01 development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, population and housing issues . related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All population and housing issues are forecast to experience less than significant Temecula Regional Center Inlllal SIudyAl83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY impacts if the development agreement time extension is approved and Implemented.

(1, 2) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to transportation/circulation issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Regional Center are forecast on pages V-93 through V-117 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). Extensive mitigation measures were identified to reduce circulation impacts. The analysis concluded that with mitigation incorporated, no potentially significant impacts would occur to the circulation system as a result of the specific plan Implementation. However, cumulative impacts to circulation would be potentially significant and could not be mitigated to a less than significant level. Traffic impacts from buildout of the General Plan, which include the anticipated buildout of the Temecula Regional Center SpecifiC Plan, are also evaluated in the recent General Plan FEI8. Several intersections and freeway ramps are forecast to operate at less than acceptable levels of service, even with all feasible mitigation incorporated as a result of General Plan implementation. The proposed project being considered in this Initial Study is a proposed Development Agreement Amendment to extend the term of the Temecula Regional Center Development Agreement an additional three years to provide for the future development of the remaining square footage allowed under the final phase of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. 5a. Imqacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIFi. The CityofTemecula has identified the minimum level of service (LOS) as 'D' for City intersections not adjacent to the interstate freeways and LOS 'E' for intersections and ramps adjacent to freeways. As described above, the proposed project Temecu1a Regional Center initial Study1U83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Renional Center INmAL STUDY will generate traffic. However, the traffic generated by the final phase!>f Specific Plan development was anticipated by the TRC EIR and mitigation measures were included in the EIR to reduce traffic impacts to less than significant levels. However, the TRC EIR also identifies potentially significant cumulative impacts to the city circulation system due to general growth in the area that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. The General Plan EIR also identifies cumulative impacts to circulation that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. No new or greater impacts to circulation will result from project implementation that were not analyzed in the TRC EIR and recently validated in the General Plan EIR. . 5b. Imqacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. New road improvements were proposed and implemented as part of the first phases of Regional Center development. Any design proposed for road improvements or parking facilities will meet the City's design standards that are deemed to be sUfficient so as to create no traffic flow hazards. Based on the approved Specific Plan and EIR the proposed project is not forecast to pose signifiCant hazards to pedestrians, bicyclists, or motor vehicles. 5c. Imoacts Are Identified That Were Not Considered in the TRC EIR. During construction adequate emergency access and control must be accomplished by implementing a traffic management plan to ensure safe, albeft, slower traffic flow on the adjacent streets and within the Regional Center. The EIR does not analyze this issue area. However, the City requires a traffic management plan for all development as a standard condition. Therefore no mitigation is required to ensure this issue area remains less than significant because it will be applied to the final phase of development as a standard condition of approval. The Specific Plan and City design standards include features to ensure that hazards to safety from design features (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections), incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment) or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists do not occur. Implementation of these standards is sUfficient to ensure that emergency access constraints and hazards created by construction activilies are controlled to a less than significant impact level. Sd. Jmoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The existing specific plan and City of Temecula zoning ordinance include requirements for adequate parking capacity. With buildout of the Specific Plan, parking capacity would be increased If necessary using one or more parking structure(s). Therefore, there would be no adverse impact to parking capacity as a result of this project. 59. Impacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The design of the proposed project would not be in conflict with policies supporting alternative transportation. Mitigation measures are included In the EIR to encourage altemative modes of transportation, including public transportation, as they have the potential to ease general traffic congestion in the area. 5!. Impacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project does not affect any rail or water circulation systems 'as none exists In the project area. The project is not located within the airport influence area of French Valley Airport or any other airport. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and incorporation of mitigation measures in the EIR, transportation/circulation issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All traffic flow issues related to the proposed project are forecast to experience less than significant impacts If the project is approved and implemented.

(1,2,14) y y y Substantiation: The general impacts related to water issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-26 to V-3D, V-56 to V-58, and V-118 to V-123 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). No significant adverse impacts to the area drainage system and water quality would result from . the proposed project implementation. However, cumuiative impacts to regional flood facilities were considered potentially significant. Several mitigation measures were identified to address the project site hydrology and water quality impacts, including measures to control future runoff and to install required drainage system improvements for the project. 6a,d &e. Imp-acts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR Implementation of the Specific Plan was anticipated to result in changes to absorption rates and the amount of runoff from the project site. An engineering report (See Volume" of the SPIEIR), and drainage study were used to analyze impacts of . runoff from the implementation of the Specific Plan in the certified EIR. The project site is presently developed with impervious surfaces, asphalt and concrete. Therefore, subsequent construction of the final phase of Specific Plan implementation would not result in an increase in impervious surfaces. The proposed project has been designed to accommodate the storm water flows and these flows will be directed to on-site drainage facilKies. The storm runoff will be discharged into the eXisting off-site Tomocula Regional ee_ InlUaJ Sludy1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY system of man-made channels at a comparable volume to the existing volume of runoff. The flows will be deHvered to the regional drainage system, which includes soft-bottom channels, such as Murrieta Creek, that facilitate water recharge into the ground water basins. With implementation of mitigation listed in the EIR, the proposed project would not result in significant adverse changes in the local existing drainage pattem and absorption rates within the area. No additional mitigation beyond those measures already identified in the EIR is required. 6b. Imo.acts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Based on a review of pertinent FEMA and FIRM maps for the project area, the proposed project is located partially within a 1 Oo-year flood hazard zone and partially within the inundation area for the Lake Skinner Dam. Grading and drainage facilities on the site have reduced the flood plain impact to less than significant. Thus, the implementation of the final phase of the Specific Plan will not result in an exposure of new facilities to .signlficant flood hazards. As described in the analysis of 6.a above, the proposed project will be required to convey storm water flows to regional drainage systems in a manner that would ensure that no significant flood hazards will occur downstream. Potential impacts for this issue would be less than significant based on the lack of existing flood hazard and the implementation of mitigation measures identified in the EIR. Further, the project sUe is not subject to significant flood hazards from seiche, or tsunami. 6c. Imllacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIFi. The proposed project encompasses activities that would typically generate some urban non-point source pollution. Paved roadways and parking lots generally accumulate urban non-point pollutants (particles, trash, oil, etc.) This project would discharge into the regional system that flows into Murrieta Creek and eventually the Santa Margarita River. Varying amounts of urban pollutants such particles and petroleum products (motor oil, antifreeze, etc.) could be introduced into downstream waters from the proposed roadways. However, the proposed project is not anticipated to generate discharges that would require pollution controls beyond those already required by the City and was forecast by the General Plan for this area improvement. The County and cities have adopted stringent best management practices designed to control discharge of pollution that could result in a significant adverse impact to surface water quality. The primary . document containing the guidelines for the County=s Municipal Stormwater Management Program Is titled: 'Riverside County Drainage Area Management Plan, Santa Ana and Santa Margarita Regions' (2005). Specific appendices define best management practices (BMPs) that when implemented, can ensure that neither significant erosion and sedimentation, nor other water quality degrading impacts will occur as a result of developing the project. Since BMPs are mandatory for the project to comply with established pollutant discharge requirements during both construction (Storm Water Pollution. Prevention Plan, SWPPP) and over the long-tllrm (Water Quality Management Plan, WQMP), no additional mitigation is required to ensure this issue Is appropriately addressed. Compliance will be ensured through fulfilling the requirements of the SWPPP and WQMP, which can be monitored by both the City and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. 6f-h. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project is in an area where depth to ground water has been measured from 20 to 45 feet below the surface depending on seasonal precipitation and other factors. However, the potential to intercept ground water during grading and construction is essentially zero. Any grading would associated with the proposed project would be less than 20 feet below the surface. The proposed project is not subject to the requirements of Senate Bills 221 and 610 because the final phase of development Improvements do not have a water demand equivalent to or greater than the amount of water required for a 500 dwelling unU project (approximately 25!) acre ft. per year). ' As discussed in response 6c, surface water quality impacts would be below a level of significance with implementation of standard conditions. Therefore, ground water quality impacts would also be less than significant because the proposed project will not deliver significantly contaminated water to the ground T emecula Regional Cent8r Initial Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY water aquifer through percolation. The impacts to rate and direction of flow of ground water would also not experience a significant adverse impact because no pumping Is proposed in assoCiation with the proposed project on the project site. No significant adverse impacts to ground water are forecast to occur as a result of Implementing the proposed project. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which ihe final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the water mitigation measures in the EIR, water issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, water issues reiated specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All water Issues are forecast to experience less than significant impacts If the project is approved and implemented. New requirements for water quality protection have been Imposed since this project was approved, but the City mandates that best management practices be imposed to control construction and long-term potential water quality degrading pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. Because this is a mandatory requirement, no new mitigation needs to be imposed to achieve a less than significant impact on water quality issues. No new water mitigation measures are required for this roadway project. This finding is consistent with the datac.ontained in the TRC Final EIR. Issues (and SUppoItIng information Sources): -, ..- -.

Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including, but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? (1,2,14,15) y b) Locally designated species and/or natural communities (e.g. heritage trees, oak forests, etc.)? (1,2,14,15)) y c) Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pools)? (1, 2., 14, 15) y d) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors, (including, but not limited to Murrieta Creek, Warm Springs Creek and Cole Creek)? (1,2,14,15) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to biological resources from development of the project as part of implementation of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan are forecast on pagesV-77 through V-ll3 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). Several general mitigation measures were identified to address the project site biology resource impacts. The EIR concluded that no significant resources were present on the site and that no adverse impacts to the onsite biological resource issues would result from the implementation of the Specific Temecula Regional Canter InlUaJ Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY Plan. However, the incremental loss of biotic resources (non-native grassland/open space previously used for farming) would contribute to significant region-wide cumulative impacts to biological resources Two studies were conducted to evaluate biological resources on the Specific Plan site which includes the proposed project. The summaries of the studies and.technical reports are included in the certified EIR for the TRC and are incorporated by reference into this analysis, Mitigation was included in the EIR to reduce the Impacts associated with the development of the site to a less than significant level. The EIR concluded that with this mitigation, no significant, unavoidable impacts to biological resources would occur as a result of development of the site. However, cumulative impacts would remain significant. The proposed project would result in buildout of the Specific Plan as anticipated in the EIR at the same site .Iocation. No additional biOlogical impacts would occur from project implementation than were analyzed in the TRC EIR. Because they are where the final phase will be developed has already been converted to urban uses, the proposed project does not need to incorporate the mitigation measures listed in the EIR in the biological resources section. 7a. Impacts Remain the Same as Cha@cterized in the TRC EIR. The vegetation on the site was categorized as introduced, or non-native, grassland and the site used as foraging habitat for raptors. However, the site Is currenUy completely disturbed and/or developed with a major shopping center and other urban uses and paved for parking. No biological resources remain on-site with the exception of some landscaping that has extremely limited value for use by native wildlife. The proposed project would not disturb or destroy any biological resources. There is no blue-line stream on site and drainage on-site has been altered through the implementation . of earlier phases of the Specific Plan as anticipated by the TRC EIR. 7b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The EIR found no species of concem occurring within the proposed project or oaks or other plant species of concem within the project site. The Stephens Kangaroo Rat was found nearby, but not on the project site. Raptors used the site for foraging, but the loss of foraging habitat at this particular site alone was not considered a significant impact. The site is now completely disturbed and/or developed with a shopping center and associated uses. Development of the final phase of the Specific Plan will have a less than significant impact in this area. 7c. Imp..acts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TAC EIR. No riparian habitat, vemal pools, wetlands, or jurisdictional waters were found on site. The site was used for dryland farming and was highly disturbed at the time of the EIR analysis. Since the site is fully developed with urban uses, no potential exists to adversely impact any wetlands. 7d. ImQactsRemain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. 'The project site is completely disturbed and developed for human use. It is also surrounded by other urban uses and isolated from habitat areas making it generally unsuitable as a wildlife movement corridor. The project site is not located within wildlife dispersal or migration/movement corridor and the lack of habitat resources indicate that the proposed project does not serve as a movement corridor. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, .and implementation of the biology mitigation measures in the EIR, biology resource issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation.

ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? (1,2, 14) b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner? (1, 2,14 ) y y Substantiation: The general impacts related to energy resources issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Temecula Regional Center are forecast on pages V-84 through V-85 and V-133 through V-137 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). Several standard conditions were identified to address the project site energy impacts. The analysis of the project concluded that no signifICant adverse impacts to energy resources would result from the proposed project implementation. However, cumulative impacts to energy resources from general area-wide growth were considered potentially significant. 8a. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project would not conflict with any known energy or non-renewable resource conservation plans. The proposed project is part of the implementation of an approved Specific Plan. Energy resources were identified in the EIR as being adequate to meet the needs for the Specific Plan buildout. Please refer to Section 3 of this Initial Study for a further discussion of energy suppliers in relation to the proposed project. 8b. Imoacts That Were Not Characterized in the TRC EIA. The EIR did not specifically discuss mineral resources impacts of the Temecula Regional Center as the County had found mineral resources Impacts to be less than significant in their previous Environmental Assessment for the City. However, the construction of the uses allowed by the SpecifIC Plan would use energy and non-renewable resources, such as concrete, steel and asphalt. However, the buildout of the final phase of the Specific Plan would have no greater impact than the buildout of the Specific Plan as a whole and would be Included as contributing part of the Impact of the whole project. The use of resources to complete a regional shopping center and provide services to the community as envisioned in the Specific Plan and Generilf Plan would not be considered wasteful or inefficient. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impact in this area. The site is not located on any known significant mineral resource and is not known to have been mined in the past. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the' analysis presented above, energy and mineral resource issues related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation.

(1,2, 14) Substantiation: The general impacts related to cultural resource issues from development of the project as part of Implementation of the Specific Plan are for9C8St on pages V-89 through V-92 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the project concluded that no significant adverse impacts to cultural resources woUld result from the TRC development. Several mitigation measures were identified to address the project site cultural resource Impacts. Archaoological and Paleontological Assessments were performed on the site as part of the environmental analysis in the certified EIR for the TRC. These studies are provided as part of the EIR, Volume III. 9a. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The paleontological assessment suggests that there is a probability that paleontologic resources exist on some portions of the site and that fossil remains and fossil sites could be adversely affected by activities n9C8Ssary to implement the Specific Plan project. In order to reduce this impact to less than significant, mitigation measures (including monitoring) were included in the EIR to be implemented during ground disturbance. The site has since been disturbed and almost completely developed. Implementation of the final phase of construction on the site would not involve grading to a depth where paleontologic resources are likely to . occur. However, application of the existing mitigation measures would ensure the impacts to paleontologic resources remain less than significant. 9b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The archaeological assessment concluded that no archaeological resources are likely to exist on the project site. A mitigation measure was included which requires that should in the event that any cultural resources are encountered during grading or construction activities, work shalf be halted or diverted in the immediate area and a qualified archaeologist shalf be consulted for evaluation of resources and recommendations. It is unlikely that any cultural resources would be encountered during the final phase of Specific Plan buildout as the site has already been completely disturbed and graded in order to develop previous phases of the project. However, implementation of the included mitigation measure would ensure that impacts in this area remain less than significant.

No significant historical resources were found on site prior to development. The site had been used as a farm and some remnants of structures were found on site but were not considered significant resources. No significant adverse historical impacts are forecast to result from implementing the proposed project within the Specific Plan site. The re are no known historical resources on the site and the site has already been completely disturbed and graded as part of the implementation of earlier phases of the Specific Plan. 9d. ImDacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project site is not known to have any unique ethnic cultural values. No significant or unique ethnic cultural values were identified during the paleontological or archaeological studies. Thus, no potential exists to cause adverse impacts to unique ethnic cultural values. . ge. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EJR. No significant ethnic, religious, or sacred resources are known to exist on site. The site is used primarily as a shopping mall with other accessory retail, restaurant and office uses. No adverse impact can occur from implementing the proposed project. Conclusion The proposed project is the I!xtension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the cultural resource mitigation measures in the EIR, cultural resource issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, cultural resource issues related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project Implementation. All cultural resource issues are forecast to experience less than signifICant impacts If the project is approved and implemented.

Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? (1,2,14) y b) Have a demonstrable negative.aesthetic effect? (1,2,14) c) Create light or glare? (1, 2, 14) y y Substantiation: The general impacts related to aesthetic issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-86 through V-88, V-148 through V-149, and of.the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the Specific Plan, including the final phase, concluded that no significant adverse impacts to aesthetic values would result from the proposed project implementation. Several mitigation measures were identilied to address the project site aesthetic impacts related to light and glare. 11 a. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project is set in the west- central area of Temecula which has been characterized by rolling hills with views of surrounding hillsides and larger mountains in all directions. The area has become urbanized and is developed with a mix of uses but dominated by commercial uses. The proposed project is adjacent to Highway 79, which is designated a 'Eligible County Scenic Highway'. The EIR determined that the project would have no sigJ:lificant adverse aesthetic impacts on this highway. The proposed project, would not impact undeveloped hillsides and ridgelines would still be visible in the area after the project site is developed. The site Is.adjacent to 1-15, but due to the level of development in the project area, the visual setting is not considered a significant scenic resource. Adverse aesthetic impacts to scenic resources from development of the site would be less thim significant with implementation of existing City Design Standards and Design Guidelines in the Specific Plan. These standards include design criteria that enhance the aesthetics of a project and require design and site layout that are compatible with the surrounding area. The project will be required to meet ~e City public works standards and any roadway improvements would be improved to General Plan and Specific Plan specifications.

The proposed project would extarid the timeline of a Development Agreement to provide for the development of the final phase of a Specific Plan. The final phase would complete the core area of an existing regional shopping mall. The surrounding area is dominated by commercial uses with some office, industrial, and residential uses. With implementation of General Plan and SpecifiC Plan development standards and design criteria the impacts of the proposed project would be consistent with the impacts analyzed in the certified EIR for the Specific Plan. Improvements would also be required to meet the city public works standards. Any negative effects to aesthetics would be less than significant. 11 c. ImQacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The implementation of the final phase of the Specific Plan would create limited light and glare that may adversely impact the surrounding area as lighting would be installed to enhance safety. These impacts would be reduced with implementation of the .night lighting standards as established by the General Plan and Specific Plan and that mandate that each project conform to Palomar Observatory lighting requirements as established in Riverside County Ordinance 655. With implementation of these mandatory design requirements for lighting and the mitigation measures included in the EIR, the proposed project will not cause significant night lighting impacts. ~ Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the aesthetic mitigation measures in the EIR, llesthetic issues are not forecast to experience signifICant adverse impacts from project Implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, aesthetic Issues related specifically to the proposed Development Agreement and final phase of Specific Plan development will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All aesthetic issues are for9C8St to experience less than significant impacts If the project is approved and implemented. No new aesthetic mitigation measures are required for this project.

(1, 2, y 14) Substantiation: The general impacts related to geology and soil issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-12 through V-24 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the Specific Plan, including the final phase of development, concluded that no significant adverse impacts to geology or soil resources would result from the Specific Plan implementation. Several mitigation measures were identified to address the project site geology and soil resource impacts. A geotechnical report of the site was pr~pared as part of the environmental analysis in the certified E1R for the Specific Plan. This study is provided' as part of the EIR, Volume 1/1. . The proposed project is located in a seismically active area as is all of southem Califomia. The Elsinore fault and Murrieta Hot Springs fault are located within one mile of the project site. However, no active fault traces or faults have been found within the project site. It is estimated that an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale could occur on the nearby Elsinore fault segment. Significant earthquakes have occurred on faults near the site. A total of 131 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater have occurred within 100 miles of the site since 1932. 12a. ImQacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The site is not located within a State of California Fault-Hazard Zone for active faulting and no active fault traces or faults have been found on the project sileo Ground rupture normally occurs along pre-existlng faults. As there are no active faults on the project site, the ground rupture potential is projected to be iow to non-exlstent. r T erneclAa Regional Center 1_ Study1083106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City ofTemecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY The City requires construction to meet its geotechnical design standards. The project structural engineer is required to design the project based on the site-specific soil and bedrock constraints and seismic hazards. Implementing the standards required by the City and the published geotechnical requirements would ensure that the potential impacts associated with fault rupture would be less than significant. Further, mitigation measures included in the EIR ensure that the final phase of Specific Plan will be constructed to meet City design standards. 12b. Impacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The site is located in a seismically active area typical of southern California and is likely to experience ground shaking due to earthquakes on nearby faults. The maximum credible earthquake for the Elsinore- Temecula fault zone is 7.0 on the Richter Scale. The City requires construction to meet City standards and the project structural engineer would design the project based on the site-specific soil and bedrock constraints identified in published geotechnical reports for the project site. Implementing the standards required by the City and published geotechnical reports would ensure that the potential impacts associated with ground shaking would be less than significant. See mitigation listed under 12a above. SRes with loose to medium dense soils in areas where ground water is within 40 feet of the surface are susceptible to liquefaction with strong ground shaking. There is potential for liquefaction in the northern part of the site as groundwater can be only 20 feet below the surface and soils are susceptible to liquefaction. However, the impact.in this issue area would be less than significant with implementation of mitigation incorporated from the EIR and would be no greater than previously analyzed. 12c. Imqacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The nearest known special study zone and active fault is the Elsinore fault located within 0.4 mile west of the site. It is estimated that an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale could occur on this nearby fault segment. Significant earthquakes have occurred on faults near the site. However, as the site is not within a special study zone, impacts to this area are considered less than significant. 12d. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The landslide risk-within the area is low due to the existing topography and the general competence of the underlying geology. Additionally, the site is now completely graded and developed as with parking lots. The overall slope of the finished project would not create a significant potential for landslides or mudslides. Therefore the potential for landsliding and/or mudslides is considered less than significant. 12e. Imrnjcts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The issue of erosion and sedimentation are discussed under issue 6c of this document. City grading standards, best management practices and the SWPPP and WQMP are required by mitigation to cPntrol the potential significant erosion hazards. The topography has been changed to accommodate development of earlier phases of Specific Plan implementation and has been graded to avoid erosion. Erosion of the onsRe soils is a potential impact during excavation, grading, fill and compacting ut'ou,;;Dns. HoWever, If grading does occur as part of the project implementation, compliance with City and County standards can ensure that the potential for significant erosion will be controlled on the project site and be less than significant. In addition, because the area of impact is greater than one acre, the final phase of the Specific Plan must be developed meeting current water quality requirements, inCluding the filing of a Notice of Intent and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). Since this is amandatory requirement, no additional mitigation is required to control potential water quality impacts to a less than significant impact level. 121. Impacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The soils on the site are susceptible to settlement from intense ground shaking caused by seismic activity. However, implementation of TemecuJa Regional Center Ir/tiaI Study1ll83106 TOM DODSON' & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY mitigation included in the EIR would reduce the level of significance in this issue area to less than significant. 12g. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRQ EIR, The proposed project has soils with generally low expansion potential. Therefore, impacts of expansive soils would be less than significant. If expansive solis are found on site, the City would require soli preparation methods be used to ensure that impacts in this area remain less than significant. 12h. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR.. The site has a rolling topography. However, this type of topography is typical of the area and no geologic features would be considered unique. Therefore, the impact to this issue area would be less than significant. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the referenced seismic safety,and soil erosion mitigation measures in the EIR. geology and soli issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, geology and soil issues related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All geology and soil issues are forecast to experience less than significant Impacts If the Development Agreement time extension and final development phase of the Specific Plan are approved and implemented. No new geology and soli mitigation measures are required for this project. This finding is consistent with the data contained in the TRC Final EIR. .......(and_InfonnaIlon.......)'

Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals or radiation)? (1, 2,14) y b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?(l,2,14) y c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? (1, 2,14) y d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? (1, 2,14) y e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush, grass, or trees? (1,2,14) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to hazard issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-59 through V- 62 and generaliythroughout the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the Specific Plan, including the final phase of development, implies that no significant adverse impacts to hazard issues would result from the proposed project. Several mitigation measures were TemecW. Regional Center InlUaJ Sludy1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City ofTemecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY identified to address the project site hazard impacts. A Preliminary Environmental Property Investigation of the site was prepared as part of the environmental analysis in the certified EIR for the TRC. 13a. Impacts Are Identified That Were Not Considered in the TRC EIR. During construction there is a potential for accidental release of petroleum products in sufllcient quantity to pose a significant hazard to people and the environment. The City requires cOmpliance with Best Management Practices to manage clean-up of potential spills of. hazardous materials during construction. The City also requires all spills or leakage of petroleum and other products during construction activities will be remedlated in compliance with applicable state and local regulations regarding cleanup and disposal of the contaminant released. The SWPPP would also contain sufficient measures to address accidental spills. Though the risk of accidents would not be eliminated, it would be controlled to a less than significant level by implementing the standard City policies. No additional mitigation is required to assure an accidental spill will not result in significant water quality impacts. 13b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project site would not interfere with an emergency response or evacuation plan. The City would require a traffic management plan to be implemented during construction that would ensure public safety and emergency access surrounding the site. Since the project is within a five-minute response time for fire protection and emergency response, the potential impact. on emergency response and access is forecast to be less than significant. The project will be built to conform to all City police, fire and public works standards. . 13c. Impacts Remain the Same as Characterized. in the TRC EIR. Building construction can be associated with some hazardous materials that, If misused or spilled, may cause a health hazard to those nearby. Hazardous materials can also be discovered during grading and/or other earthmoving activities. The City requires Best Management Practices be employed to minimize the risks associated with these unexpected events and the EIR also includes mitigation that would reduce the in;lpacts of this issue to less than significant. As a result, handling and managing hazardous substances and equipment would result in be less than significant impacts from this issue. . 13d. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Underground utilities are present on and near the site. However, the risk of these facilities posing a significant danger to the public is no more than occurs throughout the City or County where an extensive network of utilities serve each developed use. The utilities present are water distribution . lines, sewer lines, electrical lines, natural gas lines, cable facilities and potentially Verizon lines. Controlling construction activities as required in the following mitigation measure, the potential impact to the utility lines is considered less than significant. Also see Section 3 of this document. The Preliminary Environmental Property Investigation found no toxic hazards on site. No other potential hazards are known to exist onsite. Therefore, a low probability exists that the site contains any hazardous materials. The risk of exposure of people to existing health hazards would be considered less than significant with the mitigation in the EIR incorporated. 13e. Irripacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The project site is not located within a Wildland Fire Protection Agreement Area, i.e., an identified special hazard area that requires additional services be available from the California Department of Forestry. During project construction, City procedures will be followed so that all risks of accidental fire are reduced to less than significant. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be Implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the referenced hazard mitigation measures in the EIR, hazard issues are not forecast to experience significant Temecula Regional Cenle! 1_ Study1083106 TOM DODSON & AsSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY adverse impacts from project implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, hazard issues related specifically to the proposed project will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All hazard issues are forecast to experience less than significant impacts if the project is approved and implemented. No new hazard mitigation is required for this project.

Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? (1, 2,14) y b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? (1,2,14) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to noise issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-31 through V- 46 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the Specific Plan, including the final phase, concluded that significant adverse impacts to noise issues would result from the proposed Specific Plan implementation due to cumulative noise impacts resulting primarily from increases in traffic in the area over time. Mitigation measures were identified to address long-term project noise impacts and standard conditions for controlling construction noise. A Noise Assessment was prepared as part of the environmental analysis in the certified EIR for the TRC. This study is provided as part of the EIR, Volume III. 148. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. Con!ltruction of the proposed project would increase noise levels in the area and is considered a short-term impact to ambient noise levels. Noise generated by equipment can reach high episodic levels, but these episodes are of relatively short duration and typicaJIy restricted to day light hours. In order to control construction noise levels to a level consistent with the City Noise Element, the City would require noise reduction measures as conditions of approval for grading and building permits. Some standard policies include limiting the hours of construction activity, and requiring a construction- related noise mitigation plan for projects adjacent to sensitive receptors. The EIR also .identifies a mitigation measure to address construction noise and several to address construction techniques to reduce interior and exterior noise impacts. Given the location of the final phase within the Mall, the potential for significant noise impacts on sensitive receptors is considered very low. As construction noise impacts are of relatively short and temporary duration, i. .~~... ~lation of these mitigation measures would reduce construction noise impacts to less than significant. The EIR concluded that cumulative noise levels in the area of the project are considered significant and adverse aM cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant. The Specific Plan would contribute no significant stationary noise effects to off-site due to project implementation, but the noise levels in the surrounding area will continue to increase due to traffic. The noise increases are due to regional growth and location next to a majotnorth-south transportation corridor. The Specific Plan itself will contribute little and insignificantly to ultimate noise levels. No changes in conditions or the results of the analysis would occur as a result of developing the final phase of the Specific Plan analyzed in the TRC EIR. T emect.la RegIonal Center Initial Sludy1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES r , City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INmAL STUDY 14b. Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. None of the activities associated w~h the ,..w,.w"ad project, either during constniction or during operation of the completed Specific Plan is forecast to generate severe noise levels. However, in order to ensure that exposure of people to severe noise levels is reduced to a less than significant level, implementation of the construction noise mitigation measure and standard citY procedures Is recommended. No routine aircraft overflights or airport operations Occur within the project area. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in the EIR and compliance with the City of Temecula Municipal Code and policies. potential severe noise impacts would be less than significant. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the referenced noise standard conditions and mitigation measures in the EIR, noise issues are not forecast to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. There will be a significant and adverse cumulative noise impact due to regional growth. However the contribution of the Specific Plan, including its final phase of development is not considered significant or potentially significant. Based on the analysis presented above, noise issues related specifically to the implementation of the final phase of development of the TRC Specific Plan will not experience potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. Apart from area-wide cumulative impacts, all noise issues are forecast to experience less than significant impacts If the project is approved and implemented. No new noise mitigation is required for this project. This finding is consistent with the data contained in the TRC Final EIR.

(1,2,14) y Substantiation: The general impacts related to air quality issues from development of the project as part of implementation of the Specific Plan are forecast on pages V-47 through V-55 of the certified TRC Final EIR (FEIR). The analysis of the Specific Plan, including the final phase of development for the Specific Plan, concluded that Air Quality impacts were potentially significant and would not be reduced to less than significant even with mitigation. Mitigation measures were identified to address short-term project Construction air quality impacts, but impacts were still considered significant. Temecl.ia Regional Center ,.....

The proposed project is the time extension of the existing Development Agreement in order to construct the final phase of an approved Specific Plan. The EIR analysis concluded that implementation of the Specific Plan, including the final phase would result in localized and basin-wide cumulative exceedances of air quality standards. All emissions were determined to be at or above thresholds during construction and Vt''''' ..;;Dn even with mttigation. The proposed project impacts are relatively the same as those evaluated in the EIR. Note that regional air quality is improving slowly as vehicle emissions are reduced with new vehicles replacing older vehicles. This change does not alter the fact that emissions from the Specific Plan are considered significant because they exceed thresholds, but the fulfillment of the Specific Plan, from ajobslhousing standpoint and due to reduced vehicle miles traveled for local residents seeking Mall retail facilities, are consistent with the Air Quality Management Plan presently in place. .15.c Imoacts Remain the Same as Characterized in the TRC EIR. The proposed project does not include uses or encompass a large enough project to cause significant changes in area climate. No impact was identified and no mitigation was required. 15.d Imoacts Are Identified That Were Not Considered in the TRC EIR The EIR did not evaluate the potential for significant odor generation or exposure. During construction, the proposed project includes operations that will have diesel odors associated with equipment and materials. None of these odors are permanent, nor are they normally considered so offensive as to cause sensitive receptors to complain. Diesel fuel odors from construct/on equipment and new asphalt paving fall into this category. Both based on the short-term of the emissions and the characteristics of these emissions, no significant odor impacts are forecast to result from implementing the proposed project. Ccincluslon The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. Based on the analysis presented above, and implementation of the . . referenced air quality standard conditions and mitigation measures in the EIR, alr quality issues are for9C8St to experience significant adverse impacts from project implementation. Based on the analysis presented above, air quality issues related specifically to the proposed project, a time extension of a Development Agreement and construction of the final phase of a Specific Plan will contribute to the potentially significant adverse impacts from project implementation. All air quality issues are forecast to experience significant impacts If the project Is approved and implemented. The impacts will remain relatively the same as were analyzed in the Elf!. No new mitigation is required for this project. This finding is cOnsistent with the data contained in the TRC Final EIR.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of 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 or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? c) Does the project have impacts which 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.) y y y d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? y Substantiation: The proposed project consists of a proposed Development Agreement Amendment to extend the term of the Temecula Regional Center Development Agreement an addnional three years to provide for the future development of the remaining square footage allowed under the final phase of the approved T emecula Regional Center Specific Plan. The project is part of the City of Temecula Specific Plan No. 263. The construction and operation of this proposed project has been evaluated as having no potentially significant effects that are significantly greater than those analyzed in the EIR and that would not be reduced to less than significant level with mitigation incorporated from the Specific Plan EIR. In addition, changes in circumstances for issues such as biological resources (MSHCP), water quality (SWPPP and WQMP) and air quality (better regional air quality) do not result in additional significant adverse impact that requires new mitigation measures.. The following text summarizes potential impacts and recommendations. 16a.Potentially significant environmental impacts associated wnh the proposed project have been identified in the areas of biological and cultural resources for the Specific Plan in the Specific Plan EIR. However, based on technical studies for these issues, all but cumulative impacts to Wildlife and Vegetation were reduced to a less than significant impact level by implementing the mitigation measures Identified in Sections 7 and 9 of this Initial Study. With mitigation, all biological and cultural resources Impacts were reduced to a less than significant level, except for cumulative impacts. No further analysis of these two Temecula Regional Center /nltlaIStudyill83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES __e_~~~'. . City of T emecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY issue areas is required and the findings of this Initial Study are consistent with the findings in the certified TRC EIR for these two issues. The proposed project is being constructed on an already urbanized site and biology mitigation measures have been fulfilled and are no longer applicable. Generally, the potential effects on cultural resources have also already occurred and mitigation implemented. However, some impacts may occur and mitigation for cultural resources in the TRC EIR wijl be implemented to ensure that they remain the same as those evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. 16b &c. Potentially significant long-term and cumulative impacts of the proposed project as part of the Specific Plan were analyzed in the ErR and were associated with the following areas: transportation/circulation, air quality, seismic safety, agricultural lands, noise, circulation, wildlifelvegetation, flood/drainage, public facilities, and utilities. The adverse long-term and cumulative impacts in these areas would not be reduced to less than significant with mitigation. No further analysis of these issues is required. All other issues with a potential for cumulative Impact or short-term impacts to the detriment of the long-term environment were determined to be less than significant, or in some cases less than significant with implementation of mitigation. No further analysIS .of these cumulative Issue areas is required and the findings of this Initial Study are consistent with the findings In the certified TRC EIR for these issues. The proposed project would have impacts that remain relatively the same as those evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. 16d. The project complies with existing land use designations and zoning and with mitigation (or mandatory design requirements) for aesthetic issues, hazards, and noise impacts. Even with mitigation, potential air quality, circulation, seismic safety, flood/drainage, pUblic facilities, utilities and noise impacts associated with the Specific Plan, and this the final phase of development, would result in exposure of humans to substantial adverse Impacts due to the cumulative impacts of general growth in the area that cannot be mitigated to a level of non-significance. No further analysis of these human impact issue areas is required and the findings of this Initial Study are consistent with the findings in the certified TRC EIR for these issues. The proposed project would have impacts that remain relatively the same as those evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. Conclusion The proposed project is the extension of the existing development agreement during which the final phase of development will be implemented. The project analyzed in this document is essentially the same as the project analyzed in the Temecula Regional Center EIR. Thus, this Initial Study was prepared to determine what the. impacts of the revised project, which consists of a time extension of a Development Agreement in order to develop the final phase of a Specific Plan, would be equivalent to that analyzed in the EIR. This finding is based on implementation of mitigation measures Identified in the original EIR and City imposition of and enforcement of mandatory or sl<lndard conditions of approval when the final phase of the Specific Plan is implemented. The analysis indicates that no new significant effects will be caused by Including this modification to the overall project analyzed in the EIR. The impacts will remain relatively the same as analyzed in the EIR. Because no new mitigation measures have been identified and required for the proposed project to ensure no significant impacts will result from itS implementation, the City can issue an Addendum to the certified TRC EIR as the appropriate CEaA environmental determination. Neither a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR nor a Negative Declaration is required to comply with CEaA for this project. The City will adopt an Addendum to the EIR for the proposed project. The City Council will consider adoption of an Addendum to the certified Temecula Regional Center EIR to consider in conjunction with a decision on whether to proceed with the Development Agreement amendment and final phase 01 the Specific Plan as described in this document. ~ T emec:uta Regional Center Initial S1udy1ll83106 TOM DODSON & ASSOCIATES City of Temecula Temecula Regional Center INITIAL STUDY Yes No 17. DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME "DE MINIMIS" IMPACT FINDINGS. a) Does the project have the potential to cause any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on fish and wildlife? Wildlife is defined as "all wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat upon which the wildlife depends on for irs continued viability" (Section 711.2, Fish and Game Code). y The proposed project is the time extension of a Development Agreement for the purpose of completing the final phase of a Specific Plan within a completely disturbed site. The site is a developed shopping center and the project would be developed with.in an area that is completely paved. 18. EARLIER ANALYSES. A previous CECA analysis of the site for the proposed project includes the EIR for the Temecula Regional Center (Specific Plan 263) which was certified in July 1993. The recently adopted City General Plan EIR, 2005, also provided substantiating data utilized in the Initial Study. The proposed project is consistent with the Specific Plan analyzed In the TRC EIR.

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines section 15164(a) (14 Cal. Code of Regs. ~15000 et. ~.), the City of Temecula has prepared.this Addendum to make a minor change to a previously certified EIR. Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164(e), the Addendum must include a brief explanation of the City's decision not to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Project Description and Background The City of Temecula proposes to extend a Development Agreement (due to expire in January 2007) for a period of three years to expire in January 2010, for subsequent construction , of the final phase of retail commercial space and parking facilities within the Temecula Regional Center core commercial area in an area. The proposed project would be developed within Planning Area 2 of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan (SP 263) and .would be located primarily between the current Macy's department store and Edwards Cinema and aIso on the north side of the Edwards Cinema within the current core shopping area. The existing Regional Center currently has 2,117,545 square feet of existing and approved development. The approved Specific Plan for the Temecula Regional Center allows up to 2,483,000 square feet of development. The extension of the Development Agreement would continue the agreement with the City under which the development of the remaining square footage allowed under the final phase of the Specific Plan would be implemented. In 1993 the City of Temecula certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the . construction and occupancy of a new regional retail center, business and office center, and hotel and residential area, entitled the "Temecula Regional Center EIR". The EIR addressed the construction and operation of all allowed uses and intensities of uses for the proposed regional center. The current Development Agreement, adopted in December 1996, sets forth the obligations of the developer and the City in order for development to be consistent with the adopted Specific Plan. Under the proposed Development Agreement, the final phase of Specific Plan implementation would occur, allowing for buildout of the Specific Plan. The additional square footage of retail space would be developed as part of the Temecula Regional Center consistent with the ut't"V led Specific Plan in the same manner required by the current Development Agreement. The proposed Development Agreement outlines the responsibilities of . the developer, Temecula Towne Center Associates, L.P., and the City to complete the Specific Plan process. Legal Standard As ~oted above, an addendum should include a brief explanation of the lead agency's decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR. A lead agency may only require the preparation of a 915441.1 August 30, 2006 1 subsequent or supplemental EIR under very narrow circumstances. Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines states: "a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless that lead agency detennines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (I) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be infeasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternatives; or (0) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative." Further, Section 15163 allows for the preparation of a supplement to an EIR in the following circumstances: "(a) The Lead or Responsible Agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if; 915441.1 August 30, 2006 2 J (1) Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent ElR, and (2) Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous ElR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation." CEQA Findings The City prepared an Initial Study to determine whether the extension of the Development Agreement or construction of the final Phase of the Specific Plan triggered any of the conditions (described above) which require the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental ElR. The City hereby incorporates the Initial Study as part of this Addendum. The Initial Study evaluated the impacts of the proposed extension of the Development Agreement on Land Use and Planning, Public Services, Utilities and Service Systems, Population and Housing, Transportation/Circulation, Water, Biological Resources, Energy and Mineral Resources, Cultural Resources, Recreation, Aesthetics, Geophysical, Hazards, Noise, Air Quality and Mandatory Findings of Significance. The Initial Study compared the environmental impacts of the proposed extension of the Development Agreement with the identified environmental impacts of the approved Development Agreement evaluated in the previously certified Temecula Regional Center ElR. The analysis in the Initial Study indicates that no new significant effects will be caused by proposed extension to the Development Agreement and subsequent construction of the final phase of the Specific Plan. Nor will the proposed extension to the Development Agreement increase the severity of any previously identified significant impact. The impacts will remain the same as analyzed in the Temecula Regional Center ElR. The Initial Study also analyzed whether new circumstances would result in new significant effects or increase the severity of previously identified effects. The Initial Study found that no new circumstances exist that introduce new significant effects or increase the severity of previously identified significant effects. Further, the Initial Study analyzed whether new information exists that indicates that the project would introduce new significant effects or increase the severity of previously identified significant effects, or whether any new information suggests new mitigation measures or shows that the mitigation measures previously identified as infeasible are in fact feasible. The Initial Study found no new information that suggested new significant effect or increased the severity of previously identified effects. Nor did any new information suggest new mitigation measures or suggest that mitigation measures previously identified as infeasible were in fact feasible. Because the Initial Study finds no new significant effects, no increase in the severity of previously identified effects, no new mitigation measures and no change in the mitigation measures previously discussed, the City finds that a supplemental or subsequent ElR need not be prepared, and that the City may rely on this Addendum to approve the proposed extension to the Development Agreement. 91544 I..1 August 30, 2006 3 ..._~ . -.....

AlHADEFF SAlHADEff@A-SlAW.COM Mr. Robert Johnson Community Development Director City of Temecula 43200 Business Park Drive Temecula, CA 92590 Re: Expansion of Promenade Mall Draft of Points to be Included within conditions for the Main Street expansion of the Promenade Mall submitted by United Development (Bel Villaggio) Dear Mr. Johnson: Thank you for visiting .with us and the representatives of Forest City today. This Is the letter that I said we would deliver to you. I would ask that you include the letter in the administrative record of the City's proceedings In connection with Forest City's proposed expansion of the Promenade Mall (the "Mall"). As we discussed today, the Bel Villaggio commercial development has two owners. WGA Bel Villagglo, L.P. owns Phases I and II; WGA Bel Villagglo III, L.P. owns Phase III. This letter Is written on behalf of both entities ("Bel Villagglo"). Bel Vlllagglo has been consistent with regard to the principles and .conditions for Its agreement to support the expansIon ofthe. Mall. In brief, those principles and conditions Include incorporation into the Mall's Main _ Street concept, enhanced pedestrian access among the Mall, the MaIn Street, and Bel Villagglo's project, enhanced slgnage, and Improved. circulation into the Bel Villaggio project, Including controlled left-turn access from Margarita Road. Specifically, we have requested and continue to request the following occur with regard to the expansion of the Mall: S;1DaJa FIOII1 MlcbdlclClicnts\Unitcd i>evcIopmcnl Oroup\Jobnson Icllcr 02.12.07.1JOC ~ ..,~>-,.---'^ ---,.. -- ALHADEFF & SOLAR, LLP Mr. Robert Johnson February 12, 2007 Page 2 1. Incorporation of Bel Villaggio's project into the Main Street element of the Mall. That incorporation includes points of access between the Main Street element of the Mall and the Bel Villaggio project, the availability of the proposed parking structures for use by Bel Villaggio's tenants, and another point of access. 2. Enhanced pedestrian access, and assurances by the City of the same, In the form of integrated and easy access between the Main Street element on one side of the Ring Road and the continuation of the Main Street element into the Bel Villagglo project. All parties need to acknowledge this access may require pedestrian bridges. We believe the bridges may be funded through an RDA bond issuance. We also believe enhanced pedestrian access in the Main Street element is possible and appropriate at three locations: a. At the corner of Promenade Way and the Ring R9ad. b. At the terminus of the newly proposed Main Street. c. At the Ring Road entry to the parking lot opposite the northern Ring Road access to Bel Vlllaggio. , 3. From 'the Information that we received from Forest City today, we understand that Forest City is willing to do the following: a. Create a four-way Intersection on the eastern side of one of the proposed parking structures that Is aligned with Bel Vliaggio's northern access point from the Ring Road. b. Reconflgure at its expense Bel VlIIaggio's southern access point on the Ring Road so that it directly aligns with. the Main Street element's access point with the Ring Road. As we noted in today's meeting, the reconfiguration of Bel Villagglo's southeJ;ll access point presents several pOSSible challenges requiring careful analysis. They Include: . Satisfying any concerns that eel Villagglo's lenders might , have with respect to the reconflguratlon, Including, without limitation, possible impainnent of their security. ALHADEFF & SOLAR, LLP Mr. Robert Johnson February 12, 2007 Page 3 . Satisfying any concerns that Bel Villagglo's tenants might have under their existing leases, Including, without limitation, the possible loss of existing parking spaces. . Providing adequate and safe access for service trucks. 4. A slgnage program that benefits the Mall and Bel Villaggio's tenants. 5. Parking structures that are enhanced and attractive and not a "barrier" to Bel Villagglo's tenants. 6. A consideration of a controlled left-turn into the Bel Vlllagglo project from Margarita Road. 7. A construction schedule that recognizes and protects Bel Villagglo's tenants during the construction of the parking structures as well as the construction of the Main Street retail project. That recognition needs to Include an.agreeable schedule for truck and vehicle access related to the construction as well as protection of the tenants from Inconvenience of parking, noise, dust, fumes and tile like. That protection will need to include reimbursement for any out of pocket expenses or costs of Bel V1l1agglo's tenants. . 8. The ability to use the publ.lc parking structures, and consideration of parking availability to allow for an increase of square footage In Bel Vlllagglo's portion of the Mall project. At this point, we have Insufficient Information as to the finandng of the parking structures, what percentage the City Is paying, and what percentage the Maills paying. Bel Villagglo wants the opportunity to participate in any supplement or subsequent bond , Issuance to provide for parking for Bel Villagglo which would allow Bel V1l1aggio to Increase Its square footage by . approximately 16,000 to 20,000 square feet. We need to .explore and agree by March 6th, the City Council meeting date, on a mechanism to assure reciprocal parking and/or adequate parking provisions for planned expansion by Bel Vlllagglo. 9. . The process and procedure which will allow Bel Villagglo to reconfigure and Improve Its project concurrently with the ALHADEFF & SOLAR, LLP Mr. Robert Johnson February 12, 2007 Page 4 processing of the Main Street element of the Mall so that Bel villagglo may pull building permits in coordination with the Mall pulling Its building permits. 10. A three-party memorandum of agreement ("MOUrI) with the City, Forest City, and Bel Villaggio that incorporates the points that we have discussed and continue to discuss and that are contained herein. The MOU shall be adopted at the same time the City Council approves the Mall Expansion. 11. The opportunity as has been discussed to Insert language into the conditions of approval of the Mall's expansion which will benefit not only the Mall, but also the Bel Villaggio project. All conditions need to be agreeable to the City and Bel Villagglo. 12. . We have discussed with the City mechanisms to be Implemented through Conditions of Approval for providing future solutions for enhancing the aesthetic, functional, safety, and traffic-carrying capacities of the Ring Road. It Is our understanding that these studies will apply to all parts of the Ring Road, Including, without limitation, commercial projects located inside and outside of the Ring Road. Bel Villagglo desli'es to participate actively in that process. We request that the City and Forest City must guarantee timely input and participation by Bel Villagglo. Also there can be no Increased costs to Bel Villaggio for Ring Road Improvements, i.e., no Increased assessments. . Thank you for a copy of the draft conditions. From our meeting today, however, we understand that the draft conditions you sent us are no longer operative and that the City will be preparing a newly revised set of conditions. We will appreciate receiving the revised of conditions as soon as they are completed so that we may review and comment on them. At today's meeting, Debbie Ubnoske mentioned that when the City approved the amendment to the Mall's development agreement, it also approved a CEQA addendum and a project site plan. The approved site plan Is attached. Based on our meeting today, it appears that the approved site plan Is different than the project Forest City Is proposing. For example, the approved site plan does not show an entrance Into the Mall or an intersection aligned with Bel Villagglo's northern access point on the Ring Road. Also, the approved site plan shows one of the parking structures ALHADEFF & SOLAR, LLP Mr. Robert Johnson February 12, 2007 Page 5 being located adjacent to the Ring Road's Intersection with General Kearny Road and not with Bel Villaggio's northern access point. In light of the discussions the City, Forrest City, and Bel Villaggio have been having, these differences appear to be material and potentially problematic. Again, Bel Villaggio has always been consistent with regard to its conditions concerning thE! expansion of the Promenade Mall and the Main Street element. We believe by working together the expansion could represent a great opportunity. However, as presently proposed, the Mall's expansion has a number of challenges to be resolved. We look forward to the enumerated provisions set forth above being Included within the final Conditions of Approval for the Mall's expansion. Sincerely, )c.. ~ Samuel C.
