A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REVISED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.
2012-045 (TRACT MAP NO. 32277) FOR THE DIVISION OF ASSESSOR'S PARCEL
NUMBER 372-080-031 INTO 359 RESIDENTIAL PARCELS RANGING FROM 6,000
TO 18,165 SQ. FT. AND EIGHT (8) PARCELS FOR OPEN SPACE, LANDSCAPING,
AND DRAINAGE.
Whereas, on March 19, 2012, the applicant, CV Communities, LLC, filed a
formal application with the City of Menifee for Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-
045 (Tract Map No. 32277) (the "Project") to divide Assessor's Parcel Number (APN #)
372-080-031 into 359 parcels for residential use ranging from 6,000 to 18,165 sq. ft. and
seventeen (17) parcels for open space, landscaping, and drainage; and,
Whereas, a duly noted notice of public hearing was posted in UT the Californian
on November 30, 2012 in addition, a notice was mailed to the surrounding property
owners within 300 feet; and,
Whereas, on December 11, 2012 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on the Project, considered public testimony and materials in the staff
report and accompanying documents, which hearing was publicly noticed by a
publication in the newspaper of general circulation, an agenda posting, notice to property
owners within 300 feet of the Project boundaries; and
Whereas, on December 11, 2012 the Planning Commission found the following:
1. Consistency with the General Plan. The tentative tract map is consistent with
the General Plan Land Use Map and applicable General Plan objectives,
policies, and programs.
The General Plan land use of the site is Medium Density Residential (MDR)
and Rural Residential within the Community Development Foundation. The
MDR land category allows for single-family detached and attached
residences with a density range of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. Limited
agriculture and animal keeping is permitted, however, intensive animal
keeping is discouraged. Lot sizes range from 5,500 to 20,000 sq. ft. The
project proposes residential lots ranging in size from 6,000 sq. ft. to 18,165
sq. ft. within the area designated MDR. The project is consistent with the
intent of this land use designation.
Surrounding General Plan land use designations are Medium Density
Residential (MDR) (2-5 dwelling units per acre) to the north, Medium Density
Residential, Rural Residential (RR) (5 acre minimum), and Rural Community:
Very Low Density (RC:VLDR) (1 acre minimum) to the south, Estate Density
Residential (EDR) (2 Acre Minimum) (within Riverside County jurisdiction) to
the east, and Medium Density Residential and Rural Residential (RR). The
project is compatible with the surrounding General Plan land uses.
The future proposed General Plan land use designations for the property are
2.1-5 Dwelling Units/Acre Residential (2.1-5R) and Conservation (OS-C).
The 2.1-5R land use designation allows for single-family detached and
attached residences with a density range of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
Limited agriculture and animal keeping is permitted, however, intensive
Resolution No. 12-128
Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 (Menifee Heights)
Page 2 of 5
animal keeping is discouraged. The intent of the OS-C land use designation
is to protect open space for natural hazard protection and natural and scenic
resource preservation. Existing agriculture is also permitted within this land
use. The project proposes residential lots ranging in size from 6,000 sq. ft. to
18,165 sq. ft. within the area to be designated as 2.1-5R and an open space
lot within the area to be designated as OS-C.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the existing General Plan land use
and there is a reasonable expectation that the project will be consistent with
future General Plan, including a housing element that is consistent with State
housing element law; therefore, the project will not be detrimental to or
interfere with the implementation of the future adopted General Plan,
including a housing element that is consistent with the state housing element
law.
The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City's
boundary, the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP), and the Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Habitat
Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). The subject site is within the jurisdiction of
the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County MSHCP. The project site is
located inside the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Fee Area. While the
proposed project is located within the boundaries of the Western Riverside
County MSHCP, the project is not located with a Criteria Cell or Cell Group.
The project will be subject to the payment of fees for a residential project
consistent with the Riverside County Ordinance 810.2 as adopted by the City
of Menifee. Therefore, the project will not conflict with the provisions of the
adopted HCP, Natural Conservation Community Plan, or other approved
local, regional, or state conservation plan and the impact is considered less
than significant.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code.
The project is zoned Planned Residential (R-4) and Open Space Combining
Zone - Residential Developments (R-5) pursuant to approved Change of
Zone No. 6949 (Ordinance No. 348.4611).
The project proposes to subdivide the property consistent with the R-4 and R-
5 boundaries. Typical uses allowed under the R-4 zone include one -family
dwellings. A minimum of 6,000 sq. ft. overall area per dwelling unit is allowed
(exclusive of streets and commercial areas) in this zone. The project
proposes residential lots ranging in size from 6,000 sq. ft. to 18,165 sq. ft.
within the area classified as R-4.
The R-5 zone does not permit residential construction. With plot plan
approval, the following typical uses are allowed in the R-5 zone: golf courses,
clubhouses, and appurtenant facilities, noncommercial community
association, recreation and assembly buildings, lakes and picnic grounds,
and cemeteries. The project proposes open space lots and a recreational
park within the area classified as R-5. As a standard condition of approval, a
Plot Plan will be required for the design and construction of the central park
Resolution No. 12-128
Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 (Menifee Heights)
Page 3 of 5
area zoned as R-5. The project is, therefore, consistent with the zoning and
development standards for zones R-4 and R-5 as prescribed in Ordinance
No. 348 (Zoning Code).
Surrounding zoning includes Planned Residential — 6,000 Sq. Ft. Minimum
(R-4-6,000)to the north, Light Agricultural — 2'/z Acre Minimum (A-1-2'/2) and
— 5 Acre Minimum (A-1-5) to the south, and Light Agricultural — 5 Acre
Minimum (within Riverside County's jurisdiction) to the east, and One Family
Dwellings (R-1), Open Space Combining Zone — Residential Developments
(R-5), and Light Agricultural — 5 Acre Minimum to the west.
The project is a subdivision of the project site consistent with the existing R-4
and R-5 zones. The project is compatible with the surrounding zoning
classifications.
3. Consistency with Ordinance 460 Regulating the Division of Land.
The subdivision is a Schedule A subdivision of 158.75 gross acres. A
Schedule A tract map is defined as any division of land into 5 or more
parcels, where any parcel is less than 18,000 square feet in net area. The
subdivision has been reviewed and conditioned for consistency with the
requirements for streets, domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal,
fences, and electrical communication facilities. The subdivision is consistent
with the Schedule A map requirements of Ordinance 460.
4. Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or
injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project
vicinity.
The surrounding uses include Holland Road and an approved tentative tract
map (Nautical Cove) to the north, large rural estate properties land to the
south with intensive animal keeping (e.g., horses and kennels), Briggs Road
and agricultural land to the east, and residential development and vacant land
to the west.
The project is a subdivision of a 158.75-acre project site. The proposed
residential lots are largely buffered from the land to the west by the existing
hills. In addition, the residential development to the west includes similarly
sized single-family residential lots. The project site is also buffered from the
large -lot rural estate properties to the south by a 65-foot open space lot which
includes a proposed recreational trail, 10 feet wider than the previously
approved 50-foot-wide open space lot.
To the north is vacant land; however, a tentative tract map (Tentative Tract
Map No. 31229) was approved by the City of Menifee on November 16, 2010.
This Tentative Tract Map proposes to subdivide 77.15 acres into 239 single-
family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 6,000 sq ft. Therefore, this
land to the north would be development with a similar use and intensity as
relative to the proposed project.
Resolution No. 12-128
Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 (Menifee Heights)
Page 4 of 5
To the east is agricultural land further to the east. The project site is
separated by Briggs Road and a 15' community trail. The proposed
residential lots are further set back from the public right-of-way by a heavy
landscaped slope. In addition, the applicant is required to submit a detailed
proposal for the notification of all purchasers of dwelling units of the existence
of dairies and/or other agricultural uses within the vicinity of the project site.
Thus, the project is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
5. Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit application
are in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act.
The environmental impacts associated with development of the project site
were addressed in the previously adopted Tentative Tract Map No. 32277
Environmental Assessment (EA#39499). The proposed Revised Tentative
Tract Map No. 2012-045 would not result in any new significant impacts and
would not increase the severity of the previously identified significant impacts.
Thus, the proposed Revised Map does not constitute "substantial changes"
that would require "major revisions" to the EA due to new or increased
impacts (refer to Section 15162 [a][1]). Additionally, the "circumstances
under which the project" would be undertaken are not substantially different
than described in the EA (refer to Section 15162[a][2]). Further, the proposed
Revised Map does not represent "new information of substantial importance"
that would result in new or greater impacts not discussed in the EA. For these
reasons, a subsequent EA to address this new information is not required.
Section 15164 of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines provides the authority for
preparing an addendum to a previously certified EIR or adopted negative
declaration. Specifically, Section 15164 states the following:
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an
addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or
additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have
occurred.
(b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be
prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are
necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162
calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative
declaration have occurred.
(c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be
included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative
declaration.
(d) The decision -making body shall consider the addendum with the
final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a
decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent
EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an
Resolution No. 12-128
Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 (Menifee Heights)
Page 5 of 5
addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or
elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by
substantial evidence.
Because the proposed Revised Map does not meet the conditions described
in Section 15162 of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines, the City determined
that an addendum to the previously adopted mitigated negative declaration is
the appropriate documentation to address the proposed Revised Map. The
environmental analysis presented in the addendum to the EA demonstrates
that the proposed Revised Map will not create new or greater significant
environmental impacts than those identified in the previously adopted
mitigated negative declaration.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves
and orders as follows:
1. The Findings set out above are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Addendum to
the Environmental Assessment No. 39499 for Revised Tentative Tract Map No.
2012-045.
3. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Revised
Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045, subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval.

in the attached conditions of Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 shall be
henceforth defined as follows:
TENTATIVE MAP = Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045, Amended
No. 3, dated September 18, 2012.
FINAL MAP = Final Map or Parcel Map for the TENTATIVE MAP whether
recorded in whole or in phases.

EXHIBIT L = Landscaping Plans for Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-
045, Amended No. 3, dated November 7, 2012.
2. Project Description of Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045. The land
division hereby permitted is for a revision to the County -approved Tentative
Tract Map No. 32277. The revised tentative tract map proposes a Schedule A
subdivision of 158.75 acres into 359 residential lots ranging in size from 6,000 to
18,165 sq. ft. The revised map proposes a reduction in the size of the lots along
the eastern and southern boundaries of the tract. The revised map proposes
the removal of a large basin previously proposed in the northern portion of the
site and to replace it with three smaller basins in the same general location
along Holland Road. Under this revised map, the street and lot layout will be
reconfigured for the lots in the northern and southeastern portion of the tract.
The park will be reduced in size from 10.22 to 9.97 acres due to more detailed
engineering design (the overall function of the park has not changed). A paseo
will also be removed due to the steep slope that was originally proposed. The
number of lots for open space, landscaping and drainage has increased to 17
lots. The revised tentative map includes a 15-foot multi -purpose trail along
Holland and Briggs Road and seventeen (17) open space lots for landscaping
open space and drainage: one (1) central park, four (4) lots for water quality
basins, eight (8) lots for perimeter and main entryway landscaping, two (2) lots
for drainage, one (1) lot for trails (along the southerly project boundary), one (1)
39.18-acre hillside open space lot in the southwesterly portion of the site.
The Revised Tract Map is divided into three sub -areas: Lot sizes by area are
as follows:
■ Area A (118 Lots) — 6,000 s.f. minimum to 17,325 s.f. maximum
■ Area B (120 Lots) — 6,500 s.f. minimum to 14,270 s.f. maximum
■ Area C (121 Lots) — 7,000 s.f. minimum to 18,165 s.f. maximum
3. Indemnification. The developer/applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend, and
hold harmless, the City and County and any agency or instrumentality thereof,
and/or any of its officers, employees and agents (collectively the "City and
County") from any and all claims, actions, demands, and liabilities arising or
alleged to arise as the result of the applicant's performance or failure to perform
under this Revised Tentative Tract Map or the City's and County's approval
thereof, or from any proceedings against or brought against the City or County,
or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or any of their officers, employees and
agents, to attack, set aside, void, annul, or seek monetary damages resulting
from an action by the City or County, or any agency or instrumentality thereof,
advisory agency, appeal board or legislative body including actions approved by
the voters of the City, concerning Addendum to the Environmental Assessment
No. 39499 and Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045.
4. 90 Days to Protest. The land divider has 90 days from the date of approval of
these conditions to protest, in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Government Code Section 66020, the imposition of any and all fees,
dedications, reservations and/or other exactions imposed on this project as a
result of the approval or conditional approval of this project.
5. Newly Incorporated City. The City of Menifee is a new City incorporated on
October 1, 2008; the City is studying and adopting its own ordinances,
regulations, procedures, processing and development impact fee structure. In
the future the City of Menifee will identify and put in place various processing
fees to cover the reasonable cost of the services provided. The City also will
identify and fund mitigation measure under CEQA through development impact
fees. The developer understands and agrees to pay such fees.
Such fees may include but are not limited to processing fees for the costs of
providing planning services when development entitlement applications are
submitted, which fees are designed to cover the full cost of such services, and
development impact fees to mitigate the impact of the development proposed
on public improvements. To the extent that Menifee may develop future
financing districts to cover the costs of maintenance of improvements
constructed by development, Developer agrees to petition for formation of,
annexation to or inclusion in any such financing district and to pay the cost of
such formation, annexation or inclusion.
6. Mitigation Monitoring Plan. The developer shall comply with the mitigation
monitoring plan (attached).
7. Expiration Date. The expiration date of Tentative Tract Map No. 32277 and
Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-045 is September 16, 2015 due to
automatic State extensions that have extended the life of the map. Note that
while action on a revised map annuls approval of the previous map, the action
on the revised map does not extend the time limits within which the final map
may be filed beyond the limits of the previous map. The applicant may apply for
five (5) one-year future discretionary time extensions according to the most -
recent California Subdivision Map Act and City Ordinance No. 460, which could
potentially extend the life of the map to September 16, 2020. Any future
extensions are not automatic — the property owner/applicant must apply for the
extension at least 30 days prior to the expiration date.

General Conditions
Comply with Geologic Report. The developer shall comply with the
recommendations of the Geologic Report. County Geologic Report (GEO) No.
2299 was prepared for this project (RTR 2012-045) by Alta California
Geotechnical Inc., and is entitled: "Geotechnical Investigation, Menifee Heights
Project, City of Menifee, California", dated February 22, 2012.
GEO No. 2299 concluded:
1. Active faults are not present onsite and no regional evidence provided by
USGS, CGS or the County of Riverside suggests that active faults exist
on the interior of the Perris block.
2. The probability of primary surface fault rupture or deformation at the site
is considered unlikely.
3. The Menifee Heights project has a very low potential for liquefaction.
4. The potential for dry sand settlement to occur onsite is considered low.
5. Seismically induced landsliding is not anticipated to pose a danger to the
site.
6. Fill slopes designed at a slope of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) up to 15 feet
high and cut slopes designed at a slope ratio of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical)
up to 40 feet high are expected to be grossly stable as designed.
7. The Menifee Heights project is likely vulnerable to inundation from a
seiche originating from the Diamond Valley Reservoir. The Menifee
Heights project is unlikely to be inundated from a seiche originating from
Lake Skinner.
8. The Menifee Heights project is not located within the State of California
Tsunami Inundation Zone due to the considerable distance from the
coastline.
9. Blasting will be required to achieve design grades and the recommended
undercuts.
10. Significant amounts of over -sized rock (>8-inches) will be generated in
the bedrock cuts and in over -excavations in pads and streets within the
bedrocks.
GEO No. 2299 recommended:
1. During grading, areas should be observed in order to verify post -graded
stable conditions (slopes).
2. Over -sized rock and crushed concrete may be incorporated into the
compacted fill section base on the recommendation presented in Section
6.1.7 of the Alta report.
3. Artificial fills, Holocene alluvium, any topsoil or colluviums, should be
completely removed and re -compacted to project specifications.
4. The upper portions of the old alluvial valley deposits and the very highly
weathered portions of the bedrock should be removed and re -compacted
to project specifications.
GEO No. 2299 satisfies the requirement for a liquefaction study for
planning/CEQA purposes. GEO No. 2299 is hereby accepted for Planning
purposes. Engineering and other Uniform Building Code parameters were not
included as a part of this review or approval. This approval is not intended and
should not be misconstrued as approval for grading permits.
Engineering and other building code parameters will be reviewed and
additional comments and/or conditions may be imposed by the Building and
Safety Department upon application for grading and/or building permits.
9. Map Act Compliance. This land division shall comply with the State of
California Subdivision Map Act and to all requirements of Ordinance No. 460,
Schedule A, unless modified by the conditions listed herein.
10. No Offsite Subdivision Signage. No offsite subdivision signs advertising this
land division/development are permitted, other than those allowed under
Ordinance No. 679.4. Violation of this condition of approval may result in no
further permits of any type being issued for this subdivision until the unpermitted
signage is removed.
11. Design Standards.
The design standards for the subdivision are as follows:
a. Lots created by this map shall conform to the design standards of the
Planned Residential (R-4) zone.

Ord. No. 461, Standard No. 207.
When occasions occur in which the project design guidelines (i.e., approved
"Exhibit D") conflict with established Ordinance No. 348 or ordinances the
stricter rule/law/guideline shall apply.
12. Minor Plot Plans Required. For each of the below listed items, a minor plot
plan application shall be submitted and approved by the Planning Department
pursuant to Section 18.30.a. (1) of County Ordinance No. 348 (Plot Plans not

ARCHEOLOGY/PALEONTOLOGY
20. Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety
Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the
Riverside County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin.
Further, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be
left in place and free from disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment
and disposition has been made. If the Riverside County Coroner determines the
remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission shall
be contacted within a 24 hours. Subsequently, the Native American Heritage
Commission shall identify the "most likely descendant" within 48 hours. The
most likely descendant shall then make recommendations and engage in
consultation concerning the treatment of the remains as provided in Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98.
21.Inadvertent Archeological Find. If during ground disturbance activities,
unique cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the
archaeological report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to
project approval, the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural
resources are defined, for this condition, as being multiple artifacts in close
association with each other, but may include fewer artifacts if the area of the find
is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural importance.
1) All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural
resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the
developer, the archaeologist, the Native American tribal representative and
the Community Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
2) At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the Native American tribal representative and the
archaeologist, a decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the
Community Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation
(documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
3) Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of
the discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the
appropriate mitigation.
22.Inadvertent Paleontological Find. Should fossil remains be encountered
during site development:
1) All site earthmoving shall be ceased in the area of where the fossil
remains are encountered. Earthmoving activities may be diverted to
other areas of the site.
2) The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the
County of Riverside.
3) The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered
fossil remains.
4) Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will continue
thereafter on an as -needed basis by the paleontologist during all
earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving
activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed strata
will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The
supervising paleontologist will have the authority to reduce monitoring
once he/she determines the probability of encountering any additional
fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
5) If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the
paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the
fossil site and the paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover
the remains.
6) Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification
and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable
paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled
with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding
fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if
necessary, vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an
associated specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic
site data will be archived (specimen and site numbers and corresponding
data entered into appropriate museum repository catalogs and
computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory
technician. The remains will then be accessioned into the museum*
repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently stored,
maintained, and, along with associated specimen and site data, made
available for future study by qualified scientific investigators.
*The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the
fossil material prior to being curated.

b. Grading plans, construction specifications and bid documents shall
include notation that all rubber -tired dozers and scrapers shall be CARB
Tier 3 Certified or better.
c. The Construction Plan shall note that any blasting, drilling and rock
crushing shall not occur within 800 feet of any occupied residences or
the Southshore Elementary School unless temporary noise barriers
(berms, wall, etc.) are erected to mitigate noise from these activities to
an exterior noise level of 65 dBA at the nearest residential lot line.
d. The Construction Plan shall identify a process to notify all residences
within 800 feet and the Southshore Elementary School of any potential
blast location. The notification shall identify the potential blasting
schedule and shall provide specific notice within a minimum of 72 hours
prior to a blasting event.
e. The Construction Plan shall identify a location for the rock crushing
activities. Every effort should be made to locate this operation internal
to the site so as to not impact adjacent residential properties.
This project involves the construction of off -site drainage facilities
northward 1,260 feet along Southshore Drive. The off -site storm drain
will connect into a multiple reinforced concrete box culvert to be
constructed across Southshore Drive approximately 1,260 feet north of
Holland Road. The box culvert crossing Southshore Drive is part of the
Holland Channel System and is located between Tract No. 31229 and
Tract No. 30422. The Construction Plan shall specify the timing of
construction of this facility and every effort should be made to
coordinate the construction to periods when the Southshore Elementaty
School is not in session.
This development will construct the Holland Channel System
(approximately 100 linear feet), unless it has already been constructed
by the developers of Tract No. 31229 (located immediately to the north
of the project site) and Tract No. 30422 (located approximately 750 feet
to northwest of the project site). The Construction Plans shall include
traffic control measures and detour routes, as appropriate.
54. Dust Minimization Mitigation. The following measures shall be incorporated
into project plans and specifications and implemented during grading, as
implementation of Rule 403:

disturbed areas within the project are watered at least three times daily
during dry weather. Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed
areas, shall occur at least three times a day, preferably in the mid-
morning, afternoon, and after work is done for the day. As shown in
Table XI -A, located in Appendix "B" of the Air Quality Impact Analysis ,
22
prepared by Urban Crossroads, dated July 17, 2012, revised October 2,
2012 and revised September 19, 2012, implementation of this measure
is estimated to reduce PM,o and PM2.5 fugitive dust emissions by
approximately 61 %.
b. The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads
and project site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less to
reduce PM,o and PM2.5 fugitive dust haul road emissions by
approximately 44%.
c.Dust emissions form blasting and rock crushing shall be controlled by
the use of wet -suppression techniques including but not limited to:
misting systems along the conveyor feed for the rock crusher, wetting of
stockpiles and cassation of crusher activities when wind speeds are in
excess of 25 miles per hour.
55. Trails Plans. Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the applicant shall
submit grading plans and construction specifications to the City of Menifee
Planning Department and Engineering Department for review and approval.
These grading plans shall show the location of all trails consistent with the
approved trails plan which was required prior to map recordation.

60. Paleontologist Required. This site is mapped in the County's General Plan as
having a high potential for paleontological resources (fossils). Therefore, PRIOR
TO ISSUANCE OF GRADING PERMITS:
The permitee shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the City of
Menifee to create and implement a project -specific plan for monitoring site
grading/earthmoving activities (project paleontologist).
The project paleontologist retained shall review the approved development plan
and shall conduct any pre -construction work necessary to render appropriate
monitoring and mitigation requirements as appropriate. These requirements
shall be documented by the project paleontologist in a Paleontological
Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). This PRIMP shall be submitted
to the Planning Department for review and approval prior to issuance of a
Grading Permit.
Information to be contained in the PRIMP, at a minimum and in addition to
other industry standard and Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards, are
as follows
A. The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre -construction project
meeting with development staff and construction operations to ensure an
understanding of any mitigation measures required during construction,
as applicable.
B. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted
on an as -needed basis by the project paleontologist during all
earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving
activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed strata
will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The
project paleontologist or his/her assign will have the authority to reduce
monitoring once he/she determines the probability of encountering fossils
has dropped below an acceptable level.
C. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities
will be diverted temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have
been evaluated and recovered. Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed
through the site when the project paleontologist determines the fossils
have been recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
D. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the
project paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around
the fossil site and the project paleontologist called to the site immediately
to recover the remains.
E. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered
from the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller
fossil remains. Test samples may be recovered from other sampling sites
in the rock unit if appropriate.
25
F. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of
identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by
knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then will be curated
(assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers
and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in
specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with completed specimen data
cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data and corresponding
geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen and site
numbers and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum
repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum
repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be
accessioned into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will
be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen
and site data, made available for future study by qualified scientific
investigators.
* The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to
receive the fossil material prior to being curated.
G. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made
during all site grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil
specimens recovered during grading (if any). This report shall be
submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval prior to
building final inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions.
All reports shall be signed by the project paleontologist and all other
professionals responsible for the report's content (e.g., Professional Geologist,

General Conditions
161. General. Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 32277, Planning Application
2012-045, is a proposal to subdivide approximately 159 acres into 359
residential lots. The site is located on the southwest corner of Holland Road
and Briggs Road. TR 32277 addresses water quality for developed land only. A
preliminary WQMP for developed land has been submitted for review and
approval. A SWPPP is required to address water quality for the mass grading
operations for the proposed lots/parcels. Desilting basins and debris inlets shall
be detailed in the SWPPP report to prevent the transport of sediment.
162. Flood Hazard Report. This is a proposal to subdivide 158.75 acres into
residential lots in the Menifee area. The site is located at the southwest corner
of Briggs Road and Holland Road.
The site lies at the base of steep hills. The site receives little tributary offsite
storm flows. The majority of the site naturally drains in a northeasterly direction
towards the intersection of Briggs Road and Holland Road. This area has little
or no drainage infrastructure.
The applicant proposes to drain the majority of the site via a proposed storm
drain that would run west in Holland Road and then north in Southshore Drive
approximately 1,230 feet to a box culvert constructed by Tract 30422-2.
Emergency escape for the sump in "Lot U" would be provided in the parksite.
An inlet in the park would allow for the area to drain. A minor area in "Lot DD"
would drain across Holland Road and discharge within the existing road right of
way.
The applicant has proposed water quality bioswales along Briggs Road and
Holland Road to mitigate the site's (and street runoff's) impacts to water quality.
This basin would outlet to the proposed storm drain mentioned previously.
The following criteria shall be applied to lots that backup to the hills: The criteria
for maintenance access of terrace/interceptor is as follows: flows between 1-5
cfs shall have a 5-foot wide access road, flows between 6-10 cfs shall be a
minimum 6-foot rectangular channel. Terrace/interceptor drains are
unacceptable for flows greater than 10 cfs. Flows greater than 10 cfs shall be
brought to the street. Storm drain inlets for areas draining directly off the
hillside shall be bulked for debris flows.
The developer proposes to shave off the top of the hill. Care should be taken
as not to divert storm flows from their existing drainage patterns.
163. 10-Year Curb — 100 Year ROW. The 10 year storm flow shall be
contained within the curb and the 100 year storm flow shall be contained within
the street right of way. When either of these criteria is exceeded, additional
drainage facilities shall be installed. The property shall be graded to drain to the
adjacent street or an adequate outlet.
54
164. 100 Year Sump Outlet. Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions
shall be designed to convey the tributary 100 year storm flows. Additional
emergency escape shall also be provided.
165. Perp Drainage Patterns. The property's street and lot grading shall be
designed in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns
with respect to tributary drainage areas, outlet points and outlet conditions.
Otherwise, a drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected property
owners for the release of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the
recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to the District for review.
166. Major Facilities. Major flood control facilities are being proposed. These
shall be designed and constructed to District standards including those related
to alignment and access to both inlets and outlets. The applicant shall consult
the District early in the design process regarding materials, hydraulic design,
and transfer of rights of way.
167. Interceptor Drain Criteria. The criteria for maintenance access of
terrace/interceptor is as follows: flows between 1-5 cfs shall have a 5-foot wide
access road, flows between 6-10 cfs shall be a minimum 6-foot rectangular
channel. Terrace/interceptor drains are unacceptable for flows greater than 10
cfs. Flows greater than 10 cfs shall be brought to the street..
168. WQMP. In compliance with Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board Order, projects submitted within the western region of Riverside County
for discretionary approval will be required to comply with the Water Quality
Management Plan for Urban Runoff (WQMP). The Final WQMP shall conform to
the latest requirements set forth by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board, order R8-2010-0033. The WQMP addresses post -development
water quality impacts from new development and redevelopment projects. The
WQMP provides detailed guidelines and templates to assist the developer in
completing the necessary studies. These documents are available on-line at:
www.floodcontrol.co.riverside.ca.us under Programs and Services, Stormwater
Quality.
To comply with the WQMP a developer must submit a "Project Specific"
WQMP. This report is intended to:
a. Identify potential post -project pollutants and hydrologic impacts
associated with the development;
b. Identify proposed mitigation measures (BMPs) for identified
impacts including site design, source control and treatment control
post -development BMPs; and
c. Identify sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the
aforementioned BMPs. A template for this report is included as
'exhibit A' in the WQMP. A final Project Specific WQMP must be
approved by the City prior to issuance of building or grading
permits.
The developer has submitted a preliminary project specific WQMP.
Infiltration methods must be utilized where feasible. An infiltration test,
55
including location of test pits, shall be included in the Final WQMP. If the
infiltration test returns favorable results, infiltration BMPs shall be required.
The developer has proposed to incorporate infiltration devises where
feasible including using dry wells in catch basins. Additional infiltration
devises may be required pending the results of actual infiltration testing.
Easements shall be provided for all BMPs.
If undeveloped area flows are comingled with developed area flow, then the
entire comingled flow area shall be treated.
Also, it should be noted that if regulatory certifications are required such as
401 certification, 404 certification, 1602 certification, etc., the Water Quality
Control Board may require additional water quality measures.
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT - The project shall incorporate structural
LID practices for the site in consideration of the site's land use, hydrology,
soil type, climate and rainfall patterns. . Frequently used LID practices
include:
a. On -site infiltration
b. Bioretention cells, also known as rain gardens
c. Green roofs
d. Cisterns and rain barrels
e. Pervious concrete, also called "porous pavement", similar to
Permeable paving
f. Grassed swales, also known as bioswales.
Trash Enclosures — Trash enclosures shall meet new storm water quality
standards. They shall be designed to have a solid impermeable roof and
concrete slab floor. The roof shall have a minimum clearance height of at
least 9 feet to allow the bin lid to completely open. The concrete slab shall
be graded to contain any spill within the enclosure. The enclosure area
shall be protected from receiving direct rainfall or run-on from collateral
surfaces. Rain water or wastewater runoff from trash enclosure is
prohibited. An alternate drain from the interior of the enclosure that
discharges to the sanitary sewer may be constructed if approved by
EMWD.
169. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). A Storm Water
Pollution Prevent Plan will be required for the project. This project will disturb
one (1) or more acres or is part of a larger project that will disturb one (1) or
more acres. Prior to issuance of any grading or construction permits - whichever
comes first, the applicant is required to comply with the State Water Resources
Control Board Order Number 2009-0009-DWQ (NPDES No. CAS000002) for
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Construction General.
Clearance for grading shall not be given until the City Engineering Department
has determined that the project applicant has complied with such Order. A
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be submitted to the City
Engineering Department for review prior to being certified by the legal
responsible person in the SMARTS system. It should include a copy of the
WDID letter from the Board.

unincorporated area of Riverside County for discretionary approval will be
required to comply with the Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff
(WQMP). The WQMP addresses post -development water quality impacts from
new development and redevelopment projects. The WQMP requirements will
vary depending on the project's geographic location (Santa Ana, Santa
Margarita or Whitewater River watersheds). The WQMP provides detailed
guidelines and templates to assist the developer in completing the necessary
studies. These documents are available on-line at:
www.floodcontrol.co.riverside.ca.us under Programs and Services, Stormwater
Quality.
To comply with the WQMP a developer must submit a "Project Specific"
WQMP. This report is intended to a) identify potential post -project pollutants
and hydrologic impacts associated with the development; b) identify proposed
mitigation measures (BMPs) for identified impacts including site design, source
control and treatment control post -development BMPs; and c) identify
sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the aforementioned
BMPs. A template for this report is included as 'exhibit A' in the WQMP. final
Project Specific WQMP must be approved by the District prior to issuance of
building or grading permits.
Projects requiring Project Specific WQMPs are required to submit a
PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP along with the land -use application
package. The format of the PRELIMINARY report shall mimic the
format/template of the final report but can be less detailed. For example, points
a, b & c above must be covered, rough calculations supporting sizing must be
included, and footprint/locations for the BMPs must be identified on the
tentative exhibit. Detailed drawings will not be required. This preliminary project
specific WQMP must be approved by the District prior to issuance of
recommended conditions of approval.
The developer has submitted a report that minimally meets the criteria for a
preliminary project specific WQMP. The report will need significant revisions to
meet the requirements of a final project specific WQMP. Also, it should be
noted that if 401 certification is necessary for the project, the Water Quality
Control Board may require additional water quality measures.
171. WQMP Establish Maintenance Entity. This project proposes BMP
facilities that will require maintenance by a public agency or homeowner's

or abandon under permit with the Department of Environmental Health all
existing onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) and water wells. A
grading plan showing the location of all existing OWTS and wells to be removed
or abandoned shall be submitted to DEH for review and approval. DEH fees
shall apply.
210. Preliminary Endangerment Assessment. Prior to the issuance of a
grading permit, a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) shall be
conducted using newly acquired data as well as existing data. The PEA shall be
conducted in accordance with the "Preliminary Endangerment Assessment
Guideance Manual' (DTSC, June 1999), "Advisory on Methane Assessment and
Common Remedies at School Sites (DTSC, 2005), and the "Interim Guidance
for Sampling Agricultural Properties" (DTSC, 2008). These DTSC documents
specify the frequency, locations, and analytical methods necessary to
adequately evaluate areas of concern.
Prior to conducting further sampling, a work plan shall be submitted and
accepted by the Department of Environmental Health. The PEA and, if
necessary, remediation shall be completed prior to grading.
The PEA shall identify and evaluate potential chemicals of cocner and possible
locations of these chemicals based on previous site use and locations of the
associated operations. Some of the areas requiring additional assessment
shall include, but may not be limited to: all storage tank areas, chemical
storage, mixing, and application areas (including animal dipping vats),
M
equipment maintenance areas, the historic homestead area, all animal,
processing, and storage barns/buildings, burn and/or waste disposal areas,
dairy waste ponds, leach fields, areas where pesticides or other chemicals
were applied, expanded methane testing, etc.

Prior to Issuance of Grading Permit
211. Burrowing Owl Preconstruction Survey. Pursuant to Objective 6 and
Objective 7 of the Species Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the
Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30
days prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a pre -construction
presence/absence survey for the burrowing owl shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist and the results of this presence/absence survey shall be
provided in writing to the Environmental Programs Department. If it is
determined that the project site is occupied by the Burrowing Owl, take of
"active" nests shall be avoided pursuant to the MSHCP and the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act. However, when the Burrowing Owl is present, relocation outside of
the nesting season (March 1 through August 31) by a qualified biologist shall be
required. The County Biologist shall be consulted to determine appropriate type
of relocation (active or passive) and translocation sites. Occupation of this
species on the project site may result in the need to revise grading plans so that
take of "active" nests is avoided or alternatively, a grading permit may be issued
once the species has been actively relocated.
If the grading permit is not obtained within 30 days of the survey a new survey
shall be required.
No ground disturbance, including disking, blading, grubbing or any similar
activity shall occur within the site until the burrowing owl study is reviewed and
approved.
212. Nesting Bird Survey. If grading is to occur for Revised Tentative Tract
Map No. 2012-045 during the nesting season (February 1 — August 31), a
nesting bird survey shall be conducted within 30 days prior to grading permit
issuance. This survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist holding an
MOU with Riverside County. The findings shall be submitted to EPD for review
and approval.
