ARCHEOLOGY
22. 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 the period specified by law (24 hours). Subsequently, the
Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the "most likely
descendant." 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. Human remains from other
Page 10 of 62
ethnic/cultural groups with recognized historical associations to the project area
shall also be subject to consultation between appropriate representatives from
that group and the Community Development Director.
23. 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 only, 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 as
determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
i. 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 tribal representative(s) and the Community
Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
ii. At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the tribal representative(s) 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.
iii. 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.
iv. Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be
consistent with the Cultural Resources Treatment and Monitoring
Agreements entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include
avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in-place
preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial on
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in
perpetuity.
v. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred
method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources.
If the landowner and the Tribe(s) cannot agree on the significance or the
mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources, these issues will be
presented to the City Community Development Director for decision. The City
Community Development Director shall make the determination based on the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to
archaeological resources, recommendations of the project archeologist and
shall take into account the cultural and religious principles and practices of
the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other rights available under the law, the
decision of the City Community Development Director shall be appealable to
the City Planning Commission and/or City Council.”
24. Inadvertent Paleontological Find. Should fossil remains be encountered
during site development:
i. 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.
Page 11 of 62
ii. The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the County
of Riverside.
iii. The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered fossil
remains.
iv. 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.
v. 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.
vi. 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.
LANDSCAPING

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
Community Development 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
Page 17 of 62
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.
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 Community
Development 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 (eg. Professional Geologist,
Professional Engineer, etc.), as appropriate. Two wet-signed original copies of
the report shall be submitted directly to the Community Development Department
along with a copy of this condition, deposit based fee and the grading plan for
appropriate case processing and tracking.

40. Burrowing Owl Preconstruction Survey. Pursuant to Objective 6 and
Objective 7 of the Species Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the
Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), 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 City of Menifee Community Development 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 15) by a qualified biologist shall be required.
The City 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.
If the site is not precise graded within one (1) month of the rough and/or mass
grading of the site, or if construction and/or disturbance of the site is suspended
for a period of one (1) month or more, a new survey shall be required.
41. Nesting Bird Survey. If grading is to occur during the nesting season (February
15 – August 31), a nesting bird survey shall be conducted within three (3) 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.

DRAINAGE
General Conditions
129. Drainage Guideline 1. The land divider shall protect downstream properties
from damages caused by alteration of the drainage patterns, i.e., concentration
or diversion of flow. Protection shall be provided by constructing adequate
drainage facilities including enlarging existing facilities and/or by securing a
drainage easement. All drainage easements shall be recorded as separate
documents if no final map will be processed by this development. The easement
shall include a statement indicating that no building, obstructions, or
encroachments by landfills are allowed in dedicated drainage easement.
130. Drainage Guideline 2. The land divider shall accept and properly dispose of all
off-site drainage flowing onto or through the site. In the event the PW
Engineering Department permits the use of streets for drainage purposes, the
provisions of Article XI of the City adopted Ordinance No. 460 will apply. Should
Page 37 of 62
the quantities exceed the street capacity or the use of streets be prohibited for
drainage purposes, the sub-divider shall provide adequate drainage facilities
and/or appropriate easements as approved by the PW Engineering Department.
131. Preliminary Drainage Studies Submitted. The developer/property owner
submitted two separate drainage studies addressing the pre and post
development drainage conditions for this development and the single family
residential subdivision south of Holland Road. The studies dated March 22, 2107
for both this project (PP2015-164) and the residential subdivision to the south
(TR36852), were prepared by Rick Engineering and have been concurred with by
the City and Flood Control on April 5, 2017. The developer owns both projects
and are processing concurrent entitlements for both. Both the City and the
Riverside County Flood Control District have reviewed the reports and generally
concurred with the methodology and findings of the reports. However, in final
engineering and prior to approval of all proposed storm drain facilities, the
developer/property owner shall submit final drainage reports for review and
approval by the City and the District.
132. Flood Hazard Report (Riverside County Flood Control District Review). This
development (Plot Plan 2015-164) includes a multi-family residential complex
with a senior independent living center located at the northwest corner of Holland
Road and Palomar Road. A residential tract development (Tract 36582) located
south of this development on Holland Road is also being proposed by this
property owner for development into single family residential subdivision. The
materials reviewed by the Riverside County Flood Control District included
tentative site-plan exhibits and the drainage reports for both developments north
and south of Holland Road. The developed area to the east drains to two District
facilities, Menifee Valley - Palomar Road Storm Drain (Project No. 4-0-00167;
Drawing No. 4-0807) and Menifee Lakes - Holland Road Storm Drain (Project
No. 4-0-00149; Drawing No. 4-0777). While the majority of this project does not
drain to the Palomar Road Storm Drain, some diversions and modifications to the
Palomar Road Storm Drain outlet channel are being proposed.
Most of the site drains northerly to an existing earthen channel, known as
"Menifee Channel", which may have been constructed when the adjacent school
site was developed. The Menifee Channel drains northerly to the Menifee Lakes
housing development. While the lakes are designed to accept the tributary
watershed, little is known regarding the capacity of the Menifee Channel or who
is responsible for its maintenance. Therefore, it is recommended that Tract
36852 mitigate for its incremental increased runoff due to development (100-
year, 6-hour storm).
The residential development Tract 36852 to the south includes an increased
runoff basin within the north western corner of the residential project and the
apartment complex-senior citizen community includes a channel along the
westerly and northerly boundaries that will be used to convey offsite flows and
mitigate for increased runoff. It is the District's understanding that each project
will separately mitigate its increased runoff contribution.
The project is not located within a District adopted drainage fee area (Area
Drainage Plan).
Page 38 of 62
133. Coordinate Drainage Design. Development of this property shall be
coordinated with the development of adjacent properties to ensure that
watercourses remain unobstructed and stormwaters are not diverted from one
watershed to another. This may require the construction of temporary drainage
facilities or offsite construction and grading. 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 City for review and approval.
134. Temporary Easement for City Holland Bridge Project. The City of Menifee is
constructing a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) called the Holland Road
Overcrossing project, located west of this development. The flows from this CIP
project area drains to this development in pre-development condition. In post
development condition, offsite flows will still drain to the project through a
proposed earthen channel located along the western and northern boundaries of
the project. The offsite flows will then exit the development at the northeast
corner and into the “Menifee Channel”. In the event the CIP Holland project starts
construction ahead of this development, the City’s CIP project will construct a
retention basin on the project site designed to drain so as not to create a man-
made biological condition. The City will be responsible for the basin
maintenance. In return, the developer/applicant shall grant a temporary
easement to the City for basin construction and maintenance until such time that
this project develops and the basin is no longer necessary.
135. Timing for Construction of the Onsite Earthen Channel. In addition to offsite
flows draining to the proposed earthen channel, the channel is also designed to
accept and convey treated flows from the tract development south of Holland
(TR36852). As previously mentioned elsewhere in these conditions of approval,
TR36852 is also owned and being processed concurrently by the
developer/property owner. TR36852 is designed to drain treated flows from its
developed site to the earthen channel. Therefore in the event TR36852 develops
ahead of PP2015-164, the earthen channel must already be constructed and
made operational by the developer/property owner.
136. 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.
137. 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. All lots shall be graded to drain to the adjacent street
or an adequate outlet
138. Perpetual Drainage Pattern. 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
Page 39 of 62
recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to the City for review and
approval.
139. Emergency Escape. An emergency escape path shall be provided for the
stormwater runoff at all inlets for the proposed underground facilities in the
event that the inlets become blocked with debris. To prevent flood damage to
the proposed structures, all proposed structures in the vicinity of the inlets and
along the emergency escape path shall be protected from flooding by either
properly elevating the finished floor in relation to the inlets and flow path or by
making sure the structures are set back from the inlets to provide adequate flow
through area in the event the emergency escape of the stormwater runoff is
necessary.
140. Increased Runoff Criteria. The development of this site would increase peak
flow rates on downstream properties. Mitigation shall be required to offset such
impacts. An increased runoff basin should be shown on the exhibit and
calculations supporting the size of the basin shall be submitted to the District and
the City for review. The entire area of proposed development will be routed
through a detention facility(s) to mitigate increased runoff. All basins must have
positive drainage; dead storage basins shall not be acceptable.
A complete drainage study including, but not limited to, hydrologic and hydraulic
calculations for the proposed detention basin shall be submitted to the City for
review and approval. For design purposes, the proposed detention basin shall be
sized using the 6-hour/100-year frequency storm event. Detention basin(s) and
outlet(s) sizing will ensure that this storm event does not produce higher peak
discharge in the "after" condition than in the "before" condition. For the 100-year
event, an AMC II shall be used together with a constant loss rate.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following:
1. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
2. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 - (.8x%IMPERVIOUS)
3. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS = 10%
Where possible and feasible the onsite flows should be mitigated before
combining with offsite flows to minimize the size of the detention facility
required. If it is necessary to combine offsite and onsite flows into a detention
facility two separate conditions should be evaluated for each duration/return
period/before-after development combination studied; the first for the total
tributary area (offsite plus onsite), and the second for the area to be developed
alone (onsite). It must be clearly demonstrated that there is no increase in
peak flow rates under either condition (total tributary area or onsite alone), for
each of the return period/duration combinations required to be evaluated. A
single plot showing the pre-developed, post-developed and routed
hydrographs for each storm considered, shall be included with the submittal of
the hydrology study.
No outlet pipe(s) will be less than 18" in diameter. Where necessary an orifice
plate may be used to restrict outflow rates. Appropriate trash racks shall be
provided for all outlets less than 48" in diameter.
Page 40 of 62
The basin(s) and outlet structure(s) must be capable of passing the 100-year
storm without damage to the facility. Mitigation basins should be designed for
joint use and be incorporated into open space or park areas. Side slopes should
be no steeper than 4: 1 and depths should be minimized where public access is
uncontrolled.
Mitigation basins should be designed for joint use and maybe incorporated into
open space or park areas. Side slopes should be not steeper than 4: I and
depths should be minimized where public access is uncontrolled.
A viable maintenance mechanism, acceptable to the City should be provided for
any flood control facilities to be owned and maintained by the City. Any facilities
proposed to be owned by the District, should be provided with a viable
maintenance mechanism acceptable to the City and the District. For the City this
would be the citywide CFD 2015-2. Facilities to remain private shall be
maintained by commercial property owners association or homeowners
associations.
141. Onsite Easement over Earthen Channel. Onsite drainage facilities located
outside of road right of way shall be contained within drainage easements shown
on the final site plan. A note shall be added stating, "Drainage easements shall
be kept free of buildings and obstructions".
142. Written Permission for Grading. Written permission shall be obtained from the
affected property owners allowing the proposed grading and/or facilities to be
installed outside of the tract boundaries. A copy of the written authorization shall
be submitted to the PW Engineering Department for review and approval.
Prior to Building Permit Issuance
143. Removal of Culvert on Hanover Lane. The western portion of Holland Road
will drain west and then north along Hanover Lane and into a proposed catch
basin. This catch basin will also pick-up the flows draining south along Hanover
Lane. The existing culvert on the southern site will be removed and flows will be
directed to the catch basin. The culvert removal and catch basin construction on
Hanover will be constructed with either the multifamily/senior living or the tract to
the south (TR36852) whichever develops first.
144. 60” Storm Drain Improvement on Palomar Road. The 60” storm drain facility
along Palomar shall be improved to Flood Control Districts’ specifications and
standards, Connection to the District’s facility to the north shall be designed and
approved by Flood Control. Appropriate drainage and maintenance easement
shall be provided and recorded prior to SD plan approval.
145. Offsite Easement or Redesign. Offsite drainage facilities shall be located
within dedicated drainage easements obtained from the affected property
owner(s). Document(s) shall be recorded and a copy submitted to the City. If the
developer cannot obtain such rights, the map shall be redesigned to eliminate the
need for the easement.
Page 41 of 62
146. Drainage Facility for Ownership and Maintenance by Flood Control District.
Proposed drainage facilities requested for ownership and maintenance by Flood
Control District shall be designed per applicable District standards and
guidelines, including conditions of approval required for said drainage facilities.
Prior to recordation of the final map or building permit whichever is applicable,
the developer/property owner shall enter into a three party cooperative
agreement with the City and Flood Control. Both the Riverside County Board of
Supervisors and the City of Menifee City Council shall approve the agreement.
147. Three (3) Items to Accept Storm Drain Facility. Construction inspection of the
flood control facilities or storm drain system to be built with this development
must be performed by either or both the City’s Public Works Engineering
Department and the Flood Control District. For storm drain facilities proposed to
be publicly owned and maintained, the developer (property owner) must request
in writing that one of these agencies accept the proposed storm drain system.
The request shall note the project number, location, briefly describe the system
(sizes and lengths) and include an exhibit that shows the proposed alignment.
The request to the District shall be addressed to the General Manager-Chief
Engineer, Attn: Chief of the Planning Division.
If the Flood Control District is willing to maintain the requested facilities, three
items must be accomplished prior to recordation of the final map or starting
construction of the drainage facilities: 1) the developer shall submit to the District
the preliminary title reports, plats and legal descriptions for all right of way to be
conveyed to the District and secure that right of way to the satisfaction of the
District; 2) an agreement with the District and any maintenance partners must be
executed which establishes the terms and conditions of inspection, operation and
maintenance; and 3) plans for the facility must be signed by the District's General
Manager-Chief Engineer. The plans cannot be signed prior to execution of the
agreement. An application to draw up an agreement must be submitted to the
attention of the District's Administrative Services Section. All right of way transfer
issues must be coordinated with the District's Right of Way Section.
The engineer/developer will need to submit proof of flood control facility bonds
and a certificate of insurance to the District's Inspection Section before a pre-
construction meeting can be scheduled.
Prior to Grading Permit Issuance
148. Riverside County Flood Control Encroachment Permit Required. An
Encroachment Permit Is required for any work within District right of way or any
connection to District facilities. The Encroachment Permit application shall be
processed and approved concurrently with the improvement plans.
.
149. Riverside County Flood Control Submittal of Plans. A copy of the project
specific WQMP, improvement plans, grading plans, BMP improvement plans and
any other necessary documentation along with supporting hydrologic and
hydraulic calculations (drainage report) shall be submitted to the District as
reference material for the review and approval of the final drainage report and
storm drain plans that propose construction of storm drain facilities that will be
owned and maintained by the District.
Page 42 of 62
150. Riverside County Flood Control Facility Completion. The City will not
release occupancy permits prior to the City’s determination that construction of
the proposed drainage system is substantially complete.
151. Drainage Easement over Proposed Earthen Channel for Offsite Flows. A
proposed earthen channel will be constructed along the northern and western
boundaries of the site, and then will outlet into the Menifee Channel to the north.
This earthen channel will also receive offsite flows that are naturally draining into
the site prior to development. These include flows from Hanover Lane and
Holland Road. Prior to grading permit issuance the developer/property owner
shall dedicate and record a drainage easement to accept these offsite flows. The
easement shall be granted through a separate instrument if the project is not
processing a final map.
NPDES, SWPPP and WQMP
General Conditions
152. Stormwater/Urban Runoff Management Program, MMC Chapter 15.01. All
City of Menifee requirements for NPDES and Water Quality Management Plans
(WQMP) shall be met per City of Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 15.01 for
Stormwater/Urban Runoff Management Program unless otherwise approved by
the Public Works Director/City Engineer. This project is required to submit a

Management Plan requirement for Urban Runoff (WQMP). The WQMP
addresses post-development water quality impacts from new development and
redevelopment projects. This project is within the Santa Ana River (SAR)
watershed, therefore the WQMP requirements for the SAR will apply. The
Regional Board approved WQMP guidelines and templates to assist the
developer in preparing the necessary WQMP are available on-line at
http://rcflood.org/npdes/ under Watershed Protection web page. To comply with
the requirement for a WQMP, the developer must submit a "Project Specific"
WQMP in compliance with the latest WQMP guidelines approved by the Regional
Board. 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. To comply with this requirement the developer has submitted a
PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP that has been reviewed and determined
by the PW Engineering Department as meeting the minimum requirements for a
preliminary WQMP.
