EXHIBIT A.
31. No Idling. To reduce diesel truck emissions, the project has been conditioned to
install signs in loading areas stating “The driver of a diesel-fueled motor vehicle
with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds is
prohibited from idling the vehicle's primary engine for more than five (5) minutes
at any location and may not operate a diesel fueled auxiliary power system (APS)
for more than five (5) minutes at any location within 100 feet of a restricted area
(residences). Electrical connections have been provided for your use. The
minimum penalty for an idling violation is $300.00. To report a violation please
contact 1800-END-SMOG".
ARCHEOLOGY
32. 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
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.
33. 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
Page 11 of 54
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.”

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
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
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
Page 17 of 54
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT
45. 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.
Page 18 of 54
