WHEREAS, on February 7, 2024, the item was continued to the February 21,
2024 City Council meeting; and
WHEREAS, Conditions of Approval have been prepared and attached hereto as
"Exhibit A" of the Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Menifee resolves as follows:
Section 1: The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the
subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, any
applicable specific plan, and the Menifee Municipal Code (MMC).
The General Plan land use designation of the site is SP 301; however, the
proposed subdivision is being concurrently processed with a SPA to
remove the Project site from the SP 301 and Specific Plan application to
include the Project site within a new Specific Plan (MVSP). In addition, the
Project is being processed concurrently with a GPA to change the General
Plan land use map to include the MVSP land use designation and remove
the portion of SP 301 proposed to be removed under SPA No. PLN 21-
0221.
The intent of the Specific Plan General Plan land use designation is to
recognize areas where a Specific plan is in place and to provide policies,
standards and criteria for the development or redevelopment of these
areas. The MVSP provides the policies, standards and criteria for
development of the area.
The proposed MVSP is consistent with the General Plan. The Specific Plan
provides land uses, development standards and design guidelines that
implement the goals and policies of the General Plan. Roadways, trails,
bike lanes, and enhanced landscape corridors have been incorporated into
the Specific Plan consistent with the General Plan.
The TTM proposes a large -lot subdivision map for conveyance purposes
and would establish lots conforming to the Planning Area boundaries as
proposed by the MVSP. The TTM also include mass grading of the Project
site consistent with the MVSP.
A majority of backbone roadway dedications would occur as part of the
large -lot subdivision. The proposed TTM would establish a subdivision of
11 lots proposed for 577.8 acres of residential, school, recreation,
conservation, public facility civic node, business park, and commercial uses
and internal public roadways. The proposed land uses and roadways
shown on the tentative map are consistent with the Specific Plan land uses
and circulation element.

Menifee Valley Specific Plan - TTM
February 21, 2024
The areas surrounding the Project site consist of a mix of land uses,
including industrial, residential, and public/quasi-public facilities. The area is
dominated by Southern California Edison's (SCE) Valley Power Station,
one of the largest in the SCE portfolio and the SCE service station, which is
a facilities and operations maintenance facility. The Project site is bounded
on the north by State Route 74 (SR-74) and the west by Menifee Road,
both identified in the City's General Plan as designated truck routes.
Directly south are the Riverside County Transportation Commission
(RCTC) rail corridor, SCE transmission facilities, and Matthews Road (a dirt
road designated only as a paper street). Directly to the east is Briggs Road.
Nearby single-family residential uses include the Heritage Lake residential
community to the south on the opposite side of the BNSFRR and other
residential subdivisions under the jurisdictional authority of unincorporated
Riverside County to the east. Vacant land planned for commercial and
industrial uses is located to the north across SR-74. At the southeastern
corner of the SR-74/Briggs Road intersection is Heritage High School, with
the high school property directly abutting the Project site boundary on the
high school site's west and south sides.
Business park and commercial planning areas are adjacent to Menifee
Road and State Route 74 or internal to the site, away from existing
residential uses and buffered from the residence to the south via berming
and landscape buffering. The Project is compatible with surrounding land
uses.
In addition, the TTM is consistent with the following City of Menifee General
Plan policies:
Policy LU-1.1: Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help
preserve rural areas, create place and identity, provide infrastructure
efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
The TTM creates parcels that are consistent with the Specific Plan
Planning Areas. The Specific Plan places appropriate uses within an
area designated Specific Plan per the General Plan. Growth has been
concentrated in this strategic location to help preserve rural areas.
Through the land use plan, development standards, and the design
guidelines, the Specific Plan will create a unique place and develop its
own identity. The Land Use Plan, Circulation Plan, Grading Plan, and
Phasing Plan of the Specific Plan will ensure that that development
will provide infrastructure efficiently. A combination of pathways,
paseos, walkways, or similar pedestrian accesses are provided that
connect the individual Planning Areas in the Specific Plan to
commercial areas and recreation areas.
The TTM implements and is consistent with Land Use Plan,
Circulation Plan, Grading Plan, and Phasing Plan of the Specific Plan.
• Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where
appropriate, that reduce reliance on the automobile and capitalize on
Page 3 of 9
Menifee Valley Specific Plan - TTM
February 21, 2024
multimodal transportation opportunities.
The TTM is consistent with the Specific Plan which provides
pedestrian connections, trails, and bike lanes to facilitate multimodal
transportation. The Project was designed to promote walkability. In
addition, a pedestrian connection was added from the residential
portion to the future potential transit stop at the southwest corner of
the Project site adjacent to the existing rail lines. In addition, the
Project site provides paths of travel to encourage walking of future
residents to the future commercial uses and the existing sports park
within the Heritage Lake community to the south across the BNSFRR
rail lines.
LU-1.7 Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities (natural
open space areas, parks, libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are distributed
equitably throughout the City.
The proposed Project provides planning areas which allow for and
anticipate these types of amenities and public facilities, such as a K-5
school, green spaces, recreational amenities, and agri-commerical
uses such as a community farm. The parks and paseos are
distributed strategically through the Project area so that recreational
amenities are nearby residents.
LU-2.1 Promote infill development that complements existing
neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Infill development and future
growth in Menifee is strongly encouraged to locate within EDC areas
to preserve the rural character of rural, estate, and small estate
residential uses.
The proposed project is located within an urbanized area, surrounded
by SR-74, Menifee Road, RCTC rail lines, and Briggs Road. The
areas surrounding the Project site consist of a mix of land uses,
including industrial, residential, commercial and public/quasi-public
facilities. The proposed Project will promote infill development and
complements these existing and proposed adjacent land uses.
Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and
local design and safety standards.
The TTM proposes improvements for roadways, including but not
limited to, Menifee Road, Briggs Road, McCall Boulevard, SR-74,
McLaughlin Road and Matthews Road/Case Road, which are
consistent with the City's General Plan and the City's Public Works
and Engineering Department Standard Details.
Policy C-2.2 Provide off-street multipurpose trails and on -street bike
lanes as our primary paths of citywide travel and explore the shared
use of low speed roadways for connectivity wherever it is safe to do
so.
Page 4of9
Menifee Valley Specific Plan - TTM
February 21, 2024
The Project provides bike lanes and trails consistent with the General
Plan.
OSC-1.2: Require a minimum of five acres of public open space to
be provided for every 1, 000 City residents.
MMC requires 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. The
overall Specific Plan proposes 1,718 dwelling units with an estimate of
5,220 residents' (using 3.12 person per single-family residential
household and 2.48 persons per multi -family household )2. Based on
the proposed residents, 26.1 acres of parkland would be required.
The proposed Specific Plan proposes 29.8 acres of public parkland
(Planning Areas 7A, 8A, and 8B) on the project site.
Consistency with Housing Element. The TTM is a subdivision for
conveyance purposes and includes no building permits, including those for
residential construction which are to be issued without further entitlement
approvals. The TTM subdivides the Project area into lots that conform to
the Planning Areas of the MVSP. Consistency of the MVSP with the
Housing Element is a finding included in the resolution adopting the
Specific Plan.
Section 2: The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Conservation Act of 1965, or
the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting
parcels following division of the land will be of an adequate size to sustain
their agricultural use:
The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of
1965.
Section 3: The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed
land use of the development.
The proposed Project includes the proposal for a TTM; the subject site is
relatively flat and does not contain steep slopes or other features that would
be incompatible with the proposed development except for Granite Hill
located within Planning Area 7B of the Specific Plan, which the Project
proposes to avoid. The surrounding area is also relatively flat. The Project
site has a natural drainage pattern which flows east to west, as elevation
87.2 percent of residential development is single-family; 12.8 percent of residential development is
multi -family (per the MVSP)
87.2% * 1,718 =1,498 single-family units; 12.8% * 1,718 = 220 multi -family units
3.12 persons per unit * 1,498 units = 4,674 persons (single-family households); 2.48 persons per unit
220 units = 546 persons (multi -family households)
4,674 + 546 = 5,220 persons

slightly decreases from east to west. The Project proposes to preserve the
existing drainage pattern. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the
type of development and the proposed land use of the site.
The Project has been reviewed by various Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering Department,
Police Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments
have provided conditions of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance
with applicable regulations.
Section 4: The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with
conditions of approval, are either.
1. Not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially
and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; or
2. Subject to an environmental impact report under which a finding has
been made pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(3)
that specific economic, social, or other considerations make
infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the
environmental impact report.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Project. In the
EIR, it was found that with implementation of mitigation measures, the
proposed project would not result in any significant impacts related to
biological resources such as plant and animal species or their habitat. A
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was prepared and
identifies all mitigation measures that will be required for the project.
Biological reports were conducted to determine sensitive plant and animal
species onsite and applicable mitigation measures were included in the EIR
for their protection. The EIR also includes additional reports to determine
consistency with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (WR-MSHCP) and to analyze impacts to riparian/riverine
areas, vernal pools, narrow endemic plant species, burrowing owl, and fairy
shrimp. Review and mitigation coordination occurred with the applicable
state and federal wildlife agencies.
The WR-MSHCP does not identify any covered or special -status fish
species as potentially occurring on the Project site. Further, no fish or
hydrogeomorphic features (e.g., perennial creeks, ponds, lakes, reservoirs)
that would provide suitable habitat for fish were observed on or within the
vicinity of the Project site. Therefore, no fish are expected to occur and are
presumed absent from the Project site.
In addition, the EIR discusses amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and
invertebrates. Any significant impacts associated with biological resources
have been mitigated to a less than significant level. In addition, standard
conditions of approval pertaining to burrowing owl, nesting birds, and
Stephen's kangaroo rat and WR-MSHCP fees still apply in this case and

shall be addressed as part of standard condition of approval compliance
process. As such, the subdivision will not cause environmental damage or
injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat.
The MVSP EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022030233) has been
completed for the Project and certified by the City Council pursuant to a
separate Resolution. The TTM at issue is consistent with the EIR, which the
City Council has considered as part of its proceedings. The EIR includes a
finding made pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21081
(a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations make
infeasible mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the EIR.
Section 5: The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision will include mass grading of the project site. The
Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development Department, Engineering Department, Police
Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create
conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. In addition,
environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the Project and
associated subdivision and mass grading have been analyzed in the MVSP
EIR.
The EIR determined potential impacts would be less than significant with
the necessary mitigation incorporated, except for significant and
unavoidable impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, land
use and planning, and transportation. A Statement of Overriding
Considerations (SOOC) is included for the EIR stating that the impacts of
the project are acceptable and outweighed by the benefits of the project.
With the exception of these environmental categories, the proposed
entitlements are not anticipated to 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.
Section 6: The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating
or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
This TTM would create eleven separate parcels for construction of the uses
allowed under the MVSP (Specific Plan No. PLN 21-0217). The Project will
be designed with passive or natural heating opportunities such as solar
amenities. Energy efficiency/energy conservation attributes of the Project
would be complemented by increasingly stringent state and federal
regulatory actions addressing enhanced building/utilities energy efficiencies
mandated under California Building Codes (e.g., California Code of
Regulations Title 24, including requirements for energy efficiency, thermal
insulation, and solar panels and California Green Building Standards
Code). Compliance itself with applicable Title 24 standards would ensure
that the Project energy demands would not be inefficient, wasteful, or
otherwise unnecessary.

Section 7: The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the alternate
easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired
by the public will be provided.
The subdivision makes provisions for all existing and future easements for
all utilities and public use purposes to avoid any conflict.
Section 8: The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication
requirements (per the Quimby Act), as applicable, in accordance with
Chapter 7.75 (Parkland Dedication and Fees)
The TTM is an implementing map of SP No. PLN 21-0217. MMC requires
5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. The overall Specific Plan
proposes 1,718 dwelling units with an estimate of 5,220 residents (using
3.12 person per single-family residential household and 2.48 persons per
multi -family household). Based on the proposed residents, 26.1 acres of
parkland would be required. The proposed Specific Plan proposes 29.8
acres of public parkland (Planning Areas 7A, 8A, and 8B) on the project
site.
The Specific Plan, therefore, exceeds the parkland requirement by 3.7
acres. The proposed map accommodates the parkland within its
boundaries as required by the Specific Plan. The TTM has been
conditioned to dedicate the parks as required by the Specific Plan.
Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with the Quimby Act.
Section 9: CEQA Compliance. The MVSP EIR (SCH# 2022030233) has been
completed for the Project and certified by the City Council pursuant to a separate
Resolution. The TTM at issue is consistent with the EIR, which the City Council has
considered as part of its proceedings. The EIR includes a finding made pursuant to Cal.
Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 (a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other
considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in
the EIR.
Section 10: Approval of the Tentative Tract Map. The City Council finds that the facts
present within the public record and within this Resolution provide the basis to approve
TTM No. PLN 22-0033 subject to the Conditions of Approval as set forth in the attached
"Exhibit A" and as shown on the attached TTM exhibits (Exhibit "B") (provided in this
Resolution.
Section 11: The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on

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.
23. Non -Disclosure of Location Reburials. It is understood by all parties that unless
otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains or
associated grave goods shall not be disclosed and shall not be governed by public
disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. The Coroner, pursuant to the
specific exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254(r), parties and Lead
Agencies will be asked to withhold public disclosure information related to such reburial,
pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r).
24. Inadvertent Archaeological 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).
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.
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.
Grading or 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. Work
shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area and will be monitored by additional
Tribal monitors if needed.
Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent with the
Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) 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
reburial on the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity
as identified in Non -Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been achieved,
a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the Project archeologist, in consultation
with the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to
implementation of the said plan.
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 archaeologist, 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.
25. Cultural Resources Disposition. In the event that Native American cultural resources are
discovered during the course of ground -disturbing activities (inadvertent discoveries), the
following procedures shall be carried out for final disposition of the discoveries:
• One or more of the following treatments, in order of preference, shall be
employed with the Tribes. Evidence of such shall be provided to the City of
Menifee Community Development Department:
Preservation -in -Place of the Cultural Resources, If Feasible. Preservation
in place means avoiding the resources, leaving them in the place where they
were found with no development affecting the integrity of the resources.
Reburial of the Resources on the Project Property. The measures for
reburial shall include, at least, the following: Measures and provisions to protect
the future reburial area from any future impacts in perpetuity. Reburial shall not
occur until all legally required cataloging and basic recordation have been
completed, with an exception that sacred items, burial goods, and Native
American human remains are excluded. Any reburial process shall be culturally
appropriate. Listing of contents and location of the reburial shall be included in
the confidential Phase IV Report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with the
City under a confidential cover and will not be subject to Public Records
Requests.
If preservation in place or reburial is not feasible then the resources shall be
curated in a culturally appropriate manner at a Riverside County curation
facility that meets State Resources Department Office of Historic Preservation
Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological Resources, thereby ensuring
access and use pursuant to the Guidelines. The collection and associated
records shall be transferred, including title, and are to be accompanied by
payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation. Evidence of curation in
the form of a letter from the curation facility stating that subject archaeological
materials have been received and that all fees have been paid, shall be
provided by the landowner to the City. There shall be no destructive or invasive
testing on sacred items, items of Native American Cultural Patrimony, burial
goods, and Native American human remains. Results concerning finds of any
inadvertent discoveries shall be included in the Phase IV monitoring report.
PALEONTOLOGY
26. Inadvertent Paleontological Find. In the event that fossils or fossil -bearing deposits are
discovered during construction, excavations within fifty (50) feet of the find shall be
temporarily halted or diverted. The contractor shall notify a qualified paleontologist to
examine the discovery. The paleontologist shall document the discovery as needed in
accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards, evaluate the potential
resource, and assess the significance of the find under the criteria set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5. The paleontologist shall notify the Planning Division to
determine procedures that would be followed before construction is allowed to resume at
the location of the find. If in consultation with the paleontologist, the Project proponent
determines that avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist shall prepare an excavation
plan for mitigating the effect of the Project on the qualities that make the resource
important. The plan shall be submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval
and the Project proponent shall implement the approval plan.

38. Pre -Grading Meeting (Archaeologist). The qualified archaeologist shall attend the pre -
grading meeting with the contractors to explain and coordinate the requirements of the
monitoring program, including a cultural sensitivity training component.
PALEONTOLOGY
39. Pre -Grading Meeting (Paleontologist). Prior to the start of construction, all field
personnel shall be briefed regarding the types of fossils that could be found in the Project
area and the procedures to follow should paleontological resources be encountered. This
training shall be accomplished at the pre -grade kickoff meeting or morning tailboard
meeting and shall be conducted by the Project Paleontologist or his/her representative.
Specifically, the training shall provide a description of the fossil resources that may be
encountered in the Project area, outline steps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery
is made and provide contact information for the Project Paleontologist and on -site
monitor(s). The training shall be developed by the Project Paleontologist and may be
conducted concurrently with other environmental training (cultural and natural resources
awareness training, safety training, etc.).
40. Paleontologist Required. Prior to the commencement of ground -disturbing activities, a
qualified professional paleontologist shall be retained to prepare and implement a
Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the Project. Initially, full-
time monitoring is recommended for grading and excavation activities 4 feet below ground
surface that will disturb previously undisturbed Quaternary older alluvium (Qof) and very
old fan deposits (Qvof). Due to soil development and previous agricultural disturbances,
monitoring shall not be required in Project areas where construction activities disturb
native sediments at depths less than 4 feet below ground surface. Spot-checking may
occur in previously undisturbed young alluvial deposits (Qya) in order to determine if
Project activities are impacting the underlying highly sensitive Pleistocene units.
Monitoring shall not be required in Project areas underlain by geologic units with no
paleontological resource potential (i.e., the granodiorite to tonalite, Kdvg).
Monitoring shall entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench
sidewalls. In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor shall have
the authority to divert temporarily the construction equipment around the find until it is
assessed for scientific significance and collected. In areas of high sensitivity, monitoring
efforts can be reduced or eliminated at the discretion of the Project Paleontologist if no
fossil resources are encountered after 50 percent of the excavations are completed.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
41. Burrowing Owl Pre -Construction Survey. A qualified biologist shall conduct a pre -
construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to site
disturbance. Proof of this pre -construction survey shall be provided for approval to the City
of Menifee Community Development Department, prior to issuance of any grading permits.
If burrowing owls are documented on site, the owls shall be relocated/excluded from the
site outside of the breeding season following accepted protocols, as specified in MSHCP
Section 6.3.2.
42. Nesting Bird Pre -Construction Survey. Prior to issuance of any grading permits, the City
of Menifee Community Development Department shall confirm that the construction plans
indicate that vegetation, including suitable nesting habitat for birds, shall be removed
outside the bird nesting season (nesting bird season is February 15 through August 31). If
vegetation cannot be removed outside the bird nesting season (February 15 through
August 31), nesting bird surveys shall be conducted within 3 days prior to project ground
disturbance or vegetation removal to ensure that nesting birds protected under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code are not disturbed by
construction -related activities (i.e., brush clearing and noise). If nesting birds are
documented on or in the immediate vicinity (within approximately 300 feet) of the project
site, no construction or clearing shall be conducted within an appropriate avoidance buffer
surrounding the active nest(s), as determined by a qualified biologist, until the project
biologist determines that the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active.
PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF GRADING
43. Paleontological Monitoring Report. Upon completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils
collected shall be prepared in a properly equipped paleontology laboratory to a point ready
for curation. Preparation shall include the careful removal of excess matrix from fossil
materials and stabilizing and repairing specimens, as necessary. Following laboratory
work, all fossil specimens shall be identified to the lowest taxonomic level, cataloged,
analyzed, and delivered to the Western Science Center for permanent curation and
storage. The cost of curation is assessed by the repository and is the responsibility of the
Project owner.
At the conclusion of laboratory work and museum curation, a final report shall be prepared
describing the results of the paleontological mitigation monitoring efforts associated with
the Project. The report shall include a summary of the field and laboratory methods, an
overview of the Project area geology and paleontology, a list of taxa recovered (if any), an
analysis of fossils recovered (if any) and their scientific significance, and recommendations.
If the monitoring efforts produced fossils, then a copy of the report shall also be submitted
to the Western Science Center.
44. Archaeology Report — Phase III and IV. Upon completion of fieldwork, the
developer/permit holder shall prompt the Project Archaeologist to submit two copies of the
Phase III Data Recovery report (if required for the Project) and the Phase IV Cultural
Resources Monitoring Report that complies with the Community Development
Department's requirements for such reports. The Phase IV report shall include evidence
of the required cultural/historical sensitivity training for the construction staff held during
the pre -grade meeting. The Community Development Department shall review the reports
to determine adequate mitigation compliance. Provided the reports are adequate, the
Community Development Department shall clear this condition. Once the report(s) are
determined to be adequate, two copies shall be submitted to the Eastern Information
Center (EIC) at the University of California Riverside (UCR) and one copy shall be
submitted to the Consulting Tribe(s) Cultural Resources Department(s).

permit, whichever occurs first, the developer shall obtain all required ROW, easements and
/ or permissions to perform offsite grading, from all affected landowners.
88. 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 an 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 11 shall be used together with a
constant loss rate.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following:
i. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
ii. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 - (.8x%IMPERVIOUS)
iii. 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.
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.
