Archeology
27.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.
28.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, 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).
29.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).
a. 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.
4

b. 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.
c. 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. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer
area and will be monitored by additional Tribal monitors if needed.
d. Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent
with the Cultural Resources Management Plan 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 as identified in Non-
Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
e. 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.
30.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:
a. 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:
i. 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.
ii. 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
4

report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with the City under a
confidential cover and not subject to Public Records Request.
iii. 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
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
31.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 Community
Development Department 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
Community Development Department for review and approval and the Project
proponent shall implement the approval plan.
PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF GRADING PERMIT
32.Processing Fees. Prior to issuance of building permits, the Planning Division shall
determine if any deposit-based fees for the project are in a negative balance. If so, any
outstanding fees shall be paid by the applicant.

35.Archeologist Retained. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the project applicant shall
retain a Riverside County qualified archaeologist to monitor all ground disturbing
activities in an effort to identify any unknown archaeological resources.
a. The Project Archaeologist and the Tribal monitor(s) shall manage and oversee
monitoring for all initial ground disturbing activities and excavation of each
portion of the project site including clearing, grubbing, tree removals, mass or
rough grading, trenching, stockpiling of materials, rock crushing, structure
demolition and etc. The Project Archaeologist and the Tribal monitor(s), shall
have the authority to temporarily divert, redirect or halt the ground disturbance
activities to allow identification, evaluation, and potential recovery of cultural
resources in coordination with any required special interest or tribal monitors.
b. The developer/permit holder shall submit a fully executed copy of the contract
to the Community Development Department to ensure compliance with this
condition of approval. Upon verification, the Community Development
Department shall clear this condition.
c. In addition, the Project Archaeologist, in consultation with the Consulting
Tribe(s), the contractor, and the City, shall develop a Cultural Resources
Management Plan (CRMP) in consultation pursuant to the definition in AB52 to
address the details, timing and responsibility of all archaeological and cultural
activities that will occur on the project site. A consulting tribe is defined as a tribe
that initiated the AB 52 tribal consultation process for the Project, has not opted
out of the AB52 consultation process, and has completed AB 52 consultation
with the City as provided for in Cal Pub Res Code Section 21080.3.2(b)(1) of

mass grading. The land divider/permit holder shall retain a qualified tribal monitor(s)
from the Pechanga Band of Indians and Soboba band Luiseno Indians. Prior to
issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall submit a copy of a signed contract
between the above-mentioned Tribes and the land divider/permit holder for the
monitoring of the project to the Community Development Department and to the
Engineering Department. The Native American Monitor(s) shall have the authority to
temporarily divert, redirect or halt the ground-disturbance activities to allow recovery of
cultural resources, in coordination with the Project Archaeologist.
The Developer shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including all
archaeological artifacts that are of Native American origin, found in the project area for
proper treatment and disposition to a curational facility that meets or exceeds Federal
Curation Standards outlined in 36 CFR 79. The applicant shall be responsible for all
curation costs.
37.Paleontologist Required. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the
Applicant/Developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to create and implement
a Paleontological Resource Mitigation Program (PRIMP). The project
paleontologist would review the grading plan and conduct any pre-construction
work necessary to render appropriate monitoring and mitigation requirements,
to be documented in the PRIMP. The PRIMP would be submitted to the City for
review and approval prior to issuance of a grading permit. Information contained
in the PRIMP would minimally include:
1. Description of the project site and proposed grading operations.
2. Description of the level of monitoring required for earth-moving activities.
3. Identification and qualifications of the paleontological monitor to be
employed during earth moving.
4. Identification of personnel with authority to temporarily halt or divert
grading to allow recovery of large specimens.
5. Direction for fossil discoveries to be reported to the developer and the
City.
6. Means and methods to be employed by the paleontological monitor to
quickly salvage fossils to minimize construction delays.
7. Sampling methods for sediments that are likely to contain small fossil
remains, if any.
8. Procedures and protocol for collecting and processing of samples and
specimens, as necessary.
9. Fossil identification and curation procedures.

38.Burrowing Owl Pre-Construction Survey. The Project Developer shall retain a
qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction survey for Burrowing Owl within 30 days
4
9
4
5
5
prior to the start of construction. The results of the single one-day survey would be
submitted to the City prior to obtaining a grading permit. If at any time there is a lapse
of Project activities for 30 days or more, another burrowing owl survey shall be
conducted and submitted to the City. If Burrowing Owl are not detected during the pre-
construction survey, no further mitigation is required. If active burrowing owl burrows
are detected during the breeding season, the on-site biologist will review and establish
a conservative avoidance buffer surrounding the nest based on their best professional
judgment and experience and verify compliance with this buffer and will verify the
nesting effort has finished. Work can resume when no other active burrowing owl
nesting efforts are observed. If active burrowing owl burrows are detected outside the
breeding season, then passive and/or active relocation pursuant to a Burrowing Owl
Plan that shall be prepared by the Applicant and approved by the City in consultation
with CDFW, or the Project Developer shall stop construction activities within the buffer
zone established around the active nest and shall not resume construction activities
until the nest is no longer active. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall be prepared in
accordance with guidelines in the MSHCP. Burrowing owl burrows shall be excavated
with hand tools by a qualified biologist when determined to be unoccupied and backfilled
to ensure that animals do not reenter the holes/dens.
39.Nesting Bird Pre-Construction Survey. If construction occurs between February 1st
and August 31st, a pre-construction clearance survey for nesting birds shall be
conducted within three days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground disturbing
activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during construction. The
biologist conducting the clearance survey shall document a negative survey with a brief
letter report indicating that no impacts to active avian nests will occur. If an active avian
nest is discovered during the pre-construction clearance survey, construction activities
should stay outside of a no-disturbance buffer. The size of the no-disturbance buffer
(generally 300 feet for migratory and non-migratory songbirds and 500 feet raptors and
special-status species) will be determined by the wildlife biologist and will depend on
the level of noise and/or surrounding anthropogenic disturbances, line of sight between
the nest and the construction activity, type and duration of construction activity, ambient
noise, species habituation, and topographical barriers. These factors will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis when developing buffer distances. Limits of construction to
avoid an active nest will be established in the field with flagging, fencing, or other
appropriate barriers; and construction personnel will be instructed on the sensitivity of
nest areas. A biological monitor should be present to delineate the boundaries of the
buffer area and to monitor the active nest to ensure that nesting behavior is not
adversely affected by the construction activity. Once the young have fledged and left
the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, construction
activities within the buffer area can occur.
40.Stockpiling/Staging. During construction, best efforts shall be made to locate
stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas as far as practicable from existing residential
dwellings.
PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE
41.Processing Fees. Prior to issuance of building permits, the Community Development
Department shall determine if the deposit-based fees for the project are in a negative

52.Security Systems. Prior to the issuance of Building Permits, the applicant shall prepare
a security plan for the site and submit to the Menifee Police Department for review and
approval. The security plan for this project shall include a comprehensive security
camera system that clearly depicts the entire parking field. This security camera system
shall be 4k quality with High-Definition Resolution based in the building containing the
management office for this development, or inside a security office or other place
acceptable to the City of Menifee Police Department, that is accessible to law
enforcement at all times of the day and night. The security camera system shall have a
recording capacity to minimally save footage for a period of 30 days or as approved by
the Police Department. While not required for all developments, the integration of
Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology at vehicle entrance and exit points
is strongly recommended. This technology serves as a powerful investigative tool for
law enforcement agencies when investigating criminal activity. ALPR cameras are
cameras specifically designed to read and record vehicle license plates as they enter
and exit this complex. It should be noted that high quality day/night vision LPR cameras
are relatively inexpensive. The plan shall be approved prior to issuance of tenant
Building Permits. The Police Department and/or Community Development Department
shall verify that the security system has been installed prior to final tenant occupancy.
In addition, the trash enclosure shall be properly secured and have a lock as well as a
covering to keep unauthorized persons from entering the dumpster area.

to obtain right of way, in accordance with all laws in regulations and only after good faith
efforts have been undertaken in negotiating the acquisition of property. It shall be the
responsibility of the developer / property owner to coordinate their project timing with the
eminent domain process as right of way acquisition is required prior to plan approval.
130.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 1-
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:
i. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
4
9
4
5
5
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.
