A-1City of Huntington Beach, The Revised Village at Bella Terra Addendum to The Village at Bella Terra Environmental Impact Report Appendix A Revised Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program
A. INTRODUCTION
As part of the previous project and EIR, mitigation measures were required to reduce potential impacts to the greatest extent feasible. These mitigation measures were set forth in the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the previous project. Similarly, mitigation measures were identified to reduce potential impact of the revised project to the greatest extent feasible. Applicable mitigation measures are discussed in each chapter of this Addendum, with the impact for which the measures are necessary. As part of the preparation of the Addendum, primarily due to the format of the document, the numbering of mitigation measures has changed from the previous EIR, as shown in this Addendum. A comprehensive comparison of mitiga tion measures required for both the previous and revised projects, including changes to numbering, is provided below.
As with the previous MMRP, the following table identifies required mitigation measures by resource area.
Similar to what was prepared for the previous proj ect, this table provides the specific mitigation monitoring requirements, including implementation documentation, monitoring activity, timing and responsible monitoring party. Verification of comp liance with each measure is to be indicated by signature of the mitigation monitor, together with date of verification.
The MMRP shall be used by the City of Huntington Beach staff responsible for ensuring compliance with mitigation measures associated with revise d project. Monitoring shall consist of review of appropriate documentation, such as plans or reports prepared by the party responsible for implementation or by field observation of the mitigation measure during implementation.
The revised project Applicant and the Applicant’s Contractor shall be responsible for implementation of all mitigation measures, unless otherwise noted in the table.

MM4.2-10 MM4.2-10 Residential and Retail development shall use drought tolerant plants for landscaping. The following
are suggestions to enhance the benefits of this
measure. Evergreen trees on the north and west
sides afford the best protection from the setting
summer sun and cold winter winds. Additional
considerations include the use of deciduous trees on
the south side of the house that will admit summer
sun; evergreen plantings on the north side will slow
cold winter winds; constructing a natural planted
channel to funnel summer cooling breezes into the
house. Neighborhood CCR’s not requiring that front

■ Reporting requirements: the Association shall
prepare an annual report and submit the annual
report to the City of Huntington Beach
documenting the BMPs operations and
maintenance conducted that year. The annual
report shall also address the potential system
deficiencies and corrective actions taken or
planned.
The Applicant is encouraged to consider the
following BMPs:
■ Use of porous concrete or asphalt (if acceptable
to the Geotechnical Engineer) or other pervious
pavement for driveways, paths, sidewalks, and
courtyards/open space areas to the maximum
extent practicable will reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff as well as provide some
detention within the material void space. If
porous paver blocks are used, they must be
adequately maintained to provide continued
porosity (effectiveness).
■ Incorporation of rain gardens or cisterns to reuse
runoff for landscape irrigation
■ Site design and landscape planning to group
water use requirements for efficient irrigation
■ Sand filters or other filters(including media filters) for rooftop runoff
■ Dry swales a dry swale treatment system could
be used if sufficient area, slope gradient, and
length of swale could be incorporated into the
