The project has been subject to a joint project review and findings by the Regional Conservation Authority which found that the project is consistent with the criteria of the Multiple-Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
7. The proposed Master Development Plan would be in compliance with the provisions of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).
FACTS: The City of Murrieta adopted the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) on September 16, 2003. The proposed development site is within Criteria Area #6314 and proposed constrained linkage #13 as defined by the MSHCP. A Joint Project Review was completed on October 26, 2007, determining the proposed project is consistent 324
Resolution No. 23-4707
with the goals and policies of the MSHCP with recommendations to implement certain measures. The City has required implementation of these measures as conditions of approval. Therefore, the City determines the project is consistent with MSHCP.
SECTION 2. Findings of Approval for Revised Tentative Tract Map 2021 -2428 (TTM 34439) pursuant to Development Code Section 16.94:
1. The proposed revised Tentative Tract Map, design, or improvement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs of the General Plan, and any applicable specific plans or master development plan, as specified by State Law.
FACTS: The revised Tentative Tract Map (TTM) is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs of the General Plan, the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan, the Amended Master Development Plan (MDP), and all applicable provisions of the Development Code. The map is consistent with the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan, the revised TTM is consistent with the standards for the RS-1 zone and the Amended MDP development standards. The density is consistent with the RS-1 base zone and within the permitted range for this zone. General Plan Goal LU -1 - Provide a complementary balance of land uses throughout the community that meets the needs of existing residents and businesses as well as anticipated growth and achieves the community’s vision. The Project implements this Goal by providing subdivided lots that will accommodate single-family residential uses for the City of Murrieta. The Project is consistent with Policies LU -1.2, LU-1.3, and LU -1.6 – Land use designations that will provide for a wide range of densities, ensure opp ortunities for all types of housing, and promote future patterns of development and land use that reduce infrastructure construction costs and make better use of existing and planned public facilities. As the Project is consistent with the General Plan des ignation, the Project implements these policies by implementing the land use pattern envisioned in the General Plan. The project would allow for more efficient delivery of infrastructure, transportation, and other public services to the site and the surrou nding area. The Project provides for halfway improvements, and full street improvements, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk to several streets that are part of the General Plan Circulation Element (e.g., B Street and New Clay Street).
Staff has analyzed the Project design, including conceptual street plans, grading plans, hydrology, stormwater, traffic, and the tentative tract map to ensure the Project provides for a consistent design for future public and private streets. GOAL CIR -1 A circulation system that serves the internal circulation needs of the City, while also addressing the inter-community or travel needs. This goal is achieved by the review of Engineering and CIP staff for the included public roads such as B Street and New Clay Street. As stated in the following policy, CIR -1.5 is to maintain a set of street standards and require that all 325
Resolution No. 23-4707
new road facilities be constructed or upgraded, where feasible, to meet City standards.
The General Plan GOAL CIR-2 instructs to have a comprehensive circulation system that promotes safety. The Project design demonstrates, and the confirmed review by staff and certification by the applicant’s engineer of work, demonstrates consistency with policy CIR-2.9, to ensure new roadways and intersections provide adequate sight distance for safe vehicular movement. GOAL CIR -6 Alternative travel modes and facilities are available to serve residents and employers/employees and reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The resultant lots that are created by the TTM will have subsequent entitlements and permits applied for, which will provide for job -related businesses to be near higher- density residential uses. This provides the opportunity for alternative commute options, including pedestrian and bicycle use. The circulation system provides for sidewalks and bicycle lanes, to continue the connection of alternative modes of transit within the downtown specific plan area . In addition, the Project relies upon VMT analysis, which shows consistency with policy CIR-6.15 Utilize VMT as the performance measure to be used for CEQA transportation analyses conducted in the City in order to be consistent with SB 743. VMT will be th e performance measure for both land development and transportation projects as of July 1, 2020.
The Project includes the construction of sewer, water, stormwater, sidewalks, pathways, and roads. In confirming conformance with the Infrastructure Element of the General Plan, staff and Applicant have coordinated with the respective water/sewer district to ensure the Project is conditioned to provide adequate services for future business and residential uses. The revised TTM design demonstrates consistency with GOAL INF -1 New development and redevelopment are coordinated with the provision of adequate infrastructure for water, sewer, stormwater, and energy. Also, INF -1.4 - Ensure that new development and redevelopment provide infrastructure for water, sewer, and stormwater that adequately serves the proposed uses, and that has been coordinated with affecte d infrastructure providers. Lastly, with analysis of the Water Quality Management Plan, the Project complies with stormwater regulations, for Policy INF -1.11 - Ensure sufficient levels of storm drainage service are provided to protect the community from flood hazards and minimize the discharge of materials into the storm drain system that is toxic, or which would obstruct flows. The proposed TTM is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act as specified by state law and implemented by the City. The proposed project preserves and dedicates natural resources related to Murrieta Creek.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type or density of development proposed.
FACTS: The project site will be graded for proper drainage to Murrieta Creek and to comply with flood zone requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The proposed project is located in an existing residential area and is physically 326
Resolution No. 23-4707
compatible with the existing surrounding and adjacent properties. The proposed project is easily accessible and served at its perimeter by existing public infrastructure that will be continued onto the project site. The proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the type and density (3.5 dwelling units per acre) of the proposed development and is in harmony, scale, height, bulk, density, and coverage with standards for neo -traditional residential neighborhoods.
3. The design of the proposed Tentative Tract Map and improvements is unlikely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
FACTS: The proposed subdivision has preserved the most environmentally sensitive areas for open space and conservation. An addendum to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared in compliance with Sections 15162 and 15164 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14).
The Project is subject to the previous mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). All permits will be obtained as needed from the Western Riverside County Flood and Water Conservation District which manages compliance with water quality control and stormwater pollution prevention. Impacts to jurisdictional areas propose mitigation and appropriate permits will be obtained from applicable state or federal government agencies.
4. The design of the proposed Tentative Tract Map and improvements is unlikely to cause serious public health problems.
FACTS: The proposed subdivision is designed with adequate open space, safe circulation, and proper drainage. The proposed construction will comply with all applicable fire, building, and safety codes. Since a portion of the project site is located within the 100 - year and 500 -year flood hazard zones, the design also incorporates Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and General Plan requirements. The permittee has obtained a Conditional Letter of Map Revision from FEMA.
5. The design of the subdivision of the type of improvements would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
FACTS: The project will be dedicating property and easements which complete natural drainage systems, wildlife habitat, and linkage routes and other public improvements which satisfy overall public policy and goals for the public at large and/or specific regional concerns.
6. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).

SECTION 1. FINDINGS
Based upon the substantial evidence presented at the public hearing s on June 14, 2023, including written and oral staff reports and public and applicant written and oral testimony on the record from the Planning Commission public hearing, in accordance with Murrieta Development Code chapter 16. 64, the City Council of the City of Murrieta approves the Revised Master Development Plan MDP -2021-2430 in accordance with the following findings pursuant to Development Code Section16.64.110:
1. The proposed Master Development Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, programs, and actions of all elements of the general plan.
FACTS: The proposed amended Master Development Plan establishes standar ds consistent with the General Plan and Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan, including Goal LU-17: Historic Murrieta as the City’s cultural, civic , and community center. Policy LU-17.3 Encourage the loc ation of civic, institutional, office, and other job-creating uses in Historic Murrieta. Supportive residential development should be encouraged. This project provides supportive residential development to implement Goal and Policy LU-17, LU-17.3. Goal ED-10: A revitalized and economically stable Historic Down town Mu rrieta. Policy ED-10.5 Consider opportunities for the development of higher-density residential uses to support commercial development within the Historic Downtown. The standards for the Residential Single Family 1 (RS -1) zone, the site design, and architectural standards are in Section 5.0. The revised Master Development Plan identifies the distribution, location, and extent of land uses within a development site and identifies regulations and criteria for the development of the site. The density is 3.5 d.u. per acre for the RS-1 zoned properties and is within the permitted range of this zone with the adoption of the revised Master Development Plan. The Project preserves and dedicates nat ural resources rela ted t o Murrieta Creek and implements se veral c omponents of the site design and architect ural standards in Section 5.0 of the Downtown Specific Plan such as landscaped parkways, street trees for each lot, alleys and alley-loaded garages, and front porches.
2. The Master Development Plan ade quately addresses the physical development charac teristics of the subject site.
FACTS: The project site will be graded and include stormwater treatment and drainage facilities to comply with flood zone requireme nts of the Federal Emerg ency Management Age ncy (FEMA). The proposed project design preserves approximately 40% of the project site as open space. The project does not adversely impact and is found to be consistent with the Army Corps of Engineers and R iverside County Flood Control District Murri eta Creek Improvement project regarding establishing the top of the bank and setbacks from ultimate improvements. The Drainage Study, CLOMR, and grading plan show a design that can provide adequat e setbacks from the floodway of Murrieta Creek to provide a flood-free Project.
3. The development standards contained in the Master Development Plan serve to protect the pu blic convenience, health, safety, and general welfare.
335
Ordinance No. 597-23
FACTS: The revised Master Development Plan wi ll contribute to the compl etion of links and improvements in the City’s circulation and trail system. The proposed project incorporates water quality ma nagement measures and furthers the objectives of the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan. Development stan dards have be en evaluated and found to b e consi stent with the Development Code to protect the public convenience, health, safety, and general welfare.
4. The Master De velopment Plan is consistent with all applicable requirements of local ordinances and state law.
FACTS: The proposed Master De velopment Plan is consistent with the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan, including the standards for th e RS-1 zone (landscaping, setbacks, building heights) as well as lighting standards unique to the DMSP, and stormwater desig n. Purs uant to S ection
16.16.10 C. 1. of the Development Code, a Master Plan Ove rlay shall be imple mented by a Master Development Plan and the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan serves a s the overlay. The project has been subject to a joint projec t review and findi ngs by th e Regional Con servation Authority which found that the project i s consistent with t he criteria of the Multi ple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. All permits relating to building permits, water quality management, regional drainage systems, and natural watercourses will be obtained and are conditioned with the Project.
5. The proposed Master Development Plan or amendme nt would be in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
FACTS: An addendum to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declara tion (MND) was prepared in compliance with Section 15164 of the California Environm ental Quality Act. The residential development is not proposing any substantial cha nges that will require any significant revisions to the certified MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in the severity of any identified significant effects; there h ave been no new substantial changes in the circumstances under which the Projec t was u ndertaken which will require major revisions of the previous certified MND, and new information of substantial importance has not been discover ed. The Project is subject to the previous Mitigation Measures identified in t he Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
6. The pr oposed master development plan amendment would not create internal inconsistencies within the master development plan and is consistent with the purpose and intent of the master development plan it is amending.
FACTS: The Amended Master Developmen t Plan is consistent with the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan, including the standards for the RS -1 zone. Purs uant to Section 16.16.10 C. 1. of the Development Code, a Master Plan Overlay shall be im plemented by a Master Development Plan and the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan serves as the overlay.

The project has been subject to a joint project review and findings by the Regional Conservatio n Authority which found that the project is consistent with the criteria of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
7. The proposed Master De velopment Plan would be in compliance with the provisions of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).
FACTS: The City of Murrieta adopted the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) on September 16, 2003 . The proposed developme nt site is within Crite ria Area #6314 and 336

BACKGROUND
The six parcels identified for the project area consist of 72 lots recorded in 1884 as filed by the Temecula Land and Water Company in the Official Records of San Diego, California. They are generally 50 feet wide by 100 feet deep (varies) with a grid street pattern and back alleys. Vacations and abandonment of rights of way, including internal streets and alleys, were recorded in the 1940’s and the 1960’s leaving several of the lots without access to a public right of way.
On May 6, 2008 the City Council approved a residential development for this site consisting of a Master Development Plan (MDP) 2006-1884, Development Plan (DP-005-1825), and Tentative Tract Map 34439 (TTM-005-1824) called Ivy House. The project consisted of a 60-lot subdivision, a Development Plan for the construction of the site, and a Master Development Plan establishing the number of lots, minimum lot size, minimum setbacks, and design parameters for any development in the described area. The project was designed as a neo-traditional residential neighborhood envisioned by the features described in Historic Murrieta Specific Plan (HMSP). After approval of this project entitlement by the City Council and before the expiration of the approval, there were several State automatic extensions of time as well as three extensions of time (2017-1372, 2018-1726, 2022-2703) granted by the City . Therefore, the project approval has been maintained since 2008 and is valid until January 2026. From 2014-2017, the City worked to create a new specific plan for this area to replace the HMSP. The new specific plan, Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan (DMSP), was adopted in March 2017. A new property owner has now purchased the project site and has proposed to change the original approval and revise the project to be consistent with the newly adopted DMSP.
The proposal is for a revised map to change the configuration of the lots resulting in a change from 60 lots to 62 lots, the development of 62 single -family homes designed to reflect the architectural styles envisioned by the DMSP , and a multipurpose trail on the approximately 21.96 acres gross project site (approximately 13.23 acres net). The proposal is hereinafter referred to as “Project”.
Revisions to approved projects involving Development Plan permits and Master Development Plans are authorized by Section 16.80.070 of the Murrieta Municipal Code (MMC). Revisions to Tentative Maps are authorized by MMC Section 16.94.110.

ANALYSIS
Zoning / General Plan Consistency:
The proposed revised Master Development Plan , Tentative Map, and Development Plan establish standards consistent with the General Plan and DMSP, including Goal LU-17: “Historic Murrieta as the City’s cultural, civic , and community center” and Policy LU-17.3 “ Encourage the location of civic, institutional, office uses, and other job -creating uses in Historic Murrieta. Supportive residential development should be encouraged. ” This Project provides supportive residentia l development to implement Goal and Policy LU-17, LU-17.3.
Goal LU-1 of the General Plan describes the community’s desire for a complementary balance of land uses throughout Murrieta that meets the needs of existing residents and businesses as well as anticipated growth and achieves the community’s vision. The Project implements this Goal by providing 62 residential homes to help accommodate the current demand for quality, residential h ousing and anticipated growth in the City. The Project is consistent with Policies LU-1.2, LU-1.3, and LU-1.6 of the General Plan Land Use Element for a land use designation that will provide for a wide range of densities, ensure opportunities for all types of housing, and promote future patterns of development and land us e that reduce infrastructure construction costs and make better use of existing and planned public facilities.
As the Project is consistent with the General Plan designation, the Project implements these policies through the land use pattern envisioned in the General Plan. Its density at a minimum of 1 - 5 dwelling units per acre , consistent with the DMSP, increases the relatively limited supply of single-family residential housing products in high demand within the City. The Project’s density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) also allows for more efficient delivery of infrastructure, transportation, and other public services. The Project is in proximity to job centers within the City, specifically the Downtown. The Project is consisten t with General Plan Goal LU -3 - Stable, well -maintained residential neighborhoods in Murrieta. The Project is consistent with this goal by providing a design that will result in the development of a safe, clean, and well-maintained residential community in the City.
Goal ED-10 of the General Plan Economic Development Element expresses a desire for a revitalized and economically stable Historic Downtown Murrieta. Policy ED -10.5 provides for consideration of opportunities for the development of higher-density residential uses to support commercial development within the Historic Downtown. The standards for the Residential Single Family 1 (RS -1) zone, the site design, and architectural standards in Section 5.0 in the DMSP provide the framework for the much needed residential development in this area . The Master Development Plan identifies the distribution, location, and extent of land uses within a development site and identifies regulations and criteria for the development of the site. The density is 3.5 du/ac for the RS-1 zoned properties and is within the permitted range of this zone with the adoption of the Master Development Plan. The proposed Project preserves and dedicates natural resources related to the Murrieta Creek and implements several compon ents of the site design and architectural standards in Section 5.0 of the DMSP, such as landscaped parkways, street trees for each lot, alleys and alley-loaded garages, and front porches. The Project is consistent with Policy LU -3.4 – Strive to provide a diverse mix of housing types, along with high standards of residential property maintenance. The Project adds 62 residential homes within the density allowed for the zone adding diversity to the City’s housing stock within the DMSP, which currently, mainly consists of large lot single-family housing.

The Vision of a “downtown” evokes an image of a destination where people have opportunities to live, work and shop in an environment that creates a feeling of cohesiveness and compactness – a place that encourages pedestrians to stroll its tree-lined streets, shop in its stores, and dine. This is the “vision” for Downtown Murrieta. A series of neighborhoods work together to establish the area is a vibrant destination. These neighborhoods include residential areas that provide a variety of housing options, ranging from multifamily to single-family housing, within walking distance from downtown amenities. The Project will provide new housing within walking distance (1/4 mile) of the business corridor along Washington Avenue and adds to the variety of housing options within the DMSP. The DMSP, Chapter 5, sets forth guidelines for the consistent promotion of high-quality, well -designed development throughout the specific plan area. The Project demonstrates consistency with DMSP Design Principle 2: Promote pedestrian-oriented design. The graphic below depicts the proximity of the Project to the future Pioneer Park site, local businesses along Washington Avenue, and beyond Town Square Park.
The RS-1 zone in the DMSP allows development at 1-5 du/ac. The density for this Project is 3.5 du/ac and is within the range permitted by the RS -1 zone. The Project preserves and dedicates natural resources related to Murrieta Creek and implements several components of the site design and architectural standards in Section 5.0 of the DMSP, such as landscaped parkways, street trees for each lot, alleys and alley-loaded garages, and front porches. The use as proposed is allowed in the City ’s Project

DMSP (Section 4.0 Table 4-1), which allows for a single-family residential development, with the approval of a Development Plan Permit.
Master Development Plan:
Chapter 16.64 of the Murrieta Municipal Code authorizes the use of Master Development Plans where properties have unique circumstances including location, shape, size, topography or use. The MDP identifies the distribution, location, and extent of land uses within a de velopment site and identifies regulations and criteria for the development of the site. This proposed MDP will set a separate standard from the DMSP to allow the Project to exceed the maximum lot coverage and reduce setbacks which enables greater preservation of natural features on the site , including Murrieta Creek and future dedication of land for a Murrieta Creek improvement project. Modifications to development standards are permitted with the approval of a Master Development Plan (MDP City of Murrieta Development Code (Section 16.16.010). The proposed MDP establishes standards consistent with the City of Murrieta Development Code 16.64, 16.16.010, and the DMSP for the Project’s residential component. The MDP identifies the distribution, locat ion, and extent of land uses within a development site and identifies regulations and criteria for the development of the site. Master Development Plans are under the approval authority of the City Council, subject to findings and conditions of approval. (See Attachment 3, cover page)?
Density:
The DMSP allows for a density of up to 5 units per acre for properties zoned RS -1. The proposed 62 residential lots represent an overall density of 3.5 du/ac based on a gross area of 22 acres which is within the designated maximum density range.
Site Development Standards:
Lot Size
Lot sizes for the Project range from 5,200 square feet to 9,530 square feet, with typical lot sizes falling within a range of approximately 5,000-6,000 square feet . Section 4.6 (Description of Land Use Designations and Zones) in the DMSP identifies that cluster ing development is encouraged to protect the environment for the RS-1 zone. The Project uses a clustered approach to allow a portion of the site to be preserved as open space area. DMSP Table 4-2 (Site Development Standards ) indicates that minimum lot size requirements for attached single-family developments are not applicable to the RS-1 zone. The lot sizes proposed are consistent with the DMSP.

Setbacks
The setbacks for the RS-1 zone are established in the DMSP. This proposed Master Development Plan will establish a standard that deviates from the DMSP , which is authorized by MMC Chapter 16.64 .
Setbacks for the Ivy House Master Development Plan are proposed as follows:

Parking – The off-street parking provisions listed in Table 4-3 of the DMSP shall apply in determining the minimum number of parking spaces. Single-family homes require 2 enclosed spaces per dwelling unit.
The Project is consistent with the off-street parking requirements and provides 2 enclosed parking spaces per dwelling unit.
Traffic Circulation / Access & Egress:
The prior approval allowed street sections to differ from the established street sections listed in the expired Historic Murrieta Specific Plan. The Project is now consistent with the DMSP street sec tions identified for B Street between Hayes Street and Washington Avenue, and New Clay Street between Kalmia Street to Ivy Street. Access to the Project will be taken from New Clay Avenue on the east and B Street on the north. The proposed subdivision in cludes segments of four public streets and t hree private alleys. These improvements require New Clay Street frontage to be improved to a half width of 50 feet centerline to right-of-way per the Downtown Specific Plan. B Street frontage will be improved to a half width of 40 f eet centerline to right-of-way per the Downtown Specific Plan. All interior streets will be improved to a half width of 60 f eet centerline to right -of-way per City Standard Drawing 106 (Local Street). In general, the street sections reflect improvements consistent with City standards in the DMSP.
Architecture / Aesthetics:
The DMSP, Chapter 5, sets forth guidelines for the consistent promotion of high -quality, well-designed development throughout the Downtown. The Project demonstrates consistency with DMSP Design Principle 3: Provide a sense of place for the City by providing quality style and architecture that is a 442

distinct departure from the residential environments in other parts of Murrieta. The applicant has provided architectural designs that incorporate the look of traditional design elements from the 1890s-1930s, such as front porches and clapboarding. The architectural themes of the DMSP are intended to establish a “stylistic realm” within which various pro jects are to be designed. The P roject has incorporated the required Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and American Mercantile architectural styles through building massing, design, and building placement oriented toward New Clay Street to form a distinc tive streetscape that establishes an attractive frontage for New Clay Street between Ivy and B Streets – a distance of over 1,600 feet. The P roject demonstrates high-quality, well-designed development by, 1) providing the required architectural styles using traditional design elements, and 2) designing the site so that building massing and placement are oriented towards the public street and interior private streets defining street edges, forming a distinctive street wall, and framing the pedestrian enviro nment. The Project has provided the required elements of the DMSP to create a “distinct belonging” and sense of place for the area. The Project proposes three -floor plans with three architectural styles. Each of the floor plans also includes a variation with a front porch element in keeping with the traditional design elements.
The Craftsman homes identifying features include:
1. Low-pitched gable roofs with unenclosed eave overhangs and flat tile roofing.
2. Front elevations accented with steeper gable roof elements.
3. Prominent porches with wood post supports and simple shed configurations with metal roofing.
4. Walls which feature both wood siding (board and batten) and stucco. 443
2021-2430 Ivy House
Template Version 082020
5. Window shutters which provide opportunities to introduce accent color into the street scene.
6. Architecturally-themed exterior carriage light fixtures.
The American Mercantile homes identifying features include:
1. Traditional palette of Americana colors and materials.
2. Simple roof configurations representing gables and sheds with flat tile roofing.
3. Front porches with roofs supported with square wood columns.
4. Exterior walls treated with horizontal lap wood siding as an accent… with the balance being stucco.
5. Window shutters which provide opportunities to introduce accent color into the street scene.
6. Architecturally-themed exterior carriage light fixtures. 444
2021-2430 Ivy House
Template Version 082020
The Spanish Colonial Revival homes identifying features include:
1. Hip roofs (and tight-rake gable accents) with barrel tile roofing.
2. Shaped foam/stucco eave treatments.
3. Arcaded porches with shaped soffits (round and/or corner corbels).
4. Stucco walls with recessed windows.
5. Ceramic tile details providing color accent.
6. Architecturally-themed exterior carriage light fixtures.

Landscape and Open Space:
A Preliminary Landscape Plan for the Project has been submitted and reviewed for compliance with City standards. The plan provides a layout for landscape areas, hardscape improvements, and a landscape palette for the streetscape, setbacks, and common areas. Due to its location adjacent to an d including portions of Murrieta Creek, the Project emphasizes open space and preservation. Approximately 40% of the project site will be dedicated as open space for natural drainage, wildlife connectors, conservation, open space, and water quality manage ment improvements. As part of the Project improvements, the developer must install an interim multi -use trail between the northerly and southerly boundaries . The Project complies with the landscaping guidance section 5.3.4 Landscaping of the DMSP. On -site pedestrian amenities, including benches and trash receptacles, have been incorporated into the Project and shown on the preliminary landscape plan. (See Attachment 3).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An addendum to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. The residential development is not proposing any substantial changes which will require any substantial revisions to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in the severity of any identified significant effects; there have been no new substantial changes in the circumstances under which the Project was undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous certified Mitigated Negative Declaration; and new information of substantial importance has not been discovered. The Project is subject to the previous Mitigation Measures identified in the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). (See Attachment 4).
NOTICING
The Project was noticed in compliance with Section 16.76 of the Development Code. The City posted a sign on the property, mailed notices to property owners within a 300 -foot radius, and advertised in the newspaper a minimum of 10 days prior to the hearing.

Ivy House Residential Project
1 1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
The Ivy House Project (referred throughout this Addendum as the “approved project”) included the Master Development Plan (MDP)-006-1884 and Tentative Tract Map (TTM)-005-1824 for the subdivision of 22 acres of land located at the southeast corner of New Clay Street and B Street (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers [APNs] 906-193-001, 906-200-001, 906-221-001, 906-221-002, 906-200-002, and 906-212-001) into 62 residential lots. The average lot size proposed was 6,673 gross square feet (sf), with a minimum lot size of 5,519 sf and maximum lot size of 9,545 sf. In addition, the approved project included a 2,839-sf lot for storm water drain purposes. The 22-acre site is within the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan and is zoned Village Residential-Single-Family 1 (VRS-1) with Master Plan Overlay (MPO).
The City of Murrieta (City) prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in November 2007 for the Ivy House Project (State Clearinghouse [SCH] 2007111059), which was circulated for a 30-day public review period pursuant to the requirements of Section 15105 of CEQA. The review period gave agencies, organizations, and members of the public the opportunity to review the Draft IS/MND and provide comments on the document and environmental analysis presented therein. The City considered all relevant comments in preparation of the Final IS/MND.
The Final IS/MND for the approved project was prepared in accordance with the requirements of CEQA (California Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000, et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Administrative Code, Title 14, Section 15000, et seq.). The purpose of the Final IS/MND was to provide the decision-making body (Murrieta City Council [City Council]), responsible agencies, and the public with information regarding the environmental impacts of the project. The City Council certified the Final IS/MND February 19, 2008, and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed with the County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse on November 13, 2007.
Since adoption of the 2008 Final IS/MND, the approved project has been revised to 62 single family lots and provide on-site stormwater detention to meet updated Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) standards and maintain the required 50-foot buffer from the Murietta Creek. This Addendum analyzes this revised project.
The activities addressed in this document are consistent with the types of activities envisioned in the 2008 Final IS/MND. This Addendum was prepared per Section 15162 and 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines to analyze whether the changes to the approved project would result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts. As a result of this analysis, it is found that there are not substantial changes in regard to circumstances or new information of substantial importance such that the specific activities now proposed would result in new significant impacts or impacts of substantially increased severity. Therefore, this Addendum supports the conclusion that only minor technical changes or additions are necessary and that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental document has occurred.
The analysis of each CEQA topic area is discussed in Section 3.0, Environmental Analysis, of this Addendum. This analysis concludes that the revised project as discussed below in Section 2.0, Project Description, would not alter the conclusions reached in the impact analysis in the 2008 Final IS/MND. In summary, the project, with the proposed changes, would result in the following impacts, which are the same as those that would occur under the approved project analyzed in the IS/MND:
488
Ivy House Residential Project
2 • No significant impacts on energy resources, water resources (hydrology and water quality), land use and planning (including agricultural resources), mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation, utilities and service systems, and wildfire; and
• Less-than-significant impacts, with mitigation incorporated, related to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources (including tribal cultural resources), geology and soils (paleontological resources), hazards and hazardous materials, and noise.
While impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were not analyzed in the prior IS/MND, impacts of the revised project would be less than significant. The revised project would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts under CEQA.
1.2 Purpose of Addendum to the IS/MND
When an approved project is changed or there are changes in the environmental setting, a determination must be made by the Lead Agency as to whether an Addendum, Subsequent/ Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR), or MND is needed. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15164 set forth criteria to assess which environmental document is sufficient and appropriate. The criteria for determining whether an Addendum or Subsequent/Supplemental MND should be prepared are outlined in this section. If the following statements are true, then preparation of an Addendum is appropriate:
• There are no substantial changes proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the previous environmental document due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; • Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous environmental document due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or • There is no new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous environmental document was certified as complete or was adopted, that shows any of the following:
o The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous environmental document;
o Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous environmental document;
o Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or o Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous environmental document would substantially reduce one or more 489
Ivy House Residential Project
3 significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
• An addendum to an adopted MND may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent environmental document have occurred.
Based upon the analysis in Section 3.0, Environmental Analysis, of this document, the revisions to the project analyzed in the prior IS/MND would not result in new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified in the IS/MND. Additionally, the mitigation measures set forth in the IS/MND are still applicable, and no considerably different mitigation measures are required to mitigate the changes to the previously approved project. Therefore, the Lead Agency has determined that an Addendum to the IS/MND is sufficient and appropriate, and this environmental document has been prepared to analyze the environmental effects of the revised projects. Public review of this Addendum is not required per CEQA.
2.0 Project Description
2.1 Project Setting and Location
The project site is located at the southeast corner of New Clay Street and B Street (APNs 906-193-001, 906-200-001, 906-221-001, 906-221-002, 906-200-002, and 906-212-001) and is zoned as Residential – Single Family (RS-1) within the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan (DMSP) Overlay with a land use designation of Single Family Residential (SFR).
The project site is relatively flat vacant land with elevations ranging from approximately 1,090 ft above mean sea level (amsl) to 1,100 ft amsl. Vegetation consists of non-native grassland and there are scattered trees throughout the site.
Surrounding land uses are designated as Civic/Institutional to the north, SFR to the northwest, south, and southeast, and Large Lot Residential to the west and southwest. Physically, the surrounding land uses are a combination of rural residential to the northwest, southeast, and east, undeveloped land to the north and south. Like the project site, the undeveloped areas support nonnative grasslands.
Murietta Creek traverses the western portion of the project site and runs southwest to northeast in the project area with a channel of the creek north of the site (north of Kalma Street).
2.2 Project Description and Modifications Since IS/MND Adoption As noted in Section 1.0, Introduction, in 2008 the Murietta City Council approved TTM 34439/ TTM 005- 1824 and MDP 2006-1884 to subdivide 22 acres into 62 single family lots. The revised project proposes minor revisions to the currently approved entitlements that include the TTM, MDP, and CEQA documents, including the 2008 Final IS/MND. These minor revisions will also include updates to the Development Plan (Revised Permit). To meet updated WQMP standards and maintain the required 50-foot buffer from the Murietta Creek, the revised project proposes to include on-site stormwater detention. Each single-family lot is now proposed to contain a single-family home with an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The proposed lot sizes are consistent with the approved lot sizes, ranging from 5,500 sf to 9,000 sf).
490
Ivy House Residential Project
4 The approved MDP includes three architectural floor plans ranging from 2,400 sf to 2,850 sf with detached two and three car garages that were accessible via project alleyways. As proposed, the revised project includes homes that range from 2,300 sf to 3,150 sf with attached two and three car garages.
The garages are either accessed via the internal public streets or private alleyways depending on lot configuration. The proposed ADUs are 750 sf in size with single- and two-story options and will have matching architecture with the main house and adhere to setback standards as required under the Murietta Municipal Code (MMC) and state law. Architecture will be updated in the revised MDP to include new elevations consisting of Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and American Mercantile. The revised MDP will also detail the use of ADUs in the Development Standard section.
The approved project took access from New Clay Street and B Street and had several internal public streets and private alleyways. The single-family homes will take vehicular access either from the public street fronting each lot or private alleyway depending on the particular lot layout. The ADUs will take vehicular access from the private alleyways. Additional circulation system revisions include shifting the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain both efficient lot design and the required 50-foot buffer for Murrieta Creek. Further, due to updated hydrological analyses showing that the previously proposed temporary intercept channel is no longer required, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street along with the outflow that entered into Murrieta Creek.
The proposed project also includes updates to the technical reports that were part of the original approval. All previous technical reports have been reviewed for adequacy and validity to the revised project. As appropriate, the technical reports have been updated and this Addendum has been prepared to address the current CEQA Appendix G Guidelines and evaluate CEQA topics not included or not included as an individual topic area in the Appendix G Guidelines at the time of the approved project (agricultural and forestry resources, GHG emissions, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire). Revised and new technical reports include the hydrology and WQMP, traffic analysis including (vehicle miles traveled [VMT]), paleontology, cultural resources, geotechnical due diligence, biological resources (including a tree survey), and an air quality and noise technical assessment. This Addendum has been prepared to address the CEQA requirements for the minor revisions to the entitlement. Lastly per the existing conditions of approval, a fully executed Tribal Monitoring Agreement with Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians has been executed which will include monitoring for future ground disturbance activities.
3.0 Environmental Impact Analysis
As described in Section 2.0, Project Description, a change to the previously approved project has been proposed since preparation of the IS/MND. As such, the following comparative analysis has been undertaken pursuant to the provisions of CEQA Sections 15162 and 15164 to provide the factual basis for determining whether changes in the project, change in circumstances, or new information since adoption of the IS/MND would require additional environmental review or preparation of a Subsequent IS/MND. This analysis focuses on whether the impact significance conclusions identified in the IS/MND would change under the revised project. The environmental analysis provided in the IS/MND remains current and applicable to the approved project in areas unaffected by the revised project for the environmental topics detailed in this section. An overview of the approved project impacts in relation to the previously adopted MND is provided in Table 1, Impact Assessment Summary. 491

Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ☐ ☐ ☒ ☐ b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
☐ ☐ ☒ ☐
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are
experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing
scenic quality?
☐ ☐ ☒ ☐
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
☐ ☒ ☐ ☐
IS/MND Conclusion
The approved IS/MND determined that the project would have not have a demonstrable negative aesthetic impact or impact a scenic vista or state highway. However, the approved IS/MND did identify a potential adverse aesthetic impact related to lighting. The approved IS/MND contained mitigation measure A-1 to reduce impacts to less than significant. It is noted that mitigation measure A-1 is the required regulatory compliance to the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) as discussed in the Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP) report prepared for the project. This is further discussed below.
A-1 In accordance with BMPs for the MSHCP and as recommended in the DBESP report lighting within the Project development will be limited to residential streets and consist of downward directed and shielded low-pressure sodium lights to ensure ambient lighting in the adjacent Murrieta Creek in not increased.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project; however, the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750-sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the 493
Ivy House Residential Project
7 jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
According to the Conservation Element of the Murrieta Genera Plan 2035, Murrieta’s natural setting offers views and vistas of features that have both scenic and ecological value (City 2011b). Prominent views of the Santa Rosa Plateau occur along the I-15 and I-215 Freeways. The project site itself if situated approximately 1.3 miles west of the I-15 within an area that has very little topographical relief (approximately 1,090 to 1,100 ft amsl). The project would introduce residences that would extend to a height of 26.4 feet, while the maximum height for the SF-1 zone is 35 feet. Moreover, due to the distance and intervening development, the project would not obstruct views of the Santa Rosa Plateau from I-215.
California’s Scenic Highway Program was created by the legislature in 1963 to protect and enhance the natural scenic beauty of California highways and adjacent corridors. The State Scenic Highway System includes a list of highways that are either currently designated or eligible for designation as scenic highways. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which oversees the program, does not identify any state scenic highways in the City of Murietta. It is noted that Caltrans identifies I-15 as eligible, however it is not officially designated.
The project does not contain any historic buildings or rock outcroppings. There are a few scattered trees throughout the site, yet as noted, these are not within a state scenic highway.
Public Resources Code 21071 defines the term “urbanized area” for the purpose of CEQA to mean an incorporated city that has a population of at least 100,000 persons or has a population of less than 100,000 persons if the population of that city and not more than two contiguous incorporated cities combined equals at least 100,000 persons. U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census (U.S.
Census Bureau) data from 2020 indicates that the City has a population of 110,949. Thus, the project site is within an urbanized area and therefore, is evaluated relative to applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. The project site is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and zoning. Additionally, as discussed above, the project is proposing structures with heights less than the allowable 35 feet under the RS-1 zone. There are no other land use regulations that govern scenic quality that apply to the project site (i.e., scenic corridor, scenic overlay zone, etc.).
The project site is currently vacant land, the surrounding land uses are a combination of rural residential to the northwest, southeast, and east, undeveloped land to the north and south. The project would result in the subdivision of the 22-acres into 62 single-family lots that would be constructed in the architectural style of Modern Farmhouse, Wine Country, and Spanish. As with the previously approved project, the revised project would comply with the comply with the applicable requirements for Residential Design Standards (Section 16.08.030) and Landscaping Standards (Section 16.28) as contained in the Development Code as well as Design Standards contained in the DMSP. The requirements of the Development Code and the DMSP will ensure quality architectural design, site design, and landscaping standards are accomplished. Implementation of Design Standards will reduce impacts to aesthetics below a significant level
Lighting standards are established in the Development Code, (Sections 16.18.100 and 16.18.110) which requires that the project controls light and glare on adjacent properties and minimize impacts to the 494
Ivy House Residential Project
8 Mount Palomar Observatory. Additionally, in accordance with the BMPs of the MSHCP the project will be required to reduce lighting impacts on Murrieta Creek. In particular, lighting within the project would be limited to residential streets and consist of downward directed and shielded low-pressure sodium lights to ensure ambient lighting to reduce light impacts on Murrieta Creek (mitigation measure A-1).
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no impacts to aesthetics. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to aesthetic impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to aesthetic impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required.

Ivy House Residential Project
9 Guidelines did not include Forestry Resources as an issue area. The approved project was determined to have no impacts in relation agricultural resources.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
The project is in an urbanized area (as defined by CEQA) where there is no farmland or agricultural resources within the project area. According to the California Department of Conservation’s (DOC) Riverside County Important Farmland 2018 map, the project site and surrounding area is classified as Other. Lands that are classified as Other are lands that are not included in any other mapping category.
Common examples include low density rural developments; brush, timber, wetland, and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing; confined livestock, poultry or aquaculture facilities; strip mines, borrow pits; and water bodies smaller than forty acres. Vacant and nonagricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 40 acres is mapped as Other Land.
The Williamson Act applies to parcels within an established agricultural preserve consisting of at least 20 acres of Prime Farmland or at least 40 acres of land not designated as Prime Farmland. The purpose of the act is to preserve agriculture and open space lands by discouraging premature and unnecessary conversion to urban uses. The Williamson Act enables local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners for the purpose of restricting specific parcels of land for use as agricultural or related open space. The project site and surrounding areas are not contracted under the Williamson Act.
The project site is zoned RS-1 with the DMSP overlay and according to the Murrieta General Plan Update 2015 Environmental Impact Report (General Plan EIR) it is not subject to a Williamson Act Contract (City 2011).
Forest land is land that can support ten-percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits.
Riparian habitat can be considered forest land if it meets these criteria.
Timberland is land, other than land owned by the Federal government and designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire (CAL FIRE) Board of Forestry as experimental forest land, which is available for, and capable of, growing a crop of trees of a commercial species used to produce lumber and other forest products, including Christmas trees.
The project site, which is zoned RS-1, indicating the site is intended for residential land uses has scattered trees but does not support a forest. A tree survey report was prepared by HELIX 496
Ivy House Residential Project
10 Environmental Planning, Inc. in June 2022. As noted in the tree survey report, a total of 13 Protected Trees were located within the project site, including five arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), one Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii), one Japanese zelkova (Zelkova serrata), four Shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei), and two silver dollar gum (Eucalyptus polyanthemos).
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts to agricultural resources. The approved IS/MND did not discuss forestry resources, however, there is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would result in new significant environmental effects. No new mitigation measures are required.

IS/MND Conclusion
The approved project was determined to have the potential to produce both short- and long-term air quality impacts. Short-term impacts are associated with the construction of the project, while long-term impacts are associated with emissions from the operation of the project. The IS/MND identified potential adverse impacts that would occur during all phases of construction and as a result the IS/MND contained mitigation measures AQ-1 through AQ-19 to reduce impacts to less than significant. These mitigation measures are presented below.
AQ-1 During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is properly serviced and maintained in good operating condition to reduce emissions. The SCAQMD requires that fuel injection timing be retarded 2 degrees for the manufacture's recommendation and use high-pressure injectors.
497
Ivy House Residential Project
11 AQ-2 During construction, the contractor shall ensure low emission mobile construction equipment is used (replace diesel-powered equipment with gasoline-powered equipment), where feasible, during site preparation, grading, excavation, and construction of the proposed project components.
AQ-3 During construction, the contractor shall ensure proposed project specific sites are watered and that construction trucks pass through a shaker grate to remove excess dirt prior to exiting the site.
AQ-4 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that when soil is transported, the operator (1) employs water to moisten earthen surface prior to disturbance and immediately after disturbance; (2) controls runoff so it does not saturate the surface of unpaved haul road and cause track-off; and (3) employs watering as an emergency measure during high wind events to stabilize actively dusting surface including but not limit to soil pile, unpaved road, and unpaved parking areas.
AQ-5 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that water-wetting methods and soil-binders are used on exposed soil stockpiles, unpaved roads, and unpaved parking areas. Active grading areas shall be watered at least three times each workday, as needed, to prevent visible plumes from exiting the project site.
AQ-6 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that during site preparation, grading, excavation and construction, chemical soil stabilizers are applied, according to the manufacturer's specification, to all inactive construction areas, defined as previously graded areas, which are inactive for 96 hours or more.
AQ-7 During construction, the contractor shall ensure groundcover is re-established through seeding and watering on those parts of the Project site that would not be disturbed for lengthy periods, generally defined as two or more months.
AQ-8 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that site preparation, grading, excavation and construction, public streets are swept if silt is deposited on these roads from construction activities within the project site.
AQ-9 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that site preparation; grading, excavation and construction speed limits on unpaved roads are restricted to 15 miles per hour.
AQ-10 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that site preparation; grading, excavation and construction operations are suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour.
AQ-11 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that during site preparation, grading, excavation and construction, low sulfur fuel is used for portable and stationary construction equipment.
AQ-12 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that during site preparation, grading, excavation and construction, onsite power sources are used rather than temporary diesel or gasoline ICE generators when feasible.
498
Ivy House Residential Project
12 AQ-13 During construction, the contractor shall ensure that during site preparation, grading, excavation and construction, the contractor will establish a car-pool program for construction employees which will include incentives with the goal of achieving a 1.S persons per vehicle ridership for this project.
AQ-14 During construction, the City shall require a lunch shuttle or catering program be implemented by the during site preparation, grading, excavation and construction to reduce the number of lunch time trips to and from the site.
AQ-15 During construction, the City shall require that low volatile organic compounds (VOC) coating and solvents be used on all structures.
AQ-16 During construction, the City shall require that low VOC asphalt be used on paved portions of the project site.
AQ-17 The City shall require that sidewalks and/or pedestrian paths be provided within the development.
AQ-18 The City shall require that pedestrian safety measures such as street lighting and pedestrian signage and signals be provided.
AQ-19 The City shall require that off-site intersection traffic signals be synchronized to prevent congestion of traffic flow in the area of the project.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
In September 2021, HELIX prepared a Technical Assessment of the proposed project, that included a review of the approved project to determine if the previous air quality analysis was adequate and applicable to the revised project. The Technical Assessment is attached to this document as Appendix A.
As noted, impacts to air quality were addressed in the previous IS/MND and it was determined that air quality impacts from construction would be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1 through AQ-16. These mitigation measures would require low emission equipment, reduce on-site dust emissions, and reduce fuel usage. The measures would continue to be required to be implemented with the revised project. Because the number of residences would remain the same as what was analyzed for the approved project, impacts from air quality are anticipated to be at least the same as what was previously analyzed. Furthermore, because construction 499
Ivy House Residential Project
13 would occur at a later date from what was originally proposed, emissions may be reduced because more modern and cleaner-burning construction equipment fleet mix is now available than when the previous project was analyzed in 2007. In addition, the approved project included the demolition of the onsite structures, totaling 5,000 square feet. These structures are no longer present on the project site and therefore, the project would not experience the short-term construction emissions related to demolition. Mitigation measures AQ-17 through AQ-19 requiring sidewalks and pedestrian and traffic safety measures would continue to be implemented to reduce operational air quality emissions. Impacts to air quality from operational and construction sources would be less than significant with implementation of these measures.
Due to these factors, construction and operational noise levels and air pollutant emissions are not anticipated to exceed City thresholds, and no additional impacts from implementation of the revised project are anticipated.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. The IS/MND for the approved project identified that with mitigation impacts to air quality would be less than significant. Likewise, the revised project would not change the IS/MND’s findings with respect to air quality impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to air quality than those reached in the IS/MND, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required for the revised project.

IS/MND Conclusion
Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. (VCS) prepared a Consistency Analysis for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; Ivy House Project prepared by on July 17, 2006, and in response, the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority released the Joint Project Review Letter (JPR 07-05-22-04) dated October 26, 2007 (JPR Letter).
The approved IS/MND identified potential adverse biological resources impacts. The project site is within the MSHCP planning area and has suitable habitat for burrowing owls and nesting birds. In addition, the proposed project site is located inside the Stephens' Kangaroo (SKR) HCP fee area boundary. The approved IS/MND contained mitigation measures B-1 through B-4 shown below to reduce impacts to less than significant.
B-1 The project is required to pay the MSHCP mitigation fee.
B-2 A burrowing owl (BUOW) clearance survey shall be conducted 30-days prior to initiation of ground-disturbing activities of the site. If the clearance survey is positive, additional actions/ mitigation may be required pursuant to the MSHCP, Fish and Game Code, and the MBTA.
B-3 For all bird species vegetation removal should be conducted outside the avian breeding season (March through July) to avoid impacts to nesting birds. If vegetation clearance is conducted during the breeding season, a preconstruction bird survey would be required less than three days from vegetation disturbance activities. If passerine birds are found to be nesting or there is evidence of nesting behavior inside or within 300 feet of the impact area, a 300-foot buffer will be required around the nest where no vegetation disturbance would be permitted; for raptors the buffer would be increased to 500 feet. A qualified biologist would closely monitor the nest until it is determined that the nest is no longer active, at which time vegetation removal could continue.
B-4 Payment of the SKR mitigation fee to the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCA) is required.

15 Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
HELIX staff reviewed the Consistency Analysis for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; Ivy House Project JPR Letter dated October 26, 2007 (JPR Letter), and conducted a general biological survey and jurisdictional delineation on the project site on June 24, 2021. The JPR Letter includes specific conditions related to covered biological resources under the Western Riverside County MSHCP that must be complied with including impacts to, and mitigation for, Riparian/Riverine Areas pursuant to Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP.
HELIX staff conducted biological and jurisdictional field assessments and compiled the findings into a General Biological Resources Assessment, attached to this document as Appendix B. Based on the findings of the HELIX biological and jurisdictional field assessments, existing biological conditions on the project site, including vegetation communities and jurisdictional resources, remain largely consistent with the prior biological resource mapping for the project site conducted by VCS in 2006.
The revised project has reduced the number of outlet locations discharging into Murrieta Creek from two to one, with the revised project only requiring one outlet to convey stormwater from one expanded detention basin proposed near the center of the residential development along its western limits. Due to the revision in site design, the project would likely reduce impacts to jurisdictional and MSHCP resources compared to the project design analyzed in the JPR Letter. Similar to the approved project, protocol surveys for burrowing owl were conducted by HELIX in 2020 during early due diligence efforts for the project and were negative.
Implementation of the project would likely require a Section 404 permit from the USACE, and Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB, and a Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Agreement from California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
To summarize, no new impacts to sensitive plant or animal species are anticipated as a result of the revised project. The project proponent intends to construct the residential development consistent with the terms of the existing JPR Letter approval, including remaining at, or below, the acreage of permanent construction impacts to riparian/riverine areas associated with Murrieta Creek on-site for the construction of two proposed outlets for the project. As such, impacts to riparian/riverine areas will not exceed more than 0.05 acre, and on-site compensatory mitigation for impacts to riparian/riverine areas associated with Murrieta Creek will total no less than 0.10 acre of revegetated streambed habitat.
Given that the revised project intends to further reduce permanent impacts to jurisdictional features and MSHCP riparian/riverine areas compared to the prior approved design analyzed in the JPR Letter, 502
Ivy House Residential Project
16 the project remains consistent with the existing JPR approval, and no new JPR authorizations under the MSHCP are anticipated to be required. The project will require preparation and processing of a DBESP for impacts to riparian/riverine areas under the MSHCP, which will be submitted to the City for processing by the agencies concurrent with forthcoming processing of the regulatory permit applications for the project.
The IS/MND for the approved project identified that with mitigation impacts to biological resources would be less than significant. Likewise, the revised project would not change the IS/MND’s findings with respect to impacts to biological resources. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to biological resources than those reached in the IS/MND, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. However, it is noted that due to the revised site design the project would not have increased jurisdictional impacts and impacts to MSHCP resources compared to the approved project. No new mitigation measures are required for the proposed change.

IS/MND Conclusion
A Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment was conducted for the proposed project site and surrounding area by Michael Brandman Associates, the results of which are contained in a report dated March 29, 2006. The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment indicates that two previous archaeological surveys have been conducted on portions of the project site in the past. In 1992, the floodplain of Murrieta Creek and a buffer around the floodplain were surveyed by Jones & Stokes Associates. In 2003, a linear survey along a portion of the southern boundary was conducted by Peak & Associates. No cultural sites were recorded within the project site during either of these previous surveys. Additionally, 15 other surveys have been conducted within a half-mile radius of the proposed project site. These surveys recorded 45 cultural resources. The Assessment ultimately determined that there is a “moderate” probability that significant historic and prehistoric (archaeological) resources will be unearthed during development within the project site.
It is noted that the approved IS/MND cultural resources analysis also determined that there is the potential for impacts to paleontological resources. Due to changes in the CEQA Appendix G Guidelines, 503
Ivy House Residential Project
17 impacts to paleontological resources are now discussed in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils of this Addendum. As shown below, the approved IS/MND contained mitigation measures C-1 and C-2, C-7, and C-8 to reduce impacts to historic, archaeological, and Native American resources to less than significant.
C-1 There is “moderate” probability that significant historic resources will be unearthed during development within the project area. An archaeological mitigation monitoring program shall be implemented within the project boundaries. Full-time monitoring shall continue until the Project archaeologist determines that the overall sensitivity of the Project Site has been reduced from moderate to low as a result of mitigation monitoring. Should the monitor determine that there are no cultural resources within the impacted areas, or should the sensitivity be reduced to low during the monitoring, all monitoring shall cease.
C-2 Should any cultural resources be discovered, the monitor is authorized to stop all grading in the immediate area of the discovery, and shall make recommendations to the Lead Agency (City) on the measures that shall be implemented to protect the discovered resources, including but not limited to excavation of the finds and evaluation of the finds in accordance with section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
If the resources are determined to be unique, historic resources as defined under section 15064.5 pf the CEQA Guidelines, mitigation measures shall be identified by the monitor and recommended to the Lead Agency (City).
Appropriate mitigation measures for significant resources could include avoidance or capping, incorporation of the site in green space, parks, or open space, or data recovery excavations of the finds. No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Lead Agency (City) approves the measures to protect these resources. Any archaeological artifacts recovered as a result of mitigation shall be donated to a qualified scientific institution approved by the Lead Agency (City) where they would be afforded long-term preservation to allow future scientific study.
C-7 A report documenting the monitoring activities shall be submitted to the City of Murrieta within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources. The artifacts shall be deposited into an accredited institution that is authorized to accept the cultural resources.
C-8 Once the project-related earthmoving excavation begins, and in the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, the following steps shall be taken:
1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the Riverside County Coroner is contacted to determine if the remains are (either historic or) prehistoric and that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American, then the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24-hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the deceased North American. The most likely descendent may make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98; or 504
Ivy House Residential Project
18 2. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his authorized representative shall re-bury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriated dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the most likely descendent or on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely descendent failed to make a recommendation within 24-hours after being notified by the commission.
The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation: or The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Additionally, as with the previously approved project the proposed project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project.
Specifically, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street allows the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
HELIX conducted an updated archaeological resource study to identify and address archaeological sensitivities within the project site. To assess if the cultural sensitivity has changed since the 2006 study, HELIX requested an updated records search from the Eastern Information Center (EIC), requested a Sacred Lands File search through the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), conducted a pedestrian field survey of the approximately 22-acre project site with a Luiseño Native American monitor, and reviewed historic maps and aerial photographs of the project area. The results of this study can be found in the Cultural Resources Assessment, attached to this document as Appendix C.
HELIX requested a records search update and an updated review of the Sacred Lands File, reviewed archival research, and conducted a pedestrian field survey of the project site. Forty-five cultural resources have been recorded within half-mile of the project. One resource, a ranch complex dating between the 1940s and 1980s, was identified within the project site during the 2006 survey. Although the 2006 survey identified multiple structures within the project site relating to the ranch complex, these structures have since been removed. However, concrete slabs, the remnants of building foundations, and a wooden shed are still extant within the project site. As previously noted, the ranch complex was assessed as not a significant resource under CEQA; therefore, impacts to these remaining features do not constitute significant effects.
505
Ivy House Residential Project
19 Furthermore, two isolated prehistoric flake artifacts were observed during the 2021 HELIX survey of the project site. Isolates also are not significant resources under CEQA, as they do not meet the criteria for the California Register of Historic Resources. However, the potential remains for both historic and prehistoric resources to be present in a subsurface context within the project area. The Murietta Creek area is rich in cultural resources, both archaeological and tribal cultural resources, and the alluvial setting elevates the potential for buried resources. As such, it is recommended that an archaeological and Native American monitoring program be implemented during grading or other ground-disturbing activities, including brushing/grubbing, removal of existing infrastructure, and trenching for utilities.
As noted in the mitigation measures listed above for cultural resources, the monitoring program should include attendance by the archaeologist and Native American monitor at a preconstruction meeting with the grading contractor and the presence of archaeological and Native American monitors during initial ground-disturbing activities on site. Both archaeological and Native American monitors would have the authority to temporarily halt or redirect grading and other ground-disturbing activity in the event that cultural resources are encountered. If significant cultural material is encountered, the project archaeologist will coordinate with the Monitoring Tribe, the applicant, and City staff to develop and implement appropriate avoidance, preservation, or mitigation measures.
In the event that human remains are discovered, the County Coroner shall be contacted. If the remains are determined to be of Native American origin, the Most Likely Descendant, as identified by the NAHC, shall be contacted in order to determine proper treatment and disposition of the remains. All requirements of Health & Safety Code §7050.5 and PRC §5097.98 shall be followed.
Based on these factors, the mitigation measures implemented in the adopted 2008 IS/MND and associated adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) are recommended to ensure cultural resources are not impacted by project development. By implementing an archaeological and Native American monitoring program, the project will reduce any potential impact to cultural or tribal cultural resources to a less than significant level.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no impacts to cultural resources. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to cultural resources impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to cultural resources impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required. 506

Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Additionally, as with the previously approved project the proposed project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project.
Specifically, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street allows the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. In addition, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street, which would incrementally decrease the construction effort and associated energy consumption.
As is typical of any construction, the project would temporarily consume energy for the operation of construction equipment and vehicles. During construction, standard methods of earthmoving and other associated construction activities are planned. Construction activities would not include methods of construction that would result in inefficient or unnecessary use of energy resources. The project is designed to meet California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24 CALGreen mandatory green building standards. As such, the development includes a suite of design features that assist in meeting the required energy reduction standards.
Several levels of government have implemented regulatory programs in response to reducing GHG emissions, which consequently serve to increase energy efficiency. State agencies, including California Air Resources Board, California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, California 507
Ivy House Residential Project
21 Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), Caltrans, and the Department of Water Resources have developed regulatory and incentive programs that promote energy efficiency. Many of the measures are generally beyond the ability of any future development to implement and are implemented at the utility provider or the manufacturer level.
On a project level, the 2019 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards include provisions applicable to all buildings, which are mandatory requirements for efficiency and design. The project would be consistent with the requirements of Title 24 through implementation of energy-reduction measures, such as energy efficient lighting and appliances, water efficient appliances and plumbing fixtures, water efficient landscaping and irrigation. Therefore, the revised project would not conflict with or obstruct with a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts to energy resources. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to energy resources than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

However, the 2008 IS/MND did identify significant impacts related to paleontological resources (which was discussed under Cultural Resources). The paleontological resources-related mitigation measures from the approved IS/MND are presented below (mitigation measures C3 through C7).
C3 Monitoring of excavation in areas identified as likely to contain paleontologic resources by a qualified paleontologic monitor is required. Based upon results of the Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment, dated 29 March 2006, areas of concern within the boundaries of this project include the sandstone components of the Pauba Formation. Monitoring is not necessary unless potentially fossiliferous units are encountered in the subsurface during excavation activities and upon examination by qualified paleontologic personnel are subsequently determined to potentially contain fossil resources.
If required, paleontological monitors should be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates. Monitors must be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens.
Monitoring may be reduced if potentially fossiliferous units as described herein are not present, or if present are determined upon exposure and examination by qualified paleontologic personnel to have a low potential to contain fossil resources.
C4 Recovered specimens must be prepared to a point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments, so as to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates.

Ivy House Residential Project
23 C5 Significant paleontologic specimens are to be identified and curated into an established, accredited museum repository with permanent retrievable storage (e.g., SBCM). The paleontologist must have a written repository agreement in hand prior to initiation of mitigation activities.
Mitigation of adverse impacts to significant paleontologic resources is not complete until such curation into an established museum repository has been fully completed and documented.
C6 A report of findings must be prepared with an appended itemized inventory of all recovered specimens. The report and inventory, when submitted to the appropriate Lead Agency along with confirmation of the curation of recovered specimens into an established accredited museum repository, will signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to paleontological resources.
C7 A report documenting the monitoring activities shall be submitted to the City within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources. The artifacts shall be deposited into an accredited institution that is authorized to accept the cultural resources.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
Seismic analysis procedure for liquefaction evaluation in California has changed since the prior site investigation for the approved project. Accordingly, and in respect to the most recently adopted California Building Code (CBC) (2019), Petra Geosciences, Inc. (Petra), prepared a Feasibility/Due Diligence Geotechnical Review of the project in January 2020. Based on the changes to the CBC, Petra performed a limited evaluation of the liquefaction settlement and lateral spreading potential during a major seismic event, which is discussed further below.
Development of the revised project is tentatively considered feasible from a geotechnical engineering standpoint. However, additional investigations are required to further characterize the potential for liquefaction settlement and lateral deformation at the site. These conditions are not new, rather due to advancement in the characterization and approach to geotechnical investigations and design, more information is available. The Geotechnical Due Diligence contains several recommendations that are designed so that the project meets the criteria set forth in the CBC, which is adopted as Chapter 15.08 of the MMC. Accordingly, these recommendations are required by the CBC and are incorporated as project design features that would be included as conditions of approval. 510

24 In 1972, the California legislature passed the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zoning Act (Act) to help identify areas subject to severe ground shaking. The purpose of this Act is to prohibit the placement of most structures for human occupancy across the traces of active faults; thereby mitigating the hazard of fault ruptures.
A fault is classified as active and categorized as within an Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Hazard Zone, if movement has occurred within the past 11,000 years. Where such zones are designated, no buildings or structures may be constructed on the trace of the fault According to Exhibit 5.8-3, Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Map of the General Plan EIR, the project site is not located within an Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. No impact would occur.
According to Exhibit 5.8-4, Riverside County Fault Hazard Map of the General Plan EIR, there are no known active faults on or adjacent to the project site (City 2011a). However, there are faults near the project site that have the potential to cause moderate to intense ground shaking at the site. The project would comply with the seismic design parameters outlined in the CBC, which provide requirements for earthquake safety based on factors such as occupancy type, the types of soils onsite, and the probable strength of ground motion. Compliance with the CBC would include the incorporation of: (1) seismic safety features to minimize the potential for significant effects as a result of earthquakes; (2) proper building footings and foundations; and (3) construction of the building structure so that it would withstand the effects of strong ground shaking. In addition, the City’s Building Department would review the site plans through building plan checks, issuance of a building permit, and inspection of the residences during construction, which would ensure that all required CBC seismic safety measures are incorporated into all of the homes. Adherence with construction and building safety standards would be required (as encoded in MMC Chapter 15. 08), would reduce potential impacts associated with seismic ground shaking at the project site. Impacts would be less than significant.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where earthquake-induced ground vibrations increase the pore pressure in saturated, granular soils until it is equal to the confining, overburden pressure. When this occurs, the soil can completely lose its shear strength and enter a liquefied state. The possibility of liquefaction is dependent upon grain size, relative density, confining pressure, saturation of the soils, and intensity and duration of ground shaking. In order for liquefaction to occur, three criteria must be met: underlying loose coarse-grained (sandy) soils, a groundwater depth of less than approximately 50 feet, and a potential for seismic shaking from nearby large-magnitude earthquake. Exhibit 5.8-5, Liquefaction Susceptibility Map, of the General Plan EIR shows that the project is located in an area that is designated as having a moderate susceptibility to liquefaction (City 2011a). Further, site investigations performed by Petra identified that the site contains liquefiable soils. In particular, soils identified in the northwestern and southwestern portion of the site have a potential to liquefy, however project development could occur without significant impacts through the required adherence to the CBC.
However, soils in the area of the proposed water quality basin need to be further investigated.
The project is subject to the mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR that state that prior to issuance of a grading permit, a registered geologist or soils engineer shall prepare an area-specific geologic study, which shall be submitted to the Public Works or Building and Safety Department for approval. In addition, the project is subject to the CBC as adopted into the MMC as Chapter 15.08, which provides the standards to mitigate geologic hazards such as liquefaction. In addition, the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act specifies that the lead agency may withhold development permits until geologic or soils investigations are conducted for specific sites and mitigation measures are incorporated into plans to reduce hazards associated with seismicity and unstable soils. If a geologic report concludes liquefaction 511
Ivy House Residential Project
25 impacts cannot be reduced to less than significant with mitigation as necessary, development would not be permitted. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Ground surface elevations on the project site range between 1,090 ft amsl and 1,100 ft amsl). Exhibit
5.8-6, State Seismic Hazards Zone Map, of the General Plan EIR shows that the project site and surrounding area is outside of any areas that are identified as subject to earthquake induces landslides (City 2011a). Additionally, construction of the proposed structures would follow existing guidelines set forth by the CBC. No impact associated with landslides would occur.
Construction of the proposed project would involve a variety of heavy equipment associated with intensive earthwork, structural, and paving phases. Soil exposed by construction activities, such as excavation, could be subject to erosion if exposed to heavy rain, winds, or other storm events. The project applicant would be required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB) for the preparation a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Generally, a SWPPP demonstrates how water quality during, and post construction would be maintained in accordance with mandated objectives. Often this is achieved by employing BMPs. Many BMPs designed to protect water quality also serve to reduce soil erosion and loss of topsoil.
Specific BMPs may include the following:
Preservation of existing vegetation within staging/parking areas where feasible. Covering stockpiled, excavated, and/or fill materials to reduce potential off-site sediment transport.
Use of erosion control devices, such as straw wattles, mulch, mats, and/or geotextiles. Use of sediment controls to protect the site perimeter and prevent off-site sediment transport, including measures such as silt fencing, fiber rolls, gravel bags, temporary sediment basins, street sweeping, stabilized construction access points and sediment stockpiles, and use of properly fitted covers for sediment transport vehicles. Compliance with local dust control measures.
Daily backfill, compaction, and/or covering of excavated pipeline trenches to minimize erosion potential.
Paving of disturbed roadway areas as soon as feasible after completion of trenching. Regular inspection and maintenance of all erosion control and sediment catchment facilities to ensure proper function and effectiveness.
Further, construction would also be subject to compliance with the MMC Grading Permit regulations that address erosion control. Specifically, MMC Section 16.16.070, Erosion Control and Grading, specifies that every subdivision map shall be conditioned on compliance with the requirements for grading and erosion control, including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property, as set forth in MMC Chapter 15.52, Grading Restrictions. Once operational, the project would include a combination of impermeable surfaces and landscaped areas, eliminating large areas of exposed soils that may be subject to erosion and sedimentation.
512
Ivy House Residential Project
26 With implementation of required standard erosion control measures and storm water construction BMPs, construction-related erosion and sedimentation impacts would be less than significant.
Additionally, once constructed, the project site would not include expansive areas of exposed soils that would contribute to erosion and sedimentation. Impacts would be less than significant.
Ground subsidence is the gradual settling or sinking of the ground surface with little or no horizontal movement. Most ground subsidence is induced by humans and is most commonly associated with the extraction of fluids (water and/or petroleum) from subsurface sediments. Subsidence can also occur when dry collapsible soils become saturated. Less commonly, ground subsidence can occur as a response to natural forces such as earthquake movements.
The Geotechnical Investigation includes recommendations that are designed to meet the CBC standards and have been incorporated into the project as design features that would be adopted as conditions of approval. Mandatory compliance with applicable seismic-safety development requirements as well as the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act, which specifies that the lead agency may withhold development permits until a project incorporates adequate mitigation measures to reduce seismic/geologic hazards minimizes potential effects related to unstable geologic unit or soils. Impacts would be less than significant.
No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems would be installed as part of the proposed project. No impact would occur.
Paleo Solutions conducted both field and archival research and prepared a paleontological report for the proposed project. This report, the findings of which are summarized below, is attached as Appendix D of this Addendum.
The paleontological potential of the project site was evaluated based on an analysis of existing paleontological data and a field survey. The three components of the analysis of existing data included a geologic map review, a scientific literature search, and museum records searches. The analysis of existing data was supplemented with a pedestrian field survey. Geologic mapping indicates that the Project area is entirely underlain by Holocene- and latest Pleistocene-age young alluvial valley deposits.
However, during the field survey conducted on August 18, 2021, the sandstone member of the Pleistocene-age Pauba Formation and artificial fill were also observed within the project site; therefore, these geologic units are included in the paleontological analysis. Holocene- and latest Pleistocene-age young alluvial channel deposits and the fanglomerate member of the Pauba Formation are also mapped within a half mile of the project site, but these additional geologic units are unlikely to be encountered during planned construction activities. No fossils were observed or collected during the field survey. A museum records search completed for the project site and surrounding area by the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) in 2006 indicated that there were no previously documented fossils within the boundaries of the project site, but that fossils have been recorded within a one-mile radius of the site and elsewhere in Murrieta. An updated records search was requested from the Western Science Center (WSC), which returned no documented paleontological localities within the boundaries of the project site; however, fossils have been recovered from older sedimentary deposits within one to two miles of the project site.
The County of Riverside (2015) paleontological sensitivity system was applied to the results of the analysis of existing data and field survey. Due to its fine-grained lithology and potential to yield a scientifically significant and diverse fossil fauna, the sandstone member of the Pauba Formation has high 513
Ivy House Residential Project
27 paleontological potential. Holocene-age deposits, such as the young alluvial valley deposits, are considered to be too young to contain scientifically significant paleontological resources; thus, they have low paleontological potential. Lastly, unmapped recent artificial fill consists of previously disturbed sediments and any fossil found within these deposits will have lost their stratigraphic context; therefore, artificial fill also has low paleontological potential.
No fossil localities were recorded during the survey; however, sediments conducive to fossilization were observed in the southern portion of the site and paleontologically sensitive sediments are likely present at shallow depth elsewhere in the site. Construction excavations that disturb units with high paleontological sensitivity (the Pauba Formation and older alluvial sediments) should be monitored full- time by a professional paleontologist in order to reduce potential adverse impacts to scientifically important paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Artificial fill and young alluvial valley deposits should be initially spot-checked during construction to determine if older, more paleontologically sensitive deposits, the Pauba Formation, or older alluvium, are disturbed at depth.
Paleontological sensitivity mapping by the County of Riverside indicates high sensitivity units may be present in the vicinity of the Project area beginning at four feet below ground surface, at which point construction monitoring of ground disturbing activities should begin.
Due to the findings of the site-specific paleontological report, mitigation measures C-3 through C-7 of the approved IS/MND are still considered relevant but would be supplemented by the following measure.
Mitigation Measure
GEO-1 Prior to construction, a paleontological resource impact mitigation program (PRIMP) shall be prepared by a Qualified Paleontologist and filed with the Riverside County Geologist. The PRIMP shall provide detailed recommended monitoring locations; a description of a paleontological resources worker environmental awareness program to inform construction personnel of the potential for fossil discoveries and of the types of fossils that may be encountered; detailed procedures for monitoring, fossil recovery, laboratory analysis, and museum curation; and notification procedures in the event of a fossil discovery by paleontological monitor or other project personnel. Prior to the start of construction, a curation agreement from the WSC, or another accredited repository in Riverside County, shall be obtained.
Construction excavations that disturb geologic units with high sensitivity (all areas that contain the Pauba Formation and areas four feet below ground surface that contain artificial fill and older alluvium) shall be monitored full-time by a professional paleontologist. Areas of artificial fill and young alluvial valley deposits shall be initially spot-checked to determine if older, more paleontologically sensitive deposits (the Pauba Formation and older alluvial sediments) are disturbed at depth. Monitoring can be reduced or ceased at the discretion of a Qualified Paleontologist in consultation with the City of Murrieta.
Implementation of GEO-1 will reduce impacts to geology and soils/paleontological resources to less than significant.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The IS/MND for the approved project identified no impacts to geology/soils and that with mitigation impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant. The revised project would not change the IS/MND’s findings with respect to geology 514
Ivy House Residential Project
28 and soils or paleontological impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project, which would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in any different conclusions than those reached in the IS/MND related to geology and soils or paleontological resources, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No considerably different mitigation measures are required for the proposed change.

IS/MND Conclusion
The generation of GHG emissions was not discussed for the approved project because such analysis was not required at the time of the preparation of the IS/MND. Currently the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G requires a discussion in relation to whether a project would, either directly or indirectly, generate GHG emissions and/or or conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions GHG.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site.
Additionally, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street. These changes would incrementally reduce the construction effort necessary to build the project and the associated GHG emissions.
As discussed above in Section 3.3, in September 2021, HELIX prepared a Technical Assessment for the proposed project, that included a review of the approved project to determine if the previous air quality 515
Ivy House Residential Project
29 analysis was adequate and applicable to the revised project. The Technical Assessment is attached to this document as Appendix A.
As is typical of any construction, the project would temporarily consume energy for the operation of construction equipment and vehicles. During construction, standard methods of earthmoving and other associated construction activities are planned. Construction activities would not include methods of construction that would result in inefficient or unnecessary use of energy resources. Post construction, energy resources would include mobile (vehicle) sources, solid waste sources, and water sources. While this was not required to be evaluated in the approved IS/MND, this does not negate the fact that the project would have generated GHGs. With technological advances in clean energy and the introduction of regulations intended to reduce the generation of GHGs (as discussed below) that has occurred since the approval of the project, the revised project would not result in increased GHG impacts compared to the approved project if it were previously constructed.
There are numerous State plans, policies, and regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. The principal overall State plan and policy is AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The quantitative goal of AB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Additionally, SB 32 would require further reductions of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. Because the project’s operational year is post-2020, the project aims to reach the quantitative goals set by SB 32.
Statewide plans and regulations such as GHG emissions standards for vehicles (AB 1493), the low carbon fuel standards, and regulations requiring an increasing fraction of electricity to be generated from renewable sources are being implemented at the statewide level; as such, compliance at the project level is not addressed. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with those plans and regulations.
The project must also be constructed in accordance with the energy-efficiency standards, water reduction goals, and other standards contained in the 2019 Title 24 Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and Part 11 (CALGreen) Building Standards, including the requirement for onsite solar electricity generation. As such and as discussed in Section 3.6, Energy, the development includes a suite of design features that assist in meeting the required energy reduction.
The IS/MND did not include a separate analysis of GHGs as this was not part of CEQA Appendix G at the time of project approval. However, there is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project, that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, either on a project- related or cumulative basis. No GHG impacts are identified and no mitigation measures are required.

IS/MND Conclusion
According to a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted by Harrington Geotechnical Engineering, Inc dated November 22, 2004, the site previously contained a gasoline underground storage tank (UST). The tank was documented as removed on June 9, 2004; however the report indicates that records of the removal are incomplete and no records could be located by Riverside County Department of Environmental Health on the status of the UST removal. As such the Phase I recommended soil boring and confirmation sampling in the former UST excavation site be completed The approved IS/MND identified a potential adverse hazards and hazardous materials impact related to accidental release of hazardous materials. This impact is in association with the potential spill or leakage of petroleum products during construction. The approved IS/MND contained mitigation measures H-1 and H-2 to reduce impacts to less than significant. All hazardous materials related mitigation measures from the approved IS/MND are presented below.
Mitigation measure H-1 is the required regulatory compliance to the various federal, state, and local regulations. The applicant would adhere to all required regulations pertaining to the use, handling, transport and/or disposal of any hazardous materials or wastes. Additionally, in the event of an 517
Ivy House Residential Project
31 accidental release, the applicant is required to follow the protocols outlined in the various regulations imposed at all levels of government. This is further discussed below.
H-1 All spills or leakage of petroleum products during construction activities shall be remediated in compliance with applicable state and local regulation regarding cleanup and disposal of the contaminated release. The contaminated waste shall be collected and disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal or treatment facility.
H-2 Conduct soil boring and confirmation sampling in the former UST excavation site and coordinate UST closure reporting with Riverside County Department of Environmental Health (RCDEH) and the San Diego County Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
Petra conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the proposed project. Petra was not provided any other hazardous materials reports for review. As stated by the American Society for Testing Materials International (ASTM), the purpose of the Phase I ESA is to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs), which are defined as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions.” There are three categories of RECs: existing RECs (as defined above), Historical RECs (HRECs), or Controlled RECs (CRECs). An HREC is defined as “a past release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls.” An HREC is an environmental condition that was recognized in the past but may or may not still be recognized as a current environmental condition. A CREC is defined as a “recognized environmental condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls.” A CREC is an active environmental concern because while the hazardous substances have been corrected to meet certain regulatory levels, the contaminants still remain and have the potential to be above regulatory levels for some types of development.

Ivy House Residential Project
32 As with the approved project, construction that would be reasonably foreseeable with implementation of the proposed project would require the transport, use, and disposal of materials that are typically associated with construction activities, such as diesel fuels, hydraulic liquids, oils, solvents, and paints.
This transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials is regulated by federal, state, and local agencies and regulations, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Hazardous Materials Regulations, and the San Bernardino County Hazardous Materials Program’s regulations. Adherence to such regulations would result in less than significant construction impacts. However, it is noted that since the approval of the 2008 IS/MND, the onsite structures have been removed. Thus, any potential disturbance to asbestos containing materials (ACMs) or lead based paint (LBP) associated with the former buildings would not occur with project implementation.
In relation to the removal of the onsite structures, the Murrieta Fire Department used the residence at the southwest corner of B Street and Clay Street for fire training. It is noted that all debris associated with the fire was removed from the property; however, structure fires can impact the environment. In addition to carbon emissions, the fire can create non-carbon contamination of surface water, air, and soil through combustion of building products. Hazardous substances that can be released during a fire include metals, poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated and brominated dioxins and furans, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polyfluorinated compounds. Short-term effects are typically related to surface water runoff and air emissions. Long term effects, not usually recognized during the event, may impact soils.
Operation of the revised project would include the storage and use of household hazardous materials and wastes. Typical household hazardous materials associated with the residential land uses could include cleaning products, paints, solvents, adhesives, other chemical materials used in building maintenance and interior improvements, automotive lubricants, small combustion engine fuels and lubricants, expired pharmaceuticals, mercury thermometers, sharp or used needles, and electronic wastes from household and car batteries. No special permits would be required for such limited use or disposal of common agents and products. Therefore, operation of the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials.
The project site is not located within one quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The nearest school is Murrieta Elementary School, which is approximately 0.5-mile northeast of the site. Residential land uses do not generate hazardous emissions or involve the handling of acutely hazardous materials, substances, or wastes.
As part of the Phase I ESA prepared for the project, a search of environmental databases, compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, was conducted by Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR). According to the Phase I ESA, the project address was associated with the following listings:
Frazee and Frazee Corp. (42310B Street, Murrieta, CA) onsite, near the northeastern corner of the subject property. This site is listed on the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Hazardous Waste Manifest (HAZNET) and The State Hazardous Waste Tracking System (HWTS) databases. Under HAZNET, the creation date was reported as November 1, 2004, and the Waste Code was listed as “Tank bottom waste and Still bottoms with halogenated organics.” The disposal method was reported as, “recycler.” The quantity was listed as 0.52 tons. Under HWTS, the create date was reported as June 3, 2004 with an inactive date of December 28, 2004. Under 519
Ivy House Residential Project
33 EDR’s Directory Search, Frazee and Frazee Ranch was listed at the address from at least 1985 to 2000. Under EDR’s Building Permit Report, a permit for a “register hay house barn” was cancelled in 1964. No additional information was provided, including where on the subject property the tank was located. Based on no other database listing related to tank permits, storage and handling or violations, or an unauthorized release or spill of hazardous materials, including no leaking underground storage tank (LUST) or leaking aboveground storage tank cases reported, the potential for the UST and petroleum hydrocarbon soil residues to remain cannot be entirely precluded. This listing appears to represent a REC.
Petra recommends consistent with mitigation measure H-2, a geophysical survey be conducted in the vicinity of the former ranch buildings along B Street to locate the UST excavation. As described in the Mitigation Monitoring Report for the site (dated January 1, 2008), Petra recommends application and entry into the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health (RCDEH) voluntary cleanup program. Based upon RCDEH oversight, soil samples would be collected from borings placed in the excavation area to assess whether elevated hydrocarbon soil residues remain. Dependent upon soil residue concentrations, excavation and offsite removal of the elevated soil residues may be warranted.
The nearest airport is the French Valley Airport, which is located approximately 5.5 miles to the northeast. The project site is outside the Airport Influence Area Boundary for French Valley Airport (Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission 2012). No impact associated with this issue will occur.
Changes to the existing circulation network would be limited to improvements on New Clay Street and B Street to provide ingress/egress that would not physically interfere with emergency access.
According to Exhibit 12-8 of the General Plan the project site is not in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (City 2011b). No impact associated with this issue will occur.
The proposed project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts hazards and hazardous materials. Construction of the proposed project would not involve the demolition of structures and therefore, potential impacts related to ACMs and LBPs would not occur with the project (as opposed to the approved project). There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to hazards and hazardous materials than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project- related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required. 520

IS/MND Conclusion
With the required adherence to the SWPPP, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit and BMPs, the approved project was determined to have less than significant impacts in relation water resources (hydrology and water quality). Additionally, no significant groundwater was encountered during geotechnical investigations.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the 521
Ivy House Residential Project
35 range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
Like the approved project, the revised project would change the site through site grading and by adding impervious surfaces, such as building roofs, paved drives, and alleyways, that would alter the hydrological patterns of the site and could introduce new sources of water pollutants in site runoff.
There is the potential for water pollutants to be generated in the short-term during construction activities and in the long term due to the permanent changes to the site. Construction related pollutants might include loose soils, liquid and solid construction materials and wastes, and accidental spills of concrete, fuels, and other materials. As an urban development, the revised project would add typical, non-point-source pollutants to stormwater runoff, primarily due to runoff from impervious surfaces where a variety of pollutants can collect over time, such as driveways, streets, roofs, patios, and other paved surfaces. Landscaped areas can also generate water pollutants such as fertilizers and weed control agents, as well as green waste from landscape maintenance cuttings. Several measures to protect water quality and limit discharges are directed and implemented, through both the preparation of various plans and adherence to established programs. As discussed below, the project will be required to demonstrate compliance with such plans and programs.
Murrieta is within the jurisdiction of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB), which is tasked with protecting the region’s water quality objectives that meet the standards set forth in the Section 303 of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) as well as the state’s Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act. The SDRWQCB designates beneficial uses of surface water and groundwater, sets qualitative and quantitative water quality objectives that must be met to protect designated beneficial uses, and develops implementation programs to protect the regional water resources through its Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin.
Additionally, the NPDES program regulates point source and non-point source pollutant discharges to surface waters. Municipalities are required to obtain permits for the water pollution generated by stormwater in their jurisdictions. These permits are known as municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permits. Because the revised project’s stormwater runoff would be discharged into the local municipal storm drain system, the project is required to demonstrate that it would be consistent with the standards established in the MS4 permit as encoded in Chapter 8.36 of the MMC, Stormwater and Runoff Management and Drainage Controls.
The revised project would adhere to the NPDES Construction General Permit during construction, which includes BMPs that serve to protect groundwater quality. A SWPPP would also be prepared in compliance with the Construction General Permit, which would identify erosion control and sediment control BMPs, such as desilting basins or other temporary drainage or control measures, or both, as may be necessary to control construction-related pollutants. The City will not issue a grading permit for the project until the SWPPP has been submitted to and approved by the City (MMC Section 15.52). 522
Ivy House Residential Project
36 Post construction, the site is divided into two major drainage areas that are hydrologically connected to two proposed project basins. Drainage would be conveyed through a series of inlet catch basins in the streets and storm drains to one of two modular wetlands system. For events that are greater than the two-year storm, overflow would be directed to the two onsite basins for eventual release to Murrieta Creek either through an outlet or via the channel along New Clay Street. It is noted that currently there are flows that enter from offsite sources that mix with the onsite drainage. Under the revised project condition, a new storm drain line would convey the offsite flows to one of the two proposed basins.
Portions of the project site are within Federal Emergency Management Agency mapped flood zones.
However, like the approved project, final building pad elevations would be above the 100- year flood zone. However, Exhibit 5-13.3 of the City General Plan EIR identifies the project site as within the dam inundation area of the Diamond Valley Lake Saddle Dam (City 2001a). The project is located approximately 30 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and is therefore not at risk of experiencing tsunami hazards.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to hydrology and water quality. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to hydrology and water quality than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

37 Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
The physical division of an established community typically refers to the construction of a linear feature, such as an interstate highway or railroad tracks, or removal of a means of access, such as a local road or bridge that would impact mobility within an existing community or between a community and outlying area. The project site is within an area developed with primarily large lot residential uses. No new major supporting infrastructure facilities would need to be constructed and extended to the project site that could result in a physical disruption to an established land use or the local pattern of development.
Therefore, the proposed project would not physically divide an established community; no impacts would occur.
The RS-1 zoning district is applied to parcels appropriate for single-family subdivisions with a uniform lot pattern possessing a minimum parcel size of seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square feet. The allowable density range is from 2.1 to 5.0 units per acre. The RS-1 zoning district is consistent with the single-family residential land use designation of the general plan. The lot sizes have remained consistent between the previous and proposed entitlement with average lot sizes ranging from 5,500 sf to 9,000 sf all while being above the minimum stated by the original MDP of 5,000 sf.
The parcels that make up the proposed project are within the boundaries of the Western Riverside MSHCP. Compliance with the MSHCP is discussed in Section 3.4, Biological Resources, and mitigation measures B-1 through B-4 as identified in the IS/MND for the approved project are included in the revised project.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no impacts to land use. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts to land use. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to land use and planning impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required. 524

☐ ☐ ☒ ☐
IS/MND Conclusion
The approved project was determined to have less than significant impacts in relation mineral resources.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Mineral resources are commonly defined as a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic, or fossilized organic material in or on the earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Mineral resources can be categorized into three classes: fuel, metallic, and non-metallic. Fuel resources comprise coal, oil, and natural gas. Metals include such resources as gold, silver, iron, and copper. Lastly, non- metal resources include industrial minerals and construction aggregate. Industrial minerals include boron compounds, rare-earth elements, clays, limestone, gypsum, salt, and dimension stone.
Construction aggregate includes sand and gravel, and crushed stone.
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) is the primary regulator surface mining in the state. The act requires the state geologist (California Geological Survey) to identify all mineral deposits in the state and to classify them based on their significance. SMARA defines a mineral deposit as a naturally occurring concentration of minerals in amounts or arrangement that under certain conditions may constitute a mineral resource. The concentration may be of value for its chemical or physical characteristics. The classification of these mineral resources is a joint effort of the State and local governments. It is based on geologic factors and requires that the State Geologist classify the mineral resources area as one of the four Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs), Scientific Resource Zones (SZs), or Identified Resource Areas (IRAs), described below:
MRZ-1: A Mineral Resource Zone where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present or likely to be present.
MRZ-2: A Mineral Resource Zone where adequate information indicates that significant mineral deposits are present, or a likelihood of their presence and development should be controlled. 525
Ivy House Residential Project
39 MRZ-3: A Mineral Resource Zone where mineral resource significance is undetermined. MRZ-4: A Mineral Resource Zone where there is insufficient data to assign any other MRZ designation.
SZ Areas: Containing unique or rare occurrences of rocks, minerals, or fossils that are of outstanding scientific significance shall be classified in this zone. IRA Areas: County or State Division of Mines and Geology Identified Areas where adequate production and information indicate that significant minerals are present.
According to the General Plan EIR, the lands west of Interstate 15 are classified as MRZ-1, indicating that no significant mineral deposits are likely to be present (City 2011). And Exhibit 5.12-1, Mineral Resources of the General Plan EIR show no mineral resource extraction sites within the project site or surrounding area (City 2011a).
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to mineral resources impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to mineral resources than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

The approved IS/MND identified a potential adverse noise impacts. As shown below, the approved IS/MND contained mitigation measure N1 through N3 to reduce impacts to less than significant.
N-1 During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is equipped with appropriate noise attenuation devices. (e.g., mufflers).
N-2 With the exception of emergency conditions, construction shall be limited to daylight hours or no later than 7 p.m.
N-3 If noise complaints demonstrate that a significant noise impact is affecting sensitive receptors due to construction activities (noise levels as measured at the receptor location at a level in excess of the City's noise significance thresholds), the City shall require the construction contractor to apply appropriate measures to reduce the impacts of noise on the sensitive receptor to levels within the City's significance thresholds.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
In September 2021, HELIX prepared a Technical Assessment of the proposed project, that included a review of the approved project to determine if the previous analysis was adequate and applicable to the revised project.
The IS/MND concluded that operational noise level impacts associated with the approved project’s residential uses would be less than significant and that the future residential uses would be compatible with the General Plan’s Noise Element. The project does not propose a change in land uses from what was previously approved, and operational noise levels are anticipated to be the same as what was analyzed in the IS/MND. Due to the currently planned ADUs that would be located within each residential lot along with the main residences, an analysis of the project’s Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system noise was conducted to ensure operational noise impacts remain less than significant. Detailed analysis for operational noise can be found in the HVAC Noise Analysis, attached to this document as Appendix E.
Because the revised project would utilize the previous project’s site with the same number of residential units, construction noise is anticipated to be similar to what was identified in the previously approved project. No impulsive construction equipment such as drill rigs, rock crushers, or hoe rams would be required, and the anticipated construction equipment identified in the previous IS/MND is not expected 527
Ivy House Residential Project
41 to change. Therefore, the prior IS/MND’s conclusions that noise levels would be less than significant with mitigation measures N1, N2, and N3, would not change for the revised project. These mitigation measures would limit construction to daylight hours and require noise attenuation devices on construction equipment.
Operational noise from the project’s HVAC units is subject to standards set forth in Section 16.30.090, Exterior Noise Standards, of the City’s Municipal Code. Per Table 3-6 in Section 16.30.090, noise levels at residential receptor properties shall not exceed 45 A-weighted decibels (dBA) during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) or 50 dBA during daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.).
The project would include ground-mounted HVAC units on the side of each residence and ADU. The analysis assumed typical to larger-sized Carrier 38HRD060 split system condensers. The Computer Aided Noise Abatement (CadnaA) model version 2021 was used to calculate noise levels at residential receptor properties generated by operation of the project’s HVAC units. In the CadnaA model, HVAC units were placed on the sides of each residence and ADU. Receivers were located at residential receptor property lines to the northwest, northeast, and southeast of the project site. The highest calculated noise level was 40.4 dBA at the residential receptor property line to the southeast of the project site. Noise levels at all modeled receiver locations were below the 45-dBA nighttime noise standard and 50-dBA daytime noise standard for residential uses. As such, the project’s operational HVAC noise levels are within City standards, and impacts would be less than significant, consistent with the determination in the MND.
Due to these factors, construction and operational noise levels are not anticipated to exceed City thresholds, and no additional impacts from implementation of the revised project are anticipated. The IS/MND for the approved project identified that with mitigation noise impacts would be less than significant. Likewise, the revised project would not change the IS/MND’s findings with respect to noise impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to noise than those reached in the IS/MND, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required for the revised project.

42 IS/MND Conclusion
The approved project was determined to have less than significant impacts in relation to population and housing.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot.
Growth inducing impacts are caused by those characteristics of a project that foster or encourage population and/or economic growth, such as new housing (direct) or creation of a new job center or the expansion of infrastructure to increase capacity (indirect).
The revised project would introduce 62 new residential homes and accompanying ADUs, which would directly induce growth in the project area. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average household size in the City is 3.49 people (U.S. Census Bureau 2021). Applying this rate, an additional 62 single family homes could result in a population increase of approximately 216 people. Conservatively considering that under California law no more than two people may reside per bedroom, the ADUs would generate an additional 124 people. If all 62 homes and ADUs were occupied by new residents, the project would represent an increase in the City’s population by approximately .031 percent.
The site is designated as SFR and zoned as RS-1, indicating the City’s intent for the site to accommodate residential housing. Further, as part of the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target for Murrieta, the City recognized the potential for the project site to accommodate a portion of the of the need calculation of 3,304 residences. Therefore, while the project would directly induce population in the area through the construction of new homes, this development is consistent with the City’s intent to provide housing as expressed through its General Plan and Zoning Code and the RHNA.
Direct impacts would continue to be less than significant.
The project does not involve activities or features that would indirectly induce growth. The project does not propose the installation of utility infrastructure that would expand beyond the project site.
Improvements to the current site access would occur through the installation of project drives and an internal network of alleyways. However, the project does not include off-site roadway improvements.
Therefore, the project would not indirectly contribute to substantial growth.
The proposed project includes the subdivision of the 22-acre project site for the construction of 62 single-family lots on undeveloped land. Therefore, the proposed project would not remove housing and would not displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
The proposed project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts population and housing. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant 529

Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. Further, the revised project would shift the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain efficient lot design while avoiding the jurisdictional delineation that is on the property boundary on the southeast portion of the site. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
The project would result in an increase of residents in the area; however, this increase is accounted for in the General Plan. Given that the General Plan provides the foundation for the adequate provision of services for existing and planned land uses, project-related development is accounted for in the 530
Ivy House Residential Project
44 allocation of resources. As identified in the General Plan EIR, the Murrieta Fire Department (MFD) has indicated that the proposed General Plan buildout would not create significant changes to its services (City 2011a).
The project does not represent a unique land use or type of construction that would require additional MFD resources, would not have a significant impact involving fire response times, and would not otherwise create a substantially greater need for fire protection services than already exists. The project applicant is required to submit project plans to MFD for review and plan check approval with respect to applicable fire protection standards set forth in Chapter 15.24 of the MMC approval is required prior to the issuance of building permits. Through this routine process, MFD confirms that the project meets all of the applicable fire codes set forth by the State Fire Marshal and the City’s building code, including sufficient fire flow and emergency access for fire engines and crews.
Implementation of the proposed project may result in an increase in the demand for emergency services; however the size and location of the project would not place an undue hardship on the fire department since they are presently servicing the areas surrounding the site and since the population growth associated with the project is accounted for in the General Plan. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not exceed the capacity of the Murrieta Fire Department to serve the site with existing fire protection services and resources.
Typical of residential developments, such services would be in relation to property crimes or crimes against persons, however these types of crimes are not considered unique. Yet, as described in the General Plan EIR, it is reasonably foreseeable that new or physically altered facilities within the City would be required to serve the growth associated with the buildout of the General Plan. Therefore, prior to the issuance of an Occupancy Permit for the project, the applicant would be required to contribute a fair share development impact fee to provide adequate facilities and capital to support the development.
The project includes the development of 62 single-family homes, some of which may house school-aged children. The project site is located within the boundaries of the Murrieta Unified School District (MUSD), which serves grades pre-school through 12. As discussed in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, using approved planning forecasts, the project could result in approximately 340 new persons in the project area, some of which may be school-age children. There would be an increase in the demand for MUSD school services if the homes are ultimately occupied by people from outside the City or County.
California Education Code Section 17620 and CCR Section 65995 allow school districts to levy fees on residential and/or commercial/industrial construction projects within a school district’s boundaries. The State Allocation Board sets the per-square-foot Level I school impact fees (developer fees) every two years.
The project would be required to pay the current statutory developer fee (currently $4.08 per square foot of residential construction) as a condition of building permit approval. The Leroy Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 established the use of developer fees as mitigation for school districts in California.
Developer fees may be used for multiple purposes, including to fund construction or reconstruction of school facilities, and to fund costs attributable to the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to the development in order to refurbish existing facilities to maintain the existing level of service or achieve an adopted level of service that is consistent with a general plan. Thus, the project’s 531
Ivy House Residential Project
45 school impacts are fully mitigated through the payment of the required developer impact fee that has been adopted at the time of project approval.
With the increase in population there would be a corresponding increase in the use of parks, especially associated with residents that relocate from outside of Murrieta. The applicant is required to pay the Development Impact Fee and as stated in Chapter 16.36.010 pf the MMC, it is the intent of the City to require every person who develops land to mitigate the impacts of that development on the City's public facilities. The City will therefore require developers to pay a public facilities development impact fee that will assist in meeting the demand for public facilities caused by development. Per MMC Chapter
16.36.020, the applicant shall pay this fee prior to the issuance of a development permit.
The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the approved project. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to impacts to public services. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to public services than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to recreation than those reached in the prior environmental document, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

IS/MND Conclusion
The approved IS/MND did not identify impacts to emergency access, parking capacity, or alternative transportation. The approved project would be required to participate in the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee for Western Riverside County, a comprehensive funding source for arterial highway improvements to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development on regional arterial highways. The approved IS/MND identified a potential adverse transportation impact in relation to increased trips and congestion. The approved IS/MND contained the following mitigation measures T-1 and T-2 to reduce impacts to less than significant. It should be noted that the adopted IS/MND did not address potential impacts related to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), which was first included in the CEQA guidelines in December 2018.
T-1 Construct half street improvements with appropriate transitions along New Clay Street and B Street to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

47 T-2 Install stop signs at the project egress points and alley egress points as required by and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot.
The revised project would not introduce any new features (in comparison to the approved project) that would conflict with the implementation of a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. As noted in Section 3.3, Air Quality, the revised project shall include pedestrian paths or sidewalks and install pedestrian safety measures.
Senate Bill 743, resulted in a shift in the measure of effectiveness for determining transportation impacts from level of service and vehicular delay, as was evaluated in the IS/MND, to VMT. To satisfy SB 743, Translutions prepared a VMT Screening Analysis for the revised project in January 2021. This evaluation was conducted based on the City of Murrieta Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guidelines, May 2020.
The City uses the following screening thresholds to exempt a project from a VMT analysis:
Projects generating less than 110 daily vehicle trips regardless of whether or not consistent with the General Plan.
Local-serving retail that primarily serves the City and/or adjacent cities. Office and other employment-related land uses reducing commutes outside the local area. Local-serving day care centers, pre-K and K-12 schools. Local parks and civic uses.
Local-serving gas stations, banks, and hotels (e.g., non-destination hotels). Local serving community colleges that are consistent with Southern California Association of Governments Regional Transportation {Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy assumptions. Student housing projects.
The proposed project does not fit the screening criteria identified above. Based on the City’s Guidelines, projects that are not screened out using the process above shall perform a limited analysis of the VMT expected to be generated by the project and compare that to the VMT expected to be generated by the land use assumed in the General Plan. This should result in one of two outcomes as follows:
534
Ivy House Residential Project
48 VMT is less than the land use assumed in the General Plan – Less than Significant VMT impact and no need for further analysis in a transportation impact analysis for VMT. VMT is more than the land use assumed in the General Plan - Likely Significant VMT impact and need for full analysis in a transportation impact analysis for VMT.
A significant transportation impact will be assumed to occur if the proposed project would be expected to generate more VMT than the land use assumed in the General Plan. In these cases, VMT will be analyzed and VMT mitigation will need to be considered.
The proposed project land use is consistent with the General Plan since the site is already entitled and the minor changes proposed do not alter the land uses currently approved for the project site.
Therefore, the proposed land use will have the same VMT as the General Plan and the above numbers should not change. Therefore, based on the City Guidelines, there will be a less than significant VMT impact and there is no need for further VMT analysis.
There would be no hazardous design features or incompatible uses introduced as a result of the project.
The project is a typical residential subdivision that is comparable to the surrounding land uses to the south and east. No unique roadway features, traffic patterns, or incompatible vehicles would be introduced as part of the development. The internal street network would be capable of providing safe and efficient access to and from each of the 62 proposed residences and is similar to that of the approved project. Additionally, the internal roadways would be designed with rights-of-way, in accordance with City standards and would have sufficient capacity to support the residential traffic. In addition, the MFD and City Public Works Department would review the circulation to ensure compliance with MFD standards (turning radii, street widths,) and traffic safety standards (line of sight, traffic calming, etc.).

☐ ☒ ☐ ☐
IS/MND Conclusion
Subsequent to preparation of the 2008 IS/MND, the passage of AB 52 (Chapter 532, Statutes 2014) on September 27, 2016, required an update to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines to include questions related to impacts to tribal cultural resources. A tribal cultural resource may be considered significant if it is included in a local or state register of historic resources; is determined by the lead agency to be significant pursuant to the criteria set forth in PRC Section 5024.1; is geographically designated landscape that meets one or more of the criteria in PRC Section 21084.1; is a unique archaeological resource described in PRC Section 21083.2; or is a non-unique archaeological resource if it conforms to the above criteria. The approved IS/MND concluded that the approved project result in impacts to cultural resources because it involves and included mitigation measures to reduce impacts to less than significant.
The approved IS/MND contained mitigation measures C-1 and C-2, C-7, and C-8 (see Section 3.5, Cultural Resources) relevant to tribal cultural resources.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. As discussed in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, there is the potential for potential remains for both historic and prehistoric resources to be present in a subsurface context within the project area. The Murietta Creek area is rich in cultural resources, both archaeological and tribal cultural resources, and the alluvial setting elevates the potential for buried resources. As such, as required by Mitigation Measure C-1, discussed above, it is recommended that an archaeological and Native American monitoring program be implemented during grading or other ground-disturbing activities, including brushing/grubbing, removal of existing infrastructure, and trenching for utilities.
The monitoring program should include attendance by the archaeologist and Native American monitor at a preconstruction meeting with the grading contractor and the presence of archaeological and Native American monitors during initial ground-disturbing activities on site. Both archaeological and Native American monitors would have the authority to temporarily halt or redirect grading and other ground- disturbing activity in the event that cultural resources are encountered. If significant cultural material is encountered, the project archaeologist will coordinate with the Monitoring Tribe, the applicant, and City staff to develop and implement appropriate avoidance, preservation, or mitigation measures. 536
Ivy House Residential Project
50 Based on these factors, the mitigation measures implemented in the 2008 MMRP are recommended to ensure cultural resources are not significantly impacted by the revised project. By implementing an archaeological and Native American monitoring program consistent with Mitigation Measure C-1, the project will reduce any potential impact to cultural or tribal cultural resources to a less than significant level.
The proposed project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no impacts to cultural resources (including those to Native American resources). As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to cultural (tribal cultural) impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to tribal cultural resources impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents for archaeological and Native American resources, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required.

537
Ivy House Residential Project
51 IS/MND Conclusion
The project involves localized infrastructure improvements and connections to accommodate site development. The project would be required to pay fees to accommodate infrastructure improvements for water and sewer. Due to an increase in capacity in the County to accommodate planning projections, the additional solid waste generated by the approved project (and within the General Plan planning projections) could be accommodated. The approved project was determined to have no impacts in relation utility and service systems.
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Further, due to the findings of updated hydrological analysis that indicated that the temporary intercept channel was no longer required as a result of project area improvements, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street.
Similar to the approved project, there would be various upgrades and connections to the existing infrastructure that occurs within and surrounding the site, the extent of impacts has been examined in the context of the project as a whole (i.e., grading for utility trenches would be considered in overall grading plan). The project would not result in the need for new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities.
Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) would provide water and sewer service to the site. To calculate future water demands, the WMWD relies upon projected population and growth rate projections as determined by land use policies in the general plans, thereby ensuring that adequate supplies are being planned for existing and future water users. Like the approved project, the revised project is consistent with the General Plan and therefore has been accounted for in water and sewer planning documents. Likewise, as with the approved project, the applicant would be required to pay development connection fees to provide for current and future infrastructure to support proposed projects.
The General Plan EIR determined that the combined remaining capacities of landfills serving the City would be adequate to accommodate the buildout of the proposed General Plan 2035 (City 2011a). The project would be consistent with General Plan and would not generate additional solid waste beyond what was anticipated in the General Plan. The City participates in a number of programs that promote recycling that are intended to help achieve the goal to divert solid waste from landfills. Solid waste and debris generated by the project would be disposed of consistent with City standards The proposed project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no impacts to utilities and service systems. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to utility and service systems impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to utilities and service system impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No mitigation measures are required.

IS/MND Conclusion
In December 2018, the California Natural Resources Agency adopted a comprehensive update to the state’s CEQA Guidelines that incorporated a new category, wildfire impacts, into Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, the prior IS/MND for the approved project did not contain a discussion of wildfire related issues in its own topical category but did address fire hazard within its Hazards section.
The analysis in the IS/MND concluded the project would not increase the fire hazard characteristics of any project site because the project is outside of areas designated as Wildland areas which may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards and very high fire hazard severity zones according to the CAL FIRE fire hazards map and Exhibit VI-7 of the City's General Plan (City 2011b).
Revised Project Conclusion
Implementation of the revised project would occur within the same parcels evaluated in the prior environmental documents. The revised project would develop 62 single family lots with the general street layout of the previously approved project. Additionally, the lot sizes would remain within the range of the approved project, however the homes would vary in size from 2,300 to 3,150 sf (as opposed to 2,400 to 2,850 sf) and have attached (as opposed to detached) garages with a single 750 sf ADU on each lot. The project site is level and does not contain any significant slopes. The surrounding area does not support the common characteristics identified as a wildfire risk, such as difficult terrain, inadequate access, and unmaintained vegetation.
539
Ivy House Residential Project
53 As discussed in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, according to Exhibit 12-8 of the General Plan, the project site is not in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (City 2011). Like the approved project, the revised project would adhere to the California Fire Code.
During construction of the project, heavy construction vehicles could interfere with emergency response to the site or emergency evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency (e.g., vehicles traveling behind the slow-moving truck). However, such trips would be brief and infrequent. Additionally, although traffic would temporarily need to be directed around the construction when making utility tie-ins, the project construction would not require road closures. Public roadways would remain open for standard traffic and emergency response vehicles for the duration of construction The revised project is within the parameters of the types of actions envisioned to occur with implementation of the previously approved project. The prior environmental document for the approved project identified that with mitigation there would be no wildfire impacts. As such, the revised project would not change any of the findings with respect to wildfire impacts. There is no new information, such as new regulations, a change of circumstances, or changes to the project that would give rise to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. This analysis does not result in different conclusions related to aesthetic impacts than those reached in the prior environmental documents, either on a project-related or cumulative basis. No new mitigation measures are required.
4.0 Conclusions
The purpose of this Addendum was to address and analyze the environmental effects associated with changes to the approved project that occurred since the adoption of the IS/MND. Based on the foregoing analysis, it is concluded that the analysis conducted, and the conclusions reached in the IS/MND adopted February 19, 2008, remain valid. The proposed change to the project would not cause new significant impacts not identified in the IS/MND, and no considerably different mitigation measures would be necessary to reduce said environmental impacts. Therefore, no further environmental documentation or review beyond this Addendum is required.

5 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources the City cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
A “No Impact” answer does not require a source listing if it is clearly apparent by a reasonable person that the project does not affect a particular issue (e.g. the construction of infrastructure will not impact parking capacity). The source reference in the parentheses would be “not applicable” or (N/A).
Potentially Potentially Less than
Significant Significant Significant No
Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Unless Mitigated Impact Impact
Would the proposal:
Insufficient parking capacity? (N/A) X
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if an effect is significant or potentially significant, or if the Planning Department staff lacks information to make a finding of insignificance. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less than Significant Impact.” The Planning Department must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 18 at the end of the checklist.
6) A reference list of information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances) has been established. The source list is attached to the checklist and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the impact assessment discussion. See sample question below.
Potentially Potentially Less than
Significant Significant Significant No
Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Unless Mitigated Impact Impact
Would the proposal result in potential

1. LAND USE AND PLANNING - Would the
project:
a) Conflict with general plan designation or
zoning? (1, 3, 4, 6)
X
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans
or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project? (1,2,6,41,56)
X
c) Affect agricultural resources or operations?
(2,6,4,41) X
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of
an established community (including a low-
income or minority community)? (1,3,6)
X

1.a. The parcel that is proposed for this project is currently designated in the General Plan as part of the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan and is zoned as Village Residential Single- Family -1 (VRS-1). The VRS-1 designation provides for residential uses with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and a density range between 2.1 and 5.0 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and a target density of 3.5du/ac.
The Historic Murrieta Specific Plan states: The primary purpose of the VRS-1 District is to provide for residential development on common sized suburban lots. This District is intended as an area for development of single family detached, small lot single family detached residential, and mobile homes with a density range of 2.1 – 5 dwelling units per acre and a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet with one dwelling per lot.
The target density is 3.5 dwelling units per acre. Cluster development is encouraged in order to protect the environment and VRS-1 lot sizes may be reduced to 5,000 square feet when included in a Master Plan Overlay area; however the, the number of units cannot exceed the VRS-1 density.
The proposed project’s average lot size will be approximately 6,673 gross square feet with the minimum lot size 5,519 square feet and the maximum lot size 9, 545 square feet at a density of 2.8 du/ac, thus, conforming with the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan (Section 4.7 Descriptions of Land Use Districts) and the City’s General Plan designations and zoning (General Plan Policy LU-1.1h). No mitigation required. 549
9 1.b. The parcels that make up the proposed project are within the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, (MSHCP) according to the Riverside County Integrated Project parcel search. The project proponents completed the Habitat Evaluation and Acquisition Negotiation Strategy (HANS) Process and Joint Project Review (JPR) as required under the MSHCP. Compliance with the MSHCP is covered in Biological assessment in section 7, of this study.
Federal and State programs require selected industries and construction activities to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). A WQMP was completed for the proposed project by Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc. dated February 7, 2006.
In California, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) through the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB) administers the NPDES stormwater permitting program. The subject property is located in the San Diego Region and must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Construction Storm Water Permit, Water Quality Order 99-08-DWQ. The requirement is mandatory and the project will comply with standards for Best Management Practices, (BMP’s) which must be implemented to prevent/control potentially significant adverse water erosion and sedimentation impacts. Mitigation is covered under the Biological Section of this report.
1c. The project site is not replacing or displacing land currently used for agricultural purposes, nor will the proposed project be used for agricultural purposes. There will be no adverse impact to agricultural resources as a result of this development. No mitigation required.
1d. The project site is bordered on the North and East by existing and proposed multiple uses, single family, and rural residential units, on the West by Murrieta Creek, vacant land and estate and rural residential units, and to the south by rural residential uses and vacant land. Development will not disrupt or divide an established community. No mitigation required.
1e. The City’s General Plan, Development Code and Historic Murrieta Specific Plan establish land use policies for developments in Residential zones. The development of this project will be compatible with existing land uses in the area through implementation of design standards contained in the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan and Development Code and policies contained in the General Plan. No additional mitigation required.

2. PUBLIC SERVICES - Would the project
have an effect upon or result in a need for new or
altered governmental services in any of the
following area:
a) Fire protection? (6)
X
b) Police protection? (6)
X
c) Schools? (1, 20) X
d) Parks or recreational facilities? (6) X
e) Maintenance of public facilities, including
roads? (6) X
f) Other governmental services? (6) X
2a-f. Implementation of the project will create a demand for public services including police, fire, and emergency response services. The proposed project would result in 62 residential lots averaging approximately 6,673 square foot per lot. The development being proposed is in an area zoned for Single-Family Residential (VRS-1) uses and would create a demand for services at a level anticipated and predicted by the General Plan and the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan. The City of Murrieta’s Development Impact Fees are designated to offset capital expenditures for police, fire, park and recreation, and public facilities. Property taxes and other assessments provide funding for maintenance and operational costs for these services. Recreational facilities are covered in section 10 of this study. Payment of Development Fees and assessments are mandatory. No mitigation is required.
2a. The project area is serviced by Murrieta Fire Station # 1 located to the north of the proposed project on Juniper Street. According to the City’s General Plan the Fire Department shall ensure all property in the City and successive uses of individual buildings comply with the latest edition of the Uniform Fire Code, (UFC), California Fire Code, (CFC), and other applicable building and fire standards. This is a mandatory requirement as part of the City’s Development Code, no mitigation required.
2b. According to the City’s General Plan in cooperation with the Police Department, all new development will incorporate safe building/site designs, such as visible walkways and proper lighting. This is a mandatory requirement as part of the City’s Development Code, no mitigation required
2c. The project is located within the Murrieta Unified School District. The development of this project will impact the School District by increasing to the number of students and demand on school facilities. Mitigation fees will be provided by the future development as currently required by State Law and residential school fees and taxes are a mandatory requirement. No additional mitigation is required. 551
11 2d. Development Code, Residential Development Mitigation states: The purpose of this section is to provide for the payment of fees for the construction and acquisition of public facilities, purchase of regional parkland and trails and the preservation of habitat and open space to defray the actual or estimated cost of financing and/or acquiring these facilities. The funds collected under the residential development mitigation fee do not reflect the entire cost of providing the facilities required in order to effectively meet the needs created by new residential development. Additional revenues will be required from other sources. The council finds that the benefit to each residential unit is greater than the amount of the fee to be paid by that residential unit. Recreational facilities are covered in section 10 of this study.
2e-f. The City of Murrieta’s Development Impact Fees are designated to offset capital expenditures for police, fire, park and recreation, and public facilities. Property taxes and other assessments provide funding for maintenance and operational costs for these services.

3. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS -
Would the project result in a need for new
systems, or substantial alterations to the
following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? (6, 55)
X
b) Communication systems? (6)
X
c) Sewer or septic tanks? (25) X
d) Solid waste and disposal? (26) X
e) Local or regional water treatment or
distribution facilities? (25) X
f) Storm water drainage? (44,56,57) X
3a. The project will generate a demand for utility and service systems for energy, communications, water, wastewater, drainage, and solid waste. The City of Murrieta’s General Plan identified adequate capacity for energy and communication systems.
Subsequent to the adoption of the General Plan, electricity and natural gas utilities have been deregulated and short-term deficiencies in the supply of electricity and natural gas were experienced in 2000 and 2001. Since 2001, the states electricity situation has stabilized and the state has added over 9,500 megawatts of electricity capacity to the system. The state currently consumes approximately 253.5 million megawatt hours of electricity, and 7 billion cubic feet of natural gas each year at a predicted growth rate of
2.4 percent per year. The California Energy Commission in the 2003 Integrated Energy Policy Report indicated that California should have adequate supplies of electricity through 2007 and meet the natural gas needs of Southern California through 2013 under average annual conditions. The 2005 Integrated Energy Policy Report indicates in the electrical power supply and demand section that several approved power generating facilities have not started construction, maintaining adequate electricity reserves will be difficult over the next few years, however the state now requires investor-owned utilities to maintain a year-round 15 – 17 percent reserve margin. The IEP estimates are based on increases in population and demand and indicate that shortfall will be in reserves. The report further indicates that conservation measures have been producing better results than anticipated in the 2003 IEP. Since the proposed project is in conformity with the General Plan and anticipated growth the project is deemed to have a “less than significant impact” on power resources.
The City of Murrieta has adopted building codes that require implementation of energy conservation measures for new development. Implementation of design and construction standards is considered adequate compliance with energy conservation goals and policies.
No mitigation required.
553
13 3b. Communication systems are provided by Verizon Communications with adequate capacity to meet the anticipated demand for this project as well as the ultimate build-out in the City. No mitigation is required.
3.c&e Western Municipal Water District will provide facilities for both sewer and water service.
WMWD charges development connection fees to provide for current and future infrastructure to support proposed projects.
Metropolitan Water District (MWD) on July 13, 2004 approved the Updated Integrated Water Resource Plan, which indicated that the District is confident of its ability to meet the water demands of its customers through 2025.” With the exception of mandatory fees and installation of onsite infrastructure, no mitigation is required.
3d. Solid waste capacity has been increased under Riverside County to provide adequate disposal capacity for the increasing demand over the planning outlook. Waste from the area is transported to the 495 – acre El Sobrante Landfill in Temescal Canyon located south of Corona. The El Sobrante Landfill is owned and operated by USA Waste of California, a subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc. The El Sobrante Facility is permitted to accept as much as 10,000 tons of waste per day, and is currently accepting an average of 8,000 tons per day during weekdays. At the current rate of disposal the El Sobrante facility has a life expectancy estimated at 36 years.
It is estimated that approximately 75 percent of all trash can be used to produce various forms of energy. USA Waste of California is in the process of building a 2.5-megawatt electrical generating plant that will utilize methane gas generated from the decomposition process in the landfill. Excess power not used in the operation of the facility will be distributed back to the grid for use by Southern California Edison.
Combined with the City’s mandatory source reduction and recycling program, the proposed project is not forecast to cause an adverse impact on the solid waste and disposal system. No Mitigation Required.
3e. Western Municipal Water District, (WMWD) will provide facilities for water service for the proposed project. WMWD charges development connection fees to provide for current and future infrastructure to support proposed projects.
WMWD water comes from a variety of natural sources including precipitation, surface stream flows and regional groundwater (aquifers). WMWD also purchases water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which imports water from Northern California and the Colorado River. Water delivered to homes and businesses is a blend of well water (40 percent) and import water (60 percent). Metropolitan Water Districts (MWD) on July 13, 2004 approved the Updated Integrated Water Resource Plan which indicated improved reliability of imported water supplies due to implementation of the Integrated Resources Plan and the Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan should provide 100% full service imported water supply reliability through 2025.
554
14 The project is exempt from SB 221 Verification of Sufficient Water Supply and SB 610 Water Supply Assessment due to the project size being less than the required 500 units.
3f. The City’s General Plan includes policies to minimize surface runoff and ensure that no significant effects occur to the storm runoff drainage system. A Project Specific Drainage Study dated February 07, 2006 and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) dated February 7, 2006 were prepared by Hunsaker & Associates.
The Drainage Study indicates that runoff from the proposed project will be handled from the eastern portion of the (approximately 1.3 acres) drains to a grassy swale adjacent to New Clay Avenue. Runoff from the central portion of the proposed site (approximately
11.5 acres) is conveyed via two proposed storm drain systems, discharging to a proposed water quality basin located on the southwest corner of the proposed project site. Impacts will additionally be minimized at a single point discharge from the water quality basin to Murrieta Creek with the use of energy dissipation rip rap.
The drainage study concludes that all runoff from the pre-developed site drains to Murrieta Creek and development of the proposed Ivy House project will not divert area to or from Murrieta Creek.

4.a. The WRCOG anticipates the growth rate in Western Riverside County will increase 18% for population and 12% for employment by the year 2020. The most recent City projections indicate that the maximum population potential for the City is 108,000 persons. The current 2006 population of Murrieta is approximately 93,000 as reported by the California State Department of Finance with a current rate of increase from 2000 of 110%. The proposed project would divide 22.2-acres into 64 lots on property zoned and designated for Village Residential S-1 (VRS-1), with a density of approximately 2.8 dwelling units per acre which conforms to the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan and City’s General Plan. The anticipated population generated from the project and the cumulative build out projections for population should not exceed the current regional or local forecasts. No mitigation required.
4.b. The project is located in a primarily residential area with additional proposed residential development planned or in progress. Development and zoning surrounding the site also includes existing single-family, multiple use, estate and rural residential development.
Existing developments are to the north and to the east of the project site. To the west of the site are Murrieta Creek, estate and rural residential and vacant land, to the south is rural residential and vacant land. Infrastructure to this project is available or planned to be extended to the project area within existing roadways. Area improvements have been identified within the City of Murrieta’s General Plan and do not induce substantial growth in the area as development is planned for the area consistent with the General Plan. No mitigation required.
4.c. The proposed project is planned on property that is primarily vacant and is displacing one existing single-family residence with barn and outbuildings. The existing zoning will not have an adverse affect on affordable housing. No mitigation required.

6.a The proposed project will develop unimproved lands and includes asphalt streets, concrete driveways and walkways, which will result in changes in absorption rates and the rate and amount of surface runoff from the project site. The addition of structures, pavement and asphalt will result in a decrease of the surface permeability. The project is proposing 62 residential units with an average 6,673 square foot per lot, which is below the minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet allowed under the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan and General Plan designation and zoning with Master Plan Overlay, as such the decrease in permeability is less than anticipated in the General Plan. Additionally, development of the project must conform to the City’s Development Code and a portion of Development Fees is designated for stormwater management systems. The measures will bring the impact to a less than significant level. No additional mitigation required.
6b. According to FEMA and the General Plan Flood Zone Maps a portion of the proposed project site and the property is located inside the 100 and 500-year flood hazard zones.
Final pad elevations according the project specific Drainage Plan will be above the 100- year flood zone. The project is outside of the inundation channels for Lake Skinner and Diamond Valley Lakes.
559
19 6c. The project has the potential for discharges of various urban and storm generated pollutants into the storm drain system. These pollutants include motor oil, antifreeze, fuels, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, trash, detergents, and waste typically generated by similar industrial projects. The City and County have adopted Best Management Practices, (BMP’s) which are designed to control and prevent discharges of pollutants that could cause significant adverse impacts to the surface water quality. The document “Supplement A” to Riverside County Drainage Area Management Plans, and Attachment to “Supplement A” define BMP’s that should be applied to the project which will ensure that significant erosion and sedimentation, nor other water quality degrading impacts will occur from the development of the proposed project. The project will be required to obtain a State General Permit for construction activity by coordinating between the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, (SARWQCB) and provide a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan prior to commencing grading operations. A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) was completed by Hunsaker & Associates, dated February 7, 2006 and contains recommendations for BMP’s and site drainage. Conditions of the General Stormwater permit are contained in Section 1 of this study. This is a mandatory requirement.
6d. Surface runoff from the site will be increased from the site as a result of the decreased permeability. This increase will be reduced before leaving the project site to a level that does not cause significant increases in downstream runoff using acceptable control measures. A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) was completed by Hunsaker & Associates, dated February 7, 2006 and contains recommendations for BMP’s and site drainage. Control measures or BMP’s are outlined in the sources described in item 6.c. &
6.d. No additional mitigation required.
6e. The project site is border to the west by Murrieta Creek. Changes in drainage will occur but have been addressed in the project Drainage Study and Water Quality Management Plans prepared by Hunsaker & Associates, dated February 7, 2006. No mitigation required.
6f-g. Impacts to ground water can be mitigated to a level of less than significant by implementing Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and the installation of a retention basin. No ground water was encounter during geotechnical investigations. No activities in constructing or operating the project are predicted to cause any direct adverse impact to groundwater with the exception of accidental releases of pollutants during construction which is addressed in Section 13, “Hazardous” mitigation measure HAZ-1 of this document. Implementation of the SWPPP and surface water quality control measures outlined in item 6c above will ensure that the project does not contribute to indirect significant impacts to groundwater quality. No additional mitigation is required.

A Consistency Analysis for the Western Riverside MSHCP, was prepared by Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. dated October 2005 revised on July 17, 2006. The report concluded that: “… the proposed Project site exists within SWAP Subunit 1 of the MSHCP in independent Cell 6314 requiring conservation focusing on Murrieta Creek and adjacent grassland habitat contributing to the assembly of Proposed Constrained Linkage 13. In compliance with the Subunit and Cell conservation requirements and the riparian/riverine definition in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP, the proposed Project will avoid the majority (+/- 97.5%) of Murrieta Creek and adjacent 100-foot buffer along the southwestern boundary of the site, thereby providing a potential wildlife movement corridor pursuant to MSHCP Section 7.5.2.
561
21 The Consistency Analysis concludes that based on the analysis “pursuant to MSHCP guidelines and the DBESP, the proposed Project is in compliance on payment of the MSHCP and SKR HCP mitigation fees.”

As required by the MSHCP for these parcels a Habitat Assessment for Burrowing Owl (BUOW), Phase I and Phase II were conducted by PCR Services Corporation, dated March 21, 2005. According to the Assessment no burrowing owls or burrows were identified on the project site and concluded that the Study Area is not expected to support burrowing owl.
An additional Habitat Assessment and Focused Survey for Burrowing Owl was conducted on the proposed Project site by Pacific BioScience, Inc dated June 2006 and although no burrowing owl (BUOW) or BUOW sign were observed on the proposed project site, the site contains suitable habitat for the BUOW and a 30-day BUOW clearance survey is recommended as mitigation.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 2)
A burrowing owl (BUOW) clearance survey shall be conducted 30-days prior to initiation of ground-disturbing activities of the site. If the clearance survey is positive, additional actions/mitigation may be required pursuant to the MSHCP, Fish and Game Code, and the MBTA.
In accordance to the MSHCP Consistency Analysis and in compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and nesting bird surveys will be conducted three days prior to commencing Project activities.
562
22 • Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 3)
For all bird species vegetation removal should be conducted outside the avian breeding season (March-July) to avoid impacts to nesting birds. If vegetation clearance is conducted during the breeding season, a pre-construction bird survey would be required less than 3-days form vegetation disturbance activities. If passerine birds are found to be nesting or there is evidence of nesting behavior inside or within 300 feet of the impact area, a 300-foot buffer will be required around the nest where no vegetation disturbance would be permitted; for raptors the buffer would be increased to 500 feet. A qualified biologist would closely monitor the nest until it is determined that the nest is no longer active, at which time vegetation removal could continue.
The proposed project site is located inside the Stephens’ Kangaroo (SKR) HCP fee area boundary. Potential impacts to the SKR will be mitigated through the payment of a fee.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 4)
Payment of the SKR mitigation fee to the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCA) is required.
7c. The proposed project site is bounded to the west/southwest by Murrieta Creek. According to the Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP) report prepared by Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. dated July 17, 2006 “ the MSHCP requires avoidance of all Riparian/Riverine areas and Vernal Pools in areas within Criteria Cells described for conservation, which is applicable to the entire on -site portion of Murrieta Creek. However, the Project is required to construct interim flood control and water quality structures in compliance with the City of Murrieta General Plan Safety Element. An interim flood control channel to direct off -site flows is required prior to the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Master Planned improvements to Murrieta Creek, and a water quality basis is required pursuant to the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements. Impacts for construction of flood control facilities in Murrieta Creek are considered covered activities pursuant to MSHCP Section 7.3.7.”
7d. The project site is located in an area currently experiencing residential development and disturbances and is located in a wildlife corridor. Development however of this site will not interfere with wildlife dispersal and migration corridors according to the DBESP report prepared by Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. dated July 17, 2006. The DBESP report states that the proposed conservation associated with the Project is considered in compliance with the MSHCP Reserve Assembly objectives by providing indirect connections to MSHCP Criteria Cells to the east and northwest, contributing to the assembly of Proposed Constrained Linkage 13.

A Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment was conducted for the proposed project site and surround area by Michael Brandman Associates the results of which are contained in a report dated 29 March 2006. The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment indicates that two previous archaeological surveys have been conducted on portions of the project site in the past. In 1992 the floodplain of Murrieta Creek and a buffer around the floodplain was surveyed by Jones & Stokes Associates. In 2003 a linear survey along a portion of the southern boundary was conducted by Peak & Associates. No cultural sites were recorded within the proposed project site during either of these previous surveys.
Additionally, 15 other surveys have been conducted within a .05 mile radius of the proposed project site. These surveys recorded forty-five cultural resources. Table 1 of the Phase I Cultural Resource Assessment provides information on these sites and general location.
9a. The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment indicates that the historic ranch complex located on the northwest corner of the proposed site has been determined to be ineligible for the California Register and is therefore not considered a historical resource for purposed of CEQA. The assessment however, indicates that there is a “moderate” probability that significant historic resources will be unearthed during development within the project area and a mitigation monitoring program is recommended per the Cultural Mitigation Measures in this section.
9b. The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment indicates that no prehistoric sites or prehistoric artifacts were identified during the survey for the proposed project site. The site has been determined to have a “moderate sensitivity” for cultural resources and archaeological monitoring must take place during construction. A mitigation monitoring program is recommended per the Cultural Mitigation Measures in this section.
565
25 9c. A records search was conducted on the proposed site by Dr. Eric Scott, Curator of Paleontology, Division of Geological Sciences, San Bernardino County Museum and indicates in a letter dated 8 February 2006 that results of the literature review and check of the Regional Paleontologic Locality Inventory (RPLI) demonstrate that excavation within the boundaries of proposed project site has a high potential to impact significant nonrenewable fossil resources. A mitigation monitoring program is recommended per the Cultural Mitigation Measures in this section.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 1)
There is “moderate” probability that significant historic resources will be unearthed during development within the project area. An archaeological mitigation monitoring program shall be implemented within the project boundaries. Full-time monitoring shall continue until the Project archaeologist determines that the overall sensitivity of the Project Site has been reduced from moderate to low as a result of mitigation monitoring. Should the monitor determine that there are no cultural resources within the impacted areas, or should the sensitivity be reduced to low during the monitoring, all monitoring shall cease.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 2)
Should any cultural resources be discovered, the monitor is authorized to stop all grading in the immediate area of the discovery, and shall make recommendations to the Lead Agency (City) on the measures that shall be implemented to protect the discovered resources, including but not limited to excavation of the finds and evaluation of the finds in accordance with section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
It the resources are determined to be unique historic resources as defined under section 15064.5 pf the CEQA Guidelines, mitigation measures shall be identified by the monitor and recommended to the Lead Agency (City).
Appropriate mitigation measures for significant resources could include avoidance or capping, incorporation of the site in green space, parks, or open space, or data recovery excavations of the finds. No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Lead Agency (City) approves the measures to protect these resources. Any archaeological artifacts recovered as a result of mitigation shall be donated to a qualified scientific institution approved by the Lead Agency (City) where they would be afforded long-term preservation to allow future scientific study.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 3)
Monitoring of excavation in areas identified as likely to contain paleontologic resources by a qualified paleontologic monitor is required. Based upon results of the Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment, dated 29 March 2006, areas of concern within the boundaries of this project include the sandstone components of the Pauba Formation. Monitoring is not necessary unless potentially fossiliferous units are encountered in the subsurface during excavation activities and upon examination by qualified paleontologic personnel are subsequently determined to potentially 566
26 contain fossil resources.
If required, paleontological monitors should be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates.
Monitors must be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Monitoring may be reduced if potentially- fossiliferous units as described herein are not present, or if present are determined upon exposure and examination by qualified paleontologic personnel to have a low potential to contain fossil resources.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 4)
Recovered specimens must be prepared to a point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments, so as to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 5)
Significant paleontologic specimens are to be identified and curated into an established, accredited museum repository with permanent retrievable storage (e.g., SBCM). The paleontologist must have a written repository agreement in hand prior to initiation of mitigation activities.
Mitigation of adverse impacts to significant paleontologic resources is not complete until such curation into an established museum repository has been fully completed and documented.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 6)
A report of findings must be prepared with an appended itemized inventory of all recovered specimens. The report and inventory, when submitted to the appropriate Lead Agency along with confirmation of the curation of recovered specimens into an established accredited museum repository, will signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to paleontological resources.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 7)
A report documenting the monitoring activities shall be submitted to the City of Murrieta within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources. The artifacts shall be deposited into an accredited institution that is authorized to accept the cultural resources.
567
27 9d. Disruption of human remains is not anticipated; however the following mitigation measures shall be adhered to:
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 8)
Once the project-related earthmoving excavation begins, and in the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, the following steps shall be taken:
1) There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the Riverside County Coroner is contacted to determine if the remains are (either historic or) prehistoric and that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American, then the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24-hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the deceased North American. The most likely descendent may make recommendations to the landowner or the person of responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 or
2) Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his authorized representative shall re-bury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriated dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the most likely descendent or on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
- The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely descendent failed to make a recommendation within 24-hours after being notified by the commission.
- The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation: or
- The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
9e. No apparent existing religious or sacred uses within the subject property’s boundaries currently exist. No additional mitigation is required beyond the measures identified in this section.

10a. The proposed project being a residential development will create a demand for neighborhood, regional parks and other recreational facilities. The City requires the payment of Development Impact Fee’s, which includes a park fee used to offset demands on the park system by developments. This fee is mandatory and no adverse impact to recreational facilities and opportunities is anticipated.
Development Code, Section 16.36.040 Residential Development Mitigation states: The purpose of this section is to provide for the payment of fees for the construction and acquisition of public facilities, purchase of regional parkland and trails and the preservation of habitat and open space to defray the actual or estimated cost of financing and/or acquiring these facilities. The funds collected under the residential development mitigation fee do not reflect the entire cost of providing the facilities required in order to effectively meet the needs created by new residential development. Additional revenues will be required from other sources. The council finds that the benefit to each residential unit is greater than the amount of the fee to be paid by that residential unit.
No additional mitigation required.
10.b. No existing recreational resources or opportunities occur on the project site; therefore, no potential for adverse impacts to existing resources on the project site will occur. No mitigation required.

11b. The project will comply with the applicable requirements for Residential Design Standards (Section 16.08.030) and Landscaping Standards (Section 16.28) as contained in the Development Code as well as Design Standards contained in the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan. The requirements of the Development Code and the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan will ensure quality architectural design, site design, and landscaping standards are accomplished. Implementation of Design Standards will reduce impacts to aesthetics below a significant level. No additional mitigation is required.
11c. Lighting standards are established in the Development Code, (Sections 16.18.100 and
16.18.110) which requires that the project controls light and glare on adjacent properties and minimize impacts to the Mount Palomar Observatory. Additionally, the project will be required to reduce lighting impacts on Murrieta Creek.
• Aesthetics Mitigation Measure (A 1)
In accordance with BMP’s for the MSHCP and as recommended in the DBESP report lighting within the Project development will be limited to residential streets and consist of downward directed and shielded low-pressure sodium lights to ensure ambient lighting in the adjacent Murrieta Creek in not increased.

13a. During construction there is a potential for accidental release of petroleum products in sufficient quantity to pose a significant hazard to people and the environment. The following mitigation measure shall be incorporated into the SWPPP prepared for the project and will reduce the hazard to a less than significant level.
• Hazards Mitigation Measure (H 1)
All spills or leakage of petroleum products during construction activities shall be remediated in compliance with applicable state and local regulation regarding cleanup and disposal of the contaminated release. The contaminated waste shall be collected and disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal or treatment facility.
Following construction a limited potential exists from residential usage of petroleum products, pesticides, and consumer products. Riverside County operates several Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil and Paint (ABOP) collection facilities including one located in the City of Murrieta for household hazardous waste disposal. Residents within the city are routinely notified of the ABOP facility’s operations, which limits the potential residential release of these materials. The measures addressed in Section 6 - Waters, of this study reduce the hazards to a less than significant level.
13b. The project will include access points off improved roadways and include site access sufficient for fire apparatus turn radius. The proposed project presents no significant potential to cause interference with any emergency response or evacuation plan. No mitigation required.
13c. The project being residential in nature does not create health hazards or potential health hazard at a significant level. No mitigation required.
13d. The project area was predominately used for rural residential uses. According to a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted by Harrington Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. 572
32 dated November 22, 2004, the site previously contained a gasoline underground storage tank (UST). The tank was documented as removed on June 9, 2004, however the report indicates that records of the removal are incomplete and no records could be located by Riverside County Department of Environmental Health on the status of the UST removal.
As such the Phase I recommended soil boring and confirmation sampling in the former UST excavation site be completed
• Hazards Mitigation Measure (H 2)
Conduct soil boring and confirmation sampling in the former UST excavation site and coordinate UST closure reporting with Riverside County Department of Environmental Health and the San Diego County Regional Water Quality Control Board.

(1,3,6) X
14.a. The proposed development will generate noise during construction and following occupancy of the site. Construction noise is required to be controlled in accordance with the City’s Development Code, which restricts construction activities to daylight hours.
The ongoing noise levels associated with residential use are considered acceptable and insignificant for the project area in accordance with the General Plan Noise Element policies. No other sensitive uses occur in the project area and no background noise conditions will conflict with the project. Mitigation measures are included under Section
14. b.
14.b. According to Figure VII-3 of the General Plan, the project is not located within area that is impacted by vehicular noise between 60 and 65 CNEL. The project is in a Land Use Category for Residential Use and according to the City’s General Plan Noise Element, normally acceptable levels of noise are 65 to 70 CNEL.

The proposed project will create emissions associated with the construction and operation of the project and vehicle trips associated with the movement of materials, products, customers, and employees. The proposed project is located within the South Coast Air Basin, (SCAB) under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, (SCAQMD) for air quality issues, regulations, and enforcement. The SCAQMD published in 1997 the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) that identifies threshold values for emissions. The 2003 AQMP has been adopted without change to the threshold values. The SCAQMD also published the CEQA Air Quality Handbook, as an advisory tool to assist local governments, project proponents, and consultants who prepare environmental documents with guidance for analyzing and mitigating air quality impacts of projects.
576
36 This project has the potential to produce both short and long term air quality impacts.
Short-term impacts are associated with the construction of the project, while long-term impacts are associated with emissions from the operation of the project. The SCAQMD’s thresholds of significance values for construction and operation are expressed in pounds per day, (lbs/day) and provided in Table A-2)
Air Quality Significance Thresholds Table A-2
Mass Daily Thresholds
Pollutant Construction Operation
NOx 100 lbs/day 55 lbs/day
ROG* 75 lbs/day 55 lbs/day
PM10 150 lbs/day 150 lbs/day
Sox 150 lbs/day 150 lbs/day
CO 550 lbs/day 550 lbs/day
* ROG may also be referred to as VOC or ROC.
The emissions estimates represent a “worst-case,” because they incorporate the assumption that construction activities at each location occur at the peak daily levels throughout the construction period. It is unlikely that the peak daily levels would actually occur at all locations where construction is taking place at the same time. Data utilized to forecast emissions was obtained from available project data, development plans, and resource material where indicated. The URBEMIS 2002 for Windows, 8.7, program was used to forecast emission based on the project data, resource material, or default values where no data was available.
Construction emissions can be distinguished as either onsite or offsite. Onsite emissions generated during construction principally consist of exhaust emissions (CO, ROG, NOX, SOX, and PM10) from construction equipment, fugitive dust (PM10) from grading and excavation, and ROG emissions from asphalt paving and architectural painting. Offsite emissions during construction typically consist of exhaust emissions from truck traffic and worker commute trips; road dust associated with traffic to and from the construction site; and fugitive dust (PM10) from trucks hauling materials, construction debris, or excavated soils from the site.

Architectural coatings estimates were based on URBEMIS defaults were applicable over a period of 4 months with mitigation for using Low VOC coatings. No mitigation values were calculated for the project however a 50% reduction for ROG (VOC) can be achieved by taking the default URBEMIS value of 250 grams/liter of VOC and evaluating the use of Low VOC coatings which according to manufacturer and AQMD data are 100 g/l for interior and 150 g/l for exterior. Additional decreases in ROG (VOC) can be obtained by using High Velocity Low Pressure Applicators (HVLP), and NO VOC coatings, which contain <1g/l VOC. The values using the Low VOC coatings represent approximately 50% reduction whereas using a combination of Low and No VOC coatings can produce reductions of 60%, 40 %, and >90%. The majority of architectural coatings will be applied as interior paints which would offer the best reduction using Low VOC and No VOC paints. Using HVLP equipment it is estimated would also reduce the VOC emissions 10 – 15%.

Data contained herein was obtained from default values for similar projects using the URBEMIS program and includes the calculated values for Area and Operational Emissions. The Operations Emissions table includes emissions from the day-to-day residential operation and maintenance, consumer product use and from vehicle trips associated with the movement of materials, products, residents, and visitors. Area Source emissions include consumer products, natural gas use, and landscaping equipment.
Emissions associated with the construction and operational portions of the project are below SCAQMD thresholds with mitigation and are considered less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
CEQA requires that impacts be reduced to the greatest extent feasible, therefore the following additional mitigation measures shall be implemented:
• Air Quality Mitigation Measure (AQ-17)
The City shall require that sidewalks and/or pedestrian paths be provided within the development.
• Air Quality Mitigation Measure (AQ-18)
The City shall require that pedestrian safety measures such as street lighting and pedestrian signage and signals be provided.
• Air Quality Mitigation Measure (AQ-19)
The City shall require that off-site intersection traffic signals be synchronized to prevent congestion of traffic flow in the area of the project.
15 b) Sensitive receptors include the very young, elderly, and persons suffering from illness are normally associated with locations such as schools, day-car facilities, convalescent care facilities, medical facilities, and residential areas. Evaluations according to SCAQMD recommendations need to be conducted to ensure that sensitive receptors will not be exposed to localized concentrations of the criteria pollutant carbon monoxide (CO). High levels of CO are associated with traffic congestion in particular slow moving and idling vehicles. Depending on the existing background concentrations of CO, roadways have the potential to be CO hot spots. Therefore projects with sensitive receptors or projects that could negatively impact levels of service (LOS) should utilize the Emfac 2.2 and CALINE 4 programs to evaluate the effects of vehicle emissions to determine if the project will cause the state 1-hour or 8-hour CO standards to be 582
42 exceeded, creating a “CO hotspot.” Since the project does not negatively impact the LOS of local intersections. Local CO Hotspot analysis was not performed.
15 c) The climate of Southern California found in the Murrieta Valley is a combination of a Mediterranean-type climate characterized by long hot summer and moderate winter precipitation with a Maritime Influence giving a marine layer and a temperature inversion layer. The average temperature in the project area is 73 degrees Fahrenheit, with an average rainfall of 10.44 inches. The construction project proposed is too small to have a potential effect on climatic changes. No mitigation required.
15 d) During construction and operation the proposed project will contain operations that will produce odors associated with equipment and materials. The site is located within the vicinity of sensitive receptors in the surrounding residential areas; however, the odors associated with this type project are normally not considered so offensive as to cause sensitive receptors to complain. Diesel fuel odors from construction equipment, operation equipment, and new asphalt paving fall into this category. No significant odor impacts are forecast to result from implementing the proposed project.

X
c) Does the project have impacts, which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.)

The project is a residential development consisting of 22.2 acres of land into approximately 62 Single-Family Residential lots with a average lot size of approximately 6,673 gross square feet with the minimum lot size 5,519 square feet and the maximum lot size 9,545 square feet. The proposed site additionally includes a 2,839 square foot lot for storm water drain purposes.
The conclusion of the Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP) prepared by Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. dated July 17, 2006 states:
The Project site contains +/- 3.40 acres of Riparian/Riverine habitat as defined by MSHCP Section 6.1.2. In compliance with the City of Murrieta General Plan Safety Element, the Project is required to construct an interim channel to convey off-site flows to Murrieta Creek and prevent site flooding prior to RCFCWCD Master Drainage Plan improvements, and to provide a water quality basin designed to meet the requirements of the RWQCB. The required interim flood control channel and water quality basin outlets to Murrieta Creek will require impacts to the banks that have been minimized through project design features, including selecting the design with the least acreage of impacts and locating the structures in unvegetated or low-quality Riparian/Riverine habitat.
Proposed impacts total approximately 0.086 acre of Riparian/Riverine Area associated with Murrieta Creek, including +/- 0.035 acre of temporary and only +/- 0.051 acre of permanent impacts. The majority of impacts (+/- 0.074-acre of the +/- 0.086-acre) is associated with the flood control structure outlet to Murrieta Creek and is therefore considered a covered activity pursuant to MSHCP Section 7.3.7. Proposed conservation will include the avoidance of approximately 97.5% of on-site Riparian/Riverine habitat (+/- 3.314 acres), a minimum 100-foot buffer between the Creek and development (+/-
2.7 acres of existing grassland habitat), in addition to restoration of all temporary 584
44 impacts by revegetating with native plants consistent with local habitat. This conservation complies with MSHCP Reserve Assembly objectives by maintaining habitat connectivity and potential habitat for planning species, linkage contribution, and the proposed inclusion of +/- 3.75% of the 10%-20% conservation targeted by the MSHCP despite the Project occupying only 14% of the entire Cell. Furthermore, no individuals of Riparian/Riverine or Vernal Pool planning species and no suitable fairyshrimp habitat were observed on-site. Suitable habitat exists on-site for only two Riparian/Riverine planning species, the southwestern willow flycatcher and least Bell’s vireo. This habitat will be avoided, and pre-construction surveys will also be conducted prior to any breeding season. Therefore no direct or indirect impacts to Riparian/Riverine and Vernal Pool planning species are expected with development of the proposed Project…
All “Potentially Significant” adverse environmental impacts have been identified that are not addressed by compliance with mandatory mitigation requirements that when applied will reduce impacts to a level of “Less than Significant”. The evaluation in this Initial Study indicates that the City can issue a Negative Declaration as the appropriate determination for this project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act.

FINDINGS.
Yes No
a) Does the project have the potential to cause any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on fish and wildlife? Wildlife is defined as "all wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat upon which the wildlife depends on for its continued viability" (Section 711.2, Fish and Game Code).
X
The parcel that makes up the proposed project is within the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, (MSHCP) according to the Riverside County Integrated Project parcel search. According to the Consistency Analysis for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan conducted by Vandermost Consulting Services, Inc. dated October 2005 and revised on July 17, 2006 indicates that the Project with recommended mitigation employed does not have a potential for adverse effects, individually or cumulatively, on fish or wildlife as a result of the proposed Project. The evaluation in this Initial Study indicates that the City can issue a Negative Declaration if mitigations described herein are implemented as the appropriate environmental determination for this project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act.

46 APPENDIX C
MITIGATION MEASURES:
• Traffic Mitigation Measure (T 1)
Construct half street improvements with appropriate transitions along New Clay Street and B Street to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
• Traffic Mitigation Measure (T 2)
Install stop signs at the project egress points and alley egress points as required by and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 1)
The project is required to pay the MSHCP mitigation fees.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 2)
A burrowing owl (BUOW) clearance survey shall be conducted 30-days prior to initiation of ground-disturbing activities of the site. If the clearance survey is positive, additional actions/mitigation may be required pursuant to the MSHCP, Fish and Game Code, and the MBTA.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 3)
For all bird species vegetation removal should be conducted outside the avian breeding season (March-July) to avoid impacts to nesting birds. If vegetation clearance is conducted during the breeding season, a pre-construction bird survey would be required less than 3-days form vegetation disturbance activities. If passerine birds are found to be nesting or there is evidence of nesting behavior inside or within 300 feet of the impact area, a 300-foot buffer will be required around the nest where no vegetation disturbance would be permitted; for raptors the buffer would be increased to 500 feet. A qualified biologist would closely monitor the nest until it is determined that the nest is no longer active, at which time vegetation removal could continue.
• Biological Resources Mitigation Measure (B 4)
Payment of the SKR mitigation fee to the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCA) is required.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 1)
There is “moderate” probability that significant historic resources will be unearthed during development within the project area. An archaeological mitigation monitoring program shall be implemented within the project boundaries. Full-time monitoring shall continue until the Project archaeologist determines that the overall sensitivity of the Project Site has been reduced from moderate to low as a result of mitigation monitoring. Should the monitor determine that there are no cultural resources within the impacted areas, or should the sensitivity be reduced to low during the monitoring, all monitoring shall cease.
587
47 • Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 2)
Should any cultural resources be discovered, the monitor is authorized to stop all grading in the immediate area of the discovery, and shall make recommendations to the Lead Agency (City) on the measures that shall be implemented to protect the discovered resources, including but not limited to excavation of the finds and evaluation of the finds in accordance with section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
It the resources are determined to be unique historic resources as defined under section 15064.5 pf the CEQA Guidelines, mitigation measures shall be identified by the monitor and recommended to the Lead Agency (City).
Appropriate mitigation measures for significant resources could include avoidance or capping, incorporation of the site in green space, parks, or open space, or data recovery excavations of the finds. No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Lead Agency (City) approves the measures to protect these resources. Any archaeological artifacts recovered as a result of mitigation shall be donated to a qualified scientific institution approved by the Lead Agency (City) where they would be afforded long-term preservation to allow future scientific study.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 3)
Monitoring of excavation in areas identified as likely to contain paleontologic resources by a qualified paleontologic monitor is required. Based upon results of the Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment, dated 29 March 2006, areas of concern within the boundaries of this project include the sandstone components of the Pauba Formation. Monitoring is not necessary unless potentially fossiliferous units are encountered in the subsurface during excavation activities and upon examination by qualified paleontologic personnel are subsequently determined to potentially contain fossil resources.
If required, paleontological monitors should be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates.
Monitors must be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Monitoring may be reduced if potentially- fossiliferous units as described herein are not present, or if present are determined upon exposure and examination by qualified paleontologic personnel to have a low potential to contain fossil resources.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 4)
Recovered specimens must be prepared to a point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments, so as to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates.
588
48 • Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 5)
Significant paleontologic specimens are to be identified and curated into an established, accredited museum repository with permanent retrievable storage (e.g., SBCM). The paleontologist must have a written repository agreement in hand prior to initiation of mitigation activities.
Mitigation of adverse impacts to significant paleontologic resources is not complete until such curation into an established museum repository has been fully completed and documented.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 6)
A report of findings must be prepared with an appended itemized inventory of all recovered specimens. The report and inventory, when submitted to the appropriate Lead Agency along with confirmation of the curation of recovered specimens into an established accredited museum repository, will signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to paleontological resources.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 7)
A report documenting the monitoring activities shall be submitted to the City of Murrieta within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources. The artifacts shall be deposited into an accredited institution that is authorized to accept the cultural resources.
• Cultural Mitigation Measure (C 8)
Once the project-related earthmoving excavation begins, and in the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, the following steps shall be taken:
1) There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the Riverside County Coroner is contacted to determine if the remains are (either historic or) prehistoric and that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American, then the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24-hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the deceased North American. The most likely descendent may make recommendations to the landowner or the person of responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 or
2) Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his authorized representative shall re-bury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriated dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the most likely descendent or on the property in a location not 589
49 subject to further subsurface disturbance:
- The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely descendent failed to make a recommendation within 24-hours after being notified by the commission.
- The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation: or
- The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
• Aesthetics Mitigation Measure (A 1)
In accordance with BMP’s for the MSHCP and as recommended in the DBESP report lighting within the Project development will be limited to residential streets and consist of downward directed and shielded low-pressure sodium lights to ensure ambient lighting in the adjacent Murrieta Creek in not increased.
• Hazards Mitigation Measure (H 1)
All spills or leakage of petroleum products during construction activities shall be remediated in compliance with applicable state and local regulation regarding cleanup and disposal of the contaminated release. The contaminated waste shall be collected and disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal or treatment facility.
• Hazards Mitigation Measure (H 2)
Conduct soil boring and confirmation sampling in the former UST excavation site and coordinate UST closure reporting with Riverside County Department of Environmental Health and the San Diego County Regional Water Quality Control Board.
• Noise Mitigation Measure (N-1)
During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is equipped with appropriate noise attenuation devices. (E.g. mufflers)
• Noise Mitigation Measure (N-2)
With the exception of emergency conditions, construction shall be limited to daylight hours or no later than 7 p.m.
• Noise Mitigation Measure (N-3)
If noise complaints demonstrate that a significant noise impact is affecting sensitive receptors due to construction activities (noise levels as measured at the receptor location at a level in excess of the City’s noise significance thresholds), the City shall require the construction contractor to apply appropriate measures to reduce the impacts of noise on the sensitive receptor to levels within the City’s significance thresholds.

PROJECT NUMBER: MDP-2021-2430 RP-2021-2429 TTM-2021-2428
STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NUMBER: #2007111059
PROJECT TITLE: Addendum No. 1 to the Ivy House Project 2008 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND)
PROJECT LOCATION: The Ivy House Project (MDP-006-1884/TTM-005-1824) encompassed approximately 22 acres of land located at the southeast corner of New Clay Steet and B Street (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers [APNs] 906-193-001, 906-200-001, 906-221- 001, 906-221-002, 906-200-002, and 906-212-001). The revised project encompasses the same site acreage and APNs.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In 2008, the Murietta City Council approved TTM 34439/ TTM 005-1824 and MDP 2006-1884 to subdivide 22 acres into 62 single family lots. The revised project proposes minor revisions to the currently approved entitlements that include the TTM, MDP, and CEQA documents, including the 2008 Final IS/MND. These minor revisions will also include updates to the Development Plan (Revised Permit). To meet updated WQMP standards and maintain the required 50-foot buffer from the Murietta Creek, the revised project proposes to include on-site stormwater retention. Each single-family lot is now proposed to contain a single-family home with an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The proposed lot sizes are consistent with the approved lot sizes, ranging from 5,500 sf to 9,000 sf).
The approved MDP includes three architectural floor plans ranging from 2,400 sf to 2,850 sf with detached two and three car garages that were accessible via project alleyways. As proposed, the revised project includes homes that range from 2,300 sf to 3,150 sf with attached two and three car garages. The garages are either accessed via the internal public streets or private alleyways depending on lot configuration. The proposed ADUs are 750 sf in size with single- and two-story options and will have matching architecture with the main house and adhere to setback standards as required under the Murietta Municipal Code (MMC) and state law. Architecture will be updated in the revised MDP to include new elevations consisting of Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and American Mercantile.
The revised MDP will also detail the use of ADUs in the Development Standard section. The approved project took access from New Clay Street and B Street and had several internal public streets and private alleyways. The single-family homes will take vehicular access either from the public street fronting each lot or private alleyway depending on the particular lot layout. The ADUs will take vehicular access from the private alleyways. Additional circulation system revisions include shifting the street alignment of the ingress/egress access off of New Clay Street to allow the project to maintain both efficient lot design and the required 50-foot buffer for Murrieta Creek. Further, due to updated hydrological analyses showing that the previously proposed temporary intercept channel is no longer required, the project has been revised to remove the temporary intercept channel located adjacent to B Street along with the outflow that entered into Murrieta Creek.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA guidelines 15162 and 15164, the City has determined that: (1) there is substantial evidence that none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or subsequent Negative Declaration/Mitigated Negative Declaration exist, and (2) the City will rely on the previous environmental document and an Addendum, which adequately addresses this project.
The proposed project would, or X would not introduce additional impacts or increase the severity of impacts beyond those already analyzed in the 2008 IS/MND.
PROJECT APPLICANT: Diversified Pacific Communities, 10621 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
This is to advise that the City of Murrieta [Body] on [date] approved the above described project and made the following determinations:
601
(1) No Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous IS/MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and,
(2) No Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous IS/MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or,
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous IS/MND was certified, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous IS/MND;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous IS/MND;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or,
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
It is hereby certified that the Ivy House Project 2008 IS/MND, including comments and responses, and Addendum #1 to the Ivy House Project 2008 IS/MND are available to the general public at the office of the Development Services Department, One Town Square, Murrieta, CA 92562.
