long as the selection is supported with substantial evidence, and the lead agency "should explain the limitations of the particular model or methodology selected for use." CEQA Guidelines § 15064.4(c).
Here, the IS/MND included both qualitative and quantitative analyses. However, the IS/MND does not rely on any quantitative analysis to determine compliance with any numerical thresholds and instead relies solely on consistency with the City's General Plan in making a determination that the Project's GHG impacts are less than significant without mitigation. IS/MND, pp. 43-47.
CEQA Guidelines sections 15064.4(b)(3) and 15183.5(b) allow a lead agency to consider a project's consistency with regulations or requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of GHG emissions.
CEQA Guidelines §§ 15064.4(b)(3) and 15183.5(b)(1) make clear qualified GHG reduction plans or CAP should include the following features:
(1) Inventory: Quantify GHG emissions, both existing and projected over a specified time period, resulting from activities (e.g., projects) within a defined geographic area (e.g., lead agency jurisdiction); (2) Establish GHG Reduction Goal: Establish a level, based on substantial evidence, below which the contribution to GHG emissions from activities covered by the plan would not be cumulatively considerable;
(3) Analyze Project Types: Identify and analyze the GHG emissions resulting from specific actions or categories of actions anticipated within the geographic area;
(4) Craft Performance Based Mitigation Measures: Specify measures or a group of measures, including performance
standards, that substantial evidence demonstrates, if implemented on a project -by -project basis, would collectively achieve the specified emissions level;
(5) Monitoring: Establish a mechanism to monitor the CAP progress toward achieving said level and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving specified levels;
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
Collectively, the above -listed features tie qualitative measures to quantitative results, which in turn become binding via proper monitoring and enforcement by the jurisdiction —all resulting in real GHG reductions for the jurisdiction as a whole, and the substantial evidence that the incremental contribution of an individual project is not cumulatively considerable.
Second, it is not enough for an environmental document to conclude there is no significant GHG emissions impacts based upon a determination of consistency with a GHG Reduction Plan, without also making a determination based upon substantial evidence of the project's actual cumulative contributions to GHG emissions. In other words, a determination of consistency is only a starting point.' Compliance or non- compliance is merely one factor to be considered. The lead agency must explain how reliance on any particular plan or regulation addresses a potential impact.
Here, however, the IS/MND fails to demonstrate that the GHG Reduction Plan includes the above -listed requirements to be considered a qualified CAP or GHG Reduction Plan for the City. As such, the IS/MND leaves an analytical gap showing that compliance with said plans can be used for a project -level significance determination for the Project. Second, the IS/MND fails to explain how compliance with the GHG Reduction Plan leads to a less than significant impact. i. The GHG Reduction Plan is Not a Qualified CAP or GHG Reduction Plan.
First, there is no evidence that the General Plan meets any of the five goals listed above as a qualified CAP or GHG Reduction Plan under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15064.4(b)(3) and 15183.5(b)(1). In fact, even though the Los Angeles General Plan is available on the City's website for review, the IS/MND does not make those plans readily available for review. It is also unclear where or how, and what sections the IS/MND is consistent with the General Plan or the CAP revised in 2020. The IS/MND or EIR should explain how the GHG Reduction Plan qualifies for consistency analysis under CEQA Guidelines 55 15064.4(b)(3) and 15183.5(b)(1) and 8 Cal. Nat. Res. Agency, Final Statement of Reasons for Regulatory Action, Amendments to the State CEQA Guidelines, OAL Notice File No. Z-2018-0116-12 (Nov. 2018), at p. 95; see also Lighthouse Field Beach Rescue P. City of Santa Cru.Z (2005) 131 Cal. App. 4th 1170, 1207 ("[A]n inconsistency between a project and other land use controls does not in itself mandate a finding of significance. [Citations.]")
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
provide a copy that plan for public review, instead of making only one reference to California Air Pollution Control (pp. 77-78).
ii. The ISIMND Fails to Demonstrate Compliance mill Lead to a Less than Significant Impact.
Second, the IS/MND fails to explain or analyze how compliance with the General Plan, even if it qualified for a consistency evaluation, will lead to a less than significant impact. The lead agency should explain how implementing the particular requirements in the plan, regulation or program ensure that the project's incremental contribution to the cumulative effect is not cumulatively considerable" (emphasis added).' Here, the IS/MND merely indicates its consistency with the 2050 RTP/SCS IS/MND, p. 45-46. This is the extent of the analysis. This fails to demonstrate how 9 Natural Resources Agency (Nov. 2018) Final Statement of Reasons For Regulatory Action:
Amendments To The State CEQA Guidelines ("2018 Final Statement of Reason"), p. 19 (adding reference to section 15183.5 to section 15064.4(b)(3) because it was "needed to clarify that lead agencies may rely on plans prepared pursuant to section 15183.5 in evaluating a project's greenhouse gas emissions[,] ... [which] is consistent with the Agency's Final Statement of Reasons for the addition of section 15064.4, which states that `proposed section 15064.4 is intended to be read in conjunction with ... proposed section 15183.5. Those sections each indicate that local and regional plans may be developed to reduce GHG emissions."'), htips://files.resources.ca.gov/cega/docs/2018 CEQA Final Statement of"/o20Reasons 111218.12df; see also Natural Resources Agency (Dec. 2009) Final Statement of Reasons for Regulatory Action ("2009 Final Statement of Reason"), p. 27 ("Those sections each indicate that local and regional plans may be developed to reduce GHG emissions. If such plans reduce community -wide emissions to a level that is less than significant, a later project that complies with the requirements in such a plan may be found to have a less than significant impact."), http://resources.ca.gov/ceqa/docs/ Final Statement of Reasons.pdf; 2009 Final Statement of Reason, pp. 14-17 (To qualify, the plan "must ... include binding requirements to address a cumulative problem[;] ... such plans contain Oec�c requirements with respect to resources that are within the agency `s Jurisdiction to avoid or substantially lessen the agency's contributions to GHG emissions ... consistency with plans that are purely yoirational (i.e., those that include only unen orceable goals without mandatory reduction measures), and provide no assurance that emissions within the area governed by the plan will actually address the cumulative problem[;] ... by re uirin that lead agencies draw a link between the project and the specific provisions of a binding plan or regulation, section 15064(h)(3) would ensure that cumulative effects of the project are actually addressed by the plan or regulation in question.") 35 SCAG (Dec. 2015) 2016 RTP/SCS Program EIR ("PEIR"), p. 3.8-12 — 3.8-13 ("SB 375 provides that the SCS developed as part of the RTP does not regulate the use of land or dictate local land use policies, and urther Ones provides that a city's or county's land use policies and regulations, including its general plan, are not required to be consistent with the SCS. Rather, SB 375 is intended to provide a regional policy foundation that local government may build upon, i the so choose."

City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
compliance will in fact lead to a less than significant impact. It is not enough to state some goals or policies and then state the Project will comply with those goals or policies. For example, there are no specific references to tangible measures of consistency with the city and state goals. The IS/MND does not conduct this analysis and relies wholly on compliance statements with an unverified or non -compliant GHG Reduction Plan.
iii. The ISIMND Fails to Evaluate Cumulative Project GHG Impacts.
An IS/MND must discuss cumulative impacts when they are significant and the project's incremental contribution is "cumulatively considerable." CEQA Guidelines §15130(a). A project's incremental contribution is cumulatively considerable if the incremental effects of the project are significant "when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects." CEQA Guidelines § 15065(a)(3).
Here, there is no evidence that the IS/MND's Air Quality, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Health Risk Assessment Impact Analysis evaluated the Project's cumulative project GHG emissions. See IS/MND, Appendix A. Throughout the IS/MND's GHG analysis (pp. 43-47), it states that the total projected GHG emissions for the Project are in compliance with the South Coast Air Management District's ("SCAQMD's") adopted 2016 AQMP, yet there is no analysis of a potential cumulative impact anywhere in the Appendix.
The IS/MND needs to conduct a cumulative GHG impacts analysis, and if there is a potentially significant impact, impose adequate and all feasible measures.
3. The ISIMND Fails to Anal.Ze Cumulative Project AirQuality Impacts.
The IS/MND (pp. 28-32) indicates no potentially significant impacts for air quality that is mitigated to less than significant levels with Mitigation Measures 1 and 2 identified as such in Appendix A (low-VOC applications and Tier 4 Final construction equipment) —yet, as with the IS/MND GHG analysis, there is no evidence in Appendix A that any cumulative impacts analysis was conducted that included other projects. Thus, there is no substantial evidence upon which to base the IS/MND's conclusion of no significant cumulative impacts with the aforementioned mitigation measures.
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
The IS/MND needs to conduct a cumulative air quality impacts analysis, and if there is a potentially significant impact, impose adequate and all feasible measures.
4. The ISIMND Fails to Adequately Disclose, Analy.Ze the Proyect's Significant Noise Impacts
The IS/MND discloses that the Project will not have less than significant or no noise impacts and proposes no mitigation measures based on those conclusions (IS/MND 58-62).
The IS/MND fails to adequately analyze all of the Project's significant noise impacts.
For example, the Project's analysis excludes the impacts of the nearby sensitive receptors, including but not limited to all the nearby single-family residences in all directions, the Temecula Ridge Apartment Homes, Sage Canyon Apartments Homes, Portofino Apartments, Rancho Apartments, Vail Elementary School, Temecula Elementary School, Orchard Church, Go STEAM 4 Girls, and Zen Balancing business. The IS/MND acknowledges that construction activity is allowable between 7:00 am and 6:30 pm, times when the schools and businesses will certainly be in session and susceptible to disturbance from excessive noise levels that will almost certainly impact the schools, learning, business operations of the nearby businesses, and work productivity of those many residents who work from home in the hundreds of homes surrounding the Project site. Yet none of these details are attended to in the IS/MND. An agency may not avoid its responsibility to prepare proper environmental analysis by failing to gather relevant data. Sundstrom v. County of Mendocino (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 311.
5. The ISI MND Fails to Adequately Analy.Ze Ha.Zards and Ha.Zardous Materials Impacts
The IS/MND's analysis of Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impacts is deficient. It concludes either that impacts would be less than significant, or that there would be no impact (IS/MND p. 48). This is inappropriate given the hazardous or potentially hazardous materials that need to be transported adjacent to sensitive receptors, such as all the nearby single-family residences in all directions, the Temecula Ridge Apartment Homes, Sage Canyon Apartments Homes, Portofino Apartments, Rancho Apartments, Vail Elementary School, Temecula Elementary School, Orchard Church, Go STEAM 4 Girls, and Zen Balancing business, and potentially others. The IS/MND improperly concludes that hazardous materials likely to be utilized, such as
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
inorganic and organic chemicals, solvents, mercury, lead, asbestos, paints and paint supplies, oil, gasoline, cleansers, pesticides, cleaning solvents, concrete, hydraulic fluids, various "cleaning materials", vehicle fuels, and assumes that the 20 to 24 month timeframe would constitute "short-term" use of these hazards and hazardous materials, or that they would be localized to the project site without explaining how they would not radiate to the nearby sensitive receptors (IS/MND 49). There is no further analysis tailored to the specific needs of the Project, and so there is no analysis conducted on the specific hazards or hazardous materials as to any of the sections that require further detail when such mitigation is implemented and supported by substantial evidence in accordance with CEQA Guideline § 15091. And, an agency may not avoid its responsibility to prepare proper environmental analysis by failing to gather relevant data. Sundstrom P. County of Mendocino (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 311.
6. The ISI MND Fails to Adequately Analy.Ze the Projects Significant Biological Impacts
The IS/MND discloses that the Project will have no biological impacts and proposes no mitigation measures for those conclusions (IS/MND 33-34).
The IS/MND recognizes the potential for special -status plant or animal species or sensitive natural communities within the Project site (IS/MND 33) but only cites to prior rough grading and circular logic that it would not contain any suitable habitats for special -status species. The analysis cites to no survey at all, let alone a recent one, that could indicate whether the Project site is occupied by special status plant or animal species. The IS/MND is obligated to provide information germane to determining whether there are recent occupations of special status flora and fauna via a survey or equivalent evidence. Nor does the IS/MND explain why the Project Site is not located within a Criteria Cell pursuant to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan in determining that the Project Site is outside that jurisdiction.
Because of this, the IS/MND should be replaced with a more substantive EIR that adequately analyzes and mitigates these significant impacts to the local fauna. An agency may not avoid its responsibility to prepare proper environmental analysis by failing to gather relevant data. Sundstrom v. County of Mendocino (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 311.
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project

7. The ISI MND Fails to Adequately Analy.Ze the Project's Significant Transportation and Traffic Impacts
The IS/MND inadequately analyzes potential transportation and traffic impacts relating to the Project (IS/MND pp. 67-69). It recognizes the existing street network and availability to public transit and adjacent highways, and specifically the Rancho California Road, Ynez Road, and Moraga Road. Despite this, the IS/MND provides insufficient analysis of transportation and traffic impacts caused by the Project.
For instance, the Project is adjacent to a major thoroughfare in Temecula, which acts as a major east/west transportation artery through the city. Despite this, the IS/MND nonetheless finds that there would be less -than -significant impacts to all transportation and traffic metrics. The road is surrounded and utilized by the hundreds of nearby single-family homes and several nearby apartment complexes. The IS/MND already indicated the use of heavy construction equipment and machinery, as well as the transportation of hazardous materials. Construction is allowable between the hours of 7 AM and 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, which would likely involve simultaneous traffic congestion from construction and school pickup/drop off. Furthermore, with an increased propensity for work -from -home schedules, business, residential, and construction travel could each be impacted by the other and the Project's Development, making rush-hour times less -predictable. There is also no attendance of the impact to the nearby businesses, Church, especially considering how important Rancho California Road is to the City of Temecula generally. Despite these considerations, the IS/MND acknowledges few, if any of them. An agency may not avoid its responsibility to prepare proper environmental analysis by failing to gather relevant data. Sundstrom P. County of Mendocino (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 311. The IS/MND is obligated to attend to these considerations but does not do so. SWRCC requests the City reconsider and incorporate deeper analysis as it pertains to transportation and traffic.
III. THE PROJECT VIOLATES THE STATE PLANNING AND
ZONING LAW AS WELL AS THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN
A. Background Regarding the State Planning and Zoning Law An EIR must identify, fully analyze and mitigate any inconsistencies between a proposed project and the general, specific, regional, and other plans that apply to the project. CEQA Guidelines § 15125(d); Pfe fer P. City of Sunnyvale City Council (2011)
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
200 Cal.AppAth 1552, 1566; Friends of the Eel River v. Sonoma County 1laterAgency (2003) 108 Cal.App.4th 859, 881. There does not need to be a direct conflict to trigger this requirement; even if a project is "incompatible" with the "goals and policies" of a land use plan, the EIR must assess the divergence between the project and the plan, and mitigate any adverse effects of the inconsistencies. Napa Citizens for Honest Government P. Napa County Bd. of Supervisors (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 342, 378-79; see also Pocket Protectors P. City of Sacramento (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 903 (holding under CEQA that a significant impact exists where project conflicts with local land use policies); Friends of `B"Street P. City of Hayward (1980) 106 Cal.App.3d 988, 998 (held county development and infrastructure improvements must be consistent with adopted general plans) (citing Gov. Code 65302).
B. The Proposed Land Use Amendments and Entitlements Conflict with SB 375 and SCAG's 2020 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strat=
In 2008, Senate Bill 375 amended CEQA and empowered metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to enact regional plans to reduce GHG emissions from passenger vehicles. MPOs are required to prepare regional transportation plans (RTP) and sustainable community strategies (SCS) in an effort to meet CARB's GHG reduction goals under SB 375. (Gov. Code § 65080(b)(2)(B).) SB 375 specifically targets GHG emissions from passenger vehicles by linking land use decisions to transportation planning. (Id.) If the regional SCS/RTP plan does not achieve CARB's GHG reduction targets, then the MPO is required to create an alternative planning strategy (APS) that shows how the targets can be achieved through other mechanism such as alternative development patterns, infrastructure decisions, or other alternative transportation measures or policies that can still achieve CARB's reduction targets. (Gov. Code 5 65080(b)(2)(I).)
For this Project, the applicable plan is SCAG's 2020-2045 RTP/SCS plan adopted on September 3, 2020.
The IS/MND fails to analyze the Project's consistency with SCAG's 2020-2045 RTP/SCS plan, outright. But it also fails to adequately analyze consistency with the 2016 plan. For example, SCAG's 2016 RTP/SCS requires or suggests the following that the Project fails to consider or adopt in the IS/MND:
City of Temecula — Rendezvous Phase II Project
July 19, 2022
• Land Use Policies: pursuing affordable housing or providing more transportation options for short trips;10
• Transportation Network Strategies: providing transit fare discounts; providing transit integration strategies such as integration of active transportation and transit by improving pedestrian access and bicyclist access;"
• Transportation Demand Management Strategies: encourage use and implementation of TDM strategies such as rideshare
incentives, parking management, parking subsidies for carpoolers, incentives for telecommuting, integrated mobility hubs, or additional investments in active transportation infrastructure;12 and • Clean Vehicle Technology Strategies: use of neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), and anticipating shared mobility platforms, car - to -car communication or automated vehicle technologies.13 The IS/MND fails to demonstrate consistency with the most recent SCAG 2020-2045 RTP / SCS and should be revised to meet its goals and policies.
IV. CONCLUSION
SWRCC requests that the City revise and recirculate the Project's Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, or submit an environmental impact report, to address the aforementioned concerns.
If the City has any questions or concerns, feel free to contact my Office.
Sincerely,
Jason Cohen

LITTLE LEAGUE
# ; iF
August 23, 2022
Dear City of Temecula,
Temecula Little League President: Eric Scheafer
27475 Ynez Rd. #634
Temecula, CA 92591 Email: [email protected] My intent for discussion is in regards to the definition of "residents" as it is used in the process when approved local leagues are allocated field space.
Currently under Policy 0401, last revised January 2013, field allocations are based on an 80/20 percent resident versus non-resident equation. Available hours per week are also defined under this policy, along with the penalties for not having 80% or greater residents registered in your program. "Out of City" players go against those available hours, and if you fall below the 80/20 rule, there are repercussions that could ultimately lead to losing your Charter with the City.
In my opinion, essentially the players and league can be punished for allowing "out of city" residents play in the League. Local field space becomes even less of an opportunity for long standing Leagues and its families under this policy.
Temecula Little League (TLL) has been chartered with LL Int'I since 1980. Little League International has set boundaries that determine who is eligible to be in a Local League. It is mostly based on families that live in certain school districts or zip codes, with the intent that players who become school and neighborhood friends can play baseball together.
Community strength is International's number one goal, and Temecula Little League has become a significant partner in pursuing that objective.
Last Spring, TLL had more than 1,000 players registered. Of those registered more than 90% lived in one of the three Temecula postal codes. Their address included Temecula, even though their home was in Morgan Hill, Glen Oaks, or De Luz.
This Fall Season, we luckily made it through the 80%, but there are still "Out of City" residents that will be used against our field space.
Please refer to attachments:
• Maps of Boundaries
1. City Limits
2. Postal Codes Considered Temecula
3. Little League International's recognized Temecula Little League boundaries • Possible Solutions
• Policy 0401
Within the attachments, you will find what is recognized by Little League International (LL Int'I) as our boundaries for players. Additionally, a statement of why they use this process that qualifies LL participants to given areas. Next is the United State Postal Services designated zip code map showing what is recognized as Temecula and how it correlates to LL boundaries. Possible solutions, and lastly the policy which is in question.
I believe it is safe to say that the residents in these zip codes contribute to Temecula's community and economy. They all shop in our local small businesses, grocery stores, and big box stores. They have children or they themselves attended TVUSD schools, enjoy our amazing City events, enjoy the many recreational parks or sports fields, spend time in Old Town, and much more.
Also within these zip codes are significant attractions that our City relies on and considers their own.
Temecula Valley Wine Country, Pechanga Casino and Resort, and the Pala Casino which all draw a large portion of our tourist attraction and employs many of our residents and "non-residents".
TLL follows the guidelines and complies with the City's 80/20 rule as best as possible year in and year out. My request is not to completely remove the $10 "non-resident" fee, but consider redefining what a Resident vs. Non -Resident is when allotting field space. It would only seem fair to these individuals as they truly are a part of our community.
As many of you know, the Ronald Reagan statue plaque at RRSP, references a speech given, by our then President, at the 1983 Olympic Committee. In his statement, he commends our community by stating: "...the folks in a rather small town, Temecula. They got together and built themselves a sports park ... And now the young people of that community have baseball diamonds for Little League and other sports events, just due to what's traditional Americanism." The "folks in a rather small town" refers to three zip codes currently recognized.
I am greatly appreciative of the support received by the Community Services Team, Maintenance Crew, Community Services Group, and the City Council. Collectively, youth sports are represented very well, and my request would further support that Temecula does cares about its young athlete and their role in our community.
Thank you,
Eric Scheafer

Boundaries play an important role within the Little League- program by helping to maintain parity and ensuring that Little League remains a community based program. All participants at every level in a local league must either reside or attend school within the boundary of the league. Prior to each season, each league should review its boundary map to ensure that everyone in the league understands the area to be serviced and identify any changes that may need to be requested.
Possible Solutions
1. Keep the rule in place as it stands today.
• 80% of the players in an athletic league must be Temecula residents. Player applications+rosters are required for verification of residency. The City may require additional residency documentation as necessary.
• Each season, a $10.00 non-resident fee will be assessed fear each player that is not a Temecula resident.
2. Consider LISPS Postal Zip Codes as Residents
Option 1: Reduce the fee for newly assumed "Residents" and include them in the 80% Option 2: Remove the fee for newly assumed "Residents" and include them in the 80% Option 3: Keep the fee in place ($10.00), but consider the postal codes a part of the 80%

BACKGROUND: Temecula is a rapidly growing, family -oriented community that currently has several youth sport leagues offered on its existing fields and facilities. These leagues in general, serve the needs of Temecula residents and provide services that enhance the quality of life in Temecula. The rapid growth of youth sports leagues continue to create a high demand for athletic fields and facilities.
Sport leagues contribute to the continued demand and need for space and facilities. As a result, the following policy has been adopted by the Community Services Department to determine when and how to recognize a newly formed sports league and allocate field space based upon residency numbers, as well as maintaining the requirements necessary to remain a recognized league within the City.
CRITERIA:
• Newly formed leagues will be reviewed only if field space is available. • A newly formed league must have a minimum of 200 Temecula resident players to constitute a league.
• 80% of the members on an Executive Board of Directors (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) for a newly formed sports league in Temecula must be Temecula residents. • Executive Board of Directors that governs youth sports leagues in Temecula must be based or headquartered within the City of Temecula.
• Each sports league must have established bylaws for its league. • A league must have a minimum of four (4) resident teams in the same age division. • 80% of the players in an athletic league must be Temecula residents. Player applications/rosters are required for verification of residency. The City may require additional residency documentation as necessary.
• The youth athletic league must be a registered non-profit organization and hold a non-profit agency identification number.
• The youth athletic league must have $1,000,000 of General Liability Insurance that names the City of Temecula/ Temecula Community Service District as additional insured. • Each season, a $10.00 non-resident fee will be assessed fear each player that is not a Temecula resident.
• All criteria listed above must be met in order to be recognized as a youth league. If requirements are not met, applicant must wait until the next traditional season to re -apply, should field space be available.
• Should an established league fall below the 80% Temecula resident requirement, the following penalties will apply:
Traditional Season 1 15% Penalty
Traditional Season 2 30% Penalty
Notice of Suspension for following season
