BACKGROUND SUMMARY

On December 21, 2020, the City of Temecula approved Planning Application No. PA20 -1265, a Minor Modification to allow for an outdoor pavilion to be constructed at the Redhawk Golf Course.

The pavilion totals 3,200 square feet and is located near the existing golf course pro-shop, administration building, and restaurant. The pavilion is currently used to host golf-related events such as tournaments, awards presentations, etc.

On June 15, 2023, James Wood submitted Planning Application No. PA23-0251, a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the operation of an event center at the existing Redhawk Golf Course pavilion. In addition, James Wood submitted Planning Application No. PA23-0327 on August 15, 2023, a Specific Plan Amendment for the Redhawk Specific Plan to provide a revision to the uses associated with the golf course and add related standards for those uses. The intent of these applications is to allow the golf course to conduct weddings/events within the existing pavilion.

Many golf courses host weddings and other events. The addition of a wedding/event center will improve the economic viability of the Redhawk Golf Course.

Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.

3 ANALYSIS

Site Plan

The project location is on the west side of the approximately 100-acre Redhawk Golf Course. This area currently contains a clubhouse, pro shop, restaurant, administrative building, driving range, and the recently approved pavilion. The project proposes no new construction or physical modifications of any kind. Rather, the project will consist of revisions to the uses and related standards allowed by the Redhawk Specific Plan. Vehicular access to the site will still be from Redhawk Parkway and all pedestrian access will remain unaltered.

Specific Plan Amendment

The Redhawk Specific Plan was first approved in 1988 and currently allows golf courses with clubhouses, restaurants, and related retail shops in Planning Area 36. However, there are no provisions for allowing non-golf-related events. In addition, Planning Area 36, and its current requirements, were added to the Specific Plan as part of a previous amendment. The current amendment to the Specific Plan will allow greater clarity for Planning Area 36 and permit events such as weddings, anniversary and retirement parties to take place. The below language illustrates the text changes to the Specific Plan.

II. Specific Plan
B. Development Plans and Standards

1. Community Level Development Standards
c. Open Space and Recreation Standards
o Standards
*Golf Course (Planning Area 36) shall be developed on approximately 100.9 acres. a) The golf course shall consist of 18 holes and a club house. An outdoor covered pavilion shall be allowed for hosting golf events as well as events listed below. In addition to the uses permitted in Ordinance No. 348.2928, wedding facilities shall also be permitted upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Wedding facilities may also be used to host private events including, but not limited to, the events listed below.  Weddings and related wedding events (e.g., bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc.)  Birthdays
 Anniversaries
 Corporate Functions
 Community Events
In the event that a similar use is proposed that is not listed above, the Director of Community Development shall be allowed to make a consistency determination. 369

4 b) The golf course shall be completed as a part of Phase II. c) Refer to Exhibit II-3, Planning Area 36 - Golf Course. d) Refer to Section II. B. 1. i. Landscaping Plan.
e) Parking for the golf course shall be required per Ordinance No. 348 (6 spaces/hole). f) Parking for the outdoor covered pavilion shall be required at 1 space/70 square feet.

Conditional Use Permit

The wedding facility will require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). In addition, the wedding facility will be able to host a variety of other event types including, but not limited to, corporate and community events. Events shall be allowed no more than three times per week from 12:00 PM through 9:00 PM. These timing allowances were created after the applicant met with residents of the Redhawk community as described in the Public Engagement section below. All events regardless of type will be required to comply with the City of Temecula Noise Ordinance.

Maximum occupancy of the pavilion will be reduced as a component of the project. Currently, the pavilion is permitted to have 144 occupants at any one time. This number will be reduced to a maximum of 130 occupants.

Alcohol will be served at some of the events held within the pavilion. The golf course already has an active ABC Type-47 license and approval of the CUP will allow alcohol service in the pavilion with that existing license. In addition, alcohol may also be served at events by an appropriate licensed caterer hired for an event.

Public Engagement

The project site is surrounded by existing single-family residential units. The applicant engaged residents within the Redhawk Specific Plan via two publicly noticed outreach meetings. Staff was in attendance for both of these. The first meeting was held on October 23, 2024. The second meeting was held on February 12, 2025. Both meetings were well attended by Redhawk residents.

The discussions held between the applicant and residents during these meetings were productive.

The applicant made several changes to their proposal based on the meetings. This included further limiting the hours events can take place as well as their frequency per week.

LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS

Notice of the public hearing was published in The Press-Enterprise on September 24, 2025, and mailed to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

Staff has reviewed the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and based on an initial study, it has been determined the project will not have a significant impact on the environment; therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project.

370

5 A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared under staff’s direction by Kimley-Horn and was distributed to responsible agencies, interested groups, and organizations. The Draft MND was made available for public review and comment for a period of 30 days. The public review and comment period for the Draft MND commenced on June 30, 2025, and concluded on July 30, 2025. Notices were mailed to surrounding property owners, a sign was placed on the property, and a notice was placed in the local paper to provide the 30-day noticing period for the public. The City of Temecula received two written comments and responded to each comment in the Final MND, which includes all timely received written comments and responses thereto. Comments were provided by Southern California Gas Company, Eastern Municipal Water District, and Riverside Transit Agency.

The environmental analysis identified 19 areas where impacts were found to be less than significant or had no impact at all. These areas are: Aesthetics, Agricultural and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing, Public Service, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. The MND recommends a feasible mitigation measures for those environmental impacts that can be mitigated to a less than significant impact. This mitigation is located in the following area: Noise.

FINDINGS

Specific Plan Amendment

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment has been reviewed pursuant to the City’s General Plan and all applicable State laws and has been found to be consistent with the policies, guidelines, standards, and regulations intended to ensure that the development within the Redhawk Specific Plan area will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. The amendment won’t be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City because mitigation has been placed on the project. This 371

6 mitigation will ensure that noise levels are within in the City’s acceptable range. In addition, the amendment is placing limits on the use that do not currently exist. These include, limiting the number of events to no more than three per week and limiting the number of guests in attendance to 130 persons.

The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment shall ensure the development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood.

The project site is already developed with a golf course and related amenities such as a restaurant, clubhouse and pro shop. The golf course currently allows for golf-related events at the pavilion.

These include, tournaments, trophy presentations, and other golf-related social events. The amendment will allow for the ability of the golf course to conduct weddings and other events.

Conditional Use Permit

The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.

The proposed conditional use conforms to the existing policies within the City of Temecula General Plan. Goal 7 speaks of having “Community gathering areas which provide for the social, civic, cultural and recreational needs of the community.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY

Many golf courses host weddings and other events. The addition of a wedding/event center will improve the economic viability of the Redhawk Golf Course. On March 16, 2026, staff was informed that Robbi Snider would be the new applicant for the project.

The project was most recently heard at the February 4, 2026 Planning Commission public hearing.

Information was presented at this hearing that provided evidence illustrating that the project was in conformance with the City’s Noise Ordinance. However, at the conclusion of the hearing the Planning Commission voted to have the applicant relocate speaker locations to the ceiling and implement some type of sound wall or curtain. The applicant was also required to conduct additional sound testing once these items were in place. The applicant agreed to these requirements. In addition, the Commission requested clarification related to operational hours, specifically, with regard to when events must cease.

376

3 ANALYSIS

Sound Testing

Per the City of Temecula General Plan, the maximum exterior noise level for residential uses is 65 decibels. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for the project provided mitigation to ensure this maximum is not exceeded. Mitigation measures include the following:

1. Amplified speakers be limited to a maximum of 84 dBA at a distance of 50 feet to meet noise requirements (65 dBA)

2. Golf course representative/event coordinator shall complete a noise measurement at 50 feet downstream from (or directly in front of) the amplified speakers and maintain a logbook for 90 days.

Limiting the amplified speakers to a maximum 84 dBA at a distance of 50 feet ensured that decibels achieved a maximum level of 60 according to a noise study conducted for the project by Kimley-Horn. This level is below the 65-decibel maximum allowed by the City’s General Plan.

As previously mentioned, the Planning Commission required the applicant to relocate speakers to the ceiling, install some type of sound detinning apparatus and then conduct an additional sound study. The applicant relocated speakers to the ceiling, installed retractable screening, and installed Indian Laurel trees. The applicant sought to have Kimley-Horn conduct a revised sound study to analyze any changes to the decibel levels. However, the cost of conducting a revised noise study proved to be cost prohibitive. Therefore, the applicant conducted their own noise monitoring with a dedicated decibel reader. This monitoring was conducted on March 21, 2026 at a wedding with a DJ. The applicant chose six measurement locations located on residential property lines. Each location was tested for 30 seconds. It is important to note that the applicant utilized a dedicated decibel reader to conduct testing.

The additional steps implemented by the applicant lowered the decibel readings at the adjacent residential property lines. For example, decibel readings at the property line immediately west of the project site originally measured between 55 and 60 decibels. These areas now measure 50.1 and 51.6 decibels. These values continue to be lower than the maximum 65 decibel permitted by the City’s General Plan. The attached map shows each measurement location and associated decibel readings.

Operational Closing

The Commission requested clarification related to when events must cease. The project has been designed to require events stop at 9:00 PM. Event clean-up must be completed by 10:00 PM. The Statement of Operations and Conditions of Approval (COA No. 13) have been revised to make this clarification.

PC RESOLUTION NO. 2026-

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF

THE CITY OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING THAT THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA ADOPT

THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING

PROGRAM PREPARED FOR THE REDHAWK SPECIFIC

PLAN AMENDMENT GENERALLY LOCATED
APPROXIMATELY 1,500 FEET FROM THE REDHAWK

PARKWAY AND VAIL RANCH PARKWAY
INTERSECTION (APN: 962-040-012)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:

A. On June 15, 2023, James Wood, on behalf of Redhawk Golf Course, filed Planning Application No. PA23-0251, a Conditional Use Permit to allow a wedding/event center to be operated as part of an existing golf course. On August 15, 2023, James Wood, on behalf of Redhawk Golf Course, filed Planning Application PA23-0327, a Specific Plan Amendment for the Redhawk Specific Plan to provide a revision to uses associated with the golf course and add related standards for those uses. Both applications were submitted in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.

B. The project site is approximately 100 acres and generally located approximately 1,500 feet from the Redhawk Parkway and Vail Ranch Parkway Intersection.

C. The applications were processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code 21000, et seq. and the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs 15000 et seq. (collectively referred to as “CEQA”).

D. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000, et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 14000, et seq.), the City is the lead agency for the Project.

E. The City contracted with Kimley-Horn for the independent preparation of an Initial Study to analyze the potential environmental effects of the Project. Based on the information contained in the Initial Study, Kimley-Horn and City staff concluded that the Project could have a significant effect on the environment, but that mitigation measures could be implemented to reduce such impacts to a less than significant level. Based upon this determination, Kimley-Horn prepared, and City staff concurred in, a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (“Draft MND”) in accordance with CEQA Section 21080(c) and Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

F. The City circulated a Notice of Intent to Adopt the Draft MND, along with the MND and its Appendices to the public and other interested parties, for a 30-day comment period between June 30, 2025 through July 30, 2025. A Notice of Intent was also sent to adjacent property owners indicating a review period of June 30, 2025 through July 30, 2025. The City published a 388

Notice of Intent for the Draft MND in the Press Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation within the City. Copies of the documents have been available for public review and inspection at the offices of the Department of Community Development, located at City Hall, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, Ca 92590, Chamber of Commerce, located at 26790 Ynez Court, Suite A, Temecula CA 92591, Ronald Roberts Public Library, located at 30600 Pauba Road, Temecula, CA 92592, and on the City of Temecula website.

H. The “Final Mitigated Negative Declaration” (“Final MND”) consists of the Draft MND, response to comments, and all of its appendices and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The Final MND was made available to the public and to all commenting agencies on September 22, 2025, which is at least 10 days prior to certification of the Final MND, in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21092.5(a).

I. On May 6, 2026, the Planning Commission, held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Final MND and the Project, at which time the Planning Commission heard and considered information presented by City staff on the Project and its environmental review. In addition, all interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify regarding this matter.

Section 2. Findings. After due consideration of the Final MND and the Project and in the exercise of its independent judgment, the Planning Commission hereby finds and resolves that:

A. All of the above recitals are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated into this section as though set forth in full.

D. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Final MND and all comments received regarding the Final MND prior to and at the May 6, 2026 public hearing, and based on the whole record before it finds that: (1) the Final MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (2) there 389

is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment; and (3) the Final MND reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning Commission this 6th day of May, 2026.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment 1
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
A.1 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of this program is to identify the changes to the project, which the Lead Agency has adopted or made a condition of a project approval, in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The City of Temecula is the Lead Agency that must adopt the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. Section 21069 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statute defines Responsible Agency as a public agency, other than the Lead Agency, which has the responsibility for carrying out or approving a project.

CEQA statutes and Guidelines provide direction for clarifying and managing the complex relationships between a Lead Agency and other agencies with respect to implementing and monitoring mitigation measures. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(d) “when making the findings required in subdivision (a)(1) of CEQA, the agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. These measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures.”
Furthermore, Section 15097.d states “each agency has the discretion to choose its own approach to monitoring or reporting; and each agency has its own special expertise.” This discretion will be exercised by implementing agencies at the time they undertake any of the individual improvement projects identified in the Draft IS/MND.

A completed and signed checklist for each measure indicates that a measure has been implemented and fulfills the City’s monitoring requirements with respect to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6.

3 C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this development code and required by the planning commission or council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.

The proposed conditional use will not require any modifications to the existing site or any existing structures. Therefore, the site for the conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features. The proposed uses will be well integrated with other existing uses in the neighborhood.

D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community.

The project has been reviewed and conditioned to be consistent with the Building, Development, and Fire codes. These codes contain provisions to ensure uses are not detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The pavilion is located approximately 300 feet from the nearest residential property line. Mitigation has been included with the project that will limit speaker volume to a maximum of 84 dBA at a distance of 50 feet. In addition, speakers shall be limited to the southeast corner of the pavilion. This mitigation will ensure the City’s noise regulations are adhered to.

The decision to conditionally approve the conditional use was based on substantial evidence in view of the record as whole before the City Council.

Section 3. Conditions of Approval. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby approves Planning Application No. PA23-0251, a Conditional Use Permit to allow a wedding/event center to be operated as part of the existing golf course located at 45100 Temecula Parkway, subject to the Conditions of Approval attached as Exhibit “A” attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

Maintain Premises as a Bona Fide Eating Place. Type 41, 47 and 49 licensees must operate and maintain their licensed premises as a bona fide eating place. They must make actual and substantial sale of meals, during the normal meal hours when they are open, at least five days a week. Normal meal hours are: breakfast 6:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m., lunch 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., and dinner 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Premises that are not open five days a week must serve meals on the days they are open. The premises must be equipped and maintained in good faith. This means the premises must possess working refrigeration and cooking devices, pots, pans, utensils, table service, condiment dispensers, menus, posters, signs, and enough goods to make substantial meals. The premises must comply with all regulations of the local health department. Incidental, sporadic or infrequent sales of meals or a mere offering of meals without actual sales is not compliance. “Meals” means the usual assortment of food commonly ordered at various hours of the day. The service of only sandwiches or salads is not considered compliance. However, certain specialty entrees, such as pizza, fish or ribs, and an assortment of other foods, such as soups, salads or desserts, may be considered a meal. The Department will presume that a licensee is operating as a bona fide eating place if the gross sales of food prepared and sold to guests on the premises exceeds the gross sales of alcoholic beverages. “Prepared” means any processing preliminary to the final serving of food. (Note: Some licensees have a “conditional” license that requires food sales to be 50% or more of the total gross sales Sections 23038 and 23787 B&P).

35. No Alcohol Sales Between 2:00 am and 6:00 am. Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver alcohol (by the drink or by the package) between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day. No person may knowingly purchase alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Section 25631 B&P Code). Licensees may not permit patrons or employees to consume alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day (even if someone bought the drinks before 2:00 a.m. Section 25632 B&P). Some ABC licenses have special conditions (restrictions) as to hours of sale that are stricter than the law. Those licenses are marked “Conditional” (23805 B&P).

36. Disorderly House. Licensees may not permit their licensed premises to become a disorderly house. A disorderly house is a licensed outlet (on or off sale) that: (a) disturbs neighbors with noise, loud music, loitering, littering, vandalism, urination or defecation, graffiti, etc.; and/or (b) has many ongoing crimes inside such as drunks, fights, assaults, prostitution, narcotics, etc.

The licensed premise includes the parking lot (Section 25601 B&P; 316 PC).

38.

Page 7 of 8 ends

Entertainment Rules. On-sale licensees who offer entertainment must abide by the following rules: (1) No licensee shall permit any person to perform acts of or acts which simulate; (a) sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation, flagellation or any sexual acts which are prohibited by law; (b) the touching, caressing or fondling on the breast, buttocks, anus or genitals; (c) the displaying of the pubic hair, anus, vulva or genitals; and (2) Subject to the provisions of subdivision (1) hereof, entertainers whose breasts and/or buttocks are exposed to view shall perform only upon a stage at least 18 inches above the immediate floor level and removed at least six feet from the nearest patron. No licensee shall permit any person to remain in or upon the licensed premises who exposes to public view any portion of her or her genitals or anus (Rule 143.3 CCR. Also violates Section 311.6 PC if conduct is “obscene,” e.g. intercourse, sodomy, masturbation, etc.)

39. Under Number of Calls for Service. Licensees may not permit their licensed premises to be a problem for the local law enforcement agency by needing an undue number of calls for service.

The licensed premise includes the parking lot (Sections 24200 (a) (B&P).

40. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951) 506-5132.

1 SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT –PLANNING

CITY OF TEMECULA

PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE OF MEETING:February 4, 2026
TO:Planning Commission Chairperson and members of the Planning Commission
FROM:Matt Peters, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY:Maricela Marroquin, Assistant City Attorney RECOMMENDATION:That prior to consideration of the proposed Redhawk Specific Plan Amendment and conditional use permit application, the Commission Secretary randomly select Commissioner Turley-Trejo,
Commissioner Watson or Commissioner Matics pursuant to Section 18705 of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission to achieve a quorum for this Agenda Item since these three Commissioners have a conflict because they own residential property in the Redhawk Specific Plan and three affirmative votes of the Commission are required by State law to adopt a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of a Specific Plan amendment.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Commissioner Turley-Trejo, Commissioner Watson, and Commissioner Matics all live within the Redhawk Specific Plan. They have a conflict of interest pursuant to Section 18702.2(a) of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission from participating in a decision pertaining to the proposed Redhawk Specific Plan amendment/conditional use permit application due to the proximity of their residences to the location of the golf course that proposes to add weddings and other special events to the types of uses allowed at the project site.

ANALYSIS
Procedure for Random Selection Pursuant to Section 18705 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations
Government Code section 65453(a) provides that a specific plan shall be prepared, adopted, and amended in the same manner as a general plan, except that a specific plan may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance and may be amended as often as deemed necessary by the legislative body. Government Code section 65354 provides that the planning commission shall make a written recommendation on the adoption or amendment of a general plan by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the total membership of the commission. )XOODJHQGDSDFNHWFDQEHIRXQGRQWKH&LW\ZHESDJHDWKWWSV WHPHFXODFDOHJLVWDUFRP

424

2 Since the Temecula Planning Commission has five members, three affirmative votes are required to adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve an amendment to the Redhawk Specific Plan.
.

The personal residences of Commissioner Turley-Trejo, Commissioner Watson and Commissioner Matics are located within the Redhawk Specific Plan. Specifically, Commissioner Turley-Trejo’s property is located within 170 feet of the nearest property line of the golf course, and approximately 2,378 feet from the outdoor pavilion. Commissioner Watson’s property is located within 735 feet from the property line of the golf course and approximately 1,864 feet from the outdoor pavilion. Commissioner Matics’ property directly abuts the golf course and is located approximately 4,800 feet from the outdoor pavilion.

In the opinion of the Assistant City Attorney, Commissioner Turley-Trejo and Commissioner Matics may not participate in the Planning Commission’s decision pertaining to the Redhawk Specific Plan amendment/conditional use permit application pursuant to Section 18702.2(a)(7) of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission because the Planning Commission’s action involves property located 500 feet or less from the property line of the parcel where the pavilion is located and there is not clear and convincing evidence that the decision will not have any measurable impact on their properties.

In the opinion of the Assistant City Attorney, Commissioner Watson may not participate in the Planning Commission’s decision pertaining to the Redhawk Specific Plan amendment/conditional use permit application pursuant to Section 18702.2(a)(8) of the Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission because the Planning Commission’s action involves property located between 500 and 1,000 feet from the property line of the parcel where the pavilion is located, and the project could impact the character of the neighborhood by substantially altering the intensity of use or noise levels in either a positive or negative way.

Based on the facts set forth above, there is a reasonably foreseeable financial effect of a governmental decision on a parcel of real property in which Commissioner Turley-Trejo, Commissioner Watson and Commissioner Matics have a financial interest that is material.

In the event that a potential conflict of interest will prevent a legislative body from achieving a quorum for the transaction of business, Section 18705 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations specifically authorizes the random selection of one or more members of a legislative body that would have a financial interest in a decision to participate in that decision if necessary to achieve a quorum of the legislative body. Therefore, in order to achieve a quorum of three Members of the Planning Commission to consider the Redhawk Specific Plan amendment/conditional use permit application, it is necessary to randomly select either Commissioner Turley-Trejo, Commissioner Watson and Commissioner Matics to achieve the required quorum so that one of them can legally participate in the proceedings.

The following procedures have been found by decisions of the Fair Political Practices to meet the requirements of Section 18705 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations for the random selection of a Planning Commissioner to achieve the required quorum for consideration of the Redhawk Specific Plan amendment/conditional use permit application:
425

3 1. The random selection process will occur just prior to consideration of the Specific Plan amendment and conditional use permit by the Planning Commission at the public session at the February 4, 2026 regular meeting of the Planning Commission.

2. The Supplemental Agenda Report includes a description of the nature of the economic interest of the members involved, the real property interests of the members involved, and a description of the circumstances in which the conflict might arise, and the legal necessity of achieving a quorum to act on this matter, as required by Section 18705.

3. The Commission Secretary will stand in front of the public audience, with the Assistant Community Development Director as a witness, and place the names of Commissioner Turley-Trejo, Commissioner Watson and Commission Matics on individual pieces of paper into a clear bowl and folded so that their names are not visible or otherwise identifiable.

4. The Commission Secretary will announce that he will draw the name of one of these Commissioners from the bowl and that the Commissioner whose name is drawn will be deemed randomly selected to participate in all matters of the Planning Commission pertaining to the proposed Redhawk Specific Plan Amendment and conditional use permit application.

5. The Commission Secretary will then draw a piece of paper from the bowl and announce the name of the Commissioner selected to participate in all actions related to the proposed Redhawk Specific Plan Amendment and conditional use permit application.

6. The Commission Secretary will specifically record in the official minutes of the Planning Commission a description of the process employed and the name of the Commissioner randomly selected to participate.

7. The Commissioner randomly selected will then be entitled to participate in all actions related to the proposed Redhawk Specific Plan Amendment and conditional use permit application.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 i

OVERVIEW
This Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the Redhawk Golf Course Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP). An Initial Study Checklist and environmental analysis has been prepared to determine the appropriate type of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document.

As documented in the attached Initial Study checklist, the proposed project would result in potentially significant impacts but mitigation measures can mitigate all impacts to less than significant levels. As such, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for the proposed project.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 2 Have California Native American
tribes traditionally and culturally
affiliated with the project area
requested consultation pursuant to
Public Resources Code section
21080.3.1? If so, is there a plan for
consultation that includes, for
example, the determination of
significance of impacts to tribal
cultural resources, procedures
regarding confidentiality, etc.?
Consulting tribes were contacted by the City of Temecula in compliance with AB 52 and SB 18. All tribes that responded had no comments or further questions as the Project does not propose any grading or other ground disturbing activities.

NOTE: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and r educe the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. (See Public Resources Code section 21 080.3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 4 1.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT

1.1 Project Location
The Redhawk Specific Plan Amendment Project (Project) is located in the southern portion of the City of Temecula (City). The Redhawk Specific Plan (“Specific Plan” or “SP”) area is generally located south of the intersection of Redhawk Parkway and Vail Ranch Parkway, and generally east of Interstate 15 (I-15) and south of California State Road 79 (SR-79). Refer to Figure 1: Regional Location Map. The Specific Plan is bounded by the Vail Ranch Specific Plan to the north, the Morgan Hill Planning Area to the east, the Wolf Creek Specific Plan to the west, and the Pechanga Reservation to the south. The Project proponent is seeking a Specific Plan Amendment to the Redhawk Specific Plan to add a new use and related standards for the new use. Proposed new use is a private event center to hold weddings, private parties, etc., within an existing pavilion. A Conditional Use Permit is also proposed to allow for a private event center to operate within an existing golf course, located at 45100 Redhawk Parkway, Temecula, CA 92592. Refer to Figure 2: Local Vicinity Map.

1.2 Project Setting and Land Uses
Redhawk Specific Plan
The Specific Plan area is an approximately 1,275-acre area comprising 21 planning areas. Existing general plan land uses within the Project site consist of low medium residential (LM), medium residential (M), public institutional facilities (PI), and open space (OS). The Specific Plan allows for residential, commercial, open space and recreation, golf course, circulation, and public facilities uses. Much of the Project site is developed with residential land uses, open space in the form of a golf course, and schools, along with accessory and ancillary uses. The Redhawk Golf Course is generally located in the center of the Specific Plan area.

The Redhawk Specific Plan was approved in 1988 and subsequently amended in 2000. Amendment No. 1 to the Redhawk Specific Plan amended the development standards of Planning Areas (PA) 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, and 21 to allow 5,000 square foot minimum lot size single family detached subdivisions of patio homes, zero lot line and z-lot configurations, and/or residential planned developments and multiple family residential developments. Additionally, Amendment No. 1 to the Redhawk Specific Plan did the following:

1. Enlarged PA 20 from 41.5 acres to 53.3 acres by changing the land use designation for the 5.2- acre Commercial Site “C” (PA 27) and 6.6 acres of the School Site “B” (PA 23 consisting of 9.6 acres) to Medium High Density Residential (MH, 8-14 DU/ac) and incorporating these planning areas into a reconfigured and expanded PA 20.

2. Enlarged PA 33 (Park Site “E”) from 12.0 acres to 15.0 acres by changing the land use designation for 3.0 acres of School Site “B” (PA 23) to Park Site “E” and adding these 3.0 acres into a reconfigured and expanded PA 33.

Redhawk Golf Course
The Redhawk Golf Course is an approximately 182.7-acre area of the Redhawk Specific Plan area (PA 36).

It is a prominent feature of the Specific Plan area and is located throughout the entirety of the Specific Plan area, generally centralized to all uses within the Specific Plan area. Redhawk Golf Course includes an 18-hole course, a driving range, putting greens, a pro shop, executive offices, a restaurant, a cart barn, and course maintenance facilities. The course is open seven days a week, and the hours of operation are 6:00 am to 9:00 pm with seasonal variations dependent on daylight hours. There are typically 20 employees on site. The Project would allow for additional uses at the Redhawk Golf Course Country Club and Outdoor Pavilion, herein referred to as the Pavilion, located at 45100 Redhawk Parkway. The Pavilion is located on a 100.9-acre parcel with Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 962-040-012.

Pavilion
The Project focuses on an existing Pavilion at the Redhawk Golf Course, located adjacent to the pro shop.

The Pavilion is an existing covered structure totaling 3,200 square feet (SF) and has open walls. The Pavilion is bounded by the Redhawk Golf Course on the east and south and by residential developments 435

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 6 in all directions. The Pavilion is designated as Open Space in the City’s General Plan. Residential uses to the north are designated as Medium Residential while uses to the east, south, and west are designated Low Medium Residential. Refer to Table 2: Existing Land Uses and Zoning Designations below. Refer to Figure 3: Existing General Plan Land Use and Figure 4: Existing Zoning.

http://laserfiche.cityoftemecula.org/weblink/2/doc/275675/Electronic.aspx (accessed July 2024).

Environmental Setting
Topography
The Pavilion is generally flat with minor sloping at 1 percent to allow for site grading. The approximate surface elevation is 1,156 feet above mean sea level (amsl). The Pavilion and Redhawk Golf Course clubhouse were constructed on a slope, as such, there are retaining walls to the east of the Pavilion and steeper slopes to the west. Site drainage generally flows from south to north.

Biology
The Project site is entirely developed with landscaping and concrete. All existing vegetation at the Redhawk Golf Course and Pavilion are ornamental and subject to removal and replanting. General wildlife species would be consistent with animal species present in urban areas, such as reptiles, birds, small mammals, and other vertebrates.

Hydrology
The Project site is located within the Lower Temecula Creek Watershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC10]:
1807030203). The Temecula Creek is located approximately 0.72 miles north of the Project site and would receive storm flows from the Project site.

Seismic Conditions
The Project site is in an area that is subject to ground motions due to earthquakes as is all of southern California; however, the Project is not located within a known fault zone. The nearest fault is the Wildomar Fault, a part of the Elsinore Fault Zone, and is located approximately 0.54 miles southwest of the Project 436

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 7 site. The Project site is outside of an Alquist-Priolo fault zone. Additionally, the Project site is not located within a California Geologic Survey (CGS) liquefaction zone.1 Flood Zone Information
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) No. 06065C3305G (effective date August 28, 2008), the Project site is located in Flood Zone X. Flood Zone X indicates areas that are outside the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplain (the 500-year flood).2 Infrastructure and Utilities
The Redhawk Golf Course is bounded on all sides by roadways and residential uses, however only Redhawk Parkway provides access to the Golf Course and Pavilion. There are existing internal access roads on the Project site. Further, the Project site is adequately served by all utilities.

Transit
The Riverside Transit Authority (RTA) provides bus services within the City of Temecula. RTA Route 24 operates in proximity to the Project site. The nearest stop for this route is located at the intersection of Redhawk Parkway and Vail Ranch Parkway, at the driveway entrance to the Project site and approximately

0.32 miles from the Pavilion. The nearest transfer point to the Project site is at the Temecula Valley Hospital located approximately 1.12 miles to the northwest of the Project site. RTA Route 24 has a stop at this location. Additionally, this route has a transfer point at the Pechanga Resort, located approximately

1.17 miles to the southwest of the Project site.

1.3 Project Purpose and Proposed Project Characteristics The Project proponent is seeking a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) to the Redhawk Specific Plan and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to expand the types of events allowed within the existing outdoor Pavilion at the Redhawk Golf Course, located at 45100 Redhawk Parkway, refer to Figure 1: Regional Location Map and Figure 2: Local Vicinity Map. The existing Pavilion is located between the main parking lot and driving range and is currently permitted to host outdoor golf-related events such as tournaments and award ceremonies. The proposed Project would allow for additional events such as weddings, banquets, meetings, corporate events, and other private events at the Pavilion. It is assumed that these special events may include amplified music/sound systems within the covered Pavilion. The Pavilion was approved for construction in December 2020 as part of a minor modification. Currently, there is no restriction to the number of events. The Project would allow events any day of the week, but not more than three times per week.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 8 Specific Plan Amendment
The Redhawk Specific Plan will be amended in one location, specifically Section II.B.1.c Open Space and Recreation Standards. The text below shows the proposed amended text with additions shown with double underline and deletions shown in strikethrough:
*Golf Course (Planning Area 36) shall be developed on approximately 182.7 acres a. The golf course shall consist of 18 holes and a club house. An outdoor covered pavilion shall be allowed for hosting golf events as well as events listed below. In addition to the uses permitted in Ordinance No. 348, wedding facilities shall also be permitted upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Wedding facilities may also be used to host private events, including but not limited to the events listed below. • Weddings and related wedding events (e.g., bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc.)
• Birthdays
• Anniversaries
• Corporate Functions
• Community Events
In the event that a similar use is proposed that is not listed above, the Community Development Director shall be allowed to make a consistency determination. b. The golf course shall be completed as part of Phase II. c. See Ordinance 348.2928 for permitted uses and development standards. Refer to Exhibit II-3, Planning Area 36 – Golf Course.
d. Refer to Section II. B. i. Landscaping Plan.
e. Parking for the golf course shall be required per Ordinance No. 348 (6 spaces/hole). f. Parking for the outdoor covered pavilion shall be required at 1 space/70 square feet.

Conditional Use Permit
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is being sought by the Project proponent to allow for additional types of private events, other than golf specific events, which could occur at the existing Pavilion. Under the existing Specific Plan, private events are allowed to occur at the existing Pavilion, provided they are golf related. The CUP would allow other events, such as weddings, banquets, birthdays, community outreach events, or any other private events. No new structures are proposed or would be developed as part of the Project. The CUP does not propose changes to the existing hours of operations, lighting, or parking of the Pavilion. Currently, there is no restriction to the number of events. The Project would allow events any day of the week, but not more than three times per week. Events would be allowed from 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm with all amplified noise ending at 9:00 pm. Amplified noise would be located on the southeastern 438

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 9 corner of the Pavilion. The CUP would allow an approximate maximum of 130 guests, the existing facility is currently permitted up to approximately 144 guests per event. Refer to Figure 5: Conditional Use Permit Site Plan for information related to the Pavilion and proposed tenant improvements.

The Project does not propose any construction nor physical alterations to the existing Redhawk Golf Course.

1.4 Discretionary Actions and Approvals
The City is the Lead Agency under CEQA and is responsible for reviewing and certifying the adequacy of the IS/MND for the Project. It is expected that the City, at a minimum, would consider the data and analyses contained in this IS/MND when making its permit determinations. Prior to implementation of the Project, discretionary permits and approvals must be obtained from local, state, and federal agencies, as listed below:

City of Temecula:
• Specific Plan Amendment to the Redhawk Specific Plan
• Conditional Use Permit
Other permits may be required for the Project but would not be discretionary. These permits, if required, would be ministerial and approved at a staff level.

1a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? 1b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? 1c) 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? 1d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course while reducing the maximum number of events per week and number of guests allowed. As there would be no new structures, construction, or alterations, the Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, substantially damage scenic resources, or create new sources of light or glare. Refer to Figure 6: Site Photos. No impact would occur.

According to CEQA Guidelines PRC Section 21071, an urbanized area is an incorporated city that has a population of at least 100,000 persons or an incorporated city that has a population of less than 100,000 persons and not more than two contiguous incorporated cities combined equals at least 100,000 persons. 445

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 16 The Project site is within the City of Temecula, which is an incorporated city, with a population of approximately 110,682.3 As such, the Project is located in an urbanized area and the following discussion analyzes whether the Project would conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality.

The proposed specific plan amendment and conditional use permit as part of the Project would expand the types of events that would be hosted at the existing Pavilion. Currently, events are permitted to occur at the Pavilion provided they are golf related. There would be no amendments to the development standards or design guidelines of the Redhawk Specific Plan which govern scenic quality, as such, no impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is required.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 20 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES

2. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

No Impact. According to the Temecula GP Open Space/Conservation Element, the Project site does not contain prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance.4 The Project site is a part of the Redhawk Specific Plan and has a land use designation of Open Space with a primary focus on the Redhawk Golf Course. The Redhawk Specific Plan does not allow agricultural uses. Further, the Project site is not under a Williamson Act Contract.5 There are no existing forest lands or timberlands on site and the Project would not convert or cause the loss of existing forest lands. As such, no impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is required.

No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. Although the Project could increase the frequency and total number of events over the course of a year, due to the events not being restricted to golf-related events, the Project would not increase the daily Pavilion venue capacity or increase operational characteristics. In fact, the Project proposes a reduction in the individual event intensity with a smaller maximum permitted number of guests. The Project would not create any new sources of emissions and as such, no impact would occur.

Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As the Project does not propose new development, exists wholly within a previously disturbed and developed area, and would not implement new operations which would impact biological resources, no impact would occur.

As the Project would not physically disturb any land which may contain historical or archaeological resources, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource. Further, the Project site is a previously developed area, and humans remains could not be inadvertently discovered as no new development is proposed. No impact would occur.

6a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests.

Energy consumption by the Project would be a result of transportation energy required for patrons to arrive to and depart from the Pavilion. Additionally, there would be direct energy consumption resultant of the lighting, heating, or other amenities offered during events at the Pavilion. However, the Pavilion is an existing structure and events are already permitted, provided they are golf related. The Project would allow other types of events; however, operationally, there would be no changes to how events are hosted and operated on a daily basis. As such, there would be no increase in the energy consumption on a daily basis, either transportation or direct energy, at the Pavilion and Redhawk Golf Course during events after Project implementation. In fact, there may be a nominal decrease in the total amount of energy resources utilized due to the reduction in maximum number of guests allowed and total number of events per week.

However, this reduction is likely not discernible when compared to what is currently permitted. Although the Project could allow for additional events over the course of a year, these events are generally anticipated to be from local patrons that would be hosting these events with or without the availability of the Redhawk Golf Course Pavilion. The Project would provide an additional venue option for special events, which in some cases would likely be closer to the event guests. As such, no impact would occur. 6b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? No Impact. Title 24 of the CCR contains energy efficiency standards for residential and non-residential buildings based on a state mandate to reduce California’s energy demand. Specifically, Title 24 addresses a number of energy efficiency measures that impact energy used for lighting, water heating, heating, and air conditioning, including the energy impact of the building envelope such as windows, doors, skylights, 456

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 27 wall/floor/ceiling assemblies, attics, and roofs. The Redhawk Golf Course would have already demonstrated compliance with these measures during its design, implementation, and construction and would therefore not apply to the Project.

Part 6 of Title 24 specifically establishes energy efficiency standards for residential and nonresidential buildings constructed in the State of California in order to reduce energy demand and consumption. This would not apply to the Project as the Project proposes no new construction or development.

The Riverside County Climate Action Plan Update establishes a series of energy related goals intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions based on Assembly Bill (AB) 32 Scoping Plan.6 Those applicable to the Project are Renewables Portfolio Standard for Building Energy Use, AB 1109 Energy Efficiency Standards for Lighting, Electricity Energy Efficiency, and Commercial Energy Efficiency Requirements.

The Project would not conflict with any of the federal, state, or local plans for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Because the Project would comply with the Riverside County Climate Action Plan Update measures, no conflict with existing energy standards and regulations would occur. Therefore, no impact associated with renewable energy or energy efficiency plans would occur.

Mitigation Measures:

No mitigation measures are necessary.

Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The nearest fault to the Pavilion is the Wildomar Fault, located approximately 0.52 miles to the southwest of the Pavilion, and is a part in the Elsinore Fault Zone.7 Due to the Project’s location, all existing structures would have been subject to all applicable regulations in the CBC that was approved at the time of development. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As no new structures or development would occur, and the Project would not increase the number of people permitted to be on-site during an event, the Project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects involving the rupture of a known earthquake fault. A less than significant impact would occur, and no mitigation is necessary.
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is located in southern California, which is a region prone to strong seismic ground shaking. The seismic hazard most likely to impact the Project site is ground-shaking due to a large earthquake on one of the major active regional faults. As previously mentioned, the Project site is not located on a major fault, however, strong shaking could still impact the Project site should an earthquake occur at the faults nearest the Project site. The existing structures at the Project site, including the Pavilion, would have been designed and constructed in conformance with the then current CBC, City regulations, and other applicable standards. The CBC design standards correspond to the level of seismic risk in each location and are intended primarily to protect public safety and secondly to minimize property damage. Conformance with standard engineering practices and design criteria established in the then-current CBC would have reduced the effects of seismic ground shaking on the Pavilion and existing structures. The CBC is updated every three years, last updated in 2022 and went into effect January 1, 2023; however, existing structures need not be retrofit to comply with updated CBC standards unless they meet specific requirements, such as being related to emergency services or are critical community infrastructure (hospitals with surgery centers, emergency vehicle garages, emergency operations centers, fire departments, etc.). Generally, the types of updates which occur during the normal 3-year update cycle are minimal and would not result in significant changes to the code, as such, the existing structures, including the Pavilion, would likely still be compliant with the now current (2022 CBC) standards.

As no new structures, grading or development would occur, the existing facilities would have been designed and constructed in compliance with the then current CBC with the intent to resist ground shaking and other seismic forces, and the Project would not increase the number of people permitted to be on-

iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact. Soil liquefaction is a state of soil particles suspension caused by a complete loss of strength when the effective stress drops to zero. Liquefaction normally occurs under saturated conditions in soils such as sand in which the strength is purely frictional. Primary factors that trigger liquefaction are moderate to strong ground shaking (seismic source), relatively clean, loose granular soils (primarily poorly graded sands and silty sands), and saturated soil conditions (shallow groundwater).

A portion of the Redhawk Golf Course lies within a liquefaction zone as identified by the California Geologic Survey.8 However, the Pavilion, which is the subject of the Project, is not located within a liquefaction zone. Additionally, according to the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the Pavilion is underlain with “Rough broken land” which is classified as a bedrock material.9 Bedrock is not susceptible to liquefaction.

Furthermore, the Project is located at an existing facility and would not directly or indirectly cause a potential substantial adverse effect involving liquefaction. No impact would occur. iv) Landslides?
No Impact. The Project site is relatively flat and there are no steep slopes present. The Temecula GP Public Safety Element does not identify the Project site as an area with potential landslide risks.10 As such, no impact would occur.
7b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As no new structures or development would occur, the Project would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. No impact would occur.
7c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on - or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
Less than Significant Impact. As previously discussed, the Project site is not in an area prone to liquefaction or landslide. Lateral spreading is a phenomenon in which soils move laterally during seismic

The amount of movement depends on the soil strength, duration and intensity of seismic shaking, topography, and free face geometry. Subsidence is a general term for downward vertical movement of the Earth's surface, which can be caused by both natural processes and human activities. Subsidence involves little or no horizontal movement. It is often caused by the removal of ground water, oil, natural gas, or mineral resources out of the ground by pumping, fracking, or mining activities. The Project does not propose the extraction of any of these resources nor are any of the uses located in the immediate vicinity of the Project. Further, the Temecula GP Public Safety Element does not indicate that the Project site is located within an area that is known to be at risk of lateral spreading or subsidence. As such, impacts would be less than significant. 7d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less than Significant Impact. When certain soil types are exposed to water, mainly those with moderate to high clay content, they can deform and either shrink or swell, depending on their particular physical characteristics. Such soils can expose overlying buildings to differential settlement and other structural damage. Soils that typically exhibit these behaviors are clayey soils.

As previously discussed, the soils at the Pavilion site consist of bedrock materials. As the Pavilion site does not contain a majority or a significant amount of clayey soils, it is therefore not located on expansive soils.

Impacts would be less than significant.
7e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The Project does not propose the installation and operation of septic tanks. The Project is an existing facility and is already connected to a municipal sewer system. No impact would occur. 7f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As the Project would not physically disturb any land which may contain historical or archaeological resources, the Project would not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. No impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures:

No mitigation measures are necessary.

The Project is an existing facility and would not construct new facilities or improvements which would produce short- term emission nor would it cause operational changes which would increase long-term emissions from the existing facility. In fact, the Project proposes reducing the total number of events permitted each week and reducing the number of guests from 144 per event to 130 per event. This would generate a net benefit when compared to the existing uses permitted. The Project would reduce the daily Pavilion venue capacity and/or operational characteristics. As such, there would be no impact. 8b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Less than Significant Impact.

GHG Plan Consistency
CARB 2022 Scoping Plan
CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality (2022 Scoping Plan), adopted December 15, 2022, sets a path to achieve targets for carbon neutrality and reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045 in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1279. The Project would benefit from the State targets set forth within the 2022 Scoping Plan. As the Project would not increase operational impacts, and in fact would reduce the operational impact of the existing use, it could not cause GHG emissions to be increased above the SCAQMD 3,000 MTCO2e/year threshold, the Project would not interfere with the State’s goals for reducing GHG emissions. 463

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 34 It is assumed that a majority of the existing facility’s emissions are from energy and mobile sources which would be further reduced by implementation of current State programs. It should be noted that the Project and the City have no control over vehicle emissions. However, these emissions would decline in the future due to statewide measures, including the reduction in the carbon content of fuels, CARB’s advanced clean car program, CARB’s mobile source strategy, fuel efficiency standards, cleaner technology, and fleet turnover. Additionally, the Southern California Association of Government’s (SCAG’s) 2024-2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (Connect SoCal) is also expected to help California reach its GHG reduction goals, wi th reductions in per capita transportation emissions of 19 percent by 2035. Accordingly, the Project does not interfere with the State’s efforts to reduce GHG emissions in 2030. Furthermore, the Project would not increase the existing facility’s emissions.

Project operations would benefit from the implementation of current and potential future energy regulations including the SB 100 renewable electricity portfolio target of 60 percent renewable energy by 2030. SB 100 also established a further goal to have an electric grid that is entirely powered by clean energy by 2045.

The Sustainability Plan includes several goals for reducing GHG emissions through energy and water efficiency, waste reduction, and embracing cleaner technology. The Project would be consistent with the applicable sustainability goals outlined in the Sustainability Plan.

The Project would not create any new structures, nor would it change the basic function of the existing Pavilion. Rather, it would expand the range of events allowed at the Pavilion, although these are anticipated to be similar in nature as existing golf-related events. Any future event at the Pavilion would be subject to the Specific Plan Amendment, CUP, and existing City, regional, and State GHG requirements.

Further, the nearest public transit stops, specifically for buses, are located at the end of the driveway for the Redhawk Golf Course. As such, the Project would not conflict with any applicable plan or policy in the Sustainability Plan and impacts would be less than significant.

As discussed above, the Project would comply with the applicable State, Regional, and local goals and policies with regard to reducing GHG emissions. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions, and a less than significant impact would occur. Further, Project implementation would not result in any construction-related impacts, nor would the Project affect operational air quality and GHG impacts on a daily basis. No mitigation measures would be required.

Mitigation Measures:

No mitigation measures are necessary.

Less Than Significant Impact. The routine use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials is primarily associated with industrial uses that require such materials for operations or produce hazardous wastes as by-products of production applications. Both the U.S. EPA and the U.S. De partment of Transportation (DOT) regulate the transport of hazardous waste and material, including transport via highway. The U.S. EPA administers permitting, tracking, reporting, and operations requirements established by the 465

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 36 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The DOT regulates the transportation of hazardous materials through enforcement of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. This act includes requirements for container design and labeling, as well as for driver training. The established regulations are intended to track and manage the safe interstate transportation of hazardous materials and waste. Additionally, State and local agencies enforce the application of these acts and coordinate safety and mitigation res ponses in the case that accidents involving hazardous materials occur.

The Project does not propose or facilitate any activity involving significant use, routine transport, or disposal of hazardous substances. No construction would occur and therefore no use, transport, or disposal of hazardous substances typically associated with construction activity would occur.

During Project operations, widely used hazardous materials commonly at golf course uses including cleaners, pesticides, and potentially food waste would be present. The remnants of these and other products are disposed of as household hazardous waste that are prohibited or discouraged from being disposed of at local landfills. However, these would be existing at the Project site and the Project itself would not increase the use of these materials. Further, pesticides or fertilizers which may be used to maintain the golf course would not be used at the Pavilion, which is a structure. Regular operation and maintenance of the Project structures would not result in significant impacts involving use, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous wastes and substances. Use of common hazardous materials and their disposal does not present a substantial health risk to the community . Additionally, the Project site is not included on the list of hazardous waste sites (Cortese List) compiled by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and therefore would not release known hazardous materials due to ground-disturbing activities, as none would occur.11 Project impacts associated with the routine transport and use of hazardous materials or wastes would be less than significant.
9b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
No Impact. The Project site is not identified as a hazardous waste site with either an active or past occurrence.12, 13 Only one site listed on EnviroStor is within 1 mile of the Pavilion and is classified as having no action required. This site is the Redhawk High School No. 3 and Middle School No. 5 (located at Pala Road and Pachanga Road).

Although typical hazardous materials associated with open space uses, these hazardous materials would not be used in large amounts such that they would create a significant hazard involving the release of these materials. Because the Project does not propose alterations to existing facilities, there would be no impacts related to structures with asbestos-containing materials or lead-based paint.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 37 Potential hazards to the public or the environment could be introduced through the accidental upset or release of hazardous materials caused by accidental spillage of hazardous materials used during construction phases, or as a result of the exposure of contaminated soil during grading activities . However, the Project does not propose any construction and therefore no impact would occur. 9c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? No Impact. The closest schools to the Project site are Pauba Valley Elementary School (33125 Regina Drive, Temecula) and Great Oak High School (32400 Camino San Dimas, Temecula), each located immediately adjacent to the Redhawk Golf Course on the northeast and southern boundary of the Redhawk Golf Course, respectively. Additionally, Helen Hunt Jackson Elementary School (32400 Camino San Dimas, Temecula), and Redhawk Elementary School (32045 Cam San Jose, Temecula), are located within

0.25 miles of the boundary of the Redhawk Golf Course. The closest school to the Pavilion, which the Project is focused on, is Redhawk Elementary School which is located approximately 0.32 miles west of the center of the Pavilion. Additionally, according to the Temecula GP Growth Management/ Public Facilities Element, no schools are proposed within the immediate vicinity of the Project site. The Project does not propose the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course.

Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. Therefore, the Project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. No impact would occur. 9d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
No Impact. As previously discussed in Impact 9a, the Project site is not included on the list of hazardous waste sites (Cortese List) compiled by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and therefore would not release known hazardous materials due to ground-disturbing activities. No impact would occur.
9e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working i n the project area? No Impact. The nearest airport to the Project site is the French Valley Airport (37600 Sky Canyon Drive, Murrieta), and is located approximately 6.7 miles northwest of the Project site. The Project site is not located within the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the French Valley Airport and would therefore 467

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 38 not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the Project area.14 Therefore, no impact would occur.
9f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact. Refer to Section 20, Wildfire. Additionally, the Project does not propose alterations to the City’s existing circulation network nor propose the implementation of incompatible land uses which could possibly interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course.

However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As such, no impact would occur, and no mitigation is necessary.
9g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
No Impact. Refer to Section 20, Wildfire. The Project site is not located within a very high fire hazard severity zone and is located within a developed and urban portion of the City. As such, the Project would not expose people or structures to a risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas. No impact would occur, and no mitigation is necessary.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 40 The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As the Project would not require any construction which could generate polluted water runoff, nor would it alter the operations of the Redhawk Golf Course which could generate polluted water runoff, no impact would occur. 10b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?
No Impact. As previously discussed, the Project would not cause operational changes which would alter the manner at which the special events are operated. As such, there would be no increases in the amount of water which would be utilized by special events after Project implementation. As the Redhawk Golf Course is currently adequately served by the Rancho California Water District (RCWD), who receives water from the Temecula Valley Groundwater Basin and the State Water Project (SWP), the Project would be adequately served after Project implementation. Additionally, the proposed uses are consistent with the existing use which was evaluated in the RCWD’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). As such, the Project would not substantially decrease groundwater supplies. Further, the Project would not interfere substantially with groundwater recharge by increasing the amount of impervious surface area at the Project site. No impact would occur.
10c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
i) Result in substantial erosion or siltation on - or off-site? ii) Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite?
iii) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
iv) Impede or redirect flood flows?
No Impact. The Project does not propose any physical alterations to the Redhawk Golf Course or the Pavilion where special events would be hosted. The Project would expand the types of special events which could be hosted at the Pavilion; however, these events would be hosted consistently with the existing special events which do not cause temporary drainage pattern alterations while occurring. As no new structures, or other types of physical alterations would occur as a result of Project implementation, no impact would occur.
470

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 41 10d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation?
No Impact. The Project site is located approximately 24 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ana Mountain range lies between the Project site and the Pacific Ocean. Given the distance from the coast and the presence of the Santa Ana Mountains, the potential for the Project site to be inundated by tsunami is extremely low. The nearest lake or other large water body is Vail Lake, approximately 5.77 miles east-northeast of the Redhawk Golf Course. Given the distance from this reservoir, there is no potential for seiche to impact the Project site. As previously noted, the Project site is FEMA Flood Zone X, which indicates areas that are outside the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplain. Additionally, the Project site is not located within the Vail Lake Dam inundation area, and therefore is not at risk of inundation as a result of dam breach.15 The Project site is not at risk of inundation as a result of tsunami, seiche, or dam breach, nor is it located within a flood hazard area. No impact would occur. 10e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
No Impact. As previously discussed, in Impact 10b, the Project site would not increase the water demand at the Redhawk Golf Course and would be operated consistently with the existing uses, which were evaluated in the RCWD 2020 UWMP. As a result, the Project would not substantially decrease groundwater supplies nor interfere with groundwater recharge.

The objective of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) is sustainable groundwater management in a manner that prevents significant and unreasonable impacts to groundwater basins in California. Under SGMA, each high and medium-priority basin, as identified by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), is required to have a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) that will be responsible for groundwater management and development of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP ).

The Temecula Valley Groundwater Basin is not listed as a high priority basin and therefore does not have a GSP developed nor implemented. The Project would not increase the amount of impervious surface area at the Project site, which limits the ability for water to infiltrate and potentially recharge groundwater sources. As such, no impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures:

No mitigation measures are necessary.

No Impact. The Project does not propose any physical alterations to the Redhawk Golf Course or the Pavilion where special events would be hosted. The Project would expand the types of special events which could be hosted at the Pavilion. No new structures would be constructed, and no new developments would occur, as such, the Project would not physically divide an established community.

No impact would occur.
11b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? No Impact. The Project proposes an amendment to the Redhawk Specific Plan to allow for different types of special events to be hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course. This amendment to the Redhawk Specific Plan would not alter the land uses allowed at any location within the Redhawk Specific Plan, nor would it require a general plan amendment to alter the general plan land use designations for parcel s within the Specific Plan area or City.

SCAG 2024-2050 RTP/SCS
On September 30, 2008, SB 375 was passed to help achieve AB 32 goals related to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) through regulation of cars and light trucks.16 SB 375 aligns three policy areas of importance to local government: (1) regional long-range transportation plans and investments, (2) regional allocation of the obligation for cities and counties to zone for housing, and (3) a process to achieve GHG emissions reductions targets for the transportation sector. It establishes a process for CARB to develop GHG emissions reductions targets for each region (as opposed to individual local governments or households). SB 375 also requires MPOs to prepare an SCS within the RTP that guides growth while taking into account the transportation, housing, environmental, and economic needs of the region.

Every four years, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) updates Connect SoCal, the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The most recent RTP/SCS

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 43 named the Connect SoCal 2024, outlines a vision for a more resilient and equitable future and contains investment, policies and strategies for achieving the region’s shared goals through 2050. Connect SoCal 2024 includes elements that are organized within the pillars of Mobility, Communities, Environment and Economy. These goals are not mutually exclusive, they are mutually reinforcing. For example, the decisions and actions taken to achieve mobility goals can also help to achieve and support environmental goals. Connect SoCal 2024 was approved by SCAG’s Regional Council in April 2024.17 The goals of the 2024-2050 RTP/SCS were reviewed, and none were determined to be relevant or applicable to the Project. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with the RTP/SCS.

City of Temecula General Plan
Land Use Element
The Land Use Plan for Temecula addresses the manner in which the City will grow over the next 20 years.

Land uses are classified and mapped, showing where the City anticipates residential, commercial and industrial development, and identifying areas set aside for community purposes, such as parks, schools, and open spaces. The Plan also includes provisions allowing high-quality, well-designed mixed-use projects adjacent to the I-15 Corridor and provides standards for the preservation of several rural areas unique to Temecula that help to define the City’s character. At the same time, the Plan outlines measures the City can take to preserve single-family neighborhoods, conserve natural and aesthetic resources, establish a long-term role for Old Town within the fabric of the community, and ensure that regional land use and transportation planning decisions have positive benefits for the City.

The Project meets the applicable land use goals because the Project proposes land uses consistent with the zoning and Temecula GP Land Use Element designations of open space, refer to Table 3: General Plan Land Use Goal and Policy Consistency Analysis.

Table 3: General Plan Land Use Goal and Policy Consistency Analysis Applicable General Plan Goal and Policy Project Consistency Land Use Element
Land Use Goal 1 – A diverse and integrated mix of
residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses.

Consistent: The Project is located at an existing golf course (open space/recreational) which is located immediately adjacent to residential uses and within close proximity to commercial/retail uses. As such, there would be a diverse and integrated mix of land uses within close proximity to each other.

Land Use Policy 1.6 – Encourage flexible zoning techniques in appropriate locations to encourage mixed use
development, preserve natural features, achieve
innovative site design, achieve a range of transition of densities, provide open space and recreation facilities, and/or provide necessary amenities and facilities.

Consistent: The Project is located at an existing golf course which provides recreational and open space uses for adjacent uses. The Project would allow for additional types of special events to be hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course which would increase the use of the Golf Course beyond golf-related events and would therefore expand recreational/open space opportunities in the City.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 44 Applicable General Plan Goal and Policy Project Consistency Land Use Goal 5 – A land use pattern that protects and
enhances residential neighborhoods.

Consistent: The Project is located within the Redhawk Specific Plan which provided a significant number of residential uses when it was originally implemented. As part of this Specific Plan, a golf course was designed to be a central feature within the residential communities and neighborhoods. The Project would not alter the golf course nor its intended function as a centerpiece for the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Land Use Policy 5.1 – Consider the compatibility of
proposed projects on surrounding uses in terms of the size and configuration of buildings, use of materials and
landscaping, preservation of existing vegetation and
landform, the location of access routes, noise impacts, traffic impacts, and other environmental conditions
Consistent: The Project would allow for additional types of special events which could be hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course.

Special events are already hosted at the golf course, provided they are golf related. While amplified voice and music are already allowed, and would continue to be allowed, a noise study was prepared, refer to Appendix A.

Noise Element
Noise Goal 2 – Minimize transfer of noise impacts
between adjacent land uses.

Consistent: The Project analyzed noise impacts resultant of special events hosted at the golf course and modeled noise levels at adjacent land uses. As a result, the Project would implement MM NOI-1 which would limit the transfer of noise from the Project site to adjacent land uses. This would further ensure that operations at the Project site are continued to be conducted in compliance with the City noise ordinances and standards.

Noise Policy 2.1 – Limit the maximum permitted noise
levels crossing property lines and impacting adjacent land uses.

Noise Goal 3 – Minimize the impact of noise levels
throughout the community through land use planning.

Noise Policy 3.1 – Enforce and maintain acceptable noise limit standards.

Noise Policy 3.4 – Evaluate potential noise conflicts for individual sites and projects, and require mitigation of all significant noise impacts as a condition of project
approval.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary.

According to the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975, Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs) were designated based on regional or statewide importance. As such, existing land uses are not considered in classifying MRZs, so a MRZ may be classified despite already being developed for other uses even though this renders them unsuitable for mining. The State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) establishes a priority list by the following classification criteria:
• MRZ-1: Areas where adequate geologic information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or that there is a small likelihood of the presence of mineral deposits. • MRZ-2a: Areas where the available geologic data shows that there are significant measured or indicated deposits present, which means this land is of prime importance in mining, or • MRZ-2b: that there is an inferred likelihood of significant mineral deposits as indicated by limited sampling.
• MRZ-3a: Areas containing known mineral deposits that have moderate potential for mineral deposits and may be reclassified as MRZ-2.
• MRZ-3b: Areas containing inferred mineral deposits based on plausible evidence of the geologic settings.
• MRZ-4: Areas where there is not enough geologic information available to determine the presence or absence of mineral resources. This indicated limited knowledge and it does not imply that there is a small likelihood of mineral deposits.

According to the Temecula GP Open Space/Conservation Element, the City is classified as MRZ-3a. MRZ-3 areas contain sedimentary deposits that have the potential to supply sand and gravel for concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, these areas are not considered to contain deposits of significant 475

A Noise Analysis was completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. on July 29, 2024, for the Project and is available as Appendix A to this Draft IS/MND. To determine ambient noise levels in the Project area, three 10-minute noise measurements were taken using a Larson Davis SoundExpert® LxT Sound Level Meter between 2:10 p.m. and 3:17 p.m. on June 15, 2024. Additionally, four 10-minute measurements were taken at an event at the Redhawk Golf Course which had amplified music. These measurements were taken with the same sound meter between 8:05 p.m. and 8:59 p.m. on June 15, 2024. Noise measurements Short Term-1 (ST-1), ST-2, and ST-3 were used to establish ambient noise levels.

Measurements were then taken again at these three locations and a fourth location, ST-4, closer to the amplified music. Table 4: Noise Measurements provides the noise levels measured at these locations.

See Appendix A for noise measurement results. 13a) Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project would allow for weddings, banquets, meetings, corporate events, and other private events at the Pavilion that would produce noise from amplified music and crowd noise. Private events would be allowed any day of the week, but not more than three times per week, with all amplified music ending at 9:00 p.m. This is a reduction when compared to the currently permitted use. The DJ and speaker system are assumed to be setup in the southeastern corner of the Pavilion, based on Applicant communication. Mobile musicians (e.g., guitarist, violinist, etc.) may also perform at private events along the grass area immediately east of the Pavilion with a speaker setup in the southernmost portion of the Pavilion area. However, the mobile musicians and the DJ would perform exclusively (not concurrently), and the DJ music/speaker noise is usually the loudest. Thus, DJ music/speaker noise was conservatively modeled and analyzed in the noise analysis as a worst-case condition (Appendix A).

The primary noise sources from private events at the Pavilion are amplified music and crowd noise.

Pavilion event noise was modeled with the SoundPLAN software. SoundPLAN allows computer simulations of noise situations, and creates noise contour maps using reference noise levels, topography, point and area noise sources, mobile noise sources, and intervening structures.

As shown in Table 4 above, the measured noise level from the amplified music/speaker system at the Pavilion is 74.6 dBA at 140 feet (ST-4). One point source representing the DJ speaker system was modeled in SoundPLAN in the southeastern corner of the Pavilion. The point source was oriented in a northwest direction consistent with the observed condition by Kimley-Horn on June 15, 2024. One area source representing crowd noise covering the entire Pavilion area was modeled using a reference noise level of 89 dBA at 3 feet. Refer to Appendix A for methodologies.

Event noise levels at the Pavilion would range from approximately 31.5 dBA to 64.7 dBA at the surrounding residences and would not exceed the City’s 65 dBA noise standard. In addition, interior noise levels would reach a maximum of 38.7 dBA at the surrounding residential uses and would not exceed the City’s 45 dBA interior noise standard, refer to Table 5: Pavilion Event Noise Levels. However, due to the variability of speaker noise levels (i.e., DJ’s can set or increase speaker noise to their desired level ) and the general difficulty in managing or controlling crowd noise, it is recommended the maximum noise level from amplified speakers at the Pavilion be limited to 84 dBA at a distance of 50 feet; see Mitigation Measure (MM) NOI-1. This maximum speaker noise level would ensure the surrounding residences are not exposed to noise levels above the City’s noise standards.

Notes:

1. Interior noise levels were calculated assuming an exterior-interior sound reduction of 26 dBA from standard construction practices, per Barbara Locher, et al., Differences between Outdoor and Indoor Sound Levels for Open, Tilted, and Closed Windows, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, January 2018.

2. Refer to Figure 3 of Appendix A for a map showing the locations of each receptor.

Source: SoundPLAN version 9.0. See Appendix A for noise modeling data and results.

While modeled data and measured noise levels indicate that the Project would not exceed City thresholds for noise impacts, due to the variability of amplified music, there is a possibility for noise levels to exceed these thresholds. As a result, MM NOI-1 would be implemented, and impacts would be less than significant.

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 50 Mitigation Measures
MM NOI-1 In order to comply with the City of Temecula Noise Ordinance, noise levels from amplified speakers shall be limited to a maximum of 84 dBA Leq at a distance of 50 feet, and the speaker location shall be limited to the southeast corner of the Pavilion. A designated golf course representative/event coordinator shall complete a noise measurement at 50 feet downstream from (or directly in front of) the amplified speakers and ensure the noise level does not exceed 84 dBA Leq. A noise meter or cellular device-based decibel meter application shall be utilized to complete the noise measurement and adjust the speaker output volume.

The speaker volume shall be adjusted to ensure that the maximum permissible noise level of 84 dBA Leq is not exceeded. The designated golf course representative/event coordinator shall maintain a logbook documenting the date and time of calibration (84 dBA at 50 feet) for each event that occurs. The designated golf course representative/event coordinator shall maintain each record for 90 days from the date of calibration. Upon request by the City of Temecula Code Enforcement, and only after the filing of a formal noise complaint by an adjacent resident, the logbook shall be provided to the City for verification. 13b) Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? No Impact. The Project does not propose construction activities or alterations to existing operations which would generate groundborne vibration or noise. Noise generated as a result of the Project would propagate through the air from amplified speakers. As the Project would not generate groundborne vibrations, no impact would occur.
13c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in th e project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. As previously mentioned in Impact 9e, the nearest airport to the Project site is the French Valley Airport, located approximately 6.7 miles northwest. Additionally, the Project site is not located within the French Valley Airport Land Use Plan. As such, no impact would occur.

No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As special events are currently hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course, additional employees would not be required, and the Project would not otherwise encourage population growth within the City. The Project would not displace a substantial number of existing people or housing , as the Project would not construct new facilities nor alter operational characteristics such that existing housing would be demolished or relocated.

As such, no impact would occur.

i) Fire protection?
No Impact. The Temecula Fire Department is comprised of 1 Division Chief, 2 Battalion Chiefs and 60 firefighting personnel that serve from 5 fire stations located within the City limits. Plan review and inspection services for development and construction throughout the City is provided by 6 Fire Prevention staff members located at City Hall. There are 3 Administrative staff members that provide support for the implementation and management of the Temecula Fire Department. The Temecula Division encompasses 3 Riverside County Fire Department stations for a total of 8 stations within the Temecula Division. The Temecula Fire Department fire engines are all 4-person staffed paramedic assessment engines which ensures a minimum of 1 Paramedic and 3 EMT level personnel at the scene of all emergencies.20 There are four fire stations within 2.5 miles of the Project site. Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) Station 92, RCFD Station 84, Pechanga Fire Station 2, and Pechanga Fire Station 1. While the Pechanga fire stations are located outside the City of Temecula, the Pechanga Fire Department (PFD) utilizes RCFD

RCFD Station 92 is the closest to the Project site and would likely be the first station dispatched to service calls generated at the Project site.

The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. This would not cause changes to the frequency of events, total number of events (on a daily basis), or cause an increase in the number of people which could attend an event (on a daily basis). As the Project site is currently adequately served by fire protection services, and the Project would not make substantive changes to the Redhawk Golf Course or its operations, the site would continue to be adequately served by fire protection services and no impact would occur.
ii) Police protection?
No Impact. The City of Temecula contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department (RCSD) for police services and staffs the Temecula Police Department (TPD). RCSD handles all criminal matters in unincorporated areas and provides incarceration facilities for all offenders. The RCSD employs officers at the rate of about 1 Officer per 1,063 residents (approximately 110 officers). In addition to the main station, there are two substations available to the public for police services at the Promenade Mall Substation, and a second location in Old Town. The RCSD has a Promenade Mall Team, Traffic Team, Investigation Bureau, SET/Gang team, Community Outreach Resource Engagement (CORE) team, and a Metro Team.21
There are three stations utilized by the RCSD/TPD, the Southwest Station (30755-A Auld Road, Murrieta), the Old Town Station (28690 Mercedes Street, Suite 102, Temecula), and the Promenade Station at the Promenade Mall (40820 Winchester Road, Suite 2020, Temecula). The nearest station is the Old Town Station, located approximately 3.56 miles northwest of the Project site. However, officers responding to incidents requiring police services are often dispatched from patrols and are not always located at the stations on standby. As previously discussed, the Project would not add to the City’s population and would not require the City to hire additional officers to maintain their current ratio of officers to residents.

Further, the Project site is currently adequately served by police services and would continue to be adequately served by police services after implementation. As such, no impact would occur. iii) Schools?
No Impact. The Project does not propose the development of residential land uses, nor would it substantially increase the population of the City. As such, there would not be any increased demands on schools within the City. No impact would occur.

The City of Temecula Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines provide a standard format and methodology for assessing potential effects on traffic and circulation from proposed developments, specifically regarding their consistency with the Temecula GP. There are several exemptions for Projects requiring the preparation of a GP Consistency Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) under the assumption that the Project would be consistent with the Temecula GP or for other reasons.

Development projects that are exempt from the preparation of a GP Consistency TIA are:
• Residential Parcel Maps.
• Multi-Family Residential Projects with less than fifty (50) units. • Development Projects of One (1) Acre or less.
• Preschools, Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, and High Schools. • Community Centers, Community Parks, Lodges, Neighborhood Parks, and Religious Facilities. • Congregate Care Facilities that contain significant special services, such as medical facilities, dining facilities, recreation facilities and support retail facilities. • Any use which can demonstrate, based on the most recent edition of Trip Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), a trip generation of less than 100 vehicle trips during each peak hour.
486

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 57 According to the Project’s Traffic Memorandum, the Project would not generate new trips as the Project uses would be similar to those that currently exist on the Project site. According to Table 1 of Appendix B, the special events at the Redhawk Golf Course could generate 86 trips in the evening peak hour. As the Project would generate fewer than 100 peak hour trips, the Project is exempt from the preparation of a GP Consistency TIA and is assumed to be consistent with the Temecula GP. Again, it should be noted that the Project would not add 86 new trips to the evening peak hour; rather, these trips already could occur as a result of the special events that are currently permitted at the Redhawk Golf Course.

The Riverside Transit Authority (RTA) provide bus services within the City of Temecula. The nearest stop for this route is located at the intersection of Redhawk Parkway and Vail Ranch Parkway, at the driveway entrance to the Project site and approximately 0.32 miles from the Pavilion. RTA Route 24 has a stop at this location. The Project would not include construction or other development which could disrupt transit service at this location. As such, the Project would not conflict with a policy plan regarding transit, nor would it impact existing transit in the City.

The Temecula GP Circulation Element identifies several Class 2 Bicycle routes and multi-use trails in the vicinity of the Project, however only the Class 2 Bicycle route along Vail Ranch Parkway and Redhawk Parkway, surrounding the Project site, have been implemented since the preparation of the Temecula GP.

The Project would not impact the implementation of the Temecula GP Circulation Plan as no development or construction would occur which would alter any existing bicycle or pedestrian access nor prevent future implementation of bicycle or pedestrian facilities.

As the Project would not conflict with a plan, policy, or ordinance addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary.
17b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)?
Less than Significant Impact. SB 743 was approved by the California legislature in September 2013. SB 743 required changes to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically directing the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop alternative metrics to the use of vehicular level of service (LOS) for evaluating transportation projects. The CEQA Guidelines were updated such that Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) replaced LOS as the primary measure of transportation impacts. OPR’s Technical Advisory suggests that the City may screen out VMT impact using project size, maps, transit availability, and provision of affordable housing to quickly identify when a project should be expected to cause a less-than significant impact without conducting a detailed study. The City of Temecula has published the Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines (May 2020) as recommended guidelines for analyzing transportation impacts of proposed projects. The City provides screening criteria for CEQA VMT analyses for land use projects which consist of seven total criteria. These criteria are:

1. Small residential and employment projects
o Projects generating less than 110 daily vehicle trips (trips are based on the number of vehicle trips after any alternative modes/location-based adjustments are applied) 487

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 58 may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.

2. Projects located near a major transit stop/high quality transit corridor o Projects located within a half mile of an existing major transit stop or an existing stop along a high-quality transit corridor may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.22 This presumption may not be appropriate if the project:
▪ Has a Floor Area Ratio of less than 0.75.
▪ Includes more parking for use by residents, customers, or employees of the project than required by the City.
▪ Replaces affordable residential units with a smaller number of moderate- or high- income residential units.

3. Projects located in a VMT efficient area
o A VMT efficient area is any area with an average VMT per service population 15% below the baseline average for the WRCOG region. Land use projects may qualify for the use of VMT efficient area screening if the project can be reasonably expected to generate VMT per service population that is similar to the existing land uses in the VMT efficient area. Projects located within a VMT efficient area may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.

4. Locally serving retail projects
o Local serving retail projects less than 50,000 square feet may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. Local serving retail generally improves the convenience of shopping close to home and has the effect of reducing vehicle travel.

5. Locally serving public utilities
o Public facilities that serve the surrounding community or public facilities that are passive use may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.

6. Redevelopment projects with greater VMT efficiency
o A redevelopment project may be presumed to have a less than significant impact if the proposed project’s total project VMT is less than the existing land use’s total VMT.

22 Major transit stops: a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail tran sit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. High quality transit corridor: a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute periods.
488

Redhawk Golf Course - Specific Plan Amendment
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 59 7. Affordable housing
o An affordable housing project may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary.

Based on the VMT screening criteria and the assumed trips generated as a result of hosting additional types of events at the Pavilion, the Project would meet criterion one as a small residential and employment project as it would not generate or add new trips in excess of 110 daily trips. Refer to Table 1 of Appendix B. As previously discussed, the Project is consistent with the existing operations of the golf course special events and Project related traffic would be similar to the existing conditions. Therefore, the Project would not result in an increase in daily traffic or VMT at the Redhawk Golf Course. Further, some portion of special event guests may carpool or use ride share services at a greater rate than what has been assumed for the Traffic Memorandum, which would have a further VMT reducing effect. Therefore, the Project would not cause a significant impact with respect to VMT. A less than significant impact would occur.
17c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or new development or construction; rather, the Project proposes to allow additional types of special events than what are currently allowed. These new events would be operated similarly to those that are currently hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course.

Therefore, the Project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses.
17d) Result in inadequate emergency access?
No Impact. The Project would not alter the existing driveways which currently provide emergency access to the Project site. There would not be other alterations to the Project site or Redhawk Golf Course as a result of the Project. Therefore, the Project would not result in inadequate emergency access and no impact would occur.

Assembly Bill 52
On August 28, 2023, the City initiated tribal consultation with interested California Native American tribes consistent with AB 52. The City requested consultation from the following tribes which have previously requested consultation: Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (Agua Caliente), Pechanga Band of Indians (Pechanga), Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians (Rincon), Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians (Soboba), and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians (Torres). The City received responses from Agua Caliente, Rincon, and Pechanga. Neither Soboba nor Torres responded to the City’s request for consultation.

Agua Caliente concluded consultation with the City on November 15, 2023, stating that the P roject is not located within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area (TUA) and therefore deferred to other tribes in the area.

Rincon concluded consultation with the City on July 30, 2024, stating that the Project is within the TUA of the Luiseño people and within Rincon’s specific area of Historic interest. However, Rincon had no further comments or concerns regarding the Project. Pechanga initially responded to requests for consultation on September 29, 2023, stating that the Project is located within Luiseño territory. Pechanga concluded consultation with the City on July 30, 2024, stating that as the Project had no ground disturbing activities, they had no further comments.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 61 Senate Bill 18
On November 3, 2023, the City initiated tribal consultation with interested California Native American tribes consistent with SB 18. The City requested consultation from the following tribes: Soboba, Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians (Santa Rosa), San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians (San Luis Rey), Rincon, Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation (Quechan), Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians (Pauma), Pala Band of Mission Indians (Pala), La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians (La Jolla), Juaneno Band of Mission Indians, Agua Caliente, and Pechanga. Only Pechanga responded.

Pechenga concluded consultation with the City on July 30, 2024, stating that since the Project proposed no ground disturbing activities, they had no comments or questions. 18a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of th e landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: i) Listed or eligible for listing in the California:

In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe? Less than Significant Impact. Pursuant to CGC Section 21080.3.2(b) and Section 21074(a)(1)(A)-(B) (AB 52) the City has provided formal notification to California Native American tribal representatives that have previously requested notification from the City regarding projects within the geographic area traditionally and culturally affiliated with tribe(s). Native American groups may have critical knowledge of local cultural resources in the regional vicinity and may have concerns about adverse effects from development on tribal cultural resources as defined in PRC Section 21074.

As noted above, the City commenced tribal notification in accordance with AB 52 on August 28, 2023.

Tribal consultation was concluded on July 30, 2024. All tribes noted that they had no further comments or questions and did not request the implementation of mitigation measures. As such, impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required. Further, as noted above, the City commenced tribal consultation pursuant to SB 18 on November 3, 2023. SB 18 consultation was concluded on July 30, 2024, as the consulting tribes that responded did not have comments or questions on the Project. The Project would not grade or otherwise disturb the earth, and therefore impacts to tribal cultural resources would not occur. Impacts would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 63 19e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact. As previously mentioned, the Project site is currently developed with the Redhawk Golf Course and is adequately served by all utilities. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing routine operations of the Redhawk Golf Course. However, beyond allowing for additional types of events, the Project would reduce the total number of events permitted and maximum number of guests. As such, there would be no operational changes which would require the upsizing or improvement of existing utilities. There would be no significant environmental effects related to relocation or construction of new utilities.

Further, the Project would not increase the frequency at which events could occur at the Project site (on a daily basis) and would not increase the demand for water, wastewater services, increase the rate at which solid waste is generated, nor would change operations at the Project site which would cause the Redhawk Golf Course to fall out of compliance with existing local, state, and federal regulations. As such, no impacts would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary.

20a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less than Significant Impact. The City of Temecula prepared and adopted an emergency operations plan (EOP) in 2023 to improve the emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts of the City of Temecula. The EOP identifies components of the City’s emergency management organization within the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The EOP describes the duties of the federal, state, and county enti ties for protecting life and property and overall well-being, and coordinates response roles which must be defined by these organizations to facilitate the ability to respond to any given incident, therefore, the EOP meets the requirements of NIMS for the purpose of emergency management and the Project would not impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Further, the Project site would be adequately served by fire and police protection services.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2025 65 The Project would not require any road closures or cause additional impacts to the circulation network than those that would have occurred as a result of the implementation of the Redhawk Specific Plan and Golf Course. Further, the Project proposes expanding the types of special events which could be hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course but would make no other operational modifications to the Golf Course. The Project would continue to operate in a manner that is consistent with the existing uses at the Project site.

As such, a less than significant impact would occur and no mitigation is required. 20b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?

No Impact. The Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. The Project proposes a specific plan amendment and conditional use permit which would expand the allowed event types at the existing Pavilion located at the Redhawk Golf Course. Furthermore, the Project does not propose alterations to the existing operations of the Redhawk Golf Course beyond allowing for additional types of events. The Project site is not located in an area of the City which has significant slopes, nor is the Project located in an area that is mapped in a wind hazard area according to the Temecula GP Public Safety Element. Further, as previously discussed, the Project site is not located in an SRA nor is located within a VHFHSZ. Overall, the risk of wildfire is low at the Project site and Project implementation would not increase the risk of wildfire. As the Project would not increase the risk of wildfire at the Redhawk Golf Course, no impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary.

No Impact. All impacts to the environment, including impacts to fish and wildlife habitats, fish and wildlife populations, plant and animal communities, rare and endangered plants and animals, and historical and pre-historical resources were evaluated as part of this Draft IS/MND. The Project site is surrounded by existing development and is currently developed. The Project site contains ornamental landscaping which is maintained on a regular basis. Further, the Project does not propose any grading or the development of new structures, nor does it propose the alterations of an existing structure. Operational changes consist of expanding the types of special events which could be hosted at the Redhawk Golf Course and do not represent changes which would affect the quality of the environment. As such, the Project would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment and no impact would occur. 496

("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the ef fects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? Less than Significant Impact. As discussed throughout this Draft IS/MND, implementation of the Project has the potential to result in effects to the environment that are individually limited and may be cumulatively considerable in specific areas. In the only instance where the Project has the potential to contribute to a cumulatively considerable impact to the environment, a mitigation measures has been imposed to reduce potential effects to less than significant levels. The Project is not considered growth- inducing, as defined by State CEQA Guidelines. The potential cumulative environmental effects of implementing the Project would be less than considerable and therefore, a less than significant impact would occur in this regard.
21c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The Project’s potential to result in environmental effects that could adversely affect human beings, either directly or indirectly, has been discussed throughout this Draft IS/MND. There would be no construction as a result of the Project.

Operation of the Project would not involve any activities that would result in environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly . However, related to noise impacts, in order to ensure less than significant impacts would occur, MM NOI -1 is required to ensure compliance with the City noise ordinance. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur in this regard.

Significant Impacts
No significant impacts have been identified that could not be reduced to less than significant levels with the incorporation of mitigation measures.

MEMORANDUM
To: Eric Jones, Associate Planner II, City of Temecula
From: Ryan Chiene, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

Date: July 18, 2024
Subject: Redhawk Golf Course Private Event Center – Temecula, CA – Noise Analysis

Purpose

The purpose of this memorandum is to identify the noise impacts associated with operation of the proposed Redhawk Golf Course Private Event Center Project (project), located in the City of Temecula, California.

Project Location

The project site is located at Redhawk Golf Course in the southern portion of the City of Temecula (City). The Redhawk Golf Course is generally situated east of Interstate 15 (I-15), south of California State Road 79 (SR-79), and south of the intersection of Redhawk Parkway and Vail Ranch Parkway.

The site is specifically located at the Outdoor Pavilion area north of the clubhouse, east of the surface parking lot, and west of the driving range. Single-family residential uses surround the project site at various distances in all directions. The nearest residences are located approximately 300 feet to the west along Via Jaca. See Exhibit 1: Local Vicinity Map for the more details.

Project Description

The existing Pavilion is currently permitted to host outdoor golf-related events such as tournaments and award ceremonies. The project applicant is seeking the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that would allow for additional events such as weddings, banquets, meetings, corporate events, and other private events at the Pavilion. No new structures are proposed or would be developed as part of the Project.

The CUP does not propose changes to the existing hours of operations, lighting, or parking of the Pavilion. Private events would be allowed seven days per week, no more than four times per week.

Events would be allowed from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with all amplified noise ending at 9:45 p.m.

Amplified noise would be located on the southeastern corner of the Pavilion. The CUP would allow an approximate maximum of 130 guests. Refer to Exhibit 2: Conditional Use Permit Site Plan for information related to the Pavilion and proposed tenant improvements. 499
