Linkage, but are within the Elsinore Plan Area of the MSHCP, and therefore, the Project
was reviewed pursuant to the MSHCP "Plan Wide Requirements "; and
WHEREAS, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP requires that the City adopt consistency

the Lake Elsinore Outlet Channel during construction. Long -term impacts
would be minimized through project design features including bio- swales
which would treat potential water quality impacts. All potential impacts to
riparian /riverine habitat have been handled in accordance with the MSHCP.
In addition, no vernal pools exist on the project site; therefore, due to the lack
of suitable habitat, there is a very low potential for vernal pool species to
occur. The project is therefore consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas
and Vernal Pool Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP. No
further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Guidelines.
Per MSHCP requirements, the Property is not subject to the Narrow Endemic
Plant Species Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.3. No further action
regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
Per MSHCP requirements, the Property is not subject to any of the Critical
Area Species Survey Area Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.3.2 of the
MSHCP, with the exception of Burrowing Owl. No burrowing owls or
burrowing owl signs were observed within the project site or adjacent lands.
The project site does not support any active burrows or suitable habitat due
to the heavy soil composition, ongoing mechanical disturbance of the site,
and the surrounding commercial urban setting. As required by the MSHCP,
mitigation has been included to conduct a Burrowing Owl survey 30 days prior
to any ground- disturbance, including removal vegetation or other debris. No
further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
The Property is surrounded by existing development or graded parcels
planned for development. Therefore, the Urban/Wildlands Interface
Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP are not applicable. No
further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
The project biologist has mapped the riparian /riverine resources as part of
the DBESP, in accordance with the requirements of Vegetation Mapping set
forth in Section 6.3.1 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding this section
of the MSHCP is required.
