Mission Trail Residential Project September 2023
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Page 1
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that when a public agency completes an
environmental document which includes measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects,
the public agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program. This requirement ensures that
environmental impacts found to be significant will be mitigated. The reporting or monitoring program must
be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6).
In compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the following Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Checklist has been prepared for the Mission Trail Residential Project. This Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Checklist is intended to provide verification that applicable Plans, Programs,
Policies, Conditions of Approval, and mitigation as applicable to the proposed project are monitored and
reported. Monitoring will include: (1) verification that each mitigation measure has been implemented,
(2) recordation of the actions taken to implement each mitigation measure, and (3) retention of records in
the Mission Trail Residential project file.
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program delineates responsibilities for monitoring the Program,
but also allows the City of Lake Elsinore (City) flexibility and discretion in determining how best to monitor
implementation. Monitoring procedures will vary according to the type of mitigation measure. Adequate
monitoring consists of demonstrating that monitoring procedures took place and that mitigation measures
were implemented.
Reporting consists of establishing a record that a mitigation measure is being implemented and generally
involves the following steps:
• The City distributes reporting forms to the appropriate persons for verification of compliance.
• Departments/agencies with reporting responsibilities will review the Initial Study/CEQA
Exemption, which provides general background information on the reasons for including specified
mitigation measures.
• Problems or exceptions to compliance will be addressed to the City as appropriate.
• Periodic meetings may be held during project implementation to report on compliance of mitigation
measures.
• Responsible parties provide the City with verification that monitoring has been conducted and
ensure, as applicable, that mitigation measures have been implemented. Monitoring compliance
may be documented through existing review and approval programs such as field inspection reports
and plan review.
• The City prepares a reporting form periodically during the construction phase and an annual report
summarizing project mitigation monitoring efforts.
• Appropriate mitigation measures will be included in construction documents and/or conditions of
permits/approvals.
Minor changes to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, if required, would be made in
accordance with CEQA and would be permitted after further review and approval by the City. Such changes
could include reassignment of monitoring and reporting responsibilities, program redesign to make any
appropriate improvements, and/or modification, substitution or deletion of mitigation measures subject to
conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. No change will be permitted unless the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program continues to satisfy the requirements of Public Resources Code Section
21081.6.

measures, and individual responsibilities associated with the construction.
• Work area limits will be defined and respected. All construction/laydown
areas will have their boundaries clearly flagged or marked before project
implementation and all disturbances will be confined to the flagged areas. All
project personnel will be instructed that their activities must be confined to
locations within the flagged areas. Disturbance beyond the actual
construction zone is prohibited without site-specific surveys.
• Cleared or trimmed vegetation and woody debris will be disposed of in a
legal manner at an approved disposal site.
• If any wildlife is encountered during the course of project activities, said
wildlife will be allowed to freely leave the area unharmed.
• Wildlife will not be disturbed, captured, harassed, or handled. Animal nests,
burrows and dens will not be disturbed without prior survey from a qualified
biologist.
• Active nests (nests with chicks or eggs) cannot be removed or disturbed.
Inactive nests may be removed or disturbed by a qualified biologist.
• To avoid impacts to wildlife, the applicant will comply with all litter and
pollution laws and will institute a litter control program during the course of
the construction activities. All contractors, subcontractors, and employees
shall also obey these laws. Trash removal will reduce the attractiveness of
the area to opportunistic predators such as coyotes, opossums and common
ravens.
• Employees, contractors, and site visitors will be prohibited from collecting
plants and wildlife unless under the direction of a qualified biologist for
purposes of project implementation, relocation, or mitigation.
MM BIO-2: In addition to the general measures mentioned above, each project is
required to comply with the following standard construction BMPs found in
Appendix C of the MSHCP.
• Water pollution and erosion control plans shall be developed and implemented
in accordance with RWQCB requirements.
• The footprint of disturbance shall be minimized to the maximum extent
feasible. Access to sites shall be via preexisting access routes to the greatest
extent possible.
• The upstream and downstream limits of projects disturbance plus lateral limits
of disturbance on either side of the stream shall be clearly defined and marked

• Projects should be designed to avoid the placement of equipment and
personnel within the stream channel or on sand and gravel bars, banks, and
adjacent upland habitats used by target species of concern.
• Equipment storage, fueling, and staging areas shall be located on upland sites
with minimal risks of direct drainage into riparian areas or other sensitive
habitats. These designated areas shall be located in such a manner as to prevent
any runoff from entering sensitive habitat. Necessary precautions shall be
taken to prevent the release of cement or other toxic substances into surface
waters. Project-related spills of hazardous materials shall be reported to
appropriate entities including but not limited to applicable jurisdictional city,
FWS, and CDFW, RWQCB and shall be cleaned up immediately and
contaminated soils removed to approved disposal areas.
• The removal of native vegetation shall be avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent practicable. Temporary impacts shall be returned to
preexisting contours and revegetated with appropriate native species.
• Exotic species that prey upon or displace target species of concern should be
permanently removed from the site to the extent feasible.
MM BIO-3a: Prior to issuance of any grading permit, the project applicant of a
future implementing development project shall complete systematic wildlife and
sensitive plant surveys to document species occurrence. For sensitive species
detected onsite, but not covered by the MSHCP, project specific mitigation
measures will be included in future specific plan approvals to offset impacts. These
measures shall include the preservation of appropriate natural open space areas in
perpetuity via a conservation easement and provision of a non- wasting endowment
to fund the long-term management by a CDFW-approved local conservation entity.
Preservation of open space shall occur at a minimum 1:1 ratio.

MM BIO-7: The following measures shall be performed by each respective
applicant for future implementing development projects prior to clearing and
grubbing within the Project site to avoid impacts to burrowing owl and other
nesting birds:
• Prior to the commencement of future implementing development project-
related activities (including all ground-disturbing activities) during the nesting
season of January 1 through September 1, a nesting bird survey shall be
conducted by a qualified biologist not more than 72 hours prior to ground
disturbance activities, to determine if active bird nests or nesting birds are
present. If active nests are identified, the avian biologist will establish
appropriate buffers around the nest (typically 500 feet for raptors and sensitive
species, 200 feet for non-raptors/non-sensitive species). All work within these
buffers will be halted until the nesting effort is finished (i.e. the juveniles are
surviving independent from the nest). The on- site biologist will review and
verify compliance with these nesting boundaries and will verify the nesting
effort has finished. Work can resume within the buffer area when no other
active nests are found. Alternatively, the qualified avian biologist may
determine alternate appropriate buffer distances by referencing current
species-specific standards and taking into account the conservation status of
the species, species-specific biology, and the nature of the planned disturbance
(e.g., driving past a nest versus extensive grading). In either case, the qualified
avian biologist shall develop a monitoring plan to ensure that the project
complies with all rules and regulations pertaining to nesting birds. Upon
completion of the survey and any follow-up construction avoidance
management, a report shall be prepared and submitted to the City for
mitigation monitoring compliance record keeping. If vegetation clearing is not
completed within 72 hours of a negative survey during nesting season, the
nesting survey must be repeated to confirm the absence of nesting birds.

protocols (Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP, Additional Survey Needs and
Procedures).
• If BUOW are found onsite, the Lead Agency shall notify the Wildlife
Agencies and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority
(RCA) to develop a conservation strategy including a Burrowing Owl
Relocation Plan. If active burrowing owl burrows are detected during the
breeding season, the qualified biologist will establish an appropriate buffer
(typically a minimum 300 feet) and all work will be halted within the buffer
until the biologist observes that nesting efforts have finished. Work can
resume in the buffer when no other active burrowing owl burrows nests are
found within the buffer area.
• If active burrowing owl burrows are detected outside the breeding season or
during the breeding season and its determined nesting activities have not
begun, then passive and/or active relocation may be approved with a
Burrowing Owl Relocation Plan following consultation with the City of Lake
Elsinore, the Wildlife Agencies and the RCA. Passive relocation, the
installation of one-way doors, is not recommended unless suitable burrows are
available within 100 meters of the closed burrows and the relocation area is
protected through a long-term conservation mechanism (e.g., conservation
easement). The installation of one-way doors may be installed as part of a
passive relocation program. Burrowing owl burrows shall be excavated with
hand tools by a qualified biologist when determined to be unoccupied, and
back filled to ensure that animals do not re-enter the holes/dens. Upon
completion of the survey and any follow-up construction avoidance
management, a report shall be prepared and submitted to the City, the Wildlife
Agencies and the RCA for mitigation monitoring compliance record keeping.
Cultural Resources
MM CUL-1: Prior to implementation of each implementing development project

permit application. Previous archeological surveys may be utilized provided they
are no more than five years old at the time of submitting the grading permit
application (survey age requirement based on period of time where site conditions
and/or survey methodologies may have substantially changed; thus, warranting a
new survey).
If any site is confirmed to meet the eligibility criteria in Section 15064.5(a) (3) (A–

MM CUL-5: At least 30 days prior to issuance of a grading permit for an
implementing development project proposing work within undisturbed native soils,
the Project Applicant shall contact both the Pechanga Band and the Soboba Band to
notify each Tribe of grading; to provide a pre-grade report; and to coordinate with
each Tribe to develop a Cultural Resources Treatment and Monitoring Agreement
(Agreement). The Agreement shall address the treatment of known and discovered
cultural resources, the designation, responsibilities, and participation of Native
American Tribal monitors during grading, excavation and other ground disturbing
activities within undisturbed native soils; project grading and development
scheduling; terms of compensation for the monitors; and treatment and final
disposition of any cultural resources, sacred sites, and human remains discovered
on the site. The Agreement shall incorporate the provisions set forth in MM CUL-7
and MM CUL-11. Ground disturbing activities within previously disturbed soils as
described under measure MM CUL-1 may not require notification, monitoring or
an Agreement, subject to verification by a qualified archaeologist, the Tribe(s), and
the City.

document the proposed methodology for grading activity observation. A pre-grading
report shall not be required in previously disturbed soils or those areas where ground
disturbance is limited to invasive plant species removal or planting of native plant
species for enhancement or preservation of those sites, per MM CUL-1. If a pre-
grading report is required, report methodology shall include the requirement for a
qualified archaeological monitor to be present and to have the authority to stop and
redirect grading activities. In accordance with the Agreement required in MM CUL-
5, the archaeological monitor’s authority to stop and redirect grading will be
exercised in consultation with the designated tribal monitor(s) assigned to the project
by the Luiseño Tribe(s) in order to evaluate the significance of any archaeological
resources discovered on the property.

determine the appropriate next steps. Such evaluation shall include culturally
appropriate temporary and permanent treatment pursuant to the Agreement, which
may include avoidance of cultural resources, in-place preservation and/or reburial
on the project property in an area that will not be subject to future disturbances for
preservation in perpetuity. The reburial of any cultural resources shall occur at a
location to be determined between the landowner and the Pechanga band and
Soboba Band, the details of which will be addressed in the Agreement(s).
MM CUL-7: All artifacts discovered at the development site shall be inventoried
and analyzed by the professional archaeologist and the Native American monitor(s)
per the policies and procedures set forth in the Agreement required in MM CUL-5
for the implementing development project. In the event that archaeological
resources and/or tribal cultural resources are unearthed, ground-disturbing activities
shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be
evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet shall be established around the find where
construction activities shall not be allowed to continue. Work shall be allowed to
continue outside of the buffer area and will be monitored by additional monitors if
needed. The significance of tribal cultural resources shall be evaluated in
accordance with the provisions of CEQA and shall consider the tribal values,
religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the Luiseño tribes. All items found in
association with Native American human remains shall be considered grave goods
or sacred in origin and subject to special handling.
The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including all
archaeological artifacts and non-human remains that cannot be avoided or relocated
at the Project site. Native American artifacts that cannot be avoided or relocated at
the Project site shall be prepared in a manner for curation. These cultural resources
shall be prepared in a manner for curation and the archaeological consultant shall
deliver the materials to a qualified repository in Riverside County that meets federal
standards per 36 CFR Part 79, and which shall be made available to all qualified
researchers and tribal representatives. The collections and associated records shall
be transferred, including title, to said curation facility to be accompanied by any
payment of fees necessary for permanent curation. If more than one Native
American Tribe or Band is involved with the project and cannot come to an
agreement as to the disposition of Native American cultural resources, the resources
shall be curated at the Western Science Center by default.

Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan (PRMTP) for approval by the
Community Development Director. Following Community Development Director
approval of the PRMTP, grading and construction activities may proceed in
compliance with the provisions of the approved PRMTP.
The PRMTP shall include the following measures:
1. Identification of those locations within the Project site where paleontological
resources are likely to be uncovered during grading.
2. A monitoring program specifying the procedures for the monitoring of grading
activities by a qualified paleontologist.
3. Deep ground disturbance (8 feet b.g.s. or deeper) within undisturbed native soils
in low to highly sensitive paleontological areas at-depth (shown on Figure 5.4-1
Paleontological Sensitivity Map as L or Hb) in Planning Area 2, Planning Area 6,
or the remaining areas of Planning Area 1 and Planning Area 5 should be
monitored part-time. Monitoring shall not be required where ground disturbance
is limited to invasive plant species removal or planting of native plant species,
without the use of heavy equipment (e.g. scrapers or excavators), for preservation
of those sites or where documentation shows that prior disturbance greater than
nine (9) feet in depth has occurred. Examples of adequate documentation include
“As-Builts”, geotechnical reports, or similar documents reviewed by the Project’s
paleontologist and provided to the City with the grading permit application. Due
to the small size of many of the fossil resources documented from nearby
localities, any paleontological monitoring shall include regular collection and
screening of sediment samples. The monitor shall work under the direct
supervision of a qualified paleontologist (B.S. /B.A. in geology and/or
paleontology with demonstrated competence in research, fieldwork, reporting,
and curation).
4. If fossil remains large enough to be seen are uncovered by earth-moving
activities, a qualified paleontologist or qualified designee shall temporarily divert
earth-moving activities around the fossil site until the remains have been evaluated
for significance and, if appropriate, have been recovered; and, the paleontologist
or qualified designee allows earth-moving activities to proceed through the site.
If potentially significant resources are encountered, a letter of notification shall be
provided in a timely manner to the Community Development Director, in addition

remains are uncovered by earth-moving activities, these activities shall be stopped
and a qualified paleontologist or qualified designee shall be called to the site
immediately to evaluate the significance of the fossil remains.
6. At a qualified paleontologist’s or qualified designee’s discretion and to reduce
any construction delay, a construction worker shall assist in removing
fossiliferous rock samples to an adjacent location for temporary stockpiling
pending eventual transport to a laboratory facility for processing.
7. A qualified paleontologist or qualified designee shall collect all significant
identifiable fossil remains. All fossil sites shall be plotted on a topographic map
of the project site.
8. If the qualified paleontologist or qualified designee determines that insufficient
fossil remains have been found after fifty percent of earthmoving activities have
been completed, monitoring can be reduced or discontinued.
9. Any significant fossil remains recovered in the field as a result of monitoring or
by processing rock samples shall be prepared, identified, catalogued, curated, and
accessioned into the fossil collections of the San Bernardino County Museum, or
another museum repository complying with the Society of Vertebrate
Paleontology standard guidelines. Accompanying specimen and site data, notes,
maps, and photographs also shall be archived at the repository.
10.Within 6 months following completion of the above tasks or prior to the issuance
of occupancy permits, whichever comes first, a qualified paleontologist or
qualified designee shall prepare a final report summarizing the results of the
mitigation program and presenting an inventory and describing the scientific
significance of any fossil remains accessioned into the museum repository. The

MM NOI-2: As part of an application for a future implementing development
project within the East Lake Specific Plan, a detailed acoustical study shall be
submitted that evaluates existing and projected noise levels affecting the
implementing development proposal. Design features that may be incorporated
within an implementing project may include setbacks from the roadway or noise
attenuation that will reduce noise levels to acceptable standards. An exterior level
of 60 dB CNEL in usable outdoor space shall be the noise exposure goal for such
maximally noise-sensitive uses. If such a level is not attainable with reasonably
available noise control measures, the General Plan finds levels up to 65 dB CNEL
are acceptable. In the event that patios and balconies are determined to occur within
the 65 dBA noise contour, noise attenuation shall be required to reduce noise levels
to 65 dBA CNEL or lower. This may include the use of architectural treatments,
barriers, or other noise attenuating measures. Project specific measures shall provide
sound level reductions so that future uses within the Project site are consistent with

MM NOI-6: For future implementing development projects in the East Lake
Specific Plan with the potential to generate construction-related ground borne
vibration (e.g., use of pile drivers, rock drills, and pavement breakers) within 100
feet or less of sensitive buildings, the City shall require the project applicant to
submit a construction-related vibration avoidance, minimization and mitigation plan
to the City prior to issuance of a demolition or grading permit. The mitigation plan
shall depict the location of the construction equipment and activities and how the
vibration from equipment and activities would be mitigated to minimize human
annoyance and avoid damage to buildings. The City shall require binding
implementation measures for the approved plan.

permit or building permit for each future implementing development project in
the East Lake Specific Plan, the applicant/developer will submit to the City for
review and approval, a Construction Management Plan (CMP) that will include
measures to reduce construction-related traffic. The CMP shall include:
1. Control for any street closure, detour, or other disruption to traffic
circulation;
2. Routes that construction vehicles will utilize to access the site;
3. Hours of construction traffic (not to occur during AM or PM peak hour);
4. Off-site vehicles staging and parking areas;
5. Proposed construction staging plan for the Project;

MM TC-2: Roadway Improvements. Future implementing development projects
in the East Lake Specific Plan shall participate in the construction of on- and off-
site intersection and street segment improvements through payment of City of Lake
Elsinore fees, and participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) program. Improvements may include but not be
limited to the construction of new intersection(s) and/or street segment(s), street
widening, striping, and signalization. Where improvements listed below under
Section ‘c.’, or other required improvements determined under Section ‘a.’ or ‘b.’,
are not covered by these programs, mitigation shall be implemented through a fair-
share contribution or as otherwise determined by the City Engineer. The future
implementing development project’s responsibility for its portion of those
improvements shall be in place prior to issuance of a building permit unless one or
more of the following scenarios occurs:
1. A new traffic study is submitted and approved by the City’s Traffic Engineer
demonstrating that the identified intersection improvement is no longer needed
to maintain an acceptable LOS as determined by the City’s Traffic Engineer.
(The City’s General Plan Update allows LOS E within the Ballpark District).
2. If a programmed improvement is delayed, a new traffic study shall be
submitted and approved by the City’s Traffic Engineer identifying
improvements that shall reduce the project’s contribution to the impacted
intersection, street segment or interchange.
3. Improvements shall be based on specific details provided in the Project’s TIA
or new traffic study per section “a.” and “b.” above. Planned and recommended
improvements are anticipated for the following facilities:
