INTRODUCTION
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires a Lead Agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the
project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Mit igation Monitoring or
Reporting, Section 15097 of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines provides additional direction on mitigation monitoring or reporting). The City of
Lake Elsinore is the Lead Agency for the Rome Hill Commercial Project (the “Project”) located on Grand Avenue and Kathryn Way (APN 371-150-
017) in the City of Lake Elsinore. An Initial Study has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the Project. Where
appropriate, this environmental document identified project design features or recommended mitigation measures to avoid or to reduce potentially
significant environmental impacts of the Project. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is designed to monitor implementation
of the mitigation measures identified for the Project. The MMRP is subject to review and approval by the Lead Agency as part of the adoption of
the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of project conditions. The required mitigation measures are listed and categorized by impact
area, as identified in the Initial Study, with an accompanying identification of the following:
Implementation Schedule
Verification Method
Monitoring Timing, the phase of the project during which the mitigation measure shall be monitored:
o Pre-Construction, including the design and plan check phases
o Grading and Construction
o Pre-Occupancy (prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy)
o Occupancy (post-construction)
Monitoring Party - the agency/department to which reports including feasibility, compliance, implementation, and development are made.
The Project Applicant shall be responsible for implementing all mitigation measures unless otherwise noted. The MMRP performance shall be
monitored and reported annually to determine the effectiveness of the measures implemented in any given year and reevaluate t he mitigation
needs for the upcoming year.

Biological Resources
BIO-1 The following measures shall be implemented to reduce
potential adverse impacts to adjacent important biological
resources.
Drainage
Water Quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be
incorporated, including the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination Systems (NPDES) and erosion control
requirements from the Regional Water Quality Control Board
to ensure that the quantity and quality of surface water runoff
discharged offsite is not altered in an adverse way when
compared with existing conditions. These BMPs will be
implemented as part of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) in order to ensure that water quality is not
degraded.
Toxics
Measures such as those employed to address drainage issues
will be implemented for toxics. Land uses proposed in
proximity to Lake Elsinore that use chemicals or generate
bioproducts that are potentially toxic or may adversely affect
wildlife species, habitat or water quality must incorporate
measures to ensure that application of such chemicals does
not result in discharge to the lake.
Lighting
Night lighting shall be directed away from Lake Elsinore to
protect species from direct night lighting. Shielding shall be
incorporated in Project designs to ensure ambient lighting
adjacent to the lake is not increased.
Noise
Proposed noise generating land uses affecting Lake Elsinore
shall incorporate setbacks, berms or walls to minimize the
effects of noise on resources pursuant to applicable rules,
regulations and guidelines related to land use noise standards.
For planning purposes, wildlife within the lake should not be
subject to noise that would exceed residential noise standards.
Invasives
Invasive, non-native plant species must not be used as
landscaping materials for development that is proposed
adjacent to Lake Elsinore. Table 6-2 of Volume 1 of the
MSHCP lists the plants that should be avoided.
Construction shall occur outside of the nesting
season or a copy of the field survey documenting
no nesting birds shall be completed prior to
initiating construction within the nesting season.
City personnel shall document the dates of
construction. If construction is proposed to occur
within the nesting season, a copy of the field survey
documenting the absence of nesting birds shall be
retained in the project file.

Biological Resources
BIO-2 A habitat assessment has determined that the site does not
provide suitable habitat for burrowing owl.
· However, due to the fact that the project site is located
within the Western Riverside County MSHCP burrowing
owl survey area, a 3-day preconstruction survey is
required prior to the commencement of ground disturbing
activities (e.g. vegetation clearing, clearing and grubbing,
tree removal, site watering) to ensure that no owls have
colonized the site in the days or weeks preceding project
activities.
· If Burrowing Owl are found to have colonized the project
site prior to the initiation of construction, the project
proponent will immediately inform RCA and the Wildlife
Agencies and will need to prepare a Burrowing Owl
Protection and Relocation Plan for approval by RCA and
the Wildlife Agencies prior to initiating ground disturbance.
· If ground-disturbing activities occur but the site is left
undisturbed for more than 30 days, a pre-construction
survey will again be necessary to ensure burrowing owl
has not colonized the site since it was last disturbed. If
burrow owl is found, the same coordination described
above will be necessary
This measure shall be implemented at least 3
days prior to ground disturbing activities
associated with construction. The notification to
CDFW shall occur immediately upon detection.
Protective measures in the Burrowing Owl Plan
shall be implemented prior to and/or during
construction, as indicated in the Plan.
A copy of the preconstruction survey shall be
documented and retained in the project file. A
notation stating whether the burrowing owl is present
or absent from the site shall be included in the file. If
a burrowing owl plan must be prepared, the plan
shall be retained in the project file. Correspondence
with CDFW shall be provided to the City and
