The T City intends to take an active role in to identify the natural, open space, and environmental resources located the management and conservation of within the City and Planning Area; these resources for the benefit of current and future residents. to address the issues and opportunities that enable a balance between resource conservation and long-term residential and economic growth; to establish goals and policies that allow the City to be an active participant in the determination of the City and Planning Area’s environmental future; and to respond to recent legislation concerning climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which promotes the City’s core value of becoming a sustainable community. 7.1 SCOPE AND CONTEXT State law requires that an Open Space Element and a Conservation Element be included in all local government general plans. The elements have been combined for this General Plan because of the interrelationship of the goals and policies of these elements and the overlap in state requirements. C ITY OF HEMET GENERAL PLAN 2030 7-1 OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION Additionally, a sustainability section has been added to the element to comply with recent legislation concerning climate change and the reduction of GHGs. The section discusses the City’s approach to creating a sustainable community and to meeting reduction targets for GHG emissions, as required by state law.

As a result of both federal and City permitting requirements, the Parcel No. 360-130-003 Project (Project) must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) is the lead agency for Section 106 compliance and the City of Menifee is the Lead Agency for the purposes of CEQA. To determine whether the proposed Project would affect historic properties or historical resources, Applied EarthWorks, Inc. (Æ) conducted a cultural resource assessment of the approximately 43- acre (ac) Project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE). A cultural resources literature and records search was completed at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), housed at the University of California, Riverside.

  • 3.11 Geology/Soils/Seismic/Topography
    Chapter 3 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, and Mitigation Measures 3.11 Geology/Soils/Seismic/Topography The information in this section is based on the Preliminary Geotechnical Design Report (Kleinfelder, 2008.) 3.11.1 Regulatory Setting For geologic and topographic features, the key federal law is the Historic Sites Act of 1935, which establishes a national registry of natural landmarks and protects “outstanding examples of major geological features.” Topographic and geologic features are also protected under the California Environmental Quality Act. This section also discusses geology, soils, and seismic concerns as they relate to public safety and project design. Earthquakes are prime considerations in the design and retrofit of structures. The Department’s Office of Earthquake Engineering is responsible for assessing the seismic hazard for Department projects. The current policy is to use the anticipated Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE), from young faults in and near California. The MCE is defined as the largest earthquake that can be expected to occur on a fault over a particular period of time. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was passed by the State of California in 1972 to mitigate the hazard of surface faulting to structures for human occupancy. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act’s main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. The Act only addresses the hazard of surface fault rupture and is not directed toward other earthquake hazards. The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act, passed in 1990, addresses nonsurface fault rupture earthquake hazards, including liquefaction and seismically induced landslides.

    5. Environmental Analysis 5.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates the potential for implementation of the City of Menifee General Plan to impact geological and soils in the City of Menifee. The analysis in this section is based in part on the following technical study: • Technical Background Report to the Safety Element of the General Plan for the City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Earth Consultants International, Inc., July 2010 A complete copy of this study is included in Appendix G to this Draft EIR. 5.6.1 Environmental Setting Geologic Setting Menifee lies in the northern part of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province, which is characterized by northwest-trending mountains and valleys extending from the Los Angeles Basin on the north southeast into Baja California. The province is bounded by the San Andreas fault zone on the east and extends offshore to the west. The northern, onshore part of the province is divided into three major fault-bounded blocks that are, from west to east, the Santa Ana Mountains block, the Perris block, and the San Jacinto Mountains block. The Perris block, where Menifee is located, is bounded by the Elsinore fault zone on the southwest and the San Jacinto fault zone on the northeast. In spite of being surrounded by active fault systems and growing mountain ranges, the Perris block is an area of lower relief that has remained relatively stable and undeformed for thousands of years. Movements along the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore Faults have elevated the San Jacinto and Santa Ana Mountains blocks and down-dropped the Perris block.
