INFORMATION SHEET
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW & FENCE AND WALL PLAN
REVIEW
DESCRIPTION:
Residential Site Development Plan and Architectural Review: The purpose of the Residential
Development Site Plan review is to ensure the development complies with the City’s development
standards for residential development as established in the Development Code (Section 16.08, 16.28,
16.34, etc.) and/or applicable Specific Plan. The process is intended to promote compatibility in
planning and building design in the community and to encourage implementing developments with a
high level of design quality.
The review will address development of each lot within the subdivision and how the grouping of houses
within the street/block relates with each other to provide a varied street scene. It includes detailed
information on the location of the houses, setbacks, driveways, and landscaping areas. A review of the
architecture will be conducted as part of the application; therefore, staff will review the proposed floor
plans, elevations, colors, materials, and roof plans.
Residential Site Development Plans are not typically applicable for Planned Residential Developments
(PRD’s), Multi-Family applications, and other instances where the review of the units/residences are
required as part of the subdivision application (such as a Tentative Map with a PRD or a Development
Plan application for an apartment/condominium application).
Fence and Wall Plan Review: The purpose of the Fence and Wall Plan review is to ensure fence and wall
locations comply with all Development Code standards as identified in Section 16.22 (Fences, Hedges,
and Walls), Section 16.08 (Single-Family Residential Design Standards and Themes), tentative map
conditions, mitigation measures, and safe traffic sight distance setbacks within the development.
Environmental Compliance: The environmental analysis necessary to comply with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the development contemplated with the Residential Site
Development Plan (RSDP) application is typically addressed in the environmental document prepared
with the tentative map. Therefore, the RSDP is required to comply with the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP) adopted with the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND), Negative Declaration (ND), or Exemption (NOE) from the processing of a Tentative
Tract Map or Parcel Map application. The RSDP will need to demonstrate compliance with any
mitigation measures established from the MMRP. If the proposed project is derived from a TTM or PM
that was approved over 5 years ago or recorded over 5 years ago, it is recommended to consult with city
staff prior to submitting the Residential Site Development Plan application.

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN (WQMP) INFORMATION
The San Diego Region Regional Water Quality Control Board has adopted Board Order R9-2010-0016 in compliance
with the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) Clean Water Act requirement. This Board Order regulates the discharge of pollutants from the County’s
MS4, and requires the County to implement measures to mitigate the water quality impacts of new developments
within its jurisdiction. In compliance with this Board Order, projects submitted within the City of Murrieta for
discretionary approval are required to comply with the Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff
(WQMP). The WQMP addresses post-development water quality impacts from new development and
redevelopment projects. The WQMP provides detailed guidelines and templates to assist the developer in
completing the necessary studies. These documents are available on-line at:
http://www.murrieta.org/engineering/waterqualitynpdes.asp
To comply with the WQMP, a developer may be required to submit a Project Specific Final WQMP. This report is
intended to, a) identify potential post-project pollutants and hydrologic impacts associated with the development;
b) identify proposed Low Impact Development (LID) mitigation measures and Best Management Practices (
BMP’s) for identified impacts including site design, source control and treatment control post-development BMPs;
and c) identify sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the aforementioned BMPs. A template for
this report is included as an appendix to the WQMP. Projects requiring Project Specific Final WQMPs will also need
to include a PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP along with the application package. The format of the
PRELIMINARY report is the same template of the Final report but would be at a much lesser level of detail. For
example, points a, b & c above would be covered, rough calculations supporting sizing would be included, and
footprint/locations for the BMPs would be identified on the tentative exhibit. Detailed drawings will not be
required.
Note that retention is the 1
st
order of treatment and infiltration is Regional Boards preference of treatment.
Projects must demonstrate how infiltration can or cannot be used. Typically, this involves conducting soils testing
which includes infiltration and/or percolation testing. Testing must be in conformance to the standards set in the
Riverside County Flood Control Design Handbook for Low Impact Development Best Management Practices. If
infiltration is not feasible, a project must then evaluate harvest and re-use.

surfaces (collectively over the entire project site on an existing site of 10,000 sf or more of
impervious surfaces).
2
New Development projects that create 10,000 sf or more of impervious surfaces (collectively
over the entire project site).
3
New and Redevelopment projects that create and/or replace 5,000 sf or more of impervious
surface (collectively over the entire project site), and support one of the following uses:
(i) Restaurants - are defined as a facility that sells prepared foods and drinks for consumption,
including stationary lunch counters and refreshment stands selling prepared foods and drinks
for immediate consumption (SIC code 5812)
(ii) Hillside Development Projects - includes development on any natural slope twenty-five
percent or greater.

impervious surface used for the transportation of automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and other
vehicles.
4
New or redevelopment - projects that create and/or replace 2,500 sf or more of impervious
surface (collectively over the entire project site), and discharging directly to an Environmentally
Sensitive Area (ESA). "Discharging directly to" includes flow that is conveyed overland a
distance of 200-feet or less from the project to the ESA, or conveyed in a pipe or open channel
any distance as an isolated flow from the project to the EWA (i.e. not commingled with flows
from adjacent lands).
5
New or redevelopment - projects that create and/or replace 5,000 feet or more of impervious
surface, that support one or more of the following uses:
(i) Automotive repair shops - are defined as a facility that is categorized in any one of the

a projected Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 100 or more vehicles per day.
6
New or redevelopment projects that result in the disturbance of one or more acres of land and
are expected to generate pollutants post construction.
7
Special Considerations for Redevelopment Projects - (a) Where redevelopment results in
the creation or replacement of impervious surface in an amount of less than fifty percent of
the surface area of the previously existing development, then the structural BMP performance
requirements of Provision E.3.c apply only to the creation or replacement of impervious
surface,
and not the entire development; or
(b) Where redevelopment results in the creation or replacement of impervious surface in an
amount of more than fifty percent of the surface area of the previously existing development,
then the structural BMP performance requirements of Provision E.3.c apply to the entire
development.
A project-specific WQMP is required if the answer to any of the above questions is "YES."
WQMP Template can be found at http://www.murrietaca.gov/departments/engineering/water.asp (Revised 8/1/2016)
All projects must comply with the 2010 MS4 permit requirements until the BMP Design Manual is adopted (1/7/2018 +/-)
