Document Description
Vista Murrieta Grading Plan Project will process a grading plan permit, subject to discretionary review and thus requiring compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Because the previously approved residential use is 100% affordable (DP-2022-2562 / TPM-2022-2568) and within a Transit-Oriented Development Overlay (TOD), the project design was reviewed in accordance with the City’s objective standards. Grading would require 103,987 cubic yards of cut and 29,367 cubic yards of fill, resulting in an export of 74,620 cubic yards. Grading is expected to take 2-3 weeks and will involve the use of various equipment and personnel, staged on the project site, with construction fencing placed around the site and an entrance along Walsh Center Drive. The project does not include any off-site grading/trenching. However, the project proposes demolition of existing concrete, water well, septic tank, propane tank, railroad, fencing, and posts.
