Project Application Form
City of Murrieta SWMP

revised to include the submittal of a project-specific WQMP. The revised applications will be available
as of July 1, 2005 and included in Appendix C of the final SWMP.
Initial Study Checklist
The City of Murrieta utilizes the Initial Study Checklist contained in Appendix D.
6.4 DEVELOPMENT PROJECT REVIEW, APPROVAL, AND PERMITTING
For all Priority Development Projects that do not have Conditions of Approval or Tentative Tract,
Subdivision, or Parcel map approval by July 13, 2005, the project applicant is required to prepare a
project-specific WQMP that is in conformance with the Riverside County Water Quality Management
Plan for Urban Runoff, which is Appendix O of the Riverside County DAMP. The primary objective of
the WQMP, through application of Site Design, Source Control, and Treatment Control BMPs on a
project-specific basis, is to ensure that the land use approval and permitting process will minimize the
impact of Urban Runoff. The ordinance that provides the City of Murrieta the authority to implement and
enforce the WQMP is discussed in Section 3.4 of this SWMP. The policies and procedures for project
review, approval, permitting, and permit close-out are described in Section 6.4 of the Riverside County
DAMP.
6.5 TRAINING
The educational program for developers and contractors and training of municipal staff is described in
Section 6.5 of the Riverside County DAMP.
6.6 ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Development Planning component of the SWMP will be
included in the Annual Report. The measurable goals addressed in this evaluation will include:
♦ Number of developments conditioned to meet WQMP requirements.
♦ Amount of training conducted during the reporting period, including number of staff trained.
These measurable goals will be considered in an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the
Development Planning component. In addition, major accomplishments of the Development Planning
component changes to be implemented in the subsequent year to improve the effectiveness of the program
will be included in the evaluation. A reporting form for summarizing this evaluation is included in the
Riverside County DAMP.
