1. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
1.1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
Section 21081.6 of the State of California Public Resources Code requires a lead or responsible agency that
approves or carries out a project where an environmental impact report (EIR) has identified significant
environmental effects to adopt a “reporting or monitoring prog ram for adopted or required changes to
mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects.” The City of Temple City (the “City” or “Temple City”) is
the lead agency for the Temple City Mid-Century General Plan and Temple City Crossroads Specific Plan
(herein after referred to as “Proposed Project”) EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2016091047), and therefore, is
responsible for implementation of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. An EIR has been
prepared for the Proposed Project, which addresses potential environmental impacts and, where appropriate,
recommends measures to mitigate these impacts.
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared in conformance with Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6. It is the intent of this program to (1) verify satisfaction of the required
mitigation measures of the EIR; (2) provide a methodology to document implementation of the required
mitigation; (3) provide a record of the monitoring program; (4) identify monitoring responsibility; (5)
establish administrative procedures for the clearance of mitigation measures; (6) establish the frequency and
duration of monitoring; and (7) utilize existing review processes wherever feasible.
1.2 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Proposed Project is an update to the current (1987) City of Temple City General Plan (Temple City Mid-
Century General Plan, or Mid-Century Plan) and preparation of the Temple City Crossroads Specific Plan
(Crossroads Specific Plan). Following is a discussion of each of the Proposed Project’s components.
1.2.1 Mid-Century Plan
The Mid-Century Plan is intended to guide development in the City and its Sphere of Influence (the “Plan
Area”) over the next 35 years. It also involves reorganization of the 1987 Temple City General Plan into six
elements, which include and/or incorporate six of the seven state-required General Plan elements (the
Housing Element was updated by the City as part of a previous effort), as well as an optional Economic
Development element. The elements of the Mid-Century Plan include: Community Services Element,
Natural Resources Element, Hazards Element, Land Use Element, Mobility Element, and Economic
Development Element. Buildout of the Plan Area under the Mid-Century Plan would allow for
approximately 20,520 residential units (5,220 more than existing conditions) and 3,867,597 square feet of
nonresidential uses (commercial, office, industrial, and institutional; 1,048,100 more than existing conditions).
These land use changes are anticipated to generate approximately 12,778 additional residents and 3,200
additional workers to the Plan Area.

1.2.2 Temple City Crossroads Specific Plan
The Crossroads Specific Plan, which is a subset of the Mid-Century Plan, would establish a land use,
development, and implementation framework to allow for enhancement and redevelopment of the 72.55-
acres covered under the Crossroads Specific Plan (the “Specific Plan Area”) in accordance with the vision,
goals, and policies of the Mid-Century Plan. The Crossroads Specific Plan would act as a bridge between the
Mid-Century Plan and any development that would occur within the Specific Plan Area. Buildout of the
Crossroads Specific Plan, through the year 2035, would increase the number of residential units in the
Specific Plan Area to approximately 1,887 dwelling units—roughly 1,837 more than existing conditions. The
Crossroads Specific Plan also increases potential commercial building square footage to approximately
1,082,061 square feet–a net increase of approximately 454,713 square feet over existing conditions.
1.3 PROJECT LOCATION
Following is a discussion of each area covered under the Proposed Project.
1.3.1 Plan Area
The planning area for the Mid-Century Plan includes both the City and its Sphere of Influence (or the “Plan
Area”). The City is in the San Gabriel Valley in central-east Los Angeles County. Temple City is a built-out
city surrounded by the City of San Gabriel to the west; Rosemead and El Monte to the south; El Monte and
unincorporated Los Angeles County to the east; and unincorporated Los Angeles County and Arcadia to the
north. Rosemead Boulevard, which was designated as a California state highway (State Route 19) traverses the
City in a north-south alignment. The City’s Sphere of Influence includes three areas of unincorporated Los
Angeles County to its north, east, and west.
1.3.2 Specific Plan Area
The Crossroads Specific Plan is a mixed-use specific plan that spans 72.55 acres along a key corridor in the
western end of the City (or the “Specific Plan Area”). The Crossroads Specific Plan is centered on the
intersection of Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard and generally is bounded by Hermosa Drive to the
north; Muscatel Avenue and the Eaton Wash Flood Control Channel to the west; Olive Street and the Eaton
Wash Flood Control Channel to the west and south; and Sultana Avenue to the east.
1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1.4.1 Impacts Considered Less Than Significant
The following impacts analyzed in the EIR and/or Initial Study (included as Appendix A to the EIR) were
found to be less than significant and do not require mitigation measures:

N-1 Prior to issuance of grading and construction permits, applicants for
individual development projects that are subject to CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) review (i.e., non-exempt projects) and that
involve vibration-intensive construction activities—such as pile drivers,
vibratory rollers, hoe rams, and/or large bulldozers (as examples)—
within 25 feet of sensitive receptors (e.g., residences and historic
structures), shall prepare and submit to the City of Temple City
Community Development Department an acoustical study to evaluate
potential construction-related vibration damage impacts. The vibration
assessment shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer and
be based on the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) vibration-
induced architectural damage criterion. If the acoustical study
determines a potential exceedance of the FTA thresholds, measures
shall be identified that ensure vibration levels are reduced to below
the thresholds. Measures to reduce vibration levels can include use of
less-vibration-intensive equipment (e.g., drilled piles and static rollers)
and/or construction techniques (e.g., non-explosive rock blasting and
use of hand tools) and preparation of a pre-construction survey report
to assess the condition of the affected sensitive structure. Identified

Community Development Department an acoustical study to evaluate
potential construction-related vibration annoyance impacts. The study
shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer and shall identify
measures to reduce impacts to habitable structures to below the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) vibration-induced annoyance
criterion. If construction-related vibration is determined in the
acoustical study to be perceptible at vibration-sensitive uses,
additional requirements, such as use of less-vibration-intensive
equipment or construction techniques, shall be implemented during
construction (e.g., drilled piles, static rollers, and non-explosive rock
blasting). Identified measures shall be included on all construction and
building documents and submitted for verification to the Community
Development Department. Prior to discretionary approval by the City
of Temple City for development projects subject to CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) review (i.e., non-exempt projects), project
applicants shall prepare and submit a technical assessment
evaluating potential project construction-related”.

for demolition and grading activities is determined. The construction-
level noise analysis shall be submitted to the City of Temple City
Community Development Department for review and approval. If the
analysis determines that demolition and construction activities would
result in an impact to identified noise-sensitive receptors, then specific
measures to attenuate the noise impact shall be outlined in the
analysis and reviewed and approved by Temple City. Specific
measures may include but are not limited to the following best
management practices:
• Post a construction site notice near the construction site access
point or in an area that is clearly visible to the public. The notice
shall include the following: job site address; permit number, name,
and phone number of the contractor and owner; dates and
duration of construction activities; construction hours allowed; and
the City of Temple City and construction contractor phone
numbers where noise complaints can be reported and logged.
• Consider the installation of temporary sound barriers for
construction activities immediately adjacent to occupied noise-
sensitive structures.
• Restrict haul routes and construction-related traffic to the least
noise-sensitive times of the day.
• Reduce non-essential idling of construction equipment to no more
than five minutes.
• Ensure that all construction equipment is monitored and properly
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations to minimize noise.
• Fit all construction equipment with properly-operating mufflers, air
intake silencers, and engine shrouds, no less effective than as
originally equipped by the manufacturer, to minimize noise
emissions.
• If construction equipment is equipped with back-up alarm shut
offs, switch off back-up alarms and replace with human spotters,
as feasible.
• Stationary equipment (such as generators and air compressors)

and equipment maintenance and staging areas shall be located
as far from existing noise-sensitive land uses, as feasible.
• To the extent feasible, use acoustic enclosures, shields, or
shrouds for stationary equipment such as compressors and
pumps.
• Shut off generators when generators are not needed.
• Coordinate deliveries to reduce the potential of trucks waiting to
unload and idling for long periods of time.
• Grade surface irregularities on construction sites to prevent
potholes from causing vehicular noise.
• Minimize the use of impact devices such as jackhammers,
pavement breakers, and hoe rams. Where possible, use concrete
crushers or pavement saws rather than hoe rams for tasks such
as concrete or asphalt demolition and removal.
The final noise-reduction measures to be implemented shall be
determined by the construction-level noise analysis. The final noise-
reduction measures shall be included on all construction and building
documents and/or construction management plans and submitted for
verification to the City of Temple City Community Development
Department; implemented by the construction contractor through the
duration of the construction phase; and discussed at the pre-
demolition, -grade, and/or -construction meetings.
