Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires that public agencies "adopt a
reporting or monitoring program for the changes which it has adopted or made a
condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the
environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designated to ensure
compliance during project implementation". This Mitigation Monitoring Program has
been prepared in accordance with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code.
Non-compliance with any of these conditions, as identified by City staff or a designated
monitor, shall result in issuance of a cease and desist order for all construction
activities. The order shall remain in effect until compliance is assured. Non-compliance
situations, which may occur subsequent to project construction, will be addressed on a
case-by-case basis and may be subject to penalties according to the City of Poway
Municipal Code. When phasing of development has been established, it may be
necessary for this Monitoring Program to be amended, with City approval.
