THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE
AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, Winchester Road (SR79N) and State Route 79 South (SR79S) is currently
under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans); and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 87 (SB 87) was approved by the State Legislature to amend
Section 379 of the Streets and Highways Code, which includes enabling legislation for the
relinquishment for both segments of SR 79 that pass through the City of Temecula and
delegated approval authority to the California Transportation Commission (CTC); and
WHEREAS, Caltrans has prepared a Cooperative Agreement delineating the terms of
the relinquishment from State control to City control; and
WHEREAS, this transfer of ownership appears to be in the best interests of both the
City of Temecula and State of California; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Temecula as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby agrees to the terms of
said Cooperative Agreement with the State of California Department of Transportation for the
relinquishment of those certain segments of Winchester Road (SR79N) and State Route 79
South (SR79S) from the State Highway System.
Section 2. Execution of this Agreement constitutes the City's waiver of the ninety
(90) days' notice of "Intention to Relinquish" requirement contained in Section 73 of the Streets
and Highways Code.
Section 3. Upon recordation of CTC's Resolution of Relinquishment in the County
Recorder's Office, the City agrees to accept ownership, including all rights, title and interest in
said portion of SR 79 described in Article 2 of the Recitals of the Agreement, and to thereafter
operate, maintain and be liable for said relinquished facility without any additional cost to the
State.
Section 4. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed transfer of ownership is
statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that the City's acceptance
of operation and maintenance responsibilities and control of signal timing will have a significant
effect on the environment.
