Findings. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The City seeks to ensure consistency in the design and construction of � Public Works Improvements; B. In 1989, the City adopted the Riverside County Road Improvement Standards as their own for design and construction purposes; C. It is appropriate from time to time to review, update, amend and/or modify the adopted Public Works Standards to ensure the Standards are up to date and meet the current and future needs of the City; D. In 2006, the City created and adopted its own Standards to ensure consistency in construction projects and to meet the requirements unique to the City of Temecula. E. The 2006 Standards have recently been reviewed and were found to be in need of updates, including general clean-up changes for consistency purposes, updates to traffic indices, and minor changes to adhere to the City's General Plan. F. The recent review identified an opportunity to facilitate expedited traffic control plan reviews for Utility purveyors by the addition of a new section entitled "Acceptable Traffic Control Plan (TCP) Standard Drawings for Utility Companies" to the standards. 1.
