MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM IN CONNECTION THEREWITH FOR THE
HARVESTON SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED EAST OF INTERSTATE 15, NORTH OF SANTA
GERTRUDIS CREEK, WEST OF MARGARITA ROAD AND SOUTH OF THE NORTHERN CITY

and mitigation monitoring reporting program accurately addresses the impacts associated with the
adoption of this Resolution.
Section 2. Findinqs. That the City Council, in approving the Application, hereby makes
the following findings:
A. The project as proposed and conditioned is compatible with the health, safety and
welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed and determined to be in conformance
with the City's General Plan. These documents set policies and standards that protect the health,
safety and welfare of the community. Access and circulation are adequate for emergency vehicles.
The two excluded parcels not under the applicant's ownership that are located within the Specific
Plan shall hereby be re-designated to become compatible with the surrounding land uses of the
Harveston Specific Plan. The City hereby finds it necessary to change the Land Use Designation of
the two excluded parcels to ensure the public health, safety and welfare of the City and to facilitate
future development of these two parcels by removing the requirement for a separate Specific Plan.
B. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project proposes similar
residential neighborhoods adjacent to existing surrounding neighborhoods, with inter[ace buffers
and full roadway improvements. The limited neighborhood commercial development is proposed
within a Village Center and is designed to be pedestrian oriented to serve the needs of the
Harveston community. The Service Commercial is west of Ynez Road, adjacent to Interstate 15
where similar commercial and retail uses currently exist along the Interstate corridor.
C. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on the community because it
remains consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. The project does not
represent a significant change to the planned land uses for the site. The General Plan Amendment
is a relocation and reallocation of existing land use designations that conforms to the design of the
specific plan.
Section 3. Approval of General Plan Amendment. The City Council of the City of
Temecula hereby approves the Application changing the General Plan Land Use Designations on
550 acres on property located east of Interstate 15, north of Santa Gertrudis Creek, west of
Margarita Road and south of the northern City, and known as Assessor Parcel Nos. 910-261-001,
