all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
The proposed single-family homes are permitted in the land use designation standards
contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan and the City's Development Code. The
project is also consistent with General Plan land use of Specific Plan Implementation. The
site is properly planned and zoned and, as conditioned, is physically suitable for the type
and density of residential development proposed. The project, as conditioned, is also
consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local ordinances, including
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Wide Design Guidelines, and
fire and building codes.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The overall design of the single-family homes, including the site, building, parking,
circulation and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to
protect the health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project has been
reviewed for and, as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all applicable
policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development
will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the protection of the public
health, safety, and welfare. Nothing proposed in the Home Product Review is anticipated
to have an adverse impact to the original Environmental Impact Report or addenda
prepared for the project
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Home
Product Review:
The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan was formally adopted in 2002. An Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified on December 17, 2002 as part of this
effort. Since that time, five Addendum EIRs have been prepared for the project area with
the most recent adopted on January 14, 2020. The proposed project has been determined
to be consistent with the previously adopted Roripaugh Ranch Addendum EIR and is
exempt from further environmental review (Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative
Declarations). Stajfhas reviewed the EIR, the First Addendum to the EIR adopted on April
23, 2013, the Second Addendum to the EIR adopted on March 22, 2016, the Third
Addendum to the EIR adopted on January 23, 2018, the Fourth Addendum to the EIR
adopted on November 6, 2019, the Fifth Addendum to the EIR adopted on January 14,
2020, and has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the EIR and Addenda
to the EJRs. As such, the proposed project does not require the preparation of a subsequent
Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration as none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA19-1018, Home Product Review for Planning Area 16B of the
