commonly known as Parcel 1 & 2 of Parcel Map No. 19580, City of Temecula, and identified as
Assessor's Parcel Number ("APN") 921-020-075 ("Subject Property Interests.)
The legal description of the Subject Property Interests are attached as Exhibits "A" to
this Resolution and depicted on Exhibits "B" to this Resolution. Said Exhibits are incorporated
herein by this reference. Specifically, the legal description to the portion of the fee interest on
APN 921-020-075 is shown on Exhibit "A." The Subject Property Interests are required for the
construction, realignment, and improvements of Diaz Road, which is a public use.
Section 4. The Project is consistent with the City's General Plan, adopted on
November 11, 1993. The Project would realign and improve Diaz Road westerly from its
existing alignment, beginning at Rancho California Road, and extending until Rancho Way.
Specifically, the proposed Project provides the means for more efficient multidirectional
vehicular traffic flow at the intersection of Diaz Road and Rancho California Road, and at the
intersection of Diaz Road and Rancho Way. These improvements will further the public health
and safety by ensuring adequate traffic circulation in this area and, thus, will prevent
unacceptable traffic congestion and unsafe conditions. The Project is also necessary for the
public health and safety because it will ensure that traffic circulation and the level of service are
maintained at the standard set forth in the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan. The
Project is also necessary to meet the demands of anticipated increased traffic volumes in the
area resulting from recent and proposed development in the vicinity of the Project area.
