SUBJECT TO FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
UNDER SECTION 15162 OF THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On May 4, 2020, Wingsweep Corporation filed Planning Application No. PA20-
0568, a Tentative Tract Map Application (TTM 37926) in a manner in accord with the City of
Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on October 21, 2020, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law,
at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in
support or in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA20-0568,
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Tentative Tract Map, Development Code Section 16.09.140
A. The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the Development Code, General Plan,any applicable specific plan,and the City of
Temecula Municipal Code.
The maximum number of residential units allowed within the entire Roripaugh Ranch
Specific Plan is 2,015. With what is proposed as a part of this Tentative Tract Map plus
what has been previously approved and constructed as part of Phase I and Phase II the
total number of residential units are below what is allowed per the Specific Plan.
Furthermore, the proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the design requirements of the
Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed subdivision and the design and
improvements of the subdivision are consistent with the Development Code, General Plan,
the City of Temecula Municipal Code, and the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan.
B. The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land, which is the subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the land is
subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land
will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use.
The proposed property has not been used as agricultural land and has never been entered
into any Williamson Act contracts.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development
proposed by the Tentative Map.
The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed
by the Tentative Maps. The proposed Tentative Map is in accordance with what is allowed
by the previously approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan, which allows for 2,015
residential units along with public institutional,public park,private recreation center, and
open space development. Specifically, Planning Area 12 allows for a maximum of 136
residential lots with a minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet and allowable density of 8.3
dwelling units/acre. The Tentative Map proposes 104 residential lots with an average lot
size of 4,579 square feet and a minimum lot size of 3,075 square feet and 6.5 dwelling
units/acre. The Tentative Map also includes three non-residential lots (two open space
lots and one that will be used as a water quality basin). As such, the site is suitable for this
development proposed.
D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with Conditions of
Approval, are either:
1. Not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, or
2. An environmental impact report has been prepared and a finding has been made,
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(3), finding that specific economic,
social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the environmental impact report.
An Environmental Impact Report and subsequent Addenda to the EIR have been prepared
for the project. The project is conditioned to comply with all mitigation measures identified
within EIR No. SCH#97121030. Therefore, the design of the subdivision and the proposed
improvements, with Conditions of Approval, will not likely cause significant environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
E. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems because the proposed development is consistent with all applicable
building, development and fire codes, which include provisions to safeguard public health,
and will be further reviewed and inspected by City staff for compliance with all applicable
building, development and fire codes prior to issuance of any grading, building, or
occupancy permits.
F. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities. The project has been designed to ensure that all setbacks have been met
and that light and air access is available to the extent possible. In addition, the
construction will be required to conform to all state energy efficiency codes as well.
G. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those
previously acquired by the public will be provided.
The subdivision was designed, and the improvements being proposed, including the
residential lots and water basin, will not conflict with existing or future easements acquired
by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision. The project is being conditioned to grant all required easements and
dedications.
H. The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements
(Quimby Act).
The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements (Quimby
Act) because payment of Quimby fees has been satisfied through the Development
Agreement.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Tentative Map:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, it has been
determined that no further environmental review of the proposed project is required (Section
15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations);
1. 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 EIR and is exempt from further environmental review (Section
15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations). Staff has 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(collectively"EIR and
the Addenda"), and has determined that the proposed project does not require the
preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report as none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162)
exist. Specifically, there are no substantial changes proposed by the proposed
project that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; no substantial changes have occurred with
respect to the circumstances under which the proposed project are undertaken that
will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; and there is no new information of
substantial importance,which was not known and could not have been known with
the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted,
showing that: (a)the proposed project will have one or more significant effects not
discussed in the EIR; (b)there are significant effects previously examined that will
be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (c) there are mitigation
measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
proposed project, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably
different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment,but the City declines to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative. The application for a tentative tract map to construct 104
residential lots,three non-residential lots that will be used for open space and water
quality is consistent with the proposed project that was analyzed by the EIR and
Addenda. The proposed project is required to meet all requirements and mitigation
contained in EIR and the Addenda.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA20-0568,a Tentative Tract Map(TTM 37926) for the creation of 104
single family lots, 2 open space lots, and a water quality basin on 16.01 acres for Planning Area
