Section 2. Legislative Findings. Consistent with Government Code section 65358, the

General Plan Amendment
A. The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest.
The current General Plan designation for the project site is a Professional Office (PO) land use
as specified in the City of Temecula General Plan. The General Plan Amendment is in the public
interest because it allows for high -quality residential development in an area surrounded by
residential development that would help to fulfill the City's regional housing needs, including the
Citys Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirement. This General Plan amendment
allows for residential use where it otherwise would not be permitted
Section 3. Amendment to General Plan Text. The City Council approves and amends
the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the General Plan Land Use designation for the
parcels within the Rendezvous Phase II project from Professional Office to a Medium Density
Residential land use and amends Figure LU-3 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as
shown on Exhibit A, "Proposed General Plan" attached hereto and incorporated herein as though
set forth in full.

directed to take all steps necessary to implement this General Plan Amendment.
Section 5. Consistency with General Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan,
as amended by this Resolution, is consistent with the other elements of the General Plan and is
consistent with Government Code Section 65300.5. Insofar as other portions of the General Plan
need to be revised to effectuate this General Plan Amendment, the City Clerk is hereby authorized
and directed to make all necessary revisions to effectuate this General Plan Amendment.
Section 6. Severability. If any portion, provision, section, paragraph, sentence, or
word of this Resolution is rendered or declared to be invalid by any final court action in a court of
competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining portions,
provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, and words of this Resolution shall remain in full force
