Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On May 3, 2022, Woodside Homes filed Planning Application No. PA22-0495 a
Home Product Review (Development Plan) 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 19, 2022, 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. PA22-0495,
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 Home
Product Review Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Development Plan, Development Code Section 17.05.0101
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with
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 EIR Addendums 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 Addendum 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, "Addenda'), and has determined that the proposed project is consistent
with the EIR and Addenda as the proposed project merely implements the development that
was already contemplated and analyzed by the EIR and Addenda. The EIR and Addenda
analyzed the impacts of the construction of single family homes on 23 lots of Planning Area
20B. 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.
Additionally, the proposed project does not require the preparation of an addendum to the
EIR as there are no changes or additions to the proposed project from what was analyzed
by the EIR and the Addenda. Therefore, no further environmental review is required as all
environmental impacts of the proposed project were analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated as
set forth in the EIR and Addenda. Moreover, the mitigation measures imposed as part of
the EIR and Addenda remain valid and applicable to the proposed project.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA22-0495, Home Product Review for Planning Area 20B of the
Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to allow for four (4) unique detached single-family plans with
three (3) architectural styles consisting of 23 lots, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth
on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning Commission
this 19th day of October, 2022.
