BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On June 17, 2020, the City of Temecula Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA19-1452, a Modification to a previously approved Development Plan (PA17-0328) to allow
for an approximately 526,762 square foot, four-story, 494 unit, independent and assisted living
community.
On October 14, 2021, the Director of Community Development approved Planning Application
No. PA21-0648, a Tentative Parcel Map (No. 38166) for Condominium Purposes to revise the
three (3) existing parcels into four (4) parcels allowing for phasing during the construction of a
previously approved assisted living facility project on 14.19 acres.
On January 23, 2023, Michael Grant submitted Planning Application No. PA23-0036, a Revision
to Tentative Parcel Map (No. 38166) for Condominium Purposes to revise internal lot lines.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The Revised Tentative Parcel Map will allow for revisions to previously approved internal lot lines
while not creating any additional lots. The parcels conform to the Harveston Specific Plan, the
City’s Development Code, the Subdivision Ordinance, and the Subdivision Map Act. The lots
meet the minimum parcel size requirements of the Harveston Specific Plan. The minimum parcel
size allowed for this planning area is 30,000 square feet (0.69 acres). The proposed parcels will
range in size from 1.69 acres to 8.60 acres.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in The Press-Enterprise on March 30, 2023 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On August 14, 2001, the City Council certified the Program Environmental Impact Report for the
Harveston Specific Plan (SCH #99041033). Amendment No. 1 to the Harveston Specific Plan (SP
13) was approved on August 26, 2003 by the adoption of Resolution No. 03-110. A Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared and certified on December 1, 2020 in
connection with the second amendment to the Harveston Specific Plan that allowed for the creation
of the residential overlay zone. The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with
the previously adopted Harveston SEIR. Staff has determined that the project is exempt from
CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 as the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is in
conformity with the Harveston Specific Plan, as amended. Staff has reviewed the SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR was adopted, showing that: (a)
the proposed project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the SEIR; (b) there
are significant effects previously examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in
the SEIR; (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
SEIR 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 revisions to previously
approved internal lot lines of a Tentative Parcel Map while not creating any additional lots are
consistent with the project that was analyzed by the SEIR. The proposed project is required to
meet all requirements and mitigation contained in SEIR.
FINDINGS
Tentative Maps (Section 16.09.140)
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.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 38166 has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the
Harveston Specific Plan, General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Development Code, and
the Municipal Code. The project meets all development and design standards as required in the
General Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is 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 land division is not land designated for conservation or agricultural use.
The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed by the
tentative map.
The project consists of revisions to a previously approved Tentative Parcel Map on property
designated for commercial development, which is consistent with the Harveston Specific Plan,
General Plan, and Development Code. The revised Tentative Parcel Map would allow for phasing
during the construction of the previously approved project.
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 consideration make infeasible mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
The project is consistent with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report and SEIR and
is not therefore likely to cause significant environmental impacts.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public
health problems.
The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure compliance with the Building,
Development, and Fire Codes. These codes contain provisions to ensure projects do not cause
serious public health problems. Negative impacts are not anticipated.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The project does not propose any development of any commercial or residential buildings, only
the creation of four (4) parcels for phased construction.
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.
All required rights-of-way and easements have been provided on the Tentative Map. The City
has reviewed these easements and has found no potential conflicts.
The subdivision is consistent with the City’s parkland dedication requirements (Quimby).
This map is for non-residential use and will not be subject to Quimby fees.

THE PROJECT IS NOT SUBJECT TO FURTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTIONS 15182
AND 15162 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Director of Community Development of the City
of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On January 23, 2023, Michael Grant filed Planning Application No. PA23-0036, a
Tentative Parcel Map Application, 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 Director of Community Development, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on April 13, 2023, 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 Director’s Hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Director of Community Development approved Planning Application No. PA23-
0036 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in Planning
Application No. PA23-0036, conformed to the City of Temecula’s General Plan Development
Code (Subdivision, Development Agreement).
Section 2. Further Findings. The Director of Community Development, in approving
Planning Application No. PA23-0036, hereby makes the following findings as required by
Development Code Section 16.09.140 (Tentative Maps).
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.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 38166 has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the
Harveston Specific Plan, General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Development
Code, and the Municipal Code. The project meets all development and design standards
as required in the General Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code and the
Municipal Code.
B. The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is 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 land division is not land designated for conservation or agricultural use.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development
proposed by the tentative map.
The project consists of revisions to a previously approved Tentative Parcel Map on
property designated for commercial development, which is consistent with the Harveston
Specific Plan, General Plan, and Development Code. The revised Tentative Parcel Map
would allow for phasing during the construction of the previously approved project.
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 consideration make infeasible mitigation measures
or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
The project is consistent with the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report and
SEIR and is not therefore likely to cause significant environmental impacts.
E. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure compliance with the Building,
Development, and Fire Codes. These codes contain provisions to ensure projects do not
cause serious public health problems. Negative impacts are not anticipated.
F. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The project does not propose any development of any commercial or residential buildings,
only the creation of four (4) parcels for phased construction.
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.
All required rights-of-way and easements have been provided on the Tentative Map. The
City has reviewed these easements and has found no potential conflicts.
H. The subdivision is consistent with the City’s parkland dedication requirements
(Quimby).
This map is for non-residential use and will not be subject to Quimby fees.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director of Community Development hereby
makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Tentative Parcel Map Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15301(k),
Class 1, Existing Facilities).
On August 14, 2001, the City Council certified the Program Environmental Impact Report
for the Harveston Specific Plan (SCH #99041033). Amendment No. 1 to the Harveston
Specific Plan (SP 13) was approved on August 26, 2003 by the adoption of Resolution No.
03-110. A Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared and certified
on December 1, 2020 in connection with the second amendment to the Harveston Specific
Plan that allowed for the creation of the residential overlay zone. The proposed project
has been determined to be consistent with the previously adopted Harveston SEIR. Staff
has determined that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15182 as the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is in conformity with the Harveston
Specific Plan, as amended. Staff has reviewed the SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR was adopted, showing that: (a) the proposed project will have one
or more significant effects not discussed in the SEIR; (b) there are significant effects
previously examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in the SEIR; (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 SEIR 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 revisions to previously approved internal lot lines of a Tentative Parcel Map while
not creating any additional lots are consistent with the project that was analyzed by the SEIR.
The proposed project is required to meet all requirements and mitigation contained in
SEIR.
Section 4. Conditions. The Director of Community Development of the City of
Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA23-0036, a Revision to Tentative Parcel Map
(No. 38166) for Condominium Purposes to revise internal lot lines. The project is located at the

CERTIFICATE OF FEE EXEMPTION
De Minimus Impact Finding
Project Proponent: Michael Grant
Project Title: Lantern Crest Revised TPM 38166 (PA23-0036)
Location: Southeast corner of Date Street and Ynez Road
Project Description: Revision to Tentative Parcel Map (No. 38166) for Condominium Purposes to revise
internal lot lines.
Findings of Exemption (attach as necessary):
1. The project consists of a Revision to Tentative Parcel Map (No. 38166) for Condominium Purposes to
revise internal lot lines.
2. On August 14, 2001, the City Council certified the Program Environmental Impact Report for the
Harveston Specific Plan (SCH #99041033). Amendment No. 1 to the Harveston Specific Plan (SP 13)
was approved on August 26, 2003 by the adoption of Resolution No. 03-110. A Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared and certified on December 1, 2020 in connection
with the second amendment to the Harveston Specific Plan that allowed for the creation of the
residential overlay zone. The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the previously
adopted Harveston SEIR. Staff has determined that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 as the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is in conformity with the
Harveston Specific Plan, as amended. Staff has reviewed the SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR 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 SEIR was adopted,
showing that: (a) the proposed project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
SEIR; (b) there are significant effects previously examined that will be substantially more severe than
shown in the SEIR; (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 SEIR 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 revisions to previously approved internal lot lines of a
Tentative Parcel Map while not creating any additional lots are consistent with the project that was
analyzed by the SEIR. The proposed project is required to meet all requirements and mitigation
contained in SEIR.
Certification:
I hereby certify that the public agency has made the above finding and that the project will not
individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of
the Fish and Game Code.
