A. The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance and the City of

,
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.
Prior agricultural activities consisted of farming on one-acre of the 28.6 acre site, which
ceased in 2002. According to the General Plan (figure 5-4), the proposed project site is not
identified as an agricultural resource, nor is the site zoned for agricultural uses. The project
is not located in an existing environment which could result in conversion of farmland to non-
agricultural uses because there is not agricultural land uses in the immediate vicinity. The
General Plan (figure 5-5) indicates that the site is not land under Wiffiamson Act Contract.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development
proposed by the tentative map.
The project consists of a 71 lot Tentative Tract Map on property designated for low medium
density residential uses, which is consistent with the General Plan. The density for the
project falls below the top of the density range as described in the General Plan.
D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with conditions of
approval, will not be likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
An Initial Study and Negative Declaration was prepared to address any potential
environmental impacts on the site and concludes that the design of the subdivision and the
proposed improvements, with Conditions of Approval, wiff not cause significant
environmental damage or substantially avoidably injure fish or wildlife in their habitat.
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 commented on by the Fire Prevention Division and the
Building & Safety Division. As a result, the project wiff be conditioned to address their
concerns. Further, provisions are made in the General Plan and the Development Code to
ensure that the public health, safety and welfare are safeguarded. The project is consistent
with these documents.
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 in the subdivision to the extent feasible. Prior to the construction of single-
family residences the applicant wiff be required to submit building plans to the Building
Department that comply with the Uniform Building Code, which contains requirements for
energy conservation.
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.
All required rights-of-way and easements have been provided on the Tentative Map. The
Public Works Department and Community Services District have reviewed the proposed
division of land and adequate conditions and/or modifications have been made to the
Tentative Tract Map.

H. The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements
(Quimby).
Appropriate parkland dedication or in-lieu fees wiff be required at Building Permit issuance.

incorporated Conditions of Approval. As a result, the Planning Commission hereby approves the
Negative Declaration for this project.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby

Thank you for your undated notice, which we received on July 21, 2004, submitting prints of the
conceptual grading and utility plans (Sheets CI through C5 of C5) for the proposed development
of property located on the north side of Nicholas Road, just east of Joseph Road, in the city of
Temecula.
We have reviewed the submitted plans, and our comments and requirements are as follows:
1. Sheets CI and C4 ofthe plans delineate the location of Metropolitan's 170-foot-wide
permanent easement right-of-way, which is located along the inside of the eastern
boundary of the subject property. We request that our 54- and 48-inch-inside-diameter
precast concrete San Diego Pipelines Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, also be shown and
identified accordingly and that our right-of-way be identified on these plans. Enclosed
for your information and use are prints of our Drawing 8-69679 and Right-of-Way Map
SDN-22.
2.
Per the proposed grade shown on Sheet C4, ourreview indicates that up to approximately
6 feet of additional fill would be required for the proposed pads for Lots 53 and 56
through 59 on the west side of our right-of-way. Details illustrating the transition of the

precast concrete San Diego Pipelines Nos. I and 2, respectively, also be shown and
identified accordingly and that our right-of-way be identified on these plans. Enclosed
for your information and use are prints of our Drawing B-69679 and Right-of- Way Map
SDN-22.

Per the proposed grade shown on Sheet C4, our review indicates that up to approximately
6 feet of additional fill would be required for the proposed pads for Lots 53 and 56
