The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and mitigation monitoring reporting program accurately addresses the impacts associated with the adoption of this Resolution. L. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. R:/Resos 2006/Resos 06-06 2 I I I Section 2. Findinas. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby makes the following findings: A. The amendment is consistent with the direction, goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. The goals and policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan encourage "a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses (Goal 1 )," "a City of diversified development character where rural and historical areas are protected and co-exist with newer urban development (Goal 2)," and "A City which is compatible and coordinated regional land use patterns (Goal 8)." The Project provides a regional use that is needed in the community and surrounding region. There is currently a lack of medical treatment facilities in the community capable of providing adequate medical care for the general population. The Project integrates public medical facilities necessary for the demand of the current and future population. The Project is situated adjacent to residential uses and a state highway. The Project has been designed to mitigate various potentially significant impacts via an environmental assessment in which circulation, noise, light and glare, biological and air quality has been reviewed the conditioned so the Project can co-exist with the surrounding rural residential area. The Project is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Professional Office (PO) designation, which allows low and mid rise structures that provide uses such as community facilities. In addition, the Project is consistent with the development standards of the Development Code and associated Planned Development Overlay (PDO-9), including setbacks, parking, landscaping, lighting, lot coverage and height. The site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the type of the proposed use. The Project as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). B. The amendment will not have a significant impact on the character of the surrounding area. The amendment is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The Project allowed by the amendment is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and as designed and conditioned the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures because there was an initial study prepared, which identified potentially significant environmental impacts and a mitigation monitoring program was adopted that mitigates potentially significant impacts such as traffic, air quality, noise, light and glare, and biological to a less than significant level. For example, access points have been designed to reduce the amount of traffic leaving the Project site towards residential areas by eliminating left turn options and focusing the primary access points along the state highway. Additional landscaping and berming are included in the conditions of approval to screen the height and reduce noise. The tallest buildings were relocated closer to the state highway, away from the residential area to reduce the appearance of the height; this will also reduce the noise from the emergency room area. Sound blankets are required during initial grading and construction activities to mitigate construction noise. There are conditions in place requiring helicopters arriving and leaving the Project site to utilize commercial and the state highway corridor rather than R:/Resos 2006/Resos 06-06 3 I I I residential areas. Emergency vehicles are required to turn off sirens no less than Yo mile from the Project site. The Project is a conditionally permitted use as has been designed and conditioned (including mitigation measures) in manner that will reduce any potentially significant impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. The building and the site are designed to respect the surrounding area and uses and therefore will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. C. The nature of the Project allowed by the amendment is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The Project is a 320-bed hospital and a helipad. The nature of this use, as conditioned, is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community because the Project is providing a service that is needed in the community and region and it has been designed to minimize any adverse impacts, including health, safety and general welfare to the surrounding community. The Project will actually contribute to the long term viability and longevity of the community by providing additional medical care facilities. In addition, prior to the issuance of any building permit, the California Office of Statewide Health and Planning Development (OSHPOD) as well as the City of Temecula Building Department and Fire Department will review the construction plans for compliance with the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code. D. The heliport is consistent with the requirements described in subsection 2 and 3 of Section 17.10.020.P City of Temecula Development Code. The proposed helipad facility is consistent with the requirements described in Section 17.10.020.P of the City of Temecula Development Code, including setbacks from parks, school and residentially zoned parcels. Section 3. Amendments to the General Plan Text. The City Council hereby amends the Land Use Element of the General Plan to remove eight subject parcels from the Z "Future Specific Plan" overlay designation and corresponding two-story height restriction for a site located on the north side Highway 79 South, approximately 700 feet west of Margarita Road, generally known as Assessor Parcel Numbers 959- 080-001 through 959-080-004 and 959-080-007 through 959-080-010 (Amending Figure LU-4 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as shown on Exhibit A, Existing General Plan; Exhibit B Proposed General Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth in full.) Section 4. Severabilitv. The City Council hereby declares that the provisions of this Resolution are severable and if for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold any sentence, paragraph, or section of this Resolution to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this Resolution. Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
