GPAIPlanninglTem pc Aes Aoripaugh Gen Plan Amendment.DOC 1 Section 2. Findinqs. That the Planning Commission, in recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment (PA06-0009), hereby finds the following: A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the direction, goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. 8. The proposed amendment will not have a significant impact on the character of the surrounding area. Section 3. Environmental Comoliance. On November 26, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 02-111 certifying the Environmental Impact Report for the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan and Related Planning Applications, including the Development Agreement ("EIR"). The Planning Commission finds, based on the administrative record, that the EIR properly addressed all of the environmental issues encompassed within the Specific Plan Amendment (No. 2) to the Roripaugh Specific Plan and that: (1) there have been no substantial changes in the Project which require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project has been undertaken which require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and (3) no new information of substantial importance exists, which was not know or could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time of the certification of the EIR which shows the Project would have one or more significant effects or a more severe significant impact not discussed in the EIR or that mitigation measures or alternatives not found feasible would in fact be feasible or that other mitigation measures or alternatives would substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects. Therefore, neither a subsequent nor a supplemental EIR is required and the Planning Commission recommends that a Notice of Determination (Determination of Consistency) for which an Environmental Impact Report was previously adopted (Sec. 15162 - Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) be filed. Section 4. Recommendation., The Planning Commission of the City of T emecula hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution approving the General Plan Amendment (PA06-0009) to amend the land use map to change the land use designation for Planning Area 338 of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan from Low Density Residential (L) to Open Space (OS), generally located near the future intersections of Nicholas Road and 8utterfield Stage Road (APN 964-460-003), attached hereto as Exhibit A.
