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.
