Section 2. Findinas. That the Planning Commission, in recommending approval of
the Specific Plan Amendment No.2 (PA04-0341), hereby finds the following:
A. The Specific Plan amendment is consistent with the general plan.
Planning Application No. PA06-0009 is a General Plan Amendment to change the General
Plan land use designation for Planning Area 338 of the Roripaugh Specific Plan from Low
Density Residential (L) to Open Space (OS). The proposed Specific Plan Amendment to
change the Specific Plan land use designation for Planning Area 338 would be consistent
with the General Plan. The relocation of the park and ride facility from Planning Area 11
(commercial designation) to Planning Area 338 (proposed as open space) is consistent with
the General Plan goals for providing altemative transportation facilities, additional economic
development opportunities and ensuring neighborhood compatibility. The park and ride
facility relocation will allow for additional commercial land area within Planning Area 11 for
development. The facility design will be reviewed to ensure it is compatible with adjacent
residential uses. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan includes specific requirements to be
provided at the facility. The subject site in Planning Area 338 is physically suitable for the
park and ride, and trail head uses that will be developed on the site.
Section 3. Environmental Comqliance. 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 EI R 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
EI R 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 EI R 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.
Sectic;," 4. Recommendation. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula hereby
recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance approving the Specific Plan
Amendment (No.2) (PA05-0341) to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit
A, subject to the attached conditions of approval, attached hereto as Exhibit 8.
