NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA

Section 1. Recitals. That the above recitals are true and correct and are hereby
incorporated by reference.
Section 2. Findinas. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application
No. PA05-0404 hereby finds that the development agreement amendment, is consistent with
the goals and policies of the approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan and Development
Agreement, and the proposed development agreement amendment would further the City's

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 First Amendment to
the Development Agreement 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 EIH 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 recammends 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 Temecula
hereby recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 06-_ amending the Roripaugh
