B. The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the
land is subject to a Land Conservation Act Contract but the resulting parcels following
divisions of the land will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use;
The subject parcel does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract
entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965. The
subject property has not been designated for conservation or agricultural land,
and is not subject to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965. The
proposed map will create sixty air-space condominium "units" to be individually
owned within a recently approved office building.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development proposed by the Tentative Map;
The project consists of a Parcel Map for condominium purposes on property
designated for professional office land uses, which is consistent with the General
Plan and Development Code. Furthermore, the Planning Commission approved
a Development Plan (PA06-0205) for the buildings associated with this project on
December 17, 2008.
D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with
Conditions of Approval are not likely to cause significant environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
Staff has determined that the proposed Tentative Parcel Map for condominium
purposes remains consistent with the previously approved Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) for the overall Rancho Pueblo Planned Development Overlay.
Therefore the project will not produce environmental impacts exceeding the
thresholds anticipated in the original MND.
E. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely
to cause serious public health problems;
The project has been reviewed and conditioned by all appropriate departments to
ensure that it will not cause serious public health problems.
F. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible;
A Development Plan (PA06-0205) was approved by the Planning Commission on
December 17, 2008. The Development Plan was conditioned to require that prior
to the issuance of building permits, and prior to any construction, the applicant
shall submit building plans to the City of Temecula Building Department. These
plans required that the project comply with all applicable Uniform Building Codes,
which also included requirements for energy conservation. To the extent
feasible, the Development Plan and building plans have been designed to allow
for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities.

G. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision;

easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision. All required rights-of-way and easements have
been provided on the Tentative Parcel Map. The City has reviewed these
easements and has found no potential conflicts
