(PA99-0298), the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (PA94-0075), a Change of Zone

, Major Modification Application, in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula
General Plan and Development Code.
D. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
E. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on January 19, 2011, at a duly noticed public
hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an
opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.
F. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA10-0338 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
G. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the -
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
A. The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the
subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable
Specific Plan and the City of Temecula Municipal Code;
Tentative Tract Map No. 29661 is consistent with the Genera/ P/an, the
Subdivision Ordinance, the Development Code, Municipal Code and Roripaugh
Ranch Specific Plan as designed. The modification to the Condition of Approval
for this map would not cause the project design to change and therefore the
project remains consistent with the policies and standards in the General Plan,
Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code, Municipal Code and Roripaugh
Ranch Specific Plan.
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
division of the land will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use;
Tentative Tract Map No. 29661 did not include land designated for conservation
or agricultural use and has never been entered into. any Williamson Act
Contracts. The major modification to change the condition of approval for this
map would not include any land used for agriculture not subject to Williamson Act
Contracts.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development proposed by the Tentative Map;
The approved Tentative Map included subdividing 158 acres for residential uses
consistent with the General Plan and Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The
proposed major modification would not change the type of development nor the
density per the approved maps.
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 avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
An EIR was prepared, adopted and certified for the project site and the Tentative
Tract Map. The major modification to change Condition of Approval for the map
would not result in any impacts to the environment.
E. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely
to cause serious public health problems;
The approved Tentative Map was reviewed and condition by the Fire Safety
, Division and the Building Safety Division. Further, provisions are made in the
General Plan, Development Code and Specific Plan to ensure that the public
health, safety.and welfare-are safeguarded. The project.design is.consistent with
these provisions. The subject major modification would not modify the: design of
the subdivision nor the type of final permanent improvements. required. .
F. The design : of .the subdivision provides for. future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the.subdivision to the extent feasible;
The design of the approved subdivisions provides for. future : passive _-or. natural _.
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasib/e. Prior to:
the construction. of any str.uctures the applicant will be required to submit building
plans to the Building Department fhat comp/y with the Uniform Building . Code, _
which contains requirements for energy _ conservation.. :. The subject major:
modification would not modify the design-of the subdivision. nor opportunities for
passive or natural. heating or cooling:
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, or the design of the� alternafe easements
wliich are substantially. equivalent to those previously acqUired by the: public will be
provided;. .
All required .rights-of way and easements have been provided on the approved.
Tentative Tract Nlaps. The subject _major modification= would. not modify the
design of the subdivision nor the type of improvements required.
H. The _ subdivision _ is. consistent with the City's . parkland dedicafion .
requirements (Quimby);
The project area is .within. an approved. Speeific Plan. The Roripaugh .�Ranch .:.-
`.
Specific Plan was designed and analyzed for a maximum of .2, 015 residential
units and parkland has been dedicated using this number. ..The proposed Major
Modification will nof modify the maximum_ number of units in the. Specific Plan .
area and is therefore consistent with Quimby.
Section 3: Environmental Findings. The Planning Corrimission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in con.nection with the approval
of the Major Modification Application. On November 26, 2002, .tfie City Council adopted
Resolution No. 02-111 certifying the Environmental Impact Report for the Roripaugh _
Ranch Specific Plan and Related Planning Applications, including the Developmenf
Agreement (''EIR"). The . Planning Commission finds, based. on the administrative
record, that fhe EIR properly addressed all of the environmental issues.encompassed:
within the Major Modification application 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. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA10-0338, a Major Modification to the Conditions of
Approval for Tract 29661 (Roripaugh Ranch panhandle, PA01-0253, Resolution 02-114)
