NOW, TItEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF T]~MECULA DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findln~,s. The Temecula City Council hereby denies Appeal No. 27
based upon the following findings:
A. The appellant has failed to demonstrate the proposed project, including the future
phases, will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community.
B. The draft General Plan proposal being considered designates the subject property
as Very Low Density Residential (2.2 - 2.4 dwelling units per acre). The traffic impacts and non-
residential intensity of development of the project (i.e., bulk of the buildings, parking areas,
lighting, noise, etc.) will likely be inconsistent with to the Growth Management/Public Facilities
Element of the draft General Plan in respect to locating quasi-public uses to the maximum extent
possible, in activity centers, where the facilities can reinforce other activities and benefit from the
availability of other services.
C. The proposed project, including the future phases, is not a proper use for the area
because it will negatively impact traffic in the area as compared to the traffic impacts of
developing the property are Very Low Density Residential.
D. The intensity of development of the proposed project, including the future phases,
is incompatible with the surrounding Los Ranchitos neighborhood.
E. The proposed project, including the future phases, will result in negative traffic
impacts due to the cumulative number of non-residential/public uses in the immediate area.

Section 2. g, nvironmental Conxpliance. The City of Temecula City Council
hereby denies certification of the Negative Declaration. The City Council further finds that the
Initial Study for the project failed to address the project broadly enough to analyze the impacts
resulting from future expansion of the project. For example, the traffic analysis failed to address
the cumulative impacts of the future phases of the project.

The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, by the City Council of the City of Temecula
at a regular meeting held on the 24th day of November, 1992.
