NOW, T!:!ERI*.FORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE crrY OF TEMECULA DOES
RF~OLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings.
A. The City Council in approving the proposed General Plan Amendment, makes the
following findings, to wit:
1. Planning Application No. PA97-0161 (General Plan Amendment) as
proposed is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
2. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. Ultimate
development of the site will be residential development in an area that is comprised of a variety
of residential neighborhoods.
3. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on the community
because it remains consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan.
Section 2. F. nvironmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report No. 202 was
prepared for Specific Plan No. 199 and was certified by the Riverside County Board of
Supervisors on August 26, 1986. In conjunction with Amendment No. 2 to the Specific Plan, a
number of additional studies were undertaken to update and complement the original EIR. The
additional studies, a geotechnical study, traffic study and a Kangaroo Rat trapping and update
study, confirmed the validity of the original analysis.
It has been eleven (11) years since the original environmental analysis was performed for
this project. Therefore, Staff prepared another Initial Environmental Assessment to examine the
question of whether any impacts, beyond those analyzed in the previous EIR and subsequent
studies, would result from the proposed project, changes in circumstances, or from new
information. In areas where there was a potential change in circumstances, specifically traffic,
noise, and lighting, staff requested additional information from the applicant. Based upon Staffs
analysis, the project is consistent with the information contained in the previously certified EIR.
Due to the limited scope of the proposed changes to the specific plan, there will be no effect
beyond that which was reviewed in the previous analysis.
Under California Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no additional EIR is required unless
additional impacts not previously considered, or substantial increases in the severity of impacts,
may result from: substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project is undertaken
which would require a major revision in the EIR, or new information that could not have been
known at the time the EIR was prepared becomes available. None of these situations has
occurred; therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
