Public hearings have been held before the Planning Commission and City Council of the City of Temecula, State of California, pursuant to the Planning and Zoning laws of the State of California, and the City Code of the City of Temecula. The application land use district is hereby approved and ratified as part of the Official Land Use map for the City of Temecula as adopted by the City and as may be amended hereafter from time to time by the City Council of the City of Temecula, and the City of Temecula Official Zoning Map is amended by placing in affect the zone or zones as described in the above title. Section 2. Notice of Adoption. Within 10 days after the adoption hereof, the City Clerk of the City of Temecula shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and cause it to be posted in at least three public places in the City. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report No. 202 was prepared for Specific Plan No. 199 and was certified by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. 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 new information. In areas where there was a potential change in circumstances, specifically traffic, Ords\97-19 I noise, and lighting, staff requested additional information from the applicant. Based upon Staff's 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. Section 4. ~ A. Planning Application No. PA97-0160 (Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No. 199) as proposed and conditioned is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. B. Planning Application No. PA97-0160 (Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No. 199) is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's adopted General Plan. C. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project proposes a reduction in the density and intensity of land uses. Ultimate development will be residential development in an area that is comprised of a variety of residential neighborhoods. D. The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property because it does not represent a significant change to the planned land use of the site and is consistent with the overall concept of Specific Plan No. 199. E. The amendment to Specific Plan No. 199 does not increase the impacts associated with the development or the overall intensity of the development as analyzed in Environmental Impact Report No. 202. Section 5. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its passage. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.
