Plannin¢l ADI31ication No. PA98-0323 (Tentative Tract MaD 28510), Plannincl
Application No. PA99-0015 (Amendment to CamDos Verdes Sl~ecific Plan) and
Planninq Al~plication No. PA99-0016 (General Plan Amendment)
Request for a tentative Tract Map for 242 single family residential lots, a park site
and one commercial lot totaling approximately 71.1 acres within the Campos
Verdes Specific Plan. An amendment to the existing Campos Verdes Specific
Plan which primarily consists of increasing the school site from 10 acres to 20
acres, resulting in a reduction of 81 residential parcels and a reduction to the park
site in Planning Area 1. Additionally, a portion of the residentially and park zoned
property is being changed to a commercial zoning classification. An amendment
to the General Plan Land Use Map for consistency with the land use changes of
the Campos Verdes Specific Plan amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Planning Department that the Planning Commission
approve the request.
Assistant Planner Anders reviewed the staff report (of record), specifying the criteria
necessitating the amended Specific Plan as the direct result of the school site doubling in size
(from a 10-acre elementary school to a 20-acre middle school); clarified that the City initiated
the request for the amendment; noted that an exhibit presented referenced a 19-foot retaining
wall, relaying that staff does not approve of the 19-foot wall and, therefore, has added an
additional Condition of Approval; advised that Condition No. 1, regarding Development Fees, is
not applicable due to the Environmental Impact Repod (EIR), and, therefore, will be deleted;
with regard to community concern, specified that staff has met with several members of the
community, specifically, the Roripaugh Hills Homeowners' president, clarifying that the road
issue (open/closure of Starling Street and Sanderling Way) was not a part of this proposed
amendment to the Campos Verdes Specific Plan Amendment, relaying that this issue was
previously reviewed by the City Council prior to the Campos Verdes Specific Plan; for
Chairwoman Slaven, clarified that the school site revision was based on a request by the
School District due to the needs of the community; and, for Commissioner Naggar, noted that
with regard to the open space area north of Sanderling Way, that the demarcation is a
proposed trail to tie into the southern trail which would be accessed from North General Kearny
Road, additionally, clarifying access from the Roripaugh area.
Mr. Barry Burnell, representing the applicant, relayed support of staff's recommendation and
conditions; with regard to the road issue (which is not an issue for consideration for the current
proposal) relayed that the applicant was willing to have the streets open or closed, abiding by
the City Council's recommendation, with the condition that the applicant is not required to re-
design the site plan. For Commissioner Guerriero, Mr. Burnell advised that the environmental
issue has been mitigated, relaying that the supporting report would be provided to staff for the
record. With regard to Commissioner Soltysiak's comments, Mr. Burnell relayed that filling in
the retaining wall area, eliminating the alleyway between the existing ground, and the area to be
developed, would be agreeable to the applicant. clarifying, however, that this proposal would be
dependent upon the concurrence of the adjacent neighbors; and advised that the proposed site
plan provides for the provision of adequate drainage.
Attorney Curley clarified that the issue presented is a defined application, specifying, as follows:
it was prepared, publicly noticed, subjected to the variety of planning reviews (of record), the
environmental review, and adherence to all the City codes. Ergo, the issue has been analyzed,
noticed, and subjected to the strict criteria noted. Mr. Curley specified that the proposal
presented is not the street open/closure issue, and since that is not part of the analyzed
proposal, it is not within the Commission's jurisdiction to take action on the road issue.
In response to Chairwoman Slaven's inquiry, Mr. Cudey clarified appropriate alternate avenues
for public members that could facilitate the reconsideration of the road issue (i.e., appearance
at the City Council meeting, requesting the Council to direct the City staff to undertake a City-
initiated evaluation of the Specific Plan), specifying the avenue that could put in motion the task
of revisiting analysis of the aforementioned issue under the current standards and conditions.
Planning Manager Ubnoske further clarified that the amendment before the Commission does
not address the road issues. · .
Chairwoman Slaven reiterated that the Commission is reviewing the proposed amendment
exclusive of the road issue, relaying that it was not within the Commission's jurisdiction to make
a decision based on that issue.
Mr. Doug, Woeke, 27513 Jimison Circle, noted his approval of the project, relaying that that
encompassed his approval of the opening of Sanderling Way for the provision of access after
mall opening and the provision of effective overall circulation, with the condition of additional
traffic control.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the project as currently proposed:
David Crook
David and Laura Barron
Kathryn and Michael Budd
Joanne Carlson
Mark Jones
40237 Mimulus Way
40223 Mimulus Way
27598 Sanderling Way
27510 Lark Court
29379 Rancho Calfornia Road
Patricia Hall
Oscar Murdock
Ray Tuider
27483 Lark Court
27495 Lark Court
27420 Bolandra Court
The above-mentioned individuals spoke in opposition to the project for the following reasons:
the reduced park site
the impediment upon view lots
the retaining wall
the drainage issue
the location of the small lots
Although Attorney Curley clarified that the road issue was not part of this particular project, the
aforementioned individuals noted their primary concern as the open/closure issue of Sanderling
Way and Starling Road, specified, as follows:
challenged the General Plan amendment, citing policies referencing
consideration of the surrounding community when considering traffic updates
a desire for provision of data clarifying the rationale of Sanderling Way going
through
requested a revisiting of the current population status with regard to the General
Plan
requested that additional traffic studies be implemented in the area of discussion
noted specific opposition to the opening of Sanderling Way or Starling Road
without the additional opening of alternate streets, facilitating a condition of
heavy traffic impact due to the utilizaton of one sole street
in response to Ms. Hall's comments, Commissioner Guerriero relayed that the population
portion of the General Plan was going to be further addressed at a future Commission meeting.
Chairwoman Slaven read into the record a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Tatantino expressing
opposition to the opening of Sanderling Way (per submitted material.) . .
A voting roster was submitted for the record, reflecting 163 votes in opposition to the opening of
the aforementioned streets, and none in favor.
Mr. Burnell specified the proposed reduction of dwelling units on the current project; noted that
Sanderling Way could be blockaded without design modifications; relayed that the Campos
Verdes project would not affect the existing trails; clarified the lot sizes and specific locations;
and specified the existing drainage condition, and the proposed drainage design.
Chairwoman Slaven advised, for Commissioner Naggar, that per Attorney Curley's advisement
the road issue was not a consideration for the Planning Commission regarding this particular
project proposal.
Chairwoman Slaven closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Guerriero, echoed by Commissioner Naggar and Soltysiak, applauded the
developer's proposed reduction in density; recommended that the road issue be further
addressed, specifically with regard to Fire Department and Police Department access: relayed
that the additional 240 cars this project would generate could be mitigated through the addition
of stop signs. chokers, and the relocation of bus stops; and advised that if the City honored
every request to blockade streets it would render a condition of insufficient traffic circulation.
Commissioner Naggar clarified that the City has no control over State Highway 79, noting that
the signaling and timing of the signals are controlled by Caltrans; noted that various large
parcels in Temecula are under entitlement by development agreements made by the County,
and, therefore, granting those particular parcels certain provisions prior to the incorporation of
Temecuia as a City; advised that with regard to those particular parcels, the most beneficial
asset to the City is the reduction in density, as this project proposed; assured the community
that per phone conversations with the School District, the buses did not intend to use this area
as a shortcut for bus transportation to access the school barn, relaying that the school
anticipated the addition of two buses in the morning and afternoon due to the site increase; with
regard to the retaining wall area, advised that the developer's proposal to backfill that area
would provide the homeowners with additional space,
Commissioner Soltysiak noted that the evidence was clear when the Roripaugh tract was
completed that the streets of issue were proposed to continue on, advising that this information
was provided for the original homeowners; relayed that since pertinent information regarding
the criteria for staffs rationale for the connection on Sanderling Way wasn't provided, no
advisement could be relayed; remarked with regard to the retaining wall area, concurrence with
Commissioner Naggar, specifically, that the developer's proposal to fill in the area appeared to
be a benefit to the landowners; and reiterated that the proposal before the Commission was
due to the School District's request to increase the site of the school.
With regard to the issues of concern raised by the public, noted as follows: the retaining wall,
the lot size location, the easements on the Roripaugh property, Commissioner Webster relayed
that the applicant has adequately addressed the aforementioned matters; with respect to the
existing traffic problem, advised further addressing those concerns to the Traffic Commission;
with regard to the opening of North General Kearny Road, noted that the Planning Commission
will be reviewing revisions to the Circulation Update within the next month or so, recommending
that the public utilize that meeting as a forum for discussion, reflective of the North General
Kearny Road comments.
Chairwoman Slaven balanced the concerns of the community with the developer's proposals,
recommending that more effort be exerted to communicate with the community; with regard to
the traffic issues, relayed that the potential for circulation revision in any community exists in
order to implement overall improvement of traffic circulation; noted her disapproval of
blockading any street due to the impact on the rest of the community; relayed that further
investigation measures are needed with regard to the closing of North General Kearny; and
advised that the developer be specific with proposals concerning the retaining wall, obtaining
more input from the adjacent neighbors.
Assistant Planner Anders reiterated that staff and the developer have had numerous
discussions with members of the public; and noted that staff has added an additional condition
to ensure the adequacy of the retaining wall provision.
MOTION: Commissioner Webster moved to adopt the Environmental Addendure No. 4 to the
previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR No. 348) adopted for the Campos Verdes
Specific Plan; and adopt Resolution No 99-04 recommending approval of Planning Application
No. PA99-0016 (General Plan Amendment); Planning Application No. PA99-0015 (Amendment

Total Area: 168 +/- acres
R:\STAFFRFI'X22PA99 - PC.doc

BACKGROUND
Staff has recently identified a number of needed adjustments that should be made to the General
Plan Land Use and Zoning Maps. These City-Initiated changes have been grouped together to
simplify the headng process before the Planning Commission and City Council. Though bundled
together for processing, each of the three changes may be discussed and considered separately if
the Commission deems it appropriate.
ANALYSIS
These proposals would change the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Maps in several areas
of the City. A detailed discussion of each change area follows.
Site 1: Former Norm Reeves location on Jefferson Road
General Plan: 2.5 acres Community Commercial to Highway Toudst Commercial
Zoning: 2.5 acres Community Commercial to Highway Toudst Commercial
The former Norm Reeves dealership site on Jefferson Road was purchased by the Redevelopment
Agency in 1996. Since then, the site has continued as an intedm automotive use. The Agency
Board has approved the sale of the site to Richardson's RV Sales and there is a need to ensure that
the automotive use of the site can be legally continued. As a result, staff is requesting that the
General Plan and Zoning designations for the site be changed from Community Commercial to
Highway Toudst Commercial. This redesignation will facilitate the continuation of the existing
conditional use permit on the property as a legal conforming use on the property. This amendment
will also facilitate the Redevelopment Agency's sale of the property and its ultimate return to the
property tax roles. Staff believes that the change is reasonable, will not undermine the City General
Plan, and that it will be compatible with the surrounding zoning. The properties to the north and west
are already designated Highway Tourist Commercial.
Site 2: Portions of Kahwea Road and Avenida del ReDoso and Nob Court
General Plan: 14.5 +/- acres from Very Low Density Residential to Low Medium Density Residential
Zoning: 14.5 +/- acres from Very Low Density Residential to Low Medium Density Residential
The proposed amendment represents an adjustment to reflect the lot sizes and general pattern of
development in this area. The majodty of the area is currently occupied by detached single family
homes on lots ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 square feet. Though a couple of the cul-de-sac lots
are larger than commonly found in other areas with the same zoning, the overall character of the
area is consistent with the Low Medium Density Residential category. in addition, the properties in
question are not part of the Meadowview area. As a result, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of this change to the City Council.
Site 3: Future detention basin alon~l north Jefferson Road
General Plan: 129.9 +/- acres from BP to OS, 7.8 +/- acres from BP to SC, and 0.76 acres from BP
to PI
Zoning: 129.9 +/- acres from BP to OS-C, 7.8 +/- acres from BP to SC, and 0.76 acres
from BP to PI
The proposed amendment is intended to reflect the acquisition of approximately 155 acres by the
Riverside County Flood Control District for a floodwater detention basin. Staff is proposing that the
129 acres currently designated as Business Park be redesignated as Open Space under the General
Plan and Open Space-Conservation designation on the Zoning Map and that an additional 7.8 acres
R:\STAFFRF~22PA99 - FC.doc
2
be added to the current Service Commercially zoned area along Jefferson Road. The redesignation
of this area will also enable the City's traffic model to more accurately reflect future land use build
out conditions. Using the traffic generation factors from the General Plan EIR, the redesignation will
reduce the number of vehicle tdps to and from this area by approximately 27,000 trips per day.
In addition, because the Flood Control District has not decided whether the property adjacent to
Jefferson Road will be ultimately retained for flood control purposes, Staff is recommending that the
Service Commercial portion of the site the slightly enlarged to facilitate its eventual economic use
if the Flood Control Distdct determines that the property is not needed for floodwater detention, then
the extra 200 feet of Service Commerdal zoning in this area will allow development to occur that will
minimize the number of ddvoways and access points directly onto Jefferson Road. This is expected
to reduce traffic conflicts and improve traffic flow. Staff is also recommending that the small site
owned by Rancho California Water Distdct be changed from Business Park to Public Institutional.
This designation will be compatible with proposed adjacent general plan and zoning designations.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Environmental Study was prepared for this project to determine if the proposed changes
would result in any environmental impacts beyond those impacts identified in the Final Environmental
Impact Report for the City General Plan. The Initial Study indicated that overall, the proposed
General Plan Amendments and Zone Changes would not result in impacts beyond those originally
anticipated for the City General Plan. The exceptions are that three areas; circulation, air quality,
and biologic resource impacts are expected to see small reductions in the anticipated environmental
impacts. As a result, the impacts of these General Plan changes will not have an impact beyond
those anticipated in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
Staff has evaluated these proposals and has determined that these amendments to the General Plan
Land Use and Zoning Maps are appropriate and will be compatible with the other land uses in their
respective areas and recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of these
changes to the City Council.
FINDINGS

the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan.
Chancle of Zone
1. The changes are compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.

project to determine if the proposed changes would result in any environmental impacts beyond
those impacts identified in the Final Environmental impact Report for the City General Plan. The
Initial Study indicated that overall, the proposed General Plan Amendments and Zone Changes
would have not result in impacts beyond those originally anticipated for the City General Plan. The
exceptions are that three areas; circulation, air quality, and biologic resource impacts are expected
to see small reductions in the anticipated environmental impacts. As a result, the Planning
Commission determines that the potential impacts of these changes were adequately addressed by
the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City General Plan and that no further environmental
analysis is required.

Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on
an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an eadier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the eadier analysis as
described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must
analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a)
have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have
been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that eadier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

Comments
1 .a,c The project is a series of general plan amendments and required zone changes that can be
characterized as (1) a shift within commercial designations, (2) a cleanup measure to reflect
the current development pattern, and (3) a reduction in future urban employment uses to
reflect the future use of a site for a floodwater detention basin. The environmental impacts of
these proposed general plan amendments and proposed zone changes are expected to be
less than significant for the following reasons: Site I is already developed for commercial
use, Site 2 is already developed as single family homes, and Site 3 will be set aside primarily
for a floodwater retention purposed. As a result, the environmental impacts associated w~tin
this project are expected to be less than the originally anticipated in the Environmental Impact
Report for the City General Plan.
1 .b The project will not conflict with applicable environmental plans or polices adopted by
agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The impacts from the General Plan Land Use
Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report the General Plan. Agencies
with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR
and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved
with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the
project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated
that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific
environmental plans or polices. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this
project.
1 .d Two of the three sites are already developed and these proposed changes are consistent with
the current pattem of development. The third site has not been used for agricultural purposes
within recent memory and is not within an area under a VVilliamson Act contract. In addition,
the City General Plan anticipated that this property would ultimately be developed with uses
other than agriculture and that they would not be used for agricultural production. As a
consequence, any environmental impacts associated with this project are expected to be
equivalent to those impacts identified in the original General Plan.
1 .e The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community
(including low-income or minority community. As a consequence no significant effects are
anticipated as a result of this project.

This project does not represent a change from the impacts addressed in the original EIR for

will result in an incremental increase in local groundwater recharge. As a result, no additional
impacts have been identified.

Comments
The proposed General Plan and Zoning amendments will result in fewer vehicle trips than
originally envisioned in the EIR for the General Plan. This is because motor automobiles are
a major source of air quality impacts in Southern California, the small reduction in vehicle trips
that will result from this project will cause an incremental decrease of projected air pollutant
emissions. As a result, this project represents a decrease in the impacts addressed in the
original EIR for the City General Plan.
6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION.
Would the proposal result in:

these areas than was originally anticipated in the Final EIR forthe General Plan. Using the
traffic generation factors from the General Plan EIR, the cdticel traffic areas west of interstate
15 will see a radudion of 27,280 modeled daily vehicle tdps at Build Out. (32,375 daily trips
before the change and 5,095 daily tdps after the proposed amendment.) This change is
pdmadly due to the change of over 120 acres from Business Park to detention basin/open
space area. In addition, this change is also expected to result in a small reduction in the total
number of peak hour trips from the future industhal areas west of Jefferson Road. This will
also result in a reduction in the amount congestion at the freeway interchanges and
overcrossings. As a result, because the General Plan and Zoning amendments rapresent a
reduction in total daily and peak hour vehicle tdps, it will also result in an incremental
decrease to circulation system impacts within the City.
7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:

7.a.
7.b.
7.c.
7.d.
7.e.
Endangered, threatened or rare species or their
habitats (including but not limited to plants, fish,
insects, animals and birds)?

Comments:
This project does not rapresent a change from the impacts addressed in the odginal EIR for
the City General Plan. The pdmary change, of over 100 acres from an urban to
pradominately open space use is expected to have, on the long run, a positive impact by
providing some additional habitat areas along Muftieta Creek. As a result, the project is
expected to result in an incremental decrease in the impacts to biologic impacts.
8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal:
8.a. Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans?
8.b. Use non-renewal resources in a wasteful and
inefficient manner?.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
16.a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
16.b. Does the project have the potential to achieve shod-
term, to the disadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals?
16.c. Does the project have impacts that area individually
limited, but cumulativety considerable?
CCumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and
the effects of probable future projects).
16.d. Does the project have environmental effects which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?
