and a rezone of the site from Professional Office (PO) to Cypress Ridge Planned
Development Overlay District (to be known as PDO-15). PDO-15 is a series of standards
and regulations that will govern all development on the property. These standards and
regulations address architectural style, setbacks, and building height. Together, these
regulations and standards seek to ensure cohesiveness in the design and aesthetic
appearance, and compatibility with the surrounding community. In addition to the
proposed PDO-15, the Project also includes a General Plan Amendment, Tentative Tract
Map, and a Development Plan for the construction of 245 residential market rate units
consisting of detached and attached cluster units and duplex/triplex units, the converstion
of 0.67-acres of an off-site existing concrete drainage ditch into a landscaped infiltration
basin, improvements to Pala Park and additional off-site landscape improvements north

J. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Provisions for Fiscal Impact Payments
The City and owner estimate that the increased costs to the City of providing public
safety and other municipal services to the area resulting from the General Plan
Amendment and change of zone for the Project will substantially exceed the municipal
revenue from the Project ("City Services Deficit'). The City has received a Fiscal Impact
' Analysis, dated as of July, 2017 ("FIA"), documenting the City Services Deficit. The
owners of the property within the Project, and their successors in interest, shall pay the
City the sum of four hundred thirty nine dollars ($439) per residential dwelling unit within
the Project each year as mitigation for the City Services Deficit. This amount is subject to
an annual inflator of 5.6%. Owner and its successors to the property within the Project
may fulfill this obligation through a community facilities district established by the City
pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982, Government Code
Section 53311, et seq., or other appropriated financing mechanism approved by the City;
provided, however, the obligation of each owner and their successors to pay the City
Services Deficit payment under this obligation remains an obligation of the owner and its
successors regardless of the financing mechanism used to pay it and regardless of
whether there is a financing mechanism to pay it.
Section 3. The City Council in approving the General Plan Amendment hereby
finds, determines and declares that:
General Plan Amendment
A. The General Plan Amendment is in the Public Interest;
The current General Plan designation for the Project area is Professional Office
(PO). The amendment would change this to Medium Density (M) residential. The revised
' designation will allow the Project area to be consistent with the overall residential
character of the Pechanga Parkway corridor. The General Plan Amendment is in the
Resos 17-60 3
' public interest because it provides for additional residential options, enhancements to
Pala Park, inclusion of landscaping to a portion of Pechanga Parkway to beautify this
area, and connectivity of trails in this portion of the city.
B. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety and
welfare of the community.
The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety, and welfare
of the community. The General Plan Amendment will ensure compliance with all Building,
Fire, and Development Codes. These codes set policies and standards that protect the
health, safety and welfare of the community. In addition, the General Plan Amendment
is tied to a Planned Development Overlay that establishes specific design guidelines and
standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the surrounding community.
Therefore, the General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety and welfare
of the community.
C. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with existing and surrounding
uses.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible with surrounding land uses.
The current land uses north, east and west of the project area consist primarily of
residential, and a public park. The project would provide for additional residential units
that are in character with the surrounding built environment.
' D. The amendment will not have an adverse effect on the community and are
consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the direction, goals and
policies of the General Plan. The General Plan amendment will implement the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, provide for residential uses in an area comprised of
residential development, and impose appropriate standards and requirements with
respect to land development in order to maintain the overall quality of life and the
environment within the City. The goals and policies in the Land Use Element of the
General Plan encourage "a land use pattern that protects and enhances residential
neighborhoods" (Goal 5). The Project site is surrounded by existing residential and the
current the Land Use designation is Professional Office (PO). A commercial office
complex can be constructed on the Project site with the current land use designation. This
type of use would be out of context with the residential of the surrounding area. The
General Plan Amendment will allow for a market rate residential project to be located on
the site by revising the land use designation to Medium Density (M) residential. Allowing
residential development to occur in an area comprised of residential development will
protect and enhance the existing neighborhoods.
Section 4. Amendment to the Land Use Policy Map. The Land Use Policy Map
Figure LU-3 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan is hereby amended to identify
that the designation of Parcels APNs 961-450-003, 961-450-012 and 961-450-013 is
changing from Professional Office (PO) to Medium Density (M) Residential as provided
Resos 17-60 4
in Exhibit 'A" attached hereto incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in
' full.
Section 5. City Manager Authorization. The City Manager is hereby authorized
and directed to take all steps necessary to implement this General Plan Amendment.
Section 6. Consistency with General Plan. The Land Use Element of the
General Plan, as amended by this Resolution, is consistent with the other elements of the
General Plan, in conformity with Government Code Section 65300.5. Insofar as other
portions of the General Plan need to be revised to effectuate this General Plan
Amendment, the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to make all necessary
revisions to effectuate this General Plan Amendment.
Section 7. Severability. If any portion, provision, section, paragraph, sentence,
or word of this Resolution is rendered or declared to be invalid by any final court action in
a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining
portions, provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, and words of this Resolution shall
remain in full force and effect and shall be interpreted by the court so as to give effect to
such remaining portions of the Resolution.
Section 8. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect upon the effective
date of Ordinance No. 17-06 "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE TEMECULA ZONING CODE TO ADD A
NEW ARTICLE XVI (CYPRESS RIDGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY
DISTRICT 15) TO CHAPTER 17.22 (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONING
DISTRICT) ON A 22.73 ACRE SITE GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST

961-450-012, 961-450-013) AND AMENDING THE TEMECULA ZONING MAP (PA15-
1895)."
Section 9. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution and it shall become effective upon its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
