DECLARATION RELATED THERETO.
WHEREAS, AGK Group LLC filed Planning Application No. 99-0317 Development Plan (the
"Application") in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development
Code;
WHEREAS, the Application was processed including, but not limited to public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at regular meetings, considered the Application, on
May 3, June 7, July 5, and August 16, 2000, at duly noticed public hearings as prescribed by law, at
which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in
support or in opposition to this matter;
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Commission hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Commission approved the Application subject to the conditions after finding that the
project proposed in the Application conformed to the City of Temecula General Plan and
Development Code;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section '1. That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by
reference.
Section 2. Findin.qs. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application hereby
makes the following findings as required by Section 17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code;
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all
applicable requirements of State law and other ordinances of the City including the Development
Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Light Pollution Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping
Ordinance. The proposed use and the design of the project is compatible with the General Plan
designation and zoning of Medium Density Residential (7-12 dwelling units per acre). The project
proposes a density of 11.78 which is within the range specified.
R:~D P\99-0317 Temecula Ridge AptsLRES-DP,PC 8-16-00.doc

B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety
and general welfare. The type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The project has been reviewed for conformance with the City's General Plan, Growth Management
Program Action Plan, Development Code, and Landscaping Ordinances. The project is consistent
with these documents and conditions of approval have been placed on the project accordingly to
assure that the development conforms to City Standards. Access and circulation are adequate for
the general public and for emergency vehicles.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Environmental Study (lES) was prepared
for the project, which determined that the proposal could potentially affect land use planning,
geology and soils, water, biological resources, noise, and cultural resources. However, these affects
are not considered to be significant due to the mitigation measures previously agreed to and
incorporated into the project. On the basis of such inclusion, any potentially significant impacts are
mitigated and reduced to insignificant levels. Accordingly it has been recommended the Planning
Commission adopt a mitigated negative declaration for the project.
This Planning Commission hereby find that, on the basis of the whole record before it, there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, and further
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the Planning Commission's independent judgement
and analysis. The Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared
for this project and further adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program related thereto. The records
and materials relied upon are within the possession of the Planning Manager of the City of
Temecula.
The lES for the project was sent to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, in order that
the State Clearinghouse circulate the document for public review for a 30-day period. One response
from the State Department of Fish and Game was received, and a response to that agency was
prepared, which included a minor revision to the lES regarding jurisdictional wetlands, and a more
detailed discussion of alternatives for the impact to the California Gnatcatcher and coastal sage
scrub habitat identified on the project site.
Subsequent to the close of the review period for the lES, staff received correspondence from the
Pechanga Cultural Resources supervisor, John A. Gomez, Jr., dated May 3, 2000. He requested
that a complete walkover of the project site be required as mitigation to identify any cultural or
archaeological resources that may have been exposed during the twelve years of weather and
erosion since the Archaeological Assessment was completed in 1988. Staff finds that this request is
both reasonable and appropriate due to the ridge location of the property. When apprised of the
request, the applicant's representative had no objections. Staff has amended both the lES and the
Mitigation Monitoring Program to include this measure.
In accordance with Section '15073.5 Recirculation of a Negative Declaration Prior to Adoption, of the
California Environmental Quality Act's CEQA Guidelines, staff has concluded that the revision to the
lES is not considered substantial because:
1) A new, avoidable significant effect has not been identified.
2) No new measures are required.
3) New information has been added to the negative declaration which merely clarifies,
amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to the negative declaration.
R:~D P\99-0317 TemecuIa Ridge Apts~RES-DP.PC 8-16-00.doc

This Planning Commission further finds that the amended mitigation measures as set forth in the
Mitigation Monitoring Program are the equivalent of, or more effective than, the originally prepared
mitigation measures and conditions of approval I the mitigation of potentially significant effects on
the environment and further finds that the substitute measures will not have a significant effect on
the environment.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula City Council hereby conditionally approves
the Application for the design, construction and operation of a 246-unit, two and three story
apartment complex with pool, clubhouse, workout building and tot lot on approximately 21 acres,
located on the south side of Rancho California Road, southeast of the intersection of Rancho
California Road and Moraga Road, and known as Assessor's Parcel No. 944-290-011, subject to
the project specific conditions set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
