Section 1.
by reference.
That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
Section 2. Findin,qs. That the Temecula Planning Commission, in approving Planning
Application No. PA99-0215 (Amendment No. 4 to Vesting Tentative Tract Map 24187), hereby
makes the following findings as required in Section 7.1 of County Ordinance No. 460.
A. The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the projects is
consistent with the General Plan designation and Specific Plan No. 4. The site is physically suitable
for the type and density of development. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site as
specified in the Paloma del Sol Specific Plan (SP-4) is Medium High Density Residential (5-8
dwelling units per acre). Planning Area 23 is approved for 363 residential parcels on 67.8 acres for
a density of 5.35 units per acre. This project proposes 256 residential parcels on 67.8 acres for a
density of 3.77 dwelling units per acre and is at a lower density than what is anticipated for Planning
Area 23 and therefore is consistent with the Medium High density designation.
B. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with Specific
Plan No. 4, the City's General Plan, Development Code, Subdivision 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.

C. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the
proposed land division. The project will take access from Meadows Parkway, McCabe Ddve and
Sunny Meadows Ddve, and will not obstruct any easements.
D. The map as proposed, conforms to the logical subdivision of the site, and is
compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. The subdivision is compatible with
the surrounding areas and the site will be developed pursuant to the General Plan, the Development
Code, and the Development Agreement, all of which regulate residential parcels and development.
Future development of residential units will be compatible and sensitive to the surrounding
residential development. In addition, the proposed subdivision provides adequate access and
circulation for emergency vehicles and will not impact existing circulation or emergency vehicle
access. The project as conditioned, will comply with the City's Development Code, General Plan and
subdivision requirements.
E. The design of the proposed land division is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There
are no known fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish, wildlife
or habitat off-site. Therefore, the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project will not individually or
cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish
and Game Code.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance An Environmental Impact Report (EIR No. 235)
was prepared for Specific Plan No. 219. This EIR addressed and proposed mitigation for the
impacts associated with this project. Since this proposal represents a decrease in the number of
lots that the site was previously approved for and the number of lots that was anticipated for this site
within the specific plan, it has been determined that no further environmental evaluation is required.
In addition, the Planning Commission has made a determination that this proposal is consistent with
a project (SP No. 219) for which an Environmental Impact Report was previously certified.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
Planning Application No. PA99-0215 (Amendment No. 4 to Vesting Tentative Tract Map 24187)
