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 Planning Application No.
PA99-0286 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 29431) hereby makes the following findings as required by
Section 17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code;
A. The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the project is
compatible with the General Plan designation and consistent with Specific Plan No. 219 (Paloma del
Sol), Amendment No. 7. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The
General Plan Land Use designation for the site includes CC Community Commercial, OS Open
Space, LM Low Medium Residential (3-6 dwelling units per acre) and H High Density Residential (13-
20 dwelling units per acre). The proposal as designed and conditioned is consistent with these
designations.
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. 219 (Paloma del Sol), 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 proposal as designed and conditioned provides adequate access and
circulation. Future development plans for parcels within the project site will determine the suitability
and location of all access points to those parcels.

D. The map and development plan as proposed, conforms to the logical development
of the site, and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. Access and
circulation are adequate for emergency vehicles. The Fire Department has reviewed the Vehicle
Plan submitted in conjunction with the Development Plan, for adequate emergency vehicle turning
radii. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project's Traffic Study with regards to public health
and safety of the community.
E. The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements are 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. The site is surrounded by development and is an infill site.
Furthermore, grading has already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger specific plan.
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. The Paloma del Sol Specific Plan Environmental
Impact Report (EIR No. 235) was approved and certified by the County of Riverside on September
6, 1988. Since that date Addendum No. I was certified in conjunction with Amendment No. 4 to the
Specific Plan, which added a Development Agreement to the project. Addendum No. 2 was adopted
on March 17, 1999 by the City of Temecula in conjunction with an evaluation of additional facilities
and uses to the Specific Plan.
The applicant has submitted for certification Addendum No. 3 in conjunction with Amendment
No. 7 to the Specific Plan. Addendum No. 3 considers the environmental impacts of an overall
reduction in the number of dwelling units from 5,328 to 5,246 (an 82 dwelling unit difference), and
the reconfiguration and realignment of Campanula Way from a 100-foot major street section to a 78-
foot right-of-way with traffic circles.
The Addendum analysis concludes, as noted in Table 1-Comparative Analysis of Impacts
and Mitigation Measures, that changes in project impacts as a result of Amendment No. 7 are either
unchanged or decreased, and no additional mitigation measures are required. Staff acknowledges
the overriding consideration with regards to air quality impacts made by the Riverside County Board
of Supervisors during the original certification of Environmental Impact Report No. 235. Staff
concludes that environmental concerns regarding the project have been adequately addressed.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
Planning Application No. PA99-0286 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 29431) for the subdivision of 66.828
gross acres into seven (7) lots, located north of State Highway 79 South, south of Montelegro Way,

020-042, -044 and 950-870-006 subject to the project specific conditions set forth on Exhibit A,
