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. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is LM Low Medium Density Residential (3-6 dwelling units per acre). Tentative Tract Map No. 24136, Amendment No. 2 proposes 3.97 dwelling units per acre and the proposed map is consistent with these standards. The map implements the zoning standards specified in Amendment No. 7 to Specific Plan No. 219. The map proposes slopes no greater than 2:1, which is consistent with the City's Development Code. F:'~D EPTS~PLANNING~STAFFR PT~'96pa99. RES-TM.PC.doc 1 B. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely to cause sedous public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with Specific Plan No. 219, 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 map proposes access from Meadows Parkway, DePortola Road and Plo Pico Road, and will not obstruct any easements. D. The map 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 project has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer, Public Works Department and Fire Department. These departments have conditioned the map to ensure public health, safety and welfare. 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. A DeMinimus Impact Finding can be made for this project. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report No. 235 was prepared for Specific Plan No. 219 and was certified by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on September 6, 1988. Addendum Nos. I and 2 were adopted by the City of Temecula City Council in 1992 and 1999 respectively. Addendum No. 3 is under consideration by the City Council on October 19, 1999 and November 9, 1999. This project proposes no change to the maximum number of units for Planning Area 8 as reviewed by Addendum No. 3. According to Section 21166 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is required for the project unless one or more of the following events occurs: substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the EIR; substantial changes occur with respect to circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which require major revision in the EIR; or, new information, which was not known at the time of the EIR was certified and complete becomes available. None of these situations have occurred. In addition, the previously certified EIR and Addendums addressed the number of lots for the site as proposed by Tentative Tract Map No. 24136. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required. Staff is recommending that the Commission find and determine that no additional analysis is required pursuant to the requirements of CEQA.
