Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 11) was approved
by the City Council on November 26, 2002 by the adoption of Resolution No. 02-112.
Amendment No. 1 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) was approved on
January 11, 2005 by the adoption of Resolution No. 05-08. Amendment No. 2 to the
Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) was approved on February 28, 2006 by the
adoption of Resolution No. 06-02. Amendment No. 3 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan (SP 11) was approved on March 8, 2016 by the adoption of Resolution No. 16-17.
The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan as originally approved and as amended by
Amendments Nos. 1-3 shall be referred to in this Resolution as the "Specific Plan".
B. On May 2, 2017, Thom Fuller filed Planning Application No. PA17-0741, a
Specific Plan Amendment. On November 17, 2017, Thom Fuller filed Planning
Application No. PA17-1640, a General Plan Amendment. These applications (collectively
"Project") were filed in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and
Development Code.
C. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in
the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
D. On December 20, 2017 the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Addendum No. 3 to the Roripaugh
Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report, proposed General Plan amendment, and
proposed Amendment No. 4 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) at which time
all persons interested in these actions had the opportunity and did address the Planning
Commission.
E. Following consideration of the entire record of information received at the
public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 17-48, "A Resolution of
the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula Recommending that the City Council
adopt a Resolution Entitled 'A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Temecula
Approving Addendum No. 3 to the Roripaugh Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report
(SCH No. 97121030)"'. Resolution No. 17-48 is hereby incorporated by this reference as
set forth in full.
F. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in recommending
approval of the General Plan Amendment Application No. PA17-1640, hereby finds,
determines and declares that:
A. The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest.
The current General Plan designation for Phase II of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan is Low Density Residential (L), Low Medium Density Residential (LM),
Medium Density Residential (M), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Public
Institutional(PI), and Open Space (OS). The proposed amendment would change
these land uses to Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) which allows for Low
Density Residential (L), Low Estate Density Residential (L-E), Low Medium
Density Residential (LM), Medium Density Residential (MI, M2), Multi-Family
Residential (MF) Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Schools, Private Recreation
(RC), Public Parks (P), and Open Space (OSI, OS2, OS3) land uses as specified
in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The General Plan Amendment is in the
public interest because it allows for various types of residential housing including
potential multi-family housing should the school district elect not to develop both
of the school sites as well as commercial development and preservation of open
space.
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 Specific Plan Amendment that establishes
specific land uses and building 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 surrounding land uses include Phase I of the Roripaugh Ranch
Specific Plan, residential land uses, and County of Riverside land designated as
residential and open space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use allows the
General Plan to defer to the provisions and restrictions of the Specific Plan in order
to remain compatible with existing and surrounding land uses. Although the
proposed land uses in the Specific Plan area are more intense than the existing
agricultural and rural residential uses that the area currently supports, the lot sizes
in the Specific Plan area vary from smaller lots in the interior of the Roripaugh
Ranch Project to large lots around the perimeter adjacent to existing rural areas.
In addition, the proposed habitat resource areas and Santa Gertrudis Creek will
help contribute to the continued rural nature of the area by preserving open space
between development areas.
D. The General Plan Amendment will not have an adverse effect on the
community and is 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 balanced and diversified land
uses, and impose appropriate standards and requirements with respect to land
development and use 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 complete and integrated mix of residential,
commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses (Goal 1)." The project's
land use mix currently includes residential, commercial, public institutional, and
open space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use will allow for the
development of Phase 11 of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to develop
according to the regulations and standards of the Specific Plan. The proposed
General Plan Amendment will result in compatible future development, which will
meet the recommended land use and circulation pattern, maximum density and
intensity of development, a desired mix of uses and other factors consistent with
the goals and policies of the General Plan.
Section 3. Recommendation. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Planning
Application No. PA17-1640, a General Plan Amendment application to revise the General
Plan Land Use designations for the parcels of Phase II of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan to a Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) land use in the form attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit "A", attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
Planning Commission this 20th day of December, 2017.

Section 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council in approving the Project
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 Phase 11 of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan is Low Density Residential (L), Low Medium Density Residential (LM), Medium
Density Residential (M), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Public Institutional (PI), and
Open Space (OS). The proposed amendment would change these land uses to Specific
Plan Implementation (SPI) which allows for Low Density Residential (L), Low Estate
Density Residential (L-E), Low Medium Density Residential (LM), Medium Density
Residential (MI, M2), Multi Family Residential (MF) Neighborhood Commercial (NC),
Schools, Private Recreation (RC), Public Parks (P), and Open Space (OSI, OS2, OS3)
land uses as specified in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The General Plan
Amendment is in the public interest because it allows for various types of residential
housing including potential multi-family housing should the school district elect not to
develop both of the school sites as well as commercial development and preservation of
open space.
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 Specific Plan Amendment that establishes specific land uses and building
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 surrounding land uses include Phase I of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan,
residential land uses, and County of Riverside land designated as residential and open
space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use allows the General Plan to defer to
the provisions and restrictions of the Specific Plan in order to remain compatible with
existing and surrounding land uses. Although the proposed land uses in the Specific Plan
area are more intense than the existing agricultural and rural residential uses that the
area currently supports, the lot sizes in the Specific Plan area vary from smaller lots in
the interior of the Roripaugh Ranch Project to large lots around the perimeter adjacent to
existing rural areas. In addition, the proposed habitat resource areas and Santa Gertrudis
Creek will help contribute to the continued rural nature of the area by preserving open
space between development areas.
D. The General Plan Amendment will not have an adverse effect on the
community and is 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 balanced and diversified land uses, and
impose appropriate standards and requirements with respect to land development and
use 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 complete
and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses
(Goal 1)." The project's land use mix currently includes residential, commercial, public
institutional, and open space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use will allow for
the development of Phase 11 of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to develop according
to the regulations and standards of the Specific Plan. The proposed General Plan
Amendment will result in compatible future development, which will meet the
recommended land use and circulation pattern, maximum density and intensity of
development, a desired mix of uses and other factors consistent with the goals and
policies of the General Plan.
Section 3. Amendment to General Plan Text. The City Council approves and
amends the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the General Plan Land Use
designations for the parcels of Phase I I of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to a Specific
Plan Implementation (SPI) land use and amends Figure LU-3 of the Land Use Element
of the General Plan as shown on Exhibit A, "Proposed General Plan" attached hereto and
incorporated herein as though set forth in full.
Section 4. City Manager Authorization. The City Manager is hereby authorized
and directed to take all steps necessary to implement this General Plan Amendment.
Section 5. 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, consistent 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 6. 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 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect upon its adoption.
Section 8. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution and cause it to be published in the manner required by law.
