A. On September 5, 2017, the City Council approved Planning Application No.
PA15-1892, a Development Plan to allow for 245 residential market rate units consisting
of detached and attached cluster units, and duplex/triplex units totaling approximately

0069, a Temporary Use Application in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula
General Plan and Development Code.
C. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
D. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application
and environmental review on April 18, 2018, at a duly noticed public hearing 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.
E. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due

No. PA18-0069 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
F. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Grading Permits (Sections 18.06.040 and 18.06.180)
Grading permits that involve the stockpiling of dirt must be approved by the Planning
Commission based on the following:
A. A grading permit shall not be issued in any case where the city engineer
determines that hazardous conditions exist and that the work, as proposed by the
applicant, will:
1. Expose any property to landslide or geologic hazard;
2. Adversely interfere with existing drainage courses or patterns;
3. Cause erosion and/or flooding, which could result in the depositing of
mud, silt or debris on any other property or public/private street;
4. Create any hazard to person or property; or
5. Damage or endanger any environmentally sensitive species and habitats,
rocks and/or archaeological artifacts.
B. A grading permit shall not be issued if any of the following apply:
1. If the submittal is incomplete;
2. If the plan as submitted does not comply with the provisions of this title;
3. If the required security is not posted;
4. If the application contains false information.
C. The City Engineer shall deny the issuance of a grading permit if any of the
following apply:
1. If prohibited by a duly elected moratorium, court order, injunction or other
legal order;
2. If the applicant or owner has failed to comply with the provisions of this
title; or
3.
element thereof), any specific plan, conditional use permit, land use
ordinance or regulation, zoning ordinance or regulation, any permit or
approved subdivision map.
Temporary Use Permit, Development Code Section 17.04.020.D
A. The proposed temporary use is compatible with the nature, character and
use of the surrounding area;
The proposed temporary use will allow for a stockpile of soil material. The material
will be used for previously approved grading activities. Temporary stockpiles of soil
material are not uncommon at construction sites before construction begins.
Therefore, the temporary use is compatible with the nature, character and use of
the surrounding area because the soil material is part of the normal construction
process.
B. The temporary use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or
structures.
The temporary use will be located on a vacant lot totaling approximately 21.44
acres. The soil material will not be utilized until grading operations begin.
Therefore, the use is not anticipated to adversely affect the adjacent uses,
buildings or structures because the soil material will be incorporated into the
previously approved grading operations.
C. The nature of the proposed use is not detrimental to the health, safety, or
welfare of the community.
The project has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the City of Temecula
Development Code. This code contains provisions designed to ensure for the
health, safety, and welfare of the community. The project will also be required to
obtain a grading permit. Negative impacts are not anticipated.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Temporary Use Permit Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declaration);
(a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines,
on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions
of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or
negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous
EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any
of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR or negative declaration.
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
previously shown in the previous EIR.
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would
in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
(b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available
after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent
EIR if required under subdivision (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine
whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further
documentation.
(c)
completed, unless further discretionary approval on that project is required. Information
appearing after an approval does not require reopening of that approval. If after the
project is approved, any of the conditions described in the subdivision (a) occurs, a
subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall only be prepared by the public agency
which grants the next discretionary approval for the project, if any. In this situation no
other responsible agency shall grant an approval for the project until the subsequent EIR
has been certified or subsequent negative declaration adopted.
(d) A subsequent EIR or subsequent negative declaration shall be given the same notice
and public review as required under Section 15087 or Section 15072. A subsequent
EIR or negative declaration shall state where the previous document is available and
can be reviewed.
The Environmental Impact report created for Cypress Ridge analyzed the project using 13,500
cubic yards of cut and 38,100 cubic yards of fill, including 24,600 cubic yards of offsite import.
This soil material will be used for the approved grading activities related to the construction of the
project. The plans for stockpile Temporary Use show these same values. Therefore, the
temporary use is consistent with the previously certified Environmental Impact Report.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA18-0069, a Temporary Use Permit for a soil permit
stockpile for the recently approved Cypress Ridge residential project located at 45100
Pechanga Parkway, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached
hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
