Section 2. Findings. That the Planning Commission, in recommending approval of the
Application, hereby makes the following findings:
General Plan Amendment: The General Plan Amendment is necessary to conform to the
current General Plan land uses and development criteria set forth in the Paloma del Sol Specific
Plan Amendment No. 8. Further, the General Plan Amendment serves to designate the Land Use
for the parcels in a manner more conducive to future development. The City finds it necessary to
change the Land Use Designation of parcels on the General Plan Land Use Map to ensure the
public health, safety and welfare of the City and to facilitate future development of the parcels.

Specific Plan Findinqs
A. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and
Development Code. The Specific Plan is a reallocation and redistribution of some of the existing
Land Use Designations and serves as an implementation tool for the General Plan. Therefore, as
proposed, the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan, as it is proposed to be amended,
and Development Code.
B. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. The project has been reviewed by
agencies and staff, and is determined to be in conformance with the City's General Plan (as it is
proposed to be amended), Development Code, Design Guidelines and Growth Management
Program Action Plan. These documents set policies and standards that protect the health, safety
and welfare of the community. In addition, the Specific Plan is a master planned community with
specific design guidelines and standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the surrounding
community in terms of density, design and circulation. Therefore, as proposed, conditioned and
designed, the Specific Plan is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested amended land use
designations and the anticipated land use developments. There are no physical constraints of the
site which would preclude or prohibit the requested land use designations or anticipated
developments.
D. The proposed project shall ensure development of desirable character that will be
compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. The project
proposes similar residential land uses adjacent to the existing surrounding neighborhoods. The
Community/Neighborhood Commercial development is proposed within a Village Center and is
designed to be pedestrian oriented to serve the needs of the Paloma del Sol community and is
adjacent to Highway 79 South where similar commercial and retail uses currently exist along the
Highway corridor.
Section 3. Recommendation to the City Council. The City of Temecula Planning
Commission hereby recommends that the City Council do the following:
1. Approve a Resolution certifying Addendum No. 4 to the Paloma del Sol Specific Plan
EIR, and approving General Plan Amendment (PA-01-0109), located in Exhibit A and substantially
in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference;
2. Approve a Resolution approving Amendment No. 8 to the Paloma del Sol Specific
Plan (PA-01-0102), located in Exhibit B and substantially in the form attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference; and
3. Adopt an Ordinance amending the zoning standards for the Paloma del Sol Specific
Plan (PA-01-0102), and contained in Exhibit C, and substantially in the form attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.
