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. 1 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 1 '7, 1999 by the City of Temecula in conjunction with an evaluation of additional facilities and uses to the Specific Plan. Addendum No. 3 was adopted on October 19, 1999 by the City of Temecula in conjunction with an overall reduction of in dwelling units and the reconfiguration and realignment of Campanula Way. The analysis associated with the Addendum No. 4 to Environmental Impact Report No. 235 concludes that changes in project impacts as a result of Amendment No. 8 are either unchanged or decreased from the original project and that no additional mitigation measures are required. The Planning Commission acknowledges the overriding consideration with regard to air quality impacts made by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors during the original certification of Environmental Impact Report No. 235.
