PA97-0204 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF

199, VILLAGE A (MARGARITA VILLAGE)
WHEREAS, Temeku Hills Development Partners, L.P. filed Planning Application No.
PA97-0204 in accordance with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code;
WHEREAS, Planning Application No. PA97-0204 was processed in the time and manner
prescribed by State and local law;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered Planning Application No. PA97-0204
on September 9, 1997, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time
interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or in opposition;
WHEREAS, at the public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, the Commission considered all facts relating
to Planning Application No. PA97-0204;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in recommending approval of Planning
Application No. PA97-0204, makes the following findings; to wit:
A. The development to be carried out pursuant to the Development Agreement
is consistent with the General Plan.
B. The Development Agreement and the development to be carried out
hereunder complies with all other applicable requirements of State law, City ordinances and
Specific Plan No. 199.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance, Environmental Impact Report No. 202 was
prepared for Specific Plan No. 199 and was certified by the Riverside County Board of
Supervisors. In conjunction with Amendment No. 2 to the Specific Plan, a number of additional
studies were undertaken to update and complement the original EIR. The additional studies, a
R:\STAFFPJM142PA97.PC 11/13/97ldb 22
geotechnical study, traffic study and a Kangaroo Rat trapping and update study, confirmed the
validity of the original analysis.
It has been eleven (11) years since the original environmental analysis was
performed for this project. Therefore, Staff prepared another Initial Environmental Assessment
to examine the question of whether any impacts beyond those analyzed in the previous EIR and
subsequent studies would result from the proposed project, changes in circumstances, or new
information. In areas where there was a potential change in circumstances, specifically traffic,
noise, and lighting, staff requested additional information from the applicant. Based upon Staff's
analysis, the project is consistent with the information contained in the previously certified EIR.
Due to the limited scope of the proposed changes to the specific plan, there will be no effect
beyond that which was reviewed in the previous analysis.
Under California Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no additional EIR is required
unless additional impacts not previously considered, or substantial increases in the severity of
impacts, may result from: substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which would require a major revision in the EIR, or new information that could not
have been known at the time the EIR was prepared becomes available. None of these situations
has occurred; therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
Section 4. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th of S ember, 1997.
Linda Fahey, Chairman
