Section 1. That the above recitations are tree and correct.
Section 2. Findines. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby makes the
following fmdings, to wit:
A. The f'mdings for the original approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
23373, Amendment No. 1 are found to remain valid except as amended here'm.
B. No subsequent changes are proposed in the project which would require revisions
to the previously Cert'ffied Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 202. The project does not
include new significant, unmitigable environmental impacts that were not considered in the
previously Certified Environmental Impact Report on the project.
C. No new information of substantial importance to the project has become available.
D. Vest'mg Tentative Parcel Map No. 23373, Amendment No. 1, Second Extension
of Time is consistent with the City's General Plan. The Specific Plan land use designation for
Planning Area No. 38 - Retirement Community is very high density residential (Density range
14-20 d.u./acre). The land use designation for Planning Area No. 39 is commercial
development The General Plan land use desiguation for Planning Area No. 38 is High Density
Residential (13-20 d.u./acre) and Neighborhood Commercial for Planning Area No. 39. The
project as proposed is consistent with Specific Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village and the General
Plan.
E. The proposed use or action complies with State Planning and Zoning Laws. The
proposed use complies with the Subdivision Map Act, and City of Temecula Ordinances No. 460
and 348.
F. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configuration, circulation patterns, access, and intensity of use, due to the fact
that the proposed residential development complies with the standards of Ordinances No. 460
and 348.
G. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health
or weffare, due to the fact that the Conditions of Approval include mitigation measures.
H. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The harmony in scale,
bulk, height, intensity, and coverage creates a compatible physical relationship with adjoining
properties. Medium density residential uses are proposed to the west and are buffered by a goff
course. Medium high residential uses are proposed to the north of the site and are buffered by
a road. Existing low-medium density residential development is located across Rancho
California Road. The commercial portion of the site is adjacent to Meadows Parkway (identified
in the General Plan as a 4-lane major road) and Rancho California Road (identified in the
General Plan as a 4-lane arterial).
I. The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, because
it does not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area, due to
the fact that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
J. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to,
and useable by, vehicular traffic, because access will be off of Rancho California Road and
Meadows Parkway, which are publicly maintained street.
K. The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not
in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project.

L. Said findings are supported by maps and environmental documents associated with
these applications and herein incorporated by reference.
M. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, the Vesting Tentative Tract Map is
compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 202
was previously adopted by Riverside County for Specific Plan No. 199. Staff has determined
that said EIR still applies to this subdivision because no subsequent, unmitigable changes are
proposed in the project which would require revisions to the previous Certified Environmental
Impact Report. The project does not include new significant, unmitigable environmental impacts
that were not considered in the previously Certified Environmental Impact Report on the project.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
approves the Second One Year Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23373,
