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. ~ That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby makes the
following findings, to wit:
1. The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the project
is consistent with the City's General Plan and is physically suitable for the type and density of
development. The General Plan I_and Use designation for the site is Low-Medium Residential (3-
6 dwelling units per acre), with a target density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre). The project
R:\STAFFRFI~106PA96.PC1 12/2/96 klb
proposes four hundred ten (410) residential parcels on 141.1 acres for a density of 2.9 units per
acre. This is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation for the site.
2. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements are
not likely to cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for
conformance with the City's General Plan, Development Code, Subdivision and Landscaping
Ordinances. The project is consistent with these documents and conditions of approval have been
placed on the project accordingly to assure that the development will occur to City Standards.
3. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements will
not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed land division. The project will take access from Meadows Parkway
and Leena Way, and will not obstruct any easements.
4. Planning Application No. PA96-0114 as proposed, conforms to the logical
development of its proposed site, and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the
community.
Section 3. t~nvironmental Compliance. The City of Temecula General Plan EIR was
certified on November 9, 1993. Environmental Impact Report No. 235 was prepared for Specific
Plan No. 219 and was certified by the County Board of Supervisors. It has been eight (8) years
since the environmental analysis was performed for this project. In addition, an Addendum to that
I:IR was prepared in 1992 for Amendment No. 4 to the Paloma del Sol Specific Plan. Based upon
this information, it is Staff's opinion that due to the scope (a decrease in the overall density of the
project) of the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment, there will be no effect
on the previous analysis. According to Section 21166 of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is required for the
project unless one or more of the following events occurs: substantial changes are proposed in the
project which will require major revisions of the EIR; substantial changes occur with respect to
circumstance under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in
the EIR; or, new information, which was not known at the time of the EIR was certified and
complete becomes available. None of these situations have occurred; therefore, no further
environmental analysis is required. The Commission hereby determines that the project is
consistent with a project for which an Environmental Impact Report was previously certified.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
Planning Application No. PA96-0114 (Revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 24186 to revise
the subdivision from four hundred sixty-one (461) parcels into four hundred twenty-four (424)
parcels (410 residential and 14 open space) on 114.1 acres, located east of Meadows Parkway,
north of Leena Way, and west of Sunny Meadows Drive and known as Assessor's Parcel No. 950-
020-010 through 950-020-012 and 950-030-011, subject to Exhibit A, attached hereto, and
