Section 2. F_iadiag~ 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 Land 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
proposes one hundred thirty-six (136) residential parcels on 52.3 acres for a density of 3.1 units
per acre. This is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation for the site.
R:\STAFFRPT~106PA96.PC1 12/2/96 Idb
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 casements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed land division. The project will take access from DePortola Road,
Meadow Parkway and Leena Way and will not obstruct any casements.
4. Planning Application No. PA96-0108 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. l~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 EIR 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 decrcase 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. PA96-0108 to revise the subdivision from two hundred ten (210) parcels
into 156 parcels (136 residential and 20 open space) on 52.3 acres, located west of Campanula
Way, north of DePortola Road, east of Mcadows Parkway and south of Leena Way and known
as Assessor's Parcel Numbers 950-020~013 and 950-020-014, subject to Exhibit A, attached
hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof.
