R:~TAFFRPT~106PA96.PC1 12/2/96 Lib
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. F_Jnflin~ The Planning Commission in recommending approval of Planning
Application No. PA96-0107 (General Plan Amendment), makes the following findings, to wit:
1. Planning Application No. PA96-0107 (General Plan Amendment), as
proposed, is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
2. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project consists
of amendments to the General Plan Land Use Plan corresponding to Planning Area No. 2 of the
Specific Plan from (FI) High Density Residential (13-20 dwelling units per acre) to (LM) Low-
Medium Density Residential (3-6 dwelling units per acre), Planning Area 29A of the Specific Plan
from (LM) Low-Medium Density Residential (3-6 dwelling units per acre) to (OS) Open
Space/Recreation, Planning Areas 38 and 39 of the Specific Plan from (CC) Community
Commercial to (H) High Density Residential (13-20 dwelling units per acre) and Figure 2-4
(Village Center Overlay) of the General Plan to delete the area corresponding to Planning Area
2 of the Specific Plan and add the areas corresponding to Planning Area 6 and Planning Area 37
of the Specific Plan. Ultimate development of the site will be consistent with the previously
approved Specific Plan and adjacent land uses.
3. The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property,
because it does not represent a significant change to the planned land use of the area, due to the
fact that the proposed land use is consistent with the overall concept of Specific Plan No. 219.
4. The changes proposed in the approved Specific Plan are minor and do not
increase the impacts associated with the development or the overall intensity of the development
as analyzed in the City's General Plan Environmental Impact Report or Env'rronmental Impact
Report 235 prepared for the Paloma del Sol Project. The mitigation measures prepared for this
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be applied to this project.
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 Spec'fiic 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
R: ~STAFFRPT~ 106PAgfi .PC1 12/2/9~
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
recommends approval of Planning Application No. PA96-0107 (General Plan Amendment) on
property generally located north of SR 79 South, east of Margarita Road, south of Pauba Road
and west of Butterfield Stage Road.
