R:[STAFFRPT\I9PA96.PC 8/15/96 vgw
2. Planning Application No. PA96-0020 (General Plan Amendment) is
consistent with the City's General Plan, due to the fact that the subject request is in substantial
conformance with Specific Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village.
3. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project consists
of an amendment to the 6eneral Plan Land Use Plan for Planning Areas No. 38 and 40 of Specific
Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village from High Density Residential to Medium Density Residential.
Ultimate development of the site will be residential development in an area that is comprised of
a variety of sizes of residences.
4. 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. 199.
5. 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 Environmental hnpact Report 202. The mitigation measures prepared for this
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be applied to this project.
Section 3. l~nvironmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report No. 202 was
prepared for Specific Plan No. 199 and was certified by the County Board of Supervisors. It has
been eight (8) years since the environmental analysis was performed for this project. It is Staff's
opinion that due to the limited scope of the proposed 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.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
recommends approval of Planning Application No. PA96-0020 (General Plan Amendment) on
property generally located north of Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road, south of La
Serena Way and west of Meadows Parkway
