FINDING THAT THE PROJECT IS NOT SUBJECT TO
FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION
15162 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On October 19,2020,Woodside Homes filed Planning Application No.PA20-1219
for a Development Plan. On December 23,2020 Woodside Homes filed Planning Application No.
PA20-1459 for a Tentative Tract Map (TTM 38018). These applications (collectively"Project")
were filed in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Project was processed including,but not limited to a public notice, in the time
and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Project and
environmental review on June 2, 2021, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at
which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in
support or in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA20-1459,
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Tentative Tract Map, Development Code Section 16.09.140
A. The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable specific plan,and the City of
Temecula Municipal Code.
The maximum number of residential units allowed within the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan is 2,015. The proposed project proposes the creation of 13 buildable lots and one (1)
open space lot which will contain 374 units. As such, the total number of residential units
are below what is allowed per the Specific Plan. Furthermore, the proposed Tentative
Map is consistent with the design requirements of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision
are consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, the City of Temecula Municipal
Code, and the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan.
B. The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land, which is the subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the land is
subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land
will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use.
The property on which the project is proposed has not been used as agricultural land and
has never been subject to any Williamson Act contracts.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development
proposed by the Tentative Map.
The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed
by the Tentative Map. The proposed Tentative Map is in accordance with what is allowed
by the previously approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan which allows for the
construction of 2,015 residential units. Specifically, Planning Areas 28 and 29 allows for
a minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet. The Tentative Map proposes an average lot size
of approximately 34,850 square feet. As such, the site is suitable for this development
proposed.
D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with Conditions of
Approval, are either:
1. Not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, or
2. An environmental impact report has been prepared and a finding has been made,
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(3), finding that specific economic,
social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the environmental impact report.
An Environmental Impact Report and subsequent Addenda to the EIR have been prepared
for the project. The project is conditioned to comply with all mitigation measures identified
within EIR No. SCH#97121030. Therefore, the design of the subdivision and the proposed
improvements, with Conditions of Approval, will not likely cause significant environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
E. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems because the proposed development is consistent with all applicable
building, development and fire codes, which include provisions to safeguard public health,
and will be further reviewed and inspected by City stafffor compliance with all applicable
building, development and fire codes prior to issuance of any grading, building, or
occupancy permits.
F. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities. The project has been designed to ensure that all setbacks have been met
and that light and air access is available to the extent possible. In addition, the
construction will be required to conform to all state energy efficiency codes as well.
G. The design of the subdivision and 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
subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those
previously acquired by the public will be provided.
The subdivision was designed, and the improvements being proposed including the
residential lots will not conflict with existing or future easements acquired by the public at
large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. The project
is being conditioned to grant all required easements and dedications.
H. The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements
(Quimby Act).
The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements (Quimby
Act) because payment of Quimby fees has been included as a condition of approval of the
project.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Tentative Map:
The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan was formally adopted in 2002. An Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified on December 17, 2002 as part of this
effort. Since that time,five EIR Addendums have been prepared for the project area with
the most recent adopted on January 14, 2020. The proposed project has been determined
to be consistent with the previously adopted Roripaugh Ranch EIR Addendum and is
exempt from further environmental review (Section 15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative
Declarations). Staff has reviewed the EIR, the First Addendum to the EIR adopted on April
23, 2013, the Second Addendum to the EIR adopted on March 22, 2016, the Third
Addendum to the EIR adopted on January 23, 2018, the Fourth Addendum to the EIR
adopted on November 6, 2019, the Fifth Addendum to the EIR adopted on January 14,
2020(collectively, "Addenda"), and has determined that the proposed project is consistent
with the EIR and Addenda as the proposed project merely implements the development that
was already contemplated and analyzed by the EIR and Addenda. The EIR and Addenda
analyzed the impacts of the construction of a 374 unit residential community and tentative
tract map for 13 buildable lots and one (1) open space lot in Planning Areas 28 and 29.
As such, the proposed project does not require the preparation of a subsequent
Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration as none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist.
Additionally, the proposed project does not require the preparation of an addendum to the
EIR as there are no changes or additions to the proposed project from what was analyzed
by the EIR and the Addenda. Therefore, no further environmental review is required as all
environmental impacts of the proposed project were analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated as
set forth in the EIR and Addenda. Moreover, the mitigation measures imposed as part of
the EIR and Addenda remain valid and applicable to the proposed project.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA21-1459, a Tentative Tract Map (TTM 38018) for
the creation of 13 buildable lots and one (1) open space lot located in Planning areas 28
and 29 of the Roripaugh ranch specific plan,subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth
on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning
