A. Pursuant to Section 7.1 of County Ordinance No. 460, no subdivision may be

R:\STAFFRPT\2582PA96.PC 4/21/98 jid 7
1. The proposed land divisions and the design or improvement of the projects is
consistent with the General Plan designation and Specific Plan No. 219. The site is physically
suitable for the type and density of development. The General Plan Land Use designations for
the site are Medium Density Residential (2-5 dwelling units per acre) and Medium High Density
Residential (5-8 dwelling units per acre). Planning Areas 2,3 and 4 propose 562 residential
parcels on 124 acres for a density of 4.5 units per acre and is consistent with the Medium High
density designation (v'rrM 24182). Planning Area 5 proposes 151 dwelling units on 48.8 acres
for a density of 3.1 units per acre and is consistent with the Medium density designation.
2. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely
to cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with
Specific Plan No. 219, 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 conforms 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 Pauba Road, Margarita
Road, Highway 79 (S) and Butterfield Stage Road, and will not obstruct any easements.
4. The map as proposed, conforms to the logical development of the proposed site,
and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements are not likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat. There are no known fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project
will not affect any fish, wildlife or habitat off-site. The project site has been previously graded
and will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined
in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
Section 3. FJnvironmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report No. 235 was
prepared for Specific Plan No. 219 and was certified by the Riverside County Board of
Supervisors. In addition, an Addendum to that EIR was prepared in 1992 for Amendment No.
4 to the Paloma del Sol Specific Plan. Another Initial Environmental Assessment was prepared
to examine the question of whether any impacts, beyond those analyzed in the previous EIR and
subsequent studies, would result from the proposed project, changes in circumstances, or from
new information. Based upon that analysis, the project is consistent with the information
contained in the previously certified EIR. Due to the limited scope of the proposed changes to
the specific plan, there will be no effect beyond that which was reviewed in 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
R:\STAFFRPT\2582PA96.PC 4/9/98 jid 8
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. Staff is recommending the Commission make a determination of consistency 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.'s PA96-0258 and PA96-0259 (Revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No.'s 24182 and 24183, respectively) located north west of the intersection of Butterfield Stage
