R:\sTAFFRPT\298PAW.PC1 V7l98 vgw 9
1. The project has been the subject of extensive prior environmental review
and an addendum to the previously certified FEIR is appropriate for the following reasons:
A. On July 13, 1995, following a duly noticed public hearing, the City
Council of the City of Temecula adopted Resolution No. 95-49 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA CERTIFYING PLANNING
APPLICATION NO. 95-0031 (FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT) ADOPTING
FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENTS OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATION AND
APPROVING THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM ON PROPERTY GENERALLY
LOCATED WEST OF INTERSTATE 15, EAST OF THE CITY'S WESTERN BORDER,
SOUTH OF RANCHO CALIFORNIA ROAD AND NORTH OF THE SANTA MARGARITA
RIVER, certifying the Environmental Impact Report for the Westside Specific Plan and Planning
Application No. PA95-0003 (Westside Specific Plan) and changing the zone from R-A-20
(Residential Agricultural - Twenty Acre Minimum Parcel Size) to S-P (Specific Plan) for the
Property.
B. The Staff of the Planning Department has prepared an Initial Environmental
Study (IES), dated September 17, 1997, analyzing the proposed Development Plan and the prior
environmental actions on the Project, which IES is incorporated herein by this reference.
C. The proposed Development Plan incorporates the provisions of the City's
General Plan, the Westside Specific Plan, the current zoning regulations for the Property, the
Mitigation Plan of Planning Application No. PA95-0031 (Final Environmental Impact Report) and
such other ordinances, rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses, density,
design, improvement, development fees, and construction standards applicable to the Property.
All of the components of the proposed Development Plan which might affect the environment
were discussed and analyzed in Planning Application No. PA95-0031 (FEIR). Minor changes to
the project have been reviewed and examined in an Addendum to Planning Application No.
PA95-0031 (FEIR).
D. Based on the evidence in the record before it, and after careful consideration
of the evidence, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that neither a Subsequent
EIR or a Supplemental EIR is required for the Development Plan pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21166, 14 Cal. Admin. Code Sections 15162 or 15163, based on the following
findings of the Planning Commission:
1. The elements of the Project as described in the Development Plan
were contemplated and fully and properly analyzed in the EIR certified and approved by the City
Council on July 13, 1995 and the Addendum prepared for the Development Plan (Planning
Application No. PA97-0298;
2. There have been no subsequent changes to the Project which would
require major revisions of the previous FEIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects.

•
3. Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
4. There is no new information since the certification of the previous
FEIR which would show or tend to show that the Project might have one or more significant
effects not discussed in the previous FEIR.
5. There is no new information since the certification of the previous
FEIR which would show or tend to show that significant effects previously examined might be
substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR.
6. There is no new information since the certification of the FEIR
which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternative previously found not
to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects of the Project.
7. There is no new information since the certification of the FEIR
which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably
different from those analyzed in the previous FOR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Environmental Study (IFS) was
conducted to determine if the project was within the scope of the previously certified
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Old Town Redevelopment Project (Planning
Application No. PA95-0031). Based upon this analysis, staff determined an Addendum to the
previously certified EIR be prepared pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The addendum was prepared because changes and additions
were necessary for the project, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the
Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Mitigation measures
approved with the Old Town Redevelopment Project (Planning Application No. PA95-0031) will
apply to this project.
Section 4. Agprml. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
an Addendum to a Previously Certified EIR for the Old Town Redevelopment Project and
Findings that a Subsequent EIR Is not required on 28.6 acres located west of Old Town Temecula
