(3) The proposed use or action complied with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as its General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its General Plan. The proposed Tract Map is consistent with the SWAP and meets the requirements set forth in Section 65360 of the Government Code, to wit.' A. The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with a preparation of the general plan. The Planning Commission finds, in approving projects and taking other actions, including the issuance of building permits, pursuant to this title, each of the following: (1) There is reasonable probability that the Third Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23103 proposed will be consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which will be studied within a reasonable time, because the project is consistent with the existing SWAP and Zoning Designations, (2) There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed use or action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan, because the project is similar in use and intensity to adjacent development. (3) The proposed use or action complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, because it is consistent with the development standards of Ordinance No. 348, which conforms with State Laws. Pursuant to Section 7.1 of County Ordinance No. 460, no subdivision may be approved unless the following findings are made: That the proposed land division is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. S\STAFFRPT~23103-2.VTM 7 B, That the design or improvement of the proposed land division is consistent with applicable general and specific plans, That the site of the proposed land division is physically suitable for the type of development. That the site of the proposed land division is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. That 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, That the design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. That 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. A land division may be approved if it is found that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Planning Commission in recommending approval of the Second Extension of Time for the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map, makes the following findings, to wit: There is a reasonable probability that this project will be consistent with the City's future General Plan, which will be completed in a reasonable time and in accordance with State law, due to the fact that the project is consistent with existing site development standards in that it proposes articulated design features and site amenities commensurate with existing and anticipated residential development standards, There is not a likely probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future and adopted general plan, if the proposed use or action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan, due to the fact that the project is in conformance with existing and anticipated land use and design guidelines standards. The proposed use or action complies with state planning and zoning laws, due to the fact that the proposed use conforms with those uses listed as "allowed" within the project site's existing Specific Plan No. 199 (Low Density Family Housing) land use designation. S\STAFFRPT~23103-2.VTM 8 The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, circulation patterns, access, and density, due to the fact that; adequate area is provided for all proposed residential structures; adequate landscaping is provided along the project's public and private frontages; and the internal circulation plan should not create traffic conflicts as design provisions are in conformance with adopted City standards. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or welfare, due to the fact that the conditions stated in the approval are based on mitigation measures necessary to reduce or eliminate potential adverse impacts of the project. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23103 is compatible with surrounding land uses. The harmony in scale, bulk, height, density and coverage creates a compatible physical relationship with adjoining properties, due to the fact that the proposal is similar in compatibility with surrounding land uses; and adequate area and design features provide for citing of proposed development in terms of landscaping and internal traffic circulation. The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property because it does not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area, due to the fact that the proposed project is consistent with the current zoning of the subject site (Specific Plan No. 199), and also consistent with the adopted Southwest Area Community Plan (SWAP) designation of Specific Plan. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the built or natural environment as determined in EIR No. 202 and the Negative Declaration adopted by the County for the project, due to the fact that impact mitigation is realized by conformance with the project's Conditions of Approval. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic, due to the fact that the project currently proposes an independent access point from Butterfield Stage Road which has been determined to be adequate by the City Engineer. The design of the subdivision, the type of improvements and the resulting street layout are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed projects, due to the fact that this is clearly represented in the site plan and the project analysis. Said findings are supported by minutes, maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications end herein incorporated by reference, due to the fact that they are referenced in the attached Staff Report, Exhibits, Environmental Assessment, and Conditions of Approval. As conditioned pursuant to SECTION 3, the Second Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract Map proposed is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. S\STAFFRPT~23103-2.VTM 9 SECTION 2. Environmental Compliance. Potential Environmental Impacts were addressed by the County of Riverside for the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23103. The previous adopted Environmental Impact Report therefore, still applies to this site. SECTION 3. Conditions. That the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula recommending approval of Second Extension of Time for Tentative Tract Map No. 23103 to subdivide a 29.2 acre parcel into 18 single family residential lots located west of Butterfield Stage Road between La Serena Way and Rancho California Road and known as Assessors's Parcel No. 923-210-010.
