Findings. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly incorporated city shall adopt a general plan within thirty (30) months following incorporation. During that 30-month period of time, the city is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the general plan, if all of the following requirements are met: The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general plan. The planning agency finds, in approving projects and taking other actions, including the issuance of building permits, each of the following: (1) There is a reasonable probability that the land use or action proposed will be consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which will be studied within a reasonable time. S\$TAFFRPTt23209.TTM 9 (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. (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 Tentative 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 recommending approval of 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 Tentative Tract Map No. 23209 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 current 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 it is adjacent to uses which are similar in intensity. (3) The proposed use or action complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances, because the project conforms with 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, 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. mSTAFFRPT~23209.TTM 1 0 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 proposed Tentative Tract Map, makes the following findings, to wit: The proposed Tract Map will not have significant negative impact on the environment, as determined in the Initial Environmental Assessment prepared for Tentative Tract Map No. 23209. A Negative Declaration is recommended to be reaffirmed. There is a reasonable probability that this proposal will be consistent with the General Plan being prepared at this time. The map is consistent with applicable subdivision and land use ordinances, and conforms with the City's Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) guidelines affecting the subject property. There is not a likely probability of substantial detriment to, or interference with, the future adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. The project is consistent with surrounding development, and does not logically have the potential to generate significant adverse environmental impacts. Do The proposed use or action complies with City and State planning and zoning laws. Reference local Ordinances No. 348,460, California Governmental Code Sections 65000-66009 (Planning Zoning Law), and Government Code Title 7, Division 2. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of parcel configurations, access, and density. The project has access to public rights-of-way, and is designed with sufficient pad areas allowing appropriate building pad sites. S\STAFFRPT~23209.TTM 1 1 The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the built or natural environment as determined in the initial study prepared for this project. Reference the attached Initial Environmental Study and Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 23209. 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 project as conditioned. Ho The site for the proposed use is provided legal access via La Serena and Butterfield Stage Road public rights-of-way. Development of these roads shall comply with City Engineering Conditions of Approval contained herein. The proposed project will not inhibit or restrict future ability to use active or passive solar energy systems. Adequate lot areas and exposures are provided for these alternatives. Jo The proposed use will not have a substantial adverse affect on abutting properties or the permitted use thereof. The proposed map provides for residential development similar in character and densities evident on vicinity properties. Land use incongruities and associated adverse affects arising from implementation of this proposal are unlikely. As conditioned pursuant to SECTION III, the Tentative Tract Map is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. SECTION II. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this project indicates that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted. SECTION III. Conditions. That the City of Temeoula Planning Commission hereby approves Tentative Tract Map No. 23209 for the subdivision of 80 acres into 220 residential lots and a 2.9 acre park site in the R-T zone located at the easterly terminus of La Serena Way and known as Assessor's Tract No. 914-310-016, 914-310-018 through 032 subject to the following conditions: 1.
