The f'mdings for the original approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 23372, Amendment No. 1 are found to remain valid except as amended herein. B. No subsequent changes are proposed in the project which would require revisions to the previously Certified Environmental Impact Report (F_IR) No. 202. The project does not include new significant, unmitigable environmental impacts that were not considered in. the previously Certified Environmental Impact Report on the project. C. No new information of substantial importance to the project has become available. R:\S\STAFFRPT~23372-1.PC 12/30/93 klb 7 D. The project has been previously approved as a Vesting Tentative Map. The General Plan land use designation for Planning Area No. 40 is High Density Residential (13-20 d.u./acre). The density of this area that was approved through the Specific Plan and the Vesting Tentative Tract Map is 25 d.u./acre. This inconsistency with the subsequently adopted General Plan does not necessarily constitute grounds for denial of this extension. Planning Area No. 41 is consistent with the City's General Plan. The General Plan land use designation for Planning Area No. 41 is Medium Density Residential (7-12 d.u./acre) and the Specific Plan designation is Medium High Density Residential (7.7 d.u./acre target density). E. The proposed use or action complies with State Planning and Zoning Laws. The proposed use complies with the Subdivision Map Act, and City of Temecula Ordinances No. 460 and 348. F. 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 intensity of use, due to the fact that the proposed residential development complies with the standards of Ordinances No. 460 and 348. G. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or welfare, due to the fact that the Conditions of Approval include mitigation measures. H. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The harmony in scale, bulk, height, intensity, and coverage creates a compatible physical relationship with adjoining properties, because low-medium density residential uses exist to the east and are buffered by a golf course to the north and west of the site. The General Plan land Use designations are medium density residential for the parcels which are immediately adjacent to the north and west . of the site. I. 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 use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. i. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic, because access will be off of Meadows Parkway which will be a publicly maintained street. K. The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not ' in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. L. Said fmdings are supported by maps and environmental documents associated with . these applications and herein incorporated by reference. M. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, the Tentative Tract Map is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. R:\S\STAFFRPT~23372-1.PC 12/30/93 Idb 8 Section 3. Environmental Compliance. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 202 was previously adopted by Riverside County for Specific Plan No. 199. Staff has determined that said EIR still applies to this subdivision because no subsequent, unmitigable changes are proposed in the project which would require revisions to the previous Certified Environmental Impact Report. The project does not include new significant, unmitigable environmental impacts that were not considered in the previously Certified Environmental Impact Report on the project. Section 4. Conditions.
