following findings:
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly incorporated city shall adopt
a general plan within thirty (30) months following incorporation. During that 309-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:
1. The City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general
plan.
2. The planning agency finds, in approving projects and taking other actions,
including the issuance of building permits, each of the following:
a. 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.
Resos 91-94 - 1 -
b. 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.
c. The proposed use or action complied with all other applicable
requirements of state law and local ordinances.
B. 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.
C. The City Council in approving of the proposed Change of Zone, makes the following
findings, to wit:
a. The proposed zone change will not have a significant adverse effect on
the environment, as determined in the initial study performed for this project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
b. There is not a reasonable 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. The project is not a significant scope in the context of city-wide and
regional development patterns.
c. The proposed change in district classification is reasonable and beneficial
at this time as it is a logical expansion of residential uses which exist in the vicinity of the project
site.
d. The proposed change in district classification from R-A-2 % to R-l-1
will likely be consistent with the goals, policies and action programs which will be contained in
the General Plan when it is ultimately adopted. The density and land use proposed are consistent
with the Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) recommendations for the subject property. Further,
densities and uses proposed are similar to existing densities and uses in the vicinity of the project.
e. The site of the proposed change in district classification is suitable to
accommodate all the land uses currently permitted in the proposed zoning district as it is of
adequate size and shape for the proposed residential use. Possible land use conflicts are not likely
to arise as the project proposes residential uses similar to those existing in the general vicinity of
the subject site.
f. Adequate access exists for the proposed residential land use from Walcott
Lane and Calle Chapos. Additional internal access and required road improvements abutting
Rems 91-94 -2-
proposed lots will be designed and constructed in conformance with City standards.
g. That said findings are supported by analysis, minutes maps, exhibits, and
environmental documents associated with this application and herein incorporated by reference.
D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the
community.
SECTION 2. l=.nvironmental Compliance. An Initial Study was performed for this project
determined that Change of Zone No. 15 could not have a significant effect on the environment,
and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.
SECTION 3. Approval. That the City of Temecula City Council hereby approves of
Zone Change No. 15 to change the zoning on 4.5 acres of land from R-A-2 1/2 to R-l-1 on
property generally located at the southeast comer of Walcott Lane and Calle Chapos and known
as Assessor's Parcel No. 914-300-049.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of September, 1991.
