Section 2. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby makes the following
findings for denial pursuant to Development Code Section 17.05.010F:
A. The proposed grocery store is not in conformance with the current General Plan
land use designation of Neighborhood Commercial. As defined in the
General Plan "Neighborhood Commercial designation includes smaller-scale
business activities which generally provide retail or convenience services for
the local residents in the surrounding neighborhood (Page 2-29)." Small
food markets less than 25,000 square feet are permitted in the Neighborhood
Commercial zoning district, however the proposed 48,427 square foot
supermarket is not a permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial zoning
district (Section 17.08.030).
B. Goal number three of the General Plan Land Use Element requires a land use
pattern that will protect and enhance residential neighborhoods be adopted.
The City Council has adopted a land use pattern that in fact protects the
residential neighborhoods. The proposed Development Plan application
requests a 48,427-sqaure foot supermarket, which is not consistent with the
General Plan. The project as proposed is not compatible with the
surrounding single-family residences. The proposed project has not taken
into account the general welfare of the surrounding property owners. The
site plan has sited proposed buildings that have been determined to be too
close to the existing single-family homes.
C. Goal number three of the Community Design Element, states that the
preservation of the character of the single-family neighborhoods and their
protection from intrusions from buildings that are "out of scale", is of
particular importance. The proposed amendment is not consistent with this
goal by permitting future development that is "out of scale" in relation to the
existing homes.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby denies Planning
Application No. PA02-0273, a Development Plan for the design, construction and operation of a
48,372 square foot grocery store, a 13,217 square foot drug store, a 11,571 square foot retail
building, a 10,568 square foot retail building, and a 9,603 square foot retail building, generally
located at the southeast corner of Rancho California and Meadows Parkway, known as
Assessor's Parcel No. 954-030-001.
Section 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
