Temecula Municipal Code.
A. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General
Plan and Development Code;
The proposed Specitic Plan Amendment does not change the land use of the
Specific Plan, which maintains consistency with the General Plan. The proposed
Sign Program is consistent with the Development Code and staff has made the
appropriate findings to support the Sign Program. In addition, allowing 'day spas'
as a permitted use is consistent with the Development Code allowing `personal
' service shops' as a permitted us in all commercial zones.
B. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not be detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City;
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment to modify the Sign Criteria and allow
"day spas" as a permitted use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience or welfare of the City as supported in the conclusion of the
Initial Study for this project.
C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use
designations and the anticipated land use developments;
The subject property is currently developed as a major shopping center and
surrounded by other urban uses. The proposed amendment does not change
the land use designations of the Specific Plan. The proposed Sign Program will
allow taller and vaned signage from previously identified in the Specific Plan and
allow `day spas' as a permitted, rather than conditional use. The subject property
is physically suitable for this type of development.
D. The proposed Specific Plan shall ensure development of a desirable
character which will be compatible with the existing and proposed development in the

effects of the approval of the Specific Plan Amendment, as described in the Initial
Study. Based upon the findings contained in that study, City staff determined that there
was no substantial evidence that the Project could have a significant effect on the
environment and a Negative Declaration was prepared. The City Council has reviewed
the Negative Declaration, and based on the whole record before it finds that (1) the
Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (2) there is no
substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment.
Based on the findings set forth in this Ordinance, the City Council hereby adopts the
Negative Declaration prepared for this project.
