BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On June 3, 2019, Mike Pontious submitted Planning Application No. PA19-0817, a Conditional
Use Permit for a vocational school and on June 12, 2019 submitted Planning Application No.
PA19-0867 a Minor Exception for an approximately 7.5% reduction in the required parking from
26 spaces to 24 spaces and Planning Application No. PA19-0868 a Modification for the installation
of a playground, relocation of a trash enclosure, installation of safety fencing, a new 48" high wall
around re -located electrical transformers, and the modification of existing storefront windows to
accommodate storefront doors for exiting purposes located at 42389 Winchester Road.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The project is located in the Light Industrial zoning district at 42389 Winchester Road at an
existing commercial building. The Conditional Use Permit allows for a vocational school that
provides educational services combined with medical care as needed for typical and medically
fragile children ranging in age from infant to young adults. The educational programs are designed
to meet the specific educational and supportive care needs of the children they serve in an
educational environment. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to
6:30 p.m. along with a "Respite" retreat offered two weekends a month which allows families the
flexibility to get away or recover from the rigors of caring for a medically fragile child. The hours
for the "Respite" program are Friday from 3:30 p.m. to Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
The Minor Exception will allow for an approximately 7.5% reduction in required parking from 26
spaces to 24 spaces. Given that students that use this facility do not drive and are dropped off
during a two hour window in the morning and are picked up during a three hour window in the
afternoon, the reduction of parking spaces will not result in a parking deficiency for the project
site.
The main components of the Modification include:
- Relocation of trash enclosure and upgrading with solid cover
- New outdoor play area
- Installation of safety fencing around new outdoor play area
- New 48" high wall around relocated electrical transformers
- Replacement of existing windows with new doors
- Upgraded landscaping
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on August 22, 2019 and
mailed to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.

Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Director of Community Development of the
City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On June 12, 2019, Mike Pontious filed Planning Application Nos. PA19-0867, a
Minor Exception and PA19-0868 a Modification, in a manner in accord with the City of
Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Director of Community Development, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on September 5, 2019, at a duly noticed public hearing as
prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and
did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Director's Hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Director of Community Development approved Planning Application Nos. PA19-
0867 and PA19-0868 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed
in Planning Application Nos. PA19-0867 and PA19-0868 conformed to the City of Temecula's
General Plan and Development Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Director of Community Development, in approving
Planning Application Nos. PA19-0867 and PA19-0868 hereby makes the following findings as
required by Section 17.05.010.F (Development Plan) and Section 17.03.060.D (Minor
Exception) of the Temecula Municipal Code:
1
Development Plan / Section 17.05.O10.F
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and
with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
The proposed project consists of the installation of a playground, relocation of a trash
enclosure, installation of safety fencing, a new 48" high wall around re -located electrical
transformers, and the modification of existing storefront windows to accommodate
storefront doors for exiting purposes. The General Plan allows for vocational school
uses at the project site. Therefore, the project is consistent with the General Plan for
Temecula. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable
requirements of State law and local Ordinances, including the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the Citywide Design Guidelines, and Fire and Building codes.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, and parking is consistent
with, and intended to protect the health and safety of those working and living in and
around the site as the project is consistent with the General Plan, City Wide Design
Guidelines, and Development Code. The project has been reviewed for, and as
conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines,
standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed
and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare.
Minor Exception, Development Code Section 17.03.060.D
A. That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict
application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property.
The proposal is for a 7.5% reduction in the required parking from 26 spaces to 24
spaces. Due to the nature of the business as a vocational school for individuals that
cannot drive and are dropped off the parking spaces on the project site will not be fully
utilized throughout the day. The allowance for a reduction in parking will allow for the
land use of a vocational school to take place at the project site.
B. The Minor Exception does not grant special privileges which are not otherwise
available to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity.
Permitting this Minor Exception will not grant special privileges to the applicant and is
intended to meet the intent of the General Plan which allows for vocational schools on
the project site. The result of permitting this Minor Exception will not be detrimental to
the public welfare or to the property of other persons as the reduction of parking will
allow for the business to operate at the proposed location. The project has been reviewed
and, as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies,
guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be
constructed and function in a manner consistent with the protection of the public health,
safety, and welfare.
2
C. The Minor Exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect
surrounding properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the zone.
The project has been conditioned by the Planning, Fire, Building, Police, and Public
Works Departments to protect the surrounding properties. The vocational school land
use proposed is permitted within the Light Industrial zoning district.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director of Community Development
hereby makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the
approval of the Conditional Use application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section
15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities);
The project meets all General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations. The project is
proposing a vocational school use, exterior modifications, and a reduction in required
parking. All access and public utilities are available to the site. The proposed use is in
conformance with all zoning requirements of the Development Code.

Minor Exception for an approximately 7.5% reduction in the required parking from 26 spaces to
24 spaces located at 42389 Winchester Road, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

Section C: Statement of Operations
March 29, 2019
Business Operations: Together We Grow provides educational services combined with medical care as
needed for Typical and medically fragile children ranging in age from infant to young adults (Biological
age up to 22 years of age). Their educational programs are designed to meet the specific educational
and supportive care needs of the children they serve in an educational environment that insures that
each child will reach their fullest potential as a student.
Hours of Operation: Students arrive at the campus from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM Monday through Friday
and are picked up from the campus beginning around 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday. Two
weekends per month, 15-25 Children participate in a "Respite" retreat, which allows their families the
flexibility to get away or recover from the rigors of caring for a medically fragile child. The hours of this
program start at 3:30 on Friday and end at around 6:00 PM on Sunday.
Number of Employees: 25-30
Security: Not Required
Number of Students: 25- 30
Total Number of Parking Spaces: 36
Food Services: Typically, food service is limited to a Microwave oven for preparation. There will be some
refrigeration required for food storage.
No Alcohol will be onsite.
No entertainment on site.
SECTION D: Statement of Justification
March 29, 2019
The site is ideally suited for the intended use. The educational component can be situated at
the rear of the building and both interior activities and exterior activities will be shielded from the
public. The activities on the campus would have zero impact on the surrounding properties regarding
traffic because arrivals in the morning and pickups in the afternoon are spread out over a 3-hour period.
There also would be a beneficial impact on the community at large, because this educational component
is not currently available. The proposed use is 100% compatible with the existing usage.
