A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL DENIAL OF
PLANNING APPLICATION PA02-0372 A REQUEST FOR A
CHANGE OF ZONE FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (L-l) TO
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (L-2), GENERALLY LOCATED ON
THE EAST SIDE OF YNEZ ROAD, OPPOSITE QUIET MEADOWS
ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 473 LINEAR FEET NORTH OF THE
CENTER LINE OF SANTIAGO ROAD, KNOWN AS ASSESSOR
PARCEL NO. 945-060-006.
WHEREAS, Marchand-Way Development Inc., filed Planning Application No. PA02-0372
(Change of Zone), in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development
Code;
WHEREAS, the Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application on
May 7, 2003, 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;
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Commission hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Commission recommended City Council denial of the Application subject to and
based upon the findings set forth hereunder;
WHEREAS, all legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.
by reference.
That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
Section 2. Findinqs. The Planning Commission, in recommending denial of Planning
Application No. PA02-0372, hereby finds that the amendment to the Official Zoning Map is not
consistent with the adopted General Plan goals for the City of Temecula, because Land Use
Element Goal No. 3, strives for "land use patterns that will protect and enhance residential
neighborhoods". The current zoning designation of the abutting parcels to the north, south, and
southeast is L-1 and their lot sizes range between 91,462 sq. ft. and 124,938 sq. ft. The zone
change request to L-2 would permit the subdivision of the 4.5-acre site into a maximum of seven (7)
single-family homes on minimum 21,780 square foot lots. The higher density permitted with the
proposed zoning is not compatible with the abutting land use patterns of larger lots with a single
home on each. Development Code Section 17.06.020C states that the L-1 and L-2 designation is
"intended to provide for the development of single-family detached homes on larger lots with a
custom character of development.
