BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On October 15, 2019, Stanley Heaton submitted Planning Application No. PA19-1361, a
Tentative Parcel Map (TPM No. 37615) to subdivide the 5.01-acre property, located at 39835
Cantrell Road into two parcels. Mr. Heaton also submitted Planning Application Number PA20-
0094, a Minor Exception to allow for a reduction in the required minimum net acreage from 2.5
net acres to one 2.43 net acre parcel and one 2.30 net acre parcel. Net acreage is defined by the
Temecula Municipal Code as the gross project or lot area, less that portion of the site to be used
for arterial and collector roads and/or the floodway portion of a flood plain.
The Temecula Municipal Code requires a “Minimum Net Lot Area” of 2.5 acres per lot in the
Very Low Density Residential Zoning District. “Net lot area” as defined by the Temecula
Municipal Code is the area within the lot lines of a lot exclusive of any dedications for publi c
rights-of-way, public parks and public school sites. The project is conditioned to dedicate 0.28
acres for public right-of-way along its frontage with Cantrell Road.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed. The
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Tentative Parcel Map
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map will divide an existing 5.01-acre parcel into two individual
parcels. The gross acreage of Parcel 1 (the northern property) will be 2.50 acres and the gross
acreage of Parcel 2 (the southern property) will be 2.51 acres.
As discussed above, the project is conditioned to dedicate 0.28 acres for public right-of-way
along its frontage with Cantrell Road. After the reduction of lot size for the public right-of-way
dedication, the net lot area of Parcel 1 will be 2.30 acres and the net lot area of Parcel 2 will be
2.43 acres. The Temecula Municipal Code (Section 17.03.060.B.1) allows for reductions by less
than 15 percent of the 2.5-acre minimum lot area requirement for the Very Low Density
Residential District (VL Zone) through approval of a Minor Exception.
3
Minor Exception
A Minor Exception application (PA20-0094) was submitted for the proposed Tentative Parcel
Map application. As required for a Minor Exception, the proposed lot area reductions are less
than 15 percent. After the reduction of lot size for the public right-of-way dedication, the net lot
area of Parcel 1 will be 2.30 acres (an 8.0% reduction) and the net lot area of Parcel 2 will be
2.43 acres (a 2.8% reduction). Therefore, the proposed reduction in lot area is consistent with
the Minor Exception requirements of the Temecula Municipal Code (Section 17.03.060.B.1).
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the SD Union Tribune on July 23, 2020 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15061 (b)(3)).
The Tentative Parcel Map is the subdivision of one parcel into two individual parcels
and does not propose grading or construction of any kind on the project site. The
tentative parcel map does not have potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment and therefore is not subject to CEQA.
FINDINGS
Tentative Maps (Section 16.09.140)
The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision are consistent
with the Development Code, General Plan and City of Temecula Municipal Code.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 37615 has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the
General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Development Code, and the Municipal Code. As
proposed, the project meets all development and design standards as required in the General
Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into
pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.
The subject parcel does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into
pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965. The subject property has not been
designated for conservation or agricultural land, and is not subject to the California Land
Conservation Act of 1965.
The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed by the
Tentative Map.
4
The project consists of a Tentative Parcel Map on property designated for residential
development and is designed consistent with the requirements of the Very-Low Density
Residential Zoning District, General Plan, and Development Code. Therefore, the site is
physically suitable for the type of proposed density of development proposed by the Tentative
Map.
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with Conditions of Approval are
not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
The project consists of a Tentative Parcel Map on improved property and does not propose any
grading or construction. As conditioned, the project is not likely to cause significant
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public
health problems.
The project consists of a Tentative Parcel Map on improved property. As designed and
conditioned, the project is not likely to cause public health problems.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision.
All required rights-of-way and easements have been provided on the Tentative Parcel Map. The
City has reviewed these easements and has found no potential conflicts.
The subdivision is consistent with the City’s parkland dedication requirements and is consistent
with the Quimby Act;
This map will allow for new residential units that will be subject to Quimby fees.
Minor Exception (Code Section 17.03.060.B.1)
That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict application of the
code due to the physical characteristics of the property.
Due to the public right-of-way dedication required from the project for Cantrell Road, a
hardship is created by the strict application of the Development Code in that the project meets
the minimum lot area required to subdivide the 5.01-acre parcel if roadway dedication were not
5
required, but is well within the allowance for a Minor Exception. As required for a Minor
Exception, the proposed lot area reductions are less than 15 percent. After the reduction of lot
size for the public right-of-way dedication, the net lot area of Parcel 1 will be 2.30 acres (an
8.0% reduction) and the net lot area of Parcel 2 will be 2.43 acres (a 2.8% reduction).
Therefore, the proposed reduction in lot area is consistent with the Minor Exception
requirements of the Temecula Municipal Code.
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 in tended
to meet the intent of the Very Low Density Residential District per the General Plan and
Development Code. The result of permitting this Minor Exception will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or to the property of other persons as the lot size reduction does not change the
“Ranchette Neighborhood” described in the General Plan considering there are many examples
of pre-existing non-conforming VL zoned parcels in the City less than 2.5 acres in size. 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.
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 residential land use proposed is
permitted per the VL zone and the Minor Exception will not permit uses which are not otherwise
allowed in the zone.

Section 3. Findings of Approval of Minor Exception, Development Code Section
17.03.060.B.1
A. That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict
application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property.
Due to the public right-of-way dedication required from the project for Cantrell Road, a
hardship is created by the strict application of the Development Code in that the project
meets the minimum lot area required to subdivide the 5.01-acre parcel if roadway
dedication were not required, but is well within the allowance for a Minor Exception. As
required for a Minor Exception, the proposed lot area reductions are less than 15 percent.
After the reduction of lot size for the public right-of-way dedication, the net lot area of
Parcel 1 will be 2.30 acres (an 8.0% reduction) and the net lot area of Parcel 2 will be 2.43
acres (a 2.8% reduction). Therefore, the proposed reduction in lot area is consistent with
the Minor Exception requirements of the Temecula Municipal Code.
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 Very Low Density Residential District per the General
Plan and Development Code. The result of permitting this Minor Ex ception will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or to the property of other persons as the lot size reduction
does not change the “Ranchette Neighborhood” described in the General Plan considering
there are many examples of pre-existing non-conforming VL zoned parcels in the City less
than 2.5 acres in size. 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.
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 residential land use proposed is
permitted per the VL zone and the Minor Exception will not permit uses which are not
otherwise allowed in the zone.
Section 4. Environmental Findings. The Director of Community Development hereby
makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Tentative Parcel Map 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 15061
(b)(3)).
The Tentative Parcel Map is the subdivision of one parcel into two individual parcels and
does not propose grading or construction of any kind on the project site. The tentative
parcel map does not have potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and
therefore is not subject to CEQA.
Section 5. Conditions. The Director of Community Development of the City of
Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA19-1361, a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM No.
37615) to subdivide the 5.01-acre property located at 39835 Cantrell Road into two parcels; and
