BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On August25, 2020,Lule Hoda, on behalf of Tesla Motors, Inc., submitted Planning Application
PA20-1006to allow for auto sales and storage within an existing industrial building.
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
Planning Application No. PA20-1006is a request for a Conditional Use Permit by Tesla Motor’s
representative, Diana Tran,to operate aused car dealership at 43191Rancho Way within the
20,567 square-foot industrial building(including a 3.960 square-foot mezzanine).As described in
the statement of operations, the primary services of the Tesla tenant areto provide repairs and
services of electric vehicles including standard servicing, general parts repairs, software updates,
tire replacement and balancing, battery replacement, and minor body work. TheLight Industrial
(LI) zoning designation allows these services to be permitted by right.
Per the Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.08.030, the Light Industrial (LI) zone necessitates
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for automobile sales with only indoor display and
storage of vehicles. Tesla proposes to use about 19.5% of the building square footage for the
ancillary dealership uses including office and indoor sales and display of vehicles. The office, sales
and showroom will occupy 4,023 square feet of the 20,567 square foot building. Other uses within
the building includes parts storage onthe 3,960 square foot mezzanine, 10,420 square feet
dedicated for service areas and deliveries, 1,302 square feet for parts and storage on the first floor,
and another 862 square feet for toilets and hallways.
The proposed Conditional Use Permit will not add any additional square footage or make
alterations tothe exterior of the building.
The proposed Conditional Use Permit would staff 20 employees and permit the facility to operate
between 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.Monday through Saturdayand 11:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. on
Sundays.Tesla will allow customers to view their indoor product showroom and allows them to
2
test drive vehicles, shop for vehicles (on-site and online) and allow for previous customers to pick
up their purchase orderat this location.This Tesla dealer will serve the Southwest Riverside
County area. The nearest northerly Tesla dealers arein Mission Viejo (30 miles)north,to the south
is Carlsbad (25 miles) and Palm Springs (45 miles) to the east.
There will be no outdoor display of sellable vehicles. The two vehicles displayed in the showroom
are fordisplayonly.As shown on the site plan, there will be nine (9) test drive only vehicles parked
on the southeast portion of the lot.No vehicles will be stored, displayed, or sold in the public right-
of-way, in parking stalls, or on any landscaping.
The City of Temecula Development Code provides parking requirements in Table 17.24.040. Per
this Table, 50parking spaces are required for the office, automotive services, storage and
dealership spaces operating within the building. There are currently 93parking spaces on-site.

Dear Ms. Anderson:
Enclosed is the Notice of Exemption for the above referenced project. In addition, pursuant to
Assembly Bill 3158 (Chapter 1706) please find a check in the amount of $50.00, for the County
Administrative fee to enable the City to file the Notice of Exemption required under Public Resources
Code Section 21152 and 14 California Code Regulations 1507. The City of Temecula is paying the
$50.00 filing fee under protest. It is the opinion of the City that the administrative fee has been
increased in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of State Law. Under Public Resources Code
Section 21152 and 14 California Code Regulations 1507, the County is entitled to receive a $25.00
filing fee.
Also, please return a stamped copy of the Notice of Exemption within five working days after the 30-
day posting in the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Jaime Cardenas at (951) 240-4215.
Sincerely,
Luke Watson
Director of Community Development
