Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On January 16, 2019 Steve Whyld filed Planning Application No. PA19-0081, a
Development Plan Application, 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 Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on November 4,2020, 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 Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA19-0081
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Development Plan, Development Code (Section 17.05.010F)
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 General Plan designation for the project site is Medium (M) residential. The General
Plan states that congregate care facilities can be permitted in Medium residential districts
upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. However, the Harveston Specific Plan
designates the project site as Low Medium Density Residential with a Mixed Use Overlay.
The use matrix for the Mixed Use Overlay states that congregate care facilities, retail
establishments, and restaurants are all permitted uses for the project site. In addition, the
proposed building meets all requirements of the specific plan with regard to overall design.
The proposed project is consistent with both the General Plan and Harveston Specific
Plan. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
The existing commercial structure and associated parking, pedestrian pathways,
driveways, light standards, and perimeter landscaping were previously approved by the
Planning Commission under a separate permit and already exist onsite. The current
project proposes to construct a three-story commercial structure totaling approximately
27,514 square feet. The project conforms to the development regulations listed in the
Harveston Specific Plan and the Development Code. The proposed site layout for the
project has been reviewed utilizing the Mixed Use Overlay standards of the Harveston
Specific Plan. 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.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Development Plan Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, it has been
determined that no further environmental review is required for the proposed project (Section
15162, Subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations)
The project will allow for the development of a new commercial structure. The scope of
this structure is within the parameters of the Harveston Specific Plan and associated
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR for Harveston was certified in August 2001. The
uses that will be permitted within the structure are consistent with the Use Matrix of the specific
plan. Therefore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to require no further environmental review since it is consistent with the
previously approved specific plan and certified EIR. Staff has determined that the proposed
project does not require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report as none of
the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162)
exist. Specifically, there are no substantial changes proposed by the proposed project that will
require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the
proposed project are undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects;and there is no new information of substantial importance,
which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time the previous EIR was adopted, showing that: (a) the proposed project will have one or
more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (b) there are significant effects previously
examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (c) there are mitigation
measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the proposed project, but the City declines
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which
are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative. A Notice of Determination will be prepared for the project (CEQA Section 15162
Subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations)
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA19-0081, a Development Plan application to allow for the
construction of an approximately 27,514 square foot three-story building comprised of a

146. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
that"the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery
or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition
can serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional
zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public
to private space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations
where there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe
locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the
location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e.
Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural
surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel
safer. f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may
conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for example) by
distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of
space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause
abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to
increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk
of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide
such a perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be
accomplished through improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
147. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their location
can contact the Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police Department at (951)
695-2773.
148. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
