does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On December 28, 2020, Steve Shaw, on behalf of Del Taco, submitted Planning
Application PA20-1478, a Modification to a Development Plan, 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 April 21, 2021, 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's Hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No.
PA20-1478 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in Planning
Application No. PA20-1478 conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan and Development
Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning
Application No. PA20-1478 hereby makes the following findings as required by Section
17.05.030.E (Modifications to an approved Development Plan) of the Temecula Municipal Code:
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.
As conditioned, the proposed Modification to the Development Plan is consistent with the General
Plan policies for the Community Commercial (CC) land use designation. Specifically, Policy 2.9
of the Community Design element of the General Plan states, "Establish rehabilitation programs
for older commercial centers to prevent blight and maintain the quality of the built environment".
The proposed project will significantly rehabilitate a portion of an existing commercial center with
private funds. The site is properly planned and zoned and is physically suitable for the use
proposed. The project is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local
ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Wide 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.
As conditioned, the project will meet all requirements of the Development Code, General Plan,
and Building and Fire Codes, which provide safeguards for the health, safety and general welfare
of the community. The overall design of the site, building, landscaping, parking, circulation and
other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health and safety
of those working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for and 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.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Major
Modification application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review per Section 15301,
Class 1 (Existing Facilities).
The proposed Modification to the Development Plan involves minor interior and exterior
alterations of an existing building involving a negligible expansion of use beyond that existing at
the time of the Planning Commission 's determination. The proposed project will add a 235 square
foot hallway, a new tower element to the south facade and updated paint and materials to the Del
Taco restaurant. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, the addition is considered
negligible as it will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the
structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less. The structure itself is
currently 1,895 square feet in size before the addition and, therefore, the proposed improvements
are considered minor alterations to an existing building.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula hereby
approves Planning Application No. PA20-1478, a Modification Application to a Development
Plan to add a 235 square foot hallway, a new tower element to the south facade and updated paint
and materials to the Del Taco restaurant building located at 27453 Ynez Road, subject to the
Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
