(APN 910-470-034)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Director of Community Development of the City
of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On January 11, 2021, Patrick Salcedo, on behalf of the Owner, filed Planning
Application No. PA21-0048, a Modification 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 Director of Community Development, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on June 10, 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 Director's Hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Director of Community Development approved Planning Application No. PA21-
0048 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in Planning
Application No. PA21-0048, conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan Development
Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Director of Community Development, in approving
Planning Application No. PA21-0048, hereby makes the following findings as required by
Development Code Section 17.05.030.E (Modifications).
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 proposed project will allow for an additional drive-thru lane, additional square
footage to the existing structure, and relocate the trash enclosure. The use will remain as
a fast food restaurant at the completion of the project. Therefore, the use will remain in
conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable requirements of
State Law and other Ordinances of the City.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure compliance with the Building,
Development, and Fire Codes. These Codes contain provisions designed to provide for the
protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. Negative impacts are not
anticipated. In addition, the project will need to complete the building permit plan check
process to obtain a building permit before any work is done on the project site.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director of Community Development hereby
makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Conditional Use Permit 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 15301,
Class 1, Existing Facilities).
The project will allow for a minor square footage increase for an existing use and include
the incorporation of an additional drive-thru lane for an existing drive-thru facility. These
additions will improve the overall operations of the facility and improve the wait times and
queue length of the existing drive-thru. These revisions represent a negligible impact to the
existing facility. Negative impacts are not anticipated.
Section 4. Conditions. The Director of Community Development of the City of
Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA21-0048, a Modification application to allow an
existing fast food restaurant to reconfigure the existing drive-thru, relocate an existing trash
enclosure, and add square footage and landscaping located at 40531 Margarita Road, subject to
the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
