Section 17.04.010.E of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the general plan and the
development code.
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development
Code. The project site is zoned Service Commercial and the General Plan designation
for the site is Service Commercial, which allows for used automobile dealers with no
outdoor display provided a conditional use permit is issued. The number of parking
spaces existing on the site meets the parking required for the existing and proposed
tenants. Therefore, the project is consistent with the parking standards within the
development code.

B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will
not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with this location because the proposed
use is conditionally permitted in the Service Commercial zone and the project site is
currently developed with all improvements in place, including parking. Furthermore,
vehicular related uses exist in the vicinity of the site, which make the proposed use
compatible with and complimentary to several of the existing uses surrounding the site.
C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping,
and other development features prescribed in this development code and required by the
Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the
neighborhood.
The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate this use because the project site is currently developed and the
proposed use does not propose any additions or exterior alterations to the existing
building or site. The proposed parking demand does not exceed the existing parking
spaces. Therefore, the site is adequate for the proposed use.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety, and general welfare of the community.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health safety and
general welfare of the community. The project site is adequate for the size and scope
of the project and the showroom wíll provide additional opportunities and services to the
community to purchase used cars within the community.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. The project is categorically exempt from
environmental review (Class 1 - Existing Facilities) pursuant to section 15301 of the California
Environmental Quality Act. Class 1 applies to minor alteration of existing structures that involve
negligible or no expansion of use.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Director of Planning hereby
conditionally approves Planning Application No. PA04-050B (Minor Conditional Use Permit) for
the sale of used automobiles from a 1,375 square foot showroom situated within an existing
commercial building, located at 2BB60 Old Town Front Street, Suite B1, known as Assessor
Parcel No. 922-094-002, subject to the conditions of approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached
