Modifications, Development Code Section 17.05.030
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 project will allow for architectural and site plan modifications to an existing
commercial structure. The structure has been used as a restaurant for many years and will
continue to be utilized as a restaurant at the completion of the project. Restaurants are an
allowable use for the project site. 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 site has operated as a restaurant in the past and will continue to do so once
the project is completed. 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 public health, safety, and general welfare. Negative
impacts are not anticipated.
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 (Section 15301,
Class, 1, Existing Facilities);
The project will allow for modifications to the exterior and related site of an existing
commercial structure. The project site has been used as a restaurant for numerous years
and will continue to be used in this capacity once the project is completed. In addition, the
project will not increase the square footage of the existing structure or increase the
acreage of the project site. Therefore, the project involves no expansion of use for the
project site.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA21-0619, a Modification Application to a Development Plan to allow
architectural revisions and public right-of-way improvements to be constructed on an existing
