continued off-calendar to allow the applicant to consider some comments that were received from
the public.
C. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
D. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on May 4, 2022, 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.
E. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA21-1470,
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
F. 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 in accordance with Temecula Municipal Code Section
17.05.010.F (Development Plan):
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 is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because industrial
buildings are an allowable use within the Industrial Park designation. Therefore, the
p r op o s e d p r oj e c t is in c o nfo r m a n c e w it h th e G e n e r a l P la n. Th e p r oj e c t is a lso c o n s isten t
w it h o th e r app li c a b le r e q u ir e m e n ts of Sta te la w a n d lo c a l O rd in a n c e s, in cl u d in g th e
C ityw ide D e s ig n G u ide li n e s , a n d F ir e a n d B u il d in g c o de s .
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation and
other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health
and safety of those working and living in an around the site as the project is consistent with
the General Plan, City Wide Design Guidelines, and Development Code. 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:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15332,
In-Fill Development Projects);
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general
plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because industrial
buildings are an allowable use within the Industrial Park designation. The project also meets all
applicable General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The project is located within City limits and is located on a site that is 2. 4 acres in size. The
proposed project is substantially surrounded by industrial development, vacant land zoned for
industrial development, and major roadways.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not located within a Multi Species Habitation Conservation Strategy (MSHCP)
criteria cell and therefore is not required by the Regional Conservation Authority and State and
Federal agencies to take place in the Joint Project Review process. Therefore, the project site has
no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
( d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality.
The proposed project was required to prepare a Project-Specifi c Water Quality Managem ent Plan
(WQMP) that was reviewed and conceptually accepted for entitlement by City Staff as the WQMP
meets the requirements of the Ci ty of Temecula. A traffi c analysis was not required as part of this
project as the proposed use is allow ed w ithin the Light Industrial zo ning district, and there is
nothing unique about this project that would trigger the need for a traffi c analysis. Therefore, the
project is not anticipated to result in any signifi cant effects relating to traffi c, noise, air quality,
or water quality as the project is an allowed use per the Ci ty of Tem ecula General Plan and the
zo ning district.
( e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is surrounded by development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities
and public services.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA21-1470, a Development Plan for the construction of an
approximately 38,714 square foot industrial building located on the north side of Avenida
Alvarado, approximately 525 feet east of Via lndustria, and makes a finding of exemption under

120. ADA Parking. All disabled parking stalls on the premises shall be marked in accordance with
Section 22511.8 of the California Vehicle Code.
121. Employee Training. Employee training regarding retail/credit card theft, citizens' arrest
procedures, personal safety, business security, shoplifting or any other related crime
prevention training procedures is also available through the Crime Prevention Unit.
122. 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 aware 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 tw o-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
123. 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)
695-277 3.
124. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
695-2773.
