permit for the development and operation of a commercial center consisting of two structures that
will house a carwash and coffee shop. These applications (collectively "Project") were filed in a
manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time

D. The City contracted with De Novo Planning Group(De Novo) for the independent
preparation of an Initial Study to analyze the potential environmental effects of the Project. Based
on the information contained in the Initial Study, De Novo concluded, and City staff concurred,
that the Project could have a significant effect on the environment, but that mitigation measures
could be implemented to reduce such impacts to a less than significant level. Based upon this
determination, De Novo prepared, and City staff concurred in, a Draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration("Draft MND") in accordance with CEQA Section 21080(c)and Section 15070 of the
State CEQA Guidelines. The Draft MND was subsequently circulated, comments were received,
and responses to comments were prepared resulting in the preparation of the Final Mitigated
Negative Declaration("Final MND").
E. On April 16,2025,the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on
the Project and considered the Final MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, at
which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to, and did testify either in
support of or opposition to this matter.
F. Following consideration of the entire record of information received at the public
hearings and due consideration of the proposed Project, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution Nos. 2025-10, 2025-11, 2025-12, 2025-13, 2025-14, and 2025-15,recommending that

Program.
G. On May 13, 2025,the City Council of the City of Temecula considered the Project,
the Final MND,and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program at a duly noticed public hearing
at which time all interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in
opposition to this matter. The Council considered all the testimony and any comments received

at the public hearing.
H. Following consideration of the entire record before it at the public hearing and due
consideration of the Project the City Council adopted Resolution No.2025-28 "A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA ADOPTING THE FINAL
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND
REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE BEDFORD COURT PROJECT CONSISTING OF
APPROXIMATELY 1.88 ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF,
BEDFORD COURT APPROXIMATELY 160 FEET SOUTHWEST OF THE TEMECULA
PARKWAY AND BEDFORD COURT INTERSECTION (APN 922-210-042)".
I. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council in approving the Conditional Use
Permit hereby makes the following findings:
A. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code;
The conditional use will consist of a carwash. This use is permitted upon the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit per the proposed Zone Change/Planned Development Overlay and
underlying land use designation of Highway Tourist (HT). Car washes are allowed on
properties with the HT Land Use Designation upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The proposed use is consistent with the Development Code. Per the City of Temecula
Development Code, the proposed car wash will be screened from the public right-of-way.
In addition, the use will be supervised by several employees during operating hours. The
proposed operating hours are consistent with Development Code requirements.
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;
2
The proposed project will be surrounded by Highway Tourist and High Density residential
uses. The car wash will be separated from the nearby residential use by seventy-five feet
per the proposed PDO. In addition, drying blowers will have mufflers to control noise.
Therefore, the car wash 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.
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 City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The site has been reviewed and determined to be adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in the Development Code and
proposed Zone Change/Planned Development Overlay and required by the Planning
Commission and City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the
neighborhood. The project meets or exceeds all requirements of the proposed PDO
requirements. For example, the proposed PDO requires that a project site provide 25%
landscape coverage and the project proposes to offer 37% of landscape coverage. In
addition, the proposed PDO requires 26 parking spaces while the actual project will
provide 35 parking spaces.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community.
The conditional use has been reviewed in order to ensure compliance with all requirements
of the Development, Building, and Fire Codes. These codes contain provisions designed to
ensure the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. No negative impacts are
anticipated.
E. That the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for a
conditional use permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before
the Planning Director, Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the applications will be based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the City Council.
Section 3. Conditions of Approval. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby
approves Planning Application No. PA23-0198, a Conditional Use Permit to allow a car wash at
the southwest end of Bedford Court, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit

and it shall become effective upon its adoption.
