SPACE (SUITE D) WITHIN AN EXISTING 18,400 SQUARE
FOOT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 41636
ENTERPRISE CIRCLE NORTH (APN 909-282-010).
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Director of Planning of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On February 25, 2008 Mr. Kassen Klein representing Alex Medrano ,filed
Planning Application No. PA08-0051 Minor Conditional Use Permit 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 Deputy Director of Planning, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on July 24, 2008, 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 Deputy Director of Planning approved Planning Application No.
PA08-0051 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in
Planning Application No. PA08-0051 conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan
and Development Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Director of Planning, in approving Planning
Application No. PA08-0051 hereby makes the following findings as required by
Development Code Section 17.04.010 -Conditional Use Permits.
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. According to the General Plan, the Industrial Park (IP) land
use designation anticipated uses such as warehouses, light industrial and light
manufacturing uses and professional offices. Originally, the building in which
Lighthouse Community Church is proposed to be located was constructed to
house uses consistent with the Industrial Pak land use designation. However,
since the Deve/opment Code implements the City of Temecula's General Plan
and church's are conditionally permitted in the Business Park zone, which is
G:IPLANNING\2008\PA08-0057 Lighthouse Community Church CUP\Planning\DH resolution no.doc
consistent with the Industrial Park land use designation, the proposed project, as
conditioned is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project meets all
applicable Development Code requirements, including parking, and as
conditioned is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on surrounding uses.
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 the nature, condition and
development of the adjacent uses, building and structures and the proposed
conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or
structures. The adjacent uses located within the same building as the proposed
conditional use are uses that are consistent with the Business Park zoning
designation. The uses consist of a combination of distribution, office and
warehouse type uses and operate Monday -Friday during normal business
hours. The proposed conditional use (Lighthouse Community Church) will not
adversely impact the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. The church will
operate on Wednesday evenings and on Sunday mornings. The church's
operation is not anticipated to effect the other uses on-site as the hours of
operation for the church are off-peak from the hours of the other uses in the
buildings. It has been determined that the project, as conditioned, is compatible
with the existing uses and will not adversely impact them.
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 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 the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer
areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in the
Development Code in order to integrate the use with the other uses in the
neighborhood. The building in which the proposed conditional use is to be
located was constructed to ensure adequate space for the construction of all
necessary walls, fences, yards, buffer areas and landscape areas. The
conditional use does not propose to change or modify any of the above
mentioned features. An analysis of the parking area has determined that there is
adequate parking provided on the site to support both the office, warehouse and
distribution type uses during the daytime hours, and accommodate the proposed
church during evening and weekend hours. As conditioned, the conditional use
will adequately integrate into the existing neighborhood and is not anticipated to
be an incompatible use.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the community;
G:WLANNING12008\PA08-0051 lighthouse Community Church CUP\Planning\DH resolution no.doc
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community. The proposed conditional use is a church
(Lighthouse Community Church) which is proposed to be located within an
existing light industrial suite. It has been determined that the proposed
conditional use, as conditioned, will not adversely impact the adjacent buildings,
uses or structures and that the use is compatible with the sun-ounding area. The
health, safety and general welfare of the community is not anticipated to be
adversely impacted by the conditional use, as the project meets all applicable
Development Code requirements, which is intended to help preserve the health,
safety and general welfare of the community.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director of Planning hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Minor 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
(CEQA Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities).
The proposed project has been determined to be categorically exempt from further
environmental review and qualifies for a Class 1 exemption. According to the CEQA
Guidelines, the primary consideration in determining whether or not a project qualifies
for a Class 1 exemption is to consider if the project involves negligible or no expansion
of the use. The existing building was originally anticipated to house industrial, office or
warehouse type uses, or other uses as conditionally permitted. The proposed
conditional use will be located within an existing industrial suite and the project scope
does not involve any physical expansion of the existing building. The land use
(proposed church) has been analyzed and it has been determined that since the use will
be located within an existing building and no physical expansion is involved in the scope
of the project that further environmental review is not necessary. The project is
consistent with a Class 1 exemption and meets all applicable Development Code
requirements and is therefore anticipated to have a less than significant impact on the
environment.
Section 4. Conditions. The Director of Planning of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA08-0051, A Minor Conditional Use Permit to
authorize the operation of Faro de Luz Nueva Esperanza (Lighthouse Community
Church) in a 3,564 square foot space (Suite D) within an existing 18,400 square foot
industrial building located at 41636 Enterprise Circle North, subject to the Conditions of
Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
