Section 1. That the Temecula City Council hereby makes the following findings:
A. All outdoor advertising displays ("billboards") must satisfy Section 19.3 of the
provisions of County Ordinance No. 348, including the requirement that plot plan approval be
obtained pursuant to Section 18.30 (P 19.3(b)(1)).
B. Pursuant to Section 18.30 (c), no plot plan may be approved unless the following
findings can be made:
Resos 90-24
(1) The proposed use must conform to all the General Plan requirement and with all
applicable requirements of State law and City ordinances.
(2)
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land
and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the
surrounding property.
(a) There is a reasonable probability that the land use or action proposed will be
consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which
will be studied within a reasonable time.
(b) There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference
with the future adopted general plan if the proposed use of action is ultimately
inconsistent with the plan.
(c) The proposed use or action complies with all other applicable requirements
of state law and local ordinances.
E. The Southwest Area Plan (SWAP") was adopted prior to the incorporation of
Temecula as the General Plan for the southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area
now within the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has not adopted SWAP as its
General Plan. However, the City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its
General Plan. Moreover, until the City adopts its General Plan it requires all development to
be consistent with the SWAP, because substantially similar to the SWAP.
F. The Plot Plan site proposed for the billboard does not conform to the logical
development of its proposed site, and is not compatible with the present and future development
of the surrounding property. The proposed site is located in the heart of the business district
of the City and near the entrance to "Old Town" Temecula. The appearance of a billboard at
this location would impair the logical commercial development of the surrounding property.
G. The site proposed for the billboard is adjacent to a vacant lot. The proposed location
of the billboard, if approved, would impair the viability of the future commercial development
of said vacant property. Generally, permitting the location of billboards in advance of the
development of adjacent commercial properties would impede the orderly development of such
adjacent properties.
H. Interstate 15 is designated a scenic highway in the SWAP. The SWAP further
provides that outstanding scenic vistas and visual features, such as the ridgeline west of Interstate
15, shall be preserved and protected. The large size of the billboard is designed to be visible
from the Interstate 15 and across the adjacent vacant lot. Because the billboard is designed to
be visible from the Interstate 15, it is inconsistent with the City's future general plan.
Section 2. Because the required findings for discretionary approvals found in Section
18.30 of County Ordinance 348 and Government Code Section 65361 cannot be made for the
reasons cited hereinabove, the City of Temecula City Council denies Plot Plan 1170.
Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 27th day of February, 1990.
