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 (§ 19.3(b) (1).) Resos 90-27 Be Pursuant to Section 18.30(c), no plot plan may be approved unless the following findings can be made: (1) The proposed use must conform to all the General Plan requirements and with all applicable requirements and with applicable requirements of State law and City ordinances. all (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 the surrounding property. of Pursuant to Sections 19.3(a) (2) and 19.2(o), no billboards may be located within the boundary of any scenic highway so designated pursuant to the California Street & Highways Code. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly incorporated city shall adopt a general plan within thirty (30) months following incorporation. During that 30-month period of time, the city is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the general plan, if all of the following requirements are met: (1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general plan. (2) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and taking other actions, including the issuance of building permits, of the following: each (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 studies within a reasonable time. Co) There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed use or action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. Reaoa 90-27 The proposed use or action complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. 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 the future General Plan is likely to be substantially similar to the SWAP. 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 p~t 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. Go 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. Because the billboard is designed to be visible from the Interstate 15, it is inconsistent with the SWAP, and consequently, if the Plot Plan were approved, it would likely be 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 1168. Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. Resos 90-27 PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 13th day of March, 1990. Ronald J. Parks, Mayor ATTEST: F. D.
