AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA AMENDING ZONING STANDARDS
APPLICABLE TO EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND
SCHOOLS AND AMENDING THE TEMECULA
MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code
were processed and an environmental review was conducted as required by the
California Environmental Quality Act.
B. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed
public hearing on September 17, 2008, to consider the proposed amendments at which
time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to, and did testify either in
support or opposition to the matter.
' C. Following consideration of the entire record of information received at the
public hearing and due consideration of the proposed amendments, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 08-41 recommending that the City Council
approve the proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code.
D. On November 18, 2008, the City Council of the City of Temecula held a
duly noticed public hearing on the proposed amendments at which time all persons
interested in the proposed amendments had the opportunity and did address the City
Council on these matters, and following receipt of all public testimony closed the
hearing.
Section 2. Further Findings. The City Council, in approving the proposed
Municipal Code amendments in Long Range Planning Project Number LR08-0039,
hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040
("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code
are allowed in the land use designations in which the uses are located, as shown on the
land use map, or are described in the text of the General Plan.
B. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code
' are in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of
the General Plan.
RJOrds 20081Ords 08-11 1
C. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code
are consistent with the General Plan and all applicable provisions contained therein.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The City Council hereby finds that this
Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section
15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code may have a
significant effect on the environment. Staff concluded that there is no possibility that the
Code amendments may have a significant effect on the environment because the
proposed Development Code Amendments are minor policy changes and clarifications
to Title 17 of the City of Temecula Municipal Code. Staff has determined that the land
use impact for a school does not change based on whether the school is public or
private. Since private schools are permitted in certain Zoning Districts where public
schools are not permitted and since public schools are permitted in certain Zoning
Districts where private schools are not permitted, an Amendment is proposed to
establish "Educational Institution" as the term for purposes of maintaining consistency
between public and private schools in all zoning districts. Staff has further determined
that all Educational Institutions, including kindergarten through grade twelve schools,
and colleges and universities, shall be required to process a Conditional Use Permit
which will require a site-specific review and CEQA analysis. The proposed Amendment
will strengthen the City's ability to conduct a CEQA review for future Educational
' Institutions since certain Zoning Districts did not previously require a Conditional Use
Permit analysis for Educational Institutions whereas the proposed amendment will
require that no Educational Institution shall be permitted without analysis of a
Conditional Use Permit, which requires a site-specific CEQA review for every
application including colleges and universities where the City is the lead agency. These
proposed amendments are minor clarifications of the Code and will ensure compliance
with CEQA. As such, there is no possibility that the proposed amendments to Title 17
of the Temecula Municipal Code will have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 4. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby amends
subsection 17.34.010.E by replacing the term "Educational institution" to read as
follows:
""Educational institution" means a private or public kindergarten through grade
twelve school, or college or university, to give general academic instruction."
Section 5. The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby amends
subsection 17.34.010.S by adding the term "Trade or vocational school" to be inserted
alphabetically to read as follows:
"Schools, trade or vocational" means a commercial establishment limited to
offering specialized instruction in technical, commercial or trade skills, including but not
' limited to cosmetology school, mechanical school, driving school, real estate or other
specialized instruction. This definition does not include a community college or
university."
