Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Director, in approving Planning
Application No. PA09 -0227, hereby makes the following findings as required by Section
17.04.010.E, Conditional Use Permit, of the Temecula Municipal Code:
Development Code Section 17.04.010.E
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula
and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code. The project site is zoned Light Industrial and the General
Plan Designation for the site is Industrial Park, which allows for truck rentals
provided a Conditional Use Permit is approved and the parking is consistent with
the required demand. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as
conditioned, is physically suitable for the use type. The use, as conditioned, is
also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local
ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and fire
and building codes.
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 adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed
conditional use will not adversely affect the area because the project site is
currently developed with all improvements including parking to accommodate a
truck rental facility. Furthermore, the scope of the proposed use is minor in
nature and is not anticipated to generate traffic conflicts during the stated hours
of operation.
C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking 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 conditional use is consistent with the Development Code and the project
meets all of the applicable requirements. The site is adequate in size and shape
to accommodate the proposed use without affecting the yard, parking and
loading, landscaping, and other development features required by the
Development Code in order to integrate the use with other uses on the site and in
the area.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of community;
The proposed conditional use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed for, and as
conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies,
guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the use will
function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Director hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of
the 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
(Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities).
1. The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. The
proposed use is within an existing multi- tenant building. The site contains
sufficient parking spaces and improvements for the proposed use. No
expansion of the building is proposed for the operation of the proposed
truck rental facility. Therefore, the approval of the proposed conditional
use permit will not result in a significant expansion beyond that which
exists currently.

approves Planning Application No. PA09 -0227, a Conditional Use Permit to operate a
Penske truck rental facility at 27565 Diaz Road, subject to the Conditions of Approval
