BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On July 13, 2010, David Ashcroft submitted Planning Application PA10 -0210. The project will
proposes a zone change for a parcel containing an existing structure. The zoning map and
General Plan Land Use Map designations for the site do not currently agree, but the proposed
zone change will provide for consistency between the zoning map and the General Plan Land
Use Map, and the existing commercial building located on the project site.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The project is designed to allow the zoning designation of a fully developed parcel to be
converted from High Density Residential (H) to Community Commercial (CC). This proposed
zone change will allow consistency between the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning
Map. The parcel is located immediately adjacent to developed parcels zoned Community
Commercial to the south and west. Developed parcels zoned High Density Residential (H) and
Public Institution (PI) are located immediately to the north and east respectively.
The subject parcel contains an existing one -story commercial structure totaling 6,206 square
feet that was previously used as a KinderCare facility. The applicant intends to use this
structure for medical /dental uses and proposes no external modifications. However, minor
modifications to the site plan, including the addition of rear parking and a drive isle, have been
proposed. These improvements are being processed through a separate permit.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on November 6, 2010 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 1500 -foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff has reviewed the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Based on an Initial Study, it has been determined the project will not have a significant
impact on the environment; therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project.
The project is designed to allow a fully developed parcel to receive a change in zoning
designation from High Density Residential (H) to Community Commercial (CC). This zone
change will allow the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map to be consistent with
regard to this parcel. A Negative Declaration prepared for the project found that no significant
impacts would occur as a result of the proposed zone change. The public comment period for
the Negative Declaration was October 5 through October 25. No comments were received
during this period.
FINDINGS
The Zoning Amendment is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of
the elements of the General Plan.
The General Plan Land Use designation for the parcel is Community Commercial (CC). The
proposed Zoning Amendment will allow the subject parcel to be reclassified from High Density
Residential (H) to Community Commercial (CC). This revised designation is consistent with the
2
General Plan. The Zoning Amendment will allow the parcel to be in conformance with the
goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the General Plan.
The zone change is to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the
General Plan and all applicable provisions contained therein.
The Zoning Amendment will allow the Zoning Map to become consistent with the General Plan
Land Use Map. The parcel contains an existing commercially developed structure that will
continue to be utilized for commercial purposes as allowed in the Community Commercial (CC)
zone. Therefore, the proposed Zoning Amendment and its revised allowable uses are
consistent with the General Plan and all applicable provisions contained therein.
The proposed Zoning Amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience or welfare of the City.
The Zoning Amendment will regulate 0.8 acres with a Community Commercial (CC) zoning
designation. Any development or use of the site will be required to adhere to all provisions for
Community Commercial zoned properties discussed in Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal
Code. These provisions are intended to protect the health and safety of those working in and
around the site. The project is consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and
regulations intended to ensure the property will function in a manner consistent with the public
health, safety, and welfare.
The subject property of the Zoning Amendment is physically suitable for the requested land use
designation and anticipated land use developments.
The proposed zone change has been analyzed as physically suitable for the requested and
anticipated land uses allowed under the Community Commercial zoning designation.
The proposed Zoning Amendment shall ensure the development of the desirable character
which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding
neighborhood.
The proposed zone change will convert 0.8 acres of land from High Density Residential (H) to
Community Commercial (CC). The surrounding neighborhood contains parcels zoned
Community Commercial to the south and west. In addition, the parcel contains a fully developed
commercial structure. The zone change will uphold the neighborhood's existing character.

Description of Project
A Zoning Amendment Application to change the zoning of a parcel
located at 42210 Lyndie Lane from High Density Residential (H) to
Community Commercial (CC). The current General Plan designation
is Community Commercial (CC) and the site is currently fully
developed with a commercial building. Therefore the proposed .
zoning will allow for consistency between the site's zoning, General
Plan designation, and existing development on the project site.
Surrounding Land Uses and Setting
•
The project is located on a developed 0.8 acre lot in a High Density
Residential (H) district within the City of Temecula. The project area
features a 6,206 square foot structure that once served as a daycare
facility. The parcel abutting the site to the north is zoned Public
Institutional. The parcels to the east and south are zoned Community
Commercial, and the parcel to the west is zoned High Density
Residential. Lyndie Lane is located immediately to the west and a
Community Commercial zoning district is located just beyond. All
surrounding parcels are fully developed.

Comments:
1.a.b.c.d. No Impact: The project proposes to change the existing zoning from High Density Residential (H)
to Community Commercial (CC). A building, previously used as a daycare center, currently exists on the
project site and no increase in square footage is proposed. Thus the project will have no impact on a scenic
vistas or resources, visual character, or create a new source of substantial light glare as the building already
exists. The zone change will allow the existing structure on site to be utilized as a commercial property,
consistent with other commercial properties in the immediate area.

2. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES. to determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California
Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and
farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information .compiled by the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest
land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment
Project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted
by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project:

Comments:
2.a.e. No Impact: The proposed project will not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of
.Statewide Importance, to a non - agricultural use. According to the City of Temecula General Plan, the project
site does not contain any Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Therefore
the project will not have any impacts to these types of farmland. Additionally, the project site does not contain
existing farmland, or forestland, nor was the site intended to be used for agricultural or foresting purposes. The
site is currently developed as a commercial property:
2.b. No Impact: The project site is currently zoned High Density Residential (H). This zoning designation
allows for agricultural uses provided they are consistent with all Development Code requirements: However,
agricultural uses are not planned for this property. In addition, the site is not regulated by a Williamson Act
contract per the General Plan.
2.c.d. No Impact: The project location is not suitable for forest and /or timberland .. uses as defined by the
Public Resources and Govemment Codes. Forest land is defined as land that can support 10 percent native
tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of
one or more forest resources • including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality,
-.. G: \PIANNING\ 2010\ PA10 -0210 Lyndie Lane Zone Change\ Planning \Environmental\Initial- Study \CEQA Initial Study.doc
recreation and other public benefits. The proposed project site is zoned High Density Residential (H) and not
as a Timberland Production Zone as defined by Section 51104(g) of the Government Code. As such, the
parcel and surrounding area are intended to be developed with residential and commercial uses and are
therefore not available to grow trees commercially as required by the timberland definition contained in Section
4526 of the Public Resources Code. In addition, forest land does not exist on the parcel or in the immediate
area. No impact is expected.

Comments:
3.a. No Impact: The proposed zone change is. located within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The
South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Southern California Association of Govemments (SCAG)
are the responsible agencies for preparing the Air Quality Management Plan for the SCAB. The proposed
project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan
(AQMP). The proposed project is subject to the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and SCAQMD. A project is deemed inconsistent with air
quality plans if it results in population and/or employment growth that exceed growth estimates in the .
applicable air quality plan The proposed project consists of a zone change and already has a developed
structure on site and no expansion of the building is proposed. Therefore, the project does not include any
residential development, housing, or large local or regional employment centers and will not result in significant
population or employment growth. Thus, the proposed project would result in no impact with respect to the
implementation of the SCAQMD's AQMP.
G : \PLANNING\2010 \PA10 -0210 Lyndie Lane Zone Change \Planning\Environmental\Initial Study \CEOA Initial - Study.doc - -- - --
3.b. No Impact: The proposed project is for a zone change from High .Density Residential (H) to
Community Commercial (CC). The General Plan designation for the parcel is already Community Commercial
(CC). The zone change will allow the zoning map to match the General Plan Land Use Map. As a result,
Community Commercial uses for the parcel have already been evaluated and . mitigated as part of the General
Plan EIR. In addition, the site is already fully developed and able to support commercial office uses. Air
quality standards will not be violated as part of the project. No impact is anticipated.
3:c. . No Impact:._ Guidelines Section 15064 (h)(3) stipulates that for an impact involving a resource
that is addressed by an approved plan or mitigation program, the lead agency may determine that a project's
incremental contribution is not cumulatively considerable if the project complies with the adopted plan or
program... In addressing cumulative effects for air quality, the SCAQMD. Air Quality Management Plan, is the
most appropriate: document to use because it set forth comprehensive programs that will lead the South Coast
Air- Basin; - including the project area, into compliance with all federal and state air quality .standards. .It also
utilizes control measures and related emission reduction estimates based upon emissions projections for a
future development scenario derived from land use, population, and employment characteristics defined in
consultation with local governments. Because the proposed project is fora zone change of a developed parcel
and is in conformance with the AQMP and the project is not significant on an individual basis, it is appropriate
to conclude that the project's incremental contribution to criteria pollutant emissions is not cumulatively
considerable. Therefore the project's incremental contribution to criteria pollutant emissions is not anticipated
to result in a cumulatively considerable increase. No impact is anticipated.
3.d.e. No Impact: Sensitive receptors are land uses such as residences, schools, daycare centers, medical
and recreational facilities that are more susceptible to the effects of air pollution than are the general
population. The nearest sensitive receptors are the site itself and the adjacent residential properties. These
adjacent uses are located approximately 20 feet from the proposed project site. However, the proposed
project is for a zone change of a developed site designated Community Commercial by the General Plan. The
General Plan EIR already considered impacts to sensitive uses within Community Commercial designated
areas. The zone change will not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations or
objectionable odors.

Comments:
4.a.b. No Impact: The proposed project consists of a zone change from High Density Residential (H) to
Community Commercial (CC) for a fully developed site This zone change will allow the Zoning and General
Plan Land Use Maps to become consistent. Since the site is already fully developed, species identified as a
candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service will not be affected by the
project. In addition, the proposed zone change will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian
habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service. The site is fully developed and
therefore no impact is anticipated.
4.c. No Impact: The project site does not contain federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
--
the Clean Water Act. This is due to the fact that the site is already fully developed. No impact will occur.
4d. No Impact The site and surrounding parcels are fully developed with commercial and residential
uses. Based upon these existing conditions, the proposed project is not expected to have a significant adverse
impact on the wildlife movements in the surrounding area within established native resident or migratory
wildlife corridors, or impede the use -of- native wildlife nursery sites. Further, the project site is not located
G: \PLANNING\2010 \PA10 -0210 Lyndie Lane Zone , Change \Planning\EnvironmentaNnitial Study\CEQA Initial Study:doc
within a Criteria Cell of the MSHCP Plan Area. Therefore, no HANS review is required. In addition, the fully
developed nature of the parcel means that the area is unsuitable as Burrowing Owl habitat. No impact is
anticipated.
4.e.f. No Impact: The project will not conflict with any local ordinances or policies as they relate to the
protection of biological resources. The City of Temecula has recently adopted a Heritage Tree Ordinance
designed to protect certain species of trees within the City. However, no trees designated in the ordinance are
located on the subject property.
The proposed zone change will not conflict with the provisions of the Multi- Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP). The MSHCP is a comprehensive, multi - jurisdictional plan which focuses on the conservation of 146
species and their associated habitats in Western Riverside County. The Plan's overall goal is to maintain a
biological and ecological diversity within the rapidly urbanizing area. The Plan Area encompasses
approximately 1.26 million acres and includes the City of Temecula within its boundaries. In considering the
zone change for this site in the context of the MSHCP, the project site has been fully constructed and it has
been determined that the project site is not located within MSHCP Criteria Cells (Southwest Area Plan —
Subunit 1 Murrieta Creek). Since the project does not lie within a designated Criteria Cell, it is not required to
undergo a Habitat Acquisition Negotiation Strategy (HANS) and Joint Project Review application. No impact
will occur.

5.a. -d. No Impact: "Historic Resources" as defined by CEQA Section 15064.5 are prehistoric and historic
resources that are assessed as being "significant ", insofar as their evidentiary contents can be demonstrated
relevant to the established local, regional or national research domains, issues and questions. The site and
the surrounding area are fully developed. The City of Temecula General Plan EIR indicates that the project
area has a high potential for sensitive paleontological resources. However, these and other cultural resource
impacts were evaluated during the entitlement phase for the existing building. Furthermore, the City of
Temecula General Plan EIR does not indicate that the project is located within a sensitive archaeological area.
The proposed zone change will have no impact to archaeological or paleontological resources for the fully
developed site.

Comments:
7.a.b. Less Than Significant Impact: At this time there are no adopted statewide guidelines for greenhouse
gas emission (GHG) impacts, but this is being addressed through the provisions of Senate Bill 97 (SB 97). For
the proposed project, the project would be considered to have a significant impact if the project would be in
conflict with the AB 32 State goals for reducing GHG emissions and have. Staff assumes that AB 32 will be
successful in reducing GHG emissions and reducing the cumulative GHG emissions statewide by 2020. It is
not anticipated that the project could have a major impact (either positively or negatively) on the global
concentration of GHG.
GHG impacts are considered to be exclusively cumulative impacts; there are no non - cumulative greenhouse
gas emission impacts from a climate change perspective (CAPCOA, 2008). The proposed project will convert
an area zoned High Density Residential (H) to Community Commercial (CC). The intention of the applicant is
to utilize the existing structure as medical offices. This would contribute to global climate change as a result of
emissions of GHGs, primarily CO emitted by increased trip generation as patrons visit the medical offices
rather than the lower trip generation created by residential uses. However, the project presents an additional
option for citizens to receive medical care. This will result in lower trip generations at other existing medical
facilities throughout the city. In addition, the City of Temecula does not have any plans, policies, or regulations
adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. The project is expected to have a less than
significant impact:

8.a. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project will change the zoning from High Density
Residential (H) to Community Commercial (CC). The newzoning will allow medical offices to be located within
the existing structure. This use could potentially create a hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transportation, use or disposal of hazardous and biological materials. However, any medical office use
will be required to abide by all regulations of the Riverside County Community Health Agency, Department of
Environmental Health. A less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
- 8.b.c. No Impact The proposed project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
through- reasonably - upset - and - accident conditions involving the release of hazardous, materials into the
environment. The proposed project is a zone change and it will not emit hazardous: materials into the
environment, or impact the public through day -to -day operations. In addition, the project will not require the
handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances and :waste. Additionally, the proposed
project is not located within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school.
8.d. No Impact: The proposed project will not be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous
materials sites pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, will not create a significant
hazard to the public or the environment. The California Environmental Protection Agency lists Hazardous
Waste and Substances Sites. The project site is not on this list, therefore no impact related to hazardous
materials posing a significant hazard to the public or environment will occur.
8.e.f. No Impact: The project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public
or private airstrip according to figure LU -2 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. No impact upon
airport uses will result from the project.
8.g. No Impact: The proposed project will not impair the implementation of, or physically interfere with, an
adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The proposed project site is located within
an area that is surrounded by residential and commercial development. In addition, the subject parcel is fully
developed. The parcel will not physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan.
8.h. No Impact: According to the City of Temecula Geographic Information Systems Department, the
project site is not located within a High Fire Hazard area. Therefore, the project will not expose people or
structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are
adjacent to urbanized areas or where residents intermixed with wildlands. The closest High Fire Hazard areas
are located approximately 1.65 miles to the west of the project area. Since the project is not located within a
High Fire Hazard area and is not located in the immediate proximity of a High Fire Hazard area, injury, death
and loss of life resulting from a wildfire is not likely to occur. Additionally, the City of Temecula Fire Prevention
Bureau has reviewed the proposed project to ensure that it meets all fire code requirements. The existing
structure will be provided with fire protection, if needed; in the case that fire does occur.

Comments:
9.a. Less Than Significant Impact: The project proposes a zone change from High Density. Residential
(H) to Community Commercial (CC) on a fully developed parcel containing a 6,206 square foot structure. The
structure was previously utilized as a daycare facility and the applicant plans to convert the structure to make it
suitable for medical office use. This change of use is not significant from a water quality perspective: No water
quality standards are forecast to be violated by implementing the proposed project and a less than significant
impact is anticipated.
9.b. No Impact: The proposed project area is fully developed and is not anticipated to result in a
substantial depletion of groundwater supplies or substantial interference with groundwater recharge such that
there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table. The proposed
project is not anticipated to have an effect on the quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct

additions or withdrawals through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability. No impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
9.c.d. No Impact: The site is already fully developed with a 6,206 square foot structure and no modifications
to the structure are proposed as part of the project. Therefore, the project will not alter an existing drainage
pattern or create flooding on or off the project site. In addition, there is no stream or river course Located on the
property. No Impact is anticipated.
9.e. No Impact: The site is already fully developed with a 6,206 square foot structure. All water runoff and
associated pollution were evaluated during the structure's entitlement process. No further impact is
anticipated.
9.f. No Impact: The proposed project is for the zone change of a fully developed parcel from High Density
Residential (H) to Community Commercial. The zone change application does not require the preparation of a
project- specific WQMP. No impact is anticipated.
9.g.h. No Impact: The project will not place housing or other structures within a 100 -year flood hazard area as
mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or any other flood hazard
delineation map. No impact is anticipated.
9.i. No Impact: The proposed project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss,
injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam. The subject
property is not located within a dam inundation area per the City's General Plan. In addition, the City has
implemented a multi- hazard functional plan pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act. The proposed
project does not contain critical or essential facilities. No impact is•anticipated.
9.j. No Impact: Due to the project area's distance from the ocean and elevation, there is no potential for a
tsunami. The project area is not located near a large surface water body and there is no potential for
inundation by seiche or mudflow. No impacts are anticipated.

10.a. No Impact: The proposed project will not physically divide an established community. The proposed
project is a zone change for a 0.8 acre parcel that is fully developed. The project site is surrounded by
residential parcels to the north, commercial to the south and west and a religious facility to the east. The
project does not involve any additional street or highway improvements which could otherwise divide an
established community.
10.b. No Impact: The proposed project will not conflict with an applicable land use plan, or regulation of an
agency with jurisdiction over the project, (including, but not limited to the General Plan, Specific Plan or zoning
ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The General Plan land
use designation for the project site is Community Commercial (CC). The zoning for the property is High Density
Residential (H). The purpose of the project is to revise the Zoning Map designation for the parcel to be in
conformance with the General Plan Land Use Map. The project will eliminate the current conflict between
these two planning documents.
10.c. No Impact: The proposed development of the project will not conflict with the provisions of the Multi -
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The MSHCP is a comprehensive, multi jurisdictional plan which
focuses on the conservation of 146 species and their associated habitats in Western Riverside County. The
Plan's overall goal is to maintain biological and ecological diversity within the rapidly urbanizing area. The Plan
Area encompasses approximately 1.26 million acres and includes the City of Temecula within its boundaries.
It has been determined that the project site is not located within an MSHCP Criteria Cell, however according to
the MSHCP, the site does have a potential for Borrowing Owl habitat. It must be noted that the site is fully
developed and thus does not provide actual habitat for the animal. No impact is anticipated.

11.a. No Impact: The project is not anticipated to result in the loss of a known mineral resource that would
be of value to the region or to the residences of the State because the parcel is already fully developed.
According to the General Plan, the State Division of Mines and Geology has prepared a mineral resources
report entitled Mineral Land Classification of the Temescal Valley Area, Riverside County, California, Special
Report 165, which evaluated mineral deposits within the Temecula Planning Area. According to the State
Geologist, the Temecula Planning Area was classified as a Mineral Resources Zone -3a (MRZ -3a), which
determined that the area contains sedimentary deposits which have the potential to supply sand and gravel for
concrete and crushed stone for aggregate, however these areas are not considered to contain mineral
resources of significant economic value.
11.b. No Impact: The project is not anticipated to result in the loss of locally important mineral resources, as
the project site, which is within the above mentioned Temecula Planning area, has been classified as a Mineral
Resources Zone -3a (MRZ -3a). According to the General Plan, the Temecula Planning Area is not considered
to contain mineral resources of significant economic value. The property on which the proposed project will be
located does not represent an area of locally important mineral resources. In addition, the parcel is already fully
developed.

Comments:
13.a. Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project will not induce substantial population growth in
the area. The proposed project is for a zone change that will convert a parcel from High Density Residential
(H) to Community Commercial (CC). This zone change may create new jobs since a greater variety of
commercial businesses could begin to utilize the property. In the event jobs are created, the minimal increase
in population that may result is considered to be less than significant when compared to the projected
population growth that is anticipated for the Temecula Area.
13.b.c. No Impact: Considering the parcel is fully developed with a commercial structure and the zoning for
the site will be changed to Community Commercial, it can be concluded that the project will not displace
existing housing or necessitate the construction or replacement of housing elsewhere.
