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 or actions is ultimately inconsistent with the

Plan, (hereinafter "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 adopted SWAP as its General Plan guidelines while the City
is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its General Plan.
C. The proposed Plot Plan is consistent with the SWAP and meets the requirements set
forth in Section 65360 of the Government Code, to wit:
1) The City is proceeding in a timely fashion with a preparation of the general
2) The City Council finds, in approving projects and taking other actions,

a) There is masonable probability that Plot Plan No. 34 proposed will be
consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which will be studied

(2) The City Council, in approving the proposed Plot Plan, makes the
Resos 91-07 2
following findings, to wit:
a) There is a reasonable probability that Plot Plan No. 34 will be consistent
with the City's future General Plan, which will be completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with State law, due to the fact that the proposed building height is consistent with the
zoning ordinance; and Change of Zone Nos. 6 and 7 are recommended for approval.
b) There is not a likely probability of substantial detriment to or
interference with the future General Plan, if the proposed use is ultimately inconsistent with the
plan, due to the fact that and approval os such a building height within the I-P (Industrial Park)
zone may be consistent with the goals and/or policies of the City's Future General Plan.
c) The proposed use or action complies with State planning a zoning laws,
due to the fact that the proposed project may be consistent with the City's future General Plan.
d) The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of
the size and shape of the lot configuration, circulation patterns, access and intensity of use, since
the proposed building height of ninety-one (91') feet does not comply with Section 10.4(b) of the
zoning ordinance, as amended.
e) The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the
public health or welfare, due to the fact that the proposed project may be consistent with the City's
future General Plan.
f) The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The harmony in
scale, bulk and height creates an incompatible physical relationship with adjoining properties, due
to the fact that the adjoining developments do not exceed two stories in height; and the subject
property is located on a major topographic feature, within the City of Temecula, which is a very
prominent hillside and is a visual feature from 1-15, which is a scenic corridor through the City.
However, the project is consistent with the zoning ordinance.
g) The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property
because it does not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area,
due to the fact that the proposed height is consistent with the zoning ordinance.
h) The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is
open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic.
I) The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the built
or natural environment as determined in the expanded initial study performed for this project, due
to the fact that the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
j) The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they
are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed
project.
k) That said findings are supported by minutes, maps, exhibits and
environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference.
Resos 91-07 3
E. As conditioned pursuant to SECTION 3, Plot Plan proposed conforms to the
logical development of its proposed site, and is compatible with the present and future
development of the surrounding property.
SECTION 2. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this project
indicates that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the
Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore,
is hereby granted.
