Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Development Plan Planning Application No. PA12-0142:
A. An Initial Study was prepared for the project in an effort to further evaluate
if the project would generate any potentially significant impacts to the environment. This
document was circulated for public review on August 12, 2013. The results of the Initial
Study show environmental impacts for the project are all less than significant with the
mitigation proposed in the Mitigation Monitoring Program developed for the project.
B. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), City staff
prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the approval of the
Development Plan Application, as described in the Initial Study ("the Project"). Based
upon the findings contained in that study, City staff determined that there was no
substantial evidence that the Project could have a significant effect on the environment
and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
C. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period
and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration as required by law. The
public comment period commenced on August 12, 2013, and expired on August 31,
2013. Copies of the documents have been available for public review and inspection at
the offices of the Community Development Department, located at City Hall, 41000
Main Street, Temecula, California 92590.
D. One written comment was received prior to the public hearing and a
response to all the comments made therein was prepared, submitted to the Planning
Commission and incorporated into the administrative record of the proceedings.
E. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prior to and at the December 18, 2013 public hearing, and based on the whole record
before it finds that: (1) the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance
with CEQA; (2) there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant
effect on the environment; and (3) the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission.
F. Based on the findings set forth in the Resolution, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project.

General Requirements
PD-1. Applicant shall ensure any landscaping surrounding buildings is kept at a height of
no more than three feet or below the ground floor window sills.
PD-2. Applicant shall ensure any trees surrounding building rooftops be kept at a distance

PD-4. All parking lot lighting shall be energy saving and minimized after hours of darkness
and in compliance with Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations.
PD-5. All exterior lighting shall be in compliance with Riverside County Mount Palomar
Lighting Ordinance 655, low pressure sodium lighting preferred.
PD-6. All exterior doors shall have a vandal resistant light fixture installed above the door.
The doors shall be illuminated with a minimum one-foot candle illumination at
ground level, evenly dispersed.
PD-7. All lighting affixed to the exterior of buildings shall be vandal resistant, wall mounted
light fixtures.
PD-8. All doors, windows, locking mechanisms, hinges, and other miscellaneous hardware
shall be commercial or institution grade.
PD-9. Any graffiti painted or marked upon the buildings must be removed or painted over
within 24 hours of being discovered. Report all such crimes to the Temecula Police
24-hour dispatch Center at(951)696-HELP.
PD-10. Any roof hatches shall be painted "International Orange."
PD-11. Any public telephones located on the exterior of the buildings shall be placed in a
well-lit, highly visible area, and installed with a "call-out only" feature to deter
loitering. This feature is not required for public telephones installed within the
interior of the buildings.
PD-12. All disabled parking stalls on the premises shall be marked in accordance with
Section 22511.8 of the California Vehicle Code.
PD-13. Employee training regarding credit cards, theft, citizens' arrest procedures, personal
safety, business security or any other related crime prevention subject is available

(951) 506-5132.
PD-14. Crime prevention through environmental design as developed by the National Crime
Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept that "the proper design and
effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and
incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border
definition may include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a
building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means
of identifying controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify
when they are moving from public to semi-public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a
location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users
due to observation and possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of
natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the
users of the areas feel safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that
may conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area,
for example) by distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk
for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance
and intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal
users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention.
Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide such a perception of
surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and design
efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
PD-15. Any questions regarding these conditions should be directed to the Temecula Police
Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951) 506-5132.
