approving Planning Application No. PA14 -0054, hereby makes the following findings as
required by Section 17.04.010.E of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code:
The General Plan land use designation for the proposed conditional use location
is Industrial Park (IF). Educational institutions are allowed within this land use
designation upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The educational
therapy center and school will occupy a vacant suite within an existing office
building that was developed in accordance with all appropriate General Plan and
Development Code Guidelines. No changes to the site plan or exterior of the
structure are proposed.
B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of the adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed
conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures:
The project has been reviewed and conditioned by Building and Safety and Fire
to ensure it is compatible with the nature, condition and development of the
adjacent uses, buildings and structures and that the use will not adversely affect
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
C. The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in the 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 will be located within an existing structure and no external
modifications are proposed. The site for the proposed conditional use is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking
and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features
prescribed in the Development Code so that it may integrate with other uses in

safety and general welfare of the community:

and Safety and Fire to ensure it will be consistent with applicable sections of the
building and fire codes so that it will not be detrimental to the health, safety and

substantial evidence in view of_ the record as a whole before the Director of
Community Development.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director of Community Development
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 (CEQA), the
proposed project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further
environmental review (Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities). CEQA Section 15301
applies when a project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting,
leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities,
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion
of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination;
The proposed conditional use will allow an educational therapy center and school
to be located within an existing structure. No external changes to the structure
have been proposed as part of the project. No intensification or expansion of use
is proposed or permitted by the conditional use. As such, the conditional use is
consistent with CEQA Section 15301 in that the project consists of the operation
of a conditionally permitted use involving no expansion of use beyond that
existing at the time of the lead agency's determination for the existing building.

Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA14 -0054, a Minor Conditional Use
Permit application for Big Springs Educational Therapy Center and School to operate an
