design and site plan design. 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 development
will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health,
safety and welfare.
Conditional Use Permit (Development Code Section 17.04.010.E)
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code;
As proposed, the Chevron gas station, retail shops, automated car wash, and
propane tank and filling station, will operate as an establishment with the
primary purpose of offering gasoline sales, general retail sales, and automotive
washing. The proposed use is consistent with the City of Temecula General
Plan which specifies that the Community Commercial (CC) designation includes
automotive service stations with or without an automated car washes and retail
oriented business activities serving the entire community.
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 Chevron gas station, retail shops, automated car wash, and propane tank
and filling station, are proposed in an existing center within the Community

Minor Exception (Code Section 17.03.060D)
A. There are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict
application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property;
The proposal is for the expansion of an existing Chevron gas station facility that
will allow for the construction of a 1,936 square foot retail building and a 1,042
square foot automated car wash. The existing construction site and plan limits
the viability of the uses due to the physical constraints of the original site design
entitled in the County. This creates practical difficulties and unnecessary
hardships due to the strict application of the Community Commercial
Development Standards with respect to landscape coverage. A reduction of
landscape coverage to 17 percent is within the allowable 15 percent reduction of
the Development Code and meets the intent of City's Development Standards
with respect to landscape coverage.
B. The Minor Exception does not grant special privileges which are not
otherwise available to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or to the property of other persons located in the vicinity;
Permitting this Minor Exception will not grant special privileges to the applicant
and is intended to meet the intent of the City's Development Standards. The
result of permitting this Minor Exception will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or to the property of other persons as the reduction in landscape
coverage meets the intent of Development Standards with respect to the site.
The project has been reviewed and, as conditioned, has been found to be
consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations
intended to ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a
manner consistent with the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
C. The Minor Exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect
surrounding properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the
zone;
The project has been conditioned to provide additional landscaping which will
enhance the site. All of the uses proposed are permitted or conditionally
permitted and the proposed landscape coverage is consistent with the provisions
of the Temecula Municipal Code.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Development Plan with Minor Exception, and a Conditional Use Permit:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(Section 15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects);
1. The request for a Development Plan with a Minor Exception, and a
Conditional Use Permit for construction of a 1,936 square foot commercial
retail building, a 1,042 square foot automated car wash in a community
commercial zone, and a propane tank and filling station will be conducted
in an In-Fill area. All access and public utilities are available to the site.
The proposed site, with issuance of a Development Plan with a Minor
Exception, and a Conditional Use Permit, is in conformance with all zoning
requirements of the Development Code.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Applications No. PA PA14-0166, a Development Plan with a Minor
Exception for an existing Chevron Station to construct a 1,936 square foot commercial
retail building, and a propane tank and filling station, and PA14-0186, a Conditional Use
Permit to construct a 1,042 square foot car wash, located at 27560 Jefferson Avenue,
