Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On December 14, 2015, Lawrence Canale filed Planning Application No.
PA15-1843 a Development Plan, in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula
General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on April 20, 2016, at a duly noticed public hearing
as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an
opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA15-1843, subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Development Plan (Development Code Section 17.05.010.F)
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula
and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
As conditioned, the proposed ALDI Market is consistent with land use
designation and policies reflected for Professional Office (PO) development in
the City of Temecula General Plan. The General Plan has listed Grocery Store
as a conditionally permitted use in the professional office locations. The site is
properly planned and zoned and is physically suitable for the use proposed. The
project is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and
local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
City Wide Design Guidelines, and fire and building codes.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the
public health, safety, and general welfare;
As conditioned, the project will meet all requirements of the Development Code,
General Plan, and Building and Fire Codes, which provide safeguards for the
health, safety and general welfare of the community and the overall design of the
site, building, landscaping, parking, circulation and other associated site
improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health and safety of
those working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for and 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.
Minor Exception (Code Section 17.03.060.D)
A. That 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 an 18,555 square foot grocery store in the Professional Office
(PO) zone which requires 25% landscape coverage. This creates practical
difficulties and unnecessary hardships due to the strict application of the
Professional Office Development Standards with respect to landscape coverage
for conditionally permitted uses. A reduction of landscape coverage to 16,312
square feet 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 landscaping and hardscape that will
enhance the site. The use proposed is 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:
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);
The request for a Development Plan for an 18,555 square foot structure in the
Professional Office zone is in conformance with all general plan designations,
policies and zoning requirements of the Development Code and will be
conducted in an In-Fill area within the city limits on a site less than five acres in
size. The project has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species. Approval of the site will not result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water supply. All access and public utilities are
available to the site.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA15-1843, ALDI Market to allow for the
construction of an 18,555 square foot structure to be used as a food market and making
a finding of exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The site
is located south of Rancho California Road and east of Moraga Road. (APN 944-290-
027), subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by this reference.
