required by Section 17.05.030.E of the City of Temecula Municipal Code for a
development plan and by Section 17.04.010.E of the City of Temecula Municipal Code
for a Conditional Use Permit:
Development Code Findings (Section 17.05.030.E):
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for the City of
Temecula and with all the applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of
the City;
The proposed Modification to a Development Plan is in conformance with the
goals and policies in the General Plan for the City of Temecula, the Development
Code, and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of
the City of Temecula. As designed and conditioned the project is consistent with
all applicable zoning ordinances, state laws and the General Plan. In addition,
the project is consistent with the development standards of the Development
Code and associated Planned Development Overlay (PDO-9), including
setbacks, parking, landscaping, lighting, lot coverage and height.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the
public, health, safety and general welfare;
The overall development of the land has been designed for the protection of the
public health, safety, and general welfare as the project has been designed to
minimize any adverse impacts upon the surrounding neighborhood and has been
reviewed and conditioned to comply with the General Plan, Development Code,
and uniform building and fire codes.
Conditional Use Permit Findings (Section 17.04.010.E):
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code;
The proposed Conditional Use Permit modification is consistent with the General
Plan and the Development Code. The proposal, a Major Modification to a
Development Plan (PA07-0200) and Conditional Use Permit (PA07-0202) for the
Temecula Valley Hospital to relocate the previously approved helistop to two new
locations including an interim location for use during preliminary project phases
and a permanent location on the roof of a future hospital tower to be constructed
during a later phase and to construct an approximately 5,000 square foot single
story storage building for non-hazardous material storage (including disaster
supplies, linens, and storage of excess construction materials to allow for repairs)
to be located at the site of the previously approved helistop is consistent with the
goals and policies contained in the General Plan and land use standards in the
Development Code. The goals and policies in the Land Use Element of the
General Plan encourage `A diverse and integrated mix of residential,
commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses" (Goal 1);
'A City of diversified development character where rural and historical areas are
protected and co-exist with newer urban development" (Goal 3); and 'A City
compatible and coordinated with regional land use and transportation patterns"
(Goal 8). In addition, the project is consistent with the development standards of
the Development Code and associated Planned Development Overlay (PDO-9),
including setbacks, parking, landscaping, lighting, lot coverage and height.
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 proposed modifications to the hospital's Conditional Use Permit are
consistent with the previously approved helistop site with regard to the nature,
condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and affect
on the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. Although the Supplemental EIR
identifies "Substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity and exposure of persons to excessive noise levels", it also
identifies that Section 9.20.030 (Noise Ordinance) of the Temecula Municipal
Code exempts sound emanating from "Public safety personnel in the course of
executing their official duties, including, but not limited to, sworn peace officers,
emergency personnel and public utility personnel. This exemption includes,
without limitation, sound emanating from all equipment used by such personnel,
whether stationary or mobile"and the Supplemental EIR identifies that limitations
on medical flights are not allowed pursuant to Public Utilities Section 21662.4.(a),
which states that aircraft flights for medical purposes are exempt from local
ordinances that restrict flight departures and arrivals to particular hours of the day
or night, or restrict flights due to noise. As such, the proposed project
modifications are compatible with the nature, condition and development of
adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use
modifications (exempting noise pursuant to Section 9.20.030 of the Temecula
Municipal Code and Section 21662.4.(a) of the Public Utilities Code) will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. Additionally, the
proposed storage building integrates into the hospital complex and is compatible
with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and
structures and will not adversely affect the adjacent hospital uses, buildings or
structures.
C. The site for a 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 site for the conditional uses, including the hospital buildings and helistop, 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 this development code and required by the planning commission or
council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood. The
project is in compliance with the development standards of the Development
Code and associated Planed Development Overlay (PDO-9), including setbacks,
parking, landscaping, lighting, lot coverage and height. The site is adequate in
size and shape to accommodate the proposed hospital facilities without affecting
the yard, parking and loading areas, landscaping, and other development
features prescribed in the Development Code.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the community;
The Modification to the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the community. The purpose of the
Modification to the helistop location is to address Caltrans Division of Aeronautics
and Federal Aviation Administration safety concerns in a manner that minimizes
impacts to the surrounding community with regard to aesthetics, hazards, and
helicopter noise. As such, with regard to the helistop, the purpose of the
Modification to the use permit is specifically to redesign the helistop to ensure
that the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of
the community.
E. That the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the
application for a Conditional Use Permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the
record as a whole before the Planning Commission or City Council on appeal;
The decision to recommend that the City Council conditionally approve the
proposed Modification to a Conditional Use Permit is based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental finding and determinations in connection with the
recommendation for approval of Planning Application No. PA13-0141, a Major
Modification to the Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the Temecula
Valley Hospital (the "Project').
A. On January 24, 2006, the City Council approved and certified the Final
Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") for the Temecula Regional Hospital; on January
22, 2008, the City Council approved and certified the Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Report ("FSEIR") for the Temecula Regional Hospital; and on February 8, 2011
the City Council approved and certified the Addendum to the Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report.
B. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), City staff
prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the approval of the
Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit Major Modification Application (the
"Project'), as described in the Initial Study. Based upon the findings contained in that
study, City staff determined that the City determined that the proposed modifications to
the project did trigger conditions described in Sections 15162 and 15163 of the CEQA
Guidelines which require the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report (SEIR) and that a SEIR is appropriate for the proposed modifications to the
hospital project.
C. On November 25, 2013, a Notice of Preparation was released to all
agencies and persons that might be affected by the project.
D. On December 11, 2013, a scoping session was held at which time City
staff and interested persons had an opportunity to determine the extent of issues to be
addressed in the SEIR for the Project.
E. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, City staff prepared a
SEIR analyzing the potential environmental effects of the approval of the Development
Plan and Conditional Use Permit Major Modification, and described in the SEIR. Based
upon the finding contained in that study, City staff determined that there was substantial
evidence that the Project could result in new significant effects or increase the severity
of previously identified effects. The Supplemental EIR found that new circumstances do
exist that introduce new significant effects or increase the severity of previously
identified significant effects and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and
Statement of Overriding Considerations was prepared.
F. Thereafter, City staff circulated a Notice of Completion indicating the
public comment period and intent to adopt the SEIR as required by law. The public
comment period commenced via the State Clearing House from November 12, 2014
through December 26, 2014. Copies of the documents have been available for public
review and inspection at the offices of the Department of Community Development,
located at 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California 92590; the Temecula Public Library
located at 30600 Pauba Road; and the City of Temecula website.
G. Six written comments were 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 proceedings.
H. The Planning Commission reviewed the SEIR and corresponding
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Statement of Overriding
Considerations and all comments received regarding these documents prior to and at
the April 15, 2015 public hearing and based on the whole record before it found that:
(1) the SEIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of
Overriding Considerations were prepared in compliance with CEQA; (2) there was
substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment
with regard to helicopter noise; and (3) the SEIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations reflected the independent
judgment of the Planning Commission.
I. Thereafter, City staff circulated a Notice of Completion indicating the
public comment period and intent to adopt the Recirculated SEIR as required by law.
The public comment period commenced via the State Clearing House from February 8,
2016 to March 23, 2016. Copies of the documents have been available for public
review and inspection at the offices of the Department of Community Development,
located at 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California 92590; the Temecula Public Library
located at 30600 Pauba Road; and the City of Temecula website.
I Five written comments were 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 proceedings.
K. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Recirculated SEIR and
corresponding Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Statement of
Overriding Considerations and all comments received regarding these documents prior
to and at the May 4, 2016 public hearing and based on the whole record before it finds
that: (1) the Recirculated SEIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and
Statement of Overriding Considerations were prepared in compliance with CEQA; (2)
there is substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the
environment with regard to helicopter noise; and (3) the Recirculated SEIR, Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations
reflected the independent judgment of the Planning Commission.
L. The custodian of records for the FEIR, the SFEIR, the Addendum for the
modification application, the second SFEIR, the Recirculated SFEIR and all other
materials, which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning
Commission's decision is based, is the Community Development Department of the City
of Temecula. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning
Department located at the Planning Department of the City of Temecula, 41000 Main
