General Plan Amendment
' A. The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest.
Resos 16-64 2
The current General Plan designation for the proposed project area is
Professional Office (PO). The proposed amendment would change this to Community
Commercial (CC). The revised designation will allow the project area to be consistent
with the overall commercial character of the Temecula Parkway corridor. The General
Plan Amendment is in the public interest because it provides for additional commercial
service options that are consistent with the Temecula Parkway corridor, for citizens, as
well as passby traffic on Interstate 15.
B. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety and
welfare of the community.
The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety, and welfare
of the community. The General Plan Amendment will ensure compliance with all
Building, Fire, and Development Codes. These codes set policies and standards that
protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. In addition, the General Plan
Amendment is tied to a Planned Development Overlay that establishes specific building
design guidelines and standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the
surrounding community. Therefore, the General Plan Amendment is compatible with
the health, safety and welfare of the community.
C. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with existing and surrounding
uses.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible with surrounding land
uses. The current land uses north, east and west of the project area consist primarily of
commercial, residential, and a park and ride facility. The project would provide for a mix
of commercial land uses that can be utilized by the surrounding residential.
D. The amendment will not have an adverse effect on the community and are
consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the direction, goals
and policies of the General Plan. The General Plan amendments will implement the
goals and policies of the City's General Plan, provide balanced and diversified land
uses, and impose appropriate standards and requirements with respect to land
development and use in order to maintain the overall quality of life and the environment
within the City. The goals and policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan
encourage "a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public
and open space land uses" (Goal 1), and "a City of diversified development character,
where rural and historical areas are protected and co-exist with newer urban
development" (Goal 3). The project's land use mix will include commercial, retail and
restaurant uses, intentional pedestrian-oriented design of pathways and sidewalks that
will maximize the connectivity of the area. This will ensure that locally-owned and
operated business and services will continue to thrive, side-by-side with the new wave
' of entrepreneurial ventures. The proposed General Plan Amendment will result in
compatible future development, which will meet the recommended land use and

circulation pattern, maximum density and intensity of development, a desired mix of
uses and other factors consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
Section 3. Amendment to General Plan Text. The City Council approves and
amends the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the existing General Plan
designation from Professional Office (PO) to Community Commercial (CC) and amends
Figure LU-11 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as shown on Exhibit A,
"Proposed General Plan" attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth in
full.
Section 4. City Manager Authorization. The City Manager is hereby
authorized and directed to take all steps necessary to implement this General Plan
Amendment.
Section 5. Consistency with General Plan. The Land Use Element of the
General Plan, as amended by this Resolution, is consistent with the other elements of
the General Plan, consistent with Government Code Section 65300.5. Insofar as other
portions of the General Plan need to be revised to effectuate this General Plan
Amendment, the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to make all necessary
revisions to effectuate this General Plan Amendment.
Section 6. Severability. If any portion, provision, section, paragraph,
' sentence, or word of this Resolution is rendered or declared to be invalid by any final
court action in a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive
legislation, the remaining portions, provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, and
words of this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect and shall be interpreted by
the court so as to give effect to such remaining portions of the Resolution.
Section 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect upon its adoption.
Section 8. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution and cause it to be published in the manner required by law.
