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; The proposed project is located within the Professional Office (PO) land use designation and according to the General Plan, this land use designation includes low-rise single or multi-tenant offices situated in landscaped garden arrangements. The General Plan also indicates that typical uses in the Professional Office land use designation include legal, design, engineering, medical, corporate and governmental office users. The proposed project is a low-rise multi-tenant office building. The users are anticipated to be general office type uses consistent with the typical users anticipated by the General Plan. The proposed project is located within the Professional Office zoning district and is consistent with all Development Code requirements and Development Standards for projects located in this zone. B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure conformance with the Development, Building, and Fire codes. These codes contain provisions designed to ensure the protection of the public health, safety, and general 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 a Modification for a previously approved Development Plan. Due to drought circumstances, previously approved landscaping had to be removed. 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 15,432 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.
