D. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
E. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application
and environmental review on August 2, 2017, 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.

consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA17-0167 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
G. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. Consistent with Development Code Section
17.05.030.E the Planning Commission, in approving the Application hereby finds,
determines and declares that:
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 Modification is consistent with the Development
Code and policies reflected for Community Commercial (CC) designations in the
City of Temecula General Plan. The Specific Plan and General Plan list retail as a
permitted use in Community Commercial 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. Moreover, Policy 2.9 of the Community
Design element of the General Plan states, "Establish rehabilitation programs for
older commercial centers to prevent blight and maintain the quality of the built
environment." The proposed project will significantly rehabilitate a portion of an
existing commercial center with private funds.
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. 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.
For example, the project will include updated ramps, railings, parking stalls and
sidewalk improvements to comply with ADA regulations which will provide
safeguards for the health, safety and general welfare of the community.
Additionally, the trash enclosures will now be covered which will ensure that water
quality issues are addressed.
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.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Major Modification Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities);
1. The proposed project would allow for the alteration of exterior elevations,
colors, and materials at an existing commercial shopping center. A 433
square foot addition for the project is within an existing building's envelope
and falls under 50% of the square foot of the existing building (while also
being under 2,500 square feet).
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA17-0167, subject to the Conditions of Approval set
forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
