interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support or in opposition;
WHEREAS, at the public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments,
if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, the Commission considered all facts relating to Planning
Application No. PA98-0462 (Development Plan);
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No. PA98-
0462 (Development Plan) makes the following findings; to wit:
Findings for Minor Exception
1. The overall project is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code
and as a consequence, the granting of the Minor Exception will not impact the public health, safety and
general welfare of adjacent properties and the City of Temecula as a whole.
2. The project proposes to provide 216 parking spaces and is required to provide
224 spaces. This reduction is far less than a 15% reduction which is required by the Development Code.
3. Due to site constraints resulting from the project's proximity to a major storm
drain facility additional portions of the site are forced to be left undeveloped. As a consequence, there
are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by the sthct application of the code due to the
physical characteristics of the property.
4. Due to the constraints assodated with the site, the granting of a Minor Exception
for this project does not represent the granting of a special privilege, which is 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.

5. This proposal is consistent with the zoning district in which it is located,
therefore the granting of the Minor Exception to reduce the amount of required parking will not permit
uses, which are othenvise not allowed in the zone, and adequate safeguards have been built into the
approval of the project to protect surrounding properties.
Project Findings
1. 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 project is consistent
with all City Ordinances including: the City's Development Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Mt. Palomar
Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions.
2. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety and welfare. The project as proposed complies with all City Ordinances and meets the
standards adopted by the City of Temecula designed for the protection of the public health, safety and
welfare.
3. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species
or their habitats, or to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site has been previously
disturbed and graded, and streetscape installed on site. There are no native species of plants or
vegetation at the site, nor any indication that any wildlife species exist, or that the site serves as a
migration corridor. A DeMiminimus impact finding can be made for this project.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this project indicates that
although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
Planning Application No. PA98-0462 (Development Plan) to construct and operate a 132,883 square foot
industrial building, with associated parking, landscaping and hardscape and improvements on a parcel
containing 7.5 acres located at 26879 Diaz Road (at the southwest corner of Diaz Road and Dendy
Parkway [formerly Winchester Road]) and known as a portion of Assessor's Parcel No. 909-037-009
subject to Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof.
