Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in recommending approval of Planning
Application No. PA99-0376 (Development Plan) hereby makes the following findings as required by
Section 17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code;
A. The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the project is
compatible with the General Plan designation and consistent with Specific Plan No. 263 (Temecula
Regional Center SP). The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The
General Plan Land Use designation for the site is CC Community Commercial. The proposal as
designed and conditioned is consistent with these designations.
B. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with Specific
Plan No. 263 (Temecula Regional Center SP), the City's General Plan, Development Code,
Subdivision and Landscaping Ordinances. The project is consistent with these documents and
conditions of approval have been placed on the project accordingly to assure that the development
conforms to City Standards.
C. The design of the proposed development plan and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within
the proposed project. The proposal as designed and conditioned provides adequate access and
circulation.

D. The development plan as proposed, conforms to the logical development of the site,
and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. Access and circulation are
adequate for emergency vehicles. The Fire Department has reviewed the Vehicle Plan submitted
in conjunction with the Development Plan, for adequate emergency vehicle turning radii. The City
Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project's Traffic Study with regards to public health and safety of
the community.
E. The design of the proposed project and the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat. There are no known fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not
affect any fish, wildlife or habitat off-site. The site is largely surrounded by development and is an
infill site. Furthermore, grading has already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger
specific plan. The project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife
resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
Section 3. Environmental Comoliance. The Environmental Impact Report prepared for the
Temecula Regional Specific Plan was approved and certified by the City of Temecula in July of 1993.
Since that date an Addendum adopted October of 1994. This project has been found to be
consistent with the General Plan and the Temecula Regional Specific Plan. An Initial Study was
prepared for this project with the determination that all environmental impacts associated with
this project have been addressed and mitigated by the Temecula Regional Center EIR. Therefore
it has been determined that this project is consistent with a project for which a EIR has
previously been certified.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves
