NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLEOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No.
PA98-0347 makes the following findings; to wit:
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. 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.
B. The proposed overall development of the land is not designed for the
protection of the public health, safety and welfare. The proposed project interior fencing and gating
unreasonably segregates the buildings; removes the required common parking necessary for the
proposed development; creates opportunities for trash debris to gather in an unsanitary manner; and
causes foreseeable inference with public safety service responses. The landscaping design and
quantity is inadequate given the proposed site layout and the development applicant's initial offer to
reconfigure the project's frontage landscape design and building set back.
C. 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.
