Development Code (Section 17.05.010.F)
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 proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies contained within the
General Plan. According to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the
Professional Office Land Use Designation allows for multi-tenant office buildings
situated in a landscaped garden setting. This project is a two-story professional
office building with sufficient landscaping and outdoor amenities consistent with
the objectives contained the General Plan. The proposed project is also consistent
with the Development Code standards and all zoning requirements for the
Professional Office (PO) zoning district. The project meets all applicable design
standards contained within the Development Code and City-Wide Design
Guidelines, and the design of the project meets the intent of the Community Design
Element of the General Plan. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as
conditioned, is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The
project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of
State law and local Ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the
public health, safety and general welfare;
The overall design of this project, including the site design, building elevations,
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.
The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, 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 which will protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Development Plan 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 15332, Class 32 In-Fill Development Project);
1. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and
all applicable General Plan policies as well as with applicable zoning
designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the Professional Office Land Use Designation.
The General Plan Professional Office designation includes primarily multi-
tenant office developments, which is consistent with the proposal. The
project is consistent with all applicable General Plan policies, including the
target Floor Area Ratio (FAR), and with all applicable zoning designation
regulations and standards contained within the Development Code. The
project meets all of the Development Standards for projects within the
Professional Office zoning district, as the project meets all applicable
requirements for lot coverage, building setbacks, FAR, landscape
requirements and parking requirements for projects in the Professional
Office zone.
2. The proposed project occurs within City limits on a project site of no more
than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed project for the Margarita Medical Office Building occurs within
City limits on Lot 3 of Parcel Map 31711. The project site is 1.06 net acres.
The parking lot paving is existing onsite, and extends across the
neighboring parcels. Additionally, the site is surrounded by urban uses
which consist of existing single family homes to the east, an office building
that is currently being constructed to the north, and existing commercial
uses to the south.
3. The project site has no value for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not known to have value as habitat for endangered, rare
or threatened species. The site has been graded and an existing parking
lot exists onsite. Additionally, a 30-day pre-construction Burrowing Owl
Assessment will be conducted to ensure no borrowing owls are present
prior to any ground disturbance and consistent with MSHCP policies.
4. The approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating
to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
The approval of this project is not anticipated to result in any significant
effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality because the
project is consistent with the General Plan, and any potentially significant
environmental impacts have been analyzed and mitigation measures have
been adopted as consistent with the findings contained within the General
Plan Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula.
5. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
The project site can be served by all required utilities and public services.
The project has been reviewed by the Rancho California Water District, as
well as Riverside County Department of Environmental Health. Both of
these agencies have indicated that water service and sanitary sewer
services would be available contingent upon all required financial
agreements. The appropriate utility services have been provided to all
surrounding development and the site has been adequately designed to
ensure that all public services can access the site for all necessary services.

in use. If the business becomes a victim of check fraud, the Police Department will be able to
track the suspect with the thumbprint.
132. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
that"the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery or
signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition can
serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones.
Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public to private
space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations.
Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the location less
attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e. Place unsafe
activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural surveillance or
controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel safer. f.
Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may conflict
with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for example) by distance,
natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of space. The
timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause abnormal users to
be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to increase the
perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk of detection
and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide such a
perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be
accomplished through improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
133. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their location
can contact the Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police Department at (951)
695-2773.
134. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
