ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 1 . Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On May 24, 2017, Bridget Herdman filed Planning Application No. PA17-
0854 a Development Plan for the construction of an approximately 71,485 square foot,
four-story hotel. On January 29, 2018 Bridget Herdman filed Planning Application No.
PA18-0155 a Minor Exception for a four foot increase in building height, in a manner in
accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application
and environmental review on April 18, 2018, 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.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
Nos. PA17-0854 and PA18-0155, subject to and based upon the findings set forth
hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Development Plan, Development Code Section 17.05.010.E
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;
Hotels are an allowable use within the Downtown Core zoning district of the Old
Town Specific Plan. Therefore, the use will be consistent with the General Plan for
Temecula and the Old Town Specific Plan as well as the requirements for State
law and other Ordinances of the City.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the
public health, safety, and general welfare;
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation
and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect
the health and safety of those working and living in and around the site as the
project is consistent with the General Plan, City Wide Design Guidelines, Old Town
Specific Plan, and Development Code. 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 consistent with the public health, safety,
and welfare.
Minor Exception, Development Code Section 17.03.060.D
A. That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by
strict application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property.
The proposal is for a 9.2% increase in the allowable height within the Downtown
Core zoning district of the Uptown Temecula Specific Plan from 50'-0" to 54'-0".
Due to the natural slope of the property on Fourth Street from the northeast to the
southwest, a hardship is created due to the strict application of the specific plan in
that it makes it difficult to hold to the 50'-0" height limit of a three story building
while meeting the architectural standards of the specific plan. The allowance of
the four-foot increase in height will allow for a roofline architectural element which
will enhance the architecture of the building and will allow the project to meet the
development standards of the specific plan with respect to architecture.
B. The Minor Exception does not grant special privileges which are 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.
Permitting this Minor Exception will not grant special privileges to the applicant and
is intended to meet the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan. The result of
permitting this Minor Exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or to
the property of other persons as the increase in height allows the project to meet
the intent of the specific plan's architectural standards with a roofline architectural
element which will exceed the 50'-0" height limit. The project has been reviewed
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 consistent with the protection of the public
health, safety, and welfare.
C. The Minor Exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect
surrounding properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the
zone.
The project has been conditioned by the Planning, Fire, Building, Police, and
Public Works Departments to protect the surrounding properties. The hotel land
use proposed is permitted per the Downtown Core zoning district of the Old Town
Specific Plan.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Development Plan:
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, In-Fill Development Projects);
The project meets all General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations and is
located within City limits on a site of no more than five acres that is substantially
surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species. The site is also surrounded by
development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities and public services.
The project is not anticipated to result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality as the project, as conditioned, is an allowed use
per the City of Temecula General Plan and the Old Town Specific Plan.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA17-0854, a Development Plan for the construction
of an approximately 71,485 square foot, four-story hotel with underground parking, and
PA18-0155 a Minor Exception for a four foot increase in building height for a roof line
architectural element, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A,
attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

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.
145. 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.
146. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be directed
to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951) 695-2773.
