Findinqs. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings: A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly incorporated city shall adopt a general plan within thirty (30) months following incorporation. During that 30-month period of time, the city is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the general plan, if all of the following requirements are met: STAFFRPT\SC 11 I (1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general plan. (2) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and taking other actions, including the issuance of building permits, each of the following: (a) There is a reasonable probability that the land use or action proposed will be consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which will be studied within a reasonable time. (b) There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed use or action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. (c) The proposed use or action complied with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as its General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its General Plan. C. The Planning Commission in recommending approval of the proposed Change of Zone, makes the following findings, to wit: a) There is a reasonable probability that Change of Zone No. 9 will be consistent with the City's future General Plan, which will be completed in a reasonable time and in accordance with State law, due to the fact that the subject request is consistent with the density which is already approved for the existing specific plan, and the proposed change is relatively similar in character to the STAFFRP%SCl 1 2 approved project. b) There is not a likely probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future General Plan, if Change of Zone No. 9 is ultimately inconsistent with the plan, due to the fact that an approval of the change of zone does not represent a significant change in the current land use approval. c) The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning ordinance. d) The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, because it does not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area, due to the fact that the proposed density is consistent with the zoning ordinance and approved specific plan. D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. SECTION 2. Environmental Compliance. Based on the criteria established in Section 15061.3 of the California Environmental Quality Act, Change of Zone No. 9 has been determined to be exempt. SECTION 3. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 1st day of July, 1991.
