SECTION 1.. FindinQs. That the City of 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:
(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
A:PM26488 12
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) The proposed zone change will not have a
significant adverse effect on the environment,
as determined in the initial study performed
for this project. A Negative Declaration is
recommended for adoption.
b) There is not a reasonable probability of
substantial detriment to, or interference with,
the future and adopted General Plan, if the
proposed use or action is ultimately
inconsistent with the plan. The project is not
of significant scope in the context of city-side
and regional development patterns.
A:PM26488 13
c) The proposed change in district classification
is reasonable and beneficial at this time as it
is a logical expansion of residential uses which
exist in the vicinity of the project site.
d) The proposed change in district classification
from R-A-2 1/2 to R-1-1 will likely be
consistent with the goals, policies and action
programs which will be contained in the
General Plan when it is ultimately adopted.
The density and land use proposed are
consistent with the Southwest Area Plan
(SWAP) recommendations for the subject
property. Further, densities and uses
proposed are similar to existing densities and
uses in the vicinity of the project.
e) The site of the proposed change in district
classification is suitable to accommodate all
the land uses currently permitted in the
proposed zoning district as it is of adequate
size and shape for the proposed residential
use. Possible land use conflicts are not likely
to arise as the project proposes residential
uses similar to those existing in the general
vicinity of the subject site.
f) Adequate access exists for the proposed
residential land use from Walcott Lane and
Calle Chapos. Additional internal access and
required road improvements abutting proposed
lots will be designed and constructed in
conformance with City standards.
g) That said findings are supported by analysis,
minutes, maps, exhibits, and environmental
documents associated with this application
and herein incorporated by reference.
D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. Environmental Comoliance.
A:PM26488 14
An Initial Study was performed for this project determined that Change
of Zone No. 15 could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Negative
Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.
SECTION 3. Recommendation.
That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby recommends
approval of Zone Change No. 15 to change the zoning on 4.5 acres of land from R-A-
2 1/2 to R-1-1 on property generally located at the southeast corner of Walcott Lane
and Calle Chapos and known as Assessor's Parcel No. 914-300-049.
