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 approving the proposed Planning Application (Public Use Permit), makes the following findings, to wit: 1. There is a reasonable probability that the land use or action proposed will be consistent with the General Plan proposal being considered or studied within a reasonable time. The land use designation for the site is identified in the draft General Plan as Public/Institutional Facilities. The draft General Plan states: "Additional public and institutional uses, including churches and daycare facilities, may be developed in the residential or non- residential land use designations under the procedures established in the Development Code." Until the Development Code is adopted, the provisions contained in Ordinance No. 348 are utilized. Churches are permitted in any zone under Ordinance No. 348 provided that a public use permit is granted. 2. There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted General Plan if the proposed action is ultimately inconsistent with the Plan. The land use designation for the site is identified in the draft General Plan as Public/Institutional Facilities. Uses which are consistent with the Public/Institutional Facilities land use designation will ultimately be permitted on this site, and would include churches. 3. The proposed use or action complies with all other requirements of state law and local ordinances. The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.29 (Public Use Permit) of Ordinance No. 348. The proposed project is consistent with Specific Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village. The project is located within Planning Area No. 31 of Specific Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village, and is identified as a 5.3 acre church site within the Specific Plan. The project as designed and conditioned meets all the requirements of Specific Plan No. 199. R:\S~STAFFRPT~27PA93.PC 9121193 tis 9 4. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community. In addition, the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures have been included in the Conditions of Approval that will reduce any impacts to a level less than significant. 5. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, access, and intensity of use, because the proposed plot plan, as conditioned complies with the standards contained within Ordinance No. 348 and Specific Plan No. 199 - Margarita Village. 6. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project is buffered from adjacent uses to the north, south, east and west. A Metropolitan Water District easement exists to the east of the site and will serve as a buffer to residential development in that area. Rancho Vista Road will serve as a buffer to the Temecula Valley High School to the south. Margarita Road, as well as landscaped slopes, will serve as a buffer to residential development to the west and a Rancho California Water District Pump Station as well as on-site parking will serve as a buffer to the apartments north of the site. 7. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic. Access to the project site is from a publicly maintained road (Margarita Road). 8. The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. 9. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. D. As conditioned pursuant to Section 3, the Planning Application (Public Use Permit) proposed is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. Section 2. Environmental Compliance.
