1. The proposed use conforms to all General Plan requirements and with all

General Plan Land Use designation of Business Park (BP). In addition, the project is permitted
under the existing Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC) zoning.

public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and
is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property.
R:\STAFFRPT~34P^95.PC 1/9/96 an 7
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 18.30 (Plot Plan) of Ordinance No. 348.
4. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety or
general welfare of the community. An Initial Study was prepared for this project which
indicated that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment,
the significant effects can be mitigated to a level less than significant. This is accomplished
through project design and mitigation measures contained in the Conditions of Approval and the
Mitigation Monitoring Program.
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
planning application (Plot Plan), as conditioned, complies with the standards contained within
the City's General Plan and Ordinance No. 348.
6. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project is
located in an area of existing and proposed light industrial and commercial office development.
7. Approval of this Plot Plan will have a di minimis impact on fish and
wildlife resources. The project involves no potential adverse effect, either individually or
cumulatively, on wildlife as the same is defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
8. 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 publicly maintained roads
(Winchester Road, Diaz Road, and Avenida De Ventas).
9. 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.
10. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental
documents associated with these applications and herein incorporat_ed by reference.
A. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, Planning Application No. PA95-0034, as
proposed, conforms to the logical development of its proposed site, and is compatible with the
present and future development of the surrounding property.
B. The Planning Commission in adopting the Negative Declaration, pursuant to the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically finds that the approval of
this Plot Plan will have a di minimis impact on fish and wildlife resources. The Planning
Commission specifically finds that in considering the record as a whole, the project involves no
potential adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife as the same is defined
in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code. This is because that this project will be located
in an area that has previously been disturbed and has not historically contained any sensitive
habitat. The project includes the construction of a 309,213 square foot building to be used for
office, warehousing and distribution, and assembly/clean room and that all of the same are
located in the County of Riverside. Furthermore, the Planning Commission finds that an initial
R:\STAFFRPT\34PA95.PC 1/9/96 gn ~
study has been prepared by the City Staff and considered by the Planning Commission which
has been the basis to evaluate the potential for adverse impact on the environment and forms the
basis for the Planning Commission's determination, including the information contained in the
public heating records, on which a Negative Declaration of environmental impact was issued and
this di minimis finding is made. In addition, the Planning Commission finds that there is no
evidence before the City that the proposed project will have any potential for an adverse effect
on wildlife resources, or the habitat on which the wildlife depends. Finally, the Planning
Commission finds that the City has, on the basis of substantial evidence, rebutted the
presumption of adverse effect contained in 14 California Code of Regulations 753.5(d).
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this project
indicates that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures included in the
Mitigation Monitoring Program will reduce these impacts to insignificant levels. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration is hereby granted.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
approves Planning Application No. PA95-0034 to construct a 309,213 square foot building
located on northwest corner of Winchester Road and Diaz Road, and known as Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 909-310-029 through 040 subject to the following conditions:
A. Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference and made
a part hereof.
