NOW, THEREFORE, THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby
incorporated by reference.
Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application
No. 02-0361 (Minor Conditional Use Permit) hereby makes the following findings as required by
Section 17.04.010.E of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposal, a church facility, is consistent with the land use designation and
polices reflected in the Business Park (BP) land use standards in the City of Temecula General
Plan, as well as the development standards for the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district contained
in the City's Development Code.
B. Staff in its review of the project has determined that this conditional use will be
compatible with adjacent uses in the surrounding area. The exterior portion of the building is
not being changed and it currently is compatible with the surrounding buildings. The project as
proposed will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
C. The project as proposed is requesting to move into an existing multi-tenant
building. It has been determined by staff that this existing building will accommodate this
conditional use and is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences,

buffer areas and other features prescribed in the Development Code. Although the available
on-site parking is inadequate to accommodate the required number of vehicle spaces for the
proposed use, a binding lease agreement with the adjacent property owner will provide the
required number of additional parking spaces at the adjacent property to meet City Code
requirements and has been conditioned for annual verification.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community. The proposed conditional use has been reviewed by the
Fire Department and conditioned to insure that the health, safety, and general welfare of the
community has been safeguarded. The building will be inspected by the Building Department
prior to occupancy to insure that the project is in conformance with the applicable building
codes.
E. The project has been completely reviewed, as a whole, in reference to all
applicable codes and ordinances before the Director of Planning.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. A Notice of Exemption for Planning
Application No. 02-0361 was made per the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects, Class 32). This project is an in-fill development
and meets the following criteria:
• The site is 0.83 gross acres, which is less than the 5 acres required.
• The proposed project is consistent the General Plan and with Development Code
• The site has been previously developed and has no value as habitat for endangered,
rare, or threatened species.
• The approval of the project will not result in any adverse effects related to traffic, noise,
air quality or water quality.
• The site is currently served by all required public utilities and services.
