NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF TEMECULA PLANNING
COMMISSION DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
~ECTION 1. E~. 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
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
STAFFRPT~CZ15~.6845.TPM
lO
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-wide and regional
development patterns.
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-A will likely be consistent
STAFFRPT~CZ1 b~2.6845.TPM
11
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 Ynez Road and
Santiago Road. 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.
~ 2. Envirnnment~l Cnm.nli~ne~,
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 described in the
Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration,
therefore, is hereby granted.
STAFFRPT~CZ15~6845.TPM
