THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. That the Temecula City Council
hereby makes the following findings:
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 deci-
sions be consistent with the general plan, if all of the follow-
ing requirements are met:
(a) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with
the preparation of the general plan.
(b) The planning agency finds, in approving projects
and taking other actions, each of the following:
There is reasonable probability that the land
use or action proposed will be consistent
with the general plan proposal being consid-
ered or studied or which will be studied
within a reasonable time;
(2) There is little or no probability of substan-
tial detriment to or interference with the
future adoDted general plan if the proposed
use or action is ultimately inconsistent with
the plan;
(3) The proposed use or action complies with all
other applicable requirements of state law
and local ordinances.
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
1
proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its
General Plan.
The proposed land use regulations are consistent with
the SWAP and meet the requirements set forth in Section 65360 of
the Government Code, to wit:
(a) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with
the preparation of the general plan.
The City Council finds, in adopting land use regu-
lations pursuant to this title, each of the fol-
lowing=
(1)
There is reasonable probability that Ordi-
nance No. 91- will be consistent with the
general plan proposal being considered or
studied or which will be studied within a
reasonable time.
(2)
There is little or no probability of substan-
tial detriment to or interference with the
future adopted general plan if the proposed
use or action is ultimately inconsistent with
the plan.
(3)
The proposed use or action complies with all
other applicable requirements of state law
and local ordinances.
WHEREAS, studies conducted in various communities in
other jurisdictions have demonstrated that the proximity and
concentration of adult businesses adjacent to residential,
religious, educational, or other adult businesses can cause other
businesses and residents to move elsewhere. Adult businesses are
linked to increases in crime rates in areas surrounding such
businesses and such businesses may adversely affect the public
health, safety, and welfare of citizens; and
WHEREAS, adult uses are recognized as having serious
objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when
several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances or
located in direct proximity to residential neighborhoods, thereby
having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special
regulation of these areas is necessary to ensure that these
adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrad-
ing of the surrounding neighborhood. The primary control or
regulation is for the purpose of preventing the concentration or
location of these uses in a manner that would create such adverse
effects; and
2
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Ordinance
provides a sufficient n,~m~er of locations within the City in
which all of the types of businesses regulated by this Ordinance
be conducted. The location and design standards established by
this ordinance do not unreasonably restrict the development of
adult-oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, permitting and/or licensing is a legitimate
and reasonable means of accountability to ensure that operators
of sexually oriented business comply with reasonable regulations
and to ensure that operators do not knowingly allow their estab-
lishments to be used as places of illegal sexual activity or
solicitation.
