WHEREAS, said Plot Plan application was processed in the time and manner prescribed

WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Commission hearing, the Commission recommended
approval of said Plot Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. Findinga That the 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:
The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general
plan.
B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the Southwest Area Community
Plan, (hereinafier "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. Pursuant to Section 18.30(c), no plot plan may be approved unless the following
findings can be made:
1. The proposed use must conform to all the General Plan requirements and
with all applicable requirements of state law and City ordinances.
2. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the
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.
3. The Planning Commission, in recommending denial of the proposed Plot
Plan, makes the following findings, to wit:
a. The project was originally approved with a condition to pave the
parking lot; the applicant agreed to this condition of approval on March 27, 1989 and the applicant
has not demonstrated an acceptable reason for not paving the parking lot other than economic
reasons.
b. Section 18.12.b. 1.b. of Ordinance No. 348 requires all parking lots to
be paved; approval of this Revised Permit will make this project inconsistent with Section
18.12.b. 1 .b. of Ordinance No. 348.
c. Section 9.4.b. of Ordinance No. 348 requires all projects with the C-
1/C-P zone designation to comply with all requirements of Section 18.12 of Ordinance No. 348;
approval of this Revised Permit will make this project inconsistent with Article IX of Ordinance
No. 348 which is the requirements for C-1/C-P zoning designation.
d. The South West Area Plan (SWAP) requires all projects to be
consistent with Ordinance No. 348; approving this project, as demonstrated in Findings 2 and 3,
will make this project inconsistent with Ordinance No. 348, therefore, making it inconsistent with
SWAP.
e. The granting of the Variance will probably be inconsistent with the
future General Plan in that it will not set policy guidelines that will allow gravel parking lots.
f. The City of Temecula has not approved a gravel parking lot for any
project and approving this Revised Permit could set a precedent in reviewing future projects.
g. The Plot Plan as proposed does not conform to the logical
development of its proposed site, and is incompatible with the present and future development of
the surrounding property.
Section II. F~nvironmental Compliance This project has been recommended for
denial, therefore, no environmental determination has been made.
