2018, Darren Berberian, on behalf of Golden West Communities, filed Planning Application

applications (collectively "the Project") were filed in a manner in accord with the City of
Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program were prepared for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ("CEQA"). City staff

Negative Declaration as required by law. The public comment period commenced on

noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the ,City staff and interested
persons had an opportunity to, and did testify either in support of or opposition to this
matter.
E. Following consideration of the entire record before it at the public hearing and
due consideration of the Project the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-01
"A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
ADOPTING THE FINAL MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND ADOPTING A
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE VINE CREEK
RESIDENTIAL PROJECT CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 2.27 ACRES GENERALLY
LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF PUJOL STREET APPROXIMATELY 130 FEET
NORTH OF THE MAIN STREET AND PUJOL STREET INTERSECTION ON THE EAST
SIDE OF PUJOL STREET (APN NOS. 922-053-021, 922-053-047, 922-053-048).
F. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Minor Exception (Section 17.03.060)
A. There are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict
application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property;
The project is an affordable residential development located on a site that is both
narrow and deep. In order to be competitive for State incentives the project must
include as many units as possible. Per Government Code § 65915(p)(1) (Density
Bonuses and other Incentives), the City can require 113 parking spaces for the
project. Requiring this amount of spaces given the dimensions of the project site
creates a practical difficulty with regard to maximizing the project unit count. Not
being awarded State incentives will make the project infeasible for the applicant. The
Minor Exception will allow for a further reduction in the required parking total for the
project to 102 spaces. This allows the project to maximize the number of units and
thus remain competitive for State incentives.
B. The Minor Exception does not grant special privileges which are not
otherwise available to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or to the property of other persons located in the vicinity;
Existing surrounding properties are made-up of residential buildings. Other property
owners have the ability to apply for a Minor Exception. The proposed Minor
Exception should not create any detrimental conditions to surrounding properties.
There is a transit stop located within 130 feet of the Project, therefore, the City
anticipates that some households will not have cars or will park fewer cars on -site
then they are allocated per unit.
C. The minor exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect
surrounding properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the
zone.
Surrounding properties will be protected by the attached Conditions of Approval that
require any Modifications or alterations to be re-evaluated by the Community
Development Department. The Minor Exception will allow for a reduction in the
parking requirement for the Project and does not permit a use that is not otherwise
allowed in the Old Town Specific Plan Area.
Section 3. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA18-1230, a Minor Exception to allow for a reduction
in the required parking for the project located approximately 130 feet north of the Main
Street and Pujol Street intersection, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on
Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
Planning Commission this 20th day of February, 2019.
