a Modification to a Development Plan, in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General
Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on December 7, 2022, at a duly 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 or in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA22-0293,
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Modification to the Development Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Modification, Development Code Section 17.05.010.F
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with
all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
Automobile dealerships, as conditioned, are an allowable use within the Service
Commercial zone. Therefore, the use will be consistent with the General Plan for Temecula
as well as the requirements for State law and other Ordinances of the City.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation and
other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to protect the health
and safety of those working and living in an around the site as the project is consistent with
the General Plan, City Wide Design Guidelines, and Development Code. The project has
been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all applicable
policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development
will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and
welfare.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Development Plan:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15332,
In -Fill Development Projects);
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general
plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation because automobile
dealerships are an allowable use within the Service Commercial district. The project also meets
all applicable General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The project is located within City limits and is located on a developed site containing an
automobile dealership that is less than five acres. The proposed project is substantially
surrounded by commercial development, residential development, and major roadways.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The project site is not located within a Multi Species Habitation Conservation Strategy (MSHCP)
criteria cell and therefore is not required by the Regional Conservation Authority and State and
Federal agencies to take place in the Joint Project Review process. Therefore, the project site has
no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality.
The proposed project was required to prepare a Project -Specific Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) that was reviewed and conceptually accepted for entitlement by City Staff as the WQMP
meets the requirements of the City of Temecula. A traffic analysis was not required as part of this
project as the proposed use is allowed within the Service Commercial zoning district, and there is
nothing unique about this project that would trigger the need for a traffic analysis. Therefore, the
project is not anticipated to result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality as the project is an allowed use per the City of Temecula General Plan and the
zoning district.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site is surrounded by development and is able to be serviced by all required utilities
and public services.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA22-0293, Modification to a previously approved Development Plan
(PA99-0378) for the addition of approximately 3,824 square feet to the vehicle showroom and
service area of an existing automobile dealership, a new approximately 674 square foot vehicle
delivery canopy area, elevation revisions to adhere to new corporate colors, and a new vehicle
display pad at the entry driveway located at 27430 Ynez Road, and makes a finding of exemption
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), subject to the Conditions of Approval
set forth on Exhibit A and Plans set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto, and incorporated herein
by this reference.

Section 22511.8 of the California Vehicle Code.
90. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
that "the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery
or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition
can serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional
zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public
to private space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations
where there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe
locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the
location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e.
Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural
surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel
safer. f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may
conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for example) by
distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of
space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause
abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. In. Redesign space to
increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be aware of the risk
of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines -of -sight serve to provide
such a perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be
accomplished through improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
91. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
