E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does
hereby find, determine and declare that:
The Planning Commission, in recommending adoption of the proposed Ordinance, hereby makes
the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General
Plan")of the Temecula Municipal Code:
1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as
shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan.
Except for the amendments pertaining to the Open Space-Conservation (OS-C) Zoning
designation,none of the proposed Code Amendments change the types of uses allowed in
City. The Code Amendments remove riding stables and shooting galleries as
conditionally permitted uses the OS-C zoning designation. These uses are inconsistent
with the Open Space land use designation and are being removed to correct an
inconsistency within the code. All other proposed amendments are operational
clarifications and typographical edits and do not propose any land use changes contrary
to the adopted General Plan.
2. The proposed uses are in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines
of the elements of the general plan.
The proposed changes to Title 17 conform with the goals, policies, programs and
guidelines of the elements of the General Plan. The proposed changes modify the time
the Office of Administrative Hearing has to render a decision on massage appeal is
consistent with Goal 2 of the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element of the
Temecula General Plan, which is to ensure "Orderly, and efficient patterns of growth that
enhance quality of life for Temecula residents." Implementing an Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) addressing policy furthers Goal 4 of the Public Safety Element of the
General Plan which states, "An effective response of emergency services following a
disaster." Adopting development standards for external staircases, security bars,
storage/shipping containers and grid scale energy storage facilities furthers Goal 6 of the
Land Use Element of the General Plan which is to ensure, "A development pattern that
preserves aesthetics and enhances the environmental resources of the Planning Area."
The definition modifications further clarify what use constitutes a "Specialty Market,"
and "Health and Exercise Club" in furtherance of Goal 5 of the Land Use Element of the
General Plan which states, "A land use pattern that protects and enhances residential
neighborhoods." The remaining proposed amendments to the Temecula Municipal Code
are minor clarifications and a correction of typographical edits and do not result in an
inconsistency between the Temecula Municipal Code and the adopted General Plan.
3. The proposed uses are to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent
with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein.
The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code do not propose
any land use that is inconsistent with the Temecula General Plan. The majority of the
Code Amendments do not create or allow new uses where they were not previously
allowed. Only the revisions to the Open Space-Conservation (OS-C) Zoning district
impact the use of land. The Code Amendments remove riding stables and shooting
galleries as permitted uses in the OS-C zoning designation. These uses are inconsistent
with the types of uses permitted in the OS-C Zoning district and are being removed to
correct an inconsistency within the code.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 2023- is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The
Code Amendments impose regulations on existing uses, but do not increase the intensity or
density of any land use or allow any development where it was not otherwise permitted. The
Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula
adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance.
Section 4. Recommendation. The City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
recommends the City Council approve Planning Application No. LR23-0180, a proposed
Citywide Ordinance as set forth on Exhibit"A", attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning
