17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code;
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. The project is
consistent with all City Ordinances including: the City's General Plan, Specific Plan No. 263, and
Ordinance No. 96-24 (An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Temecula, California
approving a Development Agreement (Planning Application No. PA96-0333) between the City

B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety and welfare. The project as proposed complies with all City Ordinances and meets
the standards adopted by the City of Temecula designed for the protection of the public health,
safety and welfare.
C. The project has been the subject of extensive prior environmental review and no
additional environmental review is needed.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. The project site has been subject to extensive
environmental review. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and an Addendum to the EIR were
prepared and certified for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. Staff has conducted an
Initial Environmental Study (IES) for Planning Application No. PA97-0118 and determined that
the project was within the thresholds established in the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and that no further environmental analysis would be required
for the mall project. Since the footprint for the JC Penney Department Store was considered
under this previous analysis and since this current proposal is solely for the review and approval
for the elevations and landscape plan for the JC Penney Department Store, no further analysis is
required at this time.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula City Council hereby conditionally
approves Planning Application No. PA98-0046 (Development Plan) for the elevations and
landscape plan for a 126,328 square foot JC Penney Department Store located at the southeast
corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads, subject to the project specific conditions set forth on
Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
