NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF TItlE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.
by reference.
That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
Section 2. Findings. That the Temecula Planning Commission, in denying Planning
Application No. PA95-0079, hereby makes the following findings as required in Section 7.1 of County
Ordinance No. 460:
1. The proposed land division is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan
designation calls for Low Density Residential, 0.5 to 2 dwelling units per acre maximum. The
proposed four lot subdivision on 2.85 acres complies with this density designation.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed land division is inconsistent with the General
Plan. The site is identified as being within the Chaparral Area which requires special development
considerations and limits the encroachment of grading, construction or surface alteration into the
natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources in this area. The project is
inconsistent with the General Plan because careful siting of building pads, driveways, septic and
leach fields has not been accomplished; little contour grading has been designed; and a 130-foot
long crib wall in clear view from Pauba Road is proposed.
3. The site of the proposed land division is not physically suitable for the type of development.
The site has steep slopes along Pauba Road as well as in the interior of the property. Flat areas
are limited to proposed Parcels 4 and 2 where structures already exist. The site is not physically
suitable because the proposed development and access will require encroachment into the natural
slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources.

4. The site of the proposed land division is not physically suitable ~or the proposed density of
the development. Flat areas are limited to proposed Parcels 4 and 2 where structures already exist.
The site is not physically suitable because the proposed development and access will require
encroachment into the natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources
5. The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements are likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat. The design of the proposed land division requires encroachment into natural slopes and
grading of natural vegetation, for pad sites and access.
6. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements are likely to cause
serious public health problems. The Fire Department concerns regarding access for emergency
vehicles has not been adequately addressed. The proposed project may cause serious hazards
should there be inadequate access for emergency vehicles.
7. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the
proposed land division.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this second day of December, 1998.
