During that 30-month period of time, the city is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the general plan, if all of the following requirements are met: (1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of the general plan. (2) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and taking other actions, including the issuance of building permits, each of the following: A:CZ16 6 a) There is a reasonable probability that the land use or action proposed will be consistent with the general plan proposal being considered or studied or which will be studied within a reasonable time. b) There is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed use or action is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. c) The proposed use or action complied with other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as its General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of its General Plan. C. The Planning Commission in recommending approval of the proposed Change of Zone, makes the following findings, to wit: a) The proposed Change of Zone will not have significant negative impact on the environment, as determined in the Initial Study performed for the project. A Negative Declaration is recommended for adoption. b) There is a reasonable probability that this project will be consistent with the General Plan being prepared at this time, due to the fact that the project is compatible with the surrounding development, zoning, and SWAP. c) There is not a likely probability of substantial detriment to, or interference with, the future adopted General Plan, if the proposed use is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. The project is compatible with surrounding developments and improvements. A:CZ16 7 d) The site is physically suited for the proposed Change of Zone in that required infrastructure exists in the area including commercial roadways, drainage facilities, and main sewer and water lines. e) The proposed Change of Zone is consistent with the SWAP designation of Restricted Light Industrial and Mountainous. The proposed zoning provides a support area for the employment based developments recently approved. D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. SECTION 2. Environmental Compliance. The proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment and a Negative Declaration therefore is hereby recommended for adoption. SECTION 3. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby recommends approval of Change of Zone No. 5740 to change the zoning designation of the subject property from R-A-20 (Residential Agricultural) to I-P (Industrial Park) and R-5 (Open Area Combining Zone) on the property located on the westside of Ridgepark Drive and known as Assessor's Parcel Nos. 940-310-020 and 021.
