Mall, Mr. Washington expressed his and his family's deepest sympathy to Sheryl Brogden and
her children on the loss of her husband and their father.
B. Councilman Roberts commended Mr. Washington on publicly announcing that he had a
bad golf game.
Concurring with the comments made by the residents of Pina Colada, Councilman
Roberts noted that the problem is that Pina Colada is a wide street and it has no stop signs for a
long distance, viewing this street as a cut-through street and noting that the previously installed
speed bumps did not resolve the problem; and that, therefore, these bumps were removed. Mr.
Roberts requested that this matter be addressed by the Public Traffic Safety Commission.
C. Having recently traveled to Nakayama, Japan, Councilman Roberts commented on the
10-year Sister City relationship celebration and shared City-to-City gifts. By way of a video, Mr.
Roberts shared the unveiling ceremony, celebrating the 10th anniversary of our Sister City
relationship in Nakayama. Mr. Roberts commended Community Services Director Community
Services Director Parker, Maintenance Superintendent Harrington, and the Community Services
Department staff for their diligent efforts in completing the Japanese Garden, with special
recognition to Mr. Harrington on his design of the garden and the coordination of it. In closing,
Mr. Roberts distributed commemorative anniversary gifts to each Councilmember.
Echoing Councilman Roberts, City Manager Nelson as well commended Maintenance
Superintendent Harrington on his efforts and as well recognized Mr. Vince Dedonado who
volunteered his time to assist Mr. Harrington in the completion of the Japanese Garden.

attention, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero encouraged the public to visit the Duck Pond.

Mr. Stone commended Councilman Roberts for his vision of the Duck Pond property and
extended kudos to Councilman Washington for his efforts with the construction of the City's
theater.
In response to Ms. Christian's concerns with regard to Pina Colada, Mr. Stone noted that
he was under the impression that the cut-through problem was under control and appreciated
her input and encouraged the public to communicate with the City Council members regarding
any concerns.
Having attended a California Association of County Governments seminar, Councilman
Stone commented on this learning experience for incumbent supervisors and newly elected
supervisors to better acquaint themselves with their new job responsibilities, noting that there
are 257 supervisors in the State of California; that 50 of these 257 were newly elected

As an owner of property outside of the City but because he is negotiating an easement over his
property to accommodate the expansion of a Target Store, City Attorney Thorson advised that
Mayor Naggar will be abstaining from this matter.
Planning Director Ubnoske provided the staff report (as per agenda material), noting that
Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) uses census tracts as its means of calculating, based on
existing population, the allowable number of permits; that, in response to Councilman
Washington, noted that the boundary map drawn by ABC has no correlation to City zoning; that,
for Councilman Stone, advised that City staff used the same argument as far as convenience
and necessity in denying a neighboring business the opportunity to sell spirits as was used for
the Target Corporation; and that, for Councilman Roberts, Section 2 of the Findings was
answered by the applicant.
At this time, the public hearing was opened.
Ms. Sharon Bishop, representing Target Corporation, provided an overview of Target
Corporation's desire to sell premium wine in the Temecula Target Store; emphasized that
Target shares the City's concerns with regard to the sale of alcohol; that, therefore, training and
point-of-sale measures have been implemented to ensure the proper sale of wine; that currently
100 Target stores in California sell wine; and that Target Corporation has an interest in selling
wine in order to expand its market.
For Councilman Roberts, City Attorney Thorson confirmed that the Target Corporation is only
requesting the sale of wine.
At this time, the public hearing was closed.
Although having no problem with Target Corporation selling wine, Councilman Stone stated that
the City must be consistent in its approval/denial process for all businesses. Having, in the
past, entertained an alcohol license for spirits, Mr. Stone advised that the City has denied such
a license to a business owner who owns a couple of convenience stores. Mr. Stone reiterated
the need for the City to be consistent with its decisions regarding this matter and, therefore,
concurred with the Planning Commission to deny the Target Corporation the ability to sell wine.
Not having been on the Council when that prior denial of an alcohol license was considered, as
mention by Councilman Stone, Councilman Washington relayed his opposition to the arbitrary
nature of the boundaries set by ABC and its basis on population; that the sale of wine at Target
would be a public conyenience; that the request would not be to consume wine on the premises;
that living in wine country, this would be an opportunity to promote premium wines at Target;
that although he concurred with Mr. Stone with respect to inconsistency on the decision-making
process, Mr. Washington stated that the Target Corporation should not be penalized for this
action and, therefore, spoke in support of establishing a consistent policy.
Considering the number of Type 20 alcohol licenses (12) in the surrounding neighborhood and
considering only five should have been approved, Councilman Roberts expressed his
opposition to the sale of wine at Target. Having previously voted against an upgrade to sell
hard spirits for a neighboring business, Mr. Roberts reiterated his opposition.
Making the general acknowledgement that the system by which the City approves and allocates
liquor license should be addressed, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero noted that the City is in the
process of overhauling that system; however, at this point, other businesses within the City have
R:\Minutes\112304

I
I
had to adhere to this standard. Mr. Comerchero echoed the comments made with regard to
consistency and to treat all business owners the same.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero, City Attorney Thorson advised that with regard to
this matter, the City is operating under the City's Conditional Use Permit which may be
amended and the State law which requires the City to address the findings of necessity and
convenience in the census tract and that if the applicant were denied at this time, the applicant
may reapply at a future date.
In response to Councilman Washington, Councilman Stone commented on the City's reasoning
for exceeding the allowable licenses, noting that these licenses were primarily for larger retailers
(grocery stores and department stores); that he would prefer the findings for convenience and
necessity be completely eliminated; and that the City must apply these decisions on a
consistent basis whether for a larger retail business or a small business.
If the request before the Council were denied, Deputy City Manager Thornhill suggested that it
be denied without prejudice, giving the applicant the ability to reapply within a 12-month period
in the event the City were to resolve this issue within the near future.
MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to deny the appeal without prejudice for a 12-month period
and to uphold the Planning Commission's decision. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Roberts. The electronic vote reflected approval with the exception of Mayor Naggar who
abstained and Councilman Washington who voted in opposition.
While staff will be addressing this issue, Councilman Stone suggested that there should be a
distinction between the two different types of licenses.
By denying this appeal without prejudice, City Attorney Thorson advised that the applicant will
not have to wait one year to readdress this matter and that the applicant will not have to
resubmit fees.

Planning Director Ubnoske reYiewed the staff report (as per agenda material), noting that there
will be a right in and right out exit on Winchester Road.
For Councilman Roberts, Public Works Director Hughes advised that a bus turnout has been
proposed but that no deceleration/acceleration lane has been proposed or required. Mr.
Roberts expressed concern with no deceleration/acceleration lane and requested that it be
imposed as a condition.
Concurring with the suggestion of a deceleration/acceleration lane, Councilman Stone
suggested that some of the landscaped area on Winchester Road be utilized as a
deceleration/acceleration lane. Public Works Director Hughes noted that based on the
Council's comments, the matter could be reviewed in more detail during the design process of
the construction drawings, advising that the additional landscaped area is part of the 25'
transportation corridor.
While reviewing the possibility of a deceleration/acceleration lane, Councilman Washington
requested that staff provide information as to the determination of when such a lane is
necessary and when it's not.
In response to Councilman Washington's comments regarding the architectural review of this
project by the Planning Commission, Planning Director Ubnoske noted that the LA. Fitness
structure was a concern as to its different appearance from the rest of the center, requesting the
incorporation of tower elements and that with regard to the Rite-Aid structure, concern was
expressed with regard to its proximity to the street but that no concern was expressed with its
appearance or the appearance of the rear elevation of all buildings.
Councilman Roberts reiterated his reasoning for the need for a deceleration/acceleration lane.
City Manager Nelson ensured the City Council that if it were the wish of the Council, a condition
of approval could be imposed, requiring the installation of a deceleration/acceleration lane.
For Mayor Naggar, Public Works Director Hughes advised that the Roripaugh Ranch Specific
Plan does require the developer to provide extensive improvements at Nicolas and Winchester
Roads; that the proposed project will be dedicating the additional right-of-way necessary for
Roripaugh Ranch to make these improvements; that the proposed project as well has been
conditioned to complete improvements at the intersection to mitigate the project's impacts on
R:\Minutes\112304

the intersection; and that it would be expected that the improvements from both projects (the
proposed and Roripaugh Ranch) will be completed in unison.
For Mayor Naggar, Planning Director Ubnoske noted that the land use to the south of the
proposed project is a mini-storage facility and that the land use to the east of the proposed
project is residential (County).
At this time, the public hearing was opened.
Requesting the City Council's support of the proposal, Mr. Matthew Fagan, representing Pacific
Development Partners, Temecula, noted that the applicant has diligently worked with staff over
several years and the Planning Commission, advising that the Commission unanimously
approved the project; stated that the applicant is in support of the conditions of approval; that
although LA. Fitness expressed flexibility of incorporating its appearance into the center, LA.
Fitness has requested the retention of the rotunda feature; and that with regard to the
deceleration/acceleration lane, the applicant would be open to exploring any option for the
betterment of the project and the community.
There being no additional requests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Viewing the proposed uses compatible with the community's needs, Mayor Pro Tem
Comerchero expressed his support of the project. With regard to the architectural design of the
project, Mr. Comerchero was of the opinion that those discussions should be held at the
Planning Commission leyel and that Council discussion should be confined to the issue of the
General Plan Amendment and its associated issues. Mr. Comerchero expressed concurrence
with the installation of a deceleration/acceleration lane.
Reiterating his support of the deceleration/acceleration lane, Councilman Roberts voiced no
concern with the proposed project.
Viewing the proposed plan as one that will meet the needs of the community, Councilman Stone
commented on the sales tax revenue for the City, future jobs, and the positive impacts on
lessening traffic; supported the architectural details; and expressed his support of the project.
MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to adopt Resolution Nos. 04-118 and 04-119 with the
addition of a condition of approval, requiring the installation of a deceleration/acceleration lane.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Roberts. (After additional Council discussion,
this motion ultimately passed; see page 12.)
Because appropriate and mitigating measures have been implemented to address traffic
concerns, Councilman Washington stated that he would not view this center as creating
additional traffic; concurred with the installation of a deceleration/acceleration lane; and as well
concurred with Mr. Comerchero's comments pertaining to architectural review occurring at the
Planning Commission level; and, therefore, spoke in support of this project.
At this time, the previously made motion, by electronic vote, reflected unanimous approval.
At this time, City Attorney Thorson introduced Ordinance No. 04-15.
MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to introduce Ordinance No. 04-15. The motion was
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero and electronic vote reflected unanimous approval.
