He stated Councilmember Gary Smith, was not able to be present this evening.

Christina Grina, 30305 Via Norte, presented the City Council with a copy of her senior thesis for California Polytechnic Institute, which dealt with Old Town Temecula Redevelopment, and stated copies would be available for purchase at Kinkos. Edward Doran, 39985 Stamos, asked the Council three questions; one, since Proposition 140, removing the State Legislature from a private pension program was passed at the last election, would the City Council reconsider it's decision regarding "PERS"; two, if $405,000 in tenant improvements is necessary for a building which is rented; and three, since development is Temecula's primary "industry", and developer fees may decrease due to the recent slow down of development, should the City readjust the budget? City Manager Dixon responded that Social Security is not a retirement plan, "PERS" is, and the City participates in Social Security as it relates to Medicare. He said the $405,000 in tenant improvements is to basically turn a warehouse into usable office space. He explained that this $405,000 is not a direct expense, but is built into the lease. In answer to the reduction in development, City Manager Dixon stated Temecula is not a one industry town.

Zone Change 5611, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 25004 Gary Thomhill, Acting Planning Director, stated this is a request for approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 25004, to subdivide approximately 59 acres into 135 single family lots. He said accompanying this application is a zone change request from Rural Residential to Single Family Residential. He reported the Planning Commission approved this item on October 15, 1990, on a three to one vote. He said their concerns related to the compatibility of this project to surrounding residential developments, the slope concerns and the Water District Easement through the property. He stated these concerns were resolved to the Planning Commission's satisfaction. Councilmember Mufioz asked about the property which contains a Metropolitan Water District easement. Mr. Thornhill explained the property in question is owned by the applicant but the Water District has an easement; He sited previous applications where the City has acquired similar property. He explained this property could be used as part of a City-wide Trail System. #inutes 11/13/90 5 Councilmember Mufioz asked if this property would be improved. Mr. Thornhill answered that staff would prefer to utilize the Quimby Fees at a more usable site and obtain this land unimproved. Mayor Parks opened the public hearing at 8:00 PM. Gary Kuontz, CM Engineering Associates, representing the applicant, stated that he agrees with all conditions as submitted, but would like to discuss Item No. 24, which relates to the Quimby Act Fees, and Item No. 21-I, which relates to dedication of lots for open space. Mr. Kuontz stated the applicant has no problem dedicating the easement and adjacent properties but since ! 8 acres is being dedicated he requested an appraisal of this land be done for consideration in the establishment of the fees. He stated Condition No. 29, states that prior to occupancy, Lot 141 shall be conveyed to the homeowners association. He explained this property is a slope easement for the access road along the southern property line. He stated the applicant has discussed with CSA maintenance of this slope, and they have agreed in concept. He asked, therefore that wording be added "or landscape maintenance district" to Condition No. 29. Councilmember Mufioz asked for staff's response on having the land appraised. Gary Thomhill stated that staff feels that the applicant should not receive credit for this property for several reasons; one, that the applicant is obtaining a rezoning of the property which grants higher density; and second, the value of the land is considered in terms of its development potential. Shawn Nelson, Director of Community Services, stated the City is in great need of developed, active recreation areas. He said this project will generate 350 new residents, and he supports Planning staff's recommendation that areas be set aside for recreation opportunities. City Manager Dixon stated that recently Bedford offered an easement much like the one in question to the City, with no Quimby credit being received, and suggested that all easement property should be handled in the same manner. Councilmember Birdsall asked if there is any problem with CSA maintaining Lot 141. City Manager Dixon stated he felt the City should have the option; To designate the homeowners association or the TCSD. Mayor Parks closed the public hearing at 7:50 PM. It was moved by Councilmember Mufioz to approve staff recommendations with the addition to the conditions of approval No. 29, to add the wording "or offer for dedication to the TCSD". Hinutes 11/13/90 6 Mr. Thomhill stated the City Attorney would like to add a condition that prior to issuing occupancy permits, the CC & R's be approved by the City Attorney to ensure that Lot #141 is properly maintained. In order to give the applicant an opportunity to respond to a new condition, Mayor Parks reopened the public heating at 8:10 PM. Mr. Kuontz, asked if a homeowners association is not established, what action would be taken. City Attorney Field answered that a "dormant homeowners association" would be established. Mr. Kuontz stated he understood this condition and did not have a problem with it. Mayor Parks closed the public hearing at 8:11 PM. Councilmember Mufioz amended his motion, Councilmember Birdsall seconded to approve staff recommendations with the addition to the conditions of approval No. 29 to add the wording "or offer for dedication to the TCSD, subject to City Attorney Approval of the CC&R's to ensure Lot #141 is properly maintained as follows: 14.1 Adopt Negative Declaration. 14.2 Read by title only and introduce an ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 90-22 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TFAVIECULA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF SAID CITY IN THE CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION CONTAINED IN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 5611, CHANGING THE ZONE FROM R-R (RURAL RESIDENTIAL) TO R-1 (SINGLE FAMH~Y RESIDENTIAL) ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SERAPHINA ROAD AND RITA WAY 14.3 Adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 90-109 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 25004 TO SUBDIVIDE A 59 ACRE PARCEL INTO A 135 UNIT SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SERAPHINA ROAD AND RITA WAY The motion was carried by the following vote: #inures 11/13/90 7 AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Birdsall, Lindemarts, Moore, Mufioz, Parks NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None Mayor Parks called a recess at 8:15 PM.

Adnlt Rusiness Ordinance Gary Thornhill, Planning Director, reported that on October 9, 1990, a 45-day Interim Ordinance was adopted regulating adult businesses in the City of Temecula. He asked that this ordinance be extended for another 10 month and 15 day period, pursuant to the Government Codes. He stated the reason for this ordinance is to give the City Council significantly more control over the development of these types of businesses, restricting them to one zone district and requiring a Conditional Use Permit for any application, which has not been possible under the existing County ordinance. Mayor Parks asked if this was originally adopted as an urgency ordinance. City Attorney Field said the revised ordinance clarifies this issue. He stated the first 45- day ordinance will expire on November 23, 1990, and because of this expiration, the ordinance before the Council tonight is also an urgency ordinance, extending the original ordinance for 10 1/2 months. He said this ordinance would allow for the development of a permanent ordinance which would include a Sheriff's Licensing Provision, whereby these types of businesses could be closely monitored. Councilmember Lindemans asked if any other California Cities have been successful in banning these types of business. City Manager Dixon stated staff will explore every avenue to address both the legal and moral concerns of the citizens. Mayor Parks opened the public hearing at 8:45 PM. The following citizens spoke in favor of adoption of Ordinance No. 90-23. Anita Washington, 30456 Spica Court Carl Heimple, 37780 Villa Balboa Drive Wayne P. Wilbur, 37349 Avenida Chapala David L.

Used Oil Recyclint, City Attorney Field reported this ordinance was prepared pursuant to previous Council direction. He explained under the current law, the California Waste Management Board has prescribed guidelines requiring that there be an "800" number on all new oil containers for a local recycling facility, and that retailers post signs notifying the consumer of one or more conveniently located collection facilities. Mr. Field stated, however, there are no such facilities located in the City of Temecula, the closest being Corona and Escondido. He explained the ordinance mandates that oil retailers comply with the current guidelines and work together to establish at least one local collection facility. He explained the ordinance would not go into effect immediately, but allows time for the City Manager to meet with local retailers in the community to encourage them to develop a collection facility. Mr. Field stated the Council could direct the City Manager to work together with the local retailers to accomplish the same objective. He also stated that a local franchise for waste management would probably include a provision for used oil collection. Councilmember Lindemans asked City Manager Dixon if this plan is feasible. Mr. Dixon stated he would contact the lube and oil change shops in an effort to bring them together. He said the City would look at the recycling program for at least twice a year and possible each quarter. Councilmember Birdsall suggested having the City Manager contact the local merchants and solicit their cooperation before an ordinance is adopted. She also stated that the City should not only address used oil, but also anti-freeze which also presents a problem. #inutes 11/13/90 II 18. Councilmember Mufioz stated it has been nearly six months since this issue was first heard, and that the Council should take responsibility for what is in the best interest for the community, and take steps to resolve this problem. Councilmember Moore said she is concerned this is only a small part of a much larger problem and the City needs a total waste management solution. She said used oil recycling should be part of the RFP for the waste management franchise. Mayor Parks suggested continuing this item for 30 days to give the City Manager an opportunity to contact people involved. It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Moore to continue this item to the meeting of December 11, 1990 to allow the City Manager the opportunity to gather additional information, and contact concerned parties. The motion was carried by the following vote: AYES: 5 C OUNCILMEMBERS: Birdsall, Lindemans, Moore, Mufioz, Parks NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None Conditional Use Permit 3046- Arco Mini-Mart Gary Thomhill, Planning Director, reported Arco is requesting an addition of a pump island with four pumps and a canopy that extends approximately 18 feet. Mr. Thomhill advised Council approved a rezoning previously and stated the Conditional Use Permit was continued at the request of the applicant to work out a few minor issues with adjoining property. The problems existed due to trash and debris coming over on their property. To resolve this problem, it was agreed that a vinyl coated chain link fence and an additional trash container would be required. He reported additional landscaping is also proposed along the fence area and there is a proposal to extend the driveway opening 10- 12 feet to assist in the stacking of vehicles. Mr. Thornhill stated that Condition 2 which requires biannual review, which is not appropriate for this type of use should be deleted. Mr. Thornhill recommended approval of CUP 3046, subject to the attached conditions, the deletion of Condition No. 2 and the addition of a condition that reads; prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit a landscape plan for Director's approval showing enhanced landscaping, additional trash containers and a black vinyl coated chain link fence between the site and the adjoining property. Hinutes 11/13/90 12 19. Mayor Parks called a one minute break to change the tape at 10:40 PM. The meeting was reconvened at 10:41 PM. Larry Markham, 4175 Winchester, representing the applicant stated that concerns with adjoining property owners have been worked out. He stated that the landscaping plans will be submitted to adjoining owners prior to submittal to the Planning Director. He stated the applicant's only requested change is that the fence be either black or green. Mr. Markhamm said the applicant has agreed to landscape on both sides of the fence. Mayor Parks asked that the applicant consider the first flush problems at this site and developing a mechanism to collect drainage at the driveway. Mr. Markham said the applicant would look into this. It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Mufioz to approve staff recommendations with additions and deletions to the conditions of approval recommended as follows: delete Planning Department Condition No. 2, add a Planning Department Condition No. 9 to require landscape plans, additional trash enclosure and plans for installation of vinyl coated chain link fence between the site and the adjoining property, and add an engineering condition to widen the driveway at Jefferson by 10 to 12 feet; and adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 90-111 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3046 TO PERMIT OPERATION OF AN EXISTING GAS STATION AND MINI-MART AT JEFFERSON AVENUE AND WINCHESTER ROAD The motion was carded by the following vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: NOES: 0 C OUNCILMEMBERS: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: City Hall Lease A~reement Birdsall, Lindemans, Moore, Mufioz, Parks None None City Manager Dixon stated the lease agreement is now complete for Buildings C and D of Windsor Park I.

Councilmember Lindemans asked if these Tenant Improvements could be taken when the City moves. City Manager Dixon explained these improvements would be things such as lights, heating, ceilings, restrooms, etc. which cannot be moved. Councilmember Mufioz asked if staff would be looking for sites to purchase, or whether it would lease for the entire 3-year period. City Manager Dixon answered that sometime in the Spring staff would actively begin looking for a permanent site for City Hall. Mayor Parks asked if the City were to stay at the present location beyond the 3-year lease period, can it be extended. City Manager Dixon stated every effort would be made not to stay beyond the 3-year period, however two one year extensions are included. It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Mufioz to: 19.1 Authorize the Mayor to execute the lease for City Hall located at 43172 Business Park Drive. 19.2 Authorize the City Manager to approve a Tenant Improvement Budget, not to exceed $405,000.

The motion was unanimously approved. 21. Traffic Si_~nals - Target Shopping Center City Manager Dixon reported over the past several months, staff has been aware of problems with left-turn movements out of the Target Shopping Center on Rancho California Road. He said a meeting was held with Mayor Pro Tem Lindemans, himself and a representative from I_and Grant Development, and a proposal was made that Land Grant share in the cost of a signal on Ynez with the developer on the West side of the street, and that Land Grant pay for half the cost of the signal on Rancho California Road and the City Manager would approach the Council to share in that cost. City Manager Dixon said it was hoped to have a response from Land Grant, but it has not been received and requested this be continued to the meeting of November 27, 1990. Councilmember Moore asked if this would include the closure of some of the entrances into the center. City Manager Dixon stated this will need to be looked at, but that left-turn lanes where there is no light would be restricted. Howard Gerelick, representing Land Grant, stated a number of other property owners involved with this center are being contacted to solicit their cooperation, (Target, Albertsons, Mobile). He stated that the closure of medians would not be favorably received by Mobile and Albertsons, and should not be tied to the request for signalization. He suggested separating the issue and proceed first with the signalization. Mr. Gerelick stated that at the time the center was developed, County regulations were in effect. Due to contributions for traffic mitigation fees imposed by the County, Land Grant feels that these signals have already been paid for once. He said, however, that in the spirit of cooperation, they are willing to re-exam the issue. He said a resolution should be reached by the next meeting. Councilmember Mufioz asked for clarification about what traffic mitigation fees go toward. City Manager Dixon said he has had the opportunity to work with centers developed under the guidance of the County and almost without exception, the signal #inutes 11/13/90 15 mitigation fee is a pooled fund for signals that could be adjacent, but more often are used as needed in the area. He stated when a specific plan has been approved by the City, the City normally extracts a signal mitigation fee for the overall good, and then require at specific driveways full signalization with no cost sharing. Councilmember Lindemarts stated he would like to get these needed signals in as quickly as possible, and is in favor of this proposal. Mayor Parks took a straw vote to indicate support of a joint public and private venture as outlined. All Councilmembers were unanimously in favor. 22. Holiday Dinner - Volunteer Committees and Comm[qsionq Councilmember Lindemans asked that the City Commissioners be invited to a Christmas Dinner with the Council. He said these people need to feel the support of the Council, and deserve recognition. Councilmember Moore said she is in total agreement with recognizing the commissioners and major committees, however she said she would rather honor them at another time of the year. Mayor Parks stated he would like to first see joint meetings with the Commissioners to set guidelines and let them do their job before they are honored. CITY MANAGER REPORTS City Manager Dixon said the City will be initiating a Public Heating sign program. Parcels involved in public hearings will have a 16 square foot sign placed on the of property. He said a 4 by 4 foot sign, bright yellow with black lettering, will be used for posting the Public Hearing notices. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT8 City Attorney Field stated that he has heard the direction of the Council and the wishes of the citizens and he will have a "Blinder Rack" ordinance prepared at the next City Council meeting. #inutes 11/13/90 16 CITY COUNCIL REPORT~ Councilmember Mufioz requested that the "No lJ-Tum" signs at Rancho California Road and Front Street be reevaluated. He also requested staff to arrange to meet with developer David Lowrey to discuss a possible Mello Roos CFD for road improvements on Solana Way. Councilmember Birdsall requested staff research what is being planned by the Kiwanis Club for the City's first birthday party. Councilmember Lindemans requested the matter of the City's charges for various development fees be discussed at the next meeting. He also requested that the City Manager contact Bedford Properties to obtain a copy of the lxaffic model they have had prepared for the City of Temecula. Mayor Parks requested that staff schedule joint meetings with the various commissions, starting with the Planning Commission, as soon as possible.
