PUBLIC FORUM
Jerry Allen, Mayor of new City of Murrieta introduced three of the newly elected
Councilmembers, Dave Haas, Joe Perry, Fred Weishaupe. He stated Councilmember Gary
Smith, was not able to be present this evening.
James Marpie, 28541 Via Princessa, Murrieta, representing CRWM (Citizens for Responsible
Watershed Management), asked the City Council to update the ordinance dealing with urban
runoff, to avoid expensive improvements at a later date.
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. He reported there
are many fine industries in the City who generate taxable sales, property tax, etc.
#inutes 11/13/90 2

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:

15. 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.

17. 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.

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.

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.

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:

Councilmember Lindemans asked if these Tenant Improvements could be taken when the

Councilmember Mufioz asked if staff would be looking for sites to purchase, or whether

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.

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
