That a total of four drive-through businesses are proposed; that staff is of the opinion that the drive-through facilities nearest Winchester Road should be further screened; that while the applicant has provided berming with landscaping, staff is of the opinion that the drive-through windows should include a covered structure over the window to appear as a structural component of the buildings; and that in addition, landscape berming should meander and be at a height that adequately screens the drive-through lanes and parking and that staff has included a Condition of Approval (No. 34) requiring a structural component over the drive-through window for pads K and L .

For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Long responded that staff has not addressed in detail, the rears of shops D east elevation, Major E east/south elevation, and Major B, west elevation. Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that it is his opinion that the Planning Commission has clearly expressed, on more than one occasion, the concerns of man-doors in rears of buildings. Commissioner Chiniaeff also relayed that because the proposed project is on a major intersection of the community, he is of the opinion that a drug-store should not be a major entry into the center. Commissioner Chiniaeff also expressed concern with the color scheme of the L.A. Fitness and queried if the applicant would be willing to work with staff to find architecture/colors that would blend better with the surrounding buildings. Mr. Long relayed that he will defer Commissioner Chiniaeff's concerns regarding architecture and color scheme to the applicant, Mr. Mark Burger. Commissioner Chiniaeff also expressed concern with the proposed round-about; advising that it is his opinion that the round-about would not serve its purpose due to its small size, noting that it could cause confusion for drivers and would rather see a round design on the asphalt. For Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Long relayed that the request to amend the Land Use Designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Community Commercial was discussed with and supported by the General Plan Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). For Commissioner Mathewson, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that due to the fact that Winchester Road is a major Road and due to the size of the parcel being 20 acres, it was the opinion of the CAC that it would be more appropriate for that particular area to be Community Commercial versus Neighborhood Commercial. R:\MinutesPC\ 102004 6 ). For Chairman Telesio, Mr. Long noted that the proposed design for the L.A. Fitness is i!s prototype. At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.

That the applicant has been working with staff for over two years and understands that the proposed project would be at a major intersection of the community . That the applicant has explored the different ways in which to make the site work; noting that there are certain things that are fixed on the site such as the three-driveways which create challenges . That after exploring the possible uses for the site, it was determined that Community Commercial would be most appropriate on this site . That the applicant focused on obtaining tenants that are currently not in Temecula and that would be a benefit and complementary to what is currently established in the community . That in terms of a tenant lease, Rite Aid, L.A. Fitness, Henry's Market Place, are all signed leases and would be considered a major tenant . That Beverages and More will be a major tenant as well . That there will also be a Navy Federal Credit Union on Pad J . That all the above mentioned tenants will be an excellent tenant mix and one that currently does not exist in the City today .

R:\MinutesPC\ 102004 7 For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Burger noted that he would be happy to add some type of landscaping behind Henry's Market Place to help break up the massing. Commissioner Chiniaeff suggested that the applicant relocate the exterior man-ladders where it would be less visible to the public such as between Major B and Building C. For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Burger noted that as long as it is not a problem with the Fire Department, he would be happy to relocate the exterior man-doors. For Commissioner Chiniaeff and Commissioner Olhasso, Mr. Burger relayed that he will explore the possibility of softening the corner of Winchester Road and Nicolas Road (Rite-Aid) by pulling the landscaping toward the building. Mr. Burger relayed that the proposed drug-store (Rite-Aid), will be a convenient drug-store to a fairly significant senior population in the area. For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Burger noted that he would also be,willing to screen the drive- throughs with some type of landscaped wall. Commissioner Chiniaeff reiterated his concern with the round-about. Mr. Burger responded that the round-about was the suggestion of staff and removing it or enlarging it at this time, would cause a significant impact on the center; but that if is the will of the Commission, the applicant would be willing to install a special surface treatment around it. For Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Burger relayed that he does not have the percentages of sales for the drug-store drive-through. Mr. Burger also relayed that he understands his desire for a life-style entertainment center, but that because the project site is on a highway oriented site, this site would not be ideal for that type of center. Mr. Burger reiterated that in February 2005, it will have been five (5) years that the applicant has been working on this project and it is his opinion that he has come up with the best possible architectural design for the proposed site; advising that he is aware that the proposed site is on a very strategic location. He also noted that he will be happy to add landscaping to help screen the rears of the above mentioned elevations. Commissioner Mathewson noted his appreciation for the proposed project and queried on the drive-through at the drug-store. Mr. Burger relayed that the drive-through for the drug-store would not be a huge traffic generator but could possibly be a big sales generator and that it is the intent for all drug-stores to have drive-throughs. Commissioner Olhasso commented on the hard surfaces and lack of landscaping on Pad F, and queried if the applicant could soften this area. R:\MinutesPCI 102004 8 In response to Commissioner Olhasso, Mr. Zaich, representing L.A. Fitness responded that he would be willing to work with staff to articulate the building further with architectural elements and add landscaping features that could soften the face of the building as well as add landscaping. Mr. Vincent Didonado, landscape architect representing the applicant, offered the following comments: . That he is willing to add landscaping and articulation to soften the wall on the southside of Pad F For Commissioner Olhasso, Ms. Ubnoske added that a condition could be incorporated that states that more landscaping be added in front of Pad M. Mr. Long clarified that there is a condition that currently states that the applicant will need to return for a separate development plan subject to administrative approval which will blend with the overall center. Mr. Peruzzi, architect representing the applicant, offered the following comments: . That most drug-stores demand 2 to 4 rows, 60 cars parking in their front entry . That the drug-store building has migrated closer to the corner; that the orientation to the entryway is toward the corner to create the pedestrian crossway and a corner feature element . That the applicant could add more architectural elements and change the hardscape from asphalt to a stamped concrete' feature. Commissioner Olhasso responded that she concurs with Mr. Peruzzi's above mentioned comments. Commissioner Guerriero relayed that the proposed site is the last significant corner and would like to see something that brings Wine Country into the architecture and also some trellis work; and that he is of the opinion that there are lots of avenues that can be explored to add enhancements, other than just a wall, trees, and flowers. For Commissioner Guerriero responded that his comments are well taken and he would be willing to add a trellis which'will enhance the corner area and that the design of the sign could be modified. Mr. Burger relayed that the fountain feature will create a gathering point in the middle of the center. At this time, the Planning Commission convened for a five minute break.

Commissioner Mathewson expressed concern with drive-throughs for Pads K and L and noted that he would prefer to have restaurants without drive-throughs. For the Commission, Mr. Burger responded that he has worked hard to attract the most unique tenant mix and that the applicant is of the opinion that he has done a great job in achieving that. Mr. Burger also ensured the Commission that he will be notifying the tenants that they are to use architectural elements that will blend in with the overall center and reiterate the architectural standards that they must uphold. Mr. Fagan, representing the applicant ensured the Commission that the applicant's intent would be to create a high quality center that meets the architectural standards that the Commission upholds, and respectfully requests approval of the proposed project.
