PUBLIC HEARINGS 16Plannina Application No. PA96-0107 (General Plan Amendment) and Plannina Application No. PA96-0106 (Zonina Amendment, Specific Plan - Paloma del Sol) Community Development Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report. Councilmember Stone asked about the motivation for reducing the commercial area from 31 to 21 acres. Mr. Thornhill answered the developer concluded there was an excess of commercial in the project area since most of the property along Hwy 79S has a commercial designation. He stated clustering the commercial area at Margarita Road and Hwy 79S is more beneficial than stripping it down Hwy 79S. Mayor Lindemans opened the public hearing at 7:43 PM. Barry Burnell, 3242 Halladay Street, Suite 100, Santa Ana, representing the applicant Newland Associates, clarified they have reduced the commercial area by ten (10) acres. He stated the remaining commercial areas will meet future needs. Kenneth Ray, 31647 Pio Pico Road, Temecula, representing the Santiago Ranchos Association, stated they are in opposition to the shopping center based on the increase in traffic, the high-density residential area's negative impact on Sparkman Elementary School, and the loss of commercial area which equates to less jobs in Temecula and more commuters. He urged the Council to find a new EIR is required due to new traffic concentration and pattern. Kirk Carlson, 30230 DePortola Road, Temecula, said a tremendous amount of traffic goes through the Los Ranchitos area and he is concerned the proposed high density residential area will generate even more traffic for an area with no sidewalks. Mr. Burnell stated retail commercial is the highest generator of traffic and the commercial area at this site has been reduced. He said the school district reviewed the revised plans and found no problems with the design. Mayor Lindemans closed the public hearing at 8:00 PM. Councilmember Stone expressed his concerns about decreasing commercial property as the City is dependent on sales tax revenues to maintain the high level of police and fire services; and the overcrowding of Sparkman Elementary. 6 City Council Minutes December 10, lUl Councilmember Ford remarked he would also like to keep the 31-acre commercial area in tact as it lessens the impact to the Rancho California Road/Ynez Road traffic, and to decrease the overall density. He stated DePortola is to be improved to be a four-lane arterial, but will continue to carry traffic until Hwy 79S is built. It was moved by Councilmember Stone and seconded by Councilmember Ford to refer the matter back to staff for reconsideration of restoring the 31 acre commercial site, decrease the density wherever possible, and to continue the matter off calendar. The motion was unanimously carried with Councilmembers Birdsall and Roberts absent. 1 7Ordinance Amendinci Title 15, of the Temecula Municipal Code for Shutoff Valves and Electrical Vehicle Charaina System Equipment Chief Building Official Tony Elmo presented the staff report. Councilmember Stone asked to have a shutoff valve installed in the City's maintenance building and the 6th Street parking lot in the interest of safety. Mayor Lindemans opened the public hearing at 8: 1 0 PM. Hearing no requests to speak, Mayor Lindemans closed the public hearing at 8:10 PM. It was moved by Councilmember Stone and seconded by Councilmember Ford to approve staff recommendation as follows: 1 7.1 Read by title only and introduce an ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 96-23 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 15, BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF SEISMIC GAS SHUTOFF VALVES AND ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM EQUIPMENT.
