City Council Minutes January 8, 1991
This item was removed from the Consent Calendar by Mayor Parks at the
request of David Jones.
David Jones, P.O. Box 988, asked the Council to consider either an exemption
or a two-year grace period to allow small businesses to maintain construction
storage bins, and large dumpsters on construction sites. He reported that an
exemption for construction currently exists with the County of Riverside.
Councilmennber Mu~oz asked if recycling is a voluntary program and whether
this ordinance would prohibit Mr. Jones from operating his business. City
Attorney Field answered that this Ordinance would provide for a single hauler
who would collect all construction solid waste. He stated this is necessary due
to the State mandated AB939, which calls for a substantial reduction in solid
waste, but said that a "Grandfather Period" of two years could be possible.
Councilmember Mu~oz recommended passing the ordinance and directing staff
to work ,out allowances for a "Grandfather Period" and bringing those
allowances back to Council for action at a later date.
Verlyn Jensen, 650 Town Center Drive, #1250, representing Inland Disposal,
stated that the County of Riverside no longer has an exemption for
Construction Roll-Off Bins and now requires a permit for such operations. He

17. Tentative Tract 95603
Gary Thornhill, Director of Planning, introduced the staff report.
Councilmember Lindemarts read into the record that Commissioner Ford could
have voted for sending this back for review, but felt the project should include
all the amenities and CC&R's.
Mayor Parks asked why a secondary driveway was required by staff. Mr.
Thornhill responded that it was a condition of the Fire Department.
Mayor Parks opened the public hearing at 8:50 PM.
Kevin McKenzie, 40550 La Colima Road, representing the applicant, stated the
intent of the applicant, Mr. Wait Dixon, is to develop a series of 53 to 58 four-
plexes with a residential look. He stated these four-plexes would provide an
opportunity for lower-cost housing, without the apartment style living and also
serve as a transition between the single-family units to higher density, condo
style housing.
Mr. McKenzie addressed issues raised by the Planning Commission as follows:
Lack of open space-recreation. He stated this project has been conditioned for
Quimby Fees and this should satisfy the requirement. He also stated there
would be space between the four-plexes creating a "back-yard" effect.
With regard to the lack of CC&R's, Mr. McKenzie stated this is a condition as
part of the map and would be addressed.
Ni nutes\01\08\91 -9-

He explained grading concepts could be altered if the condition of a secondary
road could be eliminated, and explained this was not proposed by the
applicant, but was a requirement by the Planning Department.
Mr. McKenzie stated that the proposed density is in conformance with SWAP,
however the applicant could reduce the Jots from 57 to 54. With regard to the
lack of a formal development plan, Mr. McKenzie stated the intent is not to
build 54 different four-plexes.
Mayor Parks asked if there is anything that is being done for approval of
buildings and layout. Mr. McKenzie stated he does not have a problem with
conditioning the types of structures available.
Councilmember Lindemans asked if this subdivision would be built in phases.
Mr. McKenzie answered it would be built in three phases.
Tim Crough, 41815 Hawthorne Street, Murrieta, stated he is in favor of this
project, stating the concept is suitable and appropriate for the area.
Gary Martin, 30601 Cabrillo Avenue, said he is an adjacent property owner and
feels that this is a responsible project and will serve as a buffer between his
more dense condominium project and the single-family residential.
Mayor Parks stated he had received a petition with 51 signatures from
surrounding property owners who are in opposition to the development.
Bill Bellino, 42111 Humber Drive, stated his opposition to the development due
to its lack of architectural uniformity and recreational facilities.
Jim Bacarella, 29892 Corte Tolano, said he is not opposed to a townhouse
project with the proposed amenities but is not in favor of a project where there
is no architectural uniformity.
Chris Martinelli, 30255 Corte Cantania, stated she lives in the Meadowview
Development where CC&R's call for 1/2 acre plus zoning, and stated this
development would not provide an effective buffer to single-family zoning.
Robb Vankirk, voiced his opposition to the development citing design flaws as
his major concern.
Sydney Vernon, 30268 Mersey Court, stated his opposition to the project due
to three issues, density, lack of facilities and build out time.
#inutes\01\08\g1 -10-
City Council Minutes January 8. 1991
Mr. McKenzie, representing the applicant, stated this property is more of a
transition property than a buffer and is designated for higher density than what
is being proposed. He stated that the management of the property issues have
already been addressed in the conditions of approval placed on the project.
Mayor Parks closed the public hearing at 9:30 PM.
Councilmember Birdsall stated her concerns over the second entrance to the
project and asked if it is a requirement Fire Department. Councilmember Moore
also voiced her concerns over this entrance, along with concerns over the
drainage agreements.
Councilmember Mu5oz stated Council seems to have an interest in reexamining
this case, and even those in opposition were not opposed to a townhouse type
project, just this particular areas of concern. He suggested sending this back
to staff for further review.
Mayor Parks asked if there is a method with plot plan approval to approve the
units in conjunction with a tentative map. Gary Thornhill stated there is no
requirement for a plot plan, however he felt staff could work this problem out.
He stated the major concern is that in order to reduce the grading, the
configuration of the four-plexes would have to be redesigned and density might
have to be reduced.
Mayor Parks asked the applicant, Mr. Wait Dixon, if he would be willing to
work with staff on this project.
Wait Dixon, 41785 Enterprise Circle, stated he would be willing to work with
staff but needed direction from the Council on their specific intent. He asked
what height crib-walls would be allowed, whether a secondary entrance is
needed, and stated he has a revised lay-out that would provide for 53 units
including a tot lot.
Mayor Parks stated that he is willing to accept that there will be crib walls. He
said CC&R's would need to be in place, that plot plan and elevation as well as
common open space should be addressed.
Councilmember MuRoz stated that if the applicant is willing to provide a tot lot
and satisfy the remaining Quimby responsibility in fees, he would be in favor
of the proposal.

She said the committee outlined criteria which included, the City would not
fund overhead or education for workers, commercial ventures and requests
from religious groups.

a building. Councilmember Birdsall stated that these funds are to get the
organization started.

request.

City Council Minutes January 8. 1991
Bill Bopf, 41707 Winchester Road, representing the Economic Development
Corporation, stated that without the support of the City, this organization could
not function, and the benefits gained would far exceed the funding requested.
Mayor Parks asked Ms. Henry to respond to the questions asked by the
speakers. She stated that the Economic Development Corporation request was
denied due to several concerns of the committee, one of which was that the
functions and overhead of this corporation were redundant with City
operations. She stated it is also redundant with Chamber functions. She
stated there are many ways the City can encourage economic development;
i.e. solving traffic problems, providing incentives for businesses to expand, and
cooperating in the planning process.
She stated the application of the Temecula Valley Playhouse stated it was for
a facility, however staff now understands the request is for the entire
production process.
Shawn Nelson, Director of Community Services, stated that a multi-user
Community Recreation Center is being developed that can facilitate cultural
special events and concerts, with not only indoor but outdoor/amphitheater
productions.
Ms. Henry explained Mr. Nelson has spent a great deal of time with organizers
of the Boys and Girls Club looking at modular units to house a youth facility.
She stated there is a critical need to receive funds, and a loan on very
favorable terms is a common practice of cities.
Mr. Nelson stated he met with Leigh Engdahl, a representative of the Boys and
Girls Club, to aid in securing modular buildings from the City of El Cajon. Mr.
Nelson stated he also discussed loaning the organization the money necessary
to purchase these building and assistance in locating a functional site in a
relatively short period of time.
Mayor Parks called a one minute break to change the tape at 10:05 PM.
Ms. Henry explained that the application of The Pantry was received after the
deadline, however it was considered. She said the application was from
TEAM, Inc. which stands for Temecula Evangelical Assistance Ministries
indicating a religious affiliation. She also indicated the application did not
properly address the financial statement required.

City Council Minutes January 8, 1991
Mayor Parks stated he believes that the Pantry donates to anyone that asks for
assistance on a non-sectarian basis. Councilmember Mu~oz stated that the list
of services this organization provides makes it necessary to review this request
further. He said that religious institutions of all types receive assistance from
government and asked the City Attorney to clarify this point.
City Attorney Field stated that this would require a review of the non-sectarian
nature of the benefits, but that possibilities exist for religious organizations that
provide a community based benefit.
Mayor Parks called a one minute break at 11:10 PM to change the tape. The
meeting was reconvened at 11:11 PM.
Councilmember Lindemans suggested bringing the Pantry application back in
one week, working with City Attorney Field and Mary Jane Henry to work out
the problems, stating that this organization should be funded.
Ms. Henry stated that if this case is reviewed, several other religious
organizations should also be reviewed. A straw vote was taken to consider
applications from religious organizations as long as their contributions benefit
the entire community. The vote was unanimously in favor.
Councilmember Birdsall stated she felt the amount of the Temecula Valley
Playhouse grant should be increased since the use of these funds has been
clarified.
Councilmember Moore stated she feels the Economic Development Corporation
is of vital importance to Temecula and asked that it be considered as part of
the mid-year budget review.
Councilmember Mu~oz asked why the Senior Center was not considered for
funding. Councilmember Birdsall stated that repeated attempts were made to
contact the senior center to no avail. She stated the Senior Center receives
State and United Way funds and did not request assistance from the City.
Mayor Parks stated he felt the Economic Development Corporation is needed
in this City and asked that it be considered. He also stated he is in support of
funding for the Pantry and asked that this be reconsidered.
Ms. Henry stated that the criteria for determining grants should be reviewed
along with the additional review of organizations for funding.
