PLANNING COMMISSION ~M~
MARCH 20, 1995
Art Pelka, 43185 Margarita Road, Temecula, addressed the Commission on Use
Regulation 9.08. Mr. Pelka represented 175 residents who had recommended
11 changes in regards to the Chaparral/Paloma Del Sol developments. They are
concerned because only 6 recommendations had been taken into consideration.
Draft Development Code Proposal
John Meyer summarized Chapters 9.01 - 9.05 for the Commission. Staff
recommends no changes to the Code.
After discussion on several items, language changes, public notice signs,
property use, home occupation certification, time extensions for permits, and
horticultural activities, the Commission requested staff incorporate them in the
Development Code Draft Revisions.
PUBLIC INPUT
AI Theurich, 30533 Bridgeview Cr, Temecula, representing 429 residents of a
Home Owners Association stated they are concerned with the Home
Occupation Certification. They wish the Development Code to contain strong
language limiting customers, employees, and traffic flow coming in and out of
the residences.
Kenneth G. Ray, Temecula, said he believes language in the Code should
include mitigation for schools due to the impact new developments will have.
It is irresponsible to encourage un-controlled growth.
Staff responded that section 9.06.05 - Special Use Standards, does not over-
crowd schools and section 9.16.04 Sub G - includes adequate provisions for
utilities and schools.
Larry Markham, 12175 Winchester Road, Temecula, spoke on 9.04 - Permits,
regarding the inconsistencies on Use Permits and the language on timelines. He
suggests the timelines be consistent, across the board, good for 3 years with
3 one-year extensions.
Staff will review and revise these items as needed, and provide them to the
Commission at a later meeting.
Commissioner Ford closed the Public Hearing at 8:45 PM.
The following items of concern expressed by the Commission will be revised by
staff in the Development Code: Impact on Public Schools; Notice of Hearings
for Review and Application Timeline; Standard Public Notice Signs; Editing
language and the public items will be brought back for action by the
Commission at a later meeting.
