NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Findings. The City Council in approving Planning Application No. 95-0003,
makes the following findings, to wit:
1. The project as conditioned is consistent with the goals, policies, and
implementation programs contained in the General Plan. The project is consistent with the
General Plan Specific Plan Area Overlay. The General Plan requires: "in areas identified as
Specific Plan Overlay, with an aggregate area of 100 or more acres, approval of a specific plan
is required prior to approval of any discretionary land use entitlement or issuance of any building
or grading permit." Further, the General Plan key objectives for this Specific Plan Area are to:
Ords\95-08 1
"provide complementary land uses to Old Town that increase the vitality of the area and to
increase the range of housing opportunities west of 1-15. M The Westside Specific Plan contains
land uses that support these objectives. The project will preserve significant open space area.
Approximately 67.4 gross acres of the slopes west of the Western Bypass Corridor (Westside
Parkway), east of the City Limit will remain in an open space designation, with no development
proposed on the site. Goal 5 of the Open Space/Conservation Element of the City's General
Plan calls for "Conservation of open space areas for a balance of recreation, scenic enjoyment,
and protection of natural resources and features."
2. The project is consistent with Government Code Section 65450. The Specific Plan
contains the information required under Article 8 of the Government Code, and meets the intent
of the Specific Plan as defined by state law.
3. The project will result in the construction of General Plan Roads and other
infrastructure. The Western Bypass Corridor is identified in the General Plan as the "Westside
Parkway," a Secondary Highway. First Street is also identified in the Circulation Plan as a
Principal Collector. The certified Final Environmental Impact Report and subsequent
development proposals for this project will require that the portions of these roads that will be
affected by this project be built as mitigation for the project. Additional infrastructure
improvements including, but not limited to, storm drain improvements, water and sewer
improvements, and other utilities will need to be completed as part of this project.
4. The project, as conditioned, will have adequate access. The Circulation Plan
within the Westside Specific Plan provides vehicular access to the project site from the Western
Bypass Corridor (Westside Parkway), Vincent Moraga Drive and First Street. Pedestrian access
is provided throughout the project site, along the projects' roads, as well as from Main Street.
Additional access to the site shall be by transit service.
5. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The Specific Plan contains
adequate provisions that will buffer sensitive uses from non-sensitive uses.
6. Said findings are supported by analysis, maps, exhibits, and environmental
documents associated with this application and herein incorporated by reference.
a. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, Planning Application No. 95-0003,
as proposed, is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. The City of Temecula City Council hereby
certifies the FEIR (Planning Application No. 95-0031), adopts Findings of Fact and Statements
of Overriding Consideration and approves of the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Old
Town Entertainment Project which includes the Westside Specific Plan and subsequent
development proposals within this area.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula City Council hereby approves
Planning Application No. 95-0003 to change the zoning on 154.1 acres of land from R-A-20
(Residential Agricultural - Twenty Acre Minimum Parcel Size) to Specific Plan on property
generally located west of Pujol Street, east of the City of Temecula's Western border, south of

To offset the loss of up to one acre of Riparian/Wetland habitat in Murrieta Creek, the
applicant shall develop two acres of Riparian/Wetland habitat or habitat improvements
in the immediate area of the Western Bypass bridge crossing, or at an alternative
location acceptable to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Department of Fish and
Game. The requirements of this measure can be superseded by any alternative
mitigation or compensation developed through acquisition of a Corps 404 Permit or
Department of Fish and Game 1601/1603Agreement. The plans for the two acres of
Riparian/Wetland enhancement shall be reviewed and approved by the City, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, and Department of Fish and Game prior to implementation.
11.
A silt fence or alternative acceptable to the City and San Diego Regional Water Quality
Control Board shall be installed downstream of construction activities in Murrieta Creek
to control siltation downstream of the construction site. The performance standard
used for this measure shall be sufficient control to prevent downstream siltation that
can cause degradation of the aquatic/riparian/wetland habitat.
12.
The applicant shall install fences or other measures to control human access from the
Western Bypass to the west, cxccpt in ^rca D of thc Wcstsidc Spccific I=lan. Thc City

habitat whcn this arca dcvclops. (Deleted at the Planning Commission hearing on June
6, 1995).
13.
The applicant shall comply with Ordinance No. 663 by paying the fee required by that
ordinance which is based on (the gross acreage of the parcels proposed for
development). Should Ordinance No. 663 be superseded by the provisions of a Habitat
Conservation Plan prior to the payment of the fees required by Ordinance No. 663, the
applicant shall pay the fee required under the Habitat Conservation Plan as
implemented by County ordinance or resolution.
14.
An earth berm or sound attenuation wall and landscaping be installed on the ridge
above the houses on Pujol Street to minimize noise levels at the nearest residences.
15.
Slope grading techniques on the slope facing Pujol Street shall aim to blend with the
existing nature of the topography. Grading techniques shall emphasize slope
contouring including contour undulation and variable slopes. In addition, tops and toes
of slopes shall be rounded. Hard edges and angles are to be avoided. Slopes shall be
designed to smoothly blend with remaining existing topography.
16.
Grading on the slope edge facing Pujol Street shall be revegetated or landscaped
immediately upon completion of grading activities, concurrent with project
development. Landscaping shall be natural in appearance and linear arrangements of
landscaping are to be avoided.
Prior to the Issuance of Building Permits
17.
A landscape plan shall be completed for review and approval by the Director of
Planning. This plan shall provide for full revegetation of the Western Bypass and First
Street cut slopes utilizing native/ornamental plants which will serve as a fire buffer
area. On the constructed building pads, the landscape plan shall include the planting
of large trees (minimum 4" diameter) immediately after construction of the pads is
completed. The effect of the revegetation plan will be to blend the slopes into the
0rds\95-08 6
natural coastal sage scrub and chamisal chaparral communities west of the Western
Bypass Road. The revegetation goal for the pads will be to visually screen and soften
the effect of the flat, graded and paved pads.
18.
All landscaped areas shall be irrigated in a manner that does not result in overland
flows of surface water and the discharge of fertilizer and pesticide contaminated
surface runoff to Murrieta Creek. The landscape designs and irrigation systems shall

responsibilities and the timing of necessary improvements shall be provided. These
studies shall be subject to review and the individual project shall be conditioned
accordingly and required right-of-way be reserved as dccmcd necessary by the
Department of I~ublic Works (Deleted at the Planning Commission hearing on June 5,
1995).
In compliance with the Site Traffic Impact Analysis of the Old Town Redevelopment
Project - Phase I, as prepared by BartonoAschman Associates, Inc., dated October 28,
1994, the following infrastructure improvements shall be completed prior to issuance
of any occupancy:
Page 40 of the study states that "at the Rancho California Road/Interstate 15
(I-15) north ramps, on the westbound intersection approach, widen and/or
restripe Rancho California Road to provide one through lane aligned with the
(eventual) separate left turn lane at the I-15 south on-ramp, one through lane,
one optional through/right turn lane, and one right turn lane. In order to
accommodate two lanes of right turning traffic onto the I-15 north on-ramp,
widening and/or restriping may be required just north of Rancho California Road;
0rds\95-08 9
these two lanes should merge into one lane, however, prior to intersecting the
mainline of I-15 north". Similar widening and/or restriping shall be provided on
the eastbound intersection approach at the Rancho California Road/Interstate
15 south ramp (Added at the Planning Commission hearing on June 5, 1995).
Page 19 of the study states that "at the State Route 79 south (SR79s)/I-15
interchanQe, the I-15 north ramp and south ramp intersections with SR79s will
be signalized, (and widened to provide additional through and turn lanes)". The
feasibility of ultimate southbound loop improvements and connection with
Western Bypass Corridor and acquisition/reimbursement agreement for work in
excess of project impact shall be explored. The ramp improvements are
currently identified in the Engineer's Report for Assessment District 159 and
scheduled to begin construction by the end of 1995. (Added at the Planning
Commission hearing on June 5, 1995).
Page 43 of the study states that "the Western Bypass Corridor (88 feet full
width right-of-way) shall be constructed from the I-15/SR79s interchange to
intersect the (proposed) southerly extension of Vincent Moraga Drive (including
the bridge crossing over Murrieta Creek, median and parkway improvements,
sidewalks, and street lights). Between the I-15/SR79sinterchange and the new
bridge over Murrieta Creek, a four lane, divided cross section shall be
constructed, thereby providing two through lanes per direction plus a separate
left turn lane at major intersections. West of Murrieta Creek to Vincent Moraga
Drive, the street section may be reduced to a two lane, divided cross, thereby
providing one through lane per direction plus a two way left turn lane and/or a
separate left turn lane at major intersections".
Page 43 of the study states that "Vincent Moraga Drive (78 feet full width
right-of-way) shall be extended south of its current intersection (existing
terminus) with Ridge Park Drive to intersect the Western Bypass (refer to the
above item). A two lane, divided cross section shall be constructed, thereby
providing one through lane per direction plus a two way left turn lane/or a
separate left turn lane at major intersections (including parkway improvements
and sidewalks)". The existing segment of Vincent Moraga Drive to Rancho
California Road shall be restriped to accommodate this same street section.
Page 43 of the study states that "In relation to the above item, Ridge Park Drive
shall form (be reconstructed to form) a "T" intersection with Vincent Moraga
Drive".
Page 43 of the study indicates that "the Front Street/Santiaao Road/First Street
intersection shall be redesigned to provide a four legged intersection via the
removal of the existing First Street east leg of this intersection. The existing
First Street east leg shall be "relocated" and shall operate as a "T" intersection
with Front Street between Santiago Road and Second Street".
Page 43 of the study states that "Front Street (78 feet full width right-of-way)
from the Front Street/Santiago Road/First Street intersection shall be extended
west to intersect the Western Bypass Corridor. A four lane, undivided, cross
section, thereby providing two through lanes per direction (including a bridge
crossing over Murrieta Creek, sidewalk and parkway improvements, and street

lights); however, at major intersections, a separate left turn lane shall also be
provided".
Page 43 of the study states that "a traffic signal warrant analysis (utilizing
criteria established by the State of California Department of Transportation)
indicates the Front Street/Western Bypass Corridor intersection shall be
signalized. It is recommended, therefore, that traffic volumes be monitored at
this location to determine the precise scheduling of this installation. Moreover,
when constructed this traffic signal shall be interconnected with the two traffic
signals proposed at the I-15/SR79s interchange".
Page 44 of the study states that "(once the First Street bridge is operational)
the existing Main Street bridc~e over Murrieta Creek may be restricted to
pedestrian and local transit circulation".
Traffic signals shall be installed at the intersection of Vincent Moraga Drive and
Rancho California Road. Interconnection shall be provided from this intersection
through the signalized intersection of Diaz and Rancho California Roads to the
intersection of Front Street and Rancho California Road (Added at the Planning
Commission hearing on June 5, 1995).
Sufficient parking and a local transit system shall be provided pursuant to the attached
alternative scenarios to satisfy the parking demands of the project in compliance with
the Old Town Redevelopment Project Parking Study, prepared by Robert Kahn, John
Kain & Associates, Inc., dated February 20, 1995.
Certain project related parking and circulation improvements will be implemented with
the future development of Westside Specific Plan as identified in the Old Town
Redevelopment Project Parking Study, prepared by Robert Khan, John Kain &
Associates, Inc., dated February 20, 1995, the Congestion Management Program
(CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis of the Old Town Redevelopment Project, prepared by
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc., dated October 28, 1994, and the General Plan Build
Out Traffic Impact Study of the Old Town Redevelopment Project, prepared by Wilbur
Smith Associates, dated March 1995. Pursuant to submittal of subsequent
development applications associated with the Westside Specific Plan, ensuing traffic
reports, parking studies, and public facilities' analyses determining respective project
specific and cumulative impacts identifying implementation responsibilities and the
timing of necessary improvements shall be provided. These studies shall be subject to
review and the individual project shall be conditioned accordingly and required right-of-
way be reserved as deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works.
The mitigations options to bc considcrcd (deleted at Planning Commission at June 5,
1995 hearing) are as follows:
Page 35 of the CMP analysis specifies the Extension of Puiol Street southerly
to intersect Western Bypass Corridor.
Page 35 of the CMP analysis specifies improvements to the 1-15/Rancho
California Road interchange. The improvements may include "a "loop" on ramp
accommodating eastbound to northbound movements".
0rds\95-08 11
Page 4 of the General Plan Build Out traffic analysis recommends "widening of
the Rancho California Road bridge (on the south side) to accommodate an
additional eastbound through lane".
Page 5 of the General Plan Build Out traffic analysis recommends "construction
of a southbound loop on ramp in the northwest quadrant of the 1-15/Rancho
California Road interchanae".
Page 5 of the General Plan Build Out traffic analysis recommends "construction
of a new southbound off ramp at Santiaao Road" (as an alternative).
Page 5 of the General Plan Build Out traffic analysis recommends improvements
to the I-15/SR79sinterchan~e. The improvements may include widening SR79s
to accommodate additional vehicular turning movements and/or an southbound
loop off ramp in the southwest quadrant of the interchange.
Page 35 of the CMP analysis states that "a realignment of Diaz Road north of
Rancho California Road and the realignment of Pujol Street/Felix Valdez Street
to make Diaz Road/Felix Valdez Street/Pujol Street a continuous north-south
route may be implemented". Alternatively, a realignment of Diaz Road north of
Rancho California Road to align with Vincent Moraga Drive shall be studied.
Page 35 of the CMP analysis states that "Sixth Street may be extended
westerly to intersect Pujol Street. This would require a bridge crossing over
Murrieta Creek".
Provision of adequately sized parking lots in compliance with the Old Town
Specific Plan at locations specified in the Old Town Redevelopment Project
Parking Study to satisfy the parking demands.
