PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 17, 1992
Parcel Map No. 27314, Amendment No. 2
Proposal is a request to subdivide a 96.9 acre parcel into 4 parcels and a 48.4 acre
remainder parcel, A Development Agreement to ensure the development of the project
as senior housing, congregate care facility, skilled nursing, personal care, a nine hole
private golf course and dedication of a 2.3 net acre parcel to the City of Temecula, and
a Zone Change from R-R (Rural Residential) to R-3 (General Residential).
Commissioner Blair stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
Saied Naaseh presented the staff report.
Roger D. Prend of Albert A. Webb Associates, 3788 McCray Street, Riverside,
architect representing the applicant, stated that they are in concurrence with the staff
report, however, commented on the severity of the five (5) year time limit and
suggested some additional language allowing the Planning Commission or the City
Council to use their judgement based on the amount of financial contribution or
improvement to the property instead of a five year limit, in the event of financial
difficulties. Mr. Prend added that the idea behind the development is to have a zone
change and a conceptual site plan/parcel map to allow a developer to come in and
finance a project and the development agreement is the guarantee for the right to do
the development as it is being proposed.
Commissioner Ford questioned whether the golf course is proposed to be public or
private.
Roger D. Prend stated that although it is proposed as private, the applicant would like
not to restrict it at this time and give the developer that option.
Chairman Fahey opened the public hearing at 6:30 P.M.
John Telesio, 31760 Via Telesio, Temecula, stated that he is in support of the project,
however requested clarification of the following: what is the meaning of senior
housing, and that the school portion will remain zoned R-R. Mr. Telesio also expressed
concern that the senior housing portion of this development is proposed adjacent to
the high school which might present a problem due to noise and lighting from football
and other school oriented events.
Bob Pipher, 41825 Green Tree Road, Temecula, expressed his concern that the area
remain zoned R-R.
Bob Kosslyn, representing Temecula Valley Unified School District, also expressed a
reservation with the proposed senior project adjacent to the high school which may
generate noise and light pollution during school events. Mr. Kosslyn requested that a
disclaimer be presented in any purchase or rental agreement.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 17,1992
Commissioner Ford expressed the following concerns:
Is there adequate parking for a public golf course?
A reciprocal access agreement is in place until the future plans for the school
are completed.
What is the definition of a completed golf course as referenced in the
development agreement?
Commissioner Ford expressed these concerns regarding the development agreement:
Page 18, 16.1 The number of units proposed in the development agreement
is not concurrent with that stated in the market report, clarify the request.
* Page 22, 18(E) Correct to read Pauba and Rancho Vista Road.
Page 23, 19(C) States that the grading must all be at one time and asked if the
developer been conditioned for immediate adherence to an erosion control
condition.
Page 24, 21(A) Suggest that instead of "developer" should read "owner" or
"successor".
* Page 26, (31) Request staff to clarify the reference to specimen trees.
* Page 26, (36) should read "entrance gates".
Page 26, (42) should include a requirement for clearances from the Army Corp
of Engineers, Fish and Game, and Fish and Wildlife.
* Page 29, review and clarification of access points.
Commissioner Chiniaeff stated that conceptually the project appears to be good for the
community, however, he felt that the Commission was being asked to make
environmental findings that the Commission is not able to make regarding the following
matters:
grading impacts and erosion control
number of units planned
public vs. private golf course traffic impacts
impacts of dividing parcel 2 whose property line is on the lake
traffic impacts
impact of the stadium adjacent to the project and the proposed mitigation
a general plan presumption that this area will be zoned high density
Commissioner Chiniaeff also expressed these concerns regarding the development
agreement:
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 17. 1992
* requested clarification of Page 3, M-2 and M-3.
* reference to the potential for amendment and interpretations; suggest outlining
what cannot be amended.
* makes reference to maximum building heights and sizes of proposed buildings,
however, the Commission has not been provided that information.
Commissioner Chiniaeff concluded that he feels that the request was premature based
on the information provided to the Commission to make e recommendation.
Commissioner Hoagland stated that he concurred that the project appeared good
conceptually, however, this is a major development and requires a major development
review. Commissioner Hoagland expressed concern regarding the following:
* what the impacts to the project and the surrounding residents would be if the
school relocates the gym and other facilities as stated.
* buffering of the school and the project with respect to noise, lighting, etc.
It was moved by Commissioner Hoagland, seconded by Commissioner Chiniaeff to
continue off-calendar, Development Agreement No. 92-1 (DA 92-1), Change of Zone
No. 21 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 27314, Amendment No. 2 to allow the developer
to work with staff on some of the specific items discussed.
Commissioner Ford added that the specifications of the senior center should be
included in the development agreement.
