Prepared by: Rolfe Preisendanz, Assistant Planner
RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department - Planning Division Staff
recommends the Planning Commission:
1. ADOPT the Notice of Exemption for Planning Application No. 02-0397 (Development
Plan); pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act;
2. ADOPT a Resolution entitled:

ESTABLISH AN 11,642 SQUARE FOOT EXECUTIVE OFFICE
BUILDING ON A VACANT .95 ACRE SITE, LOCATED AT 27247
MADISON AVENUE, NORTH OF SANBORN, KNOWN AS
ASSESSORS PARCEL NO. 910-272-012.
BACKGROUND
On November 20, 2002 the Planning Commission reviewed the project and requested that the
applicant redesign the architecture of the front elevation. The project was subsequently continued
to December 18, 2002 Planning Commission. On December 6, 2002 the applicant,
Herron+Rumansoff Architects, requested a continuance to the January 15, 2003 Planning
Commission to allow more time for redesign and plan preparation. This is a supplemental report
analyzing the design revisions, and the previous staff report packet is included as part of the record
as well.
ANALYSIS
Buildinq Desi.qn
On November 20, 2002 the Planning Commission determined that the architecture proposed for the
building was not consistent with the City-Wide Design Guidelines and the City of Temecula
Development Code, in that the building needed more articulation along the front elevation. The
Planning Commission requested that the applicant make the following architectural changes:
· Provide more architectural elements on the front elevation in order to break up the long
continuous plane of the parapet.
RAD 1~2002\024)397 Kevin Brown Executive Office Building~Supplemental staff rep~.doc
1
· Consider replacing the "rectangular" black canvas awnings with more "domed" shaped
awnings.
· Provide a colored rendering which more accurately represents the proposed building
elevations.
On December 30, 2002, the applicant submitted a revised elevation, site plan and floor plan as
requested by the Planning Commission. Staff reviewed the revised plans and noted the following
changes:
· The applicant has provided a three (3) foot structural offset in the center of the building,
which extends across the building approximately 55 linear feet. The offset continues the use
of the pro-cast concrete columns and amhways and parapet cap. The colonnade will remain
as originally proposed.
· The applicant has enhanced the parapet cap by making it 12" wider than originally proposed,
adding additional horizontal lines to the building.
· Four (4) additional light sconces were also added to the front elevation.
· The canvas awnings have not been changed.
The applicant has indicated to staff that the "rectangular" shape of the canvas awnings is preferred
and more accurately represents the amhitectural design they intended. The applicant is preparing a
new colored rendering which incorporates all the changes made. According to the owner and
applicant, the colored rendering will be available for the Planning Commission meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and is
Categorically Exempt from CEQA. (Section 15332 In-fill Development Project)
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that the applicant has addressed the concerns of the Planning Commission and that
the project is consistent with all-applicable City ordinances, standards, guidelines, and policies (with
or without the awning re-design). It is staff's opinion that the project is compatible with surrounding
development in terms of design and quality and recommends approval of the project based on the
Conditions of Approval and Findings.
FINDINGS
Development Plan (Section 17.05.010F)
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all
applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances of the city.

Commercial (SC) development in the City of Temecula General Plan. Approval of this type
of project will meet the intent of Policy 1.5 of the Land Use Element in supporting the
development of professional office uses to diversify the City of Temecula's economic base.

Code for the Service Commercial zoning district. The project has been conditioned by the

existing combination of shrubs and trees along the south edge of the property line to screen
the parking lot. The site circulation is functional and has been determined to be adequate by
the Fire Department. Additionally, the applicant has provided a three (3) foot structural offset
in the center of the building, which extends across the building approximately 55 linear feet.
The offset continues the use of the pre-cast concrete columns and archways and parapet
cap.

BACKGROUND
Planning Application 02-0397 was submitted on July 26, 2002. On September 5, 2002 a
Development Review Committee Meeting was held with the applicant and owner to present design
concerns. On October 14, 2002 the applicant requested that the project be scheduled for Planning
Commission as originally submitted. On October 31,2002 staff met with the owner, Kevin Brown, at
which time staff agreed to schedule the project for Planning Commission with a recommendation of
site redesign.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Planning Application No. 02-0397 (Development Plan) is a request to construct, operate and
establish an 11,642 square foot executive office building on a vacant .95-acre site. The project is
located at 27247 Madison Avenue north of Sanborn Avenue, known as Assessor's Parcel No. 910-
272-012. The underlying zoning for the site is Service Commercial.
ANALYSIS
Site Desiqn
The site design of Planning Application 02-0397 does not meet the requirements of the City-Wide
Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines (Page IV - 5) state:
"2. Site Orqanization
a. Buildings should, whenever possible, be placed at the minimum required front set
back.
b. Surface parking should be located at the rear of the site or at the side of the
building."
The site layout proposed by the applicant places the building at the rear of the property, 155 linear
feet from the face of curb along Madison Avenue, with the parking field located in the front of the
R:kD I?X2002X02-0397 Kevin Brown E~xecutive Office Building'~taff report.doc

building. Staff requested that the applicant redesign the site in order to comply with the City-Wide
Design Guidelines. The property owner has chosen not to follow staff's recommendation for the
following reasons:
· Maximize the size of the building
· The lot is small
· Prefer not to have a rear-facing entry
· Avoid a four-sided amhitecture.
· There is sufficient landscape buffering of the parking lot.
· Other buildings in the area are not along the street.
· Cost consideration and return on investment.
Buildin.q Desi.qn
The proposed building design is consistent the City-Wide Design Guidelines and the City of
Temecula Development Code. The architecture of the building can be described as Classic
Mediterranean. The amhitectural elements of the building include a recessed exterior colonnade
that runs along front of the building, pre cast concrete columns, exterior plaster archways, a
decorative exterior plaster parapet cap, exterior windows that incorporate pre-cast concrete arched
window surrounds and a pre-cast concrete base. The applicant is also proposing awnings at each
window proposed around the side and rear of the building.
Parkinq and Circulation
The parking and circulation for the project complies with the City-Wide Design Guidelines and the
Development Code. Based on the City's Development Code the project is required to provide 1
parking space for every 300 square feet of office space. The building proposes 11,642 square feet
of office use. To meet this the applicant has provided 47 parking spaces. The proposed site will
have its primary access off of Madison Avenue. The applicant will utilize the existing combination of
shrubs and trees along the south edge of the property line to screen the parking lot. The site
circulation is functional and has been determined to be adequate by the Fire Department.
Landscapinq
The landscaping for the project complies with the City-Wide Design. Guidelines and the
Development Code. The Development Code requires that 20 % of the site be landscaped, the
applicant has provided 22 % coverage. The landscaping along Madison Avenue currently exists
and will be maintained and protected in place. Additionally, the applicant will add (4) 15 gallon Bottle
Trees within the existing landscaping. The applicant proposes (4) 24" box Fruitless Olive trees
along the front colonnade, complimenting the architecture of the building. In compliance with the
City-Wide Design Guidelines the applicant has proposed a landscape planter along the perimeter of
the site with various trees such as 15 gallon "Sweet gum" trees, 15 gallon "Bottle" trees, and 15
gallon "London Plane" trees) and a variety of shrubs.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and is
Categorically Exempt from CEQA. (Section 15332 In-fill Development Project)

BACKGROUND
The applicant submitted a Development Plan application on behalf of KTM Sportmotorcycles USA,
Inc. on October 28, 2002. The application was subsequently deemed complete for processing on
that same date. A Development Review Committee meeting was conducted on November 14, 2002.
This application has been deemed eligible for Fast-Track status.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Plan
The applicant proposes to construct two-story western regional corporate offices for KTM totaling
43,161 square feet with 6,000 square feet of manufacturing area, 11,390 square feet of warehouse,
· 23,971 square feet of office space, 1,200 square feet of storage space and a 600 square foot
mechanical area. The building will be approximately 135 feet wide and 310 feet long, and will be
sited generally on the southern two-thirds of the site.
A 22-foot front building setback will be achieved from the Via Industria right-of-way. Landscaping will
be installed within the full width of the setback. A seven-foot tall concrete tilt-up wall will be erected
atop an eight-foot high earth berm directly behind the front setback. The wall will extend across the
entire property frontage on either side of the proposed building and metal sight obscuring gates will
be provided at the two site access points off Via Industria.
The building's main entrance will be accessed from both the Via Industria frontage and the south
side of the building. Four covered roll-up doorc will be situated at the rear of the building along the
western building elevation. Three additional secondary roll-up doors will be provided on the west,
south and north sides of the building. The majority of onsite parking will be achieved at the south
end of the project site. A 2.06-acre outdoor dirt motorcycle testing area and associated
observation/motorcycle storage structure will be established on the northern portion of the site. The
project site currently consists of four separate pamels. The three southernmost pamels will
ultimately be merged together.
Architecture
The proposed building architecture and colors will closely emulate the company's world
headquarters building in Austria. The building's ground floor will be constructed of tilt-up concrete.
The second-story will cantilever out eight-feet over the first floor across the entire eastern elevation
and across portions of the other three elevations. Moreover, all cantilevered portions of the second-
story will be sided with EIFS tilt-up concrete panels will be utilized in other areas. The main building
entrance will be inset under the second-story cantilever and will consist of storefront glass. Three 4'
x 28' vertical elements will be incorporated into the building frontage and will extend above the
roofline to serve as mechanical equipment screens. Score lines of various widths and depths will be
utilized on all four sides of the building.
The large wall across the project frontage will be designed and painted to appear as an extension of
the building. In addition, the wall will serve to fully screen the onsite parking areas and motorcycle
testing area. Low granite veneer walls will be employed in the vicinity of the main building entrance.
In addition, decorative paving treatments are proposed at both the entrance drives and main building
entrance. Three different paint colors will be used on the building's exterior including orange, gray
and black.
Landscaping
The applicant is proposing to utilize a native, drought tolerant plant palette onsite. The landscape
plan shows a landscaped area averaging 22 feet in width along the Via Industria frontage. Accent
trees such as Palo Verde and Mesquite, assorted shrubbery, grasses and decomposed granite will
all be provided within the landscape area. Moreover, the earth berm in front of the decorative
concrete wall along the project frontage shall be fully landscaped which shall serve to soften the
wall. Informal groupings of pepper trees will be planted as street trees along the Via Industria
frontage in conformance with the City's adopted street tree palette. Decorative trees, shrubs and
boulders will be utilized to accentuate the main building entrance.
With regard to the existing large slope along the western property line, staff believes the use of non-
native trees and shrubs will result in visual incompatibility with the natural chaparral slopes further to
the west. Therefore, staff is recommending that native trees be planted in informal groupings along
the base of the slope with native shrubs being planted higher up the slope, which will serve to
transition into the natural chaparral. Staff intends to require this same slope planting approach on
other properties along the Western Bypass which are abutting natural plant habitat areas that ara
likely to remain undeveloped. It should be noted that the slopes would be planted with the same
amount of trees and shrubs as currently required in the Development Code.
ANALYSIS
Building Design
The proposed building design is consistent with the Development Code and Design Guidelines, and
is compatible with the adjacent industrial buildings. The eight-foot deep, second-story cantilever will
serve to break-up the expanse of the eastern building elevation, in addition, the three vertical
elements will further serve to articulate the building frontage. The scale of the building is in
R:~D P~2002\02-0587 KTM Motorcycles~taff Report and COAs.doc
3
proportion with the surrounding area. The property owner is proposing to paint a portion of the
building KTM Orange, which is KTM's corporate color. While the proposed orange color is a
departure from more typical industrial buildings in the vicinity, staff believes the proposed tone of
orange is compatible with the other colors on the building and the greens and browns associated
with the proposed landscape palette onsite. In addition, the building will be significantly hidden from
long distance views once the surrounding properties are fully developed.
Landscaping
The landscape plan conforms to the landscape requirements of the Development Code and Design
Guidelines. Tree and shrub placement within the landscape area adjacent to the building will serve
to effectively soften the building elevations. Moreover, the location and palette of accent trees and
shrubbery within the vicinity of the main building entrance serves to both formalize and define the
entry.
Site Plan
The project conforms to all of the development regulations of the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district.
The building setbacks either meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the Development Code.
The proposed 7.8% lot coverage is far below the maximum permitted. Moreover, staff has
determined that 107 off-street parking spaces are required to serve the building. One hundred and
ten parking spaces have been provided. In addition, staff believes the distribution of the parking is
functional and accessible to all building entry points.
Access and Circulation
The Public Works Department has analyzed the projected traffic impact of the project and has
determined that the impacts are consistent with the traffic volumes projected for the site by the
previously approved Negative Declaration and General Plan EIR. The Fire Department has also
reviewed the plan and determined that there is proper access and cimulation to provide emergency
services to the site.
Environmental Determination
Staff has reviewed the proposed project and determined that no new significant environmental
effects have occurred since a Negative Declaration was previously adopted in 1998. The Negative
Declaration was in association with Tentative Parcel Map No. 28473 which created 13 industrial lots
including the project site. Mitigation Measures associated with the Negative Declaration have been
incorporated into the conditions of approval for this proposed project.
The property owner voluntarily had poiential noise impacts associated with the proposed outdoor
motorcycle testing area evaluated in a Noise Study prepared by RK Engineering Group in
September 2002 (see Exhibit I). The study was conducted prior to the Development Plan application
being submitted and utilized a scenario of seven motorcycles being simultaneously tested on site. It
was concluded that the noise decibels emanating from the site would not exceed City General Plan
standards. Therefore, no significant noise impacts would result to either the residential uses west of
the project site or the surrounding industrial uses and no mitigation measures were necessary. To
further ensure that noise impacts are minimized, the applicant is voluntarily proposing to erect a
seven-foot tall solid concrete tilt-up wall atop an eight-foot high earth berm along the Via Industria
frontage.
It is staff's opinion that this project qualifies under CEQA for a "Determination of Consistency"
exemption with a project (tentative map) for which a Negative Declaration was previously adopted
(Section 15162 - Subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations).
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff has determined that the proposed corporate offices and associated motorcycle reseamh and
development facilities are consistent with the City's Design Guidelines and Development Code.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Development Plan with the attached conditions of
approval.
FINDINGS
Development Plan (Section 17.05.010F)
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan and with all applicable

Design Guidelines and development regulations. The proposed plan incorporates
architectural and landscape designs, which will achieve the City's General Plan Community
Design Goal #3, "Preservation and enhancement of the positive qualities of individual
districts or neighborhoods ".
The 43,161 square foot facility complies with all applicable development standards of the
Light Industrial (LI) zoning district as well as off-street parking and landscaping
requirements.

RE: Cultural Resource Review
Case: PA 02-0557--KTM Motorcycle Research & Development Facility
Records at the Eastern Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information
System have been reviewed to determine if this project would adversely affect prehistoric
or historic cultural resources:
The proposed project ares has not been surveyed for cultural resources end contains er is adjacent to
known cultural resource{s). A Phase I study is recommended.
,6/ Based upon existing data the proposed project area has the potential for containing cultural resources.
A Phase I study is recommended.
A Phase I cultural resource study {MF # ) identified one or more cultural resources.
The project area contains, or has the possibility of containing, cultural resources. However, due to the
nature of the p~'oject or prior data recovery studies, an adverse effect on cultural resources is not
anticipated. Further study is not recommended.
A Phase I cultural resource study (MF #1487 [pa~t of e larger project]) identified no cultural resources
within the project boundaries.
There is a Iow probability of cultural resources. Further study is not recommended.
If, during construction, cultural resources are encountered, work should be halted or diverted in the
immediate area while a qualified archaeologist evaluates the finds and makes recommendations.
Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the area, earthmoving during construction should be monitored
by a professional archaeologist.
l/ The submission of a cultural resource management report is recommended following guidelines for

Dear Mr. Harris:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within the
boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). Water and sewer
service, therefore, would be available upon construction of any required on-site
and/or off-site water and sewer facilities and the completion of financial
arrangements between RCWD and the property owner.
If fire protection is required, the customer will need to contact RCWD for fees
and requirements.
Water availability would be contingent upon the property owner signing an
Agency Agreement that assigns water management rights, if any, to RCWD.
This project has the potential to become a commercial condominium site with
individual building owners and a homeowners' association maintaining the
common property and private water and fire protection facilities. RCWD
requires that the City of Temecula include a Reciprocal Easement and
Maintenance Agreement for these .on-site private water facilities, as a condition
of the project.
If you should have any questions, please contact an Engineering Services
Representative at this office.

BACKGROUND
The applicant submitted a Development Plan application on June 11,2002. The application was
subsequently deemed incomplete for processing on July 11, 2002. A Development Review
Committee letter was sent to the applicant on August 19, 2002. In the letter, staff expressed several
amhitectural and site plan concerns.
Those architectural concerns included the lack of building articulation, distinctive entry elements,
employee break areas, and lack of wall offsets or landscape enhancements along the sides of the
buildings. Revised plans, submitted September 26, 2002 addressed some of the concerns. A final
set of plans, submitted November 19, 2002, provided offsets, entry elements, and enhanced
employee break areas.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Plan
The applicant proposes to construct two speculative industrial/warehouse buildings with Building A
anticipated to have 2,700 square feet of manufacturing area, 7,304 square feet of storage and 1,200
square feet of office space: and Building B anticipated to have 2,700 square feet of manufacturing
area, 7,560 square feet of storage and 1,200 square feet of office space. The buildings vary slightly
in size but are approximately 90 feet wide and 125 feet long sited against the side (north and south)
property lines. A central driveway off Bostik Court provides shared access between the buildings to
the loading areas at the rear.
Each building has two roll-up doom along the rear (west) building elevations out of public view. The
buildings have a 20-foot front setback from the Bostik Court right-of-way. Landscaping, as well as
the pedestrian/ADA access path, will be installed within the setback. Proposed onsite parking will be
located adjacent to the buildings along the entry aisle and along the west side (rear) of the property.
R:~D 1~2002\02-0308 Slater Buildlng~Staff Report and COAs.doc
2
Architecture
The proposed buildings will be constructed of tilt-up concrete. The corners with the building
entrances are recessed five feet. Portions of the accented entries will project out six feet from the
buildings toward the entry aisle. A six-foot deep, forty-two foot long building offset will be provided
along the northern elevation of Building A, which serves to breakup this wall expanse visible from
the right-of-way and to offer an additional landscape buffer along the property line of the adjoining
pamel. In addition, there are five-foot offsets on the interior elevations of the two buildings to further
breakup the building facades. The southern elevation of Building B is not visible from the street and
backs up to a slope and thus does not warrant significant articulation or architectural detailing.
Mirrored finish glazing (Cool Grey) will be incorporated into the building entrance creating the
appearance of two story offices. Score lines will be utilized on all four sides of the building creating
the appearance of banding and columns. Three different paint colors will be used on the building's
exterior. The base of the building is painted green-grey and the upper portion is off-white. A dusty
rose color is use on the columns around the entrance and in combination with the green-grey as
vertical accenting on the building elevations. Accent paving treatments and plantings are proposed
at the building entrances.
Landscaping
The landscape plan shows a planter averaging 20 feet in width along the Bostik Court frontage.
Accent trees, assorted shrubbery, and turf will be provided behind the street's sidewalk along with a
row of Evergreen Pear (Pyrus Kawakamii) and shrubs in front of the building. Trees and shrubs
adjacent to the buildings and amongst the parking stalls and the employee patios will serve to
effectively screen views toward the activity areas of the site. At the rear of the property is a 60-foot
high slope, which constitutes the majority of the site's landscaping. This slope will include a mix of
pine, pepper, and bottlebrush trees and a variety of shrubs and ground covers.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The project conforms to all of the development regulations of the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district.
The building setbacks exceed the minimum requirements of the Development Code. The proposed
26% lot coverage is well below the maximum permitted. Staff has determined that 37 off-street
parking spaces are required to serve the buildings. Forty parking spaces have been provided. In
addition, staff believes the distribution of the parking is functional and accessible to all building entry
points.
Access and Circulation
The Public Works Department has analyzed the projected traffic impact of the project and
determined that the impacts are consistent with the traffic volumes projected for the site by the
General Plan EIR, The Fire Department has also reviewed the plan and determined that there is
proper access and circulation to provide emergency services to the site,
Building Design
The office building design is consistent with the Development Code and Design Guidelines, and is
compatible with the industrial buildings in the area, for Warehouse and office use. The additional
glass and relief elements on either side of the building entrances will serve to ensure the buildings'
focal point and recognition. Significant wall offsets on the building elevations help avoid a box-like
R:~D PX2002\02-0308 Slater BuiidingXStaff Report and COAs.doc
3
appearance. The scale and colors of the building are in proportion and compatible with the
surrounding area.
Landscaping
The landscape plan conforms to the landscape requirements of the Development Code and Design
Guidelines. Tree placement (Evergreen Pear) within the planters adjacent to the building are of a
variety used more typically for ornamental purposes. Staff does not believe that these trees will
serve to effectively soften and compliment the building elevations and is therefore, recommending
replacing the Evergreen Pear with a larger tree variety. A condition of approval to this effect has
been included. The proposed trees and shrubbery along the north elevation of Building A will serve
to effectively accent and offer relief to a fairly visible building elevation that would otherwise be
adjacent to the property line and un-enhanced.
During the initial review of this project the applicant did not propose to landscape the slope. The
applicant was asked to provide landscaping on the slope in accordance with the City's Landscape
Design Standards for slope planting under Section 17.08.060 C.5 (See attached excerpt, Exhibit 3).
These standards require that slope banks over five feet in vertical height be irrigated and
landscaped. The quantity of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers planted on a slope is determined by
the square footage of the area being planted.
At this time, the applicant has complied with the City standards, but the Westside Business Center
Property Owners Association has sent staff a letter objecting to the City's requirement to plant the
slope, which is their maintenance responsibility. In the attached letter, the association states that
the slope is planted per the original development plan approved by the County of Rivemide and the
association's budget does not include the additional cost for trees and the ongoing maintenance of
trees. The slope is currently planted with what appears to be an erosion control mix of groundcover
plants (primarily Gazanias). Staff understands the association's concerns but does not believe this
type of planting will achieve the Code's intent to "soften their (slope's) appearance" with a mix of
trees, shrubs, and greundcover for such a visible area.
Environmental Determination
The proposed project is exempt from environmental review based on Section 15332 (In-Fill
Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act. There are no potentially
significant environmental constraints on the site; the project is consistent with the General Plan
designation and zoning regulations; is located on a site within the city limits, which is served by all
utilities; and is less than 5 acres in area.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff has determined that the proposed industrial/warehouse building is consistent with the City's
General Plan Design Guidelines and Development Code. Therefore, staff recommends approval of
the Development Plan with the attached conditions of approval.
FINDINGS
Development Plan (Section 17.05.010F)

Dear Mr. Thomsley:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located wit~n the
boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). Water and sewer
service, therefore, would be available upon construction of any required on-site
and/or off-site, water and sewer facilities and the completion of financial
arrangements between RCWD and the property owner.
If fire protection is required, the customer will need to contact RCWD for fees
and requirements.
Water availability Would be contingent upon the property owner signing an
Agency Agreement that assigns water management rights, if any, to RCWD.
This project has the potential to become~ a commercial condominium site with
individual building owners and a Homeowner's Association maintaining the
common property and private water and fire protection facilities. RCWD
requires that the City of Temecula (City) include a Reciprocal Easement and
Maintenance Agreement for these on-site, private water facilities, as a condition
for this project.
If you should have any questions, please .contact an Engineering Services
Representative at this office.
Sincerely,

BACKGROUND
The following shall serve as supplemental analysis to the original staff report dated December 4,
2002, which has been included as an attachment. At the December 4, 2002, Planning Commission
meeting, the Meadows Village project was continued to the January 15, 2003, meeting to allow time
for the City Attorney to research the legal issues brought up by the applicant, and for the applicant to
work on redesigning the site plan in order to address staff concerns.
After reviewing the legal issues, it has been determined by the City Attorney that the Neighborhood
Commercial zoning designation applies to the subject parcel. In a meeting held on December 17,
2002, the Assistant City Attorney communicated the opinion to the applicant and the applicant's
attorney Greg Weilert. The applicant did not agree with this opinion, but requested that the item
move forward and a meeting be set up to discuss site design issues.
Staff and the applicant met for two hours on December 26, 2002, to discuss site design issues. On
December 27, 2002, the applicant faxed a revised site plan with the changes to staff for review. On
December 30, 2002, a conference call was held to go over the revised site plan. During this
conference call, staff informed the applicant that the revised site plan did not fully address the
fundamental concerns of the site plan.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Amendment
It is still the opinion of staff that the proposed General Plan Amendment is not compatible with the
surrounding single-family residences, nor is it consistent with the General Plan policies. Staff
recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the General Plan Amendment to
the City Council.
RAD P~2002\024)273 Meadow Villagc~Staff Report PC 1-15~)3.doc
3
During the Planning Commission meeting on December 4, 2002, the applicant stated that the
proposed site is nearly ten acres and is more suitable for the Community Commercial land use
designation. The General Plan states that the Community Commemial zoning land use designation
usually comprises between 10 to 50 acres of land. The actual usable net acreage of the site is 8.49
acres. The actual usable acreage is more consistent with the Neighborhood Commercial land use
designations, which are usually developed on less than 10 acres. Per the City's General Plan, these
projects should be compatible with adjacent residential uses and should be designed to encourage
pedestrian usage.
Staff has provided the following table, which lists all of the existing large-scale grocery stores within
the City of Temecula. The table includes the store name, location and the net acreage of the pamel
in which the grocery store is located. The table indicates that no large-scale grocery stores within
the City of Temecula are sited on a parcel as small as the proposed parcel. With the exception of
the Albertsons located on Highway 79 South. However, this store is directly adjacent to the Village
of Paseo del Sol shopping center. The Villages of Paseo del Sol shopping center is comprised of
an additional 23 acres of land. Additionally, staff has researched the areas directly adjacent to the
large-scale grocery stores listed below and have found that none of them directly abut single-family
residences.

Specific Plan Amendment
The proposed amendment of the Margarita Village Specific Plan to change the land use designation
from Neighborhood Commercial to Community Commercial is not consistent with the General Plan.
As previously stated, staff still does not support the request and is recommending denial of the
proposed Specific Plan Amendment.
Development Plan
Ori.qinal Site Plan
The following is a list of concerns that were noted in the previous staff report:
· The access point on Rancho California nearest to the intersection creates internal
circulation conflicts.
· The proposed site plans lack on-site pedestrian linkages to encourage non-vehicle use
once on the site.
· The large parking field in front of the grocery store is unsightly from Rancho California
Road.
· The location of the drive-thru is unsightly and close to a major intersection.
· The location of loading areas inhibits pedestrian experience and creates noise conflicts.
· .The location of building E is segregated from the site and backs onto Meadows Parkway.
· The location of building F requires unsafe crossings by pedestrians.
· Outside gathering spots are insufficient and require unsafe pedestrian crossings.
· The location of trash enclosures will create unsightly appearance at main entries.
Revised Site Plan
The following is a summary of the proposed changes to the site plan:
· The access point along Rancho California that is furthest east has been relocated slightly to
the west.
· A longer throat area has been added to the westerly access point off of Rancho California.
· One of the shop buildings (former Shop E) has been eliminated and the square footage has
been added to another shop building (former Shop F). Parking and landscaping has been
added to the area where the shop building used to be located.
· The drive-thru has been moved to the east side of the drug store building and the building
has been rotated to line up with the intersection of Rancho California Road and Meadows
Parkway.
· The patio areas have been relocated to the more prominent locations on Shops C and
Shops D.

Remainin.q Site Plan Concerns
Staff has reviewed the revised site plan and has determined that the following site plan issues have
not been addressed:
· Access to the site is not consistent with the access points as defined in the Margarita
Village Specific Plan. The Specific Plan identifies only two access points, one along
Meadows Parkway and one along Rancho California Road. The proposed site plan
identifies four total access points. The additional access points are dictating the design of
the site, which prevents optimum pedestrian linkages.
· The access point on Rancho California nearest to the intersection still creates internal
circulation conflicts and should be eliminated. The access point on Meadows Parkway
nearest to Rancho California should also be eliminated. The elimination of the two access
points will provide the ability to alleviate many of the remaining site design concerns.
· The proposed site plan has not addressed staff concerns in regards to on-site pedestrian
linkages. It is the opinion of staff that the intent of the Specific Plan was to develop a
pedestrian oriented center, and without good pedestrian linkages the intent is not being
met.
· The Development Code requires that commemial buildings be clustered. Clustering of
buildings will create plaza or pedestrian malls instead of "strip commercial". The proposed
site plan is not meeting the intent of the Development Code.
· The applicant has not addressed staff's concern with the large parking field in front of the
grocery store. Staff in a DRC letter dated August 26, 2002, recommended that the
applicant relocate buildings to this area, which would serve to alleviate staff's concern.
· The location of the drive-thru has been relocated to the east side of the drug store. Staff
could support the location of the drive through if the access points off of Rancho California
and Meadows Parkway are eliminated.
The proposed Development Plan is not consistent with the General Plan nor is it consistent with the
Margarita Village Specific Plan. The proposed grocery store is not a permitted use in the
Neighborhood Commercial zoning district (Development Code Section 17.08.030). Should the
Planning Commission support the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment, staff
would request that the Planning Commission provide direction on the remaining site plan concerns
expressed by staff.
Conditional Use Permit
Staff has determined that the required findings necessary to approve the Conditional Use Permit
cannot be made at this time, because of insufficient information from ABC and the unclear status of
the prerequisite land use approvals. In addition, staff does not support the location of the drive-thru,
unless the access points on Rancho California and Meadows Parkway are eliminated.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Although CEQA does not require an environmental review for denied projects, staff has prepared an
Initial Study, in the event that the Planning Commission and City Council consider the applications
for approval. Based on the recommendation of denial, staff recommends that no environmental
action be taken on this project.

CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
Staff has determined that the proposed General Plan Amendment is not consistent with all of the
goals and policies of the General Plan. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission
recommend denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment. The Specific Plan Amendment is not
consistent with the General Plan, therefore the Specific Plan Amendment should be denied. The
proposed Development Plan is not consistent with the General Plan, the Margarita Village Specific
Plan or the Development Code and should also be denied. The proposed Conditional Use Permit is
not Consistent with the General Plan, the Margarita Village Specific Plan, or the Development Code
and should be denied.
FINDINGS
Staff has made the following findings of denial, which are reflected in the attached resolutions:
General Plan Amendment
The proposed amendment is not compatible with the adjacent single-family residences,
because the land use change would permit future development that would be "out of scale"
and not compatible with the surrounding single-family detached residential zoning. The
intent of the proposed Community Commemial land use designation is to serve the entire
community, which would not be compatible with the surrounding residential setting. The
existing land use designation of Neighborhood Commercial is compatible with the
surrounding land uses and should not be amended.
As stated in the Overview section of the General Plan, "every general plan amendment must
be consistent with the rest of the general plan". The requested amendment to the General
Plan Land Use designation from Neighborhood Commemial to Community Commemial will
not be consistent with the rest of the General Plan. The proposed Land Use Element goal
number 3, requires a land use pattern that will protect and enhance residential
neighborhoods. The currant land use map is meeting this goal; a change of the land use to
Community Commercial will be in conflict with this goal.
Land Use Policy 3.1 states "Consider the compatibility of proposed projects on surrounding
uses in terms of size and configuration of buildings, use of materials and landscaping,
preservation of existing vegetation and landform, the location of access mutes, noise
impacts, traffic impacts, and other environmental conditions". The proposed amendment will
permit a scale of uses that are not compatible with the existing single-family homes.
Goal Number 3 of the Community Design Element, states that the preservation of the
character of the single-family neighborhoods and their protection from intrusions from
buildings that are "out of scale", is of particular importance. The proposed amendment is not
consistent with this goal by permitting future development that is "out of scale" in relation to
the existing homes.
Specific Plan Amendment
The proposed specific plan amendment is not consistent with the current land use
designation for the G~neral Plan, because the proposal requests Community Commercial,
and the General Plan designates the site as Neighborhood Commercial.
R:',D P~2002\0241273 Meadow Village,Staff Report PC 1-154)3.doc
7
=
The proposal will have an adverse effect on surrounding property because it is a significant
change to the planned land use of the site and is inconsistent with the overall concept of the
Margarita Village Specific Plan, in that it introduces larger-scale commercial adjacent to
single-family homes.
The proposal is not compatible with the surrounding land uses. The amendment requests to
intensify the proposed uses and scale of the site and this will create conflicts with the
surrounding single-family development.
Development Plan (Section 17.05.010F)
The proposed grocery store is not in conformance with the current General Plan land use
designation of Neighborhood Commemial. The land use designation as defined in the
General Plan "Neighborhood Commercial designation includes smaller-scale business
activities which generally provide retail or convenience services for the local residents in the
surrounding neighborhood (Page 2-29)." Small food markets less than 25,000 square feet
are permitted in the Neighborhood Commemial zoning district, however the proposed 48,427
square foot supermarket is not a permitted use in the Neighborhood Commemial zoning
district (Section 17.08.030).
Tl~e proposed access points are not consistent with the access points indicated within the
Margarita Village Specific Plan for Planning Area 19. The specific plan indicates that there
should only be one access point off of Rancho California Road and one access point off of
Meadows Parkway. The access points as proposed create internal circulation conflicts and
limits the ability to redesign the site,
The Commemial Development Performance Standards found in the Development Code
states that pedestrian linkages between uses in the commemial areas shall be provided, and
new structures should be clustered to create plazas or pedestrian malls instead of rows of
commercial (Section 17.08.070C). These performance standards are not being met.
Conditional Use Permit (17.04.010E)
The proposed conditional use is not consistent with the General Plan and the adopted
Margarita Village Specific Plan. The proposed grocery store is not a permitted use in the
Neighborhood Commercial zoning district.
The nature of the proposed conditional use may be detrimental to the general welfare of the
community due to a potential over-concentration of alcohol outlets in the Census tract.
However, there are insufficient facts available to make an affirmative finding.
10.
The decision to deny the application for a conditional use permit is based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not X
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or X
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which X
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
Comments:
,8.
No Impact. The existing property has not been identified as a scenic vista in the City of Temecula's
General Plan.
No Impact. Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway are not designated as scenic resources
nor is the site within the view of a state scenic highway. As a consequence, no significant impact to
scenic resources will result from the proposed project or future development of the site.
.0.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project will be located adjacent
to existing single-family units to the south and east of the project site. The single-family homes grades
vary from sixteen feet to thirty feet above the proposed site. The proposed parapet walls for the two
buildings located nearest the single-family homes are approximately twenty-eight feet. Due to
grade differences and heights of the proposed buildings the project has the potential to have roof top
equipment visible from the adjacent residents. Also, the project has storage areas and loading areas
that have the potential to be visible from the adjacent residents. Therefore, the following mitigation
measures will be implemented.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
The applicant shall be required to screen all roof mounted mechanical equipment from view of
the adjacent residence, utilizing architectural elements.
All loading and storage areas shall be located in the least intrusive areas of the site.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will produce a new soume of substantial light and glare.
All light and glare has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. Due to proximity to
residential uses. the project also has a potential to create significant light and glare impacts onsite or
impacting the surrounding area and uses. The project will be conditioned to comply with the County's
Ordinance 655 requirements. The project as conditioned will result in a less than significant impact.

b. Conflict with the existing zoning for agricultural use, or a X
Williamson Act contract?
c. , Involve other changes in the existing environment, which X
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion
of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
2a.-c. No Impact. The project site is not currently in agricultural production and in the historic past the site
has not been used for agricultural purposes. The site is not under a Williamson Act contract nor is it
zoned for agricultural uses. This property is not considered prime or unique farmland of statewide or
local importance as identified by the State Department of Conservation and the City of Temecula
General Plan. In addition, the project will not involve changes in the existing environment, which
would result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. Therefore, there is no significant
impact related to this issue.
3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following

R:\D I:A2.002~02-0273 Meadow Village\Initial Study.doc
5
the study the URBEMIS 2001 model was used, which indicated that the Meadows Village project
would fall below significance levels for construction and operational emissions as established by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. As a consequence, a less than significant is anticipated
as a result of this project.
.0.
Less Than Significant ImpacL As discussed in item 3. a,b above, the project is within acceptable
standards as established by thresholds for impacts associated with construction of commercial
development. The proposed site has been graded previously, which will eliminate the need for
significant grading and excavation. As a consequence a less than significant impact is anticipated as
a result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. As proposed the project will not expose sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrators. The proposed project will fall below the significance levels
established by $CAQMD for construction and operational emissions. As a consequence a less than
significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation. The project may create objectionable odors during the
construction phase of the project. These impacts will be short in duration and are not considered
significant over the long term. The project shall comply with the environmental standards as detailed
in the Development Code for commercial development. The proposed project has sited a large-scale
grocery store in close proximity to single-family residences to the south and east. A large-scale
grocery store has the potential to generate objectionable odors that may affect the single-family
residences. The food waste generated and disposed of at the rear of the proposed store may create
objectionable odors for the adjacent homes. Therefore, the following mitigation measures will be
implemented.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
The project will be required to have daily trash pickups that will eliminate any potential
objectionable odors.
Trash enclosures shall be required to be located in areas that are the least intrusive areas of
the site.

Comments:
4.a-e
No Impact. The General Plan does not designate the project site as a potentially sensitive habitat
site. The site is outside the habitat area identified for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly and does not
contain wetlands as defined by the Clean Water Act. The site has been rough graded previously into a
developable commercial pad. There is no anticipated biological impact associated with this project.
No Impact. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. The
project will be conditioned to comply with provisions of Chapter 8.24 of the Temecula Municipal Code
(Habitat Conservation), which requires payment of the Stephens Kangaroo Rat fee. No impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
5.a. No Impact. The subject site does not meet the criteria of a historical resource as defined in Section
15064.5 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
5.b-d. Less Than Significant ImpacL Construction of the proposed buildings will occur on land that has
been previously graded. Due to previous land disturbance, it is unlikely that cultural resoume~s remain
on this site. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR # 202) was adopted as a part of the Margarita
Village Specific Plan. In the comment-received portion of the EIR it was noted that that the subject
parcel was part of a cultural resources inventory conducted by Archaeological Systems Management

Inc., in conjunction with the "Draft EIR for Rancho Villages Policy Plan GPA. It was further stated that
no historic sites and only one archeological site was identified in the Margarita Village Specific Plan
area. Archeological site, Riv. 1726, is located on a knoll north of Rancho California Road, about one
mile east of Margarita Road. Additionally, neither the City of Temecula General Plan Environmental
Impact Report nor the City's General Plan identifies this project site as an area of significant cultural
resources. The project will be conditioned have a paleontologist/archaeologist or representative
present that shall have the authority to temporarily divert, redirect or halt grading activity to allow
recovery of fossils.

Comments:
6.a.i, ii, iii.
Less Than Significant ImpacL The project may have a significant impact on people involving
seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction and subsidence of the land) and
expansive soils, and will have a less than significant impact to erosion, changes in topography or
unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill. The project is located in Southern California,
an area that is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be reduced to a less than
significant impact and conditioned to conform to Uniform Building Code standards. Further,
preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as part of the application submittal and
recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate conditions of approval.
The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to
mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure
(including liquefaction and subsidence of the land), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil'
conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils.
R:\D P\2002~02-0273 Meadow V~lage\lnit~al Study.doc

6.a.iv,
No Impact. The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental
Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or
mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. Potential impacts will be mitigated by conditions of approval to
comply with State of California Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone development criteria and
construction in accordance with the Uniform Building Code standards. A soils report shall be required
as part of the development and shall contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which
will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground
failure (including liquefaction), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from
excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. Erosion control techniques will be included as a
condition of approval for development projects at the site. Potential unstable soil conditions from
excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of proper compaction of the soils and
landscaping.
Less Than Significant ImpacL Any potential significant impacts will be mitigated through building
construction, consistent with the Uniform Building Code standards. Further, the project will be
conditioned to provide soil reports prior to grading and recommendations contained in this report are
complied with during construction. The soil reports will also contain recommendations for the
compaction of the soil, which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic
ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils.
No Impact. Septic sewage disposal systems are not proposed for this project. The project is
connected to the existing public sewer system in Rancho California Road; therefore, no impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
I HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project:
a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the X
environment through the routine transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials?
b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the X
environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and
accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or X
acutely hazardous materials, substances, or acutely

h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, X
injury or death involving wildland fires, including where
wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where
residences are intermixed with wildlands?
Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will result in a less than significant impact in the creation
of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all
applicable health laws during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is
found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of
this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will result in a less than significant impact due to risk of
explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of accident or upset conditions.
The Fire Department reviewed this project according to the information provide by the applicant and
found that there should be minimal hazards if designed, built, and used according to the submitted
plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

No Impact. This project site is not, nor is it located near, a site that is included on a list of hazardous
materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 that would create a significant
hazard to the public or the environment. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
7.e.,f.
No Impact. The project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a
public or private airstrip. The nearest airport is French Valley, whose runway is approximately four (4)
miles to the north and west. The proposed project falls outside of the Traffic Pattern Zone as
determined for the French Valley Airport. No impact upon airport uses will result from this proposal.
No Impact. The project will take access from maintained public streets and will therefore not impede
emergency response or evacuation plans. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with flammable brush,
grass, or trees. The project is a commercial village surrounded by single-family residences. In the
development of the site the applicant will be eliminating existing potentially flammable brush. The

Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements. The project is required to comply with the requirements of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control
Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is
shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be
mitigated to a level that is less than significant. A less than significant impact is anticipated as a result
of this project.
Lb.f. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The project will not have an affect on the
quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals or through
R:~D P~2002'~02-0273 Meadow Village~lnitial Study.doc
11
interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge
capability. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact
on ground waters or aquifer volume. A less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this
project.
B.o.d.
Less Than Significant ImpacL The proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern of the site or area in a manner, which would result in substantial erosion or siltation and/or
flooding on- or off-site. Some changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount
of surface runoff is expected whenever development occurs on previously permeable ground.
Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying
hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts
shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances are required for the project to safely
and adequately handle runoff that is created. As designed the proposed project would have a less
than significant impact on the existing facilities.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project is not anticipated to create or contribute runoff water,
which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The project is conditioned to accommodate the
drainage created as a result of the development of the subject site. In addition, the project is
conditioned so that the drainage will not impact surrounding properties. A less than significant impact
is associated with this project.
8.g. No Impact. This project represents a development plan for a commercial user within an area zoned
for commercial uses. No residential property is affected; rio impact is associated with this project.
No Impac£ The project will have no impact on people or property to water related hazards such as
flooding because the project site is located outside of the 100-year floodway as identified in the City of
Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (Figure 7-3) and the Flood Insurance Rate
Map Community-Panel Number 0607420005B. No potential for exposure to significant flood hazards
will occur from developing the project site as proposed. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
8.i.j. No Impact. The project site is not subject to inundation by sieche, tsunami, or mudflow, as these
events are not known to happen in this region. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

are anticipated.
.b.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The project as proposed is not consistent with
the General Plan, nor is it consistent with the Margarita Village Specific Plan. The underlying General
Plan Land Use and the zoning designation for the site are Neighborhood Commercial. The applicant
has requested to amend the General Plan Land Use and zoning designation to Community
Commemial, which will need to be approved in order for the proposed project to be consistent.
Therefore, the following mitigation measure must be implemented.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
The proposed General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment shall be approved prior to the
approval of the Development Plan.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project is located within the fee area for the Stephen's Kangaroo
Rat (SKR) Long-Term Habitat Conservation Plan. All development within this fee area is required to
pay a one-time mitigation fee. As a consequence, a less than significant impact is anticipated.
10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:

Comments:
10.a.b. No Impact. The project will not result in the loss of available, known mineral resources or in the loss
of an available, locally important mineral resource recovery site. The State Geologist has classified
the City of Temecula a classification of MRZ-3a, containing areas of sedimentary deposits, which have
the potential for supplying sand and gravel for concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, it
has been determined that this area contains no deposits of significant economic value based upon
available data in a report entitled Mineral Land Classification of the Temescal Vallev Area, Riverside
County, California, Special Report 165, prepared in accordance with the Surface Mining and
Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
11.a.c.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project is located on a 9.77-
acre site directly adjacent to single-family residences. The City of Temecula's General Plan has
identified residents as sensitive receptors. A 65 CNEL has been adopted as the maximum exterior
noise level acceptable for sensitive receptors. The CNEL is an average equivalent A-weighted sound
level during a 24-hour day, obtained after addition of five decibels to sound levels in the evening from
7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and after addition of ten decibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 a.m.
and after 10:00 p.m. The proposed site and residences are separated by a fifty-foot landscape slope
and grade elevations varying from 16 feet to 30 feet. According to the Noise Impact Analysis prepared
for the Meadows Village project by Urban Crossroads, dated May 31, 2001, the primary source of
noise on the project site is primarily from vehicles traveling on Rancho California and Meadows
Village. The existing noise levels exceed the 65 dBA CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) that
are acceptable for the existing residential homes as adopted in the Noise Element of the General Plan
The study indicates that the existing noise contours exceed the required 65 dBA CNEL as far as 419
feet onto the site. The noise contours with the project indicate that the 65 dBA CNEL will be exceeded
as far as 504 feet onto the site. A number of the adjacent residences fall within this distance, which
will need to be mitigated. Therefore, the following mitigation measures will be implemented.
REQUIRED MITIGATION MEASURES
6. All loading and storage areas shall be located in the least intrusive areas of the site.
7. All loading areas adjacent to sensitive receptors shall be screened with sound walls to mitigate
the noise generated by delivery trucks.
8. Provide a 9-foot high parapet wall that will block the line of site from the backyard of the nearby
homes to the exposed roof and ventilation systems of Building A and Building F.
9. Restrict the hours of deliveries to not permit deliveries between the hours 10:00 p.m. to 7:00
a.m.
10. Reduce delivery truck noise by requiring engines to be turned off during delivery operations.
11.b.
Less Than Significant ImpacL The uses conducted by the project are not activities that would
expose persons to or generate excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels.
Although there will be an increase in ground borne vibration and noise during grading and
construction, these will be of a temporary and short duration. Due to the limited nature of this
exposure and by maintaining compliance with the City Noise Ordinance there will be a less than
significant impacts.
11 .d.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project may result in temporary or periodic increases in ambient
noise levels during construction. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of
100+ DBA at 100 feet, which is considered annoying. However, this source of noise from construction
of the project will be of short duration and therefore would not be considered significant. Furthermore,
R:~) F'~2002~02-O273 Meadow Village",l nitial Study.doc
construction activity will comply with City ordinances regulating the hours of activity. A less than
significant impact would be anticipated.
1 .e.f. No Impact. This project is not within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, therefore,
employees working in the project area will not be exposed to excessive noise levels generated by an
airport. Consequently no impact is anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
12.a.b.c.
No Impact. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The
project site is a commercial in-fill site surrounded by single-family residences. The project will not
displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing, as the site is developed with commercial
uses within a commercial zone. Additionally, the project site is located within an existing commercial
area, which does not permit residential development. The project will neither displace housing nor
people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing. No impacts are anticipated as a result
of this project.

Comments:
13.a.b.c.e.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a
need for new or altered fire, police, recreation or other public facilities. The project will incrementally
increase the need for some services. However, the project will contribute its fair share through City
Development Impact Fees to be used to provide public facilities. Less than significant impacts are
anticipated.
13.d.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a
need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to
relocate within or to the City. The cumulative effect from the project will be mitigated through the
payment of applicable School Fees. Less than significant impacts are anticipated.
13.f.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a
need for new or altered public facilities. The Rancho California Water District and the Riverside
Department of Environmental Health have been made aware of this project. A condition of approval
has been placed on this project that will require the proponent to obtain '~Nill Serve" letters from all of
the public utilities agencies. Service is currently provided for the surrounding residential homes, so
extending service to this site is probable, which would result in less than significant impacts as a result
of the project.

Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact, The project site is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial, which
is also the land use assumed in the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan. According to the
Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by the traffic-engineering firm of Urban Crossroads, the proposed
Community Commercial land uses within the proposed project will generate less daily and AM/PM
peak hour traffic than the current zoning of Community Commercial. In addition the project is
consistent with General Plan goals and polices of maintaining a Level of Service "D" or better at all
intersections within the City during peak hours. The proposed project is not anticipated to cause
significant impacts to the existing traffic system within the City of Temecula. Additionally, the City's
Traffic Engineer reviewed the cumulative impacts during the approval process and has determined
that the project's traffic impacts warrant no further study or mitigations.
15.c.d. No Impact. The proposed development of this property will not result in a change in air traffic patterns
by increasing the traffic levels in the vicinity. The site is not within the French Valley Airport's flight
overlay district. The design of the project will not pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the
people utilizing the roads in the vicinity of the project because there are no sharp curves or dangerous
intersections proposed. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.e.
No Impact, The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses.
The project, as designed, complies with current City standards and has adequate emergency access.
No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.f.
No Impact. The proposed development complies with the City's Development Code parking
requirements for commercial uses. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
R:~D FA2002~02-0273 Meadow Village\Initial Study.doc
17
15.g.
No Impact. The project site is located on a road that has access to public transportation. The project
as proposed does not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation. Because the project does not propose to significantly increase its employee base,
alternative transportation programs specifically designed for this project are not necessary. The
project will be required to provide bicycle racks at a rate of 1 rack per 20 required parking space per
the Development Code.

f. Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to X
accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs?
g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and X
regulations related to solid waste?
Comments:
16.a.b.e.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements,
require the construction of new treatment facilities, nor affect the capacity of treatment providers. The
project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. However, the Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "implementation of the proposed General
Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services." Since the project is consistent with the City's
General Plan, less than significant impacts ara anticipated as a result of this project.
16.c.
No Impact. The Drainage Study prepared for the underlying Tentative Parcel Map No. 22513
indicated that the amount of runoff from the project is not anticipated to be any greater than what was
anticipated by construction of the site. Consequently, construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities is not anticipated.
16.d.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not significantly impact existing water supplies nor
require expanded water entitlements. The project will have an incremental effect upon existing~
systems. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final~l'
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have
R:',D P\2002~02-O273 Meadow Village\Initial Study.doc
18
indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR
further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact
wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
.g.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not result in a need for new landfill capacity. Any
potential impacts from solid waste created by this development can be mitigated through participation
in Soume Reduction and Recycling Programs, which are implemented by the City. Less than
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
17.a.
No Impact. The project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment on site
or in the vicinity of the project. The site lies within an existing residential area and has been zoned to
accommodate commemial development. The project will not substantially reduce the habitat of fish or
wildlife because the site has been previously graded. No historic resources are anticipated to be
impacted because grading has already occurred on the site.
17.b.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The cumulative effects from the project are
significant but they are being mitigated to less than significant levels with the incorporated mitigation.
Ail cumulative effects for the various land uses of the subject site as well as the surrounding
developments were analyzed in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report. With the mitigation
measures in place, the project will be consistent with the General Plan and Development Cede, the
cumulative impacts related to the future development will not have a significant impact.
17.o.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not have environmental effects that would cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, directly or indirectly. The commemial component will
be designed and developed consistent with the Development Code, and the General Plan. No
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
General Plan Amendment
The applicant requests a General Plan Amendment to amend the General Plan Land Use
designation from Neighborhood Commemial to Community Commercial. The current Land Use
Designation was adopted November 9, 1993. As defined in the Land Use Element of the General
Plan, the intent of the Neighborhood Commercial designation is to allow smaller-scale business
activities, which generally provide retail, or convenience services for the local residents in the
surrounding neighborhood. The purpose of the Community Commercial designation is to allow
larger-scale retail, professional office, and service-oriented business activities, which serve the
entire community.
Specific Plan Amendment
The site is located within the Margarita Village Specific Plan area, which was approved by the
County in 1986. The applicant requests a Specific Plan Amendment to amend the land use
designation of Planning Area 19 from Neighborhood Commercial to Community Commercial and
also amend the text within the specific plan. The proposed revised text changes have been included
as Attachment. Following is a summary of the key proposed text changes:
· Addition of the Commercial Architectural Design Guidelines (Section c).
· Addition of the Site Design Guidelines (Section d).
· Modification of the acreage in Planning Area 19 from 6.2-acres as stated in the text of the
Margarita Village Specific Plan No. 5 to 9.7-acres as reflected on the recorded Parcel Map
No. 22513 (recorded October 14, 1987).
· Amendment of text references to the zoning standards for Planning Area 19 from the
Neighborhood Commercial District in Section 17.08.040 of the Development Code to the
Community Commercial District.
· Amendment of text references to the permitted uses for Planning Area 19 from the
Neighborhood Commercial District in Section 17.08.030 of the Development Code to the
Community Commercial District.
· Repagination due to the previously mentioned additions to the Specific Plan.
Development Plan
The applicant is requesting a Development Plan approval for the design, construction and operation
of a 48,427 square foot grocery store, a 16,640 square foot drug store, and four additional retail
shops of 11,230 square feet, 8,780 square feet, 6,220 square feet and 4,670 square feet.
The proposed access te the site will be taken from two driveway entrances along Meadows Parkway
and two driveway entrances off Rancho California Road. The majority of the parking for the site has
been located in front of the grocery store. The remainder of the parking has been located in front of
the proposed shop buildings.
The grocery store has been sited at the rear of the site directly adjacent to the existing single-family
residences. Shop E and Shop F have also been sited directly adjacent to the exiting residences.
The proposed drug store has been sited nearest to the corner of Rancho California and Meadows
Parkway, with the proposed drive through oriented towards the intersection.

Conditional Use Permit
A Conditional Use Permit is required to operate a drive through at the proposed drug store, and to
permit the sale of alcohol at grocery store and drug store. At this time, the applicant has not
submitted an application with the State Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC), so staff is unable to
determine whether Findings of Public Convenience or Necessity will be required.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Amendment
The applicant's primary reason for requesting a General Plan Amendment is to facilitate
construction of a 48,427 square foot grocery store, which would not be permitted under the current
Neighborhood Commercial land use designation. Staff cannot support the amendment request,
because it would represent a fundamental shift in land use policy for the site, from a neighborhood-
serving retail village to a higher intensity commemial center that targets a much broader regional
area.
Public comments received at the neighborhood meeting and throughout the review of this
application indicate that the proposed project may create nuisance visual and noise impacts to the
nearby residents. Given the topography and proposed design of the site, neighbors were concerned
that the rooftop views and loading operation of the grocery store were an unnecessary and
unacceptable alternative to a neighborhood retail village.
As was previously mentioned, the current land use designation for the site was adopted by the City
Council November 9, 1993, as part of the General Plan. At the time of adoption, the goals and
polices of the Land Use Element emphasized compatibility between future urban development and
the existing single-family residences within the community. It was further stated that residents
desire adequate buffering from non-residential uses in terms of light, noise, traffic impacts and
negative visual impacts. The proposed land use designation of Community Commercial will result in
a level of commercial activity that is not compatible with the surrounding residential uses. General
Plan Land Use Goal 3 recommends the adoption of a land use pattern that will protect and enhance
residential neighborhoods, it is the opinion of staff that the proposed amendment does not protect
or enhance the existing single-family homes.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is also inconsistent with the Community Design Element.
The element is states that standards need to be carefully developed for the Development Code to
achieve a scale of development that is in balance with surrounding area. Goal 3 of this element
states "preservation and enhancement of the positive qualities of individual districts or
neighborhoods". In the discussion portion of Goal 3, the preservation of the character of the single-
family neighborhoods and their protection from intrusions from buildings that are "out of scale", is of
particular importance. The proposed land use change will permit future development that is "out of
scale" in relation to the nearby homes.
Staff has concluded that the current Neighborhood Commercial designation and the typical
activities, which provide retail or convenience services for the local residents in surrounding
neighborhood is compatible with the existing neighborhoods in the area. The proposed land use
designation of Community Commercial, which provides retail, professional office, and service-
oriented business activities for the entire community is not compatible with the existing single-family
neighborhood to the south.
R:',D P~2002\02~273 Meadow Village~Staff Report PC.doc

Specific Plan Amendment
The proposed amendment of the Margarita Village Specific Plan to change the land use designation
from Neighborhood Commemial to Community Commemial is not consistent with the General Plan.
As previously stated, staff does not support the request and is recommending denial of the
proposed General Plan Amendment. Therefore, the Specific Plan Amendment cannot be approved
if the General Plan Amendment is denied.
The original intent of Planning Area 19 was to provide a variety of neighborhood retail commemial
and service uses for Margarita Village residents. The proposal is a request to deviate from the
odginal intent and provide services for the entire community. Staff does not support the proposed
amendment because of its incompatibility with the General Plan and the existing single-family
residences.
Development Plan
The proposed Development Plan is not consistent with the General Plan nor is it consistent with the
Margarita Village Specific Plan. The proposed grocery store is not a permitted use in the
Neighborhood Commercial zoning district (Development Code Section 17.08.030).
During the review process, staff expressed numerous concerns to the applicant about the proposed
development plan (see attached DRC letter). The applicant resubmitted a revised site plan on
September 20, 2002, but did not address all of the concerns expressed during DR(3. The following
is a list of outstanding concerns that staff has with the proposed development plan:
· The access point on Rancho California nearest to the intersection creates internal
circulation conflicts
· The proposed site plans lack pedestrian linkages to encourage non-vehicle use.
· The large parking field in front of the grocery store is unsightly from Rancho California
Road.
· The location of the drive thru is unsightly and close to a major intersection.
· The location of loading areas inhibits pedestrian experience and creates noise conflicts.
· The location of building E is segregated from site and backs onto Meadows Parkway.
· The location of building F requires unsafe crossings by pedestrians.
· Outside gathering spots are insufficient and require unsafe pedestrian crossings.
· The location of trash enclosures will create unsightly appearance at main entries.
Should the Planning Commission and/or City Council support the General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan Amendment, staff would request that the site plan be revised to address staffs
concems.
Conditional Use Permit
Staff has determined that the required findings necessary to approve the Conditional Use Permit
cannot be made at this time, because of insufficient information from ABC and unclear status of the
prerequisite land use approvals. In addition, staff does not support the location of the drive thru, so
it is premature to make conclusive findings for approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Although CEQA does not require an environmental nview for denied projects, staff has prepared an
Initial Study, in the event that the Planning Commission and City Council consider the applications
for approval. Staff has determined that the project could potentially result in significant
environmental impacts, unless mitigation measures arc included in a Mitigation Monitoring Program.
Staff has cimulated the Initial Study for public review, but has also requested additional acoustical
information from the applicant, which has not been submitted at the time of this writing. It is
anticipated that the applicant will provide the minor additional information prior to the end of the 20-
day circulation pedod for the Initial Study. Based on the rccommendation of denial, staff
recommends that no environmental action be taken on this project.
CONCLUSION ! RECOMMENDATION
Staff has determined that the proposed General Plan Amendment is not consistent with all of the
goals and policies of the General Plan. Staff is rccommending that the Planning Commission
recommend denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment. If the General Plan is denied, then
the rcmainder of the applications will not be consistent with the General Plan and must be denied as
well.
FINDINGS:
In support of the recommendation of denial, the following findings must be made:
General Plan Amendment
The proposed amendment is not compatible with the adjacent single-family residences,
because the land use change would permit future development that would be "out of scale"
and not compatible with the surrounding homes. The intent of the proposed Community
Commercial land use designation is to serve the entire community, which would not be
compatible with the surrounding residential setting. The existing land use designation of
Neighborhood Commemial is compatible with the surrounding land uses and should not be
amended.
As stated in the Overview section of the General Plan, "every general plan amendment must
be consistent with the rest of the general plan". The requested amendment to the General
Plan Land Use designation from Neighborhood Commemial to Community Commemial will
not be consistent with the rest of the General Plan. The proposed land use Land Use
Element goal number 3, requircs a land use pattern that will protect and enhance rcsidential
neighborhoods be adopted. The current land use map is meeting this goal; a change of the
land use to Community Commemial will be in conflict with this goal.
Policy 3.1 states "Consider the compatibility of proposed projects on surrounding uses in
terms of size and configuration of buildings, use of materials and landscaping, preservation
of existing vegetation and landform, the location of access mutes, noise impacts, traffic
impacts, and other environmental conditions". The proposed amendment will permit uses
that arc not compatible with the existing single-family homes.
Goal number 3 of the Community Design Element, states that the preservation of the
character of the single-family neighborhoods and their protection from intrusions from
buildings that are "out of scale", is of particular importance. The proposed amendment is not
consistent with this goal by permitting future development that is "out of scale" in relation to
the existing homes.

Specific Plan Amendment
The proposed specific plan amendment is not consistent with the current land use
designation for the General Plan, because the proposal requests Community Commercial,
and the General Plan designates the site as Neighborhood Commercial.
The proposal will have an adverse effect on surrounding properbj because it is significant
change to the planned land use of the site and is inconsistent with the overall concept of the
Margarita Village Specific Plan in that it introduces larger-scale commercial adjacent to
single-family homes.
The proposal is not compatible with the surrounding land uses. The amendment requests to
intensify the proposed uses and scale of the site and this will create conflicts with the
surrounding single-family development.
Development Plan (Section 17.05.010F)
The proposed grocery store is not in conformance with the current General Plan land use
designation of Neighborhood Commercial. The use is also not a permitted use in the
Neighborhood Commercial zoning district.
The project as proposed is not compatible with the surrounding single-family residences.
The proposed project has not taken into account the general welfare of the surrounding
property owners. The site plan has sited proposed buildings adjacent to the nearby
residents. Loading areas and trash enclosures have also been located near the adjacent
residences. The proposed site plan has access issues, as well as site design issues that will
need to be addressed in the form of a redesign.
Conditional Use Permit (17.04.010E)
The proposed conditional use is not consistent with the General Plan and the Development
Code. The proposed grocery store is not a permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial
zoning district.
The nature of the proposed conditional use may be detrimental to the general welfare of the
community due to a potential over-concentration of alcohol outlets in the Census tract.
However, there are insufficient facts available to make an affirmative finding.
10.
That the decision to deny the application for a conditional use permit is based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the planning commission.

(3) TRADE AREA ANALYSIS AND SUBDMSION ACTIVITY LISTING:
RESULTS OFSTUDY- This section ties together all the data on the Demographic Aerial
Illustration and the Subdivision Activity Aerial Illustration to produce concrete existing and future
poPulation figures. On the "Existing Demographic Chart" you will see data that was displayed on the-
Demographic Aerial fllastration. This analysis is completed on each area and calculates an 'updated
population estimate for each trade area. Also calculated per area is the number of housing units. With
respect to average persons per household, mean household income and mean value of housing, this
analysis outlines averages for each area. To define which area is being analyzed, reference the boxed
area at the top of the chart
The next chart is called the "Future Population Chart". On each area you will have both an "Existing
Demographic Chart" and a "Future Population Chart". The two tie together in the following manner -
Column 4 on the Existing Demographic Chart gives you an updated estimated population number for"
the subject area. By taking this number over to Column 4 on the Future Population Chart, we can now
move forward in defining further population growth.
· The FutUre Population Chart essentially breaks down the data displayed on the Subdivision Activity
Illustration. By' calculating the number'of dwelling units that fall within each area, we can determine~. · '
how many units will be built. Furthermore, by gatheringlnput from respective builders on each
subdivision, DDS can project when units may be completed.
The final section of this report is called the "Subdivision Activity.Listing". Bnsically,-this section gives
details on residential subdivisions that are outlined on the Subdivision Activity Aerial Illustration.
Please note, the subdivisions in this report do have aerial location numbers so easy reference is made to
the.specific location on the Subdivision Activity Aerial Illustration. As mentioned earlier, DDS called a
majority of residential developers active in the subject area. The details of these conversations are
found in this section and are often helpful in understanding the potential growth outlined in this stvdy.

As of October 2000, 28,228 people live in a 2-Mile Radius of the subject.. The 2-Mile Radius Trade Area
ptimatedto ~nerience a 13% increase in population by 2002 from 28,228 people (2000) to 31,991
le (2002). l~s projected another 1,243 units will be built by 2002. At build out of all units
proposed, an impressive 73% increase in population is projected, bringing total persons to 48,828.
The 2-Mile Extended East Trade Area has an estimated 29,790 residents (October 2000). This trade
area is comprised of the 2-Mile Radius and approximately four miles east including the Glen Oaks
community of roughly 400 high-end homes (see page 0SB for boundaries of trade area). By 2002, a 13%
increase in population is projected, and at total build out, the estimated population will reflect a71%
increase (an additional 6,968 units). Respectively, the 2-Mile Extended East Trade Area's population is
estimated at 33,554 people (2002) and 50,889 people (at build out of all units currently proposed).
Details on the figures for the subject trade areas can be found in Chapter H, page #9 - Trade Area
Analysis.
The primary purpose of this report is to estimate existing and future population figures around the
subject location. 'The following three items outline details on how we arrive at our estimates:
(1) DEMOGRAPHIC AERIAL ILLUSTRATION:
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA - Broken down by sectors, this data consists of estimated updates on
population, number of housing units, average persons per household, median income and finally media~i.
value of housing. All of this data is estimated and gathered in several different ways depending on the ..
area that is being studied. For detail~ on. how DDS arrives at these figures in this study, please reference
"Basis of Estimates" at the end of this report.
(2} SUBDIVISION ACTMTY KERIAI~ ILLU~TRATION:
· RESIDENTIAL SUBDMSIONACTIVITY- This information is gathered from the respective
planning departments. In additlon,'DDS has called approximately 85% - 95% of the residential
developers With actiVe subdivisions within the subject area. Thepurpose of thi~ data is to forecast how
many more people Will be living in the area in the future. The Subdivision Activity ~lustration shows
all active residential developments with a status of Design Plan Check to Recently Buil/. To define the
status, simply look at the color of tape with which the subdivision is outlined. The status and respective
tape color are defmed on the "Legend** loeated on the Subdivision Activity Aerial lllus_tratiOn. In
addition, n number is oufllned in.each subdiViSion. To review more data on each subdivision simply
match the number with its appropriate tag also loeated on the Subdivision Activity Aerial Illustration..
Specific Plans on this illustration are outlined in white and labeled. Specific P. lans are large r~idential'
developments. The residential units .in these developments are broken down In several categories and
are Hsted in the Specific Plan section of this report.

· Meadows Village is on approximately 9.6 acres and will feature roughly 91,693 square feet of building
area (see page g6, Site Plan). The project is centrally located wi{hin residential projects both existing .
and proposed. Adjacent to Meadows Village is the approved community plan "Margarita Village",
proposing 4,058 units (approximately 3,100 units already built). Just south of Meadows Village are four
more large communities including Paseo Del Sol (3,237 units), Crowne Hill 0,054 units), Vail Ranch
o 5
units) and Red Hawk (4,105 units). As these neighborhoods continue to develop, the immediate..
met b~se for Meadows Village will continue to grow dramatically.
