Summary of Changes A. Specific Plan The Margarita Village Specific Plan (SP No. 199) was originally adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on August 26, 1986 through Resolution No. 86-355. Spocific Plan Amandment No. 1 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 6, 1988 via Resolution No. 88-471. Upon incorporation by the City of Temecula in 1989, Margarita Village was in the jurisdiedon of the City. Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 was approved by the Temecula City Council on March 26, 1996. Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 was approved by the Temecula City Council on October 7, 1997. Specific Plan Amendment No. 4 was approved by the Temecnla City Council on February 10, 1998. Specific Plan Amendment No, $ was approved by the Temecula City Council on October 10, 2000. 1. Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines, contained in Section I~ of the Specific Plan, were added tba'ough Amendment No. 1 and apply throughout the MARGARITA VnlAGE Specific Plan area. Adhering to the village concept of the plan, these guidelines establish architectural and landscape architectural design criteria for each of the three villages within the project. The design criteria for each village are distinctive, yet consistency and compatibility is maintained throughout the project. These Design Guidelines have been updated through Amendment No. 3 to reflect the shift in Village "A" from a retirement community to a predominantly family-oriented community. Wording has been added to the Specific Plan that gives the Director of Community Development the authority to allow minor variations from Specific Plan standards and design guidelines without a Specific Plan Amendment. 2. Additional Property Approximately 127 acres of land was added to the Specific Plan by Amendment No. 1. This 127- acre area is located south of Rancho Vista Road and west of Butterfield Stage Road in the southeast comer of the property. 3. Land Use Changes The following is a summary of land use changes proposed as a part of Specific Plan Amendments No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3: a. Post Office A 5.0+ acre site (Planning Area 32A) was designated in Specific Plan Amendment No. 1 for post office use on the southeast comer of Rancho California and Margarita Roads. This use is compatible with the commercial and multi-family uses approved for adjacent properties at this intersection. As part of Specific Plan Amendment No. 1, the church site nearby (Planning Area 31) Specific Plan No. 3, Amendment No. 6 PageI-! Marl~arita Villal~e I. Summa~ o£ Chanses B. Amendment No. 6 The following is a summary of the changes proposed as part of Specific Plan Amendment No. 6. 1. Design Guidelines Commercial development is permitted in Planning Area 19, which is located within Village "C'. Architectural and Site Design Guidelines have been developed to assure high-quality development and compatibility with adjacent residential uses located in Planning Area 14. The Architectural Design Guidelines are contained in Section "c' of Section III (Design Guidelines). The Site Design Guidelines are contained in Section "d' Section HI (Design Guidelines). Additional language has been added to Village "C' Landscaping Requirements, Section "b' Plant Materials Palette. This language states: "Additional Plan material, not included on the following palette, may be allowed at the discretion of the Director of Planning". This will allow flexibility in plant choices which will still meet the intent of the Specific Plan. 2. Planning Area 19 Acreage The acreage contained within Planning Area 19 has been modified from 6.2 acres to 9.7 acres. The acreage has been clarified due to the acreage reflected on the Meadows Village site plan. 3. Repaginafion Due to the addition of the Commercial Architectural and Site Design Guidelines, existing pages I11-32 through III-117 will become pages Ili-43 through III-128.

Proiect Development Plan h. Project Roadways All public project roadways outside of Village "A" will be designed and constructed to standards acceptable to the City of Temecula and will therefore be entered into the City's system of roads for operation and maintenance. All roadways within Village "A" will be designed and constructed to standards shown and described in the Circulation plan of the Margarita Village Specific Plan. These standards are acceptable to the Temecula City Engineer. At the developer's option, the roadways in Village "A" may be either publicly or privately owned and maintained. c. Commercial Component It is anticipated that the population of MARGARITA VILLAGE will be served by retail commercial center sited on 6.2 9.7 acres at the intersection of Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkq~ay. (See Figure II-3, Specific Plan Use Plan.) Planning Area 19 (6-_~ 9.7 acres) contains these commercial uses which form the center of the minor eastern Village Core. Most of the commercial uses proposed will be convenience retail. Pedestrian walkways adjacent to roadways will extend fi.om Village "A" housing to the commercial site at the comer of Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway. (Please see Section e., Major Collector Road and Public Facilities System.) Additional recreational facilities will be contained within the recreation center in Village "A". d. Open Space Component A major unifying element of the MARGARITA VILLAGE community is the Open Space and Recreation Plan (see Figure 11-7). This program incorporates many diverse elements in a coordinated cohesive plan that interrelates with the Entry and Roadway Hierarchy Plan (see Figure 11-6), to strengthen and reinforce the strong sense of community design for MARGARITA VILLAGE. 1) Open Space Slopes and Drainage A significant portion of the project site (178.8 acres) is being retained as open space slopes and drainage facilities. By preserving slope areas in open space, several design and planning objectives of the Specific Plan are met. Site planning responds to the site's natural topography. Slope areas provide an attractive naturalistic backdrop for MARGARITA VILLAGE neighborhoods. 2) Golf Course and Clubhouse A 141.0-acre golf course is planned in the center of Village "A," offering recreational oppommities and scenic vistas for residents. A clubhouse/recreation center will be located near the project entry off of Rancho California Road. This facility will serve as an activity hub for neighborhood residents and shall include facilities such as a pool, spa, cabana, exercise facilities, kitchen facilities, and other passive and active recreational uses.

Specific Plan No. 3, Amendment No. 6 Page II-75 ×/ Mar[larita Villal~e Ill. Design Guidelines "A" is planned as a recreation-oriented community containing a variety of housing types and densities organized around a central 18-hole golf course facility. It is expected that each village will develop its own character and ambiance. Furthermore, it is intended that each village theme be expressed in coordination with the project setting, which serves as a basis around which key elements of the community can be developed. 1. Village "A" Village "A" is proposed as an optionally gated neighborhood containing approximately 1,546 attached and detached dwelling units. An 18-hole golf course will contain a clubhouse and several lakes and watercourses. Village "A" will also include a 12.5-acre community park. In conceiving a design theme for Village "A", an early California Spanish theme has been selected. All landscaping, paving, and architecture should strongly reflect this motif. 2. Village "B" Village "B" will contain 610 single family detached dwellings. The various communities within Village "B" will also include very low to medium-low density housing. Also included in this Village is an 11.5-acre community park and various manufactured slopes and greenbelts. In addition, an elementary school is planned on 13 acres just north of La Serena Way. The basic architectural theme is on that blends Spanish, Mediterranean and French manor styles. 3. Village "C" A 6.2 9.7 acre commercial center is proposed in Village "C" at the southeast corner of the intersection of Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway and will include neighborhood commercial uses. Village "C" will include a combined elementary school and park on 14.3 acres, an 11-acre school administration center, a church on a 5.3-acre parcel, and a 5-acre site for a post office. Approximately 1,770 dwelling units are proposed in Village "C". The intent of Village "C" has been to establish an environment that responds to existing surrounding ranch and equestrian communities as the area becomes increasingly urbanized. For this reason, Village "C" should reflect or draw upon a "traditional California" theme. This theme should reflect the character of rural California and be reflected in the architecture, signage, landscaping, and entry treatments within the Village. Specific Plan No. 5, Amendment No. 6 Page III-2 Mar[~arita villai~e III. Design Guidelines 4. Village "C" Architectural Guidelines a. Introduction Village "C' contains residential and commercial development. The residential component of Village "C" will have a "traditional California" architectural theme. Buildings and accessory structures should be visually "low-key". The primary siding material will be wood, either painted, stained, or rough-sawn and treated with a semi-wansparent preservative. Guidelines pertaining to residential development are listed below under Section "b'. Commercial deyelopment is permitted in Planning Area 19, which is located within Village "C'. Architectural and Site Design Guidelines have been developed to assure high-quality development and compatibility with adjacent residential uses located in Planning Area 14. The Architectural Design Guidelines are contained in Section "c' below. The Site Design Guidelines are contained in Section "d' below. b. ~::..'!a~ag ..~lag:~ Ferm a--a-. ~ca!e Residential Architectural Guidelines 1. Building Mass, Form and Scale Whenever possible, incorporate the following elements into buildings and structures in Village "C": Use simple rectangular forms to connect building volumes and to provide architectural continuity. In addition, the use of angles in floor plans should be limited. Create architectural interest by articulating wall planes (i.e. recessing and projecting walls), below a continuous horizontal roof line. Emphasize horizontal architectural lines such as ridge and fascia lines. Visually break-up two story elevations with offset stories, changes in materials, or sloping rooflines. · 7' Avoid using oblique angles in building plans and elevations. Avoid satisfying minimum setback requirements only. Structures of two or more stories should be setback in excess of the minimum required setbacks whenever possible.

Design Guidelines Village "C" Landscaping Guidelines Pro,iect Streetscenes The landscape development associated with the streetscenes along Margarita Road, La Serena Way, Rancho California Road, Meadows Parkway, Butterfield Stage Road, Rancho Vista Road, and Pauba Road is uniform and consistent with the existing City of Temecula community wide streetseenes. As a general guideline to the landscape treatment of the planting areas throughout the project, the landscape character of the above referenced major streetscenes is presented herein. Refer to the appropriate plan view and elevation exhibits for graphic presentation of the following descriptions: 1) Major and Secondary Landscape Streetscene Landscape Development The landscape development associated with the perimeter project streetseenes along Margarita Road, La Serena Way, Rancho California Road, Meadows Parkway, Butterfield Stage Road, Rancho Vista Road, and Pauba Road consists of: Informal street ~ree groupings; Evergreen background and deciduous accent grove trees; Project thematic masomy wall or combination masomy wall and tubular steel fence w/th pilasters; and, A hierarchy of enh~ monumentation. 2) Project Entry Accent Trees 3) California Pepper (Schinus molle) and Italian Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) are the primary evergreen canopy theme trees utilized at points of project emphasis throughout MARGARITA VILLAGE. As such, they represent foreground specimen accent trees at major and minor project entry monumentation features. These trees are also repeated at significant points throughout the community. Such applications logically include, street intersections and changes in street direction where a reinforcement of the project theme tree twill be recognized and will serve a functional purpose. The development at the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway may vary from the above requirements to use the California Pepper and Italian Stone Pine, but shah incorporate evergreen canopy tl~eme trees that support and enhance the theme of the commercial project at that location. Evergreen Background Grove Trees Eucalyptus species and Pine trees are utilized as informal vertical evergreen background grove trees on slopes along major perimeter streetscenes. The Aleppo Pine is not planted along Rancho California Road. These trees may be used to block or to frame views. Wherever possible and logical, these evergreen grove trees are extended from primary streetscenes into planting areas as background trees in order to provide visual transitions and to unify the different parcels. Specific Plan No. 3, Amendment No. 6 (Riverside County Specific Plan No. 199) Page III-80 Margarita Village III. Design Guidelines 4) Deciduous Accent Trees London Plane (Platanus acerifolia) and Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) are deciduous accent trees occurring in random groupings among the evergreen background grove trees. These trees provide visual highlights and seasonal interest among the evergreen trees. 5) Informal Street Tree Groupings Street trees occur in random informal groupings along the major and secondary highway landscape streetscenes. These medium scale uniform trees serve a deciduous foreground elements providing summer shade and permitting welcome winter sun. Other applications of these trees include interior residential street trees or as informal grove trees in the Long Valley greenbelt drainage corridor adjacent to Rancho California Road. Each major perimeter project streetscene has as single street tree variety identifying that street. This also aids in unifying the various neighborhoods, which occur along each streetscene. 6) Perimeter Project Street Trees STREET TREES PLANTPALETTE Margarita Road La Serena Way Rancho California Road Butterfield Stage Road Meadows Parkway Pinus halepensis (Aleppo Pine) dlnus rhombifolia (White Alder) Platanus acerifolia (London Plane Tree) Pistacia chinensis (Chinese Pistache) Ceratonia siliqua (Carob) Albiziajutibrissin (Mimosa Tree) Note: Ceratonia siliqua (Carob) and Albiziajulibrissin (Mimosa Tree) shall prevail over the trees listed in Figure III-39, "Meadows Parkway Street Scene" (Ceratonia siliqua and Eucalyptus species) Rancho Vista Road Pinus halepensis (Aleppo Pine) Pauba Road Schinus molle (California Pepper) b. Plant Materials Palette It is the intent of these guidelines to provide flexibility and diversity in plant material selection, while maintaining a limited palette in order to give greater unity and thematic identity to the community. The plant material lists have been selected for their appropriateness to the project theme, climatic conditions, soil conditions and concern for maintenance. A limited selection of materials utilized in simple, significant composition complimentary to adjacent common landscape areas, while reinforcing the individual architectural and site setting, is encouraged. Specific Plan No. 3, Amendment No. 6 (Riverside County Specific Plan No. 199) Page III-88 Margarita village III. Design Guidelines Overall plant material selection for given project areas, wherever possible, shall have compatible drought resistant characteristics. Irrigation programming can then be designed to minimize water application for the entire landscaping setting. The limited plant material selection for common landscape areas associated with Margarita Village as described in the text is contained in the following palette. Additional plant material, not included on the following palette, may be allowed at the discretion of the Director of Planning. In addition, a wider variety of plant materials compatible with the project theme and setting is listed for use by Builder Landscape Architects in the selection of materials for model home complex developments, patio home common areas, etc. BOTANICAL NAME Trees - Evergreen Arbutus unedo Brachychiton populneus Cedru~ deodara Eucalyptu~ polyanthemos Eucalyptus sideroxylon 'Rasea' Eucalyptu~ viminalis Eucalyptus rudis Magnolia grand, ora Olea europaea 'Fruitless~ Pinus canariensis Pinus halepensi~/Pinus eldarica Pinas pinea Podocarpu~ gracilior Quercus agrifolia Quercus ilex Schinus molle Ulmus parvifolia 'Drake' Trees - Deciduous A lbizia julibrissin Alnus rhombifolia Betula alba Fraxinu~ velutina Fraxinu~ uhdei 'Tomliason ' Gingko biloba Gleditsia tricanthas 'Shade Master' Koelreuteria bipinnata Koelreuteria paniculata L~gerstroemia indica COMMON NAME Strawberry Tree Bottle Tree Deodar Cedar Red Box Gum Red Iron Bark White Gum Desert Gum Southern Magnolia Fruitless Olive Canary Island Pine Aleppo Pine Italian Stone Pine Fern Pine California Live Oak Holly Oak California Pepper Evergreen Elm Mimosa Tree White Alder White Birch Arizona Ash Tomlinson Ash Maidenhair Tree Honey Locust Chinese Flame Tree Golden Rain Tree Crape Myrtle Specific Plan No. 3, Amendment No. 6 Page III-too
