in the process of working with Caltrans in an effort for the City to control Winchester Road and
SR 79 South versus Caltrans. For Mr. Naggar, Public Works Director Hughes noted that it

In light of the City's backbone infrastructure, Assistant City Manager O'Grady and Information

Friends of the Valley not to exceed $130,000;
R:\Minutes\062403 9
26.2 Authorize the City Manager to approve additional service not to exceed 10% of the

26.3 Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 03-79
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING ANIMAL
LICENSING FEES
26.4 Appoint one member as a liaison to work with staff and Animal Friends to explore
the details of a new shelter.
Assistant to the City Manager Yates reviewed the staff report (of record) and introduced Ms.
Anne Washington, Executive Director of Animal Friends and Ms. Chris Anderson of Animal
Friends who, in turn, further clarified the proposed fee structure as well the program, noting the
following:
· Uniform license fee for all City residents
· Uniform license fee for service hourly rates, live stray animal rates, base mileage rate to
create a consistency for all cities;
· Spaying/neutering subsidies
· Collected license revenue will offset City expenditures
· Proposal for a new shelter in Wildomar
Mayor Stone expressed concern with the proposed doubling rates of the license fee and as well
noted that there would not be a financial advantage for a pet owner owning an unaltered dog to
pay three years in advance.
In response to Mayor Stone's comments, Ms. Washington advised that the dog population in
the City of Temecula has continued to increase, noting that while for those cities that have
imposed the $50 license fee for unaltered dogs, the dog population has decreased. It was as
well noted by Assistant to the City Manager Yates that the proposed fees would be in line with
those fees of surrounding areas such as Orange County and San Diego County and would
possibly even be viewed as Iow.
For Mayor Pro Tem Naggar who had expressed concern with raising the fee to a point where
pet owners would opt to not license their dog and noting that some pet owners have made the
decision to not alter their dog, Ms. Washington advised that spaying/neutering assistance would
be available and that such action would be the responsible choice for the dog, noting that dogs
are healthier once spayed or neutered.
Advising that $130,000 has been budgeted for animal control services for this upcoming year,
Mayor Stone viewed the matter as a public safety issue and, therefore, noted that the City may
have to increase that amount versus passing it on to its citizens. Mr. Stone also stated that the
issue of building a permanent facility must be seriously explored.
Assistant to the City Manager Yates noted, for Councilman Comerchero, that the City, in an
effort to ensure a high-level of service to the citizens, has established a strong working
R:\Minutes\062403 10
relationship with Animal Friends of the Valley and as well has cooperatively worked with
regional cities to ensure animal control will be addressed on a City level and a regional level.
In response to Mayor Stone's comment, Councilman Comerchero relayed his opposition to the
City appropriating additional allocations for a service that possibly the majority of the citizens
may not utilize, noting that those pet owners utilizing the service should pay for the service.
For Mayor Pro Tern Naggar, Ms. Washington advised that an animal control officer is on call 24
hours seven days a week but that calls, specifically on the weekends, are limited to higher
priority (vicious dog, injured animal, etc.). Mr. Naggar requested that additional attention be
paid to those services provided on the weekends. In an effort to ensure the citizens'
property/private rights, Mr. Naggar reminded the organization to be cautious in its methods of
determining whether an animal has been licensed or not.
Mr. Greg Morrison, 31045 Oakhill Drive, relayed his support of the proposed plan, noting that
the services of this organization have been undervalued and encouraging that the City Council
approve staff's recommendation.
Additional discussion ensued as to the proposed fee with Mayor Pro Tem Naggar being
appointed as the City Council liaison to work with staff and Animal Friends to explore the new
shelter as well as the fees charged. The following motion being offered:
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Naggar moved to adopt the fee schedule in the proposed resolution,
amending the unaltered yearly license fee to $35 from $25; to explore the new shelter as well as
the fees charged; and to appoint Mr. Naggar as the City Council liaison. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of
Councilman Roberts who was absent.
27 General Plan Amendment and Zone Chanqe for the Valley Christian Fellowship site
located at the southwest corner of Marqarita and De Portola Roads (PW03-0260)
RECOMMENDATION:
27.1
Provide direction to staff on a General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone for the
property located at the southwest corner of Murrieta and De Portola Roads based
upon the recommendations of the General Plan Community Advisory Committee.
Principal Planner Hogan reviewed the staff report (of written material), highlighting the General
Plan Community Advisory Committee's recommendation.
City Manager Nelson noted that it was the City Council's previous decision to explore the
General Plan designation and zoning for the area of discussion versus solely addressing the
two parcels for the Valley Christian Fellowship.
Mr. Don Stowe, 30241 Cabrillo Avenue, Board of Director of Los Ranchitos Homeowners
Association, relayed the Association's primary concern of buffering the community from noise,
visual, and traffic impact as a result of the proposed changes.
Because of the need to construct a hospital on SR79 South, Ms. Joan Sparkman, 40213 Colony
Drive, Murrieta, relayed her support of the proposed change.
Mr. Greg Morrison, 31045 Oakhill Drive, Chairman of the General Plan Community Advisory
Committee, reviewed the Committee's recommendation, advising that there was Committee
consensus with regard to changing the General Plan designation for the two Valley Christian
R:\Minutes\062403 11
Fellowship parcels along with four other parcels to the west but that there was not consensus to
extend the designation to the two parcels north of De Portola.
Councilman Comerchero commended the General Plan Community Advisory Committee on a
job well done and relayed his support of the recommendation.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Naggar moved to forward this item to the Planning Commission to
further review the following issues:
· Intensified use
· Rezoning of the two parcels north of De Portola
· Buffering
· Traffic intensity
· Buy-in from the Homeowners Association
· Ingress/egress
The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected approval with
the exception of Councilman Roberts who was absent.
Mayor Stone suggested that traffic calming/cimulation/intensificetion issues be reviewed by the
Public Traffic/Safety Commission.

City Manager Nelson briefly reviewed the staff report (of record), noting that the proposed

would increase to $600 per month based on existing State Code; and that the increase would
be effective November 2003.
