That this planning application is a request to design and construct, in two phases, an
eleven-building, light industrial complex, totaling 127,162 square feet on 8.91 acres and
to be located on the south side of Remington Avenue, approximately 900 feet west of
Diaz Road;
That the proposed project will be consistent with the Design Guidelines for the Light
Industrial (LI) zone; that the building setbacks meet or exceed the minimum
requirements of the Development Code; that the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .33 will be
below the target ratio of .4 for this zoning district;
That access to the site will be provided at three locations off Remington Avenue with
parking being provided throughout the site; that the drive aisle layout will allow for
circulation of emergency vehicles as well as multiple routes through the site.
Architecture
That the proposed architecture will include painted concrete tilt-up buildings, the use of
glass, bull-nosed cornice entry panels, accent tiles, cast V reveals, wrought iron gates,
and trellis structures; that the proposed building entries will include bull-nosed cornice
panels and glass door ways that recess behind the main wall; that the reofline has varied
parapet heights at the office entry locations; that many of the entdes will feature painted
metal canopies; that the buildings will include various breaks and angles in the wall
planes which provide for screening of the loading areas as well as breaking up building
mass from street view;
That the front set back will include trellis patio cover structures at the front of three of the
five buildings along Remington Avenue which will as well serve to provide visual offsets
and add interest to the street facing facades.
Landscaping
That the landscape plan conforms to the landscape requirements of the Development
Code and Design Guidelines; that the tree and shrub placement will serve to effectively
screen onsite parking areas and effectively soften building elevations; that the
landscaping also serves to tie the site together in that the landscaping along Remington
Avenue will provide strong visual identification of the street frontage associated with the
project; and that the landscape scheme presented along the street frontage will be
carried throughout the project;
That the project proposes a total of 337 trees and 4,572 shrubs located throughout the
project site, which will establish a height standard for future development on surrounding
parcels.
Site Plan
That two phases of development are proposed for the project; that phase one may be
developed as a stand-alone project; that required screening will be provided for all
loading and trash enclosure areas; that circulation requirements (including Fire
Department access requirements) will be met; that full landscaping of all of the phase
one portion of the project will be provided; that the timeframe of phase two has not been
determined and would not be anticipated to be within six months of completion of phase
one; and that the project has been conditioned to temporarily seed and irrigate phase
two for dust and soil erosion control in accordance with the Development Code.
Environmental Determination
That the project will be larger than five acres in size and will not qualify for an exemption
from CEQA and, therefore, an Initial Environmental study was prepared; that staff would
recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for
the proposed project;
That staff had determined that the proposed eleven-building, light industrial complex, as
conditioned, will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, and ali
applicable ordinances, standards, guidelines, and polices; that staff also would

For Commissioner Mathewson, Principal Planner Hazen explained that when the construction
plans are submitted, staff will not sign off on the project unless the air conditioning has been
properly screened, as per the standard conditions of approval.
At this time, the public hearing was opened.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
By way of a PowerPoint, Senior Planner Naaseh reviewed the process of hiring the firm RRM to
update the Design Guidelines and introduced Mr. Mark Brodeur, representing RRM
Development Group.
Advising that he was the odginal author of the City's current Design Guidelines, Mr. Brodeur
explained that tonight's goal would be to gauge the Commission's and public input in order to
make the Design Guidelines more specific and understandable by the community and, at the
same time, raising the bar for quality.
Mr. Brodeur provided an overview of steps undertaken to date, noting the following:
Conducted a kick-off meeting with staff in order to determine what has worked
and what does not work;
Reviewed and commented on the existing Design Guidelines;
· Current Design Guidelines were given to an RRM Development Review Team
for comments;
· Staff identified the problem areas of the Design Guidelines.
By way of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Brodeur reviewed the reasoning for a City having
Design Guidelines; commented on the necessary changes to the current Design Guideline;
presented various examples of types of homes and buildings; reviewed the standards of each
type of home and buildings; cladfied the changes necessary to the current Design Guideline in
an effort to achieve a certain type of development quality; reviewed examples of vadous types
of architecture for shopping centers, highlighting parking, lighting, and landscaping; and stated
that the ensure the most effective Design Guidelines, staff would recommend developing more
standards and fewer guidelines, commenting on requiring particular matedal pallets and
prohibiting franchise architecture. Mr. Brodeur suggested the development of a visual
document by providing pictures of actual buildings with a list of standards for each type of
architecture.
Because of the constraints standards may impose on a project, Mr. James Horecka, 32902
Haddock Street, architect, urged the Commission to create a balance and suggested the
development of tiers within the Design Guidelines; recommended streamlining the application
process by staff; requested a copy of the draft Development Guidelines for review.
4
Mr. Cados Madrid, 515 S. Flower, DMJM Amhitecture, requested that the Commission consider
adding sustainability, environmental issues, and lighting designs into the Design Guidelines.
Mr. Walt Allen, 28441 Rancho Califomia Road, complimented and echoed Mr. Horecka's vision
of development; stated that each design should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis; and
requested to be included on the Committee that would be reviewing the draft Design Guidelines.
Relaying her preference with the consultant's recommendation to not restrict to define the
Design Guidelines, Commissioner Olhasso reviewed different types of development around the
County and requested to receive suggestions from staff.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Director of Planning Ubnoske addressed the labeling of types of
homes and buildings.
Commissioner Mathewson requested that the neighborhood scale in the residential
neighborhoods be studied; concurred with Commissioner Olhasso on not restricting but defining
the Design Guidelines; and noted the importance of staff training.
Commissioner Guerriero relayed his desire for a more animated monumentation at the larger
intersections such as a waterfall or fountain shows; suggested that the minimum landscaping
standard be raised from 20% to 25%; requested that development of more single-story
structures; and recommended the use of environmental materials.
Noting that more landscaping is not always better, Mr. Vincent Di Donato, 41635 Enterprise
Circle North, landscape architect, stated that the importance is the location of the landscaping
and expressed concern with constraints on the standards of development.
- Viewing balance as a very important part of a project, Mr. Horecka relayed his concurrence with
creating a signature element for the community.
For Commissioner Olhasso, Director of Planning Ubnoske advised that an amendment has
been discussed with regard to the Old Town Design Guidelines; that the amendment will be
forwarded to the Old Town Local Review Board; and that it would then be forwarded to the
Planning Commission and then to the City Council for final review.
Commissioner Telesio expressed concern with having too much constraint on the standards
and, thereby, eliminating creativity.
Commissioner Olhasso advised that Mr. David Salawitz, a former analysist for the City of
Ontario, reviewed products proposed and pricing structures; advised that he had provided an
analysis, stating that the City of Ontario was under building for its community; and requested
whether a residential or commercial developer may be required to submit this type of analysis.
In response to Commissioner Olhasso, Assistant City Attorney Cudey noted that although
specific measures would require exploration, a developer might be required to provide such
information.
Commissioner Mathewson suggested that both the landscape and building design should be
submitted at the beginning of the project and that a specific landscape theme, compatible with
the architectural style, be emphasized in the Design Guidelines.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Principal Planner Hazen stated that a terminology/definitions
section would be added to the Design Guidelines.
Assistant City Attorney Cudey clarified the difference between the adoption of an ordinance and
the approval of guidelines, noting that an ordinance is a penal statute of the City or jurisdiction
that adopts it; that the adoption of an ordinance would be City law; and that guidelines have
more flexibility because they are not law.
With additional Commission discussion ensuing, it was agreed to incorporate more authentic
designs; that it is important for staff and the architects to work as a team; that the statement
creating a good sense of entry to any type of business in the Design Guidelines must be
addressed; that defining the elements that assist staff in establishing quality projects will be
critical; that signage should be addressed; that single-story homes should be clustered to avoid
the skyscraper syndrome which, depending on its orientation, would take away natural sunlight;
that hardscaped areas be incorporated into landscaped areas; and that the proposed guidelines
should be developed in a fashion so that the applicants/architects are fully aware of the
minimum requirements.
Mr. Brodeur stated, for Commissioner Telesio, that because it would not be possible to define
every type of architecture, he would recommend to establish a criterion of preferences versus
defining particular architecture.
Mr. Roger Ziemer, 30367 Via Camada, requested that the Commission review the book that
was formulated from a consumer survey and was issued at the Pacific Coast Builders
Conference, clarifying buyer's expectations and noted that the younger population is no longer
desirous of the standard two-story residence.
Mr. Horecka commented on the danger of legislative style and expressed concern with the use
of the word authentic.
Associate Planner Long stated that a pdority list should be established to reflect what the
Committee and what staff would envision in a typical commercial center.
Senior Planner Naaseh explained that staff and the consultant will further review the matter after
which the item would be readdressed by the Commission.
Planning Director Ubnoske suggested first bringing forward the industrial section of the Design
Guidelines.
Commissioner Guerriero thanked the architect and development community for the input and
attendance at the meeting.
The Commissioners complimented the Planning Department staff for their associated efforts.
COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Mathewson stated concern with the placement of a coming soon banner on a
fence at the Bel Villagio Plaza and questioned whether Public Works Director Hughes would be
addressing streetscape issues.
6
For Commissioner Mathewson, Planning Director Ubnoske advised that staff has determined
that the utility boxes have been incorrectly placed and that staff is currently having several other
issues with Harveston.
PLANNING DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Planning Director Ubnoske thanked the Commission for its support and words of support to
staff; advised that staff may bring forth Development Code amendments regarding the Design
Guidelines; and noted that she would as well like to review the consumer survey from the
Pacific Coast Builders Conference.

BACKGROUND
The Conditional Use Permit and Development Plan application was submitted to the Planning
Department on March 24, 2003. A Development Review Committee Meeting was held on Apd117,
2003. The project was approved at a Director's Hearing Meeting on August 21,2003. Don Macek,
a neighboring businessman attended the Director's Hearing and spoke in opposition to the
proposed project. On September 4, 2003, Mr. Macek filed a formal appeal of the Planning Director's
decision, (See Attachment 2) citing concerns with the project including the isolated location and
concerns for safety, potential for crime, financial constraints to provide a regular monitor, and land
use incompatibility.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a request by Blake Scripps to design, construct, and operate a self-service
car wash facility located on the south side of Via Rio Temecula, approximately 160 feet west of
Redhawk Parkway.
There is approximately 800-900 feet separating the project site from the residential zone to the
south and an elevation change of appreximately 40 feet. In addition, there is a neighborhood park
with baseball facilities and Temecula Creek between the project site and the residential district to the
south. To the west of the project site is the Creek and Via Rio Temecula; to the north is the rear of
an existing shopping center and to the east is a day care facility. Further to the east on the opposite
side of the day care facility are an existing tire store and a car wash facility similar to the proposed
project, which is currently under construction.
The proposed project includes two freestanding buildings, including six (6) wash bays and eight
(8) dry bays totaling approximately 6,256 square feet. The buildings will be set back from Via Rio
Temecula approximately 30 feet. The buildings include split-faced block, stucco, ceramic accent
tiles, and a concrete "S" tile roof. The frontage of the site includes a landscaped berm with
Australian Willow and London Plane trees ranging in size from 36-inch box to fifteen gallon and
various five-gallon shrubs.
The rear of the project site includes a planter seven-feet in depth with seventeen (17) 36-inch box
Bottle trees and sixty-eight (68) 15-gallon Purple Hopseed shrubs. The large species are required
for screening of the bays from the residential view. In addition, staff required the applicant to submit
cross sections and photos from the view of the residences to the south in order to determine visibility
from the adjacent residences.

PROJECT ANALYSIS
Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit
Staff reviewed the project for conformance with the Development Code and Section 17.10.020.G
(Car Washes). Car washes are required to comply with the following criteria:
1. Such businesses shall be located at least 200 feet from any residential district.
The nearest residential distdct is located approximately 800-900 feet to the south.
2. Wash bays and vacuum areas shall be screened from public view.
The applicant has provided mature landscaping (36-inch box trees and 15 gallon shrubs)
around the facility to ensure the wash and dry bays are screened from the public and
residential view.
Regular monitoring of the facility by an attendant shall be provided during business hours to
control noise, litter and other nuisances.
A Condition of Approval is in place requiring the owner to ensure that regular monitoring of
the facility will be provided during business hours to control noise, litter and other nuisances.
Hours of operation shall be limited to seven a.m. to ten p.m., unless otherwise specifically
established as a condition of approval. Automatic shut-off of water and electrical systems,
except for security and fire protection, shall be provided during non-business hours.
The Conditions of Approval restrict the hours of operation from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, which is
more stringent than the code allows, but is what the applicant requested. (7:00 am- 10:00
pm).
Staff reviewed the proposed project in accordance with the Development Code and the above
section and determined that the project is consistent with the required standards.
APPEAL
In filing his appeal request, Mr. Macek has requested the Planning Commission overturn the
Planning Director's decision and deny the Conditional Use Permit and Development Plan. A copy of
the Appeal application is included as an attachment.
The letter of appeal makes the following points for overturning the Planning Director's Decision:
'"The approval of a self-serve car-wash at this location will undoubtedly become a public
menace and have a negative impact on the surrounding community. The subject's project
location is isolated and lacks clear visibility of street traffic. These car wash projects that lack
clear visibility of street traffic will develop into a hotbed for criminal activity.., by approving a
car wash in this location, a scenario of criminal and unsavory activity will arise in this area".
Staff concurs with the appellant that the bays are isolated from public view. However the
project site is zoned Community Commercial (CC) and allows for car wash facilities if
screening/s provided. The Police Department reviewed the proposed project and provided
Conditions of Approval to satisfy their needs.
R:\C U P~003\03-0166, Via Rio Temecula Car Wash\PC Appeal Report.doc

The appficant has reduced the amount of walls throughout the project site, which will reduce
the chance of graffiti. City staff has discussed this project with the Police Department and the
Police Department has indicated that there is a patrol vehicle assigned to the Vail Ranch
and lower Highway 79 vicinity that patrols this area. ff problems were to occur in this area,
the Police Department would assign extra patrol of the facility. When extra patrol is
implemented, the officers receive a briefing of the problems and are required to patrol and
monitor the site.
A full time attendant is financially impossible for this type of facility (especially at this
location) and the City and the owner cannot ensure this will occur.
As a Condition of Approval, the owner is responsible for regular monitoring of the facility
during business hours to control noise, litter and other nuisances such as loitering. Section
17.04.010E. 3 provides the City the right to "review and revoke or modify any conditional use
permit approved or conditionally approved hereunder for any violations of the conditions
imposed on such conditional use permit or for the maintenance of any nuisance conditioning
or other code violation thereon': If the City determines that the proposed project becomes a
nuisance or is in violation of the conditions, the City has the fight to revoke this conditional
use permit.
The use is not compatible with the surrounding uses, primarily the playground of the day
care center located immediately to the east of the project site.
The compatibility of land uses was an issue that staff and the applicant considered when
designing this project. Initially, the project included an automated car wash immediately
adjacent to the day care. The applicant decided to eliminate this feature and relocate the
vacuum and dry bays away from the day care since these activities have the greatest
potential to create noise. The facility was then broken into two separate buildings with a drive
aisle between them to facilitate on-site circulation, which also separates the dry bays further
away from the day care center. By relocating the vacuum and dry bays away from the day
care, the project effectively buffers itself. In addition, separating the day care and car wash
facility is an existing wrought iron fence approximately 6 feet in height and a proposed
landscaped planter ranging from eight feet to twenty feet in depth. The proposed planter
includes numerous 5-gallon Purple Hopseed Bush shrubs, Australian Willows and Bottle
trees and various other 5-gallon shrubs (Fortnight Iris, Photinia, and Indian Hawthorn) further
screening and buffering the car wash facility from the day care.
The Development Code does not preclude car wash facilities in locations where other existing car
wash facilities exist. In order for the Planning Director to approve the Conditional Use Permit and
Development Plan, the findings of approval must be made. Staff maintains that the Director
appropriately made the findings for approval required for this proposed project.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The project qualifies under CEQA for a Categorical Exemption under Section 15332 In-Fill
Development Projects, Class 32. The project is consistent with the general plan designation and the
Community Commercial zoning district. The site is less than five acres and is substantially
surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value for endangered, rare or threatened
species. The approval of this project will not result in any significant effects to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water. The site is currently served by all required utilities and public services.

RECOMMENDATION
In considering the appeal, staff recommends the Planning Commission take the following action:
Uphold the Director of Planning decision to approve the project and deny the appeal of
Planning Application No. PA03-0166. The resolution to deny the appeal is contained in
Attachment No. 1.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (17.04.010)
The proposal, a self-service car wash facility, is consistent with the land use designation and
policies reflected in the Community Commemial (CC) land use standards in the City of
Temecula General Plan and the City's Development Code. The site is therefore properly
planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the type of the proposed use. The
project as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and
local ordinance, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition ad development of
adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely
affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures because the project site is surrounded by
commemial uses and the proposed project includes a use that generates minimal vehicular
trips and is not considered an intense use. In addition, the project site has been planned to
include additional large trees and shrubs to screen to the project site from the distant
residences and public view. The buildings are designed to blend with the surrounding
development and therefore will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or
structures.
The site of this proposed conditional use is a self-service car wash facility. The site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed car wash facility without affecting
the yard, parking and loading, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in
the Development Code in order to integrate the use with other uses on the site and in the
neighborhood.
The proposed Conditional Use Permit includes a self-service car wash facility. The nature of
this use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community
because the proposed project is providing a service that is need in the surrounding
community and it has been designed to minimize any adverse impacts, including health,
safety and general welfare to the community.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for a conditional use permit is based on
substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission. The
application has been brought before the Planning Commission at a Public Hearing where
members of the community have had an opportunity to be heard on this matter before the
Planning Commission renders a final decision.
R:\C U P~2003~03-0166, Via Rio Temecula Car Wash'~PC Appeal Report.doc

Development Plan (17.05.010)
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for the City of Temecula and with
all applicable requirements of state law ands other ordinances of the City of Temecula
because the project has been reviewed and it has been determined that the project is
consistent with all applicable zoning ordinances, state law and the General Plan.
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health,
safety, and general welfare, because the project has been designed to minimize any
adverse impacts upon the surrounding neighborhood and the project has been reviewed and
conditioned to comply with the uniform building and fire codes.

Dear Mr. Long:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within the
boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). Water service,
therefore, would be available upon 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.
The proposed project is a car wash facility, and as such, is a significant water
user. RCWD requests that the City of Temecula condition the developer to
install a recycled water system'~at this facility to minimize water usage. In
addition to this requirement, the environmental assessment should also address
the potential for ground water pollution and the appropriate mediation methods
should address this issue.
If you should have any questions, please contact an Engineering Services
Representative at this office.
Sincerely,
RANCHO CALIFORNIA WATER DISTRICT

to coordinate with the approving agency for the proper notification. Further
arrangements for service from EMWD may also include plan check, facility
construction inspection, jurisdictional annexation, and payment of financial

Dear Mr. Long:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within the
boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). Water service,
therefore, would be available upon 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.
The proposed project is a car wash facility, and as such, is a significant water
user. RCWD requests that the City of Temecula condition the developer to
install a recycled water system at this facility to minimize water usage. In
addition to this requirement, the environmental assessment should also address
the potential for ground water pollution and the appropriate mediation methods
should address this issue.
If you should have any questions, please contact an Engineering Services
Representative at tiffs office.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re: PA03-0166
The District does not usually review land divisions/land use cases or provide State Division of Real Estate
letters/flood hazard reports for projects that are located within incorporated Cities. Exceptions are made for
cases with items of specific interest to the Distdct including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other
regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or extension of a
master plan system, and Distdct Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). The District has not
reviewed the proposed project in detail and the following comments do not in any way constitute or imply
District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard, public health and safety
or any other such issues.
PA03-0166 is a proposal to design, construct and operate a self-serve car wash facility on a 1.17 acre site
located on the south side of Via Rio Temecula, approximately 500 feet west of Redhawk Parkway.
The entire site is located within shaded Zone X boundary for Temecula Creek as delineated on Panel No.
0607420010B of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued in conjunction with the National Flood Insurance
Program, adminis~tered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The project does not have any impact on Distdct Master Plan facilities or any other proposed facilities of
regional interest. The following information of a general nature is provided herewith for your use:
This project may need to obtain an applicable National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit coverage from the State Water Resources Control Board or the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) - San Diego Region. Clearance for grading, recordation, or other final approval
should not be given until the City has determined that the project has been granted a permit or is shown to
be exempt.
If the mapped flood plain is impacted by the project, the City should require the applicant to obtain a
Section 1601/1603 Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Game and a Clean Water Act
Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or wdtten correspondence from these
agencies indicating the project is exempt from these requirements. A Clean Water Act Section 401 Water
Quality Certification may be required from the RWQCB - San Diego Region pdor to issuance of the Corps
404 permit.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Teresa Tung at
909.955.4050.
Very truly yours,

RE: Case No. PA03-0166
I am appealing the approval of the Blake Scripps car w~h (Case No. PA03-0166). The
approval of a serf-serve car wash at this location ~ll~nd6U6~'~dl~6'a.Publie
:~ and have a ~ ~:~ ~i.~,:~g ~. The Subject's p~oject
location is i~l_.at~and ~i.~i~M~l~ ~a~,~. These car wash projects that
lack clear Visibilliy of street iraffi¢ d~VeloP into'a h~ft~r
activities are depicted in detail drawing from my previous letter of opposition. The self-
serve car wash industry relies heavily on the use of bill changing machines. Approving a
self-serve car wash at this location qf i p[a
~ei~hich creates an obvious opportunity for criminal activity at this site. By
approving a car wash in this location, a
afi'_se:in.thiS area4/.~ citizens will be faced with an unnecessary risk.
The only mandate in the Conditions of Approval set forth by the City of Temecula to
address this problem is that the operator be required to have a full time attendant.
Ultimately you have left it to the operator's willingness and financial ability to properly
staff this facility. The applicant, in a recent conversation with Fred Grimes of WestMar,
represented that he had no intention of hiring an attendant. He stated that it was just
going to be him going by and checking on the facility. In my experience, a full time
attendant is a financial impossibility (especially at this location). Also, fi.om a logistical
standpoint, the operator will have a difficult time finding employees that he can ensure
will be there full time. Many times it is the unsupervised employee themselves that
attracts the unsavory people and activates. Nbither the City of Temecula nor the operator
will be able to properly ensure that this condition is met. This mandate is inadequate and
will be of little effect to deter this type of criminal and unsavory activity I have discussed.
The fact that you have approved this car wash facility directly adjacent t0 a preschool and.
t s playground ~s an incompatible !and use. To sandwich a preschool between two car
washes and a tire store seems ridiculous and should be considered unacceptable.
It is the planning department and commission's responsibility not only to consider land
use issues, but also to determine if this project will be an asset or liability to the
community of Temecula and to protect its citizens. Local homeowners would argue that
since there is currently an approved self-serve car wash under construction on Redhawk
Parkway, the approval of an additional car wash separated by one parcel of land makes
no sense and would be of no benefit to the community. The approval of a self-serve car
wash in this isolated location will create a long-mn,liability for the City of Temecula and
the community in the surrounding area. Now that you are aware of all the facts and
understand the full magnitude of the situation, it is your opportunity to reevaluate your
previous approval and deny this application.

This is a request by Blake Scripps design, construct, and operate a self-service car wash facility
located on the south side of Via Rio Temecula, approximately 160 feet west of Redhawk
Parkway.
The project site includes two freestanding buildings, including 6 wash bays and 8 dry bays
totaling approximately 6,256 square feet. There is approximately 800-900 feet separating the
project site from the residential zone to the south and an elevation change of approximately 40
feet.
The building is setback from Via Rio Temecula approximately 30 feet. The buildings include
split-faced block, stucco, ceramic accent tiles, and concrete "S" tile roof. The frontage of the site
includes a landscaped berm with various tree species ranging in size from 36-inch box to fifteen
gallon.
The rear of the project site includes a seven-foot planter with numerous large, 36-inch box trees
and 15-gallon shrubs. The large species are required for screening of the bays from the
residential view. In addition, staff required the applicant to submit cross sections and photos
from the view of the residences to the south in order to determine visibility from the adjacent
residences.
Environmental
This project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15332 (In-fill) because the
project is surrounded by existing development in an urban environment and the project site is
less than 5 acres.
Analysis
Staff has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that the project will not have a
negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood and the findings for approval can be made.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the project will function properly as well as screen
the bays from public and adjacent residential view. The applicant has broken the building into
two freestanding buildings, which improves on-site circulation. The applicant has provided a
landscaped berm with trees and shrubs along the frontage of the site and a dense planting of
36-inch box trees with fifteen-gallon shrubs planted in between each tree on the rear of the site.
The applicant has submitted cross-sections showing the project site, the creek and the
residences. Also, the applicant has submitted a rendering of the site showing the landscaping at
maturity. Staff has consulted this issue with the City's landscape architect and staff has
determined the proposed landscaping is sufficient for screening purposes.

Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Director approve Planning Application No. PA03-
0166 (Conditional Use Permit/Development Plan) based upon the findings and the attached
Conditions of Approval.
FINDINGS:
Conditional Use Permit (17.04.010)
The proposal, a self-service car wash facility, is consistent with the land use designation
and policies reflected in the Community Commercial (CC) land use standards in the City
of Temecula General Plan and the City's Development Code. The site is therefore
properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the type of the
proposed use. The project as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable
requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition ad development of
adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not

Jeff Digby, owner of Ramona Tire, 31955 Via Rio Temecula Road, expressed opposition to the
proposed project because of the already approved car wash being built on the other side of
Ramona Tire. Mr. Digby also expressed safety concerns due to the late houm of operation.
Don Macek, 3615 Monte Real, Escondido, California, owner of the currently approved car wash
already being built next to Ramona Tire, expressed extreme opposition to the proposed
application. Mr. Macek believed this proposed car wash fadlity would prevent his business from
being a viable economic contribution to the City of Temecula.
Larry Markham addressed all concerns by stating the design team went to great lengths to
design the proposed car wash to meet the requirements in the conditions of approval. Mr.
Markham addressed issues regarding noise and litter after hours of operation. Landscape
Architect, Vince DiDonato , at the request of Pdndpal Planner, Don Hazen, presented
information on the types trees that would provide screening for the proposed car wash facility.
Principal Planner, Don Hazen, dosed the Public Headng at 2:44 PM and addressed all issues.
Principal Planner, Don Hazen, first addressed Mr. Macek from a legal standpoint, stating a
property owner has a dght to pursue his development of choice provided that business meets
the City's development requirements. Principal Planner, Don Hazen, informed Mr. Macek that a
previous approval from the County of Riverside to build his car wash facility is not a valid reason
to deny the application to build the proposed car wash facility. The proposed car wash facility
meets the requirements submitted by the City of Temecula.
According to Principal Planner, Don Hazen, he has reviewed the digilal photo simulation
regarding the landscaping of the side and rear of the facility. The City's Landscape Architect has
also given validity to the landscape plan. Mr. Hazen is encouraged by the fact that there is a
park across the creek and creek vegetation, to provide landscape screening of the loading base
from public view.
Pdndpal Planner, Don Hazen, finds that the proposed car wash tadlity is consistent with the
City's regulations. Principal Planner, Don Hazen, approved the Development Plan and
Conditional Use Permit PA03-0166 with the conditions as proposed and one modification.
Principal Planner, Don Hazen, is concerned about the maintenance of the landscaping along
the rear and the side of the proposed facility if there is a business failure in the future. In order
to make sure that the landscaping does not die, and to protect the view, Principal Planner, Don
Hazen, amended condition # 16 to read: "The property owner shall fully install all required
landscaping and irrigation, and submit a landscape maintenance bond in a form and amount
approved by the Planning Department for a period of c=c three-years and post one-year
bonds each year thereafter up to a maximum of ten years from the date of the first

RE: Case No. PA03-0166
Dear Mr. Long,
I am submitting this letter of protest to oppose the car wash facility proposed on Via Rio
Temecula Rd. The purpose for my objection may at first seem selfish, but the project
will have a negative impact on surrounding businesses and homes in the Temecula
community.
As I have recently undergone construction on a seven bay self-serve car wash located at
31955 Via Rio Temecula Rd. Only one parcel of land to the east lies between my project
and this proposed site. The County of Riverside approved my project long ago, and I
doubt that the applicant or planning department of the City of T~mecula is aware of this
situation. It is difficult to believe that the applicant would wish to follow through with
knowledge of this situation. More importantly the planning department must understand
the full magnitude of problems that occur when a poorly conceived project such as this
proposed site would cause to the community.
I admittedly have vested interest in seeing this proposal denied due to obvious concerns
in proximity of location. It must be noted that my concerns go far beyond additional
competition. I am an experienced car wash developer and operator with fifteen years of
experience in the business and currently own and operate multiple locations in San Diego
County. I spend a great deal of time in site analysis for myself, and consult for other
operators. On occasion I have offered my opinion to financial lenders who are aware of
my expertise in this area. I clearly understand the key aspects of site analysis and it is my
strong opinion that this proposed site could be a textbook study as where not to locate a
self-serve car wash.
I realize your main concern is how this project will directly affect the City of Temecula
at large. Due to the isolation of this projects location, the project will never be
economically feasible. The subject location lacks any clear visibility or street traffic, and
this aspect is the only effective advertising device in the self serve industry. This leads
to a low volume of customers at the car wash because most people will never be aware of
its location and those who are aren't comfortable washing their cars in isolated location
where they feel unsafe. This scenario aids to promote unsavory criminal activity on the
property as vagabonds and transients flock to these isolated car washes. Naturally when
a car wash is not economically feasible, proper staffing is unaffordable. This leads to
poor maintenance, trash, and pollution of the surrounding grounds. Car repair, drug
dealing and usage become common practices. These poorly located washes become
hotbeds for, criminal activity. Ultimately the situation results in a series of bankruptcies
and owners that "give it a try" but ultimately realize the inability to salvage a car wash
with a poor location. It is important to note that these car washes are single purpose
buildings and that the problems will still exist years at, er the developer is gone.
When a municipality approves a ear wash in this kind of location you are perpetuating the
type of unsavory activity the community is trying to avoid. This situation will have a
negative impact on the residences and business in the immediate proximity of this area,
including mine. This project will also leave a bad reflection on the self-serve car wash
industry that would assuredly have a negative impact on my facility.
It would be a mistake to discount the issues and opinions that I raise in this argument, as
you may feel that my only concern is additional competition. I am considered an expert in
this field of site analysis as much as anyone in Southern California. As I previously
stated, I am an experienced operator, with multiple car wash locations. I am adept to
competing with dkect competition. The site that I am developing is a vastly superior to
the subject's site because my site contains th6 critical aspects that the subject's site does
not include, such as high traffic count and excellent visibility. The car wash I am building
will be the most "state of the art" technologically advanced self-serve car wash facility in
Southern California. I would compete favorably with this additional site. Even if my
project was non-existent, the subject's site would still have a difficult time surviving, and
the same problems and issues I have pointed out would still arise. There isn't an
experienced car wash operator in thek right mind that would build a car wash at the
subject location. If you have any questions or concerns to the issues that I have raised,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
.~.~ ~ff] ~Sincerely,

RE: Case No. PA03-0166
Dear Mr. Long:
I own and operate the Ramona Tire & Service Center located at 31955 Via Rio Temecula Road,
Temecula. I am writing in opposition to your recommended approval of the above referenced project.
First, I would like to make you aware that I already have approved building plans (County of Riverside)
to'conStruct aself-s6rvice car wash facility on my site, and secondly, that construction has already
commenced;. I realize that competition, in and of itself is not enough of a reason to deny an application,
however the resulting problems associated should be.
I do not believe that the area will support two identical businesses located less than 100 yards apart. I
believe that what you will end up with is one or more under-performing businesses. As I am sure you are
aware, a business that is not in sound financial condition does not perform the necessary maintenance
and/or continue to operate. The last thing the residents of Temecula and Redhawk are going to want to see
is a neglected or abandoned ear wash in their neighborhood.
Finally, even if I were not constructing an identical business, I would still object to this particular use on
that site. I feel that the site is far too hidden to be a safe and secure location for a self-service car wash.
When self-serve car washes are not highly visible from a main artery, they tend to attract undesirable
elements and nefarious activities.
Thank you for your consideration.

To the City of Temecula Planning Commissioners,
I am Betty Johnson and I live in Redhawk, across the river fi.om the proposed
car wash. I am not in favor of a car wash in this particular spot.
I believe the city and the county have not done a good job in coordinating the
businesses on this particular stretch of land. The county has akeady approved
a selfse~e car wash just two doors down from this property. Down about a
half mile is a full serve car wash at the Ultra-Mar Station. Three ear washes
within a half mile area would seem to be a hardship on all of them. This could
doom this business before it ever got started.
Another problem that I see is one of crime. We live in times where it seems a
lot ofteenager3are using drags. People look for the best place they can find to
sell and use these drags. It seems that the city, the county, and the residents
all have an obligation to try to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
How do we do this? I think by thinking through each project very carefully.
A business that is lit up and open all day and all night without an adult
attendant seems like the ideal place for drag transfers to be made. Is there
really a need to have an unsupervised business open beyond the shopping
center hours? An attendant taking care of the property at all times when it is
open, would also go a long way toward preventing a bad-situation. I think
there should be some way to lock up this facility when it is closed. Please
consider this carefully before you make a decision.
Thank you,
Betty Johnson

Re: Case No. PA03-0166
Dear Mr. Long,
Please consider this letter to be our written comments to the Plannhg Director for the public
hearing to be held on August 21, 2003 for the above ~-eferenced case number.
The.Redhawk CommunltyAssodation understands that this hearing is to add an additional self-
sernce car wash to the area. It is also our understanding that mother one is currently under
construction, and that one will have an attendant present during most of the hours of operations.
Based upon our understandings, we request that the City of Temecuh consider not approving an
additional self-service car wash at this location. Should the City of Temecula go ahead with the
approv, al, we would request that the owner be required to provide an attendant during the hours of
operanons.
The Redhawk CommunityAssociafion appreciates your consideration of these concerns.
Vet)' truly yours,
Mark Jones, as Agent for the Board of Direct6rs
Redhawk Community Association
