BACKGROUND
On August 25, 2003, Matthew Fagan, representing X.O. Investment Group, LLC submitted
Planning Application No. PA03-0471 for a Development Plan to construct a 12,309 square foot
building on 0.10 acres located at 28461 Old Town Front Street and within the Tourist Retail
Core (TRC) district of the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 12,309 square foot building that, although not
connected to the existing Chaparral Center building, would effectively be an expansion of the
Chaparral Center. The proposed building has been designed to be architecturally integrated
with the existing Chaparral Center, including matching roof pitches and shingles, paint and
stain, 5/8" rough sawn plywood with 2" x 3" batts, four inch horizontal lap siding, wood sash
windows, and wood stairways, pomhes, decks and railing.
ANALYSIS
The proposed building is consistent with the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan. The building
includes the qualities and design elements of Western Style buildings as recommended by the
Old Town Specific Plan including horizontal wood siding, wood porches with shed roofs,
significant wall articulation, roof parapets with cornice, balconies with balustrade, exterior
stairways, and knee bracing at posts. Although the Old Town Specific Plan recommends
avoiding or minimizing plywood in western styled buildings, the proposed rough sawn plywood
with batts has the appearance of vertical boards and batts and would match the rough sawn
plywood on the existing Chaparral building, thereby meeting the intent of the Specific Plan. As
designed the proposed building will be amhitecturally integrated with the existing Chaparral
Center and will compliment both the Chaparral Center and surrounding development.
RECOMMENDATION
The building proposed in this application has been determined by staff to be consistent with the
Old Town Specific Plan as to building design, materials and colors. Staff is requesting that the
Old Town Local Review Board review, provide comments, and recommend approval for this
project.

Subj: KID'S WORLD MODULAR BUILDING
Dear Dave:
This is to inform the city that, as of this date, the Local
Review Board finds no evidence of the exterior architectural
additions to the non-conforming modular building at Kid's World
that were intended to make the building look more like the others
on the property located on Third Street in Old Town.
It was our understanding that this was one of the conditions in
allowing the McKuskers to retain the building on their property
during an agreed upon five year grace period.
Sin~rely, .

Committee
SUBJECT: Kid's World north elevation change
Plot Plan #138
Dear Committee Members,
We are now reaching the'end of our' construction at Kid's
World Elementary and have had to make several changes. One
costly change to both us and the children was; the extra cost
of having to enlarge the parking facility to us, and the loss
of the playground to the children. When we enlarged the
par'king facility which only gets used between 8:3~-8:4~am and
3:3~-.3:4~pm for a total of 20 minutes per day, we lost
several hundred feet of playground for the children to play
on.
One change that we have given much thought and consideration
to is the north end trellis. Because of having to give up
our largesl play area to parking, this side of the building
has become the most common area the children use for r'unning
and playing. With the trellis on the side of the building
the posts along the sidewalk would become a major' safety
problem. Children at this age would be walking and running
into these posts possibly causing severe injuries. For' this
reason we are asking you to approve the deletion of the
trellis on this'end only. Because we have complied with all
of your other requests we ask this only in cosideration o1
the safety of our' children.
Sincerely,
John and Chr'istine McCusker

Re:

On Monday, August 10, Mr. & Mrs. John McCusker will be attending
the board meeting to discuss a change to the approved plan. I will
be unable to attend this meeting, nor would I have been eligible to
vote, due to a conflict of interest.
The McCuskers are requesting that the board allow them to eliminate
the trellis which was to be placea along the North side of the new
building. The request to eliminate this trellis is not because of
the cost, it is for safety reasons. The posts will be in
playground area. It is very likely that the children will run into
the wooden posts, obtain splinters which oould be hazardous and
painful to a small child.
The three mulberry trees adjacent to this building will mature soo~
and the side of the building will be attractively camouflaged. Au
that point, the trellis would no longer be visible.
It is my reco~unendation that you vote to approve their request.
Your approval will make the City process much easier for the
McCuskers.

MAIN
STREET PROGRAM CONFERENCE
SAN JOSE
August 6-7, 1992
NOTES TAKEN ON SESSIONS ATTENDED BY W.A. HARKER
SESSION I: General Overview
San Jose has invested over one billion dollars in
revitalizing urban and downtown areas and have preserved
past history of the area in doing so.
Revitalization of downtown areas is important to turning
the state economy around.
Too often the original vision is lost as redevelopment
takes place. It is often too reactive rather than
proactive.
From 1970 to 1989 the misery index in cities grew from
25 percent to 40 percent.
The national drive for suburban development during the
past decade has left the downtown areas in dire straits.
The post war prosperity has all but disappeared. Money
has gone for growth rather than for preservation or
revitalization.
We need to create a sense of community and retain in-town
neighborhoods.
High quality education is very important including
educating the public in local needs and programs.
A decade of greed must be replaced by a decade of need and
fulfilling the need.
The current recession has provided a respite from more
strip developments and fast food places.
We have been destroying the fabric of America and must
return to the philosophy of downtown communities.
SESSION II: Working With Chambers of Commerce
A national survey of 27 states revealed there was a
feeling of insecurity and competition for funding and
volunteers between chambers of commerce and downtown
revitalization groups.

Each organization tries to retain own identification.
There is overlapping of responsibilities, professional
jealousies, personality conflicts, conflicting goals and
each feeling they are not getting proper credit for work
done,
Some conflicts are perceived and some are real.
The majority of the respondents felt the missions were
different and the two organizations should not merge.
Traditionally, chambers are not concerned with historic
preservation. Chambers are community-wide oriented while
a Main Street Program is confined to downtown areas.
If both organization do decide to work together they
should not share common office space.
The organizations should work together but remain separate
and should put on joint events.
A chamber is like a general practitioner who is concerned
with the whole body while the Main Street is like a
specialist who worries about the heart but the general
practitioner does not want the heart to die because if it
does the whole body dies.
Chambers exist to help their members, not necessarily the
whole community.
The big problem with the Main Street Program is that
are dealing with a bunch of entrepreneurs and trying
change them into organization types.

passed a July 1st amendment to the above which modifies
local ordinances rather than superseding them.

of a major quake. The study took two and a half years to
complete and cost $80 million.

Recovery
The cost of retrofit runs around 21 percent of the annual
business income for 20 years. Just the engineering alone
costs $15 per sq.ft, and does not include the cost of any
physical changes.
Loss of life is not significant but economic recovery is a
big loss. Falling parapets and facades kill most people
but they can be reinforced at reasonable cost.
The nuts and bolts improvements consist of reinforcing
floors and tying walls
Oceanside is tying their Retrofit Program into their Main
Street Program.
Earthquakes don't level downtown areas, they just destroy
vulnerable buildings and unreinforced masonry buildings
are the most vulnerable.
Should set retrofit priorities by areas as well as risk
classification and coordinate retrofit with rehab and
redevelopment projects.
Consideration should be given to amending zoning,
parking and height restrictions.
Limit rent increases in retrofited buildings and find
affordable housing for displaced low income tenants.
