number of parking strategies that can be implemented in
Old Town over time. These parking management
strategies include time limits, informational programs,
establishing a parking district, and executing parking
charges. Typically, these strategies will be implemented
based upon an 85 percent parking occupancy threshold
within the Old Town area. Once these strategies have
been exhausted, addirional parking facilities may be
constructed based upon the parking demand.
Additionally, supplementary parking analysis updates
will be completed annually to re-evaluate the parking
inventory and occupancy threshold in Old Town.
Two additional parking structure facilities are
anticipated to be constructed as part of the long term
parking management strategy. These structures will be

e.Forecourt Frontage
A Forecourt is an uncovered area in the front of the
building fa�ade. A Forecourt is created by a portion of
the building that is set back from the build-to line which
creates a pedestrian friendly, semi-public open area that
is adjacent to the sidewalk. Forecourts may also
provide access to ground floor or upper floor tenants
and provide for restaurant seating or access to paseos or �'' .
other pedestrian connections. Forecourts may be � • �
combined with other frontage types and may allow for �
vehicular access to parking behind the building. The � � � �
minimum width of a Forecourt is 16 feet; however, if it �. � � �
also provides vehicular access to the rear of the �� _ � � � '
building, the minimum width is 16 feet plus the width
of the drive lane. y � `
�
�
Various Forecourt designs are permitted as illustrated in � �� �
the Old Town Specific Plan Design Guidelines i �
addressed in Chapter V. In addition, the Appendices
section of this Specific Plan also includes a case study ��

3.Traf�c Calming Measures
Traffic calming utilizes a number of street and sidewalk
design strategies that are intended to slow vehicular
movement and also increase the visibiliry of those
walking along the streets and sidewalks in Old Town. In
order to maintain a walkable environment in Old Town
and provide a safe pedestrian environment a number of
traffic calming measures have been identified:
• Curb Bulb-outs
• Speed Tables/Raised Crosswalk
• Designated/Marked Crosswalks
• Roundabouts
• Curb Adjacent Parking
These traffic calming measures are discussed in detail
in the following section. The appropriate application,
locarion and timing of the construction and installation
of these traffic calming measures shall be determined
by the City's Traffic Engineer.

historical heritage and aspire to respect Old Towds required to demonstrate consistency with the
historic past. The implementation of the Design recommendations outlined in this chapter.
Guidelines will preserve Old Towds unique character.
During the visioning process the preservation of Old
Town's historic core emerged as an overarching theme
for the Old Town Specific Plan's comprehensive
amendment. As such, the Design Guidelines provide an
implementation tool far this goal in order to protect and
preserve Old Towds historic core.
This chapter includes a discussion of Old Town's
unique architectural history, the historical building
forms and historical building frontage rypes that were
prevalent during the late 1880s to 1940s. It also
includes a discussion of the historically appropriate
architectural sryles and building materials for Old
Town.
This chapter is intended to implement the goals and
policies related to historic preservation and architectural
authenticity within the Old Town area.
This chapter also includes a number of site planning
Design Guidelines which include recommendations for
the following: parking lots, landscaping, public art,
outdoor dining areas, paving materials, streetscape
design, alleys, utiliry and infrastructure design and
placement.
1.Relationship to the Urban Standards
The Design Guidelines are intended to be used in
concert with the Urban Standards and zoning
requirements contained in Chapter IV. The Design
Guidelines provide detailed architectural standards and

The purpose of the architectural design guidelines is to: insights into the early settlers. These early
buildings were carefully documented as part of the

design framework,
• Expedite design review through greater guideline
detail.
By the time Old Town Temecula was platted in 1884,
the Spanish had been building in southern California for
over a century. The early buildings of Old Town reflect
the architectural melting pot of American traditions and
European ideas that were adapted to the conditions in
southern California. The names of some of the
Temecula pioneers who first built in Old Town reveal
their origins: Welty is Swiss/German, Machado is
Portuguese/Spanish, and Mouren is French. The
structures built in Old Town by 1930 established an
important historical foundation of building forms,
frontage types, architectural styles, and materials.
Spanish Colonial, Mission and Monterey styles were
introduced in southern California first. Early settlers
also introduced architectural traditions from the eastern
U.S. and Europe such as American Mercantile, Neo-
Classical, and Victorian. By 1927, even modernist
influences are evident. During years 1884 through
1927, Temecula built a diverse mix of architectural
sryles that were common in towns across the west. In
the design of future buildings in Old Town, these
traditions are the most authentic and appropriate to use
as references for architectural style. Sections B and C
(below) describe these historic buildings in more detail,
focusing on the topics of building form, architectural
style,frontage type,and materials.

The Palomar Hotel consists of two separate buildings
with a courtyard between them. The simple rectangular --
volumes contain the main hotel building on Front `�� ,
Street, and an ancillary building with garages and an " � �p • �� � � �
apartment above on Fifth Street. The flat-topped arches ,
�'
support an arcade. With enclosed space above the � -� � �
public sidewalk, this was the first arcade built in � . � -�" 'i"
� � � �
Temecula. The windows are approximately � � -� '� '�� �
symmetrical. The Palomar Hotel is architecturally �����y�- � , � � ' � � ?' ;
important in Old Town, because it represents a cross ���rn'a� � �
between Spanish revival(white walls, arched openings) � � �� '�—���� � �
and the modern movement (simple, clean volumes � ��_.. ;�f�•7.
lacking ornamentation). The non-circular arches denote I�� L�� l"' � 7..'��
that it is not a masonry structure, but rather an � �-
exploration into the new formal and structural
possibilities of stucco. It is the first building with
�._
`modern' influences built in Old Town before 1930. A
more detailed discussion of the early years of the
modern movement in southern California is addressed

the sidewalk and street, exterior stairs may not occupy
the area between the build-to line and the frontage
property line (Figure V-42a). If the exterior stairway is
within 6 feet of the build-to line, it must be oriented
perpendicular to the build-to line (Figure V-42b).
Exterior stairs are encouraged in forecourts if they
conform to the afore-menrioned rules(Figure V-42c).In
the drawings below, the dashed line is the build-to line,
the heavy solid line is the frontage property line, and
the double line is the curb. Stairs for residential stoops
are the exception, and are permitted to be located
between the build-to line and fronting property line(see
Figure V-39).

Color Palette
Spanish ColoniaUMission architecture is typified by
simple white and off-white wall colors. While other
light pastels might be proposed,their use is discouraged
in favor of white, beige or white with an antique wash
finish. Trim colors appropriate to this style include
primary shades of blue and red, terracotta, aqua,
medium to dark shades of green, and brown. Colors
should be selected from the Sherwin Williams
Preservation Palette (see the appendices section of the
Specific Plan); however other colors may also be
appropriate and will be considered on a case-by-case
basis as approved by the Director of Planning.

have been aware of this movement, for it is the first

One of the leading figures in this movement was � � �
California architect Irving Gill, who designed many - �"� ' =-- �
buildings in San Diego and Los Angeles. In a 1916 � � �
essay, Gill argued against historical revivalism, and in �'.�-_ '� ,
favor of simplified forms: "the straight line, the arch,
the cube and the circle." He advocated design based on � �
modern reason as opposed to being based on historical , � '

revival. He believed that architecture should have o;
simple forms and subtle details, and "leave the i` �
ornamentation of it to Nature." The examples of Irving `� �� �

Color Palette
The wide range of colors which might have been used
for exterior decoration in the late 1800s are well
represented in the Sherwin-Williams Preservation
Exterior Palette (see the appendices section of the
Specific Plan). These are historic 19th Century hues
that capture the grace and elegance of another era.
While use of these colors is recommended,other similar
colors will be considered. The Temecula Planning
Department maintains a full color brochure of the
Sherwin-Williams Preservation Exterior Palette for
public inspection. The Director of Planning may also
identify other color palettes for Old Town that have the
potential to achieve the same results.

Frontier Style
The storefront on the ground floor is a key element in
creating a successful pedestrian environment. The
design elements of the storefront are similar to the
American Mercantile style, as shown in Figure V-79
below.
The glazed area of the storefront should be between 75
percent and 85 percent of the ground floor fa�ade.

What is Public Art?
Public art is a creative work that is part of the public
experience and integrated into the built and natural
environment.
The expansion,cultivation and preservation of a diverse
pubic art collection in Old Town is essential to the
enhancement of the built environment and quality of life
in the area.There is a firm commitment to providing high
quality,relevant public art while preserving Old Town's
historical context and unique character. The careful
balance of development with artistic and cultural
expression within the planning area will achieve a strong
cultural identity, animate the public realm and celebrate
creativity and innovation. Public art can be a memorable
and energetic part of the public domain and can contribute
to making Old Town a dynamic and vibrant place within
the City of Temecula.
Why is Public Art important? �
Public art creates a sense-of-place and collective �" � �
community identity. It enhances the public realm and �
encourages social gathering and interaction. It provides _ *. �"
opportunities for community members to use open and �•�•��, '� _ �
public spaces actively,meet and mingle with others,and _
participate in everyday community interactions. It _
promotes a sense of civic pride and beautifies the
pedestrian environment. Public art also adds interest to `
the public realm by reflecting cultural diversity, rich ;�
historical heritage and distinct identity.All of these things 'ti. - ,_ i�
contribute to a high quality of life in Old Town and play � - - �
an important role in the success of an eclectic urban �'

4. Case Study#4:Murrieta Creek Walk
Old Town has historically turned its back to Murrieta
Creek,using land along the creek for backyards, storage �
and parking. The proposed flood control improvements
provide the opportunity for Old Town to create a ',;', �9Ef-'_CED�S STR.EET
