On January 6, 2004, the applicant submitted the revised supergraphic to include the following changes: . Elimination of the text "Salon Day Spa" . Addition of flower borders on all four corners Addition of darker colors as a background PROJECT DESCRIPTION Planning Application No. PA03-0685, submitted by Western Financial Management Services Incorporated is an Administrative Development Plan application to design and locate a supergraphic on the west building elevation of the Old Town Temecula Salon & Day Spa building located at 41925 Third Street. The area in which the supergraphic will be located is a 15-feet by wide by 17-feet high area. The design of the supergraphic is a turn of the century rendering of a woman that appears to have just stepped out of a beauty salon (see the attached exhibits). ANALYSIS The Old Town Temecula Specific Plan requires that supergraphics either advertise or depict a product that may have been available in an 1890's market place. The supergraphic is meeting this requirement. The Specific Plan encourages the use of murals and supergraphics that do not adyertise a business. The Specific Plan requires supergraphics to not exceed 60% of the wall surface in which the supergraphic is located. The proposed supergraphic does not exceed more than 60% of the wall surface. As designed the supergraphics size is consistent with the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan. The location of the supergraphic is in a prominent location yisible from Third Street. The applicant is aware that any development to the vacant pad to the west may block this visibility. In order for the supergraphic to look authentic the applicant has selected colors that are not on the approved Sherwin Williams color palette for Old Town. Staff supports the proposed colors as they appear on the rendering and agrees with the applicant. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board provide comments and direction to address the previously stated concerns that staff has with the proposed request. Staff also requests that the Board recommend approval for Planning Application No. PA03-0685. Attachments 1.

The review of the updated Specific Plan is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. at our January 12, 2004 meeting. We expect this meeting to be a long one, so lunch will be provided. The purpose of the meeting will be get the Boards comments and concerns with the proposed revisions to the Old Town Specific Plan. As you recall, earlier this year, we started a process to update the Old Town Specific Plan. The OTLRB held several meetings with staff to develop additional guidelines for public art, outdoor dining and sidewalk furniture, accessory structures, pocket parks, newspaper racks and vending machines, outdoor vendors, advertising and sign design guidelines, and temporary uses. As a result of this input, staff has updated and revised the Old Town Specific Plan to integrate this new material into the Plan and update some of the pictures and diagrams, and remoye obsolete information. A summary of the changes to the Old Town Specific Plan are as follows: Section I. Introduction Recognizes that the General Plan identifies Old Town Temecula as a Village Center. Section II. Development Framework Deletes the justification/need discussion for the Specific Plan, as well as the summary of infrastructure and implementation plans. Section II now focuses on the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan and contains the overall infrastructure plans (as required by State law) that are currently located in Section V. Goal and policy references haye been added that support the proposed Murrieta Creek trail. Section III. Development Standards Updates the format of the permitted use matrix, remoyes redundant land uses, and reorganizes this Section. The current deyelopment incentive (bonus) proYisions have been incorporated directly into the Specific Plan as standard proYisions. These include the mixed use projects, and three- story building heights in the Tourist Retail Core, The elimination of the offstreet parking requirement for most of the businesses in the Tourist Retail Core is also clearly stated. We are proposing that a parking requirement be retained for hotels and motels. R:\OTSPlSpecific Plan Textl2OO3 RevisionslChanges Summary Memo to OTLRB.doc ,-', While the overall land use pattern for the Old Town Specific Plan will remain the same, there are some minor adjustments being proposed. The adjustments are as follows: . The Community Commercial/Tourist Support zone (located south of Second Street) is being eliminated and added into the Tourist Retail Core. . The shopping center across the street from the Post Office will also be added into the Tourist Retail Core (from the Community Commercial District). . The service station at the corner of Rancho California Road and Old Town Front Street will be added into the Specific Plan (in the Highway Tourist Commercial District). . The boundary between the Highway Tourist Commercial and Community Commercial will be modified to add two properties across the street from the Temecula Museum into the Community Commercial area (from the Highway Tourist Commercial area). The location of the channel for Murrieta Creek will be shown more accurately. Section IV. Design Guidelines The architectural style guidelines are not changing. Additional guidelines and standards haye been added for public art, outdoor dining areas, detached structures, fences, walls, awnings,. pocket parks, and vending machines based upon direction provided by the OTLRB. All the Local Reyiew Board discussion has been relocated to Section V of the Plan. Section V. Implementation Program The current section is being deleted, though the required infrastructure discussions have been moved to Section II. The detailed implementation program is now obsolete and staff believes it also can be safely deleted from the Plan. The new Section V will contain all the discussions of the authority and operation of the local reyiew board, the historic preservation designations, as well as new maintenance requirements and the proposed additional enforcement proYisions. The Welty Building that was accidentally left out of the Plan when it was first adopted has been put back on the list. The list of historic structures has also been updated to reflect the four building that have been demolished. Following the Old Town Local Review Board's review of the updated Plan, staff will begin the process of preparing the Plan for the hearing and approval process.
