COMMISSION BUSINESS
4 Reauest to approve an interim policy addressina development proposals in the Chaparral
Special Study Area while the General Plan is beina updated. The interim policv further
refines how the Chaparral criteria will be implemented and is expected to be consistent with
the General Plan after it is updated
RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Recommend City Council Approval of the Chaparral Interim Policy
Principal Planner Hogan presented a staff report (of record), noting the following:
That in developing the proposed policy, staff had discussions with an ad hoc City
Council Subcommittee as well as the General Plan Community Advisory Committee
(CAC);
. That both groups were of the opinion that development proposals that protect sensitive
open space areas and provide local trail connections are desirable and have the highest
potential for community wide benefits;
. That the proposed interim policy is as follows:
.
0 Limit the gross density in the Chaparral area to one dwelling unit per acre, except
for the tier of lots adjacent to Ynez Road where a density of two dwelling units
per acre would be more appropriate;
0 That a one unit per acre density allow half-acre sized lots to help preserve
sensitive open space and habitat areas;
0 That all future developments provide trail dedications for the Citywide trail
network when possible;
That the City Council reviewed the policy direction received from the Subcommittee
and the Commission Advisory Commission (CAC) and refer the matter to the
Planning Commission for a formal recommendation.
For the Commission, Mr. Hogan relayed that the land uses that are currently in the General
Plan uses are currently in the General Plan interim policy; and that what is being proposed
is to allow ì2 acre lots in what is currently a one-acre zoning district; that there are two
different situations being proposed, one would be for the ì2 acre lots and the other project
area is for the one-acre density with the ability to go down to an ì2 lots if the remaining is set
is some form of open space.
.
R:\MinutesPC\O42104

.
.
.
Mr. Hogan also relayed that for City-owned trails, proper maintenance would include:
regular inspections, repairs and resurfacing as needed, weed control, safety signage, and
stripping (if hard surfaced); that when the City trail facilities are constructed in easement
areas, City liability for the trail is still covered through the General Plan Liability Policy;
however, non-trail related liability will still remain the responsibility of the underlying property
owners.
Mr. Hogan further clarified that the proposed project is designed for large parcels; that it is a
voluntary policy; that it would not apply to a person who would desire to build a home on their
own lot; and that it would only apply if one were to have subdivisions of land.
At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.
Mr. Larry Markham, 41045 Enterprise Circle relayed that he is in favor of the project and noted
that the proposed project would cut the density in half for the vast majority of the area with the
exception of the parcels that are immediately adjacent to Ynez; and that it would allow flexibility
on how to site the parcels with regard to clustering.
At this time, the Public Hearing was closed.
MOTION: Commissioner Guerriero moved to approve staff's recommendation. Commissioner
Mathewson seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
It was the consensus of the Commission to combine Item No.5 and 7.

7 Planninq Application No. PA03-0726 a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow the sales of
beer and wine (Tvpe 20 License) in an existina Taraet Buildina. located at 29676 Rancho
California Road
Associate Planner Long presented a staff report (as per agenda material), noting the following:
. That the proposed project is for a minor CUP that includes the Public Necessity and
Findings for Target to sell beer and wine on site;
. That the separation of criteria in the Development Code requires 500 feet separation
from any schools, parks, hospitals, or religious institution;
. That staff was able to make the findings and recommends the approval for a minor
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as well as the findings for convenience;
R:\MinutesPC\0421 04
3
. That at this time, Target does not sell any alcohol or liquor; and that this is its first
proposal.
.
At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.
Ms. Beth Aboulafia, 260 Calitornia Street, representing Target, relayed the following:
. That Target started selling wine at its stores in California two years ago;
. That currently there are 40 stores in Northern California that are licenses and have been
selling wine;
. That due to its success, Target started expanding the program to its stores in Southern
California;
. That Target has not had any problems or violations with selling to minors at any of the
stores that have already been licensed in California;
. That the application is for a Type 20 off site beer and wine license;
. That there will be no consumption on the premises;
. That although its a beer and wine license, Target will only be selling wine;
. That all Target Stores have only been selling wine;
. That the sales of wine will only represent 3% of sales; but that it would be a complement
to the food and beverage products that Target currently has in its market section and will
be a convenience to Target's customers;
.
. That Target employees will be provided a training program relating to alcohol and
beverage sales that is specific to the laws and regulations to California;
. That there have been no objections from the few neighboring residents;
. That there have been no objections from the Police Department;
. That wine bottles will be located in the market section of Target;
At this time, the Public Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Guerriero is of the opinion that there is no need or convenience to approve a
Type 20 beer and wine license.
For Commissioner Olhasso, Ms- Ubnoske relayed that currently there are no plans for
redevelopment in the Target Center.
Commissioner Mathewson expressed concern with approving another license for beer and wine
sales in the area.

.
.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that when the state turned the jurisdiction
over to the Cities, they did not give any criteria; and that the City Attorney developed the criteria
for staff that is fairly consistent with other jurisdictions across the state.
Commissioner Chiniaeff expressed concern with denying the proposed item stating that the
census tract boundary is arbitrary and that if the City is going to allow establishments to sell
alcohol in commercial zones (which is established in the zoning ordinance), that the City should
be consistent and; therefore, either allow more establishments to sell alcohol, or that if the
Commission is of the opinion that there is over-concentration of Type 20 licenses, then the
zoning ordinance should be changed; and that it would be inequitable to allow some stores to
sell and others to not sell.
Chairman Telesio is of the opinion that staff should be reviewing the zoning ordinance; that he
finds it difficult to approve these findings of convenience for large box type stores and deny
sales to smaller outlets.
For the Commission, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that changing the zoning ordinance to not permit
alcohol sales in commercial zones would be a huge detriment to economic development.
Assistant City Attorney Curly relayed that the Commission has the ability on each discretionary
land use decision to look at the specific criteria.
.MQI!Q.!':!: Commissioner Chiniaeff moved to approve the findings of Public Convenience.
Commissioner Olhasso seconded the motion voice vote reflected denial with the exception of
Commissioner Chiniaeff who voted ~.
MOTION: Commissioner Olhasso moved to denv PC Resolution No. 2002-019 due to the fact
that the nature of the proposed use is detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of
the community because the census tract is over-saturated with liquor licenses at this time.
Commissioner Guerriero seconded the motion and voice vote reflected denial of Minor
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the exception of Commissioner Chiniaeff wiiõVOted No.
Commissioner Chiniaeff requested that staff have the City Council evaluate their commercial
uses as related to alcohol permits.

(4) new live palm trees.
At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.
Mr- Gil Gonzales, 150 Paularino Avenue, representing Cingular Wireless, noted the following:
. That with an antenna at 39 feet at the proposed site would include a 45 foot monopalm

to the north/west and does not extend as much coverage to the west as desired.
At this time, Mr. Gil distributed additional pictures of alternative sites that were considered by
Cingular Wireless, which also included a list of the properties that were investigated.
Mr. Mashesh Kolush, 150 Paularino Avenue, Radio Frequency Engineer for Cingular Wireless,
further clarified line of site technology and RF emissions.

Impact Analysis".
Mr. Gonzales relayed the following in response to residents' concerns:

proposed area is in the center of the search ring; that the height has also been
determined with RF propagation maps and what Cingular Wireless is trying to cover; and
that Cingular Wireless is trying to provide coverage for the 300 tract homes to the south;
. That a generator would only be used if the power were to completely fail;
. That the noise that would be heard would be similar to a computer fan;
That Cingular Wireless hired a real estate consultant firm to evaluate the property values
of homes that are within ¥2 mile radius of Cingular Wireless Cell Sites; and that it was

newspaper and that individual agencies were sent notice of intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

were raised by residents in regard to aesthetics, noise, and property values is not significant,
but that in regard to screening efforts, would request that the proposed project be lowered to 39
feet; and that this would allow the proposed monopalm to blend in better with the surrounding
palms.
. Commissioner Guerriero concurred with Commissioner Mathewson's comments including the
height from SO feet to 39 feet.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
~1.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed;
however, the following issues have not been resolved to the satisfaction to staff.
ANALYSIS
The proprietor of the Beacon Lounge has applied for an Administrative Development Plan (ADP)
to construct a 550 square-foot outdoor seating/smoking area in conjunction with the existing
lounge. The area is proposed to be fenced with an eight-foot high wall around an existing
landscaped area containing three mature eucalyptus trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The
applicant proposes to remove all of the existing landscaping on the south side of the building to
clear and prepare the floor area to accommodate tables and chairs. The proposed fence will be
made of a four-foot high horizontal lapped wood siding section painted to match the existing
building and an additional four-foot high clear plexiglass section to provide visibility. The primary
access to the fenced outdoor area will be through a new door to be added to the south side of
the building. In response to Fire Department comments raised at DRC, the applicant has agreed
to install an emergency exit with panic hardware in the new fence. The ADP submittal package
was routed for review by other departments- There were no significant issues presented that
could not be resolved through conditions of ápproval.
.
The applicant has expressed concern with Planning Department conditions of approval
regarding landscaping. At DRC, the applicant was informed that more landscaping would be
required as replacement for the landscaping to be removed. The applicant was advised to plant
vines or shrubs along the outside base of the fence, to incorporate live plantings in clay pots
near the entrance to the lounge, and to plant a cluster of small trees in the southwest corner of
the outdoor area. The applicant's revised plans indicated one sago palm in the corner and a
total of three clay pots. The applicant made it clear to staff that this was as much as he was
willing to provide and, therefore, staff made an administrative decision to have this item come
before the Planning Commission for review and approval.
.
R:\D P\2003\O3-O7I7 Club BeaconIPC STAFF REPORT,dot
.
.
.
Staff recommends that the applicant be conditioned to move the fence inward approximately 18
inches from the drive aisle to accommodate landscape materials that match the commercial
building landscaping on the south side of the drive aisle (Condition of Approval number 10).
Staff recommends that the proposed sago palm tree be exchanged for another tree species that
is present on site. (Condition of Approval number 11). There are currently no other sago palms
within the center. Staff also recommends that the doors on the existing trash enclosure behind
the west side of the proposed fencing be replaced with doors that match the trash enclosure on
the other (south) side of the drive aisle (Condition of Approval number 12).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
~1.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has
been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Class 1,
Section 15301 (e) (1))
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDA TION
Staff has determined that the proposed development plan, subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval, for the Beacon Lounge complies with the provisions of the Development Code. As a
result, staff recommends approval of the proposed development plan as conditioned.
FINDINGS
Development Plan (Code Section 17.05.010F)
1.
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all
applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances of the city.
The proposal is consistent with the lard use designation and policies reflected for Service
Commercial (SC) development in the City of Temecula General Plan, as well as the
development standards for the Service Commercial (SC) Zone in the City of Temecula
Development Code. The site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be
physically suitable for a commercial retail use.
2.
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
The fencing proposed for the outdoor seating/smoking area is consistent with the existing
center's architecture, the Design Guidelines, and the Commercial Performance
Standards of the Development Code. The project has been reviewed for, and as
conditioned, can be found to be consistent with, all applicable policies, guidelines,
standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed
and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare.

The patio fencing enclosure will be constructed so as not to allow patrons to pass
alcohol to personnel outside the enclosed patio area. Furthermore, the entry/exit point
to the patio will be from the main entry into the business. Any other exit areas will be for
"emergency exit" only and entry from the outside into the patio area should be restricted.
If recurring problems should occur because of alcohol being passed to juveniles or other
personnel from the general public through the fencing, the Temecula Police Department,
at its discretion, reserve the right to approach the City's Planning Commission and
request the fencing requirements be amended.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
~1.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed,
however, the following issues have not been resolved to the satisfaction to staff.
ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2001, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA 01-
0611, a Development Plan to allow for the construction of 400 apartment units and 121,000
square feet of commercial/office/retail space on approximately 32 acres. At the time of approval,
projects such as this were not required by the Development Code to prepare a sign program
concurrently with the Development Plan. Building elevations for the project did not indicate
proposed location for signs, and the project was not conditioned to prepare a sign program.
.
The apartments and the Village commercial area of Temecula Creek Village are currently under
construction. The owner of Temecula Creek Village has commissioned Motivational Systems to
prepare a Comprehensive Sign Program for the development. On March 25, 2004, the applicant
submitted a Comprehensive Sign Program Application for the Village commercial area consisting
of four office/retail buildings that are one- or two-stories in height. Since the Planning
Commission did not have a prior opportunity to review signage for this project, staff made an
administrative decision to bring this sign program to the Planning Commission for review and
approval. The applicant is also proposing second-story signage on one building, which is
another factor that influenced staff's decision.
The sign program proposes ten different types of signs, for a combined total of 52 signs. The
sign program provides clear direction on the number of signs permitted for each sign type as
follows:
Sign A, Project Entry Identification, 1 sign
.
Sign B, Main Entry Major Tenant Monument, 1 sign (6 panels x 2 sides = 12 panels)
.
RolS;gn,I2004\PA04,O215 Mot;vationol Sy,¡eOliISTAFF REPORT,doc
2
.
.
.
Sign C, Secondary Major Office Tenant Monument, 2 signs (4 panels x 2 sides x 2 signs
= 16 panels)
Sign D, Primary Freestanding Multi-Tenant Directory, 1 sign
Sign E, Retail Tenant Identification Arcade Sign, 15 signs
Sign F, Upper Floor Tenant Identification, 6 signs (2 panels x 1 side x 6 signs = 12
panels)
Sign G, Major Office Tenant Identification, 4 signs
Sign H, Secondary Office Tenant Directory Lobby Sign, 3 signs
Sign I, Retail Tenant Rear Door Identification Sign, 14 signs
Sign J, Building Address Plaque, 5 signs
Staff has reviewed the proposed sign program and compared it to the sign regulations in the
Development Code. Staff feels that the overall quality of design will enhance the development,
but some of the proposed signs do not conform to the design standards found in the
Development Code. The following is a description of the conflicting areas:
Sions Band C. These signs are internally illuminated cabinet signs with detachable face
plates for tenant identification. These signs are identical in their use of materials, but
sign B is taller and can accommodate two extra panels on each side. Combined, these
two signs can accommodate a total of 28 (5'6" by 6") panels. The Development Code
requires architectural elements at the top, base and sides of these signs. As proposed,
these signs only meet this requirement at the base. The sides and the top of these signs
propose a faux finish on the cabinet to resemble a slate appearance. Also, the tenant
panels extend across the width of the sign face, preventing architectural elements from
being placed on the sides. Signs Band C as proposed are at the maximum height
permitted by code. Incorporating architectural elements on the top of the signs will
require a reduction in overall height for each sign. As proposed, there is sufficient room
on the sides of both signs to add an architectural element.
The applicant has expressed this design as the preferred alternative. Staff feels there is
a need to enhance these signs by adding architectural elements to the top and sides of
each sign, per the Development Code. (Conditions of Approval number 13 through 15).
Sian E. These signs are internally illuminated cabinet signs with removable face plates
for tenant identification. While wall mounted cabinet signs are prohibited, the
Development Code is silent on cabinet signs mounted under an arcade. These signs are
held in-place with an ornamental wrought iron bracket. As a result, the cabinet signs and
the wrought iron will have uniform shape and size (13.5 square feet) for all storefronts,
with a minimum eight foot clearance from the sidewalk to the underside of the sign. Staff
is concerned with the issue of internal illumination. As a proposed Condition of Approval,
staff recommends the insertion of an opaque backing plate behind the sign face,
stamped or cut in such a way to illuminate only the text and graphic elements of the sign
R,lSigns\2004\PAO4-0215 Motivational SystemslSTAFF REPORTdoc
3
face. Other suitable methods of preventing the background of the sign copy from being
illuminated shall be considered to address this issue (Condition of Approval number 16).
.
Sian F. These signs are similar in nature to Sign E, but are intended for second-story
tenants. Each sign will have two removable face plates with a maximum area of five
square feet each. These signs will be attached to the sides of the building at
approximately mid-level of the second story with ornamental wrought iron brackets
similar to those used for Sign E. Again, staff is concerned with the issue of internal
illumination, and recommends Condition of Approval number 16 to address this issue.
Staff has no issues with any of the other proposed signage.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
IX] 1.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has
been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Class 11,
Accessory Structures, Section 15311 (a))
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDA TION
Staff has determined that the proposed Sign Program, subject to the proposed Conditions of
Approval, for the Temecula Creek Village development complies with the purpose and intent of
the sign standards of the Development Code. Staff believes the proposed sign program will
enhance the development and more fully accomplish adopted sign standards. As a result, staff
recommends approval of the proposed sign program as conditioned.
.
FINDINGS
Sign Program (Code Section (17.28.080B)
1.
The proposed sign program will preserve and improve the appearance of the City as
viewed from Highway 79 South, and the allowable signage is appropriate for effective
business signage by combining common design elements.
2.
The sign program accommodates future revisions which may be required due to changes
in building tenants.
3.
The proposed sign program, as conditioned, satisfies the intent or objectives of the
Development Code and will enhance the development. The proposed program results in
appropriate sign age that compliments the building architecture and aesthetics.

SI!AGE DESIGN THEME: TEMECULA CIEK
The primary obiective in the signage design for Temecula Creek was to create an image and a mood consistent with Temecula's unique atmosphere: quaint
vineyard charm with the conveniences of modern development. We also wanted to create a continuous theme within the mixed-use development including
Temecula Creek Village Retail and the gated residential area by utilizing a slight variation of the same logo.
The timeless, up-scale, craftsman-style logomark was rendered with a color-palette change to differentiate the two developments while still tying them together
os 0 community. The residentiollogo will appear in stained glass while the retail logo will be in dark rust and bronze.
Natural materials and earthy colors in the sign are enhanced by the surrounding terrain and illustrate the builder's attention to detail and concern for the city's
environment. Open sign structures emulate the square shape of the logomark and further demonstrate the quality of the builder.
Signs are also intended to creote a sense of arrival and permanence in the community with striking details and illumination, while still functioning as visible,
legible directional signoge for both pedestrian and vehicular woyfinding.

TENANT SIGN CRITERIA
The effective regulation of signage, while insuring proportional exposure for all tenants in a multi-use retail development, is an important factor in the success
of the development. Guidelines which provide signage as an architectural design element will contribute to the character of the community. It is the intent of the
following guidelines to define criteria which will generate a balanced and effective signage program. Conformance to the criteria shall be strictly enforced ond any
non-conforming signs shall be removed by the tenant or his sign contractor at their expense.

STAFF REPORT - PLANNING
CITY OF TEMECULA
PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 16, 2004
Planning Application No. PA04-0297 (Development Code Amendment)
Prepared By: Matthew Harris, Associate Planner
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2004--
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA AMENDING TITLE
17 OF THE TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH
REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIVATE HELIPORTS IN VARIOUS
ZONES AND MAKE OTHER MINOR CHANGES"
BACKGROUND
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application was submitted for a private heliport in the Light
Industrial zone (42580 Rio Nedo). The CUP was approved by the Planning Director at the October
9, 2003 Directors Hearing and subsequently appealed by Councilman Jeff Stone. The justification
for the appeal indicated that the proposed rooftop heliport raises many important land use issues
which should be considered by the City Council including public safety and land use compatibility.
Councilman Stone was concerned that no criteria currently exists within the Development Code to
specifically analyze these types of facilities.
In an effort to respond to the appeal and to prepare special standards, staff surveyed sixteen local
jurisdictions to determine if they had regulations pertaining to private heliports. Nine of the
jurisdictions had regulations (see Attachment No.4). The regulations varied widely in scope and
detail. Based on these regulations and discussions with the State Aeronautics Division, staff has
drafted proposed development standards specifically for private heliport facilities which would be
incorporated into the Development Code. None of the standards are mandated by the State. The
proposed Development Code amendment would make the following changes to the Development
Code:
Amend Section 17.08.030 to authorize private heliports in the Professional Office zone as a
conditional use.
Amend Section 17.08.030 to authorize private heliports for hospitals only in the Community
Commercial (CC), Highway Tourist Commercial (HTC) and Service Commercial (SC) zones.
Create siting and design criteria in Section 17.10 applicable to all private heliports-
Create a supplemental approval finding specific to private heliport facilities.
R:\D P\2002\02-0478 Private HelipadlST AFFRPT PC.doc
Add the following definitions to Section 17-34.010: Helicopter, Private Heliport, Private
Heliport for Hospital and Touchdown Liftoff Area.
.
ANALYSIS
Development Code Section 17.08.030 allows heliports as a conditional use in the Business Park
(BP) and Light Industrial (LI) zones. Moreover, Section 17.12.030 allows heliports as a conditional
use in the Public Institutional (PI) zone. Currently, heliports are subject to the general development
standards of a particular zoning district and the general conditional use permit and development
code findings to be approved.
The City's conditional use permit process includes transmittal of a proposed heliport facility to the
Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission which evaluates conformance with airport land use
plans and land use compatibility. Upon approval of a conditional use permit at the local level, an
applicant must obtain an airspace determination from the Federal Aviation Administration which
confirms that proposed flight paths will not conflict with existing paths. Finally, the applicant must
obtain a permit from the State Aeronautics Division which reviews the design and location of the
facility relative to surrounding hazards such as tall buildings. The Aeronautics Division also
undertakes a final inspection of the facility to ensure compliance with applicable design standards.
Heliports in Expanded Areas of the City
Staff believes the popularity of and need for private heliports may expand in the future given the ever
increasing constraints on the regional transportation system- Given this potential increase, staff
recommends that private heliports also be allowed in the Professional Office (PO) zoning district as
a conditional use to better serve business owners and executives. Moreover, staff recommends that
private hospital heliports also be allowed as a conditional use in the Community Commercial (CC),
Highway Tourist Commercial (HTC) and Service Commercial (SC) zones so as to better
accommodate a potential hospital facility in these areas of the City.
Specific Development Standards and Approval Findinqs
.
In addition authorizing private heliports as a conditional use in the Professional Office zone and
allowing private heliports for hospitals only in the CC, SC and HTC zoning districts, staff has also
drafted siting and design criteria which address the following:
Prohibiting the siting of private heliport facilities within 1,000 feet of existing or designated
schools, public parks and existing and future assembly facilities having 500 persons or more
seating capacity. (These requirements would serve to prohibit future uses such schools,
churches and other large assembly uses on property within 1,000 feet of existing approved
heliport facilities).
Prohibiting the siting of the heliport's touchdown liftoff area within required yards nor within
ten (10) feet of property lines.
Requiring that the touchdown liftoff area be surfaced with appropriate materials and ensuring
that lighting used for nighttime operations does not adversely impact adjacent residences.
Prohibiting the siting of the touchdown liftoff area within twenty-five (25) feet of roof openings
and exits.
.
R:\P P\2002\O2-0478 Private HelipadlSTAFFRPT PC.doc
.
Requiring that flight operations only occur between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm
weekdays except for emergency medical flights and requiring a Temporary Use Permit to
operate on Saturdays and Sundays.
Other Chances
In order to better interpret the proposed Development Code provisions three definitions should be
added to the Development Code including Helicopter, Private Heliport, and T ouchdown/Liftoff Area.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed amendment to the Municipal Code would create specific development standards and
approval criteria for private heliports. However, proposed amendments would not directly allow the
construction of the heliport facilities. Therefore, the proposed changes to the Municipal Code will not
have an effect on the physical environment as described in the questions contained in the Initial
Environmental Study. When a specific application for a private heliport is filed with the City, a
determination will be made at that time as to the type of environmental review that is required to
comply with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, this amendment
to the Municipal Code is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the
CEQA Guidelines given that the project has no potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment.

Not applicable
The proposed project is a text amendment to the Development
Code (Title 17 of Municipal Code) that would establish specific
development standards for private heliport facilities. Generally, the
Amendment would make the following changes:
Define Helicopter, LandingfTakeoff pattern, Private Heliport
and Touchdown/Liftoff area;
Create Supplemental Heliport Development Standards in
Section 17.10 of the City Development Code applicable to all
private heliports;
Authorize private heliports in the Professional Office zone as
a conditional use;
Authorize private heliports for hospitals only as a conditional
use in the Community Commercial (CC), Highway Tourist
Commercial (HTC) and Service Commercial (SC) zones.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by
the ro'ect ro onent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be re ared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is re uired
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant
unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in
an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is re uired, but it must anal ze onl the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are

Comments:
No Impact. The proposed amendment to the Municipal Code would create specific development standards
and approval criteria for private heliports. Moreover, the amendment would authorize private heliports as a
conditional use in the Professional Office (PO) zoning district and would authorize private heliports for
hospitals with a conditional use permit within the Community Commercial (CC), Highway Tourist Commercial
(HTC) and Service Commercial (SC) zones. The proposed amendments would not directly authorize an
entitlement to construct any heliport facilities. The proposed changes to the Municipal Code will not directly
have an effect on the physical environment as described in the questions contained in this Initial
Environmental Study. When a specific application for a private heliport is filed with the City, a determination
will be made at that time as to the type of environmental review that is required to comply with the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, this amendment to the Municipal Code is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR,

BACKGROUND
On October 9, 2003, the Planning Director approved PA 02-0478, a Conditional Use Permit and
Development Plan to construct, establish and operate a 400 square-foot private heliport to be
located on the roof of an existing industrial building. Subsequently on October 24, 2003 an
appeal of the Planning Director's decision was filed by Councilman Jeff Stone.
ANALYSIS
The justification for the appeal indicated that the proposed rooftop heliport raises many
important land use issues which should be considered by the City Council including public
safety, land use compatibility and noise. Councilman Stone was concerned that no criteria
currently exists within the Development Code to specifically analyze these types of facilities.
In an effort to address these issues, staff has drafted supplemental development standards
specifically for private heliport facilities which would be incorporated into the Development
Code. This Development Code Amendment was previously presented to the Commission at
tonight's meeting as a separate item.
Staff has reviewed the proposed heliport project against the draft supplemental standards and
has determined that the project would fully conform to these provisions. Therefore, should the
Commission support the proposed Development Code Amendment, staff recommends that the
appeal be denied subject to an added project condition stating that:
.
"Approval of the project is contingent upon City Council adoption of a Development Code
Amendment establishing specific standards and regulations for private heliport facilities and a
finding that the project is in conformance with those adopted standards and regulations."
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the appeal and uphold the
Planning Director's decision to approve PA02-0478 subject to one additional condition of
approval as stated above.

Municipal Code:
Conditional Use Permit (17.04.010)
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code
The proposal, a private rooftop heliport facility, is consistent with the City of Temecula
General Plan including the Land Use and Circulation Elements. Land Use Element Goal
5 promotes '~ land use pattern and intensity of development that encourages alternative
modes of transportation". Circulation Element Goal 6 promotes "Safe and efficient
alternatives to motorized travel throughout the City. In addition, the proposes facility
conforms with all applicable Light Industrial (LI) development standards identified in the
Development Code including, but not limited to height and setback requirements. The
site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the
type of use proposed. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other
applicable requirements of State law and local ordinances, including the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
.
B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will
not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The project site is surrounded by industrial uses. The exterior noise generated by the
proposed heliport falls within acceptable levels for an industrial area. The facility, as
conditioned, will not adversely affect surrounding uses. Moreover, the helicopter flight
path will not encroach into residential areas.
C. The site of this proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed use 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 in the neighborhood.
Staff has reviewed the proposed project against the applicable development standards
of the City Development Code and has found that the project meets or exceeds all of the
standards.
D. The nature of the proposed use is not detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the community.
Staff has reviewed the proposed heliport facility and has found that as conditioned, the
facility will in no way be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the
community. The project has been reviewed and conditioned by the Federal Aviation
Administration, Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission, Fire Department and
Building and Safety Department.

modes of transportation". Circulation Element Goal 6 promotes "Safe and efficient
alternatives to motorized travel throughout the City- Moreover, the proposed facility
conforms with all applicable Light Industrial (LI) development standards identified in the
Development Code including, but not limited to height and setback requirements. The
site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the
type of use proposed. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other
applicable requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
B. The overall development of the helipad facility is designed for the protection of

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property owner is proposing to construct and operate a 400 square foot helipad facility on
the roof of an approximately 16,000 square foot existing industrial building located at 42580 Rio
Nedo within the West Side Business Park. Section 17.08.030 of the Development Code requires
a Conditional Use Permit for helipads.
The property owner is proposing to fly a Robinson R44 helicopter to and from the helipad
approximately twelve times a month. Flights may occur seven days a week and are restricted to
daylight hours. The facility will be utilized for corporate use only and will not be open to the
public. A Northeast/Southwest approach and departure path will be utilized by the helicopter.
The proposed four hundred square-foot helipad will be square in shape and will be constructed
at the northeast corner of the building. The pad will be constructed of extruded aluminum and
will be secured to the roof. Moreover, the height of the helipad will be level with the adjoining
roof parapet walls- In addition, an eight-foot tall stairwell doghouse will be constructed west of
the pad that will serve as the primary access to and from the roof.
.
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, the project site is less
than 5 acres in area and no significant environmental impacts will result.
ANALYSIS
The most potentially significant environmental impact associated with the proposed helipad is
noise. The applicant has provided noise impact data associated with the specific helicopter to
be utilized in association with the facility (Robinson R44). The noise data indicates that as the
helicopter is sitting on the helipad increasing power to take off, 44.5 dB CNEL are generated on
the ground within a 125 foot radius of the helipad. This number decreases to 38.5 dB CNEL at a
radius of 250 feet and 32.5 dB CNEL at a radius of 500 feet. The moment of take off is the
loudest period during the duration of the flight. As the helicopter ascends off the helipad. the
decibels heard on the ground decrease rapidly.
The subject property is located within an existing industrial park with a Light Industrial (LI)
zoning designation. Temecula General Plan Figure 8-1 provides a Land Use Compatibility
Matrix that identifies compatibility and acceptable limits of exterior noise for various land uses.
The matrix indicates that a maximum 70 dB CNEL is normally acceptable within a business park
consisting of wholesale, industrial and manufacturing uses. The noise generated from the
helicopter is anticipated to be well below that threshold. Therefore, noise impacts on industrial
.
R:ID P\2002\O2-<J478 Private HelipadlDH stafheport.doc
.
.
.
properties in the vicinity of the project site are not considered significant. Staff has also
determined that the proposed helipad complies with all applicable development standards
identified in the Development Code.
The proposed private helipad facility has also been reviewed and approved by the Riverside
County Airport Land Use Commission subject to several Conditions of Approval. Moreover, the
proposed helicopter approach and landing paths have been reviewed and approved by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) subject to several conditions.
Based on the above information, staff believes that required findings can be made for the
approval of the proposed helipad facility.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Director approve Planning Application No. PA02-
0478 (Conditional Use Permit/Development Plan) to construct and operate a private helipad
based upon the following findings and the attached Conditions of Approval.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
1:8:11.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed,
and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
02-
Staff has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, and
the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan.
.
ANALYSIS
The proposed project is a request for a three-story mixed use, office/retail building totaling
18,808 square feet. The Old Town Specific Plan requires a Conditional Use Permit for all mixed
use buildings. The current Old Town Specific Plan requires City Council approval of buildings
exceeding two-stories in height and the project has been conditioned accordingly.
The proposed mixed use building is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Old Town
Specific Plan and will implement the goal to "create a high quality and distinct Western image
and a functional, vibrant and aesthetically pleasing Old Town for Temecula" (SP, pg. 11-9).
The site plan is consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan and Development Code. Vehicular
access to the site will be provided from Fifth Street via a shared driveway with the abutting
parcels to the east along Front Street, and a public alley extending along the southerly property
line. Pedestrian access will be provided from Fifth Street and the alley, with an 8-foot wide
covered arcade and rear sidewalk encircling the building. The westerly half of the alley will be
closed off to vehicular traffic and improved by the applicant as a pedestrian plaza with
landscaping. street furniture, and decorative paving. A final alley construction detail will be
required as a condition of building permit issuance.
The building design conforms to the Old Town Specific Plan "Old Town Western" architectural
style guidelines. The three-story building will be approximately 40-feet tall and feature styling
details such as vertical cedar siding, corrugated metal roofs, wood trimmed windows, wood
picket railings, wooden column posts, and decorative building light fixtures. The applicant has
.
RIC U Pl2003103-0535 Penfold PbzalSTAFF REPORTdoc
also incorporated staff's request to add windows and storefronts along the rear side facing the
creek; add a storefront entrance and shed roof dormers over the lower windows along the alley
to help maintain the pedestrian scale of the alley; and to increase the projection of the center
"pop-ouf' feature on the east elevation to encompass the walkway. The building setback,
windows, and storefront entries along the rear will also enable that side of the building to
functionally interface with the planned pedestrian walkway along the creek.
.

.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has
been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review.
(Consistent with General Plan EIR)
The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the previously
approved (Negative Declaration) (EIR) and is exempt from further Environmental
Review (CEQA Section 15162 subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations).

potential significant environmental impacts unless mitigation measures are included as
conditions of approval. Based on the following mitigations, staff recommends adoption
of the mitigated Negative Declaration for the project.
CONCLUSION/R ECOMM EN DATION
The proposed project as conditioned is consistent with the current and proposed amended Old
Town Specific Plan. Three story buildings in the Tourist Retail Core are recommended in the

Town Local Review Board reviewed the application and unanimously recommended Planning
Commission approval.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The Old Town Specific Plan (OTSP) was approved on February 14,1994 following the approval
of the City's first General Plan on November 9, 1993. Since that time, there have been three
minor amendments related to parking and signage. City Staff and the Old Town Local Review
Board (OTLRB) began considering modifications to the Specific Plan in 2003. The result of this
lengthy process is the comprehensive update to the Old Town Specific Plan that is being
proposed for the Commission's consideration. A complete copy of the updated Old Town
Specific Plan is contained in Attachment No.4.
R~OTSP\PJan AmendmentsIPAO3.0158\StaffReport PCl.dot
The update consists of both organization and format changes, as well as more substantive
modifications. The primary content changes include modifications to the Land Use Plan, minor
clean-up items to the zoning standards within the Plan, the establishment of additional
guidelines for public art, outdoor dining areas, detached structures, fences, walls, awnings,
pocket parks, vending machines, and signage, and the modification of the parking requirements
in the Tourist Retail Core. The OTLRB considered these changes, and they are recommending
that the Planning Commission approve the updated Old Town Specific Plan. Nine Local Review
Board meetings were held between March 24, 2003 and June 14, 2004 to identify potential
amendments, develop additional standards, and review the draft of the Specific Plan.
The overall structure of the Old Town Specific Plan is being modified to remove a number of
obsolete items as well as consolidate the historic preservation requirements into a single
section. The current and proposed organizations are shown below.

Attachment No.5 contains a redline/strike out version of the current zoning standards from
Section III of the Specific Plan However, because of the number of proposed changes, the
organization of this Attachment is somewhat confusing. As a result, staff recommends that the
Commission focus on what is being added and deleted rather than how it appears to be
organized in this Attachment. The actual organization of Sections III and V in the Amended
Specific Plan do not have this problem.
Attachment No.6 contains the new material being included into the Design Guidelines (Section
IV of the Specific Plan).

Chanqes to the Land Use Map
While the overall concept of the Old Town Specific Plan will not change, there are a number of
changes being proposed to the Land Use Plan. The major changes focus on the expansion of
the Tourist Retail Core Planning District. None of these changes undermine the integrity or
goals of the Specific Plan. The specific Land Use Plan changes are as follows:
1.
Merging the Community Commercial-Tourist Support Area (at the south end of Old
Town) into the Tourist Retail Core Planning District. The Community Commercial
Tourist Support District is being removed from the Old Town Specific Plan.
2.
Expanding the Tourist Retail Core northward to include the shopping center immediately
north of the Sixth Street Parking Lot
The other changes being proposed for the Land Use Plan represent minor adjustments to better
reflect the underlying conditions. The other minor proposed Land Use boundary changes
include the following:
3.
Adding the Union 76 Service Station at the southeast corner of Rancho California Road
and Old Town Front Street into the Highway Tourist Planning Area in the Specific Plan.
The site was originally excluded from the Plan because of a concern that a service
station could not be constructed on the site if it was included within the Specific Plan.
However, when the site was actually developed, it incorporated appropriate design
components from the approved Specific Plan. As a result, considering that the service
station was developed in conformance with the Plan, there is no reason to not include it
within the OTSP.
4.
Moving the boundary adjustment between the Highway Tourist Commercial and
Community Commercial Planning Areas (across the street from the Museum) to shift two
parcels fro the Highway Tourist to Community Commercial area. These two lots are
oriented toward the core of Old Town, facing Sam Hicks Park, and have land uses that
are more appropriately designated as Community Commercial designation.
5.
A more accurate delineation of the Open Space Planning Area to match the actual future
creek channel location. The original location of the Open Space District in the OTSP
was largely a guess. This map change will provide a more accurate delineation which
should improve the development review process.
The proposed Land Use Plan is shown in Attachment No.7. An exhibit showing the current
land Use Plan are shown in Attachment No.8.
Permitted Use Matrix
One of the most apparent changes to the Specific Plan is the clean up to the permitted use
matrix. The original matrix had numerous repeat uses and was divided into a number of
subcategories that often made it difficult to determine if a use was permitted or not. The
proposed Plan Amendment consolidates these sub-lists into a single more consistent list using
the format of the City's Development Code. In addition, staff is also proposing a number of
minor changes to the list of possible uses. A description of the use changes is included in
Attachment No.9. The totality of these changes is expected to make this part of the Specific
Plan easier to use.
R~OTSP\Plan AmendmentsIPAO3-0158\StaffReport PC1.dot
Zonina and Development Standards
.
Mixed Use Provisions. One of the goals of the original Specific Plan was encourage additional
residential units in the Tourist Retail Core. These additional units were expected to assist in the
revitalization of Old Town and the creation of a vibrant village center. However, the current
Mixed Use Provisions are extremely restrictive and make it difficult to provide upper floor or rear
lot area residential uses. The proposed amendment would make the provision of these
accessory residential units easier. The proposed amendment would also bring future use
development projects in Old Town into full compliance with the current General Plan's Village
Center requirements as well as the Mixed Use provisions being considered as part of the
Updated General Plan.
The proposed amendment shifts the determination of the number of allowable units from a
numeric criterion to a site design criteria. For example, a proposed mixed used development on
a 50 foot wide and 150 foot deep lot would currently be limited to only 2 units. However, Staff
and the Local Review Board feel that there is no reason why additional units could not be
reasonably provided with the proper site design. As a result, the proposed amendment to the
Old Town Specific Plan would replace the Medium Density numeric criteria for mixed use
projects with the requirement for a conditional use permit. This would allow for maximum
flexibility of the site design while retaining City control over the design of future mixed use
projects.
Parking Requirements. When the Old Town Specific Plan was adopted, the Plan referenced the
citywide parking standards in Chapter 17.24 of the Development Code. Shortly thereafter, it
became apparent that maintaining the current parking standard and requiring that buildings in
Old Town be oriented toward the sidewalk were substantially in conflict. As a result, the City
Council approved the elimination of the onsite parking requirement in the Tourist Retail Core.
These proposed amendments would continue that opportunity while retaining the onsite parking
requirement for the more automobile-oriented commercial and residential districts. Within the
Tourist Retail Core and Tourist Serving Residential Districts, onsite parking would be required
only for hotels, motels, and banks and financial institutions that are more than 1,250 square feet
is size. The provision of on site parking for mixed use residence is recommended but not
required.
.
Building Height. The current Specific Plan limits buildings to two stories and provides a
mechanism for the City Council to approve taller structures. The proposed amendments would
increase this allowable building height in the Tourist Retail Core to three stories. The City
Council would retain the authority to approve higher structures if appropriate in context and
location.
Temporary Uses. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would also increase the number of
allowable outdoor sales event from 2 to four events per year within the Tourist Retail Core
District. Given the character and nature of the Old Town, the additional events are expected to
generate additional activity and excitement into the core of Old Town. This is an increase over
the citywide standard of two events per year.
.
R~OTSP\Plan Amendmen¡,;IPAO3-0158\Staff Report PCI.dot
.
.
.
The final set of changes to the zoning standards is the eliminated the previous development
incentives. The original incentive provisions, increasing building height, reducing the onsite
parking standard. and increasing the number of allowable units were not achieving their desired
goal and have already been incorporated into the design standards within the Specific Plan. A
complete addition/deletion copy of the Zoning, Design Standards and Historic Preservation
requirements are contained in Attachment No.5.
Additional Desian Standards
Over the years, the Old Town Local Review Board has often struggled with the need for
additional design standards covering a variety of accessory structures, fences and awnings. In
response to this, staff and the OTLRB developed supplemental standards for these items and
are proposing that they be incorporated into Chapter IV of the Old Town Specific Plan. Along
with these new discussions, new photographs and exhibits are also being proposed throughout
the Design Guidelines. Some of the major items being included in this Amendment include the
following.
Public Art. The addition of standards for where public art should be allowed and what
types of themes are most appropriate for Old Town. This is located in Section IV.-G.
Outdoor Dining and Sidewalk Furniture and Umbrellas. A new section including the
description of period-appropriate materials, colors and designs for street side furnishing.
This is located in Section IV.-H.
Pocket Parks. This amended language provides standards for potential pedestrian
spaces in the form of pocket parks and mid-block paseos. Desired construction materials
for these are also identified. This is located in Section IV.-C.
Advertising and Sign Design Guidelines. These new amendments prohibit the use of
phone numbers on signs, as well as clarify trademark color standards, and specify the
use of multiple colors on pictorial artwork. This is located in Section IV.-J.
The new material added to Section IV is contained in Attachment No 6.
Historic Preservation Reauirements
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will locate all the historic preservation and Old Town
Local Review Board provisions into a single Chapter of the Plan. The OTLRB's authority,
mission, or composition is not being changed. The primary changes include the updating and
simplification of the review procedure, a specific requirement to maintain designated historic
structures, and the inclusion of a specific penalty in the event a designated historic structure is
destroyed or removed without permission. The specific provisions would allow the City to
require the complete and total replacement of an illegally removed historic structure. If this was
not done, the City Council would be authorized the issuance of any building or use permit for a
period up to seven years.

. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
To evaluate the possible impacts associated with these changes to the Old Town Specific Plan,
staff prepared an Initial Environmental Study. Using the original approved Specific Plan as the
baseline condition; the analysis identified two impact areas that have the potential to see some
change in terms of the environmental impacts. The two areas are parking and noise.
The elimination of the on site parking requirement for much of the commercial core has a
potential to cause parking-related impacts in Old Town. However, to address this concern, the
Specific Plan retains the requirement for centralized City parking lots to provide the necessary
parking. To date, the City has constructed one lot at the north end of the Tourist Retail Core
area and acquired another parking lot at the south end of the Tourist Retail Core. In addition,
the City has recently acquired a number of parcels in the middle portion of the Tourist Retail
Core and has plans of providing additional parking in this location.
With the provisions to allow additional residential uses in conjunction with office and retail uses
within the Tourist Retail Core, there is a possibility of an additional increment of noise impacts
because of this area's proximity to Interstate 15. However, current building code requirements
set interior noise requirements that will minimize most of these future noise impacts.
The possible parking and noise impacts are considered to be less than significant. As a result,
staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that a
Negative Declaration be adopted. A copy of the Initial Environmental Study in contained in
Attachment No.1 O.
.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDA TION
The proposed amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan are expected to further revitalize the
Old Town area and facilitate new development. The format and organization changes should
make the Plan easier to use. Staff and the Old Town Local Review Board recommend that the
Planning Commission recommend the approval of these Amendments to the Specific Plan to
the City Council. A copy of the proposed Planning Commission Resolution is contained in
Attachment No.1. The proposed City Council Resolution and Ordinance referenced in the
attached Commission Resolution are contained in Attachment Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.

A. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
The site of Old Town Temecula, as we know it today, came into being generally in the
1880's with the arrival of the railroad and the moving of the post office to the present
town's location. However, the area has a much earlier beginning dating back to the
original village settled by the Shoshonean Indians around 900 AD. along the banks of
the Temecula River.
Our discussion of historical events begins somewhat later with the arrival of the first
white visitors, Father Juan Narberto de Santiago and seven soldiers who traveled to the
area from the Mission San Juan Capistrano in the early 1800's. In order to establish the
Mission's agricultural area, a granary and chapel were established in 1818 which
marked the first settlement in the area by the white man. Not long after, in 1830, John
McGee built a general store near the Pauba Ranch Headquarters, further increasing the
presence ofthe white man in the area.
The Indians lived a quiet existence until 1847 when they clashed with the Californians
in one of the bloodiest battles of the Mexican War. The "Temecula Massacre" as it is
referred to by local historians changed the Indian's relationship with the area and
generally paved the way for increased settlement.
During the next 25 years, white settlers began to move into the area in increasing
numbers, pushing the Indians off of the more desirable land and further into the
foothills. In 1885, John Butterfield founded a mail and passenger stage coach route
which had a regular stop in Temecula. With the addition of the stage coach, Temecula
experienced its first development boom. A post office was built in 1859 on a site near
John McGee's general store. The stage line was halted, however, in 1861 because of
the Civil War. Some of the most important historic buildings in Old Town come ITom
this t ¡me period. The Welty Building, built in I 897, served as a general store with
rooms to rent. In 1908, this building was transfonned into the Ramona Inn, housing the
Blind Pig Saloon on the ground floor and a boxing ring upstairs where the likes of Jack
Dempsey and Jack Sharkey would train. Other key buildings ITom the late 1800s
include the Hotel Temecula, Machado Store, the Old Town Jail, and the Temecula
Mercantile building.
With the continuing arrival of settlers also came an increasing concern about the
Indians and a desire for their precious river oriented land. In 1876 a San Diego County
Sheriffs posse came without warning and physically moved the Indians to a site not far
ITom the present location ofthe Pechanga Indian Reservation.
Old Town Specific Plan
1-1
The coming of the railroad to Temecula in 1882 marked another boom period in the
City's history. Granite quarries became productive in the late 1880's and lasted until
1915. Thousands of tons of cut granite were shipped fÌ"om Temecula to fonn the front
steps of the Riverside County courthouse, curbstones on Market Street in San
Francisco, cemetery monuments, and hitching posts. Some of these curbs are still
present in Temecula in fÌ"ont of the old Machado Store/Long Branch Saloon building,
around the comer fÌ"om the Bank, as well as in fÌ"ont ofthe Temecula Hotel. The largest
piece (15 tons) is in Sam Hicks Monument Park, on which are inscribed the names of
the notable visitors to the Temecula Valley.
These times brought prosperity to Temecula and the town grew steadily. Some of the
town's more notable buildings were constructed during these times: the first school in
1890; Temecula Mercantile (Burnham Store) in 1902; First National Bank in 1912; and
the Palomar Hotel in 1928, to mention a few. St. Catherine's Catholic Church was built
in 1917 and was the first church building in Temecula. It continued to function as a
church until 1980, when a new church was built to accommodate the growing
congregation. Today, the old church has become the Chapel of Memories and has been
relocated to Sam Hicks Monument Park
Today, Old Town Temecula is but a part, albeit an important part, of this larger
community. New development surrounds the historic town site and while many of its
historic structures have been tom down or moved, others still remain as a reminder of
what Temecula was, and more importantly, as an inspiration for what it can be in the
future-
The approval of the Old Town Temecula Historic Preservation District by the Riverside
Board of Supervisors in October 1979 marked the first recognition that Old Town
Temecula truly is a unique place with a historic character worth preserving and
enhancing. Since that initial recognition, other steps have also been taken to help plan
Old Town's future and preserve its historic buildings and character.
The Temecula Community Plan Task Force (comprised of members from the Old
Town Temecula Museum Historical Committee, Old Town Temecula Merchants
Association, Temecula Town Association, and Temecula Valley Chamber of
Commerce) prepared and submitted a plan for Old Town's revitalization in October
1988. While the plan was a "grass roots" effort, it did provide a valuable perspective
into the existing concerns and potential solutions facing future growth and development
in Old Town Temecula. The Committee's stated purpose of the plan was "..- to
encourage and speed the development and refurbishment of Downtown Temecula as a
commercial and tourist center." However, since the plan lacked any official status,
implementation of the plan's recommendations was primarily the responsibility of the
Committee's member organizations which had no authority and few funds to carry out
the majority of identified programs. The committee's report did, however, lay
important ground work for future actions by providing a comprehensive assessment of
issues facing Old Town at that time.

With the preparation of Temecula's General Plan which began in early 1992, a renewed
focus on the issues facing Old Town were established. Throughout the various
elements of the General Plan (including Land Use, Circulation, Open Space, and
Community Design) needs have been identified to preserve and revitalize Old Town.
The primary policy recommendation that emerged from the General Plan program was
the need to prepare a specific plan for Old Town. Acting on this recommendation, the
Temecula City Council authorized preparation of the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan
(OTSP) to provide a master plan for the Old Town area.
The Old Town Specific Plan was prepared in 1992 and 1993 with the assistance of
Urban Design Studio and the council-appointed Old Town Steering Committee. The
Steering Committee members represented a wide-range of local business and resident
interests. The community is indebted to the following individuals for their participation
in this process: Helga Berger, Susan Bridges, Carlene Danielsen, Linda Fahey,
Christina Grina, Bill Harker, Larry Markham, Peg Moore, La Verne Parker, Bonnie
Reed, and Steve Sanders.
The Old Town Specific Plan was approved by the City Council on February 8, 1994.
The purpose of the Plan is to provide a comprehensive plan for land use, development
regulations, design guidelines, vehicular circulation, parking, development incentives
and other related actions aimed at implementing the goals and objectives set forth in the
Plan. This document superseded all previous plans, ordinances, and similar documents
related to properties within the Specific Plan area. The boundary of the Old Town
Specific Plan is shown in Exhibit I-I.
B. AUTHORITY FOR THE PLAN
California Government Code Sections 65450 through 65457 provide the necessary
authorization for the City of Temecula to prepare and adopt this Specific Plan. The Old
Town Specific Plan is a regulatory plan which will serve as zoning law for. properties
within the boundaries of the Plan as depicted in Exhibit I-I. All proposed development
plans or agreements, tract or parcel maps, and any other development approvals must
be consistent with this Specific Plan and with the General Plan. This includes the
identification of the Old Town area as a Village Center under the General Plan. The
Specific Plan may be amended to further the systematic implementation of the General
Plan.

C. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES
.
In an effort to further define and prioritize this overall goal statement, the following
Community Design, Land UseÆconomic, CirculationlParking, and Murrieta Creek
goals, objectives, and policies are provided.
1.
COMMUNITY DESIGN
Goal
To create a high quality and distinct "Western" image and a functional, vibrant
and aesthetically pleasing Old Town for Temecula.
Objectives
Provide easy to follow rules and regulations for new development to
complement and promote the "Old West" vision for the Old Town area.
Revitalize existing building facades which do not add to the established
architectural theme.
Promote a clearly pedestrian atmosphere in the area bounded by First Street
on the south, Sixth Street on the north, Murrieta Creek on the west, and
Mercedes Avenue on the east.
.
Protect the grid street pattern in Old Town. specifically between First and
Sixth Streets.
Provide for the elimination or screening of visually objectionable views
such as outdoor storage, utility cabinets, trash bins, roof-mounted
equipment, blank side walls, recycling equipment, and loading areas through
the implementation of design guidelines.
Promote complimentary "n ative" landscape treatments throughout t he Old
Town area to enhance storeuonts and the desired architectural theme.
Enhance and promote the creation of enjoyable public spaces throughout
Old Town through the use of street furniture, landscaping, public art,
building design, and pedestrian orientation.
Design vehicular entry points which provide a sense of arrival to Old Town;
initiate the Old Town streetscape theme.
Provide signs to guide tourists to important destinations.
.
Old Town Specific Plan
11-2
.
.
.
Soften the urban character of streets, parking areas, pedestrian spaces, and
walkways with wooden plank sidewalks. Streets should also appear less
urban (asphalt).
Policies
Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes for the Old Town
that help create a high quality historic image.
Require compliance with the Design Guidelines for the Old Town Specific
Plan in new development or the expansion or redevelopment of existing
development.
Discourage significant lot consolidations and very large single-user
development greater than 50,000 square feet in Old Town and encourage
smaller storefront, pedestrian oriented design.
Utilize landscape materials that are clean, safe, wind resistant, drought
tolerant, and native species whenever possible. Infonnal landscape fonns
should be utilized on the major thoroughfares to emphasize the "unplanned"
appearance of a rustic early California settlement.
Consider developing incentives to provide certain "extra" "Old West" or
equestrian design amenities within their projects. Of particular interest are
covered arcades or porches, wood plank sidewalks, old west artifacts (water
troughs, wind vanes, hitching posts), benches, and signs painted on walls.
Establish a program to expedite removal of existing signs that do not
confonn to the regulations or design theme of this Specific Plan.
Consider economic incentives for owners who wish to architecturally
rehabilitate, refurbish, Old Town storefronts in accordance with the design
guidelines of this Specific Plan.
Establish Main Street as the "heart" of the community by creating a
pedestrian oriented, nostalgic downtown of old California.
Develop a new sign regulation ordinance for Old Town which specifically
addresses the types of signs that were available to shopkeepers in the late
1800's to early 1900's.
Develop a specialized regulation for right-of-way encroachment by
"thematic" architectural features such as canopies, porches, arcades, and
other projections.
Encourage graffiti resistant materials whenever feasible.
Old Town Specific Plan
11- 3
Eliminate overhead utility lines throughout Old Town if feasible.
.
Consider purchasing existing billboard signs if it is detennined to be
economically feasible.
2.
LAND USE/ECONOMIC
Goal
Develop "Old Town" to provide a variety of local and tourist oriented retail
services, office, culturaVcivic, and residential opportunities.
Objectives
Maximize the economic base of Old Town through the definition ofland use
districts to insure expansion of a variety of land uses desirable to the
districts including, specialty retail, tourist and local serving retail uses,
specialty retail/service, office uses, and residential uses (single and
multi-family).
Ensure the gradual upgrade of underutilized parcels functioning at less than
their market potential.
Discourage further fTeestanding residential uses in the Old Town core.
Encourage mixed use as it might have occurred in the late 1800's or early
1900's.
.
Through economic development activities and incentives, focus on
attracting new commercial uses and retaining existing development which
add to the "thematic" ambience 0 fOld Town such as a blacksmith, wine
tasting facility, saloon, barber, ice cream parlors, candy store, general store,
and feed/tack store.
Policies
Establish regulations that promote pedestrian oriented plazas and
courtyards; and that encourage active retail commercial uses in the core of
Old Town.
Prepare development regulations and design guidelines that clarify the
expectations of the City in terms of the quality of new development in the
Old Town area.
Establish regulations that assure compatibility of existing and new
commercial uses within established land use districts while employing
specific, well designed buffers fTom adjacent exclusively residential
developments.
.
Old Town Specific Plan
II- 4
.
.
.
Establish development incentives to encourage the introduction of a
thematic western town specialty shopping development.
Discourage new land uses in Old Town such as automotive sales, service
and repair uses, fast food drive-thru's, a traditional shopping center, mini
marts, and large grocery establishments.
Discourage major lot consolidation and development which encourages
large single-user tenants on lots greater than 50,000 square feet in Old
Town.
Establish assistance programs to aid property and businesses owners with
property improvements that further the implementation of the Specific Plan.
Establish height limit zones in Old Town which relate to the scale of the
streetscape, historic building construction techniques, and land use.
Establish a sensitive non confonning use provision in the Specific Plan
which provides incentives for early compliance.

D. INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS
.
This section 0 f t he Specific Plan contains i nfonnation required b y S tate Law 0 n the
infrastructure and utilities necessary to support development in this area. This
infonnation is intended to supplement the other standards and requirements identified
in the Plan.
1.
Road Network
The ability 0 f residents and visitors to effectively access the Old Town area is
vital to the area's future success. The areawide road network is established by the
City General Plan. WitIún the context of the General Plan, the Old Town Specific
Plan further describes the circulation network within the Old Town district.
The primary circulation route within the 0 Id Town Specific Plan i sOld Town
Front Street. The secondary circulation routes are Mercedes StreetIMoreno Road,
Main Street, and the route of Pujol Street/Sixth Street/Felix Valdez Road. In this
last example, the secondary route portion of Sixth Street is only that portion that
links Pujol Street to Felix Valdez. Rancho California Road and Santiago Road!
First Street are perimeter roads and are addressed in the General Plan. All other
roadways with the Old Town Specific Plan are considered to be local streets. The
proposed road network for the Old Town Specific Plan is found in Exhibit II-I.
The typical configurations and rights-of-way for the streets within the Old Town
Specific Plan are listed below.
Old Town Front Street
North of the south Moreno Rd Loop 4 travel lanes in 88 feet
South of the south Moreno Rd Loop 2 travel lanes in 60 feet
Mercedes Street 2 travel lanes in 60 feet
.
Moreno Road
Main Street
2 travel lanes in 88 feet
2 travel lanes in 60 feet
Pujol Street/Sixth Street/Felix Valdez
Local serving streets
2 travel lanes in 60 feet
2 travel lanes in 60 feet
In most circumstances, the Old Town Specific Plan does not anticipate the
installation of additional traffic signals within Old Town Temecula. The possible
future exceptions to this are the intersections of Santiago Road and Pujol Street
and Mercedes StreetIMoreno Road and Old Town Front Street. These
intersections may need to be signalized when warranted due to potential turning
movement conflicts and future development west of the Old Town area. In all
other cases, stop signs are the preferred method to control and prioritize vehicular
traffic.

Water System
Water distribution services in the Old Town area are provided by Rancho
California Water District (RCWD). Since the initial adoption, the City has
worked with RCWD to provide adequate water service in Old Town. Based upon
these system upgrades and the project development in Old Town Temecula, the
current system should be adequate to meet future water needs. However,
additional development west of Old Town requires changes to the current network
to meet this currently unspecified need. The current backbone water system is
shown in Exhibit II-2.
In addition, there are reclaimed water lines that have the potential to serve
portions of Old Town. These are located (detailed information not yet available).
3.
Sewer System
Wastewater collection service is provided by Eastern Municipal Water District
EMWD). Over the last ten years, EMWD has made a number of improvements to
the wastewater collection system to meet current and future needs. The upgrading
and relocation of the First Street lift station has corrected most of the problems.
Additional new development west of Old Town may require some changes to the
current network to meet future needs. The current wastewater collection system
is shown in Exhibit II-3.
.
4.
Drainage System
The regional drainage system component in the Old Town area is the channel of
Murrieta Creek, a primary tributary to the Santa Margarita River. In this area, the
historic drainage pattern has always been into Murrieta Creek. All current and
future drainage ITom this area is expected to continue to flow into the Murrieta
Creek. The on-street drain inlets collect storm water flows and transport it
directly to the Creek. The majority of these drainage structures range from to in
size.
s.
Solid Waste
The City of Temecula currently contracts for refuse collection and recycling
services. Through this contract, the Old Town area currently receives solid waste
disposal services. Refuse collected locally is currently taken to the EI Sobrante
and Badlands Landfills for disposal.

Electricity
Electrical service is currently provided by Southern California Edison. There is
presently an electrical distribution network in place in Old Town. Adequate
regional electrical power supply can be provided to the Old Town area as it
redevelops. The City requires that all new lines (up to 34KV) be underground.
7.
Natural Gas
Natural gas service is currently provided by the Southern California Gas
Company (SCG). There is presently a natural gas distribution network in place in
Old Town. SCG has indicated that it can continue to provide natural gas to the
Old Town area.
8.
Telephone Service
Local telephone service is currently provided by Verizon. There is presently a
telephone network in place in the Old Town area. This existing network will
continue to provide all necessary wire-based telephone services. In addition,
there is an existing network of cellular telephone facilities in and around
Temecula that also provide service to Old Town.
9.
Parks and Recreation Facilities
There is currently one park facility within the Old Town Specific Plan. Sam
Hicks Monument Park, at the corner of and Moreno and Mercedes Streets, is
adjacent to the Temecula Museum. The facilities include a tot lot, picnic tables,
and a gazebo. In addition to this, the Boys and Girls Club has a facility just
outside the Plan area at the corner of First and Pujol Streets.
A proposed recreation facility/park adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club is
currently under design. It is anticipated to include an enhanced gymnasium and
additional meeting and activity areas. The provision of a future "town square" is
also being considered. While the exact location and facilities have not been
determined, the facility would provide a public gathering space that would be
integrated into the current Specific Plan.

shall follow the centerlines of said streets. Where boundaries appear to follow
existing property lines, they shall follow said property lines and shall not bisect
portions of existing lots of record which are in effect at the time of adoption of
this Specific Plan. The boundaries with the Open Space Land Use District along
the channel of Murrieta Creek may bisect adjacent parcels.
C. LAND USE REGULATIONS
This section includes a matrix (Table III-I) which lists the land uses and indicates
whether or not each use is permitted (P), conditionally permitted (C), or prohibited (-)
in each of the land use districts within the Specific Plan area. When exceptions have
been established, they are so noted at the end of the table.
Permitted uses for the Medium Density Residential (MDR), High Density Residential
(HDR), and Open Space (OS) planning areas shall be the same as identified in the
Development Code for the Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential and
Open Space/Conservation zones, respectively, as periodically amended.

A. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose ofthese Guidelines is to define an architectural vocabulary that will provide a
measure of continuity to Old Town's commercial and higher density residential buildings.
While some basic and consistent architectural principles are defined, variety and individual
expression within this framework are encouraged. The community desires a character of
architecture that will reflect Temecula Valley's history, natural landscape and climate.
Architectural character is formed by the basic elements of a building and the manner in
which they are combined. The desired character for buildings in Old Town is derived from
early California (1890-1920) architecture, a design vocabulary reflected in the state's early
missions and adobes. Its use has been a tradition for over 200 years in many communities
of Southern California. There have been several periods of interpretation, revival and
change; and many variations found in different communities of the state. While early
California or Old Town Western architecture is not considered a specific style, several
styles are often considered within it - Gold Rush, Spanish Colonial, and Monterey. In Old
Town, these three styles shall be the most desirable historic prototypes for all new
development.
A Historical Note: Early California architecture came about as a result of the state's first
settlers adapting Spanish and Mexican architectural precedents to the special conditions
of California. The process normally meant simplifYing the more complex and ornate
Spanish examples and their details, adjusting to the more spartan economy and conditions,
different building materials, and primitive workmanship of California. As American
conquest of California proceeded, the new settlers brought elements of eastern United
States and Classical Revival architecture, combining them with the early a dobe and
mission examples. The result was what we now call the Monterey Style. Many restored
buildings of this period and style are found throughout the state, with the largest number
in Monterey, and a well-known example, the Casa de Bandini, in San Diego's Old Town.

Guideline 4 - Solid to Void
.
.
Storefì:ont construction should be approximately 60% transparent (void) with a
maximum of85% transparency.
Blank, solid end walls or side walls visible fÌ"om public view should be
avoided. If such walls are necessary for interior reasons, the building wall
should receive some foan of articulation of add-on elements such as awnings,
cornice bands, arcades, trellises, etc.
.
Guideline 5 - Roof Pitch and Materials
.
Roofs may be flat or sloped. Western false fÌ"ont parapet walls are encouraged
but blank parapet walls around flat roofs are not allowed without heavy
architectural cornice. The visible portion of sloped roofs should be sheathed
with a roofing material having texture meaningful at the pedestrian scale, such
as standing seam metal roofing, wood shingle, or tile.
Rooffoan should be consistent and integrated into the building composition.
The roof should be designed to screen rooftop equipment fÌ"om all sides.
Radical/steep roof pitches which create overly prominent or out-of-character
building such as A-fÌ"ames or chalet style buildings are not recommended in
Old Town.
Roofs or parapet walls should wrap around the entire building to avoid a cheap
"stage-set" look. Wood shingles, composition roofing material, tile, slate, or
painted metal seam roofs meeting City Codes are acceptable.

establish an architectural character and display of signs. The integration of parapet
walls into building design is encouraged. Parapets shall confonn to the following
guidelines.
.
Parapet walls shall completely screen the roof behind and all roof mounted
equipment.
They shall be finished on any side visible from the street with materials
compatible with those predominantly used on the building.

Monterey Style
.
As American conquest of California proceeded, the new settlers brought elements of
eastern United States and Classical Revival architecture, combining them with the
early adobe and Mission examples. The result was what we now call Monterey
Style. Many restored buildings of this period and style are found throughout the
state. The most notable local example depicting elements of this style is the Welty

Other Period Stvles (earlv 1900's)
.
The three previously described architectural styles are the most desirable for Old
Town. Extensive guidelines for other styles in existence during the early 1900's are
not provided herein due to (1) their urban undesirability for Old Town; (2) likelihood
of quality reproduction due to high cost of construction (The Bank/Classic Revival),
or (3) limitation to mostly residential structures (California Bungalow and Victorian).
Other historic styles will be considered for residential constructions
If an applicant desires to introduce an architectural style into Old Town which is not
provided for in these guidelines, the burden of proof shall lie with the applicant to
provide evidence (historical or otherwise) that the particular style is appropriate for
Old Town. Applications for development utilizing the following styles w ill be
considered by the Director of Planning on a case-by-case basis.
.
Classic Revival- This revival style that was common between 1900 and 1920,
was based primarily on Greek and to a lesser extent on Roman orders. This
style produced symmetrically arranged buildings of monumental proportions.
Colossal pedimented porticos were often flanked by a series of pilasters.
Arches. and enriched moldings were not generally used.

Queen Anne - Queen Anne was a prominent architectural style in the 1880s
and 1890s. Of all the Victorian house styles, Queen Anne is the most elaborate
and the most eccentric. Although easy to spot, the Queen Anne style is
difficult to define. Common elements include: bay windows, balconies, stained
glass, turrets, porches, brackets, an abundance of decorative details, with
steeply pitched and irregular roofs, all combined in often unusual and
unexpected ways.

C. SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES
1.
Introduction.
The area comprising the core of Old Town Temecula is typical of many small
town/rural main streets. The buildings are predominantly side by side, fonning a
fairly continuous street wall, and are not set back from the right-of-way or sidewalk.
The pedestrian quality ofthis relationship is enhanced by some arcades, mature trees,
benches, and lack of emphasis on parking lots and parked cars.
West Main Street is the oldest and most cohesive street in the area, however, many
other streets in Old Town exist that do not contribute to the cohesiveness ofthe area.
This cohesiveness is lost whenever parking lots are placed between the public
right-of-way and the front ofthe building. These storefront parking lots have been
allowed in the past instead ofrequiring new buildings to maintain the continuous
street wall.
It is the intent of these site planning guidelines to intensify the pedestrian activity
which characterizes this area through requiring side, rear, or no on-site parking lots.
Pedestrian passages to parking areas adjoining mid-block alleys are encouraged to
facilitate the parking lot locations.
2.
Commercial Site Planning Guidelines
Guideline 1 - Lot Coveral!e
.
Commercial (and mixed use) buildings in core of Old Town are not regulated
by site coverage maximums. If the building meets all the setback
requirements, a development proposal my cover the entire remaining portion of
the lot.
Guideline 2 - Front Building Wall
.
The front porch or arcade of any building located in the Old Town Tourist
Retail Core should be built to the front property line.
New buildings are encouraged to set back the comers of buildings at the
intersections to create pedestrian plazas as well as improve visual sight lines
for vehicles. Comer setbacks of at least 10 feet are desirable.
Any building located at a comer intersection should incorporate architectural
features at the ground floor which emphasize the importance of pedestrian
movement. These features may include building cut-offs, walk-through
covered arcades, trellis structures, and other elements which focus visual
interest on the comers.
.
.
.
Awnings, trellises, stairs and other accessory building structures approved by
the Director may project into the public right-of-way. If required by the
Director of Public Works, an encroachment pennit shall be also be required.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV-25
Guideline 3 - Parallel Walls
.
.
Commercial buildings should be oriented on the lots in Old Town in a
traditional town fashion.
.
The ITont building wall should be oriented parallel to the street. Slight
modifications can be acceptable although entire ITontages set on a 45 degree or
more angle to the street are not consistent with traditional development
patterns.
Pedestrian access for all buildings should be oriented to the major street upon
which it is located. Secondary rear pedestrian entries are also recommended.
Creek adjacent buildings are encouraged to orient pedestrian access on the
creek side.
.
Guideline 4 - Boardwalk Svstem
.
The use 0 fa covered boardwalk, porch, 0 r arcade is strongly encouraged
adjacent to the public pedestrian right-of-way (sidewalk).
Each project on Main Street and Old Town Front Street shall incorporate such
a pedestrian system. The minimum width for a boardwalk is 8 feet. However,
if seating areas are to be provided the minimum width should be 10 feet or
greater. Similar pedestrian amenities should also be considered on side streets.
Buildings located on corner lots on Old Town Front Street shall also
incorporate provisions for a pedestrian boardwalk on the side street ITontages.

Guideline 5 - Detached Accessorv Buildin!!s
.
Detached accessory buildings shall be placed on permanent foundations and
constructed of materials and painted with colors that are compatible with the
main building.
The designated use 0 f a commercial detached accessory building shall be
appurtenant to the use of the main building and located on the site based on its
design and function.
Detached accessory buildings shall be subject to the architectural guidelines
and development standards of the Old Town Specific Plan and meet all
applicable City of Temecula building and fire codes.
.
.
Guideline 6 - Fences and Walls
.
All fencing and wall materials utilized within the commercial districts of the
Old Town Specific Plan Districts shall be compatible with the architectural
theme of the adjacent building. Stacked river or natural rock, battered base
walls and the traditional look of wrought iron are appropriate as well as
western style wood fencing where applicable. Such structures should not act as
a visual barrier to a building, porch or ITont yard.
Use of indigenous and local historical materials such as granite for walls and
fences is strongly encouraged. Incorporation of wall caps and pilasters at entry
points can also be utilized where these treatments are indicated.
Fencing should encourage an open commercial and residential neighborhood
atmosphere, while providing a definition between public and private spaces,
through the use of walls, fences and hedges around ITont yard areas.
Architectural features such as garden walls, arbors and trellises are ideal to
soften building mass and should be an integral part of the building. However,
it is important to avoid a tacked on appearance to hide poor massing and
architecture.
Chain link and bare precision block or other concrete masomy unit (CMU)
walls are not permitted fencing materials.
Decorative wrought iron or rough-hewn wooden gates used to accentuate a
fence, wall or building are permitted-
Detailing of column pilasters with tile or appropriate decoration representing
Western, Spanish ColoniallMission, Monterey or other period appropriate style
elements are desirable.

Guideline 7 - Trellises and Shade Structures
.
Trellises should be constructed of materials compatible with the architectural
character of the adjacent building. Heavy rough-hewn timber covered with
vines is encouraged. Natural wood or neutral tone colors from the Sherwin-
Williams Preservation Palette should be utilized.
Covered walkways and shade structures associated with a building should
adhere to the design elements of that structure. Materials such as brick, local
stone, adobe block and stucco, in the case of Spanish ColoniallMission,
Monterey, Western or period-appropriate styles, combined with natural timber
and rough-hewn beams are recommended. G round I evell andscaping and
wrap-around vines are encouraged to soften the look of these structures.

Guideline 8 - Gutters and Downspouts
.
Gutters and downspouts on the exterior of buildings in the commercial districts
should utilize designs consistent with the tum-of-the-century time period
represented in Old Town. Materials used shall be color coordinated with the
building they are attached to. Roof scuppers should not be placed in areas that
are visible from the street or other public places.
Guideline 9 - Awninl!s
.
Awnings can add color, relief and protection of pedestrian and patrons from the
elements. They also can provide a setting for signage. The use of awnings to
delineate building entries and help orient pedestrians to business locations is
encouraged.
Awning care and maintenance should be conducted in accordance with the
manufacturer's guidelines. The useful life of a typical awning does not exceed
eight (8) to ten (10) years. (A property owner should not contemplate the
installation of these structures unless they are willing to replace them every
eight (8) to ten (10) years.)
All awnings within the Old Town Specific Plan area should be regularly
maintained and kept free of fading, stains and tears.
Colors of awnings shall be monotone hues selected from the Sherwin-Williams
Preservation Palette and coordinated with the architecture of the building they
are attached to.
.
.
.
.
Awnings can be imprinted with simple signage in accordance with the
provisions of the Sign Standards and Guidelines detailed in this Specific Plan.
Lettering style and size should be in scale with the awning on which the sign is
located as well as any adjacent awnings.
Awnings should be made of high quality cloth (plastic, aluminum and vinyl
material are not permitted) and be at least seven (7) feet high at the lowest
point so as not to impede pedestrian traffic.
Awnings should not be wrapped around buildings in a continuous band.
Instead, these structures should be used to enhance the façade by placing them
on top of doors, windows and other openings.
Awnings should not be so massive as to dominate the façade but should be in
scale with the rest of the building.
Iflighted, awnings should be illuminated with period appropriate fixtures such
as goosenecks.

Guideline 10 - Pocket Parks
.
In an effort to provide landscape breaks along the commercial streets of Old Town, a
series of pocket parks in the form of pedestrian spaces, arcades as well as mid-block
paseos and courtyards need to be provided. These areas can allow transitions
between commercial buildings in addition top roviding a se tting for public art,
seating, drinking fountains, and shade structures. Buildings and/or landscape
elements surrounding a pedestrian space on a minimum of two sides typically define
an area as a pocket park.
.
Appropriate design elements such as gateways, trellises, architecturally
designed lighting and seat walls should be used to create a series of seating
areas for pedestrians throughout Old Town.
Columns and ornamental entry gates using native stone, iron or rough sawn
timber are encouraged.
.
.
Permanent outdoor seating for pocket parks can be incorporated into decorative
masonry structures or architecturally compatible benches of native stone or
brick and shall complement adjacent buildings and landscaped areas.
Landscaping designs should follow the Old Town Specific Plan Guidelines.
Pocket parks should be publicly accessible during daylight hours and linked to
adjacent streets and sidewalks.

Residential Site Planning Guidelines
Design guidelines for the site planning of multiple family dwellings are intended to
restore the presence of dwellings along streets and to expand upon standard
subdivision regulations to maintain a village atmosphere (particularly along Pujol
Street) and create an aesthetic environment with traditional neighborhoods.
Detached residential structures are expected to maintain the period appropriate street
view but are allowed additional latitude in tenns of site design. While these
guidelines are specifically intended to discourage the construction of residential
streets continuously lined with repetitious facades, parking lots, and garage doors,
they do not limit the accessibility of dwellings by cars or reduce parking
requirements.
The following guidelines and illustrations show several alternatives for residential
site planning which can be used to implement a new rural village concept for Old
Town.
Guideline 1 - Varv Multi-Familv Building Footprints
Buildings should be designed to minimize the appearance of a large, single,
rectangular mass and to provide intimate or human scale. Avoid long,
unbroken facades and simple box fonns. To the extent possible, each of the
dwelling units should be individually recognizable. This can be accomplished
with the use of balconies, setbacks, and roofline changes.

D. PARKING LOT GUIDELINES
The public view of open paved parking lots can detract ITom or obscure the historic theme
ofthe Old Town area. This is especially important in the Retail Core area. The textures of
paving can guide activities and movement patterns; it can channel traffic or prevent it ¡¡-om
encroaching on specific areas; it can speed movement or slow it down. Smooth surface
materials encourage walking while rough surfaces slow or inhibit walking. Paving
materials therefore influence usability and comfort, as well as the perception of a historic
time period.
Guideline 1 - Parkin!! Lot Orientation
.
Parking lot location and orientation should be hidden ITom public view ITom
Old Town Front and Main Streets.
Parking lots and/or structures should be located, as much as possible, to the
rear of buildings.
Vehicular entry points to parking lots should receive special paving accents
where the drive crosses the public sidewalk.
Off-street parking facilities should be designed so that a car within a facility
will not have to enter a street to move ITom one location to any other location
within the same parking facility.
.
.
.
Guideline 2 - Joint Parkin!! Facilities Encoura!!ed
.
Shared parking between adjacent businesses and/or developments is strongly
encouraged where practical.
Common driveways that provide vehicular access to more than one site are
strongly encouraged.
Where parking areas are connected, interior circulation should allow for a
similar direction of travel and parking bays in all areas to reduce conflict at
points of connection.
.
.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 35
Guideline 3 - Parkin!! Lot Desi!!n
.
.
Parking areas should be designed to enhance the Old Town historic
environment.
.
Parking areas must be landscaped in compliance with the requirements of the
Development Code.
Parking areas should be separated from buildings by either a raised boardwalk
walkway or landscaped strip, preferably both. Parking spaces which directly
abut the building are strongly discouraged.
Parking lots should be designed so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving
cars. Minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross parking aisles.
A void locating trash enclosures and other obstructions in parking areas or
places where they block the line-of-sight for motorists.
.
.
.
Guideline 4 - Site AccessfDrivewav
.
Entry driveways to parking lots in Old Town should be designed to enhance the
Old Town historic environment.
Properties should avoid parking access points taken directly from Old Town
Front or Main Streets whenever possible.
.
.
Whenever possible, locate site entries on alleys in order to minimize
pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. When this is not possible design the front site
entry with an appropriately patterned concrete or pavers to differentiate it ITom
the sidewalkslboardwalk.
Parking access points, whether located on front or side streets should be located
as far as possible from street intersections. The minimum distance
recommended is 100 feet.
.
.
.
Common driveways that provide access to more than one site are strongly
encouraged.

G. PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES
The placement of public art within the Old Town Specific Plan Area is encouraged on both
private and public property. Public art gives a community an identity that can be
representative of a City's culture and heritage in addition to promoting social gathering
places and interaction. Wall murals, lighting displays, sculptures, mosaics, monuments
and fountains are all considered significant examples of artistic expression. Proposals for
public art are subject to review by the Old Town Local Review Board and must comply
with the following guidelines.
Guideline 1 - Location
.
Public art should be situated in highly visible places throughout the Old Town
Temecula Specific Plan. Public art is encouraged in all gathering areas.
Locations such as pocket parks or specifically designed settings to
accommodate particular art pieces are ideal.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV - 41
Guideline 2 - Symbolic Content
.
.
Examples of public art in Old Town should relate to and represent the rich
legacy of the Temecula Valley. Literal and abstract representations of local
historical and old western elements are appropriate.
.
.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV - 42
.
.
.
Guideline 3 -Mosaics and Murals

The pictorial designs of these artistic works should compliment the color and
architectural composition of the buildings on which they are painted as well as
that of adjacent structures. Ideal facades for murals are exposed fire or
windowless walls that are two or more floors in height.
Guideline 4 - Sculptures and Monuments
.
Pieces selected should be representative of historical figures and events related
to the Temecula Valley. Employment of iron, rough-hewn wood and native

OUTDOOR DINING/SIDEWALK FURNITURE GUIDELINES
Outdoor patio furniture and umbrellas used with restaurants and other commercial uses
within the Old Town Specific Plan are considered an integral part of the street scene. As a
result, period-appropriate street side furnishings as outlined in the following guidelines are
required.
.
.
. .
.
.
.
.
Guideline 1 - Furniture
.
All outdoor furniture (tables, chairs, serving stands and bars) shall be of high-
quality, durable, and suitable for outdoor use. Wood, metal and natural looking
materials are encouraged.
Outdoor furniture should be in scale and consistent with both the architectural

Paving materials that reflect the historic materials used in the nineteenth century are
strongly encouraged in the Specific Plan area wherever possible.
Guideline 1 - Suitable Material Guidelines
.
.
Beige concrete with mexican beach pebble aggregate (1/2" - 1 ") surface;
Stamped concrete boards, deep gray; or

J.
SIGN DESIGN GUIDELINES
Signs in Old Town should advertise a place of business or provide directions and
information. Signs should be architecturally attractive and signs such as painted wall signs
should contribute to the retention or restoration of the historic character of the area. Signs
should not compete with each other or dominate the setting via inconsistent height, size,
shape, number, color, lighting, or movement.
An effective sign and graphics system functions not as a separate entity but as an integral
part of the built environment. When carefully planned, signs communicate essential
information, while ordering and enhancing the architectural character of Old Town.
This Specific Plan has regulations to help control the size, location, and number of
storeftont signs, but code restrictions above may not be enough. Design criteria are needed
to encourage and coordinate well-designed signs. The following sign guidelines are also
intended to assure the local merchant that all other Old Town commercial establishments
are similarly regulated.
Guideline 1 - General Desi2n Guidelines
.
.
Provide a clear message on the sign.
Use a brief message. The fewer the words, the more effective the sign. A sign
with a brief, succinct message is simpler and faster to read, looks cleaner and is
more attractive.
.
Avoid hard to read, overly intricate typefaces. These typefaces are difficult to
read and reduce the sign's ability to communicate.
Avoid faddish and bizarre typefaces. Utilize western style typefaces that are
easy to read.
.

]J;fI1t~ tr~
Åt~.~.JJ
Utilize sImple serif
or son serif olphabef
Avoid corny alphabe's.
DIsèøurage typetaces
which are hard to read
.
Avoid signs with strange shapes. Signs that are unnecessarily narrow, oddly
shaped, or unrelated to the products or services being provided on site can
restrict the legibility of the message. If an unusual shape is not symbolic, it is
probably confusing.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 47
.
.
Use widely recognized logo's rather than print/text whenever possible.
Make signs smaller if they are oriented to pedestrians. The pedestrian-oriented
sign is usually read from a distance of fifteen to twenty feet; the vehicle-
oriented sign is viewed from a much greater distance. The closer a sign's
viewing distance, the smaller that sign need be.
Signs with phone numbers are not permitted. This can clutter and obscure the
main message.
.
.
Guideline 2 - Sil!n Materials
.
.
Signs made of carved or sandblasted wood.
Yertical or horizontal wooden signs can be effectively utilized in a variety of
different ways on windows, building surfaces or as accent bands. A wooden
wall sign can be painted or stained and sealed for a more natural look,
depending upon the appearance of the surrounding structures. Lettering can
consist of metal or raised wood and when placed within a sign band, will serve
to unify the building facade. Carved or sandblasted wood signs are also
appropriate.
Guideliue 3 - Sil!D Color
.
.
.
Sign colors and materials should be elements that were available in the 1890'S.
Colors should be selected to contribute to legibility and design integrity. Even
the most carefully thought out sign may be unattractive and a poor
communicator because of poor color selection.
Use significant contrast between the background and letter or symbol colors. If
there is little contrast between the brightness or hue of the message of a sign
and its background, it will be difficult to read.
Limit major colors to four on a single sign, except for logos. Too many colors
overwhelm the basic function of communication. The colors compete with
content for the viewer's attention. Limited use ofthe accent colors can increase
legibility, while large areas of competing colors tend to confuse and disturb.
Where pictorial artwork is used in a design, multiple colors may be used for
that portion of the sign.
Metal sign panels can utilize raised lettering on metal bands. Printing and
lettering can also be applied directly to a flat metal sign band with letters
consisting of wood, acrylic or metal.
Colors used in registered corporate logos and trademarks should be matched to
the closest tones ofthe Sherwin-Williams preservation Palette when possible.
.

Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 48
.
.
.
Guideline 4 - Sil!u Letter Size Guideline
.
Sign lettering for storefront wall mounted signs should be large enough to read,
however, they should not overpower the scale of the storefront. Sign lettering
should meet the following size recommendations:
For storefronts 30' wide or less, a maximum letter height of 8" is
recommended;
For storefronts 30' to 60' wide, a maximum letter height of 12" is
recommended;
For storefronts greater than 60' wide, a maximum letter height of
16" is recommended.
Guideline 5 - Sil!n Architectural Compatibility
.
.
Sign design should relate to and enhance building architecture.
Sign size should be proportionate. The size and shape of a sign should be
proportionate with the scale of the structure.
Place signs consistent with the proportions of scale of building elements within
the facade. Within a building facade, the sign may be placed in different areas.
A particular sign may fit well on a plain wall area, but would overpower the
finer scale and proportion of the lower storeÍÌ'ont. A sign appropriate near the
building entry may look tiny and out of place above the ground level.
Place wall signs to establish facade rhythm, scale and proportion where facade
rhythm doesn't exist. In many buildings that have a monolithic or plain facade,
signs can establish or continue appropriate design rhythm, scale, and
proportion.
As an alternative to an attached sign, lettering may be painted directly on the
building facade. This method resembles a wooden or metal band but does not
require the introduction of another material.

The identification of each building or store's address in six inch high numbers
over the main entry doorway or within ten feet of the main entry is
recommended.
.
Additional smaller building signs containing the name of the business should
be located at rear entrances when they are routinely used by customers.

K STREETS CAPE GUIDELINES
This Section contains guidance on the anticipated streetscape improvements as well as the
requirements for street furniture and other streetscape elements. The dominant elements of
the streetscape for Old Town will be street/sidewalk hardscape, building signage and street
furniture. The purpose of streetscape improvements for Old Town is to promote a high
quality historic image that serves to enhance the visual experience of the area for tourists
and residents a like. T he preservation 0 fthe pedestrian scale and the relationship 0 f
buildings to streets are important criteria in the Old Town area. The initial streetscape
improvements along Old Town Front Street and a portion of Main Street were completed
in November 1998.
An environment oriented to the pedestrian should be concerned with meeting not only
functional needs, but also sensory needs throughout the provision of a network of simple,
well-defined and well-proportioned outdoor spaces. In an effort to ensure a 1900-era
experience, it is important not to over-plan the streetscape as turn of the century
streetscapes were often simple, uncluttered, and less fonnal than contemporary streetscape
programs. In addition, fonnalized street trees were not a major component ofturn of the
century streetscapes.
1.
Sidewalk Concept
The preferred Sidewalk Concept for Old Town consists of a two-tiered system. The
first tier of the system is the public sidewalk. The second tier of the system is
privately owned, covered porches, and arcades and is commonly described as the
"browsing zone."
a.
The first tier, public sidewalk, which is located directly adjacent to the curb,
should be a minimum of 8 feet wide. However, a wider width preferred,
especially in areas where no second tier walkway is available. Wider widths
are desirable.
.
The sidewalks shall be constructed of wood planks. The plank widths
should vary in a random arrangement of 6", 8", and 10". The plank
sidewalks shall be flush with the top ofthe curbs. Concrete handicapped
ramps will often be necessary at corners.
.
Rolled curbs are recommended to provide an economical and softer
alternative edge treatment. The curb and gutter should match the street
paving materials.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV - 51
b.
The second tier of the system is privately owned, covered porches, and arcades.
This second tier is referred to as the "browsing zone."
.
The browsing zone shall be directly adjacent to and parallel to the public
sidewalk and is recommended to be a minimum of8 feet wide. Widths
up to 12 feet may be appropriate if seating areas are provided.
.
The height (elevation) of the porch/boardwalk shall not be greater than 12
inches above the adjacent sidewalk, unless greater heights are required
because of its flood plane location.
.
The porch should be open and accessible at both ends to allow continuous
pedestrian browsing from one storefront to the next storefront.
.
While porch railings are discouraged between the public boardwalk and
the storefront, they may be allowed, provided an entry/exit to the public
boardwalk is included about every 25 feet.
2.
Street Tree Approach
In keeping with the Specific Plan goal of not fonnalizing the Old Town streetscape
into a regimented design concept, street trees should be located to achieve a sense of
"planned randomness." This approach is accomplished through actual in-the-field
analysis since tree locations are not predetennined by a static fonnula (e.g. all trees
30 feet on center). No more than two ofthe same type tree should be planted next to
one another. Distance between trees may vary between 20 to 40 feet, or more if
necessary to avoid driveways and utilities.
Old Town Specific Plan

3.
Public Signage
Public signage is an essential and integrated design element of the total Old Town
environment. A carefully executed public sign program for Old Town can
communicate vital information, reduce traffic congestion, boost retail sales as well as
enhancing the architectural environment. For all public signage in Old Town, the
Old Town district logo should be incorporated into the sign. The concept for public
signage in Old Town is a three-tiered approach. The three tiers are Gateway Entry
Signs, Public Parking Directional Signs, and Street Name Signs.
a.
Gateway Entry
The original plan envisioned a gateway sign at each end of Old Town Front
Street over the traffic lanes. To announce the visitors arrival in the core of Old
Town. The materials should recall the architectural image of Old Town and
may include sandblasted wood, and wrought iron. This vital public signage
component was completed in February 1999.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 53
b.
Parking Directional Signs
.
Parking directional signs will be located primarily along Old Town Front Street
at intersections with side streets where public parking access i sa vailable.
Other side street locations may also be appropriate at or near the parking lot.
The signs will be tree standing and made of architecturally compatible
materials. Illumination should be provided. An example of parking directional
sign is shown below.
.
c.
Street Name Signs
These signs will be simple wood construction similar to the existing wood
signs currently located in Old Town. Old Town's logo may be incorporated
into the street name placard or pole. These signs will replace older street name
signage in the public right-of-way. Generic directional signs may be added to
the existing street name poles provided that specific business names are not
mentioned.
.
Old Town Specific Plan

4.
Street Furniture
Street furnishing can enliven and provide variety to outdoor spaces used by the
public. Street furnishings serve an aesthetic as well as utilitarian function. Proper
design and placement of such amenities will reinforce the Old West design theme
and create a lively and festive atmosphere throughout the year in Old Town. The
purpose of this discussion is to provide guidance on the materials and appearance for
all street furniture within the Specific Plan.
a.
Wood Benches
Wooden benches with vertical back slats and horizontal seat slats are preferred.
Pressure treated Pine may be selected for an economical approach while Purple
Heart wood is the perfect material for heavy use areas.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV - 55
b.
Street Lighting
.
Street lighting in small rural towns in the nineteenth century was often non
existent for communities like Temecula. In order to enhance pedestrian safety
at night however, pedestrian level lighting is recommended. The previously
existing lighting in Old Town is the single acorn on a concrete pole typical of
the 1930's - 1940's. This style is incorrect for this tum-of-the-century period
being sought for Old Town.
The preferred street lighting in Old Town is a simple lantern style of light
fixture. The typical standard applicable in most situations will be a double
posted pole. This style is required in the Tourist Retail Core and Tourist
Serving Residential zoning districts.
.
b.
Trash Receptacles
Trash receptacles should resemble either a whiskey barrel or crate or box in
order to maintain the desired western style.
.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 56
.
.
.
c.
Newspaper Racks
All newspaper racks located with the boundaries of the Old Town Specific
Plan, except for the Highway Tourist Planning Area, that are installed after the
effective date of the Specific Plan shall either be constructed of rough-hewn
wood stained dark or painted with a neutral color selected from the Sherwin-
Williams Preservation Palette, or surrounded by a similarly constructed
wooden facade.
In order to maintain an uncluttered streetscape, newspaper racks should be
placed adjacent to buildings and painted or stained with compatible colors.
The design of the newspaper racks and facades must be hannonious with the
Turn-of-the-Century look. Newspaper racks shall not located in locations that
block emergency access, crosswalk entrances, handicapped access facilities,
and store entrances. .
Lengthy concentrations of newspaper racks is discouraged to m¡mm¡ze
obstacles to pedestrian movement. The number of individual newspaper
dispenser in each rack should not exceed four.
Old Town Specific Plan
IV- 57
d.
Mailboxes
.
Mailboxes in Old Town should retain the rural delivery flavor ofthe mailbox
rack system shown below for a multi tenant situation. Material should be dark
stained wood.
<'
e.
Bus Shelters
While there will not be very many bus shelters in Old Town, the design should
be compatible with the Turn of the Century look. Bus shelters should be
custom designed and made primarily of wood. Color should be dark natural
stain, white, or dark green. Metal and plexiglass contemporary designs are not
allowed.

f.
Other "Period" Furnishings
Many other streetscape furniture items make up the total streetscene. These
items, in order to match the "period" style desirable for Old Town, will need to
be custom designed and built. These items may include:
. Phone booths;
. Drinking fountains;
. Fire hydrants;
. Utility poles; or
. Antique traffic signals.

C. SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES
2.
Commercial Site Planning Guidelines
Guideline 5 - Detached Accessorv Buildin!!s
.
Detached accessory buildings shall be placed on permanent foundations and
constructed of materials and painted with colors that are compatible with the
main building.
The designated use 0 f a commercial detached accessory building shall be
appurtenant to the use of the main building and located on the site based on
its design and function.
Detached accessory buildings shall be subject to the architectural guidelines
and development standards of the Old Town Specific Plan and meet all
applicable City of Temecula building and fire codes.
.
.
Guideline 6 - Fences and Walls
.
All fencing and wall materials utilized within the commercial districts of the
Old Town Specific Plan Districts shall be compatible with the architectural
theme of the adjacent building. Stacked river or natural rock, battered base
walls and the traditional look of wrought iron are appropriate as well as
western style wood fencing where applicable. Such structures should not act
as a visual barrier to a building, porch or ftont yard.
Use of indigenous and local historical materials such as granite for walls and
fences is strongly encouraged. Incorporation of wall caps and pilasters at
entry points can also be utilized where these treatments are indicated.
Fencing should encourage an open commercial and residential
neighborhood atmosphere, while providing a definition between public and
private spaces, through the use of walls, fences and hedges around ftont
yard areas.
.
.
.
Architectural features such as garden walls, arbors and trellises are ideal to
soften building mass and should be an integral part of the building.
However, it is important to avoid a tacked on appearance to hide poor
massing and architecture.
Chain link and bare precision block or other concrete masonry unit (CMU)
walls are not permitted fencing materials.
Decorative wrought iron or rough-hewn wooden gates used to accentuate a
fence, wall or building are permitted.
Detailing of column pilasters with tile or appropriate decoration representing
Western, Spanish ColoniallMission, Monterey or other period appropriate
style elements are desirable.
.
.
.
Old Town Specific Plan Changes - New Material Added to Section IV
Guideline 7 - Trellises and Shade Structures
.
.
Trellises should be constructed of materials compatible with the
architectural character of the adjacent building. Heavy rough-hewn timber
covered with vines is encouraged. Natural wood or neutral tone colors from
the Sherwin-Williams Preservation Palette should be utilized.
Covered walkways and shade structures associated with a building should
adhere to the design elements of that structure. Materials such as brick,
local stone, adobe block and stucco, in the case of Spanish
Colonial/Mission, Monterey, Western or period-appropriate styles,
combined with natural timber and rough-hewn beams are recommended.
Ground level landscaping and wrap-around vines are encouraged to soften
the look of these structures.
.
.
Guideline 8 - Gutters and Downspouts
.
Gutters and downspouts on the exterior of buildings in the commercial
districts should utilize designs consistent with the turn-of-the-century time
period represented in Old Town. Materials used shall be color coordinated
with the building they are attached to. Roof scuppers should not be placed
in areas that are visible from the street or other public places.
.
Old Town Specific Plan Changes - New Material Added to Section IV
.
.
.
Guideline 9 - Awninl!s
.
Awnings can add color, relief and protection of pedestrian and patrons from
the elements. They also can provide a setting for signage. The use of
awnings to delineate building entries and help orient pedestrians to business
locations is encouraged.
Awning care and maintenance should be conducted in accordance with the
manufacturer's guidelines. The useful life of a typical awning does not
exceed eight (8) to ten (10) years. (A property owner should not
contemplate the installation of these structures unless they are willing to
replace them every eight (8) to ten (10) years.)
All awnings within the Old Town Specific Plan area should be regularly
maintained and kept free of fading, stains and tears.
Colors of awnings shall be monotone hues selected from the Sherwin-
Williams Preservation Palette and coordinated with the architecture of the
building they are attached to.
Awnings can be imprinted with simple signage in accordance with the
provisions of the Sign Standards and Guidelines detailed in this Specific
Plan. Lettering style and size should be in scale with the awning on which
the sign is located as well as any adjacent awnings.
Awnings should be made of high quality cloth (plastic, aluminum and vinyl
material are not permitted) and be at least seven (7) feet high at the lowest
point so as not to impede pedestrian traffic.
Awnings should not be wrapped around buildings in a continuous band.
Instead, these structures should be used to enhance the façade b y placing
them on top of doors, windows and other openings.
Awnings should not be so massive as to dominate the façade but should be
in scale with the rest of the building.
If I ighted, awnings should be illuminated with period a ppropriate fixtures
such as goosenecks.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Guideline 10 - Pocket Parks
In an effort to provide landscape breaks along the commercial streets of Old
Town, a series of pocket parks in the form of pedestrian spaces, arcades as well as
mid-block paseos and courtyards need to be provided. These areas can allow
transitions between commercial buildings in addition to providing a setting for
public art, seating, drinking fountains, and shade structures. Buildings and/or
landscape elements surrounding a pedestrian space on a minimum of two sides
typically define an area as a pocket park.
.
Appropriate design elements such as gateways, trellises, architecturally
designed lighting and seat walls should be used to create a series of seating
areas for pedestrians throughout Old Town.
Old Town Specific Plan Changes - New Material Added to Section IV
.

G. PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES
.
The placement of public art within the Old Town Specific Plan Area is encouraged on
both private and public property. Public art gives a community an identity that can be
representative of a City's culture and heritage in addition to promoting social gathering

and fountains are all considered significant examples of artistic expression. Proposals
for public art are subject to review by the Old Town Local Review Board and must
comply with the following guidelines.
Guideline 1 - Location
.
Public art should be situated in highly visible places throughout the Old
Town Temecula Specific Plan. Public art is encouraged in all gathering
areas. Locations such as pocket parks or specifically designed settings to
accommodate particular art pieces are ideal.

Old Town Specific Plan Changes - New Material Added to Section IV
H.
OUTDOOR DINING/SIDEWALK FURNITURE GUIDELINES
.
Outdoor patio furniture and umbrellas used with restaurants and other commercial uses
within the Old Town Specific Plan are considered an integral part of the street scene.
As a result, period-appropriate street side fumishings as outlined in the following
guidelines are required.
Guideline 1 - Furniture
.
All outdoor furniture (tables, chairs, serving stands and bars) shall be of
high-quality, durable, and suitable for outdoor use. Wood, metal and natural
looking materials are encouraged.
Outdoor furniture should be in scale and consistent with both the
architectural style and colors of the adjacent building facade.

Guideline 2 - Umbrellas
.
Umbrellas shall be made of high quality canvas material (not plastic, vinyl
or aluminum) and be tall enough to allow pedestrian access.
Umbrella colors should be monotones selected from the Sherwin-Williams
Preservation Palette and be coordinated with the paint and architecture of
adjacent buildings. Multi-colored designs are to be avoided.
No signs or other types of advertising shall be printed on umbrellas, except
for the name ofthe establishment on the umbrella valance.
Umbrellas should be traditional market style designs that integrate well with
adjacent building architecture.
.
.
.
.
.

J.
SIGN DESIGN GUIDELINES
Guideline 3 - Sil!n Color
.
Where pictorial artwork is used in a design, multiple colors may be used for
that portion of the sign.
Colors used in registered corporate logos and trademarks should be matched
to the closest tones of the Sherwin-Williams preservation Palette when
possible.
.
Guideline 6 - Wall Mounted Siens
.
Additional smaller building signs containing the name of the business
should be located at rear entrances when they are routinely used by
customers.
K. STREETSCAPE GUIDELINES
This Section contains guidance on the anticipated streetscape improvements as well as
the requirements for street furniture and other streetscape elements. The dominant
elements of the streetscape for Old Town will be street/sidewalk hardscape, building
signage and street furniture. The purpose of streetscape improvements for Old Town is
to promote a high quality historic image that serves to enhance the visual experience of
the area for tourists and residents alike. The preservation of the pedestrian scale and
the relationship of buildings to streets are important criteria in the Old Town area. The
initial streetscape improvements along Old Town Front Street and a portion of Main
Street were completed in November 1998.
An environment oriented to the pedestrian should be concerned with meeting not only
functional needs, but also sensory needs throughout the provision of a network of
simple, well-defined and well-proportioned outdoor s paces. In an effort to ensure a
1900-era experience, it is important not to over-plan the streetscape as turn of the
century streetscapes were often simple, uncluttered, and less fonnal than contemporary
streetscape programs. In addition, fonnalized street trees were not a major component
ofturn of the century streetscapes.

Street Furniture
c.
Newspaper Racks
All newspaper racks located with the boundaries of the Old Town Specific
Plan, except for the Highway Tourist Planning Area, that are installed after
the effective date of the Specific Plan shall either be constructed of rough-
hewn wood stained dark or painted with a neutral color selected from the
Sherwin-Williams Preservation Palette, or surrounded by a similarly
constructed wooden facade.
In order to maintain an uncluttered streetscape, newspaper racks should be
placed adjacent to buildings and painted or stained with compatible colors.
The design of the newspaper racks and facades must be hannonious with the
Turn-of-the-Century look. Newspaper racks shall not located in locations
that block emergency access, crosswalk entrances, handicapped access
facilities, and store entrances.
Lengthy concentrations of newspaper racks is discouraged to minimize
obstacles to pedestrian movement. The number of individual newspaper
dispenser in each rack should not exceed four.

S ecific Plan SP-5
The Old Town Specific Plan (OTSP) was originally approved in 1994
and received appropriate environmental review at that time. This
proposed amendment represents the first comprehensive review and
reconsideration of the initial plan. The proposed amendments do not
change the current direction or vision for the Old Town area or
convert rural areas to areas of urban development. Instead these
changes update the Plan and incorporate additional design
guidelines. The proposed changes to the OTSP are listed below.
Update the information on the urban infrastructure plans.
Delete duplicate land uses from the permitted use matrix.
. Add supplemental design standards for public art, outdoor
dining areas, detached structures, fences, walls, awnings,
pocket parks, vending machines, and signage.
Modify the. Land Use Map as follows:
0 Expanded the Tourist Retail Core to both the north and the
south (including the elimination of the Community
CommercialfTourist Support area;
0 Added the southeast corner of Rancho California Road and
Old town Front Street into the OTSP; and,
0 More clearly delineates the location of the existing channel
for Murrieta Creek.
Update the historic structure inventory.
Delete the original implementation program.
This analysis evaluates the potential impacts to the environment from
the proposed changes to the Old T own Specific Plan. No specific
development proposals are being considered as part of this
amendment, as a result, speculative proposal specific impacts are not
bein considered.
Old Town Temecula is located within a substantially built up urban
area and is surrounded b residential, commercial and industrial land.
None.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one
impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
,¡"
Determination
(To be completed by the lead agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
,¡"
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be re ared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by
the ro'ect ro onent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be re ared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is re uired.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant
unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in
an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards. and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is re uired, but it must anal e onl the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
im bsed u on the ro sed ro'ect, nothin further is re uired.

Comments: The Old Town Specific Plan was originally developed to protect locally significant historic
resources in the Old Town area and provide detailed design guidelines to maintain the character of the area.
The proposed amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan represent a series of minor modifications to the
approved Specific Plan. The proposed Amendment to the Plan will consolidate all historic preservation
requirements into a single s ection and strengthen penalties for illegally destroying historic structures. The
majority of the modifications to the Specific Plan represent clarifications of the existing plan or typographic
corrections and will not affect cultural resources. As future development occurs within the Old Town area,
there is a possibility that buried cultural and historic resources may be identified. However, the potential for
this discovery, and any appropriate mitigation measures, will be. addressed when specific development
proposals are considered. As a result, no new significant cultural resource impacts are anticipated.

Comments: The proposed amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan represent a series of minor
modifications to the approved Specific Plan. The majority of the modifications represent clarifications to the
existing plan or typographic corrections. The other proposed changes, if approved, will not substantially alter
the anticipated future development in this area. Murrieta Creek is currently receiving flood control protection
improvements that will remove any 100-year flood hazards from the area. These improvements, which are
being carried out by the Riverside County Flood Control District, were not known when the original plan was.
approved. As a result, no significant hydrologic or water quality impacts are anticipated as a result of these
changes.

Comments: The proposed amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan represent a series of minor
modifications to the approved Specific Plan. The majority of the modifications represent clarifications to the
existing plan or typographic corrections. The other proposed changes, if approved, will not substantially alter
the anticipated future development in this area. The Old Town area is located between Interstate 15 and the
escarpment of the Santa Ana Mountains. When the OTSP was first approved, the Old Town area was
physically divided by Murrieta Creek. .Since that time the City has constructed an additional bridge to better.
connect the two sides of Old Town. The proposed Specific Plan amendments continue to propose an
additional bridge crossing over Murrieta Creek that will further tie the community together. Consequently, the
amendments to the Specific Plan will not result in the physically division of this area.

The Old Town Specific Plan was developed concurrently with the City's first General Plan. Both documents
were developed so that the Old Town Specific Plan would be consistent with the General Plan when it was
8;>pted. The proposed modifications to the Specific Plan do not change the degree of consistency with the
_neral Plan. The Old Town Specific Plan continues to be a significant part of the City's historic preservation
program. The Specific Plan retains the current historic preservation provisions and non-format related
changes strengthen the City's ability to protect historic resources. The City, in conjunction with the County of
Riverside, has recently approved a Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Program for t he Western Riverside
County Area. No habitat reserve areas are located within the OTSP. The Plan does identify the need for
wildlife corridors along Murrieta Creek. This issue is being addressed in the design of the Murrieta Creek flood
control improvements. As a result, no significant impacts are anticipated.

Comments: The proposed amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan represent a series of minor.
modifications to the approved Specific Plan. The majority of the modifications represent clarifications to the
existing plan or typographic corrections. The other proposed changes, if approved, will not substantially alter
the anticipated future development in this area. The Old Town area is adjacent to Interstate 15 and currently
receives some noise impacts as a result. The proposed amendments could result in additional residential units
in the Tourist Retail Core Planning Area, adjacent to Interstate 15, that might be impacted by freeway noise.
However, current Building Code requirements sets interior noise standards that all future residential units
would have to comply with. There may the potential for some construction-related noise and vibration impacts
when individual development projects are undertaken in and around the area of the Specific Plan. Future
construction-related impacts will be addressed when specific projects are being considered. The proposed
amendments to the Specific Plan are not expected to significantly increase the previously identified level of
noise exposure. As a result, no significant impacts are anticipated.

the anticipated future development in this area. The primary change associated with circulation and parking
impacts is the continuation of a previous interim policy reducing the requirement for off-street parking. The
proposed amendment will permanently remove most of the off-street parking requirements for commercial
uses in Old Town. This change is not proposed to affect the parking requirements for banks, bed and
breakfasts, hotels, and motels in the core areas of Old Town. To meet the future parking need, the City will
continue to provide centralized parking areas. T his change may result in the lack of parking c lose to the
entrances of some businesses. However, the areawide benefits to the future character of Old Town will offset
any adverse effects. As a result, no significant impacts are anticipated.
