This proposal would provide an additional transitional opportunity alona the interface with the Tourist R:lOldT ownlLRBlMinuteslO61404 Retail Core Plannina District by allowina new buildinas alona Mercedes Street to use the development standards for the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) Plannina District. Applicant: The City of Temecula 43200 Business Park Drive Temecula, CA 92590 Staff: David Hogan, Principal Planner RECOMMENDATION: 3.1 Receive and File Principal Planner Hogan presented a staff report (of record), noting the following: . That since the proposed changes to the Old Town Specific Plan were presented to the Old Town Board staff, staff has received inquiries in the Tourist Serving Residential Planning District along Mercedes Street; . That the purpose of the item is to receive the Old Town Local Review Boards recommendation on another suggested change to the Specific Plan (SP); . That the Tourist Serving Residential (TSR) Planning District was established to provide a transitional land use designation' to provide interim protection for the existing single family homes in the area; that the SP envisioned that the area would eventually develop much the same way as the rest of the TRC; that the proposal would provide an additional transitional opportunity along the interface with the TRS Planning District by allowing new buildings along Mercedes Street to use the development standards for the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) Planning District; . That the current setbacks for the TSR are more typical of single family detached neighborhoods with a 20-foot front setback and a 15-foot street side yard setback; that the suburban setbacks require that new buildings be separated from the street; that the sidewalk separated style of development is inconsistent with the development pattern envisioned for the core areas of Old Town; . That in contrast, the TRC Planning District does not have a minimum front yard setback area and actively encourages new buildings to be oriented to the sidewalk and the adjacent street; That staff is of the opinion that the discrepancy in setbacks between the two Planning Districts will result in an' inappropriately disjointed pattern of development along part of Mercedes Street; and that as a result, staff is proposing that new non-residential construction fronting on Mercedes Street be allowed to use the development standards for the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) Planning District. For Chairman Harker, Mr. Hogan relayed that there is one lot on the corner of 4th and Mercedes that is currently vacant and that most of the other lots have existing homes on them. Board Member Blair expressed concern with 3-story buildings next to residential properties. R:lOldT ownlLRBlMinutesl061404 2 Chairman Harker relayed that he would like to see more commercial in that area stating that it will be good for Old Town. Ms. Ubnoske noted that staff would like to have office/commercial be a part of the area. Board Member Allen is of the opinion that the cul-de-sac end of 6th Street should be included in the proposal and relayed that in the next few years things will be changing in that area. Mr. Hogan relayed that as Old Town matures, it would be staff's opinion to prepare and plan for it noting that it is an interim measure. Board Member Moore concurred with Mr. Hogan's comments. Board Member Blair expressed concern with the surrounding residences. For the Board, Mr. Hogan advised that the proposal would be an interim transition and that purpose would be to recognize that the TSR would be a transitional zone. After the Board's discussion, Mr. Hogan relayed that if it were the will of the Board, staff could eliminate the TSR completely and language could be added to the plan which would keep single family residences as permitted uses which would allow them to have full expansion rights and that this could be incorporated in the permitted use matrix by adding a footnote. The Board concurred with Mr. Hogan's comments. MOTION: Board Member Allen moved to recommend to the Planning Commission that the area be rezoned to TRC and allow any existing residences to full rights to develop their personal residences. Board Member Moore seconded that voice vote reflected approval. Redevelopment Director Meyer suggested sending the 29 affected property owners a letter advising them of the Boards recommendation and perhaps scheduling a neighborhood meeting. The Board concurred with Mr. Meyer's suggestion. DIRECTOR OF PLANNING REPORT Mr. Hogan relayed that the Specific Plan amendment will be going to the Planning Commission Wednesday, June 16,2004. That the two new planners have started with the City. DIRECTOR OF REDEVELOPMENT REPORT No reports at this time. CODE ENFORCEMENT REPORT A report was distributed to the Board Members.

PA04-0498 (Development Plan) Prepared by: Stuart Fisk, Associate Planner APPLICATION INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Russell Rumansoff Herron + Rumansoff Architects, Inc. 530 St. Johns Place Hemet, CA 92543 PROPOSAL: A Development Plan to construct a 5,296 square foot office building on 0.18 acres. Located at the southeast corner of Mercedes Street and 4th Street (A.P.N.922-032-027). LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: Tourist Serving Residential (TSR) SURROUNDING ZONING: North: Tourist Serving Residential (TRC) South: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) East: Tourist Serving Residential (TRC) West: Tourist Retail Core (TRC) EXISTING LAND USE: SURROUNDING LAND USES: Vacant North: Residential South: Vacant East: Residential West: Vacant R:ID P\20041O4-O498 Penny Dome Bldg\OTLRB Staff Report.doc BACKGROUND On August 11, 2004, Russell Rumansoff, representing Herron + Rumansoff Arcitecitéct, Inc. submitted Planning Application No. PAO4-0498 for a Development Plan to construct a 5,296 square foot office building. The proposed building would include an art gallery and office uses on the ground floor and office uses on the second floor. The project site is a 0.18 acre parcel located at the southeast corner of Mercedes Street and 4th Street, within the Tourist Serving Residential (TSR) district of the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to construct a new 5,296 square foot office building on 0.18 acres. The proposed building has been designed in a courthouse style representative of courthouses constructed in the western United States in the early 1900s, incorporating the use of brick veneer, cement plaster trim, fiberglass baluster and railings, a copper-colored standing seam metal roof, a copper dome and metal gutters and downspouts to match the roof, pre-cast concrete window sills, aluminum framed double hung windows, and a split face stone veneer base. ANALYSIS The Old Town Temecula Specific Plan does not provide architectural guidelines for courthouse designs, but states that if an applicant desires to introduce an architectural style into Old Town which is not provided for in the Specific Plan guidelines, the burden of proof shall lie with the applicant to provide evidence that the particular style is appropriate for Old Town. With the exception of the bullet point items listed below, staff believes that the proposed design is largely consistent with the courthouse architectural style based on a review of courthouses constructed in California, Utah, and Colorado in the late 1800slearly 1900s. While courthouses constructed during this time period were often much larger than the proposed building, the fenestration and details of the proposed building, such as balconies, railing and columns, are all appropriately scaled for the building. However, staff does have concerns with several design elements and requests that the Old Town Local Review Board provide specific suggestions regarding these items. Staffs concerns are as follows: The herringbone brick pattern on the building is not a pattern that would have been utilized on early courthouse buildings. Staff recommends that the herringbone pattern be removed from the building and that a standard horizontal pattern be used for all of the brick veneer on the building. . Staff does not believe that the proposed standing seam metal roof may not be appropriate to a courthouse style of architecture. Staff recommends that a parapet wall be considered in place of the standing seam metal roof to screen any rooftop equipment. This would make the roof more consistent with the proposed architectural style and with other buildings within the Old Town Specific Plan area. . Window lites must be provided to be consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan. Staff recommends that double hung windows containing 6 on 6 lites, or another appropriate multi-lite design, be considered for the proposed building. R,ID P\2004\04-0498 Penny Dome BldglOTLRB Staff Repon.doc . The second story windows should have a window sill as provided on the first story windows. The cement plaster trim below the second story windows helps to break up the building mass, but this feature should not be used as a substitute for a window sill. Staff suggests that a pronounced window sill be incorporated into the second story windows as has been done for the first story windows. . The cement plaster trim over the second story windows does not appear to be appropriate to the architectural style. Staff recommends that that the trim not wrap around from the top of the window to the sides, but that it be utilized only over the top of the window. Although the applicant has proposed materials for some of the detail elements on the building that are not listed in the Specific Plan as recommended materials, staff believes that these materials have an authentic appearance, texture, and mass, and believes that those proposed materials will result in a building exterior appearance that meets the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan while providing building materials that are more durable than wood. RECOMMENDATION The building proposed in this application appears to substantially conform to the Old Town Specific Plan as to design, materials and colors. Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review and provide comments on the design and materials of the proposed building. ATTACHMENT 1.
