Commission Volunteers Needed for Calendar Project
PREPARED BY:

RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission selects two (2)
Commission members to be on a Judging Panel for a children's poster contest.
BACKGROUND: The City received two grants this year, one from the Department of
Conservation (for $20,817) and one from CR&R (for $5,000) our franchised solid waste hauler. The
focus for both of these grants is to promote recycling and litter abatement.
.
For the past three (3) years we have used these funds to design, print and distribute the "Recycling
and Litter Abatement Calendar". We wanted to focus on the education of our community's children,
hopefully to establish and encourage life long habits of recycling and litter abatement. This project
proved to be successful based on input and participation of the students, parents, teachers and
administrators from Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD), Hillcrest Academy and
Linfield Christian Schools. The City will be designing the calendar with recycling hints from the
Department of Conservation, as well as provide residential information regarding refuse and
recycling services provided by CR&R. The monthly illustrations, cover and honorable mentions will
be selected from posters submitted by children.
Our process for creating the calendar will be virtually the same as last year. Curriculum and lesson
plans, created by the Integrated Waste Management will be distributed to all 3rd and 4th grade
classes within the TVUSD and private schools that wish to participate.
We asked that the teachers incorporate recycling and litter abatement information into their lessons,
then allow time for an art project illustrating the lessons. We emphasize that the most important
criteria in our poster selections will be those illustrations that best communicate the importance of
recycling and not littering. We asked that all posters be submitted to us by October 8,2004. A panel
of five (5) judges will select the best 18 posters, twelve (12) for each month, one (1) for the cover
and eight (8) honorable mentions. All students selected will be invited to a Community Services
Commission Meeting for introduction to the Commission and presentation with an award.
We respectfully request two (2) volunteers from the Community Services Commission to serve on
this judging panel. Ed Campos, General Manager and Delores Badillo-Santos Community Relations
Representative both with CR&R, Inc. and Maggie Allen, Imagination Workshop's Manager will join
the CSC volunteers to form the entire panel. A time will be scheduled after October 8th to meet,
review and select the winning posters. This will allow us time to finish the design, print and distribute
the calendars prior to the school's winter break in December.

AGENDA REPORT

Community Services Commission

SUBJECT:
Review of the Draft Updated City General Plan
PREPARED BY:
David Hogan, Principal Planner
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission review the Draft General
Plan and provide the Planning Department with their comments and concerns.
.
BACKGROUND: The City has hired Cotton/Bridges Associates to assist in updating the
General Plan. Since this process began, the Council has appointed the Community Advisory
Committee (CAC) to work with the staff and the consultant. When the CAC was first created a
member of the Community Services Commission was appointed to the Committee. The purpose of
this item is to present the Draft Updated General Plan to the Commission and get any comments or
concerns. The purpose of a General Plan is to provide broad policy guidance and direction for the
future growth of the City and for all the activities that are undertaken by the City. The City General
Plan is made up of a number of issue areas or chapters that are called Elements. The Elements of
the City General Plan include the following:
land Use
Circulation
Housing
Open Space and Conservation
Growth Management and Public Facilities
Public Safety
Noise
. Air Quality
Community Design
Economic Development
.
All of these Elements, except for the Housing Element, are being updated as part of this process.
The Housing Element is different from the other Elements of the General Plan in that it is required to
be updated every five years. The previously approved Housing Element will be incorporated into the
Final General Plan document after the General Plan is adopted. Development of the next update of
the Housing Element is expected to begin in late 2005.
This copy of the Draft Updated General Plan was presented to the City Council and Planning
Commission at the workshop on August 10, 2004. A copy of the Plan is included in this staff report
as Attachment No.1. Based upon the direction provided at that meeting, there were very few
changes to this draft document. The additional changes to the draft Plan are included in Attachment
No.2.
R:\General Plan\Comp Plan Update\Staff Report CSC.doc
.
.
.
INTRODUCTION: For all the Elements of the General Plan, the essential and overall policy
direction is proposed to remain the same. In some areas where changes are proposed they fit
within the framework of the existing General Plan. Most of changes represent a shift in format and
minor text clean-up items. The most common clean-up items include: items reflecting changed
circumstances, a more careful delineation between goal and policy statements and implementation
measures, combining similar policy statements into a single policy for greater clarity, and updating
the implementation program for each element. While most of the changes are being made to the
Land Use and Circulation Elements, there are other changes being made to many of the General
Plan Elements.
Open Space and Conservation Element
There are no major policy changes being proposed for the Open Space and Conservation Element.
The primary non-format changes represent updates to baseline information and more specific
references to the City Parks and Recreation and Multi-Use Trails Master Plans as implementation
programs for the General Plan.
Economic Development Element
There are no major policy changes proposed for the Economic Development Element. However,
the Updated General Plan does include a discussion how the cultural and civic amenities, described
within the Cultural Arts Master Plan, are part of the City's overall economic development strategy.
Land Use Element
The primarychanges'in the Land Use Element are the inclusion of a discussion for Mixed Use and
Rural Preservation Areas. The Mixed Use provisions are expected to provide additional
opportunities to revitalize some old areas of the City and to help meet the City's Housing Element
goals. Goal 2, Encouraging Mixed Use, provides the framework for future mixed use projects. The
Rural Preservation discussion is intended to identify areas that need to stay rural to protect the
character and quality of life in the area. Goal 3, Preserving Rural Areas, discusses how these areas
should be protected. The direction provided by the remaining Goals and Policies remains the same.
Much of the southern and eastern Planning Area is included within an area described for rural
preservation.
Land Use Desianations
In the General Plan Update, several new Land Use Designations are proposed to respond to
changes within the City and the Planning Area. The new Land Use Designations are as follows:
. The Rural Residential Designation would establish a semi-rural land use designation with a 5
acre minimum lot size.
. The Vineyards/Agriculture Designation is intended to identify areas used for agriculture in the
Planning Area.
. The new Tribal Trust Lands Designation is proposed for properties in the Planning Area that
have been designated as lands held in trust for the Pechanga Band by the Federal
Government.
A Commercial Recreation Overlay is proposed for golf courses, resorts, as well as, RV resorts
and campground facilities. This would be used as an overlay on areas designated Open
Space to indicate that non-open space accessory commercial uses are envisioned to occur in
these areas.
R:\General Plan\Comp Plan Update\Staff Report CSC.doc
.
Land Use Map
The original General Plan Land Use Map was hand drawn at a fairly large scale. In the process of
preparing the Updated Plan, staff has gone back over the original Land Use Map and worked to
match General Plan designations to both the existing development pattern that conformed to the
General Plan and to the existing property lines. Many of the minor adjustments to the map reflect
these types of insignificant changes being made to match the Land Use Plan to the GIS base map.
However, there are also a number of other Land Use Map changes that are either more substantial
clean up items or are specific change requests to the Land Use Map that were made by the property
owners. Approximately 15 land use requests have been submitted by various property owners
through this process. Some of the changes were supported by the CAC, while others were not.
None of the approved changes represent major shifts in land use.
A major change to the Land Use Map in the French Valley area has also been made. Since the
initial adoption of the City General Plan, the County made many land use changes without notifying
the City. As a result, the City General Plan bore little resemblance to the land use pattern being
developed in this area. In modifying the Land Use Map in the French Valley, a great deal of effort
was spent trying to work within the context of the granted entitlements trying to ensure the creation
of a desirable and livable urban area.
The Eastern and Southern Rural Preservation Areas in the expanded planning area will be
designated mostly as Vineyard/Agriculture and Rural Residential, with some limited Very Low
Density Residential areas where there are a number of existing 2y. acre lots.
.
Circulation Element
The primary changes to the policy direction in the Circulation Element are provisions to allow for
additional street dedication (beyond the standardized rights-of-way) around higher volume key
intersections and the Community Advisory Committee's recommendation to consider opening closed
connecting streets to improve citywide circulation. The direction provided by the remaining Goals
and Policies remains the same.
Roadwav Cross-Sections
In an effort to fine tune the road network in some of less urban portions of the City, two new roadway
cross sections are being proposed. Both of the new cross sections are based upon the standard 88
foot Secondary Arterial.
The first is the Modified Secondary Arterial, initially assigned to De Portola and Ynez Roads through
Los Ranchitos, would have two divided lanes in each direction with no curb, gutter or sidewalk to
maintain the rural character of the area.
.
The second is the Lin1ited Secondary Arterial which would have one lane in each direction, with a
left turn lane and a separated trail. This cross section would be used in areas where lower traffic
volumes are expected and where the separation of equestrian and pedestrian traffic is important.
This is proposed for portions of Nicolas Road, Santiago Road, and North General Kearny. To better
match the County Circulation Plan, a Rural Highway standard is also being proposed. Rural
Highways generally have one lane in each direction with left turn pockets, though in some areas two
lanes may be needed.
R:\General Plan\Comp Plan Update\Staff Report CSC.doc
.
.
.
Other changes include:
0 Combining the previous Arterial and Major Arterial Roadway categories into a single roadway
designation because there was very little difference between the two.
0 The addition of a Rural Highway cross section to not only protect future rights-of-way, but also
help maintain the rural character of the area. The Rural Highway roadway anticipates that, in
most cases, the full roadway cross section will not be constructed until there are substantial
changes in the area. The Rural Highway designation is primarily used in the rural areas around
the City.
Circulation Map
Overall the Circulation Plan is not substantially changing within the City. However, in the Planning
Area, there are a number of changes to try to match the County Circulation Plan or address the
circulation problems that are expected to remain in French Valley. The proposed Updated
Circulation Plan contains a number of new roadways as well as changes to the size designations.
The proposed Circulation Plan is shown on Figure C-2 on page 21 of the Circulation Element. The
new major roadways are as follows:
Loma Linda/Avenida de Missiones between Pechanga Parkway and SR-79S.
North General Kearny from Deer Meadow Road (near Nicolas Road) to near the northern
segment of Calle Pina Colada.
Eastern Bypass consisting of Anza Road, Deer Hollow Way, and a southern connection to
Interstate 15 via a new interchange. This is consistent with the proposed County Circulation
Plan.
Sky Canyon Road/Briggs Road parallel route along Winchester Road past the future
bottleneck area by French Valley Airport.
In addition, the following roadways are proposed to be expanded in size to meet the projected
needs.
. Winchester Road from Jefferson Road to Hunter Road - Urban Arterial (6-lane) to Urban
Arterial (8-lane).
Rancho California Road from Old Town Front Street to Ynez Road - Urban Arterial (6-lane)
to Urban Arterial (8-lane).
Rancho California Road from Ynez Road to Margarita Road - Arterial (4-lane) to Urban
Arterial (6-lane).
. Ynez Road from Rancho California Road to Rancho Vista Road - Arterial (4-lane) to Urban
Arterial (6-lan!!).
. Jefferson Avenue from Winchester Road to the City Limits - Arterial (4-lane) to Urban
Arterial (6-lane).
. Western Bypass Road - Secondary Arterial to a Major Arterial. Both these roadways have
four lane configurations.

.
.
.
Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
The only policy change is the addition of a statement discouraging street closures that may limit or
delay access to emergency services. There are no other policy changes in the Growth
Management/Public Facilities Element.
Public Safety Element
There are no major policy changes proposed for the Public Safety Element.
Noise Element
There are no major policy changes proposed for the Noise Element.
Air Quality Element
There are no major policy changes proposed for the Air Quality Element.
Community Design Element
There are no major policy changes proposed for the Community Design Element. However, there is
some additional discussion on the Mixed Use Design Concept and on public spaces and public art.
CONCLUSION: The Planning Department is requesting that the Community Services
Commission review the draft of the Updated General Plan and provide your comments and
concerns. The Commission's comments and concerns will be forwarded to the Planning
Commission and City Council during the public hearing/adoption process that is anticipated to being
in December 2004.

Renaming Rancho Califomia Sports Park
PREPARED BY:
~(-Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission consider changing the
name of the Rancho California Sports Park to Ronald Reagan Sports Park to honor President
Ronald Reagan.
BACKGROUND: With the passing of President Ronald Reagan on June 5, 2004 some
people within the City have expressed a desire to honor our past president. An article appeared in a
local newspaper relati,ng that President Reagan purchased 771 acres west of Temecula near the
Santa Rosa Plateau in the 1960s with the intention of building a retirement ranch. That plan did not
come to fruition and the property was sold some time later.
The article goes on to relate that the president never forget T emecula and the American spirit that
lives here. In a speech given to the United States Olympic Committee in 1983, President Reagan
made the following comments:
One of the top priorities of our administration has been to encourage the
American people as individuals, as organizations in private and in business life to
get more directly involved in getting things done, solving problems and helping
each other. Private initiative is our most precious American resource, and it's as
alive today as it was when our ancestors used to join in barn-raising parties when
it was needed for a neighbor...
There are similar stories right here in California; the folks in a rather small town,
Temecula. They got together and built themselves a sports park, held fund-
raising barbecues and dinners. And those who didn't have money volunteered
time and energy. And now the young people of that community have baseball
diamonds for Little League and other sports events, just due to what's traditional
Americanism. ..
The park the president was speaking of is the Rancho California Sports Park. At the City Council
meeting of June 22, 2004, Mayor Mike Naggar asked the Community Services Commission to
consider renaming the Rancho California Sports Park as a tribute to President Reagan.
In reviewing the steps necessary to complete this name change, staff discovered that two deed
conditions were on the property when Riverside County transferred it to the City. The first condition
is that the property be used as a public park for 40 years. The second condition is that the park be
R:\RUSEPlAGENDASlnaming RCSP-rename Ronald Reagan SP 9-13-04.doc
.
.
.
named the Rancho California Sports Park for the same 40 year period. The conditions were
originally place on the property when its ownership changed from Kaiser Development to Riverside
County. While the County is unable to remove the condition from the property since it was placed
there prior to their ownership, the Board of Supervisors and County staff support the City's efforts
and will provide appropriate assistance in order to honor our past president by naming the park for
him. The City Attorney is working to resolve this issue.
Pursuant to City policy, the Community Services Commission is responsible for selecting names for
City parks and facilities. Attached is the Resolution establishing the park naming policy and list of
proposed park names for the Commission's consideration. The Commission may consider any of
the names on the list or any other name it deems appropriate or may determine to leave the park
named as it is currently. Once a name has been chosen, the name will be forwarded to the Board
of Directors for final approval. The Board may approve the name selected by the Commission or
recommend another name of their choice.

Exhibit "A"
TEMECULA COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
Naming Parks and Recreation Facilities
PURPOSE
To establish a uniform policy and procedure that identifies
criteria for the naming of parks and recreation facilities.
POLICY
The Park and Recreation commission will be responsible for the
selection of names for parks and recreation facilities. Once a
name is selected, it will be forwarded to the Board of Directors
for ratification. Staff will be responsible for encouraging
citizens and community organizations to suggest possible names that
will then be forwarded to the Commission for consideration.
At a minimum, each park and community building will be designated
a name. Naming of specific areas within a park (garden, swimming
pool, lake, ballfield, etc.) is acceptable but should be kept to a
minimum to avoid confusion. No park shall be given a name which
might be perceived as controversial by the community. All names
selected shall be acceptable and meaningful to a majority of the
neighborhoodlcommunity where the park or recreation facility is
located.
Priority in naming sites shall be given to geographical locations,
historic significance or geologic features. No park shall,be named
for a person, except where an individual has made a siqnificant
financial contribution toward the acquisition and/or development of
the park or facility, or has been an outstanding long-time
community leader who has supported open space and recreational
activities. I
All park and recreation facilities will be designated a formal name
within six months of acquisition or construction. All parks shall
have an entrance sign. Buildings will have an entrance sign and a
plaque inside the facility for name identification.
The name of a park or recreation facility may be changed only after
a hearing is held by the Commission to receive community input and
direction. No name shall be changed unless there is significant
justification and support by the community.

PROPOSED PARK NAMES
November 2003
The following is a list of names for various park sites within the City of Temecula.
These names were compiled through a community wide park naming campaign,
which requested residents of the City of Temecula to submit names for their local
park sites to be constructed in the future.
The Community Services Commission may select one of these names or another
name of their choice, based on the geographical location of the park, a geological
feature of the site, or they may name the facility after an individual that has made
a significant contribution towards parks, recreation or community services in
Temecula, or has played a vital role in the development of this community.
