the Temecula Municipal Code to add Footnote Nos. 5 and 6 to read as follows:
"5. New office buildings in the BP and LI Zones are subject to Performance Standards

"E. Additional Performance Standards for Office Buildings in the Business Park (BP) and
Light Industrial (LI) Zones. In order to encourage desirable characteristics of these
zones, multiple free standing office buildings must be designed to be compatible with the
surrounding scale. Performance standards to achieve this include but are not limited to
the following:
1.
2.
Larger single and multi-tenant office buildings are preferred.
If multiple freestanding office buildings on a single site are proposed, they should
be clustered around a courtyard or common area sufficient to retain a pedestrian
scale and to prevent long "barrack-like" rows of buildings.
3.
The site should be designed with features that reinforce the visual and spatial
relationship of each building and courtyard area, such as the use of decorative
paving, landscaping, and pedestrian amenities that complement the architectural
design of the buildings.
4.
The landscaping and pedestrian scaled elements of the courtyard and building
entrance areas, such as awnings or trellises, should be integrated into the
elevation and the passageways should be safely lit."
Section 4. Severabilitv. The City Council hereby declares that the provisions of this
Ordinance are severable and if for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold any
sentence, paragraph, or section of this Ordinance to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining parts of this Ordinance.
Section 5. Environmental Compliance. The City Council hereby finds that this
amendment to the Temecula Municipal Code represents a series of minor changes regulating
the implementation of the zoning procedures and requirements that have no potential to
individually or cumulatively to impact the environment beyond that which currently exists. As a
result. the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to
Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
Section 6. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same to be posted as required by law.
Section 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30)
days after its passage. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause
