A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA ADOPTING OBJECTIVE DESIGN
STANDARDS FOR MULTI -FAMILY AND MIXED -USE
DEVELOPMENTS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does
hereby find, determine, and declare that:
A. In 2017, the Housing Accountability Act was significantly strengthened through
the passage of three bills, Senate Bill ("SB") 167, Assembly Bill ("AB") 678 and AB 1515. These
bills were part of a comprehensive group of laws enacted -to address California's housing shortage.
This signaled a significant shift in the focus of the state's housing policies from planning to
production. In 2018, AB 3194 further amended and strengthened the HAA. As clarified by AB
3194, when there are inconsistencies between the General Plan and zoning regulations, the General
Plan policies take precedence; and
B. On January 1, 2018, SB 35, intended to help address California's housing shortage,
went into effect, requiring a streamlined and ministerial review process for multi -family housing
projects meeting specific qualifications; and
C. On January 1, 2019, AB 2162, intended to help address California's need for
supportive and emergency housing, went into effect, requiring a streamlined and ministerial review
process for supportive housing meeting specific qualifications; and
D. On January 1, 2020, SB 330, intended to create certainty in the development of
housing projects, went into effect, speeding up the review of these project, and created restrictions
on new local regulations; and
E. On January 1, 2022, SB 9 will go into effect, that requires cities to ministerially
approve, within single family residential zones, housing developments containing no more than
two residential units and parcel maps for urban lot splits; and
F. With certain limitations, the above -referenced laws permit the City to impose
design standards on housing projects, so long as those standards are objective and involve no
personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to
an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development
applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. Staff developed the "Objective
Design Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Developments" (referred to as "Objective
Design Standards") to establish objective design standards that will apply to any housing
development project that, pursuant to State law, requires ministerial approval or where the housing
development project is subject to discretionary review, but a Specific Plan or a Planned
Development Overlay Zoning District (PDO) does not otherwise set forth objective design
standards applicable to the project; and
G. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Objective Design
Standards attached hereto as Exhibit "A" on December 1, 2021, at a duly noticed public hearing
as prescribed by law, at which time the city staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and
did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.
H. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the
Objective Design Standards attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
I. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, the adoption of the Objective Design Standards has been deemed to
be exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant
to Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of the Objective Design
Standards will not increase the intensity or density of any land use above what's currently allowed.
The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed
ordinance.
Section 3. The City Council hereby adopts the Temecula Objective Design Standards
for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Developments attached hereto as "Exhibit A". The City Council
further resolves that the Planning Commission may revise the Temecula Objective Design
Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Developments from time to time without further
review by the City Council.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Temecula
this 251h day of January, 2022.

Objective Design Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Development I Temecula, CA - Jan 25, 2022 DRAFT Page 4
1.1 PURPOSE
The Objective Design Standards provide a clear set of architectural
and site design requirements for new multi -family residential,
including mixed -use developments. Objective Design Standards
are numeric and/or quantifiable and can be measured as opposed
to subjective standards, which require interpretation. These
standards will ensure development maintains the unique character
and quality of design within the City of Temecula.
The State of California continues to enact new laws that accelerate
housing production by streamlining the approval of housing
development at the local level. The Objective Design Standards
supplement the development standards of the City of Temecula
Municipal Code and further the goals, policies, and actions of
the City of Temecula General Plan, which encourages an elevated
design and fosters an enhanced quality of life through the built
environment.
Design Standards Structure
The Objective Design Standards are structured in an easily
understandable document using accessible language and imagery
to convey site planning and architectural requirements. There are
three primary sections to these standards:
1. Site Design Standards outline best practices for the
placement of buildings, the orientation of building entrances, the
design of convenient pedestrian pathways, the use of landscape,
and the design of outdoor spaces. Site Design Standards ensure
that buildings contribute to high -quality neighborhoods and
desirable places to live.
2. Building Design Standards provide general direction on
disposition of building mass and scale as expressed through forms,
roof lines, and fagade articulation. Building Design Standards are
intended to ensure a minimum standard of design and construction
quality in the development of new multi -family residential projects
in City of Temecula.
3. Architectural Style Standards respond to local design
precedents, regional climate conditions, and local building practices
and materials. Drawn from regional vernacular and contemporary
styles, the Mission - Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Tuscan,
American Rural, East Coast Traditional, and Italianate descriptions
included herein are intended to establish a strong, consistent design
image and direction that reflects the desires, aspirations, and
vision of the City of Temecula. Precedent images, descriptive text
and illustrative diagrams are utilized to communicate the essential
features of each style. Within each style, required design elements
relating to form and massing, roofs, walls and windows, materials
and colors and architectural features are outlined. Additional
treatments to heighten visual interest and design integrity are
noted as well.
Objective Design Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Development I Temecula, CA - Dec 1, 2021 DRAFT Page 5
Chapter 1, How to Use these Standards
1.2 APPLICABILITY
These standards are applicable to any housing development
project (as further defined below) that, pursuant to State law,
requires ministerial approval or where the housing development
project is subject to discretionary review but a Specific Plan or
a Planned Development Overlay Zoning District (PDO-) does not
otherwise set forth objective design standards applicable to the
project. A housing development project includes (1) a multi -family
residential project with two or more units, or (2) a mixed -use
development that includes housing. These standards apply city-
wide but shall not apply to a project if it is otherwise prohibited by
State law.
1.3 USER GUIDE
The Objective Design Standards are for residents, property
and business owners, developers and builders, architects and
designers, and City staff involved in the review and approval
process of multi -family and/or mixed -use development in City of
Temecula. The following steps are a quick way to understand the
different sections of the document and how to use it. Additionally,
this document has interactive checkboxes for each standard
to facilitate an efficient review and completion of the proposed
project.
Step 1: Review the Site Design Standards.
Site Planning involves a careful analysis of the opportunities and
constraints of the site, including existing features such as mature
trees, topography, and drainage patterns. The components of site
development extend beyond building placement and configuration,
including surrounding uses, retaining walls, landscape design,
hardscape considerations, and parking. The Site Plan Design
Standards outline several requirements on these topics.
Step 2: Review the General Building Design Standards.
While new projects need not copy existing development, their
mass and scale shall respect adjacent building context and uses.
The General Building Design Standards establish requirements
on these issues. Standards related to garage doors and entries
are also established here. These standards apply no matter which
style is being utilized for the project design.
Objective Design Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Development I Temecula, CA - Jan 25, 2022 DRAFT Page 6
Chapter 1, How to Use these Standards
Step 3: Review the Architectural Style Standards.
The design and detailing of buildings are paramount to a quality
environment, and the City of Temecula is committed to authentic
expressions of architectural style. Architectural design elements
and materials shall be consistent throughout the project,
recognizing that a building is 3-dimensional and must be well
designed on all sides. Detailing, choice of materials, window and
door choices shall reinforce the overall project design. To provide
guidance on architectural styles, the Standards offer a menu of
architectural traditions individual buildings may be designed in.
Developments with multiple buildings may utilize more than one
style if desired. However, styles may no be mixed within a single
building. These styles are as follows:
• Mission - Spanish Colonial Revival,
• Craftsman
• Tuscan,
• American Rural,
• East Coast Traditional, and
• Italianate.
Within each style description, various elements related to
roof forms, windows, decorative details, and other topics are
enumerated. The Architectural Style Standards require certain
elements, while other elements may be selected from a menu of
options.
Step 4: Review the Mixed -Use Development Standards, if
applicable.
For developments that incorporate a commercial component in
addition to residential housing, Mixed -Use Development Standards,
located at the end of each chapter of architectural style, provide
direction on design of storefronts, type of decorative accents, and
other relevant topics. Mixed -use proposals shall be consistent
with these standards.
Step 5: Review the City of Temecula Municipal Code and
consult with Community Development Staff.
All developments must comply with the standards of the Temecula
Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning), and any applicable Specific Plan
or Planned Development Overlay Zoning District.
Step 6: Consultwith the Community Development Department
(Planning)
It is highly recommended for prospective applicants to obtain and
become familiar with the application and submittal requirements
fora project priorto a formal submittal. Additionally, the Community
Development Department offers a Pre -Application Service that
is available to the public. A pre -application allows applicants to
receive staff review from various departments prior to a formal
application submittal.
Applicants shall follow application procedures as directed by
staff. The City of Temecula Municipal Code establishes required
procedures for submitting and reviewing development applications.
Applicants shall follow these procedures and requirements.

3.7 MIXED -USE
This document also presents standards for residential mixed -
use projects in City of Temecula. The purpose of the mixed -use
residential standards is to allow for a variety of housing types in
the city that serve all types of households, while also achieving
neighborhood goals for an active pedestrian realm along transit
corridors, an attractive street appearance, and minimizing
impacts on neighboring properties. The standards are also to
ensure a quality living environment that will be desirable and hold
its value over time. When mixed -use residential projects are well
designed, they can provide good quality housing and an active
and vibrant commercial corridor.
Mixed -use residential development is typically a multistory
building with commercial uses on a ground floor, and a shared
residential entry lobby, and common access areas such as
hallways or stairways that lead to individual residential units
above or behind the commercial uses. Parking is often shared,
whether in a garage or parking lot.
In certain instances, if a project is located on a large site, there
may be a mixture of residential unit types, for example multi-
family apartments and townhomes. In this case, each unit type
shall be designed to the specific standards and guidelines of the
unit type.
Mixed use projects shall comply with all applicable standards in
this document in addition to the following standards.
Objective Design Standards for Multi -Family and Mixed -Use Development I Temecula, CA - Jan 25, 2022 DRAFT Page 22

signage.
b. At sidewalk level, buildings shall be primarily transparent.
At least fifty (50) percent of the building frontage facing a
public street, primary pedestrian way, or parking lot shall be
devoted to pedestrian -oriented features (e.g., storefronts,
pedestrian entrances to nonresidential uses; transparent
display windows; landscaping).
c. Variations in the front building plane shall be incorporated
through the use of varying building setbacks, variations in
wall planes, and the inclusion of pedestrian amenities.
d. When nonresidential and residential uses are located in a
vertical mixed -use structure, separate pedestrian entrances
shall be provided for each use.
e. The pedestrian entrance to residential portions of the
building or additional commercial suites (upper floors) shall
be accessed through a street level lobby, architecturally
integrated entry corridor, from an adjacent alley, or from an
internal parking area.
f. Vehicular access shall be provided through the alley when
present. For lots without an alley, vehicular access shall be
provided from the secondary street.
g. For lots without a secondary street frontage and without alley
access, vehicular access may be permitted from the primary
street. In this case, reciprocal or shared access is encouraged
to decrease the number of driveways taking access from the
primary street frontage.
h. On a corner lot, the building shall be located no more than
20 feet from either adjacent street property line.
i. Buildings on corner lots shall be oriented toward the
primary intersection and the primary and secondary
street frontages, while parking and auto access shall be
located away from the primary intersection corners.
j. Parking shall not be visible from the primary street.
k. Parking entrances that impact the aesthetics of any
building facade facing the street shall be architecturally
integrated into the building facade.

5.1 STYLE DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman or California Bungalow style is derived from the influential residential style that emerged
in the early 20th century out of the Arts and Crafts movement. In City of Temecula, this style is deployed
to create a visually rich residential environment with allusions to regional history. As indicated in the
accompanying precedent images and illustrative diagram, recognizable elements include the artful use
of wood and natural materials, low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs, horizontal orientation and earth -
toned colors. Common design elements also include exposed rafters and beams under eaves, decorative
brackets and fasteners, full- or partial -width porches and large columns or piers. Though this style exhibits
a horizontal emphasis, vertical architectural elements are often deployed to accentuate corners and
entrances. Period Craftsman residences often featured exterior cladding of wood shingles or clapboard
siding and details such as extended lintels and decorative lighting with geometric detailing.

6.1 STYLE DESCRIPTION
A interpretation of traditional Mediterranean architectural style based on precedents found in the
Spanish Revival style joined by rural Italian elements. This style harkens to the Mediterranean variants
found throughout California, with rustic elements that speak to City of Temecula's rural context. As

include the use of stone and stucco, light earth tones, and red tiled roofs. Classical elements such as
columns and arches and decorative iron work add visual complexity. Squared towers and projections
speak to Italianate references. Porches and porticoes are common, as are vertically -oriented recessed
windows.

8.1 STYLE DESCRIPTION
The East Coast Traditional styles of multi -family housing incorporate elements of American domestic
architecture dating back to the early English and Dutch houses built in the first century of colonial
settlement. These precedents have been interpreted and re -interpreted during successive waves of
residential design and development over the past 140 years, and presently incorporate an eclectic
mixture of elements. Common characteristics of new East Coast Traditional buildings include materials
such as wood and brick; front entrances accentuated with pediments and pilasters; windows with double -
hung sashes and articulated lintels and sills; and porches supported by thin columns.

9.1 STYLE DESCRIPTION
The Italianate style originated in England during the early 19th century as a part of the Picturesque
movement, a reaction to the more formal classical ideals that were expressed through art and
architecture at the time. Italianate architecture is based upon the characteristics of informal Italian
farmhouses. The style migrated to the United States during the 1830s and remained popular here
through the 1870s. In California, the Italianate style is synonymous with the state's early mansions
and was typically applied in less formal fashion than in eastern and midwestern states.
