These sessions are designed to engage the Board and Commission members and community early in the development of the Annual Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget process.

FISCAL IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: None Item No. 3 PLANNING MEMO CITY OF TEMECULA OLD TOWN LOCAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO: Old Town Local Advisory Committee FROM: Matt Peters, Director of Community Development DATE: March 27, 2025 SUBJECT: Frogparking Pilot Program Update ______________________________________________________________________________ PREPARED BY: Eric Jones, Associate Planner RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File BACKGROUND: Parking sensors from the City’s parking vendor, Frogparking, were installed on February 11, 2025 on Old Town Front Street between the northern arch and Main Street. The system is up and running and Staff will be providing monthly updates to the Old Town Local Advisory Committee regarding the data produced for this pilot program. The data below is taken from February 12, 2025 (the day after installation) thru March 6, 2025 and is accurate as of March 7, 2025. It is useful to define terms used by the Frogparking system so that data can be interpreted correctly. The below table includes terms used by the system that are incorporated in this report. Term Definition Occupancies/Sessions Total count of vehicles parking in a defined area Duration How many vehicles parked for a time bracket The system reports that Saturdays have the most parking sessions as shown below. Saturday, February 15, 2025 (Valentine’s weekend) had the highest sessions within the pilot at 870. Parking data also indicates that the vast majority of parking sessions are between one (22.8%) and two (11.1%) hours long. Three-hour parking sessions total 4.6% and longer periods drop off dramatically. However, the data does show that there are several spaces with extreme parking durations of well over 11 hours. These spaces are spread throughout the study area. Item No. 4 OLD TOWN LOCAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT TO: Old Town Local Advisory Committee FROM: Matt Peters, Director of Community Development DATE: March 27, 2025 SUBJECT: Vine Creek Project Update PREPARED BY: Eric Jones, Associate Planner II RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee receive a status update regarding the Vine Creek affordable housing project. BACKGROUND: The Vine Creek Affordable Housing project was heard by the Old Town Local Review Board at the regularly scheduled October 29, 2018, meeting. The Board recommended approval of the project with a 5-0 vote at the conclusion of the meeting. On February 20, 2019, the project was heard before the Planning Commission and approved. The project consists of 60 affordable units and is currently under construction. An item of interest unique to this project is its close proximity to the Butterfield Stage Overland Trail. The project will feature a commemorative sign to educate visitors on the history of the trail. The verbiage on the sign was created in collaboration with the Temecula Historical Society. The sign reads as follows: The National Butterfield Overland Trail through Temecula began as Native footpaths to water. As others entered the Valley by foot and on horseback, use of the trail greatly increased. By the 1840s, the extensive trail from the east, soon dubbed The Southern Emigrant Trail, became a major wagon road. The busy road was an expressway for passage from the east during the Mexican-American War and was the only year-round route to the 1849 gold fields in Northern California. In 1858, the enterprising John Butterfield applied for a permit to carry US mail by stagecoach between California and the East. Tracing much of the Southern Emigrant Trail, Butterfield established outposts where mail was exchanged, fresh horses were secured, and meals and lodging could be obtained. The 2,800-mile Butterfield Overland Trail between Tipton, Missouri, and San Francisco crossed Temecula Creek at the location of the present-day Vail Headquarters, where a portion of the trail has been preserved. The first Temecula Post Office was established on the trail at the south side of Temecula Creek. Roughly following today’s Santiago Road, the trail crossed into what is now Old Town Temecula, sometimes staying along the eastern ridge to avoid low-lying wet areas. The Butterfield stage stop just north of Temecula was near today’s intersection of Washington Avenue and Lemon Street. The nearest stage station east of Temecula was along the Temecula Creek near Aguanga. Mail was delivered along the Butterfield Overland Route from September 1858 to 1861 when the Civil War broke out and Butterfield's line was discontinued. The City of Temecula celebrates the colorful history of the Butterfield Overland Trail coming through town. Staff is currently working with the applicant on the final design aesthetic and location of the sign along the recently completed Temecula Creek Trail. The project features a host of amenities for residents. These amenities include a community room with exercise equipment, open space with turf, tot lot, and swimming pool with pool house. The pool house will include two unisex restrooms as well as a shower facility. Project construction is estimated to be completed near the end of September 2025. FISCAL IMPACT: None.
