Section 2. Findinqs. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application
No. 05-0259 (Development Plan) hereby makes the following findings as required by Section
17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and
with all applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances of the City;
The proposal is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for
Community Commercial (CC) development in the City of Temecula General Plan. The
General Plan has listed the proposed uses, including retail, professional office and
service oriented business activities, as typical uses in the Community Commercial
designation. The Land Use Element of the General Plan requires that proposed
buildings be compatible with existing buildings. The proposed commercial buildings
G:\Planning\2005\PAOS.0254 Butterfield Station DP\Planning\final Reso.docl
have been designed to be compatible with the surrounding buildings currently located
adjacent to the subject site. In addition, the proposal is consistent with the development
regulations of the Community Commercial (CC) zoning district. The proposal is
consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for Commercial zoning of
the Vail Ranch Specific Plan.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
The proposed project is consistent with the development standards outlined in the City of
Temecula Development Code. The proposed architecture and site layout for the project
has' been reviewed utilizing the Commercial Development Performance Standards of the
Development Code. The proposed project has met the performance standards in
regards to circulation, architectural design and site plan design.
The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found to be consistent
with, all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure
that the development will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the
public health, safety and welfare.
Conditional Use Permit PA05-0319 (Code Section 17.04.010.E\
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code;
The proposal for a drive-through facility, is consistent with the land use designation and
policies reflected in the Vail Ranch Specific Plan, the land use standards in the General
Plan and the City's Development Code. The site is therefore properly planned and
zoned and found to be physically suitable for the type of the proposed use. The project
as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and
local ordinance, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will
not adversely allect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures;
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development
of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures because the project site is a
commercial use on commercially zoned land. The building is designed to enhance the
surrounding area and therefore will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or
structures.
C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buller areas, landscaping,
and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and required by Planning
Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood;
The conditional use is a request for four drive-through facilities on commercially zoned
land. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed drive-
G:\Planning\200S\PA05-0254 Butterfield Station DP\Planning\final Reso.doc2
through facilities without affecting the yard, parking and loading, landscaping, and other
development features prescribed in the Development Code.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community;
Staff has reviewed the proposed and feels it has been designed to minimize any adverse
impacts, including health, safety and general welfare to the community.
Section 3. Environmental Comoliance. In accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has been deemed to be categorically exempt

Re: Comments on PA05-0254, Butterfield Station
Dear Ms. McCoy,
This comment letter is submitted by the Pechanga Band of Luisei'io Indians (hereinafter,
"Pechanga Tribe"), a federally recognized Indian tribe and sovereign government. The Pechanga
Tribe is formally requesting, pursuant to Public Resources Code ~21 092.2, to be notified and
involved in the entire CEQA environmental review process for the duration of the above
referenced project (the "Project").
We submit the following comments on the above listed document for the Project.
Additional comments may be submitted directly by Pechanga or through their attorneys. We
request that all such comments be part of the official record for the approval of this Project.
We also request that the City of Temecula provide us with copies of all archeological
studies, reports, site records, proposed lestingplans, and proposed mitigation measures, and
conditions as soon as they become available, for our comment.
THE LEAD AGENCY MUST INCLUDE AND CONSULT WITH THE TRIBE IN ITS
REVIEW PROCESS
Sacred Is The Duty Trusted Unto Our Care And With Honor We Rise To The Need
Pechanga comment letter to ine City ofTemecula Planning Department
RE: Butterfield Station, P A05-0254
Page 2
It has been the intent of the Federal Governmentl and the State ofCalifornia2 that Indian
tribes be consulted with regard to issues which impact cultural and spiritual resources, as well as
other governmental concerns. The responsibility to consult with Indian tribes stems from the
unique government-to-government relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. This
arises when tribal interests are affected by the actions of governmental agencies and departments
such as "pp'u lal of Specific Plans and EIRs. In this case, it is undisputed thatthe project lies
within the Luisefio tribe's traditional territory. Therefore, in order to comply with CEQA and
other applicable Federal and California law, it is imperative that the Lead Agency and the Project
applicant consult with the Tribe in order to guarantee an adequate basis of knowledge for an
app.vpriate evaluation of the project effects, as well as generating adequate mitigation measures.
PROJECT IMPACTS TO CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Pechanga Tribe is not opposed to this development project. The Pechanga Tribe's
primary concerns stem from the project's likely impacts on Native American cultural resources.
The Pechanga Tribe is concerned about both the protection of unique and irreplaceable cultural
resources, such as Luisefio village sites and archaeological items which would be displaced by
ground-disturbing work on the project, and on the proper and lawful treatment of cultural items,
Native American human remains and sacred items likely to be discovered in the course of the
work. The Tribe would also like to point out that a preferred method of treatment for
archeological sites according to the CEQA is avoidance (California Public Resources Code
~21083.1), and that this is in alr""ment with the Tribe's practices and policies concerning
cultural resources.
The Pechanga Tribe asserts that the Project area is part of the Pechanga Tribe's aboriginal
territory, as evidenced by the existence of Luisefio place names, rock art pictographs,
petroglyphs and extensive artifact.records found in the vicinity of the Project. This project is
located directly adjacent to the Temecula Creek. This waterway was and continues to be an
important cultural resource to the Pechanga people. Not only the waterway itself, but because
numerous sites are located along and adjacent to this waterway. Temecula Creek is a very well
known and documented habitation area for the Luisefiol Pechanga people, as evidenced in
numerous archeological studies, and through Luisefio oral tradition. The entire corridor of
Highway 79, with the width of that corridor extending from the Temecula Creek to Pauba Road
to the north is a traditional travel and trade route for the Luisefio people, as well as containing
permanent habitation routes along the length ofit. This route stretched from the Pacific Ocean at
current day Camp Pendleton inland to the San Jacinto Mountain base and beyond. In addition to
the habitation areas along this corridor, there are many burial and ceremonial areas along the
route. In fact, the Initial Study done for the Butterfield Ranch Shopping Center indicated that
I See Executive Memorandum of April 29, 1994 on Government-ta-Government Relations with Native American
Tnbal GO\ ..._..._:.. and Executive Order of November 6, 2000 on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Govenunents.

Elderberry is present on the property. This is a welJ known indicator of culturally sensitive
areas, including burial areas. Given alJthe infonnation, there is a very strong likelihood of
locating sub-surface resources during ground disturbing activities.
The Pechanga Tribe's knowledge ofthe continuous occupation of the Luiseilo people in
this geographical area for thousands of years, through their stories and songs, are cultural
evidence that subsurface sites may exist in this Project area. Therefore, the Pechanga Tribe
requests that in the case of discovery of new or additional sites or resources, that the Lead
Agency re-evaluate the Project impacts to cultural resources and adopt appropriate mitigation
measures to address such. The Pechanga Tribe intends to assert its legal rights with respect to
additional fmds of significant sites or cultural resources which are of sacred and ceremonial
significance to the Pechanga Tribe.
Given that Luiseno cultural resources wilJ likely be affected by the Project, the Pechanga
Tribe must be alJowed to be involved and participate with the Lead Agency and the Project
Applicant in developing all monitoring and mitigation plans for the duration of the Project.
Further, given the potential for archaeological resources within the Project area, it is the position
of the Pechanga Tribe that Pechanga tribal monitors should be required to be present during all
ground-disturbing activities conducted in connection with the project, including any
archeological testing perfonned. It is further the position of the Pechanga Tribe that an
Agreement regarding at't'&vt'.;ate :.....:...ent of cultural resources be drafted and entered into.
Further, the Pechanga Tribe believes that ifhuman remains are discovered, State law
would apply and the mitigation measures for the pennit must account for this. According to the
California Public Resources Code, ~ 5097.98, if Native American human remains are
discovered, the Native American Heritage commission must name a "most likely descendant,"
who shall be consulted as to the appropriate disposition of the remains. Given the Project's
location in Pechanga territory, the Pechanga Tribe intends to assert its right pursuant to
California law with regard to any remains or items discovered in the course of this project. And,
accordingly, the Pechanga Tribe further requests that the Lead Agency work with the Tribe to
draft an agreement which would address any inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources,
including human remains.
Also, surveys and grading may reveal significant archaeological resources and sites
which may be eligible for inclusion in the historic site register, and may contain human remains
or sacred items. Therefore, we request that the Lead Agency commit to evaluating Project
environmental impacts to any cultural sites that are discovered during archeological testing and
grading, and to adopt "t't'.vt'.:ate mitigation for such sites, in consultation with the Pechanga
Tribe.

qualified archeologist in conjunction with the Pechanga Tribe. Any such testing should involve
the Tribe, and all tests to determine impacts should be completed prior to Project approval.
For the reasons above, the Pechanga Tribe requests the following mitigation measures be
adopted at the present time. Upon completion of a thorough archeological assessment additional
mitigation measures may be necessary.
I. Prior to the issuance of grading pennits, the Project Applicant/Developer is
required to enter into a Pre-Excavation A&,""ment with the Pechanga Band ofLuiseno Indians.
This Agreement will address the treatment and disposition of cultural resources and human
remains that may be uncovered during construction as well as provisions for tribal monitors.
2. Tribal monitors from the Pechanga Band of Luisefio Indians shall be allowed to
monitor all grading, excavation and ground-breaking activities within native soils in the Tribe's
aboriginal territory, including further surveys, to be compensated by the Project
Applicant/Developer. The Pechanga Tribal monitors will have the authority to temporarily stop
and redirect grading activities to evaluate the significance of any archaeologiCal resources
discovered on the property, in coJUunction with the archeologist and the Lead Agency.
4. The landowner agrees to relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including
all Luisefio sacred items, burial goods and all archeological artifacts that are found on the Project
area to the Pechanga Band ofLuisefio Indians for }',v}''', trea~ent and disposition.
5. All sacred sites within the Project area are to be avoided and preserved.
The Pechanga Tribe looks forward to working together with Veronica McCoy, the City of
Temecula and other interested agencies in protecting the invaluable Luisefio cultural resources
found in the Project area. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (951)
