R:\MinutesPC\101606 5 Stating that although he would not be opposed to a water park in the City of Temecula, Commissioner Chiniaeff did express concern with the location and the traffic impacts it may have on the adjacent businesses. Commissioner Harter stated that from his personal experience with the Wild Rivers in Irvine, the water park would be a well-run, maintained facility that would provide many employment opportunities for Temecula's youth as well as provide wholesome family entertainment; and therefore, he concurred that the proposed use may create traffic, but that the traffic would be less in the four month period than it would be with any other permitted use. Concurring with Commissioner Chiniaeff's comment that the proposed project may create some traffic impacts on the adjacent businesses, Commissioner Carey stated that any other permitted use would generate more impacts on a daily basis; and relayed that he would be in favor of the proposed project, noting that it would be a benefit to the community. Referencing potential traffic impacts that may be created by the proposed project, Commissioner Telesio reiterated that the site would be zoned Service Commercial and that Sports and Recreational Facilities would be permitted with a Conditional Use Permit; that the proposed water park would be consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, and Design Guidelines, and would generate less traffic than any other permitted use. Commissioner Telesio also reminded the Commission that the facility would only be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Echoing Commissioner Telesio's comments, Chairman Guerriero was also of the opinion that the proposed use would be a benefit to the whole community; and that it would be a permitted use that would generate less traffic than any other permitted use. MOTION: Chairman Guerriero moved to approve staff recommendation. Commissioner Harter seconded the motion. (Following additional discussion voice vote reflected unanimous approval.) It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to impose the following on the applicant: that another emergency pedestrian gate access toward the center of the park (southerly property line); that signage be brought to the Planning Commission for review; that the applicant provide a park -n -ride on the property during its off season; and that the applicant consider an inclusive price for admission and parking. At this time, the voice vote on the previously made motion reflected unanimous approval.

The site is currently utilized as a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership, but will be changed to exclusively a Dodge dealership. On March 16, 2006, the Planning Commission approved a similar application for an existing building to the north of the project site. The building to the north of the project site will house a Chrysler/Jeep dealership, thereby allowing for expansion of the Dodge operation on the project site. The proposed building elevation revisions will serve to establish a visual relationship with the Chrysler/Jeep dealership to the north. An outdoor display area at the front of the building will be enclosed to provide additional indoor display area, and the service writer area at the south side of the building will be revised to reconfigure the canopy area and to add interior area. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. G:\Planning\2006\PA06-0082 DCH Dodge Major MODWIanning\PC_STAFF_REPORT.doc 2 ANALYSIS Site Plan The proposed Major Modification will result in changes to the existing site plan, including the enclosure of a currently roofed outdoor display area at the front of the building and the reconfiguration of the service writer area to remove and replace the service writer area canopy and to add interior area. The building meets the minimum setback requirements of the Development Code and the proposed lot coverage of 15.3 percent is below the maximum allowed lot coverage of 30 percent. The on-site parking areas will not be altered, with the exception of minor revisions to parking spaces in the vicinity of the service writer area to accommodate the revised service writer configuration. Staff has determined the proposed dealership requires 150 parking spaces (excluding inventory spaces) and 176 spaces are being provided for customers and employees. Access to the site will not be altered, nor will the location of display, sales, or service areas on site and within the building. Architecture The proposed building design is consistent with the Development Code and Design Guidelines, and is compatible with the automobile dealerships and service buildings in the surrounding area. The proposed -building elevation revisions consist of enclosing a roofed outdoor display area at the front of the building with a glass storefront and a new entryway and reconfiguring the service writer area to remove and replace the service area canopy and to add interior area. The proposed building elevation revisions will provide multiple building planes, varied parapet height, and significant window area at the showroom portions of the elevations. The revised entryway at the east elevation of the building will create a focal point for the main entry. Building materials for the new portions of the building will be consistent with the existing portions of the building, and the proposed exterior colors and materials are consistent with the automobile dealership buildings in the surrounding area. The main body of the stucco and masonry walls will be painted Frazee "Intercoastal Gray". The stucco at the main entry area of the building will be painted Frazee "Olde Fashion". The proposed storefront consists of anodized aluminum frames with "Visteon Grey" tinted glass. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Class 1, Section 15301, Existing Facilities). CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION Staff has determined that the proposed project, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, and all applicable ordinances, standards, guidelines, and policies. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution approving the Major Modification with the attached Conditions of Approval.
