t '
.2 Planninq Application Nos. PA06-0135 and PA05-0402, a Conditional Use Permit and
Development Plan, submitted by M & D Properties, to construct and operate a liquid natural
.qas (LNG) station. The development will consist. of one 45-foot hiqh LNG tank. and
emerqenCY underqround water storaqe tank. and a 14.776 square foot office/warehouse
buildina. located at 28011 Diaz Road
R:\MinutesPC\ 120606
Per PowerPoint Presentation, Associate Planner Schuma noted that the applicant was asked to
analyze an alternative configuration for the Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) tank to mitigate for the
height; that it was concluded that installing the LNG tank horizontally rather than vertically would
not be a feasible alternative for the facility from a safety and operational perspective, offering
the following:
o That placing the LNG tank horizontally would impede the ability to meet the Fire Code
requiring a 50 foot minimum clearance area from all property lines and structures
o That it would impede on the ability to meet the Fire Code requiring vehicles which are
fueling to be 15 feet from the tank
o That it would compromise the access routes for Fire vehicles
o That it would hinder the queuing for vehicles waiting to fuel
o That it would prohibit the possibility of facility expansion.
It was also stated by Associate Planner Schuma that a recommendation to amend Condition
of Approval No. 16 to impose that the sale and/or storage of vehicles would not be permitted.
Additionally, staff received a request to amend multiple Conditions of Approval and would
recommend the following be amended as follows: Condition of Approval Nos. 25, 27, 33, 34,
92, 93, and 107 should be amended so that the Conditions state "at the time of, or prior to, the
issuance of a building permit for the office and warehouse building; that Condition of Approval
No. 73 shall read perimeter landscaping shall be installed prior to issuance of a building permit
for the LNG tank; and that staff would not support the reqlJested changes to Conditions of
Approval Nos. 52, 71, 72, and 91 , advising that they shall remain as written.
In response to Commissioner Telesio's question, Associate Planner Schuma noted that staff
analyzed different configurations based on setbacks and fire routes and was of the opinion
that a 50 foot setback around a horizontal tank would compromise Fire Codes.
Clarifying for Commissioner Carey, Associate Planner Schuma noted that due to California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, staff would not be in support of any changes
to Conditions of Approval Nos. 52, 71, 72, and 91.
. ,At this time, the public hearing was opened.
Ms. Veronica McCoy, representing Downs Energy, noted that the applicant would be in
support of staff's amended Conditions of Approval.
At this time, the public hearing was closed.
MOTION: Commissioner Telesio moved to approve staff recommendation subject to staff's
amended Conditions of Approval as stated above. Commissioner Harter seconded the motion
and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Commissioner Chinia.eff who was
. absent.

PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO CONSTRUCT AND

New Items
3 Planninq Application No. PA06-0305. a Maior Modification. submitted by Larry Markham of
MDMG. Inc.. to eliminate Condition of Approval No. 80 for Planninq Application No. PA06-
0018. This condition required that the overall buildinq heiqht would not increase as a result
of approvinq a fully enclosed roof desiqn for the residential buildinqs in Temecula Villaqe.
The applicant is requestinq an increase in heiqht of UP to 4.6 feet for the residential
buildinqs. located on the south side of Rancho California Road approximately 300 feet east
of Moraqa Road
Via overheads, Associate Planner Kitzerow presented a staff report (of written record), stating
that the applicant would be requesting the following:
o A Major Modification to eliminate Condition of Approval No. 80; that this condition would
require that the overall building height would not increase as a result 01 approving a fully
enclosed roof design for the residential buildings in Temecula Village
o That the applicant would be requesting an increase in height up to 4.6 feet for residential
buildings.
Associate Planner Kitzerow stated that with regard to height issues, there has been some
concern with adjacent r~sidences dating back to 2001; noting that staff would recommend
denial of the applicant's proposal; and advised that it would be the purview of the Planning
Commission to make the provision. '
In response to Commissioner Telesio's question Ms. Kitzerow noted that the applicant would be
requesting an increas~ in height of up to 4.6 for residential buildings; advising that the
architecture of the buildings would not change.
At this time, the public hearing was opened.
Mr. Larry Markham, representing the applicant, advised the following:
~
o That although the applicant would be requesting a slight increase in height, the roof.
would not impede the line of site from the backyard to the houses anymore than the
~xisting natural hill that was there before it was taken down
,
o That the entire upper pad was pulled down 8 feet at that time; and that two buildings
were moved out of the south/eastern corner of the site to get them farther away from the.
residents
R:\MinutesPC\ 120606
3
o That anyone looking down on the project would be viewing a roof and not a well
o That per staff's request, the applicant held a meeting with residences on the
eastern/southern boundary explaining the proposed changes
o That the applicant would be of the opinion that the proposed changes would be
aesthetically more pleasing than the original proposal
o That the commercial element of the site would not be changing; but that from the original
approved design pursuant to the Rite Aid change, the overall cornrnercial pad was
lowered 3 feet
o That with regard to the Monday, December 4, 2006 meeting, residents that would be
physically contiguous to the project site were noticed; advising that this would be a
smaller notice than the City's public hearing notice.
For Comrnissioner Carey, Mr. Markham stated that the only difference between the proposed
changes from the original would be the pitch on the roof and the difference between mansards
which was 6.12 with the well and the 4.12 that the applicant would be proposing.
Mr. John Watson, architect, for the proposed project stated that with regard to the warranty, the
California Building Code would permit very low slopes (flat roofs); that the California Building
Code would not allow Monier tiles to go below 2.5 and 12; that the California Building Code
would allow 3.12 but would require two layers of felt paper; that the faster you get water off the
roof the better; advising that a 4.12 pitch would be a better roof allowing the water to runoff the
roof faster.
At this time, the public hearing was closed.
For the Planning Commission, Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that she would be
comfortable with the 3.12 roofline.
Commissioner Carey noted that he would not be opposed to the applicant's request.
For the record, Associate Planner Kitzerow noted that she did. receive one written
correspondence from a resident (not immediately adjacent) who would not be in support of the
applicant's requested changes. .
Due to the condition that was originally placed on the project by the Planning Commission,
Commissioner Telesio noted that it was appropriate for staff to recommend a denial.
~Clarifying for the Commission, Mr. Markham relayed that the reason for the condition which the
applicant agreed to at that time, was due to the applicant not being able to give a definitive
answer to the height. That after an analysis it was determined to bring back the item as a Major
Modification.
Understanding the applicant's request for a Major Modification, the Commission expressed their
enthusiasm with the enhanced changes and did not see a reason to not approve the request.
