o That Item No.1 would be an architectural issue, not a Public Works issue

In response to Commissioner Telesio's' query, Associate Planner Schuma advised that 160
residents within a 600-foot radius were invited to attend a community meeting but that only 20
residents were in attendance.
Addressing Deer Hollow Way, Director of Public Works Hughes noted that currently there would
be four lanes on Deer Hollow Way; that there would not be adequate space for parking because
the second lane would only be a 16 foot lane; and noted that anyone parking on the street
would be in violation of the Vehicle Code.
With regard to landscaping, Associate Planner Schuma noted that the landscape plan would
reflect changes to the tree sizes; that a minimum of 24-inch box trees would be proposed along
the entire perimeter of the site; and that 24-inch box trees have been placed between buildings
and within private yard areas along the golf course.

parking on the site plan, guest parking will be located along drive A, B, and C; advising that the
applicant would meet the City's parking requirement.
Thanking Ms. Schuma for clarifying guest parking, Ms. Ruyle noted that she would continue to
have concerns with traffic congestion on Deer Hollow Way.

Assistant City Manager Adams provided background and history of Item No.4 for the Planning
Commission's understanding and consideration (of record).
Senior Planner Papp provided a revised staff report (of record).
In response to Commissioner Guerriero's question regarding chewing tobacco, Assistant City
Manager Adams noted that the focus of the ordinance would be secondhand smoke, not
chewing tobacco. .
Speaking in favor of the proposal, Commissioner Telesio queried on how enforcement would be
addressed. .
For Commissioner Harter, Assistant City Attorney Flower noted that a Reasonable Distance
would be a distance of 25 feet in any direction from an area in which smoking is prohibited; that
this distance should be reasonably sufficient to make it unlikely that secondhand smoke would
enter non-smoking areas; advising that this would be enforced by a Code Enforcement Officer.
Commissioner. Harter requested that the language of the ordinance with regard to Reasonable
Distance be made clearer.
R:\MinutesPC\ll20707

(
Assistant City Attorney Flower noted that the appeals process would be built into the
administrative penalties provision; noting that with regard to enforcement, violations of this
Chapter would be subject to penalties pursuant to Chapters 1.21 and 1.24 of the T emecula
Municipal Code.
With regard to Commissioner.Telesio's concern with enforcement, Senior Planner Papp noted
that the intent would be to provide for the public health, safety and welfare by discouraging the
inherently dangerous behavior of smoking around non-tobacco users; that by requiring all new
multi-family residential projects containing 10 or more units, at least 20 percent of the units be
designated as non-smoking units; and that intent would be to educate the public that certain
areas will be banned from smoking.
Mr. Papp also advised that landlords would be required to show future tenants as to which units
would be designated as non-smoking and smoking units; and that any lease agreement would
need to disclose designated smoking and non-smoking units; and that there would be no
language in the ordinance that would prohibit a landlord from having more than 25 percent of
their units non-smoking.
. At this time, the public hearing was opened and due to no speakers, it was closed.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
. Expressing concern with enforcement issues but understanding the intent of the proposed
ordinance, the Planning Commission would be in favor of the proposal.
Helping to clarify the definition of Smoking, Assistant City Attorney Flower stated that Smoking
would mean holding or possessing a lighted tobacco product being smoked; advising that this
would not include chewing tobacco.
MOTION: Commissioner Harter moved to approve staff recommendation. Commissioner
Guerriero seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.

Marie Callender's Restaurant. for the chanae of exterior paint colors on an existina buildina.
located at 29363 Rancho California Road
Assistant Planner Le Comte provided a staff report (of record), stated the following:
o That staff would request that Condition of Approval Item No. 4 be amended to impose
that: the building shall be repainted back to its originally approved paint color by March
7, 2007, or that an alternative paint color palette shall be submitted and approved by the
Director of Planning no later than February 28, 2007, and the building repainted the
approved paint color palette March 31, 2007 .
o That non-compliance of this condition would result in Code Enforcement action.
In response to the Planning Commission's questions, Ms. LeComte noted the following:
o That on July 21, 2006, Marie Callender's began painting their building with a paint
palette which deviated from the approved color scheme
o That at the time Code Enforcement informed the restaurant Manager that they would be
in need of a Minor Modification to authorize the change in color paint, the restaurant was
half-painted
o That the Code Enforcement Officer strongly- recommended to the manager that they halt
all painting activities until approval was obtained from the Director of Planning.
Explaining the process, Principal Planner Brown stated that each case would be dealt with on a
one by one case; and that if a restaurant manager is amenable, Code Enforcement would only
issue a verbal warning, not a written citation.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff; Ms. LeComte noted that the Design Guidelines would discourage
bright colors and would encourage a harmonious and blel"lding palette.
At this time, the public hearing was opened.
. Mr. Ken Miskam, Marie Callender's Manager, stated the following:
o That the applicant was not aware that a Minor Modification submitted would be needed
in order to change the color scheme of the Marie Callender's restaurant
o That the intent of the color change would be to generate more sales
o That the majority of restaurant in town would not be aware of the need to require a Minor
Modification in order to change its color
o That the new trend of colors would be bright colors such as the color of the proposal
o That the applicant would not be in favor of changing the colors of the building, advising
that it would be very expensive. .
Commissioner Guerriero expressed concern with the applicant not following the color change
process which would be imposed in the City's Design Guidelines.
Commissioner Telesio noted that he would find it difficult to accept that the applicant was not
aware of the color change process. .

For the applicant, the Planning Commission stated that the Development Plan included an
approval of an English Tudor architectural style with elements of English Pub Style (Planning
Commission staff report, February 2, 1998); advising that the applicant deviated from the
approved color scheme without the approval of .the Director of Planning.
Mr. Miskam advised that the proposed colo~ scheme would help reintroduce Marie Callender's
to the public, noting that the color change would be exciting and interesting and would promote
business.
The Planning Commis~ion reiterated the importance of following the proper channels and
submitting requests for change of colors.
The following individuals spoke against the existing color scheme, advising that it would not be
consistent with the Rancho Highlands Specific Plan and City-Wide Design Guidelines.
o Ms. Eve Craig, Temeculli
o Mr. Elton Ward.
At this time, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Harter stated that it would be his opinion that if the applicant were desirous of a
color change they should have' properly and that by requiring the applicant to change to the
approved colors would be setting a bad precedent.
Commissioner Telesio noted that he will maintain his position in that the colors be conformed to
the list of approved colors and materials.
Reiterating the importance of submitting requests through the proper channels, Commissioner
Carey would be in favor of staff reCommendation.
Although he would not be opposed to the current bold color scheme, Chairman Chiniaeff noted
that it would be important that proper submittals be taken.
Commissioner Telesio noted that he would be willing to work with staff and the applicant on a
sub-committee to come up with appropriate colors that would be in keeping with the surrounding
community.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Tract 31344 for the Gallery Portraits 10 lot single-family. home development was approved by
the Planning Commission on April 4, 2004. The map included a separate conceptual
landscape plan that proposed a 14 foot landscape easement to be maintained by the
Community Services Department along Rancho Vista Road. On May 12, 2005, the Director of
Planning approved a Development Plan application for product review, which also included the
same landscape design along Rancho Vista Road.
Shortly after the applicant gained entitlements, they discovered that stormwater/drainage
runoff from the single-family residential development to the east was directed down the slope
(which is located in lot 1's rear yard), into the proposed project. To correct this issue, a storm
drain pipe needed to be installed along the north west side of lot 1 to channel the water down
the slope. The runoff follows the northern tract boundary on lot 1's side yard, and exits at
Rancho Vjsta into a storm drain in the right-of-way.
G:\PIannIng\2007\PA07-oG52 Ganery Homes Minor ModificalionIPlannlnglPC STAFF REPORT.doc
2
The original landscape plan showed a total of fourteen foot landscape buffer along Rancho
Vista Road, which eight feet. of the buffer extended into Lot 1's .side yard.' Since the
Community Services Department would maintain the fourteen foot wide landscape buffer, a
landscape easement would be placed on a portion of Lot 1 's side yard. A block wall was also
planned to be located within the property line of Lot 1. With the drain pipe being installed in
this area, the wall had to be located, closer to Rancho Vista Road to accommodate the
drainage pipe and drainage easement resulting in six feet of landscaping along Rancho Vista
Boad being maintained by the Community Services Department and the block wall being
located on the property line.
Due to the installation of the drainage pipe, the precise grading .and landscape plans were
revised by the applicant and submitted to the Public Works and Community Services
Departments and then routed to the Planning Department.. The Planning Department
inadvertently approved' the revised changes without the approval of a Minor Modification
application. Since the Planning Commission originally approved the Tract Map with conceptual
landscape plan, only the Planning Commission can make . the decision of approving the
relocation of the block wall.
Creeping Fig vines are proposed on the walls along with various types of shrubs such as Red
Sage, Spring Bouquet, and Australian Willow trees .are also provided. Staff believes that the
landscaping proposed will soften the wall elevation and also blend with the surrounding
development.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Section 15301, .
Existing Facilities, Class 1)
CONCLUSIONlRECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Minor Modification to approve the relocation of an
existing 10 foot high block walVretaining wall along Rancho Vista Road for the previously
approved Gallery Portraits, a ten lot single-family home development based upon the findings
below. .

Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
The Development Plan application was submitted on May 15, 2006. A Development Review
Committee meeting was held on June 29, 2006. Staff met. with the applicant to discuss
landscaping, parking, architectural design and other comments and concerns. The applicant.
re-submitted the revised plans on October 10, 2006, and again on January 23,2007. A Minor
Exception application was submitted on February 15, 2007 to reduce the number of required
parking spaces by three spaces, from 45 required spaces to 42 spaces provided. .
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The project proposes to construct a 13,500 square foot, two-story medical office building, at
28975 Old Town Front Street. The.9 acre parcel is generally located west of Old Town Front
Street, approximately 1,900 feet south of Santiago Road, in the Service Cornmercial zoning
district. ..
G:IPlanningl2006\PA06-0140 Ahmed Medical Ole Bldg Dev PlanlPlanninglPC STAFF REPORT.doc
2
The project meets the minimum setback requirements and development standard
requirements for the Service Commercial zoning district, with the exception of the target Floor
Area Ratio (FAR), ~nd parking requirements. . The FAR for the project is proposed at .36,
which exceeds the allowable target FAR of .30. However, the Development Code does allow
for projects to exceed the target FAR when exceptional architectural design and landscape
amenities are incorporated into the project (Development Code Section 17.08.050).
Additionally, the applicant has filed an application for a Minor Exception to reduce the number
of parking spaces by three spaces, from 45 required spaces to 42 spaces, as discussed below.
Parkina/Circulation
Parking for the project is required at one space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area.
The project proposes 42 parking spaces, however 45 spaces are required. The applicant has
applied for a minor exception which allows for up to a 15% reduction from the 45 spaces that
are required. A 15% reduction from the code requirement would allow for a reduction of up to
six spaces, and the applicant is proposing to decrease the number of required parking spaces
by only three spaces. Staff believes that the minor exception to reduce the required number of
parking spaces by three spaces Can be justified because the request is minor in nature, and
within the allowable 15% reduction per the Development Code. In addition, there are unique
physical constraints of the site that are not associated with most other Service Commercial
(SC) zoned properties in the city because of the creek and floodplain.
Pedestrian access to the site includes a decorative stamped-concrete walkway access from
Old Town Front Street to the proposed building. Vehicle access will be taken from an
ingress/egress driveway located off of Old Town Front Street. This vehicular entryway is
located atlhe southern portion of the site andprovi~es access into the parking area. The site
plan provides adequate circ!llation for vehicles anticipated to utilize the site, as well as
emergency vehicles. The Fire Department has reviewed the site plan .and determined that
there is proper access and circulation to provide emergency services to the site. One delivery
space is provided, thereby meeting the loading space requirement of Section 17.24.060 of, the
Development Code. The Public Works Department has reviewed the site plan and has
determined that the project, as conditioned, provides adequate circulation and access. In
addition, all necessary improvements will be installed per the requirements and standards of
the Public. Works Department.
Architecture
The project has been reviewed by the city's architectural conslJltant, and appropriate design
revisions have been made by the applicant based upon the architectural review of the
proposed project.
The architectural style is that of a modern style with slight Moorish influence. The design of the
proj~ct incorporates modern architectural statements which'are appropriate for a contemporary
office building. The project achieves its. architectural style by incorporating balanced
symmetry, layering of simple forms, and a front entry feature that visually draws the eye. The
project architect hopes to achieve a sense of classic majesty that is not dependent upon heavy
decoration to sustain the building's contemporary beauty. Distinctively modemistic elements
have been added to the building fa<;:ade providing additional design enhancements.
G:IPlanning\2006\PA06-0140 Ahmed Medical Ole Bldg Dev PlanlPlanninglPC STAFF REPORT.doc
3 .
Various breaks in the wall planes have been achieved by combining popped-out elements with
color and material changes. Horizontal siding has been added to the building to further accent
the expansive windows on the front elevation, and to emphasize the horizontal lines of the
architecture. Horizontal balcony rails and sleek metal window "eye-brows" add visual contrast,
and collectively bring the larger building masses together. A Limestone tile~blend has been
added to the base of the building to provide additional enhancement. Limestone tile has also
been strategically placed on the building to stylistically highlight the building entries and
enhance the modernistic architectural style of the building. The roof line is accentuated with a
sleek metal cornice which ties in with the contemporary architectural style, and acts as an
accent trim on the faQade. A collaborative effort between staff, the project applicant and the
City's consulting architect has achieved the "exceptional architecture" that is required per the
Development Code to allow for the proposed increase in the target Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to
.36.
In addition, the project incorporates decorative pedestrian walk-ways which lead to two .
common seating areas, also complete with decorative paving, to provide outdoor passive
eating or seating for customers and employees. One of seating areas is located at the rear of
the project which abuts Temecula Creek. The enhanced pedestrian walkway allows for access
to the future recreationlbike path which will run along the creek channel.
. Landscaoina
The landscape plan conforms to the landscape requirements of the Development Code and
City-Wide Design Guidelines. Tree and shrub placement will serve to effectively screen onsite
parking areas and effectively soften the building elevations. The project includes 6,580 square
.feet of landscaping (20%), which is. consistent with the 20% minimum required by the
Development Code. Large evergreen canopy trees will provide year-round visual interest and
screening, and seasonal flowering buds will provide additional color. Blooming perennial trees
, will provide purplish-pink flowers to accent the evergreens at the front of the site and along the
front and rear building elevations. High color flowering plantings have also been included
along the front of the parking area and seasonal flowers accent the entry drive, as well as the
main building entry.
Since the applicant has proposed to exceed tlie target FAR additional pedestrian amenities
have been incorporated into the landscape design which will meet the intent of Development
Code Section 17.08.05010 allow for an increase in the building FAR. The project incorporates
enhanced decorative paving, creating a walkway connection from Old Town Front Street
through the parking area, through the entry corridor of the building, and to the rear of the
project site which backs up to Temebula Creek. This walkway will allow for public access to
the future recreational open spacelbike trail which will run "along the creek channel.
The project also includes two passive eating and seating areas for customers and employees.
These outdoor lounge areas are enhanced. with decorative paving, accent planters and
outdoor patio furniture groupings complete with umbrellas to provide shade opportunities. The
landscape amenities also include two stepping stone trails, which take access from the far
north and south of the site to provide additional pedestrian linkages to the creek channel and
recreational open space. .

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Section 15332, Class
32, In-fill Development Projects).
CONCLUSIONIRECOMMENDATION
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 approval of the Development Plan subject to the
attached conditions of approval.
FINDINGS
Development Plan-Chapter 17.05.010. F
1. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for the City of Temecula
and with all applicable requirements of state law and other ordinances ofthe City.
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, and with
the development code standards and all zoning requirements for the Service
Commercial zoning district. The project meets all applicable design standards
contained within the Development Code and City-Wide Design Guidelines. The site is
properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the type of
development proposed. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other
applicable requirements of State law 'and local ordinances, including the Califomia
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes.
2. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The overall design of this project, including the site design, building elevations, parking,
circulation and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to
protect the health and safety of those working in and around the site. 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 which will protect the public
health, safety and general welfare.
Minor Exception-Chapter 17.03.060. D
1. There are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships created by strict application
to the code due to physical characteristics of the property. '
G:lPlanningl2OO6lPA06..Q140 Ahmed Medical Ole Bldg Dev PlanlPlanninglPC STAFF REPORT.doc
, 5
There are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships created by strict application
to the code. The subject property has been reduced in size due to a partial acquisition
of the property by Riverside County Flood Control. The acquisition of a portion of the
project site has resulted in a reduced amount of developable property which may have
otherwise been used to provide all of the parking spaces that are required by thl3
Development Code.
2. The minor exception does not grant special privileges which are not otherwise available
to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity.
The minor exception does not grant special privileges, which are not otherwise
available to surrounding properties because this exception to the current co,de
requirement is minor in nature and consistent with Development Code Section
17.03.06, which allows for ,up to a 15% deviation from the code requirement. The
request for the minor exception could allow for a reduction of up to six parking spaces;
however the applicant is requesting a reduction of only three parking spaces. This
reduction in the required number of parking spaces is minor in nature, and the approval
of this minor exception will not set, a precedent for future development because all
projects are required to clearly and accurately show the required number of parking
space in order to determine that the parking that is being provided is consistent with the
requirements set forth in the Development Code. It is not anticipated that the
requested reduction in parking will have an adverse affect' on the public welfare, or to
the property of other persons located in the vicinity of the project site.
3. The minor exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect surrounding
properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the zone. '
,This minor exception to reduce the number of required parking spaces is not
anticipated to have an adverse impact on the public health, safety or welfare. Suitable
conditions to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the public and to protect the
surrounding properties have been' included as part of the development plan approval,
and since no adverse affects are anticipated, no additional conditions of approval for
the minor exception are necessary. The minor exception does not permit uses which
are not otherwise allowed in the zone. The subject property is' zoned SeNice
Commercial (SC), and professional office uses are permitted in the Service Commercial
zoning district. Consistent with the Development Code, the minor exception is simply
, allowing for 42 parking spaces to be provided, when 45 spaces are required. This
reduction in the number of required parking spaces only reduces the number of
required spaces by three spaces, where the full 15% deviation from the code
requirement would allow for a reduction of up to six spaces.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION
NO. PA06-o140, A DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO CONSTRUCT A
13,500 SQUARE FOOT, TWO-STORY MEDICAL OFFICE
BUILDING ON .9 ACRES; AND PLANNING APPLICATION NO.
PA07-0055, A MINOR EXCEPTION TO REDUCE THE NUMBER '
OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES, LOCATED AT OLD TOWN
, FRONT STREET, GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE
OF OLD TOWN FRONT STREET AND APPROXIMATELY 1,900
FEET SOUTH OF SANTIAGO ROAD (922-110-042).
Section 1. Procedural Findinas. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and d13clare that:
A. On May 15, 2006, Mr. Joe Or/loff representing Interactive Architects filed,
Planning Application No. PA06-0140, a Development Plan Application in a manner in accord
with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code; On February 15, 2007, Mr.
Troy Schlereth, representing MACS Management, filed Planning Application No. PA07-0055, a
Minor Exception Application, in,a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and
Development Code.
B. The Applications were processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in
the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Applications and
environmental review on March 7, 2007, 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.
D. At the conclusion of the Commission hearing and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Commission approved Planning Application Nos. PA06-0140, and PA07-0055,
subject to and based upon the findings ,set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findinas. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Development Plan-Chapter 17.05.010.F
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and
with all applicable requirements of State law and other ordinance of the City;
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, and with the
Development Code standards and all zoning requirements for the Service Commercial'
zoning district. The project meets all applicable design standards contained within the
Development Code and City-Wide Design Guidelines. The site is properly planned and
zoned, and as conditioned, is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
The project, as' conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements of
fr.\Planningl2OO6\PA06-0140 Ahmed Medical Ofc Bldg Dev PlanlPl&mingIPC RESOLUTION EXEMPI' FROM CEQA.doc
, 1
State . law and local ordinances, including the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and all applicable fire and building codes.
B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health; safety and general welfare;
The overall design of this project, including the site design, building elevations, parking,
circulation and other associated site improvements, is consistent with, and intended to
protect the health and safety of those working in and around the site. 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 which will protect the public,
health, safety and general weffare.
Minor Exception-Chapter Chapter 17.03.060.0
A. There are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships created by strict
application to the code due to physical characteristics of the property;
There are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships created by strict application to
the code. The subject property has been reduced in size due to a partial acquisition of
the property by Riverside County Flood Control. This acquisition poses less developable
area which may have otherwise been used to provide all of the required parking spaces
as required by the Development Code.
B. The Minor Exception does not grant special privileges which are not otherwise
available to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity;
The minor exception does not grant special privileges, which are not otherwise available
to su"ounding properties because this exception to the current code requirement is
minor in nature and consistent with Development Code Section 17.03.06, which allows
for a 15% deviation from the code requirement. The request for the minor exception
could allow for a reduction of up to six parking spaces; however the applicant is
requesting a reduction of only three parking spaces. This reduction is minor in nature
and the approval of this minor exception will not set a precedent for future development
because all projects are required to clearly and accurately show the required number of
parking space in order to ,determine that the parking that is being provided in consistent
with' the requirements set forth in the Development Code. It is not anticipated that the
requested reduction in parking will have an adverse affect on the public weffare, or to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity of th€l project site.
C. The minor exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect .'
surrounding properties and does not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the zone;
This minor exception to reduce the number of required parking spaces is not anticipated
to have an adverse impact on the public health, safety. or weffare. Suitable conditions to
safeguard the health,' safety and weffare of the public and to protect the surrounding
properties have been included as part of the development plan approval. The reduction
in the required number of parking spaces by only three spaces is not anticipated to have
an adverse affect on the public health, safety and weffare. Therefore, no additional
I
G:lPIaDningl2OO6\PA06-0140 Ahmed Medical Ofc Bldg De. PlanlPlaDningIPC RESOLUI10N BXEMPT FROM CEQAdoc
2
conditions of approval are necessary. The minor exception does not permit uses which
are not otherwise allowed in the zone. The subject property is zoned SeNice
Commercial (SC), and professional office uses are permitted in the SetVice Commercial
zoning district. Consistent with the Development Code, the minor exception is simply
allowing for 42 parking spaces to be provided when 45 spaces are required. This
reduction in the number of required parking spaces only reduces the number of required
spaces by three spaces, where the full 15% deviation from the code requirement would
allow for a reduction of up to six spaces.
Section 3. Environmental Comoliance. In accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been deemed to be Categorically Exempt
from further environmental review (Section 15332, Class 32, In-fill Development Projects).
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA06-0140 a Development Plan to construct a 13,500 square foot,
two-story medical office building on .9 acres; and PA07-0055 a Minor Exception to reduce the
number of required parking spaces for this development plan by three spaces, located at 28975
Old Town Front Street, generally located on the west side of Old Town. Front Street, and,
approximately 1,900 feet south of Santiago Road, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth

Attention: Stuart Fisk
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re:
PA06-0140
The District does not normally recommend conditions for land divisions or other land use cases in
incorporated Cities. The District also does not plan check City land use cases, or provide State Division of
Real Estate letters or other flood hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such
cases are normally limited to items of specific interest to the District including District Master Drainage Plan
facilities, other regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or
extension of a master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation. fees). In
addition, information of a general natqre is provided.
. . . ..... .
The District has not reviewed the proposed project in dtlt3iland the following comments do not in any way
constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard,
public health and safety, or any other such issue:
The entire boundary of the property is within the 100 year Zone A floodplain limits for Murrieta Creek as
delineated.on Panel No. 060742-0010B dated September 2, 1993 of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued in
col\iunction with the National Flood Insurance Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). A District flood study in 1987 determined the base flood elevation for the master plan flow
rate of38,300 cfs to be 1000.63 (NGVD 29) at the location.
.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with the District and the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta are
working on the design of the Murrieta Creek Flood Control, Environmental Restoration and Recreation project
(Project), which has been Congressionally authorized. The proposed development is located within Phase I of
the Project, which is scheduled' to be constructed this year pending Federally alloCated funding. Questions
regarding the Project may be addressed to Zully Smith of our office at 951.955.1299. .
Until the proposed Project has been constructed, all new buildings should be floodproofed by elevating the
fmished.floor a minimum of12 inches above the District's floodplain elevation of 1000.63.
This"project is located within the limits of the District's Murrieta Creekffemecula Valley Area Drainage Plan
for which drainage fees have been adopted; applicable fees should be paid prior to the issuance of grading
permits. Fees to be paid should be at the rate in effect at the time of issuance of the actual permit.
Mr. Stuart Fisk.

Exceptional ARCHITECTURE
Ahmed Medical Office Building

My initial approach to this project was to provide a crisp, clean
architectural statement fitting a contemporary office building. I choose
simple forms, layering masses to gain visual affect. Experience brought to
mind classical forms; abstracted. n;ls allowed a sense of classic majesty
that was not dependent on heavy decoration to sustain its beauty.
The solution was a elegant style, aptly noted by Temecula's architectural
design consultant as" Modern... with slight Moorish influence". Further
statements commented the designs strengths; Balanced asymmetry;
layering of forms and an entry that hints of procession.
Design enhancements suggested by consultant review were helpful in
completing the "look". Siding elements at window "popouts" strongly
emphasize the horizontal. Horizontal balcony rails and window
"eyebrows. add excellent visual contrast, pulling together larger building
masses.
Working with the City, "Exceptional architecture" was achieved.

Special effort was taken in providing landscaping design for this project.
Three areas of special concentration were included. These areas add
amenities beyond those required by ordinance. First Is the public
walkway connection to the proposed recreation/bike.path to the rear of
the property. During working hours this allows for direct pedestrian access
from.old Front street to the flood channel open area.
Next, two outside lounge areas are provided. One is In front of the
building the other in the rear. Each includes hardscape paving, furniture
groupings and accent planters.
Finally we've included areas of high color planting. Seasonal flowers
accent the drive entry and main building entry.

The property is o.f reduced size due to partial acquisition by
Riverside County Flood Control. Lot size is .87 acre. The design
layout works well within the constraints of small lot development. All
development criteria were met except for required parking. The site
is 3 parking spaces short.. However there Is enough "off site"
parking to support 3 parking spaces.
This is a small, infill project. It was conceived to provide ground
floor medical space for 2 users,
One a MRI the other ambulatory patient services. The combined
square footage required for these users was more than could be
supported by site parking. The applicant worked hard to reduce
the footprint to areas considered" minimal" yet acceptable. Still,
parking fell 3 spaces short. Yet the space allotted to parking is
optimized. To add 3 additional spaces would require an additional
parking aisle. An additional aisle would require almost the entire
site area, leaving no leasable ground floor square footage,
In lieu of providing extra parking, the applicant agreed to provide
"exceptional architecture" and "exceptional landscaping",
