BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The Development Plan for the construction of the Creekside Centre shopping center was
approved by the Planning Commission on March 30, 2005. The approval of this project
included two in -line retail buildings totaling 26,470 square feet. The approval also anticipated
the future construction of 10,000 square feet of restaurant space to be constructed on two
vacant pads within the shopping center. Ruby Tuesday Restaurant is currently under
construction on one of the previously anticipated restaurant pads. The proposed 4,862 square
foot Panera Bread Restaurant and Bakery is proposed to be constructed on the remaining
undeveloped pad that was contemplated by the original approval for Creekside Centre.
The Planning Application for Panera Bread Restaurant and Bakery was submitted on June 6,
2008. Staff completed the review of this application and held a Development Review
Committee (DRC) meeting on July 3, 2008. A DRC letter summarizing staff's comments was
sent out on July 8, 2008. Staff's comments included a discussion of general Site Plan
corrections, architectural recommendations and parking. It was determined that a Minor
Exception application would need to be submitted in order for the development to meet the
Development Code's parking requirements. The Minor Exception application was submitted on
September 25, 2008 and reviewed by staff for consistency with the Development Code
requirements.
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
Site Plan
Two in -line retail buildings currently exist on the southernmost portion of the site and house a
variety of retail uses and a restaurant use. The previously approved 5,660 square foot Ruby
Tuesday restaurant, which is proposed to be located on the pad adjacent to the proposed
Panera Bread Restaurant, is currently under construction. The 4,862 square foot Panera Bread
Restaurant is situated catty -corner to Ruby Tuesday restaurant within Creekside Centre, and is
adjacent to Overland Center shopping center which is located to the west of the project site.
The proposed restaurant will be constructed on the northernmost portion of the site and will be
clearly visible to pedestrian and vehicular traffic from Overland Drive due to the raised elevation
of the entire Creekside Centre site.
The building is proposed to be setback from Overland Drive by approximately 25 feet. The
visibility of the project from Nicole Lane will be slightly obstructed once Ruby Tuesday is
completed. The proposed project meets all setback requirements for buildings constructed in
the Community Commercial zoning district. Furthermore, the addition of Panera Bread to the
Creekside Centre shopping center will not cause the Floor Area Ratio to exceed the target of
0.30 for the zone. The Floor Area Ratio including the existing retail uses, existing restaurant
uses and Panera Bread is 0.17.
G:\PLANNING\2008\PA08-0128 Panera Bread DP\Planning\DH STAFF REPORT.doc

Access/Circulation
Vehicular access to the proposed project will be taken from an existing 44-foot wide drive aisle
from Nicole Lane. A reciprocal access easement has been recorded which ensures that the
parking area will be shared between all of the tenants in the shopping center. At the time the
original Development Plan for Creekside Centre was approved, the Fire Department determined
that the on -site circulation and site layout is adequate for emergency apparatus and Fire
Department vehicles. The Fire Department has provided Conditions of Approval for the Panera
Bread development plan to ensure that all life safety requirements will continue to be met.
Parking/Minor Exception
Currently there are 178 standard parking spaces and five motorcycle spaces provided on -site.
The five motorcycle spaces equate to two parking credits, bringing the total number of parking
spaces provided to 180 spaces total. According to Development Code Section 17.24.040, when
a restaurant is part of a shopping center, the Development Code allows for the first 15% of
restaurant space within the shopping center to be calculated at one space/300 square feet of
gross floor area; and any restaurant space that exceeds the first 15% is then parked at the ratio
of one space/100 square feet of gross floor area. The Development Code parking requirements
for a shopping center differs from that of a stand alone restaurant because it is anticipated that
there would be shared parking opportunities at varied times during the day due to the mix of
retail and restaurant uses that exists within the shopping center. The parking requirements
calculated for the project site are as follows:
Existing Retail Building A: 13,235 square feet/300 = 44 spaces
Existing Retail Building B: 9,185 square feet/300 = 31 spaces
Existing Frankie's Restaurant: 4,050 square feet = 41 spaces
Existing Ruby Tuesday Restaurant: 5,660 square feet total
5,548 square feet/300 = 18 spaces
(Restaurant space occupying less than 15% of the total shopping center area).
111 square feet/100 = 1 space
(Restaurant space occupying greater than 15% of the total shopping center area).
Proposed Panera Bread Restaurant: 4,862 square feet/100 = 48 spaces
Total = 184 spaces required.
According to the calculations above, 184 parking spaces are required to accommodate the
proposed Panera Bread Restaurant in addition to all of the existing uses within Creekside
Centre; however 180 parking spaces are being provided on the site. The applicant has filed
PA08-0222, a Minor Exception application to request a 15% deviation from the Development
Code's parking requirements. A 15% deviation from the required number of parking spaces
would decrease the number of required parking spaces from 184 spaces to 157 spaces. The
applicant, however, is requesting to deviate from the code requirements by four parking spaces.
This request is significantly, less than the 15% deviation allowed by code. Due to the mix of
uses and the differing peak hours of operation between all of the uses within the shopping
GAPLANNING\2008\PA08-0128 Panera Bread DP\Planning\DH STAFF REPORT.doc
3
center, the impact of the Minor Exception is considered to be negligible. The purpose and intent
of a Minor Exception is to allow for deviations from the Development Code requirements when
the deviation from the code is minor in nature, and will not adversely impact the safety of the
public or adjacent properties. It has been determined that a decrease in the required parking
spaces by four spaces will not adversely affect the public safety or adjacent properties.
Architecture
Staff has worked closely with the applicant to ensure architectural compatibility between the
existing structures on -site, the future Ruby Tuesday Restaurant, and the proposed Panera
Bread Restaurant. The proposed structure will utilize a paint color palette and building materials
that compliment the existing retail buildings and future Ruby Tuesday restaurant. The main
body of the building is proposed to be constructed of a cement plaster material in a neutral sand
tone. The base of the building is proposed to be painted a complimentary color. The base of
the building is enhanced through changes in color and materials. The building is accented with
changes in paint color, along with the use of a cultured stone veneer material, which is used to
accentuate the building's columns and wall plane variations. The building articulation and tower
elements are accented with a deep merlot and pine green paint color palette. The merlot and
green accent colors coordinate with the canvas awnings that currently exist on the adjacent
retail buildings and Frankie's Restaurant. The west elevation is accented with three vertical
trellis treatments. Climbing vines are proposed to be planted on the vertical trellis treatments to
soften the west elevation which will be visible from Nicole Lane. Steel canopy structures, with
standing seam metal roof elements highlight the building entry and effectively provide horizontal
elements to the building facade. A standing seam metal hipped roof, in a weathered Aegean
copper color, is proposed on the two tower elements. The window openings are accented with
decorative canvas awnings and down -lit with gooseneck lighting. The decorative exterior light
fixtures that are proposed at the buildings entrance coordinate with the existing decorative light
fixtures utilized on the existing retail buildings.
Landscaping
The applicant proposes to plant 9,495 square feet of landscaping for Panera Bread. The
proposed landscaping for Panera Bread combined with the existing landscaping on -site totals
64,224 square feet, or 28% of the site, which will be landscaped upon project completion. The
28% includes the existing landscape area in the shopping center, the landscaping to be installed
for Ruby Tuesday and the landscaping proposed to be installed for Panera Bread. According to
the Development Code, 20% of the project site is required to be landscaped. The proposed
project exceeds the minimum 20% landscape requirement for the Community Commercial zone.
Staff has ensured that the proposed landscape plantings for Panera Bread are consistent with
the landscape plantings that exist in Creekside Centre shopping center, and with the
landscaping to be installed for the future Ruby Tuesday restaurant. A mix of trees, shrubs and
groundcover will be installed along the perimeter of the building to effectively soften the
elevations and enhance the architecture of the building. The proposed trees include Blue Palo
Verdes, Little Gem Magnolia and Pink Melaluecas. The shrubs include a mix of Red Cluster
Berry, Evergreen Day Lilies, and Texas Privet.
An enhanced outdoor pedestrian area was approved as a part of the Development Plan for the
neighboring Ruby Tuesday restaurant. This area will be enhanced with landscape plantings,
decorative paving, an enhanced water feature, benches and a trellis shade structure. The
hardscape improvements adjacent to the proposed Panera Bread Restaurant will complete the
G:\PLANNING\2008\PA08-0128 Panera Bread DP\Planning\DH STAFF REPORT.doc

enhanced pedestrian area that is shared by the two restaurants. Once completed, this area is
anticipated to provide a pleasant seating area for patrons waiting to be seated at either
restaurant.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on October 11, 2008 and mailed to
the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
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 Project),
Class 32 consists of projects characterized by in -fill development meeting the following
conditions:
The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable
General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The proposed Development Plan to construct a 4,862 square foot restaurant facility is
consistent with the applicable General Plan Designation of Community Commercial. According
to the General Plan, the Community Commercial Land Use Designation includes retail and
service oriented business activities serving the entire community. Typical uses that are
considered to be characteristic of the Community Commercial zone include restaurant uses.
The proposal to construct a restaurant use within the Community Commercial Land Use
Designation is consistent with the anticipated land uses outlined in the General Plan for this
area of the City. The City's Development Code acts as the primary land development tool for
guiding development to implement the goals and polices of the General Plan. The project
meets all applicable requirements for projects in the Community Commercial zoning district is
also consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
The proposed development occurs within City limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed project occurs within the boundaries of the City of Temecula. The project is
proposed to be constructed on a vacant restaurant pad within an existing shopping center. On
December 7, 2006 Tentative Parcel Map No. 34387 subdivided the 6.27 acre parcel into three
lots. Panera Bread is currently proposed to be constructed on Lot 2 of TPM 34387, which is 1.5
net acres. The project site, therefore, is less than five acres. Additionally, the proposed project
is surrounded by urban uses and substantial development. The shopping center in which
Panera Bread is to be constructed includes two in -line retail buildings, as well as a freestanding
restaurant which is located adjacent to the Panera Bread project site. Additionally, the shopping
center is surrounded by a number of other previously developed retail, office and industrial
uses, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the project.

The proposed project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species
The proposed project site has no value for habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.
The 1.5 acre site on which Panera Bread is proposed to be constructed has been previously
graded and is surrounded by substantially developed commercial uses. Panera Bread is
proposed to be constructed on a vacant pad within an existing shopping center. The existing
shopping center is disturbed and currently has two in -line retail buildings, which house a variety
of retail uses and a restaurant. These retail buildings and uses currently exist adjacent to the
Panera Bread site. Additionally, another restaurant use is currently under construction
immediately east of the Panera Bread site. Due to the disturbed nature of the site, and
considering the earthmoving and construction activities that are taking place immediately to the
east of the project site, it can be concluded that the subject site is not suitable for habitat that
may otherwise support rare, endangered or threatened species.
Approval of this project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality or water quality.
The approval of this project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality or water quality. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and
Development Code requirements. The City of Temecula General Plan Environmental Impact
Report previously analyzed the traffic, noise, air quality and water quality impacts of
development that was anticipated to occur within the City limits. The proposed project is below
the target Floor Area Ratio of 0.30 for the zone. The proposed Floor Area Ratio for the project
is 0.17. Therefore, it can be concluded that the traffic and air quality impacts are less than
those that were previously anticipated and analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan
EIR assumed 0.30 as the target intensity for the Community Commercial zone. The proposed
project is also required to comply with all municipal code requirements related to noise as
project construction occurs. Since the project will comply with General Plan noise thresholds
and with the municipal code requirements no significant noise effects are anticipated as a result
of this project. No adverse water quality impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. A
Water Quality Management Plan has been reviewed and accepted by the Department of Public
Works. The Water Quality Management Plan will ensure compliance with National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements and will implement best management
practices (BMP's) to protect water quality. Therefore, no significant water quality impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project site can be adequately serviced by all required utilities and public services. The
project is surrounded by substantially developed uses which are all currently adequately served
by the required utilities and public services. Water service is currently available to the site, but
is subject to any additions or modifications that need to be made to the existing infrastructure in
order to adequately serve the project.

Minor Exception — Development Code Section 17.03.060
That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict application of the
code due to the physical characteristics of the property.
There are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict application of the code
due to the physical characteristics of the property. The existing shopping center currently has
180 parking spaces available to accommodate the uses. The Development Code requires 184
parking spaces. The constraints of the existing development on the property, combined with the
sensitivity of the existing creek channel, which is located on the westerly portion of the site,
make it difficult to add four additional standard sized parking spaces to meet Development Code
requirements.
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 to decrease the number of required parking spaces from 184 spaces to
180 spaces does not grant special privileges which are not otherwise available to the
surrounding properties. The Development Code allows for a 15% deviation from code
requirements, and equally applies the ability to deviate from code requirements for any property
G:\PLANNING\2008\PA08-0128 Panera Bread DP\Planning\DH STAFF REPORT.doc
7
for which the findings can be made. The request to decrease the number of required parking
spaces from 184 spaces to 180 spaces will not be detrimental to the public welfare, or to the
property of persons located in the vicinity. Due to the small decrease in parking spaces from
the code requirements, along with the mix of uses and the differing peak hours of operation
between all of the uses within the shopping center, the impact of Minor Exception is not
anticipated to be significant. The Development Code indicates that the purpose and intent of a
Minor Exception is to allow for deviations from the Development Code requirements when the
deviation from the code is minor in nature, which is the case. The decrease in the required
parking spaces by four spaces will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property, or to
persons located in the vicinity.
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.
The Minor Exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect the surrounding
properties. The project has been reviewed by the Planning Department and conditioned to
ensure compliance with all municipal and development code requirements. The approval of the
Minor Exception does not change the uses which are allowed in the Community Commercial
zone and do not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the Community Commercial
zone. The project proposes to construct a restaurant in compliance with all zoning and
development requirements for projects in the community commercial zone, but allows for a
decrease in the number of required parking spaces by 4 spaces.

A. That there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by
strict application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property;
There are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships created by strict
application of the code due to the physical characteristics of the property. The
existing shopping center currently has 180 parking spaces available to
accommodate the uses. The Development Code requires 184 parking spaces.
The constraints of the existing development on the property, combined with the
sensitivity of the existing creek channel, which is located on the westerly portion
of the site, make it difficult to add four additional standard sized parking spaces
to meet Development Code requirements.
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 to decrease the number of required parking spaces from
184 spaces to 180 spaces does not grant special privileges which are not
otherwise available to the surrounding properties. The Development Code
allows for a 15% deviation from code requirements, and equally applies the
ability to deviate from code requirements for any property for which the findings
can be made. The request to decrease the number of required parking spaces
from 184 spaces to 180 spaces will not be detrimental to the public welfare, or to
the property of persons located in the vicinity. Due to the small decrease in
parking spaces from the code requirements, along with the mix of uses and the
differing peak hours of operation between all of the uses within the shopping
center, the impact of Minor Exception is not anticipated to be significant. The
Development Code indicates that the purpose and intent of a Minor Exception is
to allow for deviations from the Development Code requirements when the
deviation from the code is minor in nature, which is the case. The decrease in
the required parking spaces by four spaces will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or property, or to persons located in the vicinity.
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.
The Minor Exception places suitable conditions on the property to protect the
surrounding properties. The project has been reviewed by the Planning
Department and conditioned to ensure compliance with all municipal and
Development Code requirements. The approval of the Minor Exception does not
change the uses which are allowed in the Community Commercial zone and do
not permit uses which are not otherwise allowed in the Community Commercial
zone. The project proposes to construct a restaurant in compliance with all
zoning and development requirements for projects in the community commercial
zone, but allows for a decrease in the number of required parking spaces by four
spaces.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Director, of Planning hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Development Plan Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(CEQA Section 15332, Class 32, In -fill Development);
Class 32 consists of projects characterized by in -fill development meeting the following
conditions:
1. The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and
all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning
designation and regulations.
The proposed Development Plan to construct a 4,862 square foot
restaurant facility is consistent with the applicable General Plan
Designation of Community Commercial. According to the General Plan,
the Community Commercial Land Use Designation includes retail and
service oriented business activities serving the entire community. Typical
uses that are considered to be characteristic of the Community
Commercial zone include restaurant uses. The proposal to construct a
restaurant use within the Community Commercial Land Use Designation is
consistent with the anticipated land uses outlined in the General Plan for
this area of the City. The City's Development Code acts as the primary
land development tool for guiding development to implement the goals
and polices of the General Plan. The project meets all applicable
requirements for projects in the Community Commercial zoning district
and is also consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
2. The proposed development occurs within City limits on a project site of no
more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed project occurs within the boundaries of the City of
Temecula. The project is proposed to be constructed on a vacant
restaurant pad within an existing shopping center. On December 7, 2006
Tentative Parcel Map No. 34387 subdivided the 6.27 acre parcel into three
lots. Panera Bread is currently proposed to be constructed on Lot 2 of
TPM 34387, which is 1.5 net acres. The project site, therefore, is less
than five acres. Additionally, the proposed project is surrounded by urban
uses and substantial development. The shopping center in which Panera
Bread is to be constructed includes two in -line retail buildings, as well as a
freestanding restaurant which is located adjacent to the Panera Bread
project site. Additionally, the shopping center is surrounded by a number
of other previously developed retail, office and industrial uses, which are
located in the immediate vicinity of the project.
3. The proposed project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or
threatened species.
The proposed project site has no value for habitat for endangered, rare, or
threatened species. The 1.5 acre site on which Panera Bread is proposed
to be constructed has been previously graded and is surrounded by
substantially developed commercial uses. Panera Bread is proposed to be
constructed on a vacant pad within an existing shopping center. The
existing shopping center is disturbed and currently has two in -line retail
buildings, which house a variety of retail uses and a restaurant. These
retail buildings and uses currently exist adjacent to the Panrea Bread site.
Additionally, another restaurant use is currently under construction
immediately east of the Panera Bread site. Due to the disturbed nature of
the site, and considering the earthmoving and construction activities that
are taking place immediately to the east of the project site, it can be
concluded that the subject site is not suitable for habitat that may
otherwise support rare, endangered or threatened species.
4. Approval of this project would not result in any significant effects relating
to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
The approval of this project would not result in any significant effects
relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The proposed project
is consistent with the City's General Plan and Development Code
requirements. The City of Temecula General Plan Environmental Impact
Report previously analyzed the traffic, noise, air quality and water quality
impacts of development that was anticipated to occur within the City limits.
The proposed project is below the target Floor Area Ratio of 0.30 for the
zone. The proposed Floor Area Ratio for the project is 0.17. Therefore, it
can be concluded that the traffic and air quality impacts are less than
those that were previously anticipated and analyzed in the General Plan
EIR. The General Plan EIR assumed 0.30 as the target intensity for the
Community Commercial zone. The proposed project is also required to
comply with all municipal code requirements related to noise as project
construction occurs. Since the project will comply with General Plan noise
thresholds and with the municipal code requirements no significant noise
effects are anticipated as a result of this project. No adverse water quality
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. A Water Quality
Management Plan has been reviewed and accepted by the Department of
Public Works. The Water Quality Management Plan will ensure
compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements and will implement best management practices
(BMP's) to protect water quality. Therefore, no significant water quality
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
5. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
The project site can be adequately serviced by all required utilities and
public services. The project is surrounded by substantially developed uses
which are all currently adequately served by the required utilities and
public services. Water service is currently available to the site, but is
subject to any additions or modifications that need to be made to the
existing infrastructure in order to adequately serve the project.
Section 4. Conditions. The Director of Planning of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA08-0128, a Commercial Development Plan, and
PA08-0222 subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto,
and incorporated herein by this reference.

and/or where such `common' facilities may be owned and maintained by a
Property Owners Association (proposed now or in the future). Please note that
separate water meters will be required for all landscape irrigation.

rights, if any, to RCWD. In addition, property owner(s) may be required to
sign an acknowledgement of low water service pressure when service
arrangements are made or modified.

water facilities configuration. If new facilities are required for service, fire
protection, or other purposes, the project proponent should contact RCWD for
an assessment of project -specific fees and requirements.
