BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On June 6, 2007, the Planning Commission approved a Development Plan for a three-story,
14,093 square foot office building with a 7,369 square foot underground parking structure on
0.53 acres located at 27423 Ynez Road, and Planning Application No. PA07-0049, a Minor
Exception to allow for a 15 percent building height increase from 50' to 574".
The applicant filled a Minor Modification on June 26, 2008. A DRC meeting was held on July 24,
2008 to discuss the proposed parking, FAR, and building height changes. The applicant
resubmitted revised plans on September 18, 2008. 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
The Minor Modification proposes to eliminate the 7,369 square foot underground parking
structure from the approved James Webb office building. As a result, the building height and
square footage have been reduced.
The maximum building height allowed in the Community Commercial (CC) zone is 50 feet. A
building height of 574" was originally approved to accommodate functional access from the
parking garage to the roof. The project proposes a 5'3" building height reduction from the
original approval. By eliminating the underground parking structure, the building height has
been reduced to 521" on the west side and 44'6" on the east side along Ynez Road. The 521"
stair tower compromises 8.5 percent of the building footprint and is located on the northwest
corner of the building concealed from the street view.
The building has also been reconfigured reducing the total approved building area from 26,941
square feet to 23,084 square feet (a reduction of 3,859 square feet). However, the originally
approved 0.61 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) did not change. Reconfiguration of the interior floor
space kept the FAR equal to the original approval. The "green" building concept and all
sustainable components of the building provided to justify the FAR increase remain incorporated
in the project.
The project as designed conforms to all the development regulations listed in the City's
Development Code, including building setbacks and lot coverage. 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).
The building's FAR and height are still in excess of the Development Code requirements, but a
Minor Exception (PA07-0049) was approved to allow for the increases.
Architecture
The project is not proposing any architectural changes. The office building will remain a modern
style and all colors and materials will be the same as originally proposed..

Landscaoino
The landscape plan exceeds the landscape requirements of the Development Code and
Citywide Design Guidelines. Tree and shrub placement will serve to effectively screen onsite
parking areas and effectively soften the building elevations. The project includes 7,300 square
feet of landscaping (32%), which exceeds the 20 percent minimum required by the
Development Code. The landscaping area has increased five percent from the approved 27
percent coverage. Additional landscaping area was gained on the west side of the office
building adjacent to the parking lot.
Access/Circulation
The project site is located in the northeastern corner of the Tower Plaza commercial center.
Vehicle access will remain from an ingress/egress driveway located off of Ynez Road. This
vehicular entryway is a main entry point for the commercial center.
The parking lot has been reconfigured from the original approval. The proposed modification
will provide 10 parking spaces instead of 18 parking spaces. Parking for the project is required
at one space for every 300 square feet of floor area. The building requires 47 parking spaces.
The project proposes a total of 10 parking spaces. The remaining 37 parking spaces required
will be met through existing reciprocal parking spaces available within the Tower Plaza
commercial center. A parking study was conducted for the project to analyze the parking
availability for the entire center. The parking study determined there is adequate parking within
the center to support the office building. The existing Tower Plaza provides 1,508 parking
spaces. The Development Code requires 1,342 with the addition of the project. Based on the
analysis provided in the parking study, staff believes the existing commercial parking adequately
meets the needs of the project and the center.
The parking lot provides adequate circulation for vehicles anticipated to utilize the site, as well
as for 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. The Public
Works Department has reviewed the site plan and has determined that the project, as
conditioned, provides adequate circulation and access.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on December 6, 2008, and mailed
to the property owners within the required 700-foot radius.
FINDINGS
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 General Plan land use designation, and with the standards
and requirements for the Community. Commercial zoning district. The proposed office use is
permitted in the land use designation standards contained in the General Plan and
Development Code. The site is properly planned and zoned, and as conditioned, is physically
suitable for the type of development proposed. The proposed project, as conditioned, is
consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local Ordinances, including the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and all applicable Fire and Building Codes.

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 site layout for the project has been reviewed
utilizing the Citywide Design Guidelines and development standards for commercial office
buildings. The proposed project meets the standards for circulation, site plan design, and
landscaping. The project has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies,
guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be
