3. Development Code Work Program
Senior Planner John Meyer presented the staff report. He told the Council and the
Commission an advisory committee has been meeting to work on the development
codes and they are satisfied with the organization and contents of the draft code.
Mr. Meyer said staff expects some issues to arise in the future regarding the County
(msc) manufacturing service commercial zones. He said staff plans on holding
several industrial area neighborhood meetings and advised that staff has held one
such meeting and it became apparent there may be some resistance to elimination of
the MSC district. Mr. Meyer explained to the Council the Business Park land use
designation is the city's industrial and manufacturing land use designation which will
be split into two districts: the Business Park district and the Light Industrial district.
Councilmember Birdsall asked what will happen to those businesses that no longer fit
in the Business Park zone.
John Meyer explained there will legal non-conforming uses allowed within the
district. He said after meeting with the property owners along Felix Valdez, which
has been designated as an office professional district through the General Plan, it
became apparent these property owners are not happy with the new designation and
staff has agreed to re-evaluate the land use designation on their behalf. He said they
expressed a desire to see no limitations to a single designation and they did not want
to be designated office professional.
Councilmember Munoz asked, should the Council and Commission agreed to allowing
the legal non-conforming uses, what length of time would be allowed before there
was conformance with all designations of the districts.
Mr. Meyer said the bulk would occur in approximately 3 to 5 years.
Chairman Ford asked if a existing business could expand under the non-conforming
use policy.
John Meyer explained the decision of the committee was a business could continue
to operate and/or sell the business and continue to operate under the non-conforming
use policy however, it could not expand or rebuild under the policy.

Councilmember Munoz said he feels conforming uses should be achieved through
natural attrition.
City Attorney Scott Field explained there are a range of non-conforming use
ordinances from the strict to the very lenient.
Planning Director Gary Thornhill said the goal is to eliminate retail/commercial uses.
He said staff can group the uses and if a use does not fit into the broad category
then it would be a legal non-conforming use.
The overall consensus of the Council and the Commission was to direct staff as
follows:
2.
3.
4.
The goal is to eliminate, to the greatest extent possible, non-conforming uses.
Non-conforming uses are to eliminated generally through normal attrition.
That the test for any replacements shall be "Is it an in-kind replacement".
That the building permit will be used as a triggering mechanism for
investigating if a non-conforming use is attempting to re-establish in the zone.
To move forward with a process of narrowing the zone districts and not fall
back to the MSC designation.
Chairman Roberts declared a recess at 8:30 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:40 P.M.

would share equally with the City of Temecula.
