D. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment shall ensure the development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood; As identified within the City's General Plan Land Use Element, page LU -30, Old Town Temecula is a strong identification point for the City and the City desires to ensure that Old Town remains a focal point for social, cultural, civic, tourist and economic development activities. The Old Town Specific was originally adopted to support and complement the desirable character of Temecula's downtown and the Amended provisions of the Old Town Specific further support its downtown character. The City's General Plan Land Use Element states that the City will continue to implement the Old Town Specific Plan and will modify or amend it as needed to respond to development trends in the area (LU -40).

The General Plan Land Use Element specifically anticipates that parcels south of Santiago along Old Town Front Street would be zoned to allow for a mixed use overlay in place of its Service Commercial Zoning District. - As such, rezoning 2.4 acres of this area from Service Commercial Zoning as part of the Downtown Core Zoning District of the .Old Town Specific Plan conforms to the General Plan Land Use Element since the provisions of the proposed Downtown Core Zoning District of the Old Town Specific Plan encourage and promote development of mixed use projects. In addition, as part of this Project, the removal of 2.3 acres from the Specific Plan of territory located west of the Pujol Street/Sixth Street intersection is also consistent with the General Plan since the territory will retain its General Plan Land Use Designation of High Density Residential (H) and the parcels will be rezoned High Density Residential (H). This Zoning Amendment is also consistent with Development Code Section 17.02.020 "Consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Districts" matrix which provides guidelines for zoning consistency. The Zoning Map Amendment complies with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations of the General Plan and Development Code. B. The proposed Zone Change would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City; The provisions of the proposed Old Town Specific Plan that will regulate 2.4 acres being rezoned into the Old Town Specific Plan, as well as the provisions of Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code that will regulate 2.3 acres being rezoned as High Density Residential, will govern the development of the properties including site design, building height, setbacks, parking, circulation, and other associated site improvements and these provisions are intended to protect the health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project is consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed, and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. C. The subject property of the Zone Change is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments; The proposed zone change has been analyzed as physically suitable for the anticipated land uses and development projects that are permitted to occur for the subject properties. The 2.3 acres being rezoned as High Density Residential will allow for the same residential density (12 -20 units per acre) development potential as exists under its current zoning designation. Multifamily residential development is anticipated on this property by its existing High Density Residential zoning designation. While the topography of the 2.3 acres is rolling hills, the property is physically capable of accommodating multifamily with the appropriate site design and a variety of building types that would be able to be constructed on the site. In addition, its location would provide residences extraordinary views of Temecula. The 2.4 acres that is being rezoned from Service Commercial Zoning into the Old Town Specific Plan designated as Downtown Core is primarily vacant flat land currently used as a U -haul truck storage area. The property is located at the entrance of the Old Town Specific Plan area and is capable of development that could accommodate commercial or residential units with a variety of building types as permitted by the proposed Downtown Core Zoning Designation. The standards within each proposed zone for both areas being rezoned provides guidelines that are suitable for their anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed Zone Change shall ensure the development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood; The proposed zone change will remove 2.3 acres from the existing Old Town Specific Plan (SP -5) /High Density Residential Zoning Designation and rezone the parcels as City of Temecula Zoning Map /High Density Residential which provides substantially the same the land use development capability as contemplated by its current zoning and is compatible with existing and anticipated high density residential development in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed zone change will also integrate 2.4 acres into the Downtown Core Zoning District of the Old Town Specific Plan which will ensure that the character of future development is compatible with the area and the south entrance of the Old Town Specific Plan area.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment has been reviewed pursuant to the City's General Plan and all applicable State laws and has been found to be consistent with the policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that development within the Old Town Specific Plan area will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments; The subject area of the Old Town Specific Plan consists of approximately 153 acres. As outlined in the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan (page LU- 32), the purpose of Specific Plans is to provide a comprehensive planning document for large areas so that a coordinated planning approach is provided for all anticipated land use developments. As such, the entire project area has been reviewed based on existing structures and future build out potential and is physically suitable for the land use designations provided by the Amended Old Town Specific Plan. D. The proposed General Plan Amendment shall ensure the development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood; As identified within the City's General Plan Land Use Element, page LU -30, Old Town Temecula is a strong identification point for the City and the City desires to ensure that Old Town remains a focal point for social, cultural, civic, tourist and economic development activities. The Old Town Specific Plan was originally adopted to support and complement the desirable character of Temecula's downtown and the Amended provisions of the Old Town Specific further support its downtown character. The City's General Plan Land Use Element states that the City will continue to implement the Old Town Specific Plan and will modify or amend it as needed to respond to development trends in the area (LU -40). As such, the Amended Old Town Specific Plan provides guidelines that enhance the area economically, preserves its historic cultural and ensure the development of a desirable character compatible with existing and proposed development in Old Town and the surrounding neighborhood. Section 3. California Government Code Section 65358 provides the authority for the City Council to amend the City's General Plan. The City Council, after full consideration of the entirety of the City's General Plan hereby amends the Land Use Element and the Circulation Element of the General Plan as more fully described herein. Section 4. General Plan Amendment. A. The City Council hereby amends the City's General Plan Land Use Policy Map, as illustrated in Exhibit 1, to designate the Old Town Specific Plan area with a land use designation called "Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) ". This amendment hereby incorporates an additional 2.4 acres located south of First Street along the west side of Old Town Front Street into the Old Town Specific Plan and excludes 2.3 acres located west of the intersection of Sixth and Pujol from the Old Town Specific Plan. B. The City Council hereby amends Figure LU -4 (Specific Plan Areas) on page LU -28 of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, as illustrated in Exhibit 2, to align the boundaries of SP -5 (the Old Town Specific Plan) to reflect the amended boundary of the Old Town Specific Plan to incorporate an additional 2.4 acres located south of First Street along the west side of Old Town Front Street into the Old Town Specific Plan and excludes 2.3 acres located west of the intersection of Sixth and Pujol from the Old Town Specific Plan. C. The City Council hereby amends pages LU -14, LU -26 and LU -29 of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, as illustrated in Exhibit 3, to define the land use designation "Specific Plan Implementation (SPI)" and describe that properties within the land use designation Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) are regulated by the provisions of the Specific Plan. D. The City Council hereby amends pages C -19, C -30 and C -36 of the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, as illustrated in Exhibit 4, to add a provision allowing for intersection level of service to be as identified in a Specific Plan.

A SPECIFIC PLANS Many areas within the City and Planning Area are subject to the plans, policies and implementation measures of currently adopted or U anticipated future Specific Plans. The. purpose of Specific Plans is to provide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent. with the S General Plan. A Specific Plan area designation is used to identify 25 such areas within the Temecula Planning Area, which because of size E location, and/or special development opportunities require a coordinated and comprehensive . planning approach (see Figure LU- 4), In identified Specific Plan areas of 100 or more acres, approval of a Specific Plan is required prior to approval of any discretionary land use entitlement or issuance of any building or grading permit. In some areas., Village Center Plans, which allow greater intensities, can also be used. Planned development overlays can be used for smaller areas. Specific Plans must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 65451 of the California Government Code and the City's Development Code, which contains some additional requirements. tailored to meet local needs and conditions._ Designated areas will require detailed plans indicating• land uses, circulation, major infrastructure and facilities, open space and parks, and appropriate implementation measures. All Specific Plans will be evaluated for consistency with the goals, policies, plans and programs of the. General Plan. Approved Specific Plan Areas - As shown in Table LU4, a total of 23 Specific Plans have been approved within the planning area as of May, 2003.

Right turn lanes will typically require some additional right-of-way on one side (the entering side of the intersection). The additional right -of: way shall be a minimum of six feet (10 feet is preferable), and shall extend, for at least 250 feet back from the intersection curb face. C PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Evaluating the ability of the circulation system to serve Temecula's L residents and businesses requires establishing suitable .performance criteria. Performance criteria have a policy component that establishes a desired level of service (LOS) and a technical T component that specifies how traffic forecast data can be used to measure criteria achievement. The performance criteria used for evaluating volumes and capacities ! on the City street system are based on. peak hour intersection data, 0' since intersections are the primary limiting factor affecting traffic flow on City roadways. Performance criteria for freeway ramps accessing I -15 are based on V/C ratios for each ramp. The performance standards are summarized in Table G4: TABLE C -4 CIRCULATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Peak" Hour Intersection Criteria " Intersection capacity utilization (ICU) not to exceed 0.90 (LOS D) Saturation flow rate 1,750 vehicles per hour per lane Clearance interval 0.10 ICU Peak Hour Freeway Ramp Criteria Volume- to-capacity (V /C) ratio not to exceed 1.00 (LOS E) .

R GOALS AND POLICIES ROADWAY Roadway - congestion. is a, major concern . to local residents and L CIRCULAT[ON businesses. The City responds to local concerns regarding roadway congestion. through the. identification of acceptable performance standards for City roadways and intersections, as well as access. points -r to regional highways, such as I -15. Except as .otherwis'e provided in a 1 I specific _plan_, The stated performance standard serves as the foundation for providing a street network that moves people and goods safely and efficiently throughout the City while ensuring that traffic delays are kept to a minimum: N Goal 1 Strive. to maintain a Level of Service "D" or better at intersections within the City during peak hours and Level of Service "C" or better during non peak.hours. Policy 1.1 Use the Circulation Element Roadway. Plan to guide detailed planning and implementation of the City's roadwaysystem, including appropriate road width and median transitions when a roadway classification changes. Policy 1.2 Pursue trip reduction and transportation systems management measures to reduce and_ limit congestion at intersections and along streets within the City. Policy 1.3 Actively monitor the capacity of principal intersections throughout the City. - Policy 1.4. When Principal Intersections exceed LOS "D" during peak . hours, or LOS "C" during off =peak hours, consider elevating the priority of CIP projects that reduce traffic congestion in these areas.

Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. On February 9, 1994, the City Council of the City of Temecula approved the Old Town Specific Plan and on February 22, 1994 the City Council of the City of Temecula adopted the Old Town Specific Plan. B. Various amendments to the Old Town Specific Plan were adopted by the City Council of the City of Temecula since February 22, 1994. C. The proposed amendment to the Old Town Specific Plan is a comprehensive amendment to replace all sections of the Old Town Specific Plan with new and updated information. In addition, an amendment to the City's Zoning Map, General Plan Land Use Policy Map and Specific Plan Area Map modifies the boundary of the Old Town Specific Plan to incorporate an additional 2.4 acres into the Old Town Specific Plan located south of First Street along the west side of Old Town Front Street and excludes 2.3 acres from the Old Town Specific Plan located west of the intersection of Sixth Street and Pujol Street. An amendment to the General Plan Land Use Policy Map includes a new land use designation of "Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) applied to all properties within the Old Town Specific Plan area. An amendment to the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan defines the land use designation Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) to ensure properties within the land use designation Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) are regulated by the provisions of the Specific Plan. An amendment to the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan adds a provision allowing for intersection level of service as identified in a Specific Plan. ( "Project "). D. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the California Environmental Quality Act. E. A Draft Environmental Impact Report ( "EIR ") was prepared for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ( "CEQA ") and circulated for public review from March 1, 2010 through April 14, 2010 for a 45 -day public review. Copies of the documents have been available for public review and inspection at the offices of the Department of Planning, located at City Hall 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California 92590. J F. The Old Town Local Review Board, at a regular meeting, considered the Project on April 12, 2010 at which time the public and the Old Town Local Review Board provided comments to staff and recommended approval of the Project. G. On April 21, 2010, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, the Planning Commission considered the Project and any comments received prior to or at the public hearing on April 21, 2010, at which time the City staff presented its report, and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to the Project and the draft Environmental Impact Report. H. Following consideration of the entire record before it at the public hearing and due consideration of the proposed Project the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council certify the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Project, adopt Findings pursuant to CEQA, adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project. I. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the entire record before the Planning Commission hearing, and after due consideration of the testimony regarding the proposed Project, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Project including the Old Town Specific Plan Amendment, General Plan Amendment and Title 17 Zoning Map Amendment. J. On , the City Council of the City of Temecula considered the Project and the Environmental Impact Report, at a duly noticed public hearing at which time all interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter. After considering all the testimony and any comments received regarding the Project and the Environmental Impact Report prior to and at the 2010 public hearing, and based on the entire record concerning all components of the Project and the draft Environmental Impact Report, the Council approved the Project and certified the Environmental Impact Report, and adopted Findings pursuant to CEQA, adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Section 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council in approving the Zone Change hereby finds, determines and declares that: A: The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code; The proposed Zoning Map Amendment conforms to the City of Temecula General Plan. The General Plan Land Use Element specifically anticipates that parcels south of Santiago along Old Town Front Street would be zoned to allow for a mixed use overlay in place of its Service Commercial Zoning District. As such, rezoning 2.4 acres of this area from Service Commercial Zoning as part of the Downtown Core Zoning District of the Old Town Specific Plan conforms to the General Plan Land Use Element since the provisions of the proposed Downtown Core Zoning District of the Old Town Specific Plan encourage and promote development of mixed use projects. In addition, as part of this Project, the removal of 2.3 acres from the Specific Plan of territory located west of the Pujol StreeVSixth Street intersection is also consistent with the General Plan since the territory will retain its General Plan Land Use Designation of High Density Residential (H) and the parcels will be rezoned High Density Residential (H). This Zoning Amendment is also consistent with Development Code Section 17.02.020 "Consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Districts" matrix which provides guidelines for zoning consistency. The Zoning Map Amendment complies with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations of the General Plan and Development Code. B. The proposed Zone Change would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City; The provisions of the proposed Old Town Specific Plan that will regulate 2.4 acres being rezoned into the Old Town Specific Plan, as well as the provisions of Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code that will regulate 2.3 acres being rezoned as High Density Residential, will govern the development of the properties including site design, building height, setbacks, parking, circulation, and other associated site improvements and these provisions are intended to protect the health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project is consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed, and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. C. The subject property of the Zone Change is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments; The proposed zone change has been analyzed as physically suitable for the anticipated land uses and development projects that are permitted to occur for the subject properties. The 2.3 acres being rezoned as High Density Residential will allow for the same residential density (12 -20 units per acre) development potential as exists under its current zoning designation. Multifamily residential development is anticipated on this property by its existing High Density Residential zoning designation. While the topography of the 2.3 acres is rolling hills, the property is physically capable of accommodating multifamily with the appropriate site design and a variety of building types that would be able to be constructed on the site. In addition, its location would provide residences extraordinary views of Temecula. The 2.4 acres that is being rezoned from Service Commercial Zoning into the Old Town Specific Plan designated as Downtown Core is primarily vacant flat land currently used as a U -haul truck storage area. The property is located at the entrance of the Old Town Specific Plan area and is capable of development that could accommodate commercial or residential units with a variety of building types as permitted by the proposed Downtown Core Zoning Designation. The standards within each proposed zone for both areas being rezoned provides guidelines that are suitable for their anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed Zone Change shall ensure the development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood; The proposed zone change will remove 2.3 acres from the existing Old Town Specific Plan (SP -5) /High Density Residential Zoning Designation and rezone the parcels as City of Temecula Zoning Map /High Density Residential which provides substantially the same the land use development capability as contemplated by its current zoning and is compatible with existing and anticipated high density residential development in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed zone change will also integrate 2.4 acres into the Downtown Core Zoning District of the Old Town Specific Plan which will ensure that the character of future development is compatible with the area and the south entrance of the Old Town Specific Plan area. Section 3. The City Council hereby amends the City's Zoning Map, as illustrated in Exhibit 1, to modify the boundaries of SP -5 (Old Town Specific Plan) to incorporate an additional 2.4 acres located south of First Street along the west side of Old Town Front Street into the Old Town Specific Plan to be zoned SP -5 (Old Town Specific Plan) and exclude 2.3 acres located west of the intersection of Sixth and Pujol from the Old Town Specific Plan to be zoned as High Density Residential (H). Section 4. Severability. If any portion, provision, section, paragraph, sentence, or word of this Ordinance is rendered or declared to be invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining portions, provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences, and words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect and shall be interpreted by the court so as to give effect to such remaining portions of the Ordinance. Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption. Section 6. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause it to be published in the manner required by law.
