The application is a Minor Conditional Use Permit intended to allow the River Springs Charter School to operate within two existing 38,654 square foot buildings within the- Paloma Del Sol Specific Plan. The charter school will be comprised of grades K through 12. The River Springs Charter School will operate differently than a traditional public school in that students will not be required to be on campus Monday through.Friday. Students will typically instead be on campus twice a week. Furthermore, students will be broken up by grade and program. This will ensure that the entire student body is not on campus at the same time. The applicant made a good faith effort to inform the adjacent Paloma Del Sol Home Owners Association of the proposed project. This was done by making two presentations to the Board of Directors of the HOA. The first was held on December 17, 2009 and second was on January 21, 2010. The applicant indicated that the HOA was thankful for being informed about the project. No external modifications to the existing structures have been proposed. 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 charter school will be located on an improved lot within two existing structures. The lot currently provides 148 striped parking spaces. Thirty -seven of these will be removed in order to allow for the addition of two playgrounds. The first playground will bet located at the southern side of Building A and the second will be located on the eastern side of Building B. Total parking for the facility after this reduction in parking will equal 111 spaces. The existing parking will meet the needs for the K through 12 charter school even with two added playgrounds. According to the City of Temecula Development Code (Table 17.24.040), elementary and junior high schools must be parked at a rate of 1.5 spaces per classroom. High schools must be parked at a ratio of eight spaces per classroom. Given these ratios, River Springs Charter School will require ninety spaces to accommodate classroom space. The facility, will also feature a 2,903 square foot multi - purpose room. Per the City of Temecula Development Code (Table 17.24.040), this area must be parked at a one space for every 35 square feet. This will create a need for 83 parking spaces. However, the multi - purpose room will only be used during the day by students already at the site or during evening hours when school is not in session for events such as PTA meetings, plays, and staff development. Based on this information, the highest use and greatest demand for parking will occur during the day when school is in session and classrooms are being utilized. The 111 parking spaces can accommodate the need generated during these times. Access /Circulation The project will generate increased traffic in the area. However, the applicant has worked with the City's Traffic Engineer to ensure that traffic impacts would be less than significant. This was accomplished by changing the hours that the school will begin to times that were outside of the GAPLANNING\2010\PA10 -0010 River Springs Charter School CUP \Planning \Hearing \STAFF REPORT.doc peak hours for the area. The school will begin classes at 9:15 a.m., which is outside of the peak am hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. for the area. Site circulation was also examined for the project. The applicant has submitted a pick -up and drop -off plan to help facilitate the- arrival and - departure of vehicles to the site. This plan indicates that at least five school staff members will be placed strategically in the parking lot to direct traffic flow and increase efficiency. The plan indicates that approximately 10 -12 cars at a time will be dropping -off or picking -up students. City staff had an- opportunity to watch this plan in action at another facility operated by the charter school in Murrieta. Staff observed that the plan was able to ensure the safe and controlled dropping -off of students. In addition, the applicant has agreed to a Condition of Approval allowing the City to monitor the school for a period of six months to determine that the same level of safety and efficiency will be present at the Temecula location. Furthermore, the Condition of Approval also states that revisions'can be made to the pick -up and drop -off plan during the allotted time if deficiencies are observed. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on May 22, 2010 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 15301, Class1 Existing Facilities). The proposed conditional use will allow a charter school to be located within two existing structures on the same parcel. No external changes to the structure have been proposed as part of the project. A minor modification to the existing parking lot has been proposed that will allow for the conversion of 37 parking spaces into two playgrounds. No intensification or expansion of use is proposed or permitted by the land use. FINDINGS 1. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. The General Plan land use designation for the proposed conditional use location is Low Medium (LM) residential. Educational institutions are allowed within this zone upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Also, schools are permitted in the Paloma Del Sol Specific Plan. The school will occupy existing vacant buildings that were developed in accordance with all appropriate General Plan and Development Code Guidelines. No changes to the exterior of these structures are proposed. 2. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of the adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.

Furthermore, potential traffic issues that could have resulted from the project have been successfully - mitigated through Conditions of Approval that will require the school to institute a pick -up and drop -off plan as well as begin the school day after the peak morning hours. 3. The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the Planning Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses.in the neighborhood. The conditional use will be located within two existing vacant structures and no external modifications are proposed. Staff has verified that the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in the Development Code so that it may integrate with other uses in the neighborhood. 4. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The conditional use has been reviewed and conditioned by Public Works, Building and Safety, Community Services, Fire, Police, and the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health to ensure it will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. 5.

Crime prevention through environmental design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept that "the proper design and effective - - use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary strategies that support this concept are included as recommendations below: a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi - public to private space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel safer. f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for example) by distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines -of -sight serve to provide such a perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through improved communications (portable two -way radios, for example) and design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building. PD -16.
