13.Contract Change Orders No. 21 through 26 for Ynez Road Widening Pro@ect, PW92-05
CFD 88-12
Councilmember Stone expressed concern regarding the continued cost overruns on this
project. Councilmember Stone suggested that during the bid process staff investigate
a contractor's past history regarding cost overruns prior to awarding the contract to
low bidder. He said Items No. 23 and No. 24 were of particular concern.
Public Works Engineer Ray Casey advised both Item No. 23 and No. 24 were not
shown to be relocated on the plan. Mr. Casey said a project of this size almost always
incurs several change orders and will require several private property improvements.
He advised the Council this project was surveyed over 2 1/2 year ago and many
improvements were not in at that time. Mr. Casey said the project is still within the
1 5% contingency.
City Manager David Dixon said that contractors are trying to reduce their bids as low
as possible and get as many reimbursements as possible. He said he thought
Councilmember Stone's recommendation was a very good idea.
Ray Casey said staff negotiates each change order with the contractor.
It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Roberts to
approve staff recommendation as follows:

agreement with Cal Trans, and if Cal Trans can make changes once the design has
been completed.

He said staff has been negotiating with Cal Trans and will continue to do so.

regarding this issue.

1 6.Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of PA93-0009,Tentative Parcel Map 2505.9
First Extension of Time and PA93-001 0, Plot Plan 34, First Extension of Time - Crystal
Ridge
Planning Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report. He said the Conditions of
Approval that were added to the extension of time by the Planning Commission, were
because these conditions are important to public health, safety and welfare and
consistent with the future general plan. Director Thornhill said the applicant feels the
map should get an automatic extension of time under Ordinance 460, however, it is
the opinion of the City Attorney this application does not meet that requirement.
CCMIN10126/93 -8- 11/02/93
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26,1993
Councilmember Parks advised he has previously abstained on this item due to a
previous financial interest, however it has been two years since he had any financial
interest in this property and therefore he will vote on the issue.
Mayor Mufioz opened the public hearing at 8:50 P.M.
Anthony Polo, Avalon Consultants, 4351 7 Ridge Park Drive, Temecula, representing
the applicant, said he believes since the City has not adopted a general plan it is illegal
to apply conditions to a project based on the draft general plan. As the applicant's
representative, regarding the time extension, he disagreed with the requirements as set
by staff and the city attorney. Additionally, on page 5 of the staff report, Condition
No. 3 regarding a grading permit, he said he believes are over-simplified sections of the
ordinance and they are already covered in depth by the ordinance.
City Attorney Scott Field clarified Condition No. 1 8 which states the sub-divider is to
participate in, and waives all rights to object to, the formation of an assessment
district, community services district or a fee district providing for the construction of
the corridor.
Councilmember Parks stated an alignment study is being done and when the initial
study was done, the applicant's map showing the plot plan was not available.
City Attorney Field said dedication of property is not required at this time and will take
place at the plot plan stage. Mr. Field explained the map act provision regarding
automatic time extension. He said the sub-divider must spend $1 25,000 in off-site
improvements and record a final phase map, the recording of the first phase gives him
a extension of thirty-six months to record future phases.
It was moved by Councilmember Stone, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Roberts to

18.General Plan Adoption
Senior Planner John Meyer explained that after meeting with the School District and
representatives of Kemper Development to discuss the school facilities policies, the
School District and Kemper Development have agreed to revised language, presented
by the City Attorney, regarding these policies.
The Council approved the proposed language by consensus.
Mr. Meyer explained that in response to recent Council action, staff has re-evaluated
the land use designation for the Wal-Mart site, which was originally shown as
professional office on the draft general plan dated July 22, 1 992. He said during the
public hearing process in the fall of 1 992, the Planning Commission made no changes
to this designation. In the February 1993, staff received a letter from the property
owner's representative requesting a change of the land use designation to community
commercial. At the June 1 993 meeting the City Council tentatively approved the
applicant's request and changed the draft land use designation from professional office
CCMIN10/26/93 -14- 11/02/93
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26,1993
to community commercial. At the July, 1 993 meeting staff approved an E.I.R. Based
on the recommendation by the Council, staff is recommending the land use remain
professional office.
Councilmember Stone questioned the length of time before the property could be
designated commercial.
City Attorney Scott Field said it would require a general plan amendment to designate
the property commercial.
City Manager David Dixon clarified the zoning could be changed to commercial but not
the same commercial designation for a period of one year.
Gary Thornhill said staff is making this recommendation in response to the Council's
direction in re-zoning the property. Mr. Thornhill said although the commercial
designation would be the preferred land use, the professional office designation could
be consistent with the Council's action.
Councilmember Birdsall said she has a problem applying the professional office
designation to support the Mello-Roos tax along this corridor. Councilmember Birdsall
said this property has been considered commercial since incorporation of the City.
City Manager Dixon said there is still specific zoning set aside on the specific plan for
a regional center.
Mayor Mufioz said staff is making the recommendation for professional office based
on the very specific detailed discussion the Council held in closed door session which
the Council supports. He said this is the recommendation of the City Attorney and
staff is reacting to that and the Council must support staff.
Mayor Mufioz opened the public hearing at 10:00 P.M.
Brian Noreen, General Manager of Kemper Real Estate, 30381 Red River Circle,
Temecula, said he is not sure who has made the recommendation of professional
office. Mr. Noreen explained the subject parcel is part of Specific Plan 263 which
Kemper staff has been considering and discussing with City staff for the past few
years. He said City staff was supporting the commercial designation during
discussions, and without notifying Kemper Real Estate, they have decided on the
professional office designation withoutnotifying Kemperof the recommendationbefore
the Council tonight.
Mayor Mufioz suggested the Council consider recessing to a closed door session.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Roberts, seconded by Councilmember Stone to
extend the meeting from 10:1 5 P.M. to 1 1:00 P.M.

He advised the consensus of the Council was to continue this element of the General
Plan for two weeks.
Sam Alhadaff, attorney representing the applicant, stated for the record, the applicant
would object to any future closed door sessions with regard to the General Plan.
Senior Planner John Meyer summarized the remaining elements of the General Plan.
Councilmember Parks asked for clarification of staff's recommendation for the access
to the high school on Winchester Road.
Mr. Meyer said there was discussion on whether or not the Nicolas Road extension
provided any reduction in congestion on Winchester Road and the traffic model
indicates without the North General Kearney link this particular link does not provide
any significant reduction on Winchester Road. It will provide additional access to the
high school, however the most efficient access would be to have it cross Santa
Gertrudis Creek.
Councilmember Parks recommended the Nicolas Road extension, across the creek, be
removed from the circulation element and show an access point to the high school.
The Council agreed by consensus.
CCMIN10/26/93 -16- 11/02/93
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26,1993
Senior Planner John Meyer provided a staff report on the Chaparral area. He said there
were several changes, one of significance recommending low density designation and
reducing the area that would be considered the chaparral area and taking it out of the
special study overlay.
The Council approved by consensus with Councilmember Stone and Councilmember
Parks abstaining due to a conflict of interest.
Tom Rodgers, 35270 Calle Nopel, Temecula, representing Nissan of Temecula, stated
the dealership is currently on a parcel which has a request for change to Business
Professional (BP). Mr. Rodgers expressed concern that auto dealerships are not
permitted under the BP designation.
Larry Markham, Markham and Associates, 41 750 Winchester Road, Temecula,
representing the property owner, explained the property to the North and the East are
zoned Industrial Professional (IP) and the closest General Plan designation is BP. Mr.
Markham said the property owner intends to incorporate these in the overall plan. The
BP designation in the General Plan could be implemented in the proposed light industrial
zone.
Senior Planner John Meyer recommended the Council continue this item for two weeks
to allow staff to review and bring back a recommendation.
The Council agreed by consensus to continue this item for two weeks.
It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Councilmember Stone to extend
the meeting to 1 1:30 P.M.
The Council reviewed and approved by consensus the Growth Management and Public
Facilities, Circulation, Community Design Elements and the Revisions Addendum as
presented and recommending continuing the Land Use Element and the EIR to the
