JOHN CAVANAUGH advised that staff could condition the dedication prior to the final map being recorded and also condition that prior to final map recordation that applicant and the TCSD enter into an agreement specifying necessary park improvements. PCMIN9/16/91 5 9-18-91 PLANNIN~ COI~SS~ON ~INUTES SEPTEMBER L6, 2992 ROBERT RIGHETTI advised the Commission that at the August 5, 1991 meeting, staff amended Condition No. 77, which is now Condition No. 79 and should read, "Plans for a traffic signal shall be designed by a registered civil engineer and approved by the Department of Public Works for the intersections of DePortola Road with Street "A" and Meadows Parkway with Street "A". All traffic signals shall be installed and operational per the special provisions and the approved traffic signal plans.

ROBERT KEMBLE indicated the applicant's concurrence with the amendments to the Conditions of Approval.

The Commission questioned what action they could take, in regards to their general concerns regarding the residential density proposed. JOHN CAVANAUGH advised that in order to take action in the form of denial of the tentative tract map, the Commission would have to make findings that the proposed application is somehow not consistent with or deviates from the standards of the Development Agreement as it applies to the governing Specific Plan. Mr. Cavanaugh added that the Commission could also continue this item to allow staff to make findings for denial, continue the project indefinitely or reconsider the Commission's original motion. COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF moved to reconsider his previous motion. AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Chiniaeff, Fahey, Ford, Hoagland NOES: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Blair COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated based on the input from staff and the city attorney, the Commission is trying to address the density problem when it is no longer subject to Commission review therefore, she indicated that she would support the motion by Commissioner Chiniaeff. PCMIN9/16/91 7 9-18-91 PL21~TNING COI~ISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 16, 1991 COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF moved to close the public hearing at 7:30 P.M. and Recommend adoption of the Negative Declaration for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 24183 and AdoDt Resolution No. 91-(next) recommending approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 24183, modifying Conditions No. 25, No. 26 and No. 79, seconded by COMMISSIONER FORD. COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated that although she would support the motion, she still had concerns about the overall lack of park land in this area; however, the revised Tentative Map, including the proposed park site dedication, reflects the intent of the approved Specific Plan and Development Agreement, and cannot be changed by the Commission. COMMISSIONER BLAIR stated that she would not support the motion based on the fact that the project is increasing densities without allowing for adequate park lands. COMMISSIONER HOAGLAND stated that he was dissatisfied with the options left available to the Commission on this item. He added that although he feels that staff could not come up with valid findings for denial, the Commission has voiced valid problems as they generally relate to densities and small residential lot sizes when not supported by additional park sites or recreational amenities.

COMMISSIONER FORD requested clarification from Gary King about the statement regarding the 7.79 acres and discussions with the applicant on what is being proposed. Commissioner Ford clarified that this would not be in lieu of other park sites and amenities for this project. G~RY KING stated that previously TCSD understood they would be receiving a 7.79 acre park site dedication within this tract; however, the applicant is requesting TCSD to recalculate the proposal's Quimby dedication requirements based on reduction in residential acreage developed subsequent to dedication of the proposed 7.79 acre park site. CHAIRF,%N HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 7:58 P.M. ROBERT KEMBLE, Robert Bien, William Frost & Associates, 28765 Single Oak Drive, Temecula, representing the applicant, requested clarification on the actual acreage that would be required under Quimby. Mr. Kemble stated that they were willing to comply with the Quimby Act. COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF suggested that the applicant might consider submitting a development plan on the parcels so that the Commission might determine whether the applicant is providing adequate park land dedication. COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated that there was clearly confusion between staff and the applicant on an understanding of what the requirement for park land dedication would be and therefore, the project would be impossible to approve at this juncture. COMMISSIONER FORD added that he was confused with the project Conditions of Approval and felt that there is a misunderstanding between staff and the applicant. COMMISSIONER BLAIR concurred and COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF added that staff needed the opportunity to review full, detailed site specific development plans before approving the proposal. PCMIN9/16/91 9 9-18-91 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 16, 1991 CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that an over-whelming concern of the residents attending the General Plan meetings is residential density within the City vs. public services/ recreation provided.

COMMISSIONER FORD agreed that there needs to be more panels allowed. He stated that he felt there are to many inconsistencies and should go back to staff for further work. COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that he felt that the penalties were not appropriate and should be raised. CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND suggested that staff come up with some quidelines on where these signs can be placed.

GARY KING stated that there was approximately 5 acres that has been set aside as wet land area, 2.75 acres negotiated as park land and approximately 10 acres is designated as open space, which can be integrated into the City trail system. COMMISSIONER FORD questioned delineating lot 215 into two separate lots through conditioning. GARY THORNHILL advised that they could condition that separation.

DAVE JAMES stated that they had hoped the City would accept all of lot 215 including the slopes; however, if the City did not accept all of lot 215, the HOA would maintain the lot(s) not accepted as dedication. COMMISSIONER FORD suggested that a condition be included to ensure that the Homeowners Association maintain the interior open spaces. COMMISSIONER FAHEY questioned Condition No. 2 being redundant to TCSD condition requiring land dedication. GARY KING concurred with Commissioner Fahey and stated that Condition No. 2 could be deleted. GARY THORNHILL recommended deleting Condition 18, D & E, and amend with a condition stating that the Homeowners Association shall maintain non-arterial slopes. CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated he was unclear how the City was going to develop park land on what appeared to be the sump area of the wet lands. DOUG STEWART stated that staff will investigate the sump location prior to approving the park land.

CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 9:12 P.M. TOM AWBREY, 1515 Moreno, San Diego, architect, concurred with the staff report and added that they would be willing to hydroseed the undeveloped remainder of the project site. COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF expressed a concern for the project becoming a refuse disposal site and stated that he did not feel the use was compatible to the area. Commissioner Chiniaeff added that he did not feel the wall would withstand the intended use. TOM AWBREY advised that the site is to be used for truck fueling and maintenance only. Mr. Awbrey added that there would be a 14' high screen wall around the site as well. COMMISSIONER BLAIR questioned why the applicant changed from a stucco/masonry wall to the metal wall.

ROBERT KEMBLE stated that the applicant came back to the Commission after addressing issues and concerns raised by the Commission in the January meeting; however, consideration of alternative uses was not a concern the applicant was requested to address.

COMMISSIONER FAHEY moved to Deny Change of Zone No. 5631 and Deny Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 25320 based on the proposals being inconsistent with the future General Plan due to the increased density along a prominent ridgeling, the significant grading required, and recommend Deny adoption of the Negative Declaration due to the potential negative impact the increased density may have on traffic and drainage into the'Lake Village area, seconded by COMMISSIONER BLAIR. COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that he would support the motion based on the potential grading impacts of this project.
