PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
e
APPEAL NO. 19, APPEAL OF SIGN (PPA 248)
5.1
An appeal of the Planning Director's Denial of an
application for two wall mounted signs. Applicant is
West Dallas, located at the Tower Plaza Shopping Center,
27469 Ynez Road.
MATTHEW FAGAN summarized the staff report.
CMAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 6:20 P.M.
MARK TUCKER, West Dallas, stated that they were told
during lease negotiations with Bedford, that their sign
would be approved. When they designed the sign, staff
advised them that they would accept one sign, "West
Dallas Western Apparel". Mr. Tucker noted that 49% of
his business was boots and he would like to advertise
"boots" along with "western apparel".
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF asked the applicant if they could
put all the wording on one sign.
MARK TUCKER advised that there was an Edison electrical
wall that was interfering with the sign being one sign
with all wording. Mr. Tucker added that he was not aware
until just prior to the meeting, that staff was not
recommending the two signs.
GARY THORNHILL commented that the real concern besides
the number of signs, is the precedent the sign could set
for a menu display.
PCMIN01/27/92 -3- 01/28/92
PLANNING COI~IBSION MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1992
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that with the location of "West
Dallas" and the Edison electrical wall, this sign is not
effective for northbound traffic on the highway.
GARY THORNHILL suggested putting one sign at the
northerly end of the building which included all that the
applicant was proposing.
MARK TUCKER stated that if he would have to get with his
sign designers to address this suggestion.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND advised Mark Tucker that he was asking
the Commission to overturn the ordinance and the
Commission does not have that authority; however, there
may be other avenues to explore with staff such as
applying for a variance to the ordinance.
G~Y THORNHILL suggested that the Commission continue
this item to the second meeting of February to allow
staff time to explore other alternatives.
JOHN CAVANAUGH advised that the Commission must act on
the appeal as it was submitted, which does not prevent
the applicant from coming back to the Commission with
another proposal.
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that he thought that some
consideration should be given to the applicant regarding
fees, due to the misunderstandings.
GARY THORNHILL stated that staff could work that out with
the applicant.
COMMISSIONER BLAIR moved to close the public hearing at
6:45 P.M. and Adopt Resolution No. 92-(next) denying
Appeal No. 19 of Administrative Plot Plan No. 248, based
analysis and findings contained in the staff report,
seconded by COMMISSIONER FAHEY.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that he would support the motion
with the understanding that the applicant will be able to
work on some other options with staff.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that the major finding to
look at would be 5(c).
GARY THORNHILL clarified that there will have to be
extraordinary circumstances in Mr. Tucker's situation to
support the variance.

Proposal to subdivide 7.1 gross acres into three parcels
and construct three industrial buildings totalling
104,577 square feet. Located at the southeast corner of
Rancho Way and Business Park Drive.
MATTHEW FAGAN summarized the staff report.
Matthew Fagan 'advised that Condition No. 61, Page 28 of
the staff report should be deleted and replaced with the
following Condition:
No. 61 - Prior to the issuance of building permits, the
developer shall submit proof of provision for maintenance
and repair of all on-site drainage facilities and
landscaped parkways as directed by the Department of
Public Works. This condition shall be superseded by the
recording of alternate CC&R's with the final map.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 6:55 P.M.
IDA SANCHEZ, Markham & Associates, 41750 Winchester Road,
Temecula, representing the applicant, requested that Plot
Plan Condition No. 16 be modified to delete "Prior to
occupancy". Ms. Sanchez also requested that staff
consider a dimenimous finding for Condition 29 of the
Plot Plan and Condition 22 of the Parcel Map.
JOHN CAVANAUGH indicated that staff would not be willing
to make that finding.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF questioned the wall along the
easterly portion of the property.
IDA SANCHEZ indicated that the applicant was conditioned
to put that wall in by the County.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF asked that staff include that
condition as well.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that he would like staff to
ensure that the landscaping along Rancho Way looking down

ROBERT RIGHETTI read the following two paragraphs to be
included on Page 24 after the "Public Works Department":
The following are the Public Works Department's
Conditions of Approval for this project and shall be
completed at no cost to any government agency. All
questions regarding the true meaning of the Condition
shall be referred to the Public Works Department. It is
understood that the developer correctly shows all
existing easements, traveled ways and drainage courses,
and their omission may require the project to be
resubmitted for further consideration.
Mr. Righetti stated that these two paragraphs should also
appear on Page 34, inserted just before the heading
"Prior to recordation of the final map".
COMMISSIONER F~HEY moved to close the public hearing at
7:00 P.M. and Adopt the Negative Declaration for Plot

residential subdivision on 4.8 acres. Located on the
west side of Green Tree Lane, 300 feet North of Pauba
Road.
MATTHEW FAGAN summarized the staff report.
CHAIRMAN CHINIAEFF opened the public hearing at 7:05 P.M.
ROBERT VAN HOUGHTON, Centennial Engineering, 28480
Highway 74, Suite E, Romoland, questioned the Quimby Fee
Requirement and stated that he concurred with the staff
report.
GARY-THORNHILL advised that the requirement for Quimby
Fees was in the original conditions, this was just a
rewording of the requirement which would replace the
previous condition.
BOB PIPHER, 41825 Green Tree Road, Temecula, stated that
he thought that both this development and the next
proposed development should be brought together somehow.
KENNETH WILCH, 2440 S. Hacienda Heights, Hacienda
Heights, California, representing the applicant on the
next project, questioned why this developer was not
required to do road improvements to obtain access off of
Green Tree Road.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND suggested that Mr. Wilch discuss this
with staff.
JOHN TELESIO, 31760 Via Telesio, Temecula, indicated that
he has been supportive of this project since it's
inception. He stated that the developer had agreed that
the centerline of Via Telesio would be offset to have the
road width placed within the easement favoring the south
PCMIN01/27/92 -7- 01/28/92
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1992
side and asked that staff reaffirm that understanding.
ROBERT RIGHETTI indicated that staff concurred with Mr.
Telesio's understanding and the project has been
conditioned to reflect that understanding. Also,
Condition 11, Item A, notes that staff reduced the street
section to 24' even though a typical street section is
36'.

Proposal for a 10 Lot Residential Subdivision on 11
acres. Located on the northeast corner of Green Tree
Road and Grapevine.
MARK RHOADES summarized the staff report. Mark Rhoades
modified the following Conditions of Approval:
No. 33 - "Prior to recordation of the final map the
applicant or his assignee shall conform to Ordinance No.
460.93 Quimby by paying in full to the City of Temecula
TCSD the fair market value of .13 acres of land as
determined by the TCSD.
The following item is a point of clarification from the
Public Works Department and reads as follows "In order to
relieve any ambiguity of Condition of Approval No. 80,
staff recommends that the condition be revised to read as
follows:
No. 80 - A 28' wide paved access road to Pauba Road via
Green Tree Road shall be provided within a recorded road
easement as approved by the Department of Public Works.
A turn-around bulb with a 38' minimum radius shall be
provided at the intersection of Green Tree Road and Grape
Vine.
PCMIN01/27/92 -8- 01/28/92
PLANN'rNG COI~?SB'rON H~'NUTES J~NUiI~Y 27, 1992
CHAIRMAN CHINIAEFF asked if staff met with the applicant
to discuss alternative access routes.
ROBERT RIHHETTI stated that staff did meet with the
applicant and the engineer and looked at Green Tree from
Pauba, driving that area in the rain. No decisions were
made at that time as to other alternatives.
CHAIRMAN HOAHL~ND opened the public hearing at 7:25 P.M.
KENNETH WILCH, 2440 S. Hacienda Boulevard, Hacienda
Heights, representing the applicant, stated that the
outstanding issue at the last two hearings was the off-
site improvements and the width of those improvements.
He added that they did not discuss the extension of
Grapevine out to Pauba. Mr. Wilch added that they had
been trying to work with the homeowners but they were
strongly opposed to that. The way the conditions were
written it still gave the applicant the option to do
that; however, the rewording of the conditions reads that
the only option is to take Green Tree to Pauba. Mr.
Wilch stated that the understanding that they had during
discussions in the field was that they would be required
to provide a 24' width road and Condition No. 80 now
reads 28' wide paved secondary access.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY expressed confusion regarding the
applicant's concern regarding the width of the private
road, which she understood as a requirement for the
turnaround bulb.
MR. WILCH stated that he did not have a problem with the
turnaround bulb, but with the width requirement for the
36' streets he felt was excessive for the rural
environment.
ROBERT RIHHETTI stated that staff considered this as the
primary access to the subdivision which was why they
planned the roadway as proposed. The County is
considering a new policy, which states the larger type
parcels will provide for a 28' road. Mr. Righetti stated
that many private street residents are asking the City to
take over maintenance of their roads and in order for the
City to do that, they have to be brought up to City
standards, which can be very costly. This road does
serve as a residential collector road.
BOB PIPER, 41825 Green Tree Road, Temecula, advised that
97% of the residents in this area have requested that the
area remain rural, which would be a 24' road without
PCMIN01/27/92 -9- 01/28/92
curb, gutter, street light and sidewalk. He also asked
that the developer's CC&R's be mixed with the existing
CC&R's.
JOHN TELESIO, 31760 Via Telesio, Temecula, stated that he
concurred with the applicant's points regarding the rural
environment of this area.
DON/%LD GURMAN, 41725 Calle Cedro, Temecula, stated that
he was against the City's requirement that the applicant
install curb, gutter, sidewalks and street lights.
TONY BARRY, 41837 Calle Cedro, Temecula, stated that he
was opposed to curbs, gutters, street lights and
sidewalks. Mr. Barry also expressed a concern that Calle
Cedro could be damaged during construction and requested
provisions be written to ensure the road is returned to
its present condition if such damage occurs.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF asked
Condition 80 were in conflict.
if Condition 38 and
ROBERT RIGHETTI stated that Green Tree Road for the area
along the front of this project, would be designed to
City standard No. 104, Section B, but this is where the
actual improvements would fall in the actual centerline
of the street. He clarified that the curb and gutter was
to be on Rancho Vista, not Green Tree or the private
street.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated that he thought there was
a shorter route to get out of this development and the
Commission has indicated in the past that they are
looking for some sort of paved route for emergency
vehicles.
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that he was concerned that
improvements are being done; however, the roads still do
not meet City standards.
CHAIRMAN HOA~LAND stated that the City did not know if
there is going to be a rural standard in the future. He
added that he felt that the development had to have a
paved access.
ROBERT RI~HETTI advised that on Page 17, just after
Department of Public Works it should say "Prior to
recordation of the Final Map". Additionally, Mr.
Righetti stated that two paragraphs were not added and
read them as follows:
PCMIN01/27/92 -10- 01/28/92
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1992
The following are the Public Works Department's
Conditions of Approval for this project and shall be

questions regarding the true meaning of the Condition
shall be referred to the Public Works Department. It is
understood that the developer correctly shows all
existing easements, traveled ways and drainage courses,
and their omission may require the project to be
resubmitted for further consideration.
Pursuant to Section 66493 of the Sub-division Map Act
any sub-division which is part of an existing assessment
district must comply with said section.
MARK RHOADES clarified that Conditions 22 and 33 would be
deleted and the Condition he read during the staff report
would be added.
MARK RHOADES asked if Conditions 48 and 50 applied solely
to Rancho Vista Road.
DOUG STEWART stated that the only street that gets full
street improvements is Rancho Vista Road. He modified
Condition No. 50 to read "Street lights, curb and gutter,
sidewalks shall be provided only along Rancho Vista Road
adjoining the subject site, etc". All other street
standards will be referred back to Conditions No. 36 -
40.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY moved to close the public hearing at
8:00 P.M. and Adopt Resolution No. 92-(next) Adopting the

CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that he would like to clarify
why the Commission voted in favor of staff's
PCMIN01/27/92 -11- 01/28/92
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1992
recommendations. Chairman Hoagland stated that he voted
in favor of staff's recommendation to provide a paved
access back this development for emergency vehicles.
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that this was a sub-division
tract map and the sizing of the lots, and following what
the Council recommended on previous approvals, was to
lean toward rural standards as they relate to larger
lots. Both the City staff and Planning Commission has
agreed that certain improvements have been reduced within
the tract; however, offsite, they have been conditioned
to provide a paved access which is Green Tree. The
improvements that have been reduced are street lights,
curb and gutter and sewer.

AMENDMENT NO. Z
10.1 Proposal to amend the boundary of the Paloma Del Sol
(formerly the Meadows) Specific Plan to include Planning
Area No. 36. Located on the southeast corner of
Margarita Road and DePortola Road.
MARK RHOADES summarized the staff report.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 8:20 P.M.
KEITH MCCANN, JR., 43121 Margarita Road, Temecula, made
comments and requested modifications to the following:
Condition No. 8 requires an archeological study be done
on the property which he stated he felt was redundant.
Mr. McCann referred to the property being in use for many
years.
Condition No. 15 requires the submission of a biological
report; however, areas No. 10 and No. 25 are the only two
areas showing evidence of potential K-Rat habitat. Mr.
McCann advised that disking is being done to the property
on a regular basis for fire mitigation.
Condition No. 16 requested verification of the
requirement for payment to Fish and Game, which he
requested to be put off until Plot Plan submission of
approval.
Staff indicated that they would not be willing to amend
that Condition.
PCMIN01/27/92 -12- 01/28/92
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1992
MR. MCCANN questioned what staff considered the meaning
of a "strip center", referring to the memo by Gary
Thornhill to the Planning Commission.
MR. MCCANN reviewed the landscape exhibits with the
Commission.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF asked Mr. McCann if he received a
copy of the letter from the School District and if he had
any problem with the letter.
MR. MCCANN stated that yes he did have a problem with the
letter. Mr. McCann stated that he felt the School Board
may not have had all the facts relating to the proposed
project and the overall area when preparing their
recommendation.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND asked if the applicant would be willing
to amend the Specific Plan to include Area No. 1.
MR. MCCANN stated that if it would make it more efficient
then he had no problem with it.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that he was very concerned with
this 2 1/2 acres developing prematurely.
LETTIE BOGGS, representing the Temecula Valley Unified
School District, 31350 Rancho Vista Road, Temecula,
clarified the comments and recommendations made by the
letter from the school district. She stated that the
primary issue is the health and welfare of the students
and staff at this site. The items that were marked were
reasons of environmental safety, as well as attractive
nuisance issues, unsuitable neighbor issues and traffic
impacts. The way that staff marked the criteria was to
create a buffer area between the school and the
commercial area to the south and east of the area.
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that he had a problem with the
school district telling the City that you could not have
a plumbing shop because some trucks will be coming into
it, or you cannot have a fast food business because the
kids would want to go there or a mail order business
because there may be some shipping involved.
NAYREE DAVIS, 28895 Vallejo, Temecula, speaking on behalf
of the Los Ranchitos Homeowner's Association, stated for
the record they were in opposition to a zone change at
this time. Ms. Davis stated that if the Association
were in favor of this zone change, which they are not, it
PCMIN01/27/92 -13- 01/28/92
PL~'NING CON~fTSSTON MINUTES ~ANU~RY 27, '~992
would be the responsibility of the Association to
strongly oppose a possible City sanctioned zone change,
before the CC&R issue is resolved first. Ms. Davis added
that in order to build anything other than a single
family dwelling, the Association would have to provide
the legal consent of 51% of the voters.
CHAIRMAN CHINIAEFF stated that he did not feel it was the
City's obligation to step in and enforce the CC&Rs. This
property is located at the intersection of two major
arterials and surrounded by another forty acres of
commercial development approved in the Specific Plan and
this is not the location for a residence.
KEITH MCCANN stated that he met with Bob Coslens, of the
Temecula Unified School District on December 12, 1991,
and asked what the school district's concerns were and
Mr. Coslens stated that they were only concerned about
beer and wine, therefore in the planning stages, the
school districts concerns were recognized.
GARY THORNHILL clarified that the City did not represent
anything to the applicant with respect to the school
district's wishes.
COl~4ISSIONER CHINIAEFF stated again that he did not feel
that this was an appropriate place for a residence. Mr.
Chiniaeff also stated that he thought that the school
board's list is very prohibitive. Commissioner Chiniaeff
added that he was concerned about the development of this
property in concert with the surrounding property. Mr.
Chiniaeff stated that he thought it was premature to zone
this property commercial until the general plan has been
completed.
COI~fISSIONER FAHEY stated that she also thought is was
premature to re-zone this area prior to the completion of
the general plan. Commissioner Fahey stated that she
felt that the commercial would be in conflict with the
residential as well as the school.
COF~ISSIONER FAHEY moved to Deny Change of Zone No. 18;
and Specific Plan Amendment No. 219, Amendment No. 2,
seconded by COMMISSIONER BLAIR.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY amended her motion to close the public
hearing as well at 8:55 P.M., COMMISSIONER BLAIR

the privilege to do
so. Ms. Fahey
concluded that she
was not in favor of
overriding the
CC&R's.
Believes that the
project will be
consistent with the
future general plan
because of the
nature of the
residential being
surrounded by other
commercial. Due to
the fact that the
roads are major
arterial roads and
will carry large
volumes of traffic,
it creates a natural
separation. The
CC&R' s which are
existing on it are a
function of the
homeowner · s, that
will have to be
worked out with the
applicant, and the
Commission is not to
be concerned with
the CC&R' s. Also,
this project could
be brought into a
consistency level
with the Specific
Plan commercial with
what is proposed
there if properly
conditioned.
Believes that this
is a premature zone
change. There is a
possibility that it
may be commercial at
sometime; however,
it may not be and
what the ultimate
