On July 14, 2008, the Old Town Local Review Board recommended approval of Planning
Application No. PA08-0008, a Development Plan application for the Truax Building, a four-story,
66,000 square foot mixed-use building consisting of retail commercial and office uses on a 0.52
acre lot and the associated Sign Program, Planning Application No. PA08-0083. On September
17, 2008, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Development Plan and Sign
Program. The City Council approved the Development Plan and Sign Program on October 14,
2008.
X:\Planning\2015\PA15-1341 Truax Sign Program\Planning\PA15-1341 Staff Report.docx
On September 02, 2015, a Sign Program amendment was submitted by Walt Allen Architects.
In October of 1979, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors established the Old Town
Temecula Preservation District to preserve and recognize the unique character of Old Town
Temecula. After the City's incorporation, the district established the Old Town Specific Plan in
1993. The Old Town Specific Plan has been revised several times since inception, with the
latest revisions occurring in May of 2010. The latest iteration of the Old Town Specific Plan was
revised through several visioning workshops. These workshops developed several Visioning
Recommendations that ultimately formed the basis for Sign Standards in the Old Town Specific
Plan. The most pertinent recommendation, Visioning Recommendation "d", states:
"New development will respect the historical heritage of Old Town and promote a
lively pedestrian oriented streetscape by following architectural guidelines related
to building form, architectural style, street frontage design, materials, colors, and
detailing resulting in high quality, well designed buildings."
From these Visioning Recommendations, Goals, Objectives and Policies were developed.
Again, the pertinent Community Design- Policy 3 states:
"Establish and required compliance with signage design guidelines and
standards that promote the pedestrian scale of the area and complement the
varying architectural styles and building forms in Old Town"
The Old Town Specific Plan addressed these visions in specific sign regulations provided in
Chapter IV, Section J of the Old Town Specific Plan. Sign regulations in Old Town Temecula
are more restrictive than the rest of the community due to the unique character of Old Town
Temecula that was identified in the visioning process as being an important element to maintain.
Regulations for signage include:
• Architectural compatibility
• Colors
• Materials and Construction
• Lighting Considerations
• Permits
• Sign programs
• Prohibited signs
• Temporary banners
• Portable signs
• Sign placement
• Sign lighting
• Sign area
• Sign Types
• Sign Maintenance
The application before the Old Town Local Review Board looks to alter a previously approved
Sign Program for the Truax building and the regulations accompanying the Sign Program.
X:\Planning\2015\PA15-1341 Truax Sign Program\Planning\PA15-1341 Staff Report.docx
ANALYSIS
The Old Town Specific Plan identifies standards for all signage, including sign area, colors,
materials, locations, and lighting. Within the Old Town Specific Plan, Sign Programs are
permitted when, "permanent signs exceed or cannot comply with the standards by this chapter
due to unique characteristics of the site or the unique characteristics of the building facade on
upon which the sign is placed."
Staff conducted a review of the previously approved Sign Program to determine what deviations
from the Old Town Specific Plan were previously approved. Table 1 (below) details flexibility
that is already permitted for the Truax Sign Program in comparison to the Old Town Specific
Plan:
TABLE 1: OLD TOWN SP AND TRUAX SIGN COMPARISON

Window signage on the 1st and 2nd floors
(limited to 50 % of one window per tenant per
frontage)
Window signage on the 1st2nd and 3rd floors
(limited to 20% of one window per tenant on
the 1st floor, 20% of one window per tenant
on the 2nd floor and 30 % of one window per
tenant on the 3rd floor)
One wall sign per frontage
An exception for an additional wall sign if a
tenant has an entire elevation
1.5 square feet of sign area per linear foot of
business establishment frontage.
0.5 square feet of sign area per liner foot of
business establishment frontage along the
secondary street
30 square feet maximum, not to exceed 12
feet in length
Director of Public Works and Director of
Planning encroachment required for any
signage in the right-of-way
A three foot encroachment into the public
right-of-way
After reviewing the previously approved Sign Program, staff reviewed the proposed Sign
Program amendment to determine the scope of changes. The major changes are listed and
compared in Table 2, found below.

(An increase of -105%)
*These square footages do not match the sign envelope calculations, as the sign programs
calculate a maximum sign area within each sign envelope.
The most prominent change that the applicant is requesting is the addition of third floor frieze
signage. These signs would be non -illuminated wall signs that cover a portion of the third floor
frieze. The Old Town Specific plan does allow for a single sign on the third or fourth story of a
building when a business or tenant occupies more than 50 percent of the total gross building
area. None of the existing tenants meet this threshold. The applicant states that the third floor
signage is necessary as freeway signage was promised to the existing tenants, by the applicant.
X:\Planning\2015\PA15-1341 Truax Sign Program\Planning\PA15-1341 Staff Report.docx
Staff recognizes the magnitude of allowing freeway oriented signage in Old Town Temecula,
and seeks comment on the third floor frieze signage that deviates from the Visioning
Recommendations, Goals, Objectives and Policies, and Sign regulations of the Old Town
Specific Plan.
The applicant is also requesting "primary tenant" language that is defined as, "A Tenant that
occupies 50% or more of a single floor, or a nationally recognized business." This definition is
provided by the applicant, not the Old Town Specific Plan. The "nationally recognized business"
definition becomes a de facto approval for any business, based on staff's experience with
signage. This would allow the building owner to permit any tenant on any floor to have signage
on two frontages and the opportunity for a first floor tenant to have signage on the third floor.
Staff is requesting comments on the "primary tenant" language. Again, the Old Town Specific
plan does allow for a single sign on the third or fourth story of a building when a business or
tenant occupies more than 50 percent of the total gross building area.
Changes to the existing 1st floor frieze sign envelopes are proposed to change from 23' long by
2' tall to 30'-8" long by 2' tall for a majority of signs on the first floor. The maximum of 30 square
feet per sign is being replaced with an allowance for 75% of the sign area to be used for
signage (with the logo not being counted towards the 75% sign area maximum). The 12' long
maximum has also been removed from the wall signs which would allow for a significant
increase in the permitted sign area. Two additional signs are proposed for the 1st floor north
elevation, and the 1st floor west elevation. The proposed sign envelope changes, additional 3rd
floor frieze signs and sign area calculation change would allow for 105% more signage than the
approved Sign Program. Staff seeks comment on the proposed sign envelope increases from
the Old Town Local Review Board.
RECOMMENDATION
While Sign Programs are intended to provide flexibility, the following signs and language are not
consistent with the Sign section of the Old Town Specific Plan. Due to the nature of the
applicant's request, staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board review and
provide comments for the following:
• Third floor frieze signs (north, south, east, and west elevations)
• Primary tenant language
• Increased sign envelopes and overall proposed increase in wall sign area.
Staff is seeking input from the Old Town Local Review Board and will incorporate the Old Town
Local Review Board's recommendations into a staff report for the Planning Commission for
further consideration.
