Growth Management Workshop
RECOMMENDATION: Receive Staff's presentation and provide direction.
BACKGROUND: The issue of growth in the community has always been a concem. However,
because of rapid growth in 1999 and the corresponding amount of road construction, some
members of the community are wondering if the City is changing too fast. The purpose of this
workshop is to provide information to the City Council on the City's Growth Management
options.
Growth Management is described as strategies involving the control of one or more of the
familiar components of land use planning - involving the location, type, density, amount, and
quality of development, as well as the timing of necessary infrastructure. Unlike traditional "two
dimensional" development controls. growth management involves the addition of a third
dimension, timing, to the process.
The following is an outline of staffs presentation:
Introduction:
Purpose of the meeting - to initiate a discussion about regional growth
management.
The first lO-years of cityhood - roads, parks, police and fire services, new jobs,
and Old Town.
Current and future traffic levels
Growth Management in the General Plan.
Future
Vision:
What will the future hold for the Cities of Temecula and Murdeta and the
unincorporated portions of Southwestem Riverside County?
The next lO-years - where do we want to go?
F:~)epts~PLANNiNG\GENPLAN\Growth ManagementSFeb 29 CC,tloc
Opportunities for Future Action:
Riverside County's Regional Comprehensive integrated Plan - an opportunity to
adjust regional land use patterns to make more livable communities that
encourage alternate approaches to transportation.
Riverside County's Multi-species Habitat Conservation Program - an opportunity
to address endangered species issues and protect needed open space.

CITY OF TEMECULA Growth ManagemenFPublic Faciliaes Element
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element is to promote orderly growth
and development based on the City's ability to provide adequate public faciliries and services.
Substantial future development is antidpated in the General Plan. Housing is anticipated to
increase from 11,460 units, estimated currently within the City, to some 28, 190 dwelling units at
build-out. Business Park and commerdal uses are expected to grow by a total of 2,131 acres at
build-out of the City. This Element sets forth policies, standards, and implementation measures
to ensure that future development is coordinated with public facilities and services at deftred
levels of service. Other aspects of growth management are found within the Land Use,
Circulation, Air Quality and other elements of Temecula's General Plan. Taken together, these
sections will influence growth and development within the City and surrounding areas to achieve
the quality of life embodied in the Plan.
A. Authorization and Scope
The California Government Code, Section 65303, states that "the general plan may include
any other elements or address any other subjects which, in the judgement of the [C~ty
Council], relate to the physical development of the...city." By increasingly common practice
in California, dries are opting to include growth management and public fac'dities elements,
or related policies in the General Plan. Once adopted, this element carries the same force
and effect as a required element and must be internally consistent with the other elements of
the General Plan.
The public facilities component of the Growth Management/Public Faciliries Element
addresses both infrastructure and public services. Infrastructure includes sewer, water,
storm drain systems, sofid and baTardous waste disposal, as well as public ufdities. Public
services include police, fire, emergency medical, public schools, and civic and cultural
facilities. More detailed information about existing public facilities and services is provided
in the Master Environmental Assessment.
The growth management component of this Element addresses local and regional growth
management issues including compliance with State laws affecting growth management in
Temecula.
B. Related Plans and Programs
1. Riverside County Growth Management Element
The Comprehensive General Plan for Riverside County includes a Growth
Management Element. The purpose of the Element is to set strategy for managing
change in the County. The Element was initiated by the Board of Supervisors alter
the defeat of a citizens' ballot initiative in November of 1988 which proposed to place
a cap on the County's growth rate. The Element directs the preparation of numerous
programs including an Air Quality Element, an Open Space Program, and Agricultural
Element, a Comprehensive Transportation Plan, a Public Facilities and Services
Element Update, an Economic Development Strategy, an Annual Growth Report,
TEM41l\06GP43ROMGT · Novelllber 9, 1993 Page 6-1
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth ManagemenFPublic Facilities Element
Element Update, an Economic Development Strategy, an Annual Growth Report,
Phasing Plans, and a Capital Improvement Plan. The Element also includes a "vision"
map designating ultimate community boundaries which is subject to review and
periodic amendment. The map also identifies areas for rural and agicultural
development, and areas to remain as open space. The Growth Management Element
politics provide for phasing of capital improvements and preparation of five-year
public service development phasing plans, so that adequate public facilities will be
available to serve new development. The Count3?s Growth Management Element was
used as a guide in preparing Temecula's Growth Management/Public Facilities
Element.
Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) Growth Management
Strategy
In response to Riverside Countys Growth Management Element, the WRCOG joined
forces with the Coachella Valley COG to develop comprehensive Growth
Management Strategy that both City and County government could support. The
Plan includes a Vision Statement, and policies concerning land use, govemmental
organization, financing of local government, and public services and facilities plans.
The WRCOG's Growth Management Strategy is significantly reinforced in the goals,
policies, and growth management strategy of this Element.
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Growth Management
Plan
SCAG's Growth Management Plan recommends ways to redirect the region's growth
in order to minimize congestion and better protect the environment. While SCAG
lacks the authority to mandate implementation of the Plan, other agencies, such as the
Air Quality Management District, are authorized to mandate implementation of the
Air Quality Management Plan, a program that encompasses provisions of SCAG's
Growth Management Plan. The City is subject to all AQMP requirements for local
jurisdictions as discussed further in the Air Quality Element of the General Plan.
4. Congestion Management
Propositions 108 and 111 were passed by the electorate in June 1990. This action
established new requirements for transportation planning and funding in Califomia's
urban counties. Urban counties are defined as those counties with an urbanized area
containing a population greater than 50,000 persons. The essence of the legislation
was to make funding available from increased gas taxes only to those urban counties
and their dties in which specific actions (enumerated in the legislation) were
undertaken to reduce congestion on State Highways and "principal" arterial highways
designated by the responsible local authority.
The Congestion Management Program (CMR) for Riverside County was adopted in
September 1991. The City's responsibilities for participating in the CMP are discussed
in detail in the Circulation Element.

CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
5. City of Temecula Source Reduction/Recycling Element
Pursuant to the Califomia Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, AB 939, a
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SSRE) has been prepared by the City. The
purpose of the SSRE is to establish a local plan to reduce solid waste 25 percent by
1995, and 50 percent by the year 2000. The Element contains source reduction,
recycling and composring strategies to meet the diversion goal.
In October, 1991, the City began implementation of its curbside residential waste
separation program. Recyclable and compost materials are separated ~'om household
trash and transported to processing centers in Penis and Corona respectively. The
General Plan comains goals and policies which are designed to further the reduction
objectives of the SSRE.
6. City of Temecula Household HaTa~ous Waste Element
Califomia law requires cities and counties to develop programs to address household
hazardous waste under AB 2707, a companion bill to the Integrated Solid Waste
Management Act (AB939), and under the Tanner hazardous waste management
planning legislation (AB2948). The City has prepared a Household Hazardous Waste
Element (HHWE), which identifies a program for the safe collection, recycling,
treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes generated by households in the City.
These hazardous wastes should be separated ~om solid waste and not dumped into
County landfills. The City's HHWE contains preventative ordinances and provides for
four roundups of household hazardous waste per year. The General Plan is consistent
with the objectives of the HHWE.
7. Riverside County Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Response Master
Plan
The City of Temecula contracts with the Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD)
for fire protection services, whose operations are governed by the Comprehensive Fire
Protection Master Plan. The Master Plan provides guidance for the provision of fire
protection and emergency services in dries and the unincorporated areas protected by
the RCFD. The Plan provides a description of current and projected fire protection
and the emergency services environment. Goals and objectives related to the
provision of fire protection and emergency services are also established in the Master
Plan. Finally, optimal levels of service are identified along with implementation
programs designed to achieve these service levels.
8. Riverside County good Control District Master Drainage Plan for Murrieta
Creek Area
In 1986, the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
completed the Master Drainage Plan for the Murrieta Creek area. The purpose of the
TEM-01\06GP-GROMGT · November 9, 1993 Page 6-3
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
plan was to identify and evaluate the regional drainage needs within the Murrieta
Creek area, and to recommend drainage facilities that would provide flood protection
for existing and future development. The recommended improvements consist of the
channelization of Murrieta Creek and its major tributaries. These backbone system
improvements are necessary to relieve the area of its most serious flooding problems.
Specifically, these improvements would result in the removal of a large land area
adjacent to Murrieta Creek for floodplain stares, control of stream bank erosion along
Murrieta Creek and its tributaries, and mitigation of severe flood'rag potential of Old
9. Riverside County Solid Waste Management Plan
In 1972, the State Legislature adopted the California Solid Waste Management and
Resource Recovery Act which required each county within the State to prepare a solid
waste management plan for all waste generated in the County and disposed of in or
outside of the County. In compliance with the Act, the Riverside County Solid Waste
Management Plan was prepared (recently amended in 1988), and serves as the general
guideline for waste management in the County.

II. GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
A. Introduction
Growth management and growth control re two terms in common use today. They do not
necessarily mean the same thing. Growth management may cause growth to occur at
greater or lesser degrees or in different ways than would happen if unconstrained market
forces prevailed. Mainly, it is a means of assuring that growth can be handled satisfactorily.
Growth control (sometimes referred to as "slow growth") is usually aimed solely at
constraining growth.
It is the intent of the City of Temecula to manage its growth through the adoption of a
Growth Management Element within its first General Plan. The City's decision is predicated
on the belief that it has two parallel responsibilities: 1) a responsibility within the
community to ensure that facilities and services are in place when needed to serve growth
and 2) a responsibility within Riverside County to join in a cooperative growth management
effort to effectively address the regional implications of local land use decisions and facility
planning. The Growth Management Element for Temecula addresses these two levels of
responsibility within the Growth Management Strategy and supporting goals, policies and
strategies provided below.
B. What is Growth Management?
Growth Management is the act ofinttuencing, guiding and directing the physical growth of
an area by local government. Fundamentally, all growth management systems involve
influencing directly or indirectly, one or more of the familiar components of land use
planning:
· The mount of growth
· The type of growth (nature and mix of uses)
· The pattern and location of growth
· The timing or phasing of growth
· The density or intensity of growth
· The quality of growth
The key factor distinguishing growth management ~om land use planning is its deliberate
intent to augment market forces in shaping the pace and conditions under which the
community evolves. Local governments have long used a variety of approaches to regulate
development: general plans, subdivision controls, zoning ordinances, and building codes.
These have been the traditional methods of guiding growth in American cities and, over
time, these tools have become more comprehensive and complex. Nevertheless, these
traditional approaches have often been criticized for not being effective enough in shaping
the growth desired within a community, controlling its timing, or dealing with its impacts---
particularly the infrastructure, environmental and fiscal impacts.
TIEM~)I\06GP~}RO.MGT · Novelllber 9, 1993 Page 6-5
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
Today, a wide array of growth management and control measures are in use - an
accumulation of traditional, environmental, fiscal, and capacity measures. Such measures
include: special requirements for phasing development and public improvements; limits
within which growth can occur for a prescribed period of time; special standards for
development within certain areas; incentives for some kinds of development and restrictions
on others; programs to stimulate growth at certain times and retard it at others; and systems
and procedures for administering a growth management program. The form and degree of
growth management should be tailored to the particular needs, priorities and philosophies of
the community.
The purposes of growth management, as with planning are to achieve agreed upon
physical, social, economic, environmental, and fiscal goals in a cost effective, equitable, and
politically stable manner. Equity is a major consideration in the formulation of any growth
management strategy. Critics contend that certain growth management techniques are
in~ationary, exclusionany, and often motivated by existing residents' desires for self-
enrichment at the expense of newcomers, especially the less affluent. On the other hand, the
lack of a proactive growth management program can lead to public frustration and backlash
against growth, as has been the case in many Califomia communities.
C. Growth Management Strategy for Riverside County
As previously discussed, the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) is
preparing a Growth Management Strategy for Riverside County. The Citys Growth
Management Element acknowledges and supports WRCOG's overall goal of a cooperative
growth management effort among local jurisdictions in the County. Furthermore, the
Element re'mforces and supports many of the policies of WRCOG's strategy that the City
hopes are also embraced by other jurisdictions. The successful implementation of a growth
management strategy in Riverside County depends on the voluntary and cooperative
participation of all jurisdictions.
D. Growth Management Strategy for Temecula
Managing growth does not mean stopping change or dosing the doors to new residents or
businesses. Properly designed and implemented, a comprehensive growth management
program provides a framework that will enable Temeeula to balance and accommodate
diverse and competing interests, while ensuring the quality of life expected by the citizens of
the community.
The General Plan provides an approach or "strategy" for managing growth in Temecula,
which is embodied in the goals and policies of this Element. The strategy is intended to
guide the preparation of a subsequent Growth Management Program (GMP) that will be
linked to other programs of the City, including the 5-year Capital Improvement Program,
the Congestion Management Program, fac'dities and sen ices master plans, and fee
ordinances.
TEM4}I\06GP-ORO.MGT * Iqoveltlber 9, 1993 Page 6-6
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
The Growth Management Strategy for the City of Temecula is comprised of the following
ingredients:
1. Levd of Service Standards
Level of service standards will be established for those facilities and services that are
under the direct responsib'dity of the City. These include: fire protection, police
protection, paramedic services, local flood control and drainage, solid waste
collection, and local government facilities (civic center). Level of service standards are
dependent upon a number of key factors, which are evolving over time. Such factors
include: the needs and desires of the citizens, land use panems and type of
development, and the financial ability of the City to maintain level of service. In
addition, the cost of providing and maintaining a particular level of service inherently
involves an opportunity cost or what has been sacrificed to achieve level of service.
For example, alloeafmg additional resources to the police force may mean the City has
to forego the oppommity to provide additional recreation fac'dities, day care, and other
social services that assist economically disadvantaged groups. The standards for
police, fire and paramedic services should be stated in response times and a personnel
ratio. For facilities and services such as, libraries, schools, and water supply,
coordination and negotiation with the providers is required to set and maintain
standards that are adequate for the community. The GMP should develop a system
for achieving adequacy, which would include the foliowing considerations:
· Steps to plan, finance and build the facility;
· Strategies to reduce existing or projected demand; and
· Modifications of standards.
2. Phasing Public Facilities/Services to Support Development
Guidelines will be established for requiting the needed public fac'tlities and
infi, astructure to be phased in relation to developmere. Phasing requirements would
then be tailored to individual projects prior to project approval. Specific plans should
include phasing plans that specify when facilities and inCastructure improvements will
be implemented to satisfy Level of Service standards. Large-scale development
projects should also define phasing requirements in relation to regional infrastructure
and facilities plans.
3. Inter-jurisdictional Agreements
Agreements will be sought as necessary with the County of Riverside, the City of
Murrieta, and the County of San Diego to address land use, facilities and inliastructure
decisions that have cross-jurisdictionai impacts. The agreements may involve joint
planning and review efforts to ensure that new development can be adequately
serviced. Additionally, the agreements may involve joint measures to provide
regionally significant open space corridors and the conservation of rural and
agricultural lands.
TEM-01M)6GP-GRO.MGT · November 9, 1993 Page 6-7
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth ManagemenFPublic Facilities Element
4. Direct Growth in the Urbanizeel Areas
Encourage n~v development and rehabilitation in the existing urbanized portion of the
General Plan Study Area. The GMP should evaluate and provide incentives for infill
development end intensifications where appropriate, in the urbanized area. Alternative
incentives would include such devices as: the potential use of lower fees, development
agreements, joint public/private projects, and density bonuses. The key reasons for
focusing development within the urbanized area is to improve and/or complete the
existing infrastructure systems (roads, sewer and water); to discourage inefficient leap-
flog development; and to conserve significant open space and agricultural resources.
The GMP will define priority growth areas over the next 5- to 10-year period.
Proposed development outside the priority growth areas should be evaluated based on
the following considerations:
Does the project contribute to the completion of an existing infrastructure
system?
Is there existing infrastructure nearby that can readily be extended to service the
project?
Will the project contribute to the housing supply for low and moderate income
households?
· How soon after entitlement will the project likely be constructed?
· W'~I the project help to stimulate local or regional economic recovery?
5. Village Centers
Priority growth areas include the Village Centers which are located conceptually in the
Land Use Element. Within the Village Centers, a higher intensity mix of residential,
employment, shopping and service uses would be encouraged. These mixed-use areas
will be designed with a pedestrian orientation to permit a useful share of the local trips
to be made by foot or bicycle. The design of Xrffiage Centers should make pedestrian
access to transit stops more convenient. Where current economic conditions do not
allow for future development at the desired intensities, site plans should allow for
future intensification and expansion. For example, surfF,,e parking could be planned
for future conversion tu structured parking and additional employment or residential
uses.
TEM4) 1 \06GP43RO.MGT · November 9, 1993 Page 6-8
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
6. Conserve Resources
Develop an action plan within the GMP to begin the establishment of a comprehensive
open space system. This will involve the detailed study and evaluation of the policies
and implementation techniques provided in the Open Space and Conservation
Element. A potentially effective tool that will be examined is the feasibility of a
Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program. The additional mitigation measures
contained in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report, particularly the
Recommended Riparian Corridors (Figure 19) will also be evaluated forthe GMP.
This is a critical component of the GMP due to the significance of the resources to the
long-term quality of life within the community. Prior to incorporation, the City
experienced a severe loss of open space, and shortage of parks and recreation
facilities, due to deficient park planning. Repetition of this situation, as Temecula
continues to grow, can be avoided through proactive growth management planning.

III. SUMMARY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND RELEVANT ISSUES
Facilities and services provided in Temecula may be categorized as either 1) those under the
direct responsibility and authority of the City, either directly or through contract arrangements; or
2) those under the responsibility and authority of another unit of government which are vitally
important to the well being of the City and its citizens.
The facilities and services under direct City responsibility include:
· Fire protection (contracted to Riverside County Fire Department)
· Paramedic Emergency Services (contracted to Riverside County Fire Depa~h~tent)
· Pollce/Sheritf (contracted to Riverside County Sheriffs Department)
· Civic Center
· Flood Control/Drainage (local storm drain facilities)
· Solid Waste (contracted to private companies)
The facilities and services curran~y under other governmental responsibility include:
· Library (Riverside County)
· Water Supply (lhncho Califomia Water District)
· Sanitary Sewer Facilities (Eastern Municipal Water District)
· Schools (Temecula Valley Unified School District)
· Flood Control (major facilities by Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District)
· Gas and Electric Service
The differences are significant in terms of the Citys ability to control policies, programs and
budget related to these functions. The City has direct control in the first category and therefore
exercises direct authority over level of service standards. Where contract services are provided,
such as fire and police protection, the City may address level of service standards through the
contract process.
The City may only influence decisions regarding the second category. Thus, the levels of service
may or may not be to the City's liking. In those cases, the option would be to find ways of
negotiating changes if the City desired different standards.
An additional consideration is the degree of control the City has over placing conditions of
approval on proposed developmere projects regarding public services that are impacted by a
project. Again, the City has the ability to impose conditions directly regarding the first category
and only indirectly in the second.
A. Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services
The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD), who operates in conjunction with the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF), provides fire protection
services on a contract basis to the City. The City coreract provides funding for 23.6 fire
personnel.

B. Police Protection Services
The City of Temecula contracts with the Riverside County Sheriffs Departmere for law
enforcement services. This contract provides for the assignment of thirty_one (31) swom
officers and seven non-sworn officers to the City. These officers are supported by two
lieutenants, seven sergeants and six investigators. Other manpower resources such as,
bomb disposal, emergency services team, and internal affairs investigation are provided
through various divisions with the Sheriffs Department.
The current personnel to population ratio established by the City of Temecula is one full-
time officer per 1,000 residents. This LOS standard is currently being met within the City.
The City will need to review population figures periodically and revise its contract with the
Riverside County Sheriffs Department in order to maintain this level of service concurrent
with anticipated growth.

C. Solid Waste Disposal
The City presently contracts with two private firms for solid waste disposal. Both hattiers
transport the Citl/s waste to the El Sobrante LandfilL located in unincorporated Riverside
County, south of Corona. The El Sobrante Landfill is a Class 111 landfill with a life
expectancy through the year 2002. The landJill occupies 160 acres and accepts an average
of 900 tons per day. Western Waste Industries, the owner and operator of the landfill, has
indicated that expansion of the facih'ty could increase the life expectancy. Expansion plans
are currently under preparation.
The City began implementation of its curbside recycling program in the fall of 1991. The
purpose of this program is to reduce solid waste disposal through recycling and composting
of wastes. Residents in the City separate recyclahle materials and garden materials from
their waste. Recyclable materials are transported to a center in Penis for processing.
Garden materials are hauled to a separate facility for composting, and the remaining waste is
hauled to the El Sobrante Landfill.
Sufficient landfill capacity to accommodate projected growth is an issue the City must
address. The City will adopt its Source Reduction and Re,cling Element (SSRE) in Fall,
1993, pursuant to State law. Implementation of the SSRE programs are necessary to
achieve the 25 percent diversion goal by 1995 and 50 percent diversion goal by 2000.
Libraries
The City of Temecula is a member of the Riverside County Library District. This District
maintains 25 library facilities throughout Riverside County, in both unincorporated and
incorporated areas.
A 15,000 square foot library facility has recently opened in the Walt Abraham
Administrative Center, north of W'mchester Road (Figure 6-1). The facility was originally
intended to serve residents in the southwest area of unincorporated Riverside County.
However, as a result of Temecula's incorporation, the Temecula Library is now located
within City boundaries. The library will contain 50,000 volumes and is anticipated to be
adequate to serve the current populations of the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula.
The issue of greatest importance to the Library District is adequate funding to provide for
its adopted library service standards. The standards call for 1.2 volumes and .5 square feet
of library space per capita. The District currently provides only .13 square feet and .97
volumes per capita County-wide. Revenue for the Library District is obtained from a
Special District tax collected by the County. However, the District competes with other
County agencies for this funding and therefore the level of funding to the County Library is
uncertain. Demand for libraries goes hand in hand with population increases. The library is
often seen as a community symbol, a source of community identification. Although the
Temecula Library is currently adequate to serve the population base, there will be a need in
the future for other libraries to the north, south, and east. The establishment of a local
library specific development fee to be collected by the City is one way to provide funding
TEM~)I\O6Gp-CsROMGT · NOv(~I1D~f 9, 1993 Page 6-14
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth ManagemenFPublic Facilities Element
for expanding library space.
E. Water Service
The Rancho California Water District (P, CWD) is the retail supplier of potable water to the
City. Figure 6-2 shows existing water distribution facilities in the Study Area. Eastem
Municipal Water District (EMWD) provides water service to the nonhem portions of the
Sphere of Influence. Water distributed from the Murrieta-Temecula groundwater basin
ranges ~'om 50% to 85% depending on annual rainfall. The water supply is supplemented
from imported water from the Metropolitan Water District. The RCWD has a current
annual supply capability of 59,000 acre feet which is adequate to meet current demand for
potable water. The Water District is investigating a number of sources to meet long-range
demands including upgrading existing wells, adding wells, implementing a water recharge
program, and increasing the use of reclaimed water. Reclaimed water is particularly suitable
for irrigating golf courses, greenbelts, fleeway landscaping and community parks. A
combination of these improvements will ultimately be necessary to accommodate future
demands in the City and remaining Study Area.
F. Wastewater Service
Wastewater facilities for the Study Area are provided by lEastem Municipal Water District
0iMWD). The wastewater collection system is shown in Figure 6-3. EMWD is under the
jurisdiction ofthe San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Water District is
currently meeting treatment demand in the Temecula area and is able to treat 4.25 million
gallons per day at the Rancho California Treatment Plant. Expansion of this facility will
increase treatment capacity by 10 million gallons per day by 1992 and another 10 million
gallons by 1994. Further expansion is planned by 2003, yielding another 10 million gallons
per day. It is important for EMWD to monitor increases in wastewater generated by
continuing development.

The District recently completed an expansion phase and as a result has sufficient permanem
facilities to meet current student populations through the use of permanem and interim
facilities. As shown in Table 6-3, the capacity of school facilities is greater than current
student enrollment figures. The District currently uses interim and relocatable facilities to
achieve the capacity required to accommodate student enrollment.
The availability of adequate school sites and sufficient funding is a pertinent issue to all
developing areas. The City is currently working with developers in order to designate
school facilities locations. Thus far, seven elementary sites, two middle school sites, and
TEM-01\06OP-ORO.MGT * ~lovelllber 9, 1993 Page 6-19
CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
two high school sites have been tentatively designated. The District is also investigating the
potential of obtaining three elementary school sites and a middle school ske in the General
Plan Study Area that are outside current City limits. Figure 6-4 depicts the existing and
proposed school sites within the General Plan Study Area.
H. Flood Control Facilities
Regional flood control facilities, including major channels and storm drains, are under the
jurisdiction of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The
District is currently planning flood control improvements to Murrieta Creek and its major
tributaries. Murrieta Creek lacks the capacity to convey 100-year storm flows though the
valley. As a result, severe flood damage can be expected along Murrieta Creek, particularly
in Old Town, during a 100-year event. The design of the flood control improvements is of
concern to the City, other agencies, and environmental groups, due to the significance of
biological resources along the creek and the desire for recreational trails. Furthermore,
environmental groups are concerned about how the improvements at the eastem limits of
the creek affect the resources along Pechanga Creek and the Santa Margarita River. Other
proposed regional flood control improvements are along the Santa Gemdis and Warm
Springs Channels.
In the Panba Valley, which is the watershed for Temecula and Pechanga Creeks, no
concerted effort has been made to prepare an organized plan for the development of flood
control facilities. Other than improvements required of individual projects, the Temecula
and Pechanga Creeks are in a natural state. As the City continues to grow, the lack of
storm water collection and conveyance systems will become more evident due to increased
flooding. Policies and implementation measures are incorporated in this Element to address
the need for the construction of safe, effective, and environmentally compatible flood
control facilities. The issues involved in the planning of these facilities are the:
Applicability of approvad master drainage plans;
Joint cooperation between the City and Flood Control District;
Evaluation and compatibility of current and proposed land uses in and around
existing floodplains and floodways; and
Establishing guidelines and criteria for the preservation of natural watercourses
and the development of greenbelt areas.

I. Quasi-Public Facilities
Quasi-public uses include: churches, counseling centers, cultural facilities (theatres,
auditoriums, museums, zoos, etc.), day-care facilities, medical facilities, social service
centers, and similar public-serving uses. Quasi-public uses are frequently, though not
always, ~mded and operated by non-profit organizations. Such uses differ fi'om public
facilities and services in that they do not typically have legally prescribed standards and are
not normally required as a condition of approval for private development projects. It is
common to accommodate quasi-public uses through a citys land use policies and
regulations, while prescribing special development standards. Such uses do not generally
have level of service standards. Qualitative standards are part of the evaluation and
negotiation process associated with each development project as it is proposed. To the
maximum extent possible, it is des'table to cluster quasi-public uses in activity centers,
where the facilities can reinforce other activities (such as retail or service businesses) and
benefit from the availability of other services (such as bus transportation).
J. Gas and Electric Service
Southern California Edison supplies electricity to the Study Area via underground and
overhead lines. SCE's main substation is located on Mira Loma Drive in the City of
Temecula. SCE is a public utility, and therefore functions on demand. Exlemions for
electrical service to new developments are governed by rules established by the Public
Utilities Commission of Califomia. The hierarchy of establishing electrical power lines from
generation stations to customers is as follows: transmission line; sub-transmission line; and
service line. Figure 6-5 locates the existing transmission lines in the community which cany
the main electrical supply to smaller distribution lines.
Natural gas is provided by the Southern California Gas Company (SCGC). Plastic and steel
underground lines are located throughout the Study Area. A small number of residents not
serviced by SCGC ufdize bottled propane or butane fuel. Existing gas lines are shown on
Figure 6-6.

Goal 2
Orderly and efficient patterns of growth within Temecula that enhance the
quality of life for residents.
Discussion
The Growth Management Strategy contained in this Element is intended to be the
timework for a future Growth Management Program (GMP). This GMP should be
designed to influence adequacy of public facilities and services in relation to the
location, phasing type, quality and intensity of new development and redevelopment.
It should also take into consideration the existing communities and resources of
Temecula, the Sphere of influence, and Environmental Study Area. All the policies of
this Element, in essence, support this goal.

Promote community awareness regarding drug use and gangs through the
Police Department, Community Service Department, and public service
organizations.
Goal 4
A quality school system that contains adequate facilities and funding to educate
the youth of Temecuh.
Discussion
Adequate school facilities and funding are necessary to ensure that the high quality of
education is extended to future residents of the City. Mitigating impacts of
development on the school system through the provision of school sites, imposition of
statutory development fees and negotiated development fees as permitted by law, as
well as providing information to the School District, are the primary mechanisms to
sustain quality educational services.

Goal 6
A water and wastewater infrastructure system that supports existing and future
devdopment in the Study Area.
Discussion
Water availability is a critical determinant in Southern Califomia's future growth and
development. By working closely with the Rancho California Water District and
Eastem Municipal Water District in developing supply options; conservation
techniques, including the use of reclaimed water; and development monitoring systems,
the City can erasure that development does not outspace the long-term availability of
water. Close coordination with Eastem Municipal Water District in the timely
expansion of wastewater treatment facilities is equally important to the community's
well-being

Goal 7 An effective, safe and environmentally compatible flood control system.
Discussion
As urb~tion increases, so does the potential for disruption caused by flooding and
inadequate flood control facilities. Local and regional flood control facilities need to be
comprehensively planned to protect existing areas and future development ~'om flood
baTards. As urban and suburban development increases, nmoffincreases by replacing
permeable surfaces with pavement and structures. The potential of overloading
existing drainage facilities is a concern that must be addressed comprehensively in the
Study Area.
Policy 7.1

Prepare a City of Temecula Master Drainage Plan which incorporates the
Murrieta Creek Area Drainage Plan and additional planning efforts into one
document.
Develop master drainage plans, when appropriate, for the Sphere of Influence,
in conjunction with the Flood Control District.
Goal 8
A solid waste management system that provides for the safe and efficient
collection, transportation, recovery and disposal of solid wastes.
Discussion
The increasing amount of solid waste disposed of yearly, and the growing problem of
the lack of available landfill sites has resulted in an awareness for the need for source
reduction and recycling. The City will adopt a Source Reduction and Recycling
Element that focuses on the diversion of waste ~'om landfills through source reduction
and recycling strategies.
Policy 8.1
Coordinate with the County of Riverside to provide and expand service for the
collection, storage, transportation, recovery, and disposal of solid waste to

V. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS
A. Growth Management Program
Prepare a Growth Management Program for Temecula that is linked to other City
programs, including the 5-year Capital Improvement Program, the Congestion Management
Program, facilities and services master plans, end fee ordinances. The Growth Management
Strategy, provided in the Growth Management/Public Facilities Element, should guide the
scope and focus of the Plan.
B. Fire, Emergency Medical, and Police Protection Services

other ordinances to address crime prevention. Such criteria may include:
· Proper street and walkway lighting;
· Adequate off-street parking;

surveillance and minimize places for concealment; and
· Door, walkway and window locations in building design that permits
surveillance from the street.
2. Periodically evaluate levels of sheriff; fire and emergency medical services, based on
changes in population end development, with the County service providers.
Consider the establishment of a Fire Facilities Impact Fee whereby new development
projects are assessed a pro-rata fee to pay for fire protection facilities and equipment
that serve the development.
C. School Facilities
Request the School District to provide the City with information concerning potential
impacts associated with proposed residential development. The information should
include a status report of the available school facilities to serve proposed projects. To
the extent that adequate school facilities are not available on a timely basis, the City
will seek to assist the District and developers in arriving at a solution to provide
adequate school facilities, as permitted by law.
Coordinate with developers and the School District to ensure that school sites are
adequately sized and located to meet increases in demand. Require proposed projects
with school sites to include a phasing plan that links projea development with the
provision of a school facility when needed.

CITY OF TEMECULA Growth Management/Public Facilities Element
Since S.B. 1287 places substantial constraints on the City in this area, the City will
enter into a continuing dialogue among interested pardes to ereate an implementation
program that is in compliance with state law and meets the needs of the School
District and the City's needs for adequate and affordable hous'mg and economic
development. Should S.B. 1287 be repealed as a result of rejection of Proposition 170
on the state-wide ballot November 2, 1993, the City Council shall establish a school
mitigation resolution which specifies the procedures to be followed by the City,
School District, and developers in order to determine school fac'dities impact
associated with residential development, available sources of funding for school
facilities necessitated by such development and the appropriate mitigation measures.
The resolution would provide for procedures consistent with those under County
Resolution 93-131, which apply to the County portion of the Tamecula Valley Unified
School District, as permitted by law.
D. Public/Quasi-Public Fac'~ities
Identify and solicit fuming from additional sources to supplement cultural,
community, and library facilities and services. Such funding sources may include: state
and federal grants and loans, public and private donations, sponsorships by local and
national corporations, and other private individuals and groups.
Encourage the County to provide a range of health related fac'dities in the Study Area
to meet the needs of the growing population including rehabilitation centers, walk:m
medical centers, clinics, and full-service hospitals.
3. Encourage the designation offand for religious institutions, where deemed necessary
or desirable, within master planned communities.
4. Coordinate with the County of Riverside in the location, facilities, and services of new
branch libraries needed to serve existing and future development.
5. Consider the establishment of a local library impact fee to offset the cost of providing
new libraries facilities to serve new development.
6. Work with the development community in the selection and dedication of land for a
future cMc center.
Evaluate the feasibility of establishing a staff position for a Community Services
Officer. The Officer would coordinate and disseminate information on public/private
cultural events, volunteer opportunities, and community organizations; and assist new
families in becoming familiar with the community.
