Memorandum of Understanding with Caltrans for
Access Management on State Route 79
PREPARED BY:
RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
Steve Jiannino
Review and Discussion of Draft Memorandum of
Understanding.
Attached for your review is a draft Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between Caltrans and the City of
Temecula. The intent of the MOU is to define access
spacing to State Route 79 for the entire corridor within the
City of Temecula prior to each agency reviewing individual
development projects. The MOU should eliminate past
conflict between the two agencies regarding appropriate
access management for the SR79 Corridor.
The MOU is still in draft format at this time. Your review
and comment of this document is greatly appreciated.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DRAFT
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is between the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Temecula (the City). The MOU covers
intersection and driveway location spacing. The purpose of this MOU is to provide
guidelines for the City and Caltrans to use in reviewing and approving new
development along State Route 79. Route 79 enhancements shall be made through
Developer contributions and assessment district funding administered by Riverside
County.
The basic understanding is as follows:
Route 79 shall have three lanes for through traffic and up to two lanes
for local traffic turning movements in each direction. Realignment may
be necessary upon future development along Route 79. The City shall
protect the right-of-way for Route 79 realignment.
North Route 79 (Winchester Road) is to have 1/0, mile spacing for
intersections with 1/8 mile spacing for limited access (i.e. right in,
right out only access) driveways from 1-15 to Margarita Road. From
Margarita Road to Murrieta Hot Springs Road the spacing shall be
mile intersections or driveways. Intersection spacing beyond Murrleta
Hot Springs Road will be 1/2 mile. Approvals prior to the date of this
MOU are excepted.
South Route 79 is to have 1/2 mile intersection spacing ( prior approvals
accepted) from 1-15 to Anza Road with 1/0, mile limited access driveways
li.e. right in, right out only access).
Driveway and Intersection design shall be developed in accordance with
policies, procedures, practices and standards Caltrans and the City
would normally follow.
Caltrans and the City may in the future discuss dedication of the
current Right-of-Way for Route 79 to the City of Temecula. An attempt
shall be made to establish an alternative Route 79 alignment prior to the
adoption of the City~s General Plan.

This project was continued from the April 1, 1991
meeting because the Planning Commission was
concerned about not being able to visit the site and
the applicant was not present to address any
commission questions. The project was continued
once again from the June 17, 1991 Planning
Commission meeting at the request of staff due to
the length of the June 17, 1991 agenda.
The applicant has been unable to set up times to
enable the Planning Commissioners to visit the site.
The applicant has, therefore, provided a photo
survey of the site to hopefully address the
commissioners concerns regarding the project. The
commission did not discuss the item other than
request a possible visit to the site.

Planning Area No.: 37
Tract No.: 23371-1
Total Units: 107
Acres: 23.7
Density: 4.6 DU/AC
BACKGROUND:
Substantial Conformance No. 11 and Change of Zone
No. 9 were filed concurrently on January 9, 1991.
The cases were filed for Planning Area 37 of Specific
Plan No. 199 (Margarita Village). The Margarita
Village Specific Plan was adopted by the County of
Riverside on September 6, 1988. Planning Area 37
is composed of 107 single family units on 23.7 acres.
The overall density is approximately 4.6 dwelling
units per acre.
As part of its model program, the Buie Corporation
has bonded and constructed a four-plex within
Planning Area 37, with proper City permits. The
applicant now requests the proposed Change of
Zone and Substantial Conformance to allow the
single model four-plex to remain and be utilized as
a permanent unit.
PROPOSAL:
Substantial Conformance No. 11
The applicant is requesting a letter of substantial
conformance from the Planning Commission to add
language to the housing types allowed in the
specific plan. Currently, the subject Planning Area
is approved for 107 patio homes. In order to
conform to the specific plan, the applicant proposes
to add the words "duplexes, four-plexes" to patio
homes. The addition of this language would bring
the four-plex unit into specific plan conformance.
The applicant is not proposing to construct any
additional units on the proposed site. The density
will remain the same, and with the exception of the
STAFFRPT\SC11 2
existing model four-plex, the balance of the units
will be patio homes. The proposed substantial
conformance will not affect any other portion of the
specific plan because other Planning Areas
designated Medium Density Residential allow
duplexes and four-plexes with each Planning Area
allowed a maximum number of units independent of
the housing type.
Chanqe of Zone No. 9
The proposed change of zone is an application to
amend a section of Ordinance 348.2922 (Specific
Plan No, 199). The change in question is page56 of
the subject ordinance.
In order for the existing four-plex to remain in
Planning Area 37, the zone (Specific Plan No. 199)
must be changed to reflect language which permits
the duplex/four-plex unit. By changing the zone
requirements, the unit would be in conformance
with Ordinance 348. 2922.
As previously stated, no new units are proposed,
and the density will remain the same. The change
of zone will bring the existing unit into conformance
with ordinance requirements.
ZONING CONSISTENCY:
The proposed change of zone and substantial
conformance are being requested in order to bring
an existing four-plex into conformance with the
approved specific plan. If the change of zone and
substantial conformance are not approved, the
existing model four-plex will be demolished,
removed, and replaced by a production patio home.
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
The proposed projects are consistent with the SWAP
land use designation of SP (Specific Plan Area).
Staff finds it probable that this project will be
consistent with the new General Plan when it is
adopted.
Staff has determined that Change of Zone No. 9 and
Substantial Conformance No. 11 are exempt from the
CEQA requirements as defined in to Section 15061
of the CEQA guidelines.
STAFFRPT\SC11 3
FINDINGS:
Chanqe of Zone No. 9
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 9 will be consistent with the
City~s future General Plan, which will be
completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with State law, due to the fact
that the subject request is consistent with
the density which is already approved for the
existing specific plan, and the proposed
change is relatively similar in character to
the approved project.
There is not a likely probability of
substantial detriment to or interference with
the future General Plan, if Change of Zone
No. 9 is ultimately inconsistent with the plan,
due to the fact that an approval of the change
of zone does not represent a significant
change in the current land use approval.
The project is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The proposed project is consistent
with the zoning ordinance.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area, due to the
fact that the proposed density is consistent
with the zoning ordinance and approved
specific plan.
Substantial Conformance No. 11
The project as modified meets the intent and
purpose of the adopted specific plan in that it
does not represent a change in land use
category or density.
The project as modified is consistent with the
findings and conclusions contained in the
resolution adopting the specific plan in that
no significant changes are proposed and the
project is exempt from CEQA guidelines.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. That the Temecula Planning Commission hereby
makes the following findings:
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65360, a newly
incorporated city shall adopt a general plan within thirty (30) months
following incorporation. During that 30-month period of time, the city
is not subject to the requirement that a general plan be adopted or the
requirements of state law that its decisions be consistent with the
general plan, if all of the following requirements are met:
(1) The city is proceeding in a timely fashion with the
preparation of the general plan.
( 2 ) The planning agency finds, in approving projects and
taking other actions, including the issuance of building
permits, each of the following:
STAFFRPT\SC11 6
(a)
There is a reasonable probability that the
land use or action proposed will be consistent
with the general plan proposal being
considered or studied or which will be
studied within a reasonable time.
(b)
There is little or no probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
adopted general plan if the proposed use or
action is ultimately inconsistent with the
plan.
(c)
The proposed use or action complied with all
other applicable requirements of state law and
local ordinances.
B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the
Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP") was adopted
prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the
southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within
the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as
its General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely
fashion with the preparation of its General Plan.
C. The Planning Commission in recommending approval of the
proposed Change of Zone, makes the following findings, to wit:
a)
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 9 will be consistent with the
City's future General Plan, which will be
completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with State law, due to the fact
that the subject request is consistent with
the density which is already approved for the
existing specific plan, and the proposed
change is relatively similar in character to
the approved project.
b)
There is not a likely probability of
substantial detriment to or interference with
the future General Plan, if Change of Zone
No. 9 is ultimately inconsistent with the plan,
due to the fact that an approval of the change
of zone does not represent a significant
change in the current land use approval.
STAFFRPT\SC11 7
c)
The project is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The proposed project is
consistent with the zoning ordinance.
d)
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area, due to the
fact that the proposed density is consistent
with the zoning ordinance and approved
specific plan.
D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. Environmental Compliance.
Based on the criteria established in Section 15061.3 of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Change of Zone No, 9 has been determined to be exempt.
SECTION 3.

Tentative Parcel Map No. 260,88 (TPM 260,88) was
initially submitted to the City of Temecula for
review and consideration on September lu,, 1990.
Subsequent Development Review Committee
consideration followed on November 8, 1990 and
again on January 3, 1991.
As originally submitted, the map proposed
residential subdivision of the subject site into 0,
each 1/2+/- acre parcels, with a remainder parcel of
approximately 13/u, acres. The initial proposal has
been redesigned and submitted with an appropriate
zone change request based on Staff concerns
regarding the disparity in land use between that
requested and that allowed by the underlying
R-A-2 1/2 land use zoning ~1/2 acre parcels
A:PM26~88 2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A: PM26~,88
proposed vs. 2 1/2 acre minimum allowed by the
zone district), as well as concerns arising from the
initial lot configurations. As initially designed, the
map proposed steep access gradients,
disproportionate lot length/width ratios, limited
availability of buildable terrain, further complicated
by the land use difficulties inherent maps proposing
small remainder parcels.
As indicated above, in response to Staff design and
land use consideration/concerns, the applicant has
submitted an appropriate Change of Zone request
{R-A-2 1/2 to R-1-1) allowing subdivision at the 1
gross acre parcel density proposed, which is
consistent with recent zone changes and land
divisions in the area. Further, the Tentative Map
has been redesigned eliminating the 'lremainder"
originally proposed, thereby providing greater
acreage for each residential lot, which in turn
allows the design currently proposed incorporating
internal, centralized access, and lots with more
tenable dimensions and building areas.
The applicant proposes a residential subdivision of
just over ~, gross acres, realizing ~, residential lots
averaging approximately 1 gross acre each. The
project site is located in a rural but developing area
of the City, southeasterly of Nicolas and Butterfield
Stage Roads.
Utilities available to the project include: - Electric Power JSo. Calif. Edison)
- Natural Gas (So. Calif. Gas Co. )
- Potable Water { Rancho Water District)
- Sewage Disposal ( On-site septic system
designed per County Environmental
Health Standards)
- Telephone (GTE); and
- Cable Television ( Inland Valley
Cablevision ).
Abutting rights-of-way are currently unimproved.
Paved access to the project vicinity ends on Walcott
Lane at a point approximately l/u, to 1/2 mile south
of the proposed Parcel Map. Several unimproved
off-road trails traverse the site.
Terrain of the subject site consists primarily of a
large knoll, increasing in elevation from north to
south. On-site grade differential between highest
and lowest points is approximately 60 feet, with
slopes ranging from 12%-20%. Existing vegetation
3
ANALYSIS:
on the project site is primarily native grasses with
evident disturbance by human activity; e.g., off-
road trails, litter, etc. Mature landscaping exists
on adjacent properties. No significant anlmal
habitat was detected though the site is likely
inhabitated by common species of rodents, small
reptiles and insects. Further consideration of this
proposal's specific merits is contained in the
following project analysis.
Land Use Compatibility
The requested Change of zone district from
R-A-2 1/2 to R-1-1 reflects on-going urbanization
of the general area surrounding the subject site.
Recent project approvals in the vicinity of Tentative
Parcel Map No. 26~,88 {e.g., CZ 56631, TPM 25212)
have allowed subdivision of land at densities similar
to that requested by this proposal. Further to the
south, land has been subdivided at even greater
densities in conjunction with larger scale tract home
developments. Additionally, the recommended
Southwest Area Plan density for the subject site is
1-2 dwelling units/acre. Densities at the lower end
of this range are considered appropriate at present
pending extension of necessary support services,
primarily roads and sewers, to the area in question.
As such, the proposed change in land use
designation allowing residential subdivision of
property at a density of one dwelling unit/acre is
considered compatible with land use(s) currently in
the vicinity of the subject site.
Access
Legal access to the site as a whole is provided by
dedicated City rights-of-way, e.g., Walcott Lane
and Calle Chapos, both of which are currently
recommended as 66' width right-of-way dedications
adjacent to the subject site I reference Exhibit D) .
Both road frontages as well as the cul-de-sac
indicated on Exhibit D will be improved to provide
all weather access prior to occupancy of residences
which may be eventually constructed on the
proposed parcels.
I reprovemerit of affected rights-of-way per Schedule
H map standards will, as a minimum, be bonded for
prior to final map recordat/on.

DETERMINATION:
Map Design
Applicant responses to the issues discussed above
are reflected primarily in the map design currently
proposed (Exhibit D). The map, as presently
configured, is included in the project staff report.
Specifically, the map was redesigned to eliminate
the remainder parcel initially proposed, and also
provide centralized common access to all proposed
parcels via a public cul-de-sac connecting to Walcott
Lane. The current design of the proposed map also
reflects Staff concerns regarding appropriate
residential )and use densities currently applicable
to the subject site.
In summary, the proposed parcel map, together
with the requested change of zone from R-A-2 1/2
to R-1-1, and mitigation measures specified in the
project Conditions of Approval, provide for
development compatible with City land use and
subdivision standards, ordinances and policies.
Further, the Initial Environmental Assessment
conducted for the project has determined its
compliance with applicable sections of the California
Environmental Quality Act I C. E. Q. A. ).
As discussed in the preceding portions of this Staff
Report, proposed Change of Zone No. 15 and
Tentative Parcel Map No. 26~,88 comply with
applicable 5tare and City land use and subdivision
ordinances/policies currently in affect. Further,
the map together with the requested change in land
use designation are both compatible with the
Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) guidelines for the
subject property, which recommend residential
development at 1-2 dwelling units/acre l raference
exhibit C) . SWAP guidelines will likely comprise the
basis utilized in the currently developing City
General Plan.
Accordingly, it is likely that Change of Zone No. 15
and Tentative Parcel Map No. 26u,88 will both
substantially conform to the CityIs General Plan
goals, objectives, and directives affecting the
subject property.
An Initial Environmental Assessment has been
prepared for Change of Zone No. 15 (CZ 15) which
has determined that the proposed zone change could
not have a significant effect on the environment.
A: PM26q88 5
The environmental analysis prepared for Tentative
Parcel Map No. 26L~88 concludes with the finding
that "although the proposed use could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in the case under
consideration because the measures specified in the
project~s Conditions of Approval mitigate significant
potential adverse impacts."
FINDINGS:
Chanqe of Zone No. 15
The proposed zone change will not have a
significant adverse effect on the
environment, as determined in the initial
study performed for this project. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is not a reasonable probability of
substantial detriment to, or interference
with, the future and adopted General Plan, if
the proposed use or action is ultimately
inconsistent with the plan. The project is not
of significant scope in the context of city-
side and regional development patterns.
The proposed change in district classification
is reasonable and beneficial at this time as it
is a logical expansion of residential uses
which exist in the vicinity of the project site.
The proposed change in district classification
from R-A-2 1/2 to R-1-1 will likely be
consistent with the goals, policies and action
programs which will be contained in the
General Plan when it is ultimately adopted.
The density and land use proposed are
consistent with the Southwest Area Plan
(SWAP) recommendations for the subject
property. Further, densities and uses
proposed are similar to existing densities and
uses in the vicinity of the project.
The site of the proposed change in district
classification is suitable to accommodate all
the land uses currently permitted in the
proposed zoning district as it is of adequate
size and shape for the proposed residential
use. Possible land use conflicts are not likely
to arise as the project proposes residential
uses similar to those existing in the general
vicinity of the subject site.
A:PM26~88 6
Adequate access exists for the proposed
residential land use from Walcott Lane and
Calle Chapos. Additional internal access and
required road improvements abutting
proposed lots will be designed and
constructed in conformance with City
standards.
That said findings are supported by analysis,
minutes, maps, exhibits, and environmental
documents associated with this application
and hereln incorporated by reference.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 26488
The proposed Parcel Map will not have
significant negative impact on the
environment, as determined in the Initial
Environmental Assessment prepared for
Tentative Parcel Map No. 26488. A Negative
Declaration is recommended for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that this
proposal will be consistent with the General
Plan being prepared at this time. The map
together with the attendant zone change
request are consistent with applicable
subdivision and land use ordinances, and
conform with the City's 5outhwest Area Plan
{SWAP) guidelines affecting the subject
property.
There is not a likely probability of
substantial detriment to, or interference
with, the future adopted General Plan, if the
proposed use is ultimately inconsistent with
the plan. The project is consistent with
surrounding development, and does not
logically have the potential to generate
significant adverse environmental impacts.
The proposed use or action complies with City
and State planning and zoning laws.
Reference local Ordinances No. 348, 460,
California Governmental Code Sections 65000-
66009 ( Planning Zoning Law ), and
Government Code Title 7, Division 2.
A:PM26488 7
10.
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of parcel configurations, access, and
density. The project has access to public
rights-d-way, and is designed with
sufficient parcel acreage allowing appropriate
building pad sitings.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the built or natural
environment as determined in the initial study
prepared for this project. Reference the
attached initial Environmental Study and
Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel
Map No. 260,88.
The design of the subdivision, the type of
improvements and the resulting street layout
are such that they are not in conflict with
easements for access through or use of the
property within the proposed project as
conditioned. Easement dedications are not
evident in grant deeds describing the
property.
The site for the proposed use is provided
legal access via Walcott Lane and Calle
Chapos public rights-of-way. Development
of these roads shall comply with City
Engineering Conditions of Approval contained
hereln.
The proposed project will not inhibit or
restrict future ability to use active or passive
solar energy systems. Adequate lot areas
and exposures are provided for these
alternatives.
The proposed use will not have a substantial
adverse affect on abutting properties or the
permitted use thereof. The proposed map
provides for residential development similar
in character and densities evident on vicinity
properties. Land use incongruities and
associated adverse affects arising from
implementation of this proposal are unlikely.

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildllfe
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? {A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future. )
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? {A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant. )
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? __

1.f.
1.g.
2.a-c.
3.b,c.
3.d.
No. The project does not propose excavation or invasion of significant
geologic substructures.
Maybe. At full realization, the project may involve construction of up
to four (u,) new residences; with the necessary attendant grading and
compaction. Due to the limited scale of this project, environmental
impacts of soil disruption should be insignificant.
No. Construction pad grading of the subject site is anticipated should
residential construction eventually occur. Given the project~s limited
scale, impacts will be restricted to the immediate site. No significant
impact.
No. No unique geologic nor physical features exist on the subject site.
No. The project, if fully realized, will result in only minor
overcoverlng of natural terrain. Substantial increase in erosion .of on
and off site soil is highly improbable.
No. The project does not propose elements or activities that will likely
modify existing erosion patterns affecting beach sands and river/stream
beds.
No. No construction is proposed in known earthquake, landslide, or
similar hazard zones.
No. The project is of insignificant scale in the context of City-wide and
regional development. Ambient air qualities should not be noticeably
affected.
No. No development activities are proposed that could foreseeably
impact rivers, streams, ocean beds, inlets or lakes.
No. Localized runoff patterns may change subsequent to eventual
construction of a new residence. However, due to the limited scale of
this proposal and relative distance from marine and fresh waters, these
ecologic features should not be impacted to any degree of significance.
No. There may be a nominal increase in off-site bodies of water volumes
due to increased runoff from the subject site should residential
construction eventually occur. No realizable impacts.
No. Assuming residential construction ensues approval of this project,
runoff characteristics of the subject site may be altered, including
minor fluctuations in runoff characteristics such as temperature,
dissolved oxygen, and turbldity. However, impacts of any significance
are unlikely.

No. Percolation rates of the project site will likely decrease subsequent
to eventual residential construction, thereby decreasing ground water
recharge rates. As possible new construction will likely consist of four
lu,) or fewer residences, impacts of such limited development will likely
be insignificant.
No. Potential water consumption of the few single family residences
which may result from this proposal are insignificant in the context of
City-wide development.
No. The project site is not subject to identified flood hazard nor tidal
inundation.
No. Subsequent to subdivision of the property in question, and in
conjunction with eventual residential construction, native species on
the subject site may be replaced with new plant species, i.e., turf,
non-indigenous shrubs, trees, etc. Significant impacts are unlikely.
Endangered/unique vegetative species are not currently present on the
subject property. The subject site supports no agricultural crops at
present.
No. Eventual residential construction may displace insignificant
numbers of typical native animals and insect species. Environmental
consequences will be negligible.
No. The subject property does not serve as identified habitat for any
endangered species of animals or fish. Such species do not currently
inhabit the project site.
No. Elimination of insignificant habitat may eventually occur should
residences be constructed. No noticeable impacts are anticipated.
Mitigation of regional destruction/displacement of Stephen's Kangaroo
Rat and habitat is mitigated by appropriate fee payment as per
attachment No. 5 of this Staff Report.
Maybe.
No.
Ambient noise levels on the subject property may increase
should construction activities ensue approval of this parcel
map. Long term noise level increases are also a logical
consequence of eventual development of the project site.
Overall noise level increase are considered insignificant in
a City-wide context.
No. Residential construction subsequent to parcelization of the subject
site will contribute only nominally to ambient light levels.
No. Full project realization may result in construction of new
residences at a greater density than present zoning of the property
allows. Approval of the attendant Zone Change Request (CZ No. 15)
will provide for subdivision of the subject slte as requested. Noticeable
impacts should be negligible given the trend toward increased densities
of residential development in the vicinity of this proposal.

No. Eventual construction and habitation of additional residences,
which may result subsequent to project approval, will not significantly
affect resource consumption rates.
No. Hazardous substances of any significant quantity are not, nor will
be located on the subject site.
No. The project site is not within an identified emergency
response/evacuation plan movement corridor.
Maybe. The proposal may eventually contribute a nominal quantity of
additional residences to the regional population with no discernable
impacts.
Maybe. The proposal at full realization, will result in the potential
addition of four {u,) single family residences to the region's housing
stocks. Impacts are insignificant.
No. The addition of four (4) single family residences subsequent to full
project realization will not contribute significantly to average daily
traffic to and from the project site.
Maybe. The project could possibly contribute approximately 8-12
additional parking spaces subsequent to eventual construction
activities. Effects on parking availability are considered insignificant.
No. Traffic will eventually commute to and from a currently vacant lot
which may eventually accommodate single family residences. Existing
traffic volumes and circulation patterns should not be noticeably
affected.
No. Waterborne, rail, and air traffic routes of significance are non-
existent in the vicinity of the project site.
No. Slight increases in localized traffic volumes, may increase the
possibility of traffic hazards. Increases in hazards above existing
levels are considered insignificant.
Maybe. All subdivision proposals may eventually increase demands on
public services. Such demands are partially mitigated and financed by
property taxes, user fees, assessment districts, developer impact fees,
etc. Impacts of this individual proposal will not be significant.
No. Impacts on other governmental services have not been identified
at this time.
No. Eventual construction and habitation of single family residences
should only nominally affect consumption and stores of energy sources.
No. Nominal extensions of individual service lines may eventually be
required. Impacts are considered insignificant.

No. The project may eventually result in construction and habitation
of single family residences; which is not normally associated with the
creation of health hazards. Further, no health hazards have been
identified on the project site.
No. Identified vistas of significance do not exist in the immediate
vicinity of the project site.
No. The project site is not an identified recreational amenity. Further,
use of existing recreational facilities should increase only nominally at
full project realization.
No. Due to the disturbed nature of the project site and surrounding
area, presence of historic or prehistoric archaeologic resources is
highly unlikely.
No. No religious or sacred facilities are present on or in the vicinity of
the project.
No. Reference items 1 - 20.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed Change of Zone (CZ No. 15)
COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed Tentative Parcel Map
(TPM No. 260,88) could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect on
this case because the mitigation measures described
on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

Centlemen:
We o~n the 2~ acres to the south, adjoining lit. Vanderwall's property
and 5 acres across the street from the southwest corner of the Vanderwall
property.
Our major concern is whether the Planning Commission plans to impose a
house only restriction. All of the properties south of Hr. Vandervallvs
property have custom homes built on them. North and west of the property,.
the area is spattered with mobile homes, many of which are in serious
need of upkeep. Host have illegal barns and sheds which are an eyesore
to the area.
Another concern is what does the Planning Commission plan to do with the
road? Allowing a property split will generate more traffic on our dirt
road. An it stands now, I personally (with no help from the neighbors
and certainly not from the city) grade one (1) mile of dirt road to make
this accessible during the rainy season. Hare traffic will create more
work for me. This is not what I pay taxes for.
In s ........ ~ry, we would not oppose the property split providing the Planning
Comm~ssion paces an Irrevocable "homes OZLty' restriction On the property
and providing the city is committed to at least maintenance of the dirt
road if paving is not a consideration.
If the above concerns are not incorporated as conditions to the splits
we then adamantly oppose this subdivision.

Plot Plan No. 226 was submitted to the City of
Temecula Planning Department on March 6, 1991.
The proposal was considered by the City
Development Review Committee ( DRC ) on a
preliminary basis on April 11, 1991. Primary
design/informational issues identified by the City
DRC at that time were as follows:
Additional landscaping adjacent to, and
architectural articulation of, southerly and
easterly facing building elevation was
requested in order to mitigate the visual
impacts of the initial design of these
structures.
Proposed landscaping and parking lot
shading, as originally submitted, was
insufficient in area coverage as specified by
City ordinance. Compliance with adopted
planting standards and schedules was
requested.
Minor architectural features such as utility
fixture/trash enclosure should incorporate
building materials similar to those proposed
for the project's primary structures.
Articulated landscape betruing {minimum of 3
feet in height) was requested as a means of
street scene enhancement along the project~s
Pauba and Margarita Road frontages.
A:PP226 2
Further identification and enhancement of
project entrances was suggested. Possible
design elements accomplishing this might
include textured pavers in, and placement of,
large boulders or landscape planters adjacent
to the project site entrances.
The City Engineer requested additional
information and detail regarding proposed
grading and drainage improvements.
Further, proposed building "C" as originally
designed did not provide adequate rear areas
for pedestrian ingress/egress to this
structure~s rear doorways initially proposed.
This latter concern was reiterated by the
DRC~s Riverside County Fire Department
representative.
A site specific traffic study was deemed
necessary in order to identify project traffic
impacts and appropriate mitigation.
Minor driveway and parking reconfiguration/
redesign was requested. The initially
proposed drive width improvements accessing
Pauba Road were considered inadequate and
were specified by the City Transportation
Engineer to be 30 feet minimum width with full
improvements.
Additionally, it was suggested that the
applicant reconsider proposed locations of
loading zones and handicap accessible
parking spaces, minimizing potential internal
site traffic circulation conflicts.
Riverside County Fire Department concerns
generally focused on proper site circulation
and access requirements for emergency
vehicles. Specifically, the drive accessing
Pauba Road was specified to be fully
improved as referenced in #8 above.
Further, the proposed openings at the rear
of Building "C" would require not only wider
pedestrian access, but full-wldth
improvements allowing for ingress/egress by
emergency vehicles as well. Alternatively, it
was suggested proposed rear door openings
be removed.
A: PP226 3
ANALYSIS:
Applicant responses, including proposed design
solutions to the above referenced issues are
contained in the following project analysis.
Land Use and Architectural Compatibility
The proposed use is identified as one of those
allowed under the subject site's current zoning
designation of Scenic Highway - Commercial J C-P-S )
{ Reference Exhibit B ). Further, as the
surrounding properties are currently vacant, the
City has the opportunity to ensure compatibility of
this project's architectural design with future
development through architectural review of
additional projects which may eventually be
constructed in the vicinity of Plot Plan No. 226.
Materials and design elements proposed by the
applicant are considered compatible with the design
guidelines currently observed by the City. As
such, the project is considered compatible with
current development standards and ordinances
affecting the proposal site and neighboring
properties.
Proposed landscaping as currently indicated
provides additional aesthetic enhancement to the
site and adjacent street. Planting and irrigation
schemes are in keeping with City policies regarding
water conservation and use of drought-tolerant
vegetative species. Installation of proposed
landscaping will be secured by means of bonding
adequate to cover costs of landscape installation
plus one J 1 ) year maintenance. Actual installation
timeJ s) of proposed landscaping is contingent upon
weather conditions and irrigation water availability.
Site Access
The site is currently accessible by Margarita and
Pauba Roads, both of which will be improved to
their designed half-width standards adjacent to this
proposal as a condition of project approval
{reference PP 226, Conditions of Approval
Attachment No.
Project related traffic impacts as documented by the
traffic study submitted by the applicant, are
mitigated by signalization and public facilities fees,
also specified in the attached Conditions of
Approval. { Reference also Attachment No. 5 - "Fee
Checklist". )
A: PP226 4
Access into the site proper is provided by 2, two-
way drives, one each accessing adjacent road
frontages. As revised, the Pauba Road drive
access will be improved to its full design width of 30
feet. The location of this drive, which is bisected
by the project slte~s westerly property line, also
provides for shared access to anticipated commercial
development immediately to the west, thereby
red ucl ng ex it/entrance trips between sites utili z i ng
Pauba Road as their primary access.
Parkinq and On-Site Circulation
Current auto and bicycle parking ratios planned for
this proposal are considered adequate to support
parking demands based on the variety of allowable
occupancies. Significant change in proposed
occupancies will mandate site/user-specific parking
demand analyses with corresponding modifications
to vehicle parking provisions if deemed necessary.
The applicant has also incorporated design
al Iowances faci l itati ng futu re shared access between
the property in question and the westerly adjacent
parcel as discussed previously. Shared access is
graphically portrayed in Exhibit D. Proposed
easement documentation/agreements and drive
construction plans for this site access point have
been reviewed by the City Engineering Department
and are considered acceptable.
Alternative trash enclosure and loading zone
locations which might facilitate traffic circulation
within the project site were also investigated by the
applicant. The loading zone and enclosure locations
currently indicated by Exhibit D are considered
appropriate by the proposalis prospective tenants
as well as the affected trash pick-up service and the
City Engineering Department.
Access to the rear of proposed Building ~C", as
revised, allows for adequate emergency vehicle
response capabilities as required by the Riverside
County Fire Department. As a corollary,
pedestrian access at the rear of this building has
also been redesigned to eliminate potential conflicts
with rear door openings. Guard railings indicated
along the walkway at the rear of the structure
reduce the possibility of accidental falls down the
abutting slope to the north. Railings as designed
are in accordance with applicable City and Uniform
Building Code Standards.
A: PP226 5
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
Gradinq and Drainaqe
As redesigned and specified, proposed on-site
drainage improvements are considered adequate to
convey 100 year storm discharge volumes. Design
modifications initiated by the applicant also included
relocation and redesign of proposed off-site
drainage structures adjacent to the northerly
property boundary of the subject site,
Changes in the project~s original grading plans, as
initiated by the applicant, included a significant
gradient ratio increase (2:1 originally proposed vs.
1:1 currently indicated) in the site~s northerly
facing slope. The proposed change is realized
primarily through incorporation of recently
available slope stabilization technology commonly
known as "Mirafi". As a result of the increased
slope stabilization achieved through use of this
material, the retaining wall indicated at the toe of
the slope referenced has been reduced in scale from
a maximum height originally planned at
approximately 16'+/- to that currently indicated of
approximately 3'-6'. Scale reduction in the
proposed retaining wall lessens overall project
visual impacts, often associated with construction of
massive retaining walls. Specifications of materials
and construction methodologies proposed have been
reviewed by the City Engineering Department and
are considered appropriate for this project's design
requirements. Easements allowing for construction
and maintenance of all proposed off-site grading
and drainage improvements, acceptable in content
and format to the City Engineer, will be secured by
the applicant prior to issuance of grading/building
permits.
The project, as proposed, conforms with existing
zoning ordinances affecting the subject property,
and is compatible with Southwest Area Plan {SWAP)
land use recommendations for the site {Reference
Exhibit C) . As discussed previously, the proposal
is also compatible with existing and anticipated
development in its immediate vicinity. As such, it
is likely Plot Plan No. 226 will be consistent with the
City~s General Plan recommendations for the
property in question, upon the Plan~s final
adoption,
A:PP226 6
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
Pursuant to applicable portions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial
Environmental Assessment was prepared for Plot
Plan No. 226. Based on findings contained in that
assessment, it was determined the project in
question will not have a significant impact on the
built or natural environment; a Negative Declaration
of potential environmental impacts is recommended
for adoption.
There is a reasonable probability that Plot
Plan No. 226 will be consistent with the City~s
future General Plan, which will be completed
in a reasonable time and in accordance with
State law. The project, as proposed,
conforms with existing applicable city zoning
and development ordinances. Further, the
proposal is characteristic of similar
development approved by the City to date.
There is not a likely probability of
substantial detriment to, or interference with
the City~s future General Plan, if the
proposed use is ultimately inconsistent with
the plan. The project is of insignificant scale
in context of the broad goals and directives
anticipated in the City~s General Plan.
The proposed use or action complies with
State planning and zoning laws. Reference
local Ordinances No. 3~8, ~60; and California
Governmental Code Sections 65000-66009
(Planning and Zoning Law).
The site is suitable to accommodate the
proposed land use in terms of the size and
shape of the lot configuration, circulation
patterns, access, and intensity of use.
Adequate site circulation, parking, and
landscaping are provided, as well as
sufficient area to appropriately construct the
proposed structures, Reference Exhibits D
and E.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the public health or
welfare. Reference the proposaPs Initial
Environmental Assessment, (Attachment No.
3), and project Conditions of Approval
( Attachment No. 2 ).
A: PP226 7
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposal will not have an adverse effect
on surrounding property, because it does not
represent a significant change to the present
or planned land use of the area. The project
conforms with applicable land use and
development regulations and reflects design
elements currently existing within the City.
The project has acceptable access to a
dedicated right-d-way which is open to, and
useable by, vehicular traffic. The project
draws access from both Margarita and Pauba
Roads, dedicated City rights-of-way, which
will be improved to realize their respective
ultimate design configurations as a project
Condition of Approval. Project access, as
designed, conforms with applicable City
Engineering standards and ordinances.
The project as designed and conditioned will
not adversely affect the built or natural
environment as determined in the initial study
performed for this project. Reference the
attached Initial Environmental Study and
Conditions of Approval for Plot Plan No. 226.
The design of the project together with the
type of supporting improvements are such
that they are not in conflict with easements
for access through, or use of the property
within the proposed project. Reference the
proposed site design in the context of the
approved, underlying parcel map
configuration, Exhibits D and H respectively.

Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? I A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future. )
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? |A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant. )
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? __

Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation
No. Construction is not proposed at depths sufficient to adversely
affect geologic substructures of the site. Unstable earth conditions
which might result from proposed cut/fill activities are mitigated by the
crib retaining wall extending along the site~s easterly property line.
Fill activities are subject to City material and compact/on specifications.
Yes. Compact/on and overcovering of soil is necessary to effect the
construction proposed. The limited scale of this proposal precludes any
significant impacts on regional topography or soil characteristics.
Maybe. Reference item 1 .b. Grading plans submitted propose a 20-25
gradient drop between the subject site and the property immediately
adjacent to the east. Gradient differentials are effected by a 2:1 slope
downward from the subject property, supported by a crib retaining wall
approximately 10 feet high. Partial mitigation of the visual impacts of
this slope/wall are realized through slope landscaping. Visual impacts
affecting properties immediately adjacent are further mitigated by
architectural articulation of the proposalis opposing building facades.
No. No unique geologic or topographic features are evident on the
subject site.
No. Insignificant change in regional surface erosion can be expected
if this project is eventually realized, i.e., additional on-site structures
and paving will undoubtedly reduce erosion at the project site.
Resultant environmental impacts of additional off-site drainage are
nominal as mitigated by properly designed and constructed drainage
conveyances. (Reference City of Temecula Engineering Department
Conditions of Approval. )
No. No construction is proposed that would logically affect beach
sands; nor should the project produce deposition/erosion which may
modify stream channels or lake beds.
No. The subject site is not affected by known earthquake, landslide,
mudslide or ground failure hazards. Further, all proposed
fill/compact/on and substructures shall conform to applicable City and
Uniform Building Code standards.
No. Nominal addition of localized air pollutants may result from
increased auto traffic accessing the project site. Regional effects are
considered nominal. Nominal changes may result in the immediate
vicinity of the project site. Based on the scale of this proposal,
environmental effects are anticipated to be largely undetectable.

No. The proposed structure is not located within defined marine or
fresh water flows. No effect on these environmental assets is
anticipated.
No. Currently permeable ground will be rendered impervious as a
result of this proposal. Consequently, surface runoff and absorption
rates on the project site itself may change. Site drainage shall conform
with plans approved by the City of Temecula. Necessary improvements
to effect proper site drainage shall be as indicated in the project
conditions of approval. No significant impacts are anticipated.
No. Plans proposed at this time indicate no adverse on or off site
flooding impacts. Proposed drainage plans and all related necessary
improvements shall be as specified by the City Engineering Department.
No. increased runoff from the project site may nominally increase
surface levels and turbidity of off-site bodies of water. However, due
to the limited project scale proposed, this possibility is unlikely.
No. Reduced permeat/on at the project site may eventually affect
underlying groundwater. Possible environmental alteration /s unlikely,
as are negative impacts.
No. Water consumption rates typical of commercial projects is
proposed. All water consumption activities are subject to monitoring
and allowances specified by the applicable purveyor. Proposed
landscaping/irrigation shall respect current drought conditions
affecting the City as specified in the project Conditions of Approval.
No. Reference Item No. 3.c.
No. No quantities of native plants to speak of, are currently present
on, or in the vicinity of the subject site, including species identified as
"rare or endangered". Further, new species which may be introduced
as a result of required site landscaping cannot be considered invasive
because of the referenced lack of on-site native varieties. Similarly,
no impacts are anticipated on agricultural assets.
No. Minor losses of small common urban species, e.g., small lizards,
insects, rodents, and their habitats may result from this project.
Numerically and qualitatively, these losses should be envlronmentally
insignificant. Further, if not previously paid, the applicant is
required to submit Stephen*s Kangaroo Rat habitat procurement fees in
an amount specified by City ordinance, Such monies are to be used for
purchase of suitable habitat for the Kangaroo Rat as it is gradually
displaced due to generalized development of the Temecula Valley. This
A:PP226 34
proposal contributes incrementally to regional displacement of the
Kangaroo Rat.
Noise
6.8.
Maybe.
No.
Minor increases in ambient noise levels may occur
subsequent to project implementation and commercial
occupancy of the project site. Long term noise impacts will
be insignificant. Short term construction noise levels
generated may result in localized disturbance, self-
mitigated largely by normally conducting such activities
during daylight hours, Monday through Friday.
Liqht and Glare
No. While the project could potentially impact night skies, the proposal
is required to comply with applicable City/Palomar Observatory lighting
policies and ordinanceIs). These policies and ordinances address
potential night-sky lighting impacts of development proposals that
might logically affect activities of the Mt. Palomar Astronomical
Observatory.
Land Use
No. The project is consistent with underlying land use ordinances and
Southwest Area Plan guidelines affecting the subject property. No
change in Land Use designations is proposed by the project; no
anticipated impacts.
Natural Resources
9.a,b.
No. The proposal is of limited scale and would not logically deplete
substantial renewable or non-renewable natural resources.
Risk of Upset
10.a,b.
No. The proposal does not entail storage or use of hazardous
substances; nor is the subject site within a designated
emergency/evacuation plan movement corridor.
Population
11.
Housing
12.
No. The project does not contain population relocation elements.
No. No housing is proposed to be added nor deleted.
A:PP226 35
Transportation/Circulation
13.a,c.
No. Commercial retail construction of relatively limited scale (less than
30,000 square foot) is proposed, generating similarly limited amounts
of destination traffic. Further, the project is required to contribute
monies to area-wide, as well as localized public improvements {e.g.,
traffic impact mitigation) proportionate to the proposal's anticipated
impacts.
13.b.
Yes. In compliance with City ordinance, the project is required to, and
does provide a total of 138 additional off-street, improved parking
spaces as referenced in the proposaPs Conditions of Approval
(attached) and indicated by Exhibit D.
13.d.
No. The project will attract additional traffic to the subject site upon
its implementation. Impacts are expected to be insignificant given the
proposalis limited scale. Reference also Item 13.a.
13.e.
No. The project is not in a location which would logically affect
waterborne, rail or air traffic, nor does it propose addition or deletion
of such facilities.
13.f.
Maybe. Any increase in traffic naturally increases the possibility of
traffic accidents. Impacts are likely to be unnoticeable in view of the
proposaPs limited scope and proposed infrastructure improvements.
Public Services
14.a-c.
Maybe. All new commercial development may generate at least nominal
increased demands for police and fire protection services, utility
provisions and, indirectly, schools. Mitigation is realized through
assessment districts, property taxes, and similar funding mechanisms.
lu,.d.
Maybe. Construction is not proposed which would directly impact
schools or parks. However, the applicant is required by state law to
contribute applicable school fees as partial mitigation for secondary
impacts on school systems resulting from co..'~ercial development.
lu,.e.
Yes. Increases in road maintenance activities in the immediate vicinity
of the proposal will be required due to proportionate increases in
localized traffic generated. Mitigation of such impacts are as specified
by the City Engineering Department in the project~s Conditions of
Approval.
lu,.f.
No. Impacts on other governmental services have not been identified
at this time.
Energy
15.a,b. No. Reference Item Nos. 9.a. and b.

Utilities
16.a-f.
No. Nominal service line extensions/increased demands can be
expected for the utilities referenced. No significant impacts are
anticipated.
Human Health
17,a,b.
No. The project does not include introduction of potential health
hazards to the region; nor are there existing health hazards identified
at the project site. Flood hazards affecting the site previous to
improvements proposed are mitigated by those improvements, including
overall elevation of the project site realized by planned fill activities.
Aesthetics
18.
No. The application has been reviewed for architectural compatibility
and complies with the City's applicable guidelines and standards in this
regard. Potential visual impacts of proposed grading and the
previously referenced crib retaining wall are mitigated primarily
through landscaping of the project site as indicated by Exhibit F.
Recreation
19.
No. Additional recreational assets are not proposed, nor are they to be
deleted in conjunction with this project; direct impacts on recreational
facilities are not anticipated.
Cultural Resources
20.a.
No. Construction is not proposed that will logically affect known
archaeological religious or cultural assets; no identified impacts.
20.b.
No. The proposal is not within an identified historic
preservation/conservation district. As such, impacts on the existing
character of historic assets in the region are unlikely.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

16, 1990. The County Land Development Committee
reviewed the project on March 15, 1990, and deemed
the application incomplete pending submittal of an
archaeological survey, a biological survey plotting
the location of all oak trees on the site, a geology
report addressing faults, liquefaction and slope
stability, grading information regarding degree of
slopes, cut and fill volumes, and existing
topography, and arrows indicating direction of
drainage on the site. The case transmittal from the
County to the City was dated April 30, 1990.
On August 1, 1990, a revised map was prepared
which reduced the proposed number of residential
lots from 137 to 105 and introduced six open space
lots in order to preserve a natural drainage course
and the majority of the 297 oak trees on the site.
The City Development Review Committee (DRC)
reviewed the project and expressed concern
regarding prov. ision of a secondary paved access to
the site and the appropriateness of the proposed
Change of Zone. The Development Review
Committee requested additional information
regarding the limits of Flood Zone A, the provision
of a secondary access, and traffic impacts.
A: TM25277 2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
ANALYSIS:
City Planning staff visited the site with the
applicant's representative and expressed concern
regarding the proposed Change of Zone on a site
containing 297 oak trees and substantial slopes.
Staff raised the issue of preserving more of the
natural topography and drainage courses and
suggested that a Planned Residential Development
allowing increased density on the flat portions of
the site in return for preserving more open space on
the hillsides would be more appropriate for the site.
In response to these concerns, the applicant
submitted a redesigned map which reduced the
number of residential lots from 105 to 102, provided
slightly larger lots on the hillsides, realigned some
streets, and reconfigured the hillside lots to reduce
the impact on the natural topography. The
redesigned map still contains proposed residential
parcels on the hillside areas.
The applicant requests a Change of zone from R-R,
Rural Residential with a half acre minimum lot size,
to R-1, One Family Residential with a 7,200 square
foot minimum lot size. The applicant proposes a
subdivision to create 102 single family lots and
seven open space lots which would preserve
existing oak trees and a well defined drainage
course on the site.
Access
A bridge across Pechanga Creek at Via Gilberto
would provide the primary access to the site.
Clearance from the Army Corps of Engineers would
be required to construct a bridge across the creek.
A temporary secondary access is proposed from the
southwesterly side of the site to Rainbow Canyon
Road via pavement to be constructed over a
Municipal Water Department easement. The
permanent secondary access is proposed to be
provided upon development of the property
southeast of the site which would provide a street to
a second bridge to be constructed across Pechanga
Creek at Via Eduardo.
Permission from the adjacent property owner and
the Municipal Water District will be necessary for
the temporary secondary access from Rainbow
Canyon Road to the site. To date, permission from
said property owners has not been provided to the
City. Staff is also concerned that provision of the
proposed permanent second access is uncertain.
Most of the adjacent property through which the
A:TM25277 3
proposed street would pass is occupied by steep
slopes. This site is also currently zoned R-R,
Rural Residential, and may, in Staff~s opinion, be
inappropriate for development of sufficient density
to support construction of a second bridge across
Pechanga Creek.
Traffic Impacts
The Traffic Study prepared for the proposed
Tentative Tract was based on the originally
proposed number of lots. Traffic generation
projections indicated 1,060 trip ends per day with
80 vehicles during the AM peak hour and 105
vehicles during the PM peak hour. Existing plus
project generated traffic would warrant
signalization at the intersection of Pala Road and
State Route 79. The developer would be required to
pay the traffic signal mitigation fees and to install
signals at the intersection of Pala Road and State
Route 79 if the intersection has not already been
signalized in conjunction with another project. The
developer would also be required to enter into an
agreement with the City to replace the existing
inadequate bridge on Pala Road by not protesting
the formation of a special district to provide for
construction of a new bridge.
Flood Plain
The northeasterly portion of the site is designated
as an open space parcel and is located in the 100
year floodway of Pechanga Creek. The 100 year
flood plain encroaches into 2~· of the proposed
residential parcels. Pechanga Creek and its flood
plain constitute a wetland as defined by Federal and
State agencies. Clearance from the State
Department of Fish and Game will be required prior
to the issuance of permits to grade within the flood
plain. The developer will also be required to comply
with City Ordinance 91-12 which may involve
obtaining a Conditional letter of Map Revision from
the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Geotechnical Investiqation of The Site
A geotechnical investigation of the site was
conducted. The conclusions of the investigation
were that a previously mapped pre-pliocene fault
passes south of the site and does not present a
significant hazard to the site, that there is no
significant hazard of surface rupture on the site,
A: TM25277 ~
and that the potential for liquefaction is considered
possible on the site. Recommended mitigation
measures include structural design to withstand
ground motions of 0.37g, recompaction of
subsurface soils, and foundation reinforcement to
mitigate liquefaction potential. The County
Geologist found that the report provided sufficient
information for purposes of environmental review
and concurred with the recommended mitigation
measures.
Site Topoqraphy
The site is located at the base of foothills adjacent
to a mountainous region to the south. There is a 96
foot difference between the lowest proposed pad
elevation adjacent to Pechanga Creek and the
highest proposed building pad on the hillside.
Slopes between 15 and 2596 in steepness comprise 1896
of the site, and 1996 of the site is occupied by slopes
of 25% or more. Approximately 30% of the proposed
residential parcels are located in areas with
significant slopes.
Southwest Area Plan Hillside Policies
The Hillside designation in the Southwest Area Plan
(SWAP) is applied to relatively small isolated
topographic features with slopes in areas of 25%.
Although the site is not within the Hillside
designation, the boundaries of the designation are
based on general topographical data and should not
be considered final for purposes of determining how
much of a given parcel is within the designation.
The land south of the site is within the Mountainous
designation. The SWAP states that applications for
development of sites located on the edge of Hillside
or Mountainous designations may be accompanied by
more detailed topographic data to further define
slope characteristics.
The SWAP Hillside Policy states that land with
slopes in areas of 25% should be incorporated into
the design of the development as open space and/or
larger lot sizes. The Hillside Policy also states that
the Hillside designation shall have a density of 0.2
dwelling units per acre for density transfer
purposes. That development shall blend into the
natural features of the site, that narrow canyons
which might create significant fire hazards shall be
left undeveloped, that the alignments of roads and
driveways should avoid areas of natural slopes in
A: TM25277 5
excess of 25%, and that erosion control through
retention of existing trees, planting of cut and fill
slopes, and proper compaction of manufactured
slopes shall be encouraged. Although large open
space areas are provided, substantial portions of 16
of the proposed parcels in the hillside area are
located where existing slopes are 25% or greater.
Grading
The Tentative Parcel Map indicates 200,650 cubic
yards of soil to be excavated from the hillsides,
180,770 cubic yards of fill to elevate the proposed
building pads adjacent to Pechanga Creek, 18,080
cubic yards of shrinkage, and an excess of 1,800
cubic yards of soil to be exported from the site.
Some off-site grading creating 1.5:1 slopes is
indicated at the southeasterly corner of the site.
Grading will not alter natural drainage courses or
significantly impact open space areas.
Bioloqical Impacts
The applicant has provided a Biological Assessment
of the u,7.7 acre site. Field surveys were conducted
during the months of March through August, 1990.
The report indicated that the 28 acres of non-native
grassland and Southern Mixed Chaparral on the site
are not significant biological resources. However,
the Southern Oak Riparian Woodland includes 297
Coast Live oak trees which are considered to be
important biological resources in themselves, and
are considered to be an Area of Special Biological
Importance. An oak tree survey and an Arborist's
Report provided information regarding the location
and condition of the oak trees. The tentative map
was redesigned in August of 1990 to incorporate
open space parcels which allow for preservation of
267 oak trees in their existing locations. An
additional 27 oak trees will be transplanted on the
site. Three oak trees will be eliminated by the
project. The redesigned map has done as much as
possible to preserve the Riparian Woodland portions
of the site.
A variety of reptiles, amphibians, birds, and
mammal were observed and signs indicated the
presence of other species not directly observed.
There were no sightings of special wildlife species
listed by the National Diversity Data Base as
possibly occurring on the site. Some raptors which
are listed as Species of Special Concern by the State
A:TM25277 6
probably occur on the site. The BiolocJical
Assessment stated that removal of grassland and
Chaparral habitat will cause some species to relocate
and foraging, predatory, and migratory species to
exclude the site from their range without direct
adverse impacts to biological resources.
Stephen~s Kangaroo Rats were not observed on the
site and are considered to have a low probability of
occurring on-site. However, the California
Blacktailed Gnatcatcher, a State listed Species of
Concern and a Category 2 Candidate for Federal
Listing, was observed on the site. The United
States Fish and Wildlife Department is in the process
of considering the Gnatcatcher for listing as a
threatened or endangered species. The Department
will probably make its determination by September
or October of 1991. In the event that the
Gnatcatcher becomes a federally listed species, the
City would be unable to issue grading permits for
the site prior to approval and adoption of a habitat
conservation plan.
Archaeoloqical and Paleontoloqical Resources
The applicant has provided an Archaeological
Assessment of the site. Although no cultural
resources were observed within the boundaries of
the subject property, a recorded historic site is
located just outside of the southwesterly corner of
the site near the proposed alignment of the
temporary secondary access street. The historic
site consists of the base and corners of a wall of an
adobe house purportedly owned by John Magee who
established the first mercantile store in the
Temecula Valley. The San Bernardino County
Museum made no recommendation regarding
paleontologic resources.
Off-Site Sewer Improvements
The Eastern Municipal Water Districthas stated that
existing conditions in the vicinity of the subject
property do not conveniently allow for the subject
property to receive service without making off-site
improvements to the existing system. The
developer is expected to propose a plan of sanitary
sewer service that allows for a gravity flow system
of sewers located within road right-of-way. The
District suggests that the developer obtain the
approval of the District Planning Department prior
to submittal of sewer improvement design plans.
A:TM25277 7
Chanqe of Zone
The applicant requests a Change of Zone from
Rural Residential with a minimum lot size of one-half
acre, to R-1, One Family Residential with a minimum
lot size of 7,200 square feet. The proposed Change
of Zone is consistent with the site's Southwest Area
Plan designation of 2-~ dwelling units per acre. It
has been Staff's position that a Planned Residential
Development concentrating the development on the
flatter portions of the property and reserving the
hillside areas for much larger residential lots and/or
open space would be more appropriate for the site.
On the basis of an Oak Tree Survey and an
Arborist~s Report, the applicant voluntarily revised
the Tentative Tract Map, reducing the number of
residential lots from 137 to 105 and creating several
large open space lots to preserve the majority of the
existing oak trees and a natural drainage course.
I n response to concerns expressed by City Planning
Staff, the applicant revised the map again,
reducing the number of residential lots from 105 to
102 and reconfiguring street alignments and lot
layouts to be more sensitive to existing natural
contours. The most recent version of the proposed
Tentative Tract Map still includes lots on the
hillside slope areas.
The Planning Department recognizes the efforts
made by the applicant to preserve significant open
space areas on the hillsides, to save the majority of
oak trees on the site, and to be sensitive to existing
terrain and drainage courses. However, Staff's
position is still that the site is inappropriate for the
type and intensity of proposed development.
Pechanga Creek is a natural boundary between the
R-1, One Family Residential Zone and lower density
residential development. The subject property is
located at an interface between urban residential
uses and a mountainous area designated for lots of
at least 10 acres. The site is subject to slope,
biological, and flood plain constraints, and
provision of a secondary access and utility service
are still not worked out. Moreover, approval of a
Change of Zone for the subject property could set
an undesirable precedent.
The adjacent property southeast of the site has
even greater slope constraints and is therefore even
more unsuitable for inclusion in the R-1 zone. The
only existing land uses in the vicinity on the same
side of Pechanga Creek as the property are the
A: TM25277 8
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
Temecula Creek Inn Golf Course, two houses on the
property southeast of the site, and part of the
Pechanga Indian Reservation. For these reasons,
Staff does not support a Change of Zone from R-R
to R-1 for the subject property. Moreover, it is
Staff's opinion that the subject property should
remain R-R, Rural Residential until the General
Plan is adopted for the City or an overall
development plan for the subject property and the
adjacent property southeast of the site is proposed.
The proposed project is consistent with the
Southwest Area Plan designation of 2-4 dwelling
units per acre. However, the design of the
subdivision does not adequately comply with the
SWAP Hillside Policy which stipulates that slopes in
areas of 2596 should be incorporated into the project
as open space and/or larger lots.
An Initial Study prepared for the project
determined that the project will not result in any
significant adverse environmental impacts which
could not be adequately mitigated by measures
incorporated as Conditions of Approval. Had the
application been submitted directly to the City,
Staff would have required an Environmental Impact
Report which would provide analysis of possible
alternatives to the proposed project. Because the
project was transferred to the City from the County
in process and beyond the point of the legally
prescribed time limit, the City was not able to
required an Environmental Impact Report.
Tentative Tract Map No. 25277
There is a reasonable probability that
Tentative Tract Map No. 25277 will be
inconsistent with the City's future General
Plan, which will be completed within a
reasonable time in accordance with State Law,
in that the site is inappropriate for the
proposed intensity of development due to
topographical, biological, and flood plain
constraints and problems relating to site
access and provision of utilities.
There is a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan if the proposed use of action is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
A: TM25277 9
the project would set a precedent which could
interfere with the incorporation of hillside
development policies in the future General
Plan.
The proposed density, 2.10, dwelling units
per acre, is consistent with the Southwest
Area Plan designation of 2-0, units per acre.
However, the design of the project is not
consistent with Southwest Area Plan Hillside
Policies.
The site is not physically suited for the
proposed project in that;
The provision of secondary access and
utilities to the site is not yet
adequately demonstrated.
The City will be unable to issue
grading permits prior to adoption of a
habitat conservation plan if the State
or Federal Governments list the
California Gnatcatcher, which was
observed on the site, as threatened or
endangered.
The project meets the requirements of
ordinances 30,8 and 0,60 in that all lots conform
to the minimum size and dimension
requirements of the R-1 zone.
The design and improvements of the proposed
land division will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the
proposed land division.
The proposed project makes adequate
provision for future passive or natural solar
heating opportunities in that all proposed
parcels have adequate southern exposure.
The lawful conditions stated in the projectIs
Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary
to protect public health, safety and welfare.
These findings are supported by minutes, maps,
exhibits, and environmental documents associated
with these applications and herein incorporated by
reference.
A: TM25277 10
Chanqe of Zone No. 5724
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 572~, will be inconsistent with the
City~s future General Plan, which will be
completed within a reasonable time in
accordance with State law, in that the site is
inappropriate for the proposed intensity of
development due to topographical, biological,
and flood plain constraints and problems
relating to site access and provision of
utilities.
There is a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan if the proposed use or action is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the project would set a precedent which could
interfere with the incorporation of hillside
development policies in the future General
Plan.
The proposed density, 2.1u, dwelling units
per acre, is consistent with the Southwest
Area Plan designation of 2-L~ units per acre.
However, the design of the project is not
consistent with Southwest Area Plan Hillside
Policies.
The proposed Change of Zone is not
reasonable and beneficial in that the site is
unsuitable for the proposed intensity of
development, and approval of the Change of
Zone would be an undesirable precedent
which could be applied to the adjacent
property and would probably be inconsistent
with and detrimental to the future General
Plan.
These finds are supported by minutes, maps,
exhibits, and environmental documents associated
with these applications and herein incorporated by
reference.

with the general plan proposal being
considered or studied or which will be
studied within a reasonable time.
b)
There is little or no probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
adopted general plan if the proposed use or
action is ultimately inconsistent with the
plan.
c)
The proposed use or action complied with all
other applicable requirements of state law and
local ordinances.
B. The Riverside County General Plan, as amended by the
Southwest Area Community Plan, (hereinafter "SWAP" ) was adopted
prior to the incorporation of Temecula as the General Plan for the
southwest portion of Riverside County, including the area now within
the boundaries of the City. At this time, the City has adopted SWAP as
its General Plan guidelines while the City is proceeding in a timely
fashion with the preparation of its General Plan.
C. The Planning Commission in recommending denial of the
proposed Change of Zone, makes the following findings, to wit:
a)
There is a reasonable probability that Change
of Zone No. 572u, will be inconsistent with the
City~s future General Plan, which will be
completed within a reasonable time in
accordance with State law, in that the site is
inappropriate for the proposed intensity of
development due to topographical, biological,
and flood plain constraints and problems
relating to site access and provision of
utilities.
b)
There is a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future
General Plan if the proposed use or action is
ultimately inconsistent with the plan in that
the project would set a precedent which could
interfere with the incorporation of hillside
development policies in the future General
Plan.

c)
The proposed density, 2.1u, dwelling units
per acre, is consistent with the Southwest
Area Plan designation of 2-LI units per acre.
However, the design of the project is not
consistent with Southwest Area Plan Hillside
Policies.
d)
The proposed Change of Zone is not
reasonable and beneficial in that the site is
unsuitable for the proposed intensity of
development, and approval of the Change of
Zone would be an undesirable precedent
which could be applied to the adjacent
property and would probably be inconsistent
with and detrimental to the future General
Plan.
D. The Change of Zone is compatible with the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. Conditions,
That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby recommends
denial of Zone Change No. 5724 to change the zoning on 47.7 acres of land from R-R,
Rural Residential, to R-1, One Family Residential, on property located southwest of

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future. )
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant. )
Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? __

No. The project will involve recompaction of subsurface soils as a
mitigation of liquefaction potential in accordance with the
recommendations of the Geology Report. This is not considered a
significant adverse impact.
Yes. Parts of the site include slopes in excess of 25%. Excavation and
fill operations will alter the topography of the site, and will involve
displacement and compaction of soils. No slopes steeper than 2:1 will
be allowed and soil compaction as a liquefaction mitigation is not
regarded as a significant impact. Portions of the site will be maintained
as open space and will remain undisturbed.
No. The site does not contain any unique geologic features.
Yes. Wind erosion may occur during grading operations. Fugitive dust
is typically controlled by standard measures required during grading.
This impact would be temporary and is not considered significant.
Yes. Some siltation could occur during grading. This is a temporary
impact and is not considered significant.
No. The geology report states that there are no signs of faulting on
the site.
No. The project will not result in any emissions other than typical auto
emissions. This will not constitute a significant impact on air quality.
No. Portions of the existing topography which are well defined
drainage courses will be maintained as open space and drainage
patterns will not be altered. No grading will occur in the floodway of
Pechanga Creek.
Yes. The addition of impermeable surfaces will alter rates of absorption
and runoff. Surface runoff will be disposed in a manner approved by
the City Engineer and will not constitute a significant adverse impact.
Existing drainage patterns will not be significantly altered.
No. The project will not result in any significant withdrawals or
additions to any body of water or any discharge into surface waters
which would significantly alter water quality.
No. Subsurface compaction of soil will not significantly alter the flow
of groundwaters. The project will be served by the Rancho Water
District and will not involve direct additions to or withdrawals from the
aquifer.
A: TM25277 u,2
3.i.
No. The 100 year floodplain of Pechanga Creek encroaches into 20, of
the proposed residential parcels. Grading of the site will elevate those
parcels above the 100 year flood level. The applicant will be required
to obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. No grading will be allowed within the
floodway or main water course of Pechanga Creek.
u~.a,b.
No. The site contains 297 oak trees which are considered an important
biological resource. Large portions of the site will be maintained as
open space in which 267 oak trees will be preserved in their existing
locations. 27 oak trees will be relocated on-site. Three trees will be
removed in conformance with the recommendations of the arborist's
report. The chaparral and non-native grass lands which will be
eliminated were not considered to be important biological resources in
the Biological Assessment of the site.
Maybe. Non-native species of plants may be introduced in conjunction
with landscaping. This is not considered a significant adverse impact.
No- The site is not used for agricultural crops.
5.a,b,c.
According to the Biological Assessment of the site, the project could
cause some species to relocate or to exclude the site from their foraging
range, but this would not be considered a significant direct adverse
impact to biological resources. No special species listed by the Natural
Diversity Data Base were observed on the site. Stephen~s Kangaroo
Rats were not observed, and the probability of their occurrence was
considered low. The California Blacktailed Gnatcatcher was observed
on the site. Should this species become Federally listed as threatened
or endangered, the City would be unable to issue grading permits for
the site prior to adoption of a habitat conservation plan.
6.a.
Yes. The project will result in an increase in existing noise levels.
Noise during grading and construction is temporary and will be limited
to daytime hours. Noise generated after occupancy of the project will
be typical for a single family residential neighborhood and is not
considered a significant adverse impact.
6.b.
No. The project is a single family residential neighborhood and is not
expected to generate severe noise levels.
No. The project will generate new light. However, the Mount Palomar
Outdoor Lighting Policy requires the use of low pressure sodium vapor
lighting which reduces glare to a level which may be considered
insignificant as an environmental impact.
Yes. The proposal is in conformance with the residential nature of land
uses planned for the area, but does involve a request for a Change of
Zone which involves some intensification of the residential land use.
The proposed number of lots is only slightly in excess of what is allowed
under the existing zoning. Moreover, large portions of the sight are
retained as open space in order to conserve oak trees and will define

drainage courses on the site. The main impact of the project on land
use intensity involves a smaller lot size rather than a substantially
increased number of lots and therefore will not constitute a significant
adverse environmental impact.
No. The project will not involve any unusual increase in the rate of use
of natural resources or depletion of any non-renewable resources.
No. The project will not involve use of any hazardous substances.
Grading and construction should not require temporary blocking of
lanes on existing streets.
No. The project will not result in any significant alteration of
population densities or growth rates in that it involves a change in lot
size more than a substantial increase in the number of lots permitted on
the site.
No. The project will not result in a demand for additional housing or
affect existing housing.
Yes. The project will generate additional traffic which will constitute
a significant impact on the Pala Road bridge and on the intersection of
Pala Road and State Route 79. Pala Road needs a wider bridge than the
existing structure. All projects in the vicinity are required to enter
into an agreement with the City to participate in the construction of a
new bridge and not to protest the formation of a special district to
provide for a new bridge. The Traffic Study indicates that the project
will generate 1,060 trip ends per day with 80 vehicles per hour during
AM peak hour and 105 vehicles per hour during PM peak hour. Existing
plus project generated traffic will warrant the installation of a signal at
Pala Road and State Route 79. The developer shall pay traffic signal
mitigation fees and shall install the signal if it has not already been
installed in conjunction with other projects.
No. The project will not result in a demand for parking facilities, an
impact on existing transportation systems, or an increase in traffic
hazards.
Yes. Although existing patterns of circulation will not be altered, new
patterns will be created by the project. This does not constitute an
adverse impact on circulation patterns.
Yes. The project will result in a need for expanded services in the
areas of fire and police protection, schools, parks, and maintenance of
public services. Payment of fire mitigation, school, and park fees, and
property taxes will provide the resources to help mitigate the project's
impacts on public services.
No. The project will not result in unusual amounts of energy
consumption or require the development of new energy sources.

No. The proposal will not result in a demand for substantial new
power, communications, water, drainage, or solid waste facilities.
Yes. The project will require a plan of sewer service that allows for a
gravity flow system of sewers. The developer~s engineer must meet
with the Eastern Municipal Water District's Planning Department in
order to develop an acceptable plan. This does not constitute a need
for substantial new facilities but does require the development of a plan
acceptable to the Water District.
No. The project will not result in any health hazards in that the site
will be adequately drained and will be served by water and sewer
districts.
No. The project will not obstruct any scenic views. Portions of the
site will be retained as natural open space to preserve existing oak
trees.
No. The site is not used for recreational purposes. The proposed
residential neighborhood is separated from the nearby golf course by
a municipal water department which provides an open space buffer.
No. The project will not result in any adverse impacts to cultural
resources or sacred uses in the area. The only historical resource
identified by the Archaeological Assessment is the remains of an adobe
house just outside of the subject property. The Environmental
Constraints Sheet developed in conjunction with the final map shall note
the existence and location of the adobe walls and shall prohibit any
disturbance of the historical site by grading or construction
operations.
No. The project will not result in any adverse impacts to biological or
historical resources, secondary impacts, cumulative traffic impacts, or
adverse health impacts which cannot be mitigated to levels of
insignificance.
A:TM25277 45
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect on this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval
have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

Dear Ms. Cooke:
This is in response to your February 20, 1990 transmittal of information
describing the subject project.
The subject project is located within the sanitary sewer service area of EMWD.
However, the existing conditions in the vicinity of the subject project do
not conveniently allow for the subject project to receive service without making
offsite improvements to the existing system.
We suggest the developer's engineer arrange to meet with the District's Planning
Department in order to develop an acceptable concept plan of sanitary sewer
service. The developer is expected to propose a plan of sanitary sewer service
that allows for a gravity flow system of sewers located within road right-of-way.
This plan should receive the necessary District Planning Department review
and approvals prior to the submittal of sewer improvement design plans for
plan check.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact me at {714} 766-1880.

Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the Seismic/geologic aspects of your report entitled
"Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, Assessor's Parcel Number:
918-180-005," dated June 21, 1989, and your response to County review, dated
May 15, 1990.
Your report determined that:
1. There is no significant hazard of surface fault rupture on this site.
An earthquake of Richter Magniutde 6.0 on the nearby Elsinore Fault
Zone is expected to generate a bedrock acceleration at the site in
excess of 0.579 with a duration of strong ground shaking of
approximately 37 seconds.
The potential for liquefaction is considered to be possible on the
site. Should liquefaction occur, it is possible that surface soils
will experience settlement. The areas subject to liquefaction are
delineated on Figure 3, Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Site
Plan, accompanying your response to County review, dated May 15, 1990.
The site is not believed to be subject to the secondary seismic hazards
of lurching, amplification, seismic settlement, seismic-induced
flooding and landsliding.
Your report recommended that:
1. The proposed structures shall be designed to undergo ground motions of
0.379.
2. Subsurface trenching on the site is not considered necessary to
evaluate faulting.

3. Measures to mitigate liquefaction potential include the following:
a)
All areas to support structures and/or fills affected by
liquefiable soils shall be rounded on a mat of recompacted native
earth materials. This mat should extend a minimum depth of five
feet below final grade elevation and extend five feet outside the
building and/or fill areas.
b) All structures shall have the minimum foundation reinforcement as
indicated in Section 9.15 of your report.
c) The final grading and footing design plans shall be reviewed by the
project geotechnical engineer prior to site grading.
d)
Liquefaction mitigation measures apply to the areas delineated on
Figure. 3, Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Site Plan,
accompanying your response to County Review, dated May 15, 1990.
It is our opinion that the report was prepared in a competent manner and
satisfies the additional information requested under the California
Environmental Quality Act review and the Riverside County Comprehensive General
Plan. Final approval of the report is hereby given.
The following note shall be placed on the Environmental Constraints Sheet prior
to final map recordation "County Geologic Report Nos. 704 and 705 were prepared
for this property by Soil Tech, Inc. on June 21, 1989 and are on file at the
Riverside County Planning Department. The specific items of concern are
seismic design of structures and liquefaction."
The recommendations made in your report for mitigation of liquefaction
potential shall be adhered to in the design and construction of this project.
Very truly yours,

Outdoor Advertising Displays Ordinance
Prepared By: Oliver Mujica
ADOPT Resolution No. P. C. 91-
recommending adoption of the Amended Interim
Outdoor Advertising Displays Ordinance.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICANT:
City of Temecula
PROPOSAL:
An Ordinance establishing regulations for Outdoor
Advertising Displays.
LOCATION:
City Wide
BACKGROUND:
On April 2~,, 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
90-08, declaring a forty-five (u,5) day moratorium
pertaining to regulations for outdoor advertising displays.
The moratorium was based upon the following findings:
The City Council is concerned about the
maintenance of the visual aesthetic quality of
the City of Temecula, and with the creation of
an orderly and balanced development scheme
within the City of Temecula. Accordingly, to
protect the integrity of the ultimate General
Plan and to assure the continued development
stability of property within the City of
Temecula, this Council finds that it is
necessary to establish interim zoning policies
concerning such signage to allow Staff the
time necessary to investigate and formulate
the ultimate plan of development for the City
of Temecula as encompassed within the terms
and provisions of the General Plan.
The City of Temecula is presently developing
a General Plan for development of the City of
Temecula. The ultimate goal is to provide a
balanced and unified plan of development
within the City of Temecula. A material
portion of the General Plan study will be the
formulation and establishment of regulations
A: OUTDOOR3. ADV 1
for signage, including primary signs, in the
City of Temecula.
There is the potential for certain applications
for the establishment of Outdoor Advertising
Displays, the approval of which would
contradict the ultimate goals and objectives of
the General Plan. Moreover, pending
completion of the General Plan it is
foreseeable thatfurther such applications will
be received which may further contradict
such goals and objectives of the General
Plan.
Pending approval of the General Plan, and
associated Land Use Code Regulations
concerning signage, the approval of any
further sign location plans, plot plans, or
other discretionary entitlement for Outdoor
Advertising displays, would result in
immediate threat to the public health, safety
or welfare of persons and properties the City
of Temecula.
The Council also adopted the following interim zoning
regulations:
Pending the completion and adoption of the
General Plan of the City of Temecula together
with associated signage regulation for the
Land Use Code for the City of Temecula, the
establishment of Outdoor Advertising
Displays is hereby prohibited and no
application for sign location plan, plot plan or
other applicable discretionary entitlement for
a Outdoor Advertising Display shall be
accepted, acted upon or approved.
The provisions of subparagraph 3(a), shall
not apply to any application for:
(i) Onsite Advertising Structures and
Signs (Ordinance 3~,8, Section 19.5)
{ii) Subdivision Signs (Ordinance 3~,8,
Section 19.6)
Other than as expressly provided in this
Ordinance, all other applications for signage
shall be processed and acted upon pursuant
to the normal and customary provisions of the
Land Use Ordinance of the City of Temecula.
A: OUTDOOR3. ADV 2
DISCUSSION:
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
On June 5, 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
90-09, declaring a ten (10) month and fifteen (15) day
extension of Ordinance No. 90-08, which was due to expire
on April 2~,, 1991.
On April 23, 1991, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
91-17, declaring a one (1) year Extension of Ordinance
No. 90-09, which will expire on April 23, 1992.
In adopting Ordinance No. 91-17, the City Council
directed the Planning Department Staff to prepare an
amendment to the Ordinance that would provide for an
exemption procedure so that special cases could be heard.
Based on this direction, Staff has amended Ordinance No.
91-17 by adding the following section:
"SECTION ~,. Not withstanding the provisions of
this Ordinance, should any party believe that they
would suffer a hardship if not permitted to build an
outdoor advertising display, they may apply for an
exemption to this Ordinance. Such exemption may
be granted by the City Council only after due notice
and public hearing thereon."
This project does not have a potential for causing a
significant affect on the environment. Therefore, Staff
has determined that the project is exempt from CEQA
under Section 150611 b ) { 3 ).
The proposed Interim Outdoor Advertising Displays
Ordinance is necessary to bring about eventual
conformity with the City~s future Land Use plans.
There is reasonable probability that the proposed
Interim Outdoor Advert(s( ng Displays Ordinance will
be consistent with the City~s future General Plan,
which will be completed in a reasonable time and in
accordance with the goals and/or policies of the
City~s future General Plan.
There is not a likely probability of substantial
detriment to or interference with the future General
Plan, if the proposed policies are ultimately
inconsistent with the plan, due to the fact that
policies will be adopted for the new General Plan.
Therefore, it is likely that the City will consider
these policies during their preparation of the
General Plan.
A: OUTDOOR3. ADV 3
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
The proposed Interim Outdoor Advertising Displays
Ordinance is consistent with SWAP. In addition, Staff
finds it probable that this Ordinance will be consistent
with the new General Plan when it is adopted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission:

Interim Outdoor Advertising Displays
Ordinance.

ADVERTISING DISPLAYS PURSUANT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 65858 Co) AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, On December 1, 1989, the City of Temecula was established as a duly
organized Municipal Corporation of the State of California. On said date, pursuant to the
requirements of California Government Cede Section 57376, the City Council of the City of
Temecula adopted its Ordinance No. 89-01, thereby adopting, by reference, for 120 days the
Riverside County Code, which contains the Land Use Regulations of the county of Riverside,
and which Regulations are currently applicable to the establishment of all uses and development
applications (including allowance of signage) within the City of Temecula.
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Ordinance no. 90-04, the City readopted Ordinance No. 348
of the County of Riverside as the Land Use Regulations for the City of Temecula;
WHEREAS, As part of its review of new and potential development within the city of
T~mecula, the City Council examined the Southwest Area Community Plan (SWAP) portion of
Riverside County General Plan as it has pertained to development in the City of Temecula.
Such examinations revealed that said SWAP may not provide an appropriate development
scheme for the City of Temecula, and consequen~y, the City Council adopted SWAP as planning
guidelines until the City could adopt its own General Plan. All action on development
applications since incorporation, as to required consistency with the adopted General Plan, has
taken place pursuant to the terms and provisions of California Government Code Section 65360.
WHEREAS, In recognition of the need for effective long range planning criteria, the
City Council commenced within the time limits prescribed for adoption of a General Plan, the
study and formulation of a General Plan for the City of Temecula. A material part of said
General Plan Study will be the review and development of effective criteria to regulate all forms
of signage within the City of Temecula.
WHEREAS, Ordinance no. 348 of the Riverside County Code (hereinafter referred to
as the "Land Use Code") currently provides for the approval and establishment of "Outdoor Use
Advertising Displays" within the City of Temecula. The l~nd Use Code defines an "Outdoor
Advertising Display" as "The advertising structure and signs used for outdoor advertising
purposes, not including on-site advertising as hereinafter defined",
5/Ords27 -1-
~atEREAS, In the near future there could be certain applications for such Outdoor
Advertising Displays, the approval of which would not conform to the contemplated General
Plan scheme of development in the City of Temecula and would contradict the specific purposes
for the adoption of a unified General Plan. Moreover, pending completion of the General Plan,
it is foreseeable that further outdoor advertising display proposals will be submitted for property
within the City which would contradict the ultimate goals and policies of the proposed General
Plan;
WHEREAS, This Council is concerned about the maintenance of the visual aesthetic
quality of the City of Temecula, and with the creation of an orderly and balanced development
scheme within the City of Temecula. Accordingly, to protect the integrity of the ultimate
General Plan and to assure the continued development stability of property within the City of
Temecula, this Council finds that it is necessary to investigate and formulate the ultimate plan
of development for the City of Temecula as encompassed within the terms and provisions of the
General Plan; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to ordinance No. 90-08, the City Council of the City of Temecula
enacted an interim zoning ordinance, which expired on June 8, 1990, pursuant to California
Government Code Section 65858;
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Ordinance No. 90-09, the City Council of the City of Temecula
extended Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 90-08, which expires on April 24, 1991 pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65858; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Ordinance No 91-17 The City Council of The City of Temecula
extended Ordinance No. 90-09 pursuant to Government Code section 65858 which expires April

occurred;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Temecula does Hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set
forth above are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds as follows:
(a) The City of Temecula is presently developing a General Plan for
development of the City of Temecula. The ultimate goal of the General Plan is to provide a
balanced and unified plan of development within the City of Temecula and will ultimately
upgrade the economic, social, and cultural welfare of persons and properties within the City of
Temecula. A material portion of the General Plan Study will be the formulation and

establishment of regulations for signage, including primary signs, in the City of Temecula.
(b) There is the potential for certain applications for the establishment
of Outdoor Advertising Displays, the approval of which would contradict the ultimate goals and

APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICANT:
PROPOSAL:
LOCAT ION:
BACKGROUND:
City of Temecula
An Ordinance establishing regulations for the use of
Ambient Air Balloons.
City Wide
On May 14, 1991, the City Council considered an
Ordinance which included the following: A maximum
size of 1,500 square feet (as measured at the cross
section of the balloon used ); a maximum height of 30
feet (as measured from the point of anchor to the
highest portion of the balloon); and a time period
not to exceed fifteen (15) days within any ninety
(90) day period. In addition, a thirty (30) day
permit may be issued by the City durin9 the month
of the Temecula Annual Balloon and Wine Festival.
At the conclusion of the public hearing. the City
Council continued this item in order to allow the
Planning Department staff the opportunity to
further define the term "site". as it relates to an
entire business complex or individual businesses;
and to include a provision for separation between
balloons.
A:\AMBORD-A.PC 1
DISCUSSION:
According to the California Government Code,
revisions to a "Draft" Ordinance must be first
reviewed by the Planning Commission, in order to
allow the Commission the opportunity to forward a
formal recommendation. Thus, the Revised "Draft"
Ambient Air Balloon Ordinance is before the
Planning Commission for reconsideration.
Based on the direction given by the City Council,
staff has included the following definitions for
"site" within Section 19.8Jb) of the proposed
ordinance,
"b. For the purpose of this Section, a site
shall be defined as the following:
1. One or more contiguous parcels of
land identified by the Assessor's
records wherein an individual building
or an integrated building development
has been approved.
2. A building wherein two or more
separate independently owned or
operated commercial, office or
industrial businesses are contained."
In regards to separation between balloons, Section
19.8(c) (5) includes the following:
"Spacing shall be a minimum of five hundred
J 500~ ) feet between the ambient air balloons."
It should be noted that a provision has also been
included within this Section of the proposed
ordinance to waive the maximum allowable number of
balloons and minimum spacing requirement during
the month of the Temecula Annual Balloon and Wine
Festival. This will encourage the Citywide
promotion if such event is held.
A: \AMBOR D-A. PC 2
ENVIRONMENTAL
DETERMINATION:
FINDINGS:
Staff has also included the following provision for
exemptions within Section L~ of the proposed
ordi nance:
"Not withstanding the provisions of this
Ordinance, should any party believe that
they would suffer a hardship if not permitted
to install an ambient air balloon, they may
apply for an exemption to this Ordinance.
Such exemption may be granted by the City
Council only after due notice and public
hearing thereon ."
In Addition, staff has eliminated the phrase "and
other similar inflatables" in order to ensure that
only hot air type balloons as typically depicted in
the City of Temecula's Annual Balloon and Wine
Festival are used.
The project is exempt from CEQA under Section
15061 (b) (3). This project does not have a
potential for causing a significant affect on the
environment.
The proposed Ambient Air Balloon Ordinance
is necessary to bring about eventual
conformity with the City~s Land use plans.
There is reasonable probability that the
proposed Ambient Air Balloon Ordinance will
be consistent with the City's future General
Plan, which will be completed in a reasonable
time and in accordance with the goals and/or
policies of the City~s future General Plan.
There is not a likely probability of
substantial detriment to or interference with
the future General Plan, if the proposed
policies are ultimately inconsistent with the
plan, due to the fact that policies will be
adopted for the new General Plan. therefore,
it is likely that the City will consider these
policies during their preparation of the
General Plan.
A:\AMBORD-A.PC 3
GENERAL PLAN AND
SWAP CONSISTENCY:
The proposed Ambient Air Balloon Ordinance is
consistent with SWAP. In addition, Staff finds it
probable that this Ordinance will be consistent with
the new General Plan when it is adopted.
