shopping center on a corner come before the Commission
and request that they move both of their signs to one
frontage.

Variance No. 8 based on the analysis and findings

COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF expressed a concern for making the
legal requirements for findings that this property is
being deprived of priveleges which are enjoyed by other
properties in the same vicinity within the zone, and is
granting special priveleges which is inconsistent within
the zone.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that although he shared some of
the same concerns as Commissioner Chiniaeff, this
property is unique and the signage is being consolidated,
therefore he can support this particular Variance.
GARY THORNHILL suggested that the Commission consider an
additional finding, that because of the topography of
Lyndie Lane, any sign would not be visible to thru

a letter requesting a continuance to February.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 6:55 P.M.
KEITH MCCANN, JR., 43121 Margarita Road, Temecula, read
verbatim from the attached Exhibit to the Planning
Commission.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the
Change of Zone:
TERI GASLEN, 44501 Verde Drive, Los Ranchitos,
representing the Los Ranchitos Homeowner's Association,
addressed the Commission with the concern that if this
PCMIN12/16/91 -5- DECEMBER 18, 1991
PL~NIN~ CO~fi~ISSION MINUTES
DECEMBER 16, 1991
change of zone is approved, others parcels will follow.
The Association is very concerned with what type of
commercial is going to be at this location. Ms. Gaslen
stated that the Association was requesting a postponing
of any decision to allow them time to study the proposed
project and work with Mr. McCann.
CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND stated that he was concerned with the
Association's request for a continuance, due to the cost
implecations to the developer.
DON ROHRABACHER, 44281 Flores Drive, Temecula, opposed
the zone change and stated that in order for Mr. McCann
to change his zoning, it must be approved by a 51%
majority vote from the members. Mr. Rohrabacher stated
that if 51% of the members voted to approve the zone
change then he would not oppose it.
REBECCA WERSING, 41775 Yorba Avenue, Temecula, Opposed
approving the zone change without getting 51% of the vote
of the Association members.
KEITH MCCANN advised that in his correspondence to the
Board he suggest that he only needs one of anyone of the
following anchors: mini market, gas station or fast food,
to satisfy the lenders, and he would be willing to sit
down and discuss with the Board which one of these they
would feel most comfortable with. Mr. McCann added that
he would be willing to postpone submitting a plot plan
for the parcel until February or March.
COMMISSIONER CRINIAEFF stated that the Commission's role
is to make the best planning decision, and keeping the
properties on the east side of the street residential,
surrounded by commercial is not reasonable planning
decision; however, he did express a concern for the
premature planning of that parcel. Mr. Chiniaeff stated
that he felt the zone change was appropriate; however,
the list of uses should be reviewed and decided on which
are good and which are bad for this parcel.
COMMISSIONER FAHEY stated that she has expressed concern
in the past about going against CC&R's; however, Mr.
McCann has made some significant effort to work with the
Association. The general plan will be determining what
the specific boundaries of Los Ranchitos will be and it
would oppose the zone change at this particular time.
COMMISSIONER FORD stated that he was not looking at this
from the stand point of taking away the authority of the
PCMIN12/16/91 -6- DECEMBER 18, 1991
PLANNING COMMI88ION MINUTES DECEMBER 16, 1991
CC&R's; however, this property was cut-off and seperate
from Los Ranchitos.
GARY THORNHILL stated that with resepect to the useage
issue, staff had been contemplating that. Mr. Thornhill
suggested that staff come back with a list of uses that
staff feels are appropriate for this location.
COMMISSIONER FORD suggested providing the Los Ranchitos
Homeowner's Association with the list and getting their
input as well.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF moved to continue Change of Zone
No. 18 and Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 2, to the
second meeting in January, and direct staff to look at
the permitted uses in the existing specific plan and come
back with a recommendation as to the type of uses that
would be most appropriate, as well as provide that list
to the Los Ranchitos Homeowner's Association so that they
can make comments as far as what they would like to see,
and continue the public hearing until that date, seconded
by COMMISSIONER FORD.

CHAIRMAN HOAGLAND opened the public hearing at 8:05 P.M.
KEITH MCCANN, 43121 Margarita Road, Temecula, applicant,
advised that he acquired the property under the
assumption that this was an approved project. He advised
that the construction of the storm drain is being done by
Tomac Engineering at the direction of staff.
LARRY MARKHAM, Markham & Associates, 41750 Winchester
Road, Temecula, advised that there was a timely filing of
the second time extension; however, due to the change of
ownership there was some problem relative to the fees;
however, that has been resolved. The concerns for the
drainage are relative to the inadequacy of the structure
under the freeway. Regarding the Conditions, Mr. Markham
requested that Condition 6 be deleted or a dimenimous
finding be made relative to the Fish and Game fee and
Condition 12 requesting CC&R's, would suggest reciprocal
accessment agreements.
JOHN KAVANAUGH recommended that Condition 12 not be
deleted.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF moved to close the public hearing

developer had been very cooperative with the homeowners

rural qualities. He also requested that if Green Tree

maintenance of the road be addressed within the CC&R's,

DECEMBER 16, 1991
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF expressed a concern for emergency
vehicle access into the project and drainage as it
relates to Pauba Road.
JOHN TELESIO, 31760 Via Telesio, Temecula, supported the
development however, requested that the area retain it's
rural standard.
ROBERT RIGEETTI advised that the City standard for Rancho
Vista Road requires 32' of asphalt concrete, with curb
and gutter and sidewalk, and street lights. The City
standard for the private street requires A/C pavement
with an A/C burm, no sidewalk, curb, gutter, or street
light. This is the requirement for Green Tree Road as
well.
COMMISSIONER FORD suggested that the turn-around bulb be
enlarged near the gated entrance rather than the
intersection.
ROBERT RIGHETTI suggested amending Condition 37 by adding
the following sentence, "A turn-around bulb with a
minimum 38' radius shall be provided outside the gated
entrance."; and amending Condition 80 by deleting the
requirement for the turn-around bulb in the intersection.
KEN WINCH stated that the applicant concurred with the
amendment proposed; however, indicated that they were
unaware that they were being required to provide paving
to Pauba. He stated that through all their meetings they
understood that they would be required to pave to Calls
Cedro.
ROBERT RIGHETTI advised that the Ordinace required paving
to the nearest maintained road.
COMMISSIONER CHINIAEFF suggested that the applicant
pursue the an easement to Pauba Road from the property
owner on Grapevine.

Mr. Chairman, Planning Commission Members...
My name is Keith L. McCann, Jr. I reside at 43121
Temecula.
Margarita, in
I would like to report to you regarding your recommendation
of October 7, 1991, that I and the Los Ranchitos Homeowners
Association engage in additional dialogue regarding release from
the C.C.&Rs.
During my first meeting with the Association Board Members,
I was instructed by the board to meet with certain homeowners to
ascertain what, if anything, might be required of me to obtain
their cooperation. Thereafter I was to report back to the board
my findings and to make a proposal for being released from the
C.C,&RS. I was informed by the contiguous property owners that
they would be willing to see me go forward with my project, and
without the performance of any mitigating measures. In my
discussion with Mr. Pacitto, he added that he would like to see my
project developed with the community in mind. I then made a
proposal to the Board which included the following:
1) to personally assist the association with its endeavors to
up-grade its community,
2) to make a financial contribution of $ 10,000 to the
Association,
3) and to involve the board in my plot plan submission,
relative to tenant-mix and building configuration.
During my second meeting with the board I was asked if I would
also be willing to assist in the cost of making certain specified
improvements at the northwest and southwest corners of Deportola
and Margarita which would serve as monumentation and define the
entry to Los Ranchitos. I agreed that I would also be willing to
participate in those costs.
It would appear that we are moving ever closer to a resolve.
However, in its letter to the Planning Commission, dated December
10, 1991, the board requested a further delay by the Planning
Commission. The Board stated as its reasons for a further delay
as follows:
1) desire to speak with the school district,
2) desire to speak with Santiago Estates,
3) desire to speak with adjacent neighbors to the proposed
site,
4) desire to speak with
5) desire to understand
special uses, etc.
other community members,
set backs, landscaping, buffers,
Regarding item ~1; desire to speak with the school district:
I spoke to Bob Costland, who represents the school board, on
Thursday, December 12, and his only comment was that he did not
want to see beer and wine sold within 200 feet of the school.
Further, Dr. David Eurich, a school board member and member of Los
Ranchitos has stated his willingness to see the project go forward.
Regarding item ~2; desire to speak with Santiago Estates:
Santiago Estates is so far removed from the site, and in as much
as Santiago Estates did not take a position regarding Bedford's
forty acres of commercial property, it hardly seems fair to seek
their opinion regarding this matter,
Regarding item ~3; desire to speak with the adjacent property
owners: The board has met with the adjacent property owners and
pursuant to the board's letter, dated December 9, 1991, I quote in
part, "The Board has also had an opportunity to speak with Mrs.
Abernathy and Mr. Pacitto regarding your development plans...Our
understanding of their positions is similar to yours, but with some
important clarifications", namely Mrs Abernathy feels like its a
moot issue, given that Bedford's project is going forward, and, as
I said before, Mr. Pacitto wants the site developed with the
community in mind.
Regarding item ~4; desire to speak with other community
members: Pursuant to its letter addressed to all homeowners, dated
September 20, 1991, which I quote in part,
the ramifications of his request and asks
giving him a signature at this time... we

Finally, regarding item ~5; desire to understand set backs,
landscaping, etc: The Board has been in possession of a copy of
the
Specific Plan for longer than one month, yet only two Board members
have reviewed it. That is understandable given that it looks like
an encyclopedia and is difficult, if not boring reading. The point
that I wish to make is that item ~5 is covered in substantial
detail, and provides for more substantial buffers, landscaping, and
set backs than could be possibly contemplated by the Association
for its own community. The Specific Plan provides for an
attractive and continuous buffer, beginning at Hwy 79 and
continuing to the high school. Further, the planning staff has
required compliance with Specific Plan 219 to assure continuity in
development.
I will admit that certain details need to be addressed between
myself and the Association, but it is not necessary to delay the
zone change. My objective is to comply with the desires of the
Association, so far as it is possible, so that I may be released
from the C.C.&Rs. While I was not anxious to receive your
direction in October, I have, never the less, complied with it.
I intend to involve the Association in the building orientation and
in determining tenant mix, with the only exception being that the
project must be able to be financed. I, therefore request that the
Commission vote this night in favor of Specific Plan, Amendment ~2.
May I address questions or concerns at this time?

Television/Radio Antenna Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 92-__ recommending
adoption of the Antenna Ordinance, entitled:
"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OFTEMECULA ADDING CHAPTER 6TO THE
TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO
ANTENNA REGULATIONS AND ESTABLISHING
REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF ANTENNAS,"
PROPOSAL
An Ordinance establishing regulations for the use of Antennas. The purpose for preparing the
proposed Antenna Ordinance is due to the inadequacy of the County Ordinance No. 348 as
it relates to Antennas.
BACKGROUND
On December 16, 1991, the Planning Commission considered an ordinance which establishes
regulations for the installation of commercial transmitting antennas and non-commercial
antennas, which includes satellite dish, television/radio and FCC licensed amateur radio
antennas. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission continued this item in
order to allow the City Attorney the opportunity to clarify the conditional uses provisions
within the ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The Conditional Uses provisions have been amended to eliminate any reference to satellite
receiving antennas, which is consistent with recent court decisions. In addition, the City
Attorney has simplified the Operational Criteria and Performance Standards. The amortization
period for non-conforming antennas has also been extended from one year to two years.
The City Attorney will be available the night of the meeting to respond to any questions.
S\STAFFRPT\ANTENNA2,ORD
CONCLUSION
The proposed Antenna Ordinance provides the City with the standards to thoroughly review
an applicant's proposal as well as providing the necessary control measures needed to ensure
the public safety; to provide organization; and control the overall quality and number of such
antennas. In addition, the proposed ordinance provides adequate regulation in order to comply
with the FFC's order.
The new Antenna Ordinance will serve as interim regulations until the City's Zoning
Development Code is prepared and adopted. At that time, this Ordinance will be incorporated
and/or modified into the final Zoning Development Code.

be charged to an applicant for a variance that is required solely for the purposes of complying
with the Ordinance. Any variance so granted is revocable for failure by the applicant or
property owner to comply with the conditions imposed. A variance shall be issued for an
antenna if it meets the following standards:
(a) Locating the antenna in conformance with the specification of this Ordi-
nance would obstruct or otherwise excessively interfere with reception, and such obstruction
or interference involves factors beyond the applicant's control; or, the cost of meeting the
specifications of this Ordinance is excessive, given the cost of the proposed antenna.
(b) The variance application includes a certification that the proposed
installation is in conformance with applicable City Building Code regulations. Furthermore, the
application must contain written documentation of such conformance, including load
distributions within the building's support structure and certified by a registered engineer.

constructed and erected prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, which do not conform
to the requirements of the provisions of this Ordinance for the particular zone in which they
are located, shall be accepted as non-conforming uses for a period of two (2) years from the
date of the adoption of this Ordinance.
Section 3. SEVERABILITY. The City Council hereby declares that the provisions of
this Ordinance are severable and if for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold
any sentence, paragraph, or section of this Ordinance to be invalid, such decisions shall not
affect the validity of the remaining parts of this Ordinance.

REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF ANTENNAS."
An Ordinance establishing regulations for the use of
Antennas. The purpose for preparing the proposed Antenna
Ordinance is due to the inadequacy of the County Ordinance
No. 348 as it relates to Antennas.
On October 21, 1991, the Planning Commission considered
an ordinance which establishes regulations for the insta/lation
of commercial transmitting antennas and non-commercial
antennas, which includes satellite dish, television/radio and
H.A.M. radio antennas. At the conclusion of the public
hearing, the Commission continued this item in order to allow
the City Attorney and the Planning Staff the opportunity to
further evaluate the following issues:
1. Should all types of roof-mounted antennas be
pwhibited within residential developments.
2. Are H.A.M. radio antennas exempt from all of the
standards of the proposed ordinance.
3. Provide addition legal information regarding the
regulations for l-I.A.M.radios.
A:DtRECTIONAL SiGN
DISCUSSION:
CONCLUSION:
Pursuant to the direction of the Planning Commission, staff
has reviewed the above issues and has prepared the following
analysis:
Common residential skeletal type radio and television
antennas used to receive UHF, VHF, AM and FM
signals of off-air broadcasts from radio and television
stations are exempt from the requirements of the
proposed Antenna Ordinance.
H.A.M.radio antennas are not totally exempt from the
requirements from the proposed Antenna Ordinance in
that the following standards have been included:
No part of any amateur radio antenna shall
exceed sixty-five (65) feet in height.
Not more than one (1) amateur radio antenna
support structure and one (I) whip antenna
structure in excess of thirty (30) feet in height
shall be permitted per parcel.
Allamateur radio antennas shall comply with the
Design and Performance Standards as set forth
in the proposed ordinance.
The legal opinion regarding the regulations for H.A.M.
radio antennas willbe presented by the City Attorney
at the Public Hearing.
The proposed Antenna Ordinance provides the City with the
standards to thoroughly review an applicant's proposal as well
as providing the necessary control measures needed to
ensure the public safety; to provide organization; and control
the overall quality and number of such antennas. In addition,
the proposed ordinance provides adequate regulations in
order to comply with the FCC's Order.
The new Antenna Ordinance willserve as interim regulations

wires shall not be anchored within any front yard area
but may be attached to the building.
(e) The antenna, including guy wires, supporting
structures and accessory equipment, shall be located
and designed so as to minimize the visual impact on
surrounding properties and from public streets. The
materials user in constructing the antenna shall not be
unnecessarily bright, shiny, garish, or reflective.
(f) Every antenna must be adequately grounded, for
protection against a direct strike of lightning, with
an adequate ground wire. Ground wires shall be of the
type approved by the latest edition of the Electrical
Code for grounding masts and lightning arresters and
shall be installed in a mechanical manner, with as few
bends as possible, maintaining a clearance of at least
two inches from combustible materials. Lightning
arresters shall be user that are approved as safe by
the Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. and both sides of
the line must be adequately'protected with proper
arresters to remove static charges accumulated on the
line. When lead-in conductors of polyethylene ribbon-
type are used, lightning arresters must be installed in
each conductor. When coaxial cable or shielded twin
lead is used for lead-in, suitable protection may be

of Ordinance No. 348, any person may seek a variance from the
provisions of this Ordinance. No fee shall be charged to an
applicant for a variance that is required solely for the purposes
of complying with the Ordinance. Any variance so granted ie
revocable for failure by the applicant or property owner to
comply with the conditions imposed. A variance shall be issued
for an antenna if it meets the following standards:
(a) Locating the antenna in conformance with the
specification of this Ordinance would obstruct or
otherwise excessively interfere with reception, and
such obstruction or interference involves factors
beyond the applicant~s control~ or, the cost of meeting
the specifications of this Ordinance is excessive,
given the cost of the proposed antenna.
(b) The variance application includes a certification

PROJECT STATISTICS
Total Acres: .97
Building Area: 3,558 square feet
Landscape Area: 439 square feet
Total Seating: 95 indoor seats/28 proposed outdoor seats
Proposed Playground
and Patio Area: 1,270 square feet
BACKGROUND
The project was originally submitted to the City of Temecula on May 15, 1991. On August
19, 1991, Plot Plan No. 233 for a Carl's Jr. restaurant was approved by the Planning
Commission. Subsequently, on September 3, 1991, Plot Plan No. 233 Revision No. 1 was
submitted to the City of Temecula for a 1,270 square foot playground and patio addition.
Currently the subject site is vacant and construction has not yet commenced.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject project is located on the northwest corner of Rancho California Road and
Margarita Road (see Exhibit A). Plot Plan No. 233 Revised No. 1 proposes to construct a
1,270 square foot playground and patio area along the south elevation of the approved
subject building. The restaurant proposes 95 indoor seats and 28 outdoor seats for parental
supervision in the proposed playground/patio area.
Plot Plan No. 233 Revised No. 1 has been designed in accordance with the standards of the
C-1/C-P (General Commercial) zone.
ANALYSIS
Circulation/Traffic/Parking
The proposed improvements will have no impact on circulation, traffic and parking. The
existing parking, as approved under Plot Plan No. 233, is adequate to serve the site. The
center is required to have 834 parking spaces per Ordinance No. 348 (5.5 spaces/2,000
square feet of gross floor space). The center has provided 871 parking spaces and therefore,
the addition of 28 outdoor seats will be able to be absorbed by the existing parking.
Architectural Compatibility
The play equipment is approximately 12 feet in height and will not exceed the height of the
existing building fascia.
The proposed playground and patio area which faces Rancho California Road will be screened
with e 6 foot black wrought iron fence. Additional screening through landscaping has been
included as Condition of Approval No. 10, whereby the applicant shall receive approval from
the Director of Planning for landscape plans which adequately provide for the screening of the
play area from the adjacent public right-of-way.

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 aspects currently existing in the proposal's existing site.
The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way, (Rancho California
Road)~ which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic.
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.
Said findings are supported by minutes, maps, exhibits and environmental documents
associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. Supporting
documentation is attached.

Compatibility with Surrounding Properties
The project site is located in a developed commercial area and is surrounded predominantly
by general commercial uses which were approved under Plot Plan No. 10739 under the
jurisdiction of Riverside County on October 24, 1988. The proposed playground is a typical
accessory use to fast food restaurants and will be screened from view by the proposed 6' iron
fence, and landscaping.
ZONING, FUTURE GENERAL PLAN AND SWAP CONSISTENCY
The project as conditioned, conforms with the existing zoning (C-1/C-P) affecting the subject
property and is compatible with Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) land uses recommendations for
the site commercial. As such, it is likely that Plot Plan No. 233 Revision No. 1 will be
consistent with the City's General Plan recommendations for the property in question, upon
the plan's final adoption.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The proposed project is a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the
CEQA guidelines. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new,
small facilities or structure; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small
structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where
only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure.
FINDINGS:
There is a reasonable probability that Plot Plan No. 233 Revision No. 1 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 the 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 Ordinance No. 348 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.
The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or
welfare. The project is categorically exempt per the CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND
On August 20, 1990, the Planning Commission approved Plot Plan No. 86 requesting
construction of a 60 foot tower with a 10 foot microwave dish mounted on its upper portion.
The visual impact of the tower was mitigated through landscaping around the tower and
accessory building, as well as by enclosing all equipment and structures with an ornamental
wrought iron fence.
Plot Plan No. 86 Revised No. 1 was submitted to the City of Temecula on October 29, 1991.
The case was originally scheduled for Development Review Committee (DRC) on November
21, 1991 and was subsequently placed on the December 5, 1991 DRC agenda where a
Planning Commission date was established.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject project is located at 30975 La Serena Way (east side of La Serena Way,
approximately 500 feet north of South General Kearny Road). See Exhibit A. Plot Plan No.
86, Revised No. 1 is an application requesting construction of a 225 square foot addition to
an existing structure, a 120 square foot generator pad and a 1,000 gallon propane tank site.
The 225 square foot addition will consist of a storage room and an equipment room and will
be a continuation of the architectural style of the existing structure. The proposed generator
will be enclosed by retaining walls to the north and east and a 5 foot high noise abatement
wall to the west. A 1,000 gallon propane tank will be on the southeast corner of the site.
The applicant has submitted Plot Plan No. 86, Revised No. 1 in order to upgrade cable
facilities, to add additional stations, and to improve reception capabilities. The generator is
for emergency back-up communications networks (police, fire) and to broadcast information
to the general public. The propane tank (if full) would keep the generator running for
approximately 30 days. The landscaping, which is already in place will serve as adequate
screening for the proposed additions to the site and no additional landscaping is necessary.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the analysis above, it is Staff's determination that impacts of the proposed project
will be negligible to the surrounding uses. The addition of a generator to the site will be an
asset to the City in the event of an emergency in terms of communications between agencies
(fire, police) and for the general public. The project as designed and conditioned also
conforms with the City's existing zoning ordinances and SWAP guidelines and as such will
also likely conform with the city's future General Plan.
FINDINGS
There is a reasonable probability that Plot Plan No. 86 Revised No. 1 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.
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 Ordinance No. 348 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. The
proposed use will be placed on or adjacent to an existing structure.
The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or
welfare. The project is categorically exempt per the CEQA Guidelines.
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 aspects currently existing in the proposal's existing site.
The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way (South General Kearny
Road), which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic.
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.
Said findings are supported by minutes, maps, exhibits and environmental documents
associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. Supporting
documentation is attached.
ANALYSIS
The proposed project is located in Planning Area 45 of Specific Plan No. 199 (Margarita
Village). Article VIII e, Section 8.101 of Ordinance No. 348 is the applicable development
standard for the Planning Area. Building setbacks for front, side and rear are required to be
not less than 50 feet per Ordinance No. 348. The existing and proposed uses for the site do
not meet the minimum setback criteria. It is Staff's opinion, that due to the location of the
project in relation to surrounding uses that the 50 foot setback criteria is indirectly met. There
is a park to the north, south and west of the project site and a 120 foot wide Metropolitan
Water District easement to the east of the site.
Staff was concerned with the amount of noise and duration of operation of the proposed
generator. The applicant supplied information which indicated that at a distance of 200 feet,
the generator would create noise at 47 decibels, without a noise attenuation wall. The
proposed project includes a noise attenuation wall around the generator which would, in
Staff's opinion, reduce any impacts from noise to a level of less than significant.
Ingress and egress to the site is along a 20 foot wide recorded easement on the Metropolitan
Water District easement. Concern was raised regarding access to the site during inclement
weather. This issue has been rectified and has been incorporated in the Conditions of
Approval per the Department of Public Works. The condition requires that the 20 foot wide
access road to the property shall be improved to all weather standards prior to issuance of
certification of occupancy.
EXISTING ZONING, FUTURE GENERAL PLAN AND SWAP CONSISTENCY
The project as conditioned, conforms with existing zoning (S-P) affecting the subject property
and is compatible with Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) land uses recommendations for the site
(S-P). As such, it is likely that Plot Plan 86, Revised No, I will be consistent with the City's
General Plan recommendations for the property in question, upon the plan's final adoption.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed project is a Class I Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (e) (1) of
the CEQA guidelines. Class I exemptions relates to the operation, repair, maintenance, or
minor alterations of existing facilities of both investor or publically-owned utilities used to
provide electric power, natural gas, sewage, or other public utility services provided that the
addition will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the
structure before the addition , or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less.

The applicant submitted revised drawings in November of 1991 which addressed the concerns
of the Planning Commission relative to density reduction. The item was then scheduled for
public heating at the request of the applicant, in order to shorten processing time. Subsequent
to the item being scheduled for public heating, Staff identified several issues on the proposed

As a result of the applicant's failure to address these concerns relative to the Tentative Map, the

BACKGROUND
The skating hall is located in an existing commercial center which was previously approved
by the County. The applicant applied for this Conditional Use No. 15 permit on November 27,
1991 to obtain approval for a Roller Skating Hall, which is a conditionally permitted use in the
C-P-S zone district.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a Tenant Improvement in an existing building for a Roller Skating Hall
which includes a large open area for skating and a support area including office space, snack
bar, lockers, restrooms and a party room.
ANALYSIS
The only potential concern for this project is the number of parking spaces available for the
center. However, the following discussion should demonstrate that the existing 107 parking
spaces are adequate for the entire center with full occupancy. The following table
summarizes the required number of parking spaces for each of the uses in the center:
Use SQuare Feet
Number of Parking
Soaces ReQuired
Auto Repair 4, 150 28
Restaurant 1,593 11
Retail &Office 3,900 20
Skating Hall 13,300 43
Vacant 7,805 40
Total 30,748 142
Parking Spaces Provided 107
Parking Shortage 35
The above analysis shows that the center at full occupancy will be short 35 parking spaces.
Presently 7,805 square feet of the center remains vacant, besides the skating hall.
$~STAFFRFI~I 5.CUP 2
This center, as approved, is under parked for retail and office uses. If the center were all
leased out as retail and office spaces the parking requirement would be 154 spaces where
only 107 spaces are provided. The skating hall will not exacerbate the situation for a number
of reasons:
It is predominately a night time user.
The existing uses are predominately day users.
The clientele for the skating are expected to be teenagers, who usually car pool and/or
are dropped off by parents,
For the above mentioned reasons, staff feels adequate parking exists. A Condition of
Approval has been added as a safeguard which allows the Director of Planning to bring back
the CUP before the Planning Commission for further review in the event parking becomes a
problem.
EXISTING ZONING, SWAP AND FUTURE GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project, contingent upon approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit, conforms with
existing C-P-S zone affecting the subject property, and is compatible with Southwest Area
Plan C (Commercial) land use recommendations for the site. Overall parking available to
support the proposed use is considered adequate at present. As such, it is likely, Conditional
Use Permit No. 15 will be consistent with the City's General Plan recommendations for the
property in question, upon the Plan's final adoption.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and it has been found to be a Class I Categorical Exemption, Section 15301. This section
identifies interior alterations to existing structures as categorically exempt.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
This project is, in Staff's opinion, a good amenity the community and as discussed in the
Analysis section, it is not anticipated the use not cause a parking shortage in the center.
Furthermore, the project is consistent with the existing zoning, SWAP designation and it is
anticipated the project will be consistent with the Future General Plan.
FINDINGS
The project will not cause a shortage of parking spaces in the center as the skating hall
is predominately a night time user; the existing uses are predominately day users, and
the clientele for the skating hall are teenagers who usually car pool or are dropped off
by parents.
The project is a positive recreational amenity for all members of the community, but
particularly for children and young adults.
S~BTAFFRPT~I 5.CUP 3
The site is suitable for the proposed use and it will not have a negative effect on the
other businesses in the center in that the existing parking spaces will be sufficient to
accommodate all the demand generated by this use and all other uses per Finding
No. 1.
The project as Conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or welfare, in that
the Conditions of Approval include measures that will ensure the public health and
welfare.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission:
ADOPT Resolution No. 92- approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 15 based on the
Findings contained in the Staff Report and subject

ROLLER SPORTS FACT SHEET
24,000 skating athletes register annually for 800 local, invitafional, and league competitions
sanctioned by the United States Amateur Confederation of Roller Skating. The skaters belong to
more than 900 clubs located throughout the 50 states. Nearly all of these clubs are based at
RSROA member skating centers.
The U.S. Amateur Confederation of Roller Skating is recognized as the National Governing Body
for amateur competitive roller sports in this Country. The Confederation is a Class A member of
the United States Olympic Commiffee and roller skating is recognized as an Olympic-level sport
within the U.S.
Roller skating athletes participate in the U.S. Olympic Festival, formerly known as the National
Sports Festival. The Festival, an event of the U.S. Olympic Commiffee, Includes 34 sports and
3,000 of America's best amateur athletes in Olympic and Pan American sports.
Roller skating is a Pan American sport. World Class athletes who qualify through participation in
the 1986-87 competitions and training programs may earn places on the 1987 USA Roller Skating
Team for the Pan American Games in Indianapolis, August 7-23. Artistic, speed and hockey
events are all included in the Pan American competition. Roller skating joined the Pan Am
Games program in 1979.
Roller skating is not yet a participating Olympic sport. It meets the necessary reclulrements set by
the International Olympic Commiffee, but has not yet been able to win enough votes in IOC Pro-
gram Commi~ee meetings to earn a place in the schedule. As roller sports continue to develop
in Eastern Bloc nations, the necessary votes should be won,
In the United States, the largest number of skaters participate in artistic events, speed skating is
next, and roller hockey Is smallest. Worldwide, however, roller hockey Is the most popular.
In 1985, over 180 public broadcasting stations nationwide talecast highlights of the National Ar-
tistic Roller Skating Championships, The 60-minute sports special featured the medal-winning
performances of the best artistic skating athletes in the U.S.
The U.S. Amateur Confederation of Roller Skating is a member of the Federation Intemationale
de Roller-Skating (FIRS), which is the international governing body for roller sports. FIRS was
established in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1924.
ROLLER SKATING HISTORY
Roller Skating Is All-American
Although there were many models of European roller skates in use throughout the ~9th century,
New Yorker James Plimpton invented the modern roller skate in '~863. It was called the "rocking
skate" and was the first to enable skaters to control their direction.
Plimpton introduced recreational roller skating through a private club he formed, called the New
York Roller Skating Association. He invited prominent New Yorkors, local officials, the clergy, and
the press to attend skating assemblies, so he could promote roller skating among the upper classes
of the city.
He also made an early contribution to the liberation of women. Plimpton especially extolled the
health benefits of roller skating for young women. Since many women were not allowed outside of
their homes in men's company unless they were very well chapcloned, Plimpfon pointed out to
concerned parents and churchmen that they'd have the opportunity to closely supervise the
young women's activities while they were at the skating club.
National Roller Skating Week
National Roller Skating Week commemorates roller skatlng's American birthday each year In the
fall. It serves as an opportunity to stimulate public awareness of the fitness and fun potential of this
recreation. Rink operators promote through special skating center activities, portfes, and contests
Intended to get people on skates and have fun.
The RSROA develops an informational kit each year in preparation for the festivities. It Includes facts
and figures of interest to the media, to educators, and to the general public. Local skating centers
focus their awareness activities to coincide with the information in the kit.
Special skating center activities may include:
· Hosting roller skating birthday parties, inviting area residents to skate at no cost.
· Ceremonies in which the staro's governor and/or the clty's mayor sign a proclamation recogniz-
ing Roller Skating Week.
· Private sessions saluting area educators and schools.
· Cooperative promotions with local businesses that highlight community service.
· Fund-raising sessions for charities such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the American
Heart Association.

A study completed in ~98~ under the supervision of UCLA physiologists and Dr. Allen Selner of Sher-
man Oaks, California, confirmed that roller skating is equivalent to running in terms of its health
benefits--caloric consumption, reduction of body fat, and leg strength development.
In a comparative study of 44 spods conducted for the President's Council on Physical Fitness and
Spods, roller skating ranked third, tied with swimming and just behind running and cycling, when
ranked for overall fitness benefits.

· Dr. Kenneth Cooper, fitness advisor to the U.S. Air Force and the "inventor" of Aerobics as a lifetime
exercise program for cardiovascular fitness

Association
"Enjoyment is the key ingredient in any exercise program. One of the big pluses about skating
is that it's not boring. You hear so many people who turn off on jogging, for instance, because
they find it monotonous. But we've found that people are staying with roller skating."

Who Roller Skates?
More than 30 million Americans. A recent survey by National Family Opinion, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio,
found that 3t .5 million people enjoy roller skating In the U.S.
Youngsters Roller Skate
The largest percentage of male [59 percent) and female [55 percent) skaters are 6 to 15 years
according to the Family Opinion survey.
Why9
,They can meet and socialize with their own age group.
,They enjoy skating to the varlely of music formats offered at the skating center.
,it's fun and inexpensive.
Families Roller Skate
Seventeen percent of America's households have one or more family members who roller skate.
Why?
· It's a fun activity all family members can do.
· It's a popular group activity among churches, YMCA, Y~VCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire,
PTA, Big Brothers, Parents Without Partners, etc.
Where Do These People Skate?
· At 2,000 roller skating centers coast-to-coast
[22.5 million people skate indoors exclusively]
· On boardwalks, park paths and any stretch of smooth pavement
[7.3 million skate indoors and out, while 1.4 million skate outdoors exclusively]
· In metropolitan, suburban and rural communities
Where Do They Come From?
Households with:
.Larger families
.Higher average annual incomes
.Younger, better educated parents
.Parents in white coltar occupations
It is staff's opinion that the request to expand this operation should be denied. Additionally,
the existing facilities should be made to conform with the building and fire codes. As an
option the Planning Commission may allow the applicant thirty (30) days to comply with all
the City requirements. If the property is not brought into compliance within that period then
the Planning Commission may direct the Building Official to start the revocation process on
the Public Use Permit Number 580. This option is available to the Planning Commission
through Ordinance 348, Section 18.31, Findings and Procedure for Revocation of Variances
and Permits (refer to Exhibit "F"). According to this Section the Building Official has the
authority to revoke this permit if one or more of the following findings are made:
That the use is detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare, or is a public
nuisance.
2. That the permit was obtained by fraud or perjured testimony.
3. That the use is being conducted in violation of the terms and conditions of the permit.
That the use for which the permit was granted has ceased or has been suspended for
one year or more.
Clearly, in Staff's opinion, findings No. 1 and No. 3 could be made for this project in that the
mobile structures have been deemed unsafe by the Department of Building and Safety and are
not approved as classrooms and the Conditions of Approval for Public Use Permit Number 580
have not been fully complied with (i.e., the project was never built per the approved site plan).
ZONING, FUTURE GENERAL PLAN AND SWAP CONSISTENCY
The SWAP and zoning designation is Specific Plan. The project is not consistent with the
Rancho Highlands Specific Plan Design Guidelines. The objective of these guidelines is to
establish a unique community identity. The mobile structures and the landscaping do not
create this unique community identity and are not consistent with the rest of the Specific Plan
interns of the architecture and landscape design. Therefore, the project is not consistent with
SWAP and the zoning.
The project will not be consistent with the future General Plan as it will jeopardize the public
health and welfare with unapproved structures that are used as classrooms.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
Staff has concluded that these structures are not safe to be used as classrooms and they
need to be certified by the Building and Safety Department and the Fire Department. The
project is not consistent with existing zoning, the SWAP and it is anticipated the project wi)l
be inconsistent with the future General Plan as discussed in the Analysis section.
The structures have been in violation of several codes and standards for over five years.
Therefore, Staff recommends denial of this request.

LOCAL REPORT
TEMECULA -- A 10-foot high wire
fence marks the property line between
Rancho Temecula Bible Church and
School and Barbara Hughes' back yard.
And she is sick of looking at it.
'My family has absolutely no privacy
with that thing," said Hughes. 'We can't
have a barbecue, we can't have anything
without facing a lot of people in our
~ backyard."
Hughes' teen-aged daughter does not
like to sun-tan in the Imckyard any more,
. becguse she has been beckled by the
school's teen-aged bo~ so many times.
"My daughter goes~mt to sun herself and
there's 20-some boys running around for
P.E. (physical educa~on) class. She should
be able to go out in the yard and use it
whenever she wants to, we all should."
Her husband, Robert, who commutes
from Temecula to his job in Costs Mesa, is
· awakened at 10 p .m. daily to the sounds of
. starting can trod bri~l~t lights shining
through the bedroom window. Hu~,hps
Pastor Kerry Martin of Rancho
Temecula said he wants to be able to save
money for permanent buildings at the
church.
'We have almost all temporary buildings
and our church is very active and growing,"
he said. "We don't want to have problems
with our neighbors here, but ifI am going
to spend money, it's going to be on
permanent buildings, not a wall.~
Martin said that his public-use-permit
from the city only requires a chain-link
"If she (Hughes) wants a wall, maybe she
ought to pay for it? he said. "Otherwise, we
can't seem to make her happy?
Church officials are now talking to the
city Planning Department and may be
required to put up a w~ll, Martin said.
"That would be an expensive
proposition. We would be willing to split
the cost with the neighbors if they wanted
t~.t's no good,' she said. Dinners are a problem, too.
"Whenever we sit down to eat dinner, the
kids are playing ball over at the church and
invariably, as soon as we get started on the
meal, a ball comes flying over into our yard.
Of course, the kids can't climb a ten-foot
high fence, so one of us always gets up and
gives them back the ball. It's just continual
annoyances," Hughes said.
The family wants the fencing removed
and replaced by a wall.
"If it won't block out the sound, at least it
will give us a little privacy," Hughes said.
Neighbors Ray and Elllien Colbert agree.
"Nobody likes that fence ,. said Eftlien
Colbert. "It's not exactly attractive and our
neighbors are really having a hard time
selling their house because people take one
look at the fence and what's behind it --
(the mobile units that make up many of the
church's buildings) and they don't want to
move in there. It's making our property
values go down."
Together, the families of Cabo Street

Dear Mr. Marshall:
As per your request yesterday, I am writing the city another letter in
regards to Permit Use #580 Rancho Temecula Bible Church on Santiago.
You should now be in receipt of a complaint form filed in June 1990, a
neighborhood petition signed in July 1990, and a memo from Gary Thornhill,
to David Dixon dated August 30, 1990. Also, I have spoken numerous times
to Karen Castro, Charlie Rey, two times to you, once to Dave Dixon, twice
to Gary Thornhill and other employees whose name I do not remember.
However, by now I would think the entire department remembers my name
and most of the employees have told me not to call them anymore as the
case is out of their hands. Most recently, Charlie Rey has redirected me to
you....you tell me however the problem is being discussed once again by the
City Manager and the City Attorney. Both the City Manager and the City
Attorney were discussing this same problem lost August to no avail
for me.
It seems entirely redundant to repeat my concerns about the property on
Santiago...the Church. Quickly outlined, the once small historical church
has grown and also became a school from grades K to 12. There is no solid
screening between our properties. I am subjected to not only constant
weekend Church activities including Wednesday night youth group meetings
and other Church related meetings which involves automobile headlights,
people talking, general activity noise and loss of pMvacy but now I have to
deal with daily school activities with an enrollment over 200 plus
students. This includes a school bell, physical education classes, traffic
and general noise and activity appropriate to any school situation. I do not
feel comfortable using my backyard. I feel exposed, vunerable to theft,
trespassing persists, headlights illuminate our house, sleep is lost and our
teenage daughter gets heckled by students everyday. She cannot work on a
tan like other teens. We have no backyard yet pay heafty taxes for one.
To make matters worse, last year the church poured black top and erected
a I0 foot chain !ink fence without a permit along our property line. They
put up a basketball pole, and hoops. Kids love to play volleyball, hockey
and other sports daily in this area. Balls are always coming into our yard.
They yell to us to retrieve the balls or some come into the yard to get the
balls. This fence is ugly. Seriously affecting the value of my property. It
needs to come down The church put thai fence up knowino full well thou
we also hope the city puts time limitations on the use of these temporary
buildings as they are nonconforming, mixmatched group of mobiles which is
very unsightly.

FINDINGS
The approval of this project is detrimental to the public health, safety and general
welfare, in that the drive aisles do not meet the minimum 24 feet required by
Ordinance No. 348 and the Fire Department, and in that the existing structures are not
approved to be used as classrooms.
There is a reasonable probability that Public Use Permit No. 580 Revised No. 1, will not
be consistent with the City's future General Plan, in that it will be detrimental to the
public health, safety and general welfare for the reasons mentioned in Finding Number
1.
The project is inconsistent with the approved Specific Plan No. 180, Rancho Highlands,
in that the mobile units do not meet the Design Guidelines.
The project has been a nuisance to the adjoining property owners, in that the chain link
fence does not provide an effective buffer between the school playgrounds and the
existing residences.
The project applicant has been uncooperative with Staff in correcting the mentioned
deficiencies in the Staff Report in that the structures remain unapproved and present
a danger to the students using the facilities.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission:
ADOPT Resolution No. 92-_ denying Public Use Permit No. 580
Revised No. 1, based on the analysis and findings contained the

BACKGROUND
On December 4, 1986 the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved Public Use Permit
Number 580. This permit allowed the applicant to build a Sanctuary, to relocate an existing
church building to the site to be used as a multi-purpose building and to locate two mobile
units to be used as classrooms for the school for a total of four structures.
The project, as constructed, is not consistent with the County approval. In addition, mobile
structures were placed on the site without proper permits and approvals. These structures
are used as classrooms. Exhibits "D" and "E" show the original site plan approval by the
County and the existing site plan, respectively.
On July 5, 1990 the residents complained to the City regarding the noise from the increased
number of students and the ineffectiveness of the chain link fence as a buffer between the
school and the residents (refer to Exhibit I). At that time the City became aware of the
inconsistencies of the built project with the approved exhibits. The City indicated these
inconsistencies to the applicant in the October 10, 1990 correspondence from the City
Attorney and requested the applicant to file for a Revision to Public Use Permit No. 580 (refer
to Exhibit H). On February 26, 1991 the applicant filed for this revision.
At the March 28, 1991 Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting and two subsequent
DRC meetings the following issues were identified:
Uncertified and unapproved mobile structures used as classrooms are existing on site.
Substandard parking aisle widths exist on site.
The chain link fence on the southern property line is not a sufficient buffer between
the church playground and the existing residences.
The applicant has been aware of these issues; however, they all remain unresolved.
Therefore, Staff has brought the matter before the Planning Commission for action.
ANALYSIS
This project was approved over five years ago by Riverside County and it has always been in
violation of the approved Public Use Permit No. 580. The facility is in violation of several
building and fire codes; therefore, Staff is not supportive of expanding the operation.
