Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan Proposed Master Plan for Sam Hicks Monument Park that will include a concert stand/gazebo, picnic tables, benches, renovation of an existing church, play equipment, a rose garden, a restroom and other amenities, along with provisions for approximate 22,425 square feet of museum space (to be constructed in three phases). Located at the northeast intersection of Moreno Road and Marcedes Street. Senior Management Analyst Phyllis Ruse presented the staff report, Vince DiDonato of the Alhambra Group, design consultant for the project, provided s slide presentation along with an overview of the proposed project. Chairman Ford asked if staff has discussed the access off of Mercedes with the Fire Department which shares parking at the park site. Mr. DiDonato said he will make sure the Fire Department is made aware of the proposal. 3. Changes In Redden'dd Production Unit Sizes Senior Planner John Meyer presented the staff report. He explained that in the last month, there have been a number of proposals by residential developers requesting approval to downsize previoudy approved residential subdivisions. Mr. Meyer said this has resulted in several phone calls from concerned property owners regarding the impact these smaller homes may have on their property values. Commissioner Fahey said she feels a more appropriate transition to the smaller unit sizes would be a mix of sizes rather than creating rows of smaller houses adjacent to the larger houses. The following individuals expressed their concerns regarding downsizing. Many of these individuals are residents of the Chardonnay Hills development where thedeveloper is proposing downsizing units and amenities within the project. Many of the concerns related to the potential impact this could have on property values. Ray Serna, 32365 Cercle LaTour, Temecula. Nick Walpert, 41065 Vintage Circle, Temecula. Carl Hoffman, 32202 Placer Belaire, Temecula, asked the residents of the Chardonnay Hills development to understand the developer is trying to make the project a success by putting in homes applicable to rodaye market. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 7. 1994 Kerry ONeal, 32347 Cercle LaTour, Temecula. Nam-Yong Horn, 31467 Sonoma Lane, Temecula, presented a petition opposing the downsizing of units and relocation of the recreational amenities in the Chardonnay Hills development, Jim Horn, 31467 Sonoma Lane, Temecula. Emile Haddad. 100 N. Bayview Circle, Newport Beach, representing Bramalea, explained to the Commission the developer's proposal to downsize the homes, yet to be built within the project. Del Steffen, 32326 Cercle LaTour, Temecula, suggested the Commission address the degree of downsizing and what would be an applicable transition. Director Thornhill asked the Commission to provide their thoughts on this matter and staff will compile the comments from the City Council, the Commission and the community and bring a report back to the Commission. Commissioner Hoagland said he feels the important issues and some of his concerns are as follows: what percentage of lots may be left unbuilt. reductions in the minimum square footage, would tether have a smaller mix within the approved range of square footage. impacts of the whole thrust of downsizing. importance of transition. Commissioner Blair said she feels the established ranges within the General Plan address this matter and the City is possibly addressing this matter prematurely. She said she feels transition is very important and the community should assist the developer in completing a project. Commissioner Blair said of the two sample ordinances, she favors the Murriets ordinance. Commissioner Fahey said she is having difficulty envisioning the transition zone in the example of the Murrieta ordinance and would recommend stating no more than a 10% reduction from one house to another. Commissioner Fahey said she preferred to see a change in the mix of unit sizes, rather than a reduction. She said she could recommend no more than a 10% reduction from the lowest square footage in a particular project. Commissioner Salyer said he feels the developer should be held to the promises that were made when people bought their house. He asked staff to continue researching other cities for ordinances on downsizing. Commissioner Salyer said he agrees with the concept of no more than a 10% reduction and warned this is a long term decision and should be studied carefully. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 7. 1994 Chairman Ford said he concerned about some of the approved development agreements and how they relate to downsizing. He said the fiscal ramifications should also be addressed. Chairman Ford declared a recess at 7:30 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 7:35 P.M. 4. Update of 1993 Amendments to the Califomia Environme,,:-; Qualm/Act (CEQA) Planner Craig Ruiz provided an overview of the report. 5.

Because of the issues relating to the Zev Buffman proposal for Old Town, the Old Town Steering Committee will be reactivated. Additionally, there will be several joint City Council and Planning Commission meetings. The City Council has requested that a Planning Commissioner attend the final Development Code Committee meeting. CommissionerArtSalyerend Chairman Steve Ford agreed to work as a team to participate on the committee. The ad-hoc committee to address the M.O.U. for Highway 79 South will be meeting on March 23, 1994, 6:00 P.M. at the Temecula City Hall Main Conference Room.

Current Plannine Deoartment Notice of Public Hearino Procedure Assistant Planner Matthew Fagan presented the staff report. Commissioner Blair said she would like particular attention paid to the notification through newspaper publications. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 21.1994 Commissioner Fahey said she is concerned that putting the signs up at the time of application may not be appropriate. Director Thornhill concurred. Commissioner Hoagland questioned which of the labeling procedures would be most cost effective and efficient. Matthew Fagan said one of the staff members has learned to prepare the labels and having City staff prepare the labels would be more cost effective than contracting for this service. Commissioner Hoagland said he feels having the labels prepared by the City will ensure that the labels are prepared correctly. Director Thornhill said he would like clarification on the length of time the signs should be posted. It was moved by Commissioner Hoagland, seconded by Commissioner Fahey to recommend to the City Council the Planning Commission recommending approval of the staff recommendation for changes in the notification procedures as follows: 1. City Staff will prepare individual notices for properties. 2. Signs noticing a public hearing will be posted at the time of public hearings and other aspects of staff's recommendation will be implemented. 3. The minimum number of residents to be noticed is amended to 30 or more. Commissioner Blair said she was not in favor of the signs being up for an extended length of time however, she is strongly supports the citizens knowing what is happening in the City and asked staff to compromise. Commissioner Blair said she was not in favor of or against the motion, she would like to see the recommendation brought back to the Commission with more conditions. Commissioner Salyer said he feels strongly the Public Notice signs should be posted and kept up to let people know what is happening on a piece of land until a decision has been made on that piece of land.

Soecific Plan No. 263 and Chenoe of Zone No. 5589 Specific Plan proposing a 1,375,000 square foot Commercial Core, 810,000 square feet of Office/Institutional at and Mixed Use Residential with 298,000 square feet of retail with an accompanying Change of Zone request changing the zoning from R-R (Rural Residential) and A-2-20 (Heavy Agriculture 20 acre minimum lot size) to SP (Specific Plan). Steve Jiannino presented the staff report. Chairman Ford opened the public hearing at 6:58 P.M. Dennis Chinieaff, representing Kemper CommunityDevelopment, provided an overview of the proposed project. John Dedovesh, 39450 Long Ridge Drive, Temecula, expressed his concern regarding the proposed office/institutional designation on the site. Mr. Dedovesh made reference to the existing vacant office/institutional properties in the City of Temecula. Sam Pratt, 40470 Brixton Cove, Temecula, expressed concern with the proposed commercial designation on the project. Mr. Pratt's concerns were directed at traffic generated by the proposed project. Dr. Brock KilBourne, 29821 Valle OIvera, Temecula, expressed concerns as follows: changes to North General Kearney Road, the need for a cumulative impact study and mitigation measures, the multiple interim stream beds and storm drain on the proposed site. Principal Engineer Ray Casey said there will be some revisions or addendums to the Campoe Verdes technical studies reqiured, specifically, the traffic study, once the project gets beyond the preliminary stages, which the applicant has agreed too. Mr. Casey explained that the projects listed on Page 5 of the staff report are proposed projects, except for the Winchester Road/I-15 Interchange ramp widening and Solaria Way Widening from Ynez Road to Margarita Road. Dennis Chinieaff said the developer is also concerned with the proposed office space, however, the plan anticipates a demand for the future and if the demand is not there, the office space will not be developed. Mr. Chiniaeff said the developer will address the stream bed on site if required. He said the developer understands the projects listed under .AD161 and CFD88-12 are proposed projects. Commissioner Fahey asked how the proposal is consistent with the General Plan and how the project fits into the Village Center concept, and what is being done to avoid isolating Planning Area 1. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 21, 1994 Director Thornhill said the proposal is identified as one of the Village Centers, specifically Planning Area 1. The areas along the 134' rights-of-way are difficult to make pedistrian friendly and you must build conventional shopping centers. Barry Burnell, T & B Planning Consultants, 3242 Halladay Street, Suite 100, Santa Ana, provided an overview of the traffic studies relating to the project, Commissioner Fahey said she does not feel the specific plan is specific enough. She said she would like to see how the village center concept is designed into Planning Area 1 and how that relates to Planning Area 2. Commissioner Ford asked that maximum densities in the Specific Plan be addressed. It was moved by Commissioner Fahey, seconded by Commissioner Blair to close the public hearing at 8:05 P.M. and continue this item to May 23, 1994. The motion carried as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: 5 COMMISSIONERS: 0 COMMISSIONERS: 0 COMMISSIONERS: Blair, Fehey, Hoegland, Salyer, Ford None None Chairman Ford declared a recess at 8:05 P.M.

Commissioner Fahey and Commissioner Hoegland stepped down due to a conflict of interest based on the close proximity of the project to their personal residences. Steve Jiannino presented the staff report. He advised that staff received an Alternative Land Use Plan "C" today which proposes no high density developments and placement of cul-de-sacs at Starling Street and Sanderling Street in the Roripaugh Hills development. Staff recommends to the Commission that these streets go through. PCMIN03/21194 4 4113/94 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 21, 1994 Chairman Ford opened the public hearing at 8:25 P.M. Dennis Chinieaff, representing Kemper Community Development, discussed some of the concerns addressed at the homeowner meetings with Meadowview and Roripaugh Hills residents. Mr. Chinieaff said he feels the streets should go through to allow the Roripaugh Hills residents access to the school and the park sites. Dave Gallaher, representing the school district advised the Commission the discussion of a school site in the specific plan is not new, but the location of the school is new John Koran, 40645 LaColima Road, Temecula, expressed appreciation to Kemper for addressing the concerns raised by the Meadowview homeowners. Mr. Koran said he is concerned that grading the hill on the site is going to increase noise and light to the Meadowview area. Dr. Brock Kilbourne, 29821 Valle Olvera, Temecula, said he environmental concerns regarding grading, flood control, and environmental impact of the proposed project. has the same the cumulative Paul Nelson, 40685 La Colima, Temecula, said he is very pleased with Alternative "C", however, he is concerned with the location of the school site. Mr. Nelson said he would like to see the school near the park site or on the interior of the project and not on North General Kearney Road. He said he is concerned with the close proximity of the school to the Meadowview equestrian center. Rick Salgudo, 40169 Tanager Circle, Temecula, said he supports Alternative C and would recommend the streets remain cul-de-sacs and not go through into the Roripaugh Hills development. Dick Bacon, 39721 Barbary Court, Temecula, said Alternative "C" would make all the residents of Roripaugh Hills very pleased. Commissioner Blair said she applauds the transition to Alternative Land Use "C". She said she can support the streets in Roripaugh Hills remaining closed since they are closed at this time. Commissioner Blair said she is uncertain about the school site. Commissioner Salyer said he supports Alternative "C". He said he feels it is important to minimize any impacts created by grading the hill on the project. Commissioner Salyer said he has mixed opinions about the opening of the streets through Roripaugh Hills. Chairman Ford said he is also concerned about the impacts created by grading the hill. He expressed concern about the location of the school site and said he supports the idea of having the school closer to the park site. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 21. 1994 Barry Burnell advised the Commission the State has developed strict standards for the placement of schools. Planning Director Gary Thornhill said he would like to see more pedestrian linkages throughout the project. It was moved by Commissioner Blair, seconded by Commissioner Salyer to close the public hearing at 9:10 P.M. and continue this item to the meeting of May 23, 1994. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Blair, Salyer, Ford NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSTAIN: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Fahey, Hoagland. ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None PLANNING DIRECTOR'S REPORT Director Thornhill reported the following: The City is moving forward on the implementation program for the Old Town area. The Main Street organization has been formed and the Old Town Merchants Association will carry forward their recommendations. The City has prepared a request for proposals on the Main Street Demonstration Project. A Planning Commissioner may be asked to participate in the interview process for the consultant. The City Council has directed staff to reactivate the Old Town Steering Committee to work on the Zev Buffman proposal for Old Town. A joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for April 7, 1994, which Commissioner Blair and Commissioner Fahey have stated they will not be able to attend. Commissioners interested in attending the March 24, 1994 meeting on the Regional Comprehensive Plan can notify the Planning Department Secretary who will make the reservations. PCMIN03/21194 6 4/13/94 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 21, 1994 PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT Engineer Ray Cesey advised the Commission there will be a March 23, 1994 meeting on the Highway 79 South M.O.U. with Cal Trans at 6:00 P.M. in the Temecula City Hall Main Conference Room. OTHER BUSINESS A Planning Commission Workshop is scheduled for April 25, 1994 on Johnson Ranch. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Commissioner Blair, seconded by Commissioner Hoagland to adjourn at 9:20 P.M. The motion was unanimous with Commissioner Fahey absent. The next regular meeting of the City of Temecula Planning Commission will be held on April 25, 1994, 6:00 P.M., Vail Elementary School, 29915 Mira Loma Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Steve Ford Secretary PCMIN03/21194 7 4/13/~4 ITEM #3 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Planning Commission Gary Thornhill, Planning Director April 25, 1994 Johnson Ranch Specific Plan MEMORANDUM Prepared By: Saied Naaseh, Associate Planner RECOMMENDATION: Receive Direction. Background Johnson Machinery has filed applications for an annexation to the City of Temecula, a General Plan Amendment to the Land Use, Circulation, Open Space and Conservation and Noise elements, a Specific Plan, a Development Agreement and an Environmental Impact Report. This project consists of 5,250 dwelling units, 38 acres of Village Center (including commercial and 315 units of multi family), 252 acres of Open Space, 61 acres of parks and 47 acres of schools for a total area of 1,761 acres. Staff has been reviewing these applications; however, the review process has not been completed. This workshop was scheduled to present the project to Planning Commission to identify key issues and receive direction from the Planning Commission on these issues. Attached is a copy of the "Summary Book" prepared by the applicant. Moreover, staff has identified some of the General Plan Goals and Policies (by astrict) that apply to this project (others may apply) and has also included a copy of the "Community Design Plan" section of the General Plan. Discussion The overall project concept proposed by the applicant is supported by staff. The centrally located Village Center along with appropriately located parks and schools are connected by trails to residential areas. However, many details need to be incorporated into the Specific Plan document in order to achieve consistency with the General Plan Goals and Policies. Staff will be working with the applicant to include these added provisions. Moreover, there are a number of major issues that staff would like to receive direction from the Planning Commission. The following is a list of these issues as identified by staff: The Village Center design. The proposed concept plan for the Village Center within the specific plan (refer to Figure 4b of the Summery Book) provides some necessary elements for a successful Village Center. They include a central location within the project, a grid street system with a "Main Street" commercial corridor with parking spaces fronting the stores and with parking at the rear of these stores. However, additional provisions need to be added to this concept plan as set forth in the General Plan. Specific recommendations are provided on pages 10-10 through 10-20 of the General Plan's Community Design element. Staff's specific concerns include: a. Design and access to buildings along the "Main Street" corridor, b. Provision of pedestrian plazas, C= Better pedestrian access points from the surrounding single family residential areas to the Village Center, d. Better integration of mixed uses, e. Higher density to promote mass transit and park-and-ride facilities. In addition staff feels the project's Village Center would be improved if multi family units were added or dispersed throughout and around the Village Center. By strategically locating smaller (75-100 unit) multi family nodes within the project the impacts associated with large multi family complexes could be reduced. At the same time, this may reduce the necessity for construction of perimeter walls usually associated with single family projects along major streets. This provision along with encouraging public institutional uses such as churches, as required by the General Plan Growth Management/Public Facilities element, would add to the diversity of the Village Center. Other public institutional uses such as libraries could also be appropriate in the Village Center. Tucalota Creek Corridor. Tucalota Creek is being proposed as the major trails network of the community that provides access to the Village Center, the parks and the schools; therefore, it should be an amenity that is enjoyed by the whole community. An "eyes on" concept where the creek is visible from the community would be appropriate. The number, size, locations, timing and maintenance responsibility of the Public Parks. The applicant is proposing a number of public Neighborhood Parks which are smaller than three (3) acres. The Temecula Community Services District (TCSD) will not accept these parks for maintenance since the Parks Master Plan has set a minimum requirement of three (3) acres for publicly maintained parks. These parks will be used exclusively by the Johnson Ranch residents there is little nexus to assess the residents of the whole City for the use of these parks. The project can have parks that are smaller than three (3) acres; however, they should be maintained by a Home Owners association (HOA). The locations and timing of the proposed City Parks are not clearly defined within the specific Plan. Moreover, the applicant is requesting the City to maintain the Santa Gertrudis Creek and the Tucalota Creek open space areas. The TCSD has indicated that it is their policy not to accept open space areas for maintenance. The inconsistency of the proposed cross sections for all thoroughfares within the Specific Plan with the General Plan Circulation Bement, Ordinance 460 and 461. The purpose of adopting standards is to create consistency of road cross sections within the City. The adopted cross sections correspond to specifications (i.e. radii, grade, design speed) adopted by the City in conformance with generally accepted engineering standards. Therefore, the applicant needs to propose cross sections consistent with the General Plan. Staff will work with the applicant on alternative parkway designs for these roads. The infrastructure improvement requirements and associated phasing and financing. The financing of these improvements and their phasing needs to be specified by the applicant. The final Traffic Study will assist staff to determine the ultimate improvements necessary to serve this project. Subsequent Traffic Studies will be used to determine the phasing of the improvements as the project builds out. In light of recent concerns regarding assessment districts in this area and because the General Plan specifically discourages using assessment districts that promote urban sprawl and premature urbanization. Therefore, the applicant needs to be more specific in regards to the financing of the infrastructure. The credits requested toward the Public Facility/Development Agreement fees for the improvement of required off site and on site roads and park facilities. The proposed Draft Development Agreement is requesting credits for all the public parks and the Santa Gertrudis Creek Open Space area. Moreover, credits are being requested for construction of Murrieta Hot Springs Road (off site), Butterfield Stage Road (off and on site), Street "A" and Borel Road to Lake Skinner. Since the Draft Development Agreement does not specify a Development Agreement fee, staff is not in a position to discuss specific credits toward that fee. However, it is staff's potion that infrastructure improvements within a development should be entirely the responsibility of the developer and those improvements necessary to provide primary and secondary off-site access are also the responsibility of the developer pursuant to Section 3.1 of Ordinance 460.

General Plan Goals and Policies and the Community Design Plan - Blue Page 4 ATTACHMENT NO. 1 GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES AND THE COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN 4 CITY OF TEME~ Co~ Design Element :::-III. ::COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN A. Citywide Community Design Concepts Future development should promote the proper relationship between the residential and business aress of the COmmt3nity, while reco~izing the importance of the Ci~y's physical se~ting, open space opportunities and natural futures. An urban design strategy for Temecula must help to define these relationships by identi~ing the appropriate l{-l~-~es or connections between existing activities, dislxibution end rainfie of future land uses, and the Circulation of pedestrians and automobile tr~f'sc. The determination of the urban form must address the special character of the activity aress of the City including the role of the commercial centers. In this instuner, the elements of the General Plan will give definition to the urban form for Temecuia that is functional, conveys a "sense of place.," and is aesthetically pleasing end sensitive to the natural environmental character of the area, Therefore, the primary city-wide community design concepts include the effective utilization of the open space corxidors of the City to provide connections between the living and working areas of the City, th~ location of distinctive urban villages throughout the City, and the preservation of the natural and historical resources of the community.

Open Space/Recrealion (Floor Area Ratio of .01 to j) The Open Space~Recreation designation includes both public and private areas of permanent open space including local/or such uses us: parin, golf coumes and floodways along Murriota, Tome~la and Pochanga creoles. recreation facilities, natural open space, recreation traits, greenbelts, lakes, atilay easements, active fault zones, and undevelopable portions of floodplains along waterways. This designation is intended to include lands acquired by e,':: c:ien, casement, fee and other methods sanctioned by state and federal law for parkland, for preservation of biological and cultural resources, and for protecting public safety from flood, seismic and other hazards. Only accessory building or those structures related to parin and recreation facilities are intended for open space lands. under the City'z jur~iotion. This designation may also accommodate certain commercial outdoor recreation uses as a conditional use in accordance with the Development Code. h. Public and Tnqimlional Facilities (Floor Area Ratio of .4 to .7) The public and institutional facilities designation ia64siies is intended for a wide range of public and private uses including schools, transportation facilities, government offices, public utilities, libraries, museums, public art galleries, hospitals, and cultural facilities. To the extent possible, public and institutional facilities should be clustered in activity centers to reinforce other uses and benefit from access to alternative modes of transportation. The public/institutional uses designated on the Land Use Plan am either existing facilities or planned uses based on the best available information. Additional public and institutional uses, including churches and daycare facilities, may be developed in the residential or non-residential land use designations under the procedures established in the Development Code. B. Village Center Overlay - Conceptual Boundaries A primary concept of the C-eneml Plan is to promote the development of special Village Centers, with an urban character, at key locations in the City. These centers will help to provide a sense of place and focal points for community activity. The location of the Village Centers are shown on a separate map which is an overlay to the Land Use Plan (Figur~ 2-4). The overlay defines the conceptua! boundaries of future Village Centera. This map is not intended to preclude the creation of other Village Centers within the Study Area, should they be deemed appropriate by the City. The Village Centers are intended to contain a ccncentxation and mixture of compatible uses including retail, office,, public facilities, recreation uses and housing, designed to encourage non-automotive modes of tnnsportation. In addition, each Village Center should have design guidelines and d~velopment standards to ensure a cohesivehess in development. Several Village Centers are designated within proposed specific plans Draft Dau:: Dcccm~:r 6, 1993 Pag~ Z-34 CITY OF TEIVIECULA Land Use Element that will ensure the properties are planned and developed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. Development densities and intensities for the Village Center Areas are intended to be consistent with those permitted in the underlying designations on the Land Use Plan (not including any density or intensity bonuses granted in accordance with the provisions of the General Plan and Development Code). C. Specific Plan Area Overlay The Specific Plan Area designation is intended for those portions of the community which because of size, location, and special development opportunities require a coordinated, comprehensive planning approach. The-~e areas include Specific Plans that were previously approved through the County jurisdiction. The location of th,' Specific Plan designation is shown on a separate map that is an overlay to the Land Use Plan (Figtim 2-5). Specific plans shall be prepared in accotxianee with the requirements of Section 65451 of the California Government Code and the City's Development Code which contains some additional requirements tailored to the City's needs and conditions. The purpose of specific plans is m pwvide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent with the General Plan. Specific plans will result in mutually beneficial and creative planning solutions for both property owners and the City. Designated specific plan m will require detailed plan~ indicating land uses, circulation, major infrastructure and facilities, open space and parks, and appropriate implementation measures. All specific plans will be evaluated with respect to consistency with the goals, policies, plans and programs of the General Plan. 1. Approved Specific Plan Areas A total of eleven (11) specific plans have been approved within the General Plan Study Area as of March, 1992. These are shown in Table 2-1. The specific plan documents are available for reference at the City Planning Department. The approved land uses for each of the approved specific plan a~as are shown on the General Plan Land Use Plan. 2. Future Specific Plan Ar~s The Land Use Plan provides a guideline for future Specific Plan Areas in teams of the land use and circulation pattern. The Land Use Plan defines the maximum density and intensity of development, based on the desired mix of uses within the Specific Plan Area. It is expected that future proposals for these Specific Plan Axeas include a land use plan that is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The Development Code contains requirements for the content and processing procedure of specific plans. Table 2-9 provides additional direction concerning the proposed Specific Plan Aleas.

Goal 2 Discussion Enhanced mobility to mlnlwni~e air po]Jutant eml, vaions. Automobile use is the single 8rcatcst contributor to air pollution in California. Most of the air quality problem stems from our dependence on the automobile. The most effective strategy for improving air quality involves making fewer automobile trips and when such trips arc necessary, matting them shorter. The pwvision and availability of alternative modns of transportation arc essential to the SuCCeSS Of this strat,*~y.

GOALS AND POLICIES One of the most pressing commtmjty design issues is the need to develop design policies and standards for nse by the development commtmity and City officials. There is gnncral agreement that site planning, architecture and landscape architectroe should be of high quality for both future development and modifications to existing development. The COmmtKlity ~ign Czoals and Policies provide a framework to achieve quality and compatibility in the physical design of the City. The design policies encourage: a public/private dialogue whereby creative and innovative design sohtinm may be realized. Detailed design guidelines for both residential and non-residemial uses will also nccd to be formulated. Many residents are concerned about the height and bulk of recently constructed commercial/office su'ucmres in the City. Larger commercial projects need to consider the rciatlonship of the buildings to the pedestrian and surrounding enviKmmellL Standards need to be cardully developed for the Development Code to achieve a scale of development that is in balance with the surruuncling area. The development of a unified sueetscape along major arterials is addressed in the COrntotality Design Element Slree~,.apes m important imagn-bullding components that offer immediate and lasting imlztcssinns of the community. Streetscapes ar~ also important in encouraging pedestrian aaivity and in defining neighborhoods or districts. The City may consider implementing a streetscape program of median and parkway landscaping, street lighting, griphies, etc. to provide orientation to visitors and to unify the City. The goals and policies of the Community Design ~ement serve as the basis for the formulation of specific development code regulations as well as the development of design guidelines for residential and non-residential uses. Goal 1 ~nhancelnent of the CAty's iliaage related to its regional and natural setting and its tourist orientation. Discussion It is important that land use and developmere decisions capitalize on, and maintain, the natural assets of a given location. The preservation of the mmnining hillsides and ridge lines of the City and of the surrounding area is important to many residents and results in a more enjoyable and satisfying urban cnviwnment. The ~ransition between the urhanizcd areas and rural areas is particularly important in creating a cohesive image of the Corntotality. There is a need for hillside development standards that encourage innovative site and building design to e. nh=nce the visual quality of development, and preserve significant natural features or special habitat areas. The City also has the opportunity to aeate a positive urban design element with enhancement and linkage between its parks, water fanms and other open space lauds.

The community character of the project is built upon a series of three adjoining villages, each directly connected to the Town Center, the heart of Johnson Ranch. The central feature of each village is the neighborhood school/park from which residential areas radiate. The Johnson Ranch Village Center, a 73 acre multiple use complex, offering commercial, residential, civic and recreational uses is centrally located to the project, and linked to the project via walkways, promenades, and streets. Open space is prominently featured in Johnson Ranch. The project design respects the biological importance of Santa Gertrudes Creek which is preserved. Development is setback from this resource. 75 acres of active recreation is provided through a hierarchy of parks; the community park, at the heart of Johnson Ranch within the Town Center; through village parks, which are adjacent to schools and offer recreation for each village; and a series of small innovatively designed Neighborhood Parks interspersed throughout the community. All are easily accessible by a series of walkways. A central open space spine, Tucalota Creek, is proposed as an open space/recreation corridor which connects the majority of the project to the Town Center. Land Use Planning for Johnson Ranch incorporates transition areas to provide for compatibility within its neighboring properties. The idea of "tike next to like" has resulted in a band of low density along the north, east and south property lines. 5,250 dwelling units, or about three dwelling units per gross acre, are proposed for Johnson Ranch. These residences are largely envisioned as single family detached in a variety of residential product types, all designed in accordance to specifications shown within the Specific Plan Design Criteria. Johnson Ranch promotes the improvements of important regional roadways. These include the extensions of Murietta Hot Springs Road, Butterfield Stage Road, Borel Road, and participation in area-wide improvements to the regional system. All roadways within the Ranch will be designed in accordance with the landscape criteria contained within the Specific Plan, providing a pleasant, consistent appearance. Johnson Ranch, Temecula's newest community, has incorporated many design features that will assure its lasting value - all provided for the family market. The incremental development of Johnson Ranch will be phased carefully over a period of year. 3 I V 8 ]0 I c~ I 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 ! ooooo 12 I I -~ I ~ I ~ I ! I I ! I I I I I I I I I J 15 16 I
