PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
APRIL 25, 1994
Robert Hummel, 32655 Bootlegg Road, Winchester, said he is concerned about the
proposed densities, proximity of the project to the airport, infrastructure and
buffering of five acre parcels.
Gerald Onstoff, 39559 Avenida Arizona, Temecula, said the project offers no
provisions for equestrian trails and no access to Santa Gertrudis Creek.
David Robinson, 39600 Avenida Arizona, Temecula, said he is concerned about the
proposed densities and circulation.
Robert Bush, 32775 Bootleg Road, Temecula, said he is concerned about the
proposed densities, buffering of five (5) acre parcels, improvements to
infrastructure, location of the proposed project and the subsidence zone.
Ken Barnes, 39695 Berenda Road, expressed concern about the impacts the project
may have on the Santa Gertrudis Creek and the wineries.
Cindy Bush, 32775 Bootlegg Road, Temecula, asked what will happen to the wine
country agreement if this project is developed. She said she is concerned about the
lack of schools, impacts the project could have on wildlife and traffic. She said she
is concerned about disturbing the Indian artifacts which have been found on the
property.
Jim Fergus suggested the comments made by the public be reviewed by the
developer with staff and the comments brought back to the Commission at a later
date.
Commissioner Fahey said although she feels what is being proposed is a good plan,
however she cannot envision the proposed plan fitting into the area at this time.
She said she feels the project is premature and she cannot forecast 10 or 20 years
from now. Commissioner Fahey said she.does not feel there is adequate buffering
in areas 2C and 4, and areas 5, 16 and 17 should be larger and more buffering
around area 14.
Commissioner Hoagland said he agrees with Commissioner Fahey's comments and
the concerns addressed by the Planner.
Commissioner Blair said she finds it difficult to envision the proposed project at this
time. She said her concerns deal more with the overall issues of the project as
follows: a better way of maintaining the natural configuration of the land (i.e. less
densities and greater buffering); addressing of the air traffic in the area; providing
for equestrian trails; and, consideration for the geological subsidence in the area.
Commissioner Salyer said he feels there are a lot of serious issues involving the
proposed project as follows: densities; lack of buffering with the surrounding
environment; protecting of natural resources. Commissioner Salyer said he would

like to hear a response to every concern expressed by the public from staff and the
applicant. Commissioner Salyer said he supports spreading out the multi-family
dwellings and small parks being maintained by the Homeowner's Association.

agreement; Indian artifacts; equestrian trails; infrastructure requirements both on-
site and off-site. Chairman Ford said he agrees with the remarks made by
Commissioner Fahey regarding area 2C and 4.

BACKGROUND
On December 12, 1987, the Riverside County Planning Director Approved Plot Plan No.
10239. The approval permitted automobile sales and service, and the associated structures
for the use.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project will expand the size of the approved automobile sales and service use.
The project will add additional showroom, office and storage area, and 18 additional service
bays.
ANALYSIS
The purpose of the expansion is to accommodate the relocation of the Honda dealership to the
subject site. The primary issue for the project is parking. The project will provide a sufficient
number of additional parking spaces, both on-site (see Lot A on Exhibit A) and off-site (see Lot
C on Exhibit B) for the expanded use. The project has been conditioned to provide a reciprocal
parking and access agreement to insure that the off-site parking is reserved for the applicant's
proposed use.
A second issue is landscaping. The project has been conditioned to enhance the existing
landscaping along Ynez Road. Also, the project will replace and/or relocate interior
landscaping that is damaged or removed as a result of construction activities.
A final issue is architectural compatibility. To insure architectural compatibility, the project
has been conditioned to require the new construqtion to match the existing structures for both
materials and colors..
ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project site is zoned C-P (General Commercial) and the adjacent parcels are also zoned
General Commercial. The proposed expansion of the dealership is consistent with the
requirements of the C-P Zone and Sections 18.30 and 18.43 of Ordinance 348 which requires
that the proposed use not pose a threat to public health, safety and general welfare of the
community.
The General Plan Land Use Designation is Service Commercial. The proposed expansion of
the existing use is consistent with the Service Commercial designation due to the fact that the
changes will not significantly alter the current use.
R:\STAFFRPT~28PA94.pC 5/18/94 klb 2
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff has determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per
Section 15301 (e)(2).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project is consistent with Section 9.1 (General Commercial Zone) of Ordinance No. 348.
The use is also consistent with Sections 18.30 and 18.43 of Ordinance No. 348. Sections
18.30 and 18.43 require that the proposed use not pose a threat to public health, safety and
general welfare of the community, to conform to the logical development of the land and to
be compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property.
It is staff's opinion that the expansion is consistent with these requirements.
FINDINGS
PA94-0028, Revised Plot Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan due to the fact
that the automobile dealership use is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
designation of Service Commercial.
The proposed project is consistent with Ordinance No. 348 since it meets all the
requirements of Ordinance No. 348.
The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or
general welfare of the community due to the fact that the project meets the criteria
prescribed under Ordinance No. 348, Sections 9.1, 18.30 and 18.43.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, because the use
does not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area
and the use is similar to the surrounding automobile dealerships.
The proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment since the
project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per Section
15301 (e)(2)..

Ladies and. Gentlemen:
Plot Plan 10239
Fast Tract
Plot Plan 10239 is a proposal to build an automobile retail sales
and service center in the Temecula Valley area on the west side
of Ynez Road and about 250 feet south of Solana Way.
About 450 cfs of storm runoff approaches the site from the east.
Existing storm drains have capacity for about half of the flow.
The remainder overtops Ynez Road and traverses the property.
The applicant's drainage exhibit proposes to build another pipe
to collect the stormwater on the east side of Ynez Road and con-
vey it to a freeway culvert. An existing catch basin on Ynez
Road in front of the project would be removed.
The Board of Supervisors has adopted the Murrieta Creek/Temecula
Valley Area Drainage Plan for the purpose of collecting drainage
fees. Those fees are used to construct needed flood control
facilities within the particular area. The Area Drainage Plan
fees apply to new land divisions and are normally not required of
other types of new development';
Virtually all new development causes increased storm runoff.
These increases are particularly troublesome in those watersheds
where an Area Drainage Plan has been adopted. In order to miti-
gate the downstream impacts brought about by increased runoff,
the District recommends that Conditional Use Cases, Plot Plans
and Public Use Cases be required to pay a flood mitigation
charge. Mitigation charges, where appropriate, will be similar
to the current Area Drainage Plan fee rate.
Following are the District's recommendations:
l~s ~l~a m~tiaation charge shall be paid. The charge
hall equal the prevailing Area Drainage Plan fee rate
multiplied by the area of new development. The new
development in this case includes a total of 2.59 acres.

charge equal $ ~1 charge is payable Go the Flood

Re: Plot Plan 10239
Fast Tract
- 2 - December 17, 1987
The difference between the 100 year storm flow and the
capacity of the existing storm drain system should be
collected into a pipe on the east side of Ynez Road. The
flows should be conveyed to an adequate outlet. Adequate
inlet facilities should be provided to ensure that storm
flows will not overtop Ynez Road.
Onsite drainage facilities located outside of road right
of way should be contained within drainage easements.
The documents should be recorded and a copy submitted to
the District prior to issuance of permits.
Offsite drainage facilities should be located within
publicly dedicated drainage easements obtained from the
affected property owner(s). The document(s) should be
recorded and a copy submitted to the District prior to
issuance of permits.
A copy of the improvement plans and grading plans along
with supporting hydrologic and hydraulic calculations
should be submitted to the District for review and ap-
proval prior to the issuance of grading or building per-
mits. A registered engineer must sign, seal and note his
expiration date on plans and calculations submitted.

This case is viihim 30 miles of the Palomar Observatox7 and is therefore
within the zone requiring the use of low-pressure sodium vapor lamns for
street lighting, as stipulated by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors.
We request that the design for other types of outdoor lighting that may be
employed on this property be made consistent with the spirit of the decision
of the Board of Supervisors which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects
such facilities have on Zhe astronomical research at Palomar. Beneficial
steps to that end include:
1. Use the minimum amount of light needed for the task.
2. Orient and shield light to prevent direct upward illumination.
Turn off lights at 11:00 p.m. (or earlier) unless, in commercial
applications, the associated business is open past that time, in which
case the lights should be turned off at closing.
Use low-pressure sodium lamps for roadways, walkways, equipment yards,
parking lots, security and other similar applications. These lights
need not be turned off at 11:00 p.m.

Prepared By: John R. Meyer
RECOMMENDATION:

recommending adoption of an
"A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE
CITY OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL AMEND PORTIONS OF ORDINANCE NO. 348, 92-16,
93-12 AND 94-05 PERTAINING TO THE REGULATION OF
TEMPORARY SIGNS.'
APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICANT:
City of Temecula
PROPOSAL:
An Ordinance Amending the Standards for Temporary Signs.
LOCATION: Citywide
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Staff Report is to forward proposed amendments to the Ordinance
Regulating Temporary Signs to the Planning Commission and City Council for their
consideration.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved the Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs and associated Fee
Resolution on October 27, 1992. The commission last considered the modifications to the
subject ordinance at its March 1, 1993 meeting. Subsequent to that, the Council approved
the modifications on May 23, 1993. After a series of information letters and public outreach,
enforcement of the ordinance began in October '93. At its November 23, 1993 meeting the
Council heard complaints about the compliance program. On December 14, 1993 the City
Council instructed Staff to do the following:
Stop enforcement, except for temporary signs located in the public right-of-way and
on vehicles;
Work with two members of the local business community to recommend modifications
to the allowable time periods for temporary signs and make a recommendation to the
City Planning Commission; and,
3. Return any recommended ordinance amendments to the City Council.
DISCUSSION
On January 27, 1994, the City sent letters to Bruce Sparks (Whipper Snapper Furniture) and
Debbie Kerns (Gently Used Furniture) requesting their recommendations on modifications to
the subject ordinance. They were requested to meet with other local business owners in
preparing the modifications. Local business owners met on April 5, to discuss changes to the
ordinance. On April 14, 1994 staff met Mr. Sparks to receive their proposed changes.
Attachment I shows the changes proposed by the local business owners representatives. In
general, the recommendation proposes:
Larger signs
More signs
Longer time periods for displaying signs
Less "down" time between signs.
Limitations on height and width of detached signs
The business owners also recommended changes beyond the scope of Council direction, they
include:
Enforcement Policy, leave illegal sign alone unless responding to a specific
complaint.
No Permit required for Temporary Signs displayed for under 30 days.
No regulation of Window Signs
One A-frame sign per business, located on private property with property owner
approval.
ANALYSIS
Staff recognizes the need for local businesses to have the opportunity to advertise special
events and sales during the year. Staff is still concerned about the increased visual blight and
clutter that may result in the community as a result of the proposed changes. It is staff's
opinion that the proposed changes may not be in the best interest of the community.
Initially, staff believed the existing ordinance, with its over-the-counter permit process with
reasonable time frames and standards, would be easily complied with the business
community. The feedback that staff has received from many local business owners is that
they are the willing to comply with local ordinances so long as the regulations are applied
equally, In fact, however, compliance and enforcement of the existing regulations has not
been a smooth process.
Many people who have addressed the Council cited the need for temporary signs is increased
because of the poor economic times. Staff sees underlying land uses implications and lack
of sufficient resources as reasons for problems associated with the ordinance.
In light of the concerns expressed by the Council to work with the local business owners, staff
has stepped back away from the existing ordinance and re-evaluated what is the purpose of
temporary signs. During its initial meetings, the Temporary Sign Committee concluded:
· That temporary signs are often needed during the initial start-up period for new
businesses until the permanent signage is available.
· That temporary signs are often needed during special .sales or promotional activities.
· The permit process for temporary signs should be an easy, over-the-counter process.
· That temporary signs can provide for unfair competition.
· That all businesses need to be regulated equally.
That temporary signs are not an alternative to a "cheap" low visibility site or poor
marketing.
That excessive signage creates the image of a low quality community and could result
in visual blight and clutter.
· That temporary signs can obstruct the view of other businesses and their signs.
· That special standards are needed for Old Town Temecula.
To this end staff is proposing a major overhaul of the ordinance as it applies outside of Old
Town. Staff's intent is to adjust the ordinance to more realistically match resources available
to enforce it, while continuing to meet the above purposes. The ordinance revisions will result
in certain compromises by both the Community and the local business owners. Attachment
2 shows the changes proposed by the Staff. In general, the recommendation proposes:
No distinction on the types of temporary signs (Promotional, Grand Opening,
Interim or Special Events).
One uniform banner per business.
Sign area as follows:
Businesses under 5,000 sq. ft.: 20 sq. ft.
Businesses 5,001 to 20,000 sq. ft.: 32 sq. ft.
Businesses Over 20,000 si3. ft.: 50 sq. ft.
Banners must be attached to the building's tenant space, no higher than the top
of the eave or parapet wall.
NO time limit.
No permit, no fee.
No regulation of Window Signs.
Maintain current list of prohibited signs (including A-frames).
Maintain regulations for Temporary Special Event Signs
The merits of these standards are as follows:
Local business owners will be able to advertise grand openings, promotional
event and similar items.
Eliminates permit process and fee.
Establishes "level" playing field.
Provides for easy compliance and enforcement by eliminating time periods for
displaying signs and time period between sign events.
3
A trade off between A frames and window signs (windows signs do not have
the inherent visibility/safety concerns that A-frames have).
Although this will result in some businesses using temporary signs for
permanent identification and/or display temporary signs year round, the uniform
size of the signs will decrease visual clutter.
Maintaining regulations for Temporary Special Event Signs allows for
advertisement of community activities.
CONCLUSION
The proposed amendments to the Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs would amend
portions of Sections 19.9 of Article XIX, Ordinance 348 as recommended by the local
business owners representatives or by staff. The Commission may consider recommending
either proposed modifications, or recommending to the Council to leave the existing ordinance
in place.
Regardless of which recommendation the Commission chooses, it may wish to further
recommend to the Council that the Ordinance be actively enforced until a new City Sign
Ordinance is developed. This task is in the Planning Department's 1994-95 FY Workprogram
and should be completed within an 8-12 month time period. During this time period tha
compliance with, and results of the Ordinance regulating Temporary Signs can be monitored.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Staff has reviewed the General Plan and compared it with the proposed amendments to the
Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs. During the review, staff was unable to identify any
policies or programs which would prohibit the proposed ordinance amendments. As a result,
staff finds the proposed amendments to be inconsistent with the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This Ordinance amendment will expand the use of temporary signs for limited periods in
existing commercial and service districts. As a result, the proposed Ordinance Regulating
Temporary Signs does not have the potential to cause significant impacts on the environment
and the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3).
FINDINGS
There is a need to improve the competitiveness of service and commercial businesses
and maintain the aesthetic quality of all areas in the City.
The overuse of temporary signs results in visual clutter, the deterioration of the City's
commercial and service districts, and the inefficient use of business advertising
resources.
The proposed amendments to the Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs will provide
for effective identification.
The proposed amendmentsto the Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs are consistent
with the General Plan.
5. The proposed amendments to the Ordinance Regulating Temporary Signs are consistent
with the Old Town Specific Plan.

BACKGROUND
Specific Plan 263 and Change of Zone 5589 were presented before the Planning Commission
on March 21,1994. At that meeting, the Planning Commission raised a number of concerns.
Commissioner Fahey discussed the need for the Village Center to be connected to other areas
and suggested a pedestrian and bike over crossing over Margarita Road. Commissioner
Hoagland requested that a maximum density be established for Planning Area 1. In addition,
the Commission requested more detail be provided on development of a Village Center in
Planning Area 1.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project proposal is a Specific Plan with an accompanying Change of Zone request on
201.3 acres. The project site is located along the south side of Winchester Road between
Ynez and Margarita Roads. The City's General Plan designates the site as Specific Plan and
Village Center overlay areas. The underlying land use designations of the General Plan consist
of Community Commercial, Professional Office, Business Park and Public Institutional. The
Specific Plan document contains the zoning, development standards and architectural
R:~STAFFII~l~283SP,PC2 5/19/94 vgw 2
guidelines for the project site. The proposed zoning and development standards contained
within the Specific Plan document will govern development for this site over the City's
Development Code unless it is not addressed in the Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
Subsequent to the March 21, 1994 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant submitted
revised language for the Village Center. While the language is an improvement over the
current Regional Center Specific Plan language relative to the Village Center, staff feels that
the new language needs to be stronger. Staff recommends that the applicant use the
language in the City's General Plan Community Design Element relative to the Village Center
concept as a base and build upon this base by refining the language in the Regional Center
Specific Plan to include standards and design guidelines (including illustrative exhibits) which
would allow the development of a Village Center. These design guidelines could incorporate
language which would require provision of a public transportation facility.
The applicant has not proposed a Margarita Road over crossing. Additionally, the applicant
has not proposed new language for the Specific Plan which would establish maximum
densities in Planning Area 1.
Circulation and DrainaQe
The current Circulation Plan shows the boundary roadways for the site with major and minor
access points into the project area. The internal traffic circulation will be designed during
project development approval or with the processing of a Design Manual for an area which
includes site plans. Staff is requesting a circulation system be developed with roadways that
meet the City's public street standards if public streets are not provided. The roadway system
should include landscaped parkways and sidewalks. All access points for Winchester Road
must be approved by the City Engineer and Caltrans. Currently, the major entry points along
Winchester Road are consistent with a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and
Caltrans. However, the minor entry points are not consistent with the Memorandum of
Understanding. Pursuant to City Council direction, staff is currently working with the
development community and Caltrana on a re-evaluation of the Memorandum of Understanding
which may include these restricted access points.
The Department of Public Works request that the Planning Commission discuss the following
traffic issues and direct staff:
· Regional Center onsite circulation.
The traffic improvements listed below, required as part of development of the Urban
Core Projects are included in Assessment District (AD) 161 and Community Facilities
District (CFD) 88-12. The Department of Public Works recommends that the projects
be conditioned for the improvements to be in place at certain development phases
based on the required ensuing traffic study amendments. Although these projects
were identified in the engineer's report for these districts, the bonds have not yet been
sold and future funding by the Districts is in no way assured at this time. Therefore,
staff will be evaluating directly conditioning these specific plans for the construction
of certain of these facilities based on an analysis of the percent impacts provided in the
traffic analysis.

particular signal is a required area Wide Signal.
Landscane Develooment Zone
Enhanced landscaping setbacks are proposed along the following major roadways: Winchester
Road, Margarita Road, Ynez Road, and Apricot Avenue. The width of the Landscape
Development Zone (LDZ) is 32 feet for Margarita Road, Ynez Road, and Apricot Avenue and
37 feet for Winchester Road. The applicant is continuing to request the LDZ along Winchester
Road be decreased to 30 feet at some future date if the City determines that a transit system
will not be developed along Winchester Road. Staff's opinion is that it is appropriate to
maintain the 37 feet to enhance the gateway effect of Winchester Road.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Environmental Impact Report No. 340 was prepared for the project and certified by the City
Council on July 13, 1993. Statements of Overriding Consideration were adopted at that time
for the following: Noise, Air Quality, Agriculture, Wildlife end Vegetation, Circulation, and
Libraries.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
At the March 21, 1994 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission expressed concerns
regarding density, an over crossing to serve as a pedestrian linkage, and the level of detail
provided by the applicant relative to the Village Center concept. The applicant has provided
new language regarding the Village Center concept, however, staff feels additional work needs
to be done to further define this concept as it relates to the Temecula Regional Center.

TEMECULA REGIONAL CENTER
Planning Area 1
(THE FOLLOWING TEE IS PROPOSED TO REPLACE THE EXISTING TEXT ON PAGE
ItI-31 IN THE TEMECULA REGIONAL CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN)
1. Planning Area 1
a. Descriptive Summary
Planning Area 1, as depicted in Figure 12A, consists of 71.97 gross acres, devoted primarily to
mixed uses including retail, office, hotel, institutional and residentiai uses. The commercial, office
and institutional development within this planning area will serve the needs of area residents,
while maintaining compatibility with a residential environment. It is the intention of the mixed
use development in Temecula Regional Center to' allow for a mixture of
commercial/office/institutionai and residential uses. Consideration shall be given to joint use of
parking, common areas, landscaping, ~pecific types of uses, housing types and sizes of unitsi and
overall architectural design.
The retail and office uses in Planning Area 1 could be arranged in a "U"-shaped configuration
around a public green similar to traditional public greens, or in a linear fashion to form a "Main
Street" with shops and offices oriented directly onto the street. There may be one or more
shopping streets created within the planning area depending upon market conditions at the time
the area is developed. These shopping streets should converge on a focal point within the
Temecula Regional Center development.
In order for the concept of a "Main Street" to truly function, development of a certain density
and intensity is necessary. Residential uses will be limited to single family attached, multi-family
residential, and residential units over office or commercial uses. Planning Area 1 development
is proposed as a logical extension of the central commercial core activity in Planning Area 2, and
a transition between Planning Area 2 and the adjacent residential property to the east.
Institutional uses to be encouraged within Planning Area 1 include local, state or federal level
services (i.e., postal service, economic development, social service, library, museum, etc.), if there
is a need or demand for such uses.
The mixed use development in Planning Area 1 is designed to encourage active street frontages
and create a comfortable, human-scaled environment that creates a fully functioning Main Street
complex. The small size of this area will encourage pedestrian movement between uses, while
de-emphasizing automobile use. Limited on-street parking may be provided. Buildings may be
situated directly on local streets with little or no front and side yard setbacks. Retail and service
commercial uses could predominate on the first floor of the buildings, with offices and/or
residential uses concentrated on the upper floors or behind the commercial uses.
Development within Planning Area 1 may consist of residential uses in the same building(s) as
commercial/office uses. Institutional and hotel uses may be integrated physically into mixed use
structures or constructed as separate buildings. Residential uses and entries should constitute not
more than 30% of the ground floor of any of these buildings. In areas which do not directly face
onto the shopping street(s), freestanding residential buildings may be constructed.
Separate building entrances shall be required for commemial/office/institutional and residential
uses when occupying the same structure; provided that this provision does not preclude internal
connections between residential and non-residential uses. In addition, completely separate
parking areas should be provided for residences and hotels. Joint-use parking should be
considered for commercial, office and institutional uses.
Storefront windows are encouraged in retail shops and, in most cases, should begin within 18"
to 24" of the pavement. Typically, storefront windows help to entice customers into stores,
stimulate visual interest, Ereate "defensible space" by enhancing public views of store interiors
and streets, and establish a predictable rhythm for passers-by. The scale and width of each
storefront should be limited to establish an intimate scale that is more conducive to the pedestrian
and cyclist than to the automobile. In general, storefront widths should relate to a human scale.
Where storefronts must be large to accommodate specific uses, the building facades could be
articulated with windows, insets, pillars, colunms, arcades or other decorative architectural
features to maintain the overall intimacy of the shopping street.
Over time, the "Main Street" design ~or Planning Area 1 may or may not prove feasible.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to consider more conventional commercial and office uses
after a period of ten years for those portions of Planning Area 1 which have not developed within
that timeframe.

BACKGROUND
The Campos Verdes Specific Plan, Change of Zone, and Environmental Impact Report were
presented to the Planning Commission on March 21,1994. At that meeting, the Commission
expressed the following concerns: provision of an adequate buffer between the project and
the Meadowview development; closure of Sanderling and Starling so as to discourage traffic
entering and exiting the Roripaugh Hills development; and looking at alternative school sites
for the project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project proposes a Specific Plan with an accompanying Change of Zone request on 132.9
acres. The project site is located south of Winchester Road and east of Margarita Road. The
General Plan designates the area as a Specific Plan overlay area with a portion of the site
located within the Village Center overlay area. The underlying land use designations of the
General Plan consist of Community Commercial, Professional Office, High Density Residential,
Medium Density Residential, Low Medium Density, and Open Space/Recreation. The Specific
Plan document contains the zoning design standards for each area. The proposed zoning and
development standards contained within the Specific Plan document will govern development
for this site over the City's Development Code unless it is not addressed in the Specific Plan
Zoning Ordinance.
R:~STAFFI~°1~I~P.PC2 5119/94 vgw 2
The original Specific Plan proposed seven (7) Planning Areas within the project site consisting
of six (6) different land uses with the commercial uses being proposed along Margarita Road.
Subsequent to the March 21,1994 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted
a revised Specific Plan and associated Addendum Environmental Impact Report. The Specific
Plan now being proposed for the site is shown in Table 1.

Approximately 7.8 acres in Planning Area 2 shall be utilized for commercial/office uses
adjacent to North General Kearny Road. The remaining 5.9 acres shall include a landscaped
detention basin. No park credits will be given for the detention basin by the City.
The Low Density Residential will consist of single family detached homes and is located in
Planning Area 9 adjacent to the Meadowview development. The remaining single family
residential development will be located in Planning Areas 3, 5, 6o and 8. A total of 290 units
is proposed for these 4 Planning Areas. Planning Area 4 will consist of 12 acres of
commercial property along Margarita and Winchester Roads. The detention basin will consist
of 5.9 acres located in Planning Area 2. The developer will receive no credit for the detention
basin. The remaining 7.8 acres in Planning Area 2 will be developed as commercial\office
uses. Planning Area 1 will consist of a 10.8 acre park which will contain softball%soccer fields,
tot lots, picnic areas, and on-site parking. The City will accept 7.5 acres toward Quimby
requirements, with the remaining 3.3 acres being used for drainage\detention. This 3.3 acres
R:%STAFFI~T%19P.PC2 5/19/94 vgw
will not count towards the City's park requirements. Planning Area 7 will consist of a 10.7
acre elementary school. If the School District chooses not to construct a school on this site,
a maximum of 64 single family detached units may be constructed on 4,500 minimum square
foot lots as an alternative.
ANALYSIS
Comparative Analysis of Orioinal Camoos Verdes and Revised CamDos Verdes Plans
The changes to the Campoe Verdes Specific Plan has been made as a result of homeowner,
staff, and Commission concerns. The revised plan proposes to completely eliminate all
multiple family. This has resulted in a reduction in dwelling units from 850 to 308, a 63.7%
reduction. In addition, the amount of acreage committed to residential uses has decreased
from 86 acres to 72.7 acres. The amount of commercial\office\church has increased from
18.1 acres to 19.8 acres. An additional 3.2 acres of this use was added to Planning Area 2
while 1.5 acres of commercial was removed from Planning Area 4 which resulted in a net
increase of 1.7 acres. The park which is proposed for Planning Area I has been reduced from
13.5 acres to 10.8 acres. A total of 7.5 acres will be applied toward City park requirements.
Lastly, a 10.7 acre elementary school site has been added to the revised project land use plan.
This school site falls within Planning Area 7. Table 2 provides a comparative land use
summary of the original and revised Specific Plan.

Landscape Develooment Zone
The project provides for enhanced landscaping setbacks along the following major roadways:
Winchester Road, Margarita Road, North General Kearny Road and Campoe Verdes Lane.
The applicant is continuing to request that the Landscape Development Zone along Winchester
Road be decreased to 30 feet at some future date if the City determines that a transit system
will not be developed along Winchester Road. However, it continues to be staff's opinion that
the 37 foot zone should be retained in order to enhance the gateway effect of Winchester
Road. Staff does not support having the landscape development zone along Winchester Road
being smaller than along Margarits and North General Kearny Roads.
Parks
Subsequent to the March 21,1994 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant met with the
Community Services Director to discuss issues relative to the size, phasing, construction, and
maintenance responsibilities of the park and detention basin. These issues have been resolved
and the Revised Campos Verdes Specific Plan document has been changed accordingly with
the exception of the following:
A statement needs to be included in the Specific Plan that states all park and\or recreation
areas intended for transfer to the City "in-fee" shall be dedicated free and clear of any liens,
assessments, or easements that would preclude the City from using the property for public
park and\or recreational purposes. A title insurance policy and a soils assessment report shall
also be provided with the dedication of the property. The TCSD is also requiring that the
Specific Plan included a general statement that all proposed TCSD maintenance areas and
public parks shall be offered for dedication on the final map.
The TCSD has provided the applicant the following changes to text in the revised Specific
Plan:
On page 111-31, fourth paragraph, last sentence. Sentence shall be amended to read as
follows: 2) allocate KCDC 75% park credit for the 3.5 acres of developed park land that
KCDC is providing in Campos Verdes in excess of TCSD re~luirements which shall be counted
toward the Quimby requirement (not the park and recreation requirements) of other projects
within the City that KCDC is developing.
On page 111-33 b. Open Space/Recreation and Landscaping Plan Development Standards, Item
1, last sentence. This sentence shall be amended to read as follows: Improvements to the
park shall be required to be completed by the issuance of the 78th residential building permit
for the overall project or within two (2) years of Map Recordation for the first phase lots,
whichever comes first.
R:~STAFFR°T%1SP.PC2 5119/94 vgw 5
In addition, under this same section, on page 111-34, add an item 13 which states the
following: landscape and construction plans for the open space\paseo and multi-purpose trail
in Planning Area 9 shall be approved by the Director of Community Services.
Circulation and Drsinaoe
The residents of Roripaugh Hills have raised concerns about the extension of Starling Street
and Sanderling Way into this project along with having High Density Residential development
adjacent to their development. As stated earlier, the developer is proposing an alternative to
reduce the residential density by providing a Single-Family Residential development instead of
the proposed Multi-Family Residential development in Planning Area 5 reducing the overall
residential units in the Specific Plan from 850 units to 579 units. The developer is willing to
design any proposed tract maps with a circulation system either providing for the extension
of Starling Street and Sanderling Way or leaving them as currently dead-ended. It should be
noted that the Roripaugh Hills Homeowner's Association has not provided staff with the
homeowner survey requested st the March 21, 1994 Planning Commission meeting.
The Department of Public Works requests that the Planning Commission discuss the following
traffic issues and provide direction to staff:
Campoe Verdes onsite circulation. i.e., the extension of Starling Street and Sanderling
Way through the Campos Verdes Specific Plan. The intent was always to have Starling
Street and Sterling Way ultimately extended. The extensions, in staff's opinion, are
necessary the following reasons:
Provision of a more expedient emergency response time to Roripaugh Hills
homes, as well as, improving local traffic movement.
Discouragement of an increase in the Average Daily Trips on Winchester Road
(a CMP thoroughfare).
Provision of better neighborhood circulation, primarily from east to west for
access to the commercial center, elementary school, and parks particularly from
the Roripaugh Hills Development.
Provision for an elementary school in Planning Area 6 and the construction of
a 10 acre park with active recreational facilities within Planning Area 1 which
could be accessed directly from Roripaugh Hills, without having to access
Winchester Road.
Retention of Sanderling Way and Starling Street to promote alternate
transportation modes consistent with the Village Center concept.
The traffic improvements listed below, required as part of development of the Urban
Core Projects are included in Assessment District (AD) 161 and Community Facilities
District (CFD) 88-12. The Department of Public Works recommends that the projects
be conditioned for the improvements to be in place at certain development phases
based on the required ensuing traffic study amendments. Although these projects
were identified in the engineer's report for these districts, the bonds have not yet been
sold and future funding by the Districts is in no way assured at this time. Therefore,
R:%STAFFI~T%1SP.PC2 5119/94 vgw 6
staff will be evaluating directly conditioning these specific plans for the construction
of certain of these facilities based on an analysis of the percent impacts provided in the
traffic analysis.

Transition/Buffer
Subsequent to the March 21,1994 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted
a revised Campos Verdes Specific Plan to include Figure IV-26A (page IV-65) which details
a minimum forty (40) foot buffer between the Project and the Meadowview development.
This minimum forty (40) foot buffer will be maintained by the TCSD. The buffer will be
bounded on both sides by a fence. The buffer will be planted with drought tolerant large scale
shrubs and evergreen grove trees. An eight (8) foot wide multi-purpose trail will meander
through this buffer area.

General Plan Consistency
As a result of the reduction in density associated with the revised Specific Plan, this project
is now inconsistent with the City's General Ran which designates a portion of this site as
Medium and High Density. However, the proposed changes, in staff's opinion, are beneficial
and in the best interest of the City. Therefore, staff recommends that the City shall initiate
a General Plan Amendment and make the finding that this higher density component can be
transferred to the Regional Center Village Center site.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
As a result of changes to the Campoe Verdes Specific Ran, an Addendum has been prepared
for Environmental Impact Report 348 which discusses the new levels of impacts associated
with the revised project. Following is · summary of the information contained in this
Addendum:
Seismic Safety The revised Specific Plan will generate fewer project residents (798 as
opposed to 2,201 ) thereby reducing the numbers of people being exposed to potential
seismic hazards. A portion of the Campoe Verdes site lies within a dam inundation
area and may be subject to seismically induced flooding from a failure of Skinner Dam.
This is an unavoidable adverse impact and will require a Statement of Overriding
Consideration.
Slopes and Erosion The revised Specific Plan proposes the same amount of grading
as the original project. Development of the revised project will result in a similar total
of approximately 2.6 million cubic yards of earth being moved as that of the original
project. No new impacts will be created and no new mitigation measures are
proposed.
Wind Erosion end Blowsand The revised Specific Plan is expected to involve a similar
amount of landform alteration as the original project. Little change in wind and
blowsand impacts is anticipated and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Flooding The revised Specific Plan will generate fewer project residents, thereby
decreasing the number of residents exposed to potential flooding impacts. No new
impacts will be created and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Noise The revised Specific Plan proposes a reduction in density which will reduce the
number of vehicle trips associated with the project. This reduction in vehicle trips will
reduce both on- and off-site noise impacts. No new impacts will be created and no
new mitigation measures are proposed.

Climate and Air Quality A total of 12,268 motor vehicle trips is associated with the
revised Specific Plan. This represents a 24.2% reduction in the amount of motor
vehicle emissions generated from the original project. The reduction of 542 dwelling
units from the original project also results in a 63.7% decrease in stationary source
emissions resulting from electricity and natural gas use. In spite of the reductions in
air quality impacts, pollutant generation associated with the Specific Plan exceeds
South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds with respect to carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and reactive organic gases. Air quality impacts remain
significant and will require a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Water Quality The amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system end
potentially into groundwater supplies will be reduced due to the reduction in dwelling
units and the generation of fewer project residents. No new impacts will be created
and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Toxic Substances The potential for near surface soil contamination due to residues
from pesticide use associated with prior agricultural use on-site remains unchanged
with the revised Specific Plan. The increase in the amount of on-site commercial uses
from 18.1 to 19.8 acres may result in an increased potential for the establishment of
small quantity toxic substance generators. However, no new impacts are anticipated
and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Aoriculture The impact to Prime Agricultural Land associated with the revised Specific
Plan does not change from that associated with the original project. The loss of Prime
Agricultural Land remains a significant impact and will require a Statement of
Overriding Considerations.
Open Soace end Conservation No changes in impacts will occur as a result of the
revised Specific Plan and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Wildlife~VeQetation The revised Specific Plan maintains the same amount of land being
disturbed as the original project. Therefore, the impacts associated with the revised
Specific Plan will be similar to those of the original project. The reduction of 542
dwelling units will result in a reduction ir~ indirect impacts (such as "harassment") of
project development upon adjacent floral and faunal resources. Cumulative wildlife
impacts remain a significant impact and will require a Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
EnerQy Resources The revised Specific Plan will result in a 41.4% reduction in natural
gas usage and a 39.4% reduction in electrical usage. No new impacts will be created
and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
Scenic Hiohwavs The reduction of 542 dwelling units and the elimination of higher
density residential uses will result in an incremental reduction in long-term project
related aesthetic and scenic highway impacts. No new impacts will be created and no
new mitigation measures are proposed.

Cultural and Scientific Resources The revised Specific Ran involves the same amount
of area being subject to landform alteration as the original project. As such, potential
impacts to cultural and scientific resources associated with the revised Specific Plan
will remain unchanged from those associated with the original project. No new impacts
will be created and no new mitigation measures are proposed.
15.
Circulation The revised Specific Plan generates a total of 12,268 vehicle trips per day
compared to 16,184vehicle trips per day associated with the original project. This is
a reduction of 24.2%. Trip distribution associated with the revised Specific Plan would
not vary significantly from the original project. The revised Specific Plan results in the
same levels of service associated with the original project. In spite of mitigation
measures, the level of impacts related to circulation and traffic will remain a significant
impact and will require a Statement of Overriding Consideration.
16,
Utilities and Services All affected public service and utility agencies experience a
reduction in project related impacts as a result of the revised Specific Plan as compared
to the original project. In spite of these decreases, a significant impact to library
services still exists and will require a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
17.
Light and Glare The reduction of 542 dwelling units and the elimination of illumination
associated with high density development will result in an incremental reduction in light
and glare impacts. No new impacts will be created and no new mitigation measures
are proposed.
18.
Disaster Praoaredness The revised Specific Plan will generate 798 persons as
compared to the original project which proposed 2,207 new residents. This decrease
in residents results in fewer people being exposed to potential seismic safety, slope and
erosion, flooding, and fire hazards. No new impacts will be created and no new
mitigation measures are proposed.
Otherissues
The Addendum which was submitted to staff requires some minor changes. The EIR
consultant has been sent stsff's comment~ relative to the Addendum. Upon completion of a
satisfactory Addendum, the EIR consultant will need to prepare a Revised Mitigation
Monitoring Program which will be adopted with the approval of the Specific Plan.
SUMMARY\CONCLUSIONS
The Campoe Verdes Specific Plan has been revised to address resident, staff, and Commission
concerns relative to the project. Concerns relative to buffering have been addressed through
the following: the elimination of all high density residential on the site and the
creation of a forty (40) foot buffer between the project and the Meadowview development.
This reduction in overall density has resulted in the need for an Addendum to the EIR which
has been prepared. Impacts associated with the revised Specific Plan are less or the same as
those associated with the original project.

RE: CHANGES TO CAMPOS VEIlDES SPECIfiC PLAN DOCUMENT
Dear Ms. Ubnoske:
I are providing you this letter to facilitate review of the latest draft version of the Carepos Verdes
Specific Plan (updated May 2, 1994) by City staff and the Planning Commission. Many changes
to the Land Use Plan and the Specific Plan document have occurred since the previous draft was
prepared in March 1993. A summary of the key changes follows:
I. LAND USE PLAN CHANGES
Figure III-1 on page III-3 has been revised to reflect the new Land Use Plan. This
exhibit was formerly in black & white and is now in full color.
Residential Densities. The land use categories in the Carepos Verdes Specific Plan
have been modified. Previously, the Specific Plan proposed medium low density
(3.0 du/ac), medium density (5.2 du/ac), and very high density (17.0 du/ac)
residential uses. These categories have been replaced by low density (0.5 - 2.0
du/ac) and low medium density (3.0 - 6.0 du/ac) residential uses.
Total Residences. The number of residences on-site has been reduced from 850 du
at an average residential density of 9.9 du/ac to 308 du at an average density of
4.2 du/ac (a reduction of 542 dwellings).
Meadowview Buffer. All lots which abut the Meadowview development shall have
a minimum permitted lot size of 20,000 square feet in response to input and
concerns expressed by Meadowview residents. Additionally, a minimum six foot
(6') high solid wall shall be erected on the property boundary between the
residential lots in Planning Area 9 and the adjacent forty foot (40') wide open
space/paseo buffer.
Open Space/Paseo Buffer. A forty foot (40') wide buffer will be created between
the on-site residential uses in Planning Area 9 and the adjoining off-site
Meadowview development. An eight foot (89 wide minimum multi-purpose nil

will meander through the entire length of.the paseo. The paseo area and multi-
purpose trail will be maintained by the Temecula Community Services District
(TCSD).
Commercial/Office Uses. The commercial/office uses in Planning Area 2, located
next to the comer of Margarita Road/North General Keamy Road, have been
increased from 4.6 acres to 7.8 acres. In addition, all or portions of the
commercial/office site may be developed with church/religious uses.
Commercial Center. The conunercial center at the intersection of Winchester
Road/Margarita Road (e.g., Planning Area 4) has been reduced in size from 13.5
acres to 12.0 acres. Primary access to the commercial center will still be provided
from Campos Verdes Lane, with right-in/right-out only access available from
Margarita Road.
Elementary School Site. A 10.7 acre (gross) elementary school site is proposed
adjacent to North General ICeamy Road (in Planning Area 7). The school site shall
be a minimum of 10.0 usable acres in size. The following text has been inserted
on page HI-57 of the Specific Plan: "If the project developer and the Temecula
Unified School District do not elect this option, then the total number of dwelling
units permitted in Planning Area 7 shall not exceed 64 single family homes with a
minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet."
Park Site. The park site in Planning Area 1 has been reduced in size from 13.5
acres to 10.8 acres. This reduction has been made because the number of dwellings
planned in Campos Verdes has been reduced from 850 du (March 1993) to 308 du
(May 1994). The developer is requesting to receive full park credits from the City
for 4.0 acres of parkland and 75% credit for the remaining 3.5 acres of parkland in
Planning Area 1. The remaining 3.3 acres in Planning Area 1 shall be used for
drainage and detention purposes. The developer shall not receive any park credits
for those portions of the park devoted primarily to drainage/detention uses.
CIRCULATION PLAN CHANGES
The locations of both Campos Verdes Lane and Camino Campos Verdes have
remained unchanged. However~ the entire network of interior streets within the
project site has been revised to accommodate the proposed changes in the Land Use
Plan.
The proposed extensions of Sandefiing Way and Starling Street into the Campos
Verdes project from the adjacent Rofipaugh Estates development have been deleted
from the proposed Circulation Plan at the request of Roripaugh Estates residents.
No vehicular connection is planned between Campos Verdes and Roripaugh Estates.

OPEN SPACFJRECREATION AND I,ul, I~IDSCtPING PL,,Uq CHANGES
Section III.A.6 of the Specific Plan on page 111-31 has been expanded from "Landscaping Plan"
(March 1993) to "Open Space/Recreation and Landscaping Plan" (May 1994). In addition to
discussing landscape requirements, this section now also discusses City park requirements.
Besides the park site in Planning Area 1, a 2.0-acre open space/paseo buffer is
planned in Planning Area 9 as a buffer to the existing Meadowview development.
A 5.9-acre detention basin is planned in Planning Area 2 next to the
commercial/office uses. "The detention basin, although it will serve a detention
function during winter storms, will contain a tarfed-covered bottom that will be
suitable for passive recreational activities and impromptu ball games for much of
the year. The sides of the basin will be planted with turf and trees" (see p. RI-31).
Additionally, the following text has been inserted on page II1-31 of the Specific
Plan:
"KCDC's proposal to provide park land in Campos Verdes in excess of the
4.0 acres required by TCSD standards will prove mutually beneficial for
both the TCSD and KCDC. The TCSD will receive an additional 3.5 acres
of developed park (suitable for both active and passive purposes), plus 5. 9
acres of landscape detention basin and a 2. O-acre landscaped buffer paseo
containing a multi-purpose trail In return, TCSD will: 1) accept
ownership and maintenance responsibility for the detention basin and
landscape buffer paseo in Campos Verde& and 2) allocate KCDC 75% park
credit for the 3.5 acres of developed park land that KCDC is providing in
Campos Verdes in excess of TCSD requirements which shall be counted
toward the park and recreation requirements of other projects within the
City of Temecula that KCDC is developing."
IV. PROJECT PHASING PLANS
The Development Phasing Plan for Campos Verdes, as depicted in Table II on page
111-36, has been revised to reflect the new Land Use Plan. The park site is planned
for construction in Phase I and will be completed prior to issuance of the 781h
building permit for the project or within two (2) years of Map Recordation for the
tirst phase lots. Phasing of the elementary school site will ultimately be decided
by the School District. The detention basin in Planting Area 2 is planned for
development in Phase II, but may be developed earlier or later depending upon the
phasing of the adjacent Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. The
commerciaYoffice and commercial uses will be consu'ucted in Phase H.

Maintenance responsibilities for Campos Verdes are specified on page II1-38 of the
Specific Plan. The TCSD will accept ownership and maintenance responsibility for
the detention basin, the 10.8-acre park, and the open space/paseo buffer adjacent to
Meadowview.
V. PLANNING AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS CHANGES
Pages HI-40 through 111-65 have been modified to illuswate the revised Land Use Plan and
the new planning areas. Formerly, there were seven planning areas; now, there are nine
planning areas. Each planning area contains new development standards and a graphic
illustration.
VI. ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGES
The Zoning Ordinance on pages I11-66 through H/-88 has undergone substantial revisions
since the previous version in March 1993. We suggest that staff and the Planning
Commission review this section of the document carefully.
At the direction of City staff, the zoning ordinance was completely reorganized to
reflect the format of the City's draft Development Code. The land uses and
development standards have been reorganized into tables to facilitate quick review.
Minor changes have been made in some instances but, for the most part, the
development standards and uses are primarily the same as those contained in the
previous version of the Specific Plan.
New sections have been created for the Low & Low Medium Density Residential
Districts. These districts did not exist in previous draft version.
The section on "On-site Signs" starting on page I11-82 of the Specific Plan has been
revised to eliminate redundancy. No changes in content have been made in the
signage section.
VII. DESIGN GUIDELINES CHANGES
Changes have been made throughout the entire Design Guidelines section to coincide with the new
Land Use Plan. In revising this section of the Specific Plan, a minimum number of changes was
made to ensure consistency with the revised Land Use Plan, while preserving the design intent of
the section intact. Most of the changes in this section were made to the graphics.
