The Planning Department Staff recommends the Planning
Commission:
ADOPT Resolution No. 95- approving PA94-0138,
Revised Permit based upon the Analysis and Findings
contained in the Staff Report; and
APPROVE Planning Application No. PA94-0138, Revised

APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICANT:
Harry Reynolds & Cheryl Huber
REPRESENTATIVE:
Tim Hill
PROPOSAL:
Revise the conditions of approval to convert an existing
nightclub which allows minors to the club and "beer only"
alcohol sales to a "21 and over" nightclub.

BACKGROUND
There have been three previous City approvals for nightclubs at this location. The first
approval was for the Dimensions nightclub, a "Under 21 ' teen nightclub with no alcohol sales.
Next, in June of 1993, the City Council approved Planning Application No. PA93-0038,
Conditional Use Permit. The approval was for a nightclub for people 21 years and older, and
allowed for alcohol. Finally, in May of 1994, the Planning Commission approved Planning
Application No. PA94-0026, Revised Conditional Use Permit. This approval allowed people
under 21 to use the nightclub, and required the applicant to obtain a Type 41 (beer only)
alcohol license.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is currently requesting that the conditions of approval be amended to allow the
type of nightclub which was approved under PA93-0038. The previous condition that
permitted minors into tl~e nightclub would no longer be valid. The deletion of this condition
would allow the applicant to obtain either a Type 42 (beer and wine) or Type 48 (hard alcohol)
alcohol license.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The applicant is proposing a similar use to.that which was previously approved by the City of
Temecula. The project, as conditioned, will ensure that the project is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. Since the club has been in operation with alcohol sales, there have
not been any reported problems with the surrounding business tenants.
FINDINGS
PA94-0138, Revised Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the City's General Plan
due to the fact that the project is consistent with existing zoning of General
Commercial and 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. The project meets the criteria prescribed under
Ordinance No. 348, Section 18.28. In addition, the attached Conditions of Approval
will assure adequate circulation, access and parking which will facilitate the proposed
use.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, because it does
not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area. The
project conforms with applicable land use and development regulations. Surrounding
development is predominantly commercial and operates during daytime hours. The
proposed use has been conditioned to insure it will not impact the surrounding area
businesses.
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
15061 (b)(3).

Gary Thornhill, Director of Planning
June 8, 1993
PA93-0038, a request to conver~ an existing young adult nightclub into an
adult only nightclub which will allow the selling and on-site consumption of
alcohol.
Prepared By:
Craig D. Ruiz, Assistant Planner
RECOMMENDATION: It is requested that the City Council:
Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 93-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DENYING PA93-0038, MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AFFIRMING
THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO DENY SAID
APPLICATION TO ALLOW THE CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING YOUNG
ADULT NIGHTCLUB INTO AN ADULT ONLY NIGHTCLUB WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE SELLING AND ON-SITE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL
LOCATED AT 28822 FRONT STREET.
BACKGROUND
Ih June of 1991, Administrative Plot Plan No. 15.3 was approved for the Valley Beat teen
nightclub. In April of 1992, the applicant subsequently received City Council approval for
Conditional Use Permit No. 19 for this same use.
On February 23, 1993, the applicant filed a Minor Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application
in accordance with Ordinance No. 93-07 (Adult Business Ordinance) for the conversion of an
existing young adult nightclub to an adult nightclub. Ordinance No. 93-07 requires a CUP for
the establishment of bars and cocktail lounges. The CUP was filed as a Director approval;
however, because of concerns relating to compatibility of the proposed use, the matter was
referred by the Planning Director to the Planning Commission for consideration.
On April 5, 1993, the City of Temecula Planning Commission voted 5-0 to deny PA93-0038,
Minor Conditional Use Permit.
DISCUSSION
The primary issue of concern raised by the Planning Commission during the public hearing for
this project was the proximity between the proposed nightclub and the Temecula Teen Center
and the Skate City skating rink. The location of the proposed use would be approximately
400 feet from both the teen center and the skating rink. The Temecula Teen Center and
Skate City skating rink are uses that cater primarily to minors.
The Planning Commission found that the proposed nightclub in this location would result in
an incompatibility of land uses. This finding was based on the fact that the teen center and
the skating rink would operate during essentially the same hours as the proposed nightclub.
The Planning Commission also found that the sale and on-site consumption of alcohol this
close to the teen center and the skating rink would pose a threat to the general health, safety
and welfare of the community. Based upon these two findings the Commission denied the
appiicant's request.
Also discussed during the public hearing was a concern raised by three citizens that there was
a history of excessive noise C~ning from the teen club's sound system. The citizens
explained that music would travel across Interstate 15 and could be heard at their residences
in the Rancho Highlands development.
FISCALIMPACT

Proposal to convert an existing teen night club to an adult night club located at 28822
Front Street, Suite 203, Temecula.
Planner Craig Ruiz presented the staff report.
Chairman Fahey questioned why the General Ran Consistency states that the site will
likely be consistent with the City's future adopted General Plan, when the proposed
use poses a threat to public health, safety and general welfare.
Debbie Ubnoske suggested that a 01icy be added requiring that the site be consistent
w~th the General Plan s futurn~ u~..~
Chairman Fahey opened the public hearing at 7:30 P.M.
Chuck Bell, representing Industrial Developers, 113 East Bay Avenue, Newport Beach,
stated that the land use is contradictory in Items 1 and 4 and the applicant is
proposing the legal use under the zoning of the site. He stated that staff did not
include what would be detrimental to public health, safety and welfare, in drinking of
alcohol in moderation. Mr. Bell stated that he feels there is less use at the Teen
Center, than there was at the Teen Nightclub. He added that he feels the project is
a significant distance from the Skating Rink and the Teen Center. Mr. Bell corrected

project. Mr. Alberts advised that he also was negatively impacted by the teen

complaints from neighbors, the club operators would work with the neighbors to
rectify the problem.

ZONING AND FUTURE GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project site is zoned C-P (General Commercial) and the adjacent parcels are also zoned
General Commercial. While the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of the
C-P Zone, the use is not consistent with Section 18.28 of Ordinance 348 which requires that
a proposed use not pose a threat to public health, safety and general welfare of the
community.
The proposed Draft General Plan Land Use Designation is Service Commercial. It is
anticipated that the site will likely be consistent with the City's future adopted General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff has determined the project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act per
Section 15061 (b)(3).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
While the project is consistent with Section 9.1 of Ordinance No. 348 (the General
Commercial Zone) the proposed use does not meet the requirement of Section 18.28 of
Ordinance 348 for Conditional Use Permits. Section 18.28 requires that proposed uses not
pose a threat to public health, safety and general welfare of the community. Due to the
proximity of the proposed nightclub to the Temecula Teen Center and the Skate City skating
rink, the proposed use has the potential to pose a threat to the health, safety or general
welfare of the community.
FINDINGS
There is a reasonable probability that PA93-0038, Minor Conditional Use Permit will
be consistent with the City's future General Plan, which will be completed in a
reasonable time and in accordance with State law due to the fact that the project is
consistent with existing zoning of General Commercial and the Draft General Plan
Land Use designation of Service Commercial.
The proposed project is not consistent with Ordinance No. 348 since the use does not
meet all the requirements of Section 18.28 of Ordinance No. 348 which requires that
a proposed use not pose a threat to public ~ealth, safety and general welfare of the
community.
The project, as proposed, will adversely affect the public health and welfare on the
grounds the use will allow the selling and on-site consumption of alcohol in close
proximity to the Temecula Teen Center and the Skate City skating rink,
The project, as proposed, would result in incompatible land uses on the grounds the
use will allow the selling and on-site consumption of alcohol in close proximity to the
Temecula Teen Center and the Skate City skating rink.
The proposed project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act per
Section 15061 (b)(3).

Use of Teen Center will be leaving shortly. The Teen Center closes at 10:00 p.m.,
far sooner than proposed club would close. There is a wall between Teen Center
and the subject property.
Security guards would eliminate potential loitering problems.
There are two buildings that physically separate the nightclub and skating dnk.
Skating rink would close far sooner than the proposed club. There is also a 3 ft.
grade separation between the two properties.
About 20-25 jobs can be created locally. ·
We have taken measures to eliminate sound problems across the freeway by
building a wall. Since then, we have received no complaints. This happened
approximately one month after the club opened.
Any potential problems can be resolved through the C.U.P. process.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is requested that the City Council:
Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 93-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DENYING PA93-0038, MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AFFIRMING
THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO DENY SAID
APPLICATION TO ALLOW THE CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING YOUNG
ADULT NIGHTCLUB INTO AN ADULT ONLY NIGHTCLUB WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE SELLING AND ON-SITE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL

BACKGROUND
tn June of 1991, Administrative Plot Plan No. 153 was approved for the Valiey Beat teen
nightciub. In April of 1992, the applicant subsequently received City Council approval for
Conditional Use Permit No. 19 for this same use.
On February 23, 1993, the applicant filed a Minor Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application
in accordance with Ordinance No. 93-07 (Adult Business Ordinance) for the conversion of an
existing young adult nightclub to an adult nightclub, Ordinance No. 93-07 requires a CUP for
the establishment of bars and cocktail lounges. The CUP was filed as a Director approval;
however, because of concerns relating to compatibility of the proposed use, the matter was
referred by the Planning Director to the Planning Commission for consideration.
On April 5, 1993, the City of Temecula Planning Commission voted 5-0 to deny PA93-0038,
Minor Conditional Use Permit.

DISCUSSION
The primary issue of concern raised by the Planning Commission during the public hearing for
this project was the proximity between the proposed nightclub and the Temecula Teen Center
and the Skate City skating rink. The location of the proposed use would be approximately
400 feet from both the teen center and the skating rink. The Temecula Teen Center and
Skate City skating rink are uses that cater primarily to minors.
The Planning Commission found that the proposed nightclub in this location would result in
an incompatibility of land uses. This finding was based on the fact that the teen center and
the skating rink would operate during essentially the same hours as the proposed nightclub.
The Planning Commission also found that the sale and on-site consumption of alcohol this
close to the teen center and the skating rink would pose a threat to the general health, safety
and welfare of the community. Based upon these two findings the Commission denied the
appiicant's request.
Also discussed during the public hearing was a concern raised by three citizens that there was
a history of excessive noise coming from the teen club's sound system. The citizens
explained that music would travel across Interstate 15 and could be heard at their residences
in the Rancho Highlands development.

BACKGROUND
On April 5, 1994, the Planning Commission denied Planning Application No. PA93-0038, a
request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the conversion of the existing "Dimensions Teen
Night Club" to a night club that served alcohol. At that time, the Commission expressed
concern about the night clubs proximity to the City of Temecula Teen Center and the
rollerskating rink. The applicant subsequently appealed the Planning Commission's decision,
and on June 22, 1993, the City Council overturned the Planning Commission's decision.
As a result, the applicant for PA93-0038 elected not to proceed with the Council approval.
Because the conditions of approval for PA93-O038 did not state that the approval was "non-
transferable" the applicant for the current application, PA94-0026, was permitted to use the
approval consistent with conditions of approval.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located at 28822 Front Street, Suites 203 & 204. The use occupies an
approximately 10, 140 square foot, two story suite. The Revised Conditional Use Permit is a
request to modify the underlying conditions of approval to change the hours of operation,
allow the serving of food end to allow minors into the night club.
ANALYSIS
The purpose of this application is to revise two existing conditions of approval and to add one
new condition of approval. The applicant is requesting that the hours of operation be modified
to allow the club to open at 1:00 pm, versus 5:00 pm, on Sundays only. Second, the
applicant has requested that he be permitted to serve catered food on Sundays only. Third,
the applicant is requesting that minors be allowed into the night club on Fridays and Sundays
only. The applicant feels that by making these changes, the business will be able to attract
- a family clientele.
The applicant operates under an alcohol license (Type 42) which allows the sale of beer and
wine. Under this license, the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) does not allow persons under
21 years of age into the night club. The applicant is requesting to allow minors into the night
club when accompanied by an adult 21 years or older, on Fridays and Sundays only. To
accomplish this, the applicant must obtain a new "beer only' alcohol license (Type 40) from
the ABC.
The applicant has been operating the club since February of 1994. To date, the applicant has
complied with all conditions of approval place upon the use. Neither the Police Department
nor staff has received any complaints regarding the use. Additionally, subsequent to the
original approval, the Teen Center relocsted. Because this is a Conditional Use Permit, the
City retains the right to revoke the permit should the applicant violate the terms and conditions
of the permit.
R:%STN:FFFI~ePA94..pC 4/2~/~4 klb 2
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 changes to the conditions of approval are consistent with
the requirements of the C-P Zone and Section 18.28 of Ordinance 348. Section 18.28 of
Ordinance 348 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 changes to the
existing use are consistent with the Service Commercial designation due to the fact that the
changes will not significantly alter the current commercial use.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff has determined the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and is
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, subsequent to Section
15061 (b)(3).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project is consistent with Section 9.1 (General Commercial Zone) of Ordinance No. 348.
The use is also consistent with Section 18.28 of Ordinance No. 348. Section 18.28 requires
that proposed uses not pose a threat to public health, safety and general welfare of the
community. It is staff's opinion that the changes to the use will not constitute a threat to the
health, safety or general welfare of the community.
FINDINGS
PA94-0026, Revised Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the City's General Plan
due to the fact that the project is consistent with existing zoning of General
Commercial and 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. The project meets the criteria prescribed under
Ordinance No. 348, Section 18.28. In addition, the attached Conditions of Approval
will assure adequate circulation, access and parking which will facilitate the proposed
use.
The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, because it does
not represent a significant change to the present or planned land use of the area. The
project conforms with applicable land use and development regulations. Surrounding
development is predominantly commercial and operates during daytime hours. The
proposed use has been conditioned to insure it will not impact the surrounding area
businesses.

Dear Sir or Madam:
We are general counsel to Chi31 Promotions, Inc., a California cozpova~on which
owns and operates the cabazet/nightahb known as Mexica3i P, vsc C~ntina. The business is
located at 28822 From Stzeet, Nos. 203-204, Temecula, California 92590 (the "Pn~mises").
Tim Hill, the president of Chili Promotions, Inc. ~dced uS to set forth in writing the
amendment which it dcsirr, s to the Conditional Use Permit fwrn the City of Temecula for the
l~mises and the reasons for such amendment.
The MexicaU Rose C. aatinn operates ca~y under the City of Temccuh's
Conditional Use Permit No. PA93-0038 (the "C.U.P. ") The general requiremenU under the
C.U.P. dictate that an adult-only nightebb be oper~t_,~_ on the Premises. The hours of
operatiou must be limited between 5:00 p,m. and 2:00 a.m., Monday through Sunday. In
addition, the C.U.P. prohibits anyone under the age of 21 fwm entering the l)l~mir, e~.
The C.U.P. in its pzesent form was granted to the prior opcmWr of the Premises.
That operator was unsuccessful, and he vacaXed the Premises. The Maicali Pose Cantina
r. nte~.,d inW a new lease with the landlord, remodeled the Prem~i~es and began bums
operations e~xlier this yeaL In the time that the bu_~it,p-~s has been opened, it is our
undentanding that thex~ have been no complMet$ by neighbors, nor have the police been
called regarding any disturbances. The Mexicali Pose Cantinn has a state-of-the-art security
system, and its cover charge for admission to the Premises attraen patwen looking for
e, ntertainment rather than looking for tw~le.

The Mexicali Rose Cantina wouM like to have in C.U.P. mended so thai it may
engage in the following activities:
Ttz Mexicall Rose Cantina would like to change its hours of operation so that
it can open its doors for busine~ at l:00p.m. on $undays. Paragraph 6 of the
current C.U.P. prohibits opening prior to 5:00 p.m.
The Mexicali Roso Cantha would like to begin serving food, most likely in a
buffe~ style, to its customers. It is anticit~t_~_ that the food wLll be bn3ught
onto ~he Premises by a licensed caw, rcr from the area.
3. Dinner 'shows may be pwvided featuring clowns, magicians, marhchis, etc.
The Mexicali Rose Cantim is petitioning the State of California Alcohol
Beverage Control Board to demote its current No. 42 liquor license, permitting
it to serve beer and wine, to a No. 40 liquor llcen~ authorizing it to serve
only benr. It is our understanding that under the reguhtions of the Sn,~ of
C. alj/ornia Alcohol Beverage Control Board, with a No. 40 license, minon are
allowed on the premises.
The Idexicali Rose Canthu would like to be ablc to admit pe~vns to its
Promises under the ago of 21. Seclion 6 of the C.U.P. currently prohibits
allowing minors into the l>remjsu.
Live music will continue to be performed, and those patrons 16 years old and
over will be allowed to remain on the Premises in the dance area.
It is the goal of Chill Promotions, Inc. to crcaz more of a family motion with less
of a nightclub aUnosphere, and Chill Promotio/n, inc. is willing to downfftade their liquor
license in an effort to serve more food, soda and entertainment.
The Maicali Rose Cn-tina will ~mplement the following proc_e~_ures ~o ensure that
pa1~'ons under the age of 21 will no~ be served beer. Fir~, bccr will be served only from an
upstairs bar which is sepamed from the dance am at the Premises. Second, a s~-'urity
guard will be posted at the base of tlz cntry to the upstairs bar to ensure that no one under
21 has access to the arcain which beer is served. Third, the hands of those patrons wbe
have presented ID evicl~mcin~ thor_ they are over ~ age of 21 will be stamped. Finally, on
[hose days in which minors at~ admilled lo the Pl~nlise~, food will be served ontil 9:00 p.m.

City of Temecula
Planning Department
43174 Business Park Drive
Temecula, CA 92590 '-
Dear Sir or Madam;
I am President of Chill Promotions Inc., a California corporation
which owns and operates the P~haret/Nightclub known as the b~xicali
Rose Cantina. The business is located at 28822 Front St., suites 203
and 204, Temecula, CA., 92590 (The "Premises").
I am writing this leeter on behalf of Industrial Developers (the
"Landlord"), Cheryl Huber and Harry Reynolds (the "New tenants"), as
well as myself Tim Hill (Chill Promotions). It is our desire to have
the last amendment to our Conditional Use Permit revok~a~ thus
restoring our C.U.P. to it's original form as granted to the premises
on June 22,1993. The intent of this letter is to set forth in
writing our reasons for such a revocation or amendment.
For the past y~ar, the Mexicali Rose Cantina has operated under the
City of Temecula's Conditional Use Permit no. PA93-0038, revised
no. PA94-0026 (the C.U.P. ). The original C.U.P. granted permission
to operate an adult-only nightclub on the premises. The revised -
C.U.P. further granted the admittance of mixx3rs, under certain
conditions, onto the premises.
Chill Promotions has decided to relocate the Mexicali Rose Cantina to
a city where the demographics support an all "Mexican Music" Club.
The new tenants have carefully studied the demographics and have
decided to change the music and atmosphere at the premises. The new
tenants intend to play all i~EP_mic~n Music, serve liquor, and o~ly
allow adults 21 years of age or older onto the premises.
Mexicali Rose Night Club · 28822 Front Street · Temecula, CA · (909) 695-1350
page2
The style of D~_xican Music that I have been playing at the Mexicali
Rose CantiDa catered to teenagers, as well as adults, therefore I
felt the need to amend the C.U.P. as I requested and w~s granted by
the Temecula Planning Cc~sion May 2, 1994.
The new tenants have no reason to cater to minors and would prefer
operating an esf~blishment under the exmct guidelines set forth in the
original C.U.P. before I armnended it to suit my needs and purposes.
I have operated the club both with and without minors. I am now of
the opinion that allowing minors into a nightclub environment is a
mistake and I personally will never .operate a club in any city that
caters to anyone under 21 years of age again.
Mexicali Rose is the first establishment to operate on the premises
since the original C.U.P. w-as issued. Therefore, we are the o~ly
estzhlishment ever on these premises that has served alcohol.
I am extremely proud of our flawless reputation. We have proven that
with proper attention to security a nightclub can operate without
being a burden to it's City and Police Department. In our y~ar of
operation, there hs~ n~v~ been a single disturbance which r.equlred a
call to the police from our esf~hlishme_nt. To our knowledge, there
has never been a single complaint from anyone concerning our
est~blishmant. We have implemented high-tech security features as
well as extra attention to noise-deadening technigues. The results
have created a safe and fun atmosphere that has never caused even a
single "noise" disturbance to our neighbors.
I would encourage you to verify these facts through Dan Feltenburger,
the Temecula Police Officer who has been involved in our operation' s
C.U.P. and C.U.P. revisions frce the beginning.
The new tenants are retaining all of the safety equi~ent and fixtures
which have been used on the premises for the past year. The new
tenants further intend to keep high visibility to their in-house
security team, inside as well as outside the club during business hours.
We respectfully request that you will assist us in restoring. our C.U.P.
to it's original form.

Prepared By: Saied Naaseh
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department Staff recommends the Planning
Commission:
RECOMMEND Adoption of Resolution No. 95-
certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report (PA 93-
0180) for Johnson Ranch Specific Plan, Annexation,
General Plan Amendment, Change of Zone and;
RECOMMEND Adoption of Resolution No. 95-

approving Change of Zone (PA93-0181 ), based upon the
Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report.
RECOMMEND Adoption of Resolution No. 95-
approving Johnson Ranch Annexation (PA93-0183),
based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the
Staff Report and subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval.
RECOMMEND Adoption of Resolution No. 95-
approving General Plan Amendment (PA93-0185)based
upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff
Report.
BACKGROUND
On January 9, 1995 the Planning Commission took public testimony and continued this item
with a 5-0 vote. In doing so the Commission requested the applicant to answer all questions
that were asked in the hearing. Attachments 7 through 13 include all correspondence that
was either distributed to the Planning Commission at the previous hearing or received by Staff
following the hearing. The Conditions of Approval have been modified to reflect all the
changes recommended by the Memorandum from the Planning Director to the Planning
Commission dated January 9, 1995.
Since the last staff report the applicant has withdrawn his request for a General plan
Amendment for modifying the General Plan cross sections. Moreover, the General Plan
Amendment for deletion of Anza Road as a General Plan Road needs to be explained in more
detail. The applicant is proposing to delete Anza Road as a four lane arterial throughout the
site. Staff support this General Plan Amendment; however Staff is recommending to keep a
two lane connection throughout the site for Anza Road. The applicant is in support of Staff's
position by providing a two lane connection road between Borel Road and "A" Street.
However, the applicant does not wish to extend Anza Road south of "A" Street to the
southeast corner of the site.
ANALYSIS
Attachment 14 includes a list of questions that the Planning Commission directed the applicant
to answer. These questions were prepared by Staff by listening to the Planning Commission
hearing tape. Each question is followed by an answer that was prepared by the applicant.
In order to distribute the Planning Commission packets on time, Staff has not had a chance
to review these answers for accuracy. Staff will be prepared to provide comments at the
Planning Commission hearing.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that The
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's
(Metropolitan) negotiations with Johnson Machinery concerning
the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan are ongoing. Enclosed herewith

Dear Mr. Thornhill:
Johnson Ranch SDecific Plan Environmental ImPact Report
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
(Metropolitan) is in the design stage for its San Diego Pipeline
No. 6 Project, which crosses the Johnson Ranch property from the
adjacent Lake Skinner property to Anza Road. The Final EIR for
the San Diego Pipeline No. 6 Project was certified in June of
1993, with a preferred alignment along Buck Road, then planned as
part of the County Transportation Plan. On October 13, 1994,
after our request to representatives of Johnson Ranch,
Metropolitan received a copy of the Draft Environmental Impact
Report (DEIR) for the Proposed Johnson Ranch Specific Plan
(Planning Application 93-0180) from Douglas Wood and Associates.
Upon reviewing this draft document after the public review period
had closed in late August of 1994, we noted that the existing
Buck Road alignment is not part of the proposed Johnson Ranch
Specific Plan.
We have subsequently met with representatives from the
Johnson Ranch property and are working with them on the alignment
of the San Diego Pipeline No. 6 through the property. Johnson
Ranch owners need to ensure that Metropolitan's existing easement
and fee corridor containing its San Diego Pipeline Nos. 3, 4, and
5 will not be affected by the proposed specific plan. Attached to
this letter for your use is a copy of the "Guidelines for
Developments in the Area of Facilities, Fee Properties, and/or
Easements of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California". Metropolitan has contacted a member of your staff,
Saied Naaseh, to facilitate coordination between your agency,
Johnson Ranch representatives, and Metropolitan. We look .forward
to receiving copies of the comment letters to the DEIR, the Final
EIR, and the proposed mitigation monitoring program from your
agency.
--,c METRDPSLITAN WAYER DIJTRI~T Otr SOUTHERN ~4LlYORNIA
Mr. Gary Thornhill -2- December 19, 1994
We will continue coordinating our planning efforts with
those associated with the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan
development. In so doing, Metropolitan and Johnson Machinery
Company will be able to reach their respective objectives
concerning the San Diego Pipeline No. 6 Project and the Johnson
Ranch Specific Plan.
In the meantime, we request the City of Temecula and
the proponents of the project to direct all further inquiries on
this matter to B. Anatole Palagan, Metropolitan's San Diego

Plan
The pro3ect is proposing changes to ~he roadways on County
Public Facilities and Services Element Circulation section
which will require a General Plan Amendment to delete or down
grade these facilities as proposed.
There are significant off-site infrastructure improvements that
this project is dependent upon for circulation and traffic
impact mitigation. The traffic study in the technical appendix
indicates that most of these improvements are being provided
by others (Southwest Road and Bridge Benefit District, AD 161,
CFD 88-12, and Conditions of Approval). The document states
that the applicant will pay a "fare share" cost for required
infrastructure improvements. The applicant can only pay a
'fare share" cost for improvements if the propert~ is within
the boundaries of a funding district and the fa$~lities are
identified. Any other off~site improvements will be the
responsibility of the applicant.
In Traffic and Circulati0n Section, mitigation measure
nounbar 3 (pg. I~-83) states that Murrieta Hot Springs Road
needs to be built from the western project boundarythrough the
site· This mitigation measure needs to be amended to include
the following language: "The applicant/developer will
coordinate with the Transportation Depar=ment, specifically
Assessment District 161 for the construction of Murrieta Hot
Springs Road."
The document recomends a Traffi~ Mitigation/Monitoring Program
_with a trip threshold of ¢00 peak.hour trips before an analysis
of "hot spots" would be required. The project needs to turn in
opening year analysis for all development projects within the
plan to ensure level of service is being main~ained. The
Department also recommends a'cumulative analysis for "hot
spots" at a 200 peak hour trip threshold in order to be
consistent with CMp requirements. --
The Congestion Management Program Traffic Impact Analysis
(C~P TIA) and the traffic study indicate that Murrieta Ho~
Springs Road will be widened to a six lane Urban Arterial
~ighway. This roadway is to be improved to a four lane Arterial
Highway in the unincorporated area· The document needS..to
clarify who is going to provide the two additional lan~s and
how they are to be paid for.
The CMP TIA mitigation measures for project' traffic impacts
consists of a Traffic Mitigation/Monitoring Program, a
circulation phasing plan, and "fare share "payment mechanism
paid to the City of Temecula. It should be noted that this
project and surrounding area is within the unincorporated
,/
DEIR - Johnson Ranch Specific Plan
August 29, 1994
Page 3
portion of the County. Mitigation measures need to be based
on what is acceptable to Riverside County, and any "fare share"
~ees that are paid. need to be paid to Riverside County.
The City of Temecula should consult with our DepazT. ment in order
~o assess potential traffic impacts from buildout of the proposed
project which may affect the circulation system within the County.
The mitigation measures outlined in the DEIR should be implemented
and required To comply with the standards of the Riverside County
Transportation Department. Any impacts to the County circulation
s~stem should be completely addressed and mitigated to our
requirements.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the DEIR and
would like to request a copy of the Final EIR when available. If
you have questions, please contact Sena B. WiJesinha, Senior
Transportation Planner, at {909) 275-6828 or Sian Roman, Associate
Planner, at (909) 285-6874.

Johnson Ranch - Response to County of Riverside Transportation
Department Letter dated January 9, 1995
The Department of Public Works has reviewed the letter from the County of Riverside
Transportation Department dated January 9, 1995 and offers the following comments:
The Department of Public Works has conditioned the Johnson Ranch Project for the
essential access infrastructure. The conditions were based on the attached chart
analyzing the essential access roads. The conditions also provide for a
reimbursement agreement with adjacent property owner(s) as development occurs.
The eligible reimbursement roads were determined to be Murrieta Hot Springs Road
and Butterfield Stage Road. The attached chart provides the City's determination of
the required off-site roadway improvements.
The Project Traffic Analysis does state 'peak hour trips' and not 'dwelling units'.
Also, the focused traffic analysis shall be done at 200 peak hour trips to be
consistent with the Congestion Management Plan.
It is the Department of Public Works' understanding that Murrieta Hot Springs Road
will ultimately be six (6) lanes and designated as an Urban Arterial Highway from I-15
to Date Road and an Arterial Highway from Date Road to Butterfield Stage Road.
The Project has been conditioned to provide four (4) lanes from Butterfield Stage
Road to Leon Road.

Re;
Johnson Ranch Specific Plan Conditions of ADDroval and
Mitiaation Mbasures
Dear Chairman Ford and Members of the Planning Commission:
I am writing on behalf of the applicant for the Johnson Ranch Specific
Plan, Johnson Machinery Co., to express our support of Staff's recommendation of
approval of the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan. There are, however, several
proposed Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures with which we do not
agree and which are either unnecessary, redundant or not in accordance with
applicable law; Our justification for questioning the proposed Conditions of
Approval and Mitigation Measures are described below, along with our proposed
revisions. The references below are to the Planning Department ("PD") and TCSD
Conditions of Approval attached to the Staff Report and to the mitigation measures
in the proposed Mitigation Measure Program ("MMP"). Attached to this letter is a
le~er to Ray Casey containing suggested revisions to some of the Public Works
Department's proposed Conditions of Approval. We will continue to work with
City Staff to attempt to resolve these few remaining issues prior to Monday's
hearing and will be prepared to address any questions the Commission may have at
that time.
1. TCSD Condition Nos. 1, 8, 10, 17 and 20, and MMP 0.5.1
(Parkland Dedication and Iml~rovements)
These conditions and mitigation measures all relate to the dedication
and improvement of park and recreational land and facilities and the payment of
parks and recreation fees. In total, the conditions attempt to impose on the project
Chairman Ford and
Members of the Planning Commission
January 5, 1995
Page 2
park and recreation requirements that are greatly in excess of what the law
permits. Johnson Machinery has already proposed dedicating park and recreational
sites and providing recreational trails throughout the open space areas of the
Specific Plan in excess of what the City can legally require. Any park and
recreational improvements further in excess of the legal requirements should be
negotiated in the proposed statutory Development Agreement and not imposed
through the Specific Plan.
The Quimby Act (Government Code § 66477) establishes the only
means by which the City may require the dedication and improvement of park and
recreational sites. The Quimby Act authorizes the City to require by ordinance the
dedication of land or the payment of fees in lieu of the dedication of land, or some
combination thereof, for park and recreational purposes. The amount of land to be
dedicated or fees to be paid must be based on residential density, "which shall be
determined on the basis of approved tentative maps and the average number of
persons per household." The amount of land required to be dedicated or the
payment of fees cannot exceed an amount necessary to provide three acres of park
and recreational land per 1,000 persons, up to five acres of land per 1,000 persons
if the city's existing park area exceeds three acres per thousand. If a developer
provides park and recreational improvements to the dedicated land, the value of the
improvements shall be credited against the payment of fees or dedication of land.
A recent case has held that any local requirements in excess of the Quimby Act
authorization are preempted by state law and therefore illegal. Auburn Manor
Holding CorD. v. City of Roseville, 29 Cal. App. 4th 336 (1994) [request for
hearing pending in California Supreme Court]. Moreover, no analysis has been
performed justifying such an excessive exaction that satisfies the statutory nexus
requirements of Government Code §66000 et seq. or constitutional principles.
The City has determined that the project's park land requirement
under the Quimby Act is 68 acres based on the maximum number of dwelling units
within the Specific Plan of 5,250, the assumed population of 13,598 persons and a
park standard of five acres per thousand. Assuming that the City can establish
that its existing park acreage is five acres per thousand, which the City is required
to do under the Quimby Act, the City can require either the dedication of 68 acres
of park land o_r the payment of fees in lieu of the dedication, or some combination
thereof. The City cannot, however, require the dedication and improvement of
68 acres of park land, the payment of additional fees and the improvement of all of
the recreational trails within the open space areas of the Specific Plan.

5:\DOC\172\CORR\95010004.LTR
Chairman Ford and
Members of the Planning Commission
January 5, 1995
Page 3
Johnson Machinery has proposed to dedicate 61 acres of land for
community, village and neighborhood park sites, provide 14 acres of improved
linear park within the Tucalota Creek open space area, (for which the City has
agreed to provide 7 acres of credit against the Quimby requirement) and provide
trail improvements within Planning Area 1. These conditions assure that the
project's Quimby Act requirements will be more than adequately satisfied as the
Specific Plan area is subdivided. The appropriate mechanism in which to consider
any additional park and recreational improvements is through the proposed
statutory Development Agreement.
In accordance with these comments, we would revise the Conditions
of Approval and Mitigation Measures as follows:
TCSD Condition No. 1: Revise the last sentence of this Condition to
read as follows:
"The Developer or his successors, shall improve and
dedicate to the City one (1) 15-acre Community Park site,
three (3) 6-acre Village Park sites, and nine (9) minimum
3-acre Neighborhood Park sites."
Condition No. 8: Condition No. 8 should be revised to read as
follows:
"Construction of the publio park sites, landscaping, trails
and medians proposed for dedication to the TCSD shall
commence pursuant to a pre-job meeting with the
Developer and the City Maintenance Superintendent."
Condition No. 10: Condition No. 10 should be revised to read as
follows:
"The Developer, or the Developer's successors or
assignees, shall maintain the park f_-_-5!!*.!_-.- sites,
landscaping, trails, and medians until such times as those
responsibilities are accepted by the TCSD."

S:\DOC\172\CORR\95010004.L~R
Chairman Ford and
Members of the Planning Commission
January 5, 1995
Page 4
Condition No. 17: Condition No. 17 should be revised to read as
follows:
"Prior to recordation of each final map, the Developer or
his successors, shall enter into an agreement and post
security to improve any rcspootivc public park 0itc,
parkway landscaping, medians and multi-purpose trails
that are proposed for dedication to the City."
Condition No. 20: Condition No. 20 should be revised to read as
follows:
"The public park site shall be improvod and dedicated to
the City prior to the issuance of residential building
permits as identified within the Park Phasing section of
the Specific Plan or pursuant to the park land
improvement agreement at recordation of the respective
final map, whichever comes first."
2. PD Condition No. 17 and MMP O.4.1 (School Facilities)
The draft EIR identified a mitigation measure for the project's school
facilities impacts requiring a Mitigation Agreement between the Developer and
School District before recordation of the first map. This mitigation measure
ensures that the project will comply with any school mitigation resolution ultimately
adopted by the City Council and is identical to that imposed by the City Council
recently on the Campos Verdes Specific Plan project. This mitigation measure has
been revised, however, to mimic Condition of Approval No. 17 and make the
approval of the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan contingent upon the Developer
reaching a binding Mitigation Agreement with the Temecula Valley Unified School
District if the City Council adopts the proposed school mitigation resolution
currently before it. It is unfair and unreasonable to apply the school mitigation
resolution to a project such as Johnson Ranch that has been under consideration
by the City for over a year.
The approval of the Specific Plan must be effective when it is adopted
by the City Council. Requiring a School Mitigation Agreement that complies with
the City's school mitigation policies prior to the recordation of the first final map,
01-04-95 9012-00002
S: \DOC\172\CORR\95010004. L1R
Chairman Ford and
Members of the Planning Commission

Page 5
as recommended in the draft EIR, will ensure that the substance of the City's
school mitigation resolution, in whatever form it is ultimately adopted by the City
Council, will be satisfied prior to development within the Specific Plan area.
We request that the original mitigation measure included in the draft
EIR replace Mitigation Measure 0.4.1 now included in the Mitigation Monitoring
Program and that Condition of Approval No. 17 be deleted.
3. PD Condition Nos. 19, 20, 35 and MMP 0.2.1, 0.3.2, 0.8.1, and
0.8.2 (Fire, Police and Libran/Fees):
The Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures include a
requirement for the payment of additional fees and the dedication of facilities for
fire, police and library services for which no legal basis has been established
through the EIR or any other analysis included in the record for this project in some
cases, the City is already collecting fees (e.g., for fire and library) and there is no
indication that the existing fees are inadequate. In addition, the fiscal impact
report included in the staff report demonstrates a surplus of annual revenues
available from this project for police protection, fire and library services. The
appropriate mechanism for imposing additional fees would be through the existing
fee programs or the proposed public facilities fee program currently being studied
after the requisite analysis has been conducted.
No analysis has been performed that would satisfy the statutory
requirements of the State "nexus" legislation (Government Code § 66000 et seq.)
or the constitutional standards recently established by the U.S. Supreme Court in
Dolan v. City of Tiaard. Moreover, to the extent the "additional fees" specified in
the Mitigation Measures are for operation or maintenance, they would be illegal
under Government Code §65913.8. Mitigation measures that are illegal are
infeasible under CEQA and cannot be imposed.
We request that the Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures
be modified as follows:
PD Condition No. 19: Replace the first sentence with the following:
"The applicant shall enter into a Development Agreement
or another similar and appropriate agreement or
mechanism which identifies and establishes appropriate
mitigation impact fees, land dedication and facilities
01 - 04 - 95 9012- 00002
S: \DOC\172\CORR\95010004. LTR
Chairman Ford and
Members of the Planning Commission

Page 6
construction requirements for the project consistent with
the Specific Plan and Mitigation Monitoring Program. The
Agreement or other mechanism shall also identify the
timing of the payment of fees, dedication of land and/or
facilities construction and the infrastructure financing
mechanisms to be used, which may include, without
limitation, reimbursement districts, fee programs and
land-secured, public financing districts."
PD Condition No. 20: Delete.
MMP 0.2.1: Delete the last sentence requiring the payment of
"additional fees" in addition to the current fire protection impact fee.
MMP 0.3.2: Delete.
MMP 0.8.1: Delete the last sentence requiring the payment of
additional fees on top of the current $100 per dwelling unit fee.
MMP 0.8.2: Delete because the Riverside County Library System has
indicated that they do not require and could not staff a new library site within the
Village Center. Therefore, this condition is unnecessary.
Condition No. 35: Delete because this general condition is redundant
and covered by various other conditions addressing the conditions for constructing
and/or financing the necessary infrastructure for the project.
4. Condition Nos. 32 and 33 (Plannine Area I Dedication):
Johnson Machinery is proposing to dedicate Planning Area 1 to an
appropriate public agency in exchange for credit against the fees imposed pursuant
to the City's current SKR fee ordinance or any other fee that may be levied by the
City in the future for open space or habitat acquisition, restoration, mitigation or
management purposes. The precise amount of the fee credit would be determined
at the time of dedication and would equal the fair market value of the Planning
Area.
The revisions to Condition Nos. 32 and 33 described below are
intended to clarify (i) that the Developer shall receive a fee credit, although the
amount will be determined later, (ii) that the credit will be available against any fees

levied for the same purposes that are served by dedication of the land, (iii) that the
manner of applying the fee credits in connection with development of the property
will be established pursuant to the proposed Open Space Mitigation Plan and (iv)
that such Plan would establish the timing of dedication.
With regard to the dedication timing, it is intended that all of Planning
Area 1 be dedicated as soon as possible in the development process, provided that
all necessary resource agencies' approvals have been obtained for development of
the Specific Plan. If all such approvals are not obtained at the time of approval of
the first implementing subdivision map or grading permit, the Open Space
Mitigation Plan would establish those portions of the open space to be dedicated in
connection with development of phases within the Specific Plan Area.
We ask that Condition No. 32 be revised to read as follows:
"The Developer shall receive a full or partial credit against
the fee imposed pursuant to Ordinance No. 663 of the
City, as it may be supplemented, amended or
superseded, or any other fee levied by the City for open
space or habitat acquisition, restoration, mitigation or
management purposes ("Habitat Fees"), in exchange for
dedication of Planning Area 1. The precise amount of the
fee credit shall be equal to the fair market value of
Planning Area '1, the area of which shall not be less than
402 acres. Fair market value shall be determined by a
MAI appraisal at the time the open space is dedicated.
The appraiser, the amount of the fee credit and the
dedication shall be approved by the RCHCA Board. The
Developer shall be responsible for the cost of the
appraisal and the appraisal shall be based on an
assumption that the Planning Area is zoned rural
residential (R-R) or a comparable zoning designation.
Unless an alternative method for applying fee credits is
approved in the Open Space Mitigation Plan described in
Condition No. 33, after the fee credit amount is
determined, a reduced Habitat Fee amount shall be
calculated for the entire project site, thereby spreading
the fee credit over the entire project site. This shall be
done by calculating the total Habitat Fee for the entire
site and reducing this amount by the fee credit amount

and dividing the result by the total acreage of the site
upon which the habitat fees may be imposed. The
amount of the fee credit shall not exceed the total Habitat
Fee for the project."
Condition No. 33: Revise the last sentence of Condition No. 33 to
read as follows:
"Planning Area I shall be dedicated to the RCHCA or
other appropriate agency prior to the issuance of any
grading permits for the project, unless the appropriate
resource agency approvals required for the development
of the Specific Plan have not been obtained, in which
case Planning Area I shall be dedicated in phases as set
forth in the Open Space Mitigation Plan."
5. Condition No. 38 |Multi-Family Private Open Sl~ace): This
Condition requires 30% of the gross area of the multi-family site within the Village
Center to be in open space. Condition of Approval No. 15 requires private open
space of at least 150 square feet to be provided for each multi-family dwelling unit.
It is unclear which Condition is controlling, It appears that only one should be
required and it should be consistent with existing City requirements.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of these comments and
proposed revisions.

Re: Proposed Conditions of ADoroyal
Dear Mr. Casey:
The following comments on the proposed Conditions of Approval
prepared by the Public Works Department are submitted on behalf of Johnson
Machinery Co., the applicant for the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan, as a follow-up
to your meeting with Jim Fergus and Bob Davis on Tuesday. The references are to
the Public Works Department Conditions of Approval which begin on page 47 of
the Staff Report, unless otherwise indicated.
Condition No. 3
This Condition appears to include proposed "fees" referenced in the
EIR, the legality of which we are challenging. The basis for the challenge will be
set forth in a separate letter to the Planning Commission with respect to other
proposed Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Measures. Condition No. 3 would
also have the applicant waive its rights to protest any fees imposed by the City
pursuant to programs that do not now exist and which have not even been
analyzed. We can only be required to pay legally-adopted fees as they exist at the
time they are required to be paid in the course of the development of the Specific
Plan. We request that the Condition be revised to read as follows:
"Prior to issuing building permits for the various phases
of development, the Developer shall pay any capital fee
for road improvements and public facilities imposed on
the property or project. The fee to be paid shall be in the
01-04-95 9029-00002
5:\DOC\172\CORR\95010003.LTR

Page 2
amount in effect at the time payment of the fee. If an
interim or public facility mitigation fee or district is under
review but has not been finally established by the date on
which the Developer requests its first building permit for
the project or any phase thereof, the Developer shall
execute an "Agreement for Payment of Public Facility
Fee." Concurrently with executing this Agreement, the
Developer shall post a bond to secure payment of the
Public Facility Fee, if one is adopted within a specified
period with respect to those dwelling units or commercial
structures for which the building permit is being issued.
The amount of the bond shall be $2 per square foot, not
to exceed $10,000 per dwelling unit or commercial
structure."
CONDITION NO. 9
The Planning Department is recommending 14 foot parkways for
streets larger than the 78 foot right-of-way. We understand, however, that the
Public Works Department does not wish to deviate from the standard curb-to-curb
distances for all streets. In addition, the Circulation Element depicts parkways of
only 10 to 12 feet on all typical roadway cross sections larger than 78 feet. We
would agree to the 14 foot parkway within the overall right-of-way designated in
the General Plan provided that 2 feet is taken out of the bikeway (reducing it from
10 feet to 8 feet) or that the sidewalks are reduced from 6 feet to 4 feet within a
12 foot parkway. Either approach would permit the amount of landscaping being
sought by the Planning Department. Consequently, we would propose to delete
the second sentence in Condition No. 9 and replace it with the following:
"On all streets larger than the 78 foot right-of-way
fourteen (14) foot parkways shall be provided within the
ultimate right-of-way if the bikeway width is reduced
from 10 feet to 8 feet or sidewalk width shall be reduced
from 6 feet to 4 feet within a twelve (12) foot parkway."
Condition No. 14
Generally, we agree with the approach you have taken on the
circulation improvements required for the project and your supporting
documentation. There are three issues with this Condition, however, that require
revision or clarification including (1) the Anza Road condition; (2) the
reimbursement provisions and (3) consideration of inclusion of the primary road
segments in the City's road fee program currently being studied.

5:\DOC\172\CORR\95010003.L~
Ray Casey
January 5, 1995
Page 3
We have requested that Anza Road within the property boundaries be
deleted. The road is unnecessary in the buildout condition based on the project's
traffic studies. In addition, the proposed Anza Road would cross both the open
space area to be established pursuant to the Specific Plan and Santa Gertrudis
Creek offsite. If the City does not choose to delete Anza Road we would propose,
in the alternative, that the right-of-way for Anza Road be dedicated, but not
improved, from "A" Street south to the project boundary, and that local subdivision
streets between "A" Street north to Borel Road be constructed in the course of
development of that area.
I understand that the Public Works Department is not opposed to
facilitating reimbursement to property owners that construct improvements in
excess of their fair share. The applicant agrees to participate in any reasonable
reimbursement mechanism required to reimburse any other property owner who
constructs improvements benefitting the Johnson Ranch property in excess of the
other property owner's fair share.
Butterfield Stage Road and other applicable road segments both within
the Specific Plan area and offsite appear to be of the type currently being studied
by the City for inclusion in the City's road fee or public facilities program. We
request that those road segments be included in the fee study and that fee credits
be available to any developer who constructs these roads, consistent with the
City's approach taken on other similar roadways in the City.
We request that the parenthetical language included in this Condition
regarding reimbursement agreements for Murrietta Hot Springs Road and Butterfield
Stage Road be deleted, that the Anza Road condition be delete and that the
following language be added at the end of the Condition:
"The City will facilitate reimbursement of
Developer's costs in excess of its fair share
for any infrastructure improvements
constructed by Developer through the
establishment of a fee district that includes
all benefitting properties, the requirement of
a reimbursement agreement as a condition
of approval of the development of any
benefitring properties, the establishment of
public financing districts, the grant of
appropriate fee credit or any combination
thereof. The Murrietta Hot Springs Road

and Butterfield Stage Road segments and
any other road segments described in this
Condition that provide an area-wide
circulation benefit shall be included in any
road fee program study prepared by the City
and fee credits shall be available in
connection with the construction of such
segments.
Condition No. 15
We understand that the Public Works Department is comfortable with
identifying through subsequent traffic studies and a development or infrastructure
improvement agreement specific road increments to be bonded for or constructed.
In other words, Public Works will not necessarily require the entire full width
improvement to be bonded for or constructed at the outset.
We request that the last sentence in this Condition be deleted and
replaced with the following:
"Unless the improvements are constructed at the time of
recordation of the first final map or issuance of the first
grading permit within the Specific Plan area, the
Developer shall bond for or construct the improvements
to Murrietta Hot Springs Road and Butterfield Stage Road
in accordance with the Specific Plan requirements. The
bonding or construction requirements shall be established
pursuant to subsequent required traffic studies and a
development or improvement agreement between the
City and Developer which shall establish the increments
and phases of construction of the improvements."
Condition No. 16
For the same reasons discussed with respect to Condition No. 15,
delete the first sentence in this Condition and replace it with the following:
"Except to the extent already constructed prior to
recordation of the first final map or issuance of the first
grading permit within the Specific Plan area, the
Developer shall bond for or construct the traffic signals at
the intersections listed below. The requirements for
bonding or constructing the traffic signals in stages or

increments shall be established pursuant to a
development or improvement agreement between the
Developer and the City and subsequent required traffic
studies. In addition, the City will facilitate reimbursement
of Developer's costs in excess of its fair share for any
traffic signals constructed by Developer through the
establishment of a fee reimbursement district that
includes all benefitring properties, the requirement of a
reimbursement agreement as a condition of approval of
the development of any benefitting properties, the
establishment of public financing districts, the grant of
appropriate fee credits or any combination thereof.
Please revise the following drainage and grading conditions as
indicated.
Condition No. 19:
This Specific Plan oh.-!! may include retention facilities that to control
runoff of all storms up to a one in one hundred year storm (or as determined by the
Department of Public Works) so that downstream peak flows will not increase the
risk of storm damage to downstream properties due to this development. Prior to
approval of any subdivision, development plan or grading permit for the Johnson
Ranch Specific Plan, a watershed wide retention policy must be in place and an
engineered plan for its implementation on this the particular site must be approved
by the Department of Public Works.
Condition No. 20
The proposed Santa Gcrtrudis Crcck and open space drainage swale
through the site to Tucalota Creek drainage systems and dctcntion facilities are
critical elements of the entire specific plan. Their final size, location and schedule
of implementation are crucial in the development of this site. Even though the
applicant believes that the final engineering of these facilities will result in a design
that will "fit" the land use plan, the applicant shall complete and the City shall
approve cuch final a preliminary engineering plan prior to the approval of any
further development proposals within the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan,
including,but not limitcd to excluding the approval of a parcel map processed for
financing purposes.
Condition No. 22
Prior to approval of any subsequent development applications, the
Developer shall submit a Master Drainage and Watershed Plan, including ~

an updated Hydrology Study, for review and approval by the City and RCFC &
WCD that analyzes the adequacy of the proposed and existing downstream
drainage facilities, including the necessity for detention and alesilting facilities.
Condition No. 24
All open channel drainage facilities shall be designed to carry 1 O0 year
storm flows subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works and RCFC
& WCD, as applicable.
Condition No. 29
The 100 year flood plains for all natural water courses shall be

plans shall delineate the 100-year flood plain adjacent to the grading area. A Flood
Plain Development Permit shall be required for any encroachment into the mapped
floodway.

import/export route shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works prior to
issuance of any grading permit. The plan shall include limitation to the duration of
the grading operation and construction activities, a Traffic Control Plan, and a daily
time schedule of operations.

Temecula, Ca. 92591
Dear Commission Members:
My name is Raymond Gianton and I reside at 33120 Vino Way in an
unincorporated area of Riverside county. My community is just to the south of
the Johnson Ranch that is proposing a large development.
I am against the plan as it is currently proposed. The development in this area
should not be as dense as what the Johnson people want. Obviously the
Johnson developers want to squeeze ever dollar that they can out of their
property. I can not fault them for attempting to do so, but it is not in the best
interest of the City of Temecula nor the valley as a whole.
Like many other people in*Temecula and surrounding areas, we moved out here
~for the rural atmosphere and for a quality environment to bring up a family. I was
~very pleased when the Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted the
SWAP. This plan shows parcel sizes of the Johnson Ranch to be a mixture of
1,2.5 and 5 acres. The City subsequently incorporated and developed the
iTemecula Land Use Plan. This plan show higher densities for the Johnson
~ Ranch. Now the developers want Temecula to break this plan and develop more
idensely. This is exactly how areas become over developed. I implore that
iTemecula not follow other municipalities in allowing developers to basically have
:their way.
Approving this plan would set a precedence by where all developers in the city
and sphere of influence areas would have more leverage to develop their land
more densely. If this happens in Temecula and surrounding cities this valley will
just be one more congested, polluted, crime ridden municipality that people want
to get out of.
I request the Temecula City Planning Commission limit this development to
what is shown on the Temecula Land Use Plan. This plan still allows the
owners to make a lot of money while allowing semi-reasonable growth. Mr.
Johnson will not be living in this area, the developing consultant will not be living
in this area. After they take their money and run, Temecula will have this
forever.
Temecula's motto is "Old traditions, new opportunities". Sticking to the
Temecula Land Use Plan helps to keep this alive, the Johnson plan will not.

Dear Commissioners;
On Monday, Jan. 9, 95 I artended the Planning meeting held at the
Water Districts Board Room. Although it was my intention to address
the Board , I found myserf~unable to after two and a half hours of
being tomharder with facts and figures from the Johnson Ranch people.
As the plan now is written, we are against it. Three years ago we
bought our land, built our home and in Nov. of '92 moved into our
dream home in the country, on our 2% arce lot. We as all of our neighbors
dearly love the peace and quiet we experience in this type of a communit
This is the type of community the Johnson Ranch People should be planning,
not a potential area~withhigh crime and social problems which are
unsolvable.
Whenever a community is built with lots of houses , 'thus people, in
a small area as is now the plat constant social problems will soon
exist. You just can't put that many people in a small area and not
expect to have problems. Why are you considering a plan which will
cause a traffic night-mare, additional work for the police dept., '
distruction~of wildlife and vegetation along the existing creeks
on the Johnson Ranch property. Surly a plan could be developed where
only one house per area would be built. Of course more would be
charged for each home to cover the builders expence. But...
down the line the city of Temecula will be happy tha~ a trouble spot
was not approved in 1995-by the Planning Commission.
We have more concerns about the plan. If any of the Commissioners
would like to speak to us personally, please call. Our number is

LIST OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
JOHNSON RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
PLANNING COMMISSION AND PUBLIC QUESTIONS
Traffic end Circulation
1. What will happen to the existing on-cite Buck Road and what ere the
consequences if It is deleted by this projeot? The existing graded dirt section of Buck
Road, which is located on-site, would be affected in the later stages of the Johnson
Ranch development schedule. Once the project begins to develop its eastern portion,
the existing north-south segment of Buck Road would be eliminated. New street "A"
will cormcot with Buck Road and would access to Butterfield Stage Road and points
west. The eliminated north-south segment of Buck Road would be replaced by new
on-site street 'C" and street "D". Circulation will be improved by these Changes.
2. What are the traffic counts on Ante Road with the project end has the traffic
study examined the traffic impcots of the project with end without Ante Road? The
Specific Plan EIR Traffic Study includes a detailed analysis of traffic conditions without
the extension of Ante Road to the project. Wilbur Smith Associates has also
examined future area buildout traffic conditions with the Anza Road extension. Based
on traffic projections developed for buildout of the City of Temeeula General Plan,
traffic volumes on Anza Road would range from 7,000 vehicles per day north of Buck
Road to 4,000 vehicles per day south of Buck Road. It is estimated that
al~proximately 75 percent of the Anza Road traffic north of Buck Road and 60 percent
of the Anza Road traffic south of Buck was generated by the original Johnson Ranch
Specific Plan assumed in the City's General Plan. North of BuCk Road. new on-sil;~
project roads would ~ffectively serve the traffic oroiected on the eliminated Anza
Impact of the ~urrent Specific Ran (with increased densities) on the portion of
Anza Road south of Buck would be minirqel. since the project traffic using this
segment of Anza Road is predominantly shopping trips traffic traveling between the
residential areas south of Buck end the project commercial center. While this traffic
may increase slightly due to the increased size of the currently-proposed commercial
center, the factor which has the most influence on how many shopping trips would
come from the vineyard residential ares is the number of residences forecasted in that
area. Since the planned vineyard areas denshies have not changed, the only increase
in traffic would be due to the project's proposal to provide more commercial use than
was assumed in the City's General Plan. It is estimated that This impact would be a
net increase in traffic of approximately 15 percent, or 600 vehicles per day. The total
project-related traffic would be approximately 3,000 vehiclos per day. Without Anza
Road, approximately 95 percent of the traffic (2,850 vehicles per day) are shifted to
01-26-95 9012-90002
c:U)0C\t72',gS010025.QUE
Butterfield Stage Road. The traffic study indicates that the additional increment of
traffic could be accommodated by Butterfield Stage Road and still maintain an
acceptable level of service.
3. What other roads in Temeoula will have 30,000 daily tripe that is projected for
Butterfield Stage Road? Examples of other roads in Temecula which have volumes
approaching 30,000 vehicles per day include:
Rancho California Road east of Ynez (28,270 vehicles per day): and
Ynez Road between Winchester Road and Rancho California Road
(25, 1 O0 to 25,400 vehicles per day).
The segments of Rancho California Road end Winchester Road between Front
Street/Jefferson Avenue and Ynez Road carry higher volumes, ranging from 35,000
to 46,000 vehicles per day.
4. How will ~e Johnson Ranch residents access the freeways? Johnson Ranch
realdents will have a choice of access routes to the area freeways as follows:
1-215 to and from the north -- residents would use Murrieta Hot Springs
Road, Winchester Road (north), Clinton Keith Road and Winchester Road~
I-15 to and from the north -- residents would use Murrista Hot Springs
Road end Winchester Road;
I-15 to and tram the south - residents would use Winchester Road and,
to a lesser degree, Rancho California Road once Butterfield Stage Road
is completed.
ii. Whet other road improvements are scheduled ~at might help the flow of the
. traffic from Johnson Ranch to the freeways? Will there be a potential for bottle
neoka? If yes, identify them. Programmed and planned roadway improvements along
routes providing access to the freeways include:
Widening of Murrieta Hot Springs Road between I-15 ancl Murrleta Drive;
Construction of Murrieta Hot Springs Road from its current eastern
terminus to the Johnson Ranch project;
Widening of Winchester Road from Mergerite Road to Clinton Keith Road;
Widening of Clinton Keith Road|
01-26-g6 9032 -00002
$: ~:)0C\172~9S010026 .QUE 2
Construction of Butterfield Stage Road form the project to Rancho
California Road; and
Widening and extension of Nicelea Road,
These roadway improvements ere programmed through various means, including area
assessment districts, City of Temecula Capital Improvement Program, Riverside
County Road end Bridge Fee Program, City of Murrieta, Riverside County
Transportation Commission and developer conditions of approval.
The only segment of road which is not currently programmed for improvement
ie Murrieta Hot Springs Road between Murrieta Drive and Winchester Road. The
project mitigation monitoring program for traffic will essentially "track" prevailing off-
site traffic conditions and the incremental project traffic impacts as the project
develops out. This monitoring program, which would include periodic traffic studies,
would ensure that future phases of the project are not approved until it can be
demonstrated that the cumulative off-site traffic impacts can be mitigated to
acceptable levels,
6. Who wig ultimately determine the final alignment of Murrieta Hot Springs Road
and Butterfield Stage Road? Is It appropriate to determine this alignment pdor to the
approval of the Specific Plan? The currant alignment of Murrieta Hot Springs Road
and Butterfield Stage Road depicted in the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan is consistent
with the CiW's Circulation Element and the County's Southwest Area Plan. The actual
and final alignment of Murriete Hot Springs Road and Butterfield Stage Road may be
affected by the existence of the Skunk Hollow vernal pool and watershed off-site and
will be determined in connection with more detailed planning and entitlement of the
Rancho Bells Vista and Roripaugh properties. Currently, the County is conducting a
hydrology study of the Skunk Hollow vernal pool. This study end the input of the
State and Federal resource agencies will also help determine :he final alignment of the
intersection. In addition, the EIR proposes mitigation measures to ensure that the
roads and associated drainage facilities are designed so as not to negatively impact
the Skunk Hollow vernal pool (See Response to Question No. 14 below). The
Specific Plan requires that final determination of the roadway alignments on-site shall
occur at the time of tentative map approval, based on the determination of the off-site
alignment through the process described above. (See Mitigation Measure J.8.)
7. Will the right-of-way for Butterfield Stage Road be increased if It becomes the
new alignment of Highway 79? Although there are some preliminary ideas concerning
the typical roadway cross-aeation and right-of-way, Caltrans previously indicated that
the actual right-of-way would be dictated by the traffic projections developed by
WRCOG. Based on the traffic forecasting experience in the southwestern area of
Riverside County, the re-designation of Highway 79 to Butterfield Stage Road should
01-26,96 90]2-00002
S:%DOC\172~gGOlOO~5.QUE
have no measurable impact on Traffic routing. Unless significant changes in land use
densities occur in the Temecula Valley vineyard area, it is not expected that ares
buildout traffic forecasts for Butterfield Stage Road would increase.
8. Who will be responsible to build the off-site extension of Anza Road to Ranthe
California Road if the dayripper builds the on-sits portion, or its equivalent? The off-
site portion of Anza Road would have to be built by either the vineyard area
landowners or Riverside County.
9. Will there be additional traffic impacts associated with the project if the Vglage
Center was one of the lest areas to be built within the Specific Plan? If yes, has the
Traffio Study axemined Ibis scenario? Since the Village Center will be an attractor of
vehicle shopping trips which ere generated by area residents, the absence of the
commercial center would affect the way in which the residential shopping trips are
distributed. Shopping trips generated by project residents would re-distribute to other
commercial centers in the ares. To the degree that these radirecTed shopping trips are
made to and from the residence and are not peas-by shopping trips, there could be a
moderate increase in off-site project-related traffic. Conversely, the absence of the
commercial center would also reduce the number of non-project resident shopping
trips which are being attracted to the Johnson Ranch project. This would ectuafiy
reduce some of the project-related off-site impacts. it should be noted that the
commercial center is estimated to generete approximately I O, 1 O0 vehicle trips, which
is approximately 16 peruant of the total project tips. Further, the on-going traffic
monitoring program required by Mitigation Measure F.6 will ensure that current
conditions are monitored and, if necessary, mitigated.
10. Will this project make off-she Improvements to Buck Road? Other than the
planned connection of project street "A" to existing Buck Road, no other off-site
improvements to this road will be made, According to contacts made with Riverside
County Road Department staff, Riverside County Service Area 149 is responsible for
mmntenance and improvements to the off-site portion of Buck Road east of the
project. These current improvement priorities include Calls Centshide and Pauba
Road. No improvements are scheduled for Buck Road at this time.
11. Do the tripe on Nicolee Road include the trips generated by the High School?
What is the ultimate width of Nicolaa Rosd end what potion of it will be bugt by
Johnson Ranch? Who will be responsible to improve the remaining portion and how
will it be paid for? The General Plan circulation study assigned trips on Nicolas Road
assuming business park/commercial land uses for the high school site, which are in
fact greater than the trips generated by the Cheparral High School. Nicelee Road is
programmed as an arterial highway. Public Works Condition No. 14 provides that
Johnson Ranch will be responsible for improvemum of two lanes from Joseph Road
to Butterfield Stage Road, The remaining portions will be improved by ADIGI, as
adjacent lands are developed, or by other significant, contributing projects.

12. Who will be responsible to pay for infraslmcture improvements? Will
assessment districts be formed requiring property owners outside the Johnson Ranch
project to pay for them Improvements? Infrastructure improvements required to serve
dqe Specific Plan ares will be phased to ensure they ere Constructed on a timely basis
and in affordable increments. Many ofthe off-she improvements and Butterfield Stage
Road provide regional benefits and may be constructed in connection with the
development of other property. Land-secured, public financing districts, City fee
programs, fee reimbursement districts and other elmliar programs will be considered
as ultimate financing sources for these improvements to ensure that new development
pays its fair share of the cost of ~e improvements. Existing residents should not be
required to participate in the cost of infrastructure improvements from which they
derive no benefit. Moreover, the project's mitigation measures and conditions of
approval ensure that development will not proceed at Johnson Ranch if the necessary
infrastructure is not in place. (See Planning Department Condition Nee. 19, as
modified, Public Works Condition Nee. 3, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, all as modified.)
Biological Resouroes
13. What was the reason for rejection of the Biologically Superior Alternative in the
DEIR and what are the similarities and differences between the proposed project Land
Use Plan and this altemalive? What was achieved in term8 of pre~erving the sanehive
biological resources by the proposed Land Use Plan? According to page V-35 of the
Draft EIR, the Biological Open Space Alternative was found to be "environmentally
superior" to the original project proposal analyzed in the Draft EIR. However, it was
rejected due to the reduction in the number and types of dwelling units proposed as
compared to the original project proposal. This Alternative contains · total of 1,601
acres of open space as compared to the 252 acres of open space within the originally
proposed project (an increase o11,349 acres). This Afternative was intended to
preserve all sensitive biological resources found on-site 'thereby reducing all biological
impacts to an insignificant level. The "revised" land use plan,, that being the curren~
project proposal, contains a total of 442.5 acres of open space, an increase of 190.5
acres from the 252 acres associated with the original project proposal. This additional
open space was provided along the eastern and northeastern project boundaries with
the intent of providing a land use buffer and transition area separating more urban
uses within the proposed project with open space areas to the ease and northeast of
the site. While this open space total does not equal that found within the Biological
Open Space Alternative, the current project proposal provides a continuous band of
open space along the southern, eastern and northern project boundaries, something
no found in the Biological Open Space Alternative. This continuous buffer along the
perimeter of Johnson Ranch will also provide a valuable open space linkage/corridor
to the Lake Skinner and Domenigoni Reservoir open space areas to The northeast of
the site. The continuous corridor associated wiffi the current project proposal extends
through ~e site linking these open space areas to the Santa Gertrudis Creek open
space corridor along the southern project boundary.

14. How will the drainage from the residential areas, parks, roads end construction
estivttlee be directed away from Skunk Hollow? Only a small portion of the Specific
Plan area is within the Skunk Hollow watershed. Protection of the watershed is
ensured thrcugh the mitigation measures, cond:tionS of approval and federal
regulations. {See Response to Question 1%1o. 23 below, Public Works Condition No.
2 and 36, and Mitigation Measures G.1.2 end G.1.4.) In particular, the following
design and construction measures have been or will be taken:
No residential units or developed parks are proposed within any drainage
area tributary to Skunk Hollow. All proposed residential areas and
developed parks naturally drain away from that basin.
The drainage from the road system will be conveyed within the street
system and outlet Into natural or improved drainage ways that drain
away from Skunk Hollow.
Temporary construction activities will incorporate diversion dikes to keep
urban runoff away from Skunk Hollow.
15. How does the Specific Plan ensure that the biological resources within Ranning
Areas 3a, 3b end 3c are protected? Within Planning Area 3, land disturbance is
permitted only within building areas and for access is and is prohibited outside those
areas. Site design would be conducted in accordance with City-approved
environmental constraint sheets, which would specify the location of driveways and
building sites. This condition would be enforced in connection with the review,
issuance and inspection of building and grading permits, In addition, a dead restriction
would be imposed for the bene~ of, or conserveZion easements would be granted to
the City or a resource agency over that portion of any lot in which building was
prohibited. This mechanism would further encumber the lot and put the benefittinS
agency in the enforcement position. Deed restrictions ere commonly used by the
California Coastal Commi~4ion in similar situations, while conservation easements are
the mechanism of choice for the U.S. FIsh and Wildlife Service and the Department
of Fish and Game. In addition, by permitting clustering on 1-acre minimum lots, the
20 dwelling units permitted within Planning Area 3 would help preserve · large,
contiguous open space area, if the City so desires. (See Mitigation Measures B.7 and
J.6.}
16, Whet Is the approved alignment of the Metropolitan Water Distrlct's Pipeline No,
87 Does this alignment go through the sensitive open space areas? MWD is
conducting design studies in conjunction with Johnson Ranch to place Pipeline No. 6
in such a manner ae to achieve its objectives with minimal disturbance to the property.
MWD & Johnson Machinery have agreed to a corridor bisecting the eastern portion
of the property within which and, subject to further study, the pipeline would
ultimately be placed. MWD's project is subject to CEQA requirements related to the

S: %/)0C%172~95010025 .IXE 6
assessment or impact to sensitive areas and the provision of adequate mitigation
measures. An MWD representative will be present at the February 6, 1995 hearing
to describe their activities.
17, Will the developer be allowed to mess grade the site prior to receiving all
approvals from California Deparlmerrt of Fish and Game, end the U .$, Fish and Wildlife
Service? Mass grading of all development areas within the Specific Plan at one time
is not anticipated. To the extent the approvaJs of the California Department of Fish
and Game and U .S. Fish and Wildlife Service are required I}dor to the initiation of mass
grading within any portion of the development areas, the Developer will have To
receive ~ose approvals prior to initiating grading. (See Planning Deparb.ent Condition
No. 27, Public Work~ Cu-ditiu, Nu. 2, Mitigation Measures J. I, J.Z one J.;:lJ
Open SDBCe
18. Will access be limited and/or restricted to the open space areas and Santa
Gertrudis Creek? How will tmib be designed In these sensitive open space areas?
The nature and extent of public access TO Banning Area 1, including the Seats
Gertrudis Creek area, will be determined through a consultation process among the
Ci~, RCHCA and the State and Federal resource agencies. Presumably, public access
will be permitted in the manner it is allowed in the Lake Skinner Preserve. It should
be noted that the EIR proposes a mitigation measure to create a 100-foot development
setback from the streambed edge or riporion vegetation, whichever creates a larger
corridor, in which trails and service roads would be prohibited. In addition, the
setback area would be bordered by restrictive fence or vegetative barriers within
Planning Area 1 to prevent excessive human intrusion. Outside of the leO-foot
development setba;k, but still w~thin Planning Area 1, trails and passive use areas
could be provided. {See Mitigation Measures J.5, J.6, J.9 and K.1.)
19. Will placing public perks next to the open space areas encourage more eggass
to sensitive areas wHhin the open space? Possibly, but see response to Question No.
18 above.
20. How will the grading of the project site impact the integrity of the open space
areas? The 442.5 acres of open space within the current project proposal will not be
subject to any grading or landform alteration. In addition, fuel management zones will
be provided along the developed edges of the project in which no structures are
allowed or significant grading required. These zones will further buffer project grading
from adjacent open space areas.
21. How wig the elopes adjacent to the open space areas be protected and are there
areas with possibility of landslides? Any slopes adjacent to the open space area will
be contour graded to meet existing ground. The slopes will be planted and irrigated
as necessary in order to revegetate the disturbed areas. There are areas where there
is s possibility of land slides. There are areas in southeast facing cut slopes that may
01-Z6-~, ~19-000~2
$,: ~J;OC\~,7;\9501002S. QUE 7
expose unsupported bedding. In those instances, buttresses may be required.
Detailed, site specific soil reports will identify questionable areas. (See Mitigation
Measures B. 1 through B.8).
22. VVhat will the tenddon ames between the open epaoe area and the residential
areas look like? The Specific Plan provides standards for the transition areas which
would permit walls, view fences, single loaded streets, parks end landscaped "wet"
edges, fuel modification zones and trails. (See Specific Ran pp. 2-22, and Figures 14
and 15.)
23. Why does the Specffic Plan permit the developer to possibly convert the open
space area at the souffiwest comer of the site to residential use? The open space
area at the southwest corner of tl~e site may be within the watershed of The Skunk
Hollow vernal pool. Development of this area for residential use would only be
permitted if a mitigation plan were approved by the responsible agencies which
prevents impacts form the project on the Skunk Hollow vernal pool watershed and the
on-site vernal pools and if an acceptable open space linkage were provided ~rough
the area. (See Specific Plan p. 2-7.)
24, How will the fencing In the perimeter of the project end next to the open apace
area be handled? See response to Question No. 22 above. In addition, the Specific
Plan provides standards for wells and fences (see pp, 2-57 to 2-59) and the
Conditions of Approval require the submittal of fence plans with each tentative map
consistent with the Specific Plan guidelines (see Planning Department Condition No.
14.)
26, Who le respormlble to build the trails end necessary fences within 1he open
space ereas? Will the developer be responsible to make these improvements if the
open space area has already been dedicated to RCHCA? What will ~eee fenced ereas
look like? The developer will construct trails within the open space area end any
fences or vegetative barriers required through the consultation process described
earlier with respect to the uses permitted within Planning Area 1. The nature end
appearance of the fenced or vegetative barriers will also be determined during that
consultation process. (See Planning Department Condition No. 8, and Mitigation
Measures J.5 and J.9.)
26, How wide is the open epaoe along The eastern boundary? The buffer ranges
from 400 feet to approximately 3,000 feet. It should be noted that as originally
submitted, the project included 5-acre lots in the area now proposed for open space
with no provision for open apace preservation or trails.
27. What is the blologioal eignl~canoe of the open space area? the currently
Drapesad Johnson Ranch Specific Plan provides for a total of 442.5 acres of open
space. These open sDace areas include open space resources within the Sante
Gertrudis Creek open space corridor which contains significant Cottonwood/Willow
01.26-95 R12.DO002
5:~0C\172\9~010025 .QiJE 8
Riparian habitats. The biologically significant Riversidean Sage Scrub habitats within
the northeast corner of the project site are also included in areas designated for open
space use. In addition, Riversidean Sage scrub habitats within the northwest corner
of the srte are located in areas proposed for Estate lot development at 0.2 dwelling
units per acre (five acre lots). Mitigation Measure 6 on page 32 of ~a Mitigation
Monitoring Program requires avoidance of these biologically significant areas. As
previously stated, the project praisesol provides a conlinuous band of open space
along the southern, eastern and northern project boundaries. This continuous open
space buffer will provide a valuable open space linkage/corridor to the Lake Skinner
and Domenigoni Reservoir open space areas to the northeast of the site, This
continuous corridor through the site also provides an open space link to the Santa
Gertrudis Creek open space corridor along the southern project boundary.
28. Will the open apace provide a fire hazard for The surrounding axisling homes and
the proposed homes within Johnson Ranch? The Specific Plan (p. 2-8) and MItigation
Measure 0.2.4 require the approval of a Fire Management Plan by the Fire Marshall
prior to approval of any implementing subdivision mop adjacent to open space. The
Plan will describe the precise design, among other things, of a 100-foot fuel
modification zone within adjacent open space.
29. How will the City ensure that the open space area will not be vandalized and
destroyed by people? It is anticipated that the RCHCA will manage and maintain the
open space within Planning Area 1 in a manner similar to the Lake Skinner preserve.
RCHCA, therefore, will be responsible for enforcing use restrictions within the Planning
Area and preventing vandalism and repairing areas that may be destroyed by
vandalism. Prior to dedication of the area, the landowner shall be responsible for
weed abatement and litter removal. In add!Uon, the Developer has proposed adding
to the conditions of approval the requirement that the Open Space Mitigation Plan
includes provisions to prevent unauthorized public access to Planning Area I prior tO
dedication. (Sea Fqanning Department Conditions 28 and 33, as modified.)
30. Who will maintain the open apace area and who will pay for this maintenanoe?
See response to Question No. 29.

31. Will there be any noise impacts from the French Valley Airport on the future
residents of the project? No, The closest portion of the project is nearly 1-1/2 miles
from the 55 CNEL ((Marginal Impact) Noise ConTour. See At'~lchment 1 hereto.
32. le the Roripaugh Specific Ran cite under Williamson Act contract? A Notice of
Nonrenewal of the Williamson Act contract on the Roripeugh property was filed in
1987. (See Draft EIR, pp. IV-133-137.)

33. How far is the nearest on-site school from the French Valley Airport? The
nearest proposed school site is over 2 miles from the French Valley Airport. (See
Attachment 1 hereto.)
34. Will there be adequate fire protection once the project is built7 The French
Valley Fire Station is almost completed. It will serve Johnson Ranch end satisfy the
City's level of service standards for fire service to the Project. The draft EIR
suggested that if the French Valley FIre Station were not constructed, s fire station
would be required within the Specific Plan Area. The Fiscal Impact Report identifies
a positive ann ual cash flow from each residential dwelling unit taking into account fire
service costs. In addition, the project will be required To pay the exlming fire
mitigation fee of $400 per residential unit and 80.25 per square foot of commercial
development. Staff's recommendation that Still additional fees should be provided by
the project is contrary to these facts. (See Fiscal impact Report, and Mitigation
Measure 0.2.1, 0.2.5.,)
36. Has the project bean reviewed and approved by the Santa Margadta Watershed
Authority? The Santa Margarita Watershed Authority has no approval authority over
the Johnson Ranch Specific Plan property. Development of the project will be subject
to federal stormwater discharge regulations, impacts to "waters of the U.S.' will be
regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and impacts to streams will
required s 1603 Agreement with The California Department of Fish and Game.
36. Will The project be required to enter into an agreement with the school dimHct
prior to the approval of the Specific Ran by the Planning Commission? The draft FIR
identified a mitigation measure for the Project's school facilities impacts requiring a
mitigation agreement between the developer and school district before recordation of
the Project's firm map. This mitigation measure absolutely ensures that the Project
will comply with any school mitigation resolution ultimately adopted by the City
Council and is identical to that imposed by the City Council recently on the Campas
Vetdes Specific Plan. At this stage of the entitlemenU process, it Is unnecessary and
unworkable to attempt to enter into a detailed mitigation agreement. By requidng a
school mitigation agreement that coreDlies with the City's school mitigation policies
prior to recordation of the first final map, as recommended in the draft EIR, the City
will ensure that the substance of the school mitigation resolution, in whatever form
it is ultimately adopted by the City Council, will be satisfied prior to any development
whhin The Specific Plan Area. (See Draft EIR, p. IV-168.)

:37. What do the Design Guidelines provide in farms of ~e orientation of the houses
on local streets? The Design Guidelines are part of the Specific Plan end provide
standards such as the following:
a. Front yard setbacks should be varied to crests an interesting street
scene, including the use of front porches.
b. Second story roof plane lines should be setback from first story
elevations to help reduce building mess.
c. Wall planes along the front elevation should be staggered to provide
visual interest along the street scene.
d. One story unite should be paired and situated between two story unil~
to maximize the mass effect on the street scene.
e. Each floor plan should provide varying exterior elevations to provide
interest to the street scene.
f. Neighborhoods should contain both one and two story units to provide
mass relief to the street scene.
h. The treatment of corner lots should incorporate the following:
One story plans or two story plans incorporating a single plate line
toward the exterior side yard.
Garage located adjacent to the interior side yard.
Wall plane adjacent to the exterior side yard as short as possible.
Side and front yard setbacks maximized.
A clear line of si~e across the corner of the lot.
i. Garages which are set back further form the street than adjoining living
areas should be used where possible.
j. Garage doors can be recessed a minimum of 12" from the adjacent walls
to create a strong shadow which minimizes the impact of the door.
k. Two story units should incorporate second story architectural elements
above the garage to reduce the mass of the garage space.

I. Where garages are adjacent to one another a three (3) foot minimum
difference in setbacks should be considered.
Front and side entry garage may be provided in residential
neighborhoods.
n. Variation in roof design shall be utilized to create diversity.
o. Individual units may incorporate more than one roof design.
Extended roof overhangs may be used in conjunction with porches,
balconies and recesses.
38, Who will extend reclaimed mr lines to the project site? WIll the project install
on-site reclaimed water lines? Will reclaimed water be used for parks, parkways and
common area landscaping? Reclaimed water lines will be extended by each deveJoper
as development occurs. The project will install reclaimed water lines If reclaimed
water is or will be available to the project. The use of reclaimed water will depend,
to some extent, on the treatment the effluent receives. Generally, parkways and
common area landscaping can receive reclaimed water.
39. How will the interface of Tucalote Creek with the project made and trails be
handled? Planning Department Condition No. 7 requires that a crosswalk be provided
for the trail along the creek edge. If safety considerations warrant, a warning tiesher
or signal will be provided, as required by the City.
40. How will the uniformity of the deign and timing of the development of Tucalota
Creek be ensured? The design will be coordinated and integrated through preliminary
design of the entire system, and preparation of criteria for its incremental consLruction
on a phased basis. The preliminary design end implementation criteria will be
submitted as part of the first tentative subdivision map that is adjacent to the creek.
{See Specific Plan, p. 2-22, and Figure 13, and Planning Department Condition No. 6.)
41. Will the utility corridors be landscaped or will they be left in their natural state?
MWD will own and maintain two utility corridors which traverse Johnson Ranch,
Trails are permitted within each. Other uses end plant materials are permitted, subject
to MWD Use Guidelines on file with the City.
42, Does the Fire Department allow using wood shakes on roofs? Only roof

43. Why does the General Plan for the Johnson RenGh its include a wide variety
of residential densities, while the project only offers two? The Specific Plan provides
for and encourages the use of multiple denstZlea and product types within each
Planning Area. (See Specific Plan, p. 2-6,) The intent is to create as broad an appeal
to as many segments of the housing market am possible.
44. W311 the residential density or total number of residential units change if the
alignment of Murrlets Hot Spdngs Red and Butterfield Stage Road are different than
that shown on the Specific Plan? Will the developer be required to process a Specific
Plan Amendment ff these alignments are changed substantially? No, the density and
total units will not change. The Specific Plan contains sufficient flexibility to permit
the design and location of both alignments based upon further studies without
requiring a Specific Plan amendment. (See Mitigation Measure J.8.) Further, the
Specific Plan establishes the importance of these linkages as significant regional
connections.
45. Is there a cap on the number of dwelling units or The density In each Planning
Ares? The Specific Plan currently providos that 10% of the total number of dweffing
units within a Planning Ares may be transferred to another Planning Area, We
propose to add a further qualification to the Specific Plan that the overall density of
any Planning Area receiving a transfer of dwelling units shall not exceed 6.0 dwelling
units per acre. (See Specific Plan pp. 2-7.)
46. What ie the maximum density and total area committed to the multi-family units
within the Village Center? Maximum density will not exceed 20 dwelling units per
gross site area. The total area oommitted will be determined at the preliminary design
stage, and is dictated by type of units, nature Of amenities, access to parcels, and
similar factors. A rough estimate would be not more than 15 acres.
47, What is the density of Planning Area 3 and what is the maximum number of
unite allowed by the Specffie Plan? A maximum of 20 clwelling units is permitted
within Planning Area 3. The 20 dwelling units may be clustered on 1 -acre minimum
lots which would result in · preservation of a contiguous open space area
encompassing the remaining portion of Planning Area 3. {See response to Question
No, 15.)
48. WIll the improved Tucalota drainage channel be fenced? The Tucalota open
space corridor concept is depicted on page 2-20 of the Specific Plan, It is not
anticipated that fencing would be provided between the parkway and channel.
49. Is it appropriate to allow urbanizelion to continue in the French Valley area away
from HIghway 79, or is it more appropriate to be developed as a narel area with 2.5
to 5 acre Iota? The County General Plan (SWAP) and the City General Plan both
clearly contemplate urbanizeUon in the French Valley area and provide for its
realization through processes such as the John Ranch Specific Plan.

60. How many dwelling units will be allowed for the Johnson Ranch site under the
current General Plan and SWAP? Under the SWAP, 1,942 single-family resident]el
units are permitted for the property, The current General Plan also permits a total of
1,942 residential dwelling units. As Mr. Thornhill indicated to the Planning
Commission st the January 9, 1996 hearing, at the time of adoption of the City's
General Plan, the City Council directed Johnson Machinery to seek a General Plan
amendment and prepare 8 Specific Plan for the property in order to increase the
permitted number of dwelling units and allow for analysis of and improvements to the
specific traffic circulation system arising from any increase in the number of dwelling
unite.
51. Are any equestrian trails proposed? How wlU this project connect to the
regional 1rail system? Yes.
52. Can the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council to prohibit
banners and pennants within the Village Center? Yes.
53. Is the Phasing Plan flexible? Who has the authority to make changes to it? The
Specific Ran Lend Use Phasing Plan is included in Section 2.8 of the Specific Plan and
depicted on Figure 32. The timing and order of development of the phases may
change to respond to market conditions. The specific infrastructure reclulrements
associated with each phase will be developed as tentative subdivision maps are
processed within each phase and conditions for specific infrastructure requirements
will be imposed as conditions of tentative subdivision maps. The Phasing Plan is
intended to be conceptual in nature and, therefore, flexible, in order to respond to
market opportunities. The infrastructure requiremenus associated with development
of any ares within the Specific Plan will be fixed as subdivision maps are processed.

· 54. What is the explanelion of the difference between the taxable sales under
Alternative A and B? The Fiscal Impact Report analyzed two alternative assumptions
for the Specific Plan Area. Alternative A assumed annexation into the City of
Temecula and development in accordance with the proposed Specific Plan.
Alternative B assumed development of the property in unincorporated Riverside
County in accordance with the SWAP. Under Alternative A ("with annexation'), the
Project showed a positive cash flow to the City. Under Alternative B ("without
annexation"), the City would gain sales tax revenues from purchases by Johnson
Ranch residents in City stores. The Project would have a moderately negative fiscal
impact on the County under Alternative A and B arising largely from the Staro's recent
transfer of property taxes from the County to the public schools.
