1994 as a Minor Conditional Use Fr~,,At for the sale of beer and wine in an existing building. A
DevalopD3ent Review Commi~ee (DRC) meetin_g was bald on Decelnber 22, .1994. The applicant did not
aUend this meeting. Subsequemt to the DRC meeting, the applicant requested that the spplication be put
on hold for several months because they were uncertain as to whether they wanted to use the existing
building or demolish it and pUt Up a new one. Staff was contacted several times during those months
regarding the projea. Subsequently, the applicant decided to demolish the existing building and replace
it with a new one. A pre-applica~on meetinE was held on June 12, 1995 to review the new design and
scope of the project. The application changed from a Minor to a full Conditional Use P=~mlt because
of the exun= of the improvem=uia. A DRC mseting was held on June 29, 1995. plsnnin_~ Application
No. 94-0128 was deemed complete on July 7, 1995.
PROjECT DESCRIFrION
The projea is a proposal for a gas station and convenience man with concurrent sale of beer. The new
building will be moved closer to the southeasterll comer of the lot than the existing building. The
applicant has provided deUiiled informntion regerding the operation of the project. This has been included
as An-~hment No. 3,
ANALYSIS
The architecture for the building is similar to buildings in vicinity of this project. The building will have
an off-white and tan stucco exterior, with tiles at the base and front of the building. The roof will be
Spanish clay tile (Tetra cotta color). The canopy will have the same roof tiles.
A~ea Compatibfiity
The project is located at the intersection of Front S,rect and Rancho California Roed. While the project
site is not located within the buundades of the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan, it is considered to be
a "galway' to the Old Town area. With this taken into consideration, the applicant's ultimate design
for the project will be compatible with the Old Town theme. The project is consistent in terms of
m~ariais with the surrounding development.
The projea au-romly has five (5) curb c~m on ~he alt~. Based upon direaion from the Public Works
Dephh.em, the =ppli~nt w~l el'm~nste two (2) of the curb cuts. Two curb cuts along Moreao Road
will be combined into one. One of the curb cuts on Front Street will be elimin~,~. The curb cm on

The traffic analysis prepared for the project exnmlned impacts from the project to the intersections of
From Street rout Rancho California Road wnd From Street ,n~ Moreno Road. The report conchdora that
impacts to these intersections st peak hourm are leas than 5 percent. The Department of Public Workm
Depaxi,,,,~t has reviewed the analySiS and conairs with CO~USiOBS COatsins] in the allldysis. COI]ditiOns
of approval have been sddad to the project to mi~gste any impacts from the project.
Rivht-of-W~y Dedications
The projea has been conditioned for an additional four (4) feet of right-of-way along From Street
(adjacent to the project) and twelve (12) feet of rig.h.t-of-way along Ranrio California Road (adjacent to
the project). The four feet of additional right-of-way on From Street will be used for a proposed right
turn lane east bound from From Street to Rsncho California Road. RnnehO CaHforllia Road il idolRifled
as an Urban Arfzrial Highway (6 lanes - 134 foot right-of-way) in the Cwmenl Plan. The ~rltiitional
dedication will bring Rardlo California Road up to General Plan standards.
Liquor Licenses
St,t~ law regardlUg the issuance of liquor licenses changed effective Jauusry 1, 1995. The City Attorney
has infornzd Staff that all applications for a beer and wine license must go to City Council for approval,
unless the Council delegates this authority.
Staff is taking a report to the City Council on July 25, 1995 requesting direction as to who is able to
approve beer and wine licenses (i.e. staff, planning Commission, City Council).
Correspondence Received'
Staff has received one letter in opposition to the projea and has included this as Auachment No. 4.
EXIt-riNG ZONING AND GEI~F_.KAL PLAN DESIGNATION

Ordinance No. 348 with the approval of a Plot Plan. A conditional use permit is required for gasoline
service stations with concurrent sale Of beer and wine for off-premi.,.es consumption. The General Plan

Dear Mr. Fagan:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within the
boundaries of Rancho California Water District CRCWD/District). Water
service, therefore, would be available upon completion of financial
arrangements between RCWD and the property owner.
Water availability would be contingent upon the property owner signing an

We have reviewed the materials transmitted by your office which
describe the subject project. Our comments are outlined below:
General
It is our understanding the subject project is a proposed
conversion of an existing service station (Unocal), located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of Rancho California Road and
Front Street, to a foodmart - eliminating three existing service
bays while retaining gasoline sales.
The subject project is located within the District's sanitary sewer
service area. However, it must be understood the available service
capabilities of the District's systems are continually changing due
to the occurrence of development within the District and programs
of systems improvement. As such, the provision of service will be
based on the detailed plan of sereice requirements, the timing of
the subject project, the status of the District's permit to
operate, and the service agreement between the District and the
developer of the subject project.
Sanitary Sewer
The subject project is considered tributary to the District's
Temecula Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility (TVRWRF).
The nearest existing TVRWRF system sanitary sewer facilities to the
subject project are as follows:
8-inch diameter gravity-flow sewer pipeline aligned along
Moreno Road, fronting the subject project on the south.

Gary Thornhill, Community Development Director
July 17, 1995
Draft Development Code
Prepared by:
John Meyer, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission review the draft
Development Code, take public testimony, and direct staff to
make any modifications in order to make a recommendation of
approval to the City Council.
INTRODUCTION
On March 20, 1995, the Planning Commission began the Public Hearing Process for the
Temecula Development Code. The Development Code is the primary instrument for
implementing the General Plan. Temecula's General Plan is a 20-year plan, while the
Development Code and the Zoning Map respond to shorter-term needs and conditions. Each
of the residential, commercial, business park, and other land use designations are detailed by
land use zones which specify permitted uses, conditional uses, and development standards
for each zone.
At the June 19, 1995 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed and
commented on the following chapters of the Code:
Chapter 9.16
Chapter 9.18
Chapter 9.20
Chapter 9.22
Chapter 9.24
Chapter 9.26
Specific Plan Overlay District
Village Center Overlay District

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AMENDMENT AND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP
As part of the work program to adopt the Development Code, the City is conducting a
citywide consistency zoning effort. The purpose of this effort is to amend the zoning from the
interim County Districts to City Districts. This is fairly straightforward because almost every
General Plan Land Use Designation will be implemented by a single zoning district. The three
exceptions are the Low Residential, Business Park and Open Space designations.
Staff is asking the Commission to familiarize themselves with the Zoning Map to facilitate
discussions during the public hearing. It may be helpful to compare it with the Land Use Plan
from the General Plan. Consistent with procedures used during the General Plan Process,
property owners dissatisfied with the district applied to their property have been encouraged
to submit a written request to staff. Each request is numerically keyed on an accompanying
exhibit.
In addition to the consistency zoning effort, staff is also be processing a City-sponsored
General Plan Amendment (GPA). The proposed amendment would modify land use
designations determined to be inappropriate subsequent to the adoption of the Plan in
November, 1993 and to accommodate the requested changes to the zoning map. The
majority of these proposed changes will result in land uses more relevant with the existing
uses or buildings.
Proposed General Plan Land Use Amendments
Staff has received several requests from property owners to amend the land use designation
on their property. To facilitate the review of these requests, staff has developed the attached
GPA Parcel Specific Land Use Request Matrix. The matrix contains, a location or parcel
number, the existing land use designation, the requested land use designation, and a staff
recommendation and response. Each request is numerically keyed on an accompanying
exhibit. The applicants' letters of request, stating their positions have also been attached and
numbered for the Commission's review.
Staff recommends the Commission review the requests in geographical groupings, in order to
consider the requests in context of an area, as well as on their individual merits. To facilitate
this, staff has divided the requests into 4 area groups. The following table indicates in which
group the individual requests are located:
GROUP LOCATION
I Westside of I-15
II Hwy 79 South
Ill Winchester
IV Pauba
1,2,3,4,5,6and8

9 and 10
11
Zoning Districts
As mentioned above, the General Plan land use designations will for the most part, be
implemented by a single zoning district. The exceptions to this are the Low Residential,
Business Park and Open Space Designations. These will be implemented by two or more
zoning districts.
The Low Density land use designation will be implemented by the L-1 (40,O00sq. ft. minimum
lot size) and L-2 (20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) zoning districts as described in the
Development Code.
The Business Park land use designation will be implemented by the Light Industrial and
Business Park Zoning Districts. The application of these to zoning districts to the former
County MSC zoned areas has received much scrutiny. Through workshops and meeting with
various interest groups, staff feels most of the issues have been resolved. this occurred
through some of the Land Use Amendments proposed above and changes to the schedule of
permitted uses previously reviewed by the Planning Commission.
The Open Space land use designation will be implemented by the Open Space (passive
recreation), Parks and Recreation (active recreation) and Conservation (preservation of natural
sites) Districts as described in the Development Code.
CONCLUSION
To meet minimum noticing requirements the General Plan Amendments and Zoning
Consistency was advertised for both July 17, 1995 and August 21, 1995. As a result the
Commission will need to accept public testimony at both meetings.

CONSISTENCY REZONING
Dear John:
Thank you for the time you spent in the Consistency Rezoning :
Workshops. You did an excellent job in explaining the City's
position and the process you are going through to accomplish the
rezoning. We are writing you in response to your encouragement
to document any problems we envision in the development and sale
of our properties as a result of the rezoning.
We would first like to comment on the rezoning in general and
then make specific zoning requests for properties owned by
Kemper.
MSC vs. 8C
The MSC zoning is particularly well-suited to our industrial
subdivisions with lots averaging one to two acres in size. The
typical buyer is a user with a small business who is tired of
paying rent and wants to own his o~ facility. By disallowing
any manufacturing in these parks, the City has taken this option
away from the small businessman. He will now only be able to
locate his business in areas designated BP or LI and these are
typically areas with lot sizes of five acres and greater.
Other important users in our small lot industrial subdivisions
are small distribution facilities. Under the proposed SC zoning,
these users must go a through long, drawn out CUP process,
requiring a public hearing before the Planning Commission. This
means that our buyer will not know for approximately a three-
month period whether or not he can purchase a given piece of
property. Many business owners may look for property outside of
Temecula rather than face this delay.
Mr. John R. Meyer, AICP
CITY OF TEMECULA
June 10, 1994 - Page 2
I
IIIdl Idl--~'ijI''11 I
I I
The flexibility of the MSC zoning also encouraged small,
entrepreneurial developers to construct speculative multi-purpose
buildings to rent to the small businessman. The restrictions
under the SC zoning will curtail much of this building in the
future, reducing industrial/commercial growth and job creation.
If the SC zoning must replace the MSC zoning, please consider
allowing small, light manufacturing users and staff approval for
small distribution facilities.
BP vs. LI
It would appear that these two zones will be very difficult to
separate and that they should be combined. Those uses that are
definitely unwanted should not be permitted or should require a
conditional use permit. Temecula is appealing to manufacturers
due to low land prices and a sizeable work force with lower wage
requirements. Our industrial job growth in the next 10 years is
most likely to come from manufacturers moving from San Diego,
Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Restrictive zoning and time
delays for processing of CUP's will force these manufacturers to
look at neighboring communities rather than Temecula.
Zonin~ Requested for KemDer Properties
We have listed below all of Kemper's industrial properties and
have keyed them to the attached map. We have indicated the
current zoning, the zoning shown in the General Plan (Consistency.
Zoning) and the zoning requested for each of these properties.
Winchester Meadows
Current Zoning: RR
Consistency Zoning: BP
Requested Zoning: BP/LI
Although a good portion of this park was sold to the School
District for a new high school, it is likely the balance
will be utilized for manufacturing.

This park contains 11 parcels averaging 5 acres in size.
Kemper owns 5 parcels in this park, two of which have
buildings in place. Manufacturers and distributors already
located in this park are: (1) Channel Equipment Corp.,
manufacturers of equipment for the cable TV industry, (2)
Moore Business Forms, distributor of office paper products,
(3) coming soon, Tension Envelope, manufacturers of all
types of envelopes.
Corporate Park / Winchester Hills
Current Zoning: IP
Consistency Zoning: BP
Requested Zoning: BP/LI
Kemper owns 130 acres of freeway frontage, which is
designated as industrial in the Winchester Hills Specific
Plan. This area is the City of Temecula's best area for
attracting large users. We are currently talking to two
users regarding parcels of 20 acres or more in this area.
One user is a hi-tech metal fabricator and the other is a
distributor of food products. Between the two, these users
would create in excess of 300 jobs.
North Jefferson Business Park, Phase 4
Current Zoning: MSC
Consistency Zoning: SC
Requested Zoning: MSC or SC modified to allow some
manufacturing and distribution uses
without a CUP hearing
This park contains 34 parcels averaging one acre in size.
Kemper owns 26 parcels. Current users are a combination of
retail and distribution. For reasons stated under our
discussion of MSC vs. SC, we would like to retain much of
the flexibility of the MSC zone.
North Jefferson Business Park, Phase 3
Current Zoning: MSC
Consistency Zoning: SC
Requested Zoning: MSC or a combination of SC modified as
above and BP/LI
The tentative map for this park contains a mixture of small
lots,averaging one acre in size along with larger lots,
averaging five acres along Murrieta Creek. The zoning,
Mr. John R. Meyer, AICP
CITY OF TEMECULA

I
IIIdlkli~l."lll
! !
therefore, should be service com/nercial along Jefferson
Avenue and manufacturing along Murrieta Creek.
6. Rancho California Business Park, Phases i & 2
Current Zoning: MSC
Consistency Zoning: BP
Requested Zoning: BP/LI
This park contains 24 parcels averaging 5 acres in size.
Kemper owns 7 parcels at the present time,= two of which
contain buildings. The park is occupied by a combination of
office and manufacturing users. The largest users are
International Rectifier, manufacturers of hexfets and
mosfets for the computer industry and Professional Hospital
Supply, manufacturers of various products for the healthcare
industry.
We are also concerned about the Commercial/Industrial Districts
section of the Temecula Development Code which you have drafted
for submission to the Planning Commission. We are currently
comparing this to our existing rights with regard to approved
subdivisions in an effort to assess the impact of these new
standards. The 40% lot coverage for the LI zone is an example of
our concern. This coverage ratio is normally 40% to 50% in most
Southern California jurisdictions and can be even higher in other
states. This makes it even tougher to compete with other areas
for manufacturing users.
After you have had a chance to read our letter and consider our
concerns and requests, I will call you to set up an appointment
to discuss the consistency rezoning in greater detail.
Developing and selling industrial properties is extremely
important to both Kemper and the City. The more we work together
to understand each other's problems, the more unlikely we are to
make mistakes.
Thank you again for your time and patience.

RE: WINCHESTER CORRIDOR ZONE RE-ASSESSMENT
Gentlemen:
I am the owner of Parcel 13 at the Southwest corner of Winchester Road and
Enterprise Circle South.
It has come to my attention that you have proposed general plan Zoning to be BP for
my property and the surrounding area. I request that my property be assigned SC zone
for the following reasons:
1. It conforms with the existing tenant mix and design of my building
2. It aligns with the former zoning in place when I purchased this property and
the use' for which my building was intended
3. It makes sense that SC uses will be desireable along the Winchester corridor
as properties to the West further develop
4. We have MORE THAN sufficient office space in town. (The office portion of
my project is running a 33% vacancy).
Please respond as soon as possible, I have had potential tenants who are compatible
with my current zoning now being "turned down" by City planners. We cannot afford to
lose tenants!

Attention: Mr. John Meyer, Senior Planner
Re: Winchester Corridor Proposed Change
Dear Mr. Meyer:
As the owners of Parcel ~4'on Winchester Road, We strongly object
to any zone change for my property or the surrounding area.
Our property should be in SC ~one for the following reasons:
1. Our vacancy rate at present is 40% with present zoning.
2. We bought the land and built the building for cor~nercial
tenants not for office tenants.
3. Winchester Road is a major artery and should definitely be
zoned SC.
4. Changing zoning would adversely affect even to a greater
degree, our ability to keep our buildings leased.
For the record we will oppose any changes that will inhibit our
abiZity to lease space to tenants for whom the building was
designed. Our building is not a Business Park building and
cannot he altered to meet Business Park tenant requirements.

REz PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL ZONING
Dear John:
I recently artended theworkshop of May 24th regarding the proposed
re-zoning of industrial properties, some of which are located
within the geographic boundaries of Rancho California Business
Center - I Association. Generally speaking, the Association area
includes the parcels locatedwest of Jefferson Avenue to the Santa
Gertrudis channel and thenwesterly to Murrieta Creek and southerly
to approximately Enterprise Circle South as it intersects with
Enterprise Circle West. Our Association includes a total of 26
separate parcels with strict covenants, conditions, and
restrictions.
The owners of property located in our Association are very
concerned that the new zoning will behighly restrictive and result
in an overall depreciation of property values because of inability
to market to industrial type users.
We believe these is an over-emphasis on the Business Park District
designation and a lack of Service-Commercial designation. This is
par'~iculamly true along Winchester Road west of Jefferson Avenue.
As you may know, most of the properties presently developed along
Winchester Road include quasi-retail, office, and service-
commercial type occupants. Many of the current occupants would not
be allowed in the same buildings under the Business Park
designation~ therefore, we are requesting that the City designate
those parcels that do front on Winchester Road as either~_ty-~
C~....~Tctal*~r'~i~~ial~
We are also concerned that a large w~mher of uses would require
Conditional Use Permits. As an example, automobile parts/sales
would require a C.U.P. in the light industrial zone. Unless there
is a very compelling reason, we would highly encourage the City to
allow those type of uses to go forward with a normal application
and payment of the normal fees.

We understand that the precise zoning on each and ever~ parcel is
still up for discussion. As the process moves forward, we would
request that the City keep in mind that we are in a competitive
business with other cities for industrial and commercial users.
Reasonable zoning and development regulations will go a long way
toward ensuring that we remain competitive.
We are available to meet with you and your staff to discuss any
particular properties located within Rancho California Business
Center - I Association.
Thax~k you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Meyer,
Winchester Group is the owner of Parcel 20 of Parcel Map 19582-2.
The address is 41735 Winchester Rd., Temecula, Ca.
The General Plan Land Use Exhibit dated 9/93 shows our property in
the Sub Area #2. and is proposed for "Business Park" zoning district.
The Winchester Group is against the Business Park designation.
We see Winchester Rd. from Jefferson Ave. to Diaz Rd. as a logical
location for "Community Commercial" as you show along Winchester Rd.
on the east side of the 15 frwy. Winchester Rd. is a natural commercial
route and should not be restricted to "Business Park".

Re: Proposed Zoning Changes
Dear 3ohn,
I have artended every city zoning workshop, representing
ownership in commercial buildings all over the CIty of Temecula.
Winchester Group very strongly opposes a zoning change along
Winchester Road to 'Business Park'. Winchester Roa~ is a major
commercial /retai] corridor whtch~ el~uld be zoned 'C~mmunity
Commercial'.
Winchester Group owns Parcel 2e of P.,. 19582-2. The property is
located at 41735 Winchester Rd., Temecula, Ca. This is a 28,096
sg.ft. buildtrig with glass storefronts and great exposure to the
heavy traffic flow along Winchester Rd. This building was
designed for 'showroom' type bust~sses. which be]ong along
Winchester Rd. The parking ratio would never allow converting the
buildinQ to professions] office. Bust~sses locate at Wir~:hester
Rd. for the exposure. Zf they want a large industrial building
they are happy to go off Dtaz Rd. for far less rent.
Along Winchester:Rd.,west of 3elfarson to the MufTieta creek
there are two furniture showrooms, a tire sales and repair shop,
a beauty shop. blue print and supply store, Carpet sales, and
many more commercial / retail type businesses,
Winchester GroUp _l~__hde that you make a change In zoning from
-,.si..ss park' to'To, along ,inchest.r Rd.
from 3effersan-to tft~'f'~r~ur~Y~F'e~: Do this as a change
incorporated along with t~ City of Temecula sponsored General
PZan Amendment that you promised at every meeting I artended with
you. The 'Community Com~rcjal' zoning Nkes much more same.
I have three tenants lined up to lease our empty building which
would account for 8e% occupancy. They are Carpet ~les
(showroom), Furniture Sales (showroom), and Electronics Sales
(showroom). All of these make sense alprio Winchester Rd. and all
of them blouId be denied under the 'Bus~ness Park' zoning!
Ue belong to the Rancho California Business Center -i Association
which includes all the properties along Winchester Rd. All of our

Please understand and act in our favor-for the benfit Of a11.

Re: Proposed Zoning Changes
Dear 3ohn,
Winchester Group very strongly opposes a zoning change aZong
Winchester Road from 3efferson to the Murrieta creek to "Business
Park" proposed by the City Planning staff. We also oppose
planners using the "draft' of the proposal to dictate approvals
and denials of occupancies Tight now!
Winchester Group owns Parcel 20 of P.M. 17582-2. The property is
located at 41735 Winchester Rd,, Temecula, Ca. This is a 28~000
sq.ft. building with glass storefronts and great exposure to the
heavy traffic flow along Winchester Road, The property was built
under MSC zoning rules and to accommodate those types of uses,
To constrict the uses from that zoning substantial]y decreases
the property value, because of the changed requirements in
parking and the confusion in the marketinq, because tenants
withdraw and realtors withdraw from marketing the property. The
parking ratio would never allow converting the building to
professional office. Businesses locate at Winchester Rd. for the
exposure. If they want a large industrial building they are happy
to go off Di'az Rd. for far less rent.
Winchester Group demands that you "grandfather' this property
with Manufacturing Service Commercial zoning that it was built
for, or at the minimum, include this property in the Community
Commercial or Service Commercial designations of the new plan and
provide for a Conditional Use Permit for the remaining uses of
the old MSC designation. The property must be used in the context
for what it was constructed for. It is not to the benefit of the
City of Temecula to damage the values of pT'operty and cause
property owners loss of value on their property. That can impinge
even on the financing of the property. You must also realize that
this area has a strong property owners association that is highly
concerned with the general well being of the surrounding
property. I can vouch for that since we recently had to spend
considerable money to get the property to conform to POA
standards while keeping with the City standards.

re: Draft Development Code Input January

Mr. Mayor, City Councel Members, And Planning Commission,
I Represent Ownership of the Winchester Group whichnowns Parcel 20,
Parcel Map 19582-2, at 41735 Winchester Rd., Temecula which is located
between the Enterprise Circle North Loop. Existing is a 28,000 sq. ft.
commercial building with store front glass and twenty-four foot clear
inside height. The building was built under the old MSC Zoning which
was a mixed use "Manufacturing Service Commercial" designation and
designed for retail showroom type users with Winchester Rd. exposure.
Winchester Group bought the building nearly a year ago and started
marketing the empty building. We have worked with a Carpet Store,
an Electronics Store, and two Furniture Stores which all were denied
~ccupancy under the B.P. development code designation]
"Business Park" designation is the most restrictive in the Draft
Development Code. B.P. limits us to industrial users that do not have
much truck traffic. There is not enough parking to convert to office
space. Industrial users are more concerned with low rent then exposure
on a main highway. Due to the Draft Development Code designation "B.P."
Winchester Group has lost perspective tenants and lower rates to
market to lower rate type uses which is costing Winchester Group a lot
of money. To this day the building remains 100% vacant. We donated the
use of the building for the Business Showcase and 2nd Annual great Auction.
Winchester Group, with the backing of the Business Park Association
demand that you bring about a change in the Development Code designation
from "Business Park" to "Service Commercial" for Winchester Road between
the Enterprise Circle North loop (Enterprise Circle North to Diaz Rd.).
"Service Commercial" is more in line with the existing and requested uses.
Existing uses along Winchester Rd. between Enterprise Circle North and
Diaz Rd. are a Bank, a Sandwich Shop, two Furniture Stores, 2 Computer
Stores, a Tire Shop, a Pet Clinic, a Blue Print Shop, and other commercial
retail type uses.
Please make a change that makes practical sense instead of a radical change
of uses ........ change from B.P. to S.C.

Dear Mr. Mayer and Planning Commission,
I am writing to in the capacity of Owner Representitive for Winchester Group.
Winchester Group owns a 27,940 sq.ft. building at 41735 Winchester Road, Temecula.
The property is located along Winchester Road between the Enterprise Circle loop.
In the last year we have negotiated leases with a furniture store, flooring store,
electronics store, a major brand paint store, and golf store. All of these uses are
ideal of the Winchester corridor. This is where showroom type stores want the drive
by exposure. All of these uses were turned down by City of Temecula Planning Dept.
because of the "Business Park" zoning put upon that area. What the City is telling
the users and property owners of Temecula by zoning Winchester Road as "Business
Park" is that the City wants to see Manufacturers and Industrial along with
Office buildings along ~e Winchester Road corridor. This is negative to the "best
use" of the properties and further burdens the marketing of the properties.
The properties along Winchester Road and Enterprise Circle are almost all built out
under the county "Manufacture / Service Commercial" (MSC) zoning and most are built
to lure retail / commercial users. Almost all existing buildings and uses would not
fit into the Business Park concept. Grandfathering the uses is nothing more than a
slow death. No expansion and once replaced with another type use you can not go back
to the original use. You .end up with a building that cost too much to operate with
industrial users paying bottom dollar for showroom quality space for rent. Buildings
with limited parking can not be converted to Office buildings!
Property Owners and existing users along Winchester Road demand that Business Park
zone be replaced with a zoning that makes more sense .... "Service Commercial".
Service Commercial zone should start at Enterprise Circle just west of Jefferson
and continue west to the "Open Space" zone at the Murrieta creek. Please make the
change from Business Park to Service Commercial in the city sponsored General Plan
Amendment.
This proposal is not one property owner grandstanding! The entire Rancho California
Business Center 1 Association is against the Business Park zone and for the Service
Commercial zone. It is the will of the area majority and will benefit the property
owners, tenants, and City revenues.

Dear Mr. Meyer.
Thank you again for the time you spent with us in July.
This meeting helped us understand the Interim Plan adopted by the County
in 1989. the General plan of 1991. You also explained to us the General
Pland and Map of Land Use adopted November 1993 by the City of Temecuia.
You brought to our attention that the above referenced property is in an
area that has been designated f~r a zoning change to BUSINESS PARK OR
LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. (A ZONING THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR RETAIL SALES!)
This zoning change would drastically affect the value of this property.
as it was built and designed in 1986 for Retail/Showroom tenants.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS LETTER A REQUEST TO CONSIDER ZONING OF THIS PROPERTY
REMAIN COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
WE ALSO REQUEST THAT WE BE PUT ON YOUR MAILING LIST FOR ALL NOTICES OF
MEETINGS PERTAINING TO ZONING CHANGES IN TEMECULA.

Dear John:
I own lots 10, 17, and 21 in the Rancho California Business
Center 1. I would like to add my voice to the others in our
association in requesting a Service Commercial Designation for
these lots in the new development code. The "SC" zoning re-
presents the current use of many of the parcels and the best
future use of the vacant parcels.
The small size of the parcels (1 acre) does not lend
itself to the type of development typically called for in "BP". The
service commercial would also allow for small businesses to serve
the industrial parks developing on the west side of the freeway
and thus reduce the traffic on the freeway overpasses. Many of the
existing buildings were built as commercial buildings and are not
suitable for BP use and I think that conformity of the neighborhood
would be enhanced by the SC designation.
We have a very active association with strong CC & R's that
will ensure quality development on these parcels. The SC will
encourage development that will be economically feasible and'allow
the property owners to be successful tax paying and sales tax
generating members of the community.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Meyer:
I artended your workshop on May 23, 1994, regarding sub-area
two in reference to the first draft of the industrial zoning
district. I appreciate being notified of the workshop; the
meeting was very informative. I represent the owners of the
above mentioned property.
As you know, we have converted 40% of this building into a
commercial/retail usage. This was completed approximately
one year ago; we made significant alterations to the building
giving it a retail look (i.e. windows, drop ceilings, etc.).
Shortly thereafter=we obtained ToolMart and Hometronics as
commercial retail tenants. Concurrently, we shrunk the
square footage of the industrial user (Sky Traker of America)
who continues to occupy 60% (14,400 sq.ft.) of the building.
Presently, we plan to maintain the existing tenants until
such time that it is economically feasible to convert the
industrial user ('STA) into several retail/commercial users.
It is our general goal to make use of this highly visible and
well located commercial site into a 100% commercial/retail
use. Based on the schemata presented at your workshop, it is
our understanding that will designate
our subject property
We concur with the zoning desi~nation of Community Commercial
and the schedule of Permitted Uses as provided for under
Table 9.08 (Draft). In addition to the designation schedule
we recommend that the commercial usages requiring freeway
exposure be included in the Community Commercial schedule.
More specifically, additional usages allowed would be
recreational vehicle sales, wholesale bakery, feed and grain
(indoor), and motorcycle sales and services.

SUBJECT: Rancon Commerce Center Phases 2, 3 & 4 Association
Dear John: :
Thank you very much for meeting with me and discussing the proposed zone
useages within Rancon Commerce Center Phases 2, 3 & 4 Association. As
you are well aware, the Association has numerous useages within the
Association. The present proposed zoneage for the Association would
preclude a DHmber of those uses.
During our discussion, both at the open workshop meetings and a private
meeting held at City Hall, I believe there is some concurrence that a
new zone designation be considered by the City of Temecula. The new
zoning designation would be similar to the County's MSC designation
without the commercial capabilities or use. I believe the quasi-MSC
designation would allow the continued growth within Rancon Commerce
Center Phases 2, 3 & 4 without precluding existing useages.
Attached, and made a part of this letter, is a recap of the useages
and/or proposed zoneage as it applies to the individual parcels within
our Association. As you can see, the proposed zoneage designation for
present useage encompasses the entire spectrum of proposed zoneage
designations. The new proposed MSC, without the commercial zoneage
designation, would allow the majority of the existing useages to remain.
The Board of Directors believes it is incumbent upon the City of
Temecula to address the zoneage designations with an eye towards those
people who have invested within the City of Temecula under the old MSC
county designation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

is not an easy task to do so.
It
I have previouely talked with you on the telephone and
corresponded with you under dates of March 16 and March 23, 1994
with respect to the above-referenced Property. In order to
facilitate action upon my requests contained herein, I will briefly
describe the Property at 27941 Front Street as related in my
previous telephone conversations and correspondence as follows:
My family has owned the Property at 27941 Front Street
for more than 20 years. The Property is identified in the

products.
I have again reviewed the draft Development Code (dated
March 30, 1994) with the Schedule of Permitted Uses (dated April
12, 1994) and a portion of the City of Temecula Land Use Element
Draft (dated December 6, 1993). I (as well as most others
expressing their views at the Workshop) feel that while the overall
purpose is commendable, the draft Development Code and the Schedule
of Uses is overly complicated and restrictive.
With respect to the subject Property at 27941 Front
Street, the General Plan designation of Business Park is not
workable. The draft Development Code designation of BP or Business-
Park is not workable and is in fact the worst possible designation.
Such designation neither conforms to th~ existing improvements and
use nor any rea}istic future development or use for the Property.
You indicated at the Workshop that the City of Temecula
would be amending the General Plan to correct errors which had
become apparent upon closer examination of certain properties. As
I have stated to you, I unfortunately had no notice of the various
proceedings leading to the adoption of the General Plan.
I respectfully request that the City of Temecula proceed
to amend as soon as possible the designation for the subject
Property at 27941 Front Street from Business Park ("BP") to Service
Commercial~ ("SC")~. The Service Commercial designation should
permit the existing improvements to be put to some economic use.
Without the ability to use the Property.for the purposes set forth
under the Service Commercial designatioD, I and all of the realtors

that I have spoken to in the Temecula area believe it will be
extremely difficult to put the existing improvements to any use.
In the interim, pending the amendment of the General Plan
for the Property to Service Commercial, I would like the
cooperation of the City to enable the vacant portion of the
Property to be leased for such purposes as are permitted for
Service Commercial. I have found from experience that vacant
properties become a rather costly, unattractive nuisance and I wish
to avoid the same. ·
Please advise me as to any further information or
documentation which you require at this time and as to when I might
expect a decision to include in the City of Temecula's amendments
to the General Plan the Property to change its designation from
Business Park ("BP") to Service Commercial ("SC") and what the
timetable with respect to the same might be.
Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.

Dear Mr. Meyer:
I would like to thank you for the interest and support you have
shown to myself and BW/IP concerning the usage of the above
referenced property.
I am requesting that the City of Temecula amend the General Plan
designation of Business Park (BP) to Service Con~nercial (SC) on the
above property.
As you are well aware BW/IP moved from the Front Street address to
our present location almost two years ago and have been in the
process of subleasing that facility. The design of the building
includes 12,000 square feet of office/retail space and 27,000
square feet of warehouse/manufacturing space. The
manufacturing/warehouse space has been leased until August 1998.
The office facility facing Front Street and 1-15 is perfect for a
retail operation however the present "BP" designation prevents that
type of use. This portion of that facility remains vacant at this
time.
BW/IP has been a major employer in this area for over 20 years and
plans on remaining here for the foreseeable future. Your
assistance and cooperation in this matter would be greatly
appreciated by this corporation and the owner of the property.

As you know, the referenced property was designated Profes-
sional Office {PO) under the general plan, although the County Desig-
nation and zone were 'MSC'. This PO designation is very obviously
inappropriate for the past, present, and future {at least the next
thirty to fifty years) use of the property.
The property owners were asked to recommend a new designa-
tion from those in the General Plan. Since the General Plan is indeed
eGeneral', we were provided the very specific draft Zoning schedules
which are planned for the various designations. Upon review it was
clear that none of the draft schedules were acceptable to most of the
parcels. Although some changes have been made in the draft schedules,
they wilt still present a significant hardship to most of the property
owners. As a result, there has been no consensus among the owners to
present to the City.
After a careful review of the draft sche. dules, I wo..uJdI~like
request
~(or more correctly, the ~eaet unsui~b]e) dee~nation,
The SC designation and associated draft schedules allow the
present use of the property to continue. Some prior uses would not be
allowed, and this restricts the potential uses in the future.
MEMBER BUNKIST GROWERS MEMBER CALAVO GROWERS
Please consider this letter a formal request to the City of
Temecula to implement the change of use desi$~nation to Service Commer-
cial. It is imperative that any change in use designation specifical-
ly authorizes continuation of the present uses and sireliar or deriva-
tive uses on a permanent basis. This authorization must include the
type of use and the Floor Area Ratio presently existing. This FAR was
consistent with the county zone requirements when the present tenant
occupied the property, and falls near the low end of the FAR range
listed for SC zones. It apparently exceeds the very low Target FAR by
a small amount -- depending on the de*~ls of how it is calculated.
Please advise me if any other action is necessary on my
part.

Subject: Draft Development Code
Attached to this letter is a request for a Use Designation
change for Lot 6 Tract 12549 of the Rancho California Industrial
Park II. Also attached is a set of listings of the draft Devel-
opment Code which would be applied to the various Use Designa-
tions.
The data has been sorted by Use Designation and provides a
more convenient way to see what can and can not be done in a
given area. I hope this is of some use -- and I have included a
copy of the data on a disk for use by anyone familiar with dBASE
files. :
As I have discussed before, I believe there is a major flaw
in the way this zoning is being approached - in that it appears
to start with the lowest possible level of detail and leaves it
to the property owner to try to discern any broader rationale for
the placement of these very specific uses.
Examples of uses which I believe should be described as
simply examples of a much broader classification are:
Art Supply Stores
Bookstores
Camera Shop (saies/minor repairs)
Florist Shop
Glass and Mirrors~ Retail Sales
Hobby Supply Shop
Ice Cream Parlor
Photographic Studio
Watch Repair
-- and many more ---
These all tend to be relatively small businesses~ requiring
minimal utility services, and generating moderate traffic. In
fact, I would suggest that a much better classification system
would be based on such physical parameters as maximum space
required~ utility service demands per unit area~ range of custom-
er traffic generated, range of supplier traffic generated, emis~
sions of all kinds (including noise), external supply storage
requirements, and s~m~l~r items. I fail to see why it should be
necessary to specifica~y list Hobby Supply Shops, Art Supply
Stores, Camera Shop, and Watch Repair -- perhaps Art is a Hobby!
With the present approach, you have many hundreds (perhaps
thousands) of detailed uses to list. Where are the jewelry
stores, ~opy Centers, Music Stores, Ski Shops, Golf Shops, etc.,
etc., etc.?
The property owners, tenants, and the general public, should
have the maximum amount of freedom possible to determine what
uses are acceptable. Only when a use would have a significant
detrimental impact of the general class desired should. it be
prohibited. This is especially true where the property has been
developed before the excessively restrictive regulations are to
be imposed.
Undeveloped land, with the concurrence (or compensation) of
the owners can impose almost any restrictions desired. That is
often done with CC&R's.
If you provide me with updates to the Development Code as is
approaches adoption, I wili update the computer file.

Dear John;
This letter is to notify you that I will require a Light
Industrial (LI) zoning on my commercial property, located at
28377 Felix Valdez Ave. I operate a Homeowner/Contractor rental
equipment business at this location. I purchased this lot in
1980, from KACOR Development and the whole Phase II Industrial
Park was zoned Manufacturing One (M1). This lot zoning was proper
to place an equipment rental yard with outside storage. We
constructed a building mid-1985 and moved our equipment rental
business from a lease space into our new facilities that year,
and our equipment rental business has continued at this location
to date. I believe Riverside County changed the zoning from M1 to
MSC (Manufacturing Service Commercial) in 1987. This zoning was
still proper for an equipment rental yard. I firmly believe it is
only proper that this parcel continues with the proper zoning of
Light Industrial'(LI). This LI zoning is what the planning
department's Matrix of Zoning show is the only permitted zoning
for an equipment rental (business with outside storage). This
facility was designed and built with the specific needs of an
equipment rental business, and will continue in that use. It is
imperative that this parcel retains its proper zoning of Light
Industrial (LI). I purchased this lot with sole purpose of a site
for an equipment rental business and that is the only purpose
that it has been used for. The zoning has been consistent with
this use for all the past years and should be in the future. This
also would be consistent with proposed (LI) zoning of the two
parcels (the Alvarez Properties) to the immediate north of my
property. Also the property to the immediate west also has
proposed (LI) zoning. This property is owned by Calavo, an
avocado packing and distribution facility. The Calavo facility
also continues just south of my property. The property
immediately south of my property is occupied by an electrical
wholesale supply distributor, Mission Electric. The owner of the
electrical supply company is also a part owner in the building.
Although, your proposed zoning, for the Mission Electric
building, is for Service Commercial (SC), your zoning matrix
shows the more appropriate zoning should be LI, because this type
of business is more in line with a pl-m~ing supply yard or a
distribution facility. Also the entire industrial park area west
of my property has a proposed LI zoning. My requirement for a LI
zoning is consistent with the property around and to the western
area of my property, also, plus the fact my property has had the
consistent use as an equipment'rental facility and has had the
proper permitted zoning entirely in the past. These facts
necessitate a LI zoning for my property. I am sure you will come
to the same conclusion. If you have any questions concerning this
matter please contact me.
Sincerely,

As I watched another potential tenant drive off, I was disturbed to
realize that they left because their usage would not fit into the zoning .
for our building. This is a situation which should never be encountered,
because all buildings are designed and built to accon~uodate uses
compatible to the zoning in their area. It would be foolish to build an '=~
industrial building in an area which only allowed office usage in their
zoning. If it is foolish to build a building which is not compatible
with its' zoning, then the same argument can be made when a city changes :~
in Temecula. Eighty to Ninety percent of the buildings in this area are
standard concrete-tilt up edifices, inclined to your typical industrial
uses. But, in the adoption of the new city general plan, this area was
newly zoned Professional Office. It is impossible for standard
industrial buildings, to attract office users with limited professional
office buildout and insufficient parking. Because of this serious
problem, I am writing to explain our plight and make a sound
recommendation for a Light Industrial Zoning.

Based on the ntix of our current tenants and the two proposed zones, it
is plainly evident that the only zoning we could have would be LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL. We are 65% leased with Light Industrial and would be 26%
leased under Service Con~nercial. If the zoning was changed to Service
Commercial, we would also loose existing tenants who would like to
expand their space. For Example, Burkey Machine Shop (5,973 sf - 15% of
projects space) is currently contemplating expanding into an adjacent
unit which is allowed under light industrial, but would not be allowed
under service commercial. If it becomes imperative for them to expand,
we will loose them because they can't expand under Service Commercial.

Mr. Meyer, the buildings at 28545 Felix Valdez and 28373 Felix
Valdez were designed for Light Industrial, the currentuses most clearly
define Light Industrial, and the prospective tenants fit within the mold
of Light Industrial. Therefore, it is clearly evident that the only
prospective zoning which makes any logical senMe is LiQht Industrial.

Dear Mr. Meyers;
At the close of the last meeting with Phase II Industrial
Park property owners, you invited those attending to submit
additional comments by letter to your office concerning the
commercial zoning changes proposed by the planning department and
the city administration. I think you will agree that there is
more than one perspective on this matter, and I would like to
give you mine. I think it would be beneficial to provide a copy
of this letter to your department head, the city manager, and the
city council.
As you read this letter you will think that most of it does
not pertain to the subject at hand, but it does. The attitude and
regulations from your department and the city sends very strong
messages to the business community. This in turn effects the
employment and vitality of the community. I think you are not
fully aware of the gravity of your decisions. I hope by the time
you are finished reading this letter you have a new perspective
on how this zoning changed, combined with other regulations,
negatively impacts business in this and other communities. I may
be only one voice, but believe me, I represent the majority of
the thinking in the business conununity not the minority. I
subscribe to numerous publications and read many other business
and trade magazines, as well as news letters. In reading these
publications I can guarantee that I am in the majority. I will
list a few of these publications to show the breath of field:
Chamber of Ce~,erce ( California and U.S.), Wall Street Journal,
U.S. News & World Report, NFIB (National Federation of
Independent Businessmen), National Write You Congressman,
Independent Business, California Rental Association and American'
Rental Association. I am sure you've read few if any of these
publications, which is part of the problem. I do not wish to be-
little nor demean you, I hope only to give you an insight and a
perspective into the regears of the business world, so that you
may understand how profoundly government ( and its agencies)
effect business.
It is imperative that you view this through the eyes of
business and co~nnercial property owners, not through they eyes of
a government bureaucracy. You say! But I'm paid to look through
the eyes of a government bureaucracy, that's one of the problems.
Government and its bureaucracies treat business as 'The Evil
Impire.' You say, no we don't. Then why do you pile mountains of
regulation, restrictions, and controls on business, and then tax
them and their employees to pay for this government and
bureaucratic controls. Why are 60% of American workers employed
or paid by government. I know that all of these people are not
military, police, fire fighters, public teachers, etc. You cannot
count in this group; the IRS, franchise tax board, building and
safety, port authorities, etc. because they are there to regulate
and tax. Let's say half of the 60% are and the rest are pure
government and regulators. Let's say of the remaining 40% of the
work force, a total of 3-5% are business owners and corporate
management, the reining 35-37% are employees of these
businesses. This means that 30% of the total work force is there
to govern and regulate 3-5% of that work force. If we are not
'The Evil Impire" why the 10-1 ratio. You may think my numbers
are incorrect and of course government would never want to run a .
study to determine the real numbers, everybody would know for
sure then. I can tell you that business is over regulated. At
this point you probably wondering where I am going with this
letter and what does this have to do with zoning. To help you
understand, I will relate a true story, that I hope adds
perspective, before I continue. George McGovern was a career
politician, that had served in both houses of the U.S. Congress
over decades in politics. Upon retiring he opened a restaurant
business, which soon failed. At which time he made a profound but
honest statement. He said that if he had understood while he was
in congress, how difficult running a business was, he would have
voted very different on many bills that had affected business. I
am attempting to give an insight, that he obviously did not have.
Before you decide on a recommendation for this zoning issue, I
would like to share with you some examples of how laws,
regulations, and policies effect not only business but the
business climate. In one of my business magazines, 2-21/2 years
ago, I read an article on a second or third generation furniture
manufacture. They had waste solvents they used in their business
that had to be transported to a hazardous waste sight. They had
contracted with a hazardous waster hauler to properly remove
these solvents. The furniture business had the proper records
including manifests from the hazardous waste hauler0 as to the
proper sight that these waste were to be taken. The waste hauler
in actuality was taking this waste to an unauthorized sight. When
the waste hauler was caught, he did not have the money to pay for
the clean up of the sight. Therefore, the EPA super-fund
bureaucracy demanded the furniture manufacture to pay 1.5 million
dollars as his share of the clean up. The manufacture had no part
in this illegal dumping and had done everything proper on his
end. After spending $30,000.00 defending himself and after his
attorney projected it would cost close to $300,000.00 to
exonerate himself with the EPA. He made the decision to file
bankruptcy and close down his manufacturing business. this
sending sixty en~loyees to the uner~loyment lines. I had intended
to covey a couple more examples, but I fear I could loose your
attention. I could literally go on with exem~les for hours if not
days. Believe me, these incidences of in~roper interference and
negative regulations of business, are not isolated. This frommy
own personal experience and other business associates, not just
from business publications. In general, government and its "
bureaucratic agencies are sending a very bad and destructive
message to business. Maybe this is why larger manufactures and
corporations that have the ability to move out of restrictive
states like California and even the USA have done so. They got
the message. Why are we having such difficulty creating jobs in
America? Because government policy makes this too difficult for
business. Realize, small businesses, the ones creating the jobs,
are the most severely effected by these laws and regulations.
You may say what does all of this have to do with zoning. A
great deal really. Zoning is the projection of an attitude toward
business and developers. If you project an image of restrictive
hostilities, they will go somewhere else. Whey is there such a
driving force to segregate an office from being next door to a
small machine shop. Maybe you have an automotive shop or a
sandwich shop a building or two from the others. The employees of
the first two can have their car worked on while at work and'walk
to the sandwich shop for lunch. The diversity is more of a
positive than a negative. Where the safety of businesses,
surrounding certain manufacture facilities, is concerned, I can
understand zoning precautions. But zoning for segregation
purposes only, does not make sense. When a developer builds a
multi-unit commercial lease building, it is ir~erative not to
limit the type of tenants he can place in the units. To do so can
destroy the economic viability of the project. Again this
discourages or prevents development and the creation of new
business or the expansion of existing business. Therefore, a loss
or prevention of job creation and income to the city, through
associated fee and taxes. In the process of cityhood, I
understand there was a phone survey of homeowners of what k/nd.of
con~nity they wanted. There was no such survey of business and
developers. This is not only unforgivable but a disgrace. This
really lets business know where they rank, not even on the list.
A closing thought for this section. When developing property or
starting a new business you are betting you will win. The house
odds are against you to start with. To add to these odds, will
discourage player participation. Is this what you reallywant to
do---think about it.
Well, on to the last topic of discussion for this letter.:
You probably never thought it would happen. The city council and
especially the planning depart=nent have been enthusiastically
promoting the 'Old Town' concept. Only a few of us, which live
here now, can remember the Temecula of 10-20 years ago. I have
lived andbeen in business in Temecula since 1981. How time
flies, does not seem that long. Temecula market and three gas
stations, but alot of real estate offices. Both myself and my
wife are originally from Kansas, she, from 25 miles outside a
town of 1500, which shrank to 850 by the time she left. I think
both of us qualify to know what small town, 'Old Town', means.
This type of town exists today in rural America. But what really
is 'Old Town'. It is a central location where providers of goods
and services congregate. You may have a hardware store (general
store then) next to an automotive repair shop, a bank across the
street from the cafe (restaurant for city folks), a gas station
next to the drug store, a feed store next to the gas station.
Granted the cattle feed lot is placed outside of town for obvious
reasons. I think you get the point. You say: But that's a small
town and in larger towns (cities) you need more order and
organization. Do you really? Do we loose convenience and
togetherness through segregation? Do we loose a sense of
wholeness. I read today in the Wall Street Journal of a trend of
moving management from their closed door offices to the arena of
open theater of cubicals. This to ensure better con=nunication of
all and the feeling of common purpose and increased productivity.
What is best for the connon good and the order of things? When
conten~lating utopia, does it not exist in ones mind, for each
has his own idea of what utopia is, and therefore, no true utopia
exists for all of man. Guide lines are important in modern life,
but they should not stifle innovation and creation. Take time to
ponder you decision before you make it. To attempt to micro
manage and over regulate the country at all levels is not only
undemocratic, because it unduly takes freedoms away, but it also
is destructive to our economy and our society. Therefore, I
believe it is in the best interest of the community to leave the
zoning as MSC or the equivalent.

Mr. Oohn Neyer,
Our vacant piece of property located on Felix Valdez Road, would
most likely warrant itself to Professional Office lonin~ due to the
adjacent property uses. On the east side of the property sits a two
story bank/office structure while on the west side stands Captains Cabin
Restaurant and a two story office structure. Bein~ that our property is
sandwiched between the two and to alleviate any potential spot zonin~
problem, it seem obvious that the zonin~ must be Professional Office.
Ergo, we a~ree with the City and 6eneral Plans recommended zonin~ for
our property as Professional Office.

ill. DISCUSSION OF TH~ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The purpose of the proposed General Plan AmeDdm~ntS are to modify the existin~ l~nd use designations for
various parcels of land throughout the City. In November of 1993, the City of Temecula adopted the General
Plan and corrispondin~ Enviwnmental Impset Report'(EIR), Mitigation Monitorin~ Program and S~eut
of Overriding Comidergion. The adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendm~.ia will result in a change
to the existing and future lsncl use desi_~n~on to several percels of land within the City. However, the
changes to the land use designations will not result in impaas which would be considered greater than those
impacts previously ex~mln~l and mitigated through the EIR for the General Plan. Therefore, staff has
determined that there will be no significant impacts to the environment as a result of the General Plan
Amendmeamts.
W. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Does the project have the potential to either: degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish, wildlife or bird species, cause a fish,
wildlife or bird population to drop below self sustai~ng
levels, thresten W eliminnie a plant, bird or snimn]
species, or eliminnte important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
Yes Maybe No
Does the project have the potential to achieve short
term, to the disadvantage of long term, e~vir0nmelta]
goals? (A short term impact on the enviroument is one
which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of
time while long term impacts will endure well inW the
f~ture.)
Does the prolea have impacts which are individually
Jimited, but cumulatively considerable? (A projea's
impact on two or more separate resources may be
relatively small, but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is significant.)
X
Does the project have enviromantal effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
X
7113/95 mf 7 lu,,iml 11/2/92
ENVIRONbI!~rFAL DErrA~IINATION
On the basis of this initial evs~n~on:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significaut effect on
the environmeut, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect
on the e~vironmeat, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case
because the Miti~stlon Measures described on the ~hed sheeu and
in the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the project will
mitiga2 any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, nnd all ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT .REPORT is required.
