A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on September 28, 1995, Planning Application No. PA95-0097 was deemed complete on October 12, 1995. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public comment between October 16, 1995 and November 3, 1995. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is a 19,200square foot pre-school facility and a parking space reduction from 102 parking spaces to 92 parking spaces. The pre-school will employ approximately forty (40) people and will have approximately 312 children attending the facility. Hours of operation shall be between 6:00 am and 12:00 midnight Monday through Thursday and between 6:00 am and 5:00 pm Friday and Saturday. ANALYSIS Site and Buildina Desian The building has been designed with a residential character so it will be compatible with the surrounding residential development. The building base color will be off-white stucco, with Forest Green accent trim. The roof will be concrete tile which will look like a wood shake roof. Trellises will be wood. The fence will be wrought iron and combination block and wrought-iron. River rock will be used at the entrance to the project. The front of the building will face Solaria Way and the project will take access from Solana Way at two points. The project is conditioned to provide ultimate right-of-way improvements to Solana Way in front of the project site, tapering into the existing improvements to the south. Grading for the site R:~TAFTRPT~fT'PA95.l~C 1111/95 klb 2 will result in a balanced site; however, it will create the need for a retaining wall north of the rear drive aisle. The wall will be a maximum of 5 1/2 feet in height. Screenino and Landscapina Staff had concerns about screening the project on its eastern border where it abuts existing residences. California Pepper Trees are used in this area because they are an evergreen tree and grow quickly. This will provide the screening necessary to the residences to the east. Further, evergreen trees have been added in the front and rear of the project for screening. Sycamore trees have been utilized in the front of the project, along Solaria Way, and this tree choice is consistent with those trees used in the surrounding areas. Vines will be planted along the retaining wall in order to prevent graffiti. Interior site landscaping has been provided to break up the massing of the building and provide shade. Parkinfi The project requires 102 parking spaces per Ordinance No. 348. The project has 92 parking spaces and the applicant has requested a reduction in the required number of parking spaces (reference Attachment No. 5). In their formal request for a reduction, the applicant states: "this facility is a drop-off and pick-up pre-school, and clients of this pre-school will not park and stay for long durations of time." Drop-off and pick-up at the pre-school will be staggered. The applicant further states that they will have approximately forty (40) employees. Staff supports the reduction in required parking based upon the rationale provided by the applicant. NoiSq The project has been designed so that noise impacts from the play areas on existing and future development in the area will be. minimized. The edge of the fence for the play areas is approximately 60-65 feet from the property line. Hours of operation shall be between 6:00 am and 12:00 midnight Monday through Thursday and between 6:00 am and 5:00 pm Friday and Saturday. The project is conditioned so that outdoor play areas will not be used until after 8:00 am and until dusk; thereby, reducing potential noise impacts on adjacent residences. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Existing zoning for the site is R-2 (Multiple-Family Residential). Currently, educational facilities are permitted in any zone provided that a public use permit is granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.29 of Ordinance No. 348. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is M (Medium Density Residential). The General Plan states: "Additional public and institutional uses, including churches and daycare facilities, may be developed in the residential or non-residential land use designations under the procedures established in the Development Code." According to the Draft Development Code, schools and daycare facilities will be conditionally permitted in the zone. Until the new Development Code is adopted, Staff utilizes the provisions contained in Ordinance No. 348. The project as proposed is consistent with Ordinance No. 348 and the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared for this project. The Initial Study determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design and in the Conditions of Approval added to the project. These will mitigate any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance; therefore Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Negative Declaration for the project. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The proposed project is for a 19,200 square foot pre-school facility and a parking reduction from 102 parking spaces to 92 parking spaces. The landscape plan was reviewed by the City's Landscape architect and it was determined that the project is consistent with City Landscape Ordinances. In addition, the project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Ordinance No. 348. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. FINDINGS The proposed use conforms to all General Plan requirements and with all applicable requirements of state law and City ordinances. It is likely that the project will be a permitted use within the General Plan Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (M). In addition, the project is permitted under the existing R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) zoning provided a public use permit is granted. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. Adequate buffering from existing and proposed residences which are adjacent to the project site has been provided. The height and materials of the building are similar to those found in surrounding residential developments. The proposed use or action complies with all other requirements of state law and local ordinances. The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.29 (Public Use Permit) of Ordinance No. 348. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community. In addition, the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design and in the Conditions of Approval added to the project. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, access, and intensity of use, because the proposed planning application (Public Use Permit), as conditioned, complies with the standards contained within the City's General Plan and Ordinance No. 348. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The height and materials of the proposed building are similar to those found in surrounding residential developments. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic. Access to the project site is from a publicly maintained road (Solana Way). The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference.

Restrictions to existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area7 Yes Maybe N_9_o X X HI. DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Ea~h Maybe. The proposal may result in unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures. The site has been previously graded. Potential unstable earth conditions will he mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the soils. The landscaping will serve as erosion control. Construction and grading will not be at depths which would affect any geologic substructures. No impacts are foreseen as a result of this project. 1.b. Yes. The proposal will result in disruptions, displacements, compactions, and/or overcovering of the soil. All grading activity requires some form of disruption, displacement, compaction and/or overcovering of the soil. Impacts are not considered significant for two primary reasons First, the site has previously been graded. Second, the mount of disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of the soil for the realization of this project will be minimal. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. l.c. Yes. The project will result in a change in the site topography and ground surface relief features. Although the site has already been modified into its current configuration, additional grading will be necessary for the realization of this project. Since the amount of grading will be the minimum necessary for the realization of the project, modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.d. No. The project will not result in the destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features. No unique geologic features or physical features exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1 .e,f. Maybe. The project may result in increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-alte during the construction phase of the project. This project may result in changes in siltation, deposition or erosion. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for the project. In the long-run, harriscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. l.g. No. The project will not result in modifications to any wash, channel, creek, river or lake. None exist on the project site, nor are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.h. Yes. Any development of the site will expose people and property to earthquake hazards since the project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active. Any potential impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Soil reports will be required as conditions of appruval and will contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil. Information contained in the City of Temecula General Plan Environmental Impact Report {certified November 9, 1993) states that the project will not expose people or property to geologic hazards such as landslides or mudslides. No known landslides are located on the site or proximate to the site. The same is true for mudslides. There is no potential for ground failure and liquefaction in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.i. 2.a,b. 2.c. Water 3~a~ 3.b. 3.c. 3.d. 3.e. No. The project area is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as identified by the State of California, Resource Agency Deparmlent of Conservation Special Studies Zone Map. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in a potential for air emissions both in the short and long-rnn. Air emissions will occur during the construction phase of the project and objectionable odors may also result. Impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. Air emissions will also increase due to the project over the long run; however, these are not considered significant. Because this project will be located in a residential area, the lenbrth of vehicle trips could be reduced by the users of the facility. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not contribute to alterations of air movement, temperature, or moisture, or in any change in climate either locally or regionally. The scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No. The project will not result in changes to currents, to the course or direction of water movements in either marine or flesh waters. The project site is not located adjacent to either marine or flesh water sources. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff. Previously permeable Found will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, impacts are mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle the runoff which will be created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in the alterations to the course or flow of flood waters. The project site is not located within identified floodway or dam inundation areas. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody. No major waterbodies are located in the subject project area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Maybe. The project may result in discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:L~TAFFRF~97PAg$.PC 10/30/95 3.f,g. No. The project will not result in an alteration of the direction or rate of flow of groundwaters. Construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. In addition, no changes will occur in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions, withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.h. No. The project will not result in the reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies. Water service currently exists in proximity to the project site. Additional water service will need to be provided by Rancho California Water District (RCWD). This is typically provided upon completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. No. The project will not expose people or property to water related hazards such as flooding. Reference response 3 .c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Plant Life 4.a-d. No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any native species of plants, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species of plants, in the introduction of new species of plants into the area of native vegetation, in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species, or in the reduction in the acreage of any agricultural crop. The project site has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, or native vegetation on the site. In addition, this property is not currently used as farm land and is not identified in the General Plan as an area of agricultural significance. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts as a result of this project. Animal Life No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species of animals, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species of animals, in the introduction of new wildlife species inW the area, in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals or in the deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat. The proposed project is in an area that has been experiencing urbanization for a number of years. The site is currently graded and there is no indication that any wildlife species exists at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species, provide a barrier to the migration of animals or deteriorate existing habitat. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. Habitat Conservation fees will be required to mitigate the effect of cumulative impacts to the species. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts to animal life as a result of this project. R:~STAFFRP'~e//PA95.K 10f30/95 ~ 2g Noise 6.a. Yes. The project will result in increases to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and any development of the land will result in increases m noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. It is not anticipated that noise generated a pre-school at the site will generate significant mounts of noise; however, the noise may bother the existing residents to the east because they are used to the existing quiet condition. No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long run. 6.b,c. Maybe. The project may expose people to severe noise levels and vibrations during the construction phase (short run) for each development on the site. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing damage from steady 8-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. The exposure to severe vibrations will be of short duration and will also not be considered significant. Li~,ht and Glare Yes. The project will ultimately produce and result in light/glare. All development of this nature result in new light sources. The project has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. The project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). Proposed light standards for the project will be approximately fifty (50) feet from the property line and will not affect adjacent residences. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Land Use Yes. The project will alter the present land use of the area, because the site is currently vacant. It is likely that the project will be a permitted use within the General Plan Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (M). In addition, the project is permitted under the existing R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) zoning provided a public use permit is granted. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. No. The proposal will not result in an alteration to the future planned land use of the site as described in the City's General Plan. Reference response 8.a. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Natural Resources 9.a,b. Yes. The project will result in an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s). Development of the site will result in an increase in the rate of use of natural resources (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. R:XSTAFFRF~97PA95.PC 10/30/95 klb 29 Risk of UDset 10.a,b. No. The current proposal will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident nor in the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. The pre-school will not be involved in handling any of these materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 10.c. No. The project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evaluation plan. The subject site is not located in an area which could impact an emergency response plan. The site will take access from a publically maintained street and will therefore not impede any emergency response or emergency evacuation plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Ponulation 11. No. The project will not result in altering the location, distribution, density or growth rate of the human population of the area. Some new jobs will be created, and there is the potential for people to relocate closer to their job. However, due to the limited scale of the project, large numbers of people will not be reineating to the City of Temecula. No significant irapacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Housin~ t2. No. Reference response 11. Projects of this nature do not cause large numbers of people to relocate; therefore, additional housing needs will not be created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Transportation/Circulation 13.a. Yes. The project will result in the generation of substantial additional vehicular movement. According to page 3 of the Traffic Analysis prepared for the project, the project will have impacts greater than five percent to intersections affected by the project (Ynea Road and Solana Way and Margarita Road and Solana Way). Mitigation measures will be included in the conditions of approval for the project, as approved by the Public Works Department, that will mitigate any impacts from the project to a level less than significant. Therefore, no significant impacts are expected from development of the site. 13.b. Yes. The project will result in an increased demand for new parking. Ninety-two (92) parking spaces are proposed for the pt~-school. The applicant has requested a reduction in the number of parking spaces required under Ordinance No. 348 from one hundred two (102) to ninety-two (92). This request can be supported because many of the preschool students ere dropped off at the facility. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. Yes. The project will create an impact upon existing transportation systems. Currently, Solana Way is not fully improved in front of the project site. The project will be conditioned to provide ultimate right-of-way improvements to Solana Way in front of the project site. This will mitigate any potential impacts to an existing transportation system (Solana Way). The project will not create an impact upon public transportation. Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) Route 23 travels past R:X~AFFRF~9'/PA95,PC 10/30/95 klb 30 the intersection of Margarita Road and Solana Way. This project is located approximately one- quarter mile from this intersection. A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) will not be required for this project. TDM is based upon the number of employees per shift and is not required if there under 100 at one shift. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.d. Yes. The project will result in alterations to present panems of circulation or movement of people and/or goods. The site is currently vacant. People will be travelling to a site that was previously vacant. This will logically alter the present circulation pattern. As mentioned in response No. 13.c., the project is located adjacent to a fully improved Arterial Highway. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.e. No. The project will not result in alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic since none exists currently in the proximity of the site and none are proposed. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.f. Yes. The project will result in an increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. The hazards will increase as the project develops due to increased activity on the site. These impacts are not seen as significant. Impacts have been mitigated to a level less than significant through the site design, which is consistent with City standards. Public Services ]:4.a,b. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered fire or police protection. The project will incrementally increase the need for fire and police protection; however, it will contribute its fair share to the maintenance of service provision from these entities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.c. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project is a school facility. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.d. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered parks or other recreational facilities. Reference responses No. 11 and 12. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.e. Yes. The proposal will result in a need for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Portions of funding for maintenance of roads is derived from the Gasoline Tax which is distributed to the City of Temecula from the State of California. Impacts to current and future needs for maintenance of roads as a result of development of the site will be incremental, however, they will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.f. No. The proposal will not have a substantial affect upon or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~TAFFRF~97PA95.!~C 10t'~0~95 klb 31 Erieray 15.a. 15.b. Utilities 16.a 16.b. t6.c. 16.d. 16.e. 16.f. 16.g. No. The proposal will not result in the use of substantial amounts of fuel or energy. As mentioned in responses 9.a. and 9.b. the proposal may result in an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource or the depletion of any nonrenewable resource. Development of the site will result in an increase in the rate of use of natural resources (construction materials, f~els for daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. No. The project will not result in a substantial increase in demand upon existing sources of energy, nor will the project require the development of new sources of energy. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. These systems are currently being delivered adjacent to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to communication systems (reference response No. 16.a.).

The project is located within Eastern Municipal Water Distriet's CEMW'D) sanitary sewer service area. Based upon information contained in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report, adequate facilities exist (and are proposed) which will adequately service the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The proposal will result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to on-site storm water drainage systems. Although the project is considered in-fill, the proposal will need to provide on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to solid waste disposal systems. Any potential impacts from solid waste created by this development can be mitigated through participation in any Source Reduction and Recycling Program~ which are implemented by the City. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in a disjointed or inefficient pattern of utility delivery system improvements for any of the above. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~qTAFFRPTX97PA95.1~C 10/30/95 klb 32 Human Health 17.a.b. No. The proposal will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health has reviewed the project and its recommendations shall be included as conditions of approval for the project (as per County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health transmittal dated October 2, 1995, a copy of which is on file with the Planning Department). In addition, the proposal will not expose people to potential health hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthetics 18.a,b. No. The proposal will not result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, nor in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view. The project will be compatible in architectural style and scale with adjacent development and is typical of development in Temecula and Southern California. Landscaping and building articulation will provide buffers to existing view corridors. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in detrimental visual impacts on the surrounding area. Reference response 18.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 19. No. The proposal will not result in impacts to the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities. Reference responses No. 11 and 12. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate to the City of Temecula and therefore will not result in impacts to the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 20.a. No. The proposal will not result in the alteration or destruction of any paleontologic, prehistoric, archaeological or historic site.

No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:XSTAFFRPTX97PA95.!mC 10/30/95 klb 33 IV. 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 sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant, bird or animal species, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory7 Does the project have the potential to achieve short term, to the disadvantage of long term, enviromental goals? (A short term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long term impacts will endure well into the future.) Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project'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.) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Yes Maybe N__o X R:~TAFFRI~97PA95.!*C 10/t0/95 klb 34 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because the Mitigation Measures described on the attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the project will mitigate 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, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on September 28, 1995. Planning Application No, PA95-O088was deemed complete on October 17, 1995. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public comment between October 17, 1995 end November 5, 1995. ANALYSIS Site Desian\LandscaDinQ The project site is located on the southwesterly corner of Winchester Road and Calle Empleado, within the Westside Business Park. While the site has been previously graded, the proposal will require the construction of a retaining wall for an existing slope to provide a larger building pad. The site will take access from two existing improved roads, Calle Empleado and Winchester Road. The project consists of the construction of a 24,250square foot office industrial building on a 2.28 acre site. The project will also include the addition of sidewalks, new landscaping and the restoration of existing landscaping. The site currently contains perimeter landscaping which has not been properly maintained by the previous owner. In addition to providing new landscaping for the project, the applicant will be required to install sidewalks and enhance and restore the existing landscaping. The landscape plan has been reviewed by the City's Landscape Architect who has concluded that the project is consistent with the requirements of Ordinance No. 348. Parkinq The construction of the building will generated a need for 57 parking spaces per Ordinance No, 348. The project will supply 40 standard, 14 compact, and 4 handicapped spaces for a total of 58 spaces. Architecture The building will be constructed of tilt-up concrete and will be painted beige on the lower and white on the upper portions of walls. The front and sides of the building will utilize grey windows on the bottom and blue windows on the top portion of the elevations to break-up large expanses of wall mass. Additional building articulation will be provided through the use of 2~ inch and 3/4 inch horizontal reveals. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The existing zoning for the site is Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC) and the General Plan Land Use Designation is Business Park (BP). The project is located in a partially developed business park. The proposed office industrial use is a permitted use in the M-SC zone and is consistent with the BP Land Use Designation. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared for this project. The Initial Study determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design, Conditions of Approval, and the Mitigation Monitoring Program added to the project. These will mitigate any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance; therefore Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the proposed Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project is a proposal to construct office industrial building in an existing business park. The landscape plan was reviewed by the City's Landscape architect and it was determined that the project is consistent with City Landscape Ordinances. In addition, the project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Ordinance No. 348. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. FINDINGS The proposed use conforms to all the General Plan requirements and with all applicable requirements of State law and City ordinances. The land use designation for the site is identified in the General Plan as Business Park and the zoning designation is Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC). The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.30 (Plot Plan) of Ordinance No. 348. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. The proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures identified in the Initial Environmental Assessment for the project have been included in the Conditions of Approval that will reduce any impacts to a level less than significant. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, access, and intensity of use, because the proposed Planning Application (Plot Plan), as conditioned, complies with the standards contained within the City's General Plan and Ordinance No. 348. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic. Access to the project site is from publicly maintained road (Winchester Road and Calle Empleado). The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. Attachments: 2. 3. 4.

The proposal may result in unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures. The site has been previously graded. Potential unstable earth conditions will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the sobs. The landscaping will serve as erosion control. Construction and grading for the development will not be at depths which would affect any geologic substructures. No impacts are foreseen as a result of this project. 1.b. Yes. The proposal will result in disruptions, displacements, compactions, and/or overcovering of the soil. All grading activity requires some form of disruption, displacement, compaction and/or overcovering of the soil. Impacts are not considered significant for two primary reasons First, the site has previonsly beon graded. Second, the amount of disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of the soil for the realization of this project and future projects will be minimal. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in a change in the site topography and ground surface relief features. Although the site has already been modified into its current configuration, additional grading will be necessary for the realization of the project. Since the amount of grading will be the minimum necessary for the realization of the project, modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.d. No. The project will not result in the destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features. No unique geologic features or physical features exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1 .e,f. Maybe. The project may result in increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site during the construction phase of the project. This project may result in changes in siltation, deposition or erosion. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for the projea. In the long-run, bardscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for the projea. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.g. No. The project will not result in modifications to any wash, channel, creek, river or lake. None exist on the project site, nor are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.h. Yes. Any development of the site will expose people and property to earthquake hazards since the project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active. Any potential impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Soil reports prepared for the site contain recornmeodations for the compaction of the soil and will be included as conditions of approval for the project. ]nformatinn contained in the City of Temecula General Plan Environmental Impact Report (certified November 9, 1993) states that the project will not expose people or property to geologic hazards such as landslides or mudslides. No known landslides are located on the site or proximate to the site. The same is true for mudslides. There is no potential for ground failure and liquefaction in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.i. Air 2.a,b. Water 3.a. 3.b. 3.c. 3.d. 3.e. No. The project area is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as identified by the State of California, Resource Agency Department of Conservation Special Studies Zone Map. The project is located approximately 400 feet to the west of an identified fault zone as identified in a soils report prepared for an adjacent parcel map (PM 24085). Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in a potential for air emissions both in the short and long-run. Air emissions will occur during the construction phase of the project and objectionable odor may also result. Impacts will be of short duration and ere not considered significant. Air emissions will also increase due to the project over the long run; however, these ere not considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not contribute to alterations of air movement, temperature, or moisture, or in any change in climate either locally or regionally. The scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No. The project will not result in changes to currents, to the course or direction of water movements in either merine or fresh waters. The project site is not located adjacent to either merine or fresh water sources. No significant impacts ere anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage paRems and the rate and amount of surface runoff. Previously permeable Found will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, acx, ompanying herdscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, impacts ere mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyance will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle the runoff which will be created. No significant impacts ere anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in the alterations to the course or flow of flood waters. The project site is not located within identified floodway or dam inundation areas. No significant impacts ere anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody. No major waterbodies are located in the subject project erea. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Maybe. The project may resuk in discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Boerd. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the projea is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Therefore, no significant impacts ere anticipated as a result of this project. 3 .f,g. No. The project will not result in an alteration of the direction or rate of flow of groundwaters. Construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. In addition, no changes will occur in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions, withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.h. No. The project will not result in the reduction in the mount of water otherwise available for public water supplies. Water service currently exists at the project site. Additional water service will need to be provided by Rancho California Water District (RCWD). This is typically provided upon cempletion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner. The same would apply to future development projects at the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. No. The project will not expose people or property to water related hazards such as flooding. Reference response 3 .c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Plant Life 4.a-d. No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any native species of plants, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species of plants, in the introduction of new species of plants into the area of native vegetation, in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species, or in the reduction in the acreage of any agricnimral crop. The project site has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangarad species of plants, or native vegetation on the site. In addition, this property is not currently used as farm land and is not identified in the General Plan as an area of agricultural significance. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts as a result of this project. Animal Life No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species of animals, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species Of animalS, in the introduction of new wildlife species into the area, in a barrier to the migration or movement of alnlrnals or in the deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat. The proposed project is in an area that has been experiencing urbnniTation for a number of years. The site is currently graded and there is no indication that any wildlife species exists at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species, provide a barrier to the migration of animals or deteriorate existing habitat. The project site is located within the Stephen' s Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. Habitat Conservation fees will be required to mitigate the effect of cumulative impacts to the species. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts to nnirnal life as a result of this project. Noise 6.a. Yes. The project will result in increases to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and any development of the land will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. It is not anticipated that noise generated by a business in a business park will generate significant mounts of noise No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long run. 6.b,c. Maybe. The project may expose people to severe noise levels and vibrations during the construction phase (short run) for each development on the site. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing damage from steady 8-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. The exposure to severe vibrations will be of short duration and will also not be considered significant. Light and Glare Yes. The project will ultimately produce and result in light/glare. All development of this nanire result in new light sources. The project has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. The project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). Proposed light standards for the project will be approximately fifty (50) feet from the property line and will not affect adjacent residences. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Land Use 8.a. Yes. The project will alter the present land use of the area, because the site is currently vacant. The current proposal is consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation for the site which identifies the site as (BP) Business Park. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. No. The proposal will not result in an alteration to the funire planned land use of the site as described in the City's General Plan. Reference response 8.a. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Natural Resources 9.a,b. Yes. The project will result in an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s). Development of the site will result in an increase in the rate of use of natural resources (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. k U0set 10.a,b. Yes. The proposed use will transport, use and store hazardous materials in the course of the business. This will result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident and in the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. The project will be conditioned to implement the requirements of the Riverside County Department of Environmanutl Health and the Riverside County Fire Department for the use, storage and transportation of hazardous materials. The imposition of these conditions will lessen potential impacts to a level below significance. R:XPLANN~,OXSSPA9J.I~S 10/17195 k~ l0 10.c. No. The project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evaluation plan. The subject site is not located in an area which could impact an emergency response plan. The site will take access from a publicly maintained street and will therefore not impede any emergency response or emergency evacuation plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Population 11. No. The project will not result in altering the location, distribution, density or grovah rate of the human population of the area. Some new jobs will be created, and there is the potential for people to relocate closer to their job. However, because the project is an expansion of an existing local business, large nun~bers of people will not be reAocating to the City of Temecula. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Housing 12. No. Reference response 11. Projects of this nature do not cause large numbers of people to relocate; therefore, additional housing needs will not be created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Transportation/Circulation 13.a,c. No. The project will not generate a significant number of vehicles trips (5 % or greater increase in vehicle trips to the area) which would require the imposition of mitigation measures. No significant impacts are expected from development of the site. 13.b. Yes. The project will result in an increased demand for new parking. Fifty-Eight (58) parking spaces are proposed for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.d. Yes. The project will result in alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods. The site is currently vanant. People will be travelling to a site that was previously vacant. This will logically alter the present circulation pattern. Because the project is located adjacent to a fully improved City streets, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.e. No. The project will not result in alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic since none exists currently in the proximity of the site and none are proposed. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.f. Yes. The project will result in an increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. The hazards will increase as the project develops due to increased activity on the site. These impacts are not seen as significant. Impacts have been mitigated to a level less than significant through the site design, which is consistent with City standards. R:',I, LANNINOX$$PA95.1ES 10/17/95 klb ] 1 Public Services 14.a,b. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered fire or police protection. The project will incrementally increase the need for fire and police protection; however, it will contribute its fair share to the maintenance of service provision from these entities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.c. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project is a school facility. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.d. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered parks or other recreational facilities. Reference responses No. 11, 12, and 14.c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.e. Yes. The proposal will result in a need for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Portions of funding for maintenance of roads is derived from the Gasoline Tax which is distributed to the City of Temecula from the State of California. Impacts to current and future needs for maintenance of roads as a result of development of the site will be incremental, however, they will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.f. No. The proposal w~l not have a substantial affect upon or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. EriePEr 15.a. No. The proposal will not result in the use of substantial mounts of fuel or energy. As mentioned in responses 9.a. and 9.b. the proposal may result in an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource or the depletion of any nonrenewable resource. Development of the site will result in an increase in the rate of use of natural resources (construction materials, fuels for dally operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. 15.b. No. The project will not result in a substantial increase in demand upon existing sources of energy, nor will the project require the development of new sources of energy. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities 16.a No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. These systems are curren~y being delivered adjacent to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.b. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to communication systems (reference response No. 16.a.). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.c. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to water systems. Reference response 3.h. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.d. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to sanitary sewer systems. The project is located within Eastern Municipal Water District's (EMWD) sanitary sewer service area. Based upon information contained in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report, adequate facilities exist (and are proposed) which will adequately service the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.e. Yes. The proposal will result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to on-site storm water drainage systems. Although the project is considered in-fill, the proposal will need to provide on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.f. No. The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to solid waste disposal systems. Any potential impacts from solid waste created by this development can be mitigated through participation in any Source Reduction and Recycling Programs which are implemented by the City. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 16.g. No. The proposal will not result in a disjointed or inefficient pattern of utility delivery system improvements for any of the above. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Human Health 17. a.b. No. The proposal will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The County of Riverside Health Services Agency has reviewed the project and its recommendations shall be included as conditions of approval for the project (as per County of Riverside Health Services Agency transmittal dated September 20, 1995, a copy of which is on file with the Planning Department). In addition, the proposal will not expose people to potential health hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthe~c~ 18.a,b. No. The proposal will not result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, nor in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view. The project will be compatible in architectural style and scale with adjacent development and is typical of development in Temecula and Southern California. Landscaping and building articulation will provide buffers to existing view corridors. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 18.c. No. The proposal will not result in detrimental visual impacts on the surrounding area. Reference response 18.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 19. No. The proposal will not result in impacts to the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opporUmities. Reference responses No. 11 and 12. The projea will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate to the City of Temecula and therefore will not result in R:~LANNINOXiSPA95.1BS 10/17/95 klb 13 impacts to the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 20.a. No. The proposal will not result in the altoration or destruction of any paleontologic, prehistoric, archaeological or historic site. According to the City's General Plan Environmental Impact Report, this project is located in an area of low sensitivity for both archaeological and paleontological resources. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in adverse physical or aesthetic effects to a prehistoric or historic building, structure or object. Reference response 20.a. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 20.c. No. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values.

No. The proposal will not result in restrictions to existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. None currently exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. IV. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Yes Maybe N__q 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 susl'~ining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant, bird or animal species, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? X Does the project have the potential to achieve short term, to the disadvantage of long term, environmental goals? (A short term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long term impacts will endure well into the future.) X Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cnmulatively considerable? (A project's impact on two or more separate resources may be relatively small, but where the effect of the wtal of those impacts on the environment is significant.) X Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? R:~PLANNDI(~PA95.1B$ 10/17/95 klb ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because the Mitigation Measures described on the attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the project will mitigate any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on October 5, 1995. Planning Application No. PA95-0096 was deemed complete on October 17, 1995. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public comment between October 17, 1995 and November 5, 1995. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The site is located within the boundaries of the Old Town Specific Plan. The proposal includes the demolition, with the exception of the northerly demising wall, of a currently abandoned commercial building. The project will provide for the construction of an approximately 6,600 square foot commercial retail building and the improvement of vacant land for a corresponding parking lot. ANALYSIS Site Desion The site currently contains an abandoned 4, 100 square foot building and an undeveloped area to the rear (west) of the building. The project will require the demolition of the existing building, with the exception of the demising wall on the north side of the building, and the construction a 6,600 square foot building in the same location, The additional 2,500 square feet of building area will be located to the rear (west) of the existing building, The vacant area behind the building will contain a 56 space parking lot. Along the south property is an existing alley that will be improved to meet current City Standards, Along the north property line is the unimproved right-of-way for Fifth Street. The applicant has requested, and staff supports, the vacation of Fifth Street from Front Street to Murrieta Creek. The project will include parking lot landscaping and planter boxes in the front of the building, The applicant will also provide a boardwalk from the front of their building to the edge of paving on Front Street. Architecture The Old Town Specific Plan contains architectural style guidelines which the project must comply with. The proposed elevations (see Exhibits C & D) are similar to the existing building. As identified in the Specific Plan, the style of architecture is Old Town Western. The common design elements of this style include a false front western parapet, board and batten wood siding, 6x6 wood braced columns, and shed roofs (see Attachment F). As required by the Specific Plan, the elevations were reviewed by the Old Town Local Review Board at their October meeting. During their review, the Board made some minor recommendations to the design which have since been incorporated by the applicant. It was the Board's unanimous opinion that the design of the building, with the modifications, is consistent with the Old Town Western Style Architectural Guidelines. Historical Desionation The proposed project calls for the demolition of a building that is designated as a historical structure in the Old Town Specific Plan. The Specific Plan estimates that the original building was constructed in 1910. The original building was constructed of unreinforced masonry walls. Over the years, the building has been modified several times. Also, the building been partially destroyed in recent years due to fire, flood, and vandalism. Thus, the current structure contains little of the original building. Within the Specific Plan is the Old Town Historic Preservation Incentives Ordinance. The Ordinance contains several incentives to discourage the demolition of listed structures. Should a building owner choose not to take advantage of the incentives, the owner may demolish the historic structure. However, the owner must first receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Community Development Director. Because project approval has been deferred to the Commission, should they choose to approved this project, the Commission will be granting said Certificate. When the Old Town Local Review Board reviewed this project, the historical significance of the building was discussed. The Board concluded that little of the original building remained. The Board also concluded that the damage caused to the building over the years, and the cost of restoring the building to current building codes make the restoration of the building infeasible. Thus, it was the Board's recommendation that the Certificate of Appropriateness be granted to demolish the building. Staff concurs with the Board's recommendation. LandscaDino The applicant is providing landscaping in the parking lot area and landscape planters at the front of the building. It is staff's opinion that the planting and materials are consistent with the Landscape Guidelines of the Old Town Specific Plan. Parkinq The construction of the building will generated a need for 26 parking spaces per Ordinance No. 348. The project will supply 42 standard, 10 compact, and 4 handicapped spaces for a total of 56 spaces. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Existing zoning for the site is Specific Plan and the land use designation within the Specific Plan is Tourist Retail Core (TRC). The proposal for retail commercial is consistent with Specific Plan which provides for retail sales in the TRC zone. The proposed retail sales is also consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Community Commercial. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared for this project. The Initial Study determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design, Conditions of Approval, and the Mitigation Monitoring Program added to the project. These will mitigate any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance; therefore Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the proposed Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project is a proposal to construct a retail commercial building in Old Town. The landscape plan was reviewed by the City's Landscape architect and it was determined that the project is consistent with City Landscape Ordinances. In addition, the project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Old Town Specific Plan. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, approve the Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the project. FINDINGS The proposed use conforms to all the General Plan requirements and with all applicable requirements of State law and City ordinances. The land use designation for the site is identified in the General Plan as Community Commercial. The Old Town Specific Plan designation for the site is Tourist Retail Core. The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.30 (Plot Plan) of Ordinance No. 348. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. The proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures identified in the Initial Environmental Assessment for the project have been included in the Conditions of Approval that will reduce any impacts to a level less than significant. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, access, and intensity of use, because the proposed Planning Application (Plot Plan), as conditioned, complies with the standards contained within the City's General Plan, Old Town Specific Plan and Ordinance No. 348. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic. Access to the project site is from a publicly maintained road (Front Street). The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. Attachments: PC Resolution - Blue Page 6 Exhibit A.

The proposal may result in unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures. The site has been previously Faded and there is an existing building of the site. Potential unstable earth conditions will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the soils. The landscaping will serve as erosion control. Construction and Fading for the development will not be at depths which would affect any geologic substructures. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.b. Yes. All grading activity requires some form of disruption, displacement, compaction and/or overcovering of the soil. Impacts are not considered significant due to the site having been previously been graded and the small mount of disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of the soil required for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in a change in the site topography and ground surface relief features. Although the site has been previously graded and developed, additional grading will be necessary for the realization of this project. Sinco the mount of grading will be minimal, modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in the destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features. No unique geologic features or physical features exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1 .e,f. Maybe. The project may result in increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site during the consu'uction phase of the project. This project may result in changes in siltation, deposition or erosion. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for the project. In the long-run, hardscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.g. No. The project will not result in modifications to any wash, channel, creek, river or lake. While the project is adjacent to Murrieta Creek, the conditions of approval will be place upon the that will prohibit modifications to the creek. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.h. Yes. Any development of the site will expose people and property to earthquake hazards sinco the project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active. Any potential impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Information contained in the City of Temeoula General Plan Environmental Impact Report (certified November 9, 1993) states that the project will not expose people or property to geologic hazards such as landslides or mudslides. No known landslides are located on the site or proximate ~ the site. The same is true for mudslides. There is no potential for ground failure and liquefaction in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.i. Air 2.a,b. Water 3.a. 3.b. 3.c. 3.d. 3.e. No. The project area is not within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as identified by the State of California, Resource Agency Depa~uuent of Conservation Special Studies Zone Map. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in a potential for air emissions both in the short and long-run. Air emissions will occur during the construction phase of the project and objectionable odors may also result. Impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant, Cumulative air emissions will also increase due to the project over the long run; however, these are also not considered significant. The proposed retail building is part of a larger Wurist retail district and will draw cuswmers already visiting the area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not contribute to alterations of air movement, temperature, or moisture, or in any change in climate either locally or regionally. The scale of the projea precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No. The project will not result in changes to currents, to the course or direction of water movements in either marine or fresh waters. While the project site is located adjacent to Murrieta Creak, conditions of approval will be placed upon the project to insure that the are no changes to currents, to the course or direction of water. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage paRems and the rate and mount of sudsre runoff. Previously permeable Found will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, impacts are mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyance will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle the runoff which will be created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in the alterations to the course or flow of flood waters. While the project site is located within identified floodway and dam inundation areas, the project will be required to obtain a floodplain development permit. The requirements of the permit will require the building to be located outside of the floodway and dam inundation areas. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody. No major waterbodies are located in the subject project area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Maybe. The project may result in discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with R:XPLANNR~O\96pA95.1B$ 10/17195 the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3 .f,g. No. The project will not result in an alteration of the direction or rate of flow of groundwaters. Construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. In addition, no changes will occur in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions, withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.h. No. The project will not result in the reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies. Water service currently exists at the project site. Additional water service will need to be provided by Rancho California Water District (RCWD). This will be provided upon completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. No. The project will not expose people or property to water related hazards such as flooding. Reference response 3.c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Plant Life 4.a-d. No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any native species of plants, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species of plants, in the introduction of new species of plants into the area of native vegetation, in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species, or in the reduction in the acreage of any agricultural crop. The project site has bean previously graded and developed. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, or native vegetation on the site. In addition, this property is not curren~y used as farm land and is not identified in the General Plan as an area of agricultural significance. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts as a result of this project. AnlmalLife No. The project will not result in a change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species of animals, in the reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare, threatened, or endangered species of animals, in the introduction of new wildlife species into the area, in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals or in the deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat. The proposed project is in an area that has bean experiencing urbanization for a number of years. The site is curren~y graded and there is no indication that any wildlife species exists at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species, provide a barrier to the migration of animals or deteriorate existing habitat. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. Habitat Conservation fees will be required to mitigate the effect of cumulative impacts to the species. Therefore, there will be no significant impacts to animal life as a result of this project. NOi 6.a. Yes. The projea will result in increases to existing noise levels. The site contnin~ an abandoned building and vacant land. Any development of the land will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Short-term impacts resulting from construction will mitigated through the limitation of construction to daytime hours. It is not anticipated that noise generated by retail sales will generate significant amounts of noise. No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long run. 6.b,c. Maybe. The project may expose people to severe noise levels and vibrations during the construction phase (short run) for each development on the site. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing damage from steady 8-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. The exposure to severe vibrations will be of short duration and will also not be considered significant. Light and Glare Yes. The project will ultimately produce and result in light/glare. All development of this nature result in new light sources. The project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Land Use 8.a,b No. While the existing building is abandoned, the site has bean used for commercial purposes for the past 90 years. The use is consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation and Zoning Ordinance, and the Old Town Specific Plan. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Natural Resources 9.a,b. Yes. The project will result in an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s). Development of the site will result in an increase in the rate of use of natural resources (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depiction of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. Risk of Unset 10.a,b. No. The current proposal will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident nor in the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. It is not anticipated that the commercial retail use of the site will be involved in handling any of these materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 10.c. No. The project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evaluation plan. The site will take access from a publicly maintained street and will therefore not impede any emergency response or emergency evacuation plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:XPLANNINGX96pAg$.IP, S 10/17/95 klb l0 Population 11. No. The project will not result in altering the location, distribution, density or growth rate of the human population of the area. While some new jobs will be created, due to the limited scale of the project, large numbers of people will not be relocating to the City of Temecula. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12. No. Reference response 11. Projects of this natore do not cause large numbers of people to relocate; therefore, additional housing needs will not be created. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Transnorta~on/Circula~on 13.a,c. No. The project will not generate a significant number of vehicles trips (5 % or greater increase in vehicle trips to the area) which would require the imposition of mitigation measures. No significant impacts are expected from development of the site. 13.b. Yes. The project will result in an increased demand for new parking. Fifty-seven (57) parking spaces are proposed for the project which is meets the perking requirements of Ordinance No. 348. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.d. Yes. The project will result in alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods. People will be travelling to a site that was previously unused which will logically alter the present circulation pattern. As mentioned in response No. 13.a,c. the project will not generate a significant mount of new vehicle trips. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.e. No. The project will not result in alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic since none exists currently in the proximity of the site and none are proposed. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.f. Yes. The projec~ will result in an increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. The hazards will increase as the site is developed due to increased activity on the site. Impacts have been mitigated to a level less than significant through the site design, which is consistent with City standards. Public Services 14.a,b. No. The proposal will not have a substantial effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered fire or police protection. The project will incrementaly increase the need for fire and police protection; however, it will contribute its fair share to the maintenance of service provision from these entities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.c, No. Because the project will not have a significant impact on population or housing (see response No. ll and 12), the proposal will not have a significant effect upon or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. R:~LANN1NO\96PAgS.I~S 10/17/95 ~ 1 ] 14.d. 14.e. 14.f. Enerav 15.a,b. Utilities 16.a 16.b. 16.c. 16.d. 16.e. 16.f.

In addition, the proposal will not expose people to potential health hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. AesthetiCs 18.a,b,c. No. The proposal will not result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, nor in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view. The project will be in an architectural style and scale required by the Old Town Specific Plan. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 19. No. The proposal will not result in impacts to the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or oppormnitias. Reference responses No. 11 and 12. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 20.a,b. Yes. The proposal will result in the alteration and destruction of a historic site. The project is listed in the Old Town Specific Plan as a historically significant structure. The current structure was originally used as a gas station and garage. The building was constructed of unreinforced masonry walls in approximately the year 1910. Over the years, the building has undergone significant interior and exterior modification. In recent years, the building has been abandoned and has fallen into a state of disrepair. The building is in such poor structural condition that the rehabilitation is unfeasible. Also, the proposed demolition of the building is also consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance contained in the Old Town Specific Plan. According to the City's General Plan Environmental Impact Report, this project is located in an area of low sensitivity for both archaeological and paleentological resources. Therefore, the demolition and reconstruction of this structure is not considered to be significant. 20.c. No. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values. No unique ethnic cultural values exist on-site or in proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 20.d. No. The proposal will not result in restrictions to existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. None currently exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:XPLANNINOX96PAg$.IE3 10/17/95 IV. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNw'iCANCE 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 sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant, bird or animal species, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Yes Maybe X Does the project have the potential to achieve short term, to the disadvantage of long term, environmental goals? (A short term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of tLme while long term impacts will endure well into the future.) X Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project'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 environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? R:XPLANN~IOX96PA95.1~q 10/17/95 lab 14 ENVIRO~AL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: l find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because the Mitigation Measures described on the attached sheets and in the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the project will mitigate any potentially significant impacts to a level of insignificance, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Prepared by: Signature ' ' ~ Craig D. Ruiz.
