PUBIC HEARING ITEMS
Planning Application PA97-0087 - Texaco F, xpress Lube and Goodyear Tire
Project Planner John DeGange presented the staff report.
Commissioner Slaven asked if the roof color is similar to surrounding roofs or will coxl~oratc colors be
used. Mr. DeGange replied the roof color will be term cotta red, which is compatible with surrounding
roofs.
Commissioner Slaven stated the Goodyear building's tower height dwarfs the other building and ask-
if a second story office is planned for the tower. Mr. DcGangc stated he was unaware of any plax,
utilize the space.

PL~rNIN~ COI~ISSION l~y 19, 1997
Commissioner Webster asked ff the existing sign ordinance allows three wall-mounted signs plus a street
monument sign. Associate Planner Saied Naaseh replied the proposed signage is allowed under the
existing sign ordinance and the proposed sign ordinance permits a total of four (4) signs for each bus'mess
if they do not have a freeway sign.
Commissioner Soltygiak questioned if the trash enclosure was fenced with wrought iron. Mr. DeGange
answered the trash enclosure is of solid construction with a metal door as tires are to be screened from
public view.
Commissioner Slaven asked for an explanation why "Potentially Significant unless Mitigation
Incorporated" under 1.c. incompatible with existing land use (Environment Checklist, page 21) was
checked. Mr. DeGangc replied although this type of use could potentially have an impact on surrounding
uses, it is not addressed in the Mitigation Monitoring Program because measures, such as increased
landscaping and architectural enhancements, arc incorporated into the project design to mitigate its
impact.
Commissioner Slaven questioned the intent of Cultruns' statement regarding the City developing policies
and procedures to preserve Hwy 79 right of way in their letter dated March 19, 1997. Principal Engineer
Ron Parks replied that is a standard condition Calms puts on all plot plans and maps for this section of
Hwy 79, as well as Hwy 795, and in regard to their first paragraph regarding the east side driveway, this
project' s driveway location is in conformance with the MOU between the City and Cultruns and there are
no new driveways or points of access proposed for this development.
Commissioner Soltysiak asked if this property will be blocking the ditch that runs parallel to the
channel almost to Costo as shown on Section A of the Site Plan. Mr. Parks stated the project is
conditioned to prepare a precise grading plan and engineering staff will review all drainage
patterns to make certain no one' s drainage is blocked.
Commissioner Soltysiak asked about the 10' setback. Assistant Engineer Anna Bostre-Le replied the 10'
is the building setback from the rear property line.
Commissioner Miller asked if the medical office developers were given an actual notice of this public
heating. Mr. DeGange stated the developers had been notified by mail, plus there was a posted notice
on the property, and he did not receive any input.
Chairperson Fahey opened the public comment section at 6:36 P.M.
Greg Izor, 3066 Hill Valley Drive, Escondido, representing the applicant, agreed with the Conditions of
Approval, and addressed the issues raised during staff' s presentation:
view between the two buildings - created a nattower center driveway for use as a one-way exit
for the lubc and tire centers; and provided additional landscap'rag screening to hide the view
between the two buildings.

tower height - raised at smff's recommendation; them is no second story office planned as it is.
large enough.
ditch behind property - temporan/left over depression from rough grading and will be ~led in;
required to drain to Winchester Road.
Commissioner Miller asked ff the applicant would be willing to lower the height of the Goodyear Tower
and Mr. hor replied the applicant would be agreeable.
Commissioner Solty~iak noted the ditch may be draining some of the adjacent properties and asked staff
to look into the matter.
Commissioner Miller mentioned the trees shown as existing are not really there and the trees shown on
the rendering are not shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Izor stated the trees shown are required by
Condition 8 and the applicant has no objections to the additional trees requested by the City's landscape
architect. Commissioner Webster suggested the discrepancy may be because the landscape plan and the
rendering were done at different times and Mr. Izor agreed that was true.
Commissioner Webster questioned whether the handicapped parking space located in the back northeast
comer is for public or employee parIcing. Mr. hor answered it is for either.
Chairperson Fahey closed the public comment section at 6:50 P.M.
Senior Planner Dave Hogan added Condition 13A, "The applicant shall apply for and pay the appropriate
fee for the Director to consider and approve a minor exception for the rear yard setback."
Commissioner Miller inquired what is deemed an appropriate fee and Mr. Hogan stated the fee is $190
to pay for staff' s time and review of the issue. He explained the rationale for this condition is because
existing buildings are closer than 8 1/2' to the property line, and therefore, it seems reasonable to allow
the applicant the same condition which will provide more room for circulation around the buildings. The
trash enclosure' s present location is not a problem.
Commissioner Slaven stated the Goodyear Tower dwarfs the other tower significantly and looks out of
place and asked why staff recommended the additional height. Mr. DeGange raplied although he was not
part of that decision, he believes it is a way to break up the monotony and to make some variation of the
two buildings.
Chairman Fahey suggested cutting the difference between the two towers in half; Commissioner Webster
suggested a range from 5 to 10 feet lower.
Commissioner Miller stated the bottle trees proposed behind the building cannot be planted further than
8 1/2' from the building if planted on the property and that particular species has a 30' head. } '
DeGange suggested the landscape architect revisit that issue with a recommendation made on the f.
landscape plan. Chairman Fahey reiterated staff is to make certain the type of trees proposed will provide
adequate screening and clearance.

!~Y 19~ 1997
Commissioner Webster suggested moving the one handicap parking space in the back to the front because
if it is ever used, a pedestrian problem will be created due to the traffic flow into the lube bays; and since
each building' s lobby is located in the front, there should be a handicap ramp to each one.
Commissioner Miller asked if ADA doesn't require access from the public street and the only place at
this site is off the driveway. Mr. Parks stated at the time a precise grading plan is submitted, engineering
and building safety staff thoroughly review ADA requirements and the plan is corrected to meet all ADA
requirements. He said there is a requirement to provide access from the public right-of-way if there is
a landing there for people to stop and since that may not be the case along Winchester Road in front of
the building, one may have to drive on site before stopping; and that will be addressed at the time ADA
requirements are reviewed.
Chairman Fahey reiterated if there is an option between putting a handicap space in the back and having
it more accessible in the front, staff should consider it.
Commissioner Webster asked the City Attorney if a negative declaration can bc adopted tonight if an
explanation was not attached to the checklist. Mr. Weiner replied he was not aware of any requirement
that a separate written explanation be prepared; there only needs to be something in the record to explain
how all the checked items are mitigated. The Commission can continue the item and have staff prepare
additional documentation or the Commission ~es a Notice of Determination off the negative declaration
and if it is challenged, the decision can be undone and then redone; the legal risk of adopting the negative
declaration is somewhat small.
Mr. Weiner stated he needed to add language to the resolution pertaining to the conditional use permit.
In Section 2, additional findings to be inserted between Section B and Section C (Sections C and D then
become F and G) are:
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature and condition and development of the
adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed use will not adversely effect the adjacent
uses, buildings, or structures. Non-residential uses are adjacent to the site on all sides and
conditions have been placed on the development which will insure that adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures will not be adversely effected by the proposed use.
The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
project. Staff has review the project and has determined the project is consistent with the
standards of the Development Code. The project, as cenditioned, is consistent with the standards
of the Development Code and an exception shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general
welfare of the community. The project is consistent with the goals and policies contained within
the General Plan and the development standards contained in the Development Code. These
documents were adopted by the City Council to insure the projects are not detrimental to the
health, safety, and general welfare of the community. Compliance with these documents will
assure this is achieved.

PY.ANNING COMMISSION
MAY 19p 1997
Commissioner Miller stated he is not satisfied this use, as it is conditioned, is compatible with the mcdk
buildings to the west as the lube bays face that building. The other uses would have to bc protected by
a 6' wall on the western property line to mitigate the considerable mount of noise generated from
changing fires.
Commissioner Webster commented there may be problems with the footing for a 6' wall if trees are
planted per Condifion 8. Mr. Parks stated footings are 18" to 11/2' for a 6' wall. Since the Commission
is concerned about noise, he suggested requiring an adequate sound barrier along that perimeter.
Planning Manager Debbie Ubnoske suggested the project be conditioned to have an acoustical analysis
performed and the applicant required to complete the mitigation proposed in the report; another option
would be to move the buildings. However, she stated with the distance between the two buildings, the
existing Winchester Road noise, and the property landscaped, she is not sure there will be much of a noise
problem.
Commissioner Webster suggested relocating the customer parking spaces to the west side would provide
additional distance between this project and the medical office building.
Commissioner Slaven stated the landscaping in the strip could be changed to a hedge-type barrier -- i.e,
pivot hedge or oleander -- instead of Indian Hawthorne and Day Lilies as a wall invites graffiti and
landscaping is attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Chairman Fahey reiterated that ff the Commission is concerned about acoustic impact and does not believe
it has been adequately mitigated, a condition can be added to require an acoustic analysis and have the
impact mitigated by additional landscaping or any other means necessary to prevent any noise impact to
the adjacent property.
Commissioner Webster commented it does not matter where the cars arc parked due to the onsite traffic
flow and agreed with the acoustic analysis suggestion.
Mr. Weiner mentioned an acoustic report could override aH the other conditions depending upon its
recommendations; and suggested another option is to condition the use so that noise levels coming off the
property shall not exceed a certain level and then the developer would have to determine how to maintain
that level.
Mr. Hogan stated staff looked at the General Plan and all these properties arc in the 65 db community
noise level, so people in the adjacent building should not hear any noise except in the middle of the night
with open windows.
It was moved by Commissioner Slaven, and seconded by Commission Soltysiak, to adopt the Negative
Declaration for Planning Application No. PA97-0060; to adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for
Planning Application No. PA97-0060; and to adopt Resolution No. 97-NEXT approving Planni-
Application No. PA97-0060 based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report ~
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval with the following added conditions: minor exception to
the rear yard set back be obtained prior to the issuance of the building permit with applicant paying a
reasonable fee for that exception; the GoodYear Tower height to be reduced 5 to 10 feet after a

proportional study is completed; the westerly protn'ty line to be landscaped with a hedge to mitigate noise
impact and have an aesthetic view; add new C, D and E findings to the resolution; and to close the public
hearing.
Commissioner Soltysiak cautioned there may be a need to coordinate the hedge with the medical office
building' s landscaping plans and to make certain the proposed landscaping for both sites is compatible.
Mr. Hogan stated the hedge will be required for this project as the medical office building has an
approved landscaping plan.
Ms. Ubnoske stated staff will discuss the issue with both the City's and the applicant's landscape
architects and explain the Commission' s concern relative to noise and have them design a plan.
Commissioner Webster asked for a reading of the explanation of the reasoning behind Environmental
Checklist No. 10 Noise being checked as "Less than Significant Impact". Mr. DeGange read the
explanation and explained that since the General Plan identified that area as having existing high noise
levels, staff did not think this project would significan~y increase the level.
Commissioner Webster stated he is in favor of this project and an acoustic study as he does not feel
competent to determine if a hedge is adequate mitigation.

Senior Planner Dave Hogan presented the staff report and reported two changes to the Conditions of
Approval: Condition 7 - change Window System color to white instead of anodized bronze; and add to
Condition 4A "All combinations of usage on the site shall comply with the mount of parking,
motorcycle and bicycle spaces being provided.' which is to ensure that any tenant must fit into the
parking set-up.
Commissioner Webster asked if there is more than one tenant, does the signage area remain the same.
Mr. Hogan replied the signing area would remain the same.
Commissioner Slaven asked if landscaping will be such that library patrons are not looking at roll-up
doors. Mr. Hogan answered applicant plans to plant aleppo pines at 4' on center, which should create
a significant wall.
Commissioner Soltysiak inquired about the outdoor employee area. Mr. Hogan stated those details are
left until the landscape plan phase, but the area is planned at the top of the slope to provide a pleasant
view.
Chairperson Fahey opened the public hearing at 8:07 P.M.
Joseph Holasek, 2398 San Diego Avenue, corrected Condition 4a to state 181 parking spaces insteat
188 spaces and stated the remaining conditions are satisfactory.
Commissioner Miller asked how many slide up doors were on the library-facing side. Mr. Holasek stated
there were three (3) roll-up doors and the rest of the side is tilt up concrete panels.
Commissioner Slaven inquired why the green and yellow colors were chosen and Mr. Holasek stated the
applicant wanted soft, appealing and timeless colors to complement the tan and white and to accentuate
the metal canopy entry structure.
Commissioner Webster questioned if the trees by the roll up doors are planned to be 15-gal. trees. Mr.
Holasek replied they are 15 gal. along with 24" and larger box trees.
Chairman Fahey closed the public comment section at 8:16 P.M.
Mr. Hogan stated staff concurred with the parking space correction and would mend Condition 4a to
read 181 parking spaces.
Commissioner Miller noted the elevations show four or five different signs on the parapet and asked if
a single tenant could have four signs. Mr. Hogan replied a single tenant could not have four signs and
the applicant is aware of the limitation.

Commissioner Webster made the following recommendations to the landscaping plan: i) change
California sycamore to London plain tree, which is the same family, but a more appropriate tree for a
confined area; and 2) add evergreen shrubs with the pomegranate deciduous ones to provide year-round
color.
It was moved by Commissioner Miller, and seconded by Commissioner Slaven to adopt the Negative
Declaration for Planning Application No. PA97-0087; to adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for
Planning Application No. PA97-0087; and to adopt Resolution No. 97-NEXT recommending approval
of Planning Application No. PA97-0087 based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff
Report; and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval as mended: 4A, changing 188 to 181 and
adding "All combinations of usage on the site shall comply with the mount of parking, motorcycle and
bicycle spaces being provided."; the change in color in Condition 7; and to close the public hearing.
Mr. Hogan stated he heard one commissioner express a comment about the plants, but did not hear any
support or opposition. Commissioner Miller stated he had no problem with the plant palette as shown
on the plan. Commissioner Slaven stated if the London plain t~ec is similar in appearance, serves the
same aesthetic purpose, and is healthier, it would be wise for the applicant to consider that change.
Chairman Fahey stated the landscape architect should consider the sycamore vs the London plain; and
Chairman Fahey and Commissioner Slaven expressed their support to include evergreen shrubs with
deciduous ones.
Commissioner Webster suggested the two trees screening the loading docks should be 24' box rather than
15 gallon. Commissioners Miller and Slaven agreed to amend their motion by adding a condition that
the two trees at the loading dock be 24" box.

Road, south of Solana Way, to widen the entire roadway so there will be a permanent full-motion traffic signal.
Chairman Fahey inquired about any plans for a signal at Pauba Road and Margarita Road. Mr. Parks replied
that signal is a high priority and will be done either by the City or the developer of the project at that location
which was recently approved by the City Council.
Commissioner Miller thanked Ms. Ubnoske for her help in having more reasonable temperatures in the room.
It was moved by Commissioner Slaven, and seconded by Commissioner Miller, to adjourn the meeting at 8:33

term, and are nonrecurring. The CIP document serves as a planning tool and assists the
coordination, financing, and scheduling of major projects. This consistency review is intended
to determine whether the City of Temecula's CIP supports and implements the adopted General
Plan.
The CIP improvements fall into the following general categories:
· Circulation
· Infrastructure
· Parks
· Redevelopment Agency/RDA Housing
Attached for the Commission's review is a list of the CIP improvements with a brief description
of the project, by category.

BACKGROUND
Forest City Development entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Temecula on
December 16o 1997 for the development of a regional mall and power center in the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan area. Subsequent to this Development Agreement, the applicant
provided preliminary development plans for the mall component of the project. Staff reviewed
these plans and provided comments to the applicant. In addition, a Planning Commission
workshop was held on April 7, 1997 to discuss the preliminary plans. The Commission
provided direction to the applicant in the following areas: aesthetics, landscaping, interface of
the mall with the existing residences to the east, and interface of the power center with
Margarita Road and the existing residences to the east.
R:\STAFFRPT~llSPA97.PCI 5/28/97mf 2
The project was formally submitted to the Planning Department on April 17, 1997. This
submittal included detailed site plans, landscape plans and elevations for Robinsons-May and
Sears Department Stores as well as exhibits for the mall component. A Development Review
Committee (DRC) meeting was held on May 8, 1997. In addition to reviewing the project to
determine if Staff's concerns were addressed, Staff reviewed the plans at the DRC stage to
assure the applicant addressed the concerns raised by the Planning Commission at their April
7, 1997 Workshop. The majority of the Commission's concerns were addressed by the
applicant at this stage. The concerns which were not addressed: Sears Department Store and
Auto Service Center elevations and landscape plan, and community design feature at the
intersection of Winchester and Ynez Roads. These are before the Commission for direction at
this time. Other concerns have been addressed through conditions of approval for the project.
The project was deemed complete on May 19, 1997.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project components which are before the Planning Commission for their consideration are:
the mall and power center site plan, mall and power center elevations, mall and power center
landscape plan, mall and power center color and material boards, Robinsons-May site/landscape
plan, Robinsons-May elevations and Robinsons-May color and material board. Several perimeter
development envelopes are also identified on the site plan.
ANALYSIS
Mall Site Plan and Elevations
Elevations have been provided for the mall shops and mall entries. The colors and materials
used for the mall shops are compatible with surrounding development and the Temecula region
in general. The mall entries provide a focal point and sense of entry to the mall.
Power Center Site Plan and Elevations
The Power Center is located on the eastern portion of the project site. Access to the Power
Center will be from both Winchester and Margarita Roads and the mall ring road. The rear of
Major Retail buildings A-E will face Margarita Road. Staff has directed the applicant to
adequately screen the rear of these buildings which includes the loading areas. The applicant
has provided a section and plan along Margarita Road which shows how the rear of the
buildings will be screened. In addition, the rear of the buildings have been articulated in a
manner similar to the front of the buildings. Elevations utilize similar colors and materials used
on the mall project. The facades of the buildings have been broken up through the use of entry
features, varied roof heights, landscaping and some trellises. Gathering areas are provided
within the Power Center. Amenities envisioned in these areas include: trellises, enhanced
landscaping and sheltered seating areas.
Future Elevations
There are several components of the mall project which Staff has not received elevations for
at this time. These include the cinemas, JC Penhey's, Anchor No. 4, the Entertainment Plaza,
and the area identified as '50,000 retail" on the site plan. A condition of approval has been
included for the project which requires future elevations of these components to use
architectural elements which are found on the mall. These architectural elements include, but
are not limited to: colors, materials, cornices and roofing materials. The condition of approval
further stipulates that these future elevations will return to Planning Commission for approval.
Development of Outlots. Pads and Other Major Retail
The applicant has identified potential building envelopes for the outlots and potential square
footage for pads and major retail tenants. Since the applicant has no definitive plans at this
time, a condition of approval has been added to the project which requires the applicant to
submit a design manual for approval by the Planning Commission. The purpose of the design
manual is to enumerate the design elements which are appropriate for the development.. Plans
submitted for future development will utilize the design manual for design parameters.
Ultimately, the Community Development Director shall have the authority to approve any
development which is consistent with the Design Manual without a public hearing. If the
Director determines the project is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, or that the project
would require a Conditional Use Permit according to the provisions of Specific Plan No. 263,
the matter would be set for a Planning Commission hearing.
Traffic was analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR No. 340) for the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan (SP No. 263). The 1993 EtR indicated that, based upon the
mitigation measures proposed for the project, the level of impacts related to Circulation and
Traffic have been reduced to an insignificant level (Page V-117). Cumulative unavoidable
significant impacts were identified from the development of Specific Plan No. 255 and Specific
Plan No. 1 concurrently with SP No. 263. These impacts will be lessened by adherence to the
Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures. The City Council addressed this unavoidable
impact in the Findings of Overriding Consideration associated with the certification of the EIR.
The 1994 Addendum EIR further elaborated upon the impacts from the project and
additional/revised Mitigation Measures were required.
A subsequent Traffic Study was submitted for the project (dated May 9, 1997) and reviewed
by Staff. Staff required the applicant to provide an analysis which would determine if the
project (as proposed) was consistent with the previous analysis performed for the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan. The Study concludes project trip generation falls within the
Specific Plan totals included in the EIR Traffic Study. The Study further states: 'while the
proposed land use is consistent with the Specific Plan designations, it is evident that the
proposed project trip generation would account for a somewhat higher pro-rated share of the
total Specific Plan trip generation for the p.m. peak-hour (4,428 weekday evening peak hour
trips versus 4,213 weekday evening peak hour trips) than originally conceived in the Specific
Plan." The Study lastly states: 'This issue should be re-evaluated as specific development
proposals are defined for the remaining portion of the site."
A traffic analysis will be required for subsequent development within the Temecula Regional
Center Specific Plan area, not covered under the current project description above (the
remainder of the property not developed by Forest City Development, Inc.). If these projects
are under the threshold established by the original EIR Traffic Study (less those impacts
identified under the Forest City Development Project) then a consistency finding may be made
for these projects. If the future projects exceed this threshold, then subsequent environmental
analysis may be required.
On-Site Circulation
The project will initially take access from Winchester, Ynez and Margarita Roads. Ultimately,
the project will also be accessible from the future extension of Overland Drive. Two (2) major
entries and three (3) minor entries are proposed on Winchester Road. Two (2) major entries are
proposed on Ynez Road. One (1) major entry and two (2) minor entries are proposed on
Margarita Road. Additional right turn lanes are proposed into the major entries on Winchester
Road and at the northernmost major entry on Ynez Road. A central "ring road" will encompass
the mall and will provide access to the power center and perimeter lots (outlots). A condition
of approval is included for the project which limits the number of access points to the ring road
from the outlots to one (1) per lot. In accordance with the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA)
recommendations, bus turnouts have been provided on Winchester Road and Ynez Road. At
the request of Staff, the applicant has provided a bus turnout on-site, which will be located on
the ring road, behind Major Retail buildings G and H.
Project Phasing
A site plan for initial development has been included in the Planning Commission's exhibits. In
this initial phase of development, the applicant anticipates construction of three (3) department
stores, the power center, the mall shops, the Cinema/Entertainment area, the 50,000 square
foot retail area, as well as, internal roadway improvements.
City of Temecula Imorovements
Pursuant to the Development Agreement between Forest City Development, Inc. and the City
of Temecula on December 16, 1997, the City shall design, construct, install and maintain the
perimeter road improvements to Winchester Road, Ynez Road, Margarita Road (Winchester to
Solana) and Overland Drive (between Ynez Road and Margarita Road). in addition, the City will
construct new or remodel existing traffic signals, underground overhead power and
communications lines on the south side of Winchester Road from Ynez Road to Margarita Road
and construct regional storm drainage facilities.
Landscaping
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan for the entire project as well as landscape
enlargements for major and minor entries, the mall entries, Winchester, Ynez and Margarita
Road, typical landscape islands and the entertainment plaza. These plans have been reviewed
by Staff at the Pre-application and DRC stages. The Planning Commission also saw these plans
at their April 7, 1997 workshop.
A Committee consisting of Commissioner Miller, the City's Landscape Architect and Staff met
prior to the May 8, 1997 DRC meeting to generate comments on these plans. Comments
ranged from plant size and species recommendations, to requests for additional information.
Staff provided the Committee's comments to Forest City Development, tnc., Robinsons-May,
and Sears at the DRC meeting. The landscape plan has been coordinated with the site plan and
sidewalk plan and the appropriate tree choices have been used along the sidewalks. In addition,
the applicant has provided a section and plan for the area along Margarita Road which shows
how the rear of the Power Center will be screened.
Staff reviewed the re-submittals to determine if the comments had been addressed on the plans
which are currently before the Planning Commission and has determined the fifty percent
shading requirement for parking stalls has not been met on these plans. A Condition of
Approval has been added to the project which reads: 'Per the Temecula Regional Center
Specific Plan, a 50% minimum average actual parking stall (space) area shall be shaded. The
applicant shall submit landscape plans to the Community Development Department - Planning
Division for review and approval which reflect this requirement prior to the issuance of a
building permit for the Mall or Power Center component of the project, whichever comes first."
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the mall and power center, construction landscape
and irrigation plans (minimum 1 "= 50' scale) are required to be submitted to the Community
Development Department - Planning Division for approval. These plans will include all major
and minor entry features and monumentation and the corner landscape and monumentation
features (Winchester and Ynez Roads and Winchester and Margarita Roads). In addition,
detailed landscape and irrigation plans will be required for the Robinsons-May, Sears, the Sears
Auto Service Center, Anchor Number 3 and Anchor Number 4, the Cinema, and the area
identified as "future 50,000 square feet retail," and the outlots.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for either the plaza area, the cinema or the area
identified on Exhibit D as "Entertainment Plaza Retail" (whichever comes first), a detailed site
plan and detailed landscape and irrigation plan (1"=20' scale) shall be submitted to the
Community Development Department Planning Division for review and approval.
Recommended amenities for the plaza area include: planter boxes w/trees and seating area,
benches, stage area, tables, chairs, shade structures to include trellises w/vines &misters,
shaded turf open space, awnings, shaded seating areas, street lamps, trash receptacles, a
fountain/water feature, art/sculptures, a variety of color, hanging plants, seasonal color
(plantings), decorative bollards, enhanced paving areas, archways/gateways, outdoor movie
screen, a gazebo, outdoor vendor carts, heaters, fans, and clock(s).
Staff is requesting the Planning Commission provide direction regarding the special treatment
at the corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads, as well as on the landscape plans for the Sears
Department and Sears Auto Service Center (discussed below).
Sians
Potential locations for signs have been identified on the site plan. These locations are
conceptual at this time. A condition of approval has been included for the project which
requires a comprehensive sign program be approved by the Planning Manager prior to the
Issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The sign program will address appropriate sign
colors, materials, heights and locations for all signage (wall-mounted, monument and
directional).
Sidewalk Plan
A sidewalk plan has been prepared for the project. This plan depicts pedestrian routes of travel
throughout the project and connects all of the components of the project. Pedestrian access
has been included from Winchester, Ynez and Margarita Roads. In addition, provisions have
been made for pedestrian linkages from North General Kearny Road, the future connection to
Overland Road and the proposed bus turnouts. The Sidewalk Plan has been coordinated with
the Landscape Plan and trees are utilized adjacent to the sidewalks which will provide a
R:~STAFFRPT~llSPA97JPCI 5/28/97m/ 6
pleasant walking environment.
Robinsons-May Elevations and Site Plan
Staff is pleased with the elevations submitted for the Robinsons-May Department store. The
massing of the building has been broken up through the use of reveals and a variety of roof
heights. The entries have been well articulated. The use of landscaping also serves to break
up the massing of the building and enhances the overall quality of the building. Robinsons-May
is responsible for all improvements from the back of the curb and these are reflected on the
site/landscape plan. Seating areas have been included at all store entrances. A bike rack is
located at the southern (upper level) entrance. Other bike racks will be located at the mall
entrances. The signage shown on the building is also part of this application and is before the
Commission for approval. The signage as proposed is consistent with the criteria contained
within the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan.
Corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads
Since the pre-application stage of this project, Staff has informed the applicant that the corner
of Winchester and Ynez Roads needs to be treated in a special manner. Staff felt this was not
achieved at the DRC stage, and requested the applicant re-visit the design. Staff directed the
applicant to re-submit a plan and section for this corner which was more elaborate and detailed.
Specific recommendations included, but were not limited to: a water feature, a people friendly
space and art. The purpose would be to create a major focal point which could help generate
a sense of excitement. Staff stated that the currently proposed design would be more
appropriate as the secondary monument at the intersection of Winchester and Margarita. Since
this issue has not been fully addressed on the plans which are before the Planning Commission,
Staff is requesting the Planning Commission review the plans and provide direction to Staff
regarding this matter at the June 2, 1997 Public Hearing.
Sears Del;)artment Store and Auto Service Center Elevations
At the May 8, 1997 Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting Staff raised concerns
regarding the architectural style of the Sears Department Store and Sears Auto Center (Auto
Center) buildings. Staff felt the buildings did not reflect the architectural elements used on the
Mall and Robinsons-May and directed the architect for the project to use similar architectural
elements (i.e., cornices, varied roof line, etc.). Staff felt these elements would help make these
buildings more compatible with the overall mall project. Staff also directed the architect to
reduce the area of the blue stripe on the Auto Center building to match the storefront area and
incorporate other elements from the main building onto the Auto Center building (i.e., reveals,
architectural, etc.). It was further recommended the colors be softened to provide some
additional warmth to the building. The architect for the project informed Staff that the design
for the Sears buildings is the prototypical design currently being used by Sears. Per the
direction of Sears, the architect made minimal changes to the elevations and re-submitted
elevations for the Planning Commission's consideration which are very similar to the DRC
submittal. Staff is requesting the Planning Commission review the elevations and provide
direction regarding this matter at the June 2, 1997 Public Hearing.
Subdivision Map
A fifty-nine (59) parcel subdivision of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan site, which
encompasses the Forest City Development, Inc. project, was originally scheduled for the
Planning Director hearing on May 22, 1997. The item was continued, at the request of the
applicant, to the May 29, 1997 Planning Director hearing in order to clarify the Conditions of
Approval for the project. The approval of a Tentative Map is required as a condition of approval
for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan prior to the issuance of a grading permit on the
site.
A grading plan has been included in the Planning Commission's exhibits. Staff has reviewed
the plan and has determined it is consistent with the grading concept proposed in the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan. In addition, the plan has been modified to comply with the
requirements of the Public Works Department. Currently, the applicant is proposing to remove
soil from the Campos Verdes site and transport the soil on site. The project is anticipated to
receive 1.2 million cubic yards of fill.
Mitigation Monitoring
The applicant will need to comply with the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Temecula
Regional Center Environmental Impact Report. Condition of Approval No. 11 of the Regional
Center Specific Plan and Condition of Approval No. 14 of the Campos Verdes Specific Plan
require the applicant to deposit funds with the City of Temecula to retain the services of a
qualified consultant to implement and administer the respective Mitigation Monitoring Programs
for the Environmental impact Reports.
Staff requested estimates from five (5) firms to administer and implement the Mitigation
Monitoring Programs for these projects. Based upon Staff's review of the estimates, Tom
Dodson & Associates was selected as the consultant to perform these services. The City
Council will consider awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Tom Dodson and
Associates to Perform Services to Administer and Implement the Mitigation Monitoring
Programs for the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and the
Campos Verdes Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report at the May 27, 1997 City Council
Meeting.
EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
This project is consistent with the City's General Plan since the General Plan currently
designates the site as Community Commercial, Professional Office and Public/Institutional
Facilities and the Development Plan is consistent with these designations. This project is
consistent with Specific Plan No. 263, since the development project which is implemented by
this Development Plan meets all the requirements of this Specific Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Environmental Impact Report No. 340 was prepared for Specific Plan No. 263 and was certified
by the City of Temecula City Council in July, 1993. An addendum for the project was adopted
by the City Council in 1994. It has been two and one-half (2~) years since the environmental
analysis was performed for this project. Based upon this information, it is Staffs opinion that
due to the scope of the proposed Development Agreement, there will be no effect on the
previous analysis. According to Section 21166 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is required for the project
unless one or more of the following events occurs: substantial changes are proposed in the
project which will require major revisions of the EIR; substantial changes occur with respect to
circumstance under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in
the EIR; or, new information, which was not known at the time of the EIR was certified and
complete becomes available. Staff has conducted an Initial Environmental Study lIES) to
determine if the project is within the thresholds established in the Temecula Regional Center
Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Based upon our analysis, the project is
consistent with the EIR's findings; therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project components which are before the Planning Commission for their consideration are:
the mall and power center site plan, mall and power center elevations, mall and power center
landscape plan, mall and power center color and material boards, Robinsons-May site/landscape
plan, Robinsons-May elevations and Robinsons-May color and material board. Several perimeter
development envelopes are also identified on the site plan.
The colors and materials used for the mall shops are compatible with surrounding development
and the Temecula region in general. The Power Center is located on the eastern portion of the
project site. Staff has directed the applicant to adequately screen the rear of these buildings
which includes the loading areas. The rear of the buildings have been articulated in a manner
similar to the front of the buildings. Elevations utilize similar colors and materials used on the
mall project. The facades of the buildings have been broken up through the use of entry
features, varied roof heights, landscaping and some trellises.
There are several components of the mall project which Staff has not received elevations for
at this time. A condition of approval has been included for the project which requires future
elevations of these components to use architectural elements which are found on the mall.
The applicant has identified potential building envelopes for the outlots and potential square
footage for pads and major retail tenants. Since the applicant has no definitive plans at this
time, a condition of approval has been added to the project which requires the applicant to
submit a design manual for approval by the Planning Commission.
A subsequent Traffic Study was submitted for the project (dated May 9, 1997) and reviewed
by Staff. Staff required the applicant to provide an analysis which would determine if the
project (as proposed) was consistent with the previous analysis performed for the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan. The Study concludes project trip generation falls within the
Specific Plan totals included in the EIR Traffic Study.
The project will initially take access from Winchester, Ynez and Margarita Roads. Ultimately,
the project will also be accessible from the future extension of Overland Drive. Two (2) major
entries and three (3) minor entries are proposed on Winchester Road. Two (2) major entries are
proposed on Ynez Road. One (1) major entry and two (2) minor entries are proposed on
Margarita Road. Additional right turn lanes are proposed into the major entries on Winchester
Road and at the northernmost major entry on Ynez Road. A central "ring road" will encompass
R:~TAFFRFI~llgPA~?.I~I 5128197~f 9
the mall and will provide access to the power center and perimeter lots (outlots).
Pursuant to the Development Agreement between Forest City Development, Inc. and the City
of Temecula on December 16, 1997, the City shall design, construct, install and maintain the
perimeter road improvements to Winchester Road, Ynez Road, Margarita Road (Winchester to
Solaria) and Overland Drive (between Ynez Road and Margarita Road). In addition, the City will
construct new or remodel existing traffic signals, underground overhead power and
communications lines on the south side of Winchester Road from Ynez Road to Margarita Road
and construct regional storm drainage facilities.
A Committee consisting of Commissioner Miller, the City's Landscape Architect and Staff met
prior to the May 8, 1997 DRC meeting to generate comments on these plans. The landscape
plan has been coordinated with the site plan and sidewalk plan and the appropriate tree choices
have been used along the sidewalks. The fifty percent shading requirement for parking stalls
has not been met on these plans. A Condition of Approval has been added to the project which
reads: uPer the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan, a 50% minimum average actual parking
stall (space) area shall be shaded. A sidewalk plan has been prepared for the project. This plan
depicts pedestrian routes of travel throughout the project and connects all of the components
of the project.
Potential locations for signs have been identified on the site plan. These locations are
conceptual at this time. A condition of approval has been included for the project which
requires a comprehensive sign program be approved by the Planning Manager prior to the
Issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
Staff is requesting the Planning Commission provide direction regarding the special treatment
at the corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads, as well as on the landscape plans for the Sears
Department and Sears Auto Service Center.
A grading plan has been reviewed the plan and has been determined to be consistent with the
grading concept proposed in the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan.
This project is consistent with the City's the General Plan and Specific Plan No. 263.
FINDINGS
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all
applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City. The project is
consistent with all City Ordinances including: the City's General Plan, Specific Plan No.
263, and Ordinance No. 96-24 (An ordinance of the City Council of the City of
Temecula, California approving a Development Agreement (Planning Application No.
PA96-0333) between the City of Temecula, Forest City Development California, Inc.
And LGA-7, Inc.).
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health,
safety and welfare. The project as proposed complies with all City Ordinances and
meets the standards adopted by the City of Temecula designed for the protection of the
public health, safety and welfare.
The project has been the subject of extensive prior environmental review and no
additional environmental review is needed for the following reasons::
On July 13, 1993, following a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council of
the City of Temecula adopted Resolution No. 93-57 entitled "A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Temecula certifying Environmental impact Report No.
340 with addendum, adoption of the Statements of Overriding Consideration and
approval of the Mitigation Monitoring Program on property located at the
southeast comer of Ynez and Winchester Roads and known as Assessor's Parcel
No(s} 910-130-046, 047; 921-090-001,002, 003, 004, 005, and 006,"
certifying the Environmental Impact Report for Specific Plan No. 263 and Zone
Change 5589 for the Property.
Additionally, on October 11, 1994, following a duly noticed public hearing, the
City Council of the City of Temecula adopted Resolution No. 94-100 entitled "A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Temecula adopting the addendum
to the FEIR No. 340; to adopt an addendum to FEIR No. 340 including a new
Mitigation Monitoring Program and determining no additional impacts as a result
of changing the circulation mitigation measures located at the southeast corner
of the intersection of Ynez Road and Winchester Road." The Council found at
this time that the proposed specific plan and zone change did not change any of
the impacts identified in FEIR No. 340, none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 of the CEQA guidelines calling for preparation of a subsequent
EIR had occurred, only minor technical changes or additions were necessary to
make FEIR No. 340 adequate under CEQA, and the changes to the EIR by the
Addendum do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the
environment.
The Staff of the Planning Department has prepared an initial Environmental
Study, dated May 15, 1997 analyzing the proposed Development Plan and the
prior environmental actions on the Project, which Initial Study is incorporated
herein by this reference.
The proposed Development Plan incorporates the provisions of the City's General
Plan, Specific Plan No. 263, the current zoning regulations for the Property, the
Mitigation Plan of Environmental Impact Report No. 340 and such other
ordinances, rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses,
density, design, improvement, development fees, and construction standards
applicable to the Property. All of the components of the proposed Development
Plan which might affect the environment were discussed and analyzed in FEIR
340. Therefore, no further environmental review is required for the Amendment
unless required by 14 Cal. Admin. Code Sections 15161 or 15163.
Based on the evidence in the record before it, and after careful consideration of
the evidence, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that neither
a Subsequent EIR a Supplemental EIR, nor further environmental review is
required for the Development Plan pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21166, 14 CaL Admin. Code Sections 15162 or 15163, based on the following
findings of the Planning Commission:
R:\STAFFRPT~llSPA~.I~I 5F28j~7 mf 11
The elements of the Project as described in the Development Plan were
contemplated and fully and properly analyzed in the EIR certified and approved
by the City Council on July 13, 1993 and the Addendum thereto approved on
October 11, 1994 for the approval of Specific Plan 263 and Zone Change 5589;
There have been no subsequent changes to the Project since October 11, 1994
which would require major revisions of the previous FEIR and Addendum due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the Project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous
FEIR and Addendum due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects.
There is no new information since the certification of the previous FEIR and
Addendum which would show or tend to show that the Project might have one
or more significant effects not discussed in the previous FEIR and Addendum.
There is no new information since the certification of the previous FEIR and
Addendum which would show or tend to show that significant effects previously
examined might be substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR and
Addendum.
There is no new information since the certification of the FEIR and Addendum
which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternative
previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project.
There is no new information since the certification of the FEIR and Addendum
which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternatives
which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous FEIR and
Addendure would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment.

Dear Mr. Fagan:
Planning Application No. PA97-0083 (TPM No. 28531);
Planning Application No. PA97-0099 (TPM No. 28530);
and, Planning Application No. PA97-0118
(Site Plan -- Ultimate Developement)
We have reviewed the above-referenced documents and request
consideration of the following comment:
It has been mutually discussed that the ultimate plan
for State Route 79 (SR 79) in the project area is a six
(6) lane, limited-access facility within a 134' right
of way over a new alignment. The City of Temecula
should develop policies and procedures to preserve the
needed right of way, and maintain and improve the
current facility.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the
State of California, Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) and the city of Temecula was finalized on
Noveraber 13, 1995. This MOU serves as a guideline
for new development and upgrade or realignment of
SR-79. The following excerpts are from this MOU:
Route 79 is planned for up to three lanes in each
direction for through traffic and up to two lanes
in each direction for local circulation.
Realignment may be necessary upon future
development along Route 79.
Mr. Matthew Fagan
April 29, 1997
Page 2
The City shall hereafter protect the right-of-way
for said realignment by limiting development
approvals for North Route 79 (Winchester Road) as
follows:
Intersections will be spaced at 1/4 mile
increments with 1/8 mile spacing for limited
access driveways (i.e., right in, right out
only) from Interstate 15 (I-15) to Margarita
Road.
Concerning drainage, care should be taken when
developing this project to preserve and perpetuate the
existing drainage pattern of the state highway.
Farticular consideration must be given to cumulative
increased storm runoff to ensure that a highway
drainage problem is not created.
This project will require an encroachment permit if
there is any work, including work pertaining to:
access, grading, and drainage, within the State highway
right of way; the Department of Transportation would be
a responsible agency and may require certain measures
be provided as a condition of permit issuance.
The developer must obtain an encroachment permit from
the District 8 Permits Office prior to beginning work.

Dear Mr. Fagan:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within
the boundaries of Rancho California Water Distdct (RCWD). Water
service, therefore, would be available upon completion of financial
arrangements between RCWD and the property owner.
If fire protection is required, the customer will need to contact RCWD
for fees and requirements.
Water availability would be contingent upon the property owner signing
an Agency Agreement which assigns water management rights, if any,
to RCWD.

Description of Project: The design and consm~tion of a 1,079,846 square foot regional mall, a 403,000
square foot power center (retail) and 235,000 square feet of future retail space on 13 1 acres
An Environmental Impact Report fur the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan was certified in July,
1993. An Addendure to the EIR was adopted in October, 1994. The 1993 EIR indicated that even
after implementing the proposed mitigations, several significant impacts will remain. The remaining
significant impacts will be to Noise, Climate and Air Quality, and Agriculture. Several other
cumulatively significant impacts will occur fithe other proposed Specific Plans for the region, Specific
Plan No. 1 (Cempos Verdes) and Specific Plan No. 255 (Winchester Hills), are developed. These
additional areas of significant impact will be Seismic Safety, HoMing, Wildlife and Vegetation,
Circu~ati~nendTral~ic~FireServices~Sheri~Services~S~hon~s~Uti~itiesandLibraries. As part ofthe
certification of the EIR in 1993, the City Council had to adopt a Statement of Overriding
Considerations detailing why the project was approvad in light of the unavoidable environmental
effects. The 1994 EIR Addondttm incorporated technical analysis (in the Areas oftxaffie/circulation
and drainage/flooding) into the Final EIR and integrated additional/revised mitigation measures into
the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
Under California Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 if the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, no additional EIR is required unless additional impacts
not previously cousidered, or substantial increases in the severity of impacts, may result fxom:
substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, or new information that
R:~STAFFRFI~llSPA97.PC15/281~7mf 32

could not have b~n known at th~ ~ tha EIR was prepare. This Initial Environmental Study is ti~l
from the 1993 ElK and th~ 1994 EIK Addendure for th~ Specific Plan and examines th~ question of
whether any impacts beyond those analyzed in the 1993 EIR and 1994 EIR Addandum~ would r~sult
from the proposed Development Plan, changes in circumstances, or new information. Based upon
Smff's analysis, th~ project is consistent with ht~ information contained in the previously Cmi~ed EIR;
therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: Vacant to th~ south and east Palm Plaza (Commercial Center) and
ACS (mannfaeturing and office) to the west Doctor's Medical Plaza (medical offices), Costco Center
(Commercial Center ) and vacant to the north.
Other public agencies whose approval is required: None.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECIIED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least o~
impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicat~l by the checklist on the following pages.

[ ] Population and Housing
[ ] Gcologic Problems
[ ] Water
[ ] Air Quality
[ ] Trausportation/Circulation

[X] None
DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
Ha,ards
] Noise
] Public Services
] Utilities and Service Systems
] Aesthetics
] Cultural Resources
] Recreation
] Mandatory Findings of Significance
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a si~t, ni~cant on the environment, that none of the conditions
described in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred; therefore, the previous analysis performed under EIR No. 340
(certified July, 1993) and the EIR Addandum (adopted October, 1994) adequately addresses all impacts from
this project. Staff is recommending the Planning Commission and the City Council Make a Determination of
Consistency With a Project for Which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was Previously Certified and
Findings that a Subsequent EIR is not required.

17. EARLIER ANALYSES.
a. Earlier an~ses used: This Initial Envireauncnt~l Study is liered from the EIK for the Regional Center Specific Plan
(EIR No. 340) certified in 1993 and the EIR Addendure adopted in 1994.
R:\STAFFRFI~IlgPA97.PC15/28/97mf 40
EXPLANATION OF CHECKLIST JUDGEMENTS
The following checklist judgements list the level of impact anticipated from the proposed
project. These judgements are made against the baseline of the adopted Specific Plan with its
required mitigation. The checklist judgements address the question of whether the proposed
project would result in additional impacts, not previously addressed in the 1993 EIR and the
1994 EIR Addendum.
1. Land Use Planning
a)
No Impact. The proposed project will not conflict with the City's General Ran designation
or zoning. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan designation and the
Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. Planning Area I of the Specific Plan consists of
71.9 gross acres devoted primarily to mixed uses including retail, office, hotel, institutional
and residential uses. Planning Area 2 of the Specific Plan consists of 97.8 acres of vacant
land proposed as the central commercial core of the Temecula Regional Center. The uses
proposed for the project in Planning Areas 1 and 2 are primarily retail and are consistent
with Table IIA (Schedule of Permitted Uses). In regards to Planning Area 1, the Specific
Plan (111-42) states: "It is important to note that not all uses allowed in Planning Area I are
necessarily expected to occur. For this reason, some of the above design features may not
be appropriate nor economically feasible. For this reason, only the concept of a Main
Street is discussed in depth above. Additional options for possible development in Planning
Area 1 are discussed in Section IV, Design Guidelines, in the Specific Plan." The Illustrative
Site Plans (Figures 27A, 27B and 27C) contained in Section IV of the Specific Plan state:
"The site plan is provided for illustrative purposes only. Actual site plan configuration and
building layouts will be determined during Development Plan review." Based upon this
flexibility contained in the Specific Plan, Staff has determined the project is consistent with
the General Plan designation and zoning for the proposed project which was adopted with
approval of the Specific Plan.
b}
No Impact. The proposed project will not conflict with applicable environmental plans or
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The proposed project is
consistent with the City's General Plan and is therefore consistent with adopted regional
plans.
c)
No Impact. The proposed project will not be incompatible with existing land uses in the
vicinity. Most of the adjacent land uses in the area are also commercial. Buffering has
been considered and was included into the approved Specific Plan along the eastern
portion of the site, adjacent to residential development. No buffering is required to the
west, north and south.
d)
No Impact. The 1993 EIR identified the loss of agricultural lands as an unavoidable
significant adverse impact by the adoption of the Specific Plan. Implementation of the
Specific Plan will remove existing dry farmed cropland from production. It will also result
in the loss of future agricultural lands designated as "Local Important Farmland" and "Prime
Farm/and" as indicated in the City's Draft General Plan, agricultural resources.
Development of the property could theoretically hasten the conversion of other agricultural
areas to urban uses by creating economic pressures and increasing land value for
development. However, from a practical standpoint, this project is surrounded by
orbanizing or planned urban development and farming operations have not been present
on the property for several years. There are no practical mitigations for this impact, with
R:~STAFFRPT~I18PA97.PC15/28/~7m/ 41
the exception of no development, even though the impact is considered a significant
impact. The City Council addressed this unavoidable impact in the Findings of Overriding
Consideration associated with the certification of the EIR. The site is currently vacant and
is not being used for agricultural purposes.
e)
No Impact. The proposal will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an
established community. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted Specific Plan
and will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of the community in an manner that
is different than contemplated in the Specific Plan.
2. Population and Housing
The 1993 EIR did not identify any significant population and housing impacts.
a)
No Impact. The proposal will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population
projects. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted Specific Plan and the City's
General Plan. It is therefore consistent with official regional and local projections.
b)
No Impact. The proposal will not induce substantial growth in an area either directly or
indirectly beyond that previously analyzed in the 1993 EIR for the Specific Plan. The
proposed project is consistent with the adopted Specific Plan.
c) No Impact. The proposal will not displace existing housing, especially affordable housing.
The proposed project site is currently vacant.
3. Geologic Problems
The 1993 EIR indicated that based upon the mitigation measures proposed for the project, the
level of impacts related to Geologic Problems ( Soils, Ground Rupture, Ground Surface Cracking,
Liquefaction, Seismically Induced Flooding, Topography, Groundwater, Slope Stability and Wind
Erosion) have been reduced to an insignificant level (Pages V-17, V-24 and V-25).
a)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from fault rupture beyond
those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project is within
the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
b}
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impact from seismic ground
shaking beyond those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed
project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific
Plan.
c)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from seismic ground
failure or liquefaction beyond those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because
the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the
approved Specific Plan.
d)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from a seiche, tsunami
or volcanic hazard beyond those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the
proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved
Specific Plan.
R:\STAFFP, PTxllSPA97.PC15/'28/97nff 42
e)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from landslides or
mudflows beyond those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed
project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific
Plan. In additional, no additional significant geotechnical information regarding the project
has been developed since certification of the 1993 EIR.
f)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from erosion, changes
in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill beyond those
impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project is within the
scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. No additional
significant geotechnical information regarding the project site, erosion, soll or grading
related impacts have been developed since certification of the 1993 EIR.
g)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in an impact due to subsidence of the land. The
proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved
Specific Plan. No additional significant geotechnical information regarding the project has
been developed since certification of the 1993 EIR. Therefore, no additional impacts
beyond those described in the 1993 are anticipated.
h)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts from expansive soils
beyond those described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project is within
the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. No additional
significant geotechnical information regarding the project has been developed since
certification of the 1993 EIR.
I)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts to unique geologic or
physical features beyond those impacts described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the
proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved
Specific Plan.
4. Water
The 1993 EIR indicated that based upon the mitigation measures proposed for the project, the
level of impacts related to Water (Water Quality and Flooding) have been reduced to an
insignificant level (Pages V-30, and V-58). The 1994 EIR Addendum further elaborated upon
the impacts from the project and additional/revised Mitigation Measures required.
a)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional changes in absorption rates,
drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff beyond those impacts
described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR Addendum. This is because the proposed
project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendum and is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan.
b)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional exposure of people or property
to water related hazards such as flooding beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the
1994 EIR Addendum. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993
EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendum and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
c)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional discharge into surface waters or
other alteration of surface water quality beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the
1994 EIR Addendum. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993
EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendure and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
R:\STAFl:~drI~llSPA97.PC15/28/9'7~ 43
d)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional changes in the amount of surface
water in any water body beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR
Addendum. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the
1994 EIR Addendum and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
e)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional changes in currents, or the course
or direction of water movements beyond those described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994
EIR Addendure. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR,
the 1994 EIR Addendure and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
f)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional change in the quality of ground
waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer
by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability
beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR Addendum. This is because the
proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendum and is
consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
g)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional alteration to the direction or rate
of flow of groundwater beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR
Addendum. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the
1994 EIR Addendure and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
h)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional impacts to groundwater quality
beyond that described in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR Addendum. This is because the
proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendum and is
consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
I)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional substantial reductions in the
amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies beyond that described
in the 1993 EIR and the 1994 EIR Addendure. This is because the proposed project is
within the scope of the 1993 EIR, the 1994 EIR Addendum and is consistent with the
approved Specific Plan.
5. Air Quality
The 1993 EIR identified Air Quality as impacted in an unavoidable significant adverse way by
the certification of the EIR and the adoption of the Specific Plan. Although impacts to air
quality will occur during the grading and construction phase of the project, the major impact
to air quality will come from vehicle exhaust after build out of the project. Mitigation measures
have been added to the project to lessen the impacts to the air quality. While measures provide
feasible mitigations for the increased traffic, the impact to air quality will still be significant.
The total number of vehicle trips generated from the project and surrounding projects cannot
be reduced sufficiently to enable the impact to be considered insignificant. The City Council
addressed these unavoidable impacts in the Findings of Overriding Consideration associated
with the certification of the EIR.
a)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional potential to violate any air quality
standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation beyond that described
in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project is within the scope of the 1993 EIR
and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
R:\STAFFRPT~llSPA~7.PCI 5/28/9'/mf 44
b)
No Impact. The proposal will not result in any additional exposure of sensitive receptors
to pollutant beyond that described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project
is within the scope of the 1993 FIR and is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
c)

No Impact. The proposal will not result in the creation of any additional objectional odors
beyond that described in the 1993 EIR. This is because the proposed project is within the
scope of the 1993 EIR and is consistent with the approved Specific PLan.
6. Transportation/Circulation
The 1993 EIR indicated that based upon the mitigation measures proposed for the project, the
level of impacts related to Circulation and Traffic have been reduced to an insignificant level
(Page V-117). This project impacts both on and off-site roadways. The size of the project
generates sufficient traffic to require the project to comply with the State Congestion
Management Program. The circulation pattern connects with proposed roadways that run
through the City of Murrieta and the County of Riverside. The Traffic Study included in the
technical appendix of the EIR details the impacts to the circulation system of all three
jurisdictions. The analysis contains mitigation measures and timing requirements for the
completion of the improvements. These mitigations have been included in the Mitigation
Monitoring Program and the Conditions of Approval for the project. Cumulative unavoidable
significant impacts were identified from the development of Specific Plan No. 255 and Specific
Plan No. 1 concurrently with Specific Plan No. 263. The impacts will be lessened by adherence
to the Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures. The City Council addressed this
unavoidable impact in the Findings of Overriding Consideration associated with the certification
of the EIR. The 1994 EIR Addendum further elaborated upon the impacts from the project and
additional/revised Mitigation Measures required.
a)
No Impact. A subsequent Traffic Study was submitted for the project and reviewed by
Staff. Staff required the applicant to provide an analysis which would determine if the
project (as proposed) was consistent with the previous analysis performed for the
Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. The Study concludes project trip generation falls
within the Specific Plan totals included in the EIR Traffic Study. The Study further states:
~while the proposed land use is consistent with the Specific Plan designations, it is evident
that the proposed project trip generation would account for a somewhat higher pro-rated
share of the total Specific Plan trip generation for the p.m. peak-hour than originally
conceived in the Specific Ran." The Study lastly states: 'This issue should be re-evaluated
as specific development proposals are defined for the remaining portion of the site."
A traffic analysis will be required for subsequent development within the Temecula
Regional Center Specific Plan area, not covered under the current project description above
(the remainder of the property not developed by Forest City Development, Inc.). If these
projects are under the threshold established by the original EIR Traffic Study (less those
impacts identified under the Forest City Development Project) then a consistency finding
may be made for these projects. If the future projects exceed this threshold, then
subsequent environmental analysis may be required.

7. Biological Resources
The 1993 EIR indicated that based upon the mitigation measures proposed for the project, the
level of impacts related to Wildlife/Vegetation have been reduced to an insignificant level (Page
V-83). Although the site is not habitat for any rare or endangered species, the loss of the
habitat will add to the cumulative loss of wildlife habitat in the area. This cumulative loss is
considered significant even though the individual project impact is not considered significant.
