The motion was seconded by Commissioner Guerfiero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. R:XPLANCOESN199'/Lg-~-97.WpD 10/1C:87~ 2 PUBI,IC HEARING ITEMS 2. PLANNING APPLICATION NO. PA97.0174 ~DEVFJ~)PMENT PI,ANT) Planninoo Commigsion consideration of a request to construct two office and manufacturing buildings totaling 13,108 square feet. RECOMMI~.NDATION To adopt the Negative Declaration for Planning Application No. 07-0174; To adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for Planning Application No. 97-0174; To Adopt Resolution No. 97-020 approving Planning Application No. 97-0174 based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report and subject to the Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Miller advised that he would be abstaining with regard to this request. As per the Commission's direction to staff at the August 18, 1997, Planning Commission meeting, Assistant Planner Anders advised that staff had met with the applicant in order to address the Commission's concerns with regard to the architectural compatibility (overall design, colors, materials) of the proposed buildings with the neighboring, existing buildings, noting that altemative design options were discussed. After additional review of the City-wide Design Guidelines, Development Code, and General Plan, it was determined by staff that the proposed design would be consistent with those guidelines. Although the applicant had considered a color change to a more earth tone color, Assistant Planner Anders stated that it was the applicant's determination that the earth tone colors would not integrate well with the company's lapis blue signage; therefore, the applicant has requested that the Planning Commission approve the request as originally proposed. Because of his inability to attend this evening's Commission meeting, Assistant Planner Anders informed the Commissioners that Mr. Joe Kuebler (representing the six property owners of the buildings located to the east and across the street of the subject site) expressed opposition to the proposed project based on architectural design. In response to Chairwoman Fahey, Assistant Planner Anders reviewed those elements of the City-wide Design Guidelines as well as the General Plan with which the proposed project is compatible. Planning Manager Ubnoske advised that neither the General Plan nor the City-wide Design Guidelines include specific language which address compatibility with surrounding developments. Echoing Assistant Planner Anders' comments, Mr. Lon Bike, 14 Hughes Street, Irvine, architect representing the applicant, reiterated efforts undertaken by the applicant to address the Commission's concern with regard to compatibility but reemphasized the applicant's opinion that any change to the proposed design would negatively detract from the desired hiotech appearance which would accurately portray the business. Therefore, Mr. Bike requested the Commission's approval as submitted. Commissioner Slaven noted that the Commission, at its August 18, 1997, Commission meeting continued this request in order to give the applicant the ability to address the Commission' s concern with regard to compatibility of the proposed buildings with the neighboring, existing buildings and to propose adjustments necessary to mitigate this concern. Commissioner Slaven stated the proposed landscaping (24.16 percent) for the subject site does not meet the requirement of 25 percent. Referencing the August 18, 1997, Commission meeting, Commissioner Soltysiak noted that the Commission primarily discussed and relayed concern with regard to the architectural appearance of the building to the back, noting that the front building (visible from Ridge Park Drive) depicts more architectural detail. Mr. Bike, in response to Commissioner Soltysiak, reviewed the architectural elements of the front and back buildings and clarified why the proposed landscaping will be slightly below the 25 percent requirement, noting the following: Installation of a sidewalk along Ridge Park Drive, as required by the City, requires the applicant to comply with the State accessibility law as well as Federal ADA requirements, which necessitated the installation of a sidewalk along the side of the access drive; that if the sidewalk to the side were converted to landscaping, the project would slightly exceed the 25 percent requirement; On-site access between buildings is required by State law. In light of the existing Industrial Design Guidelines which indicate that architectural appearance should be considered as secondary to other issues, Commissioner Guerriero viewed the proposed project as one which will be compatible with the surrounding area. In light of Mr. Bike's explanation with regard to landscaping, Commissioner Soliysiak expressed no c6ncem with the project not meeting the 25 percent landscaping requirement. Although the proposed buildings will not be compatible with the existing buildings, Chairwoman Fahey noted that, in her opinion, the existing buildings are not compatible with the City's new design guidelines; reiterated that architectural appearance should be considered as secondary to other issues; and relayed her support of the request. MOTION: Commissioner Soltysiak moved for the approval of PA97-0174 as recommended and conditioned by staff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Guemero and voice vote reflected approval as follows: AYES: 3 Commissioners Guerriero, Soltysiak, and Chairwoman Fahey. NOES: 1 Commissioner Slaven.

PA97-0161 (General Plan Amendment), PA97-0160 (Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No. 199), and PA97-0204 (Amendment and Restatement of Development Agreement for Specific Plan No. 199, Village respectively, based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report; and R:XPLANCO~I997X94-97.WpD 10/17/97~.w To adopt Resolution No. 97-027 through No. 97-029 approving Planning Application Nes.

By way of overheads, Project Planner Donahoe reviewed the staff report (as per written material of record), highlighting the applicant's desire to change the originally proposed density, reducing the overall dwelling units by 125 units; to reduce the amount of commercial use (7.5 acres) by eliminating a curren~y proposed commercial site at the northwest comer of Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway; and to construct a public park (12.5 acres - with lighted softball field) at the southwest comer at La Serena Way and Meadow Parkway. Further addressing the proposed changes and amendments, Planner Donahoe noted the following: that the 12.5 acre park would be constructed to TCSD standards; would be dedicated to TCSD; and would be maintained by TCSD; that any proposed roadway revisions (public or private) have been reviewed by the City Engineer and were deemed adequate; that the marquee monumentation (advertising to be limited) would be placed at Margarita/Rancho California Roads; that architectural appearance of the Village has been changed from Spanish Mediterranean to California Spanish; that a higher density is being proposed for Planning Area No. 42 [existing density range 7 - 12 du/ac -- proposed 11.99 du/ac (multi-family developmen0], noting that a formal design has not been submitted and that without the submittal of a separate Development Plan, this area would be limited to detached single-family houses on each of the 15 lots; that the perimeter slopes will be maintained by TCSD and that the interior will be maintained by the Homeowners Association; that the current owner has had to work with several physical cbnstralnts to the site such as grading, completed by the previous owner; Metropolitan Aqueduct fines traversing the site; and previously located and developed streets, drainage facilities, and water lines; that in several areas proposed lots will exceed the City's maximum length-to-width ratio of 2:1 (Ordinance No. 460); that because previously approve Tentative Tract maps granted a waiver from the length-to-width requirement, the applicant is requesting same consideration; that the applicant has agreed to provide rear and side yard fencing; that because of the minimum back-up area necessary for tun-in style garages, it is recommended that this option only be offered for those lots with a 45' minimum width; that the existing smaller water tank, located on the east side of Meadow Parkway, is a storage tank for reclaimed water and that the larger tank is for portable water; With regard to the noise concern expressed by the La Serena Homeowners Association, Commissioner Guerriero expressed difficulty understanding what in this project could result in an unacceptable decibel level. Chairwoman Fahey suggested that staff review the minutes from the time this request was originally discussed, in order to address the Homeowners Associations' noise concern. Project Planner Donahce referenced Condition No. 14 of PA97-0143 (acoustical analysis) and suggested that any specific area of concern with regard to noise could be included in this study. Having earlier expressed a concern with regard to the stability of the existing water tanks, Commissioner Guerriero expressed appreciation to staff for the quick response to this issue and reiterated concern as to the stability of these tanks in the event of a disaster as well as sabotage and the impact this could have on the surrounding homes. In response to Commissioner Guerriero's concern, City Engineer Parks advised that although such a disaster could be damaging, the quantity of water could be handled and would probably not damage any homes. Commissioner Guerriero expressed pleasure with the plans to construct landscaped medians. Because the overall density of the project has been decreased, City Engineer Parks, advised that no new traffic analysis has been completed; that although the development of the mall was not considered in the original traffic analysis nor was the Walcott Corridor or the connection of Calle Medusa to Nicolas Road; that the originally prepared traffic analysis adequately addresses the subject site; and that the potential traffic impact from the proposed 7 project will be less than what was originally proposed. City Engineer Parks noted adequate traffic circulation has been proposed to accommodate the additional 175 multi-family housing units with Project Planner Donahoe reiterating that the overall dwelling units for this project will decrease by 125 units. With regard to one of recommended mended conditions (copies submitted to the Commissioners) relative to the submittal of the landscaping plan, Commissioner Soltysiak suggested that to discourage any delay, this condition be amended to read as follows: "...prior to the ~ of precise grading permits..." City Engineer Parks clarified the intent of the condition, noting it would be staffs desire to obtain the landscaping plan prior to the submittal of the precise grading plan. Mr. Barry Bumell, T & B Planning Consultants, 3242 Halladay, Suite 100, Santa Ana, representing the applicant, concurred with the recommended amended conditions of approval including the comment made by Commissioner Soltysiak; advised that if the number of permissible units (as per the General Plan) were to decrease, as per choice by the developer, the proposed size (12.5 acres) of the park would decrease as well in size. He provided clarification with regard to Condition No. 19 (bike lanes and recreational trails), noting that such trails would only be provided on the periphery of the subject site. He also advised that a copy of the CC&R's has been submitted; that the applicant has complied with Condition No. 1 ld; and, therefore, the condition should be deleted. He noted that the traffic analysis considered the proposed multi-family housing; that a completed noise analysis would not indicate an adverse impact as a result of this project, that landscaping would further create a buffer and, thereby further attenuate a noise concern; that the proposed marquee will not be an electrical sign and the message would be interchangeable by way of letters. With regard to the marquee, Commissioner Slaven suggested the use of a locked device to ensure the security of the letters. Chairwoman Fahey commended staff and the applicant on a well-organized presentation. Echoing Chairwoman Fahey's comment, Commissioner Slaven expressed with the removal of the commercial use, the construction of a park, the lowering of the overall density and expressed support of the construction of multi-family units. MOTION: Commissioner Slaven moved to close the public heating and to approve the request as recommended and conditioned by staff, including the amendment with regard to the submittal of the landscaping plan (as suggested by Commissioner Soltysiak). The motion was seconded by Commissioner Guerriero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. -~ R:XPLANCOhlMhMINLrI~3\1997Xg-S,97.WpD 10/16~7~g,w 8 A representative from McMillin and Company extended appreciation to staff for their efforts with regard to this request and thanked the Planning Commissioners for their approval of the project. PLANNING MANAGER'S REPORT In response to a previously noted concern by Commissioner Slaven with regard to the deletion of handicapped parIcing spaces because of parking lot restriping, Planning Manager Ubnoske advised that the loss of handicapped spaces is a concern to staff and requested that Commissioner Slavea submit her concern in writing and that staff would follow up on the matter. She advised Code Enforcement to investigate Commissioner Miller's concern regarding trash bins being inappropriately used for storage bins (behind the theaters in the Town Center); after which, it was determined that a Code Violation does exist. PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Miller commented on the number of vending machines displayed outside of the new Albertson's (SR 79) and noted how such machines detract from the overall appearance of the store and also commented on the number of plants that are displayed in front of the Payless Drugstore. With the passage of the new Sign Ordinance, Commissioner Miller questioned whether any measures were available, which could permanen~y remove the display of a truck located on Jefferson Avenue -- visible from the freeway, advertising a moving company (Two Men will move you). Commissioner Soltysiak informed staff that some street names referenced in Agenda Item No. 3 were redundant to already existing sweet names. Chairwoman Fahey advised that she would not be able to attend the September 15, 1997, Planning Commission meeting. AD.TOURNMENT At 7:30 P.M., Chairwoman Fahey formally adjourned the Planning Commission meeting to Monday, September 15, 1997, at 6:00 P.M.

DIRECTOR'S HEARING UPDATE As per written material of record, no additional comments. PUBIJC HEARING ITFM8 4. PI ,ANNING APPI ,ICATION NO. PA97-0235 (CONDITIONAl, USE PF, RMIT~ Planning Commigsion consideration of a request to construct and operate a three-story, 43,654 square foot, 90-unit hotel with swimming pool, and to erect a free-standing freeway-oriented sign measuring 12 feet in width and a height of 45 feet. RF. COMMENDATION To adopt the Negative Declaration for Planning Application No. 97-0235; To adopt the ,Mitigation Monitoring Program for Planning Application No. 97-0235;': To adopt Resolution No. 97-023 approving Planning Application No. 97-0235 based upon the Analysis and F'mdings contained in the Staff Report and subject to the Conditions of Approval; To direct staff to approve a freestanding freeway-oriented sign for Temecula Valley Inn measuring 27 feet in height, located on the west side of Interstate 15, at the southeast corner of the subject property. Project Planner Donahoe presented the staff report (of record); apprised the Commissioners that staff had received one call with regard to the potential noise impact from the air conditioning units to which she noted that it would be staff's opinion that given the proximity of the proposed hotel to the 1-15, Jefferson Avenue, and the future Overland crossing, the air conditioning units will pose no noise problem. By way of overheads, Project Planner Donahoe referenced the two flag tests completed with regard to the proposed 45' high sign, noting that staff recommends a sign no higher than 30' which would permit ample visibility for northbound freeway traffic and as well would permit maturing of existing shrubbery. Ms. Donahoe also noted that the recommended 30' high sign would be consistent with existing neighboring signs at Wendy's and In-'N'-Out Burger; that the proposed project would be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning are compatible with the surrounding land uses; and that the proposed architecture would compliment existing buildings along Jefferson Avenue. With regard to recommended conditions of approval from the Police Department, Commissioner Miller noted his concurrence with regard to the intent of Condition No. 8 (the address for the location shall be painted on the roof using numbers no less than two feet tall, in a color which contrasts the background). He noted hesitancy to imposing this condition on the project considering the proposed sloped roof. With regard to the proposed FAR of 0.38 (above the target but within the range for the zone), Commissioner Miller expressed no concern. In response to Commissioner Guerriero, Principal Engineer Parks the foliowing 1) that staff does not denote the location of a fire hydrant; 2) the applicant must adhere to a standard which pertains to the placement of fire hydrants; 3) that all arterial highways (such as Jefferson Avenue) must comply with the General Plan to construct raised landscaped medians. Responding to Commissioner Slaven's concern relative to the speed of travel around the hotel as well as the speed of those motorists traversing from Wendy's to the Golden Corral, Project Planner Donahoe indicated that no speed bumps have been proposed. City Engineer Parks hoted that staff would not favor conditioning/requiring an applicant to install speed bumps in parking lots because of the potential liability the City could assume. He stated the control of speed, ,on site, should be the responsibility of the applicant. 4 Mr. Larry Markham, 41750 Winchester Road, commended Project Planner Donahoe on a job well done; expressed concurrence with the recommended conditions of approval with the exception of Police Department Condition No. 8 (location of address numbers on the roof); expressed a willingness to reduce the originally requested 45' high sign to 35' high (32' sign and 3' herre), noting that a sign of this height would create better northbound and southbound freeway visibility. Although understanding the intent of the Police Department Condition No. 8, Mr. Markham suggested that the address be placed in the parking lot or in the landscaped area. Providing clarification with regard to Condition No. 8, Project Planner Donahoe advised that this is a newly imposed condition by the Police Department in order to aid helicopter surveillance. With regard to the proposed FAR of 0.38 (floor area ratio), Mr. Markham advised that a multi-story building such as the one proposed will have a higher FAR than a standard commercial center. Further describing the project, Mr. Markham noted that 100% of the transient occupancy tax generated will go directly to the City and that this tax will not be shared with the County. He stated the proposed air conditioning units are standard in the industry, and that in light of the acoustic generation from the freeway, Jefferson Avenue, and Overland Overpass, he would not envision these units to create a noise impact. Finally that the standards with regard to the placement of fire hydrants will be followed; that the applicant did not intend to construct spcc~ bumps at this time; and that there would be no objection to the median requirement. In response to Commissioner Miller, Mr. Markham advised that decibels are not additive and he voiced no objection to the imposition of a condition to provide an acoustic footprint prior to the issuance of building permits or to limit the project noise level not to exceed the ambient noise level. By way of color fie samples, Mr. Dean Davidson, 28441 Rancho California Road, architect representing the applicant, reviewed the proposed fie (tangerine) as well as two other color tiles, noting that the applicant would voice no objection to either one of the three different tiles. With regard to the grill system, Mr. Davison advised that the functional reason for the grill (tubular steel) is to cover up the air conditioning units protruding from the building and that it also aesthetically breaks the facade and provides detail. With regard to recommended Condition No. 2 (Police Department condition '- applicant shall ensure all tress on the property are kept away from the main building to deter roof accessibility), Mr. Vince Denardo, 28441 Rancho California Road, landscaping architect representing the ~applicant, noted that palm trees (initially 6' to 8' tall) are being proposed to compliment the Mediterranean architecture and that palm trees are hard to climb and, therefore, would not, aid in easy accessibility to the roof. R:XPLANCO~\I997~-I/.g7.WlpD 10/17/97v~v 5 Following some Commission discussion with regard to possibly mending or deleting Police Department Condition No. 2, Deputy City Attorney Estrada recommended that the condition be deleted versus mended. Commissioner Miller requested that staff further address, with the Police Department, the intent of this condition and its impact on planning projects, specifically those with sloped roofs. Because the proposed structure will be a three-story building, Commissioner Soltysiak expressed no concern regarding to the proposed FAR; concurred with the applicant' s request to construct a 35' high sign; and suggested that Police Department Condition No. 8 (placement of address numbers) be mended as follows: "that the address shall be painted on site at an approved location other than the roof ." Commissioner Slaven suggested that the Fire and Police Departments be requested to make a presentation to the Planting Commission providing more detail explanation with regard to newly imposed conditions of approval. Providing additional clarification relative to Condition No. 74 ( Fire Department vehicle access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 24 feet and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13'6"). Senior Planner Hogan, in response to Commissioner Guerriero, noted that if speed bumps were constructed, they would probably be placed along the easement, parallel to Jefferson Avenue, and that this location would not interfere with Fire Department accessibility. Considering the damage speed bumps can do to the Fire Department's heavy equipment, Mr. Guerriero suggested that this matter be discussed as well with the Fire Department. Because of the false sense of security pedesU'ians have in the vicinity of Wendy's and the Golden Corral, Commissioner Slaven explained her suggestion to install speed bumps in order to slow down the traffic which traverses from Wendy's to the Golden Corral. In response to Commissioner Soltysiak, Senior Planner Hogan advised that the Police Department would be apprised of any changes made by the Planning Commission to the recommended conditions of approval and that compliance with these conditions would be coordinated through the Planning Department. With regard to the recently approved Best Western sign, Associate Planner Donahoe advised that this sign (137 square feet), because of the reduction in elevation, was approved at 45' high, noting that this reduction in elevation does not occur at the subject site. Although concurring with the conm'uction of a sign 30' to 35' high, Commissioner Miller relayed his opposition with regard to the calculation of the square footage of a sign. Project Planner Donahoe briefly reviewed the measurements used to determine the square footage of a sign, advising that the proposed sign will be 186 square feet. With regard to the roof tile color, Commissioner Miller expressed his preference for #106 Mission Red Flashed (Lifetile) to which the applicant voiced no objection. MOTION: Commissioner Miller moved for the approval of the request as conditioned by staff and deleting and amending the following conditions: Condition No. 2 (applicant shall ensure all trees on the property are kept away from the main building, to deter roof accessibility); Condition No. 8 (Police Department Condition -- the address for the location shall be painted on the roof using numbers no less than 2' tall in a color which contrasts the background) to read as follows: "the address for the location shall be painted on site at an approved location other than the roof; Condition No. 11 (the colors and materials used shall conform substantially with Exhibit I [Color and Material Board] or as amended by these conditions) reflecting a change in color tile to Lifetile #106 (Mission Red Flashed) versus #634 (Tangerine); o that the overall height of the proposed sign be reduced to 35'. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Soltysiak and voice vote of those present reflected unanimous approval (Chainroman Fahey absent). PIANNING MANAGF. R'S RF, PORT In light of Planning Manager Ubnoske's absence, Senior Planner Hogan advised that Planning Manager Ubnoske had requested that this matter be continued to the next meeting. PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that representatives from the Police and Fire Departments attend a Commission meeting and provide more detailed information with regard to recent newly imposed conditions on specific planning projects. A1).IOURNMF. NT At 7:25 P.M., Acting Chairwoman Slaven formally adjourned the Planning Commission me~ting to Monday, October 6, 1997, at 6:00 P.M. Linda Fahey, Chairwoman Planning Manager Ubnoske ITEM #3 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Debbie Ubnoske, Planning Manager DATE: October 20, 1997 SUBJECT: Planning Application No. PA97-O279 for Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity a for Nightclub Use at 28822 Front Street (Units 203 & 204) - Lee Cornwell Prepared by: John De Gange, Project Planner GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Service Commercial (SC) EXISTING ZONING: Service Commercial (SC) SURROUNDING ZONING: North: South: East: West: SC (Service Commercial) SC (Service Commercial) Interstate 15 SC (Service Commercial) BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting the Planning Commission make a public convenience or necessity finding in order to sell and serve beer, wine and distilled spirits within the confines on-site within a proposed nightclub use at 28822 Front Street (Units 203 & 204). This finding is required because the applicant is requesting a Type//48 license (On-Sale General Public Premises) from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). The applicant proposes to sell alcohol on-site to patrons 21 years or older in age on-site within a proposed night club use. ANALYSIS The Planning Commission has developed criteria to either justify or not justify making a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity pursuant to State Law. These criteria and Staff's preliminary responses are as follows: Criteria to Justifv Making a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity Q: Does the' proposed establishment have any unique features which are not found in other similar uses in the community (i.e. types of games, types of food, other special services)? A: NO. ~" Q: Does the proposed establishment cater to an under-served population (i.e. patro,ns of a different socio-economic class}? Yes. The project is located near a low-income area of Temecula, where few entertainment opportunities are present. Does the proposed establishment provide entertainment that would fill a niche in the community (i.e. a comedy club, jazz club, etc.) Yes. This establishment would provide rock style musical entertainment in a service oriented commercial center which unique within southern portion of the City. Another dance club use, the Temecula Stampede, located approximately 1/4 mile to the north of this project caters to country music oriented clientele. Would the proposed mode of operation of the proposed establishment (i.e. sales in conjunction with gasoline sales, tours, etc.) be unique or differ from that of other establishments in the area? A: No. Are there any geographical boundaries (i.e. rivers, hillsides) or traffic barriers (i.e. freeways, major roads, major intersections) separating the proposed establishment from other establishments? Yes. The site is adjacent to Interstate 15 which separates the project area from the residential areas across the freeway. On the other side of Front Street is Muftieta Creek which serves as a barrier between the site and residential areas and Rotary Park along Pujol Street. Is the proposed establishment located in an area where there is a significant influx of population during certain seasonal periods7 Yes. The site is located near Old Town Temecula which serves as a tourist recreational destination for a number of out of town patrons. Tourist destinations are generally seasonal in nature. Criteria to Not Justify Making a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessitv Is there a proliferation of licensed establishments within a quarter mile of the proposed establishment? No, there are only eight other licensed establishments within a quarter mile of the proposed establishment. The majority of these are restaurant uses where alcohol is served iqcidental to the service of food. Are there any sensitive uses (i.e., schools, parks, hospitals, churches) in close proximity (600 feet) to 1he proposed establishment? No. 2 Q: Would the proposed establishment interfere with these sensitive uses? A: No. Would the proposed establishment interfere with the quiet enjoyment of their property by the residents of the area? No. There are no residential areas located within the direct vicinity of the project and there are significant barriers (I-15 and Murrieta Creek) separating the proposed use from residential areas and Rotary Park across the channel. Q: Will the proposed establishment add to law enforcement problems in the area? Any potential law enforcement issues will be addressed within the Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit for this project. Number of similar uses within the City Three. The Stampede on Front Street in Old Town, Shakespear's on north Jefferson Avenue, and Rockin' Baja Lobster on Ynez Road. Number of other licensed establishments within I mile and 3 miles There are six licensed grocery/marts and nineteen restaurants within one (1) mile of the subject establishment. A three mile radius encompasses the licensed establishments along Ynez Road, Front Street and at the Vail Ranch Center on State Highway 79 South, a total of ninety-seven businesses. Conclusion Staff recommends the Commission review the information included in this report and make the appropriate finding. Attachments: Exhibits - Blue Page 4 A. Vicinity Map B. General Plan Map C.

PROPOSED ZONING: Not requested GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: O (Office Professional) with a Specific Plan Overlay EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: South: East: West: Santa Gertrudis Creek Vacant Single Family Residential Development Vacant PROJECT STATISTICS Total Site Area: 5.15 acres Building Area: 98,165 square feet of storage area and 2,258 square feet of office/residential area. Number of Storage Units: 687 Landscape Area: 10,346 square feet on-site and 1,815 square feet off-site (12, 161 sq. ft. total) Paved Area: 97,528 square feet Parking Required: Parking Provided: Building Height: Residential/Office: Storage Units: Four (4) parking spaces (including parking for Residential Unit) Seven (7) parking spaces (including parking for Residential Unit) Twenty Two and One Half (22'-6") Feet Twelve (12) Feet BACKGROUND Planning Application No. 97-0170 was submitted to the Planning Department on May 16, 1997. Two Development Review Committee (DRC) meetings were held on June 17, 1997 and September 10, 1997, respectively. The subject property is a portion of a 9.20 acre site that consists of four (4) underlying legal parcels. The project crosses the existing property lines; therefore the applicant has submitted a lot line adjustment to move the existing property lines so that the proposed development will not cross any property lines. The boundary adjustment will create three parcels in front of the subject parcel, and one large 5.15 acre parcel at the north end of the site where the self- storage is being proposed. The project will be conditioned for the approval of the boundary adjustment prior to issuance of building permits. A notice of filing sign stating an application had been filed was posted on August 13, 1997. In addition, standard public notice packages were sent out to properties within a 600' radius also notifying residences that the application had been filed and of the scheduled public hearing date. The notifications resulted in several calls of opposition from residences in the adjacent development (Sum~erfield) and the Roripaugh Hills residential development across Nicolas Road. R:~STAFFRF~I70PA97.PCI 10/16197 cod 2 Staff did meet with some of the residents to discuss the land use classification of the Specific Plan, the permitted land uses within Planning Area 8, the project design and mitigation measures. The residents who have contacted the City are opposed to the project because they thought the land would only be developed as office uses pursuant to a Specific Plan Amendment (PA93-0145) approved in 1993. That amendment changed the land use designations from High Density Residential to Office. Staff has explained to the residents that the Specific Plan incorporates Article IX, Section 9.4 of Ordinance 348 which allows self- storage facilities upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The residents also expressed opposition to the storage facility for the following reasons: increased traffic; visual impacts on the existing residential developments; an overall loss of property values; the storage of recreational vehicles with large amounts of propane and gasoline; and the types of activities that "could" happen in the units such as drug laboratories and storage of stolen materials from their houses. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A Conditional Use Permit for the design, construction and operation of a 96,165 square foot self storage facility with 687 units, a two story residential manager's unit and office building of 2,258 square feet, recreation vehicle parking, and associated parking and landscaping on a 5.15 acre site. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The project is located within the Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan (No. 164) in Planning Area 8 which is zoned Office and Commercial. The Specific Plan incorporates Article IX, Section 9.4 of Ordinance 348 for development standards and permitted land use types. As proposed, the project complies with the development standards such as lot coverage, setbacks, height limitations, landscaping and parking. ANALYSIS Comoatibilitv with Surrounding Development The proposed self-storage facility is on a site that is zoned office/commercial which allows a self-storage facility upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The property is surrounded by the Santa Gertrudis Creek to the north, vacant office/commercially zoned land to the south and west, and a single family residential development to the east. Staff has determined that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses of vacant office/commercially zoned property to the south and west, as well as the existing residential development to the east. The project is a commercial use proposed on an office/commercial zoned property that is conditionally permitted. Self-storage facilities are not intensive or typically noisy uses and generate less traffic than other office and commercial uses. The original Specific Plan was approved with a requirement for an expanded setback next to the adjacent residential uses. As a result, the project was designed with a 25' setback from the adjacent residential development and a 25' rear yard setback along the Santa Gertrudis Creek. The rear y;~d is much larger on the northwest side which is being utilized as an R.V. parking area. The project was designed to incorporate similar colors and materials of the adjacent residential development to the east. The applicant has also contacted Riverside County Flood Control and was successful in obtaining permission to remove the existing chain link fence and install a higher quality wrought iron fence along the northern property line which abuts the Creek. The project has been designed to architecturally complement the adjacent residential development in terms of design, colors, materials, height, bulk and mass and enhanced landscaping. The proposed landscaping along the north, south and east sides will help mitigate any potential visual impacts and serve as a buffer for the adjacent residential development. In addition, the subject site is not located immediately adjacent to Nicolas Road, but is located at the northern end of Planning Area 8. When the vacant parcels to the south and west are developed, the self-storage development will be further screened from Nicholas Road and the surrounding residential developments. There is also a triangular shaped piece of property adjacent to the northeast section of the subject site that is owned by a private entity. The applicant is working on acquiring this piece of property from Flood Control, and if the applicant is successful, will incorporate this area into the subject site to alleviate a possible dead zone adjacent to the creek. Staff expects to address this minor addition to the project administratively continuing the established setbacks and landscaping pattern. Site Design The project is at the northern portion of Planning Area 8 and is proposed to be accessed off Nicolas Road by a 28' wide paved driveway which separates the front parcels. The access driveway will be conditioned to maintain a minimum of forty (40) feet. The proposed development has good internal site circulation and meets the Fire Department's requirements with respect to turning radii. The development has adequate ingress and egress to accommodate the proposed development. There are five (5) parking spaces near the office building and two spaces in the attached garage of the residential unit to service employees and the public. Architecture The self-storage facility and two bedroom, two bath manager's unit were designed specifically to be compatible with the existing residential development to the east and south by using similar neutral colors, materials, fencing and appropriate bulk and mass. The office building is twenty two and one-half (22'6") feet in height and the storage units are twelve (12) feet in height (not 10' as shown on the elevations). The proposed structures are in proper scale with the adjacent one and two story residences which are approximately 16' and 23' in height respectively. The south elevation, or main entry, has a security wrought iron gate and stucco fence which is the exterior of the buildings. The buildings along the west elevation also serve as an exterior wall. All exterior walls will be painted to match the color of the existing block wall of the adjacent development to the east. All exterior walls will have projected pilasters throughout the walls to add architectural interest and break-up the long, linear walls. Future landscaping along the west elevation is expected to be installed when the shopping center is constructed, R:~TAFFRPT~I70PA~7.]~CI 10/16/97 cod 4 The office/manager's unit will have a clay tile mission style roof which is similar in design and material as the adjacent residences. The storage units will have ribbed, metal roofs that will be painted a terra cotta color to match the roof color of the residential unit/office building and the roofs of the adjacent residential development. The storage buildings will have metal, roll-up doors that will be painted a cedar red color to create a contrast with walls between the units. The buildings exterior, or exterior walls, will have projected pilasters to add architectural articulation to break up the linear appearance of the walls. Signage is being requested with this approval. A separate sign program will be approved under a separate application. Buffering Treatment for Single Familv Residences Adjacent to the East The adjacent residential development is at a higher elevation than the subject site by approximately four to five feet. The houses are single and two story structures, and are approximately 16' and 23' in height respectively. Some of the adjacent houses will be able to look over the storage units (see line of site provided on the color elevation of the office building/manager's unit attached as Exhibit G). However, the project is designed with a twenty-five (25) foot setback adjacent to the residential development and the applicant is providing enhanced landscaped within this setback area to create a buffering between the two developments (see colored landscaped wall elevation attached hereto as Exhibit F). The proposed site design also mitigates visual impacts by placing the R.V. parking away from the residences at the northwest portion of the site and along the northern property line adjacent to the Creek. The applicant is proposing to further mitigate potential visual impacts by providing a compatible, quality design with similar materials, colors and fencing which coordinates with the existing residential developments. Landscaping The project proposes 12,161 square feet (5.4%) of landscaped area with 10,346 square feet (4.6%) on site and 1,815 square feet on the adjacent parcel to the south. Neither the Specific Plan or Article IX of Ordinance 348 have minimum landscaping requirements. The applicant has provided landscaping on the north, south and east sides, with enhanced landscaping on the east elevation to provide visual relief and buffering for the adjacent residential development. Landscaping has also been added around the office/manager's unit to soften this elevation and to add interest to the parking area. Five (5) feet of the landscaping for the south elevation is located on the parcel directly south, approximately 1,815 square feet. No internal landscaping is provided except for the parking area near the office building. Staff feels that landscaping on the exterior or perimeter of the development is more beneficial than internal landscaping because it is more visible and helps to provide screening of the walls and fences. Furthermore, autos, truck, moving vans, and large recreational vehicles will be traversing and maneuvering throughout the development to get into and out of storage units and could easily damage interior landscaping. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is O (Office Professional). The City General Plan incorporated the existing Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan when it was approved in 1993. Because of this, the project as proposed is consistent with the Specific Plan, Ordinance 348 and the General Plan. The existing zoning for the site is Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan (No. 164) located in Planning Area 8 which is zoned Office/Commercial. Planning Area 8 incorporates Article IX, Section 9.4 of Ordinance 348 which allows self-storage facilities upon approval of a conditional use permit. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION 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 for the project. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated. FINDINGS The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan land use designation of O (Office Professional), the Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan No. 164, and the applicable portion of Ordinance 348, requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City of Temecula including: Ordinance No. 655 (Mt. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses (residential developments and vacant commercial land) in that it is not an intensive use, it is not typically a noise use, and it has been designed to architecturally complement the surrounding uses in terms of design, colors, materials, height, and bulk and mass. Moreover, the enhanced landscaping on the east elevation and twenty-five (25) foot landscape area will help mitigate any potential visual impacts and serve as a buffer for the adjacent residential development. Therefore, it is determined that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding development and will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The site for the proposed conditional use is ade~luate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and required by the Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighboyhood. s The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety'~and welfare of the community. The project will meet all City Ordinances adopted by ~tt~e city of Temecula designed for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare~ and will not be detrimental to the community. R:~STAFFRP~I70PA97.11~CI 10/16/97 ~od 6 The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the project for a Conditional Use Permit is based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission or City Council on appeal.

The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses (detached single family and vacant office/commercially zoned land) in that it is not an intensive use, it is not typically a noise use, and it has been designed to architecturally complement the surrounding uses in lm~ns of design, colon, materlal~; height, and bulk and mass. Moreover, the proposed twenty-five foot setback adjacent to the resideoffal development has been designed to provide enhanced landscaping which will help mitigate potential visual impacts and serve as an interface for the residential development. Therefore, it is determined that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding development and will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. C. The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Specific Plan No., 164, Roripaugh Estates and applicable sections of Ordinance 348 and required by the Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.

City of Temecula General Plan. 2. City of Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. 3. South Coast Air Quality Management Dis~ct CEQA Air Quality Handbook. 4. City of Temecula Development Code 32 DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Land Use and Planning The proposed self-storage facility is consistent with the Zoning designation of SP (Specific Plan). The subject site is located in Planning Area 8 of the Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan//164. Self-storage facilities are a conditionally permitted use pursuant to the Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan which references Article IX of Ordinance 348 for permitted uses. 1.b. The project will not conflict with applicable environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project is located within a Specific Plan area and is zoned "SP" which is consistent with the Specific Plan Overlay Map of the General Plan. The Roripaugh Estates Specific Plan was approved by Riverside County prior to the adoption of the General Plan Land Use map, and was determined to be consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of "0" Office. Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for (EIR) the General Ran. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The project site has not been previously graded, but services are available in the area. There will not be any environmental effects on environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.C. The proposed self-storage facility could potentially be considered incompatible and could impact the existing adjacent residential development project to the east. Therefore, a conditional use permit (CUP) has been required for this use given the possibility of the impact of this type of use on neighboring properties. In order to mitigate the impacts of this type of use on the adjacent properties, the project proposes and is conditioned to provide additional landscaping both in size and quantity to buffer this use from the adjacent residential development as well as additional architectural treatments to the manager's residential unit and office building so the structure looks more residential in design. The additional landscaping on the east, south and north will provide visual relief and interest along the long exterior walls. With the integrated architectural details and additional landscaping, no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.8. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minority community). The project is a self-storage facility surrounded by an existing single family residential development to the east, vacant land to the west and south, and the Santa Gertrudis Creek and recreational bike trail to the north. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site. Furthermore, the site is an office-commercial zoned property that does not allow residential developments. No significant effects are anticipated aS a result of this project. PoDulation and Housing 2.8. The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The project is a self-storage facility which is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of Community Office. Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and is intended to serve the needs of the existing residents, the proposed development will not be a significant contributor to population growth which will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.b. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the underlying zoning of Office-Commercial for Planning Area 8 of the Roripaugh Specific Plan. The project will not likely cause people to relocate to or within Temecula, but will serve the needs of existing residents. Therefore, the project will not induce substantial growth in the area, and no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.c. The project will not displace any type of housing. The project site is vacant office- commercial zoned property; therefore no housing will be displaced. One residential unit will be provided for the manager of the site. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. Geologic Problems 3. a,b, c,f,h. 3.d The project may have a significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. The project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active, and is located relatively close to the Wildomar Fault Zone. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as part of the application submittal and recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate conditions of approval. The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. Increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site may occur during the construction phase of the project and the 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. Modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant since modifications will be consistent with the surrounding development. Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compadtion of the soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazard. The project is not located in an area where any of these hazards could occur. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. 4.b. 4.c. 4.d,e. 4.f-h. The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental Impact for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not impact 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. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff; however, these changes are considered less than significant due to the scale of the project. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design, grading and drainage plans. A previously constructed drainage channel will be upgraded as part of this project. Drainage conveyances for the project will be designed and constructed to safely and adecluately handle runoff which is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project could have a impact to people or property to water related hazards such as flooding because a small portion of the project site is located in a flood zone. The north portion of the site, adjacent to the Santa Gertrudis Creek, is located in the 100 year floodway. However, the finished floors of the buildings will be required to be elevated one (1 ') above the 100 year water surface elevation. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project may have a potentially significant effect on 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 recluirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have a less than significant impact in a change in the amount of surface water in any water body or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface runoff will occur because I~reviously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. However, the storm drain facilities that are proposed are designed to accept and convey the flows for the proposed development to the Santa Gertrudis Creek. Increased runoff due to the project is considered insignificant as compared to the size of the total watershed that draws to the Santa Gertrudis Creek. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. ,-: The projectswill have a less than significant change in the quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an acluifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability. Limited changes will occur in the quantity and quality of ground waters; however, due to the minor scale of the project, it will not be considered significant. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4.i. The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater water otherwise available for public water supplies. According to information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan, "Rancho California Water District indicate that they can accommodate additional water demands." Water service currently exists in the immediate proximity to the project. 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. Air Quality The project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The project (100,423 square feet of self-storage and manager's unit) is below the threshold for potentially significant air quality impact (276,000 square feet) established by South Coast Air Quality Management District (Page 6-11, Table 6-2 of the South Coast Air Quality Management CEQA Air Quality Handbook). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.b. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant pollutants in proximity to the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5,c. The project will not alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The limited scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.d. The project could create objectional odors during the construction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. Transportation/Circulation 6.8. The project will result in a less than significant increase in vehicle trips; however it will add to traffic congestion. It is anticipated that this project will contribute less than a five percent (5%) increase in existing volumes during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour time frames to the intersections of Nicolas Road and Winchester Road. The applicant will be required to pay traffic signal mitigation fees and public facility fees as conditions of approval for the project. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts'are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.b. The project ~vill not result in hazards to safety from design features. The project is designed to-current City standards and does not propose any hazards to safety from design featares. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.c. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adecluate emergency access. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.d. The project will have sufficient parking capacity on-site. The proposed self-storage facility is not a high-intensive parking use as users drive up to there individual units to load and unload. Staff has determined that there is sufficient on-site parking spaces provided, including two designated spaces for the manager's residential unit. As a result, off-site parking will not be impacted as renters usually drive up to the individual storage units and load or unload. Renters do not typically park at the office and walk to their unit. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.e. The project will not result in hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists. Hazards or barriers to bicyclists have not been included as part of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.f. The project will not result in conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The proposed development does not impede the utilization or development of policies supporting alternative modes of transportation. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.g. The project will not result in impacts to rail, waterborne or air traffic since none exists currently in the immediate proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Biological Resources 7.a, The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, including, but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds. The project site has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on or adjacent to the site. Further, there is no indication that any wildlife species exist 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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.b. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated species. Locally designated species are protected in the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan; however, they are not protected elsewhere in the City. Since this project is not located in Old Town, and since there are no locally designated species on site, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.c. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated natural communities. Referen'ce response 7.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.d. The project will not result in an impact to wetland habitat. There is no wetland habitat on-site or w~thin proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 37 7.e. The project will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site does not serve as part of a migration corridor. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Energy and Mineral Resources The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. The project will result in a less than significant impact for the use of non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. There will be an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource during construction (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber), as well as the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s) 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. 8.c. The project will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State. No known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State are located at this project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.a. The project will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset conditions since none are proposed in the request. The same is true for the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. Large quantities of these types of substances will not be associated with this use. The Department of Environmental Health has reviewed the project and the applicant must receive their clearance prior to any plan check submittal. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.b. 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 project will take access from a 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. 9.c. The project will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 38 9.d. The project will not expose people to existing sources of potential health hazards. No health hazards are known to be within proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.e. The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with flammable brush, grass, or trees. The project is a self-storage development with vacant land to the south and west, and a residential development to the east. The project is not located within or proximate to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Noise 10.a. The proposal will result in a less than significant increase to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and development of the land logically will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Long-term noise generated by this project would be similar to or less than the residential development to the east, and the future office/commercial uses that will occur in the immediate area. No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long-term. lO.b. The project may expose people to severe noise levels during the development/construction phase (short run). 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. There will be no long-term exposure of people to noise. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Public Services 11.a, b. The project will have a less than significant impact 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. 11.c. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula, and therefore, will not result in a need for new or altered school facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 11.d. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. 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. The Gasoline Tax is sufficient to cover any of the proposed expenses. 11.e. The project will not have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities and Service Systems 12.a. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. These systems are currently being delivered in proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.b. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to communication systems (reference response No. 12.a.). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.c. The project will not result in the need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.d. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sanitary sewer systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.e. The proposal will result in a less than significant need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to storm water drainage. The project will need to provide some additional on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project and will tie into the existing system. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.f. 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. 12.9. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water supplies. Reference response 12.d. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthetics 13.a. The project will not have a impact on a scenic vista or scenic highway as the City does not have any~designated scenic highways. The project is not located in an area where there is a scenic vista. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. r:~affrP~'x170Im97'Pcl 40 13.b. The project could have a potentially significant demonstrable negative aesthetic affect. The site is in an area of existing office and commercial zoned property to the south and west, and residential uses to the east and southeast. The design review process of the proposed development has mitigated the potential significant visual impacts to the adjacent and close by residential developments through the use of similar materials and colors, site design, architectural relief on the exterior walls, heavy landscaping, and limiting the bulk and mass of the structures. The exterior proposed building is consistent with other designs in the area and proposed landscaping will provide additional aesthetic enhancement. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. The project will have a potentially significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in light/glare, as will almost all new development. All light and glare 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). In addition, all onsite security lighting will be shielded to direct light away from the existing residences. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 14.8- C. The project will not have an impact on paleontological, archaeological or historical resources. The site is not located is areas of sensitivity for archaeological and paleontological pursuant to the General Plan maps (Figures 5-6 and 5-7). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.d. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values. Reference response 14.a,c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.e. The project will not restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. No religious or sacred uses exist at the site or are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 15. The project will have a less than significant impact or increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula, but will primarily serve the needs of the existing residents. However, it will result in an incremental impact or in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The same is true for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 41 ATTACHMENT NO. 3 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM r:~ffrpt~lTOpt97.p¢l 42 I .and Use and Planning General Impact: Mitigation Measure: Specific Process: Mitigation Milestone: Responsible Monitoring Party: Mitigation Monitoring Program planning Application No. PA97-0170 (Conditional Use Permit - ZB Investment) The proposed use be'rag incompatible with the existing land use in the vicinity.

The project was scheduled for a Development Review Committee (DRC) on August 28, 1997. The project was qualified as a Fast Track project at the beginning of September. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is the design and construction of five (5) light industrial speculative buildings on five separate legal parcels totaling 50,792 square feet with associated parking, landscaping and hardscape on 5.65 acres. The individual building square footages are as follows: Parcel 14 is 9,832 gross square feet; Parcel 15 is 9,490 gross square feet; Parcel 16 is 9,490 gross square feet, Parcel 17 is 10,488 gross square feet and Parcel 18 is 11,492 gross square feet. The project is located in an area known as the Westside Business Park. ANALYSIS Site Design The project is adjacent to Winchester Road and is just southwest of the intersection of Zevo Drive and Winchester Road. The development will take access from Winchester Road. The buildings are located at the front (north) portion of the sites with parking located at the side and rear of the each building. Parcels 14 and 15 and Parcels 16 and 17 have shared accesses off of Winchester .Road. As proposed, there will not be vehicular circulation throughout the development as the applicant is proposing fenced yards at the rear (south) portion of the parcels. However, the applicant states that the fenced yards may not be constructed if the tenants do not need them. Therefore, the fences may not be constructed which would result in better interna cir~t~lat on throughout the site. The main entry of the buildings will be to the northeast, taking advantage of views to the east. Several outdoor employee patio areas have been provided on site. Architecture The buildings are proposed as one story, painted, tilt-up concrete with four different building colors and five different building accent colors (see color and material board). The north (front) elevations adjacent to Winchester have been articulated by reveals, recessed glass tile accents, windows, and accent color bands (see colored rendering). All other visible elevations have been articulated through the use of reveals, recessed glass tile accents, and the varying building colors to add visual interest and break up the elevations. The main entrances to the buildings are at the front comers adjacent to the parking lot. The main entries have been defined with recessed entries and heavy use of windows (glazing) to help identify them. The buildings are the same overall design; and will be differentiated by an accent color band on the north elevation facing Winchester Road. The proposed signage for this development will be submitted under separate applications and shall be subject to the existing signage program that has been established for the development. Traffic Analysis The applicant will be required to pay traffic signal mitigation fees and public facility fees as conditions of approval for the project. After mitigation measures are performed and fees paid, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. It has been determined that the additional increase in traffic will be less than 5%. Landscaping The minimum landscape requirement for the Light Industrial zone is twenty percent (20%). The landscaping provided is consistent with the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement. The applicant is responsible for the revegetation of the slope at the south ends of the parcels. The applicant has included this vegetated slope area in the total landscape calculations which cause the landscape percentages to be as follows: Parcel 14 at 52.50%; Parcel 15 at 53.70%; Parcel 16 at 54%; Parcel 17 at 49.87% and Parcel 18 at 62.27%. The landscaping for the project was reviewed by the Landscape Architect in relationship to the site design and proper screening and buffering of the buildings. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed the landscape plan and the applicant has addressed comments on the plan. Evergreen trees and shrubs are used along Winchester Road and throughout the site for year round screening. Compatibilitv with Surrounding DeveloDment All of the buildings are proposed at 22'-6" in height. The area is currently vacant with a large sloped area to the west. The Four - Sher development project was approved to the east of this site, and has commenced grading work on the site. There are other industrial buildings in the surrounding area that are compatible in bulk, mass, color and design. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). Existing zoning for the site is LI (Light Industrial). Manufacturing/office/warehouse uses are permitted with the approval of a development plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the Development Code. The project as proposed is consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION 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 for the project. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project consists of the design and construction of five speculative light industrial buildings on five separate legal parcels with associated office and warehouse uses totaling 50,792 square feet, and associated parking, landscaping and hardscape on 5.65 acres. The proposed buildings are painted, tilt-up concrete. All elevations have been articulated through the use of reveals, windows (glazing) and varying building and paint colors. Landscaping provided is consistent with the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone. The project as proposed is consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan. The Initial Study prepared for the project has 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 for the project. 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 Development Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Mr. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions.

R:~TAFFRPT~2S3PA~7.PC2 10/16/97klb 29 DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Land Use and Planning 1.b. The project will not conflict with applicable environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of BP (Business Park). Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for (EIR) the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The site has been previously graded and services within proximity of the project. There will be limited, if any environmental effects on environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minority community). The project is an industrial/office/warehouse use in an area surrounded by land that is currently planned to be developed with similar uses. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. PoDulation and Housing The project will not cumulativety exceed official regional or local population projections. The project is an industrial/office/warehouse use which is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of Business Park. Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and is within the floor area ratio range for Business Park identified in the General Plan, it will not be a significant contributor to population growth which will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.b. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Business Park. The project will cause people to relocate to or within Temecula; however, due to its limited scale, it will not induce substantial growth in the area. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not displace housing, especially affordable housing. The project site is vacant; therefore no housing will be displaced. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~'TAFFRFF~83PA97.PC2 10/16/97 kn~ 30 Geologic Problems c,g,h. The project will have a less than significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking; however, there may be a potentially significant impact from seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. The project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as part of the application submittal and recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate conditions of approval. The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.d. The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazard. The project is not located in an area where any of these hazards could occur. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.e, The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental Impact for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.f. The project will have a less than significant impact from erosion, changes in topography, grading or fill. The site has been previously graded and the project does not propose significant grading beyond that which has already occurred. Increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site may occur during the construction phase of the project and the 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, bardscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for 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. Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. The project will not impact 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. R:~STAFI~,F~283PAg?.PC2 10/16/fTkib ~1 4.b. 4,c. 4.d,e. 4.f-h. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff; however, these changes are considered less than significant. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoff which is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have a less than significant to people or property to water related hazards such as flooding because the project site is located outside of the 100 year floodway. However; the project is located within a dam inundation area as identified in the City of Temecuta General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. Impacts can be mitigated by utilizing existing emergency response systems and by assuring that these systems continue to maintain adequate service provision as the City develops. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project may have a potentially significant effect on 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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have a less than significant impact in a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface runoff will occur because previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. Due to the limited scale of the project, the additional amount of drainage will not considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have a less than significant change in the quantity and 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. Limited changes will occur in the quantity and quality of ground waters; however, due to the minor scale of the project, it will not be considered significant. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~STAFFRFr~83pAg?.PC2 10/16/97 k.lb 32 4.i. The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater water otherwise available for public water supplies. According to information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Ran, "Rancho California Water District indicate that they can accommodate additional water demands." Water service currently exists in the immediate proximity to the project. 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. Air Quality 5.a. The project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The project (five (5) speculative industrial/office/warehouse buildings on five (5) separate lots ) is below the threshold for potentially significant air quality impact (276,000 square feet) established by South Coast Air Quality Management District (Page 6-11, Table 6-2 of the South Coast Air Quality Management CEQA Air Quality Handbook). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.b. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant pollutants in proximity to the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.c. The project will not alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The limited scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.d. The project will create objectional odors during the construction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. TransDortation/Circulation 6.a. 6.b. While the project may result in an incremental increase in traffic congestion it will result in a less than significant increase in vehicle trips. It is anticipated that this project will contribute less than a five percent (5%) increase in existing volumes during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour time frames to the intersections of Zevo Drive and Winchester Road according to standard trip calculation methodologies. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Ran indicates the ultimate buildout of this area will result in a Level of Service (LOS) 'B'. The proposed development is in compliance with the land use and development standards of this zone which was analyzed in the EIR for the General Plan. Therefore it is determined that the proposed development will r~ot adversely affect the LOS for this area, but was included in the EIR analysis. The applicant will be required to pay traffic signal mitigation fees and public facilityfees as conditions of approval for the project. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in hazards to safety from design features. The project is designed to current City standards and does not propose any hazards to safety from design features. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.c. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses. The project is industrial/office/warehouse uses in an area with existing and planned similar uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. The project does not provide direct access to nearby uses; therefore, it will not impact access to nearby uses. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.d. The project will have sufficient parking capacity on-site. The applicant has completed a parking needs analysis based upon the uses proposed by this project. Based upon this analysis, there will be sufficient on-site parking spaces provided. Off-site parking will not be impacted. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.e. The project will not result in a less than significant impact from hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists. Hazards or barriers to bicyclists have not been included as part of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.f. The project will not result in conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The project was transmitted to the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and based upon their response to similar projects in the area, it is not anticipated the project will impact RTA facilities or services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.g. The project will not result in impacts to rail, waterborne or air traffic since none exists currently in the immediate proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Biological Resources 7.a. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, including, but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds. The project site has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on or adjacent to the site. Further, there is no indication that any wildlife species exist 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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.b. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated species. Locally designated species are protected in the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan; however, they are not protected elsewhere in the City. Since this project is not located in Old Town, and since there are no locally designated species on site, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 34 7.c. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated natural communities. Reference response 7.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.d. The project will not result in an impact to wetland habitat. There is no wetland habitat on-site or within proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.e. The project will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site does not serve as part of a migration corridor. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Energv and Mineral Resources The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. The project will result in a less than significant impact for the use of non- renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. While there will be an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s) (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. 8.c. The project will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State. No known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State are located at this project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.8. The project will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset conditions since none are proposed in the request. The same is true for the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials, Large quantities of these types of substances will not be associated with this use. The Department of Environmental Health has reviewed the project and the applicant must receive their clearance prior to any plan check submittal. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.b. 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 project will take access from a 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:~STAI~FRFI'~.S3PA~7.PC2 lO/16/cJ'/k]b 9.c. The project will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.d. The project will not expose people to existing sources of potential health hazards. No health hazards are known to be within proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.e. The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with flammable brush, grass, or trees. The project is a industrial/office/warehouse development in an area of existing and future similar uses. The project is not located within or proximate to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Noise lO.a. The proposal will result in a less than significant increase to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and development of the land logically wilt result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Long-term noise generated by this project would be similar to existing and proposed uses in the area. No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long-term. 10.b. The project may expose people to severe noise levels during the development/construction phase (short run}. 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. There will be no long-term exposure of people to noise. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Public Services 11 .a,b. The project will have a less than significant impact 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. 11.c. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula and therefore will not result in a need for new or altered school facilities. No significant impacts are ai~ticipated as a result of this project. 11.d. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. 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 R:~STAPPRPl~83PA~7.PC2 10/16~97 klb 36 considered significant. The Gasoline Tax is sufficient to cover any of the proposed expenses. 11.e. The project will not have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities and Service Svstems 12.a. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. These systems are currently being delivered in proximity to the site.

No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.d. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sanitary sewer systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.e. The proposal will result in a less than significant need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to storm water drainage. The project will need to provide some additional on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project and will tie into the existing system. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.f. 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. 12.g. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water supplies. Reference response 12.d. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~STAFFP, PT~83PA~7.PC2 10/16/97 klb 37 /~,esthetics 13.a. The project will not affect a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in a area where there is a scenic vista. Further, the City does not have any designated scenic highways. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.b. The project may have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect unless mitigation measures are incorporated into the project design. The project is a industrial/office/warehouse use in an area of existing and proposed similar uses. The buildings are of quality design with defined main entries. Potential aesthetic impacts have been mitigated through architectural enhancements and landscaping along the elevations and Winchester Road frontage. After these elements are added into the project design, significant impacts will be mitigated to a level less than significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. The project will have a potentially significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in light/glare, as all development of this nature results in new light sources. All light and glare 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). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 14.a-c. The project will not have an impact on paleontological, archaeological or historical resources. The site has been disturbed from prior grading activity and any impacts to these resources would have been mitigated during the grading process. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.d. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values. Reference response 14.a,c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.e. The project will not restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. No religious or sacred uses exist at the site or are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 15.a,b. The project will have a less than significant impact or increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula. However, it will result in an incremental impact or in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The same is true for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or oppor~,unities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 38 ATTACHMENT NO. 3 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Mitigation Monitoring Program planning Application No. PA97-0283 (Development Plan, Winchester Ridge Business Park) Geologic Problems General Impact: Mitigation Measure: Specific Process: Mitigation Milestone: Responsible Monitoring Party: Expose people to impacts from seismic Found shaking.

A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on August 1, 1997. The project was deemed complete on October 1, 1997. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of the design and construction of a 14,548 square foot office, warehouse and manufacturing building on a 1.16 acre (50,530 square foot) parcel on Rio Nedo. ANALYSIS Site Design The project will take access from Rio Nedo. Parking is located along the side front of the building and the rear of the project. Loading facilities are on the north side (rear portion) of the building. An outdoor employee patio area will be located at the southwestern corner of the building. The applicant has complied with the performance standards outlined in the Development Code and the Design Guidelines (i.e, circulation, architectural design, site planning and design and compatibility). Architecture The architecture is consistent with other buildings in the area. The building will be tilt-up concrete, with reveals to break up the messing. The south and east elevations have been articulated by varyin,g~wall planes and building height, through the use of reveals and windows (glazing) and the use of alternating bands of painted surfaces along all four elevations. The west elevation, though large, expansive and somewhat blank, is adjacent to a five to seven foot R:~STAP~d~T~34PA~7.1~C 10/16/97jid 2 high (5' to 7') slope The loading facilities are located on the north elevation and will not be visible from the street. Landscaping Twenty percent (24 %) of the site has been landscaped. The landscaping provided is consistent with the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed the Landscape Plan and the applicant has addressed those comments on the Landscape Plan. The applicant has revised the site plan since the initial submittal in order to provide adequate turn-around for emergency vehicles. This revision required the removal of two parking spaces. Upon initial submittal the applicant was providing 27 parking spaces which met the requirements of the Development Code. With the revision of the site plan it is only possible to provide 25 spaces. A Minor Exception is being requested in order to address the reduction in parking. This request meets the conditions under which a Minor Exception can be granted in that it represents less than a 15% reduction in what is required. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). Existing zoning for the site is LI (Light Industrial). Manufacturing/office/warehouse uses are permitted with the approval of a Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the Development Code. The project as proposed is consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION 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 for the project. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Development Code. The applicant made a considerable effort to design the project so that it is not a nondescript industrial box and to conform with surrounding buildings, existing and proposed. In addition, the applicant has been responsive and worked with Staff to resolve any issues and concerns raised. FINDINGS (For Minor Exception) Grantingof the Minor Exception will not impact the public health, safety and general welfare of adjacent properties and the City of Temecula as a whole. The reduction in the amount of parking is less than 15% of what is required by the Development Code. R:x, STAFIqLtq'~I34PA97.PC 10/16/97jid 3 The reduction in the amount of parking is required due to the presence of a topographic constraint on site. As a consequence the project has been designed so that two parking spaces have been eliminated in order to provide space within the parking area to accommodate emergency vehicle turn-around distances. A practical difficulty exists on site due to the presence of a topographic constraint. The Minor Exception does not represent the granting of a special privilege which is not otherwise available to surrounding properties and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or to the property of other persons located in the vicinity. The granting of the Minor Exception to reduce the amount of required parking will not permit uses which are otherwise not allowed in the zone and adequate safeguards have been built into the approval of the project to protect surrounding properties. FINDINGS (For Project) The proposed land use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. The site has a General Plan designation Business Park (BP) and zoning classification of Light industrial (LI). Staff has determined that the project is consistent with the goals and policies contained within the General Plan and the development standards contained in the Development Code. The project is consistent with all City Ordinances including: the City's Development Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Mr. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions. The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. Similar industrial uses either currently exist or will be developed to the east, south and north of the site. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the project. Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that the project is consistent with the standards of the Development Code and the Design Guidelines. The nature of the proposed 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 assure that projects are is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Compliance with these documents will assure this is achieved. An Initial Study was prepared for the project and it has been 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 project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, or t~o wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site has been previously disturbed and rough graded in the past, and street improvements installed on site. There ire none of the standard indicators (obligate species) that might suggest R:~TAI~FRPT~34PAr/.i~C 10/16/97jid 4 that there are wetlands on site. The site does not serve as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can be made for this project. Attachments: PC Resolution - Blue Page 6 A.

Q LOCATEI} ON THE NORTH SIDE OF RIO NEDO, EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF RIO NEDO AND CALLE EMPLEADO AND KNOWN AS ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO. 909-290-026 WHEREAS, Harry and Ruth Cartwright filed Planning Application No. PA97-0234 in accordance with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code; WHEREAS, Planning Application No. PA97-0234 was processed in the time and manner prescribed by Stab and local law; WBEREAS, the Planning Commission considered Harming Application No. PA97-0234 on October 20, 1997, at a duly noticed public heating as prescribed by law, at which time interested persons had an oppenunity to testify either in support or in opposition; WHEREAS, at the public heating, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, the Commission considered all facts relating to Planning Application No. PA97-0234; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct. Section 2. F. ildiag~ The Planning Commission, in approving a Minor Exception for Planning Application No. PA97-0234 makes the following findings; to wit: 1. Granting of the Minor Exception will not impact the public health, safety and general welfare of adjacent properties and the City of Temecula as a whole. 2. The reduction in the mount of parking is less than 15 % of what is required by the Development Code. 3. The reduction in the amount of parking is required due to the presence of a topographic constraint on site. As a consequence the project has been designed so that two R:~TAIPA97.PC 10/16/97jid 7 parking spaces have been eliminated in order to provide space wig the parking area to accommodate emergency vehicle turn-around distances. 4. A practical difficulty exists on site due to the presence of a topographic constraint. The Minor Exception does not represent the granting of a special priv'fiege which is not otherwise available to surrounding properties and will not be deftmental to the public welfare or to the property of other persons located in the vicinity. 5. The granting of the Minor Exception to reduce the mount of required parking will not permit uses which are otherwise not allowed in the zone and adequate safeguards have been built into the approval of the project to protect surrounding pwperties. Section 3. ~ The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No. PA97-0234 makes the following findings; to wit: 1. The proposed land use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. The site has a General Plan designation Business Park (BP) and zoning classification of Light Industrial (L1). Staff has determined that the project is consistent with the goals and policies contained within the General Plan and the development standards contained in the Development Code. The project is consistent with all City Ordinances including: the City's Development Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Mt. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions. 2. The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, bttildings, and structures and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. Similar industrial uses either currently exist or will be developed to the east, south and north of the site. 3. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the project. Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that the project is consistent with the standards of the Development Code and the Design Guidelines. 4 .The nature of the proposed 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 assure that projects are is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Compliance with these documents will assure this is achieved. 5. An Initial Study was prepared for the project and it has been 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. \ R:XSTAPFRPT,134pA97.PC 10/16/~Tjid R 6. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, or to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site has been previously disturbed and rough graded in the past, and street improvements installed on site. There are none of the standard indicators (obligate species) that might suggest that there are weftands on site. The site does not serve as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can be made for this project. Section 3. Vnvimnmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this pwject indicates that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.

City of Tcm~cula Development Code R:\$TAFFRP'I"~4PA97.I~C 10/15/~Tjld 25 DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Land Use and Planning 1.a,b,c. The project will not conflict with the general plan designation or zoning, applicable environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project, nor be incompatible with existing land uses in the vicinity. The project is consistent with the City's General Ran Land Use Designation of BP (Business Park) and the zoning of L1 (Light Industrial). Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The project site has been previously graded and services have been extended into the area. There will be limited, if any environmental effects on environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. Similar industrial/warehouse/office buildings have already been constructed in the area. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.e. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minority community). The project is an industrial/office/warehouse use in an area surrounded by land that is planned to be developed with similar uses. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. Population and Housing 2.a. The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The project is an industrial/office/warehouse use which is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of Business Park. Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and does not exceed the floor area ratio for Business Park, it will not be a significant contributor to population growth which will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.b. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Business Park. The project will cause people to relocate to or within Temecula; however, due to its limited scale, it will not induce substantial growth in the area. The surrounding area is already developed and infrastructure is available to the site. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.c. The project will not displace housing, especially affordable housing. The project site is vacant; :therefore no housing will be displaced. No significant effects are anticipated as a resurt of this project. R:~STAFFI~Fr~34PAg~.I~C lO/16/~Tjid ~6 Geologic Problems 3.b,c,g,h. The project will have a less than significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking; however, there may be a potentially significant impact from seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. The project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, soil reports are required prior to grading and recommendations contained in this report are followed during construction. The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.d. The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazard. The project is not located in an area where any of these hazards could occur. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.8. The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental Impact for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.f. The project will have a less than significant impact from erosion, changes in topography, grading or fill. The site has been previously graded and the project does not propose significant grading beyond that which has already taken place. Increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site may occur during the construction phase of the project and the 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. 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. Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.1. The project will not impact 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. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff; however, these changes are considered less than significant. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface r~inoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainag~ conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoff which is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~STA~pA97.PC 10/16/97jid 4.c. 4.d,e. 4.f,g,h. 4.1. Air Qualitv 5.a. 5.b. 5.c. The project may have a potentially significant effect on 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. The project will have a less than significant impact in a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface runoff will occur because previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. Surface drainage will be channeled to Rio Nedo. Due to the limited scale of the project, the additional amount of drainage into the Murrieta Creek will not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will have a less than significant change in the quantity and 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. Limited changes will occur in the quantity and quality of ground waters; however, due to the minor scale of the project, it will not be considered significant. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater water otherwise available for public water supplies. According to information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan, "Rancho California Water District indicate that they can accommodate additional water demands." Water service currently exists in the immediate proximity to the project and will 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. The project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The project's 14,548 square feet of industrial/office/warehouse use is below the threshold for potentially significant air quality impact (276,000 square feet) established by South Coast Air Quality Management District. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant pollSrants in proximity to the project, nor will the project generate significant pollutants. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The proje~ will not alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The limited scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~TAl~RPT~234pAg?.I~ lO/16~r~jid 28 5.d. The project will create objectional odors during the construction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. Transportation/Circulation 6.8. The project will result in a less than significant increase in vehicle trips; however it will add to traffic congestion. The project is similar in nature and size to several adjacent developments which contribute less than a five percent (5%) increase in existing volumes during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour time frames to the intersection of Diaz Road and Rio Nedo. No further traffic studies were required for this project. The applicant will be required to pay traffic signal mitigation fees and public facility fees as conditions of approval for the proiect. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.b. The project will not result in hazards to safety from design features. The project is designed to current City standards and does not propose any hazards to safety from design features. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.c. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses. The project is a industrial/office/warehouse use in an area with existing and planned similar uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. The project does not provide direct access to nearby uses nor obstruct standard access to nearby uses. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.d. The project has been designed with sufficient parking capacity on-site for both vehicles and bicycles. The project will be conditioned to construct in accordance with Exhibits submitted during land use review. Off-site parking will not be impacted. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.e. The project will not result in hazards or barriers for pedestrians or b/cyclists. Hazards or barriers to bicyclists have not been included as part of the project, which pedestrian and bicycle path of travel has been provided. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.f. The project will not result in conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The project provides bicycle racks onsite and non-vehicular access to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.g. The project will not result in impacts to rail, waterborne or air traffic since none exists currently in the immediate proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Biological Resources 7.a. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, including but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds. The project she has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on or adjacent to the site. Further, there is no indication that any wildlife species exist 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 R:kSTAFFRFI'~Z~pA~'?.I~C lOI16/~Tjkt 29 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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.b,c. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated species or locally designated natural communities. Locally designated species are protected in the Old Town Temecula Specific Ran; however, they are not protected elsewhere in the City. Since this project is not located in Old Town, and since there are no locally designated species on site, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.d. The project will not result in an impact to wetland habitat. There is no wetland habitat on-site or within proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.e. The project will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site does not serve as part of a migration corridor. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Energy and Mineral Resources 8,a. The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. The project will result in a less than significant impact to the use of non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. There will be an increase in the rate of use of natural resources and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s) (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber). However, due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. 8.c. The project will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State. No known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State are located at this project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.a. 9.b. The project will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset conditions since none are proposed in the request. The same is true for the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. Large quantities of these types of substances will not be associated with this use. The Department of Environmental Health has reviewed the I~roject and the applicant must receive their clearance prior to any plan check submittal. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The pro~ect will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan. The subject site is not located in an area which could impact an emergency response plan. The project will take access from a maintained street and R:~STAFFRIrF~_MPA97.1~C lO/16/~]jld 30 will therefore not impede any emergency response or emergency evacuation plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.c. The project will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.d. The project will not expose people to existing sources of 13otential health hazards. No health hazards are known to be within proximity of the project, nor is the project expected to generate health hazards. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.6. The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with fiammable brush, grass, or trees. The project is a industrial/office/warehouse development in an area of existing and future similar uses. The project is not located within or proximate to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Noise 10.8. The proposal will result in a less than significant increase to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and development of the land logically will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Long-term noise generated by this project would be similar to existing and proposed uses in the area. No significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long-term. 10.b. The project may expose people to severe noise levels during the development/ construction phase. 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. However, this source of noise from development of the project will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. There will be no long-term exposure of people to noise. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Public Services 11.a,b. The project will have a less than significant impact 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. 11.c. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula and therefore will not result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The cumulative effect from the project will be mitigated,through the payment of applicable School Fees. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~TAFFRPT~34pA~7.1~C 10/16/~7jid 31 11.d. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Funding for maintenance of roads is derived from the Gasoline Tax which is distributed to the City of Temecula from the State of California and the payment of the Public Facility Fee by the applicant. 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. The Gasoline Tax is sufficient to cover any of the proposed expenses. 11.e. The project will not have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities and Service Svstems 12.a,b. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to power, natural gas or communications. These systems are currently being delivered in proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.c,d. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities or sanitary sewer systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.e. The proposal will result in a less than significant need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to storm water drainage. The project will need to provide some additional on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project and will tie into the existing system. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.f. 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. 12.g. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water supplies. Reference response 12.d. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthetics 13.a. The projeCt will not affect a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in a area where there is a scenic vista. Further, the City does not have any designated scenic highways. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:~TAI~'RPT~34PA97.1~C 10/16/97jid 32 13.b. The project will not have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect. The project is a industrial/office/warehouse use in an area of existing and proposed similar uses. The applicant has enhanced the design of the building to be consistent with other high quality design in the area and proposed landscaping will provide additional aesthetic enhancement. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. The project will have a potentially significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in light/glare, as all development of this nature results in new light sources. All light and glare 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). After mitigation measures are in place, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 14.a. The project will not have an impact on paleontological resources. The site has been disturbed from prior grading activity. The Eastern Information Center of the University of California at Riverside has reviewed the project and a Phase I cultural resource study identified no cultural resources. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.b,c,d The project will not disturb archaeological resources nor affect historical or unique ethnic resources or values. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan does not identify the site as being within an sensitive archaeological area. The site is not listed an identified historical site in the inventory contained in the FEIR. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.e. The project will not restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. No religious or sacred uses exist at the site or are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 15.a,b. The project will have a less than significant impact or increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula. However, it will result in an incremental impact or in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The same is true for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
