SELECTION OF A PI ANNING COMMISSIONER TO MEET WITH A REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION
Commissioner Guerdero offered to serve in this position.
Chairwoman Fahey arrived at this time and proceeded with presiding over the meeting.
4. STORAGE OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES
Associate Planner Fagan presented the staff ropod (as per agenda material) and referenced
letters and phone cells received by the Planning Department staff with regard to this issue, which
addressed safety, aesthetics, and City involvement.
Based on the overwhelming community input supporting the current Ordinance (to prohibit long-
term parking/storage of recreational vehicles in front yards of residential zones), Chairwoman
Fahey advised that staff is requesting direction from the Commission as to whether or not to
change the existing Ordinance. Beceuse the addition of a Code Enforcement Officer would
require budget adjustments, Ms. Fahey noted that this matter would not fall within the
Commission's purview and would have to be discussed by the City Council.
Reviewing the available options, Chairwoman Fahey requested, by way of show of hands, that
the audience members express their suppod for one of the following options:
retain the existing Ordinance as is with stdcter enforcement (No. 1)
eliminate the Ordinance and resort to Homeowners Association
regulating the rules (No. 2)
modify the section of the Ordinance which permits temporary
on-site storage (No. 3)
By a show of hands, the majodty of the audience members supported Option No. I - to retain
the existing Ordinance - and the minority of the audience members supported the remaining
options.
Although this matter is not a scheduled public hearing, Chairwoman Fahey noted that public input
would be welcomed.
Although the issuance of citations would create a fine structure, Chief Building Official Elmo
informed the Commissioners that the City Council is reviewing the adoption of an Ordinance
establishing administrative procedures and penalties for violations of the Temecula Municipal
Code, noting that collected fines would be forfeited to the City instead of the Distdct Court.
Temecula Plannir~ Commission
February2. 1998
It was noted that the use of administrative citations is viewed as a conservative measure and
that voluntary compliance would thoroughly be exhausted prior to pursuing the issuance of
citations because of the associated costs.
With regard to temporary on-site storage of recreational vehicles, Commissioner Miller suggested
that the applicable Section be reduced from five consecutive days to three consecutive days in
order to coincide with the Vehicle Code.
In order to propedy address this situation and in light of the Citys continual growth,
Commissioner Slaven recommended the hiring of an additional Code Enforcement Officer.
Because the language in the older and established CC&Rs does not properly define recreational
vehicles, Ms. Slaven relayed her opposition to requiring a Homeowners Association to resolve
this issue.
As per speaker cards, Chairwoman Fahey, at this time, welcomed public input from the following
individuals:

time for RVs to accommodate for visitors, loading, unloading, etc.;
safety concems- vehicles blocking the sidewalk, driveway, and as well
obstructing street visibility;
individuals should utilize a storage facility;
current enforcement needs to be enhanced;

Temecule Pinnine Commission Februanf 2. 1998
requiring a Homeowners Association to resolve the issue would not be
appropriate considering that some developments do not have an active
Homeowners Assodation;
future opening of Lake Domenigoni will furlher impact this situation;
aesthetically unpleasing and, therefore, has a negative impact on neighboring
property values;
storage of such vehicles diminish the natural and man-made beauty of the City;
stdcter enforcement should be imposed and then clearly publicized;
any storage on City streets should be limited to three days, preferably less.
Based on the public input and considering the existing Ordinance, Chairwoman Fahey noted her
reluctance to amend the existing Ordinance.
Concurring with Commissioner Slaven's suggestion to hire an additional Code Enforcement
Officer. Commissioner Guerdero as well commented on the impact the Domenigoni Valley
Reservoir will have on the City with regard to the storage of recreational vehicles. Mr. Guerriero
spoke in support of the existing Ordinance but recommended that it be more restrictive,
commenting on the time and money expended by the City each time a vehicle is tagged only to
be moved two or three feet further down the street.
Concurring with the noted safety and visibility concerns, Commissioner Slaven reiterated her
suggestion to hire an additional Code Enforcement Officer and to impose stdcter provisions on
the Ordinance.
With regard to temporary on-site storage of recreational vehicles, Commissioner Miller relayed
his support to reduce the allowable five-consecutive-day limit to no overnight stays.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the existing Ordinance not be amended and that it
be enforced.
Planning Manager Ubnoske noted that the Commission's recommendation would be forwarded to
the City Council.
5. DIRECTOR'S HEARING UPDATE
No additional comments.
6. RFBELRENTS
Planning Manager Ubnoske reviewed wdtten material (of record) and requested Commission

currently zoned Service/Commercial and that the proposed request would be conditionally
permitted in the Service/Commercial zone.
Temec, ula Plennirm C.;rnmieion
Febrdarv2.1998
Although the Southside Specific Plan has not been completed, Senior Planner Hogan advised
that the preliminary stages of this Plan seem to indicate that the area south of Sunrise Market will
be zoned Highway/Tourist.
In light of her existing concam with the compatibility of surrounding properties in the area of
discussion, Chairwoman Fahey, echoed by Commissioners Guamera and Slaven, expressed
concam with the proposed request and how it may further impact an already existing
compatibility issue.
Viewing a color rendering of the proposal, Commissioner Slaven noted that once the upcoming
improvements to the interchange have been completed, the area of discussion will serve as a
main entrance into Old Town and, therefore, further relayed her objection to the proposal
because of the compatibility issue.

Temecula Plannino Commission Februant 2, 1998
Assistant Planner Anders presented the staff report (as per agenda matedal of record) and
referenced the additionally imposed condition by the Public Works Department (that the vehicular
movement for the intersection of Ynez Road and Rancho Highland ddve will be restricted to dght
in/dght out/left in upon the completion of the Ynez Road Ultimate Improvements [Duck Pond
PW97-17CSD]).
At this time, Chairwoman Fahey opened the public hearing.
Mr. Bill Green, representing the applicant, thanked staff for their time and efforts associated with
this project and relayed the applicant's concurrence with the staff report and the recommended
conditions of approval With regard to the compatibility of the proposed structure relative to the
existing structures, Mr. Green, for Chairwoman Fahey, advised that the proposed use will comply
with the standards of the approved 1989 Specific Plan. With regard to the architectural
compliance of the structure, Mr. Green commented on the varied architectural designs
throughout this particular area.
Ms. Sandy Deering, 10171 Constitution Ddve, Huntington Beach, applicant, provided a brief
history of the applicants and their long-term association with Made Callender's.
Mr. Sam Alhadeff, 27555 Ynez Road, representing the applicant, informed the Commissioners
that he was available to address any issues of concem.
Having diligently worked with the Planning Department staff as it relates to the architecture of the
proposed structure, Mr. Stan Uchizono, architect representing the applicant, commented on the
applicant's desire to create an anchor building for the surrounding area, advising that appropriate
landscaping as well as appropdate color usage of materials will further incorporate the
neighbodng hotel and as well address any massing concorns.
In response to Commissioner Miller, Mr. Uchizono bdefly reviewed the proposed color of the roof
tile.
In light of the already existing traffic concems at the Rancho Califomia/Ynez Roads intersection,
Commissioner Slaven questioned how the approval of this project would further impact this
issue.
In response to Commissioner Slaven's request as to whether the applicant would be willing to tie
the occupancy permit with the completion of the intersection improvements, Mr. Green advised
that neither the schedule nor the plans for the improvements have been approved and, therefore,
noted the difficulty with tying these improvements to the occupancy permit.
As a new resident to the City of Temecula, Ms. Sharon Coffee, 32199 Calle Avella, commented
on the City's need for additional restaurants; expressed her support of the proposed architectural
design; and commented, from personal experience, on the amount of community
involvement/community support these particular applicants have extended to the cities in which
they are located.
Temecula Pinning Commission
Febflaw 2. 1998
By way of a rendering, Principal Engineer Parks descdbed the peak hour volumes, circulation.
improvements, tuming movements, and the widening and upcoming improvements to Ynez
Road, noting the following:
that a traffic signal on the east side of Ynez Road will be installed in
conjunction with the other required improvements;
that access will be limited at Rancho Highland Drive to dght in/right out/
left in;
that a lighted intersection at Rancho Highland Drive would not be feasible
nor practical considering its close proximity to Rancho California Road.
Although this project is not the culpdt of the existing traffic problems at the Rancho
Califomia/Ynez Roads intersection, Commissioner Slaven noted that the applicant should not be
hindered by this already existing problem. Ms. Slaven reiterated her concem with the existing
traffic condition and commented on the volume of individuals that to travel through this particular
intersection.
In response to Commissioner Slaven's concern, Pdncipal Engineer Parks noted that the project
will contribute less than 5% increase to existing traffic volumes at the Ynez/Rancho California
Roads intersection. Advising that improvements are being made to accommodate the City's
current growth, he stated that the proposed project has been conditioned to pay a frontage fee
for half of the raised median on Ynez Road and to complete the sidewalk along Ynez Road prior
to occupancy. In the event the required improvements were not completed prior to the opening
of the restaurant, Mr. Parks. for Chairwoman Fahey, advised that the project would not have a
significant impact on the intersection compared to the existing condition and that it would not
change the existing level of service.
Commissioner Slaven reiterated her concem that the proposed project would further worsen an
already congested intersection.
In response to Commissioner Slaven, Commissioner Guerriero noted that once Rancho Highland
Ddve improvements are completed, a substantial amount of the traffic associated with tuming
movements would be eliminated.
Since the proposed project will have a maximum impact of 3.9% on the intersection,
Commissioner Miller stated that the existing traffic problems are not applicable to the proposed
request.
Although she spoke in support of the architectural design, Chairwoman Fahey noted that it will
not be compatible with the hotel and encouraged the use of adequate landscaping to further
minimize the transition between the two structures.
Assistant Planner Anders advised that the applicant has worked with the City's contracted
landscaping architect to ensure an appropriate landscaping transition between the two
structures.
In light of the fungus problem associated with the Califomia Sycamore tree, Commissioner
Slaven encouraged the applicant to utilize another tree.

STAFF REPORT - PLANNING
CITY OF TEMECULA
PLANNING COMMISSION
March 2, 1998
Planning Application No. PA97-0237 (General Plan Amendment and Zone Change)
Prepared By: Carole K. Donahoe and David Hogan
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission continue this case
off-calendar
PROPOSALS:
To amend the General Plan designation for the site from Office
and Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Commercial, in
accordance with Exhibit A; and
To change the Zoning Map for the site from Professional Office
and Neighborhood Commercial to Planned Development Overlay
(PDO-1).
LOCATION:
East of Pala Road, south of State Highway 79 South
PROJECT STATUS:
This item was originally noticed and heard at the December 15, 1997 Planning Commission
hearing, at which time the Commission requested that staff review the matter further. Staff
had prepared additional information and an alternative proposal for the January 5, 1998,
Planning Commission meeting. However, the case was continued to the next Commission
meeting of January 26, 1998, in order to address issues raised regarding the right-of-way
along Pala Road. The January 26, 1998 meeting of the Commission was canceled and this
case was brought forward to the February 2, 1998 meeting. Based upon the Commission's
discussion, staff recommended that this case be continued off-calendar until a review of
design options for Pala Road were completed and impacts were discussed with the affected
property owners. However, Larry Markham, representing one of the property owners,
requested thirty days in which to address the concerns of staff, and the case was thus
continued to March 2, 1998.
Staff has held several meetings to discuss this case. Staff continues to recommend that this
case be taken off-calendar until such time that the Pala Road right-of-way issues can be
resolved. The Circulation Element of the General Plan is currently under review, and the Pala
Bridge Widening Project is in process. It is estimated that more information would be available
in four to six months. Staff recommends that the case be readvertised for hearing at such
time as the project is ready for consideration by the Commission.

BACKGROUND
Planning Application No. PA97-0409 was submitted to the Planning Department on
November 26, 1997. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on
December 23, 1997. The project was initially scheduled for the February 23, 1998 Planning
Commission and was continued to the March 2, 1998 hearing because of unresolved issues
with the Flood Control District.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A Development Plan request for the design, construction and operation of a 69,359 square
foot self storage facility with 360 units, a residential manager's unit and office building of
2,628 square feet (71,987 square feet total) with associated parking (including recreational
vehicles) and landscaping on two parcels totaling 2.71 acres (net). The project complies
with the Development Code requirements subject to lot coverage, floor area ratio,
landscaping, height and setback requirements. A standard public notice package was sent
out to properties within a 600' radius and staff has received with no letters or calls of
opposition to the project.
ANALYSIS
Site Design
The project is proposed on two separate panhandled parcels on the west side of Commerce
Center Drive. There is adequate circulation throughout the site and proper turning radii
between the buildings. There are five (5) parking spaces near the office building and two
spaces in the attached garage of the residential unit. The site has one point of ingress and
egress for security purposes, and there is a twenty (20) foot drainage easement down the
center of the site from the east to west property line (see site plan).
Landscaping is also being proposed along the panhandle portion of the access drive, near
the residential manager's unit/office building, in the front parking stalls, and between
buildings H and D adjacent to the 20' drainage easement which will be visible as you enter
the site. The project proposes approximately 14,280 square feet or 7.11% of landscaped
area. The applicant is providing more landscaping than is required for self-storage facilities,
as there is no minimum landscaping percentage. Staff feels the proposed landscaping will
create a nice statement with the landscaped access drive, and the landscaping at the
parking stalls and between buildings H and D.
The project is located on two adjacent parcels. To simplify the future development of the
site, the applicant has agreed to merge the two parcels. As a result, the applicant will be
required to get approval of a parcel merger prior to issuance of a building permit.
The site is located adjacent to Murrieta Creek channel. There is also a tributary drainage
channel to the north and a 130 foot wide drainage easement that runs along the entire
western property line adjacent to Murrieta Creek. The applicant is proposing to use most of
the easement area for the storage of recreational vehicles. However, there are some
questions regarding the actual ownership of the easement. The applicant is working with
the Flood Control District to determine the ownership of the easement, and if it can be
utilized for the proposed recreational vehicle parking and landscaping.
Staff has met with the City Attorney who indicated that it is the applicant's responsibility to
work out the ownership and use issues with the Flood Control District. The City Attorney
has stated that this issue should not hold up the Commission's consideration of the
proposed development outside of the easement. Any proposed use of the easement area
by the applicant is being undertaken at the applicant's own risk until ownership and
permitted use types are resolved.
The applicant is working on an agreement with the Flood Control District to determine what
type of access width is necessary and the permitted uses within the easement. If it is
determined that Flood Control does not currently own the right to the easement, staff
expects that they will secure the legal rights to easement. Flood Control is requesting an
unobstructed 35 foot setback from the top of the bank for access along the Creek. The
Flood Control District has also indicated that they would allow the applicant to utilize the
area outside the 35 foot setback area for vehicle parking and storage. The proposed site
plan has been designed to be completely functional without the use of any part of the 130
foot wide drainage easement.
Final resolution of this issue is expected to occur over the next few months. A condition
of approval has been added to allow the Planning Manager to approve any necessary
modifications to the site or landscape plans that may result from the resolution of this issue.
Architecture
The self-storage facility is designed to be compatible with both the existing and future
anticipated warehouse, industrial, manufacturing and office uses. All storage buildings are
proposed to be concrete block construction with a white stucco exterior. All storage
buildings and exterior walls that are highly visible will be detailed with split-face concrete
and precision concrete block finish that result in two accent grey colors to add visual
interest and articulation (see colored elevations). This includes the west elevations of
buildings G, C, the north elevation of buildings G and F, and the walls on the east and north
elevations.
The metal roll up doors of the storage buildings and other man doors are a teal color to add
color and interest to the overall design. The metal gutters, down spouts and front security
fence in also proposed as teal. The roofs of the storage buildings are galvanized metal.
The columns on the west elevation of buildings C and G which will be visible from the west
are also articulated with the split-face, two accent grey colors to add architectural detail to
the storage units.
There is a wrought iron security gate at the entrance to the development. The wrought iron
fence around the 130' easement is proposed to be a teal color. However, staff has
requested that the fence be black wrought iron so that the teal color does not overpower
the development.
The manager's unit/office building is a two story, two bedroom/two bath unit with a grey,
composition shingle roof, and a white stucco exterior. The front or east elevation of the
manager's/office building is detailed with a split-face concrete and precision concrete block
finish that results in two grey accent colors.
As proposed, the project is a quality design that will be compatible with the existing
structures in the immediate vicinity in terms of design, colors, materials, height, and bulk
and mass.
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). Self-storage facilities 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.

RE: Case Transmittall Reference Designation: f)~ ~'~- O~Oc~
Records at the Eastern Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System have
been reviewed to determine if th is project would adversely affect prehistoric or historic cultural resources:
The proposed project area has not been surveyed for cultural ruources and contains or is adjacent m known cultural
resource(s), A Phase I study is recommended.
Based upon c:dsting data the proposed project area has the potential for containing cultural resources. A Phase 1 study
is recommended.
A Phase I cultural re, source study (MF #
) identified one or more cultural resources.
The project area contains, or has the possibility of containing, cultural resources. However, due to the nature of the
project or prior data recovery studies, an adverse effect on cultural resources is not anticipated. Further study is not
recommended.
__ A Phase I cultural resource study (MF #
) identified no cultural resources. Further study is not recommended.
__ There is a low probability of cultural resources. Further study is not recommended.
If, during construction. cultural resources arc encountered, work should bc halted or diverted in the immediate area while
qualified archaeologist evaluates the finds and makes recommendations.
Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the area earthmoving during construction should be monitored by a professional
archaeologist.
The submission of a culu/ral resource management report is recommended following guidefines for Archaeological
Resgurce Management Reports prepared by the Caliiornia Office of Historic Preservation, Preservation planning Bulletin
4(a), December 1989.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Land Use and Planning
1.8.
The proposed self-storage facility is consistent with the Zoning designation of Light
Industrial (LI). Self-storage facilities are permitted by right in this zoning classification.
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 Ran 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 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 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. No significant effects
are anticipated as a result of this project.
1.C.
The proposed self-storage facility is a permitted use in the Light Industrially zone and is
in an area with existing commercial/industrial uses. Therefore, the proposed self-storage
facility is not considered incompatible with the existing land use in the vicinity. 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). There is no established
residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site.
Furthermore, the site is a vacant, Light Industrial zoned property that does not allow
residential developments. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this
project.
Population 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 Business Park. 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 Light Industrial. 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 Light
Industrial zoned property; therefore no housing will be displaced. One residential unit
R:\STA~PA97.1~C 2/~/98 pa 30
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,
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 aoils 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
compaction of the soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts 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.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.
Water
4.a,d
The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and
amount of surface runoff. 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 adequately handle runoff which is created. After
R:\STAI~FRPT~409PA97.FC 2/26/9g 1~ 31
mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of
this project.
4.b.
The project could have a impact to people or property to water related hazards such as
flooding because a small portion of the site is located in a flood zone. The entire
western portion of the site is adjacent to the Murrieta Creek and is located in the 100
year floodway. Recreational and other vehicles may be stored in this area. In extreme
flood events, some loss property may occur in these circumstances. The project will be
conditioned to have the finished floors of the buildings to be elevated one (1 ') above the
100 year water surface elevation. Therefore, with the incorporated conditions of
approval and mitigation monitoring program, no significant impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
4.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. No significant
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
4.e-h
The project is not adding additional fill material and will not change the direction of flows
in Murrieta Creek. 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.
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 Qualitv
5.a.
The project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or
projected air quality violation. The project (71,978 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.
R:~STAPPRIq',~0~PA~7.1~3 .~26/98 pm 32
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. 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 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 designed to current City standards and has adequate 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.
6.6.
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.
R:~STAFFRPT~09PA97.PC 2126/98 ps 33
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.
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.
7.8.
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
8.8.
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.
R:\STA~PA~7.PC 2/26/98 p~ 34
9.s.
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,
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.
9.8.
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 north
and south, and existing commercial/industrial development to the east. Murrieta Creek
is immediately west of the subject site. The project is not located within or proximate
to a fire hazard area; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
Noise
lO.a.
The proposal will result in s 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
existing development to the east, and the future Light Industrial/Business Park 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.
R:\STAFFRFIM09pA97.PC 2/26/98 pa ~35
Public Services
11.a,
b.
The project will have a tess 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 Ran 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
R:~TAI~FILtri~gPA97.l~C 2/26/98
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.
~esthetics
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.
13.b.
The project could have a potentially significant demonstrable negative aesthetic affect.
The site is in an area of existing Light Industrial and commercial zoned property to the
north, south and east. The design review process of the proposed development has
mitigated the potential significant visual impacts through ensuring a quality design, the
use of similar materials and colors in the area, functional site design, architectural
articulation of the exterior walls, heavy landscaping, and limiting the bulk and mass of
the structures. The design, site layout and heavy landscaping will provide additional
aesthetic enhancement. Moreover, the applicant has worked closely with the City's
Landscape Architect to ensure the landscaping from Murrieta Creek to the proposed
development will be an appropriate transition from the natural vegetation to developed
property. 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.a-
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.
R:\STAFFILuT~.0~pAeJ7,PC 2,i26/98 pa ~7
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.

BACKGROUND
Planning Application No. 98-0014 was submitted to the Planning Department on January 14,
1998. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on January 29, 1998.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is the design and construction of a two-story, 17,420 square foot
office/manufacturing building, associated parking and landscaping on 1.32 acres. The first floor
is primarily manufacturing space with some office area, and the second story is comprised of
office and storage space. The structure is being built for Temeka Advertising.
ANALYSIS
Site Design
The project will take access from Zevo Drive, near the northwest corner of the site. The site
has been designed to accommodate vehicular and truck access throughout the site. Loading
facilities are on the west and south sides of the building, and parking is located in the front,
side and rear of the project. An outdoor employee lunch area is conveniently located at the
southwest corner of the building.
Architecture
The building will be tilt-up concrete. The east, west and south elevations have been articulated
through the use of non-reflective, black windows; extensive reveals and architectural accents
of black glass set into the concrete walls. The main entrance to the building is at the northeast
portion of the building. The main entrance has been defined with a non-reflective, black, glass
R:\STAF~RPT~14PA98.FC 2/26/98 kJb '~
wall and extensive windows along the north elevation. There is a copper metal canopy and the
corporate sign further defining the main entry. The entry is also accented with decorative,
stamped concrete, landscaped planters and palm trees.
Staff has worked with the applicant and his team of representatives and feels the applicant is
proposing a quality project that is utilizing appropriate colors and materials through the use of
non-reflective, black glass, the architectural accents of black glass, the heavy use of reveals,
the copper canopy, and the well defined main entry. The structure is compatible with the
existing buildings in the area in terms of colors, materials, height, bulk and mass.
LandscaDing
Over thirty-two percent (32.06%) of the site has been landscaped. The landscaping provided
exceeds the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone,
The site does have a slope that runs along the entire western property line. The slope is
landscaped pursuant to the Development Code landscaping requirements for slopes. The
proposed street tree (London Plane) is consistent with the speculative industrial building across
the street. Moreover, trees have been provided along the eastern property line to help break
up the long wall mass. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed the landscape plan and
the applicant has addressed comments on the plan.
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 the design and construction of a 17,420 square foot two-story,
office/manufacturing building, associated parking and landscaping on 1.32 acres. The project
as proposed is consistent with the Design Guidelines, Development Code and the General Plan.
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 (Mt. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping
provisions.
R:~STAFFRP~I4PA98.PC 2/26/98 kJb 3
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health,
safety and welfare. The project as proposed complies with all City Ordinances and
meets the standards adopted by the City of Temecula designed for the protection of the
public health, safety and welfare.
The project 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 graded, and streetscape installed on site. There are no native
species of plants or vegetation at the site, nor any indication that any wildlife species
exist, or that the site serves as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can
be made for this project.

Dear Ms. Anders:
Please be advised that the above-referenced property is located within
the boundaries of Rancho California Water District (RCWD). Water
service and sewer service, therefore, would be available upon
completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property
owner.
If fire protection is required, the customer will need to contact RCWD
for fees and requirements. On-site and off-site improvements may be
required for water and sewer service. The owner should contact the
District for the determination of these requirements.
Water availability would be contingent upon the property owner signing
an Agency Agreement which assigns water management rights, if any,
to RCWD.
If you have any questions, please contact an Engineering Services
Representative at this office.
Sincerely,
RANCHO CALIFORNIA WATER DISTRICT

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 iand 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.
1 .c,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
manufacturing/office 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
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 BP (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.
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 result of this project.

c,g,h.
The project will result in a less than significant impact on people as a result of
fault rupture. The project is not located in a fault zone or within a fault setback
area; therefore no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project.
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.
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, harriscape 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
ere anticipated as a result of this project.

4.b.
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 has been elevated
outside of the 100 year floodway as a result of grading performed prior to
project approval. However; the project is located within a dam inundation area
as identified in the City of Temecula 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 Poltutant 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:~STAFFRPTX14pA98.PC 2/26/98 klb 29
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 proDerty 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 (17,420 square feet of
manufacturing/office) 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.
Transl)ortation/Circulation
6.a.
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 Diaz 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 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.
R:\STAFl~'RPTX14PA98.PC 2/26/98 klb 30
6.c.

uses. The project is a manufacturing/office 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; 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.

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 as there will be no impact to bus turnouts or bicycles
racks; in fact the proposed development includes a bicycle rack to accommodate
alternative means of transportation of the subject site. Therefore, 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
7.8.
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.
Reference response 7.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
R:\STAFFIUr/'XI4PA98.PC 2/26/98 k~ 3 1

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.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.
R:~STAFFRPT~I4PA98.PC 2/26/98 klb 32
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.
The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with flammable
brush, grass, or trees. The project is an industrial/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
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.
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 significan(
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
R:\STAFFRPT~I4PAgg.~C 2/26/98 k~
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.

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.

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 will not have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect. The
applicant and architect worked with City staff to ensure a design that complies
with the City-Wide Design Guidelines. The building is relatively consistent with
other designs in the area. The enhanced landscaping and additional architectural
treatments will provide additional aesthetic enhancement that will result in a
quality designed building. Therefore, no adverse visual impacts are anticipated
as a result of this project.
13.c.
The project will have a less that significant impact from light and glare. The
project will produce and result in a minimum amount of light or glare considering
the scope of the project. However, all light and glare has the potential to impact
the Mount Palomar Observatory; therefore the project will be conditioned to be
consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). With
the conditions of approval, 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 proiect will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would
affect unique ethnic cultural values. Reference response 14.a-c. No significant
