3. Director's Hearincl Ul~date
No additional comments.
Revision of Elevations and Site Plan for the Power Center (Plannincl Al~lolication No.
PA97-0118, located on the southwest comer of Winchester and Marqarita Roads)
Assistant Planner Fagan presented the staff report (of record) and reviewed the changes to the
previously approved site plan, as well as the elevations; advised that the intent of the additional 2'
of landscaping was as a result of the developer requesting to delete a row of parking in the back and
relocate the buildings closer to Margarita Road; and therefore, staff requested more depth into the
landscape setback. In terms of screening of the loading areas, Mr. Fagan reviewed measures to
achieve this goal, noting the berm will be retained.
By way of the originally approved plans, Mr. David Rhodes of Excel Architects, representing the
applicant, reviewed the site plan modifications, advising that this request is before the Planning
Commission as a potential site plan; that it is not final because the tenant has not signed the deal;
and that it can't be signed without Planning Commission approval; relayed no objection to the
additional 2' of landscaping as per staff recommendation, in order to provide dense landscaping
along Margadta Road to further screen the truck loading dock; and advised that because of security
concerns the applicant would not be desirous of the Planning Department's recommendation to
construct a 6' foot high wall, due to security concerns. With regard to Commissioner Naggar's
comments concerning parking, Mr. Rhodes clarified that parking was reduced from 287 parking stalls
to 268, but that the overall square footage was reduced.
Vice Chairman Guerriero reiterated his desire to ensure solid and dense landscaping along Margarita
Road, specifically the area between Winchester Road and North General Keamy Road, where the
elevations are at street level.
Commissioner Soltysiak suggested that staff reviews the relationship of the meandering sidewalk
and the berm to ensure the effects of the berm will not be reduced.
In response to Commissioner Naggar's comments with regard to landscaping, he recommended the
construction of a solid wall if there could be no assurance that the truck loading area would be
obscured. Planning Manager Ubnoske noted that staff would address his concern.
Commissioner Webster commended the proposed changes, citing the revision as an improved
proposal, which will break up the mass of the buildings and provide visual interest, recommending
that this, or a similar site plan be used as a final plan.
Following the review of the proposed revisions, it was the consensus of the Commission to concur
with staff recommendation to direct staff to make a determination of substantial conformance with
the previously approved Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Elevations for Planning Application No.
PA97-0118 (Development Plan - Regional Mall); and to direct staff to require the applicant to submit
an Administrative Development Plan for the modifications.

6. Plannin.q Application No, PA98-0149 (Development Plan)
A request to construct two 8,570 square foot industrial buildings on two 0.58 acre
parcels.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Planning Department that the Planning Commission
approve the request.
Project Planner De Gange presented an overview of the staff report (as per' agenda material)
addressing access, circulation, architecture and landscaping, noting that staff and the applicant
have worked closely together on the site design. In response to Commissioner Webster's comment,
Mr. De Gange clarified that the existing and surrounding zoning was incorrectly indicated in the staff
report and the actual zoning is Light Industrial.
In an effort to resolve the Commissioners' concern with regard to the setback and screening, Mr.
James Horecka, representing the applicant, explained the challenges of the project such as, the
easements, the small size of the lots, and meeting the development Code criteria; noted that to
maximize the building space, a zero foot setback (as zoning permits) was utilized at the front of the
buildings, mitigating the negative aesthetic effect through adding landscaping for screening, adding
articulation to break up building's mass and enhancing the interest; and noted that the adjacent
parcels, will be developed by Mr. Alfred the applicant, as economics permit. Mr. Horecka thanked
staff for their input on the project.
In response to Commissioner Naggar's request Mr. Horecka advised the applicant would be willing
to add landscape buffering on the adjacent property (owned by applicant) on an interim basis.
Planning Manager Ubnoske advised that staff will address landscape buffering with the contract
landscape architect.
With regard to Commissioner Soltysiak's concem, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks, elaborated
on the drainage easement for flood control purposes, clarifying that the applicant has voluntarily
installed a storm drain which has not yet been accepted by the City; noted that the City has received
the plans and approved them; and advised that staff would review future impact within the easement
in this area.
in light of explanations provided, Commissioner Webster noted his satisfaction with the setbacks on
this particular project.
In response to Commissioner Naggar's querying with regard to the allowable zero foot setback for
industrial buildings, Planning Manager Ubnoske clarified this provision as an option for maximizing
building size due to the constraints of square footage of the buildings and other Development Code
criteria (FAR, parking and iandscaping limits,); and concurred with Commissioner Webster's
recommendation to add a paragraph, addressing zero foot setbacks, in the Design Guidelines of
Industrial Buildings.
MOTION: Commissioner Naggar moved to close the public hearing; to adopt the Negative
Declaration with a Finding of DeMinimus Impact for Planning Application No. PA98-0149; to adopt
the Mitigation Monitoring Program for Planning Application No. PA98-0149; and to adopt Resolution
No. 98-029 based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report and subject to the

approve the request.
By way of photographs, Associate Planner Fagan presented the staff report (per agenda material)
reviewing the proposed recommendations, and clarifying stafl"s rationale based on meetings with
the auto dealers.
For Commissioner Naggar, with regard to the disparity of existing frontages, Associate Planner
Fagan advised that the intent of the amended Code would be to establish conformity on new
applications for car dealerships.
Further addressing the proposed revisions, Mr. Vincent Didonato, architect representing the auto
dealers, clarified unique considerations of auto dealers as to landscaping standards, as follows:
that most of the auto dealership business is completed in the parking lot;
that shade trees in the display area cause maintenance problems;
that that the service parking lot not have the same landscape standards as the
customer parking lot.
Mr. Didonato commended Mr. Fagan and staff for the great work on the project. 5
Commissioners Webster and Soltysiak suggested deleting Item 2 f., advising that the language with
regard to Landscape Design Guidelines adequately addresses the issue of landscaping.
With regard to Commissioner Webster's querying of the term "new" in section 1, Planning Manager
Ubnoske clarified that an existing dealership making substantial alterations, with extensive
rnodifications, would De required by s~aff to suDmit a new application, and would then De governed
by the new proposed standards.

8. Planning Application No. PA98-0171 (Tentative Tract Map)
Request to subdivide 20.83 acres into 141 detached condominium lots, as well as
product review for the condominium elevations and project landscaping.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Planning Department that the Planning Commission
approve the request.
Commissioner Webster notsd that he would be abstaining with regard to this project.
By way of overheads, Associate Planner Andera presented a detailed overview of staff report (per
agenda material); commended the applicant, Mr. Howard Omdahl, on efforts undertaken to address
and mitigate the concerns of the adjacent homeowners; clarified that although staff recommended
the addition of a pool or recreation room, the applicant was under the opinion that additional
amenities would render Association fees too high.
With regard to Commissioner Naggar's comments, Mr. Howard Omdahl, the applicant, clarified that
although originally the adjacent homeowners requested a block wall, they seemed to be satisfied
with the installation of a new wood fence.
For Robin Findl, 21225 Humber Ddve, representing the adjacent homeowners, advised that the
homeowners were in agreement with the proposed project dependent on the following changes:
that the existing fence would be replaced with a new wood fence;
that the pad elevations on the perimeter of the project would not be graded higher
than the current grade;
that the parks will not have bright lights or barbecues;
that there will be added 24" boxed trees between existing homes and proposed
condominium projects.
In response to Mr. Robert VanKirk's (4176 Humber Drive) specific concems with regard to
landscaping bordering his property, Mr. Vince Didonato, landscape architect, stated that the tree
landscaping will be implemented as follows:
that trees will be clustered to provide a view pocket;
that screening for privacy would be insured;
that the use of evergreen-type trees (specifially not deciduous trees with a lot of
leaves) would be used for easier maintenance of his pool.
Mr. VanKirk stated that Mr. Omdahl has been wonderful to work with.
For Dr. Urie, owner of Parcel No. 8, it was noted, by Mr. Mecklenburg, that at the toe of the slope
a concrete V-ditch storm drain will be installed to handle the flows.
Addressing Mr. JOhn M. Mecklenburg's concerns, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks advised
that Condition No. 41 (bus bay) will be deleted; clarified that staff would not object to crediting the
applicant for the Development Impact Fee with regard to half of the raised landscape median, and
adding that as a part of the Conditions.
Mr. Mecklenburg thanked staff for their helpfulness on the project, stating that it has been a pleasure
working with the City.
Further elaborating on the landscaping, Mr. Vincent Didonato, dadfled that 24-inch box trees provide
instant impact, but they won't grow to the intensity of a 15-gallon or a 5-gallon tree; therefore, the
eventual screening impact of a smaller tree has better impact; and stated that there will be 24-inch
box trees planted where the slopes change height.
In light of the detailed discussions, Mr. VanKirk and Ms. Final relayed satisfact,on with the proposed
plans, and it was the consensus of the Commission that any further input could be addressed to the
applicant through staff.
Commissioner Naggar expressed enthusiasm over the project, commending the change in the
density (allowable 12 units per acre to 7 units per acre).
Commissioner Soltysiak commended the project as a tremendous improvement over the last
proposed project.
With regard to the Commissioner's traffic concerns, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks dadfled
that Margarita Road will be widened to 110' wide, with two lanes in each direction with a raised
median; that there is adequate stacking distance, in and out of both directions, as well as on
Margadta Road; dadfled that there will be signalized crosswalks at the school sites; and advised that
the acceleration lane will be addressed while reviewing the median design.
Vice Chairman Guerriero requested that the deletion of Condition No. 41 be discussed with the
School District.
Although not making it a condition of this project, Vice Chairman Guerdero expressed concem with
cut-through traffic to the adjoining neighborhood, and requested that traffic studies be completed on
Avenue Barca and Humber Drive.
Planning Manager Ubnoske suggested to address the general area's traffic impacts, not solely this
project.
In response to Vice Chairman Guerriero's request that additional amenities be provided, Mr.
Mecklenburg advised that his goal was to make the project as affordable as possible.
Commissioner Sotysiak voiced support of the project.
MOTION: Commissioner Soltysiak moved to close public hearing; adopt the Negative Declaration
for Planning Application No. PA98-0171; adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for Planning
Application No PA98-0171; and adopt Resolution No. 98-031 based upon the Analysis and Findings

Revision of Entry for the Promenade in Temecula (Plannina Application No. PA97-01181,
located south of Winchester Road and east of Ynez Road
Advising that during staff review, an inconsistency was noted at Mall Entry No. 2, Associate Planner
Fagan presented the staff report (per agenda material). By way of overheads, he displayed the
approved and proposed revised entry designs, which has been scaled down from 51' to 19' in width,
and from 52' to 35' in height; clarified the applicant's rationale for revising the plan, commenting on
the proper'h/line constraints as a result of the Robinsons-May Department Store to the west as well
as the grade elevation to the east and advising that the typical half-circle entrance will not fit in the
area of discussion.
Mr. Tom Gruber of KA, Inc., architecture representing the applicant, presented the proposed revised
plans for Entry No. 2, reiterating the building constraints.
The general consensus of the Commission was disapproval of the proposed entry, requesting that
more of the original design be implemented into the entry.
In light of the Commissioners' dissatisfaction with the proposed revision, Mr. Gruber, by way of
overheads, presented a second revision plan that reflected an entry design 50' in height.
For Commissioner Soltysiak, Mr. Gruber affirmed that the primary construction and development
constraints were due to the grade break in elevations, and that it was an oversight to not note this
in the early development stages.
Because of the location of the proposed entrance (off Ynez Road), Commissioner Guerdero, echoed
by Chairwoman Slaven, advised that Entry No. 2 indicated high usage due to this entrance being
aligned with the Palm Plaza entrance.
In response to Commissioner Guerriero, Mr. Gruber voiced no objection to reverting to the originally
presented lettering "The Promenade in Temecula" versus the currently proposed verbiage "The
Promenade."
Commissioner Webster commended the revisions and had no objection to either modification plan.
After careful review of the revised Entry design for the Promenade in Temecula (Planning Application
No. PA97-0118), the general consensus of the Planning Commission was as follows:
that the proposed revision was not acceptable;
that although the second proposed modification offered more detail and depth, it was
disproportionate;
that, therefore, the Commission directed staff to work with the architect to create a
revised entry design - one more similar to the originally approved entry design but
scaled down as necessary but as equally enhanced;
that the recommendation is justified by the fact that it will be a heavily utilized ent~.
4. Proposed Elevations for Circuit City. located within the Power Center
Associate Planner Fagan presented an overview of the staff report (of record), noted that the
proposed modifications are consistent with the approved elevations for the Power Center; clarified
that it was staff's intent to retain the elements of the proposed design; and advised that the reason
for bringing the revision to the Commission was due to the color change (to red) of the entry.
Following Commission discussion, Mr. David Rhodes, from Excel Architects, provided detailed
information with regard to the following: material, color, and the view of the entry from Winchester
Road. Mr. Rhodes displayed the originally proposed design for Circuit City, highlighting modifications
made to the design.
Commissioners Soltysiak and Guerriero commended Mr. Rhodes for the great work, noting that his
thorough explanation allayed their concerns.
Although Chairwoman Slaven and Commissioner Naggar stated that it was their utmost intent to
ensure the Power Center would not be encroached upon by other corporate entity designs, thereby,
diminishing the identity of the original concept. Due to the location of Cimuit City within the canter
and the specific modifications, it was the consensus of the Commission to concur with the proposed
elevation plan.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to accept the elevations for Circuit City as
proposed and to direct staff to require the applicant to submit an Administrative Development Plan
for the development.

was agreeable to this condition.
With regard to traffic and circulation, the Planning Commission requested that review the traffic
impact, in general, on Winchester Road. Further addressing this issue, Commissioner Naggar

community.
4

that this design is appropriate for this corner in terms of scale and design.
Winchester and Ynez Roads
This monumentation will be located on the southeast corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads and
will serve to identify the Mall component of Planning Application No. PA97-0118. The applicant has
been directed by the Planning Commission to provide a "grand statement" at this corner. Staff has
also re-iterated this desire to the applicant on several occasions. All Options are included in
Attachment No. 1.
Option No. 1
This option is the same design used at the southwest comer of Winchester and Margarita Roads
and which is proposed to identify the Power Center. Staff feels that this option does not meet this
direction provided by the Planning Commission for this corner.
Option No. 2
This option is similar to Option No. I above; however it proposes the following: the thirty-eight foot
(38') curved block wall will be raised to a height of 60" and will be flanked on both sides by a 36"
high rock/boulder wall that will have a large potted plant atop the wall. The sign and the logo will
be the same scale. Option No. 2 provides a grander scale than Option No. 1.
Option No. 3
This Option utilizes tuff and annual color similar to the previous two Options. Two 48" high
monument walls are proposed, with the logo to be place atop both of these walls. Three 72" box
Quercus Ilex are proposed between the two walls. Option No. 3 also provides a grander scale than
Option No. 1,
Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission review these three options and provide direction
to staff regarding the preferred Option.

RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Department Staff Recommends that the Planning
Commission:
REVIEW Planning Application No. PA98-0371 (Development Plan) -
Design Guidelines; and
APPROVE Planning Application No. PA98-0371 (Development Plan) -
Design Guidelines.
BACKGROUND
Planning Application No. PA98-0371 (Development Plan) - Design Guidelines was submitted to the
Planning Department on August 28, 1998. Per Condition of Approval No. 18 of Planning Application
No. PA97-0118, staff is bringing the Design Guidelines before the Planning Commission for review
and approval. In addition, staff would like the Commission to provide any input they may have on the
Guidelines at this time.
ANALYSIS
Requirement for Design Manual
The specific location- and design of the outlots were not included in the preliminary approval of
Planning Application No. PA97-0118 (Development Plan - Regional Mall). Condition of Approval No.
18 was added to Planning Application No. PA97-0118 and reads as follows: "Prior to any application
submittal for any of the periphery developments along Winchester and Ynez Roads, Pads A, B, and
C, Major Retail F, G, H, and I, the applicant shall submit five (5) copies of a Design Manual for review
by the Community Development Department - Planning Division and approval by the Planning
Commission. Said Design Manual shall enumerate the design elements which are appropriate for the
development." The Condition further states: "The Community Development Director shall have the
authority to approve any development which is consistent with the Design Manual without a public
hearing. If the Director determines the project is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, or the
project would require a Conditional Use Permit (per Specific Plan No. 263), the matter will be set for
a Planning Commission hearing and the appropriate full Application Fee will be required."
R:\staffrptX37[pa98.doc 09/25/98

BACKGROUND
Planning Application No. PA97-0420 was submitted to the Planning Department on December 4,
1997. The application was scheduled for a Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting on
January 15, 1998, and a community workshop was held on January 10, 1998. Staff had several
subsequent meetings with the applicant and his team of representatives to work out the issues
associated with this project. The project was deemed complete on September 15, 1998.
R:\STAFFRPT\420PA97FC..doc 2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is for the design, construction and operation of a senior care facility
consisting of a 121 unit assisted care facility building, a 141 unit senior apartment building, two
medical office buildings totaling 27,700 square feet, an Alzheimers facility of 7,200 square feet, 69
independent care housing units with a detached clubhouse and pool, with associated parking and
landscaping on a 22.62 acre site. The total square footage of building area is 380,859 square feet.
The proposed senior care facility is an age-in-place concept development. The theory is that this
project could be the final location for the eldedy by providing a variety of housing types to service
the needs of seniors as they age. For example, the project provides condominiums for seniors that
are completely independent and ambulatory, smaller apartment units once the condominium
becomes too large or too much to care for, and assisted care units for seniors that require
additional or continual medical assistance. The project also provides on-site medical offices and
an Alzheimer clinic to service the needs of the residents so they do not have to travel.
The assisted care and apartment buildings offer a variety of units with different sizes. The smallest
unit is a studio with a combined living/sleeping area with approximately 398 square feet. The next
size is an alcove unit which offers a small, separate bedroom and a living area with approximately
500 square feet. The one bedroom unit offers approximately 620 square feet, and the two
bedroom offers 925 square feet. The attached condominium units are all 900 square feet and offer
two bedrooms and one and a half baths with a one car garage of two hundred and fifty square feet.
Due to the age-in-place concept of this development, this project is intended to service the needs
of the elderly on-site. Therefore, the project provides extensive on-site amenities such as walking
paths with benches; garden areas; outdoor activity areas such as croquet or lawn bowling; large,
park-like landscaped areas, water features and health and personal hygiene services such as
barber and beauty salons. There will also be a variety of bus and shuttle services to meet any off-
site needs of the residents.
ANALYSIS
Site Design
In terms of the physical site layout, the site has been designed to blend with the existing built
environment. The one-story condominium units were specifically located adjacent to the existing
single family structures to the north to create an appropriate interface and transition with the
existing residential development. The two medical buildings have been located at the corner of
Pala and Loma Linda Roads with the Alzheimer clinic behind the medical buildings to create a
concentrated area of medical services near the corner. The three-story assisted care building is
located further east of the medical buildings, at the corner of Loma Linda Road and Temecula
Lane. The three-story apartment building is located along Temecula Lane between the
condominiums and the assisted care facility.
The project is providing access points off of Loma Linda Road and Temecula Lane. The southerly
access point, closest to the corner of Pala Road and Loma Linda Road, is restricted to right out
only. The other two access }oints are full turning movements.
Architecture
Staff has worked very closely with the applicant and his architect to ensure a quality, compatible
architectural design throughout the site. The three-story assisted care and apartment buildings
were designed with a residential character, not an institutional design. The three-story structures
and the AIzheimer clinic have been designed to be compatible with the condominium units by
utilizing the same building and accent colors, similar roof color and architectural elements such as
metal railings and window treatments. The similar colors and architectural elements ensure
compatibility and continuity of structures throughout the site.
The condominiums were designed as typical, residential, attached condominium units with very
neutral colors that blend with the existing residential development to the north. The applicant has
done extensive research on the color scheme of senior developments and would like to keep the
two color themes for the condominium units as proposed. However, staff feels that additional trim
colors should be added to the sixty-nine (69) condominiums to create visual interest and diversity
within the condominium portion of the development. Staff feels that the colors and trim colors
proposed for the medical, assisted care and apartment buildings are appropriate given the type of
uses of these structures, but feels additional trim colors for the residential condominium units are
needed.
The applicant has designed the three-story assisted care and apartment buildings to be
interchangeable due to the uncertainty of the market demands for assisted care and apartment
units. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the flexibility to change the unit mix, floor plans and
square footages (including the condominium units) as the market dictates. Staff feels that the
applicant should be granted this flexibility as Temecula is a new market for senior facilities and the
construction will need to be responsive to the market demands. In order for this development to
be successful and meet the needs of the community, the developer should be granted the flexibility
to respond to the market demands. Moreover, varying the unit mix or changing the number of
bedrooms or square footage will not affect the parking or the Development Code as the parking
requirements are based on a per unit count, not a bedroom or square footage amount.
Staff feels that any changes to the unit mix, floor plans (including square footages and number of
bedrooms) or exterior structural changes could be reviewed administratively for approval by the
Community Development Director. Staff added condition of approval No. 9 to grant the applicant
this flexibility.
Compatibility with Surrounding Development
As stated above, staff has worked very closely with the applicant throughout the process to ensure
appropriate interfacing with the existing development. The architecture is compatible with the
surrounding development in terms of overall design, colors, materials, bulk and mass, and proper
placement of the structures. In addition, the extensive landscaping around the perimeter and
throughout the site creates a natural screening, buffering and large open space areas which
softens and enhances the development and surrounding area.
Landscaping
The proposed project far exceeds the 25% landscaping requirement for the Professional Office
zoning classification by providing 46% of the site to be landscaped. Due to the age and mobility
of the residents, the applicant has provided numerous on-site recreational facilities which results
in a large percentage of landscaped area. The project is providing substantial park-like amenities
R:\STAFFRPT\420PA97PC..d~c 4
such as walking trails, benches, shaded seated areas, croquet or lawn bowling areas, garden
areas, water features, and a pool and clubhouse to specifically accommodate the residents'
recreational needs on-site. The proposed landscaping also includes streetscapes along Pala
Road, Loma Linda Road and Temecula Lane which will serve as perimeter screening to the project
and a buffer to the existing residential development to the north.
Traffic
The site is located in an area that currently has level of service (LOS) "F" at the intersections of
Pala Road and Loma Linda dudng peak traffic hours. The traffic report submitted for this project
states that the proposed development will generate approximately 2,214 trips per weekday with 128
vehicles per hour during the AM peak hours and 205 vehicles per hour dudng PM peak hours, an
increase of 4.4% to 11%.
The recent traffic counts for this intersection warrant installation of a traffic signal with the existing
traffic, even if the proposed project is not built. The signal has been included in the 1998/99 Capital
Improvement Program. The City has agreed to allow the developer to install the signal with the
construction of this project, and to reimburse the developer for the cost of the signal. In addition
to the installation of the traffic signal, the project will be conditioned for the following road
improvements: to construct the portion of Pala Road adjacent to the subject site to create four
through lanes and a left turn lane; to construct the portion of Loma Linda Road adjacent to the
subject site to its ultimate half-section width as a Secondary Highway (88 foot right-of-way); to
construct the portion of Temecula Lane adjacent to the subject site to its ultimate half-section width
as a residential street (60 foot right-of-way); to provide a two-way left turn median on Loma Linda
Road for eastbound vehicles desiring to turn left into the project site; to participate on a pro-rata
basis of funding city-wide traffic improvements based upon adopted City fees; and to agree not to
oppose an assessment district or other funding mechanism to improve the Pala Road corridor
street system to solve the ultimate traffic problem. The project will also be conditioned that
Certificate of Occupancy will not be granted until all conditioned road improvements are completed.
In addition to the above mitigation measures, additional off-site road improvements in the
surrounding area will also help to accommodate the existing traffic as well as the incremental
increase caused by the proposed project. The existing two-lane Pala Road Bridge will be widened
to at least four lanes. The bridge improvements are anticipated to be completed in December 1999.
The Highway 79 South interchange is currently being enhanced and construction is scheduled to
be completed in March 1999. The future expansion of Highway 79 South between Interstate 15
and Pala Road is currently being designed and funding is being acquired to complete this
expansion. This project is scheduled to go to bid in March 1999, and completion of this project is
scheduled for the spring of 2000. After mitigation measures are performed, road improvements
completed, and public facilities fees paid, the traffic impacts associate with this project are
anticipated to be mitigated to a level of insignificance.
Drainage
A portion of the project site is encompassed by two FEMA 100 year flood plains as shown on the
FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel Number 060742 0010 B, dated November
20, 1998. The Temecula Creek flood plain crosses the area about 600 feet north of the site. The
Flood Insurance Rate Map provides approximate flood plain limits and 100-year flood plain
elevations to which buildings must be elevated. The flood plain approaches Temecula Lane and
crosses the property in an east to west direction. The North side of Wolf Valley flood plain is
shallow with approximate depths of up to one foot and crosses approximately the southerly 600
feet of the site. This flood plain has an expected 100-year flow of 3,129 CFS at the intersection
of Pale Road and Loma Linda Road. The existing grouted rip-rap trapezoidal channel along the
north side of Pala Road has a limited capacity. The remaining flows spread out as a shallow flood
plain across the right of way of Pala Road. These overland flows approach Loma Linda Road as
a relatively shallow and wide flood plain (about 750 feet across).
To address and mitigate these potentially significant impacts, the project will be conditioned to
provide a detailed hydrology study and grading plans, and receive City approval of the storm drain
improvement plans to ensure that the on-site structures will be floodproofed and that tributary storm
flows around the site will be conveyed to an acceptable outlet in accordance with the approved
hydrology study, prior to the issuance of a grading permit. The project will not be permitted to
increase flows or divert flows to impact any adjacent properties,
It is anticipated that a combination of barrier protection along the site perimeter and elevation of
on-site structures will be utilized to protect the proposed development from offsite flows. It may
also be necessary to install storm drain facilities or other improvements along Temecula Lane and
through the site to protect the project and convey storm flows to an adequate outlet. In addition,
it is also expected that coordination of the design with the adjacent landowners and some
participation in a joint funding mechanism will be needed to construct the ultimate drainage
facilities. Finally, the project will conditioned for the developer to record a written offer to participate
in, and waive all rights to object to the formation of an Assessment District for the construction of
the ultimate storm drain facilities.
Community Workshop
The applicant conducted a community workshop on Saturday, January 10, 1998 at the Temecuia
Creek Inn. City staff and approximately 30 people from the community attended the meeting. The
primary concern of the people who attended the workshop was the increase in traffic. The people
who artended the meeting were not in opposition to the actual project per se, but to any increase
in traffic in this area because of the severe traffic congestion in the immediate area. In fact, some
people who attended the meeting were there in support of the project. However, the consensus
was opposition to any increase in traffic.
Letters of Opposition/Support from the Community
Staff received twelve calls regarding this project, six in opposition and six in favor of the project.
Staff also received four letters from members of the community (see Exhibit G), Three letters were
in support of the project citing the need for elderly housing and employment opportunities. One
letter was received in opposition to the project due to the existing traffic problems for homeowners
in the Rainbow Canyon tract.
EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Professional Office (O). Existing zoning for
the site is Professional Office (PO), Senior Care Facilities are permitted with the approval of a
development plan pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Development Code. The project as proposed is
consistent with the Development Code, General Plan and Design Guidelines.
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 proposed project is for the design, construction and operation of a senior care facility
consisting of a 121 unit assisted care facility building, a 141 unit senior apartment building, two
medical office buildings totaling 27,700 square feet, an Alzheimer's facility of 7,200 square feet, 69
independent care housing units with a detached clubhouse and pool, with associated parking and
landscaping on a 22.62 acre site. The total building area is 380,859 square feet. 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 District does not normally recommend conditions for land divisions or other land use cases in incorporated cities.
The District also does not plan check city land use cases, or provide State Division of Real Estate letters or other flood
hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such cases are normally limited to items of
spec ~c nterest to the District including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other regional flood control and
draina e fac tes which could be considered a logical component or extension of a master plan system, and District
Area ~raina9e Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In addition, information of a general nature s prov ded.
The District has not reviewed the proposed project in detail and the followin9 checked comments do not in any wa
constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project w~th respect to flood hazard, public healt~
and safety or any other such issue:
V//This project would not be impacted by District Master Drainage Plan facilities nor are other facilities of regional
interest proposed.
This pro ect involves District Master Plan facilities. The District will accept ownership of such facilities on

Dear Ms. Anders:
PA97-0420
We have reviewed the above-referenced documents and request
consideration of the following comment:
(909)
Caltrans supports economic growth and orderly land use
development; however, new development must pay its fair
share for upgrading infrastructure facilities needed to
serve the development. This infrastructure includes State
highways and freeways. It also includes both direct and
cumulative traffic impacts. All jurisdictions should take
measures available to fund improvements and reduce total
nrlps generated. In view of the fact there are limited
funds available for infrastructure improvements, we
recommend the City of Temecula take the lead in developing
a fair-share mechanism in which each project can fund
improvements for the decrease in Level of Service (LOS) for
which it is responsible.
If you have any questions, please contact Mark Grant at
383-4655 or FAX (909} 383-7934.

We do not currently provide service to the site memioned above but based on the size of the project
and our own plans for future growth, we are requesting that a bus turnout or a pad for a bus stop
be incorporated into the general design. To ensure accessibility to the available transit services
for residents and visitors of this development, RTA would like to suggest that the following transit
amenities should be provided by the owner/applicant to mitigate transportation impacts.
Transit stop located at: Loma Linda Rd nearside Pala Rd. adjacent to Medical Bldg. A
A bus turnout, should be provided at the above stop location, if determined by City Traffic
Engineer to be necessary based on roadway cross section, travel volumes and speeds. I can provide
an exact location for the turnout/bus stop as the project progresses.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVLRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1 a,b The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and has a Land Use Designation of PO (Professional Office).
The proposed project is a senior facility which includes a 121 unit assisted care facility building, a 141 unit
senior apartment building, two medical office buildings totaling 27,700 sq. ft., an Alzheime~ facility of 7,200
sq. ft., 69 independent care housing units with a detached clubhouse and pool, with associated parking and
landscaping on a 22.62 acre site. The proposed project is apermitted use under the PO zoning classification.
The overall 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 oppormmty 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. 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 proposed senior facility will not be incompatible with existing land uses, and will not be considered
incompatible or impact the existing single family developments, neighborhood parks or the limited neighborhood
retail and commercial uses in the vicinity. The project has been designed so that the one-story condommium umts
are located at the western portion of the site, adjacent to the existing, detached, single family residential
development. The three story aparanent and assisted care buildings are located near the center and eastern portion
of the site, away from the adjacent residential development. The medical buildings are clustered around the
southeast corner of Pala and Loma Linda Roads, also away from the adjacent residential tract to the west of the
subject property. The single story condommiums will serve as a good transitional product between the existing
tract development to the west and the proposed three story apartment and assisted care structures. The project has
been designed to comply with the City-Wide Design Guidelines, the Development Code and General Plan. The
architectoral style was designed to be residential in nature and to be compatible with the surrounding residential
developments. With the proposed site layout, architectural style and interfacing, no significant effects are
anticipated as a result of this project.
R:~PLANNING\420pa97ENV..doc
ld, e The project will not affect agricultural resources or disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established
community (including low-income or minority community). The project is proposed on two parcels with an
existing residential use and some accessory structures on site. However, there are no established residential
communities (including low-income or minority communities) being disrupted or divided.

or extension of major infrastructure)?
[ ] [ ] [ ] ix]
c. Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? [ ]
[ ] [ ] [x]
DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The proposed project
is designed to accommodate senior citizens within Temecula and the surrounding areas. Although the project may
provide housing for seniors currently living outside of Temecnia, it is anticipated that the project will not be a
significant contributor to population growth which will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population
projections due to the limited number of units being approved with this development application. The project
is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation of PO (Professional Office) and is
not exceeding lot coverage or floor area ratio requirements; therefore. no significant effects are anticipated as a
result of this project.
The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent
w~th the General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation of PO (Professional Office ~ and will pnrnaniy ser,,-e me
housing and medical needs for people in the mediate and surrounding areas. The project may cause some
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 housmg as the site does not have existing housing.
No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
3.a,b The project is located in Southem California, in an area which is seismically active. The proposed development
may have a sigmficant impact on people involving fault rapture, and seismic Found shaking as the site lies within
Ground Shaking Zone II which is expected to vary from moderate to intense in the event of an earthquake,
depending on the composition of underlying geologic formations, the earthquake's epicenter and the order of
magnitude of the seismic event. A Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation noted that Uniform Building Code
(UBC) Seismic Zone 4 standards would apply to construction at this site. Preliminary soils reports am required
and reviewed as part of the application submittal, and recommendations contained in these reports are used to
determine appropriate conditions of approval for the project. The soils repom will also contain recommendations
for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant unpacts from seismic ground
shaking or erosion.
3 .c .d The project will not expose people to ground failure; including liquefaction; a seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazard;
subsidence or expansive soils. The area is located in an area that the General Plan identified as having the
potential for liquefaction. However, a Geotechnical Investigation Report that was submitted for the project
indicated that the site has a very low potential for liquefaction and expansive soils. hi addition, no unique geologic
or physical features or upstream water impoundments have been identified that could impact the site. As a result,
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 know~ 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,h The proposed development may have an impact on people involving changes in topography or unstable soil
conditions fi-om expansive soils, excavation, grading or fill. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated
through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. In addition, a
Geotechnical report was submitted and reviewed for the above conditions. Recommendations contained in this
report will be used to determine appropriate construction practices and recommendations for the compaction of
the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from erosion, changes in topography or
unstable soil conditions from grading, expansive soils, excavation, grading or ~l prior to the issuance ofpenmts.
Modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant since
modifications will be consistent with UBC and the approved Geoteclmical report which analyzed soil conditions
and qualities.
3.i
The project will not impact unique geologic or physical features. The site lacks any notable existing sloped areas.
No unique geologic features or physical features exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result
of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
4.a
The subject site has limited stxuctures on site (one single family residential and dilapidated accessory s~'uctures).
Some changes to absorption rates, drainage panems and the rate and mount of surface runoff is expected
whenever development occurs on previously permeable ground. Previously permeable ground will be rendered
impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and
surface mnoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated thxough site design and improvements. Drainage
conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle nmoff which is created. In addition,
the project will be conditioned to participate in an assessment district or other funding mechanism to improve the
drainage system in the mediate area. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
4.b The project could have a significant impact to people or property to water related hazards such as flooding since
a portion of the project site is encompassed by two FEMA 100 year flood plains as shown on the FEMA Flood
Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel Number 060742 0010 B, dated November 20, 1996. The Temecula Creek
flood plain crosses the area about 600 feet north of the site. The Flood Insurance R~te Map provides approxhmate
flood plain limits and 100-year flood plain elevations to which buildings must be elevated. The flood plain
approaches Temecula Lane and crosses the property in an east to west direction. The North Side of Wolf Valley
flood plain is shallow with approximate depths of up to one foot. The North Side of Wolf Valley flood plain
crosses approxmiately the southerly 600 feet of the site. This flood plain has an expected 100-year flow of 3,129
CFS at the intersection of Pals Road and Loma Linda Road. The existing grouted tip-rap trapezoidal channel along
R:\PLANNING\420pa97ENV..dOC
the north side of Pala Road has a limited capacity. The remaining flows spread out as a shallow flood phin across
the right of way of Pala Road. These overland flows approach Loma Lmda Road as a rehtively shallow and wide
flood plato (about 750 feet across). To address these potentially significant impacts, it is anticipated that a
combmarion of barrier protection along the sire perimeter and elevation of onsire smactures will be utilized to
protect the proposed development from offsite flows. In addition, it is also expected that coordination of the
design with the adjacent landowners and some participation in a joint funding mechanism will be needed to
construct the ulnmate drainage facilities.
To mitigate these potentially sigmficant impacts to a level of insignificance, the project will be conditioned to
provide a detailed hydrology study and grading plans, and receive City approval of the storm drain improvement
plans to ensure that the on-site structures will be floodproofed and that tributar7 storm flows around the site will
be conveyed to an acceptable oufiet m accordance with the approved hydrology study, prior to the issuance of a
grading permit. The project will not be permitted to increase flows or divert flows to impact any adjacent
properties. It may also be necessary to install storm drain facilities or other improvements along Temecula Lane
and through the site to protect the project and convey storm flows to an adequate outlet. Finally, the project will
conditioned for the developer to record a written offer to participate in, and waive all rights to object to the
formation of an Assessment District for the consreaction of the ulnmate storm drain facilities. With the conditions
of approval and mitigation measures, 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 CNPDES) permit from the State Water
Resources Cont7ol 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. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
4. d.e The project will have a tess than significant impact in a change m the amount of surface water m any water body
or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface rtmoff will occur because
previously permeable ground will be rendered Lrnpervious by conslruction of buildings, accompanying harriscape
and driveways. Due to the limited scale of the project, the additional amount of drainage into the City's drainage
system will not be considered significant. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
4. f-h 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 mterceprion of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial
loss of groandwater 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, construcUon on the
site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. Less than significant impacts
are anticipated as a result of this project.
The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public
water supplies. According to reformation 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 tmmediate proximity to the project. Water service 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.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL I/VI~ACTS
5.a
The project is not expected to violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air
quality violation. The project is below the threshold (612 units) for potentially significant air quality impact
established by South Coast Air Quahty Management District for retirement community projects (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 axe no significant pollutants nor sensihve
recepturs 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 single-
story, 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 may create objectionable odors during the construction phase of the project, or, if the biohazaxdous
materlai is not properiy stored or removed from the site in accoro. ance wltn the Medical Waste Management
Act pursuant to the Health and Safety Code. However, this project will be conditioned to obtain all necessary
penTtits and clearances from the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health which enforces the
state regulations in the handling, storage, removal, etc. ofbiohazaxdous materials. The construction impacts
will be of short duration, and the biohazardous materials will be regulated by the Department of
Environmental Health; therefore, no other odors are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
6.a
The site is located in an area that currently has level of service (LOS) "F" at the intersections of Pala Road and
Loma Linda during peak traffic hours. The traffic report submitted for this project states that the proposed
development will generate approximately 2,214 trips per weekday with 128 vehicles per hour dunng the AM peak
hours and 205 vehicles per hour during PM peak hours, or 4.4% to 11%. The recent traffic counts for this
intersection do warrant installation of a traffic signal--even fithis project is not built. The signal has been included
in the 1998/99 Capital Improvement Program. The City has agreed to allow the developer to install the signal with
the construction of this project, and to reimburse the developer for the cost of the signal. In addition to the
installation of the traffic signal, the project will be conditioned for the following road improvements: to construct
the portion of Pala Road adjacent to the subject site to create four through lanes and a left tam lane; to construct
the portion of Loma Linda Road adjacent to the subject site to its ultimate half-section width as a Secondary
Highway (88 foot right-of-way); to construct the portion of Temecula Lane adjacent to the subject site to its
ulnmate half-section width as a residential street (60 foot right-of-way); to provide a two-way left mm median on
Loma Linda Road for eastbound vehicles desiring to turn left into the project site; to participate on a pro-rata basis
of funding city-wide traffic improvements based upon adopted City fees; and to agree not to oppose an assessment
district or other funding mechanism to improve the Pala Road corridor street system to solve the ultimate traffic
problem. The project will also be cunditioned that Certificate of Occupancy wilI not be granted until all
conditioned road improvements are completed.
In addition to the above mitigation measures, additional off-site road improvements in the surrounding area will
also help to accommodate the existing traffic as well as the incremental increase caused by the proposed project.
The existing two-lane Pala Road Bridge will be widened to at least four lanes. The bridge improvements are
anticipated to be completed in December 1999. Highway 79 South interchange is currently being enhanced and
construction is scheduled to be completed in Mamh 1999. The future expansion of Highway 79 South between
Interstate 15 and Pala Road is curren~y being designed and funding is being acquired to complete this expansion.
This project is scheduled to go to bid in March 1999 and completion of this project is scheduled for the spring
of 2000. Aftermitigati~nmeasuresareperf~rmed~r~adimpr~vementsc~mp~eted~andpub~icfaci~itiesfeespaid~
the traffic impacts associate with this project are anticipated to be mitigated to a level of insignificance.
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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or inadequate access to nearby uses. The project is
designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. The project does not interfere with access
to nearby uses. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
6.d. The project provides sufficient parking on-site. The project is providing parking that exceeds the required number
of parking spaces for each use type. Overall, the on-site parking exceeds the Development Code parking
requirements. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
6.e. The project will not result hi hazards or barriers for pedestriaus or bicyclists. The project is designed to current
City standards requiring sidewalks and bicycle lanes pursuant to General Plan Road standards. No significant
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
6.f. The project will not conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The project will be
conditioned to provide a bus ramout for a bus stop as requested by Riverside Transit Agency letter dated February
R:\PLANNING\420pa97ENV..dOC
23, 1998. Therefore, the project will be supporting alternative methods of transportation. No significant impacts
are anticipated as a result of this project.
6.g. The project will not result in rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts. Rail, waterborne or air traffic do not exist in
the mediate proximity of the project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

7a.
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. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no unique,
rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on or adjacent m the site and there are no
indications that any sensitive species exist at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species,
provide a burner to the migration of ammals or deteriorate existing habitat since it is not in a location m connect
existing habitat areas. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area and Habitat
Conservation fees will be required to mitigate the effect of cumulative impacts of urbanization on the species. No
significant mapacts 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 m
the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan; however, they are not protected elsewhere m 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.
7. d The project will not result in an impact to wetland habitat. There is no wetland habitat on-site or adjacent to the
site. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
7.e The project will not resuh in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration coredors. The project site does not serve
as part of a migration corndot. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed
for compliance with all applicable laws pertang to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No penrum
will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No sigmficant impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
8 .b The project will result in a less than sigm~cant 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 nomenewable resource(s) (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the
subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources, due to the small 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 is located at this project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
9.a
The two medical office buildings and assisted care facilities will generate small mounts ofbiohazardous materials.
However, the handling, storage, and removal of such materials is regulated by the Riverside County Department
of Enviromental Health which ensures compliance with the Medical Waste Management Act of the Health and
Safety Code. The Depam~ent of Environmental Health stated the applicant will be required to obtain a clearance
letter from the Hazardous Services Materials Management Branch for the following: Hazardous Waste Generator
Services, Ordinances #615.3, Hazardous Waste Disclosure (in accordance with Ordinance 651.2) and Waste
Reduction Management. The project will be cunditioned to obtain all necessary penruts and/or clearances from
all pertinent local and state regulating agencies. Therefore, a less than significant impact is 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,d,e The project will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard, nor expose people to
existing sources of potential health hazards, nor increase fixe hazard in areas with ~ammable brush, grass or trees.
The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws during the plan check and occupancy
stages of development. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these laws. No
health hazards are known to be in proximity to the project site. The project site is not located within or proximate
to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

[ ] [ ] ix] [ ]
DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
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. This type of senior facility may result in more frequent exposure
to sirens; however, the overall increase in siren noise is extremely incremental and therefore considered to be a
less than significant impact to the surrounding neighborhoods.
10.b. The project will result in some short term severe noise levels. The project may expose people to severe noise
levels during the constructinn phase of development. Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in
the range of 100+ clBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing damage from steady
eight-hour exposure. However, the source of such noise at the project site will be of short duration, and not
considered significant. There will be no long-term exposure of people to severe noise (reference 10.a above). No
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
11 .a,b
The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or resuh in a need for new or altered fire or police
protection. The project will incrementally increase the need for fire and police protection; however, the project
is required to pay development impact fees which are utilized to help pay for these services. No additional
personnel or equipment will be required as a result of this project. The project will pay its fair share to provide
these services through the required development impact fees; therefore, less than significant impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
ll.c.
The project will not have a significant impacts on school facilities; however, in accordance with State Laws,
the developer will contribute his/her fair share of development impact fees earmarked for the school dis~ict.
After mitigation is performed and development impact fees paid, no significant impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.
ll.d.
The project will have a less than significant impact upon maintenance of public facilities, including roads.
FandUng for the maintenance of roads is derived from the State of California gasoline tax, which is disu-ibuted
to the City of Temecula. impacts to current and future needs for maintenance of roads as a result of the project
will be incremental, and not considered significant. The gasoline tax is sufficient to provide for maintenance
expenses. In addition, the applicant shall pay applicable public facilities fees. No significant impact is
anticipated as a result of this project.
ll.e.
The project will not have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. The
project is consistent with the General Plan designation for the area. The effect upon governmental services is
expected as part of the binld-out of the area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
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 m 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. The existing facilities in place can accommodate the additional
meremental increase due to this project; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
12.d The project will not result m a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sanitary sewer
systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental irapact upon existing systems, the Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EIvlWD 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 project will result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to the existing storm water
drainage facilities. The existing grouted rip-rap trapezoidal channel along the north side of Pala Road has a limited
capacity. The remaining flows spread out as a shallow flood plain across the entire road width of Pala Road. These
flows approach Loma Linda Road as a 750 foot wide flood plain. The project will not be permitred to increase
flows or divert flows to impact any adjacent properties. It may also be necessary to install storm drain facilities
or other improvements along Temecula Lane and through the site to protect the project and convey storm flows
to an adequate outlet.
Due to a signi~caiat portion of the site being within a flood plain, the amount of CFS that crosses the site, and the
limited capacity of the existing storm drainage facilities, the proposed project will be conditioned to provide a
hydrology study and grading plans, and submit storm drain n'nprovement plans to ensure that tributary storm flows

also be conditioned for the developer to record a written offer to participate in, and waive all rights to object to
the formation of an Assessment District for the construction of the ultimate storm drain facilities for the Pala Road
corridor area. Additional discussion of this issue is provided under Section 4.b. With the conditions of approval,
mitigation measures and payment of development impact fees described in this Initial Environmental Study, no
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
13 .a The project will not affect a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in an 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 site is currently vacant without any
outstanding aesthetic qualities worth retaining. A landscape plan proposes a variety of trees shrubs and ground
cover to enhance the site. The proposed landscaping also provides park-like settings, shade and erosion control.
The proposed trees, shrubs and bushes are typical of the urban landscape in Temecula and will provide a visual
link with the established residenhal uses. The design review process ensured the proposed structures were
compatible with the existing development in terms of colors, materials, bulk and mass and overall architectural
design. As proposed, the design is compatible with the existing development; therefore 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.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
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. Although the subject site is located adjacent to the park, due to the age, health and
mobility of the residents, it is anticipated that the impact to the park will be minimal. Moreover, the proposed
senior facility is designed to provide substantial park-like amenities such as walking trails, benches, a croquet or
lawn bowling area, garden areas, water features, a pool and clubhouse to specifically accommodate the residents
recreationalneedson-site. Due to the large number ofrecreational amenifies provided for the residents on-site,
it is determmed that the proposed project will not result in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional
parks or other recreational facilities, or adversely affect the existing recreational resources or opportunities.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNiFiCANCE.
Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality
of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population
to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate
a plant or animal community, reduce the number ofresuict
the range of a rare or endangered plant or anamal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of Califorma history
or prehistory?
Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals?
Does the project have impacts that area individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? CCumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project is considerable when viewed in connection with

RE: Pala Road Senior Project
Dear Ms Anders:
As a long time resident of the Temecula Valley, I support the above referenced senior
project.
I know that many residents of the Valley, myself included, will be re-locating their
elderly loved ones closer to their homes.
I encourage you and the other members of Staff to support this very needed project.

Dear Patty Anders:
I am a California licensed Health Care Administrator for the elderly,
within levels of Residential and Assisted Living equity. ~y education
and experience has given me twenty five years of a wonderful career
working with seniors. I am a resident of San Diego, but my employment
has been in the Los Angeles area for the past few years. ~(y commute
is on Highway 15 and I am familiar with the City of Temecula~; In my
opinion Temecula is in need of a Senior Health Care Center. It would
~enerate employment, growth and revenue for Temec.ula.
The center would generate employment opportunities. It would create
jobs for health care workers,vendors and other health care facilities,
such as nurses, doctors, food distributors and clinics. Temecular is
a growing community. Eventually your senior population will increase.
7here will be a need to house and care for seniors. The revenue aquired
b~- the City of Temecula, from the operating center, would add to the
outstanding quality of life for Temecula.
i am writing this letter in support of the construction of the Senior
Healti~ Care Center submitted by P~r. Brian. Sisko.
in my opinion, Temecula is an ideal area for retirement living in the
future years.

Dear Ms Andors:
We are in rece,pt of your "Notice of Community Meeting" concerning Planning Application NO. PA97-0420--
-the Briar Sesko, B & g Properties project slated for construction on Pale Road.
Please accept the following with all due respect.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
We live on bleneagles Rd. just across the street from this proposed project. Do you have any idea about
the traffic on Pale Road? Do you know how dangerous it is to try to turn left out of Classic Way onto Pale
g~oad now that the Casino has been built and is enlarging all the time? Do you have any idea how long we
have to sit at the light at the intersection of Pale Road and State Highlway 799 Have you seen the traffic
congestion on Highway 79 since those two other lights have been installed. Oftentimes, we can't even turn
left onto "79" because the traffic is back up to this intersection from the next stop light.
It has become a nightmoPe for the homeowner~ in the Rainbow Canyon tract and the other~ along Pate
Road,
Now someone wants to build 331 apartments of various descriptions as well as a 27,700 sq. foot Medical
CenTer. VnbelievaOle!!!!
Obviously, these individuals do not live here--nor do they care about the community. Anyone who would
think about appraving this project could not possibly have to fight this traffic everyday
In the strongest possible terms, we urge you not to allow this to happen. The traffic on this two lane road
and the congestion already caused by the Casino would make life unbearable if this project wane allowed to
go ahead.
Please deny the "developer" permission to build on this site.
incerely; c^ '
