The applicant is requesting permission to remove 13 trees, reduce the size of some shrubs from five (5) gallon to one (1) gallon, and replace the ground cover hydroseed with sod along Rancho California Road and Ynez Road (see attached plans). The approved landscape plan provided 34% of landscaped area. The applicant's landscape architect has stated that the proposed changes would not reduce the total landscaped percentage, only the spacing and sizes would change. The project is located within the Rancho Highlands Specific Plan which does not have a minimum landscape percentage requirement. Staff feels the changes in the approved landscape plan are extensive and therefore requests direction from the Commission on this matter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION the Planning ADOPT the Negative Declaration for Planning Application No.'s PA98-0318 and PA98-0449; ADOPT Resolution No. 98- recommending approval of Planning Application No.'s PA98-0318 and PA98-0449 based upon the Analysis and Findings contained in the Staff Report; and APPROVE Planning Application No.'s PA98-0318 and PA98- 0449. APPLICANT: PROPOSALS: LOCATION: SURROUNDING ZONING: James and Mary Corona To amend the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map for the site from Highway/Tourist Commercial (HT), Medium Density Residential (M) and Low Medium Density Residential (LM) to Community Commercial, in accordance with Exhibit A (for the General Plan Land Use Map) and Exhibit B (for the Zoning Map); Northeast of the intersection of Highway 79 South and Butterfield Stage Road (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 952-150- 001 and 952- 150-003) North: South: East: West: Medium and Low-Medium Density Residential Neighborhood Commerdal Riverside County - Residential (2-4 du/ac) Paloma del Sol Specific Plan - Residential EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant R:\STAFFRPT\318PA98.PC.doc 1 SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: Vacant South: Vacant East: Vacant West: Vacant and agricultural uses PROJECT STATISTICS Parcels: Total Area: 952-150-001 (9.56 acres) and 952-150-003 (9.61 acres) 19.17 acres BACKGROUND On July 23, 1998 an application requesting a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change from Medium and Low Medium Density Residential to Highway/Tourist Commercial for Assessor Parcel Number 952-150-001 was received. After meeting with the applicant and their representative, staff was informed that their ultimate goal is to process a specific plan on the parcel in question and the adjacent parcel (Parcel Number 952-150-003). The applicant's goal in this application is to obtain General Plan and zoning designations that will be consistent with the land uses they will ultimately propose in their specific plan. The applicant has revised their application to include the other parcel they intend to place within the specific plan area and modified the proposed designation from Highway/Tourist Commercial to Community Commercial. ANALYSIS The proposal would change the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map designations from Medium Density and Low Medium Density Residential and Highway/Tourist Commercial to Community Commercial to facilitate the future development of a specific plan on the site. Staff feels that the change from Highway/Tourist Commercial to Community Commercial is appropriate because both districts are compatible with each other and Community Commercial is considered a less intensive use in comparison with Highway/Tourist Commerdal, The Community Commercial designation is also compatible with the commercial and light industrial properties on two of the other three corners at the intersection of Highway 79 South and Butterfield Stage Road. Staff also feels that changing the residential parcel north of the property directly at the comer to Community Commercial is also appropriate. This is because the two parcels, when combined, would create a more viable commercial site. The basis for this opinion is that both parcels are shallow in depth, (approximately 350 feet), although wide along the portion of the lot that faces Highway 79(S) (approximately 1200 feet). Given the importance of the intersection of Highway 79 South and Butterfield Stage Road, a parcel only 350 feet deep would realistically not be capable of supporting any kind of substantial commercial development, particularly of the scale of Highway/Tourist Commercial. If approved, this proposal will create a 19-acre commercially zoned parcel, which is approximately 1200 feet wide and 700 feet deep. A commercial site of this size is more able to support a viable commercial project and would help avoid isolated fragmented development. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION An initial environmental study was performed for this project which determined that the proposal could potentially affect geology, water, transportation/circulation, aesthetic, and cultural resources. The study was prepared for a non-detailed general plan amendment and zone change because R:\STAFFRPT\318PA98.PC.doc 2 no detailed development proposals have been submitted to the City. Section 15146 of the CEQA Guidelines states that the specificity and detail of environmental analysis should be similar to the detail and specificity of the project. Since the project is a general plan amendmentJzone change, only a general plan level of evaluation is possible. However, in an effort to provide as much information as possible, some additional evaluation has been provided. Any mitigation measures identified in this document will be implemented when detailed development proposals are available. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS Staff has evaluated this proposal and has determined that the requested amendment to the General Plan land use and zoning designations are appropdate and will allow the property owners to reasonably and appropriately develop this site in a manner compatible with the surrounding area. FINDINGS Planning Application No.'s PA98-0318 and PA98-0449 (General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone) as proposed is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. The project is compatible with existing and surrounding uses. A portion of the site is already zoned for commercial uses and is already being partially used for commercial purposes. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on the community because it remains consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan, Attachments: PC Resolution No. 98- - Blue Page 4 Exhibit A - Resolution No. 98- - Blue Page 7 Exhibit B - Ordinance No. 98-__ - Blue Page 10 Initial Study - Blue Page 14 Mitigation Monitoring Program - Blue Page 30 Exhibits - Blue Page 36 A.

The project is a general plan amendment and zone change from existing Highway/Tourist, Medium Density Residential and Low Medium Density Residential to Community Commercial. The environmental impact of the proposed general plan amendment and proposed zone change is expected to be less than significant because Community Commercial is compatible with Highway/Tourist Commercial and is a less intensive use. Community Commercial is also compatible the other adjacent commercial designations in the vicinity. The widening of the commercial designation to include the residential parcel to the north is logical in that it creates a more viable commercial site by increasing the site from 9,5 acres to 19 acres. This will assist in averting isolated fragmented development. As a consequence the environmental impact associated with this project is expected to be less than significant. This site as well as adjacent properties to the north and south are located in areas identified as Farmland of Local Importance. Currently isolated farming does occur in and around the site; however, these areas are not within areas under Williamson Act contract. The City of Temecula General Plan has anticipated that this property will ultimately be developed with uses other than agriculture and would consequently no longer be utilized for agricultural production. As a consequence any environmental impacts associated with this project is expected to be less than significant. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minodty community), There is no established residential community (including low-income or minodty community) at this site. Furthermore, the site is a vacant, and the reduction in the amount of residentially zoned property being proposed in this project will be minor. As a consequence no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would be proposal: Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population Projects?

The project will ultimately result in the construction of community commercial facilities Since the project is intended to ultimately 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. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project will not likely cause people to relocate to or within Temecula, but will the uses which will ultimately be constructed on the site 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. The project will not displace any type of housing. The project site is vacant with proposed zoning, which is commercial, and as a consequence no housing will be displaced. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project.

The site is located in Southern Califomia, an area that is seismically active. The City's General Plan identifies two active faults in the vicinity, the Wildomar Fault and the Wolf Valley Fault. Potential impacts will be mitigated by compliance with State of California AIquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone development criteria and construction in accordance with the Uniform Building Code standards. A soils report shall be required as part of the development and shall contained 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. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for development projects at the site. 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.. Would the proposal result in: Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and mount of surface runoff? Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding?

Development of the site may result in changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff should development occur as a result of the land use designation and zone change. However, because of the restrictive easements, fault line, water course and flood plain, development is anticipated to be limited. The impact as a result of the change in land use designations is considered to be less than significant. This project falls within Zone × of the Temecula Creek floodplain (areas within the 500-year floodplain) as identified by Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel No. 060742-0005-B (November 20, 1996). If a property is located in Zone X no mitigation is required and as consequence a less than significant impact is expected. The project may have a potentially significant effect on discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Pdor to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The proposed change in land use designations will have a less than significant impact in changes to the amount of surface water in any water body or impact currents, or impact the course or direction of water movements. Because of the restrictive easements, fault line, water course and flood plain, development is anticipated to be limited. The impact as a result of the change in land use designations is considered less than significant. The proposed change in land use designations will have a less than significant change in the quantity and quality of ground waters. Because ofthe restrictive easements, fault line, water course and flood plain, development is anticipated to be limited. The impact as a result of the change in land use designations is considered less than significant. The proposed change in land use designations will have a less than significant impact in the reduction in the amount of ground water otherwise available for public water supplies. Because of the restrictive easements, fault line, water course and flood plain, development is anticipated to be limited. The impact as a result of the change in land use designations is considered less than significant. 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal: 5.b. 5.c. 5.d. Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation? (Source 1, Page 2-29) Expose sensitive recaptors to pollutants? Alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate? Create objectionable odors?

The proposed change in land use designation will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. Because of the restrictive easements, fault line, water course and flood plain, development is anticipated to be limited and well below target floor area ratios of any commercial zone. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no sensitive receptors in proximity to the project. According to the City's Development Code, standards with regards to the generation of particulate matter, smoke, dust, did, ash, odors, toxics and other noxious matter apply equally to all commercial zones. The proposed change in land use designation will not alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: 6.a. 6.c. 6,d. 6,e. 6.f, 6.g. Comments: Increase vehicle tdps or traffic congestion? Hazards to safety from design features (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections or incompatible Uses)? Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby Uses? Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation (e.g. bus tumouts, bicycle racks)? Rail, waterhome or air traffic impads? X X X X X X X 6.a. The proposal is located in an area where current conditions are such that the read system experiences occasional traffic congestion at peak times. To address these conditions the City of Temecula, CALTRANS and the County of Riverside have several regional circulation improvement projects proposed. In some cases these projects are currently under construction. Area traffic congestion is expected to significantly improve when these scheduled improvements have been completed. This proposal would shift the General Plan and Zoning designations from one commercial designation to another and a portion of the site from residential to commercial. It is anticipated; however, that because of the limited nature of future development, most sites are significantly constrained with utility easements and environmental site limitations, that a less than significant impact upon traffic is anticipated. The project will have a less than significant impact upon increased vehicle tdps or traffic congestion. R:\STAFFRPT%318PA98.PC,doC 21 6.d. 7.a.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the proposal result in impacts to: 7.b. 7.c. 7.d. 7.e. Comments: 7.a.,b. 7.c.d.,e. Endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds)? (Source 4) Locally designated species (e.g.heritage trees)? (Source 4) Locally designated natural communities (e.g. oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)? Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? X X X The project site for the proposed change in land use lies within in an area designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as potential habitat for the Federally listed endangered species the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly. This proposal does not actually represent a development proposal. However, any future development of the site, as with any development projects which fall within this boundary, will be required to conduct a biological survey to determine if the vegetational association best suited for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly is present and if the organism is an actual inhabitant of the property. A Mitigation measure, requiring the applicant of a development proposal on this property to conduct a biological survey of the property pdor to the approval of any development proposal, has been included. A biological survey of the property shall include appropriate mitigation measures for the development of this property. With proper mitigation measures, future development is anticipated to cause a less than significant impacts as a result of this project. The project site is currently disturbed and largely undeveloped. There are no locally designated communities, wetland habitat areas, or wildlife corridors on or around the site. Future development proposals for this site will receive appropriately detailed environmental review. As a result, no impacts are anticipated at this time. 8.a. 8.b. 8.c. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES.

The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 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. 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. HAZARDS. Would the proposal Involve: 9.8. 9.b. 9.c. 9.d. 9.e. A dsk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemical or radiation)?

The project will not result in a significant impact due to dsk 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. While some retail uses may have the potential to sell hazardous substances, they are regulated by both the Fire Department and the Department of Environmental Health. Future development must receive clearance from the Department of Environmental Health pdor to any plan check submittal. Future development must receive clearance from the Fire Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:\STAFFRPT\318PA98.PC,doc 23 9.b. 9.c. 9.d. 9.e.

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. Reference response 9.a. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 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 in an area of existing uses and proposed commercial 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. 10. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: 10.a. 10.b. Increase in existing noise levels? (Source 1, page 8- 9) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? X X Comments: lO.a. 10.b. The proposal will result in a less than significant increase to existing noise levels. The site is 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. However, the project site is adjacent to State Highway 79 South and Butterfield Stage Road which are both designated as access restricted six-lane urban arterial roadways. Ambient noise levels 100 feet from centerline are 70.2 to 75.2 CNEL for Highway 79 South and range within 65 CNEL for Butterfield Stage Road. According to the City's General Plan, it is appropdate to place insensitive land uses such as commercial adjacent to noise generators such as highways. Long-term noise generated by this project would be similar to existing and proposed uses in the area. Noise impacts are anticipated to be less than significant as a result of this project in either the short or long*term. The project may expose people to severe noise levels dudng 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 headng 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.

The project will incrementally increase the need for fire and police protection; however, it will contribute its fair share to the cost of maintenance of service provision from these entities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 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 numbere 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. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Funding for maintenance of roads is dedved 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. 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. 12.

No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 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)/' It is anticipated that the proposal to change the designation from Office to Commercial, and the limited nature of future development under this designation, would not significantly increase the demand for systems or supplies. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Future development may require additional storm water drainage facilities onsite. However, because this project is a change in General Plan and Zoning designations from one commercial category to another, no specific development proposals are being proposed at this time. Any specific development proposal would receive an appropriately detailed environmental review. No significant impacts are anticipated at this time. 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. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water supplies.

The project, as proposed, is intended to encourage neighborhood commercial uses and appearance along Pala Road, and would locate more intense service commercial uses on the intedor portion of the site. It is anticipated that this layout will require a more neighborhood character in terms of building scale and design and in terms of landscaping adjacent to Pala Road to make future development more compatible with the surrounding area, As a result, no significant impacts are anticipated. The project will have a potentially significant impact from fight and glare. The project will produce and result in fight/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. Future development will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution).

A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on August 13, 1998. The project was deemed complete on October 15, 1998. This project was initially submitted as a larger building with severel conflicts to the City's design standards and requirements. To create an attractive yet functional building, in compliance with the Code at a prominent Iocetion, required extensive design changes and a reduction in square footage. The outcome of those changes has produced a project that includes architectural elements and a site layout that will enhance the area. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a speculative building designed for mixed uses that the applicant has anticipated to include offices, warehousing, and manufacturing on a .86 acre site. The building will be twenty-four (24) feet high and 13,112 square feet in area. This project provides 23 parking spaces to accommodate the mixed-use ratios set by the applicant. ANALYSIS Site Design and Circulation The project is located on the southwest corner of Rancho Way and Diaz Road with access being taken from Rancho Way. The lot is almost square with the front (northem elevation) facing Rancho Way and the parking lot placed between the building and the street. Access to the loading area will be along the west property line to the rear of the site. Loading facilities are on the southwest inverted corner of the building, which is 160 feet back form Rancho Way. This is an adequate distance back and behind the building to be out of view from the public way. An employee patio area will be located in the northeast comer of the property near the front entrance to the building. Architecture & Colors The building is designed for warehouse and/or industrial use with office space. Fronting Rancho Way are two office entry points to the building, both finished with bronze glass. Covering the entries will be a trellis supported by an extended concrete panel and concrete columns. Along Diaz Road, the building is stepped back breaking up the potential wall mass. The exterior of the building is tilt-up concrete with a sandblasted finish and vertical and horizontal scores lines with an accent color band (maroon) around the top (reference Attachment 4.F.) Landscaping Twenty-nine percent (29%) of the site has been landscaped which exceeds the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone. A large portion of the landscaping is between the Diaz Road and the building and along Rancho Way, This landscaping will be effective in screening the property. Adjacent to the entire front of the building will be landscaping to soften the hard vertical and horizontal surfaces creating more interesting entries to the offices. Along the streets are London Plane trees and a mix of Fern Pine and Purple Leaf Plum trees throughout the parking lot. This selection of plants is similar to those used on other properties in the general area. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATION Existing zoning for the site is LI (Light Industrial). Office/warehouse/manufacturing uses are permitted with the approval of a development plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the Development Code. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). The project, as proposed, is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code. 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 to less than significant. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS This area has an extensive vadety of styles and there are other industrial use buildings surrounding this location. The proposed design and use should be compatible and consistent with other businesses along this portion of Rancho Way and Diaz Road. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code and Design Guidelines. 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. 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. An Initial Study was prepared for the project and it 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 added to the project. 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 disturbed and graded, and street improvements have already been installed on site. 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, or that the site serves as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can be made for this project. Attachments: 1. 2. 3. 4.

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 as specific interest to the District including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or extension of a master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In addition, information of a general nature is provided. The District has not reviewed the proposed project in detail and the following comments do not in any way constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard, public health and safety, or any other such issues. PA 98-0302 is a proposal to construct a 15,000 square foot concrete tilt-up building for business uses at the southwest comer of Rancho Way and Diaz Road. Almost the entire site is within the 100-year Zone AE flood plain limits for Murrieta Creek as delineated on Panel No. 060742-005B of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued in conjunction with the National Flood Insurance Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The water surface elevation for the FEMA flow rote of 30,900 cfs is 1011.00 at the upstream edge of the property. A District flood study has determined the base flood elevation for the master plan flow rate of 38,300 to be 1013.84 at the upstream edge of the property. The high-water mark during the flood of January 1993 was 1012.96. All the elevations are based on 1929 NGVD. Property within the flood plain should be conditioned to construct the required improvements to Murrieta Creek Channel or participate in a financing mechanism such as an assessment district to ensure necessary improvements are constructed. If the City chooses to allow development to proceed, it should condition the applicant to provide all studies, calculations, plans or other information needed to meet FEMA requirements. In this case, the new building should be floodproofed by constructing the finished floor a minimum of 12 inches above the District's base flood elevation for 38,300 cfs. OCT 13 1998 City of Temecula '2- Re: PA 98-0302 October 8, 1998 This project is located within the limits of the District's Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan for which drainage fees have been adopted; applicable fees should be paid by cashier's check or money order to the Flood Control District prior to the issuance of building or grading permits. Fees to be paid should be at the rate in effect at the time of issuance of the actual permit. Questions concerning this matter may be referred to me at 909/955-1214. Very truly yours, STUART E.

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) and the zoning designation of LI (Light Industrial). Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for (EIR) the General Plan. Agencies with judsdiction 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 sen/ices 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 effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 1 .e. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minority community). The project is an industrial building that has been designed to accommodate handle manufacturing and warehousing uses, and is surrounded by some currently developed similar uses. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site. No effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING.

The project may have a significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction and subsidence of the land) and expansive soils, and will have a less than significant to erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill. The project is located in Southern California, an area that is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction that is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as part of the application submittal and recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate conditions of approval. The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction and subsidence of the land), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant 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.f. 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 as recommended in the soils report. 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.

The project will result in less than significant changes to absorption rates, drainage petterns and the rate and amount of surface runoff. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying bardscape 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 that is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4.b. This project could result in potentially signfficant impacts by exposing people or property to water related hazards such as flooding. A portion of the project site is within the 100 year flood zone of Murrieta Creak. Recommendations from County Flood Control for flood proofing the building will be included in the Conditions of Approval of this project to mitigate the potential flood hazard. After mitigation measures are perfon'ned, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project may have a potentially significant effect on discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been flied or the project is shown to be exempt. By camplying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than signfficant. No signfficant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4 .d,e. The project will have a less than significant impact in a change in the amount of surface water in any water body or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface runoff will occur because 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 into Murdeta Creek will not be considered significant. No 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 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.

Use non-renewal resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner? c. 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? [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 8.a. The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No 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 natural resource during construction (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber). The depletion of these nonrenewable resource(s) and the subsequent depletion of the non-renewable natural resources is minimal. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as less than 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 impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

The application was formally submitted to the Planning Department on August 17, 1998. A Development Review Committee meeting was held on September 10, 1998. The project was deemed complete on October 15, 1998. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a speculative building for mixed uses compatible to warehousing and manufacturing on one acres site. The building will have and overall height of thirty (30) feet but height variations down to twenty-six (26) feet will be used to break-up the linear massing of the walls. The footpdnt of the building will be 15,950 square feet. Total building square footage will be 16,840 square feet (15,950 square foot first floor and 890 square foot second floor). ANALYSIS Site Design and Circulation The project will take access from Winchester Road. The lot is narrow and deep with the front (southern elevation) of the building set back 80 feet from Winchester Road. The western side of the building is on the property line. Vehicular Circulation will be along the eastern side of the building terminating behind the building. Parking is located along both sides of the ddveway entry and along the east and north sides (rear) of the property. Loading facilities are on the east and north sides of the building and are an adequate distance (155 feet) back form Winchester Road to \\TEMEC_FS201\DATA\DEPTS\PLANNrlNG\STAFFRPT~354p~98 ,dec 2 be out of view from the public way. An employee patio area will be located in the northwest comer of the property behind the building. Parking Analysis The applicant is proposing a need for 25 parking stalls based on their calculation of the likely building tenant and use ratios of 6% office, 72% warehousing and 22% manufacturing. As a speculative building the parkin9 ratios may vary depending on the actual tenant. With 13 additional spaces the building could accommodate a more intensive user with greater floor areas in offace and manufacturing that currently anticipated. Architecture & Colors The building is designed for warehouse and/or industdal use and is designed to maximize internal floor space. The front of the building, which is visible from Winchester Road and the intersection of Winchester Road and Calle Empleado, is articulated through the use of concrete and glass on the clipped corner of the building creating an entry focal point. The remainder of the building is concrete that has been articulated through color patterns using white, off-white, and grey (reference Attachment 4.F.) and vertical and horizontal score lines. To break up the height and linear mass of the building, portions of the extedor walls have been vaded (26 - 30 feet) and in a few locations recessed. The overall architecture is consistent with other industrial buildings in the area. Landscaping Twenty percent (20%) of the site has been landscaped. This is consistent with the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone. The bulk of the landscaping is between the street and the building front creating an effective landscape statement. The street trees are London Planes and the front landscaping is a mixed grouping of Desert Willow, Australian Willow and Queen Palms. This selection of plants is similar to those used on the property to the west. 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 impacts will be mitigated to levels less than significant. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATION The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). Existing zoning for the site is LI (Light Industdal). 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 General Plan and the Development Code. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS This is an in-fill site and the project proposal includes architectural elements found on many of the surrounding buildings and is compatible with surrounding business. The area has an extensive vadety of land uses and there are other industrial buildings within a block of this location. Therefore, \\TEMEC_FS201\DATA~DEPTS~PLANNING~STAFFRPT~354pa98.doc 3 the proposed design and use is considered to be compatible and consistent with other businesses along this portion of Winchester Road. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code and Design Guidelines. 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. 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. An Initial Study was prepared for the project and 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 added to the project. 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 disturbed and graded, and street improvements have already been installed on site. 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, or that the site serves as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can be made for this project. Attachments: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Thepr~jectwi~n~tc~n~ictwithapphcab~eenvir~nmenta~p~ans~rp~cesad~ptedbyagencieswithjurisdicti~n~ver the project. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of BP (Business Park) and the zoning designation of LI (Light Industrial). Irapacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report for (EIR) the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency, Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The 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 effects are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low-income or minority cornmumty). The project is an mduslrial building that has been designed to accommodate handle manufacturing and warehousing uses, and is surrounded by some currently developed similar uses. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minority community) at this site. No effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would be proposal: a. Cnmulatively exceed official regional or local population [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] projects? b. Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] indirectly (e.g. through project in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? c. Displace existing housIng, especially affordable housing? [ ] [ ] [ ] IX] 2.a. The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The project is an mdustzial building for manufacturing and warehousing consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of LI (Light IndusUial). Since the project is comistent with the City's General Plan, and does not exceed the floor area ratio for Light Industrial, it will not be a significant conm~>utor to population grovah that will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. No 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 Light Industrial. The project will cause people to relocate to or within Temeeula; however, due to its limited scale, it will not induce substantial growth in the area.

The project may have a significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking, seismic Found failure (including liquefaction and subsidence of the land) and expansive so~s, and will have a less than significant to erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill. The project is located in Southem California, an area that is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction that is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as pan of the application submittal and recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate eonditious of approval. The soils reports will also contain recommendations for the compaction of the soft which will serve to mitigate any potentially si~tmificant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction and subsidence of the land), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.d. The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunami or volcanic hazaRoad 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 proxtmate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site may occur during the consauction phase of the project and the project may result in changes in sfltation, deposition or ewsion. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for the project. In the long-m, 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 ~l will be mitigated through the use of landacapmg and proper compaction of the soils as recommended in the soils report. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. The project will not impact tmique geologic or physical feat~tres.
