Prepared By: John De Gange, Project Planner
Recommendation: Continuance to December 1, 1999
At the October 20, 1999 Planning Commission Meeting the applicant requested that this item be
continued to this meeting. Since that time, staff has met with the applicant and the applicant's
representatives to discuss the outstanding traffic issues which prevent staff from recommending
approval for the project.
At this time, staff is currently analyzing alternatives for the current proposal which could potentially
mitigate the concems staff has with the project. As a consequence staff is asking for an additional
30 days to complete this analysis. It is felt that a continuance to the December 1, 1999 meeting
would allow staff the necessary time to evaluate these alternatives.
For background and an analysis of the project to this point, a copy of the staff report prepared for
the October 20th meeting is being included for your review.

BACKGROUND
An application for this project was formally submitted on September 8, 1997. A Development
Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on October 9, 1997, with written comments being
provided shortly after. From the initial DRC meeting, staff has requested that the applicant supply
various items and specified studies to evaluate the impacts associated with the project. The
applicant has supplied all the items which have been requested since the time the application was
submitted; however, it is staffs determination that the traffic study prepared by the applicant's traffic
consultant still inadequately addresses the traffic impacts generated by the project and has not
proposed adequate mitigation for these impacts. Consequently, the application has not yet been
deemed complete. Despite this, the applicant has requested that the project be brought forward
to the Planning Commission.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is a subdivision of approximately 37 acres into ten commercial lots and one open
space lot. The site is located adjacent to Interstate 15 to the east, Murrieta Creek to the west and
Ternecula Creek to the south. The applicant is proposing to extend Old Town Front Street from
its current intersection with the future Western Bypass Corridor into the project site ultimately
terminating in a cul-de-sac. As proposed, all the lots for development will front and take access
from the extension of Old Town Front Street.
The project proposes ten commercial lots ranging in size from 1.08 to 11.29 gross acres (0.51 to
4,64 net acres). Lots 7,8,9 and 10 all have significant areas which are within the 100-year
Floodway (Zone AE) and these areas are being excluded from development. The open space lot
which comprises 10.48 acres consists mainly of the Muraleta and Temecula Creek Channels. The
applicant is proposing to keep this area as open space in perpetuity with the future possibility that
ownership can be transferred over to an appropriate agency or can be used for a mitigation land
bank.
ANALYSIS
Biological Issues
The project site is approximately 37 acres of vacant property which includes portions of the
Murrieta and Temecula Creek Channels. A biological impact report for the project site was
prepared. This report reveals that the ultimate development of the proposed project site will result
R:\STAFFRPT\307PAg7.PC,doc
2
in the removal of 30 acres of onsite Non-Native Grassland, the removal of approximately 0.5 acre
of the total Riversidian Sage Scrub onsite, and the preservation of the entire six acres of Ripadan
Woodland within the boundaries of the project site.
It has been determined that impacts to biological resources and the loss of this habitat as a result
of this project will not be significant because: 1 ) the 30 acres of non-native grassland which will be
removed is not considered a significant resource; 2) the six acres of Ripadan Woodlands will be
preserved; 3) and of the one acre of Riversidian Sage Scrub, 0.5 acres will be preserved on site
and the other 0.5 acres will be mitigated with the purchase of off-site property.
The Riparian Woodlands and jurisdictional wetlands will be preserved with the exception of 0.07
acres of area assodated with a small unnamed drainage channel which bisects the site and flows
into Murdeta Creek as identified within a Wetlands Delineation study for the project site conducted
by LSA Associates. For this small area, the applicant will be required to mitigate through obtaining
a Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to the Federal Clean Water
Act and a Section 1601 Streambed Alteration Permit from the California Department of Fish and
Game.
The project site contains significant biological resources and the proposed project has the potential
to impact these biological resources. However, these impacts should not be significant if the
mitigation measures described above and appropriate conditions of approval for this project are
implemented.
TrafficIssues
The development of the proposed project is expected to cause a substantial increase to traffic
volumes on State Route 79 South/VVestem Bypass between Old Town Front Street and the
interstate 15 (I-15) interchange. Although the traffic study and subsequent revisions prepared by
Robert Kahn, John Kain and Associates Inc. indicates acceptable interim operating conditions, it
is Staffs opinion that the proposed location of the project's access will adversely impact traffic flows
in the vicinity of the project, the Interstate 15/State Route 79 interchange and Old Town Front
Street. Congestion and unsafe vehicular movements can be expected at intersections within the
project's vicinity due to substandard intersection spacing (160 feet) between 1-15 Southbound
Ramp and Old Town Front Street, and the traffic volumes generated by the proposed project (7,909
ADT).
Another concern is the increase in conflicting movements due to the spacing between the 1-15
Southbound Ramps and the proposed project's access. Because of the short distance between
intersections and the projected heavy left-turn movements into the project, t-15 Southbound
vehicles wishing to access the site could be forcad into hazardous merging situations. This situation
could also cause the traffic to back-up on 1-15 while waiting to get to the left-turn pocket in order
to access the site. The antidpated heavy left-turn movement into the site (307 vehicles dudng p.m.
peak hour) and lack of adequate storage; could also cause gddlock at the 1-15 Southbound ramp.
It should be noted that that a traffic signal at the intersection of Old Town Front Street and 79 South
is not needed until Western Bypass Corddor is constructed. However, the access to the site as
proposed, will necessitate operation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Old Town Front Street
and 79 South which is 160 feet west of the 1-15 Southbound off-ramp. For reference, the spacing
between the intersections of Front StreetJJefferson Avenue and 1-15 Southbound ramp is
approximately 600 feet on Rancho California Road and 400 feet on Winchester Road.

Throughout the processing of this project Staff has maintained that the traffic study and subsequent
revisions submitted for the project have not adequately addressed the traffic issues discussed
above nor has adequate mitigation measures been proposed. Consequently, the Initial Study
prepared for this project recommends the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report due to
the significant impacts associated with associated with the project traffic.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Study was prepared for this project and distributed on October 1, 1999. Findings within
this initial study indicate that the proposed project will significantly increase traffic volumes and
coupled with the fact that there is substandard and limited spacing between the intersection of Old
Town Front Street (where the project will take access) and the 1-15 southbound ramp signal,
congestion and unsafe vehicular movements will result and hazardous merging situations will be
created. As a consequence, this project may have a significant effect on the environment and it
is recommended that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be required.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The proposed project is consistent with a majority of the General Plan's policies and is also
consistent with the zoning standards regarding the HTC distdct as specified in the Development
Code. The project, however, does not comply with the General Plan Circulation Element Policy
1.2 which requires an evaluation of potential traffic impacts associated with new development prior
to project approval, and requires adequate mitigation measures prior to, or concurrent with, project
development; and Policy 1.4 which requires new development to pursue trip reduction and
transportation systems management measures to reduce and limit congestion at intersections and
along streets within the City.
It is staffs determination that although the traffic study and its subsequent revisions prepared by
the applicant's traffic engineer indicate an acceptable intedm operation condition, the project as
currently proposed will increase traffic volumes, cause congestion and unsafe vehicular
movements, and create hazardous merging situations. For these reasons, staff is recommending
that the Planning Commission deny the project as it is presently proposed based on the Findings
within the Initial Study that this project could potentially have a significant effect on the environment
because the traffic study and its subsequent revisions prepared by the applicant's traffic engineer
do not adequately address the traffic issues discussed above and adequate mitigation measures
have not been proposed.
FINDINGS (For Denial)
Planning Application No. PA97-0307 (Tentative Parcel Map 28627)
The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the projects is consistent with
the General Plan land use designations of Highwayrroudst Commercial and Open Space.
The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. This project
proposes ten commercial and one open space parcels on approximately 37 acres and
therefore is consistent with the Highway/Tourist Commercial and Open Space
designations. The project as proposed is not consistent with the General Plan Circulation
Element Policies 1.2 which requires an evaluation of potential traffic impacts associated
with new development pdor to project approval, and requires adequate mitigation measures
prior to, or concurrent with, project development; and Policy 1.4 which requires new
R:\STAFFRPT\307PA97.PC.dOC

development to pursue trip reduction and transportation systems management measures
to reduce and limit congestion at intersections and along streets within the City.
The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements could potentially
cause sedous public health problems in that the proposed project will significantly increase
traffic volumes, coupled with the fact that there is substandard and limited spacing between
the intersection of Old Town Front Street (where the project will take access) and the 1-15
southbound ramp signal. As a consequence, congestion and unsafe vehicular movements
will result and hazardous merging situations will be created.
The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within
the proposed land division. The project will take access from the extension of Old Town
Front Street at the Western Bypass Corridor, and will not obstruct any easements.
The map as proposed, conforms to the logicel subdivision of the site,; however, the it is not
compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community in that the proposed project
will significantly increase traffic volumes and coupled with the fact that there is substandard
and limited spacing between the intersection of Old Town Front Street (where the project
will take access) and the 1-15 southbound ramp signal. As a consequence, congestion and
unsafe vehicular movements will result and hazardous merging situations will be created.
The subdivision is, however, compatible with the surrounding areas and the site will be
developed pursuant to the General Plan, and the Development Code, both of which
regulate commercial parcels and development.
The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements could potentially be
mitigated by the mitigation measures contained within the biological impact study conducted
for this project. As a consequence, the project is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Damage to any known fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site or off-site could be
potentially mitigated.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.
by reference.
That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
Section 2. Ej~ That the Temecula Planning Commission, in approving Planning
Application No. PA97-0307 (Tentative Parcel Map 28627), hereby makes the following findings as
required in Section 7.1 of County Ordinance No. 460.
A. The proposed land division and the design or improvement of the projects is
consistent with the General Plan land use designations Highway/Tourist Commercial and Open
Space. The project as proposed is not consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element
Policies 1.2 and 1.4. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. This
project proposes 10 commercial and one open space parcels on approximately 37 acres and
therefore is consistent with the Highway/Tourist Commercial and Open Space designations.
B. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements could
potentially cause serious public health problems in that that the proposed project will significantly
increase traffic volumes and coupled with the fact that there is substandard and limited spacing
between the intersection of Old Town Front Street (where the project will take access) and the I-15
southbound ramp signal, congestion and unsafe vehicular movements will result and hazardous
merging situations will be created.

C. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the
proposed land division. The project will take access from the extension of Old Town Front Street
at the Western Bypass Corddot, and will not obstruct any easements.
D. The map as proposed, conforms to the logical subdivision of the site,; however, the
it is not compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community in that the proposed project
will significantly increase traffic volumes and coupled with the fact that there is substandard and
limited spacing between the intersection of Old Town Front Street (where the project will take
access) and the I-15 southbound ramp signal, congestion and unsafe vehicular movements will
result and hazardous merging situations will be created. The subdivision is, however, compatible
with the surrounding areas and the site will be developed pursuant to the General Plan, the
Development Code, all of which regulate commercial parcels and development. Future
development of commercial lots potentially will be compatible and sensitive to surrounding
development. The proposed subdivision potentially could provide adequate access and circulation
for emergency vehicles and may not impact existing circulation or emergency vehicle access.
E. The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements could
potentially be mitigated so that it is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Damage to any known fish,
wildlife or habitat on the project site or off-site could be potentially mitigated.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance An Environmental Initial Study was prepared for
this project. Findings within this initial study indicate that the proposed project will significantly
increase traffic volumes and coupled with the fact that there is substandard and limited spacing
between the intersection of Old Town Front Street (where the project will take access) and the 1-15
southbound ramp signal, congestion and unsafe vehicular movements will result and hazardous
merging situations will be created. As a consequence, this project may have a significant effect
on the environment and it is recommended that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be required.

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcropping, and histodc building
within a state scenic highway?
Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
Potentially
Sigrdficant
Impact
Less Than
Comments:
1.a.
No ImpacL The project site is adjacent to Interstate 15 and the ultimate development of the site will not
directly impact any 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. As a consequence no
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project or the future development of the site.
1.b.
No Impact. There are no designated scenic resources in the vicinity of the project site. The project site
includes a portion of the Murrieta Creek Channel, however, the project as proposed will preserve the
channel and all future development will not directly impact the channel. There are no scenic resources
within the project site within the view of a scenic highway. As a consequence, no significant impact to
scenic resources will result from the proposed project or the future development of the site.
1.C.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is approximately 37 acres of
vacant propercy which includes a portion of the Murrieta and Temecula Creek Channels. A majodty of the
site is composed of disturbed non-native grassland (30 acres). The remaining portion of the site is
comprised of Riparian Woodland (six acres) and Riversidian Sage Scrub plant communities (one acre).
The portion of the site which consists of drainage channels could potentially have significant visual
character given the presence of Riparian Woodland vegetation. The ultimate complete development of
all 37 acres of the property would significantly degrade the visual character and quality of the site and
surrounding properties. As mitigation, the project proposes to preserve the entire six acres of Riparian
Woodland and one haft acre of the one acre portion of the Riversidian Sage Scrub. For the one half acre
of Riversidian Sage Scrub that will be developed, the project proponent will be required to purchase one
half acre of Riversidian Sage Scrub off-site in compliance with the requirements of the California
Department of Fish and Game's Natural Communities Conservation Program (NCCP) [based on the
Evaluation Logic Flow Chart contained in Attachment "A" of the Biological Impact Report]. After mitigation,
any potential impacts could be mitigated to a level of insignificance.
1.d.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. Though this project only represents a subdivision
of the property into commercial lots, the ultimate buildout on the property will have a potentially significant
impact from light and glare, The project will produce and result in light/glare, as all development of this
nature results in new light sources. All light and glare has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar
Observatory. The project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance
Regulating Light Pollution). After mitigation, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project,

2. Agricultural Resources. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the Callfornta Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model
to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
Issues and Supporljng Information Sources
Convert Pdme Farm land, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
Conflict with the existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?
Involve other changes in the existing environment which,
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
farmland, to non-agricultural use?

Comments:
2a. ,2c. No Impact. The project site is not currently in agricultural production and in the histodc past has not ever
formerly been used for agricultural purposes. In addition this property is not considered pdme or unique
of Farmland of statewide importance pursuant the Farmland Mapping and Monitodng Program of the
Califomia Resources Agency or the City of Temecula's General Plan. In addition, the project will not
involve changes in the existing environment which would result in the conversion of farmland to non-
agricultural uses. Therefore, there is no significant impact related to this issue.
2b.
No Impact. The project site does not have an agricultural zoning designation by the City of Temecula, and
the site is not regulated by a Williamson Act contract. As a consequence there is no impact related to this
issue.

3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.
Would the project:
issues and Supporting Information Solaces
Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
air quality plan?
Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially
to an existing or projected air quality violation?
Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient
air quality standard (including releasing emissions which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors?
Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial
number of people?
Comments:
3.a.
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project represents only a subdivision of vacant property into
commercial lots; however, the analysis within this document has evaluated the potential development of
the site with commercial uses. The project as proposed will comply with State and national ambient air
quality standards. Although the project exceeds the air quality management policies in the current Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and emissions thresholds established in South Coast Air Quality
Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Handbook (April 1993), the City of Temecula's
General Plan EIR has addressed development of the site and proposed adequate mitigation for any
impacts. The analysis provided in 3b. below, discusses the project's compliance with the AQMP.
Therefore, no significant impacts related to conflicts with air quality plans will result from the proposed
project
3.b.
Less Than Significant ImpacL This project represents only a subdivision of vacant property into
commercial lots; however, this analysis has evaluated the potential development of the site with
commercial uses. The project proposes to provide for 12.61 net acres of developable land. Pursuant to
the City of Temecula's Development Code this site can ultimately be developed with 164,788 square feet
of commercial uses based on a target Floor Area Ratio of 0.30. Though this figure exceeds the
SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook (April 1993) threshold for impacts associated with commercial
development, this figure is consistent with target Floor Area Ratio (FAR) anticipated within the City's
General Plan. The General Plan established target floor area ratios within various land uses in order to
determine the intensity of uses and the impacts upon the environment. The General Plan EIR evaluates
the impacts of development at the target'FAR. The analysis conducted for this project assumes that the
ultimate development of the site will be at the target FAR for the Highway/Tourist zoning district. It is
anticipated that the development of the site will be less than the densities anticipated by the General Plan
and analyzed within the General Plan EIR. The General Plan EIR has established mitigation measures
for impacts associated with air quality through The General Plan's policies and guidelines. Consequently
a less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.

3.e.
Less Than Significant ImpacL As discussed in item b. above, though the project when ultimately
developed. will exceed the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook (Apdl 1993) thresholds for impacts
associated with commercial development, the City of Temecula's General Plan EIR has addressed the
impacts to air quality for a project on this site and established appropdate mitigation measures. Therefore,
all potential impacts resulting from cumulative net increases of any criteda pollutants have been addressed
within the policies and guidelines of the City of Temecula's EIR and mitigated for. As a consequence a
less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant
pollutants in proximity to the project nor is it anticipated that the project will generate pollutants. No
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. Though this project only represents a subdivision of the property into commercial lots, the
ultimate buildout on the property may create objectionable odors dudng the construction phase of the
project. These impacts, however, will be shod in duration and are not considered to be significant.
Consequently no impacts would result from this project.

Less than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is approximately 37 acres of
vacant property which includes a portion of the Murrieta and Temecula Creek Channels. A majodty of the
site is composed of disturbed non-native grassland (30 acres). The remaining portion of the site is
comprised of Riparian Woodland (six acres) and Riversidian Sage Scrub plant communities (one acre).
A biological impact report for the project site was prepared by Pdncipe and Associates in December of
1997. This study reveals that the ultimate development of the proposed project site will result in the
removal of all 30 acres of onsite Non-Native Grassland, the removal of approximately 0.5 acres of the total
Riversidian Sage Scrub onsite, and the preservation of the entire six acres of Riparian Woodland within
the boundaries of the project site. The study determined that the habitat within the Non-Native Grassland,
however is not considered to be a significant biological resource and the loss of this habitat is not
considered to be significant.
Development of the project site will also result in the removal of 0.5 acres of the one acre total of
Riversidian Sage Scrub which is considered a Sensitive Natural Plant Community. The study determined
that based on the Evaluation Logic Flow Chart included within the Southem California Coastal Sage Scrub,
Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP), Conservation Guidelines (Calif. Dept. of Fish and
Game, Nov. 1993), the onsite Riversidian Sage Scrub has a lower potential value for long-term
conservation given the fact that it is unoccupied by the Coastal California Gnatcatcher, and given that it
is a small isolated patch with no linkage to any other similar habitat.
The project site also contains six acres of Riparian Woodlands and jurisdictional wetlands. As proposed;
however, the project preserves almost the entire area with exception of 0.07 acres of area associated with
a small unnamed drainage channel which bisects the site and flows into Murrieta Creek as identified within
a Wetlands Delineation study for the project site was conducted by LSA Associates. For this small area
the applicant will be required to mitigate through obtaining a Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act and a Section 1601 Streambed
alteration Permit from the California Department of Fish and Game.
As mitigation for potential impacts created by the proposed project to the 30 acres of Non-Native Grassland
and the one acre of Riveraidian Sage Scrub the applicant shall be conditioned to: 1 ) comply with the
requirements established in the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Long-term Habitat Conservation Plan, primarily
through the payment of a mitigation fee; 2) preserve the 0.5 acre portion of Riversidian Sage Scrub on site
and mitigate the loss of the other 0.5 acres with the purchase of off-site habitat at a ratio of 1:1 as deemed
appropriate by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game in compliance with
the interim goals established within the NCCP Program; 3) preserve the entire six acres of Riparian
Woodlands habitat; 4) comply with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protocol and obtain clearance for the
Endangered Quino Checkerspot Butterfly by conducting additional field surveys prior to the issuance of
grading permits to determine if the host plant for the species are present in which case an adult survey

Murrieta and Temecula Creeks in order to avoid runoff contamination; 6) install utility extensions
underground; 7) revegetate all graded and disturbed areas near the channels with native tree and plant
species in order to reduce impacts from the project; 7) the applicant shall be required to prepare a
Biological Mitigation Plan to insure project compliance to the mitigation measures contained in this
document.
With the implementation of the above mentioned mitigation measures and associated conditions of
approval for this project, the impacts associated with project would be reduced to less than significant.
4.c. Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. In October of 1998 a Wetlands Delineation study
for the project site was conducted by LSA Associates. The study determined that approximately 5.62

4.6.
acres of the site met the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers criteda for jurisdictional wetlands and 5.93 acres
fell within the jurisdiction of the Calif. Department of Fish and Game. Of the acreage delineated as
jurisdictional wetlands a 0.07 acre portion of the site is proposed to be filled which will result in the loss of
wetlands and ripadan habitat. The lost wetlands area will be from a small unnamed drainage channel
which runs through the center of the project and flows into Murrieta Creek. The wetlands areas within
Murdeta and Temecula Creeks will be unaffected.
The loss of the wetlands/jurisdiction waters will require the project proponent to obtain a 404 Permit from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act and a Section
1601 Streambed alteration permit administered by the California Department of Fish and Game. As
mitigation for the lost wetlands the applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits from the
above referenced agencies prior to the issuance of grading permits. After mitigation, this project would
have a less than significant impact.
No ImpacL The City of Temecula does not have any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, therefore there is no impact associated with this project relative to this issue.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project is located within the fee area for the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat
(SKR) Long-Term Habitat Conservation Plan. All development within this fee area is required to pay a
mitigation fee. This project will be required to pay a mitigation fee for the SKR. In addition, the subject site
contains approximately one acre of Riversidian Sage Scrub which places the property within the jurisdiction
of the NCCP program. The project will be conditioned to comply with all requirements of the NCCP
program or develop their own habitat plan under the provisions of the NCCP. As a consequence a less
than significant impact is anticipated.

Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The General Plan and an earlier
Archaeological Investigation conducted by the Archaeological Reseamh Unit at the University of California
at Riverside in December of 1988 identifies a sensitive archaeological area along Murrieta Creek which
may extend into the subject site. Due to the potential for deposits in the area and at the recommendation
of the UCR Eastern Information Center (within correspondence dated October 13, 1997), future
development of the proposed site will be required to conduct a Phase II archeological investigation on site
prior to the approval any development project. It is anticipated that when future development is proposed
on the site and a Phase II archaeological study is conducted that this study would propose mitigation to
address any significant impacts that may occur. As a consequence a less than significant impact is
anticipated.
5.c.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The General Plan identifies that the area
could potentially be within a highly sensitive paleontological area. Due to the potential for deposits in the
area, future development of the proposed site will be conditioned to have an on site-monitor during grading
operations. The potential for future significant impacts will be determined and fully mitigated when future
development proposals are considered. As a consequence, a less than significant impact is anticipated.

No Impact. Though this project only represents a subdivision of the property into commercial lots, the
ultimate buildout of the property will involve construction. Construction associated with the development
of the property will involve the use of chemical agents, solvents, paints and other hazardous materials that
are associated with construction activities. The amount of these chemicals present dudng construction,
however, is limited and is not considered a significant hazard. As a consequence, no significant impact
is expected form the routine use and disposal of these materials.
7.b.
No Impact. The future development of the site will be commercial uses. It is anticipated that the future
uses within the project site will not store or house large quantities of hazardous material that would create
a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident

No Impact. Future development of the project site will be with commercial uses. This site is not within
one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The operation of construction equipment and
machinery during the development of this site may emit some hazardous emissions and or handle some
hazardous material. However, these emissions and material should be of limited quantities over a short
durationoftime. Since this project site in not within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school,
and will not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances,
or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste, no impacts are anticipated.
No Impact. This project site is not nor is it located near a site which is included on a list of hazardous
materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 that would it create a significant

No Impact. The project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public
or private airstrip. No impact upon airport uses will result from this proposal.
No Impact. The project will take access from maintained public streets and will therefore not impede
emergency response or evacuation plans. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. This project site is adjacent to 1-15 to the east and Murdeta Creek to the west. Though the

No Impact. The project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level. The project will not have an affect on 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. Further, construction on the site will not be
at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters or aquifer volume. No impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage
pattam of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or dver, in a manner
which would result in substantial erosion or siltation and/or flooding on- or off-site. Some changes to
absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount 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 runoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage
conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoff which is created. A
less than significant impact is associated with this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. Due to the small scale of the proposed subdivision, and ultimately the
future commercial development, the project will not create or contribute runoff water which would exceed
the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources
of polluted runoff. The project will be conditioned to accommodate the drainage created as a result of the
subject site. In addition, the project will be cenditioned so that the drainage will not impact surrounding
properties. A less than significant impact is associated with this project.
No Impact. This project represents a subdivision of property into commercial parcels. Since no residential

Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project may expose people or
property to water related hazards such as flooding. According to the Riverside County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District, the project site is in area which is subject to severe flood hazard from Muraleta
Creek. Further, the site is located within the limits of the 100-year (Zone AE) floodplain/floodway as
delineated on Panel No. 060742 0010B of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps issued in conjunction with the
National Flood Insurance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
In its current configuration; however, the project is designed with all pads for future development being
elevated above the floodway/floodplain. This project and all future development of the site will be
conditioned so that the developer will be required to file a floodplain development permit with the
appropriate approvals from the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation Distdct if any
portion of the site is to be developed within the floodplain. In addition, future development will be
conditioned to pay a mitigation charge to the Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Drainage Plan.
In addition, the project is located within a dam inundation area as identified in the City of Temecula General
Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. Impacts can be mitigated by utilizing existing emergency
response systems and by assuring that these systems continue to maintain adequate service provision
as the City develops. With the incorporation of mitigation measures a less than significant impact is
anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. The project site will not be subject to inundation by sieche, tsunami, or mudflow as these
events are not known to happen in this region. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

No Impact. The subject site is vacant and is bordered by Murrieta Creek on the west and Interstate 15
on the east. These two features provide an existing physical barrier to the surrounding properties to the
east and west. The property to the north is comprised primarily of existing commercial uses. The
properties to the west and south are vacant and zoned Open Space. Therefore, the proposed subdivision
of this property will not conflict with applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with

11.c.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will ultimately result in the development of the site with
commercial uses which will create noise levels greater than that currently emanating from the vacant land.
However, those noises will not be substantial nor constant and are not anticipated to create a substantial

Comments:
15.a.
Potentially Significant Impact. The development of the project and its proposed access on the south
side of Highway 79 South/Western Bypass at Front Street, will cause a substantial increase in traffic and
could have potential for significant impact at this intersection and the 1-15 southbound ramps.
Due to the substandard and limited spacing between the intersection of Old Town Front Street and 1-15
southbound ramp signal (160 feet) and the high traffic volumes generated by the project (7,909 ADT),
congestion and unsafe vehicular movements could be expected at intersections in the vicinity of the
project.
Although the traffic study prepared by the applicants consultant and its subsequent revisions indicate an
acceptable interim operation conditions, staff believes that the site access as proposed, will adversely
impact the traffic flow in the vicinity of the project at the I-15 interchange.
15.b.
Potentially Significant Impact. This project could potentially cumulatively exceed the level of service
standard (LOS "E") established within the County's Congestion Management Plan (CMP). State Highway
79(S), and Interstate 15 are roads which are within the County's CMP. Though the traffic study conducted
by the applicant's traffic engineer states otherwise, City staff has determined that this project will be
responsible for a significant increase in traffic volumes. This increase in traffic volumes coupled with the
close spacing between the intersection at the extension of Old Town Front Street and Western Bypass
Corridor with the southbound on and off ramps for 1-15, may lead to congestion and gridlock on State
Highway 79(S) and could potentially cause southbound traffic on 1-15 to back up. As a consequence a
potentially significant impact may result from this project.

subsequent revisions prepared by the applicant's traffic engineer, City staff has determined that will
generate significant traffic volumes. These increased traffic volumes coupled with the close spacing
between the intersection at the extension of Old Town Front Street and Western Bypass Corridor with the
southbound on and off ramps for 1-15, may lead to significant traffic congestion. The added congestion
combined with close spacing of the Old Town Front Street and I-15 ramps could result in unsafe vehicular.
The traffic study submitted for this project does not adequately address this issue, therefore this project
could have a potentially significant impact.
Less Than Significant Impact. This project is a subdivision of vacant properby into commercial lots and
as a consequence it is difficult to determine what the ultimate impacts on emergency access will be at this
time. All subsequent development projects on parcels within this project will be evaluated to determine
the impacts to emergency access. Future development of the site will be conditioned to meet all applicable
standards in place at the time of development. Emergency access to nearby uses will not be affected by
this project given that the project is generally surrounded by undevelopable properties. As a consequence
the project will have a less than significant impact.
No Impact. This project represents a subdivision of vacant land into commercial lots, no specific
development is being proposed at this time. Consequently it is not possible to determine specific parking
requirements for the site, however, any subsequent development of the proposed parcels will be required
to comply with the City's Development Code parking requirements for commercial uses. Therofore, no
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project as proposed does not currently conflict with adopted policies,
plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation. When future development is proposed for the
site, individual projects will be reviewed to determine if the provision of alternative transportation
opportunities will be appropriate. As a consequence, a less than significant impact is anticipated.

16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project:
Issues and Supporting information Sources
Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the
applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board?
Require or result in the construction of new water or
wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
Require or result in the construction of new storm water
drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the
project from existing entitlements and resources, or are
new or expanded entitlements needed?
Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment
provider which serves or may serve the project that it has
adequate capacity to serve the project's projected
demand in addition to the provider's existing
commitments?
Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity
to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal
needs?
Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste?
Comments:
16.a.,b., e.
No Impact. The project will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements, require the construction of
new treatment fadlities, nor affect the capadty of treatment providers. The project will have an incremental
effect upon existing systems. However, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's
General Plan states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact
wastewater services." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts
are anticipated as a result of this project. Moreover, the project will be conditioned to comply with the
Regional Water Quality Control Board standards that will be monitored by the Department of Public Works.
No significant impacts are anticipated.
16.c.
No ImpacL The project will not result in the need for new storm water drainage facilities. The development
of the tract will require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities on site that will
connect to the existing system currently in place along Old Town Front Street at the northern end of the
site. The design of the existing system is sufficient handle this project and will not require the expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. Drainage fees
are required by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation Distdct to reimburse the
county for the Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan. No significant impacts are anticipated.
16.d. No Impact. The project will not significantly impact existing water supplies nor require expanded water
entitlements. The project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. While the project will have
an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's
R:\STAFFRPT\307PA97.PC.doc
35
General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is
required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed
General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent
with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are
no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site, No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
16.f.g. Less Than Significant ImpacL The project will not result in a need for new landfill capacity. Any potential
impacts from solid waster created by this development can be mitigated through participation in Source
Reduction and Recycling Programs, which are implemented by the City. No significant impacts are
anticipated as a result of this project.

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
b=
C=
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 of
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal
or eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ('Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future projects?
Does the project have environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Potentially
Significant
Impact
No
Impact
Comments:
17.a.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. The ultimate development of the site has potential
to impact habitat for fish or wildlife species. The project proposes to disturb 0.5 acres of Riversidian Sage
Scrub, however, if the project were approved mitigation measures would be included to reduce this to a
less than significant impact. In addition, the project proposes to disturb 0.07 acres of wetlands. If
approved the project would be conditioned to mitigate this impact by obtaining a Section 404 Permit from
the Army Corps of Engineers and a Section 1601 Permit from the Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game. A less
than significant impact would result if mitigation measures are incorporated.
17.b.
Potentially Significant Impact. The project could have a potentially significant impact with respect to
traffic impacts. City staff has determined that the project could potentially generate increased traffic
volumes which could cumulatively effect traffic in the vicinity of the project.
17.c.
No Impact. This project and the future development of the site will not have environmental effects that
would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, directly or indirectly. The subdivision is
designed and will be developed consistent with the Development Code and General Plan. if approved,
no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

18. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR,
or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or
negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following
on attached sheets.
Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review.
Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which affects from the above check list were within the scope
of and adequately analyzed in an eadier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state
whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and
the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
18.a.
18.b.
18.c.
No eadier analyses sped~cally related to this project site were used. However, a number of studies were
conducted for a previous subdivision (Tentative Parcel Map 23987) which included this property. These
studies include: "A Reevaluation of Archaeological Sites Recorded on TPM 23987" prepared by The
Archaeological Research Unit at UCR (December 1988); A Biological Assessment conducted by Tierra
Madre Consultants (October 1988); A Stephens Kangaroo Rat Study conducted by Friesen Biological
Surveys for TPM 19851 (undated); two Geotechnical Investigations conducted by Schaefer Dixon
Associates (Apdl 1988 and February 1989).. With the exception of the archeological study, none of these
studies were used in this analysis due to their age. Reference was only briefly made to this document.
The City's General Plan and Final Environment Impact Report were used as a referenced source in
preparing this Initial Study
There were no earlier impacts which affected this project.
The recommendation of this Initial Environmental Study is that an Environmental Impact Report be
prepared. As a consequence no Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared.

BACKGROUND
The proposed Development Agreement will resolve litigation caused by the right-of-way acquisition
for the new Pala Road bridge. The Development Agreement would allow the property owner to do
the following:
Develop the property in a manner that conforms to the requirements of the existing Highway
Tourist (HT) and Professional Office (PO) Zones, except for the following:
That one of the allowable general merchandise or retail uses could be larger than
Development Code would otherwise allow for HT Zone; and,
B. That no restaurants could be located in the PO Zone area west of Pala Road;
2. Adjust the required building setbacks in conformance with the existing Development Code;
Receive a partial site landscaping credit for open space areas adjacent to the Temecula
Creek channel;
4. Pay the applicable Development Impact Fee at a rate that was in effect on January 1, 1999;
5. Receive a partial waiver of some required public improvement plan check fees; and
Receive a financial contribution from the City (not to exceed $100,000) toward the
construction of extension of Jedediah Smith Road and related area drainage facilities.
In exchange, the property owner agrees to allow the immediate construction of the new Pala Road
bridge and associated improvements. The original Agreement conveyed no additional land use
development rights not previously allowed or authorized under the City's adopted Development
Code. After considering the proposed Agreement, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the Development Agreement at their September 15, 1999 meeting. However,
immediately prior to the October 19, 1999 City Council meeting, the applicant requested that some
additional clarifying language be included into the Agreement. Upon hearing the request, the City
Council directed that the Agreement be returned to the Planning Commission for their review.
The additional language would further clarify which type of uses would be considered as general
merchandise/retail in this area and would allow one of these size-limited general merchandise/retail
uses to exceed the maximum size stated in the Development Code. The proposed additions to
Section 1.15 of the Development Agreement are as follows:
"Under this Agreement, the following uses are classified as General
merchandise/retail store uses: camera shops, clothing sales, computer sales and
service, furniture sales, and hardware stores. In addition, this Agreement also
permits one of these general merchandise/retail stores to be as large as 20,000
square feet."
Staff believes that these additions are reasonable and that they will not result in a development
pattern that is substantially different from other Highway Tourist (HT) Commercial areas. The first
reason is that given this site's location, these additions will not hinder the implementation or goals
of the General Plan. The Development Code already allows general merchandise/retail uses in the
F:\DEPTS\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~.73PA99 2PC1 .doc
2
HT Zone. The proposed clarification provides a degree of certainty to the property owner, that
certain uses will be considered as general merchandise/general retail businesses when future
development is proposed. The flexibility in the size will facilitate the development of more than just
service stations and fast food restaurants in the Highway Tourist Commercial area. Most of retail
uses permitted in the HT Zone do not have similar size restrictions. Given the location of this area,
staff believes that the requested modification is very minor, reasonable, and would not adversely
impact the City or its adopted General Plan. Therefore, staff recommends that the Commission
recommend approval of the Agreement, with the requested clarification, to the City Council. A copy
of the modified Development Agreement in included in Exhibit A of Attachment No. 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff prepared and circulated an Initial Environmental Study for the Development Agreement. The
Study indicated that the proposed Development Agreement would have no environmental impacts
that had not been previously addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the General
Plan and Development Code. The minor clarification does not change the nature of the project or
the environmental impact discussion contained in the Initial Study. As a result, staff recommends
that a Negative Declaration be adopted for this project.

cost of $0.75/SF. The additional consideration for Parcel 2 would be 5,744 at $4.00/SF less 4,299
SF at $0.75/SF or $19,751.75.
Total consideration for the additional right-of-way is $26,491.75.
2. OWNER has agreed to enter into a License Agreement ('q_,icense")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "If' for the purpose of insuring CITY access to
the wetlands mitigation area described in the Action as Parcel B. The License shall be conveyed at
such time as OWNER receives consideration, in the mount of One Dollar ($1.00), from the CITY.
4.6 Termination of Eminent Domain Action. In addition to the other compensation
in this Agreement, the entire deposit in the eminent domain action (Kiverside County Superior
Court Case No. RIC , referred to in the rest of this section as the "Action")
of Two Hundred N'mety-five Thousand Dollars ($295,000.00), plus any interest that accrued on the
deposit, shall be immediately released to OWNER. Once OWNER receives such funds, OWNER
shall, at C1TY's option, either (a) stipulate to a fmal order of condemnation for the "subject
property" defined in the Complaint in Eminent Domain in the Action, or Co) sign and deliver a deed
transferring said "subject Property" to CITY, with CITY then dismissing OWNER from the Action.
5. Further Assurances to OWNER Reearding Exercise of Reserved Authority.
5.1. Adontion of General Plan and Grantins of Other Project Aunrovals. In
prepaxing and adopting any general plan amendment, zoning district change and in granting the
other Project Approvals, CITY reserves its right to and shall consider the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of CITY.
5.2. Assurances to OWNER. The parties further acknowledge that the public benefits
to be provided by OWNER to CITY pursuant to this Agreement are in consideration for and
reliance upon assurances that the Property can be developed in accordance with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. Accordingly, while recognizing that the Development of the
Property may be affected by exercise of the authority and rights reserved and excepted as provided
in Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. ("Reserved Authority") or this Agreement, OWNER is concerned that
normally the judiciary extends to local agencies significant deference in the adoption of land use
regulations which might permit CITY in violation of the Reserved Authority, to attempt to apply
regulations which are inconsistent with the Project Approvals pursuant to the exercise of the
Reserved Authority. Accordingly, OWNER desires assurances that CITY shall not and CITY
agrees that it shall not further restrict or limit the development of the Property in violation of this
Agreement except in strict accordance with the Reserved Authority.
5.3. Judicial Review. Based on the foregoing, in the event OWNER judicially
(including by way of a reference proceeding) challenges the application of a future land use
regulation as being in violation of this Agreement and as not being a land use regulation adopted
pursuant to the Reserved Authority, OWNER shall bear the burden of proof in establishing that
such rule, regulation or policy is inconsistent with the Existing Regulations and the Project
Approvals and CITY shall thereafter bear the burden of proof in establishing that such regulation
was adopted pursuant to and in accordance with the Reserved Authority and was not applied by
CITY in violation of this Agreement.

6. Indemnification. Except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Indemnified Parties (as defined below), OWNER, and with respect to the portion of the Property
transferred to them, the transferee agree:
(i) to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against each
and every claim, action, proceeding cost, fee, legal cost, damage, award or liability of any nature
arising from alleged damages caused to third pardes and alleging that CITY is liable therefor as a
direct or indirect result of C1TY's approval of this Development Agreement. OWNER's duties
under this Section 6(i) are solely subject to and conditioned upon the Indemnified Parties' written
request to OWNER to defend and/or indemnify CITY. Without in any way limiting the provisions
of this Section 6(i), the pardes hereto agree that this Section 6(i) shall be interpreted in accordance
with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2778 in effect as of the Agreement Date.
(ii) during the term of this Agreement, to defend CITY and its agents, officers, contractors,
attorney, and employees (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any claims or proceeding

Agreement. CITY shall retain settlement authority with respect to any matter provided that prior
to settling any such lawsuit or claim, OWNER shall provide CITY with a minimum ten (10)
business days written notice of its intent to settle such lawsuit or claim. ff CITY(in its reasonable
discretion) does not desire to settle such lawsuit or claim, it may notify OWNER of the same, in
which event OWNER may still elect to settle the lawsuit or claim as to itself; but CITY may elect
to continue such lawsuit, but at OWNER's cost and expense, so long as the CITY's decision is
predicated upon a legitimate and articulated threat to either the exercise of its police powers or a
risk of harm to those present within the CITY.
7. Relationshin of Parties. The contractual relationship between CITY and OWNER is such
that OWNER is an independent contractor and not the agent or employee of CITY. CITY and
OWNER hereby renounce the existence of any form of joint venture or partnership between them,
and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any document executed in connection with
the Project shah be construed as making CITY and OWNER joint venturers or parmen.
8. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or
canceled in whole or in part only by mutual consent of the parties in the manner provided for in
Government Code Section 65868. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or any
provision hereof shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by duly authorized
representatives of each party hereto. This provision shall not limit CITY's or owner remedies as
provided by Section 10.
9. Periodic Review of Comnliance with Aereement.
9.1. Periodic Review. CITY and OWNER shall review this Agreement at least once

9.2. Good-Faith Co mnl ian ce. During each periodic review, OWNER shall be required
to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. OWNER agrees to
furnish such reasonable evidence of good faith compliance as CITY, in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion, may require. If requested by OWNER, CITY agrees to provide to OWNER,
a certificate that OWNER or a Development Transferee is in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, provided OWNER reimburses CITY for all reasonable and direct costs and fees
incurred by C1TY with respect thereto.
9.3. Failure to Conduct Annual Review. The failure of the CITY to conduct the
annual review shall not be an OWNER default. Further, OWNER shall not be entitled to any
remedy for CITY failure to conduct this annual review.
9.4. Initiation of Review by City Council. In addition to the annual review, the CITY
Council may at any time initiate a review of this Agreement by giving written notice to OWNER.
Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, OWNER shall submit evidence to the
CITY Council of OWNER's good faith compliance with this Agreement and such review and
determination shall proceed in the same manner as provided for the annual review. The City
Council shall initiate its review pursuant to this Section 9.4 only if it has probable cause to believe
the CITY's general health, safety or welfare is at risk as a result of specific acts or failures to act by
OWNER,
9.5 Administration of Aereement. Any decision by CITY staff concerning the
interpretation and administration of this Agreement and Development of the Property in accordance

9.6. Availability of Documents. If requested by OWNER, CITY agrees to provide to

thereto. CITY shall respond to OWNER's request on or before ten (10) business days have
elapsed from CITY' s receipt of such request.
10. Events of Default: Remedies and Termination. Unless mended or canceled as provided
in Section 8, or modified or suspended pursuant to Government Code Section 65869.5 or
terminated pursuant to this Section 10, this Agreement is enforceable by either party hereto.
10.1. Defaults by OWNER. If CITY determines on the basis of a preponderance of the
evidence that OWNER has not complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, CITY shall, by written notice to OWNER, specify the manner in which OWNER has
failed to so comply and state the steps OWNER must take to bring itself into compliance. If, within
sixty (60) days after the effective date of notice from CITY specifying the manner in which
OWNER has failed to so comply, OWNER does not commence all steps reasonably necessary to
bring itself into compliance as required and thereafter diligently pursue such steps to completion,
then OWNER shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of this Agreement. CITY may
F:XDEPT~XPLANNINO~TAFFRPTx273pA99 Devele~nmt A~re4mmtdoc
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1. OWNER agrees that ks
default hereunder is a conclusive representation that it is consenting to the cancellation of this
Agreement. In event of default by OWNER. except as provided in Section 10~3, CITYs sole
remedy for any breach of this Agreement by OWNER shall be C1TYs right to terminate this
Agreement.
10.2. Defaults bv CITY. If OWNER determines on the basis of a preponderance of the
evidence that CITY has not complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, OWNER shall, by written notice to CITY, specify the manner in which CITY has failed
to so comply and state the steps CITY must take to bring itself into compliance. If, within sixty
(60) days after the effective date of notice from OWNER specifying the manner in which CITY has
failed to so comply, CITY does not commence all steps reasonably necessary to bring itself into
compliance as required and thereaRer diligently pursue such steps to completion, then CITY shall
be deemed to be in default under the terms of this Agreement and OWNER may terminate this
A~reement and, in addition, may pursue any other remedy available at law or equity, including
specific performance as set forth in Section 10.3.
10.3. Specific Performance Remedy. Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it
will not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation
of this Agreement has begun. ARer such implementation, OWNER may be foreclosed from other
choices it may have had to utilize the Property and provide for other benefits. OWNER has
invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the
Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time
and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is
not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate OWNER for such
efforts. For the above reasons, CITY and OWNER agree that damages would not be an adequate
remedy if CITY fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and that OWNER shall have
the right to seek and obtain specific performance as a remedy for any breach of this Agreement.
CITY and OWNER further acknowledge that, if OWNER fails to carry out its obligations under
this Agreement, CITY shall have the right to refuse to issue any permits or other approvals which
OWNER would otherwise have been entitled to pursuant to this Agreement. Therefore, CITY~s
remedy of terminating this Agreement shall be sufficient in most circumstances if OWNER fads to
carry out its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CITY issues a permit or
other approval pursuant to this Agreement in reliance (explicitly stated in writing) upon a specified
condition being satisfied by OWNER in the future, and if OWNER then fails to satisfy such
condition, CITY shall be entitled to specific performance for the sole purpose of causing OWNER
to satisfy such condition. CITYs right to specific performance shall be limited to those
circumstances set forth above, and CITY shall have no right to seek specific performance to cause
OWNER to otherwise proceed with the Development of the Project in any manner.
10.4. Institution of Leeal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, OWNER
or CITY may institute legal action to cure, correct or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants
or agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof to recover damages
for any default, or to obtain any other remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement.
Such legal action shall be heard by a reference from the Riverside County Superior Court pursuant
to the reference procedures of the California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638, et ~eq.
OWNER and CITY shall agree upon a single referee who shall then try all issues, whether of fact
F:~DEPTS~LANNING~TAFFRPT~73pA99 Development Agreemint. doe
17
or law, and report a finding and judgment thereon and issue all legal and equitable relief appropriate
under the circumstances of the controversy before him. If OWNER and CITY are unable to agree
on a referee within tan (10) days of a written request to do so by either party hereto, either party
may seek to have one appointed pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 640.
The cost of such proceeding shall initially be borne equally by the parties. Any referee selected
pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be considered a temporary judge appointed pursuant to Article
6, Section 21 of the California Constitution.
10.S. EStOnOel Certificates. Either party may at any time deliver written notice to the
other party requesting an estoppel certificate (the "Estoppel Certificate") stating:
10.5. 1. The Agreement is in full force and effect and is a binding obligation of the
parties.
10.5.2. The Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing
or, if so amended, identifying the amendments.
10.5.3. No defauk in the performance of the requesting party's obligations under the
A~reement exists or, if a default does exist, the nature and amount of any default. A party
receiving a request for an Estoppel Certificate shall provide a signed certificate to the requesting
party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request. The City Manager or any person
designated by the City Manager may sign Estoppel Certificates on behalf of the CITY. Any officer
of OWNER may sign on behalf of OWNER. An Estoppel Certificate may be relied on by assignees
and mortgagees.
10.5.4. In the event that one party requests an Estoppel Certificate from the other,
the requesting party shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable and direct costs and fees
incurred by such party with respect thereto.
11. Waivers and Delays.
11.1. No Waiver. Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the
provisions of this Agreernant by the other party, and failure by a party to exercise its fights upon a
default by the other party hereto, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to demand strict
compliance by such other party in the future.
11.2. Third Parties. Non-performance shall not be excused because of a failure of a
third person, except as provided in Section 11.3.
11.3. Force Maieure. OWNER shall not be deemed to be in default where failure or
delay in performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement is caused by floods,
earthquakes, other Acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar hostilities, strikes and other labor
difficulties beyond OWNER control, government regulations (including, without limitation, local,
state and federal environmental and natural resource regulations), voter initiative or referenda,
moratoria (including. without limitation, any "development moratorium" as that term is applied in
Government Code Section 66452.6) or judicial decisions.

cured within such period, then to commence to core such default. Further, a Lender shall not be
required to core any non-curable default of OWNER, and any such default shall be deemed cured if
any lender obtains possession.

17.08.010 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
The following zoning districts are intended to provide regulations for the safe, efficient and creative
design of the commercial, office and industrial areas within the city. The zoning districts are
intended to be consistent with the land use designatjons that are described in the land use eleme. nt
of the Temecula general plan. In certain situations several zoning districts are established to
implement the goals and objectives of the general plan.
The commercial/office/industrial zoning districts are intended to permit the range of industrial or
commercial uses in areas where uses are consistent with the general plan. It is further intended
to accomplish the following:
Provide for appropriate commercial areas to provide the city with a sound retail and
industrial base with employment opportunities for the community.
To ensure compatibility of retail commercial and office uses with adjacent land uses and to
minimize traffic congestion and overloading of the city's utility systems.
To encourage and assure that new COmmercial and industrial development will be planned
in a comprehensive manner with high standards of architecture, landscape and site design.
(Ord. 95-16 § 2 (part))
17.08.020 DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL/OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.
The purpose and intent of the zoning districts are described as follows:
Neighborhood Commercial (NC). The neighborhood commercial designation includes
smaller-scale business activities which generally provide retail or convenience services for
the local residents in the surrounding neighborhood. Typical uses include traditional small
food markets (floor area less than twenty-five thousand square feet). drug stores, clothing
stores, sporting goods, offices, hardware stores, child care and community facilities.
Includes Amendments as of June 1, 1999
Community Commercial (CC), The community commercial designation includes retail,
professional office and service-oriented business activities which serve the entire
community. Community commercial areas typically include some neighborhood commercial
uses as well as larger retail uses including department stores, theaters, restaurants,
professional offices, specialty retail stores and shopping centers.
Chapter 17.08-1
Highway/Tourist Commercial (HT). The highway commercial designation is intended to
provide for those uses that are located adjacent to major transportation routes or within
convenient access from freeway interchanges. Highway commercial development should
be located near major arterials, and developed as clusters of commercial development
rather than permitted to extend along the major streets. Typical uses may include tourist
accommodations and lodging facilities, automobile service stations, restaurants,
convenience shopping, and food stores, and gift shops.
D=

17.08.070 COMMERCIAL/OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide for uniform performance standards and
criteria for the design of commercial buildings within the city in accordance with the
recognition that the quality and compatibility of building design directly impacts the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of the community. Moreover, quality and compatible
building design promotes and preserves the stability of the city through orderly growth and
enhancement of a quality business environment. These purposes are further achieved
through the following:
The enhancement of the physical character of the community and quality of life
through sound planning and coordinated development.
Includes Amendments as of June 1, 1999 Chapter 17.08 - 23
2. The balancing of aesthetic design qualities with functional development.
The preservation and enhancement of the physical character, integrity and quality
of commercial/office/industrial areas.
The enhancement and protection of property values and the adherence to the goals
and policies of the general plan.
The stimulation of improvements and maintenance of surrounding properties,
thereby preventing and reversing the effects of urban blight.
General Performance Standards. Developments in the commercial/office/industrial distncts
should be designed to provide variety and visual interest while still creating a unified overall
image. Performance standards to achieve this image include, but are not limited to the
following:
Use creative entry treatments with such features as canopies, awnings, cornices or
atdums.
Use a vadety of complementary colors and avoid the use of just one color and d~.rk
colors.
3, Use various window shapes and sizes.
4. Vary the building shapes by using curved or angled walls.
Separate buildings or accessory structures should be designed as an integral part
of the primary building by using complementary materials, common architectural
elements, and special landscape design techniques,
Use a consistent design theme throughout the project. Employ complementary or
consistent details, shapes, materials and colors, In addition, consistent signage
should be provided with complementary colors. lettering, placement and materials.
The bulk of the building should be divided to reduce the apparent scale and provide
visual interest. Box-like designs should be avoided. This can be accomplished
through the following:
Use variations in the building footprints and facades. Such variations should
be proportional to the overall bulk of the buildings with variations being
greater for large buildings.
Use a variety of shapes and forms including architectural projections such
as roof overhangs, box windows, stainNays, balconies, and cantilevers that
create shadows on the buildings.
Use contrasting vertical and horizontal elements that help to break the visual
mass of the facade into smaller areas,
d. Divide the bulk of the roof into smaller areas to reduce the apparent scale
of the building and provide visual interest. The roof can be designed with
varying heights and slopes to contrast with a flat roof.
includes Arnen~ments as of June 1. 1999 Creamier 17.08 - 24
Where the character or scale is identifiable, new development should be designed
to maintain that character and to be compatible with that scale. In areas where the
charaCter is not identifiable, new development should be aesigned to be
complementary or consistent with desirable charactenstics of the surrounding area
in a way that contributes to the establishment of a positive character and scale for
the area through the use of similar or complementary materials, colors, or building
forms and design details.
Development should be designed to minimize detrimental impacts on surrounding
properties, including, but not limited to, visual. noise, air quality and other
environmental impacts. Strategies for minimizing the impacts include protecting
residential areas adjacent to commercial development through screening of
circulation areas, loading areas and trash collection points or other areas that could
potentially be disruptive to the residential character of the adjacent area.
Commercial Development Performance Standards.
1. Circulation.
Limit egress and ingress to commercial areas to common entrance points.
Orient most of the vehicular access from side streets rather than directly
from major arterial.
Separate vehicular and pedestdan circulation systems should be provided
if possible. Pedestrian linkages between uses in the commercial areas
should be provided. In shopping centers, provide separate pedestrian
walkways from parking areas to the major commercial tenants. Whenever
possible, parking lots should be designed to separate vehicular circulation
routes from parking aisles.
2. Architectural Design.
Large buildings should be designed in such a manner to avoid excessive
mass and bulk. This can be accomplished by dividing the building form,
varying the height of the roof structure and by creating offsets in the exterior
walls.
The lower floors of commercial structures should not have blank walls.
Windows, trellises, wall articulation, and entrances can provide relief along
expansive wall surfaces.
Upper portions of multistory commercial structures can be stepped-back to
reduce the bulk and mass of the buildings and to preserve pedestrian scale.
3. Site Planning and Design.
Pedestrian amenities in commercial developments should be provided to
enhance the opportunities for pedestrian circulation and social activities.
Strategies to achieve this high degree of pedestrian orientation and activity
include, but are not limited to, the following:
IncJucles Amendments as of June 1, 1999 Chapter 17.08 - 25
D+
Orient the design of the buildings to the scale of pedestrian. First
floor uses should be palmadly retail commercial, restaurants, or
public use areas. Windows and door entrances should be located on
the ground floor to encourage pedestrian activity. Large expanses
of uninterrupted wall surfaces should not be permitted.
ii.
Provide covered or enclosed walkways between the buildings on the
site.
ill
Provide pedestrian plazas and sidewalks of sufficient width adjacent
to buildings along with amenities such as special lighting, interesting
paving materials, landscaping benches and other street furniture.
Whenever possible, new structures should be clustered. This creates plazas
or pedestrian malls instead of rows of commercial or "S!rip commercial."
Separate structures can be linked with arcades, trellis or clearly defined
walkway.
Minimize conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular traffic as much as
possible by odenting pedestrian circulation areas parallel with the ~ow,.of
traffic through the parking areas.
Loading facilities shall not be located in front of structures without screening.
These facilities are most appropriately located at the rear of the structures
where screening can be minimal or not needed.
Open spaca areas should be concentrated or clustered into larger more
meaningful spaces at areas of significant activity, rather than dispersed into
small areas of low impact or on the periphery of the site.
Compatibility. When a commercial structure is located adjacent to a residential
neighborhood additional setbacks from the residentially zoned area shall be
required. Multistory buildings may be stepped back to preserve the scale of the
adjacent low dse structures.
Industrial Development Performance Standards.
1, Circulation.
The circulation plan for an industrial development should clearly differentiate
circulation plans for employees, visitors, truck traffic, loading areas and
pedestrian circulation.
Facilities should be provided, when appropriate, for access to bus routes,
bus stops.
c. Bicycle parking areas should be provided for employees.
Walkways and paths should be provided opportunities for v~alking or jogging
for employees.
Includes Amendments as of June 1, 1999 Chapter 17.08 - 26
2. Architectural Design.
Long unarticulated walls should be avoided. Wall planes should not extend
in a continuous direction for greater than fifty feet without an offset.
b. Outstanding building and roof forms, and distinctive windows patterns.
c. Blank well elevations should be avoided on street frontages.
d, Highly reflective surfaces are discouraged especially at the ground level.
Wall materials should be selected that are resilient to damage from
machinery.
If rolling shutter doors are required, the doors should be mounted on the
inside of the building to create an uncluttered appearance from the exterior.
Site Planning and Design.
Placement of structures which creates opportunities for plazas, courts. or
gardens, lunch areas for employees with amenities such as outdoor seating
and garden areas.
Design features which contribute to the design character of a project may
include: ceremonial entrance ddves, enhanced visitor parking areas,
highlighted visitor entrance areas, decorative pedestrian plazas and
walkways, focal landscape treatments, site sculptures. employee
recreational facilities (exercise courses, jogging paths).
In order to provide security, lighting should be provided at a minimum
illumination of one footcandle across parking areas and two footcandles at
entrances. Lighting fixtures should be shielded to confine the spread of light
to adjoining Properties. The desi~tn of the lighting fixtures should be
compatible with the architecture of the building.
Loading areas should generally not be located in the front of the building
where it is difficult to adequately screen the loading areas from public view.
These areas are most appropriately located in the rear or side of the
property so that the loading docks and doors are not directly in the public
view.
When walls or fences are necessary in the frontage of the property to
conceal storage and mechanical equipment areas, walls should be
architecturally treated on both sides and should be designed to complement
and blend with the architectural design of the building.
Long expanses of fencing or walls should be avoided unless offsets
are provided, height variations, and combinations of materials are
used to avoid monotony. Landscaping along the fences and at
specific pockets should be provided.
Includes Amendments as of June 1, 1999 Cl~apter 17.08 - 27
ii.
Screening for outdoor storage should be a minimum, of eight feet and
a maximum of twelve feet high depending on the height of the
material being screened. Exterior storage should be in the portions
of the site least visible from public view.
iii.
Chain link fencing with wood or metal slatting between the links is
acceptable for areas that are not visible from the street.
iv.
When screening is required, a combination of screening techniques
may be used, including solid masonry walls, landscaped Perins and
landscaping.
Mechanical or other utility equipment shall be screened whether it is located
on the roof, side of building or on the ground. The method of screening shall
be architecturally integrated in terms of materials, color and form. Roof top
equipment should be integrated into the design of the building.
Compatibility. Where industrial uses are adjacent to nonindustrial uses, appropriate
buffering techniques such as increased setbacks, screening, herins and
landscaping must be provided to mitigate any negative effects of indust.rial
operations. (Ord. 96-19 § 2(KK); Oral. 95-16 § 2 (part))
17.08.080 ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS.
Development projects and buildings should be designed to minimize detrimental impacts on
surrounding properties, including, but not limited to, visual, noise, air quality and other
environmental impacts. Strategies for minimizing the impacts include protecting residential areas
adjacent to industrial development through screening of circulation areas, loading areas and trash
collection points or other areas that could potentially be disruptive to the residential character of
the adjacent area.
Noise. Any existing or proposed uses which generate sounds that are or may be considered
a nuisance or hazard to any adjacent property due to the intermittence,.beat, frequency,
or shrillness of the sounds, shall have the source of the noise muffled or otherwise
controlled so that the noise is subdued to acceptable levels. Construction work is exempt
from this requirement during the period a valid building permit is in force.
Particulate Matter. Any existing or proposed use shall not discharge excessive particulate
matter into the atmosphere for a period that exceeds three minutes in any one hour. The
following standards establish maximum acceptable levels:
Smoke. The density reading designated as Number 1 on the United States Bureau
of Mines Ringelmann Chart is the maximum acceptable level.
Dust, Dirt and Ash. Any level which can or may cause damage to the health of any
individual, animal, or plant or physical soiling or discoloration of the surfaces of any
structure or material which is located outside the property lines of the lot or parcel
from which the particulate matter is emanating.
includes Amendments as of June 1, 1999 Chapter 17.08 - 28
Odors, Toxics and Noxious Matter. Any existing or proposed use which produces odors,
toxic gases or noxious matter in such quantities as can or may be readily detectable at any
point outside the property lines of the premises and when such emissions are or may
become a public nuisance or hazard, the use shall be modified to prevent such releases.
Vibration. Any existing or proposed use which generates vibrations that can or may be
considered a nuisance or hazard on any adjacent property shall be cushioned or isolated
to prevent generation of such vibrations.
Glare, Any existing or proposed use that constitutes or may be considered a nuisance or
hazard on any adjacent property due to emitlance of excessive light or glare from
mechanical or chemical processes or from reflective materials used or stored on the site
shall be shielded or otherwise modified to prevent such emissions.
Heat, Radiation and Electromagnetic Disturbances. Any existing or proposed use that can
or may generate excessive heat, electrical disturbances or radioactive emissions that can
or may be considered hazardous or a nuisance shall be shielded, contained or otherwise
modified to prevent such generations, disturbances or emissions. (Ord. 95-16 § 2 (part))

Determination
(To be completed by the lead agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by
the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant
unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in
an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the eadier analysis as desc. dbed on a~ached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially
significant impact" or '"potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project cou!d na';e a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been anaiyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standaros, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that eadier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

BACKGROUND
An application was received on July 8, 1999 with a Design Review Committee (DRC) meeting
held on August 5, 1999. At the DRC meeting the Building and Fire Departments expressed
some concerns relative to the construction of the skateboard ramps and how they would comply
with Fire and Building codes and the anticipated occupancy loads associated with the use,
Once these issues were resolved, the project was scheduled for a Director's Hearing on
October 14, 1999. At the October 14th Directors Hearing, representatives from International
Rectifier, the Rancho California Business Park Association and an individual building owner
within the business park raised concerns with respect to the compatibility of this use with
existing and permitted uses within the vicinity of this project. As a consequence of the concerns
raised by these parties, the action taken at the Directors Hearing was that the item was to be
referred to the Planning Commission, pursuant to Section 17.03 of the Development Code. A
copy of the staff report, proposed Conditions of Approval and the minutes from the October 14th
Director's Hearing are attached for your review,
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is a request for approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit to permit the operation
of an indoor skateboard park. The applicant proposes to construct an indoor skateboarding
facility in an 21,346 square foot unit located within an existing building at 43300 Business Park
Drive.
The proposed hours of operation for the project are Monday through Thursday from 2:00 PM to
9:00 PM, Friday 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from
10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The number of employees needed for the operation ranges from 4 to 8.
The anticipated number of parking spaces needed for this use is 26 spaces, The center which
this proposed use is located within has 227 spaces.
ANALYSIS
The center in which this project is being proposed would appear to have ample parking for this
use with 26 spaces required and 227 being provided. In addition, the hours of operation and the
anticipated peak hours for the use generally would not conflict with other uses currently in the
vicinity.
Land Use ComDatibilitv Issues
The project site is located within a light industrial area with existing industrial uses currently in
operation. The zoning for the area allows a variety of manufacturing and warehousing activities
as permitted uses. Because this project deviates from the anticipated uses within this zone a
conditional use permit is required for this use.
The project site is across Business Park Ddve from International Recti~er (HEXFET) which
transports, stores and utilizes hazardous chemicals as part of its operations. Staff met with
representatives from International Rectifier just prior to the October 14th Directors Hearing. At
this meeting and at the hearing, their representatives expressed concerns with the compatibility
of the two uses and urged the City to deny this request. They outlined their concerns as: 1 )
safety concerns in the event of a natural disaster, or an accident involving trucks transporting
hazardous chemicals to and/or from their building; 2) concerns that the presence of this use
would jeopardize their ability to expand due to scrutiny from regulating agencies; 3) concerns of
\\TEM EC_FS I 01 \VOL l \DEPTS%PLANN ING\STAFFRPTX266pa99.pc.doc 2
traffic hazards generated by incompatible uses and the different traffic pattems associated with
the two different uses. A copy of their correspondence is being provided for your consideration.
Concerns were also raised by the Rancho California Business Park Association. The
Association also met with staff prior to the Director's Hearing. The Association indicated that
their board had already denied this applicant's application for Association approval. This denial
was based on a variety of concerns stemming from what they felt were land use incompatibility
issues which included unacceptable liability risks associated with having a use which attracts a
large number of children within an existing industrial area, and the effect that a recreational use
such as a skateboard park would have on properties' in the area ability to operate or expand
existing uses, and/or attract new quality industrial uses. Staff explained to the association that
CC & R's regulating uses were a private matter and could not be used by staff to either support
or deny this project.
The applicant and other proponents of the project have responded to these concerns by
pointing out that currently there are existing uses within the vicinity of the project which should
pose the same or similar concerns to International Recti~er and the Association. In the past,
two other similar uses within the vicinity of this project, a church and a day care, were approved
by the City with separate CUP applications (day care uses, however, are no longer permitted in
the Light Industrial (LI) zone). In addition, the property which the project is being proposed
adjoins the rear of the parcel in which City Hall is located. In addition, the applicant pointed out
that the building size requirements and the parking demands for this use dictates that this
project should be located within an industrial area where large buildings are available, rants are
low and sufficient parking is provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The project qualifies under CEQA for a Categorical Exemption under Section 15301 Existing
Facilities, Class 1 (b), because it is a minor alteration of an existing facility, involving negligible
expansion of use beyond that previously existing.
SUMMARWCONCLUSIONS
Significant issues have been raised relative to the compatibility of this use with the uses that
exist or that will ultimately be permitted in the vicinity of the proposed project. As a
consequence, staff has referred this item to the Planning Commission for determination. It is
recommended that the Planning Commission consider the testimony provided by both the
proponents and opponents of this application and evaluate the analysis contained within this
report. Findings for both approval and denial are being provided. In addition, if the Planning
Commission decides to approve the project, proposed Conditions of Approval are attached.
FINDINGS (for Approval)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development
Code. The project has been reviewed for consistency with these documents and Staff
has determined that the project as conditioned is consistent with the goals and policies
contained within the General Plan and the development standards contained in the
Development Code.
\\TEMEC_FSI01\VOLl\DEPTS~PLANNING~STAFFRPT~266pa99-pc-doc
3
The proposed conditional use as conditioned can be considered compatible with the
nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the
proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures,
because there a similar uses within the vicinity (a church and day care) and because the
proposed hours of operations do not conflict with the hours of operations for the light
industrial uses in the area. The use is proposed to be located in a portion of an existing
at 43300 Business Park Drive. The proposed project is located within an area of existing
industrial uses which also includes a church.
The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the project. Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that the project is
consistent with the standards of the Development Code.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the community. The project as conditioned is consistent with the
goals and policies contained within the General Plan and the development standards
contained in the Development Code. These documents were adopted by the City
Council to assure that projects are is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community. Compliance with these documents will assure this is
achieved.
FINDINGS (for Denial)
The proposed conditional use is not entirely consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code. The project has been reviewed for consistency with these
documents and Staff has determined that the project is not entirely consistent with the
goals and policies contained within the General Plan and the development standards
contained in the Development Code.
The proposed conditional use is not considered to be compatible with the nature,
condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed
use could be adversely affected by the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The use
is proposed to be located in a portion of an existing at 43300 Business Park Drive. The
proposed project is located within an area of existing industrial uses, some of which
utilized and transport hazardous chemicals.
The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the project. Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that the project is
consistent with the standards of the Development Code with respect to the
characteristics of the building and the lot it is located on.
The nature of the proposed conditional use could potentially expose people to uses
within the vicinity of this project that could be detrimental to their health, safety and
general welfare. The project is not entirely consistent with the goals and policies
contained within the General Plan and the development standards contained in the
Development Code. These documents were adopted by the City Council to assure that
projects are is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the
community. This project potentially would not be able to comply with these documents.

Application No. PA99-0266 (Minor Conditional Use Permit), hereby makes the following findings
as required in Chapter 17.04:
A. The proposed conditional use is not entirely consistent with the General Plan and
the Development Code. The project has been reviewed for consistency with these documents
and Staff has determined that the project is not entirely consistent with the goals and policies
contained within the General Plan and the development standards contained in the
Development Code.
B. The proposed conditional use is not considered to be compatible with the nature,
condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the proposed use
could be adversely affected by the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The use is proposed
to be located in a portion of an existing at 43300 Business Park Drive. The proposed project is
located within an area of existing industrial uses, some of which utilized and transport
hazardous chemicals.
\\TEM EC_FS 101 \VOL 1 \DEpTSXPLANNING~STAFFRPT~266pa99.pc.dcc

C. The site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the project. Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that the project is
consistent with the standards of the Development Code with respect to the characteristics of the
building and the lot it is located on.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use could potentially expose people to
uses within the vicinity of this project that could be detrimental to their health, safety and general
welfare. The project is not entirely consistent with the goals and policies contained within the
General Plan and the development standards contained in the Development Code. These
documents were adopted by the City Council to assure that projects are is not detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the community. This project potentially would not be able
to comply with these documents.

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a Categorical Exemption under Section 15301 Existing
Facilities, Class I (b), because it is a minor alteration of an existing facility, involving negligible
expansion of use beyond that previously existing.

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING
OF TIFF. CITY OF TE1V[ECULA
PLANNING DIRECTOR
OCTOBER 14, 1999
A regular meeting of the City of Temecula Planning Director was called to order on Thursday,
October 14, 1999 at 1:30 PM, at the City of Temecula Main Conference Room, 43200 Business
Park Drive, Temecula, California. Senior Planner Matthew Fagan presiding.
Also present were Project Planner John DeGange and Minute Clerk Cathy Davis.
Senior Planner Matthew Fagan opened the public bearing for items not listed on the agenda at
1:32 PM. There were no requests to speak.
1. Planning Application No. PA99-0266 (Minor Conditional Use Permit)
Project Planner John DeGange presented the staff report for planning Application PA99-
0266 to operate an indoor skateboard park located at 43300 Business Park Drive.
Senior Planner Matthew Fagan opened the public hearing at 1:34 PM.
Applicant Ron Korman, 40137 Patchwork Lane, Muftieta, CA, spoke in favor of the project. He
feels his project would be good for the youth of the community. There is already a church with a
youth group in the same center. This is a $300,000 project with $170,000 of tenant improvements.
It will be one of the top skate parks in the country. There are 160 skate parks in America and 140
of them are in light industrial zones. Any problems with International Recti~er should have been
raised when the church was allowed to come in. This location has good parking and their business
is primarily at 5:00 PM and will not cause any additional traffic.
Dan Dietken, Intemational Recti~er, 41915 Business Park Drive, Temecula, CA 92590 spoke in
opposition to the project. He is concerned because International Recti~er must account for all
individual within 1,000 feet of their facility for safety reasons. He is concerned of a safety risk to
the children using the skateboard park. He is also concerned with traffic. He also expressed the
concern that International Recti~er has future plans for expansion, which may be affected by the
skateboard park. He feels that the site is not an appropriate place for the skateboard park.
Dave Beckman, 28835 Single Oak Drive, Temecula. CA 92590 spoke in opposition to the project.
He is concerned with the increased traffic and an increase in night-time activity. He feels that it is
not an acceptable use for the location and it is an area not conducive to having children around.
Dennis M. Burke, Rancho California Business Park Association, 6670 Alessandro Boulevard, Suite
B, Riverside, CA 92506 spoke in opposition to the project. He stated the Association had rejected
this use. There is an unacceptable liability risk and it will interfere with the ability to attract quality
tenants or business for the vacant land within the industrial park. He feels the project's location is
not appropriate for the use.

I
Mark IllsIcy, 41820 Rio Grande, Temecula, CA 92591 spoke in favor of the project. He told his
· children about the project and they were very excited. There is nowhere for the kids to go to skate
right now. He was also concerned iflmemational Rectifier is so dangerous then need to look at the
risk as a community. He also wanted to know if this location is not appropriate, where do you put
skate parks.
David G. Bailey, 38300 Mesa, Temecula, CA 92590 spoke in favor of the project. He is a Police
Officer for the City of Temecula and he sees the damage skateboarders cause to the community. He
stateed the skateboards need someplace to go and that we are limiting their skateboarding to the
streets.
Applicant Ron Korman, 40137 Patchwork Lane, Murrieta, CA concurred with the Conditions of
Approval.
Senior Planner Matthew Fagan closed the public hearing at 2:05 PM.
Senior Planner Matthew Fagan referred Planning Application PA99-0266 to the Planning
Commission for their consideration. The project will be re-noticed for a planning Commission
Hearing.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:10 P.M.

Dear Sir,
It has been brought to our attention that there is a proposed indoor skateboard
facility looking to take occupancy of the office/warehouse space next door to our place of
business at 43300 Business Park Drive in Temeculm
As per the telephone conversation between you and our office, this letter is
sent in hopes of voicing my concerns and possibly stopping this ~'om taking place.
With expensive manufacturing machinery, inventory, and computer systems on the premises,
our concern is security and the possibility of vandalism. Our business hours are Monday
through Friday 7:00 a. nt to 5:00 p.m., leaving our business unattended until the closing hours
of the proposed skate park on weekdays and all day Saturdays and Sundays.
Another concern is parking and traffic. Our business ships and receives continuously
throughout the day and it is mandatory that the semi trucks have access to our building. With
the existing Church traffic in the complex being very heavy at times, combining this with the
additional traffic the skatepark will generate is more than the complex was designed for.
Also with this added traffic comes safety issues, large trucks and forklifts in the best of
circumstances don't mix with children and open the door for possible law suites.
Along with noise.tr~h and loitering as possible problems we feel that the proposed use of
this light manufacturing space is unreasonable and not a good fit for this complex.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my lener regarding the proposed skatebeard park at
43300 Business Park Drive. We have recendy met with our property. manager, various tenants of
our office complex and the gentleman proposing the buildout of a skateboard park next door to
our office and warehouse. We have serious reservations regarding this project and we would like
to detail just a few of them below, prior to the public hearing which we are told is imnunent.
· Noise:
We feel the close pmximi.ty of this proposed park to our offices. meeting and conference rooms
will greatly impact our ability to conduct business in a respectful and quiet fashion.
· Business Reputation:
Our customers visit us daily, the.v include Presidents. Chairman of the boards and CEO's of
national banking iustitutlous in the 2 billion dollar range and higher.
· Security and Safety:
Our nighttime and weekend secretarial staff have voiced grave concerns regarding potential
altercations and assaults in the proposed shared parking areas.
· Parking:
Currently twice a week our business neighbet the Temeeula Valley Chi'istian Center puts on
wonderrid youth night services. Our parking lot fills to overflowing by 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
How will the skateboard park affect our ability to park receive customers and deliveries?
· Litter:
We have read the additional terms proposed by the property manager and we do not feel it is as
comprehensive as should be reqm/~l to keep our area clean.
· Chemical, Biological or Hazardous Material Evacuation:
Within our business complex are companies that store and sell eve~' disease known to man. as
well as reputed biological warfare agents. Additionally, we have manufactunng conglomerates
that receive hazardous material shipments daily. Have the evacuation and treatment plans of
these campames been properly evuluated as to their effectiveness regarding "200 a day or more"
skateboarding youths directly across the street ? or downwind from their storage facility?
· Current Zoning Regulations:
This industrial complex is just thaL a light industrial office park not avenue for parents to have
their youths ~bv..sat as the orgamzer of this park has mentioned. I am sure there are locations far
bener suited for this .type of recreation and far safer for all concerned than 43000 Business Park.
In closing let me say that I do not feel this proposed skateboard park is in the best interest of the
community. the business communi.ty and their ability to conduct business. I also do not feel the
safety of the children has been properly considered. Let me add that should this park at this
location. become a possibility. I will do all that is in my power to rally public opinion against it.

Dear Mr. DeGang¢,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Joe Saputo, I am the President and CEO of
BanTel Corporation. I have only returned late last night from two weeks in
Europe. In my absence, my second in command, Mr. Chet Gorman was instructed
by me to record our disapproval of the skate board park slated for our light
industrial and manufacturing office complex.
On the 2"d of this month Mr. Gotman sent you a letter detailing our objections.
The afternoon of the 2"d Mr. Corman received a threatening call from the building
owner, a Mr. Paul Akian. Mr Akian unequivocally told Mr. Gorman that if he did
not retract our letter of objection immediately that our lease would not be renewed
this coming December and we would be forced to relocate our offices. Not
wanting to be responsible for our eviction, Mr. Go/man retracted his letter of
objection. This is expressly against my wishes. I am emphatically opposed to this
lunacy of locating a skate board park in this area.
The original letter of objection sent to you should be placed in the official record
as to our feelings regarding this issue. Mr. Gorman will be present at the hearings
to state our feelings in person. Let me also state for the record that threats and
underhanded business practices will not sway us from our decision. If objecting
to this skate board park and stating the facts as we see them should cause us to
lose our lease, so be it! The safety of the children and our employees comes first.

Ms. Debbie Ubnoske
Planning Manager, City of Temecula.
43174 Business Park Drive
Temecula, CA 92590
Dear Ms. Ubnoske
It has come to InternatiOnal Recti~er's attention that the City of Temecula is considering
an application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow property located adjacent to our
manufacturing facility in the Rancho California Business Park to be used for a children' s
skateboard park. We urge the City of Temecula to deny this Conditional Use Permit
application because the proposed use of the property for a skateboard park is not
compatible with the adjacent industrial park uses.
Industrial parks were established to separate manufacturing operations from
neighborhoods and are generally considered incompatible with recreational activities
such as a skateboard park. As you are aware, the property proposed for a skateboard park
is located in a busy industrial park where industries conduct manufacturing operations
use heavy equipment, generate noise levels appropriate for an industrial park, and use and
store hazardous chemicals and gases. Although International Rectifier has operated
internationally for over 50 years without a safety or environmental incident, we are aware
that even the safest of manufacturing and industrial operations could experience an
accident or unplanned release under certain circumstances, such as a natural disaster
scenario~ The well established noise control procedures and safety systems used in
industrial parks are not intended for the protection of children in adjacent playgrounds.
Situating a skateboard park in the vicinity of industrial operations poses unnecessary and
inappropriate risks to the youngsters who will use it and raises unnecessary liability
concerns for the adjacent industrial businesses.
The City should also consider that locating a recreational activity intended for children in
a busy industrial park will also have an adverse impact on the development of industrial
uses in this area. International Rectifier currently employs over 600 people in the
Iemecula area, and our site in the Business Park offers opportunities to expand
operations and create more jobs. Approval of the skateboard park would create serious
roadblocks to our possible future expansion in Temecula, because expansions that are
safe and appropriate in an industrial area would receive greater scrutiny in an area used
for child recreation purposes. This adverse impact on development would have a chilling
effect on the development plans of other businesses in the area as well as International
Rectifier.

Debbie Ubnoske
Finally, the location of the skateboard park in the proposed area would be incompatible
with the traffic paRems in the Business Park. The roads within the Business Park are
currently heavily used by large trucks. For example, more than 40 trucks per day use
Business Park roads to service International Rectifier alone. The heavy traffic by these
large industrial vehicles is incompatible with use by inexperienced young drivers and
children who would be in the area on foot, bicycles, and skateboards. Moreover, we
believe that adding the ti'affic associated with a recreational attraction to the
Business Park's roads would have a detrimental impact on our already heavy traffic
patterns. In this regard, we are concerned that the City of Temecula has not adequately
studied the environmental impacts of this additional traffic, and we believe the City
should do so before making a determination on the Conditional Use Permit.
The City of Temecula should also consider the economic consequences of permitting this
incompatible use in the Business Park. The current industrial occupants of the Business
Park contribute greatly to Temecula's economy. International Rectifier alone has a $29
million payroll, and last year paid $1.6 million in local taxes and generated business for
dozens of local businesses. As mentioned above, the addition ofa children's attraction to
this area would both chill further expansion, encourage companies currently operating in
the Business Park to consider relocating, and discourage other companies from moving
into the area. We believe the Business Park's contribution to Temecula's quality of life
and economy far outweigh any hoped-for benefit from a skateboard park that would be
far better situated outside the Business Park.
In summary, we urge the City of Temecula to deny the application for a Conditional Use
Permit because the City cannot reasonably find that the proposed use will not adversely
affect existing uses in the Business Park. Although International Rectifier supports the
children in this area through many activities (including our Annual Scholarship Program,
Summer Intern Program, Toys for Tots, United Way, etc.), we think it is important to
prov;de recreational opportunities for children in areas that provide an appropriate and
safe environment, without adding liability risk for the companies in the Business Park.
Thank you for the opportunity to address this serious issue.

Re:
Subject:
Application for a Conditional Use Permit for Skateboard Park
Objections of Rancho California Business Park Association
The undersigned represents the Rancho California Business Park Association ("Association*').
The site for the proposed skateboard park is located within the Association. The Association
has already denied the property owner's application for Association approval for the skateboard park.
For the reasons set forth below. the Association opposes issuance of a conditional use permit for the
proposed skateboard park and requests that the City deny the same.
1. Unacceptable Liability Risk
It is inevitable that a skateboard park will attract children on skateboards. Those children will
be riding their skateboards to and from and around the facility. Every nearby curb, driveway,
sidewalk, planter or bump in the road will be incorporated into a skateboard trick or jump. Children
on skateboards will be darting in and out of the street (Business Park Drive) and surrounding
properties during the daytime and evening.
Business Park Drive is already a heavily used avenue for trucks and large commercial vehicles.
Trucks will be making deliveries and pickups for the existing industrial uses within the project. The
industrial use across the street from the proposed skateboard ranch site informs the Association that up
to 40 trucks a day visit its site. That is at least 80 truck trips past the skateboard park from that one
use alone.
Attracting children on skateboards to such a heavily used street is a recipe for disaster. It will
only be a matter of time before a child darts out in front of and is hit by a truck or car. A more likely
scenario is a near miss, where a truck or car swerves into opposing traffic to avoid striking a child.
00130123 WPD
Although the child's life may be ~pared, the victims of the resulting traffic accident may not be as
lucky. In the event one or more of the vehicles involved in such an incident have a payload of
chemicals or other volatile material, a spill or rupture could threaten everyone in the vicinity. If so,
there will be no safe or sane way to evacuate the children from the skateboard park.
2. Chilling Effect on Existing and Proposed Uses
A more subtle, but important, side effect of allowing the skateboard park would be the
resulting chilling effect on the ability to operate existing uses, expand existing uses and attract new,
high quality light industry.
The presence of large numbers of children in the industrial park will impose significant and
additional burdens upon the ability to operate an industrial use within the industrial park. Children are
highly sensitive recepturs. As a result, emissions standards for uses within the park will tighten,
thereby increasing the cost of operation. The presence of children nearby will result in increased
internal and external mitigation measures from a host of permitting agencies, including the City, once
again increasing the cost of operation. Finally, the increased liability risk discussed above will drive
away otherwise attractive uses.
The Association has already seen evidence of this chilling effect. Owners have called the
Association to complain that allowing the skateboard park will limit their ability to develop their
property and/or attract tenants. Other owners have reported to the Association that the presence of the
skateboard park will limit their ability to expand existing uses because of the increased regulatory
burden. In short, the light, clean industry and resulting employment so desired by the City and its
residents will turn away because of the demonstrated problems and difficulties of attempting to operate
a business in close proximity to a use heavily visited by children.
3. Conclusion
The proposed use is simply incompatible with the existing uses. Under no set of circumstances
does it make sense to insert a magnet for unaccompanied and unsupervised children into the heart of
an industrial park. No amount of mitigation measures can reduce the liability risk to an acceptable
level. Allowing the skateboard park to be installed in the proposed location will drive away existing
and potential business and industrial uses. The resulting increase in liability and loss of business if the
skateboard park is allowed will be a net loss for the city and its residents.
