SUBJECT:
Planning Commis 'on
Debbie Ubnosku,~Pl~g Manager
December 15, 1999
Criteria for Determining Public Convenience or Necessity Finding for
Alcohol Serving Uses
Prepared by: Matthew Fagan, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:
The Community Development Department - Planning
Division recommends the Planning Commission:
REVIEW the City-Wide Alcoholic Beverage License Map (prepared based
on information provided by Alcoholic Beverage Control, dated October 4,
1999); and
m
PROVIDE DIRECTION to staff on how to establish boundaries within the
City for determining areas of potential over-concentration of existing
alcohol licenses for purposes of making Public Convenience or Necessity
Findings for future alcohol licenses.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission has requested that staff revisit the existing Public
Convenience or Necessity (PCN) Finding Criteria. The Commission has expressed their
concern with the degree of subjectivity required for the PCN determination. In
addition, the Commission has expressed concerns regarding the City-wide over-
concentration of licenses as determined by California Alcoholic Beverage Control and
the specific areas in the City where the over-concentration is occurring.
ANALYSIS
In an effort to clearly illustrate the location of existing facilities which serve alcohol
within the City, staff contacted California Alcoholic Beverage Control and acquired a
list of all off-sale (stores, etc.) and on-sale (restaurants, bars, fraternal clubs) within
the City (listed by Census Tract). This list is included as Attachment No. 1. Staff then
plotted these licenses on the City-Wide Alcoholic Beverage License Map (to be
provided under separate cover).
\\TEMEC_FSI01\VOLI\DEPTSXPLANN1NG~STAFFRPTXPCN CR1TEKIA.doc
From a cursory inspection of this map, it becomes apparent that the existing licenses
are concentrated in the commercial centers within the City along the following streets:
· Old Town
· South Old Town Front Street (Southside Specific Plan Area)
· Jefferson Avenue
· Ynez Road
· Winchester Road/Mall
· Rancho California Road
· SR79 South
Staff is requesting the Planning Commission review the City-Wide Alcoholic Beverage
License Map and provide direction on how to establish boundaries within the City for
determining areas of potential over-concentration of existing alcohol licenses for
purposes of making Public Convenience or Necessity Findings for future alcohol
licenses.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This proposal involves the design, construction and operation of a 12,825 square foot Saturn
automobile dealership on 2.61 acres located on the East Side of Ynez Road, approximately 1,200
feet south of Solana Way, within the Temecula Auto Mall. The dealership includes new and used
automobile sales and repair.
The project meets or exceeds all of the standards called for in the Development Code and Design
Guidelines for auto dealerships within the Service Commercial zone.
BACKGROUND
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant on June 10, 1999. The formal application was
submitted on September 17, 1999, and the Design Review Committee subsequently reviewed the
plans on October 14, 1999. The project was deemed complete on November 18, 1999.
ANALYSIS
Site Design
The project site is an irregular, somewhat pie-shaped parcel with a large "notch" out of its northeast
corner. The building sits back from the street frontage in the center of the widest portion of the lot.
Vehicle display pads, parking spaces and circulation lanes occupy the area between the building
and the street, and customer and employee parking areas, circulation drives and vehicle inventory
areas are distributed around both sides of the building, as well as on the narrow rear extremity of
the property. There is a single access point off Ynez Road, and secondary access is provided off
an emergency access easement which serves the rear of this site as well as the other properties
that front on Ynez Road between Solana Way and Ynez Court.
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\DeptS\PLANNING\GdffinS\378PA99.SatUrn Staff Report.doc

The main portion of the property sits at a somewhat higher elevation than the abutting automobile
dealership to the north, and at-grade with the restaurant property to the south. Both of these
adjoining properties are configured with parking areas and landscaping along their common
boundaries with the Saturn site. The narrow, rear extension of the property, which is intended for
vehicle storage, sits below the grade of surrounding areas, which includes vehicle storage on the
abutting auto dealership to the north, carports and a circulation drive on the apartment property to
the east, and a fenced play area at the day care center to the south. The most generous grade
separations and landscaped setbacks adjoin the more sensitive apartment and day care uses to
the east and south.
The featured vehicle display areas and pads (as opposed to vehicle display aisles) are rather
uniquely distributed on the Saturn site. There are two display pads on either side of the main entry,
two additional pads flanked with landscaping on either side of the entry drive at the second
display/parking aisle, as well as additional featured displays and a freestanding display pad
encircled with decorative paving and landscaping just outside the main entrance to the building.
Two additional vehicles are displayed within the building, and one of two large canopies at the front
elevation is enclosed with glass to provide a special area for displaying and delivering a new
vehicle to a customer.
The vehicular entrance to the service and repair bays, which are fully contained within the building,
is somewhat offset from the main entry ddve. In this fashion the view of the service entry from the
street is to some degree interrupted and enhanced with intervening display pads and landscaping.
Unloading of vehicles is required by Code to be accommodated on-site rather than on the street.
The site plan shows this activity will occur in the circulation aisle on the north side of the building.
Trash will be accommodated within an enclosure located at the northeasterly corner of the main
portion of the property.
We believe the site design is well done, particularly considering the difficult configuration of
the parcel.
Architecture
The architecture is characterized by simple, rectangular forms at varying wall planes, three different
building heights, and using two main materials. The lowest portions of the building are two large
canopy structures - one open and one enclosed with glass - at the front of the building. These
structures as well as the somewhat higher main portion of the building feature heavily textured
stucco material with ~" x %" horizontal reveals or grooves regularly spaced at two foot intervals,
all over a 16-inch high base course of smooth, center-scored concrete block. The tallest portion of
the structure is situated over the service and repair bays at the northeast corner, and is constructed
of split-faced concrete block interrupted by several 16-inch wide horizontal courses of smooth
center-scored block, including a 16-inch high base to match the balance of the building, and a 16-
inch high cornice element consisting of two offset blocks at the top edge.
The primary building articulation and interest is therefore provided by the different wall and roof
planes created by the three major rectangular forms of the structure. Additional articulation,
although perhaps more functional than architectural, is provided by the building openings, including
the glazing at the building entry and vehicle delivery canopy and sales area, plus the four major
vehicular service doors at the front, northerly and rear elevations. The service doors at the front
elevation and the forward portion of the northerly elevation contain doors with divided lights of clear
glass, whereas the service doors at the rear of the structure and the rear portion of the northerly
elevation are primarily made of steel with one horizontal row of windows.
\\TEMEC_FS101~VOL1\DeptS\PLANNING\Gdffins\378PA99,SatUrn Staff Report.doc
3
The only accent features beyond the stucco reveals, smooth courses of center-scored block, and
cornice element around the highest portion of the building, are the raised half-round accent bands
applied on all three sides of both canopies and over the main service entrance. These accent
bands are colored red,
The primary color for the building, including both the stucco and split-faced concrete block surfaces
and the large service doors, is off-whita. The smooth concrete block used as a base to the entire
building and in horizontal courses and a cornice element as a contrast to the split-faced block on
the highest, northeasterly portion of the structure will be left its natural light grey color. Solid metal
pedestrian doors used at the northerly and easterly elevation will be colored a darker grey. All
glazing will be clear glass in clear (light grey) anodized aluminum frames.
Staff is generally supportive of the project design. We believe the forms and lines of the building
in combination with the materials and textures are simple and functional yet well proportioned and
convey a sense of substance and quality. The sole exception to this assessment is the raised half-
round red accent bands used on the front of the building at the canopies and service entrance.
These elements appear to be "applied" rather than an integral element of the design and seemingly
bear no relation to the balance of the building architecture.
In our judgment, signage and perhaps the tasteful use of a red accent stdpe that is related to and
complements the overall building design, will adequately convey to prospective automobile buyers
that this is a Satum dealership. Therefore, we have included a recommended Condition of Approval
which eliminates the raised half-round elements and invites the applicant to submit a proposal to
incorporate a red stripe into the design scheme subject to review and approval by staff.
LandscaDincl
The Development Code would normally require projects in the SC zone to provide a minimum 20%
landscape planting. In the case of automobile dealers, however, the Code exempts vehicle display
and storage areas from being landscaped internally. On the other hand, auto dealers are subject
to special standards which require, among other things, a greater depth of landscaping at the street
frontage and adjacent to residential uses. In the present instance, Saturn provides almost 18% total
landscaping, and meets or exceeds all of the special Code requirements. They also meet the
standard requirements for perimeter landscaping adjacent to non-sensitive uses.
For instance, the Code requires a minimum 12-foot depth of landscaping between the frontage
display aisle and the back of sidewalk. The frontage landscaping for Saturn averages almost 21
feet in depth. The Code further requires a minimum 10-foot depth of landscaping adjacent to
residential uses. The total depth of landscaping for Saturn abutting the apartments to the rear is
16 feet with an additional 5 feet of landscaping on the inboard side of the emergency access ddve
(including the drive, the plan shows a total setback of 45 feet between the vehicle inventory area
and the apartment property line). The total depth of landscaping abutting the day care facility is
almost 21 feet, with a total setback of 50 feet.
The proposal also includes significant areas of landscape planting on both sides of the entry ddve
at the second display/parking aisle, and at the base of the building around the service entrance.
Additional landscaping is provided at selected locations at the north and south elevations, and in
and around the display areas and pads adjacent to the main entrance to the building, to include
both in~ground planters and some portable containers. All of the featured display areas will also be
surfaced with enhanced paving. All in all, the landscaping program should be considered fairly lush
for an automobile dealership.

The selection, sizing and placement of plant materials has been found by the Landscape Architect
to be consistent with City requirements.
Statement of Operations
The facility will employ from 20-25 employees, with usually no more than 15 employees on-site at
any one time. Sales hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. Service hours will be 7:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with no repair
occurring on Sundays. Certain operational parameters and restrictions, including hours, vehicle
parking and storage, loading, and so on have been included as recommended Conditions of
Approval for the Conditional Use Permit
Traffic and Public Facilities
The Public Works Department has reviewed the traffic report for the project and determined that
the trips generated by this proposal will not exceed the trips anticipated by the Circulation Element
for this site. The project's Floor Area Ratio (FAR) falls well below the range of the average building
intensity anticipated for this area under the traffic and public facilities analysis for the General Plan.
The applicant will be required to construct a raised landscaped median on Ynez Road and also pay
traffic and development impact fees as conditions of approval in order to address impacts
associated with the traffic or other demands on public facilities occesioned by the project.
Please see attached for a copy of the Conclusions/Mitigation section from the consolidated Traffic
Analysis done for this project as well as the two automobile dealerships directly to the north
(Carriage Motors and Paradise Chevrolet). The Analysis reflects that the project will not effect the
existing Level of Service (LOS) at surrounding intersections.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
It is anticipated that a Notice of Exemption will be filed for Planning Application No. PA99-0378 per
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061 and 15332. It is found
pursuant to Section 15061 that the project is exempt as a categorical exemption pursuant to Section
15332, and that the application of that exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth
in Section 15300.2.
Section 15332 applies to in-fill development projects on sites that are less than five (5) acres and
substantially surrounded by urban uses; that are consistent with the applicable general plan
designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning; that have no
value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and that can be adequately served
by all required utilities and public services.
The Satum of Temecula proposal meets all of the cdteda for in-fill development, and therefore the
project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Sections 15061 and 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the SC Service Commercial land use designation and zone applicable
to the property in the Temecula General Plan and Development Code. Upon approval of the
Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit as conditioned, the project will meet all of the
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\Depta\PLANNING\GriffinS\378PA99.SatUrn Staff Reportdoc
5
standards and guidelines prescribed for Service Commercial development in the Development
Code and Design Guidelines.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project has been determined by staff to be consistent with applicable City policies, standards
and guidelines, and compatible with and sensitive to the nature and quality of surrounding uses and
development, including the apartments to the east and the day care facility to the south, We are
therefore recommending approval of PA99-0378 based on the findings and subject to the
conditions contained in the attached Resolution,

CONCLUSIONS/MITIGATION
The project is calculated to significantly impact the already poorly operating intersection
of Ynez Road/Winchester Road during the weekday PM and Saturday peak hours
Several access and operational measures are recommended, however due to the poor
operating conditions and limited availability of addition capacity at Ynez Road/
W~nchester Road, no mitigation for at this intersection is feasible. Instead, the project
should contribute a fair share into a fund to be used for general improvements in the
area.
1)
Modify site plan with the following recommendations:
a) The only recommended change on the west side of Ynez Road is the
relocation of the Rancho Ford Lincoln Mercury driveway approximately
150 feet to the north to align with the Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealership
driveway.
b)
Relocate the Chevrolet/Cadillac driveway approximately 35 feet to the
south to allow better access for both the Chevrolet/Cadillac dealership and
the main driveway for the ChevroletJBuicb'GEO dealership on the west
side of Ynez Road.
c)
Relocate the Pontiac/BuickJGMC dealership driveway approximately 60
feet to the north to allow better access for both the PontiadBuick/GMC
dealership and the Rancho Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership driveway on
the west side of Ynez Road.
d)
It is recommended that when the Saturn dealership is developed, the
driveway for this individual site be positioned close to the southern edge of
the property (20 feet to 50 feet), to create the greatest distance between
this driveway and the PontiadBuick/GMC driveway to the north.
2)
Provide a 150 foot long southbound Jeff-turn lane at the two northern most
driveways along Ynez Road.
3) Construct/modify the raised median on Ynez Road along the project frontage.
4)
Restrict the three driveways along Ynez Road to right-turns outbound, by the
raised median and signage.
5) Restrict the Saturn driveway along Ynez Road to right-in and right-out only.
6) Provide an on-site parking supply which meets the City code.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This proposal involves the design, construction and operation of a 137-room, 59,950 square foot,
3-story Holiday Inn Express hotel on 3.37 acres located on the east side of Jefferson Avenue,
approximately 1,000 feet north of Rancho California Road. The project site is a flag-shaped lot that
has the bulk of the property sitting back from the street frontage, adjoining the I-15 Freeway, with
a driveway extending westerly between two vacant parcels to Jefferson Avenue. The driveway is
intended as a common access point to serve the Holiday Inn as well as surrounding properties.
According to the applicant, the Holiday Inn Express is a high quality, limited-service, upper mid-
market franchise hotel. It is expected to serve both the travelling public as well as the longer-term
visitor. It features an intedor-corddor design, larger public areas and hallways, several larger suites
for families, an extended (continental) breakfast / leisure room, a gym, guest laundry facilities, a
small business center (each room will also have high speed internet access), a meeting room, a
swimming pool, and a separate, large exterior patio. Being limited-service, it does not feature a
restaurant or a lounge.
The project meets or exceeds all of the basic standards called for in the Development Code for
Highway Tourist commercial development with the exception of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The
target FAR for this zone is 0.30, whereas the proposed FAR is 0,41 .The Planning Commission may
grant an increase in FAR beyond the 0.30 target, up to a maximum FAR of 1,0, based on a
determination of the extent to which the project provides exceptional community or public benefits
or aspects consistent with at least one of three incentive categories outlined in the Development
Code. This issue is discussed later in this report under "FAR Incentives."

BACKGROUND
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant on July 1, 1999. The formal application was
submitted on September 1, 1999, and the Design Review Committee subsequently reviewed the
plans on September 23, 1999. The project was deemed complete on November 17, 1999.
ANALYSIS
Site Desicln
The 3-story, L-shaped building is situated in a north-south direction on the central portion of the
site, between the 1-15 Freeway and two vacant parcels fronting Jefferson Avenue. A swimming pool
adjoins the west side of the building, and a large open patio occupies the inside portion of the "L"
on the east side of the building. Circulation aisles, parking spaces and landscaping encircle the
building and occupy the balance of the property. A canopied arrival point and the lobby entrance
are located at the south end of the structure, directly off the main entry drive. The main vehicular
access point off Jefferson Avenue is defined by special entry features, a landscaped median, and
perimeter landscaping on both sides of the full length of the drive.
The hotel would have right/left-in, right-out only access off Jefferson from the main entry drive, as
well as access to a signalized intersection off another private drive to the north that aligns with Del
Rio Road on the opposite side of Jefferson Avenue. The ultimate plan shows an additional right-in,
right-out only access point to the south. This series of private drives is intended to eventually serve
all seven parcels comprising this Highway Tourist district. With the exception of the Holiday Inn
proposal and the previously approved but yet to constructed Rosa's Caf~ abutting the northwest
portion of the hotel property, none of the other five vacant parcels within this district have approved
plans.
Loading activity will mainly consist of small vans rather than larger trucks and therefore will be
accommodated at one location on the easterly side of the building, and also under the canopied
main entrance. Trash will be accommodated within an enclosure at the far north end of the
property.
Architecture
As noted above, the building is a 45-foot high, 3-story, L-shaped structure. The main lobby
entrance and most heavily articulated portion of the structure is at the southwest corner of the
building. This portion of the structure features three changes in wall plane, hipped and gabled roof
elements and column features surrounding large arched windows, as well as a large arched canopy
extending out over the vehicular arrival point. The main structure is fully roofed with flat concrete
roof tiles, whereas the canopy has a raised rib barrel roof colored to match. There will be no
exposed roof equipment or views of flat, unadorned roof surfaces. All of the roof eaves, column and
canopy elements feature an architectural cornice detail as well.
The gabled roof and column elements featured at the main entrance are duplicated at two locations
each along the length of the westerly and easterly building elevations. These are significant,
substantial elements with two changes in wall plane as well as an arched third story window to
simulate the more elaborate window treatment at the main entry. In addition to these featured
elements of the building, a raised horizontal wainscot band is provided to create a base to the
building between the first and higher levels, and the area extending between the first and third
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\Depts\PLANNING\GdffinS\345PA99.HoIiday Inn Staff Report.doc
3
levels at a width equal to the outer edges of the windows is recessed six inches to provide
additional vertical articulation. The windows at the first level, which are essentially flush with the
surface of the wall, are enhanced at their top edge with raised arched elements.
Of particular concem to staff has been the proposal to provide individual air conditioning units for
each of the rooms. This is apparently a more effective, as well more economical way, to provide
individualized air conditioning to each room, but it presents a design challenge in treating the
"exposed" units below each window. In this instance, the units will be flush with the exterior wall
surface of the building, with the bulk of the unit extending into the rooms themselves. They are also
using a finely Iouvered grille that will be painted to match and largely blend with the exterior wall
surfaces. Finally, a customized architectural metal grille will be placed over the functioning air
conditioning grille in order to help tie the units into the overall detailing of the building design.
The colors and materials for the project all exhibit muted earth tones. The main body of the building
above the first story and including the wainscot element will feature the lightest color, termed La
Habra, with the first story and column elements featuring a somewhat darker color called Villa. The
cornices and architectural air conditioning grilles will be painted white. The color of the roof tiles is
termed Weathered Term Cotta Gold, which is the same color that will be featured on the metal roof
of the canopy over main arrival point.
Landscaping
The Landscape Plan reflects 27% landscape planting, or 7% more than the 20% required by Code.
This figure excludes the "bardscape" elements consisting of the pool area, separate exterior patio
and the decorative pedestrian walks. Significant areas of landscape planting and decorative
hardscape are provided adjacent to the east and west sides of the building, and in and around the
canopied lobby entrance as well. The north, west and east perimeters of the main portion of the
property also feature significant landscape planting at least twice the minimum five (5) foot width
called for by the Code. The landscaping interior to the parking areas, consisting of aisle-end
planters, landscape fingers and a landscape strip provided in the northerly parking lot, also meet
or exceed City requirements.
Worthy of special note is the main vehicular access point and entry drive. Large landscape planters
with low decorative walls and special landscape planting are located on both sides of the
intersection with Jefferson Avenue. This entry point is further enhanced with decorative paving and
a landscaped median which extends some 130 feet up the length of the driveway. The boundades
of the drive also feature pedestrian walks and 5-foot wide landscaped easements on both sides
(the use of easements at these locations will allow the landscaping to also be incorporated into the
landscaping program of the adjacent vacant parcels when they develop). A 5-foot wide strip of
landscaping will also be provided on the far south side of the circulation drive opposite the hotel
structure.
The view of the project from the freeway at one of our major gateways is of particular concern to
staff. As alluded to above, the easterly boundary of the property adjoining the freeway right-of-way
has been provided with a landscape planter over 10 feet in width, which is more than twice what
the Code requires. This area has been proposed for, and further conditioned to provide dense
screen planting with higher vertical specimen tree clusters in order to soften and enhance this
boundary. There currently exists in the abutting freeway right-of-way several large trees and shrubs
which will provide an immediate effect as the on-site landscaping matures.
\\TEMEC_FS101%VOL1%Depts\PLANNING\Griffins\345PA99.HOliday Inn Staff Report.doc

Floor Area Ratio {FAR) Incentives
The Planning Commission may consider an increase in the FAR, from the target FAR of 0.30, up
to a maximum FAR of 1.0, based on the degree to which the project meets the City's performance
standards, and provided the project meets at least one of three incentive categories described in
Section 17.08.050 of the Development Code. The categories include: (1) uses which provide
outstanding employment, fiscal, social and economic benefits, (2) projects which exhibit exceptional
architectural and landscape design, and (3) projects which provide public facilities beyond the
norm.
In support of the request, the applicant has submitted information which identifies factors in all
three incentive categories (please see attached letter). The information can be summarized as
follows:
Employment, fiscal and economic
· The creation of 63 permanent jobs with an estimated average annual payroll of $560,000. The
majority of the employees would be hired locally, according to the applicant.
Estimated annual tax revenues to the City of Temecula of over $240,000, including $235,000
in transit occupancy taxes (TOT), $1,000 in sales taxes (Note: the City's share of the sales
taxes is about 13% of the $7,600 total amount mentioned in their letter), and $5,376 in property
taxes (Note: the City's share of the property taxes is about 6% of the $96,000 mentioned in
their letter).
· Estimated annual expenditures of $1.0 million by guests in local restaurants, shopping and
entertainment facilities.
· Estimated annual expenditures by the hotel of $178,000 for local support services and supplies.
Architectural and landscape design
One of the examples of exceptional architectural and landscape design listed in the
Development Code is "landscaped entry features." As described above, this proposal includes
a significant landscaped entry treatment involving corner entry features adjacent to Jefferson
Avenue, and a landscaped median extending nearly the full length of the main entry drive.
The applicant has also pointed out several ways in which they believe the project responds to
the City's performance standards. These include the use of creative entry treatments, variety
of window shapes, varying building shapes, the use of a variety of complementary colors and
materials, and so on.
Public facilities
One of the examples listed in the Development Code under the public facilities category is "the
provision of community meeting centers." The Holiday Inn will have a 500 square foot
conference room as well as over 1,000 square feet in the great room that will be available for
meetings. While perhaps not meeting the definition of a "meeting center", these facilities will
provide both business and non-business meeting space within the community, and will be made
available to non-profit service or charitable organizations at little or no cost, according to the
applicant.
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\DeptS\PLANNING\GdffinS\345PA99.HOliday Inn Staff ReporLdoc
5
The applicant also points out the quality and facilities offered by the hotel, the City's need for
such a hotel and the fact that the project will be responsible for the construction of a median
in Jefferson Avenue.
Based on these community benefits, staff believes the requested increase in FAR from 0.30 to 0.41
appears to be cleady supportable. Not only will the Holiday Inn create jobs and generate significant
revenues for the City and local businesses, but in our judgment, the project will also help support
the revitalization of Old Town Temecula, and hopefully spur additional quality development and
redevelopment along the Jefferson Avenue corridor. It will further provide attractive, convenient
accommodations for our guests and visitors,
Traffic and Public Facilities
The Public Works Department has reviewed the traffic report for the project and determined that
the trips generated by this proposal will not exceed the trips anticipated by the Circulation Element
for this site. The project's Floor Area Ratio (FAR) falls within the range of the average building
intensity anticipated under the original traffic and public facilities analysis for the General Plan. The
applicant will be required to construct a median and deceleration lane on Jefferson Avenue and
also pay traffic and development impact fees as conditions of approval in order to address impacts
associated with the traffic or other demands on public facilities occasioned by the project.
Please see attached for a copy of the Opening Year Conditions and Conclusions sections of the
focused Traffic Study done for the project. In essence the Study shows that with or without the
project, the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Rancho California Road will operate at LOS "D"
in the AM and LOS "F" in the PM.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
It is anticipated that a Notice of Exemption will be filed for Planning Application No. PA99-0345 per
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061 and 15332. It is found
pursuant to Section 15061that the project is exempt as a caategodcal exemption pursuant to Section
15332, and that the application of that exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth
in Section 15300.2.
Section 15332 applies to in-fill development projects on sites that are less than five (5) acres and
substantially surrounded by urban uses; that are consistent with the applicable general plan
designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning; that have no
value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and that can be adequately served
by all required utilities and public services.
The Holiday Inn proposal meets all of the criteria for in-fill development, and therefore the project
is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Sections 15061 and 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the HT Highway/Tourist commercial land use designation and zone
applicable to the property in the Temecula General Plan and Development Code. Upon approval
of the Development Plan as conditioned, the project will meet all of the standards and guidelines
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1\DeptS\PLANNING\GrfffinS\345PA99.HOliday Inn Staff Report.dec
6
prescribed for Highway/Tourist commercial development in the Development Code and Design
Guidelines.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project has been determined by staff to be consistent with applicable City policies, standards
and guidelines, and compatible with the nature and quality of surrounding development. Staff is
supporting the requested increase in the FAR (from 0.30 to 0.41) based on the project's fiscal,
economic and other benefits to the City and its residents, as well as its attractive design qualities
and features. We are therefore recommending conditional approval of PA99-0345 based on the
following findings.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
The proposal is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for (HT)
Highway/Tourist development in the City of Temecula General Plan, and the standards for
HT Highway/Tourist commercial development contained in the City's Development Code.
The site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the
type and intensity of development proposed. The project as conditioned is also consistent
with other applicable requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City-Wide Design Guidelines, and fire and building
codes.
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation, entry
features and other associated site improvements, is consistent with and intended to protect
the health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project has been
reviewed for, and as conditioned has been found to be consistent with, all applicable
policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will
be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and
welfare. Furthermore it has been found that the project provides fiscal, economic and other
community benefits and enhanced design features consistent with the FAR incentive
categories identified in the Development Code (TMC 17.08.050A2), which support the
requested increase in FAR from 0.30 to 0.41.
The design of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There is no
fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish, wildlife or
habitat off-site, The property is an in-fill site, surrounded by development and praviously
graded. The project will therefore not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on
wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by
reference.
Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission, in conditionally approving Planning
Application No. PA99-0345 (Development Plan) hereby makes the following findings as required
by Section 17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposal is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for
HT Highway Tourist development in the City of Temecula General Plan, and the standards for HT
Highway Tourist development contained in the City's Development Code. The site is therefore
properly planned and zoned and found to be physically suitable for the type and density of
development proposed. The project as conditioned is also consistent with other applicable
requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the CityWide Design Guidelines, and fire and building codes.
B. The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation,
entry features and other associated site improvements, is consistent with and intended to protect
the health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for
and as conditioned has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines,
\\TEMEC_FS101\VOL1~DeptS\PLANNING\GdffinS\345PA99,HOliday Inn Staff Report,doc
10
standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed and function
in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. Furthermore it has been found
that the project provides fiscal, economic and other community benefits and enhanced design
features consistent with the FAR incentive categories identified in the Development Code (TMC
17.08.050A2), which support the requested increase in FAR from 0.30 to 0.41.
C. The design of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, There
is no fish wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish wildlife or
habitat off-site. The property is an in-fill site, surrounded by development and previously graded.
The project will therefore not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife
resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. A Notice of Exemption has been adopted for
Planning Application No. PA99-0345 per the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15061 and 15332. These Sections allow exemptions for in-fill development projects that
meet certain prescribed criteria. The subject site complies with these criteria and therefore the
exemption can be applied to this project.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
conditionally approves Planning Application No. PA99-0345 (Development Plan) for the design,
construction and operation of a 59,950 square foot, 137-room Holiday Inn hotel on 3.37 acres
located on the east side of Jefferson Avenue, approximately 1,000 feet north of Rancho California
Road, and also identified as portions of Parcel 1, 2, 3 & 6 of Parcel Map 23882, subject to the
project specific conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning
Commission this 15th day of December, 1999.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re: PA 99-0345
The District does not normally recommend conditions for land divisions or other land use cases in
incorporated cities. The District also does not plan check city land use cases, or provide State Division of ReaI
Estate letters or other flood hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such cases
are normally limited to items as specific interest to the District inciuding District Master Drainage Plan
facilities, other regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or
extension of a master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In
addition, inrbrmarion of a genera/nature is provided. The District has not reviewed the proposed project in
detail and the following comments do not in any way constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of
the proposed project with respect to flood hazard, public health and safe,~/, or any other such issues.
PA 99-0345 is a proposal to ccnsa'uct a I37-room h, otet on 3.37 acres located northeast of Front Street and
Rancho California Road.
A small southwestern portion of the parcel is ~vithin the 100-year Zone AE floodplain limits for ,'v[urrieta
Creek as delineated on Panel No. 0607'42-0005B of the Flood insurance Rate Maps issued in conjunction with
the National Flood Insurance Program administered by the Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA).
The water surface elevation for the FEND, flow rate of 28,500 cfs is i008.00 at the upstream edge of the
property. A District flood study determined the base flood elevation for the master plan flow rate of 36,300
cfs to be 1011.76 at the upstream edge of the propera,,'. The City, should be aware that in [993 s:orm;:'atcr
flowed down Front Street and crossed this property, on its way to Mutt{eta Creek. The high-water mark during
the flood of January 1993 ~vas i010.19. All the elevations are based on 1929 NGVD.
Because of extreme hazard posed by Murrieta Creek, the City should consider not allowing development to
proceed until the u/t/mate flood control improvement can be constructed. ff the City.' chooses to allo,v
deveJopment to proceed. we recommend that the Ci~' require the applicant to pamcipate in a financing
me':hanism such as an assessment d/strict to ensure necessan:' improvements are constructed. [n addition.
Cit7 shoutd also condition the applicant to provide all studies, calculations, plans or other information ~,eeded
to meet FE>[A requirements. In this case. the new building should be floodproofed by constructing the
finished floor a minimum of I2 inches above the District's base flood elevation for 36.300 cfs, which is
1012.76.

Dear Mr. Griffin:
Hofidav Inn ExDress. Case Number PA99-0345,
VCL Construction, Apolicant
We have received the site plan for the above noted project scheduled for discussion at the recent
Development Review Committee meeting held September 23, 1999. Although the date of this
meeting has passed, we ask that the following comments be included among those considered as
final conditions of approval for this three-story, 137-room hotel project.
This project is proposed on propert,/that abuts I-15 right of way located near Rancho California
Road. We believe that an impact to our facilities may exist due to grading and possible slope
construction within the landscape area proposed along the eastedy project boundary. Plan
approval and encroachment permit issuance will be necessary if such impacts are in fact
proposed.
When available, prease forward copies of detailed site grading and drainage plans so that any
construction impacts to Interstate 15 right of way may be determined and appropriate
recommendations made.
We apologize for our delayed response and for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you

November 29, 1999
Re: PA 99-0345
The following letter has been prepared to help outline the benefits and amenities our
project has to offer the city and community. We understand that in order to increase the Floor
Area Ratio (FAR) certain requirements and amenities need to be provided. Section 17.08.050 of
the City of Temecula Development Code outlines the three factors that can be considered by the
Planning Commission in granting an increase in the FAR. These factors are:
1 .The project includes uses which provide outstanding and exceptional benefits to the city
with respect to the employment, fiscal, social, and economic needs of the community
2. The project provides exceptional architectural and landscapes design amenities which
reflect an attractive image and character for the city and
3. The project provides enhanced public facilities that are needed by the city, beyond
those required mitigation impact measures.
In order to address the first of the three considerations for approving an increase in FAR
several points have been outlined to demonstrate the benefits this project will bring to the City of
Temecula. Points 2 and 6 are critical to the developer and the investors of this project from a
hotel performance and investment cost stand-point.
1. JOB CREATION:
The 137-room project stands to create approximately 63 jobs with an anticipated average
payroll over 10 years of $558,000.00 annually within the City of Temecula. Should the
FAR not be approved and a smaller hotel be constructed the number of jobs would reduce
to approximately 48 and the payroll to $421,000.00. The net result would reduce payroll
by an estimated $1.37 million over a 10 year period.
If approved the hotel will generate a pavroll of $5.58 million over 10 vears with almost all
the emplovees being, hired from within the City of Temecula.
In addition over 100 construction-related jobs, either hired directly by the general
contractor of this project or through sub-contractors, would be created during the
estimated 6-month construction period of the hotel.
2. HIGH OUALITY UPPER MID-MARKET FRANCHISE:
Holiday Inn Express is a high quality tried and tested upper mid-market franchise. Its
strict development guidelines require a extended complimentary, breakfast / leisure room.
minimum 5 feet wide inside corridors, a swimming pool, guest laundry facilities. meeting
rooms, and enlarged public areas. A reduction in any of these design criteria will certainly
force the project to reduce the quality of its franchise to an economy brand such as
Travelodge or Days Inn.
The developers are not desirous of develooin~ a economv motel. however. it would not
serve the best interest of the Citv of Temecula since several economv motels alreadv exist
in the city.
3. INCREASED OCCUPANCY, SALES, AND PROPERTY TAXES:
A detailed market feasibility study for the Holiday Inn Express project has been
conducted. Based on the report there are considerable tax benefits to The City of
Temecula as a result of approving the 137-room project. Occupancy and average room
rate assumptions are summarized below and are detailed in the attached spread sheet.
The Holiday Inn Express based on its location, design, facilities. umenities. franchise
brand recognition and powerful reservation system was projected to achieve a first year
occupancy rate of 68.48 percent, with a stabilized occupancy of 73.60 percent in its third
year.
Average room rates were projected based on an actual average increase in room rates of
6.94 percent annually achieved by Temecula hotels over the past 6 years. The project wilI
achieve an average room rate of $74.19 in its first year and increases were conservatively
limited to 4 pement within years 2 and 3, and at only 2 percent thereafter.
In summary, an approval in the FAR variance will allow the following estimated 10 year
average in tax collection to the City of Temecula.
Transient Occupancy Taxes $235,000.00 annually "or" $2.35 million over 10 years
Sales Tax Collections
$ 7,600.00 annually "or" $76.6 thousand over 10 years
Property Tax collections $ 96,000.00 annually "or" $960 thousand over 10 years
A total of $3.38 million dollars over 10 vears in tax collections are estimated to be
generated for the City of Temecula.
4. SECONDARY NON-HOTEL REVENUES TO TEMECULA AREA
BUSINESSES:
The Holiday Inn Express is a limited-service hotel, limited in that it does not provide a
full service restaurant and lounge on site. This limited aspect allows hotel guests to share
their expendable dollars with local area restaurants, lounges, shopping and entertainment
facilities.
It is a well-known industry fact that the typical hotel guest spends approximately $20.00
to $30.00 in other non-hotel related activities each day of their stay.
Based on a stabilized occupancy of 73.60 percent, 36.804 rooms would be sold annually.
The average persons per room are estimated at an average of 1.4. for a total of 1,526
guests that would stay at the Holiday Inn Express annually.
The ~uests expendin~ an avera~,e of iust $20.00 per dav would equate to an estimated
$1.030.513.00 annualIv or $10.3 million over 10 vears in non-hotel related revenues to
local businesses in Temecula.
5. LOCAL AREA HOTEL SUPPORT RELATED BUSINESS:
In terms of local area support services, the hotel would launder its own linens and towels,
landscaping is generally contracted to a local maintenance companies strictly from an
expertise and cost benefit point of view. The hotel will also generate considerable supply
purchases from local markets be it breakfast supplies, soaps, tissue paper, other day to
day guest supplies, property maintenance and management needs.
It is estimated that the project will generate on an average over 10 years the following
revenues to local area companies:
Breakfast food supplies
$ 59,000.00 annually
Guest room / Cleaning supplies $ 69,000.00 annually
Maintenance / Printing /Misc.
$ 50.000.00 annually
Total $178,000.00 annually "or'1.78 million over 10years
6. DEVELOPERS LAND COST CONSTRAINTS:
Cost and a reasonable return on investment, as with any development, is a critical factor.
The cost of the land base of $1.4 million and the overall project development cost of $9.2
million has to be justified to the investors, providing them with reasonable return on
investment.
The type of facility and its franchise dictate the average room rates and the occupancy a
hotel would secure. For mid size hotels the land cost must be based on $10.000.00 per
room.
In trying to achieve a minimal FAR, the developers have purchased 3.4 Acres from
Cortez development at a reasonable market price of $9.40 per square foot.
The cost per room based on a smaller hotel is $13,662.00 far higher than is acceptable for
mid-priced hotel investors. The cost per room based on the 137-room project is
$10,0772.00 per room which is in line with investor requirements.
It must be noted that the applicants have not requested anv offsets a_,2ainst transient
occupancv taxes.
6. FISCAL SUMMARY:
There are significant financial benefits to the City of Temecula, its local businesses and
the surrounding community. Holiday Inn's are a proven high quality franchise that are
represented in most American cities and perform well above industry standards. The
proposed Holiday Inn Express revenues to the City of Temecula are realistic and
achievable. We estimate that over a 10 year period the City of Temecula, its residents and
local businesses will see a total of
$5,580,000.00 in payroll to local area residence
$3,380,000.00 in Transient Occupancy, Sales and Property tax Collections.
$10,300,000.00 in local non-hotel related business revenues.
$1,780,000.00 in local area support related business revenues.
The developers hieh investment will produce a modern high quality hotel that will
produce an estimated economic benefit to the City of Temecula over the next 10 vears of
$21.040.000.00.
In order to meet factor #2 of Section 17.08.050 ( 2. The project provides exceptional
architectural and landscapes design amenities which reflect an attractive image and character for
the city' ) every, effort was made to follow the cities General Performance Standards. Section
17.08.040 states, in pan, "Considerations for approval of development plans and for awarding
floor area ratio bonuses will be based upon both the development standards and the degree of
conformante with the performance standards".the following is a list of the General Performance
Standards followed by an explanation on how the project has met with that standard.
Use creative entry treatments with such features as canopies, awnings,
cornices or atriums.
This has been accomplished by our entrance canopy which includes a metal barrel
roof that matches the color of the main roof supported by large cylinder columns
finished to math the trim of the main building. Landscape features as welI as a
cornice detail below the roof ties the canopy architecturally to the main building.
Use a variety of complementary colors and avoid the use of just one color and
dark colors.
We have provided a variation in our color scheme that has the tower elements and
the first floor portion of the building darker in color than the body. We have also
provided a cornice detail, a waist band detail and other trim elements which will
be a different color than the body or the tower elements.
Use various window shapes and sizes.
Although this is a hotel and there are several windows of the same size; We have
provided areas that will feature large arched windows. At the main entrance to the
hotel we have large arched windows that exceed 30'-0" in height and also help
complement our interior common space. The grid pattern in the windows will
match the trim color of the building and provide visual interest.
Architectural air conditioning grills will be installed below the guest room
windows. Architectural grills are flush with the exterior finish of the structure and
streamline so that when painted the same color as the finish they will blend ~vith
the area around them. Over the top of each grill a wrought iron decorative grill
will be mounted to the structure to provide visual interest. The wrought iron grill
will protrude from the wall only enough to provide proper circulation for the air
conditioning grill and will be painted to match the trim of the building.
Vary the building shapes by using curved or angled walls.
Although we do not have angled or curved walls, we have varied the shape of the
building by use of tower elements at the guest room portion of the hotel which
adds contrast to the building facade. The tower elements are created by the
varying room sizes which will allow the tower elements to protrude nearly 6 feet.
The entrance portion of the building is highlighted by the large roof gables and
taller tower elements that protrude from the main structure. The entrance also
provides the location for the change in direction of the floor plan creating a basic
"L' shape to the structure.
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.
The only separate structures are the entrance canopy and the fence that surround
the pool area. Both contain the same primary building features and colors as the
main structure. The fence will be wrought iron that will match the trim of the
structure supported by plaster columns that will match the main body of the hotel
in color with an architectural cap that will match the trim as well.
Use a consistent design theme throughout the project. Employ
complementary or consistent details, shapes, materials and color. In addition,
consistent signage should be provided be provided with complementary
colors, lettering, placement and materials.
A consistent design theme has been accomplished by the use of matching tower
elements, cornice details and colors. The tower elements at the entrance portion of
the hotel are larger than those located in the guest room portion of the hotel, this is
done intentionally to draw more attention to the entrance. The signage for the
project is not being reviewed at this time, and will be reviewed under a different
submittal.
The bulk of the building should be divided to reduce the apparent scale and
provide visual interest. Box-like designs should be avoided.
This has been accomplished by the use of proportional variations in the building
footprint. We have provided architectural projections between each line of
windows in order to create building shadows. Horizontal elements such as the
waist band and the cornice have been provided to break the visual mass of the
facade into smaller areas. Tower elements have been designed with a gable roof
that divides the roof and provides visual interest. The tower elements at the guest
room portion arc designed to provide contrast in the building facade without
taking the focus away from the main entrance of the hotel.
With respect to factor #3 of Section 17.08.050 (The project provides enhanced public
facilities that are needed by the city, beyond those required mitigation impact measures.) A
continence decision was made to provide facilities that would benefit the community as a whole.
JEFFERSON STREET MEDIAN:
As part of the development of this project, construction of a median along
Jefferson Ave., a Public Works goal for several years. will be constructed. Though
some assistance is being provided by the city, the size of the Holiday inn express
project makes the cost of the median bearable for the developer. The addition of
the median will add to the appeal and safety of the area and help ignite addition
development at this location.
ENHANCED FACILITIES:
A large outdoor plaza area bordered by landscape features has been provided for
the use of both the community and guests. An out door pool area: adjacent to the
great room, with landscape surrounding the area has been provided for the guests.
A meeting room and Business Center will be provided near the main entrance of
the hotel for the use of both guests and local business. High speed Internet access
will be provided to all rooms. A large percentage of the rooms will be designed as
suites for families. With the help of city staff and approval of the franchise the
building elevation has been modified from the Holiday Inn standard to incorporate
a more attractive image. As part of the overall development we have provided an
enhanced entry with landscaped medians and proposed monument signs to be
utilized by the entire development. It is our intention with these design amenities.
along with the landscape features, to provide an attractive image which reflects
the character of the community..
HIGH OUALITY MODERN HOTEL NEEDED IN TEMECULA:
The developers are investing approximately $9.2 million in developing an
attractive, modern, state of the art interior corridor hotel. Interior corridor hotels
are perceived to be safer and achieve a higher level of security for guests due to
the restricted number of entrances. Many of Temecula economy hotels are over 12
years old with some in poor repair, the City of Temecula lacks in the number of
upper mid-market franchise hotels, such as the proposed Holiday in Express. It is
a well known fact that Temecula hotels sell out frequently during weekends and
festivals forcing visitors to either cancel their plans or stay within Temecula's
near by cities creating "leakage" in Temecula's transient occupancy tax revenues.
With the anticipated development of the Rogers-Dale project in Murrieta
proposed to open in the 2001, the problem with weekend sellout will greatly
increase.
In conclusion, we believe that this project will provide the city with enhanced public
facilities. exceptional architectural and landscape amenities as well as provide exceptional
benefits to the city with respect to the employment, fiscal. social and economic needs of the
community. We do not believe; nor has city staff concluded. that the increase in the F.A.R. will
create unmitigable impacts upon traffic circulation or overburden the utilities serving that area. I
hope the City of Temecuta Planning Commission, in view of the points presented in this letter,
will look favorable on approving the hotel and the requested 0. 11 increase in the floor area ratio.
Sincerely,
Dan Hinson. Project Architect

CONCLUSIONS
Site-specific circulation and access recommendations are depicted on Exhibit Y. Median
improvements along Front Street should provide for dght turns in/out and left turns in only
(no left turns out) at the central project driveway. The central project driveway should also
provide a northbound right turn lane for vehicles desiring to turn dght into the project site.
The south project driveway to Front Street should be restricted to dght turns in/out only.
Stop signs along with stop legends and stop bars should be installed at the access
ddveways.
Sight distance at each project driveway to Front Street should be reviewed with respect to
standard Caltrans/City of Temecula sight distance standards at the time of preparation of
final grading, landscape and street improvement plans.
The project should participate on a pro-rata basis on funding city-wide traffic
improvements based upon adopted City fee programs.

APPLICANT:
Illusionzone Inc, (Chuck R. Lacy)
PROPOSAL:
To operate an indoor skateboard park with optional use as a
paintball arena in a 14,666 square foot portion of a building within
an existing 26,161 square foot industrial builing.

BACKGROUND
On August 4, 1999, Chuck Lacy of the Illusionzone, Inc. applied for a Minor Conditional Use
Permit to permit the operation of an indoor skateboard park with optional use as a paintball
arena within an existing industrial building located at 42188 Rio Nedo, Unit A. A Design Review
Committee (DRC) meeting was held on August 26, 1999, at which time the Building and Safety
F:\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPTN308pa99.pc,dOc
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 21, 1999.
At the Director's Hearing, two objections to this project were brought forward. One business
owner (Howard Reimer) from across the street spoke in opposition. The second objection came
as a letter from a trustee (R. Michael Wilkinson) of a property located four parcels away on the
opposite side of the street. Both parties had concerns regarding the increased traffic and a lack
of parking that would cause customers to park on their properties. The neighbor across the
street was also concerned with the possibility of vandalism related to the draw of the youths to
the area and the possible maring of property with paintballs.
In response staff explained that the parking had been consider and that it was staff's conclusion
that there would be sufficient parking and that the traffic generated would be less intensive than
other use that could occupy his building. Staff also felt that many of the customers would be
adolescence under the driving age and would be dropped off at the facility. In addition, to deal
with any potential nuisances the applicant is conditioned to file a security plan with the police
department.
On November 2, 1999, R. Michael Wilkinson, and on November 3, 1999, Howard Reimer, filed
formal appeals of the Planning Director's decision on this projects (See Attachment 2). Both
parties had similar concerns and their cited justifications for the Appeal are addressed in this
report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project, Planning Application No. PA99-0308 (Minor Conditional Use Permit), is a request
to operate an indoor skateboard park with optional use as a paintball arena. The applicant
proposes to construct this indoor skateboarding facility/paintball arena within 14,666 square feet
a 26,161 square foot industrial building on a 1.22 acre lot located at 42188 Rio Nedo, Unit A.
Inside this facility will be offices, minor equipment sales, waitingNiew areas, and the arena.
The proposed hours of operation for the project are Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to
9:00 PM, Friday 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Saturday from 8:30 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 3 to 5.
ANALYSIS
Site Description
The building faces Rio Nedo with parking at the front and along one side and the rear property
lines. Landscaping and all other site improvements are existing.
Parking
The Development Code parking requirements for skating rinks is one space per 1,000 square
feet of lot area. Because project occupies slightly more than half of the building, staff calculated
a need for 27 parking spaces. With the overall site having 48 spaces and reciprocal parking staff
F:\Dep~sXPLANNING\STAFFRPTx308pa99.pc.doc

felt that limited hours of operation and the anticipated peak hours for this project would not
conflict with other uses currently at this site or in the vicinity.
Land Use Compatibility Issues
The project site is located within a light industrial area with a number of industrial uses currently
in operation. The zoning for the area allows a variety of manufacturing and warehousing
activities as permitted uses. Skateboard parks, as listed in the development code in a Light
Industrial zone, may have some special impact or a uniqueness that could effect its
surroundings and are therefore, to be considered, as a conditionally permitted use.
The project site is on the north side of Rio Nedo. Along this street are a variety of light industrial
uses. At the Director's Hearing two property owners voiced concerns about the traffic
associated this type of business and the existing traffic generated by the industrial businesses,
They also had the perception that there would be lack of parking on the applicant site and his
customers would be parking on the appellants' properties.
APPEAL:
Issue 1.
Response:
Issue 2.
Response:
Five primary issues were cited by the appellants as justification for denying both
projects.
This type of business will draw children to an industrial area where there are
uses that store hazardous materials including a propane storage tank. The
potential hazards are further magnified by the fact that there is an earthquake
fault approximately 2,000 feet away.
Light Industrial zoning permits a full range of industrial uses that would create
conflicts with children or anyone else visiting or working in this area. The
introduction of a recreational facility in this zone as a conditionally permitted use
was reviewed carefully by staff. A 30,000 pound capacity propane tank is
approximately 575 feet away from the skateboard arena. Staff considered the
proximity of the propane tank and the likelihood of other chemical hazards in the
surrounding businesses and believed that they did not pose a threat. After
sending out the Public Hearing Noticing to all the property owners within a 600
foot radius, no one came forward to oppose this project on the merits that their
operations would be hazardous to anyone in the area. With regard to the
earthquake fault, it appears to be far enough away so as not to be of a major
concern.
The proposed Skateboard Park would increase traffic in an already busy
industrial park.
All businesses generate a certain level of traffic and this type of business will be
no exception. However, staff calculated that the anticipated traffic generated by
this proposal would be no greater than the multitude of other types of businesses
that could utilize the same building space. Moreover, the peak traffic times for
this business will be in the late afternoon and mid-evening on weeknights and all
day on weekends when most industrial businesses are closed.
Issue 3.
Response:
Truck traffic and a busy street versus children.
The applicant for this project has expressed to staff that it will be his policy to
have parents come inside to pick up their children so they are not hanging
F:\DeptsXPLANNINGXSTAFFRPT~308pa99.pc.doc

Issue 4.
Response:
around outside. He also plans to install five video cameras outside of the
building to further assure security and safety on his property. Furthermore, the
applicant understands that his Conditional Use Permit can be revoked if
compliance with the conditions is not maintained.
Lack of parking and parking on neighboring properties.
Staff reviewed the available parking on this site and the parking required for this
type of use and found that the site had ample parking. This project is required to
have 27 spaces. The site has 48 spaces with reciprocal parking, 30 of which, the
applicant states, are assigned to the suite being used for the skateboard park.
The majority of those utilizing the facility will be dropped off by a parent, therefore
not continually occupying a parking space. 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. Staff believes it is not likely that customers at this
facility will be parking on other sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The project qualifies under 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.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, staff has reviewed the items cited by the appellants during their review and
analysis of this project and found that this project was not likely to create conflicts with the other
uses in the area. Staff. therefore, still stands by out original conclusions and recommends that
the Planning Director's approval for this project be upheld. Staff is recommending that the
Planning Commission deny the appeals and uphold the approval of the Planning Director
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
FINDINGS
The proposal, a skateboard and paintball arena, is a conditional use consistent with the land
use designation and policies reflected in Light Industrial (LI) land use standards in the City of
Temecula General Plan and 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.
2. 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. This project is
located within an area of existing industrial uses at 42188 Rio Nedo.
3. 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.

4. 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.
5. The decision to approve the application for a conditional use permit is based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission at the time of
their decision. This application has been brought before the Planning Commission at a
Public Hearing where members of the community have had a opportunity to be heard on this
matter before the Commission renders their decision.

PLANNING APPLICATION NO. PA99-0308
(Minor Conditional Use Permit)
Planning Application No. PA99-0308 (Minor Conditional Use Permit) is a request for approval to
permit the operation of an indoor skateboard park with optional use as a paintball arena. In
accordance with the City's Development Code, Chuck Lacy of the Illusionzone, Inc. has applied
for a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow an indoor skateboarding facility/paintball arena
within a 9,726 square feet a 26,161 square foot industrial building located at 42188 Rio Nedo,
UnitA.
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.
No structural changes to the exterior of the building are being proposed as a result of this
project. Minor improvements are noted on the floor plans and will require separate building
permits. The parking requirements were reviewed for this proposal with the determination that
the amount of parking required for this project and the parking available for the center which the
project is located is sufficient.
At this time no one has contacted the Planning Department regarding this project.
Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Director approve Planning Application No. PA99o
0308 (Minor Conditional Use Permit), based upon the findings and the attached Conditions
of Approval.
This concludes Staff's presentation. Staff is available to answer any questions.

Dear Mr. Thomsley:
I am the Trustee of the Wilkinson Trust 991, the owner of the properties located
at 42355 and 42381 Rio Nedo, Temecula, California. This letter shall constitute my
formal objection to Planning Applicalion Number PA99-0308 (Minor Conditional Use
Permit), fie hearing on which will be held today at 1:30 D.m. I believe the Planning
Application should be de~ied because of the increased ~aff~ and lack of parking that
will be created it the Conditional Use PaTnit is granted. The nature of the Applicant's
busjness will attract a large number of customers into this area. I am also concsmed
that the parldng fadl'ffies for my buildings will be used by the customers of the Applicant.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT
Reconsideration of the decision taken in this matter. The A~pellant
requests that the application for a Minor Conditional Use Permit be
denied.
STATEMENT OF APPEAL
At the outset, please note that the Appellant has not yet received a written
notice of the decision in this matter. It is the Appellant's contention that the
Director of Planning granted the application for a Minor Conditional Use Permit in
error.
The proposed use of the applicant's property for a skateboard park and/or
paintball arena will undoubtedly attract a great deal of children to the area. This
use is not compatible with the existing industrial and manufacturing uses in the
area. The existing uses include manufacturing operations and the storage of
hazardous chemicals. In fact, there is a business located on Rio Nedo that is
approximately 576 feet from the applicant's property, which maintains a propane
tank containing 30,000 pounds of propane gas. This environmental and safety
risk is greatly magnified by the fact that there is an earthquake fault line
approximately 2,000 feet away. A skateboard park, which will attract children,
creates an unnecessary safety risk, and should not be located in such an
industrial area.
Furthermore, the area is serviced by a number of large trucks. These
trucks, along with the increased traffic from the Applicant's proposed use, will
have a negative impact on the traffic patterns in the area. Moreover, the heavy
truck traffic is incompatible with a skateboard park. Children loitering, walking
and playing in the area are an accident waiting to happen.
Finally, there is the fact that there is a lack of parking for the proposed
skateboard park. Even if parents come in to the area to pick up and drop off their
children, they will need a place to park while they wait. Consequently, the
parents will probably end up parking at the adjacent properties, and interfering
with their businesses.
In summary, the Applicant's proposed use of a skateboard park and/or
paintball arena is incompatible with the surrounding manufacturing and industrial
uses. Therefore, the Applicant's request for a Minor Conditional Use Permit
should be denied.

Dear Thomas,
42188 Rio Nedo Unit A
Temecula, Ca 92590
(909) 694-6943
I am writing this letter to you in regards to the two appeals that have been filed on
our project. I would like to address the issues brought up by Mr. Wilkinson and
Mr. Reirner.
The issue in the statement of appeal is that there are hazardous chemicals near
our facility. We have looked extensively at the surrounding businesses and to the
best of our knowledge determined that this is not an issue .The propane that is
stored down the street from us is not a hazardous chemical. The earthquake fault
lines mentioned in the statement are just that-a fault line.
As to traffic and parking our policy is only to allow up to 50 skaters maximum in
each skate session. This is for safety as well as not having over crowded floors
to skate on. So if every one that came brought one friend and the average
session had 22 people and 90 % were dropped off by their parents that means
them would be 20 car trips every 2 hours (10 to drop off & 10 to pick up) starting
at 3:00pm and ending at 9:00pm in the evening, long after everyone has gone
home for the day. We feel that them would be much more traffic on the street if
this were a manufacturing facility like the one that was in the building last year,
which had over 100 employees.
The issue is that there will be more traffic brought in to the area. The average
age of our patrons is fifteen, after visiting numerous indoor skate parks and
talking with their owners we determined that 90% of our visitors will be dropped
off by their parents and that also they usually bring one or more friends. We have
mere then adequate parking for this type of facility there are 48 parking spots in
our parking area. The majodty of our open hours are after most businesses are
closed and on weekends when they are not open.
As to loitering and playing in the area we have a lounge area planned with TV
and games to keep people inside until they are picked up. Part of our rules are
that there will be no loitering in the outside area and if any of our members are
caught breaking the rules they can have their membership pulled and can be
banned from our facility. We plan to set up 5 cameras outside that will be
recording 24 hours a day 7 days a week along with being monitored during open
hours by our staff. As you know our security plan has been approved by the
Temecula Police Department.
If you have any questions or need other information please don't hesitate to
contact us.
Thank you,
President, CEO
