REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AUGUST 4, 1992
Committee Member Walton asked how Old Town fits into the plan as far as timing.
Executive Director Dixon advised that a substantial amount of the proceeds derived
from redevelopment agency bond issue will be spent in Old Town.
Committee Member Walton asked how Old Town could be integrated into the cities
street sweeping and street light maintenance services. He added that he felt if the Old
Town merchants knew that one company would provide trash pick-up and street
sweeping, the merchants might utilize that particular company's services.
Executive Director Dixon advised that Joe Hreha would be the contact at City hall to
coordinate the street sweeping of Old Town through the City's contracted services.
Committee Member Walton suggested that the City could improve the vacant lots in
Old Town with black top curbs in order to facilitate the street sweepers. He also
suggested installation of a sign at the corner of Rancho California Road and Front
Street to denote the existence and location of Old Town for tourists.
Executive Director Dixon advised that there is currently a committee working on a
directional sign for the west side of Front Street on the southwest corner. He added
that the merchants could initiate a "kiosk" sign program in Old Town as well.
Committee Member Reed expressed concern that there were projects related to Old
Town of higher priority, than those listed in the Plan and questioned their status (i.e.
Main Street Bridge, 6th Street and First Street parking). Committee Member Reed also
questioned lighting in Old Town.
Executive Director Dixon advised that the Old Town Specific Plan will provide the
guidelines necessary to plan lighting, parking, etc. He advised that the Council has
delayed consideration of acquisition of the First Street property. The Main Street
Program will be coordinated with the Old Town Specific Plan.

INTRODUCTION
Temecula - Yesterday
The original Temecula Village was settled on the south side of the Temecula River.
It was first inhabited around 900 A.D. by the Shoshoneon Tribe, who were believed
to be hunters and harvesters.
Temecula #2 came into being about 1818 when Father Juan Norberto de Santiago
came with seven soldiers and five Indians from Mission San Juan Capistrano. They
did not stay, but. did record their visit and the name - Temecula - meaning "diffused
sunshine". This recording casts doubts on the legendary name Temeku. The Indians
were named Luisenos by the Spaniards in honor of King Louis of France. In 1818 a
granary, chapel and homes were built to establish the mission's agricultural area.
This was the white man's first settlement. In 1830, on the Temecula River about
three miles upstream from what became known as Pauba Ranch headquarters, John
McGee built a store, a long adobe building on the south bank of the river. To the
east of the store were crumbling remains of the former Indian village which was
the home of Pablo Apis, and this area became the site of the first Temecula post
office in April, 1859. The Butterfield Stage first arrived in 1858. The-Civil War was
responsible for its demise in 1.861.
Temecula #3 came into being at the present location with the arrival of the railroad
in January, 1882. The post office moved to this townsite in January 1883. The last
train left Temecula for the north in 1935 due to repeated flooding of the rail line.
Granite quarries became productive in the late 1880's and lasted until 1915.
Thousands of tons of cut granite were shipped from Temecula to form the front
steps of the Riverside County courthouse, curbstones on Market Street in San
Francisco, cemetery monuments and hitching posts. Some of these curbs are still
present in Temecula in front of the Squire (originally the Machado Store and later
the Long Branch Saloon) around the corner from the Bank as well as in front of
the Temecula Hotel. The largest piece (15 tons) is in Sam Hicks Monument Park, on
which are inscribed the names of the notable visitors to the Temecula Valley
through the ages.
Rancho California
In 1964, the Kaiser Development Company acquired 85,000 acres in the Temecula
Valley. By 1972. they had increased their acquisition to a total of 97,500 acres. The
company envisioned a fully planned community that would reach a population of
100,000 over the next twenty years. The community would provide a quality life
environment consisting of all services needed with well balanced commercial and
industrial employment opportunities.
1
Temecula Today
Old Town Temecula presently has numerous historical sites - some classified as
such, some not] It has a strong commercial base with an emphasis on antique shops,
but a good balance of retail and service businesses. It has some old structures well
maintained and some of questionable stability. It has some very beautiful areas and
some very unsightly and unkempt areas. It has some new facilities which
complement the older structures and some that look like new facilities; out of place.
Temecula today is feeling the pressures of the growth of the community around it,
showing up in the form of increased traffic, lack of parking and other related
problems. Temecula today lacks consistency, continuity and direction.
Temecula Tomorrow
What is the future of Old Town Temecula? How does it fit into the original master
plan of the Kaiser Development Company.'? Is it in contrast to or can it
complement the planned community of Rancho California.'/ Will historical sites
continue to be torn down or removed.'? Will inconsistencies in facade continue to
occur.'? Can it maintain its quaint hometown environment? These are iust a few of
the questions that have been asked these past few years. The only known factor
about Old Town Temecula is uncertainty.
Temecula Community Plan Task Force
The Temecula Community Plan Task Force was formed as a result of the concerns
of preserving the historical village of Temecula and direction of the development of
its future. The Board of Directors of the Temecula Town Association, Temecula
Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Old Town Temecula Museum Historical
Committee sponsored the formation of this Task Force. The Task Force consisted
of three representatives from each organization and a liaison from the Board of
Directors of each organization. After the formation of the Old Town Temecula
Merchants Association the Task Force requested equal representation from the
organization to participate.
The objective of the task force was clearly stated in the Standing Rules.
The purpose of this Task Force shall be to formulate a Temecula
Town Plan and to encourage and speed a development and
refurbishmerit c;f Downtown Temecula as a commercial and tourist
center.
A listing of the membership of the Task Force follows:

The Plan
The first few months after the formation of the Temecula Community Plan Task
Force were spent preparing a data base. What were the needs and desires of the
community? What were the appropriate agencies and individuals to interface with
in obtaining procedures, process and flow charts. What projects were presently
being addressed and their status?
Once this was completed the Task Force formed three sub-committees for
preparation of the plan. The sub-committees were Preservation; Traffic and
Parking; and Utilities and Facilities. Each sub-committee addressed specific areas of
concern which had been identified during the data collection period.
The format used by each of the sub-committees was the same, Each item of
concern was looked at from four perspectives:
Existinto: What is the present status?
Planned: What action (if any) is being taken by a local organization or
Riverside County agency?
Problems: What are the present or potential problems.
Recommendations: The Task Force recommendations.
Due to the lack of technical expertise on the Task Force, this plan should be viewed
as a "grass roots" perspective of the concerns and potential solutions regarding the
growth and development of Old Town Temecula. The responsibility for follow-up,
preparation and implementation of action items in this plan falls squarely on the
shoulders of the four local organizations sponsoring this Task Force and the
Riverside County Board of Supervisors and their agencies.

II
PRESERVATION OF OLD TOWN TEMECULA
The history that is Old Town Temecula belongs to us all. It is a part of our past
that still lingers in Old Town Temecula. The history-that Temecula represents is
not only the history of our town, it also tells the history of so many small towns
like it all across America.
Preserving the past is our responsibility. In doing so, it serves to enrich the quality
of our future. Old Town Temecula possesses a charm and uniqueness that cannot
be manufactured, these qualities must evolve with time. The character of Temecula
is strong and the history and Western beauty should be thoughtfully enhanced, not
obscured.
Because Temecula is small, some would consider its plight insignificant. Instead, we
consider it symbolic - a symbol of our past to be saved and treasured for ourselves
and for our children.
Temecula is a living town with thriving businesses, rising property values and strong
tourist trade. It is possible. with thought and consideration. to merge Temecula's
past and present with Temecula's future and. in doing so, protect the integrity of the
town's history.
In matters such as this we can show our compassion and dedication to the memories
of those that have come before us. We can utilize our resources to find creative and
compassionate solutions.
Through thoughtful building and remodeling, local beautification programs, public
awareness and the support of local organizations, we all can work together to help
the town maintain the character and sense of history that is Temecula - past,
present and future.
TEMECULA HISTORICAL DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD
The Temecula Historical District Review Board was established in 1979 by the
Riverside County Board of Supervisors in an attempt to preserve the historical
flavor of Old Town Temecula. It is this Board that represents the bridge between
preservation of the history of Old Town Temecula and all other interested parties
including developers, property owners, local organizations and Riverside County
agencies.
Existing: The Temecula Historical District Review Board was originally set up
under Ordinance #578: An Ordinance Of The County Of Riverside Providing For
The Establishment Of Historic Preservation Districts (Exhibit A) on October 23,
1979. Five members were originally appointed by Riverside County Board of
Supervisors. Although the Ordinance is still in effect, certain aspects of the
Ordinance have been forgotten.
planned: None.
Problems:
(1) Members have not been rotated and no new members have been
appointed as required in Ordinance #578, Section 4a.
(2) Regular meetings are not held and, to our knowledge, no records exist or
have been kept by the Temecula Historical District Review Board.
(3) Insufficient communication exists between the Temecula Historical
District Review Board and local civic organizations. This unfortunate void results
in a lack of understanding and a situation where our local resources are ignored.
Information pertinent to the welfare of the historical identity of the town should
not be difficult to obtain and, in fact, should be provided to any interested local
organization upon request. Communication between the Temecula Historical
District Review Board, the Riverside County Planning Department and the
Riverside County Historical Commission seems difficult.
(4) There is difficulty involved with enforcing guidelines. The question of
who is responsible for enforcing guidelines must be answered. Ordinance #578
Section 9a states that legal action will be taken by the District Attorney. No
mention is made, however, of who initiates this action.
Recommendations:
(1) New members should be appointed to the Temecula Historical District
Review Board. Three new members should be appointed at this time and three
existing members should retire. From that time on, members should be rotated
every two years per Ordinance #578 Section 4b.
(2) New members should be recommended from local organizations: Old
Town Temecula Merchants Association, Old Town Temecula MuseUm Historical
Committee, Sam Hicks Monument Park Foundation, Temecula Town Association
and Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. The final selection should be made
from this list by the Riverside County Historical Committee. In addition, a
representative from the Riverside County Planning Department should participate
in the meetings to provide leadership and support.
(3) Regular meetings should be scheduled and adhered to. Minutes of these
meetings as well as other pertinent information should be recorded and open to
review.
(4) Concerned representatives from local organizations should be able to
obtain pertinent information from the Temecula Historical District Review Board
on any building of historical interest.
(5) Proposed plans for building or remodeling should be submitted to the
Temecula Historical District Review Board in writing.
6
(6) Copies of any proposed plans should be made available to the following
local organizations upon request:
(a) Old Town Temecula Museum Historical Committee.
(b) Old Town Temecula Merchants Association.
(c) Temecula Town Association.
(d) Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce.
(7) Any questions or complaints regarding proposed plans should be
submitted in writing to the Temecula Historical District Review Board and should
be resolved before final approval of plans.
(8) Infractions committed against the approved guidelines should be
declared unlawful and the District Attorney should take action against the
perpetrator (See Ordinance #578, Section 9: Lega/Procedures; Penalty for Violation)~
Clarification is needed to ascertain who is responsible for initiating this legal action.
(9) When an infraction occurs a letter outlining the problem should be sent
to the perpetrator with copies to all interested organizations by the Temecula
Historical District Review Board. If no solution is reached, then an additional copy
of the letter, with an update, should be sent to the District Attorney's office and the
Riverside County Supervisor's office for legal action.
(10) The Temecula Historical District Review Board and the Riverside
County Planning Department should work in conjunction with each other and also
with the Riverside County Historical Commission concerning problems or situations
within the Temecula historical area.
(1t) When a problem is identified and reported to the RiVerside County
Planning Department by the Temecula Historical District Review Board, it should
be in writing and a copy should also be sent to the Riverside County Historical
Commission - The Riverside County Historian.
(12) The Riverside County Historical Committee should increase interaction
with the Temecula Historical District Review Board to provide assistance in
educating the public about Temecula's historical past. It is, therefore, necessary for
a representative from the Riverside County Historical Committee to be present at
each meeting of the Temecula Historical District Review Board.
(13) Ordinance #578, Section 6 states that educational programs should be
held for the benefit of the community. There is no mention of funding for these
programs. Funding should be provided through the Riverside County Historical
Commission.
(14) An elected representative from the proposed revised Temecula
Historical District Review Board should serve on the Riverside County Historical
Commission.
BOUNDARIES OF OLD TOWN TEMECULA
Existinl~: The Temecula Community Plan Task Force Study Area boundary lines
are, to the north - Moreno Road; to the 1-15 on the east. It then follows the 1-15
eastward past 1st Street on the south and joins Front Street on the west. Then Front
Street going north meets Moreno Road. (Map of the Study Area is attached as
Exhibit B).
Planned: At this time the Temecula Historical District Review Board's boundaries
do not include some historical sites such as St. Catherine's Church and Sam Hicks
Monument Park, to the north of the Study Area. A letter from the Task Force was
sent to the Riverside County Supervisor, Walt Abraham, asking for an extension of
the historical map. The response was "the matter is being looked into, but there
may be a delay because of funds."
Problems: If too much time elapses before the historical map is extended, new
developments could be planned and authorized. Because this area does not fall
under the historical map, the Temeeula Historical District Review Board has no
control over any planned building.
Recommendations: An extension of the historical map should be authorized as soon
as possible.
PRESERVATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF HISTORIC SI'I ES OR
BUILDINGS
Existin{,: The Riverside County Historical Committee recognizes the existence of
historical buildings and sites in Old Town Temecula. Local organizations such as
the Old Town Temecula Museum Historical Committee, Old Town Temecula
Merchants Association, Sam Hicks Monument Park Foundation, Temecula
Historical District Review Board and others are also aware of these historic
buildings.
In the past, buildings of historic significance have been moved outside of the
historical area. The possibility remains that buildings in this situation may be able
to be moved to a new site within the historical area if a procedure was implemented
that would utilize available local resources. (See attached listing and information on
buildings of historical importance at Exhibit C)-
Planned: None.
Problems: It is important that we endeavor to protect all historical buildings and
sites in Old Temecula. Without a set of uniform notification procedures, we may
continue to lose more buildings of historical significance.
Recommendations: The Temecula Historical District Review Board should work in
cooperation with other interested local organizations to form a network to help
"place" endangered buildings.
8
(1) If a building cannot remain on its original site for any reason and is
scheduled to be moved or destroyed, it is suggested that the Temecula Historical
District Review Board formally notify local organizations: Old Town Temecula
Museum Historical Committee, Old Town Temecula Merchants Association.
Temecula Town Association, Sam Hicks Monument Park Foundation and Temecula
Valley Chamber of Commerce.
(2) Notices should be placed in local newspapers with information
pertaining to the building in question and all other details. In this way, enough
people will be notified of the situation and possibly a local property owner or
organization can arrange to keep the building within the historical area.
III
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
A definitive set of Architectural Design Guidelines needs to be established to
provide the developers and Temecula Historical District Review Board with
guidance for future construction and reconstruction projects.
Copies of the Architectural Design Guidelines should be made available through:
Local real estate offices.
Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center.
Local organizations such as Old Town Temecula Merchants Association and
Tcmecula Town Association.
CURRENT GUIDELINES
Existing: Temecula Historical District Review Board is operating under general
guidelines as published in Ordinance #578.
Planned: None.
Problems: Current guidelines are to general and subject to varyed interpretations.
Recommendations: The Temecula Community Plan Task Force has chosen 1890 -
1920 as the period of time encompasses the important buildings and sites that
comprise the history of Old Town Temecula.
(1) New buildings should meet the Riverside County Codes and the Historic
Preservation Element of the Riverside County General Plan and Architectural
Design Guidelines developed by the Temecula Historical District Review Board.
(2) Because every new building has a profound impact on the town as a
whole and it is this picture that comprises the image of Temecula, it is imperative
that every building respect the surrounding architectural style and feeling.
(3) It is important to maintain a visual architectural rhythm so that each
building relates to the others and there is no visual distraction. This concept is
especially important considering that the town is small and the image that needs to
be preserved could easily be disrupted.
(4) Older buildings should be maintained properly and discretion should be
used when adding to or taking away a portion of a building. Additions should be
added under the guidelines for new buildings.
(5) Materials and architectural style should enhance the original building
and not be done in a totally different style or with uncomplimentary materials.
10
SIGNING - INDMDUAL BUSINESS SIGNS
A sign is probably the first thing that may be noticed and should be considered part
of the architectural body of the building.
~ Many different types of signs are in existence in Old Town Temecula at
this time. Some fit into the Western theme and others do not.
Planned: None.
Problems: Signs are an important part of the Old Town Temecula image. At this
time, there is much variety in the signs used. Some are acceptable, but others are
garish and do not fit into the 1890 - 1920 theme.
Recommendations:
(1) Each business should select a sign or signs that complement the type of
business, architectural style of the building, as well as the character of the town.
The time period theme of 1890 - 1920 should be considered and respected.
(2) Proposed signs should be reviewed and approved by the Temecula
Historical District Review Board.
(3) Neon signs, plastic signs and oversized signs are inappropriate.
(4) Wooden signs, painted or sandblasted, are desirable, appropriate and in
keeping with the character of Old Town Temecula.
(5) Colors should complement the adjacent building and be within the
accepted range of colors: white, gray, gray-blue, beiges through brown, barn red,
butter yellow.
(6) Although signs should respect the time period and character of the
town. it is also suggested that signs reflect the individuality of each business.
(7) Uniformity and exactness of signs is not encouraged, nor is it desired.
WALKWAYS
Walkways are important as they are meant to safely guide pedestrians to each
business from the street and from business to business.
Existinl~: Existing walkways are different in material, style and level of function
from business to business.
Planned: None.
Problems: Some walkways are difficult to traverse for children, the elderly and
especially the handicapped. Others lack planning or landscaping.
11
Problems: Some walkways are difficult to traverse for children. the elderly and
especially the handicapped. Others lack planning or landscaping.
Recommendations:
(1) Paths should be as attractive as possible.
(2) Walkways should be kept clean, in good repair and in safe condition.
(3) Suggested materials include brick, flagstone and concrete. Concrete can
be tinted to soften the effect to blend in with wood or brick planters.
(4) Flowers, ground cover and other appropriate landscaping enhance and
beautify the walkway and encourage its use. Landscaping also increases property
values and assists with erosion and water run-off problems, while adding beauty to
the area.
FACADES
Using the 1890 - 1920 theme, it is suggested that new buildings the style andambiance
of this time period in order for Old Town Temecula to achieve the proper balance
between new and old.
Existing: Among the noted historic buildings exist many others of differing types.
Bungalows, vernacular wood buildings, manufactured buildings with Western
facades, new building complexes and restaurants all share the streets of Old Town
Temecula. Within this area, retail stores, businesses, offices and residences are also
found.
Planned: None.
problems: Because the Old Town Temecula is small, a single building not respecting
the Architectural Review Guidelines could significantly undermine the special look
we wish to preserve and maintain.
Recommendations:
(1) Western style fronts and cottage type exteriors can be added as facades
to buildings to give them the 1890 - 1920 look.
(2) Color is a strong tool as it can visually unify buildings. The eye is
naturally pleased with complementary colors and the overall impression is a
pleasant one. Proper selection of color can unify an older building which may have
small additions or less than perfect architectural detailing, thus enhancing the
existing structure with inexpensive means.
(3) New buildings must respect the look of the existing buildings in town.
Recommended colors are white, gray, gray-blue, beiges through brown. barn red and
soft yellow. Any of these colors could be used with white.
12
(4) Even though other colors may have been used in the 1920's. the
suggested color range is broad enough to afford individual tastes and personality
while maintaining an overall effect and image of the town that would be both
pleasing to the eye and respectful of the historical value of Old Town Temecula.
(5') Suggested materials for facades are wood or wood like materials, stone
or brick.
(6) Fences should harmonize with the surrounding architecture and the time
period both in selection of materials and in design. Picket fences, other wooden
fences, stone or brick is acceptable.
LIGHTING (Individual Businesses)
Existing: Lighting of businesses is at the discretion of the business owner.
Planned: Old Town Temecula Merchants Association has sponsored an Old Town
Temecula BeautiJetcation Program (Exhibit D) that includes asking for cooperation
of local business for better and additional lighting.
Problems: Present lighting is insufficient for safety and crime prevention. It also
creates a poor image for the Old Town Temecula area.
Recommendations:
(1) Encourage local merchants and property owners to establish and
provide better lighting, interior lighting left on at night, porch lights left on at
night, establish lighting near walkways or parking areas.
(2) Lighting fixtures should be complementary to the 1890 - 1920 period.
STREET SIGNS
Existing: Existing street signs are made of metal.
Planned: None.
Problems: None.
Recommendations:
(1) Street signs should compliment the existing street lamps and have an old
fashioned look.
(2) Wooden street signs, sand blasted beige with very dark brown lettering
are suggested.
13
OPEN SPACE PLANNING
~: Many forgotten areas exist between buildings, in front of buildings, near a
fence on a property line, etc. These areas are often untended and overlooked
possibly because they seem insignificant.
Planned: The Old Town Temecula Beauti~cation Program sponsored by the Old
Town Temecula Merchants Association is encouraging property owners and
merchants to make better use of this space by incorporating it into their
landscaping.
ProblemS;: Unplanned and unkempt open spaces are unsightly and do little to
enhance Old Town Temecula.
Recommendations:
(1) Open space planning affords the opportunity to beautify and enrich the
existing surroundings. By encouraging owners and merchants to take responsibility
for their property and share responsibility with others for these forgotten open
spaces, a significant difference in the beauty of Old Town Temecula can be
achieved.
(2) Small or large spaces can easily be landscaped using native plants and
flowers that require minimum care. Herbs and wild flowers were an important part
of our history. They were grown because they were needed for culinary and
medicinal purposes. They are easily grown and easily cared for. Their wonderful
scents make them delightful plants, hedges, etc. Along pathways they are especially
lovely as their scent is emitted when they are touched.
(3) Individual businesses should be encouraged to utilize any dead spots on
or near their building site after obtaining permission, if necessary.
(4) Park benches would make a charming addition to any landscaping plan
and gives shoppers a chance to relax and enjoy the bustle of Temecula.
(5) Trash receptacles should be made available.
(6) Individual property owners and merchants should work together to
landscape these areas. Other resources could be community organizations such as
the Old Town Temecula Merchants Association, Old Town Temecula Museum
Historical Committee, Telnecula Town Association and Temecula Valley Chamber
of Commerce, etc. These groups may be persuaded to donate park benches. trees,
plants, etc. Also local nurseries, landscapers and garden clubs should be encouraged
to help with maintenance, planting or plant purcha.~es.
14
INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY LANDSCAPING
Each property owner or merchant should make the most of their available space
and its potential. Landscaping can be a simple and relatively inexpensive way to
enhance existing property without making major changes.
Existing: Existing landscaping is sparse and the result is a less than an ideal image.
planned: Old Town Temecula Merchants Association is actively supporting the Old
Town Temecula Beauti~cation Progrant.
Problems: Convincing some property owners or merchants the value of upgrading
their property.
Recommendations:
(1) Continue to actively support the Old Town Temecula Beauti~cation
Program.
(2) Ask local organizations to lend moral support to the program.
(3) The following plants and planters should be considered appropriate for
the Old Town Temecula area:
(a) Lady Banksac Roses - yellow or white are a fast growing, climbing
variety that is very sturdy.
(b) Bower Vines will trail over fences and railings to soften the edges
of buildings.
(c) Wild flowers are easily sown and require little care.
(d) Flowers should be sown in tiny pockets along fences or on vacant
lots.
(e) Decorative rock can be used with cascading flowers to create a
lovely rock garden in sunny areas.
(f) Trees offer shade. beauty and relief from the heat as they actually
lower the temperature. If one cannot be planted into the ground, consider a
potted tree that can be moved wherever you wish. After a few years, if it
outgrows the container, it can be planted or sold and a new one moved in as a
replacement.
(g) Window boxes with herbs and flowers, pots of flowers, old
fashioned cottage gardens with flowers and herbs are visually appealing and
reminiscent of the past. Herbs were used for cooking and medicines and were
highly prized as spices. Many are perennial and need only sunshine and water
to thrive. They spread rapidly and most emit lovely fragrances.
15
(h) Shrubs are evergreen and easy care. They can be used as
foundation planrings to disguise an unsightly foundation line. They can also
be used to create privacy, enclose an area (instead of fencing) or to define a
walkway. Many shrubs are flowering and offer greenery plus the color and
fragrance of flowers.
OLD TOWN TEMECULA MUSEUM
x~J_j.~til~: The Old Town Temecula Museum was rounded by the Sam Hicks
Memorial Park Committee in 1986. Currently the Museum is at a temporary site in
Old Town Temecula. The Museum operates as a non-profit organization with a
board of directors consisting of fifteen members. A group of volunteers of
approximately thirty-five act as riocents, giving five hours each per month to
receive and escort visitors through the Museum. All items on exhibit are either on
loan or have been donated at no cost to the Museum. Overland Bank and Kaiser
Development Company donated $20,000 to allow the Museum to purchase items that
were part of the Bianchi Frontier Museum Historical Center.
Planned: Plans are in progress to move the Old Town Temecula Museum to a
permanent site in Sam Hicks Memorial Park within the next year. Incorporation
papers are now being processed and are expected to be completed within a few
months.
problems: Because the Museum is non-profit, additional finances can always be
used.
Recommendations:
(1) Local organizations and the community should be encouraged to help
support this important part of Old Town Temecula's history.
(2) Contractors should be asked to help with moving and relocating the
structure as an act of good will to the community. Other work such as plumbing,
electrical, landscape, etc. could be donated by local contractors.
(3) Local landscape companies, nurseries and garden clubs should be asked
to participate in the landscaping of the Museum on its new site as a public service
project. Those businesses who donate services or material could be rewarded with a
public service plaque showing appreciation of their support.
(4) Other organizations in Temecula should be asked for volunteers to help
in any way needed. Temecula Valley High School has a community service
program that should be utilized. The Temecula Youth Commission could also be
asked for help.
(5) A fund raising committee should be formed to explore the many
different fund raising options available.
(6) Collection jars should be deposited in every local business to encourage
donations.
16
(7) Fund raising events should be planned, such as raffles, carnivals with
games and booths, art and craft exhibits and concerts in the park, to focus public
attention and encourage donations.
(8) Special exhibits of local artifacts should be displayed on a short term
basis as a "showing" with an open invitation to the public, publicized through local
newspapers and organizations. Such exhibits could provide refreshments and charge
admission to help build the Museum fund and also encourage interest in the
Museum and our local history. This would also encourage local collectors to lend
their artifacts to the Museum for showings Or exhibits.
SAM HICKS MONUMENT PARK
At this time we have only one park in Temecula, Sam Hicks Monument Park,
located at the northern end of Old Temecula.
Existing,: The Park is generally open greenspace - grass, trees, a few picnic benches
and a small playground area. It is run by the Sam Hicks Monument Park
Foundation. As this Foundation is a non-profit organization, it depends heavily on
support from local civic groups and the community at large.
Problems: Financing the maintenance, water and other bills is difficult.
Landscaping is minimal partly due to the cost of plants and upkeep. This is the
only park we have in Old Town Temecula and it should be better utilized. There
are no public facilities at the park - no restrooms or drinking fountains.
Recommendations: It is recommended that this lovely and historical park should be
enhanced even further.
(1) Additional landscaping should be implemented peripheral flower
gardens and herb gardens should be added in such a way as tO not diminish the
usable square footage of the park.
(2) Pocket flowers and herb gardens could also add color, interest, a touch
of history and take up minimal space. Local garden clubs, landscapers, museums
and individual volunteers and organizations should be asked to help out in whatever
way needed to landscape the park.
(3) The local public high school (Temecula Valley High School) has a
community service program that could offer volunteers to work on projects, under
supervision - planting, weeding, trash pick up, etc.
(4) Maintenance should be donated on a rotating basis by several local
landscaping companies.
(5) Local garden clubs should donate time tending plants and flowers.
(6) Other volunteers should work together to help maintain the park.
17
(7) Since the water bill is a problem, possibly the Rancho California Water
District could help subsidize at least a portion of the bill as the park is a non-profit
entity.
(8) Restrooms, drinking fountains and trash receptacles should be provided.
(9) With the vision of an old fashioned park comes the image of Saturday
and Sunday afternoons in the park. With the addition of a bandstand (gazebo-like)
we could utilize the park to its full potential by having old fashioned concerts in
the park. Local musicians and singers could perform everything from classical
music to country and western.
(10) With this type of addition and improvements to the park we could offer
community events, fund raising events with entertainment, Christmas programs,
Fourth of July celebrations, Santa Claus, etc. Any number of special events could be
planned around this park area and it would be a wonderful way to encourage people
to visit Old Town Temecula and offer a center for community activities
surrounding this Park where the past and present come together.
PUBLIC EDUCATION ON TEMECULA'S HISTORY
Existing,: A few articles have appeared in local newspapers with photographs and
history of selected historical buildings in Temecula. Several books on the history of
Temecula are available for sate by the Old Town Temecula Museum, Temecula
Town Association and Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce.
planned: None.
Problems: School children who live in Temecula and areas closely surrounding are
not taught about the history of Temecula. If we fail to educate our children and
residents about the unique history that is in Temecula, it will be increasingly
difficult to win civic support and pride for the town.
Recommendations:
(1) Classes from local schools should take field trips to Old Town Temecula.
A tour guide (volunteers from local organizations - Old Town Temecula Merchants
Association or Old Town Temecula Museum Historical Committee) could meet
them at Sam Hicks Monument Park and take them on tour. A printed history of
Temecula could be passed out. They could visit the Old Town Temecula Museum,
old immigrants office, etc. and end by having hmch at Sam Hicks Monument Park.
(2) We should encourage children and parents to take pride in their own
town. Education is the first step.

IV
TRAFFIC AND PARKING
The traffic and parking situation in downtown Temecula has become a critical
factor in the growth and development of Old Town Temecula. An in-depth study of
this subject shows many problems, all of which need to be addressed individually.
Both short range and long range solutions need to be addressed for each problem
area.
ROAD CONDITIONS AND MAIN'I'~NANCE
Old Town Temecula is a part of the unincorporated area of Riverside County. As
such, the upkeep and maintenance of all streets is the responsibility of the Riverside
County Road Department. Riverside County presently maintains a repair and
maintenance facility in Murrieta whose responsibility runs from Newport Boulevard
to the San Diego - Riverside county line, including Old Town Temecula. The
annual budget for repair and maintenance for roads is submitted annually by the
manager of the Murrieta facility, Jim Pose (787-2131). His budget is based upon
expected and requested repairs to roads within his jurisdiction. The repair and
maintenance to the roads to Old Town Temecula are presently included in the
annual budget.
ExistinE: The roads in Old Town Temecula range from fully paved streets to
unpaved roads, all in need of repair.
Planned: Riverside County does not have a master plan to upgrade the road system
in Old Town Temecula. Presently, upgrading is accomplished by developers
required by Riverside County to upgrade the adjoining streets during new
construction or renovation work requiring a permit.
Problems: Without a master plan, upgrading is done on a haphazard basis.
Recommendations: Riverside County Road Department, in conjunction with the
Riverside County Board of Supervisors, prepare and budget a master plan for the
upgrading and maintenance of all roads in Old Town Temecula. This plan should
encompass the paving of 6th Street and scheduled maintenance, including street
sweeping.
TRAFFIC SIGNS
Traffic signs are used to control the flow of traffic in Old Town Temecula.
Existing: There are a number of stop signs generally halting the traffic onto both
Front Street and Mercedes Street. In addition, there are two stop signs halting the
flow of traffic on Front Street itself. There are no other traffic control signs in Old
Town Temecula.
19
Planned: Riverside County Road Department has budgeted and planned for the
installation of a stop light at the intersection of Front Street and Main Street.
According to the Riverside County Road Department, the cost is estimated at
$80,000.
Problems: The volume of local and through traffic currently taxes the ability of the
existing signs to properly control the downtown area.
Recommendations:
(1) The existing four-way stop signs at Front Street and Main Street are
adequate to control the traffic at that intersection. A traffic light is unnecessary.
(2) Additional four-way stop signs should be installed at the corners of
Front Street and 6th Street; Front Street and 4th Street; Front Street and 3rd Street;
and Mercedes Street and Main Street.
CROSSWALKS
The nature of Old Town Temecula generates a high volume of foot traffic between
the various antique and gift shop. Crosswalks are used to safely control pedestrian
traffic in Old Town Temecula.
Existing: In Old Town Temecula there is only one corner that has a marked
crosswalk - Front Street and Main Street.
Planned: According to Riverside County Road Department there are no planned
additional crosswalks for Old Town Temecula.
Problems: The volume of foot traffic in Old Town Temecula needs more control.
Recommendations: Install additional crosswalks at existing stop sign and
recommended stop sign locations.
PARKING LOTS/SPACES
Existing: There are no designated public parking lots in Old Town Temecula.
There are a number of private lots presently being used by the general public. On-
street parking is at a maximum and cannot be increased.
Planned.: Riverside County has no plans at the present time to construct a public
parking lots in Old Town Temecula.
20
Problems: The number of business activities and tourist attractions has increased
without any consideration to a planned parking program. With the increase in
vehicle traffic flows in Old Town Temecula, there is a greater demand for parking
than there are spaces. Commercial trucks and RV parking near cross streets creates
a visual hazard for traffic entering Front Street. Additionally, large commercial
vehicles parking in Old Town Temecula take up two or three of the very limited
supply of parking spaces.
Recommendations:
(1) Riverside County Board of Supervisors form a parking district in Old
Town Temecula, purchase available properties and construct the necessary parking
facilities. The parking district could be added to the existing lighting district.
(2) Front Street to be widened as much as feasible. For the most part of
Front Street in Old Town Temecula, increase a total of six feet on each side of the
road for a total of fifty-two feet from curb to curb.
(3) Where feasible, Riverside County Planning Department should reclaim
the original eighty-eight foot right-of-way. This would allow for some diagonal
parking in certain sections of Front Street.
(5) Riverside County Planning Department should adjust the parking
requirements for those lots where diagonal parking becomes available.
(6) Riverside County Flood Control District should dedicate excess land
along the flood control channel to parking. The construction of the parking
facilities to be completed in concert with the construction of the permanent
floodcontrol facilities.
(7) Riverside County Planning Department should consider adjusting the
parking requirements for new construction in Old Town Temecula; the existing
County requirements are restricting new construction and growth.
(8) To increase the immediate parking availability in Old Town Temecula,
Riverside County Road Department should establish diagonal parking on the
following streets at least one block in both directions from Front Street where
feasibly. These streets include:
(a) Moreno Road - N/E, S/E.
(b) 6th Street - N/E, S/E, S/W.
(c) 5th Street - N/E, S/E, S/W. N/W.
(d) 3rd Street - S/W past Temecula Market, N/W.
(e) 2nd Street - N/E, S/E.
21
(9) Diagonal parking can also be added to certain sections of Front Street in
Old Town Temecula. These sections include:
(a) S/E of Moreno to the Church parking lot.
(b) N/W from Main to just past Don Antonio's.
(c) In front of the Shire.
(d) In front of Patton's Nursery.
(e) South of the Butterfield Inn.
(]0) Existing parking on Front Street at all intersections should be moved
back twenty-five feet from the corner to provide better visibility.
TRAFFIC FLOW
Downtown Temecula traffic, with the exception of the Main Street bridge, flows in
a north-south direction. East-west travel is limited by 1-15 to the east and Murrieta
Creek to the west.
Existing,: At the present time the majority of all traffic in and out of Old Town
Temecula uses Front Street, a two lane fully paved street. Merecries Street is the
only other north-south street that runs from one end of Old Town Temecula to the
other.
.Planned: According to the Riverside County Road Department, there are no plans
to expand or add to the existing streets in Old Town Temecula.
Problems: The volume of traffic currently exceeds the capacity of the existing
roads.
Recommendations:
(1) Front Street to be widened as feasible.
(2) Increase Front Street six feet on each side of the road for a total of
fifty-two feet from curb to curb. This would allow for two separate traffic
alternatives:
(a) The addition of a center turn lane the entire length of Front Street
without affecting the existing on-street parking
(b) Four eleven-foot lanes of traffic, two in each direction, allowing for
parking on only one side of Front Street.
(The previously discussed diagonal parking on Front Street will only be effective
with this recommendation).
22
(3) The widening of Front Street will cause the elimination of on-street
parking in front of two buildings, the Rancon Building and Western Lumber. At
these two areas, to widen Front Street more than two feet would interfere with the
existing structures.
(4) According to the Riverside County Road Department, one building
(Western Lumber) has been partially constructed in the legal right. of-way of Front
Street. This illegal construction was apparently pointed out to the Riverside County
Planning Department by the Road Department, but the Planning Department took
no corrective action. Today foot traffic is, for all intents and purposes, either
restricted or completely stopped by the southeast end of the Western Lumber
Building protruding into the right-of-way. This problem is not a major problem
today, but we are designing a traffic pattern for the future. Therefore, this problem
must be addressed today in order to have a viable traffic solution in the future.
Riverside County Planning Department should address their previous mistake and
require Western Lumber to remove their building from the right-of-way.
(It should be pointed out that if this mistake is not corrected and adequate
sidewalks beside Western Lumber are constructed, Front Street will become
misaligned, requiring a sharp change in direction at that point.)
· TRAffIC RESTRICTIONS
Existing: There are no traffic restrictions in Old Town Temecula.
Planned: There are no planned traffic restrictions according to County Road
Department.
Problems: Without traffic restrictions the existing traffic flow problems cannot be
mitigated.
Recommendations:
(1) Large trucks be restricted from Old Town Temecula, except for local
delivery, during the hours of 7.'00 a.m. and 6.'00 p.m, seven days a week. There are
three reasons for the truck restriction recommendation:
(a) Restricted parking availability is further reduced by the parking of
large trucks.
(b) Impaired visibility of both pedestrian and vehicle traffic due to
the visual restrictions caused by the large trucks parked on Front Street.
(c) The inherent dangers of large heavy trucks transgressing a highly
congested area.
23
BRIDGES
~: There is only one bridge in Old Town Temecula - Main Street between
Front Street and Pujol Street.
Plannell: According to the Riverside County Road Department, there are no new
bridges planned for Old Town Temecula.
Problems: As the population of Temecula and the surrounding area grows, there
will be need for greater access across the Murrieta Creek then presently exists.
Recommendations: Riverside County Road Department plan additional bridges
across the Murrieta Creek to keep up with population growth.
CURBING AND SIDEWALKS
Curbing and sidewalks, in addition to other purposes, are used to direct and control
foot traffic. In addition, this area serves as a separation between vehicle and
pedestrian congestion.
Existinit: The current curbing and sidewalks vary from concrete to asphalt to none
at all. The majority of Front Street has a sidewalk and all of Front Street has a
culb.
Planned: Riverside County Road Department does not have any plans to add
additional sidewalks or curbing. Any additions are usually made as required when a
new building is built or changed.
ProblemS: The current system does not fail current foot traffic, however increased
congestion will cause a safety problem without better control. There are a number
of areas in Old Town Temecula that do not have curbs.
Recommendations:
(1) For safety's sake, all high foot traffic areas should be curbed with
sidewalks. These areas include:
(a) 6th Street - N/E and S/E.
(b) 5th Street2 N/E and S/E.
(c) 2nd Street - N/F.
(2) If Front Street is widened at The Bank and The Shire to allow for
diagonal parking, the original granite curbing will be exposed. This historic curbing
is now mostly covered by modern day concrete and asphalt.
(3) All wood sidewalks should be well maintained.

UTILITIES AND FACILITIES
The future development of Old Town Temecula is both aided and constrained by
the availability of utilities and facilities. This section of the report provides an
elaboration of the utilities and facilities available within the community, indicating
problem areas and possible solutions.
FLOOD CONTROL
Old Town Temecula's western border is the Murrieta Creek, which joins with the
Temecula Creek south of the Old Town Temecula boundary to form the Santa
Margarita River. While flooding is not a normal occurence in Temecula, there have
been moments in history that found the Murrieta Creek overflowing its environs
and coming to within a foot of the Main Street bridge roadbed. As development
increases along the Murrieta Creek watershed, replacing the natural watershed with
parking lots, roads and buildings, the potential for future flooding increases. The
last heavy rain in the area was in 1980, but the 100 year record flood is long overdue.
~: Within the boundaries of Old Town Temecula there are no existing active
flood control devices. Riverside County zoning prohibits habitation along the
banks of the Murrieta Creek.
planned: Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted the Master Drainage Plan
for the Murrieta Creek Area (Exhibit E) in 1986. It covers the flood plain from
Wildomar to the San Margarita River. All property within the boundaries of the
flood control area is assessed a drainage fee of from $280 to $'2,600 per acre, which
goes into a Flood Control Fund for the area. The plan calls for the construction of
a concrete lining along the waterways to prevent flooding over the banks.
Temccula lies within Zone 7 of the Flood Control District. Meetings are held each
January to determine the priority of projects within the area.
Problems: No work has been scheduled affecting Old Town Temecula to this date.
The initial planning is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 1988. It will be at least
two to three years before any flood work begins. Since much of the land adjacent
to Murrieta Creek is undeveloped, the priority for flood control projects should be
in the inhabited areas. Additional problems relate to street and storm drainage. As
new construction takes I~lace within the confines of Old Town Temecula, drainage
will need to be considered and improved.

~ The existing street lighting system is in place primarily along Front Street.
The system extends for 200 feet north of Sixth Street to 100 feet north of First
Street. The light stands are approximately 160 feet apart. The physical location of
the lights are:
(1) Front Street 28 lights,
(2) Third Street 2 lights,
(3) Main Street 5 lights.
(4) Fourth Street I light,
(5) Sixth Street 1 light
(6) Storage Yard in Perris
100 lights (approximate).
p];lnned: None.
problemS: There are several locations without street lighting, primarily along the
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Streets, Lights should be uniform throughout the Old
Town Temecula area.
Recommendations: The lighting district should place additional lights along all
streets in Old Town Temecu]a using the same type stands as before.
Representatives of the Temecula Town Association and the Old Town Temeeula
Merchants Association should take immediate action to request the lighting district
to install additional lights.
WATER
Rancho California Water District provides retail water service to Old Town
Temecula.
Existine: The current water system is completely in place within the Old Town
Temecula area and appears adequate. It was installed during the late 1960's and
early 1970's. An additional eighteen inch line was completed in 1987 along Pujol
Street to handle any expanded need.
Planned: There are currently no further plans for water in Old Town Temecula.
Problems: None.
Recommendations: The Rancho California Water District should monitor the pace
of construction in Old Town Temecula and adjacent areas and plan for future
needs.
SEWAGE SYSTEM
The Eastern Municipal Water District manages sewage collection and treatment for
Old Town Temecula.
Existing: The sewage system was installed in the late 1960's and early 1970's in Old
Town Temecula and appears adequate. Eastern Municipal Water District is
expanding their sewage treatment capability outside of Old Town Temecula to meet
the growth of the area.
planned: None.
Problems: None.
Recommendations: None.
PUBLIC RESTROOMS
To enhance the economic viability of Old Town Temecula, tourism has become a
major influence. One of the pressing needs of tourists who travel to Temecula is
the availability of public restroom facilities.
Existing: None.
Planned: None.
Problems: The lack of public restroom facilities is one of the major factors
affecting the number of people who will travel to Old Town Temecula to look and
shop. At the present, the public must depend upon the local shop owners to provide
restroom facilities, not offered by many. The problem of maintaining public
restroom facilities without a responsible organization is difficult. To withstand the
abuses public restrooms receive, they must be constructed of extra sturdy material
and be as maintenance free as possible.
Recommendations:
(1) As a temporary measure, the Old Town Temecula merchants, possibly
through the Old Town Temecula Merchants Association, provide portable toilets
strategically placed for the roving population.
(2) Standard module restroom facilities be adopted for construction (see
Exhibit F). These modules could be placed in central locations such as:
(a) South - either between the Swing Inn Care and Franks Meats or
behind the Long Branch Saloon.
(b) Center - in the rear of Texas Lil's parking lot.
(c) North - in Sam Hicks Monument Park or on adjacent land. If the Old Town
Temecula Museum is relocated to Sam Hicks Monument Park, it could possibly
house public restrooms.
29
(3) If parking lots are constructed in Old Town Temecula, the above
modules could be included on the parking lot property.
PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAINS
As with public restrooms, public water fountains are the type of facilities that are
expected by tourists who can bring economic viability to Old Town Temecula.
Existing. None.
Planned: None.
problems: There are no public water fountains in Old Town Temecula. Some
merchants who sell cold beverages are not in favor of public water fountains.
Water fountains are also difficult to maintain in a sanitary condition and are
subject to vandalism.
Recommendations:
(1) RanCho California Water District be asked to provide public water
fountains in Old Town Temecula as a public service/public relations effort.
(2) Local businesses be encouraged to provide cold water to the public
through old style water barrel containers that meet the Riverside County Health
Standards.
(3) If module restrooms are constructed, include water fountains as part of
the module.
PUBLIC TELEPHONES
Public telephones are another facility required by the touring public.
Existing,: GTE has installed public telephones at the Temecula Market, Swing Inn
Care, the Bank, and Wedeking's Bakery.
Planned: None.
Problems: Since public telephones are only available at four locations, additional
telephones need to be installed.
Recommendations: The Old Town Temecula Merchants Association poll its
members to determine the best location for additional telephones. A call to GTE at
1-800-221-3881 will cause a consultant to study the location and determine if GTE
will install the telephone without charge.
CABLE TELEVISION
Merchants and residents of Old Town Temecula need the services of cable
television if they wish to operate television sets in their businesses or homes.
~: Vu-West Communications provides cable television service to Old Town
Temecula. Cables were buried underground in Old Town Temecula in 1~7, allowing
all who wish to connect to do so.
planned: None.
problems: None.
Recommendations: None.

Street SWeeping - "Old Town"
cc: June Greek
I have made contact with representatives from Apollo Sweeping Company Incorporated in
regards to concerns of lack of street sweeping in "Old Town". They have assured me that
"Old Town" is swept every Sunday night at approximately 11:00 p.m.
Mr. Dixon, per our conversation on August 10th, 1992, I have pointed out in detail what the
concerns were, and again Apollo Sweeping Company Inc. has assured me they will address
these concerns in a timely fashion.
If you require any more information or if I can be of any assistance please feel free to contact
me at extension 184.
