All of the undersigned are the twenty-three owners that are on both
sides of this street. We have all agreed that the traffic would be
abusive and create a major thoroughfare from the people around
Calle Meduza that want to get to Margarita Road. The streets are
extremely narrow and will create a hazard for our children.

Additional Justifications for Preservin~ the Meadowview Community
Meadowview, as a community, was developed some 23 years ago. In
its original development plans it never took into consideration
future high density growth surrounding the rural atmosphere that
Meadowview residents appreciate.
These roads are extremely narrow, without sidewalks, without street
lighting.
There is a lot of horse traffic where additional automotive traffic
would tend to spook these animals and could cause the children
riding them great harm.
I have taken a poll and there are approximately 60 + children that
are going to be living on this street when it is developed out.
Talking with mothers that live on Del Rey and Via Norte, they have
a hard time backing out of their driveways in order to take their
children to school in the morning.
The reason why people have bought in Meadowview versus a sub-
division is so that they can enjoy the rural atmosphere that
Meadowview has to offer.
By making Kahwea a through road it is going to pull the traffic
from Calle Medusa to Margarita via Kahwea/Del Rey roads.
These are our considerations and think that Kahwea Road should also
be closed to through traffic.

Item 5
Transportation Demand Management/Air Quality Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Traffic and Transportation CommissiOn review the attached Transportation Demand
Management/Air Quality Ordinance and recommend adoption to the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Ordinance represents the minimum requirements the City must meet to ensure
compliance with the Congestion Management Plan as established by the Riverside County
Transportation Commission and the Air Quality Management Plan as developed by the
Southern California Association of Governments and the Air Quality Management District.
The Ordinance was reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 16, and their changes
have been incorporated in the attached Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
When Proposition 111 passed in June, 1990, it established a process for each metropolitan
county in California, including Riverside, to designate a Congestion Management Agency
(CMA) to prepare a Congestion Management Program (CMP). In 1990, the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC), was designated as the CMA for Riverside County in
accordance with CMP legislation (AB 471 and AB 1791 amendments). Since that time, RCTC
prepared its first CMP in coordination with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), the
TAC CMP Subcommittee, the Western Riverside County Association of Governments
(WRCOG), and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). The CMP was
adopted by the Commission in September, 1991.
The legislation established a number of new requirements governing the statewide process
for planning and funding transportation improvements. The bills provide mechanisms to
enhance the maintenance and improvement of local roads and highways and they emphasize
-1- pw01\traffic\commissn\agenda\1202 1123
funding transportation improvements, Further, they also emphasize funding for mass transit
and congestion relief programs.
Specifically, the CMP component is an effort to more directly link land use, transportation, and
air quality, thereby prompting reasonable growth management programs that will more
effectively utilize new transportation funds, alleviate traffic congestion and related impacts,
and improve air quality.
Section 65089(b)(3) of the Government Code requires: "A trip reduction and travel demand
element that promotes alternative transportation methods, such as carpools, vanpools, transit,
bicycles, and park-and-ride lots; improvements in the balance between jobs and housing; and
other strategies, including flexible work hours and parking management programs."
Section 65089.3(a) further requires that: "The CMA annually monitor the county and cities
to insure that they are conforming to the Congestion Management Program, including, but not
limited to adoption and implementation of a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance." The
deadline for local agencies to adopt a TDM ordinance is December 31, 1992.
The WRCOG of which Temecula is a member has prepared the attached model ordinance for
its member agencies to consider. It should be noted that this model ordinance is simply that,
a model that each local agency may modify to suit their own needs and requirements. This
ordinance establishes compliance with the minimum requirements of the CMP and the Air
Quality Management Plan,
FISCAL IMPACT:
A review fee will need to be established to reimburse the City for costs associated with
reviewing and monitoring the plans.

AIR QUALIFY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW
WHERE DO THE REQIf/REMENTS COME FROM?
Federal and State Clean Air Acts mandate adoption of air quality;plans for each
air basin which does not conform to air quality standard&
SCAG and AQMD have adopted an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP)
which presumes specific actions on the part of local governments (Transportation
Control Measures or 'TCM's '9. ,. ,' '
State law requires Congestion Management Agencies to adopt Congestion
Management Programs which include TDM Elements. Local agencies mast
comply with these elements to be eligible for Prop Ill funds.
AIR QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
o Preserve local government authority to manage growth within the region.
o Provide local government with reasonable options with which to respond to
federal, state and regional air quality planning requirements
o Insure that local infrastructure (e.g. transportation facilities) are not
cornpromised by Air Quality Management PIan'(AQMP) Conformity requirementft..
o Avoid duplication of effort between jurisdictions and subregional agencies within
the WRCOG Region. "
WItAT'S AT STAKE?
o Funding for Transportation Improvement Programs (1992-99).
o Infrastructure needed to support growth (e.g. wastewater treatment plants).
o Local authority to manage growth within the region.
LOCAL GOVERNME/q'T ACTION REQUESTED
o Adopt TDM ordinance which meets minimum CMP and AQMP requirements.
o Adopt Resolution of Participation for first phase AQ1P.
AQIP SIX POINT FIRST PHASE LOCAL ACTION PROGRAM
ENDORSE REGIONAL AIR QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
POLICIES
Regional policies have been developed by WRCOG Air Quality Coordinating Committee
to serve as guidance for regional programs designed to meet federal, state and regional
air quality planning requirements. Local governments are asked to adopt resolutions
endorsing these policies.
ENACT LOCAL .TDM ORDINANCES
The Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and Congestion Management Program (CMP)
require that local governments adopt TDM ordinances consistent with these two
programs. WRCOG and RCTC have adopted model ordinances to guide local
governments in preparing city and County ordinances.
PROMOTE VOLUNTARY PUBLIC/PRIVATE PROGRAMS
Regional air quality plans require local actions which extend beyond current AQMD
requirements for employers of 100 or more. Local governments are asked to promote
programs within local government and the private sector which extend implementation
of Air Quality Transportation Control Measures (TCM's) beyond the '100 employee"
threshoM on a voluntary basis.
DEVELOP TRIP REDUCTION PROGRAIMS FOR LOCAL GOVERN1VIENT
E1VIPLOYEES
This requirement wouM directly implement AQMP TCM's requiring local governments
to develop trip reduction programs for government employees.
ASSIST SUBREGIONAL AGENCIES IN PREPARING CONFORMITY FI/N'DINGS
Local governments are asked to record actions taken to implement the regional Air
Quality Management Plan so that periodic implementation reports can be prepared by
WRCOG.
PARTICIPATE IN DEVELOPMENT OF SUBREGIONAL DETAILED
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIE,$ (DIS)
Regional air quality planning agencies have provided local government with the option
of developing local implementation plans which meet local needs and fit local
requirements. WRCOG is recommending that such 151ans be developed to permit local
governments the opportunity to develop realistic measures and programs that can be
implemented within the region.
REASONS FOR ADOPTING LOCAL AIR QUALITY PLANS
PRESERVES LOCAL AUTHORITY TO MANAGE GROWTH
o Delegates conformity review for "regionally significant"plans andprojects to the
local level.
o Provides highways, wastewater systems, etc. needed to support growth.
o Avoids preemptive "rules" or regional implementation plans by federal, state or
regional agencies.
Permits local jurisdictions to develop measures which fit local needs rather than
having to accept measures crafted at the state and regional level.
Minimizes federal, state and regional scrutiny of local plan and project reviews
by maintaining a structured response to air quality related environmental issues.
AVOIDS POTENTIAL LEGAL CHALLENGES
Increases the credibility of plan and project level environmental documentation
by tiering on program level E1R's prepared at the regional level..
Insures that infrastructure can be built to support growth and meet state planning
requirements.

SUBJECT:
Traffic & Transportation Commission
Gary Thornhill, Director of Planning
December 2, 1992
Item 6
Circulation Alternatives for the Old Town Specific Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Traffic and Transportation Commission review the Alternative Circulation Plan
Options for the Old Town Area and provide the Commission's concerns and comments to the
Old Town Steering Committee.
DISCUSSION:
The attached circulation system options for the Old Town Specific Plan were developed by
the Old Town Steering Committee (OTSC) at its October 15, 1992, meeting. The Alternative
Circulation Plan Options are intended to accomplish the following:
· To redirect citywide through-traffic around Old Town.
· To provide "planned congestion" in the Tourist Retail Core of Old Town.
· To provide alternative routes in and around the area prior to the completion of
the western bypass.
· To improve the circulation within the area for local residents.
· To replace the currently undersized and unsafe Main Street bridge.
In addition to the two circulation options which are attached to this Agenda Report; a copy
of the OTSC's preferred Land Use Plan is included in Attachment 1. The two circulation
options are contained in Attachment 2.
OLDTOWN\OTCIRCTC.AR
BACKGROUND:
The OTSC developed two circulation options for the Old Town area at it's October, 1992
meeting based upon the traffic and parking analysis performed by John Kain and Robert Kahn
Associates. The two options represent a single alternative with two potential variations for
one component of the system. The major components of this alternative circulation system
are consistent with the draft General Plan. The recommended circulation plan consists of the
following:
The extension of Santiago Road across Murrieta Creek to the Western Bypass
Corridor;
The construction of a new local serving bridge across Murrieta Creek in the
vicinity of Sixth Street;
3. The replacement of the Main Street vehicle bridge with a pedestrian bridge;
The realignment of the intersection of Diaz and Rancho California Roads and
the extension of Felix Valdez Avenue to create a four-way intersection; and,
The connection of Felix Valdez Avenue and Pujol Street as a collector street
between Rancho California and Santiago Roads.
The only difference between the two options is, how item number 5 above is accomplished.
Option 1 envisions the use of the current alignment for Felix Valdez Avenue and Pujol Street
with a minor realignment at Sixth Street to eliminate the 90° curves. Option 2 envisions the
extension of Felix Valdez Avenue along the southern edge of Murrieta Creek between Sixth
Street and Santiago Road.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
Attachments:
1. Preferred Land Use Plan for the Old Town Specific Plan
