Chairman Perry asked for comments from the Police Department representative. Sergeant Domenoe said the first concern would be whether closure delayed response time of emergency services however, it is felt that could be mitigated. Sergeant Domenoe said he understands the safety concerns expressed regarding the steep grade and the narrow road width however, he could not make a recommendation to open or not open the street. Commissioner Guerriero said he is not in favor of opening Kahwea Road. He said opening the road will not shorten trips throughout Temecula and everyone will be negatively impacted if the street is opened. Commissioner Johnson concurred with Commissioner Guerriero. Commissioner Coe said he feels the speed limits along Del Rey Road and Via Norte should be decreased to 25 mph. He stated he did not feel opening Kahwea Road would increase the overall traffic to Meadowview and it could possibly decrease the traffic on Calle Pina Colaria and Avenida Barca. Commissioner Sander said without a network of arterial roads, he could not support the opening of Kahwea Road. Chairman Perry said although he believes the City should have open traffic routes, he can not support the opening of Kahwea Road at this time. Chairman Perry said if the opening of the road were attached to the completed improvements of Via Norte, Del Rey Road and to Kahwea Road, he could support the opening. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to deny staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council permanent closure of Kahwea Road and installation of traversable type barriers, to accommodate emergency vehicles only at the closure.

(Ord. 92-17 § I (12.01.040)) 29 ITEM NO. 3 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Marty Lauber, Traffic Engineer ~ DATE: March 24, 1994 SUBJECT: Item 3 Restricting Trucks Over Three (3) Tons From Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend to City Council to restrict trucks over three (3) tons from Rainbow Canyon Road. BACKGROUND: The Traffic Division of the Public Works Department has been requested by Commissioner Coe to investigate limiting truck traffic on Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road. Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road are both north-south collector streets starting in San Diego County in the south, and cross Riverside County before entering Temecula. In order to create either restriction both Counties were contacted. In both cases it would be wrong to post signs at our City boundary without providing the appropriate turn around areas. Rainbow Canyon Road is located just east of Interstate 15 (I-15) which will serve as an alternate route for all restricted trucks. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was also contacted regarding trucks using Rainbow Canyon Road as a by-pass to the truck scales on I-15. The CHP supports the imposition of a weight limit on Rainbow Canyon Road. In November 1990, the San Diego County Traffic Advisory Committee approved limiting truck traffic on Pala Road within San Diego County. This decision was repealed in September, 1991 because the Pala Band of Mission Indians challenged the initial approval. They claimed that this restriction would result in excessive out-of-direction travel, and the Committee agreed. Staff recommends posting Rainbow Canyon Road to restrict trucks over three (3) tons. San Diego County has supported our efforts by allowing us to post the restriction in that County for northbound trucks. Additional signs will need to also be posted in Temecula for south bound trucks. Staff also recommends denying the request to restrict Pala Road based on previous actions taken by San Diego County.

(OK[. 90-20 § 1 12.06,040)) 180 ITEM NO. 4 AGENDA REPORT TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission FROM: Marry Lauber, Traffic Engineer DATE: March 24, 1994 SUBJECT: Item 4 Traffic Operations Adjacent to the Temecula Community Recreation Center and Rancho California Sports Park RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission approve the re-striping of Rancho Vista Road from Margarita Road to 415 feet west of Southern Cross Road and to establish a limited time parking zone on the west side of Margarita Road between Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road. BACKGROUND: The Public/Traffic Safety Commission requested staff to investigate future traffic operations on Rancho Vista Road and Margarita Road adjacent to the Temecula Community Recreation Center (CRC} and Rancho California Sports Park. Commission concerns included parking, left turn lanes and pedestrian controls because of the opening of the CRC. Rancho Vista Road currently is a fully improved secondary roadway with a curb to curb width of 64 feet. It is currently striped for three (3) lanes (two eastbound and one westbound), two (2) bike lanes and parking on both sides. There are no left turn pockets for Argo Court, Southern Cross Road, or any driveways to the park site. Currently there are 174 parking spaces provided adjacent to Rancho Vista Road at the existing ball fields. An additional 296 spaces have been built for the new CRC and approximately 300 more are planned for the southwest corner of Margarita Road and Rancho Vista Road. The west side of Margarita Road adjacent to the ball fields currently has approximately 1,050 feet of parking (approximately 44 parking spaces). The ultimate striping for a secondary roadway consists of four (4) through lanes, a center island and two (2) bike lanes as exists east of Margarita Road. The painted median area is provided for left turn storage at intersections and no parking is allowed. In order to provide three (3) additional left turn pockets and provide 440 linear feet of on street parking, two (2) different striping patterns will be utilized with transition between them as shown on Exhibit "A". Left turns could be restricted from all driveways except one (1) if it is desired. Exhibit "B" shows those changes proposed for Margarita Road which includes adding over 550 feet of parking (approximately 24 parking spaces) and a limit time parking restriction from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays. To insure proper speed limit posting, a traffic and engineering survey will be conducted approximately one (1) month after re-striping to see if the critical speed changes significantly enough to effect the posted limit. r:\traffie%commlsen\agenda\94\0324 03124/94/ajp FISCAL IMPACT: 4" Skip White - 6,060 I.f. @ $.045 = $272.70 6" Solid White - 5,330 I.f @ $.060 = $319.80 6" Skip White - 600 I.f. @ $.060 = $360.00 8" Solid White - 470 I.f. @ $.095 = $446.50 Double Yellow - 4,4301.f. @ $.125 = $553.75 Bike Lane Legends - 9 @ $28.00 = $252.00 Arrow Legends - 7 @ $7.00 -- $49.00 Lane Drop Arrows - 3 @ $7.00 = $21.00 Speed Limit Legends - 4 @ $12.00 = $48.00 Sandblasting- 5,450 Sq.

BACKGROUND: The Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has received a request to eliminate parking on Rancho California Road adjacent to Lyndia Lane. The resident complained that parked vehicles on the north side of Rancho California Road obstruct visibility when looking east from Lyndia Lane. Traffic Division Staff has investigated the location to see if parked vehicles could create an obstruction which could be alleviated by imposing a parking restriction. We also ensured that existing off-street parking would meet the demand created by displaced vehicles. Our research revealed that vehicles parking on Rancho California Road, east of Lyndia Lane stop to shop at the Quick Mart. This development was not required to provide pedestrian access from the sidewalk adjacent to Rancho California Road. The Quik Mart parking lot appears to be only partially utilized and can handle any displaced vehicles. By restricting parking on Rancho California Road sufficient sight distance is provided at Lyndia Lane. Displaced vehicles will be able to park in the existing parking lot provided by the development.

BACKGROUND: The Traffic Division has received a request to post "No Parking" on Palma Drive and Vallejo Avenue across from the Rancho Community Church. Cars have been reported to park off of the roadway in an existing grass drainage swale. Palma Drive is a residential cul-de-sac with a twenty-four (24) foot width and is about 320 feet long. Vallejo Avenue is also a local street twenty-four(24) feet wide except adjacent to the Rancho Community Church where it has been partially improved to thirty-six (36) feet wide. Twenty-four (24) feet are required to provide for two through lanes without parking. The additional twelve (12) feet adjacent to the Church allows for parking on one side of Vallejo Avenue only. Staff investigated the parking situation and found that although the Church parking lot was not being fully utilized, vehicles continue to park across from the Church. These vehicle partially restrict available pavement for through movements and destroy the existing erosion control planting maintained by the adjacent property owner. In order to properly utilize the existing roadways and not destroy needed erosion controls planting, staff recommends restricting parking from the partially improved roadways of Palma Drive and Vallejo Avenue as shown on Exhibit "A".

Dixon City Manager (909) 694-1989 FAX (909) 694-1999 City Council Ron Bradley / City Manager Public/Traffic Safety Commission From: Rick Sayre Police Chief Date: March 15, 1994 Re: POLICE ACTIVITY REPORT FOR 1993 The following report reflects the Part I Crimes, Traffic Activity, and miscellaneous activity occurring in the City of Temecula during the year of 1993. As in regular monthly reports the Part One Stats are broken down by individual districts within the City. This provides a greater understanding of the criminal activity within the City for police staff deployment and for Council / Commission interest. The overall picture presented by the report shows that crime was not as serious a problem in Temecula as perhaps found in other areas. It would be foolish to indicate that the issue is not one that requires constant attention and concern, however I do believe it needs to be put into perspective. Page 2 of the report shows that over half of the robberies were strong arm. This is when a person takes something from another by force without the use of a weapon. All rapes are violent crimes, where the offender needs to be dealt with in a serious and swift manner. There are common denominators in the majority of the rapes reported in 1993: adult suspect, minor victim, both knew one another, alcohol was involved, and there had been a party sometime in the previous twelve hours. The homicides, all solved, were; the officer incident and the elderly man murdered by the helper. involved former Burglary was the same as last year. in auto theft. A strong reduction noted. There was a slight decrease in the grand theft area is An interesting and predictable fact is that traffic cites for hazardous violations went down and traffic accidents went up. The number of driving under the influence arrests is slightly lower. The traffic accident issue will be monitored through 1994. Lynn Fanene did an outstanding job with gaining business community compliance with the graffiti ordinance this year. During 1994 he will be working on compliance with the business license requirement. The issues of false alarms is going to have to be addressed through a false alarm ordinance. The number of false alarms for 1993 was 3104. At 15 minute per call this equals 776 staff hours a year used to respond to the calls. The number of felony arrests were up, and other arrests down. Drug arrests were generally up, this I attribute to training and skill levels being elevated. Again this year the law enforcement program was well under budget. The incident tracking system that has produced the stats since incorporation has remained the same. No changes happened that would alter the numbers. If errors exist they are the same as in the previous years. As you know the report is merely one of many tools used in judging the safety of the community. The monthly report for February 1994 will be included in next months report. I am pleased with the end of year report. The community should be proud of itself.

M. HARRIS HRE CHIEF RIVERSIDE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT 210 WEST SAN JACINTO AVENUE · PERRIS, CALIFORNIA 92570 · (909) 657-3183 February 19, 1994 TO : Attn. : Re. : Temecula City Council Temecula Public Safety Commission Mr. David Dixon Temeeula City Manager TEMECULA FIRE SERVICES 1993 Year End Report This information is provided as a year end summary of the activities of the Temecula Fire Services during calendar year 1993. Temecula Fire units and personnel responded to a total of 3,460 incidents during 1993. This is an increase of 8.9% over the number of 1992 incident responses. The avera~,e increase in annual incident responses has been 10.7% per year for the past 4 years. Medical aid responses continue to account for a full 42% of our total emergency work load. This is virtually the same percentage as 1992. The extended fire season and Santanna wind conditions helped to increase the total number of vegetation fires to 7% above last year though minimal damage was sustained within the City of Temecula. The number of structure fires to which we were dispatched increased by 67% over last year, but there was not any significant change in structural fire damage. Though operating without a dedicated fire prevention captain, the department continued to provide basic fire prevention services. Special public events were pre-inspected for everyones safety. Many of our children were taught the basic fire safety rules through our school presentations. With the addition of a fire safety specialist to the City staff, commercial building plans, tenant improvements, and changes of occupancy were processed more efficiently. The other fire prevention activities, commercial fire safety inspections, weed abatement, fire extinguisher classes for local manufacturers employees, all proceeded as planned. Page two There were 2200 commercial fire safety inspections conducted by the fire station personnel in 1993. Weed abatement inspections totaled 647 parcds or 85 % more than in 1992. A new computer program also provided improved documentation and tracking of the inspection process. A total of 132 parcels required clearing by the approved city contractors. That is about 20% of the total number of parcels inspected. During 1993, your fire department volunteers purchased a new rescue squad to serve the community. Full medical, traffic collision, and swiftwater rescue equipment is carried in this vehicle and is staffed by our volunteers. The volunteers supplement the paid staff and continue to assist in providing cost effective service. More paid and volunteer staff were trained for swiftwater rescue operations. Additional water rescue gear was recently issued to our fire stations. As always, the routine fire, medical, hazmat, public service, and fire menace standby responses were handled dally. But there were some noteworthy incidents that we as a city dealt with in 1993. In January, Temecula experienced flooding conditions which required the implementation of a full scale major incident organization. Law enforcement, fire, public works, finance, building and safety, and other city and fire department functions had to adapt and work together as a team to mitigate the immediate flood problems. Past disaster drills which included city staff had paid off in a relatively smooth operation. Injury and property damage were minor compared to the potential that existed. Proper record keeping allowed prompt reimbursement to the city by FEMA to help offset some of the costs of the emergency flood operations. In March, units responded to a gas pump fire at the Mobil station located at Front and Del Rio. Fire department units on scene encountered a fire fueled by the leaking gasoline. After several minutes, the very stubborn fire was extinguished. A customer paid his bill but drove away without removing the dispenser nozzle. This caused the entire pump to be yanked from its based and dragged about 15 feet. No one was injured and property damage was minor. The month of April saw a condominium fire at 44671 La Paz off of Highway 79 South. First in units discovered a fully involved garage just beginning to impinge into the living area of the condo. The fire was quickly suppressed with no damage to the living quarters or surrounding condo units. As fire season began, a grass fire erupted east of Moraga and south of Margarita Roads. The fire spread very quickly through the dry grass and burned a 75 foot length of redwood fencing bordering the back yards of residents living on Humher Drive. The fire was contained at 16 acres with no injuries or further significant fire damage. In October, some of our local fire units were dispatched to the Winchester Fire. This fire burned toward Temecula at a frightening pace, eventually scorching 25,000 acres. Many homes in the French Valley area were saved and the fire was kept from getting any closer to Temecula. In December, the Winchester bridge HAZMAT fire incident occurred which tasked the fire service' s and other jurisdictional agencies ability to deal with hazardous material situations. Page three In 1994, we will continue to address pertinent public safety issues. More fire suppression personnel will be required to be certified as swiftwater rescue first responders to further enhance our water rescue capabilities. With the approach of the Africanized bees, we are issuing specific standard operating procedures to our fire personnel explaining how to rescue anyone who will be attacked by these very aggressive swarms. Special bee protective equipment is beginning to be issued to the field at this time. We continue to monitor civil unrest potential in our geographical region and have trained in specialized techniques to be able to serve the public during times of civil unrest while protecting our personnel. We will strive to continue aggressive weed abatement measures within our community and provide fire safety training to as many of our children as we can. The construction of two additional fire stations in our community are planned for 1994 as well. The City of Temecula will construct a new fire station on the east side of I-15, located centrally to enhance emergency response times within the City. Coverage during disasters will be improved as well. The Riverside County Fire Department plans to build the French Valley Fire Station at the airport, in the City of Temecula's sphere of influence. This will provide more close resources to support public safety. As the year unfolds, we plan to continue to deliver a professional, courteous, responsive, and cost effective fire service for the City of Temecula. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding your fire services. J. M.

All emergency incidents in the City were routine in nature. Overall, emergency calls were down about 8.5 % in February compared to January's activity. Station personnel continued with their daily fire prevention inspection and public relations duties. Both an engine company and the ladder truck visited Margarita Middle School for both consecutive career days activities. Two hundred and three commercial fire safety inspections were conducted by station personnel this month. Battalion State funded personnel are beginning to gear up for our annual LE-38 (Dooryard Fire Safety Inspections) Program. This will begin in the area around the City limits and in our area of influence. Actual inspections begin in April. In addition, City weed abatement activities will begin in the near future as well. Please call if you have any questions or concerns regarding City of Temecula Fire Services. Thank you. By: J. M.
