Commissioner Chiniaeff advised that he would be abstaining with regard to this Agenda
item, and therefore left the meeting at this time.
For the record, Commissioner Webster noted that within the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) that was associated with this project, he had been referenced as an
informational source with respect to water facilities.
Staff presented the project plan, as follows:
Associate Planner Donahoe provided a detailed overview of the Wolf Creek Project (of
record), noting the four portions of the proposal which were before the Commission for
review, namely: the Specific Plan, as a whole, the EIR with the addendum and the
Mitigation Monitoring Program, the General Plan Amendment which reallocates the
General Plan designations on the site to comply with the Specific Plan, and lastly the
Tentative Tract Map which divides the planning areas; reviewed the Wolf Creek Specific
Plan which encompassed 557 acres, specifying the location, the surrounding
communities and uses, relaying that the applicant would provide a PowerPoint
presentation detailing the Specific Plan; presented data regarding the Village Center
portion of the project, noting staffs efforts with the applicant to develop the Village
Center concept, specifying the location within the project of the two commercial areas,
the school site, the community park, the public facilities, the proposed linkage elements,
the inter loop road, the linear park, the bicycle path, the activity nodes and smaller park
sites, providing additional information regarding the proposed amenities in this specific
area; noted the proposed drainage greenbelt with landscaping which would run the
entire length of the project along Pala Road; relayed the proposed plan to extend Kent
Hindergardt Park and to add additional parking; noted the design of the residential
elements to open out into the existing trail system; relayed that the applicant has
proposed to phase the project, advising that additional information would be provided by
Director of Public Works Hughes at which time the infrastructure and phasing of the road
improvements would be addressed; noted the proposed General Plan amendment,
presenting the existing and proposed designations, relaying that the amendment was a
reallocation of the location of the designations in order to reflect the Specific Plan;
referencing the agenda material, specified various proposed amenities; noted that there
was a senior housing component within Planning Area No. 18, relaying that the applicant
has provided Design Guidelines and Standards to build a senior component, noting that
there would be pedestrian access to the commercial area; relayed that the project
proposed a full range of residential product, noting staff's efforts with the applicant to
develop Architectural Guidelines within the Specific Plan Design Guidelines, relaying
that numerous past recommendations of the Commission have been implemented into
the Design Guidelines (i.e., a mix of one-and two-story elements, varied roof forms,
structural enhancements1 four-sided articulation); noted staff's initial concern regarding
the small-sized lots of 4,000 and 4,500 square feet, relaying that staff had since worked
with the applicant to develop a zoning matrix which would require that those specific lot
sizes provide 800 square feet of rear-yard private recreational space; noted that a final
EIR had been prepared, relaying that the firm representatives (who prepared the
document) were available for questions from the Commission, and that the traffic
engineer who prepared the traffic study was available for questions; noted the
supplemental agenda material which was inclusive of recently received
correspondences regarding the project; and reiterated that Director of Public Works
Hughes would provide information regarding the infrastructure issues associated with
this particular project.
Director of Public Works Hughes provided an overview of the infrastructure components
of this particular proposal; noted that conditions, imposed on the project were stringent,
relaying staffs efforts to abide by the intent of the Growth Management Plan (GMP),
specifically with respect to provision of infrastructure prior to the issuance of building
permits in order to ensure that the impacts created by this project would be mitigated
prior to the impacts being shown on the existing street system; via maps, specified the
infrastructure improvements that will exist north and south of Wolf Valley Road, noting
that the applicant proposed to phase the development improvements within the Specific
Plan, relaying that the northern area improvements would be developed prior to the
southern improvements, clarifying that the northern improvements would be completed
prior to the issuance of building permits for this area, and in the same manner the
southern improvements would be in place prior to the issuance of building permits in the
southern area; relayed that as part of the northern improvements, the project has been
conditioned to widen Pala Road to six lanes from Loma Linda to Via Gilberto, noting that
further south from Via Gilberto to Wolf Valley Road, the applicant would be required to
improve this section of roadway to a four-lane arterial highway, advising that these
projects would complete the frontage improvements along Pala Road in the northern
portion, noting that this phase of improvements would be inclusive of the completion of
the intersection project at Wolf Valley Road/Pala Road; relayed that the interior loop
read, Loma Linda, and portions of Via Del Coronado would be required to be improved
with full half street improvements along the project area; relayed that it was anticipated
that off site (to the north of Loma Linda Road), there would be a four-lane improvement
project that could potentially precede the Wolf Creek Project's development plans, noting
that the City had completed interim design plans and was in the process of seeking
methods to complete these off-site improvements, advising that in the event that these
specific improvements were not completed off site, it would be the applicant's
responsibility to find a method of completing these improvements; with respect to Wolf
Valley Road, noted that from Pala Road to the easterly boundaries of the Specific Plan,
Wolf Valley Road would be required to be fully completed as part of the Phase I
infrastructure; relayed that prior to the 473rd building permit which would be the onset of
Phase II, the applicant would be required to have in place a funding and implementation
mechanism to identify the manner in which the off-site improvements to the north would
be completed which would be the 6-lane urban arterial improvements, noting the
rationale for this condition; reiterated that with respect to the interior loop street (from
Loma Linda Road to Wolf Valley Road), this road improvement would be included in
Phase I of the project; with respect to the drainage improvements from Loma Linda
Road to Wolf Valley Road, relayed that this improvement would also be encompassed in
the Phase I improvements; noted that an alternative condition of the Phase I
improvements would be to construct Pala Road as four lanes from Wolf Valley Road to
Fairview Road to serve as an interim improvement.
With respect to the Phase II infrastructure improvements, Director of Public Works
Hughes relayed that these improvements would be inclusive of the developer's phases
III and IV as far as building permits; noted that prior to the issuance of the first building
permit, the applicant would be required to complete Pala Road from Wolf Valley to
Fairview with full improvements as a four-lane arterial roadway inclusive of the curbs,
gutters, and additional amenities associated with this type of highway road; noted that
with respect to the interior loop road, the improvements from Pala Road to Wolf Valley
Road would need to be completed; relayed that the applicant would be required to build
the half street improvements on Fairview Road; noted that this project would be required
to be complete the drainage improvements from Wolf Valley Road to Fairview Road; for
information purposes, relayed that the City Council had awarded and the project was
well on its way with respect to the design of Pala Road which was inclusive of the full 6-
lane improvements from Highway 79 South up to Via Gilberto, and the four-lane design
from Via Gilberto to Fairview Road, advising that the mechanism for provision of
completing these specific projects would not have identification if this project did not go
forward, noting that contracts were lit in anticipation that a cooperative arrangement
would be made between the City, Pechanga, and the Wolf Creek Project; and relayed
that these identified improvements were more stringent than the Environmental
document suggests with regard to the impacts, advising that staff was of the opinion that
the improvements were consistent with the GMP.
The applicant's representatives provided an overview of this particular project, as
follows:
Mr. William Griffith, representing the applicant, presented an overview of the history of
the project, noting the rationale for the applicant acquiring the project site; relayed that
there were no environmental issues regarding this property which was an important
element in the balance of the community; noted the surrounding properties; advised that
the applicant's goal with respect to the Specific Plan was regarding community structure,
and with that element, community infrastructure; relayed that this particular project would
make a major contribution to the infrastructure in this portion of the City; noted the
integral part of the General Plan this property would fulfill when the proposal would be
implemented; relayed the desire to create a diversity of housing, inclusive of senior
housing, small lot development, and large lot development in order to provide vast
opportunities for this family-oriented community; advised that over 120 acres of the
project would be devoted to improved parks, paseos, grass-lined channels, school sites
and alternate facilities to benefit the families in the area; noted the applicant's efforts with
Associate Planner Donahoe, Director of Planning Ubnoske, Deputy City Manager
Thornhill, and alternate staff members for approximately the last two-year period,
expressing gratitude to staff for their input; and provided additional information regarding
the public meetings the applicant had held with the community.
Mr. Barry Burnell, representing the applicant, provided a PowerPoint presentation,
presenting the project site and surrounding properties; identified the roadways that
surround the project; noted the flat condition of the site; specified the Master Circulation
Plan and the access points to the various development areas; relayed the existing and
ongoing infrastructure improvements in the area; with respect to the drainage issues,
relayed this project's contribution to the underground facilities, and to the widening
project at Pala Road; presented the land use plan, inclusive of the commercial sites, the
access points, the Village Center, the private recreation facility, the community park, the
Fire Station, the schools, the multi-family center, relaying that the remainder of the
project encompassed varying densities of single-family housing; specified the location of
the neighborhood park, the potential High School site, the Middle School site, the
expansion of Kent Hindergardt Park, the greenbelt which would run across the entire
length of Pala Road; provided additional information regarding the Village Center and its
location within the project; with respect to pubic parks, detailed the proposed extensive
park and trails system, noting the opportunity for placement of large-sized trees; relayed
the key components of Phase I of the project plan inclusive of implementation, the
location of the small lot products and the larger lots, the parks, the private recreation
center, the linear park, the school sites, the Fire Station, and the Village Center inclusive
of the pedestrian plazas, and gathering places; and specified the linkage elements.
Staff and the applicant's representatives addressed the Commission's comments and
questions, as follows:
In response to Commissioner Webster's queries regarding the cul-de-sac length
designations, Fire Specialist Davidson provided additional information regarding cul-de-
sac lengths. Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that the Fire Departments's required
length would be reflected in the conditions.
For Commissioner Webster, Director of Public Works Hughes relayed that the geo-
technical impacts within the CEQA would be addressed by the Public Works Department
at a later date. Associate Planner Donahoe advised that the CEQA reports had been.
sent to the Riverside County geologist for review, providing additional information
regarding required setbacks on the southeast portion of the site. Deputy Director of
Public Works Parks reiterated that staff would further address the setbacks when the
subdivision plans were submitted.
In response to Commissioner Webster's queries regarding the status of the City's
Circulation Plan update, Director of Public Works Hughes noted that the Circulation
Element would be updated simultaneously with the General Plan update, relaying
information regarding the previous draft document that had been prepared which was
solely utilized for background information since it was not an officially approved
document at this time; with respect to Pala Road being widened to six lanes, advised
that per the existing General Plan roadway identifications, this requirement
encompassed the improvement on Pala Road 400 feet south of Loma Linda Road,
providing additional information regarding the proposed transition area.
For Commissioner Webster, Director of Public Works Hughes noted that this project was
not conditioned to participate in the physical improvements associated with the Ultimate
interchange improvements at the 1-15 and Highway 79 South, advising that the project
was required to participate in the overall mitigation fees, providing additional information;
noted the requirement of this project to verify the Level of Service (LOS) "D" was not
exceeded as development occurs; and relayed that there was not a condition restricting
building if the service was below LOS "D". Associate Planner Donahoe noted that the
CEQA document did reference additional traffic studies as the project continues, relaying
that lower levels of service could be addressed as Phase I and II are being developed,
advising that staff would review this matter each time a map was processed.
Noting that within the City's General Plan EIR there was a mitigation measure for
submitted Specific Plans requiring the applicant to submit a Transportation Demand
Management Plan for preliminary review, Commissioner Webster queried whether staff
had reviewed this document. In response, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that
relative to this Specific Plan, that data had not been submitted.
Referencing the agenda material, specifically regarding Mitigation Measure No. 4,
Commissioner Webster noted the requirement for a Noise Assessment Study, querying
whether there was a time requirement associated with this study. In response, Associate
Planner Donahoe relayed information regarding the two types of noise studies
referenced in the CEQA document, noting that the timing of the noise study on the
project site would be coordinated at the time of the processing of the subdivision maps.
With respect to drainage improvements to the creek on site, Commissioner Webster
queried whether there were any requirements for downstream creek improvements
within this project. In response, Director of Public Works Hughes relayed that prior to the
473rd building permit issuance the project would be conditioned for a funding and
implementation method to identify the Pala Road widening to six lanes north of Loma
Linda Road which would also include the drainage structures that would need to be
contained prior to the construction of the six~lane widening project; advised that this
requirement related to the trip generation.that the site would impact Pala Road.
Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that the storm drain improvements would
be a condition of any grading permit that was submitted, noting that with respect to
7
impacts on the residential units, this matter would be addressed with the storm drain and
grading plans associated with the subdivisions, relaying the potential to create detention
basins that would reduce the flow downstream until such time as the ultimate
improvements were installed on Pala Road; and advised that if there was a delay on the
Assessment District the subdivisions that would be built (the 472 units) would be above
any drainage impacts. Director of Public Works Hughes relayed that, additionally, there
was a general condition placed on this project that regardless of phasing plans, each
phase would be required to stand on its own with regard to flood protection.
Referencing an alternate Mitigation Measure, Commissioner Webster noted the
reference to the requirement for the developer-installed landscaping and irrigation to
comply with the Development Code for water efficiency and drought tolerant
landscaping, querying whether the requirement should be more inclusive, noting the
exemption for single-family housing, and the requirement that solely thirty percent (30%)
of the models built by the developer would have to comply with this standard. In
response, Associate Planner Donahoe noted that per the City's Water Efficiency/Water
Conservation Ordinance, the City Landscape Architect reviews all the submitted plans in
terms of meeting those specific guidelines, relaying that he had reviewed the Specific
Plan and the landscaping components; advised that he would also review the landscape
plans for the medians, the drainage channel, and all the landscape plans in order to
ensure compliance with the standards; and relayed that she would further review the
data and provide additional information regarding the developer-installed front yard
landscaping.
Commissioner Webster queried the status of the City's project improvements in the
Loma Linda Road area. In response, Director of Public Works Hughes provided an
overview of the City's efforts to address this area (i.e., temporary installation of traffic
circles initially, and subsequent temporary installation of stop signs on Via Cordoba),
noting that, additionally, there was now a full-time Police Officer designated solely to
neighborhood areas, relaying the increased enforcement program; noted that the City
would conduct an additional traffic speed analysis on Via Cordoba and bring that data
back to the City Council regarding the effectiveness of the stop sign program, noting that
the initial study indicated that the stop signs were not effective in slowing traffic speeds.
With respect to the implementation mechanism for the improvements north of Loma
'Linda Road, Commissioner Mathewson queried the rationale for postponing this
particular project until the 473rd building permit issuance. In response, Director of Public
Works Hughes relayed that according to the traffic analysis, the interim four lanes on
Pala Road north of Loma Linda Road which was required prior to the issuance of the 1st
building permit would be adequate to this point in the development process; and noted
that the LOS did not approach the LOS "D" until approximately the 800th permit.
For Commissioner Mathewson, with respect to Loma Linda Road, Director of Public
Works Hughes relayed that per the traffic analysis, this project would cause no
significant impacts to this road, providing additional information.
With respect to the drainage improvements south of the project, for Commissioner
Mathewson, Director of Public Works Hughes confirmed that these improvements would
be completed in Phase II, clarifying the conditions.
Commissioner Mathewson queried the rationale for requiring the community park to be
developed at the 800th building permit issuance. In response, Development Services
Administrator McCarthy relayed that the recreational facilities were phased throughout
the project development, advising that since 800 units was less than fifty percent (50%)
of the dwelling units, staff was of the opinion that this timeframe was adequate.
For Commissioner Mathewson, with respect to the potential for the sports park to
replace the High School site, Associate Planner Donahoe relayed that there would need
to be an addendum to the EIR to address this issue if the park site went forward,
advising that staff was of the opinion that the park would generate less negative traffic
impacts than the school site would have.
With respect to the sports park issue, Deputy City Manager Thornhill relayed that there
have been ongoing discussions with the developer regarding the proposal, noting that
the matter would be addressed in Closed Session with the City Council next week;
advised that staff was hopeful with respect to the potential for the sports park; noted that
with respect to traffic, it was likely that the sports park would create less significant
impacts; and provided additional information regarding review of the environmental
impacts if the proposal went forward.
With respect to the EIR and the elimination of agricultural uses, Commissioner
Mathewson relayed that there appeared to be a conflict with the General Plan polices
with respect to Open Space Conservation.
For Commissioner Mathewson, the applicant's environmental representative confirmed
that the EIR identified this project as having an unavoidable cumulative significant
impact resulting in the loss of agriculture land, advising that with respect to this issue, as
well as the Air Quality Impacts, the Commission would be required to indicate that the
benefits of the project outweighed these impacts; and noted that the Commission could
direction staff to modify the resolution that contained the statement of overriding
consideration.
For the record, Director of Planning Ubnoske advised that when the City adopted the
General Plan and reflected the land uses at this site, that the City's EIR reflected the
same statement of overriding considerations'for agriculture.
In response to Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Burnell confirmed that in Planning Area
No. 5 where the minimum lot size was 4500 square feet that this was being modified to
reflect a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet; and advised that if it was the
Commission's desire this modified standard could be reflected in the Specific Plan.
For Commissioner Telesio, Director of Public Works Hughes specified the signals which
were required in Phase I and Phase II of the development, noting the condition regarding
traffic thresholds, advising that the signals could be required at earlier dates.
Commissioner Telesio recommended that there be consideration to widen Pala Road to
six lanes at a minimum to Wolf Valley Road, if not to Fairview Road.
In response to Commissioner Telesio, Mr. Burnell relayed that there would be a HOA
with this project, which would be responsible for the maintenance of the greenbelt, and
the paseo.

R: Plan Com m/minut es/090600
For informational purposes, Commissioner Telesio relayed that for traffic circles to be
effective calming tools there was a great advantage to engineering the installation at the
preliminary stages of development, advising that if there was concern with respect to
speeding (i.e., at the loop road), it would be wise to consider engineering the
installations at this point in time.
For Chairman Guerriero, Director of Public Works Hughes provided additional
information regarding the project associated with the roadway that would connect
Highway 79 South to the Loma Linda area, advising that although the project had been
identified in the 5-year CIP, that no funding has been identified for this particular
project's design or construction, noting that the traffic analysis did not warrant re-

In response to Commissioner Webster's queries, Fire Specialist Davidson relayed that
additional research was conducted regarding the cul-de-sac length standards, providing
additional information regarding the associated City ordinance, advising that the Fire
Department's condition requiring that the maximum cul-de-sac length not exceed 1320
feet for this particular project was due to the area currently being in a high fire area,
noting that after this development project was completed, this area would no longer be
considered a high fire area; and noted that if it was the City's desire to reduce the length
of the cul-de-sacs on the individual maps to 660 feet, the Fire Department would have
no objections.

additional information regarding the City's adopted street standards for the various
classifications of streets, noting that the option for a 36-foot curb-to-curb width was
typically utilized on short cul-de-sacs, noting that the option for a 32-foot curb-to-
curb width was utilized with restricted parking on one site of the street, or if there
was no need to park on both sides of the street; advised that if this project was to
revise the street widths, there would be negative impacts with respect to emergency
access issues; additionally provided data regarding the separated sidewalk issue,
noting that the primary concerns were the maintenance costs, and the liability
issues; in response to Commissioner Mathewson, relayed that even if there were
non-evasive rooting trees designated for planting in this area, that historically
various homeowners replace the trees with an alternate tree that would create the
negative impacts with respect to maintenance issues. For Commissioner
Mathewson, Mr. Burnell relayed that there was no plan to have the HOA be

should resemble garages from a visual perspective.
With respect to the recommendation to split the village commercial areas relayed
the importance of ensuring a viable commercial center, providing additional
information regarding the proposed commercial centers; and advised that the
applicant was strongly opposed to separating the commercial centers. Mr. Griffith
provided additional data regarding the uses proposed in the centers and the goal to
provide synergy between the centers, noting that these areas would not be a
significant Citywide attraction to the site due to the scale of the project.
With respect to the recommendation to incorporate civic and public uses into the
village center, and to set aside land for a church and a village square, noted that the
Plan did provide for a neighborhood park, an elementary school, a Fire Station site,
a private recreation facility, options for a public library, daycare facilities, community
halls, churches, and colleges (university branches).
With respect to the recommendation for provision of a raised landscape median on
Wolf Valley Road, via site plan overheads, relayed that there would be provision of a
median on Wolf Valley Road at the point where one is entering the village center,
noting the break in the median due to the location of the Fire Station, advising that
this design pan had not been finalized.
With respect to the recommendation for a raised median on Pala Road prior to build

Planning Commission meeting, as follows:
With respect to the General Plan's requirement for a Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Plan for Specific Plans, relayed that TDM Plans are typically
required for non-residential plans to address employee trips, advising that since this
project was primarily residential, the EIR does not require a TDM Plan; noted that
Mitigation Measure Nos. 6, and 7 (on page 53 of the FEIR) and No. 10 (on page 68)
address transit needs; and relayed the elements the project incorporates to
encourage non-motorized transportation. Commissioner Webster clarified that his
query was based on the General Plan's requirement.
With respect to the recommendation to incorporate further definition in the Air
Quality Mitigation Measure, specifically with respect to Energy Conservation
measures and Southcoast Air Quality Management District Rule Nos. 402, and
noted that the FEIR refers to Rule Nos. 402, and 403 on page 53 of the document,
advising that the measure does not specify what the rules require since the rules
may be amended during the construction life of the project; advised that the manner
in which the mitigation is stated accommodates any potential rule changes; noted
that, additionally, Measures 3, 4, and 5 provide specificity regarding control of soil
amounts, unpaved areas, and dirty trucks; with respect to Energy Conservation,
relayed that City ordinances require compliance with Title 24 of the Health and
Safety Code, reiterating that the mitigation measure did not specify precise
requirements, but instead provided for flexibility in the event that those change in the
future; and with respect to Rule Nos. 402, and 403, advised that this was related to
any sort of noxious air emission, and to fugitive dust, noting the associated existing
requirement imposed on all projects within the Southcoast Air Basin.

minimize the proposed densities; commented on the market issues with respect to the
sale of smaller homes verses larger homes; echoing Commissioner Mathewson's
recommendation, relayed that he would favor a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet,
noting that it would be beneficial to have specific data related to the number of smaller
lots proposed; relayed that he was concerned with respect to the Linear Park and its
relation to the Quimby requirements; and advised that overall, he concurred with
Commissioner Mathewson that this project was a good plan that would be beneficial to
the City, noting that the infrastructure concerns have been addressed.
Noting the numerous revisions made to the documents recently, Commissioner Webster
relayed that in order for him to make a decision on this project he would need to have a
compiled, complete document, relaying that he would not be comfortable forwarding this
segmented data to the Council; recommended that the applicant bring back a final
document outlining the final proposal in order to clarify the project plan; with respect to
the CEQA issues, noted that there were some mitigation measures that needed to be
more detailed, and that the cumulative impact analysis needed to be revised;
recommended a continuance; and relayed a desire for staff to resolve the issue with
respect to the Commission's desire for implementation of narrow streets and parkways,
noting his desire to have these elements incorporated into the plan.
In response to Commissioner Webster's comments, Deputy City Manager Thornhill
recommended that this be passed on to the Council in order for that body to grapple with
the issues.
Chairman Guerriero advised that he was comfortable with this project, noting that the
proposal was the best use for this site; relayed that there would be negative impacts on
the surrounding area if the project was not developed (i.e., drainage impacts, traffic
impacts), noting the benefits this project setforth; with respect to the General Plan,
relayed that this developer has met and exceeded the requirements, noting the Iow
densities, the traffic improvements, the pleasing visual aesthetics which would relate to
increased property values; commended the applicant for the regional park proposal
which would save the City an exorbitant amount of money; specified numerous elements
under the scrutiny of thorough review with this project, as follows: development of
parkland and trails, preservation of historic buildings or sites, additional open space,
preservation enhancement of natural habitat, additional community public facilities,
public spaces or plazas for community use, amenities in multi-family development,
transit facilities and additional right-of-way along future transit quarters, meeting the
needs of Iow-income households, provision of cultural facilities, bike paths, and
designated village centers, relaying the plethore of provisions this project would provide,
noting that the project had provisions for all the integral elements with the exception of
provision for light rail; and advised that this proposal was one of the best projects he
had seen, commending staff and the applicant for a job well done, relaying that his vote
would support this project.
Commissioner Mathewson acknowledged Commissioner Webster's concern with
respect to obtaining an overall understanding of the project proposal with the compilation
of one document; relayed that the overall project was good, noting that there were some
issues that needed to be addressed (i.e., the one-story, two-story mix of housing units);
noted that he would not be opposed to continuing this matter in order for ail the data to
be compiled; and relayed that the Commission should further discuss the expectations in
the residential units, and the permitted uses in the commemial areas.
Commissioner Telesio acknowledged that there were some details of the project which
should be addressed; concurred with Chairman Guerriero, that this was a high quality
project; relayed that in his opinion it would be helpful for the data to be incorporated into
one comprehensive document; and commended the applicant for the diligent work on
the project, and the cooperation with the Pechangas and the community.
Commissioner Webster reiterated the need for a complete document, which would
provide clarification, relaying that this provision would most likely expedite the review
process at the Council level.
MOTION: Commissioner Telesio moved to continue this matter in order for the data to
be compiled into one document, and for the applicant to address the Commission
comments. (Ultimately this motion died for lack of a second.)
In response to Chairman Guerriere, Attorney Curley relayed that there were several
elements comprising the Final EIR, noting the Specific Plan document, and the alternate
planning documents; relayed that it was typical for the EIR to be comprised of more than
one element; acknowledged the Commission's discomfort with receiving updated data
and new information at the meeting tonight, noting that even though the data had been
reviewed with great detail, the Commission was relaying a desire to read through the
material; noted the Commission's desire for one comprehensive document, relaying that
there would not be additional analysis or alternate conclusions, but simply a re-
packaging of the information; noted that it was the Commission's charge to make a
recommendation to Council; relayed that the Commission was to make
recommendations regarding the preposed plan, as presented, advising that the
Commission could recommend approval, denial, or changes, noting that this
recommendation would go to the Council for consideration; clarified that the Commission
was not obligated to re-craft the development proposal in any way, but to comment on
what has been presented; relayed that if it was the consensus of the Commission that
there should be no small lots, that this could be the Commission's recommendation - to
17 R:PlanCom m/minutes/~92c~]
approve the project subject to no small lots; and relayed that if the compilation of the
data into one uniform document would provide clarification to the Commission, then
recommendations could be relayed with respect to that document.
Deputy City Manager Thornhill clarified that in order for the applicant to address all the
comments relayed at the last meeting, the information could not be provided soon
enough for early distribution to the Commission; and relayed that if it was the
Commission's desire to continue the matter, staff was of the opinion that the information
could be re-packaged in a two-week period, advising that at that point the Commission
could provide direction to the Council regarding the small lot issues.
Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that October 4, 2000 was the next scheduled
Planning Commission meeting; and suggested that if it was the Commission's desire to
continue the matter that since most of the comments had been clear and would not
require additional discussion, she would recommend that the comment regarding
concern with respect to the permitted uses within the commercial centers be specified in
order for this information to be incorporated into the document presented.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that after numerous hours of reviewing this project, the
matter would be continued in order for the Commission to receive a comprehensive
document, and make a final determination.
Mr. Sam Alhadeff,' attorney representing the applicant responded to the Commission
comments, as follows:
Requested that the public comment portion of the meeting be closed.
Requested that at the October 4, 2000 meeting the Commission move this project
forward to the City Council for review.
Relayed that there had been Herculean efforts expended by the applicant in order to
address the previous Commission comments in a two-week period; requested
assurance that the new document would be distributed to the Commission at a point
in time where there would be adequate time for review. In response, Deputy City
Manager Thornhill noted that as soon as staff received the data it would be hand-
delivered to the Commissioners' residences.
Reviewed the comments expressed by the Commission that would need to be
addressed by the applicant, as follows: 1) the Quimby requirements for the Linear
Park, 2) the question of the mix between one-story and two-story homes, and 3) the
issue of lot size; noted that it was his understanding that Deputy City Manager
Thornhill had clarified the issues related to permitted uses in the commercial
centers.
Queried whether there were other concerns the Commission desired to have
addressed, noting the desire to have a complete understanding of the Commission's
concerns.
The Commission relayed concludin.q comments, as follows:
Commissioner Mathewson sympathized with the applicant's diligent efforts to address
the Commission's previously expressed comments (which had been addressed via an in
depth review presentation and via a report document book which outlined in written form
the applicant's response to those comments with additional data, and attachments),
noting his concurrence that the Commission should clarify and conclude the comments
that needed to be addressed; with respect to the permitted uses in the Community
Commercial area, relayed his recommendation that liquor store uses not be permitted,
noting that in his opinion, hotels, motels, and auditoriums should not be permitted uses,
requesting input with respect to these permitted uses.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Deputy City Manager Thornhill relayed that he had erred
in a previous comment, noting that in the Community Commercial area liquor store uses
were not prohibited; in response to Commissioner Mathewson's queries, relayed that it
was his opinion that drive-threughs, liquor stores, car washes, and automotive repair
facilities should not be permitted uses within this particular Village Center.
With respect to his concerns regarding the residential area, Commissioner Mathewson
reiterated his recommendation to maintain a minimum 5,000 square foot lot size; with
respect to the Development Standards in terms of setback maximum lot coverage,
relayed that it was his understanding that if the smaller lots were eliminated the City
Development Standards would satisfy the 5,000 square foot lots and greater; and with
respect to the one-story, and two-story mix of units, noted that this was a vital concern of
his, relaying a desire for assurance of a certain percentage of one-story units, Chairman
Guerriero relaying that he would support this recommendation.
Commissioner Webster relayed that in order to approve a Village Center complex, he
would recommend that with respect to the Community Commercial uses that taverns
and pubs be permitted uses; advised that there needed to be additional dedicated public
use areas in the Village Center area, noting the desire for a dedicated site for a church,
or similar use; noted that in his opinion the church use did not belong in the commercial
area, but should be placed in the public, civic center.
In response to Commissioner Webster's comments, Associate Planner Donahoe relayed
that the Public Facilities Planning Area was to follow the Public Institutional Development
Code Zone which would allow church uses with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
Commissioner Webster relayed his desire, if feasible, to have a dedicated site for a
church on the property. In response, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that the
concern with this recommendation was that if there was a required dedicated church site
and subsequently there was no church desiring to locate to this area, the requirement
would tie up the property.
Commissioner Telesio relayed his recommendation that the developer have a clear
understanding of what issues should be addressed; and queried what percentage of
one-story homes would satisfy the desire of the Commission. In response,
Commissioner Mathewson relayed that a thirty-three percentage (33%) of one-story
units would satisfy his concerns.
With respect to the commercial area, Commissioner Telesio relayed that the scale of the
center needed to be considered; relayed that he would not be opposed to a pub, tavern,
or specialty wine shop use in this area; relayed a desire for a clearer definition regarding
the scope of the proposed establishments; with respect to lot sizes, concurred with the
recommendation to maintain a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, noting that the
units in the courtyard homes could be increased to compensate for the loss of housing
units; and reiterated that it was vital that the Commission provide clear direction as to the
issues needing to be addressed in order for this project to move forward with
recommendations to the City Council at the next Commission meeting.
1 9 R: PlanC om m/minutes/0920Q0
Commissioner Mathewson concurred that the taverns, and nightclub uses should remain
as permitted uses in the Community Commercial area; relayed that the continuance was
based on Commissioner Webster's recommendation to compile the data into one
document; noted that his concerns were related to the Design Guidelines, the specifics
of the commercial element, and the residential; in terms of the proposed lighted Sports
Park, recommended that there be a commitment that the buyers of homes within a
quarter mile redius of that Sports Park be notified that the Sports Park would be lighted;
and reiterated that the alternate issue of concern was with respect to a noise attenuation
agreement.
in response to Chairman Guerriere, the applicant relayed that the Sports Park Plan (with
lights) would be conveyed to homebuyers in this area.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that he had no desire to over-review this project, advising
that when the documents were accumulated the data should be satisfactory; requested
the Commissioners to fax or e-mail any additional concerns to the applicant by
September 24, 2000; and relayed a desire to move this project forward to the City
Council as soon as possible, with Commission recommendations.
The applicant responded to the Commission's concluding comments, as follows:
Mr. Griffith relayed that with respect to the density issue, it was the applicant's goal to
look 5-10 yeare into the future, noting the increasing energy costs, relaying that the small
lot proposal came forward as a distinct and viable project niche as a replacement for
community concerns regarding a multi-family component, advising that this element
would provide young families an opportunity to purchase a single-detached home; noted
that with architectural and site planning some of the ills of the small lots have been
corrected, relaying that most buildere had an established and well-defined product line
that suits the size of the lots; noted that the applicant had made numerous concessions
in order to increase the open space areas (i.e., the grass-lined channel), relaying .the
need to cluster; advised that the differential from a visual perspective between 4,000-
5,000 square foot lots would be minimal, providing additional information regarding the
potential streetscape; relayed that this site was flat, with no habitat issues, noting that
the site provided an opportunity to densify without substantial hillside grading; relayed
the marketing issues associated with the proposal of smaller lots; advised that the
narrower streets worked well with the smaller lots; for Commissioner Telesio, clarified
that the 4,000-4500 proposed lots were minimums, relaying that at some point in the
future, based on market conditions, the plan may be revised to increase the minimum lot
sizes to 5,000-6,000 square feet; noted that in the areas that encompassed the smaller
lot sizes, the averege lot size would most likely be between 5,500-6,000 square feet,
relaying that on the 6,000 square foot lots there would be an opportunity to provide
single story units; advised that rather than focusing on the minimum lot size, it may be
more appropriate to focus on average lot sizes; with respect to the alternate issues that
have been expressed, noted that these matters could be addressed, relaying that it was
the applicant's goal to create a City-friendly Town Center, concurring with the
recommendation to include a pub use in the center; with respect to the single-story
element, advised that this would fit within the lot mix category; and apologized for the
plethora of data the applicant recently provided, noting the need to address multiple
Commission comments.
Chairman Guerriero applauded the applicant for the continued diligent efforts to address
additional comments, accepting one more delay in order to compile the data for the
Commission's consideration.
Mr. Burnell clarified that with respect to the CEQA document, that the applicant would
not be dissecting the EIR and re-packaging this element with all the fine details of the
evolved project; relayed that the design concepts in the provided booklet (per
supplemental agenda material) could be incorporated into the Specific Plan document; in
response to Commissioner Webster, relayed that it would not be feasible to provide a
detailed layout of every Planning Area at this point in time, relaying that this level of
detail would come when the tracts came forward.
Commissioner Mathewson reiterated that he still was concerned with the proposed
smaller lot sizes, providing additional information regarding this issue; and with respect
to the separated sidewalk issue, queried the Commission for input regarding this
element.
In response, Chairman Guerriero referenced the City's Land Use Element, specifically
Policy No. 5.3 which stated to encourage a variety in the design of sidewalks and trails
with respect to alignment and surface materials to provide a convenient and enjoyable
experience for the users, noting that landscaped medians separating the sidewalks was
a safer method of foot transportation, relaying that if the concern was maintenance, then
there could be a Iow maintenance groundcover installed (i.e., junipers), advising that this
element improved the streetscape. Commissioner Mathewson concurred with
incorporating this element in the plan.
In response to Commissioner Mathewson's queries, Commissioner Telesio relayed that
he could understand that from a marketing perspective the 4,000-4500 square foot lots
would create a saleable, desirable product; noted that if the lots could be addressed via
design elements and lot widths he would not oppose the smaller lots; and advised that
breaking up the uniformity of the visual appearance would alleviate his concern with
respect to the smaller lots.
Commissioner Mathewson relayed that there would be no guarantee that the smaller lots
would be treated with appropriate design concepts, and lacking that assurance he could
not support proposed lot sizes less than 5,000 square feet.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that in the Land Use Element under Policy 5.6 it stated
encourage higher density mixed use development and supporting public and community
facilities within a Village Center, recommending that the Council should consider
amending this policy point if this was not the desired implementation; advised that he
had seen projects incorporate smaller lots with a pleasing visual appearance, noting his
concurrence with Commis§ioner Mathewson that he would be opposed to all two-story
units.
In response to Commissioner Telesio, Commissioner Mathewson relayed that he would
consider elements that would alleviate his concern regarding the smaller lots; noted that
in his opinion the senior housing and courtyard components address the previously
mentioned policy statement.
Mr. Griffith clarified that the unique feature of this property was that the 4,000-4500
square foot lots would not have slopes included; and noted that the applicant was willing
to consider a single-story unit commitment; relayed that the specific details of the tracts
would be provided when the City approved the individual housing developments in the
future; noted that street scene and architectural elements could be reviewed at the stage
that the project was approved for housing, relaying that the Master Plan could not be
inclusive of the design of every house in each tact; and provided additional information
regarding the impacts of the implementation of street trees, noting the applicant's
proposal for large tree plantings in the paseo areas.
Deputy City Manager Thornhill relayed that in the Specific Plan various product types
demonstrated varied front elevations; and advised that varying height, elevations,
setbacks, and architectural elements may alleviate the concern of the Commission with
respect to the smaller lots.
MOTION: Commissioner Mathewson moved to continue this matter to the October 4,
2000 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion and
voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Commissioner Chiniaeff who
abstained.
COMMISSIONER REPORTS
With respect to the Promenade Mall area, Commissioner Webster relayed that
there was a weed abatement issue that needed to be addressed, specifically
around the loop read, in the area between North General Kearny and the Power
Center.
With respect to the previously mentioned issues at the mall site, Commissioner
Webster queried whether these matters needed to be agendized.
In response, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that staff was aware of the
issues, noting that with the current workload there had not been time to address
the matters, providing assurance that staff would come back to the Commission
with additional information at a future point in time.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that he had attended the Inland Empire Economic
Development Luncheon held on September 20, 2000, noting that the key
speakers were from the Metropolitan Water District, relaying that he had provided
the Commissioners with a copy of the handout which had been supplied at the
meeting, which describes the proposals around the Diamond Valley Lake;
provided additional information regarding the potential for significant negative
impacts on Winchester Road due to a lack of adequate infrastructure, noting that
there were efforts in the County to address some of the traffic impacts; advised
that these impacts should be considered by the City Council due to the potential
negative impact this project could have with respect to traffic in the City of
Temecula.

BACKGROUND
Planning Application No. 98-0083 was initially submitted to the Planning Department on February
27, 1998. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on March 12, 1998. The
project was deemed complete on May 27, 1998. The Planning Commission approved the project
on June 17, 1998.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of the design and construction of a 16,760 square foot office/warehouse
building on a 1 .l-acres (47,992 square foot) parcel on the southeast corner of Zevo Drive and
Winchester Road.
ANALYSIS
Site Desiqn
The project will take access from a single driveway off of Winchester Road. Parking is provided
along the west and east sides of the building with parallel parking along the southern portion of the
site. An outdoor employee patio area is being provided adjacent to the northern podion of the
building. The applicant has complied with the performance standards outlined in the Development
Code and the Design Guidelines (i.e., circulation, architectural design, site planning and design and
compatibility).
Architecture
The architecture is compatible with other buildings within the Westside Business Center. As
proposed, the building will be constructed primarily of split face concrete masonry units (CMU) and
will utilize standing metal seam roofing sections projecting in various locations on all four
elevations. Every elevation has numerous windows, which are framed with smooth- face CMU
surrounds. In addition, the top of the building parapet, which extends completely around the
building, is to have a band of fluted CMU's with a recessed band of painted smooth-face CMU's just
below it. None of the elevations have expansive block walls as all elevations are significantly
articulated which creates a considerable amount of interest. All four elevations are sufficiently
buffered by landscaping. In many respects the architecture proposed for this building exceeds the
quality of architecture for the area in terms of the amount of articulation being provided and the
quality of materials being proposed.
Landscaping
Twenty nine percent (29 %) of the site is to be landscaped. The landscaping being provided is
consistent with the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial)
zone. The northern portion of the site has a 20-foot wide slope extending up from Zevo Drive. This
area of the site is thoroughly planted and should provide an aesthetically pleasing streetscape. The
applicant is also proposing landscape planters around all four sides of the building, which will help
to screen and buffer certain portions of the building. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed
the Landscape Plan and the applicant has addressed those comments on the Landscape Plan.
EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). Existing zoning for the
site is LI (Light Industrial). Manufacturing/office/warehouse uses are permitted with the approval of
a Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the Development Code. The project as
proposed is consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Study had been prepared for PA98-0083. The Initial Study determined that although the
proposed project could have significant effects on the environment, these effects are not
considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design and in the
Conditions of Approval for the approved PA98-0083. In the years since this project was first
approved conditions have not changed. Therefore, this project qualifies under CEQA for a
"Determination of Consistency" with a project for which a Negative Declaration was previously
adopted (Section 15162 - Subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The Planning Commission approved this project on June 17, 1998. The applicant needs additional
time to construct his building. No new issues have arisen which would require any changes to the
building. Staff supports the request for an Extension of Time.

BACKGROUND
On June 28, 2000, the applicant introduced City staffto the proposed project and his development
team. He also requested and was granted fast track status as the project will provide job
opportunities to the community. On July 5, 2000 the applicant submitted a Pre-Application, which
was reviewed with the development team at a Pre-Application Meeting on July 19, 2000. On July
27, 2000 engineers for the applicant submitted Tentative Parcel Map No. 29895, a map to combine
the five parcels that comprise the site, and on August 22, 2000, the formal submittal of the
Development Plan was received. The Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on
September 7, 2000, and the DRC comment letter was faxed on September 11,2000. Requested
revisions were submitted September 21, 27, and October 10, 2000. The project was deemed
complete on October 23, 2000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed 410,000 square foot industrial building will house the Scotts Company, a 131 year
old company headquartered in Marysville, Ohio. Scotts claims to be the world's leading supplier
and marketer of consumer products for do-it-yourself lawn and garden care. The proposal will bring
Scoffs durable goods manufacturing and distribution operations to Temecula, from Carlsbad and
elsewhere. The durable goods line includes lawn spreaders, yardall cads, containers, and
application devices for use with the Scotts family of products. Operations include the fabrication of
steel parts by cutting, forming and electrostatic painting. Plastic components will be manufactured
through an injection molding process. Components will be assembled, packed and palletized for
distribution. Operations are expected to employ 350 to 500 people across three shifts seven days a
week.
ANALYSIS
Site Desiqn
The project is proposed to be constructed on five of the original nine parcels of Parcel Map 28657.
At 410,000 square feet, the building will be the third largest structure in the City, behind the
Promenade Mall and Guidant Corporation. Of the 33 combined acres, approximately six acres at
the southeast end of the site shall remain undeveloped but is earmarked for future expansion,
bringing the total building size to 510,000 square feet. However, the expansion plans are not part of
the project for consideration at this time.
Circulation and Traffic
Located on Remington Avenue and the intersection of the future extension of Dendy Parkway and
Winchester Road, the project design takes advantage of its frontage along three roadways.
Employees and visitors will enter from Remington Avenue, while truck deliveries and distribution
shipments will occur from the Dendy Parkway secured entrance. Potential conflicts between these
two types of traffic will be minimized. Full access, however, is designed into the project, with a 30-
foot drive aisle that connects the rear to the front portion of the site, at both the east and west sides
of the building.
At the request of the City Traffic Engineer, the applicant prepared a focused Transportation
Analysis. The A,nalysis looked at two intersections: Diaz Road/Winchester Road and Winchester
Road/Jefferson Avenue. The Analysis reviewed existing conditions, as well as, conditions with the
proposed project. The Analysis concluded that the intersection of Diaz and Winchester Roads
currently operates at Level of Service (LOS) E during morning peak hour and LOS F during the
R:\D P\00-0335 Scott's Manufacturing - Fasttrack'~STAFFRPT.PC.doc
3
evening peak. The Analysis recommended that this intersection be signalized. Once signals are
operational, the project would not impact LOS at this intersection. The applicant agreed to instal~ a
traffic signal as a condition of approval prior to occupancy. He is eligible to receive credits for the
Traffic Signal and Traffic Control Systems component of the Public Facilities Development Impact
Fee and reimbursement from the City for 100% of the ultimate cost for design and installation.
To accommodate their 350 to 500 employees, Scotts has implemented trip reduction measures into
the project design. Bicycle racks, motorcycle spaces, van pool and car pool spaces are all provided
as preferred parking nearest the employee entrance, to encourage alternative modes of
transportation. The floor plan includes a full-service cafeteria and employee plaza area, as well as
an exercise room and showers for employees.
Architectural Desiqn
The Scoffs facility is a large building. However, Smith Consulting submitted a design with features
that divide and reduce the scale, and offer visual interest. Facades vary along the Remington
Avenue frontage, both in contrasting horizontal and vertical planes. There are pop-out areas for the
offices and a covered, outdoor employee lunch plaza. The main entry is prominent, with a canopy
covering and five concrete columns, which provide vertical and horizontal lines. The main entrance
is reached by a curvilinear access drive with accent paving and an attractive, ceremonial entry
plaza.
Along Winchester Road, architectural features wrap around the corner from the front of the
building. At the northwest corner, mechanical equipment including an 18-foot high cooling tower are
hidden behind a 21 -foot high screen wall that is architecturally treated and which complements the
building in material and color.
There are over 30 loading bays required for Scotts' operations, and they are located along the rear
of the building on Dendy Parkway. The architect divided the long expanse of loading docks with
changes to the vertical lines, colors and materials used on the building. Elevation changes on the
roadway benefit the visual impact of the development, as does the berming proposed along Dendy
Parkway. On the east elevation, architectural features wrap around the southeast and northeast
corners of the building.
The architect proposes roof-mounted equipment (RME) on the office portion of the building. He has
provided line-of-sight studies which indicate that the RME will not be visible from adjacent streets.
Landscape Design
The applicant has varied the size of the landscaped setbacks to adjacent roadways, as well as the
size and shape of planter areas adjacent to the buildings, to create visual interest. The
concentrated and clustered planter areas provide meaningful spaces where landscaping can be
emphasized, enhancing the image for Scoffs' garden care products.
The landscape architect utilized landscaping to highlight the main entry area, and to screen
mechanical equipment areas. He enhanced the landscaping on top of a four-foot berm along
Dendy Parkway in lieu of landscaped planters adjacent to the building which would interfere with
truck loading activities. The enhanced landscaping along Dendy Parkway is also designed to
screen the six-foot high black chainlink security fencing behind the truck parking spaces.
Lastly, the applicant will install grass-lined drainage swales on the property, and will install
temporary and permanent landscaping at the east end of the site where future expansion is
contemplated.

Parkinq Requirements
The Scotts Company has requested that the Planning Commission consider parking requirements
for the project based upon Scotts' employee count in lieu of the City's standard formula based upon
building area and use. Scofts proposes to provide parking for twice the number of employees on its
largest shift. One shift's vehicles remain parked when the second shift a~:rives. The day shift is the
largest, with the following employee count:
Office staff = 35
Manufacturing employees -- 140
Warehouse workers -- 10
Total = 185
Based on Scotts' 131 years of experience in the business, their analysis of the parking provided is
as follows:
Employee spaces -- 370
Visitor spaces = 15
Vendor,service,delivery = 10
Total = 395
Again, based upon Scotts' experience at other facilities, they believe actual usage of the 395
spaces will be reduced due to employee participation in private carpools and vanpools. Historically,
approximately 30 employees per shift carpool in 15 private vehicles, saving 15 spaces. Twenty
preferred parking spaces for carpool and vanpool parking are provided on the site plan, directly in
front of the employee entrance. Bicycle and motorcycle spaces are both located at the front of the
building as well, to encourage alternative modes of transportation and provide security.
Staff finds this request to be reasonable, based upon Scotts past experience. The project has been
conditioned that should Scotts' future operations cause an increased employee count, additional
onsite parking spaces shall be provided. Staff believes that the City will have an opportunity to
revisit the parking when the expansion project is submitted for review and approval. Additionally,
the project is conditioned that should a new tenant occupy the premises, a revised parking analysis
shall be done. If greater parking requirements result, more parking spaces shall be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Environmental Study (lES) was prepared for this project. The lES determined that the
proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment with regards to aesthetics,
biological resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water
quality, land use and planning, and recreation. However, due to the design of the project and
mitigation measures imposed upon the project through conditions of approval and the project's
Mitigation Monitoring Program, environmental effects are not considered to be significant. Any
impacts will be mitigated to levels less than significant.

C. The design of the proposed improvements are 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 project will 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. An Initial Study prepared for this project indicates
that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of
Approval have been added to the project, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula City Council hereby conditionally approves
the Application for the design, construction and operation of a 410,000 square foot building on 33
acres, located at the southeast corner of the extension of Winchester Road and the extension of

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
Less Than
Potentially Significant With Less Than
Significant Mitigation Significant No
Issues and Supporting information Sources impact incorporated impact impact
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not X
limited to, trees, rock outcropping, and historic building
within a state scenic highway?
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or X
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the X
area?
Comments:
No Impact. The project will not affect a scenic vista. The project is not located in an area where there
is a scenic vista. It is located in an existing industrial park. No impacts are anticipated as a result of
this project.
1.5.
No Impact. There are no designated scenic resources in the vicinity of the project site. There are no
scenic resources within the project site, nor is the site within the view of a state scenic highway. As a
consequence, no significant impact to scenic resources will result from the proposed project or the
future development of the site.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is approximately 33 acres of vacant property. The
site has been graded in preparation for an industrial user within a developing industrial park. The
proposal will be similar to surrounding industrial development, and will enhance the site in terms of
visual character and quality. The 410,000 square foot building provides architectural treatment and
appropriate landscaping to breakup expanses of walls. Therefore, the project will not have a significant
adverse impact.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project will produce and result in
light/glare, as all development of this nature results in new light sources. All light and glare has the
potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. The project will be conditioned to be consistent
with City Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). With this mitigation measure in
place, less than significant impacts are anticipated.

2. Agricultural Resources. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:

Issues and Supporting Information Sources
a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland X
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to non-agricultural use?
b. Conflict with the existing zoning for agricultural use, or a X
Wiiliamson Act contract?
c. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, X
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion
of farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
2a.-c. No Impact. The project site is not currently in agricultural production and in the historic past has not
been used for agricultural purposes. The site is not under a Williamson Act contract nor is it zoned for
agricultural uses. This property is not considered prime or unique farmland of statewide or local
importance as identified by the State Department of Conservation and the City of Temecula General
Plan. In addition, the project will not involve changes in the existing environment which would result in
the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. Therefore, there is no significant impact related to
this issue.

Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact. The project as proposed will comply with State and National ambient
air quality standards. Although the project exceeds the air quality management policies in the current
Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and emissions thresholds established in South Coast Air
Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Handbook (April 1993), the City of
Temecula's General Plan EIR has addressed development of the site and proposed adequate
mitigation for any impacts. The analysis provided in 3b. below, discusses the project's compliance
with the AQMP. No significant impacts related to conflicts with air quality plans will result from the
proposed project
3.5.
Less Than Significant Impact. Pursuant to the City of Temecula Development Code the
approximately 33 acres can ultimately be developed with 574,992 square feet of light industrial uses
based on a target Floor Area Ratio of 0.40. Though this figure exceeds the SCAQMD's CEQA Air
Quality Handbook (April 1993) threshold for impacts associated with light industrial development, this
figure is consistent with target Floor Area Ratio (FAR) anticipated within the City's General Plan. The
General Plan established target floor area ratios within various land uses in order to determine the
intensity of uses and the impacts upon the environment. The General Plan EIR evaluates the impacts
of development at the target FAR. The analysis conducted for this project assumes that the ultimate
development of the site will be at the target FAR for the Light Industrial zoning district. It is anticipated
that the development of the site will be less than the densities anticipated by the General Plan and
analyzed within the General Plan EIR. Consequently a less than significant impact is anticipated as a
result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in item b. above, the project when ultimately
developed, will exceed the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook (April 1993) thresholds for
impacts associated with industrial development. However, the project has provided mitigation
measures already identified in the City of Temecula General Plan EIR that addresses the impacts to
air quality. Scott's will provide a full service cafeteria and lunch plaza for its employees. An 800 square
foot'exercise room and both men's and women's showers are included in their floor plan, as well as a
trucker's lounge. The site plan for the project also encourages its employees to use alternative
transportation by providing 10 carpool spaces, 2 van pool spaces, 20 bicycle spaces and 4 motorcycle
spaces, all of which are in preferred parking areas at the main entrance. Lastly, the project
incorporates drought-resistant vegetation in its landscape plan. As a consequence a less than
significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant
pollutants in proximity to the project nor is it anticipated that the project will generate pollutants. The
project shall comply with the environmental standards as detailed in the Development Code for
industrial development. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project may create objectionable odors during the construction
phase of the project. These impacts will be or short duration and are not considered significant over
the long term. The project shall comply with the environmental standards as detailed in the
Development Code for industrial development. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the
project.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~mpact Incorporated Impact Impact
a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or X
through habitat modifications, on any species identified
as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat X
or other sensitive natural community identified in local or
regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c. Have a substantial adverse effect of federally protected X
wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool,
coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filing, hydrological
interruption, or other means?
d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native X
resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with
established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors,
or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting X
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or
ordinance?
f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation X
Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat
conservation plan?
Comments:
4.a-e
No Impact. The General Plan does not designate the project site as a potentially sensitive habitat site.
The site is outside the habitat area identified for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly and does not contain
wetlands as defined by the Clean Water Act. The site has been rough graded previously into
developable industrial pads. There is no anticipated biological impact associated with this project.
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project is located within the fee
area for the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Long-Term Habitat Conservation Plan. All development
within this fee area is required to pay a mitigation fee. This project will be required to pay a mitigation
fee for the SKR. As a consequence, with mitigation measures incorporated into the Conditions of
Approval for this project, a less than significant impact is anticipated.

c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological X
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred X
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
5.a-d. No Impact. The underlying map for this development plan (Parcel Map No. 28657) was conditioned to
address cultural resources prior to grading the site. The conditions of approval for the underlying map
required a qualified paleontologist and Native American monitors be employed to properly dispose of
recovered cultural artifacts and/or human remains, as well as, having an archaeologist prepare a
Phase II Study of the site. The site has since been rough graded and resource mitigation was
addressed at that time. This project will be conditioned to comply with Conditions of Approval
regarding cultural resources for Parcel Map 28657 for any additional grading of the site. No cultural or
historic resources are anticipated to be impacted.

Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated.. There is a known earthquake fault,
the Willard Fault, delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. Geologic
studies previously done for the area identify the fault on the eastern portion of the project site. The
design of the development has maintained the minimum 50-foot setback from the faultline, with the
nearest building being 160 feet outside the faultline. An Updated Geotechnical Study dated August 9,
2000 by EnGEN Corporation, references the fault setback zone where human inhabited structures are
prohibited. The Study further states that based on the lack of active faulting in the proposed structure
area, the potential for hazards associated with fault rupture is considered Iow. With the project design
in place, less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. There may be a potentially significant
impact from seismic ground shaking, ground failure, soil erosion, or expansive soils. The project is
located in Southern California, an area that is seismically active. Any potential significant impacts will
be mitigated through building construction, consistent with the Uniform Building Code standards.
Further, the project will be conditioned to provide soil reports prior to grading and recommendations
contained in this report are complied with during construction. The soil reports will also contain
recommendations for the compaction of the soil, which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant
impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive
soils. After mitigation measures are performed, a less than significant impact is anticipated as a result
of this project.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The development of the site may be
affected by liquefaction, subsidence or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill.
However, the EnGEN Study indicated that based on the lack of shallow groundwater and the density
of the underlying earth materials, the potential for hazards associated with liquefaction is considered
Iow. Potential impacts shall be mitigated by compliance with State of California Alquist-Priolo Special
Studies Zone development criteria and construction in accordance with the Uniform Building Code
standards. A soils report shall be required as part of the development and shall contained
recommendations for the compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant
impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure (including liquefaction), erosion, changes
in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. Erosion
control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for development projects at the site.
Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of
proper compaction of the soils and landscaping. After mitigation measures are performed, a less than
significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
No Impact. Septic sewage disposal systems are not proposed for this project. The ultimate
development of the site will be required to hook up to the existing public sewer system in Remington
Avenue. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project will not violate any water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements. The project is required to comply with the
raquiraments of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State
Water Resources Control Board. No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of Intent has
been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any
potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. With mitigation a less than
significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
8.b.f.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The project will not have an affect on the
quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals or through
interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge
capability. Further, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact
on ground waters or aquifer volume. The applicant proposes to use reclaimed water and provide a
demonstration garden onsite to mitigate water consumption and promote water conservation. No
impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
8.c.d.
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern of the site or area in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation and/or
flooding on- er off-site. Some changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate and amount
of surface runoff is expected whenever development occurs on previously permeable ground.
Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying
hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts
shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances are required for the project to safely
and adequately handle runoff that is created. A Drainage Study for the underlying Tentative Parcel
Map No. 29895, dated August 1, 2000 and prepared by Leppert Engineering Corporation, concludes
that the project will not significantly impact the amount of runoff draining towards Dendy Parkway and
Remington Avenue that was previously anticipated by the rough graded site. The Study analyzed
estimated rainfall intensities for each drainage basin and the estimated runoff from each basin. With
regards to depths of flow and velocities within the storm drains adjacent to Dendy Parkway and
Remington Avenue downstream from the site, the proposed project would have no impact on the
existing storm drain facilities. A less than significant impact is associated with this project.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project is not anticipated to create or contribute runoff water
which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The project is conditioned to accommodate the
drainage created as a result of the development of the subject site. In addition, the project is
conditioned so that the drainage will not impact surrounding properties. A less than significant impact
is associated with this project.

No Impact. This project represents a development plan for an industrial user within an industrial park.
No residential property is affected; no impact is associated with this project.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project may expose people or
property to water related hazards such as flooding. According to the Riverside County Flood Control
and Water Conservation District, the project site is in area that is subject to severe flood hazard from
Murrieta Creek. Further, the site is located within the limits of the 100-year (Zone AE)
floodplain/floodway as delineated on Panel No. 060742 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 project is partially located within the dam inundation
area identified in the City of Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. Impacts can
be mitigated by utilizing existing emergency response systems. In its current configuration, the project
is designed to elevate the development above the floodway/floodplain. This project as conditioned
requires the developer to pay flood mitigation fees to the Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District. Less than significant impact is anticipated as a result of this project because
mitigation measures are in place for the site and general area of the site.
No Impact. The project site is not subject to inundation by sieche, tsunami, or mudflow as these
events are not known to happen in this region. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or X
natural community conservation plan?
Comments:
No Impact. The project is an industrial building that has been designed to accommodate
manufacturing and warehousing uses within an industrial park containing similar uses. There is no
established residential community on the site nor in the vicinity. Therefore, no impacts as a result of
this project are anticipated.
No Impact. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of BP
(Business Park) and the zoning designation of LI (Light Industrial) which call for the development of
well designed business and employment centers. Typical uses include light manufacturing, storage,
industrial supply and wholesale businesses. The proposed development plan meets the intent of these
designations. Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City
commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact
their particular agency. These agencies were given the opportunity to comment on the project and
their comments are made a part of the Conditions of Approval for the project. The project site has

been previously graded and services have been extended to the area. As a result, the project is not
anticipated to conflict with existing land uses.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project is located within the fee
area for the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Long-Term Habitat Conservation Plan. All development
within this fee area is required to pay a mitigation fee. This project will be required to pay a mitigation

10.a.b. No Impact. The project will not result in the loss of available, known mineral resources or in the loss
of an available, locally important mineral resource recovery site. The State Geologist has classified
the City of Temecula a classification of MRZ-3a, containing areas of sedimentary deposits, which have
the potential for supplying sand and gravel for concrete and crushed stone for aggregate. However, it
has been determined that this area contains no deposits of significant economic value based upon
available data in a report entitled Mineral Land Classification of the Temescal Valley Area, Riverside
County, California, Special Report 165, prepared in accordance with the Surface Mining and
Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

project expose people residing or working in the project
area to excessive noise levels?
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would X
the project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
Comments:
11 .a.,d. Less Than Significant Impact. The project may expose people to severe noise levels during
the development/construction phase (short term). Construction machinery is capable of producing
noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet, which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing
damage from steady 8-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and not long-
term. Construction hours are regulated by the City Development Code, to which the applicant shall
comply. Therefore noise as a result of construction will not be considered significant.
Scott's operations will generate some interior machinery noise, which may make conversation difficult.
However, it is anticipated that exterior noise levels will be no different than other adjacent industrial
uses. In any event, the project's manufacturing operations must comply with the City Development
Code with regard to noise. Any use which generates sounds that are or may be considered a nuisance
or hazard to any adjacent property due to the intermittence, beat, frequency, or shrillness of the
sounds, shall have the source of the noise muffled or otherwise controlled so that the noise is subdued
to acceptable levels. Therefore, noise generated by the project is anticipated to be within industry
standards, and impacts of this project are less than significant.
11.b.,c. Less Than Significant Impact. The uses conducted by the project are not activities that
would expose persons to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundbome noise levels.
Processes such as injection molding, packaging and warehousing are typical manufacturing uses and
similar to existing uses in the Westside Business Park. While industrial development will create noise
levels greater than the currently vacant land, long-term noise generated by this project would be within
the limits of the General Plan and Development Code standards. No impacts are anticipated.

Less Than Significant The project may result in tempor~!"~or periodic increases in ambient
noise levels during construction. As mentioned in response 1 l.a. construction machinery is capable of
producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet, which is considered annoying. However, this
source of noise from construction of the project will be of short duration and therefore would not be
considered significant. Furthermore, construction activity will comply with City ordinances regulating
the hours of activity. A less than significant impact would be anticipated.
No Impact. This project is not within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, therefore,
employees working in the project area will not be exposed to excessive noise levels generated by an
airport. Consequently no impact is anticipated as a result of this project.

Comments:
12.a.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either
directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of BP
(Business Park) and Zoning Designation of LI (Light Industrial). The proposed industrial development
will cause some people to relocate to, or within the Temecula area. However, it will not induce
substantial growth beyond what is projected in the City's General Plan. Further, the project is
anticipated to create jobs for existing local residents, which would contribute to the favorable balance
of jobs to housing ratio for the City.
12.b.c. No Impact. The project will not displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing as the site
is vacant property zoned Light Industrial (LI). Additionally, the project site is located within an existing
industrial park which does not permit residential development. The project will neither displace housing
or people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing. No impacts are anticipated as a
result of this project.

the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. It may result in an
incremental impact or in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other
recreational facilities. The same is true for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or
opportunities. The project will cause some employees to relocate from existing facilities elsewhere in
Southern California to the City of Temecula. However, the proposed project provides an 800 square
foot exercise room onsite, as well as shower facilities for both men and women. There is also a full-
service cafeteria and covered employee plaza. The applicant shall be required to pay Development
Impact Fees, which contribute towards the provision of recreational facilities in the City. With the

Comments:
15.a,b. Less Than Significant Impact. The General Plan has established Level of Service (LOS) D as the
lowest acceptable level of service for traffic circulation within the City of Temecula. The applicant
prepared a focused traffic study at the request of the City's Traffic Engineer, entitled Focused
Transportation Analysis, Revised dated September 26, 2000 by Urban Systems Associates, Inc. The
Analysis reviewed the existing condition, as well as the impacts of the proposed project at two major
intersections that would be affected by the project.
The existing condition shows the Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue intersection functioning at LOS D
or better. With project traffic added, and with approved or pending projects in the vicinity also included,
this intersection would continue to operate at acceptable levels during peak hours. No traffic related
improvements are needed or recommended at this location.
Analysis of the existing condition at the intersection of Diaz Road/Winchester Road, however, shows
that the intersection is functioning at an LOS E during the AM peak hour and LOS F during'the PM
peak. This intersection is currently being controlled with the use of stop signs in ail directions, which
results in delay. According to the Study, a Caltrans traffic signal warrant analysis has been prepared
which indicates that volumes are sufficient to meet eight of the eleven Caltrans traffic signal warrants
so that a traffic signal should be installed to replace the all ways stop signs and improve the LOS by
reducing delays to motorists. The Study was performed based on existing impacts without the
addition of the proposed project. With signalization assumed, this intersection is expected to operate
at LOS "C" in the a.m. and "D" in the p.m. peak hours, with or without the proposed project traffic
added. LOS "D" or better is an acceptable LOS in accordance with the policies within the General
Plan. The project has been conditioned to install the traffic signal prior to occupancy, with
reimbursement from the City's DIF fund for cost of design and installation.
According to Rule 2202 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, businesses employing
over 250 employees shall prepare a Traffic Demand Management Plan to address traffic impacts and
resultant air quality impacts. In this case, the applicant proposed several amenities in the project
design, such as onsite exercise room and showers, full-service cafeteria and employee plaza, and
preferred parking for car pools, van pools, motorcycles and bicycles. With amenities that encourage
alternative modes of transportation and trip reduction measures, the project has met the intent and
objectives of Rule 2202. Less than significant impacts to the traffic, congestion and circulation, either
individually or cumulatively, is anticipated with this project.
15.c.d.No Impact. The proposed development of this property will not result in a change in air traffic patterns
by increasing the traffic levels in the vicinity. The site is not within the French Valley Airport's flight
overlay district. The design of the project will not pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the
people utilizing the roads in ~the vicinity of the project because there are no sharp curves or dangerous
intersections proposed. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.e.
No Impact. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses.
The project is an industrial building for manufacturing and warehousing use in a developing industrial
park. The project, as designed, complies with current City standards and has adequate emergency
access. No impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
15.f.
No Impact. The proposed development complies with the City's Development Code parking
requirements for industrial uses. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this
project.
15.g.
No Impact. The project as proposed does not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs
supporting alternative transportation. Scotts operates 24-hours each day, seven days each week, with
three 8-hopur shifts. To accommodate the 350 to 500 employees, the applicant has provided
motorcycle and bicycle parking, van pool and car pool spaces, all as preferential spaces at the main
entry. As a consequence, the project supports alternative transportation, and no impact is anticipated.

Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements,
require the construction of new treatment facilities, nor affect the capacity of treatment providers. The
project will have an incremental effect upon existing systems. However, the Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "implementation of the proposed General
Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services." Since the project is consistent with the City's
General Plan, less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
16.c.
No Impact. The Drainage Study prepared for the underlying Tentative Parcel Map No. 29895
indicated that the amount of runoff from the project is not anticipated to be any greater than what was
anticipated by construction of the site. Consequently construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities are not anticipated.
16.d.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not significantly impact existing water supplies nor

indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR
further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact
wastewater services (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The Rancho California Water District, in
correspondence dated September 26, 2000, indicates that the project site is located within the
R:\D P\00-0335 Scott's Manufacturing - Fasttrack\Initial Study,doc

boundaries of the and sewer service is ava upon completion of financial
arrangements. Less than significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.
16.f.g. Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not result in a need for new landfill capacity. Any
potential impacts from solid waster created by this development can be mitigated through participation
in Source Reduction and Recycling Programs, which are implemented by the City. Less than
significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~,~pact Incorporated Impact impact
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality X
of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population
to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate
a plant or animal community, reduce the number of
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal
or eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively X
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future projects?
c. Does the project have environmental effects which will X
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
17.a.
No Impact. The project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment on site
or in the vicinity of the project. The site lies within a partially developed business/industrial park and
has been rough graded to accommodate industrial development. The project will not substantially
reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife because plants found on the site are limited to
residential/urban/exotic non-native grassland, which is not particularly suited for protected species. No
historic resources are anticipated to be impacted because grading has already occurred on the site,
under monitoring agreements and conditions of approval to properly dispose of recovered cultural
artifacts and/or human remains.
17.b.
Less Than Significant Impact. Cumulative impact analysis was conducted for the project with
regards to drainage, traffic, air quality, noise and service systems. In all aspects, the proposed
development is consistent with the General Plan designation for the property, and as such, impacts
generated by the proposed development are no greater than what is anticipated at buildout of the
city.
17.c.
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project was analyzed with
regards to noise, hazards and geologic events. In all aspects, the project has been designed or
conditioned to reduce impacts with certain mitigation measures. With these measures in place, less
than significant impacts are anticipated. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared to
incorporate all mitigation measures imposed on this project. The Mitigation monitoring Program
accompanies this document.

18. EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR,
or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or
negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following
on attached sheets.
a. Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which affects from the above check list were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the eadier analysis.
c. Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and
the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
18.a.
An earlier Environmental Initial Study was conducted for the underlying parcel map (Tentative Parcel
Map No. 28657) and circulated on March 13, 1998. The proposed determination of this study was that
the project did not have a significant effect on the environment, prompting the preparation of a
Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring Program.
A number of studies that were conducted for a previous subdivision (Tentative Parcel Map 28657)
which included this property. These studies include: a "Fault Location Investigation" by EnGen
Corporation dated August 29, 1997; a "Drainage Study" by HLC Civil Engineering, received
September 23, 1997; a "Traffic Review" by RKJK dated 1990 and an updated RKJK letter dated
October 3, 1997; a "Biological Survey and Assessment" by Paul Principe & Associates dated January
1983; a "Biological Assessment" by Howard Lee dated January 4, 1988; a "Paleontological Survey &
Assessment" by Paul Langenwalter il, dated January 1989; an "Archaeological Assessment" by
Christopher E. Drover, Ph.D dated January 28, 1989; an "Architectural Guideline and Design Manual
for Westside Business Centres"; a "Phase I Quino Checkerspot Butterfly Study" by Principe &
Associates dated March 5, 1998.
With the exception of the archeological study and fault location investigation, none of these studies
were used in this analysis due to their age. Reference was briefly made to this document. The City's
General Plan and Final Environment Impact Report were used as a referenced source in preparing
this Initial Study.
18.b. There were no earlier impacts which affected this project.
18.c. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared for this project and is attached to this document.

The Development Plan was submitted as a formal application to the Planning Department on June
30, 2000. A Development Review Committee meeting was held July 20, 2000. The Development
Plan was deemed complete on October 18, 2000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Development Plan is a proposal to design, construct, and operate a 6,150 square foot Outback
Steakhouse Restaurant within the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center. The applicant is
proposing to employ approximately 25 employees per shift to service the sit down restaurant with a
full service bar. The typical hours of operation will be from 3 PM to 1 AM seven days per week, with
the flexibility to open for lunch on special occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day,
Thanksgiving, etc.

ANALYSIS
Site Desi.qn
The project is generally located at the northwest corner of the Winchester Road/Roripaugh Road
intersection within the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center. Parking for the project is located
along the northerly and westerly sides of the building. The applicant is required to provide 62
vehicle parking spaces (including 3 handicapped accessible parking spaces), 3 motorcycle parking
spaces, and 2 bicycle parking spaces. The site plan indicates that the applicant is providing 78
vehicle parking spaces (including 4 handicapped accessible parking spaces), 3 motorcycle parking
spaces1 and 3 bicycle parking spaces.
The lot coverage and floor area ratio (FAR) for the project have been calculated to be 11% and 0.11
respectively, which is within range of the 30% lot coverage and 0.30 target FAR that is permitted by
the Development Code. The site layout is consistent with the conceptual layout for the Center.
AccessI Traffic and Circulation
The project site is located within the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center. Access to the project
is gained through the entrances to the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center from both Winchester
and Roripaugh Roads. The Public Works Department has reviewed this project and has determined
that the impacts of the project will not be significant. In addition, the Fire Safety Division has
reviewed the project and has determined that emergency vehicles will have access to all parts of the
site.
Architecture, Color and Materials
The applicant is proposing to build a prototypical Outback Steakhouse Restaurant utilizing colors
that, while not consistent with the approved color palette for the Winchester Meadows Shopping
Center, are compatible. The existing center has an approved color scheme consisting of beiges,
blues and greens. Outback is proposing beige stucco similar to the approved center; however their
roof color is a different shade of green than that approved for the Winchester Meadows Shopping
Center. In addition, Outback is proposing a metal seam roof which is atypical of any of the other
roofing types already contained in the shopping center. Staff has been working with the applicant to
obtain a less prototypical architecture for the building. However, the applicant feels strongly that the
architecture proposed is reflective of their corporate image.

Architecturally, the style of the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center includes tower elements and
cornice treatments. It is staff's feeling, however, that since the project site is located away from the
core of the center, there is some flexibility with respect to the architectural design of the proposed
restaurant. Staff does have some concerns, however, with the current architecture shown for the
restaurant.
Staff has requested the applicant incorporate some of the shopping center elements into the
restaurant, however, the applicant has expressed a strong desire to have the Outback look like a
prototypical Outback Steakhouse Restaurant. The result is the product depicted in the building
elevations. However, staff has identified other Outback Steakhouse Restaurants in Southern
California that do have different architectural features that those shown on the proposed elevations
for the Temecula restaurant. These are shown in Attachment 3 to the staff report. Staff is
requesting that the Commission review the information in the staff report and based upon the
information received at the hearing, direct the applicant to submit revised building elevations that
conform to the Planning Commission's direction.
Finally, staff is recommending that the applicant remove the exposed neon banding that wraps the
eave line of the building. Only one other structure in the Center, a Del Taco, has only a small
amount of accent neon adjacent to their wall signs.
Si.qnage
Signage is not a part of this application. The review of signage will be conducted under a separate
application at a later date.
Landscaping
The Development Code requires projects within the Community Commercial (CC) Zone to provide a
minimum landscaping and open space area of 20% of the project site. The amount of landscape
materials proposed by the applicant is approximately 26% of the project site (14,441 square feet).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff has reviewed the project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based
upon staff's review, the proposed project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Section
15332 of the CEQA Guidelines based on the following reasons:
The site is 1.29 acres which is less than the 5 acres required
The proposed development is consistent with the existing development in the area
The site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species
The site will be adequately served by public utilities and services
The Outback Steakhouse Restaurant is being approved pursuant to the zoning and
general plan designations for the site.
EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is CC (Community Commercial). Existing
zoning for the site is CC (Community Commercial). A variety of commercial uses are permitted
within this zone, with the approval of a Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the
Development Code. The project as proposed, meets all minimum standards of and is consistent
with, the General Plan, Development Code and the Design Guidelines.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project has been determined by staff to be consistent with all applicable City ordinances,
standards, guidelines and policies. It is staffs opinion that the project is compatible with
surrounding developments in terms of design and quality.
FINDINGS
Development Plan
The proposal is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for (CC)
Community Commercial development in the City of Temecula General Plan, as well as the
development standards for (CC) Community Commercial Zone 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 commercial 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 Citywide
Design Guidelines, and fire and building codes.
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation 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.
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. The site is
surrounded by development and is an in-fill site. Furthermore, grading has already occurred
at the site, which is a portion of a commercial shopping center. As a result, there are no fish,
wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish, wildlife or habitat
off-site. The project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife
resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code

testimony, the Commission approved Planning Application No. 00-0260 subject to the conditions
after finding that the project proposed in Planning Application No. 00-0260 conformed to the City of
Temecula General Plan and Development 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. Findin,qs. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No.
00-0260 (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
(CC) Community Commercial development in the City of Temecula General Plan, as well as the
development standards for (CC) Community 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 density of commercial 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 CityWide Design Guidelines, and fire and building
codes.

B. The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation 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.
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 or wildlife habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish or wildlife
habitat off-site. The site is surrounded by development and is an in-fill site. Furthermore, grading has
already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger commercial shopping center. The project
will 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 for Planning Application
No. 00-0260 was made per the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15332. This
Section allows 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. 00-0260 (Development Plan) for the design,
construction, and operation of a 6,150 square foot Outback Steakhouse Restaurant on
approximately 1.29 vacant acres located at 40275 Winchester Road (Winchester Meadows
Shopping Center), and known as Assessor's Parcel No. 911-770-010 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 November 2000.

Thank you for inquiring about the availability of natural gas for your project. We are pleased to
inform you that Southern California Gas Company has facilities in the area where the above-
named project is proposed. Gas service to the project could be provided from an existing main
located in Roripaugh Road. The service would be in accordance with the Company's policies
and extension rules on file with the California Public Utilities Commission at the time
contractual arrangements are made.
This letter is not a contractual commitment to serve the proposed project, but is only provided as
an informational service. The availability of natural gas service is based upon conditions of gas
supply and regulatory agencies. As a public utility, Southern California Gas Company is under
the jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission. Our ability to serve can also be
affected by actions of federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action, which
affects gas supply, or the conditions under which service is available, gas service will be
provided in accordance with revised conditions. This letter is also provided without considering
any conditions or non-utility laws and regulations (such as environmental regulations) which
could affect actual construction of a main or service line extension (for example, if hazardous
wastes were encountered in the process of installing the line). Those, of course, can only be
determined around the time contractual arrangements are made and construction is begun.
If you need assistance choosing the appropriate gas equipment for your project, or would like to
discuss the most effective applications of energy efficiency techniques, please contact your area
Project Manager at (909) 335-3907.
Thank you again for choosing clean, reliable, and safe natural gas, your best energy value.

BACKGROUND
The applicant began working with the City this summer and an application was formally submitted to
the Planning Department on August 1, 2000. A Development Review Committee meeting was held
on August 31, 2000, and the project was deemed complete on October 31, 2000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a Development Plan to build and operate a 6,410 square foot restaurant
with a 984 enclosed dining patio and a 529 square foot service area totaling 7,923 square feet
known as Johnny Cadno's. This is an Italian restaurant that presents itself as Italian country style
dining. It has seating for 228 people inside and 58 seats on the patio.
ANALYSIS
Site Desi,qn and Circulation
This project is located on a 1.23-acre site (Pad I of the mall out lots). Surrounding the site are the
Original Roadhouse Grill (under construction) to the west, T.G.I.F. restaurant to the north, the
Promenade Mall to the south, and to the east is a common parking area used by this site and Pad H.
The proposed building is 7,923 square feet and faces to the southeast fronting to the mall's Ring
R:~D P~00q3301 Johnny C's\Staff report.doc
2
Road. On the northwest side of the building is the drive aisle connection from the Ring Road to
Winchester Road. The site is accessed from this aisle for parking, deliveries and trash pick-up.
Parkin,q Analysis
This restaurant utilizes 3,485 square feet for dining area (dining area and patio). According to the
parking standards, per the "Out Parcels Design Guidelines" of the Temecula Regional Center
Specific Plan, restaurants require 10 spaces per 1000 square feet of dining area. Therefore, they
need to provide 35 parking stalls but will actually provide 58 spaces. Although, this site appears to
have an excess of parking, the site is being developed consistent with the "out-lots" concept plan,
which anticipated a number of restaurant uses and retailers that utilize reciprocal parking.
Architecture & Colors
This restaurant is designed to reflect the architecture found in the countryside of Italy. The main
body of the building appears as if it could be two stories and is finished with river rock stone. Other
exterior walls have a two tone white with tan stucco finish with stone columns and base accenting.
To the left of the front door is an enclosed patio that wraps around the corner of the restaurant. This
patio is covered with a Spanish tile roof, as are the main entry and the main building element. The
pitched roof on the sides of the restaurant will be finished with a "Slate Green" tile roof. Other accent
feature such as the wooden beams and struts supporting the roof, window framing, shutters, and
trellises all lend to the buildings style and character.
Landscaping
The overall site has 22.5 percent landscaping which includes landscaping and hardscape (plaza
entry) and exceeds the Outlot Design Guidelines and the Temecula Regional Center. Shrubs,
ground cover and trees are provided all around the building and are designed to compliment the
building and provide additional interest drawing customers to the front entry. Staff has recommend a
few modifications to the perimeter landscaping along the Ring Road and the access aisle for
consistency with the Design Guidelines and the existing plants. To assure for this consistency
conditions have been included to provide continuity to the neighboring parcels.
Signage
The applicant is proposing four signs identifying the business. Two signs are mounted on the front
and rear towers and two are on the lower side walls. The tower mounted signs are made of broken
tile and the lower signs are painted onto the walls adding to the rustic authentic character of the
building. The lower signs, as depicted on the elevations, scales at four (4) feet, which exceeds the
letter height of three (3) feet specified in the "Outlot Design Guidelines." To assure consistency a
condition has been added to limit the letter height of these signs to three (3) feet.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project is within the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan No. 263 for which an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified. Under California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations)' this
project is exempt and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for Planning Application No. 00-
0301.
Section 15162 applies when an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project,
no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless there are substantial changes not
discussed or examined in the EIR.
R:\D P~00-0301 Johnny C's\Staff report.doc
3
The affected area of the site development meets the criteria noted by developing consistent with the
Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan Ne. 263 (SP-7) land uses, which anticipated mixed uses
including restaurants. Therefore, the proposed project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan 263, Community
Commercial (CC) land use designation of the Temecula General Plan and the Development Code.
Upon approval of the Development Plan as conditioned, the project will meet all of the guidelines and
standards for commercial development prescribed by 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. We believe it is compatible with the nature and quality of surrounding development,
and will represent an attractive, functional and economic addition to the City's commercial and
employment base.
FINDINGS - DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The proposal, a restaurant, is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected
in the Community Commercial (CC) land use standards in the City of Temecula General
Plan, as well as the development standards for Specific Plan (SP-7) 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 commercial 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, Ordinance No. 655 (Mt. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), the City's Water
Efficient Landscaping previsions, and fire and building codes.
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation 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.
