of 45 m.p.h.
· That for every 10 cars, two stopped at the stop sign and that eight slowed down.

By way of overheads, Senior Management Analyst Papagolas presented the staff report (as per
written material) and referenced the Finance Committee's funding recommendations (per
applicant), noting that the requested amount for the Senior Center was no longer necessary
because adequate funds were available to complete the desired improvements.
In the event CDBG funding were greater or less than estimated, Finance Director Roberts advised
that all requests would be equally adjusted.
In light of the $5,000 request, Mayor Pro Tern Roberts expressed concern with this year's funding
recommendation of $1,934 for the Friends of the Temecula Library. With regard to Alternatives to
Domestic Violence, YMCA, and the Boys & Girls Club of Temecula, Mr. Roberts requested that
those funds be approved with the stipulation that allocated funds be utilized for the citizens of
Temecula.
As a result of last year's Pechanga fire, Mr. Wayne Hall, 27715 Jefferson, Suite 117, representing
the American Red Cross, advised that the lack of radio/communication equipment was discovered.
Commenting on the funding request of $16,867 in order to purchase such equipment, Mr. Hall
expressed appreciation for the $10,000 funding recommendation but advised that the new office in
the City of Temecula has the appropriate manpower but that it does not have the appropriate
equipment.
Addressing Mayor Pro Tem Roberts' comment with regard to funding for the Library, Councilman
Stone, echoed by Mayor Comerchero, commented on the difficulty of making these funding
allocations but having reviewed the City Council's history in supporting the Friends and the Library,
it was the Finance Committee's opinion that the City has fulfilled its sincere obligation of supporting
the Friends and ultimately the building a new library in the City.
For Mr. Hall, Councilman Stone encouraged American Red Cross to apply for upcoming
Community Services Funding.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Roberts moved to approve the staff recommendation with the stipulation
that the monies for Alternatives to Domestic Violence, Boys & Girls Club of Temecula, and YMCA
be retained in the City to service the residents of the City. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Stone and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.

Planning Director Ubnoske reviewed the staff report (of record); addressed the December 6,
1999 Planning Commission recommendation to approve the project subject to 12 modifications;
advised that the modifications have been added to the conditions of approval (as per written
material); and noted that staff concurred with 6 of the 12 modifications, stating the following:
R:\Minutes\010901
9
Modifications recommended by the PlanninR Commission
Augment the Mitigation Monitoring Program with the General Plan FIR mitigations
o That Condition No. 6 of the Specific Plan requires the applicant to comply with all
applicable mitigation measures contained in the adopted City of Temecula
General Plan; staff is of the opinion that there is sufficient language in the
condition of approval to assure compliance with these mitigation measures
Specify only one option for narrower streets
o That it is important to have flexibility with respect to the street sections and that
Condition No. 15 of the Specific Plan addresses narrower streets
Require that the City hire an architect consultant to review the Planned Development
Overlay
o That the language in Condition No. 16 of the Specific Plan was changed to read
as follows: When courtyard homes are implemented, a Planned
Development Overlay (PDO) shall be submitted for review and approval by
the Planning Commission as opposed to a Planned Development Overlay;
that because design guidelines in the Specific Plan are sufficient and because
the Planning Commission and staff review the PDO, staff has concerns with
hiring an outside architect
· Delete the split garage option
o That staff would request flexibility with regard to this item
Require garages in lieu of carports in the multi-family senior housing projects
o That staff would request flexibility with regard to this item; that the project is a 10-
year build out project and that it would be difficult to determine, at this point in
time, what the market may dictate in the future
Require Product Review approval from the Planning Commission
o That the Development Code requires that product review is discussed at the
Director's hearing and that deviating from that process would require a change to
the Development Code.
With regard to Condition No. 12 of the Specific Plan, Councilman Stone requested that the term
church site be changed to religious institution.
For Councilman Pratt, Planning Director Ubnoske advised that there is a distance requirement
imposed by ABC between religious institutions and bars/taverns.
In response to Councilman Naggar, Planning Commissioner Mathewson addressed the six
modifications with which the Planning Commission and staff did not Concur, noting the following:
Augment the Mitigation Monitoring Program with the General Plan EIR mitigations
o Planning Commission was desirous of another level of assurance as to the
compliance of the mitigation measures;
Planning Director Ubnoske noted that this matter is addressed in the actual
condition of approval.
· Specify only one option for narrower streets
R:\Minutes\010901
10
o Planning Commission was desirous of narrower streets to create a more
pedestrian friendly/traffic calming measure;
Planning Director Ubnoske noted that staff would concur with the Commission
and that proposed Condition No. 15 would address that matter.
Require that the City hire an architect consultant to review the PDO
o Planning Commission viewed the hiring of an architect as an opportunity to
ensure high quality architectural treatment throughout the site; Planning
Commission was desirous of reviewing product design and that the hiring of an
architect would assist in that review process.
Delete
o
the split garage option
Planning Commission was desirous of minimizing the appearance of an
automobile-based development and wanted the appearance of less-garage
oriented development
Require garages in lieu of carports in the multi-family senior housing projects
o Planning Commission received public input in support garages rather than
carports.
· Require Product Review approval from the Planning Commission
o Planning Commission was desirous to participate in the produce review approval.
To address the Planning Commission's desire to participate in the product review, Mayor
Comerchero suggested the formation of a Planning Commission subcommittee, comprised of
two Planning Commissioners, that would partake in the Director's hearings and provide input as
to product review.
As to the hiring of an architect, Deputy City Manager Thornhill commented on staffing as well as
budgetary concerns, noting that a Specific Plan is developed with the intent to develop design
guidelines which permit creativity and flexibility. 'To further address that Planning Commission's
desires, Mr. Thornhill suggested that the Commission readdress the design guidelines to their
satisfaction.
In response to Councilman Naggar, Deputy City Manager Thornhill confirmed that the City does
staff a landscape architect and that a vast majority of landscape review is for
commercial/industrial projects which are not part of a Specific Plan and, therefore, have no real
design guidelines.
Although understanding Deputy City Manager Thornhill's comments, Councilman Stone as well
concurred with Mayor Comerchero's suggestion to create a Planning Commission
subcommittee to attend Director's hearing in order to review product design.
In response to Mayor Comerchero's recommendation to form a Planning Commission
subcommittee, Deputy City Manager Thornhill advised that the Director's hearing occur during
the day time and that the attendance of two Planning Commissioners would impose noticing
requirements. In an effort to address the Commission's concerns, Mr. Thornhill suggested to
meet with the Chair or designated Planning Commissioners to address the matter.
For Councilman Stone, Community Services Director Parker advised that the City has required
other Specific Plans, with respect to parklands, to use reclaimed water at park sites.

Mr. William Griffith, applicant, 15751 Rockfield, #100, Irvine, introduced Mr. Sam Alhadeff,
45730 Enterprise Circle South (representing the applicant), who, in turn, referenced Councilman
Pratt's statement read into the record with regard to growth management and traffic and
expressed concern as to Mr. Councilman Pratt's potential inability to compromise his views as it
relates to this project.
In response to Mr. Alhadeff, City Attorney Thorson noted that if Councilman Pratt were of the
opinion that he cannot vote for this type of project, as a Specific Plan, because of traffic issues,
he is not precluded from voting; that City Councilmembers are entitled and may discuss general
issues about traffic; that the only concern would be whether or not taking a position on a specific
project; and that this project being a Specific Plan does not preciude a City Councilmember from
expressing a view with regard to the specific proposal.
Addressing the proposed project, Mr. Griffith commented on the following:
· that the project began approximately three years ago and that he has worked with
members of staff, community, homeowners associations, School District,
Assessment District, County Agencies, Pechanga Band of Indians, etc.
· that the development plan is a well thought out community
· that this project will attempt to address current deficiencies as referenced in the
City's General Plan
By way of overheads, Mr. Griffith noted that all components of this project include 113 acres and
proceeded with a brief history description of the area of discussion, noting that the City has
experienced rapid growth and that as part of this growth, he has participated in the dedication of
right-of-ways, drainage easements, formation of AD 159 for the construction and funding of
major infrastructure components to support the growth not only of this property by surrounding
properties; and that he has attempted to work with neighbors through public meetings, focus
sessions and negotiations to address deficiencies which exist in this part of the City.
Proceeding with the presentation of the proposed plan, Mr. Griffith noted the following:
· that traffic is a major issue as are traffic mitigation measures
· that originally under the General Plan, the project had a targeted density of 2,600 to
2,700 units; that under the Growth Management Policy, the project is at 1,890 units
and a total of approximately 2,000 units with the senior housing option
· that, as per his calculations, the maximum allowable units under the General Plan
would be 3,500 units.
By way of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Barry Burnell of T&B Planning, 3242 Halladay, #100,
Santa Ana, representing the applicant, addressed the elements of the project and its location,
noting the following:
· that Assessment District 159 was established in 1989 and the Wolf Creek project
has paid into this Assessment District on the assumption and expectation, based on
the City's General Plan, that there would be a development project on this site
· that the project site is almost completely surrounded by development and
developing areas with the exception on the south side which is vacant and cleared
land and which is part of the Redhawk project and slated for medium density
residential development and highway tourist commercial and one alternative
location for a new high school site
· that the proposed project is bound by Pala Road on the west; Wolf Valley Road
runs through the middle of the project to the east into the Redhawk project area;
R:\Minutes\010901
14
Loma Linda is on the north edge of the project; Fairview Road is on the southend
and Via del Coronado is between the residential areas and the northeast corner of
the project leading to Ken Hintegardt Park
· that theeGeneral Plan, as adopted in the early 1990s, reflected this project as a Iow-
medium density project with a central core area of high density on both sides of the
neighborhood and community commercial and reflected open space facilities in
three locations as well as public institutional uses (three anticipated sites -
elementary, middle, and high school sites); that the General Plan, when adopted,
reflected the Redhawk area as Iow-medium density as well as the adjacent areas as
well as the area on the west side of Pala Road
· that the Village Center component has also been designated in the General Plan
· Land Use Plan - submitted with the Environmental Impact Report; target density
under the General Plan would be 2,601 units with several options, if the schools
were not developed, for increasing the number of units; that the high school site will
be eliminated; that the Village Center evolved as did the green belt along Pala
Road, the linear parks, the two school site (elementary and middle), private
recreation area, fire station facility; that the multi-family housing with the exception
of senior housing (Planning Area 18) has been eliminated; that all 4,000 to 4,500
square foot single-family residential lots have been eliminated, requiring a minimum
lot size of 5,000 square feet to be located immediately adjacent to the Village
Center and adjacent to Redhawk; that the Village Center will be compatible with its
surrounding neighbors and that access to the Center as all other noted facilities with
the exception of the private recreation area will be available to the public and the
cost will be borne by the Wolf Creek project
· That a religious institution will be permitted use in the Village Center concept
· That the private recreation facility will include a junior Olympic pool and water play
area and meeting hall
· That the proposed project has a mixture of uses which are not being amended only
rearranged; that because of the high school site relocating, the public/institufion
facilities component will be a somewhat lower and that there will be an increase in
the open with the addition of the 40-acre sports park
· That the General Plan reflects a high density of 3,236 and a Iow density of 1,889;
that the project was originally submitted at 2,601 units; and that the current project
is at 1,881 without the senior housing component and at 2,222 units with the senior
housing component
· That added project amenities include the following:
· Narrower street section, separated parkway, and sidewalks within the
local street system
· Added a center median on Wolf Valley Road adjacent to the Village
Center
· 6-acre neighborhood park
· 40-acre City sports park
· recreation center and its components
For Councilman Naggar, Mr. Burnell noted that both school sites are subject to a school
mitigation and acquisition agreement which would have covered the high school as well but was
deleted; that both school sites are under contract with the School District; that the middle school
is under construction; that, as long as this project proceeds, no homes will be built on these two
sites; and that the water play area would be located in the 3.5 acre private area. Mr. Burnell
also provided clarification as to the trail system of the Specific Plan, commenting on paths and
types of trails.
R:\Minutes\010901
15
Expressing concern with regard to the requested lot coverage of 40% to 55% considering the
Development Code permits a lot coverage of 35% for medium and Iow-medium density, Mr.
Griffith noted that the purpose of the requested lot coverage would be to create flexibility; noted
that the 55% lot coverage would only be permitted for single-story structures; and stated that the
lots would be subject to design review.
Mr. Burnell, for Councilman Stone, advised that the paseos, as well as the trails, will be lit by the
street lighting system. Councilman Stone relayed his support of the landscaped median on Wolf
Valley Road and the green belt along Pala Road. Mr. Burnell advised that the maintenance of
the trails will be maintained by a Community Service Level.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Roberts, Mr. Gdffith advised that it would be punitive that the
onus of the parkway maintenance be on the homeowners association and that a condition has
been accepted to plant the parkways in front of the schools to ensure landscaping compatibility
with the rest of the community.
Councilman Stone requested that the ingress/egress of the schools be properly engineered to
assist with the mitigation of traffic gridlock at schools. For Mr. Stone, Mr. Burnell advised that
the split garage concept would create varying setbacks.
With regard to the proposed sports park configurations, Mayor Comerchero noted that they
were only conceptual in nature in an effort to demonstrate possibilities.
Councilman Naggar requested that the split garage homes be designed in a fashion to ensure
visibility of the front of the house from the front of the property. In response to Mr. Naggar, both
Deputy City Manager Thornhill and Mr. Griffith advised that the request could be written into the
design guidelines.
Responding to Councilman Stone's suggestion to request the developer to install earthquake
gas valves, Deputy City Manager Thornhill noted that the matter could be explored at the
discretion of the Building and Safety Official. Mr. Stone encouraged a City incentive to ensure
installation of such gas valves at all private residences.
By way of a matrix, Mr. Bob Kahn, traffic consultant for the project, addressed the traffic levels
of service, noting the following:
· that the overriding consideration in the traffic analysis was to ensure the City's
goals/objectives of achieving Level of Service D were maintained;
· that the traffic study was completed over two years ago; that the trip generation was
based on 2,600 units which has been reduced to 1,900 units and, thereby, creating
an overall trip reduction by 26%;
· that the project, if approved, will be contributing to substantial widening and right-of-
way dedications to Pala Road;
· that the project will padicipate in the funding of improvements along SR79 through
the Assessment District;
· that the project will be phased and will still achieve the Level of Service D
requirement of the City.
By way of charts, Mr. Camille Bahri, representing the applicant, further defined the various
stages of the project and the expected Level of Service at each stage, commenting on
timeframe, funding, extent of needed improvements per stage, noting that the anticipated
project build out would be 2009, stating the following:
R:\Minutes\010901
16
· that a condition has been imposed with regard to Pala Road, advising that if the
Level of Service were to deteriorate below D, the issuance of building permits would
stop;
· that the project conforms and complies with the City's current General Plan.
As to the traffic analysis, Mr. Griffith clarified that the traffic analysis, based on land availability
and capacity, includes a tripling of the level of operation at Pechanga casino; that many of the
improvements along Pala Road, SR 79, and the SR79 interchange at Interstate 15 have been
included as part of the global financing for this portion of the City through Assessment District
159; that Wolf Creek's contribution to the funding of the Pala Road Corridor ($17 million project)
will be $6.8 million (43%); and that Wolf Creek could utilize AD 159 to fund its portion or could
create a Community Facilities District.
Mr. Griffith advised that AD 159 has funded the following projects in the past years:
· approximately $1.2 million dollar toward the interchange expansion
· SR79 - $6.4 million
· Additional monies have been authorized and are available for continued expansion
of SR79 and the interchange improvements
In response to Councilman Naggar, who relayed his support of road improvements being
completed prior to the issuance of building permits, Mr. Griffith advised that two proposals have
been discussed for the expansion of Pala Road, stating the following:
· Four-lane interim expansion
· Ultimate improvements - six-lane - includes SR79, the remodification of the
intersection to the south of Deer Hollow Road, striping, right-of-way acquisitions,
sound wall, storm drain facilities, and signals
· That pending the City's decision as to which proposal, the developer would be ready
to proceed with either.
Although the decision as to whether to proceed with the four-lane or six-lane improvements
would be the City's, Public Works Director Hughes advised that it would as well depend on the
available bonding capacity this property has in place; that the project has been imposed a
condition to have in place a financing and implementation program of either proposal prior to the
issuance of any building permits; and that it would be approximately two to three years until the
City would derive any benefit from the ultimate improvements (6 lanes), noting that the
developer may not proceed until the funding is secured for the permanent improvements.
In response to Councilman Stone, Mayor Pro Tem Roberts advised that, although to no avail to
this point in time, he has attempted to meet with Mr. Mark Macarro, representing Pechanga, to
discuss Pechanga's financial commitment to the ultimate improvements.
If Pechanga were not to participate in a financial commitment for these improvements, Public
Works Director Hughes, for Councilman Naggar, noted that the onus would be on the
developer.
In light of Councilman Pratt's suggestion, City Attorney Thorson and Councilman Stone
suggested that Mayor Comerchero and Mayor Pro Tem Roberts proceed with efforts to meet as
quickly as possible with Pechanga representatives.
For Councilman F~'att, Mr. Kahn confirmed that there were no traffic overriding considerations
and that all traffic issues are mitigateable by certain improvements. Mr. Pratt reemphasized his
R:\Minutes\010901
17
encouragement of public transportation to which Mr. Griffith stated that, in his opinion, the
Village Center concept, the paseo system, the land use relationships are current in terms of
transportation planning and, therefore, minimizing unnecessary trips.
Although appreciating Councilman Pratt's concern with the current autoculture, Councilman
Stone noted that the proposed project is a pure Village Center concept; that the City will
address County development along the City's periphery; and that the City may not hold the
developer responsible for County impacts.
To address Councilman Naggar's comments with regard to overriding consideration for air
quality, Ms. Laura Stetson, Cotton Bridges Associates, representing the applicant, noted the
following:
That the project does have significant air quality impacts
That mitigation measures have been imposed to lessen the pollutant emissions
(referencing the Executive Summary of the Environmental Impact Report)
· Work with Riverside Transit Authority to establish transit stops within the
commercial developments and other sites within the development
· Comply with all energy conservation measures in place at the time the
development proceeds
· Provide energy-efficient lighting
City Attorney Thorson as well referenced the findings noted on pages 48 - 51 of the Statement
of Findings and Fact (Wolf Creek Specific Plan) - Section 6 - Project Benefits and Statement of
Overriding Considerations.
For Councilman Naggar, Ms. Stetson advised that the Environmental Impact Report was
completed in August 2000 and that it was completed at a worst-case scenario - during peak
hour traffic and density at 2,241 units at build out with the inclusion of a high school site.
Deputy City Manager Thornhill noted that since the City's incorporation, density has been
reduced by 6 to 10%; that the cumulative impact analysis of the EIR was based on information
from the 1993 General Plan EIR; that the General Plan EIR was extraordinarily conservative;
that the analysis for the project is based on current traffic numbers and current methodologies of
'South Coast Air Quality Management District; and that the analysis does not factor any other
improvements as a result of new rules and regulations which will as well have beneficial results
to the project as to the entire South Coast basin.
With Mayor Comerchero requesting an extension past 11:00 P.M., Councilman Stone requested
to agendize the policy of extending adjournment times.
At this time, Mayor Comerchero opened the public hearing.
Mr. Tyler Bailey, 44763 Calle Banuelas, informed the Councilmembers that he currently plays
Pop Warner Football and noted that the fields are overcrowded and that more fields with lights
are needed.
Ms. Linda Weimann, 43330 Calie Mataro, representing Pop Wamer, relayed her support of the
project because of the sports park as well the other numerous amenities being provided by the
developer.
R:\Minutes\010901
18
This being the first planned community he has seen coming to the City of Temecula, Mr. Doug
Haserot, 41976 Avenida Aluanndo, representing Temecula Soccer Club, addressed the City's
current need for lit fields and spoke in support of the project.
Although the proposed project has progressed, Mr. Mark Broderick, 45501 Clubhouse, noted
that a sports park would be a welcomed feature but not one worth the number of impacts.
Commenting on the noise impacts, Mr. Broderick requested the construction of a sound wall
extending along Pala Road to Rainbow Canyon. He as well requested that the ultimate
improvements (6 lanes) on Pala Road be approved versus the four-lane interim proposal;
expressed concern with compatibility of existing adjacent land use; traffic circulation, suggesting
the construction of an additional arterial route for the area of discussion; air quality, noting a
reduction in the Planning Areas would lessen the impact; noted that the Traffic Circulation
General Plan was certified in 1993; that the Wolf Creek traffic analysis was prepared in 1998;
that the City's commissioned a traffic study in 1999 which reflected 14.6% higher than the
projected; and submitted a petition (signed by 536 residents) relaying the residents' desire for
lots in the range of 7,200 square feet.
Concurring with the 1999 Wilbur Smith traffic study which reflected that even with the
improvements of six lanes in the area of discussion, Councilman Naggar noted that traffic would
still be operating at a Level of Service F at Bedford Court and La Paz and the interchange. In
an effort to receive additional clarification, Mr. Naggar noted that the study was completed with
a calculation figure of approximately 3,600 dwelling units and since those number of units will
decrease, so will the traffic impact. For Mr. Naggar, Public Works Director Hughes stated that
the removal of the traffic light at Bedford Court would as well assist traffic flow in the area; noted
that the signal at Bedford Court will begin to break down and exceed Level of Service D
because of its close proximity of and operation of the sequence of the northbound ramp signals
and Bedford Court; and advised that alternatives to the removal could be limited to right in/right
out or the signal operation be removed but left turn be permitted into the project, noting that the
matter will have to be addressed in the future but not necessarily in conjunction with this project.
Viewing the project as acceptable if densities were reduced, Mr. Broderick suggested the
reduction of 56 dwelling units from the single-family residential and 28 units from Planning Area
18 (multi-family senior housing).
Although he has no objection to a housing development and no objection to a sports park, Mr.
Rick Barrera, 45639 Corte Lobos, viewed the proposed project as excessive in relation to the
City's Growth Management Plan, considering the developer is proposing to develop 13% over
the maximum Growth Management Plan because of added amenities. He suggested lowering
the density to 1,500 dwelling units which as well would address traffic impact, Iow-income
housing ratio would be lowered, widening of Pala Road could possibly be left at four lanes, and
air quality impact would be lessened. In his opinion, Mr. Barrera stated that the City has a need
for more quality executive homes.
In response to Mr. Barrera's suggestion to downsize the property to 1,500 dwelling units,
Councilman Naggar advised that such a downsizing would require changing the zone; that the
developer has the right to a minimum number of units under zoning which would be 1,900
without the high school.
City Clerk Jones advised that copies of the letter from Pechanga will be distributed to the City
Council and that a letter of opposition from Ms. Pamela Miod has been distributed to the City
Council.
R:\Minutes\010901

Mayor Pro Tem Roberts suggested that the 1.63 acre lot next the Fire Station be retained as a
transit center which would as well assist with the air quality concerns. Mr. Griffith voiced
concurrence with the suggestion.
Addressing various public comments, Mr. Griffith stated the following:
· That changes to the land use were discussed at the Planning Commission but were not
supported
· That Deer Hollow Road could not be accelerated because of the significant infrastructure
involved; that an alternative offer would be to provide paved, all-weather access
sufficient for the opening of the sports park as part of the completion of the sports park in
the event the high school facility would not proceed and, thereby, alleviating the
condition to build four lanes on that portion of Pala Road
· That a 6-acre community park is being proposed, not a 6.5-acre park
· That the 1.63 acres would be made available to the City as suggested by Mayor Pro
Tem Roberts
· That although it would be anticipated as not necessary, if it were, interim Fire Station
accommodations would be provided at a nominal expense
· That the Development Agreement will be dependent upon the City's commitment to the
Community Facilities District
· That the sound wall issue has been addressed
· That he would be agreeable to constructing the infrastructure and request a
reimbursement but not also the imposition of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee
(TUMF)
· That he would be willing to a $200 per unit fee to be applied toward multi-species habitat
fee and habitat preservation and, therefore, would not be subject to an additional Multi-
Species Habitat fee
· That the requirement of the Level of Service D at the interchange of Highway 15 and
SR79 be removed from the Development Agreement and be placed as a condition
· That the term of the Development Agreement would request that the term begin with the
issuance of the first building permit or an absolute time
· That the maintenance costs of the parkways within the development not be imposed
upon the homeowners association
· That the infrastructure for the use of reclaimed water is not available; if available, would
be willing to proceed with its usage
In closing, Mr. Griffith thanked the City Council, Planning Commissioners, staff, and public for
their patience with regard to this project and requested support of it.
In response to Mr. Griffith, Deputy City Manager Thornhill clarified staff's position as to the
access to the sports park, requiring four lanes, all-weather access; that staff could support the
Community Facilities District; that the Level of Service D issue should be removed from the
Development Agreement and placed as a condition with the inclusion of the Bedford Court and
La Paz and the link between Pala Road and the freeway; that the proposed term for the
Development Agreement would be acceptable; and that the TUMF and Habitat Conservation
fees have been completely mitigated.
Public Works Director Hughes informed the City Council that imposing the six-lane requirement
to Wolf Valley Road rather than what is currently reflected in the Circulation Element (six lanes
to Loma Linda and then extending another 400' south of Loma Linda and then transitioning to
four lanes) would impact the design of this route, advising that the City has invested
approximately $1/2 million in the design with six lanes to Via Gilberto and that the changing of
this design would greatly impact the plans as well as the budget. Mr. Hughes relayed staff's
R:~Vlinutes\010901
20
opinion that the six lanes to Wolf Valley Road would more than double the capacity imagined
necessary and, therefore, would not be necessary.
In response to Councilman Naggar, Deputy City Manager Thornhill advised that the Planning
Commission was not in agreement with Public Works Director Hughes' opinion with regard to
the four lanes versus six lanes but also stated that the Planning Commission, at the time of
review, did not have information available with regard to completed work and design parameters
of the road.
For Planning Commissioner Mathewson, Public Works Director Hughes advised that because
the developer has agreed to construct the sound wall, the construction of it would not be
impacted by the construction of a four lane or six lane route.
City Council straw votes with re.qard to the following issues
Four lanes or six lanes
There was concurrence for a four-lane route as long as the sound wall be constructed
Deer Hollow Road
There was concurrence for the developer to provide an all-weather access to the sports park
with a minimum of two lanes, possibly four, with no relief of four lanes out on Pala Road and half
width if the high school were not constructed.
6.0-acre park not a 6.5 acre-park
There was concurrence with the correction.
Fire Station
There was concurrence that the interim issue would only be proposed in the event something
were to occur that would delay the permanent facility; that the developer would agree to pay for
the cost of manning the station and associated costs with improvements; that staff's
commitment would be to construct the Fire Station on time. Mr. Griffith concurred with the
interim obligation of a Fire Station with the proviso that designing of the station immediately
commence.
Development Agreement Term
There was concurrence that the term would be 10 years from the date of issuance of the first
permit or 24 months from the time approved.
Transportation Uniform Miti.qation Fee
There was concurrence with the $200 per unit requirement and, thereby, satisfying the
requirement for Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan, public art, and open space.
Community Facilities District
It was noted by Mayor Comerchero to support working with the developer to form a CFD but
that approval cannot be guaranteed. Mr. Griffith noted that the City Council's best efforts would
be acceptable. No objections were noted.
R:\Minutes\010901
21
Level of Service D
Key issue included La Paz and Bedford Court and removing the issue from the Development
Agreement and imposing it as a condition. Councilman Naggar noted that by doing so, it would
assist the developer with procuring financing for the CFD.
Parkway Maintenance City or Homeowners Association
It was noted that by accepting the parkway maintenance, a cost would be created as would a
potential liability (anything over a %" rise or differential would be considered a trip hazard) and
that this type of an amenity should be funded, especially in Specific Plans, by the parties
benefiting from it.
In response to Mayor Comerchero, Community Services Director Parker advised that including
parkway maintenance in Service Level C Rates and Charges would not be the norm and that
such costs are usually the obligation of the homeowners association.
There was concurrence that the parkway maintenance obligation be imposed upon the
homeowners association.
Reclaimed water
It was noted that reclaimed water would be used if the infrastructure were available.
MOTION: Councilman Naggar moved to continue this matter to the January 23, 2001, City
Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Stone and voice vote reflected
unanimous approval.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
14 Spring Concert on the Green at the Temecula Duck Pond
RECOMMENDATION:
14.1 Consider allocation $12,000 to the Arts Council of Temecula Valley to provide a
Spring Classical Concert on the Green at the Temecula Duck Pond on May 13,
2001.
Although supporting the concert, Councilman Naggar relayed a concern with the amount of
money allocated in light of the number of people that actually attend and, therefore, suggested
the advertising of a donation/contribution.
Advising that numerous residents have expressed a desire for the return of the Philharmonic
Orchestra, Councilman Stone viewed the proposed allocation as a nominal amount in an effort
to support the Arts.
Viewing Councilman Naggar's suggestion as a well-intentioned one, Mayor Comerchero
suggested that the onus of advertising a donation/contribution should be on the Arts Council.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Roberts moved to approve the staff recommendation. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Stone and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
