Project Planner Naaseh provided a detailed overview of the staff report (of record),
noting that this Item was continued from the January 3, 2001 Planning Commission
meeting in order for the applicant to work with staff to modify the site design, and the
architecture of the buildings; presented the major revisions, as follows: 1) in the area of
the kiosks, the pedestrian area has been expanded to include a plaza, noting that staff
was recommending that the driveway be closed to vehicles in this area, relaying that a
driveway would be added to separate Building K and the kiosks, 2) provided additional
information regarding the redesigned parking plan, noting that the parking in front of the
buildings would be angled-parking, relaying that to eliminate the parking in this area
completely would reduce the parking by approximately 60 spaces which could cause a
negative impact due to the proposed restaurant uses, 3) in the area of the access link
road, noted that this drive aisle has been eliminated subject to the approval of Rancho
Water District and the Fire Department, 4) with respect to fire access behind Buildings F,
G, H, and I, noted that based on discussions with the Fire Department a connection in
this area was not necessary for fire access to the buildings, 5) with respect to the
berming and screening of the parking lots from the perimeter of the project, relayed the
plan to install a 3-foot high berm (measured from the pad elevations) and the installation
of shrubs on top of the berm which would address this issue; noted that along North
General Kearny Road, the loop road, and the access link road, the 3-foot berm was not
feasible in this area due to inadequate space, relaying that the applicant would provide
cross sections of these areas, noting that there would be a 2-to-1 slope with shrubs at
the top of the slope to screen the parking lot, 6) with respect to the pedestrian
connections, specified the area proximate to the creek, noting that the applicant
proposed to improve the 15-foot access road to a Decomposed Granite (DG) trail and
would maintain this area, relaying that this path would connect to the mall access link
road sidewalk and the sidewalk from Margarita Road to the project; relayed that the
pedestrian connections to Margarita Road have been widened to a ten-foot width, noting
that these connections would be further defined with landscaping and pedestrian
lighting, 7) with respect to the sidewalk on the loop road, noted the revised condition to
require that the sidewalk be installed adjacent to the curb which would address the
screening of the parking lot, 8) with respect to the architecture of the tsar of the
buildings, relayed that the applicant has added enhancements inclusive of the use of
tiles, false windows, and detailing around the arches and the doors, 9) with respect to
the signage visible from Margarita Road, noted that halo lighting with backlit channel
letters would be utilized, relaying that the number of colors permitted have been limited
with the exception of national tenants who would be permitted to utilized additional
colors, and 10) a condition has been added to require the applicant to add landscaping
within the creek inclusive of trees and shrubs, noting that the bottom of the channel
would remain natural due to maintenance issues.
Project Planner Naaseh relayed that staff has received elevations for the proposed
Macaroni Grill Restaurant use which will be located proximate to North General Kearny
and Margarita Roads, recommending that approval of this particular proposal be
continued in order for staff to review the data; and in light of Commissioner Mathewson's
absence, advised that per discussions with Commissioner Mathewson it had been
requested that his concerns and recommendations be relayed to the Commission, listed,
as follows: 1) the recommendation to add false windows at the rear of Building F (It was
cladfied at a later point in the meeting that Building F was a one-story building), 2) the
recommendation to eliminate a portion of parking spaces which has been accomplished
with the applicant's revised site plan, and 3) noted his support of the site design.
For Chairman Guerriero, Project Planner Naaseh presented the exhibits which revealed
the proposed articulation at the rear of the buildings; with respect to the DG trial, relayed
that the Planning Commission could specify that the polymer be a natural color; in
response to Chairman Guerriero's queries regarding the landscape plan for the slope on
the south side of the creek bed adjacent to Margarita Road, noted that this area was
outside of the project perimeters, relaying that the adjacent project would be landscaping
this area.
In response to Commissioner Chiniaeff's queries regarding the proposal to landscape
the sides of the creek bed, Project Planner Naaseh relayed that the hydrology issues
would be investigated prior to planting in this area.
Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that the slope planting of the creek was
required to be re-vegetated to the natural species, recommending that this plan be
reviewed with the Resource Agencies prior to conditioning this applicant; and for
Commissioner Chiniaeff, noted that this applicant would be responsible for the
maintenance of one side of the creek.
In response to Commissioner Chiniaeff, Project Planner Naaseh confirmedthat the
proposal to enclose the pedestrian walkway would limit the access to the buildings
behind this area, advising that there would be negative impacts if the tenants in this area
were automobile-oriented uses (i.e., video rental, cleaners); and confirmed that it was
staff's recommendation that the plan to have angled parking should be revised to be 90-
degree angled parking spaces, noting that there would be no significant negative
impacts regarding the 90-degree angled parking.
For Commissioner Webster, Project Planner Naaseh relayed that staff supported the
applicant's revised parking plan with the exception of the angled parking, which staff
recommended to be 90-degree angled parking spaces. Commissioner Telesio relayed
that since this drive aisle provided for two ways of traffic, that the purpose of the
diagonal parking would be defeated, concurring that the parking should be at a 90-
degree angle.
R; PlanCc~lm/minutesJO13101 4
With respect to the planting on the creek, Commissioner Telesio recommended that this
condition be subject to further analysis of the hydrology study.
For Commissioner Telesio, Project Planner Naaseh relayed that there would be no
compact parking spaces included in this project; for Chairman Guerriero, with respect to
the landscaping in front of the buildings, noted that the applicant has added additional
landscaping, advising that since staff was of the opinion that this plan may not be
adequate there was a condition allowing staff to request additional landscaping; relayed
that there had been no discussions with the applicant regarding widening the sidewalk
and adding a treescape (in front of the buildings), advising that if it was the
Commission's desire, a few parking spaces could be eliminated in this area in order to
add additional landscaped fingers.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that he was concerned with the proposal to have parking
located in front of the buildings (whether angled or 90-degree angled) due to safety
issues.
Project Planner Naaseh specified the modifications to the conditions-(per supplemental
a.qenda material), as follows:
With respect to Condition No. 27q., (regarding berming along Margarita Road),
noted that a 3-foot berm would not be feasible in this area, and therefore there
would be a 2-to-1 slopes with shrubs on top of the slope;
With respect to Condition No. 27 aa., (regarding landscaping of the channel),
relayed that language has been added requiring landscaping the sides of the entire
channel with shrub and trees, in addition to the grass;

regarding the plazas surrounding Building K;
With respect to Condition No. 33, relayed that this condition would address the
channel landscaping and trail maintenance;
With respect to Condition No. 41a., (referencing the sign program) relayed that this
condition stated that national chains could modify the types of signs placed on the
rear of the buildings on Margarita Road;
With respect to Condition No. 43, relayed that this condition was added to require
Rancho Water District to conduct a study for the well site, noting that originally this
project was conditioned to prohibit the issuance of building permits until the study
was completed; and advised that due to the lengthy time schedule of conducting
the study (approximately one year), the Fire Department relayed that there would
be direct contact with the Water Distdct regarding the study in order to not hold up
this project for the completion of the study; and
With respect to Condition No. 49c. (regarding the timing of the construction of the
plaza proximate to Building K) noted that this condition ensured that the plaza and
Building K would be constructed with Building F, G, H, or I dependent upon which
building was constructed first.
In response to Chairman Guerriero's queries regarding the elimination of the cut-out on
the Cosco road, Project Planner Naaseh noted that this proposal was represented in an
exhibit in the staff report along with staffs alternate recommendations, relaying that staff
would ensure that this issue was included in the conditions; advised that the applicant
had relayed that the alternate cut-outs were required by the Water Distdct while
Commissioner Webster had advised that access would be adequate with the alternate
driveway; and clarified that the applicant has revised the site plan to eliminate this cut-
out.
For Commissioner Telesio, Project Planner Naaseh relayed that the project was 50
spaces over-parked, noting that after additional revisions this number would change; and
relayed that the elimination of all of the angled parking spaces would encompass
approximately 50 spaces.
Deputy Director of Public Works Parks noted that Condition No. 23 addressed the
condition to close the driveway on the loop road.
The applicant's representatives presented the followin,q information:
Ms. Vandana Kelkar, representing the applicant, relayed the process of negotiating with
Macaroni Grill as a tenant, noting the parking needs for this use; relayed the revisions of
the building layout, noting the pedestrian links, the expended plaza area, the DG path,
the reduced parking, the improved circulation, and the increased landscaping; relayed
that the applicant was in favor of 90-degree angled parking at the front of the retail
buildings; advised that the driveway width could be increased to 28-feet in response to
Chairman Guerriero's concerns; noted that to attract restaurants to a retail complex,
parking was a vital issue; relayed that the rear of the buildings have been fully
articulated, noting that berms and landscaping will be located along the rear elevation,
and the mall link road; advised that the applicant agreed to close the third mall link
access; specified the access routes; with respect to Commissioner Webster's
recommendation to include passive solar design elements, noted that this issue would
be addressed via building orientation, abundance of landscape, water features, shading
devices, and locations and types of windows used with variant building materials and
installations; and relayed that the width of the sidewalks in front of the buildings would be
between 15-20 feet, noting the landscape planters, and landscaped fingers located
approximately every 10 parking spaces.
Mr. Mike Levin, representing the applicant, via overheads, presented a series of seven
cross sections of the project, noting the berming, the planting proposed adjacent to the
curb line, the grade differentiation, the elimination of parking spaces in order to pull the
parking 32 feet away from the curb, and the screening of the well site; specified that the
material sprayed on the DG path would be clear; concurred with the issues restricting
landscaping in the channel; noted the connection linkages, and additional pedestrian
paths; clarified that the applicant was not in opposition to closing an access point to the
well site, if the Water District was agreeable; and with respect to the concept of closing
the access loop, relayed concern regarding Fire access.
Mr. Reid Cooper, representing the applicant, provided an overview of the revised sign
plan, highlighting the standard to solely allow halo lit letters at the rear of Buildings A-G
which back up to Margarita Road, noting the exception for regional and national chains
due to their established sign programs; in response to Commissioner Mathewson's
R: PlanComnVminute~013101 6
comments regarding pedestrian-oriented signage, noted that language has been added
requiring the tenants to have one of two types of pedestrian-oriented signs; for
Commissioner Telesio, relayed that the pedestrian-oriented signage would not preclude
the tenants from having an illuminated sign, clarifying that with respect to the pedestrian
signage, the intent was for the tenant to have one type of sign, relaying that the tenant
would not be prohibited from having both types of pedestrian signage as long as the
signage was within a maximum footage limit.
The applicant's represented the Planning Commission's concerns and comments, as
follows:
Referencing the cross-section data, Commissioner Webster noted that there was no
bench area at the top of the slope in Sections 1, 4, and 5, querying the manner in which
the parking lot would be screened. In response, Mr. Levin noted that there was two-foot
planting area behind the curb before the slope drops; and relayed that in the parking lot
there were no proposed wheel stops.
In response to Commissioner Webster's queries regarding the pedestrian path from
Building N to the five-foot sidewalk along the north mall access link read, Ms. Kelkar
relayed that an additional pathway could be provided.
For Commissioner Webster, Mr. Levin relayed that it was his understanding that
reclaimed water would not be available in this area for the landscaping. In response,
Commissioner Webster noted that at Margarita Road/North General Kearny Road there
was a reclaimed water access line.
For Commissioner Telesio, Ms. Kelkar relayed that the proposed Macaroni Grill use was
requesting 120 parking spaces.
In response to Commissioner Telesio, Mr. Levin noted that the entire berm would be
landscaped.
In light of the Commission's concern regarding landscaping between the front of the
buildings that back up to Margarita Road, Commissioner Chiniaeff queried whether the
applicant would be willing to install grated tree wells along the edge of the sidewalk, in
front of the cars in order to provide landscape shading. In response, Ms. Kelkar noted
that there would be six-foot planters along the building, advising that their landscape
amhitect had relayed that if the trees were located proximate to the vehicles that the
vehicles would consistently hit the trees, restricting growth. In response, Commissioner
Chiniaeff relayed that the trees could be planted far enough back so as to prevent a
vehicle from being able to hit it, noting that a few parking stalls could be removed in
order to install landscaped fingers with walkways, noting the desire to prevent a visual
appearance of a large mass of asphalt. For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Ms. Kelkar noted
that the landscape plan could be revised.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Ms. Kelkar noted that Buildings B and F were one-story
buildings.
In response to Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Levin relayed that the applicant was not in
agreement with Condition 27aa., regarding landscaping the sides of the channel.
Chairman Guerriem noted his concurrence with Commissioner Chiniaeffs
recommendation to landscape the sidewalk area. Mr. Levin reiterated that the creation of
access from the link road to Buildings M and N would be feasible.
Project Planner Naaseh relayed that the Fire Department was in agreement with staffs
circulation modification (closing off the access at the front of the buildings).
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Fire Marshall Norris provided an overview of the access
that the Fire Department would utilize.
The Commission relayed closin,q comments, as follows:
With respect to Fire access, Commissioner Telesio relayed that it would appear to be a
distinct advantage if there was no access at the rear of the building, acknowledging that
this was a Fire Department determination; and with respect to parking, recommended
that the parking in front of the buildings be eliminated, suggesting that if it was
imperative that some parking remain at this location that there be handicapped parking
provisions, noting that this front parking area would have negative impacts with respect
to pedestrian, traffic, and circulation issues.
Commissioner Webster recommended installation of a walkway to the parking lot from
the mall access link read to Building N; with respect to the south elevation of Building N,
recommended some container landscaped elements similar to the remainder of the
project to soften the exterior of this building; with respect to the top of the sloped
landscaping along the loop read and North General Kearny Road, recommended that
this be a minimum of three feet in width at the top of the slope, recommending
installation of wheel stops along this edge; with respect to landscaping within the creek
area, concurred with the applicant that there should be no landscaping in this area;
referencing the Specific Plan for the Regional Center, noted the requirement to utilize
reclaimed water, if available, advising that reclaimed water was available, relaying that
State Law now essentially requires the use of reclaimed water for landscaping these
types of sites, recommending that a condition be added regarding this issue; with
respect to the parking layout and the pedestrian plaza area, noted that he was not in
complete agreement with closing this access and creating this plaza area, relaying that
there were benefits to having this access read included in the plan, advising that the
issue that was of greater importance was the recommendation to delete the parking
stalls in front of the buildings, concurring with the previous recommendation to widen the
sidewalk and to add landscaping to this front area when the parking stalls are removed;
and with respect to the configuration of Buildings A, B, and C, recommended that staff
work with the applicant to finalize the layout in order to maximize the parking in this area.
Commissioner Chiniaeff concurred with the previous Planning Commission comments,
specifically with respect to removing the requirement to landscape the creek, and to
install a defined access from the mall access read inclusive of paving treatments to
define the walkway; with respect to the plaza area, recommended compromising
regarding this issue and keeping the plaza open to traffic, removing some of the parking
in front of the buildings, designating certain areas (at this location) for handicapped
parking, and adding trees; with respect to the reclaimed water issue, advised that it was
his understanding that there was no reclaimed water use at the mall site, noting that the
sole available line was located on Margarita Road; and noted that the applicant had
made improvements in the revisions presented at this meeting, while relaying that it
would have been his preference for there to be a deeper driveway access off of North
General Kearny Road prior to the island area.
· Chairman Guerriero noted the vision of the Planning Commission to have a pedestrian-
oriented plaza concept throughout the entire project; and relayed that while he was in
favor of opening up the pedestrian plaza area, he was more opposed to the parking in
front of the buildings due to safety issues, recommending installation of wider sidewalks
with an additional offset treescape in this area.
Mr. Levin relayed that the applicant was willing to reduce the parking in front of the
buildings and to add additional landscaped areas, noting that in place of the removed
parking stalls the pedestrian path could be widened, recommending that the parking
stalls be 90-degree angled spaces; and noted that the applicant would be willing to move
the handicapped to this area but would desire to have some standard parking spaces.
MOTION: Commissioner Chiniaeff moved to close the public hearing; to adopt the
Planning EIR Notice of Exemption and determination of consistency; and to adopt PC
Resolution No. 2001-003, subject to the following modifications:
Add-
That the project be subject to the modifications to the conditions as

near the edge of the parking area.
That 30 of the parking spaces be removed from the parking area along the
front of the buildings between Buildings B, C, F, G, H, and I, and that
handicapped parking be provided in this area with some standard parking
spaces, with the widening of the walkways between the buildings and the
parking, where the parking stalls have been removed.
That there be some utilization of reclaimed water on site.
That there be a three-foot wide (in lieu of the proposed two-foot wide)
landscaped area on top of the slope at North General Kearny Road, if
feasible, and
That the approval of the Macaroni Grill use be continued to a later date.
(Ultimately this motion was seconded; see page t0.)
Commissioner Telesio relayed a desire to have solely handicapped parking in the area
proximate to the buildings.
For Project Planner Naaseh, Commissioner Chiniaeff clarified that the motion did

account for eighty-two percent (82%) of all fire fatalities, relaying the rationale for efforts
regarding fire prevention issues in residential areas; with respect to the issue of narrow
roads, provided an overview of the importance of access; with respect to the proposed
Harveston project, specified the negative impacts associated with the installation of
narrow streets and the curb chokers; noted the street width standards Countywide;
relayed that safety issues should have priority over aesthetic matters, while efforts could
be made to address both elements; addressed speed bumps which slow the response
time, tuff blacking, and angled curbs; via overheads, noted the access restrictions with a
twenty-four foot (24') roadway, noting that with this street width there could be no on-
street parking; presented a thirty-six foot (36') roadway inclusive of adequate turning
radius provisions; via overheads, reviewed the Harveston Tract Map, noting the plethora
of red curbing necessitated in this area; presented photographs of existing thirty-six foot
(36') roadways in the City with Fire vehicles parked on the street; presented a video
which revealed the negative impacts associated with inadequate access during the
Oakland residential fire which claimed the lives of 25 individuals and caused vast
destruction of structures; and noted that during this particular fire red tile roofs also
caught fire.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Fire Captain McBride relayed that there had been no
discussions with the Fire Department of Irvine regarding fire issues in the Woodbridge
Development, noting that staff would staff would address this issue with the Fire
Department of Irvine; and noted that there have been discussions with the Los Angeles
Fire Department, relaying that standards would be becoming more stringent in the
neighborhood areas.
In response to Commissioner Webster, Fire Captain McBride noted that thirty-six foot
(36') street widths would not be permitted in commercial areas, relaying that this street
width was allowed in residential areas providing that there were adequate turning radius
provisions; and provided additional information regarding the minimum standards in the
Code for sideyard setbacks.
Chairman Guerriero noted that in the data soliciting implementation of narrow streets,
there was no reference to Fire Department data. In response, Fire Captain McBride
relayed that this was probably due to Fire Department not being in favor of narrow
streets.
At this time the Commission heard Agenda Item No. 3.
3 Harveston Workshop - Traffic/Circulation
Mr. Bill Storm, representing the applicant, relayed that there would be a 20-minute
project presentation; and with respect to the Fire Department presentation data, noted
the desire to work with the Fire Department on this development plan, advising that it
was positive that the Fire Department was endorsing the thirty-six foot (36') street width.
Mr. Matthew Fagan, representing the applicant, presented a PowerPoint presentation,
noting that the General Plan was utilized as a guide to formulate the circulation
component of the Harveston Specific Plan; highlighted the applicant's vision for the
project; and provided a historical overview of the site and the surrounding area, noting
the previous read improvements to this area.
Continuing the PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Jana Morgan, representing the applicant,
provided an overview of the off-site circulation improvements, relaying that there would
be 10 intersections requiring improvements to maintain acceptable Levels of Service,
clarifying that all of these intersections would need to be improved with or without the
Harveston Project; specified the improvements of the intersections (the numbers
associated with the intersections correspond with the supplemental agenda material
designations), as follows: 1) the Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue improvements with
a project share of cost at sixteen percent (16%), 2) the Winchester Road and the
southbound 1-15 ramps improvements with a project share of cost at twenty-three
percent (23%), 4) the Winchester/Ynez Roads improvements with a project share of cost
at sixty-two percent (62%), 18) the Overland Drive/Jefferson Avenue improvements with
a project share of cost at fourteen percent (14%), 19) the Overland Drive/Ynez Road
improvements with a project share of cost at twenty-seven percent (27%), 26) the
Overland Drive/Margarita Road improvements with a project share of cost at one
hundred percent (100%), 10) the Murdeta Hot Spdngs Road/Jefferson Avenue
improvements with a project share of cost at four percent (4%), 12) the Murrieta Hot
Springs Road/Alta Murrieta Drive improvements with a project share of cost at twenty-
one percent (21%), and 13) the Murrieta Hot Springs Road/Margarita Road
improvements with a project share of cost at forty-three percent (43%).
For Commissioner Webster, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that the
assignment of value was conducted during the EIR, noting that the avenues for funding
had not been determined at this point; clarified that the intersections that were identified
denoted areas that would go below LOS D with this project, noting that these
improvements would mitigate the impacts; and for Commissioner Chiniaeff, relayed that
to the best of his knowledge the City of Murrieta had not participated in improvements to
mitigate their traffic impacts to the City of Temecula.
Continuing the PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Morgan provided an overview of the on-site
circulation improvements, highlighting the signals which would be installed, the Margarita
Road improvements, the Ynez Road Realignment Extensions, the Date Street
Extension, the Industrial Collector, the Entry and Residential Collectors, the sidewalks,
and the multi-use trails; relayed the four phases of the project; and provided additional
information regarding the right-of-ways being set aside for a Date Street or Cherry Street
alignment; noted the proposed Class II bicycle trails within and outside the project, and
the transit plan.
At this time the Commission heard public comments.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Jim Miller, representing the City of Murrieta, referenced a copy of the data provided
to the Planning Commission outlining his concerns; noted that the City of Murrieta
supports the Harveston project plan; relayed that there were three issues that the City of
Murrieta recommended be addressed in the Specific Plan for this project, listed as
follows: 1) the Date Street Interchange, 2) the Retail Commercial Zoning, and 3) the
project's fair share for the construction of the regional facilities; advised that the City of
Murrieta was of the opinion that the Date Street alignment could not be constructed at
the alternative Cherry Street location per discussions with the Army Corps of Engineers
and Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, requesting that the
alignment remain at Date Street; requested that the Retail Commercial Zoning be zoned
as Industrial; requested that the development pay their fair share of the costs of the
regional facilities; relayed that as soon as he receives a letter from the Army Corps of
Engineers, stating that the Cherry Street extension will not be permitted to go through
the proposed restoration retention basin, he would forward the letter to the City of
Temecula; with respect to the Retail Commercial Center Zoning for approximately 110
acres, relayed that this zoning would generate between 40,000-50,000 Average Daily
Trips (ADTs), noting that the project would not be able to mitigate these impacts,
relaying that this retail commercial zoning would seriously jeopardize the construction of
the Warm Springs Creek Bridge; noted that approximately six months ago, the City of
Murdeta passed a special traffic/freeway/interchange DIF component, relaying that if this
project was being developed in the City of Murrieta it would pay from $6-8 million in
additional fees; with respect to the tracts off of Margarita Road that are in the City of
Murrieta, noted that a fee of $1200 per home was being assessed in order to be applied
to projects such as the Warm Springs Creek Bridge; and reiterated that the City of
Murdeta supports this residential development, was opposed to the Retail Commercial
Zoning, and was of the opinion that the Date StreetNVestern Bypass should be aligned
with the existing Date Street right-of-way at the 1-15 Freeway.
Commissioner Webster relayed that there have been traffic impacts from the City of
Murrieta to the City of Temecula that have not mitigated; advised that as this project is
reviewed, the past regional projects should be taken into consideration; noted that per
the City of Murrieta's adopted Circulation Plan, the Ynez Road and Diaz Road
connections would not be constructed in the City of Murrieta until the Split Diamond is
completed, advising that this caused a significant negative impact to traffic in this area;
relayed that in conjunction with the request for this development project to have
revisions, the City of Temecula would desire to investigate the construction of the
previously-mentioned connections which would serve to aid the citizens of Murrieta as
they travel back and forth from the City of Temecula to the City of Murrieta.
In response, Mr. Miller relayed the priority circulation projects for the City of Murrieta,
clarifying that the rationale for not constructing the previously mentioned connections at
an earlier date was due to funding issues.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Mr. Miller relayed that the City of Murrieta's Circulation
Element denoted the alignment south of Cherry Street, providing clarification for the
alignment to be constructed at Date Street. Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that this
project would have been funded in 1990 if the City of Murrieta had not stated their desire
to not have traffic coming from the City of Temecula going into the City of Murrieta; and
recommended that Murrieta's General Plan be revised prior to requesting that the
connection not be at Cherry Street. In response, Mr. Miller provided additional
information regarding past discussed plans for circulation in this area.
For Commissioner Webster, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that there
was existing public right-of-way on Cherry Street; confirmed that the ^rmy Corps of
Engineers does have a plan that denotes this area as a detention basin; advised that
originally when the Date Street alignment was proposed, the City of Murrieta opposed
this project, ergo, the Cherry Street relocation; and relayed that at this time there was no
plan to revise this alignment.
Dr. Robert Wheeler, 29090 Camino Avenue, Murrieta, urged the Planning Commission
to consider all projects within the context of the entire area; commented on the Eastern
Bypass proposal; recommended that the City of Murrieta establish connections at
Madison and Adams Avenues down to a Date Street Interchange to create improved
traffic flow; implored the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta to work together to address the
traffic impacts; relayed his opposition to extending Ynez Road to Murdeta Hot Springs
Road due to the location of the riparian quarter at Warm Springs Creek; with respect to
the commercial zoning on the west side of the Harveston Project, noted his opinion that
this area should be zoned for Neighborhood Commercial; relayed that he was impressed
with the design of the Harveston Project, advising that he would recommend higher
densities, noting the shortage of this type of housing; and in response to the Fire
Department presentation, for informational purposes, noted that there was a Fire Safe
Council in Southwest County which was formed approximately two years ago.
Mr. Ed Burke, 30944 Wellington Circle, representing Channel Corporation which was
located adjacent to the Harveston Project, relayed concern regarding the following
issues: traffic and overall circulation, the location of the project adjacent to a
Commercial/Industrial area due to the associated traffic and safety issues, southbound
Ynez Road access from existing businesses, queried the traffic modeling, the manner in
which the planned signals would affect traffic flow, street parking, the realignment of
Ynez Road and the proximity to the Channel Corporation facility, southbound egress
traffic from the Channel Corporation facility, traffic cutting through residential areas;
relayed anticipation of coordinating with the Harveston developer's to address these
issues; and noted a desire for a copy of the presentation presented at this meeting.
In response to comments regarding the Fire Safe Council, Fire Captain McBride
provided additional information, noting that the Fire Safe Council's concepts were being
implemented in residential planning areas.
The Commission relayed the followin,q closinq comments:
Commissioner Webster noted that he had met with the applicant to discuss issues
related to the traffic plan, referencing the slide presentation, relayed the following
remarks:
· With respect to Intersection No. la (VVinchester Road/Jefferson Avenue), queried
whether included in the CIP was an extension of this lane. In response, Deputy
Director of Public Works Parks confirmed that this was part of the proposal, noting
that the improvement plans had not yet been designed at this time, relaying that the
project would be completed at one designated time period,
· With respect to Intersection No. lc (Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue), noted that
the photograph did not denote a recently installed driveway on the west side of
Jefferson Avenue, recommending that the two driveways represented on the right
side of the photograph (on both sides of Jefferson Avenue) have left turn
movements prohibited, as well as prohibiting left-turn movements into the first
driveway (traveling northbound on Jefferson Avenue).
With respect to Intersection No. 2a (Winchester Road/Southbound 1-15 Ramps),
noted the knob element (where the southbound offramp exits the freeway),
recommending that the knob be removed, and that on the alternate side of the
intersection (on westbound Winchester Road), that there be an additional through
lane.
With respect to Intersection No. 2b (Winchester Road/Southbound 1-15 Ramps)
queried whether these improvements were needed, noting the City's proposed
project to widen the Santa Gertrudis Bridge which could be delayed if the Cherry
Street Interchange was built. In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks
confirmed that the denoted improvements would need to be coordinated with the
Split Diamond Interchange Project, relaying that the Split Diamond Interchange
would most likely not be constructed for 10-15 years, noting that the construction
may be phased; provided additional information regarding additional investigation
regarding the Santa Gertrudis Bridge Widening Project; relayed efforts with
Caltrans to investigate installing a dedicated offramp in this area in lieu of widening
the bridge. Commissioner Webster recommended that the improvements to
Intersection No. 2b be inclusive of additional signage and striping placed farther
back on the freeway ramp.
With respect to improvements on Winchester Road (denoted on the slide
presentation at Intersection Nos. 4a, 4c, 5a, and 5b), noted the area of the
encroachment into the 25-foot transportation easement, referencing the General
Plan and the Regional Mall Specific Plan, relayed that the transportation easement
was for future transit or for Travel Demand Management O-DM) plans; and queried
how the addition of lanes in this area qualified in meeting this criteria.
In response to Commissioner Webster's comments, Mr. Fagan referenced the
General Plan which stated the designation of Winchester Road (east of Jefferson
Avenue) as an access restricted urban arterial with special added easements
reserved for future transit or Transport Demand Management use, noting the
review of the City's Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance;
relayed that Travel Demand Management was the same as Transportation
Demand Management (TDM), as defined in the General Plan; advised that within
the Facilities section of the Ordinance, local Transportation System Management
(TSM) and road improvements were addressed, noting that the TSM which was
recommended under the TDM addressed specific recommendations (i.e., additional
turn lanes, restricting turning movement during peak traffic periods at congested
intersections, widening of intersections, approaches to accommodate additional
through movement lanes, or to improve visibility); reiterated that the General Plan
references TDM, noting that the TDM of the City references TSM which
encourages additional lanes and improvements at approaches; noted that per
discussions with staff, that a precedent of utilizing a portion of the Transportation
Corridor Easement as roadway has been established on the south side for the
deceleration lanes of the Mall.
With respect to Intersection No. 4b (Winchester/Ynez Roads), regarding the
onramp for northbound 1-15, queried whether this area could be re-striped at this
time to add two turn lanes onto the freeway. In response, Deputy Director of Public
Works Parks noted that it was his understanding that the City was processing a
plan with Caltrans to install these particular lanes. Commissioner Webster noted
that the most significant negative impact in this area (between Ynez Road and the
freeway) was on westbound Winchester Road where vehicles were turning right
into the commercial center, relaying that since there was an existing designated
Park and Ride facility on this site, and since this commercial site was causing a
significant traffic impact, it was his recommendation that the City consider
purchasing the center in order to construct one large Park and Ride/Transit facility
at this location which would relieve the traffic impacts, and address the Mall's
Mitigation Measures. In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed
that staff would take this matter under consideration.
With respect to the Overland Drive Improvements (denoted in the slide presentation
as Nos. 18, 19, and 26), noted that in the improvement project represented in No.
19 was the installation of a right-turn lane from Overland Drive to Ynez Road,
queried why the Cosco use was not required to provide this turn lane. In response,
Deputy Director of Public Works Parks noted that there was no nexus with the
Cosco Project that would justify the requirement. Commissioner Webster relayed
that it was his opinion that the Harveston Project should not be responsible for
funding the improvements to Intersection Nos. 18, 19, and 26.
With respect to Intersection No. 26 (Overland Drive/Margarita Road), relayed that
Margarita Road has been improved to its fullest section at this point, noting that in
the General Plan and the General Plan EIR, that Margarita Road (between
Overland Drive and Solana Way) was projected to be at Level of Service (LOS) F
at buildout; recommended at this intersection in lieu of the proposal, that the project
be inclusive of installing two dedicated left-turn lanes, and two dedicated through
lanes; and queried whether the City was investigating obtaining additional right-of-
way for additional lanes at a future point in time.
In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that the developer's
traffic engineer has identified areas that need to be addressed in the City whether
or not this project is developed, advising that the City's traffic engineer has
reviewed the data, and agreed that the proposed projects could relieve the impacts
in the City over the next five years, noting that the nexus with this project was
based on the developer not being required to extend Ynez Road to Murrieta Hot
Springs Road, or to improve the Interchange.
Commissioner Webster queded why there would be ultimate improvements in
place that are not satisfying traffic conditions projected at buildout, and
subsequently why this developer was being required to complete this improvement
project, noting that he did not see the connection between the improvements on
Overland Drive and this project.
In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that this project's
analysis identified these areas as impacted areas in the EIR, advising that
professionally trained staff have reviewed and concurred with the data.
Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that this issue would be better addressed with
the EIR consultant, or the traffic engineer who prepared the traffic study.
Ms. Morgan relayed that this particular intersection (No. 26) was one of four
intersections, which would go below LOS D prior to the anticipated project traffic
being added.
Mr. Bob Davis, traffic consultant for the applicant, provided additional information
regarding the modeling analysis, noting that the distribution at this intersection
changed, relaying that the projected project traffic would increase traffic at this
intersection; advised that the formula utilized for determining a project's fair share
was to analyze the total growth in traffic above existing volumes at all approaches
and to determine what proportion of the increase was generated from the project,
noting that in this case it represented nearly all the increase, acknowledging that
the intersection fails without the project's traffic; relayed that the proposed
improvements would not be the final long-range solution, providing additional
information regarding potential future improvements; for Commissioner Chiniaeff,
noted that the read could solely be widened to the west in this location; with
respect to alternate intersections on Overland Drive, relayed that the background
traffic increases to a point whereas all the reserve capacity at the intersections
would be utilized by the year 2005, noting that the addition of the project's traffic
necessitated additional improvements; for Commissioner Webster, confirmed that if
North General Kearny Road was extended to Nicolas Road that the
Margarita/Winchester Roads intersection would benefit most dramatically, and that
it would improve the traffic in this area on Winchester and Margarita Roads; and for
Commissioner Chiniaeff, relayed that background traffic was a significant factor,
noting that in the future the increases in traffic would almost completely be
generated from sources outside the City.
Chairman Guerriero noted his past recommendation to create a toll road on
Winchester Road at Murrieta Hot Spdngs Road. In response, Mr. Davis advised
that if Highway 79 could be re-designated that this recommendation could be
feasible.
With respect to the Murrieta Hot Springs Road Improvement (denoted in the slide
presentation as Nos. 10, 12, and 13) noted that it was his recommendation that
there be no contribution for these improvements until the Diaz Road and Ynez
Road connections are constructed.
W~h respect to the trail plan, recommended that there be a crossing over the Santa
Gertrudis Creek from Margarita Road to the high school site.
Chairman Guerriero thanked the applicant for the presentation.
COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Chiniaeff recommended that if workshop data was lengthy that in
the future the information be provided in written form rather than utilizing meeting
time to review detailed material.
For Commissioner Webster, Mr. Storm relayed that the Harveston Project would
most likely be presented to the Planning Commission in March.
R: PlanCom m/minut es/O 13101 17
For Chairman Guerdero, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that Senior
Planner Hazen had a meeting with the Cosco representatives last week, noting
that a timeline for the issues needing to be addressed was being developed and
that staff would be receiving the information in written form which would be
brought back to the Planning Commission.
Chairman Guerriero noted the significant negative parking impacts at the mall
site where the restaurants are located, querying whether a plan could be
developed to revise the loop read to alleviate this impact. In response, Director of
Planning Ubnoske noted that staff would address this matter while addressing
other issues with Forest City.
For Chairman Guerdero, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that shirts would
be provided to the Planning Commissioners.

PA00-0260 Outback Steakhouse
The purpose of this memorandum is to discuss an issue that has been raised by the applicant
regarding the operation of a ddve-up take-away service at the Outback Steakhouse appreved
for development in the Winchester Meadows Shopping Center. This project was breught before
the Planning Commission on November 15, 2000 for review and appreval. At that time the
applicant, Bill Fancher, was seeking approval for a 6,150 square foot steakhouse restaurant
with a full service bar and incidental take-away service. During the development review precess
staff encouraged the applicant to prepare a very detailed statement of operations that described
the aspects of the business they hoped to operate.
Since project approval, the applicant has presented an application for signage for the project.
Among the requested signs was a blade sign the reads take-away. Staff advised the applicant
that blade signs are not permitted based on the approved sign program for the center. It was at
that time that the applicant advised staff of their intent to operate a drive-up take-away service.
The operation of the service is as follows:
A patron calls in a take-away order drives to the site, parks in a spot visible to a
motion sensitive camera and waits for an Outback employee to bring the take-
away order from the kitchen to the patron's vehicle.
Staff has informed the applicant that this activity is not the typical incidental take-away
procedure and it should have been included in the statement of operations as well as presented
to the Planning Commission for their consideration.
Staff has since reviewed the staff report and the supporting documentation to see if this
operation was overlooked. Staff has reviewed the statement of operations, approved floor
plans, the approved site plan, the staff report, as well as, the minutes from the meeting. There
is no indication that the applicant disclosed this preposed operation previously. It is for this
reason, that staff is bringing this matter before you today.

Via overheads, Senior Planner Hogan provided an overview of the project plan (via
agenda material), noting the location, access points, site plan, landscaping, and parking
provisions (which exceed the Code requirements); requested input from the Commission
regarding the architecture and colors proposed, specifically whether this use's proposed
architecture and colors should be similar to the uses in the Center or whether it would be
more appropriate to create a unique appearance; presented the elevation design plan,
noting the enhanced articulation, relaying that the roof design and the standing metal
seam were the most noticeable variations with respect to consistency with the Center's
existing design elements; provided a color material board for this project for the
Commission's review, additionally presenting the color samples approved for the Center;
and noted the modified PC Resolution (per supplemental agenda material).
For Commissioner Webster, Mr. Bill Fancher, the applicant, provided additional
information regarding the proposed architecture, noting that at an Irvine site where the
standard metal-seamed roof and the neon was not installed, that this location had a
considerable lower revenue than alternate sites; advised that the proposed design for
this particular project represented a compromise between the desires of the Corporate
office and staff; and relayed the rationale for placing the front door of the restaurant on
Winchester Road, noting that the rear of the store served operations that were more
appropriate for the location at the back of the building.
in response to Commissioner Chiniaeff's comments, Mr. Fancher relayed that this
particular project was a franchised operation, noting that the entire state of California
encompassed the franchising (which entailed approximately 51 stores); and provided
R:\D P\2000\00-0260 Outback Steakhouse\PC Minutes.doc
additional information regarding the slight variations of design at the various locations,
noting that at this particular site pop-outs were added, and in the area where there was
an expanse of wall that trelliswork and vines were added.
Commissioner Chiniaeff noted that while he did not oppose a standing seamed roof that
this element did not appear to fit in with the design standards of this Center. In response,
Mr. Fancher relayed that there were alternate uses in the Center with standing metal-
seamed roofs and alternate sites with the same color palette, advising that the standing
metal-seamed roof was a logotype element for the Outback Steakhouse Restaurant.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that he appreciated the uniqueness in the design elements
at the Center, which created a diverse, more interesting appearance.
For Chairman Guerriero, Mr. Fancher relayed that the applicant was flexible with respect
to landscaping, noting that the trellis vine was proposed to be bougan villa.
Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that this particular planting does not grow well in this
area.
Chairman Guerriero relayed that his concerns would be alleviated if the applicant would
agree to work with staff with respect to the landscaping at the rear of the building. In
response, the applicant relayed agreement.
With respect to Condition No. 42 (regarding the developer recording a lot line
adjustment), Mr. Fancher relayed that there was no lot line adjustment proposed at this
time, acknowledging that the Center owner planned a realignment at a future date,
querying whether this condition would encumber the applicant with respect to obtaining a
building permit or occupancy. In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks
relayed that a building permit would not be approved with a lot line going through the
building, noting that he was unsure where the existing lot lines were located.
Ms. Nina Raey, representing the applicant, specified the existing parcel lines, noting that
per discussions with engineering staff, it was agreed that as long as the parcel line did
not run across the proposed building, the project would be permitted to move forward, as
proposed; and relayed that the property owner did not have data at this time regarding
the future alternate uses. In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks advised
that the building permit would not be held up in this situation.
For Commissioner Chiniaeff, Ms. Raey confirmed that there were reciprocal parking
easements between the parcets on the property.
Director of Planning Ubnoske advised that as a safeguard it would be her
recommendation to leave Condition No. 42 in the Conditions of Approval and to add
language stating if deemed necessary by the Planning Department.
The Commission relayed closing remarks, as follows:
Commissioner Telesio echoed Chairman Guerriero's comments regarding the positive
appearance with the diversity of design elements at the Center; and relayed that this
project would be a great addition to the City of Temecula.
R:\D P~000\00-0260 Outback Steakhouse\PC Minutes.doc
Commissioner Webster noted that he was not opposed to the design elements, which
created a unique appearance.
Commissioner Chiniaeff relayed that it was his recommendation that the applicant
work with staff regarding the landscaping palette, recommending deleting the proposed
oak trees (due to the slow growth of this particular species) with an alternate tree, or in
response to Senior Planner Hogan, relayed that the applicant could plant a larger size
oak tree if this particular species was desired to be maintained in the landscape plan;
and recommended replacing the vines with an alternate vine planting (i.e., deleting the
bougan villa).
Chairman Guerriero echoed Commissioner Chiniaeffls comments, recommending,
additionally, that the applicant work with staff to enhance the rear landscaping.
In response to Director of Planning Ubnoske's queries, the Commission voiced no
opposition to the proposed neon at this site.
MOTION: Commissioner Chiniaeff moved to close the public hearing; and to approve
staff's recommendation, with the following modifications:
Add-
With respect to Condition No. 42 (regarding the developer recording a lot line
adjustment) that the phrase if deemed necessary by the Planning Department be
added.
That the applicant work with staff regarding the landscaping palette.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster and voice vote reflected approval
with the exception of Commissioner Mathewson who was absent.
It was noted that at 7:14 P.M. the meeting recessed, reconvening at 7:20 P.M.

BACKGROUND:
This project was continued from the March 28, 2001, Planning Commission Meeting for additional
environmental assessment. Staff was requested to further analyze the Campos Verdes Specific
Plan and EIR for project consistency.
R:~D P~2000\00-0417 Margarita M~lical~Staff report PC 4-4-01 .do~

ANALYSIS:
To assure that this project was in compliance with the Campos Verdes Specific Plan's
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Conditions of Approval, staff completed a thorough review
of both documents. When assessed against these documents, mitigation measures have either
been met or will be met during the development of this project. Attached are copies of the Mitigation
Monitoring Program and the conditions of approval for the Campos Verdes Specific Plan as
requested.
A review of the EIR and its Mitigation Monitoring Program found that most mitigation measures had
been completed during previous development of Campos Verdes, or would net be relevant to this
project. Other mitigation measures have been complied with through the normal application review
process or have been added as conditions of approval relevant to each City department and/or the
responding agencies. However, there is one mitigation measure (#5.2) that requires an acoustical
study be conducted prior to approval of a development plan, which has not been completed. The
intended outcome of that study is to determine if the ambient noise level emanating from the street
traffic exceeds the threshold set forth in the EIR, and if so what type of building methods must be
employed to reduce the interior noise level to an acceptable level. Because the results of the
acoustical study only affect the construction method, staff feels that this mitigation measure can be
completed prior to the issuance of a building permit and still accomplish the EIR's objective.
The conditions of approval for the Campos Verdes Specific Plan and Amendment No. I were
previously reviewed by staff during the initial review of this development proposal. At that time,
corrections were made to the site's design and the project was then found to be in compliance. With
the project's conditions of approval, there will be no outstanding specific plan conditions that must
be independently applied to this proposal.
After a review of both documents, staff has determined that the project, as conditioned, is consistent
with the Campos Verdes Specific Plan EIR and its Conditions of Approval. To assure that the intent
of Mitigation Measure #5.2 is met, a condition of approval has been added to requires that an
acoustical study be completed and implemented prior to the issuance of a building permit. An
additional condition has been added to assure continued compliance with the Campoe Verdes
Specific Plan, EIR and the Conditions of Approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project is within the Campos Verdes Specific Plan No. 1 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. 00-0.
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.
The affected area of the site development meets the criteria noted by developing consistent with the
Campos Verdes Specific Plan No. I land uses which anticipated chumh, office, and retail uses.
Therefore, the proposed project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Section 15162 of the
CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND
The applicant submitted a formal application to the Planning Department on October 27, 2000.
Supplemental material was required and a Development Review Committee meeting was held on
December 7, 2000, with follow up reviews completed in February and March. The project was
deemed complete on March 12, 2001. The owner of the property has also requested that the site be
divided into two lots and that application is scheduled for the Director's Hearing on April 5, 2001.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a Development Plan to design, construct, and operate two medical office
buildings, with three suites in each, totaling 13,257square feet of floor space (Bldg. "A" with 5,987
square feet and Bldg. "B" with 7,270 square feet) on a 1.5 acre lot. The plan also shows a
conceptual layout for the remainder of the lot, but it is not a part of this application.
ANALYSIS
Site Desiqn and Circulation
The site at the southwest corner of Margarita and North General Kearny Roads will have its primary
access from North General Kearny Road. A second driveway will access the site from Margarita
R:~D P~000~00-0417 Margarita Medical\Staff report PC.doc
2
Road across the southerly portion of the pamel, which is intended to ultimately be developed with
medical offices on a separate lot. Both points of access entering the site connect to internal drive
aisles that will allow cimulation to pass in front of the buildings and provide access to four rows of
parking.
A conceptual site design is provided on the pamel to the south so that it can be demonstrated that
the future development of this site can be integrated in a functional manner. Future development of
this southern parcel will require a separate review and approval.
The two buildings are detached and laid out in an "L" configuration with building "A," the smaller of
the two, backing to Margarita Road and Building "B" backing up to North General Kearny Road. A
courtyard is provided between the two buildings with trellises and seating. In front of building "A" is a
loading zone for deliveries and visitor drop-off. A common walkway links all the suites in each
building to the sidewalk on North General Kearny Road.
Architecture & Colors
The exterior finishes of the proposed office buildings will incorporate stone, cast concrete, and
stucco. On the base of the building (lower 2 feet) will be limestone tile in a light tan capped with pre-
cast concrete moulding. Windows around the building will have smoke gray tinted glass with dark
bronze anodized aluminum frames. Between the windows will be sectioned stucco panels finished
in Desert Fawn (beige), which will appear as columns supporting the upper fascia of the building.
The upper portions of the building above the windows will be hand troweled smooth stucco with
some irregularities, finished again in Desert Fawn. Accenting on this upper wall facade will be a
narrow stucco finished relief moulding that will connect keystone elements over each window.
Capping the building is a pitched roof, using "S" tile described as Buff Blend color. Small gable
accents over the off-set portions of both buildings provide relief to roof.
Landscapinq
As required by the Campos Verdes Specific Plan, at least 15% of the site must be landscaped and
this project is providing 30.3%, with the bulk of the landscaping being provided along the two street
frontages. The Campos Verdes Specific Plan specifies a 32 foot landscape zone (include the 12
foot parkway) along both roadways with a gradual 4:1 slope lined with random placement of trees
with turf. Along North General Kearny is a meandering sidewalk with the same streetscape theme.
The primary trees along Margarita Road will be London Plane (24" box) and California Pepper (15
gal.) trees. Along North General Kearny will be the same tree plantings with Holly Oaks (24" box)
framing the entry drive aisle. Around the building will be Fern Pines (24" box), Chinese Flame Tree
(15 gal.), and Queen Palms (6' clear trunk). The parking area and the eastern perimeter will include
the Chinese Flame Tree (24" box) and Fern Pines (24" box). Shrubs will provide accent color and
screening around the base of the building and will include Fortnight Iris, Escallonia, Daylily,
Variegated Tobira, Purple Flax, and Indian Hawthorn.
When Tentative Parcel Map 30012 was recently approved creating the parcel being developed for
this project and the future site to the south, it was conditioned to have all street frontage landscaping
installed upon the completion of the rough grading and/or in conjunction with the future development
of either site. The intent of this condition was to have a completed streetscape along a prominent
arterial, as opposed to an unfinished area that would not be installed until such time that a
development was approved. With the development of this site, the applicant is aware of the need
to complete the streetscape landscaping per the map approval.
R:'~D P~000',00-0417 Margarita Medical~Staff report PC.doc

Parkinq Analysis
Based on the Campos Verdes Specific Plan's parking standard of one space per 250 square feet of
floor area, a minimum of 54 parking spaces must be provided. As designed, the applicant is
proposing 71 vehicle parking spaces to meet what they believe will be their realistic parking needs.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project is within the Campos Verdes Specific Plan No. I 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. 00-0125.
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.
The affected area of the site development meets the criteria noted by developing consistent with the
Campos Verdes Specific Plan No. 1 land uses which anticipated church, office, and retail uses.
Therefore, the proposed project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Section 15162 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Professional Office (PO). Existing zoning for
the site is SP-6 (Specific Plan-6 Campos Verdes). A variety of office and conditional uses are
permitted within this zone, with the approval of a Development Plan or Conditional Use Permit
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, the Campos Verdes Specific Plan, the
Development Code, and the Design Guidelines.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project has been determined by staff to be consistent with applicable City policies; standards
and guidelines. We believe, given the additional conditions placed on the project, it is compatible
and compliant the types of uses and quality of surrounding development, and will represent an
aesthetic addition to the City's Professional Office areas.
FINDINGS-DEVELOPMENTPLAN
The proposal, two office buildings, is consistent with the land use policies of the Professional
Office (PO) land use designation standards of the City of Temecula General Plan, as well
as the development standards for Professional Office contained in the Campos Verdes
Specific Plan and the City's Development Code. The site is properly planned and zoned, and
as conditioned, is physically suitable for the type and density of office development
proposed. The project, as conditioned, is also consistent with other applicable requirements
of State law and local ordinances, 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 provisions, and fire and building codes.
R:~D P~2000',00-O417 Margarita Medical\Staff report PC.doc

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.
