INTRODUCTION The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the City of Temecula Draft Development Code.' During the workshop staff will discuss the following: * Background on the Development Code * Industrial and Commercial Zoning Districts * Consistency Zoning and the Official Zoning Map * Proposed Public Hearing Schedule BACKGROUND On July 9, 1992 the City Council approved a contract with the Planning Center to assist the City in preparing its first General Plan and Development Code. The Development Code represents the most significant implementation tool for the City's General Plan. It is intended to implement the General Plan's goals and policies, and to manage future growth and change - in accordance with that Plan. The Code was developed pursuant to the authority granted to the City of Temecula by the Constitution of the State of California and in compliance with the requirements of Section 65800 et. seq. of the Government Code, Planning, Zoning and Development Laws. The power to zone or regulate is given to the City to promote and protect the communities health, safety and general welfare. It is the aim of the Code to provide a serviceable, attractive and economically viable city. State law requires that a City Zoning Ordinance be consistent with a City's adopted General Plan. The City desired a development code that established straight forward processes and standards put forth in a manner understandable by both professionals and the public. To accomplish this, the consultant was directed to seek out successful zoning ordinances from other communities and draft a hybrid suitable for the City of Temecula. R:~J)EVCODE\JIITMRI~SH.CCl 1/2~,/95 ktb 1 To assist the staff and the Planning Center prepare the Development Code, the City Council appointed a Development Code Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee consisted of seven appointees by the Council, past Planning Commissioner Dennis Chiniaeff and Councilmember Munoz. The Council Appointees werq Larry Markham, Vince DiDonato, Don Rohrbacher, David Christian, Doug Scott, Csaba Ko,:and Kevin McKenzie. The Advisory Committee met and reviewed a screen-draft code between July 1993 and August 1994. The consensus of the Advisory Committee is that the draft code is a solid, well organized document. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS The code will assist the policy makers, development community, staff and the general public in reviewing, processing and developing projects within the City. The Code is a significant departure from the County's Zoning Ordinance (Ord. 348) in both organization and clarity. However, the transition from County zoning to City zoning is still a very difficult and sensitive process. As staff has already seen, affected property owners can become distressed over the changes in land use designations and the accompanying zoning classification. In Temecula, the elimination of the County's Manufacturing Service Commercial District (MSC) is probably the most controversial aspect of the Development Code process. A joint Commission/Council meeting was held on February 28, 1994, to discuss this issue. Staff indicated its intent to produce a Code that provides a certain degree of latitude and flexibility, while maintaining the economic viability of our commercial and industrial areas. The.. Commission and Council confirmed the direction to implement the Business Park Land Use District through two industrial zoning districts, Business Park and Light Industrial. The Council direction was to establish a stronger distinction between the various zoning districts to re-enforce and maintain the economic viability of our industrial districts, while protecting the public's health, safety and welfare. It was, and still is, Staff's opinion, that the County's MSC District's broad spectrum of uses created the potential for incompatible uses within the same building or on adjacent properties. Industrial Zoning Area Workshops 'At the February, 1994joint meeting, staff committed to hold a series of Industrial Zoning Area Workshops to discuss the proposed amendments with the affected property owners and receive feedback on the standards and regulations of the various commercial and industrial zoning districts. The workshops discussed the distinction between the Service Commercial, Business Park and Light Industrial zoning districts and focused on the manner in which the General Plan's Business Park Land Use Designation would be divided into the Business Park and Light Industrial Zoning Districts. Notification of the workshops was sent to property association representatives, interested property owners, the Economic Development Corporation, and the Chamber of Commerce. The City's industrial area was divided into four sub-areas and a workshop was held for each sub-area. The workshops took place over a two-day period in late May, 1994 at the Community Recreation Center. Attendance at the workshops ranged from 4 to 23 people. Staff presented that the intent of the Business Park District is to develop well designed business and employment centers, while the intent of the Ught Industrial District is to developed well planned industrial centers. In addition to these districts, the Development R:%DEVC(X)E\JNTlitKSH.CC11/?.A/95 ktb 2 Code also provides for a Service Commercial District that is intended to provide for intensive commercial and selected small-scale manufacturing businesses. In essence, the City proposed separating out the incompatible portions of the MSC district. As anticipated, there was broad based reaction from property owners and leasing agents on this issue. The feedback ranged from leaving the MSC district in place, to combining the proposed Business Park and Light Industrial districts. A common concern raised was that the City's Business Park district was too narrowly focused and did not allow a sufficient range of manufacturing uses. In response to this, staff met with representatives from the real estate leasing community to re-evaluate the Schedule of Permitted Uses in the Commercial/Office/Industrial Districts, An outcome of this meeting and feedback from the workshops was to make revisions to the Schedule of Uses. The most notable change was to allow medium manufacturing uses under 20,000 square foot floor area, without outside storage, to locate within the BP district, This was an effort to promote and encourage incubator businesses in Temecula. It was agreed that medium manufacturing uses in excess of 20,000 sq. ft. of floor area, are inconsistent with the intent of the BP district. Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District Staff has also agreed to meet with representatives from the Chaparral/Paloma del Sol area to discuss the schedule of uses for the Neighborhood Commercial District. This issue arose form.. the time extension approval for a commercial project at the southwest corner of Margarita and Pauba Roads. The meeting was scheduled for January 24, 1995. Staff will report the outcome of this meeting at the workshop. CONSISTENCY ZONING AND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP As part of the workprogram to adopt the Development Code, the City will be conducting a citywide consistency zoning effort. The purpose of this program is to amend the zoning from the interim County to City Districts. This effort will be fairly straightforward because almost every General Plan Land Use Designation will be implemented by a single zoning district. The three exceptions are the Low Residential, Business Park and Open Space designations. As · scussed previously, there may be some limited controversy over the placement of the Business Park and Light Industrial districts. A draft Zoning Map will be displayed at the joint workshop. Similar to the process used during the General Plan Process, property owners dissatisfied with. the district applied to their property have been encouraged to submit a written request to staff. These requests, along with a staff recommendation, will be forwarded to the Commission and Council during the Public Hearing process. To date, staff has received letters representing only 12 properties. In addition to the consistency zoning, staff will also be processing a City-sponsored General Plan Amendment (GPA). The proposed amendment is to modify land use designations found to be inappropriate subsequent to the adoption of the Plan in November, 1993. The majority of these proposed changes will result in land uses more relevant with the existing structure(s). R:%DEVCODE\JNTIatKSH.CCl 112&195 ktb 3 PROPOSED PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULE Staff is proposing holding public hearings before the Planning Commission typically at its 2nd meeting of every month. Because February 20, 1995 is a holiday, the first scheduled hearing before the Commission would FebmaW 27, 1995. Thb second meeting would be March 20 and so forth. Staff anticipates at least three to four meeting before the Planning Commission. All property owners within the City will be notified of the public hearing through a city-wide mail out. The notices will go out prior to the Commission's first meeting. Staff has also maintained a mailing list of interested perties who will also be noticed. In addition, the City will take out display ads in two of the local papers, announcing the public hearing schedule before the Planning Commission and again before the City Council hearings. It is anticipated the draft Development Code and Zoning Map will be before the Council this summer. R:%DEV(XX)E\JNTMRICSH.CCl 1/2~/95 ktb 4
