Pastor Ron Bolt, representing the People's Church of the Valley, 27570 Commeme Center
Drive, Suite 125, Temecula, CA, expressed his concern for parking. If both churches increase
their congregations, there may not be enough parking spaces to accommodate each church.
Pastor Cooper said that there are 123 surplus spaces in the parking lot that can be shared
between the two churches. Associate Planner Matthew Harris confirmed the extra parking
spaces. Senior Planner Don Hazen closed the public hearing at 1:43 PM, and approved PA02-
0109 subject to the conditions of approval.
Item No. 2: Planninq Application No. PA02-0155 - A Minor Conditional Use Permit
Application to make street improvements and the relocation of the school's
access on Pauba Road and onsite improvements for parkinq, circulation, and
play/ball fields.
Associate Planner, Thomas Thornsley presented the staff report. Senior Planner Don Hazen
opened the public hearing at 1:57 PM. Ms. Deanna Eliano, representing Linfield Christian
School, 22359 Whirlaway Court, Canyon Lake, CA, expressed her concerns with a few of the
conditions. Ms. Eliano requested that Condition number 18 be changed to read, "within 30 days
of the issuance of each grading permit", and Associate Planner Thomas Thornsley agreed to
this change. The applicant questioned why, in the Public Works section, there is a subtitle of
Prior to Issuance of Building Permits, yet there will be no building permit pulled. Assistant
Engineer Mayra De La Torre agreed to delete the subtitle Prior to Issuance of Building Permits.
The biggest concern is with condition number 38¢, because the traffic studies showed that a
signal is not necessary until the high school is built, and therefore request the wording to be
altered. Assistant Engineer Mayra De La Torre agreed to change the wording to read, "Prior to
occupying additional classroom floor space and a significant increase of student enrollment".
Condition number 43 should be removed since there will be no building pad created, and
Assistant Engineer Mayra De La Torte concurred. Linfield Christian School is a nonprofit
organization, and is therefore exempt from condition number 44. Condition 51 will read,
"Disabled access from the public way to the main entrance of the building", and condition 53 will
be deleted. Senior Planner Don Hazen decided to add "the issuance of each grading permit" to
condition 18, delete 22, delete Prior to Issuance of Building Permits between conditions 38 and
