BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On March 12, 2018, Christopher Campbell submitted Planning Application PA18-0381, a
Modification application to convert an existing retail center (Sage Brush Center) into a 29-room
th
hotel (Galway House) at 41920 6 Street.
Plan 8839) jurisdiction/regulations
developed with regulations that included parking in the front of the building and buildings that are
set burbandifferent from the requirements of the
current Old Town Specific Plan, which requires a pedestrian oriented and walkable environment.
During the mid-
second-story. While a majority of work was completed, the portion of the retrofit that would allow
the space to be occupied was never completed. The proposed project will complete the second-
story retrofit under current California Building Code standards.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, however,
an issue was raised at the September 10, 2018, Old Town Local Review Board (OTLRB) meeting.
A concern was raised by the OTLRB regarding the architectural consistency around the proposed
privacy screens. To address the OTLRB to provide Option
A which includes the staff supported privacy screen and Option B that does not include the
privacy screens. Further discussion of the privacy screens is provided below.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The proposed Galway House will consist of 29 hotel rooms. The footprint of the building
(approximately 7,052 square feet) will not change under the proposed project. The first floor will
include 13 rooms, a small lobby, and an enclosed trash enclosure area that is accessible from
the alley. As proposed, the unoccupied second floor would be retrofitted to include an additional
7,052 square feet of space and 16 rooms. Other site changes include the addition of a patio area
near the lobby and the demolition of the existing trash enclosure adjacent to the intersection of
th
6Street and Mercedes Street.
Twenty-nine (29) parking spaces are required per the Old Town Specific Plan (one parking space
per room). The applicant proposes 28 standard parking spaces and two motorcycle spaces (two
motorcycle spaces are equivalent to one parking space in the Temecula Municipal Code) which
meets the minimum parking requirements.
2
Architecture
The applicant proposes to update the architectural style of the building to a Monterey Style. The
proposed hotel will include smooth stucco with hump & bump, wood balcony railings, rubble stone
accents, multi-lite windows, and a mix of symmetrical and regular window placements. All of
these architectural features are recognized features of a Monterey Style building in the Old Town
Specific Plan and A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester & McAlester, 1984). Monterey
Style buildings historically have low-pitched roofs that are made of shingles or clay tile (McAlester
& McAlester, 1984). The applicant proposes to uses a shingle roof in compliance with the Old
Town Specific Plan.
At the September 10, 2018, OTLRB meeting, the OTLRB raised concerns about the architectural
consistency of the proposed privacy screens that were incorporated into the design of the hotel.
The applicant is proposing the privacy screen to enhance the aesthetics and functionality (privacy
st
for the 1 floor rooms) of the site. These privacy screens are composed of stucco that matches
the main building. If the privacy screens were removed (Option B), the hotel rooms on the first
floor would be directly exposed to the parking lot and people passing the hotel could see into
rooms when the rooms were open. Second floor rooms are accessed from an internal hallway,
making privacy screens unnecessary on the second level. The applicant has provided staff and
the Planning Commission with elevations that include and exclude the privacy screens. After
reviewing the project without privacy screens, staff continues to recommend the screens as they
have a functional purpose (privacy) and an aesthetic enhancement (hotel doors are hidden from
view). However, because of the concern raised by the OTLRB staff is presenting both options to
the Planning Commission for an ultimate determination and guidance.
Landscaping
Existing site landscaping is deficient and is in need of replacement and repair. The applicant
requested that the applicant provide screening for the parking lot and the applicant has provided
Autumn Sage, Red Ground Cover roses, and Green Leaf Texas Ranger plantings to meet this
request.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on October 4, 2018, and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15332, In-Fill
Development).
The proposed project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and applicable
zoning designations as hotels are a permitted use within the Downtown Core (DTC) district of the
Old Town Specific Plan and the Specific Plan Implementation General Plan Designation that
mirrors the zoning regulations. The site for the proposed project is 0.48 acres, well under the 5-
acre threshold required for an in-fill project. The site was previously developed as a retail center
and consequently has no habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the
3
project should not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality
as hotel uses were anticipated in the Old Town Specific Plan. Finally, the site is currently served
by all necessary utilities and public services.
FINDINGS
Modifications Development Plan (Section 17.05.030.E)
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable
requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City.
The proposed hotel use and modification will feature a complete façade renovation of the existing
structure. The architectural design of this building will meet the intent of the Old Town Specific
Plan (OTSP). The new façade will incorporate a Monterey Style architecture that is allowed by
the OTSP. The structure includes stucco with hump & bump, wood balcony railings, rubble stone
accents, multi-lite windows, and a mix of symmetrical and regular window placements that are
appropriate for Monterey Style buildings. The proposed hotel will also meet Economic
interaction with oth
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and
general welfare.
The project has been reviewed to ensure compliance with the Development, Building, and Fire
Codes. These codes contain provisions that are designed to ensure for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
