BOARD BUSINESS
2 New Storaqe Buildinq for The Shire (28656 Old Town Front Street) (Applicant: Phyllis Buck)
(Rick Rush, Project Planner I).
RECOMMENDATION:
2.1 That the Old Town Temecula Local Review Board review, provides comments, and take
action with respect to the sign plan.
In response to queries of the Board with respect to temporary structures in Old Town, and as to
why the Board was reviewing this particular matter again, Senior Planner Hazen advised that
this item was before the Board because a formal application had been submitted.
Project Planner Rush presented to the Board the staff report (of record), noting the following:
· That this was a storage facility located in the rear of the property, visible from the street;
· That the exterior will be painted Classic White, with all wood and trim Rockwood Dark Red,
and the trim inside the windows will be painted Rockwood Terra Cotta; and
· That aluminum windows were being proposed, which were not permitted in the Old Town
Specific Plan.
Reiterating the Board's concerns when last reviewing this item, Board Member Montgomery
noted that the Board had provided direction, in particular that the aluminum windows be
replaced with wood windows; additionally relayed that this storage building has been moved
without authorization; and advised that it was his understanding that staff was going to further
address restricting temporary buildings in Old Town.
Providing additional information, Project Planner Rush relayed that the building was being
proposed as a permanent storage structure for the existing use.
Board Member Montgomery noted that the Board had additionally recommended that the
building be made permanent by affixing it to a foundation.
Senior Planner Hazen recommended that the Board provide locations where the building would
be acceptable.
Offering a recommendation, Project Planner Rush noted that if the storage building was located
on the south side of the building on the existing concrete area, that it would not be visible from
the street.
Referencing the minutes regarding the Board's previous action regarding this time, Senior
Planner Hazen relayed the following:
· That the Board had recommended that the project be approved subject to the aluminum
windows being replaced with wood;
R:lOIdTownlLRBIMinutesl09110101
2
That the Board had expressed concern regarding the temporary nature of the building; and
· Advised that at this time the Board could subject the project to additional conditions to
address the Board's concerns.
Reiterating the Board's recommendations, Harker relayed the following:
· That the building be permanently affixed to a solid foundation;
· That the aluminum-framed windows be replaced with wood-framed windows; and
· That the paint application be applied according to the proposed color scheme.
For Board Member Ross, Project Planner Rush relayed that all three buildings on this property
would be painted to match; for Board Member Blair, advised that the Building Department would
also be imposing conditions on the project; and concurred that the signage on the temporary
building would need to be removed since it constituted off-site signage, which was not
permitted.
In response to Board Member Allen, Development Processing Coordinator Noland relayed that
when the Board previously reviewed this project it was a pre-application process.
MOTION: Board Member Allen moved to approve the project with the proposed color
application, subject to the following modifications:
Add-
That the buildings be located permanently where denoted on the plan;
That the aluminum-framed windows be replaced with wood-framed windows; and
That the building be subject to the California Uniform Building Code, and the Old
Town Specific Plan.
Board Member Montgomery seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
Board Member Allen noted that the signage on the building did not need to be addressed in the
motion since it has already been determined that off-site signage was not permitted.
In response to Director of Planning Ubnoske, Development Processing Coordinator Noland
relayed that he would follow-up with Code Enforcement regarding the Real Estate sign currently
displayed on this building.
For Board Member Ross, Senior Planner Hazen noted that if the applicant pursued the concept
of signage for this building that this matter would come back before the Board.
Project Planner Rush provided additional information regarding the three buildings located on
this property which were owned by one property owner. Senior Planner Hazen advising that in
accordance with the Uniform building Code requirements, a structure cannot be located on the
lot line, noting that the applicant may be required to do a lot line adjustment or to move the
storage building. Director of Planning Ubnoske advised that staff would investigate as to
R:lOIdTownlLRBIMinutesl09110101
3
whether the storage building (which was an accessory structure) was proposed to located on a
separate lot which typically was not permitted. Project Planner Rush advising additionally that
the building would be required to meet the setback requirements.
Board Member Allen relayed that the since the proposal would be reviewed and conditioned by
the Planning and the Building Departments, there was no need for the Board to further condition
the project.
Additional discussion ensued regarding the Ice Building located proximate to The Porch use.
BOARD MEMBER'S REPORTS
With respect to The Old Town Center ( the Circle K Center), Board Member Blair relayed
that he was pleased with the architectural improvements and the uniform sign plan, but
noted that the plethora of window-displayed temporary signage (i.e., banners, neon signs,
and cardboard signage) was creating a negative visual appearance.
Regarding the Chaparral Building, Board Member Blair relayed his dissatisfaction with the
color scheme of the building, noting that it was his understanding that the approved gray
color would only be utilized on the porch and window trim.
In response, Senior Planner Hazen relayed that staff would further investigate the matter,
and report back to the Board, advising that if the applicant had not adhered to the Board's
approved color scheme, the applicant would need to make the appropriate changes.
In response to Board Member Blair's recommendation for the installation of additional
public restrooms in Old Town, Senior Planner Hazen noted that the recommendation would
be taken into consideration during the Capital Improvement Plan process.
D. For Board Member Blair, Redevelopment Management Analyst Hillberg noted that the
directional signage in Old Town would mostly likely be installed within 30 days.
E. After additional discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to schedule a Walking Tour
on October 1st at 9:00 A.M., and to hold the regular meeting on October 8~h.
STAFF'S REPORT
A. Project Planner Rush noted that the Stampede's applicant was requesting input from the
Board as to whether to add a mural of a fa(;ade improvement (on the southern wall) to
attract visitors.
It was the consensus of the Board to recommend that the applicant pursue plans for a
fagade improvement rather than a mural due to the existing mural in Old Town and the
potential to have entries to the use from the southern end with a fa(;ade improvement.

1.1 That the Old Town Temecula Local Review Board review, provide comments, and take
action with respect to the sign plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Planning Application No. 01-0305 (Application for Certificate of Appropriateness) is a request
by Otto and Nancy Baron to remodel and existing primary and secondary unit located at 28681
Pujol Street. Staff has separated the application into two phases per a request by the
applicant. The Board has reviewed the first phase and has recommended approval. The
architectural theme for the first phase of this application was Victorian. The second phase is
the request to remodel the existing 12' X 48' mobile home located closest to Pujol Street.
('~ ANALYSIS
Site Layout
The 12' X 48' mobile home is located in the southwest corner of the property nearest to Pujol
Street. Currently the mobile home is not on a permanent foundation nor is the applicant
proposing to place the mobile on a permanent foundation. The applicant is not being required
to meet setbacks for the Medium Density Residential, as they are not requesting to relocate the
structure. Per Section 17.03.070C3 of the Development Code the aforementioned structure
meets the requirements to be considered a "legal nonconforming structure."
Architecture
The applicant through this application is requesting to stucco the exterior of the building, add a
new roof and to add antique wood framed windows and doors with clear and stained glass.
Currently the exterior of the mobile home is the original aluminum siding per the manufactures
design. The applicant has not called out the specifics for the application of the stucco material
to be added to the mobile home. The applicant is requesting to use antique white stucco that
is not consistent with the approved color palette for Old Town. The applicant is also proposing
to paint the doors and the window frames black, which is also not consistent. The roofing
material that is being proposed is a red lightweight corrugated material to be installed right over
the existing roof. This type of material is also not consistent with the Specific Plan.
The architecture that is proposed is not consistent with the residential architecture outlined in
the Old Town Specific Plan. The proposed style is also not consistent with the Victorian style
amhitecture that has been previously approved for the primary residence located on this
property. The applicant feels that the type of architecture that they are providing is Greek
Revival and is time period appropriate. It is the opinion of staff that the roof material that is
being proposed is more consistent with a Spanish Colonial Style rather than the Greek Revival.
Furthermore it is the opinion of staff that there is not a clearly defined style of architecture. The
Greek columns and other elements on the structure that the applicant considers to be Greek
Revival were installed on the building with out the approval of the Director of Planning.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board request the applicant to make
specific design modifications to the project and re-submit the proposal. These design
modifications should include architecture that is not only consistent with the Specific Plan but
also consistent with the Victorian Architecture that has been approved for the primary
residence. In addition the applicant should also be required to use paint colors that are on the
approved color palette for Old Town.

ANALYSIS
The proposal includes (2) two 32-foot wall signs, one each on the south and east elevations for
a total of 64 square feet of wall signage. The Old Town Specific Plan allows for a maximum of
125 square feet of total signage for this building. Each sign is single-faced and made of
sandblasted red cedar wood painted with colors from the Old Town Sherwin Williams
Preservation Palette. The specific colors are: Stratford Blue (SW2864), Classical White
(SW2829) and Plymouth Green (SW2852). The sign on the south elevation includes the
following colors for additional artwork (boat, sun, mountains and water): Powder Blue
(SW2863), Rockwood Terra Cotta (SW2803), Colonial Revival Yellow (SW 2830), Weathered
Shingle (SW 2841), black and white. The Old Town Specific Plan design guidelines
recommend limiting a single sign to (4) four colors. The sign on the south elevation uses (9)
nine colors as part of a business logo. The letter height of these signs does not exceed 12" in
compliance with the design guidelines for building storefronts 50 (fifty) feet in width.
RECOMMENDATION
This project has been determined by staff to be consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan as
to size, letter height and materials. Although these signs represent the company logo of the
applicant, Staff is requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board evaluate the modern letter
font and multiple colors used in their design and provide direction for staff.

SUBJECT:
Children's Museum Conceptual Master Plan
PREPARED BY:
Herman D. Parker, Director of Community Services~,
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Old Town Local Review Board:
A) Approve the signage for the Imagination Workshop, Temecula Children's Museum
B)
Approve the exterior elevation renderings for the Imagination Workshop, Temecuia
Children's Museum
DISCUSSION: On December 12, 2000, the Board of Directors awarded a contract to
Sparks Exhibits and Environments to design the conceptual master plan for the interior exhibits and
environments, tenant improvements and exterior building improvements for the Imagination
Workshop, Temecula Children's Museum, A design committee consisting of Mayor Jeff
Comemhero, Mayor Pro Tern Ron Roberts, Commissioner Jack Henz, educational staff, and TCSD
staff, were assembled to work with the consultant to design the facility. Through a series of
community workshops, and several sub-committee meetings, the committee has created, viewed
and approved the conceptual master plan for the Temecula Children's Museum. It is now presented
for your review and approval.
Located in Old Town Temecula on Main Street in the Old Trading Post building, the 7,500 square
foot Children's Museum is proposed to be the imaginative, turn-of-the-century, home of Dr. Phineus
P. Pennypickle, Phd. Dr. Pennypickle is a creative, eccentric and illusive inventor that is rumored to
have constructed a time machine. The Professor likes to come-up with new inventions all the time.
He is very secretive, somewhat paranoid and he never finishes anything he begins. It is alleged
that he has been seen wearing different disguises and some say he seems to be caught between
two worlds, the modern world and the late 1800's.
The Imagination Workshop is his home where he creates, invents and explores. The facility
features several rooms, which included similar areas that you would find in your own home: a dining
area where the Professor explores power and electricity, a library where he tinkers with inventions
and travel, his bedroom houses a perception and illusion machine, and in his kitchen he
experiments with chemistry and physics. All of these areas include interactive hands-on areas for
youngsters to explore. Hallways, tunnels and illusionary entrances and exits connect these areas.
The facility also offers a snack area; retail gift shop and also a dining room that may be used for
birthday parties and other youth activities. The facility creates an environment that is enriching,
engaging and captures your attention, with a great deal of color and imagery. It will be full of
interactives that promise to capture and hold the attention of our youth.
R:\CSCAGEND\ChiIdrens Museum.doc
Staff is requesting that the Board approve the exterior signage for the building, which will be
installed at the main entrance to the facility on Main Street and also above the group entry area
adjacent to the facility parking lot. The signage will be three dimensional with antique finishing. The
exterior elevations as illustrated indicate the proposed color scheme for the exterior of the building.
Staff is also requesting that the Board approve the exterior elevations.
