BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On June 26, 2002, the Planning Commission approved PA02-0120, a Development Plan
application for the construction of two medical office buildings totaling 14,600 square feet at the
vacant lot on the southeast corner of Margarita Road and North General Kearny Road.
On May 11, 2010, staff approved an Antenna Facility Application to construct a wireless antenna
facility within two existing building towers.
On October 31, 2019, an application received a Pre-Application for application number PR19-
1437 for a proposed 50-foot tall - at the southeast side
of the property. At the pre-application meeting staff commented on the lack of quality, camouflage,
and realistic appearance of the faux eucalyptus tree and staff recommended that the applicant
should instead modify the existing wireless communications facility within the existing building.
On July 28, 2020, Jared Hermelin, on behalf of AT&T Wireless, submitted a Modification
Application to modify both the original Development Plan and the existing Conditional Use
Permit. The scope of work includes an increase in tower height from 34-feet to 50-feet to
accommodate new wireless equipment to be camouflaged as a clock tower.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
Site Plan
The proposed project is located within Promenade Medical Plaza complex located east of the
Temecula Promenade Mall and southeast of the Margarita Road and North General Kearny Road
intersection. The proposed modification to the 1.56-acre site would allow for a height increase to
a building tower element and would allow additional wireless telecommunication facilities within
the southern tower of the 11,100 square foot medical building.
In addition to the new cellular antennas proposed to be located within the proposed clock tower, a
new
the lot. This CMU block enclosure is to be finished and painted to match the existing building and
will be screened from view with new landscaping surrounding the enclosure walls.
All new landscaping is consistent with the water efficient landscape design standards of Chapter
17.32 of the Temecula Municipal Code. The plant list surrounding the equipment enclosure
includes nine (9)- 5-gallon California Wild Grape along the walls and 19 5-gallon shrubs including
Architecture
The proposed plan is consistent with the Campos Verdes Specific Plan (Planning Area 2;
Commercial/Office District), the Citywide Design Guidelines and the City of Temecula Municipal
Code. The Campos Verdes Specific Plan Architectural Guidelines recommends Eclectic
Mediterranean as the master style for the community. The architecture of the proposed tower
element incorporates various design elements consistent with this type of architecture including
terra cotta tile roofing, monolithic forms accomplished by symmetrical continuous reglets and
deep-set openings as seen at the tower entry elements and recessed windows, and exposed roof
rafter tails.
The proposed tower element will be architecturally compatible with matching architectural
elements incorporated including the continuation of the horizontal lines, decorative reglets and
keystones above the recessed faux windows. The tower will match existing materials and colors
of the building. The proposed monolithic tower height is warranted since it is designed in a manner
that is compatible with the building and the Mediterranean architectural style. Furthermore, the
height of the tower is justified by the incorporation of the clock tower which gives purpose to the
tower.
The new eight-
be screened from view. Any visible portion of the wall will show that the equipment enclosure has
a stucco and color finish that matches the color of the medical office buildings. The equipment
enclosure will remain locked and protected from trespass with a metal mesh that is also painted to
match the building.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the SD Union Tribune on January 7, 2021, 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 per Section Number 15301,
Class 1, Existing Facilities for the building modification and exempt for the wireless facility
upgrades under 15303, Class 3, Conversion of Small Structures.
The proposed Modification Application to modify an existing building and Conditional Use Permit
for a wireless telecommunication facility to accommodate new wireless equipment and increase
the height of the existing building by 16 feet involves a negligible expansion of the existing and
expected uses. These are considered minor alterations to an existing building and, therefore, are
exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. In
addition, the construction of additional wireless telecommunication faciliti
equipment enclosure involves the construction of small structures and/or conversion of existing
small structures and is therefore exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15303.
FINDINGS
Modifications, Development Code Section 17.05.030.E
1. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all

Type 70 (On-Sale General Restrictive Service) license for the Hilton Garden Inn. The hotel is
currently under construction.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The Hilton Garden Inn is a 104 room hotel currently under construction along Jefferson Avenue

restaurant and bar are 11:00 A.M. until midnight. Alcohol can also be purchased by guests as part
of room service for consumption in their room during normal restaurant and bar operating hours.
Staff has contacted the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to determine
if the City is required to process Public Convenience and Necessity Findings for the project. ABC
informed staff that their agency will process these findings for the project.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the SD Union Tribune on January 7, 2021 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 pursuant to Section 15301,
Class 1, Existing Facilities and Section 15061(b)(3).
The Conditional Use Permit for a Type 70 (On-Sale General - Restrictive) license involves a
negligible expansion of a previously approved use (Hotel). These license types are common at
hotels and motels. There will not be any physical changes made to the structure or site as part of
this project. In addition, live entertainment is not proposed as part of this application. Therefore,
the proposed project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301.
Moreover, the proposed project is also exempt from further environmental review pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the sale of alcohol to hotel patrons may have a significant effect on the environment. As noted
above, the hotel use is not expanded or being altered in any way. Instead, the service of alcohol
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (Development Code Section 17.04.010.E)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, which specifies
Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) for this site, and conditionally allows establishments to
operate with a Type 70 (On-Sale General - Restrictive) license. In addition, the project is in
conformance with the Uptown Temecula Specific Plan. This Specific Plan allows the proposed use
upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits would
serve as an incidental use to the hotel operations.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent
uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
As conditioned, the proposed conditional use for a Type 70 (On-Sale General Restrictive) license
is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and
structures because the surrounding area includes similar uses such as restaurants that also serve
alcohol. The proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or
structures as the alcohol will only be served on-site to hotel patrons.
The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards,
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development
features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the planning commission or council
in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The existing building is being constructed in conformance with the Building Code, Development
Code, and Fire Code. Therefore, the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in Uptown Temecula Specific Plan and
required by the Planning Commission in order to integrate the use with other uses in the
neighborhood. The proposed conditional use to allow the service of alcohol will not physically
alter the site.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community.
The project meets all the requirements of the Building Code, Development Code, and Fire Code,
which provide safeguards for the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Therefore,
the project is not anticipated to be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the
community.
That the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for a conditional use
permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Director of
Community Development, Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for a Conditional Use Permit has been based
on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.

ent can lead to a reduction in the
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery
or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition
can serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional
zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public
to private space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations
where there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe
locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the
location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e.
Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural
surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel
safer. f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may
conflict with each other (outdoor baske
distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of
space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause
abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to
increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk
of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide
such a perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be
accomplished through improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
23. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their location
can contact the Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police Department at (951)

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On April 19, 2019, Cameron Dancho, on behalf of AT&T, submitted Planning Application No.
PA19-0622, a Wireless Facilities Application to allow for the construction and operation of a new
telecommunications facility. The project site is currently vacant.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting the approval of a Wireless Facilities Application to allow for the
construction and operation of an AT&T wireless telecommunication facility disguised as a faux
palm tree. The project is located within the Temecula Auto Mall at 42069 DLR Drive.
The faux palm tree will be located on the northwest portion on the project
site. Several existing palm trees are located east of the project site. In addition, palm trees are used
extensively along Ynez Road within the Temecula Auto Mall near the project site. For these
reasons, staff has determined that the proposed tower design is appropriate.
The tower will house three sectors. Each sector will contain four antennas for a total of twelve
antennas. Support equipment for these antennas will be located within an immediately adjacent
equipment enclosure. Access to the tower and related equipment will be restricted to authorized
personnel only.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the SD Union Tribune on January 7, 2021 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, Class 32,
In-Fill Development Projects).
The project consists of the installation of twelve cellular antennas within a proposed tower
designed to resemble a palm tree. The project is located within an urbanized area surrounded by
Interstate 15 and auto dealerships. Furthermore, the project is consistent with the City of
Temecula General Plan and Development Code, occurs on a site that is less than five acres, has
no value as habitat, and can be serviced by all major utilities. Finally, approval of the project will
not result in any adverse impacts related to traffic, noise, water quality and air quality. The project
will require minimal servicing so it will have a negligible impact on traffic. The project will have
no impact on noise, water quality and air quality.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (Code Section 17.04.010.E)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The proposed Conditional Use Permit is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The proposed
use requires a minimal amount of servicing, which will create negligible traffic. The proposed use
is consistent with and meets all the requirements stated in the Telecommunications Facility and
Antenna Ordinance and Development Code. In addition, the project is consistent with the General
Plan by adhering to Community Development Goal No. 2: Policy 2.1. This goal and policy require
that appropriate design standards and guidelines be incorporated into each project. This project
will resemble a palm tree in an effort to match existing live palm trees located nearby. This design
will reduce the visual impact created by the project.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent
uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
By designing the project to resemble a palm tree, the proposed project is intended to integrate
with the surrounding built and natural environment. The adjacent uses, buildings and structures
will not be adversely affected by the project.
The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards,
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development
features prescribed in this Development Code and required by the Planning Commission or City
Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The project is consistent with the requirements stated in the Antenna Ordinance (Chapter 17.40),
as well as the applicable sections of the Development Code. As a result, the proposed conditional
3
use meets the design requirements of the Development Code and Planning Commission in order
to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community.
All antennas and their support equipment will be located within a faux palm tree and equipment
enclosure. In addition, access to the project site will be restricted to authorized personnel only. In
addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Development Code, Building
Code, and Fire Code, all of which contain provisions designed to protect the health, safety, and
general welfare of the community.
That the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for a Conditional Use
Permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning
Commission or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for a Wireless Facility Application has been
based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.

28. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crime prevention through environmental
design as developed by the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept
The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included as conditions below: a. Provide clear border
definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition may include fences, shrubbery
or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition
can serve as a means of identifying controlled space. b. Provide clearly marked transitional
zones. Persons need to be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public
to private space. c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations
where there is good surveillance and access control. d. Place safe activities in unsafe
locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a location and subsequently render the
location less attractive to abnormal users due to observation and possible intervention. e.
Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of natural
surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the users of the areas feel
safer. f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may
distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict. g. Improve scheduling of
space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk for normal users and cause
abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and intervention. h. Redesign space to
increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users need to be award of the risk
of detection and possible intervention. Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide
such a perception of surveillance. i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be
accomplished through improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and
design efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
29. Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
