John Telesio Chairman Debbie Ubnoske Director of Planning ITEM 3 STAFF REPORT -PLANNING CITY OF TEMECULA PLANNING COMMISSION DATE OF MEETING: June 18, 2008 PREPARED BY: Cheryl Kitzerow/Matt Peters ,Associate Planner PROJECT Planning Application Number PA07-0306, a First Extension of Time SUMMARY: for Tract Map No. 32346 (PA04-0178) located on the north side of Nicolas Road, east of Joseph Road CEQA: Notice of Detennination, Previous Negative Declaration adopted Section 15162 BACKGROUND SUMMARY/ANALYSIS On March 16, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA04-0178, Tentative Tract Map No. 32346, to subdivide 28.6 acres into 71 single-family lots with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet consistent with the Low Medium Residential zoning district. This approval was for a period of 3 years. On October 30, 2007, Colleen Harris, on behalf of Apex Engineering, filed Planning Application No. 07-0306, a request for the first extension of time for previously approved Tract Map No. 32346. Per section 16.09.200 of the Temecula Subdivision Ordinance, the subdivider may apply for a maximum of five one-year time extensions. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the subdivision. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on June 7, 2008, 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 consistent with the previously adopted Negative Declaration and a Notice of Determination will be prepared per Section 15162. RECOMMENDATION Staff has determined that the proposed Extension of Time, as conditioned, is consistent with the City's General Plan, Development Code, Subdivision Ordinance, and all applicable ordinances, standards, guidelines, and policies. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Extension of Time based upon the findings and with the attached Conditions of Approval. FINDINGS Extension of Time/Findings of Approval of Tentative Maps, Temecula Subdivision Ordinance Section 16.09.140 The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan and the City of Temecula Municipal Code. Staff finds that Tentative Map No. 32346 as previously approved and conditioned is consistent with the General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Development Code, and the Municipal Code because the project meets design standards as required in the General Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code and the Municipal Code. The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use. The proposed land division is not land designated for conservation or agricultural use. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed by the Tentative Map. The project consists of a 71 lot Tentative Tract Map on property designated for low medium density residential uses, which is consistent with the General Plan. The density for the project falls below the top of the density range as described in the General Plan. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with Conditions of Approval, are not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. No impacts beyond those already ident~ed for the previously approved Tentative Map and Development Plan are anticipated from the creation of the 71 residenatial parcels. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public heath problems. The project has been reviewed and commented on by the Fire Prevention Department, Public Works Department and the Building and Safety Department. As a result, the project will be conditioned to address their concerns. Further, provisions are made in the General Plan and the Development Code to ensure that the public health, safety and welfare are safeguarded. The project is consistent with these documents. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.

The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan and the City of Temecula Municipal Code; Staff finds that Tentative Map No. 32346 as previously approved and conditioned is consistent with the General Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Development Code, and the Municipal Code because the project meets design standards as required in the General Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Code and the Municipal Code. B. The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land will not be too small to sustain their agricultural use; The proposed land division is not land designated for conservation or agricultural use. C. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development proposed by the Tentative Map; The project consists of a 71 lot Tentative Tract Map on property designated for low medium density residential uses, which is consistent with the General Plan. The density for the project falls below the top of the density range as described in the General Plan. D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with Conditions of Approval, are not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; No impacts beyond those already identified for the previously approved Tentative Map and Development Plan are anticipated from the creation of the 71 residential parcels. E.

The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by the public will be provided; All required rights-of--way and easements have been provided on fhe Tentative Map. The City of Temecula has reviewed these easements and has found no potential conFlicts. H. The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements (Quimby); Appropriate parkland dedication or in-lieu fees will be required at Building Permit issuance. Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Extension of Time: A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA), the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Extension of Time. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Negative Declaration previously adopted for the Project, approved by the Planning Commission as Planning Application No. PA04-0178 on March 16, 2005. Based on that review, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed Extension of Time does not require the preparation of a subsequent Negative Declaration as none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist. Specifically, the Planning Commission also finds that the proposed Extension of Time does not involve significant new effects, does not change the baseline environmental conditions, and does not represent new information of substantial importance which shows that the Extension of Time will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed in the Negative Declaration. All potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Extension of Time are adequately addressed by the prior Negative Declaration. An Notice of Determination pursuant to Section15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs) is therefore the appropriate type of CEQA documentation for the Extension of Time, and no additional environmental documentation is required. Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA07-0306, a First Extension of Time for Tentative Tract Map No. 32346, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 4 STAFF REPORT -PLANNING CITY OF TEMECULA PLANNING COMMISSION DATE OF MEETING: June 18, 2008 PREPARED BY: Katie Le Comte, Assistant Planner PROJECT Planning Application Number PA06-0178, a Development Plan to SUMMARY: construct an approximately 29,000 square foot, two-story professional office building located south of Temecula Parkway and west of Avenida de Missiones (APN: 961-290-002) RECOMMENDATION: Approve with Conditions CEQA: Notice of Determination Section 15162 Susequent EIRs and Negative Declarations PROJECT DATA SUMMARY Name of Applicant: Mr. Peter Bussett representing Smith Consulting Architects General Plan Designation: Zoning Designation: Existing Conditions/ Land Use: Site: Professional Office (PO) Professional Office (PO) Vacant 1.48 acre parcel North: Existing Altura Credit Union; Professional Office (PO) South: Entitled St. Thomas Episcopal Church; Professional Office (PO) East: Existing single family homes; Low Medium Density Residential (LM) West: Existing Temecula Creek Village Condos; (PDO-4) Existing/Proposed Lot Area: Total Floor Area/Ratio 1.48 acres 0.45 FAR proposed Landscape Area/Coverage: 26% existing Parking Required/Provided: 80 spaces provided Min/Max Allowable or Required N/A 0.50 FAR maximum target 25% minimum required 75 spaces required BACKGROUND SUMMARY In August 1999, Tentative Parcel Map (No. 29132) was approved for this site. The Tentative Parcel Map subdivided one 6.68 acre parcel into five separate parcels. The subject 1.48 acre parcel (64,750 square feet) is the remaining lot of Map No. 29132 that has yet to be developed or entitled. The other four lots have either been developed (Altura Credit Union) or entitled (St. Thomas Episcopal Church). The Development Plan application for the Gateway Plaza Office Building was submitted on June 12, 2006. DRC comment letters were sent out on August 18, 2006, February 22, 2007 and February 22, 2008. During the DRC process it was discovered that a Reciprocal Easement Agreement was previously recorded on the property as a condition of the underlying map. This Agreement requires cross-lot vehicular and pedestrian access to be maintained across all five lots. However, the original site plan designs for this project showed the proposed Gateway Plaza Professional office building obstructing the required cross-lot access. Since this discovery, the applicant revised the site plan design to maintain the required vehicular and pedestrian cross-lot access and parking across all five parcels. Additionally, based upon the previous design concepts submitted during the DRC process, there were some concerns with the architectural compatibility of the proposed project with the immediately surrounding development. Since this issue was raised, staff and the applicant worked together to re-design the architecture to ensure consistency with the surrounding development. The landscape plans were also revised to ensure that the landscape planting types will be consistent with the adjacent landscape plantings for Altura Credit Union, and with the future plantings proposed for the neighboring St. Thomas Episcopal Church. 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 29,211 square foot, two-story professional office building is located in the Professional Office zoning .district south of Temecula Parkway and east of Avenida de Missiones. The front entry of the building faces east onto Avenida de Missiones. The site plan layout has been designed with the proposed building set back approximately 85 feet from the property line. Eighty parking spaces are being provided on-site, including four motorcycle spaces, four accessible parking spaces and two loading spaces. The number of parking spaces provided (80 spaces) exceeds the number of parking spaces that are required (75 spaces) by the Development Code's parking standards. The proposed floor area ratio for the proposed building is 0.45, which is below the target floor area ratio of 0.50 for projects in the Professional Office zoning district. An outdoor employee break area is proposed to be located on the south side of the project site. The employee break area is enhanced with decorative outdoor furniture and ornamental concrete paving. Matching ornamental concrete paving is also proposed to be installed at the front and rear of the building to highlight the building's entryways. The on-site pedestrian amenities include a bench, which is provided at the front of the building, and a bike rack, which is to be located under the wooden trellis structure on the north side of the building. The trash enclosure has been placed at the rear of the parcel and has been designed to coordinate with the primarily building's colors and materials. The site plan also includes a hammerhead turn around located on the west side of the project site behind the proposed building. This hammerhead turf-block feature was added to the site plan to accommodate the fire department truck turn-around requirements. Additionally, turf- block is being proposed due to the fact that the turn-around is located adjacent to St. Thomas Episcopal Church's future outdoor sport courts. This turf area will act as a buffer between the parking area for the proposed office project and the future St. Thomas Episcopal Church's outdoor sports ceurt/recreation area. Architecture Staff and the applicant have worked closely together to achieve an architectural design that ensures consistency with the surrounding development and meets the requirements of the City- wide Design Guidelines and Development Code. The proposed office building will abut both the future St. Thomas Episcopal Church and existing Altura Credit Union. The buildings on St. Thomas Episcopal Church's site replicate a Spanish Colonial architectural style, and the existing Altura's Credit Union building reflects a Mediterranean style. The architectural style for the proposed Gateway Plaza office building reflects aMission-inspired architectural style complete with a smooth stucco finish, Spanish roof tiles, exposed wooden rafter tails, decorative wrought iron faux-balcony elements, and brightly colored Spanish file accents. Roofline variation has been achieved through the use of varying parapet heights and contrasting roof materials. The cornice elements enhance the parapet walls and give the roofline a refined appearance, and a prominent turret element emphasizes the front entry of the building. The building is further enhanced with a circular glass atrium element, "old-world" inspired light fixtures and ornately detailed Spanish file accents. The decorative light fixtures utilized at the building entries coordinate with the wrought iron balcony elements on the second story of the building. The heavy wooden doors located at both the front and rear entryways coordinate with the exposed wooden rafter tails along the roofline, and wooden trellis features add additional interest to the north and south elevations. Arched windows have been utilized to break up the wall plane and add to the distinct Mission architectural style. Landscaoinct Approximately 26% (16,680 square feet) of the project site will be landscaped, which exceeds the 25% minimum landscape requirement for projects located in the Professional Office zoning district. Various sized trees, shrubs and ground cover will be placed on the site to frame and soften the propossed office building and parking area. Pink Crape Myrtles are proposed to be centrally planted to draw the eye from the front property line to the entrance of the building. The building's front and rear entryways are carefully framed with strategically planted Mexican Fan Palms and staked Italian Cypress trees. The outdoor employee seating area will be softened with Purple-Leaf Plum trees and the wooden trellis structures will be accented with flowering climbing vines. Staff has ensured that the proposed landscape plantings are consistent with the neighboring landscape plantings. Calffomia Pepper trees will be planted along Avenida de Missiones to screen and soften the parking area and drive aisle that runs across the east side of the project site and connects Altura Credit Union to St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The proposed California Pepper trees are consistent with the existing street trees planted on the Altura Credit Union site, and with the street trees approved for St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Fern pines will be planted, as consistent with the existing trees on the Altura Credft Union site, along the interior drive aisle between Altura Credit Union and the proposed office building. Holly Oak trees and Little Ollie shrubs will be planted along the south property Tine to coordinate with the approved landscape plans for St. Thomas Episcopal Church. A small cluster of Fruitless Olive trees will also be planted along the south properly line to add interest and variety to the mix of trees on-site. Holly Oak trees and Texas Privet will also be planted to soften the existing six-foot tall screen wall that currently exists adjacent to the west property line. The proposed trash enclosure will also be soften by densety planted Fortnight Lillies and staked climbing Cat's Claw. All irrigation and landscaping located within the approximately 15-foot landscape slope easement located on the west side of the propoerty line shall remain and be protected in place. A maintenance agreement has been recorded which grants this slope area by non-exclusive easement for landscaping, irrigation and slope maintenance to the adjacent property owner to the west (Temecula Creek Village, LLC/1"VC Property). No changes to this agreement have been proposed at this time. Access/Circulation There are two proposed points of vehicular access onto the project site. The first point of access is proposed to be taken off of Avenida de Missiones from an existing 24-foot reciprocal drive aisle located on the north side of the property adjacent to Altura Credit Union. The second point of access is proposed to be taken from an interim 15-foot drive aisle located adjacent to the south property line. Once St. Thomas Episcopal Church is developed, the 15-foot drive aisle will be expanded by an additional 24 feet. This access point will be constructed as a shared driveway between the two properties. The proposed office building has been situated in the center of the parcel to ensure cross-lot vehicular and pedestrian access along the front property lines of Parcel 1 (Altura Credit Union), Parcel 2 (proposed professional office building), and Parcels 3-5 (St. Thomas Episcopal Church), as consistent with the cross-lot access agreement. Two rows of parking stalls are proposed at the front of the building and will be screened heavily with a combination of trees, shrubs and ground cover. A hammerhead turtblock is being provided on the west side of the property at the rear of the project site to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles. The City of Temecula Fire Prevention Bureau reviewed the proposed site plan and on-site circulation proposal and has determined that the on-site circulation is adequate. On-site pedestrian circulation is being provided along the entire perimeter of the proposed office building to provide for safe on-site access from the surrounding parking areas into the office building. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on June 7, 2008 and mailed to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration and is exempt from further environmental review (CEQA Section 15162 subsequent EIR's and Negative Declarations). The previous Mitigated Negative Declaration was completed for the undedying parcel map, which subdivided one 6.68 acre parcel into five parcels. The proposed Development Plan for an approximately 29,000 square foot professional office builidng will not intensify the previously analyzed development that was anticipated for the project site. Therefore, the project will not result in environmental effects that were not discussed, analyzed and mitigated in the previously adopted mitigated negative declaration. The proposed Development Plan will not change the baseline environmental conditions, and will not result in one or more significant effects that were not discussed in the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Mitigated Negative Declaration analyzed and mitigated the potential significant environmental impacts of five typical professional office buildings on five separate lots. The Mitigated Negative Declaration anticipated that each lot in the subdivision would be built-out to the maximum development standards allowed by the Development Code. The analysis anticipated 30,000 square feet of professional office office space on each parcels, which totaled 150,000 square feet of building area for all five parcels combined. The actual building area, including the proposed project, is much less than the 150,000 square feet of building area that was previously anticipated. The Altura Credit Union building which has been constructed on Parcel 1 is 4,774 square feet. The combined development for St. Thomas Episcopal Church (parish hall, sanctuary, meeting rooms, offices and pre-school), which has been approved to be constructed on Parcels 3-5, will total 29,751 square feet. The subject professional office project is proposed to be 29,211 square feet. The combined square footage for all five parcels totals 63,736 square feet; which is much less than the 150,000 square feet of development that was previously analyzed and mitigated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Additionally, Altura's Credit Union, the proposed 29,211 square foot office building, and St. Thomas Episcopal Church have varying peak hours of operation. The office building and credit union peak hours of operation are weekdays during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and St. Thomas Episcopal Church's peak hours of operation are anticipated to be in the evening (after 5 p.m.) and on weekends, with the exception of the pre-school which will be operating Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. All potential environmental impacts associated with the development of the proposed 29,211 square foot office building are adequately addressed in the prior mitigated negative declaration, and the mitigation measures contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration will reduce the potentially significant environmental impacts to a level that is less than significant. A Notice of Determination pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines is therefore the appropriate type of CEQA documentation for the proposed Development Plan application, and no additional environmental analysis is required. FINDINGS The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for the Clty of Temecula and with all applicable requirements of State law and other ordinances of the City. The proposed Development Plan for the 29,211 square foot two-story office building is consistent with the General Plan for the City of Temecula. The proposed project is located within the Professional Office (PO) land use designation and according to the General Plan, this land use designation (PO) includes low-rise single ormulti-tenant offices situated in landscaped garden arrangements. The General Plan also indicates that typical uses in the Professional Office land use designation include legal, design, engineering, medical, corporate and governmental office users. The proposed project is a low-rise multi-tenant office building. The users are anticipated to be general office type uses consistent with the typical users anticipated by the General Plan. The proposed project is located within the Professional Office zoning district and is consistent with all Development Code requirements and Development Standards for projects located in this zone. ' The overall development of the land is designated for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. The overall design of the project, including site design, building elevations, parking, circulations and all other associated sfte improvements, is consistent with, and intended fo protect the public hea/th, safety and welfare. The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with all Development Code requirements and development standards for projects in the Professional Office zoning district. All applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a manner which will protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The project is properly planned and zoned and all requirements have been met to ensure the protection of the public, health, safety and welfare.

The Planning Commission hereby makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Development Plan: A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA), the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Development Plan to construct an approximately 29,000 square foot professional office building on Parcel 2 or Parcel Map 29132 located south of Temecula Parkway and west of Avenida de Missiones. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration that was adopted by Resolution No. 99-031, for the Tentative Parcel Map No. 29132, approved by the Planning Commission as Planning Application No. PA98- 0171 on August 18, 1999, including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein, and the subsequent environmental reviews required as mitigation measures identified therein. Based on that review, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed Development Plan for the proposed office building does not require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration as none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. 15162) exist. Specifically, the Planning Commission also finds that the proposed Development Plan to construct an approximately 29,000 square foot professional office building does not involve significant new effects, does not change the baseline environmental conditions, and does not represent new information of substantial importance which shows that the Development Plan will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. All potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Development Plan are adequately addressed by the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the mitigation measures contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Notice of Determination pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA guidelines is the appropriate type of CEQA documentation for the Development Plan, and no additional environmental documentation or analysis is required. Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA06-0178, a Development Plan to construct an approximately 29,000 square foot two-story professional office building located south of Temecula Parkway and west of Avenida de Missiones on Parcel 2 of Map No. 29132, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

Since its adoption, the City Council periodically amends the Development Code to improve its clarity and to make necessary wrrections. This amendment proposes to add new policy and to clarify a number of provisions within the Code, which are outlined below. ANALYSIS Minor Temoorarv Use Permits The proposed Amendment would allow more flexibility to businesses for temporary outdoor sales events. Currently, outdoor display and sales of merchandise within commercial land use districts are limited to two events per calendar year, not exceeding four consecutive days each. The amendment would provide businesses up to a maximum of sixteen days per calendar year subject to provisions that consider aesthetics (for outdoor displays lasting longer than five days) and also account for set-up and dismantling of the event. The amendment further clarifies that certain sidewalk sales are permitted without a Temporary Use Permit as described within the Supplemental Development Standards. A redlined proposal is attached as Attachment "A." Permanent Signs Recently, the City has seen an increase in the amount of sign submittals which advertise brand names in addition to the tenant name which clutters the appearance of the tenant sign. Staff proposes that a tenant sign is for the tenant name only rather than the brand of goods being sold. In order to prohibit advertising brand name products on permanent tenant wall and monument signs, a proposal has been added to the list of prohibited signs within Section 17.28.040 (prohibited signs) as redlined on Attachment "B " Future Tenant Identification Sians Staff has received requests from developers to display a temporary sign of a future tenant ("coming soon") for projects that have been entitled; however, the Development Code does not permit "future tenant identfication signs" until a building permit has been issued. Many times, there is a delay between receiving entitlement and when a building permit is issued (due to many reasons such as preparing construction plans, financing and plan check reviews). In order to accommodate future tenant identification signs during this time period, staff is proposing to allow these signs upon entitlement of a project, but not to exceed 120 days unless an active building permit exists. A redlined proposal is attached as Attachment "C." Detached Temaorarv Banners The City has been experiencing a proliferation of detached temporary banners within close proximity to each other. A proposal by staff to amend the Development Code will strengthen the general requirements for all detached temporary signs by restricting the duration and number of temporary banners so that only one detached banner may be permitted per lot, plus one non- profit detached banner may be allowable per major street frontage per lot. The proposed amendment will also ensure that muRiple detached temporary signs located on the same lot or center shall be constructed with similar frame design and sizes. Lastly, the revisions clarify size requirements. Anew subsection entitled "General Requirements for all detached temporary signs" has been added to the Code to clarify these standards. The redlined proposal is attached as Attachment "D." Second Dwelling Units/Guest Houses Currently the Development Code does not permit second dwelling units or guest houses in the front yard; however, staff has determined that second dwelling units and guest houses should be allowed within front yard areas of single family zoning districts with lots that are one acre or larger. The proposed amendment will allow residents located within the Hillside Residential (HR), Rural Residential (RR), Very Low Density (VL) and Low Density-1 (L-1) Residential Zoning Districts the ability to construct a second dwelling unit or guest house within the front yard provided that the second dwelling unit or guest house complies with the front yard setbacks and residential developmenUperformance standards. Staff is also proposing that a covenant be recorded declaring that the property owner will occupy either the primary residence or the secondary dwelling unit. A redlined proposal is attached as Attachment "E " Congregate Care An amendment to eliminate the requirement for covered parking spaces within congregate care facilities is proposed. Congregate care is senior housing within a group setting with separate or shared living quarters and shared dining. Many residents within these facilities do not drive and the requirement for covered parking has been determined to be unjustified. Additionally, the retirement communities of Hemet, Palm Springs, and Palm Desert were surveyed and none of these Cities require covered parking for congregate care facilities. Also, clarifications are made to the footnotes within Table 17.08.030 and Table 17.06.040 to clarify the intent of the Development Code that congregate care and senior housing shall refer to the residential pertormance standards as well as supplemental development standards contained in Chapter 17.10. A redlined proposal is attached as Attachment "F." Minor Clarifications/Tvooaraohical Corrections The Development Code currently allows for automobile sales with "outdoor" display/storage of vehicles and automobile sales with "only indoors display/storage of vehicle, but does not classify automobile sales with "no" display/storage of vehicles. The proposal clarifies that automobile sales with no display shall be permitted within the same zone as automobile sale with only indoor displays since the land use impact is aestheticalty the same. Also, in view of the fact that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) does not allow retail auto sales with "no" display or storage of vehicles (retailers must have display/storage for retail sales), the proposal provides that auto sales with no display or storage must be only wholesale or autobroker sales in order to be consistent with the DMV requirements. Additional minor clarifications/typographical corrections are proposed in two other sections of the code and further explained as redlined on Attachment "G." LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on June 7, 2008 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project is exempt from further environmental review and a Notice of Exemption will be issued in compliance with CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). The proposed Development Code Amendments are exempt from the requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA'~ pursuant to Title 14 of the Califomia Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code may have a sign cant effect on the environment. Staff concluded that there is no possibility that the Code amendments my have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Development Code Amendments are minor policy changes, c/arfiications, and typographical corrections to Title 17 of the City of Temecula Municipal Code. One of the proposed amendments allows additional flexibility in Temporary Use Permits but would not significantly affect the environment and does not preclude an independent analysis of asite-speck temporary use proposal. The remaining proposed amendments do not result in a significant increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed in accordance with the Development Code. These proposed amendments are minor clarifications of the Code or typographical corrections. As such, there is no possibility that the proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code will have a sign cant effect on the environment. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve an Amendment to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code. FINDINGS The Planning Commission, in approving the proposed Municipal Code amendments in Planning Activity LR08-0032, hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are allowed in the land use designations in which the uses an: located, as shown on the land use map, or are described in the text of the General Plan. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the General Plan. The proposed amendments fo Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein.

Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. On June 18, 2008 the Planning Commission identified a need to amend portions of Title 17 of the adopted Temecula Municipal Code in order to revise Minor Temporary Use Permit requirements to provide more flexibility in the number of days per year for outdoor display and sales of merchandise within Commercial Land Use Districts, allow second dwelling units to be located within the front yards in the L-1, VL, RR and HR Residential Zoning Districts, revise Parking Standards for congregate care facilities by eliminating the covered parking requirement, amend Sign Standards to prohibit advertising of a brand name product on permanent signs (except when the brand name product is the primary name of the business being advertised), allow future tenant identification signs to be permitted upon entitlement, provide additional standards for detached temporary banner signs, and make other minor clarifications and typographical corrections to the Development Code (Long Range Planning Project Number LR08-0032). B. The Ordinance was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law. C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the application and environmental review on June 18, 2008, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.

At the conclusion of the Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Commission recommended that the City Council approve Long Range Planning Project Number LR08-0032 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder. E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the application hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are allowed in the land use designations in which the uses are located, as shown on the land use map, or are described in the text of the General Plan. B. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the General Plan. C. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code are consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 08- (to amend portions of Title 17 of the adopted Temecula Municipal Code in order to revise Minor Temporary Use Permit requirements to provide more flexibility in the number of days per year for outdoor display and sales of merchandise within Commercial Land Use Districts, allow second dwelling units to be located within the front yards in the L-1, VL, RR and HR Residential Zoning Districts, revise Parking Standards for congregate care facilities by eliminating the covered parking requirement, amend Sign Standards to prohibit advertising of a brand name product on permanent signs (except when the brand name product is the primary name of the business being advertised), allow future tenant identification signs to be permitted upon entitlement, provide additional standards for detached temporary banner signs, and make other minor clarifications and typographical corrections to the Development Code) is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The Ordinance will have no adverse environmental affects because the proposed Development Code Amendments are minor policy changes, clarifications, and typographical corrections to Title 17 of the City of Temecula Municipal Code. One of the proposed amendments allows additional flexibility in temporary use permits but would not significantly effect the environment and does not preclude an independent analysis of a site specific temporary use proposal. The remaining proposed amendments do not result in a significant increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed in accordance with the Development Code. These proposed amendments are minor clarifications of the Code or typographical corrections. As such, there is no possibility that the proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance. Section 4. Recommendation.

ITEM 6 STAFF REPORT -PLANNING CITY OF TEMECULA PLANNING COMMISSION DATE OF MEETING: June 18, 2008 PREPARED BY: Dale West, Case Planner PROJECT To develop a Sustainability Action Plan (Long Range Planning SUMMARY: Project Number LR08-0007), which includes recommendations for endorsement of the California Green Builder rating system for residential homes and a Municipal Green Building Policy (LR08- 0001), and the adoption of an updated Water Efficient landscape Design Ordinance (LR08-0002) CEQA: Categorically Exempt Section 15308 Class 8 BACKGROUND SUMMARY On May 21, 2008, staff presented to the Planning Commission, the intent to create a Sustainability Plan for the City. As discussed, at that meeting, the Sustainability Plan is a comprehensive document that would establish measurable goals, policies and implementation strategies to reduce environmental impacts of the existing built environment and from future development. However, prior to the completion of a Sustainability Plan, early action measures can be taken by the City to improve the quality of life for its residents, such as the adoption of a green building rating system for single-family residential homes, a green building policy for municipally owned buildings, and an updated Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The adoption of these early action measures would help to conserve energy, water and other natural resources, and would result in positive benefits to the environment, public health, safety and welfare to the community. Following the presentation, the Commissioners emphasized the importance of creating measurable goals, and asked questions regarding the ability to quantify benefits of a Green Building Program, and emphasized the need far retrofit programs targeted at existing buildings. Additionally, the Commissioners suggested that the program have a strong public education component to it, and they emphasized the importance of verifying that a building has been built with the green standards as it was approved. Staff indicated their intent to bring back recommendations for a voluntary green building rating system for residential homes, a policy that municipal buildings be constructed with green measures incorporated into them, and an updated Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. In the following analysis, discussion will focus on three topics: 1) creating a Sustainability Plan, 2) establishing a Green Building Program, and 3) updating the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The discussion will be followed by the three recommendations as previously mentioned. ANALYSIS City of Temecula Sustainability Plan The Sustainability Plan is intended to act as a policy and implementation document that guides the City to think, plan, and act in a more sustainable manner, or in other words, to ensure that the City can meet its current needs (environmental, economic and social) without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. Staff envisions the structure of the Sustainability Plan to be guided by a Mission Statement and guiding principles that provide the basis from which an effective Plan is created. The Plan would include the following goal areas: Energy, Water, Indoor Air Quality, Materials and Resources, Site and Community, and Open Space. Wdhin each goal area, speck goals would be established which provide the impetus for creating strategies to achieve the goals. For each goal, indicators would be identified to measure progress toward meeting the goals. Baseline and future targets would be developed for the indicators in order to establish achievable milestones to measure progress towards meeting the goals. Strategies and programs would be identified and implemented, and then the success of their implementation would be determined by the success of meeting targets and milestones. Finally, the leadership and guidance for the development of a Sustainability Plan should be provided by a steering committee and a technical advisory committee. Staffs vision of a Sustainability Plan, is similar to the City of Pasadena's Green City Action Plan (attached). The creation of Pasadena's Action Plan began when the City adopted the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords. The Accords contain twenty-one specific goals within seven thematic areas: Energy, Waste Reduction, Urban Design, Urban Nature, Transportation, Environmental Health, and Water. These thematic areas are similar to the goal areas envisioned for the Temecula Sustainability Plan. As staff continues to develop a Sustainability Plan, we will look to cities like Pasadena for guidance. The creation of a Sustainability Plan will require thoughtful decisions, which take time to work through. In the meantime, there are early actions that can be taken by the City as we move forward with developing the City's Sustainability Plan. Three items, which can be acted upon before strategies are developed as part of a Sustainability Plan are, the adoption of a green building rating system for single-family homes, the adoption of a green building policy for City owned buildings, and the adoption of a Water Efficient Landscape Design Ordinance. Green Building Program On May 21, 2008, staff presented three green building rating systems to the Commission, the California Green Builder (CGB), the Build It Green-Green Point Rater (GPR), and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes. Based on the discussion with the Planning Commission, review of the other programs, meetings with Western Riverside Council of Governments staff and the Building Industry Association representative, staff is recommending the City adopt the Califomia Green Builder rating system for new residential homes as a voluntary element and the first step toward developing a Citywide Green Building Program. The California Green Builder rating system focuses on production single-family residential homes, but additional rating systems and policies can be added to expand the City's Green Building Program in the future. The Califomia Green Builder rating system was developed by the Building Industry Institute and is endorsed by the Building Industry Association. The rating system was created for production home builders with a focus on improving energy and water efficiency, indoor air quality and comfort, on-site waste recycling, and wood conservation. Specific information regarding the protocols and certification process are attached for additional reference. The Califomia Green Builder program elements are as follows Enerav Conservation Cal'rfornia Green Builder homes are designed and built to exceed California's Title 24 energy efficiency standards by at least fifteen percent. Special glazing is used to minimize ultraviolet rays and heat, which helps lower utility bills. The installation of higher-performance Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems will use less energy to cool the same amount of area as typical systems. Water Conservation Calffomia Green Builder homes use up to 20,000 gallons less water than similar, newly constructed "non green" homes. Circulating hot water systems, ultra low flow toilets and weather based irrigation controllers are used to reduce water consumption. Indoor Air Quality Califomia Green Builder homes require Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) design protocols to ensure comfort and adequate ventilation. In addition, the use of high efficiency filters, and the use of paints, lacquers and carpets that have low or no volatile organic compounds will improve indoor air quality. Waste Diversion The Califomia Green Builder program requires that at least fifty percent of construction waste be diverted from the landfill. Wood Conservation The California Green Builder program requires engineered wood products manufactured with feedstock primarily from sustainable forests. Certified wood products that come from forests that are overseen by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), American Tree Farm System (AYES), the Canadian Standards Association's Sustainable Forest Management Systems (CAN/CSA), or the Forests Stewardship Council (ESC) will qualify for credit under the California Green Builder program. Certification In order to determine that a home qualifies as a CGB home, third party inspection of randomly selected homes and verification of documentation by a California Green Builder Coordinator are required. Once documentation is verified and final inspections performed, the builder is entitled to use the California Green Builder logo and designate the project as a "green" subdivision or community. The Building Industry Institute has determined that the cost to implement CGB measures into a home is approximately $2,700, which includes the third party inspections and certification process. Adopting a voluntary Green Building Program for single-family residential homes is the first step toward developing a Green Building Program for the City. This initial step will allow staff to evaluate, and bring forward recommendations for additional Green Building Program elements such as, creating incentives to encourage builders to construct green homes and buildings, training for inspections and verification, and expansion of voluntary green standards for commercial buildings. Municipal Green Building Policy The City's endorsement of the CGB program and rating system is a sign that the City is moving toward becoming a sustainable City; therefore, the City should show its commitment and leadership for sustainable building practices by adopting a policy that requires all new construction of City owned facilities to be built with green building practices in mind. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system should be used to determine what constitutes a green facility. The LEED Certified level of certification should be the minimum standard for all new construction. In doing so, the City can show its commitment to building sustainable facilities. Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance The City first adopted Ordinance No. 9413 on May 10, 1994, establishing water efficient landscape standards to Title 17 of the City of Temecula Municipal Code. Since the original adoption of this Ordinance, the City has grown substantially resuting in an increased demand for water. Additionally, the water agencies are promoting water conservation in response to severe drought cond'Rions in the western United States, and severe cutbacks of water delivery from the Sacramento Delta (see attachments). In addition to the above mentioned events, the State is currently amending their Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, and will require Cities to adopt the State's Model Ordinance or an equally effective Ordinance by July 1, 2010. Staff is moving forward with this update in response to the water conservation needs and in anticipation of the State's requirements. Staff has worked with the City's landscape architect and the water agencies to draft standards that are both consistent with the Riverside County's Water Efficient Landscape Standards and the water agencies goals for water conservation. The City of Temecula's updated Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance promotes water efficient landscaping through the appropriate use of irrigation technology and management, and prescribes reasonable standards, restrictions, and requirements concerning water use in the landscaped areas. It will apply to all planning discretionary permits and any other permit when the Planning Director deems it necessary. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on June 7, 2008. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Staff has determined that the adoption of the California Green Building rating system, the adoption of a policy that all new construction and additions to City owned facilities be designed and constructed to achieve a minimum LEED Certified rating, and the adoption of the WaterEfficient Landscape Design Ordinance are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15308, Class 8 -Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment. The adoption of the California Green Builder rating system is a voluntary program element that does not change the development standards for single-family residential homes, and proposed amendment to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code improves the conservation of water resources by establishing more stringent drought tolerant and irrigation landscape standards. These actions result in the conservation of energy, water, and other natural resources, resulting in positive benefits to the environment, public health, safety and welfare of the community. TION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt a Resolution endorsing the California Green Builder Rating System as a first step toward establishing a Green Building Program for the City of Temecula, and that the City adopt a policy that requires all new construction and additions to City owned facilities to be designed and constructed to achieve a minimum LEED Certfied rating. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve an amendment to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code that would replace Chapter 17.32 entitled WaterEfticient Landscape Design with a new Chapter 17.32 of the same name.

Building Industry InstRute ///~~~ p { ~ { ° p p , { 1 Protocol Documentation green BUILD[R Advanced Ventilation Advanced Ventilation Requirements: CGB requires Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA [or equivalent]) design protocols be used to ensure comfort and adequate ventilation. In addition, Minimum Efficency Reporting Values (MERV) 6 filters and use of low/no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) help improve indoor air quality. CGB features include: HVAC system designed by a licensed engineer and installed to ACCA Manual J, S and D (or equivalent); HVAC ducts diagnostically tested per CGB tight duct protocols; MERV 6 HVAC filters installed on return air grills; and Low or no VOC for paints, lacquers, floor underlayment and carpet. The goal for each HVAC system is to provide proper air flow, heating, and cooling to each room. This HVAC installation should follow the BII HVAC Installation protocols (found at •,>^,rr ,i,_;;;n.c;a;) and should meet the criteria and installation procedures that are listed below. The BII HVAC installation protocols contain more detailed information on design, fabrication, installation, and performance testing. Criteria for a Quality HVAC System An HVAC system should.' 1. Be propedy sized to provide correct air flow, and meet room-by-room calculated heating and cooling loads; 2. Be installed so that the static air pressure drop across the air handler is within manufacturer and design specifications; 3. Have sealed supply ductwork that provides proper air flow; 4. Be installed with a return system sized to provide correct return air flow; 5. Have sealed return ductwork that will provide proper air flaw to the fan, and avoid air entering the HVAC system from polluted zones (e.g., fumes from autos and stored chemicals, and attic particulaies); 6. Have balanced air flows between supply and return systems to maintain neutral pressure in the home; 7. Minimize duct air temperature gain or loss between the air handler and room registers, and between return registers and the air handler; S. Be properly charged with refdgerant and 9. Have proper burner operation and proper draft. Procedures to Design and Install an Air Distribution System The following steps should be followed to design and install HVAC systems to ensure efficiency and comfort: i. Determine room-by-room toads and air-Flows using ACCA Manual J calculation procedures (or equivalent); 2. Layout duct system on floor plan, accounting for the direction of joists, roof hips, fire-walls, and other potential obstructions. Determine register locations and types, duct lengths, and connections required to produce layout given construction constraints; 3.

When the lawn area is reduced and the shrub area is increased, there is a net reduction in water use. In addition, drip ircigation and weather based irrigation controllers provide significant savings at modest cost. These features can save up to 32 gallons per square foot per year. Large front yards with no turf may save enough water for a builder to avoid installing a WBIC as part of their water conservation plan. Clothes Washing Clothes washing accounts for about 12,000 gallons annual usage. The homebuyer usually provides a clothes washer. However, if a builder chooses to supply a dothes washer with a water factor 5 6.0, the home will save about 2,200 gallons of water per year. The CGB Program uses the following amounts for water reduction calculations: • WBIC: total square feet X 10 gallons per square foot per year • Drip: total square feet X 6 gallons per square foot per year • Native Plants: total square feet X 12 gallons per square foot per year • Reduced Turf: total square feet X 3.5 gallons per square foot per year • Toilets: total toilets X 2,154 per toilet per year • Recirculation or parallel DHW distribution piping: 7,000 gallons per year • High efficiency (W.F, s 6.0) Gothes washer (optional): 2,200 gallons per year CGB Worksheet Information: The CGB worksheet consists of four sections (energy efficiency, advanced ventilation and design, waste management, and water conservation).

The following pages contain more detailed information on fabrication, installation and performance testing. California: When "Duct Leakage Reduction Compliance Credit" is selected as a feature in California energy calculations, verification of leakage rate is required. The installer must test every home either at rough or final. At rough, without the air handler installed, maximum allowable leakage (calculated as percent of total fan flow) is 4%. At rough with the air handler installed, or at final, maximum allowable leakage is 6%. If the installer chooses to test and certifies leakage at rough, the installer must inspect the system at final. The installer must complete a CF- 6Rfor each home. Third party verification is also required by a HERS Rater with curcent certification by a California Energy Commission (CEC) approved Rater Provider. The HERS Rater must test at final using the CEC sampling protocol. Maximum allowable leakage is 6°k (calculated as percent of total fan flow). The HERS Rater must inspect using the CEC protocols and the HERS Rater must complete a CF-4R for each home. Criteria An HVAC system should: 1. Be installed so that the static air pressure drop across the handler is within manufacturer and ConSol design specifications 2. Have sealed supply and return ductwork that will provide proper airflow, and avoid air entering the HVAC system from polluted zones (e.g., fumes from autos and stored chemicals, and attic particulates) 3. Have balanced airflows between supply and return systems to maintain neutral pressure in the home 4. Minimize duct air temperature gain or loss between the air handler and supply registers; and between return registers and the air handler 5. Be properly charged with refrigerant 6.

TEST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE The follotaing are testing requirements and procedures that must be followed to ensure that the HVAC system has been property installed. The tests are designed to determine whether. 1. Room-by-room airflows are correct, 2. Total supply fs as designed; 3. Total return =total supply; 4. Ducts, plenum, and air handler are tight, 5. Static pressure is correct. Test the system to ensure that it performs properly, by (1) verifying HVAC equipment sizes installed are those specified, (2) measuring duct leakage, and measuring either (3a) fan flow or (3b) supply and return flows and plenum static pressures: 1. Air conditioner sensible capacity must be no more than 15% greater than the calculated sensible load; fan flow must be greater than 350 cfm/ton; check that the correct size air handler is installed. 2. Ensure that the duct system does not leak substantially: a. A rough system, including both supply and return but without the air handler, should not leak more than 3% of specified fan flow {cfm leakage measured with HVAC system pressurized to 25 Pa); b. For finished installation, including supply, return, .the air handler and finished registers, measured leakage must be less than 6% of nominal fan flow, or measured fan flow or of measured return flow (cfm leakage measured with HVAC system pressurized l0 25 Pa); 3a. Measure air handler air flow and static pressure across fan; ensure that total air handler output is within 5% of design and manufacturer specifications at a static pressure within 0.1 in wg of design. 3b. Supply and return air flow, and static pressure requirements: Ensure that supply and return flows are correct, and that the static pressure across the fan is correct: a. Measure room-by-room airflows to ensure that each register is within 15% of Manual 0 design airflow, and that the entire supply is within 5% of design, b. Measure return airflow to ensure that it is within 5% of the total supply airflow, c. Test static pressure drop across the blower to ensure that it is within 0.1 in wg of design and manufaGurer specifications. Duct leakage can be determined using a pressurization or depressurization technique; for details, see ASHRAE Standard 152P, California Energy Commission ACM Manual Appendix F, Minneapolis Duct BlasterT" manual, or other commercially available duct pressurization or depressurization devices; Duct leakage to unconditioned space can be determined with the house pressurization or LBL simplified technique; for details see CEC report P400-91-031CN, Section Six; Fan flow, supply flow and return flow measurements, see Minneapolis Duct BlasterT"' manual (or equivalent); alternatively for supply and return flows, use a calibrated flow hood. Do not use a pitot tube, or any type of anemometer to determine these air flows, Static pressure drop across the fan is measured using static pressure probes in the return plenum and in the supply plenum.

The home will not be as comfortable and energy costs will be increased if insufficient insulation is installed, or it is installed incorrectly, such as being compressed or installed with gaps. Insufficient andfor improperly installed insulation can lead to defect litigation. Furthermore, it is not difficult to install insulation conecdy. An air barrier is needed in all thermal envelope assemblies to prevent air movement. Insulation, other than foam, is not designed to stop air movement. For insulation installed horizontally, such as in an attic, the insulation must be in substantial contact with the assembly air barrier (usually the ceiling drywall) on one side for it to perform at its rated R-value. A wall or ceiling covering that has multiple leakage sites (such as 1 x 6 tongue and grove board ceilings) can not serve as an air barrier. Air-tight Thermal envelope assemblies (such as wall assemblies) shall be built to minimize air movement. Air movement can move unwanted heat and moisture through or into the assembly. Califomia When "High Quality Installation of Insulation" is inGuded as a feature in energy calculations for California, the installer must complete a CF-6R for each home. Verification of installation quality is required by a HERS Rater with current certification by a Califomia Energy Commission (CEC) approved Rater Provider. The HERS Rater must inspect using the CEC protocols and the HERS Rater must complete a CF-4R for each home. Builder.

I ----~ 1. Scope 1.1. This practice covers the installation of windows in residential buildings of no more than four (4) stories in height. 1.2. This practice applies to metal and non-metal framed windows when an integral mounting flange is employed for installation. 1.3. This practice covers the instafiation process from pre-installation procedures through post-installation procedures. It does not cover the fabrication or assembly of units whether such fabrication takes place in a factory or at the intended installation site. 1.4. This practice covers aspects of installation relating to the effectiveness and durability in service. Il does not cover aspects relating to the safety of the person installing the units. 1.5. This practice provides minimum requirements that will help to ensure the installation of windows in an effective manner. Actual conditions in buildings vary greatly, and in some cases substantial additional care and precaution will have to be taken. 1.6. This practice does not purport to address all of the safely problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whomever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

Residential Building -Any building used or intended primarity for a single or multiple family dwelling. 3.3. Mounting Flange - A fin projecting from the window frame parallel to the plane of the wall for fhe purpose of securing the frame to the structure. 4. Significance and Use 4.1. This practice recognizes that effectiveness and durability of installed units depend not only on the choice and quality of materials, design, adequacy of assembly, and support system, but also on their proper and workmanlike installation. 4.2. Improper installation of units may reduce their effectiveness, lead to excessive air, water and sound leakage, condensation, and may promote the deterioration of wall constructions, windows, doors, and their respective finishes. Additionally, improper installation of metal units may result in accelerated corrosion of metal frames, trim, anchors, fasteners, and finishes. 4.3. The application of this practice also requires a working knowledge of applicable Federal, State, and local codes and regulations, specifically, but not limited to required means of egress and requirements for safely glazing. Consult with local building codes prior to installation. 4.4. The application of this practice also requires a working knowledge of the tools, equipment, and methods necessary for the installation of windows. It further assumes familiarity with caulking and sealing and with glass handling procedures, painting where applicable, and an understanding of the fundamentals of residential construction that affect the installation of these units. 5. Procedure 5.1. Framing Requirements -The rough framed opening to receive the window shall be sufficiently larger in width and height than the actual frame dimensions of the window. To assure adequate clearance. the framer shall consult the manufacturer's literature for the recommended rough opening dimensions. The framing shall be plumb, square and level. (See Figure 1) 5.2. Protection from Dissimilar Materials 5.2.1. Aluminum products shall be isolated from dissimilar or corrosive materials with a nonconductive coating or sealant material. 5.2.2. All fasteners shall be corrosive resistant, in accordance with ASTM 6 633, 8 766, or 8 456. 5.3. Flashing Requirements -Proper Flashing and/or sealing is necessary as a secondary barrier to prevent water from entering the wall between the window frame and the adjacent wall materials. Flashing andlor an appropriate method of sealing shall be designed as a part of an overall weather- - resistive barrier system. Il is not the responsibility of the window manufacturer to design or recommend a flashing system appropriate to each job condition. Note -The responsibility for protecting any /lashing material horn damage caused by weather, other trades, or vandalism, and propedy integrating the flashing system into the weather-resistive barrier for the entire building, will be the responsibility of fire genera! contractor or his designated agent. 5.3.1. Penetration Flashing Material -Flashing material shall be barrier coated reinforced and shall provide four (4} hour minimum protection from water penetration when tested in accordance with ASTM D-779. Flashing material shall carry continuous identification. 5.4. Application 5.4.1. One of the two following methods shall be selected as the application to be followed. Once a method is selected, all procedures of that method shall be performed in the described sequence. Substitution of a procedure from one method to the other is not permitted. 5.4.1.1. Method A 5.4.1.1.1. A strip of approved flashing material should be at least nine inches wide. Flashiny shall be applied in a weatherboard fashion around the full perimeter of the opening. 5.4.1.1.2. Apply the first strip horizontally immediately below the sill, cut it suffciently long to~ extend past each side of the window, so that it projects beyond the vertical flashing to be applied later. (See Figure 2) 5.4.1.1.3. Fasten the top edge of the sill flashing to the framing, but do not fasten the lower edge, so the weather resistant building paper applied later may be slipped up and underneath the flashing in weatherboard fashion. (See Figure 2) 5.4.1.1.4. Apply a continuous seal io the backside (interior) of the sill mounting flange, (see Figure 3a). The window shall then be installed in accordance with Section 5.5 installation procedures. 5.4.1.1.5. Next, apply a continuous seal to the exposed mounting flange at the top (head) and sides Qambs) of the installed window. For mechanically joined frames, apply seal at corners the full length of the seam where mounting flanges meet. (See Figure 4a) 5.4.1.1.6. Starting at each jamb, embed the jamb flashing into the seal and fasten in place. Run this flashing beyond the sill flashing and above where the head flashing will intersect. (See Figure 4a) 5.4.1.1.7. Finally, embed the flashing into the sealant on the mounting flange at the window head. Cut this flashing sufficiently long so that it will extend beyond each jamb flashing. Fasten in place. (See Figure 5) 5.4.1.2. Method B 5.4.1.2.1. A strip of approved flashing material should be at least nine inches wide. Flashing shall be applied in a weatherboard fashion around the full perimeter of the opening. 5.4,1.2.2. Apply the first strip horizontally immediately below the sill, cut it sufficiently long to extend past each side of the window, so that it projects beyond the vertical flashing to be applied later. (See Figure 2) 5.4.1.2.3. Fasten the lop edge of the sill flashing to the fmming, but do not fasten the lower edge, so the weather resistant building paper applied later may be slipped up and underneath the flashing in weatherboard fashion. (See Figure 2) 5.4.1.2.4. Next, fasten strips of flashing at each vertical edge (jamb) of the opening. Run this flashing beyond the sill Flashing and above where the head flashing will intersect. (See Figure 3b) 5.4.1.2.5. Apply a continuous seal to the backside (interior) of the mounting flange near the outer edge or a continuous seal to the perimeter of the opening al a point to assure contact with the backside (interior) of the mounting flange. (See Figure 4b) Note -Caution shall be taken to avoid disrupting the continuous seat. 5.4.1.2.6. The window shall then be installed in accordance with Section 5.5 installation procedures. 5.4.1.2.7. For mechanically joined frames, apply seal at comers the full length of the seam where mounting Flanges meet. 5.4.12.8. Next, apply a continuous seal at the top (head) mounting flange and embed the bottom of the head flashing over the sealant and the mounting flange. Cut this flashing sufficiently long so that it will extend beyond each jamb flashing. Fasten in place. (See Figure 5) 5.5. Installation _ 5.5.1. Depending on the size and weight of the window, shim blocks may be required under the sill to maintain straight and level condition and to prevent rotation. Consult manufacturer's recommendations. 5.5.2. Shim and adjust the window as necessary to achieve a plumb, square and level condition, as well as an even reveal around the frame opening, securing it the full perimeter with the equivalent of 6d fasteners on a maximum 16-inch centers. Hinged and pivoted windows may require additional fasteners located near the hinge or pivot points. For certain windows it may be appropriate to fasten the head in a manner to allow for possible deflection. 5.5.3. In each direction from all corners there shall be a fastener within f 0 inches, but no closer than 3 inches, to prevent frame distortion or fracture of joint seals. 5.5.4. In all cases consult manufacturer's instructions for any special procedures or applications. Note - If any damage to window frame joint seals is observed dudng installation, if shall be repaired by the installer. 5.5.5. Where weather-resistant building paper, insulating board, or other materials by other trades may constitute the primary weather barrier behind the exterior waft finish (i.e. stucco, masonry, siding, etc.), Owner/General Contractor is responsible to ensure that the weather barrier is continuous by effectively sealing the material to the window frame. (See Figure 6) . Sealant Requirements 5.G.1. Sealing/caulking required between the window and the flashing can be accomplished with caulking conforming to AAMA 800, or use sealant recommended and approved by the sealant manufactures 5.6.2. Some exterior wall finishes require additional sealing between the perimeter of the window frame and adjacent finish wall material. Owner/General Contractor is responsible for identifying the need for any additional sealant which will be applied by others. Such sealant shall be electromeiric material, compatible with window framing and adjacent wall materials. (See Figure 6) Finish And Sealant Protection 5.7.1. Caution shall be used to avoid damage to windows during and after installation. Prior to installation, store windows in a near vertical position in a Gean area, free of circulating dirt or debris and protected from exposure to weather elements. 5.7.2. Field-applied protective coatings can damage window sealants and gaskets and are not recommended. Contact the window manufacturer before applying any such coatings. 5.7.3. Masking tapes shall not be used on window surfaces as they may cause damage when they are removed. 5.7.4. Stucco or concrete left to cure on frames and glass will damage these surfaces. Remove and clean all such materials from surfaces before any curing action takes place. 5.7.5. Glass and frame surfaces exposed to leaching water from new concrete or stucco shall be rinsed immediately with clear water to prevent permanent damage. 5.6 5.7 Fig. 4a.

Two of the azeas hit hardest by this drought are the Inland Empire and Northern San Diego County, both within my district. I welcome these efforts by the Governor to expedite the release of previously approved bond funds to local districts to aid in conservation, recycling,. and groundwater storage efforts," said Assemblyman Jeffries. Much of the recent and future population growth for California is in the Inland Empire, and the stress of the water shortages is already being felt. As water districts are forced to consider the long-term stability of the local water supply, the drought conditions have already adversely impacted the ability of new businesses and homes to be built in Riverside County. San Diego County's critical agriculture industry has also already been hard hit with increased water rates and a mandatory 30% cut in agricultural water usage. Jeffries commented, "as avocado, citrus, and grape growers are forced to stop farming by these drought restrictions, we will see these orchazds and vineyards replaced by homes and other developments that will only use more water. We need to recognize that we are all in this water shortage together, and must work cooperatively to increase the supply of water in California so that we can preserve our economy and our way of life." "This past year I have worked with good people from both the private and public sector in Sacramento; attempting to develop statewide solutions on behalf of everyone. Unfortunately a small number of powerful hazd-line environmentalists have derailed those negotiations, apparently preferring that we all move into grass huts or move out of the state". Jeffries believes that the first step in addressing the water challenge is reasonable conservation efforts at the local level, followed with the prompt release of previously approved state water bond proceeds so that local water agencies can improve water treatment facilities and enhance ground water resources. He hopes that the Governor's executive order will also help motivate the State Department of Water Resources to become a more aggressive partner in solving these problems. "I have heard an incredible amount of concerns indicating that DWR has been dragging its feet when it comes to approving bond funding for badly local water projects. But while much of the water shortages we suffer are because of the lack of rain in recent yeazs, man-made regulatory rules have also contributed significantly to the drought. The 800 Ib gorilla remains the.condition of the Delta and the need for new conveyance system azound the Delta that satisfies the needs of the human population as well as the fish. Both projects need to get underway immediately if we aze serious about our long term water supply," stated the Assemblyman. Assemblyman Jeffries has been very vocal about the need for immediate action on water conservation, recycling, conveyance and new storage. He has repeatedly led the way on the Assembly floor in calling for the Legislature to stop attempting to micro-manage local water providers and start addressing the statewide needs. Jeffries served a total of nearly 16 years on the Board of Directors of the Western Municipal Water District and Elsinore Valley MWD, and is a member of the Republican Working Group on Water Storage. ### Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries represents Western Riverside County and Northern San Diego County, including the communities oJJurupa, Riverside, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Murrieta, Temecula, Fallbrook, Bonsall, Yal[ey Center, and Ju/ion.

We urge you to adopt Ordinance 859 and set similar standards as in EMWD's Ord. 72.23. They are both important measures your city can take to reduce water demands associated with outdoor landscapes. The county's ordinance resulted from the dose collaboration with water agencies and other stakeholders. One of the ordinance's goals is to provide a level of consistency that builders would find useful to ensure compliance throughout the county. This consistency would help them minimize having to °reinvent the wheel" for each municipal jurisdiction. Similady, planning departments would be able to move projects through more quickly if these guidelines were more widely understood and followed. And the beauty of the ordinance is that, although climate zones vary through Riverside County, the details of plant selection, etc. encourage local creativity that can help brand your city more positively. hfai(in; ;IA<trea:r Post O~cc 13ox 5300 Perris.

METROPOLITAN BOARD DECLARES WATER SUPPLY ALERT THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO HELP SUSTAIN RESERVES Io wake of Gov. Schwarzenegger's drought proclamation, MWD board asks local water agencies, retailers to adopt, enforce water-saving ordinances, restrictions Less than a week after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a drought statewide, Metropolitan Water District's Boazd of Directors today ramped up the water conservation call. throughout its six-county service area by declaring a Water Supply Alert in Southern California. To help preserve the region's water storage reserves, Metropolitan's board urged cities, counties, local public water agencies and retailers to achieve extraordinary conservation by adopting and enforcing drought ordinances, accelerating public outreach and messaging, and developing additional local supplies. "In declaring this Water Supply Alert, we are confident that consumers and businesses throughout the Southland will take additional steps to reduce water use and eliminate waste," said Metropolitan boazd Chairman Timothy F. Brick. "In the past, residents have responded to a call for action. We are depending on their help again to stave off the need to allocate supplies in the future," Brick said. Metropolitan General Manager Jeff ICightlinger said the board's acceleration of the regional water-saving call is aimed at increasing awareness of the Southland's critical supply conditions and the immediate need for conservation. Metropolitan's main sources of imported supplies are facing unprecedented challenges because of record dry conditions for eight of the last nine years along the Colorado River and deteriorating environmental conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, he noted. Since 2003, Metropolitan's Colorado River supplies have been diminished by as much as half after California reduced its use of river water because of drought. The district's State Water Project supplies from Northern California have been cut by nearly 30 percent this year because of dry conditions and court-0rdered pumping restrictions in the Delta to protect endangered fish. more..... -2- To meet current water demands, Metropolitan and its member agencies are withdrawing supplies from surface and groundwater storage, leaving the region's reserves vulnerable to continued low-levels of imported water and emergencies, such as a major earthquake. Over the pasftwo years, Metropolitan has drawn down its stored dry-year reserves by nearly half. "This is a serious situation," ICightlinger said "The need for conservation is very real, particularly with the governor's drought announcement last Wednesday. Now that the drought is official, consumers need to realize that water rationing looms should voluntary water-saving efforts not prove enough, particulazly if we faced shortages that compelled our boazd to implement the district's recently adopted supply allocation plan. "But just as real as the drought is, so too are the possibilities we can avoid rationing. We have all the tools for reducing water use. Now we have more incentive," Kightlinger said. While several cities and water agencies in Southern California are already implementing local drought ordinances, Metropolitan's Water Supply Alert resolution encourages the remaining entities to institute or develop as soon as possible their own ordinances and restrictions. Measures that could be incorporated into local drought ordinances include restrictions on the hours of watering outdoors, where up to 70 percent of water is used; prohibitions on landscape imgation runoff; tiered rate structures that promote conservation; provisions for water- efficient landscapes in new construction and landscape retrofits; and hotlines and other mechanisms for the public to report wasteful water practices. If the call for immediate conservation successfully motivates residents and businesses to save water, Metropolitan estimates the demand for imported supplies could reduce by about 200,000 acre-feet of water over the next 12 months. (An acre-foot is nearly 326,000 gallons, about the amount used by two typical Southland families in and around their homes in a year.) "There are so many small things we can all do that collectively could save the region the needed water that can help us withstand this round of shortages," Brick said. "A good place to look for water-saving tips and rebates is our Web site, bewaterwise.com, which has become a leading destination for conservation information."

To eliminate water waste from overspray and/or runoff; and F. To promote water conservation through public awareness. 17.32.020 DEFINITIONS. "Allowable percentage" means allowable percentage for determining the maximum allowable water budget is 0.8. This represents a factor including consideration of an average landscape coefficient and irrigation efficiency. "Applied water" means the portion of water supplied by the irrigation system to the landscape. "Active recreational use" means areas of active play or recreation such as sport fields, school yards, picnic grounds, or other areas of intense foot traffic that provide public benefit. "Amendment" means additions to the soil, such as compost, leaf mold, peat moss, or ground bark, which improves aeration and drainage of clay soils and helps hold water in sandy soils. "Application rate" means the depth of water applied to a given area in one hour, usually measured in inches per hour. "Backflow prevention device" means a safety device used to prevent pollution or contamination of the water supply due to the reverse flow of water from the irrigation system. "Check valve" or "anti-drain valve" means a valve located under a sprinkler head to hold water in the system to prevent drainage from sprinkler heads when the system is off. "Distribution uniformity" means a measure of how evenly water is applied over an area "Emitter" means drip irrigation emission device that delivers water slowly from the system to the plant measured as gallons per hour. "Established landscape" means the point at which plants in the landscape have developed significant root growth into the site. Typically, most plants are established after one or two years of growth. "Establishment period" means, for purposes of this chapter, the first year after installing the plants in the landscape. The actual establishment period varies depending upon the plant species, the development of the plant's root system, soil conditions, and other environmental factors. "Estimate applied water use" means the portion of the Estimated Total Water Use that is derived from applied water. "Estimated total water use" means the annual total amount of water estimated to be needed to keep the plants in the landscaped area healthy. It is based upon such factors as the local evapotranspiration rate, the size of the landscaped area, the types of plants, and the efficiency of the irrigation system. "ET adjustment factor" means a factor of 0.8 that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, it adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency. "Evapotranspiration" means the quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil and other surfaces, and transpired by plants during a specific time. "Flow rate" means the rate at which water flows through pipe fittings, valves, and emission devices. "Hardscape" means any durable surface material (pervious and nonpervious). "Hydrozone" means a portion of the landscape area having plants with similar water needs-that are served by a valve or set of valves with the same irrigation schedule. A hydrozone may also be nonirrigated, for example, a naturalized area. "Irrigation efficiency" means the measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied. "Landscape coefficient" means the functional equivalent of a crop coefficient in agriculture. When multiplied times ETo, it estimates the amount of water required to maintain landscape plants in good condition. "Landscaped area" means the entire parcel less the building pad, driveways, and nonirrigated portions of parking lots, hardscapes -such as decks and patios, and other pervious or nonpervious areas. "Landscape irrigation audit" means a process to perform site inspections, evaluate irrigation systems, and develop efficient irrigation schedules. "Land use entitlement" means any legislative, discretionary or quasi-judicial review that requires City approval. "Lateral line" means the water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters or sprinklers from the main line. "Low volume irrigation" means any irrigation system with a flow rate equal to or less than 0.75 inches per hour, including drip irrigation, subsurtace drip, micro-sprinklers and similar irrigation type. "Main line" means the pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water source to the lateral lines. Mature landscape. See "Established landscape." "Maximum allowable water budget" means for design purposes, the upper limit of annual water use for the established landscaped area. It is based upon the area's evapotranspiration, the ET Adjustment Factor, and the size of the landscaped area. "Microclimate" means the climate of a small, specific area that may contrast with the climate of the overall landscape area due to wind, sun exposure, plant density, proximity to reflective surfaces, etc. "Moisture-sensing device" means a device that measures the amount of moisture in the soil. "Mulch" means any organic material such as leaves, bark or straw left loose and applied to the soil surtace to reduce evaporation and suppressing weeds. "Operating pressure" means the pressure at which an irrigation system is designed by the manufacture to operate (static pressure minus pressure losses). This is usually indicated at the base or nozzle of a sprinkler. "Overspray" means when sprinklers deliver water beyond the landscaped area, wetting pavements, walks, structures, or other nonlandscaped areas. "Plant factor" means a factor that, in combination with irrigation efficiency, when multiplied by reference evapotranspiration, estimates the amount of water used by plants. "Percolation" means the movement of water through the soil. "Potable water" means water which is meant for human consumption. "Precipitation rate" means the rate at which water is applied, usually expressed in inches per hour. "Pressure compensation bubbler" means an irrigation emitter useful for watering trees and shrubs with water basins; produces a reduced flow of water that bubbles on the soil. "Quick coupling system" means a sprinkler system which uses permanently installed valves and sprinklers that can be moved from valve to valve.
