BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Jefferson Avenue StudyArea is located north of Rancho California Road, west of Interstate 15, east of Diaz Road/Murrieta Creek and south of Cherry Street. The Study Area is approximately 560 acres and consists primarily of a mix of developed commercial property, and property designated as conservation/open space (Murrieta Creek). At one time, the Jefferson Avenue Study Area was vibrant and bustling with activity — the area was once an important, locally-serving community destination along historic route Highway 395 which was the primary vehicular thoroughfare through the area prior to the construction of Interstate 15. Following the incorporation of the City in 1989, the area continued to develop under typical Post-World War II development patterns: an eclectic mix of auto-oriented light industrial, office, strip-commercial and retail uses serving the local community. Although the businesses within the Study Area continue to remain as an economically-vital part of the city, Jefferson Avenue has been overshadowed by new development activity taking place at the Promenade Mall and Old Town. As a result, it was determined that enhancing the study area's economic assets would be critical to the area's long term future. On January 1, 2011, in anticipation of the Jefferson Avenue planning effort, the City of Temecula City Council established the Jefferson Avenue City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee. The City Council appointed Mayor Ron Roberts and Council Member Comerchero to this subcommittee. The Ad Hoc Subcommittee will assess future opportunities for the area and provide policy direction to facilitate the aesthetic and economic revitalization of the Jefferson Avenue area through a comprehensive Specific Plan. The Jefferson Avenue City Council Ad Hoc Committee met on July 25, 2011 and directed Planning staff to move forward with the visioning workshops and public engagement process. To assist the City with the public outreach portion of the planning effort, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) selected the Jefferson Avenue Study Area Visioning Process as a"demonstration project," and awarded the City grant funding through their Compass Blueprint program. The city and SCAG collaboratively selected MIG, Inc. as the planning consulting firm to assist city staff with the public outreach and visioning workshops for the Jefferson Avenue Study Area. The city also hired Inland Planning + Design to assist with the presentation of technical planning topics at the public workshops. The goal of the public workshops was to develop a publicly- driven, community based vision for the Jefferson Avenue Study Area, which will drive the revitalization and redevelopment of the area in the future. R:\CSCAGEND12012\08132012 Jefferson Avenue Study Area.doc VISIONING PROCESS SUMMARY The public participation process included a series of six community workshops held over a nine- month period, as well as multiple stakeholder interviews, and technical analyses from City staff and consultants. The six pubic visioning workshops were held with business owners, property owners, and other interested community members, to develop a community-based vision for the study area's long term future. The task at hand was to envision the study area's development potential 30 years from now. To date, Planning Staff has completed the public visioning workshop series for the Jefferson Avenue Study Area. The visioning workshop dates and topics are outlined below: Visioning Workshop 1 October 18, 2011 Existing Conditions, Future Vision, O ortunities and Challen es Visioning Workshop 2 December 6, 2011 Urban Design and Placemaking Visioning Workshop 3 February 2, 2012 Identifying Conceptual Districts within the Stud Area Visioning Workshop 4 April 5, 2012 Transportation and Complete Streets Visioning Workshop 5 June 14, 2012 Market Analysis and Development Scenarios Visioning Workshop 6 July 19, 2012 Visioning Policy Recommendations and Case Studies To supplement the information in this staff report, a brief presentation will be provided to summarize the feedback received from the public at these visioning workshops. VISIONING RECOMMENDATIONS AND GOALS Staff and the consultant team have reviewed the feedback received from the workshop attendees over the course of the public visioning workshops and identified eight recommendations and goals that will guide the future vision. The eight recommendations and goals will provide the structure and policy foundation for the development of a future Specific Plan for the study area. , The eight recommendations for the study area are as follows: Recommendation Goal Recommendation 1: Goal 1: Sfrengthen Economic Deve%pment Spark the revitalization of the area through comprehensive economic development strategies that support a sustainable fiscal foundation for the future.

BACKGROUND: The Old Town Temecula Community Theater's Eighth Season will be a cultural tourism excursion which can all be experienced from the comfort of one's favorite Temecula Theater seat. Our Theater's goals are to entertain, engage, and educate through the arts by providing performance opportunities for the community to experience and learn from a variety of performers representing a wide range of artistic disciplines and genres. Temecula Presents is very fortunate to continue to bring high-end, sought-after companies to the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. Temecula is swiftly becoming a recognized center for the cultural arts of music, dance, song, and theater. � Volunteer Ushers have dedicated over 34,000 hours of service since our opening curtain in 2005. They greet patrons warmly and help them not only to their seats, but also help them be comfortable and safe during the performance. Patrons often have questions about upcoming performances or questions about what to do or where to go after the performance. Ushers are knowledgable of the surrounding restaurants and activities. They serve as our Cultural Ambassadors within the community knowledgeable about performances at the Theater and other City events. On the rare occasion when there is an emergency,our seasoned Volunteers spring to action to resolve the situation in a calm manner. Last December during a power outage, our Ushers were able to help patrons leave the building safely. Our 2012-2013 Season Brochure ("All The World Is A Stage") has a new design that includes our Theater's Resident Companies, in addition to the 2012-2013 Temecula Presents Season with so many performances all under one roof. There is a concerted effort to promote and sell performances by the Resident Companies: Fine Arts Network, Temecula Valley Players, and the Southwest Women's Chorus. Temecula Presents' Classical Music Series (in association with the California Chamber Orchestra), Cabaret Orchestra / Big Band Series (in association with OnStage Musicals), Friday Night Groove Series and Dance Series are all featured in the Brochure bringing the finest entertainment from around the country and the world. Each Series has an Expert Cultural Ambassador inviting you to attend these excellent performances that are first-rate, affordable, and so close to home. DanceXchange debuted in July of 2012 in our Theater's newly created Courtyard Stage. Originally launched in December of 2009 as Dance Moves with a former producer, we have rebranded this community-based forum with the enthusiasm and creativity of Lori Craig Torok. The monthly showcase takes place every third Tuesday of the month to celebrate local dance for just $5. We are also happy to launch a new effort at The Merc with both Comedy and Cabaret on a monthly basis. The Old Town Temecula Community Theater has become a world-class presenter of contemporary programming by strengthening our cultural connections throughout the community. We have also engaged with social media and initiated promotional strategies targeted to inspire the next generation of loyal arts patrons. Temecula's Theater has something for everyone and we look forward to sharing these entertaining escapes with the entire community along with their friends and families.
