Plot Plan #2 Sam Reed, Senior Planner, presented staff's report on the revised permit for Plot Plan 11222 (Palm Plaza). He stated that the Plan was approved by the County of Riverside for Bedford Properties in November, 1989. The applicant is Minutes070290 - 1 - 07111/~0 Planning Commission Minutes July 2. 1990 experiencing the need to reconfigure some of the buildings to add approximately 16,000 square feet (a 4% increase), which results in the use of an area originally designated for parking. Mr. Reed noted that the changes involved Building 1, which had been an area designated for parking and which was now a proposed furniture store which would use shared parking with the theater. He also stated that in buildings 2 through 9, there had originally been plans for two drive-through fast food chains; however, these were now planned for two drive- through Savings and Loans. Mr. Reed pointed out that there would be no change in the number and location of driveways and that there were only slight changes to the elevations of the plan, which would prove to be beneficial to the project. Mr. Reed also stated that the developer would be putting in the Apricot Road overpass as a mitigation measure. Staff recommended approval of the revisions as submitted. Greg Erickson, Project Manager for Palm Plaza, representing Bedford Properties, 28765 Single Oak Drive, suite 200, Temecula, addressed the Commission on the history of the project and the need for the revisions as submitted. Mr. Erickson stated that the project began approximately 2 1/2 years ago when they began looking for prospective tenants. He stated that the developer was aware that traffic would be their important concern and petitioned the County to go to 134 right-of-way on Ynez Road, which is consistent with what was later approved in the Mello-Roos district, instead of the standard 100. Mr. Erickson said that although Apricot Road does not exist at this time, the developer recognized need for another freeway loop ramps which will be put in as part of the Mello-Roos. Mr. Erickson stated that the theater and furniture store would utilize shared parking; however the theaters' peak hours would be during a time which the furniture store would be closed. He stated that with the revisions they still had a 5.7% per 1,000 parking percentage which was satisfactory. Mr. Erickson also advised the Commission that, although the environmental report staff prepared showed the site was in a flood control district, the Flood Control District Board has declared that it is not in a flood plain however, the maps do not reflect that information as of yet. Commissioner Ford asked Mr. Erickson if Apricot Road was dedicated easement. Mr. Erickson said that, although it was not at this time, Bedford was prepared to offer it for dedication at any time. He also advised that Apricot Road would be one of the first projects built under the Mello-Roos M~nutes070290 -2- 07/! !/~0 Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 1990 and that the City would purchase the land at fair market value. Commissioner Ford asked if the furniture store would have any restrictions on hours of operation and, if not, he would like to see that condition. The Commission as a whole expressed concern regarding the traffic mitigation measures, the completion of all 'road improvements prior to occupancy, and the overall impact the project would have on the traffic problems. Commissioner Hoagland suggested staff include a copy of traffic studies in the package so that the Commission could review it along with the other pertinent information. Commissioner Hoagland stated that he felt the increase in the square footage will impact the center, which is already having a negative effect on traffic. Mr. Erickson stated that he was very surprised at all the attention the traffic situation was getting. He commented that Bedford has made strong efforts to elevate potential traffic problems by installing traffic signals and widening Ynez Road. He stated that they have met all of the county requirements for the level of service to be provided. He also commented that if a project increase is less than 5% there is no traffic impact. Commissioner Chiniaeff questioned Mr. Erickson whether Bedford would be willing to tie the building expansion to the construction of Apricot Road. Mr. Erickson said that he feels that the building has no relationship to improvements of Apricot Road. Commissioner Hoagland made a motion recommendation for a building expansion. lack of a second. to reject Staff's Motion failed due to It was moved by Commissioner Blair, seconded by Commissioner Ford to approve the modification of the Plot Plan subject to a condition that the Apricot overcrossing land be dedicated to the City at no cost and that improvements to Ynez Road be completed. Assistant City Attorney John Cavanaugh suggested that the Commission direct staff to look into whether or not the addition of square footage to the project would have a negative impact on traffic and bring these findings back to Minutes070290 -3- 071111~0 Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 1990 the Commission for review and at that time the Commission could make a decision as to whether or not to approve the additional square footage. After discussion the motion and second were withdrawn. Commissioner Ford moved to refer the item back to Staff to review the traffic impact and provide a full report at the next scheduled meeting. Commissioner Hoagland seconded the motion which carried by the following roll call vote. AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Blair, Ford, Hoagland, Chiniaeff NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Fahey 4. Appeal #4, Tract 24232 4.1 Principal Planner Gary Thornbill reported that owner and developer, Dix Development, wishes to appeal Condition No. 27, Items 1 and 3, of the Conditions of Approval, on Tentative Tract 24232. Condition No. 27 relates to the Stephens' Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Habitat Conservation Plan. Mr. Thornhill stated that since the original approval of this tract, the project has been redesigned to avoid the area in question and the developer is no longer proposing to disturb this area. Commissioner Ford clarified with staff that they, as well as the City Attorney, believed that there would be no disturbance or taking of this animal and that they had received written approval by The Fish and Wildlife Service. Mr. Thornhill confirmed this and referred to the letter in the report from Dr. O'Farrell. He stated that the developer had re-routed a road to prevent disturbing the area in question. Gary Dix, Dix Development, 22865 Lake Forest Drive, E1 Toro, addressed the Commission on the history of the project. He stated that at the beginning of the development, the county would not allow them to pull a grading permit until they performed a study on the area to see if the SKR existed there. Dix Development hired an unlicensed biologist to determine if there were any of the endangered species located on the site. The biologist found some holes, so Minutes070290 -4- 07/11190 Planning Commission Minutes July 2. 1990 the developer pursued the matter further with the Fish and Wildlife Service and Dr. O'Farrell. It was Dr. O'Farrell's conclusion that there was no existence of the SKR and there never had been on this particular site. Commissioner Hoagland moved to follow staff's recommendation and waive Condition of Approval No. 27, Items 1 and 3, of Tentative Tract 24232. Commissioner Blair seconded the motion which carried by the following vote. AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Blair, Ford, Hoagland, Chiniaeff NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Fahey PLANNING DIRECTOR REPORT 5. Old Town Historic Preservation Ordinance Ross Geller requested the Commission to entertain public comment to hear a matter that had just been brought to his attention regarding the Old Town Historic District. Mr. Cavanaugh stated that the Commission could not discuss an item that was not on the agenda; however, they could hear the public comment. Greg Davis, 31075 Camino Del Este, Temecula said he came to the Commission for direction regarding the installation of curbs and gutters on a project in Old Town Temecula. Mr. Davis stated that he has county approval to install concrete curbs and gutters on the project; however, that Historical Review Committee has established asphalt curbs and gutters for use in the Old Town area. Mr. Cavanaugh directed staff to work with the individual to see that the item was properly addressed on the next agenda. Mr. Davis stated that the issue was holding up the opening of his store. Commissioner Hoagland made a motion to have staff recommend to City Council that the Commission be appointed as the Historical Review Committee for Old Town Temecula, which he later withdrew. Mr. Cavanaugh suggested that the Commission direct staff to Minutes070290 -5- 07111/90 Plannin~ Commission Minutes July 2. 1990 resolve the issue with the individual. Commissioner Ford motioned that staff work this issue out on an administrative level. Commissioner Blair seconded the motion which carried by the following vote.

Project Information Request Filed: Representative: Proposal: Location: Zoning: Area Plan: Surrounding Zoning: Surrounding Land Uses: Project Statistics: June 28, 1990 Engineering Ventures To add four tennis courts to an existing recreational area (Plot Plan 8052) for Meadowview Community Association. The northerly terminus of Avenida Verde R-5, Open Area combining Zone-Residential Developments 1/2 Acre Minimum North: R-A-l/2, Residential Agricultural, 1/2 Acre Minimum Lot size South: R-A-l/2 East: R-A-1/2 West: R-A-l/2 North: Vacant South: Single family residential East: Vacant West: Vacant The proposed tennis courts will add 36,q00 square feet of pavement to a currently vacant, unimproved portion of the parcel. Grading will involve q,q00 cubic yards of cut and 5q0 cubic yards of fill. Project Background The site encompasses approximately 5 acres and is Lot 260 of Tract 3929. The lot contains a manager's apartment, a 98 space parking lot, a club house, a swimming pool, and four existing tennis courts for the use of the residents of Tract 3929, known as Meadowview Community. The facilities on Lot 260 were approved in Plot Plan 8052. Area Setting Most of the site is vacant and abuts vacant land north, east, and west of the site. The terrain is gently rolling. A natural water course traverses the site north of the existing and proposed improvements. The location of the proposed tennis courts does not drain onto any adjacent properties. Analysis The chief impact of the proposed tennis courts will be the removal of 3,860 cubic yards of earth from the site. The notes on the preliminary grading plan indicate that no cut or fill slopes will be steeper than 2:1. Slopes higher than three feet will be planted with erosion resistant vegetation and an irrigation system will be installed. Cut and fill slopes greater than 15 feet in height will be planted with shrubs and/or trees in addition to grass or ground cover. All drainage courses on- site will continue to function. Brow ditches along the top of all cut slopes will provide adequate drainage to accommodate 100 year storm flows. The grading notes adequately address the issues of slope stability and drainage. No additional traffic will be generated by the project. The proposal involves only the addition of hardscape and landscaping to the site and will not significantly change the original approval or impact adjacent properties. ITEM NO. fl.

Those items have received additional review and associated materials have been attached to this report. This commercial project was originally approved by Riverside County on November 6, 1989. It consisted of a 413,228 square foot commercial project on a 41 acre site. The major anchor tenant for the site is a Mervyn's Department Store, which is now under construction. The project is located at the Southwest corner of Winchester and Ynez Roads. Three driveways service the center from Ynez Road. The project has 1-15 frontage. which plays a major role in the project design and marketing strategy. The site is currently being graded under permit from Riverside County. The grading plan is based on the originally approved plot plan. Differences between the approved plot plan and proposed revised permit do not affect the grading substantially. The revised permit application seeks approval for an additional 12,734 square foot building which the applicant has indicated will be a furniture showroom. Construction of that building will impact the parking allocation both in terms of creating additional demand for parking and losing parking spaces to construct the building. The applicant has requested that the parking allocation be reviewed pursuant to provisions of Ordinance No. 348 titled "Request for Special Review of Parking". A Parking analysis is contained in this report as is the justification provided by the applicant. Additionally, the developer seeks shifts in building configurations which adds approximately 3,213 square feet (0.8% increase exclusive of the furniture showroom)of space to the site. The total proposed increase is 15,947 square feet of additional retail area. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS An initial study was conducted for this project and has been attached for review. Staff identified the following imports as potentially significant: 1. Location of the project within 100 year flood zone boundaries. 2. Traffic impacts associated with the entire development as revised and expanded. -2- Staff concluded that with proper health and safety mitigations. the project was not likely to create significant or unavoidable impacts, The initial study and Notice of Determination have been attached which describe potential harmful effects and mitigation measures. The Planning Staff is recommending adoption of a Negative Declaration for the project, BUILDING CONFIGURATION CHANGES Buildincl No.'s 10 throuqh 22 This major building segment backs up to Interstate 15 and is comprised primarily of the Mervyn's Department Store, a theatre complex, a supermarket/warehouse store, a Pier 1 Store and a mix of smaller shops and restaurants. A net gain of 1,280 square feet would be realized in this building grouping if the revised permit application is approved. The only significant footprint change is the shift in the theatre building which improves its frontage on Interstate 15. The change in elevations for building No. 's 10, 11, 17, and 22 have not been described or depicted in the application. Buildin.el No. I This 12,734 square foot building constitutes the bulk of the proposed changes. It replaces area previously allocated for parking. The architecture is acceptable and compatible with the rest of the center. The additional square footage constitutes approximately a 4% increase of building area for the project. Staff finds the proposed increase acceptable and without significant impact. The executive traffic summary prepared in July, 1990, concluded that approximately 7 peak hour trips would be added as a result of this building. Buildinc~ No.~s 2 through 9 This building grouping lies along Ynez Road. It is comprised of a K-Mart, two savings and loans, two restaurants {not drive-thru's) and three small commercial buildings. The approved site plan did have two drive-thru restaurants, but those are no longer part of the application. A net gain of 2,344 square feet would be realized for this building grouping if the revised permit is approved. The proposed increase is not significant. The executive traffic study concludes that this general increase would result in approximately 8.4 additional peak hour trips. Building No.'s 23 throuclh 27 This centrally located building grouping is proposed for a total 39 square foot reduction in space. It is comprised of mostly small merchant shops and a Music Plus audio/video store. The proposed changes to this section of the site plan are not significant. CIRCULATION Circulation on-site is adequate. Three driveways service the project from Ynez Road. One driveway is right-in, right-out only. The central major driveway has 2 lanes turning in, and 3 lanes turning out, the third most southerly driveway also has a left turn pocket from Ynez; all controlled through a traffic signal the developer is required to construct. The traffic signal should provide ample left hand turn opportunity into the most southerly driveway. -3- Two additional traffic signals have been required to be constructed on Winchester Road prior to the project opening, although not at the developer's direct expense. Improvements to both sides of Ynez Road will be constructed at the applicants expense rather than through the area assessment district. The traffic study was reviewed and accepted as adequate by the Engineering Department. Mitigation measures arising from the impacts of this project are attached in the Conditions of Approval. An executive traffic summary was submitted July 10, 1990. It concluded that additional proposed building area constituted negligible peak hour impact. It further pointed out that the study had been predicated on a total site build-out of approximately 26,000 square feet more than now proposed. PARKING ANALYSIS On May 4, 1990, the applicant submitted a Request for Special Review of Parking (see attached information dated May 4). Ordinance No. 348 allows for shared use of facilities when it can reasonably be projected that parking needs will occur at different times of the day. The theatre use would occur primarily at night and requires space for 627 cars. 50% of those spaces would be equivalent to 314 required spaces, which is the permitted maximum parking reduction allowed by the code. The furniture store is primarily a day use. As detailed in the request, the parking reduction appears reasonable. CONSISTENCY WITH THE SOUTHWEST AREA COMMUNITY PLAN The Southwest Area Community Plan (SWAP) has been adopted as a policy guide for land use decisions by the City Council. This project is consistent with the land use designation suggested by the plan. The project is consistent with the Goals contained in SWAP, with the exception of Goal E, which suggests that open space be retained in areas subject to seismic impacts (liquefaction) and flooding. The original Plot Plan No. 11222 has been previously approved, however, and the site is most appropriately utilized in a commercial capacity given its proximity to major roads and the freeway. The project is basically consistent with the Scenic Highway policies contained in SWAP, in terms of design, use, and setbacks. PROBABLE CONSISTENCY WITH THE FUTURE GENERAL PLAN Due to the level of consistency that this project maintains with SWAP Goals and Policies, and based on previous determinations made for Plot Plan No. 11222 by the County of Riverside, Staff finds that Plot Plan No. 2, a revised permit for Plot Plan No. 11222, is likely to be consistent with the City's Future General Plan when it is adopted by the City of Temecula. FINDINGS AND SUPPORTING FACTS 1. Findinq The site for the proposed use is suitable in size to accommodate the proposed project. -4- Facts in Support of Findinq Ae Adequate area is provided for all proposed structures. Adequate parking is also provided. Landscaping on site exceeds Ordinance No. 348 requirements in terms of required percentages.

BEDFORD PROPERTIES May 4, 1990 Mr. Sam Reed Planning Department CITY OF TEMECULA 43172 Business Park Drive Temecula, CA 92390 SUBJECT: REVISED PERMIT CITY PP #2, PALM Dear Sam: Thank you for taking the time to meet with me this morning. We have an application and fee paid for Plot Plan #2. However, based on our conversation, we are now requesting an alternate program for parking in accordance with Ordinance #348. The specific portion of the alternate program is the shared parking section. Under this section, we can request up to a 50% reduction in requirements based on night and day uses. - Nighttime use is a 29,650 sq. ft., 1880 seat cinema requiring 627 cars (1/3 seats). - Daytime use is a home furnishing retail user (Interior Surroundings) for 13,812 sq. ft. - Overall center parking is 2408 stalls, 2,495 are required. The center is 87 cars short or 3.5% overall. Based on the 50% reduction of the cinema requirement to 313.5 cars, the center would exceed the overall parking required by 226.5 cars. The 226.5 excess parking figure is computed as follows: 50% reduction of cinema adds 313.5 cars to the 2,408 spaces provided to 2,721.5 cars. Subtracting the parking required of 2,495 from 2,721.5 leaves 226.5 excess spaces. The above shared parking analysis closely matches the parking assessment provided by Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers dated April 20, 1990. In their report, they determined that the shopping center, with the addition of Building 1, would still have 250 excess parking stalls. Bedford Properties, Inc.

Box 9016 Temecula, CA 92390-0736 PHILIP M. LINSC03-1', P.E JACK M. GREENSPAN, P.E. WILLIAM A. LAW, P.E PAUL W. WILKINSON, P.E LEON D. WARD, P.E DONALD W. BARKER, P.E. Subject: Palm Plaza Assessment, Temecula, California Dear Greg: Per your request we have prepared the following assessment of the parking needs for the 430,000 square foot Palm Plaza project, located in the southeast quadrant of 1-15/ Winchester Road in Temecula. The project is proposing to provide 2,408 parking spaces. You indicated that the parking calculations prepared by others for your project did not take into account the characteristics of specific project land uses. You are correct in assuming that theaters complement retail uses, not compound the parking demand, as outlined below. SHARED PARKING CONCEPT A shared use parking demand analysis was performed by time-of-day for weekdays and Saturday. The shared parking concept considers the fact that in a multiple-use environment, not all of the land uses experience their peak parking characteristics at the same time. For example, planned retail uses traditionally have daytime parking peaks, while theater and restaurant uses generally peak during the evening hours. Rather than simply adding the peak parking need of each land use, as is usually done in a typical code parking computation, the demand generated by each use has realistic demand pattern which illustrates the most probable number of parking spaces needed to support the planned mix of uses throughout the day. The Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Shared Parking* hourly demand factors represent a methodology for determining parking need which takes into account differing demand patterns as they occur in real operations. The extent of shared parking depends on the type, size and character of the land uses involved, as well as other factors such as location, surrounding land uses, social/economic environment, and availability of alternative modes of transportation. *Shared Parking:; the Urban Land Institute; Washington.

ULI shows that the theaters are at 70% of the maximum parking demand between 1:00 and 6:00 PM, every day of the week. This does not seem reasonable and is not supported by local studies. MIXED-USE CONCEPT The mixed use parking concept considers the fact that when two or more complimentary land uses are located close to one another (i.e. within walking distance) they ten to support one another. Persons patronizing one !and use may also patronize a second out of convenience without generating any additional parking demand. Consider the example of a hotel located adjacent to a retail/restaurant development. ULI studies of this situation show that greater than 75 percent of the hotel guests are likely to patronize the adjacent retail/restaurant uses during their hotel stay with out creating any additional parking demand. The mixed-use parking effects for the Palm Plaza project are considered to be potentially significant between the theater or restaurant and the smaller retail shops. However, the exact magnitude of these effects is hard to determine without very specific and detailed research. The effects of mixed-use parking demands have not been included in this analysis with the intention of generating a conservative estimate of the peak parking demand. PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS The parking demand analysis is based on the following assumptions: 1) The land uses consist of the uses outlined on the Site Plan prepared by SGPA dated April 5, 1990. 2) Parking demand was derived using a "shared use" analysis. 3) The parking demand rates are from ULI and ITE, without adjustment. 4) The accumulation curves are based on data derived by the ULI, however, the theater accumulation percentages have been modified to better reflect LLG's experience on similar projects and the specific uses of this project. Bedford Properties April 20, 1990 page three Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers 5) The project will experience a "mixed-use" parking demand to some degree. However, mixed-use characteristics were not accounted for in this analysis in order to obtain a conservative parking demand estimate. The enclosed Tables 1 and 2 show the gross parking demand for each individual planned land use for a weekday or Saturday, respectively. The number of spaces shown in the right-hand column reflects the cumulative parking demand by time-of-day for both weekdays and Saturdays. Table 3 contains the hourly accumulation percentages used to calculate peak demand. The following paragraphs summarize the parking demand characteristics for each of the proposed land uses on a Saturday, which is the worst case. Retail Parking Demand Maximum parking accumulation for the combined retail uses is estimated to be 1,869 spaces at 2:00 PM. In the evening, the demand for the retail uses is expected to drop significantly. The Saturday demand rate of 5 spaces/KSF is conservative and ULI indicates the 4.2 space/KSF would be appropriate. The higher rate used allows for better customer service during the holiday season. Financial Parking Demand Maximum parking accumulation for this use is estimated to be 31 spaces from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The parking generation rate is 2.1 spaces/KSF. Banks and Savings and Loans are busiest on weekdays, especially Friday. Saturdays traditionally have had a very low parking demand, but this has been changing recently. Parking accumulation rates are assumed to be the same as for office uses, since ULI does not specifically identify financial uses. Restaurant Parking Demand Maximum parking accumulation is projected to be 233 spaces from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Friday and Saturday nights are typically the busiest. Parking accumulation rates were taken directly from ULI and have not been modified. Bedford Properties April 20, 1990 page four Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers Movie Theater Parking Demand Maximum parking accumulation for this use is estimated to be 564 spaces at 9:00 PM. The parking generation rate of 0.30 space/street is from ULI for both Friday and Saturday. The other days of the week are typically much lower. This rate is higher than the rate derived from parking surveys conducted by LLG over the past ten years. Our studies show that the "newer generation" of multi-plex theaters have about 60% occupancy due to the staggering of movie start times and that all of the theaters in the complex are not full simultaneously or all showing block buster movies. COMBINED PARKING ACCUMULATION The total parking accumulation has been calculated by hour of day for Saturday. It is anticipated that a maximum combined demand of 2,139 spaces will occur at 3:00 PM. The parking lots will provide 2,408 spaces. The supply will typically exceed the anticipated demand by over 250 spaces.

FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT This is a proposal to construct a shopping center in Rancho California between Ynez Road and the freeway south of Winchester Road. The site is on relatively flat terrain between Santa Gertrudis Creek to the north and a large unnamed wash to the south. Santa Gertrudis Creek is contained by newly constructed facilities. The unnamed wash has capacity for perhaps a third of its 100 year peak flow rate of 1259 cfs. The reinforced concrete box where the wash crosses North General Kearny Road is undersized. Large amounts of runoff from this wash will spill over onto an open field to the northeast of the subject property and join with runoff from a local watershed of 300 acres. These combined flows sheet across Ynez Road onto the subject property. Water ponds on the property as it seeks enough energy to pass through an existing 7' wide x 3' high reinforced concrete box beneath Interstate 15. As the pond gets higher, some flow will outlet in a CalTrans interceptor channel toward more freeway culverts to the south. This project proposes to intercept the sheet flows with a temporary offsite along the east side of Ynez Road and carry them to the box culvert under Ynez Road to the channel along the south side of this project. The applicant indicates that the ponding elevation upstream of the freeway is 1043.7, and their project would not decrease the existing pond volume and that all new buildings would be flood proofed to at least that elevation. -6- The County Board of Supervisors has adopted the Murrieta Creek/Temecula Valley Area Drainage Plan for the purpose of collecting drainage fees. Those fees are used to construct needed flood control facilities within the particular area. The Area Drainage Plan fees apply to new land divisions and other types of development. Virtually all new development causes increased storm runoff. These increases are particularly troublesome in those watersheds where an Area Drainage Plan has been adopted. In order to mitigate the downstream impacts brought about by increased runoff, the District recommends that Conditional Use Cases, Plot Plans and Public Use Cases be required to pay a flood mitigation charge. Mitigation charges, where appropriate, will be similar to the current Area Drainage Plan fee rate. Following are the District's recommendations: 36. A flood mitigation charge shall be paid. The charge shall equal the prevailing Area Drainage Plan fee rate multiplied by the area of new development. The new development in this case includes a total of ~ acres. At the current fee rate of $1,970.00 per acre, the mitigation charge equals $86,680.00. The charge is payable to the Flood Control District prior to issuance of permits. If the full Area Drainage Plan fee or mitigation charge has already been credited to this property, no new charge needs to be paid. 37. The preservation of the 1043.7 pond elevation should be proven with appropriate hydraulic and topographic information. 38. The proposed interim channel on the east side of Ynez Road should be constructed with the first phase of this project. The channel should have capacity to carry the storm runoff from the 300 acres. The 840 cfs breakout should also be carried unless upstream facilities have been approved. Maintenance should be provided. 39. The RCB under Ynez Road and the channel along the south boundary of the project should have capacity to carry the 100 year peak runoff from its tributary area with full development assumed. If they do not have capacity they should be enlarged or other measures should be taken. The onsite channel should be constructed to District standards including those relating to design, alignment and access. If the District is to maintain the channel, the applicant will have to pay a maintenance charge. Onsite drainage facilities located outside of road right of way should be contained within drainage easements. Drainage easements shall be kept free of buildings and obstructions. Offsite drainage facilities should be located within publicly dedicated drainage easements obtained from the affected property owners. The documents should be recorded and a copy submitted to the District prior to the issuance of permits. A copy of the improvement plans and grading plans along with supporting hydrologic and hydraulic calculations should be submitted to the District for review and approval to the issuance of grading or building permits. COUNTY GEOLOGIST We have reviewed the liquefaction aspects of your report entitled '~Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, ql + Acre winchester Plaza Shopping Center, SWC of Winchester Road, and Ynez Road, Temecula, CA,~ dated April 1~, 1989, and your response letter, dated, August 10, 1989. Your report determined that: There is a moderate liquefaction potential at the site for soils at depths between 20 and ~0 feet. Approximately 1 to 3 inches of liquefaction-induced settlement might occur at the subject site. Your report recommended that: To mitigate the liquefaction potential of the site, the near-surface soils within proposed building areas should be removed to a minimum depth of 5 feet below the existing ground surface or q feet below the deepest footing, whichever is greater. Deeper localized removals to competent soils should be anticipated. Overexcavations should extend a minimum lateral distance of 5 feet beyond the outer edges of exterior footings. Prior to fill placement, the exposed soils should be scarified to a depth of 6 to 8 in and compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction {ASTM D 1557). A 1-foot layer of gravel {1-1/2 in maximum size) should then be placed in the bottom of the excavations and compacted to at least 90% relative compaction ASTM D 1557). To mitigate the potential effects of liquefaction, continuous footings should be used for all proposed structures. Square footings may be considered but should be constructed as a combined or continuous footing. Two #~ reinforcing bars placed in the top and 2 in the bottom of the continuous footings are recommended to provide uniform support of the foundation system. A Structural Engineer should evaluate configurations and reinforcement requirements for combined footings, structural loads, shrinkage and temperature stresses, with special consideration given to the possible effects of liquefaction. The design structures should comply with the requirements of the governing jurisdictions and standard practices of the Structural Engineers Association of California. Foundation and grading plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Engineer to assure conformance with the intentions of the recommendations contained in this report. It is our opinion that the report was prepared in a competent manner and satisfies the additional information requested under the California Environmental Quality Act review and the Riverside County Comprehensive General Plan. Final approval of the report is hereby given. The recommendations made in your report for mitigation of liquefaction potential shall be adhered to in the design and construction of this project. It should be noted that the recommendations for liquefaction mitigation made in this report supersede those made in County Geologic Report q18, prepared by Leighton and Associates on October 16, 1985. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DRAINAGE The developer shall comply with the requirements of the City Engineer based on the recommendations of the Riverside County Flood Control District. The Development shall accept and properly dispose of all offsite drainage flowing onto or through the site. !n the event the City Engineer permits the use of streets for drainage purposes, the provisions of Article XI of Ordinance No. 460 will apply.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environ- mental goals? {A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long- term impacts will endure well into the future. ) Ce Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumu- latively considerable? {A project's impact on two or more separate resources may be relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant. ) de Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substan- tial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Yes Maybe No X B LA N K I ES/FOR MS -7- I!1 Discussion of the Environmental Evaluation BLANK IE$/FORMS -8- ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a signi- ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi- ficant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on attached sheets and in the Conditions of approval have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Date 6-11-90 Samuel Ree~ For CITY OF TEMECULA BLANKIES/FORMS -9- Earth 1 .a.-f. log. Air 2.a.-c. Water 3.a. 3.b.-c. 3.d.-e. 3.fo 3.go 3.ho No. the proposed addition of a 13,812 square foot building and 2,8q8 square feet of additional floor space will not involve significant additional amounts of grading to approved Plot Plan No. 11222. No. The project site is identified on the Riverside County General Plan Seismic Geological Map as being located within a fault zone, liquefaction or subsidence area, and appropriate building design will be required to mitigate potential impacts. No. The additional square footage of commercial space adds incrementally to the deterioration of air quality locally and regionally. Temecula's rate of growth regionally is significant. This individual project~s impact is not significant. No. There are no marine or fresh waters on the site. No. Sheet flow will continue to be channeled into the streets and drainage facilities. Development activities on open land generally decreases water absorption by the installation of concrete structures. Construction activities also compact soil which affects absorbability. This impact is not deemed significant and will not be increased if the revised permit application is approved. The closest intermittent body of water to the site is Tucalota Creek. The proposed project will not affect the amount of Tucalota Creek~s surface water or alter the surface water quality. Yes. See Flood Control letter dated June 18, 1990. Conditions to avoid significant impact have been attached. No. The proposed project is an amendment to the approved Plot Plan No. 11222 and would not additic~nally affect the quality of flow of ground waters. No. The proposed project will not affect the public water supply. Yes. See Flood Control letter dated June 18, 1990. The project site is located within a dam inundation area and is subject to 100 year storm flow. Development on the site is subject to the land use standards for floods implemented through the Riverside County Ordinance No. 458 - Flood Plan Management. See Flood Control letter dated June 18, 1990. Mitigations will prevent significant impact. Plant Life #.a.-c. No. The proposed project is to add additional square footage to an already approved Plot Plan No. 11222. The proposed project will not additionally affect the existing plant life. 4.d. No. There are no agricultural crops on the site to be affected. Animal Life 5.a.-c. No. Since the proposed project is an amendment to an approved Plot Plan No. 11222, there will be not additional impacts to animal life. Noise 6.ao Maybe. the proposed additional commercial space may increase traffic volumes to the site during certain times of the day resulting in possible increased traffic noise. This potential impact is not considered significant. 6.bo No. The proposed project will not expose people to severe noise levels. Liqht and Glare No. The proposed project will not produce additional substantial light glare as will already be produced by Plot Plan No. 11222. The project site is located within the Mt. Palomar Observatory Street Lighting Building Area which recommends the use of low pressure sodium vapor {LPSV) light to avoid interference with the Mt. Palomar Observatory telescope. Land Use No. The southwest Area Plan designates the site as commercial. Plot Plan No. 11222 has previously been approved for this site. Natural Resources No. The proposed 13,000 square foot commercial building will not substantially increase the rate of use or depletion of any natural resource. Risk of Upset 10.a. No. The proposed project will not require the closure of any hazardous substances. ..... 10.b. No. The proposal will not involve the closure of any streets. -3- Population 11. No. The addition of 13,000 square feet will not allow the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of human population within the area. Housinq 12. No. The addition of 13,000 square feet of commercial space will not create a significant number of jobs which would affect the area's housing demand. Transportation/Circulation 13.a.. c.,f. Maybe. There may be an increase in traffic during peak hours. The transportation related conditions of approval for Plot Plan No. 11222 shall apply. 13.b. No. Approved Plot Plan No. 11222 provides 2,q08 stalls. By allowing a shared parking reduction, due to the nighttime use of the theater and daytime use of the retail store, Palm Plaza will have adequate parking. 13.d.-e. No. The proposed additional commercial space will not alter the present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods. There are not waterborne or rail facilities within the vicinity of the project. Public Services lq.a. -f. No. The proposed addition of 13,000 square feet of commercial space will not generate a need for additional public services. Enerqy 15.a.-b. No. The proposed project will not result in the substantial use or increase a demand of fuel or energy. Utilities 16.a. -f. No. The proposed project will not generate a need for additional utilities. Human Health 17.a.-b. No. the proposed 13,000 square feet of commercial space will not create a health hazard or increase human exposure to hazardous materials. A~'ch~ic~ 18. No. The proposed will not present an impact to any scenic vistas. Recreation 19. No. The proposed project will not affect the area's recreational opportunities. Cultural Resources 20.a.-d. No. All cultural resource impacts will be addressed by Plot Plan No. 11222. Mandatory Findinqs of Significance 21 .a.-c. No. The proposed 13,000 square foot commercial building will not impact the biological environment, achieve short term goals to the disadvantage of long term environmental impacts, or have cumulative impacts. 21 .d. No. The traffic study for Plot Plan No. 11222 has been analyzed to determine if the additional 16,668 square feet of commercial space will have a significant impact on the transportation system in the immediate area. No significant impacts are expected from the additional retail area.
