A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on December 28, 1994. The Old Town Local Review Board reviewed the project prior to project submittal and gave it's final approval for the project on February 13, 1995. Planning Application No. PA94-0131 was deemed complete on February 15o 1995. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a proposal for a 31,935 square foot museum building to be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 will comprise approximately 7,635 square feet and Phase 2 will comprise 24,300 square feet. ANALYSIS Site Desjan The building "footprint" was approved as a component of the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan. This Plan was approved by the City Council on April 5, 1994. Staff required a Plot Plan application for this project in order to review and approve the design of the first phase of the building as well as further expansions to the project. The location of the building on the Plot Plan is in substantial conformance with the location approved on the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan. The location of the building will serve as a screen of the western elevation of Motel 6. Parking for the project was discussed during the formulation of the Sam Hicks Monument Master Ran. It was determined that this project was a quasi-public use within Sam Hicks Park and that parking would be shared between the Park and the Senior Center. Architecture As per the provisions contained within the Old Town Specific Plan (Plan), the Old Town Local Review Board (Board) has reviewed the exterior colors and materials for consistency with the Plan. The Board has determined that the project is consistent with the Plan and recommended approval of the project to the Director of Planning. Area Compatibility The project is consistent with other development in the area in terms of scale, materials and colors. The museum is a quasi-public building and will be compatible with the other governmental buildings in the area (the Fire Station, Post Office and the Senior Center). ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The land use designation for the site is identified in the General Plan as Open Space/Recreation. It is likely that the Museum uses will be permitted in Open Space/Recreation designations. The Old Town Specific Plan designation for the site is Highway Tourist Commercial. The Planning Director has determined that the use is consistent with the surrounding area and compatible with the Specific Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION An Initial Study was prepared for the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan (this project is a component of the Plan). The Initial Study indicated that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of Approval have been added to the project. A Negative Declaration was granted by the City Council on April 5, 1994 for the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project is consistent with the City's General Plan, the Old Town Specific Plan, and Ordinance No. 348. The project is located within Sam Hicks Monument Park, and the building footprint has been considered by the Community Services Commission and the City Council in their approval of the Park Master Plan. A Negative Declaration was granted by the City Council on April 5, 1994 for the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan (this project is a component of the Plan). Planning Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission re- affirm the previously adopted Negative Declaration for the project. FINDINGS The proposed use conforms to all the General Plan requirements and with all applicable re~luirements of state law and City ordinances. The land use designation for the site is identified in the General Plan as Open Space/Recreation. The Old Town Specific Plan designation for the site is Highway Tourist Commercial. The Planning Director has determined that the project is consistent with the surrounding area. The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.30 (Plot Plan) of Ordinance No. 348. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. The proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures identified in the Initial Environmental Assessment for the Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan (of which this is a component) have been included in the Conditions of Approval and will reduce any impacts to a level less than significant. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, access, and intensity of use, because the proposed Planning Application (Plot Plan), as conditioned, complies with the standards contained within the City's General Plan, the Old Town Specific Plan, and Ordinance No. 348. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open to, and useable by, vehicular traffic. Access to the project site is from two publicly maintained roads (Mercedes Street and Moreno Road). The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and environmental documents associated with these applications and herein incorporated by reference. Attachments: 2. 3. 4.

The park will not require significant amounts of gradin8. Manufactured slopes will be cr-o-,a a~ the portion of the si~ adjacent m the Senior Ce~m=. Any uns~ble conditions will be mitigated through planting of dopes for erosion conlrol (ttun is consistent with Uniform Building Code Standards and Ordinance No. 457) and through proper compaction of the soils. Consu~ction and grading for this development wffi not be st depths which would sffect any geologic substnxcmres. No impacts are foreseen as a result of this project. 1.b. Yes. The proposal wx]l result in the disruptinn, displacement, compaction, or overcover'rag of the soil. All grading activity requires disruptions, displacements, compaction and overcovering of the soil. The amount of disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of the soil will be the mlnlm~//1 alllotlllt Deeded to realize the projecL No si_~nificant impacts arc ~u~tlcipated as a result of this project. 1.C, Yes. The proposal will result in a change in the site topography and ground surface relief f-~n,res. A majority of the sffe is relatively fla. Additional gr~clln$ is proposed for the project, therefore the wpography and ground surface relief f~-n,,es wfll be modified. The newly created slopes will be similar w those cre_~_r__,~ on the Senior Cemer site. No siguificam impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 1.d. No. The proposal will not result in the destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features. No unique geologic f~,res exist on the site. No significant impacts are smicips~d as a result of this project. 1.e. Yes. Development of the site wfil result in incressed wind and wamr erosion of sobs both on and off-site. Gr~d lnE will occur during the constation phase for the project. In addition, the potential for wind and wa~er erosions of soil will increase from the creation of mmmfacmrod slopes on the eastern portion of the site that is adjacent to the Senior Cev2r. Short-term imp, acts will be mitigated through grading teehniqUe~ th~ are consistent ~ Air Quality regulations and best grading practices. Long-term impacts will be mitigsLed through site landscaping and the cons=ucdon of harriscape. Erosion control measuros w~l be implemented as a condition of approval for the project and will have to be consistent with Uulfonn Building Code Standards and 0rdina/1ce No. 45~. This will e~lsttre that no sigxlificaDt im,n~lcts arise as a result of this plDjecL 1.f. Yes. The proposal will result in changes in siltsion, deposition, and erosion. Reference response 1 .e. No signi~cam impacts are ~Gcipaed as a result of this project. 1.g. No. The proposal will not result in modifications m any wash, ehsnn,1; aeek, river or lake. None e~st on the project sire, nor are proxim~e to the s~. No significant i,-n~cts are anticipnted as a result of ~ project. Yes. Development of the site will exppse people and property to earthquake hazards because the project is locamd in Southern California: an area which is sei~nically active. Any potential impacts will be mkigazed through building construction which is consistent with Unifonn Build'rag Code ./ 1. i. Ail' 2.a,b. Water 3.b. 3,c. 3.d. standards and proper ground compaction. The pwject w~l not expose people or property to geologic hazards such as landslides, mudslides, ground failure or liquefaclion. No known landslides are located on the site or proximale w the site. The s~m-- is true for mudslides. The project will expose people or property to geologic hazards such as ground failure or liquefaction because the project is lo_~ in a liqud'm:tion/subsiclence zone (as identified in the City of Temecula General Plan Fin=~ Environmental Impact Report). Again, potential impacts w~l be mitigat~i through building colon which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards and proper gro. nd compaction. No significant im!2am axe auticipatecl as a result of this project, No. The proposal does ~ot include developu~mt withh an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as identified by the State of California, Resource Agency DeparUnent of Conservation Special Studies Zone Map. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Yes.. The project will result hi air -mh~ions and deterioration of smhieat air quality in the short- run. Air emissions and objectionable odors w~l occur during the construction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. There will be no air emissions or deterioration of'-axnbient air quality in the long run. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. No. The project will not result in altermions of air movement, tem~ar~Lre, or moisture, or in any change in climate either locally or regionally. The scale of the pwject precludes it from c~fing any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No. The proposal will not result in changes to currents, to the course or direction of wa~r movements in either m~ri~e or fresh wa~rs. ' The project site is not loca~l adjacent to m~rine wm and is sufficiently removed from fresh wazer sources. No significant impacts are anticipa~cl as a result of this project. Yes. The proposal will result in changes to absorption razes, drainage p~-erns and the ra~e and mount of surf, we runoff. Previously permeable gro-nd will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscspe and driveways. While absoxption rauss n,,~ sill'face lltnoff will chatlge, hnpacts are Blitig~t_t~4~ through Site design. Drahlage conveyances w~l be required which will safely and adeq-~ly h~-~le any of the runoff which is cr~.A by the realization of the project. No significant impacts are amicip_~sd_ as a result of this project. No. The proposal will not result in alterations to the come or flow of flood wszers. The project is adjacent to the one hundred and five b--drezi year flood plain; however, it is not loc~t_~_ within an identified floodway. No significant impacts are anticipsxed as a ~e~ult of this project. No. The proposal will not result in a change in the amomn of surface wa~er in any waterbody. Landscaping on site w"l allow a significant amount of the wazer m drain imo the ground. No si~ificant impac~ Re snticipat~i as a result of this project. R:WrAFFNrT'~AMHICKSJS 2~14/B4 klb 8 3.e. 3.f. Yes. The proposal will result in discharges into su_rfa~ watch or in any alteration of surface water quality. Prior w iss,,~nce of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required w comply with the requirements of the, National Pollutant Discharge EJimln~fion Sy~m (N~pDES) permit fx'om the State Water Resour~_ Conre31 Board. No grading shall be permitr~i until an NPDES Notice of Intent has been flied ~r the projea is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level leas than significant. Therefore, no significant im.n~ts are smlcipated as a result of this pwject. No. The proposal will not result in an alterltion of the direction or rite of flow of groundwaters. Construction on the site will not be at depths suff~ient to have a significant impact un ground waters. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this projea. 3.g. No. The proposal will not result in a change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions, withdrawals, or through in~'celxion of an aquifor by ctns Or excavations. Reference response ~ .f. No significant impacts are amicipa~d as a result of this project. 3.h. No. The project will not result in- the reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies. Water service wil ultimately be provided by Rancho California Water District (RCWD) upon completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. No. The proposal will not expose people or property to wa~r reJ~ b~rds such as flooding. Reference respomes 3 .c. and ~ .d. NO si~it~cam impaas are ~tlcipau~i as a result of this project. PlantLife No. The proposal will not result in a change to the diversity of species, or number of any n~five species of planta. The project is considered in-fill, with development surrotmding it on all sides. In addition, the majority of the site being previonsly graded and subsequantiy improved. A small portion of the site will require additional grading; however, it has also been previously disturbed.' No significant impacts are anticipated as a reault of this project. 4.b. No. The proposal will not result in a reduction of the numbera of any unique, rare, or evdnngered species of plants. Referante response 4.a.- No. Development of the site will not result in the crearion of a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species. Reference response 4.a. 4.d. No. The proposal will not result in a reduction in the acreage of any agriculmnl crop. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project since no prime farmland, farmland of statewide or local importance, or unique farmland is located wimln the project site. Animal Life 5.a.b.d.e. No. The project will not result in a, change in the diversity of species, or nnmben of species of mlimah. The pwject site lies within the Riveraide County Stephens Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan Preliminary Study Area, however, the project itself will not impact the habitat of the Stephem Kangaroo Rat (SKR). Thc site has been previously developed and cou, i-~ts of structures, harriScape, landscaping snd din. Th~ project is considered 'in~ll' with d~velopment existing to the nor, h, south, ust and west. There is no poi=aiial for the chang~ in the diversity and number (reduction) of the species, or in producing s barrier to the migration of Stzphens Kangaroo Rat ss well as the dete~ioralion of its habi~ ~ within th~ project area. SKR Mitigation are not required for the developmen~ of parcels used by local governmental entities (as per Seaion 10(e) of Ordinance No. 66~). No other sensitive species have been identified upon the site. si~i~caut impacls are snticipated as a resul~ of this project. No, The proposal will not result in the inu'oduction of any new wildlife species into the area. No significant impacts are anticipaxed as a result of this proje~___ Yes,. The pwposal will result in increases to e~4n,v noise levels. The site is currendy utilized as a park site and the project proposes to exp~nd the park use nn~ add a museum. The museum and park will be used primarily during the day. Inte/~i~te 15 is lor~t,~cl w the east. Commercial uses exist to the north and west of the project. The Senior Center ~nd Fire Depatunent are located W the soulix. These are not considered sensitive r_~__~mrs as identified in the Cky of Temecula General Plan. No significantimpacts from noise are amicips~d as a result of this project. 6.b. Yes. The projea will expose people to severe noise levels' during the development/consWaction phase. Consu'u~on machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA s~ 100 fee~ which is considered very annoying and can came hearing ~mn~e from steady i-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore w~l not be considered significanL No significant impacts are amicipated either in the short- or long-run. 6.c. Yes. The proposal will result in the exposure of people to severe vibrations during the development/construction phsse. The vibrations will be of short duration and therefore wilt not be considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated either in the short or long run. Light and Glare Yes, The proposal w~l ultlrn~ely produce and result in light/glare, because development of the site will include new light sources. All light and Elate has the potential W impact the Mount Palomar Observatory and surrounding development. The project is conditioned w be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordln~nce Regul~inE Light Pollution). No impacts are foreseen from light and glare. Land Use Yes, The proposal w~l not signi~camly alter the present lsnd use of the site. The Master Plan will ~h~c~ and slightly expand the park and relocse the museum from its current Main Street lotion. No significant impacts are sn~icipsed as a result of this project.- 10 8.b. No. The proposal will not result in an alt~.ion w the future planned land use of the site as described CiW's General PIn. The General Plan land Use designation for the site is Open Space/Recreation. The Old-T0wn Specific Plan designation for the site is Old Town Civic which is intended m provide for public and quasi-public uses such as parks and museums. No significant impacts are anticipated'as a result of this project. Natural Resources 9.a,b. Yes. The proposal will result in an increase in the rm of use of any natural resource or the depletion of any nonrenewable resource. Developmen~ of the si~ will result in an increase in the rate of use of nanwal resources (construction minedais, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable .nm~al resources.

BACKGROUND This item was first heard by the Planning Commission at their January 23, 1995 meeting. Because of time constraints, the Commission continued the item to March 6, 1995 and directed staff to respond to the concerns of the Commission and members of the public at this meeting. DISCUSSION Site Plan Lavout The primary issue of concern for the Commission was the building layout of the center. In reviewing the site plan, there are two major constraints that impact the site design. First, there is a 50 foot wide drainage easement that runs roughly north and south along the westerly portion of the site (See Attachment No. 6). The developer is prohibited from placing structures upon the easement. This prohibition limits development in this area to landscaping or parking. The second constraint is the access points of the adjacent developments to the along the western and eastern property boundaries (See Attachment No. 6). Because the access point to the west exists (Country Glen Way), and the access to the east is shown upon a recorded map, the proposed development is condition to align with these access points. Therefore, the location of the on-site drive aisles have been somewhat pre-determined. In addition, the layout must also be consistent with the General Plan's Village Center concept. As shown on the revised site plan (See Exhibit "A, Amendment No. 1 "), the westerly portion of the site contains many of the elements of the Village Center concept. This area, shown as Phase 2 on Exhibit "B", provides for pedestrian access to the surrounding neighborhood, pedestrian plazas that provide for public gathering, a pedestrian orientated streetscape, and a "Main Street" circulation pattern. While the design does not contain every element of the Village Center concept (i.e. residential uses), the present design will not preclude future opportunities for these uses. As shown on Attachment No. 7, the project site is one portion of the overall Village Center for this area. The entire Village Center concept will develop over time. In addition to the Commission's concerns, members of the public also expressed concern about the site layout. Residents of the Redhawk and Country Glen developments stated that they were concerned about the proximity of buildings and the impact of shopping center patrons on the residential development to the west. As stated above, the Village Center concept encourages designs that are accessible to surrounding development as opposed to development which "turns its back" to the surrounding area. It should be noted that the County Glen development is a gated community with a 6 foot perimeter wall. The gate and wall will, in staff's opinion, greatly reduce the impacts of the center on the adjacent residential community. After reviewing the above mentioned constraints, the public's and Commission's concerns, and the City's development requirements, it is staff's opinion that the proposed plan satisfactorily balances these concerns. Visual Bufferina of Buildings and Eouinment Area residents and the Commission both raised concerns regarding the visual impacts of the buildings from the existing residential developments to the west and south of the project. Along the western edge of the site, the applicant is proposing landscaping along the street, within the parking lot and adjacent to the building. In staff's opinion, this will reduce the visual impacts on this side of the development (See Exhibit "B"). As for views from the south, the project will provide landscaping along Via Rio Temecula and within the parking lot area. Also, the building elevations (See Exhibits "C", "D", "E" and "F") and Design Guidelines (See Exhibit "0, Amendment No. 1 ") will require building articulation and varying building materials. Roof top equipment will be screened with a four foot parapet wall. Due to the differences in elevation, some homes to the south, which are approximately 1/3 of a mile away, may be able to see the upper portion of roof equipment. Again, it is staff's opinion that design features incorporated into the project adequately address the concerns that have been raised. Colors and Materials Commissioner Slaven expressed concern regarding the proposed colors for the center. Originally, the included grey and brown colors to be used on the stucco building faces. The applicant has since removed the grey colors while the brown colors remain. (See Exhibit "O, Amendment No. 1 '). Architecture Consistency At the January 23 meeting, staff stated that the individual pad buildings, (McDonalds and Chevron) did not have the same design elements as the rest of the center. It was staff's opinion that the creation of stand alone pads did not meet the intent of the Village Center guidelines. Subsequent to the last meeting, the elevations for both sites have been revised. The Chevron building, in staff's opinion, substantially conforms to the Design Guidelines. With regards to the McDonalds building, with the exception of the roof element, the building conforms to the overall design of the center (See Exhibit "H, Amendment No. 1 "). The top of the roof does not contain the cornice feature that contained within the rest of the center. Also, the tile roof element on the building face, and not at the top, and is in staff's opinion, inconsistent with the rest of the center. Staff recommends that conditions be added to require the cornice feature and to remove the tile roof structures. Desian Guidelines At the January 23 meeting, staff recommended that the Design Guidelines be revised in order to better provide direction for the development of future buildings consistent with the design of the center. Subsequent to the last meeting, the design guidelines have been revised, with one exception, to staff's satisfaction. Staff recommends that Commission require language that specifically requires the buildings along the main drive aisle, within Phase 2, to be oriented towards each other. In staff's opinion, the Guidelines do not clearly address this issue. Sian Proaram At the January 23 meeting, staff also recommended that changes be made to the Sign Program. The previous site plan identified a movie theater and a corresponding monument sign along Highway 79 South. The theater is now called out as "Potential Theater\Major 4." Staff recommends that the monument sing not be permitted should the building not be a movie theater. Second, it is staff's opinion that cabinet signs be limited to monument signs only. Staff recommends that all references to cabinet signs, excluding monument signs, be deleted from the Sign Program. This would result in the McDonalds wall signage to be modified. Third, staff recommends that changes be made to the temporary sign section to be consistent with the City's sign ordinance. CONCLUSION Subsequent to the January 23 meeting, the applicant has made several revisions to the design of the project. It is staff's opinion, as stated above, that the project adequately addresses the concerns stated at the previous Commission meeting and meets the requirements of the City's requirements. With regards to the issues raised above for Architectural Design, Design Guidelines and Sign Program, staff would like further direction from the Commission.

That the above recitations are true and correct. Section 2. Findin2s. That the Temecuh planning Commission hereby makes the foliowing findings: A. Pursuant to Section 18.28, no Conditional Use Permit may be approved unless the applicant demonstrates the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and we]fare of the community, and further, that any Conditional Use Permit approved shall be subject to such conditions as shall be necessary to protect the health, safety and general weftare of the community. B. The Planning Commition, in appmving planning Application No. PA94-0095 makes the following findings, to wit: 1. The proposed use conforms to all General Plan requirements and with all applicable requirements of state law and City ordinanceS. The project is a permitrod use within the General plnn Land Use designntlon of Highway Tourist Commercial (IfrC). In addition, the project is permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit. 2. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed land use in terms of the size and shape of the lot configuration, circuhtion patterns, access, and intensity of use due to the fact that the proposed development complies with the standards of Ol~innnCe No. 348. 3. The is consistent with the General Plan due to the fact that the project has been design to be consistent with the Village Center Concepts of the General Plan. Development of this type will meet and further the overall goals of the General pinn 4. The impact of this project exceeds the thresholds, even after the imposition of mitigation measures, for air quality. These thresholds are established by . As such, this project must be viewed as having a significant effect on the environment, in particular air quality. 5. In certifying the City's General Plan Environmental Impact Report and adopting Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City identified air qnnlity as a potentinlly significant effect on the environment that even with miU'gation could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance. The project is within the rage of impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR and Statement of Overriding Considerations. Consequently, the pmpaxation of a full EIR W address this issue alone is unlikely to result in additional new information or mitigation measures not already av~ilnble for this project. 6. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the public health or we]fare due to the fact that the Conditions of Approval include measures which will ensure that public health and we]fare will be maintained. 7. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The harmony in scale, bulk, height, intensity, and coverage creates a compatible physical relationship with adjoining properties due to the fact that the proposed development is compatible with current surrounding development and Ordinance No. 348. 8. The project has acceptable access to a dedicated right-of-way which is open w, and useable by, vehicular traffic due to the fact that the interior circuhtion is suitable and connects with Redhawk Parkway, Country Glen Way, Vh Rio Temecuh and Highway 79 South. 9. The project as designed and conditioned will not adversely affect the built or natural env'tronment as determined in the initial study performed for thi,~ project due to the fact that the Conditions of Approval provide for the necessary mitigation for the project. 10. The design of the project and the type of improvements are such that they are not in conflict with easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed project as represented on the site plan. 11. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare; conforms to the logical development of the land and is compatible with the present and future logical development of the surrounding property, due to the fact that the project is consistent with all City and State requirements. 12. The proposed use or action complies with all other requirements of state law and local ordinances. The proposed use complies with California Governmental Code Section 65360, Section 18.28 (Conditional Use Permit) of Ordinance No. 348. 13. Said findings are supported by maps, exhibits and env'tronmental documents associated with these applications and here'm incorporated by reference. C. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, planning Application No. PA94-0095, as proposed, is compatible with the health, safety and weftare of the community. D. The Planning Commission in approving the certification of the Negative Declaration of environmental impact under the provisions of the California Environmental Qnality Act, specifically finds that the approval of this Conditional Use Permit will have a di minimis impact on fish and wildlife resources. The planning Commission specifically finds that in considering the record as a whole, the project involves no potential adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife as the same is defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code. This is based on the fact that this project will be located on a site that has been previously graded an no wildlife exists on the site. The Planning Commission further finds that l~nd Grant Development Company is the project proponent and the site is located at on the southwesterly ceroer of Highway 79 South and Redhawk Parkway, Temecula, California. The project includes the construction of a commercial shopping center consisting of approximately 238,000 square feet of building area and that all of the ~me are located in the County of Riverside. Funhermore, the Planning Commission finds that an initial study has been px~ed by the City Staff and considered by the Planning Commission which has been the basis to evaluate the potential for adverse impact on the environment and forms the basis for the planning Commission's determination, including the information contained in the public hea~g records, on which a Negative Declaration of environmental impact was issued and this di minirnis finding is made. In addition, the planning Commission finds that there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources, or the habitat on which the wildlife depends. Finally, the planning Commission finds that the City has, on the basis of subsUmtial evidence, rebutted the presumption of adverse effect contained in 14 California Code of Regulations 753.5(d). Section 3. Environmental Compliance.

That the above recitations are true and correct. Section 2. Findings. The Planning Commission in appreving the proposed Parcel Map, makes the following findings: A. Pursuant to Section 7.1 of County Ordinance No. 460, no subdivision may be approved unless the following findings are made: plans. 1. That the proposed land division is consistent with applicable general and specific 2. That the design or impwvement of the proposed land division is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. 3. That the site of the proposed land division is physically suitable for the type of development. 4. That the site of the proposed land division is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. 5. That the design of the proposed land division or proposed impwvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. 6. That the design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. 7. That the design of the proposed land division or 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 land division. A land division may be appwved if it is found that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection Shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. B. The planning Commission, in approving planning Application No. PA94-0097 makes the following specific findings, to wit: 1. The pwpesed land division is consistent with the City of Tomeeuia General Plan, which was adopted November 9, 1993. The General Plan land use designation is Community Commercial. All future development has been conditioned to be consistent with the Community Commercial land use designation of the General Plan. 2. The proposed land division is consistent with City of Tomecub Ordinance No. 460. The parcels meet the requirements of Section 10. 10 of Ordinance No. 460 for Schedule "E" Parcel Map Divisions. 3.

R:'~TAFFRF~95PA94.PC2 317j95 k~ 28 4. The project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project which includes mitigation measures which will reduc~ all impacts to below a level of significance. 5. Said findings are supported by minutes, maps, and exhibits associated with these applications and herein incoll~rated by reference. This Staff Report contains maps and Conditions of Approval which suppelt the Staff recommendation. C. As conditioned pursuant to Section 4, planning Application No. PA94-0097, as propose~i, conforms to the logical development of its proposed site, and is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. D. The Planning Commission in approving the certification of the Negative Declaration of environmental impact under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Finds that the approval of this Tentative Parcel Map will have a di minimiS impact on fish and wi]dlife resourc, es. The planning Commission specifically finds that in considering the record as a whole, the project involves no potential adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife as the same is defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code. This is based on the fact that this project will be located on a site that has been previously graded an no wildlife exists on the site. The Planning Commission further finds that Land Grant Development Company is the project proponent and the site is located on the southwesterly comer of Highway 79 South and Redhawk Parkway, Temecula, C~lifornia. The project includes the subdivision of 31.5 acres into 12 parcels and that all of the same are located in the County of Riverside. Furthermore, the Planning Commission fmds that an initial study has been prepared by the City Staff and considered by the Planning Commission which has been the basis to evaluate the poteotiai for adverse impact on the environment and forms the basis for the Planning Commission's determination, including the information coomined in the public hearing records, on which a Negative Declaration of environmental impact was issued and this di minimis finding is made. In addition, the Planning Commission finds that there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project wffi have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources, or the habitat on which the wildlife depends. Finally, the Planning Commission finds that the City has, on the basis of substantial evidence, rebutted the presumption of adverse effect coorained in 14 California Code of Regulations 753.5(d). Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepaxed for this project indicates that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment, and a Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby granted. Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby approves planning Application No. PA94-0097 for the subdivision of a 31.5 acre parcel into 12 parcels located on the southwesterly comer of Highway 79 South and Redhawk Parkway subject to the foilowing conditions: A.

Ruiz, Assistant Planner RECOMMENDATION: 1. RECOMMEND that the City Council Receive the Special Study Report and that no Change be Made to the Land Use Designation within the Study Area BACKGROUND The Nicolas Valley is located in the northeasterly limits of the City. The area boundary is roughly Joseph Road in the west, Butterfield Stage Road in the east, approximately 1000 feet north of Liefar Road in the north and the northern edge of the Tierra Brisas and Pavilion Home developments to the south. The Nicolas Valley Study area consists primarily of 2~ acres parcels, consistent with the zoning for the area. The Study Area is approximately 650 acres in size, with approximately 150 individual property owners and 240 individual parcels. Over the past few years, there has been "typical" single family home development (one family homes, 7,200 square foot parcels) to the West and South of the study area. In addition, there is similar single family development proposed for the areas to the North and East (Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan and Johnson Ranch Specific Plan). When the City of Temecula adopted the General Plan, Nicolas Valley was given a land use designation of Very Low Residential, .2-.4 dwelling units per acre. However, prior to the adoption of the General Plan, some Nicolas Valley residents expressed a desire to have a higher density land use designation for the area. Thus, when the General Plan was adopted, the area was designated as a Special Study Overlay. The overlay designation was intended to allow staff to re-examine the carrying capacity of land to determine what the appropriate land use designation should be. Ultimately, the study was intended to provide a framework for future development of the Valley. Should the study determine that an increased land use intensity is appropriate, staff would then initiate a General Plan Amendment. In March of 1994, the Planning Department issued five Requests-for-Proposal (RFP) to planning firms in the Temecula area. In response, the City received three proposals. After a preliminary screening of the proposals by staff, a consultant selection committee was established. The committed was comprised of the Director of Public Works, Director of Planning, and the Senior Planner. Base upon the committee's recommendation, the City Council awarded a professional services contract to the consulting firm of NBS Lowry in October of 1994. DISCUSSION In analyzing the carrying capacity of the Valley, the study area was divided into 4 major sub- areas (See Attachment No. 2). Sub-areas were identified by way of major road divisions, distinct topography, or parcel and study area limitations. The sub-areas were created to allow a grouping of common areas together which can then be evaluated based upon a fixed set of issues. The sub-areas are: Area 1 in the southwest quadrant of the study area; Area 2 is located along the Valley floor; Area 3 is the northerly portion of the study area; and Area 4 is located in the southeasterly portion of the study area. The first major task of the Study was for the consultant to develop the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis (OCA). The OCA examines such issues as: land use density, traffic and road improvements, drainage improvements, sewer and water improvements, and the impacts of surrounding development. Each issue was evaluated to determine, as the name implies, where development may or may not be suitable (See Attachment "4"). Once the OCA was complete, the next step was to develop land use alternatives. The consultant and staff then developed four land use alternatives (See Attachment "4, Exhibit 2"). Alternative "A" proposes ~ acre development along the valley floor and 2~ acre development in the north and south hill side areas. This alternative would potentially allow 742 dwelling units. Alternative "B" would allow ~ acre development along the valley floor and I acre development in the north and south hill side areas. This alternative would potentially allow 944 dwelling units. Alternative "C" would allow % acre development along the valley floor and ~ acre development in the north and south hill side areas. This alternative would potentially allow for 1888 dwelling units. Alternative "D" would be no change to the existing land use designation. In addition to the above tasks, a goal of the Study was to discuss what the residents of the Valley envisioned for the future of this area. To this end, staff held two public workshops with area residents. The first meeting was held in December of 1994 and was attended by approximately 65 people. At this meeting, staff and the City's consultant presented the preliminary opportunities and constraints analysis and discussed the existing and proposed development for the surrounding areas. At the conclusion of the workshop, staff took an informal poll of the meeting attendees to assess the residents views on future land use designations. Staff determined that approximately 1/3 of the attendees wanted no change to the land use designation, 1/3 would consider "some" increased land use designation and 1/3 were undecided, pending further information. A second workshop was held in February of 1995 which was at'tended by approximately 35 people. The second meeting further discussed the opportunities and constraints of the area and discussed various land use alternatives. In addition, staff provided preliminary information on costs for various levels of street and drainage improvements. Specifically, rough cost estimates were provided to construct half-street improvements to the circulation element roads within the study area and for drainage improvements to Santa Gertrudis Creek. Staff stated that if there were no increases in land use designations, or no funding mechanisms were identified to provide the above improvements, the roads would continued to be unimproved and the drainage problems would continue. At the conclusion of this meeting, the overwhelming majority of attendees were opposed to any increase in land use intensity. As presented at the workshops, the OCA determined that even the most constrained areas, the hillside portion of Areas 1,3 and 4, could absorb increased land use intensity. Typically, parcels of a half-acre or greater do not require sewer improvements. Therefore, any land use intensity greater than 2 dwelling units per acre would not require the installation of sewer lines. As for street improvements, all subdivisions require half-section street improvements. In addition, subdivisions of one-acre or less would require additional paved access to the nearest publicly maintained street (Subdivision Ordinance No. 460). Finally, drainage improvements would be dependant upon each developments impact and proximity to a particular drainage course. As an addition note, in 1994, the Department of Public Works conducted two mail surveys of the residents in the area of Liefer Road. The purpose of the surveys were to determine if the residents of the area were interested in forming an assessment district for purpose of improving Liefer Road. The majority of the respondents indicated they did not wish to form an assessment district. CONCLUSION The Special Study has determined that the Nicolas Valley could support an increase in land use intensity. However, the anticipated cost associated with any increase in land use intensity greater than one dwelling unit per acre would make such an increase cost prohibitive at this time. Therefore, the alternative would be to allow for a density of one dwelling unit per acre. In contrast, it is clearly the opinion of the majority of the Valley residents (those who have contacted staff) that they do not support any increases in land use intensity. While this opinion may represent a minority of the overall total number of land owners within the study area, staff considers their input to be significant. Therefore, based upon the input of the area residents, it is staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the Very Low Residential Land Use Designation for the Nicolas Valley remain unchanged.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to evaluate the issues related to the future development of Nicolas Valley (herain referred to as the Study Area). The Study Area is presently identified as a Special Study Overlay area in the Temecula General Plan. Such a designation requires a comprehensive, detailed evaluation of the area's development opportunities and constraints. This evaluation will allow the City to further understand the issues that effect the area such that appropriate decisions can be made to determine the future use of the area and to recommend any changes to the General Plan land uses. The General Plan contains the following list of issues to be evaluated: · · · · · · The provision of flood control, sewer, water and other services; Impact on surrounding development in terms of traffic, light, noise, and other impacts; Methods to provide a transition between rural and suburban/urban development; Topography and related visual impacts of development; Existing lot patterns; Traffic circulation and impacts of level of service; Vegetation and wildlife resources; The provision of recreation trails and open space linkages; and Identify a strategy for financing and phasing of infrastructure and other public improvements. This report is divided into five (5) distinct subjects that will outline the approach utilized to evaluate the issues listed above. The five (5) subjects include: Ill. Background: This Section is intended to provide the reader with an overview of the Study Area and will act as a framework for understanding the issues which affect the Study Area. IV. Jurisdictional: This Section will identify the various governmental regulations and proposed projects which affect the use and development of the Study Area. The issues to be discussed include the General Plan Land Use and Circulation, zoning, park and open space areas, bicycle trails, schools and other public facilities. Phvsicah The information in this Section focuses upon the landforms and infrastructure facilities which exist or are proposed. This Section is to be separated into four (4) geographic areas in an effort to group common or like areas together which can then be evaluated based upon a fixed set of issues. This process will occur by comparing the effect of the existing or proposed facilities upon the Study Area's physical environment and rating it as either low, moderate or high in 3 VI. VII. VIII. sensitivity. The definition of these sensitivity measures are noted in Section III Background. The issues to be discussed in this Section include the Study Area's geography, slopes, landform, parcelization pattern, and road system. Environmental: This Section contains information related to biological and drainage issues which constrain the use of the land. The issues to be discussed include native plant communities, animal habitat and drainage courses. The evaluation criteria will be the same as that noted in Section V Physical. Land Use Alternatives: This Section evaluates potential land use intensities for various portions of the Study Area and estimates a cost distribution for road and drainage facilities. The purpose of this section is to understand the financial implications of selecting different development options for the Study Area. Conclusion and Recommendation: This Section contains a brief summary of the issues presented previously and provides the City with a specific recommendation. 4 III. BACKGROUND A. Location The Nicolas Valley Study Area contains approximately 680 acres and is located in the northeast corner of the City. The Study Area is irregular in shape since it is an o.utgrowth of adjoining development patterns created by either existing or proposed development. Project boundaries include Butterfield Stage Road on the east and proposed Leon Road along a portion of the westerly boundary. The northern boundary of the Study Area abuts the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The Study Area is bisected by Nicolas Road which runs generally in an east/west direction. (See Exhibit 1} B. Existing Setting The Study Area is bordered by hills to the north and south and traversed by several drainage courses which merge near Nicolas Road, just east of proposed Leon Road. Nicolas Road is fully improved from approximately Winchester Road to proposed Leon Road where it narrows to a two (2) lane paved road between Leon Road and Calle Girasol. Nicolas Road easterly of Calle Girasol is a two (2) lane graded dirt roadway. Butterfield Stage Road and Calle Medusa are also graded dirt roads within the Study Area. The Study Area can be characterized as rural in nature based upon the existence of large lots, horse corrals, dirt or graded dirt streets, and the lack of public improvements. C. Proposed Land Use Study Area: The Study Area is currently designated VL (Very Low, .2 to .4 dwelling units per acre) on the City General Plan Land Use Map. It is also a Special Study Overlay area, as noted in the General Plan text. The property is zoned R-R-1 and 2~/2 (Rural Residential, I and 2~ acre minimum lot sizes); R-1-1 (One Family Dwellings, 1 acre minimum lot size); and R-A-2~ (Residential Agriculture, 2~ acre minimum lot size.) Adjacent Lands: The Study Area borders a variety of General Plan Land Use designations: RH (Hillside, 0 to .1 dwelling units per acre); L (Low, .5 to 2 dwelling units per acre); LM (Low Medium, 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre); and OS (Open Space). 5 -NICOLAS -VALLEY ....

Roripeugh Ranch Specific Plan The Roripaugh Specific Plan is approximately 790 acres in size and is proposed to contain 2,370 units. It includes 160 acres within the City limits with the balance in the unincorporated County area. The project is proposed to improve Butterfield Stage Road to an Urban Arterial ( 134 foot right-of-way) or Arterial Highway ( 110 foot right-of- way) depending upon its location. Several Secondary Streets (88 foot right-of-way) and a Principal Collector (78 foot right-of-way) are proposed within the project and will intersect with Butterfield Stage Road adjacent the Study Area boundary. The land uses proposed within the Specific Plan adjacent to the easterly end of the Study Area include commercial, residential, park, middle school, and open space. The northern portion is proposed for commercial and residential uses, although both are to be separated from the Study Area by an open space buffer. Area and Subarea Units Research within the Study Area has been divided into a series of geographical areas. Sections V and VI of this report contain a discussion of the physical and environmental issues associated with four (4) distinct areas (See Exhibit 2). Each area boundary was formed based upon a significant identifiable feature, such as the hills or the location of the flood plain. Section VII contains land use alternatives which further divide the Study Area into smaller subareas. These subareas reflect potential development areas or units. Due to the separate function of each area and subarea analysis, the boundaries of each are not intended to be coterminous. The overall objective of dividing the Study Area into smaller components is an attempt to more easily define the relevant issues which affect the Study Area and weigh their level of importance. The evaluation criteria for the physical and environmental issues contained in the four (4) major geographical areas are based upon the following scale: 7 Low Sensitivitv: An issue affects either a minimal amount of land or is not significant with respect to maintaining the integrity or composition of a facility or resource. Medium Sensitivity: An issue effects either a sizeable area of land or could adversely effect the integrity or composition of a facility or resource. High Sensitivitv: An issue will effect a significant amount of land or will adversely effect the integrity or composition of a facility or resource. 9 IV. JURISDICTIONAL A number of issues affect the Study Area which are either regulated by the City of Temecula or maintained by other local agencies. Although these regulations maybe unseen by a member of the public, they have a significant effect upon the potential use of property. A. Existing and Proposed Circulation The Study Area is currently traversed by the following identifiable roadways: O · · o · · · · Nicolas Road - 2-lane graded dirt road Butterfield Stage Road - Graded dirt road Calle Medusa - 2-lane paved road Calle G!rasol - Graded dirt/paved road Walcott Road - 2-lane graded dirt road Calle Chapos - Graded dirt road Riverton Lane - 2-lane paved road Liefer Road - 2-lane graded dirt road A number of addition streets are noted on Assessor's Map pages but not recognizable in the field. These streets provide access to individual parcels within the Study Area. Although some of these streets are dedicated to the City the balance are private roads and are identified as a lettered lot on the County Assessor maps. The private roads have been offered for dedication but not accepted by the City for maintenance. Various circulation improvements are identified for the Study Area and contained in the City General Plan Circulation Element. These circulation improvements include the following (See Exhibit 3): Butterfield Staae Road: This roadway is to be a 6-lane Urban Arterial (134 foot right-of-way).' The westerly one-half of Butterfield Stage Road, south of Calle Chapos, has been dedicated to the City at a half-width right-of-way of 55 feet. Additional dedication of land will be required to meet the General Plan requirement. Nicolas Road: This roadway is to be a 4-lane Arterial Highway (110 foot right-of-way) with a raised landscape median. Within the street right-of-way is to be included a Class II or III bicycle lane. Nicolas Road, east of proposed Leon Road, is primarily a non-dedicated roadway. The balance of the roadway is noted as a separate lettered lot on the County 10 Assessor maps and has been offered for dedication to the City but not accepted for maintenance. Leon Road: This roadway is proposed to be a Secondary Highway (88 foot right-of-way). No portion of this roadway has been dedicated to the City at this time. Calle Girasol/Calle ChaoosRValcott Lane: These streets have been identified on the City General Plan Circulation Element as a 2-lane Principal Collector (78 foot right-of-way). In the Spring of 1995, the City intends to construct road improvements on these streets to provide for two (2) lanes of traffic within 32 feet of paving. The improvements will extend from La Serena Way to Nicolas Road. Bicycle Facilities: In addition to the bicycle lane described above, a Class I bicycle lane is also proposed north of Nicolas Road. This facility would be separate from Nicolas Road and located outside of the street right-of-way. Existing and Proposed Parks and Open Space No parks or open space areas exist or are proposed within the Study Area. However, existing Riverton Park and a number of proposed parks and open space areas are planned in the areas immediately beyond the Study Area boundary. The park and open space areas noted on the City's General Plan north of the Study Area overlap those planned for the Roripaugh Specific Plan. The drainage courses in the Roripaugh Specific Plan, which ultimately extend into the Study Area, have been identified as open space with the intent of preserving their drainage and biological characteristics. The City collects park development fees for the purpose of developing new parks or rehabilitating existing ones. Although no parks are proposed in the Study Area, development fees provide a mechanism for new development in the Study Area to pay their proportional share of new park facilities. Existing and Proposed Public Facilities No schools exist or are proposed within the Study Area. However, one elementary school exists to the northwest of the Study Area and several schools are proposed within the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The Roripaugh Plan includes both a K-8th grade school and a middle school. As was noted above for park facilities, each new development is assessed school fees for the purpose of paying their proportional share of new school facilities. These facilities may be 12 located beyond the immediate geographic area of individual development projects. A number of infrastructure improvements are proposed and include the following: ~: A 115 volt electrical line is proposed along the westerly edge of the Study Area. 2. Existing Sewer: No sewer lines exist within the Study Area. ProDosed Sewer: Two (2) sewer lines are proposed through the Study Area. An 18-inch line is proposed along the southerly side of Nicolas Road extending easterly through the Study Area, tO Calle Girasol. At this point the line size decreases to 15-inches and continues easterly through the Study Area into the Roripaugh Specific Plan. A 12-inch line is proposed to branch off of the 18-inch line (described above) just easterly of the intersection of Nicolas Road and Calle Girasol. The 12-inch line will run parallel with Calle Girasol until it intersects with Calle Chapos, where it will extend easterly until it terminates at the intersection of Calle Chapos and Walcott Road. Existing Water: A water well owned and operated by the Rancho California Water District exists just north of the intersection of Nicolas Road and Calle Girasol. Water lines exist in the following locations: · e An 8-inch line in Liefer Road. An 8-inch line along the north side of Nicolas Road extending from the San Diego Aqueduct westerly to a point just west of the intersection section of Calle Girasol and Nicolas Road. This line intersects with the Liefar Road line. An 8-inch line extending southerly and easterly from the 8-inch line in Nicolas Road along the east side of Calle Girasol and the north side of Calle Chapos to a point just east of the intersection of Walcott Road and Calle Chapos. A 12-inch line in Calle Medusa, which extends south of its intersection with the extension Nicolas Road. This line connects to the 8-inch line in Liefer Road. 13 Prooosed Water: A number of water lines are proposed in the Study Area. A 48-inch line is proposed through the length of the Study Area along the southerly side of Nicolas Road. Intersecting this line just east of Butterfield Stage Road, is a proposed 16-inch line extending north and south of Nicolas Road. An additional 30-inch water line is proposed to connect to the existing 8-inch line which parallels Calle Girasol and Calle Chapos. The line will run south along Walcott road and north along the San Diego Aqueduct. 14 PHYSICAL The Study Area has been divided into four (4) primary areas for purposes of evaluating specific site issues. The boundaries of each area were determined by establishing a geographic boundary which reflected similar land uses, geography, drainage features or other significant environmental characteristics. A. Area I Geograohv Area 1 is in the Southwest Quadrant of the Study Area and is primarily characterized as hillside area. This Area is geographically homogeneous due to the ridgeline which forms a spine and traverse the property from the east to west. · Slopes in the area are averaging approximately 17 percent and range between 5 percent and 30 percent. This area borders the flood plain created through the convergence of the many drainage courses which enter the Study Area from the east. Parcelization Pattern The parcelization pattern is fairly uniform with respect to size throughout the area although some parcel configurations have narrow widths when compared to their depth. Road System This area includes only a portion of Nicolas Road and Calle Medusa. Only a small portion of these roads are improved. Nicolas Road is the only General Plan Circulation roadway within the area. Landform The most significant physical feature is the gently sloping ridge which generally divides the area in half from east to west. The high points which create the ridge characteristics are not significant within the context of the topographic configuration of the entire Study Area. However, the ridge does help to divert some local drainage around the Study Area to avoid further impacting the Study Area's drainage problems. 15 Sensitiviw Measure Due to the moderate scale of the area's topography and the fact it could have some effect upon the development of the area, the physical issues in this area would rate as moderate on the sensitivity scale. Area 2 Geograohv The boundaries of this area were derived from the configuration of the Valley floor, which is primarily effected by the storm water drainage course which traverses the Study Area generally along the alignment of Nicolas Road. This floodplain is probably the most significant and defining feature ~vithin the entire Study Area. The floodplain boundary is also the location of numerous master planned physical improvements identified in Section II Background, including Nicolas Road, portions of Leon Road and Butterfield Stage Road, a Class I bicycle lane and proposed water and sewer lines. SIoDes/Landform The combination of the proposed improvements discussed above are reflective of the physical characteristics embodied in the fact this area is a floodplain and relatively flat. As a low-lying area it is subject to receiving stormwater run-off from tributary areas. In addition, a low point is the logical location for the placement of facilities, such as sewer lines, which are designed based upon achieving a gravity flow. The location of the road also reflects the path of least resistance to traverse for man and vehicles. Parcelization Pattern The subdivision pattern abutting Nicolas Road reflects an intent to use the street as the primary access for existing parcels. The planned road improvements and the installation of a bicycle lane could significantly affect the use of these properties. In addition, the intent of designating Nicolas Road a 4-lane Arterial Highway is to provide a major east-west circulation link designed to carry a significant number of vehicles through this portion of the City. Allowing individual lots to maintain access to Nicolas Road would severely hamper its effectiveness to achieve this goal. 16 Road System Nicolas Road is the primary roadway within the Study Area and acts as a spine from which other portions of the Study Area can be accessed. Roadways within this area are primarily graded dirt roads. Proposed master planned streets in the area include Nicolas Road, a small portion of Calle Girasol branching south of Nicolas Road and a portion of Butterfield Stage Road which abuts the Study Area boundary. · Sensitivity Measure Due to the significant effect of the proposed improvements upon the areas existing subdivision pattern and storm water drainage courses, the existing physical issues in this area would rate high on the sensitivity scale. Area 3 Geooraohv Area 3 consists of the most northerly portion of the Study Area and abuts the Roripaugh Specific Plan to the noah and east. This area also contains the greatest amount of development within the Study Area. Slooes/Landform The topographic configuration of this area consists of an irregular sloping terrain which descends to the south. Slopes within the area range between 10 and 15 percent. Isolated high points exist but are not significant in respect to the amount of land they encompass or their height. The subdivision pattern has attempted to make the greatest use of these high points by subdividing around them and incorporating them into individual lots. Parcelization Pattern The subdivision pattern within this area is uniformly irregular except for Some of the parcels located north of Liefer Road. Some of the parcels in this area do not have access to a public street. This may not be a significant concern, however, since private streets, denoted as a lettered lot on the County Assessor maps, have been approved securing them access to public streets. 17 Road Svstem Liefer Road is the only existing public street in the area. Development within the area must obtain access from Liefer Road. Sensitivity Measure The topographic configuration in this area is not as dramatic as that contained within Area 4. As such, the hillside area is more suited to development than-Area 4. Slopes within'this area are moderately steep. However, they do not prohibit development, as evidenced by the current number of homes. No other significant physical issues exist which constrain development, such as a drainage course or flood plain. Due to these factors the effect of existing physical issues in this area would rate as moderate on the sensitivity scale. Area 4 GeograDhv/SIoDes Area 4 is located in the southeasterly portion of the Study Area. This area offers the greatest topographic variety within the Study Area since it does include a relatively flat portion of land north of Calle Chapos which transitions into moderately steep terrain as one progresses south. Landforms Within the overall setting of the Study Area the low lying area north of Calle Chapos represents a terrace or bench which sits above the actual floodplain area (Subarea 2). The high points within this area represent the highest elevations within the entire Study Area. Parcelization Pattern This area contains the most irregular shaped parcels within the Study Area, The number of "flag lots" are reflective of the area's terrain. Road Svstem This area is traversed by a number of existing roadways. Several master planned streets are also planned in the area including Butterfield Stage Road and Calle Girasol/Calle ChaposANalcott Lane which are grouped in the City General Plan as a Principle Collector Street and therefore would be the same width. Road improvements within this area would be expensive due to the existing topography. Existing drainage courses which traverse the roadways will also 18 require improvement. The combination of Calle Girasol/Calle Chapos/Walcott Lane is to be improved to an interim condition consisting of a 2-lane roadway within 32 feet of paving. Construction is scheduled to start in the Spring of 1995. Sensitivity Measure This area represents the greatest change in topographic elevation in the Study Area. The level-of improvements necessary for both existing and proposed roads are also probably the most extensive, based upon the length of the roadways. Due to these factors the physical issues affecting development in this area would be rated as high on the sensitivity scale. 19 VI. ENVIRONMENTAL The previous section identified physical issues related to each primary geographic area of the Study Area. The purpose of this section is to focus upon and identify those environmental issues which are significant within each Subarea. A. Area I General Character This area is the entry point to the Study Area and was formed as a remainder area created by the residential development to the southeast, the floodplain to the north and the project boundary to the south. As such, the predominate feature of this area is the sloping hillside ridge which slices through the area. BioloQical Resources The most significant environmental component of this area is the location of a small Coastal Sage-Scrub community located just to the west of Calle Medusa. It is unknown at this time whether any threatened or endangered species exist in this area. Drainaoe Characteristics As noted in the previous discussion on physical issues, the topographic configuration of the hillsides helps to divert drainage around the Study Area. This drainage course is only partially within the Study Area and does not possess significant environmental attributes. Sensitivity Measure Due to the isolated location of the Coastal Sage-Scrub, the relatively minimal site area it effects, and the lack of other environmental factors, the environmental issues within this area Would rate low on the sensitivity scale. B. Area 2 General Character The southerly boundary of this area generally borders the floodplain while the northerly portion primarily reflects a transition in grade (grade break) from the flat valley floor to the sloping hillsides. 20 Bioloaical Resources/Drainage Characteristics The most significant environmental feature of this area is the drainage course. outlined by the floodplain boundary. The drainage course is comprised of two {2) blue line streams which not only signify significant drainage courses but also the potential existence of various biological resources such as plants and trees or animals which use the vegetation for habitat. It is unknown at this time whether any threatened or endangered species exist in this Subarea. Sensitivity Measure The most significant environmental factor within the Study Area is the floodplain and its associated environmental attributes, which can act as a life source for plants and a resulting habitat for animals. In addition, the floodplain represents both a significant danger to development and a significant cost tO overcome. Due to these environmental factors, the environmental issues within this area would rate high on the sensitivity scale. Area 3 General Character The easterly boundary of this area is formed by the City limits with the northerly boundary abutting the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The area contains a fairly irregular slope pattern. Biological Resources The most significant environmental aspect of this area is the extensive amount of land covered by Coastal Sage-Scrub which occurs primarily within the north half of the area. In addition, the Coastal Sage-Scrub overlaps an area located at the northwest corner of the area that has been identified as having the potential for paleontaological (pre-historic) resources. Drainage Characteristics The topographic configuration of the area has created several notable drainage courses'through the area. These drainage courses are not identified as blue line streams On the U.S.G.So map and therefore do not represent the same level of stormwater run-off or potential vegetation as other drainage areas within Study Area. 21 Sensitivity Measure Due to the extensive existence of Coastal Sage-Scrub, the potential existence of paleontological artifacts, and drainage concerns, the environmental issues within this area would rate as moderate on the sensitivity scale. Area 4 General Character This area is reflective of many features within the Study Area in that it contains flat land as well as relatively steep slopes. Since Area 4 represents an area with both floodplain and hillside characteristics, it is appropriate that it contain attributes found in both. Biological Resources That portion of the area south of Calle Chapos and primarily east of Walcott Road contains a fairly large geographical area with Coastal Sage-Scrub. It is unknown whether any threatened or endangered species exist in this area. Drainage Characteristics That portion of the area north of Calle Chapos contains a blue line stream which represents the drainage course which traverses the area and connectsto the defined floodplain along Nicolas Road to the north. The blue line stream is parallel to or within the same alignment as Calle Chapos. SensitiVity Measure The significance of drainage issues and the designation of blue line streams have been previously noted. Due to these and the other environmental factors noted, the environmental issues within this area would rate as high on the sensitivity scale. 22 VII. LAND USE ALTERNATIVES For the purposes of evaluating land use intensities within the Study Area, a series of 13 Subareas have been formed. Each Subarea is geographically distinct due'to its unique characteristics, such as major roadways, parcel configurations or/and Study Area limitations. To help understand the relationship between the previous four (4) geographic areas represented in the opportunities and constraints analysis and the new Subareas, please refer to the following comparison: Opportunity end Constraint Areas Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Land Use Alternative Subareas I, J, and portions of F and G H and portions of C, D, E, F and G A, B and portions of D and E K, L, M and a portion of J The combination of various physical and environmental issues, including the influence of potential development, warranted this reconfiguration and further analysis of the study area. A. Land Use Alternatives. The approach to evaluating various land use intensities is based upon the previously compjeted opportunity and constraints analysis and a further analysis of potential access alignments throughout the Study Area. The delineation of each land use alternative is sensitive to the issues raised in those previous sections. Four (4) different residential parcel sizes have been utilized in developing each land use alternative starting with the existing zoning of R-R 2 1/2 acre minimum, and transitioning to R-R I acre minimum, R-R 1/2 acre minimum, and R-R 1/4 acre minimum lot sizes. Starting with a existing base of 260 allowable units for the area (based upon the existing zoning), Alternatives A, B, and C would intensify the tot. al lot count to 742 lots, 944 lots, and 1888 lots, respectively (see Table 1 and Exhibits 4, 5 and 6). The three alternative land use intensities were chosen in order to generate varying unit counts within the Study Area. The goal of generating these alternative intensities is to establish a method of distributing the cost of road and storm drain improvements for the Study Area among the existing and/or future residents and to identify those dollar values: 23 As part of. this analysis existing and future improvement programs for the Study Area were also evaluated. This includes the future disposition of the Roripaugh Specific Plan, which boarders Nicolas Valley to the north and east, as well as the character of the existing surrounding land uses. Preliminary Cost Evaluation ' NBS/Lowry approached the cost analysis as a preliminary means of evaluating the relative costs of required infrastructure. The major infrastructure elements considered in the cost analysis included the major roads and drainage facilities required by the City of Temecula General Plan and necessary to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the local community. The roads included a half section of Nicolas Road, a half section of Butterfield Stage Road, a. half section of Leon Road, and a full section of Liefer Road. The drainage improvements included in the analysis were the (3) three blue line streams which traverse the property from east to west, as well as a half portion of the bridge necessary for a crossing near the intersection of Nicolas Road and Calle Girasol. Three (3) different types of channels were considered for evaluation; a naturalized channel, a dirt sided trapezoidal channel, and a concrete sided trapezoidal channel. Each type of channel has significant cost and land area implications. The principle difference in design is between the trapezoidal channel and the naturalized channel. Examples of the designs are evident in both the Study Area and adjoining properties. The Study Area has an improved concrete/riprap sided trapezoidal channel along the north side of Nicolas Road at the southwesterly entrance to the Study Area. The proposed Roripaugh Specific Plan, located easterly and upstream of the Study Area, proposes the use of naturalized channels for each of the existing blue line streams. The Temecula General Plan also included a Class I bicycle trail along the north side of Nicolas Road which could be aligned with the existing drainage course or proposed drainage facilities. Due to the potential dual functions of these channels it was deemed appropriate to include more than one type of channel improvement cost. 24 The relative costs of these improvements and their associated cost allocation would range as follows:' Roadway costs would generally vary between $300.00 and $800.00 per unit per annualized assessment. Drainage costs would generally vary between $100.00 and $1,300.00 per acre per annualized assessment depending upon the type of channel design selected. These costs are preliminary in nature and are only intended to identify potential improvement costs such that property owners and decision- makers will have a general understanding of the implications of different land use decisions. These do not represent preliminary engineering studies for assessment district purposes. 25 NICOLAS VALLEY LAND USE _AI,TERNATIVE LEGENDS A 88.0 2 112 35 B 35.0 1.0 35 C 30.0 112 ~0 D 21.0 1]2 42 E 72.0 11'2 144 F 40.0 lf2 80 G 16.0 I~2 ~ H 80.0 112 1~0 I 79.0 1.0 79 J 20.0 2 1/~ 8 K 55.0 2 112 ~'~ L 78.0 2 1/2 31 M 34.0 2 l f2 13 649.0 742 A 88.0 1.0 88 B 3&0 112 72 C 30.0 1/2 (g) D 21.0 112 42 E T2.0 1/2 14~ F 40.0 1t2 80 G l&O 1F2 32 H 80.0 1/2 1~0 I 79.0 1.0 ~ I 20.0 1.0 20 K 55.0 1.0 55 L 78.0 1.0 78 M 34.0 1.0 34 649.0 944 AL'I'I~Ii.NATIVE C A,~ z~,y D.U.', I 88.0 1/2 176 3&0 1/4 144 ~0.0 1/4 120 21.0 1/4 84 T2.0 1/4 288 40.0 1~. 1~0 l&0 1/4 80.0 1/4 320 ~9.0 IF2 158 20.0 1F2 40 55.0 112 110 78.0 112 156 ~4.0 1]2 649.0 1888 TABLE I ,~ zo e VIII. CONCLUSION The purpose of this study was to undertake an additional level of analysis, beyond that recently completed for the new General Plan, to define the area's future land use. The current General Plan Land Use designation for the Study Area is VL (Very Low Density, .2 to .4 units per acre). A variety of goals, objectives, and policies are contained in the City's General Plan which currently have an affect upon the use of land within the Study Area. However, the City felt the unique attributes of the Study Area warranted further analysis prior to assigning a more appropriate land use designation. The Study Area is affected by a broad range of issues due to its location, current use, and adjacent uses. The documentation contained in the previous sections has identified those issues in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the area. Although some potentially significant environmental issues exist, such as drainage and topography, they do not represent constraints severe enough to restrain development to a level less than the adjoining residential areas. In addition, several workshops have been held with area residents to obtain their input on the potential use of the area. The majority of residents in attendance at the meetings expressed a desire that the level of development allowed within the Study Area remain at or near the level currently permitted. The latter portion of the report contained development intensity and improvement cost information in an effort to link the improvements required by the General Plan and/or new development to the ability to pay for the cost of construction. If the City is to further the circulation and associated drainage improvements specified in the Temecula General Plan, a proportional level of development will need to occur which can bear the financial burden of paying for the cost of construction. The cost will generally lessen for more intensive development due to the ability to spread the cost over a greater number of people and/or the property owners will realize a greater value and potential profit for their land. Recommendation Due to the intensification of the land surrounding the Study Area and the need to maintain the goals, objectives and policies of City's General Plan, it is recommended: The Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the Nicolas Valley Study Area be allowed to intensify to permit lots 1/4 acre and larger, consistent with Land Use Alternative C.

We are very much against idea of rezoning the area for parcels smaller than two and one-half (2 1/2) acres and the idea of creating an assessment district to pay for improvements caused by the rezoning. My wife and I, both born and raised in the Riverside/SanBernardino area, purchased our property consisting of 3.79 acres in 1976 with the intent of building a residence on it to retire to. Like us, the people who own property on the east end of Nicholas Road are either retired persons on fixed incomes or families trying to raise children. Along with all the fees incurred by being annexed into the city of Temecula, imposing additional assessments on the property, whether by the parcel or the acre, will either break the backs of these owners or make it very hard to find a buyer for the property if and when they decide to sell. To be honest with you, our bottom line is leave us alone - we are comfortable with they w~y th~qgs are! Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Thank you for setting up the meetings to obtain the opinion of the property owners in the Nicolas Valley. While I appreciate the effort to derive three scenarios for development in the area, I think all three missed the mark. This group of diverse property owners cannot be treated as a few major land developers. What you basically offered was a trade of potential zoning for development fees, the usual kind of deal with developers. While developers see this as a business deal, most homeowners surely cannot, especially ff they like the land that they have as is. In addition, the improvements offered were sanply not much of a benefit. We should not need improve Nicolas Road, when the main collectors are Calle Girasol and Liefer Roads, both of which will soon be paved regardless. We should also not try to turn flood plains into housing tracts by lining the creeks at great cost and then creating liquefaction problems. This is not what the people in the area want, even the ones who own property for speculative purposes. It's no wonder that llnle interest was shown in your proposals. These proposal would increase the tax burden for many years in exchange for potential financial gain that cant be realized until the property is cut up. I also do not agree that a consensus was reached for all Nicolas Valley landowners at the meeting. Many of the lot owners were absentees and could not make the meeting. I know that some of them bought property they expected to be able to split in order to finance dream houses or make retirement more comfortable. We did not hear from these folks. ff this area is develop into an quality rural residential neighborhood, the current very low density zoning must be changed. The currently developed properties are quite varied, and for this reason the area cannot support mansions of the type in Santiago Ranchos which have the same minimum lot size. The problem now is that the land has litfie value since dwelling units cannot be constructed without the major expense of bring an all-weather road from the unit to existing all-weather road. When Calle Girasol/Calle Chapos and Liefer are paved, the land will become more vainable, making it feasible to build higher quality homes, one of the few viable land uses since small projects with inexpensive homes could not compete with the major subdivisions. Given the varied owners, from land speculators to fixed income retirees, the usual developer-city bargaining cannot be followed. I propose a different approach based on the following: 1. Let the creeks be creeks and make no special effort to turn flood plain.q into housing tracts. The highest density shown in your proposals was in the flood plains (since they are flat) when actually many of the lots should have zero density unless the owner performs remedialion as a condition to development. 2. Allow zoningfrom 1/'2 to 2 1/2 acres in the General Ran depending on the specific topography of the pwperty and the willingness of the owner to perform the necessary remedialion. Don't tie the general plan to improvements at the start, but mandate impwvements as a requ'n'ement for lot splits to less than the current 2 1/2 acres. 3. The improvements to Nicolas Road should be borne by the mega developments proposed by Ro~paugh and Johnson. They will have thousands of houses that would routinely use this road compared to a few residences in the Nicolas Valley that really need the road. 4. Other than the soon-to-be completed improvements on Calle Girasol/Calle Chapos and Liefer R0ad~ let property owners be responsible for them. Most of these will be short sections of road affecting only a relatively few properties. The existing t~quixements for paved, all-weather access for new dwellings is sufficient to enforce the needed improvements. 5. If further improvements are required, collect fees per lot as a part of the split process and put them in as they can financed. I hope that you will consider the points raised. I think most of us property owners in the Nicolas Valley, especially those of us who live here now, want the area to remain rural in nature. I hope that you, the other planners, the Planning Commission, and the City council take this into account and provide us with the needed flexibility to create the neighborhood that we desire. Please don't rush to a decision. Let absentee landowners (which I am contacted to upd~t~ the situation) have their say. If at all possible, any decision should be made after the paving of the collector roatt~. Without your help, the Nicolas V alley will stagnate, with your help it will develop into a high quality residential area that the City can he proud of. Temecula, CA 92591 cc: Planning Commission
