The formal application submittal was completed on December 18, 1997. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on January 8, 1998. The project was deemed complete on February 3, 1998. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of the design, construction and operation of 67,002 square feet of industrial space and associated improvements such as hardscape, parking, landscaping and roadways. Hardscape improvements include: walkways, driveways, parking areas and drainage facilities. Landscape improvements include: parking lot, planting areas, and street scape. The project is being constructed speculatively to meet the demand for mid-size industrial users. ANALYSIS Access. Traffic and Circulation The project takes access by three driveways from Business Park Drive, with the southernmost driveway already existing. Handicapped accessibility from the existing meandering sidewalk is proposed via four walkways, each to the main entrances at both ends of the two buildings. A circular access drive accommodates the six truck loading docks which are located in the rear of both buildings. The project is designed with ample circulation for customers, employees and truck traffic. R:\STAFFKF1M31PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 2 Site Design With loading and unloading activities concentrated at the rear of the site, the project provides an attractive streetscape with a minimum 36 foot building setback from face of curb. The design will preserve the existing parkway of trees, turf and mounding as well as add additional planrings and monumentation to match the theme established for the business park. The site design can accommodate the future realignment of Business Park Drive proposed to tie into Diaz Road near the south boundary of the project site. The applicant's engineer has met with the City's Engineering staff in order to draft a feasible intersection design that will not affect the location of buildings or the amount of parking spaces on the project site. Architecture The applicant's architect has designed the buildings to fit the changing width of the project site, offering an interesting frontage of building indents and shadows, with a predominant use of blue-green glass. Building reveals and accent colors are carried around to all four sides of the structure. Landscaoing Continuous planters along the building sides break up the massing. Perimeter landscaping includes existing planrings and additional shrubs to fully screen, shade and enhance the site. In order to construct the two additional driveways, ten eucalyptus and seven plum trees will be removed. As replacement, the applicant's landscape architect proposes twelve 36" boxed trees at key visual locations along the building entrances and in front of the loading docks. The applicant has blended existing plantings, both onsite and surrounding the site, with new planrings that are in scale with and accent the proposed buildings. Floor Area Ratio At a floor area ratio of 42.8%, the project exceeds the target of 40%, but is within the range of 40 to 150% for business parks. According to the General Plan, it is the intent of the Business Park designation to "develop well designed business and employment centers that offer attractive and distinctive architectural design, innovative site planning, and substantial landscaping and visual quality." It is staff's opinion that the project meets this intent. The City's Development Code provides industrial incentives that allow for an increase in the floor area ratio, where the Planning Commission may consider certain factors in determining whether an increase in the intensity is justified. These factors could include the applicant's plan to meet the demands of mid-size industrial users, the exceptional architectural and landscape design amenities which reflect an attractive image and character for the City, or the applicant's willingness to work with the City's Engineering staff to design the realignment of Business Park Drive. The applicant Charles Sher has submitted a letter to the Planning Commission dated February 3, 1998 addressing his request for consideration, which is included in this staff report as Attachment No. 5. R:',STAFFP, PT~31PA97,PC 2/19/98 vgw 3 Correspondence Received No public response to the Notice of Public Hearing has been received either by phone or mail regarding this project. EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is BP (Business Park). Existing zoning for the site is LI (Light Industrial). Manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and corporate office uses are permitted with the approval of a development plan pursuant to Chapter 17,05 of the Development Code. The project as proposed is consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION An Initial Study has been prepared for this project. The Initial Study determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to mitigation measures contained in the project design and in the Conditions of Approval for the project. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS The project as proposed meets all requirements of the General Plan and Development Code. The architecture and site design is consistent with and enhances the quality of existing buildings within the Rancho California Business Park. Landscaping is proposed to screen and heighten the attractiveness of the site, blending existing and new plantings. Any potentially significant environmental impacts have been reduced to insignificant levels by the mitigation measures contained in the Conditions of Approval. FINDINGS The project is in conformance with the General Plan and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City. The project meets the intent and is consistent with the Business Park designation of the General Plan. The project is also consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Mt, Palomar Lighting Ordinance) and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions. The project is consistent with the LI - Light Industrial Zoning on the site, which permits manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and corporate office uses. The development of the site is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. The project complies with the development standards of the LI - Light Industrial zone adopted to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community. The project is suitable for the site because it accommodates all structures, right-of-way, parking, landscaping and circulation for the site. R:\STAFFP, PT~431pAg"/.PC 2/19/98 vgw 4 An Initial Study was prepared for the project and it has been determined that although the project could have a significant impact on the environment, these effects are not considered to be significant due to the mitigation measures contained in the project design and in the Conditions of Approval added to the project. The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, or to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site has been previously disturbed and graded, and streetscape installed on site. There are no native species of plants or vegetation at the site, nor any indication that any wildlife species exist, or that the site serves as a migration corridor. A DeMinimus impact finding can be made for this project. Attachments: 2. 3. 4. PC Resolution - Blue Page 6 A.

There are a wide range of uses pursuant to the City of Temecula Development Code Chapter 17.08 which may ha permitted m the two proposed speculative buildings. Vcri~cation that each tenant's use is consistent with the Development Code is required prior to the issuance of a Certificate ofOccupancy. With mitigation measures mplace, no significant impacts are anticipated. l.b. The project will not conflict with applicable environmemal plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Designation of LI (Light Industrial). Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed m the Environmental Impact Report for (EIR) the General Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope of the analysis contained in the EIR. and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIK will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportumty to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the project relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The project site has been previously graded and services have been extended into the area. There will be limited, if any environmental effects on environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. The proposed project is compatible with surrounding light industrial uses within the Rancho California Business Park where the site is located. No significant impacts are anticipated. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established commumty (including low-income or minority community). The project site is vacant. There is no established residential coramunity (including low-income or minority commumty) at this site. Furthermore, the site is a industrially zoned property that does not allow residential developments. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. Population and Hou~in, g The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The project floor area ratio falls within the range of development intensity/density standards outlined in the General Plan. However, it does exceed the floor area ratio target established for its zone by .028. Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and is intended to serve the needs of the existing residents, the proposed development will not be a significant conu'ibutor to population growth which will comulatively exc_-__~__ offmial regional or local population projections. Less than significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.b. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistentwiththeGeneralPlanLandUseDesignationofLightInduslrial. The project will may likely cause people to relocate to or within Temecula, but due to its size in the impact is not considered to be significant. The project will not displace any type of housing. The project site is vacant, industrially zoned property; therefore no housing will be displaced. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. R:XSTAFFRFr~31PA97.PC 2119198 ~ 29 Geologic Problems f,g~n. The pwject may have a significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. The project is located in Southern California, an area which is seismically active, and is located within the Elsinore Fault Zone, near the Mumeta Creek Fault and in the vicinity of the Wildomar Fault. A Fault Hazard Investigation was prepared August 5, 1997 to determine potential geologic and seismic hazards within the 3.6 acre site. The investigation included literature research, aerial photograph review, field mapping and subsurface investigation. No indications of faulting on the subject property were found during this study. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Soils reports will contain recommendations for the compae~on of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failore (including liquefaction), erosion, changes in topography or unstable soft conditions fxom excavation, grading or fill and expansive soils. Increased wind and water erosion of soils both on and off-site may occur during the construction phase of the project and the project may result in changes in siltation, deposition or erosion. Erosion control techniques will be included as a condition of approval for the project. In the long-m, hardscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for the project. Modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be ennsidered significant since modifications will be consistent with the surrounding development. Potemial unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill will be mitigated through the use of landscaping and proper compaction of the soils. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.d The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunmm or volcanic hazard. The project is not located in an area where any of these hazards could occur. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.e The project will not expose people to landslides or mudflows. The Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan has not identified any known landslides or mudslides located on the site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.i. The project will not impact unique geologic or physical features. No unique geologic features or physical features exist on the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Water The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate end mount of surface runoff; however, these changes are considered less than significant. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. While absorption rates and surface nmoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoffwhich is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result f this project. 4.b. The project will not have a impact to people or property to water related hazards such as flooding because the project site is not located in a flood zone or floodway. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4.c. The project may have a potentially significant effect on discharges into surface waters and alteration of surface water quality. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project, the developer will be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System R:~STAFFRPT~431PA97.I~C 2119198 vgw 30 (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Boar& No grading shall be permitted until an NPDES Notice of intent has been filed or the project is shown to be exempt. By complying with the NPDES requirements, any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. The project will have a less than significant impact m a change in the amount of surface water in any waterbody or impact currents, or to the course or direction of water movements. Additional surface nmoffwill occur bec__~use previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying bardscape and driveways. Due to the limited scale of the project, the additional amount of drainage will not be considered significant. 4.f-h. The project will have a less than significant change in the quantity and quality of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aqulfer by cuts or excavations or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability. Limited changes will occur in the quantity and quality of ground waters; however, due to the minor scale of the project, it will not be considered significant. Further, conswuction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. 4.i. The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater water otherwise available for public water supplies. According to information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan, "Rancho California Water District indicate that they can aecormnodate additional water demands." Water service currently exists in the immediate proximity to the project. Water service will need to be provided by Rancho Califorma Water District (RCWD). This is typically provided upon completion of financial arrangements between RCWD and the property owner. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The project at 67,002 square feet is below the threshold for potentially significant air quality unpact (276,000 square feet) established by South Coast Air Quality Management District (Page 6-11, Table 6-2 of the South Coast Air Quality Management CEQA Air Quality Handbook). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.b. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants. There are no significant pollutants in proximity to the project nor is it anticipated that the project will generate pollutants. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project, The project will not alter air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The limited scale of the project precludes it from creating any significant impacts on the environment in this area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.d. The project may create objectional odors during the coustmction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. The project is designed to meet the requirements of the Development Code and its environmental standards. Trartsportation/Circulation The project will result in a less than significant increase in vehicle trips; however it will add to traffic congestion. It is anticipated that this project will contribute less than a five percent (5%) increase in existing volumes during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour time frames to the intersections of Ynez Road and Winchester Road. The applicant will be required to pay development impact fees that will be nsad to address the need for traffic signals and public facilities. R:XSTAFFRPT~431PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 31 6.b. The project will not result in hazards to safety from design features. The project is designed to current City standards and does not propose any hazards to safety from design f~atures. The project has also been designed to accornmedate the futur~ realignment of Business Park Drive to intersect with Diaz Road, thereby enhancing traffic safety in the business park. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.c. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. No significant impacts arc anticipate~l as a result of this project. 6.d. The project will have sufficient parking capacity on-site because its design is in compliance with the City's Development Code pafidng requirements. As a result, off-site parking will not be impacted. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists. Hazards or barriers to bicyclists have not been included as part of the project. The applicant shall provide bicycle racks and motorcycle spaces for the eonvemance of employees and customers who chose alternative transportation. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The proposed development does not impede the utilization or development of policies supporting alternative modes of transportation. The design of the project includes spaces for motorcycles and bicycles. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.g, The project will not result in impacts to rail, waterborne or air traffic since none exists currently in the immediate proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Biological Resources The project will not result in an impact to endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats, including, but not limited to plants, fish, insects, animals and birds. The project site has been previously graded. Currently, there are no native species of plants, no tmique, rare, threatened or endangered species of plants, no native vegetation on or adjacent to the site. Further, there is no indication that any wildlife species exist at this location. The project will not reduce the number of species, provide a barfier to the migrafion ofanimals or deteriorate existing habitat. The project site is located within the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Habitat Fee Area. Habitat Conservation fees will be required to mitigate the effect of cumulative impacts to the species. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.b. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated species. Locally designated species are protected in the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan; however, they are not protected elsewhere in the City. Since this project is not located in Old Town, and since there are no locally designated species on site, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated natural commumties. Reference response 7.b. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 7.d. The project will not result in an impact to wetland habitat. There is no wetland habitat on-site or within proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:\STAFFRFIM31PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 32 7,e. The project will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site does not serve as part of a migration corridor. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project, Energy and Mineral Resources 8.a. The project will not impact and/or conflict with adopted energy conservation plans. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to energy conservation during the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 8.b. The project will result in a less than significant impact for the use of non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. There will be an increase in the ram of use of any natural resource during construction (construction mamrials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) as well as the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s) and the subsequent depletion of these non-renewable natural resources. Due to the scale of the proposed development, these impacts are not seen as significant. The project will not result in the loss of avail ability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State. No known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State are located at this project site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. The project will not result in a risk of explosion, or the release of any hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset conditions since none are proposed in the request. The same is true for the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic mateddais. Large quantities of these types of substances will not be associated with this use. The Department of Environmental Health has reviewed the project and the applicant must receive their clearance prior to any plan check subnuttal. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No sigmficant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.b. The project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evaluation plan. The subject site is not located in an area which could impact an emergency response plan. The project will take access from a maintained street end will therefore not impede any emergency response or emergency evacuation plans. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.c. The project will not result in the creation of any health hazard or potential health heard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws dunng the plan check stage. No permits will be issued unless the project is found to be consistent with these applicable laws. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.d. The project will not expose people to existing sources of potential health hazards. No health hazards are known to be within proximity of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.e. The project will not result in an increase to fire hazard in an area with ~ammablc brush, grass, or trees. The project is in an area that has been mass graded and development already exists to the west and north. The project is not located within or proximate to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:\STAFFRFIM31PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 33 Noise lO.a. The proposal will result in a less than significant increase to existing noise levels. The site is currently vacant and development of the land logically will result in increases to noise levels during construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Long-term noise generated by {his project would be similar to or less than the existing condo project to the east and the day care facility to the north, and proposed commercial uses in the munediate area. Less than significant noise impacts are anticipated as a result of this project in either the short or long-term. 10.b. The project may expose people to severe noise levels during the development/construction phase (short run). Construelion machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause hearing damage from steady g-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. There will be no long- term exposure of people to noise. Public Services ll.a, b. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered fire or police protection. The project will incrementally increase the need for fire and police protection; however, it will conWibute its fair share to the maintenance of service provision from these entities. ll.c. The project will have a less than significant impact upon, or result in a need for new or altered school facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula, and therefore, will not result in a need for new or altered school facilities. ll.d. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Funding for maintenance of roads is derived from the Gasoline Tax which is distributed to the City of Temeeula from the State of California. Impacts to current and future needs for maintenance of roads as a result of development of the site will be incremental, however, they will not be considered significant. The Gasoline Tax is sufficient to cover any of the proposed expenses. 11 .e. The project will not have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered governmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities and Service Svstems 12.a. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. These systems are curren~y being delivered in proximity to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.b. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to communication systems (reference response No. 12.a.). No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.c. The project will not result in the need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:\STAFFRFTx.431PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 34 12.d. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sanitary ,sew~ systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Envh'onmental Impact Report ffEIR) for the City's General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in theh' services areas (p. 59)." The FEIR further states: "implementa~on of the proposed General Plan would not signi~canfiy impact wsstewater serviws (p. 40)." Since the project is consistent with the City's General Plan, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. There are no septic tanks on site or proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.e. The proposal will result in a less than significant need for new system or supplies, or substantial alterations to storm water drainage. The project will need to provide some additional on-site drainage systems. The drainage system will be required as a condition of approval for the project and will tie into the existing system. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.f The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to solid waste disposal systems. Any potential impacts fi'om solid waste created by this development can be mitigated through participation in any Source Reduction and Recycling Programs which are implemented by the City. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.g. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional water supphes. Reference response 12.d No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthetics 13.a. The project will not have an impact on a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in an area where there is a scenic vista. Further, the City does not have any designated scenic highways. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.b. The project will not have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect. The site is in an area of existing light indnsmal uses, as well as adjacent vacant property that is of similar zoning. The design review process of the proposed development has mitigated the potential significant visual impacts to the adjacent developments through compliance with the Development Code and through the use of colors and landscaping that are compatible with existing construction in the area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. The project will have a potentially significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in light/glare, as all development of this nature results in new light sources. All light and glare has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory. The project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light Pollution). After mitigation, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 14.a- The project will not have an impact on paleontological, archaeological or historical resources. The site has been disturbed from prior grading activity and any impacts to these resources would have been mitigated during the grading process. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 14.d. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values. Reference response 14.a,c. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. R:\STAFFRFIM31pA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 35 14.c. The project will not t~stxict existing religious or sacred uses within th~ potential impact at~a. No religious or sacred uses exist at the site or are proximate to the site. No significant impa~ts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 15. The project will have a less than significant impact or increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The project w~l not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula, but will primarily serve the needs of the existing residents. However, it will result in an incremental impact or in an increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. The same is U'ue for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or opportunities, R:XSTAFFRFI~431PA97.PC 2/19/98 vgw 36 ATTACHMENT NO. 3 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM R:\STAFFILrIM31PA97.PC 2/19/98 vF 37 Mitigation Monitoring Program Planning Application No. PA97-0431 (Development Plan) Land Use and Planning General Impact: Mitigation Measure: Specific Process: Mitigation Milestone: Responsible Dept: Conflict with general plan designation and zoning.

The Temecula Business park will consist of two attractive concrete tiltup buildings featuring blue reflective glass, a crisp white exterior and extensive landscaping. These buildings are designed to accommodate higher end users who will employ wage earners on the upper scale, Our site coverage is 39.5% based on the building footprints. When adding in the second floor area, the floor area coverage of the site is 42.8%. Utilizing second floor for additional square footage allows us to use a smaller building footprint which in turn creates more landscaping and a more open feeling to the project. We request you grant approval of our project as submitted for the following reasons: 1. The project is above average in its' architectural design 2. The project will provide additional landscaped areas due to a smaller building footprim. 3. As a result of the location and amenities above, the project should attract higher-end users resulting in a benefit to the community. We look forward to cominue our excellent relationship with the City and bring more quahty projects to Temecula. Very truly yours. Charles J.
