Building Height: Thirty (30') feet BACKGROUND A pre-application meeting was held on May 21, 1998. A formal application submittal was submitted on June 18, 1998. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on July 15, 1998, with staff providing written comments on July 23, 1998. The project was deemed complete on August 10, 1998. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of the design, construction and operation of an one-story office, 16,656 sq. ft. office, warehouse and manufacturing building on an one (1) acre site with associated improvements, such as hardscape, parking, landscaping and drive aisles. Landscape improvements include: parking lot, planter areas, and streetscape. The applicant is also requesting a minor exception permit to allow the parking to be reduced by two (2) parking spaces. The applicant proposes to expand and relocate his business, Creative Components, from its existing location on Business Park Drive to the Winchester Business Park. ANALYSIS Site Desicln The project is sited on a rectangular parcel with the building located on the east property line. The loading space is located on the west side of the building, parking is dispersed on the west and south sides. A wood trellis shade structure is provided at the southeast corner of the lot for an employee outdoor lunch area. The site design is compatible with existing development in the area. Access, Traffic and Circulation The project takes access from one driveway off of Winchester Road. There is parking and vehicular circulation on the west and south sides of the building. The applicant is requesting a minor exception permit to the parking requirements to allow a reduction to the minimum parking requirements by two (2) parking spaces. The Development Code requires a minimum of 29 parking spaces for this size of building given the various square footages of office, manufacturing and warehouse uses. The project is provided 17 standard spaces, 8 compact spaces and 6 extra bicycle spaces. Pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.24.040 F(5), bicycle spaces can be counted as fulfilling the off-street parking requirements at the rate of three bicycle spaces for one vehicle space up to six bicycle parking spaces (in addition to the minimum bicycle space requirements). The applicant is proposing six extra bicycle spaces which allow a credit of 2 vehicle parking spaces. The building is specifically being built to accommodate the applicanrs furniture manufacturing business that has minimal need for on-site customer parking. The applicant has stated that the majority of his business is manufacturing and warehouse which requires a large amount of floor space. In addition, the applicant stated that he has 15 employees, two of which ride bicycles to work and some employees carpool. The applicant feels that his business would not utilize the 25 parking spaces being provided even as the business expands. Staff communicated to the owner and his representatives that if his business were to vacate the building any future business would be restricted to a use that would require no more than 27 parking spaces (unless a minor exception permit for a parking reduction was reviewed and granted). Staff feels that the minor exception permit to allow a reduction of two parking spaces should be granted given the parking needs for the applicant's business, and the fact that the twenty seven parking spaces being provided could accommodate another business which requires a large amount of warehouse space. Architecture The building will be tilt-up concrete with smooth, painted panels with painted accent colors. The applicant proposes to highlight the office entry along Winchester Road with a projected, covered entry with extensive blue glazing, accent painting and heavy landscaping. The entry also contains a curved column at the northwest comer of the entry that adds visual interest. Staff has worked very closely with the applicant and the architect to ensure a quality design while balancing the owner's operational needs. To add visual interest and articulation to the elevations, the architect has provided varying roof heights, building recessions on the west and north elevations, a covered entry on the west elevation, the heavy use of painted reveals, and various paint colors. Because the east elevation is on the property line, there will be no landscaping to help soften this elevation which is visible from Winchester Road. Therefore, the architect continued the design and articulation to this elevation with varying roof heights, heavy reveals and accent painting. There is a wrought iron security fence proposed from the landscape planter on the west property line and the loading area for security reason. The applicant is showing a proposed sign envelope on the north elevation, but no precise signage is being approved with this building. As proposed, the structure is compatible with the existing buildings in the area in terms of colors, materials, height, bulk and mass. Landscapinq Twenty-one percent (21%) of the site has been landscaped. The landscaping provided meets the twenty percent minimum landscaping requirement in the LI (Light Industrial) zone and has been distributed very effectively throughout the site, There is an approximately 46' x 53' landscaped area with ten tress at the northeast corner of the site which helps to define the main entry and soften the front elevation. There is also a 15' landscape planter area along the entire south property line and a seven (7) foot planter along the entire western property line. These planters will soften the west elevation and provide a buffer between the existing buildings to the south. Landscape fingers are proposed on the west and south sides to help break-up the parking lot paving. The proposed street tree (London Plane) is consistent with the existing street tress in the surrounding area, Moreover, trees have been provided along the western property line to help soften the west elevation, The Development Code allows a zero side yard setback in the industrial zone; therefore no landscaping is proposed on the east elevation. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed the landscape plan and the applicant has addressed comments on the plan. 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/office/warehouse 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. R\STAFFRPT~270PA98PC DOC 4 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION An Initial Study has been prepared forthis 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. SUMMARWCONCLUSIONS The project is the design and construction of a 16,656 square foot one-story, warehouse/industrial/manufacturing building, assodated parking and landscaping on one acre. The applicant is proposing a minor exception permit to allow the reduction of the parking requirements by two (2) spaces. Staff feels there are conditions present that warrant approval of the minor exception permit. With the approval of the minor exception, the project is consistent with the Design Guidelines, Development Code and the General Plan. FINDINGS The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City. The project is consistent with all City Ordinances including: the City's Development Code, Ordinance No. 655 (Mt. Palomar Lighting Ordinance), and the City's Water Efficient Landscaping provisions. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. The project as proposed complies with all City Ordinances and meets the standards adopted by the City of Temecula designed for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. 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: PC Resolution - Blue Page 7 A.

City of Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. 3. South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook. 4. City of Temecula Development Code DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Land Use and Planning 1 .a,b The preject will not conflict with applicable envirenmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project. The project is consistent with the Citys General Plan Land Use Designation of BP (Business Park). Impacts from all General Plan Land Use Designations were analyzed in fie Envirenmental ImpactReport for (EIR) the Generel Plan. Agencies with jurisdiction within the City commented on the scope ofthe analysis contained in the EIR and how the land uses would impact their particular agency. Mitigation measures approved with the EIR will be applied to this project. Further, all agencies with jurisdiction over the project are also being given the opportunity to comment on the project and it is anticipated that they will make the appropriate comments as to how the prejeot relates to their specific environmental plans or polices. The site has been previously greded and services within preximity of the preject. There will be limited, if any environmental effects on environmental plans or polices adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the preject. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 1 .c,e. The project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including low- income or minority community). The project is a manufacturing/warehouse/office use in an area surrounded by land that is currently planned to be developed with similar uses. There is no established residential community (including low-income or minodty community) at this site. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. Population and Housing 2.a. The project will not cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. The preject is an industrial/office/warehouse use which is consistent with the City's Generel Plan Land Use Designation of Business Park. Since the preject is consistent with the Citys General Plan, and does not exceed the floor area ratio for Business Park, it will not be a significant contributor to population growth which will cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this preject. 2.b. The project will not induce substantial growth in the area either directly or indirectly. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of BP (Business Park). The project will cause people to relocate to or within Temecula; however, due to its limited scale, it witl not induce substantial grewth in the area. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 2.c. The preject will not displace housing, especially affordable housing. The project site is vacant; therefore no housing will be displaced. No significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. GeoloGic Preblems 3.a. 3.b, C,g,h. The project will result in a less than significant impact on people as a result of fault rupture. The project is not located in a fault zone or within a fault setback area; therefore no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. The preject will have a less than significant impact on people involving seismic ground shaking; however, there may be a potentially significant impact from seismic greund failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. The project is located in Southem California, an area which is seismically active. Any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated through building construction which is consistent with Uniform Building Code standards. Further, preliminary soil reports have been submitted and reviewed as part of the application submittal and recommendations contained in this report will be used to determine appropriate conditions of approval. The soils reports will also contain recommendations forthe compaction of the soil which will serve to mitigate any potentially significant impacts from seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure, liquefaction, subsidence and expansive soils. After mitigafion measures are performed, no significant effects are anticipated as a result of this project. 3.d. The project will not expose people to a seiche, tsunami 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 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.f. The project will have a less than significant impact from erosion, changes in topography, grading or fill. The site has been previously graded and the project does not propose significant grading beyond that which has already occurred. Increased wind and water erosion of soils beth 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-run, hardscape and landscaping will serve as permanent erosion control for the project. Since the amount of grading will be the minimum necessary for the realization of the project, modification to topography and ground surface relief features will not be considered significant. Potential unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or ~ll 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.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 4.a. The project will result in changes to absorption rates, drainage pattems and the rate and amount of surface runoff; however, these changes are considered less than significant. Previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscapo and driveways. While absorption rates and surface runoff will change, potential impacts shall be mitigated through site design. Drainage conveyances will be required for the project to safely and adequately handle runoff which is created. After mitigation measures are performed, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4.b. The project will have a less than significant to people or property to water related hazards such as flooding because the project site has been elevated outside of the 100 year floodway as a result of grading performed prior to project approval. However;, the project is located within a dam inundation area as identified in the City of Temecula General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report. Impacts can be mitigated by utilizing existing emergency response systems and by assudng that these systems continue to maintain adequate service provision as the City develops. 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 watem and alteration of surface water quality. Pdor 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 (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. 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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result ofthis project. 4 .d ,e. The project will have a less than significant impact in 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 runoff will occur because previously permeable ground will be rendered impervious by construction of buildings, accompanying hardscape and driveways. Due to the limited scale of the project, the additional amount of drainage will not considered significant. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 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 aquifer 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, construction on the site will not be at depths sufficient to have a significant impact on ground waters. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 4.i. The project will not result in a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater water otheRvise available for public water supplies. According to information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the City of Temecula General Plan, "Rancho Califomia Water Distdct indicate that they can accommodate additional water demands." Water service currently exists in the immediate proximity to the project. Water service will need to be provided by Rancho California Water Distdct (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. Air Quality 5.a. The project will not violate any air quality standard or centhbute to an existing or projected air quality violation. The project (16,656 square feet of manufacturing/warehouse/office) is below the threshold for potentially significant air quality impact (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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 5.c. 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 will create objectional odors during the construction phase of the project. These impacts will be of short duration and are not considered significant. Transportation/Circulation 6.a. While the project may result in an incrementel increase in traffic congestion it will result in a less than significant increase in vehicle trips. It is anticipated that this project will contribute less than a less than significant increase in existing volumes during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour time frames to the intersections of Winchester Road and Diaz Road according to standard trip calculation methodologies. The proposed development is in compliance with the land use and development standards of this zone which was analyzed in the EIR for the General Plan. Therefore it is determined that the proposed development will not adversely affect the LOS for this area, but was included in the EIR analysis. The applicant will be required to pay traffic signal mitigation fees and public facility fees as conditions of approval for the project. After mitigation measures are performed, no impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. ,/TEMEC_FS201/DATA\DEPTS/PLANNING\STAFFRPT~270pAggPC.DOC 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 features. 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 a industrial/office/warehouse use in an area with existing and planned similar uses. The project is designed to current City standards and has adequate emergency access. The project does not provide direct access to nearby uses; therefore, it will not impact access to nearby uses. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.d. The project will have sufficient parking capacity on-site. Off-site parking will not be impacted. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6.e, The project will not result in a less than significant impact from hazards or barders for pedestrians or bicyclists. Hazards or barriers to bicyclists have not been included as part of the project. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 6,f. The project will not result in conflicts with adopted policies supporting altemative transportation. The project was transmitted to the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and based upon their response to similar projects in the area, it is not anticipated the project will impact RTA facilities or services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project, 6.g. The project will not result in impacts to rail, waterbome 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. Bioloclical Resources 7.a. 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 unique, reare, 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 barder to the migration of animals or deteriorate existing habitat. The project site is located within the StepheWs 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. 7,c. The project will not result in an impact to locally designated natural communities. 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. 7.e. The project will not result in an impact to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project site does not save as part of a migration corridor. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Enerq¥ 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 dudng 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. While there will be an increase in the rate of use of any natural resource and in the depletion of nonrenewable resource(s) (construction materials, fuels for the daily operation, asphalt, lumber) 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. 8.c, The project will not result in the loss of availability of a known minerel resoume that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State. No known minerel 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. Hazards 9.a. The project will not result in a dsk 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 saree is true for the use, storage, transport or disposal of any hazardous or toxic materials. 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 pdor to any plan check submittal. This applies to storage and use of hazardous materials. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 9.b. The project will not interfere with an emergency response plan or an emergency evaluafion 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 and 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 hazard. The project will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable health laws dudng 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 potenfial 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 flammable brush, grass, or trees. The project is an industrial/warehouse development in an area of existing and future similar uses. The project is not located within or proximate to a fire hazard area. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Noise 10.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 dudng construction phases as well as increases to noise in the area over the long run. Long-term noise generated by this project would be similar to existing and proposed uses in the area. No significant noise impacts are antjcipated as a result of this project in either the short or long-term. 10.b. The project may expose people to severe noise levels dudng the development/construction phase (short run). Construction machinery is capable of producing noise in the range of 100+ DBA at 100 feet which is considered very annoying and can cause headng damage from steady 8-hour exposure. This source of noise will be of short duration and therefore will not be considered significant. There will be no Iong-te~Tn exposure of people to noise. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Public Services 11.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 conthbute its fair share to the maintenance of service provision from these entities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 11.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. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 11.d. The project will have a less than significant impact for the maintenance of public facilities, including roads. Funding for maintenanse of roads is dedvad from the Gasoline Tax which is distributed to the City of Temecula 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 govemmental services. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Utilities and Service Systems 12.a. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to power or naturel gas. These systems are currently 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 (referonce 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 alterefions to local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 12.d. The project will not result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sanitary sewer systems or septic tanks. While the project will have an incremental impact upon existing systems, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) forthe C~s General Plan states: "both EMWD and RCWD have indicated an ability to supply as much water as is required in their services areas (p. 39)." The FEIR further states: "implementation of the proposed General Plan would not significantly impact wastewater services (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 systems 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. 12f The proposal will not result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to solid waste disposal systems. Any potential impacts from 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 supplies. Reference response 12.d. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Aesthetics 13.a. The project will not affect a scenic vista or scenic highway. The project is not located in a 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 applicant and architect worked with City staff to ensure a design that complies with the City-Wide Design Guidelines. The building is relatively consistent with other designs in the area. The enhanced landscaping and additional architectural treatments will provide additional aesthetic enhancement that will result in a quality designed building. Therefore, no adverse visual impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. 13.c. The project will have a less that significant impact from light and glare. The project will produce and result in a minimum amount of light or glare considering the scope of the project. However, all light and glare has the potential to impact the Mount Palomar Observatory; therefore the project will be conditioned to be consistent with Ordinance No. 655 (Ordinance Regulating Light PoIlution). With the conditions of approval, no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Cultural Resources 14.a-c. The project will not have an impact on paleontolegical, archaeological or historical resources. The site has been disturbed from pitor grading activity and any impacts to these resources would have been mitigated dudng 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. 14.e The project will not restdct existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area. No religious or sacred uses exist at'the site or are proximate to the site. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Recreation 15.a,b. Thepr~jectwi~~havea~essthansigni~cantimpact~rincmaseindemandforneighb~rh~~d~rregi~na~parks or other recreational facilities. The project will not cause significant numbers of people to relocate within or to the City of Temecula. 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 true for the quality or quantity of existing recreational resources or oppertunities. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. //TEMEC_FS201/DATAiDEPTS\PLANNING\STAFFRPTx270PA98PC.

Originally, Tentative Tract Map No. 26944 was submitted on Apdl 12, 1991, but was eventually withdrawn on September 14, 1993, after staff had requested a reconfiguration of lot design and access. On August 16, 1995, Tentative Parcel Map No. 28257 was submitted and a Development Review Committee comment letter was sent September 26, 1995. On October 25, 1995, the applicant requested a postponement of activity on the project, and no further response was received. In an attempt to formally close the case file, staff contacted the applicant in December of 1997. On January 28, 1998 Mr. Peruchetti requested he be allowed to reactivate the map. He was given until February 27, 1998 to submit a redesigned map, which was ultimately received on March 13, 1998. A second Development Review Committee meeting was held on April 2, 1998, and a comment letter sent April 21, 1998, giving the applicant 30 days to address ongoing concerns with the project design. The applicant requested additional time to work on the redesign, and a revised map was finally submitted on July 15, 1998. Staff sent a comment letter dated August 5, 1998, informing the applicant and his engineer that the revised map still failed to address the City's many aFeas of CORCeFn. After several review cycles with the applicant, staff concluded that a workable design acceptable to the applicant and the City could not be developed for the site. Therefore, the applicant was notified that the case would be noticed for public hearing before the Planning Commission with a recommendation for denial from staff. PROJECT DESCRIPTION & ANALYSIS Site Constraints The subject site lies within the Chaparral Special Studies Area, an area identified within the City's General Plan as requiring special development considerations to assure that development does not exceed the carrying capacity of the area, while still providing appropriate transitions of density. The Chaparral Area is characterized by moderately sloped hillsides above dry washbeds, with segmented lot patterns of varying sizes. The General Plan limits the encroachment of grading, construction or surface alteration into the natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources in this area. Therefore, careful siting of building pads, driveways, septic and leach fields are required on the tentative map. Contour grading is encouraged; however, retaining walls are discouraged, particularly in public view. The applicant has continued to propose a four-lot division of the property, with pad locations (when noted) that require extensive grading. R:\STAFFRPT\79pa95.STAFFRPT.FC.dOC 2 The Public Works Department has indicated concerns regarding drainage, and requested a Drainage Study in order to mitigate these concerns. The preliminary Drainage Study received July 15, 1998 shows drainage outletting through the property to the south. No assurances have been provided that a drainage easement from the adjacent property owner is feasible. Environmental Health The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health was unable to make recommendations regarding this project without the applicant submitting a Soils Percolation Test and other information. This applicant has not done this. No clearance from Environmental Health has been received. Cultural Resources Staff requested clearance be obtained from the University of California Eastern Information Center regarding the potential for cultural resources on the property. The applicant has not provided the information or fees necessary to obtain this clearance. Code Violations During staff's site visit several code violations were evident on the property, including use of the workshop building as a residence, abandoned vehicles, trash, structures built without permits and possible health hazards. Code Enforcement staff opened a violation case file on the property and are taking steps to rectify these violations. Access and Circulation The most recent maps propose a singular roadway from Pauba Road, This proposed private cul- de-sac is shown with varying grades, ranging from the15% maximum allowed to 2%. Individual residential driveways from the pdvate cul-de-sac are also shown ranging in grade from 6% to 15%. The Fire Department has indicated concerns about ensuring emergency vehicle access both from Pauba Road onto the private cul-de-sac, and through the grade transitions along the length of the cuPde-sac and through the driveways to the individual residences. In order to obtain a 32-foot wide access roadway from Pauba Road, the applicant has designed a 130-foot long crib wall, visible from Pauba heading east. The crib wall appears to be approximately 30 feet in height. The applicant has not provided specific information that staff had previously requested regarding grade transitions and the crib wall. Maps proposed in 1995 had shown a proposed 20-foot access easement from Estero Street to the south. However, the applicant was unable to verify the existence of this easement. In 1995, staff received correspondence from China Sea Development Corporation, the adjacent owner to the south, that refutes the existence of the proposed easement, and recommends measures to resolve issues and reach settlement on the granting of an easement. Also, staff has strongly suggested working with adjacent property owners to the east, west or south, to obtain other access options, however, the engineer has indicated that all these alternatives were unsuccessful. R:\STAFFRPT\79pa95.STAFFRPT,PC.dOC 3 SUMMARWCONCLUSIONS Staff feels that areas of concem regarding the project have been identified and discussed at length with the applicant. Staff continues to feel that the project design is unworkable, does not meet Code requirements nor mitigates environmental impacts. In discussions with both the applicant and his engineer on August 18, 1998, no alternative designs or access options are available. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the project. FINDINGS The proposed land division is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan designation calls for Low Density Residential, 0.5 to 2 dwelling units per acre maximum. The proposed four lot subdivision on 2.85 acres complies with this density designation. The design or improvement of the proposed land division is inconsistent with the General Plan. The site is identified as being within the Chaparral Area which requires special development considerations and limits the encroachment of grading, construction or surface alteration into the natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources in this area. The project is inconsistent with the General Plan because careful siting of building pads, driveways, septic and leach fields has not been accomplished; little contour grading has been designed; and a 130-foot long crib wall in clear view from Pauba Road is proposed. The site of the proposed land division is not physically suitable for the type of development. The site has steep slopes along Pauba Road as well as in the interior of the property. Flat areas are limited to proposed Parcels 4 and 2 where structures already exist. The site is not physically suitable because the proposed development and access will require encroachment into the natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources. The site of the proposed land division is not physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. Flat areas are limited to proposed Parcels 4 and 2 where structures already exist. The site is not physically suitable because the proposed development and access will require encroachment into the natural slopes, drainage courses and sensitive biological resources. The design of the proposed land division or proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The design of the proposed land division requires encroachment into natural slopes and grading of natural vegetation for pad sites and access. The design of the proposed land division or the type of improvements are likely to cause serious public health problems. The Fire Department concerns regarding access for emergency vehicles have not been adequately addressed. The proposed project may cause serious hazards should there be inadequate access for emergency vehicles. 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.

Live OakPark Road FaHbrook, CA 92028 Subject: Development Review Committee (DRC) comments for Planning Application No. PA95-0079 Dear Mr. Benesh: On September 21, 1995, City staff held a Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting to discuss the above referenced project with you and your clients. At that meeting, staff presented several issues that needed to be addressed to consider the project complete and continue the processing of the project. However, the State mandated 30-day review period to determine a project complete has expired. Thus, by default, the project is now considered complete and case processing shall continue. While the project is considered complete, the project is inconsistent with the General Plan relative to parcel size and design and Ordinance No. 460 relative to adequate access. Because of these inconsistencies, it is staff's recommendation that the project, in its' current form, be denied. As an alternative to project denial, the applicant may wish to withdraw their application and submit a new application that addresses the issues raised at the DRC meet'rag. This would restart the case processing time frames. Should you and your client choose to withdraw and submit a new application, the application fees for the existing project would be transferred to the new application.

We are the owners of record of the Estero Street development that is adjacent to and directly south of T.P.M. No. 28257, and this letter shall serve as a "Memorandum for Record". We wish that you would consider the,following points in regard to granting the aforementioned subd'ivision. That, the Estero Street development was designed and constructed to the City codes and sIandards for: say $ 130,000.00 servicing seven {7) lots of ]/2 acres each. That, our engineer, Larry Markham and the City attorney have been working on a reimbursement agreement for CSDC for the past three years, with negative results to date. The minutes of the planning commission mention a re- imbursement agreemenn would be executed between the City and CSDC, to ensure CSDC would be repaid for its invest- ment before building permits would be approved by the City. A draft reimbursement agreement has been drawn up by the City attorney and our engineer, Larry Markham,but not executed. 3. That, CSDC has not approved or granted an easement to any person or persons. That, before CSDC shall consider granting or approving an easement across its property{, the City has to solve the following adverse, damaging problems and conditions: (2) That, T.P.M. No. 28257 will be subject to the same strict City development codes, standards, and expenses that were enforced on CSDC for the Estero Street development. That, the City recognize there are seven (7) expensive custom homes approved and constructed adjacent to or nearby T.P.M. No. 28257, and the City, in its wisdom, should therefore enforce the same superior development and construction codes and standards now in place, to protect these home- owners. That, sub-standard development and building codes should be permitted or apprcved, that would depreciate the value of the expensive custom homes now in place. That, the City, its engineers and planners should optimize the Estero Street design, and control the area run-off of water that has been tunneled and diverted from its original natural water course and sheeting flow to a concentrated drainage system by the owners of T.P.M. No. 28257. The run-off is now being dumped at one drainage point on CSDC's recorded lot, Parcel 2 (Lot "B") of Parcel Map No. 24633. Each rainy season, this condition causes damage and expense to CSDC, plus it has depreciated the value of the Parcel 2 lee by perhaps as much as 50%. The above drainage problem was created by the owners of T.P.M. No. 28257 without the approval or consent of CSDC. 5. That,before CSDC will consider approving and granting an easement across CSDC recorded lot- Parcel 2 (Lot"A") of Parcel Map No. 24633 to accomodate two homeowners, the following must be resolved and a settlement reached before T.P.M. No. 28257 is approved by the City: That,the water run-off and damage problems and liabilities be permanently cured, without further expense to CSDC. That,the design of T.P.H. No. 28257 shall be approved by the City, CSDC, and other affected owners, in advance. c. Tha~,the owners of T.P.M. No. 28257 and the other owner, or the City shall: Pay for all development, menks to be conszructed standards. improvements and benner- to the City codes and To guarantee the home at 30540 Estero Street and its recorded lot Parcel 2 (Lot"A") of Parcel Map No. 24633, shall not De depreciated in value or damaged. If it is determined that the approval of T.P.M. No. 28257 depreciates and/ or damages the home at 30540 or its lot, the damage shall be assessed and CSDC compensated for the loss of value, depreciation and damage. d. That,CSDC, and the neighbors shall, in advance, be compensated by the owners of T.P.M. No.28257, and the other owners, and/or the City, for the approval and granEing of an easement across CSDC recorded Parcel 2, (Lot "A") of Parcel Map No.24633. 6. That, CSDC is represented by our engineer, Larry }larkham, and our represenzative zn Temecula, Dan Naron, (676-6382).

CH:dr (909) 275-8980 August 26, 1998 City of Temecula Planning Comrmssion 43200 Business Park Drive Temecula, CA 92590 AUG 2 6 9 Dear Board Members, By Refer to Planrung Application No. PA95-0079, the Peruchetti proposal to subdivide 2.85 acres into four residential parcels My wife and I own three properties in the immediate area (at Windsor Crest) of the proposed subdivision. Two of our properties, 30498 Colina Verde, our home, and 30490 Colina Verde, a rental, back to the western edge of the Peruchetti property. Naturally, we are very concerned over the impact such a proposal would have on property value and the general welfare and serenity of our well-established community. Appreciating the Peruchetti's desire to take advantage of the improving real estate market in Temecula, we feel the following points are worthy of serious consideration as being detrimental to the surrounding community should the current proposal be approve& I) Septic tanks leaching downhill from the proposed residences would be a definite health hazard to the homes below. Having had a hole dug for a pool at my residence at 30498 Colina Verde, I am aware of an underground stream from Peruchetti's property running downhill and through my backyard. Fluids leaching from a septic tank would follow the same route 2) Peruchetti's track record of a partially completed house under construction for at least 3 years without a City of Temecula permit leaves great doubt as to the quality of any building project they would undertake 3 )- It does not appear that the proposed plan allows adequate room for access by firefighting equipmenL An unreachable housefire in the proposed subdivision would hazard homes in the immediate area. 4) Should the Peruchetti's opt to continue using their present access, a narrow dirt driveway on the west edge of the former Paine property, that too would be inadequate for the passage of firefighting equipment. Having viewed the proposal at City Hall, it is noted that the current Peruchetti residence on the east side of their property is not shown. It is also noted that a great amount of dirt movement will be required to prepare the property for building, causing unknown changes in drainage condition in the area. My wife and I recommend denial of the proposed subdivision. ROBERT I BACKSTROM EVEYLY P. BACKSTROM
