It was noted that Commissioner Fahey arrived at 6:10 P.M.
Senior Planner Hogan relayed that it was the Commission's charge to determine whether the
proposed CIP projects were consistent with the General Plan.
In response to Commissioner Webster's queries, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks
relayed that the Commission could make recommendations with respect to the traffic signal
projects denoted in the CIP.
For Commissioner Webster, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks noted that the Rainbow
Canyon InterchanGe Study Project was not on the City's current Circulation Element, relaying
that the proposal was solely for the study portion of the Interchange in order to determine a
feasible location for the future project south of Highway 79 South which was consistent with the
General Plan, noting that the words design and construction could be deleted.

Webster recommended that the reference to a conference center be deleted, since there was
no proposed conference center use in this area.
W~th respect to the Temecula Park and Ride Facility Project at HiGhway 79 South and La Paz
Street, Commissioner Webster queried why facilities had not been proposed at alternate
locations. Senior Planner Hogan relayed that staff was in the process of working with the
developers to install a facility at the mall site. Commissioner Webster recommended that
additional Park and Ride facilities be added into the CIP.
Chairman Guerriero recommended that the Northwest Sports Complex be categorized at a
Priority II Level rather than a Pdority IV Level. Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed
that this project would be been fully funded within the next two years, advising that although the

the facility the City Council had directed staff to ensure that this project was built, reiterating
that the project would be funded during the first two years of the CIP.
Since funding for the Northwest Complex Project had already been determined, Commissioner
Mathewson recommended categorizing the project as a Priority Level I; and in light of the
continued growth in youth sports programs queried whether the Joint Use (County/City) Sports
Complex Project could be elevated from a Priority Level IV. Deputy Director of Public Works
Parks advised that it would be prudent for the Commission to review the rationale for the
categorizing of priority levels, noting that the higher pdority projects were urgent projects that
R:PlanComm~minutes~051700
reflected a need regarding health, safety, and welfare issues, relaying that typically the park
projects were not classified as high priority items.
With respect to the Butterfield Stacle Road BVlDaSS Project (Phases I and II), Commissioner
Mathewson queried why the segment from La Serena to Rancho California Road was not

Road being conditioned as part of an approved project. Confirming Senior Planner Hogan's
comments, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks provided additional information regarding
the timing of the project which would be dependent upon the development activity in this area
which would generate a need for an assessment distdct or an alternate funding source.

area. In response, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that the study would
encompass all of the land use in that area, noting that this project would not be funded within
the first two years of the CIP; and confirmed that this study was not necessary for any pending
projects.
Commissioner Fahey commended staff for the development of the CI P, advising that the

curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for Longs Drug Stores, on Retail Pad "A'

BACKGROUND
Longs Drug Stores intends to construct a commercial building on Retail Pad "A" directly adjacent to
Ralph's Grocery store on its west side in the Winchester Meadows shopping center. The sale of
alcoholic beverages is an integral part of the store's product line, and according to the applicant
affects the viability of their stores. Therefore pdor to construction, Longs requests that the Planning
Commission make a public convenience or necessity finding in order that they may obtain a Type
21 Off-Sale General License from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC). The ABC reports
that within Census Tract No. 432.02 which covers the site, 9 off-sale licenses are allowed per the
California Legislature, and as of June 16, 2000, there are 9 active licenses. At such time that Long's
makes formal application to the ABC, they request assurance that a license would be issued based
upon a finding of public convenience or necessity.
Of the 18,000 square feet proposed for the store, 4.5% or 100 lineal feet will be for the display, sale
or warehousing of alcoholic beverages. Standard operating hours are from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday. and 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. Security measures include ceiling
F:\Depts\PLANNINGiPC&N\Longs Dragstore Stafli~t,pc 7-5-00.doc
height secudty mirrors around the perimeter of the sales area, and state of the art video surveillance
system throughout the store.
Longs Drug Stores believes that it is very important that alcoholic beverages be purchased only with
proper identification. Longs' policy requires the inspection of all drivers' licenses for anyone believed
to be under the age of 30 years, to confirm their legal age. If a person cannot produce a proper
identification, Longs will not make the sale. Due to the legal ramifications should alcoholic beverages
be sold to a minor, Longs conducts an extensive training program for new-hires and on-going follow
up. Longs has an in-house disciplinary action plan including misdemeanor charges for employees
who are cited for selling alcoholic beverages to an underage person, a habitual drunk, or to an
intoxicated person. Longs managers throughout the chain work with local law enforcement
personnel.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission has developed criteria to either justify or not justify making a Finding of
Public Convenience or Necessity pursuant to State Law. These criteria and Staff's responses are
as follows:
Criteria to Justif,/Makinq a Findinq of Public Convenience or Necessity
1. Q: Does the proposed establishment have any unique features, which are not found in other
similar uses in the community (i.e. types of games, types of food, other special services)?
1. A: No. Longs is a drug store, offering one-hour photo, cosmetics. liquor, greeting cards and
general merchandise sales.
2. Q: Does the proposed establishment cater to an under-served population (i.e. patrons of a
different socio-economic class)?
2. A: No. The drug store is expected to serve all socio-economic classes.
3. Q: Does the proposed establishment provide entertainment that would fill a niche in the
community (i.e. a comedy club, jazz club, etc.)
3. A: No. The sate of alcoholic beverages in this facility is not associated with entertainment. This
criteria is not applicable.
4. Q: Would the proposed mode of operation of the establishment (i.e. sales in conjunction with
gasoline sales, tours, etc.) be unique or differ from that of other establishments in the area?
4. A: No. Sales are anticipated to be typical of operations at the adjacent Ralph's Grocery and
other stores in the area.
5. Q:
Are there any geographical boundaries (i.e. rivers, hillsides) or traffic barriers (i.e. freeways,
major roads, major intersections) separating the proposed establishment from other
establishments?
5. A:
6. Q:
Yes. The Winchester Meadows shopping center is bordered on the north by the Santa
Gertrudis Creek, and on all two sides by State Highway 79 South (Winchester Road) and
Margarita Road,' which are designated as Urban Arterial and Artedal highways respectively.
Is the proposed establishment located in an area where there is a significant influx of
population during cedain seasonal periods?
FADepts~PLANNING\PC&NNLongs Drugstore Stall?pl.pc 7-5-00.doc
6. A:
No. Population in the area is expected to be seasonally stable, but increasing as the
adjacent residential areas develop. Influx may occur in the near future as a result of the
East Side Reservoir and its proposed recreational components.
Criteria to Not Justify Makinq a Findinq of Public Convenience or Necessity
7. Q: Is there a proliferation of licensed establishments within a quarter mile of the proposed
establishment?
7. A: No. Within a quarter mile radius of the proposed site, there are two off-sale licenses, one
issued to Ralph's and the other issued to the Chevron gas station mini-mart.
8. Q: Are there any sensitive uses (i.e., schools, parks, hospitals, churches) in close proximity (800
feet) to the proposed establishment?
8. A:
No, there are no schools, parks, hospitals, churches or youth facilities within 600 feet of the
proposed establishment. Chaparral High School lies beyond the 600 foot distance
requirement of the State Department of Education and the Business & Professions Code.
According to the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD), the 600-foot restriction
is not applicable to their Maintenance, Operations & Transportation facility adjacent to the
shopping center. TVUSD correspondence dated November 12, 1996, supporting this
statement is on file in the Planning Department, and is attached to this staff report.
9. Q: Would the proposed establishment interfere with these sensitive uses?
9. A: No.
10. Q: Would the proposed establishment interfere with the quiet enjoyment of their property by the
residents of the area?
10. A:
It is unlikely that the proposed drug store will interfere with residents in the vicinity.
Residences are beyond 500 feet of the community commercial center, in which other
licensees are currently operating. Ralph's Grocery received a finding of public convenience
and necessity from the Planning Commission on December 15, 1997.
11. Q: Will the proposed establishment add to law enforcement problems in the area?
11. A:
Staff contacted the Temecula Police Department regarding the proposed liquor license.
Police officers do not expect the proposed establishment to add to law enforcement
problems in the area.
Number of similar uses within the City: Long's Drug Stores already has a Type 21 license for their
store on Rancho California Road. Rite-Aid, at the Vail Ranch Center on State Highway 79 south also
has a Type 21 license for that facility.
Number of other licensed establishments within I mile and 3 miles: There are a total of seven (7)
off-sale licenses issued within one mile of the proposed store. A three mile radius would include an
additional eighteen (18) off-sale licenses.
Additional Information: Long's corporate office reports that chainwide their stores average $8.5
million in sales per year per store. With a 5% marketshare attributable to liquor sales, the Winchester
Meadows store is anticipated to generate $425,000 from the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Conclusion: Staff recommends the Commission review the information included in this report and
make the appropriate finding.

Planning Application No. 99-0317 (Development Plan) - Temecula Ridge Apts.
Planning Application No. 99-0317 was heard by the Planning Commission on May 3, 2000 at which
time the Commission continued the matter and asked staff to address their concerns with the
definition of "amenities" within the Growth Management Program Action Plan.
Ongoing discussions regarding amenities have taken place between staff and Councilmembers since
the May 3, 2000 hearing. On May 30th the Council General Plan Subcommittee asked that the
Commission continue the Temecula Ridge case to July 5, 2000. On June 27, 2000 the City Council
discussed the matter further and asked staff to arrange a joint meeting with the Planning
Commission during the first week in August. In so doing, the Council also recommended that the
Commission continue PA99-0317 until their second meeting in August. Staff concurs with the
recommendation to continue this case to August 16, 2000.

Planning Application No. 99-0510 (Development Plan)
AVOCA BUILDING
Prepared by: Denice Thomas, Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department - Planning Division Staff
recommends the Planning Commission:
1. ADOPT a Notice of Exemption for Planning Application No. 99-0510
pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. ADOPT a Resolution entitled:
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2000-__
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 99-0510, A
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A
23,710 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL BUILDING ON 1.22 VACANT
ACRES LOCATED AT 42486 AVENIDA ALVARADO AND KNOWN AS
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO. 909-290-058.
BACKGROUND
On June 7, 2000, this case was brought before the Planning Commission for review. The Planning
Commission continued the case to July 5, 2000 and directed the applicant to work with Staff to
resolve the outstanding issue of the "furred space". The "furred space" as defined by the
applicant's architect, was the name given to the 3,000 square foot space on the second level. On
June 7, 2000 the Building and Safety Division informed staff that the "furred space" depicted on the
floor plan, could easily be converted into office space, even though the applicant maintained that
the space would not be utilized. After additional review by the Building and Safety Division, the
determination was made that since the space was so easily convertible to office space, it must be
constructed as such. The implication of the "furred space" to the Planning Department's
recommendation of approval was that the additional square footage increased the F.A.R beyond
what was permitted by Code and that the increased office square footage would require additional
parking. At the Planning Commission meeting, the Chief Building Official addressed this issue and
indicated that the applicant had been aware of this situation from the beginning yet had not
corrected the situation.

proposed solution to the problem. The project architect has modified the area in question and
among other changes, removed the floor leaving a suspended ceiling, These modifications to the
space in question effectively eliminates the potential for converLing this space into office space and
brings the project back to the state it was in when originally presented with a recommendation of
conditional approval.

WHEREAS, Steve Mannix, filed Planning Application No. 99-0510, in a manner in accord
with the City of Temecuia General Plan and Development Code;
WHEREAS, Planning Application No. 99-0510 was processed including, but not limited to

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered Planning
Application No. 99-0510 on July 5, 2000, after continuation from the June 7, 2000 Planning
Commission meeting, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City
staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition
to this matter;
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Commission headng and after due consideration of the
testimony, the Commission conditionally approved Planning Application No. 99-0510 subject to the
conditions after finding that the project proposed in Planning Application No. 99-0510 conformed
to the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by
reference.
Section 2. Findinqs. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning Application No.
99-0510 (Development Plan) hereby makes the following findings as required by Section
17.05.010.F of the Temecula Municipal Code:
A. The proposal, as conditioned, is consistent with the land use designation and
policies reflected for (BP) Business Park development in the City of Temecula General Plan, as
well as the development standards for (LI) Light Industrial development contained in the City's
Development Code. The site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be physically
suitable for the type and density of commercial development proposed. The project as conditioned
is also consistent with other applicable requirements of State law and local ordinance, including the
Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CityWide Design Guidelines, and fire and building
codes.
F:\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~510PA99.PC Cont'd.doc

B. The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation and
other associated site improvements, as conditioned, is consistent with and intended to protect the
health and safety of those working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for and
as conditioned has been found to be consistent with all applicable policies, guidelines, standards
and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a
manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare.
C. The design of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There
is no fish or wildlife habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish or wildlife
habitat off-site. The site is surrounded by development and is an infill site. Furthermore, grading
has already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger industrial park. The project will not
individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section
711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. A Notice of Exemption for Planning Application
No. 99-0510 was made per the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15332.
This Section allows exemptions for infill development projects that meet certain prescribed criteria.
The subject site complies with these criteria and therefore the exemption can be applied to this
project.
Section 4. Conditions. That the City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby
conditionally approves Planning Application No. 99-0510 (Development Plan) for the design and
construction of a 23,710 square foot industrial building on 1.22 acres located at 42486 Avertida
Alvarado, and known as Assessor's Parcel No. 909-290-058 subject to the project specific
conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning
Commission this 7th day of June 20'00.
Ron Guerriero, Chairperson

BACKGROUND
The project was submitted to the Planning Department for review on December 21, 1999. The
Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the project on January 20, 2000. The project was
deemed complete on March 28, 2000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Development Plan is a proposal to design and construct a tilt-up concrete industrial building.
The building is proposed to be 23,710 square feet and will be constructed on approximately 1.22
vacant acres within the Light Industrial (LI) Zone.
ANALYSIS
Site Desion
The project is located on the north side of Avenida Alvarado at the terminal point of the road.
Access to the site is provided from one driveway located at the southeastern corner of the site from
Avertida Alvarado. Parking for the project is provided on the eastern and northern sides of the
project. An employee patio area (150 square feet) is located in the northeast corner of the site.
F:\Depts~pLANNING\STAFFRPT~510PA99,PC.doc
2
The required parking for this project is as follows: 52 vehicle spaces and 2 motorcycle spaces (52
total spaces). The applicant is providing 50 vehicle spaces (15 of the 50 are compact) and 3
motorcycle spaces. While it is true the applicant is two vehicle parking spaces short, it is difficult
to provide those spaces unless the applicant reduces the size of the building. Staff is
recommending that the applicant file an application for a minor exception to address the deficiency
in parking.
The Development Code identifies a target floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.40 for the Light Industrial zone.
The applicant is proposing a FAR of 0.44, which is in excess of what is permitted by Code. The
Development Code has a provision available to the Planning Commission, which will allow for
increased FAR if one of the following criteria are met:
The project includes uses which provide outstanding and exceptional benefits to the city with
respect to employment, fiscal, social and economic needs of the community. Examples include:
the provision of affordable housing that is easily accessible to and within close proximity to
convenient shopping and employment, accessibility to mass transit facilities, and creative
mixtures of land uses, housing types and densities.
This software research and development company employs 240 people, which are housed in
two existing facilities within the Westside Business Park, here in Temecula. The applicant has
provided documentation, which indicates that the payroll costs for the proposed facility will be
in excess of $4,000,000.00. Historically, the City has attempted to encourage business with
higher salaries to locate within the City. In this case, the applicant has an existing business that
they wish to expand which will create high paying jobs. It is with this in mind that staff
recommends that the Planning Commission considers allowing the applicant to increase the
FAR of the proposed building.
Access, Traffic and Circulation
Access for the site will be taken from Avenida Alvaredo. The Public Works Department has
reviewed this project and has not indicated that the traffic impacts will be significant. Emergency
vehicles have access to all parts of each building from the parking areas along the front, side and
rear of the building.
Architecture, Color and Materials
The Development Code indicates in Chapter 17.08-25 (D)2(a) that long unarticulated walls should
be avoided. Wall planes should not extend in a continuous direction for greater than 50 feet without
an offset. The applicant is attempting to meet this requirement by utilizing reveals, accent panels
and false windows. The building planes on the southern and eastern elevations have varying
depths, which adds interest to the architecture. The tilt-up concrete stucco building is colored with
varying shades of gray from light to dark, accented with teal reveals. The applicant is also
proposing the use of black window frames and extremely dark gray (almost black) glass for the
doors and windows along the southern and eastern elevations. In sum, the architectural style of
this industrial building is compatible with existing industrial buildings in the area.
The applicant has been made aware that all roof mounted equipment for this site must be screened
from view by an architectural element of the building, per the City's adopted Design Guidelines. The
equipment enclosure the applicant is proposing to utilize is a screen that is not part of the
F:\Depts\PLANNING\STAFFRPT~510PA99,PC.doc
3
architecture of the building. This enclosure is not consistent with the Design Guidelines and staff
is again recommending that the applicant utilize an architectural element of the building to screen
the equipment (i.e.: raise the parapet of the building).
Siqnaqe
Signage is not a part of this application. The review of signage will be conducted under a separate
application at a later date.
Landscapinq
The preliminary planting plan indicates that the applicant is providing 9,325 square feet of
landscaping onsite, which is consistent with the 20% minimum landscaping requirement in the LI
(Light Industrial) zone. Additionally, the applicant is providing 1,002 square feet of planting
materials outside the right of way.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
A Notice of Exemption for Planning Application No. 99-0510 will be made pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15332.
The proposed project is eligible for a CEQA exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines based on the following reasons:
· The site is 1.22 acres which is less than the 5 acres required
· The proposed development is consistent with the existing development in the area
· The site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species
· The site will be adequately served by public utilities and services
· The building is being approved pursuant to the zoning and general plan designations for the site.
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). A variety of industrial uses are permitted within this zone, with the
approval of a Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 17.05 of the Development Code. The project
as proposed is consistent with the General Plan, and with an application for a minor exception will
be consistent with the Development Code. However, the project is inconsistent with the City's
adopted Design Guidelines with respect to equipment screening.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
The project has been determined by staff to be consistent with the General Plan, inconsistent with
the Development Code, and inconsistent with the Citywide Design Guidelines, however it is staffs
opinion that the project is compatible with surrounding developments in terms of design and quality.
FINDINGS
F:\DeptS\PLANNING~STAFFRPT~510PA99.PC.doc
4
Development Plan
The proposal is consistent with the land use designation and policies reflected for (BP)
Business Park development in the City of Temecula General Plan, as well as the
development standards for (LI) Light Industrial development contained in the City's
Development Code. The site is therefore properly planned and zoned and found to be
physically suitable for the type and density of commercial development proposed. The
project as conditioned, including the condition requiring the applicant to apply for a minor
exception for parking, will bring the project into consistency other applicable requirements
of State law and local ordinance, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the CityWide Design Guidelines, and fire and building codes.
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, parking, circulation and other
associated site improvements, is consistent with and intended to protect the health and
safety of those working in and around the site. The project has been reviewed for, and as
conditioned has been found to be consistent with, all applicable policies, guidelines,
standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development will be constructed and
function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare.
The design of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There are no
fish, wildlife or habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish, wildlife or
habitat off-site. The site is surrounded by development and is an infill site. Fudhermore,
grading has already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger industrial park. The
project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as
defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.

C. The design of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There
is no fish or wildlife habitat on the project site, and the project will not affect any fish or wildlife
habitat off-site. The site is surrounded by development and is an infill site. Furthermore, grading has
already occurred at the site, which is a portion of a larger industrial park. The project will not
individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2
of the Fish and Game Code.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. A Notice of Exemption for Planning Application
No. 99-0510 was made per the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15332. This
Section allows exemptions for infill development projects that meet certain prescribed criteria. The
subject site complies with these criteria and therefore the exemption can be applied to this project.

BACKGROUND
The original Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 24136 and 24136 Amendment No. 1 were both
approved by Riverside County, along with six (6) other vesting maps filed within the specific plan,
then known as "The Meadows." Phase t of the map subsequently recorded with 101 residential lots
and I open space lot.
The subject application was submitted on April 14, 2000, and a Development Review Committee
(DRC) meeting was held on May 11, 2000. The staff comment letter was faxed to the applicant on
the same date, and the applicant's engineer resubmitted revised exhibits on May 24, 2000, and
June 21, 2000.
On November 17, 1999 the City Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 24136,
Amendment No. 2 which was designed by the Chambers Development Group for a senior
community with 396 residential lots and 21 open space lots. The minimum lot size of 4,000 square
feet proposed for the senior project was consistent with the senior option of the specific plan.
However, the Chambers Group did not purchase the property, and the owner, Newland
Communities, requested and was granted a rescindment of Tentative Tract Map No. 24136,
Amendment No. 2 by the Planning Commission on February 2, 2000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes 243 lots on 77.2 acres, 9 of which are open space lots that are either sloped
areas or border along the perimeter of the project. The remaining 234 lots are for single family
residential development with a minimum area of 5,000 square feet, in accordance with the
standards for Planning Area 8 of Specific Plan No. 219, Amendment No. 7. However, the average
lot size proposed is 6,500 square feet, resulting in an overall reduction in dwelling units within
Planning Area 8 of 65 lots. Additionally, the overall acreage to be used as open space has
increased by 1.8 acres.

ANALYSIS
Access and Cimulation
The design of the map retains the same access points and circulation routes as the original map.
Both the access and circulation are consistent with the specific plan, and meet the requirements
of the Department of Public Works. The Fire Department has limited the length of cuPde-sacs within
the City's Subdivision Ordinance for fire safety purposes. Staff has determined, with the
concurrence of the Fire Department and City Attorney, that cul-de-sac length can be defined as
starting from the roadway opening and extending to the start of the cul-de-sac bulb. The proposed
map complies with this definition.
Phasinq
Staff has reviewed the proposed three (3) phases of construction and has determined that'each
phase provides adequate access and circulation during development.
Slopes and Maintenance
Slopes shall be constructed at a ratio of 2:1 or less in accordance with the City's Development
Code. Pedmeter slope areas along both public and private streets, adjacent to single family
residences, and within interior open spaces are proposed for maintenance by the homeowners'
association.
Consistency with the Growth Manaclement Pmqram Action Plan
The Growth Management Program Action Plan, Section 2.B. directs "the Planning Commission to
consider approving residential projects at the lowest allowable density in each density category."
The design of the 234 lots results in a density of 3.25 dwelling units per acre. (Overall, map
Amendment No. 3 will generate a density of 3.57 dwelling units per acre for Planning Area 8, down
from 4.26 dwelling units per acre under the previously approved map Amendment No. 1 ). A density
of 3.25 dwelling units per acre is at the lowest allowable range of 3-6 dwelling units per acre of the
General Plan LM Low Medium designation, but is nearer the middle of the range of 2-5 dwelling
units per acre established by the specific plan for this planning area.
The City Attorney has reviewed the Amendment and Restatement of Development Agreement for
Paloma del Sol, recorded February 18, 1993, and determined that the applicant retains his right to
develop the property within the full 2-5 density range, despite the Growth Management Program.
He made this determination given the following excerpts from the Development Agreement:
Sec. 14.1 Riqhts to Develop reads in part that "Subject to the terms of this Agreement, ...
the Owner shall have a vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the
extent of the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject to all Subsequent
Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the
Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of
the Property, the density and intensity of use .... shall be those set forth in the Development
Plan."
Sec. 13.2 Subsequent Development Approvals read in part that "This Agreement shall not
prevent City, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying the
Subsequent Land Use Regulations which do not conflict with the Development Plan, nor
shall this Agreement prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent
Development Approval on the basis of the Existing or Subsequent Land Use Regulations
not in conflict with the Development Plan."
R:\T M~4136 Amd 3\STAFFRPT.PC.dOC

Sac. 1.8 Definitions defines "Existing Development Approvals" as "those certain
Development Approvals in effect as of the effective date of this Agreement with respect to
the Property, including, without limitation, the "Existing Development Approvals" listed in
Exhibit A which were approved by the County or the City."
Finally, Exhibit A lists Vesting Tentative Map No. 24136.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Environmental Impact Report No. 235 was prepared for Specific Plan No. 219 and was certified by
the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on September 6, 1988. Addendum Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were
adopted by the City of Temecula City Council in 1992 and 1999 respectively. This project proposes
no change to the maximum number of units for Planning Area 8 as reviewed by Addendum No. 3.
According to Section 21166 of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), no subsequent or
supplemental environmental impact report is required for the project unless one or more of the
following events occurs: substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the EIR; substantial changes occur with respect to circumstances under which the
project is being undertaken which require major revision in the EIR; or, new information, which was
not known at the time of the EIR was certified and complete becomes available. None of these
situations have occurred. The previously certified EIR and Addendums addressed the number of
lots for the site as proposed by this application. Staff has determined that the project is consistent
with the previous environmental review. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
Tentative Tract Map No. 24136, Amendment No. 3 proposes a density of 3.57 dwelling units per
acre, consistent with the LM Low Medium Density Residential designation of the General Plan,
which allows 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. The Map is also consistent with the zoning standards
within the Paloma del Sol Specific Plan, Amendment No. 7.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
Tentative Tract Map No. 24136, Amendment No. 3 is designed to meet the standards of Specific
Plan No. 219, Paloma del Sol, Amendment No. 7. The map is consistent with the City's
Development Code, Subdivision Ordinance and General Plan. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the map.
FINDINGS
The proposed subdivision and the design or improvements of the subdivision is consistent
with the Development Code, General Plan, and any applicable specific plan and the City of
Temecula Municipal Code. The General Plan designation is LM Low Medium Density
Residential, 3-6 dwelling units per acre. At a density of 3.57 the project complies with this
designation. Planning Area 8 of Specific Plan No. 219 calls for a density range of 2-5

The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered
into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 19651 or the land is subject to a
Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land will
not be too small to sustain their agricultural use. The site is not under a Williamson Act
Contract, according to Figure 5-5 of the General Plan.
The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed by the
tentative map. Access is proposed from five adjacent, existing streets within the specific
plan. The site is adjacent to already developed and similar residential uses. Public utilities
are available at or in close proximity to the site.
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with conditions of approval,
are not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There are no known fish, wildlife or habitat on the
project site, and the project will not affect any fish, wildlife or habitat off-site, The site is
surrounded by development and is an infill site. Furthermore, grading has already occurred
at the site, which is a portion of a larger specific plan. The project will not individually or
cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of
the Fish and Game Code.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems. The project has been reviewed for conformance with Specific Plan
No. 219, the City's General Plan, Development Code, Subdivision and Landscaping
Ordinances. The project is consistent with these documents and conditions of approval
have been placed on the project accordingly to assure that the development conforms to
City Standards,
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision and 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
subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to
those previously acquired by the public will be provided. The map has provided that all
proposed and existing public utility easements over landscape areas shall be granted as
shown on the map.
The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland dedication requirements. The
subdivision's Quimby Park Fee obligations have been met through the execution of the
Amendment and Restatement of Development Agreement, recorded on February 18, 1993.
