SECTION 1. Recitals and Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the
City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. The Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan ("Specific Plan") has been initiated
and prepared on behalf of the City of Temecula. The Specific Plan area is
approximately 2.3 miles long and encompasses approximately 560 acres. The Specific
Plan area is located north of Rancho California Road, west of Interstate 15, south of
Cherry Street, and east of Diaz Road. The Specific Plan area is divided into six zoning
districts: Uptown Center District, Uptown Hotel/Tourism District, Uptown SportslTransit
District, Uptown Arts District, Creekside Village District and the Murrieta Creek
Recreation and Open Space District. In addition, there are two overlay zones:
Creekside Village Commercial Zone and the Wilder Hills Residential Overlay Zone. It is
projected that approximately 5.5 million square feet of new development could be
constructed in the Specific Plan area within twenty years. This includes approximately
1.7 million square of feet of commercial development, 315 new hotel rooms and 3,726
new residential dwelling units.
B. On October 21, 2015 and November 4, 2015, the Planning Commission,
at regular meetings, considered the Specific Plan, at which time the City staff and
interested persons had an opportunity and did testify either in support or opposition to
the matter.
C. The adoption of the Specific Plan also includes a General Plan
Amendment, a Zoning Code Amendment to add the Specific Plan area, a Zoning Map
Amendment to change the zoning classification of the parcels located within the Specific
-1-
Plan area, and the elimination of the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan area from the Adult
Business Overlay Zone (collectively referred to as the "Project").
D. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in
the time and manner prescribed by State and local law, including the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq. and the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, 14. Cal. Code Regs. § 15000 et seq. (collectively

E. On June 2, 2013, in accordance with CEQA Guideline Section 15082, the
City published a Notice of Preparation ("NOP") of a Draft Environmental Impact Report
("Draft EIR") and circulated it to governmental agencies, organizations, and persons that
may be interested in the proposed Project. The NOP requested that comments on the
topics to be analyzed in the Draft EIR for the proposed Project be submitted to the City
by July 12, 2013.
F. In response to the NOP, the City received 12 written comments from
various individuals and organizations. These comment letters assisted the City in
narrowing the issues and alternatives for analysis in the Draft EIR.
G. On June 27, 2013, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15082(c)(1), the City held a public scoping meeting to obtain comments from interested
parties on the scope of the Draft EIR.
H. The City's consultants thereafter prepared, in accordance with State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, a Draft EIR for the proposed Project (State
Clearinghouse Number 2013061012).
I. Upon completion of the Draft EIR in March 2015, the City initiated a public
comment period by filing a Notice of Completion with the State Office of Planning and
Research on April 1, 2015. The public comment period commenced via the State

Recirculation of a Draft EIR was also sent to adjacent property owners indicating a
review period of May 19, 2015 through July 6, 2015. Copies of the documents have
been available for public review and inspection at the City of Temecula Community
Development Department, Planning Division, located at 41000 Main Street; the
Temecula Public Library located at 30600 Pauba Road; the Temecula Grace Mellman
Community Library located at 41000 County Center; the City of Temecula website; and
the Envision Jefferson Avenue website. The City also published a Notice of Availability
for the Draft EIR on April 4, 2015 in the San Diego Union-Tribune, a newspaper of
general circulation in the City.
J. In response to the Draft EIR, written comments were received from
various agencies, individuals, and organizations. The City responded to all written
comments. Those comments and the responses thereto are included as part of the
Final Environmental Impact Report/Response to Comments document ("Final EIR").
The Final EIR consists of the Draft EIR, Comments and Responses to Comments, the

H. On November 17, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 15-_,
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA AMENDING
THE LAND USE ELEMENT, THE LAND USE POLICY MAP, THE CIRCULATION
ELEMENT, AND THE COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE UPTOWN JEFFERSON SPECIFIC PLAN" which amended

, the City Council also amended the Land Use Element text of the Temecula
General Plan by adding the description of the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan and
removing the Jefferson Avenue Mixed Use Overlay Area.
I. Following consideration of the entire record of information received at the
public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 15-_ entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA CERTIFYING
THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PREPARED FOR THE UPTOWN
JEFFERSON SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELATED ACTIONS, AND ADOPTING FINDINGS
PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, A
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS, AND A MITIGATION
MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM IN CONNECTION WITH THE
ADOPTION OF THE UPTOWN JEFFERSON SPECIFIC PLAN' certifying and adopting
the Final EIR, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the Statement of
Overriding Considerations. The Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program accurately address the impacts associated with the adoption of the Ordinance.
SECTION 2. Legislative Findings. Based on the evidence and all other
applicable information presented, the City Council makes the following findings
regarding the Specific Plan:
A. The Specific Plan will comply with the requirements of California
Government Code section 65451 based on the following:
(1) The Specific Plan contains diagrams and text which specify in detail
the distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including
-3-
11086-O006\1892270x2 Am
open space, within the area covered by the plan (pages 3-1 through
3-23 of Specific Plan).
(2) The Specific Plan contains diagrams and text which specify in detail
the proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major
components of public and private transportation, sewage, water,
drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities
proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and
needed to support the land uses described in the plan (pages 6-1
through 6-21 of Specific Plan).
(3) The Specific Plan contains diagrams and text which specify in detail
the standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and
standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of
natural resources, where applicable (pages3-19 through 3-23 of
Specific Plan).
(4) The Specific Plan contains a program of implementation measures
including regulations, programs, public works projects, and
financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and
(3) above (pages 7-1 through 7-19 of Specific Plan).
(5) The Specific Plan includes a statement of the relationship of the
Specific Plan to the General Plan (pages 2-1 and 2-3 of Specific
Plan).
B. Pursuant to Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.16.020(E), the City
Council in adopting the Specific Plan finds determines and declares that:
(1) The proposed specific plan is consistent with the General Plan and
development code.
The Specific Plan is consistent with the direction, goals and policies of the
General Plan, as amended. The Specific Plan implements the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, provides balanced and diversified land
uses, and imposes appropriate standards and requirements with respect
to land development and use in order to maintain the overall quality of life
and the environment within the City. The goals and policies in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan encourage "a complete and integrated
mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses
(Goal 1)," and "a City of diversified development character where rural and
historical areas are protected and co-exist with newer urban development
(Goal 2)." The Specific Plan will assist in implementing these goals by
establishing neighborhoods that are upscale and culturally robust, each
with a distinct character and identity, offering a mix of homes, shops,
offices, restaurants and other locally-serving uses. The Specific Plan's
land use mix that will include commercial, retail and residential uses,
-4-
11086-0006\1892270x2 Am
public open space amenities and intentional pedestrian-orientated design
of streets and sidewalks will maximize the connectivity of the area. The
Specific Plan establishes six zoning districts which are based upon current
and historical uses in order to cultivate a unique character for each area.
This will ensure that locally-owned and operated business and services
will continue to thrive, side-by-side with the new wave of entrepreneurial
ventures.
The Specific Plan is consistent with the City's development code, as
amended by this Ordinance. The Specific Plan area is properly planned
and zoned and is physically suitable for the type of proposed uses
contemplated in the area.
(2) The proposed Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City.
The City has engaged in extensive studies and review of the potential
impacts of the Specific Plan as well as the various potential benefits to the
City by the development of the Specific Plan and concluded that the
Specific Plan is in the best interests of and is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the City. Although many of the businesses
within the Specific Plan area are still economically-vibrant and provide vital
services to the community, the area has since been overshadowed by
new development and private investment in other parts of the City. As a
result, the Specific Plan seeks to spark the revitalization of the area which
is critical to its long term future and will promote economic longevity which
is in the public health, safety and welfare.
The Specific Plan was reviewed and determined to be in conformance
with the City's General Plan, as amended. These documents set policies
and standards that protect the health, safety and welfare of the
community. In addition, the Specific Plan establishes specific building
design guidelines and standards that ensure compatibility and interface
with the surrounding community in terms of density, design and
circulation. Therefore, the Specific Plan is compatible with the health,
safety and welfare of the community.
(3) The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land
use designations and the anticipated land use developments.
There are no physical constraints of the Specific Plan area which would
preclude or prohibit the requested land use designations or anticipated
developments. Moreover, the Specific Plan land uses are consistent with
the land uses of the General Plan, as amended, and will serves as the tool
to regulate and implement the goals and policies of the General Plan. The
Specific Plan area benefits from a range of assets including Murrieta
Creek and nearby open spaces, lush hillside views, and convenient
-5-
11086 000e\189227WAm
freeway accessibility. The Specific Plan area is physically suitable for
proposed land use designations because it will maintain 240 acres as
open space, and will encourage public and private investment in the
development of world class walking and biking trails, public open spaces
and passive recreation spaces. The Specific Plan will also promote in-fill
development in the older commercial and industrial centers to revitalize
the area.
(4) The proposed Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable
character which will be compatible with existing and proposed
development in the surrounding neighborhood.
The Specific Plan is a form-based code which emphasizes the physical
form of buildings to foster predictable built results as the organizing
principle for the code, rather than focusing on the strict separation of uses.
Under a form-based code, buildings are constructed in a manner that yield
flexibility in building form and design, allowing for land uses to fluctuate as
a result of the changing economic landscape. The form-based code will
employ the combination of both building forms and building frontages to
create a pedestrian scaled-urban environment, and encourage mixed-use
development in an urban setting. Additionally, the development of six
separate districts will encourage the development of the distinct areas
based upon current and historical uses in order to cultivate a unique
character for each district.
The Specific Plan is compatible with surrounding land uses. The current
land uses north, east and west of the Specific Plan area consist primarily
of commercial and industrial uses. The current land uses to the south of
the Specific Plan area consist of predominately tourist service
development. The Specific Plan would provide for a mix of land uses
including commercial, and residential uses. Northwest and northeast of
the proposed Project area is open space. The Specific Plan would
maintain approximately 240-acres zoned Open Space-Conservation. The
Specific Plan area is adjacent to Murrieta Creek, but would preserve the
open space designation that surrounds the creek.
SECTION 3. Adoption of Specific Plan.
The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby adopts the Uptown
Jefferson Specific Plan. The Specific Plan is on file in the City Clerk's office and is
incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full,
SECTION 4. Zoning Code Amendment.
A. Section 17.16.070 (Approved specific plans) of Chapter 17.16 (Specific
Plan Zoning District SP-) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code is
amended to add the following Specific Plan area:
-6-
11086-00W 1892270r2.dm
"SP-14 Uptown Jefferson"
SECTION 5. Zoning Mao Amendment.
The City Council hereby amends the Zoning Map of the City of Temecula to add
the zoning classification "Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan" to the Zoning Map as shown
on Exhibit A to this Ordinance incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth
in full.
SECTION 6. Adult Business Overlay Zone Amendment.
A. Legislative Findings
(1) The City Council seeks to remove the parcels located in the
Specific Plan area from the boundaries of the Adult Business
Overlay Zone which is identified as Special Use Overlay No. 1
("Overlay Zone").
(2) It is not the intent of this Ordinance to suppress any speech
activities protected by the First Amendment, but rather to address
the adverse secondary effects of adult businesses. It is further the
intent and purpose of this Ordinance to reduce the secondary
effects of adult businesses upon the residential uses that will be
located within the Specific Plan area.
(3) The City Council finds that adult businesses tend to attract
prostitution, drug use, crime, noise, and disorderly conduct. Adult
businesses also reduce property values for the surrounding
businesses and residences, and contribute to blight and the
downgrading of the areas in which they are located or surrounding
areas.
(4) The City Council finds that the protection and preservation of the
public health, safety and welfare require that certain distances be
maintained between adult businesses and residential uses.
Temecula Municipal Code section 17.08.020 provides that the
intent of the Overlay Zone is "to designate areas that adult
businesses may be considered" and that this area is "generally
away from residential uses and other sensitive uses and is primarily
located within the commercial districts." The Specific Plan area will
include a mix of residences, shops, offices, restaurants and other
locally-serving uses. The Specific Plan contemplates that the
residential uses will be integrated with the other uses to activate the
area during the day, evenings and weekends. The Specific Plan
seeks to encourage livetwork arrangements, and mixtures of
compatible, pedestrian-orientated retail, office, public facilities,
open space, and house at activity nodes through urban design
standards. The City Council hereby finds that the secondary
-7-
11086-00%\1892270r2.&C
effects of adult businesses would not be appropriate so close to the
residential uses that will be located in the Specific Plan area. The
secondary effects associated with adult businesses would not be
compatible with the residential uses and would be disrupted to the
residents of Specific Plan area.
(5) The City Council further finds that the removal of parcels located in
the Specific Plan area from the boundaries of the Overlay Zone will
allow adequate sites for adult businesses to locate in the City. City
staff has advised that 426 commercially-zoned parcels would
remain available for adult businesses after removing the parcels in
the Specific Plan area from the Overlay Zone. All of those
commercially-zoned parcels have adequate access to appropriate
infrastructure (e.g., utilities, roads, and sidewalks). In addition, City
staff has indicated that a number of the available parcels are
actually vacant commercial spaces. Even in light of the 1,000-foot
buffer between adult uses, which are required by Temecula
Municipal Code section 5.09.040, approximately 13 adult
businesses could simultaneously locate in the Overlay Zone after it
is amended to exclude the Specific Plan area from its boundaries.
Given the size of the City and the fact that the City does not have a
single adult business operating within its borders at this point, the
available sites are adequate and are part of the real estate market.
(6) The City Council further finds that there are an adequate number of
sites that are within the real estate market to provide a reasonable
opportunity for adult businesses to be located in the City. The City
has a total population of 106,780. 1.8 percentage of land in the
City is theoretically available to adult businesses. In addition, there
are 13 sites that are potentially available for adult uses. Currently,
there are no businesses that wish to offer adult entertainment in the
City. Since its inception, the City has never received an application
for an adult business.
B. Amendment
Section 17.08.020 (H) (Description of commercial/office/industrial districts.) of
Chapter 17.08 (Commercial/Office/Industrial Districts) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the
Temecula Municipal Code is amended to add:
"Special Use Overlay Zone No. 1 is depicted on the map attached as Exhibit B to
Ordinance No. 15- and is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth
in full."

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA AMENDING THE LAND USE ELEMENT,
THE LAND USE POLICY MAP, THE CIRCULATION
ELEMENT, AND THE COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT
OF THE GENERAL PLAN IN CONFORMITY WITH THE
UPTOWN JEFFERSON SPECIFIC PLAN
THE TEMECULA CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND
RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. Recitals and Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. The Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan ("Specific Plan") has been initiated
and prepared on behalf of the City of Temecula. The Specific Plan area is
approximately 2.3 miles long and encompasses approximately 560 acres. The Specific
Plan area is located north of Rancho California Road, west of Interstate 15, south of
Cherry Street, and east of Diaz Road. The Specific Plan area is divided into six zoning
districts: Uptown Center District, Uptown Hotel/Tourism District, Uptown Sports/Transit
District, Uptown Arts District, Creekside Village District and the Murrieta Creek
Recreation and Open Space District. In addition, there are two overlay zones:
Creekside Village Commercial Zone and the Wilder Hills Residential Overlay Zone. It is
projected that approximately 5.5 million square feet of new development could be
constructed in the Specific Plan area within twenty years. This includes approximately
1.7 million square of feet of commercial development, 315 new hotel rooms and 3,726
new residential dwelling units.
B. The adoption of the Specific Plan also requires a General Plan
amendment, a zoning code amendment to add the Specific Plan area, a zoning map
amendment to change the zoning classification of the parcels located within the Speck
Plan area, and the elimination of the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan area from the Adult
Business Overlay Zone (collectively referred to as the "Project').
C. The General Plan Amendment encompasses 1) an amendment to the
Land Use Element incorporating the description of the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan,
adding Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan to the Approved Specific Plan Areas (Table LU-
4), removing Jefferson Avenue Mixed Use Area from the Land Use Focus Areas (Figure
LU-5) and Mixed Use Overlay Areas (Table LU-6), and amending the Land Use Policy
Map (Figure LU-3), 2) an amendment to the Community Design Element incorporating
the description of Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan to the text of the Community Design
Element, amending the Community Design Plan (Figure CD-1) by removing Mixed Use
Overlay Area No. 1, identifying the intersections of Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue,
Overland Drive/Jefferson Avenue, and Del Rio/Jefferson Avenue as focal intersections,
and identifying Jefferson Avenue for a major streetscape improvements, and 3) an
amendment to the Roadway Plan (Figure C-2) of the Circulation Element of the General
-1-
11086-0006\1891916v2.dm
Plan by changing the classification of Jefferson Avenue, north of Winchester Road, from
a Principal Arterial (6-lane divided) to a Major Arterial (4-lane divided), collectively
referred to as the "General Plan Amendment."
D. On October 21, 2015 and November 4, 2015, the Planning Commission
held public hearings to consider whether to recommend the adoption of the Specific
Plan, the General Plan Amendment, zoning code admendments, and zoning map
amendments, and certification of the Final EIR. On November 4, 2015, after due
consideration of the entire record before the Planning Commission, and after due
consideration of the testimony regarding the proposed amendments, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 15- recommending, in part, that the City
Council approve the General Plan Amendment including: amending the Land Use
Element, the Land Use Policy Map, the Community Design Element, and the Circulation
Element to create consistency between the Specific Plan and the City's General Plan.
E. On November 17, 2015, the City Council held a public hearing to review
the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Cal. Pub. Res. Code §
21000 et seq. ("CEQA"), and the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 C.C.R. § 15000 et seq.
F. Upon the close of the public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 15-_, certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report ("Final EIR"), adopting
Findings pursuant to CEQA, adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and
adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project. Resolution
No. 15- and the findings therein are hereby incorporated by this reference as
though set forth in full.
G On October 13, 2015, the City Council of the City of Temecula considered
the proposed Project including the Specific Plan, the General Plan Amendments, the
Zoning Code Amendments and Zoning Map Amendment, the elimination of the Uptown
Jefferson Specific Plan area from the Adult Business Overlay Zone the Draft EIR, the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the Statement of Overriding
Considerations, at a duly noticed public hearing at which time all interested persons had
an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter. The
City Council considered all the testimony and any comments received regarding the
proposed Project, the Draft EIR, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and
the Statement of Overriding Considerations prior to and at the public hearing.
H. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
SECTION 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council, in approving the General
Plan Amendment hereby further finds, determines and declares that:
(1) The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest;
The General Plan Amendment, which will establish the Specific Plan area,
is in the public interest. The Specific Plan area includes much of the
oldest commercial development in the City. At one time, the Specific Plan
area was vibrant and 'bustling with au6viiy. Altliuuyil mdiiy of the
-2-
1 1086-0006\1 891916v1doc
businesses within the Specific Plan area are still economically-vibrant and
provide vital services to the community, the area has since been
overshadowed by new development and private investment in other parts
of the City. As a result, the Specific Plan seeks to spark the revitalization
of the area which is critical to its long term future and will promote
economic longevity which is in the public interest.
(2) The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety
and welfare of the community;
The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety, and
welfare of the community. The City has engaged in extensive studies and
review of the potential impacts of the Specific Plan as well as the various
potential benefits to the City by the development of the Specific Plan and
concluded that the Specific Plan is in the best interests of and is not
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the City. The
Specific Plan was reviewed and determined to be in conformance with the
City's General Plan, as amended. These documents set policies and
standards that protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. In
addition, the Specific Plan establishes specific building design guidelines
and standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the surrounding
community in terms of density, design and circulation. Therefore, the
Specific Plan is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the
community.
(3) The General Plan Amendment is compatible with existing and
surrounding uses;
The proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible with surrounding
land uses. The current land uses north, east and west of the Specific Plan
area consist primarily of commercial and industrial uses. The current land
uses to the south of the Specific Plan area consist of predominately tourist
service development. The Specific Plan would provide for a mix of land
uses including commercial, and residential uses. Northwest and northeast
of the proposed Specific Plan area is open space. The Specific Plan
would maintain approximately 240-acres zoned Open Space-
Conservation. The Specific Plan area is adjacent to Murrieta Creek, but
would preserve the open space designation that surrounds the creek.
(4) The amendments will not have an adverse effect on the community
and are consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted
General Plan;
The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the direction,
goals and policies of the General Plan. The General Plan amendments
will establish the Specific Plan area which will implement the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, provide balanced and diversified land
-3-
11086-0006\1 891916vldoc
uses, and impose appropriate standards and requirements with respect to
land development and use in order to maintain the overall quality of life
and the environment within the City. The goals and policies in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan encourage "a complete and integrated
mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses
(Goal 1)," and "a City of diversified development character where rural and
historical areas are protected and co-exist with newer urban development
(Goal 2)." The General Plan Amendment establishing the Specific Plan
area will assist in implementing these goals by establishing neighborhoods
that are upscale and culturally robust, each with a distinct character and
identity, offering a mix of homes, shops, offices, restaurants and other
locally-serving uses. The Specific Plan's land use mix will include
commercial, retail and residential uses, public open space amenities and
Intentlonal pedestrian-orientated design of streets and sidewalks that will
maximize the connectivity of the area. The Specific Plan establishes six
zoning districts which are based upon current and historical uses in order
to cultivate a unique character for each area. This will ensure that locally-
owned and operated business and services will continue to thrive, side-by-
side with the new wave of entrepreneurial ventures. The proposed
General Plan Amendment will result in compatible future development,
which will meet the recommended land use and circulation pattern,
maximum density and intensity of development, a desired mix of uses and
other factors consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
SECTION 3. Amendment to the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element of
the General Plan is hereby amended by adding the description of the Uptown Jefferson
Specific Plan and the Specific Plan Implementation to the text of the Land Use Element
and adding Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan to the Approved Specific Plan Areas (Table
LU-4), and removing Jefferson Avenue Mixed Use Area from the Land Use Focus Areas
(Figure LU-5) and Mixed Use Overlay Areas (Table LU-6) as provided in Exhibit "A,"
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
SECTION 4. Amendment to the Land Use Policy Map. The Land Use Policy
Map Figure LU-3 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan is hereby amended to
include the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan Areaas provided in Exhibit "B," attached
hereto incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
SECTION 5. Amendment to the Community Design Element. The Community
Design Element is hereby amended by adding the description of Uptown Jefferson
Specific Plan to the text of the Community Design Element, amending the Community
Design Plan (Figure CD-1) by removing Mixed Use Overlay Area No. 1, identifying the
intersections of Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue, Overland Drive/Jefferson Avenue,
and Del Rio/Jefferson Avenue as focal intersections, and identifying Jefferson Avenue
for a major streetscape improvements as provided in Exhibit "C," attached hereto
incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.

SECTION 6. Amendment to the Circluation Element. The Roadway Plan (Figure
C-2) of the Circulation Element of the General Plan, is hereby amended by changing the
classification of Jefferson Avenue, north of Winchester Road, from a Principal Arterial
(6-lane divided) to a Major Arterial (4-lane divided) as provided in Exhibit "D," attached
hereto incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
SECTION 7. City Manager Authorization. The City Manager is hereby
authorized and directed to take all steps necessary to implement these amendments.

Code section 65300.5. Insofar as other portions of the General Plan need to be revised
to effectuate General Plan Amendment, the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed
to make all necessary revisions to effectuate this amendment.

date of Ordinance No. 15- , "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA

For various reasons, many parcels in the community have not been
developed to their maximum density or intensity. Future
development is expected to occur at the target level of density or
intensity stated in Table LU-1 for each land use designation. For
SIEcAC PLAINS
Many areas within the City and Planning Area are subject to the
plans,pohoes and implementation measures of currently adopted or
anticipated future Specific Plans. The purpose of Speafic Plans is to
provide comprehensive planning of large areas consistent with the
General Plan. A Specific Plan area designation is used to identify 25
such arms within the Temecula Planning Area,which because of size,
location, and/or special development opportunities require a
coordinated and comprehensive planning approach (see Figure LU-
1). In identified Specific Plan areas of 100 or more acres,approval of
a Specific Plan is required poor to approval of any discretionary land
use entitlement or issuance of any building or grading Penton. In
some arms,Village Center Plans,which allow greater intensities,can
also be used. Planned development overlays can be used for smaller
Areas.
Specific Plans must be prepared in accordance with the requirements
of Section 65451 of the California Government Code and the City's
Development Code, which contains some additional requirements
tailored to meet local needs and conditions. Designated arms will
require detailed plus indicating land uses, circulation, major
infrastructure and facilities, open space and parks, and appropriate
implementation measures. All Specific Plans will be evaluated for
consistency with the goals, policies, plans and programs of the
General Plan.
Approved Specific Plan Amu—As shown in Table LU-4,a total of
24 Specific Plans have been approved within the planning am as of
t ktober 'x115. Specific Plan documents for each of these Areas Are
available for reference at the City Planning g Department. Approved
land uses for each Specific Plan Are shown on the 1.and Use Policy
Map.

OLD TOWN Old Town Temecula represents a great opportunity for the City to
TFmFcuLA preserve its heritage while promoting local tourism. The Old Town
area is recognized as the heart of the City and a separate Specific Plan
has been prepared for the area. While the area no longer functions as
a gown Center" or "Downtown," many of the attributes of Old
f% Town help to establish the area as a special place within the City of
Temecula. The placement of additional civic and cultural uses in Old
u Town would help revitalize
and restore the area. .. .
