A fast-food restaurant and a 325-unit apartment complex will be considered during the March 20 Temecula Planning Commission meeting, and the public is invited to weigh in during hearings on the projects.
During the meeting, the commissioners are first scheduled to decide whether to approve a development plan that includes construction of a 3,590-square-foot McDonald’s restaurant in a commercial center located at 30580 Rancho California Road. The commissioners will also decide whether to approve a conditional-use permit for a drive-through at the fast-food site.
The proposed McDonald's would be located in the Palomar Village Shopping Center, just west of Margarita Road, on the north side of Rancho California Road.
According to city documents, on October 18, 2012 applications were submitted to the city for the project, which consists of demolishing an existing commercial building and replacing it with a new one for the McDonald’s. The existing stand-alone building is situated near the southern portion of the Palomar Village Shopping center.
The restaurant dining area would be open to the public from 5 a.m. – 1 a.m, and the drive-through is proposed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to city documents.
During Wednesday’s meeting, the commissioners will also decide whether to allow for zone changes near Wolf Creek that would allow for a 325-unit apartment complex and 49 age-restricted single-family units to be constructed on a 22.73-acre site located at the corner of Pechanga Parkway and Loma Linda Road.
Another project in Temecula -- Roripaugh Ranch -- is also on the planning commission agenda Wednesday night. Commissioners will consider whether to extend the term of the Roripaugh Ranch Development Agreement an additional 15 years to allow continued development in the area. Many of the projects outlined in the approved agreement have not been completed; others have yet to start, according to city documents.
Currently, the approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (RRSP) allows the development of 2,015 residential units on 804.7 acres, including 1,056 low and low-medium density single-family units, and 959 medium density single-family units. The RRSP also allows development of 15.4 acres (110,000 square feet) of commercial uses, a 22-acre elementary school site, a 20-acre middle school site, a 5.1-acre neighborhood park, a 19.7-acre community park with lighted athletic fields, 9.1 acres of private recreational facilities, 202.7 acres of biological habitat, 56.6 acres of flood control and landscaped slopes, and a 2-acre fire station.
The project is required to construct a number of improvements, including regional and local roads such as Butterfield Stage Road, Murrieta Hot Springs Road, and Nicolas Road, and major sewer, water and drainage facilities, according to city documents.
Wednesday night’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Civic Center’s City Council Chambers, 41000 Main Street. Click here for more information.
unless the glow income is banned .We see what kind of trash these bring in . Either a drugged up dad or mom on hud who has no goals in life but to spunge off the system and raise hoodrats . Good luck Temecula pd . Maybe this is why Riverside co is hiring more sheriffs to get ready for these apartments .
I completely, fully agree with your statements as I do everyones here so far. I also get called insensitive or other wonderful names when I comment on issues just like this. Facts are facts and the last 10 years has shown that. We have more and more scum, dealing of drugs, kids and adults addicted to drugs, domestic violence, assaults, thefts, cars being stolen, burglaries etc. etc. Then prior to that. Apartment complex's are notorious for selling of narcotics, and also alcohol and cigaerettes also to underage kids. Not just adults. Ask any police officer in Temecula, or any City in our corner of Riverside and they will tell you the same thing. They also bring more riff raff into our schools selling drugs. Into our schools that do not have any more room, and certainly cannot even control the amount of drugs we have in them now. Then when our law enforcement try to control it someones parent yells "foul ball" you went against the rights of my child and lets the kids go Officers. My own daughters now well out of high school know the apartment complex's, and the information talked about at school of what has what, where they are etc. all the way up to Mead Valley. If our own teenagers in school know this, why doesnt our City and why arent we stopping this? We are looking more and more like Los Angeles County.
We are not saying that about everyone. Also do you want to live in an apartment that is filled with low income and what it brings in the way of drugs, thefts, rapes, fights, more people living in the apartments then are suppose to, a place for everyone into drugs hanging out around there? If I was to choose an apartment life which someone I have even thought of if we sold our house, I would have to look far and wide to find one that was not filled with the criminal activities that come with low income renters on aid. In no time the entire place turns into trash. I do not think I am better then anyone else, but I know I am better then a low income mess of people on aid programs, refusing to work all their lives except under the table, with 13. 5 kids, with 5 grandchildren if not more, 5 boyfriends to kids living there and dealing drugs and whatever else they can get their hands on. For our truly low income elderly I cringe to think of them being forced to live in a nice new apartment that will soon turn into a crime filled ghetto. My mom at one time wanted a two bedroom apartment on the ground level so she could socialize more with other elderly and we did quick turn arounds on many many apartment complex's once inside. She changed her mind real fast thank God and moved into one of my brothers houses. I hope you are able to find an apartment somewhere nice that stays that way Becky Honk. With no heavy criminal activity.
