BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On January 31, 2020, Alessandro Prestifilippo submitted Planning Application PA20-0192. The
application is a Conditional Use Permit to allow for an ABC Type 47 License (On-Sale General
– Eating Place).
On May 20, 2015 a Modification (PA14-0188) to add approximately 6,657 square feet to an
existing two-story retail/office commercial structure located at 28475 Old Town Front Street was
approved by the Planning Commission. The restaurant associated with the proposed Conditional
Use Permit is located in this building.
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The project site is an approximately 2,484 square foot commercial suite with an outdoor patio,
located within the Downtown Core District of the Old Town Specific Plan. The proposed hours
of operations are Monday through Sunday, 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Live entertainment is not
proposed as part of the application.
The Conditional Use Permit will allow the restaurant to obtain a Type 47 (On–Sale General –
Eating Place) License. This license will allow for beer, wine, and distilled s pirits to be served on
the premises. Staff has confirmed with ABC that the Planning Commission does not make the
finding of Public Convenience or Necessity application (PCN) for restaurants. ABC will process
the findings of PCN upon approval of the Conditional Use Permit after the license application
process has been initiated. The applicant must state their case in support of the PCN to ABC
rather than to the local jurisdiction in the request of the license. Conditions of approval have
been added to the Conditional Use Permit that requires a full menu be available at all hours that
alcohol is served and that termination of alcohol sales shall be no less that one half hour prior to
the closing for all nights of operation.

LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on May 7, 2020 and mailed
to the property owners within 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15301, Class 1,
Existing Facilities).
The Conditional Use Permit will allow an existing restaurant within Old Town to obtain an ABC
Type 47 (On-Sale General – Eating Place) License. The use is located within an existing
structure. All access to public utilities are available to the site. The proposed use, with issuance
of a Conditional Use Permit, is in conformance with all zoning requirements contained in the
Development Code and Old Town Specific Plan. As a result, the conditional use represents a
negligible expansion of the restaurant use.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (Development Code Section 17.04.010.E)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The business will operate as a full-service restaurant with the primary purpose of offering a full
menu of food within an existing building. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the
City of Temecula General Plan, which identifies that the site is located in the Specific Plan
Implementation (SPI) land use category. The Development Code states that restaurants that
serve distilled spirits are conditionally permitted uses. The sale of distilled spirits under a Type
47 (On-Sale General for a Bona Fide Public Eating Place) License would serve as an incidental
use to the establishment’s operations.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of
adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect
the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
As conditioned, the proposed conditional use for a Type 47 (On -Sale General - Eating Place)
License is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and
structures because the surrounding area includes similar uses such as restaurants that serve
distilled spirits. The proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses,
buildings or structures because the surrounding buildings are designed for restaurant uses and
the site is currently approved for a restaurant use.
The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards,
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other development
features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the Planning Commission or
Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
4
The existing building has been approved for a restaurant use and is adequate in size and shape
to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in the Development Code and required
by the Planning Commission in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community.
The project meets all the requirements of the Old Town Specific Plan, Development Code, Fire
Code and the Building Code, which provided safeguards for the health, safety and general
welfare of the community. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to be detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the community.
That the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for a conditional use
permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Director of
Community Development, Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for a Conditional Use Permit has been
based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.

Section 303 (a) (PC). On-sale licensees may not: (a) employ hosts, hostesses, or

to pay such an employee a percentage of the receipts from the sales of drinks solicited; (c)
permit any person whether an employee or not, to loiter for the purpose of soliciting an
alcoholic drink.
19.
Maintain Premises as a Bona Fide Eating Place. Type 41, 47 and 49 licensees must operate
and maintain their licensed premises as a bona fide eating place. They must make actual and
substantial sale of meals, during the normal meal hours that they are open, at least five days a
week. Normal meal hours are: breakfast 6:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m., lunch 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.,
and dinner 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Premises that are not open five days a week must serve
meals on the days they are open. The premises must be equipped and maintained in good
faith. This means the premises must possess working refrigeration and cooking devices, pots,
pans, utensils, table service, condiment dispensers, menus, posters, signs, and enough goods
to make substantial meals. The premises must comply with all regulations of the local health
department. Incidental, sporadic or infrequent sales of meals or a mere offering of meals
without actual sales is not compliance. “Meals” means the usual assortment of food
commonly ordered at various hours of the day. The service of only sandwiches or salads is
not considered compliance. However, certain specialty entrees, such as pizza, fish or ribs,
and an assortment of other foods, such as soups, salads or desserts, may be considered a
meal. The Department will presume that a licensee is operating as a bona fide eating place if
the gross sales of food prepared and sold to guests on the premises exceeds the gross sales
of alcoholic beverages. “Prepared” means any processing preliminary to the final serving of
food. (Note: Some licensees have a “conditional” license that requires food sales to be 50%
or more of the total gross sales Sections 23038 and 23787 B&P).
20.
No Alcohol Sales Between 2:00 am and 6:00 am. Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver
alcohol (by the drink or by the package) between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day.
No person may knowingly purchase alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Section 25631
B&P Code). Licensees may not permit patrons or employees to consume alcohol between
2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day (even if someone bought the drinks before 2:00 a.m.
Section 25632 B&P). Some ABC licenses have special conditi ons (restrictions) as to hours of
sale that are stricter that the law. Those licenses are marked “Conditional” (23805 B&P).
21.
Inspections. Police officers, sheriff’s deputies and ABC investigators are sworn law
enforcement officers (peace officers) with powers of arrest. Whether in plainclothes or
uniform, peace officers have the legal right to visit and inspect any licensed premises at any
time during business hours without a search warrant or probable cause. This includes
inspecting the bar and back bar, store room, office, closed or locked cabinets, safes, kitchen,
or any other area within the licensed premises. It is legal and reasonable for licensees to
exclude the public from some areas of the premises. However, licensees cannot and must not
deny entry to, resist, delay, obstruct, or assault a peace officer (Sections 25616, 25753, and
25755 B&P; 148 and 241 (b) PC).
22.
Disorderly House. Licensees may not permit their licensed premises to become a disorderly
house. A disorderly house is a licensed outlet (on or off sale) that: (a) disturbs neighbors with
noise, loud music, loitering, littering, vandalism, urination or defecation, graffiti, etc.; and/or (b)
has many ongoing crimes inside such as drunks, fights, assaults, prostitution, narcotics, etc.
The licensed premise includes the parking lot (Section 25601 B&P; 316 PC).
23.
Entertainment Rules. On-sale licensees who offer entertainment must abide by the following
rules: (1) No licensee shall permit any person to perform acts of or acts wh ich simulate; (a)
sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation, flagellation or any sexual
acts which are prohibited by law; (b) the touching, caressing or fondling on the breast,
buttocks, anus or genitals; (c) the displaying of the pubic hair, anus, vulva or genitals; and (2)
Subject to the provisions of subdivision (1) hereof, entertainers whose breasts and/or buttocks
are exposed to view shall perform only upon a stage at least 18 inches above the immediate
floor level and removed at least six feet from the nearest patron. No licensee shall permit any
person to remain in or upon the licensed premises who exposes to public view any portion of
her or her genitals or anus (Rule 143.3 CCR. Also violates Section 311.6 PC if conduct is
“obscene,” e.g. intercourse, sodomy, masturbation, etc.)
24.
Under Number of Calls for Service. Licensees may not permit their licensed premises to be a
problem for the local law enforcement agency by needing an undue number of calls for
service. The licensed premise includes the parking lot (Sections 24200 (a) (B&P).
25.
Questions Regarding Conditions. Any questions regarding these conditions should be
directed to the Temecula Police Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951)
506-5132.
