APPLICATION NO. PA20-0192, A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR ANTICA ITALIA RESTAURANT
TO OBTAIN AN ABC TYPE 47 LICENSE (ON-SALE
GENERAL — EATING PLACE) AT 28475 OLD TOWN
FRONT STREET, AND MAKING A FINDING OF
EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On January 31, 2020, Alessandro Prestifilippo filed Planning Application No.
PA20-0192 a Conditional Use Permit in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General
Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the
time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on May 20, 2020, 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.
D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA20-0192,
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the Conditional
Use Permit hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Conditional Use Permit, Development Code Section 17.04.010.E
A. The proposed 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 offood 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.
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.
D. 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.
E. 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 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Conditional Use Permit:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act,the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15301,
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.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves Planning
Application No. PA20-0192, a Conditional Use Permit to allow for Antica Italia restaurant to
obtain an ABC Type 47 License(On-Sale General—Eating Place)at 28475 Old Town Front Street,
and makes a finding of exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated
herein by this reference.

20. 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).
21. No Alcohol Sales Between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver

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 conditions (restrictions)as to hours of
sale that are stricter that the law. Those licenses are marked "Conditional' (23805 B&P).
22. Inspections. Police officers, sheriffs 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).
