BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The development plan for the existing building (of which the tenant intends to occupy the second
floor) was originally approved on December 16, 2015, as a “shell” building.
On September 25, 2019, the Planning Commission approved a CUP for the first floor to be
occupied by Coin-Op, a restaurant with arcade games serving beer, wine and distilled spirits.
On September 10, 2020, Jeffrey Lohman, on behalf of Topspin Pizza & Pong, submitted Planning
Application PA20-1074, a Conditional Use Permit modification to allow for an ABC Type 47
license, with no live entertainment for the future Topspin Pizza & Pong restaurant located at 28588
Old Town Front Street, second floor.
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 applicant for Topspin Pizza & Pong intends to occupy the entire second floor with a similar
concept as the first floor’s Coin-Op restaurant, a restaurant with games, food, no live
entertainment, and a Type 47 ABC license (On-Sale General - Eating Place) which allows for beer,
wine, and distilled spirits to be served. Minors are allowed on the premises.
The restaurant will provide a menu of specialty pizzas. There will be seven ping pong tables
available inside the restaurant for people to play. The applicant is not proposing any live
entertainment, dancing, or karaoke as part of this application.
The proposed restaurant intends to operate every day of the week between the hours of 11:00 A.M.
through 11:00 P.M. Private security will be staffed Thursday through Sunday, from 8:00 P.M.
through the restaurant closure at 11:00 P.M.

LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on March 4, 2021, and mailed to
the property owners within the required 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 request for a Conditional Use Permit for the restaurant to serve beer, wine, and distilled
spirits will be conducted in an existing building and involves a negligible expansion of the existing
and expected uses. 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 the Old Town Temecula Specific Plan.
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 project will allow for a proposed restaurant to offer the sale of alcoholic beverages within a
recently completed commercial structure. Restaurants are an allowable use within the Downtown
Core District of the Specific Plan and it is common for restaurants to offer alcoholic beverages.
The application does not propose any revisions to the approved structure or site. Therefore, the
operation of a restaurant that allows the sale of alcohol is a negligible expansion of use beyond
that which exists under the current conditions. Furthermore, this unique restaurant offering ping
pong games is consistent with the General Plan (Economic Development- Policy 6.3) which
emphasizes “Continuing to expand Old Town’s role in local Tourism and improve its
attractiveness, accessibility, and economic vitality, as well as its interaction with other local
attractions.”
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.
The conditional use will allow a proposed restaurant to serve alcoholic beverages. This type of
use is permitted in the Downtown Core district of the Old Town Specific Plan u pon the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit. Alcohol-serving restaurants are common throughout the City
including in Old Town. In addition, the use has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the City
of Temecula Development Code. This Code contains provisions designed to provide for the use’s
compatibility with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and
structures. The use is considered compatible with the nature, condition and development of
4
adjacent uses, buildings and structures as the adjacent uses also include restaurant uses with
alcohol sales. This includes the use on the first floor of the building is a similar use that also sells
alcohol under a Type 47 license. The conditional use is not anticipated to adversely affect the
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
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 was constructed in conformance with the Development Code, Building Code,
and Fire Code. Therefore, the site for the 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 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 Development Code, Fire Code and Building Code,
which provided safeguards for the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The
business will be providing a security guard, Thursday through Sunday, from 8:00 P.M. through
the restaurant closure at 11:00 P.M. to help ensure that the service of alcohol at the restaurant
does not create a condition that is detrimental to 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.
