BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On September 6, 2022, Planning Applications PA21-0075 and PA21-0076, a Development Plan
and Conditional Use Permit for an approximately 10,000 square foot automobile service station
consisting of six fueling pumps, convenience store, quick service rest aurant, and multi-tenant
retail building located at 41480 Sanborn Avenue was administratively approved.
On February 16, 2023, Alfred Daher submitted Planning Application No. PA23-0071, a
Conditional Use Permit and on April 4, 2023, submitted Planning Application No. PA23-0150, a
Public Convenience or Necessity for a Type 20 ABC License for off-sale beer and wine at a
previously approved gasoline service station and convenience store located at 41480 Sanborn
Avenue.
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 acquisition of a Type 20 ABC License (Off Sale Beer & Wine) will allow the applicant to be
competitive with other service stations in the area as there are six (6) other service stations within
the Census Tract that operate with a Type 20 ABC License. While the sale of beer and wine is
an incidental or conditionally permitted use, the Census Tract is “over-concentrated” with off
sale licenses (Types 20 and 21) and requires a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for an
additional license. Per ABC, there are two (2) off-sale licenses allowed and eighteen existing
within the Census Tract. Of those eighteen licenses, sixteen are active, one (1) is suspended, and
one (1) has been surrendered.
Pursuant to Section 17.10.020 of the Temecula Municipal Code the following standards have
been added to the Conditions of Approval for the project:
i. No beer or wine shall be displayed within five feet of the cash register or building
entrance.
ii. No sale of alcoholic beverages shall be made from a drive-up window.
iii. No display or sale of beer or wine shall be made from an ice tub or similar device or
unit.
iv. No beer or wine advertising shall be located on motor fuel islands.
v. No beer or wine advertising shall be located on the building, windows, doors, or on
freestanding signage.
vi. No self-illuminated advertising for beer or wine shall be located on buildings or
freestanding signage.
vii. Only employees on duty between the hours of ten p.m. and two a.m. who are at least
twenty-one years of age may sell alcoholic beverages.
viii. Distilled spirits and pre-mixed spirit cocktails are prohibited.

LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise on April 20, 2023, and
mailed to the property owners within a 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as there is no
possibility the proposed project would have a significant impact on the environment pursuant to
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). A Notice of Exemption will be prepared and will
be filed in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (Code Section 17.04.010.E)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
Automotive service stations selling beer and/or wine, as conditioned, is an allowable use within
the Uptown Temecula Specific Plan. Therefore, the use will be consistent with the General Plan
for Temecula as well as the requirements for State law and other Ordinances of the City.
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 ABC license is associated with a previously approved but not constructed automobile
service station. As conditioned, the proposed 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 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 b y the Planning Commission or City
Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The application will allow for a Type 20 ABC License (Off Sale Beer & Wine) at a previously
approved automobile service station. The site will remain unchanged in size and shape to
accommodate the use prescribed in the Development Code and Uptown Temecula Specific Plan
as required by the Planning Commission or City Council 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.
As conditioned, the project will meet all requirements of the Development Code and General
Plan which provide 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. The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found
to be consistent with, all applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to
4
ensure that the development will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the
public health, safety and welfare.
That the decision to 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 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.
The project has been reviewed for, and as conditioned, has been found to be consistent with, all
applicable policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the
development will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health,
safety and welfare.
Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (Section 17.10.020)
Whether or not the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code.
As proposed, the project would operate as a gas station with a convenience store. The proposed
use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan which specifies that the Uptown
Temecula Specific Plan designation includes automotive service stations selling beer and/or
wine serving the entire community. The sale of beer and wine would serve as an incidental use
to the establishment operations.
Whether or not the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and character of
adjacent land uses.
As conditioned, the previously approved gas station with a convenience store is consistent with
the City of Temecula General Plan. The sale of beer and wine serves as an incidental use to the
previously approved project and is not anticipated to add additional impacts to the project.
Therefore, the use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses,
buildings and structures, and the proposed conditional uses will not adversely affect the adjacent
uses, buildings or structures.
Whether or not the proposed use would have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses.
The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses,
buildings and structures, and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses,
buildings or structures as the surrounding uses are commercial in nature. In addition, the site
will remain unaltered, and 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.
Whether or not the proposed use would result in an excessive number of similar establishments
in close proximity.
5
The project is located in a Census Tract which ABC considers “over-concentrated” with off-sale
licenses. Per ABC, two off-sale licenses are allowed in this tract, and eighteen currently exist.
Therefore, a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity is required for the project t o be the
nineteenth establishment with an off-sale ABC License within the Census Tract. A license for a
project in the census tract for a Type 20 (off-sale beer and wine) would not result in an excessive
number of similar establishments as it would be the seventh off-sale license for an automobile
service station and would allow the applicant to be competitive with similar businesses in the
census tract and the City of Temecula.

PC RESOLUTION NO. 2023-
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING PLANNING
APPLICATION NO. PA23-0150, A FINDING OF PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY FOR THE OPERATION
OF A GAS STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE UNDER
A TYPE 20 (OFF-SALE BEER AND WINE) ABC LICENSE
AT 41480 SANBORN AVENUE AND MAKING A FINDING
OF EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF 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 February 16, 2023, Alfred Daher filed Planning Application Nos. PA23-0071
a Conditional Use Permit for a Type 20 ABC license for off-sale beer and wine. On April 4,
2023, Alfred Daher filed Planning Application No. PA23-0150 a Finding of Public Convenience
and Necessity. These applications (collectively “project”), were filed 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 proposed project
and environmental review on May 3, 2023, 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.
PA23-0150, 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 th e
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity, Development Code Section 17.10.020:
A. Whether or not the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and
Development Code;
As proposed, the project would operate as a gas station with a convenience store. The
proposed use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan which specifies that
the Uptown Temecula Specific Plan designation includes automotive service stations
selling beer and/or wine serving the entire community. The sale of beer and wine would
serve as an incidental use to the establishment operations.
B. Whether or not the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and
character of adjacent land uses;
As conditioned, the previously approved gas station with a convenience store is
consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan. The sale of beer and wine serves as
an incidental use to the previously approved project and is not anticipated to add
additional impacts to the project. Therefore, the use is compatible with the nature,
condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed
conditional uses will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
C. Whether or not the proposed use would have an adverse effect on adjacent land
uses;
The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent
uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent
uses, buildings or structures as the surrounding uses are commercial in nature. In
addition, the site will remain unaltered, and 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.
D. Whether or not the proposed use would result in an excessive number of similar
establishments in close proximity;
The project is located in a Census Tract which ABC considers “over-concentrated” with
off-sale licenses. Per ABC, two off-sale licenses are allowed in this tract, and eighteen
currently exist. Therefore, a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity is required for
the project to be the nineteenth establishment with an off-sale ABC License within the
Census Tract. A license for a project in the census tract for a Type 20 (off-sale beer and
wine) would not result in an excessive number of similar establishments as it would be
the seventh off-sale license for an automobile service stations and would allow the
applicant to be competitive with similar businesses in the census tract and the City of
Temecula.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Public Convenience or Necessity:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant
to Section 15061(b)(3) as there is no possibility the proposed project would have a significant
impact on the environment.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA23-0150, subject to the Findings for Public Convenience or
Necessity with no conditions of approval.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
Planning Commission this 3rd day of May, 2023.
