HISTORICAL APPROPRIATENESS TO DEMOLISH AN
APPROXIMATELY 998 SQUARE FOOT HISTORIC
STRUCTURE (AL OTTO HOUSE) LOCATED AT 28717
PUJOL STREET., AND MAKING A FINDING OF
EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) (APN 922-062-
008)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On June 16, 2023, Al Aguirre with A.K.A. & Associates, Inc. filed Planning
Application No. PA23-0252, a Certificate of Historical Appropriateness Application 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 September 20, 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. PA23-0252
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 Application
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Certificate of Historical Appropriateness, Old Town Specific Plan Section III.1.3.a
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with
all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City.
The General Plan identifies the project site as Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) because
it is located within the Old Town Specific Plan. The project will allow for the approval of
a Certificate of Historical Appropriateness to demolish an existing historic structure that
has fallen into severe disrepair. The project, as conditioned is also consistent with other
applicable requirements of State law and local ordinances, including the California
Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and Building Codes
B. The project is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and general
welfare.
The site has fallen into disrepair and represents a hazard to the public. Furthermore, an
engineering report states that that the structure is beyond repair and should be demolished.
Demolition of the structure is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and
general welfare.
C. That the proposed project is in conformance with the requirements of the Old Town
Specific Plan, including the goals, objectives and policies, and architectural guidelines and
standards.
The project will allow for the demolition of an existing historic structure that has fallen
into severe disrepair. The condition of the structure has caused the overall project site to
be underutilized. Once demolished, a new use and related development can be pursued for
the site. This is in conformance with Land Use/Economics Objective 3 of the Old Town
Specific Plan. This objective is designed to upgrade underutilized parcels that are currently
functioning at less than their market potential and encourage their highest and best use.
D. The applicant has submitted substantial evidence that the structure is imminently
dangerous or unsafe and that the structure cannot be effectively repaired or retrofitted.
The applicant has submitted a report from Manning Engineering, Inc. stating that the
structure is not safe or repairable and is open for transients to occupy. The report
recommends that the structure be demolished. Staffpresented this report to the City's third-
party engineering review consultant (Interwest)for peer review. The consultant agreed
with the findings of the report prepared by Manning Engineering.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the
Certificate of Historical Appropriateness Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section
15061.b.3)
The project will allow an existing historic structure that has been deemed unsafe and non-
repairable to be demolished upon approval of a Demolition Permit. The project site will
become a vacant lot with no uses or structures proposed once demolition is complete.
Therefore, the project is covered by the commonsense exemption. This is because it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility the project will have a significant effect on
the environment.
Section 4. Conditions, Statement of Operations,and Plans. The Planning Commission
of the City of Temecula approves Planning Application No.PA23-0252,A Certificate of Historical
Appropriateness to demolish a historic structure (Al Otto House) located at 28717 Pujol Street,
subject to the Final Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A and the Plans set forth on Exhibit
B, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
PASSED,APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning Commission
