Committee

PREPARED BY: Matt Peters, Assistant Director of Community Development
BACKGROUND: On December 12, 2023, the City Council of the City of Temecula
adopted a Resolution reconstituting the Old Town Local Review Board by Establishing the Old
Town Local Advisory Committee. The following staff report is the same information provided to
the City Council and is repeated here to provide context and an overview for the new members of
the Old Town Local Advisory Committee.
The City of Temecula has one board (1) Old Town Local Review Board, and four commissions –
(1) Community Services Commission, (2) Planning Commission, (3) Race, Equity, Diversity and
Inclusion Commission, and (4) Traffic Safety Commission. The City Council has the power to
establish certain boards and commissions as it deems necessary pursuant to Chapter 2.40 of the
Temecula Municipal Code, and as specified in the Old Town Specific Plan. All boards and
commissions serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council, while the Planning Commission
also serves as a statutory body over certain land use decisions.
On September 26, 2023, the City Council considered a proposal to reorganize the Old Town Local
Review Board to meet new challenges and to take advantage of current opportunities related to
grant funding and economic development. Currently, the Old Town Local Review Board has the
following assigned duties as outlined in the Old Town Specific Plan:
Review and comment on all Level II projects;
Review and approve any Finding of Historic Appropriateness;
Review and comment on any requests to modify, alter any historic structure or
building; and

Temecula Local Historic District.
