RECOMMENDATION: Adopt 1) a Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending Title 9 & 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code, 2) a Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt a Resolution adopting Specific Plan Amendment No. 11. CEQA: Categorically Exempt per CEQA Section 15061(B)(3) BACKGROUND SUMMARY During the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses of all varieties were put under conditions that likely could have resulted in the loss of many businesses within the City, specifically Old Town. During the pandemic, the City was proactive and established an outdoor dining program that allowed restaurants and retailers to stay open and continue to operate within the limits of then current health restrictions. This proved beneficial, as all businesses who took advantage of the program survived the pandemic and continue to thrive to this day. As the “Jewel of Temecula,” residents have long known that Old Town is a special place; both in terms of its importance to the community as a cultural, historic, and social place for families to enjoy as well as its substantial economic impact to the City and regionally. The exceptional steps taken by businesses and the City to keep Old Town open during this time was no doubt a success. As the impacts of the pandemic eased, Old Town became a victim of its own success, with rising rates of alcohol related incidents, overserving of patrons and various other alcohol related or induced crimes or violations of the Municipal Code. In addition to the rising 2 rates of alcohol related incidents, City Staff was receiving multiple requests from existing and potential businesses to sell alcohol past midnight. In response, the City of Temecula held a joint public workshop of the City Council and Planning Commission on the morning of September 9, 2023. These bodies are responsible for the approval of permits and licenses allowing for businesses to provide or sell alcohol to their guests and patrons. At this meeting, staff presented a history of Old Town and its growth into the lively Old Town is today; this included more recent history of continued alcohol related incidents and in some cases illegal behavior/actions observed. This discussion focused on three topics that the Council requested additional research and information on. They were: 1) Consistent and predictable conditions of approval for businesses that provide alcoholic beverage sales. 2) Type 90 Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) License, which permits entertainment venues to serve distilled spirits, without food service as well as allow minors on the premises. 3) Explore the options of an outdoor live entertainment permit specific to Old Town. Staff received direction from the joint workshop to further analyze and prepare a policy framework for amending the Development Code and began their analysis. After initial analysis, further direction was necessary from the Planning Commission and City Council. A second joint public workshop of the City Council and Planning Commission was held on the morning of February 1, 2024. This meeting focused primarily on how the City wanted to address some specific questions that would shape the framework of the updated policies. Specifically, staff was requesting direction on:  hours of operation  quantity of events/permits  limits on musical instruments (percussion),  relation to City events and residences. After collecting feedback from the joint workshop, staff has prepared a draft ordinance to implement these changes to Chapter 9.10 (Entertainment License), Title 17 (Zoning) and a draft resolution to adopt Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 (SPA No. 5) to the Old Town Specific Plan. Summary of policy The draft proposal incorporates the following: Changes to Chapter 9.10 (Entertainment License)  Creation of a Class IV Entertainment License exclusively for Type 90 establishments Changes to Title 17  Consolidate all alcohol standards and conditions into a new Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol)  Implement standard conditions of approval based upon the land use of the establishment o Close at midnight (new establishments) Changes to the Old Town Specific Plan  Amending the land use table to permit (a maximum of one) Class IV entertainment establishment in conjunction with a live entertainment license and a Type 90 ABC license. 3  Creation of a one-year pilot program allowing outdoor live entertainment, specifically within the Downtown Core District within Old Town Listed below is a summary of the proposed changes, each of which is discussed in greater detail in the analysis section, which follows: Ordinance Amending Title 9 and Title 17 of the Municipal Code Changes to Title 9 Section 9.10.020 (Definitions) 1. Amend the definition of “Entertainment Establishment Types” to include “Class IV Entertainment License” which is specific and only issued to establishments that hold a Type 90 ABC License. 2. Add definition for “Type 90 ABC License.” Section 9.10.060 (Fees) 3. Specify that the Class IV Entertainment License shall have the same Fee amount and application process as that of a Class III Entertainment License as set by City Council Resolution. Section 9.10.090 (Universal entertainment license standards and conditions) 4. Add Class IV Entertainment License, and specify that all requirements applicable to Class I, II, and III Entertainment Licenses are applicable to Class IV with the exception of operational hours. Operating hours for a Class IV Entertainment License are 7:00 a.m. through 10:59 p.m., and alcohol sales ceasing at 11:59 p.m. Section 9.10.125 (Class IV Entertainment Venue Conditions) 5. Add new section implementing operating conditions for Class IV Entertainment Establishments, to include reference to Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol). Changes to Title 17 Table 17.08.030 (Schedule of Permitted Uses Commercial/Office/Industrial Districts) 6. Amend the table to include, “Class IV entertainment establishment as a non-permitted use in all commercial zones, but allowed in the Downtown Core District of the Old Town Specific Plan, and add “Footnote 16” to all land uses that serve or sell alcohol referencing Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol). Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol) 4 7. Create new Chapter, 17.09 (Alcohol). This chapter will contain standards, conditions, and operational requirements for establishments that sell or serve alcohol. In addition, this chapter will include additional definitions, staff training, posting requirements that would establish standards specific to the operation of a Class IV entertainment establishment. Only one Class IV entertainment establishment will be allowed, and it shall be located exclusively within the Downtown Core District in the Old Town Specific Plan. Lastly, the regulations would require that alcohol sales moving forward shall cease at midnight (11:59 p.m.). CUP’s issued prior to this Ordinance may operate under their existing CUP hours. Section 17.10.020 (Supplemental Development Standards 8. Subsection B (Alcoholic Beverage Sales), and Subsection G (Entertainment Establishments) will be relocated to Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol), and the latter renamed “Entertainment Establishments” as shown in Exhibit A. Resolution Amending the Old Town Specific Plan (SP No. 5) 9. The resolution will amend the Specific Plan to establish a pilot (test) program to last 1 year that would allow businesses to provide outdoor live entertainment through the use of a Temporary Use Permit. This program would provide limits for: hours of entertainment, amplification, and other limits necessary for the operation of such an establishment within a mixed use district.. The resolution would also amend the Old Town Specific Plan to include “Class IV entertainment establishment” as a permitted use specifically within the Downtown Core District of the Old Town Specific Plan. ANALYSIS Outlined below is the explanation for the proposed amendments: 1. Section 9.10.020 (Definitions) The proposed Ordinance would amend the definition of “Entertainment Establishment” to include “Class IV Entertainment License” specific and only issued to a business who has a valid Type 90 ABC License. 2. Section 9.10.020 (Definitions) The proposed Ordinance would add a definition for “Type 90 ABC License” as is necessary for the implementation of said license. 3. Section 9.10.090 (Universal Entertainment License Standards and Conditions) 5 The proposed Ordinance would amend this section to include language specifying that the Universal Entertainment License Standards and Conditions would be applicable to all Class IV Entertainment Establishments. This is to ensure consistency across all entertainment licenses issued throughout the City. Additionally, would allow dancing at Class IV entertainment establishments. 4. Section 9.10.125 (Class IV Entertainment Establishment Standards and Conditions) The proposed Ordinance would add a section to implement standards and conditions for Class IV entertainment establishments. These include, but are not limited to, all standards and requirements specified for Class I, II, and III entertainment establishments in addition to increased security and posting requirements. 5. Table 17.08.030 (Schedule of Permitted Uses Commercial/Office/Industrial Districts) The proposed Ordinance would include “Class IV entertainment establishment” within the schedule of permitted uses, however, would not be permitted in any zoning district. A “Footnote 17” is added to provide that a Class IV Entertainment Establishment is permitted in the Downtown Core District of the Old Town Specific Plan. In addition, a “Footnote 16” is added to the table which refers to the newly created Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol) for all such uses that allow the sale of alcohol. 6. Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol) The proposed Ordinance would consolidate alcohol standards into a new “Chapter 17.09 (Alcohol).” This is to create a single location for all standards and requirements for establishments that serve or sell alcohol. In addition, this Ordinance would implement standards specific to the operation of a Class IV entertainment establishment (ABC Type 90) to include a limit of one such establishment, hours of operation, training requirements for employees, etc. Lastly, the ordinance would clarify that alcohol sales moving forward will cease at midnight (11:59 p.m.). However, the Type 90 ABC License explicitly allows alcohol sales two hours prior to and one hour after entertainment ceases. This will require Class IV Entertainment Establishments cease entertainment at 10:59 p.m., to ensure the sale of alcoholic beverages may continue for 1 hour after entertainment ends, with alcohol sales ending at 11:59 p.m. 7. Section 9.10.125 (Class IV Entertainment Establishment Regulations) The proposed Ordinance would add the aforementioned section to include regulations and operational standards specific to Class IV entertainment establishments (Type 90 ABC License). These conditions would be in place to ensure that the operation of such establishments do not negatively impact surrounding residents and businesses. These conditions include a requirement to obtain and maintain in good standing a Class IV entertainment license. 6 8. Old Town Specific Plan Amendments Section III Administration and Historic Preservation The Old Town Specific Plan is being amended to establish a pilot (test) program for outdoor live entertainment at the direction of the City Council who desired to increase the nightlife and entertainment offerings within Old Town. This pilot program includes a sunset clause to terminate 1 year from adoption, unless extended, made permanent, or the program is cancelled or revoked. The resolution would also amend the Old Town Specific Plan to include “Class IV entertainment establishments” as a permitted use specifically within the Downtown Core District of the Old Town Specific Plan. Additionally, the amendment would correct various typographical errors. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise on May 23, 2024. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Ordinance amending Title 9 and Title 7 In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The ordinance establishes citywide regulations on alcohol uses which impact the operation of these businesses to make them safer for the general public. In addition, the ordinance provides that one Class IV entertainment establishment will be permitted in the City but this establishment will only be permitted in an already existing business that holds a Type 42 ABC license. As such, the change in operations to allow live entertainment in this type of venue is not anticipated to have a significant effect on the environment. In addition, the ordinance establishes standards for the operation of Class IV entertainment establishments to ensure that these businesses do not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses. The Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance. Resolution amending the Old Town Specific Plan In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 to the Old Town Specific Plan has been deemed to be exempt from further environmental review as there is no possibility that the proposed action would have a significant impact on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The Specific Plan amendment allows for one Class IV entertainment establishment in the Downtown Core area of the Old Town Specific Plan. This license type would be granted to an already existing business that already holds a Type 42 ABC license and that also holds a Type 90 ABC license. So this would be an expansion of an already existing use in that the use could now hold specific events. In addition, the Specific Plan amendment will allow existing businesses to provide live outdoor entertainment, on a temporary basis as a one-year pilot program. Therefore, there is no possibility this amendment would have a significant effect on the environment. 7 ATTACHMENTS: 1. PC Resolution 2. Exhibit A - Draft City Council Ordinance 3.

Notice of Public Hearing PC RESOLUTION NO. 2024- A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA AMENDING TITLES 9 AND 17 OF THE TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE TO 1) IMPLEMENT AND DEFINE A CLASS IV ENTERTAINMENT LICENSE, 2) AMEND TABLE 17.08.030 (SCHEDULE OF PERMITTED USES COMMERCIAL/OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS) TO INCLUDE CLASS IV ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENT AS A NON PERMITTED USE IN ALL ZONES BUT ALLOWED IN THE OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN AND ADD NOTE REFERENCING CHAPTER 17.09 (ALCOHOL), 3) CREATE A NEW CHAPTER 17.09 (ALCOHOL) AND RELOCATE ALL ALCOHOL REQUIREMENTS FROM CHAPTER 17.10 (SUPPLEMENTAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS) TO CHAPTER 17.09 (ALCOHOL), 4) CREATE STANDARDS FOR ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS, AND 5) MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3)” Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. An increase in the frequency of alcohol related incidents within Temecula, particularly after midnight, prompted the City Council to direct staff to make revisions related to how alcohol uses are regulated which requires amendments conditions and requirements to portions of Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals and Welfare) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code. In addition, a new ABC Type 90 license became effective on January 1, 2024. The City Council directed staff to amend the Municipal Code to address this new license type. B. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the proposed amendments to Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals and Welfare) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code on June 5, 2024, 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 opposition to this matter. C. The proposed amendments to Titles 9 and 17 are consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, and each element thereof. D. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. E. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Further Findings. In recommending adoption of the proposed Ordinance, the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby make the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 (“Relationship to General Plan”) of the Temecula Municipal Code: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan. The proposed Ordinance implements a new ABC License Type (Type 90 Class IV entertainment establishment), creates a new Class IV Entertainment License and establishes regulations for the operation of establishments that serve alcohol to patrons on the premises which furthers the goals and policies contained in the City’s General Plan. Inclusion of Class IV entertainment establishments (ABC Type 90 License) as a permitted use in the Old Town Specific Plan furthers Policy 7.1 of the Land Use Element which is to “Consider locating additional civic, public and cultural facilities in and around the Old Town area. Inclusion of consistent standards for establishments that sell alcohol furthers Goal 1 of the Land Use Element which specifies “A diverse and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. 2. The proposed uses are in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the general plan. The proposed Ordinance implements consistent standards for establishments that sell alcohol, which furthers Goal 3 of the Public Safety Element which is to provide “A safe and secure community free from the threat of personal injury and loss of property.” 3. The proposed uses are to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein. The Ordinance has been designed to be consistent with Policy 3.1 of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan which states, “Encourage a pattern of development that balances revenue generating land uses in phase with other uses that have negative fiscal impacts.” Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 2024- is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The City is establishing citywide regulations on alcohol uses which impact the operation of these businesses to make them safer for the general public. In addition, one class IV entertainment establishment will be permitted in the City but this establishment will only be permitted in an already existing business that holds a Type 42 ABC license. In addition, the ordinance establishes standards for the operation of class IV entertainment establishments to ensure that these businesses do not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses. As such, the change in operations to allow live entertainment in this type of venue is not anticipated to have a significant effect on the environment.

Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. A new California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License Type, Type 90 (Entertainment Venue) became effective on January 1, 2024 and inclusion of this new license type would bring increased visibility and patronage to Temecula. As such, the City Council directed staff to establish criteria for allowing these types of establishments in the City. B. An increase in the frequency of alcohol related incidents within Temecula, particularly after midnight, prompted the City Council to direct staff to make revisions related to how alcohol uses are regulated which requires amendments to portions of Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals and Welfare) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code. C. The code amendments are being made to ensure the Temecula Municipal Code provides a clear and concise process for applicants desiring to serve alcohol within the City and strong tools for compliance. Section 2. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine, and declare that: A. On June 5, 2024, the Temecula Planning Commission considered this Ordinance 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 opposition to this matter. -2- B. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-XX recommending approval of the Ordinance by the City Council. C. On July 9, 2024, the City Council, at a regular meeting, considered the Ordinance 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 opposition to this matter. D. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire re cord of information received at the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. Section 3. Further Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula in approving the proposed Municipal Code amendments hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 (“Relationship to General Plan”) of the Temecula Municipal Code: A. The use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the General Plan; The proposed Ordinance implements a new ABC License Type (Type 90 Class IV entertainment establishment), creates a new Class IV Entertainment License and establishes regulations for the operation of establishments that serve alcohol to patrons on the premises which furthers the goals and policies contained in the City’s General Plan. Inclusion of Class IV entertainment establishments (ABC Type 90 License) as a permitted use in the Old Town Specific Plan furthers Policy 7.1 of the Land Use Element which is to “Consider locating additional civic, public and cultural facilities in and around the Old Town area. Inclusion of consistent standards for establishments that sell alcohol furthers Goal 1 of the Land Use Element which specifies “A diverse and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. B. The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of elements of the General Plan; The proposed Ordinance implements consistent standards for establishments that sell alcohol, which furthers Goal 3 of the Public Safety Element which is to provide “A safe and secure community free from the threat of personal injury and loss of property.” C. The proposed use is to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable provisions contained therein; The Ordinance has been designed to be consistent with Policy 3.1 of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan which states, “Encourage a pattern of development that balances revenue generating land uses in phase with other uses that have negative fiscal impacts.” Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 2024- is exempt from the -3- requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The City is establishing citywide regulations on alcohol uses which impact the operation of these businesses to make them safer for the general public. In addition, one class IV entertainment establishment will be permitted in the City but this establishment will only be permitted in an already existing business that holds a Type 42 ABC license. In addition, the ordinance establishes standards for the operation of class IV entertainment establishments to ensure that these businesses do not have adverse impacts on surrounding uses. As such, the change in operations to allow live entertainment in this type of venue is not anticipated to have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance. Section 4. Section 9.10.020 (Definitions) of Chapter 9.10 (Entertainment License) of Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals and Welfare) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended to amend the definition of “Entertainment Establishment Types” and to add a definition for “Type 90 ABC License” as follows, with additional with all other provisions of Section 9.10.020 remaining unchanged: “Entertainment establishment(s)” means any commercial business, that is open to the public and offers entertainment to patrons.

The City Council of the City of Temecula certified the Old Town Specific Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (“FPEIR”) on May 11, 2010. C. Staff initiated Long Range Project No. LR23-0429, a Specific Plan Amendment, in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code . The purpose of the Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 to the Old Town Specific Plan (SP-5) is to allow for the establishment of a class IV entertainment establishment in the Downtown Core area of the Old Town Specific Plan and adopt a one-year outdoor entertainment pilot program (“Project”). D. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law. E.

G. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Further Findings. Pursuant to Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.16.020, the Planning Commission, in recommending that the City Council approve Amendment No. 11 to the Specific Plan hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment conforms to the existing policies within the City of Temecula General Plan. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will allow a class IV entertainment establishment (a business with a Type 90 ABC license that provides live entertainment) in the Downtown Core area of the Old Town Specific Plan. In addition, the Specific Plan amendment will allow for a pilot program that will allow outdo or live entertainment in Old Town. The General Plan Land Use Element, as noted on page LU- 26, anticipates that the City will provide comprehensive planning of large areas and identifies the Old Town Specific Plan as a specific plan area. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element Goal 7 of having “A viable, high-quality Old Town Temecula area that enhances the City economically, preserves historic structures, and provides civic, cultural, shopping, and meeting and gathering places for tourists and residents.” Allowing live entertainment will further the goal of providing cultural gathering places for tourists and residents. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment has been reviewed pursuant to the City’s General Plan and all applicable State laws and has been found to be consistent with the policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the live entertainment will be conducted in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with Goal 3 of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan which states “A sound economic base providing a fiscal foundation for the City, quality community facilities, and high service levels.” C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The Old Town Specific Plan consists of approximately 153 acres, and the subject area of the Specific Plan Amendment (the Downtown Core district) comprises approximately 48 acres of the Specific Plan. As outlined in the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan (page LU-32), the purpose of Specific Plans is to provide a comprehensive planning document for large areas so that a coordinated planning approach is provided for all anticipated land use developments. As such, the entire Specific Plan area has been reviewed based on existing structures and future build out potential and is physically suitable for the land use designations provided by the Old Town Specific Plan. The Specific Plan amendment does not make any revisions to the land uses allowed in the Old Town Specific Plan. Instead, it will allow existing businesses to provide live entertainment. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. As identified within the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, page LU -30, Old Town Temecula is a strong identification point for the City and the City desires to ensure that Old Town remains a focal point for social, cultural, civic, tourist and economic development activities. The Old Town Specific Plan was originally adopted to support and complement the desirable character of Temecula’s downtown and the proposed Amendment to the Old Town Specific Plan further supports its downtown character. The City’s General Plan Land Use Element states that the City will continue to implement the Old Town Specific Plan and will modify or amend it as needed to respond to development trends in the area (LU-40). As such, the proposed Amendment to the Old Town Specific Plan provides a means to enhance the area economically while also ensuring the development of a desirable character compatible with existing and proposed development in Old Town and the surrounding neighborhood. Section 3. CEQA. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 to the Old Town Specific Plan has been deemed to be exempt from further environmental review as there is no possibility that the proposed action would have a significant impact on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The Specific Plan amendment allows for one class IV entertainment establishment in the Downtown Core area of the Old Town Specific Plan. This license type would be granted to an already existing business that already holds a Type 42 ABC license and that also holds a Type 90 ABC license. So this would be an expansion of an already existing use in that the use could now hold specific events. In addition, the Specific Plan amendment will allow existing businesses to provide live outdoor entertainment, on a temporary basis as a one year pilot program. Therefore, there is no possibility this amendment would have a significant effect on the environment. Section 4. Recommendation. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula hereby recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 to the Old Town Specific Plan in substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit “B.” PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula Planning Commission this 5th day of June, 2024.
