Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. The Old Town Specific Plan (SP-5) was approved by the City Council on February 22, 1994 by the adoption of Ordinance No. 94-05.

The Old Town Specific Plan as originally approved and as amended by Amendments Nos. 1-10 shall be referred to in this Resolution as the "Specific Plan." B. 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. On June 5, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Project at which time all persons interested in these actions had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission. F. After hearing all written and oral testimony by staff and all written comments from the public on the proposed actions and duly considering the comments received, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-09 recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed Project. 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 outdoor 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 (L U-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. I I to the Old Town Specific Plan in substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit `B."
