Planning Director opened the public hearing at 1:31 p.m.
Senior Planner presented an overview of the project and staff recommendations. The
restaurant is located in the Vail Ranch Specific Plan zoning district. The subject property is
located within Commercial Area B. Since this Specific Plan refers to an obsolete Riverside
County zoning ordinance, it has been determined that the underlying land use of Highway
Tourist Commercial is the applicable zoning for this project. Business selling alcoholic
beverages in this zone are required an approval of a Conditional Use Permit. A Finding of
Public Convenience or Necessity is not required due to the fact that the restaurant has an
existing Type 41 ABC license and the Type 47 requested will not increase the number of
existing on-sale general-eating licenses within the census tract. The supplemental development
standards also require that businesses selling alcoholic beverages shall not be located within
500 feet of a religious institution, school or park. The closest sensitive use is approximately
2,500 feet away.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been deemed
categorically exempt from further environmental review per Section 15301, Class 1 Existing
Facilities.
