BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the
applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
The Edge Restaurant and Lounge will be a new full-service restaurant within the soon to be
completed Old Town Center One building located in Old Town Temecula at 28544 Old Town
Front Street. As part of their operations, The Edge is applying for a Type-47 license from the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. This license is appropriate for a
restaurant and will allow for the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption on the
premises. The alcohol will be served both indoors and on two outdoor patios. These patios are
fenced and gated.
The Edge Restaurant and Lounge also intends to provide live entertainment for its customers.
The entertainment will only be performed indoors on a designated stage. Per the Statement of
Operations dated February 3, 2009, the hours for the live entertainment are Sunday through
Thursday 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday through Saturday 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.
The Statement of Operations also indicates that the live entertainment will consist of low volume
music performed by single acoustical soloists or small groups of two or three members.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on February 14, 2009 and mailed
to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15301, Class 1
Existing Facilities).
Live entertainment is a common ancillary use for restaurants. In addition, a Type-47 license
allowing for the on premise consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits is also common for
restaurants. The Edge Restaurant and Lounge will be located in an existing building. Therefore
the use only requires minor alterations to an existing private structure.
FINDINGS
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The conditional use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development
Code. Both the General Plan and Development Code have anticipated restaurant uses within
commercial zoning areas. In addition, the Development Code provides stipulations for
restaurants proposing alcohol consumption and live entertainment.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of
adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely
affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.

2
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of
adjacent uses, buildings and structures. The conditional use has also been reviewed by the
City of Temecula Planning, Fire, Building and Safety, Public Works and Police Department to
ensure the live entertainment and alcohol consumption will operate safely and not affect any
adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other
development features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the Planning
Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The site for the conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls,
fences, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features described in
the City of Temecula Development Code as well as other governing regulations. This includes
the enclosed outdoor patio areas that are required for the consumption of alcohol.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community.
The proposed project is consistent with the requirements outlined in Chapter 17.04.010 of the
City of Temecula's Development Code. The City of Temecula Planning, Fire, Building and
Safety, Public Works and Police Departments have reviewed this Conditional Use Permit and
determined that it will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community as
conditioned. In addition, the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health has also
reviewed and conditioned the project.

permit be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning
Commission or City Council on appeal.
