PROJECT Modification to the Conditions of Approval for Planning Application
SUMMARY: Number PA08-0206, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow the
Public House restaurant live entertainment and to upgrade their
existing Type-41 ABC license (on -sale beer and wine -eating place)
to a Type-47 ABC license (on -sale general - eating place), located
at 41971 Main Street
RECOMMENDATION: Approve with revised Conditions
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The Public House restaurant is located in the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) Zoning District of the
Old Town Specific Plan, located at 41971 Main Street in Old Town Temecula, just east of the
intersection of Main Street and Old Town Front Street. On September 24, 2008, the Planning
Department approved a Minor Modification application (PA08-0194) for the project site to allow
the construction of outdoor patios, fire pits, and landscaping upgrades to accommodate live
entertainment and outdoor dining. On November 20, 2008, the Planning Director conditionally
approved Planning Application No. PA08-0206, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow the
Public House restaurant live entertainment (bands/dj/comedy/karaoke) and to upgrade their
existing Type-41 ABC license (on -sale beer and wine -eating place) to a Type-47 ABC license
(on -sale general - eating place) which would authorize the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits
for consumption on the premises (see Attachment No.1 — Director's Hearing Staff Report and
Conditions of Approval).
According to the approved Statement of Operations dated September 14, 2008, and
supplemental details e-mailed to staff on October 9, 2008, the applicant is allowed to provide
amplified and/or acoustic live and recorded entertainment. This includes bands, dj's, comedy,
karaoke, and movies. The live entertainment occurs Monday through Wednesday (6.p.m.-10
p.m.), Thursday and Friday (6 p.m.-1 a.m.), Saturday (9 a.m.-1a.m.) and Sunday (9:30 a.m.-10
p.m.). The entertainment noise is required to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and
General Plan noise standards.
Since the time of approval, City staff has received several complaints from adjacent property
owners regarding excessive noise from the live entertainment and concerns with patrons of the
Public House parking on private property. In addition, the City's Code Enforcement Division and
Fire Department staff has been to the property in response to a large tent on the property
without permits. Code Enforcement also visited the site because the property owner did not
comply with a Condition of Approval to construct additional restrooms within 90 days of approval
of the CUP (see Attachment No. 2 for summary of complaints). It is for these reasons staff has
requested a review of the Conditional Use Permit.

ANALYSIS
Per Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.03.080, the City can impose additional conditions on
a CUP if the City has a basis to revoke that CUP. The code indicates that an entitlement can be
revoked if any of the following findings are made:
1., That the permit was obtained by misrepresentation or fraud.
2. That any of the Conditions of Approval for the permit have not been met, and the permit
is not being exercised.
3. That the use for which the permit was granted is being or is permitted to be or operates
in violation of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation.
4. That the permit is being exercised in a way that is detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare or constitutes a nuisance.
Staff has met with the business owner to discuss the complaints received and the owner is
agreeable to any new conditions to better serve the Old Town community. Rather than revoke
the permit, at this time staff proposes to add the following conditions to the CUP:
A security guard shall be present during business hours to monitor patron parking and
ensure patrons are not parking on adjacent private property.
2. Deliveries are restricted to before 10 a.m. and shall occur on the subject site or
immediately in front of the business (not on adjacent private property).
3. Owner shall construct bathrooms and gate on the property within 60 days of approval; if
restrooms are not constructed and operational within this timeframe (by June 8, 2009),
the entertainment uses allowed by this CUP will not be permitted until such time as the
restrooms are operational.
4. Live entertainment shall only be provided between the hours of 6 p.m. and 12 p.m. all
seven days of the week.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on March 28, 2009 and mailed to
the property owners within the required 600-foot radius.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Planning Application No. PA08-0206 was submitted on September 12, 2008. The plans were
routed to the Building Department, Fire Prevention Bureau and Police Department for review.
These departments recently reviewed and approved a Minor Modification application for the
project site to allow the construction of outdoor patios, fire pits, and landscaping upgrades to
accommodate the live entertainment and outdoor dining. Planning staff has been in contact
with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control regarding this Minor Conditional Use Permit
application and they have indicated that the applicant/owner was awarded one of the Type-47
licenses available this year in Riverside County through their lottery. ABC staff indicated notice
of this award was issued to the business owner in October 2008 and the appropriate paperwork
for the Type-47 license would need to be filed within 90 days (or by January 2009). The City of
Temecula Police Department indicated that ABC training was previously conducted when the
owner applied for their Type-41 license. The owner has requested an optional refresher training
for his staff. As part of the Temecula Police Department protocol, when a business requests a
Type47 ABC license an alcohol review board meeting is held. This meeting was conducted
with the City of Temecula Police Department and the applicant/owner on October 22, 2008.
The Police Department has since indicated that they have no objections to the upgrade of this
license and have issued Conditions of Approval. On October 6, 2008 both the Building and
Safety Department and the Fire Prevention Bureau indicated that they had completed their
review and had no comments or Conditions of Approval for the project. 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 Public House restaurant is located in the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) Zoning District of the
Old Town Specific Plan. According to the land use matrix contained in the Specific Plan,
restaurants with entertainment and/or serving beer, wine and distilled spirits.in the TRC zoning
district require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The Old Town Specific Plan also indicates that projects in Old Town are subject to the
requirements contained within the supplemental development standards in Section 17.10 of the
Development Code. The supplemental development standards require that the business obtain
the appropriate license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Staff has consulted
with the Department. of Alcoholic Beverage control regarding this Minor Conditional Use Permit
application and they have indicated that the restaurant currently holds an active Type-41 ABC
license, and that the applicant has been awarded but not yet applied for a Type47 ABC license.
ABC will not issue the Type-47 license until the City approves the Minor Conditional Use Permit.
Additionally, it is important to note that a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity is not
required to be made due to the fact that the restaurant has an existing Type-41 license and the
Type-47 license, if approved, will not increase the number of existing on -sale license that exist
within Census Tract 432.15.
The supplemental development standards also require that businesses selling alcoholic
beverages and requiring the approval of a Conditional Use Permit shall not be located within
500 feet of a religious institution, school or public park. Staff has consulted with the Geographic
Information Systems department and confirmed that the business is not located within 500 feet
of a sensitive use. The future Town Square plaza, while not a designated public park, will be
located within 175 feet. The code states this adjacency requirement shall not apply when the
alcohol -selling business and the sensitive use are both located with commercial or industrial
GAPLANNING2008VA08-0206 Public House Minor CUP\PlanninglSTAFF REPORT.doc
2
zones, which is the situation for this project. The closest sensitive use is Sam Hicks Monument
Park, which is located approximately 1,600 feet away.
The applicant would also like to provide live entertainment at the restaurant during business
hours. According to the statement of operations dated September 14, 2008, and supplemental
details e-mailed to staff on October 9, 2008, the applicant would like to provide amplified and/or
acoustic live and recorded entertainment. This would include bands, dj's, comedy, karaoke, and
movies. The hours of operation for the restaurant are proposed to be:
Monday through Wednesday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. (food served until 10 p.m.)
Thursday through Friday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. (food served until 12 a.m.)
Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. (food served until 12 a.m.)
Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. (food served until 10 p.m.)
The live entertainment would be provided after 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and during
normal business hours on Saturday and Sunday. The entertainment noise would be required to
comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and general plan noise standards. Staff has included a
condition of approval that no outdoor entertainment be allowed after 1 a.m. on any day to
reduce potential noise impacts.
In order to make the findings for approval of this Minor Conditional Use Permit, the proposed
conditional use must be compatible with surrounding uses and structures. Staff has completed
an analysis of the surrounding land uses. The Tourist Retail Core of the Old Town Specific Plan
is characterized by both retail and residential mixed uses, aimed at serving the art and
entertainment needs of both local residents and tourists visiting the Temecula Valley. The
Public House restaurant is located within this area and is surrounded by other restaurants
serving alcohol, retail and office uses. In addition, the City's future Town Square and Civic
Center will be located approximately 100 feet east of the project site, adding to the daytime
activity in Old Town. Staff has determined that the approval of the Minor Conditional Use Permit
for the Public House restaurant, which would allow for live entertainment and authorize a Type-
47 ABC license for this facility, would be consistent and compatible with the nature, condition
and development of the surrounding uses. The issuance of the Type47 ABC license, and the
approval of the project, as conditioned, is not anticipated to negatively affect the surrounding
land uses or negatively impact the public health, safety and welfare of the community.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on November 8, 2008 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, a Minor
Conditional Use Permit to allow for live entertainment and authorize a Type-47 ABC license for
the Public House restaurant, has been deemed exempt from further environmental review. It
has been determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is
declared categorically exempt from further environmental review per CEQA Section 15301,
Class 1 Existing Facilities. The CEQA guidelines indicate that the key consideration in
determining if a project qulaifies for a Class 1 exemption is to determine whether the project
involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. The proposed project is for a land use
approval and does not involve any new construction. The facility, a restaurant which has been

whether an employee or not, to loiter for the purpose of soliciting an alcoholic drink.
PD-6. Type 41, 47 and 49 licensees must operate and maintain their licensed premises as a

enough goods to make substantial meals. The premises must comply with all
regulations of the local health department. Incidental, sporadic or infrequent sales of

presume that a licensee is operating as a bona fide eating place if the gross sales of
food prepared and sold to guests on the premises exceeds the gross sales of alcoholic
beverages. "Prepared" means any processing preliminary to the final serving of food.

or more of the total gross sales Sections 23038 and 23787 B&P).
PD-7. Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver alcohol (by the drink or by the package) between
2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the same day. No person may knowingly purchase alcohol

permit patrons or employees to consume alcohol between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of
the same day (even if someone bought the drinks before 2:00 a.m. Section 25632
B&P). Some ABC licenses have special conditions (restrictions) as to hours of sale that
are stricter that the law. Those licenses are marked "Conditional" (23805 B&P).
PD-8. Police officers, sheriffs deputies and ABC investigators are sworn law enforcement
officers (peace officers) with powers of arrest. Whether in plainclothes or uniform,
peace officers have the legal right to visit and inspect any licensed premises at any time
during business hours without a search warrant or probable cause. This includes
inspecting the bar and back bar, store room, office, closed or locked cabinets, safes,
kitchen, or any other area within the licensed premises. It is legal and reasonable for
licensees to exclude the public from some areas of the premises. However, licensees
cannot and must not deny entry to, resist, delay, obstruct, or assault a peace officer
(Sections 25616, 25753, and 25755 B&P; 148 and 241 (b) PC).

re: Case # PAOM206
Attn: Matt Peters/Cheryl Kitzerow,
I am Bonnie Reed I own Country Seller & Friends, a retail antiques and gh store
located in Serendipity at 41950 Main St. in Old Town Temecula I have operated my
business in Old Town since 1984.
I am writing this letter because 1 am concerned about the application that has been filed
to change the liquor license at the Public House Restaurant, also located on Main St, just
a few doors down the street from me. Currently, Main Street has been severely impacted
by the site preparation and road closures resultingfrom the City's relocation plans for.
City Hall. On streetparking has been severely restricted andthe City lot located
directly to the right of our location appears to be closed most of the time. The City has
attempted to direct the public to this lot, but each activity done at the site ends up In
removal of the signs. The bottom line for us, and our business neighbors, is for potential
customers to turn around and exit Maui Street, andmore frequently exiting Old Town as.
well. Our business is struggling to stay alive in these hard economic times, so customer
access is crucial.
* concern for this permit issuance arises from the probability ofextended parking
times for individuals who choose to take cabs or other means to go home after .
consuming alcohol. I have noticed an increase of cans parked on the street early in the
mornin& 1 have no problem with another business and their own needs, but as I have
tried to explaln, at this time it would not be fair to all of us to be so impacted by this
permit being granted If our parking problems were solved and they will soon be by the
City's addition of a large parking facility at the City Hall, I do not believe that this
would be an issue for my business However, the structure has not yet been completed
and 1 am crurrendystruggling with a severe park rig problem, aggravated by a stagnant
economy. *position needs to be considered as 1 also contribute to the ambiance of
Old Town - '

City of Temecula Planning Dept, 43200 Business Park Drive Temecula. November 11- 08. To the attention
of Matt Peters/Cherryl IGtzerow This letter represents Michael and Rosa Thesing the owners of Rosa's
Cantina and the Ranson plaza building located at 28636 Old Town Front St Temecula . It has come to our
attention that Gerry Kent, owner of the Public House restaurant located at 41971 Main Street Temecula has
applied for a full liquor license at this location. We are adamantly opposed to this as from the time he opened
his restaurant we have had numerous incidents of his customers parking in our lot. When we observed these
persons in our lot, we would ask them to leave. For the most part they would exit the premises, however on
several occasions some would object using `f-you' and other filthy1anguage before they left On one
occasion. a person illegally parked in the handicap zone. His reply when -we told him he was there illegally
was 'screw you" and parked there anyway. On other occasions, some of his vendors have parked in lot
blocking our customers from getting in and out. We have enlarge the parking ordinance signs to the extent
whereby they are plainly visible to everyone. The owner of this establishment was well aware that there was
NO parking at that location when he started this business. There is only one reason why this person is
applying for a full liquor license and that is to increase his foot traffic. When the public hearing takes place on
Nov 20s', the question should be where are your customers going to park? If the license is granted it will
impair our business immensely as there will be more people parking in our lot. We would also suffer the
liability from accidents and injuries should they occur. Rosa's cantina was established In 1991. We have
enjoyed a successful business there for many years. We are highly respected by the city, council and staff
1 members.Your consideration in this matter would be greatly appreaciated- Very truly yours, Mike and Rose

just spoke with Rose Thesing, owner of Rosa's Cantina in Old Town regarding her concerns with the Public House. Mrs. Thesing
pecifically expressed concern with (1) patrons of the Public House parking in her private lot (despite the sign posted on The
'ublic House's door to not use Rosa's lot — on Saturday night they had 9 cars removed - not towed, but owners were asked to
love their cars), (2) drunk patrons using the restrooms at Rosa's because The Public House still has the portable restrooms, and
3) an A -frame sign that Mr. Kent (owner of the Public House) has in his truck to advertise his business. I asked her to put her
oncems in writing (as I had requested when she called in early December but did not do) and to call the police when these
,sues occur so that the City has documentation for potential future action — she feels that we are putting undue burden on her
nd that the City should be policing this use to be sure the 'rules are followed' since that is what she has done over the past 18
cars with her business. She does not want to call the police and create more 'ill -will' and she does not have the time/resources to
ionitor her lot to have cars towed. 1 am sending this email as a follow up to our discussion in briefing this morning and also
ecause Mrs. Thesing said she will be meeting with her attorney next week —

Cheryl, please be advised since Public House restaurant was approved for a full liquor license, the illegal
parking invasion in Rosas's Cantina's parking lot has not improved and has gotten worse. Here is a brief
scenario as to what is happening: Last Friday night, 9 cars were illegally parked in our lot I called Gerry ,the
owner of Public House and advised him of same, then shortly thereafter most of them were removed. This is
just one occasion of many. The next night, Saturday, four young women came to our restaurant drunk from
his place. They were loud and obnoxious and they were asked to leave. His customers are constantly using
our bathrooms as there is not ample facilities at his place. Public House caters to a very young adults that
apparently consume a lot of alcohol. Last Saturday, his employees posted a large sign up against a car on
Main Street advertising a BEER FEST at his place. On weekends, he hires bud bands that can be heard
throughout Old Town. This is extremely annoying to our customers that are dinning in our patio. Mother.
problem is that some of his vendors are still unloading their goods in our lot blocking cars from getting in and
out As of now, we have not towed any cars or taken this matter up with the police department as we do not
want to create ill will with other businesses in town. In our opinion, this on going problem with Public House is
out of control and probably cannot be resolved unless the city gets involved. May we suggest that police car
be placed in front of this establishment on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings to quell these existing
deficiencies. Very Truly Yours, Mike And Rose Thesing

Subject: Research regarding re -opening a CUP
Hello Patrick -
Page 2 of 3
I did not add Matt to this email as I didn't have his email readily available. Please feel free to forward him
this email.
You have asked me. to research whether a conditional use permit can be re -opened in order to impose
additional conditions on a bar owner in old town. You indicated to me that patrons of this bar have been
utilizing the parking lots of other businesses in the old town area. Additionally, you noted that the bar
owner has been engaging in other activities which may constitute a violation of the CUP.
Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.04.010(L) states, "Any conditional use permit granted or approved
hereunder, shall be approved or conditionally approved with the city, and its planning director, planning
commission, and city council retaining and reserving the right and jurisdiction to review and modify such
conditional use permit (including the conditions of approval) based on changed circumstances. Changed
circumstances include, but are not limited to the modification of the business, a change in scope, emphasis,
size or nature of the business, and the expansion, alteration, reconfiguration or change of use. The
reservation of right to review any conditional use permit granted or approved or conditionally approved
hereunder by the city, its planning director, planning commission, and city council is in addition to, and not
lieu of, the right of the city, its director of planning, planning commission, and city council to review and
revoke or modify any conditional use permit approved or conditionally approved hereunder for any
violations of the conditions imposed on such conditional use permit or for the maintenance of any nuisance
condition or other code violation thereon."
Thus, based on our code, we have the right to review and modify the CUP and its conditions of approval
based on any of the changed circumstances detailed above.
Additionally, the basic legal principle is that additional conditions may be placed upon a CUP if the
grounds justifying the new conditions would justify revocation. In essence, the imposition of additional
conditions works as a bargaining chip with the property owner (i.e. the City can opt to revoke the CUP
unless the property owner agrees to these additional conditions). Temecula Municipal Code Section
17.03.080 indicates that an entitlement can be revoked if any of the following_ findings are made:
1. That the permit was obtained by misrepresentation or fraud;
2. That any of the conditions of approval for the permit have not been met, and the permit is not being
exercised;
3. That the use for which the permit was granted is being or is permitted to be or operates in violation of
any statute, ordinance, law or regulation;
4. That the permit is being exercised in a way that is detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or
constitutes a nuisance.
The easiest route to argue revocation would be if the actions of the property owner constitute a nuisance to
the community.
If we anticipate going either of these routes, the best plan of action is to have someone in planning draft a
my. detailed memorandum to the City Attorney informing us of all the potential violations of the CUP,
and/or additional actions of the property owner that may constitute a nuisance. Likewise if you believe any
of the property owner's actions constitute what you would consider changed circumstances, please detail
those as well. The memo should be.detailed enough to provide dates, as well as enough detail on each
action that may constitute a violation of the CUP, nuisance, or changed circumstance. The basis for the
memo is to begin to establish a solid record of the property owner's actions.
If you should have any questions regarding any of this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks Patrick.

Re: Noise emanating from the Public House Restaurant
To Whom It May Concern:
I live in Temecula, in the 30300 block of Via Brisa,
approximately 1 mile from the Public House Restaurant.
Frequently, since they have opened for business, the noise from
the music that is played there on weekend evenings is so loud
that it has become an irritant to the peace and quiet that has
been enjoyed in this neighborhood. There are other businesses
in Old Town that offer music for the enjoyment of their
customers and these entities take into consideration the
comfort of the neighbors who live within earshot of their
establishments. I certainly hope that the City of Temecula will
insure, through its business licensing abilities and other tools,
that the Public House Restaurant is held to the same standards
as those who play music responsibly.
Evening noise from a commercial district should not be allowed
to impinge on and detract from the quality of life in surrounding
residential areas that were there first.
Thank.-Tou for reviewing my concerns.

To the Powers that be:
1 was upset for Rose Thesing and her husband (owners of Rosa's Cantina) when she told me of the
problems they are having with a business across the street from their restaurant, a pub Brewery bar.
They have tried to get help from our City, but their complaints have basically fallen on deaf ears. I
somehow feel that in the push to make "Downtown/Old Town" special, some of the old business
owners, who have kept the area alive for years, might get lost in the expansion.
Some of the Thesing's problems:
1. The pub was permitted and operates without any extra parking, only street parking and
they face Rosa's Parking lot.
2. Their (the pub) major delivery trucks pull into Rosa's parking area and block her
patrons from parking there throughout the day.
3. At night, even during the dinner hour at her restaurant, the pub customers use her
parking lot. After they close down, their lot becomes the pub's lot even though the
Thesings own this private property, and they pay the property taxes on that lot.
4. A great deal of drinking goes on at that pub and they installed temporary porta potty s
to take care of the overflow..... but the women patronizing the pub will not use the
porta pottys so they all .troop over to Rosa's and use their bathroom facilities during
the restaurant's business hours.
5. Worst of all .... The pub's customers, late at night, use the Cantinas parking lot as an
outdoor bathroom ,and vomit and urinate there. This is disgusting as Rose and her
husband have to see that this awful mess is cleaned up from their lot and
surrounding area every morning before they can open for business.
The Thesings want to put up a chain to prevent parking at night in their parking lot and are perfectly
willing to give a key to that lock to the local fire department that is three blocks away. They have been
told by a Planning Commission representative, that they should hire a Security guard to patrol the
property.
They really can't afford to do this and it is their property rights that are being abused by the pub, daily.
If, anything, the pub should be required to police their customers properly with a security
guard, making sure that their customers do not use Rosa's parking lot as a bathroom.
This pub that promotes excessive drinking and is jammed on the weekends is not what the "spirit" of
Old Town should be about. Most importantly, this pub is seeking a hard liquor license that will only
make the problem worse!
I don't think we can allow our City to get so big that problems of long standing businesses owners like
the Thesings cannot be settled in a caring way. The pub is a bad neighbor, not Rosa's Cantina.

Well, here is our letter in support, please let me know if it is what your looking for if not I can modify it!
Dear PUBIic Housel
I (SuzAnne) and my husband (Tory) in fact our whole family are loyal patrons of your fine establishment. Just as many
of our friends and their kids areas well! I can't begin to tell you how much we look forward to our Family Friday nights
at the PUBIic House. After work, we gather up the kids, spend time in Old Town shopping or what not, then my
husband, our daughter Emilee (8yrs), our son Ryan (17yrs), his girlfriend Kelsie (17yrs) and of course me the Mom
(Suzanne). We all meet up with friends and their kids at the PUBIic House and enjoy a super delicious dinner and grub on
those salt and vinegar fries, while listening to the local band talent. All together! Your staff is simply fantastic! funny,
entertaining, hospitable, friendly. Our friends, their kids, our kids, LOL everyone. We all get to enjoy a night out with
you, our friends at PUBIic House.
Sure we could go eat at a fast food joint or a chain restaurant, but your establishment offers way more, and thats what
brings people back. It's warm, cozy, inviting, personable and kid friendly. There are very few classy, easy going, relaxed
establishments in Temecula that allow children to enjoy an "adult" type night out with music and a fire pit, bundled
up, just being out with mom and dad, at least until the clock chimes 9:pm. I for one am thrilled that you offer such a
unique and cool place for all people to gather. We all LOVE your place, we would be very disappointed if this was to
change, because your Minor Conditional Use Permit was to be revoked. Good grief, if your improving the establishment
that means business is good.
Should this permit be revoked, we most definitely would never ever eat at Rosa's again. On principal alone, they are not
being good business neighbors. In these tough economic times they should be giving support, not being petty.
Frankly there are a million in one Mexican restaurants in Temecula and the surrounding areas, but there is only one
PUBIic House.

The PUBlic House is a great commodity to the community! The atmosphere is inviting and classy
and the newly added section in the back is always lively and entertaining. This is the type
of place that makes me want to go out, because I know I'll have a good time. The PUBlic House
is also very innovative, constantly adding new and exciting events like Pint Fest and Movie
Night and their live music is consistently exceptional. Parking is important to an
establishment like the PUBlic House that has so much to offer!

Re: Respectful Parking!
Gerry,
Thank you for your gracious response. We do not park in Rosa's parking lot and would not. We are
small business owner's and respect other's rights and property. If the parking is the only issue, then
understand. However, if Rosa's is trying to change your permit use, then I have to disagree with them.
I know some of your patrons will eat at Rosa's and then go to the Public House to listen to the bands.
Regards,
Janice

Re: FW: Respectful Parking!
Public House Staff,
I am greatly offended by the fact that Rosa's is considering taking action against you regarding your conditional
use permit, which I infer means your ability to host live entertainment, etc.
We love the fact that you offer another venue for quaity food and nightlife in Temecula, a community that
offers very little in the way of the later, in particular. I can't believe Rosa's is being unfriendly in regards to what
you're doing.
I would be a happy to write a letter to the editor of the Californian if they continue to behave hostily towards
your establishment. Additionally, I would be happy to facilitate and encourage a boycott of thier business -
there are plenty of mexican restaurants in town. If they are unwilling to grow with old town, then they should
move to another location. You can't fight progress and the reality is, if they, city planners and retailers, want
people to spend more time in old town, they need to provide more venues for food and entertainment and not try
and pull the "NIMBY" attitude.
They could always hire a security guard to protect their lot if it means that much to them. That's what most
facilities do in the real world outside of Temecula (BTW - I love Temecula).
That's my two cents - let me know how I can help.
Thanks,
Pat

Dear Friendly PUBIic House staff,
My husband and I visited your place a couple months ago based on the recommendation of a friend.
We immediately felt welcomed and at home in your restaurant. You're style, food quality and overall
atmosphere is the perfect addition to Temecula! We have been back three times and have told
dozens of people about our experience. Regarding the parking, we would gladly walk several blocks
to visit your place of business. However, considering all the construction happening all over the
downtown area, I hope everyone can remain understanding and patient. I think Rosa's is a nice place
too, and I hope they haven't been hurt by the parking issue. May I suggest that you offer valet
service? You could charge a small amount and offer validation for purchases to help offset the cost.
This way, you can get all the people in the door without worrying where the cars get parked. Also, be
sure to invite all the owners, managers and employees of Rosa's to your events often, I am sure
theyll enjoy The PUBIic House too!
Best regards and loyal customers,
Bill and Amy Hoffman

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On August 1, 2007 the City of Temecula approved PA07-0130, a Finding of Public Convenience
or Necessity to authorize a Type-42 ABC license (on -sale beer and wine public premises) and
Type-20 ABC license (off -sale package store) for The Temecula Valley Cheese Company.
Since the approval of PA07-0130, the Temecula Valley Cheese Company has been conducting
wine tasting, as well as serving beer and wine by the glass. Previously, staff had incorrectly
determined that the business did not need a Conditional Use Permit to sell beer and wine by the
glass, however it has been brought to staffs attention by the City Attorney that any business
selling wine by the glass in the Tourist Retail Core in Old Town Temecula must operate under
an approved Conditional Use Permit. As a result of this determination staff re -opened the
previously submitted Conditional Use Permit application (PA07-0129) on February 26, 2009.
Type-42 ABC licenses are typically issued to establishments that serve beer and wine, but do
not serve food. The Type-42 license is for the sale, serving and consumption of beer and wine
on the premises, and shall not permit distilled spirits to be sold, served or consumed on the
premises. Additionally, the area that is licensed with the Type-42 license does not allow for
persons under the age of 21 to enter and remain. An alcohol review board meeting was
previously held with the business owner's and the Temecula Police Department's Crime
Prevention on March 15, 2007. A summary of this meeting is attached for reference.
The Police Department indicated that due to the fact that the Type-20 license would allow
minors to be on the premises and the Type-42 would restrict access to minors, that the
applicant must physically separate the premises by license type. The business is currently
operating in a manner that is consistent with this requirement. Children may enter the Type-20
(off -sale) portion of the establishment, but minors may not enter the Type-42 (on -sale) portion of
the establishment. The floor plan that has been submitted by the applicant reflects the physical
separation of these license types.. Signage has also been posted which clearly states that
minors are not allowed to enter and remain in the Type-42 licensed areas.
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
Conditional Use Permit
The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is a specialty retail shop that sells artesian and
specialties cheeses. The business is located in the Penfold Plaza building which is generally
located west of Old Town Front Street and south of Fifth Street. The Temecula Cheese
Company is located in the Tourist Retail Core (TRC) zoning district of the Old Town Specific
Plan. The land use matrix contained within the Old Town Specific Plan does not have a land
use category for alcoholic beverage sales. However, the land use matrix in the Development
Code indicates that businesses selling alcoholic beverages require the approval of a Conditional
Use Permit. In order to allow for the Temecula Valley Cheese Company to continue selling beer
and wine by the glass for consumption on the premises and to allow for the sale of beer and
wine for consumption off the premises, the approval of a Conditional Use Permit is required.
The Old Town Specific Plan also indicates that projects in Old Town are also subject to the
requirements contained in the Supplemental Development Standards in Section 17.10. of the
Development Code. The Supplemental Development Standards require that businesses
requesting to sell alcoholic beverages obtain the appropriate license with the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control. Staff has previously consulted with ABC regarding the approval of
the Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity, which allowed for ABC to issue the Type42
and Type-20 license. The review and approval of this Conditional Use Permit will ensure that
the applicant meets all current City requirements.
The Supplemental Development Standards also indicate that businesses selling alcoholic
beverages and requiring the approval of a Conditional Use Permit shall not be located within
500 feet of a sensitive use, which is defined as a religious institution, school or public park.
Planning staff has consulted with the Geographic Information Systems Department and
determined that the business is not located within 500 feet of a sensitive use. The closest
sensitive use is Sam Hicks Memorial Park, which is located over 1,500 feet away.
In order to make the Findings to approve a Conditional Use Permit, it must be determined that
the proposed conditional use is compatible with the surrounding land uses, businesses and
structures. Staff has completed an analysis of the surrounding land uses and determined that
the surrounding land uses consist of other commercial retail type businesses, (Old Town
Flooring and Granite, Penfold Cattle Company, I Love Clocks and Taos Territorial Traders,
Seaway Property Management etc.), and the sale, serving and cofTsumption of beer and wine at
the Temecula Valley Cheese Company is complimentary to the existing commercial uses, and
is not anticipated to have a negative impact on the surrounding businesses. Additionally,
according to the Old Town Specific Plan, the Tourist Retail Core consists of both retail and
residential mixed use, aimed at serving the art and entertainment needs of both local residents
and tourist visiting the Temecula Valley. Allowing the Temecula Cheese Company to sell beer
and wine by the glass, in accordance with the specific Conditions of Approval required to ensure
the public, health safety and welfare, is consistent with the goals and policies of the Old Town
Specific Plan and the uses pursuant to the Tourist Retail Core zoning district.
The Temecula Cheese Company's normal operating hours are as follows: Monday — Thursday
from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday
from 11 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The hours of operations for special events are as follows: weekdays
from 6:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and weekends from 7:00 p.m. to midnight. A detailed statement of
operations is attached for reference.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on March 28, 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 pursuant to CEQA
Section 15301, Class 1-Exisitng Facilities. The key consideration in determining whether a
project qualifies for the Class 1 Exemption is to analyze whether the project involves negligible
or no expansion of an existing use. The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is currently
operating as a specialty retail shop in the Old Town area. The issuance of the Conditional Use
Permit to authorize the sale of beer and wine by the glass on the premises does not involve the
physical expansion of the existing facility. The proposed project is a land use approval and will
not involve any physical expansion of the premises or construction. The project involves a
negligible expansion of the existing use and no adverse environmental impacts will occur as a
result of the approval and issuance of the Conditional Use Permit.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit — Development Code Section 17.04.010 (E)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the specific goals and policies outlined in the
General Plan that are intended to be implemented in the Old Town area. The General Plan
states that the Old Town area should be utilized to promote tourism and enhance the wine -
making industry and related activities within the City. The proposed project will enhance the
wine making and tourist industry in Old Town. Additionally, the General Plan identifies typical
uses that are anticipated in the underlying land use designation of Community Commercial
(CC). These land uses include retail and service oriented businesses which serve the entire
community. The project is located within the Tourist Retail Core of the Old Town Specific Plan
and the General Plan indicates that Old Town continues to be a strong identification and
destination point for the City. According to the Old Town Specific Plan, typical uses that may
occur or be developed in the Tourist Retail Core are uses that support the pedestrian oriented
core and include small scale boutiques and retail type businesses. The proposed conditional
use is consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan and with the Development Code. The Old
Town Specific Plan indicates that Old Town should be developed to promote local and tourist
oriented development and uses that add to the "thematic" ambiance of Old Town. The
proposed project, as conditioned, is anticipated to enhance the vibrancy in the Old Town area.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of
adjacent uses, building and structures and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect
the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of
adjacent uses, building and structures. The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is located
within a primarily developed area in the Tourist Retail Core in Old Town. The surrounding uses
include a variety of retail type uses that include small boutiques, specialty stores, wine tasting
establishments and restaurants. Many of the restaurants and wine bars also offer live
entertainment. Considering the surrounding uses and the nature of development surrounding
the Temecula Valley Cheese Company, the proposed conditional use is compatible with the
uses and land use patterns in the immediate vicinity. The proposed conditional use will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, building or structure. The Temecula Valley Cheese
Company is currently operating as a retail store and fine cheese purveyor, and the addition of
the sale and serving of beer and wine by the glass is consistent with the surrounding uses,
buildings and structures. The project has been conditioned to minimize any potential land use
compatibility concerns. The project also meets the 500-foot sensitive use separation
requirement that is required by the Development Code.
The site for the 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 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. The proposed project does not involve the physical expansion of the
premises. Therefore, it has been determined that all of the yards, walls, fences, parking,
loading, buffer areas, landscaping and development features that exist on the site are adequate.
The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is an existing business and the approval of the
conditionally permitted use to occur on the premises does not warrant any additional
development features to better integrate the use with the other uses in the neighborhood. As
conditioned, the use will integrate with the other uses in the neighborhood.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of
the community.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of
the community. The project has been reviewed by the Planning Department, and City of
Temecula Police Department and conditions of approval have been issued to ensure and
maintain the health, safety and welfare of the community. The project also meets the 500-foot
sensitive use separation requirement that is required by the Development Code to ensure that
sensitive uses will not be impacted by this use.

DH RESOLUTION NO. 09-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNER OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION
NO. PA07-0129, A MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO AUTHORIZE TEMECULA VALLEY CHEESE
COMPANY TO SERVE WINE AND BEER BY THE GLASS
(TYPE-42 ABC LICENSE) THEIR EXISTING FACILITY,
AND TO ALLOW THE BUSINESS TO SELL PACKAGED
BEER AND WINE (TYPE-20 LICENSE) FOR
CONSUMPTION OFF THE PREMISES, LOCATED AT
42072 5TH STREET (APN: 922-035-022)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Planner of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On February 26, 2009, Shawna Smoot filed Planning Application No.
PA07-0129, a Minor Conditional Use Permit Application in a manner in accord with the
City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The City Planner, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on April 9, 2009, 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 in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Director's Hearing and after due consideration of
the testimony, the City Planner approved Planning Application No. PA07-0129, subject
to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in Planning Application
No. PA07-0129 conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan, Development Code
and Old Town Specific Plan.
Section 2. Further Findings. The City Planner, in approving Planning
Application No. PA07-0129, hereby makes the following findings as required by
Development Code Section 17.04.010 (E) — Conditional Use Permit:
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the specific goals and
policies outlined in the General Plan that are intended to be implemented in the Old
Town area;
The General Plan states that the Old Town area should be utilized to promote
tourism and enhance the wine -making industry and related activities within the
City. The proposed project will enhance the wine making and tourist industry in
Old Town. Additionally, the General Plan identifies typical uses that are
anticipated in the underlying land use designation of Community Commercial
(CC). These land uses include retail and service oriented businesses which
serve the entire community. The project is located within the Tourist Retail Core
of the Old Town Specific Plan and the General Plan indicates that Old Town
continues to be a strong identification and destination point for the City.
According to the Old Town Specific Plan, typical uses that may occur or be
developed in the Tourist Retail Core are uses that support the pedestrian
oriented core and include small scale boutiques and retail type businesses. The
proposed conditional use is consistent with the Old Town Specific Plan and with
the Development Code. The Old Town Specific Plan indicates that Old Town
should be developed to promote local and tourist oriented development and uses
that add to the `thematic" ambiance of Old Town. The proposed project, as
conditioned, is anticipated to enhance the vibrancy in the Old Town area.
B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, building and structures and the proposed conditional use
will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures;
The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of adjacent uses, building and structures. The Temecula Valley
Cheese Company is located within a primarily developed area in the Tourist
Retail Core in Old Town. The surrounding uses include a variety of retail type
uses that include small boutiques, specialty stores, wine tasting establishments
and restaurants. Many of the restaurants and wine bars also offer live
entertainment. Considering the surrounding uses and the nature of development
surrounding the Temecula Valley Cheese Company, the proposed conditional
use is compatible with the uses and land use pattems in the immediate vicinity.
The proposed conditional use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, building
or structure. The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is currently operating as a
retail store and fine cheese purveyor, and the addition of the sale and serving of
beer and wine by the glass is consistent with the surrounding uses, buildings and
structures. The project has been conditioned to minimize any potential land use
compatibility concerns. The project also meets the 500-foot sensitive use
separation requirement that is required by the Development Code.
C. The site for the 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 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. The proposed project does
not involve the physical expansion of the premises. Therefore, it has been
determined that all of the yards, walls, fences, packing, loading, buffer areas,
landscaping and development features that exist on the site are adequate. The
Temecula Valley Cheese Company is an existing business and the approval of
the conditionally permitted use to occur on the premises does not warrant any
additional development features to better integrate the use with the other uses in
the neighborhood. As conditioned, the use will integrate with the other uses in
the neighborhood.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and welfare of the community;
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed by the Planning
Department, and City of Temecula Police Department, and Conditions of
Approval have been issued to ensure and maintain the health, safety and welfare
of the community. The project also meets the 500-foot sensitive use separation
requirement that is required by the Development Code to ensure that sensitive
uses will not be impacted by this use.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The City Planner hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of
the Minor Conditional Use Permit Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
pursuant to CEQA Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities;
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project
has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
pursuant to CEQA Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities. The key
consideration in determining whether a project qualifies for the Class 1
exemption is to analyze whether the project involves negligible or no expansion
of an existing use. The Temecula Valley Cheese Company is currently operating
as a specialty retail shop in the Old Town area. The issuance of the Conditional
Use Permit to authorize the sale of beer and wine by the glass on the premises
does not involve the physical expansion of the existing facility. The proposed
project is a land use approval and will not involve any physical expansion of the
premises or construction. The project involves a negligible expansion of the
existing use and no adverse environmental impacts will occur as a result of the
approval and issuance of the Conditional Use Permit.
Section 4. Conditions. The City Planner of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA07-0129, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to authorize
Temecula Valley Cheese Company, located at 42072 5th Street, to serve wine and beer
by the glass (Type-42 ABC license) at their existing facility, and to allow the business to
sell packaged beer and wine (Type-20 license) for consumption off the premises,
subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
City Planner this 9th day of April 2009
Patrick Richardson, City Planner
I, Cynthia Lariccia, Secretary of the Temecula Director's Hearing, do hereby
certify that the forgoing DH Resolution No. 09- was duly and regularly adopted

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Statement of Operations and Justification
Located in Historic district of old town of Temecula in the Penfold Plaza,
Temecula Valley Cheese Company is Temecula's only store dedicated to
bringing crafted artisan and specialty cheeses to the residents of the city.
Temecula Valley Cheese Company offers over 130 different types of fresh and
aged finely crafted cheeses from around the globe. We strive to provide only the
highest quality cheeses. Using only the most highly respected importers, and as
often as possible acquiring the best of the domestic cheeses straight from the
farm houses that create them. In addition to offering over 130 cheeses, we also
conduct cheese courses for weddings and special events, prepare picnicking and
gift baskets made to order, cater private cheese tasting, have a quarterly cheese
club, provide gourmet meats cut to order, and have an extensive offering of food
condiments as well as cutting boards and cheese serving tools.
Everyone knows that cheese and wine is a classic culinary combination. As part
of our concept, we would like to expand our business to include a wine and
cheese garden so that our customers can taste many of the Temecula's Valleys
fine wines while paring them with the finest domestic and imported cheeses.
Currently, we are open Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays and
Saturdays until 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are only
proposing the license for on -site consumption of beer and wine in a small portion
of our premises, namely, a small room within the shop and a portion of an
outdoor patio immediately adjacent to the south side of the store. While we will
be able to sell glasses of beer and wine, we anticipate that most of our
customers will be interested in tasting various beers and wines with selected
cheeses. Moreover, we intend to book private cheese and wine or beer tasting
events for social groups, business functions and special occasions.

1. This site is suitable and adequate for an On Sale Beer and Wine public
premises license because a specialty cheese shop with beer and wine
consumption will provide a unique experience in the Old Town area for
visitors and residents alike. As a gourmet food shop and wine and cheese
garden within the context of a retail shopping plaza, the site is both
appropriate and suitable for the Old Town Temecula area.
2. An alcoholic beverage license will not have any substantial adverse effect
on traffic circulation and on the planned capacity of the street system
because the shop currently exists and was planned for as part of the
building's development.
3. The on sale beer and wine public premises license will not have a
substantial adverse impact on the general welfare of persons residing in
the community because the specialty cheese and wine shop and garden is
located in a shopping plaza and within a business and tourism area.
4. The design of the project is compatible with the existing and proposed
development within the district and its surroundings.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
A Temporary Use Permit application was submitted on December 4, 2008. As a result of staffs
review and direction, this application was withdrawn and a Minor Conditional Use Permit was
submitted on January 27, 2009. Staff and the applicant have worked together to ensure
adequate parking for the use, compliance with occupancy loads and exiting requirements, and
other City requirements related to this project.
The Temecula Valley School of Music and the Arts (TVSOMATA) is currently operating within
the existing 7,429 square foot suite located at 41607 Enterprise Circle North. The normal
operating hours of this business are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. TVSOMATA offers private and group
music lessons in a professional environment. The facility offers 15 private studios and two
classroom spaces, and on occasion, TVSOMATA offers the use of its classroom space, free of
charge, to the Arts Council of Temecula Valley to support their classes and workshops.
TVSOMATA studio space is sound -proof, allowing bands and musicians to practice and develop
their musical talents and avoid otherwise loud disturbances when done in home garages in
residential areas.
The owner of TVSOMATA has indicated that he would like to open The Vault, an all -ages
entertainment venue which provides a place to house musical performances and recitals where
students can showcase their talents, and where professional and semi-professional musicians
and bands can perform. The incorporation of this performance and entertainment auditorium
area into the existing business operation requires the approval of a Minor Conditional Use
Permit.
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
Zoning Analysis
The TVSOMATA facility is located in the Business Park (BP) zoning district. The current
operation of TVSOMATA includes a general retail use, along with music lessons and recording
studio. These uses are permitted in the Business Park (BP) zoning district. The proposed
operation of The Vault, which is a 1,254 square foot auditorium space where people of all ages
assemble to enjoy the concerts, recitals and live music, will occur after TVSOMATA closes. The
proposed hours of operation for "The Vault" are Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to midnight and
G:\PLANNING\2009\PA09-0026 The Vault MCUP\Planning\draft STAFF REPORT.doc2
Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. No food or beverages will be served at
The Vault and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited at this venue. Additionally, according
to the applicant's statement of operations, the business will provide a safe facility by enforcing a
"zero tolerance" policy and a drug and alcohol free operation. Additionally, the applicant's
statement of operations indicates that they will provide security as necessary to ensure the
safety and security of its patrons. The Temecula Crime Prevention Bureau has reviewed the
request for the Minor Conditional Use Permit and provided Conditions of Approval. The Police
Department's Conditions of Approval require compliance Section 9.12.010 of the Temecula
Municipal Code regarding curfew for minors. Additionally, the Police Department's Conditions of
Approval prohibit alcoholic beverages in the facility, and clarifies that if the applicant chooses to
provide security that the security officers be unarmed, licensed, insured and bonded.
The Building and Safety Department, Community Services Department, and Fire Prevention
Bureau have also reviewed this application and have provided Conditions of Approval. Their
conditions ensure that all life/safety requirements, including safe exiting and maximum occupant
loads will be met. The project has also been conditioned to be consistent with the maximum
noise thresholds outlined in the City's General Plan.
Land Use Compatibility
Staff has completed an analysis of the surrounding land uses and determined that the project,
as conditioned, is compatible with the surrounding businesses, buildings and structures. The
properties surrounding the project site are zoned as Business Park (BP), Service Commercial
(SC), Community Commercial (CC) and Highway Tourist Commercial (HT). The existing land
uses surrounding the project site consist of various businesses and uses that are consistent
with the existing zoning designation. The uses include a mix of industrial, office, warehouse,
and varied service commercial and retail/commercial land uses. According to the General Plan,
there are no sensitive receptors (schools, libraries, parks) within the immediate vicinity of the
project. Additionally, the project has been conditioned .to require compliance with the General
Plan's noise thresholds and the City's Noise Ordinance to ensure that the surrounding land uses
are not disrupted by this project. Also, since The Vault will be operational during the evening
hours when most of the immediately surrounding land uses will be closed, it is anticipated that
The Vault, as conditioned, will not negatively impact the surrounding land uses.
Parking
Currently, there are 38 parking spaces provided on -site to accommodate the operation of the
day -time uses. The existing parking that currently exists on -site is adequate to accommodate
the day -time operation of TVSOMATA, as well as the day -time operation of Abbey Rents which
is currently operating in Suite B of the existing building. The day -time uses require 36 parking
spaces.
Staff has completed a parking analysis for the proposed Minor Conditional Use Permit to
determine if adequate parking is provided for the night-time operation of The Vault. According
to Development Code Section 17.24.040 the 1,254 square foot assembly space for The Vault
would require 38 parking spaces to be provided during the evening hours to accommodate the
proposed use. The project meets the minimum parking requirement pursuant to the
Development Code.
G:\PLANNING\2009\PA09-0026 The Vault MGUP\Planning\draft STAFF REPORT.doO
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on March 28, 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 pursuant to CEQA
Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities. The proposed project authorizes a conditionally
permitted use (concerts, live musical performances, and open microphone sessions) within an
existing building in the City of Temecula. According to the CEQA Guidelines, in order for a
project to qualify for this categorical exemption the key consideration is whether or not the
project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. The project qualifies for the
Existing Facilities exemption because the project involves no physical expansion of the existing
building footprint. Additionally, the conditionally permitted use to allow for concerts three nights
a week is secondary to the primary day -time use of the building, which is for retail, musical
education and recording purposes. No indirect traffic impacts are expected as a result of this
project because the hours of operation proposed for this conditionally permitted use does not
conflict with the other uses in the surrounding area. The other uses in the surrounding area are
primarily day -time uses and the conditionally permitted use is a primarily night-time use.
Therefore, no adverse traffic impacts are anticipated as a result of allowing this conditionally
permitted use to commence and continue in this existing building. The only construction
activities that will take place as a result of this project are minor interior tenant improvements
which will not result in a significant environmental impact.
FINDINGS
Development Code Section 17.04.010 (E) — Conditional Use Permit
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The Land Use Designation of the property is Industrial Park (IP). Typical uses in the industrial
park may include professional offices, research and development laboratories, light
manufacturing, storage, industrial supply and wholesale businesses. Although the proposed
conditional use is not a typical use for the Industrial Park land use designation, the unique
impacts and compatibility of this proposed conditional use have been analyzed in context with
the existing land uses, businesses and buildings in the surrounding area. According to the
Development Code, an auditorium for an all -ages entertainment venue is allowed contingent
upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. As conditioned, the proposed project meets all
applicable development code requirements for conditionally permitted uses in the Business Park
(BP) zoning district. The project has also been conditioned to ensure consistency with all
applicable Municipal Code requirements as they relate to noise, curfew for minors, safety and
the protection of the general welfare.
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.
G:\PLANNING\2009\PA09-0026 The Vault MCUP\PlanningWraft STAFF REPORT.doc4
The proposed conditional use, an auditorium for an all -ages entertainment venue in the
Business Park (BP) zone is compatible with the nature, condition, and development of adjacent
uses, buildings and structures. A land use compatibility analysis indicates that the surrounding
uses consist of primarily industrial, warehouse/storage, office and general commercial uses.
The majority of the surrounding businesses operate during normal business hours (weekdays 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.). The proposed conditional use will operate after normal business hours
(Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 p.m. to midnight). Therefore, the nature of the
proposed use, which is a use that will occur after normal business hours, is not anticipated to
adversely affect, or conflict with the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The proposed
conditional use has been reviewed for consistency with the General Plan and Development
Code and the unique impacts of this proposed conditional use have been analyzed. As a result,
the project has been conditioned to mitigate any potential impacts on adjacent properties and
ensure the continued maintenance of the public health, safety and welfare. The project has
been conditioned to require compliance with applicable Development Code requirements and
Municipal Code requirements for noise and curfew for minors. The project, as conditioned, will
ensure that the proposed use will not aversely impact the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The site for the 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 this development code and required by the City Planner,
Planning Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the
neighborhood.
The site for the proposed conditional is currently developed. The building which houses the
conditionally permitted use currently exists and the site has been improved with all existing
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development
features prescribed in this Development Code and required by the City Planner. No additional
physical site improvements are proposed as a part of this project.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community.
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed by the Planning Department, Building
and Safety Department, Community Services Department and Police Department. Each of
these departments have reviewed the project in light of the City Municipal Code, Development
Code and General Plan requirements and have. provided Conditions of Approval. The
Conditions of Approval include a number of operational restrictions and requirements to ensure
that the project is consistent with the noise thresholds in the General Plan, that the use complies
with the City's curfew for minors requirements, that loitering will not be permitted outside the
building or within the parking areas and that all life/safety requirements, including existing and
maximum occupancy requirements are being met. These Conditions of Approval are intended
to ensure that the approval of this project is not detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare of the public.

DH RESOLUTION NO.09-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNER OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION
NO. PA09-0026, A MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO AUTHORIZE RECITALS, LIVE MUSIC, CONCERTS,
AND OPEN MICROPHONE SESSIONS IN AN
APPROXIMATELY 1,200 SQUARE FOOT ASSEMBLY
SPACE WITHIN AN EXISTING 7,429 SQUARE FOOT
SUITE LOCATED AT 41607 ENTERPRISE CIRCLE
NORTH, SUITE A (APN: 909-281-011)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Planner of the City of Temecula
does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On January 27, 2009, James Messina, filed Planning Application No.
PA09-0026, a Minor Conditional Use Permit Application in a manner in accord with the
City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code.
B. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
C. The City Planner, at a regular meeting, considered the Application and
environmental review on April 9, 2009, 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 in opposition to this matter.
D. At the conclusion of the Director's Hearing and after due consideration of
the testimony, the City Planner approved Planning Application No. PA09-0026, subject
to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed in Planning Application
No. PA09-0026, conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan and Development
Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The City Planner, in approving Planning
Application No. PA09-0026, hereby makes the following findings as required by
Development Code Section 17.04.010 (E) Conditional Use Permit.
A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code;
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the
Development Code. The Land Use Designation of the property is Industrial Park
(IP). Typical uses in the industrial park may include professional offices,
research and development laboratories, light manufacturing, storage, industrial
supply and wholesale businesses. Although the proposed conditional use is not
a typical use for the Industrial Park land use designation, the unique impacts and
compatibility of this proposed conditional use have been analyzed in context with
the existing land uses, businesses and buildings in the surrounding area.
According to the Development Code, an auditorium for an all -ages entertainment
venue is allowed contingent upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. As
conditioned, the proposed project meets all applicable Development Code
requirements for conditionally permitted uses in the Business Park (BP) zoning
district. The project has also been conditioned to ensure consistency with all
applicable Municipal Code requirements as they relate to noise, curfew for
minors, safety and the protection of the general welfare.
B. 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;
The proposed conditional use, an auditorium for an all -ages entertainment venue
in the Business Park (BP) zone is compatible with the nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures. A land use compatibility
analysis indicates that the surrounding uses consist of primarily industrial,
warehouse/storage, office and general commercial uses. The majority of the
surrounding businesses operate during normal business hours (weekdays 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.). The proposed conditional use will operate after normal business
hours (Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 7.30 p.m. to midnight).
Therefore, the nature of the proposed use, which is a use that will occur after
normal business hours, is not anticipated to adversely affect, or conflict with the
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The proposed conditional use has been
reviewed for consistency with the General Plan and Development Code and the
unique impacts of this proposed conditional use have been analyzed. As a
result, the project has been conditioned to mitigate any potential impacts on
adjacent properties and ensure the continued maintenance of the public health,
safety and welfare. The project has been conditioned to require compliance with
applicable Development Code requirements and Municipal Code requirements
for noise and curfew for minors. The project, as conditioned, will ensure that the
proposed use will not aversely impact the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
C. The site for the 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 this Development Code and
required by the City Planner, Planning Commission or City Council in order to integrate
the use with other uses in the neighborhood;
The site for the proposed conditional use is currently developed. The building
which houses the conditionally permitted use currently exists and the site has
been improved with all existing walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer
areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this
development code and required by the City Planner. No additional physical site
improvements are proposed as a part of this project.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the community;
The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety, and general welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed by
the Planning Department, Building and Safety Department, Community Services
Department and Police Department. Each of these departments have reviewed
the project in light of the City's Municipal Code, Development Code and General
Plan requirements and have provided Conditions of Approval. The Conditions of
Approval include a number of operational restrictions and requirements to ensure
that the project is consistent with the noise thresholds in the General Plan, that
the use complies with the City's curfew for minors requirements, that loitering will
not be permitted outside the building or within the parking areas and that all
life/safety requirements, including existing and maximum occupancy
requirements are being met. These Conditions of Approval are intended to
ensure that the approval of this project is not detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The City Planner hereby makes the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of
the Minor Conditional Use Permit Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
pursuant to CEQA Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities. The proposed project
authorizes a conditionally permitted use (concerts, live musical performances, and open
microphone sessions) in an existing building within the City of Temecula. According to
the CEQA Guidelines, in order for a project to qualify for this categorical exemption the
key consideration is whether or not the project involves negligible or no expansion of an
existing use. The project qualifies for the Existing Facilities exemption because the
project involves no physical expansion of the existing building footprint. Additionally, the
conditionally permitted use to allow for concerts three nights a week is secondary to the
primary day -time use of the building, which is for retail, musical education and recording
purposes. No indirect traffic impacts are expected as a result of this project because
the hours of operation proposed for this conditionally permitted use does not conflict
with the other uses in the surrounding area. The other uses in the surrounding area are
primarily day -time uses and the conditionally permitted use is a primarily night-time use.
Therefore, no adverse traffic impacts are anticipated as a result of allowing . this
conditionally permitted use to commence and continue in this existing building. The
only construction activities that will take place as a result of this project are minor
interior tenant improvements which will not result in a significant environmental impact.
Section 4. Conditions. The City Planner of the City of Temecula approves
Planning Application No. PA09-0026, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to authorize
recitals, live music, concerts, open mic and jam sessions in an approximately 1,200
square foot assembly space within an existing 7,429 square foot suite located at 41607
Enterprise Circle North, Suite A (APN: 909-281-011), subject to the Conditions of
Approval set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
City Planner this 9th day of April 2009.
Patrick Richardson, City Planner
I, Cynthia Lariccia, Secretary of the Temecula Director's Hearing, do hereby
certify that the forgoing DH Resolution No. 09- was duly and regularly adopted
by the City Planner of the City of Temecula at a regular meeting thereof held on the 9th
day of April 2009.

Statement Of Operations
The Temecula Valley School Of Music And The Arts (TVSOMATA) is proud to teach
most musical instruments and visual arts.
Our facility is designed to offer private lessons and group classes in a professional
environment Monday Through Saturday.
We have 15 private studios and two classrooms. Our teaching staff is comprised of some
of the best music and art educators in Southern California teaching over 600 students on a
weekly basis.
We offer the occasional use of our classrooms free of charge to the Art Council of
Temecula Valley to support their classes and workshops.
TVSOMATA offers sound -proof rehearsal studios where bands can practice; allowing
many of them to avoid what otherwise would be a loud disturbance when done in home
garages in the residential area.
We will be introducing "The Artist Salon" a relaxed, comfortable gathering of poets,
aspiring artist web designers and my space builders to share and get feedback on their
latest works.
We provide the means to have music performances and recitals to showcase students and
local musicians. It also serves as a venue for people of all ages in the community to listen
to music performed by our students, professional and semi-professional bands. Most
students benefit from listening to guest bands, as most scholars are inspired and
encouraged by their performances.
Our performance area, named "The Vault', includes a professional audio system and
theatrical lighting. Moreover, the purpose of "The Vault' is to showcase the talent of our
students and teachers as well as the musicians in the Temecula Valley. It is estimated that
there are over 2,000 bands within a 25 mile radius, many of which need a place to
showcase their talents. Additionally it helps generate business in that many of these
musicians may have talent, but need lessons to develop it. Our recording studio is also
advertised via the Vault, giving bands and performers an avenue to record their music.
Parents, grandparents and relatives of the students and/or musicians attend these concerts
and recitals. The response has been unanimously positive. All participating parents have
congratulated us and furthermore have stated how this town needed exactly what we are
providing.
Our goal is to provide a safe facility, drug free with a "Zero Tolerance" policy.
We will provide the necessary security as required to ensure safety and harmony.
Our regular business hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 am to 8 pm,
Fridays 11 am to 6 pm and Saturday 10 am to 6 pm. The recitals and concerts are
performed Thursdays 8 pm to midnight and Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 to midnight

SUBJECT: Complaints against PA08-0206, Public House Minor Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) for live entertainment and an upgrade to a Type 47 (On -Sale General)
Alcohol Beverage Control license to allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled
spirits
The Planning Department has received several complaints since- the Minor Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) for the Public House (in Old Town) was approved at Director's Hearing November
20, 2008. The majority of the complaints involve patrons of the Public House using parking
spaces in the private lot at Rosa's Cantina, loud music from the live entertainment, and general
rowdiness.
The following is a summary of complaints that support the Planning Department's desire to
review and modify the CUP as allowed in Section 17.04.010, E., 3. of the Development Code:
Director's Hearing
The Director's Hearing was held on November 20, 2008. Mike and Rosa Thesing, and Richard
Leigh expressed concerns regarding the proposed Conditional Use Permit. (Attachment 1,
Minutes from the November 20, 2008 Director's Hearing).
E-mail Complaints and Phone Call Summaries
Please see the attached e-mail complaints and phone calls summarized in a -mails dated
November 19 from Mike Thesing, January 13 from Christine Damko (City Staff), and January 6
from Cheryl Kitzerow. (Attachment 2).
Phone Call Complaints
November 19, 2008 — phone call from Mike Thesing asking about the Public Hearing and how to
protest the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Thesing said he was going to document his concerns in
an e-mail and speak at the Public Hearing.
G:IPLANNING%2008\PA08-0206 Public House Minor CUPPlanning\M - SUMMARY OF COMPLAINTS Re -open CUP.doc
November 20, 2008 — Richard Leigh, owner of the Shire Building, called to express concern for
the live entertainment (noise and hours). Mr. Leigh also mentioned that he saw patrons using
temporary porta-potties and questioned the building code requirements for bathrooms based on
occupancy of the outdoor patio.
December 5, 2008 — phone call from Rosa Thesing regarding delivery truck for the Public
House (linens) parking in the drive aisle of the Rosa's parking lot during lunch hour blocking
spaces/patrons from coming/going. Staff requested e-mail from Mrs. Thesing to document this
complaint but none was received.
January 6, 2009 — phone call from Rosa Thesing regarding "Beer Fest" that occurred at the
Public House on January 3, 2009. Mrs. Thesing complained of rowdiness and drunken patrons
coming in to Rosa's to use restrooms because Public House restroom facilities are inadequate.
(Attachment 3).
Code Enforcement Actions
On January 12, 2009, Marianne Parker gave a verbal warning to a Manager (Kim) to remove
the tent that was illegally placed to cover the back patio. The tent was not part of an approved
Development Plan nor was there a Temporary Use Permit approved for the tent. The tent
created a fire hazard given the portable heating units underneath. (Attachment 4, e-mail from
Marianne Parker, Code Enforcement).
Fire Department Actions
On January 12, 2009, Sean Dakin, Temecula Fire Prevention Bureau also gave a verbal
warning to the owner, Gerry Kent regarding the same tent mentioned above under Code
Enforcement Actions.
Police Department Calls
Sergeant Eric Albert, Temecula Police Department summarized his phone conversations and
contact with the owners regarding parking problems in an e-mail. (Attachment 5).
Meeting with City Staff as requested by the Mike and Rose TtggM
City Staff, including Matt Peters, Debbie Ubnoske, Patrick Richardson, Rich Johnson and Sean
Dakin, met with Mike and Rose Thesing and their friend, Barbara Wilder to discuss the Public
House. There major concerns involved parking, noise, security, and the lack of bathrooms at
the Public House. Also, two letters were submitted by friends to support the complaints.
(Attachment 6).
City staff would like to modify the Conditions of Approval for PA08-0206 to include a
requirement for the owner of the Public House to hire a security guard to monitor parking to
ensure that patrons of the Public House do not use the private lot behind Rosa's Cantina (which
impairs their ability to do business). The Planning Department would also like to restrict
deliveries to morning hours and keep the delivery trucks from parking in the drive aisle in the
Rosa's Cantina parking lot. Finally, staff would like to consider modifying the hours and
amplification of the live entertainment.

Re: Case No: PA08-0206
Planning Director Meeting
Dear Mr. Peters:
Our office manages Rancon Plaza located in Old Town Temecula at 28636
Old Town Front Street. We are in opposition of the conditional use permit,
to allow the restaurant, across the street from Rancon Plaza property, to
upgrade its type 41 ABC License.
The Rancon Plaza parking lot is in continual use by the public house's
restaurants patrons. We have unsuccessfully tried to control the parking
situation over the last few months, and we are concerned that if the use
permit is approved, the parking situation will become worse.
Your review of this parking matter in conjunction with your hearing on the
above mentioned Case Number would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
J. Steve Tiritilli

Patrick,
Here are my thoughts (in red) on Gerry's comments on the COA's: Sorry we were not able to discuss.
a. Approval date and Expiration should be changed to the revisit date April 9th — I don't agree,
Revision Date at top of COA's/approval is not changing
b. PL-10 better to put live entertainment will not go beyond 12am midnight all seven days of the
week — instead of 6pm-12 limiting weekend entertainment— I agree that the entertainment use
is a benefit to Old Town on the weekends but the daytime noise was a concern of neighbors
c. PL-12 fire dept has determined occupancy pending proper exits! its 276 outback and 36 inside!
— this is not a new COA, it was added at the 11/08 hearing
d. PL-18 Totally cool with Security; but during normal business hours is a little over kill.. I propose
to have it ALWAYS during our busy times like Friday and Saturday nights 9pm to close! - there
are opportunities to be more flexible on this one, maybe on all weekend evenings and any time
live entertainment is provided?
e. PL-19 I'd prefer to have it be before 11am. — I wouldn't change this from 10 to 11 because if the
truck shows up at 11 and is there for 1/2 hour then you start to get into lunch time (10:30
should be ok though)

Hi all! Hope your weekend was great!
Couple things I noticed on conditions that I wanted to bring up!? Wanna make sure we are being fair since we
are all breaking the ice here ;)
1. Approval date and Expiration should be changed to the revisit date April 9th
2. PL-10 better to put live entertainment will not go beyond 12am midnight all seven days of the week!
(we like to have nice entertainment whenever it seems fit per example Sunday afternoon etc) helps
keep people in Old Town!
3. PL-12 fire dept has determined occupancy pending proper exits! its 276 outback and 36 inside!
4. PL-18 Totally cool with Security; but during normal business hours is a little over kill.. I propose to have
it ALWAYS during our busy times like Friday and Saturday nights 9pm to close! We don't need security
for the parking lot when we have 30 to 50 people here all day. Also, in thinking about the situation more
using our parking issue numbers I have given before regarding there being about 6 to 12 cars parked
across at Rosa's on a night they have called us. We have gone personally to every table to ask if they
were parked there and to move. Only about 50 to 70 percent of the cars were from us. On those
weekend nights when we are at our busiest we have 120 to 250 people here at once. I would point out
11111111701119
Page 2 of 2
that might be about 60 to 80 cars total... That means that under 10 percent of the people that come here
park at Rosa's... not to mention they are closed at this timel lust something to think about. We have
taken it very seriously and I think our sign, emails and announcing it have really helped!
5. PL-19 I'd prefer to have it be before 11am.. 1 have asked them to come before 10:30 already and it's
been quite difficult! But for about 90 percent of the deliveries they come before that time. In addition all
our drivers at this point have been informed not to use Rosa's parking lot for loading and unloading for
us! So it is in therory I don't mind what ever we decide cause we are always trying!
Thanks again let me know about some of these thoughts. Crazy to think that all of this started over some parking
stalls! Also, I would like to say thanks for meeting with me and working on real solutions to this problem! I of
course remember your advice on not being defensive.. I will be very factual in all I support! I'm a logic based
person its natural. Thanks guys and gal!

This e-mail is to confirm our phone conversation today whereby I notified you about what took place
last Tuesday night March 16, St Patricks's Day, in Rosa's Cantina's parking lot. The Public House
restaurant hosted an evening party celebrating St Pat's Day, and of course, as usual, two of his customers
were seen urinating in in our parking lot. Not only is this a health hazard it's disgusting. Then to make
things worse our parking lot was mostly taken up by his customers' cars. I am suggesting a moratorium
by the City of Temecula be invoked on parties given by the Public House on Weekends and other events
until there is ample bathroom facilities to service his clientele..... E-mail copy to Attorney Kirk Barber.
Have a good day, Mike Thesing
