separation requirement for sensitive uses when a business sells alcoholic
beverages and the 1,000 foot separation from other existing liquor stores.

accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and

Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (Development Code Section 17.10.020.b.5)
F. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code;
As conditioned, the project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
designation of Highway Tourist Commercial and meets all of the goals and
policies contained in the General Plan. The General Plan anticipated land uses
that serve the commercial needs of tourist to be located in the Highway Tourist
Commercial Land Use Designation. Additionally, the project meets all applicable
requirements contained in the Development Code, including the 500 -foot
separation requirement for sensitive uses when a business sells alcoholic
beverages and the 1,000 foot separation from other existing liquor stores.
G. Is the proposed use compatible with the nature, condition and character of
adjacent land uses;
The liquor store will be located in an existing commercial center within a
commercially zoned area. Uses within this center consist of restaurants, general
retail, a hookah lounge and a martial arts studio. Uses surrounding the project
consist of restaurants, general retail, self - storage, and a utility station. The
proposed use has been reviewed and conditioned by Building and Safety,
Community Services, Fire, and the Police Department to ensure it is compatible
with the nature, condition and character of the adjacent land uses.
H. Will the proposed use would have an adverse effect on adjacent land
uses;
Liquor stores are permitted with a Conditional Use Permit in the proposed
location per the Vail Ranch Specific Plan (SP -10) and the City of Temecula
Development Code. In addition, uses described in the Vail Ranch Specific Plan
are intended to co -exist with one another. Due to the Conditional Use Permit
requirement in the Development Code and Finding of Public Convenience or
Necessity required from the State of California, Building and Safety, Community
Services, Fire, and the Police Department were able to further review and
condition the project to ensure that it will not have an adverse effect on adjacent
land uses.
I. Would the proposed use result in an excessive number of similar
establishments in close proximity;
The Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity Application is only intended to
address the proposed project. It does not permit additional liquor stores to
operate in the immediate area. Furthermore, the City of Temecula Development
Code (Section 17.10.020.B.4.a) states that liquor stores must be located no less
than 1,000 feet from one another.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Conditional Use Permit and Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity
Applications:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities).
The project qualifies for the Existing Facilities exemption under CEQA Section
15301, Class 1. The liquor store will be located in a currently existing shopping
center. The only change is that the approval of the Conditional Use Permit and
Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity applications will authorize the sale of
beer, wine and distilled spirits. No modifications are proposed to the exterior of
the structure. All work will consist of tenant improvements.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application Nos. PA10 -0063 and PA10 -0064, a Conditional Use
Permit and Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity to operate a 1,704 square foot

PD -18. Crime prevention through environmental design as developed by the National Crime
Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept that "the proper design and effective
use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime
and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary strategies that support this
concept are included below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border definition
may include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a building, the
arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means of identifying
controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify
when they are moving from public to semi - public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a
location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users due
to observation and possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of
natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the
users of the areas feel safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that may
conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area, for
example) by distance, natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk
for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance and
intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal users
need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention. Windows and
clear lines -of -sight serve to provide such a perception of surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications (portable two -way radios, for example) and design
efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
PD -19. Any questions regarding these conditions should be directed to the Temecula Police
Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at (951) 695 -2773.
