BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On February 21, 2012, Dean Davidson submitted Planning Application No. PA12-0032. The
application will allow the restaurant to obtain a Type 47 Alcohol License from the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This project was originally scheduled for the
May 2, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. However, the Riverside County Department of
Environmental Health (DEH) commented that the restrooms serving Soro's Restaurant and the
rest of the Temecula Stage Stop, including the Wine and Beer Garden, did not have adequate
restroom facilities for employees and patrons. City Staff worked with DEH and have included
the following Condition of Approval to satisfy all parties:
PL -13. An approved unisex restroom will be constructed on Ed Dool's property
(Temecula Stage Stop) within two years of issuance of the Conditional Use
Permit (PA12-0032) for a Type 47 ABC license for Soro's Mediterranean Grill.
This restroom can be used by both employees of Soro's and by its patrons. If the
restroom is not constructed to completion within the two-year timeframe, the City
will hold a public hearing to revoke the Conditional Use Permit for PA12-0032.
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 applicant currently has a Type 41 ABC License (beer and wine) and intends to obtain a
Type 47 ABC License (On -Sale General Eating Place). The license will allow for the sale and
consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. Distilled alcoholic beverage sales at restaurants
require the approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit. ABC will process findings of Public
Convenience or Necessity upon approval of the Minor Conditional Use Permit. No changes are
proposed to the structure or site as part of the application.
The Department of Environmental Health provided comments on the project requiring additional
restroom facilities, which has been addressed.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Californian on August 23, 2012 and mailed to
the property owners within the required 600 -foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. (Section 15301, Class 1
Existing Facilities).
The application will allow an existing restaurant to upgrade their liquor license from a Type 41 to
a Type 47. The upgraded license will allow for the consumption of beer, wine, and distilled
spirits. No modifications are proposed for the existing structure and site plan.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Permit (Section 97.04.090)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
The use will allow an existing restaurant to upgrade its liquor license from a Type 41 to a Type
47. No operational changes to the restaurant are proposed. Per the City of Temecula
Development Code (Table 17.08.030), alcoholic beverage sales at restaurants, excluding beer
and wine, require the approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit. A Type 47 license is typical
for restaurants and will be consistent with General Plan and Development Code policies.
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 application will allow for the upgrade of an existing liquor license. Restaurants commonly
pursue Type 47 Licenses from ABC as a way to offer their customers a wider selection of
beverage choices. Therefore, the use will be compatible with the nature, condition and
development of the adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional use
will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures.
The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other
development features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the Planning
Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
The application will allow for the upgrade of an existing liquor license. The site will remain
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 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 all City Departments and meets all requirements of
Development Code and General Plan which provided safeguards for the health, safety and
general welfare of the community. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to be detrimental to
the health, safety and general welfare of the community.
That the decision to conditionally approve or deny the application for a Conditional Use Permit
be based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning
Commission or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for the conditional use is based on
substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.

the Business and Profession Code (B&P), which includes the following requirements:
(a) name of person; (b) date of birth; (c) physical description; (d) photograph; (e)
currently valid (not expired). It is the responsibility of the business owner and any
person who serves or sells alcohol to be aware of current laws and regulations
pertaining to alcoholic beverages.
PD -7. Sections 24200.5 (b) and 25657 (a) (b) B&P; Rule 143 CCR: Section 303 (a) (PC): On -
sale licensees may not: (a) employ hosts, hostesses, or entertainers who solicit others
to buy them drinks, alcoholic or non-alcoholic; (b) pay or agree to pay such an employee
a percentage of the receipts from the sales of drinks solicited; (c) permit any person
whether an employee or not, to loiter for the purpose of soliciting an alcoholic drink.
PD -8. Type 41, 47 and 49 licensees must operate and maintain their licensed premises as a
bona fide eating place. They must make actual and substantial sale of meals, during the
normal meal hours that they are open, at least five days a week. Normal meal hours
are: breakfast 6:00 a.m. — 9:00 a.m., lunch 11:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m., and dinner 6:00
p.m. — 9:00 p.m. Premises that are not open five days a week must serve meals on the
days they are open. The premises must be equipped and maintained in good faith. This
means the premises must possess working refrigeration and cooking devices, pots,
pans, utensils, table service, condiment dispensers, menus, posters, signs, and enough
goods to make substantial meals. The premises must comply with all regulations of the
local health department. Incidental, sporadic or infrequent sales of meals or a mere
offering of meals without actual sales is not compliance. "Meals" means the usual
assortment of food commonly ordered at various hours of the day. The service of only
sandwiches or salads is not considered compliance. However, certain specialty entrees,
such as pizza, fish or ribs, and an assortment of other foods, such as soups, salads or
desserts, may be considered a meal. The Department will 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. (Note: Some licensees
have a "conditional" license that requires food sales to be 50% or more of the total
gross sales Sections 23038 and 23787 B&P).
PD -9. Licensees may not sell, give, or deliver alcohol (by the drink or by the package) between

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 -10. Police officers, sheriff's 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 anytime
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).

noise, loud music, loitering, littering, vandalism, urination or defecation, graffiti, etc;
and/or (b) has many ongoing crimes inside such as drunks, fights, assaults, prostitution
narcotics, etc. The licensed premises area includes the parking lot ( Sections 24200
(a) (B&P) and 25601 B&P; 316 PC).
