Ron Guerriero Luke Watson Planning Commissioner (Acting Chairperson) Interim Director of Community Development ITEM 3 Approvals City Attorney Finance Director City Manager CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager /City Council FROM: Randi Johl - Olson, City Clerk DATE: July 16, 2015 SUBJECT: Appoint Member to the Planning Commission and Authorize Recruitment for Public/Traffic Safety Commission As Necessary PREPARED BY: Randi Johl - Olson, City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council appoint Gary Youmans to the Planning Commission and authorize the recruitment for the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, as necessary. BACKGROUND: On June 9, 2015, the City Council unanimously extended the recruitment period for a position on the Planning Commission due to former Planning Commissioner Pat Kight's application withdrawal and relocation outside of the City's jurisdiction. The extended application period ran from June 10 — June 30, 2015. Existing applications already received for the previous recruitment were considered jointly with any new applications received during the extended time period. Fifteen applications were forwarded to the committee comprised of Mayor Comerchero and Council Member Nagger for review and recommendation. Both Mayor Comerchero and Council Member Nagger have recommended the appointment of Gary Youmans to serve a full three -year term through June 15, 2018. All applicants are registered voters and live within the city limits of the City of Temecula. If the City Council ratifies the recommendation of the committee by appointing Mr. Youmans to the Planning Commission, a vacancy results on the Public/Traffic Safety Commission of which Mr. Youmans is currently a member. As such, staff also asks for authorization to recruit for the resulting vacancy on the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. The recruitment period would be July 20 — August 10, 2015. The appointment to fill that vacancy for the remaining term expiring on October 10, 2017 will likely be made at the August 25, 2015 meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: Fifteen Planning Commission Appointment Applications ITEM 4 REORGANIZATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION a) Select nominations and vote for Chairperson to serve until the last meeting of December, 2015. b) Select nominations and vote for Vice - Chairperson to serve until the last meeting of December, 2015. Temecula Regular Planning Commission Meeting — September 2, 2015 ITEM 5 STAFF REPORT— PLANNING CITY OF TEMECULA PLANNING COMMISSION DATE OF MEETING: September 2, 2015 TO: Planning Commission Chairperson and members of the Planning Commission FROM: Luke Watson, Interim Director of Community Development PREPARED BY: Scott Cooper, Case Planner PROJECT Planning Application No. PA15 -1214, a Finding of Public SUMMARY: Convenience or Necessity for Fairfield Inn & Suites to allow the sale of beer and wine within the designated marketplace of the existing hotel under a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer & Wine) ABC License located at 27416 Jefferson Avenue RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution approving the Findings for a Public Convenience or Necessity. CEQA: Categorically Exempt Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities PROJECT DATA SUMMARY Name of Applicant: Kimberly Gross General Plan Highway Tourist (HT) Designation: Zoning Designation: Highway Tourist (HT) Existing Conditions/ Land Use: Site: Existing Hotel /Highway Tourist (HT) North: Interstate 15 / N/A South: Existing Commercial Center /Highway Tourist (HT) East: Existing Commercial Center /Highway Tourist (HT) West: Existing Commercial Center /Highway Tourist (HT) Existing /Proposed Min /Max Allowable or Required Lot Area: 1.70 Acres 0.46 Acres Minimum Total Floor Area /Ratio: N/A N/A Landscape Area /Coverage: N/A N/A Parking Required /Provided: N/A N/A BACKGROUND SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS On August 13, 2015, Kimberly Gross submitted Planning Application No.PA15 -1214 for a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for Fairfield Inn & Suites to operate under a Type 20 ABC License (Off Sale Beer & Wine) located at 27416 Jefferson Avenue. This acquisition will allow the applicant to sell beer and wine within the designated Marketplace, to hotel guests, located off the lobby area and was part of the original construction. This will allow the applicant to stay competitive with other hotels in the area as it is a convenience that travelers have come to expect when making the accommodation arrangements. The Conditional Use Permit for the Type 20 ABC License was approved under PA15 -0402 on July 15, 2015. However, the Public Convenience or Necessity was not applied for and not recognized by City Staff that it was required as part of the approval of the Type 20 ABC License for this location. While the sale of beer and wine is an incidental or conditionally permitted use, the Census Tract is "over- concentrated" with Type 20 Licenses and requires a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for an additional license. Per ABC, there are two off -sale licenses allowed and sixteen existing within the Census Tract. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was mailed to the property owners within 1,000 -foot radius on August 20, 2015, and published in the U -T San Diego on August 23, 2015. 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 request for a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for Fairfield Inn & Suites to allow the off sale of beer and wine within the designated marketplace will be conducted in an existing hotel. All access and public utilities are available to the site. The proposed use, with prior issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, is in conformance with all zoning requirements of the Development Code. FINDINGS Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (Section 17.10.020) Whether or not the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code. Fairfield Inn & Suites operates as a hotel. The proposed use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan which specifies that the Highway Tourist (HT) designation includes hotels serving the entire community. The off sale of beer and wine would serve as an incidental use to the establishment operations. Whether or not the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and character of adjacent land uses. Fairfield Inn & Suites is an existing hotel within the Highway Tourist zone. As previously conditioned, the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. Whether or not the proposed use would have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses. Fairfield Inn & Suites is an existing hotel within the Highway Tourist zone. As previously conditioned, the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. In addition, the site will remain unaltered, and 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. The addition of the proposed use does not impact any of the site requirements. Whether or not the proposed use would result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity. The Fairfield Inn & Suites is located in a Census Tract which ABC considers "over - concentrated" with off -sale licenses. Per ABC, two off -sale licenses are allowed in this tract, and sixteen currently exist. Therefore, a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity is required for Fairfield Inn & Suites to be the seventeenth establishment with an off -sale ABC License. The finding will allow the applicant to stay competitive with other hotels in the area, as it is a convenience that travelers have come to expect when making the accommodation arrangements. The Findings of Public Convenience or Necessity will not result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity as the Springhill Suites being the any other hotel that operates under a Type 20 ABC License within the Census Tract.

Many lodging establishments offer alcoholic beverages to their guests for on -site consumption and it is a convenience that travelers have come to expect when making their accommodation arrangements. It is our goal at the Fairfield Inn to provide travelers with full amenities to ensure a relaxing and convenient stay. The approval of this license will not create any negative impact on the surrounding community. We are aware of the concerns regarding the operation of the location associated with the alcoholic beverage sales. Our request to sell alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption will not in any way endanger or constitute a menace to the general welfare of safety of public health nor will there be a substantial adverse effect on traffic circulation. Our site is suitable and adequate for the sales of alcoholic beverages for the personal comfort and convenience of our guests at their leisure. Please note the following in regards to business use: • There are no unique features. This is a small 5' x 12' area with reach -in refrigerators for cold items and shelving for dry good items such as toiletries and snacks, in the lobby of our hotel. • Our establishment caters only to over -night guests who use our accommodations. • The service to provide alcoholic beverages is consistent and compatible with the community and only seeks to ensure that all levels of amenities are comparable with that of the other locations nearby. • Our establishment is located in the corner area of two main roads (Jefferson & Winchester) and has small entrance /exit ways that allows traffic to flow amongst the other establishments (Jack - in- the -Box, Chin's Gourmet) that are located in the same vicinity. • There is not a significant influx of population during any certain seasonal period. • It is unknown if there is a proliferation of licensed establishments within the Census Tract. • There are no sensitive uses within close proximity. • Our location is in a business area; there is no concern of interfering with any local resident's quiet enjoyment. • This will not add to law enforcement problems in the area. We respectfully request that the City of Temecula find that the Certification of Public Convenience or Necessity to be served by the issuance of our license.
