AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
(APN 909-270-013)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On April 2, 2008, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
Nos. PA07-0087 and PA08-0027, a Minor Conditional Use Permit and Findings of
Public Convenience or Necessity to operate a membership only cigar lounge (Zarka
Cigar Lounge) with a Type 42 License located at 28120 Jefferson Avenue. On August 5,
2009, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA09-0132, a Minor
Modification to the originally approved Type 42 license to be converted to a Type 57
License at the same cigar lounge.
• B. On November 22, 2016, Zacher Abou filed Planning Application No.
PA16-1579, a Conditional Use Permit Application to relocate the existing Zarka Cigar
Lounge in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development
Code.
C. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
D. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on February 1, 2017, 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.
E. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA16-1579 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
F. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the Application
hereby finds, determines and declares that:
Conditional Use Permit, Development Code Section 17.04.010 (E)
•
X:\Planning\2016\PA16-1578 Zarka Cigar Minor Mod\Planning\Hearing\CUP PC Resolution Exempt from CEQA.docx
• A. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and
Development Code;
The proposed project will allow for a members only cigar lounge with a Type 57
ABC license to operate at an existing structure. The General Plan refers to the
Uptown Temecula Specific Plan (UTSP) for use compatibility. The project is
located within the Uptown Arts (UA) district of the UTSP. Private smoking
lounges are permitted in the UA upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Furthermore, the UTSP provides that any building or structure that was lawfully
established and in compliance with all applicable ordinances and laws at the time
the building or structure was established, but which, due to a subsequently
enacted ordinance or law, no longer complies with regulations or standards of the
zone, shall be considered a legal non-conforming building or structure. Buildings
and structures that were legally established prior to the adoption of the UTSP are
allowed to continue as they were, prior to the date of adoption of this specific
plan, until one or more development proposal thresholds occurs. Moreover,
existing legal non-conforming buildings that contain legal non-conforming land
uses shall be permitted to expand their structure to be used by the existing legal
non-conforming land use. The UTSP further provides that any use of land that
was lawfully established and in compliance with all applicable ordinances and
laws at the time the use was established; however, due to a subsequently
enacted ordinance or law, no longer complies with the applicable regulations or
• standards of the zone in which the use is located shall be considered a legal non
conforming use.
The site was previously zoned as Service Commercial. The Service Commercial
land use designation permitted tobacco retailers as a matter of right, and
membership clubs were conditionally permitted uses. Therefore, a members
only tobacco lounge was a conditionally permitted use under the Service
Commercial zone.
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 use will take place within a two story stand alone building and
outdoor patio. The use exceeds the reasonable distance requirement of 25 feet
as stipulated in the Development Code to protect areas that must remain
nonsmoking from being impacted by second hand smoke. None of the other uses
in the center are considered sensitive uses. Therefore, the use is compatible with
the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures.
The proposed conditional use is not anticipated to adversely affect the adjacent
uses, buildings, or structures.
•
XAPlanning\2016\PA16-1578 Zarka Cigar Minor Mod\Planning\Hearing\CUP PC Resolution Exempt from CEQA.docx
• C. 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 this Development Code and
required by the Planning Commission or Council in order to integrate the use with other
uses in the neighborhood.
The project proposes to add an outdoor patio and incorporate tenant
improvements. The project site and its existing development are adequate in size
and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading
facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other features prescribed in the
Development Code and required by the Planning Commission in order to
integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the community.
The project is conditioned to be consistent with the Building Code, Fire Code,
and Municipal Code, which contain provisions to ensure the health, Safety and
General Welfare of the Community. Therefore, as conditioned the project will be
designed to ensure the use is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general
welfare of the community. The private smoking lounge is also at least 25 feet
away from other uses thereby minimizing the exposure of others to second-hand
smoke.
• E. That the decision to approve, 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 director, planning commission, or city council on
appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the conditional use is based on substantial
evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Commission.
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 Application:
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 cigar lounge is proposed to be located in an existing
commercial center. The only change to the site will be the addition of an outdoor
patio. No expansion of the existing facility is proposed and no modifications will
be done to the exterior of the structure.
• Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA16 1579, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow

sells or serves alcoholic beverages to be aware of current laws and regulations pertaining to
alcoholic beverages.
64. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. 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 as conditions 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.
65. Business Security Survey. Businesses desiring a business security survey of their location
