BACKGROUND SUMMARY
On December 5, 2017, the applicant, Paul Deppe, submitted a Conditional Use Permit (PA17-
1696) and a Minor Modification (PA17-1697) application to modify a previously constructed (but
never occupied)drive-thru bank located at 30679 Temecula Parkway and convert it to a Popeyes
drive-thru restaurant.
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
Site Plan
The site for the proposed Popeyes location was originally designed as a 4,140 square foot drive-
thru bank. While the building was completed, the building was never occupied due to economic
circumstances. After a decade of being vacant, Popeyes is requesting a Conditional Use Permit
to convert the existing building into a drive-thru restaurant.
Staff has worked with the applicant to address issues related to the conversion of the building
from a drive-thru bank to a drive-thru restaurant. The applicant was able to resolve issues related
with drive-thru restaurant stacking (a minimum of six stacking spaces are required and provided).
In order to achieve the above stacking changes, an approximately 50 square foot addition is
proposed to pop-out a drive-thru window (on the west elevation) that is accessible to customers
who will remain in their vehicles while picking up food.
The existing shopping center contains a reciprocal parking agreement. Under the Development
Code, 222 parking spaces are required. The center currently contains 335 parking spaces, which
exceeds the minimum requirement by 113 parking spaces.
Architecture
The proposed project will include the demolition of the second lane of the existing two lane drive-
thru canopy. The fagade from this canopy will be replicated on the truncated single lane canopy.
Additional landscape wall changes (adjacent to the restaurant)will allow the drive-thru pop out to
remain while still maintaining aesthetic screening. Finally, the new pick-up window will be required
to have a decorative overhang/trellis that ensures that the new addition does not appear to be an
afterthought.
Landscaping
The applicant proposes to make two minor landscaping changes for the proposed project. One,
an additional landscape area will be added where vehicles exit the drive-thru to ensure that two
vehicles may not exit at once. Two, a small landscape wall that encloses a patio will be altered to
allow for the new drive-thru pick up window pop-out. All other landscaping will remain.

LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
Notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on March 5, 2018, 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 request for a Modification for a drive-thru restaurant will be conducted in an existing drive-
thru building and involves a negligible expansion of the existing and expected uses. All access
and public utilities are available to the site. The proposed use, with issuance of a Conditional Use
Permit is in conformance with all zoning requirements of the Development Code.
FINDINGS
Conditional Use Pormit_(Deyelopment Code Section 17.04.010.1)
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code.
Popeyes will operate as a drive-thru restaurant that specializes in chicken and Cajun style food.
The proposed conditional use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, which
specifies Highway/Tourist for this site. Highway/Tourist identifies restaurants as a desired use.
The Development Code identifies restaurants with drive-thru/fast food as a conditionally permitted
use. Economic Development Policy 2.2 states, "Plan for land use and development patterns that
allow succession of use, adapt to Temecula's economic conditions, and promote development of
properly located and well-designed commercial centers meeting the diverse service needs of the
City." The proposed conditional use adheres to this policy described in the General Plan.
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.
Popeyes will operate within an existing building within the Highway/Tourist area. As conditioned,
the proposed conditional use for a drive-thru restaurant is compatible with the nature, condition
and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures because the surrounding area
includes similar uses such as restaurant and retail uses. The proposed conditional use will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures because the surrounding buildings are
designed for restaurant and retail uses. Additionally, the existing building was designed for drive-
thru services.
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.
X:\Planning\2017\PA17-1696 Popeye's CUP\Planning\Director's Hearing\PA17-1695 Director's Hearing Report.docx
3
The site for the proposed conditional use was constructed in compliance with the development
standards of the Development Code and is therefore 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 Director,
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 meets all the requirements of the Development Code, Fire Code and the Building
Code, 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 Director,
Planning Commission or City Council on appeal.
The decision to conditionally approve the application for a Conditional Use Permit has been based
on substantial evidence in view of the record as a whole before the Planning Director.
Modification, DPvPIonmPnt Code Section 17.05.010.F
The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula and with all applicable
requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
Popeyes will operate as a drive-thru restaurant that specializes in chicken and Cajun style food.
The Modification is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, which specifies
Highway/Tourist for this site. Highway/Tourist identifies restaurants as a desired use. The
Development Code identifies restaurants with drive-thru/fast food as a conditionally permitted use.
Economic Development Policy 2.2 states, "Plan for land use and development patterns that allow
succession of use, adapt to Temecula's economic conditions, and promote development of
properly located and well-designed commercial centers meeting the diverse service needs of the
City." The proposed conditional use adheres to this policy described in the General Plan.
The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and
general welfare;
The overall design of the project, including the site, building, and parking is consistent with, and
intended to protect the health and safety of those working and living in an around the site as the
project is consistent with the General Plan, City Wide Design Guidelines, and Development Code.

APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION NO. PA17-1696, A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONVERT AN EXISTING
DRIVE-THRU BANK TO A DRIVE-THRU POPEYES
RESTAURANT AT 30679 TEMECULA PARKWAY, AND
MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
(APN 961-410-010)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Director of Community Development of
the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On December 5, 2017, filed Planning Application No. PA17-1696
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 Director of Community Development, at a regular meeting, considered
the Application and environmental review on March 15, 2018, 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 Director of Community Development approved Planning Application
No. PA17-1696 subject to Conditions of Approval, after finding that the project proposed
in Planning Application No. PA17-1696 conformed to the City of Temecula's General Plan
and Development Code.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Director of Community Development, in
approving Planning Application No. PA17-1696, hereby makes the following findings as
required by:
Conditional Use Permit, Development Code Section 17.04.010.E.
A. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan for Temecula
and with all applicable requirements of State law and other Ordinances of the City;
Popeyes will operate as a drive-thru restaurant that specializes in chicken and
Cajun style food. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the City of
Temecula General Plan, which specifies Highway/Tourist for this site.
Highway/Tourist identifies restaurants as a desired use. The Development Code
identifies restaurants with drive-thru/fast food as a conditionally permitted use.
Economic Development Policy 2.2 states, "Plan for land use and development
patterns that allow succession of use, adapt to Temecula's economic conditions,
and promote development of properly located and well-designed commercial
centers meeting the diverse service needs of the City." The proposed conditional
use adheres to this policy described in the General Plan.
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.
Popeyes will operate within an existing building within the Highway/Tourist area.
As conditioned, the proposed conditional use for a drive-thru restaurant is
compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings
and structures because the surrounding area includes similar uses such as
restaurant and retail uses. The proposed conditional use will not adversely affect
the adjacent uses, buildings or structures because the surrounding buildings are
designed for restaurant and retail uses. Additionally, the existing building was

58. Crime Prevention Through Desi n. 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: 1. 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. 2. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to
be able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public to private space. 3.
Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where there is good
surveillance and access control. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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.
59. Business Security Survey. The Crime Prevention and Plans Unit of the Temecula Police
Department offers free business security surveys, to schedule an appointment contact the unit
at(951) 506-5132.
60. Contact. Any questions regarding these conditions should be directed to the Temecula Police
Department Crime Prevention and Plans Unit at(951) 506-5132.

Re Proposed Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen Restaurant
Conversion of Existing (Vacant) Building
30679 Highway 79 South
Temecula, CA 92592
Dear Planning Staff,
Please accept this description as the justification letter to accompany the submittal of the remainder of the
required documents for our Pre-Application Package.
This application is for the proposed development of a new 4,190 sf Popeye's Fast Casual Drive Through
restaurant. The restaurant is proposed to be a conversion of the currently vacant 4,140 sf bank building, with
a 50 sf addition for a drive-thru window, and 665 sf dedicated to employee training rather than restaurant use,
located at the above address. The proposed use is compatible with all applicable provisions of the
Development Code, and therefore the existing zoning and comprehensive plan land use designation. It is also
compatible with adjacent land uses.
The drive through has been designed to hold a six car stack as required by code, and its layout does not
encumber traffic on the public streets or adjacent access drive aisles. Public safety, transportation, and the
existing utility facilities and services are currently available to serve to subject property while maintaining
sufficient levels of service to the existing development. The proposed project will not have any adverse
impacts on the natural environment.
The restaurant will operate 24 hours for the dining room and 24 hours for the drive through. The restaurant
typically will have 3 deliveries a week. There is anticipated to be 18 to 30 employees with a shift crew size of
6-10 people. Due to the reciprocal parking agreement on file with the City of Temecula parking is calculated
throughout the entire shopping center for a total of 222 stalls required. 335 parking stalls exist with no change
to any existing parking proposed as part of this development. The City of Temecula transportation department
is to verify increase in trip generation due to conversion of building from bank use to restaurant with drive-thru
use.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposed development for your review. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
