FRONT STREET (APN 921-070-019)
Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of
Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. On December 4, 2017, Steven Love, filed Planning Application No. PA17-
1684 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 Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on March 21, 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 Planning Commission hearing and after due
consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission approved Planning Application
No. PA17-1684 subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
E. 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
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;
Penfold's Cafe operates as a full-service restaurant with the primary purpose of
offering a full menu of food within an existing building. The proposed conditional
use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, which specifies
Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) for this site, and conditionally allows
restaurants to operate with a Type 47 (On-Sale General for a Bona Fide Public
Eating Place). The sale of distilled spirits would serve as an incidental use to the
establishment's operations.
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.
Penfold's Cafe operates within an existing building within the Old Town Specific
Plan area. As conditioned, the proposed conditional use for a Type 47 (On-Sale
General for a Bona Fide Public Eating Place) 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
establishments. 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.
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 the Development Code and
required by the planning commission or council in order to integrate the use with other
uses in the neighborhood.
The existing building was constructed in conformance with the Building Code,
and Fire Code. Therefore, the site for the 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 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 meets all the requirements of the Old Town Specific Plan,
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.
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 director of community development, 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 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 request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Type 47 (On-Sale General for a
Bona Fide Public Eating Place) at Penfold's Cafe will be conducted in an existing
building and involves a negligible expansion of the existing and expected uses.
All access to 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 Old Town Specific Plan and Development Code.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA17-1684, a Minor Conditional Use Permit to allow
Penfolds Cafe to upgrade their existing Type 41 License to a Type 47. The project is
located at 28250 Old Town Front Street, subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth
on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 5. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City of Temecula
