The proposed conditional use is consistent with the general plan and the development code. AMC 10 Temecula will operate a 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 Community Commercial (CC) 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 cinema and restaurant 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. The business operates within an existing building. 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 City 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 or City Council 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 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 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.

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); 1. The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Type 47 (On-Sale General for a Bona Fide Public Eating Place) at AMC Temecula 10 will be conducted in an existing building and involves a negligible expansion of the existing and expected uses.
