Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. On January 5, 2016, Nicole Mosier filed Planning Application No. PA16- 0006 a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity 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 February 3, 2016, 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. PA16-0006, 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: Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity, Development Code Section 17.10.020: A. Whether or not the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code; As proposed, The Paint Barrel would operate as an art studio. The proposed use is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan and Temecula Regional Center Specific Center which specifies that the Mixed Use designation includes art studios serving the entire community. The sale of beer and wine would serve as an incidental use to the establishment operations. B. Whether or not the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and character of adjacent land uses; The Paint Barrel is proposed within an existing shopping center on a developed lot within the Mixed Use zone of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. As conditioned, the proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed conditional uses will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures. C. Whether or not the proposed use would have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses; The Paint Barrel is proposed within an existing shopping center on a developed lot within the Mixed Use zone of the Temecula Regional Center Specific Plan. 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. D. Whether or not the proposed use would result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity; The Paint Barrel is located in a Census Tract which ABC considers "over- concentrated" with on-sale licenses. Per ABC, five on-sale licenses are allowed in this tract, and sixty currently exist. Therefore, a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity is required for The Paint Barrel to be the sixty first establishment with an on-sale ABC License. The high over concentration of on-sale licenses within the census tract is due to the number of restaurants within this area of the City of Temecula in and around the Temecula Promenade Mall, Temecula Towne Center, and Tower Plaza. A license for The Paint Barrel in the census tract for a Type 42 (on-sale beer and wine) would not result in an excessive number of similar establishments because; according to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control it would be the only Type 42 license within the census tract whereas restaurants operate under a Type 47 (on-sale general) license. Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval of the Public Convenience or Necessity: 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 , Existing Facilities); The request for a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for The Paint Barrel will operate in an existing building suite in a developed retail shopping center. No site expansion is proposed for the use. Conditions of Approval have been implemented to ensure the project does not cause adverse impacts to the surrounding area Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula approves Planning Application No. PA16-0006, subject to the Findings for Public Convenience or Necessity with no conditions of approval. No other application is required. Section 5.
