Old Town SPA No. 12

The City of Temecula has adopted Specific Plan Amendment No. 12 to extend the outdoor live entertainment pilot program in Old Town by one year, following a local administrative and planning process rather than a federal procurement. This action, approved by the City Council on July 22, 2025, and posted on July 24, 2025, is a regulatory amendment under the Old Town Specific Plan and does not involve the acquisition of goods or services through a competitive bidding process. The amendment is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review based on categorical exemptions, as it entails no physical changes to the environment and is deemed ministerial under state law. Formal filing of the Notice of Exemption and associated fee receipt was completed with the County of Riverside, with submissions accepted both physically and electronically via a designated county email address. There are no solicitation numbers, contract values, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses involved, as this is a local government land use decision rather than a federal contract. Point of contact for the action is Mark Collins, Senior Planner, who can be reached through the City of Temecula’s Community Development Planning Division. The extension allows the existing pilot program to continue operating in public spaces within Old Town through the following year without additional infrastructure or environmental permits.
