Temecula Korean BBQ

The City of Temecula has approved a Conditional Use Permit for the Temecula Korean BBQ restaurant located at 41925 Motor Car Parkway, Units G & H, to upgrade its alcohol sales license from an ABC Type 41 to an ABC Type 47, enabling the on-sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. This administrative action, processed under Planning Application PA25-0207, was determined to be categorically exempt from detailed environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 exemption, as the change involves no physical alterations to the facility and results in a negligible increase in traffic, noise, or land use intensity. The applicant, Gary Choi, submitted the required documentation including a Notice of Exemption and proof of payment for a local filing fee of $25 to $50, which was processed through the County of Riverside. The approval was based on compliance with local zoning regulations, existing utility access, and the minimally impactful nature of the license upgrade, which transitioned from a prior beer and wine-only operation to one permitting full alcohol service without expanding the footprint or altering the use type significantly. No federal contracting elements are present in this transaction, as the process is strictly a municipal land-use and licensing action governed by California state and local regulations. There is no solicitation number, federal contract clause, award evaluation criteria, payment office, accounting codes, or procurement contract type applicable here. The point of contact for the City is Yannin Marquez, Assistant Planner, who oversees the review and issuance of permits. Submission of documents occurred electronically through the CEQA portal to the County Clerk and Recorder’s Office in Riverside, with no formal inspection, delivery, or acceptance procedures required beyond administrative filing and compliance with CEQA procedural requirements. The entire process reflects a ministerial permitting decision rather than a competitive contract award, with no representation of small business status, UEI, CAGE codes, or federal compliance certifications included. The project timeline culminated in approval on September 17, 2025, with the Notice of Exemption submitted and posted as required under state law.
