GENERAL PLAN: Commercial
HISTORY
Building Division records indicate the existing structure was con-
verted from a retail use to a restaurant in 1949, The restaurant
use at this site predates the requirement for a Conditional Use
Permit (1968), It is a legal nonconforming use and is, therefore,
able to operate without a Conditional Use Permit,
On August 8, 1977, the applicant applied for a Conditional Use Permit
to expand the existing restaurant by adding a new 486 sq, ft. kitchen,
converting the existing kitchen into a storage room and constructing
-1-
;..
C,U,P, 80-4
~ March 25, 1980
.
.
542 sq, ft, of additional dining area, which would have increased
the seating capacity by 44 persons, On October 11, 1977, the Plann-
ing Commission adopted Resolution 1012 denying the Conditional Use
Permit, based on the findings that there was not sufficient parking
and the expansion would result in increased on-street parking,
SPECIAL INFORMATION
EXISTING BUILDING & PARKING
The existing restaurant contains 3,217 sq, ft, with 13 substandard
parking spaces, (33 parking spaces are required - 61% deficiency),
The existing house at 210 East Foothill Boulevard is presently being
utilized for storage and office space for the restaurant,
Roof mounted mechanical equipment can be seen from all directions,
Concrete blocks, a wood lean-to and a canvas-like lean-to are ad-
jacent to the east side of the building, Some equipment is stored
on the south side of the building, adjacent to the alley, (See
attached photos),
The existing seating capacity is for 150 persons,
PROPOSED BUILDING & PARKING
The applicant is proposing the following:
1, Remodel the restaurant by adding 492 sq, ft, of office and
storage space to the south end of the building adjacent to
the alley,
2, Enlarging the women's restroom facility (58 sq, ft,) on the
east side of the building,
3, Extending the patio cover over the existing patio area,
4, Adding a mansard roof to the west and north building facade,
5, Remove the existing house at 210 East Foothill and develop
the property with a parking lot containing nine spaces, and
6, Improve the existing parking lot by adding some landscaping
and restriping the lot with nine spaces which comply with Code,
The proposed addition will not increase the seating capacity,
A total of 18 parking spaces would be provided; 38 parking spaces
are required based on the total square footage of 3767 sq, ft,
(53% deficiency),
The westerly parking area does not comply with the following Code
requirements:
-2-
j- "
C,U,P, 80-4
.. March 25, 1980
1, 3% of the interior parking area shall be landscaped, and
2, 5'3" landscape buffer required adjacent to the Second Avenue
property line to screen the parking area from the public right
of way,
The new easterly parking area does not comply with the 3% interior
landscaping requirement, Cars will overhang the proposed 3'6" land-
scape area adjacent to the building,
The applicant is proposing to enclose the trash bins inside the rest-
aurant on the south east side of the building,
Access to the storage room will be through the kitchen area and a
doorway located on the westerly side of the building,
The proposed addition and the existing building will be tied together
with a new facade,
.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
The site is composed of three lots, The C-2 Code requires a 20 ft,
rear yard setback behind every building, The front of the building
site is located on Foothill Boulevard, The proposed expansion will
be located adjacent to the rear lot line, There is a 16 ft, alley
between the addition and the residential properties to the south,
The Code states that where a rear yard abuts an alley such rear yard
may be measured to the center of the alley, Therefore, the building
should have a minimum 12 ft, rear yard setback from the southerly
property line,
If these three lots were consolidated, the lot would then front on
Second Avenue, There is no special side yard setback required and
the building could be constructed adjacent to the alley,
The applicant is not planning on consolidating these lots and the
Code does not require that they be consolidated because the building
does not cross lot lines,
Therefore, the Planning Commission may wish to grant a modification
for an 8 ft. rear yard setback from the center line of the alley in
lieu of 20 feet required,
.
The subject site is within the Alquist Priolo Special Studies Zone,
The proposed expansion does not require a geologic investigation
because the value of the addition does not exceed 50% of the present
market value of the structure,

C , u ,P, 80-4
March 25, 1980
The Public Works Department is requlrlng that the applicant dedicate
a 15' radius corner cutoff and that sidewalk be provided where none
presently exists,
ANALYSIS:
It is staff's opinion that the proposed expansion would upgrade the
building and would no~ increase the seating capacity of the restaurant,
The removal of the dwelling at 210 East Foothill would eliminate a non-
conforming use as well as provide additional parking for the restaurant
(5 additional spaces) and is an attempt to alleviate some of the park-
ing Problems in the neighborhood,
The proposed Mansard roof should be designed to screen the roof-mounted
mechanical equipment from view and should be extended along the east-
erly side of the building,
Prior to issuance of Building Permits, a Covenant should be recorded
ensuring that the three lots will be maintained as one,
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the
proposed project, Said initial study did not disclose any substantial
or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical con-
ditions within the area affected by the project including land, air,
water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical
or aesthetic significance, Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been
prepared for this project,
Before the Planning Commission takes action on this project, the
Commission should "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration
and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the
environment,"
