GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:

BACKGROUND
The subject retail building was developed in 1986 along with the reconstruction of
the service station, which was approved by CUP 86-002. There are supposed to be '
27 on-site parking spaces (18 for the retail building & 9 for the service station) and
one loading zone.
In 1989 CUP 89-003 was approved to add seating for 6 people to a 525 square foot
ice cream and frozen yogurt Shop in Unit-B. That space has since been occupied by
a retail medical supply shop, and is currently vacant.
. SPECIAL INFORMATION
.
This retail center and s~rvice station are currently the subject of a property
maintenance case, and the service station is in violation of its Conditional Use
Permit (CUP 86-002). The property owner has been notified of the following
violations, and is in the process of correcting them. The crossed out items have
been taken of:
1. Improperly maintained landscaping visible from the streets and adjacent
properties, including overgrown vegetation, lack of ground cover, trees and
shrubbery in need of pruning, which results in conditions out of harmony or
9Qnformity with the mainteAance standards of adjacent properties (AMC Secs.
9402.3.4, 9402.3.5 & 9405.9)
.
2. Lumber, jumk, trash and other debris in the west side yard that is unsightly, likely
to harbor rats or vermin and may constitute a fire, health or safety hazard (AMC
Sec. 9405.8)
3. Trash enclosures in disrepair and being used to store material other than trash
and recyclables (AMC Secs. 9405.12, 9263.6.6 & 9263.66.1)
4. Parking lot in need of re-striping (AMC Secs. 9269.8.1 & 9263.3.1)

The sale of gasoline is supposed to be the primary use at the service station and the
auto~otive repair is to be an incidental service. Due to pollution prevention
legislation that requires the upgrading of the gasoline storage tanks and pumps, this
gas station has not been able to sell gasoline for several months. The service
station was put up for sale, and through the escrow process the upgrading of the
tanks was completed at the beginning of this summer. The sale of the service
station was completed last month, and the new owners are remodeling the interior.
Exterior changes have been discussed, but no plans have been submitted. The
service station should re-open later this month.
.
As conditions of approval of this Application No. CUP 00-012, all of the above
property maintenance violations must be rectified, and the sale of gasoline must
recommence prior to the occupancy of the proposed donut shop.
PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a 980 square foot donut shop with seating for 10 people.
The hours of operation will be 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The on-site dining facilities
qualify this use as an eating establishment, which requires a Conditional Use Permit
and a parking modification.
Parkina
The subject retail building conforms to the parking requirement of 5 spaces per
1,000 gross square feet. A donut shop with take-out sales only is considered a retail
use and would be allowed by right. However, a donut shop with on-site dining
facilities is considered an eating establishment and requires 20 parking spaces per
1,000 gross square feet. The result is a parking requirement of 20 spaces for this
cloilut shop; rathElr than the original 5 parking spaces allotted for the SUbject retail
space. There would be a deficiency of 15 parking spaces.
.
CUP 00-012
September 12, 2000
Page 3 of 7
-
.
.
There are 31 parking spaces shown on the submitted site plan, but space nos. 28 to
31 would not comply with Code. For a 3,600 square foot retail building there should
be a total of 18 on-site parking spaces and one loading zone. CUP 86-002, which
was granted for the development of this retail building and the reconstruction of the
service station, approved a total of 27 parking spaces (18 for the retail building and
9 for the service station) and one loading zone. Based on the requirement of 15
additional spaces for the proposed donut shop, there should be a total of 42 parking
spaces. Therefore, a modification of 27 parking spaces in lieu of 42 spaces is
. required.
The subject retail building and the service station share the on-site parking.' Unit-A
for the proposed donut shop, and the adjacent 530 square foot Unit-B are currently
vacant. Activity at the service station has been minimal due to the inability to sell
gasoline and the. pending sale of the business. Therefore, there is an abundance of
parking available.
Until recently, the taxi company that occupies Unit"F was using many of the parking
spaces to store taxi cabs, and tRe former owners of the service station were also
illegally operating a U-Haul rental business and parking rental vehicles on-site. The
U-Haul business has been removed, and the taxi company has secured an off-site
storage facility. .
A review of the current parking situation by staff indicates that there is not a parking
problem at this retail center. The applicant provided the following parking survey for
the week of Friday, June 30th through Thursday, July 6th:

The limited amouRt of seating and the specific type of business (i.e., a donut shop
with seating for a maximum of 10 people) that is requested by this application should
prevent this proposal from creating a parking problem. Their busiest time should be
the morning, and this will not conflict with the other businesses in the center. If the

.
donut shop were to be some other type of eating establishment. with a different peak
period, more of the parking might be needed.
Based on staffs observations, It does not appear that a 980 square foot donut shop
with seating for a maximum of 10 people would result in a parking problem at this
center. A donut shop should be a good complement to the other businesses in this
center and for the general area.
CeQA
Pursuant to the prOVIsions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services 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 conditions within the area affected by the
project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there
is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been drafted for this project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use
Permit No. CUP 00-012 subject to the following conditions:
1. The use approved by CUP 00-012 is limited to a donut shop with seating for a
maximum of 10 people that shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is

2. All City requirements regarding accessibility, fire protection, occupancy, safety,
site design, and water service are to be determined through plan check and

in the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a 'potentially significant impact" or
'potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal,standards, and 2) has. been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
[] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been
analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant
to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
