Kasama, Associate Planner SUBffiCT: Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98-008 A proposed 740 sq. ft. coffee shop at 148E. Duarte Road SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Monica McManus to operate a 740 sq. ft. coffee shop (dba: Be Be Cafe) with sealing for 16 people, within the existing shopping center at 140-160E. Duarte Road. The Development Services Department is recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in this report. . GENERAL INFORMATION APPUCANT: Monica McManus LOCATION: 148 E. Duarte Road REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit and parking modification for a 740 sq. ft. coffee shop (dba: Be Be Cafe) with !lel'til18 for a maximum of 16 people. The daily hours of operation will be 11 :00 am. to 9:00 p.rn. SITE AREA: 88,800 sq. ft. (2.04 acres) FRONTAGES: J99.21 feet along E. Duarte Road and 100 feet along S. Second Avenue GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial . EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is improved with J2,760 sq. ft. of commercial space with 105 parking spaces. The property is zoned C-l: Limited Commercial. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Mixed commercial - zoned C-2 South: Single-family residentia\- zoned R-l East: Bank - zoned C-l West: Legal-nonconforming fast food - zoned R-l . BACKGROUND The subject shopping center was built in 1966 with 112 parking spaces and.was origina1ly anchored by an Alpha Beta grocery store. The current 105 parking spaces results from prior parking modifications and re-striping fOr handicapped spaces. Under current requirements there should be 194 on-site parking spaces for a retail center of this size and tenant mix. However, the shopping center is considered legal-conforming with its current 105 on-site parking spaces (3.21 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.). PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing a 740 sq. ft. coffee shop within the existing shopping center with BeAting for a maximum of 16 people. The daily hours of operation will be 11:00 am. to 9;00 p.m. The applicant has indicated that the coffee shop will also serve light snscks. . Parking Coffee shops require 20 parking spaces per 1,000 gross square feet which results in a parking requirement of 15 spaces for this proposal. Based on the 105 existing parking spaces, only 2.J8 parking spaces can be a110tted to the subject commercial space. . Based on current parking requirements for each of the individual uses in the shopping center, including the proposed coffee shop, there should be a total of 205 on-site parking spaces. Therefore, there is an overa\1 deficiency of 100 spaces. The proposed mix of uses, their current parking requirements, and the deficiencies are shown in the following table: ProDOSed Mix mUses and Current ParkiDlf Reauirements Approx.

With the proposed coffee shop, aU of the ancillary commercial spaces will be occupied. The anchor retail space (approx. 21,000 sq. ft.) has been vacant for a long time, but may soon be occupied by a 99t Only Store (tenant improvement plans are in plan check). . ~ A review of the current parking situation by staff indicates that there is presently not a parking problem at this shopping center. Staff's observations concur with the following parking counts provided by the applicant: Number ofOccuoied Parkin!! Soaces Time Mon. Tue Wed Thu. Fri. Sat. Sun.

However, observations at the current 99t Only Store seem to indicate that the current parking vacancy of 60+ spaces should be adequate for the anticipated tenant mix. The limited amount of S('~ting. and the specific type of service indicated by the applicant's proposal (coffee shop with light snscks) should prevent this proposal from creating a parking problem. A coffee shop should be a good complement to the existing tenant mix. CEOA Pursuant to the provisions of the California 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 potentia11y substantia1 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 siglliflcance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence tha~ 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 prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION . The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98-008 subject to thefollowing conditions: 1.

File No.: CUP 98.008 DETERMINA nON (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: [x] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [] I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case becalise the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project, A 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 fmd that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards .and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attsched sheets, and if any remaining effect is a ''Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated," an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. [] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because .all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report pursuant to applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
