GENERAL INFORMA nON APPLICANTS: Daniel Doolittle and Mary Owen LOCATION: 206 S. First Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a 1,900 sq. ft. delicatessen with indoor seating for 20 people at 5 tables, and outdoor seating for 16 people at 4 tables at an existing retail buildiIig. . SITE AREA: 6,075 sq. ft. (0.14 acre) FRONTAGE: 45 feet along S. First A venue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is improved with a 3,650 sq. ft. retail building with 5 parking spaces behind the building. Tenant improvements are being constrUcted at the subject address for a take~u1 delicatessen.. The other unit is an office. The property is zoned CBD - Central Business District. . . . . .' GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Mixed Use - CommerciallMultiple Family SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONlNG: North: South: East: West: , . . , Retail - zoned CBD Retail and offices :- zoned CBD Multiple familyiesidential- zoned R-3 Retail - zoned CBD PROPOSAT, & ANALYSTS The appliCants are in the process of constructing tenant improvements for a take-out delicatessen and want to have indoor seating for 20 people and outdoor seating for 16 people. The operating'hours will be Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.ro. .' .' The proposed outdoor seating is partially on the public sidewalk. A Sidewalk Dining Permit will be necessary for any seating within the public.right-of"way. The outdoor dining that is on private property is included in this . Conditional Use Permit, aJ}d l!- separate outdoor dining permit is not necessary. The arrangement of any outdoor Seating; whether on public or private property, will be in accordance with the City's outdoor dining regulations. Parking There are :live (5) existing parking spaces behind the subject building. Staff anticipates that these will be used by the tenants and employees of the delicatessen and office use, and that the customers of the delicatessen will either utilize street parl<ing. or will v.'lIlk from their places of business. The applicants anticipate that the delivery service they intend to provide will account for a significant amount of their business. :: In the CBD zone, a change in use or occupancy of an existing building is eligible to utilize the shared-use parking standar~ In this case, the former tenant was a golf shop. Therefore, the proposed 1,900 sq. fL delicatessen with indoor Se"",;ng requires :five (5) parking spaces per 1,000 gross sq. fL (3.61 spaces) and the existing 1,750 sq. fL office use requires three (3) spaces per J,OOO gross sq. fL (3.06 spaces) for a requirement at this property of seven (7) parking spaces. Parking is not required to be provided for the outdoor dining area Based on the shared-use parking standards for the CBD zone, there is a two (2) parking space deficiency for the proposed indoor Sl'",;ng. Staffs opinion is that the parking deficiency is insignificant, and that the proposed use is the type of pedestrian oriented activity that is being encouraged in this area A shared-use parking agreement must be signed and recorded by the property owner. CUP 97-0]) October 2&, 1997 Page 2 .. . Trash Enclosure At present, a single trash bin is being Pl'l?vided for this property. It is located in a marked space immediately adjacent to.the rear of the building. It is J:lot in an enclosure. Staffs opinion is that a single trash bin'is iruic!equate fl?r a food service business, and that the lack of an enclosure could ~ult in an unsightly accumulation of trash and recy~lables, - - Staff reco=ends that a masonry enclo.Sure with solid metal gates be provided against tIie rear of the building to the north of the back door. It appears that a six (6) foot by nine (9) foot enclosure will fit at that location. The enclosure should be large enough to contain the trash bin and provide space for storing recyclables, There is no l.andscaping. in the rear p~king. area, nor is there any room for landscaping. Compliance with the block wall and five (5) foot wide landscape buffer along the adjacent res~dentially zoned property would result in the loss of a parking space. Staffs opinion is that the existing situation, with the exception of providing a trash enclosure, is the most effective . . use of the rear parking area. CEQA . 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 potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, tIora. 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 prepared for this project. RECOMMENDA nON The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 97-011 subject to the following conditions: 1. The delicatessen lUId the site shall be maintained in a manner that is consistent 'with the plans submitted and approved for CUP 97-011. and shall include 2.

[] 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.
