GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION
Commercial
PROPOSAL
The applicants are proposing to operate a coffee bar which will include the retail
sales of roasted coffee beans in the northerly portion of the bUPding located at 107
South First A venue. This portion of the building contains 945 square feet. The
adjacent office use contains 600 square feet.
The coffee bar will include the preparation and sales of specialty coffee. In addition,
the prepackaged snack foods will be available along with bottled waters and juices.
There will be no food preparation on the site. They are proposing seating for
approximately 30 persons. A new handicap bathroom is proposed to be constructed
and will be accessible to the public.
Business hours will be from 6:00 a;m. to 6:00 p.m. Because of the seating, this use is
considered at eating establishment.
Coffee houses (bars) have recently become very popular as a place to enjoy a cup of
coffee and relax and as a meeting place for social interaction.
. Parking
Eating establishments require 20 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor
area and offices require 4 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
Based upon these requirements, the coffee bar would require 20 parking spaces and
the office area requires 3 spaces; for a total of 23 parking spaces. There will be six
parking spaces on the site, including one handicap space. The parking behind this
building and the other buildings fronting on First between Alta and the alley are
accessed from the rear, Although there is no written agreement, the parking areas
tend to be utilized in common.
A trash enclosure is proposed at the rear of the building. This enclosure will not
interfere with any of the parking spaces.
ANALYSIS
An eating establishment is a permitted use in the C-2 zone. Normally staff does not
encourage uses which are deficient in parking, however, this is a unique type of use.
Because the applicants are proposing to provide tables with seating for persons
coming to the coffee bar and will have prepackaged food available (scones, biscuits,
.
C.U.P. 92-008
August 25, 1992
Page 2
.
.
.
.
etc.), the code defines the use as an eating establishment and has the same parking
requirements as McDonald's, Carl Jr's, etc.
There will be no food preparation on the site. In addition the types of food proposed
to be served are scones, rolls, muffins; foods that are often consumed with coffee.
There will not be any lunch or dinner type food items. Based upon this type of
service, there should not be any conflict with parking during the lunch and dinner
hour when the Cheyenne Supper Club is in operation.
It is staffs opinion the proposed use would not create a parking problem and would
be an appropriate addition to this area if the use is strictly limited to a "coffee" bar
and there are adequate conditions of approval to insure that the operation remains
consistent with this application. Although the applicants have indicated they will
be operating from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., staff would like to provide them the
flexibility of remaining open until after normal dinner hours, i.e., unti110:00 p,m.
CEOA
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 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 prepared for this project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends approval of c.u.P. 92-008 subject to the
following conditions.
1. That Fire safety shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief.
2. That seating shall be limited to a maximum of 30 persons. H the Fire
Department determines that seating shall be less, the applicants shall comply
with the Fire Department's regulations.
3. That a minimum of 6 parking spaces shall be provided including one
handicap space and the area striped in accordance with Section 9269,8.1
(hairpin striping),
4. That there shall be no food preparation on the premises and that all food
served shall be prebaked and prepackaged.

5, That no lunches or dinners shall be served and the use shall remain strictly a
coffee (tea) type bar.
6. That the coffee bar shall not remain open later than 10:00 p.m. or earlier than
6:00 a.m.
7. That the back door shall be painted.

gates.
9. That Cu.P. 92-008 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have
executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness
and acceptance of the conditions of approval.
10. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this Conditional Use
permit shall constitute grounds for the immediate suspension or revocation
of said l"ermit.
FINDINGS AND MOTIONS
Approval
. If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve 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 and direct staff
to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific findings and
conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the
Commission).
Denial
If the Planning Commission intends to take action to deny this project, the
Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate
resolution incorporating the Commission's decision' and findings in support of that
decision.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM
C.U.P.92-o08
The subject site is developed with an existing building and related parking,
The applicants are proposing to utilize the building for the retail sales of
coffee and will have seating for persons wishing to consume coffee on the
premises. In addition, prepackaged foods will be sold. There will be no lunch
or dinners served on the premises. Based upon the existing conditions of the
subject site and the proposed use, with the exception of the following two
items, the Planning Department has determined that there will be no adverse
impacts on the environment.
13 a and b
It is possible that the use could generate more traffic in the area and
could have an effect on the existing parking. The building is currently
vacant, however, based upon staffs observation, it is not anticipated
that this use will generate a significant increase in parking. The major
hours of operation will be in the morning and possibly late afternoon
or evening. There should be no conflict or impact on the parking in
the morning hours because most of the businesses are not in operation.
Late afternoon or early evening there could be increased parking needs
within the area, however, there is sufficient on-street parking to
accommodate these needs.
