-1-

.
.
.
.
.
with a restaurant, surrounding property is zoned M-l. and developed
with general industrial uses and single-family dwellings. The sub-
ject site has a width of approximately 160 feet with a depth of
approximately 106 feet. The building is now situated 4 feet from
the front (First Avenue) property line and 4 feet 10 inches from the
side (St. Joseph Street) property line. The M-l section of the Code
requires a front yard of 10 feet and a side yard of 5 feet. The
existing restaurant building contains approximately 5,041 square
feet and seating for approximately 140 people.
The applicant proposes to add 936 square feet to the
existing building along with an enclosed trash area of' 8 feet by
14 feet. Two hundred thirty-six square feet of the additional area
would be used for storage and as space for a cooler and 700 square
feet would be used for 14 additional seats and a waiting area.
The existing restaurant site has 25 parking spaces and
needs 50 spaces to meet Code (deficiency of 25 spaces). With the
additional 936 square feet of eating .and storage areas, 60 parking
spaces would be required to meet Code. The applicant proposes
22 spaces on-site and 21 spaces across the street, a total of 43
parking spaces which would leave a deficiency of l7 spaces.
The new addition to the south will continue the same
architectural style as the existing building. Landscaping on the
south will be upgraded and constitute approximately nine percent
of the parking lot which would provide a visual bu~fer from traffic
on First Avenue by placing a four-foot wide planter between the
parking lot and the street along with a four-foot wide planter
-2-

.
.
\
. adjacent to the south side of the new addition which should add a
softening effect. The parking lot .across the street will have an
irrigated planter five feet wide and a 12-inch berm landscaped with
two to three foot high planting in lieu of the three-foot high
block wall usually found in commercial developments.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds that:
1. The granting of a conditional use permit as herein-
after provided'will not be detrimental to the public health or
welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone
or vicinity.
2. The use applied for at the location indicated is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized.
3. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size
and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, parking., loading,
landscaping and other features required to adjust said. use with the
land and uses in the neighborhood.
4. The site abuts streets and highways adequate in
width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by
the proposed use.
5. The granting of such conditional use permit will not
adversely affect the General Plan.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, subject to
approval of the City Council, this Commission grants a .conditional
use permit for the use of said property for a restaurant upon the
following conditions:
.
.

November 27, 1973
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CHANGES IN THE ACAPULCO RESTAURANT
C.U.P. 73-13
218-230 NORTH FIRST AVENUE
HISTORY
A conditional use permit for a structural addition to the east
portion of the Acapulco' Restaurant building,for"a cooler, storage
space and trash area was approved by' the' Planning Commission on
October 9, 1973. The'applicant later 'requested that action on the
resolution not be taken, on these plans until a,second set of
drawings could be submitted'which shows'some structural additions
not included in the earlier plans.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
In addition to the 236 square feet extepsion on the east side
of the structure (approved October 9, 197.3), the .applicant now
proposes to construct' a 20 by 35 foot addition to' ,the south side
of the restaurant and rearrange a portion"'of the existing seating
to create a waiting area.
The new plan would increase the building 700 square feet in
addition to the 236 square foot addition on the east, and the
seating capacity by 14 seats, plus create' a waiting area of 7 feet
by 20 feet. The building addition 'would also remove three existing
Parking spaces and would' leave a total of '22,'parking spaces on-site.
To offset some of the existing parking aeficiency the applicant
plans to secure the use of 9,459.5 square feet of lot area at the
southwest corner of First Avenue' and St'.' Joseph' Street which is
across from the existimg restaurant.
eM.
The existing ,restaurant site' has' 25 parking"spaces and needs
50 spaces to meet' code (deficiency of 25 "spaces). With the
additional 936 square 'feet-of eating 'and storage areas, 6P,park~ng
spaces would be required to meet code'; "The applicant 'p,foposes 22
spaces on-site and 21 spaces across the street, ~ tota1~6f 43
, parking spaces which would' 1eave"a deficiency of 17 spaces.
~~~
.. . .'.

e , plicant has' also' indrcated an interest in obtaining addi-
tional ' ,arking on a lease basis;' from .the City, which'would front on
First venue and be 'adjacent to the'proposed-park1ng-area. However
no al'negotiations have been entered into.
"
The new addition to the, south will continue the'same architec-
tural"style as the existing building.
Landscaping on the south will:be upgraded "and constitute approxi-
mately 9% of the parking lot whiah~would,provide ~'visual buffer
from traffic' on"First Avenue by placing' a 4' .foot' wide planter be-
tween the parking lot and the street along ,with a '4' 'foot wide planter
adjacent" to" the south side of the new' addition which should add a
softening effect.' The parking lot a=ossthe street will have an
irrigated 'planter five ~~,et wide and 'a' 12 inch berm landscaped with
~\ 2-3 foot high planting in lieu of the 3 foot high' block wall usually
. found in conunercial' developments.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department"staff'does not beUeve'-'the added floor
area'in conjunction'.wi th . the: added 'pa:rking' spaces, and landscaping
will result in a"lessening'"of' the development previously approved
on October 9, ,:[973, and, therefore, recoll1ll\ends'approval of the
revised plan subject to all the'original conditions and the new
conditions listed below:
,
7. That prior to construction of' the structural additions,
the applicant will submit. for' the City Attorney's approval an
agreement which will provide that the parking lot will be
maintained as long as the use authorized'by this permit
is maintained. '
B. That energy saving low level lighting be provided in both
parking lots and shall be subject to the approval of the
Planning Department
