Site Location: 2523 Eastbluff Drive
Recommendation
Project Summary
A request for a Minor Use Permit (MUP) to operate a "Take Out Service, Fast Casual" eating and drinking establishment (Starbucks) within an existing shopping center. The applicant proposes a minor tenant improvement to an existing 1,601 square foot suite and will expand Starbucks branded outdoor seating into what is currently a 607 square foot common outdoor seating area for a maximum of 20 total seats. The proposed hours of operation are from 4:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. midnight, daily, and no alcohol service is proposed. An MUP is required as the project proposes late hours and is within 500 feet of residential uses. If approved and implemented, Use Permit No. UP3651 would be superseded.
