Summary:
A request for a conditional use permit to establish a new 2,155-square-foot café style restaurant by remodeling and expanding a vacant restaurant space within Suite B into the adjacent vacant office space within Suite A. While a specific tenant has not yet been identified, the request includes the allowance for alcohol service through a Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine - Eating Place) California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) License and operating hours from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily. No live entertainment, dancing, or late-hour operations (i.e., after 11 p.m.) are proposed. Also included in the request is a 16-space parking waiver to accommodate the expanded restaurant. Approval of the project will supersede Use Permit Nos. UP1848 and UP2006A.
Recommended Actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2025-022 approving the Conditional Use Permit filed as PA2024-0198.
