 know more than five acres. The site has been previously developed and has no habitat for endangered or rare species. There's no wetlands on site. It's not a CTS habitat area. And there will be there won't be a significant traffic or noise air quality or water quality impacts. And the site can be adequately served by all same utilities, including police and fire. Next slide please. And the Planning and Economic Development Department recommends that the zoning administrator approve a minor use permit to allow the operation of a private meeting facility at 2055 Granville Road. And it's important to note that the residential units are permitted by right. It's just the private meeting facility that needs the use permit, but they're all connected since it's above the meeting facility. Next slide please. And this is my contact information for anyone here or online that would like to contact me about this project. Christine, can you see your planner? Thank you. And thank you very much for explaining the design review because usually we come through and we see them come through as one project and that makes a lot of sense. So I want to ask if the applicants here assuming that's the group. And if you have anything to add or my name is Alan Cohen. I'm an architect for the applicant and owner, Dan Bauman. And we don't really have anything to add. That was a very good presentation. Well explained. We're certainly available for any questions. Great. I'm gonna have one for you. I did do a site visit and I reviewed the findings. They were very, very well done. Thank you. And during my site visit, I saw that there were a whole lot of really nice trees along that western property line. And I wonder, I would like to condition the project. I'd like to add a condition. But you know what? Before I forgot to open up public comments. So before I go into my spiel, I'd like to see if anybody out there wants to make a comment. If you wish to make a public comment via zoom, please raise your hand. Raise your hand icon is located at the bottom of the zoom screen. If you're dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand and star six to unmute once called upon. So administrative cares. There's no hands raised at this time. And is there anybody in the room that's here to make a comment? A member of the public project? No. Now I'll go into my spiel. So I'd like to add a condition of approval that just just kind of guides you to to preserve the trees on the western property line as part of your project design. I concur with that. Yay. Oh, there's a really nice palm tree that that is pretty majestic. The site plan and I and I we made provisions for that to keep the building off and and have that serve as the buffer. So I have no problems at all including that into a restriction. Yeah, it's very unusual that we actually conditioned to save a palm, but I agree. It's a very beautiful. I have no intention for taking that. And there's also some oats that I think they should it's all along that western property line. We may even add some palms. Or some oaks. I have no problem with that. Anyways, so long as it complies with the water efficient land. So anyway, so with that, yeah, if I could just go ahead and add that and the project shall be designed to preserve heritage trees along the along the west property line. The palm tree, I hope it's preserved as well, but I won't condition the project for that. And I do hope you consider in your site design access to the back the back 40 where nothing's planned yet, but you might plan something in the future. We will. Okay. Thank you. And with that, I'm going to go ahead and approve the project. Thank you for being so thorough. Thank you. Thank you. Have a nice day. Yep. The next item is 5.2. This is another public meeting. This is for Abbey's Fun and Coin Shop. It's requires a conditional use permit and has been found to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. The project site is located at 618 Santa Rosa Avenue. And the project file is CUP 22-056. The project planner is Norbisla and Nor and people to go ahead and give us your presentation. Good morning, everyone. This is a request for a minor conditional use permit at 618 Santa Rosa Avenue for Abbey's Fun and Coin. Next slide, please. The proposed shop is a luxury pawn shop and the land use designation that it falls under is a secondhand store. They would be buying, selling and offering loans for personal goods. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5.30 and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 and they would be closed on Sundays. Next slide, please. This is where the project is located at the corner of Santa Rosa Avenue and Oak Street. Next slide, please. And here is the aerial view of the site. Next slide. The general plan land use designation is core mixed use and the zoning is core mixed use and it's also in the downtown stationary combining district as well as a historic combining district. Next slide, please. Here you can see the building where it is located. It's currently a or was a glass shop and you can see the floor plan as well. They did not show the proposed like the minor tenant improvements but in the building permit application they did. Next slide, please. Staff is able to make all the required findings for a minor conditional use permit. It meets the zoning code description of a secondhand store which is allowed in the zoning code with a minor conditional use permit. The general plan does not mention secondhand stores but that it describes a core mixed land use designation as intended to foster a vital mix of residential, retail, office, governmental, entertainment, cultural, educational and hotel uses to activate the great of courthouse square area and key transit corridors and this shop would be adding diversity to the retail uses in the area. There is no parking requirement in the downtown station area. However, the applicant has confirmed that there is parking available in the adjacent lot as well as street parking for employees and guests to use and staff has also conditioned the project to provide adequate bicycle parking. Next slide, please. This project is categorically exempt with a class one yeah class one exemption as it is a existing structure involving a negligible expansion of an existing use as I mentioned there was a glass shop and now it will still be a retail use of the same intensity. There are no unresolved issues as a result of staff review. There was public comment received I'm not sure if this is the updated version that's okay. There was a comment I received via email in support of the project and bringing such uses to the area. I did receive another voicemail from somebody who was not in support of the project and such uses in the gateway to the downtown area. Next slide, please. The forward is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator approve a minor traditional use permit to allow the operation of a second hand store as a pawn shop at 618 Santa Rosa Avenue. Next slide please. For any questions or comments this is my contact information and that concludes my presentation. Thank you. And is the applicant here? Yes. And would the applicant like to make any presentation or comments? Don't thank you nor for your presentation we don't have any additional comments. Okay great and I will disclose that I walked over with your contractor so we did chat a little bit but I didn't learn anything new about the project. Can we see if there are any public comments from outside the room? If you wish to make a public comment via zoom please raise your hand. The raise your hand icon is located at the bottom of the zoom screen. If you're dialing it via telephone please dial star nine to raise your hand and star six to unmute once called upon. The zoning administrator appears there's no hands raised at this time. Thank you very much. So I visited the site and I understand the comments that we received. I don't necessarily agree with them. I think that this is actually a fantastic place for the project. I reviewed the findings that were made on the resolution and I think they were very solid and I think the presentation was very good in delivering those findings. Thank you. I know that a lot of people want us to activate that area of the street. I don't think a pawn shop goes against that. I think that that is that's perfectly appropriate use there. So with that I don't have any conditions of approval to add. I had no problem parking in an area where there is no minimum parking when I went and did my site visit and I will be approving the project. So thank you for moving down to that area of the city and thank you for a very good presentation. And with that I am going to adjourn the meeting at 1049 on March 16th. Everybody have a safe St. Patrick's Day tomorrow.
