Box 711 (City Hall, 400 Grand Avenue) South San Francisco, CA File #:23-240 Agenda Date:4/6/2023 Version:1 Item #:3. Report regarding consideration of a Use Permit to allow Indoor Entertainment at 359 Grand Avenue in Grand Avenue Core Zoning District in accordance with Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC) and determination that the project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (Victoria Kim, Associate Planner) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1.Determine that the project is exempt from CEQA and make findings and approve a Use Permit (UP22-0010),based on the attached Draft Findings and subject to the attached Draft Conditions of Approval; and MOTION TO ADOPT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Move to determine the project is exempt from CEQA and approve the Use Permit subject to the attached draft Findings and draft Conditions of Approval. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Christina Ng (“applicant”)submitted an application on September 16,2022 for a Use Permit proposing Indoor Entertainment for live entertainment activities at an existing restaurant known as Grand Palace.The project site was developed with a retail store and converted into an existing restaurant in 2003.The Use Permit request is for Indoor Entertainment as an ancillary use to the existing restaurant and the project does not propose any exterior modifications. Site Overview The subject property is located at 359 Grand Avenue in Grand Avenue Core (GAC)Zoning District within a half mile radius of the Caltrain Plaza.Primary access to the site is Grand Avenue on the north and neighboring properties on the west and east are retail stores and restaurants.Residential buildings are situated to the south and the project building is facing the City’s Economic Advancement Center in the north.The project has a 7,893 square foot one story restaurant building with a mezzanine which is a third of the 1st floor area without any on-site parking spaces. Proposed Project In the past,the applicant has applied for and received several Special Event Permits to hold events with live entertainment activities at the restaurant.The City’s Zoning Ordinance prescribes a Use Permit for Indoor Entertainment on an ongoing basis in the GAC Zoning District,and the applicant requests the Use Permit to achieve financial viability instead of applying for multiple Special Event Permits.The project scope would not include any expansion of the building footprint nor increase the number of current occupancies. City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/31/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™41 File #:23-240 Agenda Date:4/6/2023 Version:1 Item #:3. Operation Plan The applicant’s operation plan narrates the proposed indoor entertainment use would be operated between 5:00 pm to 9:30 pm,typically on the weekend and always within the restaurant business hours (Ref.Attachment 4). The maximum number of employees would be 20 to 25 and approximately 100 and no more than 200 customers would be expected.The live entertainment activities would be incidental to the existing restaurant and would primarily be for work events,social gatherings,birthday parties,and wedding banquets.There would be no change of the exterior conditions and parking arrangement would be the same as current. ZONING CONSISTENCY Land Use The project site is in Grand Avenue Core (GAC)Zoning District which is one of downtown station areas. According to Zoning Ordinance,GAC Zoning District has an active commercial street frontage with residential uses in the historic areas.Pursuant to SSFMC Section 20.100.002,a wide range of residential,commercial,and public uses are allowed or with the approval of a Minor or a Use Permit.A Use Permit is required to have Indoor Entertainment uses in GAC Zoning District after review and approval of the entitlement process. Parking Project site was initially developed with zero on-site parking space in the Downtown Area.Due to the parking constraint on site,restaurant visitors with vehicles use the public parking structure on Miller Avenue.As described in the applicant’s response letter (Ref.Attachment 4),the proposed project would be operated in the current restaurant business plan and occasional live entertainment events would be held during evening hours and are not expected to create an overflow in parking demand.The restaurant provides parking information on their website and menu brochures (Ref.Attachment 4).Also,the subject property is within a half mile from the Caltrain station, and a public bus stop is located within 0.04 mile from the restaurant. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The project site is designated as Grand Avenue Core consistent with the City’s General Plan.Grand Avenue Core is the historic retail center of the city with mixed use buildings.The Indoor Entertainment at the restaurant is a commercial use and the proposed live entertainment activities would provide opportunities in the downtown to hold personal and work events. Policy LU-2.5: Encourage shared parking in neighborhoods. Encourage shared parking and park once strategies to minimize parking demand and reduce vehicle trips. Locate parking behind commercial buildings. Policy LU-7.1: Promote complete neighborhoods. Promote new commercial uses and revitalize existing commercial areas in locations that provide convenient access to a range of goods and services. GOAL SA-1:The City supports existing neighborhood commerce and provides opportunities to expand commercial Downtown. Policy SA-3.3: Balance parking needs and impacts Downtown. Balance the need for parking to support a thriving Downtown with the need to minimize the impacts of parking upon a vibrant pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-oriented neighborhood.

DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN Based on a community-based goal in the downtown area,the project premises is located within a half mile radius of the Caltrain Station.The proposed scope is in compliance with the plan’s vision elements such as protecting Grand Avenue scale and character,enhancing the unique Downtown atmosphere,and creating an attractive and vibrant pedestrian environment. Guiding Principle 3:Preserve and enhance the character of existing downtown neighborhoods while continuing to encourage modest intensifications of use as currently allowed. Guiding Principle 9:Require pedestrian-oriented ground level retail and service uses on Grand Avenue and in the neighborhood center on Linden between California and Juniper Avenues.Encourage ground level retail in other areas, especially in the Downtown Transit Core. Guiding Principle 15:Ensure that adequate on-street and off-street parking remains on Grand Avenue and adjoining streets to support existing and future retail uses in the Downtown. P-7:Modify the parking code to encourage developments within the plan area to provide shared parking when a mix of uses is provided on site or where sharing between properties is feasible. P-10:In the short-term,update the zoning code to reduce parking requirements within the Downtown Parking District and set parking maximums for all uses within the plan area.As development occurs and transit service improves,expand reduced requirements to parcels outside of the Downtown Parking District.In the long-term, eliminate parking minimums for the entire plan area.
