SUBJECT: Design Review and Residential Planned Unit Development
Modification allowing a 600 square foot first story addition at the rear of
an existing single-family dwelling located at 132 James Court in the
Single-Family Residential Planned Unit Development (R-1-E-P) Zoning
District in accordance with South San Francisco Municipal Code
(SSFMC) Chapters 20.16, 20.78, 20.84 and 20.85.
Owner and Applicant: Steven H. Wong
Case Nos.: P08-0013 [PUDM08-0002 & DR08-0005]
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve PUDM08-0013 and DR08-0005 based on the
attached Findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The project site is located in a Planned Unit Development (PUD) known as Hillside Estates. The
Hillside Estates PUD was approved in 1980, and has a total of 41 single-family units. In
accordance with SSFMC Chapter 20.84, a modification of the PUD is required for any addition
that exceeds 10% of existing gross floor area.
The subject site is 7,936 square feet and contains atwo-story, four bedroom single-family
dwelling with 1,839 square feet of living area. The proposed 600 square foot first story addition
is proposed off of the rear of the existing house. The addition will provide area for a
handicapped-accessible kitchen remodel and a new accessible bedroom and bathroom. A wall
between two existing upstairs bedrooms will be removed to create one new master bedroom, so
the resulting house will continue to have four bedrooms. The proposed total floor area for the
house is 2,439 square feet and parking for two vehicles is provided in a two car garage.
132 James Court is located at the end of a cul-de-sac. The site shares front and side property
lines with other properties in the same PUD zoned for single-family development. The rear
property line abuts Chestnut Avenue.
The project site's General Plan land use designation, Low Density Residential, allows single-

family dwellings. The project complies with the General Plan goals and policies.
The present Low Density Residential (R-1-E-P) zoning allows the proposed addition, subject to
the Planning Commission approval of a Modification to the Residential Planned Unit
Development. The proposed development complies with the City's minimum development
standards as displayed in the following table:
Development Standards

new addition)
Rear Setback 20 ft. (min.) 49.29 ft. 34.29 ft.
The proposed development meets all the City development standards including parking, lot
coverage, setbacks, and height.
The lots and dwellings in the immediate vicinity of 132 James Court are of similar size and
development intensity. The proposed 600 square foot addition complies with existing pattern of
development.
The proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.37 is well below the General Plan standard of 0.5 for
a low density area.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The project was reviewed by the Design Review Board at its meeting of March 18, 2008. At the
meeting the Board determined that the scale of the first story addition of 600 square feet was in
keeping with the City's Design Guidelines and with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood. The Board recommended an increase to the slope of the roof of the addition,
including resizing the upstairs bedroom windows, and using composition shingles to better
integrate the addition to the existing house. A change to the window in the new bathroom was
also recommended. All of these changes have been successfully incorporated into the plans. The
change to the roof design and the resulting changes to the upstairs bedroom windows resulted in
Date: June 5, 2008
To: Planning Commission
Subject: P08-0013
132 James Court
Page 3 of 3
a requirement to add two new windows in the upstairs bedrooms to provide for emergency
egress.
Other proposed exterior changes include replacing all the existing windows to match the new
ones and adding a new deck at grade at the rear of the addition. A previous design proposed
cutting into the rear slope to construct the new deck, but the current design does not impact the
slope.
The Design Review Board recommended that the Planning Commission approve the
development.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A neighborhood meeting was conducted on Tuesday May 20, 2008. Notices were sent to
property owners and residents within 500 feet of the subject property. The meeting was held
from 5:30 to 6:30 PM and no neighbors attended. The applicant and Maureen Morton of the
City's Planning Division staff were present.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City staff determined that the proposed development is Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15301(e),
Minor Additions to an Existing Structure. Because the project has been determined to be exempt,
the Planning Commission need take no further action regarding the environmental review.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION:
The construction of a 600 square foot addition to the existing single family dwelling is consistent
with the City's General Plan, with all applicable requirements of the City's Zoning (SSFMC Title
20) and is compatible with the surrounding residences. Tt is therefore recommended that the
Planning Commission approve P08-0013, including modification of the PUD and approval of the
design, based on the attached draft Findings and subject to the attached draft Conditions of
Approval.

(As recommended by City Staff on June S, 2008)
As required by the Planned Unit Development Procedures [SSFMC Chapter 20.84], the
following findings are made in approval of a Modification of a Residential Planned Unit
Development, allowing a 600 square foot addition to an existing single-family dwelling at 132
James Court in the R-1-E-P zone, based on public testimony and the materials submitted to the
City of South San Francisco Planning Commission which include, but are not limited to: Plans
prepared by Dominguez Associates, dated/revised 4/23/08; Design Review Board meeting and
minutes of March 18, 2008; Planning Commission staff report of June 5, 2008; and Planning
Commission meeting of June 5, 2008:
The subject site is physically suitable for the 600 square foot addition to the
existing single-family dwelling. The dwelling with the addition is similar in style
to existing adjacent dwellings and has a similar floor area ratio. The City's
Design Review Board recommended approval of the proposed single-family
dwelling addition. Conditions of approval require that the development conform
to the City's development standards.
2. The 600 square foot addition to the existing single-family dwelling was reviewed
and recommended for approval by the City's Design Review Board to be in
accordance with the City of South San Francisco Design Guidelines and to
provide a high quality of consistency with the existing neighborhood. The
dwelling with the addition shares a similar floor area ratio as the existing adjacent
dwellings and will be in conformity with the adjacent residences. The addition
will reinforce a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability by
matching the development quality and design and providing needed handicapped
accessibility.
3. The project complies with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element
designation of the site of Low Density Residential and the Housing Element that
encourages the development of housing to meet the City's fair share housing need.
The proposed 600 square foot addition to an existing single-family dwelling will
not be adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare of the community, or
unreasonably detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The
development is designed to comply with the City design guidelines and the
architectural theme of the surrounding residential enclave. Conditions of approval
are attached which will ensure that the development complies with local
development standards and requirements.

Large day care facilities accommodating up to as many as 14 children are allowed uses in an (R-
1-E) Single Family Residential Zone District, subject to meeting the requirements contained in
Section 20.11.060. Because the proposed facility is within 500 feet of another large family day
care facility at 917 Gibbs Way (licensed for up to 14 children situated Z00 feet from 848 Kipling
Avenue on the same block), Section 20.11.060 (g) requires an approved Use Permit by the
Planning Commission.
The site and buildings generally comply with current City development standards as displayed in
the following table:

The SSFMC Section 20.11.060 requires that the facility provide a passenger loading area and
sufficient parking for all employees. The paved driveway is sufficiently wide that it can
accommodate two spaces adequate for meeting the staff parking and passenger loading
requirements. The on-street curbside area can accommodate 2 additional parking spaces for
dropping off children at the facility. While the applicant does not expect any parking conflicts,
should conflicts occur she is willing to adjust the drop-off hours and sign-in process.
The hours of operation, detailed in the applicant's narrative, and the availability of on-street
parking in the vicinity of the project, should result in little or no conflicts with neighboring
residents. The requirement for a one year review will provide greater assurance that any parking
conflicts can be addressed in a timely manner.
If parking congestion does occur the applicant can also institute a curbside staff sign-in that will
eliminate the need for parents walking their children from the parked vehicles into the facility.
These procedures should also speed up the sign-in process resulting in a faster curbside vehicle
turnover. A condition of approval has been added that will require on on-site loading area and a
one year review. A neighborhood meeting is being conducted the week of May 30. The results of
the meeting will be reported to the Planning Commission at their meeting.
A portion of the existing 4 foot tall wood fence and gate along Kipling Avenue is located in the
minimum required 15 foot setback. Fences over 3 feet in height maybe allowed within a
minimum required front street setback with a Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission
[SSFMC Section 20.73.020 (d)(1)J. The City engineering and planning staff have conducted a
field review and determined that the fence does not represent asight-line obstruction, and
because it is a rolling gate parallel to Kipling Avenue it will not obstruct the sidewalk. To ensure
that vehicles do not block the sidewalk, staff recommends that the gate be left open during drop-
off and pick-up hours. The applicant will also need to obtain an Encroachment Permit from the
engineering division to allow the fence and gate within the public right-of--way.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The project was not reviewed by the Design Review Board since no exterior improvements are
proposed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA), City
staff has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the provisions
of Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities. Because the project has been determined to be
exempt, the Planning Commission need take no action regarding the environmental review.

portion of the 15 foot front setback and the public right-of--way will not be adverse to
the public health, safety or general welfare of the community, or detrimental to
surrounding properties or improvements. The facility has operated for several years as
a small day care operation with no complaints received by city staff from adjacent
neighbors. The well maintained site helps reinforce the visual quality of the existing
surrounding residential neighborhood. A loading area and parking for staff will be
provided. The location of the facility within 500 feet of another large family day care
on Gibbs Way is sufficiently separated from the other facility so that it will not
adversely affect the character of the residential area and will provide a unique
language immersion program not generally available in the community or offered at
other day care facilities. The 4 foot tall fence and gate do not obstruct the driver sight-
line Conditions of approval are required which will ensure that the use of the site
complies city requirements and that drop-off and pick-up will not adversely affected
the area.

To the attention of the Planning Commission, April 21, 2008
This letter has the purpose to explain the practical way in which the home family daycare,
located at 848 Kipling Ave. operates and why I am requesting a use permit.
Because a neighbor on Gibbs way, within 500 ft. holds a large family daycare license,
I'm requesting a use permit to obtain a large family daycare license for 12 children
instead of 8. I expect I would not have more than 10 children in care at one time, but I
still need to obtain a capacity change license through community care licensing. Some
children attend only two days a week, and increasing the capacity would allow them to
"make-up" days after they've been out ill. Having additional children will also help cover
the cost of running a quality program. For the past five years, I've operated the business
with the help of a "live-scanned" assistant, although not required by law for a capacity of
eight. The daycare is unusual in that it's only open Tues.-Fri. from 9:15-2:00 and closed
some of July, all of August, some of September and an additional 4 weeks for winter and
spring breaks. I've offered to watch some children until 4:00 recently after my husband
was laid off.
Regarding arrival and pick-up: As a qualified preschool teacher, I offer a rich,
educational experience, which has attracted families who are willing to commute from
farther away, thus resulting in staggered arrival times. It has yet to happen that all
families arrive at the same time. Several children are picked up earlier due to lessons or
parents wishing the children to nap at home. Having stated that, there are two full sized
drop-off spots in the driveway, which could also serve as one turn around spot. There is
23 feet of drop-off space between our driveway collar and our neighbors, and almost the
same amount between the other collar and the corner of our property in front of our front
lawn. If drop-off traffic congestion is a concern for the commission, I'm happy to provide
a teacher who could conduct a sidewalk drop off service in order to respond to that
concern and alleviate any parking issues. Again, the goal is to add only two children per
day than the current capacity. Since several families bring siblings and/or ride-share, it
results in less cars than the number of children each day.
As far as concerns for neighbors, there have never been complaints from any surrounding
neighbors. The fact that daycare opens and closes before and after conventional work
hours, some neighbors passing by our home in the evening with whom I've chatted
commented that they didn't even know there was a daycare held here after I've
mentioned it.
Thank you for taking the time and attention to consider this request and please don't
hesitate to contact me if there are any concerns.
Very sincerely,
-Rosanna sen-Donio

We are aware that our neighbors at 848 Kipling Ave. have run a
small family daycare for the past several years. They advised us that
they are in the process of requesting a use permit to expand their
capacity to accommodate a few more children. This letter is to
confirm that we support this endeavor. Moreover, we would also like
to verify that the family daycare hours does not create any concerns,
is not disruptive and does not create major parking concerns.
If you would like to clarify anything or if you require
additional information please do not hesitate to contact us.

I am writing on behalf of Rossanna Donio and her preschool. Our family has
been with her for over two years. Both of my girls have been enrolled in her
program, which consists of play, singing, art, gardening and socialization, for
example. We have never had a complaint and appreciate her excellent
communication with parents and children. Both my husband and I are
educators and have no hesitations in recommending Rossanna s program.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at the above
phone number.
To Whom It May Concern: Apri121, 2008
My name is Annette Doherty. I am a mother of two and an physical therapist. My
husband Patrick is a firefighter serving the city of San Francisco.
For the past five years my children have attended the family daycare located at 848
Kipling Ave. in So. San Francisco. Our family has been very pleased with the quality of
care and education our children have received there and have highly recommended it to
other families.
Because the caregiver, Rossanna, has informed us she is applying for a use permit to
accommodate two more children into the program, we wanted to make a statement that
we are happy with the program, and have never experienced any problems in the way of
parking, pick-up and/or drop-off. Others, as ourselves, sometimes ride-share with other
families. We haven't noticed any concerns in the area of parking or safety issues.
Please accept this letter as a support for the use permit application and know that in this
time when quality childcare is so hard to come by, there is a really beneficial program for
young ones at 848 Kipling Ave. for which we are very grateful.
Sincerely,
-Annette Doherty

SUBJECT: Use Permit and Design Review allowing a production bakery (food
preparation facility) in an existing two tenant industrial building with 24-
hour daily operation, the overnight outdoor storage of 6 vans, an outdoor
utility yard, and generating in excess of 100 average daily vehicle trips,
situated at 320 Shaw Road Unit #B (APN 015-164-200), in the Industrial
(M-1) Zone District, in accordance with SSFMC Sections 20.30.030(c),
20.30.040(a), 20.30.040 (b) and 20.30.040(1), and Chapters 20.81 & 20.85.
Owner: Todd Magline
Applicant: Thomas Lefort
Case No.: P07-0129 [UP 07-0023 & DR07-0077]
Env. Doc.: Categorical Exemption Section 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve a Use Permit and Design Review allowing a
production bakery (food preparation facility) in an existing two tenant industrial building
with 24-hour daily operation, the overnight outdoor storage of 6 vans, an outdoor utility
yard, and generating over 100 average daily vehicle trips, situated at 320 Shaw Road Unit
#B, subject to making the findings of approval and adopting the conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The 3.18 acre site is developed with a 67,320 square foot one-story two tenant building,
constructed in the 1950's. The main driveway is shared with the multi-tenant industrial building
at 310 Shaw Road. Historically, the site was developed as a single lot and later the rear lot area
was split off to form 310 Shaw Road. Both multi-tenant buildings have been used for a range of
industrial uses.
The new production bakery would occupy Unit #B and contain 39,615 square feet of floor area.
The proposed project includes interior improvements including the construction of a bakery
production area and a reduced office area of 2,850 square feet. The bakery will employee up to
up to a maximum of 50 persons and run three shifts. Deliveries will be made daily with 6 panel
vans starting as early as 5:30 AM. Other bulk customers (e.g. Trader's Joes) will pickup by there
own trucks. Delivery of raw products, (e.g. flour, sugar, etc.) will occur a few times weekly.
Staff Report

Subject: UP 07-0023 & DR 07-0077
June 5, 2008
Page 2 of 3
The project site's General Plan land use designation, Mixed Industrial, allows industrial uses.
Industrial uses, including food preparation facilities, are allowed uses in an Industrial (M-1) Zone
District [SSFMC Section 20.30.020(c)]. Businesses operating on a 24 hour basis, involving
outdoor overnight vehicle storage, outdoor utility yards and businesses generating in excess of
100 average daily vehicle trips are allowed, subject to an approved Use Permit by the City's
Planning Commission [SSFMC Sections 20.30.040 (a), 20.30.040 (b) and 20.30.040 (i),
respectively].
The site and building complies with the General Plan goals and policies encouraging
reinvestment and maintenance of improved sites. The improvements comply with the City's
development standards as displayed in the table in Exhibit #A.
The facility has a total of 74 parking spaces of which 35 parking spaces are the minimum number
required for Unit #B [SSFMC Section 20.74.070]. Based on the applicant's estimate of a
maximum shift of 50 employees and three shifts per day, the 35 assigned spaces will not likely
be adequate for both customers and employees, or for employees alone especially during shift
changes. In order that an adequate number of parking spaces are available, and to minimize the
use of on-street parking facilities and to reduce vehicle trips, a Transportation Demand
Management Plan (TDM) is required. In this regard, conditions of approval have been added
requiring a TDM Plan, aone-year review, and that any increase in the number of employees or
vehicles stored on-site will require prior review and approval by the Planning Commission.
While additional on-site parking is available, it will be utilized by the future occupants of the
adjacent tenant space Unit #A. The loading and truck parking are situated at the rear of the
building and are adequate to serve the business.
The utility yard will provide storage for a nitrogen tank that is utilized in the bakery production.
The tank is too large to be able to be accommodated inside the building. The utility yard is
located at the back of the building and will not be visible from the street. Views of the tank will
be screened by a wall system that uses the same materials as the abutting trash enclosure.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The project was not formally reviewed by the Design Review Board because the building
improvements are interior changes, and the exterior has recently been painted. The rear utility
yard enclosure was reviewed informally by the Design Review Board architects who
recommended some minor changes to the fencing and screen wall. The plans have been revised
to incorporate the suggestions.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed development was determined by City staff to be Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] pursuant to Section 15061
(b)(3). Pursuant to these provisions the project was judged not to have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment. Because the project is exempt, in accordance with the
CEQA, the Planning Commission need take no further action.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project complies with the General Plan and Zoning Code development
requirements. The proposed project has been reviewed and approved by the Design Review
Board. Conditions of approval are recommended to meet city development standards including to
reduce potential temporary parking impacts associated with shift changes at full building
occupancy, as well as require aone-year review. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning
Commission approve a Use Permit and Design Review allowing a production bakery (food
preparation facility) in an existing two tenant industrial building with 24-hour daily operation,
overnight outdoor storage of 6 vans, an outdoor utility yard, and generating over 100 average
daily vehicle trips, situated at 320 Shaw Road Unit #B.

Bay Bread has been in business since 1996. It started as a wholesale bakery selling
artisan breads to restaurants and hotels in the Bay Area. We later added grocery chains
(ie.Trader Joe's, Whole Foods) to our list of customers and grew our wholesale business
to over $ l Omillion.
In 1998 we opened our first retail bakery in San Francisco. We now have 8 cafe bakeries
in the Bay Area and plan to open several more in the years to come.
Our steady growth in the recent years is pushing us to move into a bigger production
facility, hence our need for the building located at 320B Shaw Road.
We will bake everyday and probably 3 shifts per day.
Our staff at any given time should not exceed 40-50 employees.
We use 6 vans to deliver to our local customers and to our own stores. They leave early
in the morning at about 5.30am and come back around mid day.
Trader Joe's uses its own trucks to come and pick up once a day.
We will have a 14 yard debri box for our trash that will be picked up everyday. We are
also looking into the possibilities of recycling and composting with South San Francisco
Scavanger.
We anticipate that we will need ~ 500 gallon grease interceptor that would be cleaned by
professionals once a month.

SUBJECT: ONE YEAR REVIEW OF:
Use Permit and Design Review allowing a food production and a limousine
service, with landscape upgrades and open at-grade parking accommodating up to
23 parking spaces, generating in excess of 100 average daily vehicle trips and 24
hour operation, situated at 1369 and 1373 Lowrie Avenue (APN 015-115-430) in
the Industrial (M-1) Zone District, in accordance with SSFMC Chapters: 20.81
and 20.85.
Owner: Nancy J. Scott
Applicant: Kathleen Keppinger
Case No.: POS-0126 (UPOS-0026 & DROS-0071)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission conduct the review and find that the businesses are operating in
compliance with the conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission approved the conversion of an existing industrial building into amulti-tenant
building comprised of a wholesale bakery and a limousine facility at their meeting of September 15, 2005.
The Commissioners noted that while the parking complied with the Zoning Ordinance minimum
requirements (SSFMC Chapter 20.74), they were concerned with the potential for parking spillovers onto
the street and added a condition of approval requiring aone-year review. The building has been occupied
by both businesses for a few months. City staff has conducted a few random site visits and has not
observed any on-street parking by either business. No complaints have been received from adjacent
businesses.

landscaping.
City Baking operates on a 24 hour basis and employs 60 persons in 4 shifts. The delivery shift
occurs during the early morning hours.
The limousine service operates on a daily basis from 5AM to 12AM and employs 25 persons.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY & ZONING COMPLIANCE
The project site's General Plan Land Use Element designation of Mixed Industrial, allows
commercial food preparation and transportation uses.
The site is situated in the Industrial (M-1) Zone District, which allows both commercial food
preparation uses and transportation service uses subject to an approved Use Permit by the City's
Planning Commission (SSFMC Section 20.30.030(c)). Businesses having a 24 hour operation, or
that store vehicles outdoors, or generating in excess of 100 average daily vehicle trips require an
approved Use Permit by the City's Planning Commission [SSFMC Sections 20.30.040(a),
20.30.040(b) and 20.30.040 (i), respectively].
The building generally complies with current City development standards as displayed in the
following table:

based on applicant's use data.
3. While die pl~uis show 23 outside parking spaces, one space needs to be eliminated to provide a
minimum 15 foot wide one way aisleway.
4. In-lieu fee required for landscaping shortfall.
The proposed parking meets the minimum on-site parking requirements set forth in SSFMC
Chapter 20.74. The parking required for the wholesale bakery is 15 parking spaces. The 6
delivery vehicles with be parked inside the building. Parking should be adequate as many of the
employees are local and use other forms of transportation (carpooling, bicycling and walking) to
and from work.
The minimum required parking for the limousine service is based on the applicant's letter
attached to this report. 'The limousine operator stores 25 limos inside the building and 7 of the 20
drivers take the limos to their personal residence for storage in off business hours. Drivers swap
out their personal vehicles for the limos. Customers generally do not visit the place of business,
but instead conduct transactions over the phone. The 7 outside parking spaces and 31 inside
parking spaces should be adequate to accommodate the remaining 25 employees (working in 3
shifts). The limousine has been in operation for four to five years at this location and City staff is
not aware of any complaints from neighboring businesses.
The proposed 3,375 square feet of landscaping will fall short of the City's minimum landscaping
of 10% of the total site area by 898 square feet. In accordance the SSFMC Chapter 20.101 the
Planning Commission may allow a contribution to the Cultural Arts Fund in lieu of providing
on-site landscaping. The in-lieu fee is estimated to be $6,429.68 [898 SF x $7.16 SF = $6,429.68
(This is subject to a September cost of living adjustment based on the consumer price index)].
Alternatively, the Planning Commission may reduce the parking requirement to provide for
additional landscape area to meet the minimum requirement. To eliminate the shortfall of 898 SF
approximately 6 to 7 parking spaces would need to be eliminated. The Planning Commission
could review the project one year after build out and review the parking. At the time of the one
year review, should the parking prove inadequate, the Commission could allow the payment of
the in-lieu fee and conversion of the landscape area to parking.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
Staff Report
To: Planning Commission
Subject: POS-0126 1369 & 1373 Lowrie Avenue
September 15, 2005
Page 4 of 4
The project design was reviewed by the Design Review Board at its meeting of August 16, 2005.
The Board approved the plan with the condition to resubmit a landscape plan for approval and
concern with the trucks backing up and conflict with unprotected downspout. The applicant has
revised the plans in accordance with the Board's suggestions. The minutes of the Design Review
Board are attached to this staff report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City staff has determined that the proposed development is Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15332, Class
32 In-Fill Development Project. Because the project has been determined to be exempt, the
Planning Commission need take no further action regarding the environmental review.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve the following:
1) Use Permit allowing a food production and a limousine service, with landscape
upgrades and open at-grade parking accommodating up to 23 parking spaces, generating
in excess of 100 average daily vehicle trips and 24 hour operation, 2) Cultural Arts
Contribution allowing 3,375 square feet of landscaping instead of meeting the City's
minimuml0% landscape requirement of 4,273 square feet, and 3) Design Review of
exterior building improvements, landscape upgrades and open at-grade parking
accommodating up to 23 parking spaces.
