ER No. 2017-140, AA No. 2019-02, CUP No. 2019-12 & VA No. 2019-01 June 10, 2019 Page 2 store (7-Eleven) with an 810-square-foot gas station canopy with two fuels pumps that would accommodate up to four vehicles at a time at 1904 West First Street. Additionally, the request includes approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the convenience store to operate 24- hours per day, seven days per week and a variance application (VA) to allow one additional monument sign on -site. In conjunction with the applicant's request, the City is proposing to amend the zoning designation of 1910 West First Street, 1916 West First Street, and 1901 West Walnut Street from Light Industrial (M1) to General Commercial (C2) and 2002 West First Street from Community Commercial (C1) to General Commercial (C2) to be consistent with the existing General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation of these properties. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for this project. Approval and adoption of the MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMPP) is required by the City Council. Staff is recommending approval of the project as conditioned to facilitate redevelopment of a blighted site with a convenience store and gas station that will serve the community and generate sales tax revenue for the City. The project will not negatively impact the surrounding community and is compatible with the surrounding land uses. This project was considered at the May 13, 2019 Planning Commission meeting. During the public hearing, the applicant had a few concerns with the proposed mitigation measures and conditions of approval. In response to those concerns, the Planning Commission continued the item to May 28, 2019 and subsequently to June 10, 2019 to allow time for the applicant to work with staff to resolve the concerns.
