CUP No. 2024-06 & CUP No. 2024-07 — Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers (1303 North Bristol Street) July 8, 2024 Page 4 Standard Required by the COM/C-5 Zoning District Provided Complies; 80 feet from the order 160 feet; 80 feet to menu board and 80 poinV menu board to beginning of Stacking Distance feet to pick-up window drive -through lane, 80 feet from pick- up window/pay window to the menu board Assembly Bill No. 2097 On September of 2022, Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097) was signed into law by Governor Newsom and became effective on January 1, 2023. The primary objective of this legislation is to restrict local governments from imposing parking regulations on commercial and residential projects that are located within 0.5 miles of a major transit location. AB 2097 defines major transit location as an existing rail or bus rapid transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. The proposed project requires 31 parking spaces subject to Section 41-1341 of the SAMC. However, the subject site is located within 0.5 miles of major route intersection located north of project site at the intersection of Seventeenth Street and Bristol Street. Therefore, the proposed 21 parking spaces will not require Planning Commission approval of a variance application. In light of the reduction, conditions of approval would require the applicant to establish a parking management plan should the parking availability impact the surrounding neighborhood. Project Background In 1991, the City Council adopted the Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan (SP1) to address the projected increase in traffic as part of revitalization efforts of the corridor stemming from a now -defunct redevelopment project area. Several parcels along Bristol Street were acquired by the City by way of right-of-way acquisition, which includes the subject property, 1303 North Bristol Street (APN: 405-272-24) and APN: 405-272-21. The existing commercial buildings serving an eating establishment and medical office were later demolished in 2008 and the properties sold through Agreement for Exchange or Real Property No. A-2022-113 to Charles Manh for redevelopment on June 21, 2022. Subsequently, the property owner entered into a lease agreement with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers for redevelopment, and on May 30, 2023, the applicant submitted Development Project Application No. 2023-22 (DP No. 2023-22). Since then, the applicant worked with City staff to address various concerns related building design,
