Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-23 <br />December 10, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />Project Description <br />The applicant is proposing to expand and remodel an existing Carl's Jr. <br />Restaurant. The project includes an 859 square foot addition to the <br />existing restaurant that will be used for the indoor play area and <br />restrooms. Along with the expansion, the project will include both <br />interior and exterior improvements to the restaurant, as well as upgrades <br />to the site (Exhibits 3 through 8). The hours of operation for the <br />restaurant are 24 hours a day, seven days a week and no additional <br />conditional use permit is needed as the project site is not located within <br />150 feet of residential properties. <br />The exterior improvements include an upgrade to the existing facade on all <br />four elevations. A contemporary architectural style will be used for the <br />project, which will feature a smooth stucco finish, slate accents, <br />aluminum store front windows, and metal canopies as accent features. The <br />existing outdoor children's play area will be relocated to the interior of <br />the building and completely enclosed thereby leaving the front yard <br />setback clear for landscape improvements. The remodel will create a <br />strong architectural presence along Bristol Street as the building will be <br />the main focus. The proposed facade remodel will be consistent with the <br />Citywide Design Guidelines and the Urban Design Element of the General <br />Plan. <br />Additional improvements include the redesign of the existing drive-through <br />lane to comply with the City's stacking requirement for drive-through <br />window service. The new drive-through lane will include a raised curb <br />that will separate both the existing drive aisles and parking stalls. An <br />existing trash enclosure will be relocated near the restaurant to allow <br />for easier disposal of trash. An existing pole sign near the southwest <br />corner of the property along Bristol Street will be removed, with any new <br />sign complying with the City's standards for freestanding signage. <br />Lastly, the project will include building and site improvements to comply <br />with the City's Building Security Ordinance. <br />The proposed project will include landscape improvements to comply with <br />the commercial landscape standards. Additional landscaping will be added <br />along both Bristol Street and Central Avenue. As the existing children's <br />outdoor play area along Bristol Street will be moved back and enclosed, <br />additional landscaping will be added along the Bristol Street frontage. <br />This setback will include a total of four Canary Island Pines that will <br />comply with the South Bristol Street Improvement Plan. Lastly, additional <br />landscape planters will be added to comply with the City's landscape <br />requirement. <br />31 C-3 <br />
