This same <br /> process could also potentially apply to other uses, such as alcohol <br /> sales, that have separation requirements. <br /> Site Variances <br /> Part of the analysis for all conditional use permits is to determine if <br /> the project is in compliance with all applicable sections of the Municipal <br /> Code. Both the lot size and the existing buildings location result in the <br /> site's nonconformance with several development standards within the <br /> General Commercial (C-2) zoning district. These nonconformities include: <br /> lot size, building setback, landscaping and parking. As no modifications <br /> to the building footprint are proposed, variances will be required from <br /> each of these development standards in order to comply with the Municipal <br /> Code. Although the site's existing conditions prevent the applicant from <br /> complying with the development standards in the General Commercial (C-2) <br /> zone, the applicant is proposing several improvements to bring the site <br /> into closer compliance, including the restriping of the parking lot to <br /> meet City standards and the installation of landscape planter boxes <br /> adjacent to the building. The addition of check cashing at this site will <br /> be incorporated into the existing building footprint and will not increase <br /> the amount of required off-street parking, however; the addition of a <br /> check cashing use within this space will likely result in an increased <br /> number of patrons, which will further exacerbate an already under parked <br /> site. <br /> Conditional Use Permit <br /> Staff has analyzed each of the required discretionary actions and is <br /> unable to make the necessary findings to recommend approval of this <br /> project. Based upon the analysis of the project and the project's <br /> incompatibility with the City's General Plan, applicable development <br /> standards, and proximity to other check cashing and banking institutions, <br /> staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny Variance No. 2009-03, <br /> <br /> Variance No. 2009-05, Variance No. 2009-06, Variance No. 2009-07, Variance <br /> No. 2009-09 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-15 (Exhibits 7 through <br /> 12) . <br /> 31 A-10 <br /> <br />
