Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -49 January 27, 2014 Page 3 General Plan and Zonina Analvsis The parcel is located within the Bristol Street Widening Specific Plan (SP -1) and Planned Shopping Center (C4) zoning districts. Both the SP -1 and C4 zones allow for retail and service uses such as the proposed Smart & Final Extra store, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning code. The General Plan land use designation for the site is General Commercial (GC). Such land use designations are designed to provide retail- oriented uses along the City's commercial corridors, and to accommodate major development activity. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. Proiect Analvsis Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permits may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established: • That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. • That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. • That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing this conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. Smart & Final Extra is a traditional supermarket that will provide grocery and household items to the surrounding community. Ancillary products such as beer, wine and distilled spirits are commonly available for purchase within supermarkets such as Smart & Final Extra. The proposed ABC license for Smart & Final Extra is exempt from the City's overconcentration standards as the market is larger than 10,000 square feet in size, which is the minimum size established within SAMC Section 41 -196. 31A-5
