Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -54 Variance No. 2014 -09 January 12, 2015 Page 3 The subject site is located in the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district. The C1 zone allows for retail and services uses by right and retail markets with 24 -hour operation subject to a conditional use permit. The proposed convenience store with 24 -hour operations is consistent with the uses permitted in the C1 zoning district. Project Analysis Conditional Use Permit 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 the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. The proposed 24 -hour operation will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well -being of the neighborhood or community. Approving an after -hours conditional use permit at the site will provide an additional convenience to the community by allowing patrons the ability to purchase a variety of store items at hours that are convenient for a broad range of customers. The CUP will not negatively affect the surrounding community as conditions of approval have been included to reduce potential impacts and avoid the potential for an attractive nuisance being established. By offering extended hours of operation, the tenant can better serve the community by providing added convenience and a one -stop shopping experience. 31A-5
