CUP Nos. 2016-10 and 2016-11 April 11, 2016 Page 2 Protect Description Danielle Foley, representing 7 -Eleven, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to operate a retail market that occupies a 3,014 -square -foot tenant space on a 24-hour basis and a conditional use permit to establish an off -sale ABC license at a retail market located at 3960 South Main Street, Unit A. Alcohol storage and display areas will be located in the beverage cooler area and on an aisle -cap display, with distilled spirits displayed and stored behind the service counter. The total alcoholic beverage storage and display area will be approximately 150 square feet, which is approximately five percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space (Exhibits 4 and 5). Project Background 7 -Eleven is a retail operator based in Dallas that has been in operation for nearly 90 years. 7 - Eleven operates, franchises, and licenses retail stores in 18 countries, with approximately 8,600 stores located in the United States and Canada. 7 -Eleven is proposing to acquire an existing retail market with a Type 21 ABC license that occupies Unit D of the retail shopping center, rebrand it as a 7 -Eleven, and relocate it to Unit A within the same center. The business operator is proposing to relocate to Unit A to maximize the store's visibility along Main Street. No changes to the exterior of the building or to the site are being proposed as part of this project. Project Analysis Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permit request may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. 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. Staff has reviewed the applicant's request to operate a retail market on a 24-hour basis and to establish an off -sale ABC license at this location. In analyzing the request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the respective conditional use permits. Conditional Use Permit No, 2016-10 — After Hours Operation: The SAMC provides for the regulation of retail markets having less than 20,000 square feet of floor area which operate between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. subject to a conditional use permit in the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district. The purpose of regulating after-hours operation of small retail markets is to preserve the neighborhood characteristics and to minimize impacts to surrounding areas, and to ensure the site does not become an attractive nuisance. 31 C-4
