Under the City's zoning ordinance, a is required to operate a thrift store in the zoning district. Property Description The project site is approximately 9.55 acres in size and is located on the west side of Bristol Street between St. Gertrude Place on the north and Warner Avenue on the south. There are eight buildings on the site totaling 121,696 square feet that are primarily used for retail, restaurant and medical uses. The property is zoned General Commercial (C2), which is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial (GC). The project site is bounded by retail uses to the north and south, a mix of retail and single-family residences to the east, and multi-family residences to the west. There are 582 existing parking spaces on the project site (Exhibits 1 and 2) . EXHIBIT A 31A-2 ~nditional Use .ay 10, 2004 Page 2 Permit No. 2004-11 Project Description Goodwill Industries proposes to operate a non-profit retail thrift store within an existing 12,778 square foot tenant space at 2118 South Bristol Street. The proposed business differs from existing Goodwill retail store operations in that this store will involve the sale of products similar to upscale factory and clearance type department store goods. The proj ect will require tenant improvements within the existing building in order to create the retail and storage areas necessary for the business operations. Numerous façade and site improvements were approved in September 2003 for both the subject building and the site as a whole. No additional exterior changes are proposed to the building. Improvements such as parking lot landscaping and parking lot re-striping were recently completed (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5) . Analysis of the Issues ~ conditional use permit is required for thrift shops operated by nonprofit or government-subsidized organizations. Goodwill Industries will provide additional employment opportunities and training for people with disabilities and other handicaps, together with reasonably priced, high quality retail products. To avoid possible impacts associated with the thrift store use, it is recommended that conditions be attached to the conditional use permit in order to mitigate any negative impacts associated with the operation of the facility. It is not anticipated that the proposed thrift store, in conjunction with the proposed conditions, will create negative impacts to the surrounding business or residential community. Parking for the proj ect including the proposed thrift store meets code requirements as the buildings were originally constructed for retail use. A total of 582 parking spaces are required and have been provided on the project site. Upgrades are proposed to the existing parking lot lighting, which is intended to bring the site into closer compliance with current commercial development standards. All other developments standards were satisfied as a result of the recently completed façade improvement to the project site. The thrift store use will provide a long-term social benefit to the ~ommunity as the use functions as a typical retail establishment. ~dditionally, no adverse impacts are anticipated as a result of the project's approval. At the time of this report, there appear to be no code enforcement violations on the subject site. 31A-3 Conditional Use May 10, 2004 Page 3 Permit No. 2004-11 Based upon the above analysis of the project and its compatibility with the General Plan, findings and conditions of approval, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-11 as conditioned (Exhibits 6 and 7) . CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2004-039 will be filed for this project. viL~rÇ;:u Associate Planner ¡,.t- ~ Vince Frego 0, Senior Plan er VC:JM vc\reports\cup04-11.pc 31A-4 , '--''--' '-I.......J ~~.L.......J \--1"...L.-..J l-.J L-J L-.J W---J WLJ ~ ~INGëFi'" Av.---' '-- ~ '-- .
