Planning Commission

Agenda — 2 items

1. <strong>UP 25178, UP 25303, & DR 25184 (Great Valley Holdings, LLC & Mama's Boy): </strong>Consideration of a Use Permit to allow the change of use to the front building from an office to a deli with no on-site cooking and retail shop (“Mama’s Boy”), a Use Permit to allow the change of use of the rear building from an office to a full-line restaurant focused on lunch and dinner (“Mammone”), and a Track 2 Design Review to allow exterior building modifications and updating the courtyard to allow outdoor seating and access between the two buildings. The property is located on Dolores Street 2 northeast of 5th Avenue in the Service Commercial (SC) Zoning District. Proposed CEQA Action: Find the project categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15303 and 15304 of the CEQA Guidelines and that none of the exceptions to the exemptions contained in section 15300.2 can be made in this case.
2. Director Referral: Continued from the October 8, 2025, December 10, 2025 and January 21, 2026 Planning Commission hearings, consideration and adoption of a resolution regarding A.W. Shucks Cocktail & Oyster Bar (located on Ocean Avenue 3 Southwest of San Carlos Street, in the Central Commercial (CC) Zoning District) including: (1) a resolution determining and finding that the use as a drinking establishment has been abandoned and the resolution would also amend Use Permit No. UP 93-45 to convert the allowed use from a drinking place to a full line restaurant which amendment would be subject to the written consent of AW Shucks or, in the alternative (2) a resolution directing staff to communicate with AW Shucks regarding an amendment to Use Permit No. UP 93-45 to omit limited food service and add a full line restaurant as an ancillary use that is greater than 10% of the primary use. Proposed CEQA Action: Find that the Planning Commission's determination is not a project subject to CEQA and assuming it is a project it is exempt under CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations).
