SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit #1254 and Site Plan Review #474, initiated by Vermeltfoort Architects, Inc., on behalf of Chase Partners, LTD., property owner. This application involves a request to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption for a new gas station (7-Eleven), generally located at the northeast corner of Olive Avenue and State Highway 59 (1995 W Olive Avenue), within a zoning classification of Planned Development (P-D) #12. The property currently has a General Plan designation of Commercial Office (CO) and Industrial (IND); a General Plan designation of Business Park (BP) has been proposed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission via General Plan Amendment #20-02 and Site Utilization Plan Revision #2 to P-D #12. **PUBLIC HEARING** ACTION: Approve/Disapprove/Modify 1) Environmental Review #21-07 (CEQA Section 15162 Findings) 2) Conditional Use Permit #1254 3) Site Plan Review #474 SUMMARY 7-Eleven is requesting approval to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption at a proposed gas station and 4,088 square-foot convenience mart (1995 W Olive Avenue). The subject site is a vacant parcel located at the northeast corner of Olive Avenue and State Highway 59. A conditional use permit is required for any business that wants to sell alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption in a building of 20,000 square feet or less. A gas station/convenience market requires a Site Plan Permit in a Business Park Zone. A Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity (adopted by City Council) is required, because the subject site is located within a Census Tract that is considered over-concentrated by Alcoholic Beverage Control standards. Staff is recommending approval of this application subject to conditions. RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Environmental Review #21-07 [CEQA Section 15162 Findings], Conditional Use Permit #1254, and Site Plan Review Permit #474, including the adoption of the Draft Resolution at Attachment A subject to the conditions in Exhibit A and the findings/considerations in Exhibit B.
