body
Background:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of renovating an existing suite to expand and provide extra square footage to an existing liquor store. The current liquor store at 1152 W. Yosemite Ave. is expanding into the vacant 1,015-square-foot space at 1150 W. Yosemite Ave. creating a new space of 2,030 square feet. The business owner is proposing to operate within the hours of 8 am to 11 pm from Sunday to Saturday. The proposed hours of operation are consistent with the current operating hours.
There will be additional landscaping and irrigation added along with new addressing numbers and a refreshed façade. See Figure 1 for the proposed site plan. The project requires a Conditional Use Permit as the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Zone conditionally allows for alcoholic beverage sales or liquor stores with a Conditional Use Permit. It should be noted that there is no conditional use permit approval on file for the current use. Approval of UPJ 24-47 will ultimately bring the business into compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Code.
