operation for about 1 year, without any complaints or incidents.
2. The proposed addition includes 920 of interior space and a 180 square foot outside
seating area, in the adjacent space which most recently was occupied by a retail market.
3. The shopping center currently contains approximately 48,700 square feet of various
commercial uses, or which approximately 6685 square feet is used for restaurant purposes, and

1. The site is zoned C-3, and is suitable for the proposed use with the proposed
amendment;
2 . The proposed use is compatible with surrounding commercial and residential uses;
3. The imposition of conditions as required by this resolution will mitigate any
negative impacts on nearby residential or commercial properties;
4 . The parking demand resulting from change of use of a portion of the shopping
center from general retail to a restaurant can be absorbed in the large parking facility that exists
at the shopping center;
5. The Shopping Center will contain a minimum of 191 parking spaces to provide the
minimum ratio of 1 per 250 square feet of floor area;
6. Calculating parking requirements for the proposed use within a large shopping
center at 1 per 250 square feet is acceptable under the terms of Section 17.44 .220, Consolidated
Off-Street Parking, as the proposed project results in only a small percentage increase in the
proportion of commercial space used for restaurant purposes, resulting in a total percentage of
restaurant use of approximately 16 .5%;
7 . This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15303c of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5 . Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves the
requested amendments to the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Plan, subject to the following
