NO. 007-103-04 APPLICATION: 1. Environmental Determination 2. Variance to waive nine of the required 16 on-site parking spaces for a 48-seat restaurant LOCATION: 2516 'J' Street PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting the necessary entitlements to waive nine of the required 16 on-site parking spaces for a 48-seat restaurant. PROJECT INFORMATION: 1974 General Plan Designation: Commercial and Offices 1980 Central City Community Plan Designation: General Commercial Existing Zoning of Site: C-2 Existing Land Use of Site: Vacant (former location of Sacramento Bible House) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Commercial; C-2 South: Commercial and Offices; C-2 East: Commercial; C-2 West: Commercial; C-2 Number of Seats: 48 Parking Required: 16 spaces Parking Provided: 7 spaces Parking Ratio: 1:3 seats Property Dimensions: 40' x 160' Square Footage of Building: 1,900 (restaurant) 1,000± (beauty shop) Exterior Building Colors: Blue and White Exterior Building Materials: Wood and stucco STAFF EVALUATION: The staff has the following comments: 1. The applicant proposes to operate a 48-seat restaurant in an existing 2,900± square foot commercial building. The restaurant would occupy the first floor (1,900 sq. ft.) of the building. The second floor (1,000 sq. ft.) is leased to a beauty shop. Presently, there are seven parking spaces on the subject site (Exhibit A). Two of these spaces are for the beauty shop use. The applicant, with the permission of the owner, proposes to remove existing accessory buildings at the rear of the in structure to ke room for two additional parking spaces. The total parking for the restaurant, after the removal of the accessory buildings, would be seven. As 16 parking spaces are required for a 48-seat restaurant, the applicant is requesting a variance to waive nine of the required spaces. APPLC.

..1-2- 2 Staff inspected the subject site several times between the hours of 11:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. and found on-street parking to be very limited in the surrounding area. Parking along 25th and 26th Streets has no time limitations and few spaces are available during norl working hours. Parking on 'J' Street between 25th and 26th Streets is one-hour, non-metered parking. While on the average there were five parking spaces available at five to 10 minute intervals, these were utilized by persons who ke short stops to patronize the existing commercial businesses (see Exhibit 8). Staff believes that if the waiver of the nine parking spaces for the proposed restaurant use was granted, the dend for on-street parking would increase. This would prove injurious to the existing commercial businesses adjacent to the subject site. A representative of the merchants ;in the area has notified staff that they are concerned over the lack of on-street parking in the area and the negative impact the parking waiver would have on the area if it were approved by the Commission. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following actions: 1. Ratification of the Negative Declaration; 2. Denial of the Variance to waive nine of the required parking spaces, based upon Findings of Fact which follow. Findings of Fact a. Granting this variance would constitute a special privilege extended to one individual property owner in that less intensive commercial uses can be located on the site which will not increase the dend for on-street parking; b. Granting this variance would be injurious to the welfare of the public and neighboring properties in that: 1) the waiver of the parking requirement would increase the dend for on-street parking in the neighborhood; 2) it would result in additional on-street parking congestion and traffic circulation. c. The variance, as proposed, is not consistent with the Central City Plan's transportation goal to "provide adequate off-street parking to meet the needs of shoppers, visitors and residents."
