Agenda Heading: Consent
TITLE:
On -site sale and on -site consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits (Type 47 ABC
License) at Jame Enoteca restaurant, located at 241 Main Street. (Environmental
Assessment No. EA-1295 and Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 20-03).
Applicant: Jackson Kalb.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file
BACKGROUND:
On June 7, 2018, EA-1224 and AUP No. 18-03 was approved for onsite sale and
consumption of beer and wine at an existing 990 square -foot restaurant, between 11 am
and 11 pm. On August 15, 2018, a revision to the AUP was approved, ("Revision A") to
allow onsite sale and consumption of beer and wine within a 90 square foot outdoor dining
area. On January 19, 2020, a second revision to the AUP was approved, ("Revision B")
to allow an expansion to the outdoor dining area from 90 square feet to 120 square feet.
On November 12, 2020, EA-1295 and AUP No. 20-03 was submitted for the expansion
of the existing restaurant into the abutting tenant space, increase to the outdoor dining
area to 197 square feet, upgrade from a Type 41 beer and wine license to a Type 47
license, and change to the hours for alcohol service. After considering the request, on
January 21, 2021 the Director granted approval of the Administrative Use Permit to allow
on -site sale and on -site consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits (Type 47 ABC
License) at a proposed 2,327 square -foot restaurant (Jame Enoteca) containing an 897
square -foot indoor dining area and a 197 square -foot outdoor patio at 241 Main Street.
DISCUSSION:
The site is located in the in the Main Street Transitional District (MSTD) within the
Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) zone. The immediate vicinity of the project site includes
a financial institution, residential, office, retail, service, and other restaurant uses. Jame
Enoteca is located in a one-story L-shape shopping center that is 24,103 square feet. The
tenant space for Jame Enoteca is adjacent to the parking area which contains a financial
institution, retail, restaurants, office and service uses. The proposed hours for alcohol
sales is 10:00 am to 12:00 am daily, similar to limits placed on other restaurants in the
downtown area. The proposed alcohol service for the restaurant is a compatible use in
relation to existing uses in the area. The on -premise sale and consumption of alcohol in
conjunction with food at a new restaurant in the Main Street Transitional District within the
DSP zone is subject to an Administrative Use Permit.

Page 2 of 3
The approval includes conditions that protect the City and surrounding users from
potentially negative impacts. The conditions, findings of approval, and environmental
assessment are provided in the attached approval letter. Staff believes that the project is
appropriate for the location and will not operate in a way that will create unwanted
impacts. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive and file the Director's
approval. In the alternative, any Planning Commissioner may request that an item be
discussed and a decision on the application be made by the Planning Commission
instead.
TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE; QUASI-JUDICIAL; OR ADVISORY)
Quasi-judicial: In the event the Planning Commission desires to review the Director's
approval of the administrative use permit, the Planning Commission acts in its quasi-
judicial capacity (i.e., applying established standards to applications to determine specific
rights under existing law). Before an administrative use permit may be granted, the
Director or the Commission must find the following findings are met as required by ESMC
§ 15-22-5:
1. There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in
relationship to other existing and potential uses within the general area
in which the use is proposed to be located.
2. The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the
zone in which the site is located.
3. The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use
would be operated or maintained to not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as
noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards have
been recognized and compensated for.
As stated above, the Director found that the proposed facility satisfied these findings and
thus granted the permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project was analyzed for its environmental impacts under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA"), and the
regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq.,
"CEQA Guidelines"). The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of
Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities)

Exhibit B
Environmental Determination and Required Findings
Environmental Assessment 1295:
After considering the facts and findings below, the Director finds this project is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations §15301 as a Class 1 categorical
exemption (Existing Facilities) because the proposed project consists of the permitting of
existing private structures and involves a negligible expansion of the use.
Administrative Use Permit 20-03:
The following are the facts in support of each finding for this decision:
Finding 1:
There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to other
existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be
located.
Facts in Support of Finding 1:
1. The project is located within the Main Street Transitional District within the
Downtown Specific Plan zone, where restaurants are permitted by right. It is
replacing a former restaurant in a commercial area and is in proper relation to
commercial adjacent uses within this area. The project is situated in an
environment that includes retail, service uses, and other restaurants nearby.
Finding 2:
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in which
the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding 2:
1. The property is in the Main Street Transitional District of the Downtown Specific
Plan (DSP), which serves as a gateway to the Downtown Core. The standards for
this district allow for flexibility and a mixture of commercial uses serving the
residents, local employees, and visitors to the city. The DSP's goals provide
consistency and reflect the vision of the General Plan, including facilitating
economic development and promoting compatible land uses. The intent of the DSP
is met by having several types of uses occupy several storefronts in one building.
The proposed restaurant and the addition of alcohol sales as an ancillary use are
consistent with this purpose.
Finding 3:
The proposed location and use, and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
4
11
Facts in Support of Finding 3:
1. The sale of alcohol will be within an expanded restaurant and an existing outdoor
dining area. No new construction is proposed as part of the request for an alcohol
license. Alcohol sales will be permitted from 10:00 am to 12:00 am daily and will
accompany meals, so the consumption of alcohol in a restaurant setting is not
anticipated to become a nuisance.
Finding 4:
Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise, smoke,
dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized and
mitigated.
Facts in Support of Finding 4:
1. The on -site sale and on -site consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits will not
create any new impacts that would not be normally associated with the operation
of a restaurant. The restaurant currently offers beer and wine, and has not been
the subject of negative impacts. The proposal includes offering beer, wine and
distilled spirits in a larger restaurant that will occupy the abutting tenant space.
Finding 5:
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue a license
to sell beer, wine and distilled spirits to the Applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding 5:
1. The City expects the Applicant will obtain a license from the State of California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the on -site sale and on -site
consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for a restaurant (Type 47 ABC
License). In the event the Applicant does not receive such license, the City's
approval will be null (Condition No. 4).

04)
Applicant: Bob Kizirian representing Bobs Union, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file
BACKGROUND:
On November 13, 2020, EA-1296 and AUP No. 20-04 was submitted for the sale of beer

(Unocal 76) that will contain a new 1,568 square -foot market. The applicant has owned
the gas station since 2010 and is converting the existing one-story automotive repair
building to a convenience store. The proposed remodel will include new storefront
windows and new finishes to the exterior of the building. The applicant intends to sell
beverages, fresh food and a variety of other items. After considering the request, on
January 21, 2021 the Director granted approval of the Administrative Use Permit to allow
on -site sale beer and wine for off -site consumption (Type 20 ABC License) at a new 1,568
square -foot market at 770 North Pacific Coast Highway.
DISCUSSION:
The site is located in the in the Corporate Office (CO) zone. The immediate vicinity of the
project site includes wholesale, retail, restaurant, gas station, and office uses. Alcohol
sales are proposed from 6:00 am to 2:00 am daily. The refrigeration coolers for the alcohol
will be equipped with automatic locking doors and will be set to lock at 2:00 am daily. The
proposed sale of alcohol at the site at a new market is a compatible use in relation to
existing uses in the area. Alcohol sales at a retail establishment in the Corporate Office
(CO) zone is subject to an Administrative Use Permit.
The approval includes conditions that protect the City and surrounding land uses from
potentially negative impacts. The conditions, findings of approval, and environmental
assessment are provided in the attached approval letter. Staff believes that the project is
appropriate for the location and will not operate in a way that will create unwanted
impacts. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive and file the Director's

Exhibit B
Environmental Determination and Required Findings
Environmental Assessment 1296:
After considering the above facts and findings, the Director finds this project is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations §15301 as a Class 1 categorical
exemption (Existing Facilities) because the proposed project consists of the permitting of
existing private structures and involves a negligible expansion of the use.
Administrative Use Permit 20-04:
The following are the facts in support of each finding for this decision:
Finding 1: There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship
to other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed
to be located.
1. The project is located in the Corporate Office (CO) zone, where retail is a permitted
accessory use to a gas station by right. Retail is replacing an auto repair bay and
is in proper relation to commercial adjacent uses within this area. The project is
situated in a environment that includes retail, service uses, and other restaurants
nearby.
Finding 2: The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone
in which the site is located.
1. The property is in the Corporate Office (CO) zone. This zone is intended to provide
for the development of office projects. Regulations are designed to promote a
restricted mixture of office and food serving uses with limited retail uses.The
proposed retail and the addition of alcohol sales as an ancillary use are consistent
with this purpose.
Finding 3: The proposed location and use, and the conditions under which the use would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
1. The sale of alcohol will be permitted from 6:00 am to 2:00 am daily, so it is
unlikely that the market will not cause the establishment to become a nuisance.
Finding 4: Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized and
mitigated.

21
1. The on -site sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption will not create any
new impacts that would not be normally associated with the operation of a
market at a gas station.
Finding 5: The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue
a license to sell beer, wine and distilled spirits to the Applicant.
1. The City expects the Applicant will obtain a license from the State of California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the on -site sale of beer and wine
for off -site consumption at a market (Type 20 ABC License). A public
convenience and necessity letter will be prepared. In the event the Applicant
does not receive such license, the City's approval will be null (Condition No. 4).
