ITEM EXPLANATION: Project Application(s) I Administrative Approvals I Planning Commission I City Council CUP 15-01 I I I X A= Approved x = Final City decision-making authority ./ = requires Coastal Commission approval On May 20, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended approval (4-2; Chairperson Scully and Commissioner Anderson voted no; Commissioner Black absent) to allow a brewery and tasting room in an existing office/industrial building on property located at 2719 Loker Avenue West, Suite D, in the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and in Local Facilities Management Zone 5. The project site consists of six buildings on individual lots with a common lot mostly containing parking areas and landscaping. One of the six buildings is further subdivided into four air-space condominiums with the brewery and tasting room proposed in one of the four air-space units. The entire project site consists of office and industrial uses, with a retail gun store in an adjacent building. Palomar Brewing Company is proposing a 650 square foot tasting room within a 3,280 square foot suite. The remaining space would be a mix of office (242 s.f.), manufacturing (541 s.f.) and warehousing (1,847 s.f.). A brewery is a permitted use in the P-M Zone. However, a brewery with an accessory tasting room is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council. Tasting rooms are limited to 20% of the gross floor area of the building/suite or 2,000 square feet, whichever is less. The proposed 650 square foot tasting room is 19.8% of the gross floor area of the suite and therefore complies with the 20% maximum size requirement. The primary brewery use is considered a manufacturing use and the accessory tasting room has the same parking requirement as the primary use according to the municipal code. The parking lot for the project site has 220 parking spaces. All of the uses together, including the brewery, require a total of 209 spaces. Therefore, there will be a surplus of 11 parking spaces on-site. Future tenant improvements and/or new uses proposed for vacant suites on the site will be evaluated for parking compliance prior to issuance of a building permit or business license.

In addition, Mr. Paul Danninger, representing the project site's owner's association, expressed concern about the potential loss of parking on the site. No other members of the public spoke on the item. Chairperson Scully commented that she is in support of the brewery, but cannot support the tasting room because she feels that it is not a compatible use given its proximity to the existing gun store. Commissioner Anderson commented that she is concerned there is not enough parking for all uses on the site. without a shared parking agreement. Commissioner L'Heureux commented that he cannot support the project without a condition of approval limiting the hours of operation of the tasting room. A motion was made to add a condition of approval that limits the hours of operation of the tasting room to Wednesdays 4 pm - 8 pm, Thursdays 4 pm - 9 pm, Fridays 4 pm -10 pm, Saturdays 11 am -10 pm, and Sundays 11 am -10 pm. The tasting room shall be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

CASE NAME: CASE NO.: PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY CUP 15-01 WHEREAS, Pressly Fairweather, "Developer," has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property owned by Angela Fairweather, "Owner," described as Unit 1-2 of Module 1 of MS 05-24 which is a portion of Lot 3 of Parcel Map 19517, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to map thereof, filed in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, June 30, 2004 ("the Property"); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Conditional Use Permit as shown on Exhibits "A"-"B" dated May 20, 2015, on file in the Planning Division, PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY-CUP 15-01, as provided by Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on May 20, 2015, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the CUP. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) B) Findings: That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY-CUP 15-01, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: (Note: These findings are not applicable to 1st Amendment uses; see Section 21.42.030.B) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the proposed brewery and. tasting room will add to Carlsbad another popular use that is enjoyed throughout the county. The use will provide a good balance by utilizing the industrial park space for manufacturing during typical working hours and will provide a social environment on evenings and weekends when the industrial park is less utilized. Furthermore, per Industrial Implementing Policy C.9 of the General Plan Land Use Element, ancillary commercial (tasting room) is a compatible land use in the PI land use designation and are conditionally permitted in the implementing P-M zone. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed brewery and tasting room is compatible with the surrounding office/industrial park uses and the proposed use will provide adequate parking that is consistent with the city's parking requirements. The existing site has been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site and provides for adequate tr~ffic circulation. Furthermore the brewery and tasting room is proposed to be located within an existing building and only tenant improvements to the interior are required for the use. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in that the brewery and tasting room will occupy 3,280 square feet of an existing building with existing onsite landscaping and parking and requires no site alterations or additional amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required development standards of the P-M Zone including that a tasting room is limited to 20% of the gross floor area or 2,000 square feet, whichever is less. The proposed 650 square foot tasting room is 19.8% of the proposed 3,280 square foot space, which is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use as shown on Exhibits "A-B." The brewery and tasting room requires 6 parking spaces. Including Palomar Brewing Company, the property has an excess of 11 parking spaces for all existing uses and therefore meets all parking requirements. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from Loker Avenue West, a local street which is currently operating at an acceptable level of service and accessed from Palomar Airport Road and El Fuerte Street. The 26 average daily trips associated with this proposed brewery and tasting room can be accommodated by the existing street system. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301 -Existing Facilities of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. 6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project. r;f PC RESO NO. 7100 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Conditions: Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to building permit issuance or occupancy, whichever occurs first. 1.

The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, "Existing Facilities," of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. A Notice of · Exemption shall be filed with the County Clerk upon approval of this project. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7100 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of CUP 15-01, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND This application is a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a brewery and tasting room to operate in a 3,280 square foot suite (Suite D) within an existing office/industrial building on property located at 2719 Loker Avenue West, in the P-M Zone. Interior tenant improvements are proposed for this project and there are no proposed improvements to the exterior of the building. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Planned Industrial (PI) and the Zoning designation for the site is Planned Industrial (P-M). The project site consists of six buildings on individual lots with a common lot mostly containing parking areas and landscaping. One of the six buildings is further subdivided into four air- space condominiums with the brewery and tasting room proposed in one of the four air-space units. The entire project site consists of office and industrial uses, with a retail gun store in an adjacent building. Please see Attachment 4 for a list of current businesses on-site and their operating hours. The proposed 3,280 square foot brewery is broken down into 1,847 s.f. of warehouse, 541 s.f. of manufacturing, 242 s.f. of office and a 650 s.f. retail tasting room. The proposed hours of operation of the tasting room are as follows: Wednesdays 4 pm - 8 pm, Thursdays 4 pm - 9 pm, Fridays 4 pm -10 pm, Saturdays 1 pm -10 pm, Sundays 1 pm-7 pm and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The project is compatible with the surrounding uses in that a brewery is a manufacturing use that is permitted by right use in the Planned Industrial zone. A brewery with an accessory retail sales and tasting room area is a conditionally permitted use subject to City Council approval. However, as stated above, the hours of operation for the retail tasting room are largely outside of the typical business hours for other industrial and office uses at the site and in the surrounding area. Although a retail gun store on the site will also be open during these hours, each use has satisfied the required parking on-site and will be able to operate simultaneously. Additionally, there is no separation requirement between a retail gun store and a brewery with a tasting room. The project has been conditioned to obtain and keep a valid license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

ANALYSIS The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies: A. Planned Industrial (PI) General Plan Land Use Designation; B. Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.34); C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44); D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42); and E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90). The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in the sections below. A. General Plan Compliance {Planned Industrial Land Use Designation) The site has a General Plan Land Use designation of Planned Industrial (PI) and the project complies with the General Plan. Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, Industrial Implementing Policy C.9, states the following: "Include provisions in the Planned Industrial (P-M) zone for ancillary commercial/retail, office, places of worship, recreational, and other service uses. These include, but are not limited to, commercial/retail services which are accessory to the primary use, conference facilities, churches, daycare centers, recreational facilities, educational facilities and short-term lodging". The proposed brewery is a permitted use in the Planned Industrial zone and the tasting room is considered a retail service that is accessory to a brewery and is allowed by a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Planned Industrial zone subject to City Council approval. B. Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.34) The proposed project site is zoned Planned Industrial (P-M) and is therefore subject to the provisions of Chapter 21.34 of the Zoning Ordinance. Breweries are permitt~d in the P-M Zone. However, breweries with accessory tasting rooms are subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Tasting rooms are limited to 20% of the gross floor area of the building/suite or 2,000 square feet, whichever is less. The \~ CUP 15-01-PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY May 20,2015 Page 3 proposed brewery and tasting room will occupy an existing 3,280 square foot suite and does not propose any additions or exterior improvements to the existing building. The proposed tasting room is 650 square feet which is 19.8% of the gross floor area of the suite and therefore complies with the 20% maximum size requirement. Parking compliance is discussed in section C below. C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44} The parking lot for the project site has 220 parking spaces, or 1 space per 367 square feet of building space. The primary brewery use is considered a manufacturing use and has a required parking ratio of 1 parking space per 400 square feet of manufacturing space. Furthermore, the accessory tasting room has the same parking requirement as the primary use (1 parking space per 400 square feet) according to Note 3 of Table A, Section 21.34.020 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The office portion of the proposed brewery has a required parking ratio of 1 parking space per 250 square feet of office space. The warehouse portion has a required parking ratio of 1 parking space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse space. Based upon the aforementioned mentioned parking ratios, the use requires 6 parking spaces. The remaining suites and buildings are comprised of office, manufacturing, warehousing and retail. All of the uses together, including the brewery, require a total of 209 spaces. Therefore, there will be a surplus of 11 parking spaces. Future tenant improvements and/or new uses proposed for vacant suites on the site will be evaluated for parking compliance prior to issuance of a building permit or business license. D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42) The proposed project is a use which is allowed in the Planned Industrial Zone (P-M) subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council. Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that four findings be made in order to approve a conditional use permit. All of these findings can be made for this project as discussed below: 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the proposed brewery and tasting room will add to Carlsbad another popular use that is enjoyed throughout the county. The use will provide a good balance by utilizing the industrial park space for manufacturing during typical working hours and will provide a social environment on evenings and weekends when the industrial park is less utilized. Furthermore, per Industrial Implementing Policy C.9 of the General Plan Land Use Element, ancillary commercial (tasting room) is a compatible land use in the Piland use designation and are conditionally permitted in the implementing P-M zone. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which 'the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed brewery and tasting room is compatible with the surrounding office/industrial park uses and the proposed use will provide adequate parking that is consistent with the city's parking requirements. The existing site has been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site and provides for adequate traffic circulation. Furthermore the brewery and tasting room is proposed to be located within an existing building and only tenant improvements to the interior are required for the use. \~ CUP 15-01-PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY May 20,2015 Page 4 3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in that the brewery and tasting room will occupy 3,280 square feet of an existing building with existing onsite landscaping and parking and requires no site alterations or additional amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required development standards of the P-M Zone including that a tasting room is limited to 20% of the gross floor area or 2,000 square feet, whichever is less. The proposed 650 square foot tasting room is 19.8% of the proposed 3,280 square foot space, which is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use as shown on Exhibits "A-B." The brewery and tasting room requires 6 parking spaces. Including Palomar Brewing Company, the property has an excess of 11 parking spaces for all existing uses and therefore meets all parking requirements. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from Loker Avenue West, a local street which is currently operating at an acceptable level of service and accessed from Palomar Airport Road and El Fuerte Street. The 26 average daily trips associated with this proposed brewery and tasting room can be accommodated by the existing street system. E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90} The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5 in the southwest quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table B below: TABLE B-GROWTH MANAGEMENT STANDARD IMPACTS COMPLIANCE?

MOTION ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Anderson and duly seconded by Commissioner L'Heureux that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 7101 approving Coastal Development Permit COP 14-05 and Minor Variance AV 15-04 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. VOTE: 6-0 AYES: Chairperson Scully, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Black, Commissioner L'Heureux, Commissioner Montgomery and Commissioner Segall NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Siekmann ABSTAIN: None Chairperson Scully closed the public hearing on Agenda Item 2, asked Mr. Neu to introduce the next item, and opened the public hearing on Agenda Item 1. Commissioner Siekmann returned to the dais. 1. CUP 15-01 -PALOMAR BREWING COMPANY-Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow Palomar Brewing Company to operate a brewery and tasting room in an existing office/industrial building on property located at 2719 Loker Avenue West, Suite D, in the P- M Zone and in Local Facilities Management Zone 5. The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301 , "Existing Facilities," of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Exemption shall be filed with the County Clerk upon approval of this project. Mr. Neu introduced Agenda Item 1 and stated Assistant Planner Chris Garcia would make the staff presentation. Commissioner Black recused himself from the dais due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Garcia gave a brief presentation and stated he would be available to answer any questions. Chairperson Scully asked if there were any questions of staff. Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2015 Page 5 Commissioner Siekmann asked if there is any other place in the City of Carlsbad where a place that serves alcohol is next to a place that someone can buy a gun and ammunition. Mr. Garcia stated that to his knowledge, the gun shop is the only place in the city to buy guns. He commented that a Big 5 sporting goods store will be located in the shopping center across from Stagecoach Park, and that store typically sells guns and ammunition. There is an existing restaurant in that shopping center that sells alcohol. Mr. Garcia further commented that there is an ammunition store located on State Street in close proximity to several bars. Commissioner Siekmann asked if the Police Department has any concerns with this proposed project. Mr. Garcia stated that he did request a review by someone who typically reviews the ABC licenses and there are no concerns at this time. Commissioner Siekmann asked if there are any plans to sell tobacco products in the tasting room. Mr. Garcia stated that it was his understanding that tobacco sales are not proposed. Commissioner L'Heureux asked about the type of ABC license the business will need to obtain . Mr. Garcia explained that the type of license the applicant will apply for is for a small brewery which does permit consumption onsite as well as offsite sales. Commissioner L'Heureux asked about the hours of operation for the tasting room . Mr. Garcia stated hours of operation for the tasting room are not proposed to be restricted through a condition at this time. Commissioner Siekmann asked about the proposed hours of operation as listed in Attachment No. 4. Mr. Garcia stated that those are the hours the applicant is expecting the tasting room to be open. Commissioner Anderson stated her concern about the tasting room being what seems to her to be like a restaurant which would require more parking. Mr. Garcia stated that the municipal code was amended a couple of years ago to allow accessory retail uses in the Planned Industrial zone to open up the business park, and the amendment was brought forward to and approved by both the Commission and the City Council. Parking is based on the primary use, which for this project is manufacturing, and not as accessory retail which would be a higher parking rate. The applicant is complying with the parking requirements as set forth in the municipal code. Commissioner Segall asked if they would be able to be open on a holiday. Mr. Garcia stated that there are currently no restrictions on the days of the week to be open. Commissioner Segall inquired about other similar uses in the city and if there are restrictions for hours in the conditional use permits (CUP) for those businesses. Mr. Garcia stated not to his knowledge. There are two smaller breweries that do not have conditions of approval because a CUP was not required . Mr. Garcia added that he did ask the ABC if they restrict hours of operations, which they said they follow the state mandated hours. Commissioner Segall asked about food service in the tasting room. Mr. Garcia stated food service is not permitted in the tasting room. Commissioner Segall commented that some breweries in other cities set up food service right outside the brewery in the parking lot, and asked staff if that would be allowed with this project. Mr. Garcia stated he was not sure the applicant was proposing that at this time. The city does have an ordinance about parking food trucks for a limited amount of time. Chairperson Scully asked if complimentary food service is allowed . Mr. Garcia stated in his opinion, if free snacks were available, such as pretzels, it would be very minor and accessory in nature, and therefore would be acceptable. Commissioner L'Heureux asked what the difference between a deli, food service, and a restaurant. Mr. Garcia explained that because of the CUP, staff would perform the ·annual review of the site as well as handle any complaints that might be received. While Mr. Garcia stated he did not know the exact definition of a deli or a restaurant, a deli is generally prepackaged foods with the warming of a precooked product. Commissioner L'Heureux asked what would need to be done if the applicant wished to add food service in the future. Mr. Garcia stated the applicant would need to apply for another CUP. Commissioner L'Heureux asked if that would be a permit that is approved administratively. Jane Mobaldi, Assistant City Attorney, urged the Commission to focus on the application that is before the Commission at this time and not speculate about what the applicant could do in the future. The applicant is not proposing food service, they are not asking for any kind of food service, deli or otherwise, so the distinctions are not relevant at this point in time. Chairperson Scully asked about the functions of the other businesses in the center. Mr. Garcia stated he believes there is a mix of office, research and development, a gun retail store, a cabinet shop, and a fabric Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2015 Page 6 warehouse. There is mix of businesses that are permitted by right with the exception of the retail shop at the gun store. Commissioner Montgomery asked if the accessory use for the tasting room is the only reason this item is before the Commission. Mr. Garcia stated yes and commented that the brewery is permitted by right. Chairperson Scully asked if there were any further questions of staff. Seeing none , she asked if the applicant wished to make a presentation. Ben Fairweather, 385 Nautical Drive, Carlsbad, stated he would be available to answer any questions. Chairperson Scully asked if there were any questions of the applicant. Commissioner L'Heureux stated he is very concerned about the lack of hours of operation as conditions. He asked if the applicant would be agreeable to a condition that sets the hours of operation. Mr. Fairweather stated yes, and added that the ABC limits the hours of operation. Commissioner Montgomery clarified that the hours of operation including the staff report are for the tasting room only. Mr. Fairweather stated yes. Commissioner Siekmann asked if there are any plans to expand the license to include tobacco sales. Mr. Fairweather stated no. Commissioner Siekmann asked for the hours of operation from the ABC. Mr. Fairweather stated closing at 10 p.m. on the weekends and not opening before 3 p.m. during the week. Mr. Garcia added that he has talked with a planner from the City of Vista, and Vista restricts the hours of operation to 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and they have received very few complaints. Commissioner Anderson stated she is concerned with the conflict with the other businesses and the amount of parking. Mr. Fairweather stated that in addition to the 6 spaces they own, there are 11 excess spaces within the complex. He stated he has talked with the Gunther's, and he is willing to pay for signs to be made and installed in the 26 spaces the Gunther's own so there is no confusion and he would be amenable to doing that for the other businesses as well. Chairperson Scully asked if there were any other questions of the applicant or of staff. Seeing none, asked if there were any members of the audience who wished to speak on the item . Chairperson Scully opened the public testimony on Agenda Item 1. Paul Danninger, association manager for the Promontory Business Park, representing the board of directors for the business park, stated there are some concerns among the owners with the parking for this proposed project. Mr. Danninger stated that the Board would like to file a formal complaint that the parking for the CUP is woefully inadequate and not accurately represented. Commissioner Segall commented that most of the parking for this project would be during non-working hours, and asked what the experience is with the current tenants and their hours. Mr. Danninger commented that the businesses are run by small business owners who more often than not work late hours. Commissioner Segall asked what parking is like about 6 p.m . and on weekends. Mr. Danninger stated that during the week at 6 p.m., the parking is definitely thinner. The issue the association has is that they purchased the buildings with parking rights. Commissioner Segall asked if there is street parking. Mr. Danninger stated he believes parking is allowed on the street. Commissioner L'Heureux asked if Mr. Danninger is stating the hours of operation will not cure the parking issue because this tenant does not have a right to use just any open parking space. Mr. Danninger stated that was correct. He further stated that many of the other associations he works with have reciprocal parking agreements which he is in favor of. Mr. Neu added that as Mr. Garcia previously stated, the municipal code was amended in 2013, and there currently is a specific line item in the use table for breweries with an accessory use. The amendment to the code specifically called out not increasing the parking requirement so this proposed use is being parked using the rate for the primary use of the building. Mr. Neu stated the project does comply with the city Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2015 Page 7 standard for parking. There seems to be an issue amongst the association about whether different business owners have rights to the parking lot. The parking rate that applies to this use does not require a shared parking agreement with the other uses because it meets what the code requires. In this, it is Mr. Neu 's impression that the association, if they had legal rights to tell the applicant he cannot use the other spaces could do so or otherwise prevent it. Chairperson Scully asked if there were any further questions. Seeing none, she asked if any other members of the audience wished to speak on the item. Seeing none, Chairperson Scully closed public testimony. Commissioner Segall asked for clarification regarding the CC&Rs and the 24 unallocated spots. Mr. Garcia stated that those spaces are for all 6 buildings. Mr. Garcia stated that while he was not sure if he had the latest version of the CC&Rs, but it appears that there are 24 parking spaces that have not been designated for any specific business. Ms. Mobaldi added that CC&Rs are private agreements between the owners and the city does not get involved or enforce CC&Rs. She added that what Mr. Neu stated is more pertinent which is that the project meets city standards. Commissioner Siekmann asked about Mr. Garcia's observations regarding the parking during his recent site visits. Mr. Garcia stated that he visited the site twice: once on a Tuesday morning at 10:45 which had roughly 132 vacant parking spaces, and on May 4, 2015 at 4:40 he observed about 157 vacant spaces. DISCUSSION Commissioner Segall stated he wants to support the project but has a concern with the parking particularly if business owners have rights or purchased rights to parking. He would like to have some sort of assurance that if the project is approved people will not be parking in spaces that are not appropriate. He does not want to approve the CUP only to find out later there is a horrific parking problem. Mr. Neu stated that if there is a parking problem, the CUP could be revoked. This is not unique to this type of use, there are restaurants and commercial centers in the city that are wildly successful. The parking rate is not infallible by any means. In this case, staff was going from the standpoint of the code and the project satisfied that. There was not a need to obtain any reciprocal parking agreements, which are very tough to regulate. If the owners themselves find that the project is not compliant with the CC&Rs or it does not have the parking, they could have the ability to limit the use. The city's only recourse if the project is approved and there are problems would be for the Commission to review the project and conditions again. Commissioner Segall asked if street parking is allowed. Mr. Neu stated that he is not sure. Commissioner Segall asked if it would be possible to require mutual parking agreements. Mr. Neu stated that that has been done in the past when it was necessary to meet a certain parking requirement. In this case, the way the amendment was set up was to allow these accessory limited retail uses without increasing the parking supply. The Commission's decision is a recommendation to Council. Commissioner Montgomery stated he can support the project. He believes the applicant has a right to rely on what the city codes allow and the applicant has a right to spend his funds as he chooses. Commissioner Montgomery stated he does not like the idea of pulling the rug out from under the applicant when he is relying completely on requirements in the code. Generally speaking, it appears that the hours of operation will work out with plenty of parking available. He stated he can support the project and he supports the applicant. Commissioner Siekmann stated her concurrence with Commissioner Montgomery. She commented that the applicant has done everything that he was supposed to do and followed everything he was supposed to follow. She believes there are enough policies in place to ensure regulations are followed. Commissioner Siekmann stated she can support the project. Commissioner L'Heureux commented that he has a problem with no conditions of hours of operation being included in the approving resolution. He feels that will cause too many problems in the future. Commissioner L'Heureux thinks including operating hours will only benefit the applicant. He stated he cannot support the project without the hours of operation being included as a condition. Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2015 Page 8 Commissioner Anderson stated she too is reluctant to support the project without restrictions on hours of operation and without shared parking agreements in place. Chairperson Scully commented she is in support of the brewery but cannot support the tasting room and its proximity to the gun store. Chairperson Scully also stated that she feels that the use is not compatible. Commissioner Segall asked if operating hours can be included as a condition. Mr. Neu stated yes. He can support the project and he can support a condition for hours. He further added that he hopes the applicant can work a mutual parking agreement with the other owners. Comm issioner Segall commented that most of the parking in the evening hours will be available. Ms. Mobaldi asked Commissioner Segall if he wanted to make a motion for the operating hours to mirror the hours given by the ABC which is 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. The applicant stated he has no issues with the hours and is agreeable to opening at 4 p.m. on weekdays. Commissioner Anderson commented that without knowing the neighbors are willing to share the parking the Commission is assuming there will be shared parking. It is her opinion that without the shared parking agreement there will not be enough parking. Chairperson Scully redirected the Commission as the focus is on the hours of operation for the project because the project meets the parking requirements. Ms. Mobaldi stated that the Commission cannot mandate or force a shared parking agreement. The Commission is adjusting the operating hours in part to help ease concerns regarding parking. If there are parking issues in the future, the project can come before the Commission for review. A motion was made by Commissioner Siekmann which was duly second by Commissioner Montgomery to include the allowed hours of operation as Wednesdays 4 pm - 8 pm , Thursdays 4 pm-9 pm, Fridays 4 pm-10 pm , Saturdays 11 am-10 pm, and Sundays 11 am-10 pm. The tasting room shall be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. MOTION ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Siekmann and duly seconded by Commissioner Montgomery that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 7100 recommending approval of CUP 15-01, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein including the condition to include operating hours. VOTE: 4-2 AYES: Commissioner L'Heureux, Commissioner Montgomery, Commissioner Segall and Commissioner Siekmann NOES: Chairperson Scully and Commissioner Anderson ABSENT: Commissioner Black ABSTAIN : None Chairperson Scully closed the public hearing on Agenda Item 1, and thanked staff for their presentations.
