SUBJECT;
I.
CUP-234 - WOOLWORTH - Request to convert an existing
cafeteria into a video arcade on property generally
located on the lower level of the Plaza Camino Real
Shopping Center addressed as 2525 El Camino Real.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and
ADOPT Resolution No. 2176 APPROVING CUP-234 , based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein:
II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval to convert an existing
cafeteria into a video arcade on property located as described
above. The proposed arcade would take up approximately 2000
square feet of the existing cafeteria space and would be
partitioned. The remaining area would be used for storage. No
exterior physical changes are proposed in conjunction with this
request.
III.ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Does the proposed arcade meet the requirements for a
Conditional Use Permit?
2) Is the proposed use compatible with the surrounding uses in
the vicinity?
Discussion
The applicant is requesting approval to construct the arcade next
to his place of business (Woolworth). There would be no direct
access between Woolworth and the proposed arcade. Staff feels
the arcade meets the required findings for a Conditional Use
Permit. Plaza Camino Real is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use; all setbacks, landscaping and yards can be
provided; the street system is adequate to serve the site; and
the use at this location is desirable for the develoment of the
community.
The proposed arcade is compatible with the surrounding uses.
Plaza Camino Real with it's major stores and supporting shops, of
which the arcade would be one, were designed to accommodate a
high volume of people. Staff believes a large shopping mall is a
more desirable location for an arcade since parking and security
are well established. Staff feels, overall, the arcade meets the
required findings for a Conditional Use Permit, therefore, Staff
recommends approval of CUP-234.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
will not have a significant impact on the environment and,
therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on August 23, 1983.
