VICE CHAIR ASH SADE, SENIOR PLANNER.
GOOD EVENING PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.
THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE LAHABRA TOWN CENTER SHOPPING PLAZA AT NORTHWEST CORNER OF WHITTIER BOULEVARD AND IDAHO STREET AND INVOLVES THE NORTHGATE MARKET, WHICH HAS BEEN AT THIS LOCATION SINCE 2017.
THE LAHABRA TOWN CENTER SHOPPING PLAZA INCLUDES SIX BUILDINGS OF VARIOUS SIZES AND TENANT SUITES, AS WELL AS A PUBLIC PATIO AREA KNOWN AS PEO GONZALEZ.
IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED A MODIFICATION TO THE, THE EXISTING RESTAURANT SPACE WITHIN NORTHGATE MARKET TO REPLACE THE SELF-SERVICE DELI COUNTERS WITH 64 NEW CHAIRS AND A 16 SEAT BAR AREA FOR A NEW TOTAL OF 86 SEATS THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED A CUP FOR A TYPE 48, A B, C LICENSE FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND SPIRITS FOR ONSITE CONSUMPTION AT THE BAR.
IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED A MODIFICATION TO CHANGE THE TYPE 48 LICENSE, WHICH AGAIN PERMITS ONSITE ALCOHOL SALES AND CONSUMPTION STRICTLY AT THE BAR TO A TYPE 47 LICENSE AND PERMIT ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT AND GROCERY STORE.
ADDITIONALLY, THE APPLICANT RECEIVED APPROVAL TO FENCE OFF APPROXIMATELY 2000 SQUARE FEET OF THE PATIO AREA AS PART OF THE TYPE 47 LICENSE AS REQUIRED BY A BC AS THE SPACE WAS ALREADY PERMANENTLY UTILIZED BY THE NORTHGATE CLIENTELE.
IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR, THE APPLICANT APPLIED FOR ANOTHER MODIFICATION TO INCORPORATE THE ENTIRE PEO GONZALEZ PATIO AREA INTO THE RESTAURANT OPERATION.
THE MODIFICATION WILL INCREASE THE DEDICATED RESTAURANT AREA FROM THE CURRENT 4,000 SQUARE FEET TO APPROXIMATELY 7,000 SQUARE FEET THROUGH THE ADDITION OF THE PATIO, WHICH OFFERS APPROXIMATELY 3000 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR DINING SPACE.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE EXISTING 86 SEAT RESTAURANT CAPACITY WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF 112 OUTDOOR SEATS RESULTING IN A TOTAL RESTAURANT SEATING CAPACITY OF 198 SEATS.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RESTAURANT EXPANSION, THE APPLICANT WILL EXTEND THE APPROVED PREMISES OF THE EXISTING TYPE 47 A BC LICENSE TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE OUTDOOR PATIO ACCESS INTO AND OUTTA THE PATIO AREA WILL BE THROUGH A GATE ALONG THE SOUTHERN WINDSCREEN, A GATE JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RESTAURANT SPACE TO THE WEST AND THE EXISTING DOORWAY FROM THE NORTHGATE MARKET.
EMERGENCY ACCESS AT THE NORTH END WILL REMAIN AS IS AND THE EXISTING ACCESS FROM INSIDE THE RESTAURANT SPACE TO THE WEST WILL BE CLOSED OFF.
AND TO RECAP THE ACTIVE, THE ACTIVE ENTITLEMENTS AT THIS LOCATION, WE HAVE CUP 16 DASH ZERO THREE, WHICH IS BEING AMENDED BY MODIFICATION 26 DASH 0 0 0 2 TO EXTEND THE PREMISES OF THE 4,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT INSIDE OF THE NORTHGATE MARKET AND INCLUDE THE 3000 SQUARE FOOT PEO GONZALEZ AND ADD 112 MORE SEATS.
WE HAVE CUP 16 DASH ZERO FOUR, WHICH APPROVED A TYPE 21 A BC LICENSE FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND SPIRITS FROM THE GROCERY STORE SECTION FOR OFFSITE CONSUMPTION, WE HAVE CUP 17 DASH ZERO TWO, WHICH APPROVED A TYPE 86 LICENSE FOR ONSITE SAMPLING OF BEER, WINE, AND SPIRITS WITHIN THE GROCERY SECTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ACTIVE TYPE 21 A BC LICENSE.
AND WE HAVE CUP 25 DASH 0 0 1 16, WHICH IS BEING AMENDED BY MODIFICATION 26 DASH 0 0 0 3, WHICH WILL EXTEND THE TYPE 47 A BC LICENSE FOR ONSITE SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER, WINE, AND SPIRITS WITHIN THE INDOOR RESTAURANT SECTION TO THE OUT THE ENTIRE OUTDOOR, UH, PATIO AREA AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE GROCERY STORE.
HOWEVER, SEALED BOTTLES OF ALCOHOL CANNOT BE PURCHASED FROM THE GROCERY AREA UNDER THE TYPE 21 LICENSE AND OPENED AND CONSUMED WITHIN THE RESTAURANT OR PATIO AREA AS THAT IS PROHIBITED BY A-B-C-A-B-C IDENTIFIES THE NORTHGATE MARKET AS LOCATED WITHIN CENSUS
[00:10:01]
TRACT 11.01 AND RECOMMENDS THE ISSUANCE OF A MAXIMUM OF SIX ON SALE LICENSES WITHIN THIS TRACT BECAUSE THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION TO THE EXISTING TYPE 47 A BC LICENSE IS JUST AN EXPANSION THAT'S ANCILLARY TO THE INCREASED RESTAURANT SQUARE FOOTAGE.THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ON SALE LICENSES WITHIN THIS TRACT WILL REMAIN AT SIX AND THEREFORE NO PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR, OR NO FINDING OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY IS REQUIRED.
AS DISCUSSED, NORTHGATE MARKET CURRENTLY HOLDS AN ACTIVE TYPE 21 LICENSE AND A TYPE 86 LICENSE WHICH ALLOW FOR ONSITE SAMPLING AND OFFSITE CONSUMPTION OF BEER, WINE, AND SPIRITS.
THESE TWO A BC LICENSES PERTAIN TO THE GROCERY STORE PORTION ONLY AND WILL REMAIN AS IS.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO INCORPORATE POEO GONZALEZ INTO NORTHGATE MARKET'S DESIGNATED RESTAURANT SPACE AND EXTEND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE EXISTING TYPE 47 A BC LICENSE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PATIO.
SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND THE RECOMMEND, THE REQUIREMENTS ENFORCED BY A BC THANK YOU STAFF AND THE APPLICANT ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AT THIS TIME I ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS IF THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES, GO AHEAD, ASH.
DO THE EXISTING RESTAURANT TO THE WEST OF THAT OUTDOOR AREA, YOU, YOU INDICATED THAT THAT WOULD BE CLOSED OFF? THAT'S CORRECT, YES.
THERE'S CURRENTLY, UM, A DOORWAY FROM WHAT USED TO BE SMOKE AND FIRE.
UM, THAT'S GONNA BE WHAT EL MORRO, UH, EL MORRO CHURRO NOW.
AND SO THAT, UM, THAT WILL BE CLOSED OFF AND THE ACCESS OUT OF THIS, UH, POEO GONZALEZ WILL BE, UM, PRETTY MUCH OUT IN FRONT, UM, OF THAT DOORWAY THAT LEADS TO EL MORRO.
AND THEN ANY IN LIKE INSIGHT AS TO, YOU KNOW, WHY THIS PROGRESSION FROM THE APPLICANT? UH, YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID, I THINK WAS IT DECEMBER WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED AND THEN TO MARCH AND JUNE AND, AND THEN NOW ANY BACKSTORY THERE THAT, THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US? UM, I'LL, I'LL ACTUALLY LET THE APPLICANT EXPLAIN.
UM, I THINK IT WAS SOME TIMING ON THEIR END ON DETERMINING WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO, BUT THEY'LL PROBABLY HAVE, UH, MORE INSIGHT ON THEIR BUSINESS REASONING ASH THAT ACCESS.
HOW WOULD WE DESCRIBE IT FROM THE OUTDOOR AREA BACK INTO THAT CIRCLE? THE ONE YOU JUST CIRCLED? YES.
UM, THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS AS AN ENTRY POINT INTO THE STORE, WE'LL CALL IT, RIGHT? YES.
AND SO THAT'S NOT CHANGING AT ALL, THAT IS STAYING AND THEN THESE, I GUESS THESE THICK PURPLE BORDER LINES DON'T REALLY INDICATE ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST THE SPACE.
I, I RECALL THERE, THERE BEING SOME SORT OF FENCING THERE ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE WHERE YEAH, WHERE THAT CIRCLE AIR, AIR IS.
IS THAT ACCURATE OR? YEAH, SO CURRENTLY THERE, THERE IS A FENCE, UM, AND I'M NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY WHERE IT IS, BUT THE FENCE SURE.
UM, SO CURRENTLY THERE IS A FENCE AND WHATEVER'S THERE WILL BE REMOVED, UM, IN ADDITION TO THE ONE THAT YOU'RE TALKING AROUND TALKING ABOUT THAT'S ALONG THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY.
THERE IS ONE THAT IS A HALF CIRCLE AROUND THAT ENTRANCE OR ACCESS FROM THE SUITE THAT USED TO BE, UH, SMOKE AND FIRE.
BOTH OF THOSE WILL BE REMOVED.
UM, AND IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO, UH, THE OTHER, UM, MEANDERING WALKWAY TYPE FENCE THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED IN MARCH, UM, THAT NEVER WAS ACTUALLY INSTALLED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS APPROVED BY US, UM, AT THAT MEETING, THEY HAD ALREADY BEGAN THEIR DISCUSSIONS ON WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WITH REGARDS TO THIS DESIGN, THAT EX AND THAT EXISTING FENCE.
I, I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT THREE FEET HIGH IS ALL RIGHT.
I BELIEVE IT IS THREE FEET, YES.
UM, I, I THINK I'M OKAY FOR NOW.
ANYONE ELSE? I DO HAPPEN TO HAVE A QUESTION.
SO FOR THE DOOR ON THE WEST SIDE, CAN ANYBODY ENTER THROUGH THAT WAY TOO? UH, THE, THE CURRENT DOOR OR THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BE PROPOSED THAT'S GONNA BE THERE? YES, THAT, THAT'S GONNA BE AN ENTRANCE.
THEY WILL ALL BE ENTRANCES AND SO
[00:15:01]
IF I'M DINING AT THE OTHER RESTAURANT NEXT DOOR, I COULD GO IN AND JUST SIT THERE TO, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE DINING AT EL EL MORRO CHURRO, THERE IS NO INTERNAL ACCESS.IT, IT WOULD BE EXITING THE ROOF.
AND CAN I, IF IT'S GOLD MEAL AND I DECIDE TO EAT IT, CAN I GO INTO THAT AREA AND EAT IT? N UH, THIS IS SPECIFICALLY A NORTHGATE, IT WOULD BE JUST NORTHGATE.
WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FIRST FROM THE APPLICANT IF THEY'RE PRESENT AND WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION FOLLOWED BY ANYONE ELSE IN PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
CAN, CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE APPLICANT COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION IF THEY ARE PRESENT AND WISH TO DO SO? YES.
CAN YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE? CERTAINLY.
AND SPELL IT OUT FOR US? GOOD EVENING.
I AM A, UH, CONSULTANT, UH, TO NORTHGATE GONZALEZ, HELPING THEM WITH, UH, PERMITS AND LICENSES NECESSARY TO SELL ALCOHOL IN THEIR STORES IN CALIFORNIA.
I WAS HERE, I THINK I'VE BEEN HERE TWO OTHER TIMES.
SO, UM, THIS, UM, JUST TO ANSWER A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, UM, THE, THE PATIO WE HAD ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE ENTIRE PATIO, UM, THERE, BUT WHEN WE CAME FORWARD THE SECOND TIME, UM, THERE WAS SOME DISCREPANCIES ON, UM, ABOUT THE USE OF THAT PARTICULAR AREA AS IT HAD TO PERTAIN TO FIRE ACCESS.
SO WE WENT AHEAD AND, AND CAME FORWARD WITH THE SMALLER PATIO SIZE, UH, THAT THAT ENABLED US TO, UM, GET OUR TI PERMITS SO THAT WE COULD START WORKING.
THEN WE SAT DOWN WITH STAFF AND DISCUSSED ABOUT THE EXPANSION OVER THERE AND, AND STAFF, UM, AFTER ANALYZING IT PRETTY CAREFULLY HAD, HAD CONCLUDED THAT, UM, THERE IS NO FIRE ACCESS ISSUE THAT WE MEET ALL EXITING THERE.
UM, AND SO THAT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.
SO WE'RE COMING BACK FORWARD TO BASICALLY ASK YOU FOR WHAT WE INTENDED TO ASK FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BUT AGAIN, THE REASON WE, UM, DID NOT DELAY THAT FIRST, UH, THAT, THAT HEARING WAS BECAUSE WE WERE ON A TIME SQUEEZE TO GET SOME PERMITS PULLED, UM, SO THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY START CONSTRUCTION.
AND CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED, AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT, UH, MOST OF THE REMODEL WILL BE DONE IN SEPTEMBER, AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT PATIO WILL BE, UM, OPENED, UH, FULLY, UH, PROBABLY IN OCTOBER.
SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'VE, WE'VE MADE THE, UM, PROGRESS AND, AND, UH, INSTEAD OF DELAYING OUR, YOU KNOW, UM, THE LAST HEARING AND, UM, WE WERE ABLE TO WORK EVERYTHING OUT WITH STAFF.
UM, IN TERMS OF THE FENCING, UM, THERE IS AN EXISTING FENCE THERE THAT IS ONLY ABOUT THREE FOOT HIGH.
IT'S BEING REPLACED, UH, WITH A FOUR FOOT HIGH, UH, PLEXIGLASS, UM, FENCING, IS THAT RIGHT? PLEXIGLAS FENCING, UH, ALONG ALONG THAT NEW AREA THERE.
SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE FENCING AND WE THINK IT'S MORE ARCHITECTURALLY MORE PLEASING AND IT, AND IT IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN, UH, THE, THE LAST FENCE, AND IT'S A SOLID FENCE.
THEY CAN'T REALLY REACH YOUR HAND IN AND OUT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HE COULD ANSWER FOR US? I, I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO AHEAD AND JUST TRY AND GET A PERMIT FOR LIVE MUSIC?
WELL, THAT MAY BE IN THE WORKS.
I KNOW THAT IN OUR CUSTOM BASIS STORE, WE DO HAVE KINDA MARIACHIS AND, AND ENTERTAINMENT THERE AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE FIRST EXCITED JUST TO GET THIS OPEN AND THEN OBVIOUSLY WE MAY PROGRAM IT AND COME BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH, UH, WITH SOME ADDITIONAL ASKS TO, UH, JUST ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE FANTASTIC WHEN EVERYBODY SEES THAT, BUT, UH, UM, APPRECIATE THE SUGGESTION AND IT VERY WELL MAY BE, UH, YOU MAY VERY WELL SEE ME AGAIN, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,
COULD, COULD YOU CLARIFY WHERE THAT PLEXIGLASS FOREFOOT FENCING WOULD BE SOMEHOW ON THE MAP HERE? IT'S UM, SO YOU SEE THE BIG CIRCLE THERE, UH, THE, THE BLUE CIRCLE.
AND THEN, AND THEN THERE'S A RADIUS AROUND THAT, AND THAT'S A VERY DARK, UM, CIRCLE.
NOW JUST INSIDE OF THAT YOU'LL SEE KIND OF A SMALLER LINE.
DO YOU SEE THAT, THAT KIND OF CURVES? THERE'S THE FENCING.
SO IT'S GONNA GO, YOU CAN KIND OF WALK AROUND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG FOUNTAIN RIGHT THERE.
AND, AND SO YOU'VE, YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WALKWAY BETWEEN THE
[00:20:01]
FOUNTAIN AND THE, AND THE, AND THE, AND THAT, UM, SCREENING FENCE.AND THAT, WHERE THAT GREEN CIRCLE IS THERE.
YEAH, THAT'S, THERE'S A PURPLE LINE THAT'S GOING NORTH AND SOUTH.
THAT'S REALLY THE, THE WALL OF CORRECT.
WHAT USED TO BE THAT RESTAURANT.
SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING IN THERE NOW.
SO THAT PLEXIGLASS, FOUR FOOT FENCING IS GONNA GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT WALL THERE.
IS THAT, AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY? CORRECT.
SO ALMOST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST INSIDE THAT THICKER PURPLE LINE, BUT KIND OF RUNNING THE SAME ROUTE THAT CURVED LITTLE I SEE THE THIN LINE YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
AND THERE WOULD BE NO ENTRY THAT'D BE SOLID.
THERE'S JUST NO ENTRY INTO THAT AREA EXCEPT FOR THAT CIRCLE GREEN AT THE BOTTOM THAT JUST CAME UP ON THIS SLIDE.
AND THAT'S OPEN TO ANYBODY TO GO IN AND OUT.
YOU CAN USE IT AS AS AN ENTRANCE.
SO YOU COULD GO, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GO INTO THE STORE, YOU COULD GO IN THROUGH THAT ASH JUST TOOK IT AWAY, BUT YOU COULD GO IN, NOT THERE, YOU COULD GO IN THROUGH THERE AND THEN TURN RIGHT AND GO RIGHT INTO THE STORE.
AND ASH, THAT WHAT YOU JUST TOOK AWAY A MOMENT BEFORE THAT? THE WEST ONE? YEAH, THAT GO BACK AGAIN.
OH, WE'RE GOING THE WRONG THAT, THAT ONE.
SO THAT'S NOT GONNA EXIST ANYMORE.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BE BLOCKED, CORRECT? THAT'S THE, THE MAYBE ASK CAN TO EXPLAIN.
WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN IT, SORRY.
YEAH, SO, UM, YEAH, TO CLARIFY THE ACCESS POINTS THAT WILL BE THERE ARE THIS ONE THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE, UH, RESTAURANT SPACE TO THE WEST.
THE ONE THAT'S THROUGH NORTHGATE CURRENTLY, THE, THAT'S AN EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT THAT GOES TO THE BACK OF THE SITE, AND THIS IS WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING AWAY.
SO THERE WILL BE, IT'S JUST REALLY TIGHT.
I MEAN, THIS, THIS MAP LOOKS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY, YOU KNOW, THE LAYOUT HERE ISN'T WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE AERIAL ON MY PHONE AND FROM THE FOUNTAIN TO THE FRONT OF WHAT USED TO BE SMOKE AND FIRE, IT'S VERY TIGHT.
SO THERE'S GONNA BE A WALKWAY THERE, ASH IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, JUST NORTH OF THAT FOUNTAIN BEFORE THE BUILDING? YES.
SO, UM, ARE, ARE YOU LOOKING AT LIKE THE FRONT ELEVATIONS OF THAT BUILDING? WELL, I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING AT AN AERIAL, WHICH I THINK SHOWS THE SPACING BETTER THAN A FRONT ELEVATION WOULD.
SO IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT, UH, WHAT'S JUST ABOVE THAT FOUNTAIN, THERE IS A SWING OPEN DOORWAY THAT THEY'RE SHOWING IT'S GONNA BE A GATE AND THERE IS ADEQUATE ACCESS TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH THAT.
AND, AND SO THEIR PLEXIGLASS IS GONNA KINDA WRAP AROUND THE, THE BACK, RIGHT.
AS YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE PARKING LOT, THE BACK RIGHT OF THAT FOUNTAIN.
SO THE, SO ESSENTIALLY THE PLEXIGLASS OR THE, UH, THE WINDSCREEN IS GONNA BE THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THIS PURPLE LINE, OR SORRY, THIS PURPLE SHAPE THAT YOU SEE OVER HERE.
THE SOUTHERN PORTION IS GONNA BE THE WINDSCREEN AND IT'S GONNA WRAP AROUND ALL THE WAY TO WHERE THE, UH, EL MORRO, UH, CHURRO RESTAURANT IS GONNA BE THAT BUILDING.
AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I MEAN THE APPLICANT INDICATED THAT CONSTRUCTION'S ALREADY UNDERWAY, UM, THE PLANS FOR THAT CONSTRUCTION HAPPENED AND WERE APPROVED BY STAFF OUTSIDE OF, OF THE COMMISSION.
SO TO CLARIFY, THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE CURRENTLY OR THE PERMITS THEY'VE PULLED, PERTAIN TO WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE.
IF YOU REMEMBER BACK IN DECEMBER, WE STARTED OFF WITH THIS REMOVAL OF THE, THE DELI COUNTERS, THAT KIND OF STUFF, ADDING THE, UM, THE 64 SEATS, THE BAR AREA.
UM, THEY'VE BEGUN PULLING PERMITS ON THOSE.
AND THEN THE MODIFICATION THAT WE BROUGHT, UH, BROUGHT FORWARD IN MARCH WAS REGARDING A FENCE THAT WAS REQUIRED AROUND THE BAR AREA FOR A TYPE 48 THAT WAS NO LONGER REQUIRED SINCE IT MOVED TO A TYPE 47.
AND SO THEY BEGAN WITH THE, UH, PULLING OF PERMITS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT DURING THIS TIME.
AND SO THIS PURPLE PORTION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THE PLANS SHOW 112 SEATS, THOSE PLANS FOR THAT CONSTRUCTION.
[00:25:01]
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION? THIS MAY NOT BE A QUESTION FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU CAN ANSWER IT, GO RIGHT AHEAD.UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME SUBSEQUENTLY OR, I BELIEVE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BUILDING PLANS? CORRECT.
SO YOU APPROVE THE GENERAL USES AND WHAT'S PERMITTED UNDER ZONING AFTER THAT, THEN THE APPLICANT TURNS IN BUILDING PLANS FOR OUR BUILDING DIVISION AND THEY ARE, UM, ANALYZED IN WHETHER THEY'RE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE.
SO THEY'VE COMPLETED FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN PERMITTED UNDER THOSE BUILDING PERMITS, IT'S ONLY FOR THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANYTHING THAT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED BY YOU? CORRECT.
BUT EVERYTHING THAT'S EITHER PERMITTED BY RIGHT, OR YOU'VE ALREADY APPROVED, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THEY CAN PULL BUILDING PERMITS FOR.
I MEAN, BUILDING MAY PUSH BACK ON THOSE PLANS ONCE IT GETS TO THAT POINT AND IT MAY NOT BE 112 SEATS.
IS THAT FAIR? UM, 112 SEATS ARE WHAT'S PROPOSED IN THE LAYOUT THAT THEY'VE SHOWN ME.
UM, IF IT'S SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT, SURE.
A BUILDING WOULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OR, OR ENFORCED LIMITATIONS, BUT THE 104 THAT'S SHOWN HERE, UM, HAS BEEN ANALYZED BY STAFF WITH REGARD TO PARKING, WITH REGARD TO SPACING, UM, FIRE ACCESS.
SO THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN VETTED THOROUGHLY.
AND THE, THOSE ENTRY POINTS, I, I SEE THE SWINGING DOORS BELOW THAT RED CIRCLE RIGHT THERE IN THE SWINGING DOORS, UM, WHERE THERE WAS A GREEN CIRCLE ON A DIFFERENT SLIDE.
SO JUST TO CLARIFY AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, THOSE TWO ENTRY POINTS ARE FOR EVERYBODY THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, LIKE AN ENTRYWAY INTO, YOU KNOW, A, A BAR OR, OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY COULD ENTER THROUGH THOSE, NOT THE ONES THAT YOU'RE INDICATING THERE ON THIS, THAT ONE MM-HMM
AND THEN THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PURPLE, THAT ONE.
THAT'S JUST ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GO TO NORTHGATE, UM, TO THE RESTAURANT, TO THIS SEATING AREA, TO THE SHOPPING, UH, SUPERMARKET CAN GO IN THROUGH THOSE TWO ENTRY POINTS, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO, UM, PARTIALLY CORRECT, THE ONE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED RIGHT THERE MM-HMM
THAT'S THE ONLY ENTRYWAY INTO THE PATIO.
SO THE ONE GOING OUT IN FRONT OF WHAT USED TO BE SMOKE AND FIRE ON THE IS GONNA BE, IS INTENDED TO BE AN EXIT ONLY PANIC HARDWARE.
WE CAN ONLY GET OUT, WE CAN'T COME IN, CORRECT? JUST LIKE THE ONE AT THE REAR.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS ITEM? I, NO.
UM, WE WILL NOW CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL CALL THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.
MADAM VICE CHAIR, YOU ALSO NEED TO ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.
NOW WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION FOR THE PROPOSED ITEM.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, PLEASE COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM AND WE'LL ADDRESS AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
SINCE, UH, NO ONE CAME UP, WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL CALL FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS TO DISCUSS OR MAKE A MOTION.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26 DASH 12 TO APPROVE MODIFICATION 26 DASH TWO AND MODIFICATION 26 DASH THREE.
A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER MACHA AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LOGAN CANNON.
EVERYONE PLEASE ENTER YOUR VOTE.
MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO AND THIS WILL BECOME FINAL AND 10 WORKING DAYS UNLESS IT'S APPEALED TO CITY COUNCIL.
UM, TONIGHT'S SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A DUAL LEAVE NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 26 DASH ZERO THREE TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A COMMERCIAL RECREATION FACILITY, ALSO KNOWN AS SLICK CITY AT AT 10 20 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY, ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER ZERO 19 DASH 1 71 DASH 24.
DID WE RECEIVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM? NO, WE DID NOT.
MAD AND VICE CHAIR, THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? YES, WE DO.
[00:30:01]
PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.I'M JACOB LINGA, ASSOCIATE PLANNER.
UM, SO THIS, THE PROJECT SITE FEATURES AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING LOCATED WITHIN A EXISTING COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER, UM, LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND SOUTH IDAHO STREET.
THE CENTER IS COMPRISED OF THREE PARCELS WHICH SHARE COMMON OWNERSHIP.
INGRESS AND EGRESS IS PROVIDED BY TWO DRIVEWAYS LOCATED ON IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND TWO DRIVEWAYS LOCATED ON IDAHO STREET.
THE PROJECT TENANT SUITE IS ADDRESSED AS 10 20 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY, UM, AND IT WAS PREVIOUSLY OPERATED AS A BIG LOTS DEPARTMENT STORE UNTIL 2024.
UM, THE BUILDING HAS REMAINED VACANT SINCE THAT CLOSURE TO THE NORTH ACROSS, UH, IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.
THE PARCEL IS SURROUNDED BY A SMALL SHOPPING CENTER AND POST OFFICE TO THE EAST IS IMPERIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE SOUTH, THERE ARE A BUNCH OF MULTI-UNIT RESIDENCES AND TO THE WEST ACROSS IDAHO STREET.
UM, THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF SINGLE UNIT RESIDENCES AND THE PALM COURT SHOPPING CENTER.
THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO REMODEL THE INTERIOR OF THE EXISTING TENANT SUITE TO SERVE AS AN INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY AIMED AT CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
THERE'S NO EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE FACADE OR FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING PROPOSED AGAIN, WHILE THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING WILL REMAIN AS IS.
INTERIOR MODIFICATIONS INCLUDE CREATING A NEW PLAYGROUND AREA, UM, AN ASSEMBLY ROOM, A TODDLER PLAY AREA, A KITCHEN, UH, NEW RESTROOMS OFFICE, AND A STORAGE AREA.
FOOD IS PROPOSED TO BE PREPARED ON SITE AND CONSUMED ON SITE IN THE DESIGNATED SEATING AREAS AND ASSEMBLY ROOM.
THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL HAVE A VARIETY OF SPORTS COURTS, SEATING AREAS AND SLIDES, UM, WHICH REPLICATE THE ACCELERATION AND THRILL OF A WATER SLIDE, BUT THEY DON'T USE ANY WATER.
THE BUSINESS WOULD LIKE TO OPERATE FROM 10:00 AM TO 10:00 PM DAILY, AND STAFFING IS ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 45 TO 55 EMPLOYEES DURING PEAK HOURS AND APPROXIMATELY 30 EMPLOYEES DURING NON-PEAK HOURS.
SO THE APPLICANT, SLICK CITY, CURRENTLY OPERATES THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES IN 33 STATES NATIONWIDE, AND THEY CURRENTLY HAVE TWO OPEN CALIFORNIA FACILITIES LOCATED IN ONTARIO AND OCEANSIDE.
IN TOTAL, THE SHOPPING CENTER HAS 802 PARKING SPACES, UH, BECAUSE THE LAHABRA MUNICIPAL CODE DOES NOT SPECIFY A PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR COMMERCIAL RECREATION USE, THE APPLICANT WAS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PARKING IMPACT STUDY TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THE PROPOSED USE IN THIS PARKING STUDY, UM, WHICH WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER, IT CONCLUDED THAT DURING PEAK, WEEKDAY AND WEEKEND OPERATING HOURS, APPROXIMATELY 455 AND 243 PARKING SPACES RESPECTIVELY WERE AVAILABLE TO THE LOT OR AVAILABLE IN THE LOT PER HOUR.
WHILE THE PROPOSED USE IS ANTICIPATED TO ONLY REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 116 SPACES PER HOUR, UH, APPROVING THAT THERE WOULD BE LITTLE TO NO IMPACT ON THE SITE NOR THE SURROUNDING BUSINESSES, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE THIS PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
STAFF AND THE APPLICANT ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AT THIS TIME I WILL ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF.
UM, WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE, IN THE, WHAT IS THE LATEST, UM, HOUR? GOD, LET ME GET MY WORDS TOGETHER.
ARE ALL OF THE LOCATIONS THERE, ARE ANY OF THE OTHER ONES OPEN UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK? IS THAT THE LATEST THAT ANYTHING IS OPEN IN THAT SHOPPING CENTER? I AM NOT TOO CERTAIN ON THE HOURS OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE SHOPPING CENTER.
UM, I IMAGINE THAT THE TARGET BUSINESS, WHICH IS LOCATED DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR IS OPEN ABOUT THAT LATE.
UM, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO VERIFY ON WEEKDAYS AS WELL.
LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOP A TARGET 10 OR 11.
I CAN CONFIRM THAT THAT TARGET IS OPEN TILL 11:00 PM EVERY DAY.
WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FIRST FROM THE APPLICANT IF THEY ARE PRESENT AND WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION FOLLOWED BY ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE APPLICANT COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? THANK YOU.
CAN YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SPELL YOUR NAME, PLEASE? MY NAME IS MICAH TRAN AND SPELLED MYCA.
[00:35:01]
MY NAME IS MICAH TRAN WITH 360 AND WE ARE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT'S SLICK CITY ACTION PARK IN THEIR REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.SLICK CITY OPENED ITS FIRST LOCATION IN DENVER, COLORADO IN EARLY 2022, INTRODUCING THE NATION TO A FIRST OF ITS KIND INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE.
AND THE APPLICANT IS EXCITED TO BRING THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FAMILY FRIENDLY RECREATION FACILITY TO THE CITY OF LA HABRA.
SLICK CITY IS A WORLD'S FIRST INDOOR CLIMATE CONTROLLED SLIDE PARK BUILT WITH GIANT SLIDES THAT PROVIDE THE FEELING OF A WATER SLIDE, BUT WITHOUT THE WATER.
AND THEY ALSO PROVIDE AIR QUOTES THAT ALLOW USERS TO DEFY GRAVITY.
LITTLE ONES AGES FIVE AND UNDER WILL HAVE THEIR OWN PLAY AREAS AS WELL.
AND SLICK CITY WILL BE A GREAT PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GATHER FOR BIRTHDAYS, FUNDRAISERS, TEAM OUTINGS AND GROUP EVENTS ALL YEAR LONG, INNOVATION IS CORE TO THE BRAND.
THERE'S, UM, 63 PATENTS AND PATENT PENDING APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED FOR SLICK CITY'S PROPRIETARY SLIDES AND SLIDE MATS WITH MORE IN PROGRESS.
SLICK CITY IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING WHILE REDEFINING FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT AND BUILDING MOMENTUM AS A LEADER IN ACTION PARK INNOVATION.
THANK YOU AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.
CAN ADULTS GO DOWN THOSE SLIDES? YES, IT'S FOR ALL AGES.
UM, THERE'S ADULT TICKETS AS WELL AS, UH, JUNIOR TICKETS FOR THOSE THREE AND UNDER.
AND, UM, ADULTS CAN ALSO WAVE OUT OF OPTING TO, UM, THEY CAN JUST CHAPERONE BY, UM, FILLING OUT.
EVERYONE THAT COMES IN HAS TO FILL OUT A WAIVER, BUT ADULTS CAN DEFINITELY PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE ACTIVITIES.
AND WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN RENT IT FOR EVENTS, CAN YOU RENT THE ENTIRE FACILITY OR JUST THE CONFERENCE AREA? UM, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S, UM, LIKE THE PART OF THE ASSEMBLY AREA, UM, BUT I, I'LL LOOK INTO THAT.
I BELIEVE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RENT OUT THE WHOLE FACILITY AS WELL, LIKE A TAKEOVER.
YEAH, I'LL, I'LL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE ITEM? NO.
WE WILL NOW HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED ITEM.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN PROPO IN OPPOSITION, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
SINCE WE HAD NO ONE, WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PODIUM, UM, THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL CALL THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS FOR A DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.
UM, IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR SINCE 22 OR 24.
SINCE 24, UM, FOR A LONG TIME.
I MEAN, IT FEELS LIKE LONGER THAN THAT TO BE HONEST.
UM, IT'S GONNA CREATE A LOT OF JOBS.
UM, I, I I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
UM, I'D BE PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM MY COLLEAGUES.
A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER MANLEY AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MACHA.
WILL THAT WORK? I DON'T THINK THAT WAS A, A GOOD ENOUGH MOTION TO THE ATTORNEY.
UH, I GUESS IT'D BE A PREFERRED IF YOU COULD CLEARLY STATE WHAT THE MOTION IS.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26 DASH 13 TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER MANLEY AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MACHA.
MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO AND THIS WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IN 10 WORKING DAYS UNLESS IT'S APPEALED TO CITY COUNCIL.
MOVING FORWARD, ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM STAFF? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
I'D JUST LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR PLANNING TEAM WHO HAPPENS TO BE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE.
HIS NAME IS GUS GRAU AND GUS HAS BEEN HIRED AS OUR, UH, NEWEST ASSISTANT PLANNER.
UH, PLEASE WELCOME HIM AND GUS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO JUST SAY A FEW WORDS AND APPROACH THE PODIUM COMMISSIONERS.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE.
I'M REALLY GLAD THEY'RE HIRING MORE PEOPLE.
AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I'D ALSO LIKE THE COMMISSION TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO ITEMS READY TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THE AUGUST 10TH MEETING.
AS A RESULT, THE MEETING WILL BE CANCELED AND THE COMMISSION'S NEXT REGULAR MEETING WILL BE ON AUGUST 24TH.
