Pre-Application for a Use Permit to allow the use of an existing commercial space
for a retail tobacco store, smoker's lounge and food services at 2053 S.
Winchester Boulevard.
Dear Mr. Tzaghrali:
Thank you for your preliminary application for the establishment of a retail tobacco store,
smoker's lounge and food services at 2053 S. Winchester Boulevard.
The project site is located in a P-D Zoning District (Planned Development) and the General Plan
Designation is Central Commercial.
Your application was distributed to the Public Works Department, Building Division, Planning
Division, County Fire Department, City Attorney and the Police Department. Comments from
the Building Division and the City Attorney are attached. Below, please find comments from the
Planning Division. Please note that these are intended as preliminary only and additional
comments and requirements may be forthcoming upon submittal of a Use Permit application.
The Public Works Department comments are not available at this time and will be mailed under
separate cover.
The proposed project will require approval of a Use Permit by the Planning Commission. In
reviewing a Use Permit application, planning staff and the Planning Commission will evaluate
such items as traffic generation, noise, hours of operation, adequacy of parking, circulation,
drop-off facilities and overall compatibility of the use with adjoining properties.
Parking
The Zoning Code requires one parking space per 3 seats for food establishments. Your pre-
application indicates approximately 24 seats, resulting in a parking requirement for eight (8)
parking spaces. The other uses in the building require 13 spaces, resulting in a parking demand

for a total of 21 spaces. The existing property has six parking spaces, resulting in a deficiency of
15 parking spaces.
Off-site parking spaces may be considered to meet this requirement, however the Planning
Commission may consider the location, current use and future uses of the land proposed for the
off-site parking spaces. Additionally, a binding covenant, running with the land would be
required to assure these spaces would be available as long as the business is in operation.
Due to the high number of spaces, and the high proportion of the total (71 %) that would
be located off-site, the Planning Division is not be supportive of this proposal at this
location. The Planning Division would recommend that the Planning Commission DENY
the Use Permit.
Smoking:
A number of draft Conditions of Approval have been included that address smoking within the
building. The goal of these conditions is to assure compliance with local and state laws and to
limit the exposure of people in adjacent building spaces to second hand smoke.
Noise
The requested hours of operation (open until midnight and 2:00 AM) may be in conflict with the
existing residential uses on the property. Additional information would be needed for the
Planning Division to form a recommendation. For examples, hours of the outdoor seating area,
method of ventilation, etc.
Plans
The plans submitted with the preliminary application will need to be modified for the Use
Permit application submittal. Additional information is needed. This includes:
A. PLOT PLAN CLEARLY SHOWING:
1. Distance from centerline of adjacent street(s) to property line(s).
2. Proposed or existing street improvements dimensioned from the center line of the street (curb, gutter,
sidewalks, driveways, tree wells, etc.).
