Welch for a use permit to allow a delicatessen and sandwich shop in an industrial building located on property known as 540 Division Street in a CM:B-40 (Controlled Manufacturing) Zoning District. Mr. Kee reported to the Commission that staff is recommending approval of this application subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet. He further stated that staff is recommending a two-year limitation on this use permit in order that the Commission might review it should problems occur in this two-year time period. Commissioner Lubeckis expressed his opposition of the selling of wine and beer in such a facility. He felt this sale would present problems, especially with persons working with machinery. He also felt that additional traffic might be generated which would present another problem since it is planned to cul-de-sac this street. At this time Mr. Helms stated that it is planned to cul-de-sac this street at some future time; however, a standard cul-de-sac would be able to handle the traffic generated by this type of facility. Commissioner Campos inquired of Mr. Kee if there were similar approved uses in the city. Mr. Kee responded that to his knowledge there were two similar restaurant uses and thus far no problems have occurred. He again stated that staff is recommending a two-year limitation in order that any problems occurring could be brought to the Commission's attention before renewal. At this time Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Peter Welch, applicant, appeared before the Commission to explain the operation of the proposed restaurant. He stated that this company has been in business for 20 years and has operated at West Valley College, St. Francis High School, and local electronics facilities. Mr. Les Pelio, owner of the property, appeared before the Commission to report that several delicatessen proprietors had approached him regarding this type of use in the building; however, he felt they were too large and was looking for something on a smaller scale in order to prevent traffic and parking problems from occurring. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. Much discussion ensued regarding imposing a condition on this application which would prohibit the sale of beer and wine. -5- Acting City Attorney Muhlfelder stated that he felt a condition such as that could not be imposed; he stated the applicant maintained an "up front" position and felt this should be commended. RESOLUTION N0. 1684 Commissioner Samuelson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1684 approving the application of Mr. Peter F.

Mr. Helms apologized to the Commission for the absence of a Public Works Department representative at the last Commission meeting. He asked the Commission if there were any questions regarding the text or the map on the Circulation Element. Commissioner Hebard inquired if the text was of the same wording as the present plan. Mr. Helms noted that there were quite a few changes; the classification of streets was one noted change, since staff felt the existing classifications were too broad. Commissioner Hebard expressed concern about the reclassification of what he felt were residential streets to Class II Collector streets. Mr. Helms explained the only distinct difference between Class I and Class II Collector streets is the level of service and volume of vehicles per day. He went on to explain the different classifications of streets and uses of each. .7_ Commissioner Vierhus mentioned that at the present time there is a petition before the City Council to change McBain Avenue to a one-way street. He wondered if this would be part of the Circulation Element and if it should be considered at this time. Mr. Kee stated that since the petition is before the City Council at the present time the Commission has not been requested to consider it and therefore should not take action on it. Commissioner Dickson stated that the present text and map reflect what was brought up at the special study session on the Circulation Element. At this time Chairman Pack invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Tom Baxter of 1845 S.
