PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 6C MARCH 16, 2017 SUMMARY AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS The project would upgrade an existing Type 42 Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license to a Type 41 ABC License for a bona fide public eating establishment to allow employees of the market to serve beer and wine on site during special events. The market, under Case No. 15-300 MIN/CDP, is authorized to serve wine and beer during cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, community events and private parties on the premises through a Type 42 ABC License. The Type 42 License does not allow Seaside Market employees to service alcohol to patrons on the premises. The Type 41 Beer and Wine license allows minors to be within the service areas and allows the employees of the Market to serve to their patrons within one of the Mezzanine areas only. The Type 42 Beer and Wine license will be replaced with a Type 41 ABC License. The proposed Type 41 ABC license will not change the operation characteristics of the existing use other than to allow service of beer and wine for these accessory uses to the principal market use. The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a Minor Use Permit Modification and Coastal Development Permit, modifying a previous license and service area previously approved by the Commission. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting to change the current Type 42 ABC license to a Type 41 ABC license, which allows the Seaside Market employees to pour beer and wine for tastings and events and allows minors to be present (typical of a Grocery Store Market and public eating places) in one of the mezzanine areas only. An ancillary café (or seating area available to the public) will occupy the Mezzanine area as part of this modification, when the area is not being used for other related cooking classes, meetings, etc. The existing total market area is 19,644 square feet. There are two existing mezzanine areas located at the back of the market. One consists of 1,570 square feet and the other consists of 1,165 square feet. PROJECT ANALYSIS Background The City approved Case No. 14-054 DR/CDP to construct exterior improvements and an expansion of the existing Seaside Market within the Cardiff Town Center. Exterior improvements included modifications to the entrance of the market and existing courtyard including outdoor seating areas. As part of Case No. 14-054 DR/CDP approval, the market was authorized to use the 1,165-square foot mezzanine for cooking demonstrations, nutritional classes, wine and micro-brewery educational tasting sessions (which is consistent with their current alcohol beverage control license and is a permitted use), ancillary café/seating area and public meeting space for groups as ancillary uses to the market. The existing mezzanine consisting of 1,570 square feet will continue to be utilized as office space for the market. The Seaside Market currently possesses a Type 21 (Off-sale general) and a Type 86 (Educational Tasting License) ABC Licenses. The applicant had requested an ABC Type 42 license (Beer and Wine, Public Place), which was approved by the Planning Commission under MARCH 16, 2017 ITEM 6C 2 of 54
PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 6C MARCH 16, 2017 Case No. 15-300 MIN/CDP for the market expansion, including the mezzanine area. The applicant is requesting a Type 41 license to replace the Type 42 license. Project Site Characteristics: General Plan: General Commercial (GC) Specific Plan: Cardiff Specific Plan (CSP) Zoning District: C-GC1 (General Commercial 1) Zoning Overlay: Coastal Overlay Community Character Context: Village Center Other Key City Plan: None Notable State or Regional Plan and Law: None The project site is zoned General Commercial 1 (C-GC1) in the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Specific Plan area. The C-GC1 zone is intended to provide for a wide range of general commercial developments including restaurants, office and general retail uses. The project site is previously developed and is located within the Village Center Community Character Context. The Village Center Community Character Context consists of primarily retail land uses, mixed-use commercial/residential uses and stand-alone single-family and twinhome residential uses. The existing Seaside Market is located in an in-line shop within a commercial center on San Elijo Avenue. Adjacent Area: Direction General Plan & Community Character Land Use Zoning District Context North GC/C-GC1 Village Center Commercial retail South GC/C-GC1 Village Center Commercial retail East GC/C-GC2 Village Center Commercial retail West TC/TC Village Center Rail Corridor The existing land uses surrounding the project site include a mix of commercial development to the north, south and east. The rail corridor is to the west across San Elijo Avenue. General Plan Consistency The Cardiff-by-the-Sea Specific Plan applies to the project site. The General Plan and Local Coastal Plan Compliance is associated with Chapter 8.0 of the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Specific Plan. The existing market use is consistent with the General Commercial (GC) General Plan designation. Given that the market is existing and a Type 42 alcohol license is present on the premises, the proposed change of alcohol license, consisting of a Type 41 alcohol license to allow Seaside Market employees to serve alcohol for various cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, community events, ancillary café/seating area and private parties on the premises within the second story mezzanine area is consistent with the existing condition and the General Plan.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 6C MARCH 16, 2017 General Plan Goal or Policy of DESP LU Policy 1.14: The City will maintain and enhance the Hwy 101 commercial corridor by providing appropriate community-serving tourist-related and pedestrianoriented uses. LU Policy 6.5: The design of future development shall consider the constraints and opportunities that are provided by adjacent existing development. Explanation of Project Conformance The proposed use, as conditioned, will provide a diversified experience as it relates to various tastings and cooking classes for those living in the community. The use will complement the commercial activities that exist within the Cardiff area and specifically, those uses located on the street frontage of San Elijo Avenue. The proposed alcohol service is compatible with the existing surrounding commercial uses, and as conditioned, will not negatively affect the residential development that is located to the east of the project site. An alcohol license already exists on this property. Municipal Code Analysis The project proposes to modify the existing Minor Use Permit for the existing market to authorize a Type 41 ABC License allowing the market employees to serve wine and beer for on site consumption associated with cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, community events and private parties, and utilize it as a small cafe within the Seaside Market. Development Standard Project Proposed Complies? Land Use Pursuant to the Cardiff Specific Plan (Zoning Use Matrix) markets with ancillary sale of alcohol require approval of a Minor Use Permit in the C-GC1 zone. (See Minor Use Permit discussion below) Yes No Setbacks, Lot Coverage, FAR, The existing market conforms to the C- Yes No and Building Height GC1 requirements. Parking No additional parking required. Yes No Parking No new floor area proposed with this request. Therefore, no additional parking is required. The mezzanine areas, along with the expansion of the market, which occurred as part of Case No. 14-054 DR/CDP factored in and grandfathered parking for these areas. However, the existing parking spaces must remain and shall not be reduced without approval from the Planning and Building Department. Minor Use Permit Modification The project is requesting approval of a Minor Use Permit Modification and Coastal Development Permit to allow on site consumption of beer and wine associated with cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, community events and private parties within the Seaside Market. These ancillary uses with the onsite sale of beer and wine with Type 41 ABC license is requires a public restaurant component, which is being shown within the mezzanine area. This area was previously approved, however; the ABC license Type 42 ABC license was not the correct type associated for the use as it is currently proposed. MARCH 16, 2017 ITEM 6C 4 of 54
PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 6C MARCH 16, 2017 The project complies with all applicable policies of the General Plan, applicable provisions of the Municipal Code and the Cardiff Specific Plan. The project would be required to comply with all applicable Building and Fire codes through reliance on this Minor Use Permit Modification. The existing market with on-site service and consumption of beer and wine is currently operating without specific operational conditions. The original approval was under County jurisdiction and did not include these conditions since it was not required at the time of approval. The proposed request includes operational conditions that contain specific operation characteristics and alcohol service limitations for the market space. Specific operation characteristics include: The proposed hours of operation for the market Mezzanine area is: o Monday thru Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the interior (existing hours/no change). No live entertainment is proposed. Only house music would be present within the market and mezzanine area. The Sheriff reviewed the project and had no comments. As a condition, the applicant is required to obtain a Type 41 license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to authorize the site to allow employees to pour alcohol for tastings and events with the Seaside Market retail operation and allow minors to be present within the Market area. The Type 41 ABC license authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption and must be obtained prior to initiating any use in reliance on this minor use permit. A small café/seating area is proposed within the existing mezzanine space on the second floor which is considered ancillary to the existing market. The café will allow existing market customers to utilize a portion of seating inside the market area when it is not being used for cooking classes, meetings, etc. Coastal Development Permit The proposed project is located within the Coastal Zone of the City of Encinitas and requires approval of a regular Coastal Development Permit. Adherence to the development standards within the Encinitas Municipal Code, Cardiff Specific Plan and the goals and policies of the Encinitas General Plan the project will be consistent with the City s adopted Local Coastal Program. The project is not within the Coastal Commission s appeal jurisdiction. PUBLIC NOTICE AND PARTICIPATION Public Notice Notice of this public hearing was mailed on March 3, 2017, to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project site and to anyone who requested such notice in writing, in compliance with Municipal Code Section 30.01.070 and Government Code Sections 65090, 65091 and 65092, as applicable. Additionally, as a courtesy, the notice was posted at City Hall and on the Planning and Building Department s Internet site under Public Notices and via e- Project Source.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 6C MARCH 16, 2017 Citizen Participation Program The applicant submitted a Citizen s Participation Program (CPP) in accordance with Section 23.06 of the Municipal Code. All owners and tenants were notified of the CPP meeting and proposed project. The neighborhood meeting was held on Saturday, December 16, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. According to the CPP Final Report (Attachment PC-5), no members of the public attended the meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS It has been determined that the proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301(a). Section 15301(a) exempts projects involving negligible or interior alterations to an existing space. The proposed project is a change of alcohol service within an existing market and mezzanine area and the proposed project allows the additional use of an ancillary cafe, as it is merely modifying an existing service, which is accessory to the principal use. None of the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 exist for the proposed project. DISCUSSION The proposed Minor Use Permit Modification and Coastal Development Permit will authorize the sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption within an existing market mezzanine area. The project site is zoned C-GC1. According to the zoning standards of the Cardiff Specific Plan, the C-GC1 zone is intended to provide a wide range of mixed-use activities, including retailing, and service uses, to accommodate Citywide or regional needs. The existing market is located on San Elijo Avenue, which contributes to the day-to-day commercial needs of the community. Land Use Compatibility The purpose of this Minor Use Permit Modification is to review the proposed project, which may involve special site or design requirements, operating characteristics, or may have potential adverse effects on the surrounding area, and impose special conditions of approval as necessary. The operational characteristics of the use have been reviewed and analyzed and it has been determined that the proposed use (ancillary alcohol service within an existing market) will not adversely affect adjacent uses, residences, buildings, structures, or natural resources. The existing market with mezzanine structures located on the second floor area is compatible with the surrounding uses. Several other general retail establishments, commercial services, and restaurant uses are located along San Elijo Avenue. The closest residential uses are located to the east behind existing commercial uses. No adverse impacts to the adjacent residential uses are anticipated. The San Diego Sheriff s Department reviewed the proposed project and had no comments. Additionally, there are no code enforcement complaints on file for this establishment.
