7. Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a deli and gaming room within a
convenience store located at 4490 Bob Street in an NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
District.
Minutes - May 2, 2017
Iqbal Tanveer has asked to open a Deli and game room inside the existing convenience
store located at 4490 Bob Street. The store is located at the southeast corner of the
property located between Bob, Raven and West Virginia Streets, and is surrounded by
residential single family properties. The property was rezoned from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District in November of 2003. At that
time, the owner requested a rezoning to NC to accommodate the existing convenience
store and a barber shop, but not a Deli. Given that a Deli would require an SUP in an NC
zone, the request for the existing Deli is being made along with the proposed game room.
With regard to the proposed request, there is concern over the proposed parking. First,
although it is difficult to determine as dimensions are not shown on the proposed site plan,
the parking appears to be non -conforming as the arrangement of the parking stalls result in
vehicles backing directly in to the narrow Bob street, a street with sixty (60) feet of right-of-
way.
The Ordinance states, 'Any existing building oruse thatis enlarged, structurallyaltered, or
remodeled to the extent, in the judgment of the planning director and building official, of
increasing or changing the use by more than fifty (50) percent as it existed at the effective
date of this chapter shall be accompanied by off-street parking for the entire building or use
in accordance with the off-street parking regulations set forth in this section. When the
enlargement, structural alteration, or remodeling is to the extent that the use is not
increased or changed by more than fifty (50) percent, additional off-street parking shall only
be required for the increased or changed floor area or use. "
Given this requirement of the ordinance, the use has changed from a convenience store to
a convenience store and barber shop, a convenience store and Deli and now proposed is a
convenience store, Deli and a gaming site. Given this degree of use change, the parking
should be brought into full compliance with the ordinance. With the resubmittal of the site
plan showing additional parking and updated letter stipulating a maximum of five (5) "eight -
liner machines", Engineering has conditionally approved the parking plan.
Of greater concern is the proposed use. While the convenience store and Deli would be
compatible with the single-family homes that are immediately surrounding the property on
the north, south, east and west, the gaming site would not. Even though the application is
asking to only have five (5) "eight -liner machines", with this number, the character of the
use changes from an accessory use nature that a convenience store might have with one
or two machines to a primary use of a game room. In this case, it is important to look
closely at the NC -Neighborhood Commercial zoning description which calls for "...sale of
convenience goods or personal services primarily for persons residing in adjacent
residential areas...". Based on this, the proposed convenience store and Deli would be
compatible, while the game room would not.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on April 17, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended
8:0 to approve a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a deli only and not the gaming
room within a convenience store, located at 4490 Bob Street in an NC (Neighborhood
Commercial) District with the following condition:
4. All parking areas must be paved and striped per City Ordinance.
