FILE: 2358-P ____________________________________________________________________________ STAFF REPORT Prentiss Semien is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a small wholesale food preparation facility at 1195 Grand Street. Mr. Semien plans to prepare, cook and package pork skins, also known as cracklins. The cracklins will be packaged for wholesale distribution. The property was previously used as a meat market. Hours of operation will be 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. with a store front from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., with the largest shift having 5 employees. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for water and sanitary sewer services, including any requirements of the City's pre-treatment program. 2. The van accessible handicap spot is not ADA compliant. The spot must be 11-ft wide with a 5-ft access aisle on the passenger side if the vehicle were pulled into the spot. It is recommended that the handicap spot be moved to spot 4 and have the access aisle located in spot 5. This would also allow easier access to the ramp leading to the entrance. The handicap spot currently shown could then become a regular parking spot. 3. Provide off street parking for a total of eight (8) vehicles. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
