TITLE:

Public Hearing:  PZ-23-00166-02 Single Speed Coffee Lab, 1000 E Butler Ave Suite 111A & 111B.
Conditional Use Permit Request
 

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

In accordance with the findings presented in this report, staff recommends that the request for the CUP be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission with the requirements included in Conditional Use Permit No. PZ-23-00166-02 and as follows:
  1. The development of the site shall substantially conform to the plans as presented with the Conditional Use Permit application.

Executive Summary:

This is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request from Logan and Courtney Talley, for 1000 E Butler Avenue Suite 111A & 111B (APN 104-07-005Y). The CUP is for a Cafe use, for the existing Single Speed Coffee Lab located in Suite 111A. 

Financial Impact:

None.

Policy Impact:

The conditional use is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purpose of the Zone in which the site is located.
 
“The Light Industrial (LI) zone applies to areas of the City appropriate for clean and quiet industries in proximity to commercial development, including manufacturing, warehousing, and related uses with limited and screened exterior storage. The LI zone establishes a transitional area between commercial and heavy industrial areas; while at the same time it is applied to areas of the City as a freestanding industrial zone.” (Flagstaff Zoning Code 10-40.30.050)
 
The LI zone allows Café uses with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The primary reason for the CUP is to protect the uses that are allowed by right which may be incompatible with the use needing a CUP.  The current use of a Coffee Roastery is permitted outright as General Light Industrial use. The conditionally permitted Café use and supplementary retail area is complementary to the main Light Industrial use.
 

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

None.

Background and History:

Section 10-40.30.050.B of the Flagstaff Zoning Code, Industrial Zone – Allowed Uses, identifies Restaurant or Café as an allowed land use in the Light Industrial (LI) Zone subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. Section 10-80.20 of the Flagstaff Zoning Code defines “Restaurant or Café” by the following definition: “An establishment whose principal business is the sale of food and/or beverages to customers in a ready-to-consume state, and whose principal method of operation includes one or both of the following characteristics: 1) customers, normally provided with an individual menu, are served their foods and beverages by a restaurant employee at the same table or counter at which food and beverages are consumed; 2) a cafeteria-type operation where food and beverages generally are consumed within the restaurant building.”
 
The applicant for this CUP has been operating the coffee roasting operation and storage in Suite 111A of the multi-tenant building at 1000 E Butler Avenue. In order to operate as a Café and allow for customer-oriented operations in the newly acquired Suite 111B, they are requesting a CUP for a Café use in both Suite 111A and Suite 111B.
 
The subject property is approximately 2.62 acres, and Suites 111A and 111B total 2,428 sq. ft. of the site. This multi-tenant building is situated along E Butler Avenue, is located across from the Rio de Flag Business Park, and is a quarter mile away from Aspen Place at Sawmill. This location is also within a quarter mile from bus stops to NAIPTA Mountain Line’s Route 2 and Route 7. The subject property is not within an Activity Center or Pedestrian Shed as depicted in the Regional Plan. There is no Resource Protection Overlay over this subject property.
