San Bruno Planning Commission Meeting June 15, 2010 5b. 460 A San Mateo Ave.

B
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
as
stated,
the
applicant
has
applied
for
a
use
permit
to
operate
a
used
bookstore
within
the
central
business
zone.
A
district
the
site
is
located
on
the
east
side
of
san
mateo
avenue
in
the
400
block
is
currently
developed
with
a
commercial
building
that
has
two
storefronts
one
storefront
is
currently
vacant,
and
the
other
storefront
is
currently
occupied
by
a
restaurant.
The
vacant
storefront
measures
approximately
450
square
feet
and
is
developed
with
a
storage
room,
one
bathroom
and
an
open,
large
display
area.
B
B
One
thing
that
is
important
to
note
is
the
reason
why
we're
here
tonight
is
that
the
project
requires
a
use
permit,
because
for
their
use
of
secondhand
sales.
This
is
something
that
will
probably
revisit
during
the
zoning
code
update
and
possibly
could
be
allowed
out
right.
Nevertheless,
the
use
permit
is
required
at
this
time
when
looking
at
the
use
permit
application.
We
really
looked
at
the
surrounding
businesses
on
San,
mattel,
Avenue
and,
as
you
know,
there
consists
many
commercial
retail
establishments
as
well
as
restaurants
and
various
commercial
recreation
facilities.
B
Staff
does
find
that
this
proposed
use
is
consistent
with
the
retail
establishments
on
san
mateo
avenue.
Additionally,
the
boat
traffic
will
increase
during
monday
and
wednesday
evenings
when
the
book
club
members
and
meet
at
the
site,
which
will
benefit
the
surrounding
businesses.
Staff,
is
supporting
the
project
and
recommends
the
Planning
Commission
approve
the
use
permit
application
based
on
findings,
Effect
1
through
3
and
conditions
of
approval
1
through
13
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Ok,.
A
C
Is
all
about
joseph
richard
and
I'm
the
originator
of
the
so-called
of
house?
The
place
will
be
called
of
house,
it's
a
501c3
nonprofit
corporation
and
I
have
been
operating
in
south
san
francisco
for
a
year
pretty
successfully,
but
the
rent
there
was
kind
of
prohibitive,
so
I
in
this
new
place
in
san
bruno
was
the
year.
The
lease
was
much
better,
so
I
decided
to
move.
C
I'm,
retired,
clergyman
and
I
thought
this
was
my
project
to
instead
of
spending
10
hours
a
day,
watching
television
I
thought
to
do
something
worthwhile
for
the
community.
My
ideal
is
to
I
think
in
our
margin
society.
If
we
could
get
people
to
read
and
to
think
more,
and
so
that's
the
idea
of
affordable
books
and
then
this
idea
book
clubs,
if
I,
can
anybody
interested
to
form
for
clubs
or
sort
of
support
groups,
perhaps
for
parenting
or
psychological
book
discussion
clubs,
things
of
that
sort,
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say.

A
Other
questions
of
the
applicant
from
the
cursors
okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
very
much
and
I-
will
now
open
it
up
to
the
public.
Anybody
in
public
wishing
to
speak
on
the
side
and
please
step
to
the
microphone
seeing
none
I
will
close
it
and
bring
it
back
to
the
commissioners
for
discussion.
Action.
