ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
B-1. SPR-03-2024 MOHAMED & EHAD ALHADAI – Request for a Site Plan Review
for a proposed take-out restaurant and tobacconist shop located at 69006 Main
Street (APN: 50-07-03-35-487-004).
City Planner Jeschke indicated the requested development meets the ordinance
requirements however the parking access and layout is troublesome with the proposed
uses. Both uses are inline and are ideal businesses for downtown. There are adequate
parking spaces, three (3) on Division and three (3) on Main Street. Administration did
not make any recommendations but rather let the Commission discuss the application.
The applicant indicated the proposed restaurant will not have any seating as it will be a
take-out only facility. There are plans for two (2) staff to be present at any given time in
the restaurant and one (1) at the tobacco shop.
Motion #1
Motion by Rix, seconded by Moore, to Approve the requested Site Plan Review for a
proposed take-out-restaurant and tobacconist shop on 0.17 acres of property located at
69006 Main Street (APN: 50-07-03-35-487-004)), subject to the following condition(s):
1. The parking on the property shall be striped to indicate the parking spaces.
Additionally, the southernmost parking space on the Main Street side shall be
striped with an eight foot wide hatched access aisle and shall be indicated as a
handicap accessible parking stall.
2. The applicant shall submit the sign permits for all proposed wall and freestanding
signage that meets or exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirements.

3. The applicant and property owner shall work with the City and adjacent property
owners on storm-water drainage and paving of the parking lot at the rear of this
property. Failure to have the rear parking lot paved within one-year of approval
may result in revocation of this approval.
Discussion on motion:
Commissioners expressed concern with the location of the proposed businesses due to
parking constraints. Furthermore, backing out onto Main Street may be troublesome
due to the intersection.
It was recommended that the northeast side of the building be paved for additional
parking.
Commissioner Rix asked if handicapped spaces are mandated for businesses. Planner
Jeschke indicated handicapped spaces are only mandated on new construction.
Motion #2
Motion by Rix, seconded by Moore, to Approve the requested Site Plan Review for a
proposed take-out-restaurant and tobacconist shop on 0.17 acres of property located at
