and require employees serving alcohol to undergo a training program, such as TIPS (Training <br /> for Intervention Procedures), that is designed to prevent intoxication, underage drinking, and <br /> drunk driving. <br /> In addition, based on the proposed operation and the anticipated peak periods of time <br /> described in the project narrative, staff does not anticipate negatively affecting adjacent <br /> properties. Moreover, the lounge's peak operating hours would occur on weekends and after <br /> 6 p.m. on weekdays, which would help minimize parking and circulation impacts due to overlap <br /> with the operating hours of some of the other retail and office uses occupying the subject site. <br /> Staff has included conditions of approval that will ensure the proposed use would not generate <br /> noise, traffic, or parking shortages such that surrounding uses would be adversely affected. <br /> Therefore, from a land use perspective, staff finds the proposed use to be acceptable on the <br /> site, as conditioned. Should future problems arise with the proposed use, the City would have <br /> the ability to bring the application back to the Planning Commission for mitigation, or possible <br /> permit revocation, if necessary. Based on the discussion above, staff believes that such an <br /> action would be unlikely. <br /> Traffic and Circulation <br /> The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the project narrative and plan that was prepared <br /> for the proposed use, and has determined that the proposed hours of operation and the <br /> associated number of attendees would not have a significant impact on existing traffic levels. <br /> Additionally, the anticipated peak hours for the proposed use would not coincide with the <br /> AM/PM peak hour traffic in the City. <br /> Parking <br /> There are approximately 476 parking spaces available on-site within the Valley Plaza shopping <br /> center. Axe lounges are not listed in the off-street parking space requirement section of the <br /> PMC. However, bowling alleys, which staff considers to be similar in use and anticipated <br /> parking generation, are listed in the PMC and require five spaces for each alley. Based on this <br /> requirement, the proposed use would require a total of 35 parking stalls for the seven axe <br /> throwing lanes/alleys. Since the proposed shopping center shares parking with uses that have <br /> varying peak times as well as varying hours of operations (including some that are closed on <br /> the weekends or during the lounge's peak operating times), staff believes that the shared 476 <br /> parking spaces would be sufficient to accommodate the proposed use. In addition, staff has <br /> not observed or received any comments in the past regarding parking shortages at the center. <br /> As noted earlier in this report, reservations would be staggered to reduce crowding inside the <br /> facility, which would also help reduce parking demand. Staff also believes that it is likely that <br /> some patrons would carpool together to the facility, further reducing parking demand. <br /> Based on the above parking analysis, staff believes that the proposed use would not adversely <br /> affect parking supply within the subject center or surrounding properties and that adequate <br /> parking exists on-site to accommodate all existing and proposed uses. However, should <br /> parking problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of <br /> Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible <br /> additional mitigation measures to be applied. <br /> P19-0140, 1809 Santa Rita Road, Suite A and B Planning Commission <br /> 6 of 8 <br />
