B. Notice of the director of community development's decisions shall be provided to the planning commission. Such decision is subject to appeal in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.144. Similar provisions are included in DSP Policies LD-P.18 and LD-P.19 noted in the previous section. The intent of DSP Policy LD-P.18 and PMC 18.81.020 is to provide some flexibility to accommodate a non-active use in conjunction with an active use, with the 25-percent requirement specified to ensure a.) the active component will be the more prominent "storefront" use, when viewed from Main Street and b.) it constitutes more than a token amount of active use within the overall space. With respect to DSP Policy LD-P.18 and PMC Section 18.81.020, based on the updated information provided by the applicant, a dedicated retail component would be incorporated into the tenant space. The first 21 feet, 6 inches (32-percent of the depth of tenant space) would be dedicated for retail display and merchandise (see Figure 3 above). The applicant proposes to sell skincare products, vitamins, tea, water bottles, and water ionizer and filtration systems and has obtained a seller's permit with the State of California for this component of the business. A cash register with point-of-sale system is proposed and the hours of operation are 11:30a.m. to 6p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 12-5p.m. on Saturday, with the business closed on Sunday and Monday, which is consistent with many retail businesses in downtown. The hours of operation are printed on the front of the business door and on the front window adjacent to Main Street. The awning over the tenant space includes signage reading "Sculptsations" on the first line and "Cleanse, Tone, Hydrate, Detox" on the second line (see Figure 4 below).

The configuration of the tenant space is such that it would have a storefront frontage of less than 10 feet (as determined by the director of community development) on a designated active street. 3. The tenant is located in an existing, purpose-built building containing a bank or financial institution as its primary tenant/occupant.

Staff believes the original proposal for a ground floor personal services use with ancillary retail sales (as submitted in May) is not consistent with the DSP policies and does not promote an active pedestrian environment similar to retail, restaurants or other establishments in the downtown. The updated proposal (as submitted in August) provides a dedicated retail area equivalent to 32-percent of the depth of tenant space, meeting the dimensional requirement specified in the DSP policies.

The front building is a multi-tenant, one- and two-story structure with the two-story portion adjacent to Main Street, stepping down to one-story behind. The other building on the subject site is a one-story, single-tenant building. A private parking lot is located at the rear of the property and has seven parking spaces. The appellant's tenant space is located on the ground floor of the front building and the tenant space is approximately 1,065 square feet. Figures 1 and 2 below show an aerial photograph of the subject site and a street view of the Main Street frontage. The subject site is bordered on the north, east and west sides (across Main Street) by commercial and office uses and on the south by a parking lot.
