File Number: 14-207 <br />·Group Housing <br />·Instruction and Improvement Services <br />·Live-Work <br />·Research and Development Services <br />·Restaurants, Full Service <br />·Swap Meets <br />Amendments containing substantive changes <br />A series of in-depth, substantive changes are proposed to respond to Planning staff <br />experience interpreting the Zoning Code and to provide more flexibility for certain types of <br />land uses. The proposed substantive changes are as follows, organized alphabetically by use <br />category: <br />Ambulance Services, Emergency & Non-Emergency <br />Staff proposes to create a new definition for Ambulance Services uses that does not involve <br />the use of sirens, defined as Ambulance Services , Non-Emergency. The existing definition <br />would then be retitled and redefined as Ambulance Services , Emergency. <br />Ambulance Services, Emergency. Provision of emergency medical care or transportation for <br />critically injured or ill patients, including incidental storage and maintenance of vehicles and residential <br />quarters for employees. <br />Ambulance Services, Non-Emergency. Provisions of non-emergency ambulance services to <br />transport residents home from the hospital or to meet routine medical needs, including <br />incidental storage and maintenance of vehicles. Siren use is not practiced. <br />Ambulance Services are currently permitted outright in all Industrial zones and in the SA-3 <br />and CC districts. A Conditional Use Permit is required if an Ambulance Services land use is <br />proposed within 1,000 feet of a residential use. Staff proposes to add Ambulance Service , <br />Non-Emergency in these districts under the same basis, except that it would be subject to <br />Administrative Review (AR), if proposed on a site within 1,000 feet of a residential use. <br />Beer and Wine Stores <br />Staff proposes to amend the existing Beer and Wine Stores definition as follows : <br />Beer and Wine Stores. A retail store principally involved in the business of selling alcoholic <br />beverages, excluding sales of “hard liquor,” “fortified wine”, or distilled spirits for the consumption <br />off the premises where sold . Stores shall be managed by a certified wine expert (sommelier or <br />oenologist) or a certified beer expert (cicerone.)This classification includes beer- or wine-only <br />shops or facilities that are covered by a State license for “beer and wine” (Class 20 ABC license). This <br />classification includes beer or wine tasting as an accessory use, only, but does not allow for <br />the establishment of a Bar. This classification allows for accessory food sales, but does not <br />include retail sales of food and other items as defined as a Convenience Store in this Code. <br />Staff proposes that Beer and Wine Stores should be allowed through a Conditional Use <br />Permit (UP) in the C-RM and DA-1 Districts where it is currently Not Permitted (-).
