Hai Nguyen, assistant director for the Community Development Department, provided several staff updates. Nguyen said a mixed-use project at the southeast corner of L and 15th Streets — which the planning commission recommended for approval in April — was returned to the planning commission by the City Council after nearly 30 people spoke at the July 8 council meeting. The council cited concerns about building heights, water and labor agreements, among other items; the applicant will resubmit a revised project for staff review and eventual return to the commission.

Nguyen also previewed the commission’s August 18 meeting, saying it will be busy and will include the previously reviewed King Bar project, a 100% affordable housing project and the Westside annexation project and specific plan, which will be presented for the commission’s recommendation to the council. Nguyen asked commissioners to review materials in advance and confirm attendance so staff can plan presentations and public engagement.

The commission adjourned to its next regular meeting scheduled for August 18, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. in the city chambers.

Senior planner Kendall Brecky presented the proposal and said the project would demolish a vacant movie-theater building and construct a Quick Quack car wash on the southerly portion of the parcel, leaving the easternmost portion available for future development. Brecky said the project qualifies for a CEQA Class 32 infill exemption and that the applicant has proposed architectural enhancements, including stone veneer and vine trellises, to fit the corridor gateway appearance.

Don Shively, who said he represents Quick Quack, told the commission the company plans to expand in Lancaster and views the project as a neighborhood service. Commissioners focused questions on site circulation and the risk of vehicle queuing backing onto Valley Central Way. Brecky said staff required a vehicle queuing study and that onsite queuing lanes accommodate 18 vehicles in the proposed design; staff did not anticipate significant queue-related impacts but included a condition requiring the applicant to mitigate, at the applicant’s cost, any on-site queuing that causes vehicles to stack onto Valley Central Way and to return to the city for approval of mitigation measures.

The motion to adopt Resolution No. 25-13 approving Conditional Use Permit No. 24009 carried 5-0 with two members absent. The resolution finds the project exempt under CEQA Class 32 (infill) and authorizes staff to file a notice of exemption.

Commissioners noted the site’s existing curb cut and the single through-lane plus bike lane on Valley Central Way; staff confirmed there is a raised median preventing left turns at the immediate location and that turn lanes are present nearby. The applicant will be required to address any operational issues that cause stacking into the public right-of-way. Brecky said the easternmost portion of the project site will be landscaped with bark mulch in the interim to deter unpermitted parking.

The approval preserves existing surrounding parking and leaves redevelopment of the eastern parcel to a later phase; the applicant will proceed with plan check and building permit steps required for construction.

Staff described the application and recommended approval. Mitzi Alvarado, the case planner, told commissioners the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Class 1 for existing facilities, that public notices were mailed within a 500-foot radius and posted on the property, and that the Lancaster Police Department reviewed the project and provided clearance. Alvarado also noted the city had received one letter from a neighboring property owner raising concerns about periodic parking on adjacent land.

The nut of the decision was that the permit will allow events such as weddings, karaoke and comedy shows in the restaurant’s interior and on its landscaped patio, while subjecting the operation to standard conditions. Alvarado said staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 25-12 to approve the permit and authorize staff to file a notice of exemption under CEQA.

Hector Isordia, owner of Jalisco restaurant, spoke to commissioners about the restaurant’s financial strain and said the ability to hold private and community events would help the family-owned business. “We get a lot of requests, especially for weddings and private events,” Isordia said. He told the commission he had attempted to contact the adjacent property owner after learning of her concerns and said he will use security staff to prevent patrons from parking on the neighbor’s land.

Commissioners asked about conditions of approval, including a standard requirement limiting light spillover (noted by staff as a condition to prevent lighting spill) and an enforcement review schedule. Hai Nguyen, assistant director for the Community Development Department, explained the permit includes a condition that allows the community development director to review compliance every six months during the first 24 months after approval; the director or the commission may also call up the permit for further review if law-enforcement or alcohol-related issues arise.

The full motion, read into the record, was to adopt Resolution No. 25-12 approving the conditional use permit to allow special events and live entertainment at Jalisco and to find the project exempt under CEQA; the motion passed 5-0 with two members absent. Commissioners congratulated Isordia on the expanded operation and wished him luck.

The permit preserves the restaurant’s existing uses and imposes the conditions described in the staff report, including the periodic compliance reviews and standard lighting and alcohol-related measures. Staff and the applicant remain available to address follow-up enforcement or parking concerns raised by the neighbor.
