Section 2: The original approval of PD-291 specified a list of potential uses within the
shopping center, but never provided a specific zone that listed all uses permitted. The
list includes a mixture of major retail, general retail, office and food uses, which are
most closely resembled by the City's C-S-C zone.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning
Commission hereby approves (1) the amendment to PD-291 to allow a franchise
massage establishment, subject to Chapter 5.34 of the Municipal Code, and (2) the use
of the C-S-C zone, Section 92.11.01 of the Zoning Code, as a reference for all future
permitted uses within PD-291, located at 5200 East Ramon Road.
ADOPTED this 12th day of January 2011.
