RECOMMENDED ACTION:

PROJECT ANALYSIS:
In January of 1985, RESCO Development proposed an R & D project on the
Mullin Lumber Company property of 4.7 acres located on the northwesterly
corner of Red Hill and Edinger Avenue. Based on market studies, staff
encouraged the developer for the project to include a comn~rcial use, such
as a restaurant, for the generation of sales tax revenue. The developer
agreed to an~nd his development plans to build two R & D buildings totaling
62,100 square feet and a restaurant of 5,470 square feet.
The site plan was previously approved by the Redevelopment Agency on April
15, 1985 to include the restaurant facility and R & D structures. At that
time, the elevations were approved for the R & D structures but the
restaurant owners had not yet been selected. The Redevelopment Agency also
agreed to participate for the cost of public improvements and circulation
fees up to $250,000.
Design Review for Chelsea Cafe, Inc.
page two
The exterior elevations show cultured stone and antique brick with lead
glass windows in an Old English style of architecture. The proposed
roofing is Old English slate tile. Staff feels that the building as
proposed will make a handsome addition to the industrial area while
.providing a needed service for the expected growth.
On October 28, 1985 the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 85-26 which
authorized the operation of a restaurant with an on-site beer and wine
license in the M-1 District.
