4 STAFF REPORT
7/17/2024
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Adrian Moreno, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CUP No. 254 (Modification), AR No. 24-02 Coachella Gateway – a modification to add a drive-thru multi-tenant commercial building within the Coachella Gateway shopping center approved under CUP No. 254 at the southwest corner of Ave 48 and Grapefruit Boulevard, adjacent to the Dillon Bridge. Applicant:

Chandi & Karan LLC
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. PC2024-11 adopting CUP 254 (MOD) and AR No. 24-02, subject to the findings and conditions attached to this staff report.

BACKGROUND:

On December 12, 2012, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit Nos. 254 and 256, Tentative Parcel
Map 36481, and Architectural Review
No. 12-07 for the refurbishment of an
existing service station/mini-market and
the construction of four new commercial
buildings on 4.85 acres on the southwest
corner of Avenue 48 and Grapefruit
Boulevard. On June 3, 2015, Planning
Commission approved a 24-month
retroactive time extension for the project.

On October 21, 2015, Planning
Commission approved a modification to
the original approved project to add a new
drive-thru restaurant and other site
modifications. On June 7, 2017, Planning Commission approved a sign program for the site. On April 19, 2023, Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 364 to allow ABC License Type 21 at the AMPM at the subject site at 48055 Grapefruit Blvd.

The applicant requests a second modification to the site to add a drive-thru for a multi-tenant commercial building originally approved as a stand-alone sit-down restaurant under CUP No. 254. 5 Item 1.

The building was originally approved for a sit-down restaurant. The building is on Grapefruit Boulevard, adjacent to the Dillon Bridge.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The surrounding land uses and zoning designations are as follows:

North: Tower Market (City of Indio).

South: Dillon Bridge (C-G, General Commercial).

East: Grapefruit Boulevard and Union Pacific Railroad
West: Dillon Road/Bridge and vacant lot/old Glenroy Hotel Project site (C-G, General Commercial)
Site Plan
The exhibit below illustrates the proposed modification to the site plan layout for the proposed 4,605 SF drive-thru restaurant a modification from the original plan for a sit-down restaurant. A double-drive thru entrance is proposed that merges into one drive thru-lane and wraps around the south and east sides of the building. There project will construct 26 new off-street parking spaces, a total of 20 are at the north and west ends of the building. There is a new landscape island to the north of the building with 6 adjacent parking spaces, and a new trash enclosure. 6 Item 1.

The building is proposed as a 4,605 SF retail shell building consisting of 2 retail tenants and 1 quick-stop retail tenant. There is no proposed floor plans for the 2 retail tenants at this time, however the floor plan for the 1 quick stop retail tenant proposes 1,299 SF of non-customer area and 107 SF of customer area. The drive-thru serves the quick-stop retail tenant, which includes a walk-up window intended for quick stop rather than a customer area with seating and tables customary of other Coachella drive thru fast food establishments.

The applicant proposes high quality elevations for the project with both horizontal and vertical modulation, a compatible desert color scheme, and textured exterior finishes. The applicant proposes a metal canopy over the drive-thru window and building entrances at the north elevation.

The applicant also proposes an 8 foot tall trash enclosure structure with steel doors and CMU wall.

The trash enclosure provides a high quality design with a color scheme that is compatible with buildings on-site.

LANDSCAPING
The project proposes a new conceptual landscape plan for the parcel of the subject building. The on-site landscaping includes landscaping around the building, landscape medians, and landscape common area. Landscaping is composed of various shrubs, palm trees, shade trees adjacent to parking, vines adjacent to the trash enclosure, and a landscaped median between the proposed double drive-thru lane. All landscape areas around the subject building provide ¾ crushed rock with several desert shrub varieties that include red bird of paradise and desert accents that include red yucca. Palm trees are proposed at common area landscape areas adjacent to the public rightof-way to match existing, and 24” box mulga trees provide shade to on-site parking near the subject building. There is a landscape median at the two entry drive-thru entrance proposed with ¾ inch gravel and lantana shrubs. Staff will require additional on-site landscape improvements that include vines adjacent to new structures, increasing the landscaped area that adjoins the existing car wash, and landscape improvements to the entire center to provide a unified look that may include adding shade trees, ¾ inch rock, and/or large stones. To ensure future improvements to the berm area adjacent to the Dillon Bridge, Staff included a condition of approval to require the applicant to provide the city complete access to the entire berm area for purposes of maintenance and improvements to the berm area.

A final landscape, lighting, and irrigation plan will be required for the project. A project condition Figure 1 East Elevation East Elevation - Facing Grapefruit Boulevard Facing Grapefruit Boulevard Figure 2 Northeast Elevation 7 Item 1.
of approval would require landscape rehabilitation for the entire center along landscape areas visible from the public R.O.W. A condition of approval has been added that the applicant enter into a landscape maintenance agreement for the commercial center landscape areas prior to Certificate of Occupancy consistent with Planning Commission direction for maintenance agreements for commercial centers. Maintenance of the Dillon Road berm area shall also be included in the Landscape Maintenance Agreement. There is an existing Landscape Maintenance Agreement for the center that requires the maintenance of the landscape area for the center adjacent to Dillon Road from approximately Avenue 48 up to the entrance of the Car Wash drive-thru. The applicant shall amend the existing Landscape Maintenance Agreement for the center to the entirety of the center’s landscape areas.

SIGNAGE
The applicant proposes a modification to the sign program previously approved for the center. The proposed modified sign program provides a new modified site plan, and new elevations that show signage locations for the modified 4,605 SF subject building and modified pylon directory sign.

The sign program is amended to add additional regulations pertaining to roof signs, exterior merchandise signs, electronic message board signs, and more regulations that are pulled from the Coachella Sign Ordinance. There are specific regulations on pylon directory signs prohibiting flat signs, moving electronic signs, and that lights shall only shine through individual letters.

The previously approved 25 foot tall directory sign incorporated a plastic and aluminum design at approximately 135 SF of tenant signage at each sign face and was never completed per plan. The new proposed 25 foot tall directory sign proposes a stucco textured finish and a cement board finish with a wooden appearance. There is approximately 86 SF of tenant signage at each sign face, with approximately 38 SF of sign face dedicated to City of Coachella branded signage. The improved signage materials, color scheme, and reduction of overall tenant signage at each sign face provides a high quality design that is an improvement from the original design. Also, as a condition of approval, the existing on-site billboard sign adjacent to Grapefruit Boulevard shall be removed.
8 Item 1.

PARKING
The applicant proposes 26 new parking spaces to serve the subject commercial building. The project proposes 3 tenants, with 1 of those tenants being a quick stop retail (QSR) restaurant. The restaurant requires 10 parking spaces. The other two tenants parked at the standard commercial retail ratio will require 12 parking spaces. The building requires 22 parking spaces, and 26 are provided, the amount of proposed parking is sufficient for the proposed use. There may be tenants in the future that require a higher parking ratio, for this reason the center is conditioned to allow the Director of Development Services to require parking improvements that meet the parking needs of the site.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Planning Division has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as “In-Fill Development” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301). The proposed project consists of the development within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. This was a previously approved project, and this is a modification of that approved project.

Enclosure Recommendation
Copy to City of Coachella | 2/27/24
February 27, 2024
Project Name: Coachella Gateway
Dear Chandi & Karan, LLC.,
Thank you for contacting Burrtec to review your plans for waste and recycling enclosure specifications. Per the site plans and construction information you provided for the proposed building at 48151 Grapefruit Blvd. in Coachella, Burrtec would be able to service the waste enclosure as seen on the plans.

Please see below for additional details pertaining to our recommendation:

Requires the following services:
☒ Solid waste service: Minimum level of service 3 yard/1 time per week ☒ Recycling service: Minimum level of service 3 yard/1 time per week meets AB341 Law ☒ Organics recycling service: Minimum level of service (1) 64-gallon commercial service/1 time per week meets AB1826/SB1383 Law
☐ De Minimis Waiver for Organics: Reviewed and organic matter not referenced Business type: ____________________________________________ Explanation: Approximate organic waste produced: Below 20-gallon/1 time per week threshold (subject to a follow-up post project completion) Enclosure Details: Commercial standard 3 yard bins are 81" wide (3.75') and 42" deep (3.5') with 6" curbs along the sides; rear facing commercial bins with the bins backing up to the sidewalls with 4' of clearance between them. Two 3 yard commercial bins can easily fit into an enclosure that is 12' wide and 9' deep.

That said, enclosure location appears to meet Burrtec requirements for service vehicle accessibility, safety and clearance. Burrtec is proud to service the City of Coachella. We look forward to providing services to your future project. Please contact me if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance at [email protected] .

Sincerely,
Cynthia Avalos
District Environmental Coordinator

STAFF REPORT
7/17/2024
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Gabriel Perez, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: A & G Mart – Alcohol Sales Request
SPECIFICS: Conditional Use Permit No. 382 to allow liquor sales as part of a proposed 2,625 square foot convenience store (ABC Type 20, Off-Sale Beer and Wine) in an existing commercial building located at 50-223 Cesar Chavez Street, Suite “B102” in the N-C (Neighborhood Commercial) zone. A & G Mart (Applicant)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. PC 2024-18 approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 382 to allow a liquor sales license (Type 20, Off-Sale Beer and Wine) at the proposed A & G Mart located at 50-223 Cesar Chavez Street, Suite “B102” pursuant to the findings and conditions of approval contained in the staff report and attached resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The subject site is a vacant commercial tenant space located within a 1.08-acre neighborhood commercial center located at the southwest corner of Westerfield Way and Cesar Chavez Street.

The tenant space was previously occupied by “Radio Shack” for many years, but has remained empty for several years. The parking lot serving this commercial center is located in the rear portion of the site which is adjacent to an existing multifamily residential apartments complex. A CUP application (CUP No. 388) for Type 21 Off-Sale General for beer, wine and spirits for Paradise Liquor was considered by the Planning Commission on June 16, 2021 and denied due to concerns of a liquor store in close proximity to the multifamily residential complex and playground to the east and the availability of off-sale alcohol in the vicinity. The City Council considered an appeal of the decision on July 14, 2021 and upheld the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the CUP.

A new applicant, A & G Mart, proposes to open a convenience store/market in the same tenant space. A & G Mart currently operates in two other locations in Desert Hot Springs (66425 Pierson Blvd) and Palms Springs (19345 N Indian Canyon Dr). The applicant proposes to offer goods similar to a convenience store such as snacks, slushies, soft drinks, deli foods, dairy, eggs and fresh produce. The applicant communicated to staff that the sale of beer and wine is an important sales generator for the business.
133
Item 2.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The applicant, A & G Mart, submitted a CUP request to allow the off-sale of liquor (beer and wine) in conjunction with a new 2,625 square foot convenience grocery market. The owner stated that the business intends to differentiate itself from a conventional liquor store by offering locally sourced item and a sizable selection of fresh produce and grab n go items. As such, they envision that the store will serve the neighborhood commercial use of the immediate neighborhoods to the east and west of the property.

The zoning designation of the commercial center where the store is proposed is within the C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) and allows retail sales and grocery stores by right. In December of 2016, the City adopted an ordinance requiring a conditional use permit for any off-sale and onsale alcohol sales establishment, with additional land use regulations contained in Section

17.74.015 of the Zoning Code. The Conditional Use Permit findings are required to be made by the Planning Commission.

The subject site is located within Census Tract 457.07 with 6 active off-sale licenses. When it is determined by California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) that there is an undue concentration of on-sale licenses, the Planning Commission must make findings that the public convenience or necessity justifies the issuance of the liquor license to the establishment.

Table 1 – Off-Sale Alcohol Licenses
Off-Sale Alcohol License within Census Tract 457.07
Business Name Address License Type
1 Walgreens 50040 Harrison St 20 (Beer and Wine)
2 99 Cents Only Store 50249 Harrison St #J 20 (Beer and Wine) 3 Cardenas Market 50037 Harrison St 21 (General)
4 Coachella Power Group 50980 Harrison St 21 (General)
5 Aldi 50180 Cesar Chavez St 20 (Beer and Wine)
6 Super Rancho Meat Market 1632 6th Street 20 (Beer and Wine) Additionally, off-sale establishments may not fall within 700 feet of a church, school, park, playground, residence or another exiting off-sale use as measured from property line to property line. The proposed liquor sales store is located within 200 feet away from the playground located on the west side of the parking lot, and within 700 feet away from other residential uses on the east side of Cesar Chavez Street. The aerial photograph below shows the location of the commercial center at the southwest corner of Westerfield Way and Cesar Chavez Street.

Currently there are two off-sale alcohol licenses within 700 feet located at the “99 Cent Store” (214 ft) and “Aldi” (621 ft). A Circle K convenience store and gas station will begin construction and has an active CUP but has not obtained an ABC license.

Staff contacted the Lieutenant Vasquez with the Riverside County Sheriff regarding any concerns for the proposed business that the Planning Commission may want to consider when making findings or including conditions of approval for the CUP.

comments have been received from the public with any concerns about approval of the proposed conditional use permit for Type 20 alcohol sales.

Figure 1: Proposed A & G Mart (next to Juan Pollo and AT&T Store)

Section 17.74.015C of the Zoning Code allows the City to allow off-sale liquor establishments (liquor stores) that are less than 700 feet from playgrounds, residential property, and other liquor stores, provided the following additional findings are made:
i. The planning commission may find that the public benefit outweighs the distance restrictions of subsections (a) and/or (b) above, upon additional findings that:
(A) The establishment provides a substantial benefit to the immediate neighborhood not provided by another existing establishment within the restricted distance; and (B) Not greater than five percent of the sales floor area or one thousand (1,000) square feet, whichever is less, shall be used for the display or sale of alcoholic beverages; c. That the requested establishment at the proposed location will not adversely affect the economic welfare of the nearby community; and
d. That the exterior appearance of the structure of the proposed establishment will not be inconsistent with the exterior appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight or deterioration, or substantially diminish or impair the property values within the neighborhood. 135
Item 2.

The floor plan for the A & G Mart business is included as Exhibit B of Attach #1. The floor plan shows a large cooler for soft drinks and alcohol along the north wall of the tenant space of approximately 120 square feet. The display area for alcohol will need to be reduced to 94 sq. ft. for compliance with the 5% maximum display area for alcohol. The owner has stated that a variety of non-alcoholic beverages and food items will be displayed for sale, in addition to alcoholic beverages, in the coolers. Additionally, there will be several gondolas in the open sales area of the store to display sweets, packaged foods, canned food items, dry goods, health and wellness items and similar convenience store items. A fountain drink and coffee bar is proposed along the south wall. Upon a staff visit to the Desert Hot Springs A & G Mart, it was observed that the produce and fresh grab and go options were very limited and that the business would offer less fresh options than other known convenience stores such as Circle K, Tower Market and AM PM. The owner, Alma Prather, expressed that the proposed Coachella would have double the customer area than the Desert Hot Springs location that allows her to offer a greater selection and quantity of fresh produce including fruit and vegetables, dairy including cheese, yogurt, milk, heavy whipping cream, half and half, almond, and oat milk, ground beef, bacon, ham and turkey deli meat, varieties of chorizo, eggs, and 100% juices, canned foods, dried foods like rice, legumes, and beans, soups, spices and condiments. Ms. Prather also expressed that she has partnered with Miguel’s Produce to stock local produce twice a week.

Staff believes that this store with a commitment to provide a wide selection and large quantity of fresh food and produce for many residents in the vicinity that do not wish to travel and take extra time to go into the larger supermarkets in the larger vicinity. Accordingly, staff has added conditions of approval to ensure that fresh food and produce are maintained as a sizeable offering within the store concurrent with the offerings of alcohol. The owner has provided a letter from Desert Hot Springs confirming that the business is operated safely and would make a good community partner.

Item 2.

Hours of Operation:

The applicant has not indicated specific hours of operation for the convenience store. The City Municipal Code does not legislate any hour of operation restrictions. However, staff is concerned that the late evening hour sale of alcoholic beverages could have an adverse effect on the adjoining residential uses to the west. Accordingly, staff recommends that the hours of operation for the business be limited to no earlier than 6:00 am and no later than 11:00 pm daily.

Environmental Setting:

The subject site is a small commercial center located at the southwest corner of Westerfield Way and Cesar Chavez Street and is substantially surrounded by urban uses, with adjoining zoning and land uses as follows:

North: Cardenas Shopping Center, multi-tenant uses / (C-G, General Commercial) South: Multifamily Residential / (R-M, Residential Multifamily) East: Single-family residential / (C-G, General Commercial) West: Playground/ Single Family Residential / (R-M, Multifamily Residential) Site Plan / Parking and Circulation:

The site is fully developed with one driveway access from Westerfield Way and an additional driveway along Cesar Chavez Street. The site provides ample parking spaces for all the existing uses at the commercial center.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as “Existing Facilities” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301). The proposed project consists of the operation, licensing and minor alteration of an existing private commercial structure involving no expansion of existing or former commercial use on the property. The subject site has been used for commercial retail establishments and no expansions of floor area are proposed.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-18 approving CUP No. 382 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff.
2) Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-18 approving CUP No. 382 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff with modifications.

Resolution No. PC2024-18

Page 2 ends

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Coachella, California hereby resolve as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals
The Planning Commission hereby finds that all of the facts in the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated and adopted as findings of the Planning Commission as fully set forth in this resolution.

Section 2. CEQA Findings
Based upon its review of the entire record, including the Staff Report, any public comments or testimony presented to the Planning Commission, and the facts outlined below, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 as an infill development because the project involves development on a site under five acres where the parcel complies with General Plan policies and zoning regulations, and where the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, and where the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services, and the project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The subject site is surrounded on all sides by urban uses and has no suitable habitat for endangered species. There are existing utilities and public services available to serve the site. As proposed, the project will comply with General Plan policies and zoning code regulations and the project does not result in any significant traffic, air quality, or water quality impacts. As such, no additional environmental review is required.

Section 3. Conditional Use Permit
With respect to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 382, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the proposed convenience store:

1. The proposed use will not be in conflict with, but will be in harmony with and in accordance with the objectives of the general plan because the proposed restaurant use with alcohol sales is within the Neighborhood Center land use designation according to the General Plan 2035, which allows the intended physical character to provide a comfortable, walkable environment for shoppers and diners and envisions neighborhood commercial uses mixed with high-density residential uses. The liquor sales establishment will be part of a convenience store that will provide for the sale of grocery items to serve adjoining residents.

2. The proposed use will be located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area because the proposed use is within a zoning designation of ‘C-N' (Neighborhood Commercial) which permits grocery stores subject to obtaining a conditional use permit to sell alcoholic beverages. The proposed use is on a major commercial thoroughfare street within a multi-tenant site that is compatible with 140
Item 2.

Resolution No. PC2024-18

Page 3 ends

the adjoining commercial uses and the conditional use permit can be revoked if any of the conditions of approval are violated.

3. Consideration has been given to harmony in scale, bulk, coverage and density, to the availability of public facilities and utilities, to harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character, to the generation of traffic and the capacity of surrounding streets, and to any other relevant impact of development, because the existing commercial tenant space is within an existing commercial center with all infrastructure available onsite for the proposed grocery convenience store. Additionally, there is adequate ingress and egress into and out of the existing center to maintain the adequacy of the traffic circulation system serving the proposed use.

4. Where the proposed use may be potentially hazardous or disturbing to existing or reasonably expected neighboring uses, it must be justified by the common public interest as a benefit to the community as a whole. As conditioned, the proposed use will provide for the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a convenience grocery store with limitations on hours of operation. The applicant operated similar stores in the Coachella Valley and has provided a letter of support from the Desert Hot Springs Police confirming that the operator is able to maintain a safe facility. As such, there will be no hazardous or disturbing effects to the existing and neighboring uses.

5. The proposed use provides vehicular approaches to the property designed for reasonable minimal interference with traffic on surrounding public streets or roads, because all approaches are in full use for the patrons of the commercial center and no alterations are proposed as part of the request to sell and/or serve alcohol at the existing 944 square foot restaurant and no negative effects exists.

6. The City of Coachella has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as an “Existing Facilities” project (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301a). The project involves minor alterations to interior partition walls, and existing electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems within an existing commercial building.

7. The establishment provides a substantial benefit to the immediate neighborhood not provided by another existing establishment within the restricted distance as the business would provide food, drink, and convenience items in walking distance of nearby residences. The business would provide a significant quantity of fresh produce and other fresh foods options.

8. No greater than five percent of the sales floor area or one thousand (1,000) square feet, whichever is less, will be used for the display or sale of alcoholic beverages. The project is conditioned to ensure that the display area for alcohol does not exceed the limits of the Coachella Municipal Code and requires that he Development Services Director conduct an inspection of the display prior to business operation. 141

Good Afternoon Mr. Perez,
First off, thank you and to Dr. Martin for the opportunity to expand our business to the City of Coachella. I appreciate your input and guidance in regards to improving and having the opportunity to come before the City Commissioners. When we have met before, I shared my eagerness to share what our store has to offer to the community and hope that we are successful during the hearing. A little recap of myself is that I am a small business owner that has a market in Desert Hot Springs. Previously, I was a paralegal, merchandise vendor, and a business banker for 15 years. I am local born and raised and am very proud to say that I am from the Coachella Valley. Although I have primarily been on the West side of the Valley, I am in a very favorable position to expand in the City of Coachella and have obtained a lease for 5 years at the following address: 50223 Ceasar Chavez St. Suite B102, Coachella, CA 92236.

Our market located in Desert Hot Springs is located near City Hall and on the same street as the Police and Fire Department. When I submitted my CUP for the City of DHS, they also had hesitation about having another store that offered a Beer and Wine type 20 license. Since then, I went through the CUP process and was able to demonstrate successfully my commitment to serving the community. Our store is frequently visited by law enforcement due to our cleanliness and friendly customer service. We have participated countless times in our city's street fair called, Friday Nights on Pierson, and have helped many nonprofits in our local community. For example, Cabot Yerxa Elementary School and The DHS Historical Society. We are also active members of the Elks and participate in other non-profit organizations like The Women's Club.

Another way we are an asset to our community is that although we are in the downtown area of our city, the back of our store and surrounding area is residential. We help countless families that don't have transportation and a way to find healthy groceries and pet items. We currently serve an average of 450 customers a day according to our Clover Merchant Service report. We accept EBT and have been audited several times to ensure that we have enough food in each food group to be considered as a Snap Retailer. We take pride in providing fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy including cheese, yogurt, milk: including lactose free, whole, 2%,heavy whipping cream, half and half, almond, and oat milk, ground beef, bacon, ham and turkey deli meat, varieties of chorizo, eggs, and 100% juices, canned foods, dried foods like rice, legumes, and beans, soups, spices and condiments. We also offer infant products like bottles and diapers, personal hygiene and medicine, pet supplies and home cleaning essentials.

In the near future, I will try to obtain approval to accept WIC.

When we built our business, and when I recall going to the SBA and Score meetings, I wanted to ensure a quality store that would mirror a Tower Market. I even have that in my business plan. My commitment to the City of Coachella is to use the experience that I have gained at my Desert Hot Springs location to create a stronger and more efficient market. My location in DHS currently has 19 feet of gondola shelving while in Coachella I will have about double the amount of space to be able to showcase more products and offer more to the community. 149
Item 2.

The age of the large department store is slowly going out of business. We have seen it first hand with Sears and Kmart. Consumers are looking for alternative options and for a more friendly atmosphere. In addition to helping them save time and have a quick one stop shop near their home. I can assure you my commitment to keeping a well kept store with no loitering or obstruction to the surrounding area. I also have included a picture of what the produce section will look like. It is a 78 inch open cooler that will have a variety of over 30 fresh products and some additional seasonal items. I have partnered up with Miguel's Produce and they will be servicing local produce to the store now twice a week. I have also included pictures from the Tower Market located in Palm Springs, to show that I also offer the same grocery items they have to offer.

I have a new location in North Palm Springs opening this month and it has a Liquor type 21 license. Our business has the experience of handling alcohol and knows how to take safety measures to ensure lawful practices. We are surrounded by residential homes and also within walking distance from the high school. It is of the utmost importance for us to ensure no risks are taken and we also have an additional ID program built in our Clover Merchant Service.

Lastly, thank you for your consideration and I am confident that with my experience A & G Mart will be an asset to the community.

Kind Regards,
Alma Prather
