Staff believes this is reasonable given that the deli section of a supermarket is where one typically finds things like pasta salads and corn dogs along side the c�ld cuts, specialty cheeses, and relish trays. 6.2 The current edition of the ITE manual (i.e., the publication tl�at provides research data on tlie. traffic generated by a given use) contemplates sandwicli shops, coffee shops, bread shops and the like as kincis of "fast-food restaurants", which are characterized by a]iigh proportion of cariy-out customers and indicates that a fast-food restaurant like this would �enerate about 1,200 vehicle trips pei- day — that is, about 600 cars would visit the property on the average day, most of which would be among the 16,000 vehicles already driving by each day. 6.3 The proposed catering use would slightly increase the on-site activity with the loading and unloadin� of service vehicles, which ean be initigated by the installation of a fence and/oi- vegetation, but the catering service would add a negligible amouut of traffic to that generated by ti�e deli. 6.4 Any use of the property, including uses permitted by the B-1 zoning, might increase the number of vehicles utilizing Autumn Street, and altl�ough the proposed uses may have this effect, Co�llmunity Develepinent staff has concluded that the iinpact on the sui-�-oundin� i�eigl�borhood would be minimal even though the preperty is adjacent to a residential street. 6.5 Section 1005.O1G (Buffer Zones) of the City Code requires new comn�ercia] developi�nent to have screening in tl�e form of hedges, coniferous trees, and/or privacy fel�ces to buffer residential uses froln adjacent coinillercial activities. Altllougll the cut�•ent application doesn't rept•esent "new developmenf' as contemplated in this section of the Code, the applicant/property owner could be required to install sucl� screening as a conditioil of approval. 7.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 7.l Based on the com�nents and findings detailed in Sections 4, 5, and b of this report, the Planning Division recommends approval of the requested I1vTERtNt UsE PERM�T, subject to the following conditions: a.
