Title
Foothill Food Hall/Lab - Proposed 10-Vendor Food Establishment on Foothill Boulevard
Body
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Staff received a pre-application meeting (PAM) request for a proposed food hall/lab. The project site is located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard approximately 385 feet west of the intersection of Cactus Avenue and Foothill Boulevard (Attachment 1). The proposed development includes a 17,912 square foot building for a potential food hall with approximately ten (10) Boulevard. The site spans 1.61 gross acres and is identified by APN 0128-361-17 and -18. The site is located in the Foothill Mixed Use zone (FMU) land use district within the newly adopted Foothill Central Specific Plan. The project aims to enhance the area’s commercial offerings by introducing a vibrant food hall that complements the surrounding neighborhood. To proceed, the project will require the filing of two key entitlement applications: a Precise Plan of Design (PPD) and a Potential Variance (VAR), which will address specific development and design requirements for the site variance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is available to answer questions and receive input from EDC regarding the proposed project concept.
