Yucca Valley Planning Commission approves construction of new C&S chicken restaurant, Domino’s Pizza, and Jersey Mike’s
The Commission reviewed the new C&S Rotisserie Chicken Restaurant, which will have a bakery, coffee, juice, and ice cream bar, to be located next door to the current C&S Café. The proposed 3164 square-foot building will have an additional 860 square-foot patio and will require construction of a new parking lot to be located west of the existing structure to be shared with C&S Café, with off-site parking proposed to the south of the alley at the northeast corner of Elk Trail and Santa Fe Trail. The new single story structure’s décor will align with the current C&S Café: western façade with stucco exterior and metal roof. Ten different desert native plants will also be incorporated into the landscaping.
Senior Planner Jared Jerome mentioned the restaurant’s parking spaces on Twentynine Palms Highway could be compromised when Yucca Valley engages their long-term plans with CalTrans to widen the highway from four to six lanes.
“There are additional parking spots along the side of the highway, however those we generally don’t count for Old Town projects because the widening of the highway is gonna, for lack of a better term, ‘eat’ those parking stalls,” said Jerome.
The Commission found the new C&S Restaurant will not create additional impact with the existing Environmental Impact Report and also approved their Site Plan Review to begin construction.
For the new Domino’s Pizza and Jersey Mike’s building, the Commission approved their Conditional Use Permit amendment to eliminate their proposed drive through and provide additional parking for a total of 32 spaces, as well as approving their landscape and irrigation plans. The structure will be bookended by Domino’s and Jersey Mike’s with two spaces for additional tenants in the middle.
