PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 23-04
FOR LA PLAZA BAR AT 669 W. MAIN STREET
Project: Conditional Use Permit 25-04 Location: 669 W. Main Street
Property Owner/Applicant: Assessor’s Parcel Number: 053-104-002
Vivia Arellano
Staff Planner: Zoning Designation: CD (Downtown
Valeria Landeros, Assistant Planner Commercial)
Proposed Use: Lounge Bar
PROJECT SUMMARY
The applicant Vivia Peraza is proposing to open La Plaza Bar, a lounge bar to be
located in the Downtown Commercial zone at 669 W. Main Street also known as APN
053-104-002 (see Exhibit A – Project Location Map). Bars and nightclubs require a
conditional use permit to operate within the Downtown Commercial zone, per El Centro
Municipal Code Section 29-61. This bar is proposed to occupy approximately 2,290
square feet of the building at 669 W. Main Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Open the public hearing and after allowing input
from all proponents and opponents of the project move forward in approving the
project and issuing conditional use permit.
BACKGROUND
PROJECT SITE
The site is located on the south side of West Main Street between 6th and 7th Streets,
in the Downtown El Centro area at 669 W. Main Street. The existing building was
previously occupied by Twilight Smoke shop and has been vacant for over 7 years. The
building is currently undergoing renovation and is served by City water and sewer. The
floor plan identifies the main entrance along Main Street and emergency exits at the
rear side of the building exiting into the alley. The building is connected to city water and
sewer services and is currently under renovation to accommodate the proposed lounge
bar.
SURROUNDING AREA
This site is surrounded by a mix of commercial uses including offices, retail stores, and
restaurants, as well as civic uses such as public transportation, parking, and the town
center. The surrounding zoning is a mix of CD (Downtown Commercial) consistent with
Page 8 of 37

[PAGE 9]
the project site’s zoning designation, and LU (Limited Use). Below is a table
summarizing the abutting land uses and zoning designations.
Direction Uses Zoning
North Dance studio, tattoo parlor, mattress CD (Downtown Commercial)
store, and a vacant building
East Private parking lot and professional CD (Downtown Commercial)
offices
South Transit Terminal LU (Limited Use).
West Restaurant (in the adjoining building), CD (Downtown Commercial)
and Town Square & LU (Limited Use).
BUSINESS OPERTATION
The project proposes to utilize the front interior portion of the building, including a bar
area, lounge seating, restrooms, a break room, a surveillance office, and a storage
room, while a designated rear open-space area will remain unused for business
operations and must stay unobstructed with a clearly delineated pathway for emergency
access, as outlined in the resolution per Building Code requirements (see Exhibit E –
Staff Comments & Exhibit F – Resolution). The applicant also intends to apply for
Sidewalk Dining Permit and plans to utilize the portion of the sidewalk fronting their
business for outdoor seating and a podium for security check.
La Plaza Bar will operate seven days a week, with hours of 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on
Sundays, 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM Monday through Wednesday, and 12:00 PM to 12:00
AM Thursday through Saturday. Business operations include alcohol service, lounge
seating, billiards, televisions for sports and entertainment, and occasional live music
performances by local artists. No food service or kitchen facilities are proposed for this
project.
The applicant is currently applying for a Type 48 On-Sale General Public Premises ABC
liquor license (see Exhibit D), which authorizes the sale and on-site consumption of
alcohol and prohibits the entry of persons under 21 years of age; the operator will be
required to post appropriate signage and conduct ID verification at the point of entry.
ANALYSIS
LAND USE AND ZONING COMPATIBILITY
Per the El Centro Municipal Code, bars and night clubs are conditionally permitted uses
within the Downtown Commercial (CD) Zone, subject to Planning Commission approval.
The proposed use aligns with the Downtown Commercial land use designation, which
encourages entertainment and hospitality uses that contribute to a vibrant and active
downtown environment. The operation of La Plaza Bar will utilize an existing
commercial space, promoting infill development and activation of an underutilized
property.
ACCESS, CIRCULATION, AND PARKING
Page 9 of 37

[PAGE 10]
The property is accessible from Main Street, a two-lane collector, and has rear access
through a public alley. Downtown El Centro commercial properties are exempt from on-
site parking requirements; patrons and employees will utilize nearby on-street parking
and public lots within walking distance. The project is not anticipated to generate traffic
volumes that would exceed the existing roadway capacity or require off-site
improvements.
PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES
The property is connected to existing city water and sewer lines. The water and sewer
capacity fees will be assessed based on increased usage compared to prior occupancy.
The project site is also served by existing public safety, fire, and police services. Any
additional requirements identified during departmental review—such as ADA
compliance, backflow prevention, or encroachment permits—will be addressed as
conditions of approval.
NOISE AND SECURITY CONDITIONS
Typical impacts from bar and lounge operations include noise and potential late-night
disturbances. The project’s proximity to commercial and civic uses, rather than
residential properties, minimizes these potential impacts. Security of patrons, workers,
and other persons due to the operation of lounge bar has been reviewed. At minimum,
the bar will require security personnel to be present during weekend operating hours
and special events. Additionally, adequate outdoor lighting must be provided by the
business to ensure safety and visibility in adjacent pedestrian areas as well as the rear
alleyway, as a condition of approval as required by the Police Department.
BUILDING CONDITIONS AND AESTHETICS
The existing building is undergoing minor renovations and, if the CUP is approved
tenant improvements will require building permits to move forward with the project. The
open space area identified on the approved floor plan shall remain free of obstructions
and not used for business operations or storage. The operator shall install visible floor
tape or markings delineating the required pathway through the open space to ensure it
remains open and unobstructed at all times for emergency access and safety
compliance. Exterior enhancements may include repainting and maintenance to ensure
consistency with the Downtown Commercial Design Standards. Any new signage will
comply with Chapter 22.1 (“Signs”) of the El Centro City Code.
The operator shall ensure that the building exterior, sidewalk frontage, and alley access
are maintained in a clean and orderly condition. Trash and debris generated by
business patrons or operations shall be removed daily, and any graffiti or vandalism
shall be addressed within 72 hours of occurrence.
PUBLIC NOTICING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
PUBLIC NOTICING
A public hearing is scheduled before the Planning Commission on December 9, 2025
Page 10 of 37

[PAGE 11]
and a public hearing notice was published in the Imperial Valley Press on Friday,
November 28, 2025. Notices were also mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of
the subject site and to all known occupants or business operators within that radius. As
of the date of preparation of this staff report, staff have not received any
communications or comments regarding the project. If approved by the Planning
Commission, conditional use permit 25-04 will be issued to La Plaza Bar.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Article 19, Section 15303(c), Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures and Article 19, Section 15332, Class 32 – Infill Development Projects.
The Class 3 exemption applies to projects involving the conversion of existing small
commercial buildings (less than 2,500SF) from one use to another, where only minor
modifications are made and no expansion of the building footprint occurs. The Class 32
exemption applies to projects that are consistent with the applicable General Plan and
zoning designation, occur within city limits on sites less than five acres, and have no
value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Therefore, the project
qualifies for both Class 3 and Class 32 exemptions under CEQA. The project will not
result in significant environmental impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, or public
services and requires no further CEQA action.
FINDINGS
In determining the advisability of issuing a recommendation for adopting amendments to
Regarding the application for Conditional Use Permit 25-04, the Planning Commission
shall consider the following findings in support of the proposal:
1. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly
one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized by Chapter 29 of the
Municipal Code.
The proposed operation of a lounge bar is conditionally permitted pursuant to
Section 29-61(c)(1) of the El Centro Municipal Code within the Downtown
Commercial (CD) Zone.
2. The proposed use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community, is consistent with the City’s General Plan, and is not
detrimental to existing uses or those specifically permitted in the zone.
The proposed lounge bar will contribute to the vibrancy and economic vitality of
the Downtown Commercial District by activating an underutilized building and
providing an additional entertainment and social venue for the community. The
project is consistent with the following goals from the General Plan:
Land Use Goal 1- Policy 1.8: Achieve and maintain an appropriate
balance, variety, and distribution of commercial uses that provides for the
retail, business, professional, medical/dental, and other commercial and
Page 11 of 37

[PAGE 12]
service needs of the City’s residents and will attract customers and visitors
from the region and beyond. Prioritize infill commercial development
before redesignating non-commercial property to commercial land uses.
The proposed operation of a lounge bar in the Downtown Commercial
area will utilize an existing property to positively contribute to the
downtown atmosphere. The proposed hours will attract customers and
visitors to the area at different times of the day further setting the area
apart as a lively neighborhood with a mix of entertainment options.
Economic Development Goal 7- Policy 7.3: Encourage a mix of different
sizes and types of downtown businesses.
The proposed operation of a lounge bar in the Downtown Commercial
zone supports the expansion of the entertainment industry in this zone.
The size and amenities introduce a different type of bar and nightclub to
this area.
3. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use.
The existing building provides sufficient space for the proposed use, including a
defined bar and lounge area, storage, restrooms, and staff facilities. The property
layout allows for proper circulation, emergency exits, and accessibility from Main
Street and the rear alley.
4. The site for the proposed use relates properly to streets which are
designated to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the
proposed use.
The property fronts Main Street, a two-lane collector road, and has secondary
access through a public alley. The surrounding roadway network is adequate to
accommodate traffic associated with the proposed use. Parking demand will be
met through existing public parking lots and on-street spaces available in the
downtown area.
5. Conditions as stipulated by the City are necessary to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Project conditions of approval are incorporated in the resolution attached as
Exhibit F and will ensure that the health, safety, and welfare of the community is
maintained.
NEXT STEPS
If the Planning Commission decides in favor of the project, staff will commence with
issuing Conditional Use Permit 25-04. The applicant will proceed on submitting building
permit applications for interior improvements. The applicant will also secure all required
licenses from the Alcohol Beverage Control Board, Imperial County Health Department,
and the City of El Centro. Prior to opening staff will inspect the business for compliance.
