Act Deadline: February 3, 2002
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This proposal is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified in Section 15303(e).
PROPOSAL:
The applicant has submitted a request to install an Automated Teller Machine in the wall of an existing business located at 98 Main Street. The existing business is Tiburon Mail Services, which has frontage on the Main Street parking lot behind Ark Row. The ATM would be located in an existing window frame on the right side of the building façade. The machine itself is 31 inches tall and 19.5 inches wide. The replacement of the existing window with the machine is considered a minor alteration in the downtown area; therefore the project requires review by the Design Review Board.
ANALYSIS:
Zoning
The Zoning Ordinance does not preclude the installation of ATMs in the downtown area. According to Staff research there is currently one similar ATM located near the patio of Sam’s Anchor Café located on Main Street. The project appears to meet the requirements of the NC zoning district.
Design issues
The ATM would be installed to be slightly recessed in the existing window frame. There would be no additional lighting required for the machine, and access to the machine would be sufficiently covered by an existing overhang. Staff foresees no design issue with this application.
Public Comment
To date, no public comment has been received regarding this application.
