APPROVED BY:

Zoe Merideth, Planning Manager

SUBJECT:

Deer Valley Market (UP2026-0002)

REQUEST
The applicant, Gurmej Singh, requests approval of a Use Permit to operate a convenience
and liquor store in an existing commercial unit at the Deer Valley Square shopping center
at 3440 Deer Valley Road (APN: 052-460-028). The proposed store will sell alcohol, along
with other beverages, snacks, groceries, household items, and convenience goods. The
store will operate seven days a week from 7:00am to 11:00pm and will employ
approximately four people.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving the Use
Permit subject to Conditions of Approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. This section of CEQA
exempts projects that:
• Consist of the operation of existing public or private structures.
• Involve negligible or no expansion of an existing use beyond that existing at the
time of the lead agency determination.
The subject site is an approximately 2,138 square foot unit in an existing, fully developed
retail commercial center. It involves negligible or no expansion of its existing use as a
retail commercial unit.

Agenda Item #

Antioch Planning Commission Report
September 2, 2026 Agenda Item # 6-1

2

BACKGROUND
The proposed convenience and liquor store is located at 3440 Deer Valley Road (APN:
052-460-028). The site is a vacant commercial unit within the Deer Valley Square
shopping center. The subject parcel is 2.33 acres in size. Surrounding land uses include:
•
•
•
•

North: Former Pharmacy Building, PD – Planned Development District
South: Vacant Lot, PD – Planned Development District
East: Drive-Through Restaurant, PD – Planned Development District
West: Senior Residences, PD – Planned Development District

The site is zoned PD – Planned Development District and its General Plan designation is
Mixed Use. The Deer Valley Square Final Development Plan approval indicates that the
intended uses are commercial retail, to be clarified through approval of a Use Permit. A
Use Permit was approved by the Planning Commission in August 1998 for a pharmacy,
restaurant site and retail uses. The Use Permit did not discuss convenience or liquor store
uses. The City’s Zoning Ordinance requires approval of a Use Permit for convenience
store and liquor store uses, where permitted. The appropriate action therefore to permit

Antioch Planning Commission Report
September 2, 2026 Agenda Item # 6-1

3

a convenience and liquor store is to adopt a Use Permit to specifically permit this type of
business at the requested location.
Food and beverage sales establishments are permitted within the Mixed Use General
Plan designation.
ANALYSIS
Project Overview
The applicant is seeking Use Permit approval for the operation of a new convenience and
liquor store with a Type 21 Off-Sale General license from the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). ABC Defines the Type 21 license as:
“Issued to retail stores. Authorizes the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for
consumption off the premises where sold. Minors are allowed on the Premises.”
In addition to alcohol, the proposed store will also sell other beverages, snacks, groceries,
household items, and convenience goods. The plans also show a sandwich counter within
the store. The store will operate seven days a week from 7:00am to 11:00pm and will
employ approximately four people.
Antioch Municipal Code (AMC) section 9-5.3831 “Liquor Establishments” regulates liquor
establishments throughout the city. Section 9-5.3831(A) states:
(A) “No on-sale or off-sale liquor establishments shall be operated within a radius of
500 feet from any other on-sale or off-sale liquor establishments or any school,
public park, playground, recreational center, day care center, or other similar use.”
The proposed location is not within 500 feet of any of these uses.
Parking
The AMC establishes a retail sales requirement of 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square
feet of gross floor area. Therefore, the business would require 11 parking spaces. The
convenience and liquor store is located within an existing shopping center with
approximately 170 parking spaces. Staff does not foresee the new store causing a
parking conflict given the ample available parking at the shopping center.
Conditions of Approval
Staff has prepared Conditions of Approval to ensure code compliance and minimize
compatibility concerns with surrounding uses. For example, the business hours of
operations will be conditioned to 7:00am – 11:00pm, seven days a week with any changes
to the hours requiring Zoning Administrator approval.

Antioch Planning Commission Report
September 2, 2026 Agenda Item # 6-1

4

Another proposed Condition of Approval is that the business will be required to install and
maintain security cameras to provide 24-hour coverage at the store. If there is a violation
of the Conditions of Approval, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to
consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit or imposition of a fine.
AMC section 9-5.3843 Tobacco and Paraphernalia Retailers prohibits the establishment
of new tobacco and drug paraphernalia retailers within the City, with minor exceptions.
Since this is a new establishment, tobacco and paraphernalia sales are prohibited, and a
Condition of Approval is included that reaffirms this.
The proposal was reviewed by the Contra Costa Fire Protection District and Contra Costa
Environmental Health who provided comment letters which have been shared with the
applicant (Attachment D). There are Conditions of Approval that the applicant meet all
requirements of both agencies.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve a Use Permit to operate a
convenience and liquor store in an existing commercial unit at the Deer Valley Square
shopping center at 3440 Deer Valley Road (APN: 052-460-028) subject to Conditions of
Approval.

the following findings pursuant to Section 9-5.2703 “Required Findings” (B)
(1) (a-e) of the Antioch Municipal Code:
a. The granting of such Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public
health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
zone or vicinity.
The project has been designed and conditioned to comply with the
City of Antioch Municipal Code requirements. Operational conditions
such as restrictions on hours, standards for maintenance of the site,
and requirements for security cameras, will minimize impacts. Based
upon the conditions imposed, the convenience and liquor store will not
be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the

A1

PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XX

Page |2

property in the vicinity.
b. The use applied at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Use Permit is authorized.
The site is located within an existing unit in an existing commercial
center. The location’s Planned Development zoning allows for retail
and commercial uses with approval of a Use Permit. The location is
not within 500 feet of any of the sensitive uses identified in Antioch
Municipal Code section 9-5.3831 “Liquor Establishments.”
c. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate such use, and all parking, and other features required.
The project is located in an existing retail commercial center with
ample parking to serve customers.
d. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed
use.
The project site is currently developed as a commercial center and is
located on Deer Valley Road, an arterial with adequate width and
pavement type to carry any traffic generated by the proposed use.
e. The granting of such Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.
The project is consistent with the location’s Mixed Use General Plan
designation, which permits food and beverage retailers.
3.

The project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA,
pursuant to section 15301 – Existing Facilities because the subject site is
an existing unit in an existing, fully developed retail commercial center and
involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use.

4.

Based on its review of the entire record herein, all supporting, referenced,
and incorporated documents, and all comments received, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the requested Use Permit to operate a
convenience and liquor store in an existing commercial unit at the Deer
Valley Square shopping center at 3440 Deer Valley Road (APN: 052-460028), subject to the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit A.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Name: Deer Valley Market
Project Address: 3440 Deer Valley Rd, Antioch, CA 94509
Project Overview
The plan is to create a neighborhood friendly retail convenience and liquor store. The business
will provide local residents and the nearby communities with convenient access to everyday
essentials like beverages, snacks, groceries, household items, and other convenience goods. The
store will help meet the needs of the community while reducing the need for longer trips to a
grocery store for basic convenience purchases.
Hours of Operation
The convenience store will operate seven days per week during Monday – Sunday: 7:00 AM to
11:00 PM. These operating hours are intended to accommodate the schedules of local residents,
commuters, workers, and customers who may require access to convenience goods outside of
traditional business hours.
Employees
The business will need approximately four employees. Staffing levels will vary depending on
customer demand; however, the store will typically operate with one to two employees during
regular business hours. Employees will be responsible for customer service, inventory
management, sales transactions, stocking merchandise, maintaining store cleanliness, and
ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Parking
The proposed business will utilize the existing on-site parking that's provided within the
commercial center. The convenience store is expected to require approximately five parking
spaces during peak hours. Customer visits are expected to be short, consisting primarily of quick
retail purchases and convenience transactions. Due to the high turnover nature of the business,
parking demand is expected to remain low and well within the capacity of the existing parking
supply.

B1

Security and Operational Measures
The business will be professionally managed and operated in compliance with all applicable
local, state, and federal regulations. Security and operational measures will include Interior and
exterior video surveillance systems, Employee training regarding age verification and
responsible alcohol sales, Strict compliance with California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) regulations, and overall regular cleaning and upkeep of the storefront and the
surrounding area. These measures are intended to ensure a safe environment for customers,
employees, neighboring businesses, and the surrounding community.
Summary
The project serves to benefit the local community by providing convenient access to everyday
goods, creating local employment opportunities, supporting economic activity within the
commercial center, and serving the needs of nearby residents and businesses. The project utilizes
an existing commercial space, relies on existing parking infrastructure, and will operate in a safe,
responsible, and community oriented manner. The proposed use of the commercial area will
contribute to the continued success of the shopping center while providing a valuable
neighborhood service for years to come.

Dear NATHAN TINCLAIR :
Contra Costa Environmental Health (CCEH) has received a request for agency
referenced project. See below for our comments grouped by environmental health program:

comment

regarding

the

above

·

A health permit is required for retail food facilities.
Food facilities include restaurants, stores, bars,
cafeterias, snack bars, kiosks at transit sites, and any business or operation that sells or gives food away to
the public (including employees or students).

·

Plans must be submitted to CCEH and approved prior to the issuance of building permits for such facilities.
Prior to the submission of plans, CCEH staff is available to meet with prospective developers/operators to
discuss the requirements for these facilities and the plan review process.

·

Dumpster areas serving retail food facilities are required to have a drain to the sanitary sewer and
provided with a hot/cold water supply.
It is recommended that developers be informed of this
requirement, since it is usually easier to plan for the installation of sewer and water in dumpster areas
during initial construction rather than install these afterwards.

·

All retail food facilities must have approved restrooms. This includes kiosks located at transit sites.
It is
recommended that developers be informed of this requirement, since it is usually easier to plan for the
installation of restrooms during initial construction rather than install these afterwards.

·

Some kitchens at church sites may be exempt from requirements to have plans approved by CCEH and
may not require a health permit if it is not used for any retail use. Please note that retail use includes any
of the following:
·

Providing school lunches.

·

Operating a homeless or senior feeding program.

·

Catering.

·

Events open to the general public where food is sold or given away**.

D1

If the future use of the kitchen includes any activity considered retail in nature, a health permit will be
required prior to commencing such an activity. In this case a plan review would be required as part of the
application process.
Any required upgrades to the kitchen and associated facilities (e.g., dumpster area,
restrooms, janitorial area) would need to be completed before the issuance of a health permit.
**Please note, a temporary event, open to the general public, where food will be sold or given away
requires a temporary event food permit whether or not they are held at the church site or somewhere else.
·

If the project utilizes a mobile food facility (MFF), in addition to a required heath permit, MFFs are also
subject to Contra County Ordinance Section 413-3.1612.
This ordinance contains subsections that limit
the amount of time a vehicle can remain in one location and the hours of operation, and also prohibits
alcohol sales.

·

Mobile food facilities that park in one location for more than one hour must have access to approved
restroom facilities.

·

Plans must be submitted to CCEH and approved prior to the issuance of building permits for such facilities.
Prior to the submission of plans, CCEH staff is available to meet with prospective developers/operators to
discuss the requirements for these facilities and the plan review process.

These comments do not limit an applicant’s obligation to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If the
proposed project is subject to regulation by CCEH, the project tenant must apply for all applicable health permits.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Environmental Health at (925) 608-5500 or
[email protected].
Sincerely,

Kristian Lucas, REHS
Director of Environmental Health
