Hello,
I am writing about a business I would like to bring to Manteca, California. I want to sell easels. I want to call it "A Manteca Easel Really Important Company of America" (AMERICA for short). I really enjoy art and believe that this niche company will really strive in Manteca. I plan to sell at sorts of easels (red, white, blue, tall, short, fat, green, rubber, metal, wood, white, etc.). My store would sell solely easels and would have a very patriotic (Should I capitalize that? I can never remember.) theme. I love America and believe most people do. I think once people start to like art, my store will take off and will become a worldwide phenomenon. I may sell trinkets, I have not yet decided. I will give out free ones on my first day. You can have one.
Please let me know what I need to in order to start my easel business. I want to start as soon as possible as art season is heating up.
Thanks,
Sasha

Hi Sasha, my name is Alma Martinez and I'm a planning technician for the Community Development, Planning Division for the City of Manteca. I've been assigned to respond back to your email. I wanted to first ask you if you've found a place here in Manteca that you would like to lease or purchase for your business? If so, I will need the physical address so I can look at the zoning of the property to determine whether retail sales is an allowed use in that district. Next, I will need to see what businesses have been occupied in that location and check whether retail sales was one of them.
I will need this information first and then we can discuss other questions you may have. I'm looking forward to working with you. I can be reached at (209) 825-2582 if you need to contact me by phone or email.
Thank you kindly,
Planning Technician

Mr. Martinez,
Thank you for the quick response. However, following breakfast this morning, I realized it is not easels I really want to sell. I want to sell pancakes! Therefore, I would like to open up a pancake restaurant. I want to call it Jack's Jacks. I have even thought of the motto: "Jack's Jacks. Our pancakes are good good." I plan to decorate with all things Jack. I even plan to mix Jack Daniels into the maple syrup. This will give people a good pick-me-up before work, church, soccer practice, etc. Of course, we will need to ID patrons and make sure no one is drinking the maple syrup straight from the bottle. These bottles will be clearly distinguished from the other bottles.
Please let me know what codes I will need to adhere to now that I am opening a restaurant. I would like to get started as soon as possible to take advantage of pancake season. I have secured the necessary funding and will be looking to rent at a downtown location.
Thank you very much!
Sasha

Good morning Sasha,
We need restaurants downtown! When you find a location let's make sure it is zoned Commercial. I think your idea is great. We have a few restaurants in Manteca that serve breakfast but don't have enough downtown or the West side of Yosemite Avenue, except for a donut shop and fast-food.
Also, when you find a location and if it doesn't have a kitchen, then you will need to install one and it will take a building permit from the City Building Department and pay a sewer project allocation fee of $500 to the Planning Department. This will allow you to be granted the additional gallons per sewer you need for the restaurant. You will also need to submit plans, so it is important to find a designer or architect and a contractor to help you with the remodel. Check if any of your relatives or friends can recommend you to someone.
Serving of alcohol will require a liquor license (Jack Daniels Syrup) from the Alcohol and Beverage Control Department and a Health Permit will be required from the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department for the serving of food. These two departments are not in the City of Manteca but here is their phone number so you can call them for requirements on the restaurant.
I can help further once you find an exact location, but before you commit to a lease give me a call first. I hope this information is helpful.
Talk to you soon.
Take care,
Alma Martinez

Alma,
I realized today that I want to sell both pancakes and easels. My new business will be called "A Manteca Easel Really Important Company of America Nation Jacks" (AMERICAN Jacks for short). My motto will now be "If you like AMERICA and pancakes, come here. Also come here if you like art easels." I think it is catchy. My neighbor told me she really likes it as well. My plan is to have many easels set up throughout my business with pancakes on each of them. The pancakes will be decorated as faces of American Jacks. For example, Jack Nicklaus, Jack Nicholson, John F "Jack" Kennedy, Jack the Ripper, Jack Bauer, Jack Black, and Jack and Diane. People will come in and observe the pancakes on the easels then decide on who looks most delicious. They will point it out and I will bring them their pancake. I will have a package discount if they purchase the easel as well. They can also buy just the easel. I am selling BOTH easels and pancakes. I am still planning on having Jack Daniels in the maple syrup. I think people will really like this. I do not think I will have trinkets anymore, unless people think I should. Do you think I should also sell trinkets?
Please let me know what you think of my business idea. I have created my final business plan today. I am anticipating great things! I would like to be open by June so I will need your assistance in getting started.
Thanks in advance,
Sasha

Hi Sasha,
I love your idea! It's creative and I think it will catch people's attention. We need something like this downtown.
Again, I do need a physical address for your proposed location so that I can look at the zoning of the property. Once I see that it's zoned Community Commercial or General Commercial, then we can start the application process for the paperwork.
The following will be required if the property for your proposed business has the right zoning for a restaurant and retail use:
Submit a building permit and construction plans to the Building Department for installation of the kitchen and remodel. Installation of the sign for the business will also require a separate building permit. Please contact the Building Department at (209) 239-8421 for more information.
Pay a $500 sewer project allocation fee for the restaurant use to the planning department (that's me).
Submit an application with the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control for serving of alcohol for the maple syrup. Contact the ABC Dept. at (209) 948-7739. They are located in Stockton, CA.
Submit a business license with the Finance Department. Contact Mary Bingham at the Finance Department at (2090 825-2328.
Contact the San Joaquin County Health Department for inspections and permits to serve food. They may be reached at (209) 468-3420.
Please keep in mind each department will have a separate fee and you will need to contact them directly to inquire about their submittal requirements for your proposed business.
Have a great day!
Thanks,
Alma Martinez
