Handels Ice Cream

The City of La Mesa Community Development Department is processing a special permit request for outdoor dining for a new Handels Ice Cream shop located at 7995 La Mesa Boulevard in La Mesa, California. Proposed by Frank Wright, the project is situated within the CD-D Downtown Commercial Urban Design Overlay zone. The primary objective is to secure the necessary permits to allow for outdoor dining services at this specific location. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically falling under Categorical Exemption Class 1 for existing facilities and Class 3 for the new construction or conversion of small structures. This determination is based on the project involving minor alterations with negligible expansion of existing use. Administrative oversight is provided by Jared Chavez, the Assistant Director of Community Development for the City of La Mesa.
