The Livermore Planning Commission is set to host a public hearing Tuesday regarding a 24-hour daily coffee stall proposed for construction in the parking lot of a home-improvement store.
The 7 Brew Coffee drive-thru would be located within the shopping center at the corner of North Mines Road and First Street. The center is anchored by Lowe’s Home Improvement.
Adjacent to the Chili’s Grill & Bar, the approximately 934 square-foot coffee shop would feature dual drive-thru lanes for up to 15 vehicles, a walk-up window and patio seating, an enclosure for trash and recycling, signage and landscaping, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore assistant planner Emily LaDue.
Following the public hearing, the commission is set to consider approving project entitlements including a parcel map waiver/subdivision, conditional use permit and site plan design review, the staff report states.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (Sept. 1). The agenda is available here.

* The Planning Commission is also set to consider whether the city can accept an approximately 1.4-acre land donation under the Livermore General Plan.
Located at 10 N. Murrieta Blvd., the vacant site is owned by Lexington Associates, according to the Alameda County Assessor’s Office.
The owner has proposed paying all back taxes and penalties along with $100,000 to cover in part costs associated with the transaction and property maintenance, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore department assistant Ajaib Sidhu.
The city intends in the future to use the site as a staging area and trailhead for the Arroyo Mocho Trail, but any improvements would require a separate review. Site improvements may include about 18 new parking stalls, bike racks, benches, drinking fountains and an information kiosk, according to the report.
If the planning commission finds the land donation consistent with the general plan, a real property transfer agreement would go before the Livermore City Council in the future.
* The commissioners are set to accept a report regarding the planning department’s current policies and use of artificial intelligence. They initiated the assignment in May, according to the report.
