The expansion of the Deaf Puppy Comedy in downtown as well as what could be Manteca’s first four-story apartment complex are before the Manteca Planning Commission on Thursday.

The commission meets at 6 p.m. at the Civic Center council chambers, 1001 W. Center St.

The Deaf Puppy Comedy Club — that hosts a wide variety of entertainment in addition to weekly professional comedy shows as well as a bar and grill that is open Tuesday through Sunday — is in the 100 block of North Main Street.

The current footprint is 3,250 square feet.

They are seeking approve to expand food service into a 3,250 square foot patio plus expand into an adjoining suite to add a 575 square-foot lounge.

Wawona Apartments

What could be Manteca’s first four-story apartment complex — and the only newer apartment construction with an interior hallway on each floor — is being proposed on Wawona Street east of Airport Way.

The one-story, 44-unit complex is being proposed on three parcels being combined to make a 1.67 acre site.

Most of it is tucked behind existing homes along Wawona built when they were not in the city limits.

A parcel that aligns with the intersection of Boxcar Drive and Wawona Street will serve as the sole access point.

Planned land use to the north of the proposed apartment complex is high density residential in a commercial mixed use zone.

To the south, it is low density residential and commercial, to the west residential estate, and to the east general commercial.

Each of the four floors would have 11,999 square feet each.

The 44 units would be split between one bedroom, one bathroom units of 832 square feet; one bathroom, one bedroom units of 774 square feet; two bedroom, one bathroom units of 991 square feet; and two bedroom, two bathroom units of 1,388 square feet.

The four-story building would be 59 feet high.

The complex would have an elevator and two stairways.

There would be a separate one-story office building.
