Amendment Application No. 2003-09 General Plan Amendment No. 2003-05 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-31 Variance No. 2003-08 January 20, 2004 Page 8 Planning Commission Review At the November 24, 2003 Planning Commission hearing, staff presented Amendment Application No. 2003-09, General Plan Amendment No. 2003-05, Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-31 and Variance No. 2003-08 for the Planning Commissions consideration. The Planning Commission had several questions regarding the relationship between the completion of site improvement and the opening of the restaurant and the reuse of the housing units. The matter was continued to allow staff the opportunity to address the issues and concerns of the Planning Commission. Based on those comments, staff has incorporated conditions designed to mitigate adverse impacts that may be associated with the project. Specifically, staff has added conditions regarding: the outdoor plaza area and parking lot being completed prior to the opening of the restaurant; the main restaurant access being the northernmost entrance of the west elevation; requiring kitchen facilities within the restaurant; inclusion of a definition for banquet facilities; language regarding cyber caf~ standards; clarification that dance floors require a Police Department permit; parking spaces being dedicated for the existing housing units; Historic Resource Commission conditions being met; ensuring proper maintenance of the plaza area and any water features; and that rooftop signage require a subsequent variance. At the December 22, 2003 hearing, the Planning Commission continued its review of the project with regard to the ancillary uses associated with the proposed restaurant. Specifically, the Commission discussed and later added SD standards as they related to the indoor entertainment and the day and time of the outdoor entertainment. Approval was recommended for General Plan Amendment No. 2003-05, Amendment Application No. 2003-09 to create Specific Development No. 72, Variance No. 2003-08 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-31 per the findings and conditions. Additionally, the Planning Commission modified SD 72 to allow live entertainment with operational standards as recommended, including amended language for Operation Standard No. 6. Based upon the above analysis and the Planning Commission recommendation, staff recommends that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2003-05, Amendment Application No. 2003-09 to create Specific Development No. 72, Variance No. 2003-08 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-31 per the findings and conditions. 75.A.
