Amendment to CUP No. 2011-07 October 10, 2012 Page 2 Use Permit No. 2011-15 allowed the restaurant to operate until 2:00 a.m.; and Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-16 permifted a banquet facility at the restaurant. Following the granting of these entitlements the applicant revised his business plans resulting in a proposal for a new configuration of the restaurant's serving areas. The applicant is proposing to remodel the ground floor and expand into the two existing tenant spaces, and create two outdoor dining patios, one facing Main Street and the other at the rear of the building facing a parking lot. The applicant is not proposing to make any exterior changes to the building. The restaurant currently accommodates about eight patrons within its 1,200 square foot ground floor tenant space and another 128 patrons within the second floor restaurantlbanquet space, After the expansion, approximately 236 patrons will be able to be accommodated on both floors of the restaurant and another 22 within the outdoor patios. The on-premise sale of alcoholic beverages to customers is intended to provide a service ancillary to the primary restaurant use. In order to allow for these expanded alcohol serving areas, Karmina is requesting an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit to that previously approved a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control {ABC) license, which allows the an-premise sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits. The storage areas for the alcoholic beverages will be located on both the first and second floors. A 60 square foot storage area will be located within the kitchen area of the first floor. In addition, a 160 square foot liquor storage room and 63 square foot of storage area behind the bar will be provided on the second floor. The overall storage of alcoholic beverage consists of approximately 283 square feet, which is approximately three percent of the floor area and is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the restaurant (Exhibits 3 and 4). Project Background Karmina Restaurant is an independently-owned restaurant specializing in Mexican casual cuisine. This business has been operating at this location since February 200$. Several restaurant tenants have occupied the space over the years; however, none have had an ABC license. With the exception of several special events held in the banquet hall on the second floor, the restaurant has not begun to serve alcohol. Until recently, the restaurant primarily served the area's weekday lunch crowd and operated from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The restaurant has been closed in order to begin construction of the new tenant improvements. When the applicant completes the remodel of the building he plans to operate from 1'1:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 9:00 a.m. until midnight on Sunday.
