Date Application Received: 01/20/2021 <br />Date Application Considered as Complete: 02/02/2021 <br />60-Day Review Period Expires: 04/03/2021 <br /> <br /> <br />To: Chair Ressler and Planning Commission Members <br /> Ron Olson, Interim City Administrator <br /> <br />From: Melanie Curtis, Planner mcc <br /> <br />Date: 16 February 2021 <br /> <br />Subject: #LA-000011, Jason Fischer & Kara Honebrink, 3420 (3216) Shoreline Drive, <br />CUP – Expand Lulu’s Pizzeria <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />Lulu’s Pizzeria opened their takeout and delivery restaurant in May of 2020 in the old D’Vinci’s <br />space. Their website is https://pizzerialulu.com/. An adjacent tenant vacancy has provided <br />them with an opportunity to expand their kitchen and prep spaces as well as add some “take <br />and bake” cooler spaces. See Exhibit B for the applicants’ narrative and business details. <br />Restaurants are a conditional use in the B-1 district. A conditional use permit is required in order <br />to expand the restaurant use into adjacent space. <br /> <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Restaurant Use (Code Section 78-644) <br />The City Code separates restaurants into two separate categories. The different distinctions in <br />the restaurant categories are not necessarily in line with contemporary restaurant models, <br />including the proposal. The primary difference between the two categories is live entertainment <br />and/or intoxicating liquor sales, neither of which are provided by the applicants’ establishment. <br />The applicants’ restaurant provides takeout and delivery service with no dine in or seating <br />opportunities. <br />Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-916) <br /> <br />The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use <br />Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the <br />application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the <br />proposed location is or will be: <br />1) Consistent with the community management plan; A restaurant use in the B-1 <br />zoning district is consistent with the CMP. This criterion is met. <br />Application Summary: The applicants are requesting conditional use permit in order to expand <br />the existing delivery/take out restaurant into adjacent vacant space. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
