FILE # LA21-000011 <br />16 Feb 2021 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, <br />a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are <br />observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official <br />controls to change the status of conditional uses. <br /> <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis: <br />The applicant has been operating from the existing space since May of 2020. This expansion will <br />not only provide more kitchen work space, it will also add a new employee break and coat room, <br />an office, a second restroom, and a small retail space. The customer entry will move to the <br />street front, the existing west entrance off of the parking lot will serve as the delivery driver <br />access. The restaurant is open, and its peak times are generally over the dinner hour. The <br />adjacent businesses peak times are generally earlier in the day. <br /> <br />Parking: <br />City Code 78-1516 states that a restaurant use is required at least one parking space per 80 <br />square feet of public space. The existing restaurant has approximately 230 square feet of public <br />space. With the changes, the existing public space will be primarily used for delivery ins and <br />outs, but may still be accessible to the public for takeout pickups. The proposed new formal <br />public space is approximately 270 square feet (total of 500) requiring 6.25 parking spaces. <br />According to the ordinance, the proposal increases the parking demand by 4 spaces. <br /> <br />Customers will primarily park in the private parking area to the west, or available on-street <br />parking. The applicants have identified five parking stalls in the west parking lot for customers <br />and parking located in the rear of the building for employees and overflow. The public parking <br />lot adjacent also provides additional overflow. <br /> <br />Comments from the applicants regarding parking: <br />“Our delivery drivers do not have designated spaces. We will either have one or a maximum of <br />two on any given shift. Generally, they park down below in either the city lot or in those 12 <br />spaces that are private for the rest of the building. <br /> <br />The 12 spaces for our building on [sic] 28 feet deep. So those are single spaces. <br />Currently, the other businesses that share the business with us in the building are: <br /> <br />1) Lakeshore Interiors (Customer Entrance off Shoreline Dr - They keep a delivery van in back lot <br />using one of -12 spaces). <br />2) Cookie Cups (Only Entrance is off of Shoreline Dr - They posted on their website that they are <br />not open for walk-ins any longer) <br />3) Gallery Navarre closed the first of the year. They were in the lower level. <br />4) There is a gallery in a separate building that started offering art classes in our building. Their <br />only entrance is on Shoreline Dr. <br />5) Lastly, there is a glass repair business on the lower level that apparently has closed or is in <br />process of closing. The operated [sic] of this business did not park there but would occasionally <br />have a customer park in front of his door. <br /> <br />So, there is only one other business currently operating consisting during business hours. That is <br />Lakeshore Interiors. The other businesses are either no longer operating or in the case of the art <br />lessons, they are sporadic and by appointment.”
