File #04.3029 July 19,2004 Page 2 of 4 Exhibit F - Exhibit G - Exhibit H - Exhibit I - Exhibit J - Exhibit K - Exhibit L - Exhibit M Hardcover Analysis ■ Parking Analysis ■ Section 78*71 Non-Conforming Uses List of Permitted, Conditional & Accessory B - 1 Uses Denial Resolution from CUP Request 4-26-04 - Photographs - Property Owner’s List - Plat Map Background The applicant previously applied for a conditional use permit and commercial site plan review in early 2004 in order to convert the existing vacant garage stalls into a restaurant with liquor use. That request was denied on 4-26-04 and the resolution is attached as Exhibit J. The applicant is now proposing to construct a new entrance along the south wall of the building. Included with that request are plans to convert the existing vacant garage stalls into a game room with a connection to the existing bowling alley. The applicant has stated that serving liquor is not part of this proposal. The new entrance is proposed at 16 ’ X 132’ or 2,026 square feet (minus existing bump out) Several doors are proposed from the entrance to the proposed game room, existing bowling alley, and lounge area knowm as The Crib. The applicant has proposed to remove the existing wall of the western 88 ’ of the proposed entrance and install beams to support the upper level. This new space will provide area for coats, shoes, and potentially lockers and be open to the existing bowling alley and lounge area. It is unclear if the existing lounge will be maintained under this new use or if the wall separating it from the bowling alley will be removed. The applicant is also proposing to construct a new staircase connecting the upper level parking lot to the lower level parking lot. This staircase is proposed to replace the existing staircase that runs along the eastern building wall. The applicant will replace the existing retaining walls at a later date, which will not require a building permit as they do not exceed 4 feet m heiglit and will be constructed in the same location as the existing retaining wall system. Because the retaining walls do not require a building permit they have not been included in this commercial site plan review. Issues for Discussion There are a number of issues with the application beyond structural coverage, parking and hardcover. These issues pertain specifically to the uses existing and proposed and whether those uses are permitted under the current Zoning Ordinance. The structural coverage and hardcover requirements should weigh in on any decisions of what should be permitted on site, however, the Planning Commission and Council should determine whether the uses should be permitted first and foremost. The following must be considered when determining what uses should be allowed: 1. The bowling alley is currently a legal non-conforming use. The Code of 1968 listed a bowling alley as a permitted use and Navarre Lanes w'as created during I
