Flit ■04-2»77 ApHI 16. 2004 Pa|c2orS Exhibit E - Council Memo dated 3-16-04 RE; Request for Liquor License Exhibit F - Council Minutes from 3-22-04 Meeting RE: Liquor License Exhibit G - Memo to Applicants RE; Staff Concerns dated 4-12-04 Exhibit H - 60-Day Extension Letters Exhibit I • B - 1, General Business District Standards Exhibit J - Public Hearing Notice to Neighbor's \^ithin 3S0' Background This application was originally heard at the January 20, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting several neighbors voiced concerns regarding the application and their written comments can be found in the Staff Report attached as Exhibit C. Many of the concerns related to the proposed liquor license which was applied for by the profiosed restaurant owner, Paul Ode. The continued review of this application should be conducted with the understanding that a liquor license will be applied for in conjunction with the uses, however the City Council ultimately determines whether a liquor license will be granted through a separate public hearing. An initial request by Mr. Paul Ode for a liquor license was denied by the City Council on March 22, 2004 (see attached minutes. Exhibit F). Currently, Paul Ode has indicated that a new partner wrill apply for a liquor license, which will require another public heanng by the City Council. The City Council's previous denial was based on false information provid^ on the application by Mr. Paul Ode. The denial was also based on the site's proximity to a residential neighborhood and liquor having a greater potential for more noise, public disturbances, litter, damage to property and calls to police. "nic Planning Commission, at the Jt. uary 20*’’ meeting, moved that the application be tabled to allow the applicant to work with staff to draft plans finalizing a number of issues. The application did not go back to the Plan-ning Commission, until njw, because of the uncertainty that centered on appraval of the liquor license. Although staff is fairly certain that the Council will not approve a liquor license, the applicants wish to continue review of their project. Below is a list of items the Planning Commission reouested further review of at the January 20*^ meeting: • revised parking plan incorporating a 10' green space yard along Shoreline Drive and Kelly Avenue, • analysis of the current parking demands and the required parking of the entire site. • revised plans depicting areas of loading, • specific signage proposed, • current and proposed lighting locations, and • a landscape plan This report will focus on the issues above and specifically the eHects of a restaura.it with liquor and without liquor. The Planning Commission should review the issues and give the applicant guidance on what the Planning Commission and ultimately the Council might see as appropriate uses for this site.
