The property is <br />located in the B-l Retail Sales Business District in which a Class II Restaurant is defined as a <br />restaurant which serves intoxicating liquor or has live entertainment. Expansion of the building <br />requires the owner to obtain a conditional use permit since Class II Restaurants are allowed by CUP. <br />City files inalcate no CUP has ever been issued for a restaurant on this property. The use has <br />required a CUP in the B-I zone since, at least 1967. Expansion of the facility into the former <br />Minnetonka Photo space and a 4' addition to the bathrooms now requires a conditional use permit. <br />Also, the B-l district requires a commercial site plan review before a building permit can be issued. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: <br />The Planning Commission reviewed this application and held public hearings on August 21,2000 <br />and September 18,2000 and recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 1.
