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 /> Conditional Use Permit Analysis <br /> Staff finds the applicant's request to open a new restaurant that serves liquor at 2160 Wayzata <br /> Boulevard West to be an appropriate use for the site. The current multi-tenant building has an <br /> existing catering kitchen. The applicant plans to use and upgrade this kitchen and take over two <br /> vacant tenant spaces for use of a dining room area. No exterior modifications are proposed as this <br /> time. The use of a restaurant in this area seems compatible with the neighboring tenants which <br /> operate during the day and the anticipated peak times for the restaurant is in the evenings. <br /> Public Comments <br /> No public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the CUP, if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to <br /> mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested CUP? <br /> 3. Does the Planning Commission find it necessary to impose conditions related to <br /> parking such as the requirement of striping the parking spaces? <br /> 4. The applicant is proposing to bring a new dumpster to the site. Should a dumpster <br /> encloser be required with the application? <br /> 5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the Condition Use Permit (CUP) with the condition to <br /> stripe the parking lot. <br />
