request for council action DATE: October 19. 1995 ITEM NO.: Department Approval: Name Jeanne A. Matnxsih Title Building & Zoning Adminiss^atcr .Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Zoning Item Description: John O’Sullivan. 3340 Shoreline Drive/2420 Shad>Avood Road - Council Direction A.' 2420 Shadj-wood Road - O’Sullivans/Navarre Auto Repair Staff seeks Council direction concerning an expansion in food ser\'ice use within the "convenience store". Re\ lew E.xhibits D. E and F. In the original layout when the store wa.s opened to the public, food serv ice occupied a quarter of the store area with packaged food and other food items such as hot dogs cooked or heated by microwaves. At the time of the opening, Mr. O'Sullivan advised that he was required to get a license from the Health Department as food was prepared on the premises. The food service area provided heated and refrigerated food display units and a counter against the wall that provided additional food items. There were three or four small tables for customers’ con\ enience. The current food ser\ ice area now occupies approximately half of the con\ enience store. A separate counter area has been installed within the middle also providing expresso coffee. Additional stool and counter area is adjacent to the center counter :irea. A separate cash machine is located behind the counter area so that food service customers can make pavments at the tood serv ice counter rather than at the cenir,il cashier. Tlie Building Department does not issue permits for the relocation of internal structures or the installation of new fi.xtures. In late summer, the Building Inspector stopped the installation of a take-out food service window being installed at the northwest comer of the facility. Refer to E.xhibit F. The work was stopped because a building permit had not been issued (Code would have required a building permit for this type of window installation) and the impros ement proposed a major change in the operation of providing food service. When staff compared the current le\el of food service use with the original, staff advised the owner of a need to apply for a conditional use permit for a restaurant use. Mr. O’Sullivan has set aside his plans to install the food service or take-out window at this time. Review Exhibits B and C. During the review of Application «958 in 1987, the applicant made the City aware of the multiple uses and services that would be provided within the convenience store area. The City questioned the need for a zoning amendment for convenience store use with service station and decided against it finding that the physical limitations of this site and standards of the B-1 Code would be adequate (refer specifically to the section of the staff memo in Exhibit C that addressed this very issue).
