FILE#16-3856 <br /> August 15,2016 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> throughout the day and offer food for dine in. Restaurants are defined, but are not permitted uses <br /> in the B-5 zoning district. The applicants propose a business that provides baked goods and drinks <br /> with an expanded menu throughout the day. The applicants intend to apply for a liquor license to <br /> offer beer and wine to the lunch and dinner customers. By definition, businesses offering liquor are <br /> a class II restaurant. An ordinance amendment may be necessary for the city to be able to issue a <br /> liquor license. The menus provided (Exhibit H)are intended to give the Commission an <br /> understanding of the scope of food offerings. The menus will change from time to time. <br /> The proposed business is a combination of many uses: production kitchen, catering establishment, <br /> pastry shop, and small restaurant. The Planning Commission should discuss whether the use is <br /> appropriate in the proposed location. <br /> Restaurants are restricted to certain districts to alleviate potential impacts due to noise (late hours) <br /> and traffic. Commercial zones are intended to generate and capture traffic,the proposed use is not <br /> outside the norm. Staff suggests a limitation on hours to alleviate potential noise concerns. It is <br /> acknowledged that the building will be used during the evening for baking operations. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date (August 10, 2016), no public comments have been received for or against the proposal. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find the use appropriate for the property? <br /> 2. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose additional conditions in order to <br /> mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested Conditional Use Permit? <br /> 3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Recommendation <br /> The proposed use, a bakery and coffee shop with an expanded food menu, while observing the <br /> constraints imposed on coffee/bagel shops, appears to be appropriate at the proposed location. <br /> Should the Commission agree, staff would recommend the following conditions: <br /> The drive thru window shall not be used. <br /> The retail space may not be open past the hours of 10 pm. <br />
