HomeMy WebLinkAbout2246-P DATE: October 19, 2015 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a specific use permit to allow parking for a restaurant in RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization). FILE: 2246-P ___ STAFF REPORT Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Landscaping and screening be installed and maintained as per ordinance requirements, including provision of island, medians and/or peninsulas and perimeter buffer. 2. Irrigation system shall be installed and maintained for all required landscaping. Akram Khalil would like to use the property located at 958 & 978 Orange Avenue and 1350 Gilbert Street to expand the parking for a proposed restaurant to be located at 1325 College Street. The restaurant will be located in GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) zoning and, since a Specific Use Permit is not required, plans are under review. During preliminary review it was noted that parking would not be sufficient. This additional parking would bring the applicant into compliance with current requirements. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
