STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Tony Nguyen, representing Koi Sushi, LLC, has applied for a specific
use permit to allow a sushi restaurant and bar in a PUD District.
The property is located at 3350 Dowlen Road., Suite C.
In 1999, City Council approved a request to change the zoning of the
subject property from RS to RM-H with a specific use permit for
professional offices. In 2001, City Council approved a request to
change the zoning of the Tuscany Park development to PUD to allow
for some flexibility in land uses. Since the PUD zoning was granted,
specific use permits for a variety of commercial uses have been
granted.
The Koi Sushi Restaurant would be a welcome addition to Tuscany
Park. The restaurant and bar will be open Monday through
Wednesday, 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Thurdsday through Saturday, the restaurant will be open until 2:00
a.m. Tuscany Park is a mix of offices, retail stores and restaurants
and Koi Sushi Restaurant would enhance the development=s role as a
major commercial destination.
Exhibits are attached.
