TPB Studio, will operate as an event center or venue offering flexible space configurations for gatherings ofdifferent sizes. The Central Business District is intended to accommodate the commercial offices and service, residential and public activities. The use of an event center at this location will promote pedestrian activity and aid in economic growth of the downtown area. Although the CBD district does not have parking requirements, our City"s Traffic Engineer has concerns that on - street parking could become overcrowded and prevent emergency services access during larger events. Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions- 1. Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for water and sanitary sewer services, including any requirements of the City's backflow, pre-treatment and/or FOG program. 2. Construction plans shall comply with all applicable Fire and Building Code requirements. S. To ensure safety and prevent future parking issues during large events, the owner will need to submit a written parking agreement with nearby property owners to ensure proper overflow parking. It will be the responsibility of the owner to enforce overflow parking during events. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections toverify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
