STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional use permits are granted by the Commission, subject to appropriate
conditions and safeguards, when the Commission finds:
A. That the proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the
Zoning Ordinance for this type of use;
B. That the proposed use is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance and the plan for physical development of the district as
embodied in the comprehensive plan for the development of the City;
C. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and
safety of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be substantially
or permanently injurious to neighboring property.
(See sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
This request involves the conversion of the existing Ferreri's restaurant into a brew pub
featuring some evening entertainment, which for zoning purpos~s classifies the use as a
night club. The existing 23 parking spaces meet the current parking requirements for the
existing restaurant, which were determined in 1989 by a ZBA parking variance. However,
the change of use from a restaurant to a night club increases the required parking. The
following table illustrates the. parking calculation.
Required Parking Calculation
Total Building Area: 10,800 square feet
Minus Brewing Equipment Area: -1,065 square feet
Building Area for Parking: 9,735 square feet
Night Club Parking Requirement: 1 space per 50 square feet
Minus Parking Variance: -111 spaces
Total Required Parking: 84 spaces
. MinusExi~t~n~Parkina:, . ,-23 sEaces
Additional :Parking Required: 61 spaces
The current parking requirement for a night club is 1 space per 50 square feet of building
area. Approximately 1,065 square feet of the existing 10, 800 square foot building will be
used for storage tanks and other brewing equipment, and is excluded from the parking
requirement. Therefore, the aqditionalrequiredparkingfor the 9,735 square foot area,
minus the existing spaces and the previously granted variance is 61 parking spaces.
As illustrated in the attached. site plan, the applicant has purchased the adjacent parking
area of Lot 2 of the Brandywine Subdivision. According to the conceptual parking layout,
the adjacent lot will provide 67 parking spaces, which exceeds the additional required
parking by 5 spaces.
The access to the frontage road 'and Valley View is also in compliance with the
requirements placed on the Brandywine final plat. Staff therefore recommends approval
of this request.
