(03 -100) Applicant: William J. Madden, property owner Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Item Summary: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a night club in order to add entertainment - oriented uses to the existing Texadelphia Sandwiches Restaurant.

The hours of operation will be extended to 11:00 p.m. No changes to signage or the building facade are being proposed at this time. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this entire area for redevelopment. Texadelphia renovated the structure in 1999 and the Northgate Review Board approved all facade improvements at that time. College Main is classified as a Major Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan. The property is surrounded by Kyoto Sushi to the south across Patricia Street, A &M United Methodist Church education and fellowship building to the east across College Main, the Northgate promenade in the rear of the building, and The Baptist Student Center to the north of the property. Item Background: The property was incorporated as part of the original City limits in 1938. This area was zoned NG -1 Historic Northgate in 1996 as part of a City initiated rezoning of the Northgate area. A Conditional Use Permit was recently granted for the reconstruction of the education and fellowship building for A &M United Methodist Church across College Main.
