Resolution 10-052; Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Restaurant located within <br />250 feet from a Residential Structure or District for the property located at 3701 Stinson <br />Boulevard. <br />Mr. Don Jensen, Planning Commission Chair, reported that the Planning Commission held a <br />public hearing last week to consider IHOP's request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the <br />location of an IHOP restaurant within 250 feet from a residential district. He stated that the <br />applicant's plans as submitted were not amended by the Planning Commission and the <br />Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit with four <br />conditions noted. He advised that the Planning Commission also reviewed the applicant's <br />request for a Conditional Use Pe1mit to operate a drive-thru window and explained that this will <br />not be a drive-thru window typical of a fast food restaurant because the drive-thrn window will <br />only offer coffee, smoothies, and pastries. He added that the drive-thru window concept <br />represents a new business enhancement being offered by IHOP. He indicated that the Planning <br />Commission added a fifth condition with respect to exiting maneuvering and after discussion, the <br />Planning Commission felt that b ecause the IHOP is the sole use in that quadrant, it would take a <br />"wait and see" attitude regarding repositioning the curb cut if it can be determined that a <br />vehicular accident is directly related to the drive-thru facility. He stated that access to the d1ive- <br />thru window could be moved further to the north to remove any type of traffic conflict and the <br />applicant was amenable to that condition. <br />Councilrnember Stille asked if the Planning Commission discussed the possibility of setting <br />hours for operation of the drive-thrn window versus limiting the hours from opening to an hour <br />before closing. <br />Mr. Jensen stated that it is not the intent of the restaurant to be open 24 hours and, therefore, did <br />not feel it was necessary to clarify specific hours of operation of the drive-tlu·u window.
