Date Action X Formal Action/Motion Title Requested Informational Other Rezoning , Conditional Use July 19, 1983 Parking Variance Request File No. 04-63 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO: St. Anthony Planning Commission FROM: David M. Childs , City Manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUM14ARY DISCUSSION OF SUBJECT: Attached is a request from Kin Lun Kwong, 5001 Clearview Ave. , Fridley for t ree approvals as follows : (1 ) Rezoning from R-1 to C- Commercial for Lot 2 Block 6 Murray Heights Addition (Good Luck Cafe) . Lot 1 is alread zoned C-Commercial ; (2) Conditional -use approval to allow expansion of a restaurant on Lots 1 and 2, per Section 9, Subd. 3. 12 of the Zoning Ordinance; and (3) A variance to allow 22 parking spaces as opposed to the 85 spaces required by the Zoning Ordin- ance. (Please note that this is different from the legal notice because more detailed plans have been received from the applicant) . ALTERNATIVES : Any expansion of the use would require rezoning and a conditional use. The proposed cleanup of the property would be an improvement , however, a restaurant of 2787 square feet on two small residential lots represents a fairly intensive use and the proposed 22 spaces would be grossly inadequate. The applicant has been advised of the staff recommendation. RECOWIENDATION: Depending upon final design of the restaurant and its 1 ocat i n on the property, some expansion of the building could be accommodated, but an increase of about 360% is not recommended by staff. Doubling the size from 765 square feet to 1500 square feet and seating 45 people would require 48 parking spaces. Staff rec- ommends that the applicant be asked to redraw his plans for a smaller expansion, i .e. , 1500 sq. ft. or so, and that the request be tabled for 1 month to allow him to do so. If applicant does not wish to decrease the size, staff recommends denial .
