STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission Report No.: VII.2 From: Kim Moore-Sykes,Assistant City Manager Date: August 16, 2005 Subject: City Code Text Change and Conditional Use Permit Request- 2829 Anthony Lane South Date Application Received: June 30,2005 Property Address: 2829 Anthony Lane South Zoning District: LI 60-Day Expires: August 30,2005 Requested Action: Eric Reiners,architect with Welman Sperides Architects,representative for The International Union of Operating Engineers,Local 49,has requested a public hearing for their proposal to amend the City's Zoning Code to include catering activities as a permitted conditional use in the Industrial Zoning District. Background: The IUOE Local 49 recently opened their newly constructed catering kitchen and related facilities. They are interested in opening them to the public. Originally, staff understood that this new facility was to be used for private,in-house use. In reviewing the City's Zoning Ordinance,there is no allowance given for this use either as a permitted use or a permitted conditional use. The Commercial zoning district does allow activities similar to catering or as a facility that would support catering as a permitted conditional use. See Section 1635.03 (c) and (p). Concerns regarding traffic and parking associated with this proposal created a need to discuss this request at a concept review,which was held on July 19,2005. Because the uses allowed in this district already create high volumes of traffic,accommodate parking needs and suppose increased noise levels,including catering activities as a permitted conditional use for the Industrial Zoning District would not significantly increase parking,traffic or noise. The applicant suggested at the concept review that the catering facilities would mostly used on the weekends when most of the operations located in the Industrial Park would be closed or limited in their operations. By allowing catering activities as a permitted conditional use, it will give the City the ability to place conditions on this use to protect the community and the public using these proposed catering facilities. Proposed Text: 1640.03 Permitted Conditional Uses. The following uses are permitted in an LI District only by a conditional use permit issued by the Council: (h) Assembly, meeting lodge,or convention halls. (i) Catering operations,cafeterias and delicatessens. H.\Planning\Staff Reports\2005\081605 Staff Report IU049text chg conditional use.doc
