* Remodel the building interior and operate a restaurant that serves dinner to the public daily and holds private functions during non-dinner hours; * Allow consumption of alcoholic beverages at the restaurant after 10:00 p.m. (PCUP-182); • Establish a building envelope at the former sales office building location for the construction of a future residence; and • Approve proposed design guidelines for the future home. The proposed restaurant would be open daily. It is dinner-only restaurant with the following operation hours: • Sunday -Thursday: 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. — dining hours • Friday/Saturday, and the 6:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. — dining hours day before a Federal holiday: Staff of the restaurant may be on premises from 9:00 a.m. to closing time for daily administrative duties and restaurant preparation. The applicant also proposes to host daily private functions at the restaurant. These functions may include weddings, corporate events, etc. In order to offset any scheduling conflict and any potential impacts to Ruby Hill residents, restaurant patrons, and the public in general, the private functions would take place during non-dining hours, i.e., between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. It allows one hour to get the restaurant ready for the 6:00 p.m. dining schedule. Outdoor dining/activity hours are limited to 9:00 p.m. Refinements to Plans Made During Plan Check As it was previously mentioned, minor revisions were made to the 2007 approved plans during the plan check process. The most noticeable revision was to add an approximately 382-square-foot addition (22.5'x17') to the right side of the second floor dining area of the restaurant as an area to prepare food before serving and to function as a service station. This addition has resulted in changes to the building's front, right and rear elevation. However, given the positioning of the building, these changes would not be very visible from Vineyard Avenue or from residential properties in Ruby Hill. Several interior floor plan modifications have been made to the proposed building. Stairs, dining areas, restrooms, kitchen area have been rearranged. The interior floor plan changes resulted in the main floor and the second floor to function as dining areas only. Restrooms and kitchen area were relocated to the basement area. Additionally, the basement area was enlarged by approximately 850 square feet in the back to be in alignment with the building above. This change was recommended by the project structural engineer to hold the bearing weight of the building. The increased basement area enlarges storage capacity only. Two exterior staircases were added on the right and left sides of the basement area. The top of the stairs daylights with the ground; thus, they are not "visible" except for the safety railings.
