P12 -1821. Eric DeBlasi, Coconuts Beach Bar and Seafood Grill <br />Application for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a restaurant and <br />bar /night club within an approximately 10,746- square -foot tenant space <br />located at 4825 Hopyard Road, Suites 4 -10, in the Gateway Square <br />Shopping Center. Zoning for the property is PUD -I /C -O (Planned Unit <br />Development- Industrial /Commercial — Office) District. <br />Rosalind Rondash presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key <br />elements of the proposal. She then called the Commission's attention to a memo that <br />staff had earlier provided to the Commission regarding some revisions to the Conditions <br />of Approval addressing concerns that had arisen after the staff report was published. <br />She added that Lt. James Knox of the Police Department was in attendance to answer <br />any questions related to public safety. <br />In response to Vice Chair Pearce's request, Ms. Rondash pointed out on the displayed <br />floor plan the location of the front door, the reception area, and the secondary door. <br />Referring to the history of the site, Commissioner O'Connor noted that at one time, the <br />former business, Club Neo, was allowed over 800 occupants but its operator had <br />indicated that it had never actually exceeded a certain number, which he thought was <br />around 600. He asked Ms. Rondash if she recalled what that maximum occupancy <br />was. <br />Julie Harryman requested Commissioner O'Connor to take a look at the note she had <br />earlier handed to him. <br />After reading the note, Commissioner O'Connor indicated that he needed to recuse <br />himself because while this subject facility is more than 500 feet from a building he owns, <br />it is within 500 feet of his building's parking lot. He noted that he did recuse himself for <br />the Club Neo discussions. He then recused himself due to this conflict of interest. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that she did not see any reference to no in- and -out <br />privileges in the Conditions of Approval and inquired if she missed that. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 27, 2013 Page 4 of 22 <br />
