Planning Commission Meeting Minutes dated November 20, 1991 E. Location and Notification Map STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Case No. P21-1206 modifying the conditions of approval for UP-91-77 based on the findings and conditions of approval in Exhibit A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal would remove existing CUP (UP-91-77) Condition of Approval No. 6, prohibiting the consumption of alcohol outside of an existing bar (Sunshine Saloon) at the subject location. Due to the current pandemic, on June 19, 2020, Sunshine Saloon received approval for temporary outdoor dining, including outdoor alcohol service, at this location. This temporary outdoor dining approval has operated since that time without any reported incidents or complaints. Sunshine Saloon seeks to remove Condition of Approval No. 6 from their existing CUP to facilitate permanent outdoor dining, with alcohol service, at the subject location. The existing CUP for Sunshine Saloon includes conditions of approval which would continue to ensure the safety and general welfare of the surrounding area, and the City in general, is maintained. Similarly, additional conditions of approval have been included with staff's recommendation on this proposal ensuring the existing bar's continued conformance with these standards. This proposal is now before the Planning Commission for consideration. n discussed the proposed lift and questioned whether the project was better without the lift or with the lift that would get used when needed. Commissioner Brown stated the tenant might use the lift if they had two cars or to store a car used infrequently. He discussed options for the Commission's recommendations on the project. Chair Pace asked if any Commissioners had concerns about the design. The Commissioners indicated support for the design and clarified that the only concerns were related to parking. Commissioner Allen moved to deny the project as proposed. Ms. Clark stated the applicant could appeal the decision to the City Council. Commissioner Brown moved to approve the project removing the lift and lift screening but approve the in-lieu parking fee. The motion died due to lack of a second. Commissioner Gaidos seconded Commissioner Allen's motion to deny the project. Planning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 9 January 12, 2022 asked why the project was proposing the lift.
