to add mitigating conditions of approval. Such conditions could include the hiring of additional security guards to patrol the parking area, reducing the hours of operation, and/or eliminating the use of the outdoor patio area(s) for alcoholic beverage consumption. There is also the potential that the residents on St, Mary and Division Streets and west of Peters Avenue could be disturbed by late-night patrons parking in the public on-street parking spaces in front of their residences, particularly if the patrons were disorderly or loud. Therefore, staffhas included a condition of approval that requires the applicant to encourage her patrons via flyer,s or small signs in the interior of the establishment to not utilize the on-street parking spaces in the residential area west of Peters Avenue after 10:00 p.m. A condition also requires that the applicant install small signs near the exit doors requesting that customers not loiter outside and to be courteous and quiet when leaving the business and parking area. With the conditions described above, staff feels that noise impacts on the surrounding properties would be mitigated to meet City standards. As discussed above, staff has conditioned the project so that if there are any future complaints regarding noise, the project can be reviewed again to add mitigating conditions of approval. Furthermore, staffhas proposed a condition of approval requiring the review of the use permit in six months, at which time noise (and other potential issues) will be evaluated. Parking For property zoned C-C and located within the Down{own Revitalization District, the Municipal Code does not require any additional parking for a change in use. However, the Planning Commission may require additional parking spaces for a use if deemed necessary through the review of a conditional use permit. The subject property does not contain any on-site parking spaces, however, a 72-space, City- owned public parking lot is locoted immediately to the rear of the proposed establishment. The subject property was one of several properties on the block bounded by Peters Avenue, St. Mary Street, Main Street,. and Division Street that participated in the 1974 parking assessment district that e§tablished this parking lot. Staffbelieves that the adjacent public parking lot and nearby on-street parking would provide adequate parking for the proposed use. Additionally, the proposed conditional use permit to serve alcohol from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. would occur when parking demand Downtown is reduced since most retail establishments are closed. Staff believes that there would be adequate parking for the proposed use and that the potential parking-related impacts on the adjacent residents and businesses would be minimized, as conditioned. Nevertheless, should parking-related problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Planning Director to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures.
