__ himself. She said it was not just one property owner who complained about this establishment. She wanted a concrete plan for the pizza parlor. Ms. Dennis felt the reduction in occupancy will not work without a reduction in square footage to give the incentive to the business to do something with the remaining square footage. Ms. Ayala said the owner has part of a plan put together already, whether it is Mountain Mike's pizza, catering or a smaller club. She felt the quickest way to reach that change is for him to put his own plan together and take it through the permitting process. Staff does not often request Council to review conditional use permits and she felt staff had done its job. She was uncomfortable overruling them. Ms. Michelotti wanted some way to proceed without revoking the permit. Mr. Roush commented Council could revoke the use permit, but not make it effective until the end of January. That would give the applicant time to present a business plan and there would be motivation to get it done within a reasonable period of time. If that did not occur, then the permit would be revoked. He felt that would address Council's concerns. Ms. Michelotti wanted a report in three months to keep track of Police action for this site and whether compliance is occurring. Ms. Ayala said she would be willing to amend her motion to revoke the permit as of the last meeting of November, pending receipt of a new plan. Ms. Michelotti asked if staff could process a plan within the next few months? Mr. Swift said a new use permit application could be processed within that time frame. He was uncertain whether a pizza parlor could be installed and in operation within that time. Ms Ayala felt the owner could be on the way of doing that and Council could know if there was progress at that point. Mr. Swift said that would not affect any change in access or operation of the club unless those conditions are added at this time. Ms. Dennis again said a restaurant is a permitted use. What Council is saying is that the conditional use permit would be preserved for only half the square footage, which would reduce the occupancy. That is her major concern. It doesn't matter what the progress is on the pizza place, it matters that the club is reduced in size so there are not so many people there. Even thought she advocated reducing the square footage of the club, she still felt sorry for the neighborhood, because it has been patient with this for a long time. It is an unusual problem to have gone on this long. Ms. Ayala asked if she should withdraw her motion amendment. She agreed with Ms. Michelotti that there could be an impact on the hotel due to parking lot noise. Pleasanton City Council 22 09/03/02 Minutes
