Recommendation
Summary:
A request to expand the existing outdoor dining patio by 975 square feet, resulting in a total of 1,709 square feet of outdoor dining area, with no change to the existing 5,012-square-foot interior of the restaurant. The proposed hours of operation for the outdoor patio are from 10 a.m. and 11 p.m., daily, consistent with the interior restaurant hours. No live entertainment, dancing, or late hours are proposed, and there are no changes to the existing Type 47 (On-Sale General - Eating Place) California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control license. To authorize the expanded outdoor dining area, the applicant requests a waiver of 17 of the 66 required parking spaces and authorization to provide the remaining spaces through a combination of off-site parking lots. Approval of the project would supersede all previous approvals
