Recommendation
Summary:
A request to convert an existing 700-square-foot take-out service - fast casual eating and drinking establishment to a full-service restaurant with a Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine - Eating Place) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. There is no outdoor dining area and no changes are proposed to the existing floor plan. The proposed hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily. The applicant is not proposing late hours (after 11 p.m.), live entertainment, or dancing. Also included is a request to waive the required parking related to upgrading the restaurant from take-out service to full service. Since the property is within the Coastal Zone and the applicant is proposing adjustments to the required off-street parking, a coastal development permit is also required. If approved, Use Permit No. UP2008-006 (PA2008-048) would be superseded.
