PlanningBoard | 2005-02-28 | 4 | 7-C. ZA05-0002, 842 Central Avenue, Central Cinema, Applicant: Mark Haskett (DV). The Applicant seeks approval to continue to operate a movie theater with up to 49 seats in the C- 1, Neighborhood Business District where a movie theater use is not currently allowed as a permitted use or as a use regulated by Use Permit. The Planning Board will review and take action on the following options associated with continued use of this movie theater: 1) Consideration of a Zoning Use Determination that a "Boutique Theater" defined as "A theater with audiences of 49 persons or less for live performances or for the screening of motion pictures where there is only one screen in the theater" is sufficiently similar to what is allowed pursuant to Alameda Municipal Code section 30-4.8(c)(7) which allows by Use Permit "Theaters with live performances that are in combination with other permitted uses." If the Planning Board determines that a "Boutique Theater" is consistent with what is allowed by A.M.C. section 30-4.8(c)(7), then the applicant will apply for a Use Permit at a future meeting; or 2) Consideration of an Amendment to Section 30-4.8 (c) to add "Boutique Theater" as a use regulated by Use Permit in the C-1 zoning district. "Boutique Theater would be defined as "A theater with audiences of 49 persons or less for live performances or for the screening of motion pictures where there is only one screen in the theater." If the Planning Board determines that a "Boutique Theater" could be an appropriate use in the C-1 zoning district, the zoning amendment will be forwarded to Council for adoption and the applicant would need to return to the Planning Board for a Use Permit following adoption of the amendment by Council. {Staff requests a continuance to the meeting of April 11, 2005 pending an Initial Study as required by the California Environmental Quality act (CEQA)} M/S Cook/McNamara and unanimous to continue this item to the Planning Board meeting of April 11, 2005.
