PlanningBoard | 2006-01-09 | 5 | 8. CONSENT CALENDAR: 8-A. UP05-0023; Frank Krauland for Grandview Pavilion; 300 Island Drive (SH). The applicant requests a Use Permit approval to allow the construction of a 1750 square-foot (35' by 50') tent structure over an existing outdoor patio. Pursuant to AMC Subsection 30- 4.19.b(3), a Use Permit is required for structures located on public and private land in the O (Open Space) District. The site is located on the Chuck Corica Golf Complex within the O, Open Space Zoning District. M/S Cook/Kohlstrand and unanimous to remove Item 8-A from the Consent Calendar and place it on the Regular Agenda. AYES - 6; NOES - 0; ABSTAIN - 0 Ms. Hom presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of this item. Vice President Cook expressed concern about the height and permanence of this structure. She noted that the building was charming, with interesting rooflines and character. She did not believe anything similar had been approved in the City, and believed that better landscaping would help its appearance. She believed it would be a big change to the outdoor area, and did not know whether this tent had sides that could roll up. President Cunningham echoed Vice President Cook's concerns, and inquired whether a Design Review would be presented at a later date. Ms. Eliason noted that tents are normally temporary structures, and that the applicants were requesting that it be made a permanent structure. This request would normally be within the Board's purview because this was a Use Permit. A time limit on the Use Permit may be placed by the Board. The height is lower than the existing building. An additional condition could be placed regarding the sides. In response to an inquiry by Board member Kohlstrand whether a permanent structure would qualify as an expansion of the use, and whether new parking requirements must be considered, Ms. Eliason replied that staff did not require additional parking because it was an outdoor patio. Also, the tent could be removed at any time; staff did not believe it was an expansion of the structure in that way because the applicant was already using the outdoor area. The tent would make the outdoor area more functional in all seasons. President Cunningham noted that he would be hesitant to limit the time that it was up. He had been concerned about the aesthetics. Board member Kohlstrand noted that Scott's in Jack London Square had a similar structure that could be used for weddings and other special events.
