PlanningBoard | 2007-12-10 | 4 | they would probably close by 10 or 11 Sunday through Thursday. They would like to offer late-night dining on Friday or Saturday nights after the theater. President Cook inquired whether the use permit would be subject to revocation if it became a public nuisance. Mr. Thomas replied that Condition 1 could be left as is, with a 2:00 a.m. closing time, and add that a review be performed after six to 12 months, such as with the coffee house. He noted that the other approach would be to modify the closing hours by day or time, with the understanding that the applicant could request a modification. Board Member Lynch suggested that the Board consider a one-year review to allow the Board and community to learn about the use and see the cycle through; he believed that a six-month cycle would be too short a cycle. He was not in favor of restricting the hours at this time, because the business model was tied to the number of people who attend the theater. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft expressed some concern that the San Francisco locations did not warrant a later closing time, and did not want to see other problems created on Park Street. Mr. Reese noted that he was involved with 15 other restaurants, and noted that weather would keep people inside; they would like to help Alamedans enjoy their post-theater dining experience. Mr. McGann noted that their other locations did not experience any problems with the neighborhood, and that they would be happy to adjust their hours as required. He noted that the business volume would dictate the operating hours, and added that his track record indicated that they operated a family-friend restaurant. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft moved to adopt Planning Board Resolution No. 07- to approve a Use Permit for extended hours of operations from 11 am - 2 am Monday through Sunday pursuant to AMC 30-4.9A(c)(1)(a). and use of an outdoor patio for up to 24 seats pursuant to AMC 30-4.9A(c)(1)(b), with the following modification: The one- year review will commence on the date of opening. Board Member Lynch seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - 5. Noes: 0 Absent: 2 (Cunningham, Mariani). The motion passed. 9. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 9-A.
