PlanningBoard | 2011-10-10 | 2 | Permit and the need for review. The review is to complete a determination of compliance of the conditions of approval for application PLN08-0479. On August 24, 2009, the Planning Board approved a Use Permit to allow a banquet and catering facility to be operated within a portion of an existing building at 1051 Pacific Marina. One of the Conditions of Approval from the August 2009 report stated that the Use Permit would be reviewed by the Planning Board every six months for a period of a year. Due to staff changes this review period was overlooked. Stating in January of 2011, numerous verbal and written complaints were received by staff regarding the operation of the event center from neighbors that live in close proximity of the subject property. There was a public hearing held on July 11, 2011 to review the conditions of approval and the reported violations. At that meeting it was determined that the item should be reviewed for compliance again at the October 10, 2011 meeting. She also mentioned that since January 2011 the Police Department has received five disturbing the peace complaints at the location. Ms, Kavanaugh-Lynch stated that the options for the Planning Board will be to either: 1. Propose conditions that will allow the applicant to operate a small business in a primarily residential setting, while protecting the right of peaceful enjoyment of its neighbors; or 2. Set the use permit for a revocation hearing. Ms, Kavanaugh-Lynch reported that the possible violations of the conditions of approval presented to the City include (numbering reflects the order of the original conditions of approval): 12. All events held at the facility shall be private and not open to the general public. 14. All events shall end by 10 p.m. Sunday - Thursday and 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. 20. The applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that all permanent employees, contractors, hired part-time or hourly staff, security personnel, caterers, and entertainers adhere to these conditions of approval and shall ensure compliance of same to these conditions of approval. Ms, Kavanaugh-Lynch reported that staff has compiled the following suggestions for modifying the conditions: All events held at the facility shall be private and not open to the general public. It was suggested that the condition of approvals # 5 and #12 be modified to address the purpose of the original condition, limiting the total number of persons present at any one time at an event. 5. A maximum of 275 individual guests shall be permitted for any single event held at this facility. 12. All guests must have a ticket for admission into the event center. A maximum of 275 ticket holders may be in the event center at any one time. Page 2 of 12 | PlanningBoard/2011-10-10.pdf |
