PlanningBoard | 2020-11-23 | 10 | Board Member Curtis asked the applicant if they thought their business would be a success with the lack of parking, between 10 pm and 2 am. Mr. Cukierman answered they are not dependent on those hours. He further explained how this restaurant would succeed. Board Member Rothenberg asked about the comments made by the manager of The Roadway Inn saying patrons had been parking in his lot. Mr. Cukierman said he would work with The Roadway Inn and try and make sure his customers don't park in their lot. It is out of their control but they would post signage. Board Member Rothenberg asked the staff about the final design review and if they should leave it to the Planning Director instead of having the board see it again. Allen Tai, City Planner, answered of course the board can see the design again but the staff feels confident that the applicant will have everything for the staff to approve the design review. Director Thomas added it was completely the board's decision. President Teague asked the applicant when they would have their final design ready for review. Mr. Waterman said he hopes to have something in the next two months. President Teague asked about the variances, the Administrative Variance did not cover a reduction in parking. Director Thomas said they would do a Planning Board Variance and could be done at the same time as the design review. President Teague wanted to make sure no delays affected the project. Mr. Cukierman added that the project was conditional on getting the parking reductions. Director Thomas felt strongly the timeline would work. Board Member Hom asked the staff if 2 am had been a standard closing time for bars and restaurants and suggested adding a condition to review hours of operation down the road. Director Thomas said there are other bars and restaurants in Alameda open that late and believed that if it was managed well it would work. This is why the noise ordinance is referenced in the Use Permit, it can be modified if necessary. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 10 of 15 November 23, 2020 | PlanningBoard/2020-11-23.pdf |
