This applicant proposes a revision to the original PCD
application. The revision proposes to allow a food service
establishment in the corner building and use of the
immediate area above the video store on the second floor of
the main building for a family video rental store. The
proposed restaurant will also have the capability of seating
for approximately 20 patrons.
STAFF REPORT:
The original PCD was approved in 1985 by the Planning
Commission and City Board. The PCD of record does not
permit a food service establishment and use of the second
floor for commercial use.
The proposed revision PCD modified the approved PCD by
requesting additional uses for the second floor of the main
building and the corner building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised PCD subject to the
applicant complying with all building code requirements.

future uses for corner building and impact on the
residential neighborhood. Mr. Wood from Planning Staff
responded by pointing out that restricting the space to a
Specific use would create problems for the applicant and
require him to come back to Planning Commission.
The Chair then the objector to make her presentation. Mrs.
Spann, the resident of 604 Ash Street, objected to placing
another restaurant in the immediate vicinty. She stated
that "Andre's" restaurant, located adjacent to a common
alley, does bring a lot of traffic to the alley while
delivering food.
Commissioner Walker then posed questions about the dumpster
on the site. Mr. Brownlee, the applicant, responded that
there will not be as much waste from a pizza establishment
as there is from "Andre's" restaurant. He also added that
most of the projected customers will come to pick -it -up and
take-out.
A lengthy discussion then followed involving Commissioners,
the applicant and Planning Staff. Several options were
discussed. The Planning Commission required that applicant
maintain the grounds and use the second floor for commercial
expansion in conjunction with the first floor only. A
motion was made to approve this application with the stated
conditions and passed by the vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays and 5
absent.
