DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing a Sapanese themed private club restaurant in the
future Copper Crossing shopping center. The private club portion of the
request is to allow beer and wine to be served on the premise. The plan
shows that the applicant will be leasing 1,500 square feet in the 12,000
square foot retail building. This is the third special use permit for an
eating establishment to be considered for this center. The first being
Cowboys Barbecue, a private club restaurant, that will lease space in the
9,000 square foot companion building immediately north of this site. The
second being Fresh Wok, a carry-out Chinese restaurant located in the
same building two doors south from the proposed restaurant. Based on
staff calculations, the retail center may accommodate up to 8,000 square
feet of restaurant space and still meet the city's parking code. Currently,
the retail center has about 4,750 square feet of space devoted to restaurants
uses.
The submitted floor plan indicates the restaurant's seating capacity to be
60. The plan shows the front two-thirds of the restaurant being devoted to
the dinning room and the rear third of the space a kitchen, public
restrooms and small office. The proposed hours of operation are 11:00
a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily.
The proposed sign is a channel letter sign to be raceway mounted. The
elevations show that the raceway to be bronze and the channel lettering to
be ivory. Staff is of the opinion that the raceway needs to match the color
of the sign. A white raceway in front of the lease space would be
aesthetically pleasing.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning Staff recommends approval of the special use permit subject to the
following conditions being met:
1) The color of the raceway should match the color of the sign.
2) The proposed hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily.
