PLANNING OVERVIEW and DISCUSSION:
The petitioner is proposing to operate a carry-out only restaurant (Pizza Hut) in the existing Patio Retail Center located at approximately 7842 159th Street. The interior of the space is being remodeled to accommodate the carry-out restaurant.
Land Use/Compatibility:
Restaurants are compatible uses in the BIZ commercial zoning districts. The parcel is within 300 feet of a residential parcel to the north of the subject property, requiring special use approval to operate at this location.
Landscaping:
There are no proposed changes to the existing site plan or landscaping.
Parking/Loading:
The proposed 1,151square feet carry-out restaurant is required to provide 1 parking space for every 200 square feet of area. A total of 6 parking spaces must be provided to accommodate this use, there is ample parking available in the Patio Retail Center and plenty of shared parking opportunities given the existing cross access connections. Existing parking will be able to accommodate this new use.
Garbage Enclosure:
There is an existing masonry garbage enclosure at the rear of the property that is utilized by the tenants of the Patio Retail Center. The enclosure is in good repair and does not need to be remodeled or renovated at this time.
Building Elevations:
There are no changes to the exterior of the building or site. Signage will be permitted and approved via a separate sign permit review, which is not a part of this approval.
