March 27, 1996 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 has withdrawn the application for that spot and the Conditional Use Permit expires on March 27, 1996. This applicant wishes to obtain approval for a carry out restaurant but in the unit designated as 6841 Olive. A separate conditional use permit is required. The current application shows a floor plan similar to those formerly approved. The previous restaurant served the community convenience for a period of over 16 years without negatively impacting the health, safety or welfare of the public or injuring the value of other property in the neighborhood. There is adequate parking for the restaurant at this time. The impact on parking for future tenants in other units shall be reviewed separately when those applications are made. He recommends approval of the application subject to the following conditions in order to insure compliance with the standards of Section 34-65.4 of the Zoning Code: 1) Primary signage shall be limited to a single wall sign mounted above the display window and not exceeding 25 square feet in gross sign area. 2) A detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for his review and approval. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved plan. 3) Adequate refuse disposal shall be provided by and for the business. Outdoor storage of refuse containers shall be as approved by the Director of Planning. 4) An exhaust system shall be installed and maintained or other means shall be taken to prevent food preparation odors or cooking odors from being readily perceptible beyond the lot lines of the property on which the restaurant is located. 5) Hours of operation shall be limited daily to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Ms. Martin asked that condition 5 be changed to: Hours of operation shall be limited to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 p.m., except on Fridays and Saturdays the hours of operation shall be limited to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. the next morning. Chairperson Solodar opened the public hearing and asked for testimony from the public. Louise Hall, 1526 Faris, St. Louis, Missouri 63133 stated that she owns the property in question. She needs clarification on why landscaping is required in condition 2. Mr. Goldman replied that there will be a requirement that additional landscaping be added to the site under a plan to be brought about by the applicant and the owner of the property and approved by him. She stated that she would abide by that. Ms. Hall stated that she was concerned about the parking for other tenants. Mr. Hill replied that the lot currently has enough parking for the current tenants. As other tenants move in the parking needs will be reevaluated. No other members of the public indicated a desire to speak, so the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. Ms. Ratner stated she wants the following condition added: The operator of the restaurant shall regularly police the site and the area adjacent to the restaurant to remove litter and debris. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission supports the conclusion that the proposed conditional use: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) At the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) Complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) Will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained m-3-27.plc
