REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
OWNER/APPLICANT Louis Formato
PROPERTY: City Block 121, Lots 7, 8, 9, and 15.
LOCATION: 649 12th Street
ZONING: R-3 Residential/Professional District
REQUEST: To expand a non-conforming use (the Rusty Fox).
Mr. Saunders stated that the applicant is requesting a Conditional
Use Permit to expand a non-conforming restaurant by adding a walk-
in cooler and storage area to the rear of the existing restaurant.
Mr. Saunders explained the need for a Conditional Use Permit is
because the use is non-conforming as the present zoning is R-3
Residential/Professional and the use is within the 500' distance
requirement for alcohol related business to a church.
Mr. Saunders pointed out that portions of the parking which exists
under the grandfather privilege is non-forming because space widths
should be 10' instead of the 7' indicated and also because of the
intrusions into the street right-of-way (south and west
boundaries).
Mr. Saunders also pointed out several parking spaces in the rear
might be eliminated because of the expansion. Mr. Saunders stated
he did not feel there would be a need for additional parking at
this since there is no change in seat capacity is indicated.
Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that the staff recommendation
suggest that approval be granted subject to the standards
conditions of a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Saunders emphasized
such approval would require the applicant to conform to the
existing landscaping requirements.
Mr. Lou Formato, applicant, was present and stated he would be
willing to do the necessary landscaping.
Mr. Smith recommended that the applicant be required to conform to
the landscaping code along the eastern property line of the site.
After a brief discussion a motion was made to recommend to the City
Council approval of the request subject to the standard conditions
and additional landscaping, seconded by Bonnie Kranz and approved
by a unanimous vote.

APPROXIMATE ACREAGE: 9 Acres
RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Saunders pointed out that the applicant is requesting rezoning
of a nine (9) acre parcel located on the northwest corner of SR 50
and Hancock Road. The parcel is presently in the County; however,
a request for annexation has been filed and an ordinance
introducing the request was heard by the City Council on February
13, 1990. The annexation and rezoning will not be completed until
the Summit's Planned Unit Development and annexation are finalized.
The applicant has not submitted any formal development plans with
this request. It is assumed however, that the project will be
developed with highway commercial usage.
Staff feels the proposed commercial zoning will be compatible with
proposed land uses in the area and therefore recommends approval
of this request.
Mr. Solis expressed concern regarding the possibility of the other
contiguous parcels not being annexed and also of the Summit
development not materializing.
Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that a request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development has already
been submitted and the City Council will considered the Petitions
for Annexation and the Conditional Use Permit request
simultaneously.
After a brief discussion a motion was made by Don Smith to
recommend to the City Council approval of this request as presented
by staff, seconded by Peter Bertonaschi.
Mr. Saunders informed the Commission that there would be a workshop
meeting March 20, 1990 at 7:00 p.m. to review the proposed Summit
project.
There being no other business the meeting was adjourned.
