occupancy load and parking. Mr. Hewicker distributed a

subject restaurant, Blackbeard's and El Torito.
Mr. Hewicker cited that the subject Domino McFly
Restaurant has 65 existing parking spaces on -site;

and may be going to another area restaurant.
Mr. Hewicker stated that the original restaurants were
approved in 1972, and at that time one parking space
was required for each three restaurant seats. Based on
that formula, he stated that the subject restaurant,

provided, a surplus of 35 parking spaces.
Mr. Hewicker said that the City did an extensive
parking study because of restaurant parking problems
throughout the City after the previously stated
restaurants opened. As a result of that study, he said
that the City developed parking standards that required
the parking spaces be based on one parking space for
each 40 square feet of "net public area ". Mr. Hewicker
stated that based on this requirement, the Planning
Commission, through operational characteristics and
approval of use permits, has the ability to require
one parking space per 30 square feet of "net public
area" down to one parking space per 50 square feet of
"net public area ".
Mr. Hewicker cited that the expanded Domino McFly's has
a requirement of 68 parking spaces based on one parking
space for each 40 square feet of the "net public area"
of 2,705 square feet, whereas they presently have 65
existing parking spaces, and are proposing to
compensate the difference of three parking spaces by
installing compact stalls. Blackbeard's was recently
permitted to change its operational characteristics by
creating a lounge area off the dining area and
Blackbeard's indicated that a part of the dining area
would be closed while the lounge area is open.
Blackbeard's now has a requirement of 80 parking spaces
based on a "net public area" of 4,273 square feet,
whereas they provide 83 parking spaces on -site.
Mr. Hewicker advised that at the time the E1 Torito
Restaurant was opened, and as far as the City can
determine, the restaurant was not allowed to occupy the
patio area. It is evident that the restaurant patio
area is currently being utilized which would be an
additional 639 square feet, totalling 4,158 square feet
of "net public area ", or a requirement of 16 additional
parking spaces, totalling 104 parking spaces. Mr.
Hewicker further advised that without the patio area,
there is 3,519 square feet of "net public area"
requiring 88 parking spaces.

that the parking lot was just less than half full, and
in his opinion that figure was above normal for that

Chairman Winburn queried about the present 8 -1/2 foot

xlxlxlxl Motion voted on to deny Use Permit No. 1727 (Amended)
subject to the findings for denial. MOTION CARRIED.
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL
1. That the proposed expansion of the subject restau-
rant represents a significant intensification of
use from the existing restaurant operation.
2. That the expanded restaurant will require a
greater amount of parking and generate more
traffic than the existing restaurant operation.
3: That the proposals for additional parking for the
subject restaurant are unacceptable for the
following reasons:
a. That the shared unrestricted use of the
existing common parking area by all
three restaurants precludes the use of
valet parking inasmuch such a proposal
would establish the exclusive use of of
a portion of the parking for one restau-
rant.
b. That the off -site parking area is located too
far from the restaurant site in order to be
useful for employee parking.
C. That the proposed compact spaces on -site will
be detrimental to the existing parking lot
design that utilizes all full size parking
spaces.
4. That the shared parking facilities are inadequate
for the total combined use of the property which
includes two other restaurants.
5. That the establishment, maintenance or operation
of the proposed restaurant will, under the circum-
