CC Resolution 11694RESOLUTION NO. 11694 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A NEW RESTAURANT WITH BEER AND WINE SALES, LATE NIGHT (EARLY MORNING) OPERATION, AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 368 E. CAMPBELL AVENUE IN THE C-3 (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) ZONING DISTRICT. FILE NO.: PLN2014-57 After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed. The City Council finds as follows with regard to file number PLN2014-57: 1. The project site is zoned C-3 (Central Business District) and designated Central Commercial by the General Plan Land Use Element. 2. The project site is located at the southeast corner of Campbell and Central Avenues. 3. The project site consists of an 8,200 square-foot parcel, improved with a 6,500 square- foot two-story building with retail and office. 4. The requested Conditional Use Permit would allow late night (early morning) operation, beer and wine sales, and live entertainment in conjunction with a new restaurant and bar. 5. The approval of a Conditional Use Permit incorporates applicable operational standards of the Downtown Alcohol Beverage Policy. 6. Alcohol beverage service in the restaurant shall be ancillary and subordinate to the primary purpose of serving food. 7. Policies found within the Campbell General. Plan and Downtown Campbell Development Plan articulate a desire to promote and enhance a downtown environment that provides a desirable balance of land uses including shopping, services, and entertainment. This vision is evidenced in policies that encourage a mix of day and evening activities, a distinctive retail presence, a diversity of eating establishments, support for neighborhood-serving businesses, and protection of surrounding residential neighborhoods. 8. The over-concentration of late night alcohol serving establishments within a compact downtown district can create a cumulative impact that overwhelms the area creating an undesirable result such as drunk in public, vandalism, and disorderly conduct. 9. Alcohol beverage service in the restaurant shall be ancillary and subordinate to the primary purpose of serving food. 10.A public closing time of 10:00 PM for the restaurant and bar is appropriate to ensure that alcohol service remains ancillary to food service and therefore would not result in an overconcentration of alcohol-serving (liquor) establishments. City Council Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit PLN2014-57 - 368 E. Campbell Ave. Page 2 Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that: 1.
