A PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR LOUIE’S WINE DIVE LOCATED AT 16 S. BEMISTON AVENUE
Mayor Sanger opened the Public Hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing and subsequent resolution for an amendment to the conditional use permit to allow an expansion of Louie’s Wine Dive, located at 16 South Bemiston Avenue, into the adjacent tenant space addressed 14 South Bemiston Avenue (formerly occupied by Arabella, a retail establishment). On October 12, 2015, the Conditional Use Permit that was previously issued to Tani Sushi was administratively transferred to the owners of Louie’s Wine Dive, who are now proposing an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of the restaurant into the adjacent tenant space at 14 South Bemiston Avenue. The expansion results in an additional 1,061 square feet (for a total of approximately 3,531 square feet) and 44 seats (for a total of 123). The hours of operation and all other aspects of the restaurant remain the same.
10-18-16 BOA Minutes October 18, 2016 Page 2 of 11 Because the restaurant is larger than 3,000 square feet and not located in a mixed-use building, off-street parking is required based on the following ratio: three parking spaces for every five seats on a pro-rated percentage for all square footage in excess of 3,000 gross square feet. Based on the size and number of seats proposed, 7 parking spaces are required either on-site or within 500 feet. According to the restaurant owners, there are no available parking spaces for lease in the immediate vicinity and is therefore asking for a parking waiver pursuant to Section 405.3620.17 of the Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, which permits the Board of Alderman to waive or modify the number of required parking spaces through the conditional use process. The Plan Commission considered the request for amendment to the conditional use permit and waiver of the required parking at its September 19, 2016 meeting and voted to recommend approval of the amendment and the waiver to the Board of Aldermen as requested. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, Ben VinZant, owner addressed the Board stating that the location is just next door. In response to Alderman Garnholz’s question, Mr. VinZant stated that the location will be open Thursdays through Saturdays.
