COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: DENIAL 7-3-1 The Council recommended denial due to the following: 1) the rezoning was an intrusion into the single-family neighborhood; 2) The property is too small to be rezoned to C-1 as 20,000 sq. ft. is required and the site is only 12,000 sf; 3) the site does not have the 10 required parking spaces for restaurant use; 4) The previous business on this site failed to succeed; and 5) Alcohol Sales would require a Special Land Use Permit, and no SLUP application has been submitted.
