thank you J yeah that let see share screen and you all see that yes yes okay all right so uh as you indicated or sorry Jeff Foster associate planner for the record uh bringing you tonight LDC 2410 which is Marisa Barco uh the project I have to minimize here okay uh so the project site is 1.71 Acres um it's the Plum Lane Plaza neighborhood shopping center on the northwest corner of Plum and Rondell uh near the Reno Public Market and the Reno experience District that you can see recording in progress that you can see to the left um and the request is for a conditional use permit to allow a bar lounge or Tavern in The General commercial zoning District uh zooming in here the building that is in question is indicated by the red arrow on the corner there um and as far as the uses surrounding the site we have a mixture of single family and multif family to the north we have a single family use to the east uh across Rondell to the South across Plum we have commercial and to the West uh we have the parking lot and the rest of the commercial in that existing neighborhood shopping center the zoning is General commercial as I indicated earlier and the master plan use of suburban mixed juice here are a handful of policies that uh that that the project lines up with and I did want to spend a little bit of time going through each of these um as far as existing businesses Mariscos has another location in Sparks uh underutilized properties that b uh restaurant building it's an existing restaurant building um and it's currently vacant as far as a mix of uses um the uh the general The Zone supports a mix of uses as part of community and neighborhood centers centers that reflect needs of adjoining residents and the characteristics of individual neighborhoods and as far as the last overall mix a broad mix of higher intensity uses will be supported in urban corridors corridors including but not limited to residential retail commercial and other employment and service oriented uses so for the components of the project um it's an existing 392 foot uh building previously operated as El pesador um the applicant has the the building has a small bar with seven seats the operations are 10: a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days per week and the applicant will also have uh a cabaret live entertainment use which is indoor live music I.E uh a ring piano or guitar player I don't know not a ring piano player a roing guitar player um that'd be pretty impressive to have a ring piano player um so the uh but they'll go around to the various tables I'm sure you've all been to Mexican restaurants like that um that's the extent of the indoor live music and this is a proposed family style restaurant with alcohol and the bar requires a cup and the reason it requires the reason that this application is before us is because the customers can order directly from the bar so by definition that is a bar and a bar in the GC Zone requires a conditional use permit as far as compatibility with surrounding uses um the surrounding commercial uses are typical of shopping centers there are other restaurants with alcohol service and convenience store with accessory package alcohol in that Center there are no other bar uses in the center and the proposed use is entirely within the building operational impacts um and here's the bar as you can see um again standard operating hours 10: a.m. to 10 p.m. indoor live music uh but the doors and windows will remain closed at all times and that's per condition number five um again being a family restaurant there won't be any you know nightclub types of effects from smoke or odor dust vibration illumination so there are not expected to be uh impacts to surrounding land uses and uh specifically RPD and code enforcement both reviewed the application and have no concerns I should also note that there were no NAB or public comments received here are the conditionally used permit recommended findings uh staff can make all of the recommended findings and here's the recommended motion and I'm available for questions thank you Jeff appreciate that we'll go now to the Commissioners for disclosures commissioner VTO uh commissioner VTO no discl familiar with the site no other disclosures thank you commissioner Armstrong uh familiar with the site no other disclosures commissioner villan NOA familiar with the site no disclosures commissioner rorer same disclosures commissioner sorry going down commissioner Basera commissioner Basera I visited this site commissioner Munoz commissioner Muno no disclosures commissioner drich I'm familiar with the site all right now that we got through that we'll open it up for public comment Michelle do we have anybody on Zoom or any voicemails no voicemails no correspondents and no one on Zoom to make public comment and there's nobody here in Chambers to make public comment e either okay thank you telling me that great uh seeing no public comment we will close public comment and open it up to the Commissioners for questions of uh Jeff or maybe even the applicant commissioner Basera please yeah thank thank you uh chair um just a quick question maybe for the applicant Mr chis uh and maybe Jeff can uh jump in to it's really more of a clarifying question uh Jeff your hours of operation indicate I believe 10 to 10 uh Mr chidz I think your application mentions 11 to n uh I don't necessarily think that's a deal breaker but just clarifying question what what are the hours that you anticipate uh being open or running this this restaurant uh it's gonna be uh 10 to 10 from oh it will be 10 to 10 yeah oh okay great thank you so much thank you and um I think that was I oh the other question was just [Music] um uh the the mitigation for the sound or for the music I suppose was that the windows and doors would be closed all that time um you're freezing so you're cutting out oh oh okay I'm sorry uh actually I'm okay I my questions been answered thanks yall thank you thank you Comm any other questions or potential discussion h commissioner belto I'm ready to make a motion unless there is discussion I'm seeing none feel
