The following are some areas that may be considered for conditioning the food service/deli/retail use at this site: 1] Applicant submit a floor plan to Design Review Board for approval under a minor redevelopment permit. 2] No alcohol off-site sales, (on-site sales?) 3] Use of outdoor deck area/access. 4] No service to tables. 5] Number of tables. 6] Paper/plastic serving materials only. There is no definition of "deli" in the zoning ordinance. Generally defined as: "ready to-eat" food products not eaten on site (only incidental) retail food operation CHRIS SALOMONE CS:al STAFF REPORT DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1988 TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD FROM: REDEVELOPMENT OFFICE SUBJECT: BUSINESS LICENSE FOR THE VILLAGE EATERY, LOCATED AT THE CARLSBAD INN (FORMERLY NORBY'S BAKERY). I. RECOMMENDATION That the Design Review Board direct staff to return with appropriate conditions to be added to the business license application for the above-referenced eatery. II. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The space that the Village Eatery occupies at the Carlsbad Inn was originally approved as retail space, and was not parked for restaurant uses. "Retail" uses may include bakeries and take-out delis, which is basically what the Village Eatery purports to be (see attached menu). However, the use of sit-down tables has generated several complaints about the "conversion" of an allowable retail use into an unpermitted restaurant use. During a site inspection done by planning staff, the facility did not appear to have waiters/waitresses, which would qualify it as a restaurant. However, there were at least 15 tables set up, inside and outdoors, which is more than a deli typically provides or has room for. The concern that staff has is that a gradual conversion from what began as a bakery, to something that how includes a broader food menu (hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, pizza), will continue expanding into a full restaurant use without proper permits or conditons. The change from Norby's Bakery to the Village Eatery technically could be considered a use change requiring a minor redevelopment permit. However, staff believes the business license, if properly conditioned, would suffice. The Board may want to consider the following types of conditions: Hours of operation Number of tables Use (or non-use) of the bar in the outside deck area Other ways in which the Board feels would retain the use as retail, rather than restaurant.
