Application o. 6954/1437 COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 5 PP N G. The Town of Springfield Board and Planning Committee have both unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning and conditional use permit. The Town recommends the following restrictions be applied to the outdoor activities: 1. Closing hours of operation: Sunday through Thursday--11:00 p.m.,Friday and Saturday--12:00 a.m. 2. Parking space lease agreement on file. 3. Security agreement in place. 4. Party patio will include a music stage, dance floor, drink and dining tent, and bathroom facilities all enclosed in a permanent fence. 5. Necessary sanitary facilities provided(portable units allowed). III. SUMMARY A. There are neighborhood issues associated with introducing the proposed use to a predominantly residential area. Steps have been taken by the applicant and are suggested by the Town and staff to minimize those impacts. The proposed number of parking stalls are sufficient to meet the County's parking requirements for the existing tavern and the party patio. However, expansion to the party patio would be possible only after receiving a parking variance. Staff believe that the proposed use generally satisfies the standards for granting CUPs. B. Before making a decision, staff advises that the ZNR Committee first make findings of fact based on evidence presented and issue a determination as to whether the prescribed standards for granting a CUP are met(S. 10.255(2Xa)). C. If the ZNR Committee wishes to approve this request, it may want to include the following conditions of approval: 1. The subject property shall be developed consistent with the site plan dated 7/30/97. 2. The party patio shall be completely enclosed by a permanent fence. The fence along the southerly edge of the party patio shall be six feet in height and opaque to provide noise and visual screening. 3. The operator shall provide and maintain, at a minimum, portable sanitary toilets within the party patio. 4. Any lighting of the proposed stage shall be directed towards the stage area. 5. The proposed expansion of the party patio may be developed only after the applicant applies for and receives a parking variance from the Board of Adjustment. This condition does not imply that the Board of Adjustment waives its discretion to approve or deny the variance. 6. No other neighboring properties may be used for parking for the use unless the Board of Adjustment approves a variance authorizing such parking. If neighboring properties are approved for parking, the operator shall enter and maintain lease agreements, which shall be filed with the Town and County. 7. The party patio shall close no later than 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday nights and 12 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday nights. 8. The operator shall enter and maintain security agreements for events at the party patio.
