The cart will be located on the comer wall in the atrium where the entrances from Galena Street and Hyman Avenue meet, and will operate from approximately 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM daily during the winter (December to April). APPLICANT: Zele, Before the Grind Corp. LOCATION: 302-308 S. Galena St.; Ute City Banque Building ZONING: CC -Commercial Core BACKGROUND: City Council Ordinance 13, Series of 1993, amended the Land Use Code to allow the Community Development Director to exempt from the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) an expansion of less than 250 net leasable square feet to an existing commercial or office uses. Prior to the adoption of Ordinance 13, the Director could only exempt an expansion of an existing commercial or office use in a building which does not increase its net leasable squaze footage, and the Planning Commission could exempt an expansion of less than 500 net leasable squaze feet. When the revised Growth Management Quota System was adopted by Council (Ordinance 54, Series of 1994), the amendments made in Ordinance 13 were inadvertently omitted. Therefore, the Code has reverted to the language that was in place prior to the adoption of Ordinance 13, and the Planning Commission must review and approve this application. This discrepancy was discovered after the applicant had submitted this application for an approval by the Director based on representations made by staff in the pre-application conference. Staff requests direction from the Commission on reinstating the provision for the Director to approve exemptions for commercial or office expansions of less than 250 net leasable squaze feet, as was previously approved by Ordinance 13. STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-8-104.A.1.d, an expansion of a commercial use of less than 250 net leasable squaze feet may be exempted from the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) by the Community Development Director, provided that the expansion will have minimal impact upon the city. A determination of minimal impact shall require demonstration that: r •. .... 1. a minimal number of additional employees will be generated; Response: The applicant proposes to use one part-time employee from Zele's existing staff to operate the cart. 2. employee housing will be provided for the additional employees generated; Response: The cart is 2 feet by 6 feet, however, staff has concluded that the area behind the cart where an employee would stand to work should also be included as net leasable azea. Net leasable space requires mitigation based on the generation rates established for the zone district. Therefore, staff has based the employee mitigation calculations on a total increase of 30 net leasable squaze feet. This amount is consistent with the approval granted by City Council Ordinance No. 72 (Series of 1994) for the espresso cart at the Ajax Tavem. Employee Miti ag tion: (Housing Office memo attached) 30 s.f. at 3.5 employees/1000 s.f. = 0.105 gross employee generation 0.105 employee X 60% (minimum GMQS mitigation) = 0.063 employee to be mitigated 0.063 X $79,000 (Category 1 payment-in-lieu fee) _ $4,977 payment-in-lieu $4977 _ 12 months X 4 months of operation = $1659 net payment-in-lieu The applicant will be required to pay this amount for employee mitigation to the City Finance Director prior to building permit issuance. 3. a minimal number of additional pazking spaces will be demanded and that parking will be provided; Response: The cart will not create any additional demand for pazking. The cart is intended to attract and serve visitors to the existing businesses in the building. 4. there will be minimal visual impact on the neighborhood; Response: The cart will be located in the atrium of the building, and will not have any visual impact on the neighborhood. Signs may only be located on the cart, and may not be located outside of the building. 5. minimal demand will be placed on the city's public facilities. Response: The cart will not impact public facilities. . -~, ..~ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request for a GMQS Exemption for an espresso cart to be located in the atrium of the Ute City Banque Building, subject to the following conditions: 1. All representations made in this application shall be adhered to as conditions of approval. 2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall pay an affordable housing mitigation fee of $1659 to the City Finance Department. Proof of payment shall be provided to the Community Development Department. 3. If the espresso cart is in use for more than 3 hours per day, or for a period of more than 4 months (December to April), the applicant must pay additional employee mitigation in effect at the time of review. 4. The espresso cart shall be reviewed and inspected by the Environmental Health Department prior to operation. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve the GMQS Exemption to allow 30 squaze feet of new net leasable azea for an espresso cart in the Ute City Banque Building, subject to the four conditions listed in the Planning Office memo dated December 19, 1995."

The size of the cart is 2'x 6'. It would be located on the on the corner wall where the two entrances meet. The cart is fully self contained and only needs power to operate.

We have spoken with all tenant of the building and everyone is very much in favor of this idea. We would like to open this for the upcoming season so time is of the essence.

RECOAAMENDA ON,: The applicaht has to mitigate for the foibwing: Commeroiai Core: 3.5 - 5.25 employeesl1,000 squarB feet FTE's for Commercial Core Zone District divided by 1,ODD square feet X 30 new net leasable square feet X 8D% of the employees required to mitigate X $79,000 Category 1 payment-in-lieu fee divided by 12 months in a year X the number of months the applicant plans on being open 3.5 - 1,000 sq, fk X 30 sq. ft. X 60% _ ,063 employees need to be mitigated. The Housing Office would recommend that the FTE's be mitigated at the Category 1 level, which means ,083 X $79,D00 = $4,977. Because this cart is to be open only four months out of the year, the Housing Office would agree to dividing the amoutrt due by 12 and taking that times 4 months the applicant plans on being open. This relates bo a payment-in-lieu fee due of $1,659 before approval of the cart can be given. The Housing Office also recommends that should the appiicarrt change the hours of operation andlor the months open per year, thaf the employee mitigation amount be re- evaluated. iebrtaAwe.mlt MESSAGE DISPLAY TO Suzanne Wolff From: Nancy MacKenzie Postmark: Dec 11,95 8:58 AM Status: Previously read Subject: Reply to: Zele Espresso Cart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reply text: From Nancy MacKenzie: They have to do a plan review with our dept our form,pay a fee, and provide us spec shy the cart, menus of what will be served,plus know.
