L"-l ./ stan Clauson~ty Manager ~0'O MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City council THRU: Community Development Director FROM: Kim Johnsqn, Planner DATE: January 9, 1995 Ajax Tavern Amendment to the Little Nell SPA Development Plan, Second Reading of Ordinance 72, Series 1994 RE: SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with conditions for an amendment to the Little Nell SPA to allow the Ajax Tavern to install an espresso cart and sandwich/pizza grill on the outdoor patio adjacent to the Tavern at the base of the gondola. In addition to the SPA Amendment, the project must receive GMQS Exemption by the Planning Director for the net leasable expansion of 121 s.f. First reading by consent agenda occurred on December 12, 1994. RECENT ACTION: The Little Nell SPA was approved in 1986. Insubstantial amendments to the Little Nell SPA Development Plan were made administratively by the Planning Director irt1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994. These amendments were the addition of the ATM booth next to the ticket windows, enclosure of outdoor space at the Little Nell bar, enlargement of Schlomo's restaurant under a deck, and a storage room for Ajax Tavern within the parking garage. BACKGROUND: When Schlomo' s Restaurant occupied this location, Planning and Zoning staff discussed with Schlomo the need to amend the Little Nell SPA to allow the augmented use of the deck area for food preparation. The Ajax Tavern now occupies the restaurant space and wishes to officially amend the Little Nell final SPA Plan. The request specifically includes the installation of a walk-up sandwich/pizza grill of 91 s. f. and the placement of a mobile espresso cart of 30 s. f. wi thin the boundaries of the Tavern's outdoor dining area. Please see application information, Exhibit A. CURRENT ISSUES: There are no issues presented from referral agencies. Please see attached referral comments from the Zoning Official and Environmental Health Department, Exhibit B. Pursuant to code Section 24-7-804 E.~. modifications to the final development plan shall be approved pursuant to the terms and 1 n (') ,,:./ procedures of the final development plan, provided that the proposed change is consistent with or an enhancement of the approved final development plan. If the proposed change is not consistent with the approved final development plan, the amendment shall be subj'ect to both conceptual and final development plan review and approval. ApPlicant's request - Ajax Tavern seeks to amend the Little Nell SPA approval to permit the espresso cart and sandwich/grill uses. The areas involved total 121 s. f. The new restaurant seeks to legitimize these outdoor uses for operation during ski seasons, December 15 through April 15. According to the application, the proposed changes will help relieve congestion and traffic inside the restaurant and to expedite the service to outdoor customers. Also, the application states that no additional employees are needed because one existing cook and one existing bartender from indoors will move to the patio area. Staff Response - Staff finds that the proposed outdoor food preparation is consistent with the general restaurant use of the Tavern site. However, the Little Nell SPA did not anticipate the outdoor food preparation by the adoption of the Final SPA Plan. Therefore, the Little Nell SPA Plan must be officially amended for the new food service areas. The area taken by the two service bars is considered net leasable area, but not floor area by the definitions In the code. Net leasable space requires mitigation based on the generation rates established for the zone. The following information illustrates the housing and parking requirements for the new net leasable area. Emplovee mitiqation: 121 s.f. at 5.25 empl./ thousand s.f. = .63 gross employee generation .63 employee X 60% (minimum GMQS mitigation) = .38 employee to be mitigated .38 X $51,000 (Cat. 2 employee cash-out) = $19,380 cash-in-lieu $19,380 X .33 year (4 months) = $6,395.40 net cash-in-lieu for employee mitigation parkinq: The underground parking garage for the Little Nell contains 148 spaces, of which 118 spaces are considered legal spaces by the Zoning Official (the 30 non-conforming spaces are taken up by storage or may not be fully sized spaces). The proposed net leasable area of 121 s.f. will generate .24 parking space by the generation rate of 2 spaces per thousand sqUqre feet as established by the code. The restaurant has two options to mitigate for this fractional space. It may elect to pay cash-in- lieu of $3,600.00 or legitimize one of the spaces in the Little Nell parking garage. If the later is chosen, the garage and 2 f') (1 specific parking space must be inspected by Planning and Zoning staff prior to the issuance of any building permits. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None RECOMMENDATION: staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Little Nell SPA with the following conditions: 1) If either or both the espresso bar or the sandwich/pizza area are in use for any period other than December 15 through April 15, the applicant must apply for a revision to the SPA Amendment and pay additional employee mitigation in effect at the time of review. 2) Prior to the issuance of any building permits, Planning and Zoning staff shall conduct an inspection of the Little Nell parking garage to verify the addition of one parking space, for a total of 119 spaces within the garage. In lieu of providing the whole space, the applicant may elect to pay $3,600.00 (.24 fraction of $15,000.00). . 3) Prior to the issuance of any building permits for this project, the applicant shall pay an affordable housing mitigation fee of $6,395.40 to the City Finance Department. Proof of payment shall be provided to the Planning Office.

Staff recommends approval with conditions for an amendment to the Little Nell SPA to allow the Ajax Tavern to install an espresso cart and sandwich/pizza grill on the outdoor patio adjacent to the Tavern at the base of the gondola. since the November 22 meeting, Planning and Zoning staff visited the site to view the rooftop mechanicals which Roger Hunt complained about. We agreed that the vent devices do not exactly match the drawing from the Little Nell SPA documents provided by Roger. However, we believe that the vents are similar in design and are in the same location shown on the elevation sketch. They are painted to match the building and seem to be a bit shorter than the sketch. An apparent effort was made to lessen the equipment's visual impact on the building. As for the perceived noise problem, staff does not believe the noise to be at a level which is bothersome to the public in the Ajax Tavern area or courtyard below the gondola, which are already noisy urban places. If the noise level does not interfere with the Little Nell operations, staff does not believe a change is warranted. We desire that each Commissioner take the opportunity to visit the Ajax Tavern area and view the rooftop equipment so that any particular comments can be made to staff at the December 6 meeting. APPLICANT: Colorado Culinary capers, Inc. LOCATION: Lot 1 of the Little Nell Subdivision ZONING: Overlay CC Commercial Core with a Specially Planned Area (SPA) APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The Ajax Tavern requests to amend the Little Nell final SPA plan that was approved for the development of the gondola and base area. The request specifically includes the installation of a walk-up sandwich/pizza grill of 91 s.f. and the 12- I J2f f""\ r~ I placement of a mobile espresso cart of 30 s.f. boundaries of the Tavern's outdoor dining area. attached application, Exhibit A. REFERRAL COMMENTS: There are no issues presented from referral agencies. Please see attached referral memos from the Zoning Official and Environmental Health Department, Exhibit B. wi thin the Please see STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to section 24-7-804 E.2. - modifications to the final development plan shall be approved pursuant to the terms and procedures of the final development plan, provided that the proposed change is consistent with or an enhancement of the approved final development plan. If the proposed change is not consistent with the approved final development plan, the amendment shall be subject to both conceptual and final development plan review and approval. A. Background - When Schlomo's Restaurant occupied this location Planning and Zoning staff discussed with Schlomo the need to amend the 1987 Little Nell SPA to allow the augmented use of the deck area for food preparation/service. In 1993, an insubstantial SPA amendment was approved by the Planning Office to allow Schlomo's a 220 s.f. expansion by filling in an area below a deck. Employee housing was mitigated by cash~in-lieu and parking was provided by spaces already existing in the Little Nell parking garage. B. Amendment - Ajax Tavern requests to amend the Little Nell SPA approval to permit the espresso cart and sandwich/grill uses. The areas involved total 121 s. f. The new restaurant seeks to legitimize these outdoor uses for operation during ski seasons, December 15 through April 15. According to the application, the proposed changes will help relieve congestion and traffic inside the restaurant and to expedite the service to outdoor customers. Also, the application states that no additional employees are needed because one existing cook and one existing bartender from indoors will move to the patio area. C. Staff Response - Staff finds that the proposed outdoor food preparation is consistent with the general restaurant use of the Tavern site. However, the Little Nell SPA did not anticipate the outdoor food preparation by the adoption of the Final SPA Plan. Therefore, the Little Nell SPA Plan must be officially amended for the new food service areas. The area taken by the two service bars is considered net leasable area, but not floor area by the definitions in the code. Net leasable space requires mitigation for employees and parking based on the generation rates established for the zone. For several years, staff has interpreted that mobile, temporary carts and vending situations are net leasable space. This is the first instance where an applicant is willing to proceed with an application because the mitigation costs are typically high and the process is time consuming. 2 r'1 n Emplovee qeneration: The employee generation rate for the CC zone is a range from 3.25-5.25 employees per 1,000 s.f. of net leasable, with a minimum mitigation rate of 60%. Because Ajax Tavern is a restaurant, it is expected to generate employees at the high end of the scale. It is assumed that the bartender and cook positions would be in the Category 2 range. The following formula illustrates the housing requirements for the new 121 s.f. of net leasable area: 121 s.f. at 5.25 empl./ thousand s.f.= .63 gross employee generation 60% (minimum mitigation) X .63 employee = .38 employee to be mitigated .38 X $51,000 (Cat. 2 employee cash-out) = $19,380 cash-in-lieu , Seasonal fraction: (4 months) .33 year X $19,380 = $6,395.40 The Planning Office acknowledges that the seasonal use of the new spaces should constitute a fractional share of the full-time- equivalent (FTE) employee cash amount. As the four months of operation represents one third of the> year, the cash amount is calculated at $6,395.40. The application states that the new espresso bar and sandwich/pizza area will be staffed by employees which would otherwise be located inside at the bar and kitchen. As there is no feasible way to verify this, staff believes that the employees must be considered to be new staff for the operation. If the spaces are in use for any period other than December 15 through April 15, the applicant must apply for a revision to the SPA Amendment and pay additional employee mitigation calculated at the time of review. In addition to the SPA Amendment, the project must receive GMQS Exemption by the Planning Director for the net leasable expansion of 121 s.f. Staff will draft a memo for the Director's signature upon approval of the SPA amendment by Council. Parkinq: The underground parking garage for the Little Nell contains 148 spaces, of which 118 spaces are considered legal spaces by the Zoning Official (the 30 non-conforming spaces are taken up by storage or may not be fully sized spaces). The proposed net leasable area of 121 s.f. will generate .24 parking space by the generation rate of 2 spaces per thousand square feet as established by the code. The restaurant has two options to mitigate for this fractional space. It may elect to pay cash-in- lieu of $3,600.00 or legitimize one of the spaces in the Little Nell parking garage. If the later is chosen, the garage and specific parking space must be inspected by Planning and Zoning staff prior to the issuance of any building permits. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Little Nell SPA with the following conditions: 3 ,1"""\ ~ \..,..:./ 1) If either or both the espresso bar or the sandwich/pizza area are in use for any period other than December 15 through April 15, the applicant must apply for a revision to the SPA Amendment and pay additional employee mitigation in effect at the time of review. 2) Prior to the issuance of any building permits for the new net leasable spaces, the project must receive GMQS Exemption by the Planning Director. 3) Prior to the issuance of any building permits, Planning and Zoning staff shall conduct an inspection of the Little Nell parking garage to verify the addition of one parking space, for a total of 119 spaces within the garage. In lieu of providing the .24 space, the applicant may elect to pay $3,600.00. 4) All material representations made by the applicant in the application and during public meetings with the Planning and Zoning commission and City council shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to recommend approval of the Ajax Tavern amendment of the Little Nell SPA to allow 121 s.f. of new net leasable area for an espresso cart and sandwich/pizza grill on the patio adjacent to the restaurant with the four conditions listed in the Planning Office memo dated December 6, 1994."
