the request for the San Serrano restaurant in a C-1 commercial zone
district at 625 East Hopkins Avenue because the proposal failed to
meet the following conditional use review criteria:
1) The proposed conditional use is not consistent or
compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity, and
does not enhance the mixture of complimentary uses and
activities int he immediate vicinity of the parcel.
2) The location and operating characteristics of the proposed
conditional use do not minimize adverse impacts including
pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service
delivery, noise and odor on surrounding properties.
