Planning Commission -2- February 24, 1988

renoticed, Principal Planner Lee recommended a continuance to the meeting of
March 23, 1988.
MSUC ITugenberg/Casillas) Fuller out, to continue the item to March 23, 1988.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: PCZ-88-H(M) CONSIDERATION TO REZONE AT 587 MOSS STREET
FROM RU-29 IRESIDENTIAL) TO S-86 (PARKING) SUNDANCER
LOUNGE, INC.
Principal Planner Lee indicated that the applicant is requesting a rezone at
587 Moss Street from RU-29 to S-86 to provide adequate parking for the lOll
Broadway cocktail lounae {Sundancer Lounge) being reopened. The 8,300 square
foot Moss Street lot i~ contiguous to the rear of the lounge property and is
paved. The dwelling unit thereon has been converted to storage. The
Montgomery Planning Committee recommended approval of the rezone application
with the Design Review special area regulation designator which regulates
parking, landscaping, vehicular circulation, fencing and street improvements.
An appeal of denial of a dance permit in conjunction with the cocktail lounge
was considered by Council on December 2, 1987. Council granted the appeal on
December 4, subject to the Planning Director's determination that the
premises, existing or modified, would meet all requirements. Review indicated
non-conformance with current zoning requirements and design standards and that
landscaping, trash enclosures and parking needed to be redesigned for better
vehicular circulation. Although the plot plan indicated 49 spaces, 18 of them
were located on the RU-29 property at 587 Moss, a residential zone, and no
record of a permit, variance of other authorization for parking uses could be
found in either City or County records. This necessitated the requested
rezone to S-86, which permits parking for uses adjacent to the site on
contiguous lots.
Staff's opinion is that rezoning to an S-86 parking zone could provide the
required parking and allow continued operation of the cocktail lounge without
disturbance to nearby residents. The '~' Design Review designator requirement
would ensure sufficient buffering and separation of uses, and enhance the
area. The new parking will be screened by a slump-block wall and landscaping.
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Thomas Horning, 448 Del Mar Court, Chula Vista, 92010, indicated that he was
the applicant and owned both parcels of land. He indicated his willingness to
answer any questions.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Planning Commission -3- February 24, 1988
MSUC (Cannon/Tugenberg) Fuller out, to find that this project will have no
significant environmental impacts and adopt the Negative Declaration issued on
IS-88-42.
MSUC (Cannon/Tugenberg) Fuller out to recommend that City Council enact an
ordinance to change the zone currently in effect at 587 Moss Street from RU-29
residential to S-86 parking, adding the Design Review special area regulation
designator regulating parking, landscaping, vehicular circulation, fencing and
street improvements.
