As part of the narrative, the Applicant noted proposed plans for security and noise control. For security, the building is equipped with at least 24 security cameras around and inside the building for monitoring of all areas and there are two police panic buttons inside the building to alert local law enforcement of incidents. The Applicant is proposing that during events there will be onsite security officers to control access points to prevent unauthorized entry, ensure alcohol is not taken onto the patio area, and maintain safety conditions for attendees. Alcohol management is also noted, with a plan for strict protocols for the serving of alcohol to monitor consumption, prevent overconsumption, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. For noise control, the Applicant proposes a plan, stating all events will be held inside the building to contain noise. Additionally, the use of concrete in the building walls can effectively soundproof and prevent noise from leaving the building, which can reduce the impact of noise on the surrounding community. Security measures will also help manage noise in outdoor areas by managing and dispersing groups that congregate outside, particularly in the designated smoking area. The Applicant is seeking approval for Phase I with this application. The City Council should consider the proposed plans for the Event Center use and the supplementary plans for security and noise management when evaluating the PUD and CUP criteria. Phase II - Restaurant In Phase II, which the Applicant notes will begin immediately after Phase I, involves opening the restaurant area. The Applicant's proposed intent is to obtain a liquor license to provide liquor service on -site once the restaurant is operational. Liquor services would be available to the restaurant as well as the event center during restaurant hours. Currently, on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses are limited to hotels, restaurant, clubs, or exclusive liquor stores. The Applicant states that while the in-house restaurant is intended to serve food and alcohol to events, the event center would on occasion work with external caterers to accommodate specific culinary preferences or cuisines that the restaurant cannot provide. The Applicant reasons that working with outside caterers will support the event center's flexibility and inclusivity of services. The restaurant would use the existing cafe footprint and the proposed restaurant occupancy capacity is 34 seats and five (5) employees to meet staffing needs. The Applicant proposes that the restaurant will use reservation technology and real-time tracking to control the flow of guests and provide wait time information. Patrons of the restaurant would access the space through the main entry which would lead them directly to the restaurant space which is not being reconfigured from the existing floor plan. The restaurant would utilize the existing on -site kitchen. In the updated narrative received on July 15, the Applicant has stated that the restaurant would be open to the public during regular business hours and while the event space is in use for private events. The Applicant provided hours of operations specific to the restaurant use, stating that the restaurant's hours of operations will be 11:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 8:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Sunday. On Friday and Saturday, kitchen services would end at 11:59 p.m. and liquor service would end at 2:00 a.m. The Applicant is seeking approval for Phase II with this application. Page 9 of 23
