4.0 REViEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Big City Tavez-n & Oops TF�eater have requested a CONDITIONAL USE PRMIT {CUP) to allow a dinner th�ater to utilize a por�ion of the existing iower level banquet area. 4.2 Section 1 �05.015 of tl�e Roseville City Code stipuiates that a Restaurant Class IV — Traditional with "live entertainment and/or dancing" requires an approved CUP. The current use of the prert�ises is a permitted use under the same section af the Code. HISTORY: 4.3 In early January, the City P�anner met wit� representatives of Big City Tavern to review their interest az�d provide t.hez� with essentzal i�foz�znatio� regarding any revzew anc� approval for the inclusion of "live entertainment" within the prernises. 4.4 Based on a review of the code and the function of the premises, the City Planner concluded tha� staff support could be give to the "change in use" but that additional information vvas necessary regarding the banquet area, number of customers and �arking. 4.5 In 2003 the City of Roseville issued a permit for KFAN the Restaurant, which permit allowed the rernodeling and expansion of the former Lido Cafe. The permit was reviewed by the Planning Divisian conditioned on meeting a specific parking farmula totaling 364 parking spaces, including (but not Iimited ta} 87 parking spaces for the sit- c�o�rn restaurant; 110 for the bar, lotznge, pub�ic area and game rnnm; 42 for the sky boxes, 75 for the banquet area; and 10 for ihe outdoor seating area. 4.6 Because the site k�ad liznited parking (172 spaces) the owr�er was required fia enter into agreements with adjacentladjoining properties for sharing off-peak hour parking. This strict requirement was necessary to ensure that adequate (Code required) parking was achieved given ihe muliiple uses that could occur at any one time. 4.7 However, since the issuance of that perrnit, the awners I�ave terminated their agreement with Clear Channel Communicatinn and have changed the narne of the restaurant and auxiliary uses ta Big City Tavern & Banquet Center. The business also does not have the traffic originally anticipated by staff when firsti reviewed. 4.8 The original struct�zre was built in 1986, is located on 2.4 acres, has a Campre�ensive Land Use Plan designation of Business, is located in Planning District 1 Q, and the property is zoned B-2, Retail Business Dist�ict. USE SPECTFICS: 4.9 Th� proposed dinner theater would occupy the Twin Cities Roorr�. This banquet room Y�istorically has been boolced 3� - 40% af the available time on Friday and Saturday nights and mast often for large wedciing parties — up ta 200 people. 4.10 The estimated capacity �or Oops Theater is 100 people, which is about half of the capacity of the Twin Cities Room. The reduction is due partly to the portable stage/performance area, but also to the design of the seating area. PF37�4_ RCA_022706.doc Page 2 of �
