Cm. King stated he is normally concerned about a reduction in parking but felt this change is appropriate. He asked if the amendment is because there are plans for a specific restaurant. Ms. Fraser answered Grafton Station has a surplus of parking so this change would allow for more restaurants and other types of uses in the center. The proposed standards are consistent with those recently approved for Fallon Gateway and the Green at Park Place. She continued this would also make the owner feel more comfortable and give more flexibility to the center. She mentioned there are over 1200 parking spaces approved for the site. Cm. Schaub felt the issue is Pad A and depends on what happens there. He felt there is lots of parking available at the center. Cm. King .opened the public hearing. Dave Chadbourne, Land Plan Associates, Applicant's representative, spoke in favor of the project. He stated they have had potential tenants who asked about outdoor dining and why they had to go through the CUP process and he felt it was a stumbling block for some tenants. He felt it made sense to ask the City to make Outdoor Dining a permitted use. He stated they had some tenants for food related uses such as yogurt shops, sandwich shops, etc. that were all required to be parked as a restaurant at 1/100 square feet and felt the demand and size does not generate the same amount of traffic. Cm. King asked if there was a specific plan for outdoor dining at present. Mr. Chadbourne stated there is a dentist office going into Building. B and the same as Buffalo Wild Wings has applied to expand into the next space and including outdoor dining. He continued there is an Asian Fusion Restaurant in plan check now. Ms. Fraser mentioned the restaurant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a dance floor. Cm. Schaub asked if any of the buildings are 2-story. Mr. Chadbourne answered Building C is 2-story. Cm. King closed the public hearing. Cm. Schaub mentioned that people stay at coffee shops like Starbucks for long periods of time because of free internet and fill up the parking lots. This creates a different parking situation then was originally intended. Cm. Schaub wanted to mention this so that in the future the Commission would take into consideration that people are not going in and out at these types of restaurants but staying for hours because of the free internet. ~S'lttnnirz~ ~;atrr~z~sivaz .~c~verrr6er24, 2f1t73 ~~juCa~';~22~e~i~z~; 201 On a motion by Cm.
