proposed project provides a dining option to all City residents, particularly in the
vicinity of the project site. The restaurant and banquet facility is intended to be
family-oriented and open to all age groups.

properties.

conjunction with City Departments, including Public Works, Development Services,
and the Fire Department. Proposed conditions of approval include requirements
for the implementation of a security and on-site traffic plan, additional on-site
lighting, restricted hours of operation, and the installation and placement of anti-
