A. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE 15% CAP
ON RESTAURANT USES WITHIN THE TEMPLE CITY MARKETPLACE
(FORMALLY TEMPLE CITY SQUARE) TO ACCOMMODATE THE TENANCY OF
AN ONO HAWAIIAN BBQ RESTAURANT
Executive Director Cole presented a request to grant an exemption from the 15% cap
on restaurant uses within the Temple City Marketplace. The original Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) for the Temple City Square Shopping Center
included a restriction of 15% on the amount of floor area which could be devoted to
restaurant uses. On May 15, 2000, the Agency clarified that any exception must be
considered on a case -by -case basis.
The proposed Ono Hawaiian BBQ Restaurant use will occupy approximately 1,662
square feet and will be located at the former Green Burrito site. The Planning
Commission, at their meeting of February 24, 2004, granted a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) for the restaurant use which included a condition that required approval of the

Agency to override the 15% cap on restaurant uses before the CUP would become
effective.
At this time, approximately 25,046 square feet or 22.5% of the total floor area within
the Center is devoted to restaurant uses. Should the Agency approve this request,
the total square footage of restaurant uses would rise to 24 %. Staff recommended
approval.
Joshua Lianq, applicant, provided details of the restaurant, stating it was quick
service Hawaiian style cuisine with a casual dining concept. He believed it would
bring more shopping traffic into this portion of the Center that has less traffic flow. In
response to Council, Mr. Liang said he read and agreed to the conditions.
In response to a question regarding hours of operation from Mr. Capra, Mr. Liang
said he would request operating hours of 11:00 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. instead of 11:00
a.m. until 8:00 p.m. as stated in the conditions.
Assistant Executive Director Dawson confirmed an 8:00 p.m. closing time was
indicated on the application.
Executive Director Cole stated the item before the Agency is only the request for
exemption from the 15% cap. If the applicant wishes to modify the conditions at this
point, he must go back to the Planning Commission for a modification of the CUP. It
was suggested that Mr. Liang could open his restaurant with the 8:00 p.m. closing
time, until such time as the Planning Commission could hear and make a
determination on the modification of the CUP.
Ms. Wong moved to approve the exemption requested, seconded by Mr. Capra and
unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Member - Capra, Vizcarra, Wong, Arrighi, Zovak
NOES: Member -None
ABSENT: Member -None
