part of the application here uh yes it is okay and uh are you going to have um uh
cooking or a type of cooking that might require venting of some sort?
Yes, we will. Since it won't be prepped, we will have to have a kitchen in the back,
and then we would have like steam tables to arrange the food out for it to be a takeout and go.
okay and is the venting um shown on your plans or where would this be technically they're not
because in this um in this sense we're just trying to get a variance for the particular
um zoning of the property so before i would um have any permits for that i would want to make
sure that the zoning is correct for me to do to change the use in a sense.
OK, thank you, of course.
All the questions from the board.
Yeah, I do have a question.
So you're so you're so you're your request is for a takeout restaurant,
not a sit down restaurant.
Is that what your parents was for?
Are you your appeal?
So technically it I did write sit down.
And I'm talking about it in the sense of a takeout restaurant with the accessory of seating, but that in particularly depends on the spacing of the floor plan.
But if I'm correct, in the zoning, takeout and sit down are both not permitted for this zoning for a CMX1.
but your refusal says sit down yes and you're saying take out which is different so
yeah with the accessory seating well technically yes it will be um a sit down restaurant because
you would have you would be seating there
so it's a sit down restaurant yes sir okay um i have a question um are uh the signs
that i see in the picture is that are you intending on keeping that no that came with
the previous tenant that was there for the notary if i'm correct okay so um and is it maybe in the
future a replacement um and the other question was you said that um this was operating as a bar
um is that is there any um as a sit-down restaurant or a takeout as you mentioned
take out sit down um is there any kind of liquor license um no if i'm still no not not that i know
but my um i do know that the reason there wasn't a liquor license um there prior because somebody
had tried to uh zone it for a bar is because there's schools around there so um they denied
that thank you questions from our attorney hillary emerson
um i just wanted to to clarify for miss pagan i mean if this is intended to
be you know if you want this to be primarily a takeout or at times be primarily take out
other times be primarily a sit down um this this zoning approval only covers a sit-down restaurant
um this this zoning approval only covers a sit-down restaurant as it is written so i just
as it is.
wanted to make sure that that that you're clear and if your business model changes or has already
changed you may want to be pursuing um different zoning than what you're pursuing so i just want
to be clear that sit-down restaurant is what is on here not not a takeout restaurant so um
um so that we're all on the same page because you can change you know you can change what you want
to do that is fine um but if you won't come back later and want to do a takeout you will need to
go through this process again um because this is only for a sit-down restaurant and and and you
show a number of tables and chairs and chairs right this account didn't did i see a counter too
yeah so i mean if it's a if it's a i mean it's based on your plan is a sit down and based on
the number of tables and chairs would be 10 people or whatever that you have shown on your plan
um so i would consider yes i would consider it a sit down restaurant i think the concept of
take out is the accessory to it in a sense of having the option of doing that.
But technically, yes, it is a sit down.
Can I ask the chair, if this is approved, would there be a proviso that it would be
the number of chairs and tables as shown on their plan?
Is that something that could be a proviso?
Yeah, I thought, too, if it's approved, I'd have to say sit down only.
Right. And under the code, like a takeout restaurant has fewer than four seats. So there's got to be certain minimal, minimal seating for it to be considered a sit down restaurant.
Questions or comments from the virtual audience?
I see no, Mr. Chair.
