A. Background/Options
The applicant is proposing to expand an existing restaurant located at 6715 W. North Avenue in the Neighborhood Village Trade and North Avenue Overlay (C1/NOR) Zone. The surrounding area consists of commercial uses to the north, east, and west, with single-family residential properties located to the south.
The restaurant is proposed to expand into the adjacent tenant space of the building, so the total building square footage will not increase. The existing restaurant is currently 3,572 square feet and with the addition, the restaurant square footage will increase to 4,626 square feet. The addition area will include three bowling lanes intended for use by restaurant patrons.
No changes to the facility’s operating hours are proposed. The restaurant will continue to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday through Sunday.
The required public hearing for this item occurred at the February 24th Plan Commission meeting. No comments were received.
