Background/Options
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate an eating establishment at 7400 W. State Street, located within the Neighborhood/Village Trade and Planned Unit Development (C1/PUD) zoning district. The proposed establishment would occupy a tenant space within the State Street Station mixed-use development, which was previously occupied by MOD Pizza.
The submitted floor plan identifies a dining area, kitchen, and customer entrance along State Street. The applicant is proposing operating hours of 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Monday through Sunday.

During the public hearing, one (1) member of the public spoke in opposition to the proposal. The concerns expressed included the proposed 2:00 a.m. closing time, potential security issues, and late-night noise associated with the use of the trash dumpster. The applicant spoke in favor of the proposal.
