1 --- R E P 0 R T TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL NOM THE CITY MANAGER DATE: November 29, 1993 -SUBJECT: - Findings and Recommendations of the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Section 42.9 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding Revocation Procedures to modify and/or impose new conditions in lieu of Taco Bell's Use Permit at 910 Woodside Road (continued from November 1, 1993). EXE RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council hear additional testimony, close the public hearing, review the findings and recommendations of the Zoning Administrator and impose new conditions to Taco Bell's Use Permit (Alternative 2). BACKGROUND: On November 1, 1993, the City Council opened a public hearing to review evidence and receive testimony related to Use Permit revocation proceedings for the Taco Bell restaurant located at 910 Woodside Road. This item came to your Council in the form of a Recommendation by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to the procedures outlined in Section 42.9 of the Zoning Ordinance related to Revocation Proceedings. As evidenced by the video taken by the adjacent residents as well as an attached petition from neighbors complaining about the recurrent noise, traffic and loitering-related problems, the impacts of this commercial use on the adjacent residential units are serious. Although there exist remedies to address these types of nuisances, staff strongly feels that their effectiveness will rely mainly on the continued vigilance and social "awareness" of the Taco Bell chain, which includes their managers, restaurant operators and security guards. Substantial time and effort have been expended by both City Planning and Police staff in order to clearly identify the issues and seek ways to mitigate related impacts to the neighborhood caused by the subject Taco Bell restaurant operation.
