 working on a lease pending approval of their request. Castagnoli asked

 Commissioner Bansal confirmed that the occupancy of the proposed
 banquet hall is 216 people. Shamsi confirmed that 216 is the total
 occupancy of the building once it is finished. Bansal expressed concerns
 that the number of parking spaces needed will not be able to be provided
 for the use. Shamsi responded that they plan on offering valet services and
 will discourage patrons from street parking and would offer shuttle services
 if there are concerns regarding patrons walking between the offsite parking
 at the Grid Connect site and the subject property.

 Commissioner Van Someren asked staff what happens in the event that
 Grid Connect leaves their property and what would happen to the
 petitioner’s lease for the offsite parking spaces. Scopelliti responded that
 this potential situation is part of staff’s concerns with the proposal and
 could inhibit the future use of the property.

 Commissioner McDaniel stated that while he likes the business idea, he
 has concerns with the land use and will not be able to support their request.

 Commissioner Van Someren stated that the City’s Master Land Use Plan
 is very intentional in its uses and recommendations. Van Someren stated
 she leans on staff’s recommendation and is not able to support the request.

 Ali Issa, Engineer for the Petitioner, provided closing remarks.
