Developing: Staff Recommends Sala Thai Approval
— by Jeffrey Wisniewski — 10 February 2009 — 2 comments below »
City planning staff is recommending that the Planning Commission next Tuesday “direct staff to process Sala Thai’s application in accordance with the [Waterfront Now] Initiative” and dismiss the Commission’s previous denial of a conditional use permit application for a full-service restaurant in the restored historic Civic Arts Building.
According to the draft staff report, a restaurant is permitted under the Initiative and “only a non-discretionary Business License is required to be obtained by the applicant in order to operate a restaurant that does not serve alcohol at the proposed location.” A public hearing or staff review is not required.
More to follow.
It’ll be good to get the Civic Arts building occupied.
I’m curious if the proposed restaurant is still planning to not serve alcohol.
Maybe that would make for waterfront progressive dinners.
Dinner at Sala Thai, followed by drinks at the Powder Keg?
Neighborhood Restaurants Rock. The Powder Keg is great and we need more like it.
