Restaurant at 804 Pass‑a‑Grille Way heads to city commission after informational review

City staff presented an informational briefing on a conditional‑use application (Case 25133) for 804 Pass‑a‑Grille Way, a three‑story restaurant proposal that includes outdoor dining decks and no amplified outdoor music.

Planner Gil Martinez summarized the proposal: a roughly 521‑square‑foot kitchen, about 28 indoor seats (main elevated floor) and 24 outdoor seats on that level, and a third story with approximately 58 indoor and 32 outdoor seats; proposed hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Staff confirmed that, if the commission approves the conditional use on Dec. 9, the applicant would proceed to administrative site‑plan and building permitting.

Board members had limited questions and generally said the design fit the local commercial design district aesthetic; one member commented that the plan felt like a lot of program for a small lot. No decision was taken at the informational meeting because the board lacked quorum; the City Commission will make the formal determination on Dec. 9.
