1 CUP The Handlebar, LLC Summary The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a bar within 300 feet of residential properties in an existing commercial building at 4 W. Main Street in a C-D (General Commercial with Design Review) zone. This application includes a parking reduction Prepared By Leon Letson, Associate Planner Recommendation Planning Team recommends conditional approval of CUP Reason for the Decision The bar and associated full-service, community bike repair shop are compatible with the surrounding properties, including the adjacent residential neighborhood. This business is similar to adjacent commercial properties in terms of size and use. It is also located within approximately one-half mile of a neighborhood activity center, which promotes small scale commercial uses adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the project will not adversely impact adjacent properties, both commercial and residential. The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The General Mixed Use land use designation promotes a variety of retail, office, restaurants, and high density residential within the neighborhood. The clustering of commercial uses, such as restaurants and retail shops, are encouraged along transit corridors (GDP- MU.1). West-bound transit stops for Bus Routes #6, #7, and #8 are located at the northeast corners of Main Street and 3 rd Street and Main Street and 7 th Street; East-bound transit stops are located at the southwest corners of Fairview and 7 th Street and Fairview and 3 rd Street (GDP-MU.6). This use also contributes to a mix of commercial uses along Main Street (30 th Street Area Master Plan: Main- Fairview Subdistrict Market Strategy) and near existing commercial districts that will serve the adjacent residential neighborhood (Veteran s Park Neighborhood Policy Guide: Land Use Goal: Commercial1a).

26 CUP Letter of Explanation The proposed project is located at 4 W. Main St., in the building formerly used by the Nifty 90 s antique store. The new retail use proposed for the site will be a full-service community bicycle shop and beer garden serving a limited selection of beer and wine only. The existing building is approximately 3300 square feet. Approximately 400 square feet (the main structure fronting Main Street) will provide retail sales and showroom space. The portion of the building extending north from the main structure is approximately 900 square feet, and will house our bicycle repair area (~400 sf), a new ADA bathroom (~150 sf) and a ten-stool bar for serving beer (~350 sf). The property is fully developed and does not have any available parking. As a formerly retail establishment, it may continue to be used as such without parking and without the need for special approval from the City. However, the addition of the 350 sf beer service area requires that the proposed business obtain a Conditional Use Permit for a parking reduction. No changes to the building structure or landscaping on the property is planned. With the exception of the three existing landscaping areas on the west side of the property, the entire property is currently covered by structure or pavement. Currently, the rear paved yard is completely enclosed by high chain-link fence with concertina wire along the top. The proposal is to remove all existing fencing, and re-fence approximately 50% of the existing area with a 4 ornamental iron fence (to be proposed as part of design review). Within the new fenced area are two planned public bicycle repair stations and outdoor seating for seasonal use. The area newly removed from fencing will provide bicycle parking and ingress/egress for the rear of the existing building. There will also be bicycle parking installed along Main Street near the front of the building. The proposed floor plan will utilize existing interior walls to delineate a number of retail areas. All of the square footage will be used for the bicycle portion of the business with the exception of approximately 350 square feet of seating and standing area to the west of the serving bar in the north extension of the existing structure. This area, along with the outdoor patio, is envisioned as a space where the Boise bicycle culture can relax, hold club and organizational meetings, meet up for bicycling excursions and adventures, and regroup after the same. While state law designates this area as a bar, we envision it as a kitchen table for like-minded individuals to exchange stories, ideas, and plans for meeting the health, transportation, and environmental challenges that face our community. We contacted owners prior to the meeting and some came to the scheduled neighborhood meeting held at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, April 4, 014. Neighbors were generally supportive of the project, but expressed concern about existing parking shortages and shortages in the past that have resulted in cars parked along West Idaho Street in front of residential homes. We expect that our project will have minimal impact on the existing parking situation along West Idaho Street because we expect up to 70% of our retail customers to arrive by alternative transportation (mainly by bicycle), and up to 90% of our beer garden customers are expected to arrive by bicycle or on foot, it primarily serving as a meeting place before and after bicycling excursions. Compared to other uses that could potentially use the property, ours would be one of the lowest impact uses possible in relation to parking. Neighbors also expressed concern about nuisance conditions being generated on the outdoor patio during the summer months. The main concern was noise, but smoking was also raised smoking will not be allowed indoors or out. The property is zoned C-D, which allows uses such as retail and bars. However, as primarily a retail establishment, we do not foresee being open late, and we have expressed to the neighbors a willingness to cease serving alcohol at 11:00 p.m. We would accept this as a condition to approval of this our parking reduction request (this CUP application), or it may be more appropriate as a condition on our design review approval. In any event, we have committed to these truncated serving hours and are happy to work with the immediate neighbors on a continuing basis to minimize any impacts on the residential use of their properties.

37 CUP Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission / June, 014 Page 5 of Analysis/Findings Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a bar and associated full-service, community bike repair shop within 300 feet of residential uses and to reduce required off-street parking to zero (0) spaces. There is an established single-family residential neighborhood adjacent to the north of the property that is zoned R-3D (Residential Multiple-Family with Design Review). The properties adjacent to the east, south, and west are zoned C-D (General Commercial with Design Review) and contain commercial uses. The bar, as well as a proposed seasonal outdoor seating area, is oriented toward 5th Street. The seasonal outdoor seating area will be visible from the alley shared by the residential neighborhood to the north. The bar will utilize approximately 500 square feet of the 3,300 square-foot existing building. It will provide 10 indoor seats and seasonal outdoor seating. There are no public schools within 300 feet of the site and no hospitals or churches within 150 feet of the property. To ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and in accordance with Boise City Code Section (C), a recommended condition of approval requires that the bar be closed between :00 am and 6:00 a.m. The application materials state that the serving of alcohol will cease at 11 p.m. in an attempt to minimize impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood. Staff recommends adopting this limitation on hours of service as well as providing screening along the north side of the property as conditions of approval.

38 CUP Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission / June, 014 Page 6 of 10 FINDINGS Section (C7) The Hearing Examiner or the PZC shall review pursuant to section and according to the following criteria: i. The location is compatible to other uses in the general neighborhood.

39 CUP Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission / June, 014 Page 7 of 10 Planning s review and analysis supports this finding. This site is designated as Mixed- Use per the Boise City Comprehensive Plan, which promotes a mix of small-scale retail shops and restaurants adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The nearest residential properties are to the north of the site. In compliance with the conditions of approval, the bar should be compatible with adjacent residential properties. It is oriented away from the neighborhood, and is similar to other commercial uses that occupy this area of Main Street. ii. The proposed use will not place an undue burden on transportation and other public facilities in the vicinity. Correspondence received from commenting agencies indicate support for this finding. ACHD has no specific conditions of approval for this application. The bar and associated full-service, community bike repair shop are not anticipated to generate any additional vehicle trips per day since it is similar to the existing use and is emphasizing the use of alternative transportation for its clientele. Boise City Public Works Solid Waste has requested specific design criteria for the trash enclosure. The Boise City Fire Department and other Public Works departments have responded to this application with standard conditions of approval. The Capitol City Development Corporation (CCDC) has provided comment in support of the application, noting it will add needed activity to this area and further the economic development goals of the 30 th Street Urban Renewal Plan. iii. The site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, pathways, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping and such other features as are required by this Code. A review of the site plan demonstrated compliance with this finding. Although the existing structure does not meet required front (10 ), rear (10 ), or side (10 ) setbacks of the C- zone, the applicant is not proposing any changes to this structure. The fenced patio area meets the required setbacks for this zone. Regarding parking, this site has no off-street parking. The previous retail use at this site was allowed to operate with no off-street parking. Under current Boise City Code, a retail use of this size (3,300 square feet) would have required 11 off-street parking spaces. The applicant s proposal, which includes,400 square feet of retail and 900 square feet of bar/bike repair space, would require a total of 14 off-street parking spaces. The applicant proposes no off-street parking spaces. However, 0 off-street bicycle parking spaces are proposed; two are required. There are also four on-street parking spaces along 5th Street adjacent to this site. In addition, the applicant is not seeking any off-site parking, largely due to the realization that many of the properties in close proximity to this site are likely to redevelop in the near future as the 30th Street Area Master Plan continues to be realized through the recently established 30th Street Area Urban Renewal District and private investment. Furthermore, the City has identified this area as appropriate for allowed reductions in parking and is in the process of establishing a P-3 Parking Reduction Overlay (CAR ), which would reduce the required amount of parking by 0%, or down to twelve (1) off-street parking spaces, for this use. Given these considerations, as well as the fact that alternative transportation is a major component of

40 CUP Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission / June, 014 Page 8 of 10 the applicant s business model, staff supports the applicant s request for a parking reduction. The nature of this project will not require upgrades to existing landscaping. If the applicant volunteers to upgrade landscaping adjacent to 5 th Street or Main Street, CCDC recommends the applicant follow the Neighborhood Streetscape design standards and apply for one of CCDC s streetscape grants for funding. iv. The proposed use, if it complies with all conditions imposed, will not adversely affect other property of the vicinity. The bar and associated full-service, community bike repair shop are surrounded by commercial uses to the east, south, and west. An established residential neighborhood abuts the site to the north. This use should not adversely impact these surrounding uses due to its similarity to other commercial uses in the area. To reduce the noise and potential impact of the bar to the adjacent residential neighborhood, recommended conditions of approval shall require the serving of alcohol to cease at 11 p.m. and a landscape screen along the north side of the property for sound buffering. v. The proposed use is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning finds compliance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. This area is designated as General Mixed Use per the Comprehensive plan, which promotes a variety of uses within neighborhoods (retail, office, restaurants, high-density residential). The bar and associated full-service, community bike repair shop should prove an amenity for nearby residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the clustering of commercial uses, such as restaurants and retail shops, along transit corridors (GDP-MU.1). West-bound transit stops for Bus Routes #6, #7, and #8 are located at the northeast corners of Main Street and 3 rd Street and Main Street and 7 th Street; Eastbound transit stops are located at the southwest corners of Fairview and 7 th Street and Fairview and 3 rd Street (GDP-MU.6). This use also contributes to a mix of commercial uses along Main Street (30 th Street Area Master Plan: Main-Fairview Subdistrict Market Strategy) and near existing commercial districts that will serve the adjacent residential neighborhood (Veteran s Park Neighborhood Policy Guide: Land Use Goal: Commercial 1a). 8. Recommended Conditions of Approval Site Specific 1. Compliance with plans and specifications submitted to and on file in the Planning and Development Services Department dated received April 9, 014, except as expressly modified by the Design Review Committee or the following conditions:.

43 MEMORANDUM TO: Sarah Schafer, Cody Riddle, Jim Toombs FROM: Morgan Maiolie, CCDC DATE: May 7, 014 SUBJECT: Retail + Beer Garden / 3003 W. Main St. / CUP This memorandum provides CCDC s comments regarding the conditional use permit application for a building use change from retail to retail + beer garden at 4 W. Main St. Urban Renewal District 30 th Street CCDC Comments CCDC supports the applicant s request for a conditional use permit, as the intended use will add needed activity to this area and further the economic development goals of the 30 th Street Urban Renewal Plan. If the City of Boise deems it appropriate to require streetscape improvements to accompany this change of use, CCDC suggests the applicant improve their adjacent streetscapes with the Neighborhood Streetscape design standard. This consists of a sidewalk separated from the street by a tree lawn and matches the surrounding streetscapes on 5 th and Main. CCDC suggests that modifications to add bike racks to the streetscape, as shown in the applicant s site plan, are acceptable as they are important to the building use. See attachments below for a link the the Neighborhood Streetscape standard. CCDC suggests that, should the City and business owner take our recommendation to institute neighborhood streetscape, that they also consider designing the lawn strip with native and adaptive plants rather than turf to further solidify the connection between this area and north Whitewater Prk. Blvd. and reduce water use. Finally, if an improved streetscape is deemed appropriate, CCDC encourages the applicant to submit an application to CCDC for a streetscape grant, which would cover the first $5,000 of streetscape improvements and 50% of additional improvement costs, not to exceed $150,000 per project. See attachments below for a link to the CCDC Participation Program. Thank you for the opportunity to review this application.

44 CCDC Recommendation Improve streetscape to Neighborhood standard with modification to allow bike racks along Main Street frontage. Suggest planting landscape strip with native plants rather than turf to match Whitewater Prk. Blvd. to the north and reduce water use.

51 From: To: Subject: Date: joseph guenther Leon Letson CUP /The Handlebar, LLC Tuesday, May 0, 014 :03:16 PM Mr. Letson - As an owner of property within 300 feet of the proposed use I would like to offer the following comments. As I was unable to attend the neighborhood meeting, I wish to also address concerns raised by my fellow neighbors at the meeting. That smoking/drinking in the alley between Main/Idaho has been a problem in the past. Parking continues to be a problem where retail/commercial uses park on Idaho and 5th where residents need to park. Lastly, that noise and loitering after hours can be a nuisance in the summertime. That being said, Mr. Beeter has restricted his hours for alcohol sales, will be no smoking indoor or outdoor, and by the site plan appears to have only trash collection accessing the alley. Therefore I wish Mr. Beeter luck with his business and support the application based on his commitments to the neighborhood livability. Joe Guenther 505 Idaho Street
