5.2 The Council will consider a resolution approving a conditional use permit for Pizza Ranch to
have a drive-up window on the east side of the Crystal Gallery Mall facing Sherburne Ave.
The space formerly occupied by Old Country Buffet at 5526 West Broadway (Crystal
Gallery Mall) will be replaced by a Pizza Ranch restaurant which is proposing a conditional
use permit (CUP) for a drive-through facility at the rear of the mall building. The property is
zoned General Commercial (C-2) and restaurants are permitted uses. However drive
through facilities are conditional uses within the C-2. The Planning Commission held a
public hearing on this application at its November 13 meeting and recommended approval
of the conditional use permit.
5.3 The Council will consider second reading of an ordinance adopting Subpart 3 to replace
Subpart 2 in Building Code Chapter 1306 pertaining to fire sprinkler requirements.
The Council has had several discussions regarding amending the provision in Building Code
Chapter 1306 so it pertains only to new construction, additions or individual tenant spaces
with a change in occupancy as defined in the Code. At its last meeting, the Council
approved the first reading of the ordinance making this change. Recommend approval of
the second reading of this ordinance.
