Facts: |
|
Bonna Station is located in an approx. 1,672 sq. ft. building with seating for 51 patrons inside and a possible additional 28-30 for outdoor seating. There will be approx. 6 employees per shift. While the code requires an additional restroom, the low-number of employees per shift and the intermittent patron load, the single unisex restroom will allow patrons and employees to use the toilet and/or wash hands. The space has been previously used as a cafe with only one restroom and with no known complaints.

Facts: |
|
Space is limited within the building and adding an additional restroom would, if possible, eliminate two tables and 8-10 seats inside the restaurant. The 15%-20% reduction in indoor seating translates into a 15%-20% reduction of revenue for indoor dining, which will comprise the majority of annual revenue. The reduced revenue coupled with the increased cost of renovations attributable to constructing an additional restroom and plumbing in the existing building create an undue hardship and burden on the applicant.
