Summary
The commission approved a special permit and detailed site plan allowing a ballroom/ small events venue at 600 S. Stanton with a 60% parking reduction and a 0-foot side-street setback; the applicant said the indoor capacity is about 100–130 and provided a parking study showing available on‑street and nearby spaces.
The City Plan Commission approved a special permit and detailed site development plan for an infill ballroom/event venue at 600 S. Stanton, granting a 60% parking reduction and a side‑street setback reduction to 0 feet.
Planner Jose Beltran said the site is 0.29 acres in a C‑4 zone and that an infill development automatically qualifies for a 50% parking reduction; the applicant requested 60% and submitted a parking study showing an average of 28 daytime spaces and 70 spaces within 300 feet. The development requires 35 parking spaces; the applicant proposes 14 on‑site spaces.
The project team described the venue as a small ballroom for quinceañeras, birthdays and similar events with an estimated occupancy of about 100–130 people. Commissioners asked about parking and possible noise impacts; the applicant said adjacent land uses are predominantly commercial and that the alley and other buffers would mitigate impacts on the limited number of nearby residences.
A motion to approve the special permit and detailed site plan passed. The transcript shows a roll call for this agenda item in which most commissioners voted aye and Commissioner Rodriguez recorded a nay on a later roll call; the motion ultimately passed.
