Sunnyvale Zoning Administrator George Schroeder approved a use permit Sept. 10, 2025 for a catering company with ancillary restaurant use and general handheld liquor service at 1220 Oakmead Parkway (file PLNG20250058). The approval includes site improvements and a bike-parking adjustment.

Project planner Gabby Ventura reported no updates to the staff report and no public comments. Applicant representatives Ali Kalish and Christopher Hall joined the hearing. Hall said the business will host occasional on-site activity to test and prepare food and will provide catered events on-site sporadically for clients, estimating roughly once or twice a week but describing such events as irregular rather than on a fixed schedule.

Schroeder said the site improvements required by the permit will bring the property up to code standards, calling out upgrades for the trash enclosure and bicycle parking, and he found the use consistent with the general plan and zoning requirements. He said the bike-parking adjustment request met findings. Schroeder took action on Alternative 1 (approve use permit with findings in Attachment 2 and conditions in Attachment 3).

No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. Schroeder closed the hearing after announcing approval and wished the applicant luck. He noted the decision is appealable to the planning commission within 15 calendar days.
