Dog Haus is a gourmet hot dog, sausage and hamburger restaurant chain that is based out of Pasadena, California and is rapidly expanding in several states. The proposed site is a vacant outlot consisting of approximately 0.92 acres that was part of the Rose Plaza development. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required and the concept plan stage of the PUD process allows for feedback prior to the submittal of final development plans. The proposed restaurant consists of 2,468 square feet. The restaurant does not include a drive-through. There is an outdoor patio area on the east and north sides of the building. The proposed building elevations are still being reviewed at this time. Staff has recommended adding additional brick or stone to the building. The main access to the site will be from the interior private road at the west end of the site. Future cross access is approved on the north end of the site and will be provided when the lot to the north is developed. A total of 54 parking spaces are proposed, which exceeds the minimum required by the Parking Code. Wall signage is shown around the north, east and south sides of the building. The proposed wall signage complies with the Sign Code. The location and size of the freestanding sign is still being evaluated. Similar to other outlots along the Weber Road corridor, the freestanding sign must be a monument sign with a masonry base and landscaping. All of the required landscaping around the building and parking lot is provided. Landscaping around the proposed monument sign will be required once the final location of the sign is determined. Stormwater management for this lot is provided in regional basins that were constructed as part of the Lakewood development. Method of Investigation: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the proposal and has provided feedback to the applicant. Recommendation: Provide input to the applicant.
