ENZO’S BISTRO AND BAR PROPOSED OUTDOOR PATIO EXPANSION
Dear Mr. Mclellan:
The Design and Development Department has reviewed your request for a modification to the
commercial property at 78121 Avenida La Fonda. The modification includes new construction
for purposes of an expanded outdoor patio area of approximately 1,800 square feet, including
decorative pavers, bocce ball court, outdoor lighting, and rear fence. The area of the patio
expansion was approved for a 1,800 square foot building expansion under VUP2013-048 when
the facility was previously known as the Crabpot restaurant. The applicant has not
abandoned the building expansion plans and the VUP entitlement is still active until October
11, 2018.
The design does not result in changes to front elevations and will not change the building
footprint of the existing Enzo’s restaurant building. Additionally, It has been determined that
said plan modifications are minor, will not result in a significant change in the project as
approved by the decision-making authority. Therefore, the design modification is approved as
shown on the attached exhibit, subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. Separate Commercial Remodel permit will be required, the following is a list of
items that will be necessary to obtain building division approval:

modified by the conditions of approval.
2. The two employee parking spaces adjacent to the alley as identified in Attachment 1 shall
be reconfigured to the west property line to allow an unobstructed pedestrian access to
