Proposal

The applicant is requesting modifications to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit for Gaia Restaurant to allow alternative soundproofing materials that provide equivalent noise protection for residents living above the restaurant. The modification would reduce the required sound mitigation construction from a complex spring-isolated ceiling system to a simpler single-layer gypsum board ceiling, based on lower anticipated sound levels of 75 dBA versus the originally planned 85 dBA.

Staff Recommendation
