1/26/2026	1	CITY PLAN COMMISSION	RECOMMENDED FOR PASSAGE AND ASSIGNED; Minutes note: Ms. Connelly presented. This amendment was requested by Miana Lee and will allow the existing one-story building at 11301 West Lake Park Drive to be used as an assembly hall and catering service primarily intended for community memorials and cultural gatherings. A commercial kitchen (“catering service”) will be built out within the space to support meal preparation for on-site events and may also be leased when available as a base kitchen for food trucks, catering services and other licensed food vendors. All interior building alterations will meet building and accessibility codes. No changes are proposed to the parking lot, building footprint, massing, or exterior façade. All existing landscaping and vegetation on the site will be retained and maintained. Interior improvements will include the addition of a new commercial kitchen. Staff recommended approval. Ald. Larresa Taylor, 9th Ald. Dist., was in support. The business would resemble the Italian Community Center but serve the local Hmong community. Appearing: Miana Lee, applicant Ms. Lee said that the building had been vacant for over a year, she intends to use the space to be used for community cultural and memorial services, any outdoor activities would end at 8 p.m., and there would be a commercial kitchen added within the building to support on-site events and also allow for licensed catering to take place. Commissioners inquired about monument or additional signage. Ms. Connelly said that any signage above the current allowance would require a minor modification to the DPD zoning. Commissioner Washington moved approval, seconded by commissioner Smith. (Prevailed 7-0)	Pass	7:0
