savings, repealing and severability clauses; providing for an effective date; providing for a
penalty clause not to exceed $2,000 or the highest penalty amount allowed by law, whichever is

building that is currently zoned as Restricted Commercial (Cl) and is located at 403 N. Powell
Pkwy (Hwy5). The property is owned by Tony and Yvonne Ulaj and commonly known as
Joe's Italian Bistro.
The subject property is within the Downtown Redevelopment District (ORO) as envisioned in
Anna's adopted Comprehensive Plan. One of the underlying principles of the plan is to make
the area more "sustainable". A part of this is to allow residential use above or in existing
commercial structures. This also increases the residential density of the DRO and as this type
of overhead use of space increases the vitality of the DRO. This type of use is not new for
Anna since the office space directly to the east of Joe's Italian Bistro has two occupied living
units in it above the office space. The staff is recommending approval ofthe requested SUP.
