The petition of L. Robert Isaacson on behalf of Savannah Core, LLC is for a Special Use Permit to establish a 45-seat daytime café and nighttime restaurant with on-premises consumption of alcohol. The property is located at 527 East 39th Street (PIN 20075 05010) on the south side of 39^th Street between Price and East Broad Streets. The parcel is 2,760 SF and was developed with a single-family residence built in 1920.

Prior to the update of the zoning ordinance in 2019, the property was zoned B-N (Neighborhood – Business). Yet, the building was always used as a residence.

In 2021, the parcel was included as part of the East Broad Market Planned Development (PD) with the condition that a Special Use Permit must be secured for all uses including restaurants and onsite alcohol consumption due to its Mixed Use (MU) zoning designation. The East Broad Market PD includes retail, restaurants, and residential.

If the petitioner is approved for the Special Use Permit, they will need to secure an Alcohol Beverage License which requires City Council approval.

On February 8, 2022, The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Special Use Permit to establish a restaurant with onsite consumption of alcohol at 527 East 39^th Street (PIN 20078 05010) under the following conditions:

1. The Special Use permit shall be non-transferable for the property owner or petitioner;
2. The Special Use permit shall be on-premises alcohol only;
3. Hours of operation shall be the following:

• Sunday - Thursday: 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m.
• Friday - Saturday: 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
