Description
Installation of and awning and drop curtains in the rear outside patio ofHobee's Restaurant,
Oaks Shopping Center.
Discussion
Hobee's Restaurant proposes to install an awning and drop curtains in the rear outside patio.
They will be made of green canvas. The patio is currently used for outside seating, and the cur-
tains will allow for year-round use.
The Oaks Shopping Center is allocated a maximum 880 restaurant seats, including outside seat-
ing. The center is well below the allowed maximum with 752 seats. The proposed curtains were
reviewed by the fire and building departments, which provided comments that can be resolved at
the building permit stage.
Recommendation
Since there are no problems or impacts with the proposal, staff recommends approval.

Re: Hobee's Restaurant Awning and Patio Drop-Curtain Addition
Hobee's DeAnza Restaurant would like to construct an awning and drop-autain
structure to enclose its outdoor patio seating area during the colder winter months. The awning would
follow the existing roof-line, mounted to the underside. It would be constructed of black aluminum
tubing, covered with a dark green Firesist fire-retarding fabric with large clear plastic windows sewn in to
them. The curtains would be rolled up or down, depending on the weather, using rope and pulley
equipment. The curtains would fasten together at the sides with sewn-in velcro strips. The curtains
would hang down directly outside the existing patio railing, enclosing the patio at the exact limit of the
patio terrace.
The two exit areas would be treated as follows: The end facing Stevens Creek
Boulevard would have a drop curtain attached at the top with rings on a steel cable stretching the lengh of
the curtain, similar to a shower curtain. The end of this curtain would have a large white "EXIT' sign
printed on it with an arrow marked "PULL". The curtain would be pulled back easily, just as a shower
curtain is, and the exit open directly through the existing patio railing. The opposite end of the patio
would have a panel of the same Firesist material instead of a drop curtain. In the middle of the panel
would be a standard 36" patio screen door which would swing in both directions for easy entrance and
exit. It also will have a large white "EXIT' sign printed on it.
It is anticipated that most of the year the curtains will remain in the up position. But
during the rainy, windy months, we will keep the curtains down and fastened securely to accommodate
our customers who would like to be out on our patio.
