Included with the four "Potential Action Items" listed on the agenda, the planning group will discuss a Neighborhood Use Permit application submitted by Filter Cofffeehouse at 1295 University Ave. The popular cafe currently has an outdoor seating area, but has applied to renovate its 200-square foot sidewalk cafe.

Kevin Gardner, known by many as "Nelly," is a popular bartender in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego.

When asked his age, Kevin replied, "Do I have to give you my real age?" -- although we are certain he hasn't even hit 30 yet.

Hailing from Palm Springs, Kevin made it clear he is not from the city's Warm Sands neighborhood, home to many "clothing optional" resorts.

In response to our question about whether or not he is single or taken, he said, "Taken -- yes ... advantage of -- obvie."
