Request: The request is to prepare a Development Code Amendment to
address the deletion of the conditional use permit
requirement for the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages
at certain restaurants.
Background
The Development Code requires a CUP for the on-site sale of beer
and wine and/or alcohol at restaurants. A restaurant without on-
site alcohol sales does not require a CUP.
Analysis
Generally, there doesn't appear to be a real concern with most sit
down restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages in conjunction with
the serving of food. We have the ability, through the review
process to add the same conditions that we would through the CUP
process.
By further defining and separating sit down restaurants from bars,
nightclubs, etc., we can process applications in a more timely
manner and still provide all of the safeguards that would be
required. Those safeguards can be included in the Development
Code.
Funding Requirement
staff estimates that it would cost the City approximately $1,200-
$1,500 in Planning staff time to prepare this amendment. There is
a direct cost for the County filing fee of $25.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Mayor and Common council direct Planning staff
to prepare a Development Code Amendment that would further analyze
the deletion of the CUP requirement for sit down restaurants with
on-site alcohol sales.
