rear warehouse space.

The flex space will be limited in area and will not access the brewing
equipment.
Minor changes will be made to the exterior to provide windows
into the warehouse space and add mechanical equipment
behind a fence at the rear door.
Excess beer not sold in the tap room will be sold by the keg
through a distributor.

consumption, including beer, wine and liquor shall be properly licensed by
the City of Atlantic Beach, and shall be limited only to restaurants, cafes,
bars and private clubs within commercial general and commercial limited
zoning districts or the central business district in compliance with Chapter 24
of the city code and subject to approval of a use-by-exception in accordance
with Section24-63.

adjoining other commercial and
warehouse type uses on 2 sides.
