AGENDA ITEM #3A
NOVEMBER 9, 2015
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting to open a store for the retail sale of craft beer at 1011
Atlantic Boulevard. The store will feature 40 taps where customers can come in and sample up to six
one-ounce samples and then have a container (growler) filled for the customer to take home. The
growlers range in size from 32 ounces to 128 ounces. The applicant is required to obtain a Use-By-
Exception per Section 24-111 ( c )(3 ), which states one is needed for, "on-premises consumption of
alcoholic beverages" within the Commercial General zoning district. In this case, the retail sale of beer
would be allowed by right, but the drinking of samples in the store results in on-premises consumption.
The proposed store is located within the LA Fitness shopping center, which includes a few restaurants
that currently serve beer, wine, and liquor. The closest residential properties are townhomes located in
the rear of the shopping center along Cavalla Road. The shopping center cuiTently has more than
enough parking per city standards. There will be no changes to ingress or egress. The outside of the
unit is maintained by property management, including trash. The applicant has stated their hours of
operation would be approximately 11 AM to 11 PM. Section 3-2(a) of the city code prohibits the sale of
alcohol between 2 AM and 7 AM.
The Community Development Board will review this request at their October 27th meeting. CDB
recommendations will be presented to the Commission at the November 9th Commission meeting.
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve UBEX-15-1066
