CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request from Landshark Café for a Use-by-Exception to allow for the on-premise consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in association with a restaurant within the Commercial
General (CG) Zoning District at 1013 Atlantic Boulevard within the Atlantic Village Shopping Center.
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP

DATE: July 19, 2007
BACKGROUND: This request seeks approval of a Use-by-Exception to allow for the on-premise consumption of Alcoholic Beverages (SRX-Special Restaurant License) in association with an
existing restaurant, the Landshark Café. The restaurant currently has a Use-by-Exception for beer and wine service, and wishes to expand to provide full Alcoholic Beverage service.
The SRX license requires that at least 51% of sales be food, and the owner has stated that even with full beverage service, they expect food sales to far exceed the 51% amount.
Staff recommends approval of this request in that full beverage service would seem to be a reasonable expansion of services for a successful restaurant, and this business seems to be
a positive and well-received addition to the Atlantic Village Shopping Center. Other restaurants within the center have similar SRX licenses. The Community Development Board considered
this request at their July 17th meeting and unanimously recommended approval.
BUDGET: No budget issues.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of a Use-by-Exception (File Number UBE-2007-03) for the Landshark Café to permit the on-premise consumption of Alcoholic Beverages (SRX DABT license) in association
with a restaurant within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District at 1013 Atlantic Boulevard within the Atlantic Village Shopping Center.
