STAFF COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION
In May of this year, the City Commission adopted revisions to Chapter 3 of the City Code, which sets forth regulations for the sale and consumption of Alcoholic Beverages. The updated
provisions now require approval of a Use-by-Exception for any new location that serves beer, wine or liquor for on premise consumption.
This Use-by-Exception is requested to allow a pizza and Itallian restauent to serve beer and wine only. While this location has been the site of other restaurants and coffee shops,
the previous businesses did not serve beer and wine. Staff finds that the requested Use-by-Exception is consistent with this area, and that the service of beer and wine is typical
to the proposed use.
