Rachel Lazo, Planning & Development, stated that this request is for a Conditional Use Permit for the use of a Night Club, Bar or Tavern for 1,425 square feet of an existing shopping center, located at 2418 Texas Avenue South Suite F, and currently zoned GC General Commercial. The land use requested includes: a drive-up window; potential food sales; retail sales; limited interior-only seating; and alcohol sales for on-site and off-site consumption. The proposed use of a bar in this location requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a Nightclub, Tavern or Bar Use. The applicant has proposed to turn approximately 1,425 square feet of existing commercial space in the Parkway Square Shopping Center into a use classified as a Nightclub, Tavern or Bar, allowing more than 75% of their annual gross revenue to be derived from the sales of alcohol. The applicant has not proposed any additional changes to the site. Ms. Lazo explained that the proposed location is within an existing space with a drive-thru, therefore keeping the site plan and circulation plan harmonious with the character of the surrounding area. Also, given the property’s close proximity to multiple commercial developments in the area, the location supports the proposed use, while matching the character of the surrounding area. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their October 4, 2018 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval. At approximately 7:09 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
