RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Ordinance (Attachment No. 1) approving Zoning Code Amendment P2018-0067-ZCA related to beverage tasting facilities and artisanal alcohol production.
BACKGROUND
On Wednesday, June 13, 2018, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended the City Council approve the Zoning Code Amendment with the provisions that
1: Language be added to refer to “microbreweries” as “artisanal alcohol production” and that such uses should be subject to an administrative use permit and 2: Artisanal alcohol production facilities should be added as an allowable use subject to a limitation that the microbreweries and Artisanal alcohol production may be greater than 20 percent the gross floor area of the main use but no greater than 30 percent the gross floor area of the main use.
At the City Council meeting of June 9, 2018, the City Council unanimously introduced the proposed Ordinance Zoning Code Amendment P2018-0067-ZCA.
Pursuant to City Council’s direction, the proposed ordinance includes various changes to the Zoning Code Amendment (See Exhibit A to the Ordinance). The following description includes, but is not limited to, the key code language that was modified:
§ Edits to the definitions for Bars and Night Clubs and Restaurant, Table Service and new definitions for Beverage Tasting Facilities and Artisanal Alcohol Production.
§ Changes have been made to use tables to reference the requirements for AUP for Beverage Tasting Facilities and Artisanal Alcohol Production where the total area is greater than 20 percent of the gross floor area of the main use but does not exceed 30 percent of the gross floor area.
§ Footnotes were added to the use tables as appropriate to account for the changes to the Municipal Code related to alcoholic beverages.
The proposed Ordinance is brought back for adoption by the City Council.
