Item 4H, Flaherty's Liquor License Amendment

Home Browse Search

The Assistant Planner has also reviewed this application and found that the outdoor patio area meets all of the City's Zoning Code requirements. The proposed patio area will not impact impervious coverage or setbacks, and complies with all fence regulations. She did note that a fence permit would be required to install the fence. In regards to the B-2 Development Moratorium, the proposed plans do not conflict with the restrictions of the moratorium, as no building expansion is being proposed. Flaherty's Arden Bowl is proposing some alterations to the building face that include moving a window and exit door to better accommodate the patio area. These changes will require a building pell11it, but meet the requirements of the design guidelines enacted by the City Council in the B-2 District and, therefore, do not require a Conditional Use Permit or Amendment. City Staff is currently working on updating and recodifying the City's Liquor Ordinance; however, since the CUITent ordinance permits outdoor consumption in designated patio areas, the recodification is not anticipated to impact this application. As part of the recodification process, City Staff is working on updating the liquor license application as well to better meet the requirements of the ordinance. Recommendation The proposed liquor license amendment is in compliance with the City's current Liquor Ordinance. The proposed patioare and building improvements meet the requirements of the City's Zoning Code. Based on this, City Staff recommends approval of Flaherty's Arden Bowl's request to amend their liquor license application to expand the licensed alcoholic beverage service area to include the enclosed outdoor patio.
