Nan Zetzman is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a restaurant, Artisan Coffee Bistro, with liquor in the C-2 Zoning District. The subject site is located in the South Lake Village Mall. Director Dan Rogness presented Nanette Zetzman has applied for a conditional use permit to allow a restaurant with liquor in the C-2 (General Business) Commercial Zoning District. The restaurant is the Artisan Coffee Bistro, a commercial tenant within Southlake Village. The site is located at 16731 Highway 13 South (Unit 104), Southlake Village shopping center. The City Council granted On-Sale 3.2 Malt and Wine Liquor Licenses to the Artisan on June 4 that is effective July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. The council’s approval is conditioned upon the Planning Commission granting the CUP. Commissioner Questions: Spieler asked does TJ Hooligans have a full liquor license and a C.U.P.? Rogness responded it has a full liquor license and it has been there long enough that it precedes the ordinance that requires it to have a C.U.P. Spieler asked is there a law that states two business that serve liquor have to be a certain distance apart? Rogness responded my understanding there is no distance requirement from one licensed unit to another. In this strip center there are other operations that have liquor license and are in close proximity to one another. 1 L:\12 FILES\12 PLANNING COMMISSION\12 MINUTES\MN062512.doc Roszak asked did the City Council already approve a portion on this topic?

VOTE: Ayes, Spieler, Roszak, Hite and Blahnik. The Motion carried. Applicant Ben Peters 20181 Lake Ridge Drive stated we are not trying to run a bar we are running a restaurant.

Applicant Peters responded we do have some outdoor seating, but we will not be serving liquor outside. Spiele r asked is there any regulation on the age of your servers if you serve alcohol?

It does not appear to have any undue adverse impacts of the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties. Hite stated I too will be supporting this application, it is consistent with the intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance and the use district in which the conditional use is located. Spieler stated you have addressed all the concerns and comments. You are also following all the rules and laws that a liquor license imply. I will be supporting this.
