Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Direction for Strategic and Economic Growth
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Planning
CONTACT: Brian Lockley, AICP, Director of Planning
Samantha Pickett, Planning Manager
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Staff recommends approval of the proposed specific use permit for a Private Club.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is requesting a specific use permit so that the existing restaurant located at 100 N. Tennessee Street (The Celt Irish Pub) can operate as a Private Club. A Specific Use Permit for a Private Club allows a larger percentage (65%) of the sales receipts from the sale of alcohol than a typical Mixed Beverage Permit (which allows 50%). If the requested Specific Use Permit is approved and issued to the applicant, the applicant must then apply for and receive the necessary alcohol permits from the City of McKinney and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) before selling any alcohol on the premises.
• The zoning on the property (“MTC” - McKinney Town Center Zoning District) requires that a specific use permit be granted in order for a Private Club to be operated on the subject property.
• On January 10, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 to continue the public hearing and table the item to the January 24, 2017 meeting due to notification signs not being posted on the subject property in the timeframe required by the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• Please see attached Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Staff report.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
• On January 24, 2017 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0-0 to recommend approval of the proposed specific use permit.
