Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes December 12, 2018 Page 2 Fifth Item of Business: CU 18-18: 1531 E Altamonte Drive. A conditional use request to allow the sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption at the Wanasa Hookah Lounge. Mr. Jonathan Tardif, Planning Technician, reviewed the information provided in his memorandum dated December 12, 2018, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Tardif explained that on November 22, 2017 the applicant, Sami Salama of Florida Curtains, Inc., submitted a conditional use application for the ability to serve beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the request at the December 13, 2017 meeting. Mr. Tardif said the applicant requested an extension to the conditional use approval due to water and sewer issues that delayed the construction of the kitchen. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the extension on April 11, 2018. Mr. Tardif said the applicant has met all the parking conditions but has revised his business plan and will not be providing a food component to the business. He explained that all the previous approvals for this site regarding alcohol consumption are no longer valid. Mr. Tardif said that the applicant is requesting conditional use approval for a 2COP license for the on-site consumption of beer and wine as an ancillary use to the existing hookah business. He said that the applicant is required to meet the distance requirements in Section 10-7. Mr. Tardif said staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission approve CU 18-18 to allow the sale of beer and wine (2COP) for on-site consumption at 1531 East Altamonte Drive. He said staffs recommendation is based on the findings of fact and conclusions of the staff report dated December 12, 2018, and the twelve conditions of approval outlined in the staff report.
