5. DISCLOSURE OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS No disclosures of ex -parte communications were made. 6. CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATIONS A. COU 24-01: Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen Conditional Use Request for Beer Wine and Liquor Staff Presentation: Matt Linder, Planner I, presented the agenda item and provided an overview of the conditional use request. The applicant, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, is requesting approval for beer, wine and liquor sales (4COP) for on-site consumption at a new restaurant planned for a vacant property just north of the old police department, adjacent to Lake Concord. Mr. Linder noted that the sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On -Site Consumption requires conditional use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, as provided in Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR) Table 2-5.3. Regarding land use compatibility, the site is located along U.S. 17-92 and has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Major Thoroughfare Mixed -Use (MTMU), making it ideal for a restaurant or other commercial uses. To the north is a Home Depot and Publix shopping plaza consisting of a variety of consumer services and retail stores. To the east is Lake Concord, to the west is U.S. Highway 17-92, and to the south is City property. Alcohol sales will be incidental to the site's primary use as a restaurant and as such, are not anticipated to adversely impact the surrounding areas. As for the size and adequate site specifications, the staff is not concerned about this criterion given that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement has been executed for this site providing specific development standards and design criteria. Mr. Linder then went on to note that, as of today's date, the location of the property satisfies the applicable distance separation requirements provided in ULDR Section 10-7. Staff recommends that case number COU 24-01 be approved with staff's conditions, based upon the staff report and the testimony and evidence presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the Unified Land Development Regulations and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as per the written findings contained within the staff report. The conditions of approval are as follows: 1. The conditional use shall be limited to the subject parcels (Parcel Numbers: 08-21-30- 5BL-OB00-0010 and 08-21-30-5BL-IF00-0040). 2. All sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages, except for approved package sales, shall be on-site and indoors or confined to outdoor seating areas as part of an approved site plan per ULDR Article XVIII, Site Plan Review. 3. Sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited when,food service is unavailable. 4. The hours of on-site alcohol consumption and sales shall comply with the hours outlined in City Code Section 10-2.
