Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 13, 2023 Page 2 of 14 Brauneis opened the public hearing. A. Planned Unit Development Amendment — Delo Plaza — Consideration of Resolution 13, Series 2023, recommending conditional approval of an amendment to the DELO Plaza PUD to allow an outdoor eating and serving area at Rocky Mountain Tap and Beer Garden. Applicant: Rocky Mountain Tap and Garden Case Planner: Rob Zuccaro, Community Development Director All notice was met as required and there is no commissioner conflict of interest. Staff Presentation: Zuccaro offered a resolution recommending conditional approval for the application. It is Lot 1 within the Delo Plaza Commercial Center, which is bounded by Short St, South St and Highway 42/Courtesy Rd. Zuccaro mentioned that the Commissioners will be familiar with the proposed use based on a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) application last year for the beer garden. This is the first development of one of the out lots of this parcel. The applicant is requesting permanent approval of a beer garden use. Zuccaro mentioned that the application is unusual from a liquor license standpoint, but not from a site development standpoint. Rocky Mountain Tap and Garden is within a mixed use district and subject to those standards and zoning guidelines. This PUD amendment is required because it is its own development parcel and there was not an outdoor eating area previously approved. This is not a special use review, rather it is a site development plan review. The proposal is for a 10,000 sf enclosure with a fence and gate. It includes shade features, gazebos, decorative lighting and planters, artificial turf and compact crushed granite, which will require a waiver request for surface material since it is not stamped concrete or pavers. The applicant has reclaimed the space from 11 parking spaces planned as part of the PUD, which were never installed. The applicant is asking to defer them, so if there ever was a proposed drive -through use that would be reevaluated. Tap and Garden's liquor license currently only covers the indoor space, and alcoholic beverages are provided to -go. Currently patrons have to cross the private drive aisle at the crosswalk to use the beer garden space. The State's allowance for to -go liquor licenses is set to expire in June 2025. Zuccaro mentioned that the applicant could make City of Louisville Community Development 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4592 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov M
