VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. RESOLUTION NO. 64, SERIES 2023 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE DELO PLAZA PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW AN OUTDOOR EATING AND SERVING AREA ON LOT 1, DELO PLAZA SUBDIVISION Mayor Maloney introduced the item by title and asked for disclosures; seeing none, he opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Zuccaro noted that about a year ago the Council approved a temporary use permit for this site. This is now the formal PUD amendment for the site. He reviewed the site and the application. This would create a permanent site plan that includes a 10,000 sq. ft. area enclosed by 3.5' tall metal fence and planters; shade structures, gazebo, stage, storage, game areas and decorative lighting; compact crushed granite and artificial turf (requires a waiver); and it would defer construction of 11 parking stalls. This site would be for Rocky Mountain Tap and Garden to use as a beer garden for "to go drinks." Staff reviewed for compliance with the MUDDSG. One waiver is requested to allow for compact crushed granite and artificial turn rather than concrete. Staff recommends support of the waiver and the request to defer the parking spaces. Planning Commission recommended approval with eight conditions. All conditions have been met. Staff is recommending approval this evening. Councilmember Hamlington asked if there was discussion of blocking off the section of the parking lot from traffic. Director Zuccaro stated it is access to the traffic signal for the businesses so it was not reviewed. Garrett Nicodemus, applicant, state the beer garden is critical to the success of their business and he hopes it will be approved. Public Comments Josh Cooperman, Louisville, stated he supports the application as an amenity rather than a parking lot.
