3. PUBLIC HEARING Case 1804-SUP/El Rincon. Public hearing, discussion, and take action on a recommendation regarding an ordinance changing the zoning on property located at 5004 Addison Circle, which property is currently zoned Urban Center, UC, by approving a Special Use Permit for a restaurant with the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption only.
  Discussion:
Charles Goff, Director of Development Services, presented the Staff Report.
 
Commissioner Dougan inquired about the reasoning behind reducing the outdoor patio area. Charles Goff responded that the right-of-way in Addison Circle extends all the up to the building line and the previous tenant had a license agreement with the property owner and the Town in order to extend the patio into a portion of the right-of-way. Using the right-of-way is accompanied by various stipulations and requirements, as well as possible insurance implications. For these reasons, the new tenant has decided not to pursue the license agreement.
 
Chair Kathryn Wheeler inquired about the restaurant name having the phrase “tequila bar” and whether this is going to cause issues with signage. Charles Goff stated that the applicant could not use the phrase in their exterior signage but it could be used on menus and interior signage.  
 
The applicant, Rick Na, answered questions from the Commission regarding other restaurant locations, business operation, and marketing the new restaurant to Town residents.
 
Chair Kathryn Wheeler opened the meeting as a public hearing.
