the commercial downtown C1 zoning district. General location 99 Third Street Northwest. The area covered by this request is 0.5 plus minus acres. All right, Heather Reutder, for the record. Um, before you is the zoning
map. As you can see, the subject property there is in the hatched. It is located uh in our commercial downtown C1 zoning district at the corner of Third Street and Avenue A. Um, as you look at the aerial map, you can see there it is the end unit in that building directly
across from the city's library and parking garage. This is a street view looking to the north at the subject property. As you look to the west, uh, down Third Street. As you look to the north along
Avenue A, to the east uh there is the public library and to the south we have our parking garage. The petitioner is requesting special use approval for a large scale drinking establishment located in the
commercial downtown C1 zoning district. The property subject to this request is located at 993rd Street Northwest. The applicant proposes to operate a drinking establishment called Sage Cocktail Lounge in the approximately 2200 ft² lease space. The proposed floor plan for
Sage Cocktail Lounge contains of three hightop tables with eight seats each, two tables with two seats each, six tables with one sofa and two chairs each, and a bar that seats 25. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from noon to 2:00 a.m.
and Sunday from noon to midnight. For section 2196, the applicant has developed a security plan that has been approved by the chief of police. A large-scale drinking establishment with 2200 square ft of gross floor area would require 31 parking spaces. Since the
property is located in the C1 zoning district, there are no on-site parking requirements. However, within the downtown corridor, there are approximately 700 public parking spaces either on street in a parking lot or in the downtown parking garage. Again, the subject property is located immediately
across Third Street Northwest from the city's downtown parking garage. Um, when reviewing this case, uh, the location of the Sage Cocktail Lounge in the city's downtown is consistent with the long-term goals to grow the social, cultural, and business core of the city,
and their minimum off-site impacts are expected as a result of this request. Therefore, staff does recommend that you recommend approval of this case uh, in the subject to the conditions that are located within the agenda packet. Um, and as you look here at the floor plan,
this is what submitted. um as a conceptual floor plan for the lounge. Limit any questions? Thank you, Heather. Um commissioners, do you have any questions? If not, we'll close the
commissioner side of the meeting and open it to the public. Are there any comments from the public? No comments. Okay, we'll close the public side of the meeting and take it back to the commissioners. And if there's no more questions, want to entertain a motion.
I'd like to make a motion in favor of P-25-02-S request by LFG FTW LLC for a special use approval for a large scale drinking establishment in the commercial downtown C1 zoning district. General location 993rd Street Northwest. Area
covered by this request is 0.05 more or less acres as presented by staff and in the fact sheet. Thank you. Second. Second. Thank you. All in favor? Any opposed? Motion
passes. Okay, moving on to other business. Um, not much from us other than um the item that you heard at your last meeting uh was heard by the city commission and has been transmitted to the state. It's for the annex property off of um Old Barto Lake Wells Road and
um McClean Road near 653 out there. and uh it's being reviewed by Florida Department of Commerce. When it comes back, we'll take it back for adoption to the city commission. And I only have one one item. Um there was one item identified in the city strategic plan that
identified a joint um workshop uh session between the planning commission and the city commission. Um staff is working through putting together an agenda for that. And so some additional information will be coming out shortly. Um we want to get that done um hopefully
in this fiscal year in the near future. Okay. Thank you. Any comments from the public? No. Okay. Meeting adjourned.
