Planning & Zoning Board <br />November 10, 2021 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />Brewpub Locations <br /> <br />Board Comments <br /> <br />Chair Tralle relayed Mr. Root’s recommendation onto the Board. Mr. Root <br />recommended adding definitions for businesses that produce other alcoholic <br />beverages including distillery, cidery, winery, meadery, and sake brewery. Chair <br />Tralle agreed with Mr. Root’s recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Wipperfurth asked staff what is the downside to allowing brewer taprooms in <br />more districts. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala explained, according to state law, brewer taprooms are an accessory use <br />to a brewery. Therefore, by allowing brewer taprooms, breweries would also be <br />permitted in any district. He said breweries are typically industrial uses and they are <br />not appropriate in a commercial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Wipperfurth clarified Big Wood Brewery in downtown White Bear Lake would <br />not be allowed in Lino Lakes unless it was located in a light industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Shay explained, for example, since Surly does all of their bottling in house, they <br />would need to be located in an industrial area. However, a brewpub like Granite City <br />would not need to be located in an industrial area because their bottling is a small <br />portion of their business and it is only available at their brewpub. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala said if the Board wanted to allow breweries by conditional use permit <br />in a commercial district or in the general business district, you would likely establish <br />a limitation for companies not producing more than a specified number of bottles. <br /> <br />Mr. Shay clarified the limitation would be established based on state statute. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert asked if a small brewer can be located in a general business district and <br />sell up to a specific quantity in retail. <br /> <br />Mr. Shay said yes. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle stated there is no reason a brewpub or a taproom should not be allowed <br />in Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert agreed. He appreciated Mr. Root’s suggestion to address various <br />alcoholic beverages other than beer. He commented since they are increasing in <br />popularity, we should adjust our zoning ordinance to address them and encourage <br />such businesses to come to Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle recommended City staff return with a recommendation on how to <br />address breweries, distilleries, etc. at next month’s meeting.
