In accordance with Chapter 502 of the City Code: <br /> <br />Outdoor Consumption Endorsement. A special endorsement may be issued by <br />the City to the holder of a regular on-sale intoxicating liquor or on-sale wine <br />license to allow sales and consumption of intoxicating liquor outdoors when the <br />outside service area is immediately adjacent to and contiguous with the licensed <br />premises. The licensee shall make application for the special endorsement to <br />the City and provide site plans which illustrate the proposed outdoor service area. <br />The special endorsement may be issued by the City Council to the licensee by <br />resolution after a public hearing on the special endorsement is held. The <br />designated outside service area shall not reduce the number of off-street parking <br />spaces which would be required if the licensed premises together with the <br />outside service area were to be newly constructed in conformity with the City’s <br />zoning code. The City may also require improvements to the outside service <br />area prior to issuing the special endorsement, including but not limited to, safety <br />barriers or other enclosures to be placed around the perimeter of the outside <br />service area in order to protect patrons from any hazards, including vehicular <br />traffic. <br /> <br />This public hearing was published in the City’s official newspaper. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />El Loro currently has an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License on file with the City and the <br />Minnesota Department of Public Safety. El Loro has submitted plans to the Community <br />Development Department to construct a patio, located near the front entrance of the <br />establishment. Attached is the submitted plan for the patio for your reference. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends opening the Public Hearing for public comment. Staff recommends approval <br />of this endorsement. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />___________________________ <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br />
