City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 23, 1997 • Page 5 1 Commissioner Bergstrom noted the Planning Commission has been evaluating commercial 2 property development in the City with respect to the split liquor issue. He stated that there is 3 an opportunity, with a relatively short window, that the City has for Apache and the shopping 4 center on the south end of town for developing, encouraging, allowing, a fine dining 5 establishment. He stated the.City would benefit with the amenity and it would be a good 6 addition to the commercial tax base. The recommendation of the Planning Commission to the 7 City Council is that they obtain a definitive answer to the process of changing to split liquor 8 and to consult with someone who works with the commercial development of fine dining 9 establishments. If the City Council wishes, the Planning Commission will work on this issue. 10 Mayor Ranallo stated that the City has communicated the desire of a fine dining establishment 11 to all the developers who have worked in the City. If one could be located in the City and 12 would want to serve liquor, the City would view this favorably. Thus far, after performing a 13 survey of the City, no one has been interested. 14 Councilmember Enrooth stated it was not that the City was against split liquor. They have 15 made inquiries but have been told that the demographics are not favorable for that type of 16 establishment, nor are we located on a 35W or 694. 17 18 A.
