Background Information:
In 1994 Mamacita’s Restaurant Cantina was constructed on the subject property and received a Conditional Use Permit for on-premise consumption of mixed beverages in 1994. Mamacita’s closed in early 2021.
In July of 2021, Anchor Bar received a Conditional Use Permit for on-premise consumption of mixed beverages on the property valid for one (1) year. Anchor Bar closed in 2023.
In October of 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for on-premise consumption of mixed beverages for Buffalo Wild Wings, valid for one (1) year.
Senate Bill 1008 provides provisions on the city’s ability to prohibit amplified sound at a restaurant. Per this bill and staff’s analysis, the City can enforce the existing noise ordinance and the conditions related to noise added to this CUP.
Staff is recommending a six (6) month renewal to give the applicant time to install the required bicycle parking.
