Background Information:
The applicant is requesting a new CUP for the on-premise consumption of mixed beverages. Valentino’s, a pizza restaurant, shut down in 2018. Previously, the restaurant held a long-standing Unrestricted (bar) permit to serve alcohol for on-premises consumption; the permit dated back to 1991. A new owner bought the business and would like to keep the previous business model. The new CUP will be a restaurant (restricted) permit.
Restaurant and Bar uses serving alcohol within the downtown CBA are subject to specific Use Standards which include limitations on noise, cleanliness of immediately adjacent areas, serving meals to customers, and 3‐year maximum terms of CUP validity.
Due to the building’s location within the Downtown Historic District, any exterior changes to the building will be required to receive an approved Certificate of Appropriateness prior to installation.
