recommendation of approval subject to the revised plans
submitted.
Commissioner Ortiz had some concerns about controlling the
consumption of alcoholic beverages in the area.
Mr. Chicots responded that the applicant had not shown any
indication for applying for an alcohol license and that the
request was only for a restaurant expansion.
Mr. Lyons added that when the applicant does apply, a
conditional use permit would be required for a beer and wine
license and the concern of Commissioner Ortiz would then be
addressed.
Commissioner Ortiz, however, wanted to know if there will be any
type of security during the hours of business.
The Commission was polled to whether or not to include a
condition to require security during the hours of operation.
Commissioners Lowrey, Ruiz, Breen and Chairman Young were all in
agreement that this condition could be added at a later date if
necessary.
