Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use Permit to allow on-sale liquor in conjunction with a tasting room and outdoor patio on the property located at 725 Saint Joseph Street in the Central Business District (CB). The property is comprised of 0.08 acres and currently contains a 2-story commercial building. The proposed tasting room will operate on the ground floor, which was previously occupied by Ugly Graffiti Downtown, a restaurant that served beer and wine. The second floor of the building is currently used as offices. The applicant is proposing to operate a tasting room that serves wine products produced under their farm winery license. Hours of operation are proposed to be Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wines will be sold by the glass and bottle for on-premises consumption. Additionally, the applicant will sell bottles of wine for off-premise consumption, which is considered retail sales and is a permitted use in the Central Business District. All wine will be stored behind the bar, out of the reach of the public, and extra stock will be stored in a lockable closest or room. The tasting room will also offer non-alcoholic drinks and food items such as cheese, crackers, and cured meats and catered food will be offered at private events. There is an existing patio with a 3-foot metal fence in the right-of-way adjacent to this property that was previously permitted as a sidewalk café (File #10SC003). In order to continue to utilize the outdoor patio, the applicant must obtain an updated Sidewalk Café Permit for the outdoor patio within the right-of-way consistent with the requirements of Rapid City Municipal Code Section 12.12.030.
