The Trophy Club Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that the Town Council approve a specific use permit request to allow on‑premises alcoholic beverage sales at Rosati’s Pizza, located at 2210 State Highway 114, Suite 2250.

Staff said the request was triggered by a change in ownership and that the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) required a valid local specific use permit for the business to complete its paperwork. Matt, the planning staff member who presented the item, told commissioners that distances to churches and schools are unchanged from the prior permit and that Chief Arata reviewed and approved the application. Staff recommended approval as presented.

The commission closed the public hearing with no speakers signed up, then moved to a recommendation to approve. Commissioners asked whether the kitchen would remain open during late hours and whether the business operates primarily as carryout or dine‑in. Matt said he did not have answers to those operational questions at the meeting. A commissioner noted that TABC definitions and the restaurant permit require that no more than 60% of revenue come from alcohol in a restaurant environment.

The motion that "the specific use permit is recommended for approval as presented" carried by unanimous voice vote; the transcript records no opposed votes or public opposition.

Why it matters: The change of ownership triggered the permit process and a local approval is part of the TABC application; whether the business operates primarily as carryout or dine‑in could affect how the permit is implemented but was not resolved at the meeting. The commission’s recommendation now goes to the Town Council for final action.
