Council reviews multiple liquor-license and temporary alcohol permit applications; Public Safety unanimously forwarded restaurant application

City staff presented four alcohol-license applications and several special-event permits to the council, including a restaurant retail liquor-license application that Public Safety had unanimously recommended for full council consideration.

Staff said Olympus 01 LLC, doing business as Santo Street Eats and Bar, applied for a restaurant retail liquor license for 1014 Seventh Avenue with hours listed as Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Monday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The presenter noted that the Public Safety committee voted unanimously to forward the application to the full council.

Staff also described multiple special-event and short-term retail permits: J and S Bartending LLC applied for less-than-seven-day permits for the Druid City Arts Festival and a barbecue event; Downtown Entertainment LLC applied for a March 22 day-party tied to a Sigma Nu event at 990 University Boulevard; Party Down LLC and other vendors applied for fraternity parents-weekend and anniversary receptions across University Boulevard addresses (including 332, 416, 946 and 960 University Boulevard). Staff listed tentative event hours where known (for example, one event was described as 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a Saturday).

Staff said representatives of a church that owns a property across the street from the Santo Street Eats site planned to meet with staff before the full council meeting and might choose to speak to council. The transcript does not record final votes on the event permits in the excerpt provided.
