Council reviews several business-license applications; several items to be decided in regular meeting
Summary
Work-session discussion covered applications for a vape shop, a brunch restaurant pending certificate of occupancy, a lounge liquor license, a mobile food truck, and nuisance-abatement designations; councilors generally deferred final action to the regular meeting pending paperwork and public hearings.
Councilors heard brief staff reports on multiple business-license applications and nuisance-abatement items and deferred most final actions to the regular meeting pending certificates of occupancy, public hearings and additional paperwork.
Staff described Item 8 as an application for a vape operation doing business as KP04 at 105 North Burbank Drive; a councilmember said the applicant already holds an ABC (alcohol) license and has occupied the building for several months. For Item 9, staff said Babs Brunch LLC at 5761 At 9 Highway Austin had satisfied outstanding tax and license obligations but lacked a current certificate of occupancy; staff and councilors discussed whether the city may issue the business license pending a CO and asked legal/administrative staff to confirm the requirement.
Item 10, an application for a lounge retail liquor license for 21 Bar and Lounge at 3641 Davie Drive, had no objections from the councilmember for that district and was scheduled for a public hearing. Item 11, an application for a mobile food truck by Thomas Drinks and Eatery of Montgomery, had been coordinated with the relevant homeowners association and staff indicated it was likely to move forward in the regular session.
Items 13 and 14 concern nuisance-abatement designations and the resolution designating abatement agents; councilors asked clarifying questions and indicated they would address the items in the regular meeting. No final license grants or revocations were decided in the work session; councilors asked staff to provide missing certificates of occupancy and other documentation before taking action.
